Monday May 8th 7:46 a.m
Hathaway, Tiffany and Rey were heading to school.
"What are we gonna do about those Lunar Rangers?" Rey asked.
"No clue..." Hathaway said.
"Wait they have to be human right?" Tiffany asked.
"Yeah so?"Hathaway said
"Maybe if we find them in human form we can convince them to stop what they're doing." Tiffany said.
"That could work...but there's 2000 people in this city we'd be here forever..." Hathaway said.
"True...maybe we could identify their genetic make up..." Rey said.
The three entered the school building. "We can talk about it later. Right now I gotta get to class or Mr. Caplan will kill me." Hathaway said. He jogged down the hallway
He entered the class and quickly took his seat. "Ah Hathaway you're here.". "Yeah Mr. Caplan."
"Good now we have a new student here and I'd like you to catch her up."
"Uh sure where is she?"
"Right over there." Caplan said pointing straight at a girl with electric green streaks running through her brown hair.
"Sure I'll go over there right now." Hathaway said gathering his things.
He moved over to the seat closest to her. "Hi I'm Hathaway." He said.
"Roxy." She said quickly not even bothering to look in his direction.
"Uh...yeah Caplan said that you were new here?" "Uh huh."
'What's this girls' deal?' Hathaway thought to himself. "Look do you need something?" She asked hitting the table.
"No but Caplan asked me to fill you in on everything that we've been doing." He tossed his notebook on her desk. "You can give it back to me when your done." He got up to walk off.
Roxy sighed. "Wait." Hathaway turned around.
"I've been through a lot the past week so...sorry" Asking for forgiveness seemed to be new to her.
"Uh ok I guess." Hathaway said.
He sat down next to her again and started working with her. "So.." Hathaway while said writing.
"Where did you move here from?" He continued. "Um I moved here from upstate." Roxy said poking her cheek with a pencil. "Cool." Hathaway said.
The two worked for the remainder of the class. The bell rang and the students poured out into the hallway.
"Thanks..." Roxy said.
"Yeah no problem." Hathaway said. The two walked down the hallway.
"If you need anymore help don't hesitate to ask." Hathaway said walking off.
*-PRNF-*
Megan walked into her calculus class. "Boy am I really behind on my work..." She mumbled carrying different textbooks she rented from the school library. Not able to see where she was going she tripped over a cable and fell on her face.
The few people in the class laughed at her. "Oh dammit..." She grumbled picking her books up. Rey who was only three seats away from where she fell went to help pick up her books. "You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah I'll live." The girl said.
"You should be more careful." Rey said handing her books back to her.
Megan stared at him blankly for a second. "Uh you okay?" Rey said waving his hands in her face.
"Oh! Yeah I'm fine." Megan said quickly standing up and walking to the seat on the far left side of the room.
"Huh...strange girl."
*-PRNF-*
Zeili went to the usual spot where she would see Blade meditating.
"Oh he's not here..." Zeili said turning around.
As if on cue Blade came out of the trees. "Hello Blade." Zeili said waving. "Yeah hey." He said dismissively.
"I thought maybe we could talk today." Zeili said.
Blade snorted in response.
"You know you really shouldn't be so cold to people not everyone is out to hurt you."
Up in space Dragomir was watching the whole scene unfold.
"The pink ranger? Perfect. Hand me the controller." He said. A wanderer handed him a rectangular controller. He pressed a button that emitted a signal which activated the chips on Blade, Megan and Roxy.
"Look why don't you just-!" Blade brought his hands to his head and started screaming.
"Hey what's wrong!" Zeili said rushing over to him. She placed a hand on his shoulder when he threw her off. In a flash of gold light he transformed.
"Blade?" Hayden said. The Gold Ranger walked straight towards her drawing his Hazard Dagger.
He swung at her and she dodged it.
"Blade please stop!" She dodged another swing.
"Nova Force! Start it up!"
She morphed just in time because Blade kicked her into the woods. "Raider Sword!"
Zeili drew her Raider Sword in defense as Blade tried to strike her again. "Blade you need to snap out of it-aah!" Blade pushed her sword away and punched her in the chest.
She tumbled to the floor. She converted her Raider Sword back into gun mode and fired at him. The attack staggered him. This gave Zeili enough time to get up and grab him. "Blade I don't know what's wrong with you but you've gotta snap out of it!"
Blade broke free of her grip and hit her three times with his Hazard Dagger. She fell backwards. Blade brought his hand to his chest and binary flashed around in his hands forming a bow. He pulled back on the thread and shot up into the sky.
Hundreds of arrows came raining down. They all hit Zeili simultaneously. "Aaah!" She shrieked. He pulled out his Hazard Dagger again. He punched in a code into his morpher.
HAZARD WAAAVVVEEE!
His blade glowed. He swung the blade creating an energy replica hitting the other Ranger full force.
Zeili went flying and crashed into a tree de-morphing on impact.
"Ugh..." She groaned.
Blade walked closer to her. "Blade...don't" Zeili said.
Blade raised his dagger above her.
looked away. For some reason he wouln't strike her.
'What am I doing? This isn't me!' Blade's consciousness said. He dropped the Dagger. "Ngh! Gah!" Blade shouted clutching his head in pain.
"You...can't control me!" Blade roared. The chip short circuited and fell off. He de-morphed and fell to the floor.
*-PRNF-*
Dragomir roared. "What is this! He broke free of the mind control!" The Commander was enraged.
"Get him back here! NOW!" He shouted. "At once sir!" Aires said.
Aires teleported down into the woods. "You're coming with me." He said. He heard two voices in the distance.
"Neo Trident!"
"Storm Bow!"
Leonide and Marias intercepted him before he could grab Blade. Marias shot at him. "Back off!" She shouted.
Leonide swung on him.
"Just go back to where you came from!" He swung his staff around and struck Aires five times.
The two drew their Raider Guns and entered the code for the Raider Wave.
RAIDER WAAAVVVEEE!
The two fired their guns hitting the monster.
"You want some more?" Leonide said. "Ugh!" Aires teleported away.
"You okay Zeili?" Marias asked helping her to her feet.
"What about this guy?" Leonide said pointing to Blade.
"That's the Gold Ranger." Zeili replied. Marias took a step back.
"Don't worry he's not dangerous anymore."
"I wish we could say the same about the other two." Leonide said.
*-PRNF-*
Rilan blocked Megan's double edged scythe.
"Any assistance at all here Rey!"
Rilan shouted behind him.
Rey who was hiding behind a hot dog stand on a computer shouted back.
"I'm working on it!"
Rilan jumped backward evading another swing.
"You wanna play like that? All right then!" He drew his Raider Sword and retaliated.
"Hah!" He grunted slashing at Megan.
As the two continued to fight Rey ran a diagnostic on the White Ranger. "Something isn't right..."
He scanned the body and an anomaly appeared on screen.
"Huh...that shouldn't be there...wait! Rilan! There's a chip on the back of her neck! Hit it and she should go back to however she was before!" Rey shouted.
"Easier said then done!" Rilan said being thrown off of Megan's scythe.
Rilan tried getting close but Megan's scythe made it impossible.
"He's not getting anywhere...Rilan! Toss me your Raider Gun!"
"What! Are you daft!" He said avoiding another swing. "Trust me!" "Oh fine! Here!" He said tossing his Raider Gun. Rey caught it.
"Good! Now just keep her attention on you!"
"Believe me! That's not a problem!" Rilan said.
Rey aimed at her neck. "All of the first person shooter games I play are about to pay off." He fired and hit her directly in the back of the neck.
She fell forward.
"Unh..." She de-morphed.
Rilan picked her up.
"Isn't that Megan...?" He asked as the girl slowly regained consciousness.
"Unnh...Where am I?" The teen said.
*-PRNF-*
"Of course I get stuck with you again." Hathaway said referring to the Silver Ranger. "Nova Force! Start it Up!" He called out. He ran towards her and morphed. Roxy wasted no time in drawing her Hazard Dagger. Hathaway responded by attacking with his Raider Sword.
The two locked blades before separating. "Hyah!" He grunted round house kicking her. Roxy stumbled backwards. He continued his assault with repeated sword strikes. Roxy deflected the attacks and retaliated with a series of her own strikes. Hathaway was hit by her attacks but blocked the final strike by kicking her away.
He input the code for the Raider Wave. Roxy input the code for the Hazard Wave.
RAIDER WAAVVEE!
HAZARD WAAVVEE!
They fired off the attacks at the same time and they clashed against each other. The Hazard Wave over powered the Red Ranger and he was sent flying. the other 6 Rangers and Rey showed up.
"Hathaway! There's some sort of chip on the back of her neck! Hit it and its over!" "Right!" Hathaway said as he hopped back up.
"Orion Saber!" He called out. He brought his hand to his chest. Binary flashed in his hand forming his signature weapon.
He charged back at her landing hits.
Roxy swung to counter which made Hathaway dodge and he ended up facing away from her. She went to cut his back but he flipped over her.
"It's now or never!" Hathaway said and in the classical Power Ranger way, he had the utmost accuracy and hit it easily.
Roxy dropped down to one knee.
"Ugh!" She demorphed. "You're the new girl from earlier..." Hathaway said.
"And who exactly are you?" She said her bright green eyes staring angrily at him. Hathaway de-morphed.
"Whoa...its you." She said her demeanor becoming seemingly calm. In a flash of lightning Aires, The Gemini's and a group of Wanderers appeared before them.
"You three are coming back with us." Aires said.
The. Nova Rangers lined up to protect the others.
"They're not going anywhere." Hathaway said.
"We'll see..."
