Chapter 6: Lessons on Confidence and Trust
The teens are at the Unity Castle the next afternoon. They gather in the training room as they are in normal gym clothes. Jason has his martial arts uniform on as Avalon is watching from the back with Harmonia.
Jason looks at them. "Two of the most important things that every ranger and ranger team has are confidence and trust. How many of you besides Stella has some form of martial arts training"? Jason asks the teens.
Dove raises her hand. Jason looks at Dove as the others are curious about it. "I taken up Judo because I refused to have a body guard". Dove said to them in explanation. Jason nods as he looks at the pink ranger. "Can you give us a demonstration"? Jason asks Dove. Dove nods to Jason as she went up.
As Dove demonstrates her Judo moves, the others are really impressed. Eliza looks at them as she is feeling down. 'Dove is really good. Who am I kidding, she is probably the best at it'. Eliza thought to herself.
Jason looks at them. "While as rangers, you will be improving on your martial arts skills. It does not matter if you have a lot of skill or little to no skill. Plus today, you will be learning about your ranger heritage. I brought a good friend of mine to explain it to you". Jason said to them.
The teens are curious on who Jason means. "Who is he in the ranger world"? Fry asks Jason. Jason is about to answer him when a male voice answers me. "My name is Dr. Tommy Oliver, and I have been Power Ranger in various colors". Tommy said to them. He has a black polo shirt with tan colored pants and shoes.
Avalon looks at Tommy. "It is an honor to meet another Power Ranger of Earth". Avalon said to Tommy as she bows to him. Tommy nods as he stands next to Jason.
Justin looks at Tommy. "My name is Justin, and I am the blue ranger. Just one question though, what ranger colors did you have"? Justin asks Tommy.
Tommy looks at Justin. "I was the first green ranger, then I was white ranger, red ranger, and then black ranger". Tommy said to them. Eliza looks at Tommy. "M-my n-name is- Eli-za. I a-am the gr-green rang-er". Eliza stutters out to Tommy.
Tommy went towards the young freshman. "It's nice to meet a fellow green ranger like you, Eliza". Tommy said to Eliza as she nods to him.
As Dove, Fry, and Mike introduces himself to Tommy, Justin looks at Stella. "Does he know your name Stella"? Justin asks Stella. Stella looks at Justin. "I have known him for a long time, Justin". Stella said to Justin. Justin is confused on what Stella mean.
Stella went up to Tommy. "Hey Tommy", Stellla said to Tommy. Tommy looks at Stella. "Hey sunshine, I heard that you are leading the team". Tommy said to Stella. Stella nods to Tommy. "Yes I am", Stella said to Tommy.
Fry crosses his arms as he is curious about it. "How do you two know each other"? Fry asks them. Stella looks at Fry. "Tommy and my dad are good friends from high school, and Tommy is my god father". Stella said to them. The teens are shocked by it as Eliza is feeling low about herself.
Tommy sets up a video screen as he puts in a cd in the player. "This video will explain to you about your ranger heritage". Tommy said to them as he presses play. As the teens watched it, Eliza is in deep thought about things. 'I can pretty much declare that Dr. Oliver is the best ranger of all. I am wearing his first color, Mike is wearing his second color, and Stella is wearing his third color. How am I suppose to compete on being the best ranger'? Eliza asks herself.
After the video ends, the teens minus Eliza asks Tommy a lot of question. Stella notice the quiet look on Eliza's face. "Hey are you ok, Eliza"? Stella asks Eliza. Eliza looks at Stella. "I am fine, Stella". Eliza said to them.
Avalon looks at the time and notices that the alarm has not gone off. "It is getting late, rangers. You should head home". Avalon said to them. The teens nod to Avalon as they left the castle except Tommy and Jason. Avalon and Harmonia also left the room.
Tommy looks at Jason. "You have an interesting group of rangers to mentor, and one of them is your daughter". Tommy said to Jason. Jason nods to Tommy. "I know, and I thought I would have a red ranger like you had to mentor". Jason said to Tommy
Tommy smirks at Jason as he knows who he is talking about. "Yeah well you did not call Stella a rookie like you did on the moon mission years ago". Tommy said to Jason. Jason remembers the mission. "She is the exception, Tommy". Jason said to Tommy.
Tommy nods to Jason. "Jason, make sure you mentor them well like I did, especially on Eliza. She will need to come a long way". Tommy said to Jason. Jason nods in agreement. "Yeah she is the youngest on the team. If I have to guess, she does not have a lot of confidence in herself". Jason said to Tommy.
Tommy nods to Jason as they left the castle. "Take care of the team", Tommy said Jason. Jason nods as they went home.
That night at the Jameson household, Eliza is working on her homework. She sighs as math homework is getting the best of her. 'Great that's another thing I am not the best at'. Eliza though to herself as she puts her pencil down.
Her cousin walks by as she notices the bummed look on Eliza's face. She has light brown wavy hair and green eyes. "Hey Eliza, math homework getting you down". The cousin said to Eliza.
Eliza sees her cousin as she has a pink jacket with white and pink shorts and tennis shoes on. "Yeah Vera, you know me so well". Eliza said to her cousin named Vera. Eliza's older brother, sister, and her parents forgets about her, but Vera is the only one that cares about her and know her.
Vera looks at Eliza as she knows this. "What about the other teens that you have been hanging out with very recently, Eliza? You look like a tight group with them". Vera said to Eliza.
Eliza looks at Vera as she is unsure. "I am not sure about that Vera. Once they find out about my family situation, they probably look at me like a puppy that has been left out in the rain for too long and desperate for attention". Eliza said to Vera.
Vera sighs as something really got her down. "Eliza, you just need trust yourself and the others. They should get to know the real you like I have". Vera said to Eliza.
Eliza nods as she has a faint smile on her face. "It sounds like something Coach Scott would say". Eliza said to Vera. Vera nods to Eliza as she tutors Eliza in math.
Back at the unknown location, Queen Victoria walks in the lab where Dr. Quintox is working. "I take it that the weapon for our evil black ranger is complete". Queen Omitrix said to Dr. Quintox.
Dr. Quintox looks at Queen Omitrix as he unveiled a sword. It is mostly black with a crimson red handle. The blade is double edged and sharp. "It is already complete, my evil queen. Plus I am currently working on a special machine that will be used to get the location of the hidden crystals. It is not yet operational, my queen". Dr. Quintox said to Queen Omitrix.
Queen Omitrix is pleased by the completeness of the sword and intrigued by a special machine. "What will this machine do"? Queen Omitrix asks Dr. Quintox.
Dr. Quintox looks at Queen Omitrix. "It will scan the red ranger's eyes to get the locations of the hidden Unity Crystals. Plus the machine will have the red ranger suffer as well". Dr. Quintox said to Queen Omitrix.
Queen Omitrix has a pleased look on her face. "Excellent, I expect progress on this machine". Queen Omitrix said to Dr. Quintox. Dr. Quintox nods as Princess Diamanda walks in the lab. "Mother", Princess Diamanda said to Queen Omitrix.
Queen Omitrix sees Princess Diamanda. "What is it,darling"? Queen Omitrix asks Princess Diamanda. Princess Diamanda looks at her mother. "Can I bring the chosen human? She trusts me now". Princess Diamanda said to Queen Omitrix.
Queen Omitrix nods to Princess Diamanda. "Of course darling", Queen Omitrix said to Princess Diamanda. Princess Diamanda nods to Queen Omitrix as she leaves the dark castle.
The next day at school, Eliza is heading towards her class when a guy looks at her. "So sweet thing, do you want to do things together". A guy said to Eliza. Eliza looks at the guy as she is really uncomfortable about it.
Vera sees the guy hitting on Eliza. "Hey step off you perv", Vera said to the guy as she is really mad. The guy gets scared as Stella see what happened. Eliza sighs in relief. "Thanks Vera", Eliza said to Vera. Vera nods to Eliza. "No problem, David and Bella may not care and forget about you, but I do care about you". Vera said to Eliza.
Eliza nods to Vera. "Yeah I know". Eliza said to Vera as she walk towards class. Stella went towards Vera. "You know Eliza". Stella said to Vera.
Vera looks at Stella. "Yeah, she is my cousin. You have been hanging out with her some lately, and you must be Stella". Vera said to Stella. Stella nods to Vera. "Yeah nice to meet you", Stella said to Vera. Vera looks at Stella. " My name is Vera. I am glad that someone other than me does care about her. Just continue being a good friend to her". Vera said to Stella as she walks away.
Stella has a perplexed look on her face as she is curious about it. 'I wonder why she wants me to continue being a good friend to her'. Stella thought to herself.
After school, Eliza is walking in the woods. She enjoys the sounds of the various animals. Things is going well until a monster shows up with Slimcos. The monster is a creepy twisted clown/joker. It can make copies of itself.
The twisted clown/joker looks at Eliza. "I was told that there is more of you Power Rangers, but this will do for now". The twisted clown/joker said to Eliza.
Eliza grits her teeth as she grabs her mophor. "Guys I need your help". Eliza said on her communicator. "Just hang tight Eliza, we are on the way". Stella said to Eliza. Eliza nods as she is holding her morphor. 'I guess I have to handle this alone until they get here'. Eliza thought to herself. "Unite Force Unite the Power", Eliza said as she morphs into her ranger form.
The twisted clown/joker looks at Eliza in her ranger form. "Time to multiply", the twisted clown/joker said as it makes six copies of it. As the fight begins, Eliza uses her weapon on them. "Are you sure you are getting the right one"? The twisted clowns/jokers asks Eliza as all them uses it's magical tricks to get to her.
Eliza uses her uniramg as she takes it apart and throws at them. The twisted monster dodges it. "Miss us but it gets to you". The monster said to Eliza. Eliza gets hit by her own weapon as she falls to the ground.
The others arrive in ranger form as they surround her. "Eliza, are you ok"? Dove asks Eliza. The twisted clown/joker looks at them. "You call her your team mate. She is the weak of the weakest ranger. She will never become the best ranger to defeat me. Later rangers". The twisted clown/joker said to them as it disappears.
Eliza sighs as the monster is right as she is really down. Fry looks at Eliza. "Come on Eliza, don't listen to what that monster said to you". Fry said to Eliza. Eliza looks at Fry. "I-it is re-ally h-hard n-not t-to". Eliza said to Fry as she stutters to him. The others are curious about it as Stella helps her up. "Maybe Avalon has a clue on how to defeat this creep". Dove said to them.
The rangers teleport to Unity Castle as Avalon, Jason, and Harmonia sees the rangers arriving at the castle. Avalon notices the sad and bummed look on Eliza's face. "What happened out there"? Jason asks them.
Eliza looks at them. "It's all my fault. That twisted monster can multiply and make copies of himself". Eliza said as she is on very little confidence. "I even got hit by own weapon. I am not the best ranger on the team". Eliza said to them.
They look at Eliza as they realize that she has no self confidence in herself at all. Avalon looks at them. "Jason, if I may, Eliza come with me please". Avalon said to Eliza. Eliza nods to Avalon. "O-ok", Eliza said to Avalon. Jason nods to Avalon as the other teens are curious on what Avalon is up to.
Avalon takes Eliza to the green house room. It has various plants and flowers. "Av-Avalon, w-why d-did y-you br-bring me in here"? Eliza asks Avalon. Avalon looks at Eliza. "Look around you in the green house, these plants took some water, sunlight, and most importantly time to grow". Avalon said to Eliza.
Eliza nods to Avalon as she knows this. "Ok", Eliza said to Avalon. They went to a table. It has an empty flower pot, potting soil, a seed, and a watering can. "Y-you w-want m-me to p-plant some-thing". Eliza said to Avalon.
Avalon looks at Eliza. "Yes, this flower I want you to grow always bloomed on my home world. It is called Confidence Rose. In humans, confidence needs time and nurture to grow. In time, it will bloom like a flower". Avalon said to Eliza.
Eliza nods to Avalon as she puts some potting soil in the flower pot. "I see", Eliza said to Avalon. Avalon nods to them. "You have everything you need to get started with your confidence. You just need to put it together. Plus you need to trust in the amount the confidence you have. No one can take that away from you except you". Avalon said to Eliza.
Eliza nods to Avalon as she puts the seed in the flower pot. She puts some water on the so. "I understand now, but how do I defeat that twisted monster. It can make copies of itself". Eliza said to Avalon.
Avalon looks at Eliza. "You need to figure out the real one. Everyone is one of a kind, and there is something about the real one that is an easy give away". Avalon said to Eliza.
Eliza nods as she realizes on what needs to be done. "I understand Avalon". Eliza said to Avalon. The other rangers and Jason walk in the green house. "Everything ok"? Jason asks them.
Eliza has a small smile on her face. "Yeah, Avalon explained it to me". Eliza said to them. Jason nods to Avalon as he looks at Eliza. Then the alarm goes off, they return to the command room. The rangers see the twisted clown/joker monster returning. "Looks like our creepy clown is back". Stella said to them.
Eliza has a new found determined look on her face. "Let's put this joker away". Eliza said to them. The others nod in agreement as they grab their morphors out. "Unity Force Unite the Power", the six teens said in unison as they morph
The teens arrive in the woods as they come face to face with the twisted clown/joker monster again as Slimcos are there as well. As the rangers got through the Slimcos, the twisted clown/joker monster uses his creepy magic to send the teens back. "I am ready for you green ranger. Ready to lose your confidence again". The monster said to Eliza.
The monster made the six copies of itself again. The rangers are taken back by this again. "Which one is the real one"? Mike asks them. "They all look the same to me". Justin said to them. The other rangers nod in agreement as they are getting wiped by it.
Eliza glares at the monster. "There is a thing about confidence. It takes time and nurture to grow like a flower. The only person that can break it is me". Eliza said to the monster. The rangers see Eliza's uniramg glow a bright green. Stella notices Eliza spliting her weapon in two as she stands there listening where the real one might be.
Fry looks at Eliza as he is curious on what she is doing. "Eliza, what are you doing"? Fry asks Eliza. Just as the real one strikes,"Nature wave blast", Eliza said as she throws her two uniramgs.
The twisted clown/joker monster gets hit by Eliza's attack. "I guess the joke is on me". The monster said as it is destroyed, and it's copies are gone as well. The rangers look at Eliza. "Way to go Eliza", Dove said to Eliza. "I knew you can do it". Mike said to Eliza. "Way to believe in your self". Justin said to Eliza. Fry nods in agreement. Stella smiles as the young green ranger is making strides in improvement.
Eliza looks at them. "Thanks guys, this is how we do it, Unity style". Eliza said to them. The rangers nod in agreement as they teleport to the Unity Castle.
Back at the Unity Castle, Avalon, Jason, and Harmonia sees the teens in civilian form. "Well done rangers especially you Eliza", Jason said to them. Eliza nods to Jason. "Thanks", Eliza said to them.
Avalon looks at Eliza. "Eliza come with me", Avalon said to Eliza. Eliza nods to Avalon as they went to the green house. Eliza notices the flower that she planted in the flower pot. There is some seedling sprouting out. "I planted a seed just a while ago". Eliza said to Avalon.
Avalon nods to Eliza. "Yes, as your confidence grows the flower also grows as well". Avalon said to Eliza. Eliza nods to Avalon. "I guess it will take awhile for it to fully bloom". Eliza said to Avalon. Avalon nods to Eliza. "It will get there, Eliza. You keep on having confidence in yourself". Avalon said to Eliza. Eliza nods as she looks at the plant that she is working on.
Meanwhile
Diamanda is waiting at the park. 'I told her to meet me here'. Diamanda thought to herself. It is not long that Espella arrives. "Sorry I am late, Diamanda. Cheerleading practice ran so long". Espella said to Diamanda.
Diamanda nods to Espella. "It's ok Espella, come on we better get going". Diamanda said to Espella. Espella nods as they teleport to a location on the other side of Unity Lakes.
End chapter
