Stranded Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Power Rangers In Space. Naruto is own by Masashi Kishimoto and Power Rangers In Space is own by Disney. I don't make money off this story. AN: This story takes place a year after Naruto comes back from his three years of training and three weeks after the start of Power Rangers In Space.
A few miles outside the Village Hidden in the Leafs 16 year old Sakura Haruno was going back from a mission in the Land of Rain and was leaping from tree to tree trying to get back to the village as fast as she could. After a few minutes of leaping from tree to tree Sakura stop to rest for a few minutes to gather her strength. As she was sitting Sakura took out a gold chain from under her vest and look at the gold coin that was attach to it with a picture of a Velociraptor on it that her mother the Fifth Hokage Lady Tsunade had given her as a good luck charm. As she was looking at the coin Sakura thought about everything that had happen during the last year since Naruto had come back to the village. She thought about how they tired their hardest to bring back their teammate Sasuke only for him to be killed by Naruto as Sasuke was out to kill the both of them and how the Akatsuki had been finally wipe out . Sakura also was thinking about how everyone in the village was no longer paying attention to her as her mother had decide to stop training her and giving her low rank missions as she felt Sakura could not handle any higher ones even though Sakura knew she was the best Kunoichi in the village and Naruto no longer hang out with her as he was spending time with Hinate and Kakashi Sensei no longer was around as well as he was always on missions all the time.
"Man I can't believe everyone in the village has move on with their life's and forgot all about me and thinking I am still the same weak Genin I use to be even though I know I can beat even Itachi with my bare hands." thought Sakura running her hand through her long pink hair that she let grow to her midback
Sakura then look up at the night sky and saw a shooting star coming overhead and decide to make a wish.
"I wish with all my heart I can find someone who doesn't think I am some weak kunoichi who needs to be protected all the time." said Sakura looking at the shooting star
With that Sakura got back on her feet and prepared to head back to the village when she look at the shooting star again and realize was not acting like a normal one as it was coming down to slowly like it was coming in for a landing and it was way to big as well and Sakura could swear she could make out somewhat of a metal thing in the flames. All of a sudden the thing disappeared into the trees two miles away and the ground around her started to shake like something big had hit the ground very hard and Sakura grab hold of the tree to steady herself and once the ground stop shaking she let go of the tree.
"Man from the sound of that impact that thing didn't land to far away from here and judging from what I saw it wasn't a regular shooting star. I think I better go check it out as it could mean trouble for the village." thought Sakura worried
With that Sakura took off in the direction of where she guess the thing had landed. After leaping from tree to tree at full speed for 20 minutes Sakura came to a stop as she saw a couple trees had been knock down and saw the thing that had landed and saw it was some sort of spaceship like the ones she read about in books only this one appeared to be man made from what Sakura could make out as she drop to the ground and got closer trying to hide from whoever own the spaceship. As Sakura got closer she could make out four figures and saw it was four humans like her about the same age as her. As Sakura could make out their were three boys and a girl and they appeared to be looking around the area like they were making sure the coast was clear. Sakura saw one boy had light tan skin with black hair that came down to his shoulders with black eyes. The boy next to him had dark shin with no hair from what Sakura could see and had black eyes as well. Sakura look at the other the two people and saw they both had white skin like her and the girl had long light dirty blond hair and blues. But what drew Sakura's attention the most was the other boy as she saw he had long hair with brown and blond streaks and blues eyes and Sakura felt her heart jump a beat and she had a slight blush on her face.
"Man that boy sure is cute even more then Sasuke." Thought Sakura
Sakura snap out of her thoughts and saw that all four of them were wearing identical cloths with the only difference was they each wore a different color shirt. The light tan skin boy had a black shirt and the dark skin one had a blue shirt on while the final boy had a red shirt on and the girl had a yellow shirt on and each of them was wearing some sort of device on their left wrist that look strange to Sakura and they appeared to be talking to one another. So Sakura crept closer to them without being seen and could make out what they were saying.
"Hey Carlos you don't happen to have any idea where we could be?" ask the dark skin boy
"I don't have a clue where we could be T.J. . But I am just glad we mange to get away from the Velocifighters and the Dark Fortress. Speaking of with I wonder how long it will take Billy and D.E.C.A to get the MegaShip's systems back online?" replied Carlos
"Well according to Billy it will take him and D.E.C.A. About 30 minutes to get the systems back online and we can get off this planet." said the girl
"Well that's good to hear Ashley. Because the longer we are stuck on this planet the more time Dark Specter has to drain Zorden of his energy." said the other boy
"I know what you mean by that Andros. But why do you look so alert like something is going to jump out of the forest and attack us?" ask Ashley
"Because Ashley this planet is not well know by the people of KO-35 and that is why I am worried as we don't know what the people of this planet will do if we encounter them." replied Andros
"So what do you know about this planet Andros may I ask?" ask T.J.
"Well according to the files this planet is inhabited by humans that use some sort of energy to perform amazing things but as far as how advance they are I don't know as no one from KO-35 as ever step foot on this planet surface and there is no way of telling what they might do if they saw us here." replied Andros
"Well they can't be as bad as Astronema and Ecliptor." said Carlos
"Your probably right about that Carlos. But I just hope Billy and D.E.C.A. Can get the Megaship's systems back online in time before Astronema finds out where we are and sends Ecliptor and some Quantrons after us as I think we will have a hard time trying to fight them off and keeping them from getting to the Megaship." said Andros worried
"Well maybe Astronema will not find us and just move on somewhere else." said Ashley
All of a sudden a hole appeared in the sky in front of them and all of a sudden they were surround by a couple of Qunatrons who were sliver human like robots each holding a long blade in their arms and standing in front of them was Ecliptor who was a human like figure that appear to be made out of black crystal with green lines running all over him and he was pointing his sword at the four of them.
"Looks like I spoke to soon." said Ashley
"Your right about that yellow ranger." said Ecliptor laughing
"What do you want Ecliptor?" ask T.J.
"What I want rangers is to destroy you once and for all as you four have proven to be a thorn in the side of Astronema's plans to take over the earth in the name of Dark Specter." replied Ecliptor
"Well you can tell Astronema that isn't going to happen as we will never give up." said Carlos
"And how do you plan on winning as I have the four of you outnumber?" ask Ecliptor
"Like this. Alright guys lets Rocket It." said Andros
With that they each punch in a code on their morphers and were engulf in a bright light and when it faded standing in front of Ecliptor were the rangers in their ranger form each holding their weapon in their hands ready to fight.
"Alright guys I want you three to handle the Quantrons well I take care of Ecliptor as we need to buy Billy some time until he and D.E.C.A. can get the Megaship back online." said Andros
"You can count on us Andros." said Carlos
"Yeah we will handle the Quantrons well you handle Ecliptor. Just be careful." said Ashley
"Oh course I will be. Now lets take care of these goons." said Andros
With that Andros went after Ecliptor with his spiral saber well the others handle the Quantrons. Meanwhile in the bushes Sakura had seen everything that had happen and watch as the T.J. ,Carlos, and Ashley were taking on the Quantrons easily as she notice they had the skill level of a high rank Jonin or Anbu and were working as a team to beat the Quantrons. Sakura then look over to the fight between Andros and Ecliptor and saw they both appeared evenly match as nether gave the other one a advantage over the other. But as the fight drag on Sakura notice that Andros was starting to lose the fight as he appeared a little weaker then Ecliptor when all of a sudden Andros was struck by Ecliptor's sword and sent to the ground and the spiral saber was just out of his reach as Ecliptor was heading towards him. Sakura decide she had seen enough and decide to help Andros out. With that Sakura disappeared in a blur. Meanwhile Andros was trying his hardest to get back on his feet and get to his spiral saber when he saw Ecliptor standing over him with his sword pointing at him.
"Face it red ranger you lost." said Ecliptor
"Your wrong Ecliptor as I will never lost to someone as evil as you." replied Andros
"Well then you better hope someone comes and helps you red ranger as I can see your friends are busy at the moment. So I hope you enjoy the next life." said Ecliptor as he raise his sword for the final blow.
All of a sudden from out of nowhere Andros saw a glove fist come out of nowhere and hit Ecliptor right in the chest and sent him flying across the field into a tree a couple of feet ahead. Andros look up to see a girl his age with long pink hair that came down to her midback and green eyes and wearing a red vest black shorts with a skirt over them and boots with open toed sandales on her legs standing in front of him and looking over at Ecliptor. Andros could tell by the face of the girl she had fought a lot of tough battles before in her life and was no stranger to fighting evil.
"Are you alright?" ask Sakura looking at Andros
"Yeah thanks to you. Miss. But if you don't mind I think you should stand asided and let me take care of my enemy as this isn't your fight." replied Andros getting up
"Well from the looks of things you needed my help as you are to weak to handle that creep alone and you can't tell me otherwise." said Sakura in a low tone
Andros realize there was no point in arguing with Sakura and realize he needed her help in fighting Ecliptor.
"Fine but we fight together is that understood." said Andros
"Fine with me. Besides I think you might need this to." replied Sakura handing Andros the spiral saber
Meanwhile Ecliptor had mange to recover from Sakura's attack and was getting ready to go after her and Andros when all of a sudden he look up to see Sakura and Andros come out of nowhere and attack him. Ecliptor quickly reacted by trying to attack with his sword which was block by Andros's spiral saber and look down at Sakura as she went through a series of handsighs and a giant ball of fire came out of Sakura's mouth and hit Ecliptor right in the chest and sent him flying backwards a couple of yards to the ground hard on his chest. When Ecliptor mange to get to his feet he saw Andros and Sakura standing their with the others rangers who had defeated the Quabtrons with their weapons aim at him.
"Give it up Ecliptor you lost this battle." said Andros
"You maybe right about that red ranger thanks to your new friend. But next time we meet I will crush all of you and that is a promise I make to princess Astronema. So until then farewell rangers." replied Ecliptor
With that he disappeared into the same hole in the sky that he appeared out of. Once he was gone the rangers demorph and Carlos look over to Sakura.
"Hey Andros who is your new friend here?" ask Carlos
"I don't know Andros. She just appeared out of thin air and help me fight Ecliptor." replied Andros looking at Sakura
"Well thanks for saving our friend Andros. By the way the names Ashley ." said Ashely
"My name is Sakura Haruno a ninja from the Hidden Leaf village. It a honor to meet you." replied Sakura
"Man that is so cool a real live ninja." said Carlos smiling
"You know Carlos you watch to much movies. Thanks again for the help Sakura in defeating Ecliptor. Theirs not that many people that can go toe to toe with him without using ranger powers." said Andros
"Thanks. But can you four tell me who you are and why that thing wanted with you four?" ask Sakura
"Well we happen to be the defenders of the universe know as the powers rangers and that thing happen to be our enemy Astronema best warrior Ecliptor who she sent to destroy us before we find Zorden." replied T.J.
"What do you mean by that?" ask Sakura curious
"Well you see Sakura the three of us come from a planet called earth well our leader here Andros comes from a planet called KO-35 and were the only thing that stands in the way of Astronema and her master Dark Specter from draining a powerful being know as Zorden of his energy and using it to take over the universe." replied Ashley
"That's sounds bad." said Sakura shock
"It is and your planet is lucky that Dark Specter didn't find out about your planet as I think your people couldn't stand up to him. Besides we need to get off your planet and continue our search for Zorden." replied Andros
"You know what Andros. We still have a morpher left in the Megaship and we definitely needs a pink ranger and since Sakura did help us with Ecliptor and fight him without using any ranger powers. She could make a great ranger to add to the team." said T.J.
"T.J. does have a point Andros. Were having a hard time fighting Astronema with just the four of us and Sakura did help us even though she didn't have to. So maybe she can join the team since she has all the qualities of a great ranger and she could be a big help to us." said Carlos
"I have to agree with Carlos and T.J. Sakura could make a great ranger and be a big help to us in our fight against Dark Specter and finding Zorden. So maybe she should join us." said Ashley
With that said Andros started to think about what his fellow rangers said and after thinking for 5 minutes realize that they were right about them needing another ranger as it was getting to hard to fight Astronema off with the four of them and that Sakura showed all the signs of being a great ranger. With that Andros look at Sakura.
"So what do you say Sakura. We do have extra morpher and need another ranger and you prove to my friends and teammates and me you have what it takes to be a great ranger and help save the universe from Dark Specter and Astronema. But it is up to you if you want to join us or not as we don't want to force this on you as our fight isn't your business to get involve in." said Andros
With that Sakura started to think hard about what Andros and the other ranger were offering her and what would happen if she didn't go back to the village and report back to her mom. After weighing everything Sakura realize their was no one back in the village for her to go back to and that Andros and the others really needed her help as what they told her sounded like it would affect not only the village but her planet as well sooner or later. With that Sakura look at Andros and the others.
"I have decide to join you four as you need my help fighting this Dark Specter and besides sooner or later he will come to my planet anyways to take it over and I will not let that happen. So you can count on me to help you fight him as power ranger." said Sakura
"Well then welcome to the team Sakura." said Andros shaking her hand.
At that moment there was a beep coming from Andros's morpher and he held it up to his face.
"This Andros. What's up Billy?" ask Andros
"I just wanted to tell you guys that me and D.E.C.A. have finish bringing the systems back online and we can leave as soon as your all ready." replied Billy
"Good to hear Billy and we have another person coming with us." said Andros
"Who would that be?" ask Billy curious
"Her names is Sakura Haruno and she has agreed to join us as the pink ranger." replied Andros
"That's good to hear Andros. Bring her aboard and we can all head back to earth as that is where the Dark Fortress is heading to." said Billy
"You got it Billy. Andros out." said Andros
"Well looks like it's time for us to leave. So just follow us Sakura into the Astro Megaship and you can meet Billy and D.E.C.A. and get use to everything." said Andros
With that Sakura followed Andros and the other rangers into the Megaship and the door behind them close and they headed up to the bridge. As they were walking Sakura couldn't help but look at everything in the ship as it look so hi tech to anything back in the village. After 15 minutes of walking they finally came to the bridge and Sakura couldn't help but be more amaze at everything in it. Andros notice Sakura looking around the bridge and decide to bring her out of her daze.
"Sakura. I would like you to meet the brains of our team and the first blue ranger Billy." said Andros pointing to a person with dirty blond hair and blue eyes wearing a white t shirt and blue jeans with white sneakers who look about 19 years old
"It honor to meet you Billy." said Sakura offering her hand
"Well the honor is all mine Sakura as is D.E.C.A.'s . Right D.E.C.A.?" said Billy shaking Sakura's hand
"That would be correct Billy." said a robotic voice
"Okay where did that voice come from?" ask Sakura scared
"That would be D.E.C.A. The computer of the Astro Megaship . But don't worry she's harmless. Right D.E.C.A.?" replied Andros in a reassuring voice
"That would be correct Andros. I don't mean to have scared you Sakura." replied D.E.C.A.
"It's okay D.E.C.A. I just have never met anything like you before. But I guess I will just have to get use to that." said Sakura
"So Sakura how about I show you around the Megaship while the others get prepare to get us back into space and Billy will get your morpher and uniform and bring it to your quarters." said Andros
"I think I would like that very much Andros." replied Sakura
With that Sakura followed Andros out of the bridge to see the rest of the ship. As they were walking around the ship Sakura notice it start to shake which she figured it meant they were taking off and after only a minute it stop and they continued on. As they were walking Andros showed Sakura the Galaxy gliders as well as the simudeck and the Synthetron with Sakura was all amaze with. After walking around for 10 more minutes they finally stop in front of a door.
"And this would be your quarters where you would be sleeping when we aren't training or in the bridge keeping a eye out for trouble." said Andros
With that the door slid away and they enter the room. Sakura saw the room was a little bit bigger then her bedroom back in the village with a bathroom and and saw everything was made out of metal and there was window with a view of outer space. Sakura then went over to the bed and saw some clothes and the same morpher that Andros and the other rangers had on top of the folded clothes.
"Looks like Billy brought you your new clothes and your morpher. I hope you like you new quarters as there the best we have. I am just sorry that might not be as good as what your use to." said Andros
"It's okay Andros. It is perfect and I like the view of the stars from here." replied Sakura smiling
"Well that's good to hear. Now I think I will leave so you can change into your new clothes and get some rest as tomorrow we will begin your training so you can get use to your ranger powers. So until then good night and thanks again for helping us fight Ecliptor and joining the team as we will try our best to make you feel at home." said Andros
With that Andros left the room with the door sliding close behind him. Once he was gone Sakura got out of her clothes and put on her uniform and put her morpher on her left wrist like the other had theirs. Once she was dress Sakura stood in front of the mirror and saw that she look pretty nice in her new clothes and with her leaf headband in her hair. Sakura then went over to her bed and put the picture of her and the rest of team seven when they were younger and still a team on the dresser next to her bed .
"I know I am doing right thing as not just the entire village is in danger but the universe as well. I have the feeling that I have finally found the one place where I belong at last as I can finally make a difference and not have people think I am just some weak girl that needs to be protected. I will not let my new friends and teammates down as they believe I can make a difference in their battle against evil and I will prove them right and that is a promise I attain to keep for good." thought Sakura
With that Sakura turn off the light next to her bed and pulled her sheet up and fell asleep to get some rest for whatever might lay ahead for her.
That's it for the first chapter of this story. So what do you think of Sakura meeting the space rangers and joining them as the pink space ranger. The reason Cassie isn't in this story is because in my story she decided to stay behind on earth with her family as did Justin and Alpha was destroyed in the commend center explosion and I like Billy so I decided to put him into the story as well. I plan on making sure that every one of the rangers can fight for themselves as will Sakura so there willn't be the same problem as in my other power ranger story. As always please review and leave comments as I want people's options on this story. Thanks and stay tune for the next chapter
