"Damn it mom!" Roxanne shouts.
Diana and Roxanne were in the middle of an argument, like usual. It was about Diana trying to hook up with wealthy people so she could avoid to work for anything. Diana believed her daughter didn't understand her struggles, whereas Roxanne was just annoyed about how childish her mom was being at that mom.
"Roxanne, you don't understand." Diana said.
Roxanne turns to her mom, "I understand alright! I understand you are a lazy, waste of space human being!" Roxanne yelled.
Diana's face fell, "You don't mean that?"
Roxanne groans, "Yes! Yes, I do! Every day its about you! You care about yourself more so than your own daughter!"
"That isn't true!" Diana shouted.
Roxanne had a bitter laugh, "Oh yeah? When is my birthday? What's my hobby? Who is my boyfriend?"
"May 8th. You like to paint, and it's Jack." Diana said.
Roxanne frowned, "It's March 12th. My hobby is boxing, and his name is Zack." Roxanne said.
Diana sighs, "I'm under stress. Please understand that." Diana said.
Roxanne grabbed her backpack, "Oh I understand. You're just as bad as dad, just without the drinking." Roxanne said.
Diana gets a bit hurt by that, "Roxanne."
"Bye, I'll see you later." Roxanne said and slammed the door.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
As the twins and Zack walked up from the school parking lot to the front door to meet up with the others, Joshua was texting his girlfriend from Unity Lakes while Jacob and Zack just talked.
"So, how long has Josh been texting Luna?" Zack asked motioning to the teen glued to his phone.
Jacob smirked, "Since he got up this morning. Apparently they have been plotting a day for her to come visit, I mean it's difficult with them both being rangers and having their own duties." Jacob said.
Zack nods, "True."
Jacob shifted his backpack strap, "It makes being a normal teenager difficult and strange to think of ever being you know, normal." Jacob said.
Zack smirks, "If we were normal teenagers, I wouldn't have known my aunt or my dad. Heck, I probably wouldn't have been dating Roxxy like you wouldn't be dating Sean." Zack said.
Jacob nods, "True."
The twins and Zack reach the front door of the school that was where Sean, Ally, Nathaniel, and Rory were waiting for them. Terra was walking over with Roxanne trailing a bit behind like she was running late than usual. Zack noticed the frown on his girlfriend's face, he turned to his friends and Jacob nods.
"Go," He said.
Jacob was kissed on the cheek by Sean, as Zack ran off to reach his girlfriend. He stops her and she looks up at him, sensing the worry from him.
"You okay?" Zack asks.
"No," Roxanne huffed, "It's my mom."
Roxanne moved passed her boyfriend and they met up to the gang, "What now?" Zack asks after they reach the front door.
Roxanne sighed, "She is a selfish human being. I hate her."
"Hate who?" Rory asks.
"My mom," Roxanne said.
Ally frowns, "Why? What's going on?" She asks.
Roxanne groans, "She thinks she can take the easy way out in life. Find some rich guy so she doesn't have to work to earn a since dime." Roxanne said.
Nathaniel sighs, "She is a strange person."
Joshua peaked up from his phone, "Yeah she makes Ruko seem like a neighborhood watch patrol captain."
Jacob grins at that comment, but noticed how silent Terra was. She had a frown on her face, something that he began to notice was a sign of her bottling something up.
Roxanne rubs her hand through her hair, "God. Sometimes I wish- I don't know that she'd disappear. She makes me so angry."
Terra had enough of being silent, "Your mom may be a bully and some idiot but at least she is around. I can't believe you'd wish your mom gone, you just don't get it." Terra said.
After Terra said that, she stormed into the school. Roxanne frowned and looked down, while Zack was comforting her also saying how rude Terra was. Jacob didn't get that from her, while the others were judging Terra without knowing the heart of the outburst. He was curious on what was going on in her head.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
During study hall, the rangers were at their usual table. Doing their homework, whether it be a project from English class or a worksheet from math class. However, Terra was by the bookshelf away from their table. Jacob glanced up from his research paper to see Terra just staring at the row of books.
"You okay, Jacob?" Sean asks.
Jacob glanced at Sean, "Yeah. Um- I need another source for my paper. I'm gonna find a book on the U.S. justice system." Jacob said.
Sean nods, "Need a hand?" She asks.
Jacob shakes his head, "I got it."
Jacob gets up from the familiar table and walked down to the rows of books, until he stopped to where Terra was staring blankly into the books on the shelves. He nudged her and she snapped out of it, she turned to him and held a glare until she took a deep breathe and the glare faded. He formed a small smile and then placed his hands into his pockets.
"Terra, I have to be honest with you. You're a complete mystery to me." He said.
Terra looks up, "What do you mean?" She asks.
Jacob glanced at her, "You behavior. I don't understand the rudeness, I do not know why you and Zack seem to agrue." He said.
Terra glances down, "It's a habit."
"Habit? Why is that?" Jacob asks.
Terra frowns.
"Come on you can tell me, it's not like I'll gossip about it. You're talking to mister live in the ghetto." Jacob said.
Like he wanted, that comment made Terra smirk. He grins at that and then looks up at the top row book.
"Look I get it, I know what it like to have this shell to protect yourself from feeling small. Believe me, pretending to be this false ideal guy was just to keep everyone from knowing how much my brother and I didn't have or knew. We were on the outside compared to everyone else, and it was not what I wanted." Jacob said.
Terra looks at him, "You're right, you do get it. The whole idea of the rude behavior is to keep others from not seeing me as a child, or something that breaks easily. I can take care of myself. With Zack- ugh, he just asks for it. He never gets off my case about my age or my size, he doesn't understand." She said.
Jacob looks down, "He understands what its like to protect the ones he cares about. He has younger siblings, he just gets worried."
Terra rolls her eyes, "Mine don't get like him."
Jacob shrugs, "Maybe not. But he is at least caring toward you."
Terra sighs, "Maybe."
Jacob nods, "So that outburst. Wanna explain that to me."
"What?" Her voice suddenly got shaky.
"Well it's obvious that family is a sensitive issue for you. I mean, you have a lot of older brothers. So it has to be chaotic." He said.
Terra nods, "You're right. It's nothing but chaos, mostly when I was younger. Though, my dad is usually not around since he is a pilot. Rafe being the eldest, sometimes checks on us when he isn't at the cafe he owns. Steven is at Harvard to become a lawyer, so he is barely around. Jimmy is still in college, and is the only cool one. You know Leo, Mr. Popular, and Michael, King of the Geeks." Terra said.
Jacob nods, "I take it you don't have a spot to belong in that chaos?"
Terra nods as she reply.
"What about your mom?" He asks.
Terra gets more silent, Jacob looked down at her and noticed that Terra had a look like she was about to cry.
"I hit a sensitive subject, didn't I?" He asks.
Terra nods, "Yeah. If you didn't know, my mom died when I was two years old. I remember when the police told us that night, how she died instantly. I rarely talk about her, unless its the day she died." Terra said.
Jacob glanced at her, "It must have been rough not having that mother figure."
"Yeah." She said.
"Did he get remarried, your dad I mean?" He asks.
Terra shakes her head, "Hasn't dated since her death. He refuses, my mom was his high school sweetheart."
Jacob nods, "I see."
Terra glanced at him, "That's why I yelled at Roxxy. She wanting to wish her mom away like that, that's so selfish of her. Sure, her mom isn't the best but at least she has a mom."
Jacob glanced at her, "Look as much as I can understand what its like to basically be an orphan half the time with my parents working doubles to keep the roof over our heads, yelling at her probably wasn't the best solution." Jacob said.
Terra glanced back at their table, to see Roxanne all frustrated. Her stress comes from her mom, and also with being a ranger. Terra knew Roxanne's story, not having a dad due to him being a drunk and hitting his mom. After he was taken away, her mom began to behave the way she does now. So in a way that day, Roxanne lost both a mom and a dad.
"I guess I should apologize." Terra said.
Jacob nods, "That you should, little tiger." He said.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
In HQ, Lucas and Anya were in the middle of going through the cameras of town to keep an eye out for an attack. So far, nothing.
"It's quiet, sis." Lucas said.
"I know, bro." Anya said.
Then Anya's cell phone was ringing, Lucas looks at his sister then her phone. Anya picked it up, the caller ID said Zane. She pressed answer to find out what was going on with her Red Ranger pal.
"Hey, Zane." Anya says.
"Hey, Anya. Miss me?" Zane asks.
Anya couldn't help but smile, "Honestly? Yes."
He chuckles, "I knew you would."
"So is everything okay in Meadowedge?" Anya asks.
"Yeah," Zane said.
Anya looks at her brother, "And that investigation with Zara and the others? How is that doing?"
She hears Zane cough, "Well not well."
"Define not well," Anya says frowning.
"We ran into your pals, Rageir at the temple. Apparently they were trying to seal the urn with Vaatu in it. Zara did not like that idea one bit." Zane said.
Anya looked puzzled, "So what happened?"
"Zara kicked their asses, I never seen her so angry since well were were full time rangers. Anyways, out trail became a dead end." Zane said.
"That's a shame." Anya said.
"Yeah, but Jay is going to look into a few things. I wanted to call to see how the kids are doing?" Zane asks.
Anya forms a smile, "They are the same. Exactly how you left them."
Zane chuckles, "Then we're doomed."
"Nate and Sean has unlocked their beast spirit." Anya said.
"The rest of the team will, it'll take time." Zane said.
Anya placed a hand on her head, "But we don't have a lot of time."
"Calm down, Anya, it'll be fine." Zane said.
"Okay," She said.
"I gotta go, later." Zane said.
"Bye," She said and hung up.
Lucas looks at his sister, "So?"
"So still the same." Anya said.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
After school, Roxanne was at the boxing studio. She was pounding her fists into the punching bags with such force. Walking over was none other than Spike.
"Haven't seen you around here lately, Roxxy." Spike said.
Roxanne looks at him, "Been busy."
"I've noticed." He said.
Roxanne threw one more punch into the bag, "Mom issues."
"I assumed as much." He said.
Roxanne turns to him, "She is so frustrating."
Spike grins, "I was the same way with my dad. It didn't take until him passing away how much he means to me."
"But she doesn't care about me." Roxanne said.
Spike sighs, "You'd be surprise kid."
Roxanne grabbed her stuff and left the studio, as she exit the studio in the mall she saw her mother. She frowned, and Diana saw Roxanne. Diana began to run over to caught up with her, but Roxanne begins to walk away.
"Roxanne! Roxanne!"
"Go away, mom." Roxanne says.
Diana grabs her daughter's shoulder, "But- I wanted to see this boxing studio I heard so much about."
"Don't pretend you actually listen to me." Roxanne said.
Diana sighs, "I know I haven't been the best mother but-."
Roxanne laughed, "You are the opposite of best mother. You force your thoughts onto me, you basically bully me and my friends. You dissed my friend's parents to their faces and called my boyfriend's moms fags." Roxanne said.
Diana looked sadden, "And I'm sorry for that."
"As if," Roxanne said, "The only way I'll accept that is the day I say 'I love you'."
"But Roxanne let me-," Diana was cut off.
Suddenly a huge gust of wind stroke them, Roxanne used her hands to cover her face from the leaves that was pushed up around them. Looking pass her arms she could see Ci-Ci standing there with her large fan, next to Ci-Ci was Rageir attacking the mall. People were running away from the chaos, and Roxanne felt her mom grab her arm.
"Roxanne, we need to go." Diana said.
"Go, I'll go help get others to safety." Roxanne said.
"But-," Diana said.
Roxanne had enough, "Just think of yourself like you usually do and get out of here!"
As Roxanne broke free from her mom's grasp, she ran to fight. Using her boxing skills as well as he trained skills from Zane. Roxanne sees one of the Rageir axe hand coming near her, she grabbed it and slashed at the one Rageir coming near her. She kicked it in the back and then did a back flip. She turned to see Ci-Ci standing behind her.
"Ci-Ci!" Shouted a morphed Zack.
The others appeared in their suits. Roxanne reached for her morpher as the others were getting closer only for her to stop when she sees her mom running over.
"Roxanne!
"Mom!" Roxanne yells.
Diana reaches Roxanne, she holds onto her daughter's hands and then noticed Ci-Ci about to use her fan again. Instead of Ci-Ci hitting Roxanne liked planned, Diana shoves her daughter out of harms way. The gust of wind caused Diana to hit a car and pass out. Roxanne laid on the ground and pushed herself up, she looks at her mom.
As the others were fighting the Rageir, they stopped. Everything seemed to have stopped. Ci-Ci had a smug look on her face, feeling like she has done something worth bragging. Terra, while in her suit, felt sorry for Roxanne. Roxanne kept her eyes on her mom, and then her eyes began to dart to her target. Roxanne pushed herself up and held her morpher out.
"Power Rangers! Awaken The Beast!" Roxanne shouted.
She morphed quickly and then used her fan and spun it around a full 360, this large amount of wind knocked the Rageir back and they exploded. The gust of wind made Ci-Ci be pushed back.
"Dude, you're girlfriend is-." Nathaniel said.
"Yeah, pissed." Zack said.
Roxanne turns to direct her rage at Ci-Ci, "You're gonna pay! You panda bitch!" She said as she was glowing orange off her suit.
Chapter forty one ever! Literally making it to forty one is amazing! Now you take this chapter how you want to, whether you agree with Terra and how "selfish" Roxxy was feeling about her mom or agree with Roxxy with how her mom is so selfish. Now, personally I have a great relationship with my mom and a sorta good one with my dad so agreeing with the two characters is not fully for me. From Roxxy's point of view her mom has ignored her and been a bully to her all her life, not only has she had to deal with a drunk for a dad but now put up with a bully as a mom. From Terra's point of view, Roxxy has a mother who is alive and shouldn't be complaining.
Yes, I left this chapter like a cliff hanger in a way like how Nathaniel gained his power. But I want it to be creative in the sense of the chapter, that and I wasn't sure how long I want it to be.
A/N: Also I have a new series I'll be writing more of in the future. Zodiac Chronicles, is the title. The next chapter will be added maybe sometime in September. So be patient for that. As well as Jurassic Squad and of course Awaken The Beast. -Thank you, ICrzy
NEXT TIME: The rangers need to find the power from within.
