Gaia was dodging hit after hit, but Vida wasn't giving up. "Attack me Gaia," Vida demanded. "My powers are limited with this band," Gaia said. Vida stopped her attack. "Gaia, what gets under your skin the most," Vida asked. "Why do you ask," Gaia questioned. "Just tell me," Vida said. "Um, I do not know," Gaia said. "Alright, I'll just guess," Vida said, "Back on your feet." Gaia looked up, "But wait." "Come on you little daddy's girl," Vida said. "What," Gaia said. "Aww, did daddy tell you not to hit your teacher," Vida cooed. "What are you trying to say," Gaia asked a little offended. "Daddy's girl," Vida stated simply. "Stop that," Gaia demanded. "Make me, daddy's girl," Vida yelled. Gaia's eyes started to glow green, "I said stop it!" Vida smirked, "Daddy's Little Girl!" Even though the band was on her wrist, she somehow managed to use all of her powers and made a tree grow under Vida's feet. When she got done, Vida was at least four stories in the air. "Great Gaia, and sorry about that daddy's girl stuff," Vida yelled from above. "No problem," Gaia said. "Now lower the tree so I can get down," Vida yelled. Gaia smiled sympathetically, "My powers are limited with this band."
Brook, Nicole, and Jessy sat in the backseat of Eric's car while Taylor sat on the front passenger side. "Grandma Cadillac is doing 55, what are you doing," Jessy asked. "The speed limit," Eric said. "Ok, Eric, ever heard of 5 over," Taylor questioned. "I'm doing the speed limit," Eric said, "and may I remind you, you asked me to drive!" "Only because my car need to be repaired," Taylor said. "Now remind me, what happened to your car again," Eric smirked. "Just drive," Taylor said. "Those two are perfect for each other," Brook whispered. "Heard that," they both said. "Why couldn't we ride the eagle," Nicole asked. "Is the eagle in the shop too," Eric meddled, "Clip a plane?" "Shut up, we can't ride the eagle because Kat and Hayley are doing something with it," Taylor said.
Finally, after arguments, backseat drivers, kissing noises, and singing songs off the radio, they arrived at the training spot. "It's about time," Jen said. "What took you guys so long," Kendrix asked. "The speed limit," Jessica said. "Next time, I drive," Taylor said. "Please do," Nicole said. "Alright, lets get down to business, bands on," Jen said. "Why do we have to limit our powers," Jessy asked. "To see what you can do," Kendrix said. "Why do w have to work together," Brook asked. "Good question," Nicole agreed. "Because all of your elements are connected," Taylor answered. "In a way, all eight elements are connected," Jen said. "Eventually, light and dark will work together," Kendrix said. "Then fire and ice," Taylor said. "Also sound and air," Jen said. "Water and fire," Kendrix said. "You know never mind, your creeping me out with the finishing each others sentences thing," Nicole said.
"Ok Ana," Maya started. "Anastasia, I hate that name," she said. "Anastasia," Maya corrected, "the best way to fight is with heart." "Heart," Anastasia said. "Yes," Maya said. "Ok, what does heart have to do with fighting," Anastasia asked. "If you don't know the answer yourself, then you'll never know," Maya said. "Ok, so why am I meditating, or is that an answer I'll never know," Anastasia asked. "It helps you relax, focus," Maya said. Anastasia stuck one eyebrow in the air, "Oh." When she finally opened her eyes, Maya was holding a stick. A big stick! "What's that for," Anastasia asked. "Training," Maya said, "Now put on the band and lets get started." "But I can't use all of my powers," Anastasia complained. "Exactly," Maya said, "Now dodge!"
Mallory sat in the food court of the mall. Kim was suppose to meet her there for training after she finished getting something from a combat shop. She sipped on her milkshake and looked around. "Come on Kim," Mallory said to herself. "Talking to yourself," a guy asked. "David, hi," Mallory said a little surprised. David was cute. Brown, scruffy, medium length, hair. Deep blue eyes that Mallory often got lost in. Tall, and a great figure. He was also caring, sweet, sensitive, and smart. "Can I sit down," David asked. "Sure," Mallory said. "You know, I was looking for you," David said. "You were," Mallory asked. "Yeah, Jessica said you would be here," David told her. "Yeah, that's Jessy, knows everything about everyone," Mallory smiled. David laughed a little, "I wanted to ask you about the concert." "You mean the All-American Rejects concert," Mallory asked. "Yeah, that one," David said, "I bought two front row tickets, and I was thinking that maybe you would want to go." "I would love to go," Mallory said. "Ebony said you would," David said. "Have you talked to all of my friends," Mallory asked. "How else was I suppose to find out if you liked me or not," David asked. "Who told you that," Mallory asked. "Nicole," David said. "She's a liar, you shouldn't listen to her," Mallory said. "So you don't like me," David pouted. "No, I do I just," Mallory began. David smiled. "Call me sometime," he said. He wrote his phone number on a piece of paper and slide it in front of her. "By the way, I didn't exactly talk to your friends," David said, "They cornered me at school when they heard I was thinking about asking you out." "They did what," Mallory exclaimed. "It's no problem, they were just looking out for you, like you would do for them," David said, "You have good friends." He kissed her on the check and left. Kim walked over to the table and sat down, "Whose the cutie," Kim asked. "Uh, who," Mallory asked. "The one whose number is 284- 77," Mallory took the phone number. "Give me that!" "Ok, lover girl, ready to train," Kim asked. "Yeah, lets go."
Ebony and Lita stood back to back. Nanotrogs. Alyssa and Kira continued fighting the best that they could. They had already called for back up. And the Nanotrogs weren't stopping. "I think we should go ranger," Lita said. "Agreed," Ebony stated. "Elemental Force, Morph!" "Sound!" "Dark!" "This is better," Ebony said. "Much," Lita said, "Take this sound!" She reversed their blows to them. "Darkness," Ebony said. She changed her surrounding to darkness. "What's the darkness for," Lita asked. "I see better in the dark," Ebony said. She blasted three with her blaster. Suddenly, the earth beneath her feet began to shake. Ebony suddeny, found herself in the air. "Lita," Ebony shouted. "I can't control earth," Lita yelled, "Can't you jump?" "It's too high," Ebony said. "Elemental Force Morph! Earth!" Gaia bought down Ebony. "It's about time," Ebony said. "I had to get my trainer out of a tree," Gaia said. "I'll ask later," Lita said. Lita took out her blaster and blasted it at a blue one. "Air!" "Water!" "Ice!" They all blasted ten of the Nanotrogs. "Six rangers," Ebony said. "Oh yeah," Nicole said. She dodged a hit and punched on in the face. "Anastasia," Brook said. "Where," Jessy asked. "Right here," the yellow ranger stated. Mallory and Kim pulled up in the car. "Oh, trouble," Kim said. "Elemental Force, Morph! Fire!" Mallory ran towards the fight. "Hey everyone's here," Jessy stated. "What this I hear about you guys cornering David at school" Mallory said dodging blows. "Uh, lets talk later," Anastasia said. "Earth," Gaia yelled. She bought the ground up underneath every green Nanotrog, then beneath herself. "I got the green ones," the earth ranger yelled.
On the sidelines, the trainers watched. "You were stuck in a tree," Kira asked. "Don't you dare laugh," Vida said. "You gotta admit, it is kinda funny," Kendrix stated. "I think it's time we gave the their zords," Taylor said. "You mean right now," Jen asked. "Not now, later," Taylor said. "Did Kat say she was finished upgrading them," Kim asked. "Kat and Hayley are working on so much stuff, who knows," Maya said. "What are we talking about," Jessy asked. "Aren't you suppose to be fighting," Jen asked. "We beat them down, we vanquished them, we're done," Mallory said. "Ok, well, I guess we should go back to the warehouse and see what Hayley and Kat are up to," Kendrix said.
"Hayley, Kat," Kira called. "Yeah," Kat said. "What's up guys," Hayley said. "We just kicked Nanotrog butt," Brook stated. "Always a good thing," Kat said. "Are you finished with the zords yet," Taylor asked. "Theirs, or yours," Kat asked. "Theirs," Taylor said. "Just finished them," Hayley said. "That's great," Nicole said. "Now what the heck are you all talking about," Ebony asked. "Follow me," Hayley said. They walked up to the roof of the warehouse. "Oh my dog," Brook said. "What," Anastasia asked. "You switch around the letters," Gaia stated. "Oh," Anastasia said. "These are your zords," Hayley said. "Cool," Mallory said. "Isn't it," Nicole said. "Ok, Jessica," Hayley began, "the gold air eagle." "Cool," Jessica said. "Lita, the pink sound bat." "A bat," Lita said, "I can deal." "Alright, Anastasia, the yellow light cougar." "I can handle a cougar," Anastasia said. "Ebony, the black dark jaguar." "Ok," Ebony nodded. "Gaia, the green earth bull." Gaia smiled and nodded. "Brook, the blue water tortoise." "A turtle," Brook questioned. "Mallory, the red fire lion." "I like it," Mallory said. "And Nicole, the white ice tiger." "Alright," Nicole cheered. "Ok, so take them for a test drive, see how you like them," Kat said. "We will," they all said. "Elemental Force Morph!" They all sat in the seats of their zords. "I'm liking this," Nicole said. "I thought you would," Hayley said. Ebony took off in her zord leaping from building to building and the others followed behind.
Two hours later, they came back. They got out of their zords and immediately began talking. "The bat was so cool," Lita said. "You guys shouldv'e been in that eagle," Jessica told them. "So I take it you enjoyed your test runs," Kendrix asked. "Yeah," Brook said. "Good, now go home and get some rest, tomorrow's another day of training," Jen said. They all groaned. "Yeah, yeah, practice makes perfect," Jen said. They just groaned some more.
The next day during free period, Nicole went through her and Mallory's locker looking for their homework. Today, Dana, Kelsey, Madison, and Syd were hanging out with them at the school. "How junky is that locker," Dana asked. "We haven't cleaned it out in a while, so pretty junky," Mallory said. "Hey, look who's back," Jessica pointed out. They all turned around to see Jake. Most girls at school would say that Jake Glen was hot. He was African American, tall, green eyes, light brown spiky hair, that in the front hung over a little. Fit, nice smile, smart, and compassionate. He smiled and waved at friends and walked towards the girls. "Who is he," Kelsey asked. "That's Jake, Nicole's boyfriend," Gaia said. "He went to live with his mother for a year, and just moved back I guess," Lita said, "How they made that relationship last is unknown?" "Hey," Jake smiled. "Jake, what's up," Mallory said. "Nothing much," he said. "So meet any girls," Anastasia asked. "I get it," Jake said, "No I haven't been seeing anyone else." "Good," Gaia said. "Where is she," he asked. "Who," Anastasia asked. "Nicole," Jake smiled. "That's her flipping through the notebook," Ebony said. "Thanks, I'll see you girls later." He ran behind Nicole and put a rose in front of her face. She looked up at it. When she turned around she got an unexpected kiss. "Hey, miss me," he asked. "Yeah," she said and hugged him. "I didn't even know she had a boyfriend," Syd said. "I bet you didn't know Mallory had one either," Brook said. "I do not," Mallory said. "Right," the elemental rangers nodded together. Syd, Dana, Maddy, and Kelsey smiled.
After school, everyone met up with Madison at a good looking car. "You girls are spending the day with me," she told them. "Cool," they all said. "Just don't get anything on the seats or scratch it in anyway, or Vida will kill me," Madison said. "Ok," they all said. On the drive, Madison told them that she had to pick up some people who wanted to meet them. It took 10 minutes for them to exit Blue Bay Harbor. "Where do these people live," Ebony asked. "Welcome to Briarwood," Jessica read. "We're not to far," Madison said. She pulled up to a place called the Rock Porium. "Alright, get out," Maddy said. They jumped out the jeep and looked around. Magical beings and humans all walking around. "Where are we," Anastasia asked. "Briarwood," Ebony smiled. "My friends want to meet you," Madison said. They walked in the store and Vida waved from the turntables. "Thos the girls," Chip asked. "Yep," Madison said, "This it Chip, over there is Nick, and you already know Vida." "Hey," Nick said. They all greeted him. "Where is Xander," Madison asked. "Right here," Xander said. He looked at the girls. "Rangers?" "Yeah," Chip said. "Good, Toby, we're taking a break," Xander said. "Ok, be back soon," Toby said. "Sure thing, yeah, we might be out longer," Vida said. "Ok, I'll just lock up early," Toby said. "See ya Toby," Madison said.
"Ok, so where are we going now," Ebony asked. "Through that tree," Chip said. "What," Nicole questioned. "Watch," Vida said. She walked over to the tree and in it. "What the heck," Brook said. "Just go," Madison said, "Trust me." They looked at each other and Mallory pushed Gaia in. Gaia stuck her head out, "I'm fine just so you know." "Ok," Jessica said, "Just checking." They walked through and ended up in front of Root Core. They walked in and Udonna and Leanbow were waiting. "Ahh, we have guest," Udonna said. "What you don't get them often," Nicole asked. "Haha, she's funny," Leanbow smiled. "Trust me, we all come with some line," Lita said. "These are the eight that will save the world, theirs no doubt, the book foresaw this," Udonna said. "A book," Mallory asked. "You know, one of those things you don't read," Ebony smirked. "I read," Mallory said, "When I want to." "Like sisters, bickering, joking, protective," Udonna said, "I can sense a strong bond." "Is that a sheep," Jessy questioned. "No, that's Clare," Xander said. "Who's a sheep," Jessy questioned. "Who turned her self into a sheep accidentally," Leanbow said. Vida changed her back. "Thank you," Clare said. "Hi," Brook waved. "Hello, you must be the Elemental Force," Clare said. "Yeah," Jessy said. "So tell me, what are your names," Udonna asked. "I'm Anastasia, that's Mallory, Gaia, Jessica, Nicole, Lita, Brook, and Ebony." "Gaia, that earth," Xander said. "I am the earth ranger, earth ranger," Gaia told him. "Oh, I have a fan," Xander said. "She read the folder, Xander," Maddy said. "Oh," Xander pouted, "Are you a fan?" Gaia raised her eyebrow giving him a confused, questioning look, "Uh, yeah, sure?" "Forget about Xander, he just loves to be loved," Vida said. "True," Xander smirked. "How would you like to train Mystic Force style," Nick asked. "Even if you don't want to, Taylor and Jen said you had to," Madison stated. "Let's go," Brook smiled.
Renatrog stood in front of the stone door. He looked at the cryptic writings engraved in it. "This is it," Renatrog laughed smugly. "Sir, I'm begging you to reconsider," Lanatrog pleaded. "Reconsider, ha," Renatrog laughed. He chanted something in Latin and the stone door cracked. The crack, light shone bright. Then the door shattered into pieces. Standing where the stone door was, were 3 things just as ugly as Renatrog. Renatrog smirked, "Ah, my dear brothers."
