Disclaimer - I do not own Power Rangers

The Sweet Sounds of Melody?

"What's going on?" Kennedi asked, as she sat down in front of her station in Ops. The other Rangers got into their seats, and turned to Phoebe.

"Nathalie's signal has disappeared. I can't find it on the map" Phoebe stood at the head of the table, leaning on it for support.

"What do you think happened?" Charley asked, sitting up.

"I'm not sure, but I was able to access some security footage from the school's main system." Phoebe turned around, and walked over to the touch screen monitor. She zoomed in on a clip. "This was right after she saw me." The clip played, showing Nathalie running to class. Phoebe paused the screen as Nathalie was knocked to ground by an invisible force.

"There's nothing there," Bryce said.

"Just watch," Phoebe said, fast forwarding the tape. She paused as Nathalie was turned into stone.

"What just happened?" Jet asked.

"I think we may be dealing with Medusa," Phoebe said, sitting down at the head of the table. She opened up an old, dusty book.

"Medusa?" Bryce asked, leaning over to see the illustrations. "The Gorgon who had snakes for hair?"

"Thousands of years ago, Medusa was cursed by Athena because she was caught with Poseidon in Athena's temple, and changed into the monster you know today. If you look into her eyes you would be turned to stone."

"Why can't we see her on the screen?" Kennedi asked.

"That's the part I can't figure out. Daemons should appear on the screen. She must have some type of protection spell."

"Wait," Charley interrupted. "If we have Medusa loose in the city, shouldn't we see more statues around?"

"We would, unless Medusa is trying to hide," Phoebe said.

"And what about Nathalie?" Bryce asked.

"I have a bad feeling Medusa took her to the underworld," Phoebe admitted, closing the book.

"Medusa!" Hades' voice boomed, as the Daemon entered his throne room. She was still disguised as Melody."Progress report." He leaned back in his chair.

"Not only have I found out where their base is, but I have also brought back a prize for you." Medusa snapped her fingers, and Nathalie appeared next to her. She was still frozen in stone. "Let me introduce you to Nathalie Ramos, Red Olympian Ranger,"

"Well done." Hades clapped as he stood up. He walked down the five steps and over to Nathalie. Slowly, he circled her, smiling.

"One wrong move though—" Hades said, "—Well let's just say you'll no longer be in one piece. You better not fail this time."

"We have to do something!" Jet leaped to his feet.

"Yeah," Charley agreed, clenching her fists. "Let's go down into the underworld and search for Nathalie."

"Because you are not immortal, there is a price to pay when entering," Phoebe said.

"A price?" Kennedi asked.

"The underworld is full of tricks and monsters. No ordinary mortal could survive twenty minutes down there."

"But we have the gods on our side," Lew said. "Wouldn't that do anything?"

"Unless you have the spirit of Hades, your god would be no help down there."

"Then how do we save Nathalie?" Jet asked.

"I'm going to go down there," Phoebe said, standing up.

"Phoebe, are you sure? We have our morphers, we would be fine," Kennedi said.

"Sadly, your morphers would work down there. As for myself, I am the Titan of intellect and prophecy. I am immortal. I've guided the Olympian Rangers for thousands of years. I will survive."

"Thousands of years?" Bryce cocked his head to one side. "But you look so young."

"That's what being immortal does to you," Phoebe laughed.

Suddenly the loud alarms blared through Ops. All of the Rangers, and Phoebe, rushed over to the monitors.

"There's nothing there," Lew said, after a moment.

"Wait!" Charley shouted, pointing at the monitor. "Right there," On the screen, a five-year-old boy turned to stone, along with his mother.

"That's definitely Medusa," Jet said, glaring.

"She's on the east side," Kennedi said, looking at the coordinates at the bottom of the screen.

"Go," Phoebe commanded. They all took a few steps back from the monitors.

"Ready?" Lew shouted.

"Ready!"

"Olympian Force! Protectors of Earth!" They shouted, morphing.

"As swift as Hermes!" Lew shouted. "Blue Olympian Ranger!"

"As graceful as Aphrodite!" Charley yelled, posing."Yellow Olympian Ranger!"

"As clever as Apollo!" Bryce cried. "Green Olympian Ranger!"

"As elegant as Hestia!" Kennedi exclaimed, posing. "Orange Olympian Ranger!"

"As cunning as Ares!" Jet finished. "Black Olympian Ranger!"

"Hurry!" Phoebe shouted, "Medusa's on the move! I'll transport you there; it will be much faster." As the Titan typed in a few coordinates, each Ranger vanished into thin air.

Phoebe's heels clicked as she walked over to a large glass case, containing hundreds of different colored vials. Each was carefully labeled in Ancient Greek. As Phoebe reached the case, she bent down. She looked into a small eye scanner, and a purple light glowed. After five seconds, there was a click as the case unlocked.

Opening the case, Phoebe's eye's fell on a small clear red vial. There was a pop as she pulled the cork out. Her nose wrinkled as she took a small whiff: it smelled like sour milk, thousands of years past its expiration date. Carefully, she placed the cork back in, and tucked the vial into one of the pockets on her belt. Then she walked over to one of the far walls and pulled a long silver sword down. Slowly and carefully, she belted the sword on, and crossed back to the monitors.

"Contact Zeus." She said into the system.

"Phoebe," The god said, in a rumbling baritone, as he appeared on the screen. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"

"I wish to seek entrance into the Underworld. Our Red Ranger was kidnapped by Medusa."

Zeus turned around and looked at some of the other gods and goddesses behind him. After a mumbled conversation too low for a mortal ear to pick up, he turned back around.

"We give you twenty-four hours," Zeus said. "After that, the Red Ranger will not be granted re-entry to Earth."

"That's all I need." Phoebe said, standing up straighter.

"Please bring her back." Artemis said, appearing next to Zeus. The moon goddess's robe glinted silver as she moved.

"I don't plan on coming back without her." Zeus nodded. Then the screen went dark.

Crossing the room again, Phoebe pulled a small gold sphere off a shelf. The various symbols of the Greek deities wrapped around its outside. Slowly, she unscrewed the top half. As soon as it came off, the inside glowed faintly.

"Please work," Phoebe begged, as she closed her eyes. She reached into the sphere, and pulled out a small handful of flashing silver powder.

"As commanded by Zeus himself, I seek entrance to the underworld. By the power of the gods and with this key, Underworld accept me for twenty-four hours," Phoebe chanted in Greek, as she sprinkled the powder around in a circle. As she completed the circle, a purple ring of light extended up from the ground. "Thank you." Phoebe stepped through.

"Remember, don't look into her eyes," Kennedi said, as they materialized in the city.

"Don't worry," Jet said. "I'm perfectly happy with my body as-is."

"Ah, five kids in spandex. How wonderful!" A voice rang out from behind them. The Rangers froze.

"D-Don't t-turn around," Charley stuttered.

"I didn't plan on it," Lew said. Slowly, Medusa walked up to them. Her shoes clicked on the concrete.

"You know," she said, "I thought this was going to be difficult, but after I tricked your Red Ranger for Hades—" She laughed. "—Well, now I'm not so worried."

"On the count of three we turn around." Jet said.

"Are you crazy!" Kennedi shouted, "We'll get tuned to stone!"

"Wait," Lew said, closing his eyes, "Medusa to the right. Charley now!"

Just as he said that, Medusa attacked Charley from the side. But, before Medusa could get a hit on the yellow ranger, Charley pulled her blaster out and fired, without looking. The blast only hit Medusa's wrist.

"Wait! Guys—" Charley said, "—My force field should protect us from Medusa. She shouldn't be able to turn us to stone." A yellow field extended out from Charley and surrounded around the rangers.

"So," Bryce said, "Who wants to test this theory?"

"Nose goes!" Jet said, touching his nose.

"Fine," Kennedi said, being the last one to do it, "I'll do it." Shaking, Kennedi turned around.

Just as Charley predicted, Kennedi didn't turn to stone. Kennedi released the breath she was holding.

"I'm fine guys."

"Not for long!" Medusa said, pulling a small hand gun out. As she fired, the bullets bounced off the force field.

"Guys!" Charley shouted, "I can't hold this for much long."

"Just hold on," Lew said. He paused, thinking, "Charley try using your blaster again. Maybe she can't hit us, but we could hit her."

Charley re pulled out her small yellow blaster and fired. Unlike Medusa's gun, her blast went through the force field and hit the Daemon.

"We may not be able to use our swords, but we could still get hits using our powers." Kennedi said. She summoned a bunch of green vines to surround Medusa.

"Good thinking." Jet said. He grabbed a nearby boulder and through it at Medusa.

Before it could hit Medusa, the Daemon broke through the vines and blasted the boulder to pieces.

"My turn!" Charley said. Concentrating on Medusa's mind, she forced the Daemon to feel as if she was burning.

Medusa cried out in pain, and fell to her knees. She had her head tucked in.

Lew teleported out of the force field and appeared behind the Daemon. He pulled his sword out of its slot. As he swung down to hit her, she disappeared.

"Damn it." Jet said, as he walked over to Lew.

Charley released her force field, and she demorphed from the power loss.

"Are you OK?" Kennedi asked, helping her up.

"Yeah. Thanks."

"Let's go back to base and see if we can find out more about Medusa." Lew said, as he and the boys walked over.

"I'll check all the databases," Charley said.

"Hey!" Kennedi said to Jet, "Weren't you supposed to be on a date?"

"I forgot." He said, hitting his forehead.

"You go. I think we have this covered." Lew said.

"We'll call you if we find out anything else." Bryce said.

"Alright." Jet said. After checking if the cost was clear, he demorphed. The other rangers teleported back to base.

"I'm screwed." Jet ran towards the school. When he reached their school's park, he saw Melody sitting on one of the blue benches.

"Sorry, I'm late." Jet said, as he jogged over.

"It's fine." Melody was awkwardly holding her wrist.

"What happened?" He took her wrist.

"I'm fine." Melody snapped, pulling her wrist back, wincing.

"It doesn't look like it," Jet said, taking her wrist back, "Did you burn yourself?"

"In food and nutrition, I burnt myself cooking. Cooking and I don't mix."

"You should get this checked out." Jet said.

"I'll live. Why don't we go now?" Melody said.

"Alright," They got up, "I know the best place to eat."

Phoebe flinched, as she heard a crash from behind her. Phoebe looked behind her only to nothing. Carefully she kept moving down through Hades' palace.

"Keep moving!" A voice boomed. There was a faint sound of chains being dragged.

Phoebe rushed over and hid behind a large crate. She peeked over to see a large Daemon pushing a small weaker Daemon along.

The small Daemon had chains tied around its ankles and her clothes her torn and tattered. She could have passed off as a human if it wasn't for her face being half mutated and her arms were covered with scales. The scales were a light pinkish color that could easily be passed off as skin from far away. As for her face, one half was covered in bright red spots and a yellow star was engraved on her other cheek.

She cried out in pain as the larger Daemon pushed her down.

"Get up!" He shouted to her. She pushed herself up, only to fall back down.

Frustrated, the Daemon grabbed a hold of her chains and dragged her into the throne room where Hades and Persephone were. Phoebe quietly followed them, while staying hidden.

Hades stood up and walked over to the female Daemon.

"So you lied and failed me," He said, as he towered above her, "You know what happens to people like you?"

"Hades, please don't." Persephone begged.

"You have no say in this," He snapped, "As for you, I give you sentence to Tartarus." Snapping his fingers the female Daemon disappeared.

Phoebe, from where she was hiding, lost her balance and fell out into the open.

"Ah, Phoebe. Here for your Red Ranger?"

"I'm bringing her back one way or another." Phoebe said.

"What, like you did with Allison?" Hades asked, "If I remember correctly that didn't work out so well last time."

"Don't test me!" Phoebe shouted, drawing her sword.
