The Adventure Continues

Wings of Danger

Adelaide gaped at Zenowing has he finished his story.

"You're kidding me," said Chase, equally as surprised.

"You built the Zords?" Shelby asked, edging around her two friends to get a better look at Zenowing.

"I had too," Zenowing answered. "I traced Keeper to Earth. But only found the Silver Energem. The others were still hidden, so I built the Zords to protect them. I designed them to awaken when their Energems bonded to someone."

"When we discovered our first Zord, I suspected it was your work," Keeper said, turning to his old friend. "I am so glad you're back."

"Unfortunately, there's no time to celebrate," Zenowing said, his demeanor changing quickly. "I must get the Silver Energem back."

Riley frowned and jumped to his feet. "Wait, Zenowing, where are you going?" he asked.

"To prepare to battle Doomwing."

"We'll go with you," Tyler suggested.

"No," Zenowing said, holding up a claw. "I must do this myself. You'll only get in my way." He turned and left the base.

Adelaide folded her arms and pouted. "Rude," she accused.

"He thinks they'll be a nuisance?" Sasha asked, turning to Keeper.

"Zenowing's spirit has been infected by Doomwing for centuries," Keeper explained. "Be patient, as he remembers the value of teamwork."

Tyler nodded. "Okay, Keeper," he agreed. He then turned to his friends. "Just because Zenowing refuses to train with us, doesn't mean we can't train together. Come on, let's get to work."

Adelaide giggled and jumped up onto Chase's back. "Playtime!" she cheered, spurring the Black Ranger towards the back of the lab.

The others smiled and shook their heads. By this point they were used to Adelaide's ways, so weren't that really bothered by her actions.

"She's a nuisance," Kendall said to Sasha.

"Tell me something I don't," Sasha replied.

~X~

"Ready?" Chase asked Tyler and Shelby. They both nodded. Chase then proceeded to throw the rock in his hands into the air. It arched high into the sky before exploding.

"I hit it!" Shelby and Tyler cheered simultaneously. They paused to turned to one another. "No, I hit it!" they said together, again. They growled and narrowed their eyes. "Stop copying me!"

Adelaide giggled. "They're as oblivious as we apparently are, hotshot," she teased, once again jumping up into Chase's back.

Chase chuckled and hoisted her up higher. "Not anymore," he corrected.

"True," Adelaide said.

Just then a commotion from nearby caught their attention.

"What was that?" Philip asked, turning to the sound.

"It's coming from over there," Riley said. He and Ivan stepped away from one another, lowering their swords as they walked towards the sound. The others followed them, each one passing into a second clearing to find Zenowing training.

"Silver Prism Slash!"

Adelaide gasped, her eyes widening in pure fascination.

Zenowing paused, his feathers seemed ruffled, and he then turned to the other Rangers. "Spying on me?" he accused.
