AN: Oops... I should've warned you guys that the first few chapters jump around quite a bit, to set the scene.
Warning: Rated for implied violence.
Chapter Two
Maya smiled as she padded down the street, the earth feeling as sturdy and fresh under her feet as always. She was in a very good mood today, and was eager to spread her good news. Which was why she was here, heading towards the gardens. Kendrix would be there, doing another one of her experiments.
As she headed towards her friend's greenhouse, as she called it, Maya slowed slightly. The earth felt different here, cold and brittle somehow. And she slowly approached the greenhouse, to which she could now see the door was slightly ajar, the feeling of the cold earth only got worse.
Reaching out a trembling hand Maya pushed open the door, a gust of wind billowing out forcing her backwards. What she saw next made her scream.
A scream which was echoed some twenty years in the future.
Z covered her mouth as she fell backwards, wanting to get as far away as she could from the scene which was now permanently burned into her memory.
"Z?! What's wrong?" Bridge came bounding up to her as Sky ran around the corner.
Z's terrified eyes flickered in the direction of Syd's room before she turned and threw herself down the corridor. As Bridge entered Syd's room, Sky intercepted Z. Crushing her against his chest, Sky held Z tightly as she shook violently, her sobs freezing everyone who could hear them down the corridor.
Bridge slowly walked back out of Syd's room, his face pale and his shoulder's drooped. Lifting his head he managed to meet Sky's frantic eyes, who hadn't moved from his position of holding Z, to confirm what they had both feared when Z had screamed.
"She's dead Sky." Bridge's whisper travelled the whole of the SPD headquarters, a stillness accompanying it that marked the passing of a dearly loved friend.
In one galaxy at two points of time, two pink rangers lay still and cold, their blonde hair fanned about them, their blue eyes frozen wide open, and their hearts cut from their chests.
