It's a regular day so far. Bella is sitting on a chair in the kitchen. She was watching Dillon work on his car. Scott was checking under the hood of his car. Music was blasting out of his car. Bella saw Dillon get in his car and turn it on. The engine was loud. Then Scott closed his hood and lean on the door of the driver seat.

"Yo Dillon! What do you got under the hood of that heap? Six? Eight?" Scott asked, trying to annoy Dillon. But it didn't affect him.

"Twelve and then some." Dillon said. Scott laughed and shook his head. He looked at Dillon.

"Ever hear the expression 'too much of a good thing?'" Scott asked.

"Oh no." Bella knew where this was headed. Dillon turned on his engine louder and fire came out for a short moment.

"Heard of it. Don't buy it." Dillon said.

"You want a good thing? Listen to this music." Scott said. He turned on his engine. To Bella, she thought it wasn't that powerful.

"Four-banger all the way. Computer chip, nitrous injection. What can I say? I like to live dangerously." Scott said. Bella laughed.

"Please. Dillon lives more dangerously than you." Bella said to herself.

"Explains your hair." Dillon said. Bella laughed again.

"Hey, Bella, which car do you prefer?" Scott asked.

"Do you even have to ask? Obviously, Dillon's car. It's more my style." Bella said.

"Hah!" Dillon yelled to Scott. Bella smiled. She enjoyed seeing Dillon happy.

"Guys!" That was Summer. Bella looked up and saw Summer on the second floor. Dillon and Scott lowered their engines.

"You want to try to make a bit more noise left? I still got some hearing left in one ear." Summer said as she pointed to her right ear.

"Just trying to make a point." Scott said.

"Keep trying." Dillon said.

"Yeah, well, if you weren't beating your chest so loudly, you might have heard Dr. K trying to page Dillon over the com." Summer said.

"Ranger Series Black, please report to the ranger room." They all heard Dr. K say on the com.

"I think I'm gonna go with you. I got nothing better to do." Bella said.

"Knock yourself out." Dillon said. He turned off his car and got out of his car. Bella and Dillon walked to the ranger room.

"Bella, I didn't call you here." Dr. K said.

"I'm bored. Thought this would interest me." Bella said.

"You can stay as long as you don't interrupt. Ranger Operator Series Black, if you will, morph." Dr. K said. Bella rolled her eyes. Why couldn't Dr. K call everyone their own names? Bella sat down on a chair and was watching what Dr. K will ask Dillon to do.

"Ranger Operator Series Black." Dr. K said.

"Just call me Dillon." Dillon said as he walked to the middle of the room.

"I prefer to keep our relationship as impersonal as possible." Dr. K said.

"Really? 'Cause I pegged you for the warm and fuzzy type." Dillon said sarcastically.

"It's easier this way." Dr. K said.

"Easier for who?" Dillon asked.

"Guys, stop fighting. Just train." Bella said. Dr. K continued on talking about the things the black ranger can do.

"Your ability to drive the Series Black Zord Attack vehicle is needed to add firepower to the Megazord configurations." Dr. K said. Bella sighed in relief.

"If that thing has a steering wheel, I can drive it." Dillon said.

"In order to channel enough energy to power the zord, you must first master your suit's five second Invincibility-Shield Burst." Dr. K said.

"No offense, Doc, but how can I be sure the shield thing actually works?" Dillon asked.

"The Invincibility Shield works fine. If there is a problem, it's with you." Dr. K said.

"Me? I thought you didn't want to get personal." Dillon said.

"Dear lord." Bella hung her head.

"To achieve maximum power, you must have absolute faith that the shield will protect you. Any doubt will disrupt the flow of energy from the bio-field." Dr. K said.

"Absolute faith- got it." Dillon said.

"I swear if they fight again..." Bella mumbled to herself

"We must train you to expect attacks at any time from any place. You must be accustomed to placing yourself in the path of unspeakable danger. Shall we begin?" Dr. K asked. Dillon pushed a button on his morpher and his helmet appeared on his head.

"Hey, ready when you are." Dillon said. Then two big guns pointed to Dillon's back. Bella widened her eyes and went behind her chair.

"Dillon, behind you." Bella said. She knew she wasn't supposed to interrupt them, but there were guns pointing at Dillon. How else should she react? Dillon turned around and immediately backed away once he saw the guns.

"Whoa! Wait! Now, hold on just a..." Dillon tried to take cover, but the guns blasted him first. He hit the floor.

"Ugh. Come on." Dillon complained. They continued to train for a while more. Bella didn't like seeing Dillon get beat. She wanted to help him, but she couldn't get involved. Eventually, Dillon de-morphed.

"I'm out." Dillon said. Then he just left the room before anyone could say anything. Bella sighed.

"Oh Dillon." Bella thought. She left the ranger room and went to where everyone was, except Dillon. Summer and Ziggy were playing pool as Scott watched. Flynn is making repairs on Dillon's car.

"Hey, Bella." Summer said.

"Hey, Summer. Mind if I watch?" Bella asked.

"Not at all." Summer said. Bella watched them play pool with Scott, but her mind was once again on Dillon.

'I wonder where is Dillon? Maybe he's in his room.' Bella thought. She then focused on the pool table. Summer hit the white ball and a lot if the other numbered balls went in the holes.

"What are you, psychic or something?" Ziggy asked.

"Something." Summer said as she shrugged. Bella heard footsteps. She turned around to see Dillon walking by with Dr. K speaking on the coms.

"Ranger Series Black, you still owe me three minutes of shield-sequence training." Dr. K said.

"Bill me." Dillon said, not caring what Dr. K said. He went to the small refrigerator to get something to eat or drink. Instead, a gun came out in front of Dillon, similar to the one in the ranger room.

"You've got to be kidding." Dillon said.

"Shall we begin?" Dr. K said. Dillon didn't have time to respond or move away because the gun blasted him and he flew back onto a tire. He bounced off the tire and fell on his stomach with the tire falling on top of him.

"Dillon." Bella wasted no time in helping Dillon. She lifted the tire off his back and helped him sit up. As Bella helped him, the alarm went off, signaling that something is wrong in the city. Scott, Summer, Flynn, and Ziggy, went to a screen to see what was the problem.

"It's a perimeter breach through an air intake." Scott said.

"It must be a pretty small attack force. There's nothing big getting through there." Flynn said. Then the screen changed to show Colonel Truman, Scott's father.

"My forces have taken fire at the sector 9 power grid. We can't hold him off." The Colonel said. Bella helped Dillon stand so he could walk to the others.

"If Venjix takes out that grid, it could disrupt the entire southeastern hemisphere of the city shield." Dr. K said. The others went to their vehicles, except Ziggy, who rides with Flynn. Bella lets go of Dillon. He walked to his car by himself. Dillon was about to get in his car until Flynn stopped him.

"Uh, don't bother, mate. I just started changing the tires on that brute." Flynn said. Bella looked down to see tires on the floor around Dillon's car. Everyone else rode off, except for Scott.

"Hey, yo, you need a lift?" Scott asked. Dillon sighed and went to Scott's car.

"Why do I feel like I'm making a mistake?" Dillon asked. He got inside Scott's car. Then Scott got inside.

"Maybe cause you're afraid... you might learn something." Scott said. Bella heard that and rolled her eyes. Scott started the engine and drove off. Ava went to the ranger lab to listen to the fight. While Ava was listening, she heard that Dillon tried to activate his Invincibility Shield, but it failed.

"He doesn't have faith." Bella said to herself. Later, the team came back and went straight to the Ranger Lab. They were talking to Dr. K, not even realizing Bella was there.

'I should go.' Bella thought. She left the lab and went to the kitchen. Bella heard yelling from the Ranger Lab as she sat down on a stool. She felt completely useless. She couldn't fight by their side and she doesn't know how to work complicated technology like Dr. K does.

"Maybe it's better if I just leave. Not Corinth, just the garage. I only take up space here." Bella said in a low voice so no one could hear. She stood up and went to her room. Bella began packing her stuff. When she finished, Bella hid her bag under her bed. She didn't want anyone to find out what she was doing. Then the alarm went off.

"Another Venjix creation." Bella said. She left her room and went downstairs. Bella didn't know why she left her room, but didn't question herself. She saw the rangers, except Dillon, drive their vehicles towards the gate, but the gate suddenly closed, which caused them to stop their cars and get out.

"What happened?" Bella asked.

"We don't know." Scott said.

"The doors closed by themselves." Flynn said.

"I thought I saw something moving." Summer said.

"I know this is gonna sound silly, but I would swear I just saw a human- ahh- hand." Ziggy's voice got higher when a robot hand was giving him a wedgie. Everyone's eyes widened. Ziggy was on the tips of his toes.

"Oh, for the love of Odin's beard." Flynn said.

"Help me." Ziggy pleaded. Before anyone could do anything, the hand let go of Ziggy and Ziggy fell hard on the floor. The hand started to crawl away.

"Rangers, I'm picking up signs of an intruder." Dr. K said.

"Really, Doctor? You think?" Scott asked sarcastically. The rangers and Bella began to follow the hand to the pool table, but lost it. Summer, Flynn, and Ziggy grabbed a pool stick for defense.

"Ahh! It's in my shirt!" Scott suddenly yelled. He wiggled around as the hand was banging him on the pool table and rolling him around.

"Do something!" Scott said. The others grabbed their pool sticks and began whacking Scott, hoping to get the hand out.

"Not that! Not that!" Scott yelled. Bella heard a door open and turned around, looking up. Dillon came out of his room.

"You got to be kidding me." Dillon said. Instead of using the stairs, Dillon jumped off the second floor to the first without a flaw. Bella looked back at Scott, helplessly.

"Just turn around and wait! Just hold still!" Flynn yelled.

"Stop!" Scott yelled. They stopped whacking Scott and noticed that the hand was gone.

'Where is it?' Bella thought. Then Dillon tripped next to is car, where the fire came out. Bella assumed the hand tripped Dillon, and assumed right. She saw the hand get inside the car and she widened her eyes.

"Dillon, move!" Bella yelled. The hand turned on Dillon's car. Bella ran to Dillon and pushed him out of the way. The fire came out where Dillon would've been if Bella didn't save him. Bella looked straight into Dillon's eyes and vise versa. Bella was on top of Dillon. She quickly got off him and stood up.

"All I do is mess up." Bella thought. Scott got off the pool table. Everyone, except Dillon, morphed into their ranger suits while Bella stood on the sidelines again. The hand went in the pool table. Ziggy tried to get it, but it was going nowhere. Then Flynn used his weapon to blow the hand out of the table, and Scott watched it. Summer used her nitro sword as a pool stick to hit towards Ziggy. Ziggy his to where Dillon and Bella were. Dillon got up and tried to fight the hand as Bella moved out of the way. Unfortunately, the hand threw Dillon across the room to the others. Then the hand was facing Bella.

'Why is it looking at me like that?' Bella thought. In the blink of an eye, the hand threw itself at Bella and grabbed her throat. It began to squeeze, preventing any oxygen from entering her. Bella grabbed the hand, trying to pull it off.

"Bella!" Dillon yelled. Everyone else was also concerned for Bella's safety. She saw them worry for her.

'If I wasn't here, this wouldn't have happened.' Bella thought. With all her strength, Bella blasted the hand off of her throat with her light. She fell to her knees. Bella was coughing harshly and rubbing her throat gently. There was a faint red handprint. Dillon walked to her. Bella noticed the hand appear with something its holding.

"Guys, it has something." She said hoarsely. Her voice was getting hoarse because she was choked. Luckily, the others heard her and looked at the hand with a weapon.

"Oh no. It's got the laser torch!" Flynn yelled. Everyone took cover as the hand began firing at random. Bella hid behind a box. The hand changed its aim and was now shooting at the box Bella was behind.

'I really am just a pest. That's it. I'm leaving once this whole thing is over.' Bella thought. Then the box exploded and Bella flew a bit in front of the small fridge. She looked up and crossed her arms in front of her face to block the laser that was coming to her. Then Dillon, who morphed, came and protected her from the laser blast with the Invincibility Shield. Dillon helped Bella stand up. She moved to the side of the fridge.

"You ok?" Dillon asked. Bella nodded. Then Tenaya's voice echoed from the hand, which is her hand.

"Nice shield. But that was five seconds, Ranger Black. Your time is up." Tenaya said.

"So is yours. Right, Doc?" Dillon asked.

"Shall we begin?" Dr. K asked. Dillon opened the fridge and the same gun that shot Dillon came out. The gun aimed and fired at Tenaya's hand, which got destroyed as a result. Bella heard that the rangers were going outside to take care of the situation, but she didn't bother getting it in full detail. Then a hand landed on her shoulder. Thankfully, it was Dillon and not another hand of Tenaya.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Dillon asked. Bella nodded again.

"I'm fine. I promise. Thank you." Bella whispered. She wanted to conserve her voice. Dillon smiled under his helmet, but Bella couldn't see.

"Anywhere, anytime." Dillon said. He left to join his teammates. Bella stood there, thinking about what Dillon just said.

"'Anywhere, anytime.'" Bella repeated. She shook her head. Bella went upstairs to her room and grabbed her bag. She went back downstairs.

"Don't turn around. Don't turn around." Bella repeated to herself in her head.

"Turn around, Bella." Dr. K's voice spoke out. Bella stopped and, hesitantly, turned around. She looked at the Dr. K screen.

"Where are you going?" Dr. K asked.

"Anywhere but the garage. I'm a burden. I can't have the rangers worrying about me when they should be focused on saving the city. I'm a pest." Bella said.

"On the contrary, I believe you are the one that keeps the rangers together." Dr. K said.

"How?" Bella asked.

"You bring their hopes up even if they don't need it. You motivate them to keep fighting for the greater good. You are one who is always there for them, especially Ranger Black. I could keep going. I have a list." Dr. K said.

"Wait, why especially Dillon?" Bella asked.

"It doesn't matter. The point is, this ranger team would fall apart without you. They need you." Dr. K said.

"Do you really mean all that?" Bella asked.

"Yes, I do. Now, put your bag in your room before the rangers get back. They just finished defeating the Nosbot." Dr. K said. Bella smiled and turned to go to her room. She stopped at the foot of the stairs and looked at the Dr. K screen.

"Dr. K?" Bella called out.

"Yes?" Dr. K asked. Bella hesitated, and then realized there was no need for hesitation.

"Thank you." Bella said. She walked up to her room and put her bag next to her bed. She unzipped the bag so it would look like she wasn't leaving. Bella went back downstairs to the kitchen and grabbed a plastic water bottle. She drank some of it and sighed. Her voice was getting better. Bella went to the sink and grabbed a towel. She poured water on her hand and rubbed her neck. Bella dabbed her neck with the towel to dry. The handprint was disappearing. Then Bella turned around when she heard cars enter the garage. The rangers were exiting their vehicles and walked towards Bella. She put the towel away and walked towards them.

"Hey, guys. You're back early." Bella said.

"Of course. That one was weak." Ziggy said.

"Hey, you and Dillon fought the copters. The rest of us fought the mega sized robot." Scott said.

"Doesn't matter. You won, like you always do, and always will." Bella said. The others smiled.

"Group hug." Ziggy said. And that's what they did. Everyone was in a group hug, including Bella, who was smiling.

"I won't bring myself down anymore." Bella thought. The hug separated and they all went to Dr. K's screen.

"Dr. K, I, uh... I owe you an apology." Dillon said. Bella was proud of Dillon for admitting his mistakes.

"No, I owe all of you something." Dr. K said. Then the screen shut off. Everyone looked at each other, confused. Then the door to the Ranger Lab opened and everyone walked inside. They noticed another door open to a large capsule like container. They peeked inside and saw a chair in the middle of high tech computers and equipment surrounding the capsule.

"Whoa, I bet Dr. K worked in here." Bella said. Then a voice echoed.

"Hello, Rangers." Everyone turned around to see a young girl in a lab coat with a head set mic on her. She has the voice of Dr. K.

"I'm Dr. K." The girl said. Well that explains it. Everyone else stared at her.

"What?" Dr. K asked. She lowered her mic.

"You thought I'd be taller?" Dr. K's voice changed entirely. Now, she doesn't sound like a robot or computer screen. Bella never thought a girl this young could invent everything the rangers have. All Bella could do is smile. After all, Dr. K was the one who convinced her she was something. Bella was the first to speak out of the shocked rangers.

"Hello, Dr. K. It's nice to meet you."
