The Terran Ranger Saga - The Preliminaries Volume 3 by Heather Ray (best books to read in life txt) 📕

three weeks of active duty, numerous circumstances caused Alexis Darling to retire.

For one thing, Alexis tried a desperate, and dangerous, tactic in battle. Usually, the Purple Ranger had the ability to absorb the energies of the six other rangers in a combined Bomb Attack, which is the most powerful combined attack the rangers had to date. She had used it several times, and the only consequence had been mild exhaustion, which faded after a few hours. However, the creature they battled was no ordinary monster. It was Dracola, and nothing short of a miracle would cause the mighty beast to fall. Fortunately, the Power Rangers had assistance from another team of young heroes-- the Spectrum Force. Zordon discovered that the Spectrum Force's powers were comparable to that of the Power Rangers, so much so that Alexis could absorb their spectrum powers as well. The result was an awesome single burst of golden energy, which not only destroyed Dracola, but also left Alexis in an extremely weakened state. She didn't recover immediately, and she couldn't morph. She was useless to the Power Rangers.

Also, Alexis' sister Denise Johnson was diagnosed with AIDS, but she refused to quit Law School. She'd finish most likely in May of the following year, but she couldn't study and take care of her infant son Johnathan without a little help. Alexis volunteered, and so she moved in with her sister, back to West Philadelphia. She left the Power Rangers behind, but Zordon allowed her to keep her Purple Ranger powers, since the coin was hers to begin with. Alexis was still weak, but slowly, she was recovering. She even went on patrol for the first time late New Year's Eve, and managed to prevent numerous car accidents due to drunk driving. Thanks to her, the number of car accidents on New Year's Eve was cut in half from the usual high numbers. The media was in a frenzy about the mysterious purple woman who appeared out of nowhere, but no one could get either a picture of her, or a statement from her. They dubbed her the Purple Knight, because she is clad in purple armor, and comes to the rescue of citizens of Philadelphia.

"Hey, Lex!" called a voice from behind. Alexis turned around in surprise, and saw her good friend Dawn Adams.

"Oh, hey Dawn," Alexis said with a warm smile. "What's up?"

"I've been looking for you! Class is about to begin! Why are you walking so slowly?"

"I'm just... thinking," Alexis said. Dawn arched her eyebrow.

"Its about that guy in Angel Grove that you're head over heels for, isn't it?" she asked. Alexis could feel the heat rise in her cheeks.

"Yeah," Alexis admitted, "but I miss everyone

I met in Angel Grove. Not just Jason."

"Come on, Lex," Dawn huffed, "you only lived in California for three weeks! You've lived here all your life! What's the big deal?!"

If only I could tell you, Dawn

Alexis thought, I did more than just meet some nice people. I met a group of friends that were so genuine, its hard to believe. And I spent those three weeks fighting for something bigger than anything I've ever even dreamed about! I participated in saving the planet! That's the kind of life that's hard to leave behind...

"Lex," Dawn said in concern, "you're not zoning out on me again, are you?"

"Nah," said Alexis with a forced smile. "Let's move it! We're going to be late for gym!"

"We can't let that happen," Dawn said with a grin, and the two girls jogged the rest of the way to class.
