Chapter 157 A Thanksgiving to Remember Part 4
Vivian begins to regret abandoning Ryan because she realizes that it's a very good possibility that neither she or Max will make it out alive. She begins to cry, but not wildly, no, she keeps it to herself. She holds the red dragon pendant close to her only to look at it once. Now, tears begin to hit the pendant as she says to Ryan even though she knows he can't hear her.. Her words come out in emotional pain.
Vivian-Ryan, my baby, my one and only child, my son. I am so sorry.. I love you so much. How could I have been such a horrible mother! Ryan I love you, my baby!
She says softly now.
Vivian-Please forgive me.
With those words, and the tears hitting the pendant, something magical happens. Vivian says very softly as a red gentle light fills the place.
Vivian-A warm, warm light.
Back at the weather station, Jeremy's computer begins to detect a massive amount of energy. He alerts everyone.
Jeremy-Hey I'm getting an energy reading off the charts! Literally.
The Rangers are fully powered up and ready.. The Red Ranger asks.
Red Ranger-Got the coordinates Jeremy?
Jeremy-Getting them now.
Lightwing says.
Lightwing-This massive energy isn't evil.. It's a light of pure goodness.
The Pink Ranger asks.
Pink Ranger-What could be happening Lightwing?
Lightwing-I think it's being transmitted from something.
Before Lightwing is able to say anything else, Jeremy's computer quickly produces the correct coordinates coming from the red energy light.. He tells the Rangers, and adds.
Jeremy-Be careful Rangers.
Lightwing-Jeremy is right. Even though the light is pure goodness, we still don't know exactly what it is. It could be extremely dangerous and alien.. So be extra careful.
The Red Ranger says.
Red Ranger-Don't worry Lightwing, we will.
The Rangers all stand side by side.. Red, Yellow, Pink, White, Black and Blue all begin to sparkle with star power, and now their bodies form into beams of light that streak upward towards the ceiling and disappear..
At the mall, well not exactly at the mall.. You see there is a sitting area outside and below the building and that's where, Todd, Kaitlynn, Amy and a mysterious person has stopped. Amy and Todd are still in the jeep, but Kaitlynn and the mysterious person are sitting on a nearby bench talking.
The mysterious person is male, he's 5'7, he has brown eyes, strawberry blonde hair, and a nice body build.. His name is Mike. And if you hadn't guessed it yet, he's the guy who has been talking to Kaitlynn for a long time. Right now he's wearing blue jeans, a white muscle tank top and black sneakers.
Kaitlynn says in a stuttering way.
Kaitlynn-Oh my god I can't believe this.. How in the world.. I mean.. how..
Mike interrupts.
Mike-Calm down babe. I'm sorry to surprise you like this but I just had to see you.
Kaitlynn-You didn't say anything. You didn't even tell me you were coming this early.
Mike-I know. And I'm sorry. I felt bad about last time. And thought I'd make it up to you by surprising you.
Kaitlynn-There's one thing I don't understand.
Mike-Yes?
Kaitlynn-How did you know Todd?
Mike-Actually I just met him.. I spent some time talking to him. I asked if he knew you and he told me yeah.
Kaitlynn-You met him at the computer café?
Mike-Yeah.
Kaitlynn-Oh I see.
Mike-I went there looking for you because you never actually gave me your address.
Kaitlynn-Well yeah because I thought it would be nice to meet each other at the place where we met so to speak.. Or began talking.
Mike nods.
Mike-I understand.
Kaitlynn-Okay just so I understand.. You went to the computer café looking for me.. You met Todd and asked him if he knew me.. After Todd told you he knew me, he went looking for me and found me at the library.
Mike-Exactly babe.
Kaitlynn-This is still a surprise.
Mike-That's what I intended it to be.
Kaitlynn-Yeah well you got your wish.
Mike-Are you upset?
Kaitlynn-No, just surprised like I said.
Mike tries to speak but stops when he notices six streaking beams of light fly through the sky.. He says.
Mike-Whoa! Look up there!
Kaitlynn looks up, she smiles and says.
Kaitlynn-Beautiful lights aren't they?
Mike-I guess.
They both look at each other again.
Kaitlynn-Huh?
Mike-I'm a guy. I don't go around thinking lights are beautiful.
Kaitlynn chuckles.. And Mike says.
Mike-Ah ha, I got you to laugh!
Kaitlynn chuckles again.
Kaitlynn-Yeah, yeah.
She looks up at the streaking beams which are almost out of sight and says to herself.
Kaitlynn-Good luck Rangers, wherever you're going.
The bright red light within the caverns becomes sensed by the Grand Master.. She growls and disappears from her skull throne.
The people within the cavern of the red light all start to feel calm and gentle. That is till the light stops due to an angry blast of energy from the Grand Master..
Vivian falls to the ground but she doesn't let go of the dragon pendant.. Max rushes out of the plane and to his wife's aid.. Sinistar says.
Grand Master Sinistar-HUMANS! YOU DARE DEFY MY FAIRNESS BY CONJURING THE POWER OF THE RED STARLIGHT! NOW, YOU ALL SHALL DIE!
Max takes a hold of Vivian who says in a scared tone.
Vivian-Max I'm scared. Hold me, don't let me go.
Max responds.
Max-Don't worry honey I won't let you go.. Not ever.
The Grand Master laughs harder than she ever has before.. She then says after she stops laughing a bit.
Grand Master Sinistar-How predictable! You humans let emotions rule your destinies which is the downfall of your entire species! Hahahaha!
No one says anything.. The Grand Master goes on.
Grand Master Sinistar-No more fooling around, I tire of this game! The end of your worthless lives is now!
She materializes two power spheres which encase both of her hands.. As she raises her hands they both power up even more as she says.
Grand Master Sinistar-Your deaths will prove to be more worthy to me than your lives! Say goodbye!
She points her hands at Max, Vivian and the people in the plane.. And quickly she releases an extraordinary amount of dark power.. But its all cut short due to the six streaking beams of light entering the caverns and forming into a star protective force field. The Grand Master growls as she see's the beams of light transforming into the Power Rangers. She says with great exaggeration.
Grand Master Sinistar-Rangers.. How nice to see you!
The Red Ranger steps forward and says.
Red Ranger-Sinistar! You're done for!
Grand Master Sinistar-Oh, you really think so? Well as you told me and my followers before.. Stop singing the same song, it'll get you no where! Hahaha! Because I am not going anywhere Ranger..
Vivian says weakly.
Vivian-Power Rangers?
Max responds.
Max-Yes, the Power Rangers are here.
The Power Rangers turn around but the Grand Master stops them from going over to the people by saying.
Grand Master Sinistar-Try to rescue those humans and I will melt their bodies with just a flash of power!
The Red Ranger notices Vivian and Max.. He's going to call them Mom and Dad when he realizes he can't.. His heart begins to fill with absolute terror because he's very concerned, even more so now that he see's his parents in the power jaws of the darkest being, Sinistar.
The Red Ranger slowly turns around and says seriously to Sinistar.
Red Ranger-I have had it with you.. This time you've gone too far!
He starts running at the Grand Master as he produces his triple blade saber.. The Grand Master says nothing.. She just chuckles at the moment the Red Ranger leaps up into the air and attempts to strike her with his saber..
The other Rangers hurry to the people to see if they're alright.. The Yellow Ranger helps Max and Vivian as the others rush into the plane.. Vivian says weakly.
Vivian-Rangers, you're real.. You're real..
The Yellow Ranger responds sympathetically because she see's and understands the condition Vivian is in.
Yellow Ranger-Yes. Now come on, we're getting you out of here.
The Red Ranger's triple blade saber is caught in Sinistar's hands.. She slings him to the ground which causes his back to hit the floor painfully.
Red Ranger-UGHH!
But he's not out.. He gets right back up to face his deadliest enemy.
Grand Master Sinistar-You think you can stop me!? Haven't you learned anything Red Ranger?!
Red Ranger-Yeah, and that's it doesn't pay to give up, especially when something like you won't stop trying to hurt us all!
Grand Master Sinistar-You bore me!
She makes a fist then opens it which causes a high dark force to arise and blow the Red Ranger away from her.. When he hit's the other side of the wall it becomes a web as the evil master says.
Grand Master Sinistar-PETUNIA, ITS DINNER TIME!
Petunia doesn't waste any time.. She appears quickly and extremely hungry, in fact she's so hungry her fangs start to produce globs of mucous.. He says frightfully.
Red Ranger-Oh man, what a way to go! Eaten by a giant black widow spider!
Grand Master Sinistar turns to see the Yellow Ranger coming out of the plane after she put Vivian and Max inside with the others.. She says in a rage of fury.
Grand Master Sinistar-NO, NOT THIS TIME!
With a heavy amount of power, the evil master is able to blast the plane which causes it to evaporate, but leaves the people. They are all laying on the ground, even the other Rangers. Sinistar in a very serious tone.
Grand Master Sinistar-The Red Dragon starlight pendant will be mine!
Vivian hears this and says not so weak like now.
Vivian-No.. It belongs to my son.. It's his present to let him know how sorry I am and my husband are for abandoning him like we did.
The Red Ranger hears this and tears start to flow from his eyes, but he stops them when he realizes he has to get out of the web quickly before Petunia devours him. He looks deep into his heart and soul and says to himself.
Red Ranger-I conjure up the storm of fire.. Fire storm, I command you, now!
His body becomes aflame which startles Petunia.. She screams out in pain after getting burned a bit by the flames which have now destroyed the web.. The Red Ranger lands on his feet gently.. Sinistar turns to face him.
Grand Master Sinistar-You!
The flames die down and the Red Ranger looks at Sinistar with great emotion.
Red Ranger-I don't know what you're up to now Sinistar, but you're not going to hurt these people! And you're not especially going to hurt my parents!
The Yellow Ranger gasps, and so do the other Rangers.. They all get up and regroup.. Sinistar says.
Grand Master Sinistar-Your parents? Could they be the ones holding the pendant..
She chuckles.
Grand Master Sinistar-Of course they are.. What luck!
She turns back around and without delay, zaps both Vivian and Max with horrid amounts of dark power.. The two scream out in excruciating pain.. The Red Ranger screams out and rushes towards Sinistar again.. This time when he uses his weapon he makes a direct hit.
Everything stops, as if all time went on a break.
The Red Ranger has struck the Grand Master in her skull.. The break through marks start to pulsate, she screams out in agonizing screams..
Grand Master Sinistar-AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
The pulsating power erupts through and causes the backside of her skull to burst open tremendously..
Her screams turn demonic as her body begins to glow horridly. She falls to her knees and screams out even more..
Grand Master Sinistar-AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The Red Ranger rushes away and to his parents.. He leans down on bended knee and says to them.
Red Ranger-Mom, Dad, its me.. Ryan.
Vivian gasps and so does Max even though it seems like they're dying because of the blast Sinistar gave them. Vivian says really weak like now.
Vivian-My baby.. Please forgive me.. Forgive us.
The Red Ranger's emotions break free and his helmet feels the wetness of his tears, he senses his parents are dying.
Red Ranger-Mom, Dad I forgive you both, please don't leave me again.
The Yellow Ranger rushes to the Red Ranger's side.. She tries to comfort him but there's little she can do as his parents slowly drift away. Max says in a weakened tone.
Max-Ryan, my son. I'm very proud of you.. To.. Be.. Ugh..
Red Ranger-No, PLEASE, don't leave me again!
Vivian adds.
Vivian-I now know what.. Ugh! The Chinese merchant meant.. Ugh! When.. He gave me.. Ugh! The pendant..
The Red Ranger asks frantically.
Red Ranger-What, what?
Vivian-He said.. To take.. The red dragon.. Pendant and it will.. Show us the light.. Ugh! Of what's truly important in our lives.. Ugh! And it's you, son.
Red Ranger-Mom, please don't go! You're strong. You know you are, you can't leave.. Dad, you can't leave either, please, you two, hold on!
Max says very weak like now.
Max-Son, we love you very much.. Please.. don't forget that.. Ugh!
Red Ranger-Please, hold on!
Nothing but more worry fills the air as everything fades to black.
