Thanks for the correction! It was Chip who said the "even Xander" part. But anyway, chapter two, be amazed!

Xander sat down on a rock, wiping at his eyes to keep the tears from forming. He sighed, looking up at the sky. He'd always been taught to be friendly, outgoing. Maybe he was a little overly friendly sometimes, but he really believed that almost any altercation could be solved by talking out the problems. Sure it hadn't worked yet, but that just because the bad guys didn't give him half a chance before trying to blow him and the team up. He got up, walking from the rock dejectedly as he thought about them. He hadn't really gotten along with Nick, but that was just because Nick was new and he wasn't good at meeting new people. But he had always thought Vida and Madison and Chip considered him their friend. He'd just been proved wrong.
"I should turn over my Morpher and just vanish…" he muttered to himself.
"Why don't you turn it over to me, and I can help you with the vanishing part."
Xander turned in surprise, staring at the Bat Creature who was now behind him. He immediately backed up some more, making her cackle with laughter.
"Xander wasn't it? You look positively depressed, I hope you'll be somewhat of a challenge, I've been quite bored as of late."
"Necrolai! This is not a good time to bother me!" Xander yelled back at her, sounding much more confident than he felt. He quickly morphed into the Green Ranger, getting into a defensive pose and waiting for her to attack.
"Oh little Green Ranger, aren't you going to offer to talk me out of my intentions?" Necrolai laughed, her wings flaring open just a bit more.
Xander growled, launching himself forward, attacking the Bat creature with a flurry of kicks and punches, all of which Necrolai blocked while still cackling. Finally she got a nice hit on him, sending him flying into a tree. Xander hopped up, crying "Mystic Axe" and lunging at Necrolai again with his changed weapon, slashing at her. He actually got a hit on her, and she fell back, growling and her demeanor changing almost instantly.
"So, you aren't as pathetic as I thought." She said, her words laced with anger.
"Guess not." Xander countered, feeling a little bit better about himself. That didn't last long as she suddenly leapt into the air, slashing across his chest in a blur of black, hitting him six times in mere seconds. She landed, turning and watching as Xander gasped, crying out in pain as he collapsed to the ground, sparks running off from him, a huge explosion happening around him, causing him even more agony. His Mystic morph left him, leaving him weakly against the ground. He pushed himself up on hands and knees, feeling the Earth's warmth beneath him. He closed his eyes, trying to bring that warmth into him, but lost it as Necrolai grabbed him by the throat, lifting him up off the ground that would have saved him.
"I can't have you helping yourself now can I." she laughed. "You are now mine Ranger…and soon will be property of my Lord."
With that she vanished, bringing Xander with her. The clearing they'd been fighting in was left empty, a bit smoldering from the last major attack. A flutter from a tree nearby let it be known that someone had indeed been watching. A white owl took off into the sky, letting out a light shriek into the air before flapping frantically over the forest.
