The Nova Rangers were fighting a crowd of wanderers on the beach.

"Man! This can get really annoying!" Rilan said flipping a wanderer. Hathaway kicked a wanderer away from Rilan.

"You can say that again..." He said.

Leonide shot at some more with his Raider Gun.

"You two almost sound bored." He said. Leonide punched a wanderer and swept kicked more.

Marias fired her Storm Bow. "I agree its been boring the past week."

"It has been pretty dull." Zeili said slashing 5 wanderers with her Raider Sword.

A wolf like monster appeared out of a Black Hole. "Well then let me give you a challenge!" He said.

By now the wanderers were gone leaving only the wolf monster and the Rangers. "Let's go! Orion Saber!" Hathaway said running at the monster. The others followed behind him. The Rangers surrounded the monster and attacked from all sides. The monster blocked each of their attacks and knocked them all backwards.

"Whoa!" Leonide said catching himself.

"Its pathetic how the Black Hole Empire hasn't beaten you all yet."

"You'd think the boys up there would reprimand him about insulting the empire..." Marias said.

The monster said preparing to swing on Leonide. Suddenly he was hit by a throwing knife. "Ugh! Huh?"

He looked forward and saw the Lunar Rangers running straight at them. He swatted them all aside.

Blade stood up quickly. He attacked the monster yet again. Suddenly he stopped fighting. "You..." He had a flashback to when his family was killed. In the flames and aftermath of the attack he could remember a specific creature. This creature matched the same one from years ago. "YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!" Blade shouted swinging his dagger at him erratically. The wolf monster evaded the attacks with ease. He kicked Blade to the floor who wasted no time in getting back up.

The other Rangers aided him in the attack. He knocked all of them away. "Rragh!" Blade roared he kicked at the monster who easily countered him and dropped him to the floor. Blade refused to stay down and jumped back up. This time the monster bared its claws which glowed a faint purple. He slashed Blade across the chest demorphing him. "Ugh!" He grunted tumbling to the floor.

The monster loomed over him.

"Stay away from him!" Zeili shouted as she and the other Rangers ran at him. The monster fought all of them off quickly and returned his attention back to Blade. "You're that boy from 15 years ago..." He said staring at a seething Blade.

He pulled his headband off.

"Give that back you bastard!" Blade shouted ready to get up. The monster put his foot on Blade's chest keeping him down. "You want this back? Then you can come and get it. 4 o' clock in the rock quarry."

He walked off heading towards the mountains.

The others had to hold Blade from running after the monster.

He was screaming at the top of his lungs. Ever since meeting none of the rangers have ever seen him this irate. When he finally calmed down they brought him back to Hathaway's house.

Rey spun around to face them in his seat. "So as it stands..." Rey said. "This monster has really fast reflexes and a sturdy exo skeleton. I'm working on a new ranger code to cut through that exo skeleton."

"I'll use it." Blade said. "How quick can you have it done?" He said.

"Well I can have it done in 30 minutes." He said. "Fine." Blade said treating his wounds.

Rey spun back around and went to work. Megan sat next to him.

"Mind if I help?" She said.

"Uh-uh s-sure you can..." Rey stammered. Marias sighed. "It goes from boring to exciting pretty quick around here." "I heard that." Roxy said laying across the couch.

Zeili walked over to Blade.

"Are you okay? What happened between you two?" She asked.

It took Blade a second to respond.

"He killed my entire family in front of me and stole a family heirloom from me." Blade said tapping his foot quickly.

"I'm sorry to hear that."

Blade was silent.

"I'm going to kill him." He finally said. Zeili suddenly just up and hugged him.

The action took him by surprise.

"When you go out there I just want you to be careful. I want you to come back" she whispered.

"I will...I promise." Blade said hugging her back. They stayed that way for about another minute before breaking apart. He turned away ready to leave.

He left the house.

*-PRNF-*

Blade headed towards the rock quarry when his morpher beeped.

"Its ready." Rey said. "Good luck!" Tiffany said.

"Thanks." He said cutting the communication. He entered the rock quarry where the monster was already waiting.

"You showed up." "As if I wouldn't."

The monster's claws extended and blades popped out of his forearms.

"You ready?" He said taking a fighting position.

"Lunar Force! Go!" Blade called out. In a flash of light he morphed.

"Guys! Its starting!" Ashton said looking at the main monitor.

The others quickly crowded around.

Megan was squished up against Rey. "Eh heh..." He said.

Blade drew his Hazard Dagger.

The two ran at each other trading blows. The monster swung at him but Blade blocked it and retaliated.

He went to slash the monster but its exo skeleton deflected the blow.

The monster kicked him backwards.

"Ugh!" He grunted. "Is that all you've got? You'll never get this back with those skills." The monster said holding up Blade's headband.

Blade rushed at him and instead of slashing him he delivered a series of punches and kicks. He swept the monster into the air. "Hah!" He grunted jumping up and dropkicking it. He sent the monster flying backwards and into the wall.

Blade punched in the code for the new weapon. A golden sword materialized in his hand. The sword's handle had three setting on it. They read: V1, V2, V3.

"Hazard Saber!" He said. He took off running with the blade dragging along the floor. He lifted it up quickly sending a shockwave at him. "Ungh!" The monster grunted being taken aback by the weapons power. Blade rushed him. The monster blocked his intial attack and retaliated with his own.

"You can't even hope to beat me!" The monster went to deliver a straight punch. Blade blocked it and went back on the offensive. He slashed the monster leaving cuts in the exo skeleton. "What was that!"

He switched the setting to V2. The blade glowed red and began doing much more damage. The monster quickly retaliated and kicked him into the air. He followed him up into the air. He swung at him with his claws. Blade took the attack head on which allowed him to cut him horizontally sending him flying backwards. Blade chased him and tried to slash him again. They clashed with each other and went flying down towards the ground. The monster landed on the ground and the opposing forces created a crater around them on impact.

"Whoa! That thing packs a punch! good job Rey!" Megan said. "Yeah thanks..."

Blade backed up and rolled under the strike of the monster.

"Hah!" He shouted slashing its back.

The monster groaned in pain.

Blade went to strike again but the monster blocked it and they locked blades. "Its over." Blade said angrily. "Hm? I don't think so."

He switched to V3 mode.

SUPER HAZARD WAAVVEE!

"I told you its over." The Hazard Wave exploded creating a blinding light.

"Blade!" Zeili shouted.

There was a brief silence.

"I made you a promise. I never break my promises." Blade groaned as he climbed out of the crater.

He held his headband. He took his helmet off and put it on.

He put his helmet back on and walked out of the quarry.

*-PRNF-*

Hayden was the first one to greet him with a hug.

"I'm glad you're okay." "Yeah."

"Aww..." The others all said teasing.

Neither of them cared though.

Then something weird happened.

For the first time in a long time.

Blade smiled.

A/N: Well? How was it? Be sure to leave your reactions! And one more thing! A former ranger will come into the mix. I'm not going to tell you who it is I want to see if you can figure it out. I'll leave you with this hint; He was in a similar situation as Hathaway when it came to being Red Ranger. Not exactly the same! But similar! Can you figure it out?

Bye :)
