Power Rangers Cyber #20 the trials of the rangers chapter 2: The Amazonian way.
Previously on power rangers cyber…
"That's it! The computer has our location now. It's only a matter of getting back to the edge of the
galaxy." Janus says happily.
"Looks like we got pretty far away though. May take us a few weeks." Matt says.
"Yeah but at least we will be heading in the right direction at last." Janus says.
"Well shall we set a course for home?" Joshua asks.
"Yes let's." Janus says.
And now for episode 20…
The ranger ship continues its trip to the edge of this galaxy. It enters a new system and inside the ship the
sensors start to go haywire.
"What's going on?" Janus asks.
"There seems to be a lot of ion interference in this system. It's causing the sensors to black out except for
intermittent bursts every few seconds. I can still get a good reading of this sector but it will take a lot
longer." Joshua replies.
"Okay do it and as fast as possible. I have a bad feeling." Janus says.
After a few minutes Joshua looks up.
"Sensors are picking up a ship approaching us." Joshua says.
Joshua looks some more at the readings.
"They are hailing us." Matt says.
The screen comes alive with the vision of a woman in warrior garb. She looks tough and glares at the
crewmates.
"This is Arla of the warrior tribe. You are trespassing in our sector. Please identify yourselves." Arla says.
"This is Janus of the voyager ship. We are mearly passing through your system on our way home. We
come in peace." Janus says.
"Well you do have a woman in command. That is good." Arla says.
"Yeah well we also have men on board." Janus says.
"Really? What do they do? Are they slaves?" Arla says.
Janus looks uncomfortable and responds, "Uh no. They are crewmembers like I am."
"You have them as equals?" Arla says with disgust.
"Yeah. Where we come from both men and women are equal." Janus responds.
"You have a strange culture indeed. Perhaps we can meet somewhere and discuss it." Arla says.
"That would be good. If you don't mind us bringing weapons for defensive mean only of course." Janus
says.
"That would be acceptable as long as the men aren't armed." Arla says.
Janus looks uneasily at the others but they all nod in agreement.
"It may be the only way to pass through. If we have to circumnavigate around their area, who known how
much time that will take." Cynthia says.
"Agreed then. What is the place you want to meet at?" Janus asks.
"It should be neutral. Not on our ship or yours. We have a planet that we live on when we are not
exploring in space. We have just a location that is considered neutral for these occasions." Arla responds.
"Okay just tell us where it is and we will go there." Janus says.
Arla gives the location and both ships take off. After a few minutes they come to a beautiful planet.
Sensors show it is mostly a jungle type environment. The ship lands on the planet while the warrior ship
stays in orbit and a shuttle lands.
"I would like to stay behind. I think 2 men are enough." Andros says.
The rest exit the ship and the shuttle at the same time and greet each other.
"Welcome to our wonderful planet. I hope you will enjoy your visit." Arla says.
Now that Janus gets a full view of her, she is impressed with Arla's elaborate armor. The other women that
came off with her also have armor but not as fancy. Supposedly showing that Arla is the leader. The other
women frown at the men but Arla motions them off.
"These men are acceptable cause they are that way in these people's culture. Since we want to hear about a
new culture we are allowing them this way. But they still must follow rules when here. They must never
touch a warrior. They must never spy on one while she is undressed." Arla says.
Matt thinks about what these full figured women must look like naked but then takes that thought out of his
head.
"Your culture seems similar…" Joshua starts to say.
"Silence. You must only speak when spoken too." One of the other women yells.
"I know what he was gonna say and can finish for him. Your culture seems similar to another one that
exists on our home planet. They are called the amazons. They too are a group of warrior women. They
have very similar beliefs as you do." Janus says.
While they were talking some of the other women are eyeing Cynthia.
"This other woman is a fine example for a warrior. Is she one?" A woman asks.
"Well sort of." Janus responds.
"You would make a fine warrior tribe member." Another woman says.
"Really? I always have been fascinated by the legends of the amazons. I always wondered if I could be
one." Cynthia says smiling.
"Perhaps you could become one of us." Arla says, finished conversing with Janus.
"But I want to go home to the people I know." Cynthia says.
"You could become an honorary one. You would have something to be proud of." Arla says.
"That would be great." Cynthia says smiling even more.
"And we would gladly let a warrior tribe member pass through our system." Arla says.
"Then it works out great for all of us." Janus says.
"Your initiation will be tomorrow morning. For now let us celebrate and party." Arla says.
The other women start yelling and chanting.
"I'm sorry but your men will have to stay behind. We have somewhere where they can go until this is
over." Arla says.
"It's okay. I never liked tribal ceremonies anyway." Matt whispers to Janus.
Joshua nods in agreement. That night a wild party is going on with women dancing and chanting. Janus
and Arla are sitting in the corner drinking a tribal drink.
"So do these amazons still exist today?" Arla asks.
"A bit. Not as much as they did in the past." Janus says.
"Well I am glad to hear that some women on your planet still hold the same ideals that some of their
ancestors did." Arla says.
Meanwhile Joshua and Matt are sitting in a hut looking around bored.
"This is stupid. I can't believe that they just put us here with nothing to do." Joshua says.
"I guess we should be thankful that they didn't make slaves out of us." Matt says.
"Let's get our of here and look around." Joshua says.
"That would not be a good idea. If we get caught it could mean big trouble." Matt says.
"Nah. It will be okay if we just stay away from that shindig." Joshua says.
Joshua takes off and Matt follows him to keep an eye on him. Meanwhile back at the party, Janus and Arla
are still talking.
"You are trying to tell me that men used to rule over women on your planet. And women allowed it?" Arla
asks in disgust.
"Well we were brought up with the idea that we were weaker should serve our man." Janus responds.
Arla nods her head in disgust.
"But things have changed in the past fourty years. A civil rights movement began. Now we are considered
equal. There are still men that exert power over us but they are delt with. As well with women that exert
power over men." Janus says.
"This equality is a foreign concept to us. How could men be equals to us? Men are not good warriors."
Arla says.
"Actually the three men on my crew are very good warriors. In fact one of them is the most powerful
warrior. And I am the second most powerful." Janus says.
Joshua and Matt are walking around and spy what looks like a lake.
"Oh a lake. Feel like a little dip?" Joshua asks Matt.
"Not me. You go right ahead. But I would check first." Matt says but it's too late.
Joshua runs for the lake and trips over something. When he turns to see what he trips over and does a
double take when he sees a naked body.
"Who dares interrupt my sleep." The woman says.
When she sees Joshua she takes out her sword from her armor laying on the ground.
"You! You have violated one of our most sacred rules. You have seen one of us without clothes on. For
that you must die." The woman says.
"No wait please." Matt yells as he just barely stops himself from getting into view of the naked warrior.
"Another one. And one that dares to talk to a warrior?" The woman asks with anger in her voice.
Meanwhile at the party a group of women rush in.
"Your ladyship. One of the men this woman brought has violated one of the rules. He has seen one of us
naked." One of the women says.
"They would never do that on purpose. It must have been an accident." Janus says.
"Accident or not he must be punished. Bring him to me." Arla says.
Joshua is dragged in front of Arla.
"For violating our precious law you must be put to death." Arla says.
"No please." Cynthia says running towards them.
"Ah our potential sister. You must put him to death if you are to become one of us." Arla says.
"What?" Cynthia asks horrified.
"You are responsible partially for what the men on your crew do. You must show your loyalty to us by
carrying out the punishment." Arla says.
Arla puts a sword in Cynthia's hand. Cynthia looks at the sword and then at Joshua who is knows
kneeling.
"Do it Cynthia. If it will get us home." Joshua says.
Cynthia raises the sword and pauses. Finally she throws the sword to the side. The other women all draw
their swords.
"How dare you refuse." Arla yells.
"I want to be a warrior but I don't believe in your beliefs. I believe that it was an accident and he doesn't
deserve to die." Cynthia says.
Arla's only response is to swing her sword at Cynthia who backs away.
"Okay this is out of control. Let's morph." Matt says.
"Cyber ranger alpha beta." Matt says.
His suit starts to come on but something goes wrong and it pulls back.
"Cyber ranger delta." Cynthia yells.
The same thing happens for her.
"What's going on here?" Matt yells as the warrior women advance on them.
"I think the ion storm is disrupting our armor." Janus yells back.
"Well that's just great. Now what do we do?" Matt yells.
Matt just barely dodges a vicious sword swipe.
"I hate to do this but I think we need to blast our way out." Janus says.
They all take out their blasters and try to fire but the blasters short out. A swipe from Arla cuts off
Cynthia's top. Something on her makes the other women pull back.
"The mark of the chosen one." Arla says.
The other women start to bow.
"What's going on?" Cynthia asks confused.
"There is a legend that says that one day a chosen one from far away would come to lead us into a new era.
You have the mark." Arla says.
"A leader? Really?" Cynthia asks.
"Yes and a great leader. Better than any one we have had before." Arla responds.
"I cannot be your leader. I must return home." Cynthia says.
"That is sad but we cannot make you stay. What shall we do about the law breaker?" Arla asks.
"If you give him to me I will take him with me and make sure he never comes back here again." Cynthia
says.
"It shall be done. Who shall lead in your absence?" Arla asks.
Cynthia puts her arm out and looks around. Arla is startled when Cynthia's arm lays on her head.
"Me? After I almost put one of your own crew to death?" Arla asks.
"Yes. I think you make a great leader even if I don't agree with your beliefs." Cynthia responds.
Arla stands up and bows once more.
"Thanx you and may your journey be quick. If you make it home will you tell your amazons about us?"
Arla asks.
"Yeah if I meet one." Cynthia says laughing.
They all say goodbye and head back to their ship. The ship takes off and goes into lightspeed. Meanwhile
in another part of the galaxy, a grunt is being announced in front of the core lords.
"My lords. A grunt would like to talk to you about an urgent matter." The general says.
"He can come in here now." One says.
The general nods and bows. He opens the door and the grunt steps forward.
"What is the urgent matter you would like to discuss?" Two asks.
"I believe that there is a threat to your power waiting to take over." The grunt says.
"And who might that be?" Three asks.
"ME!" Dark core yells.
An energy burst crosses the space between the grunt and One.
To be continued…
Next week it's Matt's turn. When Matt and the crew come upon a planet under siege by a very powerful
enemy he must decide whether to keep his loyalty to the military by getting home, or by helping a weak
side in an unfair sided battle.
