"Wait," Charley said, while pointing between the two other people in Olympian Ops. Marissa silently watched from behind. "You know her?"
"Marissa, this is Charlotte, or Charley. Charley, Marissa," Bryce introduced the two females to each other. Charley nodded, and turned her back to Marissa to face Bryce. She held a confused look on her face. "She moved in across the street." he explained.
"How did you get in here," Charley asked, still wary of the other girl.
"Look," Marissa said, as she sighed out. "I am sorry for causing any problems here. I am not an intruder, or apart of Hades' crew. I need to see Phoebe though. It is very urgent," Marissa tried to make her way around Bryce, but the Green Ranger grabbed a hold of her shoulders. Charley stood behind Bryce, with her fist drawn.
"What's going on in here?" Phoebe yelled, as she came out of the Zord Bay. The doors slid shut behind her. She saw the three teens in the center of the room, and Charley who still held a defensive stance. Phoebe drew her fist, ready for a fight, but dropped the stance when she saw the intruder. "Impossible… You look like–"
"Alessandra?" Marissa finished, nodding. "She is my grandma. It has been joked about how much I look like her." Marissa laughed, flicking a piece of her blonde hair out of her face. "But, that is not why I am here. I have something that belongs to the Rangers'," She carefully took the white crystal necklace off, and handed it over to Phoebe. "It has been passed down from my grandmother, to my mother, and then to me. I was told that whoever had it when the time comes was ordered to bring it to you."
"Alessandra died though," Phoebe mumbled, skeptically looking down at the crystal in her hand.
"Yes," Marissa nodded, while gnawing on her lip. "And now she can rest in peace knowing that the seventh crystal has been placed back in the right hands." Phoebe looked over at Charley and nodded to her to grab a scanner. Charley grabbed the metal scanner off the monitor table and handed it over. Phoebe waved it over the crystal, and it beeped three times.
"Thank you," Phoebe said, starring at the crystal. The crystal suddenly glowed, and held it for a few seconds. The light flickered before going out completely.
"That can't be good," Bryce said, watching the crystal. Phoebe ran over to the computer and placed it on a larger scanner that was directly hooked up to the monitors.
"The crystal…" Phoebe said, looking up at the screen. The three others crowded around her. "Its energy levels are significantly low. It's dying."
"It can be fixed… right?" Charley asked, taking the seat next to Phoebe. She typed in a few command to extend the screen bigger. She leaned forwards, and using her fingers she made the screen zoomed in. She touched the picture that was monitoring the city and pushed it off to the side.
"Not without having a matching energy source to reboot it," Phoebe mumbled. She sighed and rested her head on her hands. Marissa quietly watched in the background.
"What about another crystal to charge it?" Bryce asked, scratching his head. Phoebe nodded.
"Possibly, but we would need a full crystal to recharge this one," Phoebe said, looking at the monitor. She spun her chair around to face Bryce and Marissa. "The other six are all on Olympus. I would have to go in front of the Olympian Court and make an appeal to the law. Most of the Gods are still wary of taking the crystals off Olympus."
"Couldn't you take the crystal to Mount Olympus instead of the other way around," Marissa asked, speaking up. The others looked at her funny. "Sorry… I should have left."
"No, that's a great idea," Bryce said. "Is it possible though?"
"The technology needed only is found here in Olympian Ops. If it was taken out of this realm, it would most likely overload when passing through the dimensions," Phoebe sighed. Charley nodded.
"How soon can you leave?" Charley asked.
"I could go now, but I would prefer to leave after we defeated Aergia," Phoebe admitted, still worried from the last time she left the Rangers alone. The loud siren in the Command Center went off, which caused Marissa to jump. Charley spun around in her chair and pulled up the city. Aergia was down by the docks, attacking the workers. Workers hit by Aergia's attack, lazily sat around.
"Looks like we have company," Charley said, standing up. Bryce nodded from behind and Marissa excitedly stood on the side.
"Let me guess your yellow and green?" Marissa asked, nodding to Charley and then Bryce. The two looked at her in awe. "I come from a planet in a nearby galaxy where Power Rangers' do not keep their identities a secret. It is also pretty easy to pick up the signs once you get to know them."
"Marissa's family comes from a line of rare species known as shape shifters," Phoebe explained. "Alessandra was one of the oldest I knew." Bryce nodded, and walked off to the side to call the other Rangers.
"Unlike humans, we live much longer," Marissa explained. "That's how my grandmother was a Power Ranger back 5,000 years ago."
"So the dog was you then?" Charley asked, skeptical. Marissa nodded.
"Yeah, it would look a lot more suspicious if a human was lurking around the school long after closing. A run away dog wouldn't seem so bad." Bryce rejoined the trio.
"The others are on their way," Bryce said, and Charley nodded. She stood up and pushed her chair away. "Let's morph."
"Olympian Force, Protectors of Earth!" in a flash, the two Ranger's teleported away.
"Would you mind if I stayed and observed?" Marissa asked, as she quietly walked over to Phoebe who was monitoring the fight. At the same time she was also working with the crystal. Phoebe had placed the crystal back on the scanner, and had also pulled out the old white morpher. Dust and spider webs had collected on it. Phoebe carefully cleaned it off and placed it with the crystal.
"Please stay," Phoebe extended her hand out to an empty chair. Marissa nodded, and sat down. "Thank you again for returning the crystal." Marissa smiled and turned back to the screen to watch the fight.
"Thanks for finally joining us," Kennedi laughed, as she threw her dagger at a group of Dwellers. The one took the hit straight on, and stumbled backwards.
"We're not too late for the party, are we?" Bryce asked, as he flung a large ball of light towards the same group of Dwellers. The light exploded, and pushed all of the Dwellers into the air. When they hit the ground, they disappeared. Twenty more Dwellers appeared and surround the two Olympians. "Great." Bryce mumbled.
"We could really use some help," Nathalie shouted, as she shot another arrow at a Dweller. Jet was on her backside, using his sword to fight off the Dwellers in front of him. He swung his sword, which knocked into one of the Dwellers. Using his super strength, Jet over powered the creature, and sent it flying into a large crate. More Dweller appeared and surrounded the two. Nathalie quickly exchanged her bow and arrow for her basic Olympian Sword, which was swung over her back.
"Watch out!" Lew shouted at Charley, as he saw Aergia throw a lazy spell at Charley. Lew knocked her to the ground with him on top. Lew got up, and extended his hand for Charley. "Are you ok?" Charley wordlessly nodded, shaken up still.
"Let's team up," Charley said. Lew nodded and grabbed his hammer, while Charley grabbed her blaster. The two ran towards Aergia. Charley hit her directly with her blast. Taken back, Aergia didn't see Lew teleport behind her and swing his hammer. Aergia flew forward onto her stomach on the pavement. She groaned and flipped herself around.
"Nice try," Aeriga sneered, as she grabbed her sword off of her back. She ran forward faster than Charley could see, and swung hard. Charley took the hit right to the stomach, and fell backwards off of the dock into the water.
"Charley!" Bryce shouted, as he turned his head just in time to see the Yellow Ranger get hit. The Dweller he was busy fighting with, swung his sword when Bryce wasn't looking. Bryce fell backwards into the hands of another Dweller. That Dweller flipped Bryce onto his back and five more joined him as they surrounded the Green Ranger.
Marissa worriedly watched as the Rangers were slowing getting defeated. One by one they were falling to the ground. Marissa gasped as she watched Charley get out of the water when the Yellow Ranger's suit flickered out of existence for a few seconds.
"There has to be something we can do," Marissa begged, turning to Phoebe. Phoebe shook her head no.
"I'm sorry," Phoebe mumbled, without her eyes leaving the screen. She got up to go grab a tool off the other side of the room. "Without the white crystal working properly, they will have to do this on their own." Marissa nodded, as looked at the seventh crystal and morpher. She glanced back up at the screen in time to see Bryce demorph.
Marissa spun around in her chair to see Phoebe had left in search of the missing tool. The Zord Bay door slid shut, and Marissa was all alone. Marissa turned back to the screen, and she winced as she saw the Red Ranger take a sword to the gut. The Ranger's suit was very beat up.
The shape shifter got up and quickly grabbed the white crystal and morpher and made a dash for the portal exit. She turned around one last time and looked around the base before she left.
"Stop right there!" Marissa yelled, as she stood strongly at the port. Aergia laughed as she saw the teen.
"Get out of here!" Kennedi yelled, when she saw the unprotected teen. Marissa shook her head, and pulled her sleeve back to show the white wrist morpher. The crystal occupied its normal place around Marissa neck. It glowed lightly before fading.
"Olympian Force, Protectors of Earth!" Marissa shouted, as she pulled the morpher up to the left side of her face.
Marissa is standing in Athena's temple dressed in a white dress. A white haze falls upon her and covers her whole body. A bright white light extends out of the haze, and breaks away all of the smoke. As the light disappears Marissa's body is replaced with her suit.
"With the spirit of Athena! White Olympian Ranger!" Marissa shouted, as she poses. Her suit suddenly started to flicker out of existence. "Oh no!" Marissa cried, as she doubled over. Her suit finally stopped flickering, and stayed on.
"No!" Aergia cried out. The other Ranger's all looked around in awe as they saw the white Ranger in front of them.
"Olympic Bo!" Marissa shouted, extending her right hand out. A large staff appeared into her hand. It flickered in and out of existence twice, before it stayed. Marissa released the breath she was holding and she charged towards Aergia. Marissa swung her staff hard, and hit Aergia in the stomach. The Daemon screamed as she hit the water hard.
Marissa gasped, as she felt a pain shoot through her body. Power waved through her suit, causing her to scream out. Marissa bit hr lip as she tried to fight through the pain.
Aergia had gotten out of the water and had her sword drawn. The Daemon ran towards the White Ranger and the two's sword clanged together loudly. Marissa used all of her strength and swung upward, pushing Aergia's sword out of her hands. Quickly Marissa slashed Aergia across the stomach. Both stumbled backwards.
"Need some help?" Jet asked, as he and Lew helped Marissa up. Marissa wordlessly nodded, exhausted.
"Let's finish her off," Lew said, gripping his hammer tighter. The other's nodded, as they held their Olympic weapons. Marissa stood up and held her Bo.
"Irenic Blaster!" Bryce shouted, as all of the Rangers and Marissa threw their weapons into the air. Bryce caught the large blaster, and all of the Rangers grabbed a part of it.
"Fire!" they all shouted. This time, a white blast came out with the rest of them. It hit Aergia and caused the Daemon to explode.
Marissa stumbled backwards and lost her morph. Her hair was all matted across her face. She groaned as her feet fell out from under her.
"Got you," Lew said, as he caught her. She nodded in thanks, as he carefully set her on the ground. Marissa watched as Aergia grew in front of her. "We got this one." Lew said, as the other nodded. The six original Rangers jumped into the air, into their respective Zords.
"High Irenic Megazord!" They shouted, as the Zords each combined. The sun had started to set across the ocean. Aergia laughed, and grabbed her sword.
"Let's finish this!" Kennedi shouted, from her cockpit. The others nodded, as they gripped their steering wheels tighter. Aergia ran towards the Megazord and swung her sword high. The Rangers ducked and Aergia's sword swung through the air. While the Megazord ducked, it pushed Aergia backwards. Aergia stumbled and regained her posture. The Megazord ran towards Aergia and kicked at the Daemon. Aergia grabbed her sword to try to counter the attack, but the Megazord ended up kicking her sword out of her hands into the ocean.
"Let's beat this creep!" Bryce said, as he commanded the Megazord to pull out its blaster. "High Irenic Blaster!" he shouted. The blast hit Aergia and caused her to explode and shrink to the ground. The Rangers cheered and Lew and Bryce high fived each other. Marissa celebrated on the ground, as she watched the Megazord finish Aergia off.
All around Olympia Heights, everyone who was affected by the lazy spell came back to life, and got off the ground.
Bryce jumped out of his Zord first, and already had an Ascelpius cube in his hand. He pressed the center button and caused the cube to grow. Bryce smiled as he picked up Aergia with two fingers and placed the screaming Daemon into the cube. Bryce threw the cube up into the air and caught it before he made his way over to Marissa.
"Ouch," Marissa cried, as Nathalie healed the last of Marissa's bad burns from when her Ranger suit over powered. Nathalie nodded before replacing her hands back on the last of Marissa's burns. Introductions between the other Rangers had already been made, and the Rangers where lazily sitting around the Command Center waiting on Phoebe's verdict on the White Morpher.
"Great job out there," Lew said, smiling. "You really saved us. Welcome to the team." Marissa nodded, as Nathalie pulled her hands off Marissa's arm.
"All done," Nathalie said, brushing her hands off. Marissa nodded in thanks and stood up.
"You could have been killed, yet you chose to help us," Charley said, as she sadly looked at the new Ranger. "Why did you do it?" Marissa shrugged.
"I guess I couldn't just sit there and watch you guys get hurt," Marissa said, as she shrugged her black jacket over her white shirt. Kennedi turned around as she heard Phoebe quietly approach the group. The rest turned around, and saw Phoebe's sad look. "Is the morpher and crystal going to be ok?" Marissa asked.
"When you morphed, the crystal over powered itself, and officially burned out," Phoebe said. "The morpher itself is in very bad shape. It may take a long time before I can get it up and running. But the crystal is dead. It can't be used again."
