As Time Runs Out
The soft humming of the Rescue Rover was all that could be heard throughout the dense, brightly lit and very warm desert as the Lightspeed Rangers continued their search for the disturbance that had picked up back at the Aquabase. Dana sat up front with Carter, as Sabrina sat alongside her enjoying the ride. Today had started off quiet, she was going to spend it updating her journal, spend some undivided time with Hunter and just sit back and relax after everything she and the team had been through, they deserved a day of relaxation didnt they? Everything had been quiet up until the damn alarm echoed shrilly and they were called into investigate. Not that it mattered, yes they had a disturbance to check out, and it was out right in the middle of the desert; but they could at least enjoy the ride.
"The disturbance came from this area," Dana informed Carter, who was at the wheel
The red ranger glanced across at her and nodded "Lets check it out," he stated, pulling the Rover over and the six rangers hopped out and onto the sandy ground. As five out of six rangers stuck together, Chad broke off and run in a completely different direction to his friends.
"Do you think we can stop for food on the way home?" Sabrina asked
"We have a job to do Sabrina," Carter told her "How can you think of food?"
The Red head paused in her search "Uh, because if there was anything strange going on out here, I would sense it?" she asked "Phoenix!" she added in an almost 'duh' expression
Carter was about to respond when Chad's voice cut through the atmosphere "Over here!" he called, the others turned in his direction to see him waving them over.
"Normal, huh?" Joel asked, patting Sabrina's shoulder
"Define: normal, in our world?" the Red questioned
The Green ranger chuckled "Good point" he answered, walking forward with the others, until the reached Chad's side.
There sticking out of the sand was a rather thick, hand-shaped plant. Exchanging confused looks, Sabrina walked forward and reached towards the plant her fingers burning as her fire powers coursed through her bloodstream and into her palm. This plant was not normal, it had to be destroyed.
"Wait!" Carter stated, appearing beside her and grabbing her wrist, before she could touch the plant "It could be a trap"
Suddenly, as if his words had acted like a trigger, two rather long vines shot out of the plant and attached themselves to the two red rangers arms. They struggled as the others hurried forward to try and help them free; only to become wrapped up in their own vines which evidently enough were over their morphers preventing them from morphing.
"I cant get to my morpher!" Joel exclaimed, trying to pull the vines from his wrist
"Come on you stupid thing!" Sabrina growled "Get off!"
But the more the rangers struggled the more it became known that the vines were stuck and not easily removed. "It is no use trying to remove the vines," a raspy voice screeched, and seconds later a monster stood before the rangers "They wont release their hold until they've expelled their spores" it cackled
"Spores?" Dana questioned
"That's right!" The monster rasped "at 12 noon, the blooms will open and spew out millions of poisonous spores all over Mariner Bay! Destroying everything in their path, and the charming citzens will have you Rangers to thank for that"
Sabrina's eyes widened at the prospect of everyone dying because of millions of tiny spores.
"You're plan will never work!" Carter shouted
The monster turned to look at the sun behind him "In one hour it will be noon," he stated "and you will find out"
"Not if we bake you first!" Sabrina shot back "Destroy the creator -" she pointed at the monster "- destroy the creation!" she held up the bloom already formed on her morpher "Phoenix Fire Blast!" she added, as an arry of flames shot out of her hand and wrapped around the area where the monster was standing. There was a flash of green and the second the flames died down the monster had gone. "Damn it!" the Red head growled in frustration "I had him!"
Dana and Kelsey patted her shoulders, as she glanced at the bloom. This couldnt be how it ended! After everything she had been through, she had come too far, and it seemed that this; a stupid flower...was going to be the end of her! She glanced at her friends. The end of them!
-Scene-
11:40am. That was the time, noon was getting ever so closer and the Rangers still hadnt found a way to get the wretched flowers off their morphers. They had tried everything they could think of. Knives. Freezing. Everything but nothing seemed strong enough to remove the stubborn little blooms; that was until an idea struck Angela and she ushered the whole team into the lab to test out her new laser at the blooms. Carter adopted to test it out first seeing as he was leader and strapped himself into the chair, as his arm settled under the laser and Angela activated the laser allowing a thin green light to stream down onto the blood; smoke ripples from the flower and the rangers watch as it fell away.
"It worked!" Angela grinned, as the rangers exchanged satisfied smiles
But unfortunately it seemed the Bloom didnt want to be rid of them so soon, and instantly grew back "Maybe not!" Sabrina mumured
"Lets try this," Joel spoke, grabbing a pair of pliers and attacking the vines as Sabrina stepped back away from him, there was a snapping sound and the pliers broke in half "Damn it!"
Kelsey sighed and turned to Angela "Maybe we can isolate ourselves," she suggested "so the spores cant get out and destroy the city"
Angela looked thoughtful as she entered another section of the lab, the rangers following her. Boosting up the control panel, Angela played out Kelsey scenario for the isolation chamber, "Just as I thought," Angela sighed "The spores are too small they cant be contained" she cast the rangers fearful glances "The laser had no effect"
This cannot be how it ends! Sabrina growled to herself, after everything I have been through! I refuse to destroyed by a damn flower! Gritting her teeth Sabrina clamped her free hand over the bloom and watched as her hand ignited in flames the blaze caught her friends attention as they turned to watch her, crowding around her in hopes that the Phoenix would be strong enough to defeat the flower. Nothing could withstand heat at its heighest temperature and it was sure that the Phoenix could produce heat at that point, only thing Sabrina had to watch out for was the morpher. Maybe it couldnt take that high energy of flames before it short circuited. Ash dropped the ground through her fingers, as the others gasped.
"Sabrina remove your hand!" Angela told the teen
The red head did as told and smirked "Nothing stops the Phoenix!" she grinned, before groaning as the flower re-grew on her wrist "NO!" she yelled, before glancing at the clock.
11:45am.
"Rangers!" Captain Mitchell's voice joined the ruckus "I may have something, there is a lab on the East side of the City. It has a posion that should destroy the pods" he explained to them, slightly out of breath
Joel stepped forward "The East side?" he asked "We'll never make it there"
"Their gonna meet you half way," Mitchell informed him "at this location" he passed the papers to the rangers "You got 15 minutes. I suggest you get going"
The team exchanged looks, clambered back into the rescue rover and were gone. They needed to work fast...or face total annhilation by a flower.
-Scene-
"Carter step on it!" Sabrina shouted from the back of the rescue rover "Their opening!"
The flower on her wrist was starting to open slowly as the minutes on her wrist watch ticked slowly, the big hand getting closer and closer to the number 12. It was only a matter of time before the flowers were in full bloom and the spores were emptied into the atmosphere. Upon hearing her command, Carter put his foot down and the rover shot forward. Skidding to a halt seconds later in an empty carpark and right next to a white van, which belonged to the East side lab.
"Do you have it?" Carter asked, the moment he was out of the car
There was no time for pleasent introductions, they had a job to do, a flower to get rid of and a City to save. The scientist lifted a silver case into his arms and opened it, revealing six viles of green liquid
"Are you sure it will work?" Kelsey asked
"It will work," the scientist responded
However, the rangers never had the chance to see if he was telling the truth; an explosion echoed as a strand of energy hit the case and it fell to the floor; shattering on impact. Manical laughter joined the destruction and the rangers spun around to see the monster Vilevine celebrating at his direct hit.
"Close," he told them "but not close enough! Because in four minutes, the flowers will open, releasing the spores and then...it will be too late"
Sabrina glared hatefully at the monster, as her heart thudded in her chest; her hands shook in fear, anger and frustration; against her will tears welled in her eyes. The poison was gone and the only place to get more was too far away, Angela had tried everything inhumanly possible to remove the flowers; her fire didnt event work! They just kept regrowing. Green smoke covered the monster and he disappeared, and the second he had gone Sabrina's legs gave out underneath her and she collapsed to the ground.
"Sabrina!" Dana cried, trying to catch her friend, who landed on her knees; her head bent as her hair covered most of her face to hide the fear that was settling there. She felt useless! Completely and utterly useless. There was nothing she could do to save them this time, it was over!
"This cannot be how it ends," the red head mumured, contridicting her own thoughts "It cant be over!"
As the other rangers gathered around the fallen red head, Carter glared at the sky. Sabrina may have been right, this could have been the end...but wait, the red ranger gasped as realization dawned. It was blantely obvious! Why he hadnt thought of it before, he didnt know. "Of course," he gasped, and quickly he turned to the rangers on the ground "Sabrina!" he said, pulling the others to their feet "Come on, get up!" he told her "Its not over!"
"But we've tried everything!" Sabrina countered "My powers dont work! The poison is gone -" she pointed at the spillage on the ground ahead of them "This was our last chance!"
But Carter was stubborn "The Max Solarzord!" he stated "That is our last chance!"
But before Sabrina could ask him to elaborate on what he was getting at, the Max Solarzord was standing 30 feet high in front of them
"Move it guys!" Carter ordered, and pulling Sabrina up he ushered her and the others into the Megazord; strapping themselves in, Sabrina turned to Carter for an explanation. Isolation didnt work, so why where they in here? "The spores can't hurt anyone in outer space!" the red ranger explained, noticing her look.
Sabrina looked thoughtful before realization settled and she smirked; that was it! Not total isolation...but a back door. There was no people in space, which meant no one to infect. Suddenly the Megazord started moving and shot off into the air. Minutes passed as Sabrina tried to concentrate on anything other than the small flowers that were starting to open on hers and the others wrists, they were inches away from blossoms and tiny grains of yellow were starting to seep out from the centre. Its now or never she thought as the wrist watch Kelsey wore beeped indicating it was 12:00 noon.
"Ms. Fairweather," Carter's voice yelled from her right "Open the Shuttle door!"
The emergency beeping echoed throughout the cockpit as the shuttle doors opened and a vast high pitched wing rushed straight through the cockpit. Sabrina gasped as she clamped her hands down on the arms of the chair as she felt a tug as the gravity of the wind attempted to full her out the door, all around her her friends seemed to be struggling against the gravitational pull also; but there was nothing to stop Joel's hat being the first thing that is lost and seconds later the spores followed it out into the deepest, darkest, despair of space. Everything at first seemed to work, and Sabrina allowed herself to breath a sigh of relief as the spores were pulled into the vast atmosphere where they couldnt hurt anyone or anything.
But soon a scream echoed as Kelsey was ripped from her seat "KELSEY!" the others cried, as they latched on to the Yellow ranger who was being pulled by the winds towards the Shuttle
"Hold on!" Sabrina strained, as she reached forward the best she could without being restrained by her own seatbelt; Kelsey meanwhile was panicking as she prayed that her friends wouldnt leave go "Just a little longer Kels," the red head warned her "Just don't leave go!" but she could still feel her friend slipping from her grasp, and then she was gone "KELSEY!" the red head screamed.
Thankfully, luck seemed to be on their side for once; the moment Kelsey lost her friends grip, the doors slammed shut and the Yellow ranger hit the ground with a soft 'oomph' and the vines and blossoms fell from their wrists and withered away in front of their eyes.
"Their gone!" Kelsey breathed in relief, happy to be safe and free of the blossoms
Carter nodded "We have to get back to Earth, and finish off Vilevine"
Sabrina agreed and turning the Max Solarzord around the rangers returned to Earth
-Scene-
Reaching the city with seconds to spare, the Rangers return to find it in shambles. Vilevine didnt waste any time in destroying it in their absences and possibly thinking that they were gone for good there was no one standing in his way. "I claim this city in the name of Queen Bansheera!" Vilevine stated, unknown that his destruction was close at hand
"Sorry," Sabrina shot back as she appeared behind him, along with the other Rangers "but this city belongs to us! And we don't like sharing!"
Vilevine turned sharply to her voice "Rangers? Impossible!"
"You think your little flowers can get rid of us just like that?" Joel questioned
Kelsey shook her head "No way!"
"We disposed of them!" Dana retorted "Once and for all!" she chuckled
"Then I'll just after finish you" Vilevine retorted
Carter stepped forward "You just don't know when to quit!" he snapped "Ready?"
"Ready!"
"Lightspeed Rescue!"
They morphed and as per usual, the battlings rose to the challenge "Get 'em!" Sabrina grinned, removing her Phoenix blade from her hip and pointing it forwards at the battlings. The Rangers complied to her order and rushed forward as the Phoenix ranger followed Kelsey into battle. Slashing in every direction possible, Sabrina grinned as her Phoenix blade got the best work out it could possible endure, the Battlings didnt stand a chance.
"Ranger!" Vilevine growled, as Sabrina came an open target
The Red head smirked and turned in his direction, sheathing her sword and walking forward "If you think you can get rid of us that easily," she taunted "then you clearly don't know the Power Rangers!"
"Take that!" Vilevine growled, shooting off a series of lasers at the Phoenix ranger, who merely walked through them unharmed
"Oh, and for future reference," Sabrina added "I like my flowers cut, wrapped in ribbon and put in a vase." she removed her Phoenix Blade once more and twirled in her hand, before grasping it tightly "Not tryna kill me!" and she slashed both diagaonally and vertically as the monster stumbled backwards away from her.
Taking a step back Sabrina watched as her team-mates attacked with their V-lancers before joining her "Spectrum Blast!" Carter ordered "Aim!"
"FIRE!" Sabrina ordered, throwing out her hand as a series of high end heat wave flames washed over Vilevine and watching as he crumbled beneath the heat. "Literally!" she added, earning a chuckle from her team-mates.
But as per usual, and the rangers were ready for it this time, the monster returned 30ft tall "Omegazords online!" Carter commanded "Lets do it!"
And the rangers took to their Zords, before forming their current Megazord transfiguration. Moments after configuring, Lightning crashed down and the entire city became lit with flames. Sabrina growled. "Hey, if anyone's gonna destroy the city with flames, it will be Phoenix!" she spat "So ripping my powers off!"
"So not the time," Chad mumured
But the red head shrugged
"Its payback time, Rangers" Vilevine growled
Sabrina's eyes narrowed as she pushed forward on her controls "Actually its time for you to say bye-bye!" she responded "Omega Missile!" thanks to the determination of the red head, the Omega megazord shot forward through the laser attacks, and fired off a missile which embedded in the side of the monster. Then weilding the Omega Staff, Carter slashed downwards and destroyed the Monster in a single strike.
Vilevine exploded
"Thats how you do it," Sabrina grinned "Power Ranger Style!"
The others chuckled at her enthusiasm of the fight.
Before they headed back home
-Scene-
Meanwhile, back at the Aquabase Hunter had just recieved a special delivery and was in pursuit of searching for his girlfriend. He had special-ordered her this present for sometime now and was just waiting for them to come back, he was sure was going to love them, in truth he had never done this sort of thing for her before but he knew she was gonna like it; the one thing he had learned about Sabrina was that she was easily pleased and he didnt have to go out of his way to make her smile. She was just happy to have him around and he was more than happy to be around for her.
"Im just happy that we managed to rid ourselves of them," Sabrina's voice echoed from the corridor leading to the sleeping quarters "Those things were seriously freaking me out!"
Hunter smiled as he clutched the present he had for her and made his way towards her voice
"Yeah, its nice to know we dont have to worry about no spores destroying us," Kelsey's voice joined the conversation "Man, didnt think Flowers could be so deadly"
"Everything has a bad thing," Dana's voice issued "I guess flowers are both beautiful and dangerous"
Sabrina's laughter rebounded around the older blonde and he smiled, he loved hearing her laugh. Turning onto the very corridor that the three female rangers were on he spotted them standing outside their rooms and made his way towards them hiding the package behind his back "Hey," he greeted
"Hey," Sabrina grinned, reaching up to kiss him, before she noticed he was hiding something "What you hiding?" she asked
Hunter shook his head "Close your eyes," he instructed
"Oh," the red head groaned but did as instructed; Dana and Kelsey exchanged looks before smiling as they watched Hunter present his girlfriend with a bouquet of beautiful Phoenix flowers. Cupping their mouths to avoid squealing at the utter beauty of the flowers they smiled as Sabrina reopened her eyes and stared at the orange, red and gold flowers. "Oh..." she breathed "Their beautiful"
"I ordered them," Hunter smiled "Specially for you."
Sabrina smiled and looked up at her boyfriend "Their perfect" she told him "as long as they don't try and take over my morpher. I think we'll be fine"
Returning her smile Hunter complied as she pulled him close; wrapping his arms around her waist he held her as she hugged him tightly. Kelsey and Dana grinned at the couple before disappearing into their rooms for a much well earned rest.
"I love you," Sabrina told Hunter
Hunter smiled "I love you, too" he responded
A/N: Aw! I just LOVE Hunter and Sabrina. Im not being basis because Sabrina is my character and I am the one writing the story, but they just seem so PERFECT for one another.
Anyway please leave a review. Its been a while and I want to hear from you lovely people
