"Ladies, ladies. Come on, there's no need to show bad blood," Shark came in between the twins with a smile. "Sisters are supposed to be sticking up for each other, not against each other."
"You seem to be very positive. But do you have any siblings?" Sphinx asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm the oldest of eight children and I know what it's like to have siblings that get on each other's throats. Where I'm from, my parents made sure that we don't let our problems divide us," Shark beamed.
"Hey, Aquaman. Do me a favor. Butt out. AIn't your place," Alice said.
"Alice," Courtney sighed, shaking her head.

"Alice," Courtney sighed, shaking her head.
"Sheesh, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Sphinx muttered, not please of how Alice was acting towards Courtney.
Shark wasn't even fazed by the remark Alice had made and he finished the girls' as well as Bart's food. "It may not be my place. However, I am not the type of person who lets a person inflict their problems on other people," he spoke to Alice as he gives the smoothie to her. "Sure, I just met you but I really don't like seeing people fight each other."

Alice rolled her eyes and jabbed her straw into the smoothie, walking off and sitting away from the others, shaking her head.
Courtney sighed softly, sticking her straw into the smoothie, biting her lip. "Believe it or not, this is her being nice," she said. "Last time she went off on me, we got into a fight. Don't get me wrong, I love my sister. I always ahve, but....lately her anger's been worse. I don't know what to do to help her."

Jayden watched as the seemingly very angry girl walked away to sit. "Hard day?" He asked shyly. He wasn't usually one to just start talking to random girls, but he just wanted to check on her. He was sure she was fine, but this was also a way to possibly socialize with someone other then his computer.

Alice glanced at Jayden, cocking an eyebrow. "I would much rather be at my shop away from my bubbly twin sister. I have work to do on a seven thousand dollar bike, and it needs to be complete before tomorrow night. So yeah, hard day," she said. "Because this hombre, Armando, pays good money to work on his bikes, and that money could upgrade some tools in my shop."
Courtney watched Jayden move to talk to her sister, and she rolled her eyes. "He's gonna say something and she's gonna punch his lights out. How she always does, the lunatic..."

How she always does, the lunatic..."Sphinx sighed and Shark shook his head, "Life can be beautiful and exciting, but it can crash likes a tsunami hits land," he said and he turned to the owner of the juice bar before still remaining silent, taking the sip of his smoothie. ' I sure hope it doesn't get any worse,' he thought. ____________________________________________ In the city, D'iranda and Korandi'r appeared floating above the city and watched the people of Angel Grove enjoy their day. "Ugh, are we going to keep looking at these pathetic creatures, or are we going go on what Lord Praetor ordered us to do?" D'iranda hissed at Korandi'r with impatience, the right-hand turning to the female with his calm manner. "There is no need to be impatience, my lady. That is what we are here to do," he conjured and looked back at the humans and raised up his hand in the air, emitting a dark glow. "Stalkers, come forth!" Within seconds, a massive group of dark creatures appeared, their glowing eyes piercing through the citizens as they began to shriek in fear. Their visible pulsating veins throbbed as they let out ghastly growls while they began to lunge at the citizens, forcing them to flee from the scene. Armed with powerful claws, the Stalkers begin their attack on the city, attacking most of the humans, drawing blood from their claws as pools of blood staining the sidewalks. Soon after, the Stalkers began attacking traveling cars, slashing them while others began to destroy stores, restaurants, and even schools. D'iranda looked at the carnage that was happening and she gave Korandi'r a dark smile, "Wow, not bad for a start, my dear," she complimented but the general's expression remained unchanged. "We must carry on with the mission. We cannot keep Lord Praetor waiting," he spoke to the woman who nodded and the two soon disappear into thin air as the Stalkers continued on to inflict destruction in the city.

Bart had no intention in getting involved with the girls' argument, unlike most people in the Youth Center at the moment he was an only child and even if he wasn't the fight had nothing to do with him. As soon as Shark handed him his order he paid and carried it to an empty table, but since he was curious sat down within hearing range. As he drank his shake he did his best to listen in without anyone noticing.
He was only done halfway when his phone vibrated. Turned out one of his roommates sent him a message about a monster attack. Even though it was Angel Grove Bart dismissed it as some kind of prank call and didn't even bother responding.

"Sometimes we can't be our best when we have a lot of pressure on us." Jayden said to the guy that spoke to him, he then turned his attention back to the young woman. "I know a couple things about bikes, not that I am trying to make a move or anything, but I could possibly help you get it done..." He said not trying to overstep just wanting to help. "A second set of hands could always help.." He finished before turning back to his computer.

"I'm good. I've been doing this since before I graduated high school. Thanks though," Alice said, leaning against the wall. She looked at her phone and sighed, shaking her head.

As Sphinx remained silent, his phone began to ping and he took it out to reveal a text from Nicque: "SPHINX! SOME MONSTROUS CREATURES ARE ATTACKING THE CITY! IT'S ON THE NEWS!!!!!!!"
"Monstrous creatures?" Sphinx asked in confusion and he turned to Shark. "Hey, Shark! Turn on the TV!" he called out, and Shark blinked for a moment before turning on the TV, not so sure what was going on until the news started showing.
"This is an NBC15 News Report. Good afternoon and we are coming in on the air at this hour with news of an unexpected attack here in Angel Grove by a group of monstrous creatures that appeared to look like something came out of a horror movie. Reporters say that that many people are seeking shelter from these blood-thirsty creatures as they run amok all over parts of the city. No one knows who had sent the the beings but this ongoing event has caused major damage. No numbers of casualties have been reported but the mayor of Angel Grove has initiated an emergency lockdown, informing people who are in indoor establishments to remain inside until the incident is put under control. Angel Grove Police Department and its SWAT team are sent to take on the creatures, but reports indicate that it might not be enough. Unfortunately, without the Power Rangers in sight, the attack might bring a high risk for residents in the Angel Grove area."
Sphinx looked at the creatures and felt his heart drop while Shark stood there completely frozen, "My god, this can't be real!" Shark said.
"I wanna say the same thing, but it's definitely real. Whenever I receive a text in all caps, it tells me that something is definitely wrong." he said, looking at the TV before turning to Shark. "We're gonna have to close the Youth Center down under the Mayor's demand. This right here is getting serious."
Shark looked at Sphinx and nodded, "You're right. It's unexpecting, but it's something I can do to keep everyone safe," he said as the attendants of the Youth Center began to wonder what was going on.

"No problem." Jayden said with a half smile to the girl before turning to face Shark. "Did you guys just say monst..." The young man started but broke off when his eyes landed on the tv. Instantly, he thought of his family. He jerked his phone free of his pocket and immediately called his mother.

"I said it clearly my friend," Shark spoke and turned to the people who were murmuring in concern, "Alright, listen up. Due to what is happening outside, I'm putting this place on lockdown for our safety. Strange monstrous creatures have been attacking the city and the Mayor wants us to remain inside until the incident is settled."
Everyone began to panic at what Shark has spoken to them, "Please remain calm. The police, as well as the SWAT team, are handling the situation. In the meantime, do not leave this place. It's for our own protection," the owner exclaimed until one patron just shook his head. "Seriously? Monstrous creatures? What do you think this is? The Avengers?" he asked in a taught tone and Shark knew immediately that he wasn't from Angel Grove.
"As unbelievable as it sounds, the News isn't lying about this and the Mayor has ordered us to remain inside," Shark spoke and the man just laughed arrogantly.
"Right. The next thing the news tells us is that Santa Claus starts dropping bombs into the city. Look pal, all of that is just people pulling a prank on us. There's no fucking way that some monsters is killing those people."
Sphinx looked at the man and was feeling rubbed the wrong way by his snooty attitude. 'Seiously? This dude ain't really getting this!'

Alice looked over at the television and grinned. "Oh, good. Something to pummel," she said, taking off for the door. She didn't care that Shark was trying to keep them inside. SHe wasn't going to sit back and let some bastards wreck her town.
"Alice!" Courtney said, watching her sister take off. "Oh, you idiot." She shook her head, knowing exactly what her twin was going to do. "Alice!" She took off after her sister. "Are you crazy/!"
"Yeah, maybe!" Alice said with a grin, grabbing the door. "You comin' or you content to sit here with your thumb up your ass? You don't come and fight, that degree you're chasin'? Poof. Gone. These sumbitches are gonna wreck the city, and if they go after your school...oh, Bubblegum Princess, kiss your teachin' dream goodbye. Just like your eyebrows."
Courtney felt her heart sink when Alice told her the situation. She looked outside and sighed, nodding her head. "Alright, fine. Let's go."

Courtney felt her heart sink when Alice told her the situation. She looked outside and sighed, nodding her head. "Alright, fine. Let's go."
Shark turned to the girls who were going outside and quickly stopped them, "Wait, you can't leave! We have to remain inside!" he cried out. "We don't know how dangerous those monsters are!"
"Ugh, we really don't have time for this. I'm leaving," the male patron arrogantly spoke before Sphinx rose from his seat. "Did you now hear what Shark has said to us!? We. Can't. Leave!"
"Guess what? I. Don't. Care. I'm not going to let some Mayor order me around over something that is ridiculous," the man spat at Sphinx as he shoved Alice and Courtney out of the way as he reached for the door and opens it, only to see the Stalkers wreaking havoc from outside. One of them spots the man and lets out a ghastly shriek, charging for the Youth Center along with the rest. The patron saw the monsters and almost immediately, he lets out a scream and quickly shuts the door, but the creatures easily broke their way in, causing all of the guests to scream in fear.
"Oh my God!" Sphinx cried out and the man screamed as the Stalkers began to attack him with their claws, forcing Shark to leap over the counter and grabbing the monster, and throwing it against the wall. "See!? This is why I told you NOT TO LEAVE!" he shouted out in anger.
