They had all been a coma a little over two mouths, nothing had changed. Korone had not left the side of her brother and her friends, for many weeks. Mike and the other watched outside from a window, feeling helpless to do anything, for their friends.
"There has to be something we can do. I just can't stand around waiting, not being able to do anything," said Mya sadly. Mike put his head down, mouths ago Leo had asked to leave here and head to Earth. Leo turned his head looking over at his brother with the same agony he had those mouths ago.
"Mike please let us go. I promise will come back, but please no more waiting," pleaded Leo through his anger, fear and agony. The others all turned looking at Mike, pleading with him. In a way he was like a big brother to them all. Mike took a deep breath as much as he hated it he knew Leo was right, it was time for them to do their part. There was nothing more they could do for their space ranger friends.
"Alright, but be careful," said Mike as he looked up at all of them. Nothing was said between them after that, all that was done was a few nods and a prompt smile. Mike watched as his little brother and his friends left the hospital, knowing that this could be the last time he would ever see them alive. Mike look back in the window, seeing Andros and the others lying so still with Korone grieving and watching over them. "Please let there be a way, to fix all of this," said Mike.
Deep in space a ship was slowly moving towards a small greenish planet. The ship then entered the planet that was covered with bodies of water tress and mountains. There was no sign of human life or any inhabitants at all, as if nothing had ever been on this planet before. The ship then landed smoothly on the ground, the engine turned off. Once the engine was off the hatch opened and a body of a young man fell out. He lay limp on the ground, breathing softly as though he had been asleep for quite some time now. He made soft moans and groans "Crystal…..light….ehhh," He then drifted into s sound sleep.
Angela began typing in the computers controls quickly. The room was dark and cold. Ryan was over her shoulder, watching her and every so often he would look around making sure the coast was clear. In the front instance of the room, Joel was standing watching he was breathing deeply and looked to be shaking in his boots. He had his blaster in his hands ready if he needed to use it. He looked left and right down each entrance of the halls. He could hear nothing and that's what scared him the most.
"Would you guys hurry us," whispered Joel looking over his shoulder over at the two.
"Keep it down Joel, or they'll hear us," yelled Ryan softly looking over at Joel.
"Both of you keep it down," yelled Angela softly. Ryan turned back his head looking at the screen. They were analyzing a piece of medal from one of the CellBorgs trying to find it's weakness if it had one. Angela began scanning fragment after fragment, but the machine was working too slow it was almost frozen. Ryan grabbed his blaster and set it on low.
"Here," he said handing it to her. Angela took it from his hands began to use the blaster to melt away the ice. It took some time, but the ice began to melt away. A diagram appeared on the screen, both Ryan and Angela smiled it was working.
Joel was still on look out. He took off his hat and scratched his head. "Man, why do I always have to be look out," he asked himself as he put his hat back on. He then heard a rumble. Joel jumped and turned to his right. He had his blaster pointed out, he took a deep breath. He saw a shadow begin to approach him. "Ah….g….u…y..ss." Joel began shaking to death.
Ryan and Angela were waiting as the diagram and scan chart began to print out. Ryan let out a deep breath as the printer spit out the paper, it was time to get out of here. He put his hand on her shoulder. "Let's get out of here," he said. Angela nodded her head. There was no telling where those CellBorgs could be. The two began to head over to Joel.
Joel waited as the shadow appeared him. "I got you, you metal piece of…." A loud screech sound was heard. "CAT?" said Joel looking at the cat who about jumped him.
Angela placed her hand on Joel shoulder, "Joel"
"Ahhh" Joel jumped a few feet in the air. He turned around to see his wife and Ryan standing there looking at him with big smiles. "Yeah, you're laughing now, but just wait till something big and furry try's to jump you," muttered Joel. Ryan laughed lightly.
"I don't think a cat counts as something big and furry," said Ryan. Joel just gave a dirty look to Ryan for his remark. Angela just shook her head they had to get out of here. The light speed base of operations was no longer a safe place to be.
"Come on you two, we don't have time for this," she said sternly looking at the two.
In the basement of the firehouse station, Chad, Kelsey, Dana, Carter and Captain Mitchell sat around on the furniture waiting for their friends to return. The only light they had was a few lights that hadn't burnt out hanging from the ceiling. Dana and Carter sat close together arms around each other trying to keep warm. The lack of sun had taken its toll on the planet.
Both Chad and Kelsey had fallen asleep in their chairs, theses days they slept when ever they had the chance. The rest of the time they were battling CellBorgs. Captain Mitchell was walking around his hands behind his back. He had a grim look on his face. He looked at the photos on the walls; many of them were of firemen and women. He stopped when he came across the photo of him, Carter and Ryan it was taken when Ryan became full member firefighter. The photo had been taken at light speed HQ. Mitchell continued to stare at the photo as the memory of the day he had lost base of operation played over in his mind.
The light speed rangers were having a battle of their lives in their own home base. There were CellBrogs all over the place, the rangers held them back as best they could so that the workers could get outside to safety. Carter ran up to one grabbing a hold of his arm pointing it up to the ceiling. The CellBorg blasted up at the ceiling, making a hole in the ceiling, pieces of the ceiling crumbled to the ground. The CellBorg then threw Carter off of him, smashing him against a wall. Carter made a loud cry, Ryan and Dana ran to his side helping their leader up.
"Are you alright?" asked Dana.
"Easy buddy," said Ryan. The three watched as Joel, Chad and Kelsey fought against the metal beast. They watched as their friends took blast and kicks several times over.
"This can't be happing," said Dana softly. Chad, Kelsey and Joel were flying at the three landing hard to the ground in front of their feet. The three slowly got to their feet, they looked to be limping. The rangers watched in fear as the CellBorg army moved closer to them. Carter put his head down he knew they had no choice.
"Retreat, we have to retreat," said Carter feeling ashamed, but knew if they didn't get out of their now. They would all die, and all hopes of winning would come to an end. The ranger all took one last look at the army and flied off.
The rangers ran out side to be meant with Captain Mitchell and Angela. The two off them looked stunned to see the ranger, and then a powerful blast hit right where they were standing. The blast forced all of them feet away from their base of operation, a place which they once felt safe in was no longer theirs.
"Their back," said Dana. Mitchell shook his head and turned around to see Ryan, Joel and Angela running down the stairs. He was glad to see them all safe and sound.
They were all gather around a table as Mitchell and Angela looked over what the scan read. The rangers watched for signs of good news but found none. Mitchell put his head down. He slammed his fist against the table the scanner had found nothing which would show any kind of weakness. Mitchell turned his back towards the rangers he was upset that there was nothing he could do, nothing seemed to be working.
"I take it the scanner didn't help much," said Kelsey already knowing the answer. Angela looked up from the paper looking at them with a sad and disappointed look.
"No, it doesn't," she sighed putting her head down. Joel who was sitting next to her put his arm around her shoulder.
"Don't worry hun, will figure something out," said Joel kindly. The light above them began to flicker, and then it went out.
"As if things couldn't get worse, we keep losing more lights," muttered Chad. A second later, Angela lifted her head up. She then began to get this look in her eyes as if a light bulb had gone on. Captain Mitchell had turned back around looking back at the rangers. Angela looked over to Chad who looked as though he hadn't said anything important.
"Chad what did you just say?" she asked. Everyone looked at her oddly. Where was she going with this? Chad looked to have no clue to what he said of any value.
"Something about things couldn't get worse," he said.
"No after that," she said. Chad blinked his eyes a few time not seeing the point of this conversation.
"Ah um the lights going out," he said, he sort of nodded his head not quite getting where this was leading to.
A smile came across Angela's face. "That's it, I don't know why I didn't see it before," said Angela getting up from her seat walking back and fourth. The rangers all looked at each other clueless they all got up from their seats along with Mithcell.
"What's is it?" asked Carter.
"Carter, you remember when you and Ryan first got attacked by the CellBorg?" asked Angela. Carter looked over at Ryan and then back to her. He nodded his head, but didn't understand a thing she was headed at, along with everyone else. "The only way you two were able to beat it was, once Dana and Joel showed up in the truck," she said smiling at them. The rangers all looked at each other oddly. What the heck did that have to do with anything? Captain Mitchell looked as though he kind of knew where this was headed. "Guys….the light," said Angela not believing how dense all of them were.
Carter and Ryan looked as each other, the memory of that battle flashed over in their minds. Only when Joel and Dana showed up in the truck with the headlights on were they able to defeat the CellBorg. Something about the light blocked all of its senses. "It all makes sense now," Ryan turned looked over at Joel and Dana. "We were only able to make a move on the CellBorg when you guys showed up with the truck, blinding it with the headlights," said Ryan everything was beginning to make sense.
"That must be the reason they took away the sun. They can't survive with it," said Kelsey. The ranger all looked at each other smiling that had to be the weakness of the CellBorgs. It was the only thing that made any sense, and that was a lot better then having nothing.
"Well ranger's looks like we need to gather up sources of light," said Captain Mitchell. The rangers all turned looking at the captain nodding their heads. The next time they would face of with the CellBorgs they would be ready and prepared.
