Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while but life has been hectic. Here's Dax's funeral scene and I again cried while writing this. I highly encourage you read my new story The Alexision Chronicles. It will tie into the story in a couple of chapters so please check it out. And review! Dear *Insert choice of higher power here* Review. I do not own Power Rangers. I really wish I did but I don't.
"We gather here today to honor Daxter Harris Lo, better known as Dax to his friends. Dax was a brave man, a power ranger, a hero. I only knew Dax for a short while he truly touched me. He showed me the power of innocents and dreams. I'd like to think he's where ever you going after death hanging out with all the old movie stars. He's probably stalking Bruce Lee as we talk."
This comment drew a small laugh from the crowd.
Alexis had been elected to give the eulogy.
"Dax was special. I'm certain of that. Dax never gave up I'm certain of that. And I'm also sure of one other thing. His death will not go in vain. We shall always fight and remember him for what he has given to our world." Alexis walked closer to the hole in which Dax's casket had been lowered and pick up some dirt.
"Ashes to Ashes, May the power protect you forever." She whispered throwing the dirt into the grave.
The rangers that had come lined up to throw a rose of their respective colors into the grave.
As Will walked away he noticed a woman holding a little girl approach the grave.
She had her head down, kissing a rose and tossing into the grave.
When she lifted her head Will gasped.
Miratrix.
"You!" Will hissed stomping over to her.
She looked at him with a look of pure terror.
"What are you doing here?" Will snarled.
"I have right to pay my last respects." Miratrix said coldly, though Will thought he heard a trace of sorrow in her voice.
"Pay your respects for whom? A man you used?" Will spat.
"I deserved that." Miratrix said.
"So tell me Miratrix how'd you escape the jewel?" Will asked.
"Don't call me that." Miratrix whispered.
"Don't call you what?" Will asked.
"Miratrix. I go by Mira now." Mira hugged the child in her arms closer to her.
"Answer my question." Will said.
"The jewel can only hold one person at the time." Mira said quietly stroking the child's hair.
Will studied the sleeping child's features carefully.
She looked like Mira but Will could pick out the Asian features detailing the girl's face.
"Is she…." Will's voice failed him as Mira nodded.
"I named her Ming Yue. It means 'Bright Moon'." Mira's voice cracked.
"You slept with him." Will said bitterly.
It surprised him that jealousy was feeling his body.
"Anything to reach the goal right?" Mira asked bitterly.
She sighed.
"Why didn't you come to us when she was first born?" Will asked.
"I did care for Dax in some ways Will. When I found out I was pregnant, which was just before I was captured, I knew Dax was the father. I also knew I could never tell him. Kamdor you kill me and the baby so I tricked him into placing me into the jewel to keep us safe. I didn't come to you guys after I escaped because it's not right to fall in love with someone when you're pregnant with their best friend's baby." Mira said.
"Love…." Will looked at his feet.
"I don't expect you to return my feelings Will. I hurt you and your friends but you needed to know." Mira said.
"I… did develop feelings for you Mira but I can't be with you right now. I don't trust you enough." Will said.
"One day?" Mira asked hopefully.
"One day." Will said firmly.
Mira smiled a small smile at Will.
The black ranger wrapped his arm around the former villainess as they said goodbye to a man who'd touched their lives for the better.
"Casey!" A voice yelled.
Will spun around and saw Theo was on the ground leaning over an unconscious Casey.
"What happened?" Will asked rushing to the newest rangers.
"He just collapsed!" Theo said.
Alexis was beside Casey so fast that Will could have sworn she had super speed.
"We need to get him to the new base." Alexis said into her communicator.
"New base?" Will asked.
"They know where our base is now so I had us moved." Alexis said.
"Where?" Kimberly asked walking up.
"The Command Center." Alexis said.
"That was destroyed." Kim said.
"I rebuilt it." Alexis said lifting Casey's head.
The red ranger moaned and opened his slightly.
"Shh. Save your energy." Alexis whispered.
"Lily…." The red ranger whispered so quietly that only Kim and Alexis heard.
Alexis shot Kim a knowing look and Kim bit her lip.
"I've got everyone's stuff there already. Teleporting now." Hayley's voice said.
Casey disappeared in a shower of lights.
