Charity convinced Lucy to try to decide between Lamont and Blade when she had a vision about the Yellow Time Device. They tracked Dark Parallax down, and Lucy gained her Ranger power. Being a Ranger sounds like fun.</I></P> <P ALIGN="RIGHT"><I>Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald</I></P> <P ALIGN="left"><B>From Miguel’s POV</P> <P>Monday, January 10, 2050</P> </B> <P>I awoke that morning and got ready for school. I said, "Good morning" to my older sister Theresa and our older brother Luis. Then I said, "Morning" to our mama.</P> <P>Theresa said, "Have a great day at school."</P> <P>I said, "I will." I gave her a hug and walked off to school.</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <P>Blade yelled, "Yo Lamont, we have to get going for school."</P> <P>Lamont was praying when he looked up. "I’m sorry, my mind was else where."</P> <P>Blade said, "You’ve been doing the spiritual stuff a lot lately."</P> <P>Lamont said, "When I was younger, I used to do it a lot. You know my friends once called me the Stealth Photographer, but that’s not really important. I lost touch with my spiritual side, but a lot has happened. I’ve literally been given a second chance at life. This time I’m not going to waste it."</P> <P>Blade said, "I hear ya man."</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <P>"Four of the Time Devices have been found. For your sake, they better not find the Red one." Daniel exclaimed.</P> <P>Dark Parallax said, "For you I will not allow the Red Time Device to be found."</P> <P>Magical said, "He said for your sake. Those five basic weaklings can’t harm the two of us, but once they learn how to unlock their powers, they’ll have the ability to destroy you."</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <P>I arrived at the school at sat in the Senior Lounge. I was going to meet my friend Lucy there to talk about what college we were going to go to next year.</P> <P>Lucy said, "I’m thinking of going to Yale. This town is getting crazier."</P> <P>I said, "I know what you mean. By the way, what did Charity help you find a while ago?"</P> <P>Lucy said, "Um, well."</P> <P>I said, "It’s a secret, right?"</P> <P>Lucy smiled and said; "You can say that."</P> <P>I said, "So Charity tells me that there are a couple of guys in your life."</P> <P>Lucy said, "Ya, there are."</P> <P>I said, "She also tells me that you are having a hard time deciding between the two of them."</P> <P>Lucy said, "I’m going to go out with Blade in one week. Then I go out with Lamont a week later. I will make a decision."</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <P>Dark Parallax said, "I have to be careful. I can only use a limited number of Merger Creatures. So I will have to create robots. Mondo, come forth."</P> <P>Mondo appeared and said, "How may I serve you Master?"</P> <P>Dark Parallax said, "King Daniel and Queen Magical are in need of assistance. I have been ordered to destroy the Rainbow Warriors. I need your robots."</P> <P>Mondo said, "I have just the one. Trash Man, come here."</P> <P>Trash Man appeared and said, "Yes Master?"</P> <P>Mondo said, "My master’s masters need you to destroy the Power Rangers."</P> <P>Trash Man said, "Why me. You’ve destroyed the Zeo Rangers before."</P> <P>Mondo said, "Cause These are the Power Rangers, Rainbow Warriors. They have secret Powers we can’t yet comprehend."</P> <P>Daniel appeared and said, "He is right. Our servant Tom Yolk set the plan into motion for us; all thanks to the DVD that Statue left after the Digital Rangers defeated him. Each one before us, has set the pieces for us now."</P> <P>Magical appeared and said, "Unfortunately as our side gets stronger, the balance is always kept. So the Forces of goodness also get stronger. Right now our side has the advantage, cause Tom changed the course of history, by wiping our foe Lamont out of existence. But thanks to the Last Hope Rangers he is back and we only have a limited amount of time to fulfil our master’s plan before he, Blade and the other two reach their full powers."</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <P>I walked down the street when I saw this strange looking robot holding a Red looking electronic device. As I got closer the device seem to shake.</P> <P>Trash Man said, "So you must be the Red Ranger. I am Trash Man. I will be your downfall. To bad I have this and you can’t morph." Then he lunged at me.</P> <P>I ducked out of the way, and gave Trash Man a good punch. When I did a strange thing happened. I strange red symbol appeared over my heart.</P> <P>Just then a heard a voice that said, "That symbol on your heart is the Symbol of Courage. You are the current keeper of the Spirit of Courage. To use your powers you must say Sprit of Courage Activate."</P> <P>I took a deep breath and said, "Spirit of Courage Activate!"</P> <P>A light shot out from the symbol on my heart and engulfed me. When the light died down I was wearing a Red Knight’s outfit.</P> <P>Trash Man said, "What’s that?"</P> <P>I said, "Your destruction." Then I punched him. The punch was so powerful that it shattered him into robotic pieces. "You don’t see that every day."</P> <P>I heard something and turned to see Lamont, Blade, Kari, Shawn, Stephanie, and Lucy. My armor seemed to disappear and I picked up the Red device and it started to glow in my hand.</P> <P>Lucy said, "We have some things to discus."</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <P>Magical said, "Now let me get this strait. Not only did Miguel retrieve the Red Time Device, but the Spirit of Courage has been activated?"</P> <P>Dark Parallax said, "It looks like it."</P> <P>Magical said, "You better pray that the other spirits stay doormat. Cause if they don’t. You better pray for the Rangers to kill you, cause you won’t want to come back here."</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <P>I said, "My Red Ranger powers were awesome."</P> <P>Encarta said, "Those weren’t the Ranger Powers."</P> <P>"Huh?" Blade said.</P> <P>LeAnn said, "The Ranger Powers come from the Merger Crystal/Diamonds inside the Time Devices. But in each of you there is also a Spirit. That spirit can activate an armor that’s the same color as your powers."</P> <P>Kari said, "What are they?"</P> <P>Encarta said, "Miguel has the Spirit of Courage. Shawn has the Spirit of Friendship. Stephanie has the Spirit of Sincerity. Lucy has the Spirit of Love. Blade has the Spirit of Power. Lamont has the Spirit of Hope. While you Kari have the Spirit of Light."</P> <P>Lamont said, "This is great and all, but when will the Five Basic Ranger Powers be activated?"</P> <P>Alpha Seven said, "In two days."</P> <P>Lamont said, "Until then we have to be on guard."</P> <p><center>~*~</center></p> <B> <P>The Docks at the Miami River</P> </B> <P>Helena Cassadine was standing on the pier.
