Zane stood next to Anya in HQ, the whole Unity Rangers team up thing had died down and the kids had spent the day off. They earned it, yet there was something still bugging Anya. Zane knew it and he didn't dare leave her alone. Zane walked over to Anya, she was writing a report about what the rangers and her saw from their last battle until she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Anya,"
Zane saw her look up, "Zane. You should go home."
Zane cross his arms on his chest, "You should too. It's late."
"I won't be able to sleep." Anya said.
Zane knelt down next to her, "Is it because of Zack getting hurt? Me being captured? Or that Lucas didn't get out?"
Anya's eyes met Zane's eyes, "It's what he told Terra to tell me."
Zane nods, "Love conquers all. What did he mean by that? He said you would know what he means."
Anya looks at him, "I wish I knew. But- I just don't."
Zane placed a hand on her shoulder, "Maybe you should get some rest. You've been a wreck since Jason, Terra, and I were saved." Zane said.
Anya rubs her hands over her eyes, "Maybe."
Zane pulls her in for a hug, "It'll be okay. We'll figure it, we always do."
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Dr. Zingerot was pacing back and forth in his headquarters. None of his subjects dared to get in his way. Ruko stood off to the side, keeping mouth shut. CiCi just avoided her master's glances over. Dr. Zingerot was angry, he was more than angry he was fueled with rage.
"Why did I agree with team up with those failures!" The beast shouted.
CiCi stepped forward, "To be fair they lost their hostages. We still have one."
Dr. Zingerot turned his attention to the panda, "Yes. The very smart, Lucas Burrows."
Ruko grins, "And I have some inside that there is another gem that is likely going to point the rangers in the direction to a new ranger."
Dr. Zingerot nods, "I see. Do you have any idea who this ranger could be?"
Ruko shakes his head, "Um- no sir but-!"
Dr. Zingerot threw a large rock at the direction of Ruko, "No? I demand answers not dead ends!"
CiCi lifted a hand up, "Actually sir. I do recall a human being rather helpful to the rangers the last time I faced them one on one." CiCi said.
Dr. Zingerot turns to her, "Why keep your mouth shut?"
CiCi shrugs, "I didn't think it was important until now."
"Well, tell us the name." Dr. Zingerot said.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
"Roxanne!"
Roxanne glanced up, it was her mother. Roxanne was trying to work on changing her car's oil, but of course it would be her mother to stop her from doing anything remotely anything a young lady shouldn't do. Roxanne sits up and sighs as he mother walks over.
"Roxanne, what are you doing?" Her mother asks.
"It's Roxxy," Roxanne said, "And I'm changing the oil."
"No we can call someone to do it." Her mom said.
Roxanne rolls her eyes, "And waste money we don't have. I learned from Uncle Jim how to do it, and it's easy." She said.
Roxanne felt her mother grab her and pull her up, "No. You will not get under the car and get yourself all filthy." Her mother says.
Roxanne groans and crosses her arms on her chest. Since her parents split her mother has been very protective on her daughter's activities, on who she hangs out with, and mostly who she dates. The whole school shooting sent her mom on the deep end even though she didn't see Roxanne until she got off work, which at that point Roxanne was at the police station with Mr. Winchester.
"You can't control my life forever, mom." Roxanne said.
Her mother smirks, "I am your mother and until you move out I make the rules."
Roxanne watches her mother walk off. Roxanne grabbed a screwdriver from the toolbox next to her and threw it across the garage. Roxanne let out an annoyed shout, and then grabbed her bike from the garage. She climbed onto her bike and peddled off toward the park.
'One day, she'll have to realize I'm not a kid anymore,' Roxanne thought.
Roxanne passed a few local businesses and even the police station. When she finally reached the park, she saw some parents with their children at the playground. Roxanne parked her bike by a bike rest, and then began to walk the bike trail alone. Roxanne kicks a rock, she was annoyed with everything.
"Jeez, I am seventeen years old. You'd think she'd try to make me be independent." Roxanne said to herself.
She groans and continues to walk the path. She'd see a few bikers pass her, and even a few hikers. Though that was about it, it was as if she was all alone. Totally alone. Roxanne let out a deep sigh and found herself more calm then she was before. She then jolted when she heard the sound of rustling in a brush, she turned to see a rabbit hop out.
"Okay, Roxxy don't get paranoid. There isn't anyone here." She said to herself.
Suddenly she turned around to see a rat monster standing in front of her, "Oh how wrong you are child."
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
In HQ, Anya heard the sound of a machine beeping. Zane stopped training to turn over to his friend. Anya ran over to the source of the beeping, at this point Zane and the rangers were walking over. Anya stopped the sound of the beeping but noticed something shocking.
"What is it, auntie?" Zack asks with a small grin.
Anya glances at Zane and then to the ranger, "The orange gem is out of control, something is up."
Ally scratches her head, "What does it mean?"
Zane looked serious, "The new ranger is in danger."
Joshua and Jacob looked at each other and said at the same time, "You serious?"
Anya nods, "It appears so." She then turned away to the computers.
The rangers and Zane followed her to the giant super computer, "So where it the noob?" Nathaniel asks.
Anya was typing on the computer, "It appears the new ranger is in the park. On the bike trail in the woods, an easy place to be a target to a surprise attack." Anya said.
Sean glanced at the others, "How would they know who the new ranger is? We don't even know."
Terra crosses her arms on her chest, "Unless this ranger has been seen with us before. It has to be someone we know."
Rory looks at the others, "Could it be someone from school?"
"Has to be." Jacob said agreeing with Terra.
The the gears in Zack's head finally began to work, "Roxxy."
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Roxanne stood there as the rat monster stared at her, "Who are you?" Roxanne asks.
"Ruko, I serve the mighty Dr. Zingerot."
Roxanne rolls her eyes, "Sorry bud but I don't care."
Ruko chuckles, "You're sassy."
Roxanne took a small step backwards, "And you're just creepy."
Ruko grins, "Sorry sweetie but you're not going anywhere."
Ruko snaps his fingers and Rageirs appears all around her. Roxanne glanced around to see the weird bull-headed beast with the axe hands. She saw one come charging at her, she quickly dodged the axe hands. She rolled on the ground to move away. She ran up a tree, then flipped in the air kicking the Rageir back onto the ground. Roxanne stood in a boxing pose, when one Rageir came close the girl did so many punches in the chest without the beast having time to attack and then she kicked it dead in the stomach. She flipped her head up and quickly avoided the axe hands, she grabbed the arm of one Rageir and slashed at the other ones before kicking that Rageir in the back onto the ground face first.
Roxanne stood watching the Rageir begin to run off in fear then sees Ruko chuckle, "That was impressive."
Roxanne glares, "What do you want?"
Ruko points at Roxanne, "You. You're a threat to my master and his plan."
Roxanne looks a bit confused, "What are you talking about?"
Ruko grins, "You are the next ranger kiddo."
Roxanne looked at the seriousness in Ruko's eyes but still didn't want to allow herself to accept that, "Yeah- right."
Ruko took one step forward, then a blast came from above. Ruko and Roxanne looked up to see the Blue Ranger leap down and in front of Roxanne. Roxanne seemed a bit shocked and then from behind there were the other rangers joining him. The Pink Ranger and Yellow Ranger stood in front of Roxanne, more like guarding. The Red Ranger kept his cool as he stood next to the Blue Ranger as well as the Purple and White Ranger stood in front. The Gold and Black Ranger stood behind the four in front. Roxanne felt a great deal overwhelmed on what was going on.
"Oh my, my. The rangers have arrived." Ruko teased.
The Red stood in front, "Back off Ruko or you'll pay."
Ruko grins an evil grin, "Pay? How?"
Red held onto his sword, "I'll send you to a world of pain!"
"A world of pain? Is it the same pain as your father is in, Red Ranger?" Ruko said.
Roxanne glanced from the other colored rangers to the one in the dead center, the Red Ranger. His voice, his stance, his behavior, it was so familiar to her. Roxanne snapped out of her trance to see the Purple Ranger stop the Red Ranger from running into the fight recklessly.
"Dude, remember what Jason said before he left." Purple said.
The White Ranger nods, "Always obverse your enemy before making an attack."
Red just tighten his grip on his sword, then Ruko pulls out his own sword. Ruko stands as if he is ready for an attack. Red turns back to Gold and Black, he nods at them. Gold and Black began to run forward, Gold jumps in the air and punches forward with her gauntlets. Black holds his blade and goes so slash at the rat monster, but Ruko's blade stopped Black's blade and his tail wrapped itself around Gold's gauntlets.
"Hey-!" Gold shouted.
Ruko whipped his tail which sent the Gold Ranger flying into a tree trunk. The Blue Ranger had a sudden concern and worry behavior in his stance, though Roxanne couldn't tell by his facial expressions. Yellow and Pink exchanged looks before they ran forward. Black was hit by Ruko's blade which sent sparks flying off the Black Ranger. Pink and Yellow did a double attack, while Pink was firing arrows off her bow Yellow was throwing daggers at the rat. Though Ruko just slashed his blade in their direction causing an explosion to sent the other two female rangers flying back.
"Damn it," Red said.
Ruko chuckles, "Admit it. You'll never win against me." Ruko said.
Blue tighten his grip on his blaster, "We'll see about that!"
Blue fired his blaster at Ruko, though the beast was able to dodge it. Ruko appeared behind Blue and hit the Blue Ranger on the back of his neck, then grabbed the ranger and sent him flying in the direction as the Black Ranger. The White Ranger held his knife in front as he blocked Ruko's blade. Roxanne took a step back in disbelief.
"You might as well give up." Ruko says.
Purple holds his kama, "Not gonna happen you rat."
Purple went to attack when Ruko's tail grabbed Purple by his ankles and threw him on top of Blue. White's knife cracked and then was slashed by the blade from Ruko, sparks flew off and White fell onto the ground in front of Roxanne and Red. Roxanne's eyes had now widen from utter shock. Though Roxanne felt a great deal of comfort by having the Red Ranger in front of her. He stood in front of her with his blade pointed at the rat monster.
"Look at this, all alone. Like always." Ruko said.
Red glares, "Your words won't work on me." Red said.
"Right, you weren't foolish like your Blue Ranger. He would have made a perfect solider among my master." Ruko said.
Red did not reply, he held his blade tightly. Then Ruko charged, Red blocked it with one hand on his sword while his other hand was holding Roxanne back. Roxanne stepped back watching the ranger and the monster fight. Red slashed forward and then Ruko clipped the Red Ranger's left shoulder. Red shouted and dropped his sword, he fell on his knees onto the ground. Ruko lowered his sword by the ranger's head.
"Looks like this is the end of you, Red Ranger." Ruko said.
Roxanne looked around, none of the rangers were moving. Roxanne looked back to the Red Ranger, he slowly looked up at Ruko. Ruko had kicked his sword away and chuckled loudly. Roxanne felt something deep within her that she didn't realize she had before, she made her hands into fists and then looked up at the monster.
"Stop!" Roxanne shouted which came out more like a roar.
The roar created a gust of wind which sent Ruko falling onto the ground, Red slowly grabbed his sword and turned his head at Roxanne. Roxanne stood there in utter shock and looked up at the ranger. Ruko stands up, which was more like a stumble. Ruko went to attack when his blade felt as if it was on fire, and dropped it on the ground. Turning around Ruko saw the Red Element Ranger, Ruko glares.
"Sorry but if you can't play nice then you shouldn't be playing at all." The Element Ranger said.
Ruko jumps into a tree above them all, "I'll be back rangers."
Then Ruko disappeared. The Element Ranger got to the Red Ranger, he was checking if he was okay. The Red Ranger nodded, and was ordered by the Element Ranger to check on the others. Gold and Pink were slowly standing as well as Yellow and Black. Purple was getting up first then helped Blue up. The Element Ranger reached Roxanne and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You okay?" He asks.
Roxanne looks at him, "I- I want to go home."
"You need to come with us first." He says.
Roxanne glanced around all nervous like, "But-?"
Suddenly Red appeared next to her, "You can trust us, Roxxy."
Roxanne looked confused, "Wait? How did you know my name?"
Red powered down and now Roxanne saw Zack Calvin in front of her, "Because its me."
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Anya sees Roxanne and the rangers walk in the cave. Roxanne was a bit overwhelmed about what was going on and also a bit impressed with the cave. Anya sees the poor girl, how scared she is and walks over as calmly as possible.
"Hello, my name is Dr. Anya Burrows. I am in charge of the Beast Rangers." Anya said.
Roxanne nods, "I'm Roxanne Dennis."
Anya nods, "We know. I've heard about you from my nephew, Zack." She smiles.
Roxanne glances to Zack and the others in their civilian clothes, "What is this place?"
Ally hops over, "The Beast Warriors HQ."
Roxanne nods, "I see."
Joshua walks next to her, "I totally get what you mean. I was a bit overwhelmed when I was recruited."
Roxanne glanced at the twins passing her to stand next to Anya. Sean walked over to Jacob, to hold his hand of course. Ally and Rory held hands as they stood next to Zane, and Nathaniel and Zack stood in front. Roxanne looked at Terra, who was still next to her for a moment and then walked over to Zack.
"Great, I think we broke her." Terra said.
Jacob glances at Terra, "Terra. She's been through a lot today, give her a break." Jacob said.
Terra sighs, "I wish I was given a break. Our leader refused to give me a break when I was sick." Terra said.
Zack turns to Terra, "How many times do I have to say I am sorry!"
Anya slapped her nephew and Terra upside the head, "Knock it off you too!"
Terra and Zack both looked down, "Sorry."
Joshua and Nathaniel chuckled at that, Sean and Ally smile, Rory and Jaco just had a grin. Zane glanced at Anya with a frighten look and then looked forward at Roxanne. Anya seemed to take Roxanne with a more gentle approach to the whole world of Power Rangers. Which was different than the others but it wouldn't frighten her after the day she had.
"Roxanne, you were chosen." Anya said.
"Why?" Roxanne asks.
"Because of your personality, who you are as a person made you worthy to be a ranger." Anya said.
Roxanne looks around, "Really?"
Anya nods, "I am positive."
Roxanne shrugs, "I mean- I guess I could be a ranger."
Zane placed a hand on Anya's shoulder, "Get the morpher and gem."
Anya nods, she walks off to a lab station. Once she returned she was holding an orange morpher and orange gem in her hands. She placed them in Roxanne's hand with a gentle smile on her face. Roxanne looked at them and then to the others in front of her. Ally walked over and was showing her how to put the gem into the morpher, once she did there was an orange beam around her like all the rangers before her.
"Now Roxxane, this morpher is not a toy. This power is something you can joke about, it comes with great responsibility. You must learn to fight with your team and for justice. To only fight to protect and not for the sake of a fight. You must remember to keep being a ranger a secret from your friends and family." Anya said.
Roxanne nods.
"Roxanne, you are the Orange Ranger. Your spirit beast is the Cheetah, your weapon of choice will be the cheetah fan." Anya said.
The beam disappeared and suddenly on Roxanne's morpher screen was an image of a cheetah. Roxanne was so shocked, she almost didn't realize the others walking over. Sean and Ally jumping up in down, all excited that there was another female ranger. Jacob and Joshua exchanged a look, now Joshua was no longer considered the noob. Nathaniel smiles and placed a hand on Roxanne's shoulder, she glanced up and forms a small smile. Rory shakes her hand, while Ally just hugs her tightly until Sean removes her. Jacob and Joshua both shake her hand. Terra walks over and shakes Roxanne's hand as a way of welcoming her, then the rangers moved off to the side allowing Zack to walk over.
"Hey," He said.
Roxanne looked from her morpher then to him, "Hi."
Zack smiles, "You're a ranger now."
"I am." She said.
Zack rubs the back of his neck, "That's great. I'm happy you're the new ranger." He said.
Roxanne forms a small smile, "Yeah."
Chapter twenty-eight! This takes place after the team up with the Unity Lakes Ranger. If you haven't read it I'd suggest reading it from Thewhatzupwriter26. It is a great chapter of mine, now the team has a new member. How will the others deal and handle with his new ranger, mostly Zack.
My duty to my local fair is over so now I have free time to publish chapters. So look forward to no delay, however I won't be posting them every single day because there will be no fun in that. But you won't have to wait a month for a new chapter, more likely a couple of days or a week. Stay tuned for more in the future!
NEXT TIME: "Zack, you okay?" "No." "Why?" "It's parent day and my moms will embarrass me so badly." "Oh come on they can't be that bad." "Oh they are."
In the next chapter: Parent Day
