Power Rangers: Lightning Strikes ✔️

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Bite

Mark Fischbach had enjoyed being the red ranger, he was thankful that Dean had given him and his friends the day off. After all, while a ranger never takes a break it was still good to try and have one. While his friends were spending time at the mall, he was taking a walk through the forest when he heard a scream coming from the distance. His ranger instincts kicked in as he raced to find the source of the scream, he ran through the forest and flipped over some bushes landing on his feet. After what seemed a while of running he saw a monster getting ready to attack a beautiful young lady with red hair.

"Leave her alone!" yells Mark as the monster that seemed to be half man and half wolf looked up it let out a low growl as he got closer to it.

"Help me!" yells the woman. He didn't know who that woman was, but she felt familiar. Kneeling toward her, Mark helped her up.

"Go, I'll take care of this," says Mark. The girl nodded and ducked behind a tree, however, he failed to notice that the woman he just helped was none other than Morgana. The monster snarled and attacked Mark; instinct kicked in as he rolled to the side. "Really? Attacking a lady while she's down, I thought your master would have trained you well," The monster ran at him at the same time he morphed into his ranger suit, Mark couldn't do this alone, he had to get help from his friends. Summoning his weapon, Mark struck the monster making it double back.

"Guys!" exclaims Mark into his ring. "There's a monster here and I need your help!"

"Right!" they all said at once, it didn't take long before his ranger buddies arrived and helped to attack the monster. But before they could do anymore, they were struck by magic; the rangers yelped and fell back with a groan.

"What was that?!" questions Sean as he looked over to see a woman with a red cloak and black hair.

"It's the girl I saved a few minutes ago!" says Mark in shock.

"Thank you so much for your help Red Ranger," says the girl as she removed her hood revealing that she was Morgana. "But I think I set that trap up perfectly well,"

"You witch!" exclaims Mark, no matter how kind Mark was to anyone sometimes they would use him which was one of his weaknesses. He was often too kind and because of that he is taken advantage of. Not this time, he wasn't going to let anything stand in his way not even Morgana.

"So glad that you recognize me," responds Morgana.

"What are you doing here?!" demanded Katrina, she hated Morgana; not a day went by did Katrina want to fight Morgana and destroy her once and for all. The silver ranger glared as she was holding onto her weapon ready to use it at a moment's notice.

"Nice to see you too Silver ranger," says Morgana. "But you see, this trap was set up for Mark and you disgusting heroes are always the problem," turning toward the monster she whispered in what seemed to be a large wolf ear. "You know what to do, mark the red ranger and destroy the rest," turning back to the rangers she laughed and moved her fingers. "See you later rangers,"

"You aren't going anywhere!" yells Katrina as she attacked Morgana. Morgana, completely taken by surprise quickly dodged her attack as the rest of the rangers started to fight the werewolf monster once again. The monster howled striking the rangers left and right, Dean called on his weapon and tried to shoot at the monster only it did not seem to affect him. Sean tried to attack with his daggers only to be thrown into a tree. The rest of the rangers tried their best to fight but were all knocked over. The only one that seemed to keep fighting was Mark, he fought without hesitation striking at any location but as he was about to strike the final blow, the monsters large teeth clamped onto Mark's arm and tossed him to the side practically dimorphing him. Meanwhile Katrina had been fighting Morgana who had been using most of her magic.

"I'm getting sick of you meddling Silver ranger!" yells Morgana who used her magic and sent Katrina flying to the ground. "I don't have time for this," with a snap of her fingers, Morgana disappeared leaving the rangers weak and unmorphed. The monster howled at what had happened and disappeared at the same time as Morgana. Mark groaned as the rangers attention was drawn away from the monster and to Mark who was clutching his arm in pain.

"Mark!" exclaims Sam as he ran over to his friend. He looked at Mark who had a large bite on his arm. "What happened?!"

"That monster was a werewolf Sam, and it seemed to target Mark specifically," says Dean.

"It doesn't matter," says Sammy. "Let's get him back to the bunker and figure out what are next moves are," the rangers nodded and brought Mark back to the bunker who had already passed out from the pain. They laid Mark down on the couch at the same time Colby entered the room and to his surprise, saw that Mark was unconscious on the couch.

"Guys? What happened?" he asked.

"Mark got bit by one of the monsters," says Tara. "It was a werewolf,"

"Why is it that if it's not me who gets attacked," says Sean. "It's Mark and vice versa?!"

"I don't know," says Sammy. "All I know is, we have to figure out what to do about Mark,"

"Sammy, do you remember when I we were fighting the werewolves?" asked Dean. "You remember what we did?"

"We shot a silver bullet into the alpha werewolf's heart," responds Sammy. "But this seems different Dean," he continued. "Something about this werewolf is different,"

"Yeah, like it doesn't talk and bit Mark," says Sean.

"Not only that but Morgana whispered into its ear," said Sammy. Suddenly, before the rangers could even think any more about it, the bite on Mark's arm glowed an eerie blue. Mark cried out in pain as his eyes opened and turned from brown to yellow.
