Power Rangers Jewelite

The Count Returns

It was late at night and pretty dark out.
"Thanks for coming though Carlos!" a man in a blue top smiled. He looked a little younger than Carlos probably by a few years.

"No problem" he replied happily "I don't mind hanging out once in a while Justin. It's always worth a little catch up for old times sake. I didn't realise that you lived here now though" he picked his bag up.

"It's a shame you have to leave already, I mean come on! What's the point of inviting both of you if one of you leaves early?" Carlos shrugged.

"I've got a class to teach tomorrow. Besides by now Justin you should know that vampire films aren't my thing, isn't that right?!" Carlos called into the house.

"Yup!" A voice called back "we all know what happened last time you two watched scary movie's together" The former blue ranger smirked and looked at his friend jokingly.

"Count Nocturne come to suck your blood!" He said in a mock count Dracula voice "You guys still never admitted I was right about the Vampire thing though" Carlos turned to walk away and after a small chuckle said to his friend:

"And we never will"

Carter sat in the park. It was the usual time for Carlos to be arriving but he wasn't here yet. It wasn't too strange but still.

Then in the distance he saw the man running quickly.
"Carlos! Good morning!"
"Morning Carter" the older man chucked his bag onto the ground "sorry, did I keep you waiting?"

"Not really"

"We won't get much training time today though because I was late"

"Not a big deal. Just hanging with you is fun" then noticing the man's sluggish actions he commented "not much sleep last?"

"Well, I went home a bit late after watching that movie with a couple of my friends. I figured I'd be a little tired but...I couldn't get to sleep last night now I'm struggling to keep my eyes open" he frowned a little. The whole situation was familiar but he couldn't pinpoint exactly where he remembered it from.

"Well, you shouldn't nap. I bet if you manage to stay awake all day then by time the night comes you'll collapse and sleep all night!" Carlos nodded rubbing his eyes a little.

"Yeah, probably"

Carter smiled. Carter's morpher suddenly went off.
"Carter, I apologise if you're busy" He smiled at Carlos who stayed silent.

"I'm not, what's up?"

"Well, you see...I've picked up a new monster"

"Oh? Why do you sound so nervous?"

"Well...the thing is I do not believe it is possible for this monster to exist"

"What?"

"Because it was defeated long, long ago...which means she's using the Zircon"

"Have you told the others?" Carter asked sitting down, Carlos followed listening closely.

"Not yet, I haven't been able to get into contact with them. Most are not awake or must not be near their morpher'

Carter peeked at his watch.
"That makes sense, it is kinda early" Carter started to talk seriously "What's the monster? If she's revived a past one then I might be able to find out how to beat it?"

"It is a creature called Count Nocturne" Carter raised an eyebrow.

"I've not heard of that one, Ngadria and I have been looking at the history in bits and pieces"
