The Never Ending Cycle

Chapter Two: Trapped

Part One

"O.K., will somebody mind telling me what's going on here," a frustrated Leo demanded of the two fellow captives. "I mean, it really isn't common for people to get kidnapped by an enemy who was thought long dead, and become prisoners with other Power Rangers in a...," Leo looks around trying to put his new prison to words.

"An impenetrable box," TJ suggests in a harsh manner, he obviously wasn't in the mood to play the silly game.

"Anyways, Leo, we don't know how Psycho Red put himself back together, and at the moment, we don't really care," Andros replied, the same tone in his voice as TJ's. "All we know is as much as you do; that he is alive and he is kidnapping Red Rangers, and not destroying them for some reason."

Seeing as how they really don't know what was going on or what to do, Leo finally gave up the tough guy act, and sat down on the floor next to TJ. Once again the feeling of fear went through him as he realized that neither his morpher nor saber were in sight. He was totally cut off from the other Galaxy Ranger's, most of all Kendrix, who he knew would be in a state of panic and worry; and Leo guessed that his two cellmates were in the same boat.

The three of them sat in silence for nearly five minutes, before Leo turned to TJ and asked, "Dose anybody know that this happened to you?"

TJ looked at Andros, who was just looking at the ground, eyes closed and not easy to tell if he was awake or not, before TJ returned his head toward his original position, and replied, "Yeah, Cassie dose." Leo knew that Cassie was the pink ranger in both his Turbo and Astro day's as a ranger, as well as TJ's wife. "She tried to help me fight him off, but he was to strong for us," Leo nodded in agreement, knowing very well what it felt like. "Same went for Andros here," TJ continued, nudging his head in the direction of the Red Space Ranger, who still had yet to move his head. "Psycho Red fought both Andros and Ashley and, according to him, won easily."

"Kendrix wasn't their when I fought him," Leo said, not wanting silence to over take them. "I didn't want to take the risk of having both of us being killed and having no one there for Rachel, you know what I mean."

Andros nodded in agreement, having finally looking up at the mention of Leo's wife; having a son of his own let him know exactly what he meant. TJ did not have any children yet, but he still understood what he was talking about.

"How long have you guys been here," Leo asked a few minutes later, not being able to stand the quiet.

Andros was the one to respond, saying the first thing since he let Leo aware of his presence about half an hour ago.

"For nearly two hour's."

"And he hasn't said anything about what were doing here and not dead," Leo asked, a confused look on his face.

"He brought Andros here first, I guess because he is the one Psycho Red hate's the most, then came to get me," TJ explained to the confused Leo. "After dropping me here, he said that we were going to play this big part in his grand scheme for revenge. An hour later, he came and brought you."

Leo was going to ask another question when he heard footsteps coming down the hallway. All three of them turned their head's in the direction of the sound, and watched Psycho Red reenter the room.

Leo grew tense as he saw what Psycho Red held in his hands; his transmorpher and quasar saber. All of the Galaxy Rangers were very sensitive and protective about their sabers, and to see his in the hand of Psycho Red made Leo wish it was destroyed.

"Enjoying the company Red Turbo and Astro Rangers," Psycho Red mocked, walking over to a large metal cabinet on the wall directly across from them. "Well, I hope that you enjoy the space you have, because it will become even fuller as time goes by."

"What do you want with us? Why are you capturing us, and not destroying us like you were made to do," Leo shouted, not knowing if he could be heard outside the box?

"Because, Red Galaxy Ranger, like your friends have probably told you, you will be use for my grand plans, which I will not tell you until you are all present," Psycho Red answered, getting closer to the cage and looking straight at Leo.

After a couple second's of glaring at each other, Psycho Red lifted the saber in his hand and began looking at it.

"This is quite a marvelous weapon, ranger. One that I am guessing you don't like me touching," he said, still looking at the weapon as he went back to the metal cabinet.

Opening it, Andros, TJ, and Leo got a chance to see inside it. All over the inside there were indentations, 19, and three of them had objects in them.

"Our morpher's," TJ shouted, shock clear in his voice as he and Andros stood up.

"That's right, Red Turbo ranger," Psycho Red laughed as he placed Leo' transmorpher in one slot and his Quasar Saber in the one next to it. "Your precious Power Morpher's are going to reside here until their time of use comes."

"The only way they're going to be used, Psycho Red, is in destroying you," Andros gritted through his teeth.

Psycho Red just laughed his robotic evil laugh of his, shut the cabinet door's, turned around and walked up to the cage wall again. He looked at Andros up against the wall, and said, "And how do you plan on doing that, Red Astro Ranger, after all you are 1) Trapped 2) In no way able to get in contact with any of your ranger friends and 3) Unable to beat me, seeing as how I have beaten all three of you, with help on your part from rangers from your own team, to a pulp?"

Andros said nothing.

"I thought so," Psycho Red hissed back, ending the conversation. He turned around and began to walk away, waving back to them and shouting back to them, "You will have one more companion when I return, so be prepared for that" as he disappeared in a flash of red light.

"What now," TJ asked, looking too Andros for help, all hope gone from his voice.

Andros looked both of the prisoners over and replied, "We wait."

Part 2

The Command Bubble in the heart of Aquitar's main city of Liquidia was as busy today as it always was. All signs from the outside showed nothing out of the ordinary going on. But inside, an important meeting was about to take place.

The top of the tower, Watch Central, where the five Power Ranger's of Aquitar called home and base, was holding a meeting of high importance. All of the important officials of the planet were their. Well almost everyone: Tideus, the Yellow Ranger; Corcus, the Black Ranger; Cestro, the Blue Ranger; Aurico, the Red Ranger and field commander: Delphina, the White Ranger and leader of the team were present; Billy Cranston, Head Technician and Scientist of Aquitar, was their as well as Cestria, Billy's chief assistance and girlfriend; Washrus, Aquitar's head of the economy; and Yeashur, the chief of non-ranger law enforcement, was also present.

At the moment all of them were waiting on the arrival of the President of Aquitar to arrive to begin. None of them were nervous, seeing how they all had been in the meeting with the President. They were just worried at what was taking him so long.

"Some thing must have happened to him," Tideus suggested, trying to put answers for the president's tardiness.

"I don't see what," Delphina asked. "Every being on this planet knows that if anything were to happen to our leader, we would obliterate the person or person's responsible."

"Yes, but it wouldn't be the first time some one tried. Remember the Yokai and their kidnapping of our Yeashur here," Corcus reminded his leader.

"True, my friend, to true," Yeashur responded, remembering the event that led him to become a police officer.

"Maybe, instead of panicking," Billy interrupted, "we should just wait."

"Or maybe," a robotic voice said from the doorway, "you should just surrender and give me what I want."

Everyone turned towards the voice's direction and gasped.

In the doorway stood a human looking robot, with red flame like objects jutting from his head and body. In his hands was President Oceanic.

Psycho Red had the president.

Instantly the Aquitar Ranger's called out their morphing cry.

"It's morphing time!"

"I need White Aquitar Ranger Power," Delphina cried, transforming into the White Ranger

"I need Black Aquitar Ranger Power," Corcus ordered, morphing into the Black Ranger

"I need Blue Aquitar Ranger Power," and Cestro became the Blue Ranger

"I need Yellow Aquitar Ranger Power," and Tideus, the Yellow Ranger was ready.

"I need Red Aquitar Ranger Power," Aurico shouted, and the team was completed with the Red Ranger's appearance.

The five powered Ranger's all stepped in front of those who didn't have any.

"Put him down instantly," Aurico ordered, now positioned in the middle of the team.

"Now why would I possibly do that?" Psycho Red asked this with sarcasm dripping from his voice. "If I were to put him down, all of you would have the opportunity to attack me. While if I do have him, you all not only can't attack me, but must do as I say."

He was right and the Ranger's knew it all to well.

"What do you want," Corcus asked, anger and hatred not trying to be stopped in his voice.

Psycho Red just lifted his hand and pointed at...

"Aurico," Cestria shouted, "you must be insane. What makes you believe he will come with you, foul machine."

"The real question, disgusting fish, is what make's you believe he won't," Psycho Red shot back. "I have the president of this whole damn planet. I think he is more important then some warrior and all of them," gesturing with his empty arm to the ranger's, "know it."

"We know that," Delphina remarked, a clear dislike of where this was going in her tone. "Doesn't mean we like it."

"Why do you want me in the first place," Aurico asked, the same tone that was in Delphina's voice was in his as well?

"I shall tell you once I have you all in my possession. Then I shall inform you AHH!" Psycho Red was caught off by a yell.

Apparently, Billy had snuck behind him while the talking was gong on and attacked him, causing him to drop the president.

Instinctively, all five rangers lunged toward their foe. At the same pace on

Billy's part, he jumped toward President Oceanic, grabbed him, and rolled

out of harms way.

Starting the battle, Aurico was the first to reach the enemy, took his saber out of the sheath on his back, a slashed. A shower of spark's emerged from where Aurico hit on Psycho Red's chest

"Argh," Psycho Red shouted as he stumbled back from both the hit and the shock!

That didn't last long, as he was able to summon his Psylo Saber and block the double attack coming from Tideus and Delphina.

Jumping from an attack, Corcus landed in front of the watching crowd of his friends.

"Get out of here," he shouted, with his eyes still on the battle.

"No," Cestria cried, "We won't leave you. You could use some help."

"You must leave and get the president, and yourselves, to safety," he finalized the thought, as he jumped back into the battle.

"He's right," Billy admitted after thinking it over, "you must leave."

"Us." asked Yearesh, "But what about you?"

Billy just smiled, reached behind his back and said, "I can help."

And with that he pulled out from behind him a device that hadn't been activated in nearly a decade.

"It's morphing time! Triceratops!" and in a flash of blue light, Billy transformed into the Blue Mighty Morphing Power Ranger.

"Go," he shouted. "Hyia," and with that said, Billy leapt into his first battle in 10 years.

The battle was still a draw when Billy entered. The number of rangers made it so that when Psycho Red knocked one color down, two of the other one's would take its place.

Cestro took blast at Psycho Red with his Ninja Blue Shot, which was blocked, and went in for a roundhouse kick. Psycho Red just caught it, flipped him around, and slammed into his gut with his fist, sending the Blue Aquitar Ranger flying into the conference table.

Billy was at his side to lift him to his feet.

"Billy," Cestro asked, getting a look at his costumed friend?

"It's me Cestro. I just thought you could use a little help," Billy said, not even waiting for a response as he jumped into battle.

Cestro just shook his head at Billy, as he jumped in after his friend, now ally.

Delphina had just been knocked to the side as Billy and Cestro returned to battle. Billy used his Blade Blaster in blade mode and his Power Lance to slash at Psycho Red's arms while Cestro used his Kakuremaru to cut at his legs.

Psycho Red leaped away before either one of the attack's had a chance to do any real damage. He landed facing the two, got a good look at Billy and laughed.

"Do you really think that one more Ranger will do any good against me," Psycho Red asked, not really looking for an answer. "No matter what the amount of warriors you have, I shall still get what I came for."

By now, all six of the ranger's had lined up next to each other: Aurico and Delphina in the middle, Billy and Cestro flanking them, and Tideus and Corcus on the ends.

"It may not be enough to destroy you," Delphina said, pointing a finger at Psycho Red, "but we'll still never let you get a hand on our friend." Delphina clasped her pointing hand on Aurico's shoulder.

"That's right," Corcus added, putting his black gloved hand in a thumb's down position, "You will never win."

"We'll see about that," Psycho Red growled, getting into a fighting stance. The ranger's got in to one as well, getting ready to battle.

Then, in a surprise move that none of the ranger's saw coming, Psycho Red used his jump speed, swooped in the center of the group and grabbed onto Aurico, dragging him to the widow.

"Hey, stop, what are you doing," Aurico, shouted, struggling to get free of Psycho Red's grasp. Shout's from his friend's were also saying basically the same thing's, until Psycho Red shot at them a red power blast from his hand, knocking all the other ranger's off their feet, much like he did to the Galaxy Ranger's.

"What I am doing, Red Alien Ranger, is getting what I came for," Psycho Red cackled, bringing a glowing red hand to the face of Aurico's helmet. Touching it, the helmet and the rest of his uniform disappeared in the same flash of light that enveloped him when he morphed, and left an unconscious Aurico limp in his arms.

"Aurico," Corcus moaned, getting to his feet with Billy, the only two rangers left morphed, or conscious for that matter. Summoning his Ninja Black Bow to his wrist, Corcus shot three arrows toward Psycho Red.

Psycho Red just lifted his hand up in front of him, and the arrows turned around and hit Corcus straight in the chest. The Black Ranger couldn't take all of the damages anymore, and finally fell, defeated in a similar black light.

"Fool," Psycho Red spat at the fallen Corcus.

Not even looking at Billy as he was charging him, Psycho Red vanished, Aurico in hand, in thin air.

Too late for Billy to stop, and since Psycho Red was standing next to a window, Billy only had enough time to think ' Oh shit' as he crashed through the window.

A shower a glass fell along side of him as Billy demorphed. He could hear people below him screaming at his falling form. The last thing he saw as he passed out was the ground below him only a few feet away.

That is it for chapter 2. Next time another ranger becomes a prisoner of Psycho Red. Give your guesses and see if you right, next time on The Never Ending Cycle.
