Abby Holloway series
Jungle Fury: The Call to Destiny
By xXxKaraBeckerCutterxXx
Author's Note: I think I may have worked out a way for Abby to have her daughter and still be a part of the final Fury battle, something that I don't want to keep her out of. Also, there is the fact that there are certain battles that I want her involved in that Kelly, Nick and the other rangers will want her out of as her pregnancy continues... I may have worked around that too. We'll see what how it all works out.
Dedications: Chapter goes out to the following: DJScales, Dean Winchesters Baby Girl, Bryan102694 and Fallingstar22.
Bryan102694 - I can't answer your question directly, because you are asking for spoilers, and if you had read the Abby series from start to finish you will see that I don't like giving spoilers. All I can really say is that Abby already has a Master, because she has been trained her entire life for this team.
Camille walked the streets of Ocean Bluff, angry. Carnisoar had insulted her in front of Dai Shi, and he had done nothing to stop it, even going as far as to agreeing with Carnisoar when he had dismissed her, so that they could finish training without any further interruptions.
The people of Ocean Bluff screamed in fear as Camille walked amongst them. She sighed deeply, stopping in her tracks
"Normally your fear would amuse me... but not today," she said, changing her appearance into that of a blonde woman.
She suddenly began coughing, as Flit flew out from her stomach. He started buzzing around her.
"EW!" he yelled, looking at her new appearance, "What is this? Halloween? You look horrible!"
"I'm not in the mood for you, Flit," Camille snapped. "BUZZ OFF!"
"I hate to complain, but you eat like a supermodel! Please eat something, so I can eat something!" Flit begged.
With a small thoughtful smirk, Camille realized he was right. She was hungry. She looked around for a decent place to eat and spotted a quaint little shop.
Jungle Karma Pizza.
She stepped inside and saw a table. Unfortunately there were people sitting there. She walked over to them and growled.
"I wanna sit here," she said. "Get out."
The two girls looked to her before getting out of their seat and walking off, complaining about her attitude.
Camille sat for a few seconds before growing impatient.
"Somebody bring me some food!" she yelled.
Fran turned around at the sound of her voice and grabbed a notepad. She walked over to her table and smiled nervously.
"Hi... uh, Welcome to Jungle Karma Pizza, can I help you?"
"Which part of 'bring me food' do you not understand?" Camille snapped.
"The part where you were yelling at me," Fran answered, uncertainly.
"NOW!"
Fran walked away nervously. She approached the front counter, where Lily was pulling pizzas out of the oven, and Abby and Nick were looking through a baby magazine. They saw her fearful look and frowned.
"What's the matter, Fran?" Abby asked.
"Well, I have a... let's say... difficult customer," Fran explained, looking over her shoulder to where the blonde was sitting.
Nick followed her gaze and frowned. "LeeLee?" he questioned.
"LeeLee?" Abby repeated. "Where?"
Nick pointed at the blonde. Following his finger, Abby grinned as she too spotted the familiar blonde, "LeeLee!" she exclaimed, abandoning the baby magazine and hurrying to her friend, she threw her arms around her and hugged her tightly. "When did you get here?"
Camille - who Abby had mistaken for LeeLee - frowned and pulled away from the over-excited worker, only to realize that it was none other than the White Ranger. The Chameleon's eyes were drawn to the protruding bump which appeared out from underneath her t-shirt and a small smirk came to her lips. "Just today," she answered, playing along to the White ranger's mistaken identity.
What better way than to get Dai Shi to notice her, other than to deliver him the White Ranger and her unborn child?
"Why didn't you call?" Abby asked, taking a seat beside the blonde. "I would have loved to have known you were visiting. I could have picked you up; we could have spent the day together."
"What kind of surprise would it be if I had called?" Camille asked, feigning innocent. It made her really uncomfortable to pretend to be good, but if it worked on getting the White ranger alone and away from the others, then it was a sacrifice she would make.
Abby smiled. "Weird, that's what Kira said too," she shrugged. "Whatever. Are you hungry? You did always get cranky when you were hungry."
"Starved," Camille answered.
"I got just the thing," Abby smiled. "Wait right here!"
Getting to her feet, Abby hurried back to the front counter where Lily was adding the finishing touches to her new invention.
"There," Lily grinned at her friend. "Finished! Now for someone to try it."
"I have just the person," Abby smiled, picking up a slice of pizza and carrying it back to Camille. "Here My friend Lily needs someone to test her soy-rific-safari pizza, it's on the house."
Camille stared at the pizza, it didn't look very appeasing to her, but she was hungry and right now she would eat anything. She reached out and grabbed the slice, shoved it into her mouth, chewed and swallowed. "Yum..." she sighed in satisfaction.
"Cool. Lily will be pleased..."
There was a silent pause between the two of them.
"Hey, listen, is everything alright?" Abby asked, sensing the sadness which was rolling off of her friend, "back home, I mean. I know I haven't been around much lately, but things are pretty hectic here..."
"It's nothing," Camille sighed. "It's just... someone I care about really let me down..."
"Phineas?" Abby asked, sounding confused. In all the years she had known Phineas, he never struck her as the type to upset LeeLee, and he actually did have feelings for the human Vampire.
"No," Camille shook her head, confused on who this 'Phineas' was. "No... My boss thinks I'm useless."
This caused more confusion to settle in the pit of Abby's stomach. "Toby...?" she asked. "Well, that doesn't sound right, but if it is true, then, maybe it's time for a new boss?"
Camille looked thoughtful, before grinning. Yes, that is exactly what she needed. Clutching her bag tightly, Camille got hastily to her feet. "I gotta go... I just want to be left alone!"
"Uh... okay," Abby nodded, getting to her feet as well. "Maybe we can meet up later? You know, catch up..."
"Sure," Camille nodded before leaving the store.
Abby frowned after her... something was terribly wrong. She could sense it.
~*Abby*~
At least an hour after Camille had left the store, Abby had retreated to the loft taking Nick and her baby book with her, and there they found Kelly, Casey, Theo and RJ around the monitors. "What's going on?" the White ranger asked, popping up beneath her sister's arm and allowing it to fall around her shoulders.
On the screens Abby spotted Carden.
"Oh, great," she complained. "Big birds back!"
"Let's grab Lily," Casey said. "And get out there!"
Theo nodded and raced downstairs to find his best friend, leaving Abby and Casey to prepare the morphing sequence. Once the other two had joined them, they morphed, grabbed a vine and took off through the shoots on the wall.
"She obviously doesn't know when to quit," Kelly said, watching her sister leave and then turning back to the monitors. She was starting to worry that Abby was pushing herself and her body to far, and the results were not going to be catastrophic if she continued.
~*Abby*~
"I'll get the bird!" Lily said, as she raced ahead of her friends and double-kicked the Rinshi aside as she made for Carden. This left Casey, Theo and Abby to deal with the fear foot soldiers.
"Let's do it, guys!" Abby said calling for her Katana's and running into the midst of the bopping fear squad. Every day during weapon's training, Kelly and Nick would remind her the importance of using them when in battle, it saved her from kicks and punches to the stomach. When using her blades she could keep whatever she was fighting at arm's length.
Running mid-way up the stairs, Abby flipped over in mid-air, jumped over the railing and landed on her feet underneath; slicing through several Rinshi that got in her way. "Ah!" she yelled, kicking up in front of her and knocking another down, she kicked up again only to have her foot caught and twisted.
Twisting over, Abby landed on one foot, stumbled and swung her blades around in a full circle. "Fear Squad, going down!" she snarled, stabbing at another set of Rinshi. "Call to the Beast inside, Unleash the Polar Bear!"
There was a snarl and a giant White Polar Bear erupted from her chest, clawing at the Rinshi and turning them all too purple dust in the wind.
An explosion caught her attention and as Abby turned she saw Carden hit the ground and explode, as Lily turned her back on the explosion.
"Bye-bye birdy!" the Yellow ranger smirked.
"Lil," Casey called as he, Theo and Abby hurried towards their friend. "You rock!"
"Put it there," Theo grinned, pumping fists with his best friend.
Abby grinned and wrapped an arm around the Yellow ranger. "Nice one, cub," she grinned, knowing that her teammates hated it when she called them cubs.
~*Abby*~
Theo and Lily were shooting hoops on the basketball court, while Kelly sat overhead looking through baby names for Abby. The White ranger had returned home, grabbed Buddy and Nick and disappeared again to find the customer 'LeeLee' from that morning. Grabbing the ball and jumping over the cheetah, Theo flipped mid-flight and slammed dunked the final ball.
He grinned and turned to Lily. "Jaguar style," he shrugged. "You don't even see it coming!"
"Okay," Lily smirked, taking the ball, "get ready for an incredible comeback!"
"You sure you don't want to call it a game?" Theo asked.
"No way, there is still a minute on the clock."
"Only you would think you could come back from twenty points behind," Theo teased, patting her shoulders.
Lily glared playfully at him. "Okay, so my game is a little off," she shrugged. "I'm just worried about Abby..."
"Why, has something happened?" Theo asked.
"No! It's just Fran has this real weird customer today," Lily explained, "and Nick and Abby recognized her. When I asked Kelly about it she told me about this girl called LeeLee from Briarwood who was once evil but turned to the side of good and helped the Mystic Power Rangers against her mother, Kelly also said that she strikes and uncanny resemblance to Camille..."
Casey, who had just approached his friends, frowned as he caught the end of the conversation. "So, what? You think this customer was really Camille?" he asked.
Lily shrugged. "I don't know what to think," she answered. "It could be LeeLee... I had Kelly call someone in Briarwood just to check. It's better safe than sorry, right?"
"Yeah," Casey nodded. "Especially now that Abby is 2 months pregnant. She doesn't really need to be captured by Camille; we all know that Dai Shi want's that child."
~*Abby*~
Buddy growled at the jelly-fish like monster that had tossed his master across the ground, Abby was lying in Nick's arms, tears streaming down her face as she cradled the bottom of her stomach from where she had been hit.
"Pesky creature!" the jelly-fish snarled swinging her staff at Buddy and hitting him in the side, sending him flying across the beach.
"No!" Abby yelled. "Buddy!"
The dog crashed into the side of some rocks and whimpered.
"You bitch!" Abby screamed at the Jelly-fish, as she staggered to her feet. "Call to the Beast inside, Unleash the Polar Bear!"
There was a blast of white energy and Abby's animal spirit charged the Jelly-fish, clawing uselessly at the creature that turned to Jelly to avoid any attacks. She laughed manically, before slashing through the spirit and causing it to disappear.
Abby's legs buckled under her weight and she fell against Nick who supported her easily. "We have to get out here," he told her.
"No," Abby shook her head. "Get Buddy and take him home! I'm staying..."
"Abby, you're in no condition to fight!" Nick protested.
A battle cry caught their attention, and seconds later Casey, Theo and Lily landed in front of them as the Jelly-fish grew to Megazord height.
"Now what?" Abby said, as Lily knelt beside her. There was blood staining through her shirt from the hit she had taken to the stomach, and the Yellow ranger feared that there had been more damage done than met the eye.
"Abby, you have to go home," Lily said, agreeing with Nick. "You're bleeding! You have to leave!"
Abby shook her head stubbornly. "You need me to form the Megazord!"
"Your daughter is in danger!" Lily argued, hoping to snap through to her friend. She knew Abby was stubborn, but she hoped that life of her unborn child would be enough to make her see that a battlefield was not a place that she needed to be.
Cheetah and Polar Bear stared at one another for a brief second, before Abby sighed heavily and nodded. "Fine! But someone grab me Buddy! He needs help!"
While Theo rescued the dog from the rocks, Abby prepared to teleport herself, Nick and the Golden Retriever back to the loft were RJ was waiting to examine the White ranger for any internal injuries that may have been caused by the slamming she had taken from the Jelly-fish.
"What about the Megazord?" Abby asked confused on how her friends were going to fight without her animal spirit.
"Call it," Casey said. "I'm sure we can control it..."
Abby hesitated, but did as requested. "I call upon the ancient power of the Polar Bear! Combine with that of the Tiger spirit - Casey, you should be able to control her now!"
Casey nodded and rushed forward with Theo and Lily, each calling forth their animal spirits and creating the Megazord.
"Let's go home," Nick said, pulling both Abby and Buddy closer. The White ranger nodded, looked up at her battling friends, before teleporting back to the loft.
~*Abby*~
The battle was over and the rangers had returned to the loft.
Abby was sat, curled up in her usual place on the window ledge staring out into the darkened skies. She was lost in her own little world that she didn't hear Kelly approach her, and only looked round when her sister tapped her leg. "I know what you're going to say," the White ranger sighed, jumping down from the ledge and walking away, "so you don't have to say it."
"Oh yeah?" Kelly asked. "What am I gonna say?"
"That I screwed up," Abby answered. "That my stubbornness nearly cost me not only my life and Nick's but it nearly cost me Alyssa's too. I know you don't want me to continue fighting; Kelly, but I don't really have much of a choice! This is my destiny!"
"It has been your destiny for the last seven years," Kelly pointed out. "When is it going to end?"
"I don't know," Abby sighed, turning to face her sister. "I wish I did! Really I do... because at the moment this all sucks! I can't protect myself in battle, let alone my child! What if I am doomed to live out the same destiny that Takara did? What if I leave Alyssa exactly the same way Takara left me?"
Kelly was surprised to find tears in her sisters eyes as she spoke, she was even more surprised to hear that Abby was thinking along the same lines she had been a few weeks ago. What if Abby was destined to die at the end of this? No one could change destiny, whatever was meant to be would happen whether it was interfered with or not, that was the point of destiny.
"I know you want me to walk away from all this, Kelly," Abby continued, drying her eyes on the back of her sleeve. "But I can't... I've tried! I have tried so many times to walk away in the past, but walking out on your destiny is like trying to find Narnia."
Kelly smirked, as she remembered back to when Abby was younger and she was utmost certain that Narnia was hidden in the back of wardrobe, it wasn't until she went to Pai Zhuq did the Snow Ninja stop believing in childhood fantasies.
"It's impossible," Abby sighed.
"Abby, listen to me," Kelly soothed, grabbing her sister's shoulder. "Nothing is impossible for you, but you have something that Takara didn't."
"Yeah, and what's that?"
"Me,"
