All in a Day's Horror
by: Crypt

Lexington and Alpha were still hard at work trying to fix Fulgore. Ashley came in to see how they were doing.

"Hey.....any luck?" she asked.

"It's rather slow, but I think Fulgore is getting better," Lexington told her. "Don't worry; he'll be back eventually. Tell Spinal that, okay?"

"Okay." Ashley left the room.

When Ashley got into the dining room where Spinal and several others were chatting. Demona was explaining her plan against the Psycho Rangers.

"This is a love potion," she said. "If the Psychos are evil enough, they won't necessarily fall in love, but at least it'll soften them up. Maybe they'll become good."

"So, how exactly will we get them to drink it?" Andros asked.

"They don't have to drink it," Demona told him. "Just pour it into the Astro Blasters and fire. Once it hits them, they'll at least be good."

Jenny snatched the potion, which was in a heart-shaped bottle. "No way. I don't agree with this plan. Love potions only cause trouble. Don't you know the dangers of tampering with something as delicate as emotions?"

Suddenly, the alarm went off.

"The Psycho Rangers are terrorizing Angel Grove," Deca announced.

"Again....." the Cryptkeeper mumbled.

"There's no time to argue," T.J. said. "Let's go."

"Damn....." Jenny growled as she followed her friends to the jump tubes.

The Rangers and Spices were in Angel Grove in seconds. The Psychos were walking along while innocent people scrambled to get away from them.

"Hey, looking for us?" T.J. called.

"Oh, especially you, Blue Ranger," Psycho Blue said.

"Okay. We've got something up our sleeves that you're going to love!" C.C. called. "Get ready for it!"

The Psychos struck a fighting stance as Jenny stepped forward. She smiled, once again imitating her mother.

"Do you want it?" she asked.

"We want it," Psycho Red replied.

"Do you want it?" Jenny asked again.

"We want it," Psycho Red repeated.

"You asked for it."

The warriors plunged into battle. The Rangers fought the Psycho of their own color while the Spices helped out. When Psycho Red knocked Andros away with his sword, Andros stood up quickly. He pulled out his Spiral Saber and attached it to his Astro Blaster. He then attached a nozzle to the tip, then poured the love potion into the Blaster, and aimed.

"Andros, I would highly recommend against firing that thing," Jenny warned.

Andros ignored her and fired. Psycho Red dodged the shot. The blast hit Psycho Pink, who was fighting Cassie, Spinal, and C.C. Psycho Pink was blown into Psycho Yellow, and they fell to the ground together.

"Oh my God, he fired it," the Cryptkeeper mumbled. He pulled Psycho Black off Carlos, punched him several times, and forced him away with a spin kick. The Rangers and Spices regrouped as the female Psychos stood up slowly. When they looked up, the first one they both saw was Spinal. Psycho Pink sighed softly as she dragged her feet over to him. Psycho Yellow followed in the same manner.

"You are just about the cutest little thing I have ever seen," Psycho Pink sighed.

"What!?" Spinal gasped.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have the most beautiful eyes?" Psycho Yellow asked.

"Yes.....all the time," Spinal stammered. "N-N-Now go away."

"Let's see.....what was your name again?" Psycho Pink asked.

"My name isn't important," Spinal snapped.

"I'll bet your name's Mickey, because you're so fine," Psycho Yellow sang. "You're so fine--"

Spinal jump-kicked both of them simultaneously before she could continue.

"That's not his name!" Psycho Pink cried. "I remember now; his name's Spinal. And he's mine!"

"Oh no, you don't!" Psycho Yellow shouted. "He's mine!"

"Oh stop!" Spinal cried.

Psycho Pink ran up and grabbed him. "Unless you want me to destroy him now, let's get this straight. He's mine!"

"If you destroy him, then he won't be yours anymore," Psycho Yellow replied.

"I told you so," Jenny mumbled to her friends.

The male Psychos stepped in.

"We don't have time for this!" Psycho Red shouted. "We must destroy the Power Rangers!"

"Who cares about the Power Rangers?" Psycho Pink asked. "All I care about is my newfound love. Oh Spinal, where have you been all my life?"

"For the final time, he's mine!" Psycho Yellow cried, snatching Spinal.

"And I told you that he's mine!" Psycho Pink snatched him back.

"Cut it out!!" Spinal screamed. "Let me go!! Help me, you guys!!"

C.C. stormed up and snatched Spinal from both of them. "I'll settle this nonsense once and for all. Neither of you can have him; he's mine!!"

Jenny rushed over to attack the female Psychos. When she knocked them back, Psycho Red approached and fired a massive blast at her. The blast blew right through her left shoulder. Jenny groaned in pain as she fell to the ground. The Blue and Black Psychos restrained the female Psychos and they all vanished. C.C. turned to Andros.

"Now you've done it, Andros," she said. "Jenny was right all along. Love potions really are nothing but trouble."

"Speaking of Jenny...." the Cryptkeeper began, pointing at Jenny's unconscious body. She was now lying in a puddle of blood.

Spinal was sobbing in humiliation. "What am I gonna do?" he asked. "Now I've got Astronema AND the female Psychos all over me. Help....."

The Cryptkeeper picked up Jenny. "We'd better get Demona to come up with an antidote."

"I say we just kill them altogether," C.C. said. "They've gone far enough already."

The group teleported out of Angel Grove.

* * *

Jenny woke up suddenly. She was in the infirmary of the Astro Megaship. There were several gauze sheets over her wounded shoulder. The blood had stained her white T-shirt. Instead of finding her friends standing around her, she found......Darkonda.

"Tonfa Spice.....you're awake," he said calmly.

"Darkonda......what happened?" Jenny asked.

"I couldn't just leave you down there to bleed to death, could I?"

He placed his hand on the table that Jenny was lying on. She sat up and gasped.

"Mind if I sit down?" Darkonda asked.

Jenny sighed with relief as he sat on the table.

"Poor thing....." he said softly as he reached over to her wound.

Suddenly, the door slid open and Psycho Red stepped inside.

"What the hell!?" Jenny cried.

Without a word, Psycho Red held out his hand and fired a deadly energy beam......

* * *

Jenny woke up again, sitting up quickly. She was still in the infirmary, but this time, her friends were there. When she sat up, they rushed over to her.

"Hey, it's okay," Ashley said.

"What happened!?" Jenny cried, this time in panic.

"Well, we couldn't just leave you down there to bleed to death, could we?" Zhane asked.

He placed his hand on the table, and Jenny scooted back. Zhane paused.

"Mind if I sit down?"

Jenny sighed with relief as Zhane sat down.

"Poor thing...." He reached over to touch her would.

"Zhane, don't touch it!" the Cryptkeeper cried. "Gross!"

Jenny suddenly flew off the table, expecting Psycho Red to appear in the doorway again. Fortunately, nothing happened as the others restrained her.

"Hey, take it easy," Cassie suggested.

Ruth touched Jenny's forehead. "Jenny, you're burning up!"

Jenny sighed wearily with relief as she reclined back on the table. "That stupid love potion; I told you it wouldn't work!"

"Hey, the love potion worked," the Cryptkeeper told her. "The Pink and Yellow Psychos are just smitten with Spinal."

"Of course they are! They'll stop at nothing to get their hands on him!"

"Since they're fighting over him, maybe they'll end up killing one another. They may end up killing the other Psychos if they get in the way."

"I am doomed....." Spinal mumbled. "Again!"

"Hey, we'll see this through," C.C. told him. "Don't panic."

"How could I not panic?"

"Come on," Andros told the others. "We need to figure out a new plan."

"Jenny, you just stay here and get some rest," Ashley said.

"You're going to need it," Zhane added.

The others left the room. Jenny stared up at the ceiling.

* * *

The Psycho Rangers except Pink entered the Dark Fortress.

"Why are you here, Psychos!?" Astronema demanded.

"Something's wrong with Pink and Yellow," Psycho Red told her. "They've suddenly fallen in love with Spinal Spice."

"Psycho Pink knows that I'm the more powerful one; therefore, Spinal is mine," Psycho Yellow added.

"You fail to realize something, Psycho Yellow," Astronema said. "Spinal belongs to no one......but me."

"The Red Ranger did this!" Psycho Black cried. "That blast he fired was contaminated with some kind of love potion!"

"Find a way to neutralize it now," Astronema ordered. "This love potion is causing disastrous results."

Psycho Yellow started out of the room.

"Where do you think you're going?" Astronema asked.

"I'm going off to daydream some more," Psycho Yellow replied.

She sighed as she danced her way out of the room. Astronema looked at the male Psychos.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Get to work!"

The male Psychos left the Dark Fortress.

* * *

Meanwhile, Psycho Pink was in a separate quarters picking pedals off a flower.

"He loves me.....he loves me, not," she sighed. "He loves me.....he loves me......not!"

That was the last pedal. She stood up, threw the flower stem on the floor and stomped on it.

"Oooh, you stupid flower!!"

Psycho Yellow entered the room. "Psycho Pink, guess what? Astronema wants Spinal all to herself."

"What!? Are you serious?" Psycho Pink asked.

"Of course I'm serious. Would I lie?"

"No way. Astronema must not be involved. She knows that Spinal will be mine!"

"No, no, no.....he's mine."

"What makes you think that you deserve him?"

"I'm the more powerful one," Psycho Yellow said.

"Oh yeah? I have the perfect aim." Psycho Pink aimed her bow at cardboard cut-outs of the Rangers. She fired one shot, which struck through the hearts of the cut-outs.

"Big deal," Psycho Yellow scoffed. "I think we'd better draw Astronema out of the picture first. Then the battle will be just between you and me."

"Okay," Psycho Pink agreed. "But when this is over, Spinal will be mine!"

"No, he's mine!" Psycho Yellow cried.

"He's mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

The male Psychos stormed into the room as the females screamed at each other.

"Not yours!" Psycho Pink shouted.

"But mine," Psycho Yellow retorted.

"Psychos, stop this immediately!" Psycho Red demanded. "You're supposed to be evil; you don't fall in love with anyone!

"But I can't help it!" Psycho Pink complained. "Spinal's just so cute!"

"You really must agree with us, Psycho Red," Psycho Yellow added. "He is, you know, rather sexy."

"I think I may hurl," Psycho Blue mumbled.

"You must come to your senses!" Psycho Red continued. "Remember our primary goal: To destroy the Power Rangers and the Spice Club."

"We're not destroying Spinal," Psycho Pink said.

"Astronema doesn't want him destroyed anyway," Psycho Black said.

"Good," the female Psychos said in unison.

"Whatever it is about Spinal, you're going to have to get over it!" Psycho Blue told them. "At least until we destroy the others."

"Then afterwards, Spinal is mine," Psycho Pink said.

"Nah-uh; he's mine!" Psycho Yellow spat.

"He's mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Enough!!!!" Psycho Red practically screamed. "Now quit your bickering and let's go get those Rangers!"

The Psychos left the quarters, the females softly growling at each other.

* * *

Cassie walked through the hall pushing a cart with a meal. She walked into the infirmary.

"I thought you might be hungry, so I brought you a little something," she said.

Jenny sighed. "I'm not really hungry.....just bored," she said, sitting up. "Ah, what the hell? How could a little meal hurt?"

She lifted up the lid to reveal a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. "Oh, PBJ's, my favorite!"

"Enjoy!" Cassie left the room. Seconds later, Spinal came in.

"Feeling better?" he asked.

"Mmm.....the same," Jenny replied. "How about you?" She gave him an evil smile.

"I'm humiliated, I'm embarrassed, I'm....." Spinal stammered. "I saw your point when you said that love potions cause trouble. But why does all this love trouble have to involve me!? Oh......the HORROR!!!!!"

Jenny laughed. "I couldn't have said it better myself. Those Psychos; they're a bunch of losers. They put a hole in my shoulder! But don't worry, Spinal; I know how you feel. It's happened to me before, remember? Remember that Valentine's Day?"

"Oh yeah. Elgar tried to make you fall in love with him with a love arrow; but the arrow hit General Havoc, then he fell in love with you."

"I wonder what happened to Havoc? He suddenly quit."

"Maybe they found an antidote for him."

"Maybe....." Jenny looked down at the floor and saw something that she feared. The deadly slumber snake that had bitten her before, putting her into a coma. Upon seeing this fearsome reptile, Jenny gasped in horror.

"What's the matter?" Spinal asked.

"It's that snake that bit me!" Jenny cried. "It messed me up bad; it's not going to bite me again."

"Snake? Where?" Spinal asked.

"Right there on the floor; are you blind?"

"I think you're seeing things."

"Damn right, I'm seeing things!" Jenny growled. "And I don't like what I see!" She grabbed the vase which contained a rose and prepared to throw it at the non-existent snake.

"Hey, calm down!" Spinal pleaded. "There is no snake there!"

Jenny threw the vase, which shattered painfully on the floor. Spinal threw his arms in front of his face. Jenny hopped off the table to get a closer look.

"Hey, where'd it go?"

"I told you, there never was a snake around here!"

Carlos and Cassie entered the room.

"What happened? We heard glass shattering," Carlos said.

"Oh, it's okay," Spinal said. "Jenny's imagination was just getting out of control."

Jenny sighed. "I could've sworn I saw it."

"Here, you need to get back in bed," Cassie said. "Aren't you going to eat your sandwich?"

"Nah......I lost my appetite," Jenny told her, reclining back on the bed. "No slumber snake's gonna get me up here."

Carlos and Cassie shrugged as they left the room.

"Maybe you should try to get some sleep," Spinal suggested. "Maybe it'll heal you a little."

"I don't know if I can fall asleep," Jenny said. "My shoulder hurts too much."

"Just try." Spinal started out of the room. "I've got something bigger to worry about."

Jenny closed her eyes and attempted to sleep. But the pain in her shoulder wouldn't allow it. After about a half-hour, she gave up.

"I can't sleep," she told herself. "Let's see what the others are up to...."

She got up and walked down the hallways.

"Hello? Anyone around here?"

As she walked on, she felt a wet drop on her forehead. When she wiped it off with her fingers and looked at it, it was think and red. It was blood! Jenny looked up to see that the blood was leaking out of Deca.

"Deca??"

Suddenly, the blood began spraying out onto Jenny. She staggered against the wall, covering her face. She remained in that position until T.J. grabbed her shoulder.

"You okay?" he asked.

Jenny looked at her hands, which were surprisingly clean. Then she looked up at Deca, who was also clean. All the blood was gone! The only blood left was the blood from Jenny's shoulder.

"I don't believe this," she muttered.

"Believe what?" T.J. asked.

"Never mind, never mind."

"What were you doing out of bed anyway?"

"I got bored......everything was quiet......it was scary......"

"Well, don't worry; we're all here. And if we do leave the ship, we'll be sure to let you know first, okay?"

"Well......okay," Jenny said.

"Great. Let's get you back to sick bay," T.J. said.

He walked her back to the infirmary.

"T.J., how am I supposed to pass the time?" Jenny asked. "It's boring here, and I feel so useless!"

"Have you tried sleeping?"

"Yes; it didn't work."

"Well......I wish I knew how to help."

"Well......maybe I'll try sleeping again. Maybe I'll be more successful."

"Okay. Good night," T.J. said.

Jenny lay back on the bed and started to sleep. A vision filled her mind; a vision of Zordon, sitting unguarded in the sand dunes.

"Jenny......help me......" he groaned.

"Zordon? Where are you?" Jenny asked.

"I am on the planet of Forza," Zordon told her. "You must hurry, or I will be gone forever."

Jenny woke up suddenly. "I'm coming!" she called aloud. She jumped out of the bed and raced into the jump tube room. No one was in there.

Jenny paused, wondering if she should call the others first. However, the Rangers' lockers suddenly flew open by themselves. Jenny was so frightened, she immediately dove through the yellow tube.

* * *

"Hey, has anyone seen Jenny?" Cassie asked.

"I thought she was in the infirmary," T.J. said.

"Not anymore."

"Jenny has left the ship," Deca said.

"Where did she go?" the Cryptkeeper asked.

"To the surface of the desert planet of Forza," Deca responded.

"Why?" Carlos asked.

"The reason is unknown."

Demona then entered the room. "I did it! I finished the antidote."

"Great! Now how are we going to bring the Psychos out?" Andros asked.

"I have an idea," the Cryptkeeper said. "Have Spinal write a love letter to them."

"What!? No way; that is out of the question!" Spinal cried.

"Spinal, it's the only way," Ashley told him.

"Do I have to? Which Psycho Ranger do I write to?"

"Good question," C.C. said. "Neither of them will stop at anything to get their greedy little mitts on him."

"Just write the note and send it to the Dark Fortress," Ruth said. "Don't address it to either of them."

"But what if something goes wrong?" Spinal asked. "What if Astronema reads it?"

"Oh, you won't have to worry about that," the Cryptkeeper said. "I'm sure the Pink and Yellow Psychos will snatch it right out of her hands."

"Okay, Spinal, here's what the note should say....." Andros began.

* * *

Meanwhile, Jenny flew her galaxy glider around the planet Forza. She didn't see anything, so she hopped off the glider for a closer look around. Still, she found nothing. As she walked along the empty sand dunes, she realized something.

"Oh no......what if Zordon was just another illusion or dream?" she thought. "But then again, maybe it was real! Maybe we're finally getting somewhere!"

* * *

In the Dark Fortress, the Psychos were still arguing with each other while Astronema was pondering. Suddenly, a small light flashed in the center of the room. When it disappeared, a fancy envelope fell to the floor.

"What's this?" Ecliptor asked.

"It's a love note!" Psycho Yellow said. "It has to be from Spinal!"

"I'll get it!" Psycho Pink called.

"No, I'll get it!" Psycho Yellow growled.

Both female Psychos dove onto the envelope simultaneously, then wrestled over it.

"Give me that!" Psycho Yellow cried.

"No way; it was written for me!" Psycho Pink cried.

"How do you know!?"

The male Psychos turned their backs and sighed in frustration. Finally, Psycho Pink gained possession of the envelope. Psycho Yellow tried to snatch it, but Psycho Pink pulled it back. Psycho Yellow stomped her foot angrily.

Psycho Pink opened the envelope eagerly and read the note aloud.

" `Meet me at the Angel Grove warehouse at 3:00. Signed, Spinal.' "

Psycho Pink held the note against her chest and sighed. "Oh, he really does love me after all!"

"Wait a minute; let me see that!" Psycho Yellow snatched the note and looked at it. "How do you know that this note is for you? I don't see your name on it."

"I didn't see your name on it either," Psycho Pink snapped. "I read the note, so I should go!"

"You're the crybaby. Spinal needs someone mature, like me."

"You!? You're as mature as a two-year-old!"

"Why you....."

"Face it, Psycho Yellow. Spinal is mine!"

"No way; he's mine!" Psycho Yellow cried.

"He's mine!" Psycho Pink cried.

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Quiet!" Astronema finally shouted. "There's only one way to settle this. All of you will go......and bring Spinal back."

"Not again!" Psycho Red cried.

"He's just a little twerp!" Psycho Black added.

"Maybe.....but he's an adorable little twerp," Astronema said. "I want him brought to me.....no matter what it takes. And I just may let Pink and Yellow have a go at him."

The female Psychos sighed simultaneously.

"Let's go," Psycho Red told the others.

The Psycho Rangers left the Dark Fortress.

"My Princess, Tonfa Spice has been located on the planet Forza," Ecliptor said.

"Hmm? What is she doing there?" Astronema asked.

"It's hard to say, but she is alone and weakened."

"Excellent. Darkonda!"

Darkonda entered the room. "Yes, my queen?"

"Tonfa Spice is on the planet Forza," Astronema said. "Find her and capture her."

Darkonda grinned. "Consider it done!" He happily left the Dark Fortress.

* * *
_

Jenny continued to explore the desert planet. She climbed on top of a hill and looked about.

"Good grief! I'd pay good money to know what's going on."

As she looked on, she happened to see Zordon......but was he real, or just another illusion? Jenny had to find out, so she ran in the direction. However, as she got closer, the Zordon image disappeared. Jenny stopped and groaned in frustration.

"Oh man! It was just another illusion!" she cried. "I can't believe this! What is wrong with me!?"

Now she heard Quantrons humming behind her. She spun around to see an army of them rushing down the hill toward her.

"Oh great!" she cried. "Maybe they're just illusions, too."

She stood calmly as the Quantrons descended upon her. She discovered that the Quantrons were real when one of them punched her brutally in the stomach, then hit her back, knocking her down. Jenny quickly rolled into the Quantrons feet, tripping it over. She stood up and prepared to fight the others. Completely ignoring the pain in her shoulder, she fought them fiercely. However, she still felt the pain, especially when she had to use that arm. Her pain definitely increased when a Quantron kicked her in the wounded shoulder. Jenny screamed in pain as she fell to the ground. She held her shoulder, still groaning. Tears leaked from her eyes. She stood up slowly, sweeping three Quantrons simultaneously. Another attacked with its blade, but Jenny blocked it and snatched it.

"Now, I'm really mad," she growled.

She concentrated on the blade until it began to glow blue. Once it was bright enough, she flung the blade at them. It circled around them, striking each and every one. The Quantrons fell to the ground, unconscious, then they vanished. Jenny sighed wearily as she grabbed her shoulder. It felt wet, so she looked at her hand.

"Oh no....." she groaned. "I'm bleeding again!!"

Her mind began to get hazy from the bleeding and the heat. Finally, she passed out in the sand.

Seeing this, Darkonda casually walked over to her unconscious body. He knelt over her.

"Tonfa Spice, I'm surprise that you managed to defeat the Quantrons. Even in less than perfect health, you are a force to be reckoned with."

He looked down at her some more. She remained still.

"Well, Astronema, I've captured Tonfa Spice. However, you never said that I had to bring her to you."

Jenny's eyes fluttered open slowly. She held up her arm to shield her eyes from the sun and looked up at her husband.

"Darkonda....?"

"It's all right, my love," Darkonda said softly. "I'm here for you."

"What's happening?" Jenny asked. "I'm so scared....."

Darkonda suddenly held his face. "No! The potion must have been tampered with!"

Slime began to ooze out of his body. Jenny gasped in horror.

"Darkonda......no!!"

Darkonda's screaming continued. "This is not over!!" He vanished into thin air.

The next thing Jenny realized, she was sinking into the sand. She held out her arm.

"Darkonda! Come back!!" she screamed. "Help!!!"

But to no avail as Jenny sank below, then darkness.

* * *

"Jenny......Jenny, wake up!" a female voice whispered.

Jenny looked up. She still saw darkness around her, but she also found Astronema standing over her.

"Mother? Am I dreaming?"

"No, you're not dreaming, silly," Astronema said. "I'm right here, see?"

She pointed her finger at Jenny's wounded shoulder and fired her power.....

* * *

Jenny woke up to a sting on her wound. She woke up groaning, then looked around. Now she was in Darkonda's lab. Darkonda was again standing over her, squeezing a cloth. A strange, white liquid dripped from the cloth onto her wounded shoulder.

"Darkonda? What.....what are you doing to me?"

"It's all right, my love," Darkonda told her. "I'm just treating your wound. Sure, it may look strange to you, but it will help; trust me. Now, this may sting a little."

He squeezed some more of the liquid onto her would. Jenny groaned in pain. Then she sat up, gasping.

"Is something wrong?" Darkonda asked.

"Yes, something's wrong," Jenny told him. "I'm having these weird dreams . . . hallucinations . . . I can't even tell what's real anymore! Darkonda.....help me! Please......help me!!"

"What can I do?"

"Am I dreaming now......as we speak?"

"No. We are real."

"Then.....what happened?"

"You passed out on the planet Forza, so I brought you here," Darkonda said.

"Is that all?" Jenny asked.

"Yeah.....what do you think happened?"

Jenny shook her head. "I don't know. First, I see you standing over me, then this slime gushes out of your body and you disappear. Then I sink into the sand. The next thing I know, Mom is standing over me and she hurts my shoulder even more. Finally, I wake up and I'm here."

"Hmm.....yep, you're having dreams, all right. And you can't seem to tell a dream from reality. The Psycho Rangers messed up more than your shoulder."

"Darkonda, I don't feel good. I want to go home."

"If you think you can make it home from here...."

"Of course I can. All I need is my galaxy glider."

"Well, good luck, my dear."

"But.....there's one other thing....." Jenny began.

"Yes?" Darkonda asked.

"You've helped me out again and again!" Jenny explained. "Just......what do you expect in return?"

"Nothing, of course," Darkonda told her. "As long as I have you, I'll survive. Now get going; the Psychos are about to drive Spinal insane again."

Jenny left the lab and returned to the Astro Megaship.

* * *

Meanwhile, Spinal sat on a crate outside the Angel Grove warehouse. The Rangers and Spices were hiding nearby. Spinal sat there nervously, twirling his thumbs.

"Hurry up; I want to get this over with....." he said to himself.

About a minute later, the Psycho Rangers appeared.

"Uh-oh!" Spinal cried.

"What is it?" C.C. asked through her ring.

"All the Psychos are here."

As the Psychos came closer, Spinal stood up.

"Well, hello, Spinal!" Psycho Pink sighed.

"Tell us.....just whom did you write that note to?" Psycho Yellow asked.

"Oh.....it doesn't matter," Spinal said. "You're all here; that's good enough."

"So, just what did you have planned?" Psycho Red asked.

"Well.....I wanted to end this love potion crisis," Spinal said. "This whole thing has gotten totally out of hand."

"You can say that again!" Psycho Blue commented.

"You don't even have a plan, do you?" Psycho Red asked.

"There's always talking it out," Spinal said.

"Great! Spinal is mine!" Psycho Yellow said. "Psycho Yellow has spoken."

"Psycho Yellow has whined, you mean," Psycho Pink said. "Spinal is mine, and that's all there is to it."

"Now just a minute! You think I'm going to let you have your way with him!?"

"Of course you will."

Psycho Yellow grabbed Spinal. "Well, think again! He's mine!"

"He's mine!" Psycho Pink cried, snatching Spinal from Psycho Yellow.

Psycho Red pulled Spinal from both of them. "Don't start that again!" he ordered. "There's only one way to settle this, and that is to destroy him once and for all!"

"NOOO!!!" the female Psychos cried at once.

"Say good night, Spinal Spice!" Psycho Red said as he drew his sword.

Psycho Yellow snatched Spinal back from Psycho Red. "If you harm him in any way, Psycho Red......" she began.

"He's mine!!" Psycho Pink declared, grabbing Spinal again.

Psycho Yellow spun around. "No, he's mine!!"

"He's mine!!"

Suddenly, some kind of fireball hit the female Psychos, forcing them to release Spinal, who sighed with relief. Then Spinal looked over to see Jenny extending her arm out. She approached the Psycho Rangers calmly.

"Is there a problem, ladies and gentlemen?" she asked.

"Yeah. Pinky here wants Spinal all to herself, but we all know that I deserve him more," Psycho Yellow said.

"And Psycho Yellow is just a whiny two-year-old," Psycho Pink added.

"Do you see what the Red Ranger has done?" Psycho Red asked. "He's distracted us from our destiny......to destroy YOU!!" He pointed his finger directly between Jenny's eyes. "We want to end now!"

"Why?" Jenny asked. "You wanted it."

"Who said we wanted it?" Psycho Black asked.

"Why, Psycho Red, of course," Jenny told him. "I asked you if you wanted it, and you said you wanted it. In fact, you said it twice, so we gave it to you. Now don't tell me that you're not happy."

"I'll be happy once Spinal belongs to me," Psycho Yellow said.

"You might as well give it up," Psycho Pink said. "He's mine!"

"Why is it so difficult to understand that he's mine?!?!?" Psycho Yellow growled, grabbing Spinal.

"Because you know he's mine!" Psycho Pink snatched Spinal back.

"Not again......" Spinal groaned.

Jenny pulled Spinal from both of them. "You have no idea how stupid you both look."

"I hate to say it, but she's right," Psycho Blue said.

"I'll show you who's stupid!" Psycho Yellow attacked Psycho Blue.

"Now, guys!!" Spinal called.

The Rangers and Spices ran out into the open.

"Did I miss something?" Jenny asked.

The Rangers aimed their Quadroblaster and Andros aimed his Spiral Saber weapon with the antidote inside. They all fired simultaneously. Both shots slammed into the Psycho Rangers and exploded. When the smoke cleared, the good guys looked at the flames, but there was no sign of the Psychos.

"Hmm.....I guess that took care of them," Carlos said.

The Psychos stood up and advanced on the group. "Think again, Rangers."

They all rushed into battle again. Psycho Pink soon had Spinal pinned against the wall.

"Heh heh; you're mine, Spinal!" she declared.

Suddenly, something leaped into her and tossed her aside. Spinal gasped and looked at the pair. He could believe what he saw.

"Fulgore!!"

Fulgore stood up and looked at Spinal. He spread his arms out. "Guess who's back!?"

The other Psychos noticed Fulgore's arrival.

"Laser Spice!?" Psycho Red cried. "I thought we destroyed you."

"I was built to withstand more than what you've got!" Fulgore told him. "You've messed with us for the last time."

"We're smarter, stronger, and more disciplined than you!" Jenny shouted. "Your pride will cost you your lives!!"

"Take this!!" Fulgore fired lasers from his eyes and claws. His aim traveled back and forth at all the Psychos. Once he was satisfied, he stopped firing. The Psycho Rangers slowly collapsed, then exploded. The Rangers and Spices cheered.

"And that is the END of the Psycho Rangers!" Andros announced.

"I'm not going to miss them a bit," Ashley added.

"Fulgore, I see that you're back," Jenny said. "Or is it just another one of my hallucinations?"

"No, I'm real," Fulgore said. "And it's great to be back. No way am I going down on my first fight."

"Fulgore!!" Spinal ran up and hugged his partner.

"Hello, Spinal. Did you miss me?"

"I thought you were gone forever......again!"

"Well, I'm not gone. Tell you what; let's go back up to the Megaship, and we'll all have a nice, long chat."

"Yeah!" the others cried.

"You're not going to tie me up, are you?" Spinal asked.

"Mmm.......maybe."

Everyone laughed, then teleported up to the Megaship.

So love potions really are nothing but trouble. At least the Psychos were destroyed, and all Spinal has to worry about now is Astronema. Fulgore was back in action, and Jenny's shoulder eventually healed. What challenge awaits the Rangers and Spices now?
