Now we are up for Chapter 14, I am so happy that I was able to update sooner than expected.
Once again I do not own power rangers, someone else does.
CHAPTER 14 "The Girl Awake"
TOMMY`S POV
All I did for almost an hour the moment they arrive was to pace around in front the operating room. Billy called them earlier just after the battle saying that Mia had been bleeding badly. When he asked why, Billy just sighed and stated that Mia had sustained a new wound without a cause. I was a little bit horrified when I heard it but I am more concern on the wellbeing of my daughter. I got the feeling that she is alright but still I am the father, I couldn`t stop myself from worrying too much.
The moment I look around the hallway, a smile appeared on my lips as I saw my friends, my comrades, my family sitting impatiently, waiting for the doctor to come out and tell us regarding Mia`s condition. All of them had considered Mia as an important part of the family without knowing his relationship to the girl, and he is very much thankful to all of them.
His attention was caught by Kim who is right now standing in front of the operating room door together with Trini who is standing beside the blonde. He never thought that Kim was always there for his daughter and had loved her as if she was her own daughter. He was thankful to what she did but he admitted to himself that he is jealous, because she was there when Mia needed him the most. Same goes for Trini, she was also there caring and loving Mia as she grew up.
He turned his attention to Andros, who at the moment is comforting the now crying Ashley, according to Billy the three ladies had been hysterical the moment they discovered that Mia had been bleeding and found out where it come from, they had only calmed when the Doctors had brought Mia to the operating room. He smiled, he don`t know why but he got the hint on why Mia consider the two as her new found family, one is maybe she was alone in Aquitar, second is she saw how the two love each other and she wanted to be a part of it. And lastly Mia just wanted to feel the warm of having a complete and loving family knowing her circumstances that she never felt loved in the house of her adoptive family.
He sighed and turned his gaze to the three new member of the team. They were Mia`s friends and team mates, she fought with them just like how he fought with his team. Maybe he was wrong on not dragging the other rangers to this war. Besides they are saving the world once again and surely they would really need all the help they could get. He really needed to talked all about this to all the reds and let them decide on what to do on this matter.
His gaze landed onto Casey who at the moment is sitting beside Jason who is currently also looking at Casey. He was a bit surprised to the display of new found powers of Casey, it was a good thing but he felt that something is not right about it. He felt that Casey is keeping some important details from them. He was about to ask when Jason suddenly stood up in front of Casey.
"Spit it out, Casey. Is there something we need to know?" Jason asked. Everyone, except for Kim, Trini and Ashley, looked at the two. I saw at how Casey sighed and looked at Jason.
"I saw Mia while fighting Dai Shi." He said as the others gasped, even Ashley, Kim and Trini look at him.
"Was that the time when you suddenly disappeared?" Leo asked.
Casey nodded. "She was the one who gave me the Crystal that amplify or ranger powers. She was sorry for not being there with us during the fight."
Kim smiled as she walked near the others. "Is she okay, did she tell you something aside the battle, did she told you when is she waking up?"
"She can't wake up yet, she told me that there are things she need to know about herself before she could return."
Kim nodded. "I'm glad that she is fine."
Tommy was a little bit startled by what Kim stated.
"Kim?"
Kim smiled at him. "Mia is just trying to find herself again. Maybe she too, is confused on who she really is right now." Kim looked at Ashley and went to pat her shoulder. "Do not worry, all we have to do is wait for her to wake up, support her and most of all we should trust her, cause that is the only thing we, her mothers, could do for her."
Ashley nodded in understanding. "You are right. Mia is fighting for all of us, being always here for her is the only thing we could do."
"You are wrong." Trini said. "Staying beside Mia is more than enough help; because that is the only reason she will return to us." Trini smiled as Kim understand what Trini means.
"This is my home." Both said in unison as both smiled.
"What?" Jason said.
"We are Mia's home, guys, we are her family. I only understood those every time she offered us a true gentle smile." Trini said. The others smiled and nodded to themselves.
At that moment the Operating room opened revealing the doctor and he was smiling.
"She is fine; those wounds are just minor lacerations it will heal in no time." Everyone sighed in relief, 10 minutes later; they brought Mia back to her room.
Tommy smiled knowing that Mia is there somewhere, looking at them at that moment.
"Okay, guys, all of us should go to rest now. All of us need that. Billy,I guess you better prepare a room for these two." Leo said as he pointed at Jayden and Antonio.
Billy just shook his head. "Don't worry about it, everything are done." Billy stood up. "I'll show you to your rooms."
"Is it fair not to let the other rangers what we are fighting right now?" Tommy asked as the others look at him. "All of you fight with your teams in saving the world before, is really good not to tell them anything else regarding this situation we are in?"
Jason looked at him, Tommy sighed. "I am not telling this just because of my own personal reasons but because we have friends whom we are keeping secrets from. Besides they too are rangers, maybe they still want to help other people, to save them from evil. Like each one of us here"
"Tommy has a point! I felt that kind of feeling every time I see Mia fighting those monsters before. I kept on asking myself why I couldn't do something to help when I was once a ranger too." Trini said.
"Think of it guys, you are the team leaders so you knew whom to call and whom not to in this situation."
"You are right, but I guess, most of the members my team are here now." Jason said as he smiled widely. The others just stared at him. "You all knew who Billy was right?" Billy just shook his head smiling as he understood what Jason meant.
"Ladies, mind introducing yourself, to this bunch of rangers." He said looking at Trini and Kim. The two sighed.
"My name is Trini Kwan, the former Yellow mighty morphing ranger."
"I am Kimberly Hart, the former Pink mighty morphing ranger, and the pink Ninjetti ranger."
Everyone eyed them, making Tommy and Billy sighed.
Mike at the moment was looking at them eyes widely opened.
"I couldn't believe this, Mia grow up with two power rangers and was a descendant of one." Mike said not trusting what he just heard, while Jayden and Antonio looked at him questioningly.
"What do you mean, mi amigo?'' Antonio asked.
"Nah, don't mind me." Mike said as he shook his hands. "The most important is we should call the others and bring them here."
Jayden just nodded.
On the other hand, Tommy noticed at how quite Leo was. He was about to go near him but Andros stopped him as he shook his head, Tommy just nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile at Terra venture, on the altar of the pink Quasar Saber, a woman was staying not as a protector but to be protected. She feared that evil will come and take her again and make her evil.
She left everything to ensure that she won't be able to destroy anything again.
"I never thought that you would become a coward after you were chosen to become its handler." A voice said as she was startled by it. The moment she looked at where the voice from, she saw an Asian girl looking at her. But what surprised her more is, the girl is transparent.
"How did you?" She asked.
"What are you scared of?" The girl asked. Karone just look at the girl.
"There is no reason for you to be scared." The girl stated.
"There is!'' Karone sadly stated.
"What is it?"
"I know that Dark Spectre is back, he will hold onto me again and brainwash me."
"But you have that." The girl pointed the pink quasar saber. "That will protect you."
Karone laughed bitterly. "That was when Kendrix died, but after she was revived everything changes. Kendrix chooses me to become the next pink galaxy ranger, she gave me the transmorpher."
"But not the pink quasar saber." Karone look at the girl confusedly. "The pink quasar saber chooses it's own owner, not the one who had used it."
Karone looked away. "It is unnecessary to talk about this I won't get out of her. Besides, it would only be painful to keep on looking at Leo and Kendrix being so happy with each other."
"Now I see, it was not truly Dark Spectre that you are scared off but you are scared by what your heart might do."
Karone looked at her.
"You don't want to get hurt, wasn't it?" Karone nodded. "We learn and understand things after we got hurt. And then we learn to move on."
Karone looked away. "Your brother, Andros, don't you want to save him from the pain of not seeing and not knowing if you are safe. Isn't it worse to hurt the only blood related family you have left?"
The girl looked at the quasar saber. "And of course your friends, wouldn't it be bad to see them mourning for no reason at all."
Karone was quite for long, thinking analyzing what the girl had stated.
"Don't run, face him head on. Then you will become free." After saying those, the girl slowly vanished.
"Wait!" But Karone was too late, the girl totally vanished. Her eyes focused on the Pink quasar saber. She move towards it and took it from its altar.
"If this is what I should do to be totally be free. Then I will." She raised the saber and she morphed into the Pink lost Galaxy ranger. She got startled when she morphed. "Kendrix took the transmorpher how could this happen?" The moment she unmorphed, the transmorpher appeared on her hand.
"So this is how it is then?" Karone stared at the Quasar saber. "You choose me."
Karone started walking away from the altar with one destination on mind.
"If this is how it should be, then I will." Karone smiled her childish side showed up. "Earth, here I come!"
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
"I'm so exhausted, going there is a lot tiring than bringing someone here in this dimension." Mia grumbled as she slumped on the floor.
The faceless girl chuckled. "You aren't fully awake yet that is why you get tired easily."
"I hope I did well in calling her, we will need her in the team." Mia stated as she tried her best to stay awake. "Why am I sleepy, I thought spirits don't sleep?"
"Yes they don't! But you aren't dead yet, that is why you easily get tired."
"I….. is that soooo." Mia totally closed her eyes and went to slumber.
The faceless woman smiled as she turned into a little girl now her face can be seen.
"Rest, Mia, you need it." She caressed Mia's hair. "Soon your team will lean on you for support."
The girl smiled. "Will, maybe they will come to you for love advises." Her voice is a lot more excited as shone in her dreamy faced. "I guess, even Dad will come to you."

It had been a week since the defeat of Dai Shi. Everyone are on training to ready themselves from the upcoming battle.
"Andros, I need you to come here in the command, right now!" Billy said through the intercom.
Andros, who at the moment is sparring with Jason, look at his sparring mate, Jason just shrug his shoulder.
"We better go check it out." Jason offered. Andros nodded and both made their way to the command room.
Billy was outside the command room when the two arrive.
"So what is it? Did any of the rangers bring some of their team mate?" Andros asked sarcastically.
"Well, they are helpful." Billy defended. "Kendrix has a lot of knowledge regarding technologies so it is really great to have her here." Andros made a face.
"We need someone who can fight. Like Jayden and his team." Andros stated.
Jason smiled. "Mind me to remind you, that one of them might be Mia's boyfriend."
Andros stopped, eyes widely opened. "NO…"
His two companions laugh at his reaction.
"Mia is still young, we can't let this happen."
"I can't wait to see her wearing a wedding gown." Jason said trying not to laugh at how Andros reacts to all of this.
"Wait, Mike once told me that Mia really wore a wedding dress in one of their operation during their ranger mission. I wished I saw her wear than." Billy said as he rides with Jason's idea of making fun of the red space ranger.
Andros at the moment is now very serious. "Who is the fake groom?" He asked.
Billy shook his head. "That is the one important thing I didn't ask." Billy said. Jason nudges him when they notice how Andros acted.
"God, that was priceless. I wonder how Tommy would act knowing that Mia had a fake wedding?" Jason whispered.
Billy chuckled. "How much more, if he learned that the wedding happened twice?" This made the two laughed out loud and made Andros glared at them.
Another laugh was heard near in front of them. The three look who it was and it made Andros smiled.
"That was priceless, Andros. I never expected to see you act like that."
"Karone, thank goodness you're safe." Andros said as he hugs his sister. It has been two years since the last time he saw his sister, she suddenly disappear without a trace. All he knew was she was with Leo, but the moment he asked where she was, Leo just shook his head.
"Where have you been?" Andros asked.
"Hiding, I felt that Dark spectre is back, and I won't let him use me again." Karone explained.
"Why the sudden change?" Billy asked.
"A girl came to me; she said things that opened my eyes to the truth. She seems to know me, and even you, Andros." Karone said.
"Who could it be?" Billy asked.
"I guess we know who it was already." Jason said looking at Andros. Andros got the message.
"Come with me, I want you to meet someone." He said as he holds Karone's hand and pulled her.
Karone saw the transparent girl before, now laying in the bed motionless and seem lifeless.
"She is the girl I am talking about." Karone informed. The three sighed.
"Karone, this is Mia, she is the Celestial Vessel and our adopted daughter." Andros said.
Karone looked at Andros. "Now I understand. I will help you guys, no matter what happened."
Andros smiled. "Are you sure?"
Karone nodded. "I have to face Dark spectre, if I let my fear overrule me, then I would never become free. I want to be free, and that will only happen if I face my fear head ups."
Andros smiled widely. Nodding in agreement, he look at Mia's sleeping form, and silently thanking him for what she had done for Karone.

Mia woke up at the moment where she saw a little girl looking at Tommy.
"That girl!" Mia look around, trying to find the faceless woman. Until something hit her, she once again look at the girl. "The faceless woman and I are one. The faceless woman was me?"
"You finally notice." The girl said as she transformed into the faceless woman. "I am you; I am the part of you that you had denied for so long." The faceless woman once again turned into a little girl. "The one, who keeps on longing for him, the one who wanted to be with him, that, was me." The girl said as she looked at Tommy.
Mia looked down as tears started to roll down her eyes. Then she could feel something that seem to be holding her right hand. She looked at Tommy and saw that he was holding her right hand.
"I can feel him holding my hand."
"I want to be with him, before you finally wake up, from your slumber." The girl said as she started to walk towards the now sleeping Tommy.
And with it, she entered in his dreams. Mia was able to see it, but she doesn't know how it was.
Tommy's dream
He was standing in the middle of the fields planted with red and pink flowers. There, he saw a little Asian girl, gathering flowers and making it into a crown.
He got fascinated watching the little girl, until the girl look at him and smiled. She stood up and run towards him and offered him the crown flowers.
He took it and smiled. "Why didn't you come to get me, dad?" the girl bubbly asked. Tommy looked at her, eyes wide open. He leveled down to the girl.
"Mia?" He asked. The girl nodded and smiled.
Tommy smiled too and took the girl into a warm and gentle hug. "I'm sorry, honey, for not coming. Daddy has to save the world so you could have a safe place to play.''
''I see. Will you come when you aren't busy anymore?" the girl asked the moment she looked at Tommy's face. He smiled and nodded, tears are now breaming in his eyes.
"That is a promise?" He nodded again.
The girl smiled and run away from him going somewhere. He was about to catch her, but the earth is suddenly quiver.
He looked at the girl, fear in his eyes.
(Tommy woke up)
He immediately looked at Mia, then at the person who shook him.
"Tommy, are you okay?" A worried voice said.
"Trini!"
"You were sobbing, I couldn't think of anything else but to wake you up."
"I am fine." Tommy once again looked at Mia and smiled.
*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*((*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(
Trini was inside the room where Mia is, but she felt someone is staring at her coldly. She scans the room and saw someone he never expected to see.
"I'm sorry; I thought no one was here so I came to check on Mia." Trini said, she was about to leave.
"Why are you avoiding me, Mia?" A man's voice asked.
Trini stopped and looked at him.
"No, I'm not." Trini stated. "Why should i do that?"
Jason stood up and move towards her. "You tell me, Trini. Why?"
"I don't know what you mean."
"After I went back to aid Tommy, you never answered my calls. You even avoided me when I try calling Zack so I could talk to you." Jason is now trying to control his voice not to yell at her.
Trini looked at him; he could feel his eyes piercing through her soul. "Why would I feel guilty, I had to do that so I could move on."
"Tell me, why did you do that?"
"Why do I have to explain everything to you?" Trini bolted. "I am not allowed to do those things that I did?"
Jason's frustration had gone in to him.
"I don't mean that, all I am asking is your reason."
"Why do I have to tell you my reasons?" she asked sarcastically.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh….. Why do you have to be so stubborn?" He hissed as he hold his head and turn his back on her.
"I am not stubborn." Trini hal yelled. "It was….."
Trini suddenly stopped which made Jason looked at her.
"What now? Have you realized your mistake?" Jason asked, he could see disbelief in her wide opened eyes, and now not moving while looking at something. When he looked at where Trini is looking, he too, couldn't believe what he sees.
"Is this true? Or my eyes are just deceiving me?"
"I guess it is true." Jason was starting to smile widely.
"Jason, call the doctor, quick." Trini ordered.
Jason nodded and run through the door going to the lounge. On the way, he bumps into Tommy.
"Are you okay?" Tommy asked.
"Mia." Jason gasped, trying to catch his breath. Tommy was on high alert the moment he heard the name.
"What happened to her, tell me?" Tommy said.
"Trini and I were arguing, well, we are arguing on why she suddenly stopped answering my call." Jason looked at Tommy who look at him differently.
"Direct to the point, Jase." He said with a stain of irritation.
Jason just smirked at Tommy.
"She is awake, Tommy." Upon hearing it, Tommy ran to Mia's room while Jason went on to inform the doctor.
"Everything is fine." The doctor said looking at Mia. "We can remove the other equipment connected to your body now."
The doctor's companion helped in removing the things that are connected to her body, within minutes she was able to breath independently again.
Kim immediately gave her a warm and tight embrace and scolding her for what she did and for making her worry, until Ashley but in and hug Mia too, telling her how happy she was that she is awake now.
She apologizes to what happened and made sure that it will not happen again.
After talking to her, everyone left leaving Tommy alone with Mia. Mia smiled at him. Tommy sat to the chair beside her at fidgeted.
Mia chuckled. "I'm happy that you are my father, dad."
Tommy looked at her with teary eyes.
"I'm sorry for not coming for you before. For what happened…"
Mia stopped him before he could utter another word. "I am not bitter on what had happened before. I am even thankful of it because it made me the person who I am now.''
Tommy smiled. "Thank you!"
"I love you, Dad. I always meant to tell you that. I am thankful that I have you as my father." Mia said before she fell to a deep slumber.
Tommy smiled as his hand stroke her hair.
"I love you too, my princess."
