Disclaimer: I own Bronchonaut...and Laura and Leila but that's it.
CHAPTER 25 New Powers
The girls, still in pain, stared in disgust and awe at the figure before them. Leila was horrified. Never in her life had she felt so much evil radiate from one....thing. Even when she realized her father was part of Mesagog or even when she stared Lothor down in the attack at the Thunder Academy before she was captured. This evil wanted all of the ranger powers, but most of all, he wanted hers. Bronchonaut looked over at Kira and Tori, then turned his attention to Leila. Leila attempted to get up as he approached her. When she was halfway up, he grabbed her by her hair and pulled her all the way up and back.
"AH!" Leila cried in pain. Bronchonaut stared her straight in the eye and growled at her. Kira and Tori were scared for their friend and attempted to get up to help but the pain they felt was unbearable.
"Based on color, I assume YOU are the Thundersaurus ranger," he growled at her. Even in this time of great fear and stress, Leila held her cool so Bronchonaut would not think he had gained the upperhand.
"Hm, an evil villain who is actually a little on the smart side. That's actually a refreshing change," she snapped at him sarcastically. Bronchonaut pulled Leila back further, making her feel as if all of her thick locks were coming out.
"Ah!" she cried as tears formed in her eyes from this new pain as well as the pain she still felt.
"I'm not interested in your sarcasm little girl. Hand over your powers willingly, and I will let you go. Keep up the sarcasm and it will be a different story," Bronchonaut hissed at her. Tori and Kira were still struggling to get to Leila.
"What are we going to do? The guys wouldn't get here in time to help," Kira said.
"As cheesy as this sounds, we need a miracle," Tori said, grabbing her abdomen in pain. Bronchonaut began shaking Leila to get her to give up her powers. As the pain surged through her, Leila felt something else begin to grow in her. Something that seemed familiar but brand new as well.
'Where have I felt this before?' she asked herself as Bronchonaut began kicking her around. She rolled on the ground and tried to recover from the pain but did not do so before Bronchonaut kicked her again. The familiar feeling kept growing inside of Leila until she felt it reach almost its full strength. Bronchonaut again grabbed Leila by the hair and pulled on it until Leila got to her knees and was looking him in the face.
"Well, what's it going to be...huh?" he asked before looking Leila directly in the eyes. They were illuminated with a strong gold light.
"HA!!" Leila cried, her new power giving her the strength to send him backwards. She got up as Bronchonaut recovered from shock. Leila ripped off her street clothes and revealed her Thunder Academy uniform. She went into a series of hand motions.
"POWER OF THE MONSOON!!!" she cried before pushing her hands towards Bornchonaut. Wind, earth, thunder, lighting, and especially water all went flying towards Bronchonaut. It blasted at him like a geyser. When it died, the girls saw that he had disappeared. Leila took special note that Elsa was no where in sight before she felt her powers die down. She looked at her friends before collapsing.
"What was that?" Tori asked.
"She has dino and storm powers, remember?" Kira replied before finally getting to her feet. Tori followed suit and the girls ran towards Leila, helping her up.
"Let's get her back to Dr. O's," Kira said. The girls made their way, attempting to let Tori ninja streak them at first. Tori's weakened state did not get them the whole journey but did get them close enough where they could walk. The guys immediately took the girls downstairs, allowing Cam and Tommy to take care of Leila while they helped bandage up the girls. Some of their injuries were in places that the girls were a little embarrassed about, even in front of their boyfriends, so Hayley was called in to help. She set up a curtain and helped bandage up the girls so they could get treatment and talk to Dr. Oliver at the same time.
"He had a Brontosaurus head?" Cam asked again.
"Ow, yes, for the tenth time. I have a feeling he already knew Leila was the Gold Thundersaurus ranger before he came here," Tori said.
"Yes, but Leila did not seem to have a problem with him once she started fighting with her storm powers," Kira said.
"I don't get it. Since when do Thunder Ninjas know a monsoon attack?" Blake asked.
"Since when do most Thunder Ninjas get powers from the 'Thunder Box'?" Hunter pointed out.
"Is she going to be all right?" Shane asked. Dr. Oliver finished a medical scan.
"She's pretty banged up but I think the only reason she's unconscious is from exhaustion. She got beat up pretty badly and she exerted a lot of power. That could wipe anybody out. She should be fine with some rest," Dr. Oliver said.
"How's everything in there Hayley?" Devin asked.
"OW!!" the guys heard from Kira and Tori. A small bit of the curtain opened and Hayley stuck her head out.
"It's fine, just give me a few more minutes," Hayley said before going back into the section. The guys heard Trent come down the stairway.
"Did you get a hold of your dad?" Cam asked.
"Yea, he was pretty worried and wanted to leave but I told him you guys were taking care of her. He'll probably stop by when he's finished at work," Trent said.
"Are you guys going to tell Sensei Omano?" Dustin asked of Hunter and Blake. The Thunder brothers sighed.
"Don't know. He'll probably expect for her powers to grow. I'm not sure what would be news to him," Hunter commented.
"So just how exactly was she chosen to receive these powers anyway?" Conner asked.
"It's a destiny thing, man, like they told you," Ethan explained.
"It also has to do with the fact that destiny knew that her parents would both have direct connections to power rangers teams. Her mom was partially responsible for our Thunder morphers for the storm team and her dad helped create the technology that created the Dino Morphers and helped make the dino morphers NECESSARY," Hunter explained.
"Not that we're blaming him anymore," Blake pointed out.
"It's okay guys," Trent said, knowing he meant him.
"So how exactly are we supposed to deal with this new threat?" Devin asked.
"Did you girls notice anything useful during the fight?" Cam asked. The curtain opened and Tori and Kira walked out, adjusting their shirts.
"Only that he SEEMED willing to let Leila go if she gave up her powers willingly but that was probably a trick," Tori pointed out.
"Yea, but Leila seemed to develop her power under the stress of getting kicked around. Does it always happen like that?" she asked.
"Probably depends on the person, right guys?" Cam asked of Blake and Hunter.
"I think in this case, her powers know when to show up. Or, subconsciously, she knows when she needs to show her powers," Blake said.
"I just hope we can use the right ones to finish Bronchonaut," Shane said. The other rangers looked at each other, wondering what hope there was. They let Leila rest for the night and went on their respective paths for the hours they were needed. While Leila lay resting, the fight replayed in her head as well as the feeling of the powers growing. The powers that grew, there was so much energy behind it. Little did Leila know that she was subconsciously formulating a plan in her mind.
What is the plan? What more powers will Leila develop? What other surprises are in store in this adventure? Please R&R!
Author's Note: Sorry for the delay guys. I will TRY to have two chapters up tomorrow. Enjoy. PS. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! –Storm2003
