We arrived at the place where Mick had said the buzz cam had been located at, but we saw do sign of a monster or the others "Are you sure Mick said here" I said touching Brody's arm he looked down at me with a worried expression. "I am sure it was" Brody said then stepped away "Mick are you sure you got the location, right?" Brody said looking around to make sure that we had not overlooked something. "the computer said that he buzz cam had been pinpointed at your location" Mick called over the communicator. Brody and I walked around the park several times to be safe. "Brody, Marie" we heard our names being called from behind us. We turned around to see the others running toward us "Have you been able to find the buzz cam or one of Odius monsters?" Calvin said walking up to us "No we have been all over this park" I said touching Brody's hand. "Something is up guys" Sarah said looking toward us then she got into her defense position I looked to see the problem. Odius had in fact sent another monster to try to get our Ninja Stars. "Awe Rangers finally came out of hiding I see" the Monster said walking toward us "Lets make it this easy hand over your new little Ranger" the monster pointed his finger at me. I looked at Brody wondering why she wants me "I don't think that will be happing" Brody said standing in front of me protecting me "Oh Come on Red Ranger just give me the girl and her Power star, and I won't hurt you" the monster said crossing his arms. I was starting to get scared I hide behind Brody holding on to his shirt and burying my face into his back. "We are not handing her over to you." Brody said then reached around to hold my hand. I took his hand then felt him squeeze it to let me know that it will be ok. "Levi can you protect Marie" Brody turned to look at his brother "I can fight" I said giving Brody a mad look. "I don't want to risk them getting you" Brody said grabbing me by my shoulders "BRODY! I am a Power Ranger let me fight with my team, with my friends" I said looking him dead in the eyes letting him know that I meant business. Brody looked at Levi hoping that his brother would help him convince me not to fight. "Bro I think Marie might be right" Levi said relaxing his body "Come on Brody she can handle a fight, plus you know we all have her back" Levi placed his hand on my shoulder. Brody gave me a worried look "Brody Please" I said touching his cheek "You know I have the ability" I looked him in his eyes again I could see the worry in them but knew that I could defend myself. All of sudden I was knocked to the ground "MARIE" Brody yelled kneeling down touching my face "Brody" I could hardly move "We need to get her to the base" I whole body was hurting I couldn't move "Awe did I hurt the baby Power Ranger" the monster said then raised his hand I felt myself start to lift up in the air "BRODY" I yelled trying to move "Marie" Brody and Levi called grabbing my hands "Brody please don't let go" I cried trying to hold tight to their hands. "Give me the baby ranger" the monster said pulling harder "guys morph we could use some help" Brody said looking at the others. As soon as they morphed they began to attack the monster till they were able to get him to release me. "I will get that Ranger and she will hand over power star to Madame Odius herself" then the monster disappeared. When he disappeared, I fall on the ground unable to move "Marie" Brody said taking me in his arms "please be okay" Brody said pulling me close to him. "We need to get her some help." Sarah said binding down touching my hand. "Where do we take her? If we take her to the hospital we can't say she was attacked by a monster, cause then we will need to tell them the truth" Haley said then started to cry "Let's get her to Mick" Brody said brushing some stray hairs out of my eyes. "Mick, we need your help" Brody said looking at me his eyes never left me. "What's wrong?" Mick's voice came from Brody's communicator "Mick, Marie was attack by the monster he shot her with some kind of beam and it did something to her" Brody said touching my cheek. "Get her here so I can check her over. I might need to call in some help" I closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again I was laying down on a cot "where am I? Brody" I tried to sit up "no lay back down" Brody said stopping me "Brody what happen?" I said looking at him "you were attacked by Odius's monsters and he managed to zap a great deal of your energy, which nearly killed you" I laid back down on the cot then looked up at him "Why does she want me? I know I was attacked by one of Odius's monsters, but why does it want me & not my power star?" I said about to cry. "We have not figure it out. Mick has gotten in contact with Dr. Oliver and he is looking into it." Brody sat down on the bed then took my hand kissing it then smiling at me. I couldn't help smiling back at him. I couldn't help thinking how much I cared for this one man. How much he has changed my life. Then suddenly I felt sick to my stomach "oh god" I leaned over the cot throwing up "Red bot I need a bucket" Brody called then pulled my hair back. "hmmm I think I need to go home" I said laying back on to the bed "Here you go Brody" Red Bot said walking into the room with a small bucket "Oh Dear I am sorry Brody" Red bot said noticing the mess on the floor "It's okay Red Bot" Brody said seeing that I was about to throw up again.
Mick wanted to keep me at the base till I was able to walk on my own, but Brody wanted to get me home before Papa started to worry "Brody she might need to stay here so that I am able to keep an eye on her." Mick said giving him a worried look. "She is still very weak. How would you explain it to her father without revealing yourself?" I tried my best to look up at Mick, but I was unable to hold it up for long. Brody looked down at me giving me a worried look. "Marie I am going to call your dad and asked if you can stay with me tonight." Brody said touching my cheek then kissed my head "maybe I should ask him" I said touching his hand. I watched as Mick and Brody looked at each other then tried to give me little smile. "She might be right Brody." Mick said then walked over to check on somethings. "Come on let's go outside so that you can call him" Brody helped me through the tunnel. When we reached the outside, it helped me feel better to get some fresh air. I tried to walk on my own but ended up falling to the ground "Love maybe you should sit down" Brody said helping me back up. I gave him a smile then allowed him to help over to where I could sit down. I called Papa who picked up on the second ring "Hello sweetie" Papa said answering the phone "Papa Brody and I have a project due tomorrow. Would it be all right if I stay the night with Brody?" I tried my best to sound normal, but it was hard for me to do it. "It's okay I need to be at the base very early in the morning" I told him that I would see him tomorrow afternoon. "He said okay" I said smiling at Brody "Let me call my dad to make sure it is okay with him" Brody said reaching for my phone. I watched as he spoke to his dad explaining what had happened. When he was done, he walked over and sat down beside me then kissed me "Dad said it was ok for you to stay over." Brody said smiling at me then ran his hand down my cheek then lifted my chin up. "Maybe if you have a good nights rest you will get your energy back" he smiled at me then stood up. "Come on let's get home" he helped me stand up. As we walked back to the entrance, he helped me back down then helped me to the car. I slipped into the backseat then laydown because I felt really dizzy "Marie are you sure your okay?" Brody said touching my cheek lightly "I don't know" I said trying to look at him but ended up laying my head against the seat. "Brody why don't I drive you can sit in the back with Marie" Levi said touching his shoulder. Brody gave Levi a little smile then slipped in beside me. Brody kissed my forehead then wrapped his arm around me pulling me closer to him. I simply closed my eyes falling asleep in Brody's arms.
When I woke up the next morning, I felt a little bit better I was able to hold my heard with out getting very dizzy. I sat up and noticed that Brody was laying next to me holding me in his arms. I smiled at him then kissed his fore head then cuddle up to him "Your awake" I heard a voice say I looked up to see someone standing in the door way. "I am sorry" he said then walked over sitting on the bed "I am Levi and Brody's dad Dan Romero" I gave him a smile "Nice to finally meet your Mr. Romero" I said giving him a smile. "Nice to meet you too" he smiled back at me. We talked for a while till Levi walked into the room. "Morning Dad" Levi said then noticed that I was awake "How are you feeling today Marie?" I smiled at him then tried to sit up a little more, which in turned work Brody up "What's going on? Marie are you okay?" Brody said shooting up taking my hand "I am good. Actually, I am hungry When is breakfast?" I said looking at them "Well I can bring you some toast if you would like." Mr. Romero said standing up. "Actually, if it is okay, I would like to get up and try to move around a bit" I tried to move, but Brody stopped me. "Marie maybe you should take it easy. I will bring you some food and we can watch movies and rest" Brody helped me lay back down on the bed then followed his dad out of the room. I looked over at Levi who was standing by the door "Okay I know that monster did something to zap my energy, but why is Brody treating me like I am dying?" I watched as Levi walked over to the bed sitting down beside me. "He is worried about you, and so are we all" Levi touched my hand then took it in his. Levi looked at me for awhile then smiled "Marie Odius new monster really did a number on you. We fought like crazy to keep him from taking you." I laid back onto the pillow then pulled my knees to my chest. "Hey you okay?" Brody said walking in to the room with a tray. "I don't understand why all that monster wanted was my power star and me? Why?" I said looking up at Brody "That is what we are still trying to figure out. I mean yes there are now seven Ninja star, but why just ask for one and not all." Brody handed me the tray which I started to eat right away. I really didn't waste any time in eating the food on the plate. When I was done eating, I begged for Brody and Levi to take me home so that I could check on Papa and get a change of clothes. After about an hour they finally broke down and took me home.
When we arrived home, Papa met us in the drive way he looked like he had been up all night. "Hello, their sweetheart" Papa said hugging me "Hmm Hi Papa you okay?" I said giving him a hug back. "We need to talk, and if you don't mine boys, I need to talk to her in private." Papa said looking up at Brody and Levi "Alright" Brody said then turned to me "Love you call me when you are done ok" Brody kissed me then followed Levi out the door. I leaned against the door watching him walk out the door. "Marie will you please come in here" Papa called from the kitchen. I walked in the kitchen then sat down at the table "What's up Papa?" I said folding my hands "Well sweetie" Papa said then placed his head into his hands "Papa what is it? Please I can handle it please just tell me. "I have been offered a transfer back home" Papa looked at me with a serious look in his eyes "What? Transfer back home?" I said giving him a questioning look "Yes they offered to pay for out moving expenses and everything." I started to cry I was so hurt this was home Summer cove had become my home and I couldn't see myself leaving here. "Marie sweetie I know that I promised you that we would remain here till you graduate, but this will allow us to be closer to your Momma and Tommy will be closer too" Papa said walking over to me "Papa I want to stay here please" I said allowing a tear to fall down my cheek. "I want to be closer to Momma and Uncle Oliver, but I have friends here and I have something that I am apart of here too." I looked him in his eyes unable to stop crying. "Marie, I think it would be better for us to move back home." Papa said then walked out of the room. I started to cry laying my head on the table. I didn't want to leave Summer Cove, I didn't want to leave Brody. I ran to my room locked the door behind me throwing myself on the bed crying.
The next couple of days I didn't go to school I remained at home in my room crying. I refused to acknowledge my father or the others. I waited till Papa went to the base before I would leave my room. When I noticed him leave the house, I would go down to the kitchen to get food and any other items I would need to get me through the day. When ever my phone would ring, I would not answer it I just let it ring. I knew everyone was worried about me, but I didn't want to talk to anyone because I didn't want them to know about the move until it was time. I had my power star in its small bag in my drawer where I knew it was safe. I heard the alerts come over the communicator, but like my phone I didn't answer them. After about a week there was a knock on the front door while Papa was at work. I looked out to see who it was and noticed it was Levi "Marie I know you are home. Please open up everyone is worried about you." I leaned against the door listening to him talk. "You won't answer our phone calls. You won't answer your communicator" I started to walk back up stairs when I heard the front door open "Marie you Dad came to the school and told us what was going on." I looked back to see Levi standing at the bottom of the stairs. "Why are you here Levi?" I said sitting on the top step "because your dad knew that out of the others, I was the one that you open up too. Even Brody knew that you would talk to me over him." Levi made his way up the stairs then sat down beside me. We sat there for the longest time talking about what had happen. "I want to stay here with you guys. I do not want to move again." I said starting to cry again. Levi pulled me into his arms hugging me "It will be okay I promise. No matter the distance everything will work out. Plus, your dad still has time to think about accepting the new position." After awhile Levi managed to get me to come outside with him to get some fresh air. While we were sitting on the porch Papa came home. "Hello Sir" Levi said standing up when Papa came up to us "I knew you could get her out of her room. Where is Brody?" Papa said laying his uniform jacket on the banister "He had something to take care of Sir." Levi said smiling then looked over at me. "If you would please go take a shower and change clothes because I was asked to bring you with me." I gave him a weird look trying to figure out what was going on "You better go honey" Papa said picking his jacket up then walking toward the door. I just smiled then walked toward my room, but when I got to the steps, I felt weak "Papa, Levi" I called out before I fall onto the floor. Everything went black.
When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed with tubes and wires attached to me. I looked down to see Brody asleep holding my hand. "your awake" I heard a voice say when I looked over, I saw Papa sitting there holding my other hand "oh thank goodness your alive" Papa said kissing my hand then he stood up to kiss my forehead. "I was so worried that I have lost you" I gave Papa a smile then ran my hands throw Brody's hair which woke him up. "Marie thank goodness" Brody said standing up hugging me then kissed me softly. "I will go let the others that you are awake. It will give you two a chance to talk" Papa said standing up then made his way to the door. "I will be right back" he said then walked out the door. I looked over at Brody who sat up then leaned back in his chair. "What happened?" I said looking at Brody, which he gave me a smile leaning forward "Well the Monster did some damage when he attacked you. We should have brought you to the hospital when you blacked out the first time. It seemed like the monster broke a couple of rips and well gave you a minor concussion. We had to come up with one heck of a story to tell the doctors and your dad though." Brody let out a small laugh on that then his face went serious. "It seems like we had something we didn't know about Marie." I really didn't understand what he was talking about "Brody explain please" I said trying to sit up. "Marie the doctor said that you were 5 weeks pregnant. Why didn't you tell me about the baby?" He said giving me an upset look "What? I didn't know that I was pregnant." I said laying back down then placed my hands on my stomach. Then looked over at Brody who had tears streaming down his face. "What's wrong?" I said leaning to touch his face "I am just upset and mad. I almost lost you because of the damage that Monster did to you. He caused us to lose our child." I started to cry touching my stomach knowing that I no longer had that small baby inside me. "Marie" Brody said holding me close I wrapped my arms around him crying "It's okay I promise".
The Doctors wanted to keep me in the hospital for a couple of more days after I woke up. They wanted to make sure that there was nothing else wrong, which after a couple of days I got a clean bill of health and was released to come home. When we arrived home, Brody helped me get to my room and Papa brought in my things. Papa allowed Brody to stay with us for a couple of days because he had meetings at the base, and he didn't want me to be alone for a moment. The rest of my friends would stop by on their way to school in the morning and then came by afterschool. Haley and Preston would bring me my assignments from each class, and even helped me compete some of the class work. They even volunteered to take the finished work to the teachers for me. We were lucky that Odius decided to stay on the downlow, but we did get a couple of alarms a couple of times, but it was nothing that they could not handle without me. Mick even suggested that I remained on the sidelines till I was ready to come back at full strength. On the times that Brody was needed either I would go to the base to be with Mick or Redbot would come stay with me at home. At the end of a couple of weeks I felt strong enough to return to school. Brody would carry my books to each class for me. In the classes that we were not in together he would carry them in then go to his class, but if one of the others were in the class with me he would get them to carry them for me. When lunchtime rolled around, I made my way to the table to wait on everyone. "Here you go" Brody said sitting a sandwich in front of me. "Thank you it looks good" I said then started to eat the sandwich. We finished up our lunch then Brody took my hand "Lets go outside." He said then gave me a sweet smile "Alright" I said following him holding on to his hand. He led me to a picnic that was located far from the building. When we got to the table, he turned around the kissed me deeply pulling me closer to him his hands running down my back. I moved my hands around his neck melting into his kiss. When the kiss ended it left me breathless "I love you" Brody said pushing back some hairs away from my face "I love you too" I said then kissed him he pushed me against the table then picked me up sitting me on the table. The kiss ended but he started to suck on my neck which was turning me on in the worse way. "Marie, I want you" Brody said kissing down my neck "Brody I want you too, but we can't do this here" I said pushing his up till his eyes were looking into mine. I couldn't resist I pulled him back to me kissing him passionately pulling his shirt off then dropping it to the ground allowing him to lay me back on to the table "Thought you said we couldn't do it here" he said with a laugh "Screw it as long as we are not caught right" I said as his lips returned to mine. He unbutton my shirt opening it the started to suck on my breast "Oh god Brody" I dug my finger nails into his back as he moved down my stomach. "Guys!" Preston said running up to us "Geez Preston" I said trying to cover up "Mick needs us at base" Preston said standing there waiting on us "hm Pres can you please turn around for a moment" he nodded then turned around as I sat up buttoning my top. "We can finish this when we get home" Brody said then kissed me softly holding my face in his hands. We stood there looking in each other's eyes then he moved his hand to my stomach leaning his head onto mine "Marie Odius will pay for what her monster did." I started to cry, but he whipped the tears away giving me a smile. I returned his smile then watched as he slipped his shirt back on. "Come on we need to get there quick" Preston said walking a head of us. As we walked toward the base, I couldn't help but place my hand on my stomach thinking about my little baby that was in my belly. "Marie are you okay?" Brody said turning around to look at me "I was pregnant Brody. I was pregnant" I said starting to cry. He wrapped his arms around me pulling me close to me holding me tight. We stood there for awhile Brody holding me close allowing me to cry. "I can not imagine how much you are hurting. I wish I could take the pain away" He said then kissed my forehead. "Brody, we got a problem." Calvin's voice came over the communicator. "On our way" Brody said then took my hand.
When we got to the base I decided to remain behind unless they needed me. I could tell that Brody wanted to remain behind with me, and I could tell that he was worried about me. "Brody you need to go with them. I will be okay I have Mick and Redbot here with me" I said giving him a smile. "Marie are you sure?" he looked at me with a worried expression. "Yes, they need you, and if you guys need me, I will come." I kissed him softly. He smiled at me then I watched as he ran after the others. "Marie are you really okay or just telling Brody, so he would stop worrying" Mick said sitting next to me. I really couldn't hide it from Mick. I told him everything. When I was done, he pulled me to him giving me a hug "Marie everything will okay. I know the little one was not plan, but sometimes the smallest thing will cause a great change in our life." Mick said then stood up. "Why don't you lay down for a moment I am sure Brody and the others will be back soon." I smiled at him then curled up on the cot. I laid there thinking for a while about things then it hit me "Mick" I called sitting up "What is it?" Mick said running up to me "The monster that attack me I remember it saying, 'Give me the baby ranger and the power star' I think it could see the baby." I said standing up placing my hands on his shoulder. "I thought that he was talking about me because I am a new ranger, but what if he was talking about the baby." I needed to get to Brody and the others I stood up walked toward the tunnel "Marie where you are going?" Mick said following me "I need to tell Brody what I figured out" I said looking back at him. He nodded his head then followed me through the tunnel. "Here use this Power Star" Mick handed me a power star "I have a power star" I said smiling at him trying to give it back to him, but he wouldn't take it. "You will need it. Odius somehow knew that you were pregnant, and she might still think you are." Mick said giving me a little smile. I looked at him in the eyes then got understood what he meant. I nodded my head then morphed.
When I arrived at the park, I ran right to Brody who was on the ground. "Marie what are you doing here" Brody said looking at me "I figured out what he meant by baby ranger" I said giving him a smile. Brody just gave me a confused look all I did was place my hand on my stomach then he smiled understanding what I was telling him. "I see that the new ranger has arrived." The monsters said looking at me "Yes I am" I said taking my fighting stance "You handing over your power star? Or will I have taken it" I looked over at him then I ran right for him with my weapon drawn, but the monster sent a blast right toward me sending me flying back landing on my back. "I told you little ranger either you give me your Power star, or I can take it from you, along with the baby ranger" he said then laughing. "You will not touch my baby" then I looked over at Brody "You will not touch our baby" Brody said standing up then he helped me back to my feet. "love you don't need to fight him think about our child" then he wrapped his arms around me. I started to cry placing my hands on my stomach wishing that my baby was still there. "Brody, he doesn't know that he caused me to lose the baby" I whispered to him "please let me help you guys defeat this monster" I knew that I couldn't see his face, but I knew he understood what I was telling him.
