Hey everyone, I am back! I am once again sorry to have kept you all waiting but I was able to finish this chapter. I will post chapters as soon as I can, so don't think I have abandoned the story because I am busy a lot of the time! Enjoy this chapter!
Go Volcanic
At the aquabase, Dana was studying seismic activity.
"Very impressive Dana" Ms. Fairweather commented "You measure volcanic activity?"
"Yeah, I'm heading up to Mount Jasmine to find out"
Mariner Bay
The other 4 rangers were having fun in the city when their morphers beeped.
"Come in Carter"
"What's up Dana?" Carter asked
"When are you guys coming back to the Aquabase?" Dana asked "I need the Rover Rescue"
"After a hot dog" interrupted Joel "I'm starving!"
Dana laughed "Never mind. I'll take the bus. See you later"
"Are you sure you don't want me to give you a ride?" Ms. Fairweather asked
"No, thanks"
"Good luck"
Skull Palace
At long last, Queen Bansheera had arrived at Skull Palace.
"Diabolico"
"Queen Bansheera. You've come. We've been preparing for your arrival"
"Excellent. But where is my magnificent palace?" Queen Bansheera asked "Ah, little Impus"
"Mama" Impus cooed
"We're preparing your palace but there is a small problem"
"Yes, a city has been built on top of the palace and it's protected by Power Rangers and they are from underwater and you know what water does to us- "Loki ranted
"Silence, Loki" Diabolico said "Don't worry, my Queen, these problems will be taken care of"
"They had better" Queen Bansheera left
Mariner Bay
Dana was just catching a bus to Mount Jasmine. When she boarded and sat down, she noticed a man in the front seat. She also saw he was trying to hide some money in a bag. But she said nothing of it as the bus pulled away from the station and headed to the mountains.
Meanwhile…
"Impus has brought up an excellent idea; If we can cause the dormant volcano to erupt, it will destroy the whole city of Mariner Bay" Jinxier suggested
"It's about time that little pest has made himself useful. Make it happen" Diabolico commanded
Jinxier took a monster card and threw it in the monster maker. He said a spell and the demon, Trifire, appeared.
"Things are about to get mighty hot around here!"
"Trifire, awaken the volcano with your fiery breath" Queen Bansheera ordered
Mount Jasmine
Trifire and some batlings were at Mount Jasmine until they found the core of the volcano. Trifire started breathing fire out of its three heads.
Aquabase
"Captain, we are picking up seismic activity in the entire area" Ms. Fairweather said "The volcano has begun heating up"
"How could it be heating up this fast?" Captain Mitchell asked
"It couldn't have unless it was being given some help"
Captain Mitchell already knew who was responsible for it "Diabolico"
Dana was still on the bus when earthquakes started happening. The quakes threw the bus off course, luckily the bus driver stopped.
"Everyone, the volcano is about to erupt. It's too dangerous; we have to turn back"
The man in black got out of his seat and picked up the driver "We aren't going back"
An elderly woman stood up "You felt the earthquake, we have to turn around" The man pushed her down. Dana and the woman's husband helped her up.
"Just who do you think you are?" Dana challenged
"I'm the one in charge" the man drew a gun "Don't make me use this. Now drive" he ordered the driver. The driver complied, and the bus continued
A few minutes passed, and no one dared to make a move. Dana's morpher started to beep.
"Dana" Captain Mitchell said "There's a report of seismic activity in your area. You must return"
The man heard and started walking toward Dana.
"Dana?"
"I said 'no talking'" the man picked Dana up and threatened her. The driver turned but the man ordered him to continue. That gave Dana a chance; she disabled the man and they kept fighting even though the bus still moved. More earthquakes occurred, and the bus swerved trying to keep on the road. But then the bus crashed into a bridge. The front doors opened and the man in black fell. He was able to grab the floor, but he was dangling above a gorge. Dana ran toward him and grabbed his hand, trying to pull him to safety.
Aquabase
The rangers had just arrived at the Aquabase but Captain Mitchell was still not getting anything from Dana.
"Dana, what's going on? Dana, can you hear me?" Captain Mitchell's heart almost sank when he still got no response from Dana.
He turned to the rangers "Go"
The rangers nodded and suited up.
Dana was still struggling to pull the man into the bus, but the bus was getting closer and closer to slipping. The driver ordered the passengers to the back of the bus to even it out.
"Don't let go" the man in black begged
"Never "said Dana
The women sitting with her husband and the driver were both touched by Dana's fearlessness. The woman got out of her seat and held on to Dana to keep her from falling. The driver got out of his seat and grabbed the man's hand.
Inside the volcano
Trifire had heated the volcano up enough that lava started to pour in.
"Yes! Now I can watch my work destroy Mariner Bay!" he laughed
Back at the bus, the man in black was pulled back into the bus.
He turned to Dana, touched that she saved his life. Before anyone could say a word, another earthquake happened. The driver of the bus injured his shoulder. The bus was getting closer to falling.
Luckily, the power rangers had arrived in the Rail Rescues.
"This is as close as we can get!" Carter stopped the train. Chad saw the bus was going to fall.
"The bus is going to fall any second"
"Joel, you are the only one who can reach them!"
"No problem" Joel got into the Aero rescue 3 and flew over to the bus. Aero rescue released some magnets that attached to the bus and was able to lift the bus back onto the road.
"Thanks, Joel"
"You always fly first class with me, girl!" Joel flew Aero rescue 3 back to the rail rescues. The other rangers ran onto the bus.
"Dana!" Carter was so relieved to see Dana alive "Is anyone else okay?"
"They are now, thanks to you guys"
Another earthquake occurred, everyone fell. Dana detected the seismic activity and it was off the charts!
"The volcano is about to erupt, we've got to stop it!
"We got to get this bus out of here" Chad said, but the driver was injured.
"Does anyone here know how to drive a bus?" Carter asked the other passengers
No one said anything but the man in black took off his sunglasses.
"I used to be a bus driver"
"You're not driving my bus, you belong in jail!" The bus driver exclaimed
"He had a gun" the old women exclaimed
"You've got to be kidding me!" Joel exclaimed
"We can't let him drive"
"Wait, Carter" Dana turned to the other passengers "Like it or not, we have to trust him. We have no other choice" the man got up and put all his stuff in the black bag. He then slid it under a seat.
"Let's go" Carter said. Dana and the other rangers got off the bus. The man got in the driver seat and drove the bus away from the volcano.
Another earthquake occurred.
"No time to waste" The rangers headed to the mountains. They found an entrance to a cave. Dana took a seismic reading.
"There seems to be something causing the earthquakes. We better go look"
"Right" The rangers entered the volcano and saw Trifire.
"Rescue blasters!" The rangers fired their rescue blasters at Trifire. Trifire then knocked Carter out the cave.
"You're too late! Say goodbye to your precious city!" Trifire laughed
"Obviously you have no idea who you are messing with!"
Trifire breathed fire at the rangers but they were able to dodge. Kelsey tried to hit Trifire but he breathed fire at her.
"We can't get close enough to him!" Kelsey said
"We need to put out that fire!" Chad suggested
"That's exactly what I was thinking. Dana, are you with me?" Carter asked
"You bet I am!" Dana and Carter ran towards Trifire. Before Trifire could breathe fire at them, Dana shot him with her rescue blaster. Trifire breathed fire at them, but Dana and Carter were able to dodge it. Carter then fired his extinguisher at Trifire.
"Now it's time to put an end to this!" Carter called for the Rescue Bird and fired it at Trifire, destroying him. But the battle wasn't over, Jinxier threw a card at Trifire's remains and said a spell that caused him to grow!
"Rescue zords mobilize" The zords formed the megazord. The megazord was doing a good job at first but then Trifire started biting the megazord's hand. The megazords other hand punched Trifire away.
"Lightspeed ladder arms" The ladder arms went on the ground and the megazord flipped, kicking Trifire down. Trifire released some fire, but the Aqua rescue 2 extinguished Trifire's flames.
"Lightspeed megazord saber and ignite" The Lightspeed saber formed a ring of fire and slashed at Trifire. Trifire was destroyed.
"Mission accomplished"
Further down the road…
The bus had stopped at a service station. The rangers ran up to them.
"We are all indebted to you. You've saved all of Mariner Bay!" The driver said
"Thank you, sir"
Dana walked up to the man in black "And you, you are a hero too"
"Me?" the man asked. Dana nodded
"I just did the right thing"
"Doing the right thing is half the battle"
"And, if you keep doing what is right, you're home free"
"Thank you, all of you" the man gestured to the rangers.
"And you" he said to Dana "You saved my life"
The police just showed up.
"Steve Harrison?"
"Yes"
"You are under arrest" The officers started to handcuff him.
"Officer" Dana stopped them "Whatever he did wrong, you should know he still saved these people"
The officer was surprised but he softened after everyone nodded.
"Thank you for letting me know" the officer said to Dana. Then he took the man away. Dana felt good about herself; she was able to set a criminal back on the good side.
Skull Palace
"This world will be mine" Queen Bansheera said
"It will my queen. Tell us what to do" Diabolico asked
"It has already been done" The queen said. Two faces appeared on the monitor.
Diabolico seemed very impressed "It's perfect, my queen. Mariner Bay will be history" Queen Bansheera left. Diabolico then thought of something
"Raven!" Diabolico yelled. A ninja in black clothing and a mask came from the shadows.
"Yes, Diabolico?" Raven asked
"How are the humans?" Diabolico asked
"They are getting stronger by the minute. Just today, Ryan was able to beat me in battle and Hannah is beyond excellent in combat" Raven said
"I knew they would be perfect for our plan to take back our palace. Any predictions?"
"I had one; I sensed the power rangers are going to test 2 new power morphers soon"
"I have a thought" Vypra said "Let's steal them!"
Diabolico thought "Yes, an excellent idea! With those power morphers on our side, we will use the ranger's own power against them" Diabolico turned to Raven "Keep watch over them and when I tell you, bring them to me"
Raven bowed her head and left.
"Those pathetic rangers won't know what hit them!" Diabolico and Vypra laughed
