A/N - Please guys, let me know if you want me to keep the previews or not. Enjoy!
The Astro and Zeo rangers sat around the conference table, one deck below the bridge. The Zeo rangers, excluding Rocky, who had gone back to the hospital for rehabilitation, were invited onto the ship for a meeting regarding the psycho rangers. They all sat around the table, with their eyes focused on the holographic projection of Kosin in the middle.
"First Teir Kosin of the ninth Regiment. Five years ago, he was arrested and sentenced to prison on the penal colony PC-X03. He's very smart, and very strong. He's also their leader by the looks of it."
Andros was giving a report on the five psycho rangers, so that the rangers could be better informed of their opponents. Andros clicked a button on the round remote control he had in his left hand.
"Next we have Tenkar. He, like Kosin, is a very skilled fighter. He's been in the same penal colony as Kosin for almost three years. He was serial killer. Zhane and I captured him back on KO-35."
Andros moved onto the next person. "Morana, is pretty much the same as Tenkar. She's a serial killer, with a legendary bloodlust. Her judgement can be clouded easily by emotion, so we can use that to our advantage."
"Torzen is the brute force of the group. He worked for the Gerks of Drek, a mercenary group, before the fall of KO-35. I can only assume he's working for Dark Specter now."
Andros looked at T.J. as he changed the holographic projection to Kelsa. "That brings us to Kelsa, a former Intelligence officer in the Karovan Military Science division. She was suspected of bribery, and espionage, but was never actually convicted, due to a lack of evidence. She's got fairly advanced military training, and she's very good with computers and technology." Everyone glanced at T.J. once or twice while Andros spoke about Kelsa.
"So, what's the best strategy for dealing with these guys?" asked Tommy.
"Well, if I know Kosin, he'll have changed his team's tactics as well. He'll probably want to split us up and then take us out, since we have strength in numbers. So, we're going to have to stay together as often as we can." Said Andros.
"We can't stay on the defensive forever. We have to go on the offensive." Said Jason, the new blue Zeo ranger. Rocky had given up his blue Zeo morpher to Jason due to his injury.
"Can we? T.J. and I fought Torzen, and we were getting our asses kicked." Said Carlos.
"We have to stop them before they kill us, Carlos. We don't have a choice." Said Andros. "Look, it's not going to be easy, but we can do it."
Andros saw that everyone was a little bummed out by the last battle. He knew the rangers needed to raise their morale. "Alright. Let's take a break. How about a tour of the ship?"
"What about the plan?" Kat asked.
"It can wait. It looks like we could all use a break, so, come on. Let's go." Said Andros as he headed for the door.
The tour began with the bridge. They showed the system controls, and the view screen. They also introduced the rangers to Deca.
"Zhane, can I talk to you alone for a moment?" Andros asked as the others were leaving the bridge. Everyone turned and looked at Andros and Zhane.
Zhane looked back at the rangers. "We'll catch up." He said.
Andros waited for the rangers to leave before he spoke. "Back on earth, when we first saw the Psycho rangers, I gave you an order to hold your position. You disobeyed me." He said.
"Yeah, I know." Said Zhane.
"That decision could have gotten another of us killed." Said Andros.
"What do you want from me Andros, an apology? You know what Tenkar did, and I'm not sorry that I took a chance to kill him." Said Zhane.
"Damnit Zhane! You could have gotten yourself killed!" Andros said angrily.
"Well I'm fine!"
"Next time you might not be fine! I saw how you were fighting! You were blinded by your emotions you couldn't even land a hit on Tenkar!"
Zhane didn't know how to respond. He knew Andros was right. His emotions had blinded him.
"I know you want to kill him, but you have to use your head! You have to put the mission first!" said Andros.
"And when you tortured Karone, was that putting the mission first?! Or was that just you trying to get revenge?!" Zhane yelled.
Andros swung his right arm and punched Zhane, who fell to the floor. Zhane got up and tackled Andros, taking him down. Zhane was on top, punching Andros. Andros kicked him away, and they both got up. They kept apart and breathed heavily.
"Feeling better?" asked Andros.
"Sorry."
"If you want to kill Tenkar, that's fine. Just keep your emotions in check. Or else you'll end up like Cassie. And I've already lost too many friends."
After the tour and a lunch break, the rangers met back in the conference room.
"I've thought about what we could do. Here's what I've come up with. I'll offer myself up as bait. In the meantime, everyone will keep their distance from me, and wait until they attack. Once they make contact, you'll come to help me." Andros explained.
"That's suicide." Said Adam.
"It's the only way." Said Andros.
"I'm coming with you. You need someone to back you up. Besides, it'll seem less obvious if there are two." Said Tommy.
"Very well. We'll do this tomorrow." Said Andros.
A semi-exciting chapter cause of the Zhane Andros thing. It was about time for some buddy conflict. You are going to LOVE next chapter. It's all character based.
Uh, please tell me if you like the idea of previews or not. Please.
Here's the next preview.
Ashley turned around and faced Andros. Tears began to fall from her eyes again. Ashley buried her face in Andros's chest and began to cry. "I miss her so much." she said as she sobbed.
"I know." Said Andros, with his arms wrapped around Ashley. "I miss her too." He said
