Power Rangers: The Shadow Part 1 The Awakening

Chapter 8 The Awakening 2/3

Ok. Here's chapter 8.

==============================================================================

Dekker waited for his signal. He had to wait until the white light in the sky disappeared. If it did disappear, it meant New York was split in half, and he had to go retrieve a box from the crack the light had created. Dekker of course had better things to do then get involved in the world's destruction, but he didn't break a promise. Especially, since it involved his sword Urumasa, which had been with him for hundreds of years.

Dekker was waiting right outside the Empire State Building. The sky was darker than night, the streets were pieces of dried cement scattered with debris, and the air was engulfed by smoke. It was silent. Dekker gazed at the white light, and waited for his moment to strike.

"Hey." Said a voice behind him. Then he heard the voice cough a dozen times. The smoke must have been getting to them.

Dekker turned and spotted her. The same long blonde hair, and choclate brown eyes. Her skin was pale, and she wouldn't stop coughing. Her legs were shivering, almost as if she wanted to pass out.

"Serena, right?' Dekker inquired, as a smile slightly opened his lips.

"Yeah." Serena then coughed even more and her body fell forwards.

"Are you okay?!" Dekker panted as he stopped her from falling.

"Just a little flu. It'll be fine." Serena continued, "What are you doing here?"

"Just looking at the ruins of the city and remembering things as they used to be. You?"

"Same, I guess. I came to check on my sister. The news said the city was being split in half! I got to go." Serena said as she staggerd a few steps forwards and nearly collapsed.

Dekker quickly flew up to her and caught her before she collapsed. "I have to check on my sister. She could die." Serena moaned.

"I'll take you to her." Dekker said. He had to wait until the light disappeared and immediately move, but he was sure that there was still time. New York was a grand city after all, it would take at least another hour to split the whole city in half.

After a long pause Serena said, "Ok. She lives right next to Cedar Lake."

Dekker then sighed. It was too far. It was right next to the Gold Ranger's fish shop. He wouldn't make it on time. Dekker then took a deep breath, and told himself he wouldn't let Serena down. He turned into his nighlok form, and with his increase of speed and strength, Dekker picked up Serena, and sprinted towards Cedar Lake.

    Dekker then found that the only type of "house" near Cedar Lake, was some kind of dojo from the ancient times for Ninjas or Samurai. It was wooden walls, with clay tops of roof like objects on the walls. The entrance was a giant gate, with posters of Japanese characters on both sides of the gate. The wooden gate was open, and Dekker walked inside with Serena on his back.

What was this place? There were wooden dummies, wooden swords on one side of the yard, and on the other side was a decently big picnic table. Dekker took a breather, and walked towards the front door, which seemed normal enough. Dekker then burst back into his human form. He didn't want to make a bad first impression on Serena's sister. He then reached out his finger and activated the door bell.

                             "Fisherman?" Dekker was shocked. Although the fisherman, Antonio, hadn't realized yet. Dekker knew his identity as the Gold Ranger. This meant this was the headquarters of the Power Rangers... And Serena had some relation to them. Dekker strongly suspected that she was sisters with one of the Samurai Rangers.
