Chapter 10

Frozen Solid Part 2

The four remaining Rangers- Jason, Alex, Olivia and Callum ran up to their Energy Cycles and jumped onto them.

"Alright, Energy Cycles GO!" the Red Energy Ranger shouted and they charged up their motorcycles and raced out onto the street. Zoe had locked herself in her room and Dr. Sparks had no idea what she was doing in her, probably grieving.

Nevertheless the remaining Energy Rangers manage to drive their Energy Cycles into the city where the yeti-like alien was freezing eveything in it's path.

"Moto-Beams!" the Rangers chanted in unison and each of them blasted a beam of their colour at the yeti alien, taking him by surprise. He shrieked and stumbled backwards.

"Who are you?" Callum demanded when he had recovered from the surprise attack.

The yeti-like monster looked up and chuckled. "My name is Frostbiter! I like to act COOL! And right now I think you all need to CHILL!" He shot a blue beam at the Rangers but they charged up their motorcycles and speeded away just in time before beginning to race around Frostbiter in circle The energy from the motorcycles began to build up and the Rangers prepared themselves for the Energy Ring Strike. Frostbiter cringed, preparing for something nasty . . .

"It's not working!" Olivia cried. "What's wrong?"

Callum suddenly realised the problem. "Without Zoe, we don't have enough energy to perform the Energy Ring Strike!"

"Oh great! Now what do we do?" shouted Alex.

Callum was about to think of a plan but Frostbiter noticed the problem and managed to leap into the air and out of the way before shooting his beam at the Rangers.

"LOOK OUT!" the Red Energy Ranger yelled.

Without thinking, the four Rangers quickly dismounted their Energy Cycles. Frostbiter's beam struck the motorcycles, freezing them completely. Callum, Olivia, Alex and Jason tumbled out of the way only to see what Frostbiter had done.

"Whoa! Not cool, dude!" Jason snapped at Frostbiter.

"Please! Don't make me laugh," Frostbiter snorted. "You chilled out yet or what?"

"No. We're just getting warmed up!" the Red Energy Ranger shouted. "Lightning Saber!" He pulled out his weapon and tried to strike Frostbiter with it. But somehow, Callum didn't know how, Frostbiter grabbed his Lightning Saber and yanked it clean out of his hands.

"Have you ever wondered what a taste of your own medicine would feel like?" Frostbiter laughed, slashing Callum with his own weapon. Sparks flew out of Callum's Ranger costume and he tumbled backwards.

"Energy Vault!"

The Pink Energy Ranger used her pole to catapult herself into the air and was about to land hard on Frostbiter when he grabbed her pole and yanked at it, causing Olivia to land hard on her stomach. He then grabbed her and pinned her to him, just as the Yellow Energy Ranger was about to strike him with his Hock Hammer.

"Strike me and you freeze her!" Frostbiter demanded at Alex who backed away, not sure what to do. Should he lash out and watch his sister freeze or retreat and let Frostbiter run loose, using Olivia as a shield? He glanced behind Frostbiter and suddenly grinned mischievously behind his yellow helmet because the alien was so focused on protecting himself, he failed to notice Jason aiming at his back with his Racket Blaster.

"FIRE!"

The Green Energy Ranger's bullets pelted Frostbiter from behind, causing him to stumble over and let go of Olivia and Alex seized the oppurtunity to grab his sister and haul her away from Frostbiter's grip. He spun her around so his back was facing Frostbiter . . .

"You okay, Livvy?"

"Yeah, thanks to you," the Pink Energy Ranger panted.

Alex laughed and Olivia smiled too. But her smile immediately turned into a frown when she saw the Frostbiter aiming a beam at the yellow ranger.

"Alex, look out!"

He whipped around when his sister warned her.

BOOM!

Too late, the Frostbiter successfully struck Alex with him beam. Alex jerked hard before the beam turned into ice and surrounding him completely. Through his visor, Olivia could see his eyes opened wide in horror and within a matter of moments, the Yellow Energy Ranger had turned into an ice sculpture!

"ALEX!" Olivia screamed and started knocking at the ice sculpture, hoping that her brother would somehow respond.

In front of her, Frostbiter began to roar with laughter. "That's two down, only three more to go! I hope you three will put up a better fight than the last two!"

That caught Callum's attention. "What did you do to-"

But Frostbiter had disappeared in a flash.

"Zoe," Callum finished before he and Jason ran over to the screaming Pink Energy Ranger.

"Olivia, come on! We have to go, tell Dr. Sparks about this."

"NO!" she sobbed. "I'm not leaving my brother!"

Callum groaned. "Come ON! Dr. Sparks needs to know. NOW!"
He and Jason took an arm each and began to drag Olivia away. Olivia screamed in protest.

"NOOOOOO! I CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT MY BROTHER! THAT FROSTBITER'S GONNA COME BACK AND DO SOMETHING HORRIBLE TO HIM!"

"We'll get your brother back," Callum tried to reassure her. "And we'll find a way to defeat Frostbiter."

"Two down, three to go . . ."

What had Frostbiter meant when he had said that? Was there another team out there? Was there another Ranger? Was this something to do with Zoe?

A little while later, Jason, Callum and Olivia (who had calmed down a little but was still really upset) headed into the lab. Zoe was there and she was playing with her Blue Energy Morpher with her good hand. She groaned when she saw the state of the team.

"What happened?" she muttered, pretty sure she knew the answer.
Olivia burst into tears again. "THE FROSTBITER! HE TOOK MY BROTHER!"

"And why doesn't that surprise me?" said Zoe, shrugging.

"Hey! Callum says he was targeting you too you know," said Jason.

Callum blushed. "Yeah. I don't know yet . . . this sounds pretty crazy but Zoe . . . that Isaac guy . . . I think he might be the same guy . . ."

Zoe paused. "Hang on- how do you know his name?"

There was an awkward silence.

"You've been stalking me all the time!" Zoe snapped, horrified. "Some leader you are! Okay, I don't care if my wrist falls off, I'm coming with you to find this 'Frostbiter' guy!" She was holding her morpher and prepared to shout out the words. "Sports Energy, Su- CALLUM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

The red ranger had grabbed her morpher and was now stomping up to his room. He threw the morpher into the room then closed the door and locked it before putting the key in his pocket.

Everyone stared at him.

"Your morpher does not come out of my room until your wrist gets better. You got that?" said Callum sternly to the fuming blue ranger.

Zoe glared at him. Then the sound of the alarm filled the room.

"I think Mr. Cool's back," said Jason.

"Then let's get him. I've got a bone to pick with that guy!" said Olivia in a determined tone.

Callum nodded in agreement before turning to Zoe. "You stay here, you got that?"

"Well what else do you expect me to do? Throw a party?" yelled Zoe as the remaining three Rangers ran out. As soon as they were gone, she added rather rudely: "Have fun getting screwed!"
