A Sinister Plot
"Okay," Abby sighed, as she spun around in the temple at the Snow Academy "Im here! What exactly am I looking for?"
To any of the other students she would have been talking to herself, but in theory she was trying to contact Takara for help. The old Ninja had come to her last night in her dreams and told her to return to the Snow Academy that there was something there that she seeked, but in truth, there was nothing she seeked here at the Snow Academy. She had everything she needed from here; a home, friends, family and training what else could this place possibly give her that she needed?
"Takara?" she questioned, looking around the hallway in which she stood; it was the wall of fighters, some had graduated and gone to places like the Elemental Academy; the same place she had been accepted to go to and train when she had graduated the Snow Academy, others had gone to the Ninja Academy in Nepal, the same Academy that Hunter's sister Leanne had gone when she graduated the Thunder Academy, and others had, like Takara were up there because she the top fighter at the Snow Academy back in the day but she had disappeared off the face of the Earth after one miss-understanding at the Wind Ninja Academy. Turning to the picture in question, Abby raised her arms "What am I looking for?" she asked the picture.
But she recieved nothing but silence.
With a sigh and small shake of her head, the young Snow Ninja turned and headed for the exit "I came...I saw...There is nothing that I seek here! This was a completey pointless waste of time!" she ranted "Im going back to Reefside!"
The time has come for you to follow your heart Abigail, the same voice from last night echoed on the breeze Follow your heart! Not your head!
"Takara?" Abby questioned, stopping dead in her tracks as she looked around the grounds "Follow my Heart?"
It will lead you the right way
"Fine," she sighed "Okay, heart im listening!" she closed her eyes, taking a deep breath "Show me the way!"
At first she didnt think it had worked, feeling relatively stupid just standing in the middle of the Academy grounds with her eyes closed waiting for some sort of sign that would point her in the right direction. She was seconds away from giving up when she felt a sharp tug in her chest "Ow!" she whimpered, raising her hand to her chest where the pain was coming from "When you said follow your heart, I didnt think you meant literally! As it rip it out of my chest and follow it!"
Trust yourself Abigail
"Now, what the hell is that supposed to mean?" she demanded, before the tug in her chest became too intense and she started walking forward. Clueless as to where she was supposed to be walking too exactly, Abby continued on her trek, the tug in her chest becoming sharper with each step she took. Although the pain seemed to become weaker as she stepped in a certain direction "Wait a second..." she breathed "if I walk this way..." she stepped to her left, and almost collapsed as the pain in her chest ripped through her, it was like someone was reaching into her chest and squeezing every last bit of life out of her. Forcing herself back to her feet, the teen stumbled forward and the pain ceased. She scoffed "Talk about following your heart!" she commented "Literally!"
And so, figuring out exactly what Takara meant the young Snow Ninja continued on her quest. Heading further and further North of the Academy the pain her chest became weaker. Finally reaching the top of a small ravine; Abby felt the pain disappear almost completely from her chest "Okay, im here...now what?" she mumured, before something sparkly caught her attention. It was coming from a small cavern in the side of the cliff on the otherside of the Ravine "In there?"
In there the voice told her
With a shrug, the Snow Ninja lowered herself down onto the side of the Ravine and crossed it with ease; as she made her way towards the cavern. Upon closer inspection she noticed that it wasnt a cavern at all, but a small crater and dead in the centre was the sparkling object that caught her attention. "What the -" she frowned, reaching out a hand for the object, she snatched it out of the crater and held it firmly in her hands as the light dimmed and sparked out completely leaving a small jagged white and blue rock in her hands "Can you say freaky?" she stated in a sing-song voice. This looks like the Gems Connor, Ethan, Kira and Tommy have she thought as she inspected the Gem "Maybe Hayley will know something!" she shrugged; before starting her return to Reefside.
-Scene-
Takara smiled as she opened her eyes, she had just watched Abby find the second to last piece of the puzzle. Now all she needed was the proper help in understanding what she needed to do to protect the world once more and hopefully before the impending doom fell over them. "Well done Abigail," she mumured "Be safe little one" she added, before glancing around. The Abyss was a dreary place and she knew she didnt belong here, but like Lothor had told her the day they had become imprisoned together, one day he would escape and he didnt need her training Abigail to be the best of the best, he would take the surface world by surprise and when he did manage to escape the world would fall to his mercy once and for all.
Unknown to the former Earth Ninja; she had a few tricks still up her sleeve. She didnt need to be in the surface world to train Abigail. She could do it from where she was, as long as her connection to her daughter was still open and since the former White ranger was still grieving for her loss the connection was strong, and she could contact the Snow Ninja and warn her about just about anything.
-Scence-
"...I don't understand," Tommy's voice reached Abby's senses as she pushed open the doors to the Cybercafe, later that afternoon "I thought you were dead, I mean the island was destroyed"
Turning in the direction the Black ranger's voice was coming from, Abby found him talking to another older gentleman "Well, I was lucky," the man in the business suit responded "From the looks of it we both were"
"Why didnt you call? Send a message?"
"Yeah, well you know what it is like...starting over" the man countered "Trying to get your bearings"
Tommy sighed "Yeah, I do" he suddenly started to lean in close "Anton, the experiments we were working on...some crazy things have been happening. We need to figure some things out"
"I suppose your right," the man named, Anton nodded as he pulled away "Look; I'll clear some time next week if that's all right with you"
"But..."
"Its good seeing you again, Tommy" and he clapped the black ranger on the shoulder "Truly it is," he then turned and walked out of the Cybercafe, leaving a very confused and lost Tommy in his wake.
Abby smiled somewhat as Anton passed her, before she approached Tommy "Freaky guy," she commented "Are you okay?" she frowned spotting the look on Tommy's face
"Huh?" he questioned "Oh yeah,"
Still unconvinced the Snow Ninja shrugged "Uh, when your finished, can I borrow you?" she asked
"Excuse me?" Tommy frowned
Looking around Abby dug into her pocket and pulled out the Gem she had found at the Snow Academy "I need your expertise on something," she told him, holding the Gem in her hand and inspecting the shocked look on Tommy's face.
-Scene-
The next morning Abby found herself in the Dino Lab underneath Tommy's home; opposite her sat the Black ranger in question and in his hand was the Gem she had found the previous afternoon at the Snow Academy "Where did you find this?" he asked "How did you find it?"
"To answer both those questions," she responded "The first would be; I found the Gem at the Snow Academy. I had a dream...a vision if you want, and my birth mother Takara Sayuri, she appeared to me saying that I needed to go back -"
Tommy frowned "Back? To the Snow Academy?" he questioned
"Yeah," Abby nodded "She said that what I seek was there. So this morning I went home, I didnt have a clue why I was there but it must have been important for her to try and contact me. At first I thought it was just a dream, you know? My subconscious playing tricks on me, but then I heard her voice again, it was a whisper in the wind. It told me to follow my heart...literally" she rubbed her chest to prove her point "I thought my heart was gonna jump out of my chest. So I followed it, the pain lessened the closer I got to the Gem and it ceased all together once I found the crater"
"Crater?"
Abby nodded again "In the side of the North Cliff at the Snow Academy," she explained "Hardly anyone goes there; unless of course you have a class in that area. So im guessing that's a good thing, because the Gem looked like it had been there for years"
"65 million years," Tommy stated "To be exact" he added
The Snow Ninja frowned "But that's when that meteor hit Earth, wiping out all but a few species of creatures." she answered "One of which was the Dinosaurs"
"How did you -"
"All Kids love Dinosaurs at some point in their lives," Abby interrupted him "Even me"
The Black ranger chuckled
"So?" she started again "What Dino Gem did I find?"
Tommy shook his head "I dont know," he answered "Best wait until Hayley gets here; she'll be able to test it and then let us know." he wrapped his hand around the Gem tightly "Thanks for this Abby;" and he got to his feet as he put the Gem away for safe keeping.
Abby nodded as she watched him, a slight longing feeling erupting in her chest as the Gem was taken from her possession "Yeah...no problem" she responded
-Scence-
"...Okay, I'll start tomorrow" Abby agreed, before turning to the sound of footsteps on the wooden staircase. It was Connor and Ethan.
The Blue ranger was supporting a frown as the Red continued to nod his head "Hey guys, listen to this!" Ethan exclaimed turning to Abby and Tommy "Apparently there is a Donkey running around Reefside that can extract the youth out of people"
"Dude, that's wrong on so many levels" Abby responded
"Mesogog has probably found a way to harness youth into energy," Tommy stated glumly "We have to figure out a way to fight it" he looked around "Where's Kira?
Connor looked up "She's at the Cyberspace," he answered "Kylee's have a meltdown about how she looks in her newfound old age. I gotta admit, it was pretty brutal"
"We'll talk about respect for your elders later," Tommy stated "But right now; there's something we need to take care of"
Connor and Ethan nodded and walked to the centre of the Ranger base with their teacher following, Abby jumped up and landed on the spinning chairs as she watched them morph "Dino Thunder, Power Up!"
"Dino Thunder," she giggled as the boys left "That never gets old!" and she spun around to face the computers to monitor the Rangers.
-Scence-
The fight started off as usual, Tommy, Connor and Ethan tag-teaming the monster, until a little help in the form of Zeltrax appeared sending Tommy off into a battle of one-on-one "Aw man this sucks!" Abby complained, she was used to be out in battle, not sitting in some underground cave watching her friends getting their asses handed to them by the bad guys "I wanna help!" she pouted, crossing her arms and dropping down into the seat as she continued watch the impending doom and sheer beating the rangers were taking. "Uh...where'd he go?" she asked, shooting up in her seat as she realized the Donkey monster was no longer on her screens.
Not being computer gifted, Abby stared at the keypad in front of her, she needed to find the Donkey monster but she wasnt sure of how to do that. Hayley wasnt present and neither was Ethan or Cam "Why didnt I pay attention when Cam was showing me the basics?" she scolded herself, before jumping as her entire screens lit up forming one big screen "I didnt do it!" she exclaimed, although she was the only one down in the Dino Lab. On the screens it showed the battle between Connor, Ethan and the Donkey monster "Oh there he is!" she grinned "And Kira too!"
"Dino Thunder! Power Up!"
Kira morphed into her Ranger status "Ptera Power! Yellow Ranger!"
On the screens the four Rangers called upon their weapons; the Thundermax Sabres and lept forward to attack the creature. Abby watched with a baited breath as the fight continued for a few moments and the three rangers were thrown across the ground after being hit by a large laser blast. Kira rolled across the tennis court and came to a stop beside a bucket of tennis balls and a couple of rackets. Abby smirked "How's you're arm, Ki?" she asked, as she watched the Yellow ranger thrown two balls into the air and hit them with the racket "Mhmm...not bad" the Snow Ninja complimented "Could give Britney a run for her money," she nodded to herself.
The two tennis balls became lodged in the monsters nostrils and followed by a shower of sparks as the energy built up behind the two balls and an explosion sky rocketed, sending the monster backwards.
"Haha," Abby laughed "Loser!"
Re-grouping on the otherside of the tennis court, Abby watched as the three Dino Rangers created their special weapon. It was no Ice Storm Cannon but it did look terrifying "Z-Rex Blaster!" the three rangers commanded, firing the weapon as it hit the monster who exploded.
"Yeah!" the Snow Ninja celebrated "and the Power Rangers take the win!"
-Scene-
"...I wrote this song with a friend of mine a long time ago," Kira's voice echoed through the cybercafe, as she stood in front of the many people who had gathered to hear her sing "I hope you like it"
She began with a light, yet simple chord on her guitar
"Best friends,
They come and go depending on your highs and your lows
My best friend decided not to be there when I need her the most
I thought you'd be there for me
Then why did you lie to me
Using me to get what you want?
Then I couldnt believe it happened
No, I couldnt understand"
As the Yellow Dino Ranger sang, the doors to the Cybercafe pushed open and Abby entered, pulling a bag strap over her head in the processs. She turned her attention to the stage and smiled as she saw one of her 'students' singing like her life depended on it. Making her way through the crowd, the Snow Ninja jumped up onto one of the many empty barstools, seeing as everyone else had decided to stand to listen to Kira sing. "Orange jucie?" Hayley asked, the Snow Ninja.
"Yes, please" Abby grinned, liking how Hayley knew her already. She then turned her attention back to the stage where Kira was joined by none other than Kylee Styles. Abby wrinkled her nose, she wasnt much of a fan of Kylee Styles, she was too much of a pop diva for the Snow Ninja's opinion.
"True love walked out the door
Couldn't take it no more
True love
It broke my heart
You make my whole life sore
He said he'd be my baby...
...then why did you betray me?
Temptation got to his head
Then I left him, yeah
And this is what I said
It feels like its gonna be okay
(Its gonna be okay)
It feels right
It just feels that way
(It feels that way)
It feels like...
It'll be a better day
'Cause I believe that in the end
Good things are coming my way"
The two finished the song as the tune faded out; as the crowd roared with applause and the two girls on the stage smiled at one another. Kylee leaned over to hug her old friend "Thanks for everything Kira," she mumured, before stepping off the stage. Catching Kira's eye, Abby sent her a smile as Kylee was ambushed by her fans wanting autographs.
"Tommy tells me you found something interesting," Hayley's voice cut through Abby's thoughts, causing the 19-year-old to turn in her direction "Out at the Snow Academy?"
The Ninja nodded "Yeah, he wants you to test it"
The red head nodded "Yeah, come by the lab tomorrow," she told the Ninja "I'll tell you exactly what it is you've found. Okay?"
"Cool," Abby grinned, before turning around and heading off to group with Connor, Ethan, Kira and Tommy at the edge of the stage.
Unknown to the Dino Rangers or the Snow Ninja, they were being watched from beyond the grave; by the sinister evils of years gone by, each just waiting for the day that they would be released again.
Don't you worry young Abigail...we'll be reunited again soon...and this time it will be you're turn to say goodbye...to humanity!
