PART TWO 

Adria sprinted towards her car and jumped inside. She quickly turned the key while keeping an eye at the retreating rangers. She didn't like that the creature that was clinging onto Violet ranger but the other woman seemed in control as she followed her team away from the arcade. With all her attention forward, Adria failed to notice a red Honda rental car following her. However, after leaving the main highway and reaching the quarry did Adria confronted the suspicious man.

"Well?" She rounded the robust-looking man with chestnut hair and strange fathomless eyes. The more she gazed at them, the more she felt she was staring into an abyss.  She shook herself before she spoke up again. "I don't think I remember you from any local news beat." Adria studied the suspicious and strange man. It was really his eyes that spook her too much. I wonder why?

"I'm not and I didn't come here for trouble." He did his best to appease her so she could listen long enough for the truth he was about to impart to her. "You must help them." He decided to say it point blank and prayed to the heavens she doesn't have a fit or faints. 

"Excuse me?"  Adria threw him an incredulous stare.

"You heard me, Adria Watanabe. I wouldn't be here if you weren't a Star Ranger."

Adria blinked and scanned the area for the "MTV's: Punk'd" crew but she saw no one else. She gazed back at the man who was giving her no vibes at all and that made her hesitant but she squelched it and set up her no-nonsense attitude as her shield.

Next Writing activity....

It was fun reminiscing and I found this writing assignment from the short story course I took from ICS way back 2004. It was for the Business Aspects of Writing section. This was the expanded story entry I posted here.

Star Rangers: Destiny Beckons

Synopsis: This is a series with approximately 3000 words. It's for the 12 to 17 age group. The first installment of the series is a four-part part story which follows a female high school photographer in her adventures and trials when she becomes a member of the Star Rangers. Each of the five rangers protect their respective medallions, thus developing abilities unique only to themselves. They are also special individuals chosen to defend Earth from Thalos, a being with a mysterious past who wants the five medallions for his hidden agenda and ruling the star systems is just his number two goal.

Adria Watanabe removed the lens cap of her camera as she entered the school gym and began surveying the area. Students milled about, passing from one table to another. A clique strode passed with a 'not-a-care-in-the-world' expression on their faces. Adria's eyes followed them until they exited the gym.

Adria started making her way around, gazing at the various projects. She noticed several of the students were nervous and edgy. She didn't blame them. She knew how it felt and she was glad it was over for her. Even if she didn't make it to the final fifteen science projects, she still had a good mark on her subject.
