Ch.5 Corinth

One Year Three Months Later

"Ziggy I am not giving you permission to take Dillon's car!" Summer told Ziggy for about the hundredth time.

"C'mon Summer just for a quick spin, he'd never known it's gone." Ziggy begged.

"Go ask Scott." Summer said pointing at Scott who was working on his own car.

"I think I will." Ziggy said with a smile. As he went to over to Scott the alarms began to sound off. The rangers ran into Dr. K lab.

"Our monitors are picking up bio fields right outside the Venjix barricade." Dr. K informed.

"An animal?" Flynn asked in his Scottish accent.

"Negative, it's human." Dr. K informed.

"Well we'd better go check it out." Scott said leaving the room followed by his team. The team left Corinth and headed out to the area where there monitors picked up the bio field.

"Do you guys see anything, because all I see is desert?" Flynn said looking around.

"Maybe Flynn's right it could've been an animal." Summer told them as they looked around.

"In this wasteland, I doubt it." Dillon said as they moved forward.

"Guys-"

"Look!" Gem and Gemma said pointing.

"Is that?" Dillon asked looking at where the twins were pointing.

"A man?" Scott asked going over to them. They saw a man taking out grinders left and right easily.

"He's amazing." Summer said as they looked at him expertly defeating the grinders.

"Let's go help him." Scott said snapping everyone out of their trance and moving forward to help the man. He took out the last of the grinders as the rangers reached him.

"Humans finally!" the man said a grin appearing on his dirt covered face.

"Who are you?" Scott asked standing in front of him.

"The one and only Sky Cowboy, Joel Rawlings." Joel said tipping his cowboy hat at them.

"Who are you?" Joel asked them looking at each of them.

"We're the RPM rangers, I'm Scott Truman, this is Flynn McAlister, Summer Landsdown, Ziggy Grover, Dillon, and Gem and Gemma." Scott said introducing his team.

"Rangers?" Joel said excited. "Angela how is she?" Joel asked his excitement growing.

"Angela?" Scott asked confused.

"Yes Angela Fairweather Rawlings, creator of the ranger suits, magazords, weapons, any of this ringing a bell?" Joel asked confused.

"You must be confused sir, Dr. K is the creator of the ranger suits." Summer said.

"Sir? What am I an old man? Call me Joel and who is this Dr. K?" Joel asked them.

"Uhmm…Joel I think there's some kind of confusion here. Let's get you back to the city." Scott said.

"That would be great." Joel said with a grin. He was so excited to get back to the city where he had left his wife over a year before. It had been months since he had seen any real people and he was so happy to get back to the last remaining city. They made their way back to the city.

"You're going to need to get a scan." Scott informed him as they reached the city's entrance.

"Scan me for what?" Joel asked outraged.

"Robotic technology?" Scott answered.

"Robot? You did just see me take down a miniature army of those things right?" Joel said.

"Don't worry about it's just like getting a scan at the airport." Summer told him with a smile. They got off the cars and the guards move forward. The guards scanned Joel thoroughly, a green light flash on their devices.

"He's clean." The guard informed making everyone smile.

"Should we take him to Dr. K?" Flynn asked.

"I think that we should take him to Colonel Truman." Summer said surprising the others. "He's the first person since Dillon and Ziggy got here." Summer explained. Scott nodded seeing the logic behind her words. They headed to the Corinth Head Quarters, Joel got a chill as they entered, thinking about his own base.

"Sir." Scott saluted his father. "This is Joel Rawlings." Scott told him.

"Colonel." Joel saluted like a true soldier. He thought about Captain Mitchell, and knew that he had to prove himself to this man in order to make his late Captain proud.

"A solider, who were you under?" Colonel Truman asked.

"Captain Mitchell, sir." Joel answered proudly.

"He was a great captain and a good friend." Colonel Truman.

"Yes he was." Joel said.

"So tell us how you made it back, I understand you left us your teams best scientist." Colonel Truman said.

"My bird was attacked as I headed back to Mariner Bay, I tried to get as many people here but the wars out in the wastelands were brutal. Getting back here turned out to be harder than I thought." Joel told them as if it was a small inconvenience.

"Well it's good to have you here now, it's not every day we have a former ranger join us." Colonel Truman told him.

"Good to be here sir." Joel answered with a smile.

"Former ranger? I thought we were the only rangers." Ziggy said surprised and a little disappointed.

"What? Of course there are other rangers what planet have you been living on?" Joel asked him as if he was a fool.

"Wait, are there really other rangers?" Scott asked his father.

"Yes, many teams." Colonel Truman responded.

"How come Dr. K never mentioned any other teams?" Flynn asked.

"My guess is she probably didn't know about any of the others teams." Colonel Truman answered.

"Colonel Truman, do you know where Angela Fairweather Rawlings is, she was the scientist I left here. She activated the dome's shields." Joel said trying to give him as much information as he could.

"Of course, she's working here now." Colonel Truman answered.


E/N: Joel's back! Tell me what you think, with a review. :)

So I got a few messages with some really good questions about my stories and I wondered if anyone else had some good questions. If you do send me a messages with any questions and I'll post all the answers on my profile. :)
