Chapter 7
"Well, it would seem that we have something that belongs to you." Kai said.
Each of the rangers, now powered down, held out two glowing orbs to give to Jo. She shook her head.
"I don't want them." she said.
"Why not? They're really powerful. And they belong to your family, so they're yours." Maya looked confused.
"You guys keep them. If I take them they'll sit in a pot until I pass them on to the next generation. I'd rather you guys used them to fight evil and save people." Jo explained.
The rangers looked at each other.
"Or, you could use them and fight alongside us. We could definitely use the help, with Trakeena and Scorpius still out there." Damon suggested.
"You mean it?" Jo asked, hopeful.
"Of course!" Kendrix shouted. The six rangers held out the orbs. One by one, they flew towards Jo, sinking into her skin and becoming part of her.
"Whoa. This is some intense power." She whispered before her entire body was engulfed in a white light. When the light died down, Jo was wearing a white suit and helmet with silver armor. The amour had black engravings from each of the Zodiac signs. Then there was another bright flash and the armor was gone, leaving Jo standing in front of the rangers.
"Well, this should be interesting." She said, smiling. Leo walked over and hugged her tightly.
"We couldn't have done it without you." he whispered.
"But...I didn't do anything..." She mumbled.
"My goodness girl! How thickheaded are you! The boy is completely head over heels in love with you! Now would you get on with the romance already!" Kendrix shouted, exasperated.
"Is that true?" Jo asked. Leo's face turned bright red.
"Well, uhm, I probably wouldn't go as far as love...but yeah, I like you a lot." he muttered. Jo grinned.
"Well, red ranger, it just so happens that I like you too." She said. He hugged her tightly again.
"Okay, well, as much as I hate to break up this love fest, I want to go home. A day of battling evil sure does make a person hungry." Damon piped up. The girls glared at him as they wiped tears from their eyes.
Jo's stomach grumbled.
"Well, I could go for a burger right about now. I'm starving..." Everyone laughed.
"Alright guys, time to head back home." Leo said with his arm still wrapped around Jo. The other rangers began to walk back towards the ship. Jo lingered, looking at her demolished home.
"Are you gonna miss it?" Leo asked her quietly.
"Of course. It was my home. But it's gone now, and there's nothing left to do except move on with my life. Besides, you guys are gonna need my help." She replied. Leo smiled.
"Come on, let's go home." The two of them walked back towards the ship, the sun and the past behind them.
The End
