In the Freeze Zone
"...Olympius!" Chad called, as he stood across from the red dragon-like demon; he was standing in an old western type simulation and testing out the new Thermo-Blasters that Angela had created specifically for them. "This town aint big enough for the both of us!" the Blue ranger continued, as his friends watched from the sidelines "Im gonna run you out of town" and he stepped forward, as Olympius merely stood and stared at him from across the dusty road.
"One ranger?" Olympius growled "Your out numbered! And dare I say...out weaponed"
Chad stopped in his tracks "I guess there is only one way to settle this! Ready when you are!" and he prepared himself for battle
Olympius chuckled "Battlings attack!"
The black bat-winged demons run forward, but Chad made quick work of them with his new Thermo-blaster; before turning his sights on Olympius. The two battled it out, but Olympius wasnt some minor foot soldier he actually put up a fight and soon Chad found himself colliding with a wooden gateway leading into the salloon. Rolling aside to dodge the burst of fire energy that Olympius sent his way, the Blue ranger made it back to his feet and combined the two weapons in his hands together. "Thermo-blaster! Booster mode!" he commanded "818 engage!" he inputted the numbers and turned the blaster onto the demon who looked more than surprised. "Fire!"
The tip of the blaster ignited and a blast of hot red energy was fired from it; the beam hit Olympius and knocked him to the ground
"You had enough?" Chad asked
Olympius took a shuddering gasp and disappeared from view as the simulation ended.
Chad grinned "Ms. Fairweather," he turned to the technical analysist "This Thermo-blaster is awesome!"
"Sweet!" Sabrina grinned, as she bounded forwards towards Chad as the others clapped their approval "now I guess everyone will have a little Phoenix power," she teased "But I hardly doubt it can match my blowtorch!"
Kelsey shook her head "Kill-joy," she joked
"Jealous!" the red head responded, a grin on her face to prove she was joking.
The others rangers soon joined them, as did Ms. Fairweather "Very nice Chad," Angela congratulated him
"The compliments go to you Ms. F," the Blue ranger told her
Carter nodded in agreement "Yeah!" he spoke
"Thank you," Angela smiled at them, before leading them back towards the gazebo where everything was set up "everyone, for a very successful test" she closed the lid of the case contining the thermo-blasters
The Rangers nodded "No problem,"
"I call shot gun!" Sabrina announced as she turned and headed back towards the Rover; Dana following her. Normally it was Dana riding shot gun, as Carter drove; but today Sabrina was more hyped up than ever. But before either the Phoenix or Pink ranger could reach the passenger's side car, static frequencies reached their senses and a familar voice echoed in the desert.
Stopping short, Dana turned and hurried back to her friends "Rangers!" the voice echoed again "Do you read me? Rangers! Come in!"
"Ryan," the Pink ranger smiled, as she saw her brother on the screens "where are you?"
"In the demon's tomb," the Titanium Ranger responded
Sabrina appeared behind Carter and peaked over his shoulder, but not before noting the looks on both Dana and Kelsey's faces. She could understand the pink ranger, Dana had been worried about her brother since he had left several months ago, but Kelsey there was only one other reason why she would be relieved to see Ryan safe and it wasnt the same reason as Dana or herself for that matter. The red head smirked, maybe her match-making skills could be put to the test once more, just like they had been used on her previous Ranger teams.
"Why are you there?" the red head asked, turning her attention back to Ryan
"I've got to tell you something really important," Ryan responded
Carter frowned and leaned in closer "What is it?" he asked
"Vypra and Loki," Ryan started to explain "they opened the tomb -" but before he could get any further the frequencies jammed, and snow flittered across the screen.
"Ryan, you're breaking up!" Dana responded
The signal returned slightly "They released..." but he was lost once more "...he'll be coming back for you!" he added one final time before the signal was lost completely.
"Who will be coming back for us?" Joel asked
Angela reached forward and turned a few dials trying to regain the signal, but it was too late. Ryan was gone.
Just then Sabrina looked up as her Phoenix senses sky-rocketed, there was a rumble and a solid ice blast hit the back of the computers sending Angela and the rangers to the ground with semi-cries of surprise. There standing across from them was a giant lizard like creature, with Olympius at his side. "Im Freezer," the lizard growled "and im gonna turn you into the Iciccle rangers!" he laughed mockingly, as the rangers pushed themselves to their feet and stood in front of the monster.
"This is no test guys!" Chad pointed out
Carter nodded "You're right," he agreed "Lets do it!"
"Lightspeed Rescue!"
They morphed and took off into battle, for the most part they did okay, until one false move landed them in peril as the monster made quick work of them and knocked them away without a second thought. Sabrina groaned as she rolled for a few moments, before stopping short beside Carter. There was an explosion that rocked the surrounding area and next thing Sabrina knew, she was being hauled to her feet and slashed across the stomach by Olympius who had appeared in the thick of everything.
After quickly dealing with Sabrina, Olympius dealt with the others tossing them around like rag dolls. Jumping back to her feet Sabrina rushed back into battle and double kicked-flipped Olympius as he knocked Dana and Joel away from him, before rounding on her. Oblivious to anything else around them, the Rangers were not aware of Angela's intrusion until her voice reached them. She was more than fifty feet away from the scene, and removing their new weapons from the case.
"Hey, you with that case!" the monster growled, appearing to the left of Angela "Its Snow time!" and opening his mouth he shot a stream of snow at the older woman. Freezing her solid.
Landing on the rough ground, Sabrina glanced up through her visor "Angela!" she yelled, seemingly catching Joel's attention.
The green ranger spun around, only to falter in his steps at the scene before him "Oh no! Ms. Fairweather!"
"I think she's giving you the cold shoulder, Green!" the monster stated, turning to him "But you can have a piece of me if you want!" he beckoned him closer "Come on!"
"Your gonna pay for this, Freezer!" Joel stated, rushing at the lizard monster
But he hadnt gotten more than a few feet towards the monster, when a blue laser shot out and seemed to scan him; when it cleared Joel was frozen solid before he disappeared into a bright light and was swallowed whole by the monster. "Joel!" Carter shouted
"Give him back!" Dana demanded
Sabrina reached out to stop her friend who had stumbled forwards "Dana, watch out!" she warned; before she gasped and dived aside as the monster shot out the light again and swallowed the rest of her friends. "Guys!" she yelled, rolling back to her feet. It was just her, the monster and a rather perturbed Olympius standing in the desert now.
"Your next Phoenix!" the monster told her "Come on!"
But Sabrina shook her head "Not a chance!"
"Get in my belly!" he told her, patting his scaly stomach to prove his point
"V-lancer!" Sabrina commanded, as her weapon appeared in her hand "Give my friends back!" she told the monster, swinging the sword around and running forward; only to be blasted in the back by Olympius. She groaned as she hit the ground, loosing the hold on her V-lancer.
Olympius rumbled with laughter as he walked forwards and towered over her "The last surviving Ranger!" he taunted
"I'll swallow her whole!" the monster grumbled, appearing behind the red head and holding her tightly.
"No!" Olympius stopped his creation "She is the last one! And she is required back at Skull Cavern!" he leered down at Sabrina "You still have a job to do!"
The red head glared through her visor "If you think im going anywhere with you, let alone reviving Mummy dearest! You're sadly mistaken, sunshine!" she shot back
"Then you will perish!" Olympius told her, raising her sword to strike her.
Sabrina glared heavily through her visor as she swallowed nervously, the sword was almost highly levelled above her and ready to strike at any given moment. Olympius's eyes blazed angrily at her decline to return to Skull Cavern and convert his mother back to her natural form; but she wasnt about to revert into the Phoenix just so that Bansheera could get her way and rule Mariner Bay. She had gone through to much with the Phoenix to just give in now, and besides, it wasnt like she would save herself even if she did agree to go back with them. She would be lost to. Dead, even.
The sword started to tilt downwards, but before it could actually come in contact with Sabrina there was a crash as a wave of energy hit Olympius and bounced off and hitting the monster. They cried out and Sabrina felt the lizard monster leave her go; using the energy blast to her advantage she rolled to the side and onto her knees and turned in the direction of the blast. Her eyes widened as she swore...there, standing clear as day in front of her was none other than Vypra and Loki. Aw man! These clowns again she complained
"Surprised?" Vypra asked in her sickly high voice
"I bet you didnt think you'd see us again?" Loki questioned
Olympius growled "You have alot of nerve, coming here!" and he run forward, both he and the lizard monster abandoning Sabrina as if she hadnt somehow melted into the background and wasnt as important anymore.
The red head frowned "What?" she mumured, feeling slightly offended that she didnt seem to be worth their time anymore
"You're just not smart enough to learn," Olympius continued, after he had come to a halt in front of Loki and Vypra "I got rid of you incompentant fools once, I can do it again! And this time it will be for good!"
Loki stepped forward "Yeah, yeah, yeah" he nodded disimissvely "But this time we've brought help!" he turned to Vypra "Didnt we?"
The female in question raised her hand into the air as the clouds darkened, thunder crashed and blue lightning hit the ground; there was an explosion that exploded outwards before imploding back towards the epicentre where the lightning had hit. When the explosion died down Diabolico graced the grounds once more.
"Diabolico," Olympius breathed in what Sabrina could only register as fear "He's alive"
Raising to her feet Sabrina stepped back slightly That's who Ryan was trying to warn us about she thought her gaze locked on the golden demon who she had spent the first few months in Mariner Bay trying to avoid. He was a formidable opponent and she braced herself for one final battle with him, Vypra, Loki and even Olympius. She was the last ranger standing, in a way she figured she could probably take them all; but at what cost? She wouldnt be able to take them without some help or interference from the Phoenix. She may have been strong, but she wasnt that strong.
"Little Impus," Diabolico growled "My how you've grown, thanks to my star power!"
"I thought you were destroyed," Olympius frowned upon the discovery that Diabolico stood before him, although he had been destroyed by the Power Rangers months ago. He had to be, because it was the only way that he, Olympius could acquire the star power for himself.
"I was," Diabolico answered "But now I have come back to reclaim my rightful place!" he stalked forward
Olympius met him half-way "You have no rightful place!" he hissed "Im in charge now!"
Their staffs clashed, sparks flew and the battle between the two demons was one.
Shaking her head Sabrina glanced around, over where Joel and the others had disappeared the red head spotted Angela, frozen with the Thermo-blasters in a case buried beneath the frosty ice. Glancing up at the fighting demons the Phoenix ranger took off towards the older woman "I've gotta get her to the base!" she mumured quietly to herself, as she reached the frozen woman. It was possible to unfreeze her now, but she wasnt sure how much heat would be needed! If she used to little it was possible that her blood would remain frozen and she would die as her body shut down from the lack of oxygen which was in the Bloodstream and if the heat was too hot then she was burn to death "Hang on, Angela" she mumured, unsure if the older woman could hear her "Im gonna get you some help!" and she glanced around "You two!" she yelled at two more scientists "Come here! Pick her up!" she instructed.
The two men carried the frozen woman back to the jeep; while the red head grabbed the case containing the Thermo Blasters, hopped into the drivers seat of the jeep before returning to the base. Leaving Olympius and Diabolico to deal with their issues in the desert behind her.
-Scene-
Sabrina sighed as she stood at the head of Angela's bed, the older woman had made it back to the Aquabase and quickly taken to the recovery wing where she had been administred to a particular bed and kept a watchful eye on by the doctors there. After having met Sabrina in the loading bay, Hunter had followed his girlfriend back to the medical bay as she explained everything that had happened out in the field, Olympius showing up and capturing the other rangers, how he had ordered her to go back to Skull Cavern with him to re-form his mother's body, how mid-strike Vypra and Loki had appeared and brought with them an old friend. Diabolico. She had paused, as if Diabolico's appearance was all knew to her "How can he be back?" she asked "I thought once a monster was destroyed that was it! I mean, I know Zurgane and all them came back, but once Lothor was gone so were his minions." she spoke, thinking back on her previous Ranger teams "It was the same with Zeltrax and Mesogog, once we had dealt with the big boss man, everything else just seemed to fall away"
"Maybe because Diabolico and Olympius arent your everyday, regular monsters" Hunter responded, placing his hands on her shoulders as he approached her from behind "Demons are harder to get rid of arent they?"
"I guess so," she nodded as she gazed down onto Angela, reached out and placed her hand on her head.
The older blonde averted his gaze to Sabrina's face and then down at the older woman "She's gonna be fine," he promised "Her temperature is already returning to normal"
"I know," Sabrina nodded
"Then what is it?" Hunter asked "What's on your mind?"
The red head shook her head "Something just doesnt make sense," she told him "Like why would Vypra and Loki revive Diabolico? If there's some hatred between the Generals, wouldnt that cause a rift between Bansheera and her minions? Effectively putting a wall between the trust between the whole group, they should be easier to defeat if their more preoccupied with fighting themselves than they are fighting us" she explained "and yet Olympius was able to capture five rangers, and then abandoned all attacks on me...I just don't understand, what could be more important to a demon, than World Domination"
"You worry too much," Hunter mumured, rubbing her shoulders "You know that?" he smiled "You're gonna get worry lines" and he pressed a kiss to her temple
The red head smiled "I have a worrysome life" she answered "and I highly doubt I'll get worry lines, the Phoenix doesnt age remember?"
"But the guardian does," Hunter mumured
"Good point," Sabrina chuckled, before looking up as her name was called. Captain Mitchell stood in the doorway, when Sabrina's gaze connected with his he waved her over, the red head left Angela's bed and approached her captain.
"How is she?" Mitchell asked
The red head glanced back at Angela "Her temperature is returning to normal" she answered, she nodded "She'll be okay"
"Thank goodness," Mitchell nodded
The intercoms buzzed to life and interrupted the converstion as one of the first commanders voiced echoed loudly "Urgent. Captain Mitchell to rescue Ops. Immediately"
"That doesnt sound good," Hunter mumured, as Sabrina caught his hand and pulled him along with her, as she took off after Mitchell.
The three of them entered Rescue Ops to find Olympius on the screens "This is a challenge for the Phoenix Ranger," the demon growled "Meet me alone on the edge of the Northern Woods"
"And if I don't?" Sabrina questioned
"Then I will destroy your friends!" Olympius answered back; before fading from the screens
The red head clenched her hands angrily into fists "I have to go!" she told Mitchell and Hunter
Although the older blonde was reluctant to let his girlfriend go out alone to face a demon who wanted to use her powers to restore an evil kingdom, he knew that she had too. It was her job as a Power Ranger to protect the innocent and right now, that was exactly what the other Rangers were. Innocents. "Okay," he agreed. Mitchell had already agreed and was rummaging through something on the otherside of Ops "Be careful," Hunter warned
"I always am," Sabrina smiled. Hunter glowered. "Okay; bad joke." she kissed him "I promise I'll be careful" she smiled as Mitchell returned
"If your gonna go," the Captain instructed her "I want you to take these" and he held out he case containing the Thermo Blasters
Sabrina nodded, grabbed the box and headed for the loading bay. She morphed, hopped onto her Fire Cycle and was gone in a blaze of heat and flame.
-Scene-
Pulling to a halt, the first thing Sabrina noticed was that Olympius was waiting for her, but where was the lizard monster? She knew he had said alone, but she wasnt about to eliminate the fact that demons were evil and they didnt exactly follow the rules, they had no honour! They fought dirty and she wouldnt have put it passed Olympius to launch a surpise attack on her...or at least try too. "I see you wasted no time in getting here," the red demon spoke, as he walked forward.
"What have you done with my friends, Olympius!" she demanded, jumping off her bike and walking forward
"If your so anxious to join them," Olympius answered "Well Im more than happy to point you in the right direction"
There it was. The surprise attack. A swarm of Battlings jumped out of the trees and attacked, but Sabrina who had been anticipating this from the start was ready for them, she raised her hands and blocked several attacks, kick-flipped a few more and knocked another few into one another. Once she had gotten all the Battlings into a group on the floor, the Phoenix ranger flipped over them and unleashed a severe heat blast of fireballs onto them and watched as the combusted seconds after she had landed. "Thermo Blaster!" she commanded, removing her weapons from her waist and jumping at Olympius. She was slashed across the stomach and thrown into a wall, causing her to groan as she hit the ground. That wasnt suppose to happen.
"I suppose I could destroy you right now," Olympius told her "But I have other plans! Either come with me and restore my mother to her natural power, or allow me the pleasure of watching you suffer as your friends are destroyed in front of you!"
Pushing herself to her feet; Sabrina raised her blaster "Never!" she snapped and rushed forward, only to recieve the same anti-attack as before. He was anticipating her moves and she was finding it very difficult to get near her, the second attack was an energy blast to the chest, which knocked her clean off her feet. But in reaction to that she fired her own blast at the demon from her blaster, they hit directly and with Olympius momentarily stunned by her counter attack, the red head was able to get back to her feet and attack. But again met the same fate as before as she was tossed aside like a rag doll that a child had no intention of playing with anymore.
"Freezor!"
The lizard monster from before returned.
Sabrina rolled to her feet and immediately started to back up.
The creature shot out a bright blue energy light, as the red head dived to avoid getting caught in it. The signpost behind her, however, was unlucky and instantly disappeared as the light shone on it.
I've gotta scan to see if their still okay the red head thought to herself, as she raised her hand and touched the side of her helmet. The ultra-heat scan powered up and she was able to see through the monsters chest and pick up the faint heat signatures of her friends. They were huddled together to try and warm one another up. But attempts seemed to be futile "Their freezing in there!" she exclaimed "Guys, if you can hear me! Im gonna try and get you out of there!" she promised. They had been there for her when she needed them the most...now it was time to repay the favour.
Out of nowhere came Olympius's attack, his staff connected with Sabrina's chest and sent her reeling from the unexpected surprise "One ranger is no match for the Mighty Olympius!" he told her
"You seem to forget who that one ranger is!" Sabrina snarled
"This is why its the end," Olympius answered her
But the red head was down for the count just yet.
"Blast her Freezor!" Olympius ordered, but before the monster had the chance Sabrina flamed out and back in behind them. The monster turns to her and opens its gaping mouth as a blast of snow folicles flurry around Sabrina, the red head shook her head as the snow melted into water as it touched her and for once in her life she mentally thanked whoever was listening that she was the source of heat. Of fire and flame. She was glad she was the Phoenix
"Prepare to join your friends in my cold belly dungeon," Freezor growled at her
Sabrina shook her head "Not this time!" she told him "Thermal Blaster!"
The monster shot a stream of frozen ice blasts at her; Sabrina raised her blaster and shot a stream of hot blazing energy at the creatures stomach; heating it to temperatures which caused the ice to melt and the monster to release the other Rangers. At the exact same moment the monster and Sabrina hit the ground, as the red head slipped in an out of conciousness as her suit froze.
"Sabrina!" Dana yelled, pushing herself to her feet and rushing towards the Phoenix Ranger. She dropped to her knees as Chad helped push the teen into a sitting position
"She's frozen," Kelsey stated the obvious
The Pink ranger meanwhile, was looking for Sabrina's battle booster. She inputted a code and watched as the Phoenix suit heated up and the ice instantly melted away
"Your back!" Sabrina cried, after she had been defrosted and found her friends standing over her "Your alive!"
The others nodded
"Oh no!" the Monster cried "They've escaped!"
"It isnt over yet," the red head consoled him
The others took up battle stances around her "Let's go guys," Carter told them
"Right!"
"Lightspeed Rescue!" they all shouted, and morphing seconds later
Olympius growled "Freezor get them!" he ordered
But before the monster could attack, Sabrina beat him to the punch. Literally. Hitting him directly in the stomach, the red head reached for the mysterious box that was hidden well on her bike and opened it, inside were five Thermal blasters, waiting to be used. "Carter!" she shouted, throwing the red ranger his first; followed closely by Joel's, Dana's, Chad's and Kelsey's. "Ready!" she commanded, taking her place beside Carter in the line up, as the six rangers prepared their blasters for the final strike "818 engage! And fire!"
There were six energy blasts and the monster exploded -
- only to return seconds later at the height of 30 feet!
"Rail Rescues," Carter commanded into his morpher "on track!"
"Maz Solarzord!" Sabrina added into her own morpher
The two Megazords merged together and the fight was one. At first they were evenly matched, the monster matched the Megazord's attacks hit for hit, before the skies darkened and the Megazord was rendered incapable of producing enough power to attack. Lightning hit the Rangers and the two Megazords broke apart.
"We're a Solarzord," Sabrina offered a suggestion "We draw power from the sunlight to power up our resources, with no sun...we got no power"
Carter nodded in understanding "Stay alert guys," he warned them
There was a growl and Sabrina pointed "There!" she exclaimed, the monster became known in the darkness although he was pretty hard to make out against the darkened back-drop. The rangers fired. There was an explosion, but the monster had disappared as if he was an illusion.
"This is crazy!" Carter complained
The others nodded in agreement
The confusion and attacks from the darkness went on for a few more minutes, before the Rangers grew tiresome of the silly little games Olympius was playing, not to mention the energy blasts that were rendering them useless and incapable of landing a decent hit.
"Guys, we need to get the Omega-Megazord," Carter told his team
Chad nodded "We're losing power! We need to get the Max Solarzord out of here!"
"You're right," Sabrina agreed "Solarzord, launch!"
The Solarzord took to the skies.
"The sun's recharging us," Carter grinned "Lets finish what Freezor started!"
Handing over the controls to Carter, Sabrina followed suit as they took to the Omega-Megazord, and put Freezor down for the count - Finally.
The rangers cheered
-Scene-
"Atchoo!"
Sabrina groaned as she wrapped her bed clothes around her tightly, the fight with Freezor and nearly being turned into a human ice cube had really taken effect on her. She was bed bound after being diagnosed with mild flu symptoms. Chesty cough. Sniffles. Fever, and Headaches. The only downside to being sick was she was bed ridden, but the upside was she got everything done for her and "Ooo Hot chocolate!" she grinned as Kelsey held out a mug of steaming brown liquid with six little white marshmallows bobbing around on the top. "Thanks Kels,"
The others chuckled at her
"Your looking alot better, Angela" Sabrina added, as the older woman was also presented with a cup of drinking chocolate
Angela smiled "Yes, im feeling much better!" she nodded, taking a drink of her chocolate
"Okay," Joel nodded "But if you still need a little warming up -" he added, taking a seat on her bed and grabbing her hand
"Thank you, Joel" Angela smiled, trying to pull her hand free "But I think I'll be just...fine!" she struggled, finally managing to pull her hand free, and effectively tipping her drink all over her. She jumped and looked around for something to dry it with.
Sabrina smiled "I got it," she sniffled, and she pulled back her blankets, set down her own cup and reached across. Clenching her hand into a fist above the wet spot, she smiled as it dried instantly "At least this cold isnt affecting my powers" she grinned
"How is it against your senses?" asked a voice in her ear
"Holy -" Sabrina yelped, jumping in the air and almost tumbling out of bed; if it hadnt been for the pair of arms that had instantly wrapped around her stomach and pulled her back.
Hunter chuckled
"I hate you!" Sabrina pouted
"Love you too," Hunter smiled, kissing her temple "How you feeling?"
The red head glanced up at her boyfriend and then around at her team, who seemed to be wanting to know the truth. Sabrina smirked "How am I feeling?" she asked "Well, im feeling glad that I didnt become a human ice cube today" she chuckled
The others smirked and shook their head at the red head; amused at how she could still be happy-go-lucky, even when she was under the weather.
A/N: Again. I am terribly sorry for the late update.
I really couldnt decide with story I wanted to update tonight, it was a choice between Abby Holloway (Mystic Force) or Harry Potter (which has had my full attention the past couple of months) then I realized that I hadnt written about Sabrina in a long time, so I decided I would update her tonight and decide between the other two tomorrow. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Again sorry for late updates. Hope you enjoyed this.
Review (please)
