LOCATION - UNDERWORLD
Koragg walks along a dark hall. He's deep in thought.
'There are only four rangers. They have no red ranger. Maybe the power of fire was destroyed in the war'
'No. It wasn't destroyed. The power of light live on in the Platinum Knight and he's duty is to protect the red ranger so there must be a red ranger somewhere'
'I have to find that red ranger but how?'
'Wait, that's it'

LOCATION - ROCK PODIUM
The rangers and knight are all in the record store. The shop wasn't as busy as it usually was and they have nothing to do but the usual goofing around.
Vida is using the equipments and dancing to her beats.
Chip is reading another Captain America comic.
Xander is reading a magazine
Maddie is cleaning her camera
Glen is putting together a thousand and one puzzle pieces
"Want help with that?" Maddie asks sitting opposite her
"Mm" Glen replies still concentrating on the piece he was holding "It's magical and I've only ever been able to fix half of it with...." He stops talking and goes still
"With who?" Xander asks having stops reading his magazine and was listening to the conversation
Glen shook his head
"It's no one you guys will know" he said "He was my best friend"
"Was?" Maddie asks "You guys don't talk to each other anymore?"
Glen looks up from the puzzle piece
"I haven't seen him in thirteen years so..." He trailed off
"That sucks" Chip put in "I don't know what I'll do if I don't see V for the next thirteen years"
"You'll freak if you don't see her everyday" Xander says and Chip shrug
The front door open and Blade walks in
Vida stop playing and comes down from the raised platform.
"Blade?" She asks somewhat surprise the girl was there. The others walk up to her "What are you doing here, I thought you have some serious studying to do"
"I did but I had to come here cause ever since I came into this town, weird things have been happening. Ever since I met you guys..." She looks at Glen "... except for you. I haven't met you before"
"Great and since I'm not included in this conversation, I'll just excuse myself" Glen says and walks to the back of the store
Blade turn back to the rangers
"Okay, I didn't want to admit it but ever since I met you guys, strange things have been happening" she says
"What kind of strange things?" Xander asks
"To begin, the old man in the woods who's brother we were helping to look for. Then, after I left, you guys didn't return here till about an hour later" Blade says
"We got lost in the woods" Vida quickly says and the others nod in reply
"Really? And all those stuff about witches? You guys acted strange when I joked about it" Blade says
"Um..." the rangers all say trying to come up with an explanation of some sort but nothing
"Listen, I wouldn't have come here if something wasn't really wrong. Lately, I've been feeling like someone is watching and it's affecting my studying and sleep. I can't continue living like this and that's why I came here" Blade says sounding a little desperate
"Blade..we don't...." Vida stop talking when a phone began ringing
Blade took out her phone and sighed
"It's my aunt, I have to go" she says and looked up at the ground again
"Look, I know something is up and you guys know about it. You can trust me" she says and before any of the rangers could reply, she walk out of the door
Glen walk back to them
"She's observant. I like her" he says
"Glen, Blade was with us in the woods but left before the hidiacs arrived" Xander begins
"What are the chances Koragg knows there were five of us and not four?" Vida continued
Glen shrug thoughtfully
"I don't know. I mean there is a chance he or something else saw her. There is no way of knowing for sure" he says
"But if he knew, what would he do to her?" Chip ask worried
"If Koragg have a inch of suspicion about Blade being a potential red ranger, he'll probably attack before she becomes the red ranger" Glen says
Immediately he finish talking, a scream was heard startling the rangers
They all rush to the door and open it to see Blade trying to fight off a group of hidiacs
"I'll say most definitely" Maddie says alarmed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION - ROCK PODIUM
"Let's get in there" Xander says
The ranger run out of store and across the street to help Blade
Glen is about to join them when his morpher beeps and he took it out. It was just like the others but his was white. He open the latch and place it against his ear
"Glen, there is dark energy at the beach." Udonna says
"Okay. I'll head there now" Glen answers and close the morpher. He rush out of the record store
He look across the street where the others were getting rid of the hidiacs
"Maddie, Chip" he calls out for the yellow and blue rangers. They look over at him and he hold up his morpher and point at it
The others got it and Vida turn to her sister and best friend
"Go ahead. We've got this guys" she says to them
"Okay" Maddie says and together with Chip make they're way out of the fight and over to Glen
"Udonna called. Something's going on at the beach" Glen says
The three ran off towards the beach
"Where are they going?!" Blade ask/yell as she kick a hidiac. It fell into the tree and slump on the ground
"Um...they have to go...." Xander trail off not knowing what to tell her. "..to the beach"
Blade grab Hidiac right hand and shot Xander a disbelieving look
"To the beach? To do what?" She ask and punch the footsoldier
"Um..to..you know..." Xander says looking at Vida
"Blade, stop asking questions" Vida says and kick another footsoldier. She look around. Just a few more and they'll be done
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION - THE BEACH
Glen, Chip and Madison arrives at the beach. They look around and saw no monster
"There's no monster here" Chip says
"Glen, are you sure we're supposed to be at the beach?" Maddie asks
"That's what Udonna said" Glen reply
He's about to take out his morpher to call Udonna when they suddenly get blasted off their feets
They fall on the ground with groans and moans of pain
"He he he" the monster laughs. It had a black head resembling a beetle and multicolored body and was holding long black blaster.
"Way to make an entrance" Glen groan and pull himself up.
The others get up to ignoring their aching bodies
"I'm bluster and I'll leave the city alone if you, Platinum Knight, answer one question" Bluster says
The rangers look at each other
"What question?" Glen ask
Buster holds his blaster against his neck
"Where is the red ranger?" He asks
Glen physically flinch and it didn't go unnoticed his friends.
"Well?" Buster asks impatiently.
"I'll give you an answer" Glen stated and before anyone could react, he morph an hold out his sword. He charge with Maddie and Vida yelling for him to stop
Glen doesn't look back and he slashed at the monster giving it no chance to fight back or defend itself.
Something suddenly knocked into him make the knights stumble sideways and Buster enough time to move away holding it's right arm.
"What the hell?!" Glen asks angrily looking at the yellow ranger whom had pushed him
"Glen, calm down" Maddie says
Just then Xander and Vida arrived both morphed and confused
"Calm down? You guys let that freak get away" Glen snap at her.
They all de-morph and Vida look like she was ready to jump in and defend her twin even if she doesn't know what was going on.
Xander however wasn't going to step in without knowing what was going on.
"Woah, what's going on here?"
Chip, Maddie and Glen all turned to the green ranger with heated stares.
Xander takes a defensive step back and raise both hands
"Forget I ever asked" he said
Maddie turned back to Glen
"It wasn't I or Chip's fault buster got away. You were acting like you've lost your mind" she said
Xander's jaw dropped open. Is this the same soft-spoken girl who won't ever raise her voice on anyone no matter what they did?!
"Maybe I did lose my mind. Maybe I wanted to give that thing exactly what it deserves." Glen says
"Why? Cause he mentioned your friend? We've all lost someone in the past but you don't see us doing what you did back there" Chip said
And again Xander's jaw drop
Since when did Chip become smart enough to make such a strong statement?!
The anger in Glen's eyes died down a bit
"No, you heard you lost someone but you didn't actually see it happen" he says. He turns around and began walking away in the opposite direction.
Maddie open her mouth to say something but the Platinum Knight vanish into thin air.
She sigh and turn to Vida and Xander.
"Well that was intanse"
Startled by the new voice, the four rangers turn around and their eyes went wide
"What? You didn't expect me to not follow you guys did you?" Blade asks Xander and Vide with a smug smile.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION - THE BEACH
"Blade! What the hell are you doing here?" Vida asks walking closer to the girl
"I told you to stay in rock poirum or go home"
"So you guys could keep lying to me?" Blade asks her hands folded in front of her. "When were you going to tell me you're a power ranger?"
"Never. It was supposed to stay a secret" Vida replies
Blade hands drop to her side and she looks down hurt that Vida could keep such a secret from her.
"I told you I was being followed. That wasn't enough reason to tell me?"
Vida shook her head
"Sorry Blade, but rangers are not supposed to reveal their identify to anyone no matter what" she turn back to her team "We're going to have to erase her memory again"
"What?!" Blade yells grabbing Vida's left arm and turns her around now back to being angry
"You've erased my memory before?!"
"Yes. You know too much" Vida said pulling her hand away, she turned back to the rest leaving Blade speechless.
"We need a plan. Glen is in god knows where, the monster is still out there and we have a human who knows our secret identity" Vida says to them
"I can go look for Glen. He won't be that hard to find since his morpher is on him" Maddie says
"You're sure about that?" Chip asks
"Yes" Maddie replies
"Okay, Xander and I can try to find the monster and Chip, take Blade to Udonna to have her memory erased" Vida says
"You're sure about..."
"I'm sure!" Vida snaps cutting off Chip.
"Okay! Gee, why's everyone yelling today?" Chip asked as everyone departed to do their assign duty.
Chip turns to Blade to has her hands folded again with a determined expression on her face.
"You're not taking me anywhere" She stated
"I kinda have to and there is nothing you can do about it. I'm the ranger here" Chip says stepping closer again.
"Okay then, have a sandwich" Blade says unfolding her hands
Chip opens his mouth to ask something but Blade kicks sand into his face
Chip yelled and fell on the ground trying to get the sand out if his face. Sand-wich. How didn't he see that coming?
Blade looks sorry
"Sorry Chip but I'm not getting my memory taken from me again" she said and ran away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION - UNDERWORLD
Koragg angrily slash at Buster who barely dodge in time to escape the sharp blade of his angry master.
They're both in a cave in the underworld away from the others.
"I'm sorry but the Platinum Knight was very angry. I could have not survive if I hadn't ran away" Buster beg
Koragg grab him by his neck
"If you don't want to die by my sword, go back to the surface world and capture the Platinum Knight! Am I understood?" He growls at the insect monster.
"But that's impossible" Buster said desperate for his master to understand
Koragg anger level only manage to rise and his voice becomes lower and more threatening
"Am I understood?" He asks again
Buster swallows hard
"Yes"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION - ROOT CORD
All the rangers are back in the base after almost an hour of searching through the city and woods. They're all exhausted.
"That monster seams to have vanished from the surface of the earth" Vida says faustrated
"Maybe it's under the earth" Chip says to himself
"Did you bring Blade here already?" Vida asks him
Chip rub his neck nervously. He still had sand in his hair and on his neck but not enough to be easily noticed
"Um, she ran away" he says
"She what?!" Vida yells at him
Chip takes two steps back
"She poured sand on my face and ran away" he says trying to defend himself
"And you just let her go? You couldn't run after her?" Vida asks
"He said he had sand on his face V, how was he supposed to run after her and why do you want Blade's memory erased so badly? It's not like she would expose it to the world" Xander asks
Udonna and Clare walk into the base from and over hear their conversation.
"What are you all talking about? Who's Blade? Where's Glen and have the monster been found yet?" Udonna asks
The rangers turn to her. They hadn't expected her to be back from gathering herbs yet
"Umm"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION - SOMEWHERE IN THE WOODS
Blade jumps over a fallen tree branch. She look around. This part of the wood was exceptionally quite. She doesn't know how she got her but she had found footprints a while back and follow it.
"Dumb dumb dumb" she said under her breath and cross over another branch.
A branch snapped ahead if her and she stopped. Another branch snapped then another and another
Blade quickly followed the sound and arrives at a clearing. She saw the back of Glen's lather jacket and sighed
"You're one difficult boy to find Glen whatever your last name is"
Glen snorts but doesn't look at her.
"I thought you could have been brainwashed by now, Blade whatever your last name is" he says without turning back. He picks up a twig and snaps it in two then throws them in the pile lying by his feet.
"I ran away" Blade says walking closer to him. She sits next to him on the long tree branch he is sitting on.
Glen turned to her with a raised eyebrow.
"Chip was supposed to take me to someone so I kicked sand on his face and ran away" Blade says and pushed her hair behind her ear.
Glen eyes lit up and he laughs
"You--You kicked sand in his face?" He asks
Blade grins
"What? I wasn't going to get my memory again"
"You never fail to impress me Blade" Glen says "But why are you here?"
"I was looking for you" Blade replies "I guess I just need someone to talk to about all this"
Glen hums in reply
"I get you"
Blade blows out a faustrated breath
"I mean, why is Vida so kneed on having my memory erased. I thrust her. I never thought she'll be the one to suggest something like that" she says
"Vida is probably scared" Glen says
"Scared of what? I'd never tell anyone" Blade says
"I know you won't." Glen says with a nod
"Vida doesn't seem to think so" Blade says. She rest her chin on her knees and stare at the cold ground
"Do you mind telling me why those things attacked me earlier?"
"The bad guys believe you're a potential red ranger" was Glen's reply without hesitation. He didn't see the need to lie to her after all it is her life which was in danger.
Blade eyes widen and she shot up into a proper sitting position and stared at him for a few seconds
"What?! They think I'm the red ranger?!" She yells
"And there goes my earing" Glen says sarcastically
"Sorry but why would anyone think I'm a red ranger? Do I look like a guy to you?" Blade asks
"No, but you sure act like one" Glen replies "I won't be surprised if they get confused"
Blade ignores his statement. She have come to realize that Glen is a very sarcastic person so she doesn't think much of his words
"Have you ever met a female red ranger before? Ever?"
"There haven't been that many ranger teams so no. And relax, I know you're not the red ranger" Glen replies
"How would you know?" Blade asks not convinced
"Let's just say I have a special kind connection with the mystic force red ranger. If that magic is in you, I'll be the first to know"
Blade nods not understanding in all but not wanting to push the topic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION - ROOT CORD
The rangers are starting before Udonna and Clare. Udonna looks worried as she looks through the magic ball trying to find the Platinum Knight.
She sighed
"Any luck?" Xander asks
"No. Wherever Glen is, he doesn't want to be found" Udonna says looking away from the ball
"Poor Glen, that monster hit very close to home"
Maddie worries her buttom lip. She can't decide whether to ask about the red ranger or not. For one, she didn't want to get the kind of reaction Glen gave but she was also very curious.
"Why don't we have a red ranger?"
Everyone turn to the person who had ask the question. With all eyes on him, Chip wish he had just shut his mouth.
Vida nods, stepping up to support him
"Chip's right, why don't we have a red ranger? Every other team has one right?, why don't we?" She asks Udonna
Udonna looks at the team and Clare. She has been hoping this question won't come up or at least come up a little later.
"The mystic force red ranger was my husband. He was destroyed in the war' and his power pass down to our child."
Udonna stops talking and looks away from the teenagers. The memories are too painful for her.
"Bowen went missing during the war. No one knows what happened to him, not even Glen who had been with him. When we found Glen after the war, he didn't know what had happened to Bowen" Clare finish off her teacher's story.
"Oh" Vida and Chip both say.
"So that means we'll never have a red ranger?" Xander asks after a moment of silence
"No" Udonna replies "The magic of fire was drawn back to the morphing grid. When the time is right, it will be released back into the world. Another will be chosen to be the red ranger"
"How long is that?" Maddie asks
"When the time is right" Udonna replies and walks away.
The rangers gather round the table
"When the time is right?! That could be years!" Vida complain
"Well, the last guardian of the morphing grid passed on his powers to the first red ranger. The Dino Force red ranger, Nathan Lincoln" Clara says to them
"Then let's find him and ask him to give back to fire magic" Xander says
"Yeah" the others but Maddie agree
Maddie shakes her head.
"I think we'll have a better chance destroying every monster in the same day than finding the guardian of the morphing grid guys" she says
"Do you always have to be the voice of reason?" Xander asks
"Guys!" Clara gasp
The rangers turn to her and their eyes widened as the crystal ball showed dark energy inside it.
"That has to be the monster from earlier." Xander said
"Let's go"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION - SOMEWHERE IN THE WOODS
Blade and Glen are talking about random stuff. Blade mostly talk about her education and Glen was a great listener.
They occasionally fall into silence and it was never uncomfortable.
For now, Blade forget about the stress of everything that had happened in the last few days and enjoy being in the knights company.
Glen had summoned a mat and they were sitting on it with Blade resting her head on his lap.
Glen notice his emotions is more in check with her around and for once, he didn't feel like a giant mood ball.
The silence in the woods is suddenly interrupted by the snap of a twig and a grown
The teens are quick to get on their feet.
"Stay here" Glen says and began to walk away.
Blade grab his hand
"Be careful" she says and let him go.
Glen nods once and goes off to inspect the noise.
He walk further away from her but still doesn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Suddenly, his blood run cold and sharply turns around as a realization dawn to him. It was a trick.
Just as that thought registration it's in his head, an ear deafening scream broke through the woods.
"No" Glen said and broke into a mad dash for the open space he had left Blade only to find her on the ground and with a bleeding head.
"A little too late Platinum Knight" Buster laughs
Glen's magic build up inside him along with his anger. His hands begin emitting white light
"You're dead" were his words before he brought both hands together.
The light on both hands merge together into a bright ball of light and he groaned. His magic is tearing him up inside and he knows he should stop now but he doesn't.
That freak hurt Blade.
Glen gathers enough strength to throw the ball of light magic at Buster.
"Oh no" Buster said and the magic hit him square on the chest.
Buster screams and yells in pain as the magic rip through it's body structure. By the time the monster explode in a flash of white light, Glen is already out cold on the ground with black blood from his nose.
The rangers arrive and we're terrified, Vida the most.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION - UNKNOWN
Everywhere is white and quite. Blade and Glen find themselves here just as suddenly as they had black out in the world they know.
"Where are we?" Blade asks Glen and her voice echoes twice.
"How'd I know. You've been here longer than I have" Glen says sounding bored
"You're.. you're bleeding" Blade says staring at Glen's nose "You're bleeding black blood"
Glen raise his hand to his nose. He touch the wet liquid and looks at it.
"Damn it" he says. Remembering that Blade was injured too, he turns her face to the side
"You're bleeding too"
Blade touch the side of her head.
"It doesn't even hurt" she says
A white light flash temporarily blinding them
"Hello" A majestic voice says, calm yet frightening.
They both look at the man in front of them
"Dino Force Red?" Glen asks surprised
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION - ROOT CORD
Vida is pacing back and forth in front of Blade's bed. She stops and look at a still unconscious Blade. When the girl didn't move, she continues pacing.
"Seriously Vida, sit down" Xander says with a sigh
"Sit down?" Vida asks "This is all my fault"
"I don't see how this is your fault" Maddie says
Vida walks to a chair and sits. She sigh
"If I hadn't wanted her memory erased so badly, she probably won't have run off"
"Why did you want her memory erased anyway." Xander asks
"Yeah, I thought you'd be the only one against it" Chip says
"I guess--i guess I was scared" Vida replies
"Of what?" Maddie asks
"I really don't know" Vida says
A movement on the bed caught all their attention and everyone rush to the two unconscious teens.
Glen is the first to move. He jerk up from the bed and gasp, drawing in a long breath of air like he had almost drown and begins coughing furiously.
"Glen!"
Maddie rush off to get water
Chip and Xander helps Glen sit up properly and Xander hits him on the back to help stop the coughing.
Vida turns to Blade and looks at her still unmoving body.
"She's not waking up, why isn't she waking up?" She asks
The three guys turn to her and their eyes call on Blade
Glen gets up from the bed, staggering a bit and grabbing onto Blade's bed to get his footing.
Immediately his hand touch Blade's, she jerked up with a start.
"Blade!" Vida helped her sit probably.
Blade however, waved her hand dismissingly
"Best experience ever" she said, a grin appearing on her face
"What do you mean?" Udonna asked walked into the room with Clara
Blade turned to her to
"Well, I met the first ranger, the red dino ranger and a lot of previous red rangers" she started "They made me one of them"
