Dreams 2: Blue Wolf Rising
Chapter 7: Endangered Wolves
The Astro Megaship landed on Earth with the others waiting to meet them. Everyone was glad to see that Toran was okay, but they were appalled to learn that Mesagog was in fact Anton Mercer.
"You knew the whole time, didn't you!" Connor accused.
"My father...he's being controlled. I didn't know what to do," Trent pleaded.
"We should have never trusted you," Connor replied.
"Connor, it's not Trent's fault. He was just trying to protect his father. If Anton is being controlled by evil, then it's not completely his fault either," Billy replied.
"Billy's right, I know first hand what it's like to be controlled by evil," Tommy said.
"Me too," Kat added.
"I'm sorry Trent, I shouldn't have blew up at you like that," Connor apologized.
"It's okay, you have a right to be angry," Trent replied.
"I think it would be a good idea for us to all go home and get some rest. Then we can meet tomorrow and discuss what to do," Billy suggested.
"I think that's a good idea," Kim seconded.
"Why don't we all meet in Angel Grove Park around noon for a picnic then," Aisha suggested.
"Sounds good," Tommy replied. The others agreed and the rangers parted ways for the night.
"What do you have planned father?" Rita asked.
"First, I must come up with a plan to get Billy away from earth," Vile replied.
"Getting Billy to leave his family will be next to impossible," Rita said.
"Yes, that is why I have created a phony distress plea from Delphine on Aquitar. Billy will receive this and leave to help them because it is the right thing to do. Then, I will alert the Cyrians of Billy's location and they will capture him. They are still sore about his escape all those years ago. That takes Billy out of the picture and then I will abduct Katherine," Vile explained.
"Ingenious father," Rita replied.
Billy and Kat tucked their sleepy children into bed and decided to retire to their room for the night. Billy wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her passionately.
"I love you wolf-boy," Kat said. He stopped kissing her neck to look into her eyes.
"I love you too angel-girl," he replied, before he resumed kissing and nipping at her neck. Kat began unbuttoning his shirt and feathered her fingers over his firm chest. Billy pulled her shirt off and resumed kissing her hungrily. He slowly led her to the bed where they made love.
The next morning, Kat and Billy readied their kids and arrived at Angel Grove park. The gang enjoyed a picnic together. Unfortunately, one of Mesagog's monsters interrupted the day. After it was defeated, they all convened at Tommy's house to discuss things. This is when a disturbing transmission came through.
"We're being hailed, but I can't pinpoint from where," Hayley said. Billy looked at what she was seeing.
"Open it, it's from Aquitar," Billy announced.
"Rangers of Earth, this is Delphine, white Aquitian ranger. We are up against a new enemy and we are being overwhelmed. We request the aid of Billy Cranston. Please see that he receives this transmission,"
The transmission ended and all eyes landed on Billy.
"Billy, are you going to go?" Tommy asked.
"As much as I don't want to, I can't turn them down," Billy replied. Kat understood his decision and gave him a long kiss.
"I hate leaving you and the kids," Billy told her.
"I know, but they need your help and we can't turn them down," Kat replied. Billy smiled at her and kissed her. They went home that evening and the next morning, everyone arrived to see Billy's shuttle off. Billy kissed his wife longingly, promising her that he would return. He then kissed his son and daughter, promising them the same thing. Billy entered the ship and left the earth's atmosphere, leaving friends and family behind.
"Perfect, he's left earth. I have already alerted the Cyrians and they should be picking him up in a few hours," Vile said darkly.
"So what now dad?" Rito asked.
"We wait until Katherine and her brats are alone tonight and then I will retrieve her personally. I will leave the oldest brat behind, but I will probably have to bring that baby since she hardly puts the child down," Vile said.
"I will help take care of her father," Rita offered.
"I thought you didn't like children," Vile inquired.
"I don't mind them at all anymore," Rita insisted. The truth was that the spell on Rita was already fading. But she couldn't let on at all, for her father would dispose of her. If her father was going to bring a child into this, then she would see to the well being of Kat and Billy's daughter. She didn't want to be evil anymore, but at the moment she really had no choice.
Kat tucked Toran into bed and shut his door. She felt a little uneasy in the big house without Billy since they had rarely spent any nights apart in their seven years of marriage. She picked Larisa up out of her playpen and sat down to give her a bottle before she would put her down for the night. Suddenly, Kat heard a noise coming from the kitchen. She cradled Larisa and slowly got up from the couch. She crept softly toward the direction of the noise and screamed when she saw a man standing there.
"Don't be scared my dear, I won't hurt you," the middle-aged man said.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" Kat yelled, as she slowly backed away.
"Mama, what's wrong?" Toran called, as he ran down the stairs, having heard his mother's scream. The boy saw the stranger and instinctively got into fighting stance in front of his mother and sister.
"Well, well, if it isn't a miniature Billy," the man joked.
"How do you know my husband?" Kat questioned.
"He knows all of you," a woman said, as she appeared.
"Rita?" Kat questioned. At that moment she froze in horror as the realization hit her.
"No, it can't be," she uttered.
"Who is he mama and how does he know us?" Toran asked.
"Yes my dear Katherine, it is me," he revealed.
"You're supposed to be dead," Kat cried.
"I am supposed to be, but only my ugly mutant shell was turned to dust. I was given this human form and I managed to survive. Those years ago, when you faced me during Lothor's attack, that was only an evil incarnate. I was in fact back in the M51 galaxy where I was been plotting this very moment," he replied.
"Who are you?" Toran asked bravely.
"You certainly are your father's son. My name is Master Vile and I have come to claim your mother as my own," he replied evilly.
"Stay away from my mom!" Toran yelled.
"Move aside brat or I'll have to hurt you," Vile threatened.
"No, leave him alone," Kat pleaded. Suddenly, Rito appeared and knocked Toran unconscious.
"Toran!" Kat cried, but Vile restrained her, while Rita took Larisa from her arms.
"No!" Kat cried, as she tried to fight Vile. He held her arms tightly and forced her to the floor where he shackled her wrists. He pulled her up roughly and turned her to face him.
"I've had enough of your resistance. This time it is pointless to do anything by obey me," Vile said.
"Never. Billy may be on Aquitar, but once he finds out, he'll in your face so fast that you won't know what bloody hit you!" Kat screamed and struggled.
"Oh, but that's where you're wrong my dear. You see, your husband is not on Aquitar. That little message was fake and orchestrated by me. Right now, your husband is back in the hands of the Cyrians and will be executed in three days," Vile said. Tears streamed down Kat's cheeks.
"Billy..." she cried.
"You will be coming with us now and I will have Rita bring the baby. I'm afraid we'll have to leave your son behind. He's too much like his father and will only cause me problems," Vile said, as he gagged Kat and disappeared with her. Rita and Rito followed with baby Larisa. Little did Vile know, Toran had only pretended to be unconscious. He had heard everything and quickly scrambled up to the telephone. He dialed a number and waiting impatiently for the other end to pick up.
"Uncle Hunter, it's me," Toran said frantically.
"What's wrong Tor," Hunter asked.
"Mama and Larisa have been kidnaped!" Toran cried.
"Do you know by who?" Hunter asked.
"He said his name was Master Vile. Mama said he's supposed to be dead, but he's not. And he said that the message from Aquitar was fake," Toran reported.
"Then where's your father?" Hunter asked and then heard a sob from the little boy.
"He said...my daddy's been captured by the...Cyri...Cyri," Toran stuttered.
"The Cyrians?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah and he said my daddy is going to die," Toran cried.
"Okay, stay right there Toran. Aunt Tori and I are coming to get you and then we'll get the other rangers and figure out how to save your parents," Hunter told him.
"Okay," Toran replied, as he hung up the phone.
Billy pulled at the chains. He couldn't believe that he had been captured by the Cyrians again. This time they were promising to execute him, but last time they had captured him, he didn't have access to his full Ninjetti powers. This time, they would have something on their hands. Billy had a terrible feeling that Kat and his kids were in trouble and nothing would keep him apart from them.
