[cut for character death]

[powerofpink]

[The video starts in the middle of the action, with significant static due to energy interference. What's causing the interference? A massive column of black and reddish energy that Kendrix is fighting her way through. In the middle of it is a huge sword, stabbed right through a morpher--the morpher that had belonged to Kendrix's predecessor, Cassie.]

I've almost reached the morpher!

[She stumbles through the last layer of energy, but falls to her knees, the energy still coursing through her.]

It's the only way to save Cassie.

[She gets up, walks over with her Quasar Saber.]

I've got to do it.

Get out of there!

[Kendrix looks back at Cassie.]

I've got to destroy it--forever.

[Now the other eight Rangers are running toward her, screaming her name. But she ignores them, adding power to her saber.]

This has got to work!

[With a slash, she cuts through the sword...and is blown back by the energy backlash as it breaks.

The vortex disappears, but all that remains are Cassie's broken morpher, the broken halves of the Savage Sword and a ghostly Pink Ranger holding her Quasar Saber. In a flash of light, the ghost demorphs, and Kendrix looks up as she hears her friends call her name. Looking at them, she smiles.]

I'm okay. I'll always be here.

[She lingers for a bit before her spirit disappears into the Quasar Saber, which rises into the sky and vanishes.]

[OOC: Kendrix will respond for a bit before she disappears.]

I'm so sorry, Yuri. This must be even harder on you.

[fightbymoonlight]

You... [The concept of someone dead talking to her is hardly a new one to her. This is eerily like her meeting with Cologne at the Heart Tree. She doesn't like that one bit.]

You shouldn't be worrying about me, you...

...there has to be something we can do...

[powerofpink]

I'll be okay. I promise.

[fightbymoonlight]

How can you promise something like that when you're... [Nope, she can't say it. Saying it would make it real.]

[powerofpink]

I'm sorry. I wish it hadn't come to this. But I couldn't let anything happen to Cassie, or to all the people on Terra Venture.

[fightbymoonlight]

I understand, but... [Of course she understands. Yuri, of all people, understands. She would have done the same thing. That doesn't mean she has to like it, though.]

...Are you sure you'll be alright?

[powerofpink]

I'm sure. If there's a way for me to come back, then it'll happen. I'm sure my friends will find it.

[fightbymoonlight]

Do you really think that might be possible? [She doesn't want to sound too hopeful, but she can't help it.]

[powerofpink]

I don't know. But I've got a feeling, since I was caught up in the energy from the morpher and my Quasar Saber, that there might be something in there.

[fightbymoonlight]

I guess that's better than no chance at all... They'd better find a way then.

[powerofpink]

They will. It might take some time, but I trust them.

[fightbymoonlight]

Alright.

...I'm going to miss you, you know.

[powerofpink]

I know. I'll miss you too.
