Chapter 10 : The Deal is Completed

The other Rangers paced around the meeting spot.  Astronema had told them
to meet at a secluded spot by the lake.  If she got the crystal, they'd get
Ashley back.  Andros seemed especially worried.

"Don't worry, Andros," TJ said, trying to reassure their leader.  "We're
going to do what we have to do.  We'll get Ashley back."

Andros looked at him.  "I hope so.  I don't know what I'd do if something
happened to her.  It's all my fault she was captured!  I was the one who
knocked off her morpher!"

"No!"  Cassie ran up to him.  "It's not your fault!  It could have happened
to anybody!"

Carlos agreed.  "You can't let it get to you, man.  She'll be OK."

They all huddled together, reassuring themselves when in a flash, there
stood Astronema and Ecliptor.  Andros strode forward.  

"Where's Ashley?" he demanded.

Astronema smiled.  "In good time.  Where's the crystal?"

Andros pulled out a crystal and threw it to Astronema.  She caught it and
looked it over.  

Andros took a step closer.  "Now, where's Ashley?  Let her go now!"

Astronema looked up from the crystal and smiled.  "Of course.  I always
keep my word.  I believe I said I'd return her to you alive and well.  I
should say, though, that "well" is, of course, a relative term."

This puzzled Andros.  "What do you mean..."

Astronema flashed her arm and there, at Andros' feet, was Ashley.  At the
sight of the mangled body of her friend, Cassie passed out in a dead faint.
 It was all the others could do to not vomit.  Andros fell to his knees
before the Ashley's squirming, mutilated form.

"Oh, my God... what's happened to her?  WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER????"

Astronema laughed.  "As I said, "alive" is clear, but "well" is a relative
term.  Ha-ha-ha!!"

Andros, tears filling his eyes, reached down to touch Ashley's cheek.

"Oh, you should have been there," mocked Astronema.  "She begged for mercy.
 Pleaded and cried for it.  You should have heard her screams as I was
cutting her tits off!  Ha-ha-ha! She had such lovely tits, too!"

The other Rangers were stunned.  They had never encountered such evil in
their lives.  TJ and Carlos had managed to revive Cassie.  She began to
sob.

"Oh God, poor Ashley..." Cassie's voice trailed off into sobs.

"It took a long time, too," continued Astronema.  "I whipped her, burned
her, and I loved every second of it.  And, ha-ha-ha, I thought she was
going to hurt my ears with her screams as I sawed through her arms and
legs.  Oh, she was going crazy! Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

It was too much to bear.  Cassie was still crying and TJ and Carlos were
trying to console her and control their own emotions.  Andros was on his
knees, his eyes fixed on Ashley's mutilated body. 

"STOP IT!" Andros screamed, covering his ears.  "STOP IT!"

"Oh, you sound just like Ashley!  That's what she said when I made her eat
her own flesh!  But she said something you didn't say, Andros.  She called
for you."

Andros looked up.

"Yes," smiled Astronema, "during the torture she called for you to save
her.  I told her that you weren't coming, that you weren't going to save
her, and I just kept on torturing her.  I'm sure at some point she realized
you weren't coming.  Can you imagine what she felt like then?  Ha-ha-ha!"

Andros was shaking all over.  He looked at Astronema.  "Why?  In God's
name, why did you do it?"

Astronema stopped smiling and glared at him.  "Because I liked it.  That's
all.  That's the only reason.  I tortured Ashley, I ripped her to shreds
because I loved it.  I loved every second of it."

Andros heart sunk as Astronema continued.

"I spent days doing nothing but torturing her.  She screamed and begged for
mercy and it just made me want to torture her some more.  I loved it.  Do
you hear me?  I loved it! I tortured her until I came and then I kept on
torturing her and kept on coming!  And I'll do it to any one of you if you
cross me again!"

Andros could take no more.  He ran at Astronema, but just as he reached
her, she vanished, leaving only her evil laughter hanging in the air.  A
low gurgling sound came from behind him and her turned around.

It was coming from Ashley.  The Rangers gathered around her.  Andros knelt
close to her quivering form and spoke to her.

"Don't worry, Ashley, we'll take care of you, I promise we'll take care of
you, we'll..."

"No we won't."

Andros turned around and saw Cassie.  

"What do you mean," Andros asked.

Cassie motioned to Ashley.  "Look at her.  I mean, just look at her!  Do
you think she wants to live like that?  Would you?  Imagine what she went
through!  Just imagine!  We've got to free her - we've got to give her
peace.  You know we do.  I love her as much as you do, and it's the only
thing we can do."

Andros looked at her.  Nobody had to say anything.  They all knew Cassie
was right.  Andros stood up and took out his Power Blaster.  He aimed it at
the quivering remains of Ashley.  

"Goodbye, Ashley.  I'll miss you more than you can ever know."  And with
that he sent a blast onto Ashley and finally, her suffering ended.

TJ put a hand on Andros' shoulder.  "You had to do it, Andros.  You had no
choice."

"I know.  She's better off this way."

The Rangers stood silently in the early morning sun.  Cassie took Andros'
hand and spoke first.

"Let's get back to the Megaship.  We'll decide what to do then."

Andros nodded and gripped Cassie's hand tightly.  They teleported back to
the ship.  Once there, they sent Ashley's body into space and tried to
figure out a cover story to explain Ashley's disappearance.  And they tried
to carry on, somehow.

Chapter 11 - Epilogue

It was night in the Dark Fortress.  Astronema's guest waved her hand,
asking Astronema to pause for a second in the story.  Astronema was
describing, in lurid, gruesome detail, exactly what she had done to Ashley.
 And Astronema's guest was rubbing herself wildly, fingers in her cunt as
she listened to Astronema describe Ashley's torture.

"OK," Cassie said, rubbing her clit and cunt harder, "Keep going.  What
happened next?"

Astronema smiled.  When Cassie, the Pink Ranger, came to her and hatched
the plan for Ashley, she knew she had found a kindred soul.  And now,
watching her masturbate while she listened to the story of her friend being
tortured, she knew she was right.

"Well, then I ripped her last toenail out."

 "OH!" moaned Cassie, in ecstasy, "How did she react?"

"She screamed so loud I couldn't believe it.  And you should have seen her
face!"

"MMMMMMM!"  Cassie came, a huge orgasm flooded her senses as the thought of
Ashley's torture filled her imagination.  

Smiling, Astronema took her clothes off and crawled up to Cassie.  They
kissed deep on the lips, a long lingering kiss.  Astronema stroked Cassie.

"And then, let me tell you what happened next..."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!"  Cassie moaned, and as Astronema continued the story
of Ashley's torture, the two women licked and rubbed themselves to orgasm
after orgasm, all fueled by the thought of Ashley's suffering.  Finally,
they got dressed and Cassie prepared to leave.

"So," Astronema said, "you got what you wanted?"

Cassie looked at her.  "Did you?"

"Indeed I did.  The crystal, and the chance to torture that Yellow bitch. 
Who could ask for anything more?"

"Well," sighed Cassie, "I wish I could have seen it.  But I really couldn't
have."

"But now Andros is yours, right?"

Cassie smiled.  "Right.  No matter what happens, it'll be better now that
that bitch is gone.  Well, Astronema, it's been nice doing business with
you.  Remember our deal.  Give me a while to get Andros.  If I'm going to
let you take over, I need Andros, and so I needed Ashley out of the way. 
Now that that's done, everything should be set.  And once you're the Queen,
I'm number 2 - right?"

Astronema smiled back.  "That's the deal.  Considering what you've done so
far, I can't think of anybody I'd rather have at my side."  She paused and
looked quizzically at Cassie.  "None of them have any idea that you set the
whole thing up?  That you set the trap for Ashley?"

Cassie laughed scornfully.  "Of course not!  Heck, Andros still thinks he
knocked Ashley's morpher off.  I wonder what he'd think if he knew that I
pulled it off her deliberately."

Astronema looked at her with respect.  "Ashley didn't give any indication
that she thought you were responsible for everything that happened to her. 
Do you think she knew?"

Cassie shrugged and laughed.  "I'd be surprised if that stupid bitch was
able to put two and two together and come up with four."  She smiled
wistfully and shook her head.  "Boy, I wish I could have watched her
suffer.  I wish I could have helped!  But once you take over, we'll have a
whole planet full of bitches like Ashley we can torture.  Can you imagine? 
We'll be able to torture one of those bitches any time we want."

Both Astronema and Cassie sighed at such a pleasant thought.

"Well," said Cassie, "I'd better go.  I'll be in touch."  And with that,
she teleported back to the Megaship.

Astronema smiled.  With Cassie at her side, they would soon rule the
galaxy, spreading evil, pain, and horror throughout.  And she couldn't
wait.
