Chapter 25: The Qualities Within and The Return of Zeomaxis
At the Dark Castle, Tir is walking down a hallway as he notices a punishing cell and a being in there. 'I wonder who is in there'. Tir thought to himself as he notice the setting on the force field lock just outside of the door. He walk towards the throne room.
In the throne room, Queen Omitrix is sitting on her throne. 'A ranger from a different team and two mysterious rangers, it's like rangers are popping every where'. Queen Omitrix thought to herself.
Tir walks in the throne room. "My Queen, I am curious on who is in that cell, the one with the force field lock". Tir said to Queen Omitrix. Queen Omitrix looks at Tir. "His name is Zeomaxis. He has failed me numerous occasions, and failed to learn his true place". Queen Omitrix said to Tir.
Tir nods as he is intrigued by him. "Perhaps he can do something to redeem himself to you and Princess Diamanda". Tir said to Queen Omitrix. Queen Omitrix looks at Tir. "What do you have in mind"? Queen Omitrix asks Tir.
Tir looks at Queen Omitrix. "You would like to know who was the unexpected ranger that came to assist with the rangers. Instead of having him in a cell rotting away, he could be out there snooping around to find the unexpected ranger". Tir said to Queen Omitrix.
Queen Omitrix looks at Tir as he brings an excellent point. "Your right, Tir, but he will be your responsibility". Queen Omitrix said to Tir. The two walk out from the throne room to Zeomaxis cell.
As the two got to Zeomaxis cell, Queen Omitrix types in the code and turns the intensity of the force field in the cell completely off. Queen Omitrix opens the cell door as the two walk in the cell.
Zeomaxis notices that the force field is turned off as he can move again. He notices Queen Omitrix and Tir coming towards him. "My Queen, I didn't expect you to release me". Zeomaxis said to Queen Omitrix.
Queen Omitrix looks at Zeomaxis as she glares at him. "You are being released on some conditions. You will have a couple of missions. Tir will explain the missions to you". Queen Omitrix said to Zeomaxis.
Zeomaxis looks at Tir as he nods to him. "I have learned my lessons my Queen". Zeomaxis said to Queen Omitrix as they left the punishing cell.
Back in the throne room, Queen Omitrix, Tir, and Zeomaxis in the room as Kayleigh, Darcel, and Diamanda walk in the throne room as well. "Mother why is that blundering idiot out from his punishing cell"? Diamanda ask Queen Omitrix.
Queen Omitrix looks at Diamanda as she sees that Diamanda is furious. "Zeomaxis is doing a couple of missions with Tir. Zeomaxis will snoop around in various human cities to find that different yellow ranger that dared to help the rangers". Queen Omitrix said to Diamanda.
Diamanda rolls her eyes as she does not trust Tir and or Zeomaxis. "Fine mother and you, If he even fails on these two so called missions, I want him back in that cell on the force field set on full blast". Diamanda said to them as she walks out on them as Kayleigh and Darcel followed her.
Tir and Zeomaxis look at each other as they come up with a plan.
At the Unity Castle, the teens are training in the sparring room as Jason is keeping a close watch on them, especially on Stella. Avalon and Harmonia walk in the room. "It is getting close to 6:00 pm, and there are no sign of trouble. You all should head home". Harmonia said to them. The teens nod as they left the castle.
Jason looks at Avalon as he hands the special morphor back to her. "Thanks Jason, I think it's time for the rangers to learn more about their Unity Crystal and unlocking their special quality". Avalon said to Jason.
Jason nods as he agrees. "I have to agree with you, Avalon. They have grown a lot and David is catching up with to them. Plus what do they have to do to unlock it"? Jason asks Avalon.
Avalon looks at Jason as she shows him a book. "According to an Uniatlantican legend, the special quality will unlock when someone conquers a fear and or overcoming a great obstacle. Once it gets unlocked, they will receive an increase of energy and power". Avalon said to Jason.
Jason nods to Avalon as he learns about it. "I take it that this is something they must accomplish on their own". Jason said to Avalon. Avalon nods to Jason. "That's correct Jason", Avalon said to Jason. Jason nods as he is getting concerned about Stella.
Harmonia notices the concern look on Jason's face. "Is everything alright, Jason"? Harmonia asks Jason. Jason looks at Harmonia. "It's Stella, I know she is freed, physically healed, and purified from that Black Diamond Cell. It's just she has not really talked to me about what happened when she was at the dark castle. When ever I bring it up, she always changes the subject". Jason said to them.
Avalon and Harmonia look at each other as it may present a problem. "Perhaps Courage of the Sun needs some time to come to terms about what happened at that horrible place". Harmonia said to Jason.
Jason nods to Harmonia as she is probably right. Jason also left the castle for his home.
Avalon looks at Harmonia as she has a concern look on her face. "I got a bad feeling that Stella's most recent event will be her obstacle to get over to activate her special quality". Avalon said to Harmonia. Harmonia nods to Avalon in agreement.
Dream Sequence
Stella is in the same white space from before. "Victoria are you here"? Stella asks Victoria. Victoria appears to Stella. "I am here my daughter of sunlight. There are things you need to know". Victoria said to Stella.
Stella has a confused look on her face. "What sort of things"? Stella asks Victoria. Victoria shows Stella images of a person's memory to her. Stella notices something about the girl in the various memories. "That girl is Espella isn't it". Stella said to Victoria.
Victoria nods to Stella. "Yes, she has goodness and light with in her. However her heart is covered the dark crystal. You and the rangers must destroy it to bring her back to her true self. When you activated the Red Beacon of Light, it also effected her as well. It will not be long until the dark power within her will fading". Victoria said to Stella.
Stella nods as she realizes that they are using her. "I understand now". Stella said to Victoria. Victoria looks at Stella. "You should tell them what happened at the dark castle and what they did to you". Victoria said to Stella.
Stella looks down on herself. "I do not know if I can, Victoria. I have to be brave and strong to protect the others. I do not want to scare them about my ordeal". Stella said to Victoria. Victoria nods to Stella. "You may not be able to show the brave face for long, my daughter of sunlight. Tir might be coming back in future battles. The sooner you tell them, your obstacle to unlock your special quality will be easier". Victoria said to Stella as she disappears from the dream.
Dream Sequence ends
Stella wakes up as she has a cold sweat building on her forehead. 'Obstacle to unlock my special quality', Stella thought to herself as she notices the time from the alarm clock. '6:00 am already, I might as well get up'. Stella thought to herself as she gets dressed for school.
Jason is making breakfast as he sees Stella already up and dressed for school. "Good morning Stella", Jason said to Stella. Stella has a simple smile on her face as she sees her dad. "Good morning dad", Stella said to him.
Jason puts a plate of eggs and bacon out for the both of them. As they both eat breakfast, Jason notices that Stella is unusually quiet. "Did you sleep ok, Stella"? Jason asks Stella.
Stella looks at her dad as she nods to him. "Yeah, sleeping on a comfortable bed always win, dad". Stella said to Jason as she shows her smile. Jason sighs as Stella as he wants to get this out. "Stella, you should talk to me about what happened at the dark castle". Jason said to Stella.
Stella frowns as that subject is coming on. "Maybe later dad, I am going to walk to school". Stella said as she grabs her backpack and left the house. Jason sighs as he is getting concerned for Stella. He makes a phone call to Tommy.
Phone call
Tommy is waking up at his house in Reefside as he is getting his phone. "Hello", Tommy said as he is barely awake.
Jason sighs as he woke him up. "I am sorry if I woke you up, but I am worried about Stella". Jason said to Tommy.
Tommy sighs as he looks at the time. "Worried about her dating or is it about a ranger matter"? Tommy asks Jason.
Jason nods to Tommy. "It's a ranger matter, Tommy". Jason said to Tommy.
Tommy is fully awake as he hears those two words. "What's wrong did Stella got recaptured again? You really scared Kim and me when you told me about what happened. Plus I got a call from Anya that her yellow ranger came to assist the team in the rescue". Tommy said to Jason.
Jason nods to Tommy. "Oh yeah, that yellow ranger is a wild and spirited one. Say one wrong word to her, and they are in for a serious butt kicking like a tiger ready to pounce. Now that I think about it, she did get a phone call from her teammates asking her to come back because their red ranger got caught by a monster. She got really annoyed by it. It's like they can't survive a monster attack without her. Plus David told me that he will never underestimate a short/petite girl ever again. It just Stella has not told me what happened while she held captive at the dark castle. I am trying to get her to tell me, but she is changing the subject. I have no doubt that Mike and the others will try to get her to tell them, but I don't think she will tell them either". Jason said to Tommy.
Tommy sighs as he is in deep thought. "She got rescued and purified out of that thing that the villains put her through. She needs to come to terms about what happened. I know that next week is your fall break and our school system's fall break is atthe same time. I could come over to Unity Lakes and try to get Stella through it". Tommy said to Jason.
Jason nods to Tommy. "Thanks Tommy, I owe you for this", Jason said to Tommy. Tommy nods to Jason. "I am Stella's godfather. You don't owe me for it". Tommy said to Jason.
Jason nods as the phone call is reaching to the end. "Ok, bye Tommy", Jason said to Tommy. "Bye Jason", Tommy said to Jason as the phone call ends. Jason grab his work bag as he drives to Unity Lakes High.
On the way to Unity Lakes High, Stella notices a house in particular as a woman is walking to the mailbox. The woman looks at Stella. "Nice day isn't it", the woman said to Stella. Stella looks at the woman. "Yeah" as she notices a purple bow around the mailbox and a tree. "Is someone missing"? Stella asks the woman.
The woman looks at Stella. "Yeah my daughter Espella, she ran away from home. I miss her everyday, and I still don't understand why she did it. She is a good kid. It just eating me for a while now". The woman said to Stella.
Stella nods to the woman. "Did she say anything to you before she ran away"? Stella asks the woman. The woman looks at Stella. "Not really, but she did start hanging out with a new friend. She didn't tell me the friend's name though. You should get to school". The woman said to Stella as she went back into the house.
Stella is in deep thought as she head towards school. 'A new friend, I wonder about this new friend'. Stella thought to herself as she is pondering on something.
At school, Mike just arrived in the student parking lot as he sees Stella walking. "Hey Stella, I thought you rode to school with your dad". Mike said to Stella.
Stella looks at Mike as Maddie is getting out of the car. "No, I decided to walk to school this morning". Stella said to Mike. Mike looks at Stella as he notices that something is on her mind. "Stella what ever it is that you went through at the dark castle, I will listen". Mike said to Stella.
Stella looks at Mike as it is the same subject that Jason wants to talk about with her. "I know you will listen. It's just I am not ready to talk about it". Stella said to Mike as she walks away from him as she makes her way to the school building.
Mike sighs as he looks at Stella as she is heading in the building. 'Oh Stella, what did they do to you'? Mike thought to himself as he wants to get the answer.
After school, the teens are in the command room at the Unity Castle as Avalon is with them. "Before we go into training today, it is time for you to know a bit more about the Unity Crystals". Avalon said to them.
The teens look at each other as they are curious. "What about them"? Justin asks as he is curious about it. Avalon looks at them. "Each crystal contains two things, an element and a special quality. That special quality lies within each one of you. Each one of you have unlocked your element, but now it's time to unlock your special quality". Avalon said to them.
David notices the confused look on Eliza's face. "Wait a minute, we have to unlock our special quality. How are we going to do that"? David asks Avalon.
Avalon looks at David as she understands that he is somewhat new to the team. "Each one of you have to conquer a fear and over coming a great obstacle". Avalon said to them.
Eliza looks at Avalon as she wants to know more. "Is this a team thing or we have to do unlock the special quality on our own"? Eliza asks Avalon. "You have to unlock your special quality on your own, but defeating the monsters will always be a team thing". Avalon said to Eliza.
Fry looks at Avalon. "So what are the special qualities that we have to unlock"? Fry asks Avalon. Avalon looks at Fry. "Each special quality is different for each ranger Fry. Yours is love. Stella's is courage, Mike's is reliability, Justin's is knowledge, Eliza's is friendship, David's is kindness, and Dove's is sincerity". Avalon said to them.
Dove looks at her pink morphor containing her pink crystal. "So when we unlock the inner quality, do we get more power"? Dove asks Avalon. Avalon nods to Dove. "Yes, you will get more power and energy as well". Avalon said to them.
The teens nod to each other as they understand a bit more about their Unity Crystal. All the sudden, the alarm goes off as Harmonia pulls it on screen. The rangers are shocked to see Zeomaxis and a swarm of Slimcos attacking the city. "Woah who is that guy"? David asks them. "Zeomaxis", Stella said to David as they grab their morphors. "Unity Force Unite the Power", the teens said as they morph into ranger form.
In the city, the rangers arrive at the scene as Zeomaxis is making trouble. Zeomaxis looks at them. "Hello rangers, it has been awhile. Plus it looks like you got another ranger on your team". Zeomaxis said to them.
Stella glares at Zeomaxis as she is ready to fight. "Oh yeah, I liked it better when you weren't here". Stella said to Zeomaxis. Zeomaxis looks at Stella. "I have been waiting for a rematch for a while, especially against you red ranger". Zeomaxis said to Stella as the fight begins.
The fight begins as the rangers pulled out their weapons. Stella is facing off Zeomaxis while the others are fighting the Slimcos.
Stella and Zeomaxis are going at it as they are using their swords. David notices that Zeomaxis is getting the upper hand in this. David charges in with a round house kick at Zeomaxis.
Zeomaxis gets kicked in the arm as he lands on the ground. He quickly got up again. "You must be that new ranger that Tir told me about". Zeomaxis said as he goes it on David. Stella slightly froze as Zeomaxis mentioned Tir's name.
Zeomaxis eventually over powered David. "Perhaps you are the weakest one on the team". Zeomaxis said to David as he falls to the ground and struggling to get up. Eliza notices this as the others gather around him. "Thats enough", Eliza said as she throws her uniramg at Zeomaxis.
Zeomaxis counters it as Eliza's attack didn't do much at all. Mike is surprised by it. "No way, you could not done that the last time". Mike said to Zeomaxis. "Yeah did you steal powers from one of your cohorts"? Justin asks Zeomaxis as the two go at it.
Zeomaxis cuts them down as Dove also tries to land a hit on him. "Actually no, I got them as a preset from Tir himself. He couldn't come today, but he will be back soon enough". Zeomaxis said as he kicks Dove down.
Stella glares at Zeomaxis as she sends her sun wave attack at Zeomaxis. "We will defeat him like you will be soon". Stella said to Zeomaxis. Zeomaxis rolls his eyes at Stella as he uses his newest power on her. Stella got hit by the orange beam as she is sent back some as she demorphs.
Zeomaxis looks at them. "This is what it meant to look like from the very beginning, rangers. Plus more pressing matters to attend to like finding a certain ranger from a different team". Zeomaxis said to them as he and the Slimcos disappears from the battle.
The rangers gather around Stella as Mike helps her up. "Are you ok"? Mike asks Stella. Stella looks at Mike. "Not really", Stella said to Mike. The rangers teleported back to the Unity Castle.
Back at the Unity Castle, Jason and Avalon see the teens arriving as they are exhausted and injured. "Zeomaxis got stronger". Mike said to them. It also surprises Jason and Avalon. "He must have gotten more power". Avalon said to Mike. Mike nods to Avalon. "Yeah", Mike said to Avalon.
Avalon leads them to the healing chamber while Jason helps the teens as well. Jason notices the look on Stella's face as she has the brave face but she is scared deep down. As they got them in the healing chamber, Stella looks at Jason. "Dad, I need to make a call to Tommy. I need to tell him that Zeomaxis is looking for her". Stella said to Jason.
Jason nods as he knows who Stella is talking about. "Ok", Jason said to Stella as he hands his cell phone to her. Stella makes the call to Tommy. As the two talked, Stella explains to him about the most recent battle and who Zeomaxis is looking for. "Alright, I will call Anya and let her know. Plus you sent me what this alien looks like to give them the heads up about this guy". Tommy said to Stella.
Stella nods her head to Tommy. "Thanks Tommy", Stella said to Tommy. Tommy also nods to Stella. "Keep your head up, Stella", Tommy said to Stella. "I will bye Tommy". Stella said to Tommy as the phone call ends. The teens look at each other as they realize that there might be some trouble coming soon.
Back at the dark castle, Zeomaxis is walking towards Tir. Tir looks at Zeomaxis. "I take it that they rangers didn't expect you at all". Tir said to Zeomaxis. Zeomaxis looks at Tir. "Not at all Tir, you should have seen the look on the red ranger's face. She got nervous almost scared when I mentioned your name to her". Zeomaxis said to Tir.
Tir has a pleased look on his face. "Good, now I need you to snoop around in various human cities for that ranger that dared came to assist them". Tir said to Zeomaxis. Zeomaxis nods to Tir. "Of course", Zeomaxis said to Tir as the two are plotting together.
End chapter
This is not a two parter, but it is a kick start to the fears. Plus I only included Tommy in this chapter in a couple of phone calls.
