Chapter XIII: Rat trap
A small car was driving a desert road across one of the lonely deserts of South America. The car broke down. The driver stepped out, and looked at the back left wheel, it was flat. There was nowhere to make a call around, and no signal for cell phones. A shout came from the car.
"Zhane! Zhane! We've got a problem inside." One of them shouted. Zhane looked inside and saw a leakage of the petrol tank to the inside of the car.
"Get out!" he shouted. The four people jumped out. As if out of nowhere, Master vile appeared.
"Aha! My evil rangers, I knew I'd get the chance to get you again, only this time there'll be no stopping us." He laughed.
"Get real." Zhane shouted and jump kicked him in the chest.
"You're going to regret doing that!" Master Vile shouted, and smacked him with his staff.
"Aquitar ranger power!"
"Gold ranger power!"
"Let's rocket!"
"Magna power!"
The five figures assembled.
Meanwhile. The Astro Megaship was flying nearby.
"Are you sure about this? I mean sending them back to action so soon?" Syd asked Tommy.
"Those guys can handle themselves, and if they can't; that's why we're here." Tommy shrugged.
"You do know about the side affects of the removal of the Evil?" TJ asked Tommy.
"What?" Tommy looked puzzled.
"Trey might be dying. And there's something different about Zhane." Carlos added.
"But they both seemed so…..." Tommy began.
"Trey's taking the news rather well; he's coming to terms with it." Sky replied.
"We've got to go."
Back in the desert.
The phantom was fighting Vile with the help of the Magna Defender. Zhane pulled out his blaster and aimed it at Vile.
"Zhane don't! You're so powerful; the others are holding you back." He shouted. Zhane dropped his blaster and took a step back, his head in his hands.
"Quiet!" Billy shouted as he pulled his sword to Vile's throat. Vile laughed. He dodged Billy's manoeuvre. He smacked Billy with his staff. He raised his staff to Mike, but Zhane jumped and grabbed Vile's staff.
"Let go, you know I'm right. Join me and we can rule the galaxy, join me and we can leave the others behind." Vile smirked.
Zhane took another step back, Mike moved out the way, Vile missed and hit Trey. Trey fell to his knees. The Astro Megaship landed nearby. Tommy ran out and dragged Trey back to the ship. The space rangers ran out, morphed, to take control of the situation. Andros pulled out his spiral saber and engaged Vile. Andros knocked the staff out of Vile's hand. And had him where he wanted him. He took out his blaster and attached it to his saber. Zhane stood in front of him.
"You can't do this." Zhane shouted.
"What?" Andros asked.
"It's not what we do now, we imprison enemies." Zhane replied.
"I am not S.P.D., I have no obligations to do so." Andros said, re-aiming his blaster.
"But it's inhumane." Zhane snapped.
"Have you forgotten what he did to you? And the amount of villains we killed in the name of good? We can end this; an entire galaxy will be freed." Andros shouted. Zhane pulled out his blaster and shot Andros in the waist. The other four space rangers set up the mega blaster and shot Zhane, not harming him, but de-morphing him.
"Ha! Good luck." Master vile exclaimed and teleported away.
