Disclamier:
Power Rangers in Space belong to Saban. Road Rovers belongs to Kids WB. Asmodai was the idea of Tanith's. Billy belongs to Saban, so do the Aquitarin Rangers. Rose are red, violets are blue. I own all the rest, I shall never sue.
Note:
The word "SilverDog" is their idea of god. SilverDog is actually a normal canine. He's a greyhound. fully grey, with some sparkles of silver around him, his eyes are pure silver. This should clear up the word "SilverDog".

Standing Outside The Fire Part 1
By Jessica Hanson

SCENE: A Dark Place of Sapiea. This place is totally bent out of reality. Trees twist together, the sun is blocked by dark, dark clouds. Buildings have been utterly destroyed and once beautiful lakes are dark and murky. Some trees have been uprooted. Suddenly their are soft, echoing footsteps. Chaos (A female Black Lab/Doberman mix Cano-Sapien) walks down the streets. She's in a normal T-shirt that's black with pink mixed in, along with blue jeans and hiking boots. She looks around the world, blue eyes travling over everything.

Chaos (American Accent, Horrified): Oh SilverDog...

Suddenly there's a snarl. She whirls around. Standing behind her is an Afghan Hound.

Chaos (Confused): Fire-Starter?

Fire-Starter (Extremely Gruff American Accent): Who were you expecting??

Chaos recoils from him. This is not Fire-Starter, he's dead. Half his face is a skeleton, one arm has no skin at all. The clothes that he has been wearing for who knows how long is tattered, ripped, fully of mud and blood. Fire-Starter growls at Chaos.

Fire-Starter: Look what you've done to me, Chaos! Look what you've done to all of us!! Suddenly an Irish Wolfhound, Dalmation, and a Coon Hound appear. All are half dead, half living. They're all snarling and growling. Their eyes, or what's left of them, are full of pure hate, pure anger, and pure rage. Chaos backs away in pure terror.

Chaos: Cujo. Dixie Cup. Asmodai.

Cujo [the wolfhound](Snarling, gruff American Accent): Why didn't you help us?

Chaos: I-I-I...

Asmodai (Gruff Asian Accent): You left us there to die!

Chaos: I didn't-!

Dixie Cup (Gruff Southern Accent): You left for a bunch of humans!!

The group form a tight circle around Chaos as she tries to back away from them.

Fire-Starter: How could you leave us?! And for humans too!!!!

The group snarl, tighting further.

Chaos: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

She continues to shout as the group tightens further and further, and further still, until there's a blackness.

SCENE: Chaos' Quarters on the Astro Megaship. This is very plan looking room, much like her room in RRMC. There's a table, a chair a few pictures, and a bed. The bed sits off to the side with a window, showing the stars. Chaos is thrashing in her bed, tossing and saying "i'm sorry!" every so often. She bolts up in utter terror, slaming her head on the celing of the bunk.

Chaos(In pain): OUCH!!

She lies back, rubbing and her head and gulping at the air.

Chaos: Just a dream...It was just a dream....One that keeps coming back!

She places her hands over her face. She groans softly. These nightmares had been coming for a week now, since she started working with the Road Rovers and continued to work with the Power Rangers. It might have been built up from stress, but Chaos knew it was from her guilt of leaving her home planet in its state. She removes her hands from her face and rolls out of the bed. She stands up and quickly changes into her clothes.

SCENE: Megaship, Bridge. Chaos enters the bridge. Nobody is around.

Chaos: DECA, where are the others?

DECA (Feamle, American Accent): The Rangers left for some time on Earth.

Chaos sighs and she takes a seat at a console. She begins to work on it. Zhane suddenly comes in.

Zhane (American Accent): Hey, Pinky!

She whacks her hand against the console, hard.

Chaos: Ow!

She puts her hand into her mouth, frowning at Zhane. He continues to smile.

Zhane: Sorry didn't mean to frighten you.

Chaos (Snapish): I wasn't frightened! You merely startled me.

Zhane (Slightly taken aback): Well I didn't mean to _startle_ you.

She grunts slightly and goes back to work, hunching over the console. Zhane frowns slightly and walks over to her. He places a hand on her shoulder.

Chaos: Chaos, are you okay?

Chaos: Of course I'm okay, what makes you think I'm not okay?

Zhane: Maybe because you're snapping at me?? You never snap at

anyone! Chaos stiffens slightly, but remains silent.

Zhane (Slowly): What's wrong?

Chaos: Just drop it, Zhane, there's nothing wrong with me.

She stands and walks away, leaving a startled Zhane behind.

SCENE: Around RRMC, surface. Chaos plops down in the sand. She takes a handful of the sand and allows the sand to slip through her fingers.

Chaos (Thinking): How could I just leave them…Why do I care about the humans? I should've stopped the Destroyers, not helped humans protect their own world. I could be considered a traitor to my race…if I had a race anymore...

She's so busy thinking she doesn't realize that Astromena could be watching her.

SCENE: Astronema's Ship. Astromena pushes back her silvery purple hair. On the screen she sees Chaos all by herself. She chuckles softly

. Astronema: Not a very good idea, Pink Ninjette...Ecliptor!!

Ecliptor walks in and bows.

Ecliptor: Yes, my princess?

Astronema: I want you to go down to Earth and kill the Pink Wolf Ninjette. Do not let her contact her Ranger friends and do not let her live.

Ecliptor: As you wish.

He walks out. Astronema smiles, Earth would have one less Ranger.

SCENE: Back above RRMC. Chaos taps her communicator.

Chaos: Hey...Alpha.

Alpha: Ay-yi-yi-yi! I was wondering where you went!

Chaos: Easy, man. I'm above Road Rover mission control. I'm gonna stay here for tonight. Tell the others.

Alpha: Okay, Chaos.

She turns off the communicator and stands. She dusts sand from her jeans.

Ecliptor: Thank you, Wolf Ninjette! You saved me a lot of trouble! She whirls around to face him. She takes a fight stance and then tries to reach her communicator.

Chaos: Alpha—Ouch!

Ecliptor sent a missile and it hits Chaos' wrist, destroying her communicator. She reaches for her pink wold pendent but he shoots that out of her hand. He pulls out a sword as she backs away.

Ecliptor: It is time for you to die.

Chaos: SilverDog ain't expecting me yet!

She leaps away as he brings down the sword. She continues to leap away as he tries to strike her. He frowns and replaces the sword with a blaster. He fires and hits her dead on. She yelps and looks at the shoulder, where the blast hit. The clothes she had there has been chard, burnt to as black as her fur. Red blood seeps from the wound slowly. Ecliptor laughs and blasts her again, this time in the leg. She falls to the ground clutching her leg and wincing in utter pain. He towers over her.

Ecliptor: It seems SilverDog well get a surprise...(Evil laugh) He blasts her in the chest. She falls limp. He laughs again and teleports away.

SCENE: City of Angle Grove. Elgar (Yeah this guy is still around) is messing with a teleprotation device of Dark Specter's. Suddenly he drops it and a vortex opens up.

Elgar: Uh-oh...This might be a bad thing....

Suddenly three colorfully clad people step out. One in red, one in black, and one in yellow. Each has a face mask covering, leaving only their eyes. Each has a wolf pendent.

Elgar: Uh-oh! This is a bad thing! Astromena is not gonna be happy with me!

He teleports off, the vortex closes. The trio whirl around.

Yellow: Oh no! Our only way home!

Black: What home? It was destroyed.

Red: Guys!! I think this is Earth.

They demorph to reveal three teenage Cano-Sapiens. One's a Dalmatian, one's an Afghan Hound, and one's an Irish Wolfhound.

SCENE: Astro Megaship. Andros walks on to the bridge, where Alpha is.

Andros: Alpha, where's Chaos?

Alpha: She said to tell you that she was going to stay at her mission control.

Andros (While tapping his communicator): Well we really need her expertise right now. Chaos, come in.

He gets static. He frowns.

Andros: Chaos, report. (More static) Chaos!

All he gets is static.

Andros: This is not good. DECA, can you scan the area of Road Rover mission control for Chaos?

DECA: Yes, Andros. Scanning.

In a few seconds, the picture of Chaos, bleeding and dying, comes up.

Andros's mouth drops open. He rushes to get to the turbolift.

Alpha: Andros, where are you going?

Andros: To save her.

Alpha: But the Road Rovers could see you!

Andros: I lost Milla, Fee, Bladdyn, and Sozoas. There is no way I'm gonna let another friend die.

He rushes to the galaxy glider tubes.

Andros: Galaxy glider, hang ten!

He disappears down the tube.

SCENE: Above RRMC. Andros, now morphed and on a galaxy glider, lands and runs over to where Chaos lies.

Andros: Chaos, respond to me.

She doesn't give a respond. She just lies there.

Andros: No! Chaos wake up!! Please…..

Suddenly her chest slowly begins to rise and fall and her eyes flutter open.

Chaos (Weak, in pain): Andros...

Andros: You're alive!!

She gives him a weak smile that fades quickly.

Chaos (Weak): Andros....buddy....can we go some place where they can look at my leg? It's killing me....

Andros nods, not mentioning the gapping, bleeding chest wound or the badly burnt shoulder. He gently lifts her onto the galaxy glider and takes off. As they disappear, the three canines appear. Just then Blitz (A male Doberman Cano-Sapien) and Hunter (A male golden retriever Cano-Sapien) come onto the surface. The two groups spot each other at the same time.

Hunter, Afghan hound: Who are you?

The Afghan's eyes narrow slightly.

Afghan: I'm Fire-Starter. This is Dixie Cup (Points to the Dalmatian) and that is Cujo (Points to the Irish Wolfhound)

Hunter: I'm Hunter and this is Blitz.

Blitz notices the three wolf pendents.

Blitz: Hey...Chaos has one of those only it's pink.

Fire-Starter (Startled): Chaos?

Blitz: Ja. She's the newest Rover.

Cujo: Can we see her?

Hunter: Well we can't find her. She has a tendency to disappear during off time. But she always turns up! Hey, why don't you guys come on in with us and wait?

Fire-Starter: Okay.

The trio follows the duo.

SCENE: Megaship, infirmary. Ashley places a tricorder type thing down as Andros comes in.

Andros (Concerned): How is she?

Ashley: She'll be fine. Her powers are healing the most deadly and urgent parts of the chest wound. She'll walk with a limp for a few days and her breathing might be labored for awhile.

Andros walks over to her side besides Chaos. Ashley gently takes his hand, she squeezes it.

Andros (Quiet): Ecliptor almost killed her….She could have died…

Ashley: But she didn't.

Andros: I swear....If it takes a million years I well make him pay for the deaths he caused...

SCENE: RRMC. Fire-Starter, Cujo, Dixie Cup sit in the Rec Room, somewhat uncomfortably.

Cujo: Where could she be?

Fire-Starter: Be patience, Chaos well come back when she's ready…

Chaos: But patience was never Cujo's virtue, Fire.

The trio turn to she Chaos, leaning heavily against the door frame.

Cujo (Jumping up): Chaos! You're alive!!

She steps away from the door and limps to the couch and sits next to Fire-Starter.

Chaos: More or less...

They looked confused. She spots the pendants. She looks back at them and gives a smile.

Chaos: Did you guys meet a floating head in a water cooler?

Fire-Starter: Well he was an interdimensional being, but the looks are kind of accurate. Yes we did.

Chaos: I've got some explaining to do. But later. Much later. We're all here seems like.

She looks around and grows confused.

Chaos (Confused): But where's Asmodia?

Dixie Cup and Cujo break eyecontact with her. Fire-Starter's voice is quiet.

Fire-Starter: He was killed in an escape attempt...none of us knew he was going to try it. He talked about it, but we didn't know he'd be so stupid as to try it...

Tears slowly slide down Chaos's black cheeks. She shakes her head in disbelief.

Chaos: Asmodia...died?

Fire-Starter: Yes...He got fairly far in the attempt, but he stayed behind, the Destroyers gunned him down.

Chaos begins to sob quietly.

SCENE: Planet Aquitar. This is a world that is made almost all water. The beings on this planet look part human and part fish. This is the home of the Aquitarin Rangers. We zoom to Cestria's quarters. Lying in a bed is the teenage Aquitarin girl. By her side is teenage genius Billy Cranston. He seems to be younger then ever, maybe thanks to the Eternal Falls. He's gently holding Cestria's hand. Cestria has been dying of an illness, although the Aquitarins lived long and had no diseases. There was only one that had gotten through their knowledge, unfortunately Cestria had gotten it. Now she was dying. Tears slowly slide down Billy's cheeks as her hand tenses up once and then falls limp.

SCENE: Docking Bay on Aquitar. Billy slings his duffel bag over his shoulder as he faces his friends.

Delphine: Are you positive you wish to head back to Earth, Billy?

Billy: I must...It's too painful to be here.

He looks down at his feet as the Rangers nod. They leave leaving Cestro and Billy alone.

Cestro: I am truly sorry, Billy. I wish there was something more we could do...

Billy sighs and looks up at him. Cestro places a hand on his shoulder.

Cestro: We well miss you Billy.

Billy: I'll miss you all too….but I don't think I could survive here with Cestria gone.

Billy heads into the launch and plots a course for home and a new life.
