I don't own Power Rangers! (Seems obvious, but I still think it's important to say.)

(Hi! Late 2021 Spidey again! Just made a few updates to this chapter as well, mostly with the description of the Hydra and an explanation that appears later on. Apparently, I should have done some research because I described the Hydra all wrong. So I just wanted to fix that. Thanks for bearing with all of these changes!)

Myth 5: Turning Heads

"Let's see..." Valerie Onasis said as she sat down on her bed. Her bedroom was about the size of a normal living room, and her voice echoed a little as she spoke. The pink comforter matched the pink walls and the pink streaks in her hair. She pulled out her weekly planner and a pen and started to write.

"Tomorrow I have dance team right after school, then the drama club has rehearsal from 4-6, then I have to help the softball team, and then I get home at… 8pm to work on homework," she said while she wrote it all down. She fell down onto the mattress and sighed. "So where do I have time for my Ranger duties?"

"Valerie," her mother said as he knocked on the door before coming in. "Don't forget that we have that party tomorrow night at 5:00 for my friend's son."

Valerie groaned as she rolled over onto her stomach and put her pillow over her head. "How am I going to do this?"


It was the next day when Valerie had to explain everything to the rest of the team.

"What do you mean you can't train with us?" Nate said while he sat down at the table.

"Exactly what it sounds like," Valerie answered, sitting down next to him as she did. "I have too much to do already, not to mention this stupid party I have to go to. My family has a reputation as one of the richest families in Olympia Hills, so we meet and greet with other rich families often. I never enjoy it, though."

"It's Friday, though," Jay said as he took a bite out of a chicken tender before spitting it back out. "Hot! Hot! Hot!"

He took a sip of water before continuing. "We were going to see the latest Space Adventure movie tonight. You sure you can't come?"

"My mom would kill me if I left early, and I couldn't go anyway with all of the clubs I was supposed to have," Valerie explained, "I already have to leave one early and cut the other one entirely."

"That is very unfortunate," Mera said, "but I suppose you must do what you must."

"Just try not to overdo it," Victor said.

"Thanks for understanding, guys," Valerie said. "I promise that we can train this weekend."


Hades grinned as he looked at the flame screen showing Valerie as she spoke to the other teens.

"I believe I have found my next target," he said to his queen. "I shall attack the Pink Ranger next. If I can force her to leave the party to help her friends, her mother will break her spirit for me! Her punishment will cause her to be unable to help the other Rangers!"

"My lord," Persephone said, turning to her husband. "Do you really think you should use a mother's punishment as a weapon? It seems a bit...beneath you."

"I swore to win by any means necessary if I want to rule the land of the living, which means no plan or weapon is too small," Hades said. "I'll do what I have to to destroy the Rangers. Gryphon!"

He dipped his hand into the blue flame in the brazier and formed a ball from it. He threw it to create a portal to a different part of the Underworld as Gryphon slipped out of the shadows.

"My lord?" he asked, kneeling on one knee in front of his master.

"I need the Hydra, now!" Hades ordered.

"As you command!" Gryphon said. He soared through the portal before dragging back a black serpent about the size of a large dog with spines on its back, a mouth full of sharp teeth and glowing red eyes. It slithered forward a bit, roaring and snarling, as Gryphon held it back on a leash made of blue flame.

"It's a lot smaller than I imagined," Persephone said bluntly, "and where are its multiple heads? Are you sure this is the right creature?"

"Of course it is the right creature!" Hades said over the beast snarling at the three beings around it. "The Hydra has many surprises for the Rangers, and one is its appearance. Now, Gryphon. Wait for my signal to unleash it, we must wait for the Pink Ranger to be unprepared, and then…we will strike!


"Valerie, if you don't hurry up, we'll be late!" Valerie's father shouted up the stairs as Valerie fumbled around with her dress. The dress was a dark pink-purple and was form-fitting, as well as...

"This dress is so uncomfortable!" Valerie complained before she finally pulled the last strap over her shoulder. "I feel like I'm going to suffocate!"

Her mother knocked before walking in.

"Don't you look nice!" her mother said as she handed Valerie a hair band, "but you'll look much better if we cover those pink streaks in your hair and make you more presentable."

Her mother tied Valerie's hair back in such a way that the pink streaks in her hair were covered by the black parts of her hair while also giving her a ponytail.

"Much better," her mother said. "Now let's go to the limo and get to the party."

As Valerie and her parents walked from her mansion to the limo, she tripped on the steps with her high heels.

"I hate these things," Valerie said while picking herself up off the ground. "All I do is trip in them."

"Come on, Valerie," her father said as he got into the limo. "The Onasis family has a reputation to uphold, so we can't be late!"

Valerie quickly got into the limo after her mother as the chauffeur closed the door behind her before going to the driver's seat and pulling away.

"Now, Valerie," her mother said. "I want you to act as a member of our family should. You should know that we…"

Valerie drowned her mother out with her thoughts, mostly about her friends.

I wonder how they're doing without me, she thought, her mother continuing her rant.


Jay tapped his foot as he looked at his watch. It was five minutes to 5:00, and the previews would start soon. Meanwhile, he was stuck waiting for his friends in front of the theater.

"A movie starting at 5:00 does not mean you should show up at 4:55," Jay said before glancing at his watch again. "Make that 4:56."

He looked up again to see the other three teens walking towards him.

"Sorry we're late," Victor said, "but Nate showed up at 4:45, and we were 10 minutes away."

"We may have pre-ordered tickets," Mera said, "but I still would rather show up early than be perfectly punctual."

"What she's basically saying, " Jay explained to Victor while they walked into the theater, "is that she wants to be early, not on time."

They were about to scan their tickets when their morphers went off.

"Sorry, we've got to take this," Jay said before the four teens backed away from the confused worker. They quickly ran back outside and into the adjacent alley.

"What's up?" Nate asked.

"I've got the Hydra attacking a construction site, and it's three blocks from your location," Hermes responded while typing on his giant mosaic computer.

"Guess the movie has to wait," Jay sighed before he crossed his arms. "Ready?"

The others nodded as they did the same.

"Ready!"

"Yellow Olympian Power!"

"Black Olympian Power!"

"Blue Olympian Power!"

"Red Olympian Power!"

There was a flash of light as the Rangers morphed before they leapt up to the fire escape, then they leapt to the next one and continued the pattern until they reached the roof of the building. They began to run to the direction of the construction site as the screams of terror filled their ears.


The limo pulled up in front of the mansion as Valerie mentally prepared herself for the torture that would follow. The chauffeur opened the door and the Onasis family stepped out. They walked up the steps, Valerie's mother still continuing her speech.

"...and so I expect you to act like an Onasis. We didn't work hard to make a fortune so you could deny it."

I just want to be like my friends, Valerie thought with a sigh, not a rich kid with standards she doesn't want to deal with.

Two servants held open the double doors for Valerie and her family as they walked into the mansion. There was a piano player currently on stage along with a band, playing a slower song for the guest to dance to, as well as circular tables around the dance floor for guests to rest their feet when they were done. Valerie hardly got to look around for a second before she was grabbed by the hand by her mother and dragged to some man with a teenage kid standing next to him. They were each in a black suit and had a red tie with a golden emblem on it. The older man appeared to be finishing a story before Valerie was dragged to stand in front of the man.

"And I said, 'where do you think this is? Silver Hills? Do I look like a Collins to you?'" the man asked as all of the older people laughed, while the teenage boy and Valerie just looked uncomfortable.

"James," Valerie's mother said as she shook the man's hand.

"Susan," the man said as he returned the shake, "and I assume this is Valerie?"

"Hi," Valerie said quickly. She looked around just as quick, trying to find a way out of this conversation.

"This is my son, Adrian," the man said as he slightly pushed Adrian forward. "Why don't you two dance while we talk?"

Both teens looked at each other awkwardly before Adrian led Valerie to the dance floor and began to dance to the beat.

"Let me guess. Your mother made you come?" Adrian asked, a couple of people pushing around the two.

"How'd you guess?" Valerie said as she got jostled a bit by the people next to her.

"You look like a prisoner planning an escape," he responded as the music changed to a slightly more high-paced style, with the two following everyone else's new pace.

"Fair enough, "Valerie admitted, "but you don't look too pleased to be at your own party."

"I'm not," Adrian said. "I really just wanted a small get together with my friends but my parents said…"

"Your family had a reputation to uphold?" Valerie finished.

"Exactly!" Adrian said as the two stopped dancing and began to laugh.

As their laughter died down, Valerie and Adrian walked towards a table, still talking.

"But in the end," Adrian continued, "he said we could just have two parties, this one and a smaller one."

"So one with people you know and one where you don't know anyone?" Valerie joked as the two began to laugh again.

Maybe this won't be so bad, Valerie thought.


"This is going pretty bad!" Nate said as he was slammed into a girder before Jay helped him into a standing position.

The Rangers had shown up at the construction site to find the Hydra eating anything it could sink its teeth into. Its body was getting longer and thicker the more it at. It was already as large as a car, with a neck and head like a wrecking ball, bowling over whatever it hit. Nate had been trying to leap onto the monster when he had been launched back.

"I'm going to end this before anyone gets hurt!" Jay said. He prepared to leap, but his concentration was interrupted with the laughter of a villainous sort.

"Gryphon," Jay said with a sigh. He summoned his sword.

"Red Ranger!" Gryphon announced as he floated above the Hydra, "I challenge you to one on one combat, and this is an offer you can't refuse!" he roared before creating a glowing blue-flamed portal in front of the Hydra. With a shout, dozens of Spartoi ran out and attacked the three other Rangers. Gryphon swooped down to attack Jay, leaving the Hydra to continue it's rampage unopposed.

Spartoi followed Mera as she ran up the ramp to the uncompleted second floor of the building. As one ran forward ahead of the rest, it tripped over the spear stabbed into a sandbag at knee height. Mera came swinging on a rope through the air to double kick the Spartoi in the chest, sending him flying over the other Spartoi, who were smart enough to duck, and off the building to the dusty ground below. She landed on both feet and grabbed her spear, before using the leverage the spear provided to hurl the sandbag at the Spartoi, who didn't duck this time. The entire hoard of them fell down to the ground below.

Nate ducked around a girder as a Spartoi swung its sword at him, causing it to be stuck in the metal bar. Nate grinned under his helmet as he kicked the minion into a group of others, causing them to all bowl over.

Victor picked up an unchained wrecking ball and threw it in the air before summoning his hammer to hit it straight into the group of Spartoi, causing them to scatter into little boney pieces.

Jay and Gryphon were locked in a very even sword duel. Each blocked the others thrusts with a parry, and each slash with a perfectly timed block. Jay flipped away and raised his sword to the sky, summoning a bolt of lightning, before redirecting the bolt to his bronze covered adversary. Gryphon screamed in pain before lifting his smoking body from the ground and limping over to the Hydra.

"This isn't over, Rangers!" he snarled as he pulled out a golden apple.

"Uh...I've heard of golden delicious apples, but that apple is literally gold!" Nate said.

"One golden apple should give you the strength to defeat the Rangers!" Gryphon yelled before throwing the apple up in the air and into the Hydra's mouth. The monster grew to the size of a small building.

"Best of luck, Rangers," Gryphon said with a laugh as he disappeared in his signature black smoke.

The Rangers looked in horror as the Hydra continued its rampage.

"I've got this!" Nate said as he jumped towards the Hydra before stabbing it clean through the throat with his quickly summoned trident. Nate landed as the head fell to the ground before the neck began to glow before growing a new head and splitting into two identical heads with the split occurring exactly where Nate had stabbed.

"Uh oh," Nate said as he turned around. "Now we have two heads to deal with!"

"I would have told you that, but I thought you had heard of the Hydra before!" Jay shouted. "Any time you cut off one head, two more take its place!"

"Now you tell me," Nate said.

"Hercules defeated the Hydra by cutting off it's head and lighting the neck on fire," Mera thought out loud, "but I bet lightning will do the trick too!"

Jay raised his sword to the sky again as lightning struck the metal blade before he jumped and slashed both heads off with a single strike. The heads crashed to the ground as he landed in a crouch. He turned around to see the fire on the necks go out as the necks glowed and split so there were now four heads.

"Yeah, that didn't work either!" Jay shouted while the Rangers regrouped once again.

"Maybe the Olympian Crossbow will defeat it?" Victor suggested.

"We can't build it without Valerie," Jay said. "I guess we have to call her."

"Is it wise to do so?" Mera asked. "Valerie made it clear that she would be occupied with the party."

"We don't have a choice," Jay said. "This monster will eat the city if we don't stop it!"


'Which school do you go to?" Valerie asked. She had been continuing the conversation with Adrian for about an hour now, and had found out that they actually had a lot in common.

"I go to Olympia Hills Prep," Adrian responded, "but I would rather go to Olympia Hills High."

"That is so funny!" Valerie said, "I go there right now!"

The two continued to talk before Valerie's morpher sounded off.

"Sorry," Valerie said. "I have to take this."

She got up to leave, but her mother came up behind her. She grabbed Valerie by the shoulder as she prepared to walk out.

"Going somewhere?" she asked in a stern voice.

"Yes, mom," Valerie said as she moved her mother's hand off her shoulder. "My friends need my help with something, and I can't let them down."

"While I respect you for wanting to aid your friends," her mother said, "I think we need to talk about these friends of yours. They're too...middle class. Look at how well you get along with Adrian! Can't you see how he'll be a better influence on you? Much better than your commoner friends."

"Excuse me?" Valerie said as she tried, unsuccessfully, to not fly into a rage. "Those are my friends. you can't just insult them!"

"I just want you to make better choices…"

"I'm about to make a great choice: I'm done. You can't make me something I'm not!" she shouted as she let her hair down to show the pink streaks to everyone in the party. She continued by kicking off her high heels as everyone around them began to whisper and point.

Valerie stormed out, an aura of pure rage around her. She reached the steps and was about to run away when a limo pulled up. The door opened to reveal the most beautiful woman Valerie had ever seen. The woman was wearing a revealing golden dress with a black belt. She stepped out of the vehicle and closed the door behind her before noticing and then walking up to Valerie.

"What's the matter, honey?" she asked.

"I just… family issues." Valerie explained briefly. "Look, I've got somewhere I really need to be."

"Just one piece of advice," the woman said. "As someone with a crazy family, I know how frustrating they can be. You just have to remember that they do love you no matter what, and love can solve any problem."

"Thanks," Valerie said sarcastically before running down the street.

"No problem sweetheart!" the woman cheerfully said as she pressed on one of her earrings. "Hey Herm! I just talked to Valerie, and gave her some advice. Tell them that she's on her way!...No, it was no problem at all! We're all here to help, when they need it most."

Her eyes changed from brown to blue and her hair changed from brunette to blonde in the blink of an eye. Two servants opened the doors for her and she stepped through.

"Uh huh, bye bye!" she finished before the doors closed behind her. "now who's ready to party?"

Time to find the twins, she thought as the gold and silver gems on her belt began to shine.


Valerie looked around the street quickly as she ran down it. It was thankfully completely deserted.

"Pink Olympian Power!" she shouted

In a flash of pink-colored light, Valerie's form was replaced by the Pink Ranger as she continued her run down the road. She soon arrived at the construction site, just as the four Hydra heads slammed the other four Rangers into a wall. Valerie offered a hand to Jay and helped pull him up.

"I skip out on one fight," Valerie joked, "and this is what happens?"

"We were just weakening him for you," Jay said.

He moved over to Mera and helped pull her up before aiding the others.

"We need to form the Olympian Crossbow!" Victor shouted as the Hydra roared at the 5 Rangers.

"Let me take the lead for this one," Valerie said.

"Sure," Jay responded.

The Rangers summoned their weapons and created the Olympian Crossbow, but with Valerie and Jay swapping places so that Valerie was at the trigger and Jay was supporting it. Valerie infused the Lightning Sword with some of her power as she prepared to fire.

"Olympic Heart Attack! Fire!" Valerie shouted. The sword was launched from the bowstring into the Hydra's chest before sending out a pink energy charge that caused the monster to scream out in pain before falling to the ground, dead. The remains of the monster blew up in a large cloud of fire and ash.

"Did we just stop its heart, then blow it up?" Nate asked as the Rangers sent their weapons away.

"We just struck it from the inside," Mera realized. "In the one place it couldn't regenerate."

"I have no idea how it exactly works," Valerie said, "but a woman told me the power of love could solve any problem, so I decided to take the advice literally."

"Looks like it worked," Victor observed.

There was a roar behind them, and the Rangers turned around to find that Hades had healed the monster and made it grow to giant size.

"We need the Zords!" Valerie shouted into her communicator in her helmet.

"On their way," Hermes said as he hit a few rune-keys.

The Rangers looked up to see the Eagle and Owl Zords flying past with the Fish Zord in the Eagle Zord's talons and the Horse Zord and Bull Zord galloping and stomping respectively to the Ranger's location.

The Rangers jumped into their respective Zords and inserted the Olympian Gems.

"All Rangers report in and prepare to switch to Warrior Mode!" Jay shouted as he turned the knob to the correct setting.

"This is Nate, ready to kick Hydra butt!"

"Mera here, all systems are go!"

"This is Victor, and I am ready!"

"Valerie here, prepared to save the day!"

All of the Rangers turned their knobs to "WARRIOR MODE" and the zords began to transform.

The Bull Zord was the first to change, as the head came off, the body split apart and the legs flipped around 180ᣞ and the front and back legs combined.

The Horse Zord was next, as its head went into a chest cavity while the front and back legs combined together and connected to the Bull Zord legs, forming a complete waist, legs and feet.

The Eagle Zord was next. As its wings clipped off together in one long arc-shaped piece and its legs slid into its body before it connected to the Horse Zord, it was now forming the entire body of the combination. The Eagle Zord head screeched and opened up its mouth to fit the other side of the Bull Zord's head into it, revealing a robotic face.

Next came the Owl Zord. As its head detached from the body and the body detached from the wings, the wings clipped onto the sides of the Eagle Zord and expanded, forming the arms.

Lastly was the Fish Zord. As the entire dorsal fin and tail came off, it popped open completely in half before coming onto the Eagle Zord's body as a chestplate and combining together again. The tail folded into a plume that went onto the Eagle Zord's head to complete the helmet look. The horns from the Bull Zord head attached together and became a straight point before combining with the dorsal fin to create a large spear that went into the left hand. The Owl Zord body lengthened itself a bit before the head slid into a hole in the center, finishing the shield, which went on the right arm.

"Olympian Megazord: Warrior Mode ready!" all five Rangers shouted as they all joined together in a single cockpit. Jay was in the front with Nate diagonally to his right, Victor diagonally on his left, Valerie diagonally behind Nate and Mera diagonally behind Victor.

The Hydra roared in response and opened its mouths. Out of the mouths came shots of acid that the Megazord blocked with its shield before smacking the Hydra with the butt of its spear.

"I don't know how we beat this!" Nate shouted. "If we try to take its heads off, it'll just double the problem!"

"Maybe we should be thinking about this a different way," Valerie said. "Instead of what we could do to defeat it, maybe we just need to weaken it more first."

"Good thinking!" Jay said while he flicked some switches. "Removing weapons!"

The spear and shield came off of the arms and strapped onto the back of the Megazord, leaving it barehanded for some hand-to-head combat. The Megazord threw a left hook on one head, before uppercutting another. As the two hit heads recovered, the other two began to glow and split.

"Uh...we didn't even cut the Hydra's heads off, and its growing more!" Victor shouted as the heads stopped multiplying once there were seven, with the two damaged ones making the head count nine. The damaged ones quickly recovered, and all nine heads roared at the Megazord.

"We just have to keep trying!" Jay shouted as the Megazord sent a flurry of punches to the beast. The monster's heads got hit, just to quickly get up and come back for more. Four of the heads stretched to bite down on the Megazord, one on each limb. The other five heads started to bite at exposed pieces of machinery on the robot. The Rangers screamed as the console room began to spark.

"Systems are going down!" Victor called out, the lights flickering and the control panels blinking.

"Hermes, any sort of aid you can give us?" Jay asked into his communicator in his helmet.

"I've been working on restoring this for a little while now, but I think this is the perfect time to use it. I'm sending a Zord to help." Hermes said as he tapped some keys.

The Rangers watched as an aqua peacock ran next to and then into the Hydra, before leaping in the air and spinning its feathers on its back fast enough to create a whirlwind that caused the Hydra to lose its grip and get pushed back.

"Meet the Hera-powered Peacock Zord, Rangers," Hermes said. "As your own Gems increase in power, they will start to connect to the unbonded Gems, creating a link. While not as powerful as a full bond, they still allow the Zords to be used. Now try combining the Peacock Zord with the Megazord! I'll send one of the Olympian Gems"

An aqua gem appeared in Valerie's hand and she replaced the left pink gem with the aqua gem, "Peacock Zord, combine!" she shouted.

The owl's left wing-arm detached as the Peacock Zord attached itself. The tail feathers split to form a fan-like weapon.

"Olympian Megazord: Warrior Mode with Peacock Power!" the Rangers shouted as the Megazord grabbed the shield off its back and put it on its right arm. The Hydra showed no fear, and opened its mouths to spew acid.

"Activate the Peacock Fan!" Jay ordered Valerie. She pressed a few buttons and the fan began to spin, reflecting the acid back at the beast. The Hydra roared in pain as the acid ate away at it's scales and skin. It flopped it's heads down, weakened.

"Time to finish this!" Jay said. "Activate the Peacock Final Saw Attack!"

The Peacock's feathers began to spin. The Megazord charged forward and used its Peacock arm as a saw to cut the Hydra into small pieces. The monster roared as the Megazord sliced right through it before the Hydra exploded. The Rangers began to cheer before Valerie stood up.

"I need to go back to the party," she said, "and I was wondering if you could come with me. My parents don't think very highly of you, and I want to prove them wrong."

"Of course," Jay said. "Let's go."


The party was still going strong when the teens arrived. The two servants opened the doors for them again as Valerie led them inside. The music was more upbeat now, with a saxophone turning the once peaceful dance hall into a jazz-styled club. Valerie looked around, but the mysterious woman from before was gone. She did, however, find her mother. She was talking to the man, Adrian's father, from before, and she didn't sound happy.

"Tell me, James," she said. "How do I deal with my rebellious daughter?"

"You just need to find a compromise," Adrian's father said. "For instance: my son wanted a smaller private party and as a compromise I said we could just have two parties, the one I wanted, and the one he wanted."

"But your family's honor-?"

"Isn't as important as his happiness," Adrian's father finished.

"I never really thought about it that way before," Valerie's mother said. "I just forced what I wanted on her. But she found a way to become her own person, and, now that I think about it, I'm proud of that person she has become. We just need to find a compromise between my standards and-"

"And who I am," Valerie finished. Her mother turned around to see Valerie and the other teens all in nicer clothing than usual. Jay was in a polo shirt, Nate in a blue t-shirt, Victor in a black v-neck and Mera in a yellow shirt and a skirt.

"I'm not perfect and I'm not saying I am, " Valerie said, "but I can try to live up to the Onasis legacy, while also being...me. I'm sorry I left earlier. I just got a little angry."

"I'm sorry for making you angry," her mother said, "and even though I didn't know you were listening, I meant every word I said. Let's find a compromise together, please. I don't want you to be unhappy."

"Well, this wrapped up unnaturally well," Nate whispered to Jay as the friends watched Valerie and her mother hug.

"Just be quiet and let them enjoy the moment," Jay whispered back.

Valerie and her mother broke up the hug and Valerie looked back at her friends before looking at her mother again.

"Mom, " she said. "I want to introduce you to my friends. Nate may be hotheaded, but he means well. Victor isn't great socially, but he definitely tries his best. Mera is so smart that we help keep her close to earth. And Jay, well, he's really the glue holding us together. None of us would have met if it weren't for him. I know these aren't the friends you want me to have, but these are the friends I have. We've only known each other for a couple of weeks, but I wouldn't trade them for the world."

Valerie's mother looked at them before smiling. "If they make you happy, I think I can find a way to accept them. Now go have fun! This is a party after all!"

The music slowed down, and the teens began to dance. Nate and Mera did a slow dance together, to the shock of the rest of the teens, and Valerie and Adrian slow danced together too.

Victor walked over to Jay.

"I thought you liked her," he said. "So why are you letting her dance with that boy?"

"Because she looks happy," Jay said, "and as hard as it is for me to accept, maybe we just aren't a good match."

Valerie and Adrian separated before Valerie walked over to the two and offered Jay her hand.

"Are you just going to stand here or can we dance?" Valerie asked.

"Scratch that," Jay whispered to Victor as he and Valerie walked over to the dance floor and began to slow dance together.

"Kind of surprised you asked me to dance with you," Jay said, "I thought you and Adrian would be together for a while. You sure you two aren't a couple or something?"

"Not really interested in him," Valerie said.

"Is there someone you are interested in?" Jay asked innocently.

Valerie's mind froze. Should she say something? Or was it too risky?

Probably too risky, she thought.

"Nope, nobody," she said out loud.

Jay's face fell quickly before he recovered.

"Ok," he said simply to hide his pain.

Adrian sighed, it seemed so obvious to him that the two of them liked each other, but he didn't want to ruin it for his new friend, Valerie. He walked over to the stage, where a girl in a silver dress was standing.

"So, sister," he said. "What do you think of them?"

His sister, Diana, sighed as she crossed her arms.

"I don't really care," she snapped, "I don't want to be here anyway."

"But you have to admit the story that woman told was interesting," Adrian said. "What with the gods and the monsters. It's kind of strange she gave us these." He held up the golden stones the woman had had earlier, as Diana raised her palm to reveal the silver ones she held.

"Definitely interesting," she said, "these 'Olympian Gems'..."

So begins the introduction of some new characters. I want to thank JTWAS1994 for the idea of auxiliary zords, and everyone else who has remained a loyal reader! Until next time, may the power protect you!
