Abby Holloway Series

Operation Overdrive: Back to Action

By xXxKaraBeckerCutterxXx

Author's Note: I'm back. Quicker than expected, but I can honestly say that this story will not be updated as quickly as the others. The last two episodes of Mystic Force seemed to come out better as I took more time to plan them, as opposed to rushing them to update.

Disclaimer: No copyright infringement intended in the making of this series. All I own is my OCs and anything unrecognizable. Everything else belongs to its respective seasons and in turn they all belong to Disney.

Dedications: To everyone who has supported Abby in her adventures?

Summary: It's been six months since Mystic Force, and Abby is back home in Briarwood. But when she receives a gold box she finds herself being recruited to join Operation Overdrive to search and protect the jewels of a powerful crown: the Corona Aurora.


A young man, around the ages of 19 -give or take- was lying in a hammock, with a book open and resting aimlessly on his stomach. He was kicking around slightly as he dreamed of what was probably another adventure, suddenly tilting to the side he fell from the hammock and landed face first in the freshly cut green crash beneath him, the book sliding a few feet away from where he had landed.

Another man, this time an older gentleman wearing a suit and carrying a tray with a glass of cool looking lemonade approached from the gorgeous white mansion on the opposite side of the lawn "The Baron's Betrayal" he said with an English accent "A classic up there with Dickens himself, no doubt. Lemonade?" he asked, offering the glass to the young lad.

"You lowered the hammock again, didn't you?" the young lad, Mack, frowned picking himself up from the ground and dusting off his jeans

"Well, I thought it best, sir" the Butler answered "It's your third fall this month. Reading adventure books seems to be a dangerous endeavor for you"

Mack who had just taken a mouthful of lemonade made a face, before spitting it back out.

"You'd prefer it sweetened, sir?" the Butler asked

"I would" Mack answered, his voice hoarse "Spencer, any word from Dad? Why can't I ever go with him on any of his archeological adventures?"

"Perhaps when you've mastered the hammock, sir" Spencer suggested

"Ha-ha!" Mack laughed mockingly "Very funny. I'd give anything to be with him on his adventure right now. Digging through ruins looking for the crown of the gods...Corona Aurora..."

Spencer laughed "Ah yes, the Corona Aurora" he repeated sarcasm dripping from his tone "Your father's spent ten years and twice the net worth of New Mexico looking for something that quite frankly - doesn't exist"

xXx

Six months later, Abby was jumping the last three steps of the stairs of her home in Briarwood. She had only a week ago returned from New Orleans where she had completed her final race for Factory Blue. At first she was only supposed to ride with them for six weeks, but after her performances on the track Roger Hannah had decided to keep her on as long as he could, which was why six months later she had still been riding for them. But that was over now and she was free to do what she pleased.

Scurrying across the room, the young female slid across the panel flooring and came to a halt in front of her fridge "and she sticks the landing!" she grinned, punching the air before opening the door and removing a carton of orange juice. She poured herself half a glass put the carton back in the fridge and turned to grab the mail that Britney had brought in as she left earlier that morning.

However, a small puzzled look crossed her features as on top of her mail sat a small gold and silver box. Clicking it open Abby almost dropped the box in surprise as a holographic image of a middle-aged man appeared in her hand.

"Hello, Abby, I've heard about your history and I could use your help. I'm Andrew Hartford"

xXx

Removing her helmet Abby felt her jaw hit the floor as she gazed up at the white building in front of her, it was nestled in patches of trees on one side of a lake which was dotted with ducks and/or swans. The house itself was decorated with pillars and balconies, and a wide set of steps leading up the entrance, and in front of a white marble classical statue of a woman holding a basket.

This cannot be the right place Abby through, as she removed her helmet and approached the front door. She raised her hand to knock, but before she could the door opened and an older gentleman in a fine looking suit answered "Huh...hello" she smiled "I'm Abby Holloway. I had a message to meet a Mr. Andrew Hartford"

"Ah yes," the older gentleman nodded "You are the last to arrive. Come in" he smiled, stepping aside and allowing her entry "Everyone else is waiting for you, right through here" he motioned to the door ahead and to her left "Mr. Hartford will be along shortly"

Abby nodded and watched as he disappeared down the hallway, before she shook her head and stepped into what she could only guess was the 'Game' room. She only called it this because from the moment she stepped through the door, all she could see was games, a pool table was situated in the middle of the room and various other gaming activities were also present. Aside from these though Abby could also see a terrarium, a telescope, a diving suit and an open casket with a mummy leaning against the wall on the opposite side of the room.

Those already present within the room looked up as Abby opened the door and entered "Hi," she smiled, carrying her motocross helmet under her arm and removing her gloves "I'm Abby"

"I'm Ronny" a female with long dark blonde hair introduced "Ronny Robinson"

"Wait a minute, I know you" Abby smiled "You just one your seventh race and the grand championship in Italy, right?"

Ronny nodded "Yeah." she grinned

Abby nodded as she smiled "Congratulations on another win, you were really ripping it"

"Thanks" Ronny smiled, a clear friendship already forming between her and the new comer. By the looks of the way the last female was dressed, Ronny could make out that she was a racer herself, but before she could ask any more questions the other girl -Rose- spoke

"Anyone have a clue why we're here?" Rose asked, to Abby she looked no older than twenty, and

Ronny shook her head "Nope. Got an invitation, so I showed up" she answered

"Same" Abby nodded

"This Hartford guy must be some wacky zillionaire" and African American man smiled. His name was Will, and from the moment she had walked into the room, Abby could sense he wasn't a team-player "he had me break into his own bank in Brazil" he grinned

Abby rolled her eyes and turned to the still open doors behind her as another kid walked in. He looked no older than nineteen, and was carrying a book in his hands "Hey guys!" he greeted "What's going on?"

"Join the party. We got a message from that Hartford guy, just like you" Ronny told him

"Message?" Mack asked "What message?"

However, before anyone could answer him, Andrew Hartford and Spencer walked into the room through another doorway that was adjoining to the room his guests were in. "Welcome, everyone"

"What's going on, Dad?" Mack asked

Spotting his son, Andrew approached his son and gently started to hustle him from the room "Um, we're having an important meeting, Mack. Can we talk later?" he asked

"But Dd...What? What are these people...?"

But his father cut him off as he pushed him from the room, and slammed the door shut. Abby frowned at the notion and exchanged looks with those in the room behind her; in her opinion that was strange, and it seemed the others shared her judgment.

"I'm Andrew Hartford," he introduced himself "I'm glad you all decided to accept my invitation. Before we get started, can I interest anyone in some lemonade? Spencer?"

"Oh thank you, sir, but I'm quite fine" Spencer answered

Abby bit her lower lip to keep from laughing out loud, she hadn't been properly introduced to Spencer and she could tell already that she was going to like him.

"For them, Spencer" Andrew imposed on his Butler

"Oh," Spencer nodded, before leaving to get a pitcher of Lemonade

"I'm sure you have many questions," Andrew spoke once more, drawing everyone's attention back onto him "and I promise you I will answer every one. But first - I need your help. Because without you - without your talents, with your intelligence - our world, our universe - is going to be destroyed"

Abby scoffed "I've heard that one before" she said

"I want to show you something," Andrew replied, pulling out a tape and putting it into his VCR.

Ronny and Abby exchanged looks, VCR? Seriously, it was the 21st century nothing was on VCR anymore, everything had gone digital now.

A ball of flames blasted from the sky and fell into a city street. The flames turned into a freaky mutant and several similar red creatures.

"Lava Lizards, attack!" the freaky mutant ordered his minions before they started attacking everything in sight and within reach

Switching off the TV, Andrew turned to the group in front of him "That was three days ago," he told them "Evil has arrived on Earth"

"And all of this - um, supposedly - because you found some crown?" Ronny asked

"Not just a crown," Andrew corrected her "Corona Aurora, which according to legend has power not just over the planet - but the universe. Millennia ago, in a galaxy on the other side of the universe, there were two brothers. Moltor..."

Rose gasped as she interrupted "Moltor and Flurious! Who tried to steal the Corona Aurora! They tried to steal the Corona Aurora! But the crown was so powerful it cursed them, changed their appearance and sent them off to distant planets. Imprisoning them in their own elements" she smiled to herself, only for it to fall as the others offered her strange looks "What? I took a year in ancient universal legends at Harvard!" she explained "But anyways, it's just a myth!"

"There's more. In order to stop anyone from getting the power again, a guardian took the five jewels from the crown, and scattered them on a distant uninhabited planet" Andrew continued "That planet, those many millennia ago, was Earth!"

"Uh-huh..." Abby nodded "To be very honest with you Mr. Hartford, I've seen some freaky things in my line of work, but this...yeah, this doesn't qualify as half of what I've seen." she explained "Besides, I would have known if something as powerful as the Corona Aurora existed" she smiled sympathetically at the man in front of her

Looking slightly alarmed, Andrew bent down to the ventilation shaft behind him "Spencer!" he shouted

Spencer, Spencer...his voice echoed, as Abby giggled and started clapping her hands like an over-excited two year old

"I wanna try!" she grinned

"Coming, sir!" Spencer shouted back

Casting an apologetic look at his guests, Andrew continued his tale "I accidentally freed Moltor and Flurious from their imprisonment. Now, thanks to me, they and who knows how many other power-crazed beasts are here or soon will be - looking for the crown"

The young adults exchanged unbelieving looks, causing Andrew to make a mad dash for the wall and swinging a picture out to reveal a safe behind it.

"Gee, it's getting late, and I'm sure there's an engine overhaul waiting for me" Ronny said, edging backwards out of the room "I'm going to go"

Removing a crown from the safe, Andrew turned back to them "Wait!" he called "Everything I told you is true!" he said "I need your help! We need to protect this from falling into the wrong hands!"

"You're rich, by an army," Rose suggested

"An army can't stop them!" Andrew frowned "You can! The five of you have the physical and mental qualities needed, and I have the technology and the money to fight this evil. I can turn you into Power Rangers."

Dax grinned "Power Rangers! Yes!"

"Personally, I don't work well with teammates." Will said, after a long while of saying nothing "No offense, guys. Good luck with your -um... Well, just good luck" and he pushed off the pillar he had been leaning against and started to walk away.

The others followed him

"Bye" Rose waved

"Yeah. Thanks" Dax nodded

Panic-struck Andrew turned to his Butler "Spencer! Do something!"

"I will show them out, sir" Spencer answered

"No, no, stop them!"

"Sir, even you cannot make people do what they do not want to do"

Reaching for the door, Will stumbled back into Dax and Ronny as a burst of light sparked to life in front of them.

"He spoke the truth," the light said, as he transformed into a vague form "the fate of the planet, your universe, rests in your hands. I am too weak to go after it myself. Without your help, there will be no more" he cast a look around at the rangers, before resting on Abby "Ah, young guardian, you of all people know of the dangers...you of all people cannot walk away from all this"

The others within the group frowned and turned their attention to Abby who lowered her gaze to avoid eye contact "Why do I get the feeling that I will not be seeing Nick tonight?" she asked herself, looking up as the Sentinel Knight disappeared.

"What was that all about?" Ronny asked, turning to Abby "What did he mean?"

Abby sighed "It's real" she answered "All of it. The monsters. The danger. The Knight...and the Power Ranger deal..."

"How can you be so sure?" Will asked "How do we know you're not in on this joke"

"Because it's not a joke," Abby answered, as she pulled back her sleeve to reveal her Ninja morpher.

Silence followed her confession, as her soon-to-be-new-teammates stared at her dumbfounded.

xXx

"Whoa, trippy" Abby giggled as she bounced out of the elevator and into the underground command centre of Hartford manor "Although this isn't exactly my first time in an underground command centre, this is way advanced to what I am used too...my last command centre, was a tree!" she exclaimed "Can you believe it? A tree! With computers and other electronic things, although we kept an eye on the city through a Crystal ball most of the time"

Rose frowned "That's impossible!" she pointed out "how can you have computers in a tree?"

"Magic" Abby answered

"There is no such thing as magic!" Will retorted

Abby glowered "No?" she asked "You positive about that?"

"Yes!" Will nodded

With a smirk Abby waved her hand over Will and muttered "Corum Oviat Ditrum!" there was a split second pause, and the next thing the new team of rangers knew their Black ranger was on all fours on the floor, however, he wasn't himself and was covered in a thick woolen overcoat of cotton and making sheep noises at random intervals. The others jumped back, as Abby waved her hand and uttered the reversal spell "Morfay Mammun!" she said, as Will reverted back to his human form "You were saying?" she challenged

"Nothing," Will muttered, getting to his feet and brushing off his new uniform

"So you have magic," Rose said, still a little in disbelief at what she had just witnessed, never once in her twenty years of living did she believe that something as mythical as Magic existed

Abby nodded "Yes. And I can also teleport, control the elements of snow and earth, I have visions and I also have another power that I inherit from my parents that I haven't unlocked yet" she admitted

"Maybe we can unlock it with this," Spencer said, having finished setting up his machine with the new team had been getting to know one another. He ushered them onto five different podiums as sparkly lights move over them as they stood between two glowing poles.

"Team! Thank-you for accepting my offer." Andrew smiled "The uniforms look good on you. Now as we speak, your bodies' physical and mental capabilities are being enhanced by a DNA resequencer, a Hartford Industries design. As your body adapts you will soon be able to do things, and know things, that only moments ago you thought impossible"

"Are you going to turn into a weird fly or something?" Dax asked

Andrew Hartford chuckled "Not a chance. This is totally harmless. But you are now stronger, and smarter, than when you first arrived"

"Are you saying we were dumb when we first entered your home?" Abby asked "Because if you are, I'll be complied to tell you that I'm a Stanford undergraduate"

Hartford smiled "No, Abigail, I was not saying -"

"Don't call me Abigail" Abby interrupted "The name is Abby. A-B-B-Y. Four letters. That's it. Get it?"

"Got it" Andrew nodded

Abby smiled "Good. Proceed" she added

The others frowned "Are you okay?" Ronny asked, questionably

"I'm perfectly fine" Abby smiled "I have ADHD, but you'll get used to it"

"Great," Will muttered, but Abby heard him

"Do not make me regret having you as a team-mate, William!" Abby retorted, earning a dark glare from the new black ranger.

"Whatever you say, Abigail!" Will retorted

Abby returned his glare with a fierce one of her own.

Andrew and Spencer exchanged looks...this year was starting out brilliantly.

"Welcome to your new base!" Andrew spoke, interrupting the glaring competition going on between his White and Black rangers "One thing you should know about me is that I would never ask you to do anything that I wouldn't do myself"

"I didn't see you getting your genes scrambled" Ronny muttered

Andrew smiled "I'm about to join you right now" he said "I will be the sixth team member. The Red Power Ranger" he hurried around his rangers, to take his place between the glowing poles "Spencer"

Spencer nodded "Sir"

But before he can start up the machine for the second time, the elevator doors slide open and Mack stepped out "Dad?" he asked, looking around in amazement

"Mack! You need to go home" Andrew responded

"I am home." Mack responded "Technically several hundred feet below my home. What is this place?"

"I'll explain it all to you later" Andrew said, leading his son from the vicinity.

Abby frowned as she watched them "Um...anyone else feel like taking a breather?" she asked, heading for the stairs

"Yeah" Rose and Ronny agreed following the White ranger, Dax and Will on their heels.

xXx

"Do you guys feel resequenced yet?" Dax asked, as he hopped up onto the marble pillar in the grounds of Hartford Manor "I just feel kinda itchy, maybe I got resequenced with a flea or something?"

Abby shook her head as she walked ahead of the group

"Maybe you've seen too many movies," Ronny said, turning to the blue ranger over her shoulder

Will, who is walking just behind Abby, quickly caught her arm and pulled her to a stop "Do you hear that?" he asked

"Dude, let go!" Abby hissed, tugging her hand free "Hear what?"

"So loud" Will murmured, looking up "and my eyesight...its telescopular" he grinned, walking forward "it's coming from over there" he lead the way onto the side lawn of the manor

Rose frowned as she followed "Telescopular? That's not a word"

"Maybe not, but that's what it is" Will answered "Like right now I see something moving in those bushes!"

And as if to prove him right, a gang of multicolored lizards appear in front of them. Falling into a defensive position Abby surveyed the new creatures, as they hissed threateningly at her and the others "Lava Lizards!" she grinned "This should be easy..." as if acting as her words were a trigger, the Lava Lizards attacked dividing the six rangers from one another.

Dax does several flips before he is knocked down, he then rolled back to his feet and kicks a lizard, but it grabs his foot and throws him through the air. Ronny, meanwhile is grabbed and thrown down where three more lizards attack her, but she does a backflip to escape and crashes into a planter. Rose manages a couple of good kids but two lizards hold her arms while a third kicks her down hard. Will rolls over a tree branch and gets in a kick of two from the ground, but is also thrown through the air, while Abby manages to hold her own, before she is overpowered by the heat the lava lizards are emitting.

Soon all five are lying on the grass, looking up they find themselves surrounded by a horde of the Lava Lizards.

"I take back what I said," Abby complained "This is anything but easy!"

Ronny shook her head "Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going to sit here and be lizard food" she flew to her feet and in a burst of coloured lights she's gone, running at super speed and knocking out as many lava lizards in the process.

"Ronny!" Dax exclaimed "How'd you do that? You were a blur!"

Ronny appeared beside the team and grins in amazement "I don't know! But I'm guessing my genes just resequenced! Look out, Dax!"

A lizard had attempted to sneak up on Dax from behind. Spinning around, Dax jumped in alarm and leaps at least several yards straight up. He lands behind two lava lizards and jumps forwards, giving them a flying kick.

"Nice! My legs are like springs!" he grinned excitedly

"You know?" Rose asked, as she fought back-to-back with Abby "this might be fun after all" she glanced at her hands "What's my power?"

Two lizards advance on her menacingly, as Abby pushes off of her to deal with her own horde of Lava Lizards.

"What's my power?" the Pink ranger asked again, before looking at her hands "Cool! I'm invisible!"

She performs a flying backflip and knocks down the lizards before re-appearing as Abby stumbles into her from the side.

Abby glowered as she shook her hands which were supporting burn marks "Damn things are too hot!" she growled "They keep melting my ice power, and I can't get close enough to use my Earth power!"

"What's your new power?" Rose asked

"I dunno," Abby shrugged, before throwing up her hands as two Lava Lizards jumped forwards at her and Rose; as if someone had hit pause twice time started to slow down right before the White ranger's eyes as the Lava Lizards advanced towards her in exceedingly slow motion. With the Lava Lizards moving in slow motion, Abby used her Ninja streak to deal with them effectively before doubling back on herself as Spencer's voice reached her senses from across the lawn.

"You need to leave right away," Spencer urged them, as they joined him "You three," he nodded at Will, Abby and Ronny "you need to ride by yourselves. You'll find the vehicles in the garage. Rose, Dax, come with me"

Abby, Ronny and Will nodded as they run off towards the garage; exchanging grins as two motorcycles and an ATV was situated inside the garage.

"Dibs!" Abby declared, snagging one of the motorcycles "You can fight amongst yourselves on who rides what" she added to the two as she grabbed a helmet and some gloves, before jump starting the engine of her new Overdrive bike.

Once Ronny and Will had decided on who would get the motorcycle and who would get the ATV the three rangers moved out.

xXx

Revving the engine on her bike, Abby lead the way through a puddle of shallow water and then zoomed off down a muddy dirt road. Behind her came Will and Ronny and then behind them came Mack, Spencer, Hartford, Rose and Dax in the jeep. Leaning slightly forward on her bike, Abby pulled ahead of the others checking the area for anymore Lava Lizards, she had the experience on big bikes and knew that she could always turn around on the slightest whim and alert the others to danger much quicker than anyone else.

Spotting movement ahead of her the White ranger clutched the breaks on her bike and screeched to a halt just short of the newcomers; they weren't Lava Lizards she was sure of that, these things looked to made of solid ice "I think we're in trouble," Abby murmured, as Ronny and Will screeched to halts either side of her and the three of them removed their helmets

"The lizards are behind us," Will said, as soon as he was free of his helmet "Who are these guys?"

"I don't think they're the welcoming committee" Mack answered, as he arrived in the jeep with the others. Dax and Rose jumped from their sides and joined their new team-mates.

Grabbing a briefcase that lay just under his seat Andrew turned to his new rangers "We're going to the big time" he told them, revealing six blue, black and red devices with a gold-bordered silver wheel on one end and a gold wheel on the other "Guys, these are your Overdrive Trackers. These are what will morph you into Power Rangers"

"Activation code?" Abby asked

"Overdrive accelerate" Andrew answered "Let's do it!"

Abby nodded and turned to the rest of the newbie rangers "Follow my lead," she instructed them

With similar nods of determination, Dax, Ronny, Rose and Will followed Abby towards the now frozen lizards ahead them

"Dad, I want to help" Mack protested from the car

"Mack, I..." Andrew cut off

"I don't know about you guys," Will started "but we can't wait for Hartford."

Abby nodded in agreement "He's right. Let's Ranger up!"

The five of them held out their Trackers, and flipped them open like a cellphone. Pressing a medium-sized circular button above the keypad the five of them called out simultaneously "Overdrive, accelerate!" and running the wheels of their morphers down their own arms, they morphed instantly into their new Ranger uniforms.

"Yeah!" Dax exclaimed excitedly, as he stood beside his new friends in his Blue ranger uniform

"All right!" Ronny grinned, looking down at her new Yellow ranger uniform

"Cool!" Rose agreed her ranger uniform and colour was Pink.

Abby stepped forward as the frozen lizards ahead of them started forward "We can marvel at the brilliance of this whole deal later," she said over her shoulder, her new Uniform was different to the others; where the others supported their Ranger colors with white running down the middle of their uniform, her's was white with blue running down the middle of her uniform.

"Let's do it!" Rose nodded, and the rangers broke ranks to take on the Chillers.

Ducking under an attack, Abby grabbed the arms of the Chiller in front of her and kicked off from the ground "Time to go for a ride!" she said, Ninja streaking with the creature before depositing it off with its own kind.

Coming out of her streak Abby turned to the sound of Mack's voice and watched as he stood near the jeep, running down the sixth and last tracker down his arm as he called out:

"Overdrive, accelerate!"

In an instant the Red Overdrive ranger suit appears on his body, before he runs head long into battle.

"It's Mack!" Rose yelled, as she avoided a hit from the Chillers surrounding her

"Drive Lance!" Mack commanded, holding his hand out in front of him as a red and silver lance appeared directly in his grasp. He swung it around and then jumped into the air as the Chillers sent an icy blast at him. The blast missed its target and hit the hillside behind him causing it to explode.

Abby frowned "Now, that's plain weird" she commented, before avoiding a hit from the Chillers she had been fighting earlier.

"Drive Slammer!" Will followed Mack's lead, as a massive mallet appeared in his hand. The new Black ranger swung it over his head and then threw it spinning into the Chillers, rendering them to the floor "It's slammin' time! Hyahh!" he added, leaping into the air and catching the Slammer before bringing it down onto the ground with an earth-shattering effect.

Dax is not that far behind the others, as a blue funnel-like weapon appears on his right hand and forearm "Drive Vortex!" he called, with the new weapon on his arm he pointed it at the Chillers as a fan on the inside started to whirr loudly and blew a powerful wind which blew the Chillers away.

"Drive Claws!" Ronny called, and a pair of construction-style scoops appeared on her hands. With her new weapons Ronny jumped into the air following an explosion behind her before landing on her feet and swinging the Claws slashing them against the Chillers and Lava Lizards -which had arrived- with loud clanking noises. "Yo ice cubes!" Ronny called "Take this!" and digging huge clumps of rock out of the earth wall behind her, Ronny batted them towards the enemy.

The rocks hit and disintegrated several Chillers to small piles of ice and snow.

Abby frowned as she looked down at her element "Such a waste!" she grumbled, before flipping over as several Chillers and Lava Lizards jumped at her, kicking up the White ranger delivered a few well-aimed kicks before somersaulting over an explosion.

Meanwhile, Rose similarly has her weapon; it was a device that looked like a rather large Dust Buster, on her right hand. She dodged and jumped into the air as she somersaulted high into the air as two Lava Lizards spat beams of fire at her. Avoiding the blasts the new Pink Ranger took aim with her weapon "Drive Geyser!" she yelled, as a stream of water blasted from the tip of the Geyser and washed over the Lizards.

"Red-line time!" Mack commanded, twirling his Lance in a circle before sliding forward at super speed and ploughed through a couple of Lizards who were foolish enough to take him on. They exploded, as he slid to a stop the flames dying down behind him; as if on a chain reaction and their comrades fell, the rest of the Chillers and Lava Lizards that the other Rangers had been fighting exploded and disintegrated respectively.

"Give me the crown!" Moltor growled, as his claw wrapped tightly around Hartford's shoulder and he hauled him to his feet

"Dad!" Mack yelled, turning on Moltor and blasting the creep away from his father.

"Mr. Hartford!" Dax exclaimed

Abby stepped forward "Back off!" she hissed, blaster in hand and trained on the creature in front of her

"Finally!" Moltor grinned "The crown is mine!" he snagged the possession from his minions, as they approached

Spencer joined them holding his arm "I'm sorry, sir! They overpowered me!"

"It's not your fault, Spencer" Abby assured him "These things happen. We'll get the crown back"

"You think so, do you?" Moltor sneered

Abby glowered through her visor "Let me tell you something Moltor, you may be new at this but I'm not! Evil has tried to take over this world several times in the past and each time its plans have been thwarted by those who are brave enough to step up and call themselves defenders of the galaxy!" she seethed "Just because you have the Corona Aurora, does not mean that you will succeed in what your preceeders failed to do!"

Moltor laughed "The choice is yours, Rangers. Go after me and the crown, or..." he gestured in the direction of the city, where a mountaintop exploded spewing lava and hot ash into the air.

"No!" Mack yelled

"...save the city. You want to be heroes?" Moltor taunted "be heroes!" and he whirled around before disappearing in a burst of flames.

Meanwhile, the rangers hesitated, they had two options go after Moltor and the crown and allow the lava to destroy everything within its path...or...stay and eliminate the problem at hand and allow Moltor to get even further away with the Crown.

"Dad!" Mack exclaimed, turning to his father for advice "What do we do?"

But Andrew Hartford looked as lost as the rangers felt. It was a tough decision, and the wrong one could have cost them everything.


A/N: Back sooner than expected. But that doesn't mean this will be as updated as fast as the last season. I only just realized how difficult it is re-writing a season that I know absolutely nothing about. Yep, that's right Operation Overdrive was a season of Power Rangers that I did not watch.

Anyway, if you have any ideas or anything in particular you would like to see in this upcoming season let me know, and I will do my best to incorporate it. As you've most likely guessed from this first chapter, Abby does not have a personal weapon...any ideas will be appreciated.

Can't wait to hear from you.
