.~.~.~.~.~.
The smoke began to clear, a shadowy figure appeared in the cloud of dust and smoke. "Behind you!" Bridge yelled pointing at the figure standing behind Adam. Adam turned around but it was to late a ball of energy surged toward him, unable to stop it he flew backward. He landed hard, struggling to regain his balance, he saw the rest of the rangers protecting him from the next energy blast. His friends landed with a thud around him their uniforms smoking. Using his axe Adam pushes himself up readying himself for his next attack. He runs towards the figure still shrouded by the smoke from the earlier explosion. As his axe is about to make contact his blade is stopped.
"Adam..." The shadow hissed. " I know your secret... If you want your friends to live let me destroy you..." It hissed again, a malicious smile becoming visible through the smoke.
"Adam!" Bridge yelled, his arm reaching out to Adam. " Don't do it! We'll be fine!" Bridge yells confidently, pushing himself up. "Leave this to me!"
He lunges forward at the figure, using his Deltamax Striker he blasts his way closer to Adam, trying to free the creature's grip on Adam's axe. The creature lets go of the axe and grabs Adam by his neck.
"Let go of him!" Bridge yells, looking clearly upset.
Bridge edges closer to the figure, but it was to late. The creature caught Bridge using its other hand. Both Adam and Bridge struggle for breath, kicking at the figure, Bridge raises his Deltamax Striker but, he loses his grip on it in a fit a coughs.
"Goodbye!" The figure hisses, throwing Adam and Bridge in the air.
The figure quickly takes out his sword and slashes at Adam and Bridge still flying up into the sky, and in mere seconds both rangers were engulfed by flames. Screams could be heard, "Adam! Bridge!" Kira yells still struggling to get up. She unmorphs tears streaming down her face as she looks into the black smoke that now fills the sky.
She slumps down thinking of her lost comrades. "I expected more of a fight out of you." The creature muses. "You all are pathetic! You couldn't even protect your comrades as they died in front of you! How does that make you feel?" he smirks stepping out of the shadows. The creature unfastened a clasp at its throat, and a cloak slithered over its scaly hide and off its body. As it unfolded itself to its full height, looking slightly down upon them, Xander noticed how the blue-green scales of its back gave way to yellow on its chest, now ablaze in the midday sun, it was now stained with the blood of his comrades. What struck him most was the creatures black, sickle-like claws and the fangs that protruded from its elongated mouth. He smirked its tongue flicking at its face.
"I'll be back to defeat you. But right now I want you to feel the agony of your friends death weigh on you." The creature turns its blue-green scales reflecting off the midday sun. And in instant the creature vanished and the remaining rangers were left, experiencing the pain of their wounds and the death of their comrades.
Hitting the ground hard, Xander stands up, unmorphing. "We can't let him take away our friends like that! We have to avenge them somehow! I won't let them die in vain!" He screams, tears streaming down his face, he wipes them away as the other rangers look at him. Clearly saddened by the days events.
