Episode 22 The Silver Secret

TJ, Carlos, Ashley and I were in the Bridge Monday afternoon. Cassie and Andros walked in.

"Guys. We have some bad news." Andros said quickly. We all turned to face them.

"Really bad news." Cassie said, looking worry.

"Are you guys ok?" TJ asked as we walked over to them.

"What's wrong?" Ashley asked.

"It's about…" Cassie trailed off just as the door opens. Everyone turns as Zhane walks in.

"Zhane!" Andros exclaimed. Zhane looks up.

"Hey." Zhane said with a smile. He walked over towards control panels. Cassie and TJ exchange glances. They walk over to him. Andros takes giant calculator away from Zhane.

"Hey you've been working too hard." Andros said. Zhane laughs and taking calculator back.

"Hard work isn't going to kill me." Zhane pointed out. Cassie looks at Andros. They follow him to next control panel.

"Here sit down. Relax." Andros said, as he pushed Zhane into a chair. TJ, Carlos, Ashley and I watched, looking at each other confused.

"Yeah, here put your feet up." Cassie said. Zhane looks at Andros and Cassie confused.

"Here let me take this for you." Andros said, taking the calculator.

"What's up with the royal treatment?" Zhane asked as the control panels go off. We all turn and look to see what's going on.

"Disturbance on earth. The Praying mantis is attack." DECA, the main computer said.

"Let's go." TJ said. TJ, Carlos, and Ashley leave. Zhane goes to get up. Cassie and Andros sit him back down. I stared at them confused.

"We'll take care of this one. You stay here." Andros said before leaving.

"You sure?" Zhane asked Cassie.

"Yeah, absolutely. You just…take it easy." Cassie said, walking over to me. "Keep an eye on him, alright?"

"Um…ok." I said confused. I sat down next to Zhane. Zhane is tapping his figures on one of the panels, bored. He soon starts playing with an apple.

"Wonder how they are doing without me." Zhane wondered.

"Who knows." I said. Zhane goes to eat the apple and stops.

"DECA, bring up the fight on the viewing screen." He said.

"On screen now." Zhane and I turn to watch the battle. Rangers are not doing so well. Zhane stands up.

"I've got to get down there." Zhane said quickly.

"But Zhane, what about your morphing powers?" Alpha said. Zhane looks at Alpha, but said nothing and he left. I look at Alpha after Zhane left.

"What about Zhane's morphing powers?" I asked, getting up from my seat.

"His morphing powers are slowly starting to drain."

"Wait…that's possible?" I asked. "How?"

"I am not exactly sure." Alpha said. "But I am working on trying to figure it out." I nodded slowly. This wasn't a good sign.

"Let me know if there is anything I can do to help."

TJ, Andros, Cassie and Ashley headed straight towards the cafeteria while Emma walked with Zhane.

"Alpha told me what's happening with your morphing powers." I said as we were walking. "What are you going to tell the others?"

"I was hoping that I could figure out why they were wearing down before I told them." Zhane said. "But, let me tell them."

"Ok." I said as Zhane started to punch some numbers in to the key pad.

"It's true." Cassie said to the others.

"This is horrible." TJ said. Zhane stopped me and we listened to the conversation.

"He's so young." Carlos said, walking towards the kitchen.

"You ever notice how he demorphs as soon as the fight is over?" Andros pointed out.

"He's probably too weak to keep fighting." Carlos stated. I heard Zhane chuckle quietly. He turned to face me.

"So that's why Cassie and Andros were acting so freaky." Zhane said with a laugh. I looked confused. Zhane rubs his hands together. "They think I'm dying."

"That's why you're laughing?" I said. "It's obvious that you're not dying. You need to tell them." Zhane didn't say anything. He just smiled.

"He's being so…brave." Ashley said.

"What can we do?" Carlos said as Zhane entered. I followed him in.

"Do about what?" Zhane asked. Everyone jumped to their feet.

"Hey. How are you?" Cassie asked.

"Fine, I guess." Zhane said, clearing his throat.

"Here, take my seat." TJ offered. I watched as I was getting some food.

"Yeah, here." Cassie said, helping Zhane. Zhane sits down in the chair.

"Thanks." Zhane said, grabbing a cup and a container.

"Here have some juice." Cassie said, pouring a cup full of juice.

"Don't mind if I do." Zhane said. I leaned up against a wall, eating my food, as I watched. TJ joined me.

"Zhane's dying." TJ whispered to me. I looked at TJ.

"Oh. I said simply, returning to see Carlos shoved a plate near Zhane.

"Here, have some more of my spinach." Carlos said. Zhane looks at Carlos and pushes plate away.

"I hate spinach." Zhane said. "Maybe just a little of the pie." Ashley grabs plate.

"Sure, I'll get it for you." Ashley said, grabbing a slice of pie. "Here you go."

"Wait! That's not healthy." Cassie exclaimed.

"But that's he wants pie." Ashley pointed out.

"But it's not good for him." Cassie stated.

"But that's what he wants." Ashley said. Carlos watched girls as Zhane eye's the pie. "Give it to him."

"He's going to...he needs strength." Cassie said. Zhane smiles.

"So."

"Nutrition!" Cassie said forcefully.

"He wants it. Cassie!" Ashley said. I shook my head. Zhane was enjoying this and I think Ashley and Cassie could go on like this for a while.

Dec. 1st 2025(March 30th 1998)

TJ, Andros, Ashley, Cassie and Carlos think Zhane is DYING! The worst part is I am keeping a secret for Zhane. This is so not going to end well. Zhane has an appointment with Alpha tomorrow to see why he suddenly demorphs. I hope it's nothing serious and that it can be fixed. Zhane is enjoying the "special" treatment the others are giving him. And I haven't really seen Ashley and Cassie argue with each other like I saw them today. It was over pie and Zhane and how the pie wasn't healthy. In my opinion it was a fruit pie…so it was sorta healthy. Anyway, Zhane got half of the pie. So everyone was happy.

I hope Zhane tells the others tomorrow about what's going on…I hope we find out what's going on. Alpha is amazing, so I trust he'll figure out what's wrong.

Just one full day on the Astro Ship left with the rangers before the Time Traveler and I leave again.

The next day. In the Astro Ship's Medical Office.

"Ah HA! Its seems that your morphing energy was slowly drained during your hyper sleep." Alpha said. Zhane and I take a look at screen.

"I knew you'd figure it out Alpha!" I smiled.

"So it's kind of like a car that's been parked too long?" Zhane asked Alpha.

"Exactly."

"It should be an easy fix, right?" I asked.

"All Zhane needs is a concentrated dose of high voltage electricity to restore it." Alpha explained.

"Good." I said with a smile.

"So my batteries low huh?" Zhane stated.

"That's right." Alpha said. I could tell that Zhane was thinking.

"Zhane…what are you thinking about?" I asked.

"I've got to find a way to jump start it." Zhane starts walking around.

"Yes, Other than that, you're perfectly healthy." Alpha confirmed.

"That's not what the others think." Zhane stated.

"What do you mean?" Alpha asked. Zhane bended over and motioned Alpha to come closer.

"Come here." Zhane said. I rolled my eyes as Alpha moved closer. "They think I'm dying."

"Ayaiyaiyai! Zhane! You've got to tell them the truth!"

"That's what I said!" I said, facing Alpha and Zhane.

"No way. I've got a good thing going here." Zhane said, leaving office. I rolled my eyes and followed. We spot the rangers running. "Hey guys." The rangers stop.

"Hey Zhane. Emma. What's up?" Andros said quickly.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Where you going?" Zhane asked.

"Just down to earth. No big deal." TJ added.

"Just a minor disturbance, don't you worry about it. BYE!" Ashley said and the rangers were gone.

"But I…" Zhane follows them and I follow Zhane. "Guys Wait!" The rangers turn. "Hey guys, I'll go with you."

"No! I mean…you better stay and take it easy." Andros said quickly.

"Hey guys…there's something I got to tell you. I…" Zhane started.

"When we get back. Let's do it." Andros said and the rangers jump into their pods.

"But!" Zhane said, but they were gone.

"You should have told them yesterday you weren't dying and MAYBE you could have gone with them." I stated.

Zhane and I walked into the bridge and we start watching the battle.

"I can't just stand here and watch them. I've got to go help." Zhane stated.

"Should have thought of that earlier." I stated.

"You can't go. It's not safe." Alpha stated.

"But I've got to do something." Zhane said, getting frustrated. He turned. "What good is the silver ranger if he can't even morph?"

"I'm doing just fine not being able to morph thank you very much." I stated. Zhane start thinking.

"Wait a second. DECA bring up the Global weather map." Zhane said quickly. I was confused.

"Weather Map online." DECA sounded.

"I'm confused. What do you need with a weather map?" I asked.

"I need to find a lightning storm." Zhane said.

"What?" I exclaimed.

"Zhane no. It's too dangerous." Alpha stated.

"It's my only chance." Zhane said to us. DECA zooms in on California storm. "Yeah…right there." Zhane pointed to a storm cell. Zhane starts running.

"Zhane! You're crazy!" I yelled after him.

"Zhane! Come back! Ayaiyaiyai." I looked at Alpha.

"For his sake, this better work." I said.

Alpha and I watched the screen. Rangers are fighting and losing. Zhane arrives and starts fighting. However, he gets trapped. The rangers start running to save him, but they are out of time and Zhane is suddenly gone in a puff of smoke. Andros is not happy about losing Zhane. The rangers keep fighting then Zhane appears again. The monster grows. The rangers call on Megazord and they take the monster down.

Back on ship I was sitting in the Bridge waiting for the rangers to come back. Andros, Carlos and TJ enter. I turned around.

"TJ. Andros. Carlos." I said, getting up from the chair. "I need to tell you something important."

"Emma, is something wrong?" TJ asked.

"It's about Zhane." I said. This got their attention.

"What about Zhane?" Andros asked.

"He's not going to like that I'm telling you this, but uh…" I sighed and hung my head back, looking up at the ceiling.

"Well?" Carlos asked.

"He's not going to die." I said finally. Andros, Carlos and TJ looked at me. "He was having some issues of staying morphed, so he was talking to Alpha and they figured out what was wrong and he fixed it and…" I looked at TJ, Carlos and Andros. "He'll be fine."

"You knew?" TJ asked. I nodded slowly.

"Alpha told me and then he overheard you guys talking yesterday and he told me not to tell you guys." I sighed. "I told him to tell you guys, but he wasn't listening." TJ, Carlos and Andros were exchanging glances with each other, all three thinking about a way to take revenge. "Are you guys mad that I didn't tell you sooner?" TJ and Andros looked back at me.

"Of course not." TJ said. "You did the right thing."

"And don't tell Zhane you told us." Andros said. "We've got this handled."

"Yeah." Carlos agreed.

"Um…ok." I said, wanting to know their plan, but also, not wanting to know.

Zhane and I walked towards the cafeteria.

"And he was ok." TJ said.

"Yeah, can you believe that? He didn't even tell us." Carlos stated as Zhane and I entered.

"Oh Zhane." Ashley said, making the others turn and stood up. "There you are."

"You shouldn't be on your feet. Come on sit down." Andros said. I moved towards TJ.

"That's ok." Zhane said. I smiled.

"No, man. Sit." Andros said, pushing Zhane down into the chair.

"Yeah, just relax have some juice." Cassie said. Zhane takes glass.

"Don't mind if I do." Zhane said, taking a drink. He quickly spits it out. "Oh! Awful!"

"Oh. I know. It's spinach juice. But it's good for you. Since your so…sick and all." Cassie stated. Zhane looks around and stood up.

"You guys caught on to me. Can't you take a joke?" Zhane asked, as he starts backing away. "Just having fun."

"Uh huh…" Cassie and Ashley said. Zhane continued backing away as we walk towards him.

"I was going to tell you." Zhane said.

"Then you're not sick at all then? Right?" Carlos asked.

"No. I never felt better." Zhane stated.

"Good." TJ said, handing Zhane a Duster. "Then you'll be in great shape to clean the mega ship."

"From top to bottom." Andros stated.

"Top to bottom?" Zhane asked. I nodded.

"That's what the man said." Alpha said, walking by. Zhane sighed. TJ wrapped his arm around me.

"Next time, don't have Emma lie for you either." TJ added to Zhane. Zhane turned and started to walk away. We all started laughing.

"At least he learned his lesson." I said, looking at the others. "And you're not mad at me for not telling you yesterday?"

"No." Ashley, Cassie and Carlos said in unison.

"You thought Zhane was going to tell us." Andros said. "Besides," Andros patted my shoulder. "That was a lot of fun." We started laughing again. Cassie, Andros, Ashley, TJ, Carlos and I sat grabbed some food and sat down to eat.

"Oh…so this is my last full day here. I leave tomorrow." I said. Everyone looked up.

"Really?" Cassie said. I nodded.

"Feels like you only just go here." Ashley said.

"I know…" I said. "We'll just have to make the best of it."

Dec. 2nd 2025(March 31st 1998)

So Andros, TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie found out that Zhane was keeping a secret about his morphing issues. They seemed to take it well. Made him clean the Astro Ship. The Rangers were able to defeat the most recent monster. Zhane went to help them and almost got himself hurt. After confronting Zhane, I spent the remainder of the day hanging out with Zhane, Andros, TJ, Cassie, Carlos and Ashley. We didn't really do much, but just spending time with them was enough. It's going to be weird to leave, but I'll be fine with getting off the Astro Ship, but I'll also miss it. I hope I can get home soon…but I've learned with the Time Traveler that I should just go with the flow.

I got up and dressed. I made sure my bags were packed before grabbing some breakfast and joining the others in the bridge. I went to the bridge, but no one was there. It took me awhile, but I found Andros working in another room and I helped him out for a bit until lunch. That's when I found the others. Apparently TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie went down to earth to get a few things. Zhane was with Alpha on the other side of the Astro Ship. We hung out until about three. That's when I grabbed my stuff.

"How is this going to work?" I asked, entering the bridge. "I just appeared on the ship."

"We'll, maybe if the Time Traveler sees you on earth, he'll appear." TJ suggested. I looked at them.

"Ok. I'll take your word for it." I said. I looked at Andros, Zhane, Carlos, TJ, Cassie, Ashley and Alpha standing around the bridge. It was time for good byes. "Thanks for an eventful week." I started. "Andros. Zhane. It was great getting to know you. I had a lot of fun." Zhane and I exchanged a high-five. Andros gave me a smile. I gave TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie a hug. "It was great spending the week with you guys again." I said. "I'm glad I was able to get to know you more this week."

"Same to you Emma." Ashley said. I looked at Andros.

"I hope you find your sister Andros." I said with a smile.

"Come on. We're going to head down to earth." TJ said. I turned and left with TJ and Cassie. We left in the pods and headed to earth. It was weird being back on Earth.

"So, you guys never told me why you were in space." I stated.

"We followed Divatox." Cassie stated. "She still attacks Earth, because she's trying to stop us from finding…Zordon."

"Zordon?" I asked. TJ and Cassie nodded.

"Yeah." TJ said just as the Time Traveler appeared.

"I was hoping to see you White Ranger." Time Traveler said. "It's been awhile."

"I was on ship." I said, moving away from Cassie and TJ and towards the Time Traveler. "Can we go now?"

"You are so inpatient." The Time Traveler said. He started to bring his hand up to the clock.

"Bye TJ. Bye Cassie. Tell the others I said bye as well." I said, moving towards the Time Traveler. The Time Traveler and I disappeared.
