"Crush" by Zen'Aku Lati
Disclaimer: Don't own Power Rangers…yada, yada, yada…
Author's Note: This is from Billy's POV during Zeo, "A Golden Homecoming". Read. Enjoy. Review. Three simple rules. Y'all can handle that, right?
Thanks: Thanks, again, for all those that reviewed or just hit this story up thus far. I really appreciate it. I got a couple complaints about the length of the previous two installments, and I promise from here on out that the subsequent installments won't be as short. No shorter than a page, that's a promise…
So, here's a new helping. Bon apatite!
Part V
I wonder. I wonder if anyone's noticed I've stopped wearing my glasses. That I'm not some little weakling…that I can flex with the best of them…
But who could see the color of my eyes in the shadow?
I, Trey of Courage, give forth the spirit and fortitude the Golden Power possesses…
All I've done for the Rangers…All I've become…All I've given up…
Becoming Ninjetti, graduating early, giving up scholarships, finding the Zeo Crystals, even growing into my looks…doesn't matter…
And I, Trey of Heart, endow you, Jason of Earth, with the kindness and empathy the Power holds…
But really, I can only blame myself. I could've done like Kimberly and followed my dreams, but I chose to stay. I chose…But a little recognition wouldn't hurt…
And I, Trey of Wisdom, place in your hands the knowledge and experience of my people of Triforia. Use it well…
If ever I wanted to jump ship, I could be the biggest thorn in the Rangers' side…but I mustn't entertain those thoughts…
I could really hand it to them, though…wait, wait, no…
You now posses the power, drawn from all three of my essences. May they aid and protect you in the future…
But really, they should be kissing my feet…but no, no. That's not right. I still believe in the cause. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger…
Thank you for trusting me with it, Jason said…
And I had an opportunity to redeem myself, but because of my last contribution to the team, I forfeited my ability to hold new power.
I could've been a Ranger again for real, though, not just in spirit.
Now Jason has it…
It's been a long time, but…Back to action! Jason commanded.
Exit stage left…
