Chapter 4: Tomb Raiders

The two teams regrouped. "We're not going to last much longer." Rose informed.

"At this rate we're going to kill each other. And I like living." Dax added.

"We all do." Tyzonn reminded him. "But we can't let them have it again." 'After disappearing with Moltor in Japan, the following day they tried to open the tomb in Egypt. We assumed that would be their goal, so the night prior we set up for the ambush. It wasn't easy, they fought back, and somehow in the middle of it all, we wound up with the artifact again. We escaped under the cover of smoke pellets, like we were the thieves, the ones working for Moltor. I can't believe we fell for his trap. He only went to Japan to lure us there. It was his plan all along. I'm so stupid for not seeing it.' Tyzonn scolded himself.

"Give us the key!" The black ranger demanded. Both teams were exhausted.

"Never." Tyzonn shot back. They began to do battle again.

Dax had gotten another clean shot at Will's chest sending him back. 'Even after we left they tried to open the tomb, according to Mr. Hartford, who had installed a camera there to monitor the site to make sure no grave diggers messed with the tomb. They tried, and failed, the tomb won't open without a key. And Mr. Hartford suggested that we refrain from opening it until the others are returned back to their normal selves. He said it would be too dangerous, that they might steal whatever was inside, and no doubt it would be important. Dangerous he said . . . he's not fighting Mack, Ronny, and Will. Even after all that, the battle was far from over. The next day only led to more surprises. If only this would just all end. I just want things to go back to the way things were.'

Rose ricocheted off the wall. She drew her Drive Geyser but Mack shot her in the arm causing her to drop her weapon. Ignoring the pain was becoming harder and harder. Mack walked slowly to Rose, prolonging the inevitable pain he was to bring upon her.

Rose clutched her arm, her vision blurry from the tears gliding down her cheeks. "Get that key!" Bellowed a familiar voice. Moltor stood at the top of the cliff overseeing the battle. Tyzonn went flying, landing on shards of broken rocks. His muscles shook violently as he struggled to get up. As soon as he stood, he fell, unable to steady himself any longer. Ronny walked slowly toward him breathing heavily.

A punch to the gut, a slash to the chest, followed up by a back kick sent Dax reeling. The blue ranger groaned in pain. "Mack! I'm begging you; remember whose side you're on! Please. . . remember!" Rose cried. She gasped and coughed as Mack picked her up by her throat. Her legs flailing, she grasped his hand trying to pry it apart, but to no avail, Mack's super ability was super strength.

"Where's the key?" He asked with more venom than the deadliest of snakes. The pink ranger could feel the blood trickle down her arm under her suit, the harsh sea air burning her wound. Rose's uniform had torn where Mack shot her. Their suits could not handle much more . . . they were giving out.

"No!!!" Tyzonn cried out. "Let her go!"

"Where's your precious Sentinel Knight now?" Mack asked his former teammate, releasing his grip. Rose hit the ground with a thud, her ranger suit collapsed, and faded away. She grabbed her throat coughing, gasping for air, but the red ranger wasn't done yet. He pulled her up by her injured arm and twisted it behind her back. Rose grabbed her shoulder, wincing in pain. "Any farther and I'll break her arm." He told the silver ranger.

Will and Ronny forced Dax to his knees after one last punch to the gut by the black ranger. The blue ranger demorphed as well. Will put his Drive Defender to Dax's throat, "What will it be, Ty?" Will asked. Tyzonn looked on, his friends in pain and agony. 'What should I do? Where is the Sentinel Knight?'
