Author's Notes: Hi, readers. Here's chapter twenty-seven of "Just Away." This chapter contains elements from part one of 'Master Vile and the Metallic Armor.' I believe having Globbor and Motha be partners in battling the Power Rangers makes the situation a lot more dangerous than it originally was. One powerfully aggressive monster is bad. Two are a lot worse. Stay tuned for chapter twenty-eight.

Chapter 27: Scum and Villainy

In the Space Skull, Ninjor lay on the throne room's floor unconscious. He was tied up with chains. Vile, Globbor, Motha, Goldar, and Rito stood in front of the chair. They kept their eyes on him. Vile rubbed the top of his wand. He planted it into the floor. Goldar tossed his sword from one hand to the next. He swung it from side to side.

"I have to say your plan to capture Ninjor was brilliant, Master Vile," Goldar complimented.

"Aren't I always?" Vile asked with a soft chuckle.

"Teamwork is the best weapon in executing any plan, especially when it concerns being a decoy," Rito commented, standing tall and proud.

"Motha was the perfect decoy," Vile commented, glancing at the moth. "She distracted Ninjor long enough for Globbor to grab him."

Motha saluted him. "I would do it again with someone else."

"Who?" Rito wondered.

"That is for me to know and you to find out," Motha said, laughing with much delight.

"Hey, we are supposed to only say that to heroes!" Rito blurted out angrily.

Goldar shook his head. "Nope. We can say it to each other. There is no rule against it, especially when it comes to surprise parties."

The villains turned back to Ninjor. They narrowed their eyes as he began to stir. Vile tried to hold back a chuckle, but he could not help himself. Neither could Goldar and Rito.

"Ow!" Ninjor moaned painfully and looked around. "What a headache."

Ninjor sat up and saw the villains standing before him. He found out his hands were chained up too. He tried to get free to no avail. Globbor rubbed the back of his neck with both hands.

"What in the hell is going on here?" Ninjor demanded.

"It's nice to finally see you awake, Ninjor," Goldar said, sarcasm lining his voice.

Ninjor growled angrily. "Nice use of sarcasm. Where did you learn it, your mother?"

"No, I got it from my father," Goldar answered honestly.

Vile pointed his wand at the Ninja Master. "Do not even try to struggle, Ninjor. My Globbor has already drained most of your powers."

Vile waved his wand as he looked toward the wall. The screen showed a recorded projection of Ninjor getting grabbed by Globbor. Ninjor cringed in quite a bit of disgust.

"I remember," Ninjor said and turned to Motha. "I have to admit that giant moth was clever to distract me."

"Why, thank you!" Motha responded gratefully. "By the way, the name is Motha. Don't ever wear it out."

The entire group watched as Globbor began to drain Ninjor's energy off him. The villains chuckled at the shaking while the Ninja Master shuddered badly. The duo disappeared from sight. The screen went blank.

"You won't get away with this, Vile!" Ninjor barked while struggling to get free of the chains.

"Why does everyone keep saying that to me?" Vile asked with a roll of his eyes. "I am getting away with it!"

Ninjor hissed. "Let me go, you...you...villain!"

Vile scoffed. "That'll be that day."

Goldar walked up to Ninjor and kicked him in the face. This knocked the latter on his back. Goldar charged his sword with lightning and sent it into him. Ninjor cried out in much pain. Goldar ceased his assault on him. Rito couldn't help but chuckle.

"I want to unleash a little torture myself," Rito said, walking over to Ninjor. "Here I go."

Rito grabbed Ninjor's throat and forced him to his feet. He pointed his sword at the floor. A lightning bolt shot out of it. Ninjor jumped off to the side, barely missing being hit. Rito turned his sword in his enemy's direction to shoot another bolt out of it. Ninjor made a jump out of the way. Rito shot multiple bolts at him. Ninjor did jumps all over the place to avoid them. Rito stopped his assault on him.

"How about we knock him down again, my friend?" Goldar asked, glancing at the skeleton.

"I say that is a great idea!" Rito said, eagerness lining his voice.

Ninjor snarled. "You will never get away with this!"

Rito shook his head in disbelief. "You heroes need to come up with some new lines."

Goldar and Rito walked up to Ninjor. They swung their swords at his feet, sweeping them out from underneath him. Ninjor ended up on his back. He rolled on his side. Goldar and Rito gave him three kicks to the stomach. Ninjor emitted a loud groan. Vile waved his wand in the air while clearing his throat. This caused the duo to look at him.

"That is enough, you two," Vile said and lowered his wand. "It is time to get down to business."

"Of course, sir," Goldar said, going over to him along with Rito.

"Globbor, Motha!" Vile barked loudly as he turned to the monsters.

"Yeah, boss!" Globbor said, giving him a salute.

"Listen to me. It is time to get the Rangers' attention. Attack the city!" Vile ordered, a snarl leaving his mouth.

"You got it!" Globbor shouted eagerly.

"That's right!" Motha said, spreading her wings apart.

The monsters teleported to Downtown Angel Grove. Rito planted his sword into the floor and put his hand on top of the hilt. He leaned on it a tiny bit. He placed his hand on his side and let out a soft chuckle. He tapped his foot three times.

"It will be nice to relax and watch those monsters pummel those Power Brats," Rito said, laughing evilly.

"Do not get too relaxed, Rito," Goldar warned, pointing his sword at him. "Your sword will slip out from underneath you. You will fall down."

Rito waved him off. "Yeah, yeah. I have heard that before."

"Goldar has a point. You need to maintain good balance. It is essential for you to fight well," Vile commented.

"That is true," Rito agreed. "Of course, we all get clumsy on the battlefield sometimes."

Goldar shrugged. "Yeah. That applies more to you than it does anyone else."

"That is true—Hey!" Rito yelled offensively.

"I have to agree with Goldar, my son. You are rather clumsy on the battlefield," Vile commented truthfully.

"Spoilsport," Rito huffed.

Vile emitted an irritated growl. "I heard that!"

Rito waved his father off in which he got one from him in return. They and Goldar heard 'Tsk-tsk-tsk' and glanced at Ninjor, who emitted a defiant growl. The Ninja Master continue to struggle against his chains. He opened his hands a bit.

"The Power Rangers will defeat your monsters and free me, you bastards!" Ninjor shouted fiercely.

"That is what you think, Ninjor," Vile said, approaching him and placing his wand underneath his enemy's chin. "Globbor and Motha are powerful by themselves. They will be even more powerful working together."

"The Rangers will use teamwork to defeat your monsters! Evil will never triumph!" Ninjor insisted with a loud snarl.

"Oh, yes, it will!" Vile hissed and swung his wand. He struck him in the cheek, knocking him over. "After this is all over, there will be no good, peace, love, happiness, or warmth left in the universe. There will be evil, chaos, hate, anger, greed, and coldness."

"You are mad!" Ninjor snapped.

"Shut up," Goldar said, walking up to him alongside Rito. "Have a little bit of this!"

Goldar kicked Ninjor in the stomach twice. He gave him four punches in the head before slapping him across the cheek. He revved up his sword with lightning and sent it into him. Ninjor cried out painfully. He moved his head up and down. Goldar stopped his assault on him.

"Nice job torturing him, Goldie," Rito complimented.

"Thank you, Rito," Goldar responded with a chuckle.

Rito rubbed his hands together. "Now, it is my turn."

Goldar held out his hand. "Give it to him good."

Rito slapped Ninjor across the cheek very hard. He punched him in the head four times before grabbing his throat to choke him. He let go of him after ten seconds. He gave him four kicks to the chest. He charged his hand with lightning. He sent it into him, relishing at his painful cries. He stopped his assault on him. Ninjor panted heavily before looking away.

"You did an even better job of torturing Ninjor, Rito," Vile said, an evil cackle leaving his mouth.

"Why, thank you!" Rito said as he stood tall and proud.

"Do not try to stand too much taller, Rito. You just might hit the ceiling," Goldar joked and snickered under his breath.

"You and your lame jokes, villain," Ninjor grumbled annoyingly.

"Ah, shut up!" Rito snapped and kicked him in the chest.

Goldar shook his head in disbelief. "You have been watching too much of Looney Tunes."

"What can I say? I love saying Foghorn Leghorn's line," Rito said and laughed.

"Hmm," Goldar commented. "Anyway, I can't wait for Globbor and Motha to tear the Rangers apart."

"Me too," Rito agreed.

Vile chuckled. "Me three."

The trio shared an evil laugh. Ninjor groaned in great irritation before panting in a hard way.
