Their Children

Chapter One: Tunnels

"Ow! Shoot!" Wined Sammie.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing Con, just stubbed my toe. Shoot. Where are we?"

"It's so dark. Oh! I wish I had my flash light."

"I think we all wish that Liv." Tiffany then pushed onto something against the wall and lit the area up. Looked as though they were in a tunnel or in a cave.

"Or, automatic lights should work." Alex stated grinning. "Now, is everyone here?" They all looked around and decided that they were all indeed here.

"Alright, then let's press on, and see if we can find a way out of here." Tommy stated and took the lead, with Alex closely behind. Sammie was behind him with Connor behind her and Marcus walking with Livvy and Tiffany.

As they got further along, Tiffany began to lag behind. Soon Marcus and Livvy were side by side and Tiffany was quite a few steps behind them.

Tommy and Alex decided it best to huddle the group up since they'd been walking for well over two hours. "Okay guys, let's stop for a second and regroup." Alex stated and they stopped and the others walked up to them.

"Okay, we need to figure out what to do, because this tunnel does not seem to end." Marcus stated.

"Tiffany! Oh my God guys, Tiffany is missing." Livvy stated then ran down the tunnel the way they came yelling Tiffany all the way.

"Livvy!" Marcus yelled after her, then followed, as did everyone else.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Tiffany!" Livvy shouted one last time once Tiffany came into view. Tiffany stood facing the rock wall. She stood still as everyone crowded around her. "T?" Livvy questioned as she touched Tiffany's shoulder. Tiffany turned from the wall and looked at Livvy. Livvy gasped and took a step back. Tiffany's eyes were glowing pink. She then turned back to the wall and pushed onto a specific spot. The wall caved in and opened up a hidden passage. Everyone stood in awe and Tiffany passed out. Tommy caught her before she touched the ground.

Tommy looked at the bundle in his arms then Alex. He looked to everyone else, then the new passage. "Okay guys, I say we find out where this leads us. This maybe our ticket out."

"Wait." Stated Livvy. "What about T? Maybe there's something dangerous this way."

"That's a possibility." Stated Alex, frowning as he looked at Tiffany's limp form. "But, I think we need to see where this will lead."

"Alex is right." Connor stated taking a step forward. "We need to find a way out, and this might just be the right way to go."

"Yeah Livvy, wherever this leads, might take us to someone who could look at Tiff. But we need to keep forward, we don't want to get out of here too late." Sammie replied patting Livvy on the back as she walked forward with Connor following behind Alex and Tommy who've already entered the tunnel.

Marcus took Livvy's hand. "Yeah, I almost forgot about curfew. Xian's thugs will be out tonight no doubt." He shook his head as he motioned Livvy through the opening. This tunnel was different than the other one. It spread out much wider from side to side. So they were all basically clustered together to prevent anyone from getting separated.

Alex led the way this time with Tommy at his side carrying Tiffany. Connor and Sammie were directly behind them with Marcus and Livvy at their side. Sammie looked at Livvy and started up a conversation. "You know, Angel Grove has the worst problem with Xian's thugs. Since this is the home town of the origins of the Power Rangers, they've pretty much given us worst treatment. If you are caught outside after curfew, you're pretty much a goner." She then looked straight ahead. "I know some of you guys are new to the area, but word of advice, don't be out after nine."

"Is it really that bad?" Asked Livvy.

Marcus looked down at her. "Afraid so."

"I wonder why my mom feels safe here then." Said a soft voice in the front of the line.

Tommy looked down at the person in his arms. "So sleeping beauty has awakened now." Tiffany grinned and willed him to set her down, but he shook his head and kept on walking. "No, you should rest some more, we don't know why you fainted."

"No, I can walk." Tiffany stated as she gazed into Tommy's eyes. She noticed sincerity. She then added, "Please." Tommy faltered his steps at the look in her eyes. He knew he would never be able to tell her 'no'. He then stopped walking and set her onto her feet.

"If you start to feel light headed or dizzy or anything, tell me." He said and she smiled at his worry over her well being. She then felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned and saw it was Alex.

"That goes double for me." She grinned, what is with these guys, there has to be a catch. She then laughed as she felt someone crash into her. She looked up and saw brown angry eyes.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again Tiffany Maria Desantos!" She then broke her hug and grinned mischievously. "Besides I know you did it only so you could be carried by Tommy." Tiffany looked shocked. Livvy laughed and noticed Tommy blush. Everyone laughed at Tommy's and Tiffany's expense. Everyone except for Alex, he looked ahead of them and started walking.

"Come on guys, let's keep going." He said over his shoulders as they got moving. Everyone walked in the same positions, but with Tiffany walking in between Tommy and Alex.

Another two hours pass and they get groggy. They just chat amongst themselves to try and take their minds off the negativity of the situation. "So Tiffany, tell me, where are you from?"

Tiffany turned towards Alex to answer his question. "I stayed in Africa for a few years when I was younger. But mainly, I'm from New York."

"Really, Africa and the Big Apple." Alex replied. "How did you like it?"

"Well, Africa, I barely remember, but I used to help my mom with the animals. It was pretty cool. Now the Big Apple is really awesome. In fact that's when I met Livvy. Apparently our parents were really close friends, so we became practically sisters. Even though I'm the dancer and she's the ball player." This little bit of info peeked Marcus' interest.

"Is that so?" He looked at Livvy. "You hoop?" Livvy smiled.

"Yes, but don't listen to Tiffany she hoops too."

"Not like you. This girl needs to go pro, I mean, she can hoop with the best of them." Tiffany said.

"She can't hoop me." Marcus said teasing.

"Wanna bet." Livvy was quick to reply. Tiffany just laughed in the front as Livvy and Marcus went at it.

Tommy looked at Tiffany. "You have a nice laugh."

"Thanks, I try." She then laughed again.

Tommy looked at her inquisitively. "So, you dance right, what style?"

"Oh, a little ballet, ball room, salsa, hip hop, a little of everything. I started off in gymnastics, but fell in love with dancing."

"More like the spot light." Livvy quipped.

"Hey you be quiet back there." Tiffany stated over her shoulder while Livvy laughed.

"The spot light?" Alex asked.

"I do a lot of acting. I was on a few Broadway plays and musicals. But no major part, yet. And now that I'm not in New York anymore, I probably never will have one." She looked a little down.

Tommy grabbed her hand, a bold move for him. "Don't worry, my dad always says, that anything's possible, you just have to believe." She smiled at him as he squeezed her then let go.

"Now enough about me, what about you two, what are you into?" She asked both Tommy and Alex simultaneously.

Alex answered first. "Well Tommy is a bit extreme, well, I guess we both are. You know sky diving, rock climbing, skate boarding, whatever."

Tommy grinned, "Yeah, well Alex has a little bit of poet in him. He's a musician. Plays the guitar and everything. A real big softy." Tommy laughed.

"Hey, okay so I know how to carry a tune, hardly makes me a softy." He glared at Tommy, then looked at Tiffany with a smile. "You know, Tommy's a painter. You should let him paint you sometime." He finished with a grin. Tommy blushed.

"Sounds cool. You guys seem pretty interesting. How about you guys in the back? What do you like to do?" She asked over her shoulder to Connor and Sammie.

"Well Connor is a regular chip off the old block. He not only inherited his father's charming looks, but the brains as well. He spends his time in his own lab, how cool is that." Sammie said proud of her friend.

"Well, only if I'm not with my friends." He smiled at Sammie. "But Sammie is the sports fanatic, so Livvy, you two will probably have a lot in common. Livvy, Tiffany, you probably don't know, but we all have experience in martial arts. Coincidentally, our parents all thought it was a good idea."

"Seriously, my dad used to give me lessons all the time, but then dancing and acting became higher priority for me, so I just practice with him on occasion. He actually owned a dojo there, but had to give it up to move here." Tiffany said.

Livvy nodded her head. "Yeah, my dad use to always have me working on it, which was cool because it kept me in shape for basketball and softball. How odd, all of us know martial arts, what are the chances?" After Livvy's statement the ground beneath them sunk, then opened up and they all fell through.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Ow! Great, in the dark yet again." Stated Sammie. "Is everyone alright? Connor?"

"Yeah, I'm here. I'm good. Marcus?"

"Okay, I guess. Livvy?"

"Okay for the count. Tiffany?"

"My butt hurts and I landed on something..."

"That would be me."

"Sorry Tommy. Here let me get off you. Did I hurt you?"

"No, I'm good. Alex?"

"Yeah I'm under you, and yeah the weight of two other people is not pleasant." Tommy scrambled off of Alex as soon as Tiffany got off of him.

"Sorry." He helped Alex up. "Okay everyone, let's hold hands, so not to get separated, and try to make our way out of here." They grabbed hands, "Okay is everyone holding hands with someone? Let's start off by the person on the right end saying their name until we come to this end, okay?"

"Connor."

"Sammie."

"Marcus."

"Livvy."

"Alex."

"Tommy. Tiffany where are you? Give me your hand." He reached out into the darkness.

"I'm right here." She stated and grabbed his hand. "Follow me guys, I have a feeling." She then began walking. Not once did she falter in step or collide with a wall. It was like she could see in the dark.

"Wow, Tiffany, you're pretty good at seeing in the dark." Alex stated.

"Yeah, I just have this feeling." She then sped up the walking. Until they were in a light jog.

"Slow down T. We don't want to fall down another hole." Livvy voiced.

"I know where we're going, I can see it, can't you?"

"See what?" Asked Tommy.

"The light." Was all she replied. But the others could only see dark. She suddenly stopped with everyone colliding with each other.

"Okay, I vote for a new leader." Mumbled Marcus.

"No kidding." Replied Connor.

"Sorry guys. But there is something here. Just let me find it." Tiffany stated. She felt around the rock until she felt her hand sink in. "There." She flicked something then stood back. The rock wall flew up into the ceiling. They stood there in awe at what they saw.

There was a hidden corridor behind the wall, but it wasn't a rocky dirt passage like before. It was equipped with ceiling lights, white painted smooth walls, beige colored carpet. "What do you guys think? Should we continue?" Tiffany asked without looking at anyone. She then proceeded without waiting for an answer. Alex stopped her and grabbed her arm.

"Whoa there, wait. We don't know what's up ahead. Or who put this here." Tiffany smiled and put a hand to his chest.

"Don't worry, I have a feeling about this."

"A good or bad one?" Tommy asked.

"I'm not sure yet. But it could go either way." She then broke from Alex's grasp and headed down the corridor with them following behind. Livvy gasped as the wall closed back behind them.

"Well, no turning back now." She stated and walked forward. No longer holding hands now that they could see. Twenty minutes passed with them passing various corridors leading to who knows where. But Tiffany looked like she knew where she was headed. Then all of a sudden they come up to two enormous bronze doors.

"This is it." Tiffany states and pushes both doors opened.
