Power Rangers: Lion Force
Episode 28
“Galaxy Force: Part 2: A Fallen Leader”
By DinoBot
Setting: Downtown Terra Venture
Commander Porter, now wearing civilian clothes, walks down the high street. He has a scanner in his hands and keeps checking the readout.
Commander Porter: C’mon, I know you’re around here somewhere...
Right on cue, purple smoke drifts down the street and Viperia takes on her humanoid form.
Viperia: WHERE ARE YOU? COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF LIKE THE MAN YOU PRETENDED TO BE...
Setting: LionStar – Bridge
FireStorm and Drax watch the view screen as Viperia stands in the middle of the street.
Drax: Contact the other Rangers, let them know to stay out of this one, I’ll handle it
FireStorm: No problem...
Drax gets up and leaves the bridge. RaptorCon is sat at the helm, his head resting on the controls. He still looks like crap.
RaptorCon: I feel like my bowels are trying to emigrate
FireStorm: You should go to bed and rest
RaptorCon tires to sit up, but he just groans and rests his head on the helm, acts like he’s going to heave at any moment.
RaptorCon: Can’t rest, you guys need me
FireStorm: You’re no good to us if you’re puking up all over the ship
RaptorCon doesn’t answer, he just groans loudly.
Setting: Downtown Terra Venture
Red Lion Force Ranger lands on the opposite side of the street to Viperia.
Red Lion Force Ranger: Ok, tell me who you are looking for and I’ll try to help you find him
Viperia: YOU’RE HIDING HIM SO YOU’RE AS BAD AS HE IS
As Viperia is about to attack, she is struck by a beam of red energy that pushes her away from Red Lion Force Ranger.
Galaxy Red: Ok, that’s enough from you vile monster
Viperia: WHO ARE YOU CALLING VILE?
Galaxy Red steps out of the shadows and into the light.
Red Lion Force Ranger: Another Power Ranger?
Galaxy Red stands tall; the sun glinting of his armor. His Armor is made out of a futuristic metal, that totally encased his body. His armor is solid red in color, with the exception of their boots and gloves, they were black with silver trimmings around the edge. Strapped to his back is a ninja sword in a black scabbard. His helmet is solid red, save for his visor, which is jet black.
Galaxy Red: This is the end of the road for you, monster
Galaxy Red draws his sword and advances towards Viperia.
Viperia: So he’s recruited you to stop me, well no matter, I’LL TAKE YOU BOTH DOWN...
She extends her hoses which glow with a purple energy, the energy fades away, revealing two swords.
Galaxy Red: Double team?
Red Lion Force Ranger: You’re on...
Setting: LionStar - Bridge
FireStorm watches as Galaxy red and Red Lion Force Ranger battle Viperia. At the rear of the bridge, RaptorCon groans gently, still looking like crap. The doors slide open and Venomina steps onto the bridge and moves to the helm.
Venomina: What the hell is going on?
FireStorm: If you’re referring to our visitor, he just showed up and I have no idea who he is
Setting: Downtown Terra Venture
The two Red Rangers are fighting as well as they can against Viperia, but the insane female monster is just to much for them to handle.
Galaxy Red: Shouldn’t you call for the rest of your team?
Galaxy Red ducks out of the way as Viperia swings her left sword, it misses him but slams into Red Lion Force Ranger, causing a jet of sparks to erupt from his damaged armour.
Red Lion Force Ranger: I can manage without them...
FireStorm: Keep at it, Drax, lad! Help's at hand
Firestorm warp in, he ducks down and sweeps his tail around, knocking Viperia off her feet. She counters by kicking FireStorm in the chest, knocking him back, she jumps to her feet and attacks him with a furious blur of punches and kicks.
Viperia: WHERE IS HE? HE WILL PAY FOR WHAT HE DID TO ME...
FireStorm: Not that I’m complaining, but will you two GET OVER HERE AND HELP
Galaxy Red and Red Lion Force Ranger charge at Viperia. Galaxy red grabs her legs while Red Lion Force Ranger and FireStorm try to hold her arms steady. Try as they might, the three of them are no match for the insane female monster. She throws FireStorm and red Lion Force Ranger away, then kicks Galaxy Red over to them.
Viperia: You work to protect him, so you’ll DIE like he will...
She transforms her swords back to the hoses and aims them at the three fallen fighters.
Setting: LionStar – Bridge
RaptorCon crawls to the helm as the scanner beeps insistently.
RaptorCon:(Weakly) Computer... what... is going... on?
Computer: Transwarp wormhole detected in Grid Lahana
RaptorCon:(Weakly) Did... a ship... emerge?
Computer: Affirmative, one ship detected, scanners logged the ship as registered to Xard
RaptorCon:(Weakly) Lock on all... weapons and KILL HIM
Computer: Unable to comply, Xard’s ship has entered the atmosphere
RaptorCon:(Weakly) Slag...
Setting: Downtown Terra Venture
Viperia is spraying FireStorm, Red Lion Force Ranger and Galaxy Red with purple gas, slowly chocking them. She is so caught up with what she is doing she doesn’t see Xard creeping up behind her.
Xard: No you don’t Viperia
She whirls around and comes face to face with Xard
Viperia: YOU...
She screams and charges at Xard, only to be knocked to the ground by a swift right hook from Venomina.
Venomina: I never thought I’d have to do that again...
Venomina walks up to Xard and slaps him as hard as she can, knocking him back a few steps.
Venomina: That is for what you did to my sister. It’s your fault she’s like this...
Xard: It wasn’t like...
Venomina: IT DOESEN’T MATTER WHAT IT WAS LIKE
She turns away from him in disgust and moves to help the others up
Venomina: I you'd be getting whooped by my sister, she is freakishly strong
Red Lion Force Ranger Hey, I wasn't worried for a micro-second
Venomina:(Enjoying Letting Him Have It) Then you probably didn't understand the situation.
Red Lion Force Ranger de-morphs into Drax, who moves over to his brother.
Drax: What the FRAG are you doing here?
Xard: I came to help...
FireStorm: A likely story....
Xard: It’s true I tell you, I came here to help you and to sort things out with Viperia
FireStorm: I say we sic RaptorCon on him...
Galaxy Red: What will that accomplish?
FireStorm: It will accomplish nothing, but it will be fun to see Xard get ripped to shreds...
Galaxy Red de-morphs into Commander Porter.
Commander Porter: Ok, we’ve got the female monster contains, now I need to speak to you all
Drax: Ok, let’s head back to the Lion Star.
Venomina: I’ll take Viperia to the LionStar’s sick bay and sedate her
Drax: And for your own sake Xard, stay away from RaptorCon
Xard tries to say something but it is lost as they are all snatched away by the teleporters
Setting: LionStar – Bridge
The teleporter deposits them on the bridge, Venomina is absent.
RaptorCon:(Weakly) Where’s Venomina?
Drax: She was diverted to the medical bay, to sedate her sister...
RaptorCon looks up and stares directly at Xard with a look of incredulousness, anger and sheer contempt.
RaptorCon:(Weakly) be glad that I am... unwell or I would... have ripped your heart out...
RaptorCon stands up and moves to the rear of the bridge.
RaptorCon:(Weakly) If you need me... Drax, I’ll be in the medical... bay, all of a... sudden, I feel worse
RaptorCon exits the bridge. Drax sits at the helm and puts his feet up on the console.
Drax: So, what do you want to speak to us about?
Commander Porter: What I have to say should be said with the rest of your team present
Drax: If it concerns them I’ll tell them later, now are you gonna talk or just stand there making the bridge look untidy?
For a moment, Commander Porter hesitates, then he leans against the helm.
Commander Porter: I came to Miranoi in the hopes of hiding something here, something that must never be found
FireStorm: Like what?
Commander Porter: A Necrari...
Xard: Necrari? They’re nothing but a myth, designed to scare small children...
Commander Porter: I assure you, they are real
FireStorm: No, they are not real, they’re nothing but a myth, designed to scare small children and you’re an idiot for believing they are real...
Commander Porter takes out a scanning device and hands it to Drax.
Commander Porter: There’s the proof that I have a Necrari on board my ship
Drax studies the scanner then hands it to FireStorm.
Drax: He’s telling the truth, he has one on his ship
FireStorm studies the scanner and growls. He walks over to the science station and inserts the scanner into a connection port.
FireStorm: Computer, verify scanner data and confirm presence of Necrari
Computer: Necrari presence detected and confirmed
FireStorm removes the scanner and tosses it back to Commander Porter.
FireStorm: Ok, you’re telling the truth, but there’s no way in living hell you’re burying that thing on Miranoi
Commander Porter: But...
FireStorm: No buts. If you want to bury it then why don’t you take it somewhere else...
Commander Porter: Where else would you suggest? Miranoi is perfect as it is tucked away in an uninteresting part of the galaxy...
Xard: I agree with the new guy...
Drax: When I want your opinion ‘brother’ be assured, I will GIVE it to you
Xard scowls at Drax as Porter explains.
Commander Porter: The only way to contain a Necrari is with a powerful magic incarnation or to burry them deep underground in a hyper lock chamber
Setting: DarkStar – Bridge
Dameacon studies the view screen before him with interest. It shows a section of open space with Miranoi in the lower left hand side of the screen. Dameacon has one hand resting on the side of his head and his eyes are closed.
Dameacon: I sense a powerful presence, even more powerful than myself...
He opens his eyes and sits up straight in his throne.
Dameacon: Dragantis, load forward weapons and transfer weapons control to me
Dragantis: What are you going to fire at what my lord?
Dameacon: Do as I command...
Dragantis: Yes my lord...
Setting: Space – Miranoi Orbit
Two missiles streak out from the DarkStar and cut their way through space’s silent vacuum. The first missile impacts what appears to be a solid mass of darkness; it is the LionStar MegaShip which shimmers into view as it’s stealth field fails. The second missile slices into the aft section of the ship, causing a massive explosion that tears the ship in two.
Setting: LionStar – Bridge
The view screen flickers to life as the alarms blare out an emergency warning.
Computer: Weapons fire detected, missiles fired from Dameacon’s starship
Drax: What was their target?
Computer: Unidentified ship bearing 121 mark 223
Commander Porter: That’s my ship...
Setting: Space – Miranoi Orbit
The wreckage from the LionStar MegaShip drifts in space. The holding tank floats amidst the wreckage of the LionStar MegaShip. A beam of purple energy stabs out from the DarkStar and envelops the holding tank and begins pulling it towards Dameacon’s starship.
Setting: LionStar – Bridge
The view screen displays the wreckage of the LionStar MegaShip and the tractor beam pulling the holding tank towards Dameacon’s ship.
Commander Porter: We have to stop him
Drax: I agree, computer, lock onto the source of the tractor beam and fire
Computer: Unable to comply, Dameacon has the object within his shield perimeter
Commander Porter: if he opens it, then all hell will literally break loose
Drax: I presume you have security precautions on the holding tank?
Commander Porter: Yes, but I have to get the holding tank back no matter the cost
Drax taps a few controls and brings up a schematic of Dameacon’s ship.
FireStorm: As the saying goes “Only fools, rush in” so let us plan our attack
Setting: LionStar – Medical Bay
Venomina stands beside her unconscious sister while RaptorCon is laid on the other medical bed.
Venomina: When this is all over, I’m gonna tear Xard into 50 pieces and mail him to each state
RaptorCon: Oh no you don’t, I’m first...
Venomina moves to a chair next to a diagnostic console and sits down.
Venomina: I know there is bad blood between you and Xard, so if you don’t mind me asking, what happened between the two of you?
RaptorCon sits up and moves to the edge of the bed.
RaptorCon: What do you want to know? And why do you want to know it?
Venomina: Well, obviously I’d like to know your history with Xard and as for why I want to know, you look as if you want to rip his head off when ever you look at him
RaptorCon: Ok, since you asked, I’ll tell you about my history with Xard, but first, a little history lesson...
Setting: Planet Reptizar – Pegasus Sector
Reptizar hangs in the cold vacuum of space. It is a huge planet, 50 times larger than Earth. It is a green and blue planet with HUGE rings around it, like Saturn has, except WAY bigger. It has six moons, all of them are the size of Earth.
RaptorCon(Narrating): As you may already know, I come from the planet Reptizar, out in the Pegasus sector
Setting: Reptizar – Centurion Space Port
The space port resembles a Terra Venture landing bay but 100 times bigger and more advanced.
RaptorCon(Narrating): Although technologically advanced, my people never left the confines of our solar system.
Venomina(Voice Over): Why not?
RaptorCon(Narrating): Simple, we never needed to. But the council decided it that after hundreds of years wading ankle deep in the vast ocean of space it was finally time to swim.
We see seven exploration ships taking off from the space port. These ships look very reminiscent of the Lion Star. They rise up into the clear sky and zoom off into deep space.
Setting: Deep Space
RaptorCon(Narrating): Ok, this is where it all begins...
We see a Reptazarian exploration ship flying through space.
Setting: Reptazarian Exploration Ship – Bridge
We see a dozen Reptizarians manning the bridge. The officer at the communications station turns to face the commander.
Comm. Officer: Sir, we’re picking up a distress call
Commander Rasp: Location?
Comm. Officer: the call is coming from sector 24, in grid 843, the Arakis system
Commander Rasp: Let’s hear it...
The comm. Officer turns back to his station and works the controls and a few moment later, the comm.. system crackles to life.
Trey(strained as if in pain): This... is Lord Trey... of
the Triforian defence force, to any ship. We... have been attacked by unnamed warships and require... immediate assistance. We have lost transwarp drive... life-support is failing.
Comm. Officer: Voice message has ended, Commander. All I'm receiving now is their automated distress signal.
Commander Rasp: Send the following message to them “This is Commander Rasp of... a Reptazarian starship. We’ll be with you as soon as we can so standby to receive emergency teams.
Setting: Arakis System
As the Reptazarian exploration ship enters the solar system, a battered Triforian pyramid ship limps towards them.
Setting: Triforian Pyramid Ship - Bridge
The bridge has been heavily damaged. Red alert is in effect. crewmen are lying dead on the deck plates or at their consoles. Smoke lingers in the air and burning panels add their own eerie lighting. Slumped in the command chair is Lord Trey, the Gold Ranger. He is injured and barely holding on to consciousness. Four Reptizarians teleport onto the bridge, they are Hiss, the engineer, Slithe, the medical officer and RaptorCon and his younger brother Reptillion, who are the tactical support. Both of them are carrying Machine Blasters. Slithe moves to a crewman lying on the deck, Hiss goes to what's left of the engineering console, and RaptorCon and Reptillion go to Lord Trey.
RaptorCon: Lord Trey, we’re from the Reptazarian exploration ship Venom, we’ve responded to your distress call and our emergency teams are boarding your ship
Lord Trey: (through fog of pain) Your species is unfamiliar to me...
Reptillion: We’re from the planet Reptizar, we’ve only just begun to venture out from our solar system
RaptorCon(Narrating): Besides Lord Trey, there was one other person alive on the bridge, Drax
A rasping of twisted and burnt metal is heard coming from one of the collapsed bulkheads. Hiss moves quickly to the wall and manages to move some of the material with Slithe's help. We see a slightly younger version of Drax.
RaptorCon(Narrating): Drax was onboard the Triforian ship being escorted to Triforia to receive the Red Lion Force Ranger powers
Setting: Reptizar Orbit – Space Station Horizon
We see the Triforian ship safely enclosed within the dry-dock section of the sprawling space station.
Setting: Space Station Horizon – Conference Room
RaptorCon(Narrating): After we had treated Lord Trey’s injuries, he requested a place where he could conduct the ceremony...
Venomina(Voice Over): What ceremony?
RaptorCon(Narrating): The Power Transferee ceremony. The conference room on Horizon was the perfect place to conduct the ceremony.
Lord Trey stands in front of a huge nay window, allowing for a spectacular view of the planet below and the dry-dock to the side. Stood before Lord Trey is Drax, wearing his usual uniform. Sat around the table is RaptorCon, Reptillion, Hiss, Slithe and the Reptazarian President, an aged yet dignified reptile called Yelier.
Trey: Drax, are you ready to receive the power?
Drax: I am
Lord Trey steps forward and raises the golden power staff.
Trey: Prepare to receive the power
Golden energy begins flowing from the staff and around Drax. Soon he is enveloped within a softly glowing golden haze of energy.
Trey: Receive the power Drax, and become the Red Lion force Ranger
The energy flowing from the staff ceases as the energy surrounding Drax slowly turns from gold into a red mist. Trey steps back as the mist fades away, and where Drax once stood, now stands the Red Lion Force Ranger.
RaptorCon(Narrating): This is where Xard comes into it all. After Drax had received the powers, we met Xard...
An alarm blares out a warning while a voice from the comm. System informs everyone of the emergency.
Comm. voice: Alert, someone is attempting to steal the Triforian ship
Reptazarian soldier runs into the room and salutes President Yelier.
Soldier: Sir...
Yelier: I heard. Power up the defences and hail the Triforian ship
Soldier: Aye sir
The soldier moves to a comm. Panel and works the controls as a view screen that is built into the rear wall flickers to life and shows a shot of the Triforian ship sitting in the repair dock. Horizon shakes as the ship tires to tear itself loose from the dock.
Soldier: I’ve got the Triforian ship on-screen
The view screen flickers and displays a shot of the bridge of the Triforian ship, the bridge is at red alert.
Yelier: this is President Yelier of the Reptazarian Command, you will power down and surrender, or we will open fire
There is no answer.
Yelier: Can they hear us?
Soldier: yes sir, they are receiving both audio and visual...
Drax: There’s no one there
Trey: They may be hiding. Can you pan around and check the rest of the bridge
Soldier: Yes
The view screen image rotates to the left, and then to the right. And what it reveals chills RaptorCon to his very core. Laying slumped across the navigation console is a female Reptazarian called Pythona. A few moments later, Xard steps into frame.
Xard: I’m glad you’re all there, I caught this one trying to steal the ship, she became violent so I had to defend myself...
RaptorCon just stares at the view screen in disbelief.
Drax: Is she...
Xard: I’m afraid she is, she came at me with a cyclone blaster
Yelier: A cyclone Blaster, impossible..
Trey: How so?
Yelier: We don’t use Cyclone Blasters, in fact, the first time we saw one was when we healed Drax’ injuries
Drax: That’s right, it was in my left holster
Xard(Getting defensive): I’m telling you, she came at me with a Cyclone Blaster, she would have killed me, so I had to shoot first
Drax: What really happened Xard?
Xard(Getting Angry): You’d believe those slaggin reptiles over your own brother?
Drax: The Reptizarians have treated me well and have given me no reason to distrust them...
RaptorCon: So she didn’t try to kill him?
Drax: No
Xard(Angry): You slaggin traitor Drax, you take their side over mine, for this, you will pay...
Setting: LionStar – Medical Bay
An alarm blares out, interrupting RaptorCon’s story. Drax’s voice erupts from the comm. System.
Drax: We’ve got trouble, get up here
Setting: LionStar - Bridge
RaptorCon and Venomina walk onto the bridge.
Drax: We’ve got trouble
RaptorCon: Like what?
Computer: Massive energy release detected on planet’s surface
RaptorCon: can you be more specific?
Computer: Massive energy release detected on planet’s surface
RaptorCon: What sort of energy release was detected
Computer: A massive energy release...
RaptorCon: I know, you’ve said that, but what sort of energy release was detected?
Computer: Massive energy release detected on planet’s surface
RaptorCon: If you say that one more time I’ll take a piss into your scanner port...
FireStorm runs onto the bridge.
FireStorm: What’s going on? I was in the launch bay when the alarm sounded
Computer: Massive energy release detected on planet’s surface
RaptorCon: Right, that’s it, I warned you...
As RaptorCon moves towards a scanner port, the view screen flickers and shows a monster on the in the Terra Venture industrial sector. The monster is a cross between a vacuum clearer and a humanoid fish.
Drax: Looks like we’ve got work to do
Commander Porter: Contact the rest of your team and have them...
Drax(Interrupting): No, we can handle this ourselves, let’s go newbie
Setting: Terra Venture – Industrial Sector
Salmon Vac: This place will fall before my might...
Two energy beams streak down from the sky and slam into Salmon Vac, knocking the bizarre monster back a few steps. Red Lion Force Ranger descends down from the sky, holding Galaxy Red. He lands with a gentle hiss and lets Galaxy Red go. The two Red Rangers stand side by side.
Salmon Vac: You broke a scale, you are SO gonna pay for that...
Salmon Vac charges at the two Red Rangers.
Setting: LionStar - Bridge
RaptorCon growls as he stares at Xard.
Xard: Ok RaptorCon, if you want to kill me so badly, then just do it and stop staring at me...
RaptorCon Gets up and moves towards Xard, but FireStorm stops him.
FireStorm: Leave him, the little worm is not worth it
RaptorCon: He killed Pythona, and tried to blame Drax, he DESERVES to die...
FireStorm: I don’t doubt it, but now is not the time for revenge. When this fuss is over, THEN you can kill him, ok?
RaptorCon: OK
He turns and heads back to his seat. He growls at Xard and mutters to himself.
RaptorCon: You will pay for taking her from me
Setting: DarkStar – Science Lab
Dameacon and Dragantis watch as two Tank Drones remove the door to the Containment Chamber.
Dameacon: What ever is in here, it possesses a power far greater than anything I have ever seen before
Dragantis: With it’s power, you will be able to crush the Power Rangers and claim this planet for your own
Dameacon:
Setting: Space - Miranoi Orbit
The DarkStar lists badly on it’s port side. fuel is leaking from the engines and explosions pock-mark it’s once gleaming hull. Suddenly, a bright light erupts from the center of the wrecked DarkStar; the light is actually an explosion which vaporises the starship, taking Dameacon’s dead body and those of his generals and countless unused monsters along with him.
Setting: Terra Venture – Industrial Sector
Salmon Vac stumbles backwards. Galaxy Red and Red Lion Force Ranger watch in confusion as the mutant monster stumbles around, holding it’s head as if it were in pain.
Galaxy Red: Did we do that?
Red Lion Force Ranger: Who cares if we did, we’ve got an open shot, let’s take it...
Salmon Vac stumbles back and falls to the ground.
Red Lion Force Ranger fires the Fire Saber at Salmon Vac
Red Lion Force Ranger: FRYING TONIGHT...
The fireball slams into the mutant fish monster, destroying it in an explosion, which leave the scent of fried fish hanging in the air.
Setting: LionStar – Medical Bay
Drax, FireStorm, RaptorCon, Venomina, commander Porter and Xard stand around the unconscious Viperia.
Drax: So, what do we do with her?
Venomina: Simple, we let her and RaptorCon kill your brother
Xard: that’s not very funny
Venomina: I know, I was being serious...
FireStorm: I’ll go warm up the electrodes...
Xard: Now wait a dam minute...
Drax turns and grabs Xard roughly by the collar and slams him up against the wall.
Drax: Listen to me you lying, backstabbing murdering son of a BITCH. You have NO right to complain about ANYTHING they want to do to you, all of which you deserve, now you will get the HELL off my ship and never return again, UNDERSTAND?
He lets Xard go and turns his attention back to Viperia, who is slowly coming around.
Viperia: I saw him... he’s here...
She slowly sits up and looks straight at Xard. A look of love and hurt passes over her.
Viperia: Why Xard? Why did you leave me?
Xard:...
She gets up and moves to him.
Viperia: What ever problems we have, we can work them out...
As she looks at Xard her eyes are filled with tears.
Viperia: How can you be so damn selfish? Don’t you care about what you did to me and how you hurt MY feelings?
Xard: I never intended to hurt you, but I got distracted as I couldn’t deal with being isolated from my only family any longer and I had to deal with it...
Xard looks at Drax, then back at Viperia.
To hell with us being distracted we care about you and I love you
Drax: As a matter of clarification, I don’t love my brother and do not care what happens to him
RaptorCon: I second that motion
Viperia turns to face Drax.
Viperia: Can you not forgive your brother? As they say, time heals all wounds
Drax: After what he did, you must be joking...
RaptorCon: And don’t even think about asking me that question...
Xard: See what I mean, after all this time and they still hold a grudge...
RaptorCon(Angry): GRUDGE, AFTER WHAT YOU DID YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO COMPLAIN THAT WE’RE STILL ANGRY
Drax: I will NEVER forgive him for what he did. EVER
Viperia turns back to Xard and takes his hands in her own.
Viperia: Who needs them as we have each other. Let’s go home and forget about your brothers, his weird friends ands get on with our lives...
Xard looks long and hard into her eyes and eventually realises that despite his problems with his brother and RaptorCon, he is indeed in love with Viperia.
Xard: You’re right, let’s blow this dump and head back on home...
Commander Porter: Where you heading?
Viperia: Sector 843
Commander Porter: If I had my ship, I’d give you a lift...
FireStorm: You can take one of the LionStar Mega Ships from our launch bay if you want
Commander Porter: Are you sure?
RaptorCon: Yes, think of it as a thanks for your help and a thank you for taking crap face away from us
Setting: LionStar – Launch Bay
The group are gathered in the Launch Bay and watch as Viperia and Xard disappear into the LionStar MegaShip.
Commander Porter: One again, thank you for the ship...
Drax: Any time
Commander Porter makes sure Xard and Viperia aren’t within earshot.
Commander Porter: Everything is set and the gates are going to open right on schedule...
Drax: Good
Commander Porter disappears inside the LionStar Megaship.
Setting: Space – Miranoi orbit
The LionStar MegaShip blazes away from the LionStar. It enters Hyper Rush and vanishes from sight.
Setting: Downtown Terra Venture
The afternoon sun shines bright as it rises over the city of New Bethany. The sky is clear blue with a just a few wisps of clouds visible breaking up the monotony of its vastness. People are walking through the streets, moving along and performing their everyday tasks. On the sidewalks, some rush to get to their jobs, while others stroll along the rows of shops and cafes. RaptorCon walks down the high street, drinking cola from a bucket while Drax walks next to him.
Drax: I’m glad Xard has finally slagged off
RaptorCon: Me to, although I did want to kill him, but there’s always next time
Drax: That there is my friend
RaptorCon: Remember that birthday ‘gift’ we got you?
Drax: You mean Kayt?
RaptorCon: Yeah, her. Did you use her?
Drax: No, although the thought crossed my mind
RaptorCon: Well that’s ok then, because it was just a gag gift...
Drax: I teleported her back down to her village and sent a message from the Red Lion Force Ranger saying he can’t accept a reward for helping someone
RaptorCon: So, what’s on the agenda for today?
Drax: Nothing much, I had planned to go down to the river for a swim...
RaptorCon: I suppose you going for a swim has nothing to do with the fact that today is the hottest day of the year and the fact that loads of young sexy Miranite girls will be there, wearing next to nothing and nothing at all?
Drax: I plead the fifth
RaptorCon:(Smiling) Coward
Setting: Comet Café
Sat outside the Comet Café is Kayt, wearing a denim skirt and a tight white crop-top. If she looked good before, she looks even better now. She notices guys staring at her, but she only has eyes for one person.
Kayt: Soon Drax, soon we will be together...
THE END
