Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue It's a Beautiful Day Chapter Five-

Summary- Um, read it.

Other Stuff- Thanks for the reviews. Someone wanted Dana to get captured, I'll see what I can do. Also, someone wanted this to be a Dana Carter fic. I have no idea how to write that, but what the heck? If I really screw this up, I apologise.

Dana and her search party returned to the Aqua Base with after finding no trace of Ryan. She was annoyed at herself for not finding anything. Her big brother was out there somewhere, in trouble, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Dana hated feeling helpless.

She made her way to the briefing room, so she could inform her dad of the situation. None of the other rangers had returned yet, Dana hoped they had had better luck finding Ryan.

Entering the briefing room Dana snapped off a salute and then turned to talk to her father.

"I couldn't find any traces of Ryan at the park sir"

Captain Mitchell's reaction was the complete opposite of what Dana thought it would be.

He smiled.

"That's ok Dana. Ryan's signal was picked up about half an hour ago. Carter went to check it out."

"Carter? Does he have back-up, is he ok?" Dana burst out before she could stop herself. She mentally kicked herself. Why was she so worried about Carter? He would be fine. It wasn't like h was in danger checking a simple lead.

Dana was pulled out of her thoughts by the sound of Carter's voice, she looked up, wondering why he was back so early.

But it was only the video screen that Captain Mitchell had turned on.

Dana was about to excuse herself when.

HOLD THE PHONE! Bat things were after Carter!

Carter was giving Captain Mitchell a report on the lead when he felt himself being grabbed from behind.

Turning slightly he realised it was a bat thing. There were about 30 of them attacking him.

Carter freed himself from their grip and began to attack them. He was surrounded now, and badly out numbered.

This isn't good he thought to himself as he was hit by yet another kick from one of the bat things.

Ouch, I can't hold on here much longer.

Thud, back up would be good here thought Carter as he continued to fight.

He could vaguely hear Captain Mitchell telling him something in the headset, but he couldn't be bothered to listen, he was to busy fighting. Carter wasn't gonna let these things beat him. If there were bat things here, maybe Ryan was too.

Carter owed it to Ryan to keep fighting.

He just wasn't sure how much longer he could do it.

Ryan watched the fights progress, horrified.

Carter was alone and out numbered and failing fast. He seriously could use some help. But Ryan was all tied up.

Disparon was loving every minute of it.

Laughing he turned to Ryan, you'll have company soon enough, my friend. With that he set off towards the fight. Obviously meaning to capture Carter.

Ryan groaned. Without Carter the rangers stood very little chance. He was their leader, they all looked up to him.

Especially Dana thought Ryan, rather amused. But this wasn't really the time to think about his sisters love life. He had to get out of there, and help Carter.

Dana watched in horror as bat things grabbed Carter.

"Carter!" she squealed as he turned to fight them.

He has no chance thought Dana, unless he gets some back up.

She turned to her father, "Sir, I'm going to help him." There was a firmness in her voice that booked no arguing.

Her father looked at her sternly then waved towards the door.

"Be careful," he warned as she sprinted out to find her lightspeed cycle.

Dana jumped on the cycle, willing it to go faster as she sped through town.

She had to be there in time, she just had to! Dana spun around a corner to arrive at the warehouse where Carter was.

The sight before her eyes made her gasp in horror.

Carter was on the ground, un-morphed. He wasn't moving.

Dana just stood and stared. Carter wasn't moving. This could mean one of three things, he was in pain and couldn't, he was un-conscious and couldn't or he was.

Dana didn't want to think about that possibility. This was Carter, it wasn't a possibility she told herself sternly.

He was going to be ok. But there were bat things heading towards him. He wouldn't be ok if she didn't do something soon.

Leaping in front of Carter, Dana started to take out as many bat things as she could. There weren't too many left, Carter had done a good job.

Fairly soon Dana had disposed of all the bat things, she turned and ran back towards Carter.

Dropping to her knees Dana looked at him. She could have laughed out loud in relief. Carter was alive, his eyes were open, and he was giving her a tired smile.

"Thankyou" he murmured in a thick voice. He didn't sound very well. She had to get him to a doctor.

"C'mon, lets get outta here." She said gently, trying to help him up. "where's your cycle? It has a sidecar you can ride in."

"No" Carter tried to shake his head but couldn't because of the pain.

"You need to find Ryan. I followed his signal here. He has to around here somewhere. Give me a minute and I'll be on my feet."

"Oh no you don't" said Dana hurriedly. "Here's the plan. I'll go find Ryan, you stay here. The other rangers should be here soon."

Carter smiled in agreement.

Dana set off towards the warehouse. She wasn't happy about leaving Carter, but he was determined to find Ryan. She didn't want him to hurt himself, trying to help if there was trouble.

"Ryan?" Dana called softly, she was hoping he was here. In one piece, having escaped from Diabolico. It was highly unlikely though.

Dana's mind was coming up with all sorts of unpleasant scenario's as she crept through the warehouse searching for Ryan.

She certainly didn't expect what she found though.

She could only stare at him for a moment. That couldn't be her brother. He was multi-coloured. Bruises had appeared all over him, he looked like he had been covered in different types of paint.

Dana was horrified. Poor Ryan! She thought. Oh well, this was her chance to save him.

Ryan was tied up, with two bat things guarding him in the far corner of the warehouse. A small t.v was set up nearby, but it was turned off.

Thinking quickly Dana came up behind the bat things and took them both out with a few sharp kicks.

"Dana!" cried Ryan, sounding surprised. But he didn't look that happy to see her.

"Ryan? Are you ok? Lets get out of here. Carter's hurt, we need to get him and you back to base. You need a doctor!" She tugged on his arm to get him to stand up. But Ryan appeared to be to mortified to speak.

"Carters hurt? Is he demorphed?" Dana nodded slowly, wondering why Ryan was asking and not standing up.

"Dana you gotta help him!" the conviction in his voice startled her. "Disparon is going to try and capture Carter too. He said that he had a plan that would be the fall of Mariner Bay."

Dana took a step back. Carter was all alone outside, barely able to wave off unconsciousness.

And she had left him there!

"What do we do?" she asked, was there still time to save Carter? Or had Disparon already grabbed him?

"You go call for help" said Ryan getting to his feet, "and I'll go help Carter."

"No way Ryan" Dana wasn't going to give in that easily. " Ryan, you're hurt, you need rest, you call for help, I'll help Carter."

Ryan wasn't going to let her go by herself.

"Compromise?" Ryan suggested. They were both stubborn, and if they kept arguing Carter had no chance. " We both go."

Dana nodded and they raced back to the front of the warehouse.
