Andros' Daughter
Disclaimer: Don't own the Power Rangers. Just Eris and her friends!
Summary: It's seventeen years after the Countdown to Destruction and the rangers get together for a reunion and they bring their families. Eris Morana Yanisin is Andros and Ashley's first born child. And their daughter. Very slight Ashley bashing, more Andros bashing. R&R for me please!
AN: This is kind of a sad story, so be forewarned. Also, you'll see Eris commonly referred to as Elektra by her cousin Cami, their friends, and practically everyone else mostly because Cami, their friends, and everyone else can't stand to call her Eris.
Chapter One- Eris Morana Yanisin
Ashley Hammond, the former Yellow Space Ranger and wife of Andros, the Red Space Ranger, was in labor with her and Andros' first child. She and Andros both had a feeling it would be a son that would be born to them. They had picked the name Alexandre, defender of man. They hadn't even considered a girl's name because they felt that it was a boy. They were wrong.
Ashley's doctor, Mayarrah, said, smiling at Ashley. "One last, push, Ashley, then you have your baby!"
Andros sat behind Ashley and she pushed. Mayarrah smiled and when they heard their baby cry, she said, shocking them. "It's a girl!"
Andros asked, blinking. "A girl?"
Mayarrah nodded and asked, smiling at Andros. "A beautiful baby girl. Care to cut the umbilical cord, Dad?"
Andros walked over and stared down at his daughter. She stared back at him with his chocolate brown eyes. Andros took the scissors and cut the umbilical cord.
Mayarrah placed the baby girl on Ashley's stomach and Ashley saw that their daughter was going to be her father's daughter. Ashley asked, once everyone had left and their daughter was wrapped in a red blanket.
"What should her name be? We can't very well name her Alexandre."
Andros looked down at his daughter and replied, disappointment appearing not only in his face, but in Ashley's. They had both been set on having a son who would inherit Andros' morpher. "Eris Morana Yanisin."
Ashley nodded, knowing full well what those names meant. Eris meant Strife, Morana meant death, and Yanisin meant ashamed.
Six years later...
Six year old Eris was playing outside with her cousin, Cameo, who she called Cami, when she scrapped her knee. Eris felt tears sting her eyes and she went in the house to find her Mommy and Daddy, hoping one of them would make her owie feel better. She heard them talking in the living room with her Aunt Karone and her Uncle Zhane. She was about to go into the living room when she heard them mention her name.
"I don't think I'm going to give her my morpher." That was Daddy, Eris thought, frowning. What is he talking about?
"Andros, she's your first born." Aunt Karone.
"She can have Ashley's morpher, but I'm giving Alexandre mine." Eris felt tears sting her eyes as her owie started hurting more.
Eris backed up quietly and then ran to let them know she was in the house. Eris stopped just short of entering the living room and said, blinking back tears.
"Mommy, I hurt my knee."
Ashley smiled softly at her daughter. "Let's go get it cleaned up, shall we?" Eris nodded and took her Mommy's hand.
Eris had known that her father was disappointed in her, but she was never sure about her mother. There were times when her Mommy loved her like no other, but there were other times when her Mommy ignored her, as she and Daddy fawned over Eris' younger brother, 5 year old Alexandre. As a result, Alexandre was spoiled.
Eris watched as her mommy cleaned and bandaged her scraped knee and kissed it, making Eris giggle. Ashley smiled and said, kissing her daughter's forehead.
"There we are! All better?"
Eris nodded, smiling. "All better." Ashley smiled.
"Good. Now, go back to playing with your cousin, Cami." Eris nodded and raced back outside to play with Cami.
Cami noticed a slight change in her cousin's behavior and sighed. She knew how her cousin was treated, but there really wasn't anything she could do for Elektra. She said, hugging Elektra.
"Pay them no mind, Elektra, you'll be the bestest ranger there ever was when we get to the Karovan Ranger Academy." Elektra smiled and she and Cami continued to play until Cami left.
Six years later...
12 year old Eris was at the Ranger Academy on KO-35. She, her cousin, Cami, and their four best friends, Faolan of KO-35, Torin of KO-35, Nicolae of KO-35, and Violca of KO-35, were sitting at their regular table, eating dinner. Eris was in red, Cami was in pink, Faolan was in Blue, Torin was in Silver, Nic (as they called him) was in Black, and Violca was in yellow. They were an odd group of friends, but they were the best of them.
Eris was the oldest of the six. She had her mother, Ashley's, thick, wavy hair, but her dual toned hair color came from her father, Andros. She had her mother's face shape, but her father's chocolate colored eyes with flecks of blue from her paternal grandmother, Mailin. Eris was the broodiest of the five and the one who practiced the hardest.
Cami was the second oldest and had her mother, Karone's, blond hair, her father, Zhane's, blue eyes, and her mother's features. She was the smiley one of the group and the one who kept everyone's spirits up.
Faolan was the quiet one of the group and the third oldest. He had short, black hair with shocking blue eyes and a frame that promised to be muscular and tower over his female teammates at 5'9 and growing. His skin was always tan and he practiced alongside Eris.
Nicolae was the third youngest and the broodiest one after Eris. His parents didn't want him and sent him off to the academy just after he was olden enough. He despised his parents and they had nothing to do with each other.
Nic stood 5'9'' tall with, shoulder length, Mahogany brown hair and serious, dark blue eyes that showed signs of being older than he was. He had broad shoulders and was already starting to build muscle at 12. He had tan skin and his hands were calloused from all the work he did with Elektra and Faolan.
Torin was the second youngest and the clown. He had sparkling, mischievous, light green eyes, dark blond hair, and promised to be just as muscular and tall as Faolan. His skin was also bronzed by the sun and he always had a smile on his face.
Violca was the youngest of the group with the shortest temper. She had long, auburn red hair, blue-green eyes, a small nose, and a porcelain complexion. She was the practical one of the group, always lending an ear when her friends needed it.
Together, they were the best team the Karovan Ranger Academy had seen in years. They knew each other's moves and when they sparred, other teams were envious of their ability to read each other like a book. They were known as the "Dream Team" and the Commanders, Tykwa and Kinwan were definitely not going to break them up. They showed the most potential for harnessing the Power since Eris' father, Andros, had been at the Academy with Cami's father, Zhane.
Four years later: Presentation of the Morphers
Eris, Faolan, Cami, Nic, Violca, and Torin were standing on a stage in front of a large crowd that contained the former Space Rangers. Eris, Faolan, Cami, Nic, and Violca, with the exception of Torin who was wearing a black uniform, white shirt, and black boots, wearing gray space uniforms with black boots and white shirts. Once they received their morphers, their shirts would change to the color that corresponded to what Ranger they were.
Cami muttered out of the corner of her mouth as Kinwan continued his lengthy speech on "what a momentous day it was for the six trainees" standing behind him.
"Why doesn't he just get it over with already?" Cami's mother, Karone, shot her a look and Cami rolled her eyes.
Eris gave one of her rare smiles to her cousin and said, her lips barely moving. "Because he's torturing Tor."
Cami struggled to hold in her laughter and Tykwa raised an eyebrow at them. They straightened up and Kinwan said as Tykwa walked over to him with a box in her hands. "Today, these six trainees behind me who have worked so hard to get to where they are today, become the new defenders of KO-35 and the Universe. In this box, are the six Astro Morphers that they will use with great reverence and great respect to protect KO-35 and the universe." Kinwan opened the box and said, nodding to Torin. "Step forward, Torin of KO-35." Torin walked over to his commander and Kinwan said, taking out the digimorpher. "Torin of KO-35, do you accept your mission as an Astro Ranger to help keep the universe safe from evil?"
Torin nodded. "I do accept, Commander Kinwan."
Kinwan smiled. "Then it gives me great pleasure to present you with the Digimorpher. Once you hit the access code of 3-3-5, you will morph into the Silver Space Ranger." Torin grinned broadly and shook hands with Commander Kinwan as his shirt went from white to silver. Kinwan said, whispering into Torin's ear. "Don't do too much damage to the Megaship Mark III, please? I'd hate to have to have another constructed so soon after it was just given to the newest team."
Torin grinned. "No problemo, el chiefo." Kinwan chuckled and Torin stepped off to the side.
"Violca of KO-35, step forward." Violca stepped forward. "Violca of KO-35, do you accept your mission as an Astro Ranger to help keep the universe safe from evil?"
Violca nodded. "I accept, Commander." Kinwan smiled and took out an Astro Morpher.
"It gives me great pleasure to hand this Astro morpher to you, Violca of KO-35. Once accessed by the code, 3-3-5, you will morph into the Yellow Space Ranger." Violca took the morpher and her shirt changed from white to Yellow. She smiled slightly and went over to stand next to Torin.
"Nicolae of KO-35, step forward." Nic stepped forward and held his head high. "Nicolae of KO-35, do you accept your mission as an Astro Ranger to help keep the Universe safe from evil?"
Nic nodded, solemn. "I accept, Commander Kinwan." Kinwan smiled at the young man standing before him and said, taking out an Astro Morpher.
"It gives me great pleasure to hand this Astro Morpher to you, Nicolae of KO-35. Once the access code, 3-3-5, is hit, you will morph into the Black Space Ranger." Nic took the morpher and his shirt went from white to Black as he stood next to his teammates and best friends.
"Cameo of KO-35, step forward." Cami stepped in front of her commander and Commander Kinwan asked, looking at the young woman before him he considered a granddaughter. "Cameo of KO-35, do you accept your mission as an Astro Ranger to help keep the universe safe from evil?"
Cami nodded. "I accept, Commander."
"It gives me great pleasure to hand this Astro Morpher to you, Cameo of KO-35. Once accessed by the code, 3-3-5, you will morph into the Pink Space Ranger." Cami smiled and as she joined her friends, her shirt changed from white to pink.
"Faolan of KO-35, step forward." Faolan stepped forward and Commander Kinwan smiled at him. "Faolan of KO-35, do you accept your mission as an Astro Ranger to help keep the Universe safe from evil?"
Faolan nodded. "I accept, Commander Kinwan."
Kinwan smiled and took out the second to last Astro Morpher. "Then it gives me great pleasure to hand this Astro Morpher to you, Faolan of KO-35. Once you punch in the code, 3-3-5, you will morph into the Blue Space Ranger." Faolan took his morpher and stepped over to where his friends stood, his shirt now blue in color. "Elektra of KO-35, step forward." Eris stepped forward and Commander Kinwan said, smiling. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I must take a moment before I give her the final morpher to speak about the young lady standing before me." He paused, collecting his thoughts before he continued. "I have watched this young woman grow from an adolescent first arriving here at the Academy to a strong, capable, young woman with leadership qualities that I have seen in precious few others. Now, today, she makes history." Kinwan turned back to Eris, who had tears shimmering in her eyes. "Elektra of KO-35, do you accept your mission as an Astro Ranger and as leader of this team to help keep the Universe safe from evil?"
Eris nodded, solemn as ever. "I do, Commander Kinwan."
Kinwan smiled. "Then it gives me great pleasure to hand you this last Astro Morpher. Once you access it by punching in the code, 3-3-5, you will become the first ever Red female Space Ranger and the leader of this team." Eris took the Morpher from Kinwan and her shirt changed to red. She went over to stand with her friends, after strapping her morpher to her wrist.
They formed a line, Eris in the middle, and Eris asked, looking at her friends. "Ready?"
They grinned at her and said in unison. "Ready!"
Eris called out, feeling the Power course through her. "LET'S ROCKET!" They entered their access code and became the Space Rangers.
Everyone in the crowd jumped to their feet and applauded the newest team.
Eris called out, taking a stance. "RED!"
Faolan dropped into his favored stance. "BLUE!"
Violca was next. "YELLOW!"
Nic went next. "BLACK!"
Cami grinned under her helmet. "PINK!"
Torin grinned as rounded out the group. "SILVER!" They were met with a roar of applause. Only one made his way through the crowd, not cheering. That one, was Andros.
