DECA: When the rangers are trapped on a deserted planet, without their powers, and seperated, they have to survive on their own, against QueenPsycho.. Andros walks onto the bridge Ashley is there waiting Ashley: Come see this! Stellar clouds! Carlos_ walks onto the bridge, behind Andros. Travis is up on the Simudeck Andros: these are some of the most beautiful clouds i've seen in awhile... Ashley is awestruck Andros puts his arm around Ashley Carlos_ looks outside, not paying attention to the two love birds. Ashley snuggles into him a little. Travis walks onto the bridge Hey Carlos, Whats happening DECA: He's an alien Ashley realizes the bridge is overpopulated and goes back to her work. DECA: *The Clouds Fade Past, and the Black Depths of Space Reappear.... Carlos_ doesn't even hear Travis at first, since he's looking at the clouds, and thinking to himself.. Ashley sighs Travis: Hey Carlos.. You okay? Carlos_ snaps back into reality. Carlos_: Huh? *looks over* Oh, yeah. I'm fine. Andros: DECA is Earth still quiet? Ashley: Don't jinx us Andros.. DECA: Affirmative Andros: i just had a bad feeling Andros monitors his control panel Carlos_ sits down at his console. DECA: Warning.....Psychotrons attack on the Planet of Verdande Ashley looks at Andros. Ashley: What did I tell you? Carlos_: Well.. Earth was quiet.. But you forgot the other planets.. Andros: Set course for Verdande Maxium Hyper Rush Velocity Travis: *thinks* What do you think is on Verdane that is causing the Psychotrons to attack it? Andros: i don't know.....i never heard of it DECA: Course Plottede Andros: Engage...... QueenPsycho waits on the sweltering planet's surface. DECA: *The Ship is thrown Foward into Hyper Rush Andros: Travis scan the Planet's surface... Travis: Right Travis goes to his console and scans the surface DECA: Now arriving at Verdande Andros: ok we gotta get to the jumptubes Ashley does some quick scanning. Travis: There's thousands of Psychotrons on the surface.. but I can't see anything that they might be after Ashley: There they are, near the equater. Ashley: That planet is hot stuff. We should be in environment suits. Andros: no the ranger suits can handle it Andros heads for the Jumptubes Ashley sighs. "If you love sweat maybe.." Ashley leaps into her JumpTube, morphing instantly. Carlos_ follows. Andros: LET'S ROCKET!!!! Andros slides down the jumptube Andros transforms into the Red Ranger Andros jumps onto his Galaxy Glider Travis jumps into his Jumptube DECA: *The Rangers Transporter Patterns get scrambled, and they're sent to different regions of the planets Carlos_ slides down his jumptube. Carlos_ transforms into the Black Ranger. BlackRanger jumps onto his Galaxy Glider. YellowRanger materializes and is immediately blinded by the scorching light. YellowRang: Geez! Close the shades! RedRanger materlizes, and looks around......not seeing any of the rangers or any of the Psychotrons he trys his communicator YellowRanger realizes she is alone. "Guys?" BlueRanger lands on the surface and looks around seeing only desert land RedRanger touches on his communicator and says: RedRanger: come in anyone DECA: *Static* RedRanger looks around, and suddenly demorphs BlueRanger: Ashley?? Andros????? Anyone?? Andros: That's not suppose to happen Ashley: What the..? BlueRanger demorphs Andros: this is not suppose to happen Ashley touches her communicator and says: Ashley: Come in guys. Andros are you there? Trav? Travis: Hey What happened? BlackRanger is on a hill, and noone else is around. Guys? Ashley: Carlos? BlackRanger suddenly demorphs. Ashley starts walking, sheilding her eyes from the sun. Carlos_: What the? Carlos_: *into communicator* Guys. Do you read me? Andros starts walking around head from Tree to Tree DECA: *Static* Travis starts walking towards a big sand burn in the horizon Carlos_ looks around, and shields his eyes from the light. Hello?! Ashley thinks she sees some smoke on the far horizon. A tiny wisp of dark against the blinding sky. Andros looks around Ashley heads towards the thing on the horizon, hoping she's moving closer to her friends, not further away Carlos_ starts walking around, making sure to shield his eyes from the light while he does. Carlos_: Guys?! Andros: all alone again..... Andros: oh well PsychoAshley watches them all, smiling. "Now which one first..." PsychoAshley materializes near Carlos's position and runs toward him. "Carlos!!" Carlos_: *looks over, still shielding his eyes* Ash? PsychoAshley runs up "s'Me!....got...demorphed....somehow. You ok?" Carlos_: Yeah.. Which Ashley are you? PsychoAshley looks taken-aback. "YOUR Ashley. Why would I run in this heat if I was her?" Carlos_: Just to fool me, maybe? PsychoAshley sighs. "Carlos, do we HAVE to go through this every single time?" Carlos_: Well... Carlos_: I guess not.. PsychoAshley shakes her head. "Come on. See that smoke over there I think this planet is under attack!" PsychoAshl: We should go help. Powers or no. PsychoAshley waits till Carlos is walking just ahead of her. PsychoAshley trips him, sending him sprawling in the dust. PsychoAshley then kicks him in the ribs and elbows him brutally in the back of the head! PsychoAshley holds Carlos's head down. "You're the gullible one, that's why I got you first." Carlos_: You won't get away with this, Ash.. PsychoAshley pounds him a little more. "Who's gonna stop me?" PsychoAshley beats him till he's bloody. Carlos_: Just because I don't have my powers, doesn't mean I can't fight! Carlos_ leg sweeps her off her feet. PsychoAshley falls on her butt but only laughs, cause he can't really do much else. He's too badly hurt. Carlos_ tries to get up, but can't.. PsychoAshl: Now to bake slowly till burned to a light crisp.. PsychoAshley gets up and leaves him lying on the barren ground. PsychoAshl: Have a nice life. What's left of it anyway.. PsychoAshley teleports out, laughing. PsychoAshley ponders her next target PsychoAshley looks down on the Bleachy-haired Ranger that just joined his friends on the planet. PsychoAshl: You. PsychoAshley teleports down. Zhane looks around Zhane: *to himself* Where are the others? PsychoAshley waves. PsychoAshl: Hello Zhane. Zhane: Oh great.... PsychoAshley is in a yellow polka dot bikini. Zhane: Come back in say, ohhh never PsychoAshl: Welcome to the beach. PsychoAshley saunters up to him. Zhane: Nice.... Bikini PsychoAshley makes sure he can see how nice it is. Zhane: I...Ummm... Can.... What do you want? Zhane just stares at PA for a minute "You gonna answer my question?" Zhane: *quietly* Think about Karone.... Karone Karone Karone Karone Karone... Karone *sighs* PsychoAshley presses herself up against him. "It's pretty hot out here, don't you think?" Zhane: It is a little warm today Zhane: All things considered I'd rather be at the beach with Karone PsychoAshley shrugs, tracing patterns on his chest. "You take what you can get.." Zhane shivers Zhane starts sweating PsychoAshley smiles sugestively. PsychoAshley whispers in his ear "I'm a dream you know...the heat's getting to your brain..." Zhane: No kidding... Zhane keeps sweating PsychoAshley starts to take hold of him. "You could fulfill every fantasy you ever had about me...and I'll never know.." Zhane: I... I... I ca.... Can't PsychoAshley 's smile disappears. PsychoAshl: Fine. If that's the way you wanna play it. Zhane keeps sweating and gets a little twitch in his neck PsychoAshley jams a stun gun into his back and hits the button. Zhane: AAHHH *jumps* Zhane: *quietly* What did I do?! PsychoAshley trips and kicks him a few times, suddenly back in her Psycho armor PsychoAshley jams the stun gun into his neck Zhane grabs PsychoAshley by the arm and flips her over Carlos_ is lying where he got beaten up at, still trying to get up, but can't. PsychoAshley hits the dirt but kicks his legs out from under him! Zhane: *shutters* I shoulda just had my way while I had the shot Zhane lands and lays there stunned PsychoAshley jumps on him when he hits the ground and sticks the gun in his neck again. PsychoAshl: Say goodnight Zhane Zhane: Goodnight Zhane PsychoAshl: *GGZZTT* Zhane passes out PsychoAshley watches him stiffen, then go limp and start to twitch. Zhane lays there PsychoAshley leaves him to burn Zhane waits till shes got off him then jumps up and tackles her PsychoAshl: OFF! Zhane slams her face into the sand PsychoAshley rolls on the ground, elbowing him in the ribs as hard as she can Zhane: You shoulda stayed on our side, coulda had fun Zhane: AHHHH!!!!! DAMNIT! PsychoAshley suddenly gets an arm into a grip. "I'm having fun NOW!" Zhane grabs his ribs "Oh damn ow!" PsychoAshl: *CRACK* Zhane: OH GOD!! PsychoAshl: YOu should have kept in your place. PsychoAshley gets up and dusts herself off, leaving him writing. Zhane consideres sweeping PA but lays there in pain Zhane: Oh god it hurts..... Zhane: damnit PsychoAshley walks away PsychoAshley teleports in a flash of light. Zhane lays there screaming in pain Zhane keeps screaming PsychoAshley materializes near Travis, again, far enough away to have to run to him. PsychoAshl: Trav! Is that you?? Travis: Ashley?? Hey where did you go earlier?? PsychoAshley reaches him and nearly falls to the ground. "Travis thank GOD you're here...Psychotrons got me!" Travis: Where are they at? PsychoAshley shivers, her clothes having been ripped somehow. PsychoAshl: Trav, have you seen them? Are they here? PsychoAshley looks around frantically Travis: No.. I've been looking for you Travis: are you alright? PsychoAshley stands as close to Travis as she can. "I..I dunno...they wouldn't let go of me." PsychoAshley begins to cry. Travis puts his arm around Ashley.. Its gonna be okay... PsychoAshley cries into his shoulder. "This always happens. The Psychotrons scare me so much, I can't fight back when they capture me!" Travis: Don't worry Ashley, I won't let them get you PsychoAshley sniffs. "Promise?" Travis: yea, I promise PsychoAshley hugs him tight. "Thankyou.." PsychoAshley suddenly wraps her arm around his waist and tosses him over with a hip-throw. PsychoAshl: *THUD* Travis: Ashley?? whats wrong with you??? PsychoAshley drops her elbow into his stomach and cracks him across the jaw. PsychoAshl: Just giving you practice! Travis trips Ashley Your not Ashley PsychoAshley falls and kicks him in the knee. PsychoAshl: No shit sherlock! Travis jumpkicks at Ashley PsychoAshley takes a boot heel to the jaw and hits the ground, hard. Travis grabs Ashley Where are the others? PsychoAshley hangs in a daze.. PsychoAshley gets the stun-gun into her hand.. Travis trys to grab the gun from Ashley PsychoAshley had it backwards, so he's now holding the business end. PsychoAshl: *GGZZTT* Travis falls to the ground Zhane sits on the beats still screaming PsychoAshley sits up. "You have a mean kick, kid." Carlos_ gets up to his knees, but can't move anymore, and falls back down. Travis trys to get up Andros climbs down the tree, and heads northwest PsychoAshley gets up and walks away from her latest victim. PsychoAshl: Amateurs. PsychoAshl: Now for a real challenge... Carlos_: *thinking* I knew I should've watched her like a hawk... PsychoAshley teleports in a flash of light. PsychoAshley appears near Andros, in her armor but no helmet. PsychoAshley waits for him to look up and see her. Andros turns around Andros stands there in silence waiting for QP to make the first move PsychoAshley looks at her feet. "I saved you from dying the other day." Andros: what do you want from me, a medal? PsychoAshley shrugs. "I dunno what I could have been thinking.." Andros stares at her....."What do you want?" PsychoAshl: I got you here, now I'm going to get rid of you. I'm tired of this war. Andros: you know you can't do it... PsychoAshl: But I can make it hurt. Andros: and they're an easier way to end this PsychoAshley arches a brow Andros: just give up, and we can end this all....right here right now..... PsychoAshl: Give up to who? PsychoAshl: YOU? Andros: it's as easy as that..... PsychoAshl: And then what? You kill me? Andros: no.... PsychoAshley snorts. "This is some deal Andros." Andros: no we can let you live a normal life..... PsychoAshley laughs out loud. "Do you think I can be normal again after this??"" Andros: yes...i believe so... PsychoAshl: You're even more psycho than I am. Andros: but, you know we'll win eventually PsychoAshley shakes her head. "I'd kill myself sooner than live like a normal human again." PsychoAshley takes out the stun gun. Andros: c'mon ash.....just come back with me Andros steps back some..... Andros: we can just end this here and now...... PsychoAshley falls into a fighting stance. "Fight me. We'll decide that way." Andros: i won't fight you ash.... PsychoAshl: Then I'll kill us both. Andros: i don't think you will..... PsychoAshl: You have to stop it. Andros: stop what? Andros: this.... PsychoAshley lunges for him Andros dodges her, and elbows her in the back PsychoAshl: UNGH! PsychoAshley goes sprawling Andros extends a hand to help her up "Take my hand, and we can end this" PsychoAshley grabs the hand and yanks him down on her, jamming her knee in his stomach PsychoAshley feels it tool Andros lands next to PsychoAshley Andros: we're going to destroy both of us..... PsychoAshl: *pant* Sound good to me Andros: i have to disagree.....i plan to do a little more in my life.... PsychoAshley tries to hit him with her fists Andros rolls away from her, and gets up..... Andros: stop the madness Ash......we can end it all right here..... PsychoAshl: Madness is all I am you idiot! Andros: no....it's not..... Andros: you've shown me love, and caring before..... Andros: you can do it again.... PsychoAshl: Like you want any of my love and caring! Andros helps Ashley up PsychoAshley keeps her distance still Andros: no........but there may be others, like your family.... PsychoAshley snorts. Andros: just give it a chance.... PsychoAshley looks at him as though she wants to.... PsychoAshley 's hand moves towards his PsychoAshley 's voice cracks "Andros, I want to.." Andros holds out his hand fully exteneded....."Come on Ash......." PsychoAshley takes his hand gingerly Ashley holds her smoking blaster trained on the two. PsychoAshl: AUUGH! PsychoAshley is shot in the back, goes tumbling into Andros Ashley: Get away from her Andros! Andros lands on the ground, with PsychoAshley on top of him PsychoAshley groans in real pain. Ashley: Andros are you alright? Andros remains silent.... Ashley holds the blaster on PsychoAshley... Ashley: what's going on? Andros: She was just about to surrender, and give up, Ash....... Andros: and return with us...... Ashley frowns. "She was tryig to trick you into getting close enough to beat you up." Andros remains silent.... PsychoAshley drags herself away from Andros. PsychoAshl: I just saved you again.. PsychoAshley teleports in a flash of light. Ashley lowers the gun. Andros looks at Ashley, "Where are the others?" Ashley: I don't know. But I'll bet we'll find them now that she's gone. Andros walks past her without a word, and starts looking for the others.... Ashley just follows him. Ashley points to a dark thing on the ground up ahead. Ashley: It's CArlos. Ashley starts to run. Ashley kneels next to him, grimacing at the dried blood on his face. Ashley: Carlos, wake up, it's us. Carlos_ opens his eyes, and looks up, and sees Ashley, and almost jumps back. Ashley backs off. Ashley: I'm sorry Carlos... Ashley: she's gone now, it's me. DECA: *****Com*****Rangers***comm**ication rest*red....come in Power ranger communications restored Andros touches on his communicator and says: Ashley looks at her communicator Andros: DECA teleports us up Carlos_ looks over to Andros, then back at Ashley, and relaxes.. DECA teleports all the rangers up DECA: *Later On* Andros sits at the Work-Bay table all alone, looking out at the jumptubes.... Ashley walks in quietly. Andros notices ashley, but remains silent... Ashley: I um..I set Zhane's arm, and Trav's hair is a little curlier than before but he'll be alright. Carlos is resting too. Andros looks down at the table.... Ashley tiptoes in and sits by the door. "I don't want to make you any madder at me than you already are..." Ashley: ..but I still think she was trying to fool you. Andros: we were as incredibly close to peace, as we ever had been.... Ashley: Why would she soften just like that? Ashley looks down. Andros: she was ready to give it up.... Ashley: Maybe she still is. Maybe she's ready to break? Andros: no.....not anymore..... Ashley closes her eyes. Ashley: I don't want to watch you get hurt trying to save her. Andros: i would have been fine.... Ashley nods, not really believing him but not wanting to argue either. Andros: and i'm not mad at you either.....i probabley would have done the same thing.... Ashley looks at him, wondering if its safe to venture near Andros looks at Ashley, and smiles.... Ashley gets up and comes to him. "I'm sorry.." Andros nods Andros: it's ok Ashley hugs him goodnight, then leaves him to his work.. **************** The End ****************
