Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers.

A/N: We have reached the end. This story kinda got away from me. But I have started on the sequel, the working title of which is we are the immortals. I will be exploring Lorelei's past. You might see some appearances from the Ninja Storm rangers (I did rewatch that seasons a few months ago and it's still in my head.) There will be some appearances from the Astro rangers, and that I'm sure of.


Chapter Fifty-Three

The five run towards the school, but there's an explosion of red dust stopping them as they near the front door. Once the dust settles, McKayla Ford reveals herself. The group stumbles backwards, the adrenaline they had felt only seconds earlier slowly fading away. McKayla smirks, "did I stop your plan?"

"No." Kira says, trying to be brave. "We defeated you once before, and we will do it again."

McKayla laughs, seemingly unfazed by the threat. "You defeated me? Your little vampire friend defeated me. And she's either in hiding or has been captured with the rest of the students."

McKayla's eyes glow red, and she fares her fangs. A fire ball goes flying at them, and they jump out of the way. Suddenly, an arrow goes through the hybrid's chest from behind. She gasps, looking down at her chest. "Not again."

She falls to the ground, and Hunter Bradley is standing behind her with a bow and arrow. Lorelei comes to stand next to him, with her own weapons in hand. Kira stands up from the ground, "Lorelei, never thought I'd see the day that I was happy to see you."

"The feeling is not mutual." And just like that, the feeling was gone. "Now where did you guys go? If the you-know-whats were ever needed, this is that time."

"Ms. Hall sent us away to talk to a witch. What happened while we were gone?" Kira says.

"Your mother and two friends of hers took over the school. Lorelei and I hid in one of the secret rooms. Inside the secret room, we found a weapons closet. That's where we got this stuff from." Hunter explains.

"We don't know where her two friends went, but we assume they're still rounding up students." Lorelei continues.

"Let's split up. Conner, you go with Lorelei and Hunter." Kira says, trying to get across the message of 'they're not looking for you three. And we're the ones with the power to stop them.' Conner seems to get the message, and runs inside with Lorelei and Hunter. "Are we ready for this?"

"Do we have a choice?" Ethan says.

"No." Kira breathes. "Let's go save our school."

They walk into the school, which looks like a tornado had blown through it. The lounge was in complete disarray, and the couch was flipped upside down. There were burn marks on the walls and the floor. As they move through the main hall, they find blood stains and scratch marks on the walls and floors. Eventually, they enter the cafeteria. This is where they find the other students, and a man standing on a pedestal in the middle of the room. The man turns around to face the four.

"You're finally here." The man jumps down from the pedestal, walking over to the four.

"Who are you?" Kira says.

"I'm Rhys Akron."

"Akron?" She's sure that she couldn't have heard him correctly.

"That's right, Kira. I'm your cousin." Rhys throws a fireball at them, and they dodge it.

"What is with the fireballs?!" Ethan shouts.

"Well, if you would get hit with one, you would see that it's not your average fireball." Rhys says, sounding frustrated. "Now give me your powers."

"You may be an Akron, but so am I. And we have more power than you."

"That is true. But I also have something that you might want." Rhys smirks. "Miles!"

There's an explosion of blue dust, and Miles appears in the room. With their unconscious friends and Hunter at his feet. Miles drags them over to the rest of the students (most of which are also unconscious), before joining Rhys. The four exchange looks, knowing that this was their last chance. They form a circle around the two men, who are noticeably confused. A force field forms around them, which explodes and everything goes black.


Kira wakes up to Ms. Hall standing over her. She sits up, seeing that she was the only person conscious. "Did we do it?"

"Yes you did. But you and your friends have some explaining to do after we find the teachers." Ms. Hall says, as she helps her student to her feet.

"Yeah, we can explain that."

"Later. There's still the matter of finding the other teachers. Then obviously cleaning up the school after that. And since you're awake, you can help." Ms. Hall leads her to the infirmary. Rhys is lying on a bed in the infirmary.

"What is this?"

"I'm going to read his mind." Ms. Hall holds her hands over Rhys' body, muttering a spell under her breath. After a few moments, Ms. Hall stumbles backwards.

"Ms. Hall, are you okay?" Kira walks over to her teacher.

"I'm fine. And I know where to find them."


"Are you sure this is where they are? Because it doesn't look like anything is here." Kira questions as she walks through the dry desert with her teacher. The dry desert wasn't too dissimilar from the same one she had walked through on her mission just that morning. It was still daytime in whatever dimension the teachers had been brought to according to the information Ms. Hall had pulled from Rhys' mind. Even though it was nighttime in their own world.

"I'm sure. This is one of only three places Rhys has been to since the other teachers were taken. The academy, the house they were all staying in and this place."

"Right. So where were you during all this? You weren't with the students."

"Miles locked me in a closet. When you and your friends combined your powers, the explosion rocked the entire school. It knocked me unconscious just like it did the rest of you, and I was on the other side of the campus. When I came to, the spell was broken by Miles' death. I found you all in the cafeteria. I brought Miles and Rhys to the infirmary, and when I came back to check on you all, you had come to."

Before Kira can say anything, they see two shacks in the distance. "Do you see what I see?"

"Yes. That must be where the other teachers are." They run to the shacks. Kira goes to the smaller one, finding nothing inside. She goes back to the bigger one, where Ms. Hall has just broken the lock on the door. They enter the shack, finding the other teachers. Some are unconscious, while others are barely conscious. "They're all alive."

"Let's get them back to the academy."

the end… for now.
