Chapter 1 : The Capture It was a typical day on the Megaship. Andros, Ashley, and Cassie were checking on the status of all the controls on the ship. They were all wearing their regular uniforms they wore when they weren't "morphed" into Rangers - gray pants, boots, a shirt of their Ranger color (Andros was red, Cassie was pink, and Ashley was yellow), and a gray jacket over it all. And although he tried to keep his attention on his duties, it was tough for Ashley not to steal a glance - several, actually - at Ashley. Ashley Hammond, the Yellow Ranger, wore her uniform exceptionally well. Her pants were tight, showing off her shapely, firm buttocks. And her tight yellow shirt showed off her voluptuous breasts. Andros felt himself getting an erection just being around her. And Ashley's luscious body didn't go unnoticed by Cassie, either. Although she and Ashley were close friends, she couldn't help but be a bit jealous of Ashley's near perfect body. And she got even a little more jealous when Andros saddled up besides Ashley to help her with her duties. Suddenly, an alarm went off. Cassie ran to the monitor and looked back at Ashley and Andros with alarm. "It says that there's trouble in Angel Grove!" Andros came up and pushed a couple of buttons. "Where? I don't see anything!" Ashley saddled up beside him. "Neither do I." Cassie looked at them. "Maybe we should check it out?" Andros looked to Ashley, who nodded in agreement. "OK, let's go." The three of them quickly teleported down to Angel Grove. They looked around. "I don't see anything," Andros said. "Let's look around." They were in Angel Grove Park, which was deserted, except for the three of them. They separated, and then Cassie called to Ashley. "Hey, Ash! Come over here and look at this!" Ashley jogged over to where Cassie was. They looked down at a small, furry ball on the ground. "What do you think that is," Ashley asked, kneeling down to get a closer look. But just as she reached out her hand, the ball turned into a metal hand that grabbed Ashley's wrist! It was a Quantron, one of Astronema's servants, in disguise! Ashley and Cassie both shrieked, and Cassie tried to pull Ashley away from the beast. Hearing the shrieks, Andros came running in time to see that now, Ashley and Cassie were being attacked by four Quantrons. Andros joined in trying to free Ashley when they heard a voice behind them. "It's not use, Rangers!" They turned to see Ecliptor, the green robot monster who assisted Astronema. Andros called to him, still struggling to free Ashley. "What do you want, Ecliptor!" Waving his sword, the monster replied, "I've already got what I want! The Yellow Ranger is ours! Ha-ha-ha-ha!" And with a wave of his hands, he, the Quantrons, and Ashley all disappeared. Andros looked around. There was no trace of them anywhere. He turned to Cassie. "Let's get out of here. We need to get to the ship. We need to find her!" Cassie was looking down at the ground. "It's worse than you even think, Andros. Look." Andros looked down and, at his feet, was Ashley's morpher. She would have no defense now, she had no way to morph into the Yellow Ranger and save herself. "Oh, no," the crestfallen Red Ranger said, "I must have knocked it off her during the struggle. Damn me!" "Don't lose control, Andros. We can still find her!" Andros nodded. "OK, let's go." And with that, Andros and Cassie teleported back to the ship, desperate to somehow find their friend. Chapter 2 : The Ordeal Begins When Ashley materialized again, she found herself on the Dark Fortress. Ashley struggled, but the Quantrons held her firmly. A door swung open, and in walked Astronema. Ashley tossed her head to sweep the hair away from her eyes, and looked at Astronema with as stern a look as she could muster. "What are you doing now, Astronema?" Ashley said defiantly. Astronema walked up to her and stood face to face with her captive. She put her finger under Ashley's chin and lifter her head to make sure she was looking directly into her eyes. "Why, my pretty Ashley," Astronema said, eyeing Ashley contentedly, "I've asked you here as my guest, so we can have a good time. You'd like to have a good time, wouldn't you?" Ashley's heart started beating faster, but she retained control. "What do you mean?" Astronema, still holding Ashley's chin, smiled broadly. "I mean just what I said. We're going to have some fun. We're going to have fun in my playroom. Doesn't that sound nice?" To Ashley, it sounded anything but nice. She struggled a little bit, but to no avail. Astronema stopped smiling, let go of Ashley's chin, and stepped back. She turned to the Quantrons and Ecliptor. "Let's go to the playroom. I'm ready to play and I can't wait!" Astronema turned around and strode out of the room. Ecliptor followed, as did the Quantrons and Ashley. They walked down a hall, took several turns, and went down several stairs. They had to stop often for Astronema to key in a code to open a door. Ashley did her best to remember every twist and turn so she would be able to escape when the opportunity presented itself. Finally, they stopped before a door. Astronema turned to her captive. "And here we finally are," she said, indicating the door. "My playroom... my very favorite room. I'm sure it will be yours, too!" And with that, she pressed a code and the door opened. Astronema walked in, followed by Ecliptor. And then the Quantrons led Ashley inside, and when she saw what was in the room it took every ounce of self-control not to start screaming. The "playroom" was a torture chamber. It was filled with all manner of horrifying devices, things that Ashley had heard about but never actually seen. Ashley was filled with terror. Astronema looked at Ashley and was thrilled with the reaction. Ashley was breathing heavily, obviously terrified beyond words - just the reaction Astronema hoped for. She walked over to the girl. "I see you like my playroom," taunted Astronema. "Unfortunately, you're not really dressed properly. Take her jacket off!" As soon as the words had left Astronema's mouth, the Quantrons quickly removed Ashley's jacket. Ashley looked at Astronema, stunned. Two more Quantrons approached her, and Astronema barked instructions at them. "Hold her up for me!" The Quantrons each grabbed on of Ashley's legs, and they held her spread-eagled in the air. Astronema walked over and leaned close to Ashley's face. "Now, let's get you in the proper dress for my playroom!" Astronema walked to Ashley feet and untied her boots. She pulled them off, and then pulled off Ashley's socks, leaving her barefoot. Ashley had beautiful feet, with luscious, perfectly formed toes. Her toenails were unpainted, and the sight of Ashley's stunning feet overwhelmed Astronema for a second. She leaned close, stroked the helpless girl's feet and tweaked her pretty toes. "Oh," Astronema moaned, rubbing her fingers across Ashley's toes and feet as Ashley squirmed miserably, "what plans I have for these pretty feet!" Astronema took control of herself, and picked up a pair of scissors. She then started to slowly cut up Ashley's left pant leg. Ashley's eyes went wide open and she cried out. "What are you doing?" she cried. "Why," mocked Astronema, "I'm just getting you dressed... or undressed as the case may be!!' Astronema continued to cut up Ashley's left pant leg and then her right pant leg, finally cutting the pants off, leaving Ashley wearing only a small pair of bikini briefs below the waist. She then cut away Ashley's shirt, leaving her wearing only her bra and panties. Ashley struggled futilely, trying to prevent the wicked women from cutting away her clothes. Once Ashley was only in her bra and panties, Astronema paused for a second - but only a second. Four more quick snips and, before Ashley even knew what was happening, she was completely naked. Ashley had an absolutely fabulous body - large, firm breasts, each one with a delicious, medium sized brown nipple, a flat, smooth stomach containing a perfectly formed belly-button, a perfectly shaped ass, and muscular, shapely legs which ended in stunning feet and toes. Ashley gasped, and turned completely red from the top of her head to the tip of her toes. She was completely, absolutely, and utterly humiliated. Being naked in and of itself was humiliating enough, but to be so completely exposed and vulnerable before Astronema, her mortal enemy! Even as her heart beat faster with fear, Ashley struggled to retain control of her emotions. Astronema grabbed one of Ashley's hands. Ashley had beautiful hands and fingers, but her fingernails were long and painted. She held the hand and looked to Ashley. "We can't have these, I'm afraid," Astronema said. And with that she picked up a nail clipper and nail polish remover and clipped all of Ashley's fingernails close and removed the polish from them. They were now completely natural and close-clipped. "Good," the wicked queen said, looking at her handiwork. "Now, let's get rid of this other stuff." And with that, she took off Ashley's rings, her earrings, and then went to take off the necklace that Ashley always wore. "NO!" cried Ashley. "That was a gift." Astronema smiled. "A gift? From Andros I suppose!" Ashley looked away in silent acknowledgement. Astronema was still holding the necklace in her hand. "Well, in that case..." she said, and then pulled the necklace off and threw it into a nearby bin. Ashley moaned in misery, and made a mental note. The bitch would pay dearly for that! Astronema turned to the Quantrons. "Tie her up!" she ordered. The four Quantrons carried Ashley to a place in the room where there was a hook on the ceiling. The two Quantrons holding her legs let them drop to the floor, and Ashley gasped when she felt the cold, steel floor under her bare feet. The other two Quantrons lashed her wrists together and pulled her arms up over her head and secured the end of the rope to the hook on the ceiling. Ashley stood, completely exposed, arms bound over her head. The Quantrons backed off into a corner of the room. For a while, the only sound in the room was the clomping of Astronema's boots as she walked around Ashley, drinking in her voluptuous nudity. Astronema, unable to resist the allure of Ashley's naked form, started to fondle her nude body. She massaged Ashley's firm, large breasts. She stroked them, ran her tongue over - and then kissed -- the luscious brown nipple. She started to walk around Ashley's bound form, rubbing Ashley's gorgeous ass. Astronema continued to fondle and rub Ashley's voluptuous body, leaving no spot untouched. Ashley was in complete misery as the humiliation of what was happening to her overwhelmed her. She looked up at the ceiling, fighting back tears as she felt Astronema's fingers squeeze her flesh and Astronema's cold, wet tongue rub over her exposed skin. Then she gave a yelp as a burst of pain exploded in her ass. Astronema had spanked Ashley's ass. She giggled as Ashley jumped and yelped in pain. She walked to Ashley's front and grabbed her hair, twisting her face until she was looking the terrified girl right in the eyes. She reached over with her other hand and grabbed Ashley's breast, squeezing it and digging her fingers deep into the shapely flesh. She saw the pain fill her victim's face as she squeezed. "Isn't this fun, Ashley," mocked Astronema, smiling happily. She gazed upon the breast that she had in her hand. "I've got such plans for these tits, Ashley, such wonderful plans," the wicked woman sighed wistfully. She gave the breast another squeeze and an involuntary yelp of pain escaped Ashley's lips. She then put her boot onto Ashley's naked toes and pressed down. Ashley's face squinted even more as Astronema's hard boot-sole pressed onto her delicate toes. Astronema let go of Ashley's hair and began to torment her. She played with Ashley's nipples - cupping the breast with one hand and pinching the delicate nipple with her other hand. She leaned close, put Ashley's tender brown nipple in her mouth and bit down hard. She yanked Ashley's pubic hair, pinched her flesh all over... each torment caused Ashley's to cry out despite her desperate attempts to remain silent and not give Astronema the satisfaction of hearing her suffer. Finally, after Astronema tired of this sport, she grabbed Ashley around her waist and started to spank her with all the strength she had. Astronema felt unfettered joy each time she brought her hand back and brought it down hard onto Ashley's beautiful ass. The feel of Ashley's firm, soft flesh against her palm, the jiggling of Ashley's supple ass cheeks each time she struck her, the yelps of pain that came from Ashley and the tears that started to escape Ashley's eyes - all this filled Astronema with as much pleasure as it filled Ashley with misery. She spanked Ashley again and again and again and again. Finally, she let Ashley go and walked away. Ashley sighed deeply, enormously relieved that the punishment was over. But then she heard Astronema's boot coming towards her. And when she saw what Astronema was holding her heart sank, and she began to whimper. "Oh, no, no, no. Oh please no...." Astronema stood before her, a wide smile on her face. She was holding a whip in her hand. The whip was a cat o' nine-tails, with wide leather straps. Ashley had heard of such things, but had never seen one. She realized that Astronema planned on using it on her, and she didn't think she would be able to stand it. Astronema brandished the whip in front of Ashley's face, relishing in the fear that was so evident in the helpless girl's face. She slowly strode around so she was behind Ashley. Ashley looked over her shoulder and saw Astronema shaking the whip. Ashley turned front and started breathing heavily, trying to prepare herself for what was going to happen to her when- WHAM! Her back exploded with pain! The pain was so sudden and so intense that Ashley couldn't even scream. She simply gasped in pain and then WHAM! WHAM! Astronema whipped her twice more and Ashley let out a scream of pain and started to struggle against the ropes that held her. Astronema smiled and then she pulled back her arm and WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! She delivered three more stinging blows of the whip onto Ashley's struggling body. Ashley screamed and struggled wildly while she was being whipped. She tried to twist her body around, attempting to dodge the whip. Astronema laughed merrily at the sight of Ashley's pitiful struggles. "Oh, Ashley, do you really think you can escape me?" laughed Astronema. "What's the matter? Does it hurt? How about this?" She sent the whip swinging onto Ashley two more times. "AAHHH!!! AAAAHHH!!!" Ashley screamed as the pain exploded onto her bare back. She had never been whipped before, she had never actually even been hit before, even as a Ranger she managed to avoid serious blows. She had been determined to be strong, but she was simply unprepared for how much it hurt. She began to kick and twist under the blows, trying desperately - but futilely - to escape. Astronema frowned. Ashley was twisting a little too much. She wanted to make sure that she focused her blows carefully so as to inflict the maximum amount of pain with the minimum of physical damage. After all, this was early on and Astronema had large, hideous plans for Ashley. So she put down the whip and picked up a bar two feet long with straps on each end. Bending over, she secured Ashley's shapely ankles to the straps. Astronema stepped back and admired her handiwork. With her legs tied to the spreader, Ashley couldn't kick or twist as much. And with her target much more stationary, Astronema took the whip and began again. Over and over again Astronema whipped the helpless, quivering girl. Ashley screamed and struggled and cried out as the whip struck again and again and again. Astronema was a master of the whip, sending five or six blows in succession, and then stopping. She waited, watching Ashley flinch involuntarily, awaiting the next blow of the whip with fear and trepidation. And just when Ashley least expected it, the sound of the whip would fly through the air and the pain would be back again and Ashley would scream and she would be sure she wasn't going to be able to stand any more but Astronema would whip and whip and whip and Ashley would scream and scream and scream... After what seemed like an eternity to Ashley, the whipping stopped. Sweat dripped from her body, and she hung her head, panting. Through the haze of her tears, she could see the floor and her own bare feet. Then Astronema's boots came into view and she lifted her head to face her tormentor. Astronema held in her hands a stick about three feet long with a switch on one end and two metal prongs close together on the other. She smiled and held it in front of Ashley's face. Astronema then took the stick, put the two prongs on Ashley's firm, sweating body and pushed the switch. BBBBZZZZZTTTT!!! A searing jolt of pain shot through Ashley. The stick was a cattle prod and was sending shocks of intense pain. Ashley screamed louder than she had screamed before. Astronema threw back her head and laughed. She then took the prod and started to work on Ashley. The torture was hideous. Astronema used the prod all over Ashley's sweating, naked body. She shocked Ashley's breasts, her legs, her ass, her arms, and her stomach. Ashley was going wild with pain, screaming and thrashing wildly during the torture. Finally, the torture stopped. Ashley hung in her bonds, sweating and panting. "No more... please no more..." she whimpered. The pain was more than she could bear. Astronema leaned down and put the prod on her genitals, positioning one of the prongs directly on Ashley's clitoris and the other on one of her cunt lips. She grabbed Ashley by the hair and twisted, forcing the girl's face to look directly in hers. She then flipped on the switch. Agonizing, searing pain ripped through Ashley's genitals. She was shaking, twitching as the electricity flowed into her most delicate areas. Astronema held her hair and kept the shock going for 5 seconds, then 10, then 15, then 20, then 25 as Ashley shook and screamed wildly in the purest pain imaginable and then finally, after 30 seconds of unbearable torture, she finally passed out. Astronema turned the prod off and beheld her unconscious victim. She reached down into her pants and began to rub herself, trying at least partially to relieve the intense sexual excitement she was getting from torturing Ashley. When she removed her hand, her fingers were soaking wet with the juices from her excited pussy. She quickly motioned to prepare Ashley for the next torment. Cold water was tossed onto Ashley's face. She awoke slowly, surveying her surroundings. Her arms were now bound behind her back. She looked down and saw that her ankles had been secured to two blocks of wood. There was a long screw about 8 feet long that ran through the wood blocks that Ashley's shapely ankles were tied to. There was a crank at one end of the long screw. As Ashley tested the restraints, Astronema approached her with a smile. "I love this device," Astronema cooed. "It's very interesting - I just know you'll enjoy it." With that, Astronema went over to the wheel and gave it a turn which caused Ashley's feet to move apart from each other about 6 inches. Ashley looked down in horror and then looked up at Astronema. She smiled wickedly. "You see," Astronema said, still smiling, "with each turn of the screw your legs will come apart 6 inches. You used to be a cheerleader, so I'm guessing you could do splits. But you've never done splits quite like this! Ha-ha-ha!!" Ashley drew in her breath. She knew Astronema was right. When she did cheerleader splits, they were font to back. She never did them side to side, and she wondered if it was possible for her to do it. Terror began to fill her. After the brutal whipping she had just suffered, she wasn't sure she could endure anything else. Ashley's terror only increased when she saw Astronema bring out another device and place it directly below Ashley's exposed cunt. It was a stun gun, and mounted on a 6" metal bar. Astronema flipped a switch and the shocks flew between the extended prods. Ashley looked down on it, her face a mask of terror and confusion. "You see," Astronema continued, "as you are stretched, your pretty pussy will start to lower." With that, she gave Ashley's cunt a tug. "And once it gets low enough, this lovely little device will do its lovely work on your pussy." She went directly to Ashley's face. "Imagine how that's going to feel - it's much more powerful than the toy we were playing with before!" Ashley was in so much terror she began to whimper. "Please... Astronema don't... please..." Astronema smiled contentedly. "You look suitably scared," Astronema said to the terrified girl. She motioned to Ecliptor. "Ecliptor, begin". As Astronema stood before Ashley's bound body, Ecliptor went over and started turning the screw slowly. Six inches at a time. He would wait 30 seconds between turns and slowly turn the screw again. Astronema stood before Ashley, watching carefully. As Ashley's terror increased, she began to cry and tears flowed down her cheeks. Astronema licked the tears from her face, relishing in the Yellow Ranger's suffering. When Ashley's feet were about four feet apart, the pain really began. With each slow turn of the screw it became more and more intense. Ashley's pretty face begin to contort in pain, and although she tries desperately to not give Astronema the pleasure of hearing her cries, moans of pain begin to come out of her mouth as her tears continue. Ecliptor gives the crank another turn. "AAAAHHHH!" Despite her efforts, the pain caused by this turn caused Ashley to cry out. With the girl's pitiful shriek, Astronema lets out a moan of pleasure. She slides a hand into her pants and begins to rub her clitoris as she gazes contentedly at the tortured girl. Another turn! Ashley threw her head back and screamed hideously. The pain was becoming overwhelming, tears flowing down her cheeks. Astronema continued to masturbate, softly moaning in pleasure. Ecliptor gave the crank another turn, and Ashley lost control. "AAAAHHH!!! PLEASE!! NO MORE!! PLEASE, ASTRONEMA, NO MORE PLEASE MERCY I CAN'T STAND IT.. AAAAAAAHHHH!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" The monster had given the crank yet another turn. Severe, unbearable cramps shot through Ashley's shapely legs. Ashley was going wild, she had never felt pain like this, she was certain she couldn't bear it. And yet Ecliptor gave another crank! And another! Ashley's screams of agony filled the room, as she flung her head around her tears flew off her, landing on Astronema who continued to rub her clitoris as she drank in the voluptuous sight of Ashley suffering. Another turn! Ashley's agony becomes worse and worse. She's certain that she can't possibly survive, she can't possibly stand any more she is surely going to die, there's just no more pain she could possibly stand and then, "AAAAEEEEIIIII!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" With another turn, Ashley fells like she is being ripped in half. She is howling, shrieking in pain. Astronema is rubbing herself harder and harder, her moans of pleasure mixing with the screams of pain coming from the tortured girl's throat. And then Ecliptor gave one more turn, and to add to the unbearable pain of Ashley's legs, the stun gun settled into her genitals, sending the electricity deep into her cunt. The sudden rush of pain is so intense, so unexpected, so much greater than anything she had felt up until now, then Ashley's eyes go wide, her mouth goes into a round "O", and she lets out an almost silent gasp and then collapses in a faint. At this same moment, Ashley's screams of pain are supplanted with Astronema's screams of pleasure, as she masturbated herself to orgasm watching Ashley's torture. Gaining control of herself, Astronema studied Ashley's limp form. She had Ashley removed from the contraption, and let Ashley's limp body crumble to the floor of the torture chamber. One of the Quantrons tossed cold water onto her. Ashley awoke slowly. "Take her to her new home," Astronema said severely. "We'll continue our games later." And with that she strode out of the room. Two Quantrons grabbed Ashley's arms, and, forcing Ashley to follow along, they followed Ecliptor out of the room and down a long hallway.
