The next morning, after returning to the Sakamaki mansion, Bella was woken up by the most irritating noise... Yui whining. then after about 10 minutes of trying to get back to sleep and failing, she decided to get up when someone knocked the door.

"Come in," Bella yelled.

The door then slowly creaked open and Reiji came into her room.

"Good morning Bella, How was your sleep?" Reiji politely asked.

"Excellent, except for my alarm clock aka Yui that woke me up. It was a very irritating noise to be woken up to." Bella explained while observing the butler-styled male in front of her.

"I see," He lowly replies, " I'll have to punish her. I am also deeply sorry for disturbing your morning. However, I'm afraid that it is necessary. I have brought the uniform that I need you to put on for school in two hours. Now, I'm about to start breakfast so please come down in about an hour."

"Perfect, thank you for your amazing hospitality," Bella replied as she started to get up and get dressed. She had a black jacket, a white t-shirt, a black skirt, white leggings, and black high heel sock boots.

Yui then came running down the stairs apologizing being late, Reiji lectured her while Bella went in the limo with the others, she sat next to Subaru and Shu.

Not long after, Yui and Reiji came in, Reiji sat next to Subaru while Yui sat next to Ayato.

Bella put some music on and started singing.

I'm not a machine

Looking around, everything I see

It seems to lose its color

Don't know what's become of me

Barely alive, how did I survive

One day just like the other

I'm sick of this routine

So I'm gonna cut these strings

Cut them and set me free

Nothing controlling me

I'm not a machine, I'm not a machine

I've got the breath in me

I'm not a machine, I'm not a machine

I'm not a machine, I'm not a machine

My body is here but somewhere along the way

I lost my mind

It's never too late to be found

Waiting on someone to pick me up

But I got left behind

But it won't bring me down

Cause I'm gonna cut these strings

Cut them and set me free

Nothing controlling me

I'm not a machine, I'm not a machine

I've got the breath in me

I'm not a machine, I'm not a machine

I'm not a machine, I'm not a machine

Change the circumstance

It's gonna take me

Here is my memory

Reset the way you think

No more commands

No demands

No more losing control

No pushing buttons

No automatic no more

Let me go

Let me go

Let me go

No pushing buttons, no automatic

I'm not a machine, I'm not a machine

I've got the breath in me

I'm not a machine, I'm not a machine

The brothers applauded Bella but Yui didn't.

"How dare you use your filthy mouth to sing such disgusting music?" Yui asked.

"Clearly you know nothing about me or about music and you never will." Bella sighed.

Reiji then give Yui and Bella some juice, Yui thanked him while Bella placed it in her bag, Yui glared at her. "Hey Bella, say thank you."

"Why should I? This juice is like a 'do not die just yet and continue to supply me with blood' kinda message." Bella said.

When they got to the school Bella heard a bunch of girls screaming. Having not expected this she was surprised. 'Were these boys famous and I didn't realize it? I don't believe so, although, I have been quite distracted lately trying to get used to my surroundings... No! If they were famous I would have noticed.' Bella thought. they then get out and all Bella can hear is,

"Be my boyfriend!"

"Let's get married!"

"Have my babies!"

'Oh my gosh, these girls are insane! Do they have no dignity!?' Bella thought when all of a sudden it gets really quiet and a whole new set of questions start first with Yui for she is the first person out of the limo.

"Why is SHE with THEM? They are so high above her level!"

"OMG! who is that ugly flatbread lady in front of them!"

"She would never be able to provide them with what I can!"

Then it is Bella's turn to get out. She starts feeling panicky because she was almost certain that they will treat her as bad as Yui or maybe even worse... She slowly get out and hear...

"OMG! She is gorgeous! Is she a model?!"

"I'm so jealous of her figure, especially her chest..."

"She looks so calm and angel-like!"

After having her confidence boosted a little Bella went to Reiji and asked for her schedule. "Hey, Reiji, do you have my schedule?"

"Yes, yes I do. You have Baking with Laito and Kanato first. Than Music with me and Shu. And to finish it off for today, Gym with Subaru and Ayato. Do you understand?" He asked with a slight smile.

"Yes, Thank you Reiji," Bella replied smiling. "Laito and Kanato, would you boys be able to escort me?"

"Of course my fair lady," Laito replied

"Only if you make teddy and me some treats..." Kanato replied as well.

With that, they started walking towards what Bella guessed was the Kitchen in the school. Luckily they got there just as the bell rang. They found a station and put their things down and looked towards the teacher for instructions.

"Hello, class! today in order for me to fully examine your skill level I need all of you to bake a dish. I will evaluate you at the end of the class before you leave and let you know your score out of 10. Now, get to work!" The teacher fully exclaimed. Next thing Bella knew everyone started jumping into action wondering what to bake and planning. Luckily for Bella, she's been working on some ideas before she even came to the school.

"What are we making?" Laito asked.

"What do you want?" Bella asked.

"Hm...I don't have a preference... maybe takoyaki? Ayato kept bugging me on how delicious they were." Laito said.

"Ok" Bella said and started working.

~Time skip~

"Here Laito, you taste it." Bella said giving Laito a full plate.

He took one, he stared at it for a moment then ate it, his eyes widened.

"Hoy Laito! You tasted takoyaki made by cupcake? Pancake made some earlier here try it" Ayato said giving him a piece.

"Tsk! Bella's one is better, my first takoyaki and the best I've ever tasted, lucky me!" Laito then gave Ayato some takoyaki.

Ayato instantly ate it, Reiji ate one as well, their eyes both widened "Be..." Ayato said.

"Be?" Laito asked.

"BEST TAKOYAKI EVER!" Ayato said.

"...truly amazing" Reiji said.

"Oh please! Her cooking is great?! That sinful girl cannot beat the all great Yui Komori!" Yui said.

The brothers glared at her.

"The takoyaki you made can't be compared to melons!" Ayato said.

"That's right! Yours is nothing compared to Bella's!" Laito said.

"What?! That's impossible! She must have placed some kind of potion there!" Yui said.

"I watched and helped her cook! She can't have!" Laito said.

"B-but that sinful person can't be greater than me!" She then pointed at her "Why did father have to adopt you?! You're sinful!"

Bella sighed "I didn't do anything to you, I kept quite the whole time I stayed in the church, why are you mad?" She asked.

"Because you and your family killed a man and destroyed his workplace!" Yui shouted.

"We saved the world. If we hadn't, Skynet would've destroyed the whole planet!" Bella snapped and left.

Bella later watched as the rangers left the garage to fight Venjix intruders. Scott went with Ziggy to a playground that had Grinders. Dillon, Flynn, and Summer went somewhere else invaded with Grinders. She then returned to the Ranger Lab to listen in on the fight. It may be lonely since Dr. K had to focus on the rangers and their movements, but it was worth it to see the rangers moving towards victory and the defeat of Venjix. She is still wearing her school uniform. Bella then noticed a screen to see five colorful columns appear.

"Looks like they morphed." Bella said.

"Locking onto Attack Bot. Sending coordinates." Dr. K said as she sent the location of the Attack Bot. The rangers regrouped, but no Attack Bot was found.

"This can't be right. The coordinates are right where we're standing." Flynn said.

"Have you ever considered checking underground?" Bella asked.

"Bella is correct. The coordinates are accurate. The Venjix Attack Bot is traveling north in a subterranean mining tunnel 28 meters below your current location." Dr. K said.

"Doc K, down-morph the remote Croc Carrier Zord." Scott said. Dr. K was immediately on it.

"Down-morphing and launching of new remote zord initiated." Dr. K said. Bella could hear everything the rangers were saying and she could figure out what they were doing. Now, Ziggy pulled out the Croc Carrier disk to call the zord. Unfortunately, Ziggy yelled in pain.

"Ziggy!" Bella yelled, worried for him. Then she heard all the rangers yell in pain. The Croc Carrier shot out from right below the rangers.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Dillon asked.

"The zord went haywire." Bella said.

"Misfired zord will hit city electrical tower in 3, 2, 1, impact." Dr. K said. Bella could hear the faint sound of the tower collapsing outside from where she was standing.

"There are people over there." Bella said.

"Guys, we have to go back and help." Summer said. They all agreed, but Dr. K stopped them.

"Negative, Rangers. You will continue pursuit of escaping Attack Bot per my orders." Dr. K said.

"But Dr. K, there are lives at stake." Bella said. Dr. K chose to ignore her. After a moment of suspense, Bella sighed in relief. The rangers decided to go and help the civilians at the city electrical tower.

"Doc K, threat is neutralized." Scott said. Bella smiled, but Dr. K thought the opposite.

"Negative, Ranger Series Red. You've allowed the target to escape. And from the look of it, it may be the most dangerous Attack Bot Venjix has ever created." Dr. K said.

'Over exaggerate much?' Bella thought. She knew the rangers could handle anything that comes their way. After the rangers got back, Bella went to greet them.

"Dr. K might not think so, but you made the right decision to save those people." Bella said.

"But we also let that Attack Bot get away. And Dr. K said it's the most dangerous one we've faced." Scott said.

"If you would have let those people get hurt or worse, you would be no better than Venjix. Trust me. You made the right choice. And besides, you can beat this bot. I know it." Bella said

"Thanks, Bella." Scott said

"Anytime." Bella said. She noticed that Dillon was looking at her. She gave him a quick smile before going to the kitchen. Dillon smiled, but immediately lost it when he realized he was still around his teammates. Bella went to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle. She was about to take a sit, until Dr. K called the rangers for a meeting to discuss the Croc Carrier. She walked over with them. She noticed Ziggy sleeping on top of a bowl of cereal.

'Poor Ziggy.' Bella thought, trying not to laugh. Dr. K began speaking.

"The energy to size ratio makes it impossible to power the Croc Carrier without an independently operating bio-entity aboard." Dr. K said.

"Doc, you said the whole unmanned zord would work." Dillon said.

"Theoretically." Dr. K said.

"But you said we'd be near." Flynn said.

"We will." Dr. K said.

"Then how do you possibly expect us-?" Flynn was interrupted.

"Guys, don't ambush her." Bella said, looking at Flynn.

"If it really was impossible, do you think she would be telling you guys this?" Bella asked. She looked at Dr. K.

"It just won't be that easy to solve, but it can be done." Bella said.

"Correct. It will require a remote flux overthruster core reactor." Dr. K said.

"I'm not sure we can find this kind of technology in the city." Summer said.

"We're not gonna find one in the city, and we're not going to build one either." Dr. K said.

"But?" Bella asked. There was always another side of things.

"Look, Doc, the suspense is killing me here. Do you know where we can get one of those things or not?" Dillon asked.

"Nope." Dr. K said. She turned to Scott, who was staring at the screen with the overthruster.

"But he does." Dr. K said. Everyone was looking at him, but Bella was the only one to notice a sad look on his face.

"Scott? Is everything alright?" Bella asked.

"Yeah. I just need to talk to my father." Scott said. He took his car and drove out of the garage. Bella wasn't convinced that he was alright. She walked up to her room and picked up something from her bag. She tied the stings to a hoop in her pants and walked back downstairs.

"I'm gonna follow him. Just in case." Bella said.

"Good luck." Dillon said.

"Thanks. And will someone please help Ziggy?" Bella asked. Before anyone could respond, Bella left. She walked out of the garage and headed to the Control Tower. But she noticed Scott's car at the gates of the city. Changing her route, she walked towards the car. She saw Scott get out of his car and leave the city.

"What is he doing?" Bella asked herself. She secretly followed Scott out of the city. When they got a good few feet away from the city, Bella decided to make her presence known.

"So, the overthruster is out here?" Bella asked. Scott turned around so quick, he almost fell.

"Ava? What are you doing here?" Scott asked.

"I could ask you the same." Bella said.

"I'm here to get the overthruster." Scott said.

"If you knew it was here, why'd you have to talk to your father?" Bella asked. Scott looked away.

"It's complicated." Scott said.

"Then make it easy." Bella said. Scott looked back at her.

"My brother, Marcus, died trying to get people to safety. His plane had a flux overthruster. The plane crashed, now I'm trying to find it." Scott said.

"I'm sorry about your brother." Bella said.

"Thanks. Let's just look for the crash site. It's somewhere around here." Scott said. Bella and Scott walked a bit farther from the city. Bella looked around and noticed parts of a plane scattered in a single area.

"Is it over there?" Bella asked Scott.

"Yes, it is. Let's go." Scott said. They ran to the crash site.

"Start searching." Scott said. They each took a side. Bella was searching through the debris when she found a red letter that says 'Confidential.' It was under something that looked like a tiny missile or bomb.

"Scott, you know what this is?" Bella said, holding up the letter. Scott looked at the letter.

"Yeah, I do." Scott said. He came to Bella with the flux overthruster in his hand. Suddenly, they were being shot at. They looked around and found out that it was Grinders who were shooting at them. They were with an Attack Bot.

"Great. They found us." Bella said sarcastically.

"Take that bomb. We may need it." Scott said. Ava picked up the bomb and ran with Scott. They were running towards the city when they turned their head to make sure that there were no Grinders behind them. There wasn't any for a second, until two Grinders in motorbikes appeared, chasing them. They managed to avoid the Grinders and hid behind a small hill of machinery.

"As if this day can't get any worse." Bella said. Then Bella started to cough harshly.

"Ava, what's wrong?" Scott asked, worried for his friend.

"The toxic air is getting to me." Bella said. She untied the thing she brought with her and put it over her mouth. She tied the stings around her head and ears and stopped coughing.

"What is that thing?" Scott asked.

"Its a mask I invented to keep out any life-threatening gasses." Bella said.

"That looks cool." Scott said.

"Thanks, but no time to get distracted. Throw the bomb." Bella said.

"Right." Scott said. He attached something on top of the bomb and threw it at the Grinders. It exploded, taking the two Grinders with it.

"We gotta move. The city is close now." Bella said. She picked up the overthruster. They got up and started to run, but it wasn't far when they were being surrounded by laser blasts. They dropped to the ground and found themselves surrounded by Grinder pointing their guns at them.

'Oh no.' Bella thought. Then more laser blasts came, but aimed at the Grinders and left Scott and Bella unharmed. They looked in the direction the blasts came from. It came from Colonel Truman and his group of soldiers.

"Dad?" Scott couldn't believe it. Scott and Bella ran to the Jeep. They got on the back.

"Let's move! We'll never get the shield back up in time." Colonel Truman said as he put on his seatbelt. He looked at Hicks.

"What are you waiting for- a light to change?" Colonel Truman asked.

"No, sir!" Hick said. He drove towards the gates and got into the city. Bella took off her mask and tied it back on the hoop. When they turned around, they saw the Grinders and Attack Bot got through gates and inside the city.

"Ava, get this to Dr. K." Scott said.

"Be careful, Scott." Bella said. Scott nodded and turned to his father.

"Get Ava to Dr. K. I'll handle this." Scott said.

"This was reckless and dangerous. If Marcus were here-" Colonel Truman was comparing his sons again. Scott spoke before he could say anything else.

"If Marcus were here... he would have done it himself." Scott said. Scott's father hesitated, but let Scott go to take care of the Attack Bot.

"Let's go, sir." Bella said. Hicks started to drive towards the garage.

"Sir, I know it's not my place to say this, but if you keep comparing Scott to Marcus, you're gonna lose him. You already lost one son. You don't wanna risk losing the other one." Bella said. Scott's father stayed silent, thinking about Ava's words. They finally got to the garage. They got off and went inside. They all went inside the Ranger Lab. Dillon, Ziggy, and Dr. K were inside.

"I have the overthruster." Bella said. She handed it to Dr. K and she began working.

"Bella!" Both boys were glad to see her alive and well. Ziggy hugged her. Bella returned the hug.

"Hey. Nice to be back." Bella said. They let each other go.

"We got a bit frightened when we heard that you went outside the dome." Ziggy said.

"Even tough bad boy Dillon was scared?" Bella asked.

"I knew you could handle yourself." Dillon said.

"He won't admit it." Ziggy said. Bella laughed.

"It's fine. I'm just glad to be back." Bella said.

"Doc, did you get the overthruster?" Scott asked. Dr. K plugged in one last thing before returning to her computer.

"Flux overthruster is online." Dr. K said.

"Black, Green, you are go for Croc Carrier sequencing." Scott said.

"Good luck." Bella said, repeating what Dillon said to her before. Dillon smirked at her. He and Ziggy left to join the fight. Bella stayed in the lab with Dr. K, Colonel Truman, and Hicks. They were listening to the fight on the monitors.

"The Croc Carrier isn't malfunctioning. Dillon and Ziggy created the ValveMax Megazord." Bella said. Then, the Megazord destroyed that Attack Bot with ease. Bella looked at Scott's father and Hick, who had smiles on their faces, both proud of Scott.

"It's all clear. This is Ranger Red signing out." Scott said.

"Roger that." Scott's father said.

"And nice work, Ranger Red." Hick said. One look from Colonel Truman and they both lost their smiles.

"Sir, don't push it away. Let it be." Bella said. Colonel Truman looked at Ava and nodded. Then they heard light snoring. They looked at Dr. K, who was sleeping in her seat.

"It has been a long day. You should go now. And don't forget what I said, Colonel Truman." Bella said.

"I won't." Colonel Truman said.

"And I believe this belongs to you." Bella said. She took out the red letter from her pocket and gave it to him. Scott's father stared at the letter.

"Thank you." Scott's father said. He and Corporal Hicks left to return to the Control Tower. Bella let Dr. K sleep and left the lab. She saw the Rangers come inside.

"Be quiet. Dr. K is sleeping. Do not disturb her." Bella said.

"Really?" Ziggy asked. Bella nodded.

"You all must be tired, so go and get some rest. You've earned it." Bella said. They all went their separate ways to their rooms.

"Hey, Bella." Dillon called out.

"Yeah?" Bella said. When everyone else was far enough, Dillon spoke.

"I'm glad you're safe." Dillon said.

"Thanks. Same to you." Bella said. She went upstairs to her room. Dillon wanted desperately to tell her, but he didn't have the courage.

'Soon hopefully.' Dillon thought. He wanted to tell her that he's in love with her.
