When I mean Gold Ranger of course I mean Jason…I know this prolog is insanely short but don't worry the chapters that will follow will be normal length. So enjoy and please leave me a review, I would love to know what you think…Also, the song above is what inspired me to write the story, so I had to give credit to it.
Also know that the prolog is the only part that will be written in first person. The rest of the story will not be written in first person…
It was a new monster that no one expected would be so difficult to fight. It had all happened so suddenly and when the monster moved in for the kill, it was Adam that protected me.I was never that close to Adam like I was to Tommy or even Zack, but now I have more respect for him than I ever had before.
Adam was an excellent fighter and formidable ranger and I was glad that he fought by my side.
He always went out of his way for others and his friendship with Rocky only proved that.
There was no denying it, that no matter what, there was no way that I would ever leave a fellow ranger behind, not if I could help it. As a former ranger leader I always had to make choices that effected my friends well being, but in the end I was always the lucky one and the bad guys always got what they deserved, but this time things were different, this time evil might just win.
Right now Zordon has asked us to leave the Power Camber so he could have a private talk with Tommy. I could only imagine what the conversation would be about. I wish I was with Tommy right now, I know this will be one of the gravest decisions he would ever have to make as a leader of the power rangers.
I only hope that he will make the right one. For if he does not, someone will lose a life, and if I had to choose, I would not let Adam suffer that horrible fate.
It should have been me, I was the one that the monster wanted, but Adam got in the way and now Lord Zed is using him as a ransom to get to me. He wants me dead, I know this, but even though I should feel frightened, my years as a ranger has changed me in more ways than one. I no longer feel fear. I am ready for this, and I 'm willing to give my life up for a fellow ranger and friend.
If only there was some way for me to get Lord Zed to let Adam go without anyone of us suffering the fate of death. I have no desire to die, but if I have to, I will lay my life down, but I do hope that Billy and the others find a way to get Adam back before I will have to make that decision for the others.
Please make this work for me; I don't know if I can handle someone's death over mine. It's the only thing I cannot do. I cannot live my life knowing that I could have saved someone else's instead.
But no matter what, know that I will not give my life up without a fight, I wont do it…there is no way that I will give Lord Zed that satisfaction. He may have won the battle, but he has not yet won the war.
I will say it now, that if I go back to the Power Chamber and the decision is Adam for me, I will not have it, I will give myself to Lord Zed, I only hope my friends will understand that there is no way I will ever leave a fellow ranger behind…
Please Review…
