Andros: didn't want to have to do this Andros turns a nob all the way, and watch the machinery start viabrating.. QueenPsycho starts to choke Ashley Andros: that's not good Andros steps back Andros watches the machine overload, and shoot sparks SilverRanger sits there with a arm around karone SilverRang: This sucks, I'm bored PurpleRang: makes two of us...

ZhaneRanger runs over and checks to make sure she has a strong heart beat and pulse YellowRanger gasps for breath, pawing at her helmet ZhaneRanger pulls Ashleys helmet off QueenPsycho walks over to the cage with her sword BlackRanger takes off his helmet.

ZhaneRange: *looks up at the bitch* Kinda sucks, try it sometime ZhaneRanger is clastrophobic QueenPsycho jabs her sword through the bars, making them scramble to keep from being shishkabob CarlosRanger moves back. ZhaneRanger grabs the edge of the sword with a gloved hand and kicks PA in the gut "LET US OUT!" ZhaneRanger takes his sword and slashs her through the cage KaroneRanger heads to the back of the cage* Zhane! Stop being a wonder boy and get back here! QueenPsycho moves back out of his reach, and teleports the sword back into her hand.

ZhaneRange: I know *grins* QueenPsych: You'll never get a flat tire, anyway RedRanger slices QP, and then leg sweeps her KaroneRang: Ok.. we're on the beach... AshleyRanger looks down at the ground. They're nearly a hundred feet in the air. A fall would smash every bone in their bodies JoannaRanger peeks over the edge of the cage floor and gasps QueenPsycho clashes with Andros again and again, finally getting too tired to defend herself KaroneRanger looks down "Kick her butt Andros!" ZhaneRanger trys to picture himself on a beach with Karone so he isn't pannicy QueenPsycho retreats to a safe distance QueenPsych: Psychotrons? CUT THE ROPE! KaroneRanger smiles* Working any Zhane?

AndrosDELTARanger presents a small little box to Ashley AshleyRanger lifts the lid off and nearly faints at what's inside.. DECA: *ON THE BRIDGE, HALF AN HOUR LATER* Zhane sits on the bridge talking with Karone grinning Carlos_ sits at his console, not really paying any attention to anything..

AshleyRang: Carlos, I...I sort of want you to know how special you are to me.. AshleyRanger looks back down. "Um...I guess i've been sensing something from you for a while but I didn't know what to do with what I knew. I just wanted to try to make peace with you now that...now that this is happeneing.... Carlos_ doesn't say anything.. AshleyRanger opens her hand, revealling a dazzling heart shaped jewel set into a pendant. AshleyRang: I told Andros I'd talk to everyone first, then we'd make it official. I thought you deserved to know first... AshleyRang: Is there anything you want to say? Carlos_ sighs a little, then looks over to Ashley. Ash.. I'm happy for you.. I really am.. Just that.. AshleyRanger listens sincerely. Ashley: Carlos, what is it? Carlos_ smiles to her.
