What is everyone, I'm back finally with the ninth episode of Power Rangers: Trident Force and I"m sorry about the very long wait, as you guys know if you saw my author's note at the beginning of the last chapter I gone to the hospital to get my appendix removed and I was recovering just fine but then like I think a week or two later I ended up getting sick with a stomach virus making me go back to the hospital and then to put the cherry on top of my oh so great end of the year I found out that it wasn't my appendix that made me sick at first it was the cancer they found inside. So on November 25 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Defused Large Cell Lympphoma, and have had two rounds of chemo so far and that is one of the many reasons why I haven't updated any of my stories on the site aside from the usual writer's block. Anyways I am doing great, thankfully I haven't had any of the common side effects from the chemo treatment but enough about that here is Part 1 of 4 of The Green With Envy story arc introducing The Green Trident Force Ranger.
Last Time on Power Rangers: Trident Force
"She got away again," Marcus said in annoyance.
"Well then we'll go back to the…" Abby stated to say when suddenly a dark emerald green blur appeared out of nowhere and struck all five rangers sending them flying backwards to the ground.
They all groaned in pain as they slowly started to get back to their feet. The moment they got back to their feet the green blur appeared again striking them all down for a second time.
"What the heck is going on?" Corey asked.
"We're being attacked genius" Sasha replied sarcastically.
"How are we supposed to defend ourselves?" Mikayla asked.
"You're not!" came a chilling reply.
The five rangers got to their feet but this time no attack came, they looked around hoping to spot their attacker.
"Up there!" Mikayla yelled pointing up at one of the trees in front of them.
The other four Trident Force Rangers turned around and looked to where the pink ranger was pointing. That's when they saw a figure up in the tree. The figure was standing on a branch with their back to the tree. They had one hand up in front of them and the other hand in front of that hand holding a dagger that they were tapping against the back of his other hand. The mysterious person was wearing the same ranger uniform as them but dark green.
"Who are you?" Abby asked.
"The Green Trident Ranger" the figure replied before leaping down from the tree landing in front of them.
"What do you want?" Corey asked.
Green Ranger let out a dark chuckle before speaking.
"Simple…. Your destruction."
"Why do you want to destroy us?" Abby asked.
"My master Zeltu wishes it so it shall be done" the Green Ranger replied before rushing towards the rangers.
The Green Ranger's speed proved to be too difficult for the rangers to handle as he easily took down Sasha and Marcus with one hit. Green Ranger turned his attention from the two rangers on the ground to the three still standing on their feet.
"Shark dagger" he said.
A dagger with a blade that resembled shark tooth appeared in his left hand. The mysterious ranger brought the dagger up and made slash marks with it, then used the dagger to send the attack right at the other three rangers knocking them to the ground. The mysterious ranger was suddenly kicked to the side causing him to stumble backwards. He turned his head to see it was Sasha who had caught him off guard.
"So yellow wants to play?" Green Ranger snarled then brought his dagger up and once again made the slash marks and sent them flying at the Yellow Trident Force Ranger.
Before they could reach their intended target Marcus leaped in front of Sasha taking the attack instead. Marcus fell to his knees before hitting the ground and de-morphed because of the hit. The Green Ranger let out a small dark chuckle before teleporting away leaving the Rangers defeated.
Abby, Corey and Mikayla slowly got to their feet then ran over to Sasha who was checking on an unconscious Marcus.
"We need to get him back to Feroa" Sasha said worriedly.
"She'll be able to help him," Abby added.
"We'll have to us the portal; teleporting might do more harm than good" Corey replied.
Mikayla walked over to the nearest tree then proceeded to tap the tree in a particular order. When she stopped a portal opened up in front of her and the other rangers. Corey and Sasha picked Marcus up from the ground, they put his arms around their shoulders. The five rangers made their way through the portal but the moment the portal closed that's when the Green Ranger stepped out from behind a tree.
"Master Zeltu will be most pleased with this discovery."
(!)
"Feroa…. Feroa, we need your help" Abby shouted as her and the other rangers entered the main room.
Feroa came rushing into the room and stopped when she saw the sight before her.
"What happened?" she asked with concern.
"We were attacked by someone calling himself the Green Trident Ranger" Corey said as he along with Sasha laid Marcus down on a nearby table.
"He took an attack meant for me," Sasha added as she crouched down next to Marcus.
Feroa walked over and stood at the head of the table, she reached her hands out and placed them on the sides of Marcus' head. After that she closed her eyes and then started to chant something in her native language. When Feroa's eyes opened they glowed bright blue.
"The rest of you may go home, the healing process will not be complete until tomorrow" Feroa said without moving.
"They're not going anywhere" came a familiar chilly voice.
The four Trident Rangers spun around to see the Green Ranger standing in the entranceway. The four rangers quickly got ready in case a fight broke out.
"Feroa, you continue to heal Marcus, we'll deal with this poser" Abby said.
The four rangers raised their wrists with their morphers up in front of them.
"TRIDENT FORCE POWER…."
Green Ranger quickly pulled out his shark dagger and made the slash marks in the air before sending them at the rangers. The attack hits them sending them flying backwards. The Green Ranger enters the room, he looks around then stops when he sees Feroa.
"Ah, the Pelagiaian. Master Zeltu told me all about how he destroyed your planet and your entire race," the Green Ranger said before raising his dagger. "He will be pleased when I tell him that I have destroyed his enemy" he said before slashing the air with his dagger again sending the attack at Feroa knowing that she was unable to defend herself but before the attack could hit, Abby fully morphed jumped between the attack and Feroa, using her Trident Shield she deflected the attack sending it right back at Green Ranger which sent him flying backwards towards the entrance of the cave.
Abby and Green Ranger both got to their feet. The evil ranger stepped forward but before he could re-enter a blue energy shield appeared stopping him from re-entering the room.
"You may have escaped me this time rangers, but I promise the next time we meet, it will be your last" Green Ranger said before teleporting away.
Abby and other three rangers regrouped over by Feroa.
"This is insane, there hasn't been an evil Power Ranger since Dino Thunder…. I think, I mean there are more in the history book, but I haven't gotten that far yet" Corey says, showcasing his knowledge of past Power Ranger history.
Abby, Sasha and Mikayla all looked at him with confused looks on their faces.
"How do you know that?" Abby asked.
"Feroa has a whole book on the history of the Power Rangers" Corey replies.
"Nerd" Sasha says with a roll of her eyes.
"Leave him alone Stover" Abby said then looked down at Marcus. "We have to be ready because if we're not then the Green Ranger is right…. It will be our downfall" Abby said.

CeCe Thompson had arrived home one day earlier than she had told her father and brother hoping to surprise them. She was happy to know that when she entered the house that neither of the Thompson men were home at the moment so that way when they did arrive home they would get a big surprise. CeCe entered the hallway and made her way down to her old bedroom. When she stepped inside she saw that everything was the same as when she had left for college.
After placing her bags on her bed, she let out a deep sigh of relief knowing that she didn't have to worry about school for a while. She pulled the hair binder off her wrist then proceeded to put her long dark hair up into a ponytail. Leaving her room, she made her way towards the kitchen when there was a knock on the front door. She walked over and took a look through the peephole but to her surprise there was no one standing on the other side of the door.
"Stupid kids" she muttered as she thought it was some of kids in the apartment playing a prank.
She turned to walk away when there was another knock on the door. CeCe spun around and after grabbing the doorknob she flung the door open.
"Listen here you little…." She started to say only stop when she realized that there was no one standing there. She glanced around but saw nothing, so she stepped back inside the apartment and closed the door but when she turned around she found the Green Ranger standing in her home.
(!)
Corey was making his way up the sidewalk one block from his apartment building only to stop when he saw Rachael standing a few feet away. He would've thought she hadn't seen him but then she started walking towards him. He hadn't moved from his spot. As she walked towards him, he realized how much he missed hanging out with Rachael and Hector. They were his best friends but ever since he had become the Blue Trident Force Ranger they had become very distant form him.
"I'm sorry" was the first thing she said to him, which to be honest caught him off guard. "I had no right to push you away, you wanted to do something noble and the way I reacted to you wanting to do something good was horrible, so I just wanted to say that I'm sorry and hope you'll forgive…"
"Rachael…. Stop" Corey said cutting her off. "I'm not mad," he finished.
"You're not?" she asked confused.
"I mean I was mad at you and Hector, but I realized that being angry about something like that isn't worth it" he replied.
Corey took a breath then went to say some more when Ursulias appeared with a group of Kringlars.
"Cory what are those things?" Rachael asked a bit scared.
"Remember that monster that wants to destroy earth?" he asked.
Rachael nodded her head.
"Well the ugly ones are Kringlars and the even uglier one is Ursulias" Corey said.
"You've had your fun Blue Ranger, now prepare to be destroyed" Ursulias growled.
"You know it's 2019, I would've thought you bad guys would have changed it up… oh well" Corey said before getting into a fighting stance.
"KRINGLARS… ATTACK" Ursulias shouted.
The Kringlars rushed Corey who was trying his best to keep the monsters away from Rachael. He kicked the Kringlar in front of him in the chest sending it flying back into the others. A Kringlar to his right got past him and nearly got to Rachael but Corey grabbed the monster by the arm and yanked it backwards before kicking it back to the others. A Kringlar to his right brought one of its claw hands up then brought it down but Corey caught the monster's wrist then to the Blue Ranger's surprise Rachael was the one who had kicked the Kringlar back.
"What? I know Tae Kwon Do" she said when she saw the look on Corey's face.
The two friends found themselves surrounded by Krinlgars, so they stood back-to-back but then all of a sudden, the Kringlars teleported away. Corey looked around then stopped when saw that Ursulias was still there and he was laughing.
"What's so funny?" Corey asks.
"I was only supposed to distract you long enough for the Green Ranger to complete his mission" Ursulias replied.
"What are you talking about?" Corey asked.
The Green Ranger appeared next to Ursulias, but he wasn't alone, and the moment Corey saw who the other person was his eyes grew wide in shock.
"I bet this isn't the family reunion you were expecting" Ursulias said with glee in his voice.
"Let my sister go" Corey said with anger.
"If you want our sister back then you will come here…" Green Ranger says before tossing something to Corey who caught it. "And you will come alone or else" Green Ranger says before he along with CeCe and Ursualias teleport away.
Corey stood there in shock at what had just transpired, he slowly dropped to his knees but still said nothing. Rachael got down next to him.
"This is all my fault…. I should've saved her but I…." Corey said but he couldn't bring himself to finish.
Rachael turned his head so that he was looking at her.
"You don't get to blame yourself for something you had no control over" she said.
"What am I supposed to do? The last time I faced the Green Ranger, I lost and that was with the other Rangers at my side… I guess you were right Rachael, I'm not cut out to be a Power Ranger," he said.
Rachael shook her head.
"No, I was wrong, I realize that now. I realized that you are becoming a Power Ranger is a once in a lifetime thing and maybe I wasn't destined to be a Ranger, but you were Corey so get off your butt, dust yourself off and go kick Green Ranger's butt" she said sternly.
Corey nodded his head then got back up to his feet.
"Thanks Rachael." he said then took off running.
(!)
Abby and Mikayla made their way through the park. The Red and Pink ranger had been discussing possible ways that Zeltu could've gotten his hands on the Green Trident power.
"Maybe he got it during his assault on Feroa's world? I mean even she said that the green and purple trident powers were lost during the attack" Mikayla said as they walked.
"Makes sense but if Zeltu has the green trident power then for all we know he could also have the purple trident power in his possession….. Great just what we need another evil ranger" Abby added.
As they walked, the two rangers made their way in silence. Abby glanced over at her teammate from the future. There were so many things that she wanted to ask her, but she knew that she shouldn't ask, knowing too much could possibly change the future for the worse.
"You're giving me that look you always give me" Mikayla said catching Abby off guard.
"What look?" Abby asked.
"The look you give people when you want to ask them something but are too afraid to ask because you're afraid you won't like the answer" Mikayla responded.
Abby shook her head.
"Okay, what's on your mind?" Mikayla said with slight smile on her face.
"Okay, I just wanted to know if I…" Abby started to say only to stop. She didn't know if she should ask the question. "You probably know this since you're from the future, but I currently live on streets because I'm homeless and I was…" she started to say.
"You're wondering if you ever find your family?" Mikayla.
"I mean I know my parents died in car crash when I was a baby but I don't even know if I have any other relatives because the social worker who handled me didn't care about finding them he threw me into foster care the fastest they could" Abby replied.
Mikayla stayed silent for a moment, 'I mean that's not really changing the future?' she thought to herself. After thinking about what she could or couldn't say she took a long deep breath then spoke.
"You have an uncle on your mother's side who lives right here in town who, I think, would love to see his niece" Mikayla said finally.
Abby stopped in her tracks. She turned her head to look at Mikayla in shock. She couldn't believe what she had just been told. 'I have an uncle…. And he's here in Hazel Creek?' Abby thought to herself. She started breathing harder at the thought of possibly meeting the only family she has. As she thought about it, another thought came across her mind. 'But what if he wants nothing to do with me?' she stated to get nervous at the thought.
"What if he doesn't want anything to do with me?" Abby asked her.
"Whelp, I guess we'll find out" Mikayla replied with a smile.
Abby looked at her confused then turned to see an older man making his way towards them alarming Abby. She quickly spun to face Mikayla.
"What did you do?" Abby asked in shock.
"You and others have been so nice to me that I wanted to return the favor in some way, and this was the only thing I thought of at the moment" Mikayla.
Abby's hands started shaking as she started to get more nervous, she was scared because for the first time for as long as she could remember things weren't under her control. Suddenly Abby felt a reassuring hand on her shoulder that made her jump slightly before realizing that it was only Mikayla trying to calm her down. Abby took a long deep breath and before she realized it, the man had taken a stop in front of them. The man and Abby stared at each in shock, neither of them knowing what to say to the other.
"Um… hi" they said in unison.
"You look like your mother so much" the man said but didn't move, he didn't what to scare Abby.
He reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet. He quickly pulled out a small photo and held it out so both Abby and Mikayla could see the picture clearly. Abby stepped forward and slowly reached out to hold the picture which the man allowed her to take. Abby didn't say anything. She looked at the man, her uncle, before finally looking over at Mikayla who was smiling at her. A small smile crossed Abby's lips before reaching out and throwing her arms around his waist catching him off guard before he beamed and hugged her back.
(!)
Corey had followed the Green Ranger's directions and they had brought him to the mountains right outside of town. He looked around only to realize that the Green Ranger could be holding his sister anywhere in the mountains.
"CEE…. CEE" He shouted after cupping his hands around his mouth.
A scowl appeared on his face when he didn't get a response that he had hoped for despite knowing that there was a slim chance of getting one. He mumbled under his breath as he pulled out the map that Green Ranger had given him. He looked the map over, but it hadn't told him anything new.
"Stupid map, I just want to find my sister," he muttered in annoyance.
Suddenly the map started to glow, so Corey let go of it and watched as the map floated up then started to fold itself into an arrow before shooting off in a northern direction, so he ran to follow the map.
'Don't worry CeCe, I'm coming' he thought to himself as he ran.
