Karone starred at her hands and felt immense guilt wash over her. It had been two weeks since the final battle, and she was being treated like she had done nothing wrong. She wanted someone to

shout and scold her and hurt her feelings, she deserved it! Yet, everyone was being too nice to her, saying none of it was her fault… They didn't understand that it was partly her fault! She had forced

herself to train hard so that she would be chosen to study under the Masters of Dark Arts, and eventually destroy the Power Rangers and enslave the human race! It didn't matter the influence in her

life, she had still made that choice!

"Hey Karone," Andros said, walking in with the rest of the group, "we're heading out to get smoothies… Do you want to come?"

Karone looked her brother in the eyes, there was that forgiving sense again, "Nah, I'm not feeling too good. I think I'll turn in early."

Ashley looked worried, "Are you sure? Do you want someone to stay with you?"

"Yea, do you want someone to stay? I mean smoothies aren't that good," Cassie said, beginning to sit down on the couch.

"No, I'll be fine alone," Karone said, swatting playfully at Cassie.

"You sure?" Carlos and T.J. asked her. Zhane looked at her with concerned eyes.

"I'm positive! Bring me back a smoothie," she said with a small smile. It seemed to convince them enough to leave, although they seemed extremely hesitant. When they finally did leave, Karone got up

and packed her knapsack with a change of clothes, a hair brush, her honorary power ranger uniform, and her Galaxy coins. After looking around she found the portal that would take her to the Astro

Megaship. Stepping through the shifting cosmos, she gave a sigh when she emerged in the ship. Quietly walking to her room, she stopped outside the Main Control when she heard her name.

"We're really worried about her Zordon, it's like her mind is still caught up in the past," Cassie said.

"Zordon, what do we do? I can't lose my sister again," Andros's voice sounded as if he had been crying.

"We need to make sure she understands that it is not her fault," Zordon began, "the way she grew up after KO-35 was not up to her. Keep assuring her it is not and never will be her fault."

Karone felt her blood boil, and she ran past the entrance to the room. She heard a crack from inside the Main Control room, but she didn't stop until she reached her room. Closing the door behind her,

she flung herself on her bed and watched as her favorite pink n' purple pen started writing on a pad of paper. Sitting up, she tried to cool her anger and the pen and paper dropped to the floor. She

didn't like losing control of her telekinetic powers, but whenever she lost control on her emotions, it ran wild. Finally getting off her bed, she picked up a picture of the whole group that was taken the

day after the attack. Ashley was standing to the left with Andros's arms wrapped around her. Carlos and T.J. were next, Carlos had Cassie on his back piggy-back style and seemed to be pretending to

let her fall since she was holding on to him pretty tightly. Next was her and Zhane, with Zhane's arm wrapped around her shoulder pulling them close together. Finally there was Alpha 5 and Zordon. All

of them were smiling and looking content, this was hours before the pity and guilt started. Putting the picture into her bag, she also took a picture of her, Andros, and Zhane. Embossed at the top was

"KO-35 Kidz" which was ironic since none of them were children anymore… Pulling her bag close to her, she took out her staff from when she had been Astronema and quickly transformed her closet

into a portal. Taking a step into the portal, she heard her door open. There was the rest of the rangers, suddenly running towards her. Taking her staff in two hands, she cracked it in half before

stepping completely through the cosmos portal which closed the nanosecond she went through. Closing her eyes, she thought of the planet she wanted to go to. It was too far away for Alpha 5 and

Zordon to trace her, but close enough for her to keep an eye on them. Medievalin, a medieval planet, where power rangers were seen as knights and were almost always men. A planet she could live

on in peace until she could figure out what else to do with herself.
