Chapter 3: Here Comes the Aliens
Hours had past and Jason and the gang finally began to wake up. They had been out for hours due to the knock out gas, and they all began groaning, still feeling a little groggy. Adam rubbed his eyes and looked around the room, the ship must of lost the main power because the emergency power was on, lighting the whole room in red. Rocky walked over to the door and tried to open it but it was jammed.
"Damn, what happened?" Jason whispered.
Kat stood up and fixed herself and looked around, "Is the ship still under attack?"
Jason shrugged and walked over to the door to give Rocky a hand. They both pry at the lever as hard as they could. After a few good tugs, the door slammed wide open revealing a horrifying scene. Kat gasped, covering her mouth as she saw blood stain walls and a few dead bodies in front of the door.
"Oh god ,that's sick." Adam groaned as he looked away.
Rocky was about to take a step out when a ceiling light fell to the ground, causing sparks to fly everywhere. Kat screamed at the sudden event and grabbed onto Jason as they all slowly began to walk out into the hall. A few more bodies were lying around on the floor and blooding was dripping from the walls. Rocky bent down and inspected some of the victems. He noticed claw and bite marks. Some of the bodies were so shredded up that you couldn't even tell who they were
"We have to get the hell of here." Merrick pointed out the obvious.
Jason looked around, trying to avoid looking at the bodies, "The space pods shuld be on the 3rd floor. Maybe they still work."
Adam shook his head, "What about Kim!? We have to find her."
Rocky agreed, "I hate to say it, but she brought us here, its only nice enough to take her off the ship. We can't just leave her here."
"I want to get out of here now!!" Kat screamed, still holding onto Jason.
Jason began walking forward, "Come on, let's go. Keep your guard up."
Conner and his crew had woken up a half hour later after Jason's. Conner stood up groaning as he looked around and saw everyone pacing around and trying to figure out what to do. He stood up and groaned as everyone turned to him.
"Finally, sleeping beauty has woken up." Kira smirked.
Conner yawned, "What happened?"
Tori shrugged, "I have no clue. The ship stopped moving, the door is still locked and there is no power." She filled him.
"On top of that, all those screams we heard before we got knocked out." Hunter added.
Dustin was busy trying to open the door but it was jammed. He sighed as he kept slamming at it, "Dude, I give up. We can't open the door."
Kendrix crossed her arms, "Of course you can't. The door is run by a the control panel." She pointed at the side panel wall, "But all power has been cut from the door, unless I can transfer power, were pretty much stuck."
"Why can't we just pry it open with brute force?" Conner asked.
Hunter sighed, "We tried that already."
Kendrix thought for a sec, she was still pretty sad that she lost a good friend, but she had to keep herself alive and everyone else. Something was going on, around the ship and she had to figure out what. She noticed Tori's laptop on the bed and walked over to it.
"Does this work?" She asked.
Tori nodded, "Yeah I think so."
Kendrix grabbed the lap top and dashed over to the control panel on the wall and opened it, revealing the wires and connection. She pulled some of it out and began wiring it to the back of the laptop.
"What are you doing?" Dustin bent over to watch.
Kendrix glanced at him, before going back to work, "This control panel is what opens and closes the door. Well this also should be connected to the main computer on the bridge. Maybe I can direct power for the door, instead of focusing on the emergency lights."
"Wouldn't we be in the dark?" Conner asked.
She nodded, "Only for like 5 minutes. Then the computer will revert back to its orignal status."
"Uh okay." Dustin was a bit dumbfounded.
Kendrix typed a few things on the laptop, pulling up a program. She surfed through and found what she was looking for, "Perfect." She whispered, clicking on it. The lights shut off and it was pitch black.
Tori shined a flashlight at them and Kendrix pointed to the control panel, "Enter your password."
Tori walked over and entered the password and inserted the key into the slot, the door opened into the dark hallway. Suddenly the laptop began to spark and Kendrix knocked it aside before the screen turn blacked.
"It must of fried the laptop." She pointed out.
"Ah well, at least the door is open." Tori shrugged as they all quickly enter the hall.
Tori dropped her flashlight at the sight of all the dead bodies. Dustin quickly picked it up and shined it around, giving a disgust look on his face. Tori grabbed Hunter, scared as hell.
"Oh my god, Hunter. I can't look." She burred her head.
Kira backed away into the room, "Im not going out there."
"Come on Kira. We have to find a way out. We can't stay here forever." Conner shouted.
"There is something out there! I am not going if there is something that is going to kill us all!" She shot back.
"Holy crap, where did the emergency lights go!?" Rocky shouted as they stood in 2 floor hallway.
The lights that Kendrix had disabled for a bit had startled the other rangers. They couldn't see anything and were afraid to touch the wall to guide them. The rangers stood around in the dark, listening to each other's voice, deciding what they should do. Kat was squeezing onto Jason's arm as she tried to look around in the dark.
"What now? I don't want to keep walking. The last thing I need, is too trip over a dead body!" Rocky complained.
"Do you ever shut up Rocky." Adam felt a bit irritated.
Merrick stood there, as usual, he was the silent type. Here he is, standing in a ship full of horror, in pitch black night, listening to people argue. Suddenly he felt a wet slime fall on his shoulder. He touched it, not knowing what it was. The emergency lights finally flickered and turned on and Merrick noticed the liquid was green.
"What is that?" Jason ask, everyone turning to stare at Merrick.
Merrick looked up, his eyes widen, "Holy shit!!" He screamed as he dived out of the way.
A huge black creature fell to the ground where Merrick was standing. The rangers gasped, taking a step back as the creature hissed. The creature stood on 4 hind legs and had a large tail. Its head was tremendously big and was covered in a slick slime. The alien turned and faced the rangers, its eyes were dark yellow and its mouth was oozing with green slime. Its jaws were filled with rows of sharp teeth. The tail waved in the back, smashing into the walls as it it tapped its foot, which had long skin piercing nails.
Merrick got back up and stood beside the other rangers, waiting to know what to do next.
"Dude, dude, am I seeing things!?" Adam pointed out.
Kat cringed as she hid behind Jason, "Make it go away!"
"You can't just get rid of a freaking' alien!" Jason yelled back.'
The creature started to creep closer, suddenly it was knocked back by a few bullets that came out of no where. The rangers turned around and saw Eric Myers holding a gun, firing a few more rounds past the rangers and into the aliens head.
"RUN YOU IDIOTS!" Eric shouted.
The rangers didn't question is command started running towards him. The alien quickly recovered and slammed its tail against the wall, causing the ship to shake. Rocky tripped and fell as the other rangers continue to run.
Kat turned around, "Come on Rocky! Hurry!!"
The alien picked up speed as Rocky tried to scramble to his feet. The alien slammed its claws down onto Rocky's legs, making him scream out in pain. Kat stood there screaming as the other rangers turned around to see what just happened.
"OW AHH." Rocky cried out.
Eric dashed forward, firing bullets like crazy. The alien used its tail to block the bullets from hitting its head and bit into Rocky's shoulder.
"Damn!" Eric shouted as he kept firing.
The creature bit down hard on Rocky, lifting its foot up and bringing it down on his back. The other rangers all stood there in horror, listening to the sound of their fromer blue zeo ranger friend cry out in pain. The alien crunched down hard on him and ripped him half, tossing the upper body against the wall. The blood sprayed all over Kat as she screamed. Eric grabbed her and started to run towards the others.
"Holy fuck! ROCKY!" Jason shouted.
"MOVE!" Eric shouted to them.
The creature started to charge forward at the rangers. Eric spun around and fired a few more bullets before turning back around. The rangers dashed down the hall.
"Into the security! Into the security room!" Eric kept shouting.
The rangers obeyed and ran in, Eric and Kat coming in last. Jason slammed the door closed and locked it. Eric pushed him aside and pressed a button a control a control a panel to the left of the wall. A second metal door dropped down as the creature rammed into the door. The room shook as it tried to break in.
"Oh my god. Oh my god. Rocky." Kat began crying.
Adam was breathing heavily, his eyes were watering. His best friend had died, he didn't know what to do. He had to sit down, he grabbed a chair and covered his head. Jason slammed his fist against the wall.
"Dammit!" He shouted.
Eric put the gun back into his holster and went to the computer, "Look, I'm sorry about your friend but we have to get off this ship."
"For christ sake, give them a second. A ranger just died. It doesn't happen everyday!" Merrick pointed out.
"It did yesterday. The former yellow ranger just got sucked out into space. Okay, were obviously lose lives here, but we still have to keep moving." Eric shouted back, "Can any of you guys moprh!?"
"Were not rangers anymore. What about you? Didn't you bring your quantum morpher?" Merrick asked.
He shook his head, "I should have. I left it at home. They said I couldn't bring it. Dumb reason too."
Kat then gasped, "Kim! She's still out there."
"She might not be alive." Adam mumbled.
Kat shook her head, "Don't say that! I know she is. We got to look for her."
Jason stood near the door, still hearing the pounding. The alien was still trying to break in. He sighed and looked at them.
"Were not going anytime soon."
"Run!!" Conner shouted.
His gang wasn't having any better luck either. They had spotted an alien digging through the dead corpses and its chasing after them. The rangers dashed around the first floor hallway and towards the stairs. They quickly ran up and through the kitchen of the second floor.
"It's coming! Run for your life!" Kira shouted as she dashed into the kitchen.
The others followed, the kitchen was empty and dark. Dustin ran towards one of the drawers and pulled out a large butcher knife as an alien creature slammed into the room.
"Dustin! What are you doing!" Hunter shouted.
Dustin ran around the kitchen table and the alien spotted him.
"Over here you freak!" Dustin screamed.
The alien charged forward and Dustin threw the knife right into its head. The alien winced in pain as it slammed its tail into Dustin. He went flying into an open freezer, and the door closed on him.
"Dustin!" Tori screamed.
Kendrix pushed everyone out the back exit, "Come on! We don't have time! He'll be fine!" She shouted.
Kendrix spun around and slammed the door shut, locking it tightly and they all continued running down the hallway. The alien try to break open the door but couldn't. It turned around and started to locate where Dustin had fallen. Getting closer and closer to the closed freezer...
