The Meeting

The sun was setting in the horizon, casting long shadows across the landscape.

Antonio, the Gold Ranger, was busy training with his Barracuda Blade when his miniature octopus companion, OctoZord, hopped into the training area.

"Antonio, you should take a break," OctoZord buzzed, wiggling its tentacles. "Overworking yourself isn't healthy."

"I need to get stronger, Octo," Antonio replied, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Ever since the Red Ranger saved me, I feel like I need to do more."

"About the Red Ranger…" OctoZord began, a hint of hesitation in its voice.

"Not to worry you don't have to say anything, since I know where he lives, I'm gonna visit him and ask him my questions." Antonio informed as the zord whirled while watching Antonio turn back to his training.

Few Hours Later:

“Is no one here, I was certain I heard voices around here.” Antonio said a slight confusion on his face.

But just as he was about to knock again, the doors opened revealing an older man in his late 50’s and did not look pleased to see him at all.

“Can i help young man?” The stranger asked politely or at least he was trying to hiding his slight annoyance.

“Um…” Antonio started but began to hesitate slightly but then took a deep breath to calm himself “hi my names Antonio, and i was wondering I could see the red ranger.”

The strange man gave Antonio a glare that made him uncomfortable and sent slight shivers through his body “I’m sorry but I think you have the wrong house young man.”

“No I'm certainhe lives here, i saw him come through this way, please I won't tell anyone just let me talk to him.” Antonio begged desperately as the stranger sighed but after a moments silence he simply nodded.

“This way, they’re in the back.” The man said as he turned to Antonio relating he didn’t properly interoduce himself”my name is Ji though most call me mentor."

"...huh...okay....mentor." Antonio said still slightly nervous but forcing himself to be calm as the Mentor Ji led him towards the outside training ground.

Finally, they arrived at a lush, green garden where the Red Ranger was sparing with a man dressed in blue, Antonio watched in aww at the red rangers swift and skilled movement in dodges and attacks.

The man cleared his throat, causing the Red Ranger to pause in his attack and turn to face them, fire symbol on the helmet facing him and Antonio.

“Yes?” the Red Ranger asked, his voice calm and steady “how may i help you citizen?”

‘He’s incredlble’ Antonio in his stunned state didn’t hear him until seeing the rd ranger apparatchiks them. Antonio took a deep breath before speaking

"I wish to thank you for saving me from that monster and i was hoping to take a moment of your time to ask you a few questions.” Antonio responded with a hint of excitement but remembered how he and Octozord rehearsed it.

“I must object on the second request.” Mentor spoke up as the blue ranger nodded in agreement, though unable to see the blue rangers face Antonio knew that the blue ranger wasn’t happy to see him here “not to mention we still an hour worth of training.”

“Enough you two.” The red ranger said firmly but gently while holding up his hand silencing the two “Antonio, i would be more then happy to answer any question you may have as long as they don’t compromise my secret identity.”

“Oh come on would that be so bad to know?” Antonio asked but that caused some quiet mumbling…..
