Me: Call me weird, yes I am. This is actually Part 2 of the alternate Mini-series of Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy. I got inspired by Har-el's stories. Yes there is slight similarities but I hope he won't mind. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Welcome to the Team and Nightmares
(Scene: Living Quarters/Kendrix' POV)
Myself and the team sat in the Living Quarters waiting for Kai to serve dinner. I was sitting next to Maya and Krone, the new Pink Galaxy Ranger, after I got landed with Psycho Pink's powers. My hand mindlessly rubbed my left wrist, where I wear the Psycho Morpher. It felt heavy on my wrist. There are days I miss the Galaxy Powers, other days I don't care, others days, I think the powers are a curse. The Psycho Powers were used for evil, Psycho Pink was evil and then, I was evil for a couple of weeks, but thanks to my friends, they helped me, by destroying the Savage Sword that keeping a hold on me.
"Dinner's ready!" Kai said. Myself, Maya and Krone looked, seeing the others, Mike, Leo and Damon taking their seats. We got up and grabbed the seats. Kai served the dishes. Man, he's one hell of a cook.
"Very exotic Kai. Asian Beef?" Kai smiled,
"Good guess Keni." I sighed,
"Please don't start. It's bad enough Leo and Mike use that nick-name.",
"I think it's cute." Krone snickered and I playfully punched her arm. "Hey! I was kidding! It's Maya you want to punch!",
"Alright girls, settle down." Leo said. We all started to eat Kai's meal. Damn it was good. I never tasted food this good.
"Kendrix, what was it like… falling into the crevice? The same way I did?" Asked Mike. I stopped eating my meal on hearing that question. I bit my lip. I've trying to forget that moment on Rashon but nightmares keep me awake. Let alone, having nightmares of falling endlessly in that crevice.
"When… when I fell, I thought I was gonna die, but no. Psycho Pink was lucky to land on ledge, where the Savage Sword landed on as well. I lost consciousness and then… I just found myself on the surface. Everything else was too vague or happened too fast." My voice began to lower. My team mates went silent.
"Feels like Magna Defender all over again." He muttered,
"Yeah." I muttered myself,
"Kendrix, what happened was in the past. Just leave it there. Welcome to the team." I smiled slightly.
"Thanks Leo." Once dinner finished, we all went to bed. My friends were all asleep, but I couldn't. The Rashon Incident just kept me up. It had a grip on me, mentally and it wouldn't let go.
(Flashback/Scene switch: Rashon/Kendrix' POV)
I watched as Psycho Pink raised the powered up Savage Sword, preparing to stab it into Cassie's Astro Morpher. Despite that I felt weak, I used all my strength to pull myself up, ran towards Psycho Pink, dived on the dirt, grabbed the morpher and threw it at Cassie. Psycho Pink blindly drives the Sword into the ground. The ground began to shake violently.
Cassie got up, the other Astro Rangers, Andros, TJ, Carlos and Ashley came running, so were my friends, bar Mike. Suddenly, the ground groaned, then let out a deafening CRACK! The rock began to separate into a large crevice, similar to the one Mike fell in back on Mirinoi. A section that myself and Psycho Pink were standing on, gave way. Psycho Pink was first to fall into the endless darkness, as her screams became fainter and fainter. The Savage Sword disappeared along with her too.
Then I fell, quickly clutching the ledge, but for some reason, I knew it won't hold me for long.
"KENDRIX!" Leo yelled, as he dived for me, for my hand. "KENDRIX!" He shouted again, but it was in vain. I knew it was hopeless. He can't hold on forever. It's too late, I can't be saved.
"Leo, let me go! You'll fall in as well!" I told him,
"No! Kendrix just give me your hand!" He shouted. I sadly shook my head,
"It's hopeless Leo." With Leo keeping a firm grip on my hand, I reached over and started taking off my Transmorpher. I reverted back into my human state. I handed it to Leo.
"I don't want your Transmorpher! I want you! I'm not losing you the same way, I lost Mike!" Despite his dismay, he took it.
"I believe in you Leo!" I was saying the exact same words as Mike. "Leo, I love you." Leo's eyes widened with shock.
"I love you too Kendrix." He sobbed. He finally realised I can't be saved. I then used my free hand, to free myself from Leo's over-protective grip and I fell, into the dark depths.
"NO!" And his voice became fader and fader. Soon, I couldn't see him and everything was black.
(Flashback Ends)
When I came back, in Psycho Pink's suit and of course evil, I never forgave myself for what I've done. I hurt everyone, especially Leo. From then on, I vowed to set everything right, but, even though I use the powers for good now, I wasn't prepared for the civilians to hate me. The feeling of rejection and unwanted.
