Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue
Trakeena's Revenge
By: Jacques Le Penn

Disclaimer: I am in no way, shape, or form the owner of Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue or any other Power Rangers series. I am just a fan writing his own version of the PRLR episode, Trakeena's Revenge, because I feel the episode was incredibly stupid and justice needed to be served.

Chapter One- An Ordinary Day

It was an ordinary day in the city of Mariner Bay. It was not ordinary in the traditional sense where like nothing major happened in the city. It was ordinary because the city's local team of superheroes, the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers, was on their way to the scene of an emergency in the downtown area.

The five Rangers sat in their vehicle, the Rescue Rover, a yellow jeep that sat four or more people and it had sirens. On the hood of the jeep were the words, 'Lightspeed Rescue.' At the helm of the jeep was Carter Grayson, the Red Lightspeed Rescue Ranger, and the leader of the group. In the passenger seat next to him was Dana Mitchell, the Pink Lightspeed Rescue Ranger. In the back of the jeep were the other three rangers, Chad Lee, the Blue Lightspeed Rescue Ranger, Joel Rawlings, the Green Lightspeed Rescue Ranger, and finally Kelsey Winslow, the Yellow Lightspeed Rescue Ranger.

Carter and his fellow Rangers were on their way to a fire in a high rise apartment building. The local fire department was having a hard time battling the blaze. Also, there were people trapped on the upper levels of the building, many far beyond the reach of the firefighters to get to. Carter pushed the brakes, and the Rover came to a complete stop when it reached the Hightower Apartment Complex, which was currently surrounded by police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks. The five Power Rangers got out of the jeep. The team of superheroes followed their leader, Carter.

"Guys, we know the drill!" exclaimed Carter. "Right," said Chad, Dana, Kelsey, and Joel in unison. "Lightspeed Rescue!" The five heroes performed a hand movement before they touched their gray morphers. Energy surrounded all five Rangers. The five of them were all decked out in tights decorated with their respective colors. They also were helmets that covered their head. Each of them had their red Rescue Blasters tucked away on a holster attached to their yellow belts.

The Rangers approached a man who was a firefighter. This man had the word, 'chief' on his firefighter's hat. Carter spoke, "Lightspeed Rescue, reporting for duty, sir!" "Thank God, you are here," said the fire chief. "We are having a hard time trying to get to the upper levels. Both stairways and elevator shafts are congested with smoke. And to make things worst there are people in there."

Carter had an idea. It involved Joel's zord, Aero Rescue Three. The green flying machine was able to withstand high temperatures. Carter's idea involved having the machine, fly him and the other rangers to the top of the apartment to get the people trapped, now the only problem was to figure out how many people were trapped inside and where they were.

Carter turned around to look for his comrade, the Green Ranger, who was currently no where in sight. "Where the hell can Joel be?" "I don't know," said Dana the Pink Ranger. "But we have to act soon." She was pushing on a button on the right side of her helmet, scanning the interior of the apartment building. "According to my med-scan there are twelve people trapped in an apartment on the eighty-first floor. Also, their bio-signs are quickly dropping, it has to be because of smoke inhalation!"

Chad, the Blue Ranger, then spoke, "We will need a lot of water to put the fire out, and soon. The building structure is becoming unstable!" "Chad, summon your Hydro Rescue!" ordered Carter. "We need to stop this fire in its tracks now!" "Right," said Chad. Now, where the hell is Joel? thought Carter. Chad pushed a button at the side of his helmet and said, "Lightspeed Blue to Aquabase, Lightspeed Blue to Aquabase, Aquabase do you hear me?" .
Captain William Mitchell and Miss Angela Fairweather were standing in the high tech control room of the Lightspeed Aquabase. The Aquabase was the underwater base of operations for the Power Rangers and a division of the United States Defense Department called Lightspeed Rescue.
Capt. Mitchell was standing by a communications station, which was manned by a Lightspeed officer named Ensign Mike Corbett. "Ensign, open a channel with Lightspeed Blue." "Yes, sir," said Ensign Corbett. The captain was the commanding officer of the Aquabase. He got to such a position after many years serving his country as a rescue worker, a firefighter, a police officer, and a Navy officer. "Lightspeed Blue, Aquabase reads you loud and clear. What is the problem?"
"Well, sir, can you ask Miss Fairweather to send the Hydro Rescue, a.s.a.p."
"Yes, I will. Aquabase over and out."
"Miss Fairweather."
"Yes, Captain." Miss Fairweather was the chief science and technology officer on the Aquabase. She was the scientist responsible for the creation of the Power Ranger's morphers, zords, weapons, and other gadgetry.
"Send Hydro Rescue Two to the Rangers, the situation is becoming critical."
"Yes, sir." The scientist walked over to the tech. station, which was manned by two junior officers.
Ensign Corbett spoke to his commanding officer, "Captain, Lightspeed Green is on the horn."

A train hangar lifted up from a pod attached to the underwater base. When it got above the water, a train bridge usually used for Mariner Bay's public train system attached itself to the train bay. Coming out of slot two of the train hangar was a giant train car. It rolled out of the train hangar and began to cruise down an elevated train bridge until it reached the neighborhood where the burning apartment was located. The train car came to a stop when it approached a ramp. The train car opened up to reveal a blue truck known as Hydro Rescue Two. The zord rolled on to the ramp and onto the street, amazingly, not crushing anyone or anything. The zord reached the burning building.

Chad leapt high into the air and got up onto the top of his zord. He made his way into the cockpit. "A thousand gallons of water coming your way." Chad pushed a button on the keyboard in front of him. A thousand gallons of pressurized water were shot from two giant yellow cannons from the top of the vehicle and struck the burning building putting out the blaze. The Blue Ranger pushed a button on his dashboard, and said, " Lightspeed Blue to Lightspeed Red, Red do you read me?"

"I read you, Blue," said Carter. "And the fire is out. But we still can't use the stairs, the building is too unstable. We have to get in through the roof, but that's virtually impossible without Joel. Where the hell can that."
Before the Red Ranger could complete his sentence, a green flying machine loomed over Kelsey, Dana, and himself. The machine was Aero Rescue Three. The machine threw a rope ladder down. The Red, Yellow, and Pink Rangers climbed quickly up the ladder and boarded the flying rescue machine. They saw Joel at the controls.

"Where the freak were you?" asked Carter.
"I had business to.well handle," answered Joel. The Green Ranger had business to handle with a certain printer.
"Well, get this thing to the top of this building," ordered Carter trying to keep his anger in check.
Joel piloted his zord to the top of the apartment building. Carter, Dana, and Kelsey got off the giant flying contraption and onto the apartment building. By using Dana's bio-scans they were able to locate the trapped people. Unfortunately, the trapped people were trapped behind a steel door. Ordinary the Rangers would kick doors down, however, that would be very folly in this case.
Kelsey, the Yellow Ranger, pulled out her red Rescue Blaster and pulled the trigger. The laser weapon heated the door, but nothing happened.

Carter scanned the door, and he spoke, "The Rescue Blaster will overheat before we can burn through this door, you need a Thermo Blaster!"
Kelsey pulled out her black Thermo Blaster. "I knew that!" She pulled the trigger blowing the steel down door. The three Rangers ran into the room. They were able in twenty minutes help the twelve people up into the roof of the building. Carter ordered Joel to take the people to the nearest hospital. When Joel sped off through the sky at high speeds, in the wake of the flying vessel were piles of leaflets having the picture of Joel smiling.
"Hey, I had to do it for my adoring fans," said the voice of Joel over the comm. units in each of the Rangers' helmet. Leaflets fell to the sidewalk below where they were picked up by everyday citizens and firefighters.
"You are such a hot dog," said Carter jokingly.
"Hey, Joel," said Chad. "You are such an airhead!"
"Do you have to be the center of attention?" asked Dana.
"Umm. Yes," said Joel. "Well, I have to promote myself."
Carter, Chad, Dana, and Kelsey giggled at Joel's admission.
"Aquabase to Lightspeed Rangers, Rangers do you hear me?" said the voice of Captain Mitchell.
"Rangers here," said all five Rangers in unison.
"Good job," said Mitchell. "Now return to base."
"Yes, sir," said all of our heroes in unison.
