DISCLAIMER:
All of the
PR characters in this fic are not mine although I wish they were. The song in this fic isn¡¦t mine either it belongs to some
commercial where I come from. This
song doesn't exactly fit in with the concept of this standalone. However, some of it is, and as you read on you will know which parts they
are. Anyways, Power Rangers are the
property of Saban Entertainment & the Fox Network. Hope you enjoy! Comments and
complaints welcomed! :-)
Author's
Note: It
was all Andromeda¡¦s fault!! She
and her salient self! The concept
of the beginning of this fic, also known as the prologue to the standalone,
belongs to Phoenix and Starfire. The
title also belongs to Phoenix.
Timeline: Unlike many of
my stories this starts during "Journey's End" I wasn't able to see it no thanks to WTWB so this might seem a little
different from what the rest of you saw. *smirks*
"Heart of the Ship"
By SpaceRanger
The
red ranger Glanced at the screen and yelled out with a furious tone.
"Fire!" They watched the
blue lasers hit it's mark.
"Oh
no you don't Rangers." Trakeena
screech in a high-pitched voice. She
punched the button and the Scorpion Stinger's pinchers held on to the Megaship
making them unable to get away. Within
it, the rangers held on to the consoles so hard their knuckles turned white
while they tried to keep themselves from being thrown. As soon as the ship became a bit steadier, they hurried with the controls
trying everything they can to save the ship.
"It's
no use!! We have to put the Megaship on self destruct!" Leo said looking up
at the others grimly. "Let's
go guys! INITIATE THE SELF-DESTRUCT
SEQUENCE!!"
"Self-destruction
sequence initiated. Self destruction in 90 seconds."
"Alpha!
Meet us at the Jet Jammer Bay." Leo shouted into his morpher.

Everything's
going to be alright......
She knew it would happen someday and she had no regrets. In every battle she was prepared. Prepared for the ultimate sacrifice of herself in order to protect her crew. She who saw through it all and understood even more.
She was there when her charges was chosen. She was there when some of them had died and when one of them lost everything he cared about. She was there when he had to abandon his home. It was she who persuaded her charge to stop his derogatory manner to the ones she had brought aboard. They were to be his companions in his nostalgic search for peace within himself.
Whoever thought the sun
would come crashin' down
My
life in flames
Life
feels complete with pain
This
is end
The
darkest, deepest riverbed
My
book of life incomplete without you here
A
loneness remedies
Sometimes
I miss your touch, your kiss, your smile
And
meanwhile you know I'd never cry
'Cause
deep down inside you know our love will never ever die
She saw him open up when he thought he was no longer capable. She saw them all fall in love and she saw the miracle that happened to the person once thought dead. She was a battleship and her personal mission was to protect and defend.
She could feel her engines become strenuous and fervent but she couldn't go yet. She had to have meticulous timing. She had to wait until the crew her charge had given her to protect was out of the ship.
Everything's
going to be alright
Everything's
going to be okay
Everything's
going to be alright
Together
we can take this one day at a time
Can
you take my breath away?
Can
you give him life to lay?
Is
everything going to be okay?
I'll
be your strength
I'll
be here when you wake up
Take
your time and I'll be here when you wake up
Uh-huh...
*Flash*
It
was the end of the day and the originals had decided to sleep on the ship before
planning anything else. The only
one awake was her charge. She
angled her camera to see him.
"Are
you alright?" He looked up at
her surprised and nodded
"Yeah..." There was silence before he asked, "What
do you think of them?"
"Who?"
"Those
Rangers." If she could have
shrugged, she would have.
"I
won't know they are hardly ever on the ship." He frowned. "What do you think of them Andros?"
"They
seem too inexperienced to me. I
think this inexperience is due to the fact that they have no mentor to guide
them."
"Do
you really think that or is it because they're planetary rangers from
Earth." He groaned
"Where'd
you hear that?" She chuckled
"From
what the others said."
"Eavesdropping
are we?"
"I
do not eavesdrop. You know that. They asked me about you and quoted what you said." He shook his head.
"I
don't think any of them will ever forget that! Although I'd admit it is part of the reason. However, my other reason is on their skills for fighting
unmorphed."
"You
do know that they don't exactly have the time with their jobs."
"Yeah
but if they don't do that and continue to rely on their morphers to do their
battle they won't stand a chance if somehow someone cuts off the Power." He sighed. "Deca? Would you watch over them?"
"You
mean the way I did with you?" He
nodded.
"That
would not be possible. One, they do
not live on the ship. Two, they are
older then when you were when you received the powers. Three, they have jobs to
attend to."
"But
would you just watch over them give them pointers every now and then?"
"I
would try¡X"
"Promise?"
"I promise Andros."
*End of Flash*
I
never thought my heart would miss a single beat
Caress
your hand as I watch you while you sleep
So
sweet
I
repossess search within
To
find a cure
To
bring you back again
And
the sun will rise
Open
up you eyes
Surprise,
just a blink of an eye
I
tried, I tried to be positive
Yo! Fighters will fight!
Wake up and live!!!
She remembered it clearly. How could she not? She was an artificial intelligence who grew beyond her original program. The one who built her allowed her to do so in order to protect her two remaining charges who was then only ten years old. As she watch the Galaxy Rangers leave the ship she thought, Farewell my friends, all of you. As soon as the rangers were out of range she detonated and her vision grew black.

"¡Xcoming around now!!!!" A familiar voice shouted with excitement. Was that T.J.? The blackness soon turned into blurry vision as a different voice replaced it.
I'd
give my life to only see you breath again
Hand
in hand, as we walk on the white sand
To
hear your voice
Rejoice
as you rise and say
"this
is the day that I'd wait for you okay?"
Today
though as time just move on
You
can hear it go
But
I'm playing my favorite song
I
miss you much, I'd wish you'd come back to me
You
see I'd wait a lifetime 'cause you're my destiny.
"Are you alright?" A familiar voice asked. Andros? She blinked her eyes to clear them and saw Andros, Zhane, and the rest of the original crew, including James, the Phantom Ranger and long-lost brother of Andros, looking down worriedly at her. It took her a few nanoseconds to comprehend that. She looked down at herself startled as they helped her into sitting position.

"Rangers? What happened? How did I get here?" The Lightstar Rangers exchanged a relieved smile.
"Backup generator," Cassie explained with a quirk of her lips. "We had began this construction right after we heard that you had been 'borrowed' by the Galaxy Rangers. If the ship exploded you would be downloaded into this android body. It was Ashley's idea."

"Thank you Ashley." Ashley beamed.
"It was no problem. After all it's the least we could do after all the things you did to help us." Zhane nodded in agreement and gave her a puzzled glance.
"So...What happened out there Deca?" Deca smiled and proceeded to explain.
Everything's
going to be alright
Everything's
