Power Rangers: Lightning Strikes ✔️

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Chosen?

Tara hated being in the swamp, she made that clear earlier, the swamp was something she did not enjoy. The boat guy had been taking her across the swamp, as she pulled out the map Colby had given her; her brown eyes began to examine the map as she saw an entrance to the other part of the forest. Her hope was that a cave would be near the trail she was going to take through the trees, that is, once she reached the other side of the swamp.

"Are you searching for the mirror of destiny, ma'am?" he questioned.

"Yes sir," says Tara. "There is a situation back home that it made me realize I had to find it,"

"Oh yes," says the man. "The mirror of destiny is an important relic,"

"It is?" questioned Tara as he continued to row. "Why is that?"

"The Mirror of Destiny was used by some of the most powerful witches and wizards," he said. "And they weren't your ordinary wizards or witches either,"

"Who were they?"

"Why, they were like you young lady," he responds.

"Me?" said Tara completely confused.

"Yes, you," he answered back. "You see, they were power rangers, defenders of the earth," he kept going. "One of the oldest power rangers around, they fought with magic defending earth against the evilest of evils,"

"Power rangers?" she said stunned. "Wait a minute," Says Tara as she suddenly had an epiphany. "How do you know who I am?"

"I've been expecting you young one," responds eye-patch guy. "I know about your dreams and I know what you're going up against,"

"Would the mirror of destiny work?" asked Tara. The man nodded his head, Tara felt that she could trust him; there wasn't much of a bad feeling something was up.

"Yes," says the man. "It will, but only if it's used by the chosen one,"

"The chosen one?" Tara had so many questions that she couldn't pin anything down. Everything was starting to blow up around her and for all she knew, her friends could be in danger. "Who's the chosen one?"

"You are," he says.

"No, there has to be some mistake," she said stubbornly. "There's no way I was chosen by this mirror,"

"You have been chosen," said the man who's voice suddenly got slightly deep. "Those who dream about the mirror is meant to find it," he continued. "When you get your hands on the mirror, it will show you everything, not only your enemies weaknesses but it will also show you the possible future," Eventually, the man had finally got her on the other side of the swamp. She smiled and thanked him; she climbed out of the boat and stepped onto dry land. As Tara was about to walk down the path, the boat man cleared his throat making her stop in her tracks.

"Oh, and one other thing," says the man. "beware of your surroundings, I suspect that someone is following you,"

"What?" but before she could ask him a question, she turned around and the man was gone. Creeped out, Tara took a deep breath as she walked through the forest, now aware that she might have been followed Tara kept her guard up. Sammy on the other hand, he was in the trees watching her from afar when a form of black smoke appeared on the branch next to Sammy.

"Whatcha doing?" says Meg as she appeared next to Sammy her short blonde hair blew slightly in the wind.

"Nice to see you too sweet heart," says Sammy as he kissed her cheek and turned back to the pink ranger. "I was told to follow the pink ranger because she is going after the mirror of destiny,"

"The mirror of destiny?!" gasped Meg in shock. "There's no way that goodie two-shoes has found it,"

"She has and we're going to take it from her so we can give it to your father and Lucifer,"

"Ugh," says Meg. "Your still listening to what father says?"

"You and I both know that if your father doesn't get what he asks for he will have our heads," Meg rolled her eyes as she followed Sammy through the trees. Tara eventually made it to the cave which was a large opening and pulled out her flashlight, there, she turned it on and entered the cave. The cave was very stuffy, and she wasn't sure how far the cave went but she knew that she had to find the mirror before it was too late.

Back in Los Angeles, Mark, Sean, Sam, and Kat had found themselves in different dimensions. Sean was the first to discover that he was in an enclosed space and he was dimorphed.

"No," says Sean panic swelling in his chest. "I hate enclosed spaces,"

"Where am I?" questioned Sam as he found himself in a haunted house. "No there's no way," he had recognized that he was in the Amityville horror house and he was absolutely terrified.

"What the hell?" says Mark as he saw that he was on a boat that was directly in the middle of the ocean. He had his swim trunks on and a life vest. His eyes widen as he saw where he was at. "No, not the ocean!"

"Why am I in a café? Why is Sam here with me?" she recognized immediately where she was as her stomach did a flip. A man with a black outfit as well as a black backpack entered the café as he made his way over to the counter. Kat saw that he had a gun in his hand and was about to pull it out. Colby was back at the bunker as he saw the situation. He tapped a few keys on the keyboard and saw that the monster had trapped the rangers in four dimensions with their fears.

"Rangers?" he said trying to communicate with the four who were trapped in the dimensions. All he got was a bunch of static, no matter he how much he tried calling them nothing would go through. His only option was to call Tara and hope that she was in close range to speak with.
