Souls and Power
by John Chubb
"It's beautiful Andros.", Ashley said as she looked up at the night sky.
"Nowhere near as beautiful as you.", Andros said to his newlywed wife held snugly in his arms. He too looked up at the multicolored light patterns dancing above the night sky of the planet Hades. "I guess the ghosts on this planet want to put on a good show for us."
"Nothing beats this. Peace and quiet on a planet with no hassels. Beautiful scenery in the night sky. And me with the man I love.", Ashley had said as she cuddled closer to her husband.
"I can't believe Hardrive set up this whole trip.", Andros said. Hardrive decided to set up a whole romantic cruise through the stars stopping at romantic places throughout the journey. "How did he pull it off?"
Ashley smiled. "He turned on a 36 hour Love Boat marathon. Hardrive can be nostalgic towards the romantic."
"Yeah well I think we had better head back inside. The spirits here probably need their rest." And with that Andros led Ashley towards the mobile safehouse that had been on Hades for years until Andros had an idea. He reached beneath Ashley and picked her up as he carried her beneath the threshold.
"Andros!", Ashley said giggling
"It's something T.J. told me about. I thought I'd give it a try."
Ashley just cuddled up to Andros as she enjoyed the ride.
After the Luciferian Siege had ended, the GSA had allowed repair work to begin on the mobile safehouse in the event a ranger team needed it again. It was damaged when a Luciferian ship crashed into it as it was doing a Kamekazi run with a ranger trapped inside. Even though the ship was empty, the damage it did when it crashed was severe. Fortunately it was repairable and as a reward for freeing the universe the GSA allowed the reconstruction project to commence.
The chief of the repair project was a woman known only as Ms. Fairweather. She didn't allow anyone to know her first name, but the repair work she did was admirable. Fairweather even learned a few things about ranger technology. The last Andros had heard, Ms. Fairweather was assigned to the Lightspeed Ranger project to fight off some evil that Zordon's wave of good was protected from.
Since the fall of Dark Specter and the Luciferian Empire the rise of evil has only been limited to scattered pockets of space. Which is probably a good thing., Andros thought as he lay in bed with Ashley. If another evil overlord came to rally the dark powers together the universe could be in real trouble.
Andros was surprised when Hardrive chose Hades as a stopoff point on the 'honeymoon cruise' as Ashley called it. But Andros was glad in a way that they did. In the event where another universal monarch had arisen, Andros wanted to make sure if there were any other projects Zordon had that could be used in case the need arised.
So with that Andros got out of bed and put his bathrobe on. Ashley stirred a little and Andros said, "Don't worry Ashley, I'm just going for a walk. Go on back to sleep."
Andros walked down the corridors of the repaired mobile safehouse until he came to the work labs and storage vaults. In the first lab he had entered he saw a half completed zord that was supposed to be a sucessor for Defiance as a carrier for the Night Zords. But due to Zordon's sacrifice, it as well as a lot of the other projects at the safehouse were never completed.
Andros left the first lab to enter the second one. As he entered the lab and looked up, he gasped. In front of him was a zord that looked monstrous in appearance but stood like a warrior. It was all in red with wings springing from it's back, and two antennae resembling horns that stuck out from it's forehead. Andros looked at the console in front of him as it read-RED DEMONZORD.
Andros decided to leave the lab to go to one of the other labs unaware that he had activated the repair and construction drones in the lab when he tripped a switch on the console when he turned around. Andros was unaware that the construction of the fearsome zord was resuming.
When Andros entered the second lab he saw a new megaship in a red and blue color(more red than blue) that looked like it was to be more advanced than the old Astro Megaship. Andros walked on board, and even though the main lights were turned out with only spotlights lighting the way Andros made out the architecture was similar to the old megaship. When Andros made his way to the bridge he saw that it appeared to be more advanced than that of the old megaship, despite that there were still some loose wires and connectors dangling from the walls and ceiling due to the zord's lack of completion. Andros looked around for the engineering console for the control to activate the power systems. The lights had turned on dimly allowing Andros to take in the advanced(but incomplete)tech the new megaship provided.
Andros called up the specs for the new megaship which the file called 'Astro Megaship Alpha'. According to the file the ship was able to reach Hyperrush 10 which exceeded the speed of the original Megaship. It was also able to increase weapons power by channelling through the main engines if the commander ordered it by the means of a kill switch on the central podium. The main lasers were replaced with gatling lasers at the base that could traverse and attack targets at the side and behind the megaship. Other weapons on board ranged from an ADF pod which carried five sets of missiles, to a sunburst generator which could be used to blind pursuers, and throw off heat seeking weapons.
"Stellar.", Andros said.
Andros then looked at the new Megaship's development progress. One of the things Zordon never got to was creating and installing the program that would run the twelve trillion megabyte computer that was to run the megaship. There were also a few components and supplies that were needed for the new megaship's completion. I can probably find those here, Andros thought, as he left the new megaship and made his way to the safehouse's command center...where Ashley was waiting with her arms crossed in front of her.
"Find anything?", she asked with a smirk.
Andros smiled and shook his head. "Well, quite a few things actually, one of them was this scary looking zord in red called the Demonzord."
"The one that kind of looks like the Epyon Gundam from Gundam Wing?", Ashley asked making reference to the popular cartoon on Earth.
"Yeah, it looked something like that. I tell you it was the scariest looking zord I ever saw."
"It's supposed to be scary. Especially when it's facing evil.", Ashley said. "Anything else interesting?"
"I did find a megaship that wasn't quite done. Wanna help me finish it?"
"Hmmm...Let's see...what do I tell the other wives about when they ask about our honeymoon?", Ashley asked in mock thought. "Went on a cruise, took in some sights, helped my husband finish up a megaship. Guess that's something the other wives can't top. So why not?"
Andros kissed Ashley on the cheek, "Let's get dressed and get working."
"Oh, I looked through the computer files, the repair drones that Justin and I used to complete the Explorer zords are still operational.", Ashley stated.
"Great, that will make the work go faster."
The Dionysus space platform was a technological marvel devoted to the practicing of the arts, and expanding creativity throughout the universe. Plays and other productions were put on there to demonstrate the dramatic talent of millions of species throughout the universe. Also there were art exibits from many cililizations put on display for other civilizations to marvel at.
It was also the haven for smugglers and undesirables. Two of them were together for a meeting. One carried a special chip of some kind while the other brought in a beeping container. The markings on the side read 'ASTRO MEGASHIP'.
"Do you have what I need?", the one with the megaship container said.
The other undesireable brought the chip into view. "Yes, with this it shall grant you the power of empathy, which will allow you to get others to feel for you."
"Excellent.", said the first. "I need to rebuild my accounts. The botched job with my son left me unable to show my face for a long time. I'm in desperate need for cash."
"Do not sweat it.", the second said. "What's in this chip will have people eating out of your hand. Just apply it to your arm and the power toxin will surge through your body."
"And what I have you can most definitely use." The first addressed the container from the megaship. This thing here contains all the mission logs, information, and specs for the Power Rangers and their weapons. Surely that's something you can use."
The second looked at the container. "And it may have information on other powers I may be able to sell. Very well Mr. Kincaid, the empathy for the info capsule."
"Thank you Power Broker.", the first undesireable, Vincent Kincaid said as he looked over the chip in his hands that would lead to a new fortune from the people.
Neither Vincent or the Power broker noticed a flash on the side of the container. A flash that was sending a morse code message.
S.O.S. D.E.C.A.
Andros was underneath the helm console making the final installments to the helm control while Ashley worked on the installation of the compuret panels for the sensors on the science station with two drones helping out. "Let's see.", Andros said with a wrench in his hand. "One more twist to get the torque just right and.....perfect."
Andros then closed the compartment door and got up to see how Ashley was doing when the communications panel lit up.
"I just fixed that!", Ashley said as Andros went over to the panel.
"Ashley, I think we're getting something over the comm wave. Over the comm line they heard a series of beeps.
"That's Morse Code.", Ashley said. Andros looked on confused. Ashley went on to explain, "Morse code is a series of long and short beeps used to form letters of words in the event secret messages need to be sent. Someone is sending a message."
"Can you decipher it?", Andros asked.
"I'm working on it now.", Ashley said as she took down the beeps and spelled the letters out. S.O.S.D.E.C.A.
"S.O.S.D.E.C.A.?", Andros asked.
Ashley thought about it for a minute. "If I didn't know any better I'd swear it came from D.E.C.A. But she was destroyed in the Astro Megaship when they faced the Scorpion Stinger."
Andros then had a thought, "You know it could be D.E.C.A. The log buoy is equipped to handle D.E.C.A.'s program in case the Astro Megaship is in danger of being destroyed."
Ashley then went to the comm terminal. "D.E.C.A. is that you? If you can hear us beep one for 'yes' and two for 'no'.
The beep over the comm line came one time.
Andros then asked, "D.E.C.A., are you damaged in any way?" The beep came back once.
"Where's the damage? Computer functions?", the beep came back twice.
"Thrusters?", the beep came back affirmative.
"Are you anywhere near Mirinoi?", Ashley asked. The beeps came back twice.
"Have you been captured?", Andros asked. The beep came back once.
"Has your captor accessed any ranger secrets from the buoy?", was Andros's next question. Fortunately D.E.C.A. beeped back twice. Andros and Ashley sighed with relief.
"Do you know what planet you are on?", Ashley asked. D.E.C.A. beeped an affirmative.
"Spell it out, we'll be there as soon as we can.", Andros said. D.E.C.A. spelled out the name of the place of her captivity:D.I.O.N.Y.S.U.S.
"The Dionysus Space Platform?", Andros asked. An affirmative beep was his answer.
"Let's get over there.", Ashley said as she and Andros made their way to Defiance.
Andros and Ashley made their way to Defiance as it was parked in the hangar deck. Ashley took the pilot's seat, with Andros seated on engineering. "Have you got the co-ordinates laid in?", Andros asked.
Ashley, who had a rapport with the Hardrive computer inputed the co-ordinates for the platform into the computer. "All set.", she said.
Hardrive then said, "It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."
"Hit it.", Ashley said completing the line from the movie The Blues Brothers. And Defiance took to the stars, enroute for Dionysus.
"How can D.E.C.A. still be alive?", Ashley asked. "I thought she was destroyed when the Megaship blew up."
"There are two destruct sequences built into the Astro Megaship. One is your basic self-destruct and the second is called Nova Destruct.", Andros explained.
Ashley was still confused so Andros explained further. "Nova Destruct is only used in extreme emergencies involving powerful enemies. The fuel bottles are brought together without the use of an intermix chamber. When the explosion detonates..."
"The effect is like a supernova. An explosion as bright as the sun.", Ashley completed. "What's the second destruct sequence?"
"The second is regular self-destruct, and is used while in planetary orbit or in close quarters with another ship. The fuel bottles are launched on a last second course by D.E.C.A. and charges are detonated throughout the megaship. Also launched is a log buoy that keeps the records of the last battle the megaship was in. D.E.C.A. can download herself into the buoy before the megaship destroys itself, and launch before the detonation.
"She usually orbits the nearest planet waiting for retrieval, but when we reached Mirinoi to fight Harper, I didn't see the buoy anywhere on sensors. And when I heard the megaship was destroyed I assumed D.E.C.A. was destroyed as well."
"But she's not.", Ashley said.
"No, and we have to find her.", Andros said. "And whoever took her."
Ashley was left breathless at the sight of the Dionysus Space platform. The architecture and lights conveyed a sense of artistry that the platform was well known for.
"We've got docking clearence. Let's take her in.", Andros said. Ashley then guided Defiance into an open hangar bay and set the massive carrierzord down. When Ashley got out of the pilot seat she asked Hardrive if he wanted anything.
"I'd like a trashbag please, if you have one. I really could use a trashbag.", said the carrierzord computer. Andros was confused.
"He's saying he'd like a waste recycler.", Ashley explained. "He's just saying it like the character of Howling Mad Murdoch form the A-Team."
Andros was even more confused. "I wish Zhane was here. He could understand that computer if I could only pry him from the T.V."
Ashley couldn't help but chuckle, but Andros said "Don't laugh. Now he's got Karone hooked on it. It seems like I can't pry her away from the daytime soaps on Earth."
Ashley then let the subject drop as she and her husband left Defiance for the Dionysus platform.
Ashley was awestruck as she took in all the sights the station's promenade had to offer. She had lost count of how many art galleries, street performers, musicians, theatre spaces, speakers podiums, and novelty shops that she had seen. Andros however was all business as he was looking for a contact that would hopefully lead him to the down below section that housed the platform's more 'under the table' dealings.
Just then a voice echoed throughout the hall. A voice Ashley couldn't help to find familiar. She entered a hall with people rallying behind a speaker addressing the crowd.
Ashley recognized the speaker. "Vincent Kincaid? What's he doing here?"
"Who's Vincent Kincaid?", Andros asked.
"He's Jeff Kincaid's father.", Ashley explained. "He was swindling people on Iocaste with a tent revival meeting when he met up with Kincaid. Vincent decided to turn his son over to Crucible to get in his good graces. The other Nightfighters rallied to rescue him. It was also when I got my BlackGold morpher."
"A father betrayed his own son? That's despicable.", Andros said making no attempt to hide his disgust.
"I know. I wonder what he's doing here though.", Ashley asked as she and Andros listened to Vincent speak.
"Sinners, that's what we are. We have all sinned, some more grave than others."
You got that right, Ashley thought, but listened as Vincent continued speaking.
"I myself have sinned greatly. I fell under the control of an evil monarch who ordered me to deliver my own son to him so he could kill him. My son was ultimately freed but my sin cut deep into my soul.
"Then someone came and offered me redemption. Redemption to go out and perform so much good in the universe in the service of the higher power. Saving me with his teachings and his words. Enlightening me that we are all one. That we should not make zeroes in our journey through life. That we should all help one another, give for one another.
"That's why I come to you today to give what you can, help build a foundation for those who can't help themselves. Your credits can build a future." Soon everyone had their wallets or credit chips out ready to give what they had to Vincent Kincaid.
Ashley snapped out of the empathetic trance as she remembered everything that Kincaid's father was capable of. She looked on in disgust at Vincent as the people rallied to give them what was probably most of their life savings. After shaking Andros out of the trance she said, "Andros I think we found our way in."
"In to where?", he asked the effects of Vincent's speech hitting him hard.
"We've got to get you out of here.", she said as she led him back to Defiance.
"I can't explain it. It was like I was empathizing with everything he had said. His speech wasn't even all that great.", Andros said.
"I know, I heard one of his speeches before on Iocaste. He's not all that charismatic.", Ashley said handing Andros a glass of water.
"He must be getting some sort of power from somewhere. I've heard of someone called 'The Power Broker' who operates in these parts."
"The Power Broker?", Ashley asked.
"He finds super powers, synthesizes them, and sells them to the highest bidder." After saying that Andros paused. "Who may be the person who has the log buoy. The buoy is said to contain the specs for ranger powers. The Power Broker could make a fortune selling those."
"Now hold on Andros. It may be possible that this Power Broker doesn't have the log buoy."
"I know Ashley, but it's a possibility we can't disregard. Besides, even if he doesn't he might know who does."
Ashley sighed. "Looks like I'll be paying Vincent another visit."
Andros got up. "Are you sure you can handle him? His empathic power is great."
Ashley turned and said, "I've had prior experience with him. I just need to keep reminding myself what a sleaze he is and I'll be fine. You can go after the Power Broker once Vincent tells me where he is.
"Besides, Jeff promised Vincent that he would wreck his father's world. Since Jeff's not here, it falls to me to do that." Ashley then left Defiance to confront Vincent Kincaid.
Vincent was in his quarters counting out all the credits before him. Most of the credits would not go to helping others as he spoke, but rather to fill his own pocket. Sure he would contribute some to helping the unfortunate, about one or two. 'The best lies come from the truth.', was the old saying that came to his mind.
These empathy powers I bought are great. I can literally beg those rubes to give me more money, he thought as he continued to count his newly aquired cash. A door then opened up and an unsavory lowlife entered the room.
"Boss!! There's someone here to see ya.", the lowlife said. Vincent asked who it was when a young woman with chestnut brown hair kicked the door down as she entered the room.
"Hello Vince! I think you remember me. I'm a friend of your son.", Ashley said as she had her blaster ready at her side. Vincent tried to reach for his own weapon but shot his hand before he could reach it.
"Naughty, Naughty.", she said as she approached the seated schyster. "Now, I just happened to catch your performance today. You really had me feeling for you."
Ashley grabbed Vincent's collar and pulled him forward to her face. "I heard you got some sort of empathy power from the Power Broker. Where do I find him?"
Vincent remained silent but Ashley took notice of the way his eyes wandered towards a series of bottles on the table. Ashley reached over and grabbed them. She let go of Vincent to study the bottles better. When Vincent tried to lunge for them Ashley kicked him where the sun doesn't shine.
"I'm willing to hazzard a guess that this is the source of this newfound effect you have with your audiences.", Ashley said holding one bottle. And I'll bet you'd love to have it back wouldn't you?"
Vincent nodded. "Then tell me where the Power Broker is.", Ashley commanded.
Vincent swallowed and said, "Level 42, section H. The section known as the gutter."
Ashley smiled a shark's smile as she set down the bottles of liquid empathy. "Thank you. Do you have a trash bag?"
Vincent was confused. "A trash bag?"
"Yes, I just want to make sure that your funds go to those unfortunate souls seeking redemption as you so said." Ashley started twirling the gun emphasizing that she would fire it if she didn't get her trash bag. Vincent managed to find one and Ashley ordered him to put all the money he had into the bag. Vincent complied.
"Thank you it was a pleasure doing business with you." Ashley then turned around and started to walk out of Vincent's office. Vincent was mentally cursing Ashley's name as he started to reach for his power drink.
"Oh by the way.", Ashley said as she turned around. "Your son promised that he was going to wreck your world. Since he's not here..." Ashley raised her blaster and shot the bottles of empathy formula the Power Broker provided for him.
"I guess I'll just have to wreck your world for him." Ashley turned and walked out leaving the ruined empathy formula on Vincent's desk with Vincent sobbing over the loss of it.
Ashley then gave Andros the information and he made his way down to level 42. The Power Broker was inside hooking up some sort of computer to what appeared to be D.E.C.A.'s I/O port. He's getting ready to scan D.E.C.A.'s memory., Andros thought. I've got to stop him.
Andros then entered a 3-5-2 code before morhing. "LET'S ROCKET!!!", he said and Andros punched in his 3-3-5 code and morphed into his red ranger costume. He then entered the Power Broker's lair with the spiral saber at the ready. The Power Broker tried to remain calm and collected at the sight of Andros pointing his weapon.
"Uhh...to what pleasure do I have of having a power ranger grace my establishment?", the Power Broker asked.
"I'm here to take back what belongs to the Power Rangers. Namely D.E.C.A.'s log buoy.", Andros said.
"Ahh, but you see this wasn't turned in by the Power Rangers. It was turned in by a customer who used it as payment."
Andros kept his Spiral Saber level. "Yeah, I know Vincent Kincaid. He's nothing more than a two bit hood who wants money and doesn't care who he betrays to get it. And don't think I don't know what you're planning. You have been trying to get a hold of ranger powers for years so you could sell them to the highest bidder. I can't let you do that."
The Power Broker smiled a wicked smile. "You know I can't let you stop me.", and with that the broker activated a control by his side and a force field encircled Andros. Andros raised the saber to the ceiling and blasted the eminator where the force field came from. The force field went down quickly.
Unfortunately the field was a distraction, because when Andros returned to face the broker he had charged at a super speed behind Andros and attacked him from behind giving him a series of beatings at super speed as well. The Power Broker then faced Andros again and flew towards him impacting on Andros's chest sending him sprawling.
Next thing the Power Broker demonstrated was superstrength as he lifted Andros high up and threw him across the room. When Andros struggled to get up the Broker stepped on Andros's hand. Andros had force demorphed and the Broker reached up to grab the red Astro morpher.
"Now I have a ranger morpher I can sell after I study it with the help of your computer.", the Broker gloated. Perfect, he swallowed the bait, Andros thought.
"No way am I letting you go with that.", Andros said.
"Hah, I'd like to see you try to stop me.", the Broker said as he looked over the morpher. Red energy then erupted from the morpher shocking his system.
Andros then picked up the morpher and said, "I told you there was no way I was letting you go with that." Ashley then walked in and kissed her husband.
"You ready to blow this joint?", Andros asked.
"Am I ever!.", Ashley said as she and Andros went over to D.E.C.A.'s log buoy.
"D.E.C.A. is your program intact?", Andros asked. D.E.C.A. beeped an affirmative.
"Let's get out of here before he comes to.", Ashley said making reference to the Power Broker lying near them. And Andros and Ashley activated their teleporters to head back to Defiance.
On board Defiance Andros secured the log buoy carrying D.E.C.A. for transport. "We'll take it back to Hades and download D.E.C.A. into the new megaship."
"Uhh gee, Andros do we have to leave right away?", Ashley asked. "I hear there are a lot of things to do here."
Andros was intrigued to say the least. "Such as?"
"Well you know, there are some marvelous plays being performed here. And a few art exibits."
"And the honeymoon suites are supposed to be top notch in the quadrant.", Andros stated.
"Ohh I love the way you think.", Ashley said as she and Andros made out their reservations.
Back on Earth Kincaid was busy fighting both his fiancee' Mackenzie Dekalb and new student Morgan St. Clair in a Triple Threat shootfight. The three were beating each other senseless but no one was getting the submission, because the other would break it up, and all three had too much pride to say that they quit too quickly.
Morgan caught Kincaid's arm as he threw a punch. Morgan then twisted Kincaid's arm as she threw a sidekick into his ribs. With Kincaid doubled over Morgan then jumped up until her legs were on the back of his neck then she brought her whole body weight down on the neck sending Kincaid's body crashing to the floor. But as Morgan got up, Mackenzie then launched a series of kicks and punches at her.
Ouch, this girl is as brutal as Kincaid, Morgan thought as she was fighting. What did I do to upset her?
She is a White Astro Ranger, said the voice of White Comet in Morgan's mind. She may sense the White Turbo powers within you and know that you are being coerced into using then for evil, and her subconscious is telling her so.
Does she listen to her subconscious often? , Morgan asked. 'Cause I'm really taking a pounding here. She wasn't sure if she heard Comet's answer as a punch to her head from Mackenzie sent Morgan spinning.
Kincaid then came back in and had Morgan in a sleeper hold and signalled for the "I give". Kincaid won the Triple Threat. Kincaid and Mackenzie then celebrated their victory when he noticed something about his fiancee' that seemed off. "What's wrong?", Kincaid asked.
"It's that new girl Morgan. Ever since she got here I've had this weird feeling, that there's something wrong with her but can't quite place."
"Maybe the power is telling you that the two of you were twin sisters in a past life or something and she took you're favorite dolly." Mackenzie cast a 'yeah right' look and went to check on Morgan.
"Are you all right? Sorry about the double team.", Kincaid said as Morgan stood up
"No problem, I like intense workouts.", Morgan said. She then found her eyes locking with Mackenzie's. She senses something., Morgan thought when Boiling Hot Brian Austin came out of the main office.
"Hey guys, Andros and Ashley are calling.", Boiling Hot said as Kincaid and Mackenzie went to the viewphone. Morgan followed close behind out of view. Kincaid looked at the screen.
"Andros, Ashley how's your honeymoon?", Kincaid asked.
"Great Kincaid.", Andros said. "Already Defiance has taken us to some interesting places, and Ashley and I have had some interesting experiences."
"Interesting experiences huh?", Mackenzie said. "Anything you can talk about over the phone?"
"Well...", Ashley said trying to choose her words carefully. "We did run into your father Kincaid."
Kincaid was surprised to say the least. "Where was he and what was he doing there?"
"The usual. Robbing the poor to feed himself. Vincent had some information about where D.E.C.A.'s log buoy was and Andros facillitated a rescue."
"And Vincent?", Kincaid asked.
"Since you weren't here to wreck his world I took the liberty. We also distributed the cash he received to as many charities as we could find on our way to Hades.", Ashley said. "We're at the mobile safehouse now finishing the new megaship that was in storage. We're going to download D.E.C.A. as soon as we can."
"So we'll see you in about a month.", Kincaid said. Ashley and Andros nodded.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do.", Mackenzie said then the connection broke with Ashley and Andros chuckling at Mackenzie's remark. Morgan stood by the door looking in.
So Ashley will be back in a month huh? Hopefully I'll be gone again., Morgan thought. Her eyes started to wander towards the door when a young hispanic man had walked in and took off his coat. A young woman with brown hair put her coat next to the rack where her companion's had been. Morgan took a look at the young man coming in and couldn't believe who she saw.
"Carlos?", she whispered. Morgan then remembered seeing the woman in the ranger archives and mission files. She knew the woman as Kimberly Hart, the first Pink Ranger.
What are Carlos and Kinberly doing togehter?, Morgan asked herself. Morgan's thoughts then wandered to where she remembered what Lord Stygian said. You are unique, he said.
Comet, maybe it's time I find out how unique I really am.
The Power Broker flew his ship through space until he set down on Lucifer six. He had been given a series of co-ordinates by way of telepathy, and followed with the guarantee that there will be more powers for him to synthesize and sell for the highest bidder.
The Broker set his ship down and disembarked from his ship. He then found a structure that eminated a light source, and the Broker entered. What he saw on the other side, scared him as he saw a figure with a sinister aura around him, seated in a throne watching swirling universes go buy. The throne then turned around and took notice of the incoming Broker.
"I have been expecting you.", Stygian said. "My mind is in yours."
The Broker got on one knee and said "Yes my master."
