Chapter Thirty – Eight
Fran turned around as Master Finn, Master Swoop, Jillian and RJ entered the loft. Both Twyla and Flit glanced at the group as well. Hartford followed suit seconds later.
"What happened here?" Fran asked.
"Something serious," Jillian answered.
"Something serious, huh?" Hartford looked confused as did Twyla, Fran and Flit.
"I don't think RJ should have been near Kelly in this battle," Twyla stated.
"Can someone tell me what is going on?" Fran asked.
"That's what I want to know as well," Flit glanced around.
"Kelly sexually assaulted my son!" Master Finn couldn't help but to blurt out.
"What?!" Fran, Flit and Twyla each exclaimed in shock.
There was stunned silence for awhile.
"Is this true?" Twyla asked, breaking the silence.
RJ didn't hesitate to nod as he was shaking in fear, something that was out of character for the Wolf Master, "She did it while I was captured, drugging me before doing so."
"Oh my God," Flit muttered in shock. Even Hartford was shocked by this revelation, even know he hadn't seen his nephew since his sister's death.
"Will he be okay?" Fran asked, worried.
"In time," Master Swoop answered, "RJ will need time to recover from his trauma."
The bookworm nodded, understanding.
"In the meantime," Jillian announced, "I think we should let RJ get some rest."
She started taking the Wolf Master to his room, but he managed to take a step back.
"Thanks, but I can take myself to my room," RJ told his girlfriend before heading over to his room.
"I will be watching over my son," Master Finn told the others before following his son.
"We returned here in case Kelly tried something," Master Swoop told the others.
"Do you think she might try something?" Hartford asked.
"We're fearing that," Master Swoop answered, "we worry she might kill RJ as she's wanting to hurt him and Dustin."
"She's just bitter because people wouldn't dance to her little tune," Flit spoke up.
"She hates her family because they had rules she didn't want to comply to and the fact that her brother, or any other child for that matter, was an inconvenience to her," Fran added, "she hates the Power Rangers, mainly RJ's team and the Ninja Storm team, because they kept things from her which is understandable why they had to keep their identities secret."
"Breathe, Fran," Twyla gently placed her hands on the bookworm's shoulders, "I think they got the idea."
"They're also looking for Rekino," Jillian stated.
"What for?" Twyla asked.
"She overheard what Kelly did to RJ and she's not a happy camper to say the least," the pink and green ranger answered.
"You don't think she might do something, do you?" Twyla asked.
"God forbid," Flit chimed in.
"To be honest," Master Swoop, "I am uncertain. If she's after Kelly, then she won't stop till she gets her revenge on her by seriously hurting her, or worse."
"Good," Fran muttered.
"How can you say that?" Twyla asked.
"How can I not?" Fran replied, "She hurt RJ, did the unthinkable! She also hurt Dustin. If I could, I'd get revenge on her as well."
"That's not how the hero thing goes," Twyla chastised, "let alone a Power Ranger. Rekino should know that being a Lady Ronin Guardian does not give her a license to kill."
"Do you think she could do that?" Hartford asked, "not that I care since Kelly has hurt members of my family."
"She just might have it coming," Flit replied.
"Rekino is capable of doing that," Twyla answered, "she is ninja after all."
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
James looked around as the Ronins, Guardians and rangers were looking for Rekino. Amaya had just joined them moments prior.
"I have a very bad feeling about this," Ryo stated.
"You and me both," Hana nodded in agreement.
"What do you think is going to happen?" Aisha asked.
"I don't even know why Rekino is going after Kelly," Minh stated.
"The reason being is because..." Amaya glanced around, "Kelly hurt RJ."
"Hurt RJ?" Adam looked at the Torrent guardian.
"Hurt as in she sexually assaulted him," Mia inquired.
"What?!" Adam exclaimed in shock.
Everyone looked at the guardians in stunned silence.
"So that's what happened," Camille muttered, shocked over the fact that someone would stoop as low as the blue dragon warrior did. She looked over Jarrod, who was feeling saddened for someone he knew back at the academy.
"I'm afraid it's true," Casey nodded as he, Lily, Theo and Dominic arrived at the scene.
"That's why Rekino is dead set on going after Kelly," James stated.
"That's why RJ was afraid of her," Jarrod glanced up.
"And that's why Jillian is with him for support," Minh added.
Suddenly, the group was hit with two blasts of energy. The group stood up and saw Geneva and Nathan with a group of rinshi.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Rocky exclaimed.
"You guys don't know when to quit!" Billy added.
"You're right about that," Nathan quipped.
"We will not quit until you fools are defeated for good," Geneva added.
The Ronin Warriors, Lady Ronin Guardians, Casey, Lily, Theo, Dominic, Jarrod, Camille, Tommy, Kimberly, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Minh, Billy, Dustin, Conner, Kira and the Operation Overdrive rangers all began their fights with their enemy.
Ryo, Rowen, Mia, Cye, Amaya, Casey, Theo, Dominic, Tommy, Rocky, Aisha, Dustin, Kira, Ronny, Will, and Dax all took on Nathan and his group of rinshi.
"Flare Up Now!"
The attacks coming from Ryo wiped out the rinshi in his path.
"You know," the Ronin leader stated, "when I find Rekino, if I find Rekino, she's going to owe me big time for this!"
"Arrow Shock Wave!"
"Eight Way Storm!"
The attacks coming from Rowen and Mia took out the rinshi in their paths.
"Super Wave Smasher!"
"Deep Fathom Sphere!"
The attacks coming from Cye and Amaya wiped out all of the rinshi in their paths.
Ronny used her hyper speed ability to take out the rinshi in her path while Dax used high kicks to defeat his rinshi and Will and Kira both beat down all of his rinshi.
"Double team?" Aisha asked her husband.
"You bet!" Rocky nodded happily. The red and yellow rangers double teamed against rinshi that were in their paths.
"Call to the beast inside – free the tiger!" Casey unleashed his tiger spirit to wipe out the opponents in his path.
"Call to the beast inside – unleash the jaguar!" Theo unleashed his jaguar spirit to wipe out the opponents in his paths.
"Rhino blade super slash!" Dominic used his weapon to take out the opponents in his path.
This left Dustin and Tommy with Nathan.
"You two are very lucky that I cannot kill you," Nathan stated, "our new boss wants Tommy for himself while Kelly wants to destroy Dustin after making him watch her kill the Wolf Master."
"Oh please," Tommy retorted, "Kelly just hates us and her own family because won't adhere to her wishes. She had a downfall and she just can't take it over the fact that things will never be what they once were to her."
"She won't kill RJ!" Dustin exclaimed, "not if we can help it!"
"Dino Thunder, power up!" Tommy proceeded to power up in his Dino Thunder Black Ranger powers.
Sage, Hana, Kento, Josephine, James, Lily, Jarrod, Camille, Kimberly, Billy, Adam, Minh, Conner, Mack, Rose and Tyzonn all took on Geneva and her group of rinshi.
"Thunderbolt Cut!"
"Sunspot Fury!"
The attacks coming from Sage and Hana wiped out all of the rinshi in their paths.
"Iron Rock Crusher!"
"Iron Stone Kinesis!"
The attacks coming from Kento and Josephine eliminated all of the rinshi that were in their paths.
"Call to the beast inside -bring out the cheetah!" Lily unleashed her cheetah spirit and wiped out the rinshi in her path.
"Spirit of the lion!" Jarrod unleashed his lion spirit to wipe out the rinshi in his path.
"Spirit of the chameleon!" Camille unleashed her chameleon spirit to eliminate the rinshi in her path.
Rose used her invisibility to trick the rinshi in her way before eliminating her opponents. Mack used his super strength to take out his opponents. Tyzonn managed to kick down and defeat his rinshi that were fighting him.
"Power bo!" Kimberly used her weapon to take out all of her opponents in her path.
Billy, Adam and Minh beat down their opponents and used their lance, axe and daggers respectively to take out the rinshi that were in their way.
James found himself face to face with Geneva.
"So you think you can take me on, James?" the python warrior retorted.
"I don't think, missy," James replied, "I know."
"Spirit of the python!"
"Spirit of the griffin!"
Geneva and Nathan knocked down their opponents, but James was not going to admit defeat, neither was Tommy or Dustin.
"We will enjoy this," Geneva stated before she and Nathan prepared another blow.
"Stop right there!"
Everyone in the area looked to see five new faces appear at the scene. The first one looked half elven female, the second one was another female with dark hair dressed dark, the third figure was a female with dark hair wearing blue, the fourth was a male with dark hair and the fifth and final figure was a female with blonde hair.
"Who invited you lot?" Nathan asked.
"I sort of did," James answered, "allow us to introduce you to some of the members of Section 7."
He first glanced at the half elven, "This is Shaw Hunter."
Hana glanced at the girl dressing dark ish, "That girl is a vampire slayer named Faith."
Mia glanced at the other dark haired female, "Cordelia Chase."
Ryo faced the only male in the group, "Xander Harris."
"And Amy Madison," Josephine said as she glanced at the blonde woman.
"How do you know these guys?" Casey asked.
"They are Section 7 of Sunnydale," James explained, "I lived with them for some time, and the Ronins and their guardians met them a few years ago when the Lady Ronin Guardians were under the control of Talpa and Glory."
"Old enemies, right?" Dominic asked.
"Exactly," James answered.
"Don't remind me of that control," Amaya muttered.
"You must be the Dark Elite," Shaw spoke up, "the new enemy to the Power Rangers."
"Yeah," Nathan answered, "and are we supposed to be afraid of you feeble girls and guy?"
"Well," Faith glanced at the griffin warrior, annoyed, "let's just show them what these feeble girls and guy can do."
The five leapt into action, preparing for action. Tommy and James joined in to help them.
Faith fought a group of rinshi that were coming her way and managed to defeat them despite not knowing them as well as vampires or demons.
"Not bad for a first timer against these things," the dark haired slayer noted.
A few more rinshi tried to ambush her, but Kimberly used her power bo and Minh used her daggers to help out the slayer.
"Whoa!" Faith exclaimed, "you guys must be Power Rangers. Thanks for the help."
"That's what we do," Minh replied.
Xander and Amy were fighting against a group of rinshi as well. Billy, Casey and Conner each helped them out. Casey using his strength and Connor kicking butt and using his super speed.
"So they must be Power Rangers!" Xander exclaimed with excitement, "I thought they were just like comic book heroes."
"Focus, Xander!" Amy exclaimed before focusing on three rinshi, "Goddess Hecate, work thy will!"
"Uh oh," the dark haired teen muttered.
"What?" Casey asked.
"Before thee let the unclean thing crawl!" Amy called upon her magic which hit the rinshi. When the energy cleared, the three rinshi were now rats, which hurried away from the scene.
"She's a witch?!" Conner exclaimed, excited.
"Our resident Sabrina of Sunnydale," Xander answered.
Cordelia found herself face to face with Geneva. Helping her were Kira, Lily, Adam, and Aisha as rinshi had joined them.
The rangers watched in amazement as the young lady with them was fighting the rinshi and was able to take them on with ease, almost like an Amazon while they were fighting rinshi.
"Whoa!" Kira exclaimed.
"You fight like Wonder Woman," Adam stated in awe.
"Like an Amazon!" Lily and Aisha added.
"I am an Amazon," Cordelia replied.
James, Tommy and Shaw fought against Nathan and it didn't take too long to defeat the griffin warrior, even with a small group of rinshi that were in their path.
"Just like before?" James asked the half elven.
"Sounds great," Shaw nodded. Both used their sword skills with help from Tommy's white ranger power to knock down the griffin warrior, causing him to fall to the ground.
"That's how we do it!" Tommy exclaimed.
"It is great to work with the legendary Power Ranger here," Shaw stated, glancing at the aforementioned legendary ranger.
"Something doesn't feel right," James stated.
"What do you mean?" Shaw asked.
"I have this feeling Rekino might do something that she'll later regret," James answered.
"I think you should go retrieve her before that happens," Tommy suggested.
"I might need a bit of back up," James replied.
"Count me in," Ryo stepped forward, "Rekino's my sister."
"Me too," Hana followed suit, "She has to calm down."
"And me," Rowen joined the group.
"Count me in," Tommy stepped forward.
"I might as well join in," Dustin followed suit, "to see Kelly one last time."
Casey, Mack, Ronny, Minh, Dustin, Conner, Josephine and Sage also joined in. Kento and Mia as well.
"That works for me," James smiled, "I'll need some volunteers from Section 7 as well."
"I'll go," Shaw stepped forward, "Cordelia and Faith will join me."
"We're not done yet!" Nathan yelled as he and Geneva got back up.
"Xander," Shaw told her teammates, "you and Amy help the rest of the group with the enemy."
"Will do," Xander and Amy replied in unison before joining the rest of the group in the battle against the griffin and python warriors as the others made their way to the Fortress of Despair.
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
Keith and Kelly looked on as they were in another room of the fortress.
"Those rangers, Ronins and Guardians are going to be in for a surprise," the red dragon warrior stated.
"Knowing how the Power Rangers are," Kelly crossed her arms, "they'll try their best to stop us with our plan. Too bad they will fail."
"The demise of your two ex boyfriends will be in your hands," Keith stated, "if the Yellow Ninja Storm Ranger tries anything, he will be destroyed first, then the Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger will fall once you find him."
"But of course," Kelly replied, "RJ and Dustin are the ones in particular that I will kill by myself. I intend to make Dustin suffer before setting up his demise. By that, I will kill RJ while he watches."
"Wanna bet?"
"Who's there?!" Keith demanded.
"If it's one of you Power Rangers," Kelly called out, "give it up, even with the Ronin Warriors and Lady Ronin Guardians by your side, you will fall as well the Yellow Ninja Storm Ranger and the Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger."
Rekino suddenly flew into the area and gave first Keith, and then Kelly a swift kick from behind.
"You won't be hurting RJ or Dustin on my watch!" Rekino exclaimed as she stood back up, ready to fight.
"Who the hell are you?" Kelly snarled.
"You do not have the right to talk, Kelly Halloway," Rekino glared at the demon ish woman, "you betrayed not only your own family, but the Power Rangers as well and you also threatened to kill your ex boyfriends, which is the lowest of the low that one can go!"
"What's it of your fucking concern?" Kelly asked.
"It's of my concern if you hurt my friends and/or family," the Wildfire Guardian answered, "RJ and Dustin are two of my friends; you hurt Dustin, betrayed his team and broke his heart, you hurt RJ, my closest friend, cheated on him, abused him, and on top of that raped him! The audacity of you!"
She looked at her new appearance, "And I don't much approve of your new look either."
"I didn't ask for your approval," Kelly scoffed.
"You're wasting our time, girl," Keith snarled.
"Leave her to me," Kelly told her fellow dragon warrior, "you should help Geneva and Nathan with the rest of the pests."
"Good idea," Keith nodded before getting into his armor and leaving.
"He's the least of my problems," Rekino glared at her opponent, "you are."
"Really now?"
"You like taking advantage of people? Then pick on someone your own size!"
"You're not even half my size, girl!"
"Yeah, but I hit harder than you do!"
With that, Rekino summoned her subarmor, and proceeded to start her fight with Kelly.
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
Master Finn looked over at RJ while he was laying in his bed, trying to sleep, but the recent events kept him from doing so. The shark master had never seen his youngest son so vulnerable and scared before. Kelly must have put him through hell to cause this. He wanted so badly to hurt her for what she did to his son, but he knew this was not the Pai Zhua way to seek vengeance upon a sicko like her, even though she was working with the enemy now.
He sighed as he brushed a lock of hair back and noticed that he flinched. The shark master sighed sadly. He had failed his youngest son, just like he failed his wife. He didn't protect RJ and now he was in this vulnerable state.
It didn't help that he failed his oldest son too. All of his sons for that matter. He knew Dustin, Conner and Eric were fine as Dustin and Eric were Ninja Storm rangers and Conner was a Dino Thunder ranger and they were raised just fine, but somehow, he wished he had been able to keep his older sons.
Master Finn looked back at RJ, who was still trying to fall asleep but had been unable to.
"RJ," the shark master asked his son, "I...are you okay?"
Of course he wasn't okay. RJ had been cheated on by Kelly back when she was under the alias Tiffany, he had been abused by that witch, kidnapped by her, tortured and humiliated as well, and worse of all, she had taken his innocence, something he will never be able to get back. Master Finn wasn't sure when and if RJ would be able to recover from this ordeal.
"Dad," RJ quietly spoke as he looked at his father.
"You should get some sleep."
"How can I?" the Wolf Master replied, "Ever since Kelly kidnapped me, I haven't been able to get much sleep! When I do sleep, I see her in my dreams, attacking me. It..it's just..."
This was just terrible; RJ was usually upbeat, optimistic and calm, but right now, he was laying there lost, helpless and depressed. This was every parent's nightmare.
"I even once had the dream where I tried calling for you guys," RJ added on, "but no one came, and Kelly beat me for talking, trying to fight her and even calling for help."
Master Finn felt his heart sink upon hearing that. This was something no one should have to endure, let alone one's own child. He gently placed a hand on his arm which caused the wolf master to briefly flinch, "I won't let Kelly touch you ever again. Your brothers, friends and your girlfriend won't allow her to touch you again as well. You are safe now."
The shark master vowed to never fail RJ or any of his other sons ever again for as long as he lived.
-Through-Dangerous-Times-
Rekino sparred against Kelly and was doing well and at first she was doing well.
"I guess it's time I show this chic my new powers," the demoness stated before unleashing dark energy, which caused the Wildfire guardian to fly in the air and fall to the ground. Quickly, she got back up and glanced at her.
"So you're now a demon with powers, eh?" Rekino quipped, "still no problem."
"I like a challenge," Kelly smirked.
"Armor of Wildfire! Dao Jin!"
Rekino was now in her armor, ready for a fight, "I like a challenge as well."
"Eat some blue dragon fire!" Kelly yelled as she unleashed some more dark energy.
Rekino dodged before unleashing an attack of her own, "Tornado Fire Flare!"
Both opponents were with some injury. Luckily for the Wildfire Guardian, Kelly sustained more injuries.
"You're good, small stuff," Kelly smirked.
"Get this, you bitch," Rekino replied in anger, "I am not small stuff! I am fun sized!"
The kunoichi gave the red head a good arse kicking as she gave her blow after blow, refusing to allow her to block or fight back, "You are going to pay for the hell you put RJ through."
Kelly growled before kicking Rekino in the leg and then pinning her to a wall nearby.
"You will soon meet your end." the demoness smirked.
"Hello there."
Rekino and Kelly turned around to face James, who had just arrived at the area. Then Rekino kicked Kelly off of her, rolled to the ground and then bounced back up.
"Care to say something to me?" James asked the former human.
"Eh?" Kelly quipped, "What the fuck are you gonna do?!"
"This," James answered before unleashing another attack, "Energy Claws deploy!"
To the red head's disbelief, she found herself cut up, including losing an arm.
"Didn't mean for that to happen," James stated.
Suddenly, the lost arm grew back much to the armored warriors' surprise.
"This bitch has clearly become demonic!" Rekino exclaimed, "Shit has really hit the fan!"
"Human or not," Hana stated as she arrived at the scene, "you are a bitch! You should be ashamed of yourself with hurting RJ and Dustin among others, but seeing that you don't care, it will be no problem to take you out."
"The more, the merrier," Kelly smirked.
"Careful guys," Rekino warned the group arriving, "she's now a demon and she has some tricks up her sleeve."
"Noted," Cordelia nodded.
"Rinshi!" Kelly lifted her arm and a group of rinshi appeared.
"She really wants an all out battle there," Faith stated, "Ready, Lady Tuvok?!"
"As I'll ever be," Shaw stated. Normally, she had disdain for Star Trek, but the half elven allowed her soul sister Faith to get away with Star Trek references to her.
The group was mostly focused on fighting the rinshi that Kelly summoned while Rekino continued to fight the blue dragon warrior.
James suddenly noticed Rekino preparing a move that could potentially be fatal, even for a human turned demon.
"What a second?!" James exclaimed, "Rekino, killing is not the way to go here!"
"He's right," Amaya added, "remember the bible verse: thou shall not kill!"
"She wouldn't kill Kelly, would she?" Faith asked.
"She's not Kelly anymore," Dustin spoke up, "she's a wolf, or in this case a demon, in human clothing."
"Maybe she can be saved," Casey stated, "if Jarrod could be saved when I helped him break free of Dai Shi's control, maybe Kelly's demon form can be reversed."
"Not everyone can be saved," Dustin pointed out. Casey would have liked to believe otherwise, but a part of him knew that the Yellow Ninja Storm ranger was right on point. At least she couldn't be saved.
"I knew Kelly longer than RJ," Dustin continued, "even if we could save her, look at her, I don't think she wants to be saved!"
"Can someone fill me in on what the hell you're talking about?" Cordelia asked.
"I'll explain it later," James answered.
"She played me as well as the rest of the Ninja Storm Rangers," Dustin said, "she also played RJ, except I think she played my baby brother the worst. She raped RJ. It's not a kindness to save her at this point."
"Thank you!" Rekino exclaimed.
"It's not the ranger way!" Tommy exclaimed while trying to fight past some rinshi, "and it is definitely not the Pai Zhua or righteous way!"
"Save it, all of you," Rekino stated, letting out her feelings, "Kelly has gone too far down this path and if I don't do something, she'll go after RJ and kill him and then kill Dustin. I'm fond of Dustin too, and RJ is my closest friend of the Power Rangers and I choose to protect my friends at any and all costs!"
"Oh shut up!" Kelly yelled before unleashing another blast of dark energy. This time, Rekino deflected the attack and it hit the other side of the room.
"She made her choice," the Wildfire guardian stated, "it's her or us."
Rekino stood strong while fighting hard against Kelly.
Casey looked on as the Wildfire guardian was fighting against the human turned demon. He wasn't sure what to think about this situation; RJ was his best friend and mentor, and he hated Kelly for all of the hell she put the Wolf Master through. However, the Tiger Master knew killing was not the way to deal with this. However, he feared if Kelly lived she might go and kill RJ and possibly Dustin.
Rekino was now at a stand off with Kelly as she was giving everything her all landing her punches, kicks and jabs on Kelly, "Giving up yet?"
"Not a chance, short stuff," the red head smirked.
"I am not going over this again," Rekino replied, "call me short one more time and it is going to be fucking much worse for you, bitch ass!"
"I'm kinda liking my upgrades," Kelly muttered, dealing with the pain that the kunoichi given her, "after I finish you and Dustin over there, I will take care of RJ, something I should have done in the first place."
"Not for long, you won't," Rekino replied before delivering more blows to the demon, "you won't be hurting anyone."
She noticed that Ryo, Rowen, Hana, James and even Casey and Tommy were trying to stop her, except they were being blocked by rinshi, not that she really cared.
"You are a sick individual," Rekino told Kelly as she was giving her blow after blow, "Dustin cared about you, all of the Ninja Storm rangers. You played them, mostly Dustin and you broke his heart while you were at it. He did his best to move forward, and then, you go after RJ, pretending to be some punk named Tiffany. RJ is a kind person, a sweet person. You end up cheating on him and breaking his heart as well, and on top of that, you not only drug him after you kidnapped him, you raped him. Raped him! No one deserves that shit!"
"I know what I did," Kelly spoke in an almost challenging tone as she was badly beaten, "I know, but I don't care anymore. Why should I? My family disowned me as did my friends and my business shut down. I got nothing left! I lost everything! Want to take my life too? That's just fine by me. I don't fucking care anymore! Go ahead and kill me, small fry!"
"With fucking pleasure!" Rekino yelled as she delievered even more blows, "You'll then be out of our lives!"
The Wildfire guardian landed yet another blow, "You won't be able to hurt RJ or anyone else again!"
"You can't haunt his dreams!" Rekino gave out another blow as she noticed that Kelly was now beaten to the point to where she couldn't stand. Seconds later, she got out some blades that contained poison in them, "And RJ will never have to fear you again!"
With that, the kunoichi tossed the poisonous blades and they gave Kelly a direct hit.
"Rekino, stop!" Casey and James yelled in unison, managing to break free from the rinshi. However, as they pulled her away, they realized it was too late. The blades were taking their toll on Kelly.
"Thanks for the death," Kelly muttered as coughed up some blood, "I'm pretty sure the visions of my demise will haunt you the rest of your life, even if you manage to cover it up. If only RJ wasn't such a dumb ass dick head, maybe I wouldn't have had much an issue with him."
It took a bit for the poison from the blades to take affect, but within moments, Kelly Halloway was dead, leaving the heroes in shock.
"Leave them!" Kartras ordered the rinshi, "everything is going to plan!"
