A/N: I hope y'all have enjoyed this story. Sorry its taken me so long to update, I had a family thing going on. Whelp, here's to chapter 12.

Chapter 12 – Intruders?

"Andros, there's a disturbance in the galaxy, two evil beings are headed for your home planet."

"DECA, on screen!"

The screen switched to the outer parts of the Astro Megaship, Andros, with his brown eyes, searched the small visible window for any signs of evil, or life, then he saw it… A huge serpent-like creature flying through the sky, it looked like the one Zedd had, but it was red and black, not all black like his was. Andros sighed and used the scanners and found that there were two life forms, humans, aboard the mechanical being. He shook his head, what could they want with my home planet? To destroy it?

"Andros, they appear to be landing the creature on KO-35."

"Get the others up here, quickly!"

DECA alerted the other space rangers to the evil presence and Ashley was at Andros' side searching the mechanical beast. "Who are they, Andros? What do they want with KO-35?"

Andros shook his head, "I wish I knew, Ashley. My home was deserted after the Dark Spector destroyed my home. There's nothing left now."

"They don't seem to think so," Cassie snorted.

"DECA, contact this being, I wish to see their intentions."

"Contacting…" A few minutes later, "Andros, there is a communications link, shall I put it on screen?"

"Yes, DECA."

Jason and Trini came into view, still wearing their wedding attire, "Sorry to have disturbed the two of you, but we need to know your intentions on KO-35," Andros said softly and warily.

Jason smirked, "Why of course, we are on our honeymoon, and my wife, Trini, wanted a quiet, Earth-like planet. We already know it is destroyed and have no quarrel with you or your Space Rangers, Andros." Andros' eyes flickered with surprise. "Yes, I know who you are. Rita talked much about you. Anyways, we just wish to spend a week in your beautiful planet, and we will depart again with no harm to your planet." Andros nodded once in affirmation and the communication line was disconnected.

"DECA, secretly place a tracking device on their serpent so we can track their movements along KO-35, I do not trust them. He was too cocky."

"Of course, Andros."

Three days had gone by smoothly, no interference from Andromeda or the Dark Fortress. But Andros was still wary of the two humans on KO-35. Ashley caught him pacing the Astro Megaship's observation deck, she put her arm on his shoulder, "Andros, if you are that worried, why don't you go down?"

Andros shook his head, "No, if something happens, then I will defend my home, just like I did when Dark Spector destroyed it."

On KO-35, Jason and Trini were holding hands and walking slowly through one of their beautiful waterfall parks, they had already had their honeymoon romp in the covers, now they were just enjoying the scenery. Trini smiled at Jason and he sat on a boulder looking over a waterfall. "Are you alright, Jason?"

"Yes, Trini, I am fine. I just can't believe that I destroyed my Empress."

"You destroyed her because she wouldn't let me go. Its admirable really."

"I know you're right, I just can't help but think that the Emperor is going to come back and find that I've taken over."

"T-The Emperor, you mean…?"

"Yeah, Lord Zedd."

Trini shuddered, he was more hideous than Rita, and more dangerous too. She secretly hoped he would stay off the moon and out of her palace.

Back on the Astro Megaship

"Andros, do you really think they would destroy what's left of KO-35?"

"I don't know, Ashley, but I don't trust them. Something's not right. Why would he have Serpentera? Better yet, where's Rita?"

"Those are valid questions, Andros, questions to be asked another time."

Andros nodded and allowed Ashley to lead him off the bridge, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to go wrong.

Earth, Kimberly's room

"It's been so quiet this week," Kimberly said softly as Tommy ran his fingers across her arm. He nodded in the darkness. Everyone's been on edge, since the word came through that Jason and Trini were married, and evil. "Where do you think they've gone?"

He shrugged, "No clue, wouldn't be surprised if they went to the farthest galaxy. Jason's always wanted to see the planets." Kimberly nodded and sighed. She missed her best friend. Sure, she made a new one with Alisha, but it just wasn't the same. Tommy ran his fingers through her hair and kissed her softly, "It's gonna be okay, beautiful."

KO-35

"Jason? Is Serpentera just about ready to return to the moon?"

"Yea, just a few more adjustments and..." There was a blip, signaling that the Astro Megaship wanted to communicate. He opened the comms and sat in front of the screen.

"Jason," Andros said softly, "You're leaving?"

"Yes, Trini and I have decided that it is best if we return. We have some unfinished business to take care of."

"I see. Thank you for leaving in peace."

Jason smirked, "I keep my promises, but I don't think he will..."

"Who?"

Suddenly, DECA started going crazy and Jason ended the communication with Andros. "Ready?" Trini nodded, unsure if it was such a good idea to leave the Space Rangers to their fate, but then she shrugged and laughed. As Jason took control of Serpentera to return to the moon.
