Part 12
**Outside the caves**
Tara appeared near the mouth of the cave. "It is done. The girls are out of the way."
"Excellent," said Rita, appearing on top of the rocks. "We must continue to divide the Rangers and then you will reveal yourself to the Green Ranger and I will have my revenge!" She cackled. "Go hide yourself. They'll be here any minute."
Tara ducked behind a rock and created a shield so she couldn't be seen but could follow the Rangers if needed. She felt a slight twinge of pain in her head. "Oh, no you don't," she said, and grasped the pendant slightly. It glowed and the pain ebbed away.
A few minutes passed and she heard a whooshing sound. Tommy, Jason, Zack and Billy appeared near the mouth of the cave and went inside. Tara followed, quietly.
Billy passed around a few flashlights. "This place is enormous," he said, peering down all the various passages.
"We should split up," said Jason. "Cover more ground that way."
"Right," said the others.
"Keep alert," added Tommy. "Who knows what could be in here."
Tara thought for a moment. It would take too much time to take them one by one. So, she decided to lure Tommy back outside and then launch her plan. She ran back outside. "My queen," she called. "I have an idea but I need your help."
A/N: Short, yes. Sorry. Getting closer to the finale, though!
