It was about seven in the morning when Damien woke up. He got up and got ready for the day. He let his long black hair fall down into his eyes, like always.
After he was ready, he walked into the command center. There were no signs of life, other than Cruger.
"Morning Damien." Cruger said.
"Morning Cruger, where's everyone at?" Damien asked.
"Asleep probably, do you even know what day it is?" Cruger asked.
"Um. No?"
"It's Sunday, but more important, it's Valentine's Day." Cruger said.
"Oh, well then. I think I'll go out for a walk. I'll see you later." Damien said.
He saluted Cruger and walked out of SPD.
XxX
Damien was walking around the city.
Valentine's Day. It's such a stupid 'holiday'. I don't even think it should be considered one. I mean really. But whatever. Damien thought.
He was so deep in thought, that he didn't even see the girl in front of him. He ran right into her. They both fell over.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" He said.
"It's okay. Haha." The girl said as she picked herself off of the ground.
When she turned around, Damien got a good look at her.
She was about 5 foot 5, with black hair (and red tips) pulled up into pigtails. The thing that amazed him most was her eyes. They had a fire color to them.
"Hi. My name's Damien Manx." He introduced himself. (Yes, he does use Kat's last name.)
"Hey Damien, I'm Isabel Knight." She said.
"What are you doing out here this early in the morning?" Damien asked.
"I was just taking a walk. I like to take them to be with my thoughts. Why were you out here? Hum?" Isabel asked.
"I was doing the same." Damien asked.
"Great minds think alike." She said. She smiled at him.
He wanted to get to know this girl.
"So, Isabel, do you have anything you have to do?" Damien asked.
"Hum…. Nope. I'm free. Why?" Isabel asked him curiously.
"I was wondering if you would like to go out to breakfast with me?" Damien asked.
"That'll be great." Isabel smiled at him again.
XxX
"So, do you work in SPD?" Isabel asked.
"What makes you think that?" Damien asked.
"Well… you seem strict, you're posture's perfect, and you just have that look about you." She said.
"Yes I do actually." He told her.
"Oh wow. That's cool. I wanted to join, but I don't think they'll take me." Isabel said in a low voice.
"Why not?" Damien asked.
"Well I can fight and everything, but I'm…. Different."
"Define 'different'." Damien said.
"I can't show you here." She said.
They were still in the diner.
"Okay. When we're finished eating, you can show me. So you're interested in SPD?" Damien asked curiously.
"Yea, I'd love to join." She replied.
They finished their breakfast, and they walked to an abandoned area.
"Okay, so what can you do?" Damien asked.
"This." Isabel said. She held out her palm, and a flame appeared in it, "I can control fire."
"Oh wow. Trust me Cruger would want you in there."
"What do you mean? I'm different." Isabel asked.
"You'd fit in just fine. I can control Darkness and each of the Rangers have powers too. I'll introduce you." He said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her to SPD.
XxX
When they got back to SPD Damien and Isabel walk into the Command Center.
"Cruger, can I talk to you for a minute?" Damien asked.
"Of course."
"Oh and you too Mom." Damien said to Kat, who was typing on a computer.
Kat and Damien exchanged looks.
They walked out into the hallway.
"Damien, who's this?" Kat said indicating to Isabel.
"Mom, Cruger, This is Isabel Knight. She has powers like me." Damien introduced.
"Hello." She said.
"Hello Ms. Knight." Cruger and Kat said.
"Please, call me Isabel. It's a pleasure to meet you both." Isabel said.
"Well Isabel, what's your powers?" Kat asked.
"I, I can control fire." Isabel said.
"Interesting." Cruger said.
Just then, Z came running out of the Command Center, "D.C Kat! Something's going on down town."
They ran back into the Command Center and Kat headed straight for the computer.
"Kat?"
"I can't get a clear visual, but it looks like krybots." Kat said.
"Rangers, go!" Cruger ordered.
Damien and Isabel started to leave, but were stopped by Cruger, "Damien go. Ms. Knight I want you to stay here."
Damien left and Isabel stayed behind.
XxX
When the Rangers and Damien got there, there was no signs of Krybot activity. They looked around and found a note that read:
Dear Rangers,
I'm pleased to inform you that you have fallen for my trap. By the time you've found this note, I'll be in the Command Center. I hope you have a nice day (:
Love,
Jester (:
The Rangers exchanged worried looks and Jack pulled out his morpher.
"Kat! Commander!" Jack yelled.
"Yes Jack? What's wrong?" Kat asked.
"Is everything alright there?" Jack asked.
"Yes Jack everyth-"but there was an explosion.
"Kat! Commander! Someone! Answer me!" Jack yelled, but no answer came.
Jack looked at the Rangers, "Let's go!" He said.
XxX
Kat heard Jack call out.
"Kat! Commander!" He sounded worried.
"Yes Jack? Is everything alright?" Kat asked.
"Is everything alright there?" he asked.
Kat gave Doggie a funny look, "Yes Jack everth-" Kat didn't get to finish.
The Command Center doors blew open.
"What the?" Cruger growled.
When the smoke cleared, there was a man standing in the doorway. He face had painted a skull on his face and he wore a jester's outfit. It was half black and half red. He also carried a scythe.
"Hellooooo to all" He said happily.
"What's the meaning of this? Who are you?" Cruger growled.
"Mwa? Oh, how rude of me! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jester, but you can call me Jes." Jester said.
"What do you want?" Kat asked.
"Well no you see that's the fun part. Gruummy told me that I'm supposed to kill you. But you're pretty so I think I'll keep you." He said as he walked towards Kat.
Kat backed away, but before Cruger could move Jester pulled out his scythe and extened it out around Kat's neck. Kat couldn't move, if she did, she'd get hurt. Jester started pulling the scythe closer to him, forcing Kat closer to him. When Kat was in arms length, he grabbed her.
"Let her go." Cruger growled.
"I'd rather not. She's pretty and then I wouldn't be doing my job now would I? Gruummy would have my head. AHAHAH. We can't have that, now can we?" He asked.
"You're mental." Kat said.
"Yes yes I am. Thank you." Jester said back, "Oh well, look at the time, it's time to go." Jester said.
He reached behind him and pulled out little skulls.
"It's time to make our exit." He said.
As he threw the skulls to the ground, Isabel jumped at him. The skulls exploded and then they were gone.
Not again! Cruger yelled mentally. He slammed his fists on the control panel.
XxX
The Rangers showed up about fifteen minutes later.
"What happened?"
"Wow."
"Commander!"
"Where's Mom and Isabel?" Damien asked.
Cruger was sitting in his chair trying to think of a way to get them back.
"Cruger!" Damien yelled.
Cruger's head snapped up. He hadn't even heard them. He was too deep in though.
"Where is my mom and Isabel?" Damien asked slowly.
"He- He took them." Cruger said.
"Who?"
"Jester."
The room fell silent.
XxX
Okay this is getting ridiculous. Next time I'm kidnapped, I'm going to kill them. I mean honestly. What is this the third time? Really? Why do people like to kidnap me? It's not fun. You'd think they'd learn. Doggie comes to save me every time. Kat though.
She and Isabel were chained to a wall. Jest had left some time earlier. They had no clue where he went, but he was not improving Kat's mood. Before he left, he started singing.
"How are you holding up Kat?" Isabel asked.
"I'm fine. This isn't the first time." Kat said.
"Really?"
"Really." Kat said.
"Oh wow. That must suck." Isabel said.
"Trust me Is, it does." Kat said.
"Well how about we get out of here?" Isabel asked.
Kat looked at her, "how do you expect to do that?"
"I can melt the chains." Is said. To back her sentence up her hands started to turn red, and the metal chains melted. Isabel landed on her feet when she fell. Then she walked over to Kat. "Okay, don't move. Okay?" Isabel asked. Kat nodded.
Isabel melted Kat's chains. "Alright, let's go." Kat said.
They snuck around. They had no clue where they where at.
"There's a window." Isabel whispered.
When they got to it they looked out.
"Oh great." Isabel said.
"What?"
"We're by the ocean. To be specific, we're on a cliff." Isabel said.
"Great. Is, can you open the window?" Kat asked. Isabel tried but nothing happened. Isabel opened her palm and placed it flat on the window, when Isabel removed her hand, the glass was gone. It had melted.
"Let's go."
They crawled out of the window and started running away, but were stopped by Jester.
"Woah Woah woah! You don't just leave." Jester said.
He pulled out his scythe and walked towards them. He swung with them, until they were at the edge of the cliff. Kat looked down to see sharp rocks and water. Not a good combination.
"Oh great now what?"
"You die." Jester said.
He swung once more at Kat. Kat ducked waiting for it, but it never came. When she looked up, she seen Isabel standing in front of her with a fire scythe blocking Jester's scythe.
"Uh hun. Weren't you ever taught how to play nice?" Is said.
"No, I was taught how to play dirty." Jes said as he kicked Isabel in the stomach.
Isabel stumbled backwards and knocked Kat over the ledge.
"Kat!" Isabel yelled. She jumped after her.
Jester clapped his hands together and walked away laughing.
XxX
Isabel caught up with Kat and she grabbed her hand.
"Hold on!" Isabel said. She opened her free hand and fire came out it pushed them over. They fell into the water instead of the rocks.
When they hit the water Isabel let go of Kat. Isabel fell at least ten feet into the water, Kat fell fifteen. Isabel reached the surface first and gasped for air, and then she started looking for Kat. She yelled Kat's name. When she didn't get a reply she got worried. She swam back under the water. She seen Kat almost right away. Kat was tangled in seaweed. She couldn't move.
Isabel swam to her and helped untangle her. Then they swam to the surface. They each took a deep breath then swam to the shore.
"Kat? I have a question." Isabel said.
"Yes?" Kat asked. She was ringing the water out of her close.
"First thing let me help," Isabel said, she shot a ring of fire around Kat and she dried off almost instantly. Then Isabel made it disappear, "Second, how are we going to get out of here?"
"Climb up." Kat said.
"I thought you were going to say that." Isabel said.
Kat laughed and started climbing. Kat reached the top before Isabel did (because of her reflexes). When Isabel was close enough, she pulled her up. Isabel laid on the ground for a minute. Meanwhile Kat called to Cruger.
"Doggie? It's Kat."
"Kat! Are you okay?"
"Yea. I'm fine thanks to Isabel."
"Great where are you?"
"I'm not sure exactly, but we're near an ocean."
"Okay, we're on our way."
"Okay."
When Kat turned around, Isabel was on her feet. "Back away from the edge now." Isabel said.
Kat did as she was told, then Kat seen why. Jester was back.
"There's no way you could have survived that!" He yelled, "How'd you do it?"
"We're magic." Isabel said. She formed her fire scythe and he pulled out his.
"There's no such thing as magic silly." He said.
Isabel charged at him, scythe ready to take his head off. He and Isabel fought, but neither was gaining ground.
"Knock his scythe out of his hands!" Kat yelled.
Isabel looked at her, "okay."
Isabel backed off and swung upwards with her scythe. She made contact with his, and it flew out of his hands and over the edge. Kat walked over to him.
"Jester, you are charged with attempted murder and kidnapping!" Kat said she stuck her communicator out (which does have judgment) and yelled "Judgment" The bottom screen flashed with an 'X' and Kat pointed her communicator at Jester, "Confinement!"
Jester was put into a card.
"Few, I'm glad that's over." Isabel said.
"Me too."
"One question." Isabel asked.
"Yes?"
"Why didn't you do that in the beginning?" Isabel asked.
"They can't be armed or else they can attack you while you while you're judging them." Kat said, "But you'll learn that stuff soon enough, because I'm going to talk to Cruger and get you into the academy." Kat said.
Isabel looked at Kat in shock "Really?"
Kat nodded and Isabel ran up and hugged her. "Thank you!"
Kat heard the sound of Cruger's ATV and what sounded like Jack's bike.
"They're coming to get us. They'll be here any minute." Kat said.
Doggie appeared a minute later with Damien. Kat was right, Damien took Jack's bike.
"Kat! You're alright!" Cruger exclaimed with joy. He ran up and hugged Kat, "I thought I lost you again."
"Never." She said and she hugged Doggie again, "Oh and Doggie, what would you say if we added another one to our collection of cadets?"
Doggie looked at her, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. She saved me. She'd fit right in." Kat said.
"Okay."
They walked over to Damien and Isabel.
Cruger spoke first, "Ms. Knight, I would like for you to join SPD. Will you?"
"Yes Commander." Isabel said.
"When we get back, Kat will give you your handbook and uniform." Cruger said.
"Well then, what are we waiting for! Let's go!" Isabel yelled.
She rode back to SPD with Damien. Kat rode with Cruger, both girls fell asleep on the boys' backs.
M'kay so what do you guys think? It's longer than my other chapters I know. Ahah. xD
Sorry I took so long to update btw.
