She now lives with her sister in Blue Bay Harbor and works part time at Storm Chargers while also attending Blue Bay High school
The Attack of the Snow Academy
"Abby!" Kelly called from the kitchen as she prepared breakfast for her younger sister. "Come on Abs, you're going to be late for class again."
The door to Abby Holloway's bedroom opened and out shuffled a half asleep 5'5 teenager "I'm awake," she yawned, as she stepped into the bathroom which was next door and Kelly heard the shower being turned on. She smiled to herself as she shook her head. It was always a wonder to her how someone as hyperactive as Abby could stay in bed so late, even if she had classes that day.
"How can you be so cheery?" Abby called "its 9:00am"
"I actually sleep at night," Kelly called back. The shower turned off after 30 minutes and the door closed as Abby dried herself off and changed in the bathroom. When she actually appeared in the kitchen she was wearing a white tank top, three quarter leggings and was pulling her long black hair up into a high ponytail.
"I'm sorry," Abby replied "I was up doing research"
"You know? I think telling you that you were adopted may have been the worst thing ever" Kelly said as she placed pancakes and a carton of Orange juice on the table.
"Why do you say that?" Abby asked "I have a right to know,"
The red head nodded "I know you do," she agreed sitting opposite Abby "but you've done nothing but research yourself. Abs, you'll find out the truth soon. Just be patient."
Abby nodded adding syrup to her pancakes "I know. This is just something I felt like I had to do, you know?"
"Yeah. Just promise me when you do find your real parents. You won't forget me and Dad?"
"Is that what you're scared of?" Abby asked "That I'll find my real parents and abandon you and dad? Kel, I'd never do that! You and dad are my family, you're all I have. I could be the daughter to a rich couple but I'd never leave you. Yes, I want to find my real parents, but no, I don't want to lose the family I have. I am not going anywhere."
Kelly smiled "Good. Because I am not letting you go."
"Awesome!" Abby laughed, glancing down to check her watch "Oh scratch that. I'm not leaving you for another family but I am leaving you for class. I'm going to be so late." she jumped up from her seat, hugged her older sister and then bolted for the door grabbing her backpack in the process.
Stepping off the last step into the family store Storm Chargers, Abby looked up as she heard her name being called.
"Hey Abs," it was Storm Chargers employee Dustin Brooks "Late again?"
Abby grinned "Nearly," she told him as she pulled on her roller blades and tied them tightly. She then pushed herself up and skated out the door "See ya Dustin!" she called over shoulder as she disappeared from sight.
Dustin chuckled as he watched her go, before turning to Kelly who appeared behind him. Ready for the new day.
~*Abby*~
Aw man I am so late! Abby groaned as she skated around the corner leading away from the road and into the woods. She came to a halt and changed her skates into trainers before carrying on by running. As she ran she felt the familiar sensation of her heart pounding in her chest and her heart rushing through her veins this was perfect. She loved this feeling. The feeling of adrenaline coursing through her system. Abby skidded to a halt several moments later and just before she toppled over into a lake in front of her -thankfully she managed to keep her balance this time- but something felt off this morning.
The lake was still.
There was no bird song in the woods.
No frogs or tadpoles on or in the water.
Abby frowned what's going on? It's so quiet. It's nerve-wracking.
Looking around the teenager frowned at the broken branches and scorch marks on the trees around her "What the -" she broke off, as she hurried out onto the lake and looked down as it swallowed her whole.
When she re-appeared Abby was standing on the grand lake on the outskirts of the Snow Academy grounds. Ahead of her she could see the great marble temple it was one of the most sacred places on the entire planet. She remembered vaguely -before she was adopted by the Holloway family- that this had been the place she had awoken in. She must have been around the age of five or six at the time but this place was where she rested until she was well again. Then her Sensei had taken her into town and she had been placed on the adoption list for several months before finally finding a secure family with Kelly and her parents.
But she always came back to this place. As many people knew adoption was never a smooth process and she knew that she could always get away here.
An explosion caught her attention and Abby felt her eyes widen as she watched her Academy crumble into dust ahead of her "No!" she cried, racing towards the destruction that was taking place on the training fields.
As she ran Abby soon became aware of the gaping black hole in the sky. It was sucking everything and anything up into it. Ahead of her on the battlefields Abby found her friends and other students fighting for control over the aliens that littered the grounds. As she drew closer Abby witnessed liquid like balls capture each of the Snow ninja students and they too floated up into the black hole.
I have to find Sensei! Abby thought as she waved through students, taking out a few aliens of her own as she went. Finally she arrived on the Northern side of the Academy and was pulled into the thicket of trees but before she could scream a hand was placed over her mouth and a soft voice whispered in her ear.
"Do not fear."
It was her Sensei. Once removed from her Sensei's grasp, Abby turned to face him "Sensei. What is happening?"
"There is no time to explain," Sensei Kaemon answered "You must leave while you still can!"
"Not without you," Abby argued. She wasn't about to leave the person who had saved her. "You need help. The others need help. Let me help."
Sensei shook his head "No Abigail. You must go. Follow my instructions and return to Blue Bay Harbor. You are needed there more than you are needed there, my old acquaintance Sensei Watannabe. You remember him, don't you?"
Abby nodded "He came here a few months back. He is the Sensei at the Wind Ninja Academy."
"Good girl. You must go to the Wind Academy. Explain to Sensei Watannabe what has happened. You must assist his rangers. Do you understand?"
Abby shook her head "No. What is happening? Who are these people?"
"There is no time to explain," Sensei said, pushing a chestnut box into her hands "Take this and follow my instructions. You must be careful, Abigail. The fate of this school and the rest of the world now rests in your hands." Then, Sensei Kaemon pushed her towards the trees "Now go!"
Abby stumbled as she caught her footing before hitting the floor. Spinning around the young teen watched as a liquid ball encased her Sensei and he was lifted out of the trees and into the sky.
"Sensei!" Abby yelled. Ducking as a ball was thrown at her Abby turned and sprinted through the trees carrying the box and jumping over tree roots and ducking under branches as she ran. Abby could hear the aliens following behind her but she didn't dare slow down.
Making it back to the Southern side of the school, Abby run straight out onto the water and slid to a halt. She turned around as the aliens stopped on the banks and growled at her.
I'll do this for you Sensei Abby thought as the water rose around her once more I won't let you down.
As the water completely covered her, and the destroyed Snow Academy disappeared from view. Abby was transported back to the real world.
~*Abby*~
After returning to Blue Bay Harbor, Abby burst into Storm Chargers, hurtled past her friends and sister, and bolted upstairs into the loft. Tori, Shane, Dustin and Kelly frowned as they exchanged looks.
"Someone's in a rush" Shane commented, as Kelly pulled away from the group of three and followed her sister upstairs. She knocked on the bedroom door and called out to Abby before entering.
"Abs, I'm coming in" Kelly declared, however, what she didn't expect to find when she entered the room was her sister sitting cross-legged on her bed staring aimlessly at a chestnut box that rested on her lap "Abby, is everything alright?"
The seventeen year old didn't move of indicate that she had heard Kelly "He's gone" she whispered
"Who?"
"Sensei," Abby murmured "He's gone. Along with all my friends. HE'S GONE!"
Kelly jumped, but was more startled when her sister looked up at her. Tears shimmering in her cobalt blue eyes. "Abby," she murmured crawling onto the bed
"Damn it, Kelly! He's gone!" Abby cried, tears streaming down her face
"It's okay Abs," Kelly murmured, pulling the box away from her sister and wrapping her in a hug as she allowed her to cry into her shoulder. Rubbing soothing circles into Abby's shoulders Kelly rocked backwards and forwards trying to calm her distraught sister. "It's going to be alright. Shh."
"How is it going to be alright?" Abby sobbed "He's gone. They're all gone. I'm the only one left."
The red head shook her head "You're not. You're not the only one left. Abby, look at me."
Abby did as instructed.
"You're not alone, understand? You have me. You have Dad. And most importantly you have friends downstairs who are worried about you. Tell them what's happened -"
"I can't," Abby cut her off "You and Dad aren't even supposed to know, Kel. It's a Secret Ninja school. Don't you get that? I only told you and Daddy so you wouldn't worry about where I was running off too, Sensei didn't approve of me telling you, but after I told him about Mom..." she trailed off slightly "If I tell anyone else he is going to be really upset with me. I can't break anymore promises to him."
Kelly nodded "Okay. I won't say anything"
"What am I going to do?"
Kelly shook her head "I don't know, Snowflake" she sighed "I really don't know"
Turning her gaze down towards the bed Kelly spied the chestnut box and pulled it towards her as she continued to hold her younger sister. She glanced inside and saw a white and blue morpher settled upon a velvet black cushion. An idea came to mind. "Actually, I have an idea."
"What?" Abby asked, looking expectantly up at her sister
Kelly picked up the morpher "Find the other Rangers. Tell them what has happened, and see if they can figure out what to do"
"That is what Sensei suggested," Abby answered "I'm going to do everything I can to find the Wind Ninja Academy. But how do I find the other rangers? They have secret identities, remember? But do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a Ninja Academy?"
"You found the Snow Academy" Kelly pointed out
"Because I collapsed outside the entrance at the age of five," Abby defended
"Ever hear the expression 'Patience is a virtue'" Kelly smiled "Just bide your time. Next time there is an attack you'll go help, and then you can tell them there and then or you can follow them back to their headquarters"
Abby laughed "Diabolical. I like it."
"Thought you might," Kelly smiled
Drying her tears Abby returned her sisters smile. Once she was sure that she was ready to face her friends after running straight past them when she had come in, Abby hid her morpher in her bedside table and returned downstairs to finish serving and helping customers.
~*Abby*~
That night, Abby sat cross-legged in the middle of her bed and stared at her morpher. It was a sleek white morpher with blue accents and a power disk attached to the top. The logo on the disk was a white snowflake that symbolized the Snow Academy.
Opening the strap Abby slipped it onto her wrist and grinned at the perfect fit. Like it was made specifically for her.
With one more glance at the morpher, Abby flopped back onto her pillows, slid under her covers and switched off the side lamp which effectively plunged her room into darkness.
Although, unknown to Abby Sarah Holloway, her life was about to take a new turn and long lost questions were waiting to be answered.
