"see he's harmless," Wood declared with a grin.

Nathan shook his head, in disbelief.

"Well i'll be off then, " Tommy declared, "is everyone there ?" he asked eagerly. He knew he'd heard Cat and Billy.

Lammy made the Zord adavance again

Tai swing the sword again, a different direction now
--

Taran propped up slightly and looked at Autumn raising a brow. He'd merely laid down not passed out. "You ok?" he asked with concern
--

"Ah, I see. In triguing. So..how many?" he asked. "Or do you not know yourself?" he asked

Autumn blinked sleepily, and nodded, " I think i'm just tired, think i might go home," gees she must be tired not realising anyone was still awake, Autumn yawned and sat briefly on a medi bed, she was doing her coat back up though ready to go home, her eyelids heavy , she was fighting to keep her eyes open.

"Three," Mariko grinned, "we're a full circle," she smilled cheekily, "I think i know better than Rei or Zita does,"

Taran stood up and eyed her a moment then cupped her face in his hands. "Are you sure you're ok?" he asked, spidey senses were out of control. Of coarse he could just be overlreatcing to a bit of tiredness but he didn't think so

i'm gonna assume someone else is going to answer Tommy cuz i dun rember who he was talking to o_O exactly

--

Griff nodded slightly. "I see. But are you whole as one or different wholes?" he asked. "I would think the body would be a bit crowded with three full souls, but I've never encountered such a thing, so I wouldn't genuinely know."

"Sure i'll be fine....," Autumn muterred her word slurring , her eyes closed and she finally started to fall backwards asleep. She was so out of it she hadn't really took in Taran's caring hands around her face.

Billy hardly looked from a monitor, "Finally run out of Stamina I think, some sort of mutant power of the green's , problem is they just end up pushing themselves to hard, " Billy started to turn round, "Poor Autumn got the real Zita not just the duplicate to fight."

"Ah, different mostly , I think, " she really wasn't sure , "I think we was born triplets or at least meant to be, something happened," Mariko was becoming more and more solid by the moment.

Sora clutched at his head and moaned slightly

Taran nodded and gently laid her down on the bed and pulled her legs up as well, and pulled off the coat she'd been trying to get into. "Best to let her rest then," he declared and used the coat as a bit of covers and then went back to his own bed.
--

Griff blinked. "Are you supposed to be...going corporeal?" he asked with some concern

is she nakie? o_O just general curiosity

Autumn lay completely unawares, first time in ages she's slept properly,


Winter to was still completely in dreamland,


Billy nodded, "i think'll i'll go catch up on stuff and leave you all to rest ," he said leaving the field.

Autumn rolled over in her sleep, "Taran," she muttered , she seemed to be asleep , just dream talking.



never though , doesn't matter she can be in the buff or a halfway house between rei and zita's clothes,


"Am I , brilliant," she declared, "this shoud be more fun," she grinned menacingly.

Ryla waited for the split scond before the blade hit, thn pushed the level to max, ,letting the power surge out ...

Half armed Rex roared as the blade sliced him clean theough the stuffing, his head lopped off, but exploded into an ash of white, dissolving in the air, among an explosion in the air, though it didn't really cause much damage around ...

Zoe pumped her fists i nthe air, "Yes! Rex is dead!" she grinned again, she had an odd sens of humor regarding the bears name ...

--

Charlie grinned to the little kid, and huged her, before saying she needed to go, she was tired and needed rest to beat the bad guys next time. Charlie walked out behind the barrier and demprphed. Sending a cute grin to Taren and Autumn, she pressed her wrist, "Yes Dr. O, Kim is here ... and so are the rest of us ..." she smirked a bit, "And did I hear the voice of Trent Mercer? Chico, you there?"

Yes, she could have phoned him, if she hadn't lsot all her numbers in the move, stupid trucks ...

--

Renzo had moved to brood at his throne, the loss of his monster stinging ... before a thought struck him. He wved his staff, and a large tomb tudded in to his lap. he grinterd, before flipping throuh the pgases, finding the right one.

There showed a picture of an island, and the chapter was titled "The Island Of Fears."

--

ok, SDquizz has got this already, and Ravie, if you wanna know ... it's pretty imple. Island of fears, ranger have to face their biggst fears to survive and not fade away ... and i had a thought when talking to my friends ... she says we all have wings ... mine are a glassy multicolored ness ... but soft ... pretty and vulnerable, or something .. .we I weas thinking ... when each ranger has to face thier fear .. there wings apear and engulf them ... maybe giving the ability to power up there morphing ... like triassic power in DT, and the dragon shielc in MMPR ... yo8u know? they get the wings and jhave more power fighting baddies ...

Nath turned his head, "Zoe that don't even pass for funny in my books he stated simply, it was nigh on as lame as Wood's armless joke," he stated simply before giggling a bit.


Sora stood up, met with many unhappy faces,

"Come on give the bloke a rest, " Jason smilled, "I'm sure your aunties Kim, Trini, Aisha and Cat have more fun things to do," he smilled somewhat at the ladies.

Tommy grinned somewhat, " You don't change until do you Miss Sanchez, " he's taught her back at Reefside.

"Charlie," Trent asked his voice practically buzzing, " I think I need to do some visiting, best-friend since before everything, and someone very special all in Angel Grove," Trent paused, "Okay for once Dr. O I feel you got me on the other side of the fence, this wouldn't have anything to do with...?"

Billy wondered over to the silver Ranger, "Sora," he asked spotting something wasn't quite in place.

"I don't feel right," Sora stated simply , his tone altered , his accent light almost non-existant.

Billy shook his head , "Through the field, I need to check this out now," he instructed. Pulling Sora towards it and through , he order him to sit on a free bed, "Don't demorph ," he instructed strictly he definately meant buisness.

Sora did as he was told sitting on the bed, he unclasped his helmet though putting it the side of him, he inhaled deeply, his face was beaded with an ill sweat and his pupils dilated so much his eyes seemed black. He blinked at the blinding light that entered his eyes, "the light, Billy it hurts," he said , " i can't see," his accent noticibly faint to anyone who had spoke to him before.


"Just a side product of your pupils dilating Sora , just try and relax, I'm going to a run a few tests through the grid,"

Charlie leaned back against the counter, grinning to herself. She had just finished her last final before Winter break, two weeks before the high schols. So she was footloose and ... well you knwo teh rest.

Charlie sucked the last of her smoothie dry, before ordering anotehr, grinning war to ear. She'd aced it, she knew it ... she wanted to do soethingthis weekend, her first freee weekend bfore Christmas ...

Ryla walked in through the YC doors, and trudged forwards to a table nar the counter, dropping ehr bag. It was full of texts and binders. She'd taken to cleaning out her locker very wearly, just so she didn't wleave anything inthere incase she needed to crma for a txt she'd forgotten in all the winter fun. God it was cold out there. Sh pulled off a hat, her jaceket, her sweater, kicked the snow off her boots before coming in ,and p-ulled the scarf from around ehr neck. her cheeks were rosy red and her hand were freexing ... she'd left her gloves at home. Ryla quickly order a hotcholoate and smiled, taking it in ehr hand, them warming wuickly, "Ahhh ... better ..."

Ariana was progressing alright at schol ... passble grades, if not o nthe low side at frist. SHe was grasping, better with Billie and Felix's help ... nt that anything really got done with Felix and Ariana in a room alone together ...

She slid throug hthe doors, shiverin, still trying to master this cold weather. It had been fine i nthe morning, not snowing like now. She shook her head, no hat, only a white hoodi and jeans. She shiverd and mvoed to the heater that had been st up for the less fortunate customers stuck in the cold, and began to warm slowly ...

Zoe had lst class off, so had been there for about an hour. She had headphones on, huge DJ style and was tapping her pencil on her sketchpad. She was trying to come up with a new design ... the cold had inspried hr for winter wear that was bulk, but not ugly ... sh was getting no wheres ...

--

Renzo was in his thron room, rereading the text he'd been reading non stop, "i'm going to send them .. .all of them ... once I have enough pwoer to ... and they'll be stuck there .. .ti;l tthey fade away ..."

Sora sat moping in a corner on a table, he still hadn't touched his drink or food, he dragged his straw round and round in a circle of eight. He felt sickened, and was mentally preparing himself to get a beating from his friends again, damn Zita, poor Rei was ill in bed with something like flu, Sora could feel something was wrong, he was very much on his own caught up the same as Rei.

Autumn was looking incrediably different, her hair in stylish bunches, she still had her YC t'shirt on, but was wearing the skirt and boots Winter had brought her for her birthday , shes was half serving people and gawking at what she'd had off Taran for her birthday, it was so pretty, and was she wearing makeup?

Winter smilled at Ryla, " Cold out there he grinned," he seemed better, wearing a jumper under his t'shirt. He was making a drink for Rei on the side hoping she's wake up.

"Looking happy Charlie," Autumn grinned, "heard about Dr. O's company then?" she asked with a grin.


Nathan stared out of the front doors of schhol , "OMGod, " he stated , "theres tonnes of it,"

Wood stood the side of him , "thankgod for teleporting," Wood said quietly, they bothe waited to see if anyone else was still at school and was heading to the YC.

Spring and Summer were sitting at a booth, they'd come back early to be with they're family for the holidays,

Nanna was cooking in the kitchen.

Dr. O, wondered through the front door shaking snow off his head, "Damn, something wrong with that, Snow in angel Grove," he said to the person with him.

The person nodded pulling the big white hood of his snow jacket down, Trent Mercer grinned, "Wow this place is something alse," he said taking in the ranger memorabilia,

Tommy nodded, "Hayley taught them well didn't she,"

Lammy sat on the steps to the upstairs of the YC, her head on her knees, seemingly deep in thought, a frown on her face. But she was really listening to something no one else could hear

Taran made his way inside, seemingly oblivious to the cold and snow, as he was wearing well worn winter clothes. Omce inside he dusted his hands off and removed his thick gloved and his ear flap hat. He was a vision in flannel all right XD. "Kinda chilly out there," he remarked as he appraoched the bar. "Need an expresso to warm my bones

rex made his way in. "UIt's cold. My balls are gonna freeze off," he grumbled, not caring if anyone heard him or not. "Hope you got something hot, Autumn," he declared loudly
--

Tai hadn't quite made it in. The weather was challenge he and his Grandpa couldn't pass up, so both of them have been standing half naked in the snow like idots for several hours swinging their swords around.
--

Billie and Felix had stayed after thir last class of the day a bit later than usual helping their teacher fiddle with something


Tori had rushed to get her school paper article in before the deadline and was running toward the entrance now in a hurry before the snow decided to rear it's ugly head again
--

Widow appraiched her husband, irritation written all over her face. "I will kill that creature by the end of the day if she doesn't cease her incessent maining and whining about everything that's wrong here. no, better yet, next time she enters that plasted pinball, I'll seal her inside," she vowed coolly, just ranting
--

Griff laounged against the door jamb of his room, his arms crossed over his chest, dutifully reporting everything he was personally doing at the Palace. He wouldn't spy on anyone else for his sister and she wouldn't ask him to. But that mean h couldnt share with her the things he could help but see. Which admittedly wasn't much beyond the kicthen, his bed and the dark dimension where he enjoyed raining

Charlie tilted her head and eyed Ayutumn oddly, "Company, what are you ..." and then she heard it. Her head snapped to one side as she stared at him. Trent!

"Chico!" she was out of her chair i na flash, it spinning, and her but a blur, running almost ... faster than possible. She leaped into the air, and her arms flew around his neck, "You are here!" she hugged him tightly and laughed.

Ryla'a head turned as she saw the purple flash that was Charli, anr then laughed, "A boy ... of course ..." she left hr stuff at the table, and mvoed to he coutner, "but I thought she was slipping ehr way into Rocky way ... eh ... flaots her boat and such ..." she smirked, and saw Taren walk, "Speaking f good looking guys that cetain women want to get their arms around," nad she waved to Taren, grinning ear to ear, waiting for Autumn retaliation ...

--

Kim had taken to hlping Trini more and more with ehr things, since finals were up and she was grding, kim just needed the answer sheet to help her get throug hthe stacks of paper ... trying t keep her mind from Tommy and her horrible luck with love ...

Adam wa safely at the dojo, training a bit himself, unawre of the snow, as he'd been inside allday ...

--

Renzo shook his head, and then spread his arms out, a small bubnble appearing, the isdland in view inside, "We could send her as well ... stuck to monitor them .. she could be our eyes ..., chained to a tree somewhwres ..." he laughed, "Motehr's attempts to fade the rangers away were defeated ... but mine shall nbot be ..."

"Hola," Trent said a little flabbergasted, " long time no see, Charlie,"
"loose my number or did I scare you off like I did Autumn," he smilled, it was a pretty awkward memory, he'd been pretty awful to Autumn when under the influence of the dino gem, probably Charlie too,


Autumn grinned, "you'll understand when you see him," she scowled at Ryla for her comment , " And where's your samurai," she quipped, her smile quickly replced the scowl as Taran got closer,
Autumn grinned, "I can see that," she said taking in the head to toe flannel, "Your as bad as me and camoflage," she stated putting an expresso in front of Taran with a smile, she turned to Rex, "yeah for your mouth but 'fraid i haven't anything for that other area, " she laughed. She then fetched a mug of broth, "Nanna's idea, say's its needed on a day like this,"

Wood grinned " come on , Tori, we can walk and snowball Nath on the way," he grinned.

Tommy sat down to order a drink for himself and Trent. He looked round at the clientele briefly.

Mariko knocked on Griff's door, neither of her damn sisters were about, she seemed to have taken it out of them , becominf fully formed.

"Better keep her as far away as possible. She and your uncle are two of a kind when it comes to screwing things up," she declared as she flopped into her thrown and curled up
--

Griff quickly severed the connection between he and his sister with a hasty good bye and opened his door, not too suprised to see Mariko. "Hello," he greeted in a slightly bored tone. He'd kept his distance from both she and Zita..until he figured out just what the hell was going on. And he rolled his eyes at himself everytime he thought about what happened while he had amnesia
--

"Shame on you Autumn. You shouldn't be thinking about my other area. you might make Tarabn jealus," he added with a cheeky wink and sat sipping the broth, wrapping his hands around the mug to warm them

Taran snorted. "Takes more'n the likes of you for that," he declared and flashed a grin at Autumn. "Busy day?" he asked her as he sat as well and began drinking his expresso

Lammy sighed and stood, stretching slightly as she made her way all the way down into the YC

Trini sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Mid-terms is almost worse than finals," she declared with a sigh

Kat came in, dressed in a long overcoat that seemed to keep her pretty well warm and she clutched a bag and bndle of mail in her hands as she absently made her way a table to open the envelopes
--

Tori giggled and nodded. "All right," she said and grinned evilly at Nathan. "Just to fair, i should warn you, my aim is almst as good as Billie's," she stated

Charlie grinned as she pulled back from the hug. She grabbed his hands, smilng, "No Chico, I was not scared ... once I had left," she frownd a bit, "I was sad at how things had ended at that point but ..." she smiled, "I now know the extent of what casued you that ... turmoil," she hugged him again, "I lost all of my numbers i nthe move ... but as it seems my friends from reefside are ... you know ... I have n need anynmore for numbers."

Ryla flushed a bit, and shrugged, "I don't know ... the swordmaster hasn't bothered finding me today ..." she huffed kin a jking manne, but still no idea wher Tai was ...

Kim had moved a stack of papers and her eyes lifted up a moment, and caught hold of Tommy's. She wanted to look down, pretend she hadn't seen him, or try to smile or ... something ... but all she could do was stare ...

--

Renzo nodded, "Can we chain her somwhere's else then?" he laughed, and mvoed to her, sitting in his own throne, grasping ehr hand. He then took her body in his and pulledher onto his lap on his throne, holding ehr to him, "it will be glorious ... I have made it so we see the deepest fears these rangers have ... then use it to destroy them ..."

"Your the one who mentioned 'em Rex, " Autumn smilled at Taran, "quite busy plenty of folks wanting a warm drink, and what you been doing today?"She inquired.

"Great well at that , I've got something to show you two," he exclaimed, "can you catch a moving target," Nathan pointed to his feet he was hovering a couple of inches off the ground.

Trent grinned, "I understand, maybe now i can fill you in better of what happened."
"First how about i get you a drink."

Autumn grinned, at her "probably atempting training in the snow"

Tommy averted the stare, looking down at a paper, 'now i've upset her, he thought, i shouldn't have gone off so cowardly once she's opened her heart to me' he mentally kicked himself.

Winter turned round, " What you been doing Lammy?" He asked with a smile.

"hmm, well you know what if your going to be like that , I might as well go and cheer up that lad of my sisters, he's not doing to well joined to us by that curse," she exclaimed.

Taran shook his head. "Been listening to a houseful of Reaver's complain about the cold. Jace would get the only house in the ritzy district that had a heating probably. Beleive me, braving the snow was a better option," he stated. He chuckled at the talk of Tai. "I wouldn't put it past him," he declared shaking his head

"I can almost guarantee it. Grandpa wouldn't miss this oppertunity train one's body for all liklihoods. Even several feet of snow in Angel Grove," Rex declared wryly

Lammy smiled back. "I've been talking to my brother. He promised, no more fighting with you...unless you want him, too. WHich might not be such a bad idea. He needs something to do because I forbade him to directly involve himself in anything evil..he wouldnt have anyway, and you could the practice getting used to...well, you know. And he hasn't found out anything too conclusive about this Moriko person that came out of Zita and Rei.," she snorted in a sisterly tiff as she added "He says she talks in riddles better than I do," she muttered

Kat was absorbed in her mail. Alot of it was rejection letters from various dance troupes she'd auditioned for and junk mail. The more she read, the more dejected she became. Didn't they care that she was one of Sydney's prima ballerinas despite her age? By the time she got to the last letter she was slumped in her chair so bad she was in danger of falling out
--

Tori stood, awestruck as she watched him. "Hey, how'd you do that?" she asked him in a low hoarse voice
--

"It would be nice to chain her in a galaxy far far away," Widow said declared with a sigh. Then she snuggled against him. "Wonderful. Then, once these are out of the way, we can begin on the former rangers. Then perhaps kidnap someone from far in the future to warn us whenever a new team was due to arrive...and kill them before they get the chance," she said with an evil smirk
--

Griff shrugged. "I could tag along if that's what you wanna do," he said evenly.
