Kendrix: Wow, after the first chapter, you already added the dark and gloomy stuff.
Me: I had to add it early Keni.
Kendrix: I won't waste my breath any further. Lets just start the show.
Chapter 2: Rejected
(Scene switch: Astro Megaship/Kendrix' POV)
Myself and the gang hung out on the Astro Megaship. By chance, myself, Kai, Mike and Damon got a week off work. Sheesh! Captain Stanton is being too nice towards us. Maya decided to give myself and Krone some privacy.
I was say… having a private conversation with Krone because being evil, for a first timer like me, it affected me psychologically. I still blame myself for hurting everyone and brought down my self-confidence, by a lot. Curse these powers! I stared at Krone, then looked away.
"Kendrix, you have to stop blaming yourself. You can't turn the clock. You have to face it." Said Krone,
"How can I? I hurt you, the others… Leo.",
"You love him, don't you?" The Pink Galaxy Ranger asked me,
"Um… I do, but I hurt him so badly! I ended up putting him in the Medical Bay! Near death! Critical condition!" I exclaimed,
"That wasn't your fault! You had no control of your actions!" Before we could continue on further, the alarm went off.
«Warning: Monster attacking Centre Dome in Resident Sector.» I sighed. I fear using my powers now. Resident Sector, full of people. Krone stopped at the door and yelled at me to hurry up and come on. So I caught up and we made a run to catch up with the others.
(Scene switch: Centre Dome, Resident Sector/Kendrix' POV)
Myself and Krone finally caught up with the others. I don't see any monster Trakeena sent out or stingwingers, just yet. Maybe they're waiting to ambush us and of course, after the experience of being evil, I can kinda' think like one. The obvious method is ambush, take us on unexpectedly.
"Rangers!" A demonic voice bellowed. We turned sharply to see our opponent. My jaw dropped. How!? It's impossible!
"Psycho Red!?",
"Close Psycho Pink, but I'm a faster, stronger and upgraded version of Psycho Red. It's Striker Red. Now, you have two choices: join me or die." I went into my defensive stance, no way I'm having a replay of being evil!
"Ready!" Leo yelled out and we morphed.
"Go Galactic!" The five yelled out in unison,
"Magna Power!" Mike commanded. I hesitated to morph, but I did it.
"Psycho Power!" Then, Striker Red was accompanied by Trakeena's stingwingers. Striker Red unsheathed his Psycho Sabre and charged. I went face to face with him.
I dodged a basic hack by side-stepping to the right. I hooked my right arm around Striker Red's sword arm and flipped him. He landed with a "thud", dropping his weapon and I kicked it away before he had a chance to arm himself again.
"Not bad Psycho Pink. Not bad." He laughed. I clenched my fist, he's taunting me. "But if you wanna be a hero, then be a hero!" He fired a red-crimson plasma laser from his hand, directed at a block apartment and made a coward's run.
"No!" I ran, as I saw the rubble collapsing, which was about to crush a five-year old child. I wonder where the mother is? The child screamed, waiting for the worse to come, as a large piece of the building was getting closer. She had her eyes shut. I took out my Psycho Bow, fired, destroying the section of the building into smaller rock.
I put my arms around her, so that I'd take the hit. Smaller bits of rock bounced harmlessly off my armour. Once it stopped, I stood and the five-year old child looked up at me as her saviour.
"Psycho Pink! You saved me!" She squealed. I knelt down at eye level,
"What's your name kid?",
"Amy. Amy O'Connell." I smiled under my helmet,
"Nice to meet you… Amy." Then, her mother appeared, with a couple of residents who escaped the collapsing apartment. None of them seem to be hurt, but there was a worried look on her face.
"Amy, get away from that Ranger!" She ran and picked up the kid,
"No mommy! You don't understand! Psycho Pink saved me!"
"Psycho Pink is dangerous! She's a member of the Psycho Rangers! They are evil! Listen honey, back on Earth, I was there for their appearance and they are dangerous! Stay away from Psycho Pink!" Hurt hit me like lightening. The other residents started to jeer me and tell me to leave. I sadly left. I can't believe they rejected my help, for saving a five-year old! Maybe… maybe don't like Psycho Rangers on the team.
"Kendrix wait!" Leo shouted, but I ignored him. I walked away, wordlessly, making my way to the Astro Megaship.
