Trakeena's Revenge
Part 2
Jumping idly from the Rescue Humvee, Heather hurried across the baron wasteland and fell to her knees beside Carter "Are you okay?" she asked innocently, as all around them the other rangers had slowly dragging themselves out from underneath loose debris and getting carefully to their feet.
"Yeah," Carter nodded, looking up at the little girl beside him "We're going to get your mom now" he promised her
"Really?" Heather asked
"We can't just storm into that building," Sabrina interrupted "there are innocent people in there"
Beside the red head, Dana and Kelsey nod in agreement
Turning away from his team-mates, Carter sighed as his gaze connected once more with Heathers. He may not have been able to storm into the building and pick off as many ghouls and monsters as he would have liked too, but that didn't mean he was giving up on bringing Heather's parents back to her "I have an idea," he nodded "Can I count on you?" he asked the little girl
"What do I do?" Heather asked
Pulling himself free of the rocks and debris, Carter returned Heather to the Humvee as the others joined him
"Do you want to fill us in on this idea of yours?" Sabrina asked, as she climbed into the Humvee beside Dana and Kelsey
Carter, who had occupied the driver's seat, glanced back at her as he started the engine "Heather, you're going to go inside the building," he told the little girl "and find the fire alarm, when no one is watching you pull it. Okay?" he asked looking at her through the rearview mirror
"What?" Heather squeaked "My daddy told me to never do that, except in an emergency!"
"And he's right," Carter nodded "but this is a special case. You've got to do this, Heather. But don't worry I'll be right behind you, okay?"
Heather hesitated before nodding in agreement "Okay," she agreed
"As for the rest of you, I'm going to drop you off at the station nearest the building" Carter continued "When the emergency services turn up to evacuate the building and secure everything Leo, Sabrina and I will infiltrate the 13th floor from the roof and find the missing people. Got it?"
The other rangers nodded in understanding, as they returned to the centre of town.
-Scene-
After dropping the others off at their designated drop-off point, Carter and Heather continued on towards the building on foot, leaving the others in the Humvee to prepare for the next part of the plan.
"Here Sabrina," Joel said, handing the red head an overcoat and fire helmet
Sabrina smiled "Thanks" she nodded, slipping the overcoat on over her clothes and doing it up, and placing the helmet on her head.
"This had better work," Kelsey said, as she too pulled on an overcoat and helmet
Dana and Chad nodded in agreement, passing out more overcoats and helmets to the Galaxy rangers
"It'll work," Joel assured them
"Yeah," Sabrina agreed "Heather's a good kid. She'll do anything Carter says, besides, she's a Junior Ranger" she grinned
The others chuckled, before pausing as the sound of a fire alarm echoed in the distance.
"See," Sabrina pointed
"Let's go!" Leo responded, jumping onto the back of the fire engine along with Sabrina and the others; and headed towards the 'emergency' fire
-Scene-
Arriving at the building Kelsey, Joel, Dana and Chad hurried into the building to clear out any more people who were on any of the other floors trying to get out. It was all a part of the plan to keep Trakeena from catching on to what they were truly up to. Remaining on the ground floor with Carter and the Galaxy rangers, Sabrina waited for confirmation from her team-mates that the buildings from ground floor up to the 12th floor was secure and free of innocent civilians.
Soon Kelsey and Chad returned "That's everyone" they nodded
"Okay, ready?" Carter asked, turning to Sabrina and Leo
The Phoenix ranger and Red Galaxy ranger nodded and the three of them took off to the roof of the building -shedding their overcoats and helmets in the process-
"Go Galactic!" Leo commanded
Sabrina and Carter ran alongside him, morphin' simultaneously with cries of "Lightspeed Rescue!"
Once morphed the three rangers round a corner leading to the 13th floor only to grind to separate halts as Triskull appeared in their path "Haven't you learned your lesson yet?" he asked, brandishing his sword; he slashed it at the three rangers as they hit the ground one after another "Don't you pathetic rangers know when you've lost?"
"We've come this far we're not giving up now," Leo retorted "Right guys?"
"You got that right, Leo!" Carter agreed, patting his fellow ranger on the back
Sabrina nodded "How about we show this freak what being red is really all about?" she suggested, although she knew her ranger colour wasn't really red, it was closer to red than anything else.
"Yeah!" the two guys agreed, getting to their feet alongside the red head.
A fight ensued between the three rangers, Carter and Leo throwing out ropes and binding themselves to Triskull as Sabrina jumped over them and attacked with her Phoenix Blade. Sadly, just like before, nothing seemed to phase the monster and he rendered the rangers incapable of fighting.
"You three are worthless!" Triskull growled, as he stood over the three on the floor
Clenching his hands angrily into fists, Carter pushed himself steadily to his feet "I've had enough of your big mouth, Triskull" he retorted "Battle Booster! Full Power!" he commanded, his hand shaking as he curled it into a fist and kicked off from the ground; through the energy blast that Triskull had thrown at him and delivered a well-aimed solid punch to the ghouls chest.
Sabrina watched with wide-eyes as her usually calm, collected and level-headed team leader struck Triskull sending him flying backwards through the air "Whoa," she squeaked scrambling to her feet and approaching her friend along with Leo, who was also equally surprised at the reaction.
"You may have stopped me," Triskull growled, as he made it back to his feet "But you will never stop Trakeena" he finished, before tiny explosions exploded all over him and he fell backwards onto the ground. And became motionless.
"Come on," Carter spoke, turning to those beside him "Let's go find the hostages!"
Leo nodded "Right!"
And the three of them continued onwards towards the 13th floor.
-Scene-
Reaching the thirteenth floor in record time, the three rangers slid to a halt in front of a locked door.
"Supply closet?" Sabrina frowned, pointing the door out to the others "What could you possibly do in there?"
"One way to find out," Carter answered, kicking the door clean off its hinges and stepping through "Look at this place," he murmured, stepping through into what looked like a make-shift creepy laboratory
Sabrina shivered as she followed them inside "This is freaky," she commented "but Mesogog's was worse" she added, as she started looking around for the kidnapped victims.
"Carter! Sabrina!" Leo called, from the opposite side of the room "Over here!"
Turning the two Lightspeed rangers joined their friend and found -much to their surprise and horror- the kidnapped people. They had been shrunk down and stuffed into test tube like jars, which were hooked up to a freak looking machine that seemed to be draining of their life force energy.
"This was why my Phoenix senses went off," Sabrina murmured "Remember? When we were in the presence of Triskull's human form" she added turning to Carter "Phoenix picked up the abuse of the life energy, it was being torn away from these people and used for evil purposes. No wonder I felt sick to my stomach whenever he was around"
Carter touched her shoulder "You didn't know" he assured her "Now we do."
Sabrina nodded "So, how do we get them out of here?" she asked, before spinning around as hands grabbed her shoulders causing her to jump almost a foot in the air in surprise.
Surprise turns to panic as the three rangers realize that while their attention had been focused on the kidnapped people, the room had filled with enough ghouls to render a whole ranger team useless. Raising their weapons three ghouls slashed at the rangers, and rendered them to their knees, before holding them at sword point in the middle of the room.
Pushing themselves carefully to their feet, the team of three exchange looks over their shoulders; before jumping headlong into battle. Ducking under the arm of one of the ghouls, Sabrina kicked up and pushed one backwards away from her, as she gripped another and swung underneath its outstretched arm, unfortunately she had been expecting another to slash at her from behind and causing her to roll over in mid-air, landing on her stomach Sabrina groaned as a hand wrapped around her shoulder and pulled her carelessly to her feet, before slashing at her chest with a sabre and sending her rolling across the room into Leo and Carter.
"We're going to need a miracle to get out of this one," Leo stated, as he rolled onto his knees alongside the two Lightspeed rangers and faced the growing number of ghouls in front of them.
"You called?" asked a voice, as two new rangers entered the room and double kicked several ghouls in the back knocking them away from the three red rangers
Sabrina sighed in relief "Excellent!" she grinned at the rescue
"Let's finish this!" Carter nodded, diving aside to deal with his own set of ghouls, leaving Leo and Sabrina to take down their own as the two new comers dealt effectively against the rest with their Quasar sabers.
With the rest of the ghouls taken care off, the five rangers re-grouped in front of the machine which was sucking the life force out of the people
"We got to figure out a way to free these people," the pink Galaxy ranger said, turning to the others "and fast!"
"I don't think so!" came a raspy female voice, from the shadows. Turning in the direction of the new voice, the rangers backed up as a young woman strode towards them from a darkened, mist-filled corner. The first thing Sabrina noticed, when she could properly see the new comer was that she was clad in insect-like armor and wearing a mask over her face, which hid everything except her eyes.
"Trakeena?" the green Galaxy ranger asked in surprise
"It can't be," the Pink ranger nodded
Trakeena smiled "It is!" she retorted, firing her staff at them. The now team of five rangers, dived to the side to avoid the blast. "Goodbye rangers," she laughed
Rolling back to their feet, the team of five squared off against the insect-woman once more, only for her to retaliate and blast them with her staff again. The blasts hit them all dead in the chest and send them flying through the air into the wall, but instead of slumping down like they normally would have the team were thrown through the concrete, de-morphing on impact and plummeted straight for the solid ground below.
Willing herself not to look down, Sabrina glanced around she knew that she would be able to flame herself and the others back onto the ground safely, but the blast had knocked them all apart the second it had hit them and therefore she was unable to get to any of the others in order to flame them. Thankfully enough the moment she was supposed to hit solid ground, she felt herself sinking on an inflatable airbag which Chad had deployed from the back of the Humvee.
"Kendrix! Damon!" Maya exclaimed as she hurried forward towards her friends, helping them off the airbag and back onto solid ground
"That was some fall," Kelsey said, grasping hands with Sabrina and pulling her off the airbag as Joel and Chad helped Leo and Carter
Glancing up towards the thirteenth floor of the building, Sabrina scowled at the massive hold in the side of the building could today possibly get any worse she thought miserably, returning her attention to those around her. After a fall like that they were lucky to be alive, Trakeena would pay dearly for their near death experience
"How lucky can a monster be?" asked a familiar voice and much to the dismay of everyone Olympius and his merry band of monsters appeared behind the two ranger teams "I get to destroy the Lightspeed Rangers and the Galaxy rangers as well"
Leo glowered "You're in for a big disappointment!" he retorted
"Guys, ready?" Leo asked
"Ready!" the others nodded
"Go Galactic!" the Galaxy rangers commanded, morphing into their respective colors
"Galaxy Red!"
"Galaxy Green!"
"Galaxy Blue!"
"Galaxy Yellow!"
"Galaxy Pink!"
The Lightspeed rangers followed suit "Lightspeed Rescue!" they commanded, their uniforms appearing on their bodies
"Red Ranger! Rescue ready!"
"Blue Ranger! Rescue ready!"
"Green Ranger! Rescue ready!"
"Yellow Ranger! Rescue ready!"
"Pink Ranger! Rescue ready!"
"Phoenix Ranger! Rescue ready!"
With both teams morphed and ready for anything, Olympius made the first move "Battling's destroy them!"
The battling's bounced forwards as both teams of rangers paired off according to their respective colors, allowing Sabrina to float between them and help when she was needed. As she floated past Damon and Joel, the red head paused in her elimination of the Battling's as Damon's fighting tactic caught her attention. His idea of eliminating the Battling's was by grabbing onto a fallen steel wire which was secured onto the side of a building, and use it to hoist himself up as he run along the side of the wall and cut down the battling's with his Sabre. It worked effectively.
Another tactic which caught her attention was Maya's. The yellow Galaxy ranger, who was fighting a few feet away with Kelsey and actually rendered her Battling onto the floor and was literally pushing it across the ground on all fours before slamming it into the side of a building.
Sabrina winced at the impact the battling made with the exterior of the concrete wall, before shaking herself and turning her attention back to the Battling's she had been fighting. They had regrouped and were advancing on her and the other rangers, flicking her wrist Sabrina unleashed several fireballs onto the battling's and watched as the shrieked and exploded right before her eyes.
With the Battling's down for the count both sides attempted to re-group, the rangers making it into formation much before the demons have a chance to re-think their plans.
"All right guys," Chad said, as he prepared his V-Lancer along with Kelsey, Joel and Dana; while Maya, Damon, Kendrix and Kai prepared their Quasar Sabers in front of them "Hit them all together!"
"Fire!" Sabrina commanded, electing a cloud of Phoenix Fire and wrapping it around the demons as the Quasar Sabre energies and V-Lancer Spectrum Blasts hit the at the same time. Miniature explosions exploded off the demons as they stumbled backwards from the rangers "You really, really shouldn't have gotten out of bed today" Sabrina joked
Struggling back to his feet Olympius glared hatefully at the rangers "Why am I wasting energy destroying you?" he asked "I'll let Trakeena do that! She wanted to mutate...well, I'll let her have her wish" he summoned a dagger from out of thin air, and threw it with a force towards the hole in the side of the building, the same one that Sabrina and the others had made when they were blown off of the thirteenth floor
"What is he doing?" Carter asked, having witnessed the notion
The second the dagger had disappeared through the hole in the wall, a gust of purple energy surged out into the open air, transforming into a monstrous creature.
"What is that?" Sabrina asked
"Trakeena!" Kendrix and Maya answered, realizing that Olympius had managed to infect Trakeena's mutant form and turn into a demonized mutant instead.
"Olympius! You won't get away with this!" Leo retorted, pointing at the demon son
Olympius smirked and turned to the rangers "Oh, but I have" he answered "and you're the ones who will never get away"
As if to prove his point Trakeena fired several fire bombs from her mouth down onto the city, causing explosions to echo in every direction.
"She's destroying the city!" Carter exclaimed, stepping forward "Omega Megazord!" he commanded into his morpher, and seconds later the desired Megazord stood tall as the rangers took to the cock-pits, as the Max Solarzord followed behind them. As the Max Solarzord rushes in for an attack, its knocked to the ground while the rangers follow it into battle raising its sword high "All right Trakeena, time to end this!"
The rangers slash down, but their attack is blocked by the mutant demon who grabs both Megazords with her giant tentacles and throws them into the air before blasting them with laser blasts, sending them crashing back to earth with earth-shattering crashes. Hitting the ground for what felt like the third time the Lightspeed rangers let loose non-committal groans as the tentacle which had wrapped itself around them came back for more.
"It's coming back!" Sabrina yelped, spotting the thick rope like tentacle from the corner of her eye; however, the moment the tentacle reached for the Omega Megazord there was a flash of gold, and seconds later the tentacle was withering around on the floor as Trakeena howled in pain.
"Trakeena," Leo hissed "your nightmare days are over! Ready Carter?"
"All set over here," Carter nodded
Powering up their Megazord sabre, Leo slashed through the air at Trakeena, before a torpedo is shot through the air. Both blows hit Trakeena who is engulfed in a huge cloud of flames; however, the rangers are in the firing zone as a blast of flames backlashes at them and the two Megazords spark dangerously. The Lightspeed rangers are able to hold it together, but the Galaxy rangers aren't so lucky and are instantly ejected from their Megazords, as their Galactabeasts are stunned by the backlash.
"Oh no!" Carter exclaimed, spotting the five barely-conscious Galaxy rangers
A painful groan reached the rangers sense, as Joel pointing towards Trakeena "Look, she's still moving!"
"She has more lives than a cat!" Sabrina complained
"She'll try and get the Galaxy rangers" Chad pointed out
Dana nodded "We've got to help them!"
"There is only one way," Carter answered "Here goes!" and pulling back on his controls he reached forward and scooped up the five Galaxy rangers in the palm of the Megazords hand.
Twitching slightly, Leo turned his head a fraction of an inch and looked up at the Megazord which loomed above him "Carter...?" he spoke
"Leo!" Carter sighed in relief "You're all right!"
All around Leo the rest of his team stated to come too, as they made it carefully back to their feet
"Guys, we still have to stop Trakeena," Carter told them
"How are we going to do that?" Maya asked
"We're out of Power!" Leo agreed
Sabrina smiled "As long as your Power Rangers," she answered him "You'll always have power!"
As if to prove her point, an orange light emitted itself from the morphers on the Galaxy rangers wrists and engulfed their rapidly, spreading from them and through the Omega Megazord engulfing them also with the power of the Lights of Orion. Sparkles of gold appeared in the cockpit of the Omega Megazord as seconds later they cleared and the Galaxy rangers appeared behind the Lightspeed rangers, as the outside of their zord obtained the same golden armor that the Galaxy Megazord usually wore. It would have seemed that the fire energy from the Lights of Orion had bonded with the Omega Megazord giving it the energy and fire power it needed to take down Trakeena once and for all, and not only that, but the sheer amount of fire running through everything made Sabrina feel more energized than she had ever felt before.
"We've got to use all of our powers and weapons to defeat her," Sabrina stated, before flames encased her body and she disappeared
Kendrix looked up "Where'd she go?" she asked
Her question however, was answered with a soothing tune filled the air, and seconds later a scarlet bird flew into view. Sabrina in her Phoenix zord.
"Let's do it, guys!" the red head, grinned as she pushed forward on her controls, watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to help. From the air she witnessed the attack as the Galaxy Sabre slashes straight through Trakeena's body, followed by several missiles. Pushing forward on her controls, the red head swooped down in front of the Omega Megazord, and surged forward with a burst of flame which emitted from the Omega's hands, the exterior of the Phoenix glowed a bright golden gleam as it surged forwards, blasting straight through Trakeena's body and causing her to screech in pain.
There was a moment's pause, before Trakeena exploded and Sabrina flew back into the air screeching in victory.
-Scene-
"Heather!" an older female with vibrant red hair called, as she left the office building and spotted her daughter a few feet in front of her, holding the hand of the red Lightspeed ranger.
Heather gasped and sprinted forward "Mommy! Daddy!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms tightly around her mother's neck as she grew closer
The rangers watched smiling brightly at the reunion.
"I helped the rangers," Heather told her mother, as she pulled away
"You did?" Heather's mom asked, with a bright smile
Carter nodded "She sure did," he confirmed, approaching them "In fact she's an official Junior Ranger!" he handed her a silver Lightspeed Rescue badge.
"Wow," Heather breathed in amazement, before hugging her mother once more
Sabrina smiled as she watched Carter with Heather, before turning to the sound of Joel's voice as he draped his arms around Kendrix and Maya's shoulders.
"Huh ladies," he signed a poster of himself and held it up "You'd probably want one of these"
Maya and Kendrix exchanged looks and chuckled, while Sabrina shook her head "Joel, where are you going to find the time for them when Ms. Fairweather finds out?" the red head questioned "She's just starting to talk to you again...after last time" she grinned
"You wouldn't..." Joel responded, quirking an eyebrow at his team-mate
"Watch me!" Sabrina smirked, turning as flames wrapped around her wrist
Panic seeped through his veins, as Joel grabbed her shoulder "All right, I'm sorry!" he apologized
Sabrina laughed "You are so easy!" she teased
"You know?" Joel asked "For a Firebird, you sure know how to give a guy a cold shoulder!" he joked, electing laughter from the others
Recovering first Dana turned to Leo "Boy, you had to put up with Trakeena all the way to Mirinoi?" she asked
"And I thought we had it tough," Chad nodded
"With Olympius and Vypra, you have it tough enough" Maya responded
Leo smiled "Actually, I think it was kind of fun getting back in the action" he stated
Kai patted his shoulder "Only you would think that was fun," he laughed
"Could you stay a while?" Dana asked "Mariner Bay could use another team of rangers"
Kelsey nodded in agreement "that's a great idea!"
"We'd love too," Kendrix replied "but we're needed on Mirinoi" she answered
Leo sighed but nodded in agreement "She's right, Terra Venture's not out of the woods yet, there are still a lot of old elements from Scorpious's crumbling empire that would love to take over. Kendrix is right, we have to get back...but you can call if you need us" he smiled
"You know? I think maybe I'll stay just a little while," Damon smiled, sliding in between Dana and Kelsey and wrapping his arms around their shoulders
Leo shook his head "No, no, no!" he responded, catching his friend around the shoulder and moving him away from the two girls
The Lightspeed rangers laughed at the Galaxy green ranger; as Sabrina compared him silently to Joel.
Bidding their final goodbyes to the Galaxy rangers, the Lightspeed team watched as they jetted back off on their journey back to Mirinoi, as Sabrina caught a glimpse of the dying sun in the distance. A smile crossed her features as she reflected back on the previous day's events, and one thought crossed her mind. If they could take down Trakeena in her mutant demonized form, then maybe...just maybe...Bansheera would be a possible win also.
With a determined smile the red head turned to her team-mates "Race ya back to the Aquabase!" she challenged "I can't wait to call Uncle Tommy and my mother and tell them about this! Uncle Tommy's going to have update his Ranger archives video!" she laughed, before turning and running off leaving her team to chase after her.
A/N: Pulled an all-nighter to bring you this. Hope you enjoy it.
