Chapter 6

Xander couldn't believe he had to help the Master, but he made an agreement. If he didn't do what he was told 'they' would get hurt and it would be all his fault, if he did what he was told his friends would get hurt. To make a choice like that wasn't easy, but he was forced to do the bidding of the Master or else he would've..., "Xander, you okay?" Vida asked breaking his train of thought. "You've been sitting there for a long time."

"Yea, I'm fine just thinking about how we're going to get the other Rangers back." Xander lied and stood up. "Need any help?"

"No, we got it. Just don't hurt yourself, you've been acting weird since you got back from Overdrive." Vida replied unsure if he was telling the truth, but pushed the thought away. "We're going back to Root Core though so I'll get you before we go." Vida left and went back to work as Xander sat back down.

Xander hit the desk hard, "She's going to figure it out."

"Y'mad about something?" Xander nearly fell off his chair, but recovered.

He looked over seeing it was the guy from yesterday night, "What do you want now?"

"Nice to meet you too. I'm here because you have a mission to do, so do it."

"How am I going to convince them? I bet V's already suspicious."

"Figure it out, the Master doesn't want to wait y'know." Footsteps were heard coming to the door. "I'll be back." He disappeared and the door opened.

"Xander? Who you talking to?" Madison asked as she came in.

"No one." Xander answered swiftly, which caught Madison's attention.

"Okay, then. There are other Rangers that just came here, the Time Force I think." Madison said gesturing behind her. "Their outside." Xander stood up and they walked outside to the field that was in front of the music store.

"Trip, I hear you're a Green Ranger. Be careful in battle." Kevin said. "How did you guys know to come here?"

"We got a call from Silver Guardians HQ that told us to meet here in Briarwood. HQ got the call from someone named Madison from the Mystics. They received it and we came here as soon as possible." Wes answered and continued, "Do we know who's the spy within the group?"

"Spy? What are you talking about?" Tanya asked as Xander started panicking, but tried his best to stay cool.

"Yea, do you guys honestly trust everyone who used to be or are going to be Rangers?" Eric said as the others exchanged looks. "There's a possibility that one of us are the spy working for the Enemy."

"How about you guys stop worrying about that and worry about us?" A voice spoke behind them, and Tori already knew who it was, Blake. They turned around, "Ready for a fight?" He asked actually asking everyone and they came into a fighting stance.

The Enemy came behind the evil Rangers, "Stand down or else your fellow Rangers will get hurt." Six Rangers stood with the Enemy, but wasn't turned to evil yet.

"Wild Force!" Eric said. The Rangers struggled to gain freedom from the Enemy's spelled chains. "We have to do something!"

"We'll be fine, just get away before it's too late!" Taylor replied.

"Run and protect each other!" Alyssa yelled out.

The Enemy walked over, "Might not want to do that. You'll make him mad." Blake mentioned laughing as the Enemy started hurting the two girls.

"Let them go!" Eric and Cole simultaneously shouted.

The Enemy looked over, "What did I tell you? Now you're going to regret ever coming here." Blake said as the Enemy releases a strong energy black beam to the Wild Force. They scream in pain as Eric yells out Taylor's name. The beam stops and the smoke clears, Eric and the Time Force run over to the unconscious Rangers.

Wild Force wakes up and pushes Time Force away, "Wild Access!" They morphed into their colors.

"Make sure to clean up the mess, Rangers." Blake smirked as Wild Force charged at them.

The Enemy turned to Xander as the same guy appeared behind Xander his face covered, "Xander watch out!" Chip used his magic and his lightning pushed away the guy. "We better morph!"

"Magical Source, Mystic Force!"

"S.P.D. Emergency!"

"Ninja Storm, Ranger Form!"

"Dino Thunder, Power Up!"

"White Ranger, Dino Power!"

"Jungle Beast Spirit Unleashed!"

"Time for Time Force!"

"Quantum Power!"

Chip and Bridge stood in front of Xander surrounding the guy, "Name's Derek." Derek looked over at Xander, "Hiding behind your friends I see. Not very surprising." Derek smirked. "Xander, the deal remember?"

"How... does he know you? And what deal?" Bridge asked turning his head to him.

"There's a lot you don't know, Rangers." Derek said and added, "Remember Plan Xander? That won't work but this will. Plan X, activate."

Something took over Xander making him attack his fellow Rangers. He used his Magi Staff Axe and slashed at Chip and Bridge over and over.

"Xander, what are you doing?!" Chip used his Magi Staff Crossbow and shot at Xander.

"He's simply just following orders." Derek answered as Xander dodged all the arrows. "Looks like your secret came early, now you'll have to suffer hurting your friends." Xander used his magic enclosing them in roots. "That wasn't so hard now was it? Now do the rest of your mission."

Xander went to the Rangers surrounded by roots, "Sorry, Rangers." Xander said showing he couldn't control his body, but his mind.

"Finish the job already, then get the rest." Derek ordered. Xander took out his morpher/wand and pointed it out to them. Darkness released from the morpher and began to head towards Chip and Bridge.

Again he couldn't believe he was taking orders from the enemy. Though 'they' would've gotten hurt, if he didn't follow orders, but his friends would get hurt anyway. The choice was hard, but he was forced to or else Derek would just use the Darkness inside of Xander to do the job. But he knew he made the wrong decision once he figured out it would be worst if they figured out this. They knew the secret, the agreement with him and the Master and now is going to be hated by all his friends and all because he was foolish enough to think it would all work out. "Enough..."
