SUMMARY: The rangers set off to confront Stinger, a new monster sent by
Olympus. Although, his assignment isn't to destroy Mariner Bay, but to use
his poisoned sting on one of the city's protectors (you have to read to see
who it'll be).

A few minutes before.
At the Skull Cavern, Olympus was watching Carter and Dana at the park. Vypra and Loki were beside him.
"What a nice picture" said the prince "The red and pink rangers totally alone".
"Hugh, I think I'm gonna get sick" Loki interfered "That's disgusting"
"No my dear Loki, it is the opposite. It is absolutely perfect!"
"What do you mean, prince Olympus" Vypra asked.
"The red ranger has ruined most of my plans and I am through with this. He is going to pay a great price for that! And I know just what to do. I believe that the only way to really destroy him, once and for all, is to harm someone close to him. That way he will be torn apart on the inside, which will make weak and easy to eliminate."
"The pink ranger" Vypra finally concluded "She is very important to him. Do you intend to use her as bate?"
"Yes, I do and I already know which monster is perfect for this. Stinger!"
At the same instant, a big and strong monster appeared in the room. He had the appearance of a giant insect, he was green, black, gray and yellow, a bizarre mix between a bee, a spider and a scorpion.
"I'm here my lord" the creature answered.
"Stinger, I have an assignment for you and a very important one" Olympus said as the monster approached him. "I want you to go and attack the city. But when the rangers arrive, I need you to get rid of the others and use you poisoned sting on the pink ranger. Only on the pink ranger."
"As you wish, my prince" he suddenly disappeared.
"With his loved one on the edge of death, the red ranger will become weak and easy to destroy. Now I can feel it, I'll have my revenge!"

When Carter and Dana arrived at the place of the attack, Chad, Kelsey and Joel were already there. Quickly, the two morphed and went to help their friends. Dana assisted Kelsey, who had just been hit and were lying on the ground. Carter called out Chad and Joel and the five of them regrouped.
"Well, look who decided to show up." Stinger said with a certain ton of sarcasm.
"Who are you?" Carter asked.
"My name is Stinger and I was sent here to destroy you".
"Sorry, but we won't let you" the red answered. "Come on, guys!"
All five rangers attacked the monster one at a time. Chad went first and was quickly defeated. Kelsey and Joel struck after him and ended up the same way the blue ranger did. The three got injured seriously and were unable to go on with the battle.
"Man, he's strong" Joel confessed with last shred of strength that was left on his body.
Carter was stunt with how fast Stinger defeated his team mates. But he wasn't going to give up. He went towards his enemy, determined to finish him. Stinger was faster than him. The creature blocked every single move that Carter did and used them to hit him harder and harder, until the red couldn't take it anymore. He fell down, completely exhausted and hurt.
"See, rangers! I'm much powerful than you. There's no point on continuing with this." Stinger tried to convince them.
"You forgot about me!" Dana approached and suddenly struck him from behind.
"No, I did not. I was saving the best for you!" Stinger started fighting the pink ranger, only to get her away from the others. He kept her busy, waiting for the right moment to fulfill his master's command. Dana had no other choice but to fight back.
As the battle continued, Carter decided to call upon the Rescue Bird. The weapon soon arrived as Carter struggled to stand up. He was so concentrated to do so that, when he finally prepared it to fire, he realized Stinger had also defeated Dana and was firmly holding her, through her right arm and her neck.
"Are you going to shoot me, ranger?" Carter suddenly froze. How could he shoot him with Dana standing right in front?
"If you shoot me, she'll die before the shot gets here" The monster teased the red.
The other rangers were still on the grown. They were also worried at Dana.
"Carter, don't listen to him" Kelsey cried out.
"I can't! I'll hit Dana!" Carter replied. He'd never felt so afraid and nervous at the same time before in his life. Stinger was right in front of him and he couldn't do a thing, because he was using Dana as a shield.
"No. I can't. I won't shoot him" He let go of the Rescue Bird, feeling very bad about his decision.
"Good choice, ranger. But unfortunately, it was the wrong one" Stinger's hand changed into some sort of a small needle and struck Dana on the right side of her hip. It was the poisoned sting.
"No!!!!!" Carter felt like someone had smashed his heart. He became desperate.
As Dana fell down, Stinger quickly turned around and vanished. When she hit the ground, she de-morphed. Carter ran towards her, alongside the other three. They also de-morphed. Carter took Dana in his arms, seeing if there was any answer.
"Dana! Come on, Dana. Talk to me, please. Please!"
The pink ranger opened her eyes as much as she could. She was glad to see Carter's face. "Carter. I'm sorry."
"No. No, Dana. It's not you fault. Please, stay with me. Be strong, okay."
Dana gave him a little smirk and then closed her eyes. She'd fainted.
Carter's blue eyes had some tears on them. Kelsey tried to put her hand on his shoulder, to comfort him, but he moved away, taking Dana in his arms and getting up.
"Quick! We have to take her back to the Aquabase." Carter walked away, heading for rover. Chad, Kelsey and Joel followed him, worried about what would happen to Dana.
