Becoming Worthy: Axe

3rd in the series. As usual, credit for this concept goes to power_rangers_psycho_zeo on IG. Ft. my canon-divergent Charlie.

Axe wasn’t exactly thrilled about the idea of having an out of body experience, even if it did result in phenomenal cosmic power. As it turned out, however, he didn’t have to. 

They’d dropped down to a trade planet for supplies. None of them had sensed or expected any danger, so they’d split up to cover more ground. Axe, unfortunately, found himself right in the middle of a fire fight between a red ranger version of Robocop and a group of creatures that were probably native to that planet. Laser fire whizzed past his ear, and a loud boom echoed above his head.

“Careful there, bud, you almost ate it.” The ranger had apparently blasted whatever had been trying to blast him. “Best get out of the way, unless you can fight, in which case do you mind covering me? I called for backup a half hour ago and I’m still waiting.” She ducked behind a rock. “Yippee yi ki yay mother-”

“You have any idea who you’re talking to?” Axe asked. What kind of ranger she was he didn’t know, but she was still a ranger. And she was asking him for help. Not demanding-asking.

“Listen buddy, I don’t care if you’re the devil himself. If you can fight to some degree, I could use all the help I can get. Otherwise, stay back and watch yourself, okay?” She got up and ran forward, dodging laser fire.

Well, he couldn’t stay out of a fight, ranger or no ranger. It wasn’t the psycho way, after all. Axe sighed and transformed into his psycho form, speeding to the opposite side and summoning his weapon.

“Psycho ranger huh? That’s interesting,” he could hear the ranger murmuring as she fought alongside him. “Can I get your autograph after this? The cadets back home won’t believe it.”

“You’re kidding, right?” Axe slashed and weaved in and out of the fight with ease. This ranger was insane.

“Nope,” she replied. 

Between the two of them, they were able to dispatch the rest rather quickly. Charlie actually managed to arrest them all-Axe hadn’t killed them, as they hadn’t been into killing much lately. 

“Thanks for the assist, by the way,” she said. “Name’s Charlie. I’m what’s left of SPD A Squad. The rest went traitor.” She was about to reply further when a ship landed and out came the time force rangers-well, minus Wes. “Well it’s about damn time,” Charlie said. “If it hadn’t been for this guy, I’d be smuggler bait.”

“There are smugglers out there too,” Trip retorted, pointing out into space. 

“Speaking of him, he and the other psycho rangers are wanted on several planets for a multitude of crimes, including-” Jen started to say.

“He’s not going anywhere.” The other psychos had arrived, minus Trek, who’d figured they could handle things well enough. 

“Just try us, rangers,” Virgil said. “It won’t come out in your favor.”

The time force rangers tensed for a fight, and Jen looked to Charlie. “You know we have to bring them in-they’re wanted in a multitude of-”

“Wrong,” Charlie said. “They’re not wanted on this planet, and unless you have prove they’ve committed any crimes here today, then you have nothing on them. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but aside from answering distress calls, your jurisdiction is time disturbances unless it’s your own time and place. Which it isn’t, correct?”

“Oh come on, you can’t seriously be-” Jen protested. “They have to answer for-”

“You rangers think you’re so high and mighty,” Nokrea said. “I’d like to show you-”

Photon held up a hand for silence, and Nokrea went quiet. All the psychos tensed, ready to fight but waiting to see how the scene would play out. 

“SPD handles criminals all over the galaxies,” Charlie went on. “However, as I’ve said, they aren’t wanted on this planet and there’s likely no proof they committed any crimes here today. But regardless of that, he and they would be under my jurisdiction as an SPD officer. And today, I’m dealing with smugglers. Smugglers that happened to be dealt with with the assistance of a psycho ranger. The smugglers are dealt with, so you may stand down.”

“I’m not letting them go,” Jen said. “I’m not, not after-”

“They’re my jurisdiction, not yours,” Charlie said. “And I’m letting them go. I suggest you stand down, because I’m pretty damn sure they’ll fight you, and while ranger code obligates me to prevent them from killing you, it doesn’t obligate me to stop them from defending themselves or their comrade.”

There was silence, followed by a staredown. Finally, Jen assented. “Fine. We’re done here. But I won’t forget this.” 

“Oh, I can’t imagine you will,” Charlie replied lightly, watching them go. After their ship had lifted off, she muttered, “Next time Crueger’s sending me with backup.”

The psychos glanced at her with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. Finally Axe asked,”Why?”

“You helped me, I help you. Besides, I was telling the truth. They don’t have a right to arrest you for anything unless you’re time hopping-or maybe going on a maiming spree. But you’re all right, psycho ranger.” Charlie held out a hand to him.

Axe stared at her hand for a moment, uncertain. But then he shook it, and as he did, he could feel his uniform change.When he looked down, there was a mixture of psycho and zeo blue. 

“I should recommend you guys for A squad,” Charlie joked. “Man, Crueger would have a heart attack. Anyway, if you need an escort out of here let me know. But thanks again.”
