Andros showed Wes into the medical room where Ashley was hooked up to a machine. Wes winced looking at her, she looked pretty bad. She was there, but not there at the same time. She had bad bruising, bandages around her wrist and forehead. Her eyes were closed shut. The machine was breathing for here. He could hear the soft beep…beep. She was alive, for now anyways. Wes knew now by looking at her things didn't look too good for her survival. He hated knowing, that it had been Jen that put her there. He didn't want it to be true. He wished this was a bad dream. He wanted it to be over with. Wes watched as Andros walked closer to her, rubbing his hand through her hair. It even hurt Wes to breath. He felt like he was going to get sick. Why had this happened? Wes gulped in hard. He was beginning to regret coming here.
Wes couldn't handle it anymore. The sight of Ashley his own agony in his heart, it was just too much. He ran out of the room. But he didn't get far, only outside of the room. He realized he didn't know his way around the ship, he had no where to run to. No where to go and hide. Wes got next to a corner and dropped to the ground. His whole world seemed to go crashing down. He felt hot tears go down his face. Wes buried his face into his knees and began crying heavily, whimpering Jen's name as he did so.

Joel was in a resting room with Zhane, Jason, Rocky, Chad and Kelsey. They were all sitting on chairs and couch's, resting and taking in the event that had just happened. Wes's reaction to what happened with Jen and then learning that Jen was pregnant, was more then enough to take in. Zhane, Jason and Rocky all looked quite pleased they hadn't been in the room when Andros had told Wes about Jen and what had happened. It wasn't something they would have wanted to do. Although they did feel partly guilty not being there. Zhane eyed Joel, as if he was upset with the guy. "You shouldn't have brought him," yelled Zhane eyeing Joel. Joel just looked at the silver ranger annoyed.
"Well gee. How was I supposed to know you all were thinking about killing Jen," Zhane got up from his seat on instant and Joel followed his lead. Joel got right into Zhanes face. Everyone remained silent, they knew it was coming. They were all tired, scared and homesick. It was only a manner of time before someone was going to lose it and it looked like Zhane was going to be the first one. "And I don't know what ticks me off the most. Either that you're upset, because I brought Wes with me knowing, he is in no condition to fight. Or the fact you didn't want him here because you knew, he wouldn't let Andros go through with taking Jen out," yelled Joel right into Zhanes face. Zhane looked like he could lose his cool at any moment.
"You think Andros liked making that decision? Do you think any of us liked it?" asked Zhane his voice growing louder. Of course none of them wanted to make that decision. None of them ever wanted to be in a position where they would have to kill one of their own.
"I'm just saying it how it is. And it just so happens, that it was Andros's wife that was hurt. Of course he would want to avenge her, and you being his best friend and all. Your probably would agree with him, wouldn't you blondie" remarked Joel. Joel knew he had made a valid point, but even so that pushed Zhane right to the top.
"I've had enough of you, cowboy!" Zhane looked like he was about to knock Joel out. The green and silver ranger appeared to be getting ready a fight, which could end badly. Rocky and Jason looked at each other in concern. Someone had to do something. Jason knew he would have to step in. They needed to work together not be at each others throats. He stood up and started walking towards them.
"That's enough!" Jason yelled. His voice broke the two up. They looked at the veteran ranger. "We're here to save the world. We won't be able to do that, if we can't trust each other. Is that understood?" yelled Jason eyeing both of them in the eyes. After that not a whole lot was said. Joel and Zhane looked at each other, shamefully. They both had over reacted, and they both knew it.
**************************
In the mess hall Wes, Eric and Andros sat alone. None of them seemed to of touched their meal. It had been hour's since Wes had arrived here with Joel. Wes stared at the gun Eric held in his hands, the gun that is meant to take Jen out, his Jen. His eyes filled with pain and anger. He couldn't believe this was happening. And now to find out that Jen is pregnant. It hurt too much now. And the others didn't seem to be showing much compassion, except maybe for Joel. He couldn't believe his own friend Eric had said he would be the one to take Jen out, kill her. He couldn't believe Andros had created the weapon that would kill Jen. These were his friends. He trusted them. Wes felt like they all had turned their backs to him, he felt so betrayed, so alone. Eric could see Wes was upset and hurt with the both of them. The truth was. The only reason he had said he would be the one to do it, was because he knew that's how Wes and Jen would have wanted it. But, things never work out how you want them to. "Wes look, do you think we want to do this? I care about Jen as much as you do," sad Eric calmly. Andros gave a concerned look to Wes. He knew Wes needed to know they weren't the enemy.
"We tried Wes, but we couldn't break her from the spell. This is the only way. I'm sorry," said Andros sadly. Wes just shook his head not believing a word they were telling him. How could they both be still even thinking about doing this? Even after finding out Jen was carrying a child, his child.
"No. No, I won't let you," Wes grabbed the blaster from Eric's hands.
"Wes what are you doing? You're in no condition to fight. Her and Steelix will kill you on spot," said Eric. Eric held on tightly but as he looked into Wes's eyes. He knew right then and there Wes didn't care if he would have to fight with one arm or if it killed him. He was going to do it one way or another. Eric sighed knowing he was going to lose this fight. He loosened his grip around the blaster and Wes had the blaster now. Eric sighed, he hated this. He didn't want things to end up this way, but some how he knew. He knew the second he saw Wes here, this would be how things would turn out. "If anyone, is going to take Jen out? It will be me. I owe that much to her, but not before I try to break her free from that spell" choked Wes. His eyes were red and puffy from crying, tears still visible.
"But Wes…" Eric stopped his sentence. Wes glared him darkly in the eyes.
"Save it! She's my wife and the mother of my child. I'll do it, and I'll do it alone," Eric and Andros both looked at Wes in protest. "And God so help me if you follow me. I think you will know what will happen!" yelled Wes tears streaming down his face. Eric and Andros looked at each other wanting to say something, but there was nothing to say. And with that they watched as Wes stormed out of the mess hall.
"Blasted!!!" yelled Eric slamming his fist against the table. Andros put his head down, sighing. This wasn't how he had planed the mission to go, and yet there were a lot of things he hadn't planed on.
