Shortly after that happened, Mason shrunk back to his human size. The Magirangers, in their civillian form, arrived at the scene, where Hikaru picked up the piece of charcoal.

"To think that this silly piece could cause so much trouble." he remarked.

Urara, however, was relieved: "I'm just glad this is over."

"Me too." Houka agreed.

Tsubasa was remarkably quiet, while Kai was enthusiastic about this: "Like my real family would ever want to hurt me!"

"Or Titan be evil." Houka added.

"I'm not so sure about this, though." Makito said, as he looked at Sutokeru, who had started to talk with Mason, but not in Japanese.

"I just keep forgetting he grew up in Australia." Houka laughed.

"What is he saying?" Kai asked.

"If only he'd talk slower." Makito cursed.

"I don't suppose Zedd would cut you any slack, now that you've betrayed him." Sutokeru said, to which Mason merely tilted his head down, "What I can't seem to understand is why you did it."

Mason looked up when he said that, but didn't say anything. Sutokeru continued: "Weren't you made to follow Zedd's every word? To not question what he asks of you?"

Mason nods, so which Sutokeru still wondered: "Then why do you wanna help us?"

That's when bolts of lightening struck down from the skies, allowing Zedd's two remaining henchmen to appear, Byers and Knitterface, along with a group of his grey soldiers. The soldiers began attacking the Magirangers, while Byers and Knitterface attacked Mason.

Given that the soldiers was giving the Magirangers a hard time, allowing them no opening to transform, there wasn't much they could do to help Mason. Before their very eyes, whenever they had the chance to see anything, Mason was taken down by Knitterface's chainsaw, then picked up by Byers, only to disappear along with them in the same type of light bolts that appeared earlier. Not too long after that, the foot soldiers disappeared too.

"Mason!?" Sutokeru shouted, but soon realized how stupid he looked when doing that.

"Looks like Zedd has his own plans with him." Tsubasa said, flatly.

Sutokeru looked at Tsubasa, indignant. Then he realized something else: "It doesn't matter."

The entire group looked at him, while dropping their jaws and setting their eyes wide open.

"Er... is that expression something my parents forgot to mention about Japan?" Sutokeru wondered.

"How can you be so frigid about Mason?" Houka asked.

Sutokeru sighed: "Honestly, I don't want to begin to imagine what Mason would go through. On the other hand, with Nailhead and Flueger gone, and one of his own henchmen turning against him, I'm sure it won't be long until Zedd's defeated, and Ginny is safe."

With this, Sutokeru decided to return to the Ozu residence.

Meanwhile, Mason was brought before Lord Zedd. The latter looked at him, up and down, then said: "Well done Mason."

After Mason nodded in thanks, Zedd continued: "With him thinking you're siding with him, his strength will diminish soon enough. Especially..."

Zedd looked at an orb he held in his left hand. It looked like a glass sphere you'd find in a fortune teller's den, but this one was definitely different. Inside, there were four colors showing: White, black, green and red. Although, it appeared as though the red and green were only recently intoduced to the orb, as it hadn't mixed itself with the white and black yet.

"... when this orb is complete..." Zedd continued, "...and I have done what I have to, with her."

He turned his head towards a window in his quarters, through which he could look at his female prisoner, who had turned pale, thinned out, or rather unhealthy altogether.
