Author's Note: I AM SO SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't written in forever, I know. I have been unbelievably busy, but have been thinking about this story a lot. Finally I've found some time to get the ol' creative juices flowing again and write some more! I wish I could take this chapter into more depth, but I just don't have the time right now. I haven't forgotten all of you readers who have been SO amazing and supported me so far. Please keep reading my story! I promise to write more as soon as possible (and it won't be another three months this time)! Think of this as a short (sorry again) teaser for what is to come. And trust me, there's a lot more to come. Heh heh heh... Enjoy!

Hunter and Blake stood panting, completely stunned. They had fought off the second wave of kelzacks and were now left in total confusion.
"Bro, what just happened?" Blake asked breathlessly.
Hunter was at a loss for words and could only shake his head. "I have no idea," he said more to himself than to his brother.
"Choobo... he shot her! Why would he do that? It's not like he wanted to kill-"
"She was telling us the truth," Hunter broke in; it had just dawned on him. "She... she wasn't lying to me.... I mean, to us."
"I KNEW it." Blake felt relieved. He knew which side Marah was on now, or at least he thought he did. He shuddered at the thought of what awaited her on the ship.
"Choobo just... took her..." Hunter was murmuring to himself. 'She didn't want to go. She was screaming,' he thought, something welling up in his chest.
"BLAKE!"
Both brothers turned suddenly as a very feminine voice echoed behind them. The Wind Rangers were running up to them, Tori in the lead. Hunter glanced at Blake, who was silent. The Wind Rangers stopped fifteen feet away.
"Dude, where did all the kelzacks go?" the Yellow Ranger asked dumbly. Hunter glared at him viciously, not wanting to deal with these sugary do-gooders.
"We took care of them. Blake, let's get out of here." Hunter turned, but Blake hesitated. He was staring at that stupid blonde ranger. She looked pleadingly at him.
"I'm sorry," was all Blake said before turning to leave with his brother.
******************
"NO! DON'T DO THIS TO ME!" Marah screamed at the top of her lungs, struggling as Choobo bound her tightly to Lothor's throne. The familiar dimly lit room now made her feel nauseous. The ropes practically cut off her circulation. "CHOOBO PLEASE!" she cried, watching him step over to the control panel. Kapri entered the room.
"So good to see you back!" Kapri said almost genuinely.
"What have you done to Uncle," Marah's voice dropped to an aversive whisper.
"Just tweaked his mother board ever so slightly. Don't worry, sister. It's painless." Marah followed Kapri's gaze to Choobo. He looked up at Marah, made a nervous involuntary sound, and pressed a button.
The dreaded machinery hissed as it descended down on Marah's head. "Please!" Marah whimpered, "please...." Kapri's face was blank. A thunderous crackle shook Marah. Blinding blue light surrounded her. Her heart hammered against her heaving chest. The light was painful and caused her eye lids to unwillingly stay open. Her mouth widened to scream as an inky black started to appear like smoke in front of her, but no sound came out. She was more terrified than ever before. Faster, faster the black replaced the blue light until the blue was totally gone. The black hung all around like a suffocating blanket. Marah couldn't breathe, couldn't think, couldn't move. She was paralyzed. She felt herself suddenly begin to float weightlessly towards a tiny dot of white light up ahead. Just floating. Fear left her body. She was peaceful now. She embraced the white light, smiling. It was warm and welcoming... and then... darkness.
