The Mind Crusher (Part 5)
Cassie stood in the doorway of her best friend's bedroom and watched as the yellow ranger tossed and turned violently in her bed moaning noised frequently. She sighed and leaned her head against the doorframe. A pair of arms wrapped around her waist. She smiled and laid her head back on his shoulder. "This is awful, I feel like I am hurting her by just thinking about what I plan to eat" she said. T.J tightened his arm around her and kissed the top of her head. "No, remember what alpha said. Her mind is so clouded now. She can't tell one voice from another"
Cassie turned around and kissed him. They broke apart as another violent thrashing and sounds came from Ashley. "I hope we can cure this soon. I hate seeing Ash like this" Cassie mumbled. "I know. But it wont be long now, with the way Andros is going I doubt he will rest until he finds something" Just as the words came out of his mouth, DECAs voice rung about the ship.
T.J. AND CASSIE, ANDORS AND THE OTHERS REQUEST YOU ON THE BRIDGE. Cassie and T.J ran down to the turbo lift.
When they approached the bridge. T.J and Cassie found the three rangers huddled around a computer console. "What's going on?" demanded T.J as they stepped up behind Carlos, Zhane and Andros. "We have found something to help her" replied Zhane who was next to them. "You have? What?" asked Cassie. "It's a plant. It contains a special serum. Once in the blood system, it will clear her head," said Andros reading the view screen. Alpha came in with some distressing news. "Rangers, I'm afraid the affects of the poison on Ashley's brain is intense. I'm afraid that unless we find the cure soon. Ashley will die"
The rangers stood in silence o absorb the shocking news.
Andros than stood up. "Ok, this is the plan. Zhane you and I will go to the Planet Grimbo and get the plant. T.J, Cassie, Carlos. You need to stay here watch Ash and keep an eye out for Astronoma She probably knows were venerable" nods form the others sealed his plan and they headed to their destinations.
Andros entered Ash's room and saw the sweat all over her face. She was moaning and mumbling words he couldn't understand. He sat beside her and kissed her scorched forehead. "I promise Ash, I will save you. You'll be ok." He kissed her again and went to leave. He turned back to look at her again.
(I love you)
He thought hoping that she would hear that and it would bring her a bit of comfort in her terrible situation.
Andros and Zhane landed on the planet Grimbo, a jungle, dense planet with a population of zero. They scanned the area. Both being morphed made it easier to cover more ground.
"Ok lets get down to finding it and going" said Andros.
"No! The rangers can not find that plant" Astronoma screamed as she watched both rangers from her palace. Growling loud she thought in concentration. "Ecliptor, get down there and destroy the rangers" she shouted him. "Yes my princess. It would be my pleasure" he replied in much anticipation.
"Andros, there's something coming up form behind us" shouted Zhane to his partner "Its Ecliptor"
Andros and Zhane turned around to see Ecliptor behind them. "Your out a little far form you home aren't you rangers" Ecliptor sneered. "Oh and I almost forgot to mention, how rude of me. How's the darling yellow ranger" Andros immediately looked at Ecliptor. "How do you know about her?" he demanded clenching his fists. "Why didn't you know. It was Astronema's creation. Quite genius if you ask me" he replied walking slowly to the rangers. Andros and Zhane stood there feeling their blood temperature rise. "So you can understand why you can't have that plant cant you?" he teased enjoying the feeling of pain he was causing. Andros could no longer take it and charged at Ecliptor, sending him crashing to the ground. Andros immediately began to throw punches and kicks to Ecliptor, none of which he could return. Zhane watched his friend in amusement 'well at least he's releasing a lot of tension' he thought. Knowing that Andros was doing fine on his own. Zhane ran around the corner to a small area of flowers and plants. There in the middle was the plant he needed. Zhane picked it and placed it in a glass bottle he had.
Andros was very much in the lead of this battle. Ecliptor barely had chance to stand before another kick was delivered. Ecliptor knew the only way to get to the red ranger now was to anger him by words. "You know red ranger, she sure is pretty. I mean if I weren't having to destroy her I would keep her for myself" Andros was pushed so far over the edge it was no longer visible. He was about to attack when Zhane caught his arm. "Andros we have to go, there's not much time left" Andros sighed and nodded. Looking at Ecliptor looking pathetic on the ground he finished "If you ever touch her in any way I will destroy you Ecliptor"
Cassie wiped a tear from her eye as she watched her best friend. Composing herself once more she took the damp cloth form the bowl by her side and wiped Ashley's dripping forehead. For the past hour Ashley had got much worse. She was sweating really badly and her breathing was speeding up. Alpha had come into check her and discovered her brain patterns were off the scale. T.J and Carlos were standing in the doorway trying to control their emotions. Their anger was boiling at the thought of who would want to hurt their beautiful yellow ranger. All three looked at each other, their eyes saying the same message. Hurry up guys.
The noise of the turbo lift opening alerted their attentions as they each left their perch to see who it was. They were greeted by the Red and Silver rangers. In Andros's hand was a vile of bright purple liquid. "Alpha managed to get the serum out of the plant," Andros said. "Did you guys find it ok?" asked Cassie. Zhane nodded. "Yeah, we had a run in with Ecliptor. The monster that infected Ash was Astronema's latest creation" he growled, but then added. "Don't worry though, Andros worked out a lot of aggression on him" he grinned. Andros shook his head and pushed past the rangers to where the yellow ranger was. His throat constricted at the sight of her. The sheets of her bed laid everywhere due to the thrashing around she had done. Her hair was damp and sticking to her sweaty body. He sat down beside her and took her in his arms. "Shhhh, its ok sweetheart I'm here now and your going to be ok" he lifted her head and poured the whole concoction down her throat. She immediately stopped mumbling and thrashing. Andros laid himself down into her bed and took her into his arms. The other rangers left knowing that she would be ok.
Ashley woke the next morning to the sound of someone breathing. She sat up and looked around. Andros was fast asleep beside her. She smiled and played with the hair that had fallen in his face. This woke him to the site of his smiling girlfriend. "Hi, you ok? Anything wrong?" he asked sitting up beside her. "Yeah, I think so. There are no voices. Nothing" she squealed. She flung back into the bed and stretched out. Andros lay above her and leaned down to kiss her. She accepted. "Thank you" said whispered. "What are you thanking me for?" he asked. "For saving me" she replied. He laughed. "Its you Ash of course I will save you" She pulled him down closer to her and whispered to him. "I heard you know" he looked confused "heard what?"
"You, when you said I love you. I heard it and that's what kept me going to keep fighting" he kissed her again.
"I do love you Ash"
"I love you to"
They kissed.
