Author's Note: This is another climax/cliffhanger chapter but it gets deep into the feelings, I suppose in a way. I hope you enjoy.
Power Rangers & it's characters (C) Saban/Disney
Amber Oliver & This Story (C) Me
After countless tries to weaken the Vinerals monster, The Rangers fell to their knees, demorphed by the cause of the damage, Tommy was breathing heavily, holding his arm, "No…" he said in defeat while Lord Zedd appeared out of nowhere, "Hello Rangers!" he laughed, "Lord Zedd?" Aisha exclaimed, "What are you doing here?" asked Kimberly while Lord Zedd laughed, "I came for my prize!" he shot Adam a way from Amber with a thunder bolt from his staff and he was demorphed, sent next to Tommy.
Tommy made sure that he was alright, "Are you okay?" he asked very concerned, "I'm fine," he groaned. They all looked up, seeing Lord Zedd holding Amber in his arms, "Amber!" yelled the Rangers in unison.
Lord Zedd was laughing, "Good-bye Rangers!" he disappeared, along with the Vinerals monster.
Tommy's eyes widen, "NO! AMBER!!!" he screamed with all his might and tried to stay calm, "We'll get her back, Tommy," Kimberly assured, stumbling next to Tommy who was extremely upset, feeling his heart sink when he let his sister fall directly into danger when he promised that he wouldn't ever let that happen…
At The Command Center
The Rangers had teleported to the center and Zordon gave his apologies to Tommy, "How are we going to get her back?" he asked immediately, "Rangers, you will have to teleport inside of the fortress, that's our only hope. Billy, can you start making a portal? It's the only way to get inside," he explained and Billy nodded, "I'll get right on it," he began to push buttons on the controls, "This'll take a few hours," Billy said then looked at Tommy who was worried, then looked at Kimberly who pulled her boyfriend to the side, talking to him, "Come on, Tommy.. You know that we will get her back." She rubbed his back and he nodded, "I know, but… I still feel so awful. I hope, she knows that I care," he leaned against a control panel and held his hands, looking down as Kimberly smiled, "I'm sure she does,"
As for Adam, he was standing there, thinking about Amber and can't get her out of his head, remembering their last moment… Last? He hoped not.
Aisha then had a question and looked up at Zordon, "But why would they want her anyway, Zordon?" she asked, "I don't know, Aisha, but whatever the intentions may be, it's not good," he answered.
At The Lair
It was a dark area where Amber was, it had mist on the floor, surrounding her feet and her arms were in chains, eyes opened slowly, seeing nothing but a dark room before seeing Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa walk in, "Well done, my husband," she congratulated.
Lord Zedd was being rubbed on his face by Rita and Amber looked at them with a disgusted face, "Jeez, get a room," she groaned.
They looked at her with a grin, "She has a big mouth," Rita observed, "Much like yours," Lord Zedd said and Rita hit him in the chest while Amber chuckled a bit, before looking about with her eyes, "Why am I here?" she asked, very calm about this whole kidnapping-ordeal.
Lord Zedd looked at Amber, "Do you know who the Rangers are?" he asked with a grin, "If I did, I wouldn't tell you," her eyes narrowed, "We already know your boyfriend is," Rita replied, "We know all their identities. And now, we will show you," she looked at Zedd who showed her through a mirror much like Adam was shown regret by Goldar, but it revealed the Rangers.
Her eyes widen, "Tommy a-and Aisha… and Kimberly and… Rocky, Billy!" she exclaimed, not angry at all that her brother kept the secret, it was a hard burden to bare and she felt awful for yelling at him earlier that day.
They thought their plan was going to work but Amber looked at the two, "They will come for me and when they do, I hope I'm there to see your behinds whooped!" she struggled against the chains then Rita put her staff to her neck, "Be quiet, that's not all we have for you," she grinned and the Vinerals monster came in, looking at Amber then he wrapped his vines around her, draining her energy and making her weak, if it stayed there too long, she would die.
Amber's eyes kept opened, "They wi-will come, you'll s-see,"
Lord Zedd touched her neck, the energy drain not effecting him, "Tommy will return to the dark side and we'll have you to thank," he grinned while she looked confused, "T-the dark s-side?" she asked, getting hard to keep awake and Rita explained it.
Amber smiled, "That's my Tommy, always fighting…" she whispered, eyes closed now.
"That's enough for now, Vinerals," said Lord Zedd and the monster detached itself from Amber's body, before walking out with Rita since he wanted to be alone with Amber.
He shocked her with his staff, "Ahhh!" she yelled in pain while he grinned, "Perfect,"
At The Command Center
Two hours have gone by, but Billy needed one more to open the portal.
The alert went off and Zordon said, "There's something coming through the viewing globe," they all looked seeing Amber hanging from chains as Lord Zedd looked straight at them, "Hello Rangers, As you can see I got Amber here," he grinned.
Tommy's eyes widen, seeing how bad Amber looked, the shock bolt from Lord Zedd's staff caused her clothes to look like they have been torn a little, "Am-Amber.." he slowly said as Kimberly placed her hand on his shoulder.
Lord Zedd grinned, "Now, listen carefully, I will give her back if the White Ranger joins the dark side again!" he exclaimed, laughing.
"T-Tommy… d-don't d-do it…" came Amber's soft voice as it cracked slightly. How did she know?
He looked at her, "Shut up, you worthless bag of wits!" he shot another electric bolt at her and she screamed wholeheartedly as the others watched in horror and helplessness, "Oh and another thing, she knows all of your identities," the plan kind of back fired on Zedd because he wanted her to hate Tommy, not love him more for what he does.
Tommy looked at it, "Leave her alone!" he yelled at the viewing globe but had a pretty good idea that Lord Zedd couldn't hear, "I-We got to get to her," Adam said standing there, his own heartbreaking, feeling like that he could of protect her better and that it was his fault.
Aisha, Rocky, Billy and Kimberly were feeling pretty horrible about Amber, just as much as Tommy and Adam were.
"Come to the lair when you have accepted defeat," he cut it off.
Tommy growled, "No!" he almost grabbed the viewing globe but Kimberly stopped him and he looked down, punching above the controls, having that angry evil look in his eyes, 'What have I done? My own sister kidnapped by Lord Zedd! When I get my hands you…' he didn't know what to do except go to the fortress and get her back.
hewhoreaps: Yeah.. I wasn't exactly going down that route as you thought. xD I hope I didn't disappoint. and I wanted Amber to meet Zordon but I don't know how I'm going to fit that in, as I said to smiley smiles 202, parts of these chapters will be possibly re-written when it's done. I don't think it can get better than it already is, but some parts to me just need adjusting.
smiley smiles 202: Thank you and I'm glad you are enjoying it. Although, I think it could use a few touch ups and re-writings here and there, which I might do in the future but it'll do for now.
dguice: Thank you very much. I'm glad you still like it and I hope you still do after this chapter.
