In most universes, there are only a total of five Power Coins, created by Ninjor and gifted from Zordon to the first ever human rangers of Earth: the Mastodon, Pterodactyl, Triceratops, Sabertooth Tiger, and Tyrannosaurus.
Down the line, Rita Repulsa used her magic to manipulate her own Power Ranger with the lost Power Coin of the Dragonzord but eventually her own Ranger became a force of good. This Power Coin eventually lost its power and the bearer would later use the Tigerzord during Lord Zedd's time.
However, in some timelines there are more than just the six. Such as this universe…
Up on the Moon Palace, Rita Repulsa saw the latest monster go up in smoke thanks to the Power Rangers -or meddling power fools in her words. She growled, "Why can't they just ever go about a normal day and not attack my monsters?!"
"I thought you sent that one to destroy the Power Rangers?" Squatt asked.
"It's a rhetorical question you buffon!" Rita shrieked and fired a blast of magic at the one of her two dim-witted minions. She had grown infuriated with the failures of her lead scientist.
"You will surely get them next my empress. Let me crush the rangers in your name!" Goldar roared, wanting another battle with them.
"No!" Rita shouted, still throwing her temper tantrum. "I know you have a vendetta against the Red and Green Rangers but I forbid you from attacking them unless I decide it's necessary!"
"As you wish, my empress." Goldar relented.
"Finnster! Have you come up with a monster that can defeat these annoying teenagers!?" Rita whined at her lead scientist/monster maker.
Finnster scurried out and dusted off his apron. "As a matter of fact my mistress, I have properly created a monster that can match the Power Rangers themselves." The scientist stated proudly.
The monster emerged from the corridor. It was a chimera-like monster with sharp tusk-like fangs, a row of ebony plates on its back, red glowing eyes, and long claws on its arms and feet. It was mostly covered in black scales.
"Meet Destroysaur." Finnster introduced, "I made it to make sure that it stands a chance against the Power Rangers and their weapons."
The Destroysaur let out a roar, knocking Badboon and Squatt off their feet while Goldar stood his ground. Rita eyed the monster, somewhat interested in the creation. "How can you be certain this monster is capable of destroying the Power Rangers?" Rita asked.
"As you can see, the tusks and claws are designed to match their Power Weapons and sheer strength. Its back can redirect any energy attacks fired at it, allowing it to use it to their advantage."
Rita hummed in thought for a while. While she like the appearance of Destroysaur, she wanted to know if it had the power to back it up. After the recent failures, she wanted to see if Finnster's creation could live up to what he said.
"Hmmm, I like your work, Finnster but it needs to be properly tested." Rita deemed. "Goldar! Fight this monster to test its strength!"
"Yes my mistress! Fight me at your peril, warrior!" Goldar roared and drew his blade.
With a horizontal and vertical slash, Destroysaur's scales repelled the blows from Goldar. The Titan drew a punch but upon impact, Destroysaur was unfazed. And at close range, the chimera threw a swipe of his own and hit Goldar, sending him back into a pillar.
"A mere strike will not keep me down! Nor the Power Rangers!" Goldar declared and rushed again at Destroysaur. Destroysaur met the attack by blocking with his plates on his back. Goldar's blade struck, only to get sparks before the chimera lunged and tackled Goldar into the same pillar, managing to crack it.
Goldar attempted to lift Destroysaur at close range but the chimera was stronger than the Titan anticipated. And at close range, Destroysaur fired an energy blast from his mouth and fired it at Goldar. This resulted in Goldar being sent out of the Moon Palace.
The Destroysaur was about to follow with the intention of finishing the fight until Rita spoke up, "Halt!" Destroysaur stopped in his tracks, heeding the command of the sorceress. She was impressed by Destroysaur's abilities and strength. Not many can fight evenly with Goldar. Let alone a single monster.
"You've outdone yourself, Finnster." Rita praised the scientist. "Surely, this monster is capable of destroying the Power Rangers if it can match Goldar. It will be sent immediately."
She could practically see the demise of the Power Rangers.
At the Command Center, the Power Rangers were celebrating their latest triumph over their latest victory.
"Man, we are unstoppable!" Zack cheered.
"You said it, Zack!" Kimberly agreed and shared a high five with him.
"Rangers. While I do find it admirable you have overcome Rita's monsters time and time again, it is best not to become overconfident." Zordon both applauded and warned.
"He's right." Billy admitted, "Despite our many triumphs over Rita's forces, we shouldn't be unaware of future events that could lead to the downfall of Earth."
"He means we shouldn't become overconfident or Rita could take advantage." Trini explained.
"Billy and Trini are right." Zordon confirmed. "But as for now, I think you have earned a proper celebration for your recent victories."
"What do you say, guys?" Jason asked his friends, "Ernie's?" Everyone agreed and were teleported out.
As soon as they left, Alpha-5 entered the foyer. "They are excelling well, aren't they Zordon?"
"Yes. But despite their consistent victories, I fear Rita is plotting something more evil." Zordon admitted, "But none of that now. Have you had any luck locating the two lost Power Coins?"
Alpha-5 shook its head, "I've had no luck Zordon. And I fear that I may not be able to find them. Ninjor's energy signature is quite hard to track."
Zordon became worried by that statement. When he and Alpha awoke from their slumber when Rita was freed, they only had the five Power Coins. The lost two Power Coins were the last ones they had been searching for. He feared that Rita had them in her possession much like the Green Power Coin but he was certain as they were lost millions of years ago, so there is no chance she does. When the Rangers go about their days, Zordon instructs Alpha-5 to find the lost coins and they still have little success.
"We cannot let these dead-ends hinder our progress. Continue to try, Alpha. I have faith in you."
…
At the Angel Grove Youth Center, the place was alive as usual.
Naomi Stewart was busy reading up on Greek archaeology. She has dark brown hair with braids and dressed in a magenta tank top, dark jeans, and purple converse. She was sipping on a pomegranate smoothie for the time being.
Adrian Baker was in the middle of a yoga session. He is doing the 'Tree' pose and miraculously holding himself together on one foot. He is ginger and his outfit was an orange t-shirt, black joggers, and was currently barefoot on his orange yoga mat.
"And once again, the latest monster attack has been thwarted thanks to the help of the Power Rangers!" A news reporter replied, "Whoever they are, Angel Grove is truly grateful to have such superheroes help us."
"They are heroes aren't they, Naomi?" Ernie asked the mythology girl. Naomi looked up from her book and gave a nod.
"Yeah, they sure are." She said before inquiring, "Who do you think they could be? Perhaps chosen heroes by deities?"
Adrian walked over, "What are you two talking about?" He asked as he took a seat.
"The Power Rangers." Naomi responded, her voice full of integrity. She had read about heroes from her many stories based on mythology and she recently wondered if the Power Rangers were chosen by beings of a higher level.
Adrian shook his head in amusement. He knows that Naomi always had a fascination for reading mythology, especially heroes from their respective cultures or beliefs. The orange-clad yoga teen simply took a sip of his mango smoothie before answering, "Can't keep your mind off them for a minute, can you?"
"What can I say, I'm a mythology geek." Naomi said proudly.
"Do you ever wonder who is under the helmets?" Ernie chimed in.
"All the time." Naomi said dreamily until she frowned, "Though it's not like they are ever just going to walk in your bar, Ernie."
"You never know." Ernie shrugged as Jason, Zack, Billy, Trini, Kim, and Tommy entered the bar.
"Hey, Ernie!" Zack called out and propped up at the counter, "The usual for us."
"You got it, Zack." Ernie replied and went to make their usual beverages.
"Hey, Adrian." Kimberly said and shared a brief hug. The two often did yoga together, which helped with Kimberly's nervousness at times and served as a great friend during the time her parents were getting divorced.
"Naomi, great to see you." Billy greeted.
"Likewise, Billy." Naomi replied right back. Billy was more of a man of science while Naomi preferred in mythology and such but the two were very studious and excellence in class.
"So what divine entity are you reading about this time?" Billy asked.
"Sun Wukong, the legendary Monkey King of Chinese folklore." Naomi sighed dreamily.
"Your favorite mythological hero." Billy teased.
"Of course." Naomi agreed. "I just got to the part about when he became the guardian of the peach garden."
"It makes you wonder if such tales of divine beings actually existed on this plane of reality." Billy said which Trini surmised as, "He wonders if the stories are true or fiction."
"Keeping up with your gymnastic practices, Kim?" Adrian asked as Kim and Tommy sat together. "Been a while since I saw you on the balance board or teach a fitness dance class."
"Busy with school work," Kimberly lied, knowing she couldn't tell the truth. "Keeping those As up and not mention spending time with Tommy too."
"Yep, I'm one lucky guy." Tommy somewhat boasted.
Adrian was happy for Kim to find someone. He had see her as a sister to him and was happy to see Tommy as her boyfriend. Not mention, the signs were obvious in Adrian's eyes.
Unexpectedly, the wrist communicators beeped to life causing the teenagers with attitude to hold back their groans. "Um, sorry, I have to take this," Jason lied and hurried to a secluded place.
Once he made sure the coast was clear, Jason answered, "What is it, Zordon?"
[I am detecting one of Rita's monsters attacking the quarry. This monster is causing chaos and needs to be put to a stop.]
"You got it, Zordon." Jason replied and whistled to his friends.
"Hey, Ernie. Might want to hold off on those drinks." Zach called in the back, hoping that Ernie heard him and wasn't making the drinks. He and the others got the memo and caught up with Jason and headed off, leaving Naomi and Adrian at the counter.
"Do you ever wonder where they are going?" Naomi asked. "We hardly see them outside of school and here."
"It's crossed my mind a few times but I'm just shrugging it off now." Adrian admitted. "Come on, let's get some sun, Naomi."
"Do I have to?" Naomi partially whined as she gathered her stuff and left with him. Adrian had recently suggested Naomi should get some sunlight at Angel Grove Park. Naomi was hesitant but Adrian was persistent.
As they left, Ernie came back with the smoothies Zack requested but looked in confused. "Where did everyone go?"
Destroysaur smashed a rock in a quarry, letting out a roar that had civilians running for cover.
"Hey, fossil-face!"
Destroysaur turned around and saw the six Power Rangers land on the ground before posing.
"I think you'll find that any friends of yours went extinct a millennium ago!" Zack taunted.
"Rangers… Destroysaur destroy Rangers!" Destroysaur roared as the Power Rangers ran towards the chimera.
Jason threw a series of punches and kicks that was followed by Billy and Trini firing their Blade Blasters. Destroysaur shrugged off the attacks like they were nothing. With the Red Ranger close, he landed two swipes that sent Jason flying.
"Our Blade Blasters don't have any effect on it!" Billy noticed with concern.
"Try your Power Weapons!" Zack suggested and brought out the Power Axe. He shifted it into cannon mode as Destroysaur came charging. The Black Ranger fired away, only resulting in no effect on the chimera.
"It didn't even faze him?!" Zack cried out as the chimera slashed the Black Ranger rapidly before swinging its tusks around. The Black Ranger was hit hard and collided with a construction vehicle.
From an excavator, Kimberly had the creature in her sight. "Power Bow!" She shouted, summoning her weapon, and released several arrows that were deflected by Destroysaur's armor. The monster proceeded to unleash an energy blast from its mouth but the Pink Ranger dodged it, narrowly avoiding the explosion that destroyed her perch.
Tommy brought out his Dragon Dagger and landed several slashes but had no effect much like the Power Weapons. Tommy began to throw a punch which bounced off the scales. Destroysaur swung his tail around, tripping the Green Ranger then brought his tail around, slamming him rapidly.
"Hey, get off him!" Jason shouted as Zack and Kimberly fired their weapons again, only having no effect much like before. Destroysaur shrugged them off but it was becoming an annoyance. The monster released another energy blast that struck the other rangers altogether.
Groaning in pain, they managed to recover as Billy noted, "We aren't making a dent!"
"Then I think we need to put them together!" Jason suggested. The other rangers followed in tandem.
"Power Axe!"
"Power Bow!"
"Power Lance!"
"Power Daggers!"
"Power Sword!"
Jason brought down their combined weapon, the Power Blaster. Holding their weapon together, they all yelled, "Fire!"
The Power Blaster released a burst of concentrated Grid energy towards the chimera. Destroysaur took the hit, absorbing it through its body before releasing it ten-folds back at the colored heroes. The Power Rangers were sent flying back, landing in pain as Destroysaur growled with content.
As the battle shifted in favor of Rita's monster, Zordon watched from the Command Center, with concern.
"Ai-ya-ya-ya-ai!" Alpha-5 reported, "Zordon! This monster is beating the Power Rangers! Even their Power Weapons are not affecting it!"
"It seems this monster, Destroysaur, is impervious to anything the Power Rangers use. Even hand-to-hand combat is not effective." Zordon said.
"What will the Rangers do now?" Alpha-5 asked.
Zordon pondered his response for a while. "The Power Rangers have proven time and time again that they are capable of defeating Rita's creations. Have faith in them, Alpha. They are sure to survive."
A klaxon went off as Zordon finished his sentence.
"Ai-ya-ya-ya-ai!" Alpha exclaimed and checked the monitor. "Zordon! I think the remaining Power Coins have been detected!"
"Alpha, teleport them here immediately." Zordon said. He was inwardly jubilant at the timing. Perhaps the Morphin Masters were looking after him and his Rangers.
Naomi was reading her book, too engrossed with it as Adrian was taking in the sunlight. He looked at his friend and teased, "Would it kill you not to be such a bookworm?"
"I'm just reading about Sun Wukong." Naomi replied as her eyes skimmed through the book for the fifteenth time.
"Naomi, so much happens when your nose isn't stuck in a book." Adrian countered.
Naomi just sighed in mild annoyance and was about to read again when Adrian pushed down her book, "I'm serious, Naomi."
"Knowledge is power, Adrian." Naomi replied as she moved her book back up.
"Yeah, but about mythological heroes?" Adrian questioned, "There is a reason they are myths."
"You don't know that." Naomi said as she put down her book for a brief second.
Two gleams catch the eyes of the passing teenagers. "Hey, what's that?" Naomi questioned and approached the gleams. She reached down, uncovering a dirt patch and came across a golden coin with a Brontosaurus engraved on it.
Adrian joined her and uncovered another coin, this one with a Stegosaurus. "What are these?"
"They look like some kind of coins. Collector's items?" Naomi guessed.
Before they could observe it any further, they were beamed away and instantly transported into the Command Center, much to their confusion and stumbled about, not used to the futuristic technology.
"Adrian, what just happened?" Namoi questioned her friend who shrugged and replied, "How should I know?"
"Greetings, finders of the lost Power Coins." Zordon boomed, announcing his presence to the two stunned teenagers.
"Adrian… you see the talking head too, right?" Naomi asked in shock. Adrian wordlessly nodded.
"I do not wish to harm you. My name is Zordon. I am an interdimensional being caught in a time warp. The reason you have been summoned is due to finding the remaining Power Coins."
"Power Coins?" Adrian repeated in disbelief. He shook his head and tried to make sense of this, "Right. I must be dreaming. Naomi, pinch me."
Naomi did the action and Adrian still found himself standing before Zordon. "Not a dream… maybe a coma?"
"I assure you Adrian, that this is no dream." Zordon explained, "You have discovered the two lost Power Coins. This was not by accident, rather fate."
"Fate?" Naomi said, somewhat skeptical but intrigued. She recalled how some mythological heroes were destined for great things and it was by fate or destiny they prevailed.
"Indeed. And now your time could not be more relevant." Zordon advised. "Look at the viewing globe." The two teenagers turned and observed said globe, seeing how the Power Rangers were still losing against Destorysaur.
"I am the being that aids the Power Rangers. And our enemy, Rita Replusa, has created a monster capable of holding its own against the Power Rangers. If it isn't stopped anytime soon, the Rangers may lose this fight."
Adrian looked apprehensive at the idea but Naomi looked very intrigued. It was like the books she had read. A divine being or elder instructing a young man or woman into the role of a hero. Something she had always read and wanted in real life.
"I know this may be alot to take in. However, the choice is yours." Zordon explained.
Adrian was about to decline when Naomi spoke up, "I accept."
"What?!" Adrian exclaimed in disbelief.
"From the stories I've read, sometimes it's not always the ideal candidate. Not the bravest, not the strongest, not the smartest. It's sometimes the unlikely candidate that makes a difference and stands up for what's right." Naomi declared, "I'll become… a Power Ranger."
Adrian was silent before giving a small sigh of agreement. "I suppose that's true. Well, if you're becoming a Ranger, what's one more?"
The two teenagers stood proud before Zordon. The Eltarian concentrated and the Power Morphers appeared before them. "You have both obtained your respective Power Coins."
"Adrian, you wield the Stegosaurus Power Coin. With it, you are the Orange Ranger. Naomi, you wield the Brontosaurus Power Coin. With it, you are the Purple Ranger. To morph, all you need to say is your respective coin's name and you will feel the Morphing Grid's power, giving you superhuman abilities."
The teenagers nodded and they turned their attention to viewing globe again. The Destroysaur had began a wild beatdown on the Red Ranger, getting scratched and struck nonstop.
"It is time Rangers." Zordon advised.
"Let's do this!" Naomi shouted and summoned her morpher. "It's morphin' time! Brontosaurus!"
"Stegosaurus!" Adrian added.
Both chosen teenagers were encompassed in their respective glows, Adrian in orange while Naomi was in purple. They felt the powers of the Morphing Grid follow through, giving them powers to battle the forces of evil.
After their transformations, Naomi and Adrian donned their costumes, the former in purple while the later was in orange. Naomi's helmet resembled the head of a Brontosaurus and Adrian had a Stegosaurus motif. Now they were officially Power Rangers.
"Ergh!" Jason grunted as Destroysaur threw him away.
"Jason!" Trini called out and they surrounded the Red Ranger. The battle had not morphed into their favor even after using the Power Blaster.
Destroysaur let out a vicious roar and spewed several waves of energy, striking the Rangers down.
"We're not doing anything!" Tommy said, struggling to rise.
Two streaks of purple and orange descended from the sky and landed on the ground. And out of them came the Orange Ranger and Purple Ranger.
"No way!" Zack exclaimed.
"Two more Rangers?" Kimberly gasped.
Jason, Billy, Trini, and Tommy shared the sediments as the two new Rangers posed.
"Ai-yah!" The two newcomers shouted and jumped into battle. Despite not knowing any fighting moves, they seemed to come naturally to them.
The Orange Ranger threw a punch-kick combo before throwing a jumping roundhouse, hitting Destroysaur between its eyes. "Woah!" Adrian exclaimed as he looked at his orange Power Ranger suit. He clenched his fists and threw a punch into the stomach of Destroysaur who stumbled back.
Since it was made to match the power of the six Power Coins, the extra ones had taken a toll on it.
Naomi dived in, boot first and landed a dive kick on monster and then a punch infused with her Grid energy. Destroysaur was pushed back before Naomi and Adrian began tag-teaming him. Adrian struck high and Naomi struck low, keeping Destroysaur annoyed and unable to keep up.
"Look at that!" Kimberly noted, "They are getting him on the ropes!"
"Who are they?" Tommy questioned.
"Rangers… use your Power Weapons." Zordon advised the two newbie Rangers.
"Right!" The newcomers agreed and summoned their weapons, "Power Whip/Power Hammer!"
Adrian summoned his Power Hammer while Namoi unfurled her Power Whip. Despite never using the weapons beforehand, they wielded them like second nature.
Adrian slammed the hammer onto the ground, creating a tremor that disoriented Destroysaur. Namoi spun her whip, allowing it to crackle with energy, then unleashed it, causing the chimera to stumble back from the pain.
Adrian charged in, delivering a wallop of his Power Hammer by slugging it into Destroysaur's face, cracking a tusk. Destroysaur fell to the ground before getting back up and roared.
"They managed to crack its tusk!" Kimberly noticed.
"Not only that, they seem to be doing more damage!" Billy informed, "Perhaps, this monster was designed to withstand our Power Weapons."
"But not theirs," Jason finished as the Orange and Purple Rangers continued their assault. Destroysaur continued to attack but the newbie Rangers were beating the chimera up.
Destroysaur backed away before charging a pulse of energy. Naomi had an idea. Seeing how this monster was durable on the outside but the inside…
"Adr-" Naomi said before she caught herself. It's not like the fact she didn't trust the Power Rangers but she didn't wish to reveal their identities to them unless necessary. "Orange! Give me a boost!"
Seeing the Purple Ranger run over, Adrian held his Power Hammer out and Naomi landed on it. With his enhanced strength, Adrian heaved her into the air and Naomi swung her Power Whip with ease before throwing it around the neck of the beast.
Destroysaur began to choke as the energy built up in his throat. Without a way to unleash the power, he was choking on the amount of energy.
Billy took a second to realize what the Purple Ranger was doing. "Of course! He is susceptible to all our attacks on the outside but might be vulnerable on the inside!"
Naomi tightened her grip as Destroysaur continued to accidentally build more energy. Without an exit, the energy started to hurt him from the inside. "Orange! Swing your weapon into its stomach! Quick!"
Orange nodded and charged in, swinging his hammer upward and directly into the stomach. The energy within combusted and Destroysaur's insides were smoking and no doubt damaged.
"Alright, you two stand back!" Jason called out and the two newbies disengaged. Destroysaur, still smoking and discombobulated, failed to notice the Power Blaster charging up.
"Fire!" The Power Blaster unleashed its energy again and this time Destroysaur was struck with the full force of Grid energy, destroying it as it couldn't redirect it. An explosion from the beast occured as the Rangers posed at their victory.
From the Moon Palace, Rita watched in anger as Destroysaur was destroyed by the new Rangers. "More Rangers!?" Goldar growled and raised his sword, "They will fall by my blade!"
"Errrrrrrr!" Rita growled, "As if Zordon didn't have enough teenagers to work for him already!" This was already starting to give her a headache. Now with two new Rangers with the lost Power Coins, her conquest of Earth was delayed even further. She was so infuriated she decided not to grow Destroysaur or snap at Finnster. Instead, the witch headed away for some me-time and to think of a new plan.
After their time in the healing chambers, the original six Rangers were congretating in the Command Center. They were still surprised at the sight of two new Rangers and their own Power Coins.
"Man, I didn't know there were more Power Coins." Tommy said, "I thought there were only six, since mine was Rita's originally."
"It is possible that there are many other Power Coins." Billy inquired, "Perhaps there are other potential Rangers out there."
"Which could mean there is more help to deal with Rita's forces." Jason finished before folding his arms, "But Zordon why didn't you tell us?"
Zordon noticed the looks of his chosen Rangers and explained. "Unfortunately, I was unsure whether the two Power Coins were able to be found. For a moment, I thought they had been lost. However, the two newest Rangers discovered them and they were essential in defeating Destroysaur."
"Yeah, that monster was getting us good." Zack admitted, somewhat sore.
"Now then. It is time to meet the new Rangers." Zordon boomed and two streaks of purple and orange touched down. The streaks revealed them to be Naomi and Adrian respectively, who were shocked at seeing their friends as the Power Rangers and vice versa.
"Adrian/Naomi?!" Kim and Trini exclaimed.
"No way…" Naomi said, stunned at seeing her friends.
"This… explains some things to be honest." Adrian admitted.
"So now you are Power Rangers too." Jason said.
"Well, yeah." Adrian sheepishly admitted before glancing at Kimberly, "Didn't think you were a Power Ranger. In hindsight, it should have crossed my mind. You have been spending time with Tommy who is also a Ranger."
"Well, I joined before him." Kimberly proudly stated.
"So, chosen by a being of power to aid in defeating a malevolent force bent on ruling Earth. Sounds like a dream come true for you, Naomi." Billy teased.
"Oh, definitely," Naomi intoned. "I'm guessing sworn to secrecy given the dangers?"
"Affirmative." Billy replied. "As well as not using your powers for personal gain or escalating a normal fight."
Naomi heeded his words as Zordon spoke again, "It is good to see all of you in good faith and trust. With the added forces, Rita's villainy would take a halt for now."
"Now, I say, to Enrie's." Zack insisted, "All those in favor?"
"I!" The rest of the Power Rangers agreed and left the Command Center in a happy mood.
And there it is, the tale of the missing Power Coins. In some timelines, Zordon and Ninjor created more than the original six. New Rangers have been blessed with the power of the Morphing Grid.
However there are still some events that remained the same.
Jason, Zack, Trini, and Naomi transfer their Power Coins to Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and a Hispanic girl named Olivia, donning the colors of Red, Black, Yellow, and Purple respectively.
Olivia poses as the Brontosaurus Zord becomes the Pegasus Thunderzord. Adrian poses as the Stegosaurus Zord becomes the Sphinx Thunderzord.
Olivia dons Purple Ninjetti with the power of the turtle. Adrian dons Orange Ninjetti with the power of the mustang.
But that is the tale of this universe.
A/N: After months, I finally got the first AU out of the way. Sorry for the delay but as you can see, I have not given up on this story. Like I said, it will take some time, plus I've been working on some future chapters here and there.
R&R, no flames please.
Until next time!
