(AN: What if Andros never returned to the Mega-ship after Countdown to Destruction? What if Andros sat behind and watched his friends leave KO-35 and let the love of his life slip away from him?)

(Disclaimer: I do not own the power rangers!)

Andros watched his friends board the Mega-ship to leave KO-35, with Ashley walking the slowest. Everybody turned around and waved goodbye. Ashley was the last one standing by the door, she turned to close it. She kept eye contact with Andros the whole time, not wanting to ever look away. Andros saw the pain in her eyes of their departing from each other. Ashley slammed her palm into the panel that closed the Mega-Ship doors. Andros watched the Mega-ship take off, but once it got up into the air, it exploded into a million pieces, and everybody on board the ship died.


Andros sat up abruptly, "Another nightmare," he said to himself. His dream had never happened, though they did leave, they left safely. Andros misses his friends, he misses fighting with them, he misses hanging out with them, but most of all, he misses Ashley. He couldn't help but think about her. She was the best thing that ever happened to him, and he let her go. He couldn't believe that he let her go! After all she did for him, he broke her heart. He always said that his home was KO-35, but he was wrong. KO-35 may be his home planet where he was birthed, but his REAL home was always with Ashley. Andros finally laid back down and let his thoughts of Ashley drift him back to sleep.

Andros woke up that morning with a massive headache. He went to join Zhane and Karone at breakfast. He didn't eat much, he still had Ashley on his mind. He let her go exactly 9 months ago on that very day. "Man, do I miss her." he thought to himself, or so he thought.

"Miss who, Andros?" He heard Karone ask.

"No one, Karone." He wasn't really in the mood to talk to other people about how he felt, he really never was.

"Ashley." Zhane answered for him.

"Oh, it's okay, Andros. I'm sure she's enjoying her life right now, just like you should be."

Andros believed her, about how she is probably enjoying her life. He didn't think he should be. "Its my own dang fault for letting her go, so I should be miserable!"

"Andros, no you shouldn't! Man, you are just so angry nowadays! I'm sure that you will see her again, you don't need to be so depressed over it. We have jobs to do, you know? And we cant have you so angry all the time."

Andros stood from the table abruptly and angrily said "Speak for yourself! You didn't lose the girl you love! She's sitting right next to you for Christ's sake! How would you feel if you let Karone slip away from you and then never got to see her again?!" Andros quickly stormed out of the room. Zhane stood up to go after him and apologize, but Karone grabbed his hand and gave him a pleading look. "Let him cool off, okay?" Zhane sat back down at the table and put his head in his hands and sighed.

Hours after, Andros sat in his room, not knowing what to do anymore. Then Zhane busted into his room, "Andros! Come on! We're getting a transmission call from The Mega-ship! Its important!" Andros and Zhane ran to the main Bridge of their ship (Which had been given to them when they stayed behind on KO-35 but was not allowed to leave KO-35). Zhane began frantically pressing buttons until finally the large screen caught the image what seemed to be the Space Rangers but they were standing outside the Mega-ship. The rangers looked beat up! TJ had scratches on this helmet and a few burn marks as if he had been slashed with a sword a couple times. The other rangers looked about the same until Andros looked at Ashley. It looks like she had gotten most of the beating. There were many more slash marks and her helmet looks like it could have shattered at any minute. TJ's voice interrupted Andros' thoughts, "Andros, Zhane! Help!" He was struggling to talk, he kept gasping for air while holding his right side, "Help us! We were ambushed by unknown creatures! They took down the Mega-Ship and now they're after Ashley! We don't know why, but they obviously want to hurt her. We don't know what they can do, they're taking us down. We aren't strong enough to take them. We need-" TJ quickly stopped talking and quickly turned to Ashley and lunged for her as she fainted. TJ was able to catch her in his arms. She wasn't strong enough to stay morphed, so her faint caused her to demorph. Cassie and Carlos quickly ran to Ashley and Cassie was trying to wake her. Andros' heart sank to the floor. TJ began speaking to Carlos and Cassie, though he could be heard by Zhane and Andros, "Guys, Get her to the Med-Bay! She's not waking! She's not strong enough, Hurry, Go run some tests! I'll finish up here." Andros watched as Carlos picked Ashley up from TJ's arms and slung her limp body over his shoulder. Andros watched Carlos and Cassie quickly board the Mega-Ship. TJ returned to the screen, "We need your help, We cant do this alone! Those creatures will be back for Ashley, we don't know when nor why they are after her. We don know what to do, we cant get DECA back online and the ship needs lots of repairing, and all this will give them enough time to get their hands on Ashley. We are on the planet Sofanze, you must hurry guys!"

The screen went black. Andros stood there replaying Ashley's limp and beaten body in his head. "We have to save them!" He cried out as he looked at Zhane.

"I will contact the Council and talk them into letting us take the ship. You go ahead and start checking all engines and make sure everything is in place. I will go talk to Karone first." Andros nodded his head and began checking the ship. He knew that he had to save Ashley. He just had to!

He kept wandering what they wanted with Ashley. Then he began to think about what would have happened if the rangers would have failed and let the creatures take Ashley. But then he winced because he knew what would have happened. They would have killed her.

And Andros then realized, that if they don't get there soon enough, that the creature WILL find Ashley, and she WILL die.
