Fractured Hills
Slick felt his head pounding. He remember being a couple feet from Alex till everything went black.
The Felinian felt his arms raised and chained up. He open his eyes and saw he was in a hut with the hole on the roof bringing in the moonlight.
"You're awake. Took you long enough.
Slick look around to see a pair of yellow eyes in the shadow staring at him. He start to work his way out of the chains, but nothing was working.
Darla worked close to him, getting in his face. She raised her right hand and touched his face, feeling the fur on his face.
"The possibilities of killing you are endless, Ricky. I can..."
Her arm lit on fire, close to Slick's face as he can feel the heat. "Light you on fire."
The hand changed to blue mist, floating around arm. "Suck the oxygen out of your body."
"Or..." Darla said, punching the wall with her arm made of rocks. "Beat you till a bloody pulp."
"Why do you do this, Darla?" Slick asked, worrying on what the witch could do to him.
"Because I want to take over the worlds of course. But, I know you, your dumbass friend and...Bianca will try to stop me. So, I'll kill y'all first."
"You know you can't have those powers. You don't know how to use them. What will happen if you lose control? You can't rule the world if you're dead or all the inhabitants."
Darla slightly turn to The Felinian, her right looking at him. "If they die, they'll die."
The witch walked off out of the hut, leaving Slick all alone. He closed his eyes and worked on his escape.

Becky and Alex searched around the arena with Lila and her father for Slick. But, he wasn't there.
Alex sighed, growling. "He doesn't just up and leave the battlefield. He has to be here or somewhere."
"It doesn't sound like him. But I feel his aura a little. Like he's at the qarry" Becky said.
"If he's there, so is that wretch!" Lila's father said.
Becky walked to Lila and her father. "Mr. Finnegan, have you seen my sisters?"
"Sorry, Rebecca, I couldn't your father. I was protecting my Lila and was being crushed in my home."
Becky smiled. "It's okay. We'll go find them."
"Yes we will. We gotta save the fauns at the tower over there. They're our main concern" Alex told the group.
The group made their way to a stone bridge that lead to the tower. Becky and Alex went to cross it.
They saw Rocnocs who were below them where they was a lava pit flowing around the ground level.
"Becky, how did you get here?" Alex whispered, trying not to get the earthshapers attention.
"This is my home. Bianca told me about her daughter causing a ruckus here and I had to come here and see what she done."
"I'm sorry for what happened here. But we're going to stop this" Alex said proudly, giving a fist bump from the lass.
They made it to the tower, a wooden door blocking their way to the room. The two heroes pressed their ears to the door hearing sniffles and crying on the other side.
"Can you break this door quietly?" asked Alex to Becky.
"That's sounds to dull like this wood" Becky said, chuckling.
Her hands glowed as she used a spell. "With my land covered with fear, make this door disappear."
The wooden door begin to dissolve to dust, blowing away in the wind. The fauns and young satyrs want to cheer for their heroes, but Alex had his finger on his mouth, telling them they'll be okay.
Becky and Alex led the group to the bridge. But they froze at the sight of who was in front of them.
"Alexander, I knew you'll save them."
Darla held Lila by her head over the cliff where lava was below her.
"Darla, let her go!" Alex said, regretting to say something better than that.
"I couldn't care less for them. But knowing you'll be a throne on my side, maybe this will convince you to stop while you're breathing."
The wretch put her right arm through the faun's chest, holding her heart.
Alex covered his mouth in shock at the scene. Becky turned away, gritting her teeth. The screams of the residents echo through the night sky.
Darla toss the extra hole body down to the lava, on fire as it sunk down.
Alex pulled out his Dino Morpher, his eyes on Darla and his anger rising like crazy. "I don't care that your Bianca and Hunter's daughter. You're going to pay for that! Dino Buckle!"
The yeti ran towards the witch and a group of Rocnocs. The rock monsters guard their Queen as Mammothranger strike them with his Moth Breaker.
Alex was unrelenting as he attacked them until their limbs start cracking apart. He broke more of the rocnocs till there was only Darla left.
Becky guide the residents off the bridge and to the grassy field.
Alex held his axe, running towards the witch. Darla waved her hands, pleading with yeti to don't kill her.
He hit her with the Moth Breaker, striking her down. But when look at her dead corpse, there was only a pile of rocks.
"Where are you!? Where are you!?...Where are you!?"
"Alex, she's gone. She's gone" Becky told the irate yeti.
The Felinian touched his shoulder and he turned around, rising his axe up. Becky fell to the ground as her friend stood over her.
His paw shaking as he slowly lower his weapon. The Zyuranger powers turned off, Alex fell on his knees to the ground, crying.
"I should've have them with us. They wouldn't been in danger. They'll still be alive."
Becky went over to the fallen yeti, hugging her. "She will pay for this, Alex. We know where she is located."
"Yes, yes we do. But I'm going in alone. You stay with the residents. Keep them safe."
"I can't do that, Alex. You need me with you."
Becky wasn't going to take no for an answer. But Alex wasn't hearing it.
"Becky, I'm going find Darla and rid her off this place. Please, I'm begging you. Watch over the people. They're the first priority."
The Felinian witch sighed, nodding her head. The yeti got up and begin to make his way to The Rock Quarry.
'Lila, Mr. Finnegan. I will avenge you'
