Working as of one mind the two rangers advanced on their enemy. The Harpy
stood her ground her eyes never once straying from her prey. With in a
blink of an eye the winged woman attacked. She screeched at the rangers as
she swung her sword between them. As the Harpy rushed by him Jason planted
a solid kick to her stomach. Winded the Harpy turned to face them again.
The harpy engaged them again, this time her sword was met by the cold steel
of Jason's own.
"You are strong for a human red one." Her voice cawed at him. "But no matter you will be destroyed. You are only delaying your destiny." With that she shoved him away, in to one of the support columns of the second level. The Harpy turned to Andrece who stood ready, hissing the Harpy said, "You feel it don't you."
"I don't know what you are talking about." The Silver Ranger replied.
"Oh but you do, you can feel it, I know you can. The familiarity between us. I sense it too."
Andrece shook her head; this bird was just playing mind games. Which it was time to put an end to. "Silver lightning!" she called. Leaping from her staff a bolt of sliver light bolted towards the harpy. It struck her full in the chest sending her flying backwards into a clothing store front.
Seeing the harpy was not directly on her feet again Andrece risked turning to find Jason. Her eyes locked on to his red clad form, he was pulling himself to his feet. "You okay?" she asked her eyes looking him over. He responded with a thumbs up.
Andrece pulled her eyes from Jason over to the store front where the Harpy was just exiting. Once free of the stores confines the Harpy launched herself at the Silver Ranger with one smooth flap of her wings. The ranger didn't move out of the way, instead she held her ground and fought. Each swing of the creature's sword was blocked by either an arm at the hilt or the silver staff. The ranger smoothly switched from defensive moves to offensive. She pounded the Harpy with kicks and punches; a kick to her stomach, a punch to her jaw followed by another punch to the temple.
Jason stood ready to help his friend at the smallest sign of fatigue. His mind was in awe of the combative dance he watched. Never in the time he had known Andrece could she ever fight as she was against the Harpy. In a kick faster then the mortal eye could follow the Silver Ranger hit the Harpy and sent her flying in to an already cracked support column. The overhanging second level creaked as the column finally collapsed.
The Harpy was just pulling herself back to her feet as five pillars of light appeared then dissipated revealing the other rangers. The Harpy regarded her foes with hatred filled eyes. "This is not over Silver Guardian; until next time fools." The Harpy strangely bowed to them before flying out of a broken skylight.
"Looks like we were a little late, sorry bro." The white clad form of Tommy said clasping Jason on the shoulder.
Jason groaned slightly and straightened to his full height. "It's okay bro, We'll get her next time."
While the Green, Red, Blue and Black rangers spoke to the authorities, the Pink and Yellow rangers spoke in hushed tones to the stunned Silver Guardian.
"Andrece are you alright?" asked the Yellow Ranger Trini, as she and Kimberly approached the silent ranger.
The ranger shook her head as if to clear away a thought, "Yes. I am fine." She looked past her friends regarding the mall. "We really trashed this place."
The Pink ranger joined her friend in looking around, one column of marble was shattered, and the balcony of the second level was creaking as if threatening to fall at any moment. Store fronts which had at one time housed the sale items lay shattered, and the solid stone floor beneath their feet was scorched in placed from the lightning blast. "This place has seen worse."
"Don't worry; Angel Grove is use to this kinda thing. Just then the other four rangers joined the female three. The Yellow ranger turned to face the Red and Green rangers, "We finished here?" she asked.
The Red ranger nodded, "I was on contact with Zordon, we'll be briefed in the morning." The others nodded.
"How about we hit the Youth Center for a late night smoothie?" asked the black clad form of Zack.
"You guys go, I'm heading home." Jason said.
"You sure?" asked Kimberly, he nodded. She shrugged, "Okay then, see you in the morning." With that she and the others minus Jason and to his surprise Andrece teleported out.
"I don't feel like a smoothie." She said in way of an explanation. Jason shrugged then regretted that action. He groaned and rubbed his aching shoulder. "Come on, let's go." Together they teleported to his place, they arrived in the den just as the movie was ending.
Jason let himself collapse on the couch. Andrece knelt before him. "Are you okay? I saw you hit that column."
He cleared his throat before speaking, "I've been worse, I've been better." He replied again rubbing his shoulder.
She cocked her head to one side, then sighed, "Here let me help." She sat down beside him on the couch and gently turned him so his back was facing her. With great care she started to rub his back. Starting at the shoulders then moving to his neck, the entire time working out the knots in his aching muscles.
"Where.where did you learn to do this?" Jason asked with his eyes closed in pleasure.
"When my brother was first recovering from the attack on he and I, he use to get a sore back from sitting in the wheelchair day in day out. So I took a course on massage and that's where I learned."
Andrece's hands worked their way down to his lower back each movement sending a jolt of pleasure and relaxation up his spine. She paused a moment then restarted on his neck. Jason let his head roll forward and rest on his chest. As she worked Andrece could feel the tension and pain leaving Jason, his breathing deepened and slowed.
"Jase?" she called in a whisper, his head rocked back up, "Why don't you lay down." As soon as she moved to kneel on the floor beside the couch he stretched out. She began rubbing his neck and after a few minutes he was fast asleep. "G'night Jason. Sweet dreams." She said as she kissed him gently on the forehead and then left.
As soon as her body materialized in the guest room at Kimberly's house Andrece felt the tension from the battle return to her body. She felt the nagging thought of what the Harpy had said to her during the battle. Andrece paced across the room a few times before her mind was made up. With a swift motion she teleported herself to the Command Center in hopes for some answers.
