Chapter 2—A Nightmare Become Real

Somni had never experienced insomnia but she didn't care much for its draining effects on her body. She had had a nightmare concerning Alpha 5 but no one took her vision seriously.

'Go back to sleep, Somni.', Beta said, plugging into his recuperation bay. Somni slunk out of his room and entered her recuperation chamber, shrugging off the nightmare as nothing more than a bad dream. Little did she know her nightmare had been a premonition of ill tidings to come.

Meanwhile on the moon the phony wedding commenced without any hitch and Alpha was completely under the sway of the slave crown. His only desire was to deliver the Rangers' corpses to his Mistress by the end of the night.

Back on Edenoi, Delta 4 had noticed her husband had gone missing. It wasn't like him not to be curled up in her embrace, or she in his. She contacted her AI, Mariah.

'They bypassed my security codes ! I don't know how they did it, Majesty. Please, forgive me…', Mariah apologized.

'Nothing to forgive. Even machines such as we have our flaws. They must've had a scrambler to slip by unawares. We need to act, fast. I have to take my hypership to Earth. The Rangers are going to be in danger, I feel it.', Delta 4 said. Mariah caused the hypership to be lifted from its underground storage into the adjoining hangar. In a manner of seconds, Delta 4 was hurtling toward Earth, hopefully long before Alpha 5 had come to carry out Rita's twisted plan. They must've had a scrambler to slip by unawares.

Alpha's slave crown was carved from the malefic Dark Crystal, a gem of unspeakable power. It was beautifully crafted, with the symbol of Rita's family etched into the center. It was filled with Dark Power, the energy source of the United Alliance of Evil. Since he was an ally to the Rangers, walking through HQ had been easier than pie. He nearly cackled to himself at how simplistic everything had been so far. That is, until Delta 4 had made a mad dash to track him down.
