The Phoenix Series
Lightspeed Rescue: The Phoenix Prophecy
By xXxKaraBeckerCutterxXx
A/N: Oh; how will Sabrina react to the Cyborg Rangers?
Cyborg Rangers
"...Lightening strikes away!" a rumbling low growl echoed throughout the street of Mariner Bay, a dark gold demon threw out his hands as three spikes embedded themselves in the side of a building wall, and conducted the flow of the Lightening from above in the dark storm clouds that had rolled in from seemingly no where. People screamed and ran in terror, as the Rangers run towards them herding them to safety. "Batlings attack!" the monster commanded, once the Rangers had gotten the last of the people out.
The Rangers met the Batlings head on; punches and kicks were thrown in different directions but the foot soldiers were nothing. Carter on the other hand had gone head to head with the monster, and was being attacked from right, left and centre; before he was jabbed in the shoulder with the monsters staff and thrown backwards into the rubble of the destroyed building. A group of people still stood behind the rangers, huddled together for protection, but the Rangers paid them little attention as they regrouped and huddled together in front of the monster.
"Power Rangers!" he growled out "I see you want more!"
And several spikes hit the ground at their feet, before a strand of Lightening was shot down from the darkening sky and exploded the ground beneath them. As the fire died, each of the six rangers lay in various positions on the ground. Even Sabrina groaned in pain as she rolled over onto her stomach and looked up through her visor. This guy was brutal, his attacks came within milliseconds of one another, not even her she could withstand that punishment and protect herself. She didnt have the energy...and neither did the Phoenix.
"You rangers are pathetic!" the monster growled as he trudged forwards, and stood over Carter; he rolled the red ranger over onto his back and held his staff to his throat "Now to finish what I was sent here to do!" he raised his staff with every intention of slashing it down at Carter, but was deflected backwards by a energy blast to the chest.
Sabrina frowned and looked around "What was that?" she questioned, evidently coming up empty handed
"Where did that come from?" Carter asked, also looking around as he and the others got unsteadily to one knee; each holding their shoulders. Sabrina pushed herself up onto both her knees as a six multi-coloured spandex wearing things approached them. They each wore a colour of one of the rangers, except for their boots and gloves were in Black while the original rangers were white, and there was a strange device on their chests and head. "Guys! Look!" Carter stated
"It can't be!" the monster growled, also noticing them
Kelsey turned to Dana "Do you know anything about other Rangers?" she asked
"Uh-huh" the Pink ranger shook her head
The monster picked himself up from the ground "I'll destroy you all!" he growled and run forward, past the Original team and straight at the new ones. When he was close enough the second Red ranger stopped his attack and pushed him backwards. The 2nd Pink and Yellow rangers then flipped over their leader and planted double kicks in the monsters chest, as the 2nd Green and Blue rangers spun around and kicked out sending the monster to the ground. He growled, before the 2nd Red ranger picked him up with ease and pushed him backwards as the 2nd Scarlet ranger flipped over forwards, before sending the monster stumbling away with a blast of fire from its palms.
"This isn't over," the monster growled, as he picked himself up once more and disappeared.
The original team of rangers cheered in respect for their counterparts before rushing forward to meet them "Impressive move. Guys," Chad stated as he stood in front of his blue ranger counterpart.
"But where did they come from?" Sabrina frowned, looking around at her team. She was confused on how her counterpart could throw fire, when her powers came from the Phoenix. There was only one Phoenix in existence and she was it! So how was this possible?
Her answer came in the form of someone clearing their throats; they turned in the direction of the noise to see a man standing behind them holding a large controller. "Hello," he drawled
"Hi," Carter responded "Who are they?"
"They are the Cyborg Rangers," the man answered
"Their robots?" Sabrina questioned
The man nodded "Indeed they are," and he played around with the controls in front of him "Return to Base!" he stated into the mic and the robots moved forward.
"Wait," Carter called "What's going on?"
"Excuse me" the man responded
"At least tell us who you are?" Sabrina called out
The man stopped and turned in her direction "My name is Doctor Harlan," he stated "Now if you'll excuse me" and he followed after the Cyborg rangers and climbed into a black SUV that was waiting. The car started moving and soon they disappeared.
-Scene-
After the meeting with the Cyborg Rangers; the Lightspeed team returned to base. The Humvee was docked once more in the transport bay, as the six rangers hopped out ready to find Ms. Fairweather and Captain Mitchell to ask about the new team of Rangers which had clearly saved their butts in battle today.
"Captain Mitchell," Carter stated, when the two in question stepped into the transport bay "You're incredible"
Joel nodded "Yeah; and with you're new Cyborgs on the team, Diabolico don't stand a chance"
"The Cyborgs aren't here to join you," said an unfamiliar voice from to the Ranger's left; eight heads turned in the direction and found themselves face to face with an older gentleman wearing a US army uniform "their here to replace you!" he stated
It was like someone had dropped a bucket of ice water over every occupant of Lightspeed "Replace us?" Sabrina frowned
"Sir," Captain Mitchell began as he walked forward "This is a mistake!"
"I dont think so Captain," the General responded "You saw them yourself; they saved these...Kids!"
Sabrina's jaw dropped, who the hell did this guy think he was?
"What were you thinking Bill?" the General continued "They could never defeat Diabolico and his evils"
"Meaning what, General McKnow-it-all?" Joel asked, bringing an amused grin to Sabrina's face.
Kelsey nodded "Yeah, you wanna see how tough we are?" she asked stepping forward
"How about I serve up some General Soufflé?" Sabrina asked
Captain Mitchell turned in the Rangers direction "Quiet!" he ordered
Kelsey and Sabrina exchanged looks, sighed in defeat and fell back away from the front of the line. Sabrina dropping her hand to her side, as she felt the heat disappear from her palm. The General turned to the two girls "The Cyborg Rangers are able to observe and predict an opponent's movement with a high degree of accuracy; they're much more effective and more durable than you will ever be!"
Sabrina's eyes narrowed somewhat slightly at the General, someone needs an attitude adjustment she found herself thinking, before she noticed the Cyborg Rangers over the General's shoulders. Doctor Harlan had returned with his Computer replicas. The General must have known they were there because he didnt look up as he uttered his next words.
"You are relieved," he told the team of six "of you're duties. When promoted, please turn over your jackets and morphers." he snapped his cane in the air as an official behind him walked forward and held up a suitcase, opened it and revealed the six slots for the morphers. Another official then grabbed Chad's arm, as the blue ranger reacted, but grabbing his. He looked up at Captain Mitchell who shook his head, to indicate that they should just listen and obey.
The Rangers sighed as Chad removed his morpher and handed it over along with his Lightspeed jacket. The two men moved down the line, each ranger handing over their morphers and jackets. Dana, Carter, Kelsey and Chad did so dutifully, the looks on their faces down righted disheartened. When the men stopped in front of Joel, he reached for his morpher, and gave Angela strained puppy-dog eyes, causing the woman to turn away tearfully; he sighed and placed his own morpher in the case and removed his jacket.
Then it was Sabrina's turn; one of the men reached for her morpher as she withdrew her hand and glared at him "Sabrina," Captain Mitchell stated, and the red head glanced across at him. The look on his face was clearly telling her 'now-is-not-the-time-to-argue' she sighed and removed her morpher as she placed it in the case. When the case had been closed on her morpher she turned in the direction of General McKnight and Doctor Harlan.
"I honestly hope you understand what you're placing in motion, sir" she sneered "Maybe one of these days, you'll understand!"
General McKnight stared down at her "The Cyborg Rangers are the future of Lightspeed Rescue!" he stated "Diabolico won't know what hit him!" and with that, the soldiers ushered the old Rangers out of the base. As they passed the General and Doctor, Sabrina glared at each of them, before passing a glance at Angela and Captain Mitchell. Ms. Fairweather turned away from the red heads look and attempted to busy herself with something else. This was too hard to watch. They had barely been a team for long than a couple of weeks and they were already being replaced.
"Sir, as for the Zords," Doctor Harlan spoke as the old team were lead out "I can either remote-control them as well, or I could just write some programs to have the Cyborg Rangers operate them. As far as the rest of the equipment, including that battered old bird Zord," he stated, referring to the Phoenix Zord "Well, we can simply just scrap it and use the materials for our next couple of projects"
At the revelation of her Phoenix being destroyed, Sabrina stopped head in her tracks and turned in a semi-circle a protest rising to her lips "Excuse -" she started, but was cut off as a soldier pushed her roughly around and down the corridor. Soon they came to the gates of the base and were allowed access out
"Have a nice day now," the soldiers told them before the gates clanged shut behind them.
Sabrina growled "Have a nice day?" she yelled "Are you kidding me?"
"Come on," Carter sighed, placing his hand on her shoulder and leading her away from the gates "There's nothing we can do now"
xXx
Hunter frowned at the computerized robots in front of him; these things were replacing Sabrina and the others as the new defenders of the city. What did that mean for Sabrina and him for that matter? He was only here because Sabrina was here, if she was being forced out of Lightspeed Rescue and even considered moving back to Reefside, then he wasnt going to stay down here; he was going with her. He only agreed to come work here because it meant being with her. That's why she had suggested him. Ms. Fairweather walked alongside him as she approached the Green Cyborg Ranger with a scanner.
"Im guessing Sabrina wasnt remotely happy, when she was lead out?" Hunter questioned looking up at the brunette
Angela shook her head "No," she answered "Neither of them were; but she seemed on edge and jumpy"
"Yeah," Hunter nodded "There's proper reason for that"
"The Phoenix?" Ms. Fairweather asked, she smiled at the shocked look on his face "I know all about the Phoenix, Hunter. Hayley; she is an old college friend of mine. We kept in contact over the years, and I was one of the few people she told when she found out she was pregnant with Sabrina. Im also one of the few people she has told about her daughter being the protector of the Legendary Phoenix." She explained "That is why I requested she be brought in as the sixth Ranger for the Lightspeed team. Not only that, but she understands the concepts of a Ranger team. She will be able to teach the others through her skills and training"
Hunter nodded in understanding "I wouldnt know about training," he added "she's still further behind than the rest of us"
"But she has been practicing for the last two years hasn't she?" Angela asked
"And still is in training," the blonde added "but she's been excused to come here and help Lightspeed Rescue. You were lucky to have her and the other Rangers"
Angela nodded "Yes. We were," she agreed
"Impressive, aren't they?" the voice of General McKnight had joined the conversation. He was standing with his hands behind his back, behind Hunter. The older blonde turned in the General's direction as he took a few steps backwards, until he was level with Ms. Fairweather.
"Very," Angela agreed
"Platinum Alloy skin," General McKnight went onto explain "Night vision. Heat sensitive targeting. Every millimetre programmed to perfection"
Ms. Fairweather didnt even smile "Truly impressive!" she stated "but I fear they are missing something"
"And what would that be?" General McKnight questioned
"The one thing you can't program!" Hunter intervened, looking across at the Cyborg Rangers. Cam and Ethan would probably have a field day if they were here, but even they would agree with him on this statement "A Heart!" and with that said, he turned and left the transport bay, returning to work. Angela nodded in agreement with him, before she too left.
xXx
The park wasn't that far away from the Aqua base, the Rangers went there first as they digested everything that had just happened. They were relieved of battle after only a couple of weeks together. This was not fair! General McKnight couldnt do this to them, they were the Power Rangers! It was their right to defend the city, not some stupid machines! Okay, so maybe they were flawless, but the whole point of being human was to make mistakes then learn and adapt. That's what they were doing. Robots...well, what could be said about robots. They werent a team like they had been; they didnt have a heart. Anything could have happened in battle and all it took was a few crossed wires and the robots would either be history or turn on the unsuspecting citizens of Mariner Bay.
While the other Rangers relived the fact that they were no longer Rangers, Sabrina chewed her lower lip, wrung her hands and occasionally glanced over her shoulder like she was being watched or followed. She was scared and anxious. She wanted to run back to the Aqua base; if not to be a ranger then to see Hunter. She wanted him to reassure her, tell her that everything was gonna be okay. She wanted him to tell her, that if she wasnt gonna be a ranger anymore, then they would go back to Reefside, she'd complete her Ninja training then they'd move on to the next big thing...whatever that was, but going back to the Aqua base now was a big no-no; and she couldnt contact him because she didnt have her morpher and her cell phone was stuck in her room along with the rest of her items.
Turning around in her step, Sabrina came to a complete halt as she stared at the bay behind her. The clear blue water reflected the sun's rays; it showed no sign of life beneath the waters. No signs of a whole base residing within the water. Running her hands through her hair, Sabrina tilted her head back and stared at the sky. "Why?" she questioned in a low voice. Why was this happening...and why now? The others may have seemingly understood what was happening, they didnt have the rights to their Ranger jobs anymore; it was easy for them they could go back to their previous lives. Be a fireman, paramedic, sky cowboy, work at the sea world and be a rock climber. But her...well, Sabrina...she was a Power Ranger! A Power Ranger was her life! Other than working as a waitress at her mother's Cybercafé, she didnt have another job! This was her job! Being a Power Ranger was a full time commitment and it meant the world to her.
"Hey," Kelsey's voice broke through the red head's concentration and thoughts, bringing her back to reality. Sabrina frowned and turned in her direction "Why did you say that to General McKnight and Doctor Harlan?" she asked "You know, about them knowing what they were setting in motion?"
Sabrina looked away from her friend "Its nothing," she answered "I was just upset that they were relieving us of duty"
The former Yellow ranger shook her head, and placed her hand on Sabrina's shoulder "You know that's not true" she stated "that remark held something behind it! We all saw it! Fear, anxiety!" the others nodded in agreement "and now, you seem on edge. What is it Sabrina?" she asked "You can tell us! We're your friends!"
Looking up at her team, Sabrina sighed. Did she really have a choice? It was either tell them or become stranded in Mariner bay with a horde of demons after her and her powers. Nope...she had to tell them, if not for her safety, then for everyone else's. "Okay," she said quietly, looking down at her hands "I'll tell you!" she looked up "But not here!" Quickly gathering the five other former Rangers, she lead them to a small gazebo, near the centre of the park, running up the three stone steps she leaned back against the white metallic bars and looked around at her friends who stood around her.
"So what is it?" Carter questioned "Why are you so on edge..."
It's now or never... she thought, before taking a deep breath; and diving head first into the pools of truth. "Have you guys ever heard of the Phoenix?" Sabrina asked
Dana nodded "Yeah. Isn't it a Mythtical bird with extraordinary powers?" she asked. Sabrina nodded. "But what's that gotta do with anything?"
"Because..." Sabrina trailed slightly, this hadnt been the way she expected them to find out "Uh; I am the Phoenix!"
"Uh, excuse me," Joel interrupted "What is the Phoenix?"
The red head sighed "As Dana said it is a Mystical bird with extraordinary powers; it's been around for centuries. 10 years ago it was imprisoned into the body of a mortal, who was destined to be the protector. That was me. I was too young at the time to be a Power Ranger, and I didnt even know I was the protector, so I lived my life as a normal teenager."
"Until..." Carter pressed slightly
"Until 2 years ago," Sabrina stated "2 years ago, I moved to Blue Bay Harbour; at the mere age of 16 and got caught up in a world that turned my life upside down. I made friends, enemies and actually learned about my destiny and what I could do. That year I became the first ever Phoenix Power Ranger. I fought for months alongside my friends, destroying monsters and eventually leading up to the final battle against the Villain of that time...Lothor."
"Lothor?" Kelsey frowned
Sabrina nodded "Yeah; he was a rogue Ninja. He was banished from his academy long ago because he was practising Dark Ninja Powers, he has always been bent on World Domination and after years to plan, he returned for revenge on those who banished him in the first place. His brother. My Sensei." She shook her head "But this is beside the point; the point is. Yes, I have seen battle before and yes I know what it is like to be a Power Ranger. When the final battle came around, my friend Cam pulled me out the battle because he feared Lothor would use it as a trap to obtain me and use me against the innocent civilians of Blue Bay Harbour. So I retreated back to our Headquarters."
She breathed deeply before continuing "While there; it proved to be a mistake. You see, I would have been much safer out in Battle, funny enough. Lothor broke into our HQ and destroyed the place. I was so angry at him, because he was destroying everything in view, he tried to destroy my Sensei and Cam one of my best friends. I got so angry that the Phoenix used that energy and broke free. Lothor was pleased...he fuled the anger along before me, him and Cam disappeared."
The others exchanged looks as Sabrina continued her story "I turned on my friends. I fought them; I nearly destroyed them. But Lothor showed his true colours and stole my Ranger powers. But he also threw me out of battle and this gave me enough time to watch the defeat of him through the Phoenix's eyes. My friends then helped me. They encouraged me as I fought against the Phoenix. And I was able to return...but no one knew how long it would last. Well, the year ended with Lothor's destruction and we hoped life would go back to normal."
"But it did," Dana murmured
Sabrina shook her head "No, far from it" she answered "I moved to Reefside after Blue Bay. It held some memories that I didnt want to remember; and im not talking Ranger memories. No these were far more personal." she glanced up at the Pink Ranger, who understood what she was talking about "Anyway. After I moved to Reefside; I accompanied my Uncle Tommy and three students who had been given detention to the museum. While my Uncle Tommy looked for a way to get into the Museum, me, Connor, Kira and Ethan scooped around the forest."
Her story continued "We stumbled across these ancient ruins, but I soon realized that it was beneath my house. But we found our Dino Gems in this place. And together we became Rangers. Connor, Kira and Ethan became the Dino Rangers and I became the Phoenix Ranger once more. I was none to pleased about it either, I didnt want another re-run of what had happened a few months before; a total Phoenix-freak out was not on my 'to-do' list. But I sucked it up. The others needed help, and I was perfect. I knew what to do and how things would turn out. Win-win situation really."
"But im guessing it did turn out like that?" Chad questioned
Sabrina shook her head "No, many obstacles stood in our way; one of which released the Phoenix. Then the one thing I feared the most happened. The Phoenix broke free yet again and took control. I turned on my Dino Ranger friends, nearly annihilated them. On this day however, I had been kidnapped by Scorpina; at least my body had. My spirit was in the spirit world, on a journey that I had to complete. But that's another story. I managed to finish whatever it was I needed to do and returned. I re-possessed my body and took control of the Phoenix. And once more the Phoenix settled. Then the final battle came around once more; Mesogog had managed to get a hold of my Dino Gem and drain its energy; my energy. Since my Dino Gem was connected to my Phoenix."
She breathed yet again "I managed to get it back; but we made a few sacrifices. Our Zords were destroyed. My Phoenix Zord took a beating, as you realized. But we managed to stop Mesogog by combing our Dino Gems and destroying him once and for all. And you know the rest..." she finished.
The others were silent "Wow," Kelsey murmured "That's alot of responsibility"
"Yeah," Sabrina nodded "but it's my destiny. And you're not the only ones who know. Vypra also knows about me; and she says she has big plans for me, they can't possibly end well; as far as me staying in controlling my powers or at least staying alive." she sighed "That's why as you said, im on edge. Im afraid now that we've had our morphers revoked, you guys are gonna go back to the jobs you had before you were rangers; and I'll be stuck here in Mariner bay, with a horde of Demons after me and my powers. If they get their hands on the Phoenix it will be the end of Mariner Bay and the World!"
"What do you mean and the World?" Chad asked
Sabrina sighed "If the Phoenix is in control, she can obliterate this entire planet with a mere thought and flick of her wrist. Ask my past two teams...she isn't someone you want to cross paths with"
The others exchanged looks, somewhat taken aback by the revelation of Sabrina's secret, but Carter seemed somewhat passive "Given your powers," he spoke "and you being able to produce fire at will and with you ability to teleport everywhere. Im guessing it has to be true. This doesn't sound like a story you can make up on the spot."
"Agreed," the others nodded
Kelsey squeezed the red head's shoulder "If we can't fight the demons for you; then we'll help you" she smiled "After all, you were there for us...now we're gonna be there for you"
Sabrina glanced up at the Yellow ranger, and then around at the others as they nodded in agreement, she smiled "Thanks guys"
-Scene-
After the explanation the rangers fell silent, Sabrina turned her back on them clearly surprised that they handled her secret so well, part of her wanted to jump for joy that they hadnt shunned her away and part of her was expecting them to hate her for keeping such a secret from them. But no, they understood, they accepted her which was a big surprise. But she wasnt complaining...just confused. Suddenly an explosion was heard a few blocks away, and the team look up as a cloud of smoke and flames filled the area ahead of them.
"Look!" Kelsey said, pointing in the direction
Chad leaned forward "Even if we're not ranger's still, dont you think..." he trailed off, all the while nodding his head
"We should check it out," Carter nodded, and he, Sabrina, Dana and Chad headed for the opening of the gazebo.
Joel threw out his hand and stopped them "Hey, it's not our job" he stated, shaking his head.
"Yeah," Kelsey nodded "We were fired! Let the Cyborgs handle it!"
Dana and Chad fell back as Carter looked down at Sabrina; the red head shook her head and brought her friends attention back to her as she spoke "If I chose to let someone else handle it, I couldn't look my former teams or my mother, aunt and uncle in the eyes. Im going!" and she leapt over the side of the gazebo and took off across the park, glancing over her shoulder, only to see that the other five were right behind her.
-Scene-
Upon reaching the scene the Original team stumble across Doctor Harlan's worst nightmare; he was surrounded by his creations that didnt seem to be acting themselves. Instead of being programmed to attack monsters and evil they had turned on their creator. Flaming out instantly from her place between Carter and Dana, Sabrina appeared behind the good doctor, touched his shoulder and flamed out again, leaving six confused robots behind; when she flamed back in the other rangers re-grouped around their sixth member and the doctor who looked mildly surprised at their appearance but also relieved to be saved.
"How did you do that?" he asked, looking across at Sabrina, who narrowed her eyes at him, but didnt answer. He wasn't exactly on her good lists.
Carter looked over his shoulder at Doctor Harlan "We'll take it from here!" he told him, before turning back and kicking his counter-part in the stomach and sending it crashing to the ground. When it picked itself back up, the fight real fight was on; as each Lightspeed Ranger faced off against its robotic counterpart
"...You will all be terminated" the Red Cyborg Ranger stated, in its computerized voice
Dr. Harlan nodded "Its right, nothing can stop them!" he stated
"You better hope you're wrong!" Carter told him, as he readied himself for the big fight along with his team-mates. Just seconds before it all kicked off an approaching engine caught their attention and everyone turned in the direction of the noise, to see the Rescue Humvee driving towards them, it skidded to a halt to reveal Captain Mitchell behind the wheel.
"Carter!" he called, picking something up from the passenger's seat and throwing it through the air.
Carter caught it and looked down. It was his Rescue Morpher. One-by-one the other's morphers were returned to them and the Lightspeed Rangers, fell into formation "Time for some Human Power!" he stated, glaring at his Cyborg
"Lightspeed Rescue!" the Rangers commanded, and seconds later they were back in action.
Dana was the first to take out her Cyborg; followed by Joel, Kelsey, Chad and finally Carter.
Sabrina was the only ranger left to not defeat her Cyborg and was at this minute chart-wheeling across the alley way to avoid the fireballs being thrown at her from her Cyborgs hands. She reached the wall and jumped as a series of flames were shot at her, but when she landed she was in front of her Cyborg who had raised its palms to fire more flames at her "Eat Flames!" she snarled, locking hands with the Cyborg as two Fireballs appeared in its hands; the minute her palms hit the robot's the flames disappeared and her own ignited as she pushed them back through the vents of the Robot's as steam appeared from every available vent on its body, before seconds later an explosion rocked the foundations of each building on either side. The destroyed Scarlet Cyborg was thrown in every direction as Sabrina turned her back on them and looked up at her team.
"That's what happens when you mess with Rangers!" she stated
The others chuckled and re-grouped with the red head; before a familiar voice interrupted their celebration "Aren't you forgetting something you little Power pests!" the Lightening Monster had returned.
"The only pest around here is you!" Carter retorted, as he and the others skidded to halts in front of the monster "and we're gonna stomp you out!"
"We'll see about that!" the monster hissed "Lightening Strikes! Away!"
This time, however, when the spikes hit the Rangers jumped into the air and out of the way of the explosion. The Monster growled in surprise, as they managed to evade his best attack "We're onto your tricks!" Carter told him "Try one of ours" and they removed their Lightspeed weapons and jumped through the air. Dana, Sabrina and Kelsey attacked first, slashing downwards with their weapons, before doubling back as Joel and Chad were next; doubling back just like the girls the five rangers combined their weapons over one another as Carter landed on them and they gave him a boost through the air as he stabbed forward at the monster who was thrown backwards.
"Time to finish this!" Carter nodded, raising his morpher "Rescue Bird!"
The Rescue bird flew into view changing into the Unilaser mode "Ready!" Joel and Chad nodded
"Aim!" Kelsey and Dana nodded
"Fire!" Carter and Sabrina finished, as the red ranger fired the laser and hit the monster with the energy blast. Energy rippled through him, as he tilted forward and exploded. Carter nodded "Mission Accomplished!"
But as the Rangers turned to walk away the monster grew huge "Little Monster - done deal!" Sabrina commented "Big Monster...well, deal undone!"
"Rail Rescues!" Carter commanded "On track"
As the Zords appeared, Sabrina counted them before sighing "Phoenix!" she called into her morpher and seconds later her Zord flew into view "Who's the battered old bird now!" she said hotly, flaming out and into the cock-pit of her Zord "No one scraps my toys!" and she pulled back on her controls before shooting into the skies. Before turning around above the clouds, flipping a few switches inside her Zord and plummeting towards the Lightening ranger "Time for a bath!" she hissed at the monster "LAVA BLAST!" the beak of the Phoenix opened and a stream of hot, thick, molten lava shot out and hit the monster as he growled in pain and anger "I cannot believe the Dash Rescue was left out of the Megazord Combination again!" she cried. "Not that I despise my Phoenix Zord, because I dont...but she can't combine with you guys! I wanna be apart of the Megazord!" she whined
As the red head pulled out of the attack and hovered for a few seconds in the air above her friends; there was an explosion but the monster remained unharmed. It was the Wolfblades all over again
As if in punishment for Sabrina's attack on him, the monster fired three Lightening spikes at the Megazord, and embedded them in its chest "We gotta do something, and fast!" Chad stated the obvious.
"I got an idea!" Carter exclaimed "Ladder arms!" and he reached out and grabbed the monster. As the lightening hit, it was channelled through the metal arms and through the monster, which growled out in pain once more and was later dropped to the ground. "Megazord Sabre! Ignite!" and with the fiery orb the monster was defeated.
"Yeah!" Sabrina cheered "I bet the stupid Cyborgs couldn't do that!"
xXx
Laughter and happiness spread through the base as the original rangers returned to active duty, they were met in the bay by Captain Mitchell, Angela Fairweather, Hunter Bradley (who Sabrina immediately latched onto and refused to let go) Doctor Harlan and the two Officials who had revoked the Ranger's morphers at the beginning of the day. The only person who was missing was General McKnight. While Captain Mitchell and Ms. Fairweather watched as the rangers conversed happily with one another, Dr. Harlan stared at the door as if he was a child waiting for his father to get home and assign a punishment; it was almost heartbreaking to watch...almost!
"He doesn't look very happy," Hunter murmured to Sabrina, as the two glanced down at the good doctor
Sabrina shook her head "Nope," she agreed "I guess he got what he deserved in the end, though! After he said he was gonna scrap Phoenix, I should have just left him to the hands of his precious robots!"
"But you're a good ranger," Hunter said, tickling her sides "and that would have been evil!"
The red head shrugged "The Phoenix would have loved it!"
"No disagreeing there," Hunter smiled, resting his chin on her shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Attention!" came a commanding voice, as the Rangers and all other personnel fell into formation. Hunter dropping his arms from around Sabrina, as General McKnight entered the room.
He looked around at them all "At ease!"
They relaxed, the red head leaning into her boyfriend once more as she listened to the General speak "I underestimated your capabilities and your...heart" he gave Hunter a look, which caused Sabrina to frown and look up at her boyfriend with a questionable stare. "I...uh...apologize" he told the Rangers, as he approached them "Captain Mitchell made a wise choice. Six wise choices"
The rangers saluted him "Thank you, sir" Carter stated
The General saluted them back before turning to Ms. Fairweather and Captain Mitchell "Captain," he addressed him "I wont interfere, again. Carry on" the two saluted and the General turned to Ms. Fairweather, respectively "But it seems you're lab could use more resources and funding to help combat the demons; I offer you half the support that Harlan's team is getting -" he was cut off from the spluttering sound of Doctor Harlan.
"But sir!" the doctor spluttered "That's not fair!" he whined
General McKnight threw him a dark look, causing him to fall silent and shrink away from the look; the General then turned back to Ms. Fairweather "You can expect three-quarters of the resources and funding that was going into Harlan's lab; good luck" he nodded, before heading for the door as Angela opened her mouth to protest.
"Uh, sir?" Sabrina called after him, as she stepped forward "I just got one question..."
"Yes?" General McKnight asked
Sabrina grinned "You wouldn't happen to be related to one Connor McKnight would you?"
"No..." the General answered "I am not!"
"Oh," Sabrina smiled "Okay!" and she shrugged before turning and bounding back across the room to fall into formation beside Joel. The General watched her curiously, before shaking his head a small smile of amusement on his face before he left, pulling a complaining Doctor Harlan with him. The rangers and Lightspeed personnel remained silent for a while, until the voices died before an eruption of cheers exploded in the room followed by laughs as the whole room celebrated the return of the one team they needed.
A/N: Finished another chapter. This one was fun to write. :O Dr. Harlan very very bad man! He wanted to scrap Phoenix! How dare he! I wonder what Sabrina would do if he actually tried? Doctor S'mores anyone? lol.
Uh...I don't know how to say this...but there will not be an update tomorrow. I am out all afternoon from 3:00PM onwards and I dont know what time I will be back. My uncle as a Gig for the Bank Holiday and im attending. So I maybe a little on the 'drunken' side to write anything. But feel free to leave me messages and reviews. I'll get back to all, when I can. :D
Reviews? (Pretty please)

PS. Oh, I realized I have made a few mathematic reviews; since this is the 3rd Story in the Phoenix Series and usually they go a whole year in fighting, that would make Sabrina more along the lines of 18 nearly 19 and not 16. So I apologize if I've confused anyone.
And one more thing; if you want a good story to read look for 'Something Worth Living For' by SweetInsomnia. It's really good. She could do with some more reviews as she is a beginner. So check it out and show your support. Please.
