Lightspeed Rescue: The Phoenix Prophecy

By xXxKaraBeckerCutterxXx

A/N: Some familiar faces for you lovely reviewers. Enjoy.

Go Volcanic

"...very impressive Dana," Ms. Fairweather smiled as she entered the main lab, to find the pink ranger standing in front of a device that was supposedly able to measure volcanic activity, in fact, this was Ms. Fairweather's next question, which caused the blonde ranger beside her to smile and answer with -

"That's what im gonna find out," Dana responded "Im heading up to Mt. Jasmine to see if I can get a reading," and she fitted the detector into her backpack on the other side of the lab, before lifting her morpher to her lips "Come in Carter," she requested.

"Hey what's up Dana?" the red ranger asked over the morpher

"When are you guys coming back, to the aqua base?" she asked "I need the rescue rover, to go to the Volcano"

Joel's voice sounded this time "after a Hot dog, im starving!"

"Now there's a surprise," Sabrina said sarcastically, as she entered the main lab, carrying a helmet in her arms and wearing motocross gear. Ms. Fairweather and Dana frowned at the red head, who passed them off "Joel, you're always starving"

"Nuh-uh!" the Green ranger argued over the link, as the three young women in the lab exchanged amused grins

Dana shook her head "Okay, I'll see ya" she cut off the link and turned to Sabrina "Trying a new look?" she asked

"Nah," Sabrina grinned "Friends of mine and Hunter's are in town this today, and we're gonna meet them at the Moto track just outside of town. Since it's been pretty quiet around here lately; Hunter and I figured a day off for the two of us, would be great"

Ms. Fairweather nodded "Make the most of it," she smiled, before turning to Dana "I can give you a ride if you want?"

"I think I'll just take the bus," the blonde responded "It will be an adventure"

"Good luck," Ms. Fairweather laughed

Sabrina turned to her friend "Where you off?" she asked

"Mt. Jasmine,"

The red head grinned "Nice"

Glancing over Dana's shoulder she spotted Hunter rolling a Motocross bike into the transport bay and grinned "Gotta go!" and she left the room, quickly hurrying to her boyfriend's side. Two Motocross bikes stood side-by-side on the transport deck, as Hunter was clad in his usual Motocross gear. In truths, it looked better on him than it did her; but she knew she couldnt very well go riding a dirt bike in Soccer clothes, where was the protection in that?

"Ready?" the older blonde asked, as Sabrina hopped onto the bike he had made from scratch, for her.

She nodded "Yup," she grinned, pulling on her helmet and clipping it in place underneath. Hunter mimicked her actions, and signalled to one of the scientists to lower them down, the moment the transport deck touched the bottom two engines roared to life and the couple raced through the underwater tunnel and out into Mariner Bay.

-Scene-

The ride out to the track on the outside of Mariner Bay, took relatively 3 hours tops. It was a fun drive as Sabrina followed Hunter after all he was the Motocross addict and knew his way around a dirt bike like the back of his hand. So following him benefitted her better than it would have if she was to race him; of course he wasn't exactly ahead of her per say, but more along the lines of riding beside her, like she had said he was the Motocross addict it was second nature being on a bike for him, now she, was useless on a bike. The only bike she managed to be able to control was her Lightspeed Phoenix Cycle and that was only because it was connected to her Phoenix.

3 hours came and went, and soon the couple was coming to a halt on the outskirts of the track; it was like being back in Blue Bay Harbour again and at the race track, except this time there was alot more hills and dips around and the track seemed ten times bigger. A familiar van was parked not that far away and Sabrina grinned at the logo on the front 'Storm Charges' "I can't wait to see Kelly's face," she grinned "I aint seen her in nearly a year!"

Hunter frowned "It can't be a year already?" he questioned

"Yeah," Sabrina nodded "I didn't see her at all last year, and this year we're too far from Blue Bay for me to go visit" she explained

The older blonde nodded, before spotting three familiar figures standing near the track watching the other races. He motioned to them for Sabrina as the red head grinned and followed him forward. They pulled to another halt, as the three figures turned to see the new arrivals, their faces were a picture when Sabrina removed her helmet and a grin laced her face "Sabrina!" Tori cried, jumping forward and holding her arms open to her best friend.

"Tori!" Sabrina exclaimed, launching herself at her friend and hugging her tightly "Oh, I've missed you!" she broke away and turned to Dustin "Dustin!" she squealed, jumping him in a hug too before turning to Kelly who pulled the younger red head into a bone crushing hug as Dustin, Hunter and Tori watched in amusement "Help!" the younger red head squeaked "she's crushing me!"

Kelly chuckled "I hate you!" she said, leaving the younger red head go "You disappeared on me for a whole year! Not once did I hear from you!"

"Sorry," Sabrina grinned sheepishly "I was busy..."

"Too busy to call? Send an E-mail?"

The younger red head grinned "You know if I remember correctly, you said those exact words to him -" she pointed at Dustin "when I was living in Blue Bay"

"Im repeating myself," Kelly frowned

"It comes with the territory of getting old!" Sabrina teased, yelping as she ducked behind her boyfriend and two friends as Kelly glared at her "What?" she asked "everyone gets old at some point!"

The older red head continued to glare "Watch you're back Sabrina," she threatened playfully

"Why?" Sabrina asked, looking over her shoulder "What's wrong with my back"

Meanwhile, the other four rolled their eyes it was nice to see that Sabrina was the type to never change; after she and Kelly had cooled down, Sabrina had hopped up onto Dustin's back and wrapped her legs around his waist as well as her arms around his shoulders "So tell me," she gushed "What have I been missing?"

"Not much," Dustin answered "Blue Bay's a little quieter since you left...and im not talking about you moving to Reefside" he added

The younger red head nodded "Yeah, I have that affect on places"

"I'll say," Kelly grinned "Storm Charges isn't the same without my little whirlwind" she teased

"I promise I'll come back one day," Sabrina promised, jumping down from Dustin and hurrying towards her 'sister' "What would you do without me?"

"Live a normal, quiet life?" Kelly suggested

Sabrina rolled her eyes "How boring of you!" she teased

"Well," Kelly spoke up, interrupting a conversation that had started between Tori and Sabrina, and not really wanting to interrupt the best friends, she decided she could check out potential places for a new Storm Charges alone "I have to put in some offers at a local business realtors office here, and you guys deserve a chance to catch up. So while im busy looking for a new place, why don't you spend time together"

Tori frowned "are you sure?" she asked "I mean, we came here to help you"

"Yeah," Sabrina nodded "Besides -"

But Kelly cut her off "I think I can handle myself in Mariner Bay, for one day!" she stated "Go! Have fun! I'll meet up with you guys later" and before the others could stop her, she climbed back into the Storm Charges van and pulled away.

"It's not that im worried about," Sabrina murmured, earning two confused looks from Tori and Dustin, and a shoulder squeeze from Hunter. After Kelly had disappeared, the four friends decided to go grab something to eat, causing Sabrina to reluctantly hand over her bike to Dustin warning him that if he hurt her bike in anyway, she'd kill him. So with Tori on the back of Dustin and Sabrina on the back of Hunter, the four we're gone, leaving the track and returning to the main part of Mariner Bay.

-Scene-

"...Shane wanted to come," Dustin was saying, as he sat opposite Sabrina on the grass of the local park "But with Tori and I taking leaves of absence to help Kelly with Storm Charges and locating a new place down here, here is the prime successor to take over after Sensei when he decides to retire" he explained

Sabrina nodded, it hadnt occurred to her that Sensei would ever retire from the Wind Academy; but she should have guessed he would have because, well he couldnt carry on training students late into his age. Cam would probably have taken over as headmaster for him, but they needed a Sensei who could teach classes and students the right way of the Ninja not that Cam wasnt the perfect candidate but the red head was gonna take a guess and say Cam had other things on his mind beside taking over as Sensei. "Shane as Sensei...that I would love to see," Sabrina grinned "I so gotta come back to Blue Bay, once im finished here -" she paused "Oh wait! Does that mean he'll be teaching me when I return to complete my training? Oh I hope not,"

Tori, Hunter and Dustin chuckled as Sabrina went off on a trident of rambles "No," Tori cut across her, reaching over to take her friends' hands "Leanne is you're teacher, not Shane. I don' think Leanne would appreciate you being taken away from her"

Sabrina grinned "Unless she's the one taking me out of the World,"

The others frowned "What -" Tori started

"I was kinda a back-seat trainer to one of her students," Sabrina explained "long story short, she didnt like it"

Hunter grinned "Yeah that sounds like Leah"

Sabrina nodded "Oh! What about Cam?" she asked "How's my favourite little Samurai?" out of all the former Rangers

Tori and Dustin exchanged amused glances, before the Water Sensei spoke "He's been spending alot of time at the Thunder Academy, lately" she explained "We hardly see him anymore"

"Why?" Hunter asked, perking up instantly "Why is he at the Thunder Academy"

"He's been helping Leanne fix the mainframe," Dustin answered, off-handily, before frowning as Sabrina fell back laughing "What?" he asked

Sabrina smirked "Yeah, he's 'Fixing the mainframe'" she said, sarcastically adding quotation marks to emphasis her words "Come on Dustin, im not blind! I've seen the signals that both Cam and Leanne are giving off! It's the same signals you and Marah gave off for one another," she told the Earth Sensei "the same ones you and Blake have...had," she corrected quickly "Sometimes it's nice to just follow your heart, and something tells me Sensei is willing for Cam to do that"

"Well, im willing to bet that we'll have a throng of Ninja weddings to go to in the next two years," Tori responded "You know...if this keeps up" she grinned at Sabrina who glowered in return.

"Don't go there!" the red head warned

Tori held her hands up in defence "Im just saying," she stated "You never know"

"Oh, speaking of Ninja Weddings," Sabrina grinned back at the blonde, smirking as Tori's grin slipped "How's Blake?"

"Not cool, Sabrina!" Tori exclaimed

Sabrina laughed behind her hands "You started it!" she responded "So come on, tell me. How's Blake. I aint spoken to him since the Nationals in Reefside; oh that reminds me...his trophy is still in my room in Reefside"

"Blake's fine," Tori answered "We talk almost every night; I kinda miss him..." she admitted before brightening up "he did, however, say he may make a personal appearance if the Mariner Bay Storm Charges gets going,"

Hunter chuckled "It'll be like old times," he told Sabrina, pulling her into a one armed hug

"Give or take the missing Ranger," she added, referring to Shane and Cam "Will Marah be moving down here too?" she added, looking at Dustin, who nodded "Cool. Believe it or not I've missed her,"

The others gaped at the red head "You hated her!" Tori exclaimed

"Nuh-uh!" Sabrina shook her head "It was Kapri I didn't like, Marah was just...naive. She did everything her sister said just to fit in, when in fact she should have done things her own way. Besides, Kapri and I hated each other long before I became a Ranger"

"Care to explain?" Dustin asked

Sabrina shook her head "Not really," she stated, before jumping as someone grabbed her shoulders and whispered 'Boo' in her ear. She screamed, jumped at least a foot in the air and turned to glare up at Kelly who was laughing uncontrollably behind her little 'sister' "I hate you!"

"Love you too, Firecracker!"

Sabrina's face fell "Don't call me that!" she stated "Did you find a place?"

"Yeah," Kelly nodded "It's an old juice bar out near the beach, and the skate park -" however she was cut off as the ground shook violently beneath her feet and she landed on the grass with a thud; as screams of terror and panic erupted around the five friends from innocent civilians all over the park "What's happening?" the older red head asked.

Sabrina looked around before turning to Hunter "Diabolico!" she whispered, as her morpher bleeped on her wrist. She sighed, quickly hid it and turned to her friends "Go find somewhere safe, I have to check something out, I'll be back soon" and pushing herself to her feet, she flamed out, while Kelly's attention was diverted in another direction. When the older red head returned her attention to Sabrina, she frowned seeing her younger friend gone.

"Where'd she go?" she questioned

"Uh...trainings made her faster," Hunter lied easily

But Kelly seemed to buy it; because she nodded nonetheless "Come on, lets get somewhere safe" she said quickly, and getting to her feet with the help of Dustin the two lead the way out of the park, stumbling as another tremor hit.

Following behind with Hunter, Tori glanced up "Sabrina back on the job?" she asked pointedly, knowing full well that something was up. Something Ranger-related. Hunter nodded, but didnt elaborate on it any further.

xXx

Meanwhile, back at the Aqua base, Sabrina had just flamed in right into the lab where she found the others as Captain Mitchell tried contacting Dana; sliding into the front beside Kelsey she spoke "What's going on?" she questioned "I felt the tremor topside"

"We're picking up Seismographic activity from the Volcano," Ms. Fairweather answered "Dana -"

Sabrina gasped "Dana went to Mt. Jasmine this morning!" she cried "is she okay?"

"We don't know," Ms. Fairweather answered "We can't establish contact,"

Captain Mitchell then looked up from the controls as his gaze landed on the Rangers "Go!" he ordered them. They nodded and took off to the Zord bay. During the tremors, debris and covered the grounds making it impossible for all but two of the Rail Rescue Zords to get through. The Dash Rescue and the Aero Rescue; so with Joel in his Zord and flying ahead, Carter, Chad and Kelsey joined Sabrina in the Dash Zord cockpit to get through.

Sabrina smiled as she sat at the controls, for once it was up to her to get everyone through - she couldnt screw this up! Dana and innocent civilians; and not forgetting all of Lightspeed Rescue was depending on no pressure she reminded herself as she breathed heavily, but continued to speed over the bumpy terrain in front of her leading up to Mt. Jasmine. Watching on the monitor as the bus on which Dana and the other passengers sat balancing on the edge of the bridge, and would any minute topple over, caused the Rangers a slight panic.

"Joel," Carter said into his morpher "you're the only one who can reach them first!"

The Green ranger nodded from his Aero Rescue "No problem!" and he took off ahead of the others; disappearing high into the sky. Carter, Chad and Kelsey watched on from the monitors as Sabrina continued to rumble over the debris blocking her path.

"We're coming Dana!" she murmured, gripping her controls tightly and pushing herself onwards. Willing her Zord to go faster. Another tremor hit, causing the bus to slid further down the side of the bridge "The Volcano is about to erupt!" she stated, "Joel, you have to hurry!"

"im all over Sabrina," Joel responded as his Zord appeared on the monitors, he hovered over the bus, sending down his magnets which attached to roof of the bus "Now to get them back to the road" and steadily lifting the bus into the air, the Green ranger turned it around so that it was once again safely on the road, seconds later the Dash Rescue rolled into place. "About time Sabrina," Joel teased

"Hush up, space cowboy!" Sabrina complied, before clambering out of her Zord with the others and hurrying towards the bus

"Dana!" Carter called, being the first on the bus "If everyone okay?"

The Pink ranger nodded "We are now," she told him "thanks to you guys"

Another tremor hit knocking civilians, and the rangers backwards in their step and down onto empty seats, Dana pulled herself back up and across towards her seat where her pack was sitting. The device from this morning was inside and the reading on the scan was not good "The Volcano is going to erupt any minute!" the blonde stated "We have got to stop it!"

"You've got to get this bus out of here!" Chad said to the driver, who was holding his arm in a sling "Right away!"

The driver groaned "I can't drive!" he told the Blue ranger "My shoulder!"

"You better come take a look at this Dana," Carter said, as the pink ranger confirmed that he couldn't drive with his shoulder this bad. "Well we've gotta try something!" he turned to the passengers "Does anyone know how to drive a bus?" he asked them

The passengers exchanged looks; neither of them knew how to drive the bus, all except one man. A man in black clothing, sunglasses and a ski-cap; which Sabrina found rather odd given the humidity up on the volcano. "I used to be a bus driver," the man stated.

"You're not driving my bus!" the current driver stated "You belong in jail!"

An older woman nodded "He had a gun!"

"What?" Joel asked, turning to the man as Carter gave the order that the man wasn't driving them back.

Sabrina looked down at the man, despite his previous actions he looked almost sincere for what he had done "We may not have a choice," she said to Carter "If he's the only person who can get these people out of here, I say we trust him. Even the worst of people deserve second chances," she added turning back to the man "it's what they do with the second chance; that matters!"

The guy looked up at her and removed his ski cap and glasses "You can trust me!" he nodded, packing away his disguise and stuffing them into his bag. He then nodded at the Rangers, as Dana looked down at the elderly couple who nodded and then back at the Driver who also agreed. So with the rangers off the bus, the guy drove the bus back down the road towards the bottom of Mt. Jasmine, leaving the rangers on the path, as another tremor hit.

"Come on," Carter said, turning and breaking into a run "We don't have much choice!"

So with Carter and Joel in the lead, followed by Kelsey and Chad, and Sabrina and Dana bringing up the read, the six rangers sprinted up the remainder of the mountain until they reached a cavern in the side.

-Scene-

"This looks like the way in," Carter stated the obvious, as they reached the mouth of the cavern.

Dana skidded to a halt and lowered her pack to the floor "Wait let me take a reading first," she said, adjusting some frequencies on the device "Its like something is causing the volcanic activity!" she stated "Let's go guys!" they rush in, but only make it to the neck of the cavern as they spot the fire monster heating up the lava.

"There he is!" Joel shouted, startling the monster

"Rescue Blasters!"

The six rangers fired their own personal weapons; as Kelsey launched an attack but was hosed own by flames in the air. She groaned as she rolled across the ground on the outside of the cave, "Kelsey!" the others shouted, re-grouping with her as Sabrina stepped up in front of the protectively, seeing as the monster was fighting on the same wavelength as her, Elemental wise anyway.

"You're too late!" the monster growled "Say goodbye to you're precious city!"

Sabrina shook her head "Obviously you have no idea who you're dealing with!" she snapped "Scarlet Ranger, Rescue Ready!"

"Pink Ranger," Dana mimicked "Rescue Ready!"

"Red Ranger," Carter added "Rescue Ready!"

"Blue Ranger," Chad responded "Rescue Ready!"

"Green Ranger," Joel stated "Rescue Ready!"

"Yellow Ranger," Kelsey proclaimed "Rescue Ready!"

"Lightspeed Rescue!" they all exclaimed, but was drowned out as the monster fired a flame breath at them, which was absorbed by Sabrina as her own flames wrapped around the rangers, in protection.

"Carter!" she stated "There is no way you'll get close enough," she explained "You have to put out the flame! I can hold him off as long as possible, but think fast!"

The red ranger nodded "Do what you need to do Sabrina," he told her

"Go!" she commanded them, as the monster drew back on the flames and Sabrina's disappeared.

"Dana," Carter said turning to the Pink ranger "are you with me?"

She nodded "You bet I am!"

Turning to Sabrina the three of them nodded as they run forward, Dana fired her Rescue blaster at the monster, who retaliated with blowing its fire breath. Sabrina took this as her cue and jumped over her friends as flames wrapped around them the second she touched the ground; Carter, meanwhile, ducked under the two flames and fired his water gun at the monster, spray water on the flames until they disappeared, the monster stumbled back the second his flames disappeared and the rangers put together the Unilaser which later destroyed him.

"Its not over yet," Sabrina complained, pointing at the sky as a tower of bats appeared and seconds later the monster was back "Time to bust out the big ones!" she giggled, despite not knowing if her Zord would be apart of the Megazord this time, Sabrina took to her Dash Rescue as the others called for their Zords, during the formation of the Lightspeed Megazord, Sabrina felt herself moving as her Dash Rescue broke apart and became apart of the middle of the Megazord, the cock-pit half disengaging from the rest of it to link up with the back of the Pyro Rescue and attach to the back of the Megazord. "Alright!" Sabrina cried "Finally im apart of the Megazord!"

"Welcome aboard," Dana grinned, high-fiving the red head, which popped up beside her

For a while both the monster and the Megazord got a few decent hits on one another; before the Megazord retaliated with the use of the Lightspeed Ladder arms, and flipped over numerous times kicking the monster until sparks flew and he landed on the ground; after which he got back to his feet and attacked once more. The Megazord stumbled backwards and attempted to use the Sabre to destroy him, with his own fire. But they couldnt get close enough to instigate it.

"The fire's too hot!" Kelsey complained "We'll never get close enough for an attack"

Just at that moment the coms sprang to life and Ms. Fairweather was heard over the buzzing of interfering frequencies "Yes you can," she told them "call for the Lightspeed Phoenix Launcher"

"The what?" the rangers frowned, but Sabrina suppressed a smile

"Let's give it a go," she told the others "What we got to loose?"

They nodded "Okay," Carter said

"Lightspeed Phoenix Launcher!" the six rangers commanded together, and seconds later the other half of the Dash Rescue approached the Megazord as the Ladder arms extended as far as they could go, the wheels and flatbed wrapped around the arms, and the container fell away to reveal Sabrina's Phoenix Zord, perched and ready for flight. Using her power to fuel the Phoenix from the Megazord, the other rangers enforced the next attack. "ATTACK!" the commanded; almost immediately the wheels grabbed the ladder arms and flung the launcher forward, launching the Phoenix through the air as the trailer hit the end of the Ladder arms.

In a burning blaze of red and gold, the Phoenix ploughed straight through the monster, causing him to explode where he stood.

"Yeah!" the rangers cheered, as the Phoenix circled back and cooed in celebration

Sabrina grinned "Way to go Phoenix!" she called out to her Zord, as a soft humming filled the air; clearly the Phoenix was showing its celebration in its own form. Sabrina smiled as she nodded once and the humming died down. Her connection to the Phoenix Zord was a surprise to the other Rangers, but they were glad it existed, without it; Trifire may have destroyed Mariner Bay and all who inhabited.

-Scene-

The fight was over; the Zords had been returned to their sanctuary; the Phoenix resting comfortable in the container the Dash Rescue or whether it was back in its own coop; Sabrina didnt know. All she did know was, she and the other rangers kicked ass today! Diabolico was probably growling in anger at them right now and plotting his revenge; skidding to simultaneous halts in front of the passengers of the bus, on which they had rescued before dealing with the monster, the rangers were thanked by the saviours; including the felon, who they learned was named Scott.

"Thank you," the original bus driver smiled "We're all in debted to you. You saved all of Mariner Bay"

Carter saluted him "Thank you sir," he smiled

"And you," Dana said, stepping forward "you're a hero too"

Scott frowned "Me?" he questioned. Dana nodded. "I just did what was right," he told her

"Doing the right thing, is half the battle" the driver told him

"And if you keep doing what's right," the older woman added "you're home free"

Scott nodded in understanding "Thank you," he said to the Rangers "All of you" he turned back to Dana "Especially you. You saved my life"

The sound of a siren cut through the silence that had fallen around them, the Police officers got out and approached the group "Scott Harrison?" they asked, he nodded "You're under arrest"

"Officer," Dana intervened, stopping the process of Scott being put in handcuffs "Whatever he did wrong; you should know...he saved all of these people" she motioned around to the bus passengers behind Scott. They nodded in confirmation as the elderly woman handed over his possessions.

"Thanks for letting me know," the officer told the blonde, before leading Scott away

The man sighed "Wait a second," he said, turning back to the Rangers "Don't worry," he told them "Im not afraid to pay for what I did wrong; because from now one, my life's gonna be alot different" and he was lead away back to the police car. Sliding in without force, he smiled at the rangers before the car pulled off and out of sigh.

Sabrina grinned "Not only do we kick ass when it comes to monsters," she gushed "but we also turned around the life of a criminal. We are AWESOME!" she exclaimed, earning laughter from her team-mates.

A/N: Haha, trust Sabrina to break the tension.

VERY IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story is going on a small Hiatus; Comet Warrior has informed me that he has been moving into his Dorm room and therefore his computer connection maybe a little off for the first couple of days. So he sent me a few episodes a few nights ago to tire me over, but I have come to the end of those. Please be patient until my reinforcement has returned, really, I couldn't continue this story without his help, because as I have said previously, Lightspeed Rescue is not exactly my cup of tea. I would have no clue has how to take it, like I did Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder (even though he helped me in those seasons too) but I know you all will understand; and we'll try and come back to you as soon as possible.

Also, please know on the 6th of September, which is Monday coming; I will also be re-starting college so updates on ALL stories will be slow. Please be patient.

Thank you.
