Standing in front of the camp near the town of Tajiri, Oita, Angel felt her still aching knees shake. It was raining outside, a torrential downpour but she had decided to go ahead and rescue the people in the camp anyways. When she had positioned herself near the back of the camp she had found, to her great disappointment, that this rescuing attempt would be a difficult one. From one of the buildings that was in the camp her father had walked out, Lynster trudging behind him holding a black umbrella to keep the rain from hitting his master. At first, Angel wanted to call it all off because of her father's presence in the camp but then she had thought against it after she had seen her father near slip and fall in the deep mud.
Adam, when he saw Master Vile slip and near go down on the mud imagined comical music, the type that played when someone fell, playing as the feared conquerer of worlds fell on his rear then started flailing his arms about, sending globs of mud everywhere. Tommy, on the other hand, was more serious-minded than Adam, and the others who were trying to hold back giggles as Master Vile slipped about. He had radioed Angel twice and had gotten no reply, he was about to try again when suddenly, he heard a great roar; the signal for them to go forward and start cutting the fence. Even though he didn't want to because of Master Vile being inside of the camp, he had to. He raced forward and started cutting the links on the chain, the others came in right behind him. They had the fence down just as Master Vile turned and saw them. He had his mouth open, Tommy could see, and his chest heaved up, about to send out a yell for the monsters in the camp to get their attention on the Rangers when, suddenly, he heard another loud roar.
Angel had figured that turning into a Velociraptor was perfect, she had damaged her father's elongated ear while in this form and surely he wouldn't want to go through that again and with the monsters about the camp he would order that they would surround and protect him. She figured wrong, as soon as she leaped into the camp her father ushered an order to capture her alive and bring her to him. Angel's Velociraptor-form was a pretty one, her scales were dull red with silver edges and her eyes were a full dull green. A turtle monster ran at her with a net, she whirled around and attacked him quick, sinking her sharp pointy teeth and digging her claws into his arms and legs. The turtle monster yelled in pain but he didn't back down, he grabbed her and with one great big thrust, threw her back against the fence. The civilians in the camp were already out, this one camp had been tended to well with all the sick and injured back to fine health and the to term pregnant women ran out of the camp holding their baby's in tight but protective arms. Angel stayed down for all of a second then stood, she shook her head then rushed forward. She ran past five turtle monsters who tossed nets and ropes at her, one turtle monster threw a slime covered ooze on her that struck her on the side, she figured that he had meant to throw it into her eyes because he cursed after it struck her side. She was headed for the gap in the fence when, suddenly, she felt a great pain in her leg. She was going much too fast and couldn't slow down, she slipped in mid-run and fell hard in the mud.
"Throw a net on her now!" she heard her father shout. "Do it now or face the wrath of Vile!"
Angel stood up and looked down, it wasn't just one leg but both right where the cuts were when she had jumped from the mountain top that had come lose from the mountain when her father had arrived. In with a bang, she thought to herself, he sure made clear that he was here. Seeing that her leg was fully open, Angel sighed and transformed into her true form. Tommy looked at her in shock, his mouth dropping low, he pointed at her leg and she looked down. Her leg had a solid blood trail on it, the stitches that the doctor had put in a few days ago had been torn out.
"Angel look out!" Jason shouted.
Angel turned around just in time to see Lynster lunge at her. Lynster was Scottish Terrier-like creature from the planet Claydoious, in front his species was called Claydo. Lynster had brown fur all over with leathery paw pads, he had gray around his muzzle and eyes, which were bright blue in color. He was wearing a red uniform with a white apron over top of it and brown sandals on his feet. As soon as Angel saw the Claydo rushing at her she remembered the beating she had suffered from him while in her father's palace. She stepped to the side quick but as she did so her feet slipped from underneath of her and she fell with a great thud in the thick, soupy mud. Lynster slipped as well but he didn't fall down, instead he turned around ran to her. Angel had just gotten up and started running when she felt his hand sweep across her back. She ran around the Claydo then shot straight through the gap in the fence, mud had seeped into the re-opened wound on her right leg and it was stinging bad. Just as she reached the teleportation window she felt an energized rope go around her left ankle, she had just gone into the portal when it tugged her foot from under her. She was in the camp when she fell, her left leg struck the rocky ground with a thud and she sent up a great scream of pain. Like her right left, the wound on her left leg re-opened and fresh blood oozed down from it making a puddle around her knee. As if the re-opened wounds to her legs wasn't bad, the teleportation window hadn't closed behind her because of the rope around her ankle. The rope tightened and she felt herself being pulled back. Her re-injured legs scraped the rocky and dirty ground, she screamed in pain and dug her nails into the ground, almost all of them broke at the quicks and one separated from her finger completely.
Tommy was with the others celebrating the success of their last camp liberation when he caught something out of the corner of his eye. He turned slowly and, with his mouth open, sent out a scream that made everyone in the camp jump in fright. Adam and Kat asked him what was wrong but he didn't hear them, he raced forward and jumped, his hands out stretched. When he landed he was only a foot from Angel, whose feet were now through the still open teleportation window. Quickly scrambling forward, he grabbed both of Angel's hands. Angel looked at him then sunk what was left of her nails into his flesh.
"Help!" Tommy shrieked. "Someone help me!"
He stood up and tugged hard on Angel's arms, Angel sent up a yelp of pain, her ankle was now held up off of the ground and Tommy was near to pulling her arms out of their sockets. Tommy managed to get her feet back out of the teleportation window but that was all. Three more sets of hands joined his and he looked back. Kat, Adam and Jason were behind him, helping him get Angel back on their side. It wasn't enough, all of a sudden there was a great yank on the rope that was around Angel's ankle and she pulled back into the teleportation window, this time almost to her knees.
"Jason, grab her from under her shoulders and pull!" Tommy ordered.
Jason let go of Angel's left arm and she went into the teleportation a bit more but that was all. Jason hooked his arms under her shoulders and held tight, he pulled back as Tommy and Kat pulled back. They succeeded in pulling Angel back to their side of the teleportation window. Billy and Aisha ran up and grabbed the clothing around Angel's waist, a sudden yank pulled Angel back through the window almost to her waist.
"That brown-haired creature can't be this strong!" Kat exclaimed. "He can't! He can't! He just can't!"
Angel was paralyzed by her terror, she had a great lump in her throat that prevented her from speaking or screaming, she was able to dig her fingers into Tommy's wrists deeper but that was all. She had an idea who it was on the other end of the teleportation window, the strength of the person not to mention that she could feel long fingernails sliding against her ankle was a dead giveaway as to who it was.
Master Vile had ran forward, sliding three times and falling twice in the thick soupy mud, when he had seen his daughter run out of the camp. With his scepter, a gold staff with a circular point on the top with three slightly downturned horns coming from it and a slight pitchfork on the bottom, he had shot an energized rope at his daughter. His rope had settled around Angel's ankle just as she reached the window, when she had disappeared in it he had given her a second before giving a great big tug on the rope. Lynster had grabbed the rope first, before he could say anything, and had pulled her back almost through the teleportation window before she was yanked back in. That was when he, Master Vile, had taken over. He had shoved Lynster away and grabbed the rope, wrapping it around his hand twice, then had given a great tug and had her back almost to her knees. He used a small amount of strength and had his daughter halfway through the teleportation window. His hand slipped and she slid back into the teleportation window slightly, it was then that he looked down and saw the blood that was trickling down her leg and the long wound that ran from just over her knee to almost her ankle.
They had gotten more help, three body builders had joined them and each were pulling back with all of their might, Angel was almost back on their side of the teleportation window when another tug broke all of their hard work. Angel found her voice then, she started ushering out a few commands and released her hands from Tommy's wrists, she grabbed a hold of one of the body builders, a man with large arms and a full head of red curly hair. The man didn't seem to mind when she dug her remaining nails into his wrists.
"Pull me back!" she yelled. "Put all your muscle into it! Pull me back just enough so I can see the rope!"
Angel groaned as the men and the two teenage ladies groaned as they pulled her back. Her legs slowly came through the window and they almost had her through when another tug brought her back, Angel wet her lips and tightened her hold on the curly red-haired body builder whose neck veins were tight in his throat. Two more men joined in for a total of eleven people trying to pull Angel back to their side. Near everyone, except for the new refugees from the Japanese camp, knew who Angel was. She was the daughter of Master Vile, the one who kept escaping her father and the one who had created the camp and who was helping the captive people in the camps to escape to a better way of temporary life. A sudden tug made Angel near come flying through the side of the teleportation window that they didn't want her to be on, Angel screamed in pain and in terror, the window was just below her breasts. The tugging stopped for a minute and Angel felt a cloth, a soft cloth, being run up her leg.
Master Vile had seen the wound and although he was furious in his anger over Angel escaping from him again, he had somewhat softened up with concern. He had grabbed both of her ankles and with a great heave had her almost through the teleportation window. He released one of her ankles and reached into his black robes, he rummaged around for a few seconds then pulled out his black crepe kerchief. When he had that out he gently brought it over both of his daughter's legs, wiping the blood that was oozing out of her wounds and wiping the mud away. He made a mental reminder to himself to have her medicated quick so that no infections set in before he began her punishments. When he was cleaning her legs she was suddenly pulled back, away from him.
Eleven people had jumped up to fifteen, mostly men but there were now four women helping out. With the extra help Angel was pulled near to their side, but slowly. It was a battle, they had to work for every inch that they gained because, at times, two inches would be taken back. In all it took them four minutes to have Angel's body almost all the way on their side except for her ankles which were still on the other side, to Angel though it felt like an hour. She felt like she was being used as a tug-of-war rope, she knew she would have some sore arms and legs tomorrow and plenty of bruises to show off. She released her hands from the curly red-headed body builder's wrist and readied herself for when the rope would be seen. To their great horror, when he ankles came through to their side so did Master Vile's hands, which were directly above the rope preventing her from sending a fire bolt at it.
"No!" everyone around Angel screamed, it near deafened Angel.
"Pry his hand loose!" Angel ordered. "Pry it off! We don't want him on this side of the window!"
One of the body builders released her and went to where her ankle was, he jabbed at Angel's father's hand with his fingers, he had a pocket screwdriver in his pocket and dug it out, he rose it and brought it down with such force, making a hole in Master Vile's hand which oozed green blood on the ground near the portal window, the hand didn't release its hold. One of the women rushed forward and starting hitting the hand with the heel of her high heel shoe, she was on her fifth drop when the hand suddenly released and flew back into the window. The rope was now fully exposed and Angel wasted no time at all in directing her flame strike at it. She sent the bolt of fire at it and it exploded, sending her and everyone who had been helping to keep her from her father flying through the air about five feet.
"Th- th- thank you..." Angel said a few minutes later.
"No prob my fair lady." one of the body builders replied. "Think I speak for all that of us but we're very gracious for what all you have done so far."
While Angel's wounds were being tended to and the newly rescued came to her offering gifts of clothing, flowers and other items which they had made, Angel's father was having a fit. Rita was fussing over his hand which had three holes in that she was medicating and bandaging up while Rito was saying he wanted bad to teach his baby sister a lesson. Even after the medicating and bandaging Rita fussed over him, and Rito kept ranting on and on about how he was going to do this and this and that to his baby sister, it went on all through suppertime before Master Vile had enough. He had a glass of blue rum in his hand when he slammed his fist onto the table, most of the contents inside spilled over onto his chest but he didn't notice. Rita and Rito jumped, as did their uncle and aunt who were also at the table.
"Enough of this conversation!" he said sternly. "The only one who will be teaching any lessons to your sister is me. I find out anyone has put their hands on Angel now, before and later will face my wrath. Is that understood?"
Rita and Rito nodded their heads while their uncle and aunt said crystal together, Lynster and Kelso backed out of the medium-sized, but yet still looking much too small, room where the family of Vile minus one were finishing up their supper and about to get dessert. Master Vile never noticed that they had left, they had done so so silently. Glog, the Pig Chef, walked by them, eying them suspiciously but didn't say a word.
"Oh crap if he finds out..." Kelso exclaimed in fear.
"I'll be without my head!" Lynster finshed for him.
"And I'll have my horns ripped out from my head." Kelso added. "Remember, I saw it happen and didn't do a thing to stop you. I'm just as guilty."
