Mathais: *nods*
Lina: What's on the schedule for today?
Mathais: *shrugs*
Adriana: Can't you speak?
Mathais: *holds a sign up saying: 'Don't wanna'*
Adriana: *rolls eyes*
Justin: Mathais wants to thank everyone for his or her reviews.
Alex: He doesn't own Power Rangers; so don't even think about it.
Lina: On with the fic!
* * * * * * *
Dear Journal,
New Moon out... This day will be bad. At least I know that the Elementalists won't attack, as they are under the same condition as us. And especially after yesterday's battle with Anti-Crestmon. The Humanist Megazord is cool, but it's hard to control and it takes a lot out of me. Not that I'd tell my team, of course. But still, they have the Astro Rangers under their control. We'll have to wing it. It's only been a day and they need more than that to recuperate after a battle. Well, it's time to go.
~Justin
Justin finished writing in his journal as he grabbed an orange jacket.
"Hey Justin!" A female's voice shouted from outside the window.
"Coming!" Justin raced down the stairs and slammed his blades and gear on in record time. Hopping the last few steps of his house, he shouted back. "I'm leaving dad!"
Dean nodded. "Alright!"
Justin raced away on his blades, three others not far behind.
"We're heading to Jace and Alex's place, right?" Justin asked as his pace slowed.
"Right." Lina nodded from atop her bike.
"I still don't see how you balance on those things." Adriana eyed Justin's feet as she went along using her scooter.
"It's just like ice skating." Cassy commented as she too bladed.
"I'll never understand." Adriana shook her head.
"Brake right." Lina said as they took a right turn into an alleyway.
"What's up Lina?" Justin asked. He soon found out as six figures walked by.
"So, we're going to attack them today, right?" Lisa asked.
"Yep." The one in red, Jake, confirmed.
"Except our new recruits, the Astros, are going to do this." Lan, the one in blue, added.
"Aren't we being a little cheap?" Christina, the girl in indigo, cocked her head to the side.
"There is nothing more fulfilling than destroying our enemies." Kyle in green growled.
"Still, I want a fair fight. And we won't be able to attack today, unless we want our asses whooped." The last girl in pink, Amanda, said. The six soon were out of earshot.
"Interesting." Cassy murmured.
Lina raised an eyebrow as she brought her bike out to the street. "You think?"
"If we can be Light Elementalists, why can't they be the Dark Elementalists?" Justin replied softly.
"But them?" Adriana's lip quivered. "Despite what they've done to us... They were part of our group years ago."
Justin turned in surprise. "You eleven were a group?"
"We twelve actually." Cassy added. "We had one last person, a boy named Jason Quin, but he left over five years ago."
"Am I just a replacement for Jason?" Justin's eyed teared.
"No. You're our best friend. Jason's in the past." Adriana laid an arm around Justin shoulders.
"I needed that." Justin smiled as they went along.
"Should we tell Jace and Alex what we think?" Cassy asked.
The three girls looked to Justin.
"We should." Justin nodded, rather hesitantly. "They have a right to know."
The four went on in silence, until the soft beat of music assaulted their ears. A smile spread across Lina's face as Alex came into view, feet moving in a dance. He was improvising using fake swords in what could be useful during battle.
"Hey Alex!" Alex's eyes slowly opened as his arms lay down to his sides.
"I knew those eyes weren't malevolent." Alex grinned. "What's up?"
"We just want to hang out." Adriana said.
"Alright. Come inside." Alex grabbed his boom box and entered the house. He placed the boom box underneath a side drawer as all of them removed their shoes. They entered the dining room where Mr. and Mrs. Mai were sitting, drinking tea.
"Hello Justin, Adriana, Lina, and Cassy." Mr. Mai greeted.
"Hi Mr. Mai!" All four newcomers chorused.
"Hey!" Jace called as he poked his head out into the doorway.
"What'cha doin'?" Adriana asked as she advanced toward Jace.
"Just baking some cookies." Jace smiled as he ducked back in the kitchen for a second. He came back out bearing a tray full of fresh cookies.
"Yum!" Cassy snatched one and bit into it.
"Thanks!" All six kids started to munch on the sweetened snacks as the parents chuckled.
"Make sure you clean your room!" Mrs. Mai told them as the six kids headed up to Alex's and Jace's shared room, tray in hand.
"MOOOOOOOOM!" Both Jace and Alex groaned as the other four snickered.
As they entered, Lina took the tray from Jace and set it on the table, taking the chair next to it. Jace bounced onto his fluffy bed and sat cross-legged. Alex did the same thing, albeit calmer. Adriana took the first wheelie chair and Justin the other. Cassy sat cross-legged on the carpet.
Alex's face darkened. "I know there's something you're not telling us."
"It has to do with the six dark auras that passed by earlier, right?" Jace asked, his voice soft.
Adriana sighed as she turned her face away from the brothers. "Those dark auras... We think we met them."
"Who?" The question came abruptly.
"Jake, Lan, Kyle, Amanda, Lisa, and Christina." Cassy closed her eyes and sighed.
The two boys went pale.
"That explains everything then." Alex growled. "Everything from why they go after Jace to their change in personalities."
"What?" Lina asked.
Light dawned behind Adriana's eyes. "They started to act differently only a little before the first attacks started."
"They were corrupted to become the Dark Elementalists." Justin growled.
"We've battled for years..." Cassy sighed. "And we still don't know who the head of all this is."
"They have to be powerful." Lina nodded. "Far more powerful than Divatox."
Justin snorted. "Divatox herself would be somewhat easy to fight. It's her crew you have to worry about."
Jace suddenly sneezed. Everyone turned to look at him, only to see him pulling a dusty book from under his bed.
"What's that?" Alex asked, curious.
"It's a Korean spell book I found in the depths of a bookstore." Jace sneezed again. "I thought it might be useful, but I can't understand a single word of it."
"Give it here." Cassy offered. "I'll take a look at it tonight."
"Alright." Sneezing again, Jace handed the tattered book to Cassy.
"Any luck on the spell search?" Justin asked.
"None. I'm alternating between online spells and the library in the Control Base, but I really need my sleep. My magical reserves were totally diminished yesterday and they're only half full now." Jace yawned.
"Ditto," came Cassy's muffled reply as she skimmed the spell book.
"Adriana and I are working on some new suit programs." Justin commented. "We're probably going to implement the copycat program, but they'll be limited to weapons and specialties."
"Doesn't matter." Alex shrugged.
"Alex and I are scouting magical areas. We're finding some sources and planning future strikes. We're sneaking around, trying to find the base of the Dark Elementalists." Lina told the group.
Justin nodded. "I want to check something out in about..." Looking at the calendar, he sighed. "The night of the full moon."
"Do you need any help?" Adriana asked.
"It's some scavenging, but yeah. Help will be appreciated." Justin admitted.
"We're there." The other five said in unison.
"Mind if I go on the net?" Justin asked.
"Go ahead." Alex replied as he and Lina brought out a map of the city, fully colored with spells.
Jace brought out a Japanese spell book he brought from the Control Base and started flipping through it.
Adriana went on the net with permission.
Justin opened up his IM and was instantly hailed.
RockoDS: Hey Justin!
FlameJ: What's up Rocky?
RockoDS: Just saw you on and decided to IM you
FlameJ: Okay then
RockoDS: So... How are the Turbo Rangers?
RockoDS: It's been awhile since I've been in Angel Grove
Justin bit his lip as he replied.
FlameJ: I've moved as passing the Powers on
RockoDS: When did this happen?
FlameJ: A couple months before the summer
RockoDS: You never told me?
RockoDS: That bites!
FlameJ: I'm sorry!
FlameJ: I've been busy!
RockoDS: All right
RockoDS: What's the new team like?
FlameJ: They're nice
FlameJ: They need a bit of work on the group skills, but all right
RockoDS: Good to hear
RockoDS: Where do you live now?
FlameJ: Boston
RockoDS: *whistles* From coast to coast
FlameJ: *shrugs*
RockoDS: So, how about I come visit you sometime?
Justin grew alarmed.
FlameJ: No! You don't have to
RockoDS: There something you're not telling me?
FlameJ: No!
RockoDS: Alright then...
FlameJ: g2g cya
RockoDS: cya
Justin sighed as Jace called to him. "What?"
"There's an interesting spell here. Loosely translated, it means 'Bring one that burns bright, another of element the one is. Willing spirits shall be transported from the place they are housed.' Got any ideas on that?"
"Burns brightly is fire." Justin explained. "The another of element is the element the spirit is about. Like air spirits need wind. It also has to consensual."
Jace nodded and started looking through the book again.
"Justin? You have to most experience out of all of us. Can you determine a likely place from, this map?" Alex asked looking up from the maps he leaned over.
"Sure." Swinging out, he looked at the maps. "They probably need big magical stores."
"Yeah. The largest stores are under the school, under the park, beneath the police station, around the Control Base, and a rather obscure one in the outskirts of town."
"Well, we could scratch the park and the Control Base out, for sure." Justin commented.
"That leaves four possible places." Lina reminded.
"We need more info." Justin sighed.
"No doubt. You could go back to what you were doing." Alex waved and Justin returned back to some notes he was beginning to write.
I need to go back to the ruins of the Power Chamber. Maybe I can find some important artifacts that may have survived the explosion. Especially the Zeo Crystal.
"Justin!" Adriana, Jace, and Cassy shouted at the same time.
"What's the matter?" Justin was in full alert now.
Adriana pulled up a hidden program, showing visuals of the whole city along with scans. "Big magical upwelling!"
"Teleportation?" Justin hurried.
"Possibly. But there's a lot of dark magic in for just a teleportation." Cassy commented.
Suddenly, both Rangers of Spirit started to gasp, convulsing against the ground.
"JACE!" Alex cried, moving to hug his brother's body close.
"CASSY!" Adriana carefully wrapped her arms around the shaking Cassy.
"They've sent us a message." Cassy gasped.
"Meet them at 8:00 tonight in the the deserted area of the town." Jace continued.
"Otherwise they're not responsible for damages to the city." Cassy finished.
"Signed, the Dark Elementalists." Jace sighed as both kids stopped shaking, though they were breathing heavily.
"Dammit." Alex growled. "They know we're weak today!"
"But we have to fight." Lina hopped off the bed and stretched. "Otherwise, we wouldn't be doing our jobs."
Adriana started musing. "Elemental Powers are only transferred upon death of the Ranger. How can we live with the stress later on?"
"Better than dying." Cassy retorted.
A soft snore caught everyone's ears. They turned to see Jace sprawled out on his bed, fast asleep.
Justin chuckled. "I think Jace has the right idea. What say we meet in the park at 7:30?"
"Fine. I'll tell Jace. If you'll excuse me..." Alex flung himself onto the bed and fell asleep.
Lina smiled. "We'll let ourselves out." The four immediately left and headed to their houses. While Justin slept in his bed, a man stood watch over him.
"I'll never understand why you're always so tired." Dean whispered as he stroked his son's hair. "You look like you have the fate of the Earth in your hands. It was like that back in Angel Grove too. You aren't that small boy I left behind." Dean sighed. "I hope I'll never have to leave you again till I really have to go." He took a glance at the orange bracelet resting on his wrist. "I really wonder what that bracelet is for. It took the place of that silver one... I wonder if you still have it." Kissing his son's forehead, Dean left the room.
* * * * * * *
At 7:45, six figures in spandex sat on various trees in the vicinity of the park.
"Should I rely on my mage powers or my Ranger powers?" Cassy was asking.
Justin shook his head. "It's still hard for me to believe that you've been trained to be a mage."
"At least my voice comes in handy for chants." Cassy grinned, but couldn't be seen though her helmet.
"I shouldn't rely on my healer powers." Jace shook his head. "Even if they have more of a magical wellspring than my Ranger magic today, they're rather weak in the attack department."
Alex poked Jace from the branch above the Ranger of Water. "You're a healer. That's interesting. You're just lucky that Kamion's a healer also."
Jace's glare could even be felt though the visor of his helmet. "Oh? You're the dancer that's name is worshiped by half the girls on Frenhild."
"Don't remind me!" Alex groaned. "They aren't even humanoid."
"That reminds me." Adriana turned to the Ranger of Thunder. "Didn't you whoop some warrior master from Opoufas?"
"That's right..." Lina turned her gaze upwards. "We visited there once. Being a child Ranger and beating one of the best known fighting masters on their planet really held me in respect. It kind of sucks that we had to send that guy who tried to assassinate us to jail though."
Adriana snorted in laughter.
"You shouldn't talk." The Ranger of Ice reminded the Ranger of Wind. "You're knowledge of myths and magic far surpasses many people in other planets. There's also the fact that you ability to fight in the mental plain soundly beat some experts."
"Thank my dad." Adriana blushed. "He taught me how to do that using ancient techniques."
"Don't forget Justin." Cassy smirked.
"Hailed as the youngest Ranger ever to be." Jace started.
"A certified genius in his own right." Alex continued.
"Blademaster at thirteen." Lina followed.
"Is telekinetic, telepathic, and has a host of other psychic powers, all uncovered and enhanced due to the Orange Fire Powers." Cassy smirked.
"Not to mention a leader of the light in a dangerous war that rivals many others." Adriana finished.
"Thanks guys." Justin's emotion could clearly be heard in his voice. "You all make me feel better."
Suddenly, Justin closed his eyes. His body was still, making the other Elementalist Rangers tense.
"It's time." He whispered, a dominantly orange with blue aura flickering around him.
"Yes." Adriana nodded, silver aura flaring. The other Rangers nodded also, their aura in their Ranger color shining brightly.
Tapping their wrists, the six teleported out.
* * * * * * *
Six flashes of light landed in the area of a valley's plain.
"This is the last store of magic in the immediate area." Cassy whispered, deactivating her magic scan.
Another six flashes of light caught their attention and they turned to see six Rangers standing there.
The two teams stared at each other.
"Astro Rangers." Red Astro introduced.
"Elementalist Rangers." Justin replied.
"Blue Astro Ranger!"
"Yellow Astro Ranger!"
"Black Astro Ranger!"
"Pink Astro Ranger!"
"Silver Astro Ranger!"
"Red Astro Ranger!" The six Rangers posed.
"Aqua Water Ranger of Spirit!" Jace thrust his left hand forward and placed his right on the star that rested a little to the left of his heart.
"Silver Wind Ranger of Mind!" Adriana moved her left arm forward, the right hand resting on the star that lay on the right side of her helmet.
"Gold Thunder Ranger of Body!" Lina's left arm went forward, her right hand resting on the star placed on her right shoulder.
"Brown Earth Ranger of Body!" Alex pointed at the Astros with his left hand, the right one going to the star on his left shoulder.
"Purple Ice Ranger of Spirit!" The right arm of Cassy went to rest on the star a little to the right of her heart as her left went to the Astros.
"Orange Fire Ranger of Mind!" Justin's left arm went forward with strength, the right resting on the left side of his helmet and his pose told of pride and power.
"Let's go!" The twelve warriors rushed forward.
Adriana ducked the flying kick that Pink Astro threw at her. Turning around, she threw a punch forward that was deflected by Pink Astro's wrist. Flipping backward, she managed to dodge the punch that Pink Astro threw her way. The two connected in a flurry of punches and kicks. As they stopped for a breather, Adriana looked at Pink Astro. "You've got a good style." The other Ranger shrugged. "A friend taught me." I recognize this style... Adriana looked at Pink Astro. Shaking her head, Adriana threw herself back into the fight. She dodged the high kick that Pink Astro aimed her way and then dropped into a sweep kick. Jumping over that, Pink Astro tried to slam her feet into Adriana's chest. Taking the hit, Adriana felt the wind knocked out of her. As an immediate reaction, she thrust her hands forward. "Shredding Gust!" The air solidified into a silver curve that slammed forcefully into Pink Astro. Adriana felt the aftereffects of the magic. "I ain't as healed as I thought I was." She grumbled. "Satellite Stunner!" The curved laser that was Pink Astro's specialty appeared in her hands. "Uh oh." Adriana ducked as a pink orb of energy shot at her. She swung to her left as several rings of energy fired at her also. "Silver Air Bow!" The archer's bow appeared in Adriana's hands as she drew the string back. Pink Astro stopped firing as a memory assailed her. She could practically see the Pink Turbo Ranger overlapping her enemy's features, but she shook her head. This isn't the time to go over old memories. Pink Astro chided herself. She threw herself to the left as several arrows of wind flew at her. She retaliated with several energy blasts, but the two attacks cancelled.
Jace and Alex were back to back as Blue and Black Astro circled them. "Who gets who?" Jace asked offhandedly. "I'll take Blacky." Alex charged, throwing a punch at Black Astro's stomach. The other male dodged, but fell prey as Jace drill kicked him in the side. Blue Astro charged with a punch and Alex deflected it. Jace swung around and chopped Blue Astro as Alex spin kicked Black Astro even farther away. The two Elementalists back flipped to avoid the strikes that the Astros aimed their way. "Cover me!" Jace cried. "With ya bro." Alex rushed forward as Jace started concentrating. Alex dodged a punch from Blue Astro, only to have a foot slammed into his gut. Gasping, Alex dropped to his knees, clutching his stomach. Black Astro sweep kicked, but Alex dodged and drew his Earth Blaster. Launching a volley of shots, he managed to keep the two other Rangers at bay while Jace finished concentrating. "Light of Purity!" A pure white aura surrounded Jace and he thrust it into the ground. Columns of light surrounded the Black and Blue Astros, and then they exploded, sending them flying. As they lay writhing on the ground, Alex helped the panting Jace up before punching him in the shoulder. "You idiot! You aren't supposed to use magic." Jace whined after the rebuke. "But they were being hurtying!" Alex shook his head. The spell had reverted Jace child speech. He shook the Ranger of Water's helmet a bit. "I needed that." Jace sighed. "Astro Axe!" "Quadra Staff!" Both brothers look at each other and sighed as their enemies rushed up, one with an axe and the other with a staff with crescent prongs. "I'll take blue." Jace told Alex. "Aqua Water Staff!" "Cover me." Alex replied. "Brown Ground Cannon!" With cannon in hand, Alex took a pose that made both Astros freeze. Faintly, both thought they could see Green Turbo Ranger standing there instead of the Brown Earth Ranger. A savage cry made them look to see Jace, colors darkening against the black sky, leap and try to slam his staff downward. The two dodged and Blue Astro tried to chop at Jace, but the attack was parried. Black Astro also kicked at the same time, catching Jace in their ribs. As the boy kneeled in pain, a hail of brown cannon blasts interrupted the Astros. They were sent to the ground as Jace managed to get himself up and check his wounds.
Lina and Cassy stood facing Yellow Astro and Silver Astro calmly. Lina had her Gold Spark Laser out and was facing Yellow Astro and her Star Slinger. Cassy drew her Purple Ice Daggers and watched warily the Silver Astro and his Super Silverizer, currently in blade mode. Cassy took a step forward as she spun her daggers in a wheel, the ends connected. Taking the step as an advance, Silver Astro charged, slashing with his blade. It caught Cassy in the chest and she was flung back by the force of it. Lina jumped backwards as yellow bolts of energy from a Star Slinger shot at her. She fired a near continuous stream of electric bolts, all striking Silver Astro. The male reeled, but then deflected the bolts back at the Gold Ranger. Dodging, she wasn't ready as attacks from Yellow Astro assailed her. "Get down!" Lina ducked as two daggers went whizzing above her head. The two daggers struck the two Astro, damaging them, but they rebounded quickly and Silver Astro charged with Yellow covering. "This is ridiculous!" Lina growled as she made her weapon disappear. "Gold Thunder Rings!" Two sharp rings were held in such as way that Yellow Astro stopped firing for a second. Just barely, Yellow Astro could see the Yellow Turbo Ranger holding the Star Chargers instead. Shaking her head, Yellow Astro returned to firing again. Cassy weaved around the shots and leapt into the air. She landed on Silver Astro and used him as leverage to soar over Yellow Astro and retrieve her daggers. Snatching them, Cassy held her palms out. "I call upon the power of magic flowing through this earth! Rise and erupt!" A column of energy crashed through into Yellow Astro, flinging her into Cassy. The two then dropped their weapons and started to brawl. Lina avoided the slash that Silver Astro aimed her way and then thrusted. Silver Astro blocked it and then turned into a wide slash that sent Lina flying. She landed right next to the battle between Jace and Blue Astro.
Justin and Red Astro clashed swords again and again. "You've got good technique." Red Astro grunted. "You too." Justin replied as the runes engraved in his sword started to glow. "Spiral Saber!" The weapon started to glow a fierce blue color and Red Astro slashed, blue light trailing. Justin's sword went aflame, parrying the slash and then turning it into an uppercut. While still in the air, Justin positioned himself above Red Astro and dove down. The other male dodged and Justin's attack flew into the ground. The sword laid buried up into the hilt in the dirt. "Damn." Justin growled as he dodged a furious swipe from Red Astro. The Red Ranger pointed his hand toward Justin's sword and it started to lift out of the ground of its own accord. "No you don't!" Justin used his telekinesis to tug the sword toward him and he caught it in mid-air. Red Astro looked surprised. "How did you attain psychic powers?" "None of your business. Orange Blaze Blasters!" Justin's sword disappeared to let his cannons come and he took a pose used by the Blue Turbo Ranger. Blue, Black, Pink, and Yellow Astros stopped mid-battle to look. They could see the Blue Turbo Ranger standing there instead of the Orange Fire Ranger. "What are you waiting for?" Silver Astro asked. "It's just- never mind." The Astros shook their head before returning to battle. Red Astro was on the receiving end of the cannon attacks and he flew backward as Justin then resummoned his sword.
"Astro Axe!" Blue Astro started to spin on the balls of his feet to try to rapidly attack the Elementalists. "Thunder Coil!" Lina took her rings and used her spinning special strike to deflect the attack.
"Quadra Staff!" Black Astro tried to use the prongs to grab at Alex, but Jace was there with his own staff. "Water Points!" Every time that Black Astro tried to attack, he was deflected by the staff end of water.
"Satellite Stunner!" "Star Slinger!" The two female Astros teamed up to try to shoot down the Elementalists. Adriana calmly picked off each blast with her arrows and Alex did the same using his cannon.
Silver Astro charged his blade and went into a devastating combo. Or at least tried to. "Ice Cyclone!" Cassy spun around in circles, deflecting each strike until a large explosion of combined energies through them backwards.
"Spiral Saber!" Red Astro tried the same glowing slash. This time, Justin was readier. "Fire Cut-through!" The two swords clashed and an explosion of energy caught the immediate area. All the teams were flung back into their group.
"Let's bring it together guys!" Black Astro shouted. The Pink, Black, Blue, and Yellow Astro Power Weapons combined into one. "Quadroblaster!"
"Spiral Saber Booster Mode!" Red Astro attached his Spiral Saber to his Astro Blaster, the gun on his hip, and pointed it at the Elementalists.
"Super Silverizer Blaster Mode!" Shifting his weapon, Silver Astro pointed a blaster at the Elementalists.
"FIRE!" All six Astros shouted at one. Three blasts of energy shot forward.
"Wall of Light!" Jace went into the deepest part of his magical reserves and summoned a wall of solidified light to defend against the attacks.
"Electric Barrier!" Lina's electric energy joined the wall.
"Energy racing through the earth, hear my plea! Rise and defend!" Earth energy condensed into material form joined the ever-growing barrier.
"Wind Shield!" Adriana's wind joined the defense.
"Flame Guard!" Justin called upon his reserves to add to the defense.
"Earthen Wall!" Alex followed up with a solid wall of rock.
This, however, was where it all crashed down. The Red and Silver Astros' attacks completely destroyed all these magical barriers and the attack of the Quadroblaster went unhindered. The attack flew into Adriana.
Everyone watched stunned as Adriana's body was flung backwards and her helmet shattered in mid-flight. Her body immediately shifted to its natural form, meaning a thirteen-year-old. Her golden hair splayed about her, she landed like a rag doll the ground, not moving. A burn lay on her neck, barely visible through the darkness. An anguished cry swept through the area and Justin rushed towards the fallen girl. Taking his gauntlets off, Justin checked for a pulse. "Oh please no..." Justin whispered. A faint beating told him that Adriana was still alive. Justin sighed as he scooped up Adriana's body in his arms. The other Elementalists had clustered around him when he was looking for a pulse. Standing, Justin turned his head toward the Astros and spoke in a cold, harsh tone. "You will pay." All five teleported out, leaving the Astros in stunned silence.
* * * * * * *
The Dark Elementalists sat in their dark conference room in shock.
"Adriana?" Aqua Ranger whispered, taking off his helmet. He revealed himself as Lan Yao, a Polish boy.
"Then Jace is..." Silver Ranger removed her helmet and became the Japanese Amanda Bryson again. "The Aqua Water Ranger."
"Lina, the Gold..." Orange Ranger released himself from the Ranger powers to become Jake Foster, an African American.
Brown Ranger reverted himself to Kyle Mizuki, a Korean boy. "Then Cassy's the Purple. I can feel it."
"Alex..." Purple Ranger demorphed and became Christina Chan, a beautiful Chinese girl. "Brown Ranger."
"Jason should have been the Orange Ranger." Gold Ranger growled as she turned back into Lisa, an American girl. "Not Justin."
"We can't help that Jason moved." Amanda reminded.
"Yeah..." Lisa sighed. "Though Justin is good."
Fools! A voice made all six startle. Why do you speak of them in such a manner?
Kyle brushed himself off; the darkness that surrounded him gave way to light. "I'm not listening to you anymore."
Amanda follow suit. "You six are evil to be destroyed after playing with us!"
Lan and Lisa, trusting the two followed, light steadily growing stronger. "We're not going to be your puppets anymore!"
"We've done enough damage!" Lisa added to the before comments.
Christina nodded, remnants of a dark corruption spell fading from her.
"We're leaving and taking the Power with us!" Jake declared, moving to communicator, teleporter, and morpher mixed into one on his left wrist, which was a mangled color of red and orange when before it was a dark orange.
No you won't! A voice roared and the six teens were frozen in place.
Reapply the spell, Ice! A female voice rushed.
Darkness, grow within these hearts. Toy with them; force them to the side of darkness! Ice's female voice chanted and a dark mist, a much more powerful version of the spell on the Astros, surrounded and encased the six struggling humans. Their eyes blanked; the struggles stopped.
It is done.
That was too close Fire... The last female said softly.
Way too close. A male agreed.
That spell should hold them, but we have to sit on them for a while. The head voice, the last male, Fire, rumbled.
How did they break through the spell anyway? The chanter, Ice, hissed.
Love. The female who spoke last commented. Friendship and love did it Ice.
How would you know Earth? The male who roared asked.
I felt it once Thunder. Earth retorted. I fell in love with a human once. At least it fluttered. He was the Black Ranger.
Him? That Park boy? The second to last voice realized.
Yes Wind. Him. Earth sighed.
Love, who needs it? The unnamed female scoffed.
It can be very powerful indeed on the forces of light, Water. Fire rumbled. That is how we're going to lose Zedd and Rita.
Don't ever mention those two in my presence again! Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Ice hissed at the same time.
Why not? Water scoffed. Wait. Stupid question.
You'd better believe it. Thunder retorted.
The counsel of six continued to talk as the newly reenspelled Dark Elementalists teleported away.
* * * * * * *
"Will she be alright?" Justin asked worriedly. The five had demorphed and handed Adriana's body to Zeta.
"The Control Base's facilities cannot heal this." Zeta shook his head. "If Jace can heal her, then she'll only be unconscious."
"Fine." Jace walked up to Adriana and placed his hands on her neck. His face scrunched up in concentration as a white blow overcame his hands. "Healing Light!" The glow transferred over to the wound on her neck and the damage she sustained from the fall unmorphed. At the burn and bruises disappeared, Jace's face grew weary. When the glow faded, he slumped to the ground, exhausted. "I'm fine!" He protested, however.
"You used too much magic." Kamion shook his head.
"I had to dig into my magic reserves because today's a new moon and yesterday's battle. But I'm fine!" Jace tried to stand, but he tripped and landed on his butt.
"Come here dai dai." Alex easily lifted his brother and held him in his arms. "We're going home. If our parents catch us, we're in trouble."
"Bai!" Jace waved, though he was a little made about being treated like a child. The two teleported out in a column of light.
"Give us any word of Adriana's condition." Lina and Cassy waved and left.
"Same goes for me." Justin fixed a stern glare at Zeta before going over to Adriana. "Rest easy." He kissed her hand and teleported out.
"Provide Adriana a blanket and a pillow please Zeta." Kamion told the droid before his time warp tube went blank.
Zeta did so before blanking out against the wall.
* * * * * * *
Mathais: Finally!
Justin: Finals are frying your brain.
Adriana: No doubt!
Alex: Definitely!
Lina: Take a brake from cramming!
Mathais: I can't! Latin's on Wednesday and I totally suck at it!
All four Elementalists: *sigh*
Justin: Reviews are much appreciated!
Mathais: Here's the answer to the only review.
pyrogirl123 - Thanks for the review. I'm glad you thought that was cool. Hold your pokemon keep under control. Mine are dancing across the room right now. ^_~
All five: Bai!
