Chapter 51: Journey to the Sword Part 5: Judgement and Forgiveness, Espella

Espella arrives in an alley in Ocean Bluff as she is by herself to get her sword piece. She pulls out her map as the place to start is at a pizza parlor called Jungle Karma Pizza. 'I wonder why I am starting there of all places'. Espella thought to herself as she walk towards the pizza palor.

Espella walks into Jungle Karma Pizza as things are dying down. She takes a seat at a booth. A man named RJ sees Espella taking the seat. "Welcome to Jungle Karma Pizza, the name is RJ. There is something about you that came in here am I right. You have an important journey that you are starting, and you first came here". RJ said to Espella.

Espella looks at RJ as she is in a tough position. "Yeah, but you probably would not believe me if I told you". Espella said to RJ.

RJ looks at Espella as he does believe her. "Come with me, there is something I want to show you". RJ said to Espella. Espella rises a brow as she is curious what RJ has to show her. They went upstairs to the loft of the pizza parlor.

Espella looks around and likes the place. "What is so special about a loft space"? Espella asks RJ. RJ looks at Espella. "This was once the HQ of the Jungle Fury Rangers. I once told my students never to judge a book by its cover. I was a mentor and a ranger as well". RJ said to Espella.

Espella has a shocked look on her face. "Wait what color were you"? Espella asks RJ. RJ looks at Espella. "I was the first purple ranger, and you carry the color nicely especially in your hair". RJ said to Espella.

Espella nods to RJ as she has a sheepish look on her face. "Really, I never knew that there are other purple rangers around besides me and Josh". Espella said to RJ.

RJ looks at Espella. "Josh must be a ranger on a different team then". RJ said to Espella. "Yeah", Espella said to RJ. RJ nods to Espella. "Purple is a rare color for a ranger team, but there are a select few that can pull it off". RJ said to Espella.

Espella nods as she understands. "I see. I have to find a sword piece that will help us to defeat Queen Omitrix and her evil forces. According to my map, it's somewhere in Ocean Bluff". Espella said to RJ.

RJ nods to Espella. "You are in for the long haul, Espella. Plus you should get going to find it". RJ said to Espella. Espella nods to RJ. "I will and thanks RJ". Espella said to RJ as she leaves the loft/pizza parlor.

Espella is walking around in downtown Ocean Bluff. She pulls out her map. 'Looks like I am heading to a rock quarry now'. Espella thought to herself as she heads that way. Little did she know that she will be fighting her judged self and her unforgiven self.

About two hours later, Espella arrives at the rock quarry. 'There is something about being at a rock quarry that just have bad events happening'. Espella thought to herself as she is reminded of old memories.

Espella notices something covered in ice. As she went close to it, Espella could not touch it like it's behind an invisible wall. "Something tells me that there is more to this than a sword piece behind an invisible wall". Espella said to herself.

"You are right. There is more to it". A female said to Espella. Espella turns around and sees a carbon copy of Espella except she has a frown on her face and bruises all over her. "What happened to you and who are you"? Espella asks the female.

The female looks at Espella. "It should be very obvious. I am you, but I am the judged you". The Judged Espella said to Espella. Espella is taken back by the Judged Espella. "But why do you look so injured"? Espella asks Judged Espella.

Judged Espella looks at Espella. "Every single day, I get beaten up by my classmates at school. I told mom every single day, but she is too busy with work to care about me. She calls herself a mom and an advocate for me, but she is too busy with work. New York is my personal dark place, and you are in my way to stay permanently". Judged Espella said to Espella.

Espella grits her teeth as she has to fight herself in a battle. "You are wrong, and I will prove it". Espella said to the Judged Espella. The fight begins between them.

Espella tries land a physical blow on the Judged Espella, but Judged Espella blocked it. She actually land more blows on to Espella. Espella lands on the ground as she got back up again. 'Physical blows are not going to work on her. My friends are counting on me to get my sword piece. Wait a minute, if physical blows will not work perhaps, I can get through to her some other way'. Espella thought to herself.

Judged Espella charges in at Espella with a round house kick. Espella blocks it as she has a compassionate look on her face. "Do you cry yourself to sleep at night"? Espella asks the Judged Espella.

Judged Espella is taken back by the question. "Yeah what of it? No one understands the pain and the hurt that I am dealing with". Judged Espella said to Espella as she tries to land a punch on her.

Espella blocks the punch as she looks at Judged Espella. "Your emotions are pent up from the constant belittling and being bullied isn't it". Espella said to Judged Espella.

Judged Espella looks at Espella as she is getting through to her without landing physical blows on her. "Yes how could you have figure it out"? Judged Espella asks Espella.

Espella looks at Judged Espella. "I could not land a physical blow on you. When you are angry, your physical blows are harsh. It is when I realized that you are using your emotions at me". Espella said to Judged Espella.

Judged Espella looks at Espella as she knows she is right. "You are correct. How did you deal with your pent up emotions about what happened"? Judged Espella asks Espella. Espella looks at Judged Espella. "I told my friend Dove about it, and she listened to me. She is the kind of friend that listens and truly cares about me". Espella said to Judged Espella.

Judged Espella nods as looks at Espella. "I see that now. You truly have moved on from your past on being constantly bullied, belittled, and judged. You have defeated me and passed my test to get your sword piece". Judged Espella said to Espella.

Espella notices her sword piece is glowing a bright purple color. Judged Espella looks at Espella. "I should tell you that you are not done here yet. You have another test to face. When the sun is going down, your former evil self will come. You will have to defeat your former evil self". Judged Espella said to Espella as she disappears. Espella realizes that she has another test to face to get her sword piece.

As hours went by and the sun is setting, Espella sees another carbon copy of herself appears. Except this carbon copy is evil. "Well, you waited for me. I am so honored". Evil Espella said to Espella in a condescending tone.

Espella looks at the Evil Espella. "I take it that you are here to test me". Espella said to Evil Espella. Evil Espella nods to Espella. "You are not the dumb blonde that people thought you are". Evil Espella said to Espella. Espella rolls her eyes at Evil Espella. "They also say that looks and acts can be deceiving". Espella said to Evil Espella as she is ready to fight.

As the fight starts, Evil Espella looks down on Espella. "I honestly do not know why you are not evil like me". Evil Espella said to Espella as she lands a punch on her. Espella gets hit in the face as she went down. "I have my reasons, Evil Espella". Espella said as she goes in a round house on Evil Espella.

Evil Espella blocks it with ease as she kicks Espella down. "No, I really see the weak with in you. Diamanda should have destroyed you when she had the chance". Evil Espella said to Espella as she really does a number on her.

Espella lands to the ground hard. She is struggling to get up as she figures out Evil Espella's plan. "I am not weak. I have gotten more stronger than before. I have earned forgiveness from the others, and I have forgiven myself". Espella said to Evil Espella as she gives a powerful round house kick at Evil Espella. In doing so, her sword piece is glowing and shining brightly.

The Evil Espella lands on the ground as she grins at Espella. "You have passed my test". Evil Espella said to Espella. Espella has a surprised look on her face. "What do you mean"? Espella asks the Evil Espella.

Evil Espella looks at Espella. "You have forgiven yourself for the bad things you have done to the rangers. Plus your sword piece is truly earned in a good manner for you that is". Evil Espella said to Espella as she disappears from the scene.

Espella sighs as she went to grab her sword piece. It is shining a purple color. She looks up as it is getting really late in the evening. "I bet the others are probably back by now". Espella said to herself. The sword piece teleports away to the Unity Castle.

RJ shows up at the scene as he looks at Espella. "I take it you completed your journey". RJ said to Espella. Espella nods to RJ. "Yeah plus I am getting really hungry by now". Espella said to RJ. RJ nods as they went back to Jungle Karma Pizza.

After eating some veggie pizza, Espella went up to the loft of the pizza parlor. Espella looks at RJ. "I am glad that I met you, RJ". Espella said to RJ. RJ nods to Espella. "Same here, you have a positive energy. Remember there maybe a very few purple rangers, but there is a few of us around". RJ said to Espella. Espella nods to RJ as she teleports back to the campsite.

Back at the campsite, everyone is around a campfire roasting marshmallows for s'mores. They notice Espella returning to the campsite. "Hey guys", Espella said to them.

Justin looks at Espella as he is happy that his girlfriend is back. "Espella you are back". Justin said to Espella. "What took you long"? Dove asks Espella. "Eliza and I got back before dinner". David said to Espella.

Mike looks at them. "Guys let her talk", Mike said to them. Ester nods in agreement. "Plus by the looks of things, you look like you got into a fight". Ester said to Espella.

Espella looks at them. "Actually I did get into a fight with my judged self and my former evil self".

Espella said to them. The group is surprised by it. "That is really crazy". Mikayla said to Espella.

Espella nods to them. "You are telling me. Both of them wanted to get into my head, but I got through to them instead. My journey was hard though. Plus I got to meet a veteran ranger, RJ". Espella said to them.

They look at Espella as Justin remembers as well. "Come to think of it, I also got to meet a veteran ranger as well. I met Tori". Justin said to them. "I got to meet Dustin". Fry said to them. "I got to meet Dana and Kelsey". Dove said to them. "David and I got to meet Xander and Maddie". Eliza said to them.

Stella has a curious look on her face. "If that is the case, we all should meet a veteran ranger in our journeys as well". Luna said to them. Mike nods to them. "The question is now is who will I, Stella, Luna, Ester, and Jason will meet". Mike said to them.

Stella looks at Mike. "Well my dad is a veteran ranger, but he is a ranger again on our team. I just do not know who we will meet". Stella said to Mike.

Mike nods to Stella. "Yeah, plus I am a bit nervous on who I will meet as well". Mike said to them. Dove looks at Mike. "You shouldn't be nervous about it, Mike. They could be really cool, and plus this person could share the color as you". Dove said to Mike.

Espella looks at Dove as she remembers. "Come to think of it, RJ and I do share the same color". Espella said to them. The others that went on their journey nod. "Maddie and I do not share the same color, but we are both rangers". David said to them. "I share my ranger color with a guy". Eliza said to them. "Well I share my ranger color with a girl". Justin said to them. Fry nods to them. "I share my ranger color with a guy". Fry said to them.

Mike looks at them as it gets him a little bit nervous. 'Who am I going to meet on my journey to the sword? Will it be Trent or will it be a different white ranger'? Mike asks himself as he wants to prepare himself for his journey.

As the teens are going to bed after they put out the camp fire, Jason and Kim are talking. "Well, it turns out that Espella took longer because she had to wait for he second opponent to come at sun down". Jason said to them.

Kim nods to Jason. "Well that's six down and five more to go". Kim said to Jason. Jason nods to Kim. "Yeah then again, I am not sure why the Scott family map has us going to the old command center". Jason said to Kim.

Kim looks at Jason as she remembers back. "You know Jason, it brings back memories on who was going to be the newest ranger back in the day". Kim said to Jason.

Jason nods to Kim. "I know what you mean. Plus I am curious who the girls will meet on the veteran ranger side of things". Jason said to Kim.

Kim nods to Jason as they see Tommy walking in the room. He has a stressed look on his face after he got off the phone. Kim recognizes that look on Tommy's face. "What's wrong Tommy"? Kim asks Tommy as she is curious about it.

Tommy looks at them. "I just got off the phone with Kira. She and Trent are getting a divorce". Tommy said to them. This shocks them as Kim looks at Tommy. "They were only married for almost 4 years". Kim said to Tommy.

Tommy sighs as he sits on the couch. "I know Kim. Trent had an affair with one of Kira's bandmates for two years. On top of that, that same bandmate pretty much bought her out from the band that she started from the ground up. That bandmate pretty much got the other bandmates to betray Kira in the worse possible way". Tommy said to them.

Jason winced as he looks at Tommy. "That is a low blow. Are you going to kick his butt for this"? Jason asks Tommy. Tommy looks at Jason. "I honestly do not know what I am going to do about him, Jase. I will handle it when we get back to Reefside". Tommy said to Jason. The adults nod as they go to bed.

Meanwhile at the dark castle, Queen Omitrix went to the special chamber. She looks at the dark and evil mirror as she removes it from its pedestal. "Soon Queen Victoria, you will finally get some company for you". Queen Omitrix said to Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria looks at Queen Omitrix as she is still trapped in the mirror. "The prophecy will come true, Omitrix. The one that you want to capture will be saved by a sacrifice made from unsaid love". Queen Victoria said to Queen Omitrix.

Queen Omitrix rolls her eyes as she looks at Queen Victoria. "That prophecy will fail, and the Earth will be mine". Queen Omitrix said to Queen Victoria as she uses the dark powers on her.

Queen Victoria feels the dark energy as she collapses yet again. 'Avalon, if you have feelings for Jason, you know what needs to be done to protect him'. Queen Victoria telepathically said to Avalon as she passed out in the dark mirror.
