The Phoenix Series
Lightspeed Rescue: The Phoenix Prophecy
By xXxKaraBeckerCutterxXx
Author's Note: Hey everyone, as you have possibly realized by now since some of you are readers of my Abby Series. Is that I have my laptop back. Now I have to apologize for not coming straight back to this story when I had it. And the reason for that is; Ninja Storm is by far my all time favourite season and I guess writing it is more easier for me because I knew the characters and the plot and therefore it is easier for me to make up ideas to fit in with that plot. But have no fear, I have finished Ninja Storm with Abby Holloway and ready to get back to Sabrina. I have been watching a few episodes ahead on the Lightspeed season and cannot wait to write them.
So enough of my rambling apologizes; shall we get on with the story? Yes. Awesome.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OC's and anything else unrecognizable.
Here we go.
Curse of the Cobra
"Wait for me!" Sabrina exclaimed, as she dropped her scrapbook back onto her bed, shoved it under her pillow and sprinted from the room after Carter. It had been a whole 12 hours since Ryan Mitchell had joined the team as the Titanium Ranger and today she and Carter were supposed to be taking him to the training facilities to see how well he was in combat and the other strengths that made him good enough for the ranger position. The red ranger had just stopped by to make sure she was ready and she had been in the middle of adding to her Ranger scrapbook. "Carter!" she shouted after him, before slamming into the back of him as he stopped dead in his tracks just short of Ryan's room "Ouch!" she complained, rubbing her head and glaring up at the taller man in front of her.
Although she came across to her fellow ranger as calm and collective, inside she was still trying to make heads or tails of what she had felt last night. The darkness that had washed over her was unimaginable and for a while she actually thought it was going to find her. She knew it was looking for her, but it had taken her well by surprise because she had never felt anything like it before. It was nothing like when the Phoenix was trying to take control; when the Phoenix acted up the energy feel was rather warm because of the blaze of fire that erupted from the core of the Phoenix and Sabrina's soul. But this darkness was ice cold and the strength was very powerful.
On a happier note and coming back to Ryan Mitchell; the red head couldnt help but smile at how his presence seemed to bring the Pink ranger Dana out of her shell. She was really happy, the happiest that Sabrina had ever seen her since joining the team. If Dana is happy Sabrina thought with a smile then im happy. All she cared about outside of battle was seeing her friends happy, and Dana was like a little sister to her, despite the blonde being older than her. Snapping out of her thoughts at Carter's whispered voice, Sabrina frowned and glanced up at him "What?" she asked
"Shh!" he repeated, glancing back at her; his whole frame blocking the door
The red head's frown deepened "Well, arent we going in?" she asked in a low voice "Its kinda hard to train the new guy, when he aint even got the new guy!"
Carter was about to respond when the door to Ryan's door opened and the ranger in question walked out, startled slightly to see them standing right outside his door "Carter," he said, startled at their presence "Sabrina!"
"Hi," the red head smiled
"What's up?" Ryan questioned
Carter glanced back at Sabrina "I thought we'd give you a tour of the training facilities"
Ryan nodded "Great," he smiled "Let's go"
"Awesome!" the red head jumped, before turning around and leading the way down the hallway away from Ryan's room; just as their morphers beep.
"Ranger's to Rescue Ops," Captain Mitchell's voice came over the comm's link
Sabrina stopped and turned to the two guys behind her "Sometimes the best training is on the job," Carter stated, patting Ryan's shoulder and taking off down the corridor with Sabrina hot on his tail.
-Scene-
"Hewy, Dewy and Lewy, are back!" Sabrina groaned as she watched the three old previous monsters destroy Mariner Bay on the monitors in Rescue Ops, Captain Mitchell was stood near the monitors and turned to his rangers when they entered
"Are you ready?" he asked his son
Ryan nodded "Absouletly"
"Alright," Ryan smiled "Lets show them what Seven rangers can do,"
The rangers saluted "Yes, sir!" they chimed before taking off into another Battle
-Scene-
The seven reach the battle grounds, and Dana, Kelsey and Sabrina immediately start helping people out of the rubble that was one buildings, before taking their places in line between the four guys "Rangers," middle monster growled "We meet again"
"I guess you didnt learn last time," Carter bit back "Ready?" he asked his team
"Ready!"
"Lightspeed Rescue!"
"Titanium Power!"
They each morph into their respective colours, before falling into their new formation; ready to take on the Monsters.
"Alright guys," Carter spoke from the head of the formation
And the fight was on; splitting up into three teams the Rangers took on the three monsters. Dana and Joel. Chad and Kelsey. Ryan, Sabrina and Carter. Fighting at the top of a rubble pile, Sabrina flipped over backwards as she kicked up at the chest of the knight monster, who blocked her attack with his staff. The red head flipped over back onto her feet and raised her hands in a defence strategy as the monster deflected his staff at her; spinning around to avoid a hit, she allowed Ryan and Carter to take their chance at the monster before she rolled under Carter's high kick and crossed paths with Ryan. The monster stumbled backwards as Sabrina got back to her feet on his left with the two boys on his right.
Carter rushed back in for another try, but the monster slashed him across the stomach and he tumbled onto the ground; while Ryan dealt with the monster Sabrina knelt beside the Red ranger and touched his shoulder making sure he was okay.
"What you doing up there, Ranger?" the monster asked Ryan
He changed his weapon into a blaster "This!" he responded, firing several energy blasts before arching backwards as if in pain.
Sabrina frowned as she glanced up at him "Ryan!" she called, frowning at the faint glowing that seemed to be coming from the bottom of his back; a the Titanium Ranger fell from his vantage point, the monster chuckled darkly as he made for the final attack.
"You'll pay, traitor!" he growled raising his staff, before sparks erupted from his back as Carter, who had made it back to his feet, fired off his blaster. Sabrina stood alongside the red ranger and threw out her hand, as a wave of flames hit Ryan and he disappeared, reappearing beside the two Red rangers.
"Ryan!" Carter exclaimed, as he knelt beside the Titanium ranger "What happened up there? Are you alright?"
Ryan's breathing was heavy and laboured, as if he had been fighting the on-slaughter of some self-inflicting pain "Yeah, don't worry," he nodded "Im fine"
"Carter," Sabrina mumured, pointing at the silver ranger's back as he arched in pain again, and the faint glowing of a shape appeared on his back "Look!" she pointed at the glow.
"What in the world is that?" Carter inquired
Ryan merely shook his head "Its nothing" he told them
The monster the three had been fighting, re-grouped with the others in front of Ryan, Sabrina and Carter as the other Rangers joined seconds later "Revenge is sweet!" he stated through his laughter
"You alright, Ryan?" Dana asked her brother
He nodded "Yeah"
"I have brought something to double our fun," one of the monsters stated, pulling out a mirror and throwing it towards the Rangers. It hit the ground with a clatter, as a golden glow emitted from it and rose, materalizing into the same monster who had thrown it.
"Its an exact copy of Demonite!" Carter stated
The original Demonite chuckled "And anything I can do," he spoke "He can do!"
The Original fired a blast at the rangers which was copied by the clone; dodging to avoid the attack the Rangers split up once more to take on the monsters but they were outnumbered and out matched; hitting the ground within seconds of attacking. Calling for their V-Lancers they tried again and again but always came up with the same results. "You rangers grow tiresome," Demonite stated, as the rangers regrouped once more.
"Yeah," the feathered monster agreed "We need a change of scenery" and they disappeared
"Follow them!" Carter ordered and the original six took off, leaving Ryan to deal with the clone "V-Lancers! Locked on!" he commanded, once they had contained the monsters once more in a shipping yard. They fired an energy blast, but it was deflected and returned back sending them to the ground.
"They just don't learn, do they?" the boulder-like monster growled
Sabrina shook her head "This isnt over, yet!" she responded "We're gonna bring you down!"
"Its just a matter of time before we defeat you," Demonite told her
"Don't you learn, that the Rangers will never be beaten?" Chad asked, as he struggled back to his feet
Demonite turned on him "Well, we see things differently," he told them "And I think its time we taught, you a lesson, you will never forget" and the three of them produced their staffs and started walking forward. Meters away from the rangers; the multi-coloured superheroes get the call that Ryan is in trouble.
"Ryan's in trouble!" Dana voiced, fear turning to panic for her brother
Joel turned to her "Last time I saw him, he was fighting that Demonite clone"
"Wait a minute!" Carter spoke "I just realized something; earlier when I blasted Demonite, his clone took a hit too."
Sabrina frowned "Their inter-connected?" she asked "Maybe we can fight both of them at once!"
"That gives me an idea," Carter nodded, looking around at his friends "Come on! We've gotta hurry!" and they took off
"Now where are they going?" the feathered monster asked
Demonite stared after them "Their trying to save the Titanium Ranger" he theorised "After them!"
-Scene-
After entering a maze of Shipping containers, the rangers run ahead of the monsters, but they were in hot pursuit. Taking turn after turn, just trying to lose the monsters the rangers felt like they were running in circles "Their right behind us!" Dana stated, from the back of the group
"You'll never out run us, rangers!" Demonite growled
Sabrina smirked "Maybe not," she mumured "But you can't destroy, what you cannot find!" suddenly flames surrounded the six rangers and they disappeared, reappearing on the top of the containers, and out of reach and view of Demonite and his friends. Keeping out of sight the rangers the Rangers flamed around for a while, before the scarlet flames caught the attention Demonite who turned mid-flame out and caught Sabrina with his eye lasers. The red head cried out as she toppled off the shipping container and seconds later her friends followed her.
"Wait a minute," the feathered monster growled, looking around "Where's the Red ranger?"
His question was answered as some loose debris shower down upon them, as Carter appeared; he blasted the other two monsters with his V-Lancer before spearing Demonite with his V-Lancer and the Rescue Bird "Freeze Demonite!" he ordered "and if you know what's good for you, you'll call off your clone now!"
Demonite glared at Carter "Never!" he stated "We're having too much fun!"
"Don't force me!" Carter snapped "Or I will be forced to destroy both of you!"
"Go ahead," the feathered monster responded "But I am sure you are well aware at that close distance, you'll blow up yourself too!"
"He's right Ranger," Demonite spoke "Come on Red," he started again, after a beat "Go ahead! Pull the trigger!"
The other monsters laughed as the Rangers watched on "You're pushing me too far!" Carter hissed
"Do it!" Demonite and the other Rangers challenged
"Carter!" Dana called out
"Im warning you!" Carter spoke, hoping Demonite would change his mind
He didnt "Give it to me!"
Caving, Carter shook his head "No!" he sighed "This isnt the right way! Im going to help Ryan!" and he turned his back on Demonite as he walked off to help his friend.
Turning you're back in battle was never the right choice to make, and Carter was about to find out why. As the Red ranger turned away, Demonite raised his sword to attack "Then I'll give it to you!" Demonite cried
"Carter!" Dana cried "Look out!"
The red ranger turned and pointed his V-Lancer and the Unilaser at Demonite and fired. The chain reaction that followed was tremendous, the explosion rippled throughout the whole shipping yard, as flames carried off from the explosion destroyed the other two monsters; Sabrina's flames wrapped themselves around the rangers as the backlash of the explosion headed towards them. The flames of the Phoenix absorbing the heat and flames in return of protecting the protector and her friends. When the explosion had died down, the shipping yard was filled with debris of the destroyed Demonite and five rangers.
"Carter..." Dana mumured, tearfully as she stared at the wreckage where Carter had stood moments ago. He wasnt there anymore. The blast had wiped everyone out, Demonite, the other monsters and Carter. It would have possibly wiped out the other Rangers had it not been for Sabrina's protection. Falling to her knees, Dana lowered her head as tears filled her eyes beneath her helmet. Sabrina touched her shoulder in a mild comfort, as she could only sympathise with the Pink ranger in the loss of Carter; she understood clearly, how Dana was feeling now, because she would feel the same way if it had been Hunter in the explosion instead of Carter.
Imense pain was never something good, it tore apart at your core and rendered you weak.
"He can't be gone," Dana cried
Joel frowned as he stepped forward slightly "Dana!" he gasped "He's not! Look!" he shook her shoulders. As the blonde looked up, Carter moved around in the rubble and shakingly made it back to his feet.
"Carter?" Dana mumured, a small laugh coming through her tears "Carter!" she moved to run forward, but Sabrina stopped them, before she hurried forward herself to absorb the heat left from the wreckage. Once she was sure everything was cooler, the others joined her and Dana pratically threw herself at the red ranger in relief, before he collapsed. "Are you okay?" she asked "You scared us!"
"Yeah," he nodded "I scared myself too,"
The moment, however doesnt last and soon Demonite towers over the Rangers. Calling forth the Rescue Zords, the Megazord is formed and the fight starts once more. Its along fight and the rangers start to doubt their abilities as Demonite seems stronger than before.
"He's too strong!" Joel complained
"Hang in there Joel," Carter told the Green ranger "We've only got one shot at this guy; keep him busy, I've got an idea"
Chad nodded "You got it!" he agreed, as the Red ranger disappeared from the Megazord the five others took on Demonite, taking hit after hit; as Demonite relished in the possibility that he may destroy the rangers right here and right now; Carter combined the Supertrains to create the second Megazord and fired several missiles at him; sending him to the ground.
"The supertrain Megazord," Joel grinned "Good one!"
Sabrina looked over the situation in her head "Guys!" she called over the comms "If we work together, using both Megazords; we should defeat him for sure!"
"Alright guys," Carter nodded "Let's give him all we've got!"
"Right!" the others agreed
"Turbines!" Carter commanded "Super charged!"
The turbine laser fired from the arm of the Supertrain Megazord and hit Demonite as the other five Rangers retaliated with the Phoenix Launcher. The Phoenix Zord became one with the flames and soared through the air towards Demonite. With a hit to the chest the monster finally went down for the count.
"Good job guys," Carter told his team "That was a tough one"
On the ground Ryan joined them "Nice one guys," he congratualted "That was amazing". Suddenly he was rendered to his knees as the cobra on his back inflicted more pain; too much than he could handle.
-Scene-
Later that evening, Sabrina found herself once again heading down the winding hallways of the Aquabase heading towards Ryan's room. Carter was beside her, looking better than he had when they first brought him in. The reason they were on their way towards Ryan's room, was because Carter had come to the decision that it was time to confront Ryan on his tattoo; he had decided it would be better for Sabrina to tag along with him seeing as she knew about the tattoo better than the other rangers; and it would have been better for both the red rangers on the team to confront Ryan rather than it be Dana or any of the others who may have jumped off the deep end.
Finally, after a walk that seemed to take twice as long as it had this morning, Carter thumps heavily on Ryan's door
"Come in," Ryan called from beyond, and the door slid open permitting entrance two the Rangers waiting outside
"Hey," Carter greeted "We just came by to see how you're doing,"
Sabrina nodded
"Me?" Ryan asked "Im fine. Why?"
Exchanging looks, Sabrina nodded encouragingly to Carter "Its the only way," she told him
"Ryan," Carter started, turning to the Titanium Ranger "I have be honest with you. I saw the tattoo on you're back"
Ryan, who was in the middle of pouring himself some water, stopped and turned to the other two "Oh that," he stated, continuing with what he was doing "Its just a going away present from Diabolico"
"But today, during the fight," Sabrina inputted "It's like it was alive"
Ryan sighed "If I promise to tell you something," he said, looking at the two of them "You both have to promise not to tell anyone! Not even my dad"
"Okay, I promise" Carter nodded
Sabrina sighed "Yeah. I guess..." she agreed
"The Tattoo," Ryan started "It is alive. And everytime I move its gonna move up. Until it reaches my neck...and destroys me"
"Ryan! This is crazy!" Carter exclaimed, sitting beside the new ranger "You have to tell your dad!"
"No!" Ryan responded "This is the first chance, I have to do something good with my life" he sighed "If my dad finds out, he won't let me be a ranger!"
Sabrina shook her head "If you're dad doesn't stop you, that Cobra will!" she stated
The door behind her opened and Captain Mitchell's voice sounded "She's right!"
Exchanging looks Carter and Sabrina immediately leave the room, as their Captain entered to speak with his son, fear and panic etched onto Sabrina's features at the relevation of what she and Carter had just learned, not to mention the fact that Capatin Mitchell now knew too.
"Carter," she spoke, stopping the red ranger just short of the closed door "Im worried!" she admitted "Ryan's already proven that he is headstrong...if this continues, and he morphs too many times...this Cobra is gonna kill him!"
Carter turned to her "Sabrina, everything's gonna be fine" he reassured her "Captain Mitchell will sort everything out. But until he does, the others can't know about this. Okay?"
"But Dana -" Sabrina started to protest
"Is better off not knowing," Carter responded "She just got her brother back, knowing that he's gonna be destroyed if he continues to morph, isnt something she needs to know about. It will just worry her more."
The red head sighed "Fine," she agreed "I wont say anything"
Carter nodded and headed down the hall once more, he stopped and turned when he realized she wasnt with him "Arent you coming?"
"I'll catch up," she told him "I gotta go find Hunter!"
"Okay," he nodded "Goodnight Sabrina"
"Night Carter," she called after him
Waiting for the Red ranger to disappear around the corner, the red head turned and headed back towards Ryan's room. She stopped short of the door and listened closely to the conversation from inside; "...but im sorry Ryan, until we figure something out," she heard Captain Mitchell speak "You do not morph into the Titanium Ranger! Understood?"
"But dad -!" Ryan protested
"No, buts..." Mitchell cut him off
Sabrina could almost hear the sigh in Ryan's voice "Alright," he agreed
Footsteps were heard heading back towards the door and with seconds to spare, scarlet flames wrapped around Sabrina as she disappeared as Captain Mitchell left his son's room. Reappearing in her room, on the otherside of the Aquabase, the red head dropped down onto her bed with a heavy sigh. Ryan had been taken off the Ranger team, he had lost his Ranger status all because of the Cobra on his back. Its the only way she reminded herself he'll be destroyed if he morphs.
"I know," she mumured to herself, as she nodded in agreement with her thoughts. But she couldnt help the nagging feeling that this was somehow...her fault.
A/N: Again; I can't begin to apologize for how much time I have made you wait for this chapter. I hope you are all still expectant as to what will happen next. The next chapter should be out tomorrow at the latest. If not possibly later tonight. And I promise you right here, right now; now that Ninja Storm: Their Darkest Hour has been completed, I promise to come back to this series. Sabrina was my first and foremost series and I promised not to abandon her. Besides, the next series in the Abby story needs planning and working out. In the meantime, I will try to finish Lightspeed Rescue: The Phoenix Prophecy.
We are also close to finding out the Propechy once and for all; so I hope you are all ready.
