It took some time to return to the Fortress and their prehistoric army had to be left at the Facility. As Amelia yawned, she felt a sense of relief as she stretched. She paused at the door before entering the main lab.

"Evil Power Rangers! The irony of that is almost... Too good to be true," Mesogog walked around Elsa as the redhead watched from the doorway and smiled at the two. Seeing the goth sitting in a chair at the center, watching a mobile monitor that hung from a crane, made her snicker.

Lazy as always! He must watch football games or something. With this many monitors he wouldn't be able to miss a single match, hahaha! Giggling to herself, she didn't stir in her spot and kept her eyes on the scene at play to be sure not to interrupt. This must be episode thirty-one! One of my favorites, actually! Evil power rangers are made by Lothor! It's a crossover episode that has two parts! How could I possibly forget this? Besides-- the episodes aren't that far off from the one where Mesogog separates himself. So... That means, I'll have to be prepared. Her smile dropped when she recalled it. However, considering the battle they won just yesterday and the freedom she received once Solar was slain, there was hardly any doubt that he would continue with his potion.

"Where do they come from, my Lord?" Questioned the goth, as she and Mesogog focused on the screen, unaware of Amelia in the doorway.

"An excellent question, Elsa. Wait..." He trailed, turned, and walked around the seat the goth sat on with a lift of his hand. "Freeze that picture!" As soon as she did, it froze on one of the minions that he saw the Red Ranger kick aside. "Kelzaks," He mentioned.

"Who brought them to the party?!" Elsa was confused but was quickly answered when the beast spoke up.

"Lothor!" Amelia watched Mesogog walk around Elsa again with a claw raised, which she concluded was a thinking habit of his.

"Lothor? He's a fool! A buffoon," As if it were a fact, the goth answered and hardly removed her attention from the screen.

"A Buffoon, yes. But one that could prove most useful. Find him... And bring him to me," When he strode around the seat one last time, the redhead grinned like an idiot and clasped her hands in front.

"Yes, my lord." With that, Elsa stood up and left the room, giving Amelia a smile and a gentle pat on her shoulder before fully exiting.

"Reefside is about to get a whole lot more interesting." The item he took from the goth moments ago reflected light onto his face as he sat in the chair and focused on the monitor.

"Beasty!" With her arms raised high and a bright smile, she saw her man looking at her, opening his arms with a lifted chin.

"Amelia! You are finally awake. It is two in the afternoon," His nearly monotone voice was surprisingly full of delight, punctuated by a short exhale.

The redhead quickly jogged to him, arms wide open, embracing him tightly as he returned the hug. "Yes, I knoooow.~ Sorry," It felt good to nuzzle her face into his chest. Sighing happily and smiling like a fool, her gaze met his after her head raised. "Can you blame me? I spent all night studying more on the Siren scale's DNA and Broodwing's DNA!" Giggling and using a finger to poke his nose, she saw a hint of amusement in his golden eyes. "Anywaaaay!~ How's my Beasty? You seem a little more relaxed today," When she straightened up and planted a soft kiss on his nose, she was surprised when his forehead pressed against hers.

"Indeed, I am. You helped me exact my revenge on Solar. He was a bigger thorn in my side than the Power Rangers," Amelia stiffened and turned ten shades of red when he nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck. "What kind of shampoo are you using, now? It is not lavender," She heard him smelling, for his nose was close to her ear, and felt a pair of claws pull her against him more.

"I- I- It's not! I mean-- I didn't change my shampoo," It was difficult to find the words when he was being so incredibly intimate. He's smelling me again, but why? I didn't change my shampoo or put on any other kind of body spray, so why is he acting like this? She was so flustered and confused about his behavior that there was hardly any time to step back when a pair of fangs gently gnawed in the crease of her neck and shoulder.

"Whatever it is... Do not change it. Now..." Mesogog trailed, for she felt him release her with surprising gentleness, and watched him look at her with a soft stroke to her cheek with his claw. "I am sure you're aware of my guest. I want you to avoid him when he arrives. Stay around me and do not... Go near him," There were audible tones of protectiveness in his words when he stared at her for the longest time.

"Roger that! Why would I go near him, anyway? You know I'm always everywhere you go and that I prefer to snuggle you more than anything!" After she stepped back with her arms raised again, Mesogog stood from the chair and gave her a relieved look that was as visible as a satisfied cat under a warm sun.

"Yes, but I do not want him getting any ideas," The moment he said that Amelia was quick to give him another hug.

This time, she cuddled against his chest, spinning around to look up at him with her cutest stare. "I don't think you have to worry about that, Beasty. He's married anyway! I don't think he'd care.~" With her back against his chest, she continued to give him the puppy-dog eyes, which seemed to have made the beast aimlessly avert his gaze; a nervous habit that she knew, no one else knew about. "You're so tall.~ The mighty beast! Sir-- Titan himself! And he's all mine.~" Fangirl giggles and her red face is proof of what thoughts started to invade her imagination.

"Yes... As you... Are mine," When he leaned over her face and was about to open his maw, she was about to accept his kiss until she saw something crawl over his shoulder.

"B- Beasty? B- B- Beasty?!" When she was about to turn and back away, he grabbed her head and slipped his tongue out to kiss her. However, he stopped mid-process when she pointed at his shoulder with the widest eyes she'd ever made. "C-... C-... C- C- Centipede!" Quickly, she backed up, pointed at the long Centipede with all its wiggly legs, and whipped out her Plasma Pistol. "Kill it! Kill it, kill it, kill it!" Now she was squealing, for she saw her man pluck it from his shoulder and lift it away to inspect it.

From the insect to Amelia, he was confused but when he held it out in her direction she squealed again and ran around the chair. "No! No, no, no, no, no! Keep that ugly, wiggly, nasty, doomsday, insect thing away from me!" If there's one thing that would completely set her off and gross her out, it would be a centipede. Judging by Mesogog's slacked jaw, he was amused.

"You've conquered enemies, made successful plans, outrun Cyborgs, created monstrosities by combining DNA, created A.O.D, a prehistoric army, ripped soldiers apart, and ate a human being as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Leaped off of a skyscraper... And more! Yet-- you are afraid... Of Centipedes?" He almost wheezed at the humor of it all and lifted the centipede higher for her to see.

"Oh-- you're just finding this funny, aren't you?! Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and that's mine! I can't staaaaaaaand Centipedes... Ugh, yuck! Just look at all of those squiggly legs! Did you know their venom can be very toxic if they bite you? And that some can carry diseases?!" Shuddering and feeling her skin crawl at the sight, her stomach churned, creating an unpleasant sensation. It was comedic, yes, but she certainly wasn't laughing. She ducked and hid further behind the seat when he strode closer to her with it held out.

"This Centipede was supposed to be stowed away. It seems it escaped its containment," Inch by devastating inch, he walked closer.

Amelia wasn't having any of it, for she lifted her pistol and aimed it at the insect. "Kill it, kill it! I don't care if it escaped! Unless you want a hole in the floor, I'd suggest you kill it or put it back in its containment!" Her shaky hand kept the pistol aimed, as she watched his attention move to the wiggly Centipede between his claws and heard him faintly chuckle. "It's not funny! Come oooon-- kill it already! Please!" However, when she saw him continue in her direction, she freaked and sprinted toward the door. "Noooo! Keep that thing away from me!" It was like the drums of doom to her ears when she heard Mesogog running after her and chuckling at her misery.

Around a corner in the hall, she ran and came upon the Throne Room where she saw Stevie and A.O.D. idly stand around. "No! No, no, no, no, no!" The moment she was trapped in a corner, she turned and saw the beast stop two feet in front of her. "Bad! Shame on you! Shame, shame!" When the Centipede was mere inches from her face, she turned her head, squealed, clenched her teeth, and closed her eyes.

But what caught them both by surprise was when a lengthy tongue lashed out, snatched the insect, and pulled it away. She and Mesogog looked at Stevie, who they saw chewing on the bug with delight. "Stevie! Baby! Thank you! You saved me! Daddy was enjoying himself a bit too much," A pout puckered her lips when she looked back at her man and playfully slapped his chest.

"Yes! Now I know, that you have a phobia of them. The next time you threaten to take away the cookies you make me... I will take one of my Centipedes out of the containers," There was a playful tone in his words, and she could tell by the lift of his voice as he spoke.

She gasped and then scoffed before another childish slap to his chest was given to him. "How DARE you... Fine, fine. Which means, I'll have to find another way to scold you and have it be effect--" Before she could finish her sentence, he grasped her chin, pulled it down, craned her head back, and slipped out his tongue.

~~~

"Well, well, well!" Into the Throne Room, walked a man clad in a trench coat of sorts and a mask representing that of a ninja. "Love what you've done to the place! It's homey!" As he stopped before the beast in the Throne, his arms outstretched momentarily. "In a High school Science lab, sort of way,"

Amelia was busy giggling to herself and exploring Broodwing's DNA to care to look when Lothor approached her man. "Lothor. Your reputation precedes you," She heard him speak, giggling as she peeked over her shoulder with a grin.

"Well, don't believe everything you hear. Although there's no such thing as bad press, right?" In her peripheral vision, she saw the evil ninja smile broadly at the beast.

"Right... I suppose you're wondering why I've called you here," Smiling like an idiot, Amelia moved her attention back to the DNA and adjusted the settings on the scope she peered through.

"Let me guess. Does it have twelve legs and come in assorted colors?" She listened to Lothor when he asked Mesogog and accidentally giggled a bit too loudly at the image of a strange, colorful creature with twelve legs.

Thankfully Lothor didn't hear it, but Mesogog did and glanced in her direction. "There's only five colors this time. But they're no less of an irritation!" Amelia could picture the scene without watching; she imagined him leaning over his knees to express his annoyance.

"I feel your pain," Lothor commented. The redhead took a short break from the DNA and walked far behind the ninja, mischief crossing her mind.

Grinning from ear to ear, she decided to pretend to be a ninja. She tried to balance on one leg, nearly falling sideways before catching herself.

"Well. I called you here in hopes..." As he said this, Dr. Ray quickly moved out of the way and she could've sworn she saw a smirk on his maw. "Of an alliance of sorts," she heard him finish. Despite their conversation, she wanted Mesogog's attention even if it was for a second.

Time... To act stupid! I shall try my best to make him laugh in front of the evil ninja! A triumphant fist clenched near her chest when she grinned and watched their backsides. I'm surprised Lothor hasn't noticed me yet. Yay! Which means-- I can get away with mocking Lothor and Mesogog won't be able to say anything! Mostly because he wouldn't want him to see me and possibly stare at me.~ Giggling like mad, she tried to stifle them as she followed.

"I see... I'm listening," When the ninja turned to look at the beast, Amelia ducked slightly and inched away from Lothor while remaining close enough to stay in Mesogog's line of sight.

This time, she pretended to stand on one foot, raising her hands as if she were about to perform a high kick. She noticed that Mesogog glanced at her occasionally, which indicated he was distracted, encouraging her to keep going.

"I have a plan. But it would require the use of your evil Power Rangers," Explained the beast, with amused glints in his eyes no thanks to the mockery of ninja moves behind Lothor's back.

"Ah, you've heard of those, have you? They're all the rage.~" As soon as he said that, Mesogog barely managed to contain a wheeze when he felt the need to chuckle at Amelia's poor attempt at ninja hand signs. Especially when she pretended to focus hard on a hand sign, then waved her hand near her rear as if she had focused too hard and farted.

"I believe there's a way we can help one another. That is... If you're willing to work together as a team, to rid the planet of the Power Rangers... Once and for all." Seeing him walk away and try to avert his attention from her, she could tell he was trying to keep his composure in front of his guest.

Hahahaha! He can't help himself! I am too good! She couldn't help but gush at the fact that she could break past his composure and make him crack, it was one of the many fun things she enjoyed about him.

"So... Who's the redhead? Your slave, or perhaps a minion of yours?" This caught Amelia by surprise. With her mouth agape, she stared at the ninja who she saw turn towards her and give her a grin.

What? I thought I was sneaky! I was totally sneaky! Wow... He really is a ninja.~ Cool. He sensed my presence! Or... Maybe he just saw me when he came in and didn't care to mention me since he had business with my Beasty. As she pondered, her gaped mouth formed puckered lips, and used a finger to poke at them. Her intense gaze directed at the floor suggested deep contemplation.

"Do not compare her to such incompetence! She..." Mesogog began, for he stepped closer to Lothor and leaned toward his masked face, much to the ninja's displeasure. "Is at my side. She is my woman," Protectiveness, and possessiveness, both reflected on his face when he growled furiously at him.

Mmm, I love it when he acts like that! I don't know why... Internally squealing, her face heated and her smile broadened at the display. She had to cover her eyes with her hands, a sad attempt to hide her flustered state.

"So, you have a wife, do you? Amazing! And here I thought you were just keeping a cute scientist around, for something to stare at.~" Lothor laughed and glanced at Amelia, just to anger the beast more.

She watched her partner use his claws to pull the ninja closer, menacingly growling a warning. "She is cute... And she's mine! Now..." Began Mesogog as he released a dumbfounded ninja. "Back on track," The glare he gave would send chills down anyone's spine, but it made Amelia gush harder and turn away to hide the deep blush on her cheeks.

He didn't even deny me being his wife?! Wait, does that mean he plans on... Plans to... M- M- Marriage?! EEEE! If she were in an anime, she would've had a major nosebleed and fainted from the blood loss by now. Despite her excitement, she could only suppress her squeal and keep her fangirl side in check.

About ten minutes later, a bulky alien entered through the double doors and nearly startled her with his loud voice. "Sir. The Troops are assembled and ready for battle!" Scooting closer to her man, she watched the General bow to the ninja; Elsa had returned and stood on the sidelines the entire time.

"Your General has done well," the dino man praised, as he gazed upon the large armored male.

Before the General could say much, Lothor interrupted and stepped closer to the beast. However, Amelia noticed him flash a smile at her before continuing, which made her brows furrow in confusion. "Enough about him. Let's get this show on the road. We have a world to command! And the clocks are ticking," With that, he walked away and Amelia heard her man growl irritably before following along.

Oh, he's getting mad.~ Lothor's trying to push him and that's not good! Well, he's going to get a bad ending anyway. But, why is Lothor smiling at me constantly? And why did he say I was cute? He's married, right? The redhead shivered in disgust at the thought, until Elsa stopped them both when she leaned close to her man.

"Master. I know it's not my place, but do you really think it's wise to trust them? I mean--" Before the goth could continue, Mesogog was quick to face her with a growl in his words.

"Of course, it's not! That's why I don't. Lothor is a pawn. When I'm done... He will be a mere footnote, in our dino restructuring of Earth," After removing his hands from Elsa's shoulders, he offered his arm to her, but Amelia growled and ran around to latch onto him instead.

This took them both by surprise, especially when she glared daggers at her man with a frown, that she knew he saw. "I was not touching her with intimacy, Amelia." Had the redhead glanced at Elsa, she would've seen the goth stifling a giggle from how jealous Amelia became and it was quite amusing to the dino man, judging by his wheeze.

"Good! Remember... If you touch another woman, I will snip your claws and toss them into a vat of acid. Or... I'll paralyze you with my pistols. I've made some upgrades.~" As she walked out of the room, linked to his arm, she ignored the goth striding on the other side. With a toothy grin, she lifted the pistol from her lab coat.

"If that is the case. I should do it, just to see your reaction.~" What he said, made the redhead gasp and smirk, for she lifted the pistol again and wiggled it near his face. It was clear he enjoyed toying with her as his dark chuckle escaped his lips.

"Then-- I'll have this prepped.~" When she saw him shake his head and lift his chin, she knew he was enjoying her playful threats. I really will, if he touches Elsa again. He's mine... Mine! He's my Beasty! With a bright, energetic smile and soft giggles, she walked down the hall with her lover.

~~~

I do not like him. He is a buffoon, a moron, and he dared to even flirt with my woman. Once his usefulness has ended, I will make sure to turn him into a doll... Preserving his corpse in plastic-- I can look back and imagine how pathetic and incompetent he was. He is nothing... He is foolish! A life in plastic is a good punishment, just as I gave Solar exactly what he deserved for hurting my Sweet. On the inside, Mesogog fumed, as he watched all of the Power Rangers fight Elsa and their combined army.

After the Rangers decimated the army, he compared Lothor's ambush to Amelia's successful plans. "Your plot... Has failed!" Through a growling fit, he pushed Amelia away from him gently and was relieved a little bit when she listened to him.

"You two!" He could see it, the look on the ninja's face. The devastation that he was trying too hard to hide behind his angry facade. "Get down there and do some of that ninja stuff you're always bragging about!" He could tell by the sound of his voice that he was on edge.

"Gladly!" The pink-haired woman Mesogog didn't care for, sparked with excitement.

"Yeah! Okay!" The brunette cheered before the two women ran out of the lab and chose to confront the Power Rangers. But as they approached, the Ninja students were released, their strange attire swapped for ninja academy robes, and they joined the team.

"I knew I shouldn't have trusted those two!" He could smell it. The fear from the ninja as he saw him gaze at the screen.

"And I knew, I shouldn't have trusted you!" With a swift exhale, he whipped his head to Lothor and growled. "You have flirted with my woman despite my warnings and failed your plot! So, it looks like... This planet has one too many evil villains-- and I have no intention of leaving," His claw raised for emphasis before his head tilted from one side to the other almost mockingly.

Amelia scooted far against the lab, for she knew what was coming next. Mesogog and Lothor jumped back for some space before the beast hissed loudly as he did during the fight with Solar. When a red energy beam fired from the ninja, it missed him by an inch, so he took that as his chance to strike. He charged after the man with a kick and a swipe of his claws, just to be swung around into a console behind the ninja.

Thanks to the liquid Amelia had given him, the electricity sparking from the console did nothing to hurt him. After he saw Lothor go after him, he lifted his foot and pushed him away.

Lothor rolled and did a quick shot at the beast, which surprisingly did nothing to his thickened skin. Thanks to Amelia's modified potion, his tougher hide shielded him from the shot as he charged after the ninja, deflected many of his strikes once he reached him, and effortlessly lifted him above his head.

The surprised wails from Lothor went ignored, for Mesogog's mind was set on one thing and that was to get rid of the person who didn't heed his warnings. Straight onto a chemistry station and over the other side, sparks flew and crashes echoed through the room.

He didn't stop there. As soon as he charged after Lothor, the ninja jumped over and landed behind another station, with a swift kick to send it in the beast's way. However, all Mesogog did was jump over it and land next to the ninja.

Now they fought for dominance. The beast had no intentions of flaying the ninja, as he did to Ace, for he used his strength to hold him still. "Say goodbye, Lothor! And this time... Mean it!" The moment he made a lengthy exhale, was when he sent a wave of red from his head at the ninja and turned him into a spark of energy. It moved quickly through the air and into a container nearby, turning into a figurine behind glass.

"Very collectible," He walked over and carefully picked it up. "This should serve as a gift to Amelia and a constant reminder of what happens to those... Who steps out of line and flirts with her," Pleased would be an understatement, for an overjoyed lift in his tone was noticeable, until he saw his woman step closer.

"Beasty? Do you want me to clean up the lab? Your fight made a mess," As soon as she was within arm's reach, he turned and carefully pushed the jar against her chest.

"Take it," There was a sense of pride and ego that inflated in him. His chest pushed out and his shoulders straightened when he tried to appear as dominant as possible. "Did you know? Dinosaurs... Especially predators, perform various skills and sometimes-- fights another, to impress a female they want... As their mate?" As he stepped around the redhead with his claws barely grazing her tan neck, he leaned over her shoulder and pulled her red locks out of the way. "Sometimes, they do it to impress their current mate... And a lot of dinosaurs only ever pick one," There was an emphasis on the last word, as if to make an insinuation, and whispered into her ear with a subtle lick. He was able to feel the increased heat from her face when her cheeks lit up like a Christmas tree.

"R- R- Really?" Dr. Ray didn't know that. Her stumbling words and nervous behavior were approving signs of his actions, so he pushed further.

He wanted to impress, to make her flustered, to see her face red with embarrassment and more. "Yes. To show affection, some dinosaurs press their heads to their mate's head or rub their faces against each other..." He trailed, rubbed the side of his maw against her cheek, and wrapped his arms around her torso. "I could show and tell you more... When the time comes. Because I doubt you are ready to hear," Purposeful desire laced his words, as he spoke seductively and growled when he nuzzled into the crease of her neck.

"B- Beasty, I love you.~" Giggles were heard and a soft kiss was felt on his cheek, it was warm to his otherwise cold-blooded body. "Did you know that most reptiles are cold-blooded creatures and they seek external heat to support their body temperature?" She too rubbed her cheek against his and continued to chuckle at his behavior.

"Yes. But that is one out of the many reasons, as to why I hold you," He didn't want to admit it. He couldn't, something deep inside him refused to admit it and tugged on him to prevent him from saying it. After his long villainous life, it would prove difficult to admit it to her. "Now... Silence. I want to take in your smell and warmth," Yes, all of her warmth that he loved so much. All of her, not just her external body temperature, but everything else, which he's addicted to.
