Ch 5 Questions Voiced, more arise



A purple stream of light rains into the Reservation, once it clears Darianna steps towards her bed, sitting for a moment as the de-morph hits her for the first time. Sitting on her bed for a few minutes she smiles to herself before taking the coin out of the morpher, placing the morpher in her bag and the coin back in the box. Holding the box she walks over to her desk, opening the draw to set it inside slowly. She pulls out her books and starts flipping through the pages to work on her homework, getting it done before tomorrow school bell rang.





~Angel Grove Park~ < Billy>



I left my friends at the Juice Bar, made up an excuse of a new project to work on, when in reality i just needed to get away and think. Today had been off the charts on strange events in Angel Grove. Not only had the henchmen attacked a civilian, i would swear on my moms grave i knew her. But the facts are so contradictory. Fact 1: Deanna hasn't been seen in 2 years, supposedly dead with her parents.... Fact 2: that girl shares her name....... Fact 3: Her eyes-piercing vivid baby blues.... the very same as the girl i grew up with, Darianna, Deanna different names for the same person thanks to Kim.... Fact 4: De had perfect vision, this girl is blind.... Fact 5: their fighting style is the exact same, i've spent hours watching De practice for matches and i know those moves, granted they have improved but..... its her, Id swear it..... Fact 6 Bulk and Skull- only one person have they ever listened to and shes been gone 2 years, yet today they are on their best behaviors.



But the question of how remains. The police, our parents, they all swore she died with her family. I swear it is her, I am not losing my mind but how is she alive when I... we were told that she was dead? Tomorrow.... tomorrow I'm going to watch, and see if i can figure out the answer to my questions.





~Angel Grove Mall~ <Kim>

  I waved bye to Jason as he drives off,  he had dropped me off at the mall on our way home, I made up an excuse of a sale at the mall. What i really needed was time away from everyone to think. Today has been the oddest day, even by ranger terms. Its not everyday someone comes back from the dead. I know in my heart its Darianna, the same girl i nicknamed Deanna. The fight tonight confirmed it, cause only 2 people could fight that well, not counting the new kid Tommy or the Green Ranger. Those two, were Jason, who had been training since Kindergarten, and Deanna, who had been training since she could walk, being only a hair better then Jason, seeing as she had been at it longer.



   I know it is her, now to confirm it. It has to be her, i couldn't bear to have my hope up if it isn't. But the way the boys acted it has to be her, for no one else, not even their own parents have Bulk and Skull ever behaved, it was always just for De. The first girl to put them in their place.  Tomorrow... Tomorrow i will talk to her and find out for sure.....



~Angel Grove Juice Bar~<Trini>

  I nodded to my friends as they all took off to various areas, knowing each one was an excuse to think on their own, that's why i stayed behind to use the practice mats. I've always thought better while practicing my Kung Fu, it is my meditation. The new girl, there is something familiar about her, we all know it, but none of us wish to speak it aloud. We hope it is our friend Dari, but we do not wish for that hope to be in vain. I know her fight style as well as my own or Jason's it is her i have no doubt, but why has she been gone so long, and what happened to her sight?



  I don't want to just rush in and ask, she was always so private as we grew up. The only way you really got to know her is if she deemed you worthy of her trust, which wasn't something lightly given. We 5 were among those she trusted as were Bulk and Skull and a sole cousin that she rarely saw. I suppose its going to be a wait and see on who of us 5 will crack first to ask her.... I shall place my bet on Kim, she is the most outspoken of us all.



~Angel Grove Outskirts~ <Jason>

    I park my car on the side of the road, i had just dropped Kim at the mall and wasn't expected home for another hour or so, i plan to use some of that time to think, before picking Kim back up.  Getting out i pull off my A-shirt tossing it in the car as i start to jog around a small area in the desert. Half way through my jogging i start moving into my Katas, while shifting through the stances i think back, 2 years ago doing this routine with one of my best friends, De, the one who got me started in the Martial Arts. I know this sounds strange, but i never truely believed them when they told us she died, how can you die yet have no body to show you are dead? De was a fighter she always has been theres no way she wouldn't have tried to get out of the car when the accident happened. They didn't look hard enough and i know it.

    

    but now, now shes back, and if that girl is her, and i'm positive she is, shes hurting at the thought that we all think she is dead. well almost all, Bulk and Skull never bought it, they swore up and down she was alive and if their behavior is any indicator they were correct in their belief. But as for her, tomorrow i will talk to her, ask questions i know only one person can answer because only she knows them by heart. and i pray i am right, i need my other little sister back. {jason walks back to his car, pulling on his a-shirt he gets in and heads back to town, swinging by the mall to wait for Kim}



~Angel Grove Juice Bar~ <Zack>

    I ordered a smoothie as i sat down at the table near the Practice Mats. any other day id be out there practicing, joking around, praying for any girl to be watching my moves and fall for me, mainly Angela. But today... today's just been weird, i mean its become the norm for Rita to send the goons, and lord knows its been getting worse since green joined in, but to attack a civilian, that's a new low to actually pull one into the fight just cause they are near by.  But those moves, they had De written all over them, she taught me what i could mix in with my dancing, making me want to learn more. Thankfully Jason was able to teach me when she vanished.



    i don't know how she is alive but those moves today tell me she is, hell she held the green dude at standstill move for move, Jason was barely holding his own in a one on one with the dude. But then again She always was the better of the two. Though....the main thing bugging me... why cant she see?



~Angel Grove~ Oliver Household <Tommy>

    'ugghh....This headache...these Flashbacks, are they real? Am i really....the one fighting the rangers? and that girl....my god....her voice...it's her....' I glance over at my night stand picking up the picture resting there and lifting it up, 'Darianna, my cousin.....how....where have you been... why did they say you died?' I shake my head putting it back down and making my way downstairs, "Mom, Dad, can i ask you something?" i ask "Sure sweetie what is it?" Mom answers. "I know that normally this isn't spoken about but... no one has ever told me and i need to know." "know what son?" Dad asks, "When uncle Tim and Aunt Kate got in the accident.... was Dara's body found to? or just theirs?" i hesitantly ask bracing myself for their reactions, watching as my parents look at each other before my mother sighs and leaves the room letting my dad and i talk. "Well son, just your aunt and uncle were found, they assumed Dara was burnt up in the fire. Now what's all the questions about?"



    I struggle for a moment, trying to figure out what to say, "theres a new girl in school.. just started today...she's blind and a great martial artist." I see the confusion in my dads eye, "Dad, the girls name is Darianna Oliver." I watch as my dad pales and sits down suddenly "your sure, Tommy? theres no chance you misheard?" "100% positive dad, if her name hadn't clued me in, seeing her practice at the juice bar definately did, its the same moves." I answer softly sitting down and resting my head in my hands trying to stop the headache that's coming back harder, "well then son, i guess we need to find out more information on this. Leave it to me, i'll make some inquiries." Dad says getting up, patting me on the back as he leaves the room. My head raises up as my eyes flash green, i'm back under her control again.
