Chapter 5

Olympious had decided to stop spying on his mother for the time being. He turned around only to be greeted by Zeltrax.

"What the hell are you doing?" The cyborg asked.

"That's none of your damn business. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get some rest." Olympious moved to the side but was blocked by Zeltrax's arm. The Prince was beginning to get irritated.

"Move."

"I asked you a question. I expect you to answer it." Olympious began to reach for his sword when Vypra interrupted them.

"Your Majesty, your mother would like to have a word with you." She kept her eye on Zeltrax. The two left to see what Bansheera wanted. Zeltrax was going to have a lot of fun messing with their minds.

The moon shined bright as Lothor practiced his unique style of Kung Fu on the shores of the bay. All he could think about was getting back at Mesagog. He wanted him to pay with his life. Vexacus walked out of the cave onto the shore. He noticed Lothor but didn't dare bother him. That old bastard Diabolico had taken his pride away. The only other person that had defeated him in battle was the Red Wind Ranger. Statistically, he was the best warrior on the team, but he so easily beaten. There was only one way for him to settle it.

Olympious and Vypra walked into the Queen's room. She lay in bed with the covers over everything but her face.

"Mother, you wish to speak with me?" He asked

"Yes. Vypra, leave us." She nodded and left the bedroom. The Queen soon turned her attention back to her son. "Why were you spying on Mesagog and I?" Olympious wasn't shocked about her knowing. She could feel somebody's life energy from a mile away if she concentrated enough. He walked to his mother's bedside and sat.

"Mother, I really think that you should call this deal off with Mesagog. I don't trust him."

"You think I do? I'm just waiting for him to put his guard down. That's when I'll strike and this empire of his will be all ours." The prince smiled.

"I should have known that you had a plan." What the two hadn't noticed was a camera in the far corner of the bedroom. On the other end was Mesagog sitting in a chair with Zeltrax standing by him.

"I knew they couldn't be trusted. Should I kill them now?" Zeltrax couldn't wait to get that brat out of here.

"No. I will just lead them on until Lothor is defeated. That's when I'll kill the bitch."

Diabolico watched as the humans got back into their tents for sleep. He felt someone poke him in the back. He turned to see a batling. It handed him a note. He read it carefully and smiled.

..................................................................................................................

Diabolico walked through the dark Angel Grove Park. The note told him to come here.

"So, I see the note got to you." Vexacus said coming from behind a tree.

"I came to duel, not to talk." The demon snapped. The two got into their fighting positions and ran at each other full speed. They grappled each other using every bit of strength they had in them to take the other down. Vexacus fell to his knee and Diabolico quickly kicked him in the face sending him rolling into a tree. Vexacus held his face as he tried to recover from the brutal hit. The demon walked over and picked him up by the arm as he threw a punch. Vexacus retaliated by getting a quick punch in his abdomen causing Diabolico to stumble. He gave another punch to the abs and one to the face. Diabolico gave a backhand to Vexacus and kicked him in the chest sending him flying into a park bench causing him to break it. He lay still while Diabolico walked over.

Motordrone and Chubo over who should lead the next attack. It was beginning to get childish and Lothor became annoyed.

"That's enough! Chubo, you'll lead the next attack, ok!" Motordrone walked out of the room. Lothor followed.

"Hey," He said stopping the mechanical warrior, "When I give an order you don't get mad, you deal with it. Now the next time you pull some shit like that, I'll kill you, you hear me?" Motordrone simply nodded and walked away to his chamber. Lothor began to walk back when he noticed something: Where was Vexacus?

..................................................................................................................

Diabolico picked up Vexacus and threw him into the park fountain, crushing the stone sculpture of the angel spitting water. The fish-like warrior rose to his feet again only to be knocked down by the demons eye lasers. Surprisingly, Vexacus rose again and drew his jagged sword barely able to stand on his own two feet. Diabolico was a bit inspired by his will power.

"You might as well put the sword down. You have no balance and you are entirely to weak to wield a sword." Vexacus said nothing. He just stared. "Fine, I'll just kill you." Diabolico drew his sword and glowed with yellow. He threw the light of energy at Vexacus and there was a huge explosion. "That wasn't worth my time." He told himself. He began to turn when he saw something red in the smoke. Before he could realize what it was, it shot him directly in the stomach putting a gigantic hole through him. He fell back and exploded. When the smoke cleared, Lothor stood holding Vexacus up.

Bansheera had just woke up in her room. The sunlight through the one window shined on her bed. The door opened. It was Zeltrax with a plate of food.

"Good Morning my Queen. Here, Mesagog wants you to have breakfast in bed." He handed the plate to her and was about to leave when the Queen said, "At least you're good for something." He stopped in his tracks and was beginning to draw his sword when he felt heat in his body. He looked down to see lasers going through his circuits. He fell to his knees, and hit the floor.

"One down, one to go!"
