The Phoenix Series

Lightspeed Rescue: The Phoenix Prophecy

By xXxKaraBeckerCutterxXx

Author's Note: This episode wasnt particularly one of my favourites and I had trouble trying to put Comet Warrior's plot line into my perspective to write the story. My fault not his. But I had already updated two stories of my own so my head just wasnt in the writing stage at the time. That and every movement I make cause's a serious flare to erupt from my foot. I fell down my cousins garden steps Halloween night and jacked up my ankle. And its seriously hurting me.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OCs and anything unrecognizable.

The Omega Project

"Hey mom, just calling to make sure you got home safely," Sabrina said, as she pressed her cellphone to her ear. She had just called her friends to make sure they had made it home safely and were glad to hear they had. Connor was back to figuring out how to raise money to open up his own Soccer club. Ethan was still helping Tommy with the computers in the Dino Lab. Kira was back in Miami with Abby recording her new CD and Cam and Leanne were back at the Thunder Academy. The only person she wasnt able to get in touch of was her mother "...Im just heading to the transport bay now to check out the new designs you and Cam helped Angela with. I bet their great...well, I gotta go, talk to you soon. Love you. Bye" she ended the call after leaving a voicemail on her mother's cellphone and landline; before grabbing her hoodie and hurrying from her room and out into the transport bay where the others were waiting.

"Morning," Angela greeted her cheerfully "You okay?"

The red head nodded "Yeah. Just called my friends to make sure they got home. Everyone's safe"

"And your mother?"

"Can't get through to her," Sabrina answered "she's either passed out from the trip; or doing inventory down in the Cybercafe"

Angela nodded "Okay. Well, what I want to show you is this..." she removed Carter's Battle Booster from its case "Its a simple modification, so that from now on the battle boosters will be able to operate the Max Solarzord via remote" she handed the device to Carter "You'll need it to initiate the Omega Megazord?"

"Omega Megazord?" Dana asked

Angela turned back to the screens and brought up the new Zords "Its the very latest in Zord technology," she got up and patted Sabrina's shoulder "Thanks to Sabrina's mother Hayley and her friend Cam, who helped me design and create them. You're mom really is a Computer science genius"

"Tell me about it," Sabrina responded "People often wonder if I take after her,"

"You're good with computers"

Sabrina shrugged "I aint no genius; but being the daughter to one...you pick up a few things" she chuckled. Angela nodded and left the room.

"This is amazing!" Chad breathed

Carter nodded in agreement patting Sabrina's shoulder for her mothers hard work and input into the design and creation. Note to self: Sabrina thought as her team-mates went back to staring at the monitor report back to Mom and Cam that the team approve of their designs.

Meanwhile; as the other Rangers and Sabrina over-looked the new designs, Joel appraoched Ms. Fairweather beyond the glass. But the older woman did not look too pleased about it either, although she did wear and amused grin on her face, just then Carter turned to window followed by the others. "Incredible Ms. Fairweather," he stated, as Joel jumped in surprise hiding something behind his back

"You had something for me Joel?" she asked, turning back to the Green ranger with a questionable glance

Joel smiled at her, glanced across at his friends who were looking at him expectantly "Huh..." he trailed off, as his morpher beeped from behind his back and he raised it to answer; bringing with him a bouquet of white flowers, his eyes widened as he grabbed the flowers and hid them behind his back as his friends laughed at his expense.

"Joel...Joel..." someone's voice echoed down the morpher, causing a small frown to appear on Sabrina's face. Who was calling him over the morpher? She and the other were inspecting the new zords that her mother and Cam had helped create with Angela; the woman in question was chuckling in amusement at Joel's puppy love behaviour and attempts to impress her out in the transport bay, and Captain Mitchell was mulling over a sea of paperwork in his office...at least he was...now, he was actually standing in front of Joel a rather unimpressed look upon his features.

-Scene-

"Sorry I didnt answer you call earlier, sweetie" Hayley apologized down the line, to her daughter. Sabrina had just contacted her after her usual morning training routine; just to let her know that the designs had gone over great with the rest of the team. She had called Cam and left a message seeing as he was out on the training fields with Leanne so leaving a message was her only choice; she hadnt gone into great detail, like how she would have if she had been talking to Cam himself but she merely told it the designs were a hit with the Lightspeed team and Angela was thankful for his help "Was it important? Is everything okay?"

Sabrina smiled "Everything is fine mom," she reassured "I just wanted to make sure you had gotten home safe"

"Realx sweetie. Everything is fine"

"Good" Sabrina nodded, although Hayley couldnt see her "How is everything? You know, since you've gotten back? Hows the Cafe?"

Hayley sighed down the line "Inventory is all to hell..." she answered "I just dropped everything when I got the call from Hunter a few days ago. But you're worth it"

"Mom..." Sabrina drew out, although she smiled, at least she was proud to say she had a mother that cared about her

Hayley responded in the form of a chuckle, before it was drowned out by the sound of the alarm blaring. Sabrina jumped almost a foot in the air, as she glanced up at the ceiling a frown on her face, what did she expect from a group of demons bent on destroying Mariner Bay and restoring their Queen's kingdom. "Sabrina...is that?"

"Mom, I have to go!" Sabrina said quickly "I'll call you later okay? Love you"

"Love you!" was heard down the line, before the connection disappeared as Sabrina ended the call. She pocketed her cellphone and took off for the briefing room.

-Scene-

Sabrina frowned as she rested her palms on the de-briefing table "An astroid?" she asked "How the hell do we fight that? Isnt it a cosmic thing?"

"Yes" Captain Mitchell answered "You must destroy it before it hits Earth"

The red head opened her mouth to ask 'how' when Angela interrupted "Use the Lightspeed Solarzord! Maximise its laser usage...two high voltage shots should be enough. Once the astroid has been hit, it will explode into a series of smaller rocks which will burn up in our atmosphere" she explained

"Oh," Sabrina nodded, before looking at Carter "Ready?"

The red ranger nodded and the six rangers took off for the Zord bay.

-Scene-

"Alright, lets blast this Astroid back to where it came from," Carter stated, from his cockpit

The others nodded in agreement "Right!" they saluted before powering up the lasers

"Targets in our sights and locked on!" Kelsey declared, as the Megazord lined up from the streets of Mariner Bay and prepared to fire lasers

"Charging lasers to full power!" Dana stated

Using the sun's rays the solar panels on the outside of the Megazord glowed brightly

"Ready to fire at your command!" Chad proclaimed

Carter nodded "Alright, lets blow this thing right out of the sky" he told the others

"Full power!" Joel stated as the lasers reached maximum capacity

Sabrina grinned "Fire!" she commanded

The lasers were deployed as energy gathered in orbs at the end of them; before they were ignited and firey gold lasers shot from the Megazord and out into the deep, dark, emptiness that was space. The lasers hit the meteorite as smaller bits were blown off of it and into the atmosphere.

"Its working!" Carter declared "One more blast should do the trick!"

Sabrina activated the lasers "Setting lasers to recharge!" she reported

"Carter you've got to stop Olympius!" Ms. Fairweather's voice echoed over the morphers, as each of the six rangers frowned as they searched for the red demon son. Their search was cut short as the second the solar panels on the front of their Megazord had started to lit up, the dimmed as the sun seemed to divert its rays away from them and the inside of the Zord became dark.

"What's hapening?" Carter questioned

Kelsey frowned "Energy levels are dropping!"

"We're losing all of our power!" Dana equipped

"Something's blocking the sunlight," Chad added on

Sabrina shook her head "Not something...someone!" she stated over the com's link "Look! There's the reason!" she had found Olympius. He hadnt shimmered in a few feet away from the Mgeazord and was laughing manically at them "Get him!" and she ejected herself from the cockpit of her Zord as the others followed behind her. They landed and seconds later a fight ensued. Carter reached Olympius first and was dealt with quickly followed by the others. Bringing up the rear, Sabrina high kicked the demon who grabbed her ankle and threw her backwards causing her to role into Kelsey who was attempting to get back to her feet.

"You're out of tricks rangers!" Olympius growled

Carter pushed himself up "Not yet!" he stated and raised his battle booster "555! Battle Boosters activate!"

And six Battle boosters appeared on the arms of six rangers.

"Fire!"

Throwing their arms forward six multi-coloured strands of energy flew across the street towards Olympius who attempted to block the attack, seemingly struggling to keep the blast away from him "You will never get me to retreat from my mission!" he stated.

Why isnt he fighting at full strength? Sabrina frowned He's normally alot stronger than this. Pooling most of her fire power, she ignited her battle booster energy and surged it into her fists. There was a puff of smoke and a few sparks as Olympius stumbled backwards. But the answer to her unasked and unanswered question came over the morphers.

"Rangers, the astroid is moving faster than we thought! The Megazord cant bring it down!" Angela told them

Olympiys smirked "Why don't you admit your defeat?" he demanded

Chad frowned "What are we gonna do now?"

"There must be a way to bring that Astroid down?" Dana questioned

There was a moments silence before Angela addressed the Rangers once more "Rangers, return to the Aquabase! Its time to initiate the Omega Project"

-Scene-

The Omega Project. The only project that was suitable enough to take down the astroid, basically it involved the Rangers initaiting the Zord sequence to create the Omega Megazord and travelling into Space themselves to destroy the astroid up close and personal. "I dont know if I can do this..." Sabrina mumured, as she sat on the floor of Hunter's lab resting against the wall her head pressed firmly against the hard surface behind her. Hunter was knelt in front of her working on her Fire Cycle and their pleasure bikes but also trying to console her that nothing was remotely wrong with this new project "Maybe I should call my mom?"

"No!" Hunter said quickly, spinning around and snatching the cellphone from his girlfriends hands as she prepared to dial her home number "Your mother just left you; the last thing she needs to know about is this!"

Sabrina frowned "But maybe she can help?" she protested "Hunter; Angela said it herself! This is a 'do or die' situation! What happens if it tilts more to 'die' than anything else?" she asked, her voice taking on a panicked tone.

The blonde sighed, abandoned the Fire Cycle and dropped down onto the floor beside her "Come here..." he said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and holding her close "Sabrina, listen to me...we've been in scary situations before. Remember Shimazu and the Wolfblades -"

"That was childs play compared to this!" the red head argued "Shimazu was a freaky china clown, who set his three wolves on Blue Bay because he couldnt get his own way!"

Hunter chuckled at her summary "Okay...how about, Zathura?" he asked "You know; that human black hole that sent you back in time?"

"Techincally the Phoenix sent be back in time," Sabrina pointed out "You know...protection and all"

"Hey, little Miss 'Answer-for-everything' just shut up and listen"

Sabrina frowned and fell quiet

"Going more recent..." Hunter tried again "The Phoenix -" he held up his hand "find something to contridict about that and you're on your own"

The red head grinned and fell silent "I wasnt gonna say anything..."

"Yeah right" Hunter mumured "But I'd say the Phoenix is alot worse scenario than going into space"

"Exactly!" Sabrina exclaimed, getting to her feet and turning around "What if something goes wrong with the launch? Huh, I might be fine and I might be able to flame out with the others..." she sighed "but where on Earth am I supposed to go?"

Hunter opened his mouth to retort "You could -"

"And - Worse case scenario!" Sabrina interrupted "If im exposed to that much fire; its the Phoenix all over again!"

Pushing himself up Hunter caught Sabrina's arm and caused her to face him "Look at me!" he said "Relax! You're working yourself up over nothing! Everything is going to be fine..." he watched her sigh before hugging her "You've faced worse...we both have and we managed to overcome it. This...this is just another bump in the road."

"Im scared" she mumured

"I know" he nodded

There was a beep and Sabrina shook uncontrollably, causing Hunter to hold her tighter. The only time he had seen her like this was...actually, he had never seen her so scared. Obviously she had been scared in the past like when her uncle had become a human fossil or when he had been put into a coma. But she had never been terrified before, she always so the light at the end of the tunnel but right now it was like she couldnt see anything but darkness. Still holding her tightly, Hunter walked her along the corridors towards the transport bay where the other Rangers were preparing for launch. With a reassuring hug and small kiss for good luck, Sabrina pulled away from Hunter and joined Carter and the others on the elevator.

"Ready?" Carter asked

The red head looked nervous; but nodded nonetheless.

"Lets do it!" the red ranger nodded

The others agreed and morphed "Lightspeed Rescue!" and falling into formation the elevator lowered down, as Sabrina locked her gaze with Hunter's before he disappeared from view.

-Scene-

Once in the her Zord, Sabrina strapped herself in and prepared to launch; as the others followed suit around her

"Omega ready!" Angela stated over the com "prepare for final countdown...10...9...8...7...6..."

Glancing across his friends to see they were all ready, Carter nodded "Max Solarzord online!"

"5...4...3...2...1" Angela finished the countdown "Ignition! Lift off initiated!"

There was a low rumble and the inside of the cock-pits vibrated slightly as the engine of the Megazord sprang to life and lifted them up off the launch pad and headlong into the dark abyss of Space. The trip was relatively a smooth one a little rockety but Sabrina guessed that was just from the rumble of the engine from the Max Solarzord. That and it wasnt exactly a road trip. The smoothness, however, disappeared once they were closer to the astroid's atmosphere. This is where the real fun began.

"Entering Astroid Shower!" Carter exclaimed, as they burst past the first astroid and into the atmosphere surrounding their target. "Time to give the Megazords a try!" the red ranger added

Leaving the Rail Rescues, the Rangers took to their Omega Zords.

"Omega Zords!" Carter stated "Engage!"

And out of the Rail Rescues the rangers moved coming together in mid-space to create the Omega Crawler. Sabrina compressing herself and sliding in with Carter's Zord to form the body. They swooped over the Astroid once looking for a place to land, only to find that it was too rocky or jagged to land safely.

"There's no place to land!" Sabrina stated the obvious

Chad shook his head "Then I guess I'll have to make one!" he fired his lasers

"Excellent work, Chad!" Carter nodded as they landed

Joel smirked "Nice landing!"

"Now lets see what this Bad Boy can do!" Sabrina grinned

Slowly Carter moved the crawler across the surface of the Astroid before coming to a halt a few inches from the core of the Astroid "This is where we must plant the first explosive!" he told the others "Dana!"

The pink ranger nodded "Deploying drill arms!"

The arms lowered down towards the astroid; the hand spun immensly fast as it moved straight through the rock and Kelsey carefully lowered the explosive into the hole.

"Careful with that thing Kelsey," Joel told the yellow ranger "You do not want to drop that!"

Sabrina rolled her eyes

"Quit it!" Kelsey sighed "Im nervous enough!"

And she carefully lowered the explosive into the hole and withdrew the arm.

"1 down..." Sabrina breathed "Can we hurry this up? This place gives me the creeps!"

Chad nodded "Me too!"

"Okay," Carter commented "Keep it together. We're almost done"

Once the first explosive was set in place; the Omega Crawler took off in to the air once more and searched for the second position for the second explosive. They located it quickly and set down, as Dana and Kelsey deployed the arms drilled into the surface and planted the explosives.

"2 down!" Sabrina nodded, turning to Carter "Can we get out of here now?"

The red ranger glanced back at the red head, frowning at her nervous behaviour. But he guessed after her little trip with the Phoenix; a mission like this would cause her to feel nervous. Ms. Fairweather had said it was a 'do or die' mission. And since Sabrina couldnt techincally die until she was at least 33, she would just revert back into the Phoenix if anything went wrong up here. He nodded "Yeah...we can get out of here now" he reassured her, and pulled back on his controls as they lifted into the air.

Just then the hair on the back of Sabrina's neck stood on end at the voice of a very unwelcomed guest reached her senses No! she complained

"Leaving so soon Rangers?" It was Queen Bansheera "I wouldnt hear of it!"

Fear turned to panic as the Astroid suddenly became alive and the Omega Crawler became lodged between its stone like arms "No!" Sabrina exclaimed, her mind flashing to the worst scene scenario as the Omega Crawler tried to escape.

"Pull out!" Angela's voice sounded over the intercom's as sparks flew from inside the Omega Crawler "Rangers! Get out of there!"

At Angela's voice Sabrina panicked, she could get them out - but where would she go? She couldnt flame them back to Earth...it was too far! And there was no where for them to land where they would be safe in Space. They were trapped.

"We cant!" Carter responded "The Astroid's alive!"

Kelsey whimpered "Its got a hold on us!"

"We dont have enough power!" Dana exclaimed

As the Astroid continued to destroy the Megazord from the outside, Carter declared the only option they had left. "We'll have to detonate the explosive's manually!"

"No, Carter it's too dangerous!" Captain Mitchell sounded

Sabrina's panicked only seemed to worsen at her leaders words; she had warned Hunter about this Oh God! she thought as she awaited for the beginning of the end...again!

Ignoring the Captain, Carter put his plan into action "Initiating Omega Megazord!" he commanded. There were a series of explosions as the arms that were wrapped around them exploded and disintergrated as the Megazord stood tall on the surface of the Astroid "It worked!"

"Omega Megzord!" Chad stated "Transformation complete!"

Reaching out onto her control panel, Sabrina readied the missiles "Activating Omega Missile!" she commented, moving the controls a fraction of an inch. Despite her mind screaming at her to stop while she was head and to look for another soultion. She knew there wasnt one. This was the only way...despite the consequences that could occur. The Megazord's spear twirled through the air before it was brought down with full force and speared straight through the Astroid and onto the explosive that had just been buried.

"This had better work!" Joel stated as explosions rippled through the Astroid and the Megazord.

The astroid seemed to slice in half before it was engulfed in flames. The feed linking the Megazord to the Aquabase was cut as the explosions disconnected the connection leaving the Aquabase with a screen of snow. Each personnel, including Captain Mitchell, Angela and Hunter watched with mixed emotions. Relief - because the astroid was destroyed and Earth was safe. But also fear - because they had no way of knowing if the Rangers had survived or if they had just lost more than just their best Ranger team; they had lost friends, family, girlfriend.

Come on Sabrina Hunter found himself thinking as he watched the monitors with anticipation; this couldnt be the end! This couldnt be the end of the Power Rangers. At least not Power Rangers in General, because there would always be a new team; but this couldnt be the end of the Lightspeed rangers. He refused to believe that this was over. And not just for Sabrina; but for Carter, Chad, Joel, Kelsey and Dana as well. They had become his friends through Sabrina and by becoming his and Sabrina's friends...they had initially became apart of the ever growing family Sabrina had through her Ranger teams. The red head's family started with just her, Hayley and Tommy...it then grew when she met the Ninja Storm team in Blue Bay Harbour; it increased when she went to Reefside and met Connor, Ethan, Kira and Trent. And now here in Mariner Bay it was still growing with this new team.

Dana and Kelsey; two more older sisters. Chad, Carter, Joel and Ryan; four more brothers. Even Captain Mitchell and Angela were considered family in Sabrina's sense of logic and that made them his family too. Just when all of Lightspeed thought hope for the Rangers was lost...the one call they all wanted to hear, finally came through, sparking relief and surprise to take hold inside them all.

"Captain Mitchell! Can you hear me?"

It was Carter - he was alive!

"Can anyone hear us?" the red ranger continued to ask "The Astroid has been destroyed...and we're still in one piece!"

The Aquabase was admist the celebration. Happiness for the success of the Rangers and relief because they were alive.

"Mission accomplished sir! We're heading for home!"

-Scene-

The return to the Aquabase was a relief for each member of the Ranger team; seeing as neither one of them actually thought they would see it at all again. They were lucky to have survived the detonation hadnt it been for the quick reconfigure of the Zords and the quick skill of Joel and Sabrina's flying skills; only just as had they managed to evade the surface of the astroid before it exploded completely. Once they were floating admist in the atmosphere of the Astroid it was childs play to turn and head back to Earth.

"Am I glad to home!" Sabrina stated, as they arrived in the transport bay safe and sound, before heading to Rescue Ops where they were sure everyone would be waiting for them,

The others nodded in agreement; there was a moment of panic even for them when they were on the Astroid. All they could think about was if they made one false move...it would have been the end of them as much as the end of the world. But they had pulled through, just like they always did. It was their jobs as Power Rangers to protect the city. They wouldnt have been doing their job if they had allowed themselves to be destroyed and left Mariner Bay unprotected from the Demons. How was that fair?

Reaching Rescue Ops, the doors slid open and a burst of applause reached their senses as the whole personnel of the Aquabase seemed to be waiting for them. Cheering and congratulating them on a job well done. Shaking hands with others, Sabrina's gaze scanned the crowd as she finally located who she was looking for. Pushing her way through other personnel she run straight into the arms of Hunter and hugged him tightly, afraid to leave him go.

"I thought I lost you, for a while back then" he told her

She smiled as she held him "You'll never lose me" she promised "I'll always come back"

But I honestly thought I'd never see you again she added mindfully, unknowningly knowing that Hunter was thinking the exact same thing.

A/N: Not exactly one of my bests; but I managed to write something. Could have been worse. I'll try and get the next chapter out faster...but I cant make any promises. College is starting to come down heavy and I've got an assignment in Psychology to re-do. Then next week updates are gonna be slow on just about all my stories. I have several assignments next week. All within the first three days of the week. So bare with me. Thanks.
