Ch 3: Getting Back to Basics:
~~Ernie's Juice Bar~~ Dari turns around as she sips on her smoothie, talking in hushed tones to Bulk and Skull to get the layout of the room. After she finishes her drink she slowly sits the glass back on the counter before picking up her cane and bags before walking over towards the general location of the training mats. Bulk and Skull watch as their friend sets her bags down near the mats and kicks off her shoes before coming over to watch her stuff for her and to make sure no one messes with her while she is training. Dari nods to the boys as she hears them come near, "OK you two think you can behave while I'm working out?" "Of course we can De, we aren't complete idiots." Dari laughs softly and shakes her head before heading out onto the mat. As Dari steps onto the mat she slowly starts entering into different kata motions, her eyes closed as she starts the patterns she knows by heart. As she moves her patterns grow more and more complex and energy filled, her complete focus on her task at hand, the one thing her blindness couldn't take from her. While Dari is on the mats, the door to the Juice Bar opens twice and 6 people come in, the first is for the loner, Tommy who pauses and watches the girl on the mats, impressed at her abilities. Tommy walks over towards the locker rooms, going in to change clothes before using the weight equipment, keeping one eye on the girl at all times. About 10 minutes after Tommy walks in, Jason, Trini, Billy, Zack and Kim walk in and pause upon seeing new girl on the training mats. Jason just stares as the girl goes into more complex katas then even he can do, "Holy cow, guys, I can't even do a lot of those moves." Jason exclaims, before beckoning his friends closer to the training area, steering clear of Bulk and Skull who by now had become very engrossed in their food rather then watching out for their friend. While her friends are watching the new girl, Kim goes into the ladies locker room and changes to start her gymnastics practice. Upon walking out of the locker room she notices that her friends aren't the only ones watching Dari train, Tommy is as well, which worries Kim, for reasons she isn't sure of. Dari slows down her katas coming out of her focused practice as she hears other people near by, a smile playing at her lips at the fact they seem unaware of how sharp her hearing is. While she listens she hears the group of friends commend her skills, as well as some patrons wonder how she can be so good yet not see anything. Dari was so focused on listening that she didn't hear Tommy move closer until she almost hits him mid kata stopping just short of throwing him across the room. Tommy freezes as he sees the attack coming, blinking repeatedly as the fist stops just inches from his chest. Dari slowly retracts her kata pose coming to a stand as she says, "I would strongly advise watching where you are walking, in order to prevent you from flying while on practice mats." With that said she slowly turns towards where Bulk and Skull are sitting, "Sorry didn't think I was that close to you." She hears Tommy say, she hesitates before walking back over to her friends, frowning slightly as she hears the group of kids laughs softly and whisper amongst each other at Tommy's almost accidental run in with her. Her frown deepens as she hears the boys full name come from Jason's mouth as she sits down next to Skull, her mind flashing images from two years ago as she hears voices she remembers, and even further back the image of her cousin, by law not blood, seeing as how she was adopted into the Oliver Family when she was a baby. Skull notices her frown, "something wrong De?" "No, nothings wrong, just wishing I had my sight considering I can't actually tell with 100 % certainty who I'm hearing even though I swear I know them." Bulk nods without saying a word, knowing exactly what she meant. Kim overhears what Dari tells Skull, frowning at how familiar Dari's voice is to hear. She shakes her head before getting on the balance beam. Falling into her natural practice as she moves across it, letting her mind mull over the problems she has encountered. Halfway through her routine on the beam she sees her friends disappear off to the back, before Trini comes running back waving frantically at Kim to get down. As Trini gets closer to the beam she whispers into Kim's ear, "Goldar and putties spotted in the park, no sign of green yet, come on we have to hurry." Kim nods as she runs to put her bag in the locker room, neither girl noticing the frown that Dari has nor the smirk on Tommy's face, before Tommy himself suddenly goes into the locker rooms to change. As Dari feels the groups shifting and leaving she finds herself standing up and following Tommy at a distance, she hears Rita's voice command the Green Ranger to destroy the power rangers at the park and Tommy's voice answering in a monotone voice that he would do as his empress requests. Dari shakes her head as she moves back to where Bulk and Skull were, grabbing up her bag and flipping out her cane as she slips her shoes on, "Alright boys I'm out of here, have to go meet my biological brother and get a ride home." Both boys nod and say "see you tomorrow De." As Dari heads out to the high school, she doesn't realize that the battle between the rangers and Goldar moves closer to the juice bar, until she feels a putty fly past her, causing her to freeze as she hears a voice she will never forget, "Well rangers what's it going to be? Save your friend or save the innocent?" before it orders putties to surround her. Upon hearing the orders Dari tosses her bags and cane to the side sinking into the fighting kata pose. The rangers look between their Pink Ranger whom Goldar is holding hostage and the new girl from school before Red makes his call in a hushed tone, "Blue assist the civilian, Yellow and Black lets get Pinkie back." Dari tilts her head causing them to realize she has head what was said before focusing on the problem at hand as a putty attacks her. Moving fast Dari uses her skill and abilities to hear every move that is about to be made as she fights off the putties, before the Blue Ranger comes to assist her. She pauses as she feels a presence behind her guarding her back as the putties continue to attack. Red, Yellow, and Black rush Goldar in an effort to save the Pink Ranger, until the evil green ranger interferes and allows Goldar to move back with Pink, none of them aware that Dari can hear their movement on the battle field until out of no where she aims two of the putties just right before sending them flying into Goldar's back making him release the Pink Ranger in surprise, before turning to the Blue ranger and the civilian who are holding back the putties. "You little girl have made a huge mistake." He hisses to Dari, "Oh really? Because in all honesty monkey breath you don't scare me. Don't you know its hard to scare the blind?" She shouts, causing the rangers to all turn and look at her as she holds off Goldar's attacks on her own, putting her entire effort into holding her own against the creature who took her family from her. She surprises Goldar with the ferocity of her defensive and offensive attacks, pushing him back and keeping her own in the uneven fight. Upon seeing her general knocked down repeatedly by a little girl Rita orders her Green Ranger to attack the girl and orders Goldar to retreat. Nodding once to acknowledge his new orders, the Green Ranger attacks suddenly, but not quickly enough as Dari defends herself from the attack giving as good as she is getting, which causes Zordon's Rangers to just stare, as they themselves have a hard time holding their own against the Green Ranger yet the unknown girl is doing just that. Dari manages to grab the Rangers arms in a cross pattern to pin momentarily, a small smirk on her face, "If I didn't know any better I'd almost swear you were my cousin Tom, but I know he is along ways from Angel Grove." She says before kicking the green ranger in the chest and sending him flying, she settles into a ready stance with her eyes closed as she waits for the attacks to renew. The green ranger stands in shock, knowing in his heart that it is in fact his cousin he is fighting now, when Rita orders him back to the moon palace leaving 5 confused rangers and 1 exhausted civilian behind him.
