The Victor Cruise
Chapter 2: Welcome To Hell
The ship was moving at a fairly nice speed. Everyone on the ship was enjoying themselves. 6 hours had past since the launch of the ship, and things were going pretty well. Kim and her gang of friends were all sitting in a restaurant of the cruise ship. They were having such a good time, laughing, talking and reflecting back on the great days as rangers.
"So what was it like to moprh again?" Rocky looked to Jason
"You mean when we went to the moon. Oh it was sweet. Too bad I used the last of its powers." He sighed.
Kim smiled, "Ah who cares. At least we don't have to worry about saving the world. I kind of like not being a ranger anymore. I can finally be able to relax and not always get myself in a jam."
Adam nodded his head in agreement, "Yeah, I mean it was always a pain having to leave during something important."
Katherine smiled, "Well, I enjoyed my rangers day."
"Me too." Jason added, "You can't deny the satisfaction of knowing you changed the world."
Everyone nodded. Merrick was sitting at a table behind them. He was listening to the conversation they were having. Figuring they must be talking about the rangers day, he remembered Cole telling him about the awesome Jason Scott. He turned around at them.
"Excuse me." He spoke politely.
The old rangers turned around and looked at Merrick.
Merrick pointed at Jason, "You wouldn't happen to be Jason Lee Scott, would you?"
"Who wants to know." Jason was suspicious.
Merrick grinned, "The original Red ranger. You helped my teammate, Cole Evans."
His face lit up, "Oh your friends with Cole!?" He asked.
Merrick stood up and dragged a chair to the table, "Merrick Baliton. Lunar Wolf Wilfd Force Ranger." He introduced himself.
"Hey. This is Adam Park, Kimberly Hart, Katherine Sutherland, and Rocky DeSantos. Guys, this is friend of mine I meet two years ago."
The other rangers waved and they began chatting again. Merrick enjoyed the company of other rangers for once, he hadn't talked to his old wild ranger comrades for a while.
Hunter was busy helping Tori unpack in her hotel room. She seamed to have brought a lot of stuff, and it was going to take a while to put everything away. Hunter dug through her accessery bag, pulling out brushes, make up, jewelry and more girl things.
"Since when do you wear all this crap?" He asked.
Tori shrugged as she folded her clothes on the bed, "In case we go out in some fancy restaurant, I want to look like everyone else. Be pretty for chance." She responded.
Hunter then pulled out a laptop, "Whoa, you took Cam's laptop?" He asked.
She turned around, "No. He let me borrowed it. So I can keep in contact with him. Cell phones don't exactly get service up here."
Hunter raised an eyebrow, "Neither does internet."
She shrugged, "He gave it to me for some weird reason. Anyways, where the heck is Dustin?"
Hunter turned and walked over to her, wrapping his hands on her waist and putting his chin on her shoulder, "He went to go the pool, leaving just us two." He grinned.
Tori giggled, "Oh my god Hunter. Not now."
Hunter and Tori had been dating for quit sometime. She was tired of waiting for Blake to come back. She had feelings for him, but Hunter had always been around when she needed cheering up, he had always made her laugh, and when he finally asked her out. She couldn't say no.
"Oh come on. Just a little fun." He continued to grin.
Tori turned around and wrapped her hands around his neck, "Just a little." She said as they both fell onto the bed.
Conner and Kira had decided to relax at the pool. There little vacation was going great. It was hard to convince Dr O, to let them go, seeing how Mesogog was still causing problems, but he finally said yes, on one condition. That they leave their dino brace with him, incase anything should happen. They would have done anything to get on this ship. Conner was sitting on a chair, watching as a bunch of people were swimming in the pool. He had his red bathing suite on and a red shirt. Kira was busy diving in the water, Conner couldn't keep his eyes of her as she swam around in her bikini. He wish he could have joined her, but seeing how he couldn't swim, it made things a little bit hard. He watched as he noticed someone threw a yellow towel on a near by chair. Dustin had finally made it to the pool and was excited to go swimming. He turned and saw Conner glancing at him
"hey!" Dustin said, walking over.
"Hi." Conner responded as he stood up and shook his hand
"Names Dustin."
"Conner." He responded.
Dustin chuckled and looked over to see Kira get out of the water and fix her hair, "Whoa, who's that babe." He asked.
Conner rolled his eyes, "That would be my friend, your ogling over. Say, you look familiar."
Dustin raised an eyebrow, "I do?"
Conner snapped his fingers, "Oh your that Yellow Wind Ranger!" He exclaimed, "From Dr O's Diary. Im Conner Mcknight, the Red Dino Thunder Ranger."
Dustin's face lit up, "Oh hey man! I heard all about you! You guys rock!"
They both sat down and began chatting, when they were interuptted by some giggling. They looked over and saw Ashley and Kendrix entering the pool area. Both guys mouth's dropped as they took off their towels, revealing their bikinis. One in Pink, One in Yellow. Kendrix dived into the water and swam as Ashley laughed.
"Who's that babe." Dustin whispered.
"No idea..." Conner replied back.
Ashley had finally joined in and started to splash about as Kira walked over to the two boys.
"What are you two looking at?" She asked.
Conner looked up, "Nothing. Just watching the girls play in the water."
She rolled her eyes, "Are you talking about Ashley and Kendrix?"
"Dude, you know them??" Dustin asked.
She nodded, "They were in the video diary, Remember Conner? That's Ashley, the yellow space ranger and Kendrix the Pink Galaxy Ranger. Do you ever pay attention to anything."
Conner shrugged, "Not really." He admitted.
Dustin stood up and began walking towards the pool, he stopped when he noticed something from the window. The pool had a large thick glass window that looked out into space. Dustin noticed a an object going towards the ship, at a fairly fast pace. Conner and Kira walked towards him and noticed it also. Suddenly the ships emergency lights started to flash red and sirens began to go off. The pilot came onto the intercom.
"All guests, please remain calm and go back to your hotel rooms in an orderly fashion. We seam to be having problems." He said.
Suddenly Eric Myers came running into the pool room, blowing his whistle.
"Everyone out of the pool now!!" he shouted.
Everyone began to panic and quickly exit out of the open door. Eric waved everyone to keep going in an orderly fashion. Dustin dashed to the door, quickly turning around to see if the others were following. Kira and Conner was following as they got to the other side. As a rangers nature, they wanted to make sure everyone got out okay, so they waited to make sure no one was left behind. Kendrix and Ashley struggled to get out of the pool. They climbed out and started running.
"Oh no! I forgot my necklace. I can't leave without it, Andros gave it to me." She shouted as she ran back towards where her towel was.
"Ashley!" Kendrix shouted.
Dustin tapped on Conner's shoulder and pointed, "That ship is coming real close dude!"
Eric ran to the door and flipped open a switch on a wall. He pressed a few buttons and looked up, "Come on you two! I have to close the door!
"I'll be right back." Conner shouted as he ran back into the pool area.
"Conner!" Kira shouted.
Conner ran towards Kendrix grabbing her arm, "Kendrix, we have to go!" He shouted.
She turned, "How did you know my name?"
He rolled his eyes, "Rangers instincts. Come on." He said as he pulled her.
She struggled, "No! I can't leave her."
Ashley ran towards the edge of the pool and grabbed her necklace. The unknown ship outside fired a blast at eh cruise ship, causing it to shake. Ashley fell into the water. She came up, gasing for breath as she looked around. By now, Conner had dragged Kendrix to the other side of the door. Ashley climbed out and started to run, Eric activated the pressureized door and it began to come down.
"Come on Ashley!!" Everyone shouted.
Ashley tripped and fell, looking up to see the door close. She quickly got up and ran to the door, slamming it.
"Open it!" She begged, "Please open!!"
Kendrix broke herself free, "Open the door!" She said, going towards the door.
Kendrix looked through the circle glass door, seeing the ship going at fast speed towards the cruise ship.
"I can't open it. Its locked." Eric shouted.
"Morph Ashley! Moprh!" Kendrix pleaded
She shook her head, a tear streaming down her face, "I left the morpher in the hotel room."
Suddenly the unknown ship slammed into the pool glass. Ashley grabbed onto a towel racket that was nailed to a side wall of the pool. Everything was being sucked out and into space, the chairs, towel and even the water. Ashley held on tightly as Kendrix began banging on the door.
"We have to go!" Eric shouted, pushing the rangers, and grabbing Kendrix.
"Im not leaving her!" Kendrix shouted, yanking her arms away.
Ashley looked at the door and whispered, "Goodbye." with that she let go and went flying into space.
"NO!" Kendrix shouted.
Eric grabbed on to her a second time and they began to pull her away, as they quickly ran down the stairs and into the hote floor.
The whole restaurant shook when the unknown ship collided into the cruise ship. The old rangers and Merrick all stood up, when a security officer shouted for everyone to leave.
"What's going on!" Kim asked.
Merrick shook his head, "This can't be good. I suggest we listen to the guy and get into a hotel room."
Adam agreed, "I'm with him on this. Let's go."
The gang all dashed out of the restaurant and into the hallway. They looked both ways and saw people fleeing everywhere. They ran down and towards the stairs. There was so many people that Kim was knocked back and she fell to the floor. The others didn't realize and kept running down the stairs. Kim stood up and looked around. She brushed herself off and the ship began to shake again. She grabbed onto a rail, in till the shaking stopped. She then made her ways to the stair, but before she could go down, she heard screaming and gun fire.
"Oh my god.." She whispered as she slowly went back up the stairs, too afraid to see what was going on.
She noticed a janiter closet and ran into it, closing the door and locking it. The room was dark as she slide down the door, afraid of what was happening.
Meanwhile, Jason and the other rangers made it down to the hotel room and ran into a room. Jason closed the door and locked it, hearing an air compressed sound, signaling that the door was pressurized. He then turned to see if the gang was all here.
"Where's Kim!?" Adam shouted.
Rocky looked around, "She's not here."
"No, she could be out there!"
Jason was about to turn and open the door when Merrick stopped him
"She'll be fine. She's was a ranger remember. We were told to stay here."
He nodded, "All right." Jason spoke
Hunter and Tori both sat up when they heard screaming outside. They were too busy making out, that they didn't notice what was going on. Dustin, Kendrix, Conner and Kira both ran into the room and closed the door locking it.
"What the heck is going on!?" Hunter shouted, getting off the bed.
Kendrix went into a corner, crying over her lost friend. Before anyone could explain, the intercom started to speak.
"Attention all Passengers..holy shit.. what is that. Oh my god."
The rangers all listened closely.
"No Captain, there is a malfuction in the security due to the crash. Gas is being release!"
"Who cares! There breaking in! We are all going to die!!"
Tori held onto Hunter, scared, "What the hell is going on? Im getting scared."
Suddenly gas started to leak into the air vents filling the room. It was knock out gas, in case of an emergency, they would use that to calm people down. The rangers started to feel light headed and sleepy, all collapsing to the floor.
"Damn...this is hell.." Dustin whispered before dozing off...
