Summary: As the fight continues, the rangers try to keep their lives as normal as possible while learning about their full powers.

Phantom Rogue: Go stare! Go drool! Go be a good addict and drool all over the place… No wait… I take that back. GO WRITE:D

The-power-of-love: This fast enough?

Star Fata: Thanks… any chance of an update from you?

As The Battle Rages

Chapter 24

Her first thought upon gaining consciousness was that she felt sick. That was quickly followed the realization that she couldn't move; her limbs seemed to be made out of led. She tried to call out, but no words left her mouth, her throat was too dry to make a sound. She felt like she was dying.

The moment that thought dawned on her, she panicked.

Crystal Spring

Karone opened the front door and looked a little surprise.

"Anlon? Dymphna? What are you two doing here?" She asked, not under the impression the team had made up.

"We need Chaitlin's help." Anlon explained. "The other rangers have disappeared."

The urgency in his voice made her step aside and let the two in, telepathically calling Chaitlin and the twin to get to the living room right that instant.

"What's wrong?" Chaitlin asked when she walked into the living room with the twin on her heels.

"The other rangers have been disappearing all over the place." Dymphna explained, trying to hide the underlying tone of desperation.

"It started with Kagan and Abby this morning." Anlon said softly. "Then we thought Megan had disappeared, but she ended up being with a friend. Murtagh disappeared while we were looking for her. Then, just now, there was an attack and Eshla, Reese and Megan disappeared. Not even travelling in groups was helping." He sighed, and the worry lines were evident on his face.

"Sounds like we could use Aurora and Ray." Dakota sighed.

"But we can't call them." Chaitlin said, leaving no discussion. "They deserve this time away, just them and their family."

Kayla nodded, before glancing over her shoulder to see Gwyn leaning against the doorframe.

"Any suggestions?" She asked her cousin from the future.

"They weren't very forthcoming about this." Gwyn shrugged. "All I know is that you should all just prepare to face your greatest fears and overcome them. Though if I'm right, someone will help you out eventually."

"Who's she?" Dymphna asked.

"Ciana from the future." Gwyn replied casually. "Just call me Gwyn."

"What are their special powers?" Chaitlin wanted to know.

"Anlon's is transfiguration and Dymphna's is telelocation."

"I know what transfiguration is, but telelocation?" Dakota wondered out loud.

"She can find out someone's location with her mind, all she has to do is think about them and wonder where they are." Gwyn explained.

"That explains how she knew you were with Mack just now…" Anlon mussed. "But what do we do?"

"Dymphna!" Kayla smiled brightly. "You can use your powers, maybe you can find out where the others disappeared to."

Dymphna nodded and closed her eyes. The others waited in silence until she looked up, shaking her head sadly.

"It's as if they disappeared from the universe. I thought they might have been transported to another planet, but I can locate Aurora and Ray just fine." Dymphna sighed. "What are the others powers, by the way? It might come in handy if we happen to run into them in case we get captured too."

Gwyn blew out some air and made a face trying to recall.

"Um… Abby was levitation; she can levitate herself and others… Megan… uh… thoughtograpy, that means she can put an image from her mind onto paper without actually drawing it. Eshla can recreate matter – er, regeneration. Murtagh has the power of transmutation, meaning he can change matter into something else…"

"Like water into Sprite." Dymphna giggled and Gwyn nodded.

"Reese does the opposite of Dakota, it's called harden. His body turns into a kind of crystalline matter when he uses it. And Kagan has the combined powers of clairvoyance and clairaudience. Enabling him to see and hear things that happen right now in other places."

"That's how he knew something was going to happen." Anlon sighed in realisation.

"Probably." Gwyn agreed. "I wish I was told what kind of monster you are dealing with right now, but I don't know, maybe I've forgotten, but I can't help you any further with this."

"I might have a plan." Chaitlin sighed. "But it would mean for one of us to be bait, get captured with no guaranty this will even work."

"I'll do it." Anlon offered, nearly growling. "No one captures my baby sister and gets away with it."

A small smile appeared on Chaitlin's lips, having overheard a conversation between her mom and Cassie about the hostility in their house between the two boys and Abby. Apparently, Anlon had just put that behind him.

"Okay, listen up…"

A/N: Yeah, right. Like I'd tell you what I'm planning to do to them. Just stay tuned. Hope you liked it. And do review, might coax me into updating a little sooner.
