Rangers Rise Again

Chapter Seven: A New Foe?

The doors of the Command Center were busted open. The group ran inside immediately. That call was made for a reason, and it was time to find out why. Once they were all in the room, they saw Gosei had awoken and Tensou near the panel. He swerved around in an instant. Seeing all the members of the team relaxed him a little. He rolled over to them quickly.

"Oh boy! This looks bad! No good associated with it or anything!" Tensou panicked.

"Well, nice to see nothing's changed." Gia commented.

Emma nodded.

"You may think so, but something definitely has." Gosei spoke.

The shine of the keys grabbed everyone's attention. Each one right after the other burned with light. It was incredibly dazzling and strong. With this happening, they didn't know what to think. They've never been this powerful before. Was it bad? You couldn't even tell.

"Woah." Jake reacted.

"This is freaky. Have they ever been so bright?" Emma wondered.

Gia walked and took a glance at each key.

"You think the past Rangers have something to do with this?" Orion asked.

"It has to be them. Right? I mean, they can contact through their keys and signal us." Noah replied.

He walked to the middle.

"Right? Gosei?" He questioned.

The mentor was silent as a sigh came from him.

"I don't think it's that." Gosei disagreed.

"What the heck." Jake silently said to himself.

Troy, the true silent soldier of the group, couldn't even stare at the keys. Gia was taking his spot of doing that. The same two occurrences outside had followed him in. Pain. Growing pain from the chest area. The light that was hidden was now nearly almost presentable.

"Another threat has landed on Earth." Gosei finally started.

Everyone looked up.

"He brings only himself, but unfortunately, that's enough as it is." Gosei informed.

"Are you serious?" Gia asked.

"Wait, why would he come alone? You can't take over a world by yourself." Orion added in.

"Apparently he can. His father has done things worse than him. You defeated him Rangers. He has revenge in his heart. A vendetta." Gosei stated.

"So did Orion." Emma responded.

The others looked at her.

"But he knows that's not going to solve what they started. And now, their gone." She finished.

Orion smiled.

"Yes. But, not everyone sees the same way you do Emma." Gosei replied to that.

The pink ranger nodded.

"This threat...he wants more. More than just your powers." Gosei continued.

"How do you know?" Noah inquired.

Troy slowly made his way to his friends. Jake was the first to notice something was off with him. In fact, everything seemed off with him today.

"I can feel it. His presence was detected immediately after he arrived. I got a reading, and it's not good." Gosei answered.

"Oh my god. What does he want? Look, aliens wanted Rangers gone since...FOREVER! What's the difference now?" Jake quizzed.

"That's a question I cannot answer. All I found was him, with a much bigger plan than most evil aliens would've came up with." Gosei retorted.

Jake sighed. By now, the keys should've died down. However, something else began to occur. The blue keys were singled out. With it came along the silver and red keys. The three were powered up greatly as the other colors faded. That's what changed the atmosphere in the room. And that's when the light came in contact with another one.

"Looks like we know who the strongest ones are." Jake joked.

Gia crossed her arms.

"Why are these three still glowing? It should be done." She said.

"There must be a lot of power stored up. Something else is in them. Something that the others don't have." Noah repiled.

The energy only increased within the key. Along with it came pain for the red ranger. The more the key glowed, the more Troy felt pain. It was as if something was bursting through his body with great force. The moment grew more bizarre and anxious by the second. The aching feeling ripped throughout his stomach as he screamed. Only hearing the beat of his own heart, the ranger had fell to the ground with a large thud.

"Troy!" Orion yelled.

He and the others rushed over.

"Oh no!" Tensou said.

"Get a bed quick!" Noah ordered.

The robot went to do just that. Troy held back anymore loud or ear piercing screams he had. The pain was horrible to feel and watch. This went on for minutes, but for the red ranger, it felt like hours. Then, as if it was a miracle, he felt it slowly wither away. It wasn't completely gone, but he could at least move. Noah and Gia helped him up as the bed was ready.

"Are you-"

"Yes." Troy replied almost immediately.

Emma sighed. He proceeded to go and lay down on the bed. Noah began to set up the scans. Emma joined him as Orion and Jake went over to Troy. Gia stood by Tensou. She had her arms crossed. Who the heck is doing this? How is this happening? What are they up against that they may not even win?

Author's Note: What? You didn't expect me to just tell you, did you? I know this story seems mainly Troy based, but this is all build up for what's to come. All of the characters are going to be brought out. Their families will finally be in the mix and some will be...surprising. But, that's only if I continue to write for Legendary Force. Comment below and tell me what you think.
