"Evie? Could you hand me the sodium penethol?"
Evie didn't even look up from her microscope and handed her sister the chemical.
"Thanks," Lindy said as she carefully added the liquid to the dish she was working in. It had been nearly two days since Andy and Kyle had freed some of the captives from Master Org and, keeping his promise, Xander had allowed them access to a small work area at Bio-Lab.
Their trip to the pond to obtain samples of the green substance Master Org originated from had been, thankfully, uneventful. They quickly got what they needed and had been in the lab ever since.
"Nothing's working," Evie said as she looked up for the first time in hours. "Every chemical combination we've tried hasn't done anything."
Lindy sighed as well and looked at her sister. "Well, there was that one solution we used."
"But it only weakened it a bit and then the sample grew even bigger." The Meyers girls both sat down on their respective stools and placed their heads in their hands in perfect synchronization.
"You guys really need to stop doing stuff like that," Brady said as he entered. He was used to his sisters' actions, but it sometimes freaked out people.
Both girls instantly lit up as they saw their little brother come in.
"Any luck?" he asked as he sipped a water bottle.
"No," Evie said. Lindy rose and walked over to one of the several dishes of failed experiments.
"This is the closest we've come, but nothing else really," Lindy said as she placed the sample on the table. "Where's everyone else?"
"Yeah, and why isn't Nicky with you? Aren't you two, like joined at the hip now?" Evie joked. Brady blushed a little.
"Well, our cousins have gone to the beach to 'regroup' as they put it, Nicky and Charlie went to the track, Kanoi went to check on his mom, Cody, Jack, and Sam took their mom home, Sky took her mom home, and Xander and Leo are still on the Animarium with Merrick. They said something about wanting to learn about what happened the last time they fought Master Org," he said as he peered over the specimen on the table.
"Brady be careful with that," Evie said.
"I will be," he said as he leaned over the dish. Before any of them could react, Brady teetered on the stool and fell. As if in slow motion, his water bottle flew into the air and landed on the table, spilling a good portion of the water bottle into the sample.
"You dumbass!" Lindy screamed as she attempted to save the sample.
"Oh shit! I'm really really sorry you guys!" Brady said quickly as he tried to help them as best he could.
"Out of the way," Evie said as she joined her sister.
Both girls stared at the specimen as Lindy placed it on the counter. "Brady, how could you be so-" Lindy began to yell before she felt Evie's hand on her arm.
"Oh my... guys...look," Evie whispered. Lindy and Brady both looked over her shoulder.
The Meyers children all stood in complete silence as they saw the specimen slowly begin to shrink. After a few moments it dissolved completely ending with a small flash of light.
"Did that just happen?" Brady asked. Lindy took the petry dish and placed it under the microscope.
"It's... it's completely gone," she said. "Brady... what was in that bottle?"
"Water," he replied.
"Where did you get it from?"
A small smirk lit up his face. "From the lake on the Animarium."
"That's it then," Lindy said. "This combination, along with that water can completely dissolve the toxins..."
"...meaning that we can weaken, possibly destroy Master Org," Evie finished for her. "Brady you're a genius!"
"I thought I was a dumbass," Brady said. Both sisters smacked his arms. "Ow!"
"Serves you right," Lindy said. "If we can figure out a way to fire this at him, then mix in the water, we can blast him with everything we've got."
"But we have two problems there," Brady said. "We still have the other Orgs to deal with, and it'll take an unbelievable amount of water to weaken him. It took almost half of my bottle to work on a specimen the size of a dime!"
Lindy picked up the discarded water bottle. "Then we only have one choice..."
"Are you completely out of your mind?" Leo asked his girldfriend. All the rangers had been gathered for an emergency meeting. Lindy had just dropped quite the shocker on them. "You want us to BRING him to the Animarium?"
"Where else can we possibly get enough of the water to make this work?" Lindy explained. "We can't exactly bring it down in a bucket brigade."
"What about you guys?" Xander said the to Ninja Rangers. "Owen, can't you control water?"
"Yes, but I've never tracked it that far. Even if Andy and Ethan help me, there's no way we can transport THAT much down to where he's going to be," Owen said.
"What about the solution you two came up with? How's that going to work?" Cody asked.
"Well, with Kanoi's help we've devised a way to turn it into a gas that can be enfused through our blasters," Lindy said. "Once we hit him with that, THEN Owen, Ethan, and Andy can blast him with the lake water, while the rest of us hit him with everything else we've got."
"With the Wild Zords behind us, he doesn't stand a chance," Xander said. "I spoke with Merrick today and he's assured me that the Zords will help destroy him once and for all."
Leo knew everyone had a valid point in this, and it was a good plan. He also had spoken with Merrick, and knew that Xander was correct in what he said. "Alright... I'm in." Lindy smiled at him and he returned in.
"So all we have to do now is take care of the other Orgs... the last time we checked there were three," Jake said.
Kanoi placed the device his mother had fninshed in the middle of the group. "My mother finished this... theoretically, it's supposed to short out high voltage security fences... it should work on whatever's holding the others."
"And as soon as they're out, you know they'll want in on this," Kyle said smiling.
"We can use as much power as we can get," Charlie said.
"Then let's get them out," Ethan said as he stood.
"I'm in," Sam said smiling. All the others stood as well and had similar responses.
Shayla, who had ben standing off to the side during all of this sighed. She had been scared at the thought of Master Org stepping foot on the Animarium again, but she trusted the people in front of her more than anything. A soft touch on her shoulder made her smile.
"They have a fine plan," Merrick said. "You chose well." Shayla smiled and placed her hand on his.
"I know, Merrick. I have faith in them."
They stepped out of the shadows and made their presense known. Lindy was about to go back into her plan, but Shayla stopped her gently. "I overheard you plan, and I give you all my approval. I know you will make me and your parents proud."
All the teens were either near tears or felt a great sense of responsblity at the Princess' kind words.
"We won't let you down Princess," Leo said. Lindy squeezed his hand. Shayla bowed her head and she and Merrick went to prepare for the oncoming assult.
"Alright, we have to get back to the lab and get everything set up," Evie said.
"And the rest of us will go get our parents," Owen said.
The collective rangers placed their hands together in the center of the circle before heading in their separate directions... the fate of the world in their hands...
HEY HEY! SORRY THAT TOOK SO LONG. ONLY A FEW MORE CHAPTERS TO GO, THEN I WILL BE POSTING MY LATEST IDEA... A TORI/BLAKE AND TRENT/KIRA STORY.
I HOPE YOU ALL ARE STILL WITH ME HERE! HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
