-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Leo and Michael got out of the front seats of Leo's jeep. Terra jumped out the jeep and adjusted her straps on her backpack. Terra had to be escorted every morning by her brothers from the parking lot to the door of the school, which was a bit insane. She could walk home alone but walking inside the school with her brothers was a bit insane to her own opinion. Michael had a few of his friends walk with him, they were debating over their science theories, and some of Leo's friends came over, bragging about their hot girlfriends. Terra felt so out of place with her two brother, with her whole family. She just wished it was school break so her older brother, Jimmy, could come home and listen to her vent about all of her issues like he usually does.
"Terra!"
Terra looks up to see the twins, Ally, and Sean walking over. Terra forms a smile, finally some people she can tolerate. People who understood her and accepted her. Just as Terra went to join them, she felt someone pull on her backpack. Turning her head, she sees Leo shake his head at her.
"No until we get inside the school." He says.
Terra groans and shoves him off of her, "Knock it off Leo."
"Hey squirt, I'd listen to your brother." A friend of Leo's said.
Terra glares, "Shut up you annoying, self-centered, piece of crap." Terra said rudely.
Terra's friends stood a bit in shock but totally saw that coming. Joshua was more shocked than the rest of them, Jacob and the Verde sisters just shook their head while realizing what was going to happen next.
Terra points her finger at her other brother, "Don't even say a thing Michael." Terra says without looking at him.
Michael backed up with his hands up, and glanced at his friends who were just as stunned and confused. Leo crossed his arms on his chest with a look like he wasn't going to allow his sister to bully him, his friends were behind him. Terra was in her brother's face, even if she had to get on her toes a little.
"You know the rules," Leo said.
"Yeah the stupid rules for walking me to school when I was in grade school." Terra said.
"Dad says-." Leo was cut off.
Terra shakes her head at her brother, "Quit treating me like a child!" She screamed.
Leo looked at his sister, "You are a child!" He shouts.
Terra begins to walk away, "I'm done."
Leo grabs her arm, "Terra."
Terra shoves him back, the force caused him to fall onto the ground. His buds were a bit shocked but some were shocked that Terra had enough power to knock down her brother. Then again, Leo wasn't out to cause any form of pain on his sister.
"I said I am done." Terra says and begins to walk into the school without her brothers.
Jacob nudges his brother, girlfriend, and friend. Then the four followed Terra into the school. Terra remained hot-headed and annoyed. Jacob, Sean, Ally, and Joshua were a bit afraid to say a single word they were walked along side with Terra.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
In Terra's history class, she was daydreaming until someone nudged her. She shook her head and noticed who did that, a guy in her class named Charlie. Charlie had natural red hair, green eyes, pale skin, and freckles across his face. He was wearing a black and red striped shirt, black holey jeans, and black tennis shoes. Charlie and Terra had been friends for a while but due to some issues with Charlie's family the two don't hang out much.
"You okay?" Charlie asks as he spins his pencil in his fingers.
Terra groans, "Its my stupid brothers."
Charlie raised his eyebrow, "How so?"
Terra's head was now laying on her desk, "He keeps treating me like a baby. I am fifteen years old."
Charlie grins and then chuckles. This caused Terra to blush and lift her head with an angry expression.
"What's so darn funny?" She blushed.
"You." He says.
"What?" She asks.
Charlie leans his head on his right hand, "Listen Terra, you are lucky to be born with so many brothers. Sure, they may be a bit different and share their obsessions to be just jerks however they are family. Heck, if I was you I'd be happy. Remember I am an only child, so just having some brothers to have my back would just be cool." Charlie says.
Terra frowns, "What would you know. They've always been so protective of me."
Charlie nods, "I see."
Terra leans her head back in her chair, "I think it has something to do with my mom." She says.
Charlie turns his body to face her, "How so? Didn't you say your mom died?" He asks.
Terra nods, "Yeah but from what my eldest brother Rafe said is that I look so much like my mom its scary." Terra said.
Charlie nods, "Well that makes sense now." Charlie said.
Terra looks at him, "Huh?"
"The reason why your family is so obsessed with being overprotective." He says.
"Enlighten me," Terra said.
Charlie looks at Terra, "You are the last thing left from your mom. They don't want to loose you." Charlie says.
Terra pondered over that, "You think?" She asks.
The bell rings for the next class, "I'm positive." He says as he gets up.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
In study hall Terra walks over to Jacob and Sean, the two couple were doing their own individual things. Jacob was working on a five page essay whereas Sean was finishing her Spanish work. The two noticed the freshmen just standing there waiting to be noticed, Jacob put his pencil down and nudged his girlfriend. That was the moment when Terra sat down at their table.
"Can I ask you something?" Terra asks.
Jacob nods, "Anything Terra." He says.
Sean looks worried, "Everything alright?"
Terra nods, "Yes- er, no." Terra said.
Jacob looks at Sean then to Terra, "Does this have to do with what happened this morning?"
Terra nods, "Yeah. I was just wondering, you guys are older siblings so- how protective are you of your younger siblings?" Terra asks.
Jacob glanced to Sean, "Babe?"
Sean knew what Jacob was doing. He didn't want to answer first so he was giving her the spot to answer for Terra. It wasn't because he didn't want to help her, it was more like he wasn't sure how to answer the simple question.
Sean pointed her finger on her chin, "Um- well. My two younger brothers are ten and twelve, and well- Jordan likes to get into stuff he shouldn't and I end up acting like a mother instead of a sister. Then Drew likes to cause trouble by trying to break everything, so I end up acting like a dictator instead of his older sister. Ha, its kinda funny though. I act all strict and full of answers to them, but when I know its time to go and experience life on their own I give them space unless they want me." Sean said.
Terra nods, "So how do you know if they are ready?" She asks.
Sean shakes her head, "You never know but as an older sibling you need to understand that your baby brother or sister is no longer a child anymore." Sean says with a soft smile.
Terra nods, "I guess I understand."
Suddenly the girls shift their eyes to Jacob. Jacob, who is usually good at giving any means of advice, was awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.
"Um- well Joshua and I are only a few minutes apart, but I've always been protective of him and still am." Jacob said.
"Why? He is the same age as you?" Terra asks.
Jacob chuckles to himself, "As much as there are times I want to kill him for being reckless, I understand he is my brother and still have to look out for him. It's my job and he can get himself into stupid situations." Jacob said.
Terra nods, "Okay."
Jacob looks at the Yellow Ranger, "Leo and Michael love you. They only act the way they do because they want you to grow up strong and independent, they want you to be able to stand up for yourself which you do ever so well. However, this over protection act of theirs can be from a personal source. Something that would have messed with them, maybe with all of your other brothers."
Sean lightly shoves her boyfriend, "Okay there mister psychology."
Terra nods with a smile, "Thanks guys."
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Zane and Liz were walking in town, she was enjoying her visit even though she was going to hate the drive back to Meadowedge just to get back to college. Liz was enjoying spending time with her old friend and Red Ranger. Zane was showing her to all the stores and even stopped for lunch. They stopped at a small cafe for some coffee to just talk about what has been going on.
"So, how is Tia?" Zane asks.
"Good, she is enjoying it in England." Liz said and took a drink of her coffee.
Zane nods, "Alex having fun there?" He asks.
Liz grins, "He is finally use to all the rain." She says.
Zane nods to himself, "So him."
Liz's smile faded, "Why did you distance yourself from the rest of us?"
Zane looks at her, "Things have been going on?"
Liz touches his hand, "Everything alright with your bipolar disorder?"
Zane nods, "Yeah."
Liz frowns, "I can understand having issues keeping in touch with Jayden half the time. He is moving so much with Rachel its hard to keep track of him, but Zane- we're all friends." Liz said.
Zane nods and rubs the back of his head, "Guess I am just- wanting to start a new life."
Liz sighs as she picks up her coffee, "As our once fearless leader you are sure running from something."
Zane chuckles to himself as he picks up his drink, "Maybe I am."
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
School ended and the rangers all met up at the front door, as they were beginning to head out they hear someone call for one of their members. It was Leo shouting for Terra. Terra stopped and turned to look at Leo, she kept her glare and her hands on her hips. Leo looked a bit upset but kept this calm look to him. Zack, Nathaniel, and Rory were a bit confused on what was going on as Ally leaned over to fill them in.
"Terra, I need to talk to you." Leo says.
Terra shakes her head, "Sorry Leopold but I have to go."
She begins to leave but felt her brother touch her shoulder, "Terra please."
Terra stops and looks directly at Jacob and Sean, the two nod. Terra sighs and turns to face her brother again. This time he was showing how he truly felt, he was a bit upset and Terra could tell.
"I am sorry. Listen, I guess throughout the years we haven't been the nicest and that's my fault as your big brother. I am suppose to defend you, but I joined Rafe and Steven. I'm sorry Terra." Leo said.
Terra looked touched, "Wow Leo- um I."
Before she could finish what she was about to say her morpher as well as the others beeped. Zack looked at the others and then to Terra, the others began to head out while Zack took a few steps over to Terra and leaned to her ear.
"Hurry up, we'll handle it." Zack whispers and then heads off.
Leo looked a bit confused when her friends ran off, "Where did they run off to?"
"Karate practice." Terra answers.
Leo nods, "Explain how you were able to knock me down."
Terra nods and looks away, "Listen was the only reason why you are so protective of me is because I look so much like mom?"
Leo looks at her, "I guess that was a reason. I was told by dad, whether I liked it or not, to look out for my baby sister. Protect her." Leo said.
Terra forms a slight smile, "Leo you don't have to look out for me anymore. I am not a scared child anymore." She says.
Leo nods, "Yeah. You are growing into a wonderful person, looking so much like mom every day." Leo said.
Terra smiles, "Thanks Leo."
Leo hugs her, "No problem squirt."
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Nathaniel and Rory attacked the Rageir to the left, Sean and Joshua handled the Rageir on the right, lastly Ally and Jacob were handling the Rageir in the center. Zack held his sword and was attacking the Rageir that was trying to attack the citizens. Suddenly Terra jumped in wearing her suit and landed on the Rageir's back. She grabbed the shoulders of the beast and flipped it in the air which hit the other Rageir that was coming nearby.
"Took your time!" Nathaniel shouted.
Terra smiles, "Oh shut up."
Rory slashed at the Rageir, "Guy a little less talking and more fighting."
Jacob shoves the Rageir off of him, kicking the monsters in the stomach. Ally punches them and does a cartwheel to avoid their axe hands. Sean dodges their hands and does a back flip. Rory goes into this boxing mode and swiftly avoids their hits and gives the Rageir in front of him a punch upward his jaw. Nathaniel grabs the arm of one of Rageir and throws it at another one. Joshua, still getting use to this, jumped back to avoid the monsters then punches one dead in the face. Terra does a roll to avoid the axe striking near the ground, and then she kicks her feet up at the beast causing it to loose its balance. Zack hit the end of the handle in the face of the Rageir and then kicked the other one coming near him in the face.
"How about we finish them," Ally says.
Zack grins, "Sounds like a plan." Zack says looking at his team.
Joshua nods, "Good." He mutters.
Jacob grins as he avoids a hit as he stands back to back with his brother, "Keep up rookie."
Sean punched the Rageir with her gauntlets, which sent them flying in the air then an explosion occurred. Nathaniel was stabbing them as he moved through with his knives, which wounded the Rageir into an explosion. Ally was firing her arrows at the Rageir, she did a flip in the air and was firing her arrows and multiple Rageir at once causing a loud explosion. Joshua held his kama and sliced at the beast causing an explosion. Jacob fired his blaster at them causing this line of explosions from where he blasted them. Rory was slicing the Ragier with his blade and then tagged in with Zack, he grabbed the Red Rangers hand and tossed him at the Rageir. Zack held his sword and was slashing at the beast. Once Zack landed, he and the other rangers stood by each other as this huge explosion was the mark of their victory.
"Another battle bites the dust." Zacks says.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Terra entered her home after their battle to hear voices. Which was odd, Michael and Leo should be the only ones she'd hear since her dad was out on flight until he was to return from Miami. She drops her backpack by the kitchen door as she enters fully, as she gets closer she hears the voices get louder and realizing who they were. Once she reached the living room she was shocked to see who was there. Terra stood in the living room shocked seeing all of her older brothers. Rafe was sitting on the couch next to Steven, and next to Steven was Jimmy. Michael and Leo were sitting on the sofas in the living room. Suddenly Steven looks up to see Terra standing there.
Steven had short brown hair and brown eyes, while wearing his suit and had a briefcase next to him. Which would likely mean he just got off work and is working on a case. Rafe was wearing work clothes from his cafe, so likely is that Rafe left from work to come home to see his siblings without stopping to see his girlfriend. Jimmy had shorter hair than he had in a while, with his hair dyed to black and his brown eyes piercing ever so. He wore a Stanford t-shirt with his jeans.
"What's going on?" Terra asks.
Jimmy stands up and smiles, "Came to visit my baby sister." He says and hugs Terra.
Terra held onto Jimmy so tightly, she thought she was going to cry but she didn't. Terra felt Jimmy mess with her hair and he pulled back with his gentle smile on his face. Steven stood up next to hug his younger sister, he was shocked that Terra did indeed holding onto him like she did miss him. Steven was expecting more of her hitting him or maybe just shoving him but he was happy to be embraced by his younger sister.
"Look at you, you got a little bit taller since I last saw you." Steven teased.
Terra smiles, "And it looks like your getting gray hair." She teased as well.
Leo smirks at her and stands, "I thought since dad won't be back for a few more days and Jimmy was able to get the time off from school as well as Steven and Rafe from work that we spend the weekend together." Leo said.
Terra turns her eyes directly on Leo, a smile forms. She walks over and Leo stands. Terra hugs Leo tightly and then pulls back to hug Michael.
Michael glanced at Terra, "Who are you and what happened to Terra?"
"She's still here, and can kick your butt." Terra joked.
The Sloane family all laughed and were happy as each of the brothers gathered things for their movie night. Terra was happy, she was at peace. Jimmy pulled out the DVD, it was one of Terra's favorite movie. Rocky.
"Why that movie?" Rafe asks.
"Because its Terra's favorite." Jimmy said.
Steven rolls his eyes, "Only because of the song Rocky trains to."
Michael while hugging a pillow on the floor looks at his brothers and sister, "What was that song?"
Terra smiles, "Eye Of The Tiger."
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Zane was in his hotel room. Liz went out to get their pizza while he was just watching TV. He was bored and then he heard his phone ring, he looked at the caller ID. It was Rena, it had been a few days since he told her about "the kiss" so he was a bit nervous. Zane presses the answer button and placed the phone up to his ear and awaited to hear her yell at him and call him all sorts of names.
"Hey," Rena says.
"Hi," Zane says.
There was an awkward pause, "I heard Liz is visiting you out in Norland."
Zane nods and rubs the back of his neck, "Yeah."
There was another awkward pause. Zane swallowed his pride and exhaled, he knew his girlfriend probably heard it over the phone but didn't say anything.
"Rena, about what I told you-." He was cut off.
"I'm not mad." She says.
Zane looked puzzled as he heard his girlfriend say what she said, "What? Why?"
He heard Rena sigh, "I- I just packed up my things and left to help Tim. I know you were upset about it and who could blame you, I wasn't spending every second with my boyfriend but instead with a friend and his rangers." Rena said.
Zane rubs his hand through his hair, "This isn't your fault." Zane said.
He heard Rena chuckle, "I guess not but still. I feel like such a terrible person for leaving you like that." She says.
Zane nods to himself, "I know you do. We've made- some interesting choices the last few months." He said.
"Why did you drop out of college?" Rena asks.
Zane placed his hand on the small table in the hotel room, "Its complicated."
Rena sighed and Zane heard it, "Zane you wanted to go to college. You got yourself that amazing scholarship, you basically had a free ride. Why quit?"
"Rena, I don't feel comfortable talking about it right now." He said.
"Okay," Rena said.
Zane looks at the mirror in the room, "When are you coming back home?" He asks.
He hears a deep exhale, "I'm not sure." She said.
Zane nods to himself, "I understand."
"I have to go. Tim- he needs me- er the rangers for something." Rena said.
Zane nods again, "Yeah okay. Go, it's fine." He said.
"Okay. I love you." Rena said.
"Love you," Zane said and then heard the sound of his girlfriend hanging up on him.
Zane stood in the hotel room holding his phone, he turned to the mirror. Staring at his reflection and then all of his feelings came bursting out. His hidden feelings about dropping out of college, his girlfriend far away, kissing his friend, distancing himself from his old friends, and just everything in general. Zane then violently threw his phone at the mirror while shouting. The mirror busted and shattered pieces of glass fell to the floor as well as a broken cell phone.
"Darn it," He muttered.
Chapter sixteen is up! Sorry it took so long, and I have a good reason why its been taking me so long. I have a week and two days left of my senior year, everything is getting pretty stressful and chaotic its not even funny. So that's why I've been a bit lazy and not as quick for updates, which I am so sorry about. Nevertheless, I'll try to figure out a good schedule to manage the rest of my senior schedule with updating my series.
I originally wanted this chapter to be some bad a$$ chapter about Terra, but I thought those kind of chapters will come further along in the series. Instead I wanted to focus on her family, and make their relationship kinda blossom instead of the strain it was. Also about Rena and Zane, its going to be an interesting thing I am working on with them. Sooner or later she will appear in the series, so look forward to that.
NEXT TIME: "Lucas, is that you?" "Dad-?" "Stay back- I don't want to hurt you."
In the next chapter: An Interesting Reunion
