Ch 4 Vipra Returns

Minrinoi lab center. Main hospital

"I am sorry about all this Kendrix. I know this is hard. Over the years you've had to endure many tests." Dr. Merin tells Kendrix.

"It's ok Doc. I know it's confusing. Do the tests tell you anything?" Kendrix asks.

"No I am sorry Kendrix. We are no closer to finding out how you came back to life. Do you remember anything?"

"No sorry. Just suddenly I was in front of everyone. It was like I passed through a doorway."

"Alright you can go home for now; I have to asses these test results. I'll call you tomorrow."

Kendrix gets dressed and walks toward her home on Mirinoi. She runs into Maya.

"KENDRIX!" She says running over to her hugging her.

"Maya. Geez I only went to the doctor."

"Hey I lost you once and I'm not going to let a day go by without giving you a hug. What did the doctor say?"

"Same as last time they have know Idea why I am alive."

"Well I don't care why I am just happy that you're alive. I wish you didn't have to have these tests. It's wrong. It was a miracle plain and simple. They should leave well enough alone."

"I don't like these examinations, believe me. But they are just standard procedure. There has to be a scientific explanation for my existence."

"Standard procedures do not last for 10 years. We should leave for a while. Go on Vacation. We could catch up with Karone and Andros see what their upto on KO-35."

"I could use a Vacation." Kendrix Sees several cloaked figures appear surrounding them and a Woman stands before them she has a snake like helmet and the wings of a bat.

"Hello rangers!" Vipra says.

"Vipra? Dana told me you were killed twice!" Kendrix exclaimed

"I am a Demon! Mere blasters cannot destroy me! My master has brought me back just like before!"

" Kendrix go! Get Leo and Mike!"

"No way Maya. I am not leaving you!"

"No I am not losing you again; go!" Maya charges the figures. She gives one a flying kick. And spin kicks another. One jumps at her but she ducks and it collides with two others. Kendrix reluctantly runs in the opposite direction toward HQ.

About a half hour later she returns with Leo, Mike, and Kai. But Maya is gone.

"DAMMIT! I knew I shouldn't have left her!"

"It's not your fault Kendrix. You probably would have been taken too. Don't worry we'll find her." Kai says reassuringly.

"Ok. Lets head back to the base."

Kai, Leo and Mike turn and begin to walk to the base. They walk for a few blocs and Leo discovers Kendrix is not walking with them.

"KENDRIX!" Leo yells

"She must have run away when we turned around DAMN! Kendrix!" Kai exclaims.

After stopping to pick up her Quasar Saber Kendrix stops at KO-35. she attempts to contact Karone but instead gets Cassie.

"Kendrix! Good to see you again you look good for a dead person. How is Kai? I hope he is having fun visiting; his Daughter and I are waiting for him to come home. " Cassie laughs.

"Thanks Cassie. He's good probably on his way here right now. I wish this was under better circumstances. I am trying to reach Karone. Mirinoi was just attacked by Vipra."

"Vipra who's Vipra?"

"She's a Demon Lightspeed fought a few years ago. She took Maya."

"Oh no! Kendrix I haven't been in contact with Karone in a few weeks. I have also heard from Katherine Hillard Pink Zeo ranger that She has not heard from Tommy in three days. She called to see if I knew anything."

"This is more than a coincidence Cassie. They must be connected."

"I agree Kendrix. Meet me at the Megaship we'll pick up Katherine and go see Dana hopefully she'll have an explanation."

Kat comes home after her second day of following leads to Tommy's whereabouts. She has not slept in almost 36 hours she is crashing and has made the decision to pick the search up again tomorrow. Kim is waiting at her door.

"Kim! What are you doing here?"

"I am sorry it took me so long to get here. Kat Tommy and I were attacked by Scorpina the day before yesterday."

"What? Tommy was with you! He lied to me to be with you!"

"Kat didn't you here me we were attacked! Tommy was Kidnapped!"

"I heard you! Tommy lied to me and was with you the whole day and now he has been kidnapped! If it wasn't for you he would have been home with me! Why was he with you anyway?"

"We met for lunch. Its been a yearly thing for about 5 years now. After you left him when he went to fight Mesogog it became a more regular occurrence."

"So he was seeing you and lying to me the entire time we were together! I hope he rots in HELL!" Kat exclaims with a scowl.

"Kat no! you don't mean that! You have to come with me, we have to find Tommy!"

"I have looked for Tommy for over two days now! What have you been doing!"

"I was in the hospital! I was there when he was attacked! After I got checked I came to find you!"

Kat begins to contain her anger. She realizes she has no choice. Kimberly may not be her favorite person and she may want to kick Tommy in a precious area but she has to join with Kimberly to find him.

She sighs… "Alright! I will help you find Tommy but only so I can see the look on his face when I tell him its over!"

"That's up to you Kat. But for Tommy's sake we have to work together. So what leads have you followed so far?"

Just then Vipra again appears in a blaze of fire. "HAHA! Hello Pink Rangers! My Master has sent me to Destroy you! And I will!"

The girls stand in martial arts fighting stance fists out. Ghouls sprout out of the ground and attack. The girls defend them selves. Kat catches a punch from a ghoul and flips him over with a judo type toss. Kimberly spin kicks one Ghoul into two others. She jumps her legs split knocking two more ghouls down. Kat grabs another and rolls back ward pushing the ghoul up over her as she rolls back. The Ghouls regroup behind Vipra. She charges up her sword blasts at the girls. However, The Pink Astro Ranger Cassie lands between the girls and the blade she catches the blade and pushes it back at Scorpina it explodes in front of her. She snarls at Cassie. "ATTACK!" She commands thrusting her hand at the girls. Suddenly the Pink Galaxy Ranger Kendrix lands in front of them and slices three ghouls destroying them.

"SATELLITE STUNNER!" Cassie yells as her weapon appears in her hand. She fires at the charging ghouls blasting each one down and Kenrix slashes the last few in half. Vipra is left alone. Noticing that she is out numbered she teleports away.

"CASSIE! THANK GOD! Did you find Something out about Tommy?" Kat exclaims

"Kat, Kim, This is Kendrix Pink Galaxy Ranger." She motions toward Kendrix who nods. "Come on the Megaship is waiting. I'll explain everything there."

"Wait Cassie. I have to get some things from the house." Kat says as she runs in the house.
