As The Battle Rages
Chapter 20
Ex-slave moon of Cratus
"It is time." Blaecleah laughed the telltale evil laugh of every villain. "Send the Mirage Mage to Earth. Those stupid rangers won't know what hit them, especially now their dear leader and her pest brother are off planet."
"Yes my Lord." A monster bowed, before leaving the room.
"I will win this time. Victory will be mine!"
Crystal Spring
Abigail hurried after her brother, while Kagan was doing his best to shake off his sister. He couldn't care if his mother wanted him watch over his sister during the walk to school. Even the threat of Blaecleah couldn't change his feelings of betrayal towards his sister.
The sudden rush of fear did end up to be enough to stop him in his tracks and turn around.
A thin mist was starting to surround Abigail and she stared wide-eyed at a tall wizard-like monster wrapped in robes and a cloak pointing a long staff at her that produced the mist, suddenly unable to do anything except squeak out a cry for help.
"Abby!" Kagan called, but she didn't seem to hear.
The mist around her thickened until she was completely hidden from his view. Then suddenly all the mist cleared and Abigail was gone.
"What did you do to my sister?" Kagan demanded.
He stiffened as the monster turned around and pointed his staff at him. The same mist started to surround him and he tried to fight it, escape the damp cloud. Kagan was overcome with fear when he realised he couldn't move. He tried to scream, but no sound came from his mouth.
Soon all he could see was the thick white mist and then all turned dark as he lost consciousness.
A minute later
Three morphed rangers appeared in the park to find it deserted.
"I swear – both of them were scared and then… they just disappeared." The one in deep red said, turning to the others.
"Well, obviously, they're not here." The yellow ranger replied. "Come on, we're going to be late."
"I'll ask Kagan what was going on at school." The red and white coloured ranger promised, before teleporting away.
The other two teleported away too after the red ranger took one careful look around, trying to find something they had missed. From his hiding place the monster laughed softly.
"Two down, nine to go for now."
An hour later at school
Reese looked at the seat next to him. Kagan still hadn't shown up and he was starting to get worried. What if something had happened to him and Abigail and they had overlooked it?
Accidentally he caught Murtagh's questioning gaze and he shrugged.
The door to the classroom opened and Reese's heart jumped, but it was only another teacher entering the room, surveying the kids.
"I see Kagan is missing too." She observed.
"Too?" Their teacher asked.
"Yes, Abigail didn't show up this morning. I was wondering if Kagan could tell me where she was, since she wasn't called in sick."
A stone seemed to be dropped in Reese's stomach. He now desperately longed for those communicators his father had told them about from his ranger days. Anlon was going to kill himself for losing his siblings while he knew they were obviously in trouble.
Abigail opened her eyes and looked around. She was lying in the damp grass on the same spot where she had been attacked. Looking at her watch she quickly scrambled to her feet and grabbed her bag, running in the direction of her school.
"Damn, the teacher is going to kill me." She cursed as she ran on, not noticing something was off.
The school soon came into sight and she pressed on, running even faster. The door opened when she pulled – and, again it didn't register to her that this wasn't supposed to happen.
When she opened the classroom door and rushed in, she stopped short in her tracks. The room was deserted. Carefully she edged out of the room, deciding to see if Kagan could help her with the disappearance of her class, only to find that room empty too.
She started checking the whole school, cold sweat starting to run down her face when everywhere she went there wasn't any indication of a living soul being around.
Out of ideas she teleported home, but found it empty. Leaving her bag behind she ran out of the house, checking all of the other ranger's houses, even ringing the doorbell at the houses of total strangers, but nobody seemed to be home.
Slowly it drew on Abigail that she was all alone and the idea send shivers down her spine. Shaking she teleported home and hid in her bed under her comforter, trying to ignore the silence of the empty world around her.
Kagan woke up and found himself in a room. The table in the middle of it was filled with all kinds of his favourite food. His stomach grumbled and he quickly ran over to grab a bite, completely forgetting he should have been on his way to school.
Picking up a chicken wing, he was about to take a bite when he heard it, startling him so severely, he actually forgot about his stomach for that one heart stopping moment.
"Don't eat me!"
