Power Rangers: Lightning Strikes ✔️

Chapter Sixty-One: The Ritual Cave

"What do you mean?" asks Tara.

"The spell we're about to do requires him to be pinned down otherwise we won't be able to remove the curse,"

"I don't care," says Sean. "I don't care what it takes, as long as we can save Mark,"

"He really means a lot to you doesn't he?" asks Katrina.

"Yes, he's one of my best friends and I admire a lot of his accomplishments," responds Sean.

"Don't worry," said Tara. "We'll save him," together the rangers and Colby chained Mark's hands and ankles to the table at the same time Mark started to wake up. He looked around and saw that he was stuck to a table. His team and Colby were standing over him, his stomach dropped as he knew where this was about to go.

"Guys?" he said as he felt chains rattle. "Where are we? And why am I chained to the table?"

"I hope your prepared buddy," Colby said. "Because we're about to do a painful spell to remove the curse,"

"Thanks for the warning," says Mark unenthusiastically. The rangers joined hands with each other and Colby as they started reciting a spell. While Mark at first didn't feel anything, that was shattered immediately at the painful feeling in his arm. Mark cried out in pain as it felt that they were searing his skin. Mark wanted them to stop, to let him deal with the curse but he knew that if the curse wasn't removed his humanity was going to be lost. The pain went on for about an hour as his friends started to say the spell slightly stronger, eventually, the feeling in his arm subsided. When he looked at it he saw that the bite was gone. A sigh of relief escaped from Mark's lips as his friends unstrapped him.

"How do you feel?" asks Sean.

"I feel like my humanity is being restored," responds Mark. Sean smiled and gave Mark a hug, when he pulled away, it was that exact moment that Dean had called the rangers. They unchained Mark and allowed him to answer the call.

"How is everyone?" asks Dean who's brown eyes were full of concern.

"We're fine," says Mark. "They did it, they got rid of the bite,"

"That's good now can you guys come and help us out? Colby I need you to go back to the bunker also to keep an eye on things,"

"You got it sir," says Colby who stepped away from the rangers that way they could morph.

"Ready?" asks Mark.

"Ready!" says the rangers. "It's morphin time!" they yelled and morphed into their ranger suits. The rangers teleported away from the ritual cave while Colby traveled back to the bunker, not long had Lycanthrope been trapped in the net did he cut his way through thankfully the rangers had arrived just in time.

"Thank god you guys are here," says Sammy. "And we're glad that you're okay Mark,"

"I'm glad I'm okay too but let's save the mushy talk for when we get back to the bunker," said Mark. "We have an enemy to defeat," Before the rangers could defeat Lycanthrope, the dark angels rose from the ground ready for a battle. Seeing their chance, the rangers summoned their weapons and attacked the dark angels. However, Mark and Sean's main target was Lycanthrope who stayed behind and allowed the foot soldiers to fight. The two friends launched themselves into the air and attacked Lycanthrope, this time, Mark dodged each strike and bite giving Sean the chance to strike Lycanthrope down. A single blow of Sean's double-edged sword knocked Lycanthrope onto his side, now that the enemy was down, Mark and Sean charged their weapons.

"Thunder Mace! Charge!" yells Mark.

"Golden Blades, Charge!" exclaims Sean.

"Final Strike!" yells Mark and Sean at the same time, their weapons combined into one giant orb and destroyed Lycanthrope once and for all. After Lycanthrope was destroyed the rangers powered down and made their way back to the bunker. Morgana wasn't so happy with the results as she had thought that her plan was full proof.

"Morgana," says Lucifer. "You said that the spell you placed on Lycanthrope was unbreakable,"

"Well," says Morgana. "I..."

"You said that the red ranger was not going to be our problem anymore,"

"Sire," said Morgana. "I apologize but I wasn't expecting the rangers to travel to the ritual caves and remove the spell!"

"Listen," says Lucifer in anger and annoyance. "You better figure something out before I send you back into that cell!"

"Don't worry sir, I won't let it happen again!"

"Good!" yells Lucifer. "Now get out of here! I don't want to see you again until you come up with a better plan!" Not wanting to make Lucifer anymore mad than he already was, she left the throne room and raced down one of the corridors in the castle until she reached one of the rooms.
