Ch 10: Dara's Turn

"Well Kiddo, Sam says your free from going to school today after yesterdays ordeal. However I am taking you into town so you can hang out at the Juice Bar with your friends once they get out of school." David says as he stands in the doorway of his little sisters room.

"Cool a day of nothing but a practice mat workout." Dari laughs softly and grins picking up her practice bag instead of her book bag, her thumb rubbing against the communicator inside the bag. Her walking cane in hand she guides herself to the front room. "Thanks for the day off Papa Sam." she says softly.

"You need it child, the spirits have told me what has occurred. I believe a practice day will help keep your temper in check with your issues." Sam answers in his wise man voice, full of wisdom and knowledge.

Dari laughs softly and bows to the older man, "Probably true Papa Sam, but I will hold my temper in check."

David holds the door of the house open as Dari walks through it, "Ready to go?" he asks

"Yup, all set for some downtime of practice." Dari climbs into the jeep and sits back, her eyes closed as David starts the Jeep up.

Angel Grove High

"Hey Bulk have you seen De?" Skull asks looking around the school cafeteria,

"No Skull I haven't which is odd." Bulk says as he looks around the school as well, the only ones he sees is the geeks him and skull usually pick on. With a sigh he stands and walks over to them, "hey chumps, have you guys seen Dara around?" he asks

Kim shakes her head, "Sorry Bulk we havent seen her since last night, though rumor has it Rita's goon patrol tried to kidnap her, maybe her family kept her home today?"

"Thanks, I hope that is the case then." Bulk says as he heads back over to Skull.

The rest of the day passed in boredom as far as the troublesome two were concerned, since De had been back they were used to having a third person to talk and joke with, now they were back to nothing.

But for another person at the school, a certain boy in green, his day was filled with anxiousness, a strange unease as to where the missing girl was, or worse, did she remember the events of the previous night? So caught up in his worry and thoughts, Tommy didn't notice that the Rangers were paying close attention to his actions throughout the day.

Juice Bar

"Hey Ernie, mind if I hang out for awhile? Schools not out for a couple more hours." Dari asks as she walks into the juice bar with David.

"Sure thing kiddo, but why aren't you at school?" Ernie asks a bit worried now.

"Relax Ernie, this is my brother David, I have permission to be out today, on account of everything that happened last night." Dari waves at David before heading out to the practice mats, where she sets down the boombox David had carried in for her. Hitting the play button her Kata music starts playing as she starts warming up.

"What my sister isn't saying is she was kidnapped last night. Our grandfather decided to allow her a day of quiet after the events." David explains quietly to Ernie as Dari sets stuff down for her workout.

"Is she alright?" Ernie asks glancing over at one of his many favorite people who have ever graced his Juice Bar.

"Yea she will be fine, she just needs to work off some anger. She hates being targeted due to her blindness." David says, "Dari, I'm heading off, call when your ready to come home."

"Will do bro." Dari calls back as she continues her kata moves.

After School her friends walk in the Juice Bar and chuckle to themselves as they see their friend practicing on the workout mats. Getting their drinks from Ernie, the group goes and sits near the mat Dari is working out on, laughing softly to one another as they talk quietly.

Not long after the rangers sit down, Bulk and Skull come in, a smile gracing their faces as they see Dari unharmed at the Juice Bar, "Dari, where ya been? School was boring without you today." Bulk says as they come to stand by her.

"hey boys, been here most the day. My family let me skip the day, personal reasons." Dari answers as she stops her workout.

"Oh, well hope everything is ok." Skull says as they sit down near the mats.

"Yea, or at least it will be soon, can you guys let me know when Tommy comes in?" Dari asks as she gets back to her routine.

"Can do." Bulk says as him and Skull turn to the doorway to watch for him.

After a few minutes, Tommy walks in and heads to the locker room.

"Dari he is here, give him a few and he will be out." Bulk comments to his friend.

"Good, let him know I want a word with him, will ya?" Dari asks as she takes a break from her patterns

Bulk nods, "sure thing will do." he gets up and walks toward the locker room,

"Hey Tommy, Dara would like a word with you on the practice mats, Now." Bulk says as he shoves the boy towards the door of the locker room.

With a sigh Tommy walks towards his cousin, "What do you want?" he asks quietly,

"Come on, time to practice Tommy Boy, you aint got a choice today." Dara replies with a smirk on her face.

The two start to spar, each blow and hit having more force in it then normal as Dari takes her anger out on the one who kidnapped her, knocking him down more then anyone thought would be possible. "whats the matter Tommy, not so mighty out of suit? Consider this a little payback for last nights adventure." Dara whispers where only he can hear her.

"De, I'm sorry ok, I can't stop her though, I barely am able to break free for a few seconds at a time. You have to end this, help the rangers stop me. Break her control so I can either live in peace or die free." Tommy whispers back his voice echoing his regrets.

"Don't worry I plan to, She isnt gonna know what hit her, or you for that matter." Dara remarks as she throws one final punch before turning and walking away, heading to sit with the rangers and wind down.

As he watches his cousin walk away a barely visible smile graces his lips, knowing in his heart his cousin will make good on her words. However the smile vanishes fast as he feels the call of Rita Replusa to bring him to the Moon Base. Without another glance backwards, he leaves the Juice Bar bag in hand as he teleports away to do his Mistress' bidding.

"How may I be of service today my Queen?" he asks upon arrival, kneeling down as he awaits his instructions.

As Dari sits down with her friends she can't help but sigh at the thought of her cousin stuck working for such an evil woman. Determined to put an end to Rita's manipulations she was so caught up in her thoughts she didnt notice her friends had quieted down, until she hears a long familiar voice echo her name in suprise.

"Darianna?" Mark Oliver says startled upon seeing his niece in the flesh for the first time in two years, the same two years he believed her to be dead.

"Uncle Mark?" Dara exclaims softly as her head tilts trying to figure out where her uncle was exactly, "What are you doing here?" she asks

"I could ask you the same thing, young lady. We thought you were dead along with my brother and his wife." Mark chokes back a sob as he hugs his niece to him, happy to see her alive and well. "Where have you been?"

"Uncle, there are some things I think you need to know." Dari answers, "First to answer your question, the person who rescued me from the crash managed to find my biological family, and got me placed in the care of my paternal grandfather and older brother."

"you found your family?" Mark's voice echos his shock at the news.

"Yes, I found them, however there is a major error I think you need to know about Uncle."

Mark frowns, "What error?"

Dari lifts her face to look in his direction, letting him see for the first time, the pale color in her eyes, "Uncle Mark, I'm blind because of the crash that killed mom and dad."
