As The Battle Rages
Chapter 6
It was coming so fast. Just speeding towards him. The nearly invisible blast fire sped towards Dakota as a very depressing thought crept into his mind. He wasn't going to make it. Dimly, he heard his sister's cries desperately screaming for him "TO MOVE YOUR LAZY ARSE!" Unfortunetly, that seemed to be one thing he couldn't do.
Time seemed to slow and the blast seemed to inch closer with every passing moment… until one moment he would find it… too close. His mind worked at top speed, trying to find some way, any way, to get him out of this unharmed.
He followed the blast with his eyes and head as it crawled closer and closer to his body. A few inches before impact a random memory popped into his mind. Gwyn had hinted something of one of the rangers being able to become intangible. Transokinesis, she had called it.
Closing his eyes and hoping for the best, he felt the head of the blast scorch his suit and skin and then… there was nothing, no feeling at all. It was the most wonderful thing he had ever felt before.
An explosion behind him got him out of his trance and all sensations of feeling returned with such a force he fell to the ground, seeing nothing but darkness, but hearing all the more.
Feet were pounding in the grass, bodies hit it hard, people groaned and cried out in pain, skin hitting the material their suits had been made of and suddenly, even that stopped. People were running his way, he could feel the ground shake and hear their feet pound on the soft grass and the soil beneath it.
Someone was calling his name, but he couldn't identify the voice. More people started demanding for him to answer them already, but the pain in his abdomen was too great. He couldn't get his body to respond and just ignore the pain.
Suddenly a soft voice broke through it all, not addressing him, but someone else.
"Chaitlin, you know you can help him. Look deep within you."
After a few moments a hand was placed on his stomach, making him want to cry out in pain if he had been able to. The next thing he new the pain was disappearing. It was as if his body was rapidly replacing the damaged tissue, even faster than it did with the help of the Power.
Suddenly his eyes shot open and he gasped for breath. He didn't notice he had sat up in a sitting position in the process until two slim arms wrapped themselves around him with a force you wouldn't expect them to have.
"Thank god you're okay." His twin's sweet, stressed voice whispered in his ear and he felt the shoulder of his suit turn wet.
His arms almost automatically wrapped themselves around his sister and he held her as she cried. Overcome with the immense relieve when he realised he might not have survived if not for Chaitlin.
"Thanks, Chait." He muttered softly in embarrassment, his arms tightening around Kayla.
"Don't mention it, twirp." His sister replied playfully, though he could almost see the worry in her eyes.
"That was so cool, Kota." He heard his cousins say in awe. "You suddenly became see-through and the blast went right through you, as if you weren't there."
"I… I…" Dakota stumbled, not sure how to reply to Ray. "Thank you, Gwyn."
He pulled back and looked at the girl from the future. Her hair was now fire engine red and stood up in short spikes. She didn't look anything like the girl her had met in Jeff's house, but he knew it was her.
"No problem. I came here to prevent people from dying." The girl replied.
"I died?" Dakota asked, all colour draining from his face as he began to contemplate that possibility.
"No, but history has been altered already. I don't know what's going to happen now I meddled, but obviously, time is fighting back."
Dakota relaxed a little and turned his attention back to his twin, clinging desperately to her. A short distance away he could hear the remaining ranger team verbally fighting each other, but he couldn't bring himself to care. A quick glance around his family told him neither did they.
The team was breaking up and would continue to do so until someone took action. They knew Aurora was the only one to bring this to a good end, having been appointed leader in the first place, but for now, she was going to let them swim. They'd have to learn the true value of teamwork, but they weren't willing to learn yet.
"Chaitlin, can you lend me a hand?" Aurora asked suddenly.
Not much later, Dakota felt Kayla let him go and he was haltered to his feet, supported by two people.
"Let's get him home. I think this daze is an after effect of using his Transokinesis for the first time."
Dakota didn't see Gwyn nod, but he did hear her reply.
"It'll keep happening for a while. He should try and train it outside of battle before it'll become a true advantage. That goes for the whole team actually, unless the power can not be controlled."
Then the familiar sensation of being teleported took over and the next thing he knew, Dakota was being pushed onto one of the couches at home. Faintly he heard Aurora say something about training sessions before the blissful numbness of sleep took over. Letting him recover from the last bit of dizziness becoming intangible had caused.
A/N: Hope you liked it. Haven't got any chapters left and school is getting to me, so you'll probably have to wait a while for the next chapter. Review:D
