Chapter Eight: More Battles

Finally the three Rangers came to the warehouse area and pulled up near to where the monster was attacking. A handful of people were running away from the monster and battlings.

"Hey Firefly" Ryan called out as they climbed out of the car.

"Why don't we do this the easy way and you just leave Mariner Bay" Chad said.

"Because Queen Bansheera commands me to destroy every thing, and I want to find a little fire fighter." Firegra said, "Oh by the way how is the Red Ranger?"

"He'll be just fine, Ugly." Chris said stepping forward.

"Well, well, well don't you look so cute in your Lightspeed Jacket. Trying to fill the Red Ranger's shoes. This time I'll get it right and destroy the three of you." Firegra said. Chris's eyes narrowed to slits at the monster.

"You set up a trap to get the Red Ranger, not the Pink Ranger." She said through clenched teeth.

"Aren't you a quick one, either way I got a Ranger." The creature replied laughing. Ryan and Chad narrowed their eyes at the monster's revelation.

"You're going to pay for what you did to my friend" Chris hissed. Ryan cast a side ways glance at her and so did Chad. Suddenly Battlings were all over the place and attacked the three Rangers. As the Battlings charged the Rangers, Chris knocked several off their feet, and then went after several more. Chad and Ryan held their own as the Battlings kept coming.

"There's no end to them." Chad said as he kicked away a few more.

"They're trying to force the others to come." Ryan said as he knocked away more Battlings. For ever one they defeated four more took its place.

"Time to Morph" Chris said. Ryan and Chad maneuvered beside Chris and nodded in agreement.

"Lightspeed…Rescue." Chris and Chad said in unison.

"Titanium Power!" Ryan called out. The three were swallowed in a bright flash of light and once it died down they were covered in their spandex armor. Chris felt the rush of power that came with morphing, though it wasn't as strong as other powers Chris had held it was still strong yet had some kind of yearning.

"Incredible" Chris said looking at the suite.

"Yah, now let's kick some butt" Chad said. The three easily disposed of the Battlings leaving the monster for them to deal with. Chris pulled out her blaster and hit the monster several times before it could launch an attack on any of them.

"Hey Ugly catch me if you can." Chris said as she ran towards the Rover. Chad and Ryan exchanged looks then joined her in the Hummer. Chris started the engine and took off.

"I just hope he tries." Chris muttered under her breath.

"Oh yeah he's trying" Chad said, "Can you move this a little faster?"

Chris checked the mirror and the monster was flying right behind them. Chris pressed the gas petal just a little more.

/"Dana, Kelsey, Joel be ready we're on our way."/ Chris said into her morpher.

/"Got it we're waiting."/ Joel said. Chris drove while trying to control her anger, her hands tightly gripped the wheel as they continued being chased. Ryan looked at her trying to get what she had said. She called Carter her friend, and seemed very upset at what had happened to him. He wondered if she really knew Carter or just was hoping to be friends.

After a while the Rangers finally make it to the rendezvous point with the others. Chris parked the Humvee and the three went to join Dana, Joel and Kelsey.

"He's on his way." Chris said

"Yeah Chris made him mad" Chad said.

"Hey it worked didn't it." Chris said in response. The others just shook their head, as the monster showed up with Battlings. Quickly the Rangers disposed of the Battlings and then we head to head with monster.

"You're going down Ugly." Joel said.

"Bring it on Rangers." Firegra responded.

"This is the part where we bring out the Rescue Bird" Kelsey said. Nodding Chris stepped forward and took a deep breath.

"Rescue Bird" Chris said as she activated her communicator to call the weapon. "Unilaser Mode." The rescue bird came to its call as it flew it transformed in to the Unilaser. It flew to Chris who caught it and Chad, Joel, Dana, and Kelsey gather around her to prepare for the attack.

"Ready…" Chris said and Dana placed her hand on Chris's left shoulder and Joel put his hand on Dana's left shoulder. While Kelsey put her hand on Chris's right shoulder and Chad placed his hand on Kelsey's shoulder.

"Aim…"Chris said as they all took a strong stance.

"FIRE" Chris said squeezing the trigger that released an energy blast that destroyed Firegra.

"Cool" Chris said after wards.

"Nice job." Joel said.

"Thanks." Chris said as Jinxer showed up and used a growth card on the monster.

"Firegra, Firegra how could you let a fire fighter defeat ya. Grow now more powerful than before and destroy the Ranger will ya." Jinxer's spell caused the monster to grow huge and he started for the city.

"Time for the Zords, right" Chris said and the others nodded and activated her communicator. "Rail Rescues on track."

The five train cars came out and joined together, quickly they arrived and Rangers went aboard activating them. Chris slid the trigger end of her blaster on to the Zord control unit.

"Pyro Rescue One."

"Aqua Rescue Two"

"Aero Rescue Three"

"Haz Rescue Four"

"Med Rescue Five"

"Max Solar Zord" Ryan called taking off.

"Alright Joel you've got some extinguisher in your Zord right?" Chris said before Captain Mitchell could break in.

"Yeah, why puttin' it on him isn't going to do much good." Joel said.

"No but it will distract him" Chris responded.

"No a bad idea." Chad said.

"First though lets form the bottom half of the Lightspeed Megazord." Chris said as she moved her zord out of the way of an attack. Using the Magnetic Clamps of the Aero Rescue Zord Joel lifted Chad's Zord off the ground as the Haz Rescue and Med Rescue Zord moved to form the feet. This caught Firegra's attention and started for the Rangers.

"Joel now would be an excellent time." Chris said as he started for her Zord, placing the zord in reverse Chris backed away from the monster trying not give him the chance to step on her Zord. Suddenly Ryan was there in the Max Solar Zord and attacking the monster. Only issue was that his Zord was kind of Smaller than the Monster. Joel dumped the entire load of fire extinguisher on the monster as Chris used the latter arms to move the Pyro Zord into position as the body and arms. Joel then laded the Aero Rescue in position finishing the Megazord. The Lightspeed Megazord went to the defense of the Solar Zord quickly. A fierce battle ensued between the three giants. Never once did an attack phase her though her head was rattling with every hit that landed the zord.

"Okay it's time to end this" Chris said, "Lightspeed Saber"

After the sword finished materializing the Megazord lifted it up and slashed the monster efficiently destroying it. The monster fell backwards and exploded leaving nothing behind. Chris noted the split card on the ground and the black crystal.

Inside the Aqua Base there were cheers as the monster exploded on their monitors.
