All right, here's the deal. The other day an awesome idea hit me for the Prequel to Protector at Reefside. I really want to write it, and that means I'm going to have to rewrite this story. I"m just going to revise the chapters to fit in with what I'm planning. So, if you've been reading this, go back and re-read the chapters. Not a whole lot will change, but enough to where if you don't re-read it, you'll get lost. So. yeah.
Thanks for reading, and being patient. I won't give out a new chapter for a bit while I'm working on editing the old ones. But, The revised versions will be up within the next day or so. So keep on the look out!
A special thanks to all the reviewers! You guys are awesome, especially Gina. .
With love,
Ariadne
Oh, here's a preview from the Prequel. This is still a work in progress though. So keep that in mind, but I wanted to give you guys a teaser. .
Kat clung to Tommy, her leg throbbing in pain as Tommy kept an eye of the tracking device, beeping Lerigot's signal. Kat whimpered as another wave of pain hit her. Tommy looked up.
"Oh man," he said. "We're headed in the right direction, but the signal's getting fainter."
"He must be weakening from the son's heat," Kat gasped. "Tommy, we've got to hurry."
With a glance at Kat, Tommy nodded. "Let's go." His grip on her tightened as they stepped off again, Kat painfully limping.
The slowly crept along the winding path, and as they turned around the brush Kat halted.
"Look," she said.
The tiny wizard Lerigot was being led by a group of chimps.
"Lerigot," Tommy mumbled. "Lerigot," he called as Kat hopped up to a rock.
"Alpha," the tiny wizard muttered, reaching out his hand. "Alpha."
Tommy smiled and slowly approached the wizard. "Yes. Alpha." He tucked the tracking device into his belt.
Kat took a deep breath, and steadied herself on a rock. Tommy held out his hand to Lerigot.
"My name is Tommy, and this is Katherine," he bent to take Lerigot's hand. "We're friends. We're here to take you to Alpha."
As soon as the words left Tommy's mouth, grey clouds darkened the skies. The Chimps screeched and ran away. Tommy looked up as Lerigot and Kat screamed. Black hooded figures appeared around them in clouds of black smoke. Tommy jumped to his feet, and readied himself to fight.
The figures removed their hoods, revealing grotesque and mutated faces of gargoyles and other mythical creatures. They charged at Tommy, who barely had time to defend himself. Kat screamed again as one of them took hold of her, and hoisted her to her feet. Another pushed Lerigot out of the way, causing the tiny wizard to fall and roll.
Tommy managed to kick one of the monsters in the chest, sending it backwards. He tried fighting the other off, but they were strong. Suddenly, a wind blew over them, and three coulds of white smoke came hurtling towards them. The monsters roared and broke away from Tommy. He fell to the ground and watched at the white clouds of smoke swirled around the monsters. He scrambled to his feet and hurried to Kat. He grabbed the monster holding him by it's robe and shoved him away from her. He caught the pink ranger before she hit the ground.
"What's happening?" she yelled over the noise.
Tommy shook his head. "I don't know."
The three clouds of white hit the ground, and a figure emerged from each of them. As the smoke disappeared, Tommy and Kat were able to see two girls about their age and a young man about 20 or so. Each wore leather battle armor from the medieval period, and the same necklace of a steel shield with the crest of a dragon on a thick black string. The red-headed girl carried two short swords, gleaming in the sunlight. The other, a girl whose long brown hair was tied into a ponytail, carried a bow, knocked with an arrow at the ready. The boy, standing at a good 6 feet, held a mighty Broad Sword. They immediately attacked the monsters, fighting them off with great skill. The red-headed girl was just about to swing her sword when suddenly the monsters disappeared.
The three halted and looked around, confused. "What the hell was that?" mumbled the red-head.
The other girl lowered her bow. "Don't know."
The boy spotted Lerigot watching from his place on the ground. He hurried to help him as the two girls rushed to Tommy and Kat.
"Are you two all right?" asked the red-head. Tommy noticed that her eyes were a very bright green.
He nodded, not sure as what to say. Kat let out a whimper as a sharp pain shot through her leg.
"Oh no," said the red head, noticing the pink rangers leg. She bent to her knees and dropped her swords. "Hold still," she said and held her hands over Kat's wound. White light surrounded the girl's hands, and as it faded, so did Kat's cut.
The pink ranger gasped as the girl picked up her swords, and straightened.
"Me leg," Kat said in awe, tearing off the brace. "You healed my leg."
Tommy stared at the girl in awe. He opened his mouth to ask who they were, but the monsters were back.
"I knew they'd be back," the brunette girl growled, readying her bow.
"Get out of here quickly," the red head ordered to Tommy and Kat. "and don't forget Lerigot."
The young man led Lerigot to Tommy and Kat. He gave the Rangers a nod before joining the girls, and brandishing his sword.
As the rangers hesitated, the young man turned his head to them. "Go! Get out of here! We'll handle them!"
Tommy and Kat took hold of Lerigot. "Alpha!" Kat called into her commiunicator as the three strangers attacked the monsters. "We have Lerigot ready for teleportation!"
Light surrounded them, and they were gone.
"Wooo!" Divatox whirled around, looking through the telescope. "What do we have here? Two humans ready for the picking and they're heading our way! Ha ha ha-" Her laughter was cur short as a bang erupted. She growled and tore her eyes away from the telescope. Her eyes narrowed at the three figures materializing in her submarine. A pale man with dark hair and eyes was dressed in medieval clothing of all black. The two standing behind him wore black outfits mixed with red. They were Minotaurs, and they each held an axe, sharpened and ready to kill.
"Who are you?" Divatox demanded, stomping up to them.
The man gave her a slight smirk. "You're new best friend."
hehe. That's the beginning. Just wait until you see what I have in store for the rest! For old readers, now you understand why I had to re-write everything. Instead of Ariadne meeting Tommy after he retired his rangers powers, shes meeting him during Turbo the movie. Oh, and the Prequel will be AU too.
