Vile stood in the shadows listening to Zack and Jason's interactions. He was glad that Zack had told Jason exactly what he was told to. As long as Jason thought he was just a prisoner all would be fine. He rubbed at his shoulder where Jason had gotten a good hit in when he and Jason and Tommy tried to fight him.
Tommy looked down for a moment and Vile started to move towards him when Jason rushed at him. Tommy immediately jumped into the fray and they both started attacking Vile. Vile was easily able to push Tommy off as Tommy was still very weak from his return to the 'living'.
He turned his full attention on his White Ranger. "Thomas is no match for me. Show me what you've got Jason." He challenged.
Jason called Saba and charged at Vile. Vile had forgotten that Tommy had gotten the sabre. It would make sense that Jason could call it. Vile flinched as the Sabre hit him hard in the shoulder. enough with the child's play. He thought.
He took his staff out and hit Jason square in the stomach making Jason go down gasping for air. Vile turned his attention back to Tommy and was surprised to see he was gone.
Tommy wouldn't have left Jason. He knew that. Where was he?
He didn't have to wait long as the teenager rematerialized in front of him in his Ninjetti suit.
This was absolutely not going the way he wanted. "Really?" he asked shaking his head. "That's all you got? A suit that you can't stay morphed in because I took it all from you."
There was a flash of light and Goldar appeared with Tengas.
He smiled. He watched as Jason and Tommy struggled with the Tengas or more like Tommy did. He was getting weak quickly. There was no doubt in his mind about it.
"Jase I can't…" Tommy said in a trembling voice.
"I got this bro."
That was the last thing the two said to each other before Vile blasted them both.
He walked away to the room where Tommy was. He hit a few buttons and entered the room. He looked at the machine readings. No change in the connection. He frowned. He looked closer at Tommy who, as usual, wasn't moving. The only sign that he was even alive was the gentle rise and fall of his chest.
He was keeping him unconscious. He really had no plan to ever wake him up. He was less trouble this way.
"Can you even hear me Thomas?" he asked the unconscious teenager.
No eye movement. There was absolutely no indication that Tommy could hear anything.
"I don't know why you don't just kill him!" Zedd thundered from the doorway. "Why keep him alive? As a vegetable?"
Vile looked at Tommy again. Nothing. This was going better than he had ever hoped.
He turned his attention to his son in law. Zedd just didn't get it. His goal was to kill the former White Ranger. He had no idea what this boy held. Or rather what held the boy here.
"Because I need to sever Oliver's connection to the morphing grid." He said matter of factly. He'd told both Rita and Zedd this a few times. "If we don't sever the connection, he'll find a way to interfere. Him being a vegetable as you call it is keeping him from interfering. It's keeping his mind at peace. But if you want him to keep interfering by all means Zedd go do it yourself." He said and moved aside. He knew Zedd wouldn't. if he did, he would have stopped him.
Zedd didn't say anything. He turned on his heel and left the room most likely to complain to Rita.
Vile grabbed one of Tommy's arms. He was actually the only one who could touch Tommy through the force field he had placed around the boy with his magic.
Ice cold.
He turned and left the room. He had to let Dark Spectre know how things were going on Earth and find out when he would be sending more of his army.
DDD
Adam stood watching as people got into the transport. He had tried to talk his mother into going but she wanted to stay to help rebuild the city.
He looked over at Rajon who stood there quietly talking to Ryan. Ryan had just hoisted Corey up into the transport. Charlotte Oliver was already in.
"Is your son going?" One of the National Guard asked as he checked off names.
Rajon shook his head. "I'm staying to help with rebuilding the city. I wanna help fight the monsters too."
Adam had to hide a smile. Things were so much different than weeks ago. Rito was now a teenager named Rajon. He was wanting to help fight Vile, Zedd, and Rita.
"Are you sure Rick?" Charlotte asked. "There's plenty of room at John's house." She was referring to her older brother John Rush.
"Nah. But thanks." He said and started to walk away.
"Where's my hug?" Charlotte asked. She got down from the transport and gave Rajon a hug before giving her husband a much bigger hug.
"Okay folks if that's everyone we gotta go." The Guardsmen that was going to drive the vehicle called.
The vehicle drove off.
Adam got into another vehicle with Billy. They were going to be in a vehicle that followed along to make sure no one attacked the transport.
Kat, Tanya, and Rocky left to go work on getting the Command Center back online. There was still so much to do.
