After the hit

" Cassie are you okay." T.j. asked

" No uhh my shoulder.." Cassie mumbled as she held her hand on her throbbing shoulder

" Cassie...I'm...so sorry.." Carlos inputs frustrated

Ashley and Andros helped their pink clad friend up from the ground..and all five Space Rangers teleported back to the Astro Megaship

" I'll take care of Cassie rangers.." Alpha 6 informed as they demorphed

" Alright Alpha..but give us an update when your finished.." Andros stated

" Sure thing Andros..come along Cassie."

Carlos watched as Cassie was lead down to the infirmary...then the Black Ranger headed towards his quarters

An hour later

Carlos stood outside the infrimary before making himself known.." May I come in."

" Of course Carlos..I'll go let the other rangers know what the result was on your examination."

Cassie and Carlos looked at each other

" I'm really sorry about you shoulder..I didn't mean it"

Cassie placed her hand over top of Carlos's.." I'm okay it's just bruised..it'll heal in a day or two..we're rangers we get hurt and mostly it's by accident..just like this was."

" It's not that easy..I care about you..and I hurt you..I let my anger get the best of me!"

Cassie watched Carlos pace before looking at her then walking out of the infirmary.." Aaaahh."

After reuniting with Adam

Adam sits on the bench listening to Carlos's story then offering him learn some self control

" I'm just not cut out for this..your wasting you time."

Adam placed his hand on Carlos's forearm..but soon removed it and watched as Carlos turned and fled out of the park

On the Megaship

Andros, Ashley and Cassie watched as Carlos placed his astro morpher and communicator on the console

" Come on Carlos you can't quit." T.j said as he tried to hand the devices back to him

Carlos stepped back then picked up his bag and went over to the hatch.." I have to before I hurt somebody else I care about."

Cassie locked eyes with Carlos before the doors closed all the way

In the Park

" There you go..we can start with a few laps around the"

" I'm not the Black Ranger anymore." Carlos injected as he showed of his left wrist..then turned and walked away only to knocked of his feet by the monster

Adam started to fight off the Quantrons before reaching into his bag and pulled out his old morpher

" Adddaaammm...nooooooo"

Adam surveyed the situation before doing the morphin stance.." Mastadon."

Carlos got pulled to his feet then punched in the stomach

" Go get out of here!"

" What about you..Adam your not supposed to be morphed.."

" Just go!"

Adam shoved Carlos away..who started running then stopped and went back and tackled the monster off the former Black Ranger

" Need some help." Cassie shouted as she and the other Rangers stood at the top of the hill

Adam and Carlos continued to attack the Monster while the other space rangers handled the Quantrons

" Carlos catch." Cassie screamed as she threw the morpher towards him..Carlos jumped up and caught it..." I am the Black Ranger..Let's Rocket!"

Adam gave Carlos a thumbs up as they worked together in tandem until the Morphin powers started to weaken

After the Battle

" Are you okay man."

" Yeah I'm fine..a ranger does what a ranger has to do

The remaining rangers came up and gathered their teammate off his feet celebrating the fact that he's staying

On the Megaship

" Carlos always remember that you are special and unique..especially to me anyways." Cassie implied then placed a kiss on his cheek "Welcome Back!"

Carlos let his hand rest on the side of his cheek where Cassie kissed him at.." Thank you Cass" the black ranger whispered with a smile on his face as he turned and went to his room
