Check one, one two three, clear. Time of message, five Inka and Guro, two thousand thirty two of the Gadna year. This is a recorded message, for anyone who would hear. My name is Andros, resident of, no, former resident of Ko-35. Should anyone find me, this message, or both, I hope you will understand why I did what I'm about to do.
My planet was attacked by Dark Specter. He came from out of nowhere, giving us no time to prepare. My friend Zhane, the Silver Ranger and I were given power so that we could protect our planet. But I failed, I failed my planet, and I failed my best friend. Please, this is my last message, listen to what I have to say. Once I finish this message, I will order DECA to suck away all oxygen from the Astro Megaship. This will end everything, for me at least. Before you judge for the action that I'm about to take, you must understand my reasons.
Zhane is, was, my best friend. No check that, he was like a brother to me, perhaps as much as my sister Karone. Karone, if anyone ever finds you and you hear this, don't hate me, I could never hate you. This is my decision, this is my choice to end my life – a life for which I'm no longer entitled to have. I couldn't save you Karone when you were kidnapped, and I couldn't save Zhane when he sacrificed himself to save me. That is too much shame for me to bear.
Some protector of the universe I am, couldn't fend off a monster without my best friend losing his life saving my neck. I mean, together we were a team, unbeatable. Whatever thrown at us was nothing against the Red and Silver Rangers. But that day, when Dark Specter attacked our home planet, we were defeated. Completely outnumbered against the most menacing army of monsters the universe had ever seen, and all KO-35 had was me and him. And I failed them. I failed him.
I was cocky, and I made the ultimate mistake – dashing forward without thinking. I still remember the last thing I ever said to him: "This one's mine". I tried to fight a monster alone, but was knocked down easily. It would've finished me off if it wasn't for him. Zhane lived and died like a hero, taking a shot meant for me. How long has it been? Too long. I tried everything, and I'm telling you everything, from morphing pulses to hyper-sleep. It was of no use, none. Two minutes to complete drain of air.
This message is getting pretty long, I hope someone's listening. The story of my friend cannot die with me. I still remember the day we were given our morphers. The party we had the night after… He got so intoxicated he tried swirl his Digimorpher on his finger! Three years and the colonists still tell about the flying phone that took down half the wall.
Man, those were the days. Just you and me buddy, invincible. Oh who're you kidding Andros? He's dead, gone, and there's nothing I can do about it. Not even my death will help him. But maybe it'll help me. I mean, that only makes sense. Wait, does it, really, make sense?
I mean, if Zhane thought that… why would he do that? Why did he give up his life to save mine, just so that I can die here, like this? Oh Zhane, oh partner, laughing even now, smiling to the last moment. You needed to reach that by myself, right? I don't want to die, I can't die. I let you down buddy, but that is not over. You're a hero partner, and I can't let your death stop me from doing my best. That's what you were thinking, I just couldn't understand it until now. I still have the universe to fight for, and a sister to find. DECA, abort vacuum, and take us to Triforia.
