To those that have stayed with me through both the Streaks of Purple Saga and the Spectrum Force series, thank you! See? I told you there were more books to come! I've decided to go back to editing the Power Ranger Fanfiction I wrote back in the day to book format and The Terran Rangers are kind of my own take on Power Rangers Zeo. I hope you all continue to stick with me through this series. Again, thank you to all the readers and the people that have supported me over this project through the years! Luvs to you all!
All the characters that will be introduced on the planet "Midgar"
are taken from the video game "Final Fantasy VII"
, and therefore are the property of Squaresoft. The game itself takes place on Earth, but since that wouldn't work with the story I had planned, I decided to create a different planet, called Midgar, which is the name of the largest city on the Final Fantasy world. The concept of Midgar not having any disease is strictly my idea (not part of the game itself)
. If you are familiar with the game, then you'd probably realize this fic takes place towards the end. I've decided not to remain consistent with the game, because I don't want to give too much away for those of you who are in the process of playing it now.
Aisha Campbell groaned as she forced herself out of bed. She rubbed her eyes, and glanced at her alarm clock.
"Once again," she muttered, "I slept through my alarm clock. I'm late!"
But Aisha wasn't too worried about being late to school this morning. As she undressed, she realized she had other problems. On the side of her abdomen was a dark scar, still with dried blood on it. She ran her fingers down the scar, which was nearly a foot long, as she recalled how she received such a terrible wound.
About one week ago, she battled Holocaust as the Green Ranger. He managed to deflect her attack, and blasted her with powerful plasma energy, throwing her into a rusted steel beam. The sharp metal sliced through both her armor and her flesh, giving her a serious wound. But, her wound wasn't as serious as Jason and Zack's.
Jason's shoulder was almost completely sliced through, and Zack's leg was crushed, and he sustained a serious head injury. Even Tommy had numerous broken ribs, that even punctured his lungs. But all three young men have made complete recoveries, thanks to their enhanced Ranger healing abilities, coupled with the highly advanced med-unit, which further increases the body's ability to heal itself. What was strange is that she wasn't healing like the others. The med-unit could only partially heal her wounds, and left this horrible scar.
Billy had diagnosed that her wound was more serious than it looked, and since the med-unit had been used so extensively after that fight, it was low on energy. He believed Aisha's own healing abilities would finish up the regeneration of the skin, and she'd be as good as new in a day or two. But, its been six days, and she's still aching horribly.
"No big deal," she reasoned, wrapping her body in her bathrobe. "So I have a scar. It'll heal eventually. Its no reason to bother Billy. He said I'll be fine, and I believe him."
Aisha hurried into the bathroom, and showered. Afterwards, she combed out her hair, and got dressed. While she was tying her shoelaces, there was a knock on her door.
"Come in!" she called, standing up and applying lip gloss. Doctor Benjamin Campbell, her father, entered the room, and smiled at his only daughter.
"You're a little late this morning," he said, glancing down at his watch. "It's nearly nine o'clock!"
"I know," she sighed, "but ever since Holocaust banged me up, I haven't been able to function well. I'll be okay, though --"
"Aisha," Doctor Campbell said sternly, "that battle was a week ago! Your wound wasn't so serious that you'd still be feeling the effects. Especially after the med-unit mended the cut. You should have been okay after a couple of hours."
Aisha shook her head, and turned to her father. At first, Aisha thought that keeping the secret of being a Power Ranger from her parents was difficult, because there was no way to explain the drop in grades, and constantly having to disappear, only to return with bruises and scratches. But now, she realized it was worse when the parent knows the truth, and was always hounding her to be careful. Thank goodness Mom doesn't know. She'd never let me out of the house!
"Dad, I'll be fine," she said. "It's probably because I haven't been a Power Ranger for awhile. My system just has to readjust is all."
"You don't have to go to school," Doctor Campbell said. "If you're not feeling well, I can write a note saying you were ill today."
"Nah, I'm too far behind as it is," said Aisha, standing up on her toes to give her father a kiss on the cheek. "Gotta go!"
"At least let me drive you," said Doctor Campbell, following Aisha out of her bedroom. "It's on my way to the University."
Ten minutes later, Aisha hurried into Angel Grove High, carrying a note from her father, stating that she woke up not feeling well, and needed some extra sleep. At least with this note, she would be able to avoid detention for tardiness. After checking in at the main office, Aisha went to her locker to put her jacket away, and collected the books needed for the next period. While she was at her locker, the bell rang, dismissing first period. She spun around when she heard a familiar voice call her name.
"Hey, Campbell!"
She giggled when she saw Zack Taylor, the Silver Ranger, jump down the last few steps on his way to the first floor. He jogged up beside her, and leaned against the locker next to hers.
"Hi, Aisha," he said with a smile. "What's up?"
"Nothing new," she answered.
"Where were you this morning? Are you just getting here?"
"Uh, yeah," she said, slightly embarrassed, "I just couldn't drag myself out of bed."
"You're late more often than Tommy!" Zack laughed.
"So, did you only come over here to criticize me?" she asked him.
"Actually, I...I wanna ask you a question. Do you know that new dance club that opened downtown?"
"Yeah..." said Aisha, her smile widening, I can't believe it! He's finally asking me out! I thought he'd never
get over Angela!
"Well, how do you think I can get Angela to go with me? I mean, if she'd only give me a chance, she'd realize what a cool guy I am!"
Aisha's smile fell, and she arched an eyebrow. "Look, Zack, I'm not really friendly with Angela. I have no idea how you would impress her."
"Are you okay?" he asked, noticing her sudden change in mood.
"Yeah, I'm just...tired
is all," she responded, taking a deep breath. She closed her locker, and smiled up at Zack. "See ya at lunch, Taylor."
"Bye," he said with a grin, waving and jogging down the hall. Aisha leaned against her locker, and rolled her eyes.
What IS
it with him?
she pondered. What do I have to do, throw myself at his feet for him to notice me?! I must be barking up the wrong tree. There's no getting through to Zachary Taylor. He's head over heels for Angela, a woman who doesn't even give him the time of day. I should just forget about him, and keep my eyes open for someone else. But, why does he have to be so darn cute?!
Aisha scrunched her nose as she strapped on her backpack, and crossed the hallway, where she saw her best friends chatting in a circle against the walls.
"What are you four talking about?" she asked.
"I was just showing Tanya the ring Tommy gave me," Kimberly said with a smile. "She just got back from Kenya, and we've been filling her in on all the details."
"Yes," said Tanya, "I can't believe Tommy proposed! It's so romantic!"
"He didn't actually
