Vengeful Spirit Nos4A2 Chapter 4

The ride into space was strangely relaxing for Ashlen Hopper. She was sitting behind stacked boxes, away from the door's view from when they were opened. Unlike what Ashlen had first thought, there seemed to be a gravity system in the ship and the young witch wasn't floating around. Although, even with gravity, the bigger cargo boxes were still strapped to the bottom of the ship to prevent movement while the smaller boxes remained free. Seeing this Ashlen guessed that the bigger boxes must have been more important than the smaller boxes and could cause damage, or get damaged, if they moved around.
Another thing the witch was grateful for was was the breathable air. Even though Ashlen was now fully aware she was half robot now she didn't know by how much. Actually, for all the witch knew, she didn't actually need air now, not that she could explain how that would work. Back in her living years robots and cyborgs did not exist; at least not to this intelligence. Ashlen barely understood the science of how the robots in her time worked; she was a witch, not a scientist.
Although, in her curiosity, Ashlen decided it would be a good idea to test a few things out as she waited for the ship to land. Besides it would also allow her to know how much of her was actually robotic.
The witch took in a large breath of air and held it as long as she could. While she held her breath Ashlen counted down the time in her head. The cyborg managed to count down three thousand, six hundred before her lungs began to burn and she let out a large breath.
Huh, if I remember correctly, thirty-six hundred seconds is an hour. I've never been able to hold my breath for that long but at least I still need my lungs. The young, but old in spirit, girl thought to herself.
Ashlen sighed as she hung her head and brought her legs up to her chest to wrapped her arms around them. She would never forgive those four creatures for bringing her back to life, let alone brought back to life in outer space. The witch knew that she didn't belong in this time and age. According to what that robot told her she had been dead for over seven hundred years, which was odd. Strangely, Ashlen could remember more of her past living life than her after life.
Probably because eighty-two years are easier to remember than seven hundred.   Ashlen thought to herself again after thinking of the most logical answer.
Becoming bored, Ashlen began to test a few things out to pass the time. Seeing as she was able to summon that smoke bomb, the girl knew she still had her powers. Although she has summoned it with her human hand and Ashlen wanted to know if her magic worked with her robot limbs. So Ashlen began preforming small spells, waving her left hand rather than he right hand to do it. It was bit tricky seeing as, not only because was her left arm robotic, but she was naturally right handed. Although, to her surprise and pleasure, her magic worked.
Another thing that made her magic tricky was that the witch no longer had her wand. While it was true that most witches didn't actually use wands for most things there was some spells that demanded the use of them. Ashlen's expertise in magic was elements and summoning spells. Well elements were really easy, summoning had it's differences. Some summonings, like that smoke bomb, was easy but the bigger things were harder. Her limit size of easy summoning would be around the same size of a turkey. Anything bigger Ashlen would need the use of her wand. Although, as a woman who had lived on her own since she was seventeen, she had found a rather simple way around it.
Another thing Ashlen was talented in, magic wise, was reanimation, or bringing things to life. For the things she couldn't summon Ashlen would ether build the object out of rocks, or another substance, and then cast a spell to turn that thing into what she was trying to summon. Another way Ashlen reanimated  objects was to draw a picture of them and bring them to life. Although that also had it's limits to the size of the object, which would be the size of a baby cow.
Now that Ashlen knew that her powers worked with her robotic arm, the witch past the time casting summoning spells to amuse herself. She more or less summoned more animals than anything else. After a while the cyborg witch would get bored again make the animal disappear. So it was as if she had never summoned them in the first place. Although Ashlen ended up transforming a bird she summoned into peep candy to have something to snack on. The only non animal item Ashlen had summoned was a knee long, dark blue, hooded cloak to cover and keep her body warm.
As soon as the junk food touched her tongue Ashlen could swear she was back in heaven. It had been such a very long time since she had eaten anything in the living world. In the after world food was meant for pleasure as no on actually got hungry as there was no need for it. Now that she was alive again the witch needed to eat and the peep made her realize how hungry she actually was. She quickly scarfed down the rest of the peep in her hunger.
Damn, what was the last thing this body ate? Ashlen thought as she sucked off excess marshmallow that stuck to her fingers. This body was dead before I was summoned into it. Who knows how long it's been since food as been in it. Ashlen's logical side told her.
Having her stomach growl for more food Ashlen summoned more junk food. She counter bags of chips, chocolates, more peeps a bag of gummy bears and a one liter of Dr. Pepper. The cyborg witch knew she should have been summoning something a little more healthy, such as fruit or vegetables, but she didn't want to. It was like because she was summoned into a teenaged body her mind now thought that way. As everyone well knew teenagers were one of the worst to eat nothing but junk especially if their parents weren't around to stop him.
I'll eat something more healthy once this ship lands. I think I heard that man say this ship was heading to Trade World, where ever that is the cyborg thought to herself as she felt her lower stomach start to cramp up. Damn it! I almost forgot about the pressures of needing to pee and I have no idea how long it will be until this thing lands. Not to mention I have to hide so that man doesn't see me jump out. Ashlen thought, frowning as she looked at the empty bottle of pop. Seeing no other choice, Ashlen grabbed the bottle bad pulled down her pants.
To her relief, the witch saw that she also had some underwear on, which also angered her a little. Even if this wasn't her birth body it sent chills up the girl's spine when she thought about being dressed by those weird creatures, which by this time she realized they had to be aliens. She just didn't like the thought of her new body having been naked and then redressed, which then brought the thought if she had a bra on. Well Ashlen planned to check but first... she had to pee.

"You lost the cyborg?! How in the name of Neptune did you manage to do that!?" Commander Nebula yelled at the four rangers. Every one of those rangers flinched nervously under the older human's anger.
After a few hours of searching the four space rangers came up empty hands. With no other choice Buzz and his team were forced to tell their commander what had happened. While Nebula was pleased that the cyborg was complete, and not really bothered that it was female, he blew his top when he was told the girl got away from them.
"Well you see, Commanded, after we summoned her soul she kind of freaked out about being brought back to life. It looked as if she was going to attack us in her anger but she summoned a smoke bomb and ran away." Buzz explained what had happened. The older human glared, placing his hands on his hips as he looked at the other three for an explanation.
"We did go looking for her. We searched everywhere but it seems she is no where on Star Command." Booster added rather quickly before their boss could accuse them of doing nothing. Commander Nebula crossed his arms as he narrowed his eyes at the four accusingly.
"Well why didn't the LGM put a control chip in the brain?" The man asked in irritation. Team Lightyear exchanged glances before looking at the older human again.
"Don't be mad at them, pop. The LGMs didn't add a control chip because we wanted to keep her memories in tacked. A control chip could have prevented her from remembering who she was." XR explained their reasoning. Commander Nebula glared at the robot but was too irritated about the escaped cyborg to snap at XR for calling him dad again.
"Well where in Star Command's name could that girl be? Are you sure you searched everywhere? Did you bother security check the security cameras?" Nebula yelled at the four rangers. The three male rangers looked at each other while Mira fiddled with her fingers.
"Um, well, no we didn't. I guess non of us thought about that." Mira admitted nervously. The peg legged man sighed deeper as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Well maybe you should go to the control room and check the security tapes. Now!" Commander growled in his anger. Without waiting the three living rangers ran towards the control room as XR rolled.
"Yes sir!"

Ashlen was awakened from her nap when she felt the ship shake. Jerking her head towards the window the cyborg noticed the sky was brighter. For a moment she thought that maybe the ship was getting close to a star, or a sun, but then she started to hear sounds. It sounded like a blur of voices and distant traffic.
Well I guess this is my stop. I just hope the air is breathable on this alien planet. Not that I wouldn't mind returning to the after world, I just don't want to die of suffocation. Ashlen thought as she hid behind a large stack of boxes. Moments later the latch opened and the slime green, four eyed male alien  crawled in to grab the boxes.
The cyborg witch watched and waiting until the alien had his back turned. When that happened, being as quiet as she could, Ashlen tip toed towards the door to peak outside. She seemed to be at what would be a loading dock, similar to the ones on Earth although there was no water and this looked to be more like a air port. There was space ships and aliens all around.
The aliens were in all different shapes and sizes. Some looked like mutant creatures from Earth such as cat creatures or mutant slugs. Others looked like the aliens people would rumor about in her life time; green and/or gray skinned, big heads and beady black eyes. Others looked human except for the fact their skin was blue, green or purple. Luckily for the cyborg non of the aliens seemed to notice her yet.
Around the working aliens Ashlen noticed a bunch of tall buildings. What they were made out of Ashlen wasn't too sure, stone or brick maybe, but everything almost had a blue tinge to it. From a distance the cyborg could hear faint voices and the sounds of traffic more clearly now that the latch was opened. Narrowing her eyes, the witch noticed things zipping past the buildings through the allies and they looked like hover cars.
Well, not only is this an alien planet, but it is the future. Hover vehicles are sort of typical. The witch thought to herself as she took her attention back to the aliens. They still hadn't noticed her but it looked like that slime alien was about to return to the ship.
Without wasting any time Ashlen pulled the hood of her cloak over her head before she jumped from the cargo ship. Once her feet touched the ground she began to run to the tall pill of boxes to hide from the aliens. When she was sure no one was looking, the cyborg would run to another pill of boxes and another until she had made it to the building near by. Once she reached the ally she picked up her speed and didn't look back.
