This is the second-to-last chapter in Book II.

Trivia: At various times Goldar, Rito, Elgar, and Jindrax all had the same suit actor, Danny Wayne Stallcup. He was also Jindrax's voice actor.

Scorpina looked out the window as the car containing Farkas Bulkmeier and their children drove away.

"Are you sure we can trust him with our children?"

"He and his friend Skull took me and Rito in. And once he raised Skull's son for about two years. Our kids are in good hands."

"If Master Org is not stopped none of us will be safe," Toxica said. "You said that your leaders are pure evil? The Power Rangers need us as spies inside their camp. We must find out what they are planning to do with this United Army of Evil."

Goldar sat next to Rito on the couch, "There will most likely be a power grab by Havoc when this is all over, assuming we win. He is the Supreme Commander of all our forces, good and evil against Master Org. Havoc got that position because he knows more about Orgs than Tommy or SPD's Supreme Commander Cruger. I still think it was Havoc and not Master Org who sent Zeltrax to attack Tommy and get a rival out of the way."

Jindrax, crouched next to the TV, sounded angry. "Toxica and me know more about Orgs than King Havoc. We are Orgs!"

"But you're not military commanders. He's only been King Havoc for the last twelve years. He was General Havoc for millennia before that. We've got to get Lord Zedd to notice what Havoc is doing, keep the evil forces divided after this battle," Goldar said.

Rito stared off into the distance. It had been twelve years since he had last seen his sister, his father, or his nephew. Would they be angry with him? Would his father, who was very old for a monster, still be alive?

"I guess now's the time to find out how Ed will take what we have to say to him."

They all teleported to Rita and Zedd's palace on the moon, materializing in the hallway leading to Zedd's Chamber of Command. They could hear Zedd ranting. Goldar felt a chill in his stomach. The last time he had seen his master, Zedd had threatened to take control of his and Scorpina's minds. As Jindrax had once told Scorpina, how Rita and Zedd treated them was Rita and Zedd's failing. They were now, however, in their former mistress and master's lair. The two might not respond well to good behavior on the reformed monsters parts. How would Zedd react now that he and Scorpina were returning? Would Rito's blood relation to Rita make her more merciful to him or make her take his betrayal even worse?

"That brat Olympius should have been satisfied with being the Grand Monarch of Evil. We finally had a system where everyone's ambitions could be satisfied, but no! He had to eat the Org seeds and unleash a force that cares nothing about ruling the universe, only destroying it," Zedd ranted.

"I think it all had to do with his unresolved issues with Bansheera. He wanted to be more powerful than she ever was and more evil."

"Rita, I know when you're trying to give me coded signals. I think you're making your point too strongly. I've never abandoned Thrax in the Shadow World. Besides I want Thrax to become more powerful and evil than I am. What disturbs me is his devotion to your father. I thought when the old coot died, he'd finally listen to some fatherly advice—"

"Dad!" Rito said aloud. The cold feeling in Goldar's gut exploded into tremors across his entire body.

Rito walked forward into the open.

"You dare to return, traitor?" Zedd rose from his throne and aimed his staff at Rito.

"Oh, for crying out loud, Zedd! Rito is family."

Rito turned his gaze to his sister. Rita was not exactly glad to see him, but she didn't want to vaporize him just yet either.

"So you've finally decided that monkey-boy and his scorpion girlfriend were less important than family."

"They were never more important than family, but they didn't see each other as soulless tools. Now what has happened to my father?"

Rita looked into Rito's eyes with a mixture of anger and grieving. "It was his esophagus… Years of creating monsters like the Blue Globber took their toll on him and a hole in his esophagus kept him from eating, Finster prepared IVs for him and that kept him alive for a few weeks. He died cursing everyone except Thrax."

"When did this happen?" Rito asked.

"A year ago next Tuesday." Rita said.

"I thought I'd get my son back," Zedd said.

Rito felt tears well up. "Did he think I betrayed him?"

"Weren't you listening!" Zedd snapped. "He cursed everyone but Thrax!"

"What brings you here, Rito? Did you just now start to miss us?" Rita said mocking him.

"I always missed you. We came now to warn you about General Havoc!"

"We?" Rita asked, and Goldar knew it could be delayed no longer. Goldar stepped into the Chamber of Command followed by Scorpina, Toxica and Jindrax.

"So, the traitors return!" Zedd said. "Who are your new friends?"

"Jindrax, Duke of Orgs, Master of Blades, at your service." Jindrax drew multiple knives in one hand and bowed.

"Toxica, Duchess of Orgs, Mistress of Magic."

"There's only one Mistress of Magic around here, sister," Rita said.

"General Havoc is trying to use the situation with Master Org to take supreme command of all forces opposed to him in the universe!" Goldar said.

"As well he should, he's the forces of evil's greatest strategic commander," Zedd said.

"But he will try to take Trakeena's place as Grand Monarch when all this Master Org nonsense is over!" Goldar pleaded.

"Why should I care if…" Zedd stopped talking and processed what Goldar had just said. "Trakeena's daughter is the granddaughter of Scorpius, Divatox, and Queen Bansheera, and she'll be an adult in only five years. If she married our Thrax, and we got rid of her brother, then we'd have the strongest claim on the Grand Monarchy!" Zedd felt electricity crackling between his fingers.

"We just have to pretend to follow Havoc until then," Rita finished Zedd's train of thought for him.

"We are brilliant, my little prickly pear." Zedd embraced Rita.

"Now that you know, consider us gone!" Goldar said.

"Oh, I don't think so!" Zedd told Goldar. "The forces of good and evil in the universe are aligning to take down Master Org and his minion, the Machine King Deviot. We all know that good and evil cannot mix. This alliance will crumble the moment Master Org is gone. You were probably sent here by the Power Rangers to undermine our loyalty to King Havoc. You succeeded, but we will betray Havoc in our own time and in our own way, and no one on Earth will know a thing about it until it's too late. I'm sending you to my dark dimension until I know what to do with you." Zedd fired white energy from his staff and Goldar, Scorpina, Rito, Toxica, and Jindrax disappeared.

Rita walked toward the Repulsascope and looked through it at the community of reformed monsters. The sight made her sick.

"I'd love to take an army down there and smash Turtle Hills like a mashed potato."

"I'd rather hold them hostage; the town's safety as the price of Goldar and his friends' silence. We can always say they were housing Orgs."

"Won't Havoc get suspicious if we destroyed a town?"

Zedd stroked his chin. "We need not even actually plan to destroy the town. Merely tell Goldar that that is our plan." Zedd sat back down.

"Why don't you just take control of their minds?"

"Would you let me take over Rito's?"

"Of course not."

"Then we will stick to threats and intimidations. I intend to have them work for us again, and the idea that they would get word to Havoc about our plans to usurp him is unlikely, at first."

Rita followed Zedd's logic. "The Rangers' would want our plans secret until we could pose enough of a threat to Havoc that he'd know anyway."

"But that won't be the way it happens. We will get Divatox, Scorpius, and Havoc's long suffering wife on our side and paint Trakeena as a victim. We'll make sure that the universe sees Havoc as the usurper."


On the Machine asteroid base in the Kirat Galaxy, Master Org waited for Deviot to enter his chamber. When the Machine King did so, he asked, "Do you have it?"

Deviot produced a small orb for Master Org.

"A mixture of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen" Deviot said. "But I wonder, Sir, how can you vitalize it without the Princess's necklace?"

"Your nuclear reactors should provide all the energy I need. Come." Master Org took the orb in his hand and left through the door that Deviot just entered. He walked down the stairs rather than take the elevator. He loved to hear the sounds of liquids bubbling and machines releasing steam because he knew that if this were an inhabited world the things going on here would kill all non-Org life.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be faster to simply take the elevator?"

Master Org looked at Deviot and said, "You are a machine. You can only see and hear, but I feel all my senses exhilarated by the quality of pollution produced here. I want to make the entire universe like this asteroid."

When they reached the reactor Master Org looked at the massive yellow sphere and placed his empty hand on it.

"This fusion reactor would have the power to destroy or irradiate all human life in a fifty mile radius."

"If it did that, we wouldn't have the energy to maintain this base."

"You discovered the technology to split the atom once. You can do it again. Right now there is a third use for this reactor." Master Org tightened his grip around the orb and began transferring energy from the reactor through his body and into the orb. Slowly the orb began to glow. Then suddenly it stopped glowing only to resume glowing a second later and repeated stop and begin again until a pulsing rhythm was established. Then orb itself moved as if it were organic.

It is organic, Deviot reminded himself.

"Org Heart, beat once more!"

As the Org Heart beat in his hand, Master Org said, "Deviot, consult with Mandilok."

With this command Deviot ran and took the elevator.

Master Org opened his mouth and swallowed the Org Heart whole. He felt nausea upon swallowing it but bit those feelings back until he entered a sensation of complete relaxation. Slowly, his current body, which was nothing more than a toxin resistant modification of Olympius's dragon form, began to turn to dust and crumble away. But the beating Org Heart secreted fluid into the dust which changed it into a paste. The paste enveloped the heart and began to solidify into a new form. A new dragon stood where the old had been. Where Olympius's scales were red, his were white. Where Olympius had gold plating, he had purple. He still contained Olympius's memories, as well as Viktor Adler's, but he was Master Org. He laughed maniacally at having a pure Org form once again. He also felt power like never before. He could feel the different types of gama and theta and a hundred other kinds of radiation that his breath could cause third-degree burns from over sixty miles away. The age of Humanity was over. The day of the Org had come.
