Chapter X - He Blasted Me With Science Part IV
"Now I am glad we'll not be seeing anymore him again," commented Jake from the Gosei Great Megazord Cockpit.
"Guys, I think we need to check on Lucy," said Noah.
"Good thinking, Noah," spoke Troy.
The six rangers then leapt from the cockpit and back onto the beach. They turned to see the Megazord break down to the separate zords and leave to return to the Zord Bay.
The rangers, Noah leading, ran towards Lucy's prone form. Noah dropped to his knees and began to check Lucy over for injures.
"She's still unconscious, she has a laceration over the right eyebrow, that needs to be looked over," reported Noah.
"We need to get her to a hospital," said Jake.
"I'll take her back to school, people saw me running off after her, we can't let our identities to be revealed," instructed Noah.
"Fine, we can have Gosei teleport us back to school," said Troy, opening a channel to the mentor to inform him of the plan.
The rangers, minus Noah, were then teleported in streams of their respective colours.
Suddenly, Lucy groaned, Noah swore and quickly demorphed so his identity was not revealed.
Lucy opened her eyes and spoke, "Noah?"
"I'm here, Lucy," replied Noah, placing a hand on Lucy's cheek.
"What happened?" asked Lucy.
"You were kidnapped by a monster, I followed you, the rangers destroyed the monster and told me to take you somewhere safe," answered Noah.
"Where are we going?" questioned Lucy, attempting to stand.
Noah put one of Lucy's arms around his shoulders and helped her up, "School."
"We'd better get going then," said Lucy as she and Noah began walking in the direction of the school.

Back at school ambulances had arrived, treating any injured by the Loogies defeated by Jordan, Kitty and Serena.
Both Jordan and Serena had been treated for minor cuts and bruising and were sat on the steps if the school.
"I haven't seen you around here before, you new?" asked Jordan.
"Yeah, I've been ill for the last seven years so I fell a little behind, doing my senior year at nineteen," answered Serena.
"Where you from?" questioned Jordan.
"Just outside Panorama City," replied Serena, "You?"
"Angel Grove, born and raised, only moved here two years ago," said Jordan.
Before either could speak anymore a loud clapping and cheering could be here. Jordan and Serena stood up to see what had happen.
It seemed the Noah had returned with Lucy after he fought the monster and his minions at the school an hour earlier. The two were quickly ushered off to be treated.
"Never thought I'd see the day Noah Carver fought a monster," commented Jordan, "He doesn't have much self esteem."
"Sometimes the weakest people are the bravest," said Serena.
Suddenly a loud honking could be heard. The two turned to see a large red pick-up had rolled up.
"That's my dad," excused Jordan, beginning to walking down the steps before stopping and turning back, "In fact, do you need a lift anywhere?"
"My flat, if you're offering," answered Serena, walking down the steps to meet Jordan.
"Just as well I am offering," said Jordan.

"OW!"
"Jeez Noah, you do know I cleared everything you could trip over away," said Jake as he led his blindfolded best friend along, "What did you trip over this time?"
Noah muttered something Jake couldn't hear.
"What was that?" grinned Jake.
"I tripped over my foot," said Noah dejectedly.
Jake couldn't help but chuckle as he led his friend up a short flight of stairs.
It was now three days later, the school had closed for a day after Yuffo's attack, but had re-opened. Noah self-esteem was at an all time low due to his defeat at the hands of Yuffo, regardless of the fact he had been treated like hero by his peers.
"Why are we doing this?" asked Noah as he sighed, "This is not how I imagined spending my lunch."
"I've got something to take your mind of your parents making you learn how to ride a motorbike and other things that are manly," explained Jake, emphasising the last word of the sentence with obvious disgust.
"This better not be what I think this is," warned Noah.
"When I tell you to take your blindfold off, take your blindfold off," instructed the Black Ranger.
Jake walked away from Noah and seconds later the call for Noah to remove his blindfold came.
Noah snatched at his blindfold and pulled it off, glad he had changed to contact lenses as glasses had been a liability in battle. Noah opened his eyes to see a drum set, a guitar and a stereo. He was in the auditorium.
Noah groaned, "Not this again!"
"You can sing, I've heard you, you just need to believe in yourself," protested Jake as he sat at the drum kit.
"No!" protested Noah as he turned to walk away.
"Wait!" exclaimed Jake as he stood up, "Come on, for me," begged Jake, using his puppy dog eyes.
"Why do you always do that?" asked Noah rhetorically as he stopped.
"So that means you'll do it?" questioned Jake hopefully.
"Fine," sighed Noah.
"Good," replied Jake as he hit the play button on the stereo and sat back down, "I'm sure you know this song, come on, it's Jukebox Hero."
Jake began to play the drums as the beat off the song started. Noah took a deepbreath to calm his nerves and picked up the guitar. Jake also took a deep breath and began to sing.
As Jake sang the words of the ninth line Noah struck the guitar strings and began to play. After another three lines Noah began to sing with an uncertain look on his face.
As Noah continued to sing a confident grin grew on his face and he began to dance around a bit.
In the entrance to the auditorium stood Lucy, looking in at Noah and Jake singing. The corners of her mouth turning upwards at Noah dancing round whilst he played the guitar. Lucy continued smiled sadly at her two former best friends, one of whom she was trying to patch things up with. She turned around and left, unshed tears glistening in her eyes.
After another minute the song ended and the final note hovered in the air.
"Awe-some," proclaimed Jake with an infectious grin on his face.
Noah smiled and nodded in reply as he placed down the guitar.
"See," said Jake pointing at Noah with one of his drum sticks, "I told you that you could do it."
"Yeah," admitted Noah, feeling more confident.
"Well, now you audition for Glee Club," spoke Jake nonchalantly.
"What!" exclaimed Noah.
"You should, you're really good and there's only four of us, just be there after school," spoke Jake, "Besides, Lucy is gonna be there."
"Why would that matter?" asked Noah, trying to avoid showing that he had feelings for her.
"Well the two of you spent most of last year giving each other the eyes," commented Jake.
"Jake!" warned Noah.
"It was really obvious 'cause of those big old chunky glasses you used to wear magnified your eyes," joked Jake.
"Jake!" repeated Noah, growling.
"Oh Lucy! Oh Lucy!" mocked Jake, motioning with his hands
"JAKE!" shouted Noah as he began run at Jake, who sprinted away, jumping off the stage and out of the auditorium.
"I'll kill you when I catch you!" shouted Noah, only half joking.
