Mystic Force: The Return of the Snow Ranger

By xXxKaraBeckerCutterxXx

Author's Note: Big thank-you to all those that have reviewed. I would also like to say a big Happy Father's Day to my grandfather who has always been there for me since the day I was born. My father's isnt much of an option, since the last time I saw him I was about 5 years old. Anyway, I hope everyone else has wished their dads, granddads, step-dads and uncles, who have stepped up to the plate of 'daddy' for us and been there when we need them.

Happy Father's Day to all those worthy enough to be called 'Daddy'

Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers. I do, however, own Abby and anything that is associated with her.

Chapter dedicated to the following: Dean Wincheters Baby Girl, Fallingstart22, Kaigirl16, RPM Shadow, BeckyBoo12221, DJScales andKamen Rider Lynx. I hope you all enjoy this next installment. This next chapter has been on pretty much everyone's mind, I hope it suffices.

Here we go...

Destiny's Revealed

"Abigail," Takara exclaimed, as the White ranger skirted around in the new home she had acquired up in Briarwood "We must talk."

Abby stopped and turned to her mother "Talk?" she asked "About what? How about the fact that you left me for a whole year? I finally accepted the fact that you were my mother, and within a day you were already leaving. Why?"

"I had to leave Abigail," Takara sighed "A spirit cannot stay on earth for long than their powers allow" she explained "I used up my powers down in the Abyss, and when I contacted you the day your father returned"

Abby turned away at the mention of the word 'father' "He is not my father!" she responded "Adam Holloway is my father. Lothor...Kia...or whatever his name is, is not my father! He may have birthed me, but he didnt raise me! In my eyes the man who raised me is my father, and that man is Adam Holloway!"

"I would never attempt to take that away from you, Abigail" Takara sighed "But you cannot deny the fact of who you are anymore," she stressed "You have to understand, there are evil forces working against you out there. If you do not accept who you are soon, then you will not be able to stop them."

"What do you mean?" Abby questioned "What has fighting with monsters got to do with my identity?" she asked

Takara sighed "You have a path to chose, my dear" she explained "I have watched you for sometime from the Spirit world. I watched you all through Standford, and I will admit that I am proud that you are taking a stand in your own future, but this is not the future that you are destined to take"

"No, the future I am destined to take is that of a ranger, right?" Abby asked, a little more aggressive than intended. She shook her head "No, Takara. You want me to be a ranger more than once, but that is not what I want! Doesnt that count for something? If it is my destiny, shouldn't I be the one who decides which way it goes? Which path I am going to follow?"

The former Snow ninja sighed "Yes, Abigail. It is..." she agreed "I just want you to make the right choice, before it is too late"

Abby stared at her mother "I made the right choice," she answered "When I accepted my enrollment to Stanford. Becoming FBI has always been my dream, and as much as I love being a ranger, you can't change my choice. If I want to train as an FBI agent..." she shrugged "...then you're just going to have leave me. If being FBI is not what I am supposed to do, then I will figure that out on my own" she explained "without cosmic help. Understand?"

The two stared at one another for a brief moment in silence, before Takara nodded "Of course my child." she nodded "Of course"

"Good" Abby smiled "Now, im late for work..." she grabbed her car keys from the coffee table in the living room "so if you will excuse me." and grabbed her cellphone, and Rock Porium jacket she headed out.

Takara watched her go "Perhaps seeing your future will help you make the right choice, Abigail" she mumured to herself, as the front door closed with a snap.

"...Do not anger me!" Necrolai growled, as she gripped Toby's arm

Toby nodded fearfully "Okay," he agreed, before ducking under her wing and making a break for it. The Queen of the Vampires growled and turned on him, but before she could attack was knocked aside by a beam of white energy.

The sound of an engine cut through silence, and seconds later Abby, fully morphed, sped towards them. She skidded to a halt in front of the fleeing Toby "Hey! Get to safety!"

"Okay. Yes...okay" Toby garbled, before turning and running behind a few crates and boxes for safety.

Abby smirked behind her helmet and jumped off her bike, as the others arrived in the air over head. Jumping from their newly formed brooms, the rest of the team joined their team-mate in front of Necrolai and prepared for battle.

"Back off rangers!" the over grown bat spat

Running into battle, Necrolai made quick work of the band of six knocking each of them clean off their feet in little to no moves. Rolling onto her stomach, Abby pushed herself up as she run at the overgrown bat seconds after Vida hit the ground. Punching out, Necrolai caught Abby's wrist and twisted it causing the White ranger to yelp in pain, before she was slashed several times across the chest and sent rolling across the floor.

Nick landed in front of Abby, and attacked Necrolai in hopes of covering his older friend. Sadly to say, Nick soon hit the ground rolling into the side of the White ranger in the process "That didn't go as planned," the Red ranger commented

"Yeah" Abby nodded "You keep her busy...I'll get Toby out of here"

Nick nodded "Ok!"

And jumping back to their feet, both White and Red rangers intercepted Necrolai as she made a break for the fleeing Toby once more.

"Stop!" Nick ordered "What do you want with him?" he demanded to know

"The Gatekeeper will be mine," Necrolai answered

Abby frowned, as she skidded to a halt beside Toby "Gatekeeper?" she she heard Nick ask, seconds before she disappeared with a faint pop taking Toby along for the ride.

xXx

"Udonna," Maddie called desperately as she and the other rangers -minus Abby- appeared inside Rootcore. "Something weird is going on!"

Xander nodded "We just had a close encounter with Necrolai," he stated, taking over from where the Blue ranger had left off

"She was looking for someone called the Gatekeeper," Chip added, as just as Abby appeared beside him with energy signature disappearing with its usual sound.

"Hey," the White ranger smiled "Toby's safe. Just dropped him off at the Rock Porium. As long as he doesnt venture outside, he should be fine. I left Buddy on guard duty. So, what did I miss?"

Nick glanced over at his housemate "After you left, Necrolai said something about a gatekeeper," he answered "and how they were more powerful than all of us combined"

"Hmm," Abby nodded, turning to Udonna "Do you have any idea what she is talking about?" she questioned

Udonna paused and turned to her rangers "The gatekeeper," she started as she moved past them towards the Xenotome "was a powerful sourceress named Niella. She was my sister." she added

"What happened?" Abby asked

"Niella cast a spell which sealed the gate and banished Morticon and his armies to the Underworld," Udonna explained "the spell was so strong that it depleated all of her life force. When the gates were lowered into the depths, Niella was gone"

The rangers stood in a frozen silence as Udonna finished her tale, Maddie, Vida and Abby looked close to tears at the relevation of what Udonna had gone through long ago; while the Chip, Nick and Xander were merely stunned into silence.

"But her spirit lives on in my heart," Udonna continued "and through the leagacy of her heir"

"She had a child?" Maddie asked

"Yes," Udonna nodded "and I fear that is who Necrolai is seeking"

Vida glanced at her friends "So we have to find the child first," she stated "and protect them"

"You won't have to look far," Udonna responded "Niella's daughter, and the heir to the gatekeepers power is Claire"

As if on cue, there was a spark and Claire appeared looking nervous. Clearly she had heard the whole story whilst she had been invisible.

xXx

"You're beat! And no one has come to save you!" Necrolai taunted, as she stood over the fallen Rangers.

A beam of white energy hit Necrolai dead chest centre, and sent her stumbling backwards from the fallen teens. "Don't count on it!" shouted a familiar voice, and seconds later Abby flipped over her friends and landed in front of them her arms spread wide "Back of Necrolai, fly back to where you came from!" she spat

"No one invited you," Necrolai snarled, slashing her new razor arm upwards as a flash of purple energy flew towards Abby. Turning her head way from the beam, Abby waved her hand in front of her and snapped her fingers as a panel of ice deflected the beam back, causing for Necrolai to jump into the air to avoid the collision with her own powers. "If that's the way you want it, White ranger..." she taunted

Abby glowered through her visior and rushed forward, meeting Necrolai head on in battle. Abby blocked every move of the overgrown queen bats before countering with her own. She swung a kick at Necrolai's head; Necrolai ducked before sweeping Abby's feet out from under her. The white ranger landed with a thud on the ground before wrapping her legs around Necrolai's ankles and tripping her. Rolling back to her feet, Abby flipped backwards, narrowling avoiding a punch an energy blast from Necrolai, she spun quickly, as the Queen of the Vampires flipped over her. Lashing out, Abby grabbed Necrolai's foot and twisted. Necrolai landed on the floor this time as Abby stood over her.

"You should've realized that I know far more tricks than the average ranger, Necrolai" she stated, looking down at the Vampire "after all, this is my third ranger team..." she shook her head "and im no ordinary ranger!"

Necrolai glared before flying back to her feet, and slashing at Abby's chest taking the 21-year-old by surprise. Abby cried out as she hit the ground and rolled for a few seconds, before coming to a stop on her stomach, one arm wrapped around her stomach and her head resting on the other. Necrolai laughed tauntingly "This may be your third team, ranger" she snarled "but you're just as pathetic as the rest of them! Your rescue failed! Maybe there is no other Gatekeeper..."

She raised the new sword on her arm at Abby who glared up through her visor, before stumbing backwards as a blast of energy knocked her away "What?" she growled

"Wrong Necrolai!" Claire's voice echoed across the battlefield "My mother's spirit lives inside me!"

"Claire!" Nick shouted, as soon as he spotted the blonde

Turning her head to face the blonde, Abby shook her head frantically "No, Claire! Don't do it!" she shouted, but Claire didnt heed her warning and proceeded to put on the headdress which had once belonged to her mother, the second the headdress rested on her head, Claire started to transform. Her clothes changed to that of robes, and her eyes shone a brilliant blue.

"Power of the Shining Moon!" she called out "Behold the Gatekeeper!"

"Incredible!" Nick stated in amazement

"The Oracle was right," Necrolai smirked "So there is another," she stated, turning her attention towards Claire "and my plan to draw you out has worked perfectly"

Claire shook her head "You are going to regret ever meeting me Witch!" she responded, enforcing herself inside a shield as Necrolai attacked. Throwing out her hand, Claire called forward her staff and proceeded to retaliate against Necrolai by attacking with energy phaze of her own.

Burying her head in her arms Abby covered herself as her powers kicked in and she disappeared, before she was caught in the cross-fire between Claire and Necrolai. She reappeared behind the others.

"My new powers," Necrolai whined "They've gone!"

"Claire," the rangers cheered, as they raced forward to join the blonde "Way to go!"

Claire nodded, and the rangers turned back to Necrolai "Lets give her a hand, Rangers!" Nick commanded

"Yeah!" the others agreed

And jumping into the air, the six rangers doubled back for a final attack on the Vampire Queen.

"You will still loose Rangers," Necrolai promised, staggering to her feet. She growled, before turning had taking off into the air, with a cry of "I'll return!" before she disappeared from view.

Once Necrolai had gone the Rangers returned to Claire's side, complimenting her on her battle against Necrolai.

"There is no time for that," Claire told them "Udonna has been kidnapped!"

"How?" Nick asked

Claire explained all what had happened in the forest after she had run off, and how Udonna had come to find her. She also explained that after their talk, Koragg had shown up and taking Udonna with him into the Underworld.

"So what do we do now?" Xander asked

But before anyone could respond, Nick grabbed his head in pain "Nick? What is it?" Vida asked, once Nick had releashed the hold he had on his head.

"He wants to fight you," the red ranger told Claire "Alone"

Claire looked determined "I accept!" she agreed

xXx

"We shouldnt have let Claire go on her own," Maddie voiced her worries, after she and the others had returned to Rootcore and Claire had gone after Koragg alone.

"You saw how she sent Necrolai running," Vida jumped in

Nick nodded "Yeah. But Koragg's another story," he said, turning to face the glowing orange ball in the centre of the table.

Abby, who was resting with her head in her arms, glanced up at the younger teens "I honestly wish you guys would just have some faith in Claire!"

"Abby, this is Koragg" Xander jumped in "She doesnt stand a chance, even we failed against him a number of times"

"I know," the White ranger nodded "But you'd be surprised at what Claire can do when she puts her mind to something." she glanced up at the Green ranger "Besides, if she doesnt need help it's only going to take about two seconds to get to her..."

The rangers nodded, understanding what she meant. They knew that Abby wasnt about to just stand back and allow Koragg to walk all over Claire...hell, Abby wouldnt stand back and allow Koragg to walk all over anyone.

Observing the viewing globe, the Mystic rangers watched as Koragg and Claire battled furiously on the outskirts of the city, using her magic as the Gatekeeper Claire was able to grow to Megazord heights and take on Koragg, alas her magic was not strong enough for the purple warrior and he sent her crashing back to Earth as he followed her.

xXx

"You will open the gates and the underworld will rise," Koragg growled through the crystal ball, as he approached Claire with his sword outstretched

Claire backed up away from him "Never!" she retaliated

Pulling back his sword, Koragg prepared to attack "I said do it!" he snarled, swing his sword downwards, but before it could hit its target there was a bright blinding flash of white, and Koragg was knocked away. "Huh!"

"Koragg!" Chip yelled, as he jumped into view firing his crossbow at the purple warrior; followed up by an attack from Vida. Once they had landed, Maddie, Xander and Abby appeared taking a stance in front of the Purple warrior and taking his attention off of their friend.

"Do not interfere," Koragg warned them

But neither of the five rangers in front of him moved to attack, instead Nick appeared behind them "Mystic Force fighters!" he commanded, using the new spell code Xander had recieved a few weeks ago. Pushing off from Chip and Xander's shoulders the red ranger spun in the air, as flames encased his body and he attacked Koragg with all he had "Pick on someone your own size!" he challenged

Claire smiled, before happiness turned to fear as Necrolai returned and held her captive.

"Let her go!" Abby yelled, turning her attention to the young apprentice. The six rangers raced forward, but Koragg stood in their way.

"Stop!" he ordered

Necrolai held on tighter "By the power of the Gatekeeper, let the gate rise up"

The headdress on Claire's head shone a bright purple, as the blonde let loose a terrifying scream of pain. Within seconds a bolt of energy shot into the air, as all light disappeared over head. With a cruel laugh Necrolai threw Claire aside as the rangers looked around in fear and confusion on what was happening.

"What's going on?" Nick asked

The ground trembled beneath their feet, as in the distance stone walls rose up from the ground "The gate," Koragg mumured, as Necrolai laughed darkly at her own handiwork.

"Oh man," Nick complained asshe watched the stone gate to the Underworld rise up ahead of him

"Oh no," Maddie gasped

Chip shook his head "Oh boy!" he frowned

"Look!" Xander pointed

Tearing her gaze away from the gate, Abby raced to Claire's side and took the apprentice into her arms "It's not your fault," she mumured, as the other rangers joined them "None of this is your fault, Claire. Just know that..." she promised

The shaking stopped and the gate stood proud.

"Now what?" Nick asked, sharing a look through his visior with Abby, who remained a firm grip around Claire's shoulders.

TO BE CONTINUED

A/N: I hate to have to say this; but since I havent written Abby for quite sometime i'm appalled to say that I have forgotten the plot line I had written for her. I know, bad Kara! But never fear, I remember some of the plot I had planned but it doesnt come in until later on down the line. I will continue with Abby just being a mentor to the younger rangers, and hopefully I will remember what I had in store for our favourite White Ranger. I promise I will not shelf this story because of this predicament.

But I am also open to ideas...so if there is anything remotely interesting that you would like Abby to undertake, you know the drill. Message me via PM or Review...or whatever, and I will do my very best to use your idea. Credit will be given where it is due. Promise. :-)

Other than that. Enjoy. And don't forget to review
