8: The Many Lives of Nine-Lives
Amrion and Vyste bowed before Vadra's throne. Vadra held a star in his hand and leaned on his elbow, looking at it. The man looked rather bored. He looked away from the star to his two warriors and held the star out.
"Take this," he said, "Go and call forth Nine-Lives."
Amrion held out her hand as the star floated over to her. She looked down at the object and looked back up to Vadra, "What are you going to do, General?" she asked, "You seem rather distracted today."
"I am," he said, then rose from his throne and walked towards them, "I've been bored."
"You could hone your swordsmanship," Vyste growled, "You certainly need it."
Vadra cracked a smile as he looked at his warrior, "Maybe you should practice yours? You lost a horn, after all."
Vyste growled.
"I'm going to set something into motion," he said. He walked forward and flashed in a dark light, then stood in a business suit, "This will do," he told them.
"Are you venturing into the human world?"Amrion asked.
Vadra nodded, "I am," he stated, "You will understand soon enough."
He walked away from them, leaving the two to look at each other.
"Now what?" Vyste questioned, "Are we going to go summon this monster"
"What else would we do?" Amrion questioned.
"We could forgo Nine-Lives and go destroy the Rangers ourselves," he said, "I want to destroy them now!"
Amrion shook her head, "No. Not now," she said, walking away.
Alice and Wyatt slashed at each other with wooden swords, clashing their blades against each other. Alice landed a blow against his sword and pushed forward, slid her weapon off, and ran it across his chest.
"You got me," he said, lowering his weapon. She drew it down to her side as she stepped away from him and gave him a smile.
"Eventually you were going to lose," she said.
"I wasn't supposed to lose to you though," he said.
"Oh, was that supposed to be a crack at me being younger?" she asked.
"I mean, I've had so much more practice!" he shouted, trying to defend himself.
She laughed a little, "I know what you mean," she said, "But that just means I'm catching up to you."
"It's a good thing," Wyatt said, "We all need to be at the top of our games if we're going to win this fight."
She nodded, "Oh, of course. I just wish that we were all as free as you. I have school, Ridge has school, Rachel has college, Oliver has work…"
"Yeah. Maybe you guys should all just quit and do this full time with me!" Wyatt suggested.
She laughed and shook her head, "I wish. But we're fighting for our own futures. We need to succeed in what we're doing for the sake of the future."
"I know," he said, "But some days I get lonely."
"Think of it this way," she said, "It gives you a lot more time to get a lot better."
He nodded, "I guess you're right," he said, "I'll be the best for a while longer."
"Best?" Oliver asked as he walked into the training room, shaking his head, "Sorry, but that's not right."
"Oh, you want to prove that?" Wyatt questioned.
Oliver smirked, "Maybe I do."
Alice tossed her sword to Oliver, "Go on, I want to see this."
The two faced each other and lifted their bamboo swords.
[Ninninger 7. 8:12-8:26]
The dark star flew at a watch lying on the ground. The watch flew up and formed into a red cat-like monster with a watch motif.
"I'm back! Time to make havoc!" he shouted.
[End Sentai footage]
Wyatt was lying on the ground, rubbing his head, "Did you have to do that?" he questioned, "You didn't have to hit me on the head like that!"
"It showed that you had an opening," Oliver said.
"I couldn't get into it when we were fighting," Alice said, "But my swordsmanship isn't as good. You'd have seen it coming."
"You need a faster strike," Oliver said, "I'll teach you."
Wyatt jumped up to his feet and shook his head, "No, I can teach her."
"Can you?" Oliver asked.
"She's my friend," Wyatt said.
"We're all friends here," Alice told him.
"I mean, well, we were friends first," he said, "We've spent the most time together!"
"That doesn't mean much," Oliver said.
She nodded, "He's right."
"You know what I mean…," Wyatt muttered.
"I don't think we do," Oliver said.
"Ridge! Rachel!" Wyatt called as the other two came into the training room.
"Don't try to distract us," Oliver told him.
"There's a monster," Rachel said, "Come on!"
The three ran out of the training room and grabbed their shoes off the floor as they followed the others.
[Ninninger 7. 9:33-9:51]
"Is that you Amrion?" Nine-Lives called.
Amrion stepped out from behind him, "Yes, it's me. Welcome back."
Nine-Lives turned, "Thank you!"
"General Vadra himself requested your revival."
"Did he? Really?" Nine-Lives asked.
She stepped towards him and raised a hand up and began to whisper. Then she stepped past him.
"A few ninja? I can do that, no problem!"
[End Sentai footage]
As the five Rangers ran in a wooded area, Alice looked at Wyatt, "So, explain it."
"There's nothing to explain!" Wyatt called.
"Just drop it, ok?" Rachel called to them, looking back, "The monster is just ahead!"
"What are you even arguing about?" Ridge asked, "Is it boy problems again?"
"I didn't do anything like that again!" Wyatt called in defense.
The five ninja came to a stop when they saw the cat monster ahead. They each drew their swords to hand.
"Ok, let's do this," Nine-Lives said, lifting his claws, "I'll make this quick!"
Oliver stepped forward, "Let's try something. Rachel, Alice, Ridge, lay down some cover for me."
"What about me?" Wyatt questioned.
"You sit there and think about what you said," Oliver said.
Wyatt sighed, "So, I'm in time out?"
"I don't know what's going on," the monster admitted.
"Good," Oliver said, dashing forward.
The other three threw stars and used their Frog Blasters to blast at the monster, keeping it distracted. It looked forward and shouted as Oliver slashed, striking it in the head. He passed by and span around to face it as the monster fell and exploded.
"Wait…did that work?" Wyatt questioned, "I'm shocked."
"Well, it saves us time," Ridge said.
"Be on guard," Rachel said, "It might be a trick." She looked around, lowering her blaster.
"I don't think he's growing," Wyatt said.
There was an explosion and Amrion stood before the Rangers, a group of Tyvings with her, "Get them," she said before vanishing again.
"What? Is this backwards day?" Ridge questioned, "Usually they come first!"
"Just take them down!" Wyatt called, running past the others. He slashed through Tyvings as he pushed through the group. The other Rangers resumed firing and throwing stars before rushing in with swords.
As they fought through the warriors, Ridge turned, "Hey! It's the monster!" he shouted, pointing his sword towards the woods behind them. He slashed a Tyving in the chest and ran after it. "Stop!" he shouted.
Nine-Lives turned around and slashed his claw out to block the sword. He pushed Ridge back and slashed the man across the chest.
Ridge rolled and threw some stars into the monster. As it stumbled back Ridge leapt forward and glowed yellow. He shouted and slashed the monster in the chest, destroying it as he landed past it.
"Got ya," he said.
Ridge ran back to the others as the last Tvings fell.
"Where were you?" Rachel asked.
He pointed back, "The monster appeared again. I got him for us."
"He was back?" Oliver questioned, "This doesn't sound good…"
"Maybe we should go back," Alice said, "Yamashiro-sensei will tell us if the monster comes back."
"Good point," Ridge said, "It might be better than hoping he pops up again, if he will."
They nodded and headed off the way they had come.
[Establishing shot of academy building]
Yamashiro opened a door and saw a young man in a suit standing there; the disguised Vadra.
"Hello, are you Roy Yamashiro?" Vadra asked.
"I am," he said, "What can I do for you?"
"Well, may I come in? I'd love to speak in private."
He nodded, "Yes, please," he said, opening the door wider.
Vadra stepped inside, "My name is Vincent Kumon. My grandfather just recently told me about my past, and our family lineage. We had fought along with your ancestors to defeat the evil General Vadra."
Yamashiro stopped, "So…you know about all of this?" he asked hesitantly.
"I do," Vadra said, "And I want to do something about it."
"What does that mean?" Yamashiro asked.
"I know he's back," Vadra said, stopping in the hallway, "I want to help fight."
"Um…yes," Yamashiro said, "We have the Rangers on our side, but I can still teach you and gain your help."
Vadra shook his head, "I'm trained," he said, "My grandfather saw to it. He taught me, but he didn't let me use the full power. He never told me the stories."
Yamashiro nodded, "I'll see how well trained you are," he said.
"Look," Vadra said, "I wish to take another path. I want to open another academy and assist yours. If we have two academies, we may get more done. I know you don't have other students, but perhaps if we show people that these ways are open again, they'll come back and we can build our forces."
"Um…yes, that makes some sense," Yamashiro said hesitantly, "What do you need me for?"
"I need help starting," Vadra said.
As the five walked in civilian clothes through town, Alice walked beside Wyatt.
"Explain it," she said.
"There's nothing to explain!" he told her.
"Can you two stop it?" Ridge pleaded, "This is getting annoying!"
Rachel nodded, "It's childish too. But I'm sure it's Wyatt's fault."
Wyatt sighed.
"It actually is," Oliver commented, "Good guess there."
"What is it?" Alice questioned him, "Are you upset that we're all friends now? That you and I lost some special bond or something?"
"Um…no…," he said.
"Just get this over with," Rachel said, "Please Wyatt."
The group stopped and looked around.
"Ok, what was that sound?" Ridge asked.
"It sounded like a cat," Oliver said, lifting his wrist.
"Over there!" Rachel shouted, pointing one direction.
"No, that way!" Ridge and Alice pointed and shouted together.
"Split up," Wyatt said, "We have to stop this monster."
Ridge and Alice ran one way; the other three went the other.
As Wyatt, Oliver and Rachel ran, they saw the monster up ahead. They each lifted their arms and span the stars.
"Ranger Star, Ninja Strike!" they shouted, flashing into their colors.
[Ninninger 8. 3:55-4:42]
Wyatt leapt forward with his sword, but was blocked. The other two Rangers attacked with their swords until the monster blocked all of them.
"You can't get rid of me very easily, can you?" He pushed the Rangers off, but they all slashed him.
They kicked him back, "That hurts! You're mean!"
The Rangers put their stars into their blaster and fired, snaking three energy tongues through the monster's chest. He cried out and exploded.
"Got him!" Wyatt called.
"I just realized, there's no star," Rachel said.
"What?" Wyatt asked as he looked to the flames.
"If there's no star, then did we really destroy him?" Oliver asked as he lifted his weapon, then folded his arms, "Or was it just a copy?"
Wyatt put a hand on Oliver's shoulder as he passed behind, "If it was a copy, the other two should have found another one."
"Let's hurry and go," Rachel said.
Wyatt nodded, "Yeah."
Oliver walked after them.
The watch lay on the ground and the timer reset.
[End Sentai footage]
The five regrouped and stood as civilians.
"We got him," Wyatt said.
"Did you two find anything?" Rachel asked, "We're thinking he might be making copies."
Ridge shook his head, "No, there was nothing over there," he said.
"I think he threw his voice or just moved really fast," Alice said, "That makes sense to me."
"Every time we've destroyed him there's been no star," Oliver said, "So we need to watch for that. That'll let us know if we really destroyed him or not."
"So…he's still out there?" Alice asked.
"It seems like that," Rachel said.
"Great, we have an enemy we can't actually defeat running around," Ridge said, "Well, I guess we can beat the copies pretty easily though."
"We just have to find the real thing," Wyatt said, nodding, "Maybe Yamashiro-sensei can help us with this one."
"Let's head back," Oliver said.
[Establishing shot of academy building]
As the five walked into their classroom, they saw a man in a suit standing there with Yamashiro.
"You're back," Yamashiro said.
"Who is this, Yamashiro-sensei?" Alice asked.
"My name is Vincent Kumon," the man said, stepping towards them, "You five must be the Rangers."
"How does he know that?" Ridge questioned.
"Well, for one, you just told him," Oliver said.
"He's ok," Yamashiro said, "His family fought General Vadra. He wants to help us."
"More help?" Wyatt asked, "That's great!"
"I'll be helping in a different way," Vadra said, "I'm going to establish my own academy. If we show the people and the former students that this is real, that we need to grow, surely we can get some more people in."
"That would be helpful," Rachel said, "I hope it works."
"I think we all have that hope," Vadra said.
The mirror started to show them images. The group looked at them and saw the monster running around the middle of town again.
"How many times have we beaten him?" Ridge asked.
"Three," Rachel said.
"Please, let me," Vadra said, "Let me go with you and prove myself."
"Ok, yeah," Wyatt said, "If your family fought Vadra the first time, then by all means, come and show us what you can do!"
The six ran off, leaving Yamashiro to look at the monitors.
As the monster hopped around and laughed, a red star landed in front of him and stopped his progress. "Oh? You?" he turned to see them approach, "Who's that?"
Vadra walked forward and held his hand out, "If I could have a sword, I'd appreciate it."
Oliver lifted his arm and hit something on his Morpher. The sword appeared and Vadra took it from the air.
"New guy? In a suit? Can you fight like that?" Nine-Lives asked.
"You ask me," Vadra said, running for him. He slashed with swift, powerful strikes. The monster blocked some, but took a number of slashes. Vadra span around and ducked low, slashing him across the stomach.
The monster rolled and came up, barely blocking a kick, but he was sent tumbling back. Vadra threw his hand forward, then drew it back in a ninja seal, "Ha!" he shouted.
The monster struggled, arms chained around its chest, "What is this?" Nine-Lives shouted.
Vadra lifted the sword and ran forward. He leapt and slashed the monster across the chest, then landed as the monster fell and exploded.
"That was amazing!" Ridge said, hurrying towards the other man. The others followed and Oliver retrieved his sword.
"You're really good," Rachel said.
Vadra smiled, "Thank you. Now, I hope that I can help make this city and world safer."
"With skills like that, you can help train great ninja, I'm sure of it," Wyatt said.
With their backs turned, nobody saw Nine-Lives getting back up, covered in black energy. He ran off.
[Ninninger 8. 6:08-7:01]
"I'm here," Nine-Lives said as he bowed.
Amrion walked in front of him, "All seems to be going according to the General's plans," she said, "Or at least I would assume so. Good work so far."
He rose, "I gave up four lives," he said as a flashback came up to his revival, "But it's all worth it because I have five lives left! They won't know what hit them! We'll take them all by surprise!"
Amrion looked to him, "It's almost time."
"Time to get serious? Oh, I'm looking forward to that. I'm sick of losing on purpose! You understand, right?"
"You're proud and powerful, of course I understand." She lifted her gourd, "We need fear, but you can't collect it like this."
"I'll get all of the fear you want! As soon as I can be real."
"I know. Now go."
"Understood," he said.
"Be ready to give it your all. Very soon."
[End Sentai footage]
"Do you think Wyatt is insecure?" Alice asked Oliver as she sat in the training room. Oliver and Ridge were drilling with their bamboo swords.
"Insecure?" Oliver asked.
"About our friendship, I guess," she said.
"If I had to guess, maybe he thinks you're still spending too much time at school and with school stuff. Maybe he expected it to go back to how it used to be, when you had so much more free time," Ridge suggested.
"Maybe, but we're grown up," she said, "He should know how much work school takes."
"I can't imagine he put a lot of work into his academics," Oliver said, "So maybe he doesn't."
"I guess," Alice said, "But this is weird, right?"
"It is," Ridge said, lowering his weapon. He looked to Alice, "Just don't let it get to you. He's a good guy, a good friend. He must have a reason for making a comment like that and then getting so weird about it."
"It's not like we're not spending time together," she said.
"We're a team fighting for the sake of the world," Ridge said, "I don't know what else he could want."
"Where is he anyway?" Oliver asked.
"I think Rachel took him along to investigate the monster," Alice said.
Rachel and Wyatt walked through town and stopped. She crouched down, "This is where we defeated him earlier," she said, "There's nothing here."
"Why don't we ask Satty?" Wyatt asked.
She reached into her pocket and drew out the UFO Zord Star, "Satty? Do you know anything about this cat monster?"
"Sorry, I don't," he replied, "I wish I could help…"
"It's ok," she said, "But next time we beat him, can you try to scan him?"
"I'll try!" Satty said.
"Thanks," she said, slipping it back into her pocket as she rose to her feet, "There has to be some trick to this."
"He's a cat. Maybe he has nine lives?" Wyatt asked.
"That's a ridiculous notion," she said.
He shrugged, "We're spandex-clad ninja fighting ancient spirits."
She shrugged.
"Hey! You two!" Nine-Lives shouted as he walked towards them, "You two looking for me?"
"What fantastic timing you have," Wyatt said, lifting his arm up. Rachel lifted hers.
Both span their stars and thrust their arms up, "Ranger Star, Ninja Strike!" they called, transforming in flashes of light, swords in hand.
"Come get me!" Nine-Lives shouted.
[Ninninger 8. 9:54-10:35]
Both Rangers slashed the monster back. Wyatt hit a button on his sword and drew it around his body, "We're doing this in one shot! Red Ninja Flash!"
He leapt up and came down as a red slash. He struck twice and leapt away and the monster exploded.
"Ok, time for Satty to do his thing!" Wyatt said.
"Scanning!" Satty's voice came.
The two looked at each other, "Hopefully this will get us some information. We can't keep fighting without knowing what we're dealing with here."
"Scan done! Look!"
The two looked and saw a watch lying on the ground. Wyatt picked it up, "Is this what's happening?" he asked, "Reviving from this?"
[End Sentai footage]
Both undid their Morphs and looked at the watch, "It would make sense," she said, drawing the UFO Zord Star out, "Satty?"
"There's a dark presence inside of that," Satty replied, "If I had to guess, he's reviving himself from that."
"So, maybe he does have nine lives then," Wyatt said, "We've done..."
"Five," she said.
"Five," he said with a nod, "Ok, let's take him back and keep him under watch I guess." He smirked, "Under watch…"
She sighed and took the watch from his hands, walking away from him.
The group looked at the watch lying on the table before them.
"Now what?" Ridge asked.
"We wait," Oliver said.
"If we destroy him before he reports back where we are, we're fine," Yamashiro said, "I don't believe he can from that form."
"It's flashing," Ridge said.
"Back!" Yamashiro called.
The six of them backed away as the watch flashed and dark energy covered the monster, who crouched on the table, "I'm…where am I?"
The monster leapt, but Yamashiro jumped in the way and knocked him out of the air. He slid across the ground and came to his feet, avoiding two slashes from Ridge. He jumped over Ridge and moved to the door, only to be grabbed by the leg by Oliver, who pulled him down.
The monster kicked Oliver back and flipped to his feet. Yamashiro shouted and punched him in the chest, knocking him across the room. He drew his hands up in seals and threw his hands forward, using a rain of throwing stars into the monster as it leapt forward. The monster exploded and the watch started to fall.
The watch glowed and he appeared again, sliding across the ground. He started to punch and claw at Yamashiro, who blocked and dodged every blow. He grabbed the monster by the arm and threw him to the ground.
"I've got him!" Rachel called, drawing her blaster up. As the monster rose, it took a series of blasts from her weapon and stumbled back. He ran to the door, but was blasted from behind and exploded.
"Seven," Wyatt said.
It reformed again and ran into the hall.
"Go!" Yamashiro shouted.
The five gave chase.
The monster was running in the woods, "Ok, I've escaped. I think," he said, looking around.
"No!" Wyatt shouted.
[Ninninger 8. 15:49-15:55]
Wyatt slashed him back a few times.
[End Sentai footage]
As he fell back, he threw his hands forward. The other Rangers reached Wyatt, but the explosion kicked up dirt and blinded them.
[Ninninger 8. 16:05-16:08]
The monster ran towards some bleachers, but was blasted in the butt. He shouted and fell.
[End Sentai footage]
Wyatt and Alice came to a stop, lowering their blasters.
"Let us take it," Alice said.
"Why?" Ridge asked.
"Because apparently Wyatt needs to be reminded that we're still close, and what better way than by destroying a monster together?"
"Wait, what?" Wyatt asked.
"You're just jealous that we're not the only ones hanging out anymore, right?" she asked.
He laughed, "Ok, fine. It's…a bit more complicated than that, I guess."
"Then let's tag-team this," she said.
He nodded, "Right!" He shook his head, "Wait…no."
"No?" Alice asked him, confused.
"No," he said.
[Ninninger 8. 16:16-20:05]
"What's going on?" the monster asked.
The others leapt in to stand by them, "It's all of us!" Wyatt shouted.
"Hidden in the blazing sun! Red Ninja Ranger!"
"Hidden in the clouds! Blue Ninja Ranger!"
"Hidden in the hills! Yellow Ninja Ranger!"
"Hidden in the wind! White Ninja Ranger!"
"Hidden in the mist! Pink Ninja Ranger!"
"Five hidden ninja! Power Rangers…"
Alice pushed Wyatt out of the way, "Power Rangers Ninja Strike!"
The monster growled at them.
Wyatt stepped forward, "Ok guys…"
Alice pushed him aside, "Let's go everyone!" she called, then ran forward.
Tyvings ran forward, and the Rangers ran to engage. Alice led the fight. Each Ranger dealt with their own foes, using their swords, other weapons, and ninja techniques.
Wyatt engaged the monster, "I'm fighting for real this time!" he growled.
"Yeah, and I don't care," Wyatt said, but took a claw to the chest.
"Wyatt, you ok?" Alice asked as she knelt by him, "Together! Ok?"
"Really?" He asked. She nodded.
"So how many people am I fighting?" he shouted, "Two or five? Make up your minds already!"
"Just…two," Alice said awkwardly.
He lifted his claw to his mouth, "Ok…"
"Let's put an end to him!" she said as she rose to her feet.
The others came from behind the monster, "You two get him!" Ridge called.
"Let's do this guys!" Alice said.
Oliver put his Elemental Star on his sword and span it, "Wood Star!"
He pointed his sword forward and a leaf storm blinded him. Rachel and Ridge pinned his arms to the wall with their claws.
"I thought it was just two!"
Alice lifted her bow, "We're a team. You get us all!" she called, "I just lied!"
"Not fair!" the monster called.
The attack flew forward and struck the clock, breaking it. He broke free and ran forward.
"His next life should be as a giant now," she said, "He can't revert."
Wyatt came forward, "Together then, Alice?"
Both hit the buttons on their swords.
"Red and White Ninja Flash!"
Both came down and slashed through the monster, he fell.
"I can't change time! Prepare for a giant!" he roared as he exploded.
"Time for your last life to be used," Amrion said, lifting her Mallet. "Rise again!"
"Number nine!" he laughed as he grew.
"Zords, to us!" they called as they loaded their stars to their swords.
"As long as the General finished his plans," Amrion mused.
The Rangers rode their Zords. Alice pointed forward, "Onwards!"
The Wolf Zord ran forward.
"A dog?" the monster shouted, scared.
"A wolf, but as long as you're scared!" The Zord bit the monster.
[End Sentai footage]
Alice lifted a green star, "Ok Elephant Zord, your turn!" She loaded it and span it.
[Ninninger 8. 20:07-20:09]
The Elephant Zord appeared.
[End Sentai footage]
Alice leapt up.
[Ninninger 8. 20:10-20:20:11 (Note: recolor Red Ranger into White Ranger)]
She stood atop the Zord.
[End Sentai footage]
She span her star again, "Warrior Mode!"
[Ninninger 8. 20:13-20:27 (Note: recolor Red Ranger into White Ranger)]
The Zord shifted modes.
"An elephant now?" the monster questioned as it was fired upon, "Why more animals?"
The monster fell.
[Ninninger 8. 20:30-20:45 (Note: recolor Red Ranger into White Ranger in brief opening second)]
She span the star, "Together!"
The Zords combined with the Elephant Zord taking the throne.
"Elephant Strike Megazord!"
The monster shouted and fired eye blasts.
[Ninninger 8. 20:46-20:54]
The Megazord blocked with its axes and fired steam back. The monster fell.
[End Sentai footage]
In the cockpit Alice nodded, "Time to put an end to him for good!"
[Ninninger 8. 21:12-21:15]
The monster rose, groaning.
[Ninninger 8. 21:20-21:34]
"Elephant Double Boomerang!" the team shouted as the two boomerang axes flew forward.
"I had nine lives and I still lost!" the monster cried as he exploded.
[End Sentai footage]
Alice held the star in her hand, "I think this is proof that we beat him for good this time."
"Great job," Oliver said.
Wyatt walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder, "I'm sorry. It was irrational."
She shook her head, "When are you ever rational?" she asked.
The two of them laughed.
[Ninninger 8. 21:39-21:45]
The Megazord stood, then split apart and each part separated.
[End Sentai footage]
"So, wait, this was about Wyatt not feeling like you two were close enough anymore?" Ridge asked, "Seriously?"
They sat around the table and Alice and Wyatt nodded.
"So…why didn't you just get this taken care of right away?" Rachel asked, "You know, instead of dragging it out?"
"I felt childish," he said, "We're trying to save the world, and I feel jealous that my friend is taking advice and hanging out with other people. I mean, I was always her best friend, and I'm older. I was always able to give her advice on what to do, and I taught her a lot of things…and I guess seeing Oliver teaching her something I could have done got to me. We're all friends, but I think it was just starting to set in now, and that I'm not the only person in her life to teach her this stuff."
"Will it happen again?" Alice asked him.
He shook his head, "No. Because we're all friends, and I get it now," he told her, "Besides, we're best friends. I know you value my opinions and teaching the most!"
"Not always," she said with a weak smile.
"You're not always the best with advice," Rachel agreed.
Wyatt sighed, "Ok…"
Vadra took his seat at the throne again, wearing his robes.
"How did it go?" Amrion asked, "Whatever this secret plan of yours was."
"It went well," he replied, "It's in motion. I have their mentor's trust, and soon…well, soon I'll have a trap in place, and the Rangers will fall," he said.
