Chapter Nineteen: Audrey Awakens

Mallory Parker had just walked into her bedroom and turned off the light when she was suddenly not in her room anymore, or her house for that matter. She was on the floor of some very strange place. She got up and began looking around. She saw her sister on the floor near her and two guys she didn't know. She also saw. "James?" She asked. Last time she had seen James, he was in Orlando, but now she was in Angel Grove... wasn't she?

Alana heard her sister's voice and stood up, facing her. "Where are we?" She, too looked around. She saw James and the other two boys, all three were standing now. She also saw nine other people. One of which, she recognized. "Coach?"

Mallory turned and saw her old gymnastics coach. "Kim?" She didn't know any of the other people standing in the room. She drew what comfort she could from Mallory, James and Kimberly being there, but having just moved and now being in such a strange place, the feeling of that alone was very unsettling.

James walked over to the Parker sisters, he knew them and he sort of knew Kimberly. He had dated her star gymnast and went to many of the practices and meets. "Miss Hart? Where are we?" He asked. That seemed to be the question on everyone's mind. Where are we?

Conner and Trent watched the other three, they seemed very scared and knew one another. They had a feeling this had to do with the power rangers. "Dr. O?" Conner spoke up, seeing his old science teacher and former ranger mentor. "Why are we here?"

Tommy stepped forward. "I guess it's time to answer those two questions." He turned to Kimberly. "Since some of them know you, would you mind helping?" She nodded. She joined Tommy by his side. "You're the new team of power rangers, minus one."

"Are you the other?" Trent asked Tommy.

He shook his head. "The other is in another room right now, unconscious."

At that moment, Alex walked in. "I can't stand to see her restrained like that anymore." He stopped when he saw five newcomers. He looked at Tommy and Kimberly who happened to be the closest to them.

Tommy nodded. "Don't worry, I hope she'll wake up soon." He turned back to the new rangers. "I'm not sure what colors you will be."

Conner opened his mouth.

Tommy cut him off. "I know, you were a red. You watched the video, so you know that I've been multiple colors."

Conner nodded.

Jason laughed. "Yes, Tommy is our resident Christmas tree."

All the former rangers in the room laughed.

Tommy rolled his eyes and continued. "We are going to be sending you to Phaedos to acquire the powers of the Ninjetti." He explained. "We have the six former Ninjetti rangers here, in addition to three other former rangers. We will be your mentors and we expect you to look to us for any help you may need."

All five of the new rangers listened and nodded. The three newest had trouble understaning. What did he mean by rangers? What was Phaedos or Ninjetti?

"Your first task upon your return may very well be fighting one of your own. She was put under a spell and made evil. We're unsure of her state at the moment. If she wakes up and the spell has been broken, she will be joining you on your Ninjetti quest."

Alana took this time to speak the questions on her, Mallory and James' minds. "What kind of rangers? What is Phaedos and what is Ninjetti?"

Tommy nodded to Kimberly. "Mind explaining this one?"

Kimberly nodded. "Mal, Lana, James. I'm a former power ranger. The power rangers are a group of people chosen to protect Earth from evil. You are three of the new group."

The three of them looked at one another, confused. "How are a seventeen year old, an eighteen year old and a twenty-one year old going to save the planet along with these guys." Mallory asked. "Sorry, I don't kow your ages, but you look to be close to our ages."

Conner and Trent nodded.

"I was fifteen." Kimberly told them. "So was Tommy." She motioned around the room. "Everyone in here was between the ages of fifteen and seventeen when they were first chosen.

"Including us." Trent spoke up.

"Where am I?" A voice called from another room. Mallory looked at her sister.

Alana turned to Kim. "That sounded like Audrey."

Alex took that time to run back to the room. Audrey was awake and he wanted to see her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Audrey?" He asked as he walked into the room.

"Alex?" She asked, hearing his voice but not seeing him.

He moved closer. "How are you feeling?" He asked her.

"I have a killer headache." She responded. "Why am I restrained." Her heart sank as memories hit her and hard. She was restrained because of the things she had done. Tears began falling from her eyes and she wanted more than anything to turn away from Alex so he wouldn't see her like this. "Can you get these off me, please?" She pleaded.

"I'll be right back." Alex said, walking out of the room.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dr. Oliver?" Alex said, walking back out to the main room. "She's awake."

Tommy nodded. "I'll be right back." He told the new teens.

"She's crying." Alex said sadly.

"That might be a good thing." Tommy responded, walking over to the other room.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How are you feeling?" Tommy asked as he walked into the room.

"Like crap." Audrey said with double meaning. Aside from her head hurting like hell, she felt horrible for the way she'd been treating people.

"Are you aware of what's been going on the past several days?" He asked her.

She nodded, more tears falling. "I'm sorry..." She whispered.

"I know." Tommy said. "I'm going to remove the restraints now." He removed them and helped her sit up. "Now, before we go into the other room, I want you to know there are several people out there, most of which you won't know. Kim, Alex and Jason are among them. Is there anyone you want to see alone before I take you out there?"

Audrey nodded. "I want to see Alex again."

Tommy walked out of the room and a few seconds later, Alex appeared. "Hey." He said, walking over stand by the table she had been laying on.

"Hey." She said softly.

"Head still hurt?" He asked.

She nodded. "Worse, if possible."

"I'm sorry."

She shook her head. "No, I'm sorry." More tears fell from her eyes.

"Don't be. I'm just glad you're back."

Audrey smiled weakly. "Thanks to you." She looked at him for a moment. "Alex?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you mean it when you kissed me?"

Alex nodded.

Audrey jumped off the table and hugged him. "I like you too." She said softly.

He leaned down and kissed her.

This time, she kissed him back.

A/N: What will Audrey's reaction be when she sees her friends?
