A/N: It's been a while but I finally have time to work on this. I may decide to rewrite this but for now I'm going to focus on working on getting some updates up.

The hallway was silent. It was unusual for the room to be unguarded. There weren't any foot soldiers or minions in sight. Still Hazel proceeded with caution. She knew that Damian could catch her at any moment.

Sighing softly, Hazel hid herself as she tried to insert herself into someone's mind. She needed to know how to get off the ship. Once she got the information she needed Hazel made her way carefully to the docking bay. If she could get there before she was noticed she would have a better chance of getting away from him permanently.

As Hazel passed the weapons room she grabbed a blaster before continuing towards the docking bay. When she got there, she saw nothing but quantrons working on fixing damages. Hazel concluded that the ship had crashed. The docking door was open and outside was a raging storm. This was her only chance; Hazel quietly made her way past the quantrons, hidden by the large equipment that was still intact, and quietly slipped off the ship.

The bitter cold of the rain and wind attacked Hazel's exposed flesh as she ran as fast as her legs would allow her to go. Her heart pounded and her lungs burned when all the air escaped her. She made the mistake of looking back to see if anyone was following her. She tripped on a jagged rock and landed face-first into the pile of jagged rocks that littered the ground. Fresh blood poured from her body and her right ankle ached. When she stood up she could feel the twinge of pain shoot up her leg. Hazel instantly knew that her ankle was at least sprained. She tried to brush the rocks away from her body but hissed in pain when the dirt and sweat of her fingers mixed with the new wounds. She knew that if she didn't start moving again she would surely be found. Pushing the pain out of her mind, Hazel started running again. She slipped a few times but always got back up and kept running.

"Andros I have detected a ranger signal on the planet" DECA informed the mention man as he lounged on his bed. He shot up and clumsily got out of bed. He pulled his boots and jacket on before making his way towards the bridge. When he got there all of the rangers were there waiting for him.

"Can you bring up a visual DECA?" Andros asked as soon as he was on the bridge.

"Negative. The signal is too weak and is constantly moving." The AI replied. "The signal has just stopped."

"Can you teleport us as close to the signal as possible?" Carlos asked. DECA confirmed that she could and the rangers morphed. DECA teleported the rangers to the coordinates closest to the ranger signal.

Hazel stopped by a large rock. Her lungs burned still and her body protested every movement she made. Turning her head just slightly she could see five blinding lights appear. When they disappeared, she saw four very familiar ranger suits and one she never thought she would actually ever see.

Quietly and slowly, Hazel moved around the rock so that she was hidden. She wasn't sure who now held the Astro morphers but she didn't want to risk getting captured again,

"The signal is really strong here. Whoever the ranger is must be here somewhere" she heard one of the two girls say.

"Then we spread out. If I'm correct the signal is coming from one of my old teammates. If it is we need to help them as soon as possible." Hazel recognized that voice. She was in love with the man who it belonged to. She had dreamed of the day that Andros came to save her.

"I think I see someone" One of the other rangers stated. He had no doubt seen her feet. She had trouble hiding them in their current condition. Just as Hazel was about to reveal herself to the rangers, she heard an all too familiar laugh.

"This must be my lucky day. Not only do I get my prisoner back but I get to destroy the famous Power Rangers instead of Astronema."

"Who are you?" one of the males asked harshly.

"Damian?" Andros asked even harsher.

"Who else could have pulled all this off? Astronema may be Dark Spector's favorite but I'm not far behind her. I gave him KO-35, three rangers, and managed to have another killed. It's only a matter of time before your new team falls Andros." Damian spoke; his voice held greed and cockiness. Hazel narrowed her eyes as she heard Damian say this. She couldn't allow him to destroy the rangers although she doubted that he could destroy them. She was caught off guard however when two quantrons grabbed her roughly. Hazel instantly regretted not being more aware. She gave a small scream when the quantrons dragged her to her feet.

She screamed even louder when the quantrons threw her to the ground in between the rangers and her ex-captor. She forced herself to stand up but as she did so Damian grabbed her by her arm and pulled her to him. Hazel struggled to break free and when she finally did she ran towards Andros and his team. As she ran the quantrons blasted at her. One of the blasts hit her shoulder and she cried out in pain. Hazel grabbed onto her shoulder as the black ranger rushed up to her. He wrapped her uninjured arm around his neck and carefully helped her walk over to where the rest of the rangers were standing.

"Carlos teleport her directly to the med bay" Andros ordered before the black light engulfed Carlos and Hazel. When the two were gone, the other four rangers attacked the quantrons and Damian. Before long Damian retreated with whatever quantrons were left. Andros, Ashley, TJ, and Cassie returned to the megaship.

"TJ, will you see if we can leave yet?" Andros asked as soon as the four were back on the bridge of the megaship. TJ agreed before walking over to one of the panels. "Cassie, will you see if Carlos needs any help in the med bay?" Cassie agreed before walking into the megalift.

"I can get her some clothes" Ashley offered. Andros smiled.

"There's a flight suit for her I just need to get it. The room in between mine and TJ's is hers. Can you go make sure it's decently clean?" Andros asked. Ashley nodded and the two split up.

After Andros grabbed clothes for Hazel he made his way to the med bay. When he arrived he saw only Carlos in the room. At the sound of the door opening Carlos looked up.

"Cassie is helping her get cleaned up so we can properly clean her wounds." Carlos explained at Andros's look of confusion. Andros nodded before setting the clothes on the edge of the metal examination table.

A short time later Cassie and Hazel walked out of the connected bathroom. Hazel had a towel wrapped around her body and Cassie was helping her walk.

Andros and Carlos helped Cassie tend to the wounds on Hazel's body as Hazel herself tried to focus on anything but the three sets of hands that were on her body. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't ignore the feelings passing through her. She could feel the worry, longing, regret, and sympathy that the three were feeling. After Hazel's wounds were cleaned and bandaged the three Astro rangers helped her get dressed in the flight suit that Andros had brought her though they left the jacket off.

Andros and Carlos helped Hazel to her room so that she could rest and allow her body to heal. When they got to her room it was relatively clean. There was an Astro morpher sitting on the desk by the bed along with a locket with a broken chain. The two boys helped Hazel down gently before taking her boots off. Cassie walked in with a glass of water in her hand. Cassie set it on the desk and smiled sadly at the injured woman.

"You need to drink this it'll help you sleep." Andros said as Carlos and Cassie left the room.

"Are they okay?" Hazel asked when it was just her and Andros.

"Your parents and sister made it out fine. They are with Kinwon and the rebels. Zhane is in a cryogenic freeze. He took a hit for me that almost cost him his life." Andros spoke as he handed her the glass. "Are you okay?"

"I had two years to come to terms that they most likely were dead. I guess I'm not quite sure how to feel." Hazel said after she had gulped down the entire glass of water. She pulled the blanket tighter around her in an effort to warm her freezing skin.

"You should be happy. They are safe. Zhane will wake up and when he does he will be excited to see you. Nina will tackle both of you into a hug and not let go for hours. Everything will be okay Hazel, you'll see." Andros spoke softly. He could tell that the sleeping aid was pulling her into sleep.

"I'm sorry Andros" she said as she drifted peacefully to sleep. Her final words made Andros wonder what she meant as he left her room. He ordered DECA to inform him when she woke up or if her peaceful sleep was interrupted. He needed to speak with his team.
