Disclaimer: yeah, usual stuff! I don't own anything except for the Siren project!
Dr. Oliver's house, the next day
"You knew all along it was her?" Dr. Oliver asked Anton. "Yes, I did. Mesogog had five projects planned out in case something like this happened. The Siren project is his first and most complete, the other four were added almost as an after thought, because Kira was captured first and the range of her powers was better known. Past that I don't know anymore about the projects." Anton replied.
"Infiltration of his fortress then? Blow some stuff up etcetera?" Ethan suggested. Trent glared at him. "If Siren is wounded we risk killing her if she attacks…" Trent began to say when his father cut him off. "She'll have recovered. Mesogog is well trained in surgery and cybernetics."
Mesogog's fortress
Truth be told Siren at that very moment felt awful. Her body was stiff and stretching her wings was an effort. Swordhawk had beaten her, and beaten her good. The mutant got up and stumbled from her quarters and into a very angry cyborg. Zeltrax glared at her. "Hi." Siren snapped. Zeltrax glowered at her. "Have you seen Lord Mesogog? I finished the repairs to Swordhawk." Siren looked up and said, "Does it look like I've seen him?" Before Zeltrax could say anything else, Siren brushed past him.
Elsa woke up, the scaled arm wrapped close around her. She was afraid to move. She didn't know what kind of mood her master would be in when he awoke and she did not want to experience it first hand. "Oh, you are awake." The reptilian voice whispered in her ear. Elsa gave a start.
Mesogog laughed darkly. "Still think I am going to hurt you?" he said to her. Elsa nodded gently. "I wouldn't dream of it. At least not today." He told her. Mesogog moved his arm, allowing Elsa to get up. As soon as she stepped away, he stood, towering over her. Elsa watched her back as she dressed, not knowing if her master would suddenly turn on her. The dinosaur master merely threw his own clothes on before exiting.
Nervously, Elsa walked into the hallway as she strapped her sword on her side. Mesogog had already reached the lab. Swordhawk watched him with wary eyes as he entered. "So, I assume the beast is repaired?" He growled. Swordhawk bristled at his comment. "Yes my Lord." Zeltrax said, nodding his head in Swordhawk's direction.
Mesogog hefted his scimitar. "Okay then, let's see." Swordhawk stood there, uncertain. "Attack won't you?" Mesogog sighed. Swordhawk lunged half heartedly. He did not wish to be injured again. Mesogog easily blocked the blow. The monster stopped its next attack. "This is pathetic." Mesogog snapped.
Swordhawk heard the insult and pounced, blade like wings extended. The dinosaur master swiveled about and lunged as well. The bird monster was thrown to the ground. "He'll do fine." Mesogog growled. Zeltrax bowed and was about to leave through a portal with Swordhawk when Mesogog stopped him. "You aren't going anywhere, Siren shall go with him."
"Siren? Isn't she wounded?" Zeltrax protested. Siren walked through the door to the lab. She limped slightly. 'Siren, will you fight?" Mesogog asked. Siren nodded and looked over at Swordhawk. "He is to accompany you." Mesogog informed her. A troop of the Elite gathered behind Siren. "When should we attack?" Siren growled.
Dr. Oliver's lab
The alarm went off, waking up Hayley. "Tommy get your behind down here, alarm is going off!" she shouted. The four boy rangers ran downstairs to see what appeared on the view screen. Siren stood there with a massive metallic bird at her side. "So, what are we waiting for?!' Hayley exclaimed, getting out of her chair. "Hayley…" Tommy was about to say when the tech expert wheeled about and flashed her new morpher. "I don't have to hide down here anymore." she snapped.
Hayley grabbed the reins of the yellow raptor rider as the boys prepared their cycles. In a quick rush they were off. Hayley gulped. She realized she dived in way too quickly as they neared Siren/Kira and the giant bird beast.
Somewhere in the city
Siren watched them come. "Attack." She whispered to Swordhawk. The creature lifted from the ground and darted forward, blade like claws out. She watched in satisfaction as one of the rangers was thrown from their vehicle.
Hayley shouted in fear and pain as she landed. Swordhawk landed and bent to bite her when Tommy turned around and shot him in the back. The bird screamed. The monster whirled on the black ranger.
Siren stood at a distance watching. With a gesture of her hand the Elite bounded forward to attack Ethan and Conner. Trent continued towards Siren. "Let's dance pretty boy." Siren whispered.
Author's Note: From the darkness I make my triumphant return! *bows* Hey everyone. I've been so busy with other stories I thought Siren had sung her swansong but not to fear! I'm back and working! Signing off!
