Carter woke up groggily in a small cell in Diabolicos castle thing. Lying next to him was Dana, she was unconscious. Sitting up slowly so he didn't aggravate his wounds to much Carter looked around, trying to remember what had happened.
A small moan alerted him that Dana was awake too.
"You ok Dana?" he asked softly, looking at her worridly. It was his fault she was in this mess. She had been protecting him and now Carter felt it his duty to look after her.
"I've been better" she replied slowly. Sitting up Dana turned to Carter. "You don't look crash hot either." She looked around, frightened. "Whats gonna happen to us do you think?"
Carter wasn't very surprised by the question, it had been the one he had been just about to ask Dana. Hundreds of nasty possibilities surged through his aching head. He was fairly certain of one thing though, after seeing what Diabolico had done to Ryan Carter had no doubts that he and Dana were not in for a good time.
"I don't know, but I'm not going to stick around to find out. Lets get outta here!" Although he still couldn't breathe easily due to at least one broken rib Carter began to walk around the tiny cell looking for a way out.
Dana stayed where she was, looking like she had abandoned all hope of ever getting out of there. She sat unmoving gazing sadly at the wall.
"Hey, Dana, there's a bit of rust on the hinge of the door. We might be able to knock it open!"
Dana was filled with hope, she stood up and walked over to Carter. Though they didn't have their morphers, Diabolico had taken them when they had first been captured, there was still the possibility that she and Carter could knock the door open.
Carter and Dana were about to attack the door when it opened and Diabolico walked through.
"Feeling better are we?" Diabolico asked in a sneering tone. He walked over towards Dana, " I was very disappointed when I heard that Disparon let your traitorous sibling escape, but he'll be back to save you. And then I will strike him down, and you will be my witness." Diabolico laughed evilly at the look of absolute horror on Dana's face.
"You'll never get to Ryan, he'll never fall into your trap!" Dana cried launching herself at Diabolico.
"You silly fool" Diabolico shouted, grabbing the foot she was trying to kick him with and throwing her across the room.
There was a cry of pain and Dana slumped down against the wall she had been thrown into. Diabolico took a step towards her, obviously meaning to do some more harm.
"Leave her alone!" Bellowed Carter leaping across the room and crashing into Diabolico before he could block it.
"You rangers are stupider than I thought. You let emotion rule over you, your anger at seeing a loved one get hurt causes you to lose all self control. It means that you will never defeat me!" Diabolico ranted as he swayed and regained his balance.
Carter ignored Diabolico and continued his attack, but he had lost the element of surprise and without his powers and his friends Carter was no match for Diabolico. It didn't take very long for him to be a small, bloody heap lying in the middle of the room.
Diabolico was laughing to himself as he left the room. Those foolish rangers he thought to himself, they are no match for me. And now that I have two I can put stage three of my plan into action.
Holding Captain Mitchell's darling daughter for ransom is the perfect plan. Captain Mitchell wouldn't sacrifice her and the red ranger, he'll hand over lightspeed rescue and I will finally give Mariner Bay to Queen Banshera!
Diabolico began to laugh even more loudly, and evilly.
When he had left Dana sat up, she had been to scared to move after he threw her across the room. Oh gosh the pain! Her body was aching all over.
"Carter?" Dana called softly. She had been to blinded by pain and fear to see what had happened after she hit the wall.
"Carter?" she called louder this time.
There was still no answer. A very worried Dana sat up and looked around trying to find Carter in the dark room. It didn't take very long, seeing as the cell was tiny.
Hurrying over Dana was horrified to find what state Carter was in. Blood was seeping from several wounds, he was barely breathing, probably from a few broken ribs.
Dana wanted to break down and cry, she was beginning to remember why Carter looked like this. It was because he had attacked Diabolico when he was trying to hurt her.
All these injuries were because of her, and there was nothing she could do.
Dana had never been this scared in her life. She didn't know what she would do if Carter didn't make it, if she never saw his handsome face again or never saw him laugh at some stupid joke. And it was all her fault.
Dana was surprised how strongly she felt about Carter, but then at the same time she wasn't surprised at all. Dana had felt this strongly about Carter since she had known him.
And now he might die because of her. Dana burst into tears, and sobbed into her arms.
She had been crying for about 10minutes when Carter suddenly stirred.
"Carter! CARTER!" She cried, excitement coursing through her. Her excitement was dampened somewhat when she approached him.
"Dana" Carter smiled groggily, then he turned serious, "Dana. you have. to get back to the aqua base"
She was shocked how badly hurt he was, just speaking was a huge effort. How could she leave him here?
"No, Carter I can't! You're badly hurt, I can't leave you here!"
"But you have to!" Carter sounded firm and serious, "lots of lives depend on it! Get back to the base and contact some of the other rangers, we're going to need help defeating Disparon!"
"But what about you? I can't leave you here. I." Dana floundered for a word to express what she was trying to say, why was it that she was so anxious to leave. But looking at Carters serious face Dana knew there was no way she could refuse him.
"Why don't I take you with me?" She was begging now, desperate not to leave him all alone and vulnerable.
"I'm to heavy, I'd slow you down. Now you have to go Dana! You can't waste any more time."
With a heavy heart Dana made her way to the door way and began to chisel away at the hinge.
It was about to give way when Carter called out again. "Dana, promise me that you won't try to rescue me until you defeat them. Don't risk anything trying to help me, it will get us in a worse spot."
"Carter, I can't!" Anguish filled Dana as she turned to face him. Leaving was bad enough, but promising to leave him here, and not rescue him until it was safe.He still hadn't moved from where he had fallen in his fight with Diabolico. Dana suspected Carter was just pushing off unconsciousness until she left. She couldn't leave him here when he was that badly hurt! But what he was saying was right. If she didn't escape who knows what Diabolico could do. And if she tried to rescue Carter later she could end up doing more harm than good. Dana knew she had to do the thing that was right for Mariner Bay even though her heart was shouting at her no to.
"Ok Carter, I promise. But you have to promise me you'll still be here when I come back." She spoke firmly, but sadly. She knew that there was little chance Carter would make it once Diabolico realised he had helped her to escape. Diabolico in his anger would probably beat the life out of anyone within a 20metre radius.
"I promise Dana. And Dana," Carter floundered then went on, "Dana, I, I, love you."
She gaped for a minute and then ran over to him. She couldn't do it. She just didn't have the courage to walk out the door and leave him to almost certain death!
"I love you too Carter, I can't leave you!"
They could hear footsteps approaching. They were slowly getting louder.
"Dana, GO! This is your last chance. I'll stall for you," his eyes shone as he nodded towards the door. She knew she had to go.
"I'll see you soon." Tears streaming down her face Dana pushed open the door and sprinted away down the corridor, leaving Carter lying on the floor. He breathed a huge sigh of relief. Now that Dana was safe Carter didn't need to worry about protecting her from Diabolico, with some of the fear removed from his heart he lapsed back into unconsciousness.
Dana was running as fast as she could down the corridor. She twisted and turned trying to find the way out. About five minutes after she left the cell a huge cry of anger and dismay filled the castle.
Diabolico knew she was missing; she had to get out of there now.
Quickly turning a corner Dana finally found the way out. She knocked out the two door guards and raced away, running until she reached Mariner Bay's outskirts. Then she hitched a ride to the aqua base.
Dana came flying into the briefing room at a dead run, the marks of tears were on her face along with bruises and some dried blood. She looked an absolute mess.
When she entered the command centre Chad was in the middle of explaining a plan he had to rescue the others,
"Dana!" they all cried in unison, "What happened?"
"There's no time to explain, Diabolico still had Carter and he's in really bad shape. W aren't going to be able to defeat them on our own, we need to contact some of the oher rangers!"
"Good idea!" Miss Fairweather agreed, "I'll see if I can get a message to the Galaxy Rangers on Mirinoi. They should be able to help us!"
"And you Dana," Captain Mitchell turned to her, "you need to go get yourself chaecked out in med bay, Ryan is in there too so you won't be all alone."
Dana was about to protest but she was interrupted by her father.
"Dana, you can ask questions and tell us what happened later. Now you need medical attention and rest."
"Yes sir" Dana made her way over to the med bay, when the doctor had finished checking over all her bruises she lay down and began to think about all the things that had happened today.
They had been captured and beaten up. Diabolico had threatened to kill Ryan in front of her. Carter had stopped Diabolico from beating her up. Carter had helped her escape. Carter had said he loved her.
His final words to her kept running through her mind, refusing to go away.
"I love you Dana"
With her thoughts racing Dana fell into an uneasy sleep, haunted by images of Diabolico, Disparon and Carter's handsome face bleeding and bruised.
