A/N: Here's the start of the Psycho Ranger arc, one of my favourites throughout the entire franchise.

I really had trouble with this one, because that's quite a lot of action.


Previously on Power Rangers in Space...

Andros and Astronema spin around to hit each other.

In a battle with Astronema, Andros...

Andros knocks Astronema's locket off her neck.

..tore the locket from her neck and...

Andros opens Astronema's locket, showing pictures of himself and Karone as children.

..discovered they are brother and sister.

Astronema walks onto the bridge of the Megaship, as Andros looks at her.

Then, after joining the Rangers...

Andros stares at Zordon on Yotoba.

..as they searched for Zordon...

Astronema sat cuffed in the engine room.

..Astronema found that no one...

Astronema fires lighting out of her staff at a bunch of Piranhatrons.

..trusted her, but later she proved herself.

The Rangers and Karone stare at Dark Spector on the Megaship's viewing screen.

Dark Spector threatened Earth with...

An asteroid shoots down towards Earth.

..an asteroid...

Andros and Karone turn to each other.

..unless Astronema was returned to him.

The Astro and Delta Megazords begin pushing on the asteroid, to steer it away from Earth.

Our heroes tried to...

The Mega Voyager begins helping with the pushing.

..change its course with their...

The three Megazords struggle pushing the asteroid away.

..Megazords, but to no avail.

The Mega Winger shows up and begins helping the others.

The Sliver Ranger used the...

The four Megazords push the asteroid off course.

..new Mega Winger and they succeeded.

Andros and Zhane stare at Astronema in horror on the Dark Fortress.

Later, Karone was discovered...

Astronema turns to both Rangers.

..to have been reprogrammed to evil.

The Satellasers hit Frightwing, making him grow giant.

Will she prevent the Rangers from finding Zordon?

Zhane and Andros both do a sideways handspring on either side of Frightwing.

Find out on Power Rangers in Space next.


In a warehouse, the six main Rangers all ducked as a owl monster called Hoothead swooped over them all, then they got back up. Hoothead then swooped back towards them, and then Carlos punched him in the chest as he flew over them, causing him to fall onto the floor and roll over. He got up and turned to them all, then his eyes glowed angrily, and then fired lasers out of them, which hit the ceiling.

"Agh!" the Rangers groaned, as rubble fell from the ceiling in front of them.

Hoothead laughed as the six Rangers gathered together with their weapons out.

"Attack formation!" TJ ordered, as they formed a line behind him.

Hoothead fired lasers out of his eyes at them, but TJ deflected them with his Astro Axe. Ashley then rolled to her right, while Cassie rolled to her left.

"Star Slinger!"

"Satellite Stunner!"

They both fired their weapons, hitting Hoothead in the chest.

"Solar Spear!" Mel shouted, throwing it away.

It then landed near Hoothead, which then sent lighting out which then hit him.

"Aghh!" he yelled.

Andros and Carlos then jumped up, then kicked their feet against TJ's shoulders, and then TJ jumped up. All three of them they slashed Hoothead in the face with their weapons, knocking him away. He landed in a crate, splitting it open, as the Rangers gathered together.

"Hi-yah!" they shouted, holding their left hands up like pistols.

Hoothead then got up and grew giant, smashing the ceiling open as he did.

"Whose gonna stop me now?!" he growled, hootingly.

The Rangers ran outside the warehouse and looked up at him.

"We need Astro Megazord power now!" TJ shouted.

Up in space, the sides of the Megaship then came out slightly, then turned slightly, forming some arms, while the bits that had split lowered themselves and changed into leg shapes. The shuttle then attached itself to the top, forming the Astro Megazord.

"Astro Megazord online!" Andros shouted.

The Astro Megazord then shot down towards Earth, and then landed in front of Hoothead.

"Astro Megazord Blaster, fire!" Andros shouted.

The Astro Megazord brought out its blaster, and then fired it at Hoothead, hitting him in the face, creating a puff of smoke. He then ran through the smoke, then jumped up and swooped down towards the it, hitting it in the chest with his head, as it grabbed his wings. It then spun around while keeping hold of him, before throwing him away.

"Ohh!" he moaned, rolling along the ground.

He got back up and growled, and then fired lasers at it, but it brought out its shield and deflected them.

"Aghhh!" he screamed, as yellow lighting and sparks came out of him.

"Astro Megazord Saber, online!" Andros shouted, pointing at Hoothead, before clutching his fist.

The Astro Megazord brought out its saber, which then glowed brightly, and shot a laser at Hoothead, hitting him.

"Aghh!" he groaned.

The Astro Megazord then turned around, before Hoothead fell onto his chest and was destroyed.

On the Astro Megaship, Andros sat on the bridge, looking at the pictures of himself and Karone in his locket. He sighed sadly, as he began to remember how happy he was before Karone was kidnapped and turned back into Astronema.

(Flashback)

Karone sat cuffed in the engine room.

"But I bet I'm not exactly what you expected." she said.

Andros sat near the doorway.

"But I'm really happy that I found you." he said. "Are you?"

"I don't know yet." Karone said honestly. "I guess I'll just need some time."

"You've got all the time in the world now." Andros told her.

(Flashback ends)

Andros kept staring at the pictures in the locket, when Ashley came onto the bridge, and then towards the left controls. She began working on the controls, but then turned to Andros as he closed his locket, and saw how upset he looked. She then walked towards him and wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"Hey." she said. "I have an idea. How 'bout we get the others, and we all take a break?"

"What'd you have in mind?" Andros asked.

Ashley patted his chest. "Come on." she said.

She turned and walked off slightly, but then turned back when Andros looked at his locket again.

"Ah. Come on." she said, grabbing his hand.

Andros got up from his seat, and then they both walked towards the left door.


Later, all the Rangers - expect Zhane - were sitting at a table at the Surf Spot, and then Adelle walked towards them with two trays full of burgers and fries.

"I thought you guys fell off the face of the Earth." Adelle admitted, putting the trays down. "Even Sara was worried."

The Rangers all took a plate each, Cassie adding some extra fries on hers from the seventh plate, which was full of them.

"Wherever you been, you sure brought back an appetite." Adelle said, before she lifted the trays up.

"Uh-uh." Carlos muttered, grabbing a eight plate from the trays. "Thank you."

Adelle then walked off, as Mel turned and saw Sara waiting a table nearby.

"Here you go." Sara said, putting two drinks down to a couple.

"Thanks, Sara." the girl said.

Sara smiled and then walked back to the counter.

Mel smiled as he friends began biting their burgers.

"Mmm." Ashley and Cassie muttered, as Mel took a bite from hers.

"The Synthetron never made a hamburger as good as Adelle's." Cassie mumbled.

The others chuckled in agreement, when a beeping noise that sounded like their morphers got their attention. Andros touched his communicator as the others looked around, then they all got up when they heard the noise again. They looked around and saw Mandy, one of Ashley's and Mel's old dance students, sitting at a table nearby with an small weird laptop, before they heard the beep again.

"Hey, Mandy, what is that?" Ashley inquired.

"It's my new Copernicus 2000." Mandy explained. "It keeps addresses, messages, anything you can want. Kinda like having a second brain."

Andros and Carlos turned to each other.

"Can I see it?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah." Mandy said, handing it to her.

"Thanks." Ashley said, taking it.

She looked at it in amazement.

"Wow." she said, showing the others.

The others all looked at it, and then TJ pressed a button on it, making the beep noise that sounded like their morphers, making them all laugh.

"Very cool." Ashley commented. "Thank you."

She handed it back to Mandy, who took it.

"Your welcome." she said, putting it on her table.

"Hey, that thing sounds like our communicator." Carlos whispered.

"A big coincidence." Mel added quietly.

A male waiter then walked out form behind the counter with a tray full of ice-cream sundaes. Carlos and Cassie then walked towards the counter, as another waiter put a tray with six sodas down on it, as the TV news was on.

"Once again, we have reports..." a newswoman reported, as Cassie took a soda, while Carlos picked up the tray. "..of a catastrophic disturbance in downtown Angel Grove."

Cassie drank some of her soda from a straw, as she turned to the TV.

"The perpetrator is unknown, but whoever it was..."

"Wait, Carlos." Cassie said, getting Carlos to turn to the TV.

"..or whatever it was that destroyed these buildings is incredibly powerful." the newswoman went on. "The culprit struck like a tornado, tearing everything to shreds. We have a witness."

Cassie and Carlos kept staring at the screen, as the witness just came into view.

"Oh, wait, here come the Power Rangers now." the newswoman said.

Cassie turned to Carlos, both looking confused, as the Power Rangers showed up on the screen.

"Hopefully we'll be able to get a word with them, and they'll be able to shed some light onto the atrocity that just occurred here. And perhaps clue us in as to who or what was the cause of it all?" the newswoman hoped.

Carlos and Cassie looked more confused, but then noticed that the six squares on the Ranger suits were all black instead of multicolored, telling them something was wrong.


In the downtown area, the fake Rangers approached the newswoman and her crew.

"Rangers, can you tell us what happened?" the newswoman asked.

She held the microphone near Red, but then all the fake Rangers brought out their Astro Blasters. The newswoman knew something was wrong, and then most of her crew ran off.

"Fire!" Red shouted, his voice sounding echoing.

They all fired at the newswoman and her crew, who all ran off scared. As they ran past a van, the real Rangers all came out from behind it, and then turned to the fakes.

"There they are!" Andros said. "Let's go!"

They all ran closer to the fakes, then Red laughed as they put away their Astro Blasters.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Red asked.

The real Rangers stared at the fakes.

"I can't believe it." Ashley gasped.

"They look just like..." Carlos said, unable to finish.

"They can't be?" Andros muttered.

"Like looking in a mirror!" Orange sneered.

"You can't be Rangers!" Mel snapped.

"Ah. But we are Rangers!" Blue snapped.

"And we're here for one reason..." Yellow said.

"And one reason only." Pink finished.

"To destroy you!" Red announced.

The fakes charged at the Rangers.

Red then punched Andros in the chest, Yellow sent a kick at Ashley, but missed as she dodged, while Carlos blocked a kick from Black with his forearm. Orange hit Mel in the chest with the palm of her hand, Cassie blocked a kick from Pink, as TJ dodged a punch from Blue. Carlos sent a punch at Black, but he grabbed his arm and lifted it up, before punching him in the chest, Yellow turned around and kicked Ashley in the side, Red ducked as Andros tried to punch him, as Orange dodged a kick from Mel.

Pink knocked Cassie down, but she got back up and then dodged a fly kick from Pink, as Blue knocked TJ towards them. Cassie sent a punch at Pink, who blocked it with her forearms, then tried to whack Pink over the head, but missed as she ducked and tried to tackle him, but missed as Cassie jumped up. TJ blocked a punch from Blue, then ducked under another, before Blue kicked him away slightly. Cassie blocked a chop from Pink with her forearm, then tried to punch her but she blocked it, then Cassie sent another punch, but she blocked it, then another, and then dodged a third. Pink then dodged a fourth and then hit Cassie in the chest with her knee, and then kicked her away, making him stumble, before Pink chased after her.

Mel was knocked against a wall by Orange, who then sent a punch at her, but missed as Mel ducked, causing Orange to hit the wall. Orange then turned and sent a kick at Mel, who barely managed to dodge it, then she sent a punch at Orange, but she grabbed Mel's arm and flipped her over onto her back. Mel then rolled away as Orange tried to stomp on her, but then Orange kicked her in the belly as she got back up, knocking her down.

Red knocked Andros down, then Red brought out a black sword, as Carlos sent a punch at Black, who blocked it with his forearm. Black then ducked as Carlos tried to punch him, then he sent a kick at Carlos, who blocked it with his hands, but then he whacked Carlos in the back, knocking him down. Pink grabbed Cassie's arm and pulled on it, while TJ dodged a kick from Blue.

Red charged at Andros as he got back up, then he dodged a slice from Red, hitting him slightly in the back as he did, while Ashley ran past them, and then turned and blocked a kick from Yellow. Red turned to Andros and tried to slice him with his sword, but missed as Andros ducked and backed away, as Ashley blocked a punch from Yellow, followed by another two, then Mel rolled over nearby, as Orange tried to kick her.

"Spiral Saber!"

Carlos sent a punch at Black, but missed as he ducked, Cassie spun around to kick Pink, but missed as she ducked, and TJ dodged a punch from Blue.

Andros blocked a strike from Red's sword with his saber, then punched Red in the chest slightly, before Red kicked him in the side, knocking him slightly. Both Reds then locked swords together, then Andros tried to hit Red, who spun around and slashed him across the chest. Nearby, Ashley dodged an attack from Yellow, then they both tried to hit each other at the same time, but their arms hit each other, then Ashley spun around to tackle Yellow, but missed as she jumped. Yellow then tried to punch Ashley twice, who blocked the first with her hands and ducked under the second, as Andros spun around to kick Red, but missed as he ducked and ran past him.

Red then kicked Andros hard, sending him flying through a warehouse window, shattering the glass as he did, but then he got up and turned to it. Red then jumped in after Andros, and then slashed him across the chest twice, knocking him down into a pile of tins.

"Uh!" Andros groaned.

He got back up, then he and Red locked swords again, before Red slashed him twice across the chest while running past him, then turned and slashed him again, knocking him down, as everyone else entered the warehouse.

Blue brought out an doubled headed Axe.

"Psycho Spin!" he shouted, crossing his legs over.

He spun around while moving towards TJ, and then hit him repeatedly with his axe.

Cassie rolled to her left. "Satellite Stunner!" she shouted.

She fired it at Pink, hitting her arm while she held a Bow, but it didn't phase her as she turned to Cassie, and then turn invisible.

"Where'd she go?" Cassie gasped, getting up and looking around.

A barrage of laser arrows then hit her from above, then Pink became visible.

"Here!" she sneered, firing an arrow.

"Agh!" Cassie groaned, as it hit her in the chest, knocking her down.

Mel tried to stab Orange with her Solar Spear, but missed as she dodged it, and then Orange kicked her in the chest. Orange then dug the pole end of her spear in the ground, and then spun around on it, kicking Mel repeatedly, until she was sent flying into a crate.

Ashley blocked a kick from Yellow, then ducked and spun around as Yellow tried to whack her over the head. She then blocked a punch from Yellow, then spun around to tackle her, but missed as she jumped up, and then jumped on her shoulder.

"Huh?" Ashley gasped.

Yellow somersaulted forward, before landing on a crate near them.

"Star Slinger!" Ashley shouted, firing it.

Yellow jumped up to avoid the blasts, and then she jumped onto another crate. Ashley then fired again, but missed as Yellow ducked down and then fired her own Slinger, hitting Ashley in the chest.

Carlos rolled over some tins as Black tried to hit him with his Lance, then he got up and tried to hit Black with his lance, but Black knocked it away with his own, and then hit Carlos in the chest with it while running past him. Black then turned and hit Carlos again, then tried to again, but Carlos dodged and wrapped his arms under the end of the Lance, but then Black moved around slightly, taking Carlos with him. Black then lifted his Lance up, and threw Carlos over him and into some barrels, which he knocked over before hitting the floor.

"Carlos!" Mel gasped, as the others gathered around him. "You okay?"

"I've been better." Carlos replied, as Andros and TJ helped him up.

All six of them they stared at the six fakes.

"You were right." Red sneered. "We're not Power Rangers."

"Who are you then?!" Andros demanded, clutching his arm.

Red laughed menacingly. "You'll find out soon enough!" he sneered.

The six fake Rangers all held their arms out, then lighting came out of them all, before sparks went over them.

"Ah!" the Rangers gasped, turning away.

"Whoa!" Andros gasped, as they turned back to the fakes.

The fake Rangers had changed their appearance, and were now mostly black, with white cuffs on the arms and boots, with color markings on. Their helmets were partly their color, with menacing two sharped visors - one for each eye - sharp teeth on the mouthpiece, and a beetle like chest armour, and a weird 'N' shape on their belts. They all laughed as the real Rangers stared in disbelief, and then the fakes began walking towards them. (Orange was on Yellow's left)

"We're the Psycho Rangers." Red explained.

"We're faster than you." Psycho Black added.

"Smarter than you." Psycho Blue added.

"Stronger than you." Psycho Yellow added.

"But we're evil!" Psycho Pink added.

"And your worst nightmare!" Psycho Orange finished.

The Psychos then stopped, and began doing a fight pose.

"Psycho Red!" Psycho Red shouted, holding his left fist up, then held it down and his right hand up, then the others followed.

"Psycho Black!"

"Psycho Blue!"

"Psycho Yellow!"

"Psycho Pink!"

"Psycho Orange!"

"Now we'll show you what a Psycho Ranger can do!" Psycho Red sneered, as they pulled their hands back and held their thumbs up.

"Bring it on!" Andros dared.

The Psycho Rangers charged at the Rangers, each going for their own counterpart.

TJ blocked a punch from Psycho Blue, before the Psycho hit him in the chest while running past him. Psycho Pink then punched Cassie in the back as she ran past her, then Psycho Orange grabbed Mel's arm as she tried to punch her, and then she kicked Mel in the belly. Andros sent a punch at Psycho Red, who blocked it, and then punched him in the chest, while Psycho Black punched Carlos in the chest, and then Psycho Yellow blocked a punch from Ashley, then got behind her and hit her in the back.

Ashley rolled forward, but then turned to Psycho Yellow, then sent a kick at her, but missed as she dodged, and then Psycho Yellow punched her in the chest, and then hit her in the back, knocking her down.

Psycho Yellow then grabbed Ashley's forehead, then Psycho Black grabbed Carlos', then Psycho Orange grabbed Mel's, then Psycho Blue grabbed TJ's, and Psycho Pink grabbed Cassie's. Psycho Red then grabbed Andros', and then they began sucking information out of them - Mel and Cassie were lying down, TJ and Ashley were on their knees, and Andros and Carlos were standing up.

"Now, I'll know everything about your powers!" Psycho Red sneered.

Outside, Zhane hopped onto his Sliver Cycle - in bike mode - and raced towards the warehouse. He then burst through a wall of it, and began racing towards the others, as the Psychos turned to him, letting go of the others.

"Hang on, guys!" Zhane called. "Help's on the way!"

He fired lasers out of his headlights, which hit the Psychos, but when he pulled over, he saw that the Psychos had vanished.

"You guys okay?" he asked.

He got off his bike and ran towards the others.

"Yeah." Andros replied, as they got up, moaning. "Thanks, Zhane."

"Hey, where'd they go?" Zhane wondered.

They all looked around, but saw no sign of the Psycho Rangers.

"It's like they just...disappeared." Ashley panted.

"Hopefully, they've gone really far away." Mel hoped.

"Lucky for us you weren't far away, Zhane." Andros said. "We've gotta find out who those guys are."


On the Dark Fortress, Psycho Orange jumped onto the bridge, followed by Psycho Pink, Psycho Yellow, Psycho Blue, Psycho Black, and then Psycho Red. They all then landed crouched down, but then got up as Astronema and Ecliptor approached them. (Psycho Orange was between Psychos Red and Pink)

"So, the Power Rangers have met my Psycho Rangers." Astronema assumed, pacing in front of them, before she stopped and turned to them. "Did you get their energies?"

"Yes." the Psychos all replied.

"Each of us has tapped in on a Power Ranger." Psycho Red explained.

"Good." Astronema remarked, as she walked past them. "Soon you'll know them inside and out. You'll know their thoughts," she stopped and turned to them. "predict their next move."

She walked towards Psycho Red.

"Find them!" she ordered. "And don't come back until they're destroyed."

"As you command." Psycho Red obeyed.

All six Psychos then ran off.

"The Rangers have finally met their match." Astronema said.


Later, in the city, Psycho Red teleported onto a lamppost, and began listening in for the Rangers morphers.

"You can't hide for long, Red Ranger." Psycho Red sniggered, touching his forehead. "Begin scan."

On a rooftop, Psychos Yellow and Pink were standing back-to-back, touching the sides of their helmets.

On another rooftop, Psycho Blue touched his forehead, while looking down at the city. Psycho Black stood on a rooftop above him, touching the side of his helmet while looking around.

On another rooftop, Psycho Orange touched her forehead while looking around.


In the city, Andros and Ashley both sat by a tree, remembering their encounter with the Psycho Rangers.

"Where did they come from?" Andros wondered. "They're just like us."

"Only stronger." Ashley added. "You know, they read something from my mind."

"They're learning about us." Andros deduced. "The more they know, the harder they'll be to beat."

Both of them turned as several people walked past them, both thinking hard about what to do, before Andros patted Ashley's back.

"Let's get back to the ship." he said.

Ashley nodded before they both got up and walked away.

A boy then walked towards a bench nearby, then sat down on it. He opened up his backpack, pulled out a Copernicus 2000, and then pressed the button that made the noise like the Rangers morphers.

On the rooftops with Psycho Black had heard the noise, as Psycho Blue turned to him.

"What is it?" Psycho Blue asked.

"I found a Power Ranger." Psycho Black explained. "Let's go!"

They both ran off, and once they got to the boy, Psycho Black grabbed him and pinned him against a pillar.

"Ahh!" the boy muttered, as Psycho Black laughed.

"You're mine, Black Ranger!" Psycho Black sniggered.

He touched the boy's head and began to read his mind, as the boy whimpered.

"What?!" Psycho Black gasped, pulling his hand back.

He let go of the boy furiously, who then ran off.

"That was no Power Ranger!" Psycho Black hissed.

"But you said you heard it?!" Psycho Blue accused.

"I did hear it!" Psycho Black snapped, turning to Psycho Blue. "Come on, let's go."

He walked off, and then Psycho Blue shook his head and followed followed.


Back on the rooftops, Psychos Yellow and Pink heard the morphing beep.

"I've got one." Psycho Yellow said.

"Then let's go." Psycho Pink said, turning to her.

They both jumped off the building, and then began spotted a car that was riding down a street.

"They're in the car." Psycho Pink said, once they'd landed on the road.

"I'll stop it." Psycho Yellow said, bringing her Sling out.

She fired it at the car, hitting its back left tire, causing it to skid slightly, before it stopped. Both Psycho Rangers sprinted towards the car, and once they got there, Psycho Pink ripped off a door and lifted it up.

"I've got you, Ranger!" Psycho Yellow sneered.

She crouched and aimed her Sling at the car, but saw an elderly couple inside - the woman whimpering while holding a Copernicus 2000.

"That's not the Pink Ranger!" Psycho Pink snapped.

"I thought you heard her?!" Psycho Yellow asked rudely.

Psycho Pink threw the door away in anger. "So did I." she said.

"Come on." Psycho Yellow said, before they turned and ran off.


On the rooftops, Psycho Orange kept looking around, before she heard the morphing beep.

"You're mine, Orange Ranger." she sneered evilly.

She jumped off the rooftop, and then found a woman standing near a van. She then ran towards the woman and grabbed her, and then pinned her against the van.

"I've got you, Power Ranger!" she sneered, touching the woman's forehead.

The woman whimpered while dropping a Copernicus 2000, as Psycho Orange scanned her mind.

"What?!" Psycho Orange exclaimed, pulling her hand away. "You're not a Power Ranger!"

She let the woman go, then she turned and ran off.

"I must've have misheard." Psycho Orange sneered angrily.


On the Megaship, Alpha, TJ, Mel, Cassie and Carlos all stood on the bridge.

"I have reports of several disturbances on Earth." DECA explained, getting their attention.

"What kind of disturbances?" TJ asked.

"They are unknown." DECA replied.

Alpha turned and pressed buttons on the handle controls, while the others all ran towards the center controls, and then Cassie pressed buttons on it.

"The Psycho Rangers are attacking... random people on Earth." she explained, confused.

"Why?" Carlos wondered.

"I don't know." Mel shrugged, confused.

TJ thought for a minute. "They're looking for us." he deduced.

"By attacking innocent people like that, they really are psycho." Mel said.

"True, but why would they mistake innocent people for Rangers?" Cassie wondered.

"We better alert Zhane." TJ said, before putting his morpher to his mouth.


Down on Earth, Zhane walked through the city with a scanner, when his Digimorpher beeped. He took it out of his pocket, but then ran down some steps and then checked to see if anyone was listening, and then held his Digimorpher near his ear like a cell phone.

"Go ahead?" he said.

(Astro Megaship)

"Zhane, be on the lookout." TJ advised. "The Psychos are attacking innocent people."

(The city)

"Probably looking for us."

Zhane looked around to check for the Psychos, but didn't see any.

"Thanks." he said. "I'm at the market. There's no sign of them now."

He put his Digimorpher away, then began to walk off, when Psycho Black landed in front of him.

"Huh?" Zhane gasped.

"Looking for us?" Psycho Black inquired.

Psycho Blue then came up behind Zhane and grabbed him, and then threw him against a railing.

"Ugh!" Zhane groaned, as he fell down, dropping his scanner.

Psycho Blue crouched down and then put his legs on either side of Zhane, pinning him down while grabbing his arm.

"We knew we'd find you. It was only a matter of time." Psycho Black sneered.

Zhane groaned as Psycho Blue pulled on his arm.

"Psycho Red, we've caught a Ranger." Psycho Black reported, touching the side of his helmet, and his left wrist by his mouthpiece.

He laughed as he stared at Zhane.

"You're coming with us." he told him.


Later, onboard the Megaship, the other Rangers - expect Andros - stood on the bridge by the controls - Carlos by the right, TJ and Ashley the left, Mel by the handle, and Cassie by the center. Andros then came in with a Copernicus 2000, and walked towards the center controls while holding it up.

"This is why the Psycho Rangers are attacking all those people." he explained, getting everyone's attention.

He opened the Copernicus 2000 up, as Carlos, Cassie and Mel gathered around him, just as it beeped.

"That sound." Carlos said, realizing what Andros meant.

TJ and Ashley then walked towards them all.

"They think it's one of us." Carlos realized.

"Exactly." Andros confirmed. "Which means we absolutely can't use our communicators."

TJ then sighed in annoyance. "Oh, man!" he groaned.

"What, what is it?" Andros asked.

"I called Zhane." TJ explained.

"That means they might've captured him." Mel deduced worriedly.

"He was at the market." Cassie recalled.

She nearly opened up her morpher, but then stopped and remembered what Andros had said.

"Alright, we'll check it out." Andros decided.

He and TJ then both turned and ran towards the left door.


Once in the market, TJ and Andros looked around for Zhane. They both ran towards a railing near the steps Zhane had gone down, before TJ spotted something beneath them.

"Hey, down there." he said, patting Andros' arm.

He ran down the steps, then Andros followed, and then he picked up Zhane's scanner, telling them both he was in trouble. TJ closed the scanner and felt guilty, as it was his fault Zhane was captured.


Later, back on the Megaship, Andros and TJ both walked onto the bridge, as Mel and Cassie worked on the handle controls, and Ashley and Carlos on the center.

"They got Zhane." Andros explained. "Run a scan, we've gotta find him."

Andros walked towards Cassie and Mel, while TJ walked towards Carlos and Ashley, when Ashley picked up something.

"I've got him." she said.

They all looked at the viewing screen, as a large abandon library building showed up on it, and then TJ and Carlos gathered around Ashley.

"He's... He's inside the old library." she explained, turning to the others.

"Alright. Remember, don't use your communicators." Andros reminded, touching his morpher.

"Right." Mel said, before they all turned and ran towards the left door.


In the old library, Zhane was tided up and gagged to a chair, surrounded by old books with webs all over. He woke up and looked around while muffling, and then tried to move, but the knots were too tight.

Outside the building, the other Rangers ran towards it, only to bump into an invisible forcefield.

"Ugh!" they groaned, as they bumped into it.

"What?!" Andros and Cassie gasped.

TJ touched the forcefield, and then banged on it.

"It's a forcefield." Mel realized.

"We need to morph." TJ said.

He turned around to morph when Cassie stopped him.

"No, we can't!" she argued, pulling his arm down. "They'll hear us."

"We need to distract them." Andros realized. "Just for a moment."

"But how?" Carlos wondered.

"The Mega Tank." Mel answered. "That would defiantly keep the Psychos busy."

"Good idea." Andros agreed.


Elsewhere, Psycho Red - still standing on the lamppost - looked up once he heard the morphing beep.

"Psychos, I hear them." he reported. "I knew they'd make a mistake. Let's move."

He jumped off the lamppost, and then he and the other Psychos jumped from building to building, but then he stopped on one. He put his left hand to his ear area, and began to listen again.

"I think..." he said.

He zoomed his eyes in, and saw the Mega Tank riding along a street, and assumed the Rangers were in there.

"Yes. This time we've got them." he said.

They then all dashed all over, until they all came up behind the Mega Tank. (Psycho Orange was on Pink's right) They all got closer to the Mega Tank, then one-by-one, jumped up and landed in front of it. They then all held a hand out and fired green lighting out of them at the Mega Tank - Psychos Black, Yellow and Red their left, Psychos Orange, Pink and Blue their right. The lighting hit the Mega Tank, causing it to skid as it turned right, and then it crashed into a set of construction objects.

Psycho Red then opened up the door, as the other Psychos stood behind him, but then they saw it was empty.

"Huh? What's this?" Psycho Red cursed.

He looked down and saw a small recording device, making the morphing beep.

"It's a decoy." he hissed angrily, punching the recorder.


Back at the old library, the Rangers felt the Psychos had had enough time chasing the Mega Tank.

"Let's Rocket!" Andros shouted, as they all pushed their right hands out, then pulled them back towards their morphers.

(Morph sequence)

The morphers opened up, and began pressing buttons on it.

"3,3,5!"

They then hit enter, and the lights beside the numbers lit up.

Andros then morphed into his Ranger suit, as he spun around, and the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, then his helmet symbol glowed.

TJ then morphed into his Ranger suit, as he spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then his helmet symbol glowed.

Carlos then morphed into his Ranger suit, as he spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then his helmet symbol glowed.

Cassie then morphed into her Ranger suit, as she spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed.

Ashley then morphed into her Ranger suit, as she spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed.

Mel then morphed into her Ranger suit, as she spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed.

(End morph sequence)


At the construction yard, Psycho Pink heard the morphing beep.

"Wait a second...I hear them." she said.

The other Psychos turned to her.

"Huh?" they said.

"We've gotta get moving now!" Psycho Pink said.

"This better not be another wild goose chase!" Psycho Orange sneered. "I'm already burning up!"


At the old library, Andros brought out his weapon.

"Spiral Saber!"

He stabbed the forcefield with it, scattering it to pieces.

"Ah!" Ashley and Mel groaned, as they all turned away.

"Come on." Andros said.

They all ran towards the library, when the Psycho Rangers dashed in front of them, and then all stopped in front of the library.

"It's them!" Andros gasped, as the Rangers stopped.

"Were you expecting Santa Claus maybe?" Psycho Red joked.

"Did you really think you could fool us with that old trick?" Psycho Blue snorted. "You're pathetic."

"You may be cleaver, Power Rangers, but you're also stupid!" Psycho Orange sneered.

"That's enough!" Andros snapped. "We're coming through!"

The Rangers then charged at the Psychos, who charged back.

(Inside)

Zhane rocked his chair back and fourth, against a book shelf, causing a large vase on top of it to fall and smash on the floor. He then rocked his chair sideways, falling over onto his right, then felt round and picked up a small piece, and then began cutting the ropes with it.

(Outside)

Andros sent a kick at Psycho Red, but he grabbed Andros' foot, then tripped him up, and then ducked down and hit Andros in the chest with his elbow.

"Ahhh!" Andros moaned.

Psycho Blue grabbed TJ by the shoulders and hit him in the chest with his knee twice, knocking him down.

Psycho Black pinned Carlos to the ground, then put his legs on either side of Carlos while holding onto his hand.

Psycho Orange grabbed Mel's arm as she tried to punch her, and then she kicked Mel in the back of the leg, tripping her onto her back.

Psycho Pink grabbed Cassie's shoulder, and then punched her twice in the chest, and then threw her away.

Psycho Yellow spun around and kicked Ashley in the face, knocking her down.

The six Psychos then laughed as they gathered together. (Psycho Orange was between Psychos Red and Black)

"Ugh!" the Rangers moaned in pain, gathering together.

"You haven't got a chance against us." Psycho Red sneered.

"We'll see about that!" Andros snapped.

The Rangers charged at the Psychos, who crossed their arms over each other. The Psychos then folded their arms around in a circle, creating an energy ball, before putting their hands by their chests. They then all pulled their hands back slightly, before throwing the energy balls at the Rangers, hitting them all.

"Aghh!" Andros, Carlos and Mel moaned, falling forward while twirling around.

"Aghh!" Cassie and Ashley groaned, falling past each other, as TJ fell forward.

They all moaned as they hit the ground.

(Inside)

Zhane kept cutting the ropes loose with the vase piece, before he finally got his right hand free. He pulled it out of the ropes, then took his gag off, and then began untying his left hand. Once his left hand was free, he untied his right leg, then his left, and then he ran off.

(Outside)

The Psycho Rangers all fired green lighting out of their hands as the Rangers got back up, hitting and shocking them.

"Ahhh!" they moaned.

Sparks went off all around them, as Andros started groaning.

"The one tough Ranger." Psycho Red mocked. "Ugh, what's happening?!"

The Psychos all moaned in pain as they touched the sides of their helmets, before they all vanished.

Sparks came out of the Rangers suits as they moaned. Carlos fell onto his back, as TJ and Andros fell to their knees, then TJ and Cassie fell onto their backs, as Andros fell onto his chest, and Ashley fell onto her left, as Mel fell onto her right.

Zhane came running out of the library, but then gasped when he saw his friends. He ran towards them all as they moaned, and then crouched next to Andros - who clutched his shoulder, while Cassie and Carlos clutched their chests, and Mel clutched her leg.

"Andros, are you okay?" Zhane asked.

"Yes, I think so!" Andros grunted, as Zhane helped him up.

"We gotta get back to the ship." Zhane said.

"Yeah!" Andros agreed, groaning. "Good idea."

"There you go." Zhane said.

The others all got up slowly, then Zhane wrapped Carlos' arm around him, as Mel leaned on Ashley for support, all of them knowing, this wasn't the last they'll see of the Psycho Rangers.


Later, on the Dark Fortress, the Psycho Rangers matched angrily towards the bridge.

"Move it!" Psycho Red hissed, pushing a Quantron away.

They all walked towards Astronema.

"We had them!" Psycho Red hissed.

Why did you stop us?!" Psycho Yellow demanded.

"We could've destroyed them back there!" Psycho Orange frowned.

"You'll finish them when I decide." Astronema said.

"Oh, yeah?!" Psycho Blue huffed, pushing past the others. "And when will that be?!"

"I'm on a short fuse!" Psycho Orange hissed.

Astronema turned and fired lighting out of her hand at them all.

"Aghhh!" they moaned.

"Remember your place, Psychos. I'll tell you as much as I decide to tell you." Astronema said, as she hadn't told them the Rangers identities'. "Now leave me!"

Psychos Blue, Yellow and Orange moaned while clutching their chests, as all but Psycho Red walked away.

As you wish, for now!" Psycho Red snarled, before he followed the others.

Astronema then turned and walked into her throne room.

"Hmm?" Ecliptor muttered, turning to Psycho Red.

Astronema sat down in her throne, just as Ecliptor came into the room.

"My princess, tell me your plan and I will assist you." he said.

"The Psychos magnificent power comes from Dark Spector himself." Astronema explained, turning to Eclpitor. "They'll destroy the Rangers, but slowly, so I can drain Dark Spector away to nothing."

"You want to destroy the Rangers and Dark Spector?!" Ecliptor exclaimed.

"Absouetly." Astronema confirmed. "There's only room for one evil monarch, and that will be me."

This meant Dark Spector's desire to get her back had backfired, as she now wanted to destroy him.


Next time on Power Rangers in Space...

Astronema stares at Dark Spector on the viewing screen of the Dark Fortress.

"My energy's being drained. Find out whose doing it and stop them!" Dark Spector demands.

Astronema walks past the Psychos.

"You underestimate our strength!" Psycho Yellow snaps.

Carlos hides in a photobooth, then comes out of it morphed, witnessed by a little girl.

"I know who you are...Black Ranger." Carlos said, reading a note.

The girl stares at a clip of photos, showing Carlos morphing.

"I have something you want."

Carlos walks up some steps in the city.

"Meet me at the fun centre at noon."

A lizard monster with a satellite around its neck shows up in the park, as the Rangers show up on a cliff.

"The information Datascammer has collected with be useful." Astronema said.

The little girl leads Carlos down the steps.

"I'd tell everybody about..." the girl said.

They both walk through the city, the girl carrying a bag of shopping.

"..your secret."

Astronema and Elgar stand on the Dark Fortress.

"Where are the Psycho Rangers?" Astronema asks.

Psycho Red charges at the Rangers, all with their weapons out.

"They've left, to make..." Ecliptor said.

Andros and Psycho Red lock swords together.

"..trouble, for the Power Rangers."

Andros and Psycho Red lock swords again.


A/N: Psycho Orange is voiced by Mari Devon, best known as Togemon from the Digimon franchise. I chose her because I noticed most of voice cast on the first ten seasons have done voice work for the late 90s, early 2000's dubbed anime. Examples include the late Robert Axelrod, the voice of Lord Zedd and Finster, Derek Stephen Prince, who voiced Elgar, Steve Kramer, who voiced Darkonda, and Wally Wingert, who voiced Psycho Blue.
