Recently after the incident, Bella was adjusting well to being Ranger Pink/Cyan. Her power that came along with the suit were pretty cool. Including her weapon and Zord.

To start, Bella's Zord is a pink and cyan fox. Then, she found out her weapon was a Plasma Naginata. The blades were mechanical, not steel or iron or anything like that. Only technology works against technology in this world. Finally, like everyone else, Bella's suit comes with a power. She can use something called Plasma Jump. Basically, she can jump higher than any person and it sets off a miniature earthquake within five feet of her. It only affects the enemy, which was pretty useful if a civilian or ranger was nearby.

Anyway, the Rangers and Dr. K were currently at the Corinth Control Tower where Colonel Truman works at to answer some questions from a group of kids. The Rangers and Dr. K are on a platform together. Bella stood between Dillon and Dr. K.

Bella was wearing her hair in a low ponytail with a streak out from the left side of her head. She was wearing a plain pink shirt, cyan skinny jeans, and high heel ankle boots. She was also wearing a leather jacket with pink and cyan lining similar to the others jackets. On the back of the jacket is a pink and cyan face of a fox.

Right now, Dr. K was teaching the children how the Ranger suits are powered with complicated science on a white board. Dr. K finished writing.

"And that is how we power the Ranger Bio-Hardware, using no traditional external energy source." Dr. K looked back at the children who were entirely confused. Even Colonel Truman was confused. Either way, he smiled to be polite.

"Thank you, Dr. K. Now how about some questions from our visiting students?" Colonel Truman asked. Four out of the six children raised their hand.

"Let's see... how about you?" Colonel Truman gave the mic to a boy wearing glasses.

"Ranger Black, you're my favorite power ranger. Your toughness and spirit is an inspiration to all of Corinth City. Do you have any advice for all the kids out there who look up to you?" The boy asked. Bella couldn't help, but smile. She moved a bit to let Dillon go to the mic.

"No." Dillon said. And he moved back to his place. That was ignored and the questions moved on.

"Ranger Blue, how come you talk pretty and everyone else doesn't? A blonde girl asked. Flynn got excited with that question as he moved to the mic. Everyone smiled, trying to hold in the laughter.

"Well, wee lass, it's, uh, it's 'cause I'm Scottish, and everyone else isn't." Flynn said. The mic moved on to another boy with a multi color striped shirt.

"Could you please tell me where do you get your spandex?" The boy asked. Bella's eyes widened, knowing how Dr. K felt when someone called the Ranger suit 'spandex'. The others held Dr. K back and covered her mouth as Dr. K tried to walk forward and yell at the kid. Bella went to the mic and spoke before Dr. K could blow.

"Um, please don't call Dr. K's ranger suits 'spandex'. It bothers her and she might say or do stuff she'll regret." Bella said.

"Right, sorry." The boy said.

"And about the armor, as I like to call it, may be a bit difficult for you to understand." Bella said.

"Ok, thank you." The boy said. The others let Dr. K go when she calmed down. Bella went to her place next to Dillon and Dr. K.

"Thank you, Ranger Pink/Cyan." Dr. K said. Bella wished Dr. K would call her by her own name, but she let it slide.

"Anytime." Bella said. She turned her head to Dillon.

"Nice save." Bella said.

"Same to you. Quick thinking." Dillon said. Bella smiled. They looked back at the children. Dillon held Bella's hand and put it behind their backs. Bella smiled as they held hands. They weren't ready to tell the others they were together. The mic moved on to the boy wearing glasses again.

"Red, you are the leader of the Power Rangers. Is that the reason why your hair is the coolest?" The boy asked. Bella couldn't help, but laugh. Ziggy was shocked, thinking he had the coolest hair. Scott smile as he moved to the mic.

"That would be one of the reasons, yeah." Scott said. He moved back. The mic moved on to the same blonde girl.

"Ranger Pink/Cyan, as a female representative of the Power Rangers, I have a question for you. Which of the guys look the cutest in the span-" The girl began. She saw Bella rub her hand on her throat and shake her head twice towards Dr. K.

"I mean, in the tights, or armor as you say?" The girl correctly asked. Bella let go of the breath she was holding. That was a close one. Before Bella could go to the mic, Ziggy walked up and grabbed the mic.

"Actually, I..." Ziggy paused as the mic made a piercing noise. Everyone covered their ears. When the noise stopped, everyone uncovered their ears and Ziggy continued.

"Uh, I-I can answer that question. I think it comes down to the angle at which you, uh -" Ziggy got cut off when Scott and Flynn pulled him back to where he was. Bella went to the little girl and whispered something in her ear.

"Does that answer your question?" Bella asked. The girl nodded as she smiled and giggled. Bella went back to her place.

"What'd you say?" Dillon asked. Bella held his hand and put it behind their backs.

"You can take a hint." Bella said. They smiled as the mic moved back to the multi color striped shirt boy. He seemed hesitant. Why?

"Ranger Yellow, will you marry me?" The boy asked. That's why. Bella thought it was cute that he asked that question to Summer. Everyone laughed at that question, except Dr. K. Summer went to the mic.

"I like a man with taste. The answer is yes." Summer said. Everyone clapped for the 'newlyweds'. Dr. K was confused.

"I'm not sure I understand the relevance of the question. It makes the endless queries into Ranger Red's hair and which person Ranger Pink/Cyan finds cute seem pertinent and insightful by comparison."

"I'm sorry. It's just... Ranger Yellow seems so nice. Have you always been this nice, Miss Yellow?" The boy asked. Bella looked at Summer, who was in a daze. Bella walked to Summer and waved her hand in front of her face. Nothing.

"Um, Summer? Hello?" Bella tried and failed. Still nothing.

'Maybe she wasn't always nice and she's just remembering that time.' Bella thought. It wasn't long before something alarmed the tower. Dr. K searched the monitors.

"Some kind of sonic interference caused a momentary breach in the shield." Dr. K said. Immediately the Rangers were already on it. They left to take care what was interfering with the shield. Well, expect Summer who was still in a daze. She was left there for a second before Dr. K snapped her out of her daze and she took off.

When Ava and the rest of the Rangers got to the scene, they saw an attack bot with big boom boxes connected to the sides of its head with Grinders next to and behind it. There were some soldiers who were getting people to safety away from the threat. The team ran closer to the machine. That's when the Grinders attacked. With all the Grinders attacking the others, Bella found herself a clear path to the attack bot. She ran towards it and began attacking it.

'Bella.' Dillon thought. He wanted to get to her and help her, but he was occupied with the Grinders around him.

"Either get destroyed or destroy yourself." Bella said. She noticed that the others were done with the Grinders. She pushed the bot back far enough and got her morpher ready.

"RPM, get in gear." Bella morphed into the Pink/Cyan Ranger. She went to attack the bot, but she didn't know that it was a mistake to get so close.

"Rangers, beware of sonic bombardment cannons." Dr. K said on the com.

"Of what?" Bella asked. Her question went answered when the attack bot's boom boxes let out a loud noise. The others behind her were caught in the fire so they were blasted back. But since Bella was so close to the bot, it hurt her the most. Bella flew back farther that the others. She fell on her side. She didn't de-morph, but the noise hurt her ears. There was a loud ringing sound for a moment before disappearing. After that, Bella couldn't hear anything. Not the fight or even the common noises of a city. She was temporarily deaf.

'No, no, no.' Bella thought. She fell on both knees and pressed a button to take off her helmet. Ava grabbed her head to try to get herself to hear again. No luck. She looked up to see Dillon running towards her. He was in his Ranger suit. He pressed a button and his helmet disappeared. His mouth was moving, but no words were heard.

"Dillon, I can't hear you. That bot made me temporarily deaf." Bella said, but she couldn't hear herself. Ava saw Dillon's face turn to anger. He helped Ava stand up. Dillon put on his helmet.

"I might not hear, but I can still fight." Bella said. Dillon shook his head. Bella sighed.

"I guess that mean I go to garage." Bella said. Dillon nodded.

"Ok. Good luck." Bella said. Dillon pulled her into a quick hug before leaving to join the others. Ava de-morphed and left the fight. She ran all the way to the garage. On the way to the garage, Bella could hear muffles of her surroundings. Her hearing was coming back. When she got to the garage, she went to the Ranger lab. She noticed that Dr. K wasn't here. She must still be at the control tower.

"Since Dr. K's not here, I'm gonna go to my room." Bella said. She walked out of the Ranger lab and went upstairs to her room. She grabbed her phone and plugged in her earbuds. Bella put her earbuds on and put some music on. She may hear it muffled, but she thought it could help her get her hearing back. And it was working. Less than five minutes later, Bella's hearing was fully restored.

"Finally." Bella said. She put her phone and earbuds away and went downstairs. When she got downstairs, she saw a man and woman at the pool table. She didn't recognize them.

"Umm, excuse me? Who are you?" Bella asked. The man and woman both looked at Bella. They seemed like rich people.

"Ahh, the help. Would you tell us where the Rangers and our daughter are?" The man said, ignoring her question.

"Daughter? Umm, I'm a Ranger. Whose your daughter?" Bella asked.

"Would you tell us where Summer is?" The woman asked. Bella was getting a little annoyed by how rude they're being.

"If you are waiting for Summer, you'll have to wait. She'll be back soon." Bella said. Like on cue, the rangers and Dr. K walked inside the garage, except Summer. Bella started to walk towards them.

"Guys, how was it?" Bella asked.

"Bella, you can hear now?" Dillon asked.

"Yeah, completely healed." Bella said.

"When Dillon told us, we got worried." Ziggy said.

"You don't have to worry. I'm fine." Bella said.

"Good. And about that Attack Bot, we destroyed it." Scott said.

"Good. I'm sorry I was no help." Bella said.

"It's alright. We're just glad you're feeling better." Flynn said.

"You need to be at your full strength if you want to defeat Venjix and his creations." Dr. K said.

"Thanks. And by the way, there's two people here who..." Bella couldn't finish.

"Ah, there you are, finally." The woman said.

"...are really getting on my nerves." Bella finished. The team all saw the same man and woman that Bella saw when she got here.

"This must be the help." The woman said.

"Again with the help." Bella said.

"Here you are, my good man, polish it, buff it, and chalk it in time for my next shot, if you don't mind." The man said as he handed the pool stick to Dillon. Dillon grabbed the stick with both hands and broke it in half, shocking everyone.

"Actually, I do." Dillon said. He handed the broken stick, back to the man.

"Uh, sorry, can I help you two?" Scott asked. The woman brushed her finger on the pool table.

"You can start by explaining why you don't keep this place cleaner for our daughter and the Power Rangers?" The woman said as she held up her finger full of dust.

"Wait a minute. I know these guys." Ziggy said. But he was ignored at the moment.

"Wait a minute. We are the Power Rangers." Flynn said.

"You're the Power Rangers?" The man asked.

"Aye." Flynn said.

"Not their servants? My goodness. How very middle-class." The man said.

"Is that very in right now- the middle class, I mean?" The woman asked. Ziggy leaned in near Scott's ear to whisper something to him. Bella heard what Ziggy said to Scott.

"The Landsdowns- Martin and Claire Landsdown- they're rich. They're like, uh, like billionaires." Ziggy said.

"I don't care who they are. You two, out. Now." Scott said.

"Annoying bitches," Bella added loudly, annoyed at their antics.

The couple heard and looked offended, the man spoke, "excuse me? Did you call my wife a 'bitch'? That was uncalled for, you lowly slave. Do you know who we are? We are-"

Bella had enough and exploded, calm, quiet, and collected thrown out the window, "You come into my home, call it dirty, call us 'lowly servants or slaves', what do you think I'm gonna call you and say, 'I'm sorry master we will clean it right away,' no! Your name in my mind is 'Bitch'!" Bella pointed at Claire who gasped, then towards Martin, "you! Are a fucking asshole! You two could get arrested for trespassing on our property! I suggest you leave immediately and never come back!"

Dillon nodded in agreement slightly out of shock as the others were by the number of words and shouting she used. He along with Scott shoved the couple towards the door.

A shadow fell over the entrance and the sound of an engine told the others that Summer was returning. The tires on Summer's motorcycle screeched against the floor as the yellow Ranger pulled to a halt.

"Summer, honey," Martin called out.

"Would you please tell your servants to unhand us? And get rid of the filthy slave," Claire asked Summer.

"If you call us servants one more time, I'm seriously gonna grab a stick and shove it up to your ass and send you alone somewhere nobody will find you." Bella threatened clearly displeased and annoyed, mostly angered.

"Wait, Summer, you know these fools?" Scott asked.

"Well, of course she knows us. This is our daughter." Claire said, now known as Summer's mother. And Martin is Summer's father.

"None of you heard their last names? Even I knew it." Bella said.

"Mom, dad, what are you doing here?" Summer asked.

"Why, we're here for our little girl." Summer's father said.

"Just like we always have been." Summer's mother said.

"And why don't I believe that?" Bella whispered to Dillon. It seems like Dillon agreed with her. Later, everyone decided to let Summer talk with her parents alone. They went inside the Ranger Lab. Bella saw pieces of machinery on a table.

"What is that?" Bella asked.

"Broken pieces of that Attack Bot we fought earlier." Scott said.

"And it's here why?" Bella asked.

"Defeating that Attack Bot was easy, which made me question why it was easy." Dr. K said.

"It wasn't easy." Ziggy said.

"Since when is it ever, Ziggy?" Bella asked rhetorically. Even though Bella agreed with Dr. K, she didn't want to be like she was disagreeing with Ziggy. Bella was in the middle. Suddenly, the doors opened. Summer was about to enter. She was facing her parents.

"It's called getting a job!" Summer didn't seem like she was happy to see her parents.

"We even let you pretend to be one of these Power Rangers." Summer's father said.

"I am a Power Ranger. It's important." Summer said. She walked away from her parents.

"And we aren't?!" Summer's mother asked in shock. The doors to the lab closed in front of her face. Bella resisted laughing. Summer walked to the machinery. Flynn was scanning it to see what was going on.

"Take a look at what I found in the Boom Bot wreckage." Flynn said. He motioned them to look at a screen with the Boom Bot's info.

"It's a self-destruct switch, but it was activated from inside the shield." Flynn said.

"Are you serious?" Bella asked.

"What does that mean?" Summer asked.

"It means that the Boom Bot was not the ultimate objective of Venjix' attack." Dr. K said.

"A decoy?" Bella said.

"Correct. That is why the Boom Bot was so easily defeated." Dr. K said.

"Easy? Y-You call that easy?" Ziggy asked. Dr. K chose to ignore him and showed everyone a part of the city on a screen.

"This is the point of entry of the Boom Bot, and this is the direction it took into the city." Dr. K said, pointing to different places on the screen.

"I've had Colonel Truman scan for any unusual activity in the opposite direction, and we have a hit-" Dr. K typed something on the keyboard and something else appeared on the screen.

"A break-in at Corinth City Central Bank Vaults." Dr. K said. The Rangers knew they had to check it out. They headed out of the lab. Summer's parents were waiting for her outside the doors. Bella didn't bother listening to her parents whine like babies. She got in the passenger seat of Dillon's car and he drove off towards the bank with the others.

"What would Venjix want in a bank?" Bella asked.

"I don't know, but it must be important if he was willing to distract us." Dillon said.

Ava and Dillon learned how to be together in a time of crisis. They always focused on the main task, but every now and then, when they were relaxing, they like to sneak secret kisses when no one is looking.

When they got near the bank, they got out of their vehicles and morphed.

'Where's Summer?' Bella thought. Summer was right behind them, wasn't she? Unfortunately, now wasn't the time to wait.

"Rangers, be advised security data indicates intruder is still within the perimeter of the bank." Dr K said. After looking around, they found Tenaya with a black rectangular box in her left hand.

"Venjix, I am returning with the diamond." Tenaya said on her comm-link. The rangers decided to come out of hiding.

"Maybe." Scott said.

"But then again. Maybe not." Flynn said. They all surrounded Tenaya.

"I love a good challenge." Tenaya said.

"I'll bet." Dillon said. They took out their Nitro Blasters and Nitro Swords. They all went at her at once. They tried to fight her, but Tenaya was too good. She managed to get them trapped in her hands.

"But it looks like I'll have to settle for you guys instead." Tenaya said. She landed some hits and kick on them and they fell. Scott got up and tried to attack, but Tenaya kicked him away and went down. Flynn did the same and ended up the same. Dillon tried, but failed. He managed to jump away, but when Ziggy tried to attack, Tenaya grabbed his Nitro Blaster and shot Dillon. She then proceeded to knock down Ziggy.

"You'll pay for that." Bella said. She held up her Nitro Sword and charged at Tenaya.

"Weak." Tenaya said. Tenaya and Bella began to fight. Bella tried her best to land hits and kicks on Tenaya, and she was doing it. Bella wasn't weak. After a kick, Tenaya stumbled backwards.

"Now you'll pay for that. You dare oppose me- Tenaya Generation 7- Venjix Human Infiltration Attack Bot?" Tenaya asked. Then Bella saw someone arrive. Bella smiled.

'She's gonna get it now.' Bella thought. She was so glad that Summer finally arrived.

"Sorry, my parents are visiting. Can we skip all the bad-guy blah-blah-blah?" Summer asked

"Summer!" All the guys were happy to see Summer. Bella was too. Summer began fighting Tenaya, and she was beating her. That proves girls are better. After kicking Tenaya down, Summer morphed and took out her Nitro Blaster.

"Let me get in on the action." Bella said. She changed her Nitro Sword into her blaster and went to help Summer. They both fought Tenaya. Summer found one of the guys' blasters and grabbed it. Unfortunately, Tenaya managed to yank it out of Summer's hands and use it. Summer then found a Nitro Sword and used it to block the laser blasts. Then Tenaya pointed the blaster at Bella.

"Damn it." Bella changed her blaster back into her sword and deflected the blasts. After getting tired of Bella, Tenaya moved on to Summer. But she got knocked down again and Summer held her at gun point.

"Hold it right there. Don't move." Summer said. Tenaya ignored her and stood up.

"Tell your parents not to wait up." Tenaya said.

"Her parents?" Bella didn't know why Tenaya would bring up Summer's parents.

"What are you talking about? My parents? Leave my parents out of this." Summer said. Tenaya was smiling.

"What?" Summer was confused. So was Bella, until she noticed Tenaya's missing hand.

"Summer, her hand!" Bella said. Summer quickly noticed. They saw the reflection on Tenaya's visor. Her hand had a blaster and was about to fire. Summer and Bella moved out of the way and the blast hit Tenaya.

"Thanks, Bella. Shoot it." Summer said.

"No problem." Bella said. She aimed at the hand and fired. The hand was destroyed.

"Aw, drat!" Tenaya complained. Summer fired at Tenaya. She fell, but got back up.

"You need some new upgrades." Summer said.

"You're too late, Rangers. I already got what I came for. Behold the key to your destruction- the Black Di-" When Tenaya opened the box, nothing was there.

"Well, I'm waiting." Bella said.

"Whoops." Summer said.

"Aw, double-drat." Tenaya whined. Tenaya walked away. The boys regrouped with Summer and Bella.

"You guys ok?" Bella asked.

"Yeah, we'll live." Dillon said. Everyone de-morphed and were walking back to the garage. Dillon and Bella were at the back of the group.

"Bella?" Dillon whispered. Bella turned around. Instantly, Dillon places his hands on Bella's cheeks and pulled her into a passionate kiss. Bella was a bit surprised, but kissed him back. Dillon let her go and they caught up with the group. Thankfully, no one saw. They looked at each other and smiled. Bella was blushing a bit. When they got to the garage, they both calmed down. Unfortunately, Summer's parents were still here. The guys and Bella sat on a table while Summer's parents talked to her, in front of them.

"Summer, honey." Summer's father said.

"All we're asking is that you make good on our agreement." Summer's mother said.

"Now, you promised us that if we gave you some space, you'd do the right thing." Summer's father said.

"No questions asked. Isn't that what you said?" Summer's mother asked.

"That's enough!" Dillon and Bella shouted in unison, slamming down their fists down onto the kitchen table. Both hadn't been fans of the Landsdowns from the moment they walked in early morning. They were trying to force their eldest into doing something she clearly didn't want to do.

"Dillon! Bella!" Scott shouted scoldingly, grabbing the black Ranger and stopping him from taking another step away from the table. Bella stood behind Dillon, "That's Summer's family."

"I wouldn't care even if they were my family. Only Summer can make her own decisions." Bella said.

"Listen, that's between her and them. If she promised them that she'll, I don't know, go to school or get back home..." Scott was interrupted.

"Or get married." Summer said.

"Right. W-What?" Scott was clearly shocked. Everyone was.

"I promised them I'd get married." Summer said. Everyone had their mouth and eyes wide open.

"Honey, I'm sorry." Summer's mother said.

"But it's time you remember who you really are." Summer's father said. He held up the thing Tenaya was after. The Black Landsdown Diamond. Bella couldn't believe this was happening. It didn't seem real. None of it did.

Later Bella got a call from John about a mission. The street was quiet. No other vehicles drove along. It was a perfect place for an ambush. Derek Reese sat in the back of the convict transportation truck, fiddling around with the handcuffs. He always embedded a lock pick underneath his barcode tattoo, just for emergencies like this one.

He almost freed himself when suddenly, he heard a loud engine whirring outside. Then a loud thud on the right side where he was sitting. Derek jolted away from the wall of the van, thinking the triple eight that was hunting him, had finally caught up with the soldier.

Derek awaited the fist that would smash through the metal, but it never came. Instead he heard glass breaking up front and the van halting immediately. He heard the similar voice that he heard just hours earlier and recognized who it was.

Sarah Connor.

Derek opened the doors that led to the front, and stopped dead in his tracks when the door slid open, revealing a small petite teenage girl with brown hair and brown eyes. Her face and posture betrayed what she truly was, which Derek took immediate notice to. "Metal bitch!" He snarled and backed away from her.

"Relax, she's with us." Sarah spoke reassuringly, as she hopped in the driver's seat. Sarah started the van and looked out the side view mirror, only to see a T-triple eight bolting at their location with incredible speeds. Sarah handed Cameron her MP5 and spoke. "Take care of the big boy." She ordered. Cameron nodded and pushed past Derek and into the back of the van. Derek closed the door behind him and sat in the passenger seat, next to Sarah.

"Punch it!" He barked. Sarah didn't like being ordered around but complied this time and stomped on the gas. With the van's tires screeching as it accelerated down the road.

The triple eight quickly caught up to the van that was speeding and jumped on the back. The triple eight ripped the door clean off and walked inside to find Cameron waiting for him.

Cameron takes the first blow and swings at his face, not doing much damage in the process. The triple eight grabs Cameron by the shoulders, and throws her from left to right inside the vehicle, with the van almost being knocked off course with the two cyborg's brawl being the cause of it.

Sarah didn't make it very far until she stopped the vehicle, and both her and Derek piled out. With the triple eight distracted by Cameron, they ran to the Jeep where Bella and John had just parked, when they saw the van stop.

John was the first to say something as he ran up to his mother. "Where's Cameron?" He asked concerned, frantically looking around.

"Leave her, we gotta get outta here" Derek persisted and tried to move John with him.

Everybody jolted their heads to see Cameron thrown out of the van, and landed on the ground, unmoving. The triple eight walked out, and got on top of Cameron, and started beating her some more which was unnecessary. John tries to rush to his cyborg protector's aid, but is stopped from doing so when Sarah and Derek hold him back.

Sarah pulls out her Beretta from the waistband of her jeans and fires off four shots into the cyborg's chest.

The triple eight shrugs this off of course and picks up Cameron's Glock 17 and takes aim at the four. Sarah quickly shielded herself in front of John, not wanting any harm to come to him.

The machine analyzed Bella and the Resistance fighter and took aim at her heart. Cameron beat his leg from under him with a rear bumper from the van and a gunshot rang out. Bella felt the sting in her side, but she didn't flinch too much since it hit Derek more than her.

Cameron continued to beat the other machine with the bumper repeatedly, until she wrapped it around the cyborg's neck, disabling it from moving any further.

"Bring me the toolbox!" She shouted out behind her. John got free from his mother's grasp, and grabbed the toolbox from the back, then rushed up to Cameron. "Switchblade." She stoically ordered. John handed her the switchblade, which she then used to rip off the port cover of the triple eight. "Pliers." She then asked. John gives her the red handled needle nose pliers, which she then uses to slowly, but methodically twist and pull out the chip, deactivating the T-triple eight. It was done. Their mission was completed.

Sarah and Bella burst inside the house, carrying a badly injured Derek Reese over their shoulders. He had been shot in the side of the chest and was bleeding out fast. John and Cameron followed them in soon after, closing the door behind them.

Sarah swiped all the contents that were on the counter, onto the floor, including the only cereal bowl, and eased Derek onto the table top. Everybody gathered around Derek, figuring out what to do. "Don't let that thing touch me," He demanded.

"We have to stop your bleeding," Sarah told him, gathering towels and cloths together.

"Get away from me," he called again, trying to sit up with the blood now in the scruff of his cheeks and neck, crusting as it dried.

"Please don't move," Cameron said calmly, resting her hands above the wound. "You're increasing your blood loss." His head fell back onto the table as he harshly breathed and her hands went over the wound. "I can't fix it."

"You took a bullet out of me," Sarah reminded her, speaking through her teeth.

"He has internal damage," she told her, lifting her eyes as if it would help her cause to meet them. "He needs medical attention, or he's going to die. Sarah ran out of the kitchen with a confused John following her. Sarah entered her room, grabbed a small rucksack under the bed, and pulled out a small taser.

"Mom!" John raised his voice. He was confused as to what she was doing this time. "A stun gun?" He inquired. "What are you doing!?"

"He won't last much longer without help. He needs a doctor!" Sarah argued. She was about to leave when her son suddenly blocked her path.

"So what? You're gonna go and kidnap one?" John asked.

"There's an ER a mile down the road." Sarah said.

"Mom, this is crazy! Even for you!" John shouted in frustration. "You don't even know this guy!"

"He's your uncle!" Sarah exclaimed unintentionally. She wasn't planning on telling John just yet, but she needed for him to understand.

"He doesn't know." Sarah explained simply.

Bella nodded to John and he turned and ran out the room, and out the front door unexpectedly. "John!" She shouted, trying to gain his attention. But it was too late. He was gone. Sarah wanted to chase after him, but Derek needed all the help he could get.

A bit later as if right on cue. John bursted through the door with a familiar someone behind him. Sarah immediately recognized the man.

Charlie Dixon.

Charlie stared at Sarah in disbelief for a moment, with her staring back at him.

"Hello? Are you gonna help or just stand there?" Bella sarcastically spoke, breaking the two from the stare down. Charlie ran up and took Sarah's place, and started to assess the wound.

"What's the cause of the wound?" Charlie asked no one in particular.

"Gunshot," Sarah answered. Charlie nodded in acceptance and continued to examine Derek.

"Bullet nicked his left lung. I got a fragment lodged in the tissue," Charlie informed. "I can get it out, but will someone tell me what the hell is going on here? Huh?"

"S-she's a machine!" Derek shouted deliriously at Cameron. He didn't trust metal whatsoever. Charlie looked at Cameron for a brief moment, not knowing what exactly he was ranting on about. "She's a liar, she's a liar!" He continued.

"Sedative in my bag!" Charlie asked in a commanding tone. John quickly grabbed a syringe from the bag, only to have Cameron snatch it from his hands.

"Everything she says is a lie, don't listen to her!" Derek continued to rant, with him moving more and more violently. If he moved anymore, it could have devastating consequences. Cameron neared Derek, with the syringe, ready to inject him with the sedative, until Derek started pushing everyone away. "Don't, don't, don't! Get that bitch away from me!"

"Do you want him to die?" Charlie demanded, speaking over his yelling as he pressed the point into the man's arm and disappearing into the blood flushed skin.

"If I wanted him to die ...," Cameron started conversationally, so out of place in the sound and blood.

"Cameron!" Sarah warned in a yell and Cameron went quiet, obeying the silent order and stepping back.

"What do you want me to do?" John asked. After finding out Derek was his uncle, he wanted to help save his life. He had so many questions, and he wanted some answers to them.

"I need the manual aspirator to drain the lung, okay? It's in the back of my truck. Do you remember what it looks like?" Charlie asked John.

"Yeah I remember," John nodded, and ran out the front door yet again.

"Oh, my god. Gunshots, punctures, burns, some broken bones. Second grade medical treatment if anything at all. Sarah?" Charlie gazed at her. "I need more light." Sarah nodded and grabbed a lamp from. Behind the microwave and shined it above Derek. John returned a moment later carrying Charlie's bag, and placed it near the sink.

~Later~

"I stopped the bleeding," Charlie said, walking into the other room. "I drained his lungs. But your guy lost a lot of blood. And he needs a transfusion."

"Sarah's o-negative. The universal donor, so is Bella." Cameron said methodically.

"It doesn't matter; he needs at least three units of his own type, AB-negative," Charlie sighed, sounding more than just physically tired and the latex of his gloves snapping as he tugged them off. "Bad news is, only one half of one percent of the population are potential donors. We don't find one, you're going to have a serious problem."

"Then we take him to the emergency room," Sarah said calmly, hands in her pockets and rocking back and forth. "Drop him off anonymously."

"He's still wanted for Andy Goode's murder," Cameron reminded them. "And for escaping federal custody. We should let him die."

"Test my blood," John said standing up.

"You heard the odds, John," Charlie said, probably catching on that he hadn't yet been given my name. "200 to 1."

"Then at least we can say we tried," Bella shrugged.

~That night~

Now John was trying to sleep but couldn't. His mind was racing a thousand miles per hour. He had just learned he had an uncle. There were days where he had wished he had a real family, where it wasn't just him and his mother hiding in a house day and night, waiting for the inevitable bombs to drop.

John still set dizzy from at the blood that he had given Derek. He needed some time to recover as well, to regain his strength.

John got up off the floor, from his sleeping back and slowly crept to the door where he opened it.

The hallway was dark. There was usually Cameron stalking about the house, late at night but her footsteps weren't present.

John just shrugged that thought, thinking that maybe she was patrolling the block or something, and walked downstairs, into the kitchen.

Once in the kitchen, John turned on the light and opened the fridge. He pondered on what to actually take out; Water, or apple juice. He decided to go with the water and pulled out a water bottle. John took a swig and favored the cooling liquid as refreshing. Afterwards, he screwed back on the lid and was about to turn, when he saw Cameron standing right in front of him.

"Oh jeez!" John jumped surprise. For how many times she has snuck up on him, it never got old.

"Six times," Cameron stated, still staring back at John with a blank expression.

"What?" John asked, groggily rubbing his eyes, it was too late for wordplay.

"I thought you were gonna ask how many times I snuck up on you." Cameron explained, John just nodded in agreement. John did however notice something on her neck. He set down his water bottle on the counter and curiously grabbed the object around her neck.

"Why are you wearing this?" John asked.

"I don't know. I found it," Cameron replied.

John opened the locket only to find a picture of him inside. "Uh huh, then why is there a picture of me inside of it?" John asked.

"I found the locket and put a picture of you inside it," Cameron stated the obvious.

"I can see that, but why did you put a picture of me inside of it?" John persisted.

"I don't know." Cameron repeated. John just rolled his eyes, knowing that she would probably never tell him.

John just turned on his heels and walked off, back to his room.

"It's my heart." Cameron muttered to herself. John stopped, barely even hearing what she said, but it was enough.

"Your heart?" John then asked.

Cameron was silent for a brief moment before she spoke again. "Yes, my heart. Sarah calls me Tin Miss, like the Tin Man from 'The Wizard of Oz,' published by L. Frank Baum in"

"I get that, but why do you need one?" John persisted with asking. "You know the ending of the story for the Tin Man right?"

"Yes, he had a heart all along." Cameron answered.

"Then why do you need a physical one if you're relating yourself with the story?" John continued.

"I... don't feel like I have one. I only have a nuclear fusion reactor instead of a physical heart. You could relate it to a physical heart in terms of how it powers my body, but It doesn't make me more human." Cameron responded. Her face still had a stoic expression, but her eyes seemed to have a slight glimmer. Something she never displayed before.

"So what're you saying?" John asked curiously. For some reason he had hope that she would say she had feelings. 'She did say she was different from other machines back in New Mexico, so maybe she had emotions or something similar to that?'

"That this," Cameron pointed at the locket "Is my heart." She repeated.

John was at a loss for words. What could he say to his cyborg protector, that wouldn't hurt her? 'Right, she's a machine.' No matter how much he wanted to believe she had feelings, he had been drilled by his mother that they couldn't. 'They weren't capable of feeling. They were cold blooded killing machines. Nothing more, nothing less.'

Then why was he having doubts? Especially after she told him that this locket was her heart?

"I-im gonna go back to bed," John sheepishly said, rubbing the back of his neck. "We'll talk more tomorrow." John then added before walking out of the room, and turning off the light on his way out.

Cameron stood in the dark, with the locket still in her palm, as she studied it closely. Honestly she didn't know why she had his picture in the locket. In a way, it made her feel... wait, feel? That was something that made Cameron ponder on. 'My systems must be glitching. I will have to do a full reboot later.'

"Or maybe you two are in love." Bella said.

~Morning~

It was another day, but still with the problem between Summer and her parents. They're forcing her to get married. What kind of parents do that to their child, especially their only child? That made Bella boil with anger. Summer is her friend, and the first one Bella made since she got to Corinth. Bella didn't want Summer to do something she didn't like. Unfortunately, Bella could do nothing about it.

Bella is wearing a plain pink shirt, her RPM leather jacket, cyan skinny jeans, and black high heel ankle boots.. Right now, Bella was with the team fighting against Grinders near a market. They weren't morphed though. Bella hated the fact that Ziggy and Flynn wanted Summer to go through with the wedding. At least Scott and Dillon are in her side.

"So, let me get this straight. Summer promised her parents she'd get married?" Scott asked as he pushed away some Grinders.

"If they'd leave her alone for one year, forget that she's the heir to the fabulous Landsdown fortune, and let her live her life." Flynn said as he threw two Grinders backwards.

"Here's what I don't get- why on Earth would you agree to marry some stiff that your mom and dad picked out for you?" Dillon asked.

"She's got to marry a rich guy. It's what rich people do." Flynn said.

"That's like selling someone as a sex slave to the highest bidder." Bella said. She let out some of her anger on the Grinders. Sometimes Dillon gripped her shoulder or said some words to help Bella calm down. Bella really didn't want to see Summer get married or sold to someone she doesn't love.

"Besides, her parents were planning to marry Summer off to Chaz since she was 5 years old." Flynn said. Scott and Dillon looked at each other.

"Chaz?" Scott and Dillon said with big mocking smiles on their face. They both laughed a bit. Bella looked confused.

"Who's Chaz?" Bella asked.

"Chaz Winchester IV. Heir to the entire Winchester fortune. Their family is even more loaded than Summer's." Ziggy said as he fought Grinders with a plastic chair.

"'Cause there's nothing I love better than than a proper wedding reception, right?" Flynn asked. Scott laughed. Bella curled her hand to fists and took deep breathes. She loathes arranged marriages. Dillon noticed and gripped Bella's arm. Bella looked at him and smiled. Dillon smiled back. He always knew how to help her.

"Sorry, Flynn, I hate to disappoint you." Summer came out of nowhere in her Ranger suit and her Nitro Sword at hand. She began fighting the Grinders alone.

"But there isn't gonna be a wedding." Summer said. That brought up Bella's hopes up a bit. "Thank you." She said. Everyone took out their morphers and did the usual drill. They put in their disk, yelled out 'RPM. Get in Gear' and they morphed into their suits. They took out their Nitro Swords and went to help Summer with the Grinders.

"I already told my parents I'm not going through with any wedding." Summer said.

"But, Summer, have you thought this through? I mean- With that much money, you could afford to be pretty generous to, you know- your closest friends." Ziggy said.

"Oh aye. And you could afford to throw a pretty grand wedding reception, as well- hors d'oeuvres, a live band, dancing till the wee hours." Flynn said.

"Would you quit it already?" Bella asked. She fought side by side with Dillon. Not only because they care deeply about each other, but Dillon knew that Bella loathed arranges marriages and she could go a little overboard on her temper.

"Come on, guys. Give it a rest." Scott said.

"Besides, money can't buy everything, right, Summer?" Dillon asked.

"Yeah, right." Summer said. She looked like she was going through another flashback as she found more Grinders.

"I know because it worked with you, didn't it?" Dillon asked Bella quietly. She giggled.

"Charmer." Bella teased. Dillon laughed. After fighting for a while more, the Grinders were defeated and they all headed back to the Garage. Summer had to talk to her parents again while everyone else did their own thing. Dillon and Bella went into Bella's room.

He gently pushed Bella against the wall and leaned in. He placed sweet gentle kisses on her lips. Bella wrapped her arms around Dillon's neck and Dillon wrapped his arms around her waist. They stayed that way for some time. As much as they didn't want this moment to end, they had to do it.

"We should really go down. They might be looking for us." Bella said.

"Alright." Dillon said. They let each other go and headed to the door. Just when Bella was about to touch the knob, Dillon grabbed her arm. He spun her so she was facing him. After pulling her into a quick sweet kiss, he grabbed the knob and opened the door. Bella turned around and watched Dillon leave with a smirk in his face.

"I'm gonna get you back for this." Bella said as she left her room and closed the door. Dillon walked down the stairs.

"Can't wait." Dillon said. Bella walked down the stairs behind him.

~Later~

"How did things get to this?" Bella asked. She was dressed formally for a wedding. Summer's wedding, to be precise. Bella is wearing an ice blue dress and pink high heel sandals. She braided her hair into a side ponytail. For accessories, she has on a simple silver necklace with a crescent and a dangling star and matching earrings.

Right now, she was in the Ranger Lab with Summer, Scott, and Dillon. Summer was preparing herself for her 'big day.' She's wearing a beautiful wedding dress that was a bit poofy with a veil a little longer than her curled hair. Scott wore a tuxedo with a white flower in his tux pocket. Dillon wore a white button up long sleeve shirt with his RPM jacket.

"This is my mother and father we're talking about." Summer said as she put on make-up.

"They are blackmailing you into marrying this guy so we can keep the diamond away from Venjix." Dillon said.

"Just back off, all right? This is between her and them. It's a family thing." Scott said.

"But, Scott, this isn't right." Bella said.

"And I suppose you know what that's like." Dillon said. Bella felt a bit hurt, even though it wasn't directed at her.

"Yeah, And I suppose that both of you don't!" Scott said. In that moment, Bella felt like crying.

"I'm sorry, Summer, but I won't be attending your wedding." Bella said. She walked out of the lab. Dillon knew why Bella reacted like that. It was partly his fault too and he felt guilty. Summer turned to look at them.

"Guys, do me a favor, save this dance for the reception, ok? And both of you, apologize to Bella. You hurt her feelings. You know she came to Corinth with almost no family. Go, now!" Summer said. Dillon immediately walked out of the lab to find Ava. Scott was right behind him.

"Dillon, I wanna apologize to you first. I said the same thing to Bella to you too, and it wasn't right. I'm sorry." Scott said. Dillon turned around.

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have gone so far as to say what I said." Dillon said

"Apology accepted. So, where do we find Bella?" Scott asked

"Her room would be the first place I'd look." Dillon said. They both walked up the stairs to Bella's door. Dillon knocked on the door.

"Bella, are you there?" Dillon asked. There was a moment of silence. Dillon started to get worried. Then a voice was heard.

"Come in." The voice sounded so small and fragile. Scott felt guilty too. Dillon opened the door. The two men saw Bella lying down on her bed facing the wall.

"Ava, we're really sorry. We were acting like jerks and we weren't thinking straight." Scott said.

"Yeah. It wasn't right for us to bring up the subject. We're really sorry." Dillon said. Another moment of silence came. Just as they were about to leave, Bella turned her body to look at them and sat up.

"It's ok. You two were just letting words fly. Anyone could've made that mistake." Bella said. Scott and Dillon smiled, thankful that Bella forgave them.

"Well, it's almost time for Summer's wedding. We should go." Scott said.

"One, it's funeral, and two, I'll be right down." Bella said. Scott and Dillon laughed and headed out the door. Dillon stopped and watched Scott leave. He turned around and walked to Bella.

"What would I do without you?" Dillon asked as he cupped her cheek. Ava leaned into his touch.

"Keep on bickering with Scott like a whiny child." Bella said. Dillon smiled and leaned in. He gave her a sweet sincere kiss.

"Let's go." Dillon said. He got off the bed and held out his hand. Bella gladly took his hand and got off the bed as well. They let go of each other, left the room, and went down the stairs. They sat next to each other.

Then the bridal music started.

The Ranger Lab doors opened to reveal Summer with her veil covering her face and... in a different wedding dress? The dress wasn't poofy at all and looked like silk.

'That isn't Summer. And where is Dr. K?' Bella thought. She then put two and two together. When 'Summer' got to the front, everyone sat down and Summer's father spoke.

"Before we begin the celebration of the marriage vows, I would also like to invite you to join me in celebrating the return to us of our daughter. I'm pleased to announce the old Summer is back." Summer's father said. Bella looked around and saw that her friends didn't like that one bit. Bella didn't like it either. Summer changed into an amazing person and a caring friend.

"Sir..." Scott stood up from his chair.

'What's he doing?' Bella thought.

"Before we welcome back the old Summer, I'd just like to talk to you about the new one." Scott said. Bella felt a smile form on her face. Scott talked about the time Summer saved him. She chose to help him rather than stay inside the dome. She chose humanity over her status. That is why Summer is a power ranger.

Because she cares.

"That was the day she gave this to me." Summer's father said as he held up the diamond. Suddenly, the unexpected happened.

"What a coincidence." A certain someone crashed the party.

"Today's the day I'm going to take it from you." That someone is Tenaya. She hit all the rangers and they fell to the floor. Tenaya grabbed the diamond and threw Summer's father to the chairs where Summer's mother was. The coward Chaz hid behind 'Summer.' Right then, the garage doors opened and a bunch of Grinders and a new Attack Bot came in.

"The Landsdown Diamond is ours. And now your city is doomed to the ashes of extinction." Tenaya said holding up the diamond. She turned to 'Summer.'

"Oh, by the way, love the dress, Ranger Yellow." Tenaya ripped off the front of the veil to reveal Dr. K. Tenaya was shocked by these turn of events.

"Thanks. I would say I look positively radiant." Dr. K said.

'I knew it.' Bella thought. Everyone looked up to see Summer swinging down from a hanging lamp, in her wedding dress. She kicked Tenaya hard enough that Tenaya flew back into a stone object. Everyone was glad to see Summer here.

"No caterer would put the cake next to a recycled motor-oil bin." Summer said. The Attack Bot and the Grinders to decided to attack. Summer took her battle stance. The rangers got off the floor and joined the fight.

Everyone had their own little group of Grinders to fight. Ava found it funny that Flynn was saving the cake as he fought with his group of Grinders. Ziggy was onstage as he fought his Grinders. Dillon literally flipped over a table to knock down Grinders. Summer used Chaz's sword to fight against Grinders. She fights really good in a dress. Dr. K simply walks away calmly because she knows that the rangers can handle this. Scott was fighting as he normally does. Bella didn't have her own group of Grinders. She got the Attack Bot.

"Alright, Bot, let's dance." Bella said. She immediately started with her kicks. Bella did a crescent kick, then cut kicks. She threw in some simple kicks like roundhouse kicks and side kicks. Then Bella added in punches like uppercut punches and hook punches. Those are primary punches. Simple, but powerful against rusty machines.

Bella took a quick glance to see how everyone was doing. Summer was being held by Tenaya. Unfortunately, Bella was thrown to the ground. The Attack Bot went to Tenaya and sort of took pictures of or ate the diamond. The Attack Bot ran out of the garage and grew bigger.

"You're too late. The Camera Bot's primary weapon is now operational." Tenaya said. Summer seemed to get a tiny bit pissed, so she got out of Tenaya's grasp and kicked Tenaya. She flew once again and hit the floor hard. Summer's parents looked shocked and impressed. The team regrouped.

"Summer, you look, uh..." Scott seem to be at a lost for words.

"Well, you look..." Still couldn't get it out.

"Radiant?" Both Summer and Bella asked.

"Yes. Yeah." Scott said. Summer took out her morpher.

"Ready?" She was ready to morph. Bella immediately got ready to morph too, but the guys were slower. It was unexpected, but it shouldn't be because there was an enlarged Attack Bot outside.

"Ready." Bella spoke for the boys. They seemed to be a bit off, but they got back on track.

"RPM! Get in gear!" Everyone morphed into their signature armor. When they got outside, they quickly combined their Zords into two separate Megazords. Scott, Summer, and Flynn went inside the High Octane Megazord. Dillon, Bella, and Ziggy went inside the ValveMax Megazord.

The Camera Bot was ready to attack them with its diamond powered camera. The rangers jumped in front of the sun to blind the Bot.

"Now it's my turn." Dillon said. He aimed and fired two laser blasts at the Camera Bot.

"ValveMax Megazord charging up." Dillon, Bella, and Ziggy got ready to defeat the Bot for good. They slashed the Bot with one purple slicer, a green slicer, a lighter purple slicer, and a monstrous chomp with Croc teeth. The others finished it off.

"Initiate Super Saber." Scott said. The High Octane Megazord charged at the Bot with the saber in its hands. With three slashes, the Bot was destroyed and the day was once again saved. When everyone de-morphed and returned to the garage, Tenaya managed to run away. And what luck, the wedding is canceled. Of course, the Winchesters didn't like this.

"Kung fu, swordplay- What kind of Landsdown is that daughter of yours?" Mrs. Winchester asked. Bella didn't like them insulting Summer one bit, but due to today's events, Summer's parents had a change of heart and defended her.

"She's a new kind, a better kind." Summer's father said.

"The kind we're very proud of." Summer's mother said. Summer's parents were about to leave to spend some quality time with their daughter.

"Where do you think you're going?" Mrs. Winchester asked. She stopped the happy family.

"You still have to go through with the wedding. We know about you. You're broke. You need our money. What will you do without it? How will you survive?" Mrs. Winchester is making a big fuss over stupid things.

"I believe it's called a job." Summer's mother smartly replied. She took Summer's bouquet and threw it. Summer's friend stood up.

"The bouquet! I got it! I got it! I got it!" Summer's friend turned around and fell face first into the cake.

"Aw, what a waste of good cake!" Flynn whined. Suddenly, the bouquet landed in Bella's arms. Everyone stared at her.

"Uh, is this really happening?" Bella asked. She looked at the bouquet front and back and all around.

"Apparently it is." Dillon said. They shared a quick loving glance. Bella thought about a future without Venjix, and with Dillon.

'There is a chance for a better tomorrow. We just have to keep fighting for it.'
