A/N: This is one of my favourite Space episodes.
Answers to reviews:
Guest 1: Will you stop asking me to do a Teen Titians story, because I don't really like them. I'm more a Marvel than DC fan when it comes to comics.
Guest 2: Your MF idea I'll consider, but you NS one is a no, as most of my Rangers are either gonna be purple or orange - if I was to make an expectation, they'd either be white or black - and as for your DT one, I'm afraid I can't answer.
Last time on Power Rangers in Space...
Carlos watches Andros' video of him and Karone from a doorway on the Megaship. Karone then screamed as a monster picked her up.
Bulk imagines holding an alien egg, which hatches, and then a claw comes out and grabs him.
"Ahh!" Skull screamed, turning to him.
Andros looks around his home planet for Karone.
"I know you're here!" he called. "Show yourself?!"
Ecliptor then showed up and charged at him, and then hit him in the back, knocking him down.
Carlos dives in front of Andros as lasers fire at them both, taking the full blast.
"Ahh!" he moaned.
Ecliptor - now giant - shot fire out of his mouth at Andros. He moaned as sparks came out near him, and then an explosion knocked him off his feet.
TJ and the girls fly towards Ecliptor on their Galaxy Gilders, with their weapons out on their Astro Blasters.
"Astro Blasters, fire!" TJ shouted, before their fired their weapons at Ecliptor.
Carlos and Andros stand inside the exercise room on the Megaship.
"We're a team." Carlos said.
"They're a pretty good team, huh?" Andros asked.
"Yeah." Carlos said, before they shook hands.
In space, two Veloifighters flew towards a NASADA satellite, which was hovering above a orange planet.
"Aha, there's the satellite!" Elgar grinned, who was flying one. "Sayonara!"
He fired lasers out of his Veloifighter, which then hit the satellite, causing it to fall towards the planet.
"Ha, ha! Guess what, Astronema? I think I got it!" Elgar whooped.
He looked down on a small screen below, which showed some Quantrons on the Dark Fortress. Astronema's hands then showed up behind a control panel, and then she - now with curly blonde hair - lifted herself up.
"You think?" she inquired.
"Well, yeah. I mean, I hit it." Elgar explained. "And then it crashed somewhere down on this planet over-"
"Make sure!" Astronema ordered. "That satellite knows too much."
"Affirmatroy." Elgar said, saluting. "Elgar, over and out!"
He pressed a button on his controls, then the two Veloifighters flew down towards the planet.
Meanwhile, onboard the Astro Megaship, Andros, Mel and Cassie were standing behind the handle controls on the bridge, Alpha walked towards the right wall, and Carlos and Ashley came out of the elevator.
"We have an encrypted video transmission." DECA reported, as TJ joined the others.
"Meaning what?" Ashley inquired.
"Meaning it's top secret." Andros translated.
"I wonder whose calling us then?" Mel wondered, folding her arms.
The viewing screen then showed Gen. Norquist of NASADA.
"Power Rangers, if you can hear me, NASADA needs your help." he explained.
TJ and Carlos turned to each other confused.
"Huh?" Mel muttered.

Ah...in Space!
The Rangers kept watching Gen. Norquist's message.
"An exploration satellite has been attacked, crashed onto the planet called Kalderon." he explained. "These are the last images we received."
The video showed Elgar shooting the satellite down.
"The information it has gathered, is invaluable to the space program." Gen. Norquist explained, coming back onto the screen. "If you get this message, please try to retrieve the data discs. It would mean, that eight years of scientific study had not been wasted. We currently have no spacecraft to make this journey."
He took his glasses off.
"You're our only hope." he said.
The video then went static.
"End of message." Alpha said, turning to the Rangers.
"Why would Astronema be after a satellite?" Cassie wondered.
"Maybe it saw something while exploring." Carlos suggested.
"Yeah, something she doesn't want us to see." Mel realized.
The Rangers thought for a minute.
"Zordon." Ashley gasped.
"Set a course for Kalderon!" Andros ordered, agreeing with her.
Carlos, Mel and TJ took their positions near the handle controls, while Ashley, Andros and Cassie sat down in the seats in the center controls. They all began pressing buttons, and then the Megaship jumped to hyperspace.
On Kalderon, which was a hot sandy planet, filled with some volcanos, a bunch of Quantrons were looking around for the satellite, while one fanned Elgar, who was lying on a long chair under an umbrella.
"I am working myself to the bone here!" he said, picking up a drink. "Come on, you robotic rust buckets! Find that satellite! Hurry!"
A Quantron searched behind a bush.
"Hey, you down there!" Elgar called, getting its attention. "Yeah, you! Be a pal and toss me the sunscreen. I think I'm starting to turn a little pink here."
The Quantron fanning him picked up the sunscreen from the table, and then handed it to him.
"Elgar!" Astronema's voice bellowed, making the ground shake.
"Ahh!" Elgar yelped, getting up.
(Dark Fortress)
Astronema was standing on the bridge, with some Quantrons standing near the controls.
"How do you expect to find the satellite sitting around like that?" she inquired, watching Elgar on the viewing screen.
(Kalderon)
"Oh, don't worry. We're out on the trail, Astronema." Elgar assured, looking up at the sky. "Hey, uh, I was..."
(Dark Fortress)
"..thinking, maybe it fell into one of these lava lakes and burned to a crisp." Elgar said, pointing to a lava lake near him.
Astronema looked disgusted. "Don't' think, find!" she sneered.
"Uh, yeah." Elgar stuttered. "You got it!"
Astronema turned away from the screen, and then hummed as she walked towards a Quantron by the scanner. She then looked at the scanner, and saw something on it.
"Power Rangers, coming this way? Hurry up! Find that satellite before they get here!" she ordered, turning back to the screen.
(Kalderon)
"Understood." Elgar said, before turning to the Quantron that'd been fanning him. "Break's over, guys."
(Dark Fortress)
Astronema patted a Quantron's head.
"Meanwhile, let's send them a welcoming party." she decided. "Fire up the Veloifighters!"
Meanwhile, the Megaship came out of hyperspace, and then Andros picked up something.
"Ashley, can you get a visual?" he asked.
"Sure." Ashley replied.
She pressed buttons on the controls, and then saw three Veloifighters on the scanner.
"Veloifighters, three of them!" she reported. "Coming up behind us!"
"Shields to full!" Andros ordered.
"Right!" Mel said, powering up the shields.
"Cassie, on the Mega Lasers!" Andros ordered.
"Mega Lasers, online!" Cassie reported, pressing buttons.
"Carlos, bring us to bare on target!" Andros ordered.
"Right!" Carlos obeyed.
The three Veloifighters got closer to the Megaship, and then the Quantrons inside pressed their controls.
On the Megaship, Carlos took one of the handles, as he and TJ pressed buttons on the controls, while Mel kept powering up the shields. They then all looked at the viewing screen, as the Veloifighters fired at the Megaship, hitting its top.
"Ugh!" the Rangers moaned, as the ship shook.
"Mel, power the shields up!" Andros ordered.
"I am!" Mel argued.
The three Veloifighters came in closer towards the Megaship, and then fired at it again.
"Ughh!" Ashley gritted, holding onto her controls.
The Veloifighters fired again, hitting the Megaship's top.
"Uh!" Cassie groaned.
The Veloifighters kept coming up behind the Megaship.
"Bring us around!" Andros ordered.
The Megaship moved sharply to the right, as the Veloifighters broke off in different directions - two getting in front of it.
"Fire!" Andros shouted.
The Megaship fired its lasers at the Veloifighters, hitting and destroying one.
"Oh, yes!" Alpha cheered.
"Bullseye!" Mel whooped.
A second Veloifighter came up from above the Megaship, then the Rangers looked up at the ceiling as it flew over the Megaship. It then flew past the third, which then came up behind the Megaship, which turned its lasers around.
"Fire!" Andros ordered.
The Megaship fired its lasers at the Veloifighter, which hit and destroyed it.
"Oh!" Alpha yelped, as he and Cassie turned slightly.
"Yes!" TJ cheered.
The final Veloifighter flew through the fire made by the recently destroyed one, and came up behind the Megaship.
"We've got one left!" Ashely reported.
"Scanning." Carlos said, as he began scanning for it. "Got it! He's behind us!"
"We can't get a lock, not at this angle!" Cassie reported, checking where it was.
"He's coming around again!" TJ reported.
"He'll blast out the engines at his angle!" Mel reported.
The Megaship began swerving around as the Veloifighter stayed on its tail.
"Reverse engines on my command!" Andros ordered.
"Almost within range!" TJ reported.
"Now!" Andros ordered.
"Right!" Mel understood.
The Megaship slowed down its speed, then the Quantron inside the Veloifighter panicked. The Megaship then lifted itself sharply to the left, making the Veloifighter fly right past it, before it leveled out.
"Fire!" Andros ordered.
Cassie pressed a button, firing the lasers at the Veloifighter, hitting and destroying it.
"Nice move!" TJ cheered.
"Whoo!" Mel whooped.
Ashley clapped her hands and turned to Carlos. "Yes!" she cheered.
TJ, Carlos and Mel all clapped their hands, while Cassie and Ashley both patted one of Andros' shoulders. TJ then high-fived Alpha, then high-fived Mel, and then turned and high-fived Carlos.
The Megaship then flew towards the planet Kalderon.
A few minutes later, the Rangers walked down a hallway towards the recreation room.
"Let's just hope we find that satellite before Astronema does." Andros hoped.
Once in the recreation room, they all walked towards their jump tubes. They then held their right hands out, turned and grabbed their handle bars, and then jumped down their jump tubes. They then all morphed and rode their Galaxy Gilders down towards the planet.
Once on the planet, they powered down and looked around, each carrying a canteen, as it was so hot, and Andros carrying a tracker as well. He bashed his canteen and tracker together, before turning to the others.
"Nothing's gonna work in this heat." he realized.
Carlos wiped some sweat off his forehead.
"Including me." Ashley breathed, before she drank some water.
"I'd go easy on that." Mel advised. "You never know how long we're gonna be here."
They then all stopped as Cassie put her morpher to her mouth as it beeped.
"Rangers...planet is..." Alpha explained, but the signal was bad. "..active volcano! It could erupt and any..."
Cassie closed her morpher. "Commination's are going down." she realized.
A large noise shook the entire ground, but then it stopped suddenly.
"What was that?" Mel asked frantically.
They all ran towards the edge of a hill, and saw the volcano Alpha was trying to tell them about.
"Alpha wasn't kidding." Andros said.
"We better find what we're looking for and get off this lava land fast." TJ said.
"The quicker we find that satellite, the better." Mel deduced.
Nearby, Elgar was fanning himself with his hat, as he and the Quantrons with him kept searching.
"Ooh, it's hot." he sighed, before spotting the Rangers. "Whoa!"
TJ turned to him. "Hey, guys, company!" he said.
The others all turned to Elgar and the Quantrons.
"Huh?" they muttered.
"Well, look whose here?" Elgar smirked. "You guys wouldn't happen to have a satellite memory disc on you, would ya?"
"Your mind must be melting, Elgar." Carlos retorted.
"Yeah, better get out of the sun!" Mel joked.
"Get them!" Elgar ordered.
The Rangers got ready to fight, as the Quantrons charged at them, then they charged at it.
Cassie spun around as she tried to punch one in the face, but missed as it ducked. She then blocked a punch from it with her elbow, then turned and blocked another's with her elbow, before punching it twice in the chest, knocking it back. She then ducked as a third tried to hit her with its blade, and then she kicked it in the chest, knocking it back.
Ashley ducked as one tried to slice her with its blade, then she blocked a kick from it, and then kicked another in the chest, knocking it away. She then ducked as a third tried to whack her in the head, and then she grabbed its back, and then kicked a fourth away from her.
Mel backed away as one sent a kick at her, then she ducked as it tried to kick her again, before side kicking it in the chest. She then dodged another's blade as it tried to stab her with it, then she grabbed the end of the blade as it pulled it back, and then she kicked it in the chest, knocking it down.
Andros ducked as Elgar tried to slice him with his sword, then spun around as he tried to slice him again. He then blocked a kick from Elgar, then blocked a punch from him, before he punched him in the chest with his sword hand.
Carlos punched one in the shoulder, then elbowed another in the chest as it came up behind him. He then ducked as a third tried to whack him in the head, then he sent a punch at the first, but missed as it ducked, and then it punched him in the chest, but then he blocked another punch from it.
TJ grabbed ones foot as it tried to kick him, and then he flipped it sideways, knocking it down. He then kicked another in the back, knocking it down off a small hill and down towards some more.
Cassie grabbed ones arm as it tried to punch her, then she spun around and flipped it over onto its back.
Ashley let go of the one she had, then ducked as another tried to slice her with its blade, then she spun around and kicked it in the hand, knocking it down.
Mel blocked ones punch with her forearm, then punched it in the chest twice, then spun around and tackled another which came up behind her, knocking it down.
Carlos grabbed ones arms, and then flipped it away. He then blocked another's punch, then punched it four times in the chest, then blocked another punch from it, and then punched it three more times.
Andros and Elgar got locked in a grapple, but then Andros pulled away and kicked Elgar in the chest, knocking him back.
"Ah!" he groaned, clutching his chest. "Whoa!"
Andros got ready to fight again, as they both heard a growl.
"Ah, that thing sounds hungry!" Elgar gasped. "And I do not want to be around when it gets here!"
He turned around and ran off.
"Bye-bye!"
Andros lowered his arms as he looked confused.
"Now, where's that trail?!" Elgar wondered, looking around frantically. "Oh, yeah, right here!"
He ran off, then the ground shook as Andros heard a growl, as the other Rangers gathered around him.
"At least we know they haven't found the satellite...yet." TJ breathed.
Another growl was then heard, making the ground shake.
"That...did not sound like a volcano." Cassie deduced.
"It sounded...alive." Carlos added.
"I don't want to know what that is." Mel squeaked worriedly.
"Let's not find out." Andros decided. "Come on!"
They then all ran off.
Elgar, meanwhile, walked past some large rocks.
"Oh, man! That Clawhammer is the scariest thing ever!" he said worriedly, backing towards Astronema, who was behind him. "I'm glad I didn't run into..."
"Well?" Astronema inquired, getting him to turn around.
"Whoa! Hey!" he gasped.
"What's taking you so long?!" Astronema demanded.
"Well, it's a big planet." Elgar said.
"Find that satellite before the Rangers!" Astronema demanded. "Or I'll feed you to Clawhammer for lunch!"
Elgar whimpered as Clawhammer growled in the distance, making the ground shake.
"As you wish." he said, bowing at Astronema once the shaking stopped.
Astronema smirked.
Meanwhile, the Rangers all climbed over a mountain, and kept looking around for the satellite. TJ went on ahead with the tracker, and then Andros opened his morpher up.
"We're south by two kilometers." he explained. "Give us a heading."
He only got static.
"Alpha? Come in, Megaship?" he said.
The tracker then went static as well.
"This thing's dead." TJ said, closing it.
"Looks like we're on our own." Andros sighed.
"Oh, where is that satellite!" Mel exclaimed, getting stressed as they all walked on.
"You got me." Cassie sighed.
Ashley - who was bringing up the rear - gasped as she saw something. She then ran towards it, and saw it was a giant skeleton.
"Ew." she said disgusted.
She then spotted a wire behind the skeleton.
"Hey." she said.
She bent in closer, and then picked up a gadget from the satellite.
"Guys!" she called.
The others all turned to her.
"I found something!" she said.
The others all ran towards her.
"I think it's a piece of the satellite." she said, handing it to Andros.
"We're close." Andros realized. "Come on!"
They all ran off past the skeleton.
About ten minutes later, Ashley found the satellite lying amongst some bushes.
"Hey, over here!" she called.
She ran towards it, then the others joined her, and then they all gathered around the satellite. They then all looked around for where the discs could be.
"In here!" Carlos said, spotting a few buttons.
Ashley pressed one of the buttons, and then a hatch opened up, showing four discs - one of which was damaged. Andros then carefully took the discs out one-by-one, then looked at them carefully, before Clawhammer growled again shook the ground again.
"Come on, let's get outta here." Andros said.
They all began to run off, when Astronema came up behind them.
"What's the hurry?" she asked.
The Rangers all stopped and turn around, and saw her, Elgar and a bunch of Quantrons.
"I'll take those memory discs?" she smirked.
Andros put them behind his back.
"Let's get 'em, boys!" Elgar smirked, as he and the Quantrons walked towards the Rangers.
"Let's Rocket!" Andros shouted.
The Rangers all pushed their right hands out, then pulled them back towards their morphers.
(Morph sequence)
The morphers opened up, and began pressing buttons on it.
"3,3,5!"
They then hit enter, and the lights beside the numbers lit up.
Andros then morphed into his Ranger suit, as he spun around, and the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, then his helmet symbol glowed.
TJ then morphed into his Ranger suit, as he spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then his helmet symbol glowed.
Carlos then morphed into his Ranger suit, as he spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then his helmet symbol glowed.
Cassie then morphed into her Ranger suit, as she spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed.
Ashley then morphed into her Ranger suit, as she spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed.
Mel then morphed into her Ranger suit, as she spun around as the words 'Morphing Complete' came up, and then her helmet symbol glowed.
(End morph sequence)
TJ then blocked a Quantron's punch by grabbing its arm, then knocked its arm up, then elbowed it in the chest, then grabbed its arm and flipped it over onto its back.
Ashley punched one in the chest, then turned and kicked another in the chest. She then spun around and elbowed a third in the chest, then grabbed a fourth's arm as it tried to punch her, then twirled around while pulling on its arm, and then she kicked it in the chest, knocking it down.
Mel dodged ones punch, then grabbed its arm as it tried to punch her again, then she spun around and pulled it over her shoulder. She then ducked and rolled forward as another tried to punch her, then she blocked a third's kick as it came at her, then she spun around and split kicked them both, knocking them down.
Astronema whacked her staff at Cassie, then whacked it against Carlos' foot as he tried to kick her. She then used it to block a kick from Cassie, and then kicked her in the chest, knocking her down.
Andros hid behind a rock, with the discs in one hand, and his Astro Blaster in the other. He hid behind it as some Quantrons fired lasers at him, then he fired his Astro Blaster at them, hitting two and knocking them down. He then jumped to his left and fired again, hitting another and knocking it down.
Astronema then hit Carlos in the chest with her staff as he came at her, and then hit him again with it, knocking him down. She then grinned as Cassie came up behind her, and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Ohh!" she groaned.
She then pulled back, which knocked Cassie down, making her roll over, but Cassie had ripped off her locket, which then landed on the ground.
"Ah!" Astronema gasped, touching her neck.
She growled as she approached Cassie - who got back up - but then she kicked her away.
"Ohh!" Cassie moaned, as she went flying away.
"Nobody touches this!" Astronema barked, picking her locket up.
Mel ran towards Cassie, as TJ and Ashley ran towards Carlos - who was clutching his chest.
"You alright, Cassie?" Mel asked, helping her up.
"I've been better." Cassie replied.
"Are you okay, Carlos?" TJ asked.
"Yeah, I think so." Carlos replied, as TJ and Ashley helped him up.
Astronema turned around and glared at the five of them. They all gasped as she aimed her staff at them, and fired purple lighting out of it at them, which hit the ground around them.
"Ahh!" they groaned, as they were knocked off their feet.
They all moaned as Quantrons came up behind them and lifted them up.
"Astronema!" Andros shouted.
Astronema turned as he ran towards her, but then she fired purple lighting out of her staff at him. The lighting then hit and sent sparks out of the ground around, making him twirl around in pain. He then stopped twirling, then fell to his knees, and then onto his chest, clutching the discs as he did.
Astronema then approached him and looked down at him.
"I'll take these." she said, snatching the discs from him.
"See, I told you we'd get the discs." Elgar grinned, as she kissed them.
"Guard these with your pathetic life!" she instructed, handing them to him.
"Right." he said.
Andros touched Astronema's leg. "You'll never...get away with this!" he groaned, before passing out.
"Tie them up!" Astronema ordered.
"You got it." Elgar grinned. "Now, this one won't hurt a bit."
He put the discs under his outfit, and bent down in front of Andros.
Later, the six Rangers were all chained to the ground by their hands and feet, in a star shape made from the six of them. (Mel was between TJ and Carlos)
Elgar finished wrapping the chain around Andros' left leg, then got up as he, Astronema and some Quantrons all stood around the Rangers.
"Sun roasted Rangers!" he sniggered.
The Rangers groaned as they tried to break free of the chains.
"What are you gonna do with us, Astronema?!" Andros demanded.
"I could destroy you now, but I've got something else in mind." Astronema explained. "I'll leave you here to Clawhammer can eat you for lunch."
Elgar laughed.
"And whose Clawhammer?!" Mel inquired.
The ground then shook, then everyone gasped as Clawhammer growled.
"That answer your question!" Elgar sneered. "That's like ultra evil."
"I've outdone myself, haven't I?" Astronema smirked.
"Again." Elgar smirked.
"Goodbye, Rangers, forever!" Astronema snapped.
The Rangers groaned as they kept trying to break free, while Andros looked at the discs.
"Alright, you Rangers, stay cool." Elgar said.
He, Astronema and the Quantrons all turned around and walked away, but he unknowingly dropped the discs as he did. They then all disappeared, as the Rangers kept trying to break free of the chains.
"Man, we're about to become human appetizers!" TJ groaned.
Clawhammer shook the ground again as he got closer to them.
"I don't want that to happen!" Mel cried.
"What is it?" TJ wondered.
"Whatever it is, here it comes!" Andros gasped.
Clawhammer - which was a giant crab monster - then came from around a hill in front of Andros.
Meanwhile, as the Megaship flew above the planet, Alpha was trying to contact the Rangers on the bridge.
"Rangers, come in!" he cried, standing near the right controls. "Oh, where are you?!"
"Commination links are overheated." DECA reported.
Alpha turned and walked towards the center controls.
"Well, you're the space computer. What do you suppose we do, DECA?" Alpha asked.
"We can do a visual search." DECA answered.
"Well, I suppose it's better than nothing." Alpha deduced, as he began pressing buttons on the controls.
"Changing visual to latitude 3.0." DECA said.
Alpha looked at the viewing screen, as it showed Kalderon's surface.
(Kalderon)
The ground shook as Clawhammer got closer to the Rangers.
"It's getting closer!" Cassie grunted.
"We've gotta get outta here!" Mel cried.
Clawhammer growled.
"There it is!" Carlos shouted, spotting it.
"It's big!" Ashley exclaimed.
"And ugly too!" Andros added.
Clawhammer growled as he towered over the Rangers.
(Megaship)
Alpha saw the Rangers on the viewing screen.
"There they are!" he exclaimed.
The viewing screen went from the Rangers to Clawhammer.
"Oh, no, Rangers!" Alpha exclaimed helplessly. "There's nothing I can do to help from up here!"
Clwahammer growled again.
"Ooh! Wait! If we can't help them for here, then we have to go down there and help them." Alpha realized. "Right?"
"I think I know what you are suggesting, Alpha." DECA said.
"Yes! We've got to do it." Alpha said, pressing buttons on the computer. "Initiate Astro Megazord transformation!"
The front of the Megaship then split in half, and went down either side of it, the controls on autopilot.
"Megaship transformation initiated." DECA reported.
The shuttle - now separated from the Megaship - spun around as it flew back towards it. The front of the Megaship then split in half, and went down either side of it, as the shuttle flew towards the top of the bits that split.
The back of the shuttle retracted itself, then the front of it lifted it, showing a head. The sides of the Megaship then came out slightly, then turned slightly, forming some arms, while the bits that had split lowered themselves and changed into leg shapes. The shuttle then attached itself to the top, forming the Astro Megazord.
(Kalderon)
The Rangers kept trying to break free of the chains, as Clawhammer got closer to them.
The Astro Megazord then shot down towards Kalderon, then it held a shield out as it began to burn up upon entering the atmosphere. It then landed in front of Clawhammer, holding its saber out.
"Huh?" Cassie gasped, as the Rangers looked at it - expect Mel as she couldn't lift her head back.
"What?!" Andros gasped. "This can't be!"
Clawhammer growled as he turned to the Astro Megazord. They both then began to circle each other, then Clawhammer fired a frisbee beam at the Astro Megazord.
"Whoa!" Alpha exclaimed. "Defences online!"
He pressed buttons on the controls, making the cockpit controls move by themselves.
The Astro Megazord then grabbed the frisbee beam on its saber, and then then it right back at Clawhammer, hitting him in the chest.
"Nice shot, Alpha." DECA commented.
"Now time to go on the offensive." Alpha decided. "Attack!"
The controls moved by themselves again, and then the Astro Megazord charged at Clawhammer. He growled as the it hit it in the chest with its saber, then it hit him again as it ran past him. It then tried to hit him again, but it grabbed its arm with his claw, and then lowered it down.
"AY-Yi-Yi!" Alpha exclaimed.
"You must get the saber loose, Alpha." DECA explained.
"I'm trying! I'm trying!" Alpha panicked, before pressing buttons on the controls. "Come on!"
The controls kept moving by themselves, and then the Astro Megazord lifted its right arm up, freeing the saber and knocking Clawhammer back. He then hit it twice in the chest with his claws, damaging its chest. They then both got locked in a grapple, then twirled around, then Clawhammer lowered the Astro Megazord's arms, and then headbutted it twice, knocking it back.
"Whoa!" Alpha yelped, as the room shook. "Yikes!"
On the ground, the Rangers - apart from Mel because of her angle - all looked up at the Astro Megazord as the ground shook.
"Whose controlling the Zord?" Carlos wondered.
"You got me!" Mel shrugged.
Clawhammer and the Astro Megazord got locked in another grapple, as they got close to a crevice created by the volcano, as fire came shooting up from it. He then grabbed it by the neck, sending sparks out all over it, and then he pushed it into the crevice. It managed to grab hold of a loose rock however, keeping itself from falling into the crevice, as he laughed while it tried to climb back up.
The Rangers kept moaning as they tried to free themselves from the chains, when Andros saw his Astro Blaster lying nearby.
"If I can just...concentrate!" he said, grunting, holding his hand out.
He began using his telekinesis to pull the blaster towards him.
"Come on!" he grunted. "Come on!"
He grunted as his blaster finally lifted up and went into his hand.
"Got it!" he grunted.
He fired the blaster at his left hand, freeing it from the chains.
"Yes!" Ashley sighed in relief.
Andros put the blaster in his left hand, and then fired it at his right hand, freeing it. He then fired at Ashley's legs, then TJ's and Mel's arms, and then at all the other chains, freeing everyone.
"Alright." Cassie grinned, as they got up.
They all looked up at Clawhammer.
"Alpha must be inside there." Ashley realized.
"Pretty brave of him." Mel admitted.
Clawhammer whacked the Astro Megazord's left arm as it tried to climb out of the crevice.
"Come on!" Andros said, as they ran off, picking up the discs as he did. "We've gotta hurry!"
Clawhammer kept hitting the Astro Megazord's arms, trying to knock it into the crevice, and then it lost its grip.
"Ahh!" Alpha yelped, as the bridge shook. "We can't hold on much longer!"
Clawhammer lifted his left claw up, powered it up, then bent it down to hit the Astro Megazord again.
"Wha?!" Andros yelped, grabbing the controls once in the cockpit.
The Astro Megazord lifted its right arm up, and blocked Clawhammer's claw.
"Let's do it!" Andros said, sitting down in his seat.
"Ready." Carlos said, strapping it.
"I'm in." TJ said, strapping in.
The Astro Megazord then punched Clawhammer in the face, knocking him away and onto the ground.
"Right." Ashley said, strapping in.
"Yeah." Cassie grinned, strapping in.
"Whoo." Mel sighed, strapping in.
"Good job, Alpha." Andros remarked. "We're back."
"Ho-ho, Rangers!" Alpha cheered on the bridge.
"Let's see how touch this guy really is!" Andros smirked, pulling the controls.
The Astro Megazord jumped out of the crevice, then landed on the ground as Clawhammer got up and growled. It then got ready to fight, as he charged at it, but then it kicked it in the leg, knocking him back. It then kicked him in the chest, and then kicked it again and again, then it grabbed his antennas, and then pulled him slightly. He then growled as it headbutted him three times, then lifted him up and banged him against the ground, then lifted him up again and spun him around, but then the antennas snapped, sending him flying away, as it fell down.
"Time to cook this crustacean!" Andros decided, pressing a button behind a lever.
Clawhammer grappled the Astro Megazord, which then grabbed him in by face, lifted him up, then spun around, and then threw him down the fiery crevice, destroying him.
Later, onboard the Dark Fortress, Astronema and Elgar were on the bridge with some Quantrons.
"Okay, give me the discs?" Astronema asked, holding her hand out.
"Right." Elgar said.
He felt his outfit, but found out the discs were gone.
"Uh...uh... Gee... Uh, are you sure you gave them to me?" he asked.
Astronema frowned.
"Are you sure it wasn't this guy?" Elgar asked, dragging a Quantron near him. "Check his pockets!"
The Quantron pulled away, and then Astronema scowled.
"You...lost them!" she sneered.
"I don't know. Maybe they fell into a lave lake or something?" Elgar suggested hopefully.
"Time to play with scruetly." Astronema grinned.
"No! Not scruetly!" Elgar begged, as she dragged him away. "Not scruetly! No, not scruetly!"
The Quantron covered its eyes, as Astronema opened a door, and threw Elgar in it.
"Noooo!" he cried.
Astronema opened a small hatch, and leaned in.
"No! Help! You can't keep me in here!" Elgar cried. "Whoa!"
"Ooh. Scruetly loves to play." Astronema grinned.
"No, no, get away!" Elgar cried. "Get away!"
Meanwhile, as the Megaship flew through space, the Rangers all stood on the bridge morphed. Ashley took one of the discs out of the center controls, and then walked towards the others.
"That's the last transmission, Andros." she explained.
"Alright, thanks." Andros said, taking the disc.
The viewing screen then showed Gen. Norquist and members of NASADA.
"Thank you, Rangers." the Gen. said. "You've saved eight years of scientific research. I'm sorry our discs were of no help to you."
"Me too, Commander." Andros said sadly. "But we'll find what we're looking for, someday."
"Good luck, Rangers." the Gen. said hopefully, before the viewing screen went black.
"Power down!" Andros shouted.
The Rangers crossed their fists over each other, then lowered them as they de-morphed. They then all gathered around the handle controls, and then Ashley picked up the damaged disc.
"Well, if we only knew what was on this disc." she said.
"Well, maybe it was nothing." Andros shrugged.
"It might've been the most important though." Mel sighed.
"Mel's right. Maybe it was everything." Cassie agreed.
TJ then smiled.
"Anybody up for a quick vacation on the SimuDeck?" he asked.
"Yeah." Ashley said.
"I'm ready." Carlos said.
"Count me in." Mel smiled.
"Someplace cold I hope." Ashley said nervously.
Cassie nodded.
"Switzerland." TJ told them. "Snowboarding."
"Mmm." Cassie muttered dreamily.
"Ha, ha, whoo!" Ashley laughed.
Carlos smiled.
"I prefer skiing to snowboarding." Mel admitted, as they all walked towards the elevator.
The girls laughed as they walked through it.
"Yeah." Carlos grinned.
"Oh, can't wait." Cassie smiled, as the door closed behind Andros.
Alpha then picked up the damaged disc.
"Oh. Were we close, Zordon? I wonder, I wonder." he said sadly.
Next time on Power Rangers in Space...
Adelle stands behind the counter in the Surf Spot.
"It was a big white van." she said. "Says 'Surf Spot' right on the side."
A boy chews some chewing gum, while two Police Officers stand opposite Adelle.
"And you think someone stole it around ten this morning?" one asked.
Sara stares at a boy and a girl standing by a pool table, while she looked a wreck.
"What are they up to?" she wondered.
Andros approaches three teens outside near a car.
"What are you guys doing?" he asked.
A man runs off with an old lady's purse.
"Stop! Thief!" she cried.
Andros comes in front of the thief, and begins wrestling over the purse.
He then climbs into a car with the three teens.
"If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a thief." he said.
A monster approaches the three teens in a junkyard, then Andros jumps and kicks it in the back.
"You want them, you gotta go through me!" he snarled.
Lighting goes through a bunch of power lines, and then the monster shows up again, and growls.
The three teens begin unloading Adelle's van.
"Hey, that's Adelle's missing van." Andros said, approaching them.
The monster grabs one of the boys and flings him away.
