Here we go people. The dramatic part of the dramatic conclusion. I have a feeling this could last a chapter or two. We'll see. It all depends how much suspense I feel like adding to the end and if I want to plague you all with a cliffhanger or not. We'll see!

So, here we go with chapter 14!

Sam's POV

He's not coming. That's the only thought that was running through my head. We were standing in a room I'd never been in before on the fifth floor of their building. The room was large and mostly empty. Widows made up three of the four walls, and the ceiling to the room was the ceiling to the whole building. The only things in the room were a couch and two cardboard boxes. My guess was that they never even used this floor.

"Tonight, our plan to conquer the Earth goes into action," Marlena announced. "Everyone knows what they're doing, correct?"

"Yes," Max and Nossida replied. Adrien had been given the task of finding Penn. He was still missing from when he'd left randomly earlier. I was worried about him. In the past few days, I'd come to see Penn as my own little brother.

"Are the prisoners still secured downstairs?" Marlena asked.

"Yep. There's no way they're getting out of that room," Max answered.

Adrien came running up from the stairs, alone.

"I couldn't find him anywhere," he said, shaking his head. "He's not here."

"Oh that boy," Marlena sighed. "We'll just continue on without him. Nossida, do you have the device." Oh great, Nossida has yet another device. This plan just keeps getting better and better.

"Of course I do," Nossida replied, pulling out a small, ruby red blaster looking thing. He handed it to Marlena, and she examined it closely.

"And you're sure this is the right one?" she asked, her eyes still glued to the device.

"Yes. The red one puts a control on the mind. The purple one poisons. The blue one freezes. The black one kills. The yellow one paralyzes. The…"

"We don't need to know what they all do! Just that one," Max snapped.

"But it's good that he knows them so well. It gives me more confidence that this one's right," Marlena commented. "And now, I'm going to hook this up to the magnifier and blast it all over the world! And thus, everyone's minds will be mine to control, thus world domination!"

"Not if I can help it!"

And I'm not even joking I literally jumped for joy, (or was that from a shock?), at the sound of the voice of that sudden outburst.

Chris' POV

"And now, I'm going to hook this up to the magnifier and blast it all over the world! And thus, everyone's minds will be mine to control, thus world domination," the one Penn told me was named Marlena, a.k.a. his mother, said. I found that a good time to reveal myself.

"Not if I can help it!" I cried, appearing from the stairwell. After Adrien had gone up that last time, Penn and I had snuck behind him and had been waiting just before the top for the right moment to strike. And I felt that that moment was now.

They all jumped when they saw/heard me. And I have to admit that right there in that moment, I felt outnumbered. Danny and Cathy were nowhere to be seen. I didn't know who Sam would fight with. And there were at least four determined bad guys standing in front of me.

This was going to be, if nothing else, interesting.

Sam's POV

"And who might you be?" Marlena asked, walking away from the window. Her hands fell to her sides as she strode towards Chris. I suddenly felt glad that I hadn't screamed his name when he came in, that would've given everything away. Then again, Marlena may have already known exactly who he was.

"The last member of the MBC that you haven't captured yet," Chris replied, his blaster pointed at her.

"Ah, so you're the one that Adrien hit," Marlena said in an amused tone. She glided closer to Chris, examining him. "You are slightly more attractive than the other one. In my perspective anyway. And you must be pretty brave running in here alone. Tell me, how did you find this place?"

Chris hesitated. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Nossida gave me a clue last night. And I was able to decode it with the help of my brother and Cathy's grandfather," Chris answered finally. Marlena nodded.

"Ok. That sounds feasible," she remarked. "So now that you're here, what do you plan to do?"

"Well, stop you," Chris replied plainly. There wasn't a better answer than that.

"And how do you plan to do that?" Marlena asked.

"That's for me to know and you to find out," Chris answered in reply. I really hoped he had a plan. Otherwise, the world was doomed. I sure hope Chris knows that.

Nossida's POV

"I have to admit that I'm quite glad to see you, Chris," I said, stepping forward. "I'm glad my little hint proved helpful."

"It was. Now why did you want to lead me here?" Chris asked. I smiled and walked closer to him.

"I thought it would be more fun if you were here to watch us win," I answered. "You know, it'd be a little more fulfilling to us."

"You aren't going to win," Sam said. I turned toward her. So did everyone else. She looked suddenly less sure of herself, but refound her confidence quick. "Chris is here now, and he will stop you."

"Oh. How cute. She's sticking up for her little boyfriend," Max scoffed.

"He's not my boyfriend!" Sam snapped. Then she thought back over what she'd said. "Yet," she whispered.

"Do you really think that human can stop us?" Max asked, striding over to Sam. "You think he can defeat us when there are five of us and one of him?"

"Yes," Sam answered. Max motioned for Adrien to come closer. Adrien came with a little reluctance. The poor guy. He really does love Sam. She just doesn't love him because he's messed up in this evil plan of his mothers. He really is just as bad as her, though. Love softens him up a bunch.

"Do you hear that, Vince? She's putting her faith in another guy. Isn't she engaged to you?" Max asked, obviously trying to provoke Adrien into his real self. I don't blame him. I wish I'd thought of that.

"Yes, yes she is," Adrien whispered.

"Then why don't we do something about that?" Max said, turning his gaze back to Sam. "Our planet doesn't take kindly to people who are disloyal to those they are set to marry." Sam was starting to look scared. Good.

Max grabbed a hold of her shoulders. Then his one hand tightly held onto the side of her face. "Get where I'm going with this, honey?"

Chris' POV

"Don't you tough her!" I cried, taking out my freeze blaster and shooting it at him on full blast. Max was pushed to the side by the blow and seemed to have been frozen pretty good. Adrien looked at Max, then me. Then I froze him too. I went to aim for Nossida, but he's just a little too quick for that.

Sam's POV

In the time it took for Chris to shoot Max and Adrien, Nossida had backed up enough to get a running start to leap in the air and spread his wings. He was now aiming at Chris for an aerial attack. But Chris saw him just in him and went down on his knees in a defensive maneuver. Just as Nossida came down on him, Chris kicked his legs in the air so Nossida met his feet and went flying to the other wall from the force he'd planned to use to hurt my blue ranger.

Nossida slammed into the wall, then quickly jumped back to his feet. Chris got up too, then noticed his blaster a little ways away form him. He'd dropped it when he'd blocked Nossida's first attack. Nossida realized he'd dropped it too, and was darting towards it just as Chris was. Nossida was able to kick it farther away before Chris could grab it, and as Chris watched the blaster slide away, Nossida kicked him square in the chest.

I heard Chris' breath leave him as he went flying back into the wall. Nossida went in on him again. But I didn't see what happened next because something else caught my eye; Marlena hooking the red gun up to the magnifier. So, I picked up the freeze blaster at my feet and shot it at her. Or her hands more so than her.

She dropped the gun and glared at me. I stood frozen like I'd been the one who'd been hit with the freeze ray.

"You stupid girl," she hissed. "That was a very unwise move."

"Really? Because I think that was the best move I've made in a long time," I replied, feeling like my old self again. Marlena dashed for the gun, but I was quick to freeze her before she got there. I guess she hadn't expected that. Most villains don't. And now Marlena was frozen like Man and Adrien.

Coming to think of it, they wouldn't be frozen for much longer. So I shot them both again. Chris was fine only holding off Nossida. Speaking of that, I turned back to the boys to find them literally neck and neck on the ground not too far from where they'd just been.

Chris was flat on the ground, his hands around Nossida's neck, while Nossida held his neck just pinning him down by kneeling one leg on his chest. I don't know what I'd missed, but I was guessing it had been pretty intense.

But I'd tuned in at a good time, because just then Chris released his right hand from Nossida's neck and whipped a piece of broken glass at the bird creature. The glass nicked Nossida's cheek, but also pierced his wing. Nossida yelped in pain, and jumped away from Chris. I could see a thin line of blood appearing on his cheek and he was clutching his wing desperately.

I looked back to Chris, who sat up, breathing hard. There was broken glass littering the floor by him. Wait, what had broken? I looked to see a hole broken in the window. I had to ask Chris about what had happened there later.

But I didn't have the time just yet, because in ran Penn with Cathy and Danny.

"What's going on? What've we missed?" Danny asked, ready for action.

"Quite a lot, I think," Cathy replied, looking around at everything.

"Penn?" Nossida questioned, looking up from his injury. "You're, you're helping them?"

"Uh-hu," Penn nodded. Nossida's eyes turned hard.

"I think you've made a big mistake Penn," the bird creature said darkly, producing the green button from his pocket. "Cathy, Danny, you've come just in time."

And with that, Nossida's finger pressed the button.
