I'm saying this now, I'm sorry this chapter is short. The last chapter was a risk I wanted to do and with that this chapter's ideas I had went down the drain. So sorry again, but hope you enjoy this short chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own power Rangers.

Chapter 10:

At all Cost

"Keep up the pace." Spencer instructed the rangers. The butler drove the golf cart alongside the rangers, with Diana and Dillon in the back of the cart cheering them on as the rangers jog around the Hartford mansion. "Only another mile to go."

"You can do it guys!" Diana smiled.

"Come on!" Dillon yelled.

"You two are way to hyper...besides you want to...get out of the cart...and jog along with us?" Will asked as he ran.

"I do many things, babysit and other things around the Hartford estate." Spencer stated. "Jogging is not one of them."

"I'm gonna pick it up." Mack said looking at the other rangers. "Anyone care to join me?"

"Uh, uh...I-no." Dax breathed then ended up tripping.

"Do I look like I enjoy this? Even going at this speed?" Rose responded with a question.

"I prefer to pace myself. This isn't a race." Derek stated.

"Alright then." Mack smiled turning his head foreword, increasing his speed.

"Are you guys just gonna let him go?" Ronny gasped. "Well I'm not!" She increased her speed to catch up to the red ranger. "Didn't want you to get lonely.

Mack smiled, "Thanks."

Ronny started to increase her speed a little more leaving Mack to lag behind, but he caught up to the yellow ranger. "Sorry, I had to, stop and tie my show. Besides I thought you'd be further ahead."

"Thought you would have gone after them." Will stated looking at Derek.

"I was taught to pace myself, as much as I can." Derek stated taking slowly steady breaths.

"Mrs. Bradley taught you that?" Rose questioned.

"No, my older brother." Derek stated. "Des been in the Silver Guardians since he got out of high school. When he can he would train me to give Shay a break."

"You plan on joinging him?" Rose asked. "I mean after you finish with Pai Zhuq and all."

Derek shrugged looking at the pink ranger. "Not sure why?"

Will rolled his eyes and looked at Spencer asking. "You serious?"

Spencer shrug his shoulders. "Not sure what you are asking, come on let's go."

"You guys are slow." Dillon pouted.

"Hey, what kept you guys?" Ronny asked. "I'm on my second game already." Will rolled his eyes and tossed his towel at her watching it land on her back. Groaning the yellow ranger took it off dropping it on the ground. "Ew. You're all sweaty!"

Dax sighed and fell over with the twins looking at him confused.

"Any signs of her?" Derek asked Desmond over the phone.

"No man. Uncle Wes spread the word to Lightspeed, they're gonna help with the search. We'll find her I promise. Does she have the arrowhead with her?" Desmond asked.

Blinking Derek looked at Hunter, "Did Shay have her piece of the arrowhead?"

Hunter sighed and shook his head. "No, I think she left it at the house. She hasn't been wearing it lately."

Derek nodded and turned his head away. "Hunter said she hasn't been wearing it lately."

"I guess that's understandable. If those freaks knew about it then I'll be next. We don't need a Lothor repeat." Desmond sighed. "I'll just do the old fashion look for her animal spirit."

"Wait can't Clare find her with the ball thing at Rootcore?" Derek asked.

"I don't know if that would work, but I can check. Aunt Udonna is stopping by so I'll ask her." Desmond said. "Have to go, it's almost time for me to train new recruits and go on patrol. I'll talk with you later by Derek."

"Bye Des." Derek stated hanging up the phone.

"Game time's over." Andrew announced walking in with Mack behind him. The rangers looked over at the older man. "Anyone interested in testing out the new blaster besides Mack?"

"Wow..." Will awed looking at the opened case.

"Count me out." Rose announced. "I've got a play date with Spencer testing zord motherboards!" She smiled and ran off.

"Nap time." Will smirked. "Beauty rest." The remaining rangers gave him odd looks." What? Look at me. It works." He walked off.

"Sorry." Dax sighed. "I'm taking some me time to get over the loss of my car." He looked at the piece of plastic then handed it to the yellow ranger, then sulked off.

"I'm searching for my missing sister." Derek stated. "Gonna borrow part of the computers to send info to Lightspeed Rescue." The green ranger walked off.

"I'm not apart of your team." Hunter stated. "I'm only staying here to keep the kids safe." With that he followed his brother-in-law.

"So Lightspeed is helping to find Shay?" Hunter asked.

Derek nodded his head. "Yeah, I guess since Carter lightspeed rescue red ranger worked with my dad and the other red ranger to stop some machine people on the moon. We became really close."

"What?" Hunter frowned.

Derek shrugged. "I was just a baby, but I remember Shayera and Desmond talking about blackmailing dad with it. I'm not sure what the full story."

Hunter nodded and frowned hearing his phone ring. Taking it out the crimson ranger picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hunter? Any word on Shay?" Maya asked over the phone.

Hunter sighed and shook his head. "No Maya...no word at all. Lightspeed just got involved in the search."

"Okay...Sensei wants to talk to you." Maya stated.

"Alright." Hunter replied looking at Derek.

"Hunter." Sensei started. "I heard from Maya that another group joined the search to find Shayera."

"That's correct Sensei." Hunter confirmed.

"I see...there's something I must tell you and Derek about the Ice Ninja Academy. It may help in your quest." Sensei stated.

"Now you will comply with me." Flurious growled looking at Shayera.

"I rather marry Thrax then help you." Shayera stated. "Besides, I can't find the jewels with magic. It's not from earth...kind of."

"Oh, I know you can." Flurious frowned. "Now you will help me, or your little children go bye-bye."

"Your sick." Shayera growled moving back. "You touch them, then I'll rip you apart!"

"Ice don't work on me sorceress." Flurious smirked. "I'll let you think about it." With that he walked off.

"Shouldn't you be with your team? Especially with the dragon scale and all." Hunter asked Derek.

Derek shrugged. "When we told Andrew about this possible lead, he just said go, he'll watch the kids for us."

"We're here." Carter stated turning the jeep engine off.

The two took they're seatbelts off watching a Silver Guardian van pull up. "I guess they got the call too." Derek muttered.

Wes, Eric and Desmond both got out the van walking towards Carter, Hunter, and Derek. "So, what exactly could help us with this search?" Eric questioned.

"According to Sensei, somewhere in this rubble is a secret door. Similar to what the Wind Ninja Academy has, expect it mostly of scroll." Hunter stated.

"So one of these scrolls can help find Shay." Desmond asked crossing his arms.

"Possibly." Derek stated. "Sensei also said that the main scrolls we are looking for has no words."

Hunter nodded his head. "It's only activated by a dragon scale and ice magic."

"Okay, so how do we find those two things? For all we know Dragons are extinct and Shayera was the only one I know who can use ice powers." Eric stated.

"Don't remind me." Carter stated.

"Oh come on Uncle Carter, it was a misfire. She didn't mean to hit you, it was meant for one of those weird bug robots." Desmond joked.

"It looked funny far away." Wes chuckled.

Derek smiled and continued, "The current ranger team I'm apart of is currently looking for a dragon scale."

"Okay, so do you think we can borrow that?" Wes asked.

"We can get another one." Desmond said. "My cousin Nick has a connection with a dragon at Briarwood, if we contact him we can get that scale."

"Not only that, but aunt Udonna can use ice magic, and Diana is learning ice magic." Derek added.

"Yeah, so far it's going good." Hunter stated. "But we need to find that scroll."

"Right come on, lets go scearching." Wes stated. "Before freak face comes looking for a pink ranger."

"Am I missing something?" Carter frowned.

"Last time me and Wes was here, Shayera was with us and some guy claiming to be Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa's child took her." Eric summarized.

Just then Derek's tracker went off. Taking it off he looked at the others. "Apparently my team found our bad guy and he got his hands on the dragon scale."

"Go we'll find the scroll." Desmond stated.

Derek nodded and ran off.

"Well it's nice to see you." Will joked looking at the green ranger. "Where were you?"

"Cousin's father-in-law found a trail we can use to find my sister." Derek stated. "I'll fill you in later for now let's find Moltor."

"Well so far there's no sign of him." Will complained.

"Look harder rangers." Moltor smiled.

The rangers turned seeing him standing there. Looking at each other the rangers took their trackers off. "Overdrive Accelerate!"

"Is this it?" Eric frowned taking out a scroll and unrolling it seeing words. "Nope has words on it."

"There's to many, how are suppose to know where to look." Wes sighed.

"I'm going to the way back." Hunter announced.

"I'll go with you." Desmond stated following his brother-in-law.

Hunter look through scrolls and coughed swiping away some dust. "I wonder if it's hidden somewhere."

"Should we give Sensei a call and ask?" Desmond wondered.

"You can, I'm gonna look through this box." Hunter stated taking a seat going through said box.

Nodding the older Oliver sibling took out his phone and called his cousin. "Maya. Is Sensei there?"

"Yeah, hold on." Maya stated.

"Desmond?" Sensei asked.

"Sensei, we found the secret room, but we can't find the scroll anywhere. Is there a specific spot we have to look at?" Desmond asked.

"I only been there once...but if I remember correctly in the car back is a vault. It maybe there. She's not so careless to have such a powerful scroll laying around." Sensei muttered.

"Okay stay on the phone." Desmond stated, looking at his brother-in-law. "Hunter, Sensei says there's a vault at the end of here."

Hunter nodded and stood up. "Alright, you go call for the other's I'll head up."

"Got it, take the phone." Desmond said handing Hunter the phone. "Sensei is on the line right now so when you get there don't wait just open the damn thing and find my sister."

"Don't tell her this but I cried when I learned she was gonna leave me when you proposed to her." Desmond smiled walking off.

"This is...problematic." Derek sighed looking at the large dragon.

"Spencer release the zords." Mack ordered through his tracker.

Derek sighed, and hopped into his while the others got in theirs. "So now what?"

"Derek's right it's way to hot." Dax stated. "We have to get out."

"What should we do?" Rose asked.

"Smash the building." Will suggested.

"Oh yeah, and let the heat go wild!" Derek sighed shaking his head. "We need to get the heat under control. Mack, dear leader got anything?"

"Probably." Mack responded.

"I can't mom. I have to help you take care of Melodie." A young blonde girl sighed, looking at a older version of Shayera.

"Diana, it'll be okay. Remember what I told you?" The older Shayera asked.

"You don't choose the power, the power chooses you." The girl sighed looking at the older woman. "But what about you and Melodie? And my samurai training?"

"Diana Marabeth Bradley!" The older woman frowned. "I raised you to help those who can not help themselves. Plus, what use is your samurai training if the whole world is taken down by this computer virus?"

"No good..."

"They're alive?" The older brunette whispered covering her mouth.

"Go take a look." A older man smiled taking a side step showing a window and two identical brunette boys laying on a bed. "They were one of the infected but with Dr. K's help they are all heal up, along with the other two."

"Other two?"

"M-mom?"

Shayera gasped opening her eyes leaning foreword. "Too many visions..."

Derek chuckled looking at Mack and Ronny going all out at foosball. "Shouldn't you take a break?"

"No." They both answered.

"They still playing?" Will asked walking in the room with the other rangers.

"We went to a movie, and grabbed some burgers." Dax said.

"What are you up to? Ninety games or something?" Rose asked.

"Same game." Ronny stated.

"Tie score." Mack added.

"It's true." Derek smiled, hearing his phone ring the green ranger waved. "Well, that's a call about a possible sister lead. "Tell me who wins." With that the green ranger picked up his phone. "Hello?"

"We found the scroll." Desmond said. "Now we need a scale and get ice magic."

"Great..." Derek sighed looking down at his neice and nephew. "Yes?"

"I miss mommy..." Markus frowned.

"Where daddy?" Ace asked.

"Des, could you get Hunter's parental butt here? His spawns are looking for him." Derek said to the phone.

"On our way." Desmond responded through the phone.

"I'm sorry,I don't think this belongs to you." A blonde woman smirked holding up a unclear object.

"Hand it over." Another brunette woman growled.

"Like I told my little siblings, you have to be nice to get something like this." The blonde smirked. "And you miss, are not nice. You're actually a little whinny bitch."

"You little...Antonio get your butt over here!" A blonde girl cried to a tan black hair male.

"Nope! Not until you tell me who you are to marry!" The black hair male smirked.

"How would I know Antonio. All my mom and dad told me I'm in a arrange marriage. I'm suppose to te...how did you find out?" The blonde frowned.

The black hair male smiled and ran off.

"ANTONIO!"

Diana blinked her eyes open slowly, and looked up at her sleeping father. "Should I wake daddy up?"

"Di...what wrong?" Dillon whispered looking at his sister.

"Weird dreams..." Diana whispered and shook her head turning away.

So there you go, as I said I'm sorry it's short but hope you like it.

Also tell me in the review or if your like me and too shy to say your opinions in the review just pm it to me, but anyways tell me if you want to see a Forever Red story, and see how Desmond and Shayera blackmailed Tommy back then. I kinda have it planned but, I like to know if you all want to read it.

And that little scroll Hunter and Des found will be important in later stories so remember it.

And, if your interested in guessing on what the sequel to this series would be here's another hint: It's based on space explore.

If you want more hints then just pm it to me, and the same deal if you have an idea what it is pm it to me.

Also no update this saturday I'll be enjoying the beach so see you all next time! Bye!
