Chapter One: Only The Beginning

On her way to the gym Ashley stopped and grabbed a towel from the bathroom and a water bottle from the Synthetron and then quickly made her way to the gym. A quick look around told her no one was in the gym so she quickly took of her shirt leaving herself in a pair of shorts and a sports bra.

She turned on a CD player to Evanescence and began her warm up routine that Tommy had taught them before he left. She moved back into first stance and then did a series of jabs and kicks successfully warming up her muscles. She then went into a series of routines that where as familiar as being a ranger. Slowly her muscles came to life and she was ready to have a go at the punching bag, the whole reason she had come in there.

She began to attach blindly as she thought further back in her memory Andros and the recent power change. , almost dying as a ranger, becoming a ranger, almost being killed, her father taking the one thing she thought he would never touch, her father beating her , her mom dying. It brought out a pain no one had seen, no one except her father when she killed him. It was an accident he pushed her to far and she morphed and a monster was sent down because she was morphed and her father was in the line of fire and he died. The other rangers never knew it was her father's funeral they attended as civilians but that was almost a year ago when she first got her Turbo powers.

She pulled back and was about to do a round house kick when she felt someone block the kick. Instantly she went on guard only to see Andros in a fighting stance ready to defend himself.

"Sorry. Didn't realize it was you" She said as he handed her the towel she had left on the bench and the bottle of water.

"That was real good. Who taught you?" Andros asked as he led her to the bench.

"Tommy" she said knowing she didn't need to say his last name.

"That explains it" Andros said as he held his hand out for her water asking silently if he could take a sip.

Ashley nodded her head and he took the water and took a drink.

"Feel like going again?" Andros asked" I could teach you a few things"

Ashley laughed her first laugh of the day.

"Sure why not." She said as grabbed the hand he offered her and rose to her feet.

"Why don't we spare and then go about deciding what you need to learn?" Andros asked as he pulled off his shirt and threw it on top of hers.

"That's fine with me" she said as she dogged a fist he sent flying at her countering with a round house kick.

She then did a backhand spring and fell back into her fighting stance.

Andros smirked at the action.

"Not bad you're pretty good. I can tell Tommy taught you." He said as he did a few kicks and a flip to loosen up his muscles.

"Thanks your not that bad yourself for an alien" she said taunting him.

"Oh so I'm an alien now am I?" Andros asked smirking as he advanced on her and caused her to land on her back with him pinning her down.

"Yes" she said "definitely 100 alien"

Andros smirked and then let her up throwing her towel back at her and heading towards the door.

"Night Ashley, see you in the morning" and with that he walked out of the room.

Ashley just grabbed her towel and empty water bottle tossing it into the trash and then walked back to her room. She was so tired she didn't notice that Andros had followed her to make sure she made it back to her room. Little did they know this was only the beginning of something that would change their lives forever.
