Chapter Fourteen

Lily, Hana and Sage walked down the streets as Casey, Theo and Dominic were working at JKP and RJ was resting with Master Finn helping him recover, the other Ronins and Guardians keeping an eye on things, and James and Twyla were running the dojo.

"Where exactly can Jillian be?" Hana asked.

"I'm not sure," Lily answered, "but we have to get through to her and free her from Kartras' control."

"Easier said than done," Sage replied, "if she is controlled than it's going to be harder than you think."

"We should know," Hana added, "a few years ago, us Lady Ronin Guardians were placed under Talpa's control with help from this Hell Goddess Glory and we were missing for a couple of years, but James and the Ronin Warriors freed us from that control."

"Let's try the dojo," Lily suggested, "RJ said he and Casey met with Jillian there before the whole thing with the Pink Ranger."

"James' dojo?" Sage asked.

"Good idea," Hana nodded in agreement.

-Though-Dangerous-Times-

Kimberly perked around seeing a blonde man and two blonde women making their way to a dojo. She decided to follow them as she suspected they could be of help in connection to her daughter where she overheard the conversation.

-Though-Dangerous-Times-

The three met with James and Twyla at the dojo.

"James, have you seen Jillian anywhere?" Lily asked.

"Yes," James nodded, "she's over at the corner training by herself."

"Thanks," Lily nodded before walking over to the corner of the room where Jillian was practicing Martial Arts by herself. Slowly, Lily walked over to where she was to try to talk to her.

"Jillian?" Lily spoke up in a whisper to where only she can hear, "Jillian, we know that you're the Pink Ranger."

Jillian stopped at what she was doing at the very second, and she looked at the blonde girl with anger and coldness on her face, "Well then, Yellow Ranger. I want you to know, that you and the other rangers will all be destroyed."

"Jillian please," Lily pleaded, "let us help you. We can help break free from the control Kartras has placed you under."

"Kartras is my mistress and she will rule the world."

"Jillian."

The Pink Ranger gave the Yellow Ranger a hard tense look as her eyes glowed pink, "You have been warned, Yellow Ranger."

Then, Jillian walked away, leaving Lily in a state of surprise. James, Twyla, Hana and Sage walked over to her.

"Well?" Sage asked.

"She's not come through yet," Lily answered.

"Told you."

"But it was worth a shot," Hana replied.

"You should get going," James told the three, "we'll meet with you shortly."

Lily nodded before she, Sage and Hana made their way back to JKP.

-Though-Dangerous-Times-

"So Mistress," Geneva asked, "you decided on a new plan?"

"Indeed I have." Kartras answered, "I will need the Pink Ranger for assistance because she will be useful in this plan."

As if on cue, Jillian appeared in a mist of pink energy, "You called, Mistress?"

"Good timing!" Kartras said, "I am about to unfold a new plan that could work to our advantage!"

"And what would that be?"

"I want you to fight the remaining four rangers without their animal spirits while the Keith and Geneva go to JKP to finish off the Wolf Ranger."

"Wait!" Nathan asked, "What about me?! What am I, chopped liver?"

"You're going to help out your cousin. I have a feeling that those masters aren't going to leave the Wolf Ranger unprotected."

"Sounds like a plan. I could be helpful there."

"What about those in armor?" Nathan asked.

"We deal with them too." Keith answered.

"Precisely. The Pink Ranger will have the rangers' animal spirits, even RJ's wolf spirit. It'll be a disadvantage to the Power Rangers."

In mists of red, blue, yellow, purple and white energy, Jade obtained the good rangers' animal spirits.

"Incredible!" Geneva exclaimed.

"I'm more determined than ever to rid ourselves of those Power Rangers," Keith declared, "and those other pests who stand in our way!"

"Let's do it!" Nathan exclaimed happily.

Kartras grinned as she chuckled evilly.

-Though-Dangerous-Times-

Amaya looked over at an unconscious RJ as Master Finn was helping him stabilize his strength while Amaya said a little prayer for RJ. Ryo, Rowen, Cye, Kento, Rekino, Mia, Josephine and Master Swoop along with Flit, Jarrod and Camille were scattered at various parts of the room, figuring out what to do about the Pink Ranger and the Dynasty.

"Well," Amaya asked Master Finn, "Do you think RJ will be okay?"

"To be honest," answered the Shark Master, "I don't know. With the mass drainage he didn't fully recover from, plus he now lost his wolf spirit, if anything else happens, he may not survive."

Amaya noticed he had the expression of fear in his face even though he was the one that said it, "but knowing my son, he is a fighter, and I believe he will make it."

"Right," Amaya nodded, "I even said a little prayer to help you guys."

"Every little bit of help counts," Master Finn replied, "Thanks."

"Flit," Camille glanced at the former fly, "I think you and Fran should check on the other rangers."

"We'll take care of things from here." Jarrod added.

"Let's go." Flit nodded as he looked at Fran before leaving the loft. Fran joined him seconds later. The Ronins and Guardians followed suit.

-Though-Dangerous-Times-

Lily, Sage and Hana met up with Casey, Theo and Dominic about Jade just as Fran and Flit had come downstairs seconds later, followed by the rest of the Ronins and Guardians.

"So you found Jillian?" Theo asked.

"Yeah," Lily nodded, "and her eyes were glowing pink. It was kinda spooky."

"We'll have to do something if we want to save Jillian," said Casey.

"And get our animal spirits back," Dominic added.

"Jillian has known that we are the Power Rangers all along," Lily informed the guys, "and she is out to get us."

"Must be thanks to the Dark Elite," Kento spoke up, "Man, I can't wait until they get a can of whoop ass!"

"Kento!" Amaya exclaimed.

"What's the problem?" Theo asked.

"Amaya doesn't like hearing curse words," Hana answered, "she's Catholic."

"It's not because I'm Catholic," Amaya said slowly, "it is because I think vulgar words are inappropriate. One can express themselves without the use of that kind of language."

"Are you French?" Dominic asked.

"Yes," Amaya tucked a strand of her hair back to her ears, "from Paris, actually, but my mother is half Japanese."

"Jillian is definitely under the Dark Elite's spell." Casey nodded, changing the subject.

"That explains why she had been acting kinda strange." Fran spoke up.

"And why prior to the last battle," Flit added, "she had never revealed her true self, the Pink Ranger."

"It all adds up now!" Dominic exclaimed.

"Rangers!" Jarrod shouted as he and Camille hurried downstairs, "there's trouble!"

"The Pink Ranger has returned with a group of Rinshi!" Camille added, "the Dark Elite is obviously wanting to destroy you guys!"

"The Dark Elite's not going to give up, are they?" Lily asked.

"And neither are we!" Casey exclaimed.

"We're coming with you!" Jarrod exclaimed, "without your animal spirits, there's no telling what will happen to you guys!"

"And we're coming with you too!" Ryo stepped forward.

"What about the masters?" Theo asked.

"They're looking after RJ in case those soldiers decide to show up." Jarrod answered.

"Let's go!" Casey told the team.

The rangers, Ronin Warriors, Lady Ronin Guardians, Jarrod and Camille hurried out of JKP and met with James to take on the Pink Ranger and to hopefully free her from Kartras' control.

"Jungle Beast Spirit Unleash!"

"Spirit of the Mighty Lion!"

"Spirit of the Chameleon!"

"Armor of Wildfire! Dao Jin!"

"Armor of Strata! Dao Inochi!"

"Armor of Halo! Dao Chi!"

"Armor of Torrent! Dao Shin!"

"Armor of Hardrock! Dao Gi!"

"Armor of the Eliminator! Dao Chin!"

The rangers by luck managed to morph as Jarrod and Camille powered up their respective animal spirits and the Ronins and Guardians armored up before they sprung into action to fight their latest battle.
