Chapter 14- Princess of Darkness

As the fire disappeared, and the smoke began to clear, the rangers held their breaths.

"Come on Syd. Come on." Sky muttered under his breath as he clenched his fists by his sides.

Suddenly the room was filled with a pink glow and when it softened they could see Syd floating in the air about 2 foot from the floor, her head bowed and her eyes clossed. When the last of the pink light disappeared into her body, Syd inhaled a sharp breath and opened her eyes. Before she could open her mouth to say anything she fell straight on to her backside.

" Syd your OK!" It was more of a statement than a question.

"Yeah I'm fine Bridge" Syd smiled at Sky as he held out his hand to help her up. As soon as her hand made contact with his, a feeling of electricity passed through them and they let go, immediately feeling the need to have that feeling back.

"So guys what do we do now?"

"Well we have three choices, 1- we can try and fight who or whatever is attacking the base in our current forms. 2- We can stay in here away from the fight so we can come up with some sort of a plan and 3- We can follow that passage way and run the risk of it collapsing in on it and we die of suffocation." Z finished her list by counting their options on her fingers.

"So either way were screwed" Jack leaned against the wall and crossed his arms over his chest and sighed.

Suddenly another explosion rocked the base. Sky pulled Syd towards him and he pushed them both against the wall.

Bridge was thrown across the room and Jack pulled Z out of the way just as a huge chunk of the ceiling came crashing down. Screams rang out through the base. Syd threw her hands to her head and her knees gave out underneath her.

"Syd, whats wrong. Syd?" Sky kneeled on the floor as the building continued to be rocked by explosions.

"It hurts Sky it hurts."

"What hurts Syd?"

"Not being able to kill you rangers." Syd pushed Sky away with so much force he hit the wall at the other end of the room. Jack and Z looked at her in surprise and shock while Bridge helped Sky up.

"Whats gotten into you Syd?" Z began to approach her when she was blasted into Jacks arms by a stream of dark energy. Syd began to laugh but it wasn't her typical bubbly giggle it was a dark menacing laugh and as she was laughing she raised her hands into the air and was engulfed with the same light that engulfed her in the nightmare realm. The rangers regrouped and watched in horror as Syd once again changed. Her hair was once again a dull blonde with black streaks and her uniform had been replaced by a tight black catsuit and knee high boots.

"Uh oh not again..." Bridge instinctively moved backwards and tried to pull Sky with him but the blue ranger wouldn't be swayed instead he moved towards Syd. Syd however looked unfased and smirked at the approaching blue ranger.

"Have you come to rescue me Sky, have you come to save your pretty pink princess?"

"Snap out of it Syd I know you can do it." He held out his hand towards her. Syd looked at his hand and slowly raised her own towards it.

"Sky..." She grasped his hand and just as he was about to say something she sent a wave of black electricity up his arm and through his body.

"Get over yourself." She held out her free hand and caught the others in the same elecrtical beams.

"Will you miss me?" She began to taunt the rangers.

"Who are you?"

"Jack you know who I am...I'm your worst nightmare."

" Cadet Drew, release the rangers this instant.

Without turning around Syd smiled.

"Hello Cruger, we meet again."

Syd released the other, who collapsed to ground breathless and in pain. Syd began to strole towards Cruger who raised his sword. He was already morphed so the rangers couldn't see the emotions playing across his face.

"Cadet Drew. Sydney. Stop where you are." When she wouldn't stop, he raised his sword high in the air and brought it down towards her head.

"NOOOO!" Sky yelled even though it hurt like hell. However the blow never reached her head as Syd grabbed the blade of the sword and in one move, shattered it and grabbed Cruger by the neck and lifted him off the floor.

"You see Cruger, you never could match up to my strength could you, and your rangers are so pathetic that they couldn't even take out Grumm. But look at me, I'm just a little girl and I've taken out all of your rangers, I've broken your precious sword and I know hold your life quite litterally in my hands. So I think I deserve a reward don't you."

"Syd what are you doing, put the commander down." Z and Jack began yelling and all the while Sky and Bridge were lost for words. This wasn't Sydney Drew. It wasn't their bubbly girly girl princess.

"Who are you and what have you done with Syd?" Sky struggled to get to his feet which was made all the more difficult as yet another explosion ripped through the base.

" I Sky, am the Princess of Darkness!"
