Onboard the Megaship, Zhane and Andros ran to the Medical Bay. Carlos, T.J., and Ashley were already there. Cassie still lay unconscious. Alpha was near the computer.
"Alpha, what can you tell us?" Andros asked.
"Nothing I can't show you. I've managed to adapt the screen to show us what is happening within Cassie." Alpha explained.
Everyone gathered around the screen. From black, it changed. They could see Cassie, but she was not alone. Striker Pink stood with her. Both were fighting, and Striker Pink was winning.
"This is the reason Cassie was struggling. Striker Pink is attacking Cassie from within her own body." Alpha explained.
"Is there anyway we can help her?" Andros asked.
"There is." Alpha lifted a small device. "I've managed to make this transmitter. One of you will be able to transmit your subconscious into Cassie's mind, allowing you to help her." Alpha said.
"What would that person have to do?" T.J. asked.
"The volunteer would need to be sedated. The transmitter will only work if the person is unconscious. If things go badly, we will be able to wake you up without problems. However, there is a risk of not returning if you are destroyed." Alpha explained.
"I'll go." Ashley volunteered.
"No way. You three are from Earth. And I have something for Zhane to do. I'll do it." Andros said.
"We will begin when you're ready Andros." Alpha said.
Andros nodded and motioned for Zhane. They walked out of the Medical Bay and ran to the bridge.
"Zhane, I want you to go over every bit of data on here. Maybe there's something we can use against Striker Pink." Andros explained.
"But how do I tell you?" Zhane asked.
"I'm sure Alpha can figure that out." Andros said. He turned to leave.
"Andros, good luck." Zhane said.
"Andros nodded and ran out of the bridge. Zhane quickly uploaded the disk and began scanning files.

Back in the Medical Bay, Andros sat on the bed next to Cassie's preparing. He held the transmitter in his hand, waiting for Alpha's instructions.
"Once you are fully unconscious, the transmitter will send your subconscious self to Cassie. There you will be able to aid her. You should be able to use your morphed seeing as you have it with you." Alpha explained.
"Will Cassie be able to morph?" Andros asked.
"Cassie may be able to, if her morphed is latched to her wrist, it may appear to her." Alpha explained.
"Is there a way for communication between there and here?" Andros asked.
"Yes Andros. We will be able to talk to you, however you won't be able to talk specifically back to us." Alpha answered.
"And we'll be watching you two from here." T.J. said.
"Correct T.J." Alpha replied.
Andros nodded. He felt himself growing nervous. He attached the transmitter to his right temple. "Ready."
"Very well." Alpha walked to the controls and began programming the transmitter. Andros felt it start working immediately. He ears rang in pain with a high-pitched noise. Andros winced at the pain.
"Andros, the transmitter emits the sound to test your control. If you control is perfect, it will subside in ten seconds." Alpha explained.
Those ten seconds were the most painful second Andros had ever experienced. But the noise did subside. He opened his eyes and waited for further instructions.
"Now Andros, you must relax now." Alpha explained.
Andros nodded and laid back on the medical bed. He looked over at Cassie and sighed. Ashley walked to him, the syringe in her hand.
"Come back safely." she said.
"I will. And I'll bring Cassie with me." Andros replied.
Ashley gave him a sad smile and administered the sedative. Andros quickly began feeling tired. The Medical Bay grew blurry. Everyone stayed near him until Andros lost consciousness.
