Review Responses (THANK YOU for taking the time too):

A Blissing in Disguise:

BearfootTruck: Right took me a minute, but this Sunday is Mother's Day a bore. But yes your Adrigami one-shot will definitely make it better. That's why I don't feel sorry Ashley, she wants a ranger duo. True Carlos is better but he still needs time. I'm that good? Sweet.

Super (Dumb) Star:

BearfootTruck: Very true, canon means very little to me especially when it comes to romantic ships. Only time will tell. *Wink Wink* Thanks for the Favorite here.

elijahhedgemond: Good, felt I had to warn you so to speak. Thanks for the Favorite/Follow here.


"Get outta my sight!"

Astronema states with a eerie edge in her voice. Envi-nator's shark like grin turns into a deep frown. Looking furious but not daring to approach her.

"What?! We had a deal!"

"You failed! The Silver Ranger appearing, be thankful you get half of what we agreed. Or if you'd prefer. . . Ecliptor!"

The unnecessary yell of said robotic fatherly figure doesn't complain. His ruby red eyes glare into Envi-nator's ugly face.

"Wish to die by my blade?"

Ecliptor asks with mirth in his voice box. It has Astronema give a tiny smirk as well. Envi-nator sheepishly laughs, backing up straight into blocking quantrons.

"We're good! Half the cash is better then none. No problem here, I'm gone!"

He fakes his smugness as Ecliptor hands over the money. Envi-nator nods politely quickly bolting off the Dark Fortress. Astronema gives a tiny chuckle, turning back to the viewing screen with the rangers on the beach.

"Now let's have some real fun."


BACK AT THE BEACH PARTY. . .

TJ and Carlos finally find the gang, not surprising spotting Andros/Cassie chasing one another about the shore line.

"Hey Carlos, Ashley's looking pretty bored."

TJ remarks to see the black ranger turn his head so fast if anyone other then a Power Ranger he'd have snapped it. There the brunette sits alone, looking over the ocean. (Of course they don't know she's watching Andros/Cassie) Carlos looks to TJ, whom gives him a thumbs up.

"Stop being a chicken, go get her."

Carlos bolts down the hot sands, passing Zhane carrying a cardboard tray of ice creams. He happily waves surprised seeing the plutonium blond. Zhane nods with smile, his brown eyes flash green watching Andros/Cassie move higher up the beach, away from the team's little made spot.

TJ jogs up to greet Zhane only for him and Ashley to race off leaving TJ and Carlos more confused then when Ashley hung up on them earlier.

-A/C-

"Andros, what's up?"

Cassie asks playfully, not use to seeing her boyfriend act nervous. Smiling curiously at the tiny string pouch he holds so tenderly.

"I wanted to give you this, Adele helped me pick it out. After our shifts yesterday, that's the reason I was late for our date."

Unknown to the couple Zhane and Ashley, had hid behind some boulders. Finding Andros start to bend, kneeling in front of Cassie, immediately Zhane grins as Ashley bulldozes forward.

"Ice cream guys? Cassie?"

"Yeah Andros, um I needed to talk to you."

Of course the couple don't notice Zhane and Ashley stare hotly at their swimsuit bodies. Or in Andros's case very showing skin.

The ravenette scoff softly turning around as their Red leader glares at the interruption. Still the couple quick kiss, as Andros strains his smile at his best friend.

"Zhane! You didn't tell you coming to Earth. How are things with the rebels-"

"Oh looks like we aren't the only interrupters!"

All 4 turn around at that dark voice. Andros glares suspiciously as guy in long black leather jacket in shaggy brown hair walks up smirking. He leads 4 others in similar wear but in Pink, Black, Yellow and Blue shirts.

"What? Gift to Pinky, not go as planned Red ranger?"

Immediately the 4 stand ready, as Andros looks the guy dead in the eye. Now placing the voice.

"Human faces don't make difference."

"You Psychos really never learn!"

Andros/Cassie glance to one another. The couple beyond furious, they keep getting bothered. Psycho Red laughs, his team casually walking closer. Cocooned in bright light, they shed their disguises.

"Gotta say you looked better before."

Ashley remarks as Psychos Red and Yellow charge at them. Zhane tosses the ice cream tray at the rest. He looks to Cassie as she rolls off Andros's backside landing her left kick at Psycho Pink.

"Sorry about the ice cream, Cassie. I'll get more later."

"No big deal Zhane."

Psycho Red spin kicks Andros, knocking him to the sands. The string pouch tumbles a few feet. Deep chocolate brown eyes widen, right hand out stretched using his telekinesis. It lifts off the sands starting to move closer. Cassie is thrown full force into Andros as they hear Psycho Pink laugh.

Psycho Red and Pink charge on, as Yellow, Black and Blue keep fighting the buttered rangers. Psycho Red seems to grin as he hands Psycho Pink the string pouch.

"Oh thank you."

"Of course, anything to make the rangers miserable."

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF THAT!"

Andros howls strongly. Comb kicks Black and Blue off from restraining him. Ducks incoming punch from Black, as Cassie high kicks Black in the back of his legs. He smacks into the sands. Yellow and Blue front flip over their heads, reaching their own team. Psycho Pink laughs again.

"No can do. This is mine now."

"I don't think so! LET'S ROCKET!"

The Red Space ranger stands there ready to break bones. Cassie smiles softly, quickly follows her leader, the Pink Space ranger runs into the tray. The Black Psycho still attacks the Zhane and Ashley.

"GUYS! Sorry we're late!"

The Blue Space ranger yells as he high kicks the Black Psycho away. Immediately he goes after the Black Space ranger disregarding anything else.

As the Space rangers fight their Psycho counterpart. None of them notice as Psycho Pink is forced to lose her grip on the string pouch, it floats into Zhane's hand. He and Ashley grin, bidding away, their eyes flashing green.


TO BE CONTINUED. . .

Author's Note: Yes I'm aware of the time Astronema creates the Psychos that she is brainwashed into being Astronema again. When she already knew whom she really is as Karone. For the story sake, she and Space Rangers never knew the truth. That she is just the Princess of Darkness.
