I was listening to Hope Partlow's Sick Inside and watching a Youtube video that helped me come up with this idea. Maddie and Nick together remind me a lot of Tommy and Kimberly because Kimberly was the one to reach out to Tommy when he first moved to Angel Grove and she convinced him to join the Rangers, just like Maddie did for Nick plus Tommy was always saving Kimberly, but Kim could hold her own in a fight. Kim also left but you could tell Tommy was waiting for her to come back by his reaction when she got kidnapped in Turbo, just like Maddie is waiting for Nick.
Anyway I do not own even though I wish I owned Firass Dirani he's so sexy!
This story starts out Vida and Nick but if you keep reading it becomes Nick and Maddie
Sick Inside
Prolouge
Madison Danyn Rocca sat on her bed reading a book on John Hughes, analyzing how he directed and filmed some of her favorite 80's movies. Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club were top on her list, she always wished she could direct pop phenomenon like them. Oblivious to the ringing of her cell phone, Maddie continued to write down notes. Suddenly her door bursted open revealing an angry Vida Rocca.
"Hello Madison! Didn't you hear your morpher going off?!"
"Huh? What?" Maddie set down her book as a her sister pulled her off the bed and headed down to the beach.
…
"Ready?" Nick Russell pulled out his morpher.
"Ready!" The others followed suit. A multicolored burst of light went off and in its place stood 5 power rangers.
"Come get it!" Necroli screamed as her "fowl friend" as Chip put it, screached at the rangers. Chip, and Xander jumped to the left as Nick and Vida dove to the right, rolling onto the road leaving Maddie in the middle just as the Queen had wanted it. Necroli turned her wand toward Madison, an erie purple blast came from the weapon and engulfed her in a warm green light.
"Maddie!" Xander tried to stand up but felt as if something was pushing down on him, preventing him from help in his friend.
'What is this? I feel so weird like I'm not me or solid.' Madison's head streamed with possibilities on what Necroli was doing to her until she heard it.
"Blue Witch!" A horrible screach went off in her head.
'Who are you?!' Maddie's voice didn't come off as calmn as she wanted it to.
" The Master of the darkness,"
'What do you want?'
"You will see Mirceis, in time you will remember."
Madison was released from the green aura and rested gingerly on the ground, unconscious.
"Screacher, let's go our job here is done. In good time Blue ranger you will feel the Master's power." With that warning, Necroli and Screacher vanished. Madison lay in Chip's arms as V and Nick rushed over to them.
…
"I'm worried about her," Vida snuggled into Nick's arms as they lay on the couch that evening. Nick felt lucky to be able to cuddle with her as they watched a movie, it was rare for her to show anyone this side so to be able to even touch her was a blessing.
"Vida, she's fine. She's in her room sleeping, she'll be ok."
"But what would the Darkness want with her; she's not as powerful as you or as tough as me Chip, or Xander. Sometimes I can hardly think of her as a ranger but as my little sis that tags along that I have to protect. I dont get it Nick, what are they after?" Vida clenched her fist in frustration. Nick grabbed her hand and brought it to his mouth, kissing her knuckles.
"Vivi, we'll ask Udonna in the morning ok?" Nodding she climbed on top of him, forcing his back into the cushions, her brown eyes sparkling with anger. "Ooooh, I'm liking the aggression."
"You thought I didn't notice you squeezing my crotch when we fell? You've been a very bad boy Nicholas and I need to punish you."
"Ohh Castigúeme mammi, I've been a very very bad boy."(punish me mommy in Spanish). Vida crushed her lips against his and begun fumbling for his belt buckle.
…
Madison stared into the Orb of Prophecy under Mystic Lake, wondering why her soul yearned to touch it. Holding her hand out the orb began to glow in its pearly white swirls revealed the Master, covered in white. His voice rang out loud and clear vibrating through the water.
Fire and Water; both can take away life, both can give it. Where fires rage water will halt it. Where water is weak the fire will comfort it and make it strong, opposites bond together by the universe will never be broken regardless of how one might want another, you will fall when the attraction begins and if you fight it you will be consumed by the flame, here begins the end and water and fire will begin life anew with in one soul. Be warned Mirceis, this prophecy will not be denied.
Maddie woke up with a cold sweat covering her. 'What has he done to me?' Madison jumped from her bed to tell her older sister about her dream when she stopped before she reached the bottom of the stairs.
"But what would the Darkness want with her; she's not as powerful as you or as tough as me, Chip, or Xander. Sometimes I can hardly think of her as a ranger but as my little sis that tags along that I have to protect. I dont get it Nick, what are they after?"
The Blue ranger staggered back hurt that her sister would say such a thing. Was this really what she thought? Was she really just a pretend power ranger that everyone swore to protect? She began to stager back up to her room as she heard Nick tell Vida to punish him, his Spanish had gotten more fluent since he began dating Vida and unfortunately for Maddie he only spoke Spanish when it was something suggestive, thinking that the Xander and Chip couldn't speak it fluently enough to follow the conversation, but Maddie could. It felt as if a thousand years of rejection shoved the air from her stomach and rested heavily on her heart. She couldn't understand why she care that Vida and Nick shared that intimacy, they had be dating for a year and a half now, it was only natural, right? Reaching her bedroom, Madison threw on some blue jeans and a black tank top under her favorite blue sweater and some matching blue boots that Xander had gotten for her on a random shopping trip. She stealthily climbed out her window and headed toward Root Core
…
Arriving threw the great entrance, Madison walked right into the arms of the person she most wanted to see.
"Maddie, what's wrong?" Daggeron rubbed the girl's back hoping to have some comforting effect on her.
"D-Daggeron, am-am I a bur-rden to the te-am?" The Solaris Knight's heart went out to the teenager as she fought to keep the pain and torture out of her voice. A couple tears dropped down her chin and onto his shirt, it hurt him to see her in such distress as he believed her one of the strongest rangers, she had complete control over her element, she was smart, funny, and adorable.
"A lot like Mirceis, in more ways than one." The knight stroked her head allowing her to cry out her pain. "Of course not Maddie. You are a valuable part of the team, without you Nick would've left; I would still be a frog. You're our voice of reason, Xander can be over arrogant, Chip often has his head too high into the mystic clouds, Nick rushes into battles without thinking plus he's quick to anger, and Vida is too hot-tempered sometimes," The man noticed how she tensed when he referred to Nick and hr sister, making him wonder if they had something to do with upsetting the mermaid. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh, no reason." Maddie kept her head down well aware that he knew she was lying. She didn't want to seem even weaker by telling him the truth. Daggeron shook his head, hoping that she would tell him so he could know exactly who to talk to.
"Why don't you stay here tonight, it's too late to have you walking back home, and even less safe to let you do it while you're emotionally stressed like this." Daggeron ushered the teen to his room as he conjured up blankets on the couch for himself. Tucking Maddie in like she was a child he kissed her forehead and walked into the main room, laying on the couch he drifted back to sleep.
…
Rolling off the coach, Vida got up to get ready for her 7am shift at the Rock Emporium. She looked back at her boyfriend then reluctantly climbed the stairs to wake up her sister.
"Madison!" Nick, sitting up quickly, rushed up to the younger girl's room hearing his girlfriend scream. He took a brief moment to admire her shapely legs in his oversized crimson red t-shirt, then looking to the bed he noticed Maddie was gone.
"Where would she go?" Nick threw on his sweat pants, grabbed his shirt off V, and rushed to Root Core. Vida threw on her favorite pink and black sweat suit and jammed after him.
…
Maddie walked up and down the beach admiring the rising sun. She knew she had to go home and get ready for work, but today was one of those 'I so want to just say the heck with it and skip work,' days. The ocean called out to her, begging her to become one with the rhythm of its ever crashing waves. 'I never noticed how the ocean seemed to calmn me, even before I became the mystic mermaid, the ocean has always been soothing.'
"Blue Witch, are you so naive to think that it is coincedence that you are the mystic mermaid." The Master's deep voice rang through her head.
'What do you want?' Maddie's patience was at an end, she wanted to just be alone for a while.
"Your service in the Darkness."
'You must be out of your tiny little mind if you think I'll ever go to the darkness.' Madison was oblivious to Necroli sneaking up behind her.
"Why fight it, Mirceis, is it because of him?"
' My name is Madison, not Mirceis. And just who is he?'
"You don't remember him, how sad. Well I will help you to remember." Necroli was now two feet from the girl holding an erie green stone similar to the light that had first enveloped her.
…
Mirceis lay on the rocks, enjoying the sun's warmth and the peaceful sounds of the ocean as her tail began to dry, turning into legs. Her hair and eyes changed from their underwater blue to her on shore brown. She lay silent waiting for him to come to her.
"You knew I was coming." He stated as he transformed from his fire burning form to his human one.
"How could I not, the rocks heated faster than they would have were you not here." Now with it safe enough to look at him without being blinded, Mirceis's chestnut brown eyes fell on the piercing green eyes of his.
"And the water grows restless when you leave, begging for its' mistress to come back." The Phoenix Knight laid next to his love, taking in her astounding beauty. Though the sight of her body covered by its usual mid-thigh length sparkling blue toga displeased him, he always had to admit that if no clothing wasn't going to happen in public, than seeing her like this would be close enough.
"The rocks are getting warm again, please at least control the heat of the sun if you cannot control the heat of your body when thinking about me." Her gorgeous laugh sounded through the beach as he rolled on top of her pushing her arms above her head and stealing a short kiss. Mirceis looked into the shimmering green eyes holding so much love for her and was almost stunned by their depth. Pulling his head back down to her, the mermaid began to rid his excellently toned body of his crimson shirt and black vest only to be interrupted by a certain nymph.
"Bowen." Vianna called for her betrothed, greatly distressed that the Knight would lay on top of, let alone kiss the mermaid when he had refused to touch her, the sprite nymph princess, until they were married. The Sprite glared at Mirceis, furious that even after her warning the Blue Witch continued to be intimate with her soon to be husband.
"Mark my words well scaled wench, when Bowen is mine he will be all mine, if you even try to seduce him with your screeching voice it will mean war for the nymphs and merpeople. Do you understand me?!" Hearing this threat, had the mermaid's glare been steel it would've severed the princess's heart in two.
"Vianna, that's not necessary," Bowen straightened his shirt and vest and began walking to his betrothed so he could take her home as he always did.
"Don't tell me what is necessary and what's not! You are my betrothed, you should not be blessing this fish-faced commoner with your heavenly touch while you deny me the simple pleasure of feeling your lips pressed to mine! I am a royal and I demand that you show more care to me or I will force you to watch as I torture your little tuna- breathed lover!" V screamed to him. Why could he not see that she was the right one for him, that their parents promised them to each other because they knew that she would make him happy? Unfortunately since he was a royal, though if he were a commoner his handsomeness would be enough to make her love him, and unmarried to her, she could not by rights of a wife force him to break his relationship with the little sea tramp off. But she vowed with vengeance that the moment they were wed she would insure that he never went to another woman, even though it is allowed for the man to break his vows.
"So she may be a commoner she was first an amazing friend and is now the woman I love, were I not betrothed to you I would take her hand and give her my name now. If any harm comes to her between now and our 3rd year anniversary of marriage as that is the time I may take another to wife, I will blame you and surely have your head mounted on a chopping block. Am I understood?" Bowen grabbed her elbow and turned her away.
"I will make you forget that little cod fish and you will love me Bowen, I promise you that." With a sneer of content meant Vianna allowed him to escort her but before they were out of sight Bowen turned back to see his beloved crying into her palms. His heart willed her to look at him so she could read in his eyes how much he loved her. Mirceis felt something forming around her neck as fire linked together yet never burning her. A chain of beautiful silver with a heart as its pendant. In the center of the heart was a silver moon inside of a golden sun; a symbol many used to describe their love, as the moon pushed and pulled the water and the sun was made of fire. Mirceis looked to him and rejoiced to see his blasing eyes secretly telling her that he loved her and that everything ould be all right.
"MADISON!"
