Josh was sitting on the couch in his place, he was channel surfing. He glanced to the right to spot his brother, Jacob, he was reading a book in the silence. It was typical Jacob, he just kept to himself while he let his brother watch whatever he wanted. Jacob then noticed his brother's gaze and looked from his book.
"Everything okay?" Jacob asks.
Josh shrugs, "I am just thinking."
Jacob grins, "Don't hurt yourself." Jacob said.
That didn't make Josh laugh.
Jacob frowns, "Okay what's wrong?" He asks.
Josh looks at his brother again, "Aren't you worried?" Josh asks.
Jacob seemed a bit confused, "Pardon?"
"The whole battle, us ranger duties. Aren't you worried we won't win?" Josh asks.
Jacob closes his book completely while sighing, "Josh- yes I am worried but, it's not gonna change what is gonna happen. We are gonna fight Zigernot, eventually. Its gonna happen, I mean if Zane and her team fought Vaatu we can handle our final fight." He said.
"You sure?" Josh asks.
Jacob nods, "Yes. I mean, even your girlfriend and her team finished their final battle already. If they can handle it, so can we. Even if we have Zack as our leader." Jacob said making the last part as a small joke.
Josh rubbed the back of neck, "You really sure?"
Jacob nods, "Yes. Come on, Josh. Quit worrying, we'll be fine." Jacob said.
"Promise?" Josh asks.
Jacob smiles, "Nothing is gonna happen to you. I swear."
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Luna had gotten the phone call from Jacob, actually. She had expected Josh to call her, but was shocked when it was Jacob. He was claiming that Josh really needs her right now, with all that's going on there is so much stress it seems to be finally getting to her boyfriend. Luna had drove her dad's car all the way from Unity Lakes to Norland. She met up with Jacob at the park, the park where she and the Beast Rangers first met. Luna climbed out of the car and spotted her boyfriend's brother. She formed a small smile as she walked over.
"Hey, Jake." Luna said.
Jacob looks up, "Luna. Thanks for coming." He said.
Luna sat next to Jacob, "No problem. If something is wrong with Josh- I'm just glad you called." She said.
Jacob nods and rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah. He is really worried- worried about our final battle." He said.
Luna glanced at Jacob, "It was stressful. That's for sure."
Jacob nodded, "I expected it would be."
"It is how it is. Stress over whether or not we'll win, its natural. I am certain Zane felt that, I know my dad did." Luna said.
Jacob looks forward, "I assumed that. Though he won't listen to me, he just- I don't know." Jacob said.
Luna reached over and touched the Blue Ranger's arm, "Jake- it's okay. Just tell me."
Jacob exhaled, "Lately, he's been a bit overprotective. More than I'd be. He is nervous and its showing in school, but then again he was never a high grade student. I'm not sure if this stress could be coming from the fact he hasn't gotten his new powers yet." Jacob said.
"Is he the last one?" Luna asks.
Jacob shakes his head, "Zack and Terra too."
Luna nods, "I see."
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Zack was sitting outside the hospital, he was waiting for Roxanne to come out after visiting her mom. Its been hard for her, but her uncle has been able to be there for her during this tough time. When Zack saw Roxanne come out, he saw her rubbing her eyes. She was trying to avoid being seen crying. Zack walked over to her, stopping her in her tracks.
"You okay?" He asks.
Roxanne forced a smile, "I'm fine."
"Quit lying." Zack said.
Roxanne shakes her head, "The doctors aren't sure. The tests aren't- they aren't showing the best results."
"So, so what does that mean? Is your mom- dying?" Zack asks.
Roxanne shrugs her shoulders, "They aren't sure."
"What do you mean they aren't sure?" He asks.
Roxanne looked up to her boyfriend, "Exactly that! They are so positive that the cancer might be killing her! But they aren't certain if its going to be quick or not! Heck, a different doctor thinks it might not even be cancer and might be internal bleeding in the brain!" Roxanne yelled.
Zack saw the built up anger and so did Roxanne after she screamed. She started to take deeps breathes and shake, she was beginning to cry. Zack didn't waste any time, he grabbed a hold of her and pulled her in. He felt her hug him tightly. Her tears flooded down the side of her face and getting all over Zack's shirt. He didn't care.
"I'm so- so scared. Zack. She's- she's my mom." Roxanne cried.
"I know, sh. I'm here, I got you." Zack tried to make her feel better.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
Luna sighs again, "I do thank you for calling me here."
Jacob turned to her, "Your welcome."
Luna turns to Jacob, "You're a good brother."
The two sat on the bench and then they both had a strange feeling, a feeling that something wasn't right. The two stood up and reached for their own individual morphers, they scanned the park and then there it was. The single scream that set it off. Rageir were attacking, as well as a beast in the park. The two rangers turned to each other.
Jacob pulled up his morpher and said, "Guys we have an attack at the park. Luna and I are going to try to handle the situation, meet us there." Jacob said.
Luna met Jacob's gaze, "Ready?" She asks.
Jacob nods, "Born ready."
"Unite the Harmony Power!" Luna yells.
"Awaken The Beast! Power Rangers!" Jacob yells.
And just like that the two different rangers ran in. Jacob did a flip overhead, he landed in the middle of the Rageir. He saw the axe hands getting close. So he quickly ducked out of the way, he grabbed the arm of one of the Rageir and flipped it over his shoulders. He saw one coming toward him so he pulled out his blaster and fired.
Luna had her blade out, "Moon Blade, illusion." Luna said.
All of a sudden a bright orange light blinds some of the Rageir. Luna took this moment to slash through the Rageir with such speed, taking them down one by one. When the blinding light vanished, Luna stood victorious to the beasts. However she saw a blast go past her head, she turned to see a Rageir on the ground and Jacob holding his blaster.
"Thanks," She muttered.
"No problem." Jacob said.
"Good moves, but not good enough." Said a dark and familiar voice.
Jacob turned, "No- no. That's impossible."
Luna stepped next to her partner, "No. It's not impossible." She said.
"But- I defeated you. Ruko." Jacob said.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
The rangers arrived to the scene to find Luna and Jacob on one side, a former enemy on the other side, and them in front of the enemy. Josh seemed shocked as well as the rest of the team.
"What?" Ally asks.
"Ruko?" Terra spoke.
Ruko turns to her, "In the flesh, Yellow Ranger."
Zack holds his sword tightly, "Jacob defeated you!"
Ruko chuckles, "Or so you thought. I wasn't going to fall that easy." Ruko said and turned to Jacob, "You of all people should know that. Huh, Jakey."
Luna reached her hand to touch Jacob's shoulder, "Don't do something stupid."
Jacob frowns underneath his helmet, "No promises."
Ruko held his sword, "So who wants the first hit? I know how much you want even, Jake? Why not you get the honor and being my first fight." Ruko said.
Nathaniel and Terra exchanged looks and nodded. The White and Yellow Rangers charged in, with their daggers in their hands. Nathaniel flew gracefully over with his hawk wings, he slashed his knives at Ruko. Though Ruko used his sword to deflect it, and while that was happening Terra stabbed Ruko. Ruko turned to Terra, he grabbed the girl's arm and threw her off of him. Terra collided with Nathaniel, and the two fell to the ground.
"Nate-!" Rory yells.
"Terra-!" Sean yells.
Roxanne held her fan and swung it quickly, Ruko's feet managed to slide back slightly. Ally fired her arrows off her bow at the rat beast, though it did nothing. Ruko managed to dodge the attack, and with sudden quick speed he appeared in front of the girls and slashed his blade at them. The two girls were sent back.
"Roxxy!" Zack screamed.
"Ally!" Both Sean and Rory screamed.
That was it for those three. Sean charged in with her clawed gauntlets, she punched at Ruko but the rat grabbed her fist and threw her at Terra and Nathaniel. Sean landed on top of Nathaniel and rolled off of him. Zack and Rory ran in with their swords, the two slashed at the same time and yet their blades were both deflected by Ruko. Ruko slashed at the Red and Black Ranger, the two were sent back to Roxanne and Ally.
"No-!" Josh yelled.
Jacob saw Ruko turn to his attention, "Now are you going to take up on my offer?"
Jacob tighten his grip on his blaster, "Fine." He muttered.
"Jake." Luna said softly.
Ruko grins, "Perfect."
Ruko came at Jacob quickly, with this new speed. Jacob nearly escape the speed, he rolled out of the way and fired his blaster at the rat. Though it did nothing, Ruko turned to Jacob with a grin on his face. Luna didn't like the idea of leaving Jacob to handle this alone, so she ran in. Josh was about to stop her but Ruko sent out more Rageir, it was at this point the rangers had gotten up and went to fight the Rageir.
Luna slashed her blade at Rageir, Rageir turned to Luna. He chuckled, as he grabbed her arm and threw her away. Luna rolled in the dirt but got up, and ran back to the fight. Jacob saw Ruko's blade getting closer and he opened fired on Ruko, the blast did nothing but what happened next was the rat grabbed a hold of Jacob's helmet and tossed him to the ground, Jacob rolled on the ground and then felt his own blaster against his blue helmet.
"No-!" Luna shouted.
Ruko turned to her and fired Jacob's blaster at her, Luna screamed and fell to the ground. Josh heard that and looked up, then he saw the next frightening thing. Ruko fired his brother's blaster on his brother, this blast caused Jacob to power down just like Luna. Josh felt a strange feeling within. Rage.
"Jake!" Sean yells.
"Luna!" Terra yells.
Ruko chuckles, "That was simple."
"Ruko!" A roar came from no where.
Ruko turned and suddenly felt a fist slug him in the face, Ruko went flying back. Ruko stumbled to stand and saw purple glowing around the Purple Ranger, Josh had did it. He had unlocked his new powers.
"Damn, I forgot about these new powers." Ruko muttered.
Josh quickly charged at Ruko, as Ruko went to avoid the blow, Josh's punch destroyed a tree trunk. Josh turned to Ruko, holding his kama. The Purple Ranger slashed at Ruko, who was just dodging at this point. Until the kama had stuck him in the side, Josh then was spinning around which sent Ruko in the air and then he went flying into another tree which destroyed a few trees behind it.
"This kid-." Ruko said.
Josh punched Ruko in the face another time, but Ruko grabbed Josh's arm and threw him back. Josh was laying on his back on the ground, and Ruko was standing above him. This time, Ruko had a grin on his face.
"Nice attack, kid. But not enough." Ruko teased.
As Josh tried to get out, a blade went through Ruko's body. Ruko stood in shock, when he turned around to see who did it, it was none other than Jacob. He was barely standing, barely awake. He had stabbed Ruko with Ruko's own blade. There was blood escaping Ruko's wound, and mouth. This was different, this was new.
"Heh," Ruko started, "Seems like in the end. It was you who would kill me, Blue." Ruko said.
Jacob just eyed the rat as Ruko collapsed dead, then Jacob's eyes rolled back and he collapsed onto the ground. The Rageir were gone, and the rangers had powered down. So did Josh, he knelt down by his brother.
"Jake? Jake?" Josh asks.
Nathaniel carried Luna over, "Josh."
Josh turned to Nathaniel, "Is she?"
Rory smiles, "She'll be fine." He said.
Sean nods, "And so will Jacob. Let's get them out of here." She said.
Josh nods.
-AWAKENTHEBEAST-
When Luna and Jacob awoke, they were overwhelmed by the people wanting to see how they were. Josh had hugged both Jacob and Luna at the same time, then let go after realizing they were both still hurt.
"You two okay?" Josh asks.
Luna nods, "Yeah."
Jacob just nodded.
Rory smiles, "Good. We were worried."
Ally nods, "Yeah."
Luna smiles, "Oh but we were in good hands." Luna said.
Sean nods, "And thanks to Josh he got his powers." She said.
Josh nods awkwardly, "Ye- Yeah."
Jacob smiles, "Good job, bro." He said.
Zack slapped Josh on the back, "Yeah! Congrats!"
Terra nods, "And now its only two." She said.
Roxanne nods, "And then we end it all." Roxanne said.
Zack then spoke, "But I have a question, why didn't Ruko die the first time Jacob "defeated" him? Why did it take for him to stab him with that sword?" Zack asks.
Anya stepped into the picture, "We aren't even sure. But, Lucas and I think it might have something to do with Jacob's history with Ruko." Anya said.
"Huh?" Jacob asks.
Lucas nods entering the room, "It seems when you stabbed Ruko with his blade not only were you getting rid of his darkness and negative energy, but it was also ridding you of your former darkness and negative energy that remained secretly behind." Lucas said.
"His darkness?" Sean spoke.
Anya nods, "That's our theory."
Nathaniel shrugs, "Well let's just be happy that fight is over with."
Terra nods, "Agreed." She said.
The rangers stayed in the cave as Lucas and Anya walked away from the teens, their conversations about the fight or just usual teenage things like homework or just school. Anya and Lucas were standing by the monitors and on the screen was none other than data being collected of the orange and purple gem.
"Sis," Lucas said.
Anya sighed, "I know."
Lucas turns to her, "We'll have to tell them."
Anya nods, "Yes but how will they take it?" She asks.
Lucas shrugs his shoulders, "It has to be done."
Anya sighs, "I know. But they are too happy now." She said.
Lucas turned back to seeing their happy and cheerful team, "Yes but its better if they know sooner than later." He said.
Anya exit out of the information on the screen and turned to her brother, "That can wait for another day. For now, they've been through enough." She said.
"Fine," Lucas said.
(A/N: I know I've been away long. Its not excuse but I'd thought I'd explain myself. First off, I've been busy with work. I am one of the few cashiers at work that works more days, five days to be exact. Also my dad was outta town for two weeks, so I was more involved in the real world than the Internet. He had just returned Friday so things are going back to normal. However, there was a certain news that just came in today actually. A close person, mostly to my sister, has been placed in the hospital. It's actually her boyfriend's mom. The condition is a bit unknown right now, so my heart and concern in is that direction right now. So if updates may be delayed, that might be why. Sorry to just throw this on y'all last minute. But be patient, I'll update when I can. -Thanks, ICrzy)
This chapter was going in a completely different direction than my rough draft. I liked the idea of Jacob being the one to defeat Ruko, because of his personal demons with the rat throughout the series. Also in a way, Josh loving both Luna and Jacob the way he does it couldn't have just been one of them getting hurt. It had to be both. Whereas, Jacob loves his girlfriend to death but he always worries about his brother no matter what. And Josh loves his girlfriend and get protective, he also looks out for Jacob to always having his back. So when both are down, in a way it felt like Josh had nothing left.
