Chapter 129 The Power of Love

Back at Terra Falls General, the main hospital in the city..

In Ryan's room where's he totally unconscious and appearing to being manipulated by Queen Minerva's power.. Nakia is still trying to shield his body from the growing red beam. The shaking of the room is still going on so Zelda and Kimberly end up on the floor.. Although their attempts to get back on their feet are continuous, the shaking sends them right back on the floor.

Within the command center of evil's base.. Queen Minerva smiles at what she sees in her crystal ball.. She speaks strongly to her court of evil.

Queen Minerva-The power I have sent to the Red Ranger will empower the one source I gave him in the form of a pill. Once the source has been empowered, it will turn his body into an empty shell. Then he will become a host for collected energy! And the first victims shall be the Yellow, Pink and White Rangers! Hahaha!

The evil court claps in admiration. The evil Queen halts them immediately.

Back at the hospital.. No one on the outside of Ryan's room knows what's going on in his room because they were never meant to know.. That is unless one of them opens the door.

Nakia screams out again and tries to save her man, she starts to cry on his body, making the tears of her love for him drop upon his soul, but the power taking over him proves to be much stronger, it flashes upon her body and flings her up against the left side of the wall.. She crashes and falls to the floor flat on her face..

Nakia-UUUGHH!

The shaking stops, the red beam vanishes. Ryan is still unconscious to the outside world. But, inside there is a tiny red light that's still burning inside of him. A light that needs a caring doorway to open.

Nakia gets up, she helps Zelda and Kimberly back up as well. They look at Ryan.. Nakia moves closer to him, she takes a hold of his hand and starts to slowly weep again because his body is looking worse now. She calls out his name but gets no response. Yet again, she calls out his name, and again no response. She feels his life force is slowly slipping away. Her weeping gets the best of her, she can't control it anymore. She lets it out in a howling vortex of pure fury.

When more of Nakia's tears drop on Ryan's body, they cause a slight reaction. Zelda and Kimberly notice. They calm Nakia down and direct her attention to the glowing opening upon Ryan's chest. Nakia gasps.

Nakia-What's happening?

Nakia doesn't know it yet, but her tears have touched the soul of Ryan.. Her tears also have opened up the caring doorway he so badly needed.. And with the phase complete unwittingly, it is now up to the one he loves to bring him out of his predicament before its too late and he wastes away to nothing.

I must also add something else.. The power from Nakia's tears have stopped the power of Queen Minerva's evil. Yes, the evil power has been diminished..

The glowing upon Ryan's chest expands itself.. Then a voice is heard.. A gentle kind voice.. A voice from the heavens.

Heavenly Voice-Nakia.. Yellow Ranger.. You have opened the doorway.. Touch the chest of the man you so greatly love and guide him back to you.

Nakia does as she's told.. Zelda and Kimberly watch with amazement.. They see Nakia touch the glowing power on Ryan's chest and cause a blinding chain reaction. When the blinding reaction proves to be gone.. Nakia is the only one seen in a dark void.. She looks around and asks in an unknowingly echoing tone.

Nakia-Where am I? What's going on?

The voice returns.

Heavenly Voice-You are within the dark pits of your love's depression. Although his doubting himself has caused this, the evil power magnified its effects. You must find his soul and guide him back before its too late. But be warned the dark pits are vast.

Nakia-Where is he?

Heavenly Voice-Follow your heart to the red light. For only your heart is a true guide..

Nakia-Okay, that's just what I'll do.

Heavenly Voice-Hurry Yellow Ranger, before its too late.

Nakia-I'm going to get Ryan back.. No doubt about it.

The heavenly voice diminishes and Nakia goes about her way. She walks through the dark void looking for Ryan, when she finds no sign of the red light after about an hour she gets tired and sighs.. Still she's very determined to find him. She says to herself.

Nakia-This dark place is so big. I have got to get Ryan..

She continues to walk..

Back in the hospital.. Zelda and Kimberly are wondering what happened to Nakia.. All they see is Ryan, still in his bed of course, but no sign of Nakia.. The room is back to normal as well. Zelda asks Kimberly.

Zelda-What do you think happened?

Kimberly-I don't know.

Zelda snaps her fingers after remembering something the voice said.

Zelda-The voice told her to guide him back. She's inside of his soul looking for him.

Kimberly-Whoa.. Totally creepy.

Zelda-Nakia is brave. And she deeply loves Ryan with all her heart and soul.

Kimberly-That's true.

Queen Minerva becomes angry and startled when she learns of the news..

Queen Minerva-I cannot believe this! I had a perfect plan and those Idiot Rangers messes it up like always!

Makozi appears floating behind the Queen's court.. She makes her way to the front so the Queen can see her. She says.

Makozi-My Queen. Might I suggest an attack on Terra Falls?

Queen Minerva looks sharply at Makozi which frightens her a bit..

Queen Minerva-Another useless attack!

Makozi-I'm sorry.. I only thought..

The Queen interrupts her..

Queen Minerva-Silence!

The Queen thinks of how Nakia feels about Ryan because its quite obvious, and this gives her an idea. She snaps her fingers and says.

Queen Minerva-Love is the key is it.. So be it.. Now let love be the humans undoing as well!

She points her hand towards a spot on the ground just a few feet away from her court.. A blasting red energy beam emerges and conjures up a creature that basically looks like a big red heart with a serious crack in the center and is female.. She has no eyes but can see through evil's power, and she has only two arms and two legs. The Queen retracts the red beam and presents the new creature.

Queen Minerva-Welcome, Heart broken!

Heart broken responds in wearily tone that's music to the Queen's ears.

Heart Broken-I am honored to serve you.

Queen Minerva-You have a job to do.. Get to the surface and bring back some energy!

Heart Broken-I won't disappoint you Queen Minerva.

Queen Minerva-I have no doubts.

The monster disappears and reappears upon the surface of Terra Falls..

Seconds later, Heart Broken finds a few people in the park area.. She raises her two arms and causes the center of her heart body to glow, suddenly the glow shoots out and strikes the people.. After it disappears, the people become frantic.. They start acting strange, and when I say strange, I mean there's a woman who starts to cry because she thinks her boyfriend is cheating on her, there's also a guy who thinks if he leaves to join the army his girlfriend will break his heart by finding another man, and there's more people acting totally heartbroken as well.. The monster, Heart Broken laughs with evil glee and says.

Heart Broken-Soon the heart broken energy will seep through the humans and come to me!

She laughs and disappears to attack more humans in the city.

At the old weather station, for once Jeremy isn't at his post so he can't hear his computer beeping an alert.. He's in the other back room with Chet and Joey eating some donuts and drinking tea.. They decided to go there to think of a way to help Ryan.. Also Jeremy made it known that he needed a break from sitting at the computer.

Back to Nakia in the seemingly endless dark voids of Ryan's depression. She's getting majorly tired.

Nakia-Ohh.. Ryan where.. Are you?

And you know she won't let herself being tired stop her from finding her man. She says with reassurance.

Nakia-I have to find you.. No matter what.

When all hope seems to be lost, a red glittering beam appears.. Nakia gasps when she notices the beam expanding to a humongous size that now makes it look like a huge red glow.. She says.

Nakia-Ryan! He has to be close!

She runs towards the large red glow only to find its pulling away from her.. Still, that doesn't stop her, she continues running.. She realizes the more she runs, the more the glow is pulling away from her.. She screams out.

Nakia-NO!

Back in Ryan's hospital room.. Zelda and Kimberly hear strange noises coming from outside, so they walk towards the window to match what they see with the strange noises.. They both gasp as soon as they spot Heart Broken flashing her power on people in the hospital's parking lot.

Backing away from the window now, Kimberly says.

Kimberly-Another monster..

Zelda-Our work is never done.

Kimberly-I just wonder why Jeremy didn't contact us.

Zelda-No time to wonder about that now. We have work to do. I'm sure the others will show up soon.

Kimberly-Right.

They both materialize their morphers.. Now swinging their right arms around once to bring it together, Zelda shouts out slightly.

Zelda-IT'S MORPHIN TIME!

A flashing light set off by their morphers takes us to an essence of the Universe.

Next, a large pink star appears twirling within the essence, when it stops, a breeze of powerful winds rip the star to pieces of pink energy that comes together and forms into the Pink Star Storm Power Ranger. She stands bravely as her suit glows and flashes with the color of pink. Now, leaping up and twisting her body around, when she lands she continues on by doing a couple of back flips. And when the final power phase is complete, she lands on her feet which sounds a screeching power wind and causes an image of the powerful elemental wind force to appear.

And last but not least, a large white star appears twirling within the essence, when it freezes, a high force of snow tears the star completely apart therefore the pieces form into white energy that comes together and transforms into the White Star Storm Power Ranger. She stands with determination as her body suit sets off a glow and flashes with the color of white. Now she end up leaping upward and twisting her body around, when she lands she continues on by doing back flips. Finally when her transformation phase is finished, she lands on her feet she sounds a snarling snow force and causes an image of a beautiful snow storm to appear.

Another flash takes us to where the monster is.. She has just finished with zapping another set of humans when the Pink Ranger and White Ranger flip into action.. Cannonball mode is the one they chose to present themselves.. Instead of immediately landing, the two Rangers come out of cannonball mode and extend both of their right legs out together.. The monster, Heartbroken turns around just in time to get a double kick to its body.. The force of the kick causes the monster to be flung away slightly in the air.. She lands with a hard crash.

The Pink Ranger and White Ranger land on their feet.. They then try to help the people but they seem disoriented.. And you know why.. The Rangers become confused when the people start talking incoherently about their relationships and worrying that something will mess it all up. Seconds later, after the people expend so much energy on their obvious broken hearts, they collapse..

Heart Broken returns to collect the energy.. The White Ranger gasps and rushes towards the monster with her snow staff, as soon as she gets close enough for a direct hit, she tries it, but Heart Broken takes a hold of the staff and pushes the White Ranger away with tremendous force..

The Pink Ranger catches the White Ranger by her shoulders to prevent her from crashing.. When she lets go, the White Ranger says.

White Ranger-Thanks.

Pink Ranger-No problem.

The two Power Rangers stand side by side now.. And directing their comments at Heart Broken.

Pink Ranger-We suggest you get out of here now!

White Ranger-Yeah while you're still in one piece!

Heart Broken laughs and responds.

Heart Broken-You two Rangers aren't even enough to make idle threats!

Both Rangers become insulted.

Heart Broken-Here let me help you two have broken hearts!

Heart Broken attempts to flash her power upon both Rangers, but luckily their speed and agility quickly gets them out of the way. When the beam flashes upon the spot where the Rangers stood, it slightly cracks the spot.

Back to Nakia.. She's continuously trying to reach the red glow.. But her efforts aren't enough. She has no choice but to stop running for the moment.. And when she does stop running she notices the glow fading.. She screams out.

Nakia-NO! NO!

She starts running again only to yet again find the red glow to be pulling away from her.

Back to the fight.. The Pink and White Rangers charge at Heart Broken.. The White Ranger makes a fist with her right gloved hand, she tries to punch Heart Broken, but the monster catches her fist and slings her to the ground.

White Ranger-UGHH!

The Pink Ranger tries to strike Heart Broken now, but is knocked away with a fierce swiping strike. She ends up in a twirl around crash and hit's the ground.

Pink Ranger-UNNNHH!

She catches her breath and says.

Pink Ranger-Got to call for help!

She activates her communicator..

The receiving stress call beeping is heard on Chet's communicator in the back room.. He takes another sip of tea and answers.

Chet-Chet here.

The Pink Ranger says in pain.

Pink Ranger-Chet! Ughh! We need your help at the hospital.. There's a monster attacking!

Chet exclaims and so do Jeremy and Joey.. Immediately they put down the donuts and tea.. Chet says to the Pink Ranger.

Chet-Don't worry babe we're on our way.

Pink Ranger-Hurry! This monster's tough.

Chet turns off his communicator. Jeremy returns to his post.. Now, both Chet and Joey stand up and materialize their morphers to bring on a flashing light.. After Chet and Joey morph, they flip into action to help out their friends who aren't doing so well. They end up being knocked away several times.. And when the monster threatens to use her power again, they both back up against each other to come up with a quick plan. An idea sparkles in their minds.. They say one by one with force.

Pink Ranger-Wind!

White Ranger-Snow!

Pink Ranger-That's it!

White Ranger-Yeah. I understand..

Pink Ranger-So let's do it!

White Ranger-Right on partner!

Standing back to back, both Rangers say one by one..

Pink Ranger-PINK WIND POWER!

White-WHITE SNOW POWER!

Their body suits start to glow pink and white.. Soon the glowing causes their bodies to spin around constantly with great speed.

Heart Broken watches as both of the glowing spinning Power Rangers go into the sky and cause a heavy flash when their voices are heard.

Pink Ranger and White Ranger-BLIZZARD POWER!

The flash takes Heart Broken to an essence of fierce power.. And that fierce power is a mighty blizzard.. It attacks her with sheer ferociousness.. Snow being guided with the help of the mighty wind.. Beating upon her monstrous body without mercy. She screams out in agony because the blizzard is stinging her with a vengeance. When its over.. The essence disappears, and the two Rangers return to the ground.. They spin no more.. The monster Heart Broken, however is seen on the ground.. Her body is sizzling with cracking power..

Heart Broken-UUUGGHHHH!

The Black and Blue Rangers congratulate the Pink and White Rangers.. The Black Ranger says.

Black Ranger-Well looks like you didn't need our help after all this time.

The sizzling effects of the blizzard stops and so Heart Broken gets back on her feet.. She looks at the Rangers and says..

Heart Broken-You Rangers are so bothering me! I'm going to finish you now!

The Rangers stand their ground.. The Blue Ranger says.

Blue Ranger-Haven't you had enough?!

Heart Broken-I won't be satisfied till you're destroyed!

Black Ranger-Sounds like a personal problem to me.

The attack begins..

Nakia is still running towards the large red glow.. She stops, and when she does, it begins to fade again.. She screams out in complete anger..

Nakia-NO, STOP IT! YOU CAN'T GO! PLEASE! RYAN I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART! I'LL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU.. YOU'RE VERY SPECIAL TO ME! I CAN'T IMAGINE MYSELF WITH ANY OTHER GUY! RYAN PLEASE, LISTEN TO ME, I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU, I'M HERE FOR YOU, NOW AND FOREVER! I DON'T CARE WHAT PROBLEMS WE HAVE I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU THROUGH THICK AND THIN! PLEASE BELIEVE ME! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

With those words spoken, the large glow stops fading.. Nakia looks directly at it and sees a small light come out of the red glow.. The small light wraps itself around her and moves her upward into the void that is turning from black to brightly lit.

Seconds later flashing power brings Nakia back to Ryan's hospital room.. She falls on the floor.. And when she gets up she immediately rushes back to Ryan's bed where now he's looking much better. He even wakes up.. He smiles at her and she smiles at him.. She then leans down to give him a kiss. He says after she breaks away from him.

Ryan-Thank you babe.. I love you.

Nakia-I love you too.

Nakia's communicator starts to beep.. She answers it after she goes over to the window.

Nakia-Yeah?

Jeremy responds.

Jeremy-Hey.

Nakia looks out of the window and sees her friends finishing off Heart Broken.. She says to Jeremy now.

Nakia-You're calling about a monster that was just destroyed, right?

Jeremy-Uh.. I didn't know that it was..

She interrupts him.

Nakia-Don't worry. It just happened. By the way Ryan's okay now.

Jeremy-That's wonderful news. I'm glad to hear it.

Nakia-I'm going to spend some more time with him..

Jeremy-Allright.. Jeremy out.

Nakia turns off her communicator.

Hours pass and so Zelda, Kimberly, Chet and Joey show up to see Ryan in the hospital, when they get to his room, they find Nakia laying next to him in the same bed.. She looks up at them and smiles.

Nakia-Hey guys, I saw what you did earlier.. What took you so long to get here?

Zelda-There were people around the city we had to help.

Nakia-Oh.

Ryan looks at his friends and speaks out.

Ryan-I want to apologize to everyone.. Especially you Nakia for the way I acted.

Nakia asks herself.

Nakia-Hmm I wonder who's voice I heard..

Everyone forgives him. And so they spend more time with him till its time for him to leave the hospital.. But he won't be discharged until he's checked over by a doctor.
