Reefside

Earlier that day

Elsa couldn't stand kids; she hated them in fact, almost as much as she hated the Power Rangers, almost that was. So it was with a show of obedience and loyalty to her master that she had taken the position as Principal Elise Randall of Reefside high. Her office was her sanctuary away from the hordes of screaming, whining, hormonal kids. She stayed there between the times when walked through the corridors delivering the least of punishment she felt they deserved and while she spied upon Doctor Thomas Oliver and his group of Power Brats.

A knock at her door broke Randall out of her musing as she found herself glaring at the window, as students outside arrived for school.

"Yes?" She stated adjusting her glasses, as if the slightly slip in there placement might give away her duel identity.

"Principal Randall," The head of the school secretary poked itself through Randall's door. "That new student we were expecting is here."

"Oh," She replied climbing to her feet straightening her suit as she stood, and moved past the other woman without a word.

The new student stood leaning against the counter her back to the principal's office. Long black hair hung over a lacy cream top. Randall came to a stop behind the girl, raising an eyebrow at her, watching as the girl tensed slightly before turning to face her. Wide aqua eyes gave her an innocent look that was almost laughable to Randall.

"This is Jordan," The secretary stated, "She just transferred from a private school in New York. Here are a list of her classes." She handed out a sheet.

Snatching it without even looking, she turned her attention from the girl to the page.

"Ah yes," she said, "You have science first, follow me, come Dr. Oliver's is waiting"

Flashback

In the distance Willow's voice could be heard rising above the chaos. Calling a spell to close the barriers. It was echoed by a number of other witches that had joined the fight. The slayers did there best to drive back the growing number of demons, but they seemed to be insurmountable.

But if one thing could be said about a slayer, about Kimberly, she never backed down, and she never stopped not until she won. And it was working, they were pushing the enemy back. When a sudden break in Willow chanting caught her attention, but it was her scream that stopped her heart.

"NOOOOO!"

Spinning she spotted the red head witch, knowing that it hadn't been her that had fallen. The sight of the blond figure lying crumbled on the ground stopped her dead. Her as well as almost every other slayer. Turning she saw the demons continue to flow from the wound like hole in the air, behind it the ghost road, once a pale blue now shimmered an anger red. Just beyond it the night glow of Los Angeles' LA burned the horizon.

She turned watching the other slayers, stunned and losing the will to fight at the sight of the greatest of them fallen, as the demons regained lost ground. A sudden power had Kimberly yelling out, "WILLOW KEEP CHANTING!" She turned to the other slayer pointing, "Left flank forward, Right flank move! 'Round them up!"

Surprising they listened to her, and soon Kimberly was yelling of orders that had the slayers pushing the demons back. The ghost road shimmered slightly as Willow spell took effect sending out a cleansing light. The red pulsed slightly before washing out to a blue, before the hole sealed itself.

With the barriers back up, it only left them to take out what was left. Kim walked slowly towards where the others gathered, they parted for her, allowing her to see. Willow was slumped on the ground, tears steaming down her face. On the ground before her lay a figure in what looked like peaceful slumber. Face unmarked and hair shinning golden in the rising sun.

Kimberly knelt besides her reaching out to touch the already cooling skin of her neck. Her head dropped when she felt no pulse. They may have won the fight, but they had lost the best of them all…Buffy Summers was dead.

End Flashback

It was first break when Randall next spotted the new girl, after handing her off the Oliver. She watched her slide in comfortably with the ranger group. Eyes narrowed thoughtfully as the wheels of a plan began to move in her mind. Perhaps this new girl would be useful for something after all.

Mesogog used his Tyrannodrones as a decoy to draw the Rangers attention, as Randall now Elsa went in search of the brat. She hadn't expected the girl to come to her. As the others fled in terror, Jordan went in search of her lost friends. How sickly sweet, how hopelessly brave… and how stupid, Else thought as she closed in on the girl in a dead end alley. She expected quaking fear, what she got was a cornered spitfire.

"I'm Elsa," She finished greeting, "My master wishes for you presences." She told her blocking the girls exit. The brat didn't believe her.

"Listen chuckles," She said, "It's a little early for Halloween. You might want to rethink the costume, just between us girls it makes you look a little cheep."

Cold fury sparked in Elsa stomach. She could still be useful, she thought, maybe the Rangers will make a deal for her heart.

Elsa charged knocking to shocked girl to the side, it was almost as if she hadn't expected her to attack. She hit the ground hard, jarring herself as she landed. Then pushed herself up on her elbows, glaring up at Elsa. The henchman felt with smug feeling in her stomach fly away, with a sickly realization that she might have underestimated this girl.

"Ok," The girl said slowly, all fun and games fading from her voice. "Now I'm mad!"

She rolled back onto her shoulders, bringing her legs beneath her leaping to her feet. Flying forward she snapped out a powerful kick that sent Elsa reeling back in surprise.

"Who the hell are you!" Jordan demanded dropping into a fighting stance, "Who do you work for! Why are you after me!"

"This has nothing to do with you," Elsa said climbing to her feet, and advancing again, "You are just a means to an ends. You are coming with me, and we're going to use you to bring to Rangers to their knees!"

Flashback

The room was dark save for the pale lamp, sitting in the corner. Several dusty books lay in piles across benches, and the floor. The once large office, felt cramped and dingy. Her hand unconsciously played with the paperweight, as the door finally opened and Giles stepped in. His usual tweed suit was replaced with, a plain white shirt and jeans. He sat on his desk, near where Kimberly huddled in her chair.

"How's Willow?" She questioned.

"She…well she's blaming herself for Buffy's…She believes that if she had of got the barrier closed quicker.."..."

Kimberly shifted in her seat, burying her head in her hand. There was no way Willow could have done the spell quicker, not even if she had some kind of super speed.

"She has decided the move to England," Giles continued, "She wishes to spend some time with the cavern there. I believe she wishes to train the girls there to be better Wicca."

"No one's better than Willow," Kimberly said softly. It was true,true; Kimberly had seen Willow do spells that would have made the evil space sorceress Rita Repulsa drawl with envy.

"I don't think she believes that." Giles stood finally, "Also there's someone who wants to speak with you."

He headed to the office door, before a new man entered younger than Giles, his classic three-piece business suit immaculately presented.

"Miss Hart," He greeted, with a nodded of his head that somehow portrayed a meeting with someone lower than them. "I am Mr. Reid."

"Charmed,"

He took Giles leather desk seat with out even blinking. "I represent the watchers council."

"Why do you want to see me?"

"As you are aware the destruction of the original watchers council a few years ago lend to the construction of a new one. Much like the slayers we have been expanding in numbers ever since."

"Thanks for the history lesson," Kim sniped.

Reid ignored her, "After the sad events of the last few days," he said, "With the death of the self-claimed General, Miss Summers…"

"Her name was Buffy!"

"Yes Buffy," Reid nodded, "After….Buffy's death…the responsibility of overseeing the Slayers comes back to the Watchers. Now we of the council are aware of some of the hostility slayers have towards the council…"

"Not all the council," Kim interrupted.

"We thought perhaps if we had a Slayer in a favorable position support us," Reid continued, "It might be easier to have the other follow us."

"Let me get this straight you want me to be the new Council new poster girl!" Kimberly stated, climbing to her feet. "I may not have been around for the original council but I've heard the stories about what they used to do to girls. What are you going to do now you have an army!" She turned heading for the door, as Reid pulled one last ditch attempt.

"The others look up to you," Reid called as Kimberly reached for the door, turning she looked back.

"Another reason why I don't want to lead them blindly to you!" She stated, "I'm a solo slayer, and I have some demons to kill."

End Flashback

Connor sent out a powerful kick that sent a Tyrannodrones staggering back, before whipping out his blaster and firing. "Is it just me or are this these guys not really in this fight?" the Red Rangers remarked.

"I noticed that to," Ethan replied blasting away at the 'drones.

"It's almost as if there trying to keep our attention," Trent added sweeping out a kick that sent to 'drones flying.

"Diversion?" Kira suggested striking out with her Ptera Grips.

"From what?" Trent said as the team regrouped.

Jordan grabbed hold of a wild blow sent her away, wrenching it forward she pulled Elsa off balance before slamming her knee into her stomach, and an elbow to her back. The leather clad woman jerked, grabbing hold of Jordan's arms, nails biting into her flesh. Sweeping both arms she knocked the woman's hold off, before reaching down to grab a hit Elsa had tried to send past her defenses.

Twisting it sharply she sent her spinning to the ground. Planting her hands on the down woman's shoulders, she pulled a round off over her and landed on the other side, pushing Elsa back to the ground.

Sweeping her legs around, Elsa knocked the young slayer to the ground before moving to her feet. Jordan swept her legs out rolling to her feet, and into a leaping round house. Elsa ducked spinning behind her, as Jordan found her facing the alley wall. Still moving from the momentum of her kick, she hit the wall with her feet kicking off it to redirect her back at Elsa. Her kick sent the woman sprawling to the ground, once again.

As Jordan moved back towards her, a scream suddenly split the air. So high pitched that it near brought her to her knees, yelling out in shock her covered her ears, as the sound rattled her eardrums. Her eyes locked on the henchman, watching as Elsa eyes flickered from her to the mouth of the alley. Her dark eyes glittering with an emotional storm, fury, hatred, and a touch of…fear.

She scrambled to her feet, before disappearing through a portal as Jordan stepped back in shock,. Seconds later silence returned.

The area was deserted as Jordan emerged from the alley,alley; it was a strange sight as not long before the area had been bristling with people. Moving forward, the young girl looked around. There was no sign of the attackers, the strange looking reptile looking creatures, but Jordan figured they had vanished with Elsa.

Stopping she turned around looking for a familiar face, when she suddenly froze. Standing before her, in all their glory. Red, blue, yellow and white. They stood together just in front of her, regarding her with their expressionless helmets.

Kira's pterodactyl scream sent the 'drones scattering. They seemed to pause for a moment before as one they vanished. Connor relaxed his fighting stance, glancing back at the team as they all looked around the area clearly bemused.

"Ok," Ethan said after a moments silence, "That was weird."

"Jordan," The heard Kira say quietly, glancing back at the yellow ranger in confusion, Connor glanced around in concern. Spotting the dark hair girl making her way towards them. He knew she hadn't noticed them yet, and took the moment, to check to see if she was injured in anyway. He was confused by the amount of relief he felt when she noticed she was unharmed. Jordan turn and looked right at them, her aqua eye widening.

"Ooookay," she breathed as she took in the spandex clad hero's, "I gotta say this has been a very interesting day."
