The End of A Legacy
"This can't be how it ends," Shane spoke, his voice strained as he struggled to lift a a shelf that had come completely away from the wall; and only made the destroyed Ninja Ops look even worse. Behind him, Tori, Abby, Dustin and Kelly were searching for any signs of life inside the Rangers HQ but so far they wre coming up empty.
"Whoa," said a familiar voice from the entrance "What happened in here?"
Abandoning what they were doing, the three Wind Rangers, the Snow Ranger and Kelly turned to see Hunter and Blake enter Ops "You made it!" Dustin smiled, welcoming the brothers as Abby and Tori rushed over to hug their friends in relief for their safety "I thought you'd be toast for sure,"
"Vexacus torched the Thunder Megazord," Blake explained "So we ejected"
Hunter frowned and looked around "Where's Cam?" he asked
"We don't know," Shane sighed, his shoulders dropping
"Sensei?" Hunter questioned "Sensei Kaemon?"
Abby shook her head "Lothor got here before we did," she stated sadly "We're too late!"
"Better late than never, I always say"
The rangers jumped at a familiar voice, and turned to look over at the place where the two Sensei's were emerging; the Wind Ranger's Sensei back in his human form.
"Sensei!" the Wind NInja cried, rushing in and hugging their teacher, happy to see him back in Human form "You're okay!"
Sensei smiled and embraced the three students
"Abigail!" Sensei Kaemon chuckled as he embraced the White ranger, as she too rushed forward to hug him. Relieved that he was safe and alive.
"Its good to see you," Hunter smiled at Sensei Watanabe "Finally"
Blake and Kelly nodded in agreement, seeing as this was the first time they had encounted the older gentleman in his human form.
"And you're like totally normal," Dustin grinned in excitement
"Lothor's energy blast reversed the transmutation," Sensei Watanabe explained "and allowed me to return to my human form"
Tori frowned "But where's Cam?" she asked
Sensei's face turned grave "He has been captured"
Abby whimpered in fear for her cousin's life
"We'll get him back," Kelly reassured her sister as she pulled the younger teen in close
"I wish it were that easy, Kelly," Sensei Watanabe sighed "Lothor is preparing to open the Abyss of Evil"
Abby's eyes widened "Are you serious?" she asked, having heard about the Abyss of Evil from stories at the Snow Academy "I thought that was just Ninja folklore" she glanced up at her Sensei.
"It is no coincidence that Blue Bay Harbour is the home of the Wind and Snow Academies," Sensei Kaemon explained "We are the guardians of an invisible gateway; a gateway that, once opened, will allow all the evil of ags gone by to escape"
Shane pondered the thought "So, why hasnt Lothor tried to open it before now?" he asked
"The Abyss can only be opened when it is filled to capacity," Sensei Watanabe answered "Even then, it can only be opened by a mighty force"
"The Samurai Amulet," Tori stated
The two Sensei's nodded "We believe Lothor intends to use Cam's powers to open the Abyss," Sensei Watanabe answered "and allow an army of evil to enter our world"
"Is this why there have been Guardian's for the Amulet?" Abby asked "To stop this from happening?"
"It is possible," Sensei Kaemon answered "No one really understands why there have been Guardians for the Amulet. We can only speculate that this is the reason behind it"
The White ranger nodded and glanced up at Kelly; as the red head squeezed her sister in a one-armed hug, trying her best to look positive and reassuring.
-Scene-
"We have to the stop the Abyss from opening," Shane murmured as they sat amongst the wreckage while Sensei Watanabe searched through the remainder of the scrolls that Kapri had attempted to destroy and Sensei Kaemon sat with Abby and Kelly "There has to be a way"
"We need help," Blake nodded "Ninja help"
"Where are we gonna find that?" Shane asked
Hunter looked up at the red ranger "Lothor's ship," he pointed out "Every Ninja on the planet is locked up there!"
"We could take the Dragon Force Vehicle!" Dustin stated, jumping to his feet. The others followed but the Thunders stopped them.
"Wait!" Hunter interrupted "Blake and I should go alone; we've been onto Lothor's ship, we'll know where to look for the others"
Sensei Watanabe turned to the Brothers "The Dragon Force Vehicle is in the Zord bay; be careful" he nodded "and thank you for your courage"
They nodded "You can thank us when we come back," Blake told him determinedly
"Lets go!" Hunter stated, nudging his brother
"Don't get yourselves killed!" Abby yelled after them, as the brothers disappeared "You better come back!" she mumbled, before feeling a hand on her shoulder.
-Scene-
"I keep thinking its my fault," Shane sighed from the side of the table
Tori frowned "That's crazy," she told him "How could you have done anything differently?"
"Been a better ranger," he answered "if we had destroyed Lothor sooner none of this would have happened"
"You guys ever think," Dustin chirped "If we hadnt been late to class that day, we wouldnt even be Power Rangers?"
Abby nodded "Me too," she agreed "I was late the day my academy was attacked," she pointed at Dustin and Kelly "remember?"
The two nodded
"You were always meant to be Rangers," Sensei Watanabe stated, causing the four disheartened Rangers to turn in his direction "This is the last entry on the scroll of destiny," he handed them a slip of paper that held four figures. Two boys and two girls.
"Its us!" the four teens exclaimed happily, crowding around one another to get a better look.
Sensei Kaemon smiled, "As you can see," he spoke "you four were late precisely, so you would be the ones to become Power Rangers"
"And you knew this all alone?" Abby asked "Why didnt you show us this sooner?
"Would you have believed me, if you hadnt learned the truth for yourself?" Sensei Watanabe questioned "I have never doubted the Scroll's prophecy"
"And neither should you," Sensei Kaemon told them
Shane glanced at his friends "So what happens now?" he asked
"This is the end of the scroll," his Sensei told him "it does not say who will be victorious; only that you must be there for face Lothor; at the Abyss of Evil!"
The four rangers nodded "Then that's where we'll be!" Shane stated defiantly
The four fell into formation as Kelly pulled back and smiled encouragingly at them "Good luck!" she wished.
"Thanks!"
"Ready?"
"Ready!"
"Ninja Storm! Ranger Form!"
"Snow Storm! Ranger Form!"
And they were off to save the World as the final battle had already begun!
-Scene-
Energy blasts hit the ground; as the four Rangers still on Earth blasted their way through the gates of the US Action Games to find a group of Kelzaks chasing people in every direction. Shane, Tori and Dustin rode in on their Tusnami Cycles as Abby teleported in and blasted a near-by group with her Ice Crossbow, before flipping over another group and fighting defensively. She tossed one aside and kicked up at another, planting a kick in her side, the Kelzak wrapped its arm around her leg causing the White ranger to jump into the air, roll over and kick it in the side of the head sending him stumbling. When she landed back on her feet, three more run at her but stumbled away as the ground shook beneath their feet.
"I think we found Lothor!" Shane yelled, "Look!" and he pointed to something over her shoulder
Spinning around Abby's eyes widened "Whoa!" she mumured
"Lets go!" the Red ranger called, leaping back onto his bike; being the only ranger on foot Abby run towards the mass of Kelzaks and flipped over them as she landed between her friends who had skidded to halts inches away from the Abyss of Evil and Lothor's new Megazord.
"We've got to stop him!" Tori cired, as the Zord stopped trying to open the Abyss
Shane nodded "This is it!" he stated "Come on guys!"
The others nodded in agreement and the Wind Rangers called for their Megazord as Abby dealt with the foot soldiers on the ground. As her friends fought above her, Abby stumbled across the shaking ground, slashing in every direction with her Snow staff and taking out as many Kelzaks with her Ice Crossbow. But it seemed for every Kelzaks she knocked down another 10 appeared to fight. All in all, she was making very little progress.
Lothor's manical laughter travelled on the wind and down to the White ranger who was battling beneath him; she growled inwardly before looking up as there was a crash and an instant tremble. The Wind Megazord was on the ground with Lothor advancing on them.
"Guys!" Abby yelled desperately for her friends to get up
"Taste your defeat!" Lothor mocked, swinging his fist down for the final bow
"Never!" Shane yelled, firing a power sphere that collided with Lothor's Zord and caused it to erupt in a shower of sparks. It was forced to stumble backwards; and the Wind Rangers were able to get back to their feet. But before they could react, Lothor tackled them in a bear hug and seconds later the two Megazords exploded. Abby screamed, before running forward as her friends landed on the ground a 100 meters in front of her.
"Are you okay?" she asked, running across the dirt path to her friends
The Wind Rangers looked up at the smoke cloud behind them "The Megazord," Shane sighed "Its gone..."
The four of them approached the side of the barrier to see the Abyss of Evil glowing a violent shade of purple. Suddenly the ground burst open and smoke filled the air as the spirits of evil's past blew out, materialising in front of the four rangers.
"Their back!" Shane growled, turning to face the Generals and monsters; recognizing and remembering the trouble they had caused in the past few months. The four clenched their hands tightly into fists as Lothor made his way forward through the ground, laughing evilly.
"How does it feel to fail, rangers?" he mocked them
Abby glared "You should know!" she bit back
Lothor smirked "Not this time," he told her
"Ready?" Shane asked
The other three nodded and stepped forward, their visors snapping shut and drawing their weapons.
"Destroy them!" Lothor ordered and the monsters raced forward.
The Rangers met them halfway, blocking and attacking whatever came into range at the moment. Ducking under Vexacus's sword, Abby rolled onto her back and kicked up at the Shark, deflecting his punches with her feet, before rolling up onto her feet and catching a punch from Shimazu and kicking away a monster she didnt recognize in the process before tossing Shimazu away from her. She called for her Ice Crossbow and prepared to fire it, before it was kicked out of her hands by Metropolis; she growled and swung her Snow Staff at the Monster, before Motodrone grasped her wrists, twisted causing her grasp to weaken and she dropped her staff. She pulled herself free and dived for the staff, only to be thrown into the air and landed with a thud beside her friends, as they were surrounded by the mass of monsters.
"Someone pinch me," she mumured "Im dreaming! Because this cannot be how it ends!"
As the army of monsters closed in on them; a blast caught them off guard and sent them flying backwards.
Looking up the Rangers and Lothor spotted Hunter fly overhead on his Glider cycle "Mind if I play throught?" he called
Lothor scrowled "You will never stop me!" he yelled
"But we will!" Blake's voice joined the ruckus. Lothor spun around to see the Navy ranger standing in front of the Ninja students, the Snow Ninja's standing out from the rest due to their blazing white uniforms. Hunter landed beside the other rangers, in the mass of monsters as Shane called for the Battlizer. Lothor called for the last of his Kelzak foot soldiers, who appeared along with Chubo behind him.
"Attack!" he roared, and the fight resumed
The Rangers and Ninja students, worked together as one as they fought and tossed more monsters, foot soldiers and Generals back into the Abyss where they belonged. Abby spun her Snow Staff around as she leaned backwards to avoid a punch from the Terramole. She flipped over onto her hands and back onto her feet as Hunter jumped in front of her and slashed upwards with his Thunder staff, sending the mole backwards through the air and into the Abyss.
"You made it back!" Abby smiled, as she turned to Hunter after tossing the first monster she had ever fought back into the Abyss. The Frog.
Hunter nodded once "You really think we'd let you have all the fun?" he teased
"I hoped not!" she answered, before returning to battle; as Shane flew over head and wiped out the remaining monsters. Lothor growled and blasted the Red ranger out of the air.
The others gasped "Shane!" they cried, rushing to his side and helping him up
"He destroyed the Battlizer!" Shane breathed, holding his arm.
They then turned back to face Lothor. Lanching themselves into battle, he easily countered all their attacks and floored them once more. Hitting the ground first, Abby rolled onto her stomach and pushed herself up as she flew at her 'father' once more. He caught her wrist and grinned down at her "You could have been great," he taunted her "but you chose to protect these pathetic Earthlings! If you want to be like them! Then you get to die like them!" and he threw her into Hunter and Blake who had just gotten back to their feet.
"Enough!" Lothor commanded, raising the amulet "Give me those Ranger powers!" and he thrust the amulet out at Abby, Hunter and Blake who cried out as they crashed to the ground, their energy leaving them "Nothing can stop the Power of the Amulet!"
"I believe that belongs to me!" Cam called, landing behind his uncle
Lothor turned "Not anymore!" he stated, firing a laser attack at the Samurai. Cam flew through the air and landed hard on the otherside of the skate ramp "Goodbye, nephew!" and he raised his hand to finish Cam, when the three Wind rangers blocked his path.
"He's not going anywhere!" Shane yelled "Got it?"
Lothor frowned "Fine. Then I'll take you in his place!" and he used the Amulet to drain them of their Powers too.
Staggering back to their feet the rangers re-grouped together, united as one.
"You fools!" Lothor yelled at them "Havent you had enough?" he demanded. He blasted them again, but the blast was deflected as a bright pulsating light surrounded the rangers and deflected the blast back. Lothor dodged the attack and the laser disintergrated into the ground. "What?" he demanded, the light disappeared leaving Takara standing in front of the rangers.
"Takara!" Abby exclaimed
Lothor stumbled backwards as a flicker of fear crossed his face, before quickly disappearing and replacing itself with hatred and anger "So the petty Guardian has finally arrived?" he gloated "Well, you're too late! The Amulet is now mine!"
"You will never win Lothor," Tarkara shook her head "Not when there is too much good left in the World!"
The rouge Ninja glared heatedly "I have their Ranger powers!" he told his wife "They are at my mercy once and for all!"
"We won't let you win!" Abby yelled, pushing herself to her feet feeling braver now than she ever had before
Lothor scoffed as he looked down at her "What can you do without your powers?" he hissed
"We may not be Power Rangers," Shane answered, moving to stand beside Abby along with Dustin and Tori "but we still have power! Power of Air!"
"Power of Earth!"
"Power of Water!"
"Power of Snow!"
The wind began to pick up around Lothor "Ninja Powers!" the four called, and fired their own energy beams at Lothor. The combination of Earth, Air, Water and Snow lifted the space Ninja off his feet his arms flailing he latched onto Takara, and pulled her into the Abyss of Evil, with a horrified yell of defeat; there was an explosion and the cracks of the ground sealed themselves shut.
As Tori, Shane, Dustin, Cam, Hunter and Blake stared in disbelief at what had just happened, Abby let out a cry of dismay as she realized she had just sealed Takara away in the Abyss of Evil for eternity.
"No! She can't be gone!" she screamed "Takara!"
The six other rangers exchanged looks; they had won...but at what cost?
"What happened?" Tori finally asked, confused on what had just gone on
"Lothor's evil," Blake answered "He must have overloaded the Abyss"
Cam nodded "Causing it to implode on itself," he confirmed
"So he's gone?" Dustin asked hopefully "Really gone?"
"I would believe so," Cam answered
Hunter looked down at his morpher "And our ranger powers?" he asked
"Their gone too," Abby answered "along with the Samurai Amulet...and its Guardian!"
Tori frowned sadly and squeezed her best friends shoulder; they may have won the war, but they had paid a terrible price.
-Scene-
"Kelly!" Abby yelled as she sprinted through the crowd with Tori and back to the Storm Charges van carrying two Trophies; one represented second place in the Skating competition and the other represented first place in the Motocross competition "Check it out!"
The older Holloway glanced up at the sound of her name and smiled as she watched Abby draw nearer with Tori, she took the Trophies and inspected them before placing them in the back of the van and hugging her sister "Well done Abs," she grinned "You cease to amaze me!"
"Thanks," the younger teen grinned happily, after what she had been through in the past few hours, after everything she had lost. Kelly believed she derserved some form of happiness and winning two competitions, proved to be that form of happiness. Just then Hunter, Blake and Dustin approached them, the Earth Ninja grinning proudly.
The three girls turned to them and grinned "Dustin!" Tori smiled "Third place, that's awesome!"
"Yeah, my boy came through," Blake nodded
"Im so glad you changed to Freestyle," Kelly smiled at her friend and employee "You've got a real career ahead of you"
They all then turned as Shane called out to them as he run across the asphalt towards them "Guys, you won't believe this! You know the guys from Truth Trucks?" he asked in excitement "They want to sponsor me!" the others cheered and congratulated him "National tour and everything"
"What did you tell them?" Kelly asked
Shane looked around at the expectant group, he drew in a breath and shook his head, before answering "No. I have something more important to take care of"
-Scene-
"Shane Clarke," Sensei called out his student's name, and the Air Ninja walked forward, recieved his scroll, bowed and walked away
"Tori Hanson" Sensei continued, and Tori stepped forward just like Shane had. She took her scroll, bowed, and stepped into line beside her friend behind her.
"Dustin Brooks!" Dustin bowed with a grin, as he took his scroll and stepped up beside Tori
"Abigail Holloway," Abby bounced forward to accept her graduation Scroll, before bouncing towards Dustin as Sensei Kaemon and Kelly watched proudly from the audience
"Blake Bradley," Sensei Omino nodded stifly as he watched his adopted son accept his scroll from the Wind Sensei
"Hunter Bradley" the older bonde, walked forward to accept his scroll
"and finally, Cam Watanabe," his son walked forward to accept the scroll. Sensei smiled proudly, as an applause rang out across the training field behind the seven former Rangers "You have all earned the badge of hounour, that is to graduate from the Wind Ninja Academy. I could not have been more proud of you. Of the sacrifices you have made for your school's and indeed for your planet" Sensei told them "The world is a better place today, because of you"
A split second later the seven Ninja let out excited cheers and turned to embrace one another as their respective academies applauded them from behind.
-Scene-
After the graduation ceremony, Abby wandered down to the lake of the Wind Academy and knelt on the bank as she looked out over the rippling waters. Although she was proud of herself for the accomplishments she had managed to do this year and the final defeat of Lothor, she still couldnt help but feel distant from everyone else. Yes, she had played out her role as the White ranger and completed her destiny in finishing off Lothor but at what price? Takara had shown up at the final battle to protect her and the others, and they had returned the favour by sealing her away in the Abyss of Evil for eternity.
"Abigail?" Sensei Kaemon questioned, as he approached his student "What is it, little one?"
The Snow Ninja swallowed "She's gone," she answered, glancing up at her Sensei "Takara is gone...and I can't help but feel that it is my fault"
"Oh Abigail," the Snow Sensei soothed "It is not you're fault; you have to understand that. Do you not remember what I told you, the first time you questioned me on why Takara had to leave?"
The young teen shook her head, she couldnt remember anything from her childhood, other than the fact that she had been adopted by Kelly and her parents, and trained at the Snow Academy because Sensei Kaemon had found her outside there when she was a toddler.
"'Somethings arent so simple,'" Sensei Kaemon recited, the same words he had told her when she was younger, hopefully now she would understand them better than she did back then "'sometimes you can't control the outcome; sometimes you have to look at the reality in front of you...and just accept it'"
The young teen frowned "I remember Sensei," she spoke softly "Will I ever see her again?" she asked glancing up
"She found a way back to you before," Sensei Kaemon answered "Im sure she will again someday"
Abby nodded and embraced her Sensei tightly a few loose tears escaping her eyes; once she pulled away she smiled brightly and run off to find her friends. She met them just short of the entrance, and pounced on Hunter's back as she got near "Are we ready to do this?" she asked
"Yeah," the others nodded
Tori and Blake led the way through the Academy to the courtyard; Hunter, Blake and Abby breaking off away from the Wind Ninja's as they met up with Kelly, Sensei Omino, Leanne Omino, Sensei Kaemon and two young Ninja's, whom Abby introduced as Kayden and Damon Kaemon. Her Sensei's son and daughter.
-Scene-
"Keep it moving," Cam spoke, as he looked over the list in front of him "New students...check in over there" and he pointed to the check in tent. He, only looked up from the list when Marah and Kapri entered the Academy. He sighed "You're kidding?"
Kapri grinned "Hello, family right?" she asked
"Hey, Cam we really have to talk about these outfits," Marah spoke "because it makes my butt look really big!"
Cam rolled his eyes
"Not nearly as big as your head!" Kapri teased
Marah gasped "I do not have a big head!" she retaliated
"Of course you do," Kapri continued "Its huge!"
The two walked away, still fighting. Sensei smiled, as he approached his son "Its a shame one cannot choose one's family" he told his son
"Im just happy I don't have to mine guniea pig food, anymore" Cam smiled
"Hey hold up," came a familiar shout, as the three kids who had helped Cam and Hunter back at the beginning of the battle appeared
Cam frowned "You three?" he questioned
"Ninja's dude," the tall brunette nodded
"No one, say's 'dude' anymore!" the blonde girl retaliated
The boy frowned "Yes, they do!" he argued
"No, they don't"
And they two walked away arguing
Cam sighed once more "Dad, I don't think I have it in me to go through all this again," he admitted
"Then maybe we should leave their training," Sensei responded "to the three new teachers" he nodded at Shane, Dustin and Tori who approached them, wearing Sensei outfits "A happy ending is nothing more than a new beginning. Besides, one should never break up a winning team"
Cam grinned as he turned to his friends, before looking up as Abby bounced into view "Yeah, well, what about me?" she asked "Im apart of the winning team too!"
Sensei chuckled at his niece as she grinned and spun around to hug her friends as the others grouped around them; congratulated one another on their new lives; after being finally able to move on from the Power Ranger legacy - At least for now. Who knew what the future had in store for them? Only time would tell.
Final Author's Note: I guess its finally over; but still the question remains: Does Abby have the pleasure of travelling onto Dino Thunder. I know I have asked you this already and most of you have already replied with 'Yes' you want to see her in Dino Thunder. But new problems have arisen and I feel the need to address the situation again. (Normally I would post a poll on my profile. But there is more than one question I need answering) so here is the problems.
If you wish to see Abigail in Dino Thunder, then answer me these few simple questions.
Should there be two White Ranger's on the team? (Abby and Trent could be the twin dangers of the Dino Team.)
Also
Which Dinosaur should represent Abby?
The Dimetrodon
or
The Mastodon
That is all. Thank you for your support throughout Ninja Storm: Their Darkest Hour and I hope you will help me through this small crisis and return when I post Dino Thunder in the Abby Series. Thank you for you co-opeartion. You people are amazing; I know I say that at the end of every story I post but I really do mean it. See you all next time.
Don't forget to review. Thank you.
