(Author's Note: This is another one I started back in my REALLY early days of writing Fanfics. While it was dumb, I enjoyed it and had somewhat more of a plan of where I wanted to go with the plot. But unfortunately, due to my own anxiety and lack of self esteem and criticism from my friends, I ultimately dropped it and since have not had much desire to go back and redo this one as in retrospect, I didn't like what I was doing with it in any aspect. But alas, might as well ARCHIVE it. Here we go and let me know what you think of the chapters I pumped out in my highschool years and Power Rangers In Space craze. Thank you.)


Ruins of a Lost Colony

Space, an endless void filled with endless possibilities. It is here we can see the astro megaship flying heading towards the small brown planet below. Inside the large ship, the members, Andros, Theodore Jay "T.J." Jarvis Johnson, Carlos Vallerte,

Cassie Chan, Ashley Hammond, and Zhane, at their rightful stations at the front viewing at the planet. "Commander Kinwon, we're approaching the system." Andros announced from the com system at the main console.

"Roger that Andros". He responded."You may proceed."

"Be careful down there, rangers" Tykwa added. "Even with Astronema gone, there are still those who would want to take over."

Keeping the enthusiasm up, Carlos commented "Don't worry about it. There's nothing we can't handle."

As the team let out slight laughs, Andros said "Alright, we'll be landing momentarily, we'll let you know how it goes."

"Do you think the people down there are still enslaved?" Ashley asked as she was standing next to Andros.

"I'm not sure" he answered looking back at her. "When Zordon was destroyed all traces of evil should have been extinguished. But we should be prepared for anything."

With the planet getting into closer distance, the rangers got to work at their proper stations. "We're getting close to 50 kilometers" Cassie announced taking a look at a map of the planet.

"With the mountains causing rough ground, we won't be able to land close to those mines.

As they entered the planet's atmosphere, the jet was struggling to stabilize as TJ announced "stabilizers are having trouble keeping us up with the gas in the air.

"She'll hold together" Zhane replied. "The ship's never let us down before." After the defeat of Astronema, the rangers had been helping the rebels secure planets that were once held under her control and hopefully rescue

the people on them.

"Speak for yourself" Andros commented sarcastically as he was controlling the ship, trying to keep it steady. Ashley was holding onto him as he slowly lowered their altitude. They were getting in close as Cassie announced "30 meters."

Trying to find a clear place to land, Andros called out "hang onto something!" The rangers did as they were told as the altitude was getting closer. "20 meters, 15, 10." Before they knew it, the mega ship could levitate any

longer as they hit the ground hard and slid onto the surface. And the brakes, being the only thing that brought them to a stop.

With the ship landed, Andros asked the team, "you guys okay?"

"Well that wasn't one of our smoothest landings but all good here" TJ replied.

"We're okay" Carlos called out speaking on behalf of him and Cassie.

Zhane stated "so far so good."

Looking back at Ashley, he asked her "you alright?" putting his hand on hers which she still had on his shoulder. She gave Andros a nod in response. Stepping away from the console, Andros announced "come guys, let's get out there."

As they followed behind, Zhane replied "I'll stay with the ship and make sure we have a quick set away in case you guys get into trouble out there."

Turning around, Andros gave him a quick nod. With the team walking out of the ship, he informed the team "hopefully the mines will be abandoned leaving only the colonists. Once we get the colonists, we'll escort them to the ship and get them

off the planet. We should stay morphed while we're out there, even though only the southern parts of the planet are toxic, we can never be too careful."

Surprised about how much Andros knew, TJ asked him "how do you know so much about this planet?" "The rebels had known of this planet and its people for a while. We had planned a rescue mission but when Astronema was in control, we couldn't

risk it." Once they were at the hangar, he shouted 'alright guys, LET'S ROCKET!" As they raised out their left arm, each pressed in the numbers '3-3-5' the team initiated the morphing sequence as they suit up, Within a minute, they jumped

onto their galaxy gliders and were headed to their destination.

Riding along, the closer they got to the mines, there were large rock structures surrounding the area. And after a few minutes, they had arrived at the open mountain pass that would lead into the mines. From the looks of things, no one was around

as the rangers slowly made their way in. "It's a little quiet in here" Cassie stated as she took a look around.

"I know, I'm not sure I like it" Carlos replied. Seeing no one around, he then asked "where is everybody?"

"I don't know" Andros replied.

Seeing something, Ashley announced "I think I do, look over there." Pointing to someone who was on the ground.

Running up to it, TJ knelt down and pointed out "it's one of the colonists. It's no good, he's gone."

Taking a look around, Cassie stated, "there's a lot more where that came from. They're scattered everywhere." Ashley and Carlos quickly turned to see the rest of the bodies.

"We're too late" Ashley stated with a tone of dread in her voice.

Seeing something odd, Andros pointed out "maybe not."

He then went around to the other side of the body and took a closer look.

"What is it?" TJ asked wondering what Andros was looking at. Putting a hand on the victim's neck, there was a oozing slime on his neck. "Ew, gross" Cassie commented seeing it.

"What is that?" Ashley asked.

"It's a bug spit venom, but their not from this system." Andros answered.

"Maybe the bugs invaded and the colonists tried to take refuge in the mines." TJ implied, theorizing what could have possibly happened.

As Cassie searched another body, she announced to the others "guys, some of the marks are still fresh. We may not be too late after all."

Carlos was beside Cassie as he looked back at Andros and asked "how many colonists would have been here?"

Thinking about it, Andros answered "well it was a small village so I say, 40, 50 at most."

Standing back up, Carlos took a count and stated "I count 39. Some of them are missing."

"That must mean they survived the attack" Ashley added implying that there was still a chance to help. "Alright. Good job Carlos. We should see if we can try to find him."

"No problem" Carlos said. With a drop of smile dropping on his shoulder, Carlos rubbed it off and looked up to see the roof covered in large bugs. And then without warning, they jumped down and the rangers regrouped.

The assumed leader stepped forward and announced "ah the Power Rangers! FINALLY! I was wondering when you'd show up!"

"Who are you?!" Andros asked pointing a finger at them.

"My name Blyznark, and for the glory of the queen, you shall meet your end!" He then ordered his army "Destroy them!" Without another option, the rangers had no choice but to fight back as they charged forward.

Once the fight broke out, the drones didn't seem much of a match but their numbers were still overwhelming. "Be careful guys" Andros called out "looks like they seem business!" "No problem, we can turn up the heat." They

all new what he meant as they summoned their weapons.

"Spiral Saber!" Andros.

"Lunar Lance!" Carlos.

"Astro Axe!" TJ.

"Star Slinger!" Ashley.

"Satellite Stunner!" Cassie.

Now having the advantage, the number of drones started to deplete and the leader left the scene with a few of the drones. Andros holding his saber in one hand and his blaster in the other, knocking them down and shooting. Carlos using his lance to

trip and hit each from all around with each swing. TJ using his axe to take them down. Ashley using her slinger's shots to fire. Cassie doing the same with her stunner. Seeing him leaving, Andros announced "he's running."

TJ replied "go after him, he'll likely know where the survivors are." "We can handle these punks then we'll catch up."

Andros gave them a nod before running off. Catching up, Ashley told him "Andros, I got your back." He gave her a quick look and replied "alright." The two then ran, trying their best to keep up with the bugs as they had taken flight.
