Chapter Three: Enter Sapphire Ranger


Mark and his team fought Azazel's foot soldiers, majority of them easy to knock down. Azazel swung his staff as the morphed rangers avoided. Sean called on his daggers while Kat and Tara called on their weapons.

"Blazing Spear!" Tara exclaimed.

She swung her spear destroying a group of Dark Angels.

"Blitz Daggers! Golden Blade mode!" Sean yelled as his weapons glowed golden and he struck the dark angels before they could attack.

"Silver Crossbow!" Katrina yelled.

Her weapon transformed from a bow into a crossbow an arrow already protruding from the weapon. "Hold still," she said.

The Dark angels made metallic noises as if they were confused. Katrina's bow glowed and an arrow sent the dark angels into a frenzy before they disintegrated. Mark and Sam were going up against Azazel who was fighting them and not even breaking a sweat.

"This is nothing! You've lost your touch rangers!" Azazel taunted.

Azazel backed away only to power up his staff. He shot a fireball at the black and red rangers; it hit their suits and sent them careening into the rest of the team so hard that it forced them to dimorph.

"Too bad, so sad," Azazel laughed.

He raised his staff and as he was bringing it down a circular weapon with a sharpened outer edge flew and struck Azazel's staff causing sparks, it flew around and destroyed each dark angel before returning to its owner.

"What the hell?!" Azazel yelled.

The rangers all turned and gasped at the sight of the Sapphire ranger holding the weapon.

"Need a hand?" the Sapphire Ranger asked. "Guess I thought I would jump in with my Chakram."

Azazel stumbled back shocked about there being a new ranger. Snapping out of his reaction, he ordered a flock of Dark Angels to attack the new ranger. The new ranger jumped in and held onto her chakram and an ancient sword that swelled near its tip. The sword resembled a linear leaf. It helped to maintain the distance between the user and their enemies.

Mark watched from a distance wondering why the Sapphire ranger was so familiar.

Although, he thought that he was imagining things. The last thing he remembered was leaving his girlfriend at the bunker. Shaking his head, he stood followed by the other rangers. Ready to take on Azazel but it seemed the Sapphire ranger had it all covered. As Azazel fled out of fear from being destroyed. The Sapphire ranger cheered at her first attempt to fighting the monster.

Amy was so pleased with the battle that she approached the rangers.

"Who are you?" Sam asked.

"How did you do that?" Katrina questioned.

"What kind of weapon is that?" Tara asked.

"Whatever it is, thanks for the help," Sean responded.

"How about all of us head back to the bunker and stop bombarding her with questions?" Mark suggested. The rangers took off back to the bunker. Of course, Amy was a bit worried. She couldn't figure out how to tell Mark that she was the Sapphire ranger. Pushing her thoughts aside, she along with everyone else got back to the bunker safely. Upon arrival, Colby greeted them a safe return. The rangers had so many questions that they were hard to answer.

"One thing at a time," Colby said. "I know you are shocked and confused but I'll explain..." Colby continued. "I discovered the sapphire jewel when my computer picked it up,"

The rangers paused. Listening. Amy remained quiet.

"The sapphire jewel had always been around even before the other colors. Years ago, back in ancient Greece, The God Apollo created it, with the help of his twin sister Artemis," Colby started to explain.

*~*~*

~730 BC~

The titans were on the loose, causing chaos throughout Greece. Creatures and monsters alike attacked civilians, cries of help were sounded throughout the country as the people prayed to Apollo and Artemis for help.

Concerned for their people, Apollo and Artemis met on Delos to discuss a plan. They decided that by creating the stone of protection, it would give the wearer enormous power to defend the innocents. The twins combined their powers of light and night creating a sapphire jewel. Ensuring the security of the jewel, after its creation, the twins turned to Hephaestus, their half-brother. Giving him the task to creating the weapons in his forge, Artemis and Apollo told him:

"Brother, we have created this jewel of protection," Apollo said. "Our powers of light and night are put into this jewel," he continued. "With this it will keep the people safe, we need a chain that the user can wear inconspicuously,"

"We also need weapons which will allow the user to fight." Artemis chimed in.

Hephaestus remained hesitant but he agreed to creating it. The god set to work creating two weapons. As the weapons were created, Artemis called forth a beautiful swan which appeared.

"As graceful and beautiful as you are," Artemis started. "Your spirit will be attached to this jewel, and you will aid the user in times of trouble,"

Artemis held up the jewel as the swan agreed. Both stone and animal combined as one. Returning to Hephaestus, the twins learned of the weapons and the concealment in the form of a necklace. The sword and Chakram combined as well.

Going to earth, the twins selected Theseus, founder of Athens to wield the weapon and defend the innocents. Happily accepting, Theseus, defended Greece for as long as he could before dying in battle.

*~*~*

"After that, the jewel was lost, until I found it," Coby said.

"Then who is under that helmet?" Mark asked.

Amy took a deep breath and unbuckled her helmet, she removed it and smiled at the rangers.

"Hey guys," she said.
