Chapter Ten. Megazord Melee.
"Man!" Dice complained. "That's more Puree than I ever wanted to see!"
"Know the feeling," Luke said. "I liked him when he was smaller as well."
"Guess there's only really one thing to do," Lily said. "What do we always do in situations like this?"
"Zords?" Ryan asked.
"Zords," Max confirmed. "Guess we need the Cosmo Fighters!"
Swooping down from the sky above them, the Cosmo Fighters arrived on the scene, the automated transport systems bringing the rangers on board. In response to their arrival, the morph drives activated, transforming the Cosmo Fighter into their Zord forms.
"Activating morph drive 2.0. Cosmo Megazord formation!"
In response to the command, the five Zords began to change. The Infernape Zord's legs and arms tucked in to form a torso, all while the Grovyle split into two to form a pair of legs which attached to the bottom of the Infernape Zord. Both the Porygon and the Mightyena Zords moved up to form arms that became attached to the shoulders, the Porygon on the right, the Mightyena on the left. Finally, the Ditto Zord moved up to the top of the machine and covered the Infernape head to form an entirely new facial structure.
The Cosmo Megazord stood up tall, the four monsters surrounding it.
"Maybe some more help than that would be in order," Katie said. Ahead of her, Claire pulled out the box Dorlinda had given her and opened it up. An assortment of artefacts came falling out of it, the items shattering on the ground.
"Whoops," the Blue LZ Ranger muttered, before the spirits of the artefacts rose up from the ruins, transforming into a gang of zords that stood behind them. A Zapdos, Articuno and Moltres, a Raikou, Entei and Suicune, a Dialga, Palkia and Giratina and a Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza.
"Cool," Ryan said.
"Anyone would think you haven't seen a zord before," Riku quipped. "Let's get this on."
"Want to get really jealous?" Luke asked, nudging Ryan. "Me and Duo once piloted a few of those zords."
"It's true," Julia said. "He's not lying."
Behind them, a new squad of Blasbots appeared, ready to battle on in the name of Nixysis.
"That's all we need," Naomi complained, taking a fighting stance.
"I'll stop behind and tackle them," Falco said. "The rest of you must take down those things above us."
"That's good with me," Katie said. "Let's do it. Time to transform!"
"Double Team!" Paige exclaimed.
The six original Genesis Rangers grew and transformed into living versions of their Eevee forms.
"Overload Zords! Megazord formation!"
Under the command, the six Zords turned into their robot forms and began to combine. The Vaporeon and Umbreon Zords laying down to the ground, their legs and tails retracting inside the bodies. Their heads went down to the ground, the rear part of their bodies raising up to form legs. Next, the Leafeon Zord came bounding down, its front and rear legs fusing together before joining with the top of the Vaporeon and Umbreon Zords. Next the Flareon Zord leaped down onto the top of the Leafeon Zord, its limbs and tail folding in, a humanoid head appearing out of the area where the tail had been. The Flareon head detached, forming a helmet around the top of the head. Finally, the Espeon and Jolteon Zords jumped up, attaching to the shoulders of the Megazord. Their bodies elongating out into a prone position, the heads formed the shoulders of the robot. The rear legs and the tail of the Espeon Zord formed the hand of the right arm, while the needle-like fur at the rear of the Jolteon Zord formed the hand of the left arm. The legs vanishing away into the robotic body. Standing up, it took up a fighting stance.
Paige split herself into three forms, three different white rangers stood on the sand.
"North Wind Megazord!"
At the command, the three figures grew, before transforming, the replicants into a Froslass and a Dewgong, while the original white ranger transformed into a Glaceon. Next, the three giant Pokémon shifted into robot forms and began to move into formation. The Froslass rotating upside down, its head shifting up to form feet, before it split in half. The bottom part of the Zord rising up to connect to the bottom of the Glaceon whose front limbs rose out in front of it to form some chest armour. The rear legs joining with the tip of the split Froslass. The Glaceon's head rose up to form the head of the Megazord, while the Dewgong split in half down the middle. The upper body and head going to form the left arm, while the bottom half of the body and the tail moved to the right arm.
"If you want help," Naomi said, looking at Falco. "I'll stick down here and help you out."
"Your help is appreciated," the Mirror Ranger replied. "Crane?"
"I'll take the Solar Phoenix and help out them," Crane said, looking to the sky. "Now!"
A spaceship designed to look a Ho-oh swooped down, the Solar Ranger transporting himself into the cockpit.
"Solar Phoenix! Transform!"
The wings moved back down towards the base of the body, forming legs, while a pair of arms emerged out from the centre of the body, the Ho-oh head moving down to fill in the gaps. A gold helmed humanoid head appeared where the beaked face had been, while the plumage flattened across the arms to form armour.
"Solar Strike Megazord!" he shouted. "Activated."
Down on the ground, Julia jumped into the Zapdos Jet and David into the Moltres fighter.
"Activate K-bird Megazord." Julia pressed a button.
Both Zapdos Jet and Articuno Support suddenly lost their wings and tail feathers. Articuno Support joined the left arm of Moltres Fighter while Zapdos Jet joined the right arm of Moltres Fighter. Both Zapdos and Articuno's heads opened up down the middle, revealing the hands of the Megazord. The two wings of Zapdos and Articuno suddenly attached themselves onto Moltres Fighter's back, giving him the total of six wings. Zapdos Jet's tail feather suddenly transformed into the helmet of the Megazord while Articuno's tail feathers became a buckle around the Zord's waist.
Despite the combination of the three Zords, both Julia and David remain in their respective cockpits.
"K-Bird Megazord formation, complete!" Julia announced.
Claire jumped into the Temporal Dialga zord, already moving towards the button. "S-Dragon Megazord, assemble!"
The Temporal Dialga's body split apart. All four of Dialga legs merged to form a pair of legs. Spatial Palkia's head and neck split from the body as Ghost Giratina merged with Palkia's torso, forming a new head and neck. The merged pair of legs fused with Palkia's legs, forming the legs of the Megazord. Dialga's head and neck merged with the right side of the Megazord, forming the right arm while Palkia's head and neck merged with the left side of the Megazord, forming the left arm. Dialga's back wing appeared on the Dialga arm, forming a shield while Palkia's wings merged together, forming a sword in the Palkia arm. Claire sits in the cockpit, piloting it solo.
"S-Dragon Megazord formation, complete!" Claire announced.
Meanwhile, Dice went for the Rayquaza Skytrain zord and jumped in. "H-Weather Megazord, assemble!"
The Groudon Tank's body opened up, revealing a slot that could fit the Kyogre Gunship vertically, with its front facing the inside of the Zord. The Rayquaza Skytrain's body split into five pieces, the front engine with the Rayquaza head and four passenger cars. Two of the passenger cars attached themselves to Groudon's legs to form leg guards while the other two Passenger cars formed arm guards on the Groudon's arms. The Rayquaza head opened up, revealing the Megazord's head as the head attached itself to the Kyogre Body, completing the H-Weather Megazord.
"H-Weather Megazord, formation complete!" the Green Lost Zone Ranger said.
Finally, Riku and Emma went for the last lot of zords. Riku into the Splashing Suicune and Emma into the Radiating Raikou.
"J-Beast Megazord, assemble!"
The Raikou Zord suddenly folded itself, forming a right leg while the Entei Zord folded into a left leg. The Suicune became bipedal as its hind legs merged with the Raikou and Entei legs. The Suicune's front paws switched into hands as Zord's mouth opened wide, revealing the J-Beast Megazord's face.
"J-Beast Megazord, online!"
The eight Megazords faced the four mutants, all standing in a row.
"Let's get this battle on!" Katie called. "They won't know what hit them."
"I kinda hope they do," David quipped. "Us!"
"In the name of galactic peace, we're going to take you down," Max said. "Now, let's get this on!"
Roaring in anger, the cyborgs started to move towards their robotic opponents, ready to battle away.
The J-Beast Megazord and the Solar Storm Megazord went to battle CyberWhips, the cyborg opening her mouth to fire a barrage of fire balls at the two Megazords. The Solar Storm Megazord moved in to take the blast, the golden robot absorbing the fire easily.
"Nice trick!" Emma called.
"All in the hands," Crane replied. "Gust!"
The hands of the Solar Storm Megazord clapped together, sending out a snap of wind towards the cyborg which crashed against her body, knocking her back.
"Our turn," Riku said. The sibling rangers moving in unison, they went on the attack, the J-Beast Megazord hurling an array of punches and kicks towards CyberWhips. She howled as the attacks hit her, before striking them back with her tail. As the J-Beast Megazord went staggering back, the Solar Storm Megazord jumped in and kicked the cyborg in the back. She rounded on the robot, only for Riku and Emma to yell out simultaneous commands.
"Blaze Rain!"
The Entei leg burst into flames before kicking the air beneath it repeatedly. A barrage of fireballs came raining down on top of CyberWhips, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Guess she lost that Flash Fire ability when she became a cyborg," Emma remarked. "Lucky for us."
"And that gives me my chance," Crane said. "Sacred Fire Blast!"
The Solar Storm Megazord began to glow bright red, flames rising up across its entire body. Then it unleashed them in one brilliant stream of fire that completely incinerated CyberWhips on the spot.
"What do you know," Riku laughed. "They can be beaten."
The H-Weather Megazord and the North Wind Megazord found themselves facing CyberPurrie. He went for the H-Weather Megazord, slashing away repeatedly with his claws. They dug deep into the metal skin, Dice grimacing in the cockpit under his helmet.
"Damn Puree," he muttered. "You're not getting under my skin that easily."
"Ice Breaker!" Paige yelled, hitting a button on her console. The North Wind Megazord jumped forward, the Dewgong's head sending a devastating blow to CyberPurrie's back. He spun and slashed at the Megazord.
"Nice hit," Dice said. "Reckon I can get one better."
He hit a button in front of him. "Tidal Blast!"
A sprout of water erupted from the Kyogre sprout in the chest, the force of the blow sending CyberPurrie staggering back. Yowling, he leaped towards the North Wind Megazord, claws slashing away at it.
"Down, kitty!" Paige exclaimed. "This thing's been in mint condition for fifteen years, you're not breaking it."
He tried to bite the head of the North Wind Megazord, only for the H-Weather Megazord to grab him from behind and hurl him back.
"Want to put this half-wit half breed down for good?" Dice asked.
"Sounds like a plan," Paige replied. "If I stop him from moving, can you finish him off?"
"I'll gladly do it," he replied. "Let's go for it."
"Sheer Cold!" the White Genesis Ranger shouted. The mouth of her Megazord opened up, a bitterly cold wind rushing out that turned CyberPurrie into a giant moving ice sculpture.
"You… shall… not… stop… me…" he whispered, his lips barely able to move. "I… am… PURRIE!"
"Actually," Dice said. "You're about to be one sad cat. Stratospheric Disaster."
The H-Weather Megazord started to glow in three different colours, red, blue and green. From each of the glowing shades, a pulsating beam erupted out, hitting CyberPurrie full on.
He didn't even have chance to scream as the ice surrounding him shattered, taking him with it.
"So that guy was your rival?" Paige asked. "Or something like that. Didn't that get annoying?"
"A little," Dice admitted. "He sort of grew on me."
He then slapped his head in anger.
"Damnit, I can't believe I missed out on the chance of a genuine Purrie pelt. Could have made it into a rug."
Down below, Falco and Naomi continued to thin out the ranks of Blastbots approaching them, all while the Overload Megazord and the S-Dragon Megazord found themselves facing CyberMariner. The cyborg roared, opening his mouth to fire a Water Pulse towards the Overload Megazord. The robot took it in stride, moving in to punch the enemy in the face. CyberMariner tried to bite down onto its fist, forcing the S-Dragon Megazord to move in.
"Got your back!" Claire called, her own robot hitting the cyborg several times in the back. "And his."
"Funny," Duo commented.
"Can't use the Psycho Punch," Luke called, looking at the screen in front of him. "Part dark type I wager."
"If it's like any other Sharpedo," Nahir said. "Then there is something we can do." She hit a button. "Genesis Blaster."
A compartment at the side of the Vaporeon leg opened to reveal a giant blaster pistol. It brought it out and aimed it at CyberMariner.
"Charge Beam!" Nahir called. A beam of crackling electrical energy shot from the barrel and hit the cyborg in the back.
"And something else," Ryan offered. "Solar Beam!"
Another beam of energy shot from the weapon, also hitting CyberMariner. Burns covered his body now.
"You ready to take this thing down?" Claire asked. "I'll hold him down, we'll cut him to pieces."
"Like the plan," Xavier said. "Any plan that ends in glorious violence has to be a good one."
Claire hit a button in her cockpit. "Time Cannon."
The Dialga arm came up, firing a blast of energy that froze CyberMariner on the spot.
"After you," the Blue Lost Zone Ranger said.
"Genesis Staff!"
The Overload Megazord brought out a giant staff with a blade atop it. It began to glow with seven colours, the robot raising it up.
"Element Overload!"
Sweeping it out, the weapon crashed into CyberMariner, the blow overwhelming him. As he staggered back, Claire hit another button.
"Extra Dimensional Slash!"
Using the Palkia arm to hold the Palkia Wing Sword, the S-Dragon Megazord swung the sword at CyberMariner and a pink energy slash hit him. This time he went down and exploded.
"Always enjoyed this part," Luke commented.
The K-Bird Megazord and the Cosmo Megazord meanwhile were battling CyberHead. The mutant cyborg strode towards the K-Bird Megazord and fired a Charge Beam at it, the blast sending it reeling. Before he could follow up, the Cosmo Megazord came in and grabbed him from behind.
"You're not going anywhere!" Max shouted. "You guys okay?"
"Five by five," Julia called. "David?"
"Yeah, I'm good," the Red Lost Zone Ranger said. "If you guys can roast him and toast him, that'll help. A lot."
"Might have just the thing," Diana said. "Hit it, Max."
"Fire Bomb Blast!"
Cannons emerged from the chest of the Cosmo Megazord, sending a rake of fireballs crashing into CyberHead. He screeched and turned towards the Cosmo Megazord, firing a Flash Cannon into the giant robot. As it exploded against the Megazord, Julia gave the command.
"Let's hit him with a Trinity Blast," she said, punching a button in front of her. In his own cockpit, David did the same.
At that, the K-Bird Megazord's head and arms began to glow. The Megazord's head glowed red, the right arm yellow and the left arm blue. The Megazord fired the three energy glows in the shape of a triangle at CyberHead, striking him full on with a combined Fire, Electric and Ice attack.
"And this should really mess him up," Sandy said, going for an attack of her own. "Cyber Pulse!"
The Porygon arm of the Megazord rose up, shooting out a bright blue beam towards CyberHead who took the attack in the face.
"Six Wing Shuriken!" David yelled. "Activate!"
The six wings detached themselves from the back of the K-Bird Megazord, forming into a six pointed weapon which the Megazord held in its hand.
"Nice," Nick said. "We'll join in. Star Blade!"
A giant sword appeared in the hands of the Cosmo Megazord. The two robots began to circle CyberHead.
"We not giving him a chance to surrender?" Lily wondered. "Just checking we're not starting to do that now. Star Blade Assault!"
"Trinity Slash!" Julia yelled.
The wings on the Six Wing Shuriken all began to glow in their respective colours as the K-Bird Megazord hurled it through the air at CyberHead. The Star Blade began to glow with a bright white light, before the Cosmo Megazord slashed out five times at CyberHead. With the two attacks landing at the same time, he was obliterated where he stood.
"Yeah!" Max yelled, punching he air. "That's teamwork. And proof that being a cyborg is so overrated."
Sandy reached over and punched him on the arm.
As the last cyborg went down, Nixysis howled in anger and leaped from his speeder.
"What are you doing?" the voice demanded. "Get back here or…"
"I'll kill them myself!" he roared, going for Falco and Naomi. In his desperation, he knocked the few remaining Blastbots aside, not caring as they shattered on the ground. Falco turned to face him, only to be hit with a Superpower attack, the blow sending him crashing through the air.
"Falco!" Max yelled. "Sir!"
"You know what," David offered. "I think I know what this guy needs. Little bit of red ranger justice."
"I'm game if you two are," Katie said, watching Naomi start to battle Nixysis. "Let's get this on!"
David got to the ground first, jumping for the K-Bird Megazord. He flung a kick at the Syodian, knocking him away from Naomi.
"Thanks," the Latias Ranger muttered. "Shame I can't join in that red ranger justice."
"Thought you were a white ranger," Max commented. "Then again, suppose you got some red on your suit."
"Naomi," Katie said. "See if you can get to the Genesis Book on foot. Go! Now! We'll take care of Nixysis."
"Yes ma'am!"
Max went first, bringing out the shield from his belt.
"Rock King Battlizer!" he roared. At his command, the shield began to glow with a bright red light, the energy spreading back across him. New red armour began to appear across his body, armour resembling a Tyranitar's skin materialising on his chest, arms, shoulders and legs, huge spikes rising up out of them. The design on his helmet changed from an Infernape to a Tyranitar and a sword appeared in his hand shaped like the tail of the rock type Pokémon. The visor of the helmet glowed with a bright red light and a pattern of flames appeared around the centre of the chest piece of the armour. Claws erupted from the boots.
Then Katie stepped forward, a red glider materialising in the air high above her.
"Thank you, Dorlinda," she muttered. "Hunter Glider!"
As the vehicle in question came swooping down, Katie leaped up into the air to secure herself in. Her morpher glowing with a red light, light that transformed into energy that washed over and across her, soon metamorphising into flames. Flames that quickly faded away, as the transformation began. The red energy at her morpher spreading out across her body, she momentarily transformed into a living rendition of a Charizard. Similar to the way that she did when morphing into her Zord form, it only lasted for a second before she returned back to ranger form. Only with some new armour visible, the Charizard's head remaining, her helmet within its mouth with the rest of the face surrounding it. The wings of the Hunter Glider became part of her body, taking on the constitution of Charizard wings. Under her suit, her muscles grew larger, while a cream coloured oval formed on her stomach. Across her chest, a metallic silver band came across, while her gloves and boots hardened and grew claws at the end. The claws on her gloves extended out over her fingers as she landed and took a fighting stance.
Finally, David took a deep breath. "Let's prime it up!"
The spirit of a Groudon engulfed the Red Lost Zone Ranger. The flames on the Red Ranger suit disappeared as the black Groudon symbols covered the Red Ranger's suit. The Charizard Helmet underwent a metamorphosis into a Groudon Helmet.
"That's…" Max started to ask. "That's it all?"
"Nope," David smirked. Reaching around to his back, he brought out a Cherish Ball. "Check this out. Let's go, Red King! Rapidash Rider!"
A lone Rapidash burst from the ball, transforming into an armoured form as it ran towards the Red Lost Zone Ranger.
"Time for us to unite!" David shouted as the two of them jumped into the air.
The black Groudon markings on the Red Ranger suit changed to blue while the Mechanical Rapidash split apart. The four limbs opened up to form arm and leg guards that instantly attached themselves to David's arms and legs. The head merged with David's helmet while the body forms additional armour that covered David's upper torso. On the back of the body armour, there was an emblem of three orbs coloured Red, Blue and Green.
"You don't scare me!" Nixysis screamed, holding both hands in front of him. "I'll squash you like the firebugs you are."
A giant orange orbed formed in front of him, the Syodian launching the Psycho Boost towards the three red rangers.
"I got it!" Max exclaimed. "Protect!"
Slamming his sword into the ground, a huge stone barrier rose up in front of them, taking the blast square on. It didn't even break against Nixysis' attack.
"Now Rock Blast!" the Red Cosmo Ranger shouted.
At his command, the barrier shattered, buffering the Syodian with a barrage of rock. Staggering back, he howled in pain as Katie took to the sky. Swooping down on him, she extended out her claws.
"Hunter Slash!"
The Syodian took the attacks, staggering even more. He almost fell, dropping down to one knee, but managed to get back up.
David came charging forward. In one hand, a giant broad sword appeared, in the other a large cannon shaped like a Rapidash's head.
"Blaze Buster!" he yelled, swinging the weapon up into Nixysis who was thrown back by the force of the blow. As he picked himself up, the three red rangers stood to face him.
"You're going down for good," Katie said. "Ready to finish this clown off?"
"Oh yeah!" David said, aiming the Rapidash Cannon at the Syodian. Max aimed his sword at the creature without saying anything.
"Ready!" David shouted.
"Aim!" Katie continued.
"Fire!" Max finally yelled. "Dark Boulder Blast!"
"Hunter Beam!"
"Overheat Cannon!"
A blast of unforgiving flames shot from David's Rapidash Cannon. A multi-coloured beam of energy erupted from Katie's visor. And from Max's sword, a barrage of huge boulders, each crackling with a midnight black energy rushed towards Nixysis. All the attacks hit him at the same time and he screamed as he exploded, leaving only a prison card with his details on the ground where he'd stood.
"That's red ranger power," Max said, the other rangers having left their zords to come running over. "Enjoy the show guys?"
"Meh, seen it before," Duo said. "Two thirds of it anyway."
"Nice work," Falco said. "All of you. We've stopped a great threat here."
Glancing around, Katie saw that Naomi wasn't the only one missing from the group.
"Hey?" she asked. "What happened to Paige?"
"Ah, she went to go help Naomi with checking out the facility," Dice said. "Didn't you hear her say she was doing that?"
"Little busy," Katie replied.
"And looking good too," Sandy offered. "Think your Battlizer is cooler than Max's."
"Hey!" Max protested. "No, it isn't."
"Guys, guys, guys," David said. "We all know mine's the coolest. Since I can mimic any red ranger weapon or Battlizer attack ever, thanks to the Adaptable system."
"Even the Horn Sabre?" Crane asked.
"Especially the Horn Sabre," David smirked. "Heat Blasters, Torch Sword, Cinder Sabre… You name it. Overtech Sword, once owned by Claire's favourite person."
"Ah," Xavier said. "Was that the cake throwing?"
"Where'd you hear about the cake throwing?" Claire asked, looking at her fellow blue ranger. "All these years after and I'm still not living that down."
"You were chased by stormtroopers," Emma pointed out. "It's not like that's something people forget."
"Hey, that wouldn't be a problem," Ryan said. "Just tell them you're not the scientist they're looking for."
"You know," Lily said dryly. "Ever feel like you're missing out on so much of the conversation."
Naomi had found the labs. Pushing open the door, she'd gone inside, immediately seeing the Genesis Book resting on a pedestal. Next to it, the counter read ninety eight percent. What it was ninety eight percent doing, she didn't know, but hurrying inside, she could have sworn she heard a laugh from somewhere.
"You going to pick it up?"
Glancing around, she saw Paige coming into the room.
"What you doing here?" she asked, already at the console. "No Blastbots or anything. Easy retrieval."
"Thought there might be," the White Genesis Ranger said. "Guess not. You going to pick it up?"
Drawing a deep breath, Naomi reached out and placed a hand on the book. No sooner had her fingers brushed against it, she screamed as something rushed through her body, something she couldn't explain. Paige was on her in a second, throwing her back and trying to grab the book herself, only to suffer from the same problem.
Both of them soon recovered, the two rangers looking at each other to see glowing violet eyes visible beneath their helmets. Both of them removed their helmets, the glowing eyes becoming more visible as they looked at each other.
"Perfect," Paige said in a voice that sounded nothing like her own. "Exactly the one I wanted."
"And I'm stuck with the lesser one," Naomi grumbled, her voice not her own. "As usual."
"You are lesser," Paige smirked. "Now how about we go and say hello to our friends. Or should that be… enemies. A lot of payback is due on those rangers. And seeing them crushed at the hands of someone they thought to be their friend is just going to make it so much sweeter."
The rest of the rangers had started to make their way across to the factory, all demorphed, when they'd seen Paige and Naomi come towards them, their helmets back on.
"Hey!" Max shouted. "You guys get it?"
"Where is it?" Riku wondered. "Whatever it is?"
Neither of them responded.
"You know," Luke said. "I really got a bad feeling about this."
"Guys?" Julia asked. "You okay?"
"Oh, never better," Paige said, with a laugh. Transforming into her Ice Ball form, she flung herself towards the group, raking through her six fellow Genesis Rangers. As they went down, Naomi brought out the Ruby Staff.
"And one ranger is as bad as another!" she howled, firing a barrage of Mist Balls down towards the Lost Zone and Cosmo Rangers who flung themselves aside to evade the blast.
"I hate being right," Luke groaned. "Well, when it's like this. I love being right when I prove a point."
"What's with their voices?" Nick asked. "They sound different."
As one, the six Genesis Rangers all went pale.
"No!" Nahir shouted. "No, that's impossible. We've heard those voices before."
"Have you now?" Paige asked, reappearing in front of the Yellow Genesis Ranger. "Good for you!"
She kicked out and sent Nahir crashing up into the air.
"Fun, isn't it?" Naomi asked, looking up to the sky. Already, Iron Flygon was coming down towards her. "I always wanted to try this, Forsythia."
"Long as you use it to stomp them flat," Paige said, smirking under her helmet. "I really couldn't care, Ortari."
Author's Notes.
Eep… Bad stuff.
Naomi's evil again. What are the odds. And, technically, so's Paige.
Anyway, sorry about the delay, but hope it was worth it.
Thanks for the reviews. All appreciated.
Next one might be the last one. Or there might be one more after it.
But how are they going to get out of this one? Because it ain't going to be easy…
Anyway, thanks for reading.
Don't forget to review! Please!
