"What do you mean 'What's a Power Ranger'? There. That. Those." Ziggy said as he pointed to each Ranger. After seeing them fight for a while, Ava, Dillon, and Ziggy got out of the car.
"Are they the protectors of Corinth?" Ava asked
"They sure are. Isn't this exciting to watch?" Ziggy asked
"Maybe, but I want to steer clear from the fight. I don't want to bother them." Ava said. She started to head back to the car with Dillon following her, but Ziggy stopped them.
"Guys." Ziggy said. He pointed up to the sky, or ceiling of the dome, where they saw drones coming in. Ava and Dillon noticed them.
"Great, they send in their reinforcements." Ava said sarcastically. Tons of drones began shooting lasers. One of them were shooting directly where Ava, Dillon, and Ziggy were. Ziggy got scared and threw himself inside the window of the passenger seat. Dillon stood completely still, like it didn't affect him. Ava crossed her arms in front of her to shield her face. When the shooting stopped, they noticed that the Power Rangers got inside weird animal looking vehicles. Ziggy, who successfully got inside the car through the window, tapped on Dillon. Dillon turned to face him. Ava looked at Ziggy as well.
"Look, Grinders. They're gonna ambush Yellow." Ziggy said. Ava and Dillon saw a big group of Grinders preparing something to knock the yellow ranger out of the fight.
"I hate Grinders." Both Dillon and Ava said. They looked at each other.
"Jinx. You owe me a drink." Ava said. She looked down at the ground and saw a long metal pole. She grabbed it and ran towards the Grinders.
"What's she doing?" Dillon thought. He watched as Ava began attacking the Grinders. She was doing a great job so far. She took out the barricade and now she's attacking Grinders head on. Dillon mentally smiled.
"She's nothing that I thought she would be. She's good." Dillon thought. He got in the driver seat and tried to start the car. He was planning to drive his car towards the Grinders and knock them all out before they knock out the yellow ranger.
Before Venjix took over, Ava had been the top student in all types of offense and defense classes, including weapons. She had won first place in every single tournament she participated in. Ava tried to destroy all the Grinders before they could fire their weapon on the yellow ranger, but there were so many of them.
"Ava, look out!" A voice yelled. Ava turned around to see Dillon driving his car backwards, toward her and the Grinders. Ava quickly moved out of the way and Dillon destroyed the Grinders and their weapon. And as a bonus, the weapon took out some of the drones. Talk about a win-win. Ava looked at Dillon, who smirked at her. Ava smiled and went to him and Ziggy.
"Well, that just happened. You two ok?" Ava asked
"I am. Can't say the same for him." Dillon said. He pointed to Ziggy, who had his eyes wide opened and was holding on tight to the seat. He was extremely terrified. Ava covered her mouth to hold in her laughter. Dillon and Ziggy got out of the car.
"Thank you, whoever you are." That was the yellow ranger's voice coming from a speaker. Soon, the city shields were operating again and the gates closed. Unfortunately, the big machine got bigger, like four times its size. But fortunately, the rangers also got bigger by combining their vehicles into one big robot. Ava heard them call it a 'Megazord'. The rangers destroyed the machine. The day was saved. Then the rangers' vehicles disappeared and they were on the ground, near them. The yellow ranger held up her cellphone like object and pushed a button that made her helmet disappear. The yellow ranger revealed herself to be a blond girl.
"Hey. I don't know how to thank you." The yellow ranger said. Ava heard police sirens and saw police jeeps arriving.
"Huh?" Ava looked confused. Why were the police here?
"You could start with some gas, maybe some water, and I'll be on my way." Dillon said. But right after he said that, two policemen grabbed Dillon. Ava and Ziggy were also grabbed. Ava wasn't resisting, but the police handled her like she was. A bit harsh. Dillon was resisting a bit.
"Look, I'm not staying!" Dillon yelled
"Would you please stop gripping me like I'm resisting because I'm not." Ava said. She felt their grip loosen a bit, but they still kept a watchful eye on her.
"It-It's cool, guys. I'm tight with my main amigo here, Mr. Hero himself. We're like brothers." Ziggy said. He was referring to Dillon. A policeman hovered a scanner up and down Dillon's back, and then took it away.
"Sir, he's an infiltrator." The policeman said
"Uh, I don't even know this dude." Ziggy immediately responded
"Yeah, 'like brothers'. Real loyal, Ziggy." Ava said
"Sir, picking up internal Venjix hardware, Sir—Generation Seven, at least." The policeman said. Ava looked at Dillon, but he was looking away. Then the policemen started to take away Ava, Dillon, and Ziggy to who knows where. Prison probably.
"Ok, now, you're making a big mistake here, guys. I'm not with him. I've never met this dude before." Ziggy said
"Ziggy?" Ava called
"Yeah?" Ziggy asked
"Shut up." Ava said calmly. Ziggy closed his mouth and became silent. After getting dragged to the jeeps, they arrived to jail, where they gave Dillon and Ziggy orange jumpers. Ava didn't get one because all the jumpers were for men. They were separated into different holding cells. Ava sat on the chair behind the desk that was in her cell. Two policemen stood inside the cell, watching Ava, making sure she doesn't try anything.
"What is your relationship with the robot?" One of the policemen asked
"Ok, one, he's not a robot. He just had robot machinery in him. And, two, I didn't know he had machinery inside him. I'm just as surprised as you are." Ava said
"You're positive?" The second policeman asked
"Yes, positive." Ava said. The room was then filled with silence. Ava didn't mind. She has wanted peace and quiet ever since Venjix took over. A few moments later, the two policemen told Ava to follow them to the prison cafeteria. When she entered, there were other criminals in the cafeteria, looking at her. She heard footsteps behind her. Ava turned her to see Dillon and Ziggy. Ava turned her head back to the criminals, who were walking up towards them. The criminals all looked at Ziggy.
"Ziggy. You've got a lot of nerve showing your face in the city after what you pulled." A criminal said. Ava heard the door close behind her. Guess the police won't be any help.
"Ronin, Ronin, listen…" Ziggy went on babbling. Dillon said he wasn't with Ziggy. Ronin pointed at Ava.
"You with him?" Ronin asked. Ava looked at Ziggy, who looked like he was pleading for help. Ava crossed her arms and spoke confidently.
"Yeah, I'm with Ziggy. So what?" Ava asked. Ziggy smiled knowing someone was on his side.
"Well, that's too bad. Mama always said to never hit a girl. Get her." Ronin said. Ziggy was dragged to a table while the rest of the criminals were surrounding Ava. Dillon walked away, got prison food, and sat down. Dillon was considering helping Ava, but he didn't know why. Either way, he didn't move.
"Great, just great." Ava muttered. The criminals were closing in on her. With no hesitation or second thought, Ava got into a fighting stance and threw hard kicks. Lots of them. None of the criminals had time to fight back. They were all on the ground, injured. Ava looked at Ronin and the other criminals, who were staring at her with a bit of shock and fear. Ziggy was also looking at her, but not with shock and fear, but with a face that knows that he is protected. Even Dillon was impressed. He was watching the whole thing. Ava started to walk towards them. Dillon thought it was time to get in the fun. He stood up with his empty tray and walked to the food. He heard earlier that Ronin would hurt anyone who took his last strawberry jelly piece. So, he scooped the jelly and put it on his tray.
Meanwhile, with Ava…
"Let Ziggy go and I'll consider going easy on you." Ava said
"Yeah? And what are you going to do about it if we don't?" Ronin asked. Ava went to the nearest criminal, grabbed his shirt, and lifted him off his feet. She threw him to the side like it was nothing. Ava looked back at Ronin.
"Let Ziggy go and you won't end up like this guy or the ones behind me." Ava said. Suddenly, they all heard a loud clanging. It was Dillon taking the last piece of strawberry jelly. Ronin's attention left Ava and focused on Dillon. The other criminals went with him. Ava helped Ziggy off the table.
"That was awesome." Ziggy said
"Thanks." Ava said. They heard Ronin talk to Dillon.
"What do you think you're doing?" Ronin asked
"Getting some dessert." Dillon said. Ava smiled because she knew what was to come from this.
"Dillon's a tough guy. He can handle himself." Ava thought
"You should have picked another one, my friend. The lime is just as good." Ronin said
"Then you won't mind eating it." Dillon said
"You should walk back to your table now while you still can." Ronin said, trying to sound scary. Epic fail.
"I am. And I'm taking my dessert with me." Dillon said
"I suggest you hide." Ava said to Ziggy. Ziggy nodded and took cover. Ava simply stood there; ready to watch the whole thing unfold.
"You'll never make it." Ronin said as he gripped Dillon's right shoulder.
"Let's find out." Dillon said. Then the fight began. Ava couldn't describe the fight in one word. All she could do is watch while Dillon fought and Ziggy hid. The cool part of the fight was that Dillon fought with his tray on his hand. Eventually, Dillon won and sat down at a table, eating his dessert. Ava grabbed a spoon and walked towards the table Dillon sat at. Ziggy came too. Ziggy sat down next to him while Ava sat in front of him.
"Those were some pretty cool moves, Dillon." Ava said
"You were pretty tough too." Dillon said. Ava smiled and nodded. Ava then scooped up a piece of the strawberry jelly from Dillon's tray and put it in her mouth. Dillon stopped and looked at her. Ava took the spoon out of her mouth after chewing and swallowing her piece of jelly.
"What? I like strawberries." Ava said. Before Dillon could respond, a few other criminals who weren't a part of either fight came behind Dillon.
"Hey, man, you're in my seat." A criminal said. Dillon said nothing.
"I said, 'you're in my seat', bro." The criminal said
"Uh, Hector, you might want to, uh, let this one slide." Ziggy said
"Why? What's this little fool gonna do?" Hector asked
"Ziggy, how do you know such stupid criminals?" Ava asked. Ziggy opened his mouth, but Ava held her index finger up.
"That was a rhetorical question." Ava said. She looked at Dillon.
"You wanna do it, or should I?" Ava asked. Then Dillon stood up. In less than five minutes, Dillon sent those criminals tumbling down the stairs that lead outside the cafeteria. Dillon came back and sat down.
"I feel like this will be the start of a beautiful friendship." Ziggy said smiling. Ava and Dillon both looked at him, then to each other. Dillon continued eating his jelly. Ava frowned and looked at Ziggy.
"Sorry, Ziggy, but I have no friends." Ava said. Ziggy frowned. Dillon stopped eating and looked at Ava. Then the policemen came to take Ava, Dillon, and Ziggy back to their cells. Ava sat again on the same chair, behind the same desk, with the same two policemen watching her.
"I'm gonna get out of this." Ava thought. Then she closed her eyes, enjoying the peace and quiet.
