2 days after the attack
"I thought she was dead." said Andros in the Dark room with his friends.
TJ walks up behind him and says, "We all did Andros!"
"Andros are you sure you want to do this?" asked Zhane worriedly. "I mean we have to save her yes, but why don't I fight the monster and bring back Cassie."
"NO! I will do it. I want to be the one to save her I mean am the one that got her killed or almost killed." said Andros feeling guilty.
"Ok then. D.E.C.A. when will we be over the planet Ireion?" asked Zhane to the ships Super Computer.
"In just about 15 minutes." said D.E.C.A.
"Thank you D.E.C.A." said Zhane looking back at his friend nervously.
"Zhane i'll be fine." said Andros trying to confert his friend.
Zhane looks into his friends eyes and sees Andros' uncertenty about what he had just said but just ignored it thinkin it will only distract him in battle knowing that his friend new.
"Ok," he finally said. "Just be carefull. And for heavens sake bring Cassie back ALIIVE!"
"I will." promised Andros he knew he would bring Cassie back or somehow get her back to the ship if something had happendto him.
"We are now over the planet Ireion." said D.E.C.A.
"Thanks D.E.C.A. Well i'll see you guys in a few hours." said Andros looking back at his friends as he began to leave the ship threw the Exit Bay.
"Andros Wait!" yelled Ashley running up to him before he could leave.
Andros turned to see Ashley rushing up to him in his arms crying and saying "Andros Im so sorry for getting you all upset! Trying to pry in your buisness but I was just trying to help cause I love you! Your like my brother he brother I never had and It pains me to see you hurting tha I acctually hurt to. I'm Sorry. I'm Sorry. I'm Sorry. Please forgive me!" she begged crying into his shoulder. He was shocked he hadn't known and he felt bad cause he yelled at her for trying to help and comfert him.
"Ashley." he finally said. "It's OK! Really I was the one beining a jerk. You are only trying to help and I thank you for that. Im the one who sould be apoligysing..."
Ashely stepped back wipping her tears as she did she felt better she looked into his eyes as he continued.
"I also love you like a sister your on of my closest friends. I admit I did have a crush on you but that changed. I found that their was just something about her and we have so much in commen. She amazing and beautiful inside and out. Im sorry I wish I could say differently but that is just how it is. But I do love you and I always will." he said lookig away.
"I understand how you feel I had that happen to me as well loed one guy one minute the another the next. To be honest I'm happy for you and Cassie. She has had a lot of heartbreak over the Phantom Ranger and I'm glad I saw she was happy the last month I saw her a month ago. You make her happy and forget her problems a she does for you. Now go save Cassie!" said Ashley approvingly.
"Thanks Ash." he said Exiting the ship.
*********** A few minutes later on Ireion ***********
"So I see you've desided to come and fight." said the monster as Andros jumped to the ground from his Galaxy Glider.
"Of course I came. Now were is SHE!" yelled Andros at the monster.
"Calm down Ranger she's here as promised." said the monster looking to the far right. And sure enough there was Cassie unconsious in the dirt chaned to a pole forced in a sitting position outside the rink.
Andros got mad at this site. How could anyone do this to a weak inoccent person esspecially Cassie?
"Do you want to fight or not?" asked the monster looking at Andros.
"Of course I want to fight!" said Andros charging at the monster with his sword. The monster was quick to act and jumped out of the way but as he did so Andros slashed the monster in the stomach. The monster yellped in pain at the unsuspected counter attack.
The monster tried to grab Andros and throw him across the rink but Andros kicked the monster in the head. Suddely Andros heard Cassie grown he looked over to see her eyes open but just barely and yelled "CASSIE!" and tried to run to her but the monster grabed him and threw him to the ground ad stepped on his chest. As Andros tried to gasp for breath the monster shot a glance at Cassie thinking he could just destroy her for fun to hurt Andros.
Andros saw this and grabed the monster did a spin on the ground and kicked the monster foot which made it fall to the ground.
"Hey!" yelled the monster. "NOT fair!"
"It's never fair in war. All's fair in love and War." he said cockaliy.
The monster glared at him he saw the pink ranger move from the corner of his eye, and got an evil thought. As soon as Andros attacked next he would run and grab the girl. He would treaten to kill her if he made another move on him.
So as Andros got ready to attack yet agin the monster ran for Cassie, but Andros saw him and him being thinner and smaller and faster than the monster he stood in the way of the monster before he could even leave the rink to get Cassie. The monster growled and tried to minouver around Andros but Andros stood in front of him yet again. Then Andros kicked him back farther into the rink as far away from Cassie as he could. The monster landed with a thud and grunted in pain. Andros smiled happiely at his, knowing the fight was nearing its end and HE was winning.
Just then he heard a scream it was Cassie. The monster had somehow maneged to send a poison dart (his fingernails) into Cassie's chest. He saw she was in pain and heard the monster laughing happiely at her pain. Andros lost it seeing Cassie in pain and being poisoned when she was already dying. while also hearing the monste laughing at her enjoying and absorbing the sight and screams coming form her. He saw Cassie was growig weaker and weaker each second and noticed her screams were getting softer and shorter, she was slowly and painfully dying. He grabed his weapon and charged it to full power and charged at the monster while he was watching Cassie and stabed him in the chest. He backed away and heard the monster explode he waited one minute waiting to see if it would grow but it didn't si he ran to Cassie and examend her wounds. Cassie was unconsious agian by the time monster went down.
He scopped her up in his arms after he released her from the chains holding her too the post and called his Galaxy Glider and hopped on with Cassie in his arms.A moment later he was unmorphed on the ship Cassie still in his arms. He quickly ran her to the Emergency Bay were everyone was already waiting to help Cassie. He set her down on the medical table and asked if there was anything he could do but there was nothing he could do except watch as his girlfriend his true love fight for her life and struggle with everyone while still unconsoius. She was still in pain and the poison was still in her.
Finally Alpha said "Andros get an cedative to help Cassie calm down and wont feel the pain. Also I think we have a wide range of poison antidots we sould take a sample of Cassie's blood and let D.E.C.A. test it to see if we have the right one and how much we sould give her."
Andros ran to the cabent and got the Cedative and also a needle to draw the blood. He ran back to Alpha and gave him the medican and needle. Quickly Alhpa put the Cedative into Cassie's IV and drew her blood he gave it to Carlos who ran it to the lab where D.E.C.A. would prossec it. She found out that they did have the antidote and 1 miligram of it would cure her. But just the poison the other stuff would need to be handled differently. Andros ran and got the antidote and gave it to Alpha who administered it into Cassie's IV. She would be fine now for the most part.
She would need a cast on her left arm and right leg. She broke three ribs and spraned her left foot. Her right hand was swollen and bruised from the conditions on Astronima's ship. She would need to eat and drink a whole lot when she wakes up but until then she is feed by the IV. Andros stayed by her side the rest of the night and new he would be there for a LONG time. But would be there for as long as it takes.
