Thanks so much Rah! She wrote a majority of the chapter! Anyways enjoy!

Andros and Ashley stared at the screen in front of them, both unsure of what to say. They knew they needed to stop Divatox from harming Zordon but they were at a loss as to what needed to be done.

"Let him go, Divatox," Andros finally said with as much authority as he could manage.

"Why would I do that? That wouldn't be any fun at all," she sneered back. Ashley bit her lip as she looked at Zordon. Her brow furrowed a little bit. He seemed to be trying to say something to her without actually speaking.

"We won't let you get away with this," Andros countered. He didn't notice Ashley's intense stare at Zordon's lips. Divatox was oblivious as well. Ashley's eyes never left the being's mouth as it moved without sound. She would catch a word here or there but nothing that made enough sense.

Finally, Ashley was able to string most of it together and it made her stomach turn with unease. She squeezed Andros' hand to get his attention. He looked at her and saw the concern in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked. She swallowed and looked at the screen again. Without another thought she hit a button and it went black.

"What are you doing?" Zhane called from behind them.

"I didn't want her to hear," Ashley muttered.

"What's bothering you?" Andros pressed.

"Zordon...he was trying to tell me something," she began.

"I didn't hear him say anything," he replied.

"He was mouthing the words. He says the only way to defeat Divatox is to destroy her ship...with him on board," Ashley admitted. Silence spread out through the whole ship. Andros squeezed Ashley's hand tightly, and she squeezed back.

"Well…we can't just leave him there…" Zhane said, feeling Karone wrap a hand around one of his own.

"Are you sure…are you sure that you interpreted that right?" Karone asked softly.

I think so. He said something about the ultimate sacrifice," Ashley answered. She knew how much Zordon meant to all of them. It would be difficult to see him gone forever. But if it meant a safer future for her son, then she was willing to give it a try.

"If we don't do something and soon, then we may lose any hope of stopping her," she said, her voice getting stronger. She turned to Andros and saw how torn he was.

"Think about Aidan. Don't you want him to grow up in a universe that is safe from evil like Divatox?" she asked. Andros frowned. Could he actually do that; killing Divatox, even if that meant killing Zordon in the process?

"I don't know Ashley...Zordon is the most powerful force of good in the universe...what's to stop other evil from taking Divatox's place?" Andros countered. It was Ashley's turn to frown.

"I know it's hard. But...I just have this feeling like...something really good will come from this," she said. Andros looked around at the rest of the team. They had stayed quiet.

"What do you think?" he finally asked.

"I think it's a chance we have to take," Cassie said. Carlos nodded in agreement. All eyes turned to TJ.

"Let's get this over with," he said. Andros swallowed and with one last look over at his wife, turned his attention to DECA.

"DECA, lock lasers on to Divatox' ship. Set them to maximum power," he ordered.

"Lasers locked," DECA repeated. Andros had brought Divatox's ship up on the screen.

"Fire," he said. The lasers shot out from the Megaship and collided with the other vessel. They saw explosions erupt throughout the ship but it did not explode. Ashley shot a sideways glance at Andros.

"Fire again. And make sure sheilds are at full power," she said. Lasers shot out again and this time the other ship returned fire. Luckily the shields mostly absorbed the hits. The second blast from the megaship seemed to do the trick. It exploded into hundreds of pieces of debris. What happened next was a shock to them all. A large ring of bright light shot out like a ripple. The megaship rocked a few times as the beam passed over them.

"What was that?" Carlos asked, steadying himself.

"I think...that's what Ashley meant as something good," Karone replied, her throat suddenly feeling kind of dry. Kara and Lamont stuck their heads in, having felt the tremor as well.

"Everything ok in here?" Kara asked.

"Everything's fine, Mom," Andros replied, taking his son from her arms.

"We just defeated Divatox," Cassie added. The rest of the rangers seemed in relatively high spirits even with Zordon gone, except for Karone. She was starting to feel a little dizzy. She sat down and was rubbing her forehead. Ashley noticed her behavior and went to join her.

"Hey, you ok?" Ashley asked. Karone nodded her head.

"I guess I wasn't expecting this to be over so soon...and to end this way. I thought...we'd have Zordon around for a long time," Karone murmured. Ashley nodded her head, and Karone sighed. "Well…Divatox is finally gone," she said trying to appear happy for her sister-in-law and her brother. Zhane walked over to her, a huge grin plastered on his face. Seeing how happy Zhane was, she momentarily forgot her dizziness and he swept her into his arms.

Despite how elated Zhane felt, he saw something in Karone's eyes. It wasn't just because Zordon was gone. "Are you ok?" he murmured.

"Of course I am ok," Karone whispered.

"You look a little pale," he said, setting her on her feet and beginning to lead her to the infirmary.

"Zhane I'm fine," she protested but he wouldn't have any of it. By the time the rest of the ship's occupants had arrived, Karone was trying to take deep, calming breaths while Zhane rubbed her back. Andros was at her side immediately.

"What's wrong?" he asked, having handed Aidan off to Ashley.

"Nothing's wrong," Karone sniffled, a watery smile on her lips.

"I'm pregnant," she announced. Zhane beamed at his best friend. Andrso pulled his baby sister into a hug.

"I'm proud of you," he whispered before letting her go. She received hugs from her parents as well as the other rangers.

"I guess something good did come from all of this after all," TJ said, eliciting nods of agreement.

Well here is the ending of another story…I have one more to go, and my little trilogy will be complete :D
