'Its been 2 weeks since I became the Red Nova Ranger...and I gotta tell you...its been insane. We've been fighting all these monsters non-stop it seems. But we've been getting better with working as a team though I don't think anyone can beat us now...I just wish that I knew who that locket belongs to...'

Hathaway was snapped out of his musing by his teacher announcing a pop quiz. "Hey Hathaway did you study!" Tiffany asked. "Yeah I sorta did after that monster attack."

"Sorta? Whaddya mean sorta?" Tiffany asked.

"I'm not gonna fail sheesh mother" Hathaway said.

Tiffany snorted.

"Very funny." She did have a comeback but didn't want to upset Hathaway. "You may begin." She said after slamming a quiz down on Tiffany's desk.

"What were 3 major characteristics of the Neolithic Revolution..." Hathaway mumbled.

By the end of the quiz Hathaway fell asleep and only answered half the questions. "Yo wake up."

Tiffany said. "Orion Saber! Arrow Mode!" Hathaway shouted shooting his head up. A few of the other students looked at him like he was crazy. "Oh. Tiffany" Hathaway said stretching. "Is class over?" "Yeah, let's go find Rey and Megan then head to your place."

"Ok." Hathaway said standing up. He picked his bookbag up and walked off with Tiffany.

Rey was coming out of gym when he met up with his friends.

"Hey guys." Rey said switching out of his gym shirt.

"So any Black Holes?" Rey asked.

"Nope no Black Holes since saturday." Hathaway said.

"That's weird." Tiffany said.

"Hey I been working on a new system upgrade for the Raider Gun."

'Ever since Tiffany and Rey found out about my being a ranger, they've both been real helpful assets to the team. "Tiffany with the surveilance and Rey with his Techie-Fix-it junk. Thanks to Rey we even got some *Ranger Codes back online that Crusader couldn't get . In a way I'm glad they found out but I'm also scared for them...I don't want anything to happen to them.'

Hathaway snapped out of it and caught up to his friends who he was slowly walking behind.

They turned the corner and headed down the street to Hathaway's house. Along the way they met up with Megan

"So what's this about a system update for the Raider Gun?"

Hathaway asked.

"Oh! Its basically a power-up for when you don't have access to the Paradox Cannon you and the team can fire a blast just as powerful!"

"Interesting..." Hathaway said

"Huh that's pretty cool."

Tiffany said.

The group entered the house and saw that the group wasn't there.

"Huh I wonder where those guys went..." As if on cue, Hathaway's morpher beeped. "Yo." He said talking into it. "Hathaway! We got trouble!" Rilan shouted as he avoided a Wanderer. "Ok I'm on my way! Rey see if you can get that update going!" "Right!" Tiffany and Rey ran to the end of the hall and went down stairs revealing a *command center of sorts. Rey sat down in a chair with a laptop and 5 screens with each ranger on one keeping tabs on their power levels and vitals. Tiffany sat down infront of a large monitor with an out look of the city. Tiffany put on a headset with a mic as did Rey.

"Hathaway their downtown I'm sending you the shortest route." She said.

"I'll have that system update done as soon as possible." Rey said.

"Got it." Hathaway said running down the street.

He cut into an alley and kept running straight down. He came to a ladder and climbed up to the rooftop and ran all the way across 3 buildings. (He was much more physically adept than people gave him credit for.) Once he made it to the end he heard grunting and swords clashing. He could see his morphed teammates fighting a monster composed of nothing but wheels.

"Huh...wheels I got this guys special ability figured out." "That's one serious case of road rage." Tiffany running through all four rangers.

"Booo." Rey said. Hathaway laughed and drew his morpher.

"Nova Force! Start it Up!" He called out.

He jumped off the ledge and in a flash of bright red light he transformed. "Raider Gun!" He shouted firing from above. The wheel monster was knocked off of its feet. "Huh!" He grunted turning around. He tucked in and rolled to the floor. Hathaway united with his team. "What took ya rookie?" Marias said kicking a Wanderer. "Eh class y'know." The monster stood up at full attention.

"Do you know who I am! I'm the Speed Demon! I'll rip you to shreds."

"Bring it!" Hathaway said cracking his knuckles. The monster charged at them. The team split apart avoiding the monster. "Dammit" Rilan said landing on his butt.

"Round 2!" The monster said jumping into a wheel and rolling straight at Jordan. "Radiant Shield!"

Zeili called out stepping in the way of the attack and blocking it.

Soon enough the monster came to a stop. And began spinning even faster. "Aaah!" Zeili yelped being knocked off her feet.

"Rave Trigger!" Rilan shouted still on the floor. He fired his blaster at the monster who fell backward.

The monster stood right back up. "Rraagh! Mach 5 Rush!" The monster turned into a wheel again taking off at top speed. It left black flames behind it as it crashed into the Rangers. "Gaaah!" The 5 shouted as they were sent reeling backward. The Rangers were slow to get back up. " We...we nee the Paradox Cannon!" Hathaway shouted. The team weapon appeared in front of them.

"Oh no you don't! Mach 5 Rush!" The monster repeated the same action knocking the Paradox Cannon out of the Rangers hands.

They were sent flying again, this time into a food court landing on tables. "Ugh...He's too fast." Zeili said grabbing her stomach.

"How's that update coming?" Hathaway asked Rey.

"I'm not quite there yet...the only way I can get it to work is if I turn it into a Ranger Code and I'm trying to figure out the encryption to your morphers..." "Bah forget this..." Marias said standing up. "Yah!" She charged at the monster with her Raider Sword. Speed Demon easily evaded the sloppy attack and kicked her in the back.

"Heh you'll die first." He chuckled.

All of a sudden a blur flashed past Speed Demon attacking him. The blur struck 3 more times causing the monster to spin and drop to the floor. "Ngh! Who is it this time godammit!" NovaCrusader appeared in front of Marias with his sword and shield in hand.

"Who're you!" "NovaCrusader!" He said striking a pose.

"NovaCrusader huh? Gemini's he's here!" Speed Demon called out.

There was a brief quiet before a flash of lightning about 10 feet away from Crusader.

It faded away and in its place two twin human like monsters stood in its place. They both had greek symbols on their head. The Black one had the symbol for Alpha and the White one had the symbol for Omega. Alpha's right arm was mutated

(Like Nightmare from Soul Calibur 2)

Omega's was the same way except it was his left arm.

"Who are those guys?" Hathaway whispered to Leonide. "No clue..." He whispered back.

"Those are the Gemini's...Brigadier Generals for Dragomir." Zeili said.

"NovaCrusader! You die today." Alpha said.

"I don't intend on dying yet.". Crusader responded raising his sword. "Can he really fight those two by himself?" Hathaway asked.

"Don't under estimate him he's pretty strong." Rilan said.

"If you say so." Hathaway said.

The Gemini's and Crusader circled each other.

"Bring it on!" Omega shouted.

The Gemini's charged at Crusader.

They clashed creating a mini shockwave. The rangers got to their feet.

"We got this guy to take care of first." "Yeah! I owe for that kick!" Avery shouted at Speed Demon.

"C'mon! I'll do a lot worse than kick you." Speed Demon said. The rangers charged at him. Speed Demon jumped up avoiding them.

"Fire!" Leonide shouted firing the Raider Gun. He shot him out of mid air and Speed Demon and he landed on his feet clutching his chest. "Urgh!" The monster growled and once again continued his attack.

*-PRNF-*

Meanwhile, Crusader was losing to the numbers game of the Gemini's.

"What happened to all that confidence?" Omega snarled.

"Yeah losing your edge?" Alpha added in.

Crusader evaded a strike from Alpha but ran into an attack from Omega. "Ugh!" He grunted dropping to one knee. He swung on Alpha knocking him backwards. Omega came up to him and kicked him to the floor. "Pathetic." Omega said. Crusader got up and fought with Omega. Omega punched him but Crusader blocked hit with his shield and slashed him across the chest. "Urgh! So you've still got some fight left in you..." Omega said.

"I told you I don't plan on dying yet."

Crusader said charging at him. Seemingly out of nowhere Alpha appeared and slammed his mutated arm straight into Crusader's gut. That super charged punch sent Crusader flying backwards. The Knight Ranger hit the floor hard. "Argh!" The two Generals closed in on Crusader.

*-PRNF-*

Speed Demon knocked Rilan to the floor. "Neo Trident!" Leonide said jumping above Speed Demon.

He brought the blade down but just missed. "Godammit Rey! Where is that Code already!" Hathaway shouted. "I'm still encrypting!" Rey responded. Rilan shot at Speed Demon with his Rave Trigger

"Well encrypt faster!" He shouted.

"Ok ok! Don't get your spandex in a knot!" Rey said.

"They can't take much more of that Rey!" Tiffany said observing the fight.

"I know! Give me 30 seconds!"

Rey shouted.

"Right! We can hold him!" Zeili said trying to slow down his wheel form. "Almost got it...Done! Sending the code!" He clicked enter on his laptop and transmitted the code to the Rangers. Leonide jumped out of the way of one of Speed Demon's attacks then he united with the other Rangers. "Its about time!" Hathaway said flipping his morpher open revealing mini number pad.

The code on the screen inside read "6952" Hathaway punched in the code and his Raider Gun glowed.

*RAIDER WAAAAVVVE!

The 5 rangers aimed their guns.

"Oh no you don't!" "Funny I could say the same to you." Marias said.

They all fired simultaneously and their blasts unified into one large shot blowing the monster to pieces.

"Yes!" Rilan shouted.

"No time for celebration, look!" Leonide said pointing to the battle between NovaCrusader and the Gemini's.

*-PRNF-*

Alpha knocked Crusader backwards as Omega struck him.

The Rangers ran toward him.

"Nu uh uh." Alpha said in a sing song voice. He emitted some sort of powerful wave which seemed to create a barrier around himself trapping Crusader inside. "No!" Hathaway said being knocked backward. "Now then where were we?" Omega smirked.

"Oh Crusader. I know you know what Alpha and Omega stand for, Beginning and End." Alpha said walking next to Omega. Crusader stood about 9 feet away on one knee, his sword the only thing keeping him from falling to the ground.

The Gemini's locked their mutated hands together.

"Crusader get outta there!" Avery shouted. "Big..." "Bang..." "Armageddon..." "Blast!" The two shot a black and white beam of energy straight at Crusader.

"Aaah!" Crusader groaned out in agony as he was sent flying. Upon landing his body buckled and landed on the floor with a heavy thud. The teens were silent. The Gemini's cackled evily.

"That was easier than expected." Alpha said. "Very. Let's go report out success to Dragomir." Omega said. In a flash of lightning they were gone. The teens ran as fast as they could over to their fallen mentor. They all removed their helmets. Rilan got on his knees and rested Crusaders head on his lap.

"Crusader talk to me." Rilan said on the verge of tears.

"Listen...we all knew this day would come I've trained you all to the best of my abilities. You are ready to defeat Dragomir." Crusader lectured in a raspy voice.

None of the Rangers had any words.

"And Hathaway..." "Yeah?" The Red Ranger said walking closer.

"I'm sorry." "...You know I just figured out what you meant..."

Sighing, Crusader slowly removed his helmet.

Hathaway sighed heavily. "I knew it. It was you, Dad. You mom, and I are the only ones with those lockets."

Hathaway shook his head.

He didn't want to believe it, but that was his father, Dante Daniels, the man who walked out on Hathaway 3 years ago.

"I-I didn't want you to find out this way..."

"After all this time...you finally come back into my life then this happens..." Hathaway said, tears rolling down his face.

"I know this is a lot to handle but I leave the rest to you. I have faith in all of you..." Crusader said slowly closing his eyes. "No...DAD!" Hathaway shouted sinking to the floor. The distraught teen clutched his head as if he was in pain.

"Dad...why...DAMMIT!" He sobbed.

Tiffany and Rey looked on quietly.

This was news to all of the Rangers.

"What are we gonna do now?" Zeili asked while attempting to comfort her leader.

Soon enough it started to rain.

Marias looked up at the sky.

"Oh how cliche..."

A/N: Yo readers! How do you like that turn of events! What will the Rangers do now?...

Just in case you were wondering about the stuff I put asterisks on it was just things I didn't cover before.

Ranger Codes: When

NovaCrusader created the Nova Ranger technology, he also made codes that can be typed into the morphers to access different modes, weapons and abilities.

Command Center: When the Nova Rangers moved in with Hathaway they also brought gear from the Chrono Carrier to help with Surveilance of the city as well as to provide the rangers with any support they need.

Raider Wave: As for the Raider Wave...I was watching Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger prior to making this chapter and I couldn't resist. :D but anyway the next chapter is coming soon!
