Soon
enough, it was obvious that this villain wasn't part of their
usual clientele. This one was...
Better.
After a very brief moment of
shock Zach bellowed Doc and Niko to retreat and give Goose more
space for his performance. Still, even the Supertrooper did have
a hard time matching the other one's martial arts skills. He
seemed to enjoy himself, though. The other three rangers watched
in silent awe. Even in their line of duty, it was a rare occasion
to see the true extend of the ST's martial arts mastership.
Whoever the other one was, he was almost as good, or...
The
villain's left foot connected with a sickening crunch with the
ST's private parts.
The watching
men winced in sympathetic pain. Niko reached for her badge, but
she lowered her hand when Goose didn't double over.
The
villain took a small step back at the fanged smile of cruel
acknowledgement. "That, my friend," the voice was
incredibly soft, "was a mistake." The ST nodded courtly
as if he was in an arena. "Now I don't have to play nice."
The
fight didn't last more than thirty seconds afterwards.
"Are
you okay?" Zachary asked in a low voice as he helped Goose
to toss the crook into the arrest cell onboard
Ranger-1.
"Sure." The
ST triggered the forcefield that sealed the cell.
"That
kick looked rather ugly."
"I
wouldn't be here if I don't know how to shield what I can't
cover." A cynical half-grin flashed over the edge of the
younger one's mouth. "It's a somewhat classic violation of
the rules."
Zach had a
final glance at the still unconscious villain. "You reacted
rather violent yourself, Goose."
"I
hate it when they get personal."
