Hey guys, here's the next one! This one is gonna go by a bit faster than the others and is mostly a filler, besides October getting her new powers. Hope you enjoy it, though!

Bellona is portrayed by Caitlin Stasey

Saturn sat impatiently in his throne, his calculated eyes observing the two large human like creatures stalk into the room, looking around with their mouth's watering. Saturn watched them with a bored expression, waiting for them to finish their task.

After a few moments, the two giants stopped in front of his throne, getting down on one knee and bowing their heads to Saturn. They stood up after a while of doing so, and looked up at him.

The two giants looked like enormous people, standing around ten feet tall, with shawls of fur resting on their broad shoulders. The man was bald-headed while the woman had long unruly hair, with extremely pale skin and large black eyes. Their lips were dry and cracked, and their teeth were all individually sharpened to a point. The two were menacing.

"You've finally arrived," Saturn drawled, looking them over lazily. "I've been expecting you."

One of the two, the man, stepped forward. "We apologize for our lateness, great Saturn, but most of our people have been killed off by many so-called 'heroes,'" He spat disgustedly. "It is only us and our daughter left of the Laestrygonians,"

"Well, you'll be happy to know that I have an opportunity for you two and your wife to destroy some heroes," Saturn smirked, leaning forward in his throne. "The new demigods, if you'd like."

"And we can have them?" The woman asked, wringing her hands together greedily.

"Oh yes," Saturn nodded. "Just as long as you make sure they'll never come back to bother anyone again. Antiphates, what do you say?"

The man licked his lips, a ferocious look crossing his face. "I would love to have the opportunity, sir."

"What about your wife?" He looked over to her for confirmation.

Antiphate's wife gave a simper. "I wish for nothing more." She turned to Antiphates. "Tonight, it seems we'll be dining on rangers."

Saturn crossed his arms, satisfied with this conclusion. He watched them mumble amongst each other, before they slowly made their way out of the room, leaving him to himself.

- Cue Opening 2 -

Bella and Jackie were going for a morning run together, chatting lightly as they jogged through the streets and over to a park, where they planned to take a break before they had to go back to their houses. They had been doing this often throughout the weeks, especially since they had gotten closer as friends.

The two continued through the park for a bit until they reached the point where they usually stopped. Jackie made it to the bench first, taking a moment to catch her breath as she waited for Bella to make there as well.

Once she did, the two began to stretch as they always did. "Good run, huh?" Bella asked, looking over at Jackie as she stretched her leg on the bench.

"It was satisfactory, yes," Jackie confirmed. "As it is everyday. I am unclear as to why you question me every time."

"Just to be nice." Bella chuckled. "It's like asking how someone is doing or something like that. Things can change with time."

Jackie nodded. "I see. That is understandable." She paused for a moment. "Did you feel the run to be satisfactory?"

Bella smiled, "I did, thank you."

The white ranger fidgeted with her hands for a bit. "Bella?"

"Yeah?" Bella looked up, noticing her friend's demeanor. "Everything okay?"

She looked almost nervous. "I am regularly told by others that I am emotionless and cold, and I do agree on a logical level, as I am Minerva's daughter - she is, of course, known to be purely logical and not emotional. I do not regularly understand others, and they often do not understand me. I have been wondering why you are different than them? There is no reason for you to believe any differently than anyone else."

"There is a very big reason for me to believe differently." Bella stood up straight, looking at her sincerely. "You're not actually like that, and I hope you don't really believe that about yourself. You may struggle with social cues and have a logical approach to things, but you are not the way they say you are. You care about others and you do have emotions, even if you don't know how to express them."

"Are you positive?" Jackie asked.

Bella put a hand on her shoulder, and was pleased when Jackie didn't shrug it off. "Yes, I am. I'm not the only one who feels this way either - the others feel the same way, I'm sure."

"You're the only one that truly shows it all the time," Jackie responded. "The others are my friends and are kind, but they don't really understand like you..." She trailed off, before speaking again. "I have been told that I should thank those who are kind to me, so thank you for your friendship, Bella."

"I wouldn't change it for the world," Bella assured her.

Just as she said that, they heard a twig snap from nearby. Both girls perked up and looked off to the side, looking around for any signs of life. Surprisingly, they found that the park was completely barren, when it was usually filled with people.

The two exchanged looks and Bella gestured for Jackie to be quiet. They got into slight stances and began to slowly walk forward when a large girl jumped out at them, swinging a club.

She was about 7 feet tall with a fur shawl and sharpened teeth. The two immediately moved to grab their lockets, when she roared at them and slammed her club into the ground. The force of the club made the ground ripple like water beneath their feet, and caused Bella and Jackie to be thrown into the air and hit the ground hard.

Bella hit her head on the bench as she was thrown, and it knocked her out almost immediately. Jackie sat up in alarm at her friend limp on the ground with a head injury, and got up from the ground, glaring at the girl.

She ran forward unmorphed, throwing punches and trying to bring the large girl down to the ground, to no avail. The girl grabbed her by the neck and lifted her into the air.

"I will enjoy feasting on you tonight, little one," The girl growled, baring her teeth to Jackie.

Jackie struggled from the girl's grip, but her hand was so large and strong that she didn't really stand a chance, especially unmorphed and with Bella unconscious. She still fought, however, hoping one of the others would come soon.

Her vision began to dwindle as she continued to have her air supply cut off and her struggle died down. She made one last weak jab at the girl's face before she fell unconscious.

The girl smirked and threw Jackie over her shoulder, before doing the same to Bella and walking off with them.

Luca and Eliza were sitting on the beach, Luca practicing with his abilities on the water. Eliza, of course, couldn't use her powers anymore as Jupiter had removed her ability to do so, but she didn't mind helping her half-brother with his training.

The blue ranger used his hands to bring the water up into a geyser-like way, as well as moved it in an unnatural way that would never work without Neptune's powers. He was concentrating quite deeply on it, but he soon had a confused expression on his face and turned to Eliza, letting the water drop back down.

"Can you.. or could you, before Jupiter took your powers, sense things?" Luca asked. "Like the sound of water and other things help me know where objects and people are, even if I can't see them."

Eliza nodded. "Echolocation. It's another one of the perks of being Neptune's child,"

He raised an eyebrow in surprise. "I had no idea."

"It's a power that's hard to figure out that you have." Eliza explained. "I mean, most hardly notice they have it unless it's brought up."

"I definitely have a lot to learn," Luca sighed.

"Yes, and no," Eliza told him. "You know more than most demigods, and you're more powerful than them too. It's not just because you're a ranger, it's why you were chosen as one."

Luca smiled softly. "Thanks, for telling me that. Sometimes that's exactly what I need to hear."

"Anytime," She smiled, watching as he pulled the water up again.

In all honesty, Eliza was a bit jealous as she watched Luca use his powers - powers she knew that she would never be able to use again. She wouldn't ever say anything about it to him, but it made her yearn for a time when she was capable of the same.

She would never regret doing what she did to get her powers taken away, though she would always wish it had all worked out differently. Eliza was hardly a demigod anymore, when she was supposed to be someone to help out if needed.

Now, she couldn't do that even if she tried, and if she did try, she would likely be struck down by Jupiter faster than she could attempt to harm a monster.

Losing her powers was worth the attempt to save Mari, but it was also unfair. Eliza was only trying to do what she felt was right and she didn't think that she deserved to be punished for it.

Either way, however, she was glad she got to at least try to save her friend.

"You okay?" Luca's voice cut through her thoughts, and she turned to look at him in surprise.

Eliza nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking about..." She trailed off as she saw something in the distance. "Luca, I think we may have a problem."

Luca looked behind him at the large woman stomping towards them, and stood up immediately. He reached for his locket but his arm was grabbed by the woman and he was pulled up into the air. He winced at the pain in his shoulder from the action and kicked his foot out at her chest, but it barely made a dent.

The woman flipped him over her back before flipping him forward and slamming him hard into the sand. He gasped as all of the air was forced out of his lungs and hastily tried to pull air back in. Luca quickly put his hand towards the ocean and used the water to spray her back.

She was shoved down to the ground by the force of the water, but moved out from under it and twisted Luca's hand behind his back.

Eliza immediately tried to jump into action, even if she didn't have powers anymore. She ran forward and kicked the woman in the face, but her foot was caught in her mouth instead.

"Get off of me!" Eliza exclaimed in shock, ripping her foot out of the woman mouth. When she did so, however, she found she could barely stand on it as it was bleeding heavily and felt possibly sprained.

The woman stood to full height and punched Eliza in the side of her head, making her fly back and hit the ground hard.

When Luca looked back to see if she was okay, he found her laying motionless on the ground. He growled under his breath and attempted to get back up but the woman stepped down on his back. He wheezed out a breath as he felt a few ribs snap under the pressure, until it became too much and he fell into unconsciousness as well.

After the woman was sure he was out, she hoisted Luca over her shoulder and walked away, leaving an unconscious Eliza in the sand.

Aiden was walking back to October and Ryder's apartment, where he was now renting a room. He had decided to get up early to get them some food for breakfast, and was currently going down the way back to deliver it to them as a thanks for letting him live there.

He was humming a bit to himself as he walked down the street, having been in a great mood since he woke up. Aiden figured that probably had to do with things actually going right, at least for a little while.

Even if it was only for a short time, Aiden was immensely grateful for the way things were. He had a place to live, a job, a great girlfriend, and amazing friends. For the first time in a while, he felt very hopeful for the present and the future.

Of course he knew there were still going to be attacks from Saturn, but he knew they could beat anything he threw at them. He was legitimately confident in their abilities to come through on top, and that's not something he could say often.

Insecurities were a big problem with him, and always had been. He has rarely ever been able to be confident in something he did, so for that to actually happen once in a while, Aiden wouldn't knock it down.

Confidence was actually a trait Aiden admired wholeheartedly. He saw it especially in October, which was one of the things that attracted him to her the most.

She was definitely different when they were younger - almost a whole different person, even - but she had always been confident in herself and her actions. Even back when they were in elementary or middle school, Aiden saw it in her. He knew that wasn't the only reason he was attracted to her for, there were plenty of things he could list, but that was a very big one.

Smiling to himself, he continued to walk down the street and was consumed by his thoughts. He was thrown out of said thoughts, however, when a large, blunt object hit him in the back and sent him flying to the ground.

He moaned in pain and looked behind him, seeing an extremely large man standing over him with a club in his hand.

"Great, just what I needed today," Aiden quipped, holding his hand out at the man, creating a harsh gust of wind to push him back. The man was obviously a bit affected by the strength of the wind, but not by much. "Fuck," Aiden whispered as the man reached down and lifted him up into the air.

The man looked him over. "Jupiter's son... I'll be saving you for my meal."

Aiden stared in shock. "Meal?"

"Say goodnight," The man took Aiden and swung him into a nearby wall, making him smack his head and fall unconscious. The man then lifted him onto his shoulder with ease and took off, just as Aiden's phone began to ring with a call from Liela.

Mercury watched the events play out from up on Mount Olympus, shaking his head and sighing. He turned back to the grand throne room, seeing a goddess sitting elegantly behind him, her calculating eyes watching him.

She was a beautiful woman with long brown hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. She stood at a short stature, and had an outfit that seemed to combine Greco-Roman armor and a dress. While she looked elegant and regal, she was also clearly a seasoned warrior with calloused hands and a hard look on her face.

"Bellona," Mercury looked her over. "What brings you here?"

"I was wondering the same about you." Bellona told him, her eyes never leaving him.

He chuckled a bit. "I'm here because I'm worried about what Janus said. We've always had a somewhat clear picture of the future, but now its unclear. I must admit that it scares me a bit."

"Nothing should scare a god," Bellona said. "But I agree that it is troublesome. Were you watching the rangers?"

"Yes," Mercury nodded. "Four out of six were just kidnapped by the remaining three Laestrygonians."

"Those teenagers must at least try a bit harder," Bellona growled. "If they cannot handle it, they do not deserve to be the only thing between us and Saturn's reign. We cannot have him come back, Mercury."

The messenger God ran a hand through his hair. "Yes, you're right." He was silent for a moment, before speaking up again. "Vesta just gave the yellow ranger a new coin. You, I, and some of the others still have coins we haven't given up. Perhaps you should go and give the remaining ranger your coin."

Bellona raised an eyebrow, "What makes you think I would want to do that? For all I know you could be sending me to give it Mars' son, who already has the powers I possess."

Mercury smirked. "Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of Venus' daughter."

"You must be joking." Bellona rolled her eyes. "You want me to give Venus' daughter - the daughter of the Goddess of love and beauty - my power coin? Forget it."

"Why not?" Mercury crossed his arms. "She's proved time and again that she's a great ranger and powerful warrior."

She stood faster than Mercury could speak any further, coming right up to him and hissing, "I am a great and powerful warrior. She is practically there to be beautiful and attract love. The powers she possesses are hardly those of a true warrior." She pulled away and chuckled. "I would be surprised if any of her boyfriends really loved her or if it was just her powers."

"I think you know that's not true," Mercury scolded her. "Just because she can attract people with her beauty doesn't mean that she can create love. She can't make someone love her, although once one is intertwined, it is extremely easy to do so. Besides, those are not her only abilities."

Bellona scoffed. "Regardless, it's not going to happen."

He thought for a few second, and then spoke up. "If you gave her your coin, it would make her a better warrior and would increase your appreciation as a goddess."

"I..." Bellona trailed off and looked up at him, before sighing and nodding. "Perhaps."

Mercury gave an amused simper. "Perfect."

October burst into the command center worriedly, having gotten a call from Liela that all of the others, besides herself and Ryder, who couldn't fight yet, were missing. Eliza was also injured badly with a severe concussion.

She walked up to the infirmary door, finding it closed and locked. She walked around to the windows in front, where she saw a curtain up, preventing her from seeing Eliza or Liela.

"Damn it," October cursed under her breath, running a hand through her hair. She felt like she was practically radiating concern, but she couldn't help it with all of her friends missing and/or injured.

Not knowing what else to do, October walked outside of the command center, suddenly needing some fresh air. She paced in front of the door, only to hear a scoff from nearby. "This is pathetic." A voice said, and October turned to see Bellona standing not too far away from her.

"Who.. you're a Goddess," October said, noticing her clothing and feeling an aura wash over her - one she only got from the Gods and Goddesses. "Which one?"

"I'm Bellona, the Goddess of war," She responded. "You often hear of your brother's father, Mars, as the God of war, but you probably have never heard of me. We are not the same. I am of close relation to Mars, though."

"Okay..." October trailed off, not knowing how to approach this Goddess. After a few moments of thinking, she spoke again. "I don't know why you're here, but I know that I need some help. Can you help me?"

Bellona laughed. "So this is the pathetic demigod Mercury sent me down to assist? Pleading for help?" She shook her head. "Now I remember why I didn't want to do this."

"You may think I'm pathetic for asking for help, but sometimes you need to ask for it, whether or not you want to. I don't know what's going on with my friends and I don't know how to fight these monsters. Running in there blind would be ten times worse than asking you for help," October crossed her arms. "So are you going to or not?"

The war Goddess smirked slightly. "Do you think making a little speech will sway me?"

October shrugged, unfazed. "I don't know, but I do know that regardless if you help me or not, I will still run out there and fight for my friends. Whatever happens is up to us, and if you don't want to help me, then that blood is on your hands."

"Perhaps," Bellona nodded. "Though I'm sure it concerns you much more than it concerns me."

She rolled her eyes. "You know, if you aren't going to help me, then I'm not going to sit around and listen to you. I'm gonna save my friends without you." October brushed past her and began to walk in the direction of the place the others were being held.

"You'll never be able to without my help." Bellona called to her, making October stop in her tracks. "Not without the powers that a War god could give you. The Laestrygonians are too strong. I would say you could ask your brother, but he's obviously not recovered, given that he's not here."

"I don't care." October turned to her, passion in her eyes. "I need to at least try to save them. Like I said, if you aren't going to help, then we're done here."

"No, we're not. Here," Bellona flipped a coin out of her hand, which landed in October's with exact precision. The minute it landed in her hand, October felt a rush of power go through her, and felt stronger immediately. "Good luck. You're gonna need it."

October looked down at the coin, before looking back at Bellona. "Thank you. You won't regret this."

"I sincerely hope not." She replied, before disappearing into thin air. October took a deep breath, clutching the coin tightly in her hand, and ran towards the direction of the battle.

"So, leader," Bella drawled, holding a hand to a bloody spot on her forehead. "Any plans on how to get out of here?"

The four rangers were in a dark cave with a Laestrygonian, the daughter, keeping watch at the cave entrance. Her parents, Antiphates and his wife, were waiting further out in the quarry, holding their large clubs in hand, ready for a fight.

Aiden scowled, "No, not yet, but I'm worried about October." He looked around. "She's not here,"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Luca asked, clutching his ribs tightly.

"No," Aiden looked at him like he was crazy. "That means she's going to come to our aid."

Jackie frowned. "I do not comprehend how that is unfavorable."

"She's coming to fight the Laestrygonians alone," Aiden explained, irritatedly. "She's gonna get hurt, or worse, and there's nothing we can do about it."

"Did you ever consider that maybe she's strong enough to take them on?" Bella asked, though she knew it was a long shot. October was a great ranger, but none of the others were able to take even one of the Laestrygonians on, let alone all three.

"Unfortunately, that seems unlikely." Jackie responded, before Aiden could. "The Laestrygonians have extremely high strength and speed levels. The only ranger I could think of that would really be a match for them would be Ryder, given that he's the son of the God of war."

Luca made a face. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"He has superhuman strength and agility." Bella said, as it dawned on her. "Same as them."

The white ranger nodded. "Precisely."

Aiden sighed, "But Ryder's still out of commission, and will be for a few more weeks. October must be coming alone. I mean..." He was cut off by a yell from outside. The four inched towards the cave entrance, peering past the daughter to see October, morphed, walking towards Antiphates and his wife.

October walked up to them, looking between the two, knowing she had to focus on them before she could handle the daughter behind them.

"So, the final ranger has come to join us," Antiphates licked his lips. "I will enjoy feasting on you the most, pink ranger."

"We'll see about that."

She pulled out Bellona's power coin, holding it up for them to see before she shoved it into her morpher. A pink sand-like substance came over her suit for a moment before it faded. Like Bella, she looked the same as she did before the coin, but she certainly felt different.

In fact, as October reached down to pull her swords out, she suddenly decided against it and rather for hand-to-hand combat instead. She got into a fighting stance, and ran forward before Antiphates or his wife could even move.

The others watched as October punched Antiphates' wife hard in the chin and, surprisingly, she flew back through the air and landed on the ground hard. None of the other rangers had been able to even make a dent in damaging one of them, so this was quite a shock to them.

It also seemed to be a heavy shock to the Laestrygonians, who stared at October like she was the worst thing they had ever seen.

"What power coin was that?" Aiden asked, peering over at Jackie, who had the most knowledge of the Gods.

Jackie breathed out, still stunned. "Bellona, the Goddess of war. She highly similar to Mars, right down to the abilities she possesses."

Luca nodded, "Yeah, obviously. She has the same powers as Ryder."

"Bellona must have given it to her, like Vesta did for me." Bella said, impressed. "She may actually be able to beat them."

"She will, definitely," Jackie relayed. "Without their strength to defend them, they are poor fighters and don't have much else to help. October will easily defeat them."

They watched as October ducked under Antiphates' large fist, almost as if she knew it was coming, and swept him off of his feet. She jumped out of the way of a swing from the wife's club, and decided to pull out her sword.

In a split second decision, October's sword was out of it's sheath and was rammed straight through Antiphates' wife's chest. She howled in pain and actually was able to knock October away with her hand before falling to her knees and disintegrating, leaving the sword to fall to the floor.

October lunged for the sword before Antiphates could attempt to take it and swung it towards him, though it was surprisingly caught by the daughter, who was snarling at her. She used her strength to pull at the sword, but the daughter had a firm grip on it.

So tight, actually, that her hand was dripping blood from her grip on it. October frowned in disgust and kicked one of her feet up to catch the daughter in the stomach, shoving her back into her father and making her loose her grip on the sword.

The pink ranger was quick to act and lifted the club Antiphates' wife had dropped when she disintegrated, picking it up and swinging it as hard as she could at the daughter, who had gotten up and was rushing at her.

The daughter was hit hard in the side of her head, knocking her into the ground with such strength that it rippled beneath them and made October and Antiphates fall to the ground.

When the two looked up, the daughter was also disintegrated. Antiphates and October locked eyes as they got back to their feet, October pulling out her blaster to shoot at him, though it didn't even phase him.

She huffed and threw her blaster to the side, lunging at the final Laestrygonian and swinging his wife's club at him. It caught him in the side and sent him to the ground, but it didn't destroy him.

With some obvious effort, Antiphates climbed to his feet and faced her again.

"You'll never beat me, you know," October told him, dropping the club and picking up her sword.

Antiphates chuckled lowly. "Maybe not, but Saturn will."

October ran forward and sliced her sword straight into him, holding on it as he fell to his knees and came face to face with her. "We'll see about that," She hissed, repeating her earlier statement just before Antiphates disintegrated as well.

Breathing heavily from the fight being over, October demorphed and turned to her friends, who stumbled their way out of the cave a few yards away. She ran over to the join them, not noticing Bellona watching her for a ways away.

"She did it." Bellona nodded to herself. "Maybe there's hope for these rangers yet," She said as she watched them regroup.

Next time on Power Rangers Guardians of the Galaxy: When her father is having a dinner party for his job as a politician, Jackie struggles to figure out how to socialize with the people there, prompting her to bring Bella, Eliza, and a still damaged Ryder along. The party, however, erupts into chaos when a giant attacks nearby.

Next Chapter Title: Politician's Daughter

So this chapter was much different than I usually do. It didn't have much of a plot to it, but I really just wanted to just have a chapter dedicated to October getting her new powers. I really love October as a character, especially how confident and strong I've made her to be, so I figured she deserved to have one just for her becoming even more powerful.

The next chapter is titled Politician's Daughter, however I will assure you that politics have nothing to do with it. I am aware of the turmoil that politics are causing right now, so I will not be involving it as I don't want any of that turmoil on here. I have written about controversial things before, but that is one thing I am not bringing into my stories. The only reason this is titled like that is because politicians definitely try to be people pleasers, even if it doesn't always work out, and Jackie has a hard time with it. That's all, I promise you guys.

No new poll is up yet, and while I assume this one will be the next one to make it up, it really just depends on which story gets to a full team first. This one is definitely in the lead, but Emergency Responders and Rainbow Fighters will be catching up very soon. I'll let you guys know which one is first when it comes!

Anyways, here are the upcoming five chapters!

Ep 22: Fair - Bella focused chapter.

Ep 23: Middle of Nowhere - Luca focused chapter.

Ep 24: Diamond's Shine - New rangers! *Title with ('s) is not a typo.*

Ep 25: Fame Isn't Easy - New rangers focused chapter.

Ep 26: Is Love Real? - All focused chapter.

I hope you guys liked this chapter, and I'll be back with the next one soon!
