Sorry for the delay in updating my story. Crazy last several weeks with school and work situations but now I am back to the grindstone here (at least until spring semester starts; then it will depend on my workload). Anyways, I wanted to say I greatly appreciate the reviews I've received! I am grateful for the constructive criticism too; it can only help me get better. Knowing I have people reading does inspire me to continue. Again I apologize for the wait! This picks up where I left off last when they were on their way to lunch. I suck butt at writing fighting scenes by the way but whatever. :)
Tommy watched the group exit the room from his locker and walk down the hall huddled close in conversation. He could only imagine what the topic was. He smirked, his eyes flashing briefly. I wish I could hear what they're saying.
He made his way casually to the lunchroom and, after picking a tray with some shitty looking meatloaf, slid into a seat in the back corner. As usual the other Rangers were sitting together at one table, still whispering and glancing over at him. He drew a finger across his throat and pointed at them. That made them mind their business.
Again, Tommy found his gaze wondering to the Red Ranger. His eyes swept along Jason' broad back and muscular arms. The idea of overpowering him and forcing him to submit made Tommy's groin tingle. I'd show him who the meanest motherfucker in the jungle is, he thought. He thinks because he's the big bad Red Ranger, no one can beat him. I'd break him. His breathing became more rapid as lust began to overcome him.
Lewd images filled his mind: the Red Ranger chained to nude to Tommy's bed, struggling in terror to free himself; a bloody barely alive Jason begging Tommy to stop raping him; choking the life out Jason as he fucked him.
I've got to get out of here.
Picking up his tray of half eaten food, Tommy abruptly slid out of his seat and after disposing of his meal exited the cafeteria.
"What was that about?" Kimberly asked, noticing Tommy hoofing it toward the door.
"Who the hell knows with him?" Zack muttered darkly. He was still steamed about the detention he endured.
Jason said nothing and merely stared at the Green Ranger's departing back. He had a bad feeling he couldn't shake. It had nothing to do with the fact they could almost guarantee he would be back with his "friends" for an afternoon visit. Jason picked at his food and again thought of yesterday's sparring match. He wanted to mention it to his friends but felt slightly embarrassed. No, there's no need to say anything about it. It was probably nothing.
Chapter 4:
Standing in front of Goldar, the Green Ranger could barely keep from tapping his foot with impatience. The big ape seemed to think this was rocket science. Tommy knew what his role was in this battle: separate Jason from the others and teleport him to the Dark Dimension. Really, does he think I'm an idiot?
He folded his arms across his chest over the shield and was glad he had his helmet on. Goldar had thumped him more than once for what he considered his disrespect. But he was really starting to seethe.
Goldar wanted the Red Ranger to himself. There was some brief discord earlier as Goldar and the Green Ranger nearly got into it over this idea. Rita herself finally had to step in and separate the two. She had never seen Tommy so openly argue with Goldar. Usually it was eye rolling and just general attitude. This was different.
He had been silently brooding as of late and would not discuss what was going on with his Empress. She had no concerns that he was breaking free from her spell. There was an especially evil glint in his eye recently. But something was on his mind.
Goldar didn't have the first clue and continued his break down of how things were going to go in battle. It was obvious that the Red Ranger would try to take the Green Ranger on himself; he had a bit of an arrogant streak. Goldar would keep the others busy while Tommy kidnapped him.
From that point on, he was Goldar's property to do with as he pleased. He liked to emphasize that point over and over. We'll see about that, Goldilocks.
The afternoon was sunny and warm; the park was full of parents with their children and teenagers playing basketball and enjoying the freedom following a long day in the classroom. They didn't notice the figure standing on a hill at the edge of the park glaring down at them. Head lowered like a bull, he slowly advanced on the innocent civilians. His arms swung gracefully at his sides, the Sword of Darkness dangling from his right hand. Sunlight glinted off his golden shield.
Leaping through the sky over the Green Ranger, Putties swiftly landed and charged ahead, causing screaming and panicking to ensue. People scrambled to escape, running every which way but it was no use. There were too many. Tommy stopped and watched the chaos.
Wait for it...
Sure enough, five bright streaks of light arced across the sky and the Power Rangers materialized. Looking past the heroes, the Green Ranger imperceptibly inclined his head toward Goldar, who had appeared on the opposite side of the park.
"Give it up, Green Ranger!" Jason yelled, calling on his Power Sword.
"Took you long enough, Red Ranger. Scared?" he taunted back.
"I'll show you scared!"
The two Rangers charged toward each other, swords pulled back for violent blows. As their swords clanged and sparked, the remaining Rangers found their hands full with Goldar and his squad of Putties. Trini held back from the fray and assisted the civilians to safety.
"There's too many!" Kim cried out. She back flipped out of Goldar's path as he roared in anger.
"Don't give up! We can take these guys!" Zack yelled, bringing his Battle Ax across a Putty's chest.
The fight between the Red and Green Rangers had grown into an all out bloody mauling. Neither showed any sign of backing off and they continued viciously attacking each other. Screaming and swearing joined the clashing metal.
The Green Ranger laughed evilly as the started slowly circling on another. "Come on, Red Ranger. Give up. I'll kill you quickly. You know Goldar will just drag it out."
Jason's chest and shoulders rose and fell with his panting. His body felt numb to the pain of the several deep lacerations Tommy had given him. He smirked under his helmet at the red staining under the evil ranger's uniform. "I'll never give in to you! You're not looking so hot yourself!"
Tommy hadn't anticipated the force of Jason's bottled up anger. It didn't look like he was going to be able to take him as easily as he thought. A different approach was needed. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Kimberly in the middle of a group of Putties. Perfect...
He suddenly turned and flipped into the middle of her battle. A few quick moves and he had her subdued. She struggled against him furiously but couldn't break the grip he had on her neck. The Pink Ranger couldn't even draw in breath to scream.
Zack, Billy, and Trini tried to fight through the throng of Putties but couldn't get to their teammate.
"Kim!" Trini yelled and tried to shove her way to her best friend but Goldar blocked her path.
Slowly, Tommy turned to Jason as he held the point of his sword to her stomach. "Looks like we're doing this the hard way."
"Let her go, Tommy!" Jason bellowed.
"What's she worth to you, Red Ranger? Hmmm?" A flick of his wrist and he nicked Kimberly slightly. Dots swam in her vision and noises sounded muffled. The sharp pain fired through her but she couldn't give voice to it. The other Rangers froze in fear as the Putties formed a circle around them.
Jason tossed his sword to the ground and raised his hands in a gesture of submission. "You wanted me. Take me. Leave her alone."
The Green Ranger eased his grip on Kim's throat allowing her to draw shallow breathes. Raspy gurgles could be heard. He chuckled softly. "Goldar, Jason's seeing things our way now."
Goldar strode up to the Red Ranger and drove his fist into Jason's stomach causing him to double over. He then brought his knee up into the front of the Red Ranger's helmet. Jason dropped to the ground and as he blacked out, he could hear his friends screaming his name.
