Umbra said this needed to be better developed.

So I'll try, this was just a scene that flashed into my head and had to be written down to make it leave. I never actually intended to develop it into more, or even post it.

This is a few days after chapter one. Back-story will be told through flash back, which is italicized.


"Andros, hey what are you doing back?" T.J. asked he was surprised when he saw Andros in the engine room. He was supposed to be on Eltar recovering from his recent captivity in Crinoirs(1) dungeon.

"I just dropped by to pick this up." He lifted his morpher up to view. His skin was still cracked from the third degree burns he had received. T.J. couldn't understand how he was able to move the hand. Karone had an Idea he had told T.J. and he needed to be able to morph for it.

He managed to talk his way out of their quite well. Karone showed up a few hours later wanting to know if we had seen him. He'd taken off. No one could find him. He tried to explain. He didn't know.

He had been more damaged than I realized. Then anyone had realized. It started about six months ago. Zhane had been out doing somthing, I think he was jogging. He ended up getting captured by Crinoir. We saw him the next day. When we saw him we allknew what had happened. Brain washing. Coercion of some sort. We tried everything to get him back. Nothing worked.

When they took Andros we had been worried that it would happen again. We would lose our leader as well. Weeks passed with no sign.

WhenDECA pin pionted the location we went straight there depending on dumb luck to see us through. In retrospect itwasn't my best plan, but it worked.

The heavy stone door was opened to reveal another barricade of metal bars. It was so cold that his breath was visible in the air. The aroma of scorched flesh hung faintly in the air.

He was curled in the far left corner. Arm cradled protectively against his chest. His head leaning against the wall eye's closed asleep. Asleep or unconscious it was hard to tell.

He didn't react when the door opened. Ashley was the first in de-morphing she crouched to the floor. She shook her boyfriend lightly hoping he would wake up. He flinched drawing himself away and further into the corner.

"Andros it's me. Were all here were getting you out of here." She soothed. The ranger didn't relax. His voice whimpered questions unintelligible to the rest of the people in the room. The yellow ranger had to spend at least ten minutes trying to make him believe this wasn't a trick. A new torture cooked up by his captures.

"I need you to stand can you do that?." Karone moved over to help. Cassie and T.J." kept there Astro blasters at the ready looking out the door making sure. Crinoir or worse Zhane wouldn't find them unprepared.

Andros leaned heavily against his sister depending on her not to let him fall.

Later on Eltar we received a full list on the injuries he had sustained. It was long. He'd developed pneumonia while locked up. It was minor, meaning non-life threatening.

He'd seemed okay; as okay as he could have been anyway.

We were naïve. The doctor told me; just a few hours ago actually that Zhane had been the one to administer the torture. Andros he- He hadn't wanted us to know.

Karone was the first to find out. She found out from watching the news.

The media has been having a field day. Two of the galaxies most recognizable ranger's dead, in an evident murder suicide. As far as I know no ones talking to them. Not us the Doctors or military. Still they report anything they can regardless of the accuracy.

Local military discovered him after discovering the enemy worksite abandoned. The bodies had been left where they fell.

The general of the Arrakian military, the system this happened in presented us with the Morphers when we arrived on the planet after receiving the official notice.

They won't work anymore. When you touch a morpher there's a heat to them. You can feel the power flowing under the surface. Andros's Astromorpher and Zhane's Digimorpher are as dead as they are.

There's a lot of speculation on why this is. I don't even know how the hell they found out. The IGN has been having interviews with experts talking about different theories for days.

A university Professor or at least the Eltarian equivalent of one has requested we turn the morphers over to him I have no problem with it personally, but if any one dose it's not happening. Judging by the way Ashley been acting with them I don't think it will happen.


1) I needed to make up a bad guy.

Please don't tell me my grammar is crap again. That is unless it is crap again of course. I tried I really did, being dyslexic is hard.

I'm also worried that the quality of this isn't that good. If its requested I shall atempt to write this again. Prehaps chronologically this time.
