Greatest fear 4

"Hello rangers"

"Who said that" Jack turned back as his eyes scanned the area amidst his suit.

"Said what" Kelvin asked with a furrowed brow.

"You guys didn't hear anything" Jack retorted at them as it appeared he only heard the voice.

"Nah! didn't hear a thing" James shook his head.

"Me neither" Chloe added.

"Maybe you're just hearing things" Freddie suggested as suddenly again, a tiny laughter was heard.

"Did you hear that" jack asked again as everyone including him turned and made a glance at everywhere including the air for the voice.

"I think I did and it's coming from that direction" Chloe pointed to a building which the front is covered with glass.

"But no one's there" James said as shockingly a picture faded out slowly on the glass and it appeared to be mirloc.

"Hello rangers" Mirloc repeated again.

"What the-" James exclaimed with his brows raised.

"How did he do that" michelle pointed at the glass.

"Who are you" Freddie asked as suddenly Mirloc walked out of the glass.

"Woh, you're gonna teach me how to do" Kelvin said.

"Well well well, isn't it the fire saber rangers. Luther had told me much about you" Mirloc said with his fingers interlocked together. He walked taking one step at a time towards them.

"Oh let me guess, that we've defeated many of his plans" Jack scoffed "Yea bro, that's right" Chloe added before giving James an high five.

"Ahn, Rangers trying to make themselves clown. Well let me introduce myself. My name is Mirloc; a dangerous brilliant mastermind, who has the power to travel through any reflected surface" Mirloc said slowly, one after the other.

It appears that the adage "slow and steady wins the race"
plays out from him due to his walking and talking.

"Oh I see that's why he could speak and teleport out of the mirrors" Kelvin muttered to himself while nodding his head.

"I once killed a red ranger but later i was captured and sent to Veronix 12 where there's no reflective surface for me to escape. Coincidentally I escaped into this dimension and I was accommodated by Lord Jurazuss. Now I owe him one thing which is to capture the so called fire saber rangers" Mirloc lastly ended as he now stood some meters away from the rangers.

"Funny story, Ha-ah, but that's not gonna happen" Michelle stated with a gesture.

"Yea, we don't care what inter-dimensional prison you escaped from" Freddie stepped forward to take the position of a leader.

"Right! coming here is making a big mistake"

"Because you're going down" James ended with his thumb he shot out downwards.

"Fools, by the time am done with you, You'll wish you were not born" Mirloc threatened with a smile. His fingers were still interlocked together.

"Fire Saber Rangers ready for action!" Freddie yelled out as the team took a different fighting stance.

"Indeed, get ready to meet your doom" Mirloc calmly returned.

"Never you first" James said as he charged first to Mirloc who still stood on his feet.

"Yes, come to daddy" Mirloc streched both hands to signify him that he should come.

Unknown to james, Mirloc opened his chest which shot out white lights and trapped James inside his chest mirror.

"What the- what just happened" Chloe asked with a surprise look.

"Seems like James entered into him" Freddie replied pointing at mirloc. He himself looked shocked at what just happened.

"Hey freak! what did you do to James" Kelvin yelled from afar. He was getting angry at the fact that something just happened to his best friend.

"Why don't you find out yourself" Mirloc replied and immediately they wanted to charge towards him after Freddie gave a "go ahead" sign but jack stopped them.

"Wait a minute guys, don't you think it's a trap? James ran towards him and suddenly he disappeared"

"James is in trouble and we need him" Freddie said back.

Not minding what jack said, kelvin stated "Yea; let's get him:" and they ran towards Mirloc with an attack. Mirloc released his sword as he block the rangers attack.

From afar, Jack puts on a thinking face on whether to help his team or not.

"Something is wrong about this guy" Jack muttered to himself as he looked forward and saw the others defeated to the ground.

"Guys" Jack tried to run and help them not until Mirloc opened his chest again and said
"You wanna know where your fellow ranger is, then come in for free" Mirloc joked as the mirror shone a white light and the remaining rangers zapped into the mirror which made a whooshing sound.

Jack angrily speed towards Mirloc to challenge him "What did you do to them"

"Just trapped your folks for Jurazuss just like I always do for Gruumm" Mirloc shrugged.

"Let them out now" jack said, stomping his feet in anger.

"Why don't you come and get them" Mirloc replied jack who grinned his teeth in anger before charging towards Mirloc without a saber.

Jack ran and then flipped towards Mirloc with a punch from his fist. Mirloc defended the attack with the sword but luckily jack wasn't hurt.

Again, Jack spinned and then kicked Mirloc who defended it before giving him a jump kicking attack but jack was very fast as he threw a back hand spring away from mirloc's attack

"There's nothing special about you black ranger" Mirloc yelled as he gave a stance away from Jack.

"We'll see about that... Activate fire saber bull power" jack yelled as he used his left hand to hit his fist and his elbow then he leaped before hitting the floor which sent out electric fire straight to Mirloc.

"I think 5 rangers would be enough for Lord Jurazuss" Mirloc said before disappearing, escaping the attack.

"danm it Mirloc, you're a coward. Why don't you wait and fight me urn" James yelled angrily looking devastated that his friends had been captured. He panted really hard with a frown like someone who ran a 10 thousand meter race.

"No, my friends are gone. This is all my fault, If I could just helped them, they won't be captured" jack muttered to himself as tears began to fall from his eyes.

"No no" Jack cried out as he fell down to his knees and started hitting the ground with both fist "No!!!!!!"

***

Now the adage "slow and steady wins the race"
just played out. Mirloc actually won the race by capturing the five fire saber rangers.
