[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.]

You didn't have to do that...

[powerofpink]

Cassie would have died if I hadn't. Psycho Pink was fighting the others, and Mike was trying to pilot Terra Venture out of the energy vortex. It was either me or hundreds of innocent people.

[of_many_treasures]

Still... you should have asked for help before running into that.

[powerofpink]

I did. I was pressed for time at first, since Psycho Pink had read my mind about the Savage Sword, but I ran into Cassie. We called for help, but I think Trakeena took advantage of this to delay the others with Stingwingers.

[of_many_treasures]

And... yeah. I guess there was nothing you can do about it now...

[powerofpink]

Not really.

And I'm sorry I can't help you save your brother.

[of_many_treasures]

It's... fine I... I'll be in touch if I can. Find some way to talk still...

[powerofpink]

If I can figure out a way, I will. I'll have to find someone else to take the Quasar Saber, after all.

[of_many_treasures]

All right. And... sorry, I wasn't there to help.

[powerofpink]

It's okay. None of us thought that Psycho Pink could have survived that explosion.

[of_many_treasures]

Okay. Still, sorry.

[powerofpink]

Take care of yourself, okay?

[of_many_treasures]

I will, I... yeah. Sorry. [And with that he cuts the line.]
