Chapter Six-Allies and Improvements
"You guys seriously need to get your security systems up to date." Goldar said conversationally, walking into the room. "I pushed and the door opened. No challenge at all."
"G-Goldar?" Ann stuttered. "What is he doing here?"
Karone opened her mouth to answer, but Goldar cut here off.
"They let me go." he said. "I've changed, really, I have. I want to help. All those years in prison have made me see that being evil is such a waste of your life. Now fighting the evil, that's the real way to live. Plus, am I the only one that notcied that the good guys always win? Seriously, I lost count of all the battles that Rita alone lost to the rangers. Of course, Rita wasn't exactly the smartest person. I guess it's a trait that runs in the family, huh?"
Trini's jaw dropped. "Who are you, and what have you done with the real Goldar?"
"Yeah," Ann chimed in, "You're so...so..."
"Not evil?" Billy supplied. Ted and Justin nodded their heads in agreement. "I must admit it is rather unnerving that one of our former arch-nemesis is here in the flesh and not trying to obliterate us."
They were all silent for a minute.
"Yeah, what he said." Ted agreed.
A look that could most likely pass off as a smile on any alien planet appeared on Goldar's face. Which, in Ann's opinion did nothing to improve his facial features whatsoever.
"Well, I used to be evil." Goldar explained. "But thirty four years in prison can change a-"
"Giant Gold Monkey." David offered suddenly appearing in the room. "So you guys picked him up?"
Ann rounded on her older brother. "You knew he was being freed! And you didn't tell me?!"
"Calm down Ann." David said. "I only just found out. Besides, I tried calling your place and no one answered. Which brings me to my next point, who decided to have a party and not invite me?"
"Bro," Ted began, shaking his head sadly, "Every party we have we try to do it without you. We just don't have a lot of space down here to hide a party from you."
"So, ignoring that rather insightful look into the lives of people who I thought actually liked me," David continued while wiping a fake tear from his eye, "Where are my favorite niece and nephew? You aren't hiding them from the truth again, are you Ann?"
"I never hid them from the truth." Ann protested. "I protected them from it. And if you had kids, then you would do the same thing."
"They got powers." Ted said. "And they had to go to your old house to get some information on Scarlette. Then they were going to go attack to moon palace or something."
"Which is why I'm here." Goldar said suddenly. "I want to help. I want to make up for all the bad I did before."
Kimmie snorted. "I find that kind of hard to believe."
"Don't we all?" Ann muttered.
"I want to help." Goldar repeated. "I can totally understand why you wouldn't trust me of course. But all that I'm asking for is a chance. Please?"
"I guess we could." Ann said slowly.
"Could what?" A voice asked from the dooryway. "And why are there so many people here?"
"Uncle Jason!" David exclaimed. "Yes! I wasn't the only one who wasn't invited to the party!"
"Oh shut up David." Ann snapped. "This isn't a party. Ada, Kyle, and Sam became rangers, Goldar got freed and he wants to help us defeat Scarlette, and the kids took the megaship to our old house to get some info from dad's computer's."
"How...fascinating." Jason said slowly. "So, Ada's a power ranger now? How on Earth did Kyle become one? Who is Sam? Why would anyone in their right mind let Goldar free? Do you really trust him to help save everyone and defeat Scarlette? And how did the kids get the megaship when it's supposed to be on KO-35?"
"Ahh." Ted said. "A few really good questions."
"Yeah." Kimmie chimed in. "Questions with a bunch of answers."
"Well, we have plenty of time." Jason said conversationally. "Tommy never had that great of organizational skills, especially when it came to using the ever-feared technology."
"Yeah, so, got any other names?" Henry asked. "I mean who calls their kid 'friend'?"
"Shut up Henry!" Jordan exclaimed. "She wasn't telling us what her name was. You're such an idiot."
The woman smiled at them. "You remind me of some teenagers I used to know. Conner in particular was quite stupid at times."
"Yeah, don't you mean like all the time?" Ada questioned. "Not exactly someone who I'd call the smartest of the bunch."
The woman's smile widened, if possible. "You know Conner?"
"Uncle Conner is the best!" Kyle exclaimed. "He plays soccer with me all the time. But he's kind of weird. He always wears red. And nothing else. It can get kind of annoying you know."
"Well, that's Conner." The woman stated.
"Not to be rude or anything," Sam said suddenly, "But what is your name? And who are you? No offense but I don't exactly trust people I don't know. Even if they did used to work for the power rangers."
"That's quite alright." The woman responded. "And I don't expect you to trust me at all. Just as much as Kyle here knows that Conner will always wear red."
"How do you know my name?" Kyle asked in awe.
"I know you're parents. And your grandparents." The woman replied. "I used to work down here, with your grandpa."
"Speaking of your grandparents," Calvin interrupted, "Who exactly where they? I mean, we know they lived here and all. We just don't know who they are."
"Well, Dad's dad is Adam Park. And Mom's parents are Tommy Oliver and Kimberly Hart." Ada answered. "Mom, Uncle David, and Grandpa used to live here. I bet mom never knew about this place though."
"Oh, she did." The woman said. "She and David used to come down here all the time with their dad. There was no one else in the house to watch them after all. I had to do it during the battles, not that I really would have cared about doing it at any other time."
"Yes, but who are you?" Jordan questioned. "I think we can trust you now."
The woman smiled. "My name," She said, "is Hayley."
Crystal was once more standing in front of the room full of rangers. Much like herself, three of them were surrounded by a colored aura. Well, sort of anyway. White wasn't really a color.
The only woman, Crystal recognized as the one who had talked to her that day in the hall. She had been so nice. Too bad she had never said what her name was. This woman was surrounded by a pink light.
The man who was by this woman was surrounded by a white light very much like the one surrounding Crystal. She recognized him as well. He had been one of the people with that woman on that day.
The final person who was 'glowing' was another man. He was surrounded by a blackish light. Maybe this didn't mean that Scarlette would be surrounded by black if she walked in here. Crystal knew without a doubt that these people were good. These colors served another purpose.
Crystal took a deap breath, her decision made.
Cautiously, Crystal stepped toward the person closest to her. Which happened to be the woman in pink. Slowly, Crystal extended her hand so that it was right next to the woman's arm. In one swift movement, she plunged her arm through the light and it connected with a solid arm. In more hesitant movement, Crystal drew the arm out of the pink light and into the white.
As soon as the woman's arm was free of the pink light, her fingers began to flex themselves. Crystall took this as a good sign and removed the rest of the woman's body from the pink light.
The woman blinked rapidly. She faced Crystal.
"What just happened?" She questioned. "How did I get here?"
