Power Rangers Nebula Blast

A/N / Disclaimer: We will be moving on eastward, where the Crab and Corona Aurealis Nebulae are, and it focuses on our Gold Ranger Zosia Ule and our Green Ranger, Galen Cassix (whom I will be making related since they are both submitted by the wonderful BellaRosa17!) Thank you for the double submission, Bella, and please don't kill me with this change! I hope it will be alright with you ^^;; I haven't been able to get up and write as I should be doing, since I've been recovering from the flu :( It's spreading around like a wildfire, and I decided to rest and write as soon as I recover, so I'm sorry about late updates. However, now that more days off are coming, I'll hopefully be able to write consistently and post more chapters for all of you!

I do not own Power Rangers or Galen and Zosia. Zosia and Galen belong to BellaRosa17, Power Rangers belongs to Saban, and I only own the Iono fleet, Alia, and Alisarra/Haera.

Today's origin belongs to...

Corona Gold!

Deep within the depths of space, going east of the Helix and Orion nebulae, lies the Crab and Corona Aurealis Nebulae. We will save the story of the Crab Nebulae for another time, but today brings the tale of the Corona Aurealis Nebulae.

The Corona Aurealis nebula, or for short, known as the Corona, was well-known for being one of the wealthiest planets in the whole universe. They were known for being successful miners, and they had possibly everything they could ever want. As one of the richest, they had also one of the best governments - at least they were convinced they did. Many governments looked up to the infamous Coronian government, and however, as they thought it was perfect, the people themselves thought it was even more than that.

If anything, their government wasn't perfect. It was a tyranny.

The man who ran their government, the Administrator, was an able man, however at different points he was a bit overbearing when it came to his daughter and his people especially. This began after the recent death of his wife, whom he loved so much more than life itself. Of course, Corona was much more of a lenient government there, and the wife of the Administrator was a well-beloved figure. Many people loved his wife, for she was everything they wanted in a figure such as she. She understood the people, as she once lived in the towns herself, she loved her husband with everything she had, and when the time even came, she loved her children.

Even though she was well-beloved, she was also very sickly.

From the time of her birth, the wife of the Administrator was very frail, very sickly. Doctors predicted that she wouldn't live as long, and truth be told, they were right. She died only about a year or so prior to this story, and not just the empire, but the nebula, had fallen into a deep depression. Years later, the Administrator once stepped out again, but alone and made changes that would not only affect the empire, but the whole nebula's balance. His daughter was a quiet one, since her mother's death she was unable to speak up against her father's ways and since then she only dedicated herself to training for the next few years when she would begin her services to the nebula, and regaining the love of her father back.

However, the daughter, who went by the name Zosia Ule, would have to go a long way before she could regain her father's attention.

The months, and the seasons went past for the Coronian empire of Astria. By the time the next year came, Zosia's birthday fell on the anniversary of her mother's death. Really, she wasn't up for celebrating; moreso, why should she celebrate an event that she believed drove her and her father apart? She looked over at her calendar, which was marked many times as the day that she wouldn't be bothered with celebrating.

"Zosia...?" one of the maids knocked on her door ever so softly, that it gave her a hard time to hear. "Your father requests your appearance." Upon hearing this, Zosia sighed before checking herself in the mirror. It would take her a while to change out of the earth clothes that her father deemed as an "Outsider's appearance". After changing into new clothes, Zosia headed out of her bedroom to meet with her father in his study.

"Exactly what does he want this time...?"

~ [ Corona Gold ] ~

"So, where are we headed to now...?"

Corik looked over at Haera, who was driving the space pod. After dodging through many meteorites hurling at them, and going through other planets as pitstops, all the former queen turned bounty hunter wanted was for her handsome companion to shut up. He had asked her so many times throughout the trip to the Corona Aurealis where they were headed, that she mentally swore she'd rip out his tongue if he asked her one more time.

"For the last time, we're heading to the Corona nebula," Haera had tried her best to tolerate him, as annoying as he could be now that they were in this pod together. In fact, it had been such a while when she had done anything with him, to be exact. As Alisarra, she was devoted to Valek only, though her heart had yearned to go back to the Helix Nebula while they were on a tour there and see the handsome young man who had swept her off her feet when Valek wasn't around. Now, she was Haera. Valek didn't matter to her, just as Vero no longer mattered to Corik.

"Wait...why are we going to the Corona Nebula again...?"

"Do you want me to rip out your throat?! We're going there to invade!"

Haera narrowed her eyes at him in a death glare before focusing back on space, I swear if he doesn't shut up I'm really going to rip out his throat...

Corik only rolled his eyes, looking out at the black nothingness of the sky with only the stars illuminating the dark void that only colored every so often when they passed by a planet or emerged from another nebula that was not on their map for invasion.

"We'll be there soon," Haera had calmed down a bit, though tense with Corik's annoying questions and immature manner that he was displaying in front of her at this very moment, but all she could try to do for now was to put up with it. She could giving him a good scolding, if that was needed, later. Corik only sat back in the passenger's seat of the pod and said nothing as they were on their way to the Corona Nebula. Haera only narrowed her eyes over at him before sighing to herself.

'Exactly why won't you understand...?'

~ [ Corona Gold ] ~

If it were anything, she didn't want to stand outside her father's office door as if she were some sort of stranger. In truth, she really did feel like one, much to say the least.

Zosia stood outside the door with a hesitant look on her face. The door loomed over her, towered over as if it were a wall that hid her father on the other side and she would be unable to come through to him. At least, that's really what it seemed like after her mother had passed away. Her stomach churned, and before she could believe that the door that had separated her and her father for years would get any longer she immediately raised a fist and knocked on the door.

"Dammit..." she muttered under her breath before bringing her hand back down to her side, "Why did I just..."

"Come in."

The Administrator's daughter only perked up when she heard the sound of her father's voice call her from within, and she placed a hand around the cool brass knob of the door, twisting it and entering the magnificent office her father would hole himself up in for possibly hours in a day. "Did you need to see me, father?"

Zosia's father, a man who looked to be somewhere in his middle 60's with olive skin and black hair with greying streaks looked up to see his daughter standing in the doorway. With a wave of his hand, he gestured her over and beckoned for her to sit in the single chair across from his. His desk was strewn with stacks of unsigned documents and papers and more that reached higher than even he could take them.

"I have news...concerning this land," he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and let his glance steel onto his daughter, his only child. "I will soon grow old, and I will not be able to rule this land as justly as I have been. As you are my only daughter, see it fit that you will take my place." Zosia said nothing, only eyeing her father with a shocked glance.

"F-Father...I...I don't..." she tried to begin, twisting a piece of her black strands of hair back behind her ear before looking at her father. The words weren't able to come out of her mouth. In fact, what was she supposed to tell her father? In all reality, she wasn't able to refuse. In fact, she shouldn't be refusing something as important as this. "Why...why do you want me to do this? Can't Galen do this? He can have this nebula, and he can have the Crab Nebula! They can both be his! I don't understand why-"

"This was already decided for you, Zosia."

"But what if I don't-"

"Zosia."

It was then and there that silence overtook the room, and only there was a stare-off between father and daughter. Was her fate only decided this early? Could she not do anything else about what would soon become of her? Her fate was left to the stars now, and she knew that for now, this was something she wouldn't be able to fix. Of course, there was more she wanted to do in life...she just didn't know what it was.

"Father, I..."

"Zosia, we will not be speaking of this anymore. This is decided for you, and that's final."

To tell the ever so sacred truth, that was the attitude her father had given off to her ever since her mother died. She was beloved by the people, by her father, by her daughter...why did something like this have to set them apart?

"Father-" Blast! Zosia's eyes widened as she heard the sound of a laser, and then the sound of three, four, turning into tens, twenties...a numerous amount.

"Sir! The Iono fleet is attacking us!" In barged her father's advisers and military heads, serious looks on their faces as the Administrator's face twisted into a grim expression.

"Ready the air fleets, and bring the nebula into lockdown once we evacuate," he bellowed, "and prepare the escape pods...for my daughter's safety."

That was when Zosia's own face twisted into one of horror, one with hostility and rage burning in her eyes. "Father! I will not stand down and watch everyone die with the Iono fleet on the loose! I...I must...!"

"We cannot have you staying here and being killed off like the rest of us," her father replied, a rather serious expression on his face. "We must have you safe, and hidden from where they cannot find you."

"But...But Father...!"

"Zosia! Do NOT argue with me!" He roared sharply, "Not now...!" Not like your mother did, when they attacked us last...

She watched the city, the one home she's ever known, burn to ash in front of her. She had dreams, where this city, the empire she so loved, was indestructible. With the enemy surrounding her, every step and every turn became one step to death.

She hated being told to run. Zosia hated every minute of it, and even as she was running for her life now, through the halls that she once called home, it became a death chamber. The empire was falling.

Corona was dying, just as other nebulae that were attacked by the Iono fleet were.

"Where is he...?! Where's my father!?" Zosia yelled, pain numbing her arms as guards gripped her tightly, as if it were to make sure she would not run back to the central hall and stay until she was blasted away by the Iono fleet.

"He...he wasn't able to make it," a soldier bowed his head grimly, watching Zosia's eyes water up fiercely.

"What do you...what do you mean he didn't make it...?! I want to see him, I want to see him now!" Tears flushed Zosia's cheeks quickly, and the daughter of the administrator backed away from the guards until she fell in...what was this...an...an escape pod...?!

"How...no! Let me out of here...! Let me out...!" Zosia banged her fists against the glass as tears pooled from the corners of her eyes and spilled even quicker than before, "Let me...father..."

For once, she was helpless.

~ [Corona Gold] ~

From within the main chamber, he watched his daughter's escape pod fly from their dying nebula and into space.

"I'm sorry...Zosia," her father's voice softened, lowering his head and watching the head ship of their attackers fly overhead of his home, "I didn't want you to end up like your mother did..."

And there, he, too, burned with his fallen nebula.
