Hey everyone! As promised, here is the next update. I sincerely am trying my best to post an update every two weeks, so I hope you enjoy it!

With that, the teens ran out of Ernie's making their way towards the parking lot, where no doubt there was some havoc being wrecked. Sure enough, when they got there, Disvaluntine was already there, in all of his big, ugly glory. "You think you can enjoy Valentine's day?" He was taunting, his words directed at the mass of terrified people around them. He seemed to have not noticed the Power Rangers yet (which was good, they had the element of surprise on their side). They watched as he zapped a couple sitting at a table nearby at an outdoor cafe. There was a blaster in his hand and a large scythe in the other - terrifying to say the least.

The rangers let out identical gasps as the girl stood up abruptly, eyes flashing red. Immediately, she picked up the chair, proceeding to chase her terrified boyfriend around the parking lot. "Not anymore!" Satisfied with his work, Disvaluntine began to knock over tables and turn over cars and basically be a large nuisance. The rangers looked around, taking in the rest of the scene. Everyone was running and screaming. Some couples were chasing each other with whatever object they could find, seemingly set on the hatred that Disvaluntine conjured their love into. It was chaos.

"What in the world is going on?" Emma asked, glancing around with wide eyes at how utterly disorganized and strange everything was.

Noah shook his head in shock. "I get having some fights with your S.O. but this is just wack!"

Troy stepped forward, narrowing his eyes at the scene ahead of them. "This just means we have to stop this...Nighlok quickly."

"I'd prefer the Armada to this," Jake muttered, to which Gia swiftly nudged him.

"Ready when you guys are," the blond stated firmly, and Troy nodded.

"It's Morphin time! Go, go, Megaforce!" After inserting their power cards, all the rangers morphed, taking out their respective weapons. If Disvaluntine hadn't seen them before, he definitely noticed them now. Even the screaming crowd of people had given the rangers a wide berth. "Ah, Power Rangers!" Disvaluntine said grandly, sounding much too pleased to see them there. "Glad you could make it. I'll take great pleasure in destroying your team!"

"Not gonna happen," Troy said fiercely, gesturing towards the other rangers. "Let's split up. Emma and I will take the right, Gia and Jake, take the left, and Noah, take the center."

With nods, they began to leave before Noah held back, swiftly pulling Troy. "Might be a good idea to split up the couples," he whispered, chancing a glance towards Disvluntine who grinned at them, sharp scythe brandished.

Troy huffed a breath. "Good plan." He clapped Noah on the shoulder, gesturing with his Dragon Sword as he raised his voice. "Jake, Emma, take the left. Gia, Noah, take the right. I've got the center." Everyone voiced their agreement, and they rushed into the fight. The rangers kept landing blow after blow, taking quite a few hits as well. Disvaluntine seemed to be hyped up on energy, no doubt garnered by the many couples he had broken up in his short time being there. One thing was clear - this was a villain unlike anything they had ever faced.

Disvaluntine laughed darkly, as if this entire fight was but a mere inconvenience on his mission. Somehow, that made the fight all the more difficult. The rangers gritted their teeth, continuing to fight back, all the while hoping the couples in the area (and general civilians as well) had gotten to safety. Noah was only praying that the two couples within their force would be able to keep from exposing themselves - now that would be deadly indeed. "Where is your weakness?" Disvaluntine pried, as Troy narrowly avoided a swing of the other's scythe. "A bunch of teenagers playing hero. There's got to be some love there! Because if I've learned anything about humans, it's that human teenagers are the stupidest of all, thinking they've found the one," he mocked.

Troy nodded to Jake as the two landed a double attack, effectively causing some damage to the Nighlok. "Yeah?" He called out, trying to keep the smugness out of his voice. After all, he couldn't jinx the fight early on. "Well if there's one thing you should know about these teenagers is that we're all a team."

Unfortunately, this had little effect on the monster, who simply got back up with his maniacal grin. "Don't worry, I know how to tell what real love is. Real love means sacrifice. In this dangerous game you kids are trying to play, I just have to see who you'd sacrifice everything for." He turned abruptly, shooting a couple who had been hiding in the bushes nearby (that the rangers had somehow missed). "Like I said, humans are so stupid."

Noah grunted, rubbing at his arm where he'd been a little too slow to move away from the scythe. "We're a team. We'd all sacrifice anything for each other. That's what teams - what friends - do." Disvaluntine simply continued to grin his unnerving grin, jabbing and swinging at the rangers as if they were merely flies he were swatting, lying in wait of something else...something bigger...something...

All of a sudden, he moved, quick as lightning (quicker than the rest of them even knew he was capable of) his scythe jabbed right towards Troy, who didn't have enough time to move back in time (a scream lodged in Emma's thoat at the sight) - only to swiftly change directions, doing a 180 to head for Jake's heart. Before any of the others could react, Gia seemed to spot it, crying out loudly. "Jake!" With that, she jumped, tackling the black ranger to the ground and safely out of range of the scythe. The only damage was an inch or so of blond hair that hadn't been fast enough to miss the blade.

Collapsed on Jake's chest, Gia groaned, lifting her head. Both the rangers panted for breath, heartbeat racing at the near-death experience. Finally, the yellow ranger seemed to realize where she had landed and quickly moved to the side, though her glare never left his eyes. "You diot!" She whisper-yelled, hitting his shoulder. "Be careful!" But there was no malice in the words, only relief, and...and…

"I've found the couple."

So, I hope that was a satisfying update, and I'll see you all in another 2 weeks. Until then, leave a like and a comment, and stay safe out there!
