-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

-Previously-

"Power Rangers! Awaken The Beast!" Roxanne yells.

She morphs 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, your girlfriend is-." Nathaniel was cut off.

Zack nods, "Yeah pissed." He 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.

-Now-

Roxanne had this sudden speed that was not normal for her, as she sped up to Ci-Ci to deliver a kick across the panda's face. The rangers watched Ci-Ci be knocked into the pile of rumble. Roxanne watched Ci-Ci stumble to stand, also wielding herself with her own fan. At the same time, both Roxanne and Ci-Ci swung their fans at each other. The others were shielding themselves from the leaves and dirt being picked up by the large gust of wind.

"Damn, she is angry!" Joshua yells.

Zack turns to Joshua, "You think!"

Sean nods, "But that speed though."

Roxanne took off in full speed through Ci-Ci's gust of wind, with no trouble running through it. Ci-Ci was not perpared for that, because the Orange Ranger took her fist and collided it with the panda's jaw. Ci-Ci was sent flying back and it caused a smoke cloud from Ci-Ci crashing into part of a destroyed building. Ci-Ci stumbled to stand yet again, and as Roxanne went to run a full charge attack at Ci-Ci, she was stopped by a Ruko showing up.

"Not so fast, Orange Ranger." Ruko said.

Terra and Jacob stood next to Roxanne, both held their weapons at Ruko. Then the rest of the rangers stood over next to Roxanne, waiting in case Ruko had a plan to attack the rangers. Just keeping their eye on their enemy and making no mistake to lower their guard. Ruko held his hands up and slowly knelt down to help Ci-Ci up, and then held her up like a crunch.

"I mean no harm, rangers." Ruko said.

Zack stood by his girlfriend, "Now that's a joke."

"Honest, I do. I'm just taking my friend and going." Ruko said and vanished.

The rangers were about to congratulate Roxanne for getting her beast spirit, but the ranger quickly powered down to run over to her injured mother. Terra and the others demorphed as well, Terra sees the worry and concern in the eyes of Roxanne. She cares about her mother, whether Roxanne admits it or not. Roxanne was lightly shaking her mom to wake her up, and then her mom began to regain consciousness.

"Honey," Diana said.

"Hey mom, you okay?" Roxanne asks.

Diana was sitting up, "What happened? Where did that panda monster go?"

Zack walked over, "Whoa ma'am, calm down you were just out cold."

Ally nods, "And besides the Power Rangers saved the day." She said.

Diana looks from Roxanne's friends to her daughter, "Power Rangers?"

Roxanne nods, "Yeah. I'm just glad you're okay." She said.

The rangers watched as Roxanne held onto her mom's hand with concern and protection, a sudden overbearing came over Roxanne of the thought of actually loosing her mother. Terra had a frown, but then felt Jacob place a hand on her shoulder. Terra looked at Jacob and smiled.

"Here, Roxxy, we'll help your mom up." Rory said.

Roxanne let go of her mom and let the guys help her mom up, Zack actually decided to literally use himself as a crunch for Diana. Which was odd of him being the guy who held a negative opinion of Diana before, but since thins were looking different between Roxanne and Diana he was going to make the effort as well. The rangers walked out of the damaged remains of the mall and what was the battlefield to go to the hospital to get Diana checked out for a concussion.

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

In the hospital, Diana was just in an examine room while the others remain in the lobby waiting. That even included Roxanne even though she wanted to be with her mom, though the doctors had Roxanne call another family member to take care of her while Diana remain in the hospital over night. Terra turn her head to see Roxanne holding Zack's hand and looking worried, she stands up and walks over to Roxanne. Roxanne looked up from the hallway she was glancing at to see Terra.

"Can we have a word," Terra gazed to see Zack giving her a look, "In private?"

Roxanne nods, "Sure."

The two girls walked away from the group of teens. They were walking down the hallway, passing nurses and doctors to reach the small food court. This is where Roxanne put a quarter in a machine and it began to pour her some coffee in a cup.

"So, what's up?" Roxanne asked not even looking at Terra.

Rubbing the back of her head Terra says, "Look I'm sorry about that out burst earlier today." She said.

Roxanne turns to Terra, "Why did you do it anyways? I- I thought we were friends." Roxanne said.

Terra looks at Roxanne, "We are. Roxxy, I- the topic moms is a sour topic for me."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Roxanne asks.

Terra sighs, "Long story short my mom was killed in a car accident when I was a little kid. So when you were saying how you wanted your mom gone, it made me mad." Terra said.

Roxanne looks at Terra, "Look I get your frustration about my words. Heck, I get made when Zack complains about having his moms on his ass and even Lucas with Anya nagging him. He sometimes doesn't get it, not everyone has a mom or even a dad." Roxanne said.

Terra nods, "I am familiar with your story about your dad."

Roxanne glanced to the machine and grabbed her coffee, "Then you get why I act the way I do. I became dependent because my mom was so full of herself, after the divorce we lived two years in a shelter and even had to be put on food stamps. Terra, I'm not trying to start a contest who had it worst but we both know what it's like to not have a person we needed in life the most." Roxanne said.

Terra nods again, "I know."

Roxanne forms a small smile, "Listen next I or someone else says something that makes you mad, instead of blowing up at us maybe just talk to us." Roxanne said.

Terra smiles, "Deal."

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

In the waiting room the rangers waited and then an adult male entered the hospital, it was Roxanne's uncle. Her mom's older brother, and he did not look thrilled at all. He first walked over to Roxanne, without even saying a word Roxanne points in the direction of the nurse behind the desk. He nods and walks over to the nurse. Her uncle has dirty blonde hair and green eyes, he was wearing a business suit like he was some lawyer or maybe some detective.

"Excuse me, who is that?" Rory asks Roxanne.

Roxanne perked up, "My uncle, Marshall Dennis. He's a criminal psychologist." She said.

Jacob nods, "How come we've never heard about him?"

Zack nods, "Yeah why didn't I hear about him?"

Roxanne shrugs, "We rarely talk but it doesn't mean we aren't close- it's just his work." She said.

Terra glanced to the desk, "He seems to know what he is doing."

Marshall was somehow convincing the nurse to tell them something, since Roxanne and the others have been sitting in the waiting room for a while. Suddenly appearing from behind the desk was Diana's doctor, so Marshall turned to Roxanne. She stands up and walks over, the others stand up as well and begin to walk over but not to suffocate Roxanne. The doctor sighs and that made Roxanne worry as she held onto Zack's hand.

"Is she okay?" Roxanne asks.

"From her injuries, Diana Dennis is fine just a minor concussion." The doctor started, "But we found something that is a bit alarming."

Marshall held a frown, "What is it?"

The doctor sighs, "Giving her age and given how healthy she is its a completely shock how this is possible, however we found out she has cancer. It's been going untreated for a few months which would explain the sudden change in behavior and memory since the tumor we found was in her brain." The doctor said.

Roxanne held Zack's hand tighter, "What? A tumor?"

Zack looks from Roxanne to the doctor, "Is she going to be okay?"

The doctor shifted his gaze to Zack but return his glance to Marshall, "Hopefully with treatment we could remove the tumor and seeing how healthy she is she could recover from this." The doctor said.

Marshall nods, "I see."

The rangers glanced among themselves with a sadden expression. To think of cancer, to think of a parents or even a friend having cancer sounded insane but its possible.

"Can I see her?" Roxanne asks.

The doctor nods, "Family only. She needs her rest."

Roxanne turns to Zack and he nods, "Go."

She nods, "I'll call you later."

He nods. The rangers watched as Roxanne and Marshall followed the doctor down the hallway. The rangers all turned to each other, with their sadden looks. Jacob hugged his brother, Joshua held onto his brother tightly. Sean and Ally hugged each other tightly, before both girls let each other go to hug their boyfriends. Nathaniel and Zack held onto Terra giving her a big bear hug, this was an odd moment but no one spoke. No one said a word. They were feeling emotions that was probably less than what Roxanne was feeling, but the team did not want anything to happen to their team. They all love each other, they all care about each other. They are a family, so when one is broke they all are broken.

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Luna climbed out of her dad's car, he was nice enough to let her borrow it last minute. She was worried when Joshua was texting her about their last fight, and also about Roxanne. They met up at the park where they first met ever. Luna spotted Joshua sitting on the bench. The sun was beginning to set and she could see his shadow, which is what gave his position away. Luna ran over and hugged him as she sat down on the bench. Joshua held onto her and cried into her shoulder.

"There, there. I'm here." Luna said.

Joshua pulls her back, "I know. And I'm happy for it."

Luna forms a smile, "I'm not going anywhere."

Joshua brushed her hair behind her ear, "I hope not. Because I would- just fall apart." He said.

Luna looks at her boyfriend, "With what's going on. You trying to unlock your beast spirit, both of our battles we must fight, and now Roxanne's mom. It's natural for all of these emotions." She said holding his hand.

Joshua nods, "I know- I just feel terrible for her."

Luna kisses Joshua on the cheek, "Well what you and the others need to do is help her through this. I know Zack will be there fully, because he loves her too much but you all need to be her shoulders to cry on too." She said softly.

Joshua nods and kisses Luna on her nose, "I love you."

Luna smiles, "I love you too."

-AWAKENTHEBEAST-

Zack entered HQ to find Lucas and Anya laughing and talking about memories when they were kids. Lucas turned to see Zack all sad, and his laughter dulled down as did his smile which gained Anya's attention. Anya moved over first and pulled Zack in for a hug, she was unsure why he was sad. She had watched the fight, and Roxanne got her power so why was her nephew so upset. Lucas came over and hugged his son just as confused as his sister.

"Zack, what's wrong?" Anya asks.

"It's Roxxy's mom- she has cancer." Zack said.

Anya gasped as Lucas looks from his sister to his son, "Really?"

Zack nods.

"Oh poor Roxxy," Anya says.

Lucas turns from his son to his sister, "We will do whatever it takes to help her out."

Zack reaches out for his dad, "Dad."

Lucas turns, "Zack?"

"Promise me you won't keep anything from me, and please- don't leave me again." Zack said.

Lucas nods, "I won't, son."

Lucas was actually shocked to be hugged again his son. Zack held onto his dad for dear life. Lucas glanced from his son to his sister, Anya shakes her head with a worry look and her eyes turn to Zack.

"It'll be okay, Zack." Lucas said, "I'm not going anywhere."
