Return of the Snow Ranger


It was dark and eerie, like stepping into one of your worst nightmares. The surface the lake rippled gently but there was no breeze around only a light mist which shimmered across the surface.

Abby frowned, where was she?

"The lake of Lament," murmured a familiar voice, and Abby jump as she spun around. There standing a few feet away was none other than Claire, Udonna and Takara. "Leanbow's been here! I can feel it!"

Sighing in relief, Abby hurried towards the three females "Guys! It's so good to see you!" she smiled

They didn't answer her

"Guys?" Abby asked, skidding to a halt in front of them "Hello?"

Again they didn't answer her

"Claire?" Abby tried, reaching out and touching the blonde "Can you hear me?"

Claire tensed "I can feel something about this place too," she nodded, looking around as she felt someone touch her shoulder

Takara nodded "Abigail..." she breathed

"Mom!" Abby gasped, turning to her mother "Mom! It's me! Tell me you can see me...please!"

But Takara didn't answer; she didn't even acknowledge that her daughter was directly in front of her. Abby growled, there was only one other time that something like this had happened, and that was when she was a dino ranger. It was like a vision within a dream type thing, really confusing.

"Hello ladies!" growled another familiar voice and Hekatoid bounced into view

"Oh no!" Abby gasped, spinning around like the others.

Hekatoid spat the tar like substance from his mouth at the three women, and the ground exploded. Claire flew backwards, as Takara glowed and disappeared, and Hekatoid captured Udonna. "You're coming with me!" he declared

"NO!" Abby yelled

xXx

Abby screamed as she shot up into a sitting position on her bed, scaring Buddy who was asleep beside her. The golden retriever growled and jumped off the bed, padded to the door and disappeared downstairs.

"Abs?" Nick called, as he appeared in the doorway "Abby, what is it?"

The White ranger shook her head and buried her face in her hands "Hek...Hekatoid!" she stuttered "He...He's..." her breathing was coming in heavy gasps after what she had just witnessed, and she was finding it very difficult to get her story straight. What if what she had seen wasn't real? Just a figment of her imagination her fear and worry that something was wrong playing tricks on her mind when she was asleep?

"Abby, Shh! It's okay" Nick soothed, sitting beside her on the edge of the bed and holding her close "It was just a dream! You're home! You're safe!"

Abby swallowed hard again; it felt like she had just crashed. Her breathe was coming it short gasps, tears were sliding down her face as she tried to register what she had seen and they were mixing with the beads of sweat which had formed all over her body, her t-shirt clung to her chest as she tried to regain her breathing "Just a dream!" she gasped

"Yeah, just a dream" Nick nodded, cupping the side of her face with his hand, and kissing her hair "It's okay, I won't let anything happen to you"

It's not me I'm worried about! Abby thought as she started to calm down from her minor anxiety attack, her breathing was returning to normal as the remnants of her dream started to slide away. But no matter how many times Nick told her it was a dream and that she was safe, she knew that out there somewhere in the Magical world Udonna, Claire and Takara were in trouble.

But what could she do to help?

xXx

Screams echoed around the main street as people dodged aside of the small black-haired girl who was skating at high speeds down the hill.

"Look out!" shouted a woman, as she grabbed her 10-year-old son and pulled him out of the path of the skater

"Sorry!" Abby shouted over her shoulder "Coming through! Watch your step! Coming through!" she continued to shout as she dodged, ducked and skated around the good people of Briarwood. She was heading towards the Rock Porium, where the rest of her friends were waiting for her.

Passing a construction site, Abby ducked as two men crossed the road in front of her carrying several planks of wood over their shoulders "Duck and cover!" she cried, skating straight under the objects and skating off one on the other side

"Hey, kid!" shouted one of the men "Watch where you're going!"

Abby waved in apology, skated up the side of a ramp and jumped over a cement mixer, before carrying on her way. She skated out of the construction site, around the corner jumped the steps outside the store and skidded to a halt seconds before she crashed into Chip who was stood on the other side.

"Where's the fire?" Xander teased

"There's a fire?" Abby frowned

Xander chuckled and shook his head "No, but the way you came around that corner, people would think you were running from one" he pointed out

"Oh," the White ranger nodded "Nope no fire"

"No, just a street of angry citizens cursing the girl on blade skates" Maddie stated, as she appeared behind her friend along with her sister "The whole street is talking about you, you should be careful they're going to consider you a hazard within Briarwood"

Abby rolled her eyes "I'm already considered a hazard" she grinned "Morning Toby!" she added as her boss run into the store, decked out in sports clothing

"And what a fine morning it is," Toby nodded, jogging to a stop and dropping to the floor as she did several push-up, then got back to his feet and started jogging on the stop again "the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I feel like a new man"

"Okay, so where is all this new found energy coming from?" Xander asked, as the rangers followed Toby across the store towards the back office

"Well a few weeks ago, I was blading home from work," Toby explained "Eating a jelly donut. When I began to huff and puff I couldn't even jump the curb..."

Abby smirked "Curbs? Baby steps." she grinned "try jumping a cement mixer..." she nodded

"Your just strange," Xander nudged her

"I resent that," Abby countered "and I think the word you are looking for is 'Extreme " she bobbed her head promptly

Toby smiled at the skater in front of him "Well, I've decided to turn over a new leaf," he responded "Diet and Exercise is the new name of the game"

"Ah, that's great Toby!" Vida encouraged "Good for you!"

"You know? I feel great!" Toby grinned; jogging back to the door of his office "My body is a machine!" he flexed his arm, before disappearing into the back office.

The rangers present laughed as he disappeared, and looked up as Nick joined them from the back room "Hey, what's up with Toby?" he asked pointing at the door to the back office.

"He's a machine" Abby answered

More laughter rippled through the ranger group, only to be interrupted as LeeLee arrived on scene "Okay, brilliant idea" the rangers sighed. "We can start an exercise club, I'll organize everything. We can come in three times a week for yoga -"

Abby scoffed "No thanks, that requires sitting around and doing nothing"

"It center's you and calms you," LeeLee argued

"Just stop trying," Nick interrupted "You don't belong here. We don't trust you and we never will..." he glanced around the store "you can't change who you are" he finished before leaving the store.

LeeLee looked crushed "But I can change who I am going be!" she murmured to herself, before walking away.

With a heavy sigh, Abby and the others exchanged looks. That had not gone well.

xXx

When Nick returned, the others followed him towards a near-by stand intending to talk to him about the way he had treated LeeLee.

"Hey," Maddie said, as she stopped beside him

"Yeah?" Nick asked, looking around at the others

"Um, don't you think you were a little hard on LeeLee?" Maddie asked

Nick sighed "Oh, here we go" he said

"Look, I'm not a big fan of hers," Xander jumped in "especially after we found out who she is, but I hate to see anyone crushed"

"You think I was too harsh, Chip?" Nick asked, pointing at the Yellow ranger

Chip hesitated, before sighing "I've seen tigers with less teeth" he admitted

"Guys! Just because she looks cute and harmless, doesn't mean she is" Nick responded "She's evil -"

Abby interrupted "Part evil" she pointed "Her mother is evil, we don't know about her father!"

"Her mom is the vampire that almost got you!" Nick continued "they took Udonna's powers, hello? We can't trust her!"

Biting her lower lip Abby exchanged looks with the others, she was part evil. Her biological father had attempted to take over the world, if they couldn't trust LeeLee because her mother was a Vampire, then what did that mean for her?

The morphers jingled interrupting anymore thoughts "That's probably LeeLee's gang now," Nick said removing his cellphone; he flipped it open and Daggeron's voice issued out.

"Guys. Udonna's been captured and Takara is missing." the Knight stated "There is a Terror attacking the city!"

Perking up at the message, Abby felt her insides squirm...what she had seen that morning hadn't been a dream, it had been a vision.

"What did I tell you?" Nick asked, closing his morpher and pocketing it "Come on!" he led them to the door

Sprinting out of the store, the six rangers dodged aside as Toby re-entered, almost crashing into them "Does anyone want any fruit?" he called after them, as they disappeared.

xXx

Running around the corner Abby run through a flock of people who were running in the opposite direction away from the giant frog which stood in the middle of their city Hekatoid! She thought skidding to a halt a few feet of the City Centre, where Hekatoid had squared off against Daggeron.

"Don't even try it!" the frog growled

"You're making a big mistake!" Daggeron responded

"No it is you who is mistaken!" Hekatoid argued, before looking up as the Titan Megazord slashed down at him with their sword, before holding him at sword point.

"Okay, where is Udonna!" Maddie demanded

"Don't try and stop me or you'll never see her again," Hekatoid responded, knocking the sword from his face with his trumpet.

Maddie glowered "Let her go!"

"Yeah!" Chip nodded

The eyes of the Megazord glowed, and the rangers slashed at the frog with their sword once more. Hekatoid laughed as he glowed purple before he began to shrink.

"Where's my mother, frog face!" Abby demanded, as she stepped up in front of the creature ahead of her

Hekatoid laughed at her "You can't stop my plan," he hissed, as the rest of the rangers joined Abby on the ground "wait until my babies rain down from the heavens"

"What?" the rangers frowned, looking up and seeing nothing

"What are you talking about?" Nick demanded

"Take a closer look," Hekatoid chastised them pointing to the skies.

Levitated between the clouds was a shimmering sack of "Tadpoles!" Abby gasped

"Frog babies!" Xander nodded

"Poisonous frog babies!" Hekatoid corrected "It's brilliant"

Maddie shuddered "Frogs? Why did it have to be frogs?" she asked

"Plain frogs would have been all right," Abby commented "but poisonous frogs is a whole other story"

Hekatoid growled and run towards the rangers as they were inspecting the heavens, managing to avoid the first attack, the guys rushed ahead of the girls and attacked first; but were knocked aside leaving the path wide open for the girls to take a hit. Grasping hands Vida and Maddie flipped one another over and kicked up at the frog, as Abby flipped over and double kicked at the slimy creature. Sadly their attacks bounced off of his rubbery armor.

Flipping over Abby stumbled, as Maddie on the other hand was knocked clean off her feet and both of them hit the ground side-by-side.

Jumping over her sister and team-mate Vida rushed in for attack followed closely by Daggeron, both of which were knocked aside with the trumpet.

With Vida and Daggeron down Xander rushed back in, but was knocked aside quicker than a person could blink.

Hekatoid then rounded on Chip and Maddie; he grasped their shoulders and threw them backwards through the air.

Pushing herself up, Abby rushed at Hekatoid and aimed a punch for his arm. The frog caught her wrist and spun her around "Get off me!" he snarled at Nick, throwing Abby into the red ranger and knocking them both away.

Rolling across the ground away from Nick, Abby stopped on her stomach and covered her ears as the trumpet of Hekatoid's was blown rather loudly in the surrounding area. She felt a strange feeling wash over her, and only looked up as Daggeron called out to them.

"Now they're in my dimension!" Hekatoid laughed

"Stop!" Daggeron snapped, firing up his Laser lamp and firing it at the frog. Hekatoid jumped into the air and disappeared in a puff of blue.

"No!" Abby yelled "Come back!"

But the frog and her friends had gone!

Great! Abby sighed Now what am I going to do?

xXx

Once back at Rootcore, Abby started pacing -something she usually did when she was worried about something- she and Daggeron were the only two rangers left, the others had been transported to another world and they had no way of bringing them back from there. And to top it all off, Udonna was still in the hands of Hekatoid and Takara had gone missing.

"Can't you contact your mother?" Daggeron asked, looking up from the Xenotome

"I've tried," Abby sighed "She's not responding"

Daggeron lowered his gaze back to the book "And I take it that has never happened before?" he asked

Abby nodded "Yes. Even in the Spiritual world I have been able to contact her, given she seems to have selective hearing when up there, but that's beside the point"

Daggeron let loose a low chuckle, as Abby dropped down onto a chair beside the table and buried her head in arms.

"Come on," Abby grumbled "Give me something to work with!"

With a gasp Abby felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, as images played behind her closed eyes.

-Scene-

"Mom!" LeeLee called as she followed her mother into the underground cavern which proved to home to the fully transformed vampire.

Necrolai growled "What is it?" she hissed, snapping around to face her daughter

"I thought..." LeeLee hesitated "that maybe we could hang out for a while. You know spend some quality mother/daughter time?"

"Can't you see I'm busy?" Necrolai demanded "Hekatoid capturing the White sorceress as made me look bad! I should have captured her"

"Isn't it kind of mean to capture someone who is powerless?" LeeLee asked curiously "I mean, she can't even fight back"

Necrolai muttered something under her breath before rounding on her daughter "You've been spending too much time in the human world! You're soft! Caring! You're supposed to be Queen of the Vampires someday"

"What if I don't want that?"

"You do want that," Necrolai scoffed

LeeLee's eyes narrowed "What if I don't want to follow in your wing flaps?" she demanded "I'm still your daughter, right?"

"No! You don't belong here!" she hissed, shoving her daughter aside and storming out of the cave

"Mother..." LeeLee pleaded

-Scene-

"That's it!" Abby grinned, her head snapping up

Daggeron looked up "What's it?" he asked

"LeeLee!" the White ranger stated, spinning around in her seat "LeeLee is Necrolai's daughter. I think I just had a vision of LeeLee in the Underworld with her mother, if I can find LeeLee maybe I can persuade her to help us find Udonna"

Daggeron looked skeptical "But would she be willing to help you?"

"She wants to change," Abby shrugged "and I just witnessed her say that she doesn't want to follow in her mother's wing flaps." she paused "Besides, it's the only chance we've got"

A dull gong echoed from the crystal ball, causing Abby's attention to drift towards it; and Daggeron and Jenji to hurry towards the table.

"Oh boy," Jenji exclaimed "Now what? Huh?"

The crystal ball showed the ever-growing tadpoles above the city "We have to stop those tadpoles from becoming poisonous frogs" Daggeron stated

"But shouldn't we be looking for Udonna?" Jenji asked "or the rangers, instead?"

Abby turned to the giant cat "The others will have to handle themselves," she told him "I'll find Udonna. You just take care of the city, until I get back"

"Right" Daggeron nodded, and he rounded the table and morphed into his ranger suit.

While Daggeron took to the solar streak Megazord, Abby hurried back into town in search of LeeLee.

xXx

"Toby!" Abby called, pushing open the door and entering the Rock Porium "Toby! LeeLee! You here?"

The door to the back office opened and Toby walked out "What's going? Why are you shouting?"

"Toby! Have you seen LeeLee?" Abby asked

"She's just left," Toby answered "Said something about having to go help a friend. I don't know, you kids are so confusing these days"

Abby sighed "Do you know where she was heading?" she asked

"Home"

The White ranger nodded "Thanks Toby!" she called over her shoulder, as she doubled back on herself and sprinted out of the store.

Toby frowned, shook his head and returned to the back room. Yup, his employees were definitely a strange bunch.

xXx

After snagging her blade skates from Nick's backpack -which was at the Rock Porium- Abby furiously searched the city for any signs of the familiar blonde that she worked alongside. She passed LeeLee's home, no answer. She searched all downtown, uptown and the city Centre; but there was still no sign of the future Queen of the Vampires.

"This is hopeless!" Abby complained, dropping down onto a park bench and holding a stitch in her side "Takara! Where are you?" she asked, looking around for any signs that her mother was listening.

Help us Abigail

Abby perked up at the sound of her mother's voice "Takara?" she asked

Help us!

How? Abby asked I don't know where you are, and the only person who could possibly help me is nowhere to be found

Remember Abigail, the forest is your friend Takara responded it holds the key to many places. All you have to do follow the right path

The White ranger rolled her eyes "and that is supposed to help me, how?" she asked. But Takara didn't respond, with a heavy sigh Abby leaned forward and covered her face with her hands follow the right path...follow the right path...she thought over her mother's encrypted message several times trying to work it out, but she could not make heads or tails out of it and time was running out. "Wait a minute..." she gasped, remembering back to her time on the Ninja team.

It had been the day of the totally talented competition; Cam had left Ninja Ops to find the Lightning Rift Blaster and she had gone to help him! Takara had found her along the way and had transported her directly in front of the portal which lead to the cavern where the guitar was waiting.

"That's it!" Abby exclaimed, pushing herself to her feet "I know what to do! Thanks Takara!" she grinned, before skating off down the path. She had to get back to the edge of the forest; there was no way her plan would work unless she was once again in the magical realm.

xXx

It was quiet! A little too quiet for her liking.

Pausing in her trek, Abby rested against a near-by tree and closed her eyes this seemed like a good enough time to test her teleportation powers. Since she had been learning how to use her Earth powers she had allowed the rest of her magic to slip away, she hadn't teleported in over a few weeks and she was starting to wonder if she would forget how.

Come on! Show me LeeLee's colors! She thought hard, as she concentrated on the several thousand coloured streams that blasted through her mind. Just like the time she had tried to contact Nick, all she had to was find the correct colour stream and follow it...only problem? She didn't know what colour stream represented LeeLee.

Red. Nope. That was Nick.

Green. Nope. Xander.

Yellow. Nope. Chip.

Pink. Nope. Vida

Blue. Nope. Maddie.

Gold. Nope. Daggeron.

Well that's the rangers out of the way Abby thought pushing the six colour streams out of her mind, all that was left now was White. White/Blue. Purple and a Greyish coloured streams. She has got to be one of these!

White. No, that was too easy, the only person she knew who was worthy enough to have a white strand was Udonna, and that was mostly because she was the White sorceress.

White/Blue. Aside from them being her ranger colors, and it being pretty impossible if she was able to teleport to her exact location; the only other person who could have the same colors she did was her mother, Takara. So those colors were out.

Purple. Again that was an easy one, not once in the whole time of knowing LeeLee did she show signs of ever liking the colour purple. But if these streams of coloured energies were linked to specific people, then there was only one person whom that line belonged too and that just had to be Koragg or Leanbow...whoever he was now. But she wasn't looking for them.

So that left grey. Pushing the other streams aside, Abby pooled her energy together as she locked onto the grey stream inside her mind "Please let this be the one," she muttered, disappearing with a faint pop.

xXx

When she re-appeared she had about two seconds to move, before she was rammed into by LeeLee who was walking with such a stride that gave the impression that she was on a mission; and to cap off the confusion Phineas was following a few strides behind, shaking her head and turning it away from the Troblin, Abby turned back to LeeLee "I've been looking for you everywhere!" she cried "When you leave town you should let people know where you're going!"

"What do you want?" LeeLee demanded "I thought you made your point this morning!"

"What point?" Abby asked

LeeLee's eyes narrowed "About me not being able to change who I am!" she snapped

"Hey, don't take that tone with me Pimvare" Abby retaliated "I also heard what you said about changing who you're going to be. And you know what? You're right!" she nodded

"Wait...what?" LeeLee questioned

Abby sighed "I know what it's like, to have people hate you because you're different" she explained "I know what it is like to have one evil parent and one good."

"How would you possibly know?" LeeLee asked

"Because believe it or not I'm just like you!" Abby snapped, angered by LeeLee's refusal to co-operate "Look, I know we gave you a hard time and we were wrong to do that. Just because you were born to evil doesn't mean that you are evil! I was born to evil, and I'm a Power Ranger!"

LeeLee frowned as she listened

"I want to help you," Abby continued "but I can only help you, if you are willing to work with me"

"How?" LeeLee asked "One comment from your precious boyfriend and you'll go right back to hating me"

Abby shook her head "No, I won't" she promised "If anything I'm willing to defend you against Nick and the others. If they can't find it within themselves to trust you because you're part evil, then that means they can't trust me either..." she paused "...we're in the same boat LeeLee, you've just got to prove that you mean well, show the other rangers that you can be good" she smiled "everything else will just fall into place"

LeeLee hesitated "You promise?"

"Yeah" Abby nodded "I promise" she held out her hand "So...do we have a deal?"

The blonde considered the ranger in front of her for a moment, before smiling and grasping her hand "Deal!" she agreed

Abby smiled "Cool!" she nodded

LeeLee nodded in agreement, as she led the way further down the path "Come on, we don't have much time" she said.

They hadn't taken three steps forward, when a voice called out to them and Claire jump from the bushes into the road behind them "Much time to do what?" she demanded

"Claire!" Abby sighed, hugging the apprentice

"Where are you going?" Claire asked "And why are you with her" she glared at LeeLee

LeeLee glowered back "We're going to save the White sorceress!" she stated

"I should turn you into a stickleberry!" Claire stuttered "you witch!"

"Try it!" LeeLee countered

Placing her hands on each of the blonde's shoulders Abby pushed them apart "All right, that's enough!" she told both of them "We don't have time to argue with each other, the more time we spend fighting, the less time Udonna and Takara have! We are all on the same team!"

"Abby! She is Necrolai's daughter!" Claire exclaimed

"I know!" Abby countered "But that doesn't change anything, she's trying to help, and I for one believe that she can. She is our only chance of getting to Udonna, and I'm saying we take that chance"

Claire stared at the woman who had become like a sister to her; LeeLee had to be trustworthy if Abby was willing to put her blind faith in her.

xXx

After another three quarters of an hour, Abby, LeeLee, Phineas and Claire finally arrived in the undergrowth outside what LeeLee had said was Hekatoid's secret cavern "Udonna is through that portal" LeeLee told the other three, as they popped up out of the undergrowth.

Claire nodded "Thanks" she murmured "I'll take it from here, those Styxoids won't know what hit them" she flexed her wrists and started the beginning of a spell

"No, no, no!" LeeLee interrupted her "You can't use magic! It will alert the others"

"Well, do you have any better ideas?" Claire bristled

Abby rolled her eyes, despite the truce the two blondes had agreed on, she could still feel the tension between them "Don't start!" she warned "or you two won't know what hit you!"

"Stay here!" LeeLee said, ducking down into the bush again and hurrying towards the cavern.

"No passage!" the Styxoids growled, crossing their staffs and preventing her from entering

"Excuse me?" LeeLee demanded "Do you know who I am? I am LeeLee Pimvare, rearrange the letters in my last name and oh what do you get? Yeah, Vampire! In fact I'm the next Queen of the Vampires!"

From the bush Abby held Claire and Phineas back as they attempted to approach the cave "Wait!" she whispered

"You are not on the list!" one of the guards stated

"Not on the list?" LeeLee repeated "Did you not hear me? One phone call to my mother Necrolai and the two of you are so deep in the Underworld; you are digging down to get yourselves back up! Now turn around!"

The guards did as instructed, making sure they were not looking LeeLee turned to those who were with her and motioned them forward

"Go!" Abby whispered, jumping up and ushering Claire and Phineas forward. She followed and nodded her approval at LeeLee before passing through into the cavern.

xXx

Shivering at the eeriness of the cavern, Abby pushed on ahead as the others followed behind her, every now and again she was attempting to contact her mother via the mind link but something was interfering "Claire, do you remember what happened to my mother?" she asked

"The tar like substance hit her and she just disappeared" Claire answered "after that I don't remember anything"

"It's okay," Abby nodded "Don't worry about it"

As they pressed on, Claire took in her surroundings "Just one question! How can anyone live in such a dark and smelly place?" she asked

"I don't know," Phineas answered "Just put in a few curtains -" he cut off as two echoing voices caused the four them to jump in both fear and surprise.

"Quick!" Abby said, pointing ahead of her "Hide!" they ducked behind the wall, and held their breath as the Styxoids appeared behind them

"Why do we always get patrol duty?" one of them was complaining

Gripping hands the three females, shuffled across the wall so they wouldn't be seen by the passing patrollers.

"I want to see some action!" the first Styxoid continued

"Oh, count yourself lucky," the second one responded "Those guys never come back"

As the foot soldiers disappeared, the four intruders let out sighs of relief and relaxed "Do you think they heard us?" Claire whispered

"I don't think so," LeeLee responded

"Uh-oh!" Phineas paused "I think a rock spider just crawled down my pants"

Abby's eyes widened as she cupped her hand over her mouth, muffling her screams as she jumped away from the wall. She really didn't like spiders.

"Shh!" LeeLee and Claire hissed, as Abby glared at the two blondes

"Well, excuse me for having a fear!" she snapped, stalking past into another part of the cave "Look!" she whispered, stooping down and picking up a piece of woolen cloth "Claire! This must be a part of Udonna's shawl, it's the only other thing -apart from what I am wearing- that is white!"

Claire nodded as she popped up beside the White ranger and took the piece of cloth in her own hands "So, where is she?"

Abby shrugged "I don't know" she sighed "LeeLee?"

"This way," LeeLee said, motioning over her shoulder

"Go!" Abby said, pushing Phineas and Claire in the direction of the first blonde "Quick, before they come back"

And they followed.

Entering the next chamber, Abby frowned as she spotted three alters full of cake "Huh...this place is totally weird!" she frowned, dipping her finger into the frosting of one of the cakes and sucking it off "Mhmm...Strawberry!" she declared

"Okay, we tried," Phineas said, swallow a cake from the table "but if Udonna's not here, where is she?" he asked, devouring another sugary dessert

"Don't worry!" LeeLee said "We'll find her"

Abby nudged Claire and nodded in LeeLee's direction, silently telling the apprentice that some people really do change.

While Phineas was devouring the cakes on the alter, and Abby was eating the icing off of another, neither of the four noticed the arrival of Hekatoid, Udonna and the Styxoids "The rangers don't know about this secret hideout my prize," the giant frog's voice caused them to jump in alarm as he stood less than three feet away from them "They'll never find you! And anyway I have their powers in here!"

Abby spun around at the word 'powers' and saw Hekatoid hold up a jar which was illuminating itself with several different colors "Not again!" she complained, upon hearing the rangers losing their powers "You know? This is the first team I have been on where the rangers lose their powers more than once"

"Quick!" Phineas panicked "Pretend you're a dessert!"

The three females rolled their eyes "Finishio!" Claire commanded, and the four of them disappeared from sight as Hekatoid entered the cave.

xXx

The moment Hekatoid and the foot soldiers had taken off once more, Claire relinquished the magic spell and she along with the others re-appeared.

"Udonna!" Abby and Claire gasped, darting forwards towards the cage and surveying the White sorceress inside. She was unconscious.

"We have to hurry!" LeeLee announced "You used Magic, they'll be coming!" she turned towards the exit

Claire looked scared

Abby sighed "Okay, come on! If the others are coming, then we don't have time to stand around" she turned back to Udonna "if we can't use Magic to break her out, I'll have to teleport her out"

"Isn't that the same as magic?" LeeLee asked

"No," Abby answered "I've had teleportation powers since birth, they're not connected to my magic in any way" she explained "Stand back"

Claire, LeeLee and Phineas stepped back

Takara? If you can hear me...now would be the best time to answer Abby thought as she held out her hands and closed her eyes "Udonna!" she called.

There was a flash of white and the White sorceress disappeared from her cage, and appeared slouched into Abby's arms.

"Whoa," the White ranger cried, as she stumbled under the dead weight of her mentor "Phineas! Help!" she squeaked "LeeLee, Claire clear the alter"

The two blondes did as instructed and pushed all the desserts from the stone table onto the floor. Once the alter had been cleared, Abby and Phineas lifted Udonna onto it and backed off towards the two blondes.

"She is still under the spell!" LeeLee pointed out the obvious

Abby withdrew her hands "I don't have a spell for that," she said, turning to Claire "Do you?"

The apprentice waved her hands in a spell fashion, muttered the ancient language and thrust her palms out at Udonna. Nothing happened.

"I can't break it," Claire panicked "What are we going to do?"

"There is only one thing left to try," LeeLee stated, turning to the others, but before she could elaborate on her statement four foot soldiers run into the cave.

"Stop!" the head foot soldier ordered "Get them!"

Jumping over the alter, Abby fell into a battle stance.

"Come on," the main Styxoid growled at her, as he advanced forward

"Okay, you asked for it!" Abby retorted, darting forward and dropkicking the first foot soldier before jumping over them and double kicking and punching at the rest of them, kicking up Abby flipped backwards and pushed off the cave wall as Phineas ducked underneath her and knocked one of the foot soldiers aside as the White ranger landed opposite him in a crouch "Thanks" she nodded

Phineas smiled and nodded back, before the two returned to battle.

Cartwheeling aside, Abby flipped over a number of times and ducked down behind another alter as a Styxoid aimed his staff at her and fired several green lasers. Dodging the lasers, Abby rolled out from behind the alter and blasted the Styxoid away with a series of snowballs; the frozen ice balls hit him dead in the chest and knocked him through the air into the opposite wall.

Once the last of her Styxoids were down, Abby dusted off her jeans and turned to Phineas who was dragging another foot soldier around on the floor "What are you doing?" she asked

"I'm wiping the floor with him!" Phineas laughed, before swinging the Styxoid in a complete circle and letting go. The foot soldier hit the wall and slumped to the ground "Yup! Now it's clean" he nodded

Abby rolled her eyes as she scuttled around him, and leaned over Udonna

"That was great," LeeLee smiled bashfully as she approached Phineas "You are so strong"

"Oh," Phineas blushed "at your service, Milady" he bowed, and just in time as the Styxoid made it back to his feet and took a swipe at him with his staff. Pushing down on Phineas' shoulder LeeLee kicked the Styxoid back down, before landing.

Both parties giggled, as Abby smiled at their harmless flirting. It was kind of difficult to watch considering Phineas wasn't exactly a human but in a way it was also quite sweet.

"You said that there was one last thing we could try," Claire interrupted, her voice cracking "What is it?"

"Oh," LeeLee nodded, reaching over her shoulder and pulling a staff from her backpack. The emblem on the top of the staff dimmed as Claire gaped, Phineas backed up and Abby gasped as she looked up.

"That's my Snow staff!" the White ranger exclaimed "How did you get it?" she asked

LeeLee smiled "I borrowed it from my mom," she answered "Without telling her"

Claire and Abby exchanged smiles "Let's do it!" the White ranger nodded, taking the staff from the apprentice and wrapping Udonna's hands around it, as she laid it out on her mentor's chest.

"Now what?" LeeLee asked

"We need to channel our powers," Claire answered

Abby nodded and held out her hand to the apprentice, who in turn held her hand out to Phineas; and -with rather bashful smiles- Phineas and LeeLee grasped hands. Claire started the chant as the other three followed her lead, their voices mixing together in perfect sync as the snowflake on top of the snow staff shone brightly and thousands of bright white lights exploded through the cave.

xXx

"...It doesn't matter!" Hekatoid yelled angrily, as the ranger's magic was returned the moment Nick opened the containment jar. Looking up he watched as the sack around his 'babies' broke and frogs rained down from the clouds "Fall my children!"

Twirling the staff in her hand, Abby run her fingers over the snowflake and smirked "Time for the deep freeze!" she commented, glancing to the side and receiving a nod of approval from her mother. With a smile, Abby thrust the staff into the air and watched as a blast of snow washed over the frogs and they froze instantly

"What?" Hekatoid demanded "What happened?"

"They froze...?" Daggeron stated, looking confused. There was only two people alive that he knew could do that. And neither of them was present. Or so he thought.

Stepping up into plain view of the courtyard below, Abby nodded "That's right!" she said, her voice alerting the others to her presence "I thought you could use some snow power!" she grinned, spinning her staff around and lowering it from the air.

"Oh shucks..." the frog grumbled, as the seventh and final ranger finally arrived.

As for the rest of the rangers, they sighed in relief at the presence of a familiar face "Abby!" they called, racing up the stairs and skidding to halts either side of their team-mate "You're back!"

"Yeah," Abby smiled "and Udonna is safe at Rootcore..." she added, much to the pleasure of her friends "So how about we finish this Terror and go home?" she offered

Nick nodded "Gladly!" he agreed

Removing their morphers, the five rangers morphed "Legendary Source! Mystic Force!" they commanded, transforming first into their normal ranger forms, and then upgrading to the next level.

Twirling her staff in her hand, Abby run her fingers across it once more as a blur of white and blue energy pulsed through it "Flurry of Snow! White Mystic Ranger!" she grinned as she adopted her usual pose, as her element flurried down around her

"Mystic Lion staffs!" Nick followed suit, as the others adopted their own usual poses

"Power Rangers! Mystic Force!" the six of them commanded finally, adopting the team stance. With Abby and Nick as the two main power sources and their friends and team-mates either side of them. They were back! They were at full power again! And they were ready for action!

Hekatoid meanwhile didn't seem put out by the alliance of the rangers "You won't stop me!" he growled "I'm a Terror!"

"Dude, have you not been following your fellow Terrors?" Abby asked "Each and every one that has gone up against us has failed! Why should you be any different?"

As if to answer her question, Hekatoid's cheeks inflamed as he spat a black tar like substance at the Rangers.

Stepping back, Abby watched as the others created protective shields around them as the tar like substance bounced off and disappeared. Kicking off from the ground, the White ranger shot into the air and prepared her attack "Snow Staff!" she commanded "Fire!" and she shot a series of solid icicles at the frog, knocking him off balance "Guys! We have to combine our powers; it's the only way to stop him!"

"Yeah!" the others nodded

Turning his Lion staff to face him Nick turned the dial on code two, and fell into formation with the others, as Abby knelt beneath him "Legend Warriors! United formation!" the center of the staffs emitted a brilliant golden light "Fire!" the energy blast ripped through the air and hit the frog, causing him to explode on impact.

"Yeah!" the rangers cheered at their recent defeat "Mystic Force!"

xXx

Later that afternoon, after the battle and everyone had been returned to Rootcore safely. The rangers were reunited with Udonna and Claire.

"Udonna!" Vida smiled as she threw her arms around her mentor, followed closely by Xander

Abby smiled as she stood alongside Takara and watched the reunion, she had been there when Udonna had been rescued, and she had already had her reunion, now it was time for the others to have their time. But above all others she wanted Nick to have his reunion -again- with his mother. He deserved it.

"I thought I'd never see you again," Nick's voice interrupted any and all thoughts of Abby's as his mother turned to him.

"Everything happens for a reason, Nick" Udonna responded "We just don't always know what that reason is" she smiled, before hugging him

Abby smiled and looked up at the spirit beside her "Thank-you" she whispered. Her mother nodded, tucked a strand of hair behind her daughter's ear, and disappeared.

"What is she doing here?" Nick demanded, as he finally spotted LeeLee. He started forward only to stop as Phineas, Claire -and much to everyone's surprise- Abby, stepped in front of him

"She's with me," Phineas answered

Claire nodded "and me too" she answered

"And to answer your question," Abby responded "I brought her here. If it hadn't been for LeeLee, we would never have found Udonna. She's trustworthy now; I wouldn't have brought her here if I didn't think so"

Udonna touched her son's shoulders and nodded in agreement with her successor

"Don't worry," LeeLee sighed "I understand..."

Glancing over her shoulder, Abby felt her heart break at the look on LeeLee's face "Nick..." she pleaded, upholding her end of the deal and standing up in LeeLee's defense.

Looking away from the infamous 'puppy-dog' look, Nick sighed heavily "Come here then," he said, turning back to the three females and Phineas in front of him "Can't have a group hug without the whole group" he finished, grasping Abby's wrist and pulling her towards him.

Abby smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and felt his arms wrap around her waist tightly, while the others bore down upon them from both behind and ahead, with a small laugh, Abby slid to the side as she wrapped her arm around Maddie's waist and smiled towards LeeLee who stood directly opposite her, before both White and Blue rangers yelped as they were thrown sideways as Jenji started moving.

"Jenji!" they laughed clutching onto one another for balance.


A/N: ARGH! Abby has her Snow Staff back! How stoked is she going to be?
