[cut for character death]

[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.]

(Denial just might make things easier for Shinji to remember.)

You had no cnoice but to fight? There was no other way to stop them?

[powerofpink]

She would have killed my friend. These weren't people, the Psycho Rangers. There was machinery in the debris--either they were robots that could turn into monsters, or they were monsters with a robotic Ranger form.

[neverendingdebt]

...I can understand that. I promised I would do what I could to stop the fighting, but I also said I would protect people from the monsters.

[powerofpink]

I hope you have better luck than I did.

[neverendingdebt]

...Thanks, Kendrix-san.

You did your best, and you were in it for the right reasons.
