Chapter 20: Revealing my parentage.

Chelbell2016:

Ok guys so next chapter for you. I hope you enjoy it.

*Keeper of the powers*

Courtney's POV:

I am training with my god-father Daggeron. It is my 18th birthday tomorrow and I am taking the day off as my dino thunder friends and my father is coming down for my party. My ninja friends cannot make it but that's not their fault.

Daggeron is practising my knight technique with me and I feel like rolling my eyes. We've done this already. We go at it for about another half an hour when Bowen walks up.

"Hey," he says as he gets closer. "Mum wants to talk to you."

It feels weird having a mum when I never really had one but, it's also really nice. I wish that my biological father was going to be there but if he's alive then he wont come out into the open. Too risky. I may not tell my friends, my brother, Daggeron or my mother, but I do miss him. A lot.

"I'll be right there," I tell him picking up my water bottle and taking a long sip of it.

"So," Bowen says as he, Daggeron and I walk our way back to rootcore. "Are you ready for mum to meet your adopted dad?"

"They've already met," I say to him trying to make a joke.

"You know what I mean," he tells me.

"I don't know," I say to him. "I... I don't want them to ruin tomorrow. It has got to be hard on both sides."

We arrive back at rootcore.

"So Athena," my mum says using my birth name. "Your adoptive father is coming to your party and your old ranger team. Is there anyone else?"

I shake my head. "No, not as far as I know."

She nods in thought and I wonder why she wanted to know. I mean it was her that wanted to do the party and I wish she wouldn't refer to dad as my adoptive father. I sat down and began to read some magic books. I wonder how my dad is going to react to Udonna being my real mum. How will he react when he hears of how I came to be in his care. I just don't know whether it's a good idea.

"Earth to Courtney, are you ok?" Bowen waves his hand in front of my face clearly having been trying to get my attention for the last few minutes.

I nod my head as he looks a little concerned. Then the crystal ball chimes. I quickly stand and walk over.

"There's trouble in the city," I say to my brother who nods his head. "Call the others and meet me there. I'm gonna go check it out."

He looks like he is about to argue but I quickly raise my morpher and press the buttons 1-2-3.

"MAGICAL SOURCE! MYSTIC FORCE!"

As I finish morphing I take off into the city to find and fight the evil there.

*Keeper of the powers*

I arrive and I look around for any sign of the disturbance. I am caught off guard when a sudden blast of lightning hits the ground around me and I go flying backwards. I look up and gasp at who I see.

"Zeltrax," I say looking at the cyborg who was always out for vengeance against my father. "Haven't we killed you enough times already?"

He growls at me as I get back to my feet.

"You may have finished me off," he says as I pull out my magi-staff. "But nothing can keep me down for long."

We run forwards and begin to fight. I duck under a strike and kick him in the stomach. I take the opportunity to strike him across the chest. Unfourtanetly I am grabbed by something. I look around to see T-drones and triptoids.

"I see you've brought friends," I say as I try to break free from them. "Too scared to fight me alone Zeltrax."

He doesn't answer but is about to shoot lightning at me when Daggeron arrives and fires a him with his laser lamp. The others arrive and Bowen comes to help me fight off the Tyrannodrones and the Triptoids.

"What are these thing?" Bowen asks me.

"Dinosaurs," I tell him and he gasps in shock.

Zeltrax comes running at me. I quickly call for my shield of triumph and block him. "I will destroy you and then your father will be next and your little sister. I will completely decimate the Oliver line."

"Where not so easy to defeat pal," I say kicking him away from me and deciding to change things up a bit. "TRIASSIC ARMOUR ACTIVATE!"

My armour appears on my body and as my wings appear I fly Zeltrax high into the air, kick him away from me and he lands on the ground hard. I land in front of him but I am caught off guard when a screech happens and I am hit by a blast of magic. I look up to see the queen of the vampires stood over me.

"Just thought I'd drop by," she says and I growl at her. "I see someone else wants you dead."

I rolled my eyes. "I could write a book on how many people want me dead witch."

I raise my hand and send a bunch of fireballs at her which she is forced to fly into the air to dodge.

I then turn to fight Zeltrax again but it is becoming too much trying to fight both of them. I am quickly overpowered and I hit the ground.

"We have to get out of here," I tell my friends as they gather around me and help me to my feet. "It's too much with the styxoids, Hidiacs, the t-drones, the triptoids, Zeltrax and Necrolai."

They all stare at me wondering how I knew the names of the unfamiliar ones to them. I just shake my head and we begin to back away. I take Bowen and Daggeron's hands and everyone else holds on and then I flame us back to rootcore.

*Keeper of the powers*

"Athena?" Mum says as we arrive clearly worried about me. "Are you ok?"

I nod my head as I sit down and begin to heal my wounds. Daggeron walks over and helps me as I cannot stop shaking from anger. How is it my enemies keep coming back to get me.

"Who was that robot you thought and the dinosaur type creatures?" He asks me when I am finished and I sigh.

"Zeltrax, the Tyrannodrones and the triptoids," I say to all of them glancing around. "Were some of the enemies of the dino thunder ranger team."

All my friends looked really shocked.

"But the robot, Zeltrax I think you said," Bowen says and when I nod my head he continues. "He seems to have a personal vendetta against you."

I sigh and begin to tell all of them the story of how Smithy became Zeltrax. By the end they looked a little shocked but mum also looked a little upset.

"So your adopted father is the reason for this robot being after you," she says and I still don't like the way she refers to him as my adopted father.

"I am responsible for what robot being after you," a voice says from behind me and my eyes widen as I turn to see my father and my old team there smiling at me.

I squeal as I run over and hug everyone.

"Oh my god, dad, Leanne, Conner, Kira, Ethan, Trent," I say as I hug each one of them. "How are you?"

They all say fine but my dad is staring at Udonna accusingly. "What do you mean when you say adopted father? I am the only father she knows."

Uh oh.

"Actually I am her mother and her father is my husband Leanbow," Udonna tells him.

The whole room goes quiet.

"You mean your the one who left her alone," dad says stepping forwards.

"Dad," I say trying to stop this argument before it escalates.

"I didn't leave her alone," Udonna says also walking forwards. "And neither did her father."

"He may be the guy who created her," dad says placing a hand on my shoulder. "But I raised her. Fed her, loved and cared for her from the moment I laid eyes on her. That has to count for something."

"It does," Udonna says sighing knowing that this is true and she cannot deny the fact that he looked after me since I was a baby. "I will be forever grateful to you for looking after her. But you cannot deny her true parentage."

"Okay, that's enough," I say getting between the two. "I am not a rag doll you can fight over. Right now we have much bigger problems. Zeltrax is back."

The dino rangers all look in complete shock as I say this.

"He can't be," Conner tells me looking a little unsure. "We defeated him in the last battle."

"Well he is," I say and then I walk over to them and ask them the one thing that I knew I needed to do. "And we need your help to defeat him."

Dad walks forward having brought the old case that I had requested he had to show the others what our morphers were like.

"But how?" he asks lifting the lid to reveal the bracelets that holds the dino gems in. "They have no power left."

My mystic friends walked over and held up their wands. "They soon will have."

We use our wands to charge their morpher long enough for one last battle.

"Ok guys so here's the plan," I tell them and I point out who is going to work with who and they all agree that this is the best way.

As everyone else leaves I turn around and walk over to my mum.

"When we get back maybe you can explain to my dad," I say to her and she sighs. "I know that I have two fathers now but Tommy Oliver will always be my father in one way."

She nods in understanding. I hug her and kiss her cheek. She smiles at that and I take off after the two teams.

*Keeper of the powers*

I flame to where I sense Zeltrax. The others are with me. When Zeltrax spots us he growls.

"So we meet again Dr. Oliver," he says.

I look to my left where the mystic rangers are standing and then to my right where the dino rangers are.

"Ok guys, this time let's finish him for good," I say and then pull out my morpher. "Ready?"

The dino rangers raise their wrists, Bowen puts on his ring and the other.

"READY!"

"DINO THUNDER POWER UP!"

"WHITE RANGER DINO POWER!"

"LEGENDARY SOURCE! MYSTIC FORCE!"

"KITSUNE WARRIOR!"

We all morph into our respective ranger colours.

Then the dino rangers begin their roll call.

"TYRANNO!"

"TRICERA!"

"PTERA!"

"BRACHIO!"

"DRAGO!"

"DINO THUNDER!"

It is now us mystic rangers turn.

"ELEMENT OF EARTH! GREEN LEGEND WARRIOR!"

"ELEMENT OF WIND! PINK LEGEND WARRIOR!"

"ELEMENT OF WATER! BLUE LEGEND WARRIOR!"

"ELEMENT OF LIGHTNING! YELLOW LEGEND WARRIOR!"

"ELEMENT OF FIRE! RED LEGEND WARRIOR!"

"POWER OF THE FLAMING MARS! KITSUNE WARRIOR!"

"POWER OF THE SUN! SOLARIS KNIGHT!"

We finish roll calls and jump down to face the evils around us.

Third person POV:

All thirteen rangers of the past and present begin to fight.

Bowen and Conner begin to fight a group of triptoids. Conner begins to strike a few with his Thundermax sabre and Bowen the same with his Kitsune sword. They begin to strike, kick and punch their way through. Then Bowen gets kicked in the side and goes flying back.

"You okay?" Conner asks as he lands next to him. "These guys are working my last nerve. TYRANNO STAFF!"

"I agree," Bowen says and reaches for his Kitsune spear and shield. "KITSUNE SPEAR AND SHIELD!"

This seems to even the odds and they are soon gone.

Kira and Maddie quickly turn to face the Tyrannodrones that had followed them into an abandoned warehouse. Kira goes into super dino mode and Maddie raises her Lion staff.

"CODE 1!" She says and a wall of water comes and the Tyrannodrones begin to run. "TIDAL WAVE!"

As the T-drones run away a deep screeching sound is heard and they go falling back from the sound. It turns out the magic had allowed Kira to do her Ptera scream in ranger form. As the dinosaurs are washed away the girls regroup and high five.

"Great job!" Maddie says to Kira.

"Way to go!" Kira replies and they high five.

Ethan pulls out his Tricera shield and he charges like a bull and begins to knock all of the triptoids and styxoids out of his way. Xander uses his vine power to bind them and then uses his Lion staff.

"CODE 1! ROCK SLIDE!" The rocks succeed in destroying both the triptoids and the styxoids.

Both Ethan and Xander cheer as they are now done.

Trent goes straight into his super dino mode and begins to speed around the monsters striking them from all different sides and they go flying into the air. Chip then strikes them with lightning and they are destroyed. Except for a few T-drones who manage to knock both boys around. Trent quickly calls for his ATV and Chip his mystic racer. They begin to shoot at all of the monsters. Finally they are all gone.

Vida and Leanne chase Necrolai into a building. As she goes running up some stairs the two girls follow her. She jumps into the air and tries to fire at the girls. Leanne quickly pulls out her primary weapon.

"Plesio mace!" She says and she throws the ball end at Necrolai. It wraps around her ankle and Leanne drags her back to the ground where Vida quickly uses her lion staff.

"CODE 1!" She says and creates a gust of whirlwind that sends the queen of the vampire flying out of the area.

"And that's what I call girl power," Leanne says and the girls cheer.

Courtney had called for her Triassic shield and she along with Tommy and Daggeron began to face off with Zeltrax.

"Laser lamp!" Daggeron says firing at the robot.

"Brachio staff energy orb!" Tommy says firing at the same time.

"Code 1! Firestorm!" Courtney yells.

All three attacks combine and Explosions surround and hit Zeltrax at the same time. He quickly manages to get back to his feet so Courtney turns to the two guys and nods her head.

"Super dino mode!" Tommy says and the spikes come out on his suit.

"Ancient mystic mode!" Courtney and Daggeron say and they go from ranger form to their warrior form.

Courtney flies into the air and grabs Zeltrax. She bashes him into a wall and then another. She drops him and both her godfather and her adopted father quickly destroy him. It's over.

Both teams regroup and cheer.

*Keeper of the powers*

Courtney's POV:

It is now time for my party. I have just got down and everyone cheers. I am wearing a red dress with orange flecks on it. Tommy comes to take my arm one side and Daggeron the other. I let them lead me down to where rootcore had been magically decorated to look like a ball room.

"Happy birthday!" My mum says. I hug her and then my friends and family.

I go to get a drink and then I walk over to my dad.

"Hey you okay?" I ask.

"Yeah," he says and then smiles as one of our songs come on. I will always love you. "Do you want to dance?"

I nod and just like my birthday two years ago we dance. When we got to presents I got a book on magic powers from Claire and Bowen, a charm bracelet with a snow leopard, a phoenix charm, a dragon charm and a unicorn charm from Vida and Maddie. They represent Azantys, My phoenix zord, Fireheart and Brightstar. Dad got me a new dress. Mum gave me an old family heirloom a necklace with a snowflake on it. I also received a present without a name on it.

It was a ring which glowed and showed my emotions. It was like a mood ring. It came with a note that says:

I'll always be there Athena. If you need me. One day I will explain our connection. Happy birthday and I'm sorry I cannot be with you today. At least you have your mother and your brother.

Love you,

L

I couldn't be sure but if he was alive I think this is from dad-Leanbow.

Later on after the party I request some time with both my mum and my dad.

"Okay you guys," I say wanting to get this conversation over with. "We need to talk about how I ended up in dads care. Mum you want to tell him."

She nods and as she speaks I have a vision.

Vision:

Udonna standing with a three year old Bowen and a baby in her arms. As she looks down at both of them and to where her husband is. She knew what she must do. She motioned for her husband and Daggeron to follow her.

"Daggeron," she says with tears in her eyes. "We need you to take Athena somewhere safe."

Daggeron's eyes widen. "No what about Bowen?"

"I Know someone who can watch Bowen and he has his magic, Athena doesn't have magic yet. I need you to take her."

Daggeron Looked to Leanbow who also had tears in his eyes. He takes his daughter into his hands and squeezes her tight.

"We will be together again one day Athena. I promise."

As the vision ended I see mum still talking to my dad.

"And that was the last time we seen her," she explains. She then goes on to tell him about Daggeron. How he was attacked by Callindor.

"I'm sorry I ever thought you had abandoned her," dad says and I smile.

"And I'm sorry about saying your not her dad," she says glancing at me. "She has two dads. You're the one who raised her. guess it just hit me hard seeing her call someone else besides Leanbow dad."

I pull her into a hug. "If he's alive. I'll call him dad someday too."

And everything was all right between all of us once again.
