Kira's house

"Deliciae, it is okay you split your cereal. It is not the end of the world." Deliciae clung to Kira's leg and cried as Kira swept up the cereal that had fallen from the box. "I DROPPED IT!" Deliciae mournfully wailed. Kira's mom walked in and shook her head. "Kira, keep that thing under control." She said.

Kira dropped the broom. "Mom! She didn't mean to! Deliciae is only a little kid!" she exclaimed.

"A monstrous kid."

"A little kid none the less!"

Deliciae fell silent as Kira exchanged harsh words with her mom.

"Kira, for all we know when she goes up she'll be a cold blooded killer!"

Kira picked up the broom, continued sweeping and said, "How can you say that when she cried when she saw Dad pin those butterflies?" Kira's mom grew quiet. Kira continued, "Deliciae saw dad catch it a place it one of those preserving jar things and then pin it when it was dead. Man…dad has a weird hobby…but never the less." Kira's mom continued to glare, even when Kira's father entered, with his butterfly net in hand.

"Uh, is this a bad time?" He asked, looking back in forth between the two women. "No." Kira snapped, throwing away the last of the fallen cereal. "Joanne, what happened?" He asked. Joanne looked up. "Eric, she has to get rid of that, that thing. Do you know how dangerous it could become?!" she snapped to her husband. Eric mumbled something to himself before saying, "How harmless could it be?"

Before Joanne could respond a loud crash sounded from the roof. Kira's parents ran outside to see what happened. Something big was climbing around on the roof, something very big. Kira took the distraction to grab a piece of toast that just came out of the toaster and a small cup of orange juice, pass them to Deliciae, and run the little creature upstairs.

Mr. and Mrs. Ford grew nervous. They had seen the briefest tip of a furry grey and black tail disappear. They knew who it belonged to. "Lupos." Eric mumbled.

Deliciae sat on the floor of Kira's room attacking her breakfast with gusto. Kira just sat a little ways from her foster daughter and watched with amusement. "Remind me to thank Lupos later." Kira said to Deliciae. Deliciae gave Kira a quick glance before attacking her toast again…

Anton Mercer's lab

His cell wasn't that bad. It wasn't the cold pit he thought he would be thrown in to rot. Instead it was almost like a regular detention cell. A small window and a strip of fluorescent lighting lit the room. Mesogog sank down onto his cot in the corner and stared at the ceiling. Maybe it won't be as bad as I originally thought. He thought to himself.

There was a clank of extremely heavy bolts being pulled back and a food was pushed into his cell. Mesogog approached. The man on the other side leapt back and slammed the door shut. Mesogog tore into his food.

The bolts were pulled back again an Anton entered. The door was shut behind him. "What do you want?" Mesogog growled. "To talk." Anton replied. Mesogog bared his teeth menacingly. "Go ahead." Mesogog rumbled.

"You do know of the survival of Lupos. Am I correct?"

Mesogog paused. "Lupos is alive? How?! I thought he was destroyed along with the rest of my lab." He exclaimed. "See, therein lies the problem. Is there anything else in the lab that might have survived?" Anton asked.

"A few jars maybe, pieces of scrap metal. Why?"

"We just want to make sure no abnormities show up. It would be quite a shame if we found out you still had control over any other creatures."

"I AM NOT CONTROLLING LUPOS IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE GETTING AT!"

"Lupos showed up in a residential area, Mesogog. Wouldn't a creature like him stick to the woods if you were gone?"

"I don't know, I only created him…him…to find my daughter and be a guardian. Anton, you haven't taken her into custody either?"

"No."

"Then is she safe?"

"That fact remains to be debated."

Anton walked out of the cell, leaving Mesogog to grieve his daughter's unknown fate.

Fortress ruins

Lothor had managed to reconstruct much of the main throne room. As soon as it was finished he would be able to resummon monsters to his aide. So far the secrecy of his work allowed him to advance so far in this endeavor. He had plans. He decided he wouldn't go after the ninja schools first this time…oh no, they had proven far too much trouble…even though he hated them so.

He would attack the main defenses first. (Meaning the rangers) They surely would be weak after fighting Mesogog and it was apparent it wasn't to long ago. Fairly recent by the look of the ruins when he first started. "It should take the rangers a while to recharge their energy, of course before that can happen I will have already destroyed them." He mumbled to himself.

Lothor arranged some wires and suddenly power flowed through the rest of the half finished construct. Lothor laughed and clapped his hands. "We have success!" he yelled.

Author's notes: 'ELLO! Okay, finally finished the second chapter. So we know Mesogog's situation right now, Deliciae's is the same, and Lothor is almost finished repairing the fortress. Now for all of you who have read Because of a Princess you might remember Deliciae having issues with that box of cereal. This chapter took place a few days after the prom. There you go, just clearing things up for ya'll! Also, what's up with Kira's parents knowing about Lupos? Signing off!
