She was temporarily taken over by the lights due to her starsign. Weeks after this incident Rani picked up an alien pendant from a boy in school. She realised that the pendant allowed the user to control others. Scared by its power Rani left it in Sarah Janes attic. However when Paul Langer found it she and Luke had to contact Sarah Jane and stop him from being taken over by the Berserker pendants alien power. In later weeks Sarah Jane was trapped in the past in the village where her parents had died. The trickster was at work. Cylde and Rani found the puzzle-box given to Sarah Jane and it protected them from the changes that the Trickters interference caused to modern Earth. They used this as an advantage to eventually stop him and free his Graske slave Krislok. In Autumn 2009 Ranis mother was kidnapped by Bane fugitive Mrs Wormwood. She and Sarah Jane rescued the two of them from an attack from the enemy Bane agents. Rani and Sarah Jane then accompanied the Brigadeir to the black archive to find the tunguska scroll which would lead them to the mind of the evil entity that the bane were looking for, Horath. However Mrs Wormwood double crossed them and teamed up with rogue Sontaran Commander Kaagh to take over the universe, with Luke in tow. Rani and co confronted Wormwood,Kaagh and Luike at the entrance to Horaths domain. Sarah Jane rescued Luke and Kaagh threw Mrs Wormwood and himself into the alternate reality just before it sealed itself forever. Later in the year Rani and the gang also had to deal with a minor Slitheen incursion in the attack when a lone member of the Slitheen family disguised as galactic ambassador Ranius attempted to steal K-9. However they managed to send him back to where he came from.
