It was a few days after the group had rescued Frankie and Amy had returned as the magenta ranger to the Mystic Warrior team along with their black ranger joining. As for Irene well...if they ever saw her again then both teams have yet another enemy to take down.
The group was currently at the Ravens home as they helped pack a few things "I'm really glad that we're finally able to go on this trip. After what we've been through I think we need it." Morgana said.
Kathy nods as she helps Frankie into the family's van "You sure you all will be able to take care of my siblings while I'm gone?" Frankie asked.
Minerva nods "I'm here to so I can help out as well." Minerva told her and Frankie bit her lip before sighing.
"Okay. Judith is going to be there to so you should all be good." Frankie said.
Charles rolled his eyes "We know Frankie. We've helped take care of your siblings while you were missing, and I'm just glad they understand you need a break." Charles told her.
Frankie nods as the other two girls get in their seats while Cody and Drew closed the back door "You all just enjoy yourselves. Don't even worry about us or umm...them." Drew told the three girls, and then the parents came out and each said goodbye.
After the van left the five watched before looking to one another "This is going to be a long ten days without them." Cody says looking down.
Charles shrugged "Hey it isn't that bad. Anyways I'm going to show Minerva around town a bit more. Anyone want to join?" Charles asked.
Drew and Cody nod while Nora shakes her head "I can't. I have a new SLIP segment to work on. I've been really working hard on this cosplay for a while now, and was actually inspired by Macha." Nora says with a giggle as she had been working on a elf sorceress/knight idea.
"Wow. Well I look forward to seeing it Nora." Drew said as the four took off to show Minerva around, and Nora headed for home.
As she did though she felt a small headache coming on "Awaken yourself my daughter. Awaken Vogue. Come to your mother." A low feminine voice whispered and she shakes it away.
"There it is again...is the voice talking to me?" Nora thought as this wasn't he first time that she had heard this mysterious voice talking to her. It had been for weeks now as it first started back when Amy had been forced away from the others, and slowly the voice had gotten louder as well as more persistent. Yet now with both Amy and Frankie back the voice had become nothing more than a whisper.
"Why is it calling me her daughter? Who is Vogue?" Nora whispered to herself nervous. As she headed home one of the bushes shake and Nora jumps as out jumps a few squirrels who just went running.
Nora let's out a sigh of relief as she headed on her way "Just some squirrels. Nothing to worry about." She thought and shivers a bit.
"Though if it's just squirrels then...why do I still feel so nervous? Is someone watching me?" She then thought and went right into her house locking the doors and windows before going to her room.

At the mall in town Minerva was looking around with the guys curious as they were not only getting her a few changes of clothes, but also helping to satisfy her curiosity as she asked about a lot of things.
"So what can we do about this situation? I mean yeah she's your sister, but she doesn't exactly you know...exist here on Earth." Drew told him.
Charles sighed "Well I've been thinking about that. I think the best I can do is adopt my little sister and make it legal." Charles said.
"Do you think that will even work? I mean your not even an adult." Drew pointed out and Charles groaned.
Minerva returned with some soccer and skate equipment she was interested in and that fit her "I hope you don't mind, but these seem interesting, and I wanted to give them a try. Couldn't hurt." Minerva said and Charles nods buying the equipment for her.
They left the shop and stopped at the food court for lunch finding an isolated corner to talk in "Minerva I'm just wondering...could you tell me anything about our home?" Charles asked as the other two were just as curious.
Minerva thought searching her earliest memories "Our home was beautiful, and while many of our kind loved to fight we we're actually quite peaceful. Our parents were the king and queen of the whole planet." Minerva says as Drew spit out some of his drink.
"What!" He exclaimed as Charles looked at her in surprise.
Drew then looked to Charles "...You know when she mentioned something about you having a royal like name didn't think it would be true right?" Drew asked as Charles nods.
Minerva giggles looking at Charles "You'd help mom take care of me Charles. You were and are even now a great big brother." She says as Charles blushed at the compliments.
Charles grins a bit "Yep. I am pretty amazing aren't I?" He said
Cody smiles a bit looking down "And self obsessed." Cody added on and Charles glares Cody looking away still with a small smile on his face.
Minerva giggles again at this "Come on big brother. Just a small bit of humor." Minerva says nudging Charles who sighs before laughing a bit.
"Still to think that I actually had a real home. Now though I got a bigger reason to beat King Glendios and his armada." Charles said hands gripped into fists.
Minerva puts a hand on his shoulder "Don't go seeking revenge. If anything do it for the right reasons." Minerva said.
Cody nods "Anyways I wanted to show you guys something." Cody says taking out his notebook.
Opening it they saw that it was a short story that Cody was working on "Everything going on has inspired me so I've been writing a short story based upon a few of our adventures. Everyone is represented." Cody said as Drew took it interested as the other two lean over to read it as well.
After it was done Drew closed and laughs a bit "I got to say it's a pretty good story. It even made me laugh a few times." Drew said.
Charles nods "Some pretty good action. Your actually a pretty good writer Cody." He said and then raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you only showing us this now?" He then asked.
Cody looks away nervous "Because well...I was scared everyone would laugh. I also didn't want to be compared to my parents." Cody says.
Drew pats his shoulder "Hey I don't think any of us have the right to judge. I live with my Aunt Kory, Charles and Minerva are homeless, Nora and Frankie's parents are barely home, and the Ravens sisters have tried to kill each other if you recall." Drew told Cody calmly to which they understood.
"Yeah so having us read one of your stories isn't so scary." Charles said.
Cody looked away "To you guys." He said deciding to just stay silent after that.
Minerva looked confused as she didn't understand what Cody meant and was going to ask, but was stopped as Charles gave a sharp shake of the head.
"Let's not do this. Come on we're having a day to ourselves so let's make the most of it." Drew said, and then tripped and his drink fell on top of him.
The three laughed as Drew came up cup upside down on his head as he himself was wet "Not exactly what I meant, and nor did I intend to get some new clothes today." Drew said as Cody helped him up.
One quick trip to the restroom to dry him off, and another to a store for some new clothes did they continue. They eventually came to an arcade and went in showing Minerva how to play some and she took to it surprisingly quick.
Hours would pass, and the group left heading for home as Charles phone beeps with a text "It's Nora. She's asking if Minerva wants to sleep at her place tonight." Charles told them and looks at Minerva who nods interested.
"Well if the girls are doing that how about a guys night at yours Charles?" Drew suggested.
Charles shrugs "Sure, but we should probably drop Minerva off first." He said as they got to his truck the four of them managing to fit in.
They arrived at Nora's and after seeing his younger sister go in did Charles drive off towards his apartment.
=UNIVERSE=
After some fun games, storytelling, and watching movies did the two girls go to sleep, and while Minerva was sleeping well Nora on the other hand was restless.
[Dream]
Nora was in a vast void like place "Why are you still denying it Vogue?" The female voice asked as Nora started running.
"S-Stop calling me that! My name is Nora!" Nora yells.
The voice sighed "Oh my dear sweet child. You know little of your real heritage from me." The voice continued.
Nora looked around "I don't know what you mean." She says.
"You deserve so much more my child. You may not be the oldest, but you certainly have powers even stronger than mine. Yet they are out of reach because of your foolishness." The voice continued on as Nora was darting around scared as the vast void became a maze.
"You are lost and confused my dark princess. Embrace the darkness hidden in you, and you will become more than you are now." The voice continued on as Nora came to a dead end.
"The powers of light and darkness, and that of the flames of rebirth are yours to take. First you must accept the darkness you have. Like you nearly did all those years ago." The voice continued.
Nora stopped frozen "Like I almost did years ago?" she asked as she was surprised by her saying this as at first she couldn't think of anything.
Then the two boys bullying her and leaving her in the forest hurt came to mind, and she recalled that was one time she felt so alone and unwanted. She also felt like something was bubbling to the surface, but once the woman and the dog found and comforted her it subsided.
"I-I don't want it. Just leave me alone!" Nora shouts
The voice sighs before giving a small laugh "You say that now, but a time will come my dark princess, and when it does you will seek me out even if you don't want to." The female voice says and then vanished as the dream began to fade
[Dream End]
Nora woke with a start drenched in sweat "A nightmare?" She asked herself as she only remembered a few details, but she recalled hearing that voice again.
Seeing the time Nora got up and decided to fix some breakfast for her and Minerva, and do some thinking.
She recalled little of her dream/nightmare, but she remembers hearing that voice again as well as some of what she said. Something the voice had told her was so sure that it would be done.
"I will seek her out even if I don't want to? I...I'm getting a bad feeling about that. If she's claiming to be my true mother though then what about my mom?" Nora muttered as she knew that she couldn't just ask her dad as he is often busy.
Nora continued to make breakfast failing to notice in the distance something shining as it bounces off a glass surface.
That's the end of Episode 34, and yes for this I've decided to put the red, yellow, and purple rangers on standby. This one will be more focused on our other four rangers and their interactions with other characters. Their will also be a mystery thrown in along the way involving Nora, and it will unfold along the way. So I hope your ready because more is yet to come so until next time this has been your friendly fanfiction writer decode9!
