Chapter 2:
After leaving the youth center, Cassie decided to head on back to her apartment for some relaxation and a chance to think about the events of the day. Andros is really cute! she thought, with a grin before frowning at her thought. Don't think like that Cass, you know better than most that love is a cruel thing in your world. she told herself sadly. Cassie was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't even notice the crowd of beings that had surrounded her, until she heard a cruel,sinister laugh. Finally taking notice of her surroundings, Cassie almost panicked when she saw that she was surrounded bad guys, once again, but this time T.J. wasn't there to help. Looking up at the woman, she burst out in laughter at her fashion sense.
"What do you find so funny, human. Why are you not shaking in fear at the mear sight of me?" the woman demanded, gripping her staff tightly to try to rein in the anger she was feeling.
"Oh nothing much. It's just that your fashion sense it stinks-I mean is it halloween already." Cassie started with a smirk before raising an eyebrow in confusion. "And why would I be scared of you, when you look like you can't even dress yourself in a morning." she finished, not really allowing herself to assess the situation that she was in.
"Why you insolent little brat-" the woman started pointing her staff at the her.
"Ah-ah-ah!" Cassie said shaking her finger at the woman. "Now seen as though i'm knew round here, how's about you tell me who you and your little freaks here are?" she said in suggestive tone, pointing at the beings around her.
"Fine. But then I will not hesitate in destroying you." the woman growled in frustration, as she lowered her staff momentarily. " I am Astronomer and my friends here are called quantrons." she said in a proud tone, whilst glaring at the girl infront of her."Now quantrons, destroy her." she yelled and the beings began to surround Cassie.
Cassie went into a fighting stance that had become familiar to her since fighting alongside T.J. a year ago, and suddenly realized that she wasn't in a good position to defend herself from all of the attack. Without realizing what she was doing Cassie did a sudden back flip and landed in a clearing, that gave her a fair chance to take on the quantrons, and possibly Astronoma to!she thought wryly. The quantrons were trying to surround Cassie again and she decided that it was hi-time she started fighting. She ran towards the nearest one and did a sweep kick of it's legs, knocking it down before turning to face the others.
Meanwhile on the Astro Mega ship:
The Astro rangers sat at a table in the canteen thinking about the days events. "So what do ya think Cassie is here to make up for?" Carlos asked whilst eating his fifth bowl of ice cream. Ashley and Andros shrugged and turned to T.J. who had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Leaning into his chair, the blue Astro ranger turned slightly to look at his friends. "Perhaps-perhaps she's here because she felt that she made the wrong choice, when she was asked to be the next pink turbo ranger." he said in a thoughtful tone, thinking back to a time when he had fought at the side of her. She's an amazing fighter! he told himself in an admiring tone.
"Alert,alert! Rangers danger alert!" a computer's voice brought T.J. back to the present time, as he and the other rangers ran towards the bridge.
Running towards the controls on the center of the bridge Andros spoke to the computer." DECA whats the problem?" he asked whilst pressing the control buttons.
"A human is currently outnumbered by quantrons and Astronoma in the central park." the computer droned whilst giving the rangers a visual of the scene. The rangers eyes remained glued to the scene for a moment before T.J. broke away and looked at the others. "It's Cassie you guys. We've got to hurry!" he said in an urgent tone whilst moving about frantically.
Ashley stood forward and gripped her friend by his shoulders. "Don't worry, we'll get her Teej." she said in a reassuring tone and her friend nodded his head. Turning to face Andros and Carlos she smiled at them before yelling, "Ready guys!"
Her friends nodded and they headed towards the shoots to head down to Earth.
Central park:
Though starting off well in the fight, Cassie was definitely in trouble now. After taking down at least five quantrons, Astronoma had managed to strike her down and she was now being held by them whilst glaring at her enemy.
"I must admit you put up an impressive fight,human. But in the end it is I who will destroy you..."Astronomer paused for a moment before snapping her fingers together."Unless you tell me where the power brats are." she said in a smug tone, whilst giving the girl a cruel grin.
Cassie held an unreadable expression on her face whilst maintaining a strong glare on astronoma, before laughing at her her. "You think I know the rangers. Wait a minute. You think I know where the rangers are. Ha! you know that you should be a comedian right? With the way that you crack me up sometimes. And even if I did know where the rangers are I would never tell you." she yelled, whilst struggling to get out of her captives arms.
Astronoma cackled and pointed her staff at Cassie, "Your arrogance annoys me more than those pesky rangers,but it shall be your downfall as I destroy you now." she said with venom as she prepared to strike the girl down.
"Spiral sabre." the red astro ranger shouted as he jumped in to stop the attack. Astronomer stepped back a little from the surprise attack, whilst the red ranger turned around to face the girl. "I need you to hide somewhere okay, me and my friends will come find you soon." he said in a hoarse tone before turning back around to face his enemy.
Cassie didn't need to be told twice and ran towards some bushes to keep out of the way.
The other rangers came up to the red ranger and looked at Astronomer, who glared at them all. "You know i'm quite insulted to find that you've found somebody who annoys you more than us." the blue ranger said in a mock-hurt tone, whilst folding his arms.
The purple haired woman glared at them all. "Mark my words rangers, one day I will destroy you." she said before teleporting away. The other rangers looked at each other before remembering about their friend Cassie.
"Has she gone then?" a quiet voice called out from behind, clutching her arm and looking around cautiously.
"Cassie, oh thank god your alright." the blue ranger said stepping forward and powering down.
Cassie almost fell to the floor in shock, but the pain in her arm made her unable to think of much at the moment. "Wow Teej, the blue power ranger." she gasped in surprise before turning to the others. "So that would make you Carlos, Ashley and Andros." she said pointing at the green, yellow and red ranger in turn. They all nodded before powering down and walking towards her themselves. "Wow!" she said before falling to the ground due to the pain in her arm.
The others rushed to her as T.J. picked her up and looked at the others. "We should take her to the Mega ship you guys." he said in a grim tone, knowing that their destinies were now entwined in more ways than ever. The others nodded in agreement and the rangers headed back to the mega ship.
