Chapter 5: trust the lies ignore the truth
With your terrified face you attempt to make up.
You lay out your case like the enemy.
But all that you got through dirty white lies;
You're finding the correct way of blaming me for your crimes.
Would you talk to me?
Don't walk or run away.
I'm onto your yesterday
with empty eyes.
I don't know where I'm going
in search for answers.
I don't know who I'm fighting,
I stand with empty eyes.
You're like the ghost within me
who's standing by me.
It's like my soul I see through
Like through my empty eyes,
Right through my empty eyes.
I'm about to give in, I got nowhere to go.
Afraid of the sins, I'm holding on.
There's no other way, no doubt in the end,
but I ain't got a thing to lose, nothing to defend.
Would you talk to me?
Don't walk or run away.
One month later
Tori and Tommy's house
Tori checked to see if everything was perfect. She made sure that her hair was curled to perfection; her make up wasn't smudged and that her outfit looked incredible which in her opinion it did.
Instead of her usual blue clothes Tori wore a navy off the shoulder top with a black tank top under it; she also chose a pair of dark blue demies and her grey converse. She wanted to look good for her boyfriend…boyfriend. She still couldn't believe it; she was going out with Blake! After their date Blake had asked her out on the inside she was screaming but on the outside she acted all calm and chilled.
For the past month everything was going smoothly, there hasn't been an attack from monsters or the mysterious rangers Zordon warn them not to let their guard down they never know when they will chose to attack.
Apart of Tori wanted to just let her guard down and just be normal teenager but Zordon was right, they had to be cautious and be ready for anything.
"Hey Tori your boyfriend's here," her mother shouted. Tori could feel her face heat up. Yes she and Blake were dating but that didn't mean she wanted her mother to shout it out. Grabbing her bag she rushed to the door before her mother can embarrass her some more.
When she got down she saw the sexiest man leaning against the door. Did he had any idea how good he look in black leather?
Blake notice that his girlfriend has arrived he looked at the girl that he hate to admit but was slowly making her way to his heart.
He smirked when he saw what she was wearing.
"I see you decided to wear my color?"
Tori blushed and decided to play the dumb blonde.
"This is your color; I thought it was a light blue shirt,"
"Tori you're a bad liar," he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to his body. Kissing her forehead he whispered.
"But you're my liar,"
The two heard a coughing sound they both turned to see Tommy staring at them with a playful glare.
Blake released Tori but grabbed her hand.
"Hey Tommy,"
"Hey Blake," there was an awkward silence between them Blake knew that Tommy was okay with them dating but he still had his overprotectiveness not that he blame him, he was the same way with both his sisters.
"Umm…we'll see you at school k?" she pulled Blake before Tommy could say anything. Blake laughed at her eagerness to leave the two got to his bike and hopped on.
"So blondie any reason why you decided to wear my color?" he asked.
"What can't a girl who loves blue wear navy for one day?"
"Not if said girl has a boyfriend that loves navy,"
"Well maybe she wore it to impress him?"
Blake turned around not caring if Tommy was there or not.
"Well if she was trying to impress him then I say she did a good job." He kissed her lips catching her by surprise, before she could reply he pulled back and smirked at her reaction.
"Plus I like navy on you better than blue," he turned back to the front and started the bike, Tori just wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head between his shoulder blades with a huge smile on her face.
Tommy watched the kiss between Tori and Blake, even though his brotherly instincts kicked and he wanted to go and punch Blake in the face he realized that he was being irrational, after all when he and Kim went out (hopefully) he wouldn't want Blake to make it awkward for them.
With Kim and Hunter
The two were driving in comfortable silence something was bugging Kim and she wanted to ask but at the same time didn't.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
Oh well might as well ask.
"What were you doing Saturday when Blake Trini and I were on our dates?"
The car jerked back and forth from Hunter's stop.
"Why?" he asked.
"Well when I got home I found Blake alone and then a few hours later Trini came and when I woke up you were finally home."
"Oh, um…well…you see…hey look there's Trini," the two turned to see Trini getting out of Jason's car.
"Hunter…"
"Yeah?"
"I'm worried,"
"About what?" he asked.
"Jason is getting too close to her, don't get me wrong I want someone to break that wall of hers but I think he might get close to her and…"
"Kim I know what you mean but trust me, Trini knows what we need to do, she wouldn't ruin it for a certain red ranger,"
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"Would you ruin our mission for a certain blond?"
Hunter looked at his sister, he wasn't sure how to answer that question.
"Umm…"
"Trini knows you like her,"
"Yeah, I figure she was the one that told you and Blake,"
"Pretty much,"
"Look, I like her but I wouldn't risk our mission for her."
"I know what you mean I mean I like Tommy but…his leader killed our mother, that's something I won't forget,"
The two heard giggling turning see Blake and Tori.
"I just hope that none of us get hurt in the end…" Kim said.
Something tells me that someone's going to get hurt either way…
Hunter thought even though he didn't want to admit it he knew that in the end someone was going to get hurt who he wasn't sure and to be honest he didn't want to know.
XxXxX
Hunter enter his first class, he looked around and found what he was looking for.
"Hey numb-numb," she said with a smile.
"Numb-numb seriously?" he asked shaking his head in amusement.
"Yes,"
"Alright air head,"
"Air head? Umm who helped you in your geography homework?"
"Who got an F on her calculus test?"
"Hey I was really sleepy that day,"
"Sorry,"
"About what?"
"You were dreaming about me and my good looks kept you up all night,"
Kapri blushed bright red truth be told she has been having dreams about a certain blond but she refused to admit to that.
"No I haven't,"
"Really why are you blushing?"
"Ca-cause I can,"
"You're blushing cause I'm right,"
"No,"
"Kapri a blush never lies," he said grabbing a strand of her hair and twirling it around his fingers.
"Don't worry beauty, I've been dreaming of you too." He released her hair and turned his head to the front of the board. The bell rang signaling that class was starting.
Kapri felt her heart beat increase as he admit it that he was dreaming about her. Maybe he did like her; maybe she had a chance with him maybe…
With Kim and Tommy
Kim sat in her English class not bothering to pay attention. Her mind was too preoccupied with remembering her conversation with Zeltrax.
Flashback Saturday
"Zeltrax I need your help,"
"With what?" the cyborg asked his charge.
"I'm slowly liking the white ranger Zeltrax I can't like him for obvious reasons."
"Aside from the fact that you're the princess of the dark empire, planning to kill his mentor, and are actually using him I agree with you Kim,"
"Yes those are the reasons why I can't like him so…what do I do?"
Zeltrax finished cleaning his knife he placed it on the table and look at his friend.
"Kim, I cannot tell you how to ignore your feelings I mean I can but,"
"But what?"
"You have emotions and emotions are a warrior's greatest weakness no matter how easy it is to ignore them they try keeping their way back in. Sometimes you just got to let them,"
"So what you're saying is that even if I ignore my feelings they'll just be there,"
"That is exactly what I'm saying princess,"
"But I don't want them to be there, in fact I want them gone I don't want to like him,"
*Sigh*
"Kim, no one ever said this was going to be easy. You can act on your feelings or you can act like they're not there,"
"Okay acting like they don't exists is something I can do I mean I've done it before so why should this be any different,"
Zeltrax looked at the warrior, one thing he learned from the princess was that she inherited her mother's kind heart in fact whether the four wanted to admit it or not they all did. They could ignore their humanity but sadly it always clawed its way back up. It was one of the reasons why Sally was a fantastic warrior, instead of ignoring her emotions she embraced them she accepted the fact that she had feelings and because she accepted that little fact it made her stronger.
"I hope the four of you know what you're doing,"
"Of course we know what we're doing,"
Something told Zeltrax that they were saying that to convince more themselves than anyone else.
"Kim there is always someone out there that will knock down every wall you built, whether they know it or not someone will tear down every wall or defense said person built. Even the strongest must fall."
End of flashback
"Ms. Hart!" Kim was snapped out of her daydream by the teacher.
"Huh what?"
"I said what did Edgar Allan Po's poem meant?" Kim looked at the poem they were currently reading.
"Umm that no matter what the world throws at them he and his lover will still be together that not even death can keep them apart,"
"Good, I see that I was wrong and you proved me right," the teacher went back to teaching while Kim went back to thinking.
"You have emotions and emotions are a warrior's greatest weakness no matter how easy it is to ignore them they try keeping their way back in. Sometimes you just got to let them,"
Tommy looked at the young girl for the past hour or so she seemed too preoccupied with something, what it was he wasn't sure but he hoped that she trusted him enough to tell him.
XxXxX
"Are you okay?"
Kim looked at the white ranger she smiled at him.
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
"I don't know, you seem quiet and you're normally the one talking it's like you and I switch roles or something,"
"I'm just thinking about things,"
"What kind of things?"
Should she tell him? No that would be stupid but then again she could lie and say it was her sister but that will get her in trouble so she did what she always did.
"It's private,"
"Oh," he was hoping that she would share but he could see that whatever was bugging her was her problem and she wasn't in the mood of sharing.
He let it slide and decided to ask her again some other time.
The two enter the cafeteria and sat next to their friends. Everyone was talking and Kim decided to talk to Tori.
Tommy was glad that his sister and his new best friend were getting along.
"So Tommy why don't we have that rematch today?" Hunter asked.
Tommy smirked.
"You're on Hunter just don't expect me to go easy on you,"
Hunter smirked.
"You go easy on me? Please I was the one going easy on you," he said pointing to the teen clashed in white.
The two just laughed and 'argued' about who was weaker than who. Kim smiled as she watched her brother and friend playful arguing.
"You have emotions and emotions are a warrior's greatest weakness no matter how easy it is to ignore them they try keeping their way back in. Sometimes you just got to let them,"
Even though she knew Zeltrax was right it didn't mean that she had to act on them, just like with the death of her mother she could ignore them and hope that in the end she knew whatever was going on she and her family can get out of it alive.
After school
Ernie's juice bar
Both teenagers were warming up for their spar when their communicators went off.
"Ummm…rain check," Tommy said he and the other rangers ran to stop the threat that was attacking their city.
Blake, Kim, and Trini ran up to their brother. The four of them ran outside checking to see that no one was here they knew what to do.
"You guys ready?"
"Ready,"
"Thunder storm ranger form,"
"Saber tooth tiger,"
"The crane,"
With the others
"You guys ready?"
"Ready,"
It's morphin' time!"
"Mastodon!"
"Triceratops!"
"Pterodactyl!"
Tyrannosaurus!"
"White tiger!"
"Ready?"
"Ready!"
"Ninja storm ranger form ha!"
"Power of earth!"
"Power of water!"
"Power of air!"
The rangers ran to the enemy already knowing who would be waiting for them.
At the construction sight
The eight rangers stood in front of their enemies.
"Well, well, well look who decided to show their ugly faces," Zack taunted. The other rangers just stood there not even bothering to make a move.
"What's the matter to afraid to attack?"
"Let's get this over with," the crimson ranger said. Pulling out his staff he ninja streaked to the others; slashing the blue and black ranger. The yellow navy and pink rangers pulled out their own weapons and charged at them. The other rangers pulled out their weapons and charged right back.
Blake took on Tori, Kim fought both Tommy and Shane; Trini was handling Jason, Zack and Billy, while Hunter battled Katherine and Dustin.
"Lion hammer!" the yellow ranger pulled out his hammer jumping in the air he slammed his hammer to the ground causing the ground to shake. Hunter took out his blaster and shot both Kat and Dustin.
The siblings got together while the rangers got up and walked towards each other.
"Shall we?" the crimson ranger asked.
"Oh yeah,"
"Let's put them together than,"
Kim took out her power bow; Trini her power daggers, Hunter his thunder blaster, and Blake his navy antler. Kim threw her power bow while Hunter threw his blaster connecting the two; Blake put his navy antler sticking outside the blaster while Trini's daggers were sticking with the antler.
Kim and Trini were on the ground while Blake and Hunter were standing up.
"Ready?" Trini asked.
"Fire," Hunter ordered. They shot the blast before any of them could react the blast shot them causing them to fall to the ground.
The rangers slowly got up.
"Shall we take this battle to a whole new level?" Trini asked.
"You know it saber tooth,"
The two thunder rangers pulled out two communicators that looked like some type of bug while the females did the same.
"Crimson Insectizord,"
"Navy Beetlezord,"
"Saber tooth tiger,"
"Crane,"
A zord crashed out of the mountains while a blue one jumped out from some hills. A yellow saber tooth follow by a crane came to join the battle.
"Let's ride," the four jumped into the zords.
"Let's show these posers how it's done,"
"Beetlezord ready to ride,"
"Systems are good to go,"
"Like crimson said let's show them how it's really done,"
"Great they have their own zords!" the earth ninja asked.
"Now is not the time Dustin," Billy stated.
"Alpha, Kapri we need our megazords now!" Tommy said.
Alpha sent the rangers their zords while Kapri and Marah sent the wind rangers their zords.
"Let's go," the rangers jumped in and got in their own megazords.
"Well this should be interesting,"
The white and red rangers attack the crimson while the navy ranger used stealth mode to hide from Billy and Tori. Kat and Zack decided to take on Kim, while Dustin and Shane battled the yellow ranger.
"Okay crane show this pterodactyl what you're made of," the two pink rangers flew around each other both shooting at each other. Kim looped around Kat and shot her blaster at Zack. The blast hit home, she then twist around as Kat continued to shoot.
Hunter was shot by the tyrannosaur and the tigerzord.
"Alright we got him,"
"Don't celebrate to soon rangers," Hunter raised his blaster and waited for the target.
Kim smirk behind her vizord she then tilted left while Hunter shot. Kat saw that the pink ranger led her to a trap. She moved right and the blast hit her left wing.
"Guys I'm hit!" right before Tommy or Jason could act Hunter shot Jason while Kim shot Tommy.
Trini circled her prey looking for an opening. When she spotted one she leapt and clawed yellow lion. Dustin was hit but he could see that there was no critical damage. Shane circled the two, he shot missiles at the yellow ranger. Trini looked up to see the missiles heading her way, before she could act the blue ranger's zord was thrown her shielding her from the attack giving her enough time to move before the zord crushed her.
"That was a dirty move!" the light blue ranger yelled still looking for the navy ranger. Thanks to his stupid stealth mode he snuck up on them, grabbing Billy he tossed him aside right before the yellow saber tooth could be hit.
She then felt her own zord being lifted.
"This is a battle sweetheart, we have no time to play nice," he started to spin her around. Tommy and the others got up.
"Hey let go of the fish!" Dustin shouted.
"Very bad choice of words," the four said. Blake released the dolphin making her crash into Tommy and Jason.
"Are you okay?"
"I think so,"
"Okay enough of this, time to end this."
"Right!" everyone agreed with their leader.
The rangers combined their zords. Hunter stared at the two megazords before them.
"Well about time they started to get serious," Trini mocked.
"Yeah, now it's our turn!"
Hunter, Blake, and Kim combined their zords as well. Hunter's became the head while Kim became the chest, Blake became the arms and Trini became the legs.
"Thunder megazord ready for action!"
"You got to be kidding me! First they have their own zords now their own megazord?"
"Very observant of you yellow ranger now shall we?" the three zords fought but the thunder zord had the advantage in speed, whenever one of them would attack their enemy would doge it. He would kick and punch them and move out of the way.
"Alpha wasn't kidding when he said these guys were good," Kat commented.
"No he wasn't activating thunder blasters," Kim punched in some codes. The megazord shot a huge thunder bolt hitting them right in the center.
"Uh Marah we can use a power disc,"
"Right sending power disc,"
Trini smirked behind her vizord.
"That's it my little bug sent us that little power boast," Trini logged in on the command center's computer.
"Alright here you go Dustin,"
The power disc appeared on Dustin's zord.
"Alright thanks Marah," right before he could get it the disc disappeared.
"Hey,"
"Interception at the goal line and the thunders are running it back for a touch down! Activating power spear,"
The sphere opened and the rangers saw their weapon.
"How the hell did they get that?"
"You can thank saber tooth for that one my young friends, yellow sure knows their stuff,"
The rangers used the war spear, slashing the rangers' megazord on the chest. They then kicked them.
"He's at the fifty the forty the thirty" they said together.
The siblings cut the ninja's megazord as easily as cutting a piece of cake while blasting the others. The megazords exploded as they fell to the ground still exploding.
"Shall we do a touch down dance on their heads?"
"No their down that's enough, for now…"
Kapri and Marah saw the damage the thunder rangers have done to their friends. Kapri grabbed one of the communicators and started speaking into it.
"Hello guys can you hear me, guys?"
The rangers were knocked out cold.
"Oh no we need to go to them, Alpha beam us back,"
"Will do,"
Kapri and Marah arrived at the racing tracks knowing that their friends would be close by; what they didn't expect was their new set of friends running towards them.
"Kapri, Marah something happened,"
"What do you mean?" Marah asked.
"There were these three giant robots fighting and well…"
""What Kim is trying to say is someone got hurt and we need your help like now," Trini said her voice filled with concern.
"Okay let's go," the six ran to where the explosion was.
XxXxX
The rangers were slowly regaining consciousness they saw the damage of their zords and knew they had to get out of them. With their remaining strength they ejected themselves out of the zords.
Once they were out they powered down and walked away from the mess. They made it at least a mile away before they saw people running towards them.
"Oh my god Tori!" the blue ninja ranger looked up and saw her boyfriend running towards her. The others followed him.
Blake grabbed Tori right before she fell to the ground. He picked her up bridal style, the others went to help their friends.
"Are you guys alright?" Kim asked worried for them.
Tommy looked at the petite girl as she draped his arm around her shoulder. Trini helped both Billy and Jason while Hunter checked on Shane and Zack, Marah helped her boyfriend out and Kapri made sure that Zack and Kat were okay.
"Yeah we're okay,"
"Okay someone better explain to me what the hell just happened?"
Jason looked at Trini her eyes filled with concern. Great the one time he wanted to see emotion on her face and it wasn't the right time for him. A part of him was glad that she was concern for him but then again she was concern for all of them.
"Nothing, don't worry about it Trini we're fine," Zack said.
"Are you guys kidding me? Tori can barely stay conscious and you guys looked like you were run over by a semi and you have the nerve to tell us you're okay?" Blake said.
"Okay we're not okay but don't worry about us we'll be fine," Billy assured him after all this wasn't the first time this happened.
Blake took a calming breath so he wouldn't snap at them.
"Fine,"
"Do we need to take you guys to a hospital?"
Tommy really hated lying to her but he had to in order to protect her from his enemies and his secret.
"No it's fine," Kim and Hunter shared a look.
"Why don't we all go to our house? Our car is close by and we can take you guys there,"
"Sounds like a good idea," Shane said.
The six helped their friends into the van and drove off.
XxXxX
The siblings Kapri and Marah helped Dustin, Tommy, Jason, Tori, and Shane out of the van. Zack, Billy and Kat told them to drop them off at Billy's house he wanted to do something and the two volunteer to go with him.
Trini knew what they were really going to do, one look from Hunter and she nodded her head to confirm his suspicions. So the two smart ones and the lay back one go to the command center to try and fix the zords huh?
Kim released Tommy and opened the door. The eleven teenagers enter the house. When they got in Kapri Marah and the boys (Tori was sleeping in Blake's arms) admire the house. The room was full of bright colors. Pink, orange, yellow, crimson, navy, purple, and grey; colors that didn't go together but clashed with each other perfectly.
The house was large and brightly lit. Kapri and Marah admire the work of the house it was by far the most beautiful house they've ever seen.
"Wow, your house is…"
"Thanks our mother loved colors and well we kinda decorated the house the same way she always had it in all our other houses." Kim informed them.
"You guys rest on in the living room, I'll take Tori upstairs so that she can rest," the boys nodded their heads.
Blake headed for his room he gently placed the blond on his bed. He couldn't help but admire her beauty sleeping like that she looked like a princess. He stroke her face and was glad that he or his siblings did no damage to her lovely face and that the megazord's fall had left her with no bruises or cuts. He heard footsteps coming from the hall, he turned and saw his cyborg friend.
Zeltrax was sent back to earth to inform them that their father was at a council meeting and would like it very much if they stayed here instead at the Moon Palace he beamed into Kim's room. She wasn't in here but he sense her presence in the living room. He walked out of her room and spotted the door to Blake's room open he was about to close it when he spotted the navy ranger and his 'girlfriend' in the room.
Zeltrax eyed him and the blond.
"Do I want to know?" he question.
"We attack the rangers we 'saved them' and now the yellow, both reds, the white, and the blue's cousins along with her-" he jerked his thumb to Tori, "are here with us,"
"…you and your siblings are the weirdest people I have ever met," he said shaking his head. Blake just laughed.
Zeltrax looked at his longtime friend, he knew that the boy had feelings for the girl but like Kim and the others he chose to ignore them.
"Your father wanted me to inform you that he would appreciate for you and your siblings to sleep here for the night,"
"Council meeting?"
"Yes,"
"Alright,"
The cyborg headed back to Kim's room knowing that was the only place he was probably safe.
Downstairs
Kim made some tea and handed it to the others.
Jason couldn't believe how good the tea was. He knew this wasn't one of those cheap store bought teas that they sell but organic and was actually a lot better than any tea he ever drank.
The group sat down in the living room. They heard footsteps coming, everyone turned to see Blake walking to them
"Umm…dad call he said he had a business meeting and will be coming home late,"
In other words he wants them to stay here until the next day.
"Alright but I think you guys should stay with us,"
"What why?" Kapri asked.
"Because it's raining," Trini pointed out. Everyone looked outside to see that it was pouring rain and from the looks of things it wasn't going to light up any time soon.
"Well looks like we're crashing here for the night that is if you guys don't mind," Jason asked.
"Not at all Kim why don't you and I start dinner?"
"Sure,"
"We can help you guys if you want," Marah volunteered.
"Sure thing," the four girls walked to the kitchen to prepare dinner while the boys hung out.
"You guys want to play some video games?"
"Sure,"
The boys played a few video games. They even played God of War which Dustin was really good at. The girls were in the kitchen cooking. Trini suggested that they ate Mexican so she made some tortillas chile de porquo and yellow rice.
The girls gossiped about everything they could think of.
"So Trini,"
"So Kapri,"
"Rumor has it that a certain boy wants to take you to the dance," she said in a sing song voice. Trini tried hard not to blush but was clearly failing.
"Wh-who?"
"Oh come one Trini even I know who wants to ask you to the dance," Kim said smirking at her sister's reaction.
Trini swallow a lump that was beginning to form.
"So Jason wants to ask me to the Halloween dance?"
"Yes!" all three girls shouted at the same time.
Once again Trini blushed like crazy. She just continued to cut the meat while ignoring the others taunting her.
Tori woke up and had no clue where she was. She looked around and saw the walls were painted navy she saw posters of motocross riders and a few picture frames here and there. One picture stood out, it was a picture of a beautiful woman. She had lovely curls tan skin and a beautiful face that would rival any models. But what really stood out what really caught Tori's eye was the woman's eyes, she could see her eyes were different colors it was hard to tell which one was her true eye color.
"She's beautiful isn't she?"
Tori turned around and saw Blake leaning against the door frame smiling at her.
"Yeah she is who is she?"
"She's my mom," he walked up to the picture. It was of him and his mom. He was sitting on her lap while she had her arms wrapped around his waist.
"She's really beautiful; may I ask what happen to her?" Tori looked at her boyfriend who's happy smile turn into a frown. Tori would do anything to take the pain away from him, she didn't like that look on him. To her him being sad did not belong on him.
"I'm sorry you don't have to-"
"She was murder, we don't know who did it but losing her…it felt like we lost an important part of ourselves."
"I know what you mean, when Tommy and I lost both our dad and our grandfather it felt like someone just stabbed me in the heart and was slowly pulling it out,"
Blake walked up to Tori; he wrapped her in a hug. Tori was too beautiful to be sad she was an angel who deserved to be seen smiling not upset. If he could Blake would take away her pain and make it his own.
Tori wrapped her arms around him and brought him closer. She was really lucky to have a boyfriend who not only understood her pain but could find a way to make her better.
Blake wanted to see her smile and he knew a perfect way to do it.
He grabbed Tori and quickly snuck her to the back door. The two got out and saw it was pouring like crazy.
"Umm…Blake what are we doing?"
"Something my mom use to do with us whenever we were sad,"
He pulled her out and the two started to play in the rain. Tori chased him while Blake spun around right before she was about to get him. The two played around in the rain, Tori threw her head back and stuck her tongue out to get some water in her mouth. Blake just laughed, when she looked at him he ran to her; he picked her up bridal style and spun her around. Tori wrapped her arms around him laughing like a little kid.
Once he settled her down he peak her cheek causing her to blush. The two grabbed each other's arms and spun around together.
When they got dizzy they let go and landed on their butts.
"Well that was fun," Blake said laughing.
"Yeah it was,"
"Blake!" the two turned and saw an angry Trini.
"Hey Trini," he said casually waving at her.
"Get your fat butt in here! Dinner is ready"
Blake got up and helped Tori up.
"Come we better go in before your sister gets mad at us,"
She was about to walk in but right before she could Blake grabbed her and spun her around. Right before she could say anything Blake crashed his lips with her. Tori couldn't help but wrap her arms around him and pulled him closer to her body. The two kissed for two whole minutes but pull apart due to Trini yelling at them to get inside before they got a cold.
The two ran in laughing like a bunch of idiots.
Trini gave them towels to dry off.
"Dinner's ready so hurry up and get dress," the two just laughed and headed up stairs.
Blake handed her one of his old sweats and a navy t-shirt,
"Here you go now you can really wear my color," he winked at her and left her so she could change in peace.
Once she was change the two headed for the dining room. The teenagers ate their food making comments about how good it was and that they were enjoying it.
"Dude this is the best food I've ever had,"
"Agree,"
Everyone laughed and enjoyed making conversations with each other. Everyone was having a great time and for a moment they forgot all about their troubles.
The next day
Angel Grove High School
Tommy and Kim walked to the library to look for another book to read.
"So did you like Perfect Chemistry?" she asked as he was picking up the second book to the trilogy.
"It was alright," he lied. He didn't want to admit it but the book was really interesting he read it twenty times and was still not bored of it.
"Right," she checked the library to see if she could fine any book that she may like.
*Gasp*
"You guys have this?" Tommy looked over her shoulder to see what book was in her hand.
"Umm…I guess we do," he asked laughing a bit.
"Hey I love this book okay?"
"What book don't you love?" he playfully asked.
"Good point," she grabbed the book while Tommy grabbed the second book to the Perfect Chemistry trilogy.
The two walked out of the library.
"So did you enjoy your meal yesterday?"
"Yeah it was actually really good when did you learn how to cook like that?"
"My dad and mom thought that everyone should learn to cook so they taught us all how to cook different styles of food."
"Huh,"
"Sorry that you and Jason had to sleep on the couches,"
"Actually it was better than sleeping on an actual bed,"
Kim looked at him in disbelief.
"No really it was," he said honesty.
"Okay I believe you," the two headed back to class. Tommy looked at the posters. Halloween was in a week and the dance was in a week. It was now or never.
"Kim I was wondering,"
"Yeah?"
"Would you…go to the Halloween dance with me?"
Kim felt like her heart was about to jump right out of her chest. She wanted to shout yes but she had to act cool and calm. Giving him a sweet smile she answered.
"I would love to go with you to the dance Tommy."
Tommy wrapped his arms around her and spun her around. Kim laughed along with him, when he put her down Kim gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Come on we should get to class before Mrs. O'Kelly starts looking for us,"
"Right," the two walked forgetting the fact that they were holding hands.
After school
With Tori and Bake
Tori and Blake decided to walk her job. The two decided to let their friends hang out with each other while the two walk. They were holding hands.
"So want to come over tonight and watch a movie with me?"
"Sure but I'll have to be home by ten my mom was pretty mad to know that I slept with you,"
"Does she know that you and Marah slept in my room while I slept in my brother's room?"
"Yeah but my mother is on the verge to protect her daughter from losing her virtue to the boy she's been dating for a month."
Blake laughed; he gave her hand a nice squeeze.
"Well your mother has nothing to worry about, my dad taught me to respect women so neither of you have to worry about me stealing your virtue, unless you want me to." He said winking at her.
Tori blush a light rose color trying not to blush the same way the stupid navy thunder made her blush. She didn't want to admit it but both Blake and that stupid navy ranger could make her blush the same way. It also disgusted her that she was comparing them both. Blake was such a sweetheart while the navy ranger was a jerk!
"Well here we are blondie,"
"Thanks thunder boy,"
"What?"
"Oh in your room I saw that you had thunder boy written on your wall hope you don't mind that I used it,"
"No, no not at all."
He gave her a quick kiss.
"Have a good day,"
"Thanks,"
"I'll pick you up later alright?"
"Sure thing," Tori walked in, she saw her friend Kelly looking at her with a huge smile spread across her face.
"So that's your boyfriend?"
Tori blushed.
"Yeah he is,"
"How did a sexy boy like that got stuck with a girl like you?"
Both girls turned to see the one person that everyone hated.
"Well Amy apparently he likes girls who are real and not girls who are fake,"
Amy just rolled her eyes and left.
"I swear that girl is gonna cause problems for all of us,"
"I know but still what if Blake starts liking her?"
"I highly doubt that from what I saw he really likes you,"
"Yeah you're right,"
The two went to work on their job feeling more relax now that Kelly assured her of everything.
XxXxX
Tori was on break so she decided to head to the beach since it was close by. When she got there she sat down and wished she brought her bathing suite.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed the peace.
"Aww the light blue ranger is enjoying herself isn't she?"
Tori's eyes snapped wide open she got up and got in her stance. The navy thunder ranger was leaning against his staff. Blake eyed Tori up and down he really was enjoying the fact that she was wearing a low cut shirt and he could see her breasts from it.
"What do you want?"
"Just came to see how my favorite ranger is doing that's all."
"Yeah right,"
"Your right now let's see how much damage I can do to you sweetheart,"
The thunder ranger charge at her, Tori waited until he was close enough before she leapt behind him. Blake turned around while Tori tried to side kick him. Blake grab her leg and twisted her around.
"Whoa," Tori landed on the ground Blake pinned her arms above her. Tori didn't dare move since he was straddling her.
"Well sweetheart? Are you going to fight me or are you to scare?"
He lean in and whisper.
"Don't worry love, no one will know but us." She blushed a deep red color deciding that enough was enough she pulled her hand away from his and punched him right in the groin. Blake felt pain and got off of her holding his jewels in his hand. Tori got up and knew she could either fight him or run.
She checked her watch and saw that she had five minutes of her break remaining. Well it was no contest on what she was doing.
She ran as fast as she could.
"This isn't over blondie," he grumbled in pain.
"Not by a long shot."
Tori reached the shop and tried to look calm as possible. When she enter she saw Hunter and Kapri.
"Hey you guys," she said casually.
"Hey Tori,"
"What brings you guys here?"
"Well I'm about to take air head here on a little joy ride,"
"Hub, well have fun you guys." She waved at them as they got their helmets and left the shop.
XxXxX
Hunter and Kapri arrived at some random place that Kapri told him about.
"Hop on,"
"What?"
"You heard me, hop on."
Kapri smiled and did as she was told.
"Now hold on cause you never know when I may go crazy or not."
*Giggles*
Hunter started to ride while Kapri held on for dear life, even though he will never admit it he was enjoying the fact that Kapri was holding onto him for dear life.
Every now and then he would look back to make sure that she was enjoying the ride. From what he was seeing she was enjoying more than the ride.
When he reached the spot that he wanted to be the two got off. Kapri admire the view that they were seeing.
"Wow, this place is amazing."
"Yeah you are," he said. Wait did he really just said that?
Kapri laid down and patted the spot next to her. Hunter laid next to her and the two watched the clouds go by.
"Look that one looks like a puppy," he looked at the deformed cloud and laughed.
"Looks more like a cat,"
He looked around for a shape.
"Look that one looks like a dragon fighting a shark,"
"More like a worm fighting a shark,"
The two just laughed. For some reason this reminded him when his mother was alive.
Flashback
"Look sweetheart what does that look like?"
"I don't know a butterfly?"
*Chuckles*
"Sweetie you have to have an open mind just look and use that childlike mind of yours."
Hunter looked at the cloud and smile.
"It looks like a butterfly fighting a shark who's protecting a princess," Sally smiled and hugged her boy.
"That's it! I knew you got your imagination from me and not your father." She started to kiss him, Hunter laughed as his mommy kisses tickle him.
End of Flashback
"Hunter are you okay?"
"Huh what?" he zoned out and didn't even realized that Kapri was talking to him.
*Laughs*
"Nothing you just zoned out,"
"Oh sorry about that,"
"It's fine, may I ask what you were thinking about?"
Hunter looked at the sky, Trini, Blake, and Kim already told the people they cared for why shouldn't he?
"My mom,"
"Your mom?"
"Yeah I was just thinking of a day that was similar like today,"
Kapri looked at the sky.
"I also lost my mother when I was two, right after Marah was born."
"I never said I lost my mother,"
"You didn't have to, from your tone I could tell that she was either dead or not here."
"Oh," the two became quiet afterwards.
"Tell me about her, what was she like?" Kapri asked him.
"She was beautiful, smart, caring. She had daddy issues but my dad saved her from him and even though she was abused every day of her life she was still a sweet caring person."
Kapri stayed silent not really sure how to process what he just told him.
"I'm sorry,"
"Don't be one thing my mother hated was when people pity her, if they sympathies with her then she was okay with it but if they pity her she was not okay with it. She didn't like it when people tried to comfort her when they didn't even know what was really going on."
Hunter looked at the young blond.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
He shared something personal with her so why shouldn't she?
"When my mom died my dad abused me, not physically but emotionally it was so bad that it got to the point where I started to cut myself, afterwards words weren't enough so he started using his fists, this went on till I was ten and my aunt saw the bruises and knew that what he was doing so she called the police and had him arrested. Marah and I have been living with our aunt ever since."
Hunter turned to his side wrapping his arms around her he pulled her to his side and just held her. No words needed to be said and at the moment all Kapri wanted was for this day to never end. Hunter was wishing for the same thing. He wished that time would stop allowing him to have this moment with her.
At the Lunar Palace
Zedd watched his son holding the blue ranger's cousin in his arms. Zedd could easily see both him and Sally in the two.
Kapri sharing a painful past, Hunter holding her so that she doesn't fall apart it was as if he was looking in a mirror only difference was that Hunter wasn't him and Kapri wasn't Sally.
Zedd looked at the necklace that was originally Sally's. When his kids started this mission they had no emotions for any of the rangers in fact the only emotion they had for them was the intention to kill now he could see that his kids were having a myriad of emotions
For Hunter he could see that he wanted to protect Kapri from danger he was slowly becoming her personal knight in shining armor.
For Blake Zedd could see that he wanted to shield Tori from harm, protect her from everything including himself. He could easily see hesitation in his son's movements when it came to attacking her.
Trini Zedd could see that Jason was slowly breaking down her walls, even though she would never admit it he could see that she was slowly going back to the carefree child he knew and love.
And Kim…his beautiful daughter Kim…she was enjoying being a teenager and even though he didn't want to admit it she was slowly liking the white ranger, Zeltrax even inform him about it.
He didn't want any of his children to get attached…to any of them but one look at them and he already knew that the process was starting. He could only hope and pray.
Hope that his children fought and got out alive and pray that none of them got hurt…
I'm onto your yesterday
With empty eyes.
I don't know where I'm going
In search for answers.
I don't know who I'm fighting,
I stand with empty eyes.
You're like the ghost within me
Who's standing by me.
It's like my soul I see through
Like through my empty eyes.
Ooh, please, won't you give in to me?
Won't you finally speak truth from lie?
With your terrified face you attempt to make up.
You lay out your case like the enemy, like the enemy.
With empty eyes.
I don't know where I'm going
In search for answers.
I don't know who I'm fighting,
I stand with empty eyes.
You're like the ghost within me
Who's standing by me.
It's like my soul I see through
Like through my empty eyes,
Right through my empty eyes
