Black Phoenix
Part 1
The day had started out quiet; the Aquabase was buzzing with talk about some secret mission that Captain Mitchell was supposed to be sending the Rangers on, but the rangers had absouletly no clue has to what the Mission included. That's why, if anyone was indeed looking for the group of seven superheroes, they would have found the red head of the team; sitting cross-legged in Hunter's lab next to the taller blonde in question, in her lap was a brightly coloured flyer with the words 'Opening: Storm Charges' Mariner Bay branch!' underneath the title it had a list of various extreme sporting demonstrations which visitors had the chance of viewing.
"Motocross," Hunter spoke, pointing out his sport "Easy!" he grinned "Blake"
Sabrina nodded "Surfing," she grinned "another easy one. Tori!"
"The lovebirds," Hunter chuckled
Sabrina giggled too as she nudged Hunter almost pushing herself off the desk on which she was sitting "What I don't get is, who's doing the skateboarding?" she asked
"Dunno," the blonde shrugged "can't be Shane, he still in Blue Bay"
"No kidding!" she teased "Its opening...Today!" she exclaimed
"In two hours!" Hunter added
The red head frowned "Aw man! I really wanted to go too! I miss Tori and Dustin, and Marah, and Blake!"
"Tori, Dustin and Marah are a few hours away," Hunter pointed out
"But Blake's not!"
Hunter rolled his eyes as he took the flyer away from his girlfriend "Don't you have somewhere to be?"
"Not that I know of," she grinned "I'd much rather be here annoying you!"
"Go!"
"Im going!" she huffed, jumping down from the desk and heading for the door "Gosh! I know when im not wanted!"
Hunter shook his head as he watched her go.
-Scene-
With a heavy groan Sabrina stretched her arms above her head, wincing as she felt her shoulder blade click back into place; after yesterday's battle with Olympius she had been thankful to climb into bed that night. Her energy levels had dropped to below zero and she barely had enough energy to say goodnight to Hunter before her eyes closed. It had seemed she had been holding back on everything, she never showed how much she really was afraid of the Phoenix; of what could happen if evil actually got ahold of her. Yes, she had been evil once or twice in the past, and the Phoenix had taken control of her, but she had never been scared of it as much as she was this year.
It wasnt just that she was scared because she knew exactly what the demons wanted her powers for; but it was more to do with the fact that any day now could be her last. Yes, the other Rangers had agreed to protect her but there was only so much they could do. Olympius had already proved that he could get into the Aquabase and the rangers couldnt spend 24hours with Sabrina to protect her. With a heavy sigh, the red head rubbed her tired eyes; despite going to bed early and having a dreamless sleep, and Hunter was there to console and reassure her that it was all just a nightmare at the end of the ordeal. Sabrina still found that she was tired when she woke up that morning.
Turning the corner, Sabrina squeaked as Kelsey rolled towards her from the opposite direction "Kelsey!" she exclaimed, catching the brunette around the waist and nearly sending the two girls to the floor.
"Oh, hey Sabrina," Kelsey smiled, as she glanced up at the red head who was pinned beneath her "You okay?"
The red head nodded "Can you get off of me?"
Kelsey chuckled as she pushed herself to her feet and turned to help the red head up, the two then hurried into the de-briefing room to find the others already there "Woah, made it" the yellow ranger sighed, as she dropped down into the empty chair between Dana and Joel as Sabrina sat on the edge of table "So whats so urgent?"
"We were kinda hoping you guys would know," Carter frowned
Sabrina shrugged at the red ranger "Don't look at me," she answered "I aint got a clue"
The door to Captain Mitchell's quarters slid open to reveal the man himself, stepping into the de-briefing room "Rangers," he nodded in greeting, as the group of seven stood at attention "I have a very important assignment for you"
The rangers exchanged looks
"I want you to..." he looked around at each of them "...take a day off!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Joel started to laugh as the other rangers stared at him in disbelief, had those words really come from his mouth? "Nice joke, Captain," the green ranger nodded "You're kidding right?" he added quickly, when he saw no one else was laughing.
"Absoultely not," Mitchell answered "You have all worked extremely hard and you deserve it"
The rangers exchanged looks, was this for real?
"You have all worked really hard," Captain Mitchell "You deserve it! Do anything you want!" the rangers remained motionless, waiting for him to start laughing and tell them he was kidding around "Dismissed!"
Sabrina looked around at the other rangers, before the situation clicked in her head and she grinned, she had the day off...Tori, Dustin, Marah and Blake were in Mariner Bay! She could go to the Opening "See ya guys!" she waved before she tore off through the door and down the hall, slamming into Hunter who was on his way out of his lab the second she rounded the corner. "Hunter! I got the day off!" she exclaimed "What's that?" she added, pointing at the slip of paper in her boyfriend's hand.
"Day pass," he told her, pulling her off the floor "There's only maintence testing to do today, and after my 'oh so brilliant' plan last week with the demons, Captain Mitchell believes I have earned the day off. So I guess we get to go the opening after all"
The red head grinned as she grabbed the day pass and inspected it "Transport bay, 10 minutes?" she asked
Hunter chuckled and the two returned to their rooms to change into their gear, before meeting back up at the transport bay. Their bikes were ready for departure, and Ms. Fairweather smiled at them, before informing Sabrina that Joel, Chad, Dana, Kelsey and Ryan had just left for the beach.
"What about Carter?" the red head asked
Angela shook her head "No idea," she responded
"Oh," Sabrina nodded "Okay. Well, as long as he remembers that taking a break isnt against the law. I admire his attitude for training, but all work and no play, make Carter a dull boy"
Angela and Hunter chuckled in response as Sabrina cracked a grin "Have fun you too," Ms. Fairweather bidded them, before the couple were lowered down to the exit tube; the sound of two ends sparked to life and before long Hunter and Sabrina were racing off to the Moto-track.
"Bye guys!" Sabrina called, as she blasted past the Humvee on the road leading away from the docks, she just managed to catch a few cries of 'bye Sabrina' from her friends, before they disappeared from shouting distance. Reaching the woods, Hunter led Sabrina off the road and onto the dirt trail as trees past them, mixtures of green and brown blending together to form one colour. But the couple paid little attention to this as Sabrina followed Hunter, concentrating more on her riding than she was on anything else. There was a reason she hated dirt bikes, you know.
-Scene-
After a while Hunter started to slow down, and Sabrina lowered her speed to match his; the end of the dirt path was coming to an end and shouts and cheers reached their senses as the end of the woods came into view. Pulling to a halt side-by-side, the couple peered out onto the race track, to see many spectators watching a familiar rider tearing up the track. "Blake," Sabrina giggled "Should have guessed he'd be here already"
Hunter nodded in agreement "You wanna surprise him?" he asked "Or just roll up like we did for Tori, Dustin and Kelly?"
"I wanna surprise him!" Sabrina answered without hesitation
The taller blonde chuckled "Okay, so do you remember how me and Blake over-took Dustin, the first time we met, three years ago?" she nodded. "We'll do that to Blake, on his next lap, we'll take off after him?"
"Okay," the red head agreed, as she turned back to the track. Blake wasn't that far away from them anyway, and once he was close enough. Hunter motioned for Sabrina to follow him. The crimson clad rider burst through the trees first, closely followed by the scarlet clad rider. There spectators, noticed them first as a hushed silence seemed to fall over them all, as Sabrina smirked beneath her helmet, but ignored them as she followed after the Bradley Brothers. Hunter keeping up with his brother easy as pie, unfortunately for her, she was at least 2 lengths behind them.
Blake past the finish line first, closely followed by Hunter, as Sabrina joined them soon after. The Navy rider removed his helmet and frowned at the two behind him; his frown turning upside down into a smile when he realized who the pair of riders were "Hunter; am I glad to see you!" he grinned, high-fiving the blonde and hugging him briefly, before turning to Sabrina "And you are?" he teased
"Funny," she smirked "But im the girl who's gonna fry you up in seconds, if you don't get over here and give her a hug"
The Navy rider smirked and jumped off his bike as he moved to hug his little 'sister' "Missed you too Sabrina,"
"I would hope so," she responded, pulling away from her friend "How's Factory Blue, treating you?"
"Everything's great," he answered her "How about you? Tori tells me you're back on the job"
Sabrina shrugged "Eh, you know what they say," she smiled "Once a Ranger! Always a Ranger!"
The two brothers laughed at her comment, before smirks replaced their features as she looked around for the others "Come with me," Blake told her, grabbing her wrist "I wanna show you something..."
"What?"
"Come on," Blake chuckled "Its only over here"
"Im coming!" she protested "Geeze; are all you Bradley's this impaitent?" she asked, squealing as Hunter reached forward and tickled her sides. Blake pulled them over towards, a ramp where some riders were performing mad freestyle tricks in the air. "Who's that?" Sabrina asked, pointing at a yellow rider who had just hit the top of the ramp.
"You dont recognize him?" Blake asked "Its Dustin"
Sabrina shook her head "Nuh-huh!" she protested "You think I'd know Dustin if I saw him; I mean, I know he changed to Freestyle and everything...but come on!" she looked up at Blake to see the serious look on his face, she shook her head "No! I do not believe its Dustin! Now, seriously, where is my loveable goofball?"
"Right there!" Blake chuckled, pointing at the rider again
Sabrina huffed and crossed her arms as she pouted; there was no way she was going to believe that this crazed, freestyle, lunatic was the former Earth Ranger "Prove it!" she challenged
"Fine," Blake shook his head, and called the rider over "Dude, come here!"
The Rider turned in their direction and nodded his thanks to one of the men in orange jumpsuits, before pushing his bike towards them. The first thing Sabrina noticed was the number of the front of the bike, matched Dustin's back in Blue Bay, she chewed her lower lip as she realized she may have been wrong about his identity. Once close enough, the rider removed his helmet and a mop of messy brown curls appeared, sitting on the top of the loveable goofball that was Dustin Brooks.
"Dustin!" Sabrina squealed, lanching herself at the Earth Ninja "Okay, Blake I stand corrected!" she told the Navy ranger
Dustin frowned but shook his head "I dont wanna know," he told them both, before managing to remove himself from Sabrina's grasp and high-five Hunter "Hey man," he grinned at the taller blonde "Hey, this is almost like a Ninja Ranger reunion," he added, as the crowd dispersed heading further away from them "I guess we're only missing Cam and Shane"
"And Tori," Hunter pointed out
"Nah, Tori's around here somewhere" Blake smiled "So's Marah"
Sabrina smiled "Oh speaking of Marah, I hear she's a qualified Earth Ninja?"
Dustin nodded "Yeah, Dude you should see her, she's like a total different person since...you know"
"Lothor?" Sabrina asked "Almost being blown to bits on his ship, with these two -" she pointed at the brothers "and Cam?"
Dustin chuckled "Yeah, she's really committed to Ninja Training and she's really talented, really nice when you get to know her, she's also nothing like Kapri. Not saying there is anything wrong with Kapri, its just Marah is so...so...so..." he frowned as he struggled for the right word
Exchanging looks with Blake and Hunter, Sabrina giggled behind her hand "So pretty? Nice? Apologetic? Timid? Different? Take your pick...Oh, how about Perfect?"
"Yeah," Dustin nodded "Perfect"
"Perfect for you maybe," Hunter smiled, wrapping his arm around Sabrina's shoulder and causing the red head to smile
"You're going soft, man," Blake teased his brother "I remember the days when you two couldnt stand each other!"
Sabrina smirked "Did you ever think Blake? That we hated each other, because well...we liked each other?"
Blake frowned...she had him there "God, I hate when you do that!" he pouted
"Anyway..." Hunter chuckled patting his brother's shoulder and turning to Dustin "Where exactly is Marah?"
"I'll make you a deal," Dustin smirked "I'll buy you guys," he pointed at Hunter and Sabrina "Dinner, if you can point her out, in the crowd"
Exchanging looks, Sabrina set to work "There," the red head announced after a while, pointing at a mousy-coloured headed girl in the crowd and to make the guess authentic it seemed she was talking with a blonde female that struck a resemblence to Tori "See, its her! Tori's with her!"
"Nah, babe," Hunter responded "She's over there!" and he pointed in a completely different direction
Sabrina pouted and insisted that the girl she had found was Marah, because of the blonde girl next to her "You'd think I'd recognize my best friend, in a crowd of people!" she protested
"Well, you're wrong" Hunter chuckled
"Im never wrong!" she frowned
A slight clear of the throat cut through the small arguement, and Sabrina turned towards Dustin as the sound emitted from there "Marah?" she questioned, her gaze landing on a brunette girl beside the rider; her eyes widened and she squealed "Marah!" and taking the girl by surprise, she pulled her into a hug "How long you been standing there?"
"Long enough to know you've been away too long," Marah giggled, as she pulled out of the hug with Sabrina and smiled at Hunter "Hi, Hunter" she nodded
"Hi," Hunter nodded
Sabrina rolled her eyes "Don't mind him," she told Marah "So how's life at the Wind Academy?"
"Its going great," Marah answered "Dustin's a good teacher. Oh, did he tell you that Shane has become head Sensei? And Cam has been spending a lot of time with you're sister? Leanne, i think it is?"
"Yeah, Leanne is like my sister. Same as Kelly and Tori," Sabrina nodded "Last time he was down, he told me about Cam and Leanne. But I didnt know its gone further?" she turned to Dustin with a questionable gaze
Dustin shrugged "Never got around to it," he answered
"How much worse has it gotten?" Hunter asked
"Put it this way, dude," Dustin grinned "You both may be getting Wedding invitations within the next couple of weeks"
Sabrina smiled "Aw, its about time Cam found someone," she stated "He spends too much time in front of that computer of his! I think if it was legal to marry your computer, he would have asked the questions years ago!"
Marah, Dustin, Blake and Hunter chuckled at the Red head's comment, before plans were set in motion for the rest of the day. "You up for that?" Hunter asked Sabrina who had been talking with Marah for most of the planning stages.
"Hey, I got the day off," she smiled "Unless -" she was cut off by the chiming of her morpher, she sighed "Who am I kidding? Evil never takes a day off!" she pouted, raising her morpher to her lips "Yeah, Carter?"
"Meet me at the Power Plant," the Red ranger's voice sounded "Looks like Olympius is at it again"
Sabrina rolled her eyes "When is he not?" she asked and dropping her arm she looked up at her friends "I'll be back as soon as I can" she promised them, reaching up to kiss Hunter before ducking behind them and flaming out.
"Olympius?" Dustin asked "Last time it was Diabolico!" he turned to Hunter, remembering the older blonde had told him and Tori about the new threat here in Mariner Bay.
Hunter nodded "Diabolico is history," he responded "Olympius, is the future...apparently"
-Scene-
Flames appeared and died, at least two blocks from the power plant; Sabrina stumbled out of the flames catching herself before she lost her balance all together "Whoa," she mumured raising her hand to her head as she felt the blood rush back down through her body that was strange she thought never had head rush while flaming before. Sirens met her senses and she became aware that now was not the time to worry about the strange side affects she was starting to endure from her powers, looking up she spotted the Humvee heading towards her destination "Lightspeed Rescue!" she commanded, her suit appearing on her body as her helmet snapped into place, once the Humvee was close enough, scarlet flames wrapped around her once more and she was transported into the back of the Humvee, scaring the hell out of Kelsey.
"Sabrina!" the Yellow ranger cried "Don't do that!"
"Sorry," the red head shrugged sheepishly
The alarms raised awareness as they got closer, before Ryan pulled to a halt just behind the first Firetruck and the Rangers immediately jumped out. While the others went to help the injuried people outside, Sabrina ignored all yells for her to come back and run straight into the burning building, her energy levels were critical and she knew that the flames would boost her back up, long enough to fight the monster, then she could go back to the Opening or possibly back to the base to rest. Hopefully back to the opening, she had missed her friends, and bailing on them was not on her agenda for today. As soon as she entered the flames, she felt them around her, the heat was the right source she needed and she smiled as she felt it lick itsway around her body. She could feel her energy levels returning and she was starting to feel more awake than she had that morning.
Precious energy she smiled; before it was replaced with a frown as a shiver run up her spine, not the same shiver she had gotten from the others when Olympius had shape-shifted into them. No, this shiver was the type, when you felt someone was watching you. Spinning around; the red head inspected the area around her "Hello?" she called "Anyone there?" but she recieved no answer "Mhmm..." she shrugged "must be my imgaination"
"Where's Sabrina?" she heard, Carter ask from outside
Turning back to the exit; the red head headed back out of the burning building and returned to her friends "What's up?" she asked
"Monster detected at the second Power Plant," Carter informed her "Lets go!"
She nodded and followed after them; jumping onto her Phoenix Cycle as it arrived with the others. A side-car had been fitted onto the side of Carter's and Ryan occupied it, as they blasted away from the first Power Plant and on towards the second, taking out a Batling baricade on their way.
-Scene-
"He's in this one!" Carter announced, leading his team to the first doorway of the second power plant
Sabrina frowned "and you know this how?" she mumured, but never got an answer as she followed the others inside. The monster in fact, was already waiting for them when they entered.
"Rangers," he growled "How predictable"
"We're here to shut you down!" Carter shouted at him
"That's ridiculous!" the monster responded "You'll never stop me! Batlings!"
And on cue the Batlings appeared, racing towards the Rangers. Immediately splitting up, the rangers took out their own group of foot soldiers before the monster threw himself from the top of the balcony and sent Dana and Joel out of the Power plant like they were dolls. Chad and Carter followed them as Kelsey and Sabrina kept their own against the monster, before they too hit the ground, with the two girls down the monster took off after Chad and Carter who had made it back to their feet, before Ryan jumped through the air and attacked from behind, turning the table on the monster.
Carter nodded his thanks at the Titanium Ranger "V-Lancers!" he added after a while, as the weapons appeared in the six original rangers hands. At first the monster seems unphazed by the attacks, before the double teaming began. Joel and Dana, flipped over mid-flight as Carter and Chad rolled across the ground to avoid attacks, the Green and Pink rangers connected their V-lancers as sparks flew. Ryan and Kelsey were next to attack followed up by Chad and Carter; the monster jumped away from the rangers as it attempted to escape but was finally put down for the count as Sabrina jumped forward, spun her V-Lancer around and slashed vertically downwards. The monster sparked with green energy before exploding.
"We've gotta get back to the fire!" Carter announced, after the monster had been dealt with "Come on!"
The others nodded and they each took off back to the first Power plant.
-Scene-
Upon return, the team of seven found a small group of school kids in a group outside of the power plant; but no Captain Mitchell were did they come from? Sabrina frowned, her gaze lingering on the children and their teacher. They were covered in soot and ash, and the children were coughing like they had inhaled too much smoke. She grimaced they must have been inside she concluded.
"Excuse me," Carter's voice sounded, and Sabrina looked up to see he had caught hold of a fireman "do you know where Captain Mitchell is?"
"There's a little girl still inside," the fireman answered
Oh no, Sabrina thought as she looked up at the burning building he must have gone back in she added
"He went in to find her," the fireman confirmed Sabrina's thoughts
Dana started forward "Oh no," she mumured, stopping as Sabrina pulled her back from the blaze and heat of the flames.
"He'll need back-up!" Carter stated, also moving forward
The fireman stopped him "No, its too dangerous!" he stated "that buildings about to blow!"
"I'll go!" Sabrina declared, before sprinting forwards towards the flames, she could hear her friends shouting for her to be safe from behind as the firemen yelled for her to stop and come back. But she didnt pay any attention to them, as she continued to run. She disappeared into the flames, before stopping at the sound of footsteps. She turned around to see Carter following behind her "You're getting faster!" she grinned
"Lets find Captain Mitchell," he stated
Sabrina nodded "and the little girl"
Carter run ahead of Sabrina, up a flight of metal stairs only to stop when he reached the top as a small fire cut him off. Brushing past the red ranger, Sabrina absorbed the heat and the flames died down "Go!" she told him, and he nodded as he continued, with her following absorbing the smaller fires that cut them off here and there. Soon they reached the top landing.
"Captain Mitchell!" Carter shouted "Where are you?"
"Carter," Sabrina called, motioning for him to be quiet "Do you here that?"
"Im afraid"
It was a little girl's whimper, looking up the two red rangers peered into the room at the end of the hallway, just in time to see a small girl around the age of 7 or 8 run towards them as Captain Mitchell held a fall pipe that was coming away from the ceiling "Hi," Sabrina smiled, as she caught the little girl and pulled her behind Carter "Its gonna be okay" she reassured "We'll get you out of here!" the little girl nodded and Sabrina held her small frame close, as she looked up and back into the room "Captain Mitchell!"
He was pushing the heavy pipe off of his shoulder as sparks flew from the heat of the blaze and the electricity wires; he cried out in pain, as Carter's visior snapped open and he was looking as if he had seen a ghost. The little girl whimpered at the sparks and Sabrina held her closer, wrapping her arms around the girls shoulders and mumuring soothing whispers to her.
"Can it be?" Carter mumured, but Sabrina chose to ignore it
Raising his hand Captain Mitchell, motioned for them to take the little girl and get out "Go!" he ordered
"Yes, sir!" Carter nodded
Sabrina hesitated; but did as instructed; her arms wrapped around the little girl tighter as flames wrapped around them both and Carter and they disappeared from the burning building. Reappearing outside, as the other children and the school teacher gasped in surprise as Sabrina appeared beside them. "Jinny!" the teacher exclaimed, as she reached for the little girl in Sabrina's arms "Are you alright?"
The little girl nodded
"You got her!" Dana exclaimed, rushing forward
"Captain Mitchell, got her" Carter corrected
Sabrina patted the girls shoulder "You're okay now," she smiled, before returning to the other rangers as they stood in front of the burning building waiting for their Captain to return, when he didnt appear; the rangers turned to the sound of shouting as seconds later the firemen started to run backwards as the building exploded.
"Oh no!" Carter exclaimed "Captain Mitchell!"
Fearing the worst, the Rangers all rushed forward inspecting the still heated blaze for any signs of the Captain; there was none "No!" Dana cried falling to her knees.
"Look!" Kelsey stated, pointing to the side of the building where a rope had been thrown down, and Captain Mitchell was slowly easing himself down onto the ground beneath him. The others let out a soft chuckle, as Dana run forward in relief for her father's life.
"Oh father!" Dana gushed, hugging her dad
Carter smiled "Nice going Captain," he nodded
"Is the girl okay?" Mitchell asked
Sabrina nodded "Thanks to you," she smiled
Mitchell laughed as he turned to hug Ryan, as the others congratualted him on his narrow escape and rescue of the little girl. Meanwhile, Carter watched on, his face clouding over as he stared at the Captain, before becoming lost in a memory. The moment was cut short, as the ground shook and the monster from before grew to immense heights, towering over the city.
"Come on guys!" Carter commanded his team "Lets do it! Rail Rescue's on track!"
The rail rescues appeared and Sabrina followed the rangers into them; but she had other plans. Giddy from amount of energy she had replenished in she waited for the Lightspeed Megazord to be created before calling forth her Phoenix Zord and flaming into the cockpit. "Lets finish him," she stated over the intercom, as she flew around the Megazord and monster waiting for the final attack so she could absorb more energy into her Phoenix Zord to power it, as it was still low on energy. "Its okay Phoenix," she mumured "You'll feel better soon!" and she patted the console in front of her, she didnt care if people thought her crazy for talking to a hunk of metal...the Phoenix Zord was her baby, she had worked too hard to lose it now.
For most of the battle the Monster got in a few decent hits, before the Rangers tired and peeved that their day off had been ruined by the likes of Olympius, started to fight back. Using the ladder arms on the Megazord, Carter and the others tossed him around like a rag doll before slamming into him numerous times sending him to the ground with Earthquake results. In the end Carter called for the Lightspeed Sabre and a series of slashes later the Monster rippled with energy; as it usually did before it exploded.
"Energy levels critical!" Sabrina's systems mumured, scaring the red head half to death as she looked down at her console. Not once in the three years of having the Phoenix Zord had it spoken in an automatic voice and told her the energy levels were critical. But she couldnt argue that they were wrong, most of the lights that occupied her console were in fact flashing red to show the danger signs of low energy, and her body protested with each moment she made. Something was seriously wrong, she had been fine up until now. A yawn escaped her lips and frightfully enough the red head became aware of the fact that she was slowly falling asleep at the controls. Worry turned to panic, as she was jolted awake when the Phoenix dropped slightly in the air "This is it!" she mumured, pulling back on the controls as the wings of her Zord spread wide and she headed further into the air, so that she wouldnt crash.
Just as the Phoenix had taken off into the air, a horde of Batlings appeared on the ground confusing the other Rangers to no end "What are they doing here?" Dana questioned, as the monster exploded.
The explosion came as no surprise, and Sabrina pushed forward on her controls as the Phoenix flew straight towards the blast; but instead of the usual orange, red and scarlet flames that issued from a destroyed monster, a cloud of white erupted into the atmosphere. Sabrina's eyes widened as her brain shut down and she hit the cloud of white within seconds, not even giving herself a chance to turn and run. It was like being buried from the neck down in snow. The inside of the Phoenix froze over, as Sabrina felt the ice coldness wrap around her arms, legs and entire body. A ear-splitting scream was heard from the cock-pit as she lost control of the Phoenix and plummetted to the ground below.
"Sabrina!" Kelsey screamed, as she watched the Phoenix go down; its screeching mixing with Sabrina's screams before the red head was suddenly ejected from her beloved Zord. The Phoenix hit the ground and skidded a few feet away, as Sabrina hit the ground and rolled. Her suit disappeared, as her small frame finally came to a stop. She landed on her stomach, clutching her arms around her shoulders and shivering as her patches of white started to form on the motocross gear that she was wearing. Even from 30ft the other rangers could see she was freezing and something was wrong because she was almost motionless. But before they had a chance to react; the Batlings that had appeared, surrounded the fallen red head and disappered in a flash of purple.
"No!" Carter yelled "Sabrina!"
But there was no answer over the communicator and the Phoenix Zord had disappeared in a puff of flames, the second Sabrina had disappeared.
"She's gone..." Chad mumured
-Scene-
"...The rangers must be destroyed," Olympius growled as he approached Vypra and Loki, who had been discussing the planet's alignment "by the time we bring my mother back!"
Vypra turned to the young prince "Don't worry Prince Olympius," she assured him "Queen Bansheera will return! We can garauntee it!"
"How?" Olympius demanded
His question was answered as a horde of Batlings appeared in front of him, Vypra and Loki, surrounding a bruised, half frozen and semi-conscious Sabrina between them. The red head; groaned as she raised her head an inch or so off the floor and glared at the darkness around her, she couldnt see very much, but she could just make out several different legs in her line of vision. Two of which stuck out better than any. She was at Skull Cavern! It didnt take a genius to figure that one out, one pair of legs approached her body, as laughter reached her senses, the next second...she was moving. Being lifted into the air as the laughter surrounded her and darkness over-came her visual and memory senses "You can try and bring back your Queen!" she hissed at Vypra, Olympius and Loki "but you will die by the hands of the Phoenix!" and seconds later the darkness overwhelmed her and she passed out in the arms of Olympius.
Vypra smirked "Black Phoenix: Phase 1" she spoke "Complete!"
"Now for Phase 2," Olympius agreed
-Scene-
Meanwhile, back at the Aquabase, neither of the rangers felt the need to celebrate their day off anymore. Besides, how could they celebrate knowing that on of their own was in the clutches of evil? The same person that they had promised to help fight the demons with so that she could survive. They had failed her. Lead her into danger when they should have realized it was a trap! The whole thing, the Power Plant...energy for her to revive herself, the monster attack; the beginning of the plan. It had all be thought out and played through and it had worked. Neither of the rangers had thought anything different of a monster attack in the city, none of them thought anything along the lines of 'this is a trap! Protect Sabrina! Don't call her in for back-up!' if they had thought that then, Sabrina would be safe, the monster would be dealt with and Mariner bay would be ten times more safer than it was now.
"It was a trap," Ryan spoke, cutting through the silence that had fallen. The Rangers were sitting in the de-briefing room with Captain Mitchell and Ms. Fairweather, who had had the rangers explain to them exactly what had happened during the Megazord battle "Olympius set a trap and it played through. He wanted Sabrina, he got her!"
"Yes, but how?" Angela asked, not liking the situation one bit. Not only was she worried about the red head's life, but she was also worried about how she was supposed to tell Hayley that her daughter was gone.
Carter shook his head "He played on Sabrina's need to draw fire into herself," he explained "Olypmius knew that Sabrina was lacking energy. The demons they...they know more about the Phoenix than we do, even more so than Sabrina...I think. The played on her weakness and they came out on top"
Captain Mitchell nodded "The question still remains: What are they going to do with her?"
"Its obvious," Kelsey spoke up "Their gonna use her powers to bring back the Queen!"
Joel nodded "Sabrina, figured that one out on her own" he stated "That's why she's been so on edge since Olympius turned up"
"We have to get her back!" Chad agreed
"But how?" Dana asked
The rangers sighed as they deflated...they may have almost won the War - but the Battle had yet to begin and the Real trouble...was only just beginning.
A/N: Argh! The demons have Sabrina! I warned you that this chapter had it all! What are the Rangers to do now? Will the save Sabrina? Or is this the end of the Phoenix? Keep reading to find out.
