I'm gonna cry a new SEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAA!!!!!\" Waterfalls spurt from his eyes.\n\n Dragold whacks the back of his head with a growl. \"Flood us, and I'll kill you.\"\n\n \"HITTING ME ONLY MAKES ME CRY MOOOOOOORRRRRRRE!!!\"\n\n \"How irritating.\" Dragold growls. \"At least I got a Morpher out of it.\" He holds up the Dino Charger.\n\n Slowly Woemore pulls himself together, and Candelira pats his shoulder, \"There there, just keep smiling!\"\n\n D walks by silently, not giving anyone a glance as he stalks by.\n\n\"...Geez, I could feel the rage pouring off of him that time.\" Dragold blinks.\n\n Luckerio nods, \"He's been that way since the last battle.\"\n\nCandelira taps her chin, \"Maybe he had been hoping not to be the only Mobian around here...?\"\n\n \"Mobians do seem to enjoy each other's company.\" Luckerio agrees.\n\n\"Well whatever it is, if he keeps being mad then we'll have rage filled in no time!\" Dragold smirks. \"In fact, we need more sad. You're lagging behind, Woemore!\"\n\n \"Me?! I was nearly [i]killed[/i] by that white ranger!\"\n\n \"Candelira succeeded in getting two bars of joy with her monster, while you got beat up. I'm not impressed.\" He states.\n\n Woemore gestures at Candelira, \"That was Crimson's plan while Candelira went to watch a movie!!!\" Then he pauses, \"Well... There are a few monsters I've been saving for a special occasion...\"\n\n \"Good! Get them out and collect sadness before Ruin comes back and yells at us for losing Crimson!\" Candelira pushes Woemore gently.\n\n Woemore runs over, and touches the sadness pillar, \"D says he hurt her pretty badly last battle, and even that White Ranger won't be able to hurt this one!\"\n\nSmoke raps from the pillar, and forms into a monster wearing goggles, a Van Helsing hat, and a black cape. Woemore rubs his hands together, \"This one is one of my favorites! With him helping we can't lose! It makes me want to cry with joy!!!\"\n\n \"Hm... he looks familiar...\" Dragold muses.\n\n \"He should!\" Woemore holds up the cape, \"This Unbreakable Mantle was a gift from me! What he does is he finds what living beings want most, and takes it, no matter what it is! He spreads so much sadness it makes me shed a tear!\"\n\n \"Lucky! We should get tons of sadness with this guy!\" Luckerio cheers.\n\nWoemore cheers with Candelira, holding her hands as they hop in a circle.\n\n...\n\nCinder has been put into a wheelchair until her ribs, and leg heals. Yet she refuses to neglect her duties at the Crimson Lotus Dojo.\n\n Ramerez also refused to leave her alone with her injuries, thus making him the first man to be in her dojo.\n\n\"...And that's how I became Ankydon's partner.\" Ramerez smiles at Lucy.\n\n Lucy is utterly captivated by the story, and Cinder chuckles, \"Congratulations, you've set a new record for getting her to sit still.\"\n\n \"And I haven't even started with my stories of adventures. Or how I became Kyoryu Cyan!\" He smirks.\n\n \"Please!\" Lucy bounces on his lap.\n\nCinder checks the clock, \"I apologize Lucy, we have an appointment with Shadow in fifteen minutes.\"\n\n \"When we come back, little one. Now go train. Maybe one day you'll be the next Kyoryu Cyan!\" He smiles gently and pats her head.\n\n \"Nuh-uh, Imma be red too!\" She giggles at Cinder.\n\nCinder watches her trot off as she wheels for the front door.\n\n \"So full of Bravery.\" Ramerez chuckles, catching up to her.\n\n Cinder chuckles, \"Indeed she is. Perhaps one day she may very well be a Ranger.\"\n\n \"A strong one, like her Sifu.\" He smiles and walks to the portal.\n\n Cinder rolls on top of it, \"Thank you Ramerez. I do the best I can.\"\n\n He unholstered her gun and fires at the manhole, warping them to the Spirit Base.\n She nods to him, and balances on the rear wheels as she maneuvers down the steps, \"Hello Torin.\"\n\n He bows. \"Hello Cinder. I trust Ramerez is behaving himself?\"\n\n She nods, \"Quite. Where are the others?\"\n\n They come from the portal at that exact moment.\n\n\"Good, you're here.\" Shadow nods to Cinder.\n\n \"Of course,\" she nods to them all.\n\n \"Go ahead, Conner.\" Shadow says, checking on Cinder's injuries.\n\n Conner smiles as he dramatically hops up on the table, \"Friends! Comrades! Cinder.\" Cinder smirks as Conner nods to her.\n\n Shadow rolls his eyes and mutters to himself as he checks the bandage on Cinder's cheek.\n\n Conner claps his hands together, \"Alright, seriously though. It's good to have the Dino Thunder powers back, right?\"\n\n \"Of course.\" Ethan nods.\n\n Conner gestures to Shadow, \"And Doc, thanks for giving up the Zeo Crystal.\"\n\n \"You'd better be grateful. Zordon gave that to me.\" Shadow states, standing and stepping away from Cinder, satisfied that nothing was wrong.\n\n Conner nods, \"But you proved one thing Shadow. The best Power Ranger, is a veteran Power Ranger... Now there's five of us.\" He turns to Torin, \"We are Kyoryuger... But we'll always be Dino Thunder.\"\n\n \"I understand.\" Torin nods.\n\n Conner holds out his hand, \"That being said... I'd like Parasagun back please.\"\n\n Torin smiles and hands Conner his battery. \"I assume all of you want your batteries?\"\n\n Ethan nods, and they step forward.\n\n He hands them all back before turning to Cinder. \"If I give you your battery, will you promise not to use it until you're able?\"\n\n She nods, \"Of course.\"\n\n He hands it to her with a smile. \"Welcome back to the team. Officially, at least.\"\n\n Cinder nods, \"Shadow... Do I keep my Scythe? I'm not fond of those revolvers.\"\n\n Shadow smiles. \"I'll make it your Morpher.\"\n\nShe looks relieved, \"Thank you.\"\n\n He nods with a smile. \"I'll make sure it's backwards compatible with our gear.\"\n\n She nods, \"Alright then. I cannot express how glad I am to be back.\"\n\n \"It's good to have you back.\" Ramerez smiles gently.\n\n An ominous wind blows Torin's moustache.\n\n \"Deboss monster! It's attacking downtown!\" Torin gasps.\n\n\"Let's go, Rangers!\" Shadow commands, activating his Dino Morpher.\n\n Cinder sighs, \"So soon... Why must it take so long for broken bones to heal?\"\n\n \"To teach us to not break them?\" Ethan suggests as the other Rangers unholster their guns.\n\n She growls quietly, and slumps in her chair.\n\n Ramerez grabs her arm comfortingly. \"Come. We're no good here. Let us train our minds.\"\n\n Cinder scowls, \"No good...\"\n\n \"Ready Rangers?\" Shadow asks. \n\n\"Ready! Brave In!\" They activate their batteries, and load them into their barrels. \"Kyoryu Change!\" They spin their barrels and start dancing.\n\n\"Dinothunder, Power Up!\" Shadow inserts his key and turns it flipping as his costume flies onto him.\n\n\"Fire!\" The others fire up, and their costumes get chomped on.\n\nAll of their helmets appear at the same time. \"Dino Power!\"\n\nThey jump into the portal, and warp away.\n\n Cinder watches them go sadly, and takes Ramerez's hand. \"There... Is a place I would like to see again...\"\n\n He nods quietly. \"Then let's go.\"\n\nTorin watches the two leave without a word.\n\n...\n\n Cinder rides the bus to a little property out by the sea.\n\n Ramerez sits next to her, looking out the window. \"Where is this?\"\n\n \"The site of my Grandsire's dojo,\" she says. \"While I was away he passed, and with no accountable successor the property was seized by the city... I had heard t was turned into a vacation resort for tourists from the Dragon Kingdoms...\"\n\n \"Really?\" He stares at the property. \"...You sure? It looks like a dojo to me...\"\n\n \"It does have the oriental feel to it, but...\" She pauses as she stares at the property. There is no bustle of cars, and tourists. Slowly she starts wheeling towards the building.\n\n Ramerez starts pushing her for her, going to the front door.\n\n\"No! Pivot more!\" A male voice commands. \"Again!\"\n\nThe sound of students in unison is heard.\n\nCinder gasps quietly, \"Ramerez, faster please, I don't trust myself not to break this chair.\"\n\nHe opens the door to let them in, the sound of students training coming in louder.\n\n\"Faster Thomas! You're trying to hit someone with that slash!\" The same man states.\n\nCinder ignores the pain in her ribs as she leans forward trying to see who spoke.\n \nA blood red echidna in a navy blue gi with red detailing on the cuffs and edges and a red belt with a gold stripe on it is watching a student, holding a wooden sword very familiarly. \"Jimmy. You're trading technique for speed again.\"\n\n\"Sorry Sifu...\"\n\n Cinder stares, \"...Destro...?\"\n\n He glances back before returning to his students. \"This is a boys only school, if you- Cinder?\" He does a double take. \"Cinder?! Is that you?\"\n \n She stares blankly at him, and slowly rolls over, \"Destro... How...? When...?\" She looks up at him from her seated position.\n \n\"Students. Class dismissed for now.\" Destro waves his students to leave.\n\nThey all bow and leave the mat. He bows off and steps off the mat, walking over. \"I could ask you the same.\" He eyes her wheelchair.\n\n She rubs an armrest, \"The irony is not lost on me.\"\n\n \"I guess a lot has changed since then...\" He smiles gently. \"How long has it been? A millennium?\"\n\n She chuckles, \"A decade. My predicament is not permanent however, just a few broken ribs, and my leg.\"\n\nShe looks back at Ramerez, \"Destro was a student of my Grandsire, the one I spoke of when we were discussing my mask.\"\n\n \"Ah, so that's why you wear it.\" Destro nods. \"Who is this? Your suitor?\"\n\n Cinder nods, \"Ramerez is a fine warrior, and man to boot. He's one of the few good men I ever met, and so I decided to take a chance.\"\n\n Ramerez bows. \"I am Ramerez... Ramerez... Ankydon!\" He smiles, feeling clever.\n\nDestro bows back. \"Destro Magmastorm. Headmaster of this dojo. You're a lucky man, Ramerez. She's a tough one, don't let go.\"\n\nCinder's smile fades, \"Destro... I know an apology will not suffice for all those years ago... But it's all I can offer. I was hot-blooded, proud, and very uncompromising in my beliefs.\" She pauses, \"...In hindsight I suppose I haven't changed in those regards. However the years have made me wiser, and...\" She stares at the floor, \"...I'm sorry...\"\n\n He stares at her before slowly taking a knee and patting her arm. \"For you to push aside your pride and apologize is a wonderful thing. I accept your apology. I also apologize for what I said... even though you completely took it out of context and broke my back.\"\n\n She smiles, \"I knew what you were doing, you were protecting your pride in front of Eli. What really drove me was I considered it two-faced, and deceitful. It felt like you had betrayed my trust.\"\n\n \"I suppose.\" He sighs, rubbing the back of his head. \"I admit, you were probably stronger than me at that time. But even when I was confined to a wheelchair, I focused on using my sword.\" He holds up his wooden sword, amazingly the same sword albeit worn and covered in marks.\n\n Cinder puts a hand on his, \"The same from our years as children... Thank you for saving the dojo.\"\n\n \"I couldn't let some snobbish rich guy take away the one place I called home.\" He smiles gently. He brushes a hand through her hair, placing his hand on the bandage on her cheek and gently touching it. \"The one place I felt I belong, with those I love.\"\n\n She nods, and raises an eyebrow, \"Boys only?\"\n\n He nods slowly, standing. \"Back when I first got this place, I was still stewing over how you broke me. I didn't want any kid to feel the pain that I did, so I made it a boys only dojo. Even after I got over it, I didn't really see any reason to change it. After all, you made an all girl dojo. Girls aren't the only ones that are used and then cast aside.\"\n\n She nods, \"Grandsire wouldn't approve the both of us do ruminating students...\"\n\n \"Maybe we should join them again.\" He smiles. \"It's honestly lonely being the only instructor.\"\n\nShe thinks, \"...Our students are too used to their ways of life. Our schools can interact, but attempting a full integration could be risky.\"\n\n \"Very true.\" He says thoughtfully. \"...Perhaps we'll do tournaments, get them used to each other through combat? It worked for us as children.\"\n\n \"That it did,\" she smiles. \"Sadly some of my warriors despise men... And I did nothing to dissuade them.\"\n\n \"Hence, combat.\" He smiles gently. \"Interaction is key. I'll let you think, though. I don't want to rush you to make a decision.\" He turns and shakes Ramerez's hand. \"Thank you for taking care of her.\"\n\nRamerez smiles with a nod. \"It's a joy to help her.\"\n\n\"I'll bet.\" He winks and turns. \"You may stay and watch, and come visit any time.\" He claps his hands, his students returning and bowing onto the mat.\n\n Cinder sighs as she leans back into her chair, locking her wheels in place.\n\n The students surround him, and take fighting stances.\n\nHe looks around, blinking before smiling. \"Surprise showdown already?\" He moves his sword a little, ready.\n\nThe students all attack him at once, and he disappears as they trap him. He knocks them all away with his sword, smirking. \"Good, attacking together is key. But don't just rush me, use your techniques.\"\n\n Cinder taps the armrest of her chair, \"Depending on the reach of their chosen weapons, they can only attack him four to six people at a time...\"\n\n Ramerez tilts his head. \"Indeed.\"\n\nTwo with swords and two with maces swing at him, and he blocks them all as he drops to a knee and raises his sword. He then spins on one knee as he trips them all with his other leg, standing. \"Don't depend solely on your weapons. You could've kicked me.\" He states.\n\n Cinder nods, \"Weapons best serve to counteract other weapons. The wielder is what inevitably decides the battle.\"\n\n He smiles at her before dodging an axe. \"Good! You might've cleaved my head off!\" He kicks the student in the gut as he hooks his other leg around the student's neck, throwing him to the ground. \"Where was the follow up? You should always have a follow up should your attack miss. After all, you're wide open after you swing!\"\n\n Cinder nods, \"Very sound teaching... Grandsire wouldn't approve of all his students attacking like this, but it does inspire unity.\"\n\n \"...He does seem a bit more eager to die than I originally thought.\" Ramerez blinks.\n\n\"It's not suicidal if I don't die!\" Destro winks, jumping and spinning between two whips. \"Whoop! Nice!\"\n\n \"He seems to be enjoying himself,\" Cinder muses.\n \nHe lands and reaches into his gi, pulling out a wooden boomerang. He throws it and knocks down the remaining students. \"Where are your blocks?! Don't sacrifice defense for offense!\" He chastises, catching the boomerang.\n\n\"Sorry Sifu...\" They all get up and bow.\n\n Cinder blinks slowly, and unlocks her wheels.\n\n He sighs and shakes his head. \"Tomorrow we will work on what you all failed today. Rest.\" He bows to all of them as them bow back.\n\n Cinder turns, and slowly starts rolling out of the dojo.\n\n Ramerez blinks, and quickly moves after her. \"Thank you, Destro! We'll come again!\"\n\nDestro smiles and waves. \"Okay, bye!\"\n\nRamerez catches up to Cinder, and starts pushing her. \"What's wrong?\"\n\n Cinder doesn't speak, she just keeps moving.\n\n Ramerez blinks. \"Where do you want to go?\"\n\n \"Away from here.\"\n\n \"...Well then, let's go back to your dojo. We need to change your wrappings.\" He says finally, taking her Dino Charger and shooting a manhole, warping them just outside her dojo.\n\n As he walks past her he notices she is quivering... And the wet spots peppering her lap.\n\n \"Hey...\" He takes her hands gently. \"What's wrong?\"\n\n \"Haven't you figured it out yet Ramerez? Destro uses a combination of sword, and boomerang...\" She looks up at him, \"And the Death Ranger knew me by face, and name.\"\n\n Ramerez blinks, before slowly understanding. \"...Oh dear...\"\n\n Cinder bows over her lap, \"It's my fault... Destro is the Death Ranger...\"\n\n Ramerez gently hugs her. \"...I... don't know what to say...\"\n\n She hugs him back, her shoulders gently shaking.\n\n He pulls away a little, looking her in the eyes. \"Maybe it was your fault. But you mended a broken bridge today. Just keep doing it... and maybe Deathryuger will be no more.\" He brushes a dreadlock from her face, along with some tears. \"One step at a time. Just like everything else. Training. Combat. Love.\" He moves in, and softly brushes her lips against his.\n\n She closes her eyes. The contact cheers her up some, but not completely.\n\n \"Let's continue this inside.\" He murmurs softly, pushing her inside.\n\n She allows him to push her, her hands cupped over her face.\n\n...\n\nConner groans, \"We've been out here for thirty minutes, are you sure Torin says he's here?\"\n\n \"Positive. He's never wrong.\" Shadow states.\n\n \"Then where is he,\" Ethan whines. \"Or her... IT!\"\n\n \"If I knew...\" Shadow's voice becomes laced with sarcasm, \"I think you'd know.\"\n\n Kira points off to the side, \"Look!\" Over by a river there's a woman crying.\n\n Ethan walks over. \"Hey lady, you okay?\"\n\n She shakes her head, \"it's gone... It's all gone...\"\n\n \"What's gone?\" Conner asks when they come over.\n\n She wipes her eyes, and holds up a life jacket in front of her, \"Ever since my little boy Jason was old enough to talk he wanted to sail... He worked so hard, getting together the money on his own, and bought his own sailboat. This river is deep enough, wide enough, and leads right into the ocean.\"\n\nShe sobs, and then looks back at them, \"We were going to launch the boat from here... I stepped off it long enough to get this... And when I turn around someone sucks the boat into thin air... With my son...\"\n\n Ethan blinks. \"But... that's impossible! Matter can't be created or destroyed.\"\n\n Trent smacks him up the back of the head, \"You really think he laws of science apply where mystical monsters from the age of dinosaurs are concerned?\"\n\n \"I do, in fact.\" He scowls, rubbing the back of his head.\n\n Conner puts a hand on the woman's shoulder, \"Did you see where this man went?\"\n\nShe nods, and points to a bridge up the river.\n\n \"Let's go!\" Kira says, running that way.\n\n Conner, and Trent are right after her. \"Hey wait for me,\" Ethan shouts as he runs to catch up.\n\n Kira looks around with a frown.\n\n A laugh up ahead draws her attention as she spots the monster with the black cape.\n\n \"Hey!\" She fires at it with her Dino Charger.\n\nHe deflects the shot with his cape, \"Oooo... Tell me, what is it you enjoy most?\"\n\n \"Defeating monsters.\" Conner growls. \"Ready guys?\" He pulls out his battery.\n\n \"Well then!\" He holds up a hand, and batteries are sucked from the rangers, flying towards him.\n\n \"Hey! Those are ours!\" Conner growls. They all pull out another set of batteries.\n\nThe monster raises its hand to take those too.\n\n Ethan smirks and activates his hard skin, jumping and letting the monster take him along with his Morpher. He slams into the monster hard.\n\n It goes rolling, the batteries scattering from its grip.\n\n \"Catch!\" Ethan tosses the batteries to his teammates, and activates his. \"Brave In!\"\n\n They press theirs too. \"BRAVE IN!\"\n\nThey load their batteries into their guns. \"Armed On!\"\n\n Trent draws his sword , holding it in a reverse grip as he tries to slash the monster to bits, yet he just can't penetrate that cape.\n\n \"Give us back everything that you stole!\" Conner shouts, blasting it.\n\n The monster blocks with his cape, \"Nice try! And why are there two black rangers on one team? One is more than enough...\" He flings out a hand, and Shadow starts getting sucked up.\n\n\"Because fuck you, that's why.\" Shadow growls. \"Brachio Staff, Energy Orb!\" He fires the orb at the monster. \"Racist prick.\" He mutters.\n\n The monster blocks with his cape, and the energy just rolls off him like the wind. \"How am I racist?! You're a black ranger, and the rabbit is a black ranger too!\"\n\n \"And you the one complaining about it. Racist.\" Conner shoots him again.\n \nHe deflects the shots, \"I'm not racist!!!\"\n\n \"Someone's jammies are ruffled.\" Kira giggles, charging up and slashing it.\n\n He blocks with the cape around his arms in an X before kicking her away, \"Seriously, what with you guys?! I'm black too! Therefore I cannot be racist for saying someone is black!\"\n\n \"Then you should be fine.\" Shadow states, slashing him.\n \nThe monster spins so the blow catches him in the cape, and the slams an elbow into Shadow's head.\n\n As Shadow falls, He throws a Chaos Spear point blank into the monster's crotch.\n\n The monster lets or a high-pitch scream, and topples to the ground while holding his nuts. \"That was low,\" he squeaks out.\n\n \"If you're gonna play dirty with a cape, then we're allowed cheap shots. Should've thought of that.\" Shadow states, grabbing the vault door on the monster's chest.\n \n\"No,[i] this[/i] is playing dirty!\" He knocks Shadow away with a kick to the throat, and then starts trying to get to his feet.\n\n \"No, this is. Brave In!\" Conner loads battery twenty into his gun.\n\n[i]Gaburincho! Gurumonite![/i]\n\n\"Fire!\" He fires it, and it explodes into green dust on impact.\n \nWhen the dust clears... The monster is gone.\n\n \"Dammit!\" Conner growls.\n\nShadow rubs his throat, hissing. \"Nice shot...\"\n\n Ethan facepalms, \"Really man? The dude is a thief, and you shot a smokescreen at him?!\"\n\n \"It wasn't smokescreen, dude. It was the confuse battery. At least it'll incapacitate him for a while, wherever he is.\" Conner scowls.\n\n \"Well it worked just as well as a smokescreen,\" Trent points out. \"Chaos, I wish all of us were here. Cinder could sense him...\"\n\n \"Well, she's recovering rather quickly.\" Shadow stands shakily. \"As long as she doesn't make anything worse, she'll be out of her leg cast the day after tomorrow, and better than before a day after that.\"\n\n Trent nods, \"Speaking of, until this monster shows up again we should have time to go back, and check up on her.\"\n\n \"You mean check on the happy couple?\" Kira giggles.\n\n \"That's part of it,\" Trent says with a shrug.\n\n \"I'll leave you guys to it. I'm working on something back at the lab.\" Shadow powers down. \"See you later. Chaos Control!\" He warps away.\n\n Trent jerks his head, \"C'mon guys.\"\n\n They nod and follow.\n\n...\n\nWoemore waves a hand, \"Oh don't worry, that was only a skirmish Dragold. My monster survived meeting he rangers, which is more than you can say for both of your monsters.\" He points between Dragold, and Candelira.\n\n\"Shut up. You're irritating me.\" Dragold growls.\n\n \"You don't have to be so mean,\" Candelira crosses her arms, and looks away.\n\n\"Well it's true,\" Woemore says.\n\n \"So why is he missing right now?\" D walks in.\n\n \"Oh they shot him with some kind of Confuse Bullet, but it'll wear off soon. Look at how much sadness he's already gathered!\" Woemore gestures to his pillar.\n\n \"Not as much as that Destro person collected from our deserter.\" D states, his hand subtly gripping his sword tighter. \"I knew making the deal with him would bite one day.\"\n\n \"Actually she was more of a mole,\" Canedlria says thoughtfully.\n\n\"I thought she was an echidna,\" Luckerio muses.\n\nCandelira shakes her head, \"No, by 'Mole' I'm talking about a spy.\"\n\n \"She's overcome by sadness and rage. Even when she's not with us anymore, she helps us.\" D continues as if he was never interrupted.\n\nWoemore shrugs, \"When did we say she wasn't useful? Has Ruin been told about her yet?\"\n\n \"I would assume he knows. He knows everything we do usually.\" D states.\n\n \"We haven't heard from him in a while,\" Candelira muses.\n\n \"He's making sure Pterathundron stays on our side.\" D says, turning. \"If you need me, I'll be training.\" He warps away.\n\n\"That guy's hard to read.\" Candelira muses.\n\n \"Sometimes he scares me,\" Luckerio mutters.\n\n \"More than Dragold?\" Candelira giggles.\n\n\"Women.\" Dragold rolls his eyes. \"Let's go, Woemore. Let's add some rage to their sadness.\"\n\n \"Ooo, good point! Losing their valuables makes people angry too!\" Woemore darts for the exit.\n\n ...\n\nRamerez sits next to Cinder, watching Kala and Grace train.\n\n Lucy sits nearby him, trying her hand at origami.\n\n Ramerez is silent before asking, \"Do you allow the other Rangers to come to your dojo?\"\n\n \"Kira, but I never told the others where to find it,\" she replies. \"As I told Destro, many of my students do not approve of men. Kala, and Grace here are the only exceptions in fact.\"\n\n \"Well, they're coming to visit.\" Ramerez says. \"Do I let them in?\"\n\n \"At their peril,\" she says dryly. \"And you can quote me on that.\"\n\n He chuckles and stands. \"I shall.\" He walks away.\n\n Lucy hops up to ride on his shoulders with a giggle.\n\n He laughs and supports her, pretending he's a horse. He comes back with Kira and Trent. \"Well, I tried.\" He smiles, setting Lucy down.\n\n Cinder shrugs, \"Trent I can trust to watch his back around here, I was more concerned for the other two anyways.\"\n\n \"So how are you? Not trying to cheat the system by training?\" Kira giggles.\n\n \"I train my mind during my times of healing,\" Cinder replies. \"I've been injured worse than this before.\"\n\n \"Does Ramerez help with that?\"\n\n\"Indeed.\" He smiles. \"I have taught her a few techniques through mental combat. When she heals completely, I shall see how well she can do them for real.\"\n\n \"Not much different from my Chi illusions,\" Cinder notes.\n\nLucy raises her hand, \"I does them too! Lookie!\" She makes a hand sign, and in the air between them a butterfly starts fluttering around. It lands in Kira's nose, tickling a bit.\n\n Kira giggles. \"That's pretty good, Lucy!\"\n\n Lucy claps her hand, and the insect vanishes. \"Imma be the best ninja ever! Then Imma be the red ranger too!\"\n\n Kira giggles again. \"That's the Spirit!\"\n \nShe's then destracted by a moth in the room that she trots off to chase. Trent snorts, \"Sweet kid, wonder what she'll be like as a teenager...\"\n\n \"You'll find out when she gets there.\" Ramerez smiles. Using his chi, he mentally asks Cinder, \"Do we tell them about Destro?\"\n\n Cinder nods, \"And Kira... I have something I need you to pass along to Shadow, or convince him to come here for fifteen minutes.\"\n\n Kira nods. \"Sure! What is it?\"\n\n \"...I know who the Death Ranger is.\"\n\n Both Kira and Trent freeze. \"Really?!\"\n\n She nods, \"He's a student of my Grandsire's, and now currently runs his dojo... Ramerez however has a plan to deal with him.\"\n\n \"[i]I do?[/i]\" He asks mentally, blinking.\n\n\"Really? What is it?\" Kira asks curiously.\n\n \"He thinks I can persuade him away from Deboss as Cinder, not the red ranger.\"\n\n \"That's a good plan.\" Kira nods. \"We'll tell Shadow.\"\n\n \"Trent can tell him,\" Cinder says. \"You on the other hand have training.\"\n\n \"Oh! Of course!\" She nods and smiles.\n \n\"The same exercise as last time,\" Cinder says as she waves her off. \"400 strikes, per limb.\"\n \nShe nods, and walks away.\n\nRamerez watches her leave. \"Hm. You two took that information well.\"\n\n \"Why wouldn't we?\" Trent raises an eyebrow.\n\n \"No reason.\" Ramerez says quickly. \"Well, I'm sure the monster will attack again, see you later!\"\n\n Trent nods, and jogs outside, warping back to the Spirit base on a Manhole Cover.\n\n Ramere sighs. \"That was close...\"\n\n Cinder raises an eyebrow at him.\n\n \"I didn't need to let them know how emotional you got about it.\" He smiles gently, petting her shoulder.\n\n She smiles, \"Thank you, heaven forbid they think I'm actually Mobian for having emotions.\"\n\n He chuckles and wraps his arms around her in a gentle hug. \"It's a secret few should know about.\"\n\n She elbows him lightly with a smirk, \"Believe it or not Ramerez, I'm learning to trust the rangers. I wouldn't mind letting them see me vulnerable.\"\n\n \"But not [i]too[/i] vulnerable.\" He smiles gently. He then frowns and coughs, backing away a little. \"Have you forgone your shower again? That's not healthy.\"\n\n She scowls, \"You're the one telling me not to get my bandages wet.\"\n\n\"Still, hygiene is important! You're gonna shower if I have to wash you myself!\" He pauses before blushing. \"Er... I mean...\"\n\n \"Honestly, with how often you've seen me without clothing by the whims of the universe, and you're still apprehensive?\"\n\n \"...\" He didn't know how to respond to that one.\n\n She takes his mind, \"You were offering, correct?\"\n\n He slowly nods, embarrassed.\n\n She kisses his hand, \"Thank you.\"\n\n He blinks. \"R-really? You'll let me?\" He blushes more.\n\n She nods, \"I can handle my private areas myself if you find yourself too uncomfortable.\"\n\n He blushes more and bows. \"I... thank you.\" He unlocks her wheels and moves her to her room, closing and locking the door.\n\n She takes the blanket off her lap, and holds out her arms to wrap around his neck.\n \nHe hugs her around the waist and picks her up, holding her bridal style into the bathroom.\n\n He sets her on the edge of an artificial offspring before taking a deep breath and grabbing her top, slowly lifting it up, her breasts coming out in his face. He blushes more, taking her top and setting it off to the side.\n \n\nShe smiles, and unbuttons the long skirt she's grown used to wearing in loo of her pants.\n\nHe helps her remove it, eyeing her panties. \"Those look... cute on you.\"\n \nShe sighs, \"Thank you, though I find them uncomfortable...\"\n\n \"Then I shall take them off for you.\" He smiles, starting to purr, gently starting to pull them off.\n\n She sighs, \"Thank you, I swear, old friend or not, I am going to hurt Destro next time I see him...\"\n\n \"As long as you come out alive and in one piece.\" He eyes her vagina as he sets her panties aside, blushing.\n\n She raises her eyebrow at him, \"Ramerez... You're staring.\"\n\n \"Does that offend you...?\" He asks softly, looking up at her embarrassedly. \"I can't help but admire.\"\n\n She sighs, \"Thank you... But I thought you wanted to clean me?\"\n\n He nods, taking a wash rag and dipping it in the water before starting at her shoulders,\n\n She closes her eyes, \"This is nice... I haven't been washed by Any other than myself since I ran away from home.\"\n\n He smiles gently. \"Maybe I'll do it more often, then.\" He washes her arms before moving on to her hair.\n\n She leans her head back with a purr...\n\n He scrubbed it meticulously before gently working on her face.\n\n She keeps her eyes, and lips squeezed shut so soap doesn't get inside.\n\n He rinses her hair and face before moving down, washing her neck. He hesitates before asking, \"I... have your permission to wash your privates...?\"\n\n She thinks about it, and then nods, \"But that's it.\"\n\n He nods, applying more soap to the wash cloth, before gulping and starting to wash her breasts.\n\n She jerks at the foreign contact, but does not protest further.\n \nHe blushes, trying hard not to linger on her breasts. But he couldn't resist washing them a little longer, enjoying her warm mounds on his palms and her nipples stiffening at his rubbing. He then moves on to her stomach, washing it diligently.\n\n \"You... Enjoy touching me?\"\n\n He hesitates before nodding.\n\n She smiles, and leans sideways into him a bit.\n\n He smiles a little, purring as he moves on to her waist.\n\n She watches his hands, and slowly opens her legs for him.\n\n His eyes widen a little as he hesitantly moves towards her pussy.\n\n Cinder bites her lip a bit as she watches his hand.\n\n He slowly starts rubbing her pussy, blathering soap on her lower lips.\n\n She lets out a tiny moan, and squirms a bit as she fights the urge to close her legs.\n\n He moves on, washing around her leg cast as he does her legs.\n\n She purrs a little louder, and looks up at him.\n\n He purrs back at her, kissing her.\n\n Her tail wags against his leg as she opens her mouth for him.\n\n He purrs more, his tail wagging as well, as he starts French kissing her, washing her back. Thank goodness he wore heavy armor, he thought to himself, as he was turned on...\n\n She relaxes completely into him, her eyelids drooping like she may just fall asleep.\n\n He washes her behind before taking a bucket and filling it, wagging his tail.\n\n She sighs, utterly Content.\n\nHe slowly starts rinsing her body off, using his free hand to help. He starts with her arms before doing her back and behind.\n\n She moans quietly, \"Curse my leg for not being healed right now.\"\n\n \"Why? Are you not enjoying this?\" He smiles gently, rubbing her breasts as he rinses them.\n\n She nods, and opens her eyes.\n\n He smiles and continues working his way down, rinsing her stomach and rubbing soap from her pussy. \"Well, soon you'll be healed. And then we can go on a normal date.\"\n\n She licks her lips as her purring gets louder. \"That sounds nice...\"\n\n He moves on, being careful with her legs. He then sets the bucket aside, and grabs a towel, starting to dry her off. \"How does it feel though, being pampered for a change?\"\n\n She kisses him by way of response.\n\n He purrs happily, massaging her gently.\n \n Cinder blushes, \"We really shouldn't go too far...\"\n \nHe sighs a little, drying her off. \"I guess...\"\n\n She looks away, \"I just simply do not support premarital sex…\"\n\n He nods. \"I understand...\"\n\n She smiles, and kisses him gently on the neck.\n\n \"If only we could do it in our dreams, like training...\" he sighs, smiling gently as he kisses her back.\n\n \"Not happening,\" she replies. \"Sex is where I draw the line before marriage.\"\n\n \"Very well... I respect that decision...\" He says softly, nodding. He stands and gets her some new clothes.\n\n She sighs as she glares at her injured leg.\n\n He comes back with them. \"No bras at all?\" He smiles, holding a top, a skirt, and panties.\n\n \"No,\" she admits. My top serves well enough for support.\"\n\n \"That's pretty hot.\" He winks. \"Do you normally forgo panties too?\" He hands over her top.\n\n \"Yes, they chafe,\" she says as she dresses.\n\n \"Do you sleep naked or something?\" He wags his tail at the thought, helping her slip on the panties.\n\n \"Actually yes,\" she says.\n\n \"If only I had a girl like you when I was alive...\" he sighs, helping her with her skirt.\n\n\"You mean one you could dress, and bathe as you pleased?\"\n\n\"No. One strong at all times, but gentle enough to love.\" He kisses her gently. \"One who is a warrior, but also my princess to care for.\"\n\n Cinder snorts, \"Princess?\"\n\n \"What else would I call you, last of the Sea Clan?\" He smiles gently.\n\n \"Surely not a Princess,\" she replies. \"I have no royal right.\"\n\n \"Like I said, a princess to me.\" He smiles gently.\n\n She smiles, and looks up at him, \"Then could you help me to my throne?\"\n\n He smiles gently and carries her to her wheelchair.\n\n She kisses his cheek, \"Thank you for being here for me.\"\n\n He kisses her back. \"I won't leave you.\" He pushes her back out of her room.\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Woemore is sob in in a corner, "We didn't destroy the rangers, they have their powers back, and Crimson was a traitor! I'm gonna cry a new SEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Waterfalls spurt from his eyes.

 Dragold whacks the back of his head with a growl. "Flood us, and I'll kill you."

 "HITTING ME ONLY MAKES ME CRY MOOOOOOORRRRRRRE!!!"

 "How irritating." Dragold growls. "At least I got a Morpher out of it." He holds up the Dino Charger.

 Slowly Woemore pulls himself together, and Candelira pats his shoulder, "There there, just keep smiling!"

 D walks by silently, not giving anyone a glance as he stalks by.

"...Geez, I could feel the rage pouring off of him that time." Dragold blinks.

 Luckerio nods, "He's been that way since the last battle."

Candelira taps her chin, "Maybe he had been hoping not to be the only Mobian around here...?"

 "Mobians do seem to enjoy each other's company." Luckerio agrees.

"Well whatever it is, if he keeps being mad then we'll have rage filled in no time!" Dragold smirks. "In fact, we need more sad. You're lagging behind, Woemore!"

 "Me?! I was nearly killed by that white ranger!"

 "Candelira succeeded in getting two bars of joy with her monster, while you got beat up. I'm not impressed." He states.

 Woemore gestures at Candelira, "That was Crimson's plan while Candelira went to watch a movie!!!" Then he pauses, "Well... There are a few monsters I've been saving for a special occasion..."

 "Good! Get them out and collect sadness before Ruin comes back and yells at us for losing Crimson!" Candelira pushes Woemore gently.

 Woemore runs over, and touches the sadness pillar, "D says he hurt her pretty badly last battle, and even that White Ranger won't be able to hurt this one!"

Smoke raps from the pillar, and forms into a monster wearing goggles, a Van Helsing hat, and a black cape. Woemore rubs his hands together, "This one is one of my favorites! With him helping we can't lose! It makes me want to cry with joy!!!"

 "Hm... he looks familiar..." Dragold muses.

 "He should!" Woemore holds up the cape, "This Unbreakable Mantle was a gift from me! What he does is he finds what living beings want most, and takes it, no matter what it is! He spreads so much sadness it makes me shed a tear!"

 "Lucky! We should get tons of sadness with this guy!" Luckerio cheers.

Woemore cheers with Candelira, holding her hands as they hop in a circle.

...

Cinder has been put into a wheelchair until her ribs, and leg heals. Yet she refuses to neglect her duties at the Crimson Lotus Dojo.

 Ramerez also refused to leave her alone with her injuries, thus making him the first man to be in her dojo.

"...And that's how I became Ankydon's partner." Ramerez smiles at Lucy.

 Lucy is utterly captivated by the story, and Cinder chuckles, "Congratulations, you've set a new record for getting her to sit still."

 "And I haven't even started with my stories of adventures. Or how I became Kyoryu Cyan!" He smirks.

 "Please!" Lucy bounces on his lap.

Cinder checks the clock, "I apologize Lucy, we have an appointment with Shadow in fifteen minutes."

 "When we come back, little one. Now go train. Maybe one day you'll be the next Kyoryu Cyan!" He smiles gently and pats her head.

 "Nuh-uh, Imma be red too!" She giggles at Cinder.

Cinder watches her trot off as she wheels for the front door.

 "So full of Bravery." Ramerez chuckles, catching up to her.

 Cinder chuckles, "Indeed she is. Perhaps one day she may very well be a Ranger."

 "A strong one, like her Sifu." He smiles and walks to the portal.

 Cinder rolls on top of it, "Thank you Ramerez. I do the best I can."

 He unholstered her gun and fires at the manhole, warping them to the Spirit Base.
 She nods to him, and balances on the rear wheels as she maneuvers down the steps, "Hello Torin."

 He bows. "Hello Cinder. I trust Ramerez is behaving himself?"

 She nods, "Quite. Where are the others?"

 They come from the portal at that exact moment.

"Good, you're here." Shadow nods to Cinder.

 "Of course," she nods to them all.

 "Go ahead, Conner." Shadow says, checking on Cinder's injuries.

 Conner smiles as he dramatically hops up on the table, "Friends! Comrades! Cinder." Cinder smirks as Conner nods to her.

 Shadow rolls his eyes and mutters to himself as he checks the bandage on Cinder's cheek.

 Conner claps his hands together, "Alright, seriously though. It's good to have the Dino Thunder powers back, right?"

 "Of course." Ethan nods.

 Conner gestures to Shadow, "And Doc, thanks for giving up the Zeo Crystal."

 "You'd better be grateful. Zordon gave that to me." Shadow states, standing and stepping away from Cinder, satisfied that nothing was wrong.

 Conner nods, "But you proved one thing Shadow. The best Power Ranger, is a veteran Power Ranger... Now there's five of us." He turns to Torin, "We are Kyoryuger... But we'll always be Dino Thunder."

 "I understand." Torin nods.

 Conner holds out his hand, "That being said... I'd like Parasagun back please."

 Torin smiles and hands Conner his battery. "I assume all of you want your batteries?"

 Ethan nods, and they step forward.

 He hands them all back before turning to Cinder. "If I give you your battery, will you promise not to use it until you're able?"

 She nods, "Of course."

 He hands it to her with a smile. "Welcome back to the team. Officially, at least."

 Cinder nods, "Shadow... Do I keep my Scythe? I'm not fond of those revolvers."

 Shadow smiles. "I'll make it your Morpher."

She looks relieved, "Thank you."

 He nods with a smile. "I'll make sure it's backwards compatible with our gear."

 She nods, "Alright then. I cannot express how glad I am to be back."

 "It's good to have you back." Ramerez smiles gently.

 An ominous wind blows Torin's moustache.

 "Deboss monster! It's attacking downtown!" Torin gasps.

"Let's go, Rangers!" Shadow commands, activating his Dino Morpher.

 Cinder sighs, "So soon... Why must it take so long for broken bones to heal?"

 "To teach us to not break them?" Ethan suggests as the other Rangers unholster their guns.

 She growls quietly, and slumps in her chair.

 Ramerez grabs her arm comfortingly. "Come. We're no good here. Let us train our minds."

 Cinder scowls, "No good..."

 "Ready Rangers?" Shadow asks.

"Ready! Brave In!" They activate their batteries, and load them into their barrels. "Kyoryu Change!" They spin their barrels and start dancing.

"Dinothunder, Power Up!" Shadow inserts his key and turns it flipping as his costume flies onto him.

"Fire!" The others fire up, and their costumes get chomped on.

All of their helmets appear at the same time. "Dino Power!"

They jump into the portal, and warp away.

 Cinder watches them go sadly, and takes Ramerez's hand. "There... Is a place I would like to see again..."

 He nods quietly. "Then let's go."

Torin watches the two leave without a word.

...

 Cinder rides the bus to a little property out by the sea.

 Ramerez sits next to her, looking out the window. "Where is this?"

 "The site of my Grandsire's dojo," she says. "While I was away he passed, and with no accountable successor the property was seized by the city... I had heard t was turned into a vacation resort for tourists from the Dragon Kingdoms..."

 "Really?" He stares at the property. "...You sure? It looks like a dojo to me..."

 "It does have the oriental feel to it, but..." She pauses as she stares at the property. There is no bustle of cars, and tourists. Slowly she starts wheeling towards the building.

 Ramerez starts pushing her for her, going to the front door.

"No! Pivot more!" A male voice commands. "Again!"

The sound of students in unison is heard.

Cinder gasps quietly, "Ramerez, faster please, I don't trust myself not to break this chair."

He opens the door to let them in, the sound of students training coming in louder.

"Faster Thomas! You're trying to hit someone with that slash!" The same man states.

Cinder ignores the pain in her ribs as she leans forward trying to see who spoke.
 
A blood red echidna in a navy blue gi with red detailing on the cuffs and edges and a red belt with a gold stripe on it is watching a student, holding a wooden sword very familiarly. "Jimmy. You're trading technique for speed again."

"Sorry Sifu..."

 Cinder stares, "...Destro...?"

 He glances back before returning to his students. "This is a boys only school, if you- Cinder?" He does a double take. "Cinder?! Is that you?"
 
 She stares blankly at him, and slowly rolls over, "Destro... How...? When...?" She looks up at him from her seated position.
 
"Students. Class dismissed for now." Destro waves his students to leave.

They all bow and leave the mat. He bows off and steps off the mat, walking over. "I could ask you the same." He eyes her wheelchair.

 She rubs an armrest, "The irony is not lost on me."

 "I guess a lot has changed since then..." He smiles gently. "How long has it been? A millennium?"

 She chuckles, "A decade. My predicament is not permanent however, just a few broken ribs, and my leg."

She looks back at Ramerez, "Destro was a student of my Grandsire, the one I spoke of when we were discussing my mask."

 "Ah, so that's why you wear it." Destro nods. "Who is this? Your suitor?"

 Cinder nods, "Ramerez is a fine warrior, and man to boot. He's one of the few good men I ever met, and so I decided to take a chance."

 Ramerez bows. "I am Ramerez... Ramerez... Ankydon!" He smiles, feeling clever.

Destro bows back. "Destro Magmastorm. Headmaster of this dojo. You're a lucky man, Ramerez. She's a tough one, don't let go."

Cinder's smile fades, "Destro... I know an apology will not suffice for all those years ago... But it's all I can offer. I was hot-blooded, proud, and very uncompromising in my beliefs." She pauses, "...In hindsight I suppose I haven't changed in those regards. However the years have made me wiser, and..." She stares at the floor, "...I'm sorry..."

 He stares at her before slowly taking a knee and patting her arm. "For you to push aside your pride and apologize is a wonderful thing. I accept your apology. I also apologize for what I said... even though you completely took it out of context and broke my back."

 She smiles, "I knew what you were doing, you were protecting your pride in front of Eli. What really drove me was I considered it two-faced, and deceitful. It felt like you had betrayed my trust."

 "I suppose." He sighs, rubbing the back of his head. "I admit, you were probably stronger than me at that time. But even when I was confined to a wheelchair, I focused on using my sword." He holds up his wooden sword, amazingly the same sword albeit worn and covered in marks.

 Cinder puts a hand on his, "The same from our years as children... Thank you for saving the dojo."

 "I couldn't let some snobbish rich guy take away the one place I called home." He smiles gently. He brushes a hand through her hair, placing his hand on the bandage on her cheek and gently touching it. "The one place I felt I belong, with those I love."

 She nods, and raises an eyebrow, "Boys only?"

 He nods slowly, standing. "Back when I first got this place, I was still stewing over how you broke me. I didn't want any kid to feel the pain that I did, so I made it a boys only dojo. Even after I got over it, I didn't really see any reason to change it. After all, you made an all girl dojo. Girls aren't the only ones that are used and then cast aside."

 She nods, "Grandsire wouldn't approve the both of us do ruminating students..."

 "Maybe we should join them again." He smiles. "It's honestly lonely being the only instructor."

She thinks, "...Our students are too used to their ways of life. Our schools can interact, but attempting a full integration could be risky."

 "Very true." He says thoughtfully. "...Perhaps we'll do tournaments, get them used to each other through combat? It worked for us as children."

 "That it did," she smiles. "Sadly some of my warriors despise men... And I did nothing to dissuade them."

 "Hence, combat." He smiles gently. "Interaction is key. I'll let you think, though. I don't want to rush you to make a decision." He turns and shakes Ramerez's hand. "Thank you for taking care of her."

Ramerez smiles with a nod. "It's a joy to help her."

"I'll bet." He winks and turns. "You may stay and watch, and come visit any time." He claps his hands, his students returning and bowing onto the mat.

 Cinder sighs as she leans back into her chair, locking her wheels in place.

 The students surround him, and take fighting stances.

He looks around, blinking before smiling. "Surprise showdown already?" He moves his sword a little, ready.

The students all attack him at once, and he disappears as they trap him. He knocks them all away with his sword, smirking. "Good, attacking together is key. But don't just rush me, use your techniques."

 Cinder taps the armrest of her chair, "Depending on the reach of their chosen weapons, they can only attack him four to six people at a time..."

 Ramerez tilts his head. "Indeed."

Two with swords and two with maces swing at him, and he blocks them all as he drops to a knee and raises his sword. He then spins on one knee as he trips them all with his other leg, standing. "Don't depend solely on your weapons. You could've kicked me." He states.

 Cinder nods, "Weapons best serve to counteract other weapons. The wielder is what inevitably decides the battle."

 He smiles at her before dodging an axe. "Good! You might've cleaved my head off!" He kicks the student in the gut as he hooks his other leg around the student's neck, throwing him to the ground. "Where was the follow up? You should always have a follow up should your attack miss. After all, you're wide open after you swing!"

 Cinder nods, "Very sound teaching... Grandsire wouldn't approve of all his students attacking like this, but it does inspire unity."

 "...He does seem a bit more eager to die than I originally thought." Ramerez blinks.

"It's not suicidal if I don't die!" Destro winks, jumping and spinning between two whips. "Whoop! Nice!"

 "He seems to be enjoying himself," Cinder muses.
 
He lands and reaches into his gi, pulling out a wooden boomerang. He throws it and knocks down the remaining students. "Where are your blocks?! Don't sacrifice defense for offense!" He chastises, catching the boomerang.

"Sorry Sifu..." They all get up and bow.

 Cinder blinks slowly, and unlocks her wheels.

 He sighs and shakes his head. "Tomorrow we will work on what you all failed today. Rest." He bows to all of them as them bow back.

 Cinder turns, and slowly starts rolling out of the dojo.

 Ramerez blinks, and quickly moves after her. "Thank you, Destro! We'll come again!"

Destro smiles and waves. "Okay, bye!"

Ramerez catches up to Cinder, and starts pushing her. "What's wrong?"

 Cinder doesn't speak, she just keeps moving.

 Ramerez blinks. "Where do you want to go?"

 "Away from here."

 "...Well then, let's go back to your dojo. We need to change your wrappings." He says finally, taking her Dino Charger and shooting a manhole, warping them just outside her dojo.

 As he walks past her he notices she is quivering... And the wet spots peppering her lap.

 "Hey..." He takes her hands gently. "What's wrong?"

 "Haven't you figured it out yet Ramerez? Destro uses a combination of sword, and boomerang..." She looks up at him, "And the Death Ranger knew me by face, and name."

 Ramerez blinks, before slowly understanding. "...Oh dear..."

 Cinder bows over her lap, "It's my fault... Destro is the Death Ranger..."

 Ramerez gently hugs her. "...I... don't know what to say..."

 She hugs him back, her shoulders gently shaking.

 He pulls away a little, looking her in the eyes. "Maybe it was your fault. But you mended a broken bridge today. Just keep doing it... and maybe Deathryuger will be no more." He brushes a dreadlock from her face, along with some tears. "One step at a time. Just like everything else. Training. Combat. Love." He moves in, and softly brushes her lips against his.

 She closes her eyes. The contact cheers her up some, but not completely.

 "Let's continue this inside." He murmurs softly, pushing her inside.

 She allows him to push her, her hands cupped over her face.

...

Conner groans, "We've been out here for thirty minutes, are you sure Torin says he's here?"

 "Positive. He's never wrong." Shadow states.

 "Then where is he," Ethan whines. "Or her... IT!"

 "If I knew..." Shadow's voice becomes laced with sarcasm, "I think you'd know."

 Kira points off to the side, "Look!" Over by a river there's a woman crying.

 Ethan walks over. "Hey lady, you okay?"

 She shakes her head, "it's gone... It's all gone..."

 "What's gone?" Conner asks when they come over.

 She wipes her eyes, and holds up a life jacket in front of her, "Ever since my little boy Jason was old enough to talk he wanted to sail... He worked so hard, getting together the money on his own, and bought his own sailboat. This river is deep enough, wide enough, and leads right into the ocean."

She sobs, and then looks back at them, "We were going to launch the boat from here... I stepped off it long enough to get this... And when I turn around someone sucks the boat into thin air... With my son..."

 Ethan blinks. "But... that's impossible! Matter can't be created or destroyed."

 Trent smacks him up the back of the head, "You really think he laws of science apply where mystical monsters from the age of dinosaurs are concerned?"

 "I do, in fact." He scowls, rubbing the back of his head.

 Conner puts a hand on the woman's shoulder, "Did you see where this man went?"

She nods, and points to a bridge up the river.

 "Let's go!" Kira says, running that way.

 Conner, and Trent are right after her. "Hey wait for me," Ethan shouts as he runs to catch up.

 Kira looks around with a frown.

 A laugh up ahead draws her attention as she spots the monster with the black cape.

 "Hey!" She fires at it with her Dino Charger.

He deflects the shot with his cape, "Oooo... Tell me, what is it you enjoy most?"

 "Defeating monsters." Conner growls. "Ready guys?" He pulls out his battery.

 "Well then!" He holds up a hand, and batteries are sucked from the rangers, flying towards him.

 "Hey! Those are ours!" Conner growls. They all pull out another set of batteries.

The monster raises its hand to take those too.

 Ethan smirks and activates his hard skin, jumping and letting the monster take him along with his Morpher. He slams into the monster hard.

 It goes rolling, the batteries scattering from its grip.

 "Catch!" Ethan tosses the batteries to his teammates, and activates his. "Brave In!"

 They press theirs too. "BRAVE IN!"

They load their batteries into their guns. "Armed On!"

 Trent draws his sword , holding it in a reverse grip as he tries to slash the monster to bits, yet he just can't penetrate that cape.

 "Give us back everything that you stole!" Conner shouts, blasting it.

 The monster blocks with his cape, "Nice try! And why are there two black rangers on one team? One is more than enough..." He flings out a hand, and Shadow starts getting sucked up.

"Because fuck you, that's why." Shadow growls. "Brachio Staff, Energy Orb!" He fires the orb at the monster. "Racist prick." He mutters.

 The monster blocks with his cape, and the energy just rolls off him like the wind. "How am I racist?! You're a black ranger, and the rabbit is a black ranger too!"

 "And you the one complaining about it. Racist." Conner shoots him again.
 
He deflects the shots, "I'm not racist!!!"

 "Someone's jammies are ruffled." Kira giggles, charging up and slashing it.

 He blocks with the cape around his arms in an X before kicking her away, "Seriously, what with you guys?! I'm black too! Therefore I cannot be racist for saying someone is black!"

 "Then you should be fine." Shadow states, slashing him.
 
The monster spins so the blow catches him in the cape, and the slams an elbow into Shadow's head.

 As Shadow falls, He throws a Chaos Spear point blank into the monster's crotch.

 The monster lets or a high-pitch scream, and topples to the ground while holding his nuts. "That was low," he squeaks out.

 "If you're gonna play dirty with a cape, then we're allowed cheap shots. Should've thought of that." Shadow states, grabbing the vault door on the monster's chest.
 
"No, this is playing dirty!" He knocks Shadow away with a kick to the throat, and then starts trying to get to his feet.

 "No, this is. Brave In!" Conner loads battery twenty into his gun.

Gaburincho! Gurumonite!

"Fire!" He fires it, and it explodes into green dust on impact.
 
When the dust clears... The monster is gone.

 "Dammit!" Conner growls.

Shadow rubs his throat, hissing. "Nice shot..."

 Ethan facepalms, "Really man? The dude is a thief, and you shot a smokescreen at him?!"

 "It wasn't smokescreen, dude. It was the confuse battery. At least it'll incapacitate him for a while, wherever he is." Conner scowls.

 "Well it worked just as well as a smokescreen," Trent points out. "Chaos, I wish all of us were here. Cinder could sense him..."

 "Well, she's recovering rather quickly." Shadow stands shakily. "As long as she doesn't make anything worse, she'll be out of her leg cast the day after tomorrow, and better than before a day after that."

 Trent nods, "Speaking of, until this monster shows up again we should have time to go back, and check up on her."

 "You mean check on the happy couple?" Kira giggles.

 "That's part of it," Trent says with a shrug.

 "I'll leave you guys to it. I'm working on something back at the lab." Shadow powers down. "See you later. Chaos Control!" He warps away.

 Trent jerks his head, "C'mon guys."

 They nod and follow.

...

Woemore waves a hand, "Oh don't worry, that was only a skirmish Dragold. My monster survived meeting he rangers, which is more than you can say for both of your monsters." He points between Dragold, and Candelira.

"Shut up. You're irritating me." Dragold growls.

 "You don't have to be so mean," Candelira crosses her arms, and looks away.

"Well it's true," Woemore says.

 "So why is he missing right now?" D walks in.

 "Oh they shot him with some kind of Confuse Bullet, but it'll wear off soon. Look at how much sadness he's already gathered!" Woemore gestures to his pillar.

 "Not as much as that Destro person collected from our deserter." D states, his hand subtly gripping his sword tighter. "I knew making the deal with him would bite one day."

 "Actually she was more of a mole," Canedlria says thoughtfully.

"I thought she was an echidna," Luckerio muses.

Candelira shakes her head, "No, by 'Mole' I'm talking about a spy."

 "She's overcome by sadness and rage. Even when she's not with us anymore, she helps us." D continues as if he was never interrupted.

Woemore shrugs, "When did we say she wasn't useful? Has Ruin been told about her yet?"

 "I would assume he knows. He knows everything we do usually." D states.

 "We haven't heard from him in a while," Candelira muses.

 "He's making sure Pterathundron stays on our side." D says, turning. "If you need me, I'll be training." He warps away.

"That guy's hard to read." Candelira muses.

 "Sometimes he scares me," Luckerio mutters.

 "More than Dragold?" Candelira giggles.

"Women." Dragold rolls his eyes. "Let's go, Woemore. Let's add some rage to their sadness."

 "Ooo, good point! Losing their valuables makes people angry too!" Woemore darts for the exit.

 ...

Ramerez sits next to Cinder, watching Kala and Grace train.

 Lucy sits nearby him, trying her hand at origami.

 Ramerez is silent before asking, "Do you allow the other Rangers to come to your dojo?"

 "Kira, but I never told the others where to find it," she replies. "As I told Destro, many of my students do not approve of men. Kala, and Grace here are the only exceptions in fact."

 "Well, they're coming to visit." Ramerez says. "Do I let them in?"

 "At their peril," she says dryly. "And you can quote me on that."

 He chuckles and stands. "I shall." He walks away.

 Lucy hops up to ride on his shoulders with a giggle.

 He laughs and supports her, pretending he's a horse. He comes back with Kira and Trent. "Well, I tried." He smiles, setting Lucy down.

 Cinder shrugs, "Trent I can trust to watch his back around here, I was more concerned for the other two anyways."

 "So how are you? Not trying to cheat the system by training?" Kira giggles.

 "I train my mind during my times of healing," Cinder replies. "I've been injured worse than this before."

 "Does Ramerez help with that?"

"Indeed." He smiles. "I have taught her a few techniques through mental combat. When she heals completely, I shall see how well she can do them for real."

 "Not much different from my Chi illusions," Cinder notes.

Lucy raises her hand, "I does them too! Lookie!" She makes a hand sign, and in the air between them a butterfly starts fluttering around. It lands in Kira's nose, tickling a bit.

 Kira giggles. "That's pretty good, Lucy!"

 Lucy claps her hand, and the insect vanishes. "Imma be the best ninja ever! Then Imma be the red ranger too!"

 Kira giggles again. "That's the Spirit!"
 
She's then destracted by a moth in the room that she trots off to chase. Trent snorts, "Sweet kid, wonder what she'll be like as a teenager..."

 "You'll find out when she gets there." Ramerez smiles. Using his chi, he mentally asks Cinder, "Do we tell them about Destro?"

 Cinder nods, "And Kira... I have something I need you to pass along to Shadow, or convince him to come here for fifteen minutes."

 Kira nods. "Sure! What is it?"

 "...I know who the Death Ranger is."

 Both Kira and Trent freeze. "Really?!"

 She nods, "He's a student of my Grandsire's, and now currently runs his dojo... Ramerez however has a plan to deal with him."

 "I do?" He asks mentally, blinking.

"Really? What is it?" Kira asks curiously.

 "He thinks I can persuade him away from Deboss as Cinder, not the red ranger."

 "That's a good plan." Kira nods. "We'll tell Shadow."

 "Trent can tell him," Cinder says. "You on the other hand have training."

 "Oh! Of course!" She nods and smiles.
 
"The same exercise as last time," Cinder says as she waves her off. "400 strikes, per limb."
 
She nods, and walks away.

Ramerez watches her leave. "Hm. You two took that information well."

 "Why wouldn't we?" Trent raises an eyebrow.

 "No reason." Ramerez says quickly. "Well, I'm sure the monster will attack again, see you later!"

 Trent nods, and jogs outside, warping back to the Spirit base on a Manhole Cover.

 Ramere sighs. "That was close..."

 Cinder raises an eyebrow at him.

 "I didn't need to let them know how emotional you got about it." He smiles gently, petting her shoulder.

 She smiles, "Thank you, heaven forbid they think I'm actually Mobian for having emotions."

 He chuckles and wraps his arms around her in a gentle hug. "It's a secret few should know about."

 She elbows him lightly with a smirk, "Believe it or not Ramerez, I'm learning to trust the rangers. I wouldn't mind letting them see me vulnerable."

 "But not too vulnerable." He smiles gently. He then frowns and coughs, backing away a little. "Have you forgone your shower again? That's not healthy."

 She scowls, "You're the one telling me not to get my bandages wet."

"Still, hygiene is important! You're gonna shower if I have to wash you myself!" He pauses before blushing. "Er... I mean..."

 "Honestly, with how often you've seen me without clothing by the whims of the universe, and you're still apprehensive?"

 "..." He didn't know how to respond to that one.

 She takes his mind, "You were offering, correct?"

 He slowly nods, embarrassed.

 She kisses his hand, "Thank you."

 He blinks. "R-really? You'll let me?" He blushes more.

 She nods, "I can handle my private areas myself if you find yourself too uncomfortable."

 He blushes more and bows. "I... thank you." He unlocks her wheels and moves her to her room, closing and locking the door.

 She takes the blanket off her lap, and holds out her arms to wrap around his neck.
 
He hugs her around the waist and picks her up, holding her bridal style into the bathroom.

 He sets her on the edge of an artificial offspring before taking a deep breath and grabbing her top, slowly lifting it up, her breasts coming out in his face. He blushes more, taking her top and setting it off to the side.
 

She smiles, and unbuttons the long skirt she's grown used to wearing in loo of her pants.

He helps her remove it, eyeing her panties. "Those look... cute on you."
 
She sighs, "Thank you, though I find them uncomfortable..."

 "Then I shall take them off for you." He smiles, starting to purr, gently starting to pull them off.

 She sighs, "Thank you, I swear, old friend or not, I am going to hurt Destro next time I see him..."

 "As long as you come out alive and in one piece." He eyes her vagina as he sets her panties aside, blushing.

 She raises her eyebrow at him, "Ramerez... You're staring."

 "Does that offend you...?" He asks softly, looking up at her embarrassedly. "I can't help but admire."

 She sighs, "Thank you... But I thought you wanted to clean me?"

 He nods, taking a wash rag and dipping it in the water before starting at her shoulders,

 She closes her eyes, "This is nice... I haven't been washed by Any other than myself since I ran away from home."

 He smiles gently. "Maybe I'll do it more often, then." He washes her arms before moving on to her hair.

 She leans her head back with a purr...

 He scrubbed it meticulously before gently working on her face.

 She keeps her eyes, and lips squeezed shut so soap doesn't get inside.

 He rinses her hair and face before moving down, washing her neck. He hesitates before asking, "I... have your permission to wash your privates...?"

 She thinks about it, and then nods, "But that's it."

 He nods, applying more soap to the wash cloth, before gulping and starting to wash her breasts.

 She jerks at the foreign contact, but does not protest further.
 
He blushes, trying hard not to linger on her breasts. But he couldn't resist washing them a little longer, enjoying her warm mounds on his palms and her nipples stiffening at his rubbing. He then moves on to her stomach, washing it diligently.

 "You... Enjoy touching me?"

 He hesitates before nodding.

 She smiles, and leans sideways into him a bit.

 He smiles a little, purring as he moves on to her waist.

 She watches his hands, and slowly opens her legs for him.

 His eyes widen a little as he hesitantly moves towards her pussy.

 Cinder bites her lip a bit as she watches his hand.

 He slowly starts rubbing her pussy, blathering soap on her lower lips.

 She lets out a tiny moan, and squirms a bit as she fights the urge to close her legs.

 He moves on, washing around her leg cast as he does her legs.

 She purrs a little louder, and looks up at him.

 He purrs back at her, kissing her.

 Her tail wags against his leg as she opens her mouth for him.

 He purrs more, his tail wagging as well, as he starts French kissing her, washing her back. Thank goodness he wore heavy armor, he thought to himself, as he was turned on...

 She relaxes completely into him, her eyelids drooping like she may just fall asleep.

 He washes her behind before taking a bucket and filling it, wagging his tail.

 She sighs, utterly Content.

He slowly starts rinsing her body off, using his free hand to help. He starts with her arms before doing her back and behind.

 She moans quietly, "Curse my leg for not being healed right now."

 "Why? Are you not enjoying this?" He smiles gently, rubbing her breasts as he rinses them.

 She nods, and opens her eyes.

 He smiles and continues working his way down, rinsing her stomach and rubbing soap from her pussy. "Well, soon you'll be healed. And then we can go on a normal date."

 She licks her lips as her purring gets louder. "That sounds nice..."

 He moves on, being careful with her legs. He then sets the bucket aside, and grabs a towel, starting to dry her off. "How does it feel though, being pampered for a change?"

 She kisses him by way of response.

 He purrs happily, massaging her gently.
 
 Cinder blushes, "We really shouldn't go too far..."
 
He sighs a little, drying her off. "I guess..."

 She looks away, "I just simply do not support premarital sex…"

 He nods. "I understand..."

 She smiles, and kisses him gently on the neck.

 "If only we could do it in our dreams, like training..." he sighs, smiling gently as he kisses her back.

 "Not happening," she replies. "Sex is where I draw the line before marriage."

 "Very well... I respect that decision..." He says softly, nodding. He stands and gets her some new clothes.

 She sighs as she glares at her injured leg.

 He comes back with them. "No bras at all?" He smiles, holding a top, a skirt, and panties.

 "No," she admits. My top serves well enough for support."

 "That's pretty hot." He winks. "Do you normally forgo panties too?" He hands over her top.

 "Yes, they chafe," she says as she dresses.

 "Do you sleep naked or something?" He wags his tail at the thought, helping her slip on the panties.

 "Actually yes," she says.

 "If only I had a girl like you when I was alive..." he sighs, helping her with her skirt.

"You mean one you could dress, and bathe as you pleased?"

"No. One strong at all times, but gentle enough to love." He kisses her gently. "One who is a warrior, but also my princess to care for."

 Cinder snorts, "Princess?"

 "What else would I call you, last of the Sea Clan?" He smiles gently.

 "Surely not a Princess," she replies. "I have no royal right."

 "Like I said, a princess to me." He smiles gently.

 She smiles, and looks up at him, "Then could you help me to my throne?"

 He smiles gently and carries her to her wheelchair.

 She kisses his cheek, "Thank you for being here for me."

 He kisses her back. "I won't leave you." He pushes her back out of her room.
