Open the Codex Part 3

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Yeah, okay sure. But human society generally agrees that hurting people is a bad thing but we still have murderers" Richie replies before looking at Alisha "...And Alisha"

"Yes that's a fair statement Richard, but for now just do as I said. I'll explain in more detail after"

Richie shrugs.

"Fine I guess" he looks to Alpha "Teleport us out if you please"

"Of course!"

Four coloured lights shot out of the command centre, leaving Adam to sigh.

"They've got a lot to learn still"

"Ai yai yai! Well they've caught on fast, considering"

"Yeah...I suppose so"

Ross peers from around the corner.

"Uh...Abeoji, there's uhm...there's a parent here of one of your students uh...they seem...decently upset" he comments "I kept trying to say that you were busy but uh...she's loud"

Adam groans.

"I think I even know who it is, alright. I'll go handle it" he looks at Alpha "Please watch over the Rangers"

"You got it, Adam!"

Adam walked out of the command centre, leaving Ross to stare at the screen showing the rangers. He frowns a little, clasping his hands together.

"...Ross are you alright?" Alpha asks.

"Fine" he replies in almost a hiss.

"...I don't know why you Parks seem to think I won't notice how you feel on a matter" Alpha comments "I've been around Adam long enough to know his tells and you share most of them, so please. Stop assuming I won't notice. You want to help, I can tell"

"...I'm...I'm not cut out for it"

"Do you believe that Ross? Or are you just saying that because Adam wants you to think that?"

"...Abeoji's right, he's right"

"Ai yai yai...Ross, take it from me. Your father only wants the best for you, yes, but he forgets that he can't decide your entire life for you. If you want to fight for this city, for this world, then don't let your father stop you." Alpha says firmly "Adam wouldn't have let Hyeon stop him, he forgets, he was just like this with his father."

"...He...was?"

"Your grandfather may not have known what Adam was up to, but it took Adam till he was 22 years old to actually outright disobey his father. The year before you were born, when he started his dojo"

"...Dad...was...scared to go against what Hal-Abeoji wanted?"

"Of course he was, just like you are. Thing is Ross, you're an adult. If Adam has his way, he'll...shelter you forever. For fear of what might happen. You're the son of a legendary ranger and...the harm that might come to you, it frightens him. Don't let him hold you back, even if it's for good reasons, you have to be allowed to take action in your own life"

"...Alpha..."

"Fact is, I may be a robot, but I've seen enough teenagers at this point that I think I make a pretty good mentor too!"

Ross laughs, tapping Alpha's shoulder.

"Yeah, I think so too. Thanks, I'll...I'll think on it"

"Alright guys, you heard Adam. Split and take out the spawners" Richie says firmly.

"And who died and put you in charge?" Alisha demands, before grabbing her morpher and going to morph.
