Aboard the Venom Lord Xenon was steamed worse then anything.
"Im ruined. After all The four Rangers I ordered Nightshade to have her pet ranger kill are still alive. Not only that but That blasted Scarlet Ranger Nightshade created has turned good and allied herself or at least has appeared to ally herself with the other rangers. Id have Nightshade destroy her except Ive even lost her," Lord Xenon growled.
"Hey boss look on the bright side you still have me," Galactex pointed out.
"Except you dont have any fancy weapons. Nightshade was a better warrior then you could ever be. She struck fear in her opponents. Her zord Myrra the Infamous and all powerful Deathzord was the most powerful Zord ever," Lord Xenon complained.
"Boss Im sure I can do a good enough job taking on the rangers. After all I was with you long before you even first encountered Nightshade," Galactex said.
"I know. My uncle King Ransanov won her in a game of chance on Onyx fifty years ago from Lord Wieskoph. Its almost too bad He was assassinated by Mechinack Wieskoph was a very formidable Foe. Oh well at least Mechinack got what he deserved," Lord Xenon said.
Meanwhile a good portion of the ranger team was sitting in Galactic History listening to their teacher lecture.
Oh man Roxanne could her lecture be any more boring.
Probably as it is Amelia is the only one paying full attention. Oh boy watch out sis.
Right then Janet went to sit down only for a very obnoxious sound to come from her chair. What followed was even worse as Janet threw up in the waste basket. Greg seemed to have a slight smirk on his face.
"Simmons Detention here after school," Janet hollered as she held up one of the green rangers whoopee cushions.
Greg needs to work on his poker skills his smirk made it too obvious who had put it there.
As it is he was spending more time looking at Amelia then paying attention to Janet. Wonder how Andrew and the others are doing.
"Roxanne are you and Vanessa even paying attention or are you hiding in your own little world?" Janet asked.
"Of course we are paying attention Mrs. Hammond," Roxanne said.
"Then tell me who the last four kings of Triforia were prior to Trey," Janet said.
Roxanne answered correctly but then she had studied the book ahead of time.
That morning at lunch the Rangers got together with the rest of their team at the Youth Center. Greg was clueing Bobby, Sarah, and Mitsu in on his latest joke.
"You better hope the Professor and my mother dont find out about your escapades Greg," Amelia warned. "I doubt they would be real pleased."
"You have to consider your mother as well but especially Professor Damon dont exactly have a sense of humor," Sarah commented. "Not that I know Professor Damon real well considering most of my time as a ranger was on that mission off planet."
"Powermatic definitely lacks a sense of humor," Kim said as she was distributing everyones food.
"Who on Earth is Powermatic?" Linoka wondered.
"Powermatic is Professor Damons real name," Kim informed the Triforian born ranger.
"How come he never uses it?" Kistra wondered.
"He used to," Kim said as a cheetah came walking in. A panic started to ensue but the cheetah then reformed into a more human look almost as if the person was wearing an armored suit that looked like a cheetah.
"Armor down," the person said.
"Oh man Robert that was classic," Andrea said.
"I was behind schedule so I ran here due to the fact that unfortunately my card took me to the wrong station up here," Robert said. "Oh man Im running out of reasons for sticking around here. My first reason for staying even if I didnt accomplish my objective was the situation on Lunar. Then the whole bit with the Scarlet Ranger and Nightshade but that looks to be under control. My plan is to leave from under water tonight."
"You planning on using the pool in the Bunker or something?" Amelia wondered.
"Probably," Robert said.
"Yeah right there is no way we are letting you leave without a going away party. I doubt my parents will mind," Amelia said.
"Ah Amelia dont we have a battalion dinner tonight as it is," Michelle tried to point out. "An you are trying to schedule a going away pool party for tonight at your house."
"Ill work over my mom and the Professor after school besides where is it written down that the dinner has to be at the bunker," Amelia pointed out.
That night Amelias parents were as busy as anything getting stuff ready. Thankfully Aphrealle was helping with the cooking along with Alpha. The guests started arriving about 6:45.
"This is certainly different for a change," Professor Damon said. About 7:30 just as everyone was actually sitting down to dinner an older Asian woman showed up.
"Someone leaked to me that there was a big get together here tonight," the woman said.
"Hello Stephanie," Robert said.
"How long have you been in this time this particular trip?" Stephanie wondered.
"A Couple months but Ive been real busy Stephanie. I see you finally retired your powerband," Robert said.
"Yes most likely permanently this time," Stephanie said. "Those of you who dont know who I am exactly Im Dr. Stephanie Collington I used to be the Laboratory Director at Rangertech back when the Demona Rangers were handling the fight."
"You came here tonight probably because you knew your father was going to be here huh Stephanie," Professor Damon said.
"That I did Powermatic," Stephanie said.
Amelia once dinner was over with slipped over to talk to her adoptive mother.
"Mom, you have a minute?"
"Why something up?" Dr. Cummings asked.
"Its Mrs. Hammond my first period teacher. Today in class she threw up. OK so it was right after she sat down on a whoopee cushion that Greg had slipped on her chair but I dont think the two were related," Amelia informed her mother.
"Could be nothing but considering the problems she and Andrew are having it could even be real serious. Ill try to help her as best I can but I dont think it will be easy," Dr. Cummings promised.
A ringing of a bell was heard.
"OK Gang the important moment is upon us," Stephanie yelled. Robert then changed into Plastica and using his eagle form flew real high up. When he was high enough he powered down and fell thankfully head first using his ring to open a portal two feet below the surface on the deep end. Fairly soon his feet went through the portal.
"There is no way he could have pulled that off from the bunker," Mitsu pointed out. "Dr. Collington were you a ranger in your youth?"
"No Mitsu I wasnt. I was too busy as a Powereon to have time for rangering," Stephanie replied.
"A Powereon. I admit Ive been around for 400 years but I have no idea what a Powereon is," Mitsu said.
Jaws all over dropped at the mention of Mitsus age.
"A Powereon is a type of warrior who utilizes powers native to Demona Prime. Robert is another Powereon as was Roberts first wife Stephanies mother," Prof. Damon explained.
The next day Janet was still having problems. Amelia mentioned it to her mother that night. The next morning Dr. Cummings drove to school with Amelia. She walked right to the classroom while Amelia was at her locker besides they arrived well before classes started.
"Hello Dr. Cummings, Amelia appears to be catching up fine after her trip," Janet said.
"Actually Im here professionally," Dr. Cummings said.
"In what way?" Janet wondered.
"Ive received reports that you are throwing up during your first period class," Dr. Cummings said.
"I doubt its anything serious," Janet said.
"Im not so sure considering your personal life lately what with Andrews injury and the strain it put on your marriage," Dr. Cummings said.
"You are concerned I could be suffering from ulcers or something," Janet said.
"Its possible," Dr. Cummings said. "I want to run some tests on you the sooner the better. Have you felt any nausea this morning?"
"Yes I have I threw up during my shower this morning but I didnt see any blood in it besides I thought it was mainly older people who got ulcers."
"Ulcers can strike anyone at any age. Also not all ulcers result in bleeding," Dr. Cummings told her.
"Where is your office Ill stop by after school gets out," Janet said.
"Its at the Terra Venture Medical Center. My hope was that you would consent to my running my tests now," Dr. Cummings said. "Im sure the principal would understand due to the circumstances."
"If he is understandable I will meet you in your office," Janet said.
When Amelia and the other rangers arrived for class the principal was sitting in front.
"Principal Grey, Where is Mrs. Hammond?" Amelia wondered.
"Ill explain once everyone is here," the principal said.
Fairly soon everyone but one or two absent students were in their seats.
"A few of you are probably wondering where your teacher is. She came in today but left a short while ago. Hopefully she will only be out for today," the principal explained.
"Why did she leave do you know?" a girl not in ranger utilities asked.
"She left because of a doctors appointment. A substitute will be in for her starting with third period and I am simply covering for her until the sub can arrive."
Amelia when school got out headed right for her house with Greg and Andrea. Michelle had to work at the fitness gym teaching gymnastics and the Jackson girls had instructing for Sensei Wilcox to take care of. The other Rangers were planning on some working out at the bunker. Greg luckily has his swim gear in his bag. Patricia was just heading outside when they arrived.
"Sis, is mom home yet?" Amelia wondered.
"Not yet. Any word from Alexis and the others on Taras friend?"
"I came right from school I didnt try to contact my mother or the professor at all," Amelia said.
Ninety minutes later while they were playing Marco Polo in the pool Dr. Cummings came walking out.
"Mom did Mrs. Hammond get checked out yet?" Amelia wondered.
"Yes she did. She realized it was you that prompted my inquiry into her condition. She lucked out and the problem wasnt serious but wont clear up quickly," Dr. Cummings said. "Normally I wouldnt be allowed to tell you any more except she said I could safely tell the rangers since even if the powers are different your team is like family to her."
"So what is wrong with her?" Greg wondered.
"She is a week maybe two into her first pregnancy," Dr. Cummings said.
"Lets see Lex and the others have been gone almost a week. There was a time period of about two three days between the two trips so maybe a week and a half," Andrea figured.
"I already called it in to Professor Damon and April," Dr. Cummings said.
The next day After school Amelia walked down to Janets classroom.
"Oh hi Amelia," Janet said.
"How is your pregnancy going to affect things with Andrew?" Amy wondered.
"It will help. I spoke with your mother and the Professor. It looks like they will be on Earth for a couple months," Janet said.
"Because of Nina?" Amelia asked.
"Your mother didnt say if it dealt with Nina but Andrew was the main reason so he could undergo Physical Therapy following back surgery," Janet said. "They did pass on news of my pregnancy to I/Oca and the others."
Amelias communicator then beeped.
"Amelia here."
"Amelia, where are you in relation to the Bunker?" Aphrealle inquired.
"Im still in school right now I should be roaring off soon why something up mother?" Amelia wondered.
"You know that Construction site on the far side of the Capi Mountains where they are planning on building a new Settlement?"
"I think so."
"Galactex and a whole Battalion of Xenonites are causing major problems there," Aphrealle reported.
"Im on my way," Amelia said.
Amelia then went into Morphing Stance.
"Showtime," Amelia barked. "Pink Zordonian Power." High above appears a pink cloud. It showered Amelia in a dust storm. When she could be seen again she was the Pink Ranger.
"Athena Maximum Burn," Amelia hollered as she arrived on the roof.
Amelias zord then came zooming in. Amelia hopped aboard.
"Athena, head for Settlement 15," Amelia ordered.
"Amelia, I dont show Settlement 15 in my databanks are you sure it is a valid destination?"
"Valid enough Athena just do it," Amelia ordered. "Its under construction on the far side of the Capi Mountains from the bunker."
"OK OK cut the Nike references Amelia," Athena said. "Amelia one thing have you seen Catherine lately?"
"Couldnt tell you who or what is Catherine?" Amelia wondered.
"Jetzord 14 based on a MiG 25 Used to be known as the War Zord. The Scarlet Rangers zord."
"Nope sorry why do you ask?"
"Easy Myrra tried to land on the carrier the other day but Lance, Herc, and Thor wouldnt let her. Yet we havent seen Catherine at all since Tara came over to our side."
"It is interesting," Amelia said as they were coming up on the Capi Mountains. After a few seconds Amelia flew into a good position to take on a large quantity of the 700 Xenonites in the battalion. At one point she noticed Isis, Nefertiti, Nefertari, Electra, Cleopatra, and Hercules also shooting at the Xenonites while Michelle, Roxanne, Vanessa, Greg, Marsha, and Bobby handled stragglers from the ground. You could see where Michelle and the others on the ground had parked their bikes.
"Amelia, any idea how Mrs. Hammond is doing?" Tyrone wondered.
"She appears to be doing ok."
Fairly soon everyone met back up at the base.
"If anything it was a good strategy you all used taking out as many as possible using the zords and nailing the rest from the ground," Aphrealle said.
"If we had tried to take then all on from the ground we wouldnt have lasted long. We were what outnumbered around 54 to one," Mitsu said.
"That sounds about right," Greg said.
Amelia meanwhile was sitting at a terminal off to one side.
"What are you working on?" I/Oca wondered.
"Checking the navigational program in our zords. When I told Athena to set course for Settlement 15 it wasnt in her databanks. A problem like this in the future could prove disastrous," Amelia said. "After all Lord Xenon is a known slaver even if neither Rangertech or IGPF officers on Capsilon IX have caught him trying to enslave any of our citizens."
"What you are basically saying Amelia is that Lord Xenon could make off with a lot of our citizens if we dont keep the navigational programming up to date," Aphrealle said.
"As a matter of fact that is a concern of mine mother," Amelia responded.
Aphrealle then signaled over to Michelle and Andrea who then yanked Amelia away from the terminal and hauled her downstairs into the pool and threw Amelia into the water.
"Andrea just wait until sometime when it is just you and me at home," Amelia
cried out since it would be easier to get revenge on the teal ranger then the red ranger.
"Like Im scared little sister," Andrea said as a joke since Amelias
parents had no official claim to the orphaned ranger.
Amelia took the time to consider how her house was full of rangers since she and Andrea were full blown Power Rangers and Alexis and Patricia were both Junior Rangers even if Patricia rarely took advantage of the perks like full access to the bunker and also able to attend Functions like the Rangertech Christmas Party. She rarely even took advantage of the ranger discount at the youth center.
"Ill find a way Andrea trust me," Amelia said right before teleporting out. She came out of teleport in her bedroom where she demorphed. When she came out Patricia was in the hallway.
"Where have you been hiding Amelia? Mom was looking for you every since school got out," Patricia informed her sister.
"I was talking to my history teacher only to get called away by duty," Amelia said.
"The way you and Andrea get called away all the time it makes me wonder if I really want to take the last plunge when Im old enough," Patricia commented.
"You probably will after all Andrea and I and most likely Alexis will either be about to move on or have already moved on by the time you are old enough," Amelia said.
"Where is it said that a Junior Ranger has to become a full ranger?" Patricia wondered.
"Ill have to check since there havent been many Jr. Rangers," Amelia said.
"I know Im the only one at my school," Patricia said. "At least in uniform."
"Im not sure how the uniform regs are worked for Jr. Rangers I generally just wore my uniform. After Professor Damon and I/Oca arranged for special uniforms of course. The color difference is to show the difference between Junior Rangers and True Rangers."
The phone interrupted any further discussion.
"Hello," Patricia said.
"Could you put your sister on?" Marshas voice could be heard.
"Which one I sort of have three after all?" Patricia asked.
"The one you actually share a last name with," Marsha said.
Amelia was on the phone a few seconds later.
"Whats up Marsha?" Amelia wondered.
"Im thinking of going to see Dionne and that bunch tomorrow and I was wondering if you wanted to join me. I might invite Greg and Tyrone as well," Marsha explained. "Unfortunately due to the situation on Minosia Its been a while since I went and visited them."
"Sure," Amelia said.
The next day everyone met up at the Youth Center on their bikes. They then headed off. A problem occurred because the attendant at the Vehicular Transport Station wouldnt let all four bikes teleport at once and they only had one transport card. Fairly soon though they were roaring along Oakdale Ave in Settlement 4. The roar of their engines brought Dionne Wilson-Kent out of her house.
"What the?" She asked.
"So How is everything Dionne?" Marsha asked as she took her helmet off.
"Marsha, that whole racket was you and your friends?" Dionne inquired.
"We used our bikes so yeah," Marsha said as Amelia, Greg, and Tyrone also took their helmets off.
"Amelia I recognize from your last visit but the guys I dont," Dionne said.
"Im Greg Simmons Amelias boyfriend," Greg said as he held out his hand. Amelia quickly checked to make sure he wasnt trying to nail her with a joy buzzer.
"And Im Mr. Tyrone Coughlin Marshas chosen member of the better gender," Tyrone said trying to sound distinguished.
"Your sisters arent here at all Randi and Hillary are off swimming and Jasmine is at the doctors. Jamal took her," Dionne informed her.
"Dionne, could you picture having another kid with Jamal at all. You know beyond Me, The Gruesome twosome, and Jasmine at all?" Marsha wondered.
"I admit Im content raising the twins and Jasmine who of course is really my stepdaughter even if I am the one to pretty much raise her but Jamal and I have discussed having another one. Of course we also discussed my adopting Jasmine but Im still not sure I want to," Dionne explained.
"Who did you give birth to besides Marsha?" Tyrone wondered.
"The twins Randi and Hillary," Dionne explained. "Jamal my husband adopted the twins after we got married but I havent felt it necessary to adopt Jasmine since Ive been raising her since she was two months old. As I said she is my stepdaughter even if I dont really look at it in that way," Dionne said. "How long have you all been rangers?"
"I joined at the same time Marsha did and Tyrone was one of the last rangers to join up. We have about fifteen rangers right now. The four of us, Bobby Zhang, Michelle Connorson, Roxanne and Vanessa Jackson, This real wacko Mitsu Miyajima, Andrea Oliver, Sarah Rimyard and her sister Tara, Two Triforian girls named Kistra and Linoka and sort of a ranger from Rigel VII although we arent fully sure about her," Greg said.
"I think the only name familiar to me is Michelle," Dionne said.
A scream was heard right then from outside. Marsha immediately got up and checked the window.
"Xenonites but Red Suited," Marsha said.
"Shadow Guardian Power," Amelia barked.
"Pink" Amelia stood similar to Michelle as the Jaguar ran into her before she was washed in Pink Light.
"Green" Greg stood firm as a Hyena Entered his body. The Green Light Flowed over him solidifying without much hesitation into his Green ninja suit.
"Yellow" Marsha Spread Eagled in Front of the Rattlesnake which was entering her body as the Yellow Light Slithered over her. She was surprised when it solidified into her suit.
"Mahogany" Tyrone Stood tall as the Reddish Brown light went around him and the Condor flew into him before becoming his Ninja Suit
They then headed off into battle. After about half an hour of fighting the Xenonites fled.
"What was up with that?" Tyrone wondered after they had demorphed and were back in Dionnes living room.
"I have no clue," Marsha said.
"Something is definitely up," Greg pointed out.
"I dont know when I first moved here my cousins team around this time of year was racked by simple little skirmishes A few Gearheads but no Monsters. According to Kim thats SOP this time of year," Amelia tried to explain.
Fairly Soon Jamal and Jasmine arrived home.
"Marsha," Jasmine called as she came running.
"It was hard to get into the garage with all the bikes in front," Jamal commented.
"Sorry Jamal," Marsha said.
The guys were quickly introduced to Marshas stepfather. An hour into their next conversation A voice came over everyones communicators.
"RANGER EMERGENCY CODE RED," Alphas Voice was heard.
"Where is the Emergency Alpha?" Amelia inquired.
"In the Colonial Falls area of Old Colony," Alpha said.
"Were on it Alpha," Amelia said. "Showtime."
"Pink Zordonian Power." High above appears a pink cloud. It showered Amelia in a dust storm. When she could be seen again she was the Pink Ranger.
"Green Zordonian Power." Jolts of electrical energy flared throughout his whole body. As the energy subsided Greg was the Green Ranger.
"Yellow Zordonian Power." the surroundings became pitch black. The shadow dome burst open, revealing Marsha as the Yellow Ranger.
"Mahogany Zordonian Power."
The Rangers then headed for their bikes where they immediately hit the Jet buttons. Fairly soon they were pulling up to the battlefield. Civilians galore were in the area. Even a Monster was around.
"We have our work cut out for us," Sarah commented.
"Agreed," Mitsu said as she extended her claws one talon still broken.
At one point as a test of the rangers reaction the Monster struck down an older African American woman.
"Noooooooooooooooooooooo," Marsha howled since she had recognized the woman in question. Right then Marsha slightly phazed out of existence. Suddenly several copies of Marsha materialized. The copies went after every Xenonite along with the Monster. Suddenly the Monsters own shadow attacked him and he was defeated. When the real Marsha White rematerialized she was exhausted.
"You really showed him Marsha," Linoka said.
Marsha ignored her Sapphire suited teammate as she ran toward the injured civilian. When she got there she ripped her helmet off and examined the woman. The next thing the other rangers knew Marsha was sobbing her eyes out. The more veteran rangers and Tyrone easily knew why. The victim of the monsters assault was Greta White Marshas adoptive mother. A short time later the other rangers along with Dr. Cummings who had been called in and Aphrealle were gathered in the snack bar at the bunker to help Marsha out.
"So what will you do now?" Linoka wondered.
"Soon as I can pack up what I can Ill head back to Jamal and Dionnes. It will include uniforms thats for sure," Marsha said. "At least her death was quick. I just wish it hadnt been during one of our battles."
"Its understandable Marsha but we just have to do our best to get over it," Aphrealle said.
"I know," Marsha said. "With Christmas next week the timing isnt real good. Aphrealle if you dont mind I think Ill skip the Christmas party."
"Let us know when you are done packing and we will teleport everything to the Kents," Professor Damon said as he walked in.
It took a good portion of the afternoon for Marsha, Amelia, and Andrea to pack Marshas things. Soon after that they teleported outside of the Kent house. Marsha simply walked in. AS they entered they could hear a news anchor.
"The War between the Zordonian Rangers and the Xeno Empire took a deadly turn today as a Monster struck down and killed a Colonial Heights woman today during a battle in Colonial Falls," the news anchor explained.
"Could someone turn the stupid news off Id rather not hear it," Marsha snapped.
"I see your back," Jamal said. "What happened during the battle."
"It was my mother that was killed," Marsha said. "My adoptive mother that is."
"Oh," Jamal said. "Dionne is working on cooking dinner. You want me to set a few extra places at the table?"
"Definitely set a place for me, Amelia, you and Andrea want to stick around?" Marsha asked her friends.
"There is no way Im letting you out of sight my mothers orders backed up by Professor Damon," Amelia said.
Marsha then went to say hi once again to her birth mother as Amelia and Andrea brought Marshas things in.
"If you ask me Lord Xenon has gone too far this time," Dionne said over dinner. "If you ask me someone should go over to his ship arrest him and send his you know what off to Titus III."
"Who knows Mrs. Kent it could come to that," Andrea said. "Of course we dont know that The Monster was acting on Lord Xenons orders when he did what he did."
"I know," Dionne said.
That night Jamal showed Amelia and Andrea to a guest room while Dionne sat down with Marsha in Marshas bedroom.
"Dionne, I feel Im luckier then a lot of kids in my shoes since I at least had here I could come," Marsha said.
"As you know you are welcome to stay here whenever you want," Dionne said.
"It will be a challenge but Im going to finish off this month at Colonial Heights then transfer to the High School here after New Years," Marsha said. "Dionne, trust me you will see a lot of me when Im not in school or in battle."
"That explains your intent to transfer to the High School here. I take it you will be remaining a ranger," Dionne said.
"That I will," Marsha said.
The next morning Dr. Cummings called to inform Amelia and the others that Prof. Damon and Aphrealle had decided to cancel the Rangertech Christmas Party. In part due to the events of the day before Prof. Damon had excused all the rangers from school the rest of the month not that there was much left only a couple days.
It was soon Christmas Day and Marsha was up early.
Mom, it so strange that you are gone from my life. Oh well Dionne and Jamal havent screamed about my moving into their house. In fact I think Dionne is highly supportive of my decision. Amelia and Andrea have been staying here as well but they left last night so they could spend Christmas with their own family minus Alexis of course. Oh well Rimyards are celebrating without Tara since both are on a mission to Earth. One thing is for sure someday we will be together again.
A couple hours later Marsha was sitting by the Christmas Tree with her family.
"Gang, I just want to say this. For the first time since Jasmine was a baby it seems nice to have the family together in its entirety," Jamal said.
"Well family is the best thing you can have Jamal," Marsha said. "If it wasnt for the five of you who knows where I would be right now."
"I certainly didnt figure after I left you in the care of the Whites that one day years later I would be sitting with you around the Christmas Tree," Dionne said.
"Mom and I always had fun on Christmas just the two of us. Some years Tyrone and his dad would join us since like my mom Tyrones dad was a widower. I know for a fact that my mom had made plans for Coughlins to join us this year," Marsha said.
Right then the doorbell chimed.
Jamal walked to the door.
"Its a ranger in a real fancy uniform and a civilian," Jamal said.
"Probably our Dress Uniform," Marsha said.
"Merry Christmas Mr. Kent," a familiar voice said. "Im Jake Coughlin, I think you are acquainted with my son."
"Yes I am Hello Tyrone," Jamal said. Everyone is around the Tree."
Soon as Coughlins walked in Jasmine walked over and Tyrone worked his best to lift her up. Marsha really enjoyed the day of joy to try to lift the sorrow in her life she had suffered since her mom died.
Closing Notes. There will be another fanfic on Capsilon IX before everything is brought back together.
