Chapter 4
[See Part 1 for Disclaimer.]
"Ok, I've made the force field weaker so you can get in there
and bring them out," Billy explained, "I don't want you to save
my sister, let her save herself," he added with hatred in his voice.
Rocky sighed, "Alright, we won't,"
"Good, I'll teleport you three in there after your morph. Whatever
you do don't power down, the force field will keep you from morphing again,"
"It's morphin time!" Tommy called out.
"Zeo Ranger III Blue!" Rocky yelled.
"Zeo Ranger IV Green," Adam stated.
"Zeo Ranger V Red!" Tommy finished.
The three where instantly cloaked in a red, green and blue spandexy material.
Helmets now covered there faces.
"Ready?" asked Billy.
"Ready!" confirmed the three.
There disgruntled friend Billy pushed some buttons on the control panel
and blue, green and red streaks of light flew out of the Power Chamber
into Ashley's house.
************************************************************************
When they landed in the living room of her house there was an eerie silence
in the air. Rocky spotted Kat laying on the floor by the wall.
"Hey guys, over here," he whispered to his friends, "I found
Kat,"
Tommy took Kats helmet off and checked to see if she was still breathing.
Just barely. "She's still alive, I have to get her to the Power Chamber,"
"OK, you go ahead. Adam and I will continue to look for Tanya and
Ashley,"
And with that Tommy was gone. He wasn't going to tell Billy that they were
attempting to save Tanya and Ashley.
"Wake up my child," came a calm, soothing voice.
Ashleys eyes fluttered open. She looked up and saw a handsome young man
standing over her, stroking her cheek. The look in his eyes frightened
her so. She sat up and quickly moved away.
"Do not be afraid. I will not harm," he said reaching down for
her hand.
Slowly Ashley reached up with her hand. The stranger pulled Ashley up off
her bed. A relaxed feeling flowed thru her body. She didn't know whether
to kill him or kiss him, be afraid of him or trust him, run away or stay
right there.
Why can't I think straight, it's like he's controling my thoughts, my emotions,
me. This scared her and she tried to pull away from him, but she couldn't
get out of the hold he had on her.
She is much stronger then I thought. It will take a lot of effort to get
her to trust me. But once I succeed nothing will stop me! He pulled Ashley
close to him and tightened his grip, enjoying the warmth of her body.
"There, there now. Everything will be alright. You'll see," adding
to himself for me anyway once I'm done with you you'll be sent to King
Mondo and then possibly killed, if not that then drained of your essence
and brainwashed. Maybe if I'm lucky he'll give me to you, to do as I will.
He smiled at this thought.
Downstairs in the kitchen Rocky and Adam continued to look for Ashley and
Tanya.
"Maybe if I yell to her, she'll hear me and answer," Rocky quietly
said to his friend.
"Yeah and maybe some cogs will show up instead,"
"We have to try. So whats a few cogs, we can take them,"
"I suppose your right,"
"Ashley! Tanya!"
"Tanya! Where are you!? Ashley!"
"Oh man I just remembered. Ashley doesn't talk!"
The demons thoughts were interuppted by Rocky and Adams yelling to their
friends. "King Mondo, send down some cogs. Those two are getting too
close and the girls not fully under my power yet,"
*********************************************************************
"Adam behind you!" Rocky yelled as three cogs leapt at Adam knocking
him over. Rocky ran over and started kicking the mechanical misfits off
of him, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, lets take these metal heads!" Adam exclaimed, charging
into two of the cogs head on and slamming them to the wall. They fell apart
and landed in a pile on the floor.
Rocky sweep kicked a cog which fell over on another one. "The domino
effect really does work,"
Suddenly a cog went flying past Rockys head. He turned to see Tommy standing
behind him.
"Thought you guys could use some help," he said while annoyingly
pushing a cog to floor.
"Yeah thanks," Rocky answered distractedly.
The cogs soon were gone and the three rangers started their search once
more. Adam heard a noise coming from upstairs and motioned to his friends
to come over.
"Let's check out whats up there," Adam whispered.
"Right," Tommy and Rocky said at the same time quietly.
With Adam in the lead, our heros crept up the stairs as quiet as possible.
The green zeo ranger suddenly came to a halt. In his path laying on the
stairs was Tanya.
"Tanya," Adam gasped. He reached down and checked for a pulse,
"she's still alive but just barely," he reached down and picked
her up adding, "I'm bringing her back to the Power Chamber. I'll try
and stall Billy........"
************************************************************************
"What do you mean there going after her!?!" Billy yelled out.
"Billy, there's nothing you can do! They are going to save Ashley
and that's final! You can't stop them," Adam reasoned.
"Billy, he's right. You must stop this foolishness at once,"
Zordon bellowed.
"Zordon, you don't understand. She's..........."
"BILLY........." Zordon boomed, firmly.
"Alright," he sighed.
********************************************************************
"Ashley," the demon hissed in her ear.
She shuddered, a sharp, tingling pain went up her back and paralyzed her
panic stricken body with fear. Ashley struggled to get loose.
"It's no use my dear............ there's no way out,"
"Let her go you creep!" a voice yelled from behind.
The demon swung around still holding Ashley close to him, "It's no
use mortal, she can't be saved.........."
Thats what you think. Blue and Red Zeo Rangers help me. Please! Ashley
pleaded in her thoughts. Come on, I know you can hear me. Can't control
thoughts... must fight.
"Ashley....." Rocky whispered.
