Chapter Eight: "A Different Shade Of Jade"
Adam had been up all night, not because he wanted to the reason was he couldn't sleep. The thoughts passed through Adam's head about what had happened earlier that evening. That branded mark, on Jade's right upper part her back. The diamond surrounded by a circle with a snake running through it. That was the mark of Devitra's clan. Something happened in the past that caused him to know of this Devitra, it occurred the last year of himself as a Power Ranger. He wondered how this was all going to turn out.
Jade slept but she kept having the event repeat over and over and over again, but she usually never returned. Each repeated nightmare added something else to it they were getting worse.
Jade felt herself pull a strange gun from her body, she couldn't control it, the darkness surrounded her. Her friends and family lay helpless on the ground. She shot at each one of them, the blood spattered…
"NOOO!!! DAADDDYYYY!!!!" Jade woke up screaming.
Adam heard his teen daughter scream, the young father ran into the room, using such amazing tactics to avoid tripping over her things on the floor.
"Jade!" Adam said concerned. Also the fact that she called for 'daddy' instead of 'dad' it has been years since his daughter used 'daddy'.
"Daddy!" Jade said as she wrapped her arms around him, with tears in her blue eyes.
Adam put his arms around her, the mark on Jade's back seemed to have heated up with a small glow coming from it. Seconds after Adam touched it, the heat started to disintegrate and the glow faded. Jade continued to hug her father with tears seeping into his shirt. This surprised Adam a little since she had never hugged him this long since she was a young child. It did remind Adam a little of Nina, Jade's mother, who he hasn't seen in a long time.
One thing Adam knew when he first found out Jade was a girl was that the teen years would be crazy: mood swings, boyfriends, spending money like crazy (though she hasn't done that yet), and other female stuff. Adam was glad he didn't have to explain some things to Jade it would get awkward, that's what his mother, Jade's grandmother, was for.
Adam held his teary-eyed teenage daughter in his arms. Sometimes that's all a girl needed, or so he thought, personally he didn't know what else to do.
Jade settled down after a while, she pulled away from her father and wiped her eyes. Adam was glad his shirt was soaked with tears. The teens eyes dried as she sat a few feet away from Adam on her knees and closed her eyes. This was a meditation position, she learned it being a student in her father's Karate class. A few moments later Jade took a deep breath and opened her blue eyes.
"Are you goin to be alright?" Adam said looking at his daughter.
"I think so dad" Jade said. "Thank you"
"Your welcome kiddo, I'll be in the other room if u need me alright." Adam said.
"Okay" Jade said as she crawled back into her bed.
Adam watched her for a moment and then went back into his own room and tried to get some sleep himself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jade?" someone said
Jade snapped out of her daydream, to look at the five others sitting at the table.
"What?" She said sharply.
"Are you alright? You've been in a daze all day it seems." Gina said.
"No I haven't" Jade denied.
"We called you 3 times…" Colton said.
"Oh?" Jade said.
"Didn't sleep well did you?" Aiden asked.
Jade nodded. Aiden was pretty good at guessing what was wrong with people it surprised Jade a little but over time she had gotten used to it.
"That explains a lot of things then." Alanna said, fixing her dark ponytail.
"What are you talking about Alanna?" Jade said sharply.
Gina and Alanna looked at each other, Gina raised her eyebrows, Alana shrugged. Alanna looked back at the 14 year old girl .
"Well daydreaming a lot is one thing, snapping at people is another…." Alanna said.
"And almost fell asleep in your sandwich…if that's possible." Gabe said.
"Gabe!"
"Well she almost did when she was daydreaming" Gabe shrugged.
They all continued talking, Jade started to block it out. And for some reason she was getting annoyed something that usually didn't happen around her friends. A shock from the right side of her back made its way to her brain like some sort of electric shock. It wasn't the burning feeling she had when she was shot at that night it hurt a bit more than that.
"Loose them" a strange voice said in her head.
As in one quick movement Jade had packed up her stuff and stood up.
"Gotta go bye" she said quickly.
Jade ran out of the cafeteria, leaving the others with confused looks. She could feel the electric sensation going through her body, she didn't like it at all. Yet something else was telling her that this electric sensation was normal. The teen had gotten outside and soon felt herself being teleported. She was snatched from the ground outside of the school and as if flew, with a dark beam of light surrounding her. The teleportation took only a few seconds she had fallen to the ground on her hands and knees. It was stinging. Jade groaned.
She looked at her surroundings, it seemed like a desert surrounding a large strange looking building. The building was metallic, it seemed so familiar another look and she knew exactly where she was. The ship had been planted into the desert ground.
"What the heck!" The teen exclaimed as the shocking sensation ceased.
Her body without her knowledge was moving toward the ship, her brain started to fog and change into some sort of military state. In front of the girl a woman stood. The girl bowed down to the woman.
"I am here mistress." The girl said in a hypnotic voice.
"Perfect" The woman said looking at the teenager bowed down to her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colton looked through the door from the table as his 14 year old friend run through the cafeteria doors.
"What the heck just happened?" Colton asked in his sharp voice standing up from the table.
The other four stood up as well the rangers exchanged glances.
"Look what you did Gabe" Alanna muttered under her breath.
"I don't think Gabe did anything Alanna" Aiden said putting a hand up to his red hair and sounding a bit dazed.
"We should go find her." Gina said in her soft tone, moving a piece of blond hair from her eyes.
"Rangers!" Colton felt a tickle in his ear.
"Guys no time to find Jade" Colton whispered to the others.
The others each felt tickles in their own ears.
They nodded gathered their stuff and ran out of the cafeteria. Down the deserted hallways of Angel Grove High they went, classes were still going on. They made it to the janitors closet.
"Is the coast clear Aiden?" Colton asked his red headed friend.
"Yeah, lets go" Aiden answered.
They each took another quick look around then crowded into the Janitor's closet. Alanna felt around and pulled a hidden lever. The floor opened up from below them as they slid through a tunnel into an anteroom with a large door surrounding the door were five silhouettes. At the same time they each put stones into the frame of the door.
Colton put a red stone into one the Tiger silhouette.
Alanna put a yellow stone into the Eagle silhouette.
Gabe put a blue stone into the Shark silhouette.
Gina put a pink stone into the Fox silhouette.
Aiden put a green stone into the Dragonfly silhouette.
The silhouettes glowed the color of their gems, the door opened diagonally and the teens walk into a large room with a very colorful carpet. The door closed behind them. Around the room were computers, teleporting devices, viewing globes, television sets, cameras and more. A silvery glow came from almost everything. It was a nice place for a command center.
Sitting at one of the computers was an older man with graying beard and moustache. He didn't have much hair on his head. His features were sharp yet his eyes were wise. He was wearing jeans and a long-sleeve shirt in his hand he held a cleaning brush, and he wore sunglasses.
"What is it Ravid?" Colton asked.
The older man transformed into a younger version of himself. Long black hair, the wrinkles faded, his ears became sharp, but his eyes still stayed the same sharp and wise.
"Devitra's got another monster, and it looks as if that's not the only thing she has" Ravid said.
The teens went over to the computer to see what Ravid was talking about.
"Oh my gosh!" Gina exclaimed in her soft voice.
"It looks like…" Alanna started.
