The Ghostest with the Mostest/Hard Handed Hannah
Bella's POV
I got changed out of my sweats, just as I heard Kendall shout. "Come on guys! The kids will be here soon, we have to hurry!" She informed the rest of us. We were all putting our costumes on so we could go to the Halloween party. I pulled the ghost costume that Chase made for me over my head and adjusted it so I could see. I smiled under the costume and hurried out of my room and down the hall to see Kendall and Chase. There were 5 other ghosts as well. It looks like we all have the same costumes. "Wait a second, you're a ghost too?" I heard Riley ask.
"I think we're all ghosts." Ivan's voice commented. I tugged the sheet up so the others could see where I was among our small army of ghosts.
"I like that we look same." Koda commented, I could hear the smile in his voice. He pulled the sheet up over his head as well. "Like tribe." Everyone else but one ghost pulled up their costumes and I knew that the ghost was Shelby from the process of elimination.
"Even under that fine costume, I can tell you're unhappy." Chase told her slightly pointedly, with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Chase! You made us all the same costume?" Shelby asked, slightly irritated after pulling her costume up so we could see her face.
"Yeah. I look so good in the first one, I figured I'd make 6 more." Chase answered, pulling his costume back over his head. He picked up a mirror and looked at himself in it. "Even under this sheet I look awesome." Shelby grumbled and snatched the mirror from his hands, glaring at the black ranger.
"So, you're dressing up as Cupid, Miss Morgan?" Riley asked, to clarify what we thought she was dressed as.
"Yup! It's in honor of the new Dino Cupid Charger." Kendall said, taking a dino charger out of the transmuter behind her.
"Ahh... What noble purpose does that serve, Miss Morgan?" Ivan asked.
"Once struck by a blast of this energy, an evil monster will fall in love with the first thing it sees." Kendall explained to us.
"Ohhh... so it'll quit fighting, you're a genius." I complimented Kendall and took the charger from her hand to pocket it. She smiled.
"Come on, we're going to be late to our own party." Tyler reminded us. We all pulled our costumes back over our heads and filed out, acting as ghosts. We left our energems, seeing that we weren't going to need them because we were going right above them.
Third Person's POV
The party was going well, with everyone mingling. Kendall walked around the party, with a smile plastered on her face. She was glad that the museum Halloween party was a success and everyone who attended was having fun. She saw a ghost, trying to hit the piñata. "You're getting close, Tyler." Kendall encouraged, thinking it was the red ranger under the costume. "It Koda, Kendall." Koda corrected her.
"Sorry Koda." She apologized and two more ghosts walked up to Kendall. "There are some great costumes here..." She trailed off, not knowing who were under the sheets.
"Tyyllleeerrrr!" Tyler responded, trying to sound ghost-like.
"And Bella." Bella offered, knowing that Kendall couldn't tell who was who under the identical costumes that all 7 of them had on. "Whoa, that costume is fantastic." Bella commented, seeing a costume of a monster as they walked past them. Unknown to all of them, it was Memorella who got into the party with no trouble because it was a costume party. The three parted ways and Bella went to go help Koda pull the blindfold off of his eyes so he could see again.
Everyone at the party was enjoying themselves, a lone ranger was in the cafe's kitchen to get a glass of water when Memorella approached the ranger.
"Why hello there ranger. Mind beam!" Memorella attacked the ranger without giving them much time to react. Memorella read the ranger's mind and copied all of the ranger's memories. The mind beam caused the ranger to go weak and drop the cup of water the ranger had in its hand. "Come with me ranger and bring all of your useful memories." Memorella said, leading the weakened ranger out of the kitchen by using the backdoor. Bella walked in just in time to see that Memorella was leading the ranger away and she quietly followed them out, to see what was happening and why her friend was leaving the party so early. As the monster led them away, Bella came to see Memorella meet up with Curio and a revived Duplicon. Bella instantly knew that she was one of Sledge's monsters if she was working with Curio and Duplicon. She accidentally stepped on a twig, causing it to snap loudly. 'Classic way to get caught.' Bella thought to herself. The three monsters and the now struggling ranger all looked towards her. Before Bella could really react, a vivix snuck up behind her and hit her hard on the head, causing Bella to become uncoordinated.
"Quick, Momorella!" Curio shouted at the third monster. Memorella attacked Bella with a mind beam as well to read her mind and copy the memories. The force of this attack made Bella lose consciousness.
"That was a close one, if that ranger got out of here with this one, Sledge would've incinerated all of us!" Duplicon exclaimed in relief. The 3 monsters arrived at a warehouse far from the museum with the two rangers.
"Tie those rangers up well. Duplicon, copy the vivix into that ranger so both the vivix and I will get into the rangers' base and steal all of their energems." Memorella commanded. Curio tied up an unconscious Bella to another chair and made sure that the first one was tied up securely. Memorella gave the vivix Bella's memories, and Duplicon duplicated both Memorella and the vivix into the correct ranger. The two monsters, now in the identities of the rangers, headed back to the party at the museum before anyone realized that there were two missing rangers.
With Kendall
Kendall walked into the cafe kitchen, after hearing her Dino com alert her of something. She pulled it out of her purse that went with her costume. "Alien DNA, detected here, at the party?" She asked herself as she read the alert. She glanced back. Anyone in a realistic enough costume could be an alien. "But this alert is from 20 minutes ago." Kendall realized when the alert was first sent to her dino com. She rushed out of the party and hurried back into base discreetly and went over to her computer to check the security footage for anything suspicious. She saw the footage of monsters leaving the museum. "That's Duplicon and Curio with another monster, and they've kidnaped a ranger." Kendall commented seeing a ranger leave that was bound by the monsters. After a few seconds, Kendall saw that a ranger snuck after them. "And another ranger tried saving them." She said, seeing the footage of the second ranger getting caught and then getting attacked by the monsters, both of the rangers being dragged away from the museum. She turned the footage off and sent a message to the rangers. "Rangers, I need you all down at base immediately." She told them all. At the party, a group of three rangers were gathered.
"Uh oh, sounds urgent." Shelby commented.
"We'd better head down there." Riley said.
"Rangers to the rescue." Tyler said in a ghost voice as all of the ghost rangers filed out of the party and down to base.
Kendall's POV
I heard the elevator doors open and all of the rangers filed in. I've got to figure out who are missing and find them as soon as possible. "Hey, we're here." Tyler said as the rest filed in. They all started to pull off their costumes as I started to count.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6? 7?" I counted off rangers, counting that all 7 were here. Where were our missing two?
"What's wrong, Miss Morgan?" Tyler asked as everyone's costumes came off for me to see that everyone was here.
"A little while ago, one of the rangers was kidnapped from the party." I told them, keeping out the fact there were actually two missing from the group. Maybe this way, I can figure out who the fake second ranger is. "But all of you are here, which must mean that one of you is a fake." I concluded, seeing them all shift worriedly. Not one sign of either of the fake rangers quite yet. I'm going to have to figure this one out.
Bella's POV
"There we go, snug as a bug in a rope?" I heard Curio's voice and I felt rope being tightened around my wrists. I blinked hard as I felt a dull pounding in my head from when I was hit in the head earlier.
"No matter what Curio, stay here and watch the rangers till I get back." I heard Duplicon's voice as well. I didn't move, knowing that I would have to wait until my friend and I were alone. I still don't have any idea who got kidnapped before I did. I just know it's one of my friends. There wasn't a way to know really, seeing that we both had a cloth tied over our costumes and over our mouths to keep us from talking.
"Get back from what?" Curio asked Duplicon. After a few seconds of silence, realization drew on Curio. "Hey! You're going trick-or-treating without me!" He accused him.
"Of course I'm not! Keep an eye on the prisoners." I heard Duplicon fumbled, clearly telling that he was lying. After a few seconds of more silence, Curio spoke up to himself.
"Duplicon get's to trick-or-treat, why not me?" He asked himself. To convince the monster that we were asleep, we both made snoring noises. "Perfect, the rangers are asleep. Now's my chance." Once he was out of the warehouse, whomever was trapped next to me started panicking slightly. But unfortunately for my friend, who was next to me, we were tied up pretty tight with no easy escape.
Kendall's POV
I walked up the cavern that housed the energems and started to put them into a safe case. "Since one of you is a clone, I'm going to hold onto the energems until we discover who it is." I informed them as I kept my story up, knowing I have to figure out the second fake. But if I can figure out who the first clone is, I may be able to figure out who the second one is if we can get the clone to talk.
"How do we figure out who's who?" Shelby asked.
"I'll ask you all a few questions that only the real rangers would know the answers to." I told them, walking up to a computer that I set up on a table. There was silence and Alexa spoke up.
"I'll go first." Bella said and she walked up to the computer where I was standing. I kept my confused look to myself, Bella's not really a forward type of person. She can't even tell Tyler how she felt about him. I kept up my story and started to ask the questions that I decided I would ask the yellow ranger.
"Okay, put your hand under the lie detector please." I told her and she sat down at the chair. "I programmed the machine to figure out whether you're fake or not." I slightly explained to her. She nodded and placed her hand on the lie detector. "Okay, how did you first bond to your energem?" I asked, knowing that only the team members knew how she got her energem.
"I was just an intern here, working under you, Miss Morgan." She started. "I had found my energem near the head of the brachiosaurus that we were digging up that day. I was going to ask you about it, but then we got busy with transferring the bones so they could be delivered back to the museum as soon as possible. Then that night, out of nowhere Fury and a good amount of vivix attacked us." Bella started to explain. "So the vivix started to let boulders and rocks roll in our direction hoping to get Chase and Koda, but then another intern got stuck under a rock and I rushed to help her. I tried to move the rock but I couldn't. I tried again after giving myself mental encouragement and the energem flooded strength into me and I was able to move the rock. After I made sure that the intern was okay, I pulled the glowing energem out of my pocket and it bonded to me, making Fury much more angier. Then Chase and Koda brought me here after we defeated Fury." She finished explaining. I smiled slightly and nodded, satisfied with her answer.
"Very good. Now, how did you all defeat Bones after the boys' courage was taken away?" I asked, keeping it general with the boys term, hopefully she'll mess up the answer.
"Well... Technically, Bones didn't take away Ivan's courage, he took Tyler's, Koda's, Chase's and Riley's." She corrected me. I nodded, knowing that she got it right and I wanted the rest of her answer. "And they got their courage back and started to take down the vivix while Shelby, Ivan and I took on Bones. We all traded chargers, Ivan gave Shelby and I both one of his Ptera chargers and we both gave him one of our respective chargers. Once we loaded them up, we all attacked Bones together and destroyed him. From there, Ivan's been a part of our team." She explained perfectly once more. Shelby and Ivan grinned at each other remembering the events of that day, only to have their smiles fall off of their faces when they thought that the other was a fake.
"Alright, computer is Bella real or a fake?" I asked.
"Bella is..." The computer's automated voice started as it was processing the information I gave it. "Real." The computer answered, a green check mark appearing on the screen. I forced a smile at the yellow ranger and passed her the yellow energem and she walked back towards the others. Something isn't right, but I can't put my finger on it.
"I'll go next, prove I'm not a fake." Riley declared and walked toward the machine as Bella clipped her energem onto her necklace. Riley sat down and put his hand under the machine. "Alright, Riley, when did you discover that Tyler and Shelby had energems." I asked him.
"Well, my scooter had broken down on the side of the road so I had stopped to fix it when Tyler and Shelby offered me a ride here to the museum. As we were on our way here, we saw a car that had crashed and a woman was asking for help. We stopped at the side of the road and went to go help them. The woman's husband was still stuck under the car. The 3 of us tried pushing the car off the man, but it wouldn't budge. We all tried again, and while we were helping them, apparently our energems gave us more strength and the car was pushed off of the man so fast that it flew into the air and exploded. Then we all realized that something was glowing in our pockets. When we all pulled out the objects, we realized that each one of us had an energem and we were all heading here to the dino museum. Then we came here and discovered that we were power rangers." Riley explained the story in perfect detail. Tyler and Shelby smiled, remembering the memory.
"Next question, how did we get rid of Smokescreen and Wrench's explosive?" I asked, needing to know if he knew all the answers.
"Well, it was fossil fun day and I found the bomb in the back of Tyler's jeep. Alexa helped me carry it so we could get it away from the park as fast as possible, but a magna beam hit the bomb causing it to grow 10 times its normal size. The 5 of us decided that we needed to evacuate the park. Once that was done, Chase called Tyler and Ivan. They flew in with the megazord, Tri-Stego Ptera formation, and they flew the bomb out to space and towards Sledge's ship. Which caused Sledge to get a taste of his own medicine." Riley finished answering, in perfect detail once more.
"A glorious day indeed." Ivan commented and he and Tyler high fived, the smiles also falling off of their faces afterwards when they realized that the other could be a fake ranger.
"That should be enough data. Computer, is Riley real or fake?" I asked.
"Riley is... Real." The computer answered and I smiled. I passed Riley back his green energem.
"You may have your energem back." I told him and he thanked me. I turned back to the rest of the remaining rangers. "Koda." I called, knowing that the rest of them wouldn't come forth voluntarily.
"My turn?" He asked, pointing to himself. I nodded and he walked over to the computer and sat down as he put his hand under the lie detector.
"How did you and Peter get out of the cave when you were both captured by Slammer?" I asked him.
"Oh, Peter, very smart boy. I get out with hole in cage when cage land on bike. In cave, I carry Peter out. Because of his GPS and my instinct we escaped." Koda answered, perfectly. I smiled. "Is that right, Miss Morgan?"
"Computer, is Koda real or fake?" I asked and the computer began processing Koda's answer.
"Koda is... Real." The computer answered after showing the green arrow on the screen. He stood up with a smile and I gave Koda the blue energem back.
"Thank you Miss Morgan." Koda thanked me and my smile fell a bit. That's the second time he called me Miss. Morgan. Maybe he said it without realizing that he always calls me Kendall.
Bella's POV
It's been a little while since Curio left us here in the warehouse that they bind us in. My friend was still tugging on the ropes behind them, but it was proven difficult for them because they were in an office chair that had wheels on it and their hands were somewhat tied to the back of the chair. Their ankles were tied together, but not to the chair and it still made moving a bit difficult for them to move. My hands were tied behind my back and my ankles were tied to the wooden chair that I was forced into. I've been trying to tug the ropes from my ankles to at least loosen it. I had an idea, and it was a stupid idea. It's probably going to get me hurt or not work at all, I guess it's all trial and error as the two of us try to escape our restrictions and go back to warn the others about the fakes.
Kendall's POV
"Ok, Tyler. It's your turn." I instructed, calling over the next ranger. He took a seat at the computer. "Alright, where did you first meet Chase?" I asked him. Tyler glanced at Chase, a small smile plastered on his face.
"Chase, I don't even know if you remember this, but when I first came to the museum and met Chase was before I got my energem. I had come here to get more information about the T-Rex fossil and where it was found because my dad went on that exhibition and I was tracking down leads to try and retrace his steps. But I couldn't figure out where the Sampson caves were." Tyler started. "I had stopped Chase as he was walking by to ask about it. He didn't know the answer to the question so he called someone on the museum walkie talkie to answer the question and now I know that it was Bella on the other side of that line." Tyler finished up. "So I guess, if it wasn't for Chase and Bella, I never would've found my energem." I glanced back and saw Chase and Bella grinning at Tyler's last comment.
"How'd you know to call your T-Rex zord when you meet it for the first time?" I asked a trick question, because I needed to figure out who the fake was and fast. Tyler paused for a second, recollecting his thoughts. "That's a trick question, I didn't call it. Rexy just showed up." Tyler answered with a slight smug look on his face.
"Very good." I complimented, impressed that he caught it. "Computer, is Tyler real or a fake?"
"Tyler is... real." The computer answered and I smiled and picked up the red energem from the case I had put it in. I passed it to Tyler.
"Chase." I said, motioning to the black ranger.
"Here I come Miss. Morgan." He said and sat down and put his hand under the lie detector. As soon as his hand touched the surface, he retracted his hand while making a noise of pain.
"Ah!" He grunted and shook his hand. The others got into a fighting stance and I turned around to face him and Chase only grinned at me. "Just kidding." He replied and the others relaxed a bit as Chase put his hand back under the lie detector. "He's real." Shelby commented jokingly on his prankster nature. There were soft chuckles behind me as they sat back down.
"How did we defeat giant clone Fury and giant Duplicon?" I asked, walking around him to try and seem more intimidating and hopefully mentioning Duplicon might get the fake to tense up, considering that the revived monster was involved in this whole situation. Chase's face fell a bit and Koda passed gas. The others groaned in annoyance and disgust and I glared at the blue ranger.
"Don't give him any hints." I scolded and Koda only smiled shamefully.
"Oh yeah! You and Bella had created a dino gas charger. After you had suggested it, Lex gave it to Tyler and he loaded it into our megazord. The gas charger then had the rank gasses of the dinosaurs come out and distract both giant Duplicon and giant Fury and we were able to defeat them." Chase explained. "That fart was a stroke of evil genius Bella and Kendall." Bella grinned when I glanced at her and I set my tablet down on the table.
"Thank you." I told him and leaned down a bit to look more intimidating, annoyed that he called me Kendall. "And it's Miss Morgan." I corrected him. Chase held up his free hand in surrender. "Computer, is Chase real or a fake."
"Chase is... Real." The computer replied and I sighed quietly as I picked up the black energem and handed it to Chase.
"The black energem is in safe hands." He comments as he walks back to the group.
"So it looks like one of us is a fake, my lady." Ivan commented to Shelby, who shifted nervously in her chair.
Bella's POV
'Oh man, this is gonna really hurt.' I thought to myself as the idea furthered in my mind. I really wanted it to be my last resort but I couldn't think of any other way that I would be able to free myself a bit more, well at least get the ropes off of my ankles. That way I could free my friend's legs and we could start heading towards the base. I tugged the rope around my ankles with a small but harsh kick.
The rope around my ankles loose just enough that I could stand up. My friend looked over at me, probably wondering what I was doing. We seriously needed to get back to base as soon as possible so the others knew that there were fake rangers trying to steal our energems. Seeing that there was a big pile of sheets and flattened cardboard boxes, not far from where we were tied up.
I wobbled over to it, very awkwardly, and found a small crate I needed to use as a boost. I nudged it into place and I carefully stood up on top of the crate. Man... This stuff looks so cool in the movies now I'm actually going to do it and probably hurt myself in 30 different ways. I took a deep breath and did a fast front flip off of the crate and onto the pile of sheets and boxes, making myself land on my back. The wooden chair shattered under my weight and force of me hitting the pile of sheets and boxes.
I let out a groan of pain that came out muffled because of my ghost costume, that is starting to become really annoying. I sighed and forced myself back up to my feet, having a slight moment of dizziness as I got somewhat steady on my feet. The ropes now were loose enough around my ankles so I could shake them off. I made my way back towards my friend and plopped myself down at their legs.
I used my hands, which remained tied behind my back, to mess with the ropes to loosen them. Once, they were loose enough, my friend tugged their legs out from the ropes and stood from their chair and nudged me with their legs. I groaned and leaned my body on theirs to force myself up onto my feet. We ran out of the warehouse and realized that we were near the docks and that's a good 10 minute run, but it may take longer because of our costumes. We ran through the streets of Amber Beach, taking a few shortcuts through the woods so we could get to the museum as fast as we could.
Kendall's POV
I called Shelby to take her spot because it was her turn to take the test. She nervously sat down. I was nervous too, but I have a gut feeling that I might have missed something. I knew I needed to find two fakes, but I had to make sure that Shelby and Ivan were both real or fake. Then, I knew I would have to reveal that there were 2 fakes and we needed a way to figure out who the second fake was. I walked around Shelby and she tapped her fist lightly against the surface of the table. "Nervous?" I asked, leaning down.
"Can we just get this over with, please?" She asked. I straightened up and sent a slight apologetic look at Bella, knowing that this might reveal her crush on Tyler.
"Why did Bella suddenly decide to be the Princess of Zandar?" I asked and saw that Bella didn't shift at all, when I was hinting at her crush. Weird. Shelby's mouth fell open a bit.
"Because she loves princesses." Shelby stuttered the answer and the others glanced at each other, knowing that was not the reason why.
"That not how I remember it." Koda spoke up, standing up. "Shelby and Bella do not like princess." Koda answered, clearing the air. The boys nodded along with his statement and Tyler looked at Bella, expecting the real answer. Bella continues to look down at her shoes, avoiding eye contact with everyone. Again weird, she looks like she's zoning out. My eyebrows furrowed together and I turned back to Shelby.
"Fine. She wanted to get the Ptera charger back from Fury." Shelby half answered the question, not giving me the full answer I was looking for.
"Computer, is Shelby real or fake?" I asked, cutting the questioning off getting slightly impatient.
"Shelby is... lying. Fake." The computer answered a red x mark showing up on the screen. The other rangers stood up quickly and Shelby did as well.
"It's not me, I swear." Shelby answered, putting up her hands in surrender.
"I knew you looked suspicious." Ivan commented on Shelby's fidgety behavior.
"What did you do with the real Shelby?" Tyler asked. "Tell us." He demanded.
"What we do with monster Miss Morgan?" Koda asked. The words took a second to process in my head before Bella spoke up.
"Yeah, how are we going to get rid of its memory Miss Morgan?" Bella asked about the monster knowing our base location. My head snapped towards the blue and yellow rangers. I turned back to Shelby and picked up the pink energem and walked towards Shelby.
"I believe you Shelby." I stated and gave her the pink energem. Everyone looked at me confused. "She's not the monster." I spoke up. "Neither is Ivan." I said and gave the gold energem back to the gold ranger. They all looked at me even more confused and before I could come clean with the fact that there were two missing rangers and two different monsters here in base, a noise came from the base entrance.
Bella's POV
My friend and I finally arrived at the loading dock and we took a few seconds of breathing hard and my friend stumbled up the crate, with me following. They landed in the mouth of the T-Rex and I turned my body a bit so my tied up hands could twist the tooth that opened up the slide down to base. Using the elevator would have been too difficult because we had to push the buttons to make our way down to base and make sure no one found the elevator. I managed to get a pretty good grip on the tooth and my friend slid down, not so gracefully. I tried climbing up as well, but I tripped over my costume and a muffled shriek left my mouth as I rolled down the slide and down to base. I hit the ground and groaned again. I felt 3 pairs of hands hoist my body up and untie my hands, gag and pull the ghost costume off of my head.
"Koda? Bella?" I heard Tyler ask as I blew the pieces of my hair that fell into my face to get them out of my sight. I realized that Koda was the one who got captured before I did.
"That's not us." I started, pointing at a fake Bella and a fake Koda who were in the base with our energems around their necks.
"Yes, we us." Koda confirmed as the two of us glared at the imposters. "Wait, they were two fakes? Kendall, I mean, Miss Morgan, why didn't you tell us?" Chase asked, correcting himself after he saw the slightly pointed look Kendall gave him.
"Well, if I told you all, the two fakes would've been extra careful when I asked them questions, I needed one to mess up." Kendall answered.
"So they are the fakes!" Ivan exclaimed.
"How'd you know?" Shelby asked Kendall as we walked up to the two fakes to face them and get our energems back.
"They both called me Miss Morgan a few times, Bella and Koda always call me Kendall." Kendall replied, I smiled slightly, glad to know that Kendall has us figured out. Koda jumped above the table with a computer on it and I walked around it. We were both glaring hard at the two fakes.
"Give us our energems." Koda demanded and the fake Koda and fake me took their fighting stances.
"Try and take them." Fake Bella sneered at us. I glared at her, taking my fighting stance as well.
"We as much K-Koda and B-Bella as you are." Fake Koda said.
"Only the real Koda and Bella can stop this." I claimed, feeling a bit weird talking in third person. Fake Bella lunged at me and I jumped up, avoiding the attack but I managed to lock my knee around the back of Fake Bella's neck and flip to knock Fake Bella down to the ground very hard. Purple smoke surrounded Fake Koda and Fake Bella as they hit each other and dropped the energems. Fake Koda turned into Memorella and Fake Bella turned into a vivix. The vivix disintegrated from the blow I delivered to it but Memorella turned into a bat and escaped, flying up the slide entrance.
"Let us hurry friends, she knows the location of our base. We must catch a bat." Ivan said and the others headed towards the elevator to head up as Koda and I regathered ourselves.
"Bye." Koda greeted Kendall and grabbed his energem off of the ground and followed the others out. I bent down to pick up my energem off of the ground and I gave Kendall a quick hug.
"Nice job Kendall. I owe you one." She shook her head at me, smiling, and I ran after the others to go fight Memorella before she got to Sledge. We ran after Memorella as she sprinted rather quickly away from us.
"There she is!" Riley pointed out her figure before she could disappear around the corner.
"It's morphin time!" Koda and I shouted together, leading us into our morph into our battle modes.
"Dinosaur might, ready to fight!" We all said together after we rounded the corner to face Memorella.
"Power rangers..." Tyler started.
"Dino charge!" We finished together and we took our final stances.
"Vivix, attack!" Memorella told the vivix. They all charged at us and I flipped over an axe and shot it down with a power blast from my dino morpher blaster. Tyler took over to take down the band of vivix that were near me as Ivan approached me.
"I have an idea, use the dino cupid charger that Miss Morgan created." Ivan told me and I nodded, agreeing with him. "Good thinking Ivan." I complimented him and I pulled out the Dino cupid charger. I pushed the button on top of the charger to activate it. I loaded it up into my dino morpher blaster.
Dino Cupid Charger Engaged
I spun the barrel on my dino morpher blaster and it produced pale pink sparks. "Dino morpher, love blast!" I summoned the attack and shot all of the vivix with the rapid fire of pink lasers. A small pale pink heart formed over all of the vivix as they were stunned for a few seconds.
"What on earth was that?" Memorella asked. The vivix looked up at me and I ducked down quickly as Ivan held up a mirror at the perfect angle to show Memorella's reflection in it. She was the first thing these vivix saw to make them fall in love with her.
"Give her a hug vivix." Ivan suggested and they all turned towards Memorella and tackled her into a hug, knocking her over to the ground with the pile of vivix on top of her. I turned to Ivan and took the mirror from his hands.
"Finish her Ivan." I told him.
"It will be my pleasure." Ivan said and summoned his Ptera saber.
Ptera Charger Engaged
Ivan swung his Ptera saber as it glowed gold when it powered up. "Lightning, final strike!" He attacked the group of monsters. They all exploded, effectively destroying them all in one go. A magna-beam fell down from the sky where Memorella exploded. She was revived just as quickly as she was destroyed.
"Now I'll steal bigger memories!" She threatened us.
"I can handle this, summon Ptera zord!" Ivan summoned his zord.
Ptera Charger Engaged
Ptera Zord Ready
The Ptera zord flew into our sight and transformed into the Ptera Charge Megazord. Ivan transported to the cockpit of his megazord as we watched as started to fight Memorella. Memorella was knocked down by Ivan and he spoke into our common link. "Tyler, summon the Pachy zord."
"You got it." Tyler said and pulled out a graphite charger. "Summon Pachy zord." He summoned the zord.
Patchy Charger Engaged
As soon as the zord came into view Tyler summoned a new megazord combination. "Activate Ptera Charge Megazord, Patchy formation." Tyler then teleported to the cockpit of the new Megazord with Ivan and the two of them used the new megazord to take down Memorella. She was destroyed quickly by the pair and they both demorphed to disassemble the megazord. The rest of us demorphed as well and we headed back to the cafe to clean up the mess left behind from the halloween party. The sun was starting to set just as we arrived at the museum and Kendall greeted us, back in her normal clothes and out of her costume. We all dispersed to start cleaning up. I pulled Shelby aside after Riley had filled Koda and I in on what happened while we were kidnapped.
"Shelby, Riley told me how you lied to keep my crush a secret." I told her, smiling. "Thanks for that." I told her knowing that she was risking being labeled as a fake earlier. Shelby gave me a smile.
"Hey, what kind of friend would I be if I did." Shelby asked rhetorically. I gave her a quick hug as we started to clean up again. I headed back to the kitchen with a tray of dirty plates and set them by the sink. I remembered that I should take the Cupid charger out of my dino morpher blaster to give back to Kendall to see if it needed to be recharged. I pulled my dino morpher blaster out only to find that the Cupid charger got stuck and won't come out of the loading barrel. I grumbled as I messed with my dino morpher blaster, trying to get the Cupid Charger out of my dino morpher blaster. I'm sure that the others wouldn't mind if they cleaned up while I took the charger out of my dino morpher blaster. The kitchen door creaked behind me, signalling to me that someone came in.
"Now that was some awesome teamwork." Tyler's voice reached my ears as I looked up from my dino morpher blaster. "With you and Ivan using the Cupid charger." He complimented me and a faint blush burned on my cheeks as I looked back down at my dino morpher blaster as I continued to try and get the stuck charger out of it. "Yeah, but I think it's jammed in my dino morpher blaster." I told him.
"Huh?" Tyler said and placed his hand over mine to try and help me get the charger out. My heart sped up. "So, what have you been wanting to tell me for the past few days?" Tyler asked, looking up at me, but keeping his hands on top of mine. "And why did Shelby lie earlier?" My mouth fell open slightly as it went dry, I was so not expecting this conversation so soon. Tyler lifted one of his hands from mine and the other still rested over my other hand. His free hand went to the side of my face to tuck a piece of stray hair behind my ear.
My cheeks heated up even more as he rested that hand on my shoulder, but I could feel his thumb lightly caressing my cheek.
"I uh..." I stuttered and pulled my other hand completely away from Tyler. While I was still trying to distract myself by messing with my dino morpher blaster, I accidentally hit Chase, who was talking to Ivan, with the pink beam from the Cupid charger. "Chase! Are you okay?" I asked frantically, Tyler pulled his hand away from my cheek, as Ivan approached both of us. The others had gathered behind me after hearing my frantic voice. "Sorry, so sorry." I apologized to the black ranger.
"Oh, was that the dino cupid charger?" Riley asked as we watched Chase, worriedly.
"Yeah it was." I answered.
"Wait, that means the first person that Chase sees, he's gonna fall in love with." Shelby reminded us. We all glanced at each other wide eyed and quickly ducked behind the counter, out of Chase's sight. We waited a few seconds before we heard Chase's voice.
"Hey, you are truly beautiful." Chase complimented someone and we looked at each other confused. We're pretty sure Chase didn't see any of us, so who is he talking to?
"Who did he see?" Ivan asked. We all shrugged to each other. We all slowly stood back up, ready to see who Chase had fallen in love with. We saw that Chase was holding a mirror up above himself and was checking himself out. It gave us the sense that he saw his own reflection in the mirror and fell in love with himself... even more than before at least.
"Great... Now he's even more in love with himself." Tyler commented, causing us to chuckle. We just managed to finish up at the cafe and drag Chase down to base and Kendall told us that Chase would be fine if he slept it off. Ivan and Koda started to drag Chase to bed and to pry the mirror from his hands. The others went to bed as well, while I watched Kendall get the Cupid charger out of my dino morpher blaster. We were the last two to be awake. Kendall headed to her apartment and I headed back to my room after I double checked the entrances and turned the lights off, the only light coming from the crystal caverns, the glow of all of our energems. I padded down the back hallway as I pulled my hair out from it's very messy ponytail.
My hair fell down my shoulders and I heard a bedroom door open just as I was about to open mine. I glanced back and saw that Tyler was standing in front of his bedroom door and smiling at me. I gave him a soft smile. "Are you going to keep avoiding me?" Tyler asked, leaning his body on the door frame. I bit my bottom lip.
"I'm not avoiding you." I answered quickly. Maybe a little too quickly, after seeing the grin on his face.
"You're avoiding a topic that I've been trying to bring up today." Tyler answered and walked out of his room further. "Come here." Tyler told me, swiftly pulling me into his room, not giving me much of a reaction time. He pulled me in and shut the bedroom door, after pulling me inside. He pinned me against his closed door, my back pressed against it. One of Tyler's arms was resting by my head and the other was in his pocket. "Alright just keep your eyes on the watch" Tyler said, giving me a smile then dropped a gold pocket watch in front of me and started swinging it in front of my eyes slowly and rhythmically. "That's right, follow its movement." Tyler what are you doing?" I tried to say as my eyes started following the watch. "That's it. Look deeper as it swings back and forth. Back and forth." "Listen to the sound of my voice as you feel yourself falling deeper and deeper under my spell."
I felt lightheaded and my mind started to drift. I wasn't sure where I was anymore. "When I snap my fingers you will open your eyes and tell me what you've wanted to tell me." Tyler whispered, then snapped his fingers. "I... um...." I started, my heart racing. "It's just that... I... uh... really like you. Like more than a friend." I finished quickly, squeezing my eyes shut. A few seconds of agonizing silence, I decided to look up at Tyler, who hasn't moved from his position. I took a shaky breath. "It's okay, if you don't like me back, we don't have to make this akw-" I started to say quickly, doubt clouding my mind, but my words were cut off by Tyler pecking me on the lips, very quickly. My face heated up to a blush as my stomach fluttered from the small kiss.
"I like you too, a lot Bella." He told me, his face just as equally as red. "I never thought that you would've liked me back." He replied. I smiled up at him.
"Really? The others said that I couldn't get any more obvious with it." I told him. He smiled bashfully.
"I guess I was a little oblivious about it." Tyler commented. "Hey, you want to go out on a date with me?" Tyler asked.
"I would love to, but when would we?" I asked. "There's a lot of distractions with saving the world and all." I lightly joked and he grinned.
"We'll figure it out." Tyler told me, lowering his hand to lace his fingers through with mine.
The next day I was at the fellowship of the sun church with Mom when a car parked in front of us. We got there as Sookie and a raven haired man got out of the car, "Hi, we just happened to be looking out the window as y'all were driving up, and thought we'd come and greet you personally. I'm Sarah Newlin and this, here, is Bella. And y'all are?"
"Hi, I'm Holly Simpson, and this is Rufus Dobson, my fiancé. I love saying that word. Sometimes I love it so much I don't ever want to get married, just so I can keep on calling him it. But we're going to... get married that is. That's why we're looking for a church!" I saw Sookie raise her eye brow at me and then smile. She winked, causing me to falter.
"Now, how about you all follow me in, and we'll see if Steve is available. I'm sure he'd just love to meet you both."
"For real? Reverend Newlin himself?" Sookie faked enthusiasm. "Oh, that would be just super."
"Well, come on!"
later
"You see the funny thing is, Rufus and I actually met in church." I knew I looked confused. I hope this woman knew where this story was going and wasn't going to blow her cover. "But we left after a few months when we realised the pastor was a... little iffy."
"He was a homosexual?" I wanted to whack my hand off my face so bad at that moment. What the hell are they even talking about?
"Well, we don't know he might have been that too, but what became too clear was that... he was... a sympathiser." Bravo, Sookie! Bring everything back to vampire hating and you got him in the palm of your hand.
Steve tutted, "You see that is just terrible. How can you claim to be a God-loving person and then love something that God detests?"
"It's upsetting," Sookie said with fake outrage. "It's ridiculous that's what it is." I said.
"It is. It is upsetting," Hugo agreed, taking Sookie's hand in his, "but that's why my fiancée and I are here. We wanna make this our new home."
"We are thrilled that you've chosen us," Sarah told him with a voice so high it couldn't have possibly been an honest answer.
"Wonder how that platform's coming. I can't wait to bring that vampire up from the basement and watch the sun do him the justice that 2000 years of living couldn't."
"It'll be amazing to finally be amongst like-minded people," Sookie said. "I don't care what anyone says about vampires being able to control themselves. I know better. I know that every single one of them is a vicious, bloodthirsty killer."
We got to the heart of the church at sundown, and the orange light invaded the room, blinding us as we came in. Hugo tried to cut it short by insisting they'd love to get married here, that it was the most beautiful place and that he couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. But Steve just wouldn't let go.
"Have any of you ever been to a lock-in?" he asked suddenly.
"A lock-in?" Sookie repeated, confused as to what it was.
"Of course she hasn't. She's no Christian," Steve thought.
"Oh, yeah, it's loads of fun," he said. "Everybody brings their sleeping bags and we eat, and have games, Bible readings..."
"Come on, Steve. Don't bring the girl into this. She's probably so scared. She doesn't wanna be doing this. Those vampires made her do it."
"They say they can hear me. I wonder if that fang-loving freakazoid can hear me right now. She sure don't look normal," he thought, with a big smile on his face.
Sookie swallowed. "That lock-in does sound like fun. Rufus, we gotta go get our sleeping bags."
"There'll be plenty of time to get ready. The lock-in is not until tomorrow night," Steve told them.
"You wanted to see me?" Gabe asked as he showed up behind Steve.
"Oh, good. Holly, Rufus, I'd like you to meet an aide of mine. This is Gabe."
"Pleased to meet you," the man said with a smile that was supposed the be friendly, but there was nothing friendly about this man, Sookie just knew it.
"Nice, very nice. She's got just the perfect amount of titties showing," Gabe thought as he looked at her.
"This isn't a good idea, come on Steve, let her go," Sarah thought, her smile vanished from her face.
"Now, I'd like to take y'all to see a very special part of the church," Steve said. "Come on." 'Oh boy.' I thought.
They followed them back to the hall and turned left, towards a narrow hallway.
"My father's tomb is on the lower level."
"Honey, are you sure?" Sarah asked, her nervousness and doubt obvious in her trembling voice.
"Absolutely, darling!" 'What the hell was he going to do? Kidnap them? How barbaric! I'm going to have to call the cops on my own dad! Great(!)' I thought.
Everything happened very fast. Steve seized Sookie who shouted for him to get off her, Gabe pushed Hugo towards the stairs. He then grabbed me and threw me down there as well and I passed out.
