A/N: What up ranger fans SDR back finally with more Adventures for those ranger bad girls Creed and Selena. Now this chapter takes up about week after the last one and still has a dark tone to it and will see Selena deal with the trauma of what happened last time so lets go

No Sleep Till Canada

"Ashley look at me its me Selena your friend you don't want to do this. You don't want to be a monster like her you're better than that." Selena said hoping she'd reached the girl.

"No its the only way," Ashley said slowly turning the gun towards her chest. "I have to do this to make it stop,"

"No!" Selena screamed a split second before Ashley pulled the trigger and fell to the ground. Ending her pain and her life. "No not this again," she said as the image of Ashley ending her life replayed for what seemed the billionth time in her subconscious.

Then as she held Ashley's limp lifeless body the vibrant walls of the coffee shop became the cold gray walls off a prison cell. Selena's clothes changed into a standard issue orange prison scrubs and Ashley's body turned to dust. "Ashley no," Selena said as she took in her surroundings "No! No! NOT HERE! ANYWHERE! BUT HER!" she screamed as she pounded at the wall

"Welcome home Selena," A voice from behind her said sending an eerie chill down her body.

Selena turned and was greeted w8ithe fact the owner of the voice was herself. But no not herself she saw the evil I and hatred in her eyes the sinister grin. And the black leather outfit. No this was not Selena but rather who'd she had been this was Sala.

"Guess the little bitch really isn't good at being a hero," said another voice. A male one this time.

Selena looked up to see the sinister face of her stepfather Michael. The man who not only stole her innocence and virginity. But the man who had triggered her plunge into darkness all those years ago. Seeing him standing next to Sala made Selena's eyes flood with tears and her insides contract into giant boy scout knots as suddenly Selena found herself naked inside the cell.

"I bet I know what the little slut's good for," another voice said a female one this said.

Selena looked up and saw Christy. The girl who had taken sadistic pleasure in raping and beating her every chance she got. The sinister looks amongst the trio of horror's faces filled her with fear and made her already knotted insides grow tighter. She felt the knots grow doubly tighter when she caught her reflection in her evil self's eyes and saw she was no longer in her twenty one year old appearance. No now she was once again the terrified fourteen year old girl she had been all those years ago. Out of no where the cell doors disappeared and Selena found herself bound spread eagled on the floor of the cell. The three figures over her removing articles of clothing the faces mask of sadistic lust.

"Come on lets show the little cunt what she's really good for," Sala said as she and her two companions closed in on her

"NO PLEASE NO! NO NO ! …..

"NO!," Selena said as she was flung forward her head barely missing the dash board as creed slammed onto the breaks making the truck come to a sudden stop.

"Sel baby you ok?" Creed said leaning over to place a had on Selena's shoulder. Only to have the brunette draw away like she'd been burned.

"I'm fine Creed, " Selena groaned rubbing the spot on her head "Just a bump"

"Yeah but just let me….," Creed started.

"I said I'm fine!," Selena snapped. She'd been doing it a lot over the past few days following the events in Delta. At night when she wasn't driving she'd sleep and wake up screaming from the nightmares. Only to have try to Creed comfort her. Only to push her away. Admittedly she didn't want to push her girlfriend away but she didn't trust herself to be vulnerable as she felt it was her vulnerability that lead to the incident and now left her doubting her abilities as a ranger. "I'm sorry it's just."

"It's ok Lena really," Creed said pulling the truck back on the road. Still a little hurt by Selena's actions. Hurt but she understood perfectly she herself had her own demons that needed to be worked through at times and knew full well of her lovers nightmares and the effect they had on her.

"Where are we anyway?," Selena asked the mild throbbing in her head beginning to cease.

"About fifteen minutes outside of Rivergate," Creed said as she continued to push the truck down the Canadian highway.

Rivergate Canada was a small mountain city about half the size of Angel Grove. It had been one of the girl's favorite places to visit over the year following a mission given to them by Kimberly Hart leader of the power ranger special forces corps in the beginning of their travels. The mission had been a relatively simple one find out what had been going on with a recent disappearances of a few members of a local Native tribe. The tribe it self were actually skin walkers who'd transform at will into Sasquatches. Creed and Selena had found that a few members had by captured poachers and forced to fight like gladiators. The duo then helped lead a rescue mission freeing the captured tribes people. As a reward Creed and Selena were granted honorary status into the tribe and said they were always welcome in Rivergate. An Invitation they have renewed twice this being the third.

"Can we stop for food when we get there," Selena asked her voice perking up a bit.

"Sure we need to check in with Kori anyway," Creed said. "So where would you like to go?" she asked already half knowing the answer.

"Jill's Place ," Selena said enthusiastically. As the local establishment had fast become a favorite place of Selena's in their travels although for reasons other than why Creed thought.

"Anything you say doll," Creed said light heartedly. "So you wanna talk about it?" she asked nonchalantly.

"Talk about what?," Selena said knowing the answer full well.

"I don't know how about that the past few nights you've been waking up screaming like someone's been trying to kill you," Creed said sarcastically.

"Ughh you know about my nightmares," Selena said truthfully. As Creed had known of her girlfriend's nightmare's even before they had begun their romantic relationship.

"Yeah just that you have them and they're about your past," Creed aid with a sigh. "I just wish you'd let me in,"

"Creed I don't like talking about my past," Selena said defensively " and besides not like you tell me everything about your past," she said matter of factlly

"What haven't I told you?," Creed said a bit of annoyance in her voice.

"Why don't you reach out to your parents for starters," Selena said snidely.

"Hey my parents and use that term loosely want nothing to do with me. Hell they pretty much dropped me off with my aunt till I was old enough to watch myself while they went off somewhere," Creed said obviously irritated.

"Ergh! Lets just get to this get to the dinner already," Selena said becoming more annoyed at by her girl friend.

"Fine!," Creed said turning up Tupac's Hail Marry to near deafening levels.

A short while later the two rangers found themselves in a booth at Jill's place. Selena well into her second stack of strawberry pancakes with maple syrup and bananas. As Creed polished of another vanilla chocolate shake and chili cheese curly fries. The air pregnant with between the two in the wake of the fight the two had in the car. Both knew that each had made valid points but neither really wanting to be the one to say sorry first. But both knew it had to be said.

"Hey Sel about back in the truck," Creed said attempting to make an apology. "Its just I want to you know make the bad things better."

Selena let out a sigh and said "You know why I like this place?"

"Hot waitresses," Creed said half jokingly.

"No strawberry pancakes," Selena said her voice getting bit of sadness to it. "My mom always used to make me strawberry pancakes with chopped up bananas. If I felt bad if I got good grades. Just in general really cause they were my favorite," she continued her voice growing sadder. "Whenever I eat these it makes me feel better and reminds me of before…."

"Before the rape," Creed said getting a nod from Selena. Creed took her girlfriend's hand in hers. "Baby if that's what the dreams it won't happen I won't let it."

"Creed the dreams aren't about the rape they're bout Ashley," Selena said gripping Creed's hand tightly

"Ashley?," Creed asked just before the building and shattering the front glass of the restaurant.

The duo looked up and saw a hoard of foot soldiers with yellow, green skin and teal black hair. Each wearing leather pants and carrying trident like weapon as they began to rampage through the town. The mass of people fleeing at their sight.

"Well looks like we wont have to wait around this time huh babe," Creed said somewhat sarcastic.

"Yeah looks like," Selena said trying to hide her uneasy nerves.

" Lets go," Creed said Making a run for the door her girlfriend hot on her heels.

Within seconds the two rangers were fighting off the foot soldiers as best they could in civilian form. Selena using her telekinesis and martial arts skills. With Creed doing her best using purely her cunning and martial arts. As they fought back against the foot solders. Fending them off somewhat successfully the girls ears were bombarded by an ear piercing sonic scream disorienting them and bringing them to their knees. Shaking off the effects the duo looked up and saw pale skinned dark haired girl dressed in a goth styled black and white min dress with a ruffled skirt standing in the middle of the soldiers.

"Well the mighty power rangers allow me to introduce my name is Vella and I'm here to kill you," The villaness said be for unleashing another potent scream blasting the girls backward.

"Ugh ready," Selena said spitting out a small stream of blood as she drew her morpher and picked herself up.

"Ehh Yeah,," Creed said picking herself up as well. "GEM CHARGE!," She said drawing her morpher as well "PHANTOM POWER!" she yelled shifting into her phantom ranger form.

"ZETA STORM RANGER FORM!," Selena called getting no result still remaining her civilian form

"Sel what's…..," Creed said just as Vella released yet another sonic scream. This one disorienting Creed and sending an unmorphed Selena ricocheting brick wall onto the hood of a car.

"Oh what's the matter poor whittle ranger can't morph," Vella mocked getting a sinister smirk. " Finish them," she said sending the hoard of her troops to attack them.

Creed quickly drew her sword and laser and began to fire and slash at the trop. Doing her best to keep the troops from a downed and unmorphed Selena. Who was struggling to pick herself up the hood of the car. "Sel what's wrong why can't you morph!," Creed said shielding her downed lover

"I,I,I don't know!," Selena stammered trying to pick herself up

"Well try it again I'm not sure how much longer I can hold them off," Creed said using her blaster to fend off Vella's multiplying troops.

"Ugh Zeta Storm ranger Form!," Selena yelled this time only managing to morph but only holding her morphed form for only a few moments before reverting back to civilian form and collapsing.

"How pitiful Vykor should be ashamed to have been bested by such excuses for warriors," Vella said as she prepared unleash another demolishing cry.

Just as Vella was about to open her mouth she found herself knocked back with brute force. Shaking off the stunning affect of the blow she looked up to see a hulking dark brown furred Sasquatch. A sasquatch that quickly helping Creed disperse of the troops. Before scooping up and carrying Selena off.

"What the …ahh!" Vella yelled getting cut off by a blast from Creeds phantom laser.

"That was a friend of mine, luckly he came by when he did to even the playing field," Creed said. "Now lets get this over with I have to check on my woman," Creed said before charging at Vella her sword out held out in front of her.

Vella quickly drew two sickle like weapons and deflected the blow of Creeds sword. The two quickly going into a close corners dual. Matching metal for metal until reaching a quick stalemate . "Egghh you're good girlie but not that good," Vella said as she pushed the blade of Creed's rapier back towards the ranger's face.

"Actually Vella I just needed you to get close," Creed said drawing her blaster.

"UGHH!," Vella groaned being knocked back by the blast. Vella picked herself up scowled at the ranger. "I'll be back ranger," she said before teleporting away

"Power down ," Creed said demorphing herself, "now to see how Sel is."

Deep in the Canadian back country creed found herself driving or rather speeding into a reservation. Reservation home to one of the forgotten native American tribes. A tribe of shape shifters with the ability to change into the mythical sasquatch. But most of all it was a village of friends. One of those friends who Creed was looking for.

"Jackson!," Creed said hopping out of her truck and scanning the area for who she sought.

"Creed over here," Came the voice of Jackson Brave-Star as he ran up to Creed in only his shorts and bare feet. Jackson when not in his sasquatch seemed to resemble a Native American version of David but mainly attitude wise. But still Creed saw traces of her friend.

"Where is she," Creed asked running up to Jackson barely stopping as she did.

"She's at my grandma's ," Jackson said watching her take off towards his grandmothers cottage before he could truly finish his sentence. "Hey how about a good work Jackson or Thanks for help and saving girlfriend Jackson," he said following her.

A few minutes later Creed and Jackson burst through the door of his grand mother's cottage. They then followed the smell of the strong herbs to the back room where they saw a bandaged Selena lying in a bed as Jackson's grandmother Chanted and waved sage over her

"How is she grandmother," Jackson asked.

"Healing grandson not resting but Healing," Jackson's grandmother said.

"What do you mean Mrs. Brave-Star," Creed asked puzzled as it seemed Selena was sleeping

"Her sprit child her sprit is in great pain," Mrs. Brave -Star said. "This one carries great pain a great and heavy pain."

"She's had a hard life and about a week or so ago there was a girl who was being bullied and well she ended up killing herself and Selena had become attached to her and well," Creed began to explain.

"I couldn't save her," Selena said coming around "I failed her," she continued tears streaming down her face.

"Jackson could you give us a moment," Creed said.

"Sure come on Grandmother," Jackson said as he and escorting his grandmother out of the room.

"Shh, its ok baby it wasn't your fault," Creed said crawling into the bed and taking Selena into her arms.

"Yes it was… I was her friend….I should've done more," Selena said breaking down into tears and clutching Creed for dear lif her strength fading as she did.

"Baby we can't save everyone," Creed said in the most comforting tone possible as she delivered the hard truth of there profession. As well as calling on her own personal experience. "Think of all the battles and all the rangers over the years even they couldn't save everyone."

"Then why do we fight why do we even try?" Selena asked her state of consciousness fading quickly

"To keep the world safe for those we do," Creed said as Selena drifted off to sleep in her arms. Once she was sure Selena was sleeping she quickly ran to her truck and retrived her lap top.

Once inside and settled she quickly opened the secret web connection to video chat with their advisor Kori. Koriander or Kori Ake had been a successful help to the couple since taking up the long term mission Billy Cranston the original blue ranger had given them. And Creed hoped the seemingly genius young lady could offer help with her girlfriend's loss of morphing ability.

"You rang?," asked Kori as she appeared on the computer screen dressed in one of what seemed to be a seemingly endless collection of anime and indy wrestling tee shirts and jeans. "Jeeze Creed you look like hell," the young scientist said bluntly.

"Yeah had a run in with a chick named Vella really bad news," Creed said rubbing her shoulder. " Hey have there been any problems with the morphing grid?," the blonde ranger asked.

"No none that I've found why?," Kori asked curiously

"Because during our fight Sel couldn't morph and took the brunt of the attack," Creed explained the sadness echoing in her voice.

"Hmm it could be a mental thing," Kori said.

"Mental?" Creed asked raising an eybrow.

"Yeah see the Phantom ruby aswell as all other morphers be they magic or tech based run off the universal morphing grid. The Daxamite morphers run practically off the main grid and a second grid that makes Selena's morpher more psychically connected to her. Meaning that if she's under some kind of great stress or simply lost her will to be a ranger she may not be able to morph," Kori explained using her knowledge of the universal morphing grid.

"Then that's it then after what happened in Delta," Creed said regretfully. Feeling the pain her girlfriend felt.

"That may…," Kori asked getting cut off by a loud screech shattering the window thecottage. "Wh…wh..what was that?," she asked the signal breaking up

"Bad company," Creed said slamming her laptop shut and drawing her Phantom gem as she bolted from the bed. "Jackson!" she called just the young boy rounded the corner already changing into his Sasquatch form. Creed herself was already in her Phantom armor by the time they hit the front porch seeing Vella and her soldiers.

"Well the phantom and the monkey," Vella said her arrogance perfuming every word she said. "Lets get this done shall we," the villainous vixen said as she drew her sickle like weapon.

"Couldn't have said it better myself," Creed said drawing her sword as she and Jackson charged into the fray

Meanwhile inside Selena tossed and turned as she once again as she entered her own tortured mind. As she found herself in yet another hellish nightmare.

Selena's Dream:

Selena found herself naked tied spread eagle on a bed of jagged glass as her step father brutally raped her. Each brutal thrust her step father made inside of her she screamed in agony as back was torn open over and over by the glass and her insides torn by her stepfather's manhood. But what hurt more were the sadistic smiles that her mirror image of herself Sala and Ashley had on their faces as they looked on.

"Do you think she's had enough Ashley," Sala asked Ashley a smug smile on her face

" No she never will," Ashley said smiling just as smugly as Selena's evil double.

"You herd her Michael rip her apart," Sala said a sadistic gleam in her eyes.

"Glady….. Uggh little whore is tighter than her mom ever was," Michael said slamming harder into her.

"AGHHHHH STOPP!," Selena screamed in pure agony. She could feel the blood dripping down her back and her insides being torn a sunder by Michael's invading member. Her cries growing more and more horrid with each stroke. But in the midst of all the torment calling to her from the shadows of her mind.

"You can end this you can stop it," the familiar voice said. "You have the anger you have the power to end your suffering. Embrace your rage embrace your darkness and use it!"

With those words Selena's eye began to glow crimson red and a black aura surrounded her body. And with all her new found strength she broke the bonds and screamed enough! Releasing a wave of black energy flooding the room vaporizing the table as well as Michael. When the blast cleared she stood over a now cowering Sala in white version of the outfit evil double was wearing. Holding her sword ready for the killing blow.

"Do it kill me you dumb bitch!," Sala said the venom oozing from her voice. "You can kill me all you want I and the rest of your demons will still be here to remind you of just what a failure you truly are."

"She's right you know," the familiar voice said.

Curious to see the owner Selena looked up and was understandably shocked, "Tyson!" Seeing the young man who she trained and had once wore her ranger colors standing before her wearing the outfit she'd seen him wear in the sprit realm. "So you think I'm a failure too you think I'll fail everyone like I failed Ashley," Selena said tears bubbling to the surface of her eyes.

"You didn't fail Ashley," Tyson said.

"Yes I did I was her friend! I should've done more. I should've saved her," Selena said weeping.

"One life! One single life out of what thousands or millions on both sides of the coin," Tyson said attempting to drive home a point. "You and I both know what it's like to be evil and to fight on the side of good. You have killed millions as Sala and saved millions as yourself. But don't you see you treat Sala and all the bad things in your past that you've done or have had done to you as simply happening to Sala alone don't you see you're the same one person good and bad, light and dark. Until you accept it and truly embrace the darkness as part of you she will always have power to torture you," Tyson said bluntly.

"I don't want to be her I don't ever want to be her again!," Selena cried her fury boiling over.

"You won't become Sala but in order to move past this you have to forgive yourself for everything." Tyson said.

With those words Selena did the only thing she could see herself doing. She dropped her sword and knelt until she was eye level with Sala. She looked into the eyes of her dark self and said,"I forgive you", she then embraced her former self.

End of Dream:

Creed fell to the ground in pain as Vella unleashed yet another close range sonic blast. Her ears were ringing making her disoriented she could feel them bleeding inside her helmet and she could hardly bring herself to stand as she struggled to get to her feet to once again stand against Vella. "Is….is that all you got," Creed said.

"You really think your bravado impresses me phantom," Vella chided just before unleashing a sonic shreek that knocked Creed out of her morphed form.

"Ughh shit!," Creed groaned clutching the sides of her head in pain.

said

"Now time to get rid of y….Ahhhhh!," Vella yelled as three black fireballs hit her in the back knocking her end over end coming to stop a few feet behind Creed.

"You really think you were just gonna fight one of us," Selena tossing a fireball in her hand as she stepped in front of Creed her eyes glowing crimson.

"You …. You think you can beat me weakling," Vella said picking herself up and drawing her sickle.

"Sel…. baby can you?," Creed asked her voice pained.

"Yeah see before I was holding back. In fact I've been holding back for awhile scared of what I might become but no more. Now lets see what happens with no restrictions," Selena her body glowing with the crimson and black aura as she drew her morpher. "QUASAR STORM ZETA FORM!" She said morphing into her ranger form.

"QUASAR ELIMINATOR SWORD MODE!" Selena roared calling her sword. "BLACK FLAME BUSTER," she said driving her swoard blade first into the ground causing what looked to be an earthquake of to erupt from the ground and knock Vella off her feet.

"That's it," Vella said as she went for yet another sonic scream, but finding herself only able to cough up blood. It was then she noticed her throat had been cut along her vocal chord. "Ho..ho..how?"

"My flame acts as an extension of my blade and since I can control it mentaly I had it slit your throat and now I'm gonna kill you ugly ," Selena explained. "QUASAR ELIMINATOR RIFLE MODE!," she said changing her weapon into its gun mode. "GARGOYLE'S FURY!," she yelled as she pulled the trigger firing a plasma blast that took on the form of a giant gargoyle before hitting Vella and rendering her nothing more than dust and ash. "Power down!," Selena said demorphing "You ok baby" she said helping Creed to her feet.

"Uggh I've been better" Creed said shaking away the cobb webs in her head. " What about you are you ok" she asked seeing the crimson glow fade from her girlfriend's eyes.

"No but I will be. With time I will be," she said pulling Creed into a hug.

A few days later:

"So where are you guys headed next." Jackson asked as he helped Creed and Selena load their truck.

"Ocean Bluff a bit of a mini vacation since Kori says the rangers there don't report any riffs there," Selena said. "And if anyone deserves a vacation its us,"

"Yeah just the beach me and my girl," Creed said putting a cigarette into her mouth.

"Not to mention I plan on banging this one's brains out," Selena said grabbing Creed's butt playfully as the blonde lit her cigarette.

" I like the way you think," Creed said closing the door to the trailer, and moving towards the driver's side door

"Well in that case this is by for now," Jackson said taking both girl's hands.

"Take it easy Jacks," Selena said pulling him into a hug.

"Yeah man be safe," Creed said doing the same.

"You two my sister's , and remember you always have a place here," Jackson said.

"We will Jackson we will," Creed said. And with that the couple entered their vehicle and drove into the sunset.

AN: That's it for this chapter. I know I know months and months of waiting sorry but it was worth it right. Anyway with some tech and personal problems and work its been hard to right but I'm back hopfully for good. So as always peace and blessings SDR out but before I go two things I have to address a year ago I promoted and began reading a story called Skin Deep by Bensonfan711 now I left so reviews stating that at the time I found that the story was pushing the limits f sadism for the sake of drama to far also and went got a bit too trigger happy with the N-word. And for stating my opinion not only do I get blocked from reviewing but get my reviews deleted and get called a pervert for because of my sex scenes and told I can only get readers by by saying my stories have sex. One if you look at my page The Path Of the Arch Angel is my highest reviewed story and contains no sexual content what so ever. Also my second third highest are my WLTV stories again no sex! That means I'm just good. Two if you don't like being criticized DON'T POST ONLINE. Second thing I want to address is a coward named RAY LEGEND a year ago days before my beloved little sister passed away I asked my fans for prayers . And just two weeks ago Ray LEGEND left a review saying your slut sister is going to die and go to hell in a guest review. This makes him the second person to do some thing like this about my sister since she died. And to Ray Legend and the other jerk who did that I sincerely hope that your sister mother or lover dies a horrible painful death and you have no choice but to watch so you no the pain me my mom felt last year sorry for saying it but its what I feel and I hope my fans forgive me SDR Out
