'PR LIGHTSPEED RESCUE: ON AND OFF THE SCREEN'
Last time on PR Lightspeed Rescue: On and Off the Screen:
The rangers are undergoing training and Carter learns a valuable lesson in not jumping to conclusions and into a fight. With the fight against the demons getting underway, what will happen now?
Chapter / Episode 5: Riding the Edge
A young blond woman in a ponytail ran down the street, leash in hand that held a puppy.
"You're doing great, Dorcy", the woman told the puppy.
After running another 20 to 30 feet or so, the woman noticed her shoelace was untied. Placing down the leash, the woman proceeded to tie her shoelace, however, the puppy ran out into the street as the woman tied her shoelace. The woman panicked seeing this.
"Dorcy! Dorcy, no, come back here", the woman called out running after the puppy.
The woman didn't even look out for traffic. Thankfully, a male pedestrian held the woman back from being run over by ongoing traffic. Several pedestrians started to gather at the ongoing scene. The woman kept calling after the puppy that now sat in the middle of the street just waiting to be run over by a car. That was just what was about to happen as a driver spotted the puppy and hit the brakes, only to have the car continue to slide forward. Seeing this, the woman reached out, still being held back by the male pedestrian. Just then, a figure in skates jumped out from the side of the group and rushed out into the street after the puppy, thankfully avoiding traffic along the way. The blond couldn't even watch anymore and covered her eyes. The skater never hesitated and grabbed the puppy out of the way just as the car skidded to a halt. The blond only now took a look.
"I got her", the skater called out.
Just as the blond started to get a sense of relief, she panicked again when an oncoming truck honked its horns.
"Look out!" the blond called out.
The skater backed up and skated underneath the length of the truck quickly crossing over to the opposite side of the street and avoiding anymore traffic before regaining her balance and giving a thumbs up to the small group of people that had gathered. Finally looking both ways, the blond moved to cross the street with the group coming after her, the male finally letting go.
"Dorcy, oh, Dorcy", the woman cooed getting the puppy handed back to her. "Oh, Thank you so much",
"No worries", the skater replied.
"I'm Nancy, this is Dorcy", the blond introduced herself and the puppy.
The skater held out her hand. "Kelsey, nice to meet you both."
Nancy shook Kelsey's hand and looked at her with awe. "Gee, you must be crazy, but I'm very glad you are."
"Crazy is my middle name."
The blond got a laugh out of this.
"Well, got to go", Kelsey said.
Nancy let out a disappointed "Oh" at this.
"Nice to meet you Nancy, see you later, Dorcy", Kelsey said tickling the puppy's chin a bit before waving and skating off.
Kelsey headed back to the Aquabase for breakfast with the other rangers and to prepare for the morning training session.
- / - / - / - / - / -
Kelsey walked down the halls of the Aquabase after returning and changing out of her skates, ready for breakfast with the others and to prepare for morning training. As she headed to the galley though, she ran into Joel coming out of their quarters.
"Morning Joel, heading out for breakfast?." Kelsey greeted.
"Morning Kelsey. Yeah, you ready to go?" Joel replied.
"Yup, let's go."
The other rangers were already seated at a table when Joel and Kelsey arrived at the galley. Grabbing breakfast, Joel and Kelsey took their seats with the others.
"Morning, guys." Joel greeted.
The other three rangers talked over each other in their morning greetings to the Green and Yellow Rangers.
"Better be quick guys, almost time for training", Carter reminded the others.
"No worries, we'll be on time", Joel replied.
Dana could only wish Joel was a bit more serious. "You mean barely on time, I see you're the last one up as usual."
"As long as I'm not holding anyone back...", Joel stated.
Dana let out a sigh. Joel was doing fine during training and was fighting the demons just fine so she can't force him to do additional training like the rest of them, but she didn't like that Joel was doing the minimum. It could get them in trouble one day.
Carter placed his hand on Dana's shoulder. "Hey, it's okay. He may not do any extra training, but he still works hard."
Dana relented. "I know, I know. I'm not trying to be picky. I just want everyone at their best."
"We're getting there", Carter assured her.
"We just need to stay positive. Sometimes, even normal activities can end up to be training. My reaction time sure got a test today", Kelsey told them.
"What happened?", Chad asked.
"I was skating along minding my own business when I ran across a small crowd. A puppy had ran out into the middle of a busy road and was close to being run over. Luckily, I made it just in time to save it", Kelsey explained.
"Lucky for the puppy then", Joel quipped.
"Lucky for the puppy and its owner, you mean. Her name's Nancy and the puppy's name is Dorcy. Still had to avoid an on coming truck though", Kelsey retorted.
"Well, it looks like everyone came out unscathed at least", Carter pointed out relieved.
Kelsey agreed. "You said it."
The rangers soon finished breakfast and prepared to head off to training. The training was going smoothly and the rangers were really coming along, but there was still much work to be done. The rangers were only just getting used to the fighting. It was going to be a long road ahead for them.

Within the dark confines of the Skull Cavern that the demons called home, the demons complained that the rangers were getting in their way.
"I've grown tired of these pesky Power Rangers, it is time to reclaim Mariner Bay, then we can finally rebuild our palace", Diabolico said.
"Diabolico, let me go take care of them. I can handle it", Loki replied.
Vypra interjected. "I wouldn't if I were you, we need a monster the rangers can't even get close to."
Loki wasn't happy with Vypra's interjection. "What do you mean?"
Diabolico, however, agreed with Vypra. "She's right. Vypra, you've just given me an incredible idea. Jinxer, time to create."
Jinxer stepped forward. "What do you have in mind?"
Diabolico handed Jinxer a card. "Something that will blow everyone away."
Jinxer bowed. "My pleasure."
Jinxer stepped forward towards the bat-like cavern that opened into a void and threw the card into it. "Tornado winds, blow from the east, transform this card into a monstrous beast"
The demons started to cackle.
"Yes", Diabolico encouraged.
Jinxer continued the chant while the baby demon Impus cooed "Mama". "Bring us a demon that will make the Queen proud, Now"
The monster appeared in flashes of red lighting.
"You're absolutely perfect", Diabolico told the monster.
"Whirlin at your service, my winds will blow away whatever you want", the monster said.
"Perfect, use you tornado powers to blow away Mariner Bay and the Power Rangers", Diabolico told the monster.
"No problem", Whirlin replied.

Within the girls' side of the rangers' quarters, Dana had the morning news on. At the moment, a news report was on regarding the launching of a space shuttle.
"We bring you this special report from My5 News", the announcer announced.
The news anchor started her report. "In the news today, Mariner Bay's Space Development Program is launching its new shuttle. As final preparations are underway, a spokesman from the space program has announced that this shuttle flight will launch a low orbit satellite. This mission will be flown by first time pilot Nancy Cooper. Ms. Cooper is a graduate of Mariner Bay's own flight academy and graduated first in her class. We're all quite proud of our girl and wish her the best of luck on this mission. I understand that they are ready for liftoff and are going to start the countdown."
As the news ran, Kelsey entered the girl's side of the adjoined quarters and spotted the report.
"Hey, that's Nancy, the girl I told you guys about, with the puppy", Kelsey said.
It was at this time that the boys came to the girls side ready to head out to training.
"You guys ready to go?", Joel asked as the countdown started on the news.
"Wait a sec, Kelsey's friend's on tv", Dana told Joel.
Carter and Chad stepped over to the girls' side as well and took a spot watching the news.
"This mission will spend only a quick 4 hours in space where it will run several ship maneuvers and vacuum tests which have been strategically mapped out as well as launching a satellite. What a spectacular sight, ladies and gentleman, The first stage has separated..."
It was at this time that the rangers' morphers beeped.
"Ladies and gentleman, we've got trouble", the Captain told them.
"Can it wait, Sir? We're watching the...", Joel started to say before the Captain interrupted him.
"Joel"
"I mean, we'll be right there, Sir."
The rangers headed out while the space shuttle headed out into space to run its tests and launch its satellite. When the rangers reached the site of the attack at the docks, winds were blowing everything every which way with citizens trying to make their way to shelter.
"This is crazy, everyone inside, come on", Carter ordered.
The rangers started to lead the citizens to safety as the winds continued to blow. The winds were so strong that a citizen was blown off their feet and Kelsey had to catch them. When the winds finally died down, a huge flaming circle hung in the air, the image of Diabolico showing itself to the rangers.
"What's that?", Carter asked.
The golden figure of Diabolico cackled. "I am Diabolico."
Carter wasn't impressed. "What do you want from us?"
"I have come to destroy your precious city, and restore Queen Bansheera's magnificent palace", Diabolico answered.
The flaming circle and golden figure disappeared even as Carter called out "Wait". The tornado winds started up again and the tornado traveled inward from the docks towards the city.
"Come on guys, we got to follow it", Carter said.
The rangers sped after the tornado while the space shuttle ran its tests out in space. The rangers chased after the tornado around the city. Luckily, Captain Mitchell had already given the order for everyone in the city to take shelter. The rangers used their Rescue Blasters to try and break through the tornado, but was only able to force the tornado to secluded areas. While the rangers hoped to have done better, they were able to prevent damage and innocent people from getting hurt. The rangers were finally able to catch up with the tornado at a storage yard away from the center of the city.
Carter turned on his scanner. "Scanner, online. He's in the tornado. Rescue Blaster."
Carter blasted the tornado dead center several times and the dark-blue monster finally revealed itself. The monster had sharp claws and fangs with large rounded golden horns that protruded from the shoulders. In addition, gill-and-bag-like projections were on either side of the monster's chin stretching out towards the double circular pack that was on the monster's back. Whirlin growled as he jumped to the ground being blasted out of the tornado.
"Whirlin's the name, blowing is my game. You won't even get close to me, rangers", Whirlin taunted.
Carter wasn't phased. "We don't care what your name is, just get out of Mariner Bay."
"Don't you realize you can't stop me?", Whirlin asked with confidence.
Carter disagreed. "Save your breath. My friends and I will stop you. That's a promise."
"So it's friends you want, is it, well, meet some of mine", Whirlin replied summoning a bunch of batlings.
"He's got a lot of friends", Chad said.
"But we've got each other", Carter responded.
"Batlings, destroy them", Whirlin commanded.
The rangers set their Rescue Blasters to baton mode and the battle ensued. Chad spun around, his rescue blaster clanging with the daggers of the batlings. Joel flipped using a wire and kicked down a batling before pulling himself up and elbowing another batling. He sweep kicked another batling before spinning around to take care of more. Dana rolled and blasted batlings coming her way from down the alley of the storage units. She turned and blasted some more that were coming her way. Dana looked up and blasted several batlings that were on top on a storage unit. Kelsey pushed and elbowed a batling onto their back before hooking onto a wire and riding up. Reaching for her rescue blaster, Kelsey blasted the batlings on the ground.
- / - / - / - / - / -
By this time, the space shuttle had finished its tests and was reentering the Earth's atmosphere.
"Booster engine on clear", Nancy reported.
- / - / - / - / - / -
The rangers' battle with Whirlin was still ongoing at this time. Whirlin smashed Carter into a storage tank while Carter tried to turn away. Whirlin pulled at Carter and dragged Carter around before throwing him onto the ground.
"You can't defeat me, I'm invincible", Whirlin claimed.
Carter ran forward. "We'll see about that."
Whirlin launched a blast straight towards Carter that knocked him down.
Chad caught up with Carter. "Oh no, Carter's down."
The other rangers having taken care of the batlings ran towards Carter.
"Are you okay?", Dana asked.
"I'm alright", Carter replied.
"Are you sure?" Kelsey asked.
"I'm fine, it's okay." Carter replied once more.
Whirlin laughed then launched a blast the rangers' way that blew them off their feet.
"Rescue blasters." Carter called out as the ranger launched their own attack at Whirlin with their Rescue Blasters.
"I'll be back", Whirlin said twisting into another tornado.
- / - / - / - / - / -
The space shuttle had at this time entered the Earth's atmosphere and was preparing to land.
"Looks like there's a weather condition up ahead", Nancy said.
Nancy started to get a clear visual as the winds of the tornado came up in front of them. "Tornado, hold on."
The space shuttle entered the side of the tornado and debris and the winds hit the shuttle hard. Nancy fiddled with the controls trying to gain some control of the aircraft.
"Boost up engine 2, check our altitude", Nancy ordered.
"We're at 48,000 and dropping", the co-pilot replied.
- / - / - / - / - / -
The rangers weren't going to let Whirlin get his way and get away for that matter and called for the Rescue Bird.
Setting the Rescue Bird in Unilaser mode, the rangers were ready to take Whirlin down. "Ready"
The rangers aimed the Unilaser into the heart of the tornado. "Aim"
"Fire"
The Unilaser blasted right through the tornado and hit Whirlin straight on taking Whirlin down. Whirlin blew up and was no more.
Carter was the first to speak. "Yeah, looks like the weather's clearing up."
It was however too early to celebrate as the space shuttle was still in trouble. Captain Mitchell knew of this and immediately informed the rangers.
"Rangers"
"Go ahead, Sir", Kelsey responded.
"The space shuttle is in trouble", Captain Mitchell informed as he watched on the monitors.
"We're loosing attitude", Nancy reported.
"The tornado hit the shuttle pretty hard, did lots of damage, we don't think she's going to be able to land on her own", Captain Mitchell informed the rangers.
"Oh no, Nancy's in there", Kelsey said.
Joel stepped up and patted Kelsey on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Kelsey. Captain Mitchell, I can help out with Aero Rescue 3."
"You can't do it alone, Joel. You won't be able to land safely. You'll both crash."
Joel punched his hand. "We've got to do something."
Kelsey was the first to come up with an idea. "Wait a minute, I've got an idea what to do."
Carter was up for any idea. "Great, let's hear it."
"I'd tell you, but you'd think I was crazy. Rescue Zords, mobilize."
The zord sub-bay surfaced and the Rail Rescue were off.
"Let's hit it", Joel said.
Carter inserted his controller. "You call the sorts, Kelsey."
"Ready", Chad said.
"Joel, locate the shuttle", Kelsey ordered.
"You got it, Kelsey", Joel replied.
"Follow me", Kelsey told the others.
"You've got it", Dana replied
Within the space shuttle, Nancy was still on the controls, trying her very best to gain control over the shuttle.
"Hello, space shuttle. This is Aero Rescue 3, at your service, coming up at your 2 o'clock right about now", Joel greeted when he located the shuttle.
"Great, my steering controller's jam, including my landing gear", Nancy reported.
"Don't worry. Kelsey, I'm in position", Joel reported.
"Alright, attach your cable magnets onto the shuttle", Kelsey said.
"Cable magnets, for what?" Nancy asked.
"We're going to help you land", Kelsey replied.
Joel did as instructed. "Roger that."
Joel moved the Aero Rescue 3 above the space shuttle. "Try and keep her steady Nancy, I'm locking on."
"Careful. I don't have much control", Nancy replied.
Joel lowered his cable magnets. "Almost… Alright, we got you."
Joel then pulled the nose up and level himself and the shuttle.
"Carter, my readings are showing that the shuttle is leveling off", Chad reported.
"That's fantastic, but it can't land at that speed", Carter said.
'Dana, clear the freeway, it's about to become a landing strip", Kelsey ordered.
"I'm on it", Dana replied.
"Attention, this is an emergency. You must clear the freeway. Everyone drive into the back of the Med Rescue vehicle. Please proceed quickly and carefully", Dana announced opening the hatch of the Med Rescue 5.
Within moments, the freeway was cleared.
"Close hatch, car load complete, freeway's all yours, Kelsey", Dana reported.
"Great", Kelsey said starting to drive down the freeway.
"Joel, put the shuttle on my roof", Kelsey ordered.
"What? On top of your zord?" Joel asked surprised.
"While you're moving, you must be crazy", Nancy said.
"Crazy is my middle name", Kelsey replied.
"Your middle name, Kelsey? Hey Kelsey, is that you?" Nancy asked.
"The one and only". Kelsey replied.
"Well, if you think this will work, I think so too. let's go", Nancy said.
"That's the spirit", Kelsey encouraged.
"Beginning descend", Joel reported.
"All set Joel, bring her down", Kelsey said.
"I've got a visual", Nancy reported.
"Easy, smooth", Nancy said.
"I am all over it. This reminds me of the airshow days. Hold on, cause here comes the Sky Cowboy", Joel said excitedly.
Joel locked on the Kelsey's zord and released the shuttle when it was slightly behind the Haz Rescue 4.
"Alright, it's almost over", Kelsey said.
"Steady", Joel said.
"You got it", Dana said.
The shuttle landed on top of Kelsey's zord with a small thud.
"Got you, Carter, how am I doing?" Kelsey asked.
"Ease it down, you're running out of freeway", Carter told Kelsey.
"You can do it, Kelsey", Chad encouraged.
"You've got to stop", Carter told Kelsey.
"I'm trying", Kelsey replied.
The shuttle slid on the roof of the Haz Rescue 4.
Kelsey pulled on her steering stick. "Here we go, full reverse."
Kelsey's zord slowed and stopped just at the end of the freeway and the shuttle slid to a halt on top of the Haz Rescue 4.
"We did it", Nancy said as cheering started. "We did it."
"Yup, now that was crazy, even for me", Kelsey said.
Carter's zord moved forward and the ladder arms took the shuttle off of the roof of Kelsey's zord and placed it on the ground.
"Thank a lot, Carter", Kelsey said.
"Phew, you did the hard work", Carter said.
"I sure didn't do it alone. Nothing like doing the impossible", Kelsey replied.
"Thank you, all of you, Thank you", Nancy thanked the rangers.
- / - / - / - / - / -
Back at the storage facility, chunks of the blown up Whirlin were still on the ground.
"The things I have to do. Whirlin, your task isn't finished yet", Jinxer said throwing a card toward the chunks and chanting. "Demon of wind, demon of bats, pull yourself together and defeat those brats. Raise, Whirlin, raise and destroy."
With Jinxer's spell, Whirlin grew to a massive size.
"Oh, no", Carter said spotting the huge demon.
Nancy gasped in shock at the massive monster.
"Carter, time to step it up a level", Chad said.
"Megazord mode, Lightspeed", Carter said.
The other rangers saluted. "Lightspeed"
The ranger started to put the Lightspeed Megazord together.
"Megazord, initiate", Carter ordered.
"Alright, all systems go", Carter said once the Megazord assembly was complete.
"Wind spin", Whirlin said spinning into a tornado.
"Hang tight", Carter told the others.
"Look out", Chad warned.
"Hold on", Joel said.
Kelsey hung on letting out a "Whoa".
"Ahh", Dana cried out.
While the winds from Whirlin were strong, the rangers were able to hold on. It was the rangers' turn after the winds died down.
"Now it's our turn. Lightspeed ladder arms, Power thrust", Carter ordered.
The Lightspeed Megazord power-punched Whirlin a good several times before Carter grabbed onto Whirliin around the torso.
"Let's give this guy a lift", Carter said.
The Lightspeed Megazord lifted Whirlin and threw Whirlin to the ground with a small explosion.
"That's the last of that windbag", Joel said.
"We did it", Carter said.
"Not so fast guys, take a look", Chad said.
Whirlin wasn't destroyed and was getting up and growled.
"Lightspeed Megazord saber, Ignite", Carter called.
The Lightspeed Megard Saber appeared and the Megazord grabbed onto it.
"Full Power", Carter ordered.
The Megazord slashed at Whirlin and Whirlin fell backwards and blew up once again into nothing.
Nancy was impressed. "Nothing's impossible for you guys."
After the battle Kelsey ran off taking off her helmet to meet Nancy with the other rangers behind her.
"Kelsey", Nancy greeted.
Kelsey gave Nancy a hug. "Nancy."
Nancy hugged back. "I should have known you'd turn out to be a Power Ranger. So what's it like being a part of Lightspeed Rescue?"
"I love it, but it's funny though. I actually dreamed of flying a space shuttle, literally."
"Yeah, well after seeing the kind of rescues you have to do, I think I'll keep my job, and you should keep yours."
Everyone got a laugh out of that.
"I'll second that", Chad said.
Carter agreed. "Yeah."
- / - / - / - / - / -
Diabolico stepped forward in the dark confines of the Skull Cavern. He wasn't happy about the lost, but he knew there would be many more chances. "They may have won this battle, but we shall win the war. Mariner Bay will be destroyed and our palace will raise again."
- / - / - / - / - / -
The rangers and Nancy were out for dinner after the rangers' afternoon training session. It was the first time the rangers ate out ever since moving into the Aquabase and the rangers' were glad they were able to share the experience with a new friend.
Joel was still surprised by Kelsey's stunt, as were the other rangers. "I still can't belief you had me place the shuttle on top of your zord while you were moving."
"You barely had enough freeway," Carter added.
Kelsey let out a laugh of relief. "At least it worked."
Dana shook her head. "It was a relief that it worked. You would have crashed if it didn't."
Chad had held his breath during the stunt. "Cutting it a little too close if you ask me."
No one could argue against that comment, but Nancy was glad that everything turned out alright. "I'm sure we're all glad that things turned out alright. I'm glad that it was you guys in Lightspeed. You guys did the job perfectly."
"Thanks, but I hope we won't have to take those kind of a risk again", Carter replied.
"I'll say, being in Lightspeed isn't easy, that's for sure", Joel added.
"I'm sure. So honestly, how did you guys join Lightspeed?" Nancy asked.
"I was the one who brought them in. I worked at Lightspeed ever since I was little", Dana answered
"It was a shock for all of us. You should have seen our faces when we were practically kidnapped in public", Joel quipped.
Kelsey laughed. "You were complaining the whole time and when we met Captain Mitchell, you said and I quote "I don't know who you are, but this is illegal. This is kidnapping." Of course, we laugh about it now, but it certainly wasn't funny at the time."
"I don't think it was ever suppose to be funny", Chad pointed out.
Carter agreed. "I think Chad's right. This is serious. Who knows what will happen if we don't defeat the demons."
"So, how were you guys chosen to be rangers?" Nancy asked.
The other rangers were curious too and all looked over to Dana.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I didn't know I was chosen to be a ranger either. What I do know is the whole thing has to do with specific skills needed to create a well-balanced rescue team", Dana answered.
Carter looked at his teammates. "I guess that makes sense. Just think about it. We've got fire, water, land, air, and health all covered. Looks like a well-balanced rescue team to me."
"Still though, it doesn't have to be us. I wonder why...", Chad pointed out.
Kelsey wasn't discouraged. "Maybe we'll find out someday."
Joel was as little more straightforward. "We should just ask Captain Mitchell, plain and simple."
Carter looked over to the Sky Cowboy. "Unless you want to be the one to start that conversation..."
Joel held up his hands in defeat. "I surrender."
The others all let out a laugh at that. No one knew how to start that conversation. It would be very awkward to step up to the captain and ask "Why did you chose us to be rangers?".
Nancy had plenty more to say. "I saw the press conference Lightspeed held a few days ago. I think it reassured everyone. If it wasn't for that, I think I would have left Mariner Bay."
Dana had a sad look in her eyes. "The press conference may have stabilized the panic, but there are still people who left Mariner Bay to get away from the demons."
Carter picked up his glass. "I don't think it would matter where you are if the demons win. Remember what happened two years ago?"
"Who could forget?", Joel retorted. "It was all over the news. Angel Grove was the center of all the fighting, but it was spreading fast. Luckily, the rangers were there. I still can't believe they revealed their secret identifies. The rangers have kept their identities a secret for years."
"They must have their reasons and keeping our identities a secret isn't something we have to worry about", Carter pointed out.
"I still wonder what happened, one second those robot things were everywhere and the next, they were all gone, turned into piles of dust", Kelsey quipped.
Joel waved his fork. "I think it was the Red Ranger. He wasn't with the others fighting down on Earth, but on the alien spaceship. He must have done something to defeat those guys."
"Do you think we'll be able to do it? Defeat the demons, I mean", Chad asked.
"I know you guys will. I have seen what you can do when you work together. I know you guys can do it", Nancy encouraged.
Carter wasn't the least bit relieved. "We had better. I have a feeling Mariner Bay won't be the only place in trouble if the demons get their way."
Carter's worry didn't dampened Kelsey's spirit. "Don't worry, we may not have been rangers long, but we're going strong."
Joel looked over and spotted Chad checking his cell phone yet again.
"Everything okay, Chad?", Joel asked.
Chad sighed and placed away his cell phone. "Yeah, it's nothing."
Dana, like the others, wasn't convinced. "Are you sure, Chad? If you have a problem, you can let us know. We're your friends and we'll do what we can to help."
"Really guys, it's okay, nothing a little time won't fix… hopefully", Chad added the last thought silently.
Dana relented, as did the others. "Alright, but you can always come to us if you have any problems, Chad."
Chad only nodded in response. It was true that he did have a problem, but it was a problem that he didn't think the others, or even Lightspeed itself, could help with. He didn't think at first that he would have this problem, but he was apparently wrong. Chad could only hope that after some time, things would change. Chad had made some great friends joining Lightspeed and Lightspeed needed him as well, but if things were going the way they were now… Chad didn't want to think about it. He didn't know how to choose. The only thing he could do right now was turn his attention back to the conversation that was going on between the other rangers and Nancy. Hopefully, things will turn out alright with some time.
Next time on PR Lightspeed Rescue: On and Off the Screen:
Looks like Joel pissed Dana off with his nonchalant attitude. Will this cause a problem with the rangers' teamwork or will the team only get stronger?
My Comments:
Whew, another chapter complete. I tried to flesh out this episode a bit more, but couldn't really think of anything else to add. I think that's probably because this was meant to be a filler episode, but I did manage to get it to a decent length though. As you can see the next chapter is planned to be an original chapter with no episode basis, so I hope that it will be more interesting. I feel like the chapters are starting to get a bit lazy, but then again, this episode didn't have much development in it although I did try to add some, especially at the end. Can anyone think of what problem Chad is having? Feel free to take a guess. I would love to hear what you guys come up with since I made it clear that Chad is having a problem he didn't expect to have. I'm not exactly sure when I will put up the next chapter so please bear with me, people. I already mentioned that this story was posted premature. I am going to be honest and say that I still have planning to do for this story, so once again, please bear with me. See you next time...
