..kept him from battle because of a misunderstanding with Ashley.

Zhane sits up on the med bay table and turns to Alpha.

Then Zhane, the Sliver Ranger...

Zhane - now morphed - looks at himself as his powers fail him.

Find out on Power Rangers in Space next.


Onboard the Dark Fortress, Astronema was pacing around as Elgar looked at her, while two Quantrons stood by the controls.

"Why you pacing around for, Astronema?" he inquired.

"I'm waiting for Ecliptor to get back with the monster he told me about!" she frowned, turning to him.

"Oh...right." Elgar muttered.

The door then opened up, getting both their attentions, as Ecliptor came in.

"Well, where's this monster you told me about?" Astronema inquired.

"He's right behind me, my queen." Ecliptor assured.

He stepped aside, then a grey wolf monster walked towards them.

"Wolfsbane, at your service." he said, bowing.

"This is the monster told Astronema about?" Elgar questioned. "Doesn't look that good to me."

Wolfsbane growled angrily at him.

"Whoa!" Elgar yelped, jumping back slightly.

"Can he really capture the Rangers?" Astronema inquired.

"Yes, my queen." Ecliptor assured. "And his claws are pretty sharp when it comes to cutting things."

Wolfsbane held his hands up, as claws came out of his fingers.

"Excellent. That Sliver Ranger won't know what hit him." Astronema grinned, cracking her knuckles.

Onboard the Astro Megaship, Mel came out of her sleeping quarters and yawned.

"Morning, DECA." she said, putting her jacket on.

"Good morning, Mel." DECA replied.

Mel walked down a hallway, where until she entered the jump bay, where the others - expect Zhane - were all sitting around the table.

"Morning, Mel." Carlos said, before drinking some juice.

"You look tired." Ashley said, as Mel blinked her eyes.

"Didn't get much sleep." Mel admitted, walking towards the Synthetron.

She pressed buttons on it, and then took out some toast from it.

"Bad dream?" TJ inquired, as Mel sat down opposite him.

"Something like that." Mel replied.

Zhane then came in as she took a bite out of her toast.

"How's things going?" he asked, walking towards the Synthetron.

"Going alright." Andros replied, before drinking some juice. "Right, after we've eaten, we'll start scanning the next sector."

Zhane took a cup of juice out of the Synthetron.

"Sounds like a plan." TJ said.


Meanwhile on Earth, Darkonda was hiding in the forest, sniggering.

"This time, I'll get those Rangers once and for all." he sniggered, before planting a mine on the ground.

He then covered it with dirt and some twigs, before he ran and hid behind a bush.

"All I have to do now, is wait." he sniggered.

He then looked through the bush, just as Ecliptor, Wolfsbane and a bunch of Quantrons showed up.

"Wha?!" he exclaimed.

"You sure the Rangers will come here once they get your signal?" Ecliptor asked.

"I'm positive." Wolfsbane assured, before he ran off to hide.

Darkonda got up from the bush and ran towards Ecliptor slightly.

"Now, look here, you..." he began.

Ecliptor turned to him slightly, before he realized he'd stepped onto his mine.

"Uh-oh." he muttered.

He then blew up as Ecliptor fully turned around to him.

"Darkonda?!" he hissed. "I wonder what you were planning here?"


Back on the Astro Megaship, Andros and Zhane were now working on the center controls on the bridge, when the lift opened up, and Mel came in.

"How's it going?" she asked, walking towards them.

"Not good." Andros replied. "We're about to start a new search."

An alarm then went off, just as Cassie and Carlos entered the bridge.

"DECA, what's going on?" Andros asked, as he and Zhane got up.

"There is a disturbance in the forest." DECA reported.

"We better get down there and investigate." Cassie suggested.

"I agree. Let's go." Andros said.

The five of them ran towards the left door, just as TJ and Ashley showed up at it.

"What's going on?" TJ inquired.

"Trouble in the forest." Mel explained, as they ran past him and Ashley.

They both then turned and followed the others.

All seven Rangers morphed up and shot down towards Earth on their gilders.


Once they arrived in the forest, they began looking around.

"I don't see anything unusual." Cassie noted, looking behind a tree.

"Well, there's something here." Andros said. "DECA wouldn't have reported a false alarm."

"Right you are, Red Ranger!" a voice hissed.

The Rangers turned around, as Ecliptor, Wolfsbane and a bunch of Quantrons showed up behind a bunch of trees and bushes, surrounding them.

"It's a trap!" Carlos exclaimed.

"You Rangers are really stupid!" Wolfsbane laughed.

"This time, you won't get away, especially you, Sliver Ranger!" Ecliptor sneered, pointing his sword at Zhane.

"We'll show you whose stupid, Ecliptor!" Andros retorted, clutching his fist. "Let's get 'em, guys!"

"Right!" the others shouted, as they all brought out their weapons.

"Attack!" Ecliptor ordered.

The Quantrons and Wolfsbane then charged at the Rangers, who then separated slightly.

TJ jumped over one as it tried to punch him, then he landed between it and another three. He then spun around and hit them all with his Astro Axe, hitting them all in the chest, knocking them down. He then blocked a fifth's blade with his axe, before kicking it in the chest, knocking it back, and then he jumped up and spun around, and then back kicked it, knocking it down.

Mel tried to whack one over the head with her Solar Spear, but missed as it ducked, then she jumped as it tried to hit her in the legs with its blade, before she kicked it in the chest, knocking it down. She then blocked another's blade with the pole of her spear, before stabbing it in the chest with the pointy end, knocking it back slightly, before she tripped it up with the pole end.

Carlos whacked one in the chest with his Lunar Lance as it came at him, knocking it down, and then he spun his lance around as two more came at him, but missed them both by inches. He then put the end of his lance in the ground, then spun around on it while kicking them both, knocking them both down.

Cassie ducked as one tried to punch her, before she kicked it in the chest, knocking it down. She then turned to another and fired her Satellite Stunner at it, slowing it down slightly, allowing her to jump and kick it with both feet, knocking it down.

Ashley ducked as one tried to kick her, before she hit it in the chest with her knee, and then in the back with her elbow, knocking it down. She then fired her Star Slinger at another three, hitting them all and knocking them down onto their backs.

Andros tried to hit Ecliptor with his Spiral Saber, but he blocked it with his sword, and then he kicked Andros in the chest, knocking him back. They then locked their swords together as Andros tried to hit him again, before they backed away from each other.

Zhane tried to slice Wolfsbane across the chest with his Super Sliverizer in blade mode, but missed as he dodged. Zhane then tried to hit him again, but he grabbed his arm, and then slashed him with his claw.

"Ahhh!" Zhane moaned, as he fell down.

He then rolled along the ground, as the others gathered around him.

"Zhane!" Andros and Cassie cried.

"You alright?" Ashley asked, helping him up.

"Yeah." Zhane grunted.

Ecliptor laughed as he gathered near Wolfsbane.

"Is that the best you've got, Sliver Ranger?!" Wolfsbane sniggered loudly.

"Leave him alone!" Mel yelled, clutching her fist in anger.

"Silence!" Ecliptor shouted, firing lasers out of his eyes.

The lasers then hit all but Mel, knocking them down onto their chests, as she rolled to her left to dodge them. She then charged at Wolfsbane while raising her Solar Spear up.

"Aghhh!" she yelled.

She then tried to hit Wolfsbane with her spear, but he grabbed the end of it with his claws, and then threw it away from her. He then slashed her across the chest with his claws, knocking her down onto her chest.

"Mel!" the others shouted.

Cassie and Ashley both got up and ran towards her.

"Mel, are you alright?" Cassie asked worriedly, as they crouched down around her.

Ashley rolled Mel onto her back and then held her up.

"Mel, talk to us?!" she cried.

The four boys then got in front of the girls, as Mel didn't move a muscle.

"You're gonna pay for that, wolf-breath!" TJ promised angrily.

"It's Wolfsbane to you, Ranger!" Wolfsbane snorted.

He then charged at the boys, who charged at him, then knocked Andros aside to his left, then TJ to his right, and then Carlos to his left. He then grabbed Zhane by the shoulders, who then grabbed his, getting locked in a grapple.

"You won't get away with this?!" Zhane grunted.

"Oh, but we have!" Wolfsbane sneered.

Andros, TJ and Carlos all got up and groaned, before turning to Wolfsbane and Zhane.

"Zhane!" Andros cried, running towards them.

TJ and Carlos then followed, before Zhane and Wolfsbane vanished.

"Nooo!" they all cried.

Ecliptor then laughed loudly, getting all three of them to turn to him.

"Where have you taken him?!" Andros demanded, pointing at him.

Ecliptor kept laughing as Cassie and Ashley came up behind the boys - both with one of Mel's arms wrapped around them.

"You'll find out soon enough, Red Ranger!" he laughed, before he vanished.

"Aghh!" Andros growled, punching his fist.


Later, onboard the Astro Megaship, Mel was lying on the bed in the med bay, while the others stood around her - all de-morphed - as Alpha scanned her on the computer.

"How is she, Alpha?" Cassie asked.

"There's nothing to fear, Rangers." Alpha assured, turning to them. "She was only knocked out cold."

The Rangers sighed in relief.

"Well, that's some good news." Andros sighed.

"We better get to the bridge and see if we can find Zhane." TJ suggested.

"But what about, Mel?" Ashley inquired.

"I'll stay with her, Rangers." Alpha said. "You go and find Zhane."

"Right." Andros agreed, before he walked out of the med bay.

"Thanks, Alpha." Carlos said, before he and the others followed.

Andros then walked onto the bridge and towards the center controls.

"DECA, any luck on finding Zhane?" he asked, sitting down.

"I've scanned nearly half the planet, and no luck." DECA explained.

TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie then all walked in.

"Well, we better keep scanning." TJ said, as Cassie and Ashley walked to either side of Andros.

"Yeah." Andros agreed, as the girls sat down.


Meanwhile, in a cave, Zhane's hands and feet were tied up against a wall, as two Quantrons stood watch on either side of him.

"Where am I?!" he demanded.

Two laughing voices made him turn left, as Ecliptor and Wolfsbane came out of the shadows.

"You'll find out soon enough, Sliver Ranger!" Ecliptor sneered. "When your friends come to rescue you, they will be suffering the same fate as you."

"What are you talking about?!" Zhane demanded.

"You'll find out when your friends get here." Wolfsbane chuckled evilly.

He and Ecliptor then laughed as they walked off, and then Zhane tried to break free of the ropes, but couldn't.


Onboard the Dark Fortress, Astronema was looking at Zhane on the viewing screen, when Elgar came up behind her.

"I don't get it. Why don't you just destroy the Sliver Ranger and be done with him?" Elgar wondered.

"Because I need him, as bait to lure out the others." Astronema snapped. "Then, once I have all seven Rangers, I can destroy them all at once."

"Oh, I see." Elgar said, scratching his head. "Good plan."


Back on the Megaship, the Rangers - apart from Mel - were all working at the controls, trying to find Zhane, when a beep came the controls Cassie was at.

"I've got something." she said.

The others turned to her, as she pressed a button on it, but then Ecliptor showed up on the viewing screen inside the cave.

"Rangers." he smirked.

"Where's Zhane, Ecliptor?!" Andros demanded.

"Your Sliver friend is fine, Red Ranger." Ecliptor assured. "In fact, he's right here."

He moved away, showing Zhane tied up against the wall, with Wolfsbane beside him.

Andros gritted his teeth as Ashley and Cassie both gasped.

"What do you want, Ecliptor?" TJ inquired.

"If you want to save your friend, come and get him at these coordinates." Ecliptor sniggered.

The viewing screen showed a map of an island in the middle of the ocean, before it went blank.

"We better get over there and rescue Zhane." Andros said.

"But what about, Mel?" Carlos asked. "She still hasn't recovered."

"DECA, how's Mel?" Andros asked.

"She's still unconscious in the med bay." DECA replied.

"Right. When she recovers, tell her where we've gone." Andros instructed. "We'll have to go without her."

"Understood, Andros." DECA said.

"I guess she'll have to catch up." Ashley deduced.

"Yeah. Come on!" Andros said.

They all then ran off, and then later, all shot down towards Earth on their Galaxy Gilders.


Once on Earth, they began flying their gilders over the ocean towards the island.

"Alright, guys, be ready for when we get there." Andros ordered.

"Right!" the others said.

They raced just above the waterline, when a loud noise got their attention.

"You guys here that?" Andros asked.

"Yeah." Carlos replied. "And I don't like the sound of it."

Cassie turned around, and saw a tidal wave coming up behind them.

"Uh-oh." she muttered. "Gangway, surf's up, and I'm talking up!"

"Huh?" TJ and Ashley muttered.

They, Carlos and Andros all turned around as Cassie raced ahead.

"A tidal wave!" TJ exclaimed.

"That's just what we need?!" Carlos bellowed, as they turned around.

"Can we race higher, Andros?" Ashley asked, as they raced after Cassie.

"Can't risk it!" Andros argued. "There might be scanners on that island! We'll just have to try and stay ahead of it!"

"Oh, just great!" Carlos complained.


Back on the Megaship, Alpha looked at Mel worriedly, before turning to the computer, which showed her vital signs.

"Oh, Mel, I hope you're alright." Alpha hoped worriedly.

Mel's left hand began to move, and then she opened her eyes.

"What...what happened?" she asked, sitting up.

"Mel, you're alright?!" Alpha exclaimed happily.

"Alpha, what's going on?" Mel asked, turning to him. "How'd I get here? The last thing I remember was fighting that wolf."

"You took a bad hit and were knocked out cold." Alpha explained. "The others have gone after Zhane."

"Zhane's been captured?!" Mel exclaimed.

"Yeah, I'm afraid so." Alpha replied.

Mel then got off the bed.

"Well, I better go after them." she said, as she ran to the door.

"But, Mel, might it be wise until the others tell you where they are?" Alpha asked, turning to her.

Mel stopped and sighed as she turned to him.

"You're right." she sighed. "I'd better just wait on the bridge then."


Meanwhile, the others kept racing away from the tidal wave, which was getting closer to them.

"DECA, how far off are we?" Andros asked into his morpher.

"You are almost there, Rangers." DECA assured.

"How's Mel doing?" Ashley asked.

"She's recovered, Rangers." DECA replied. "She's waiting for your signal to move in."

"We'll give it to her when we get to the island." Andros promised.

They kept racing on, as the tidal wave got closer to them.

On the island, Wolfsbane was standing on the beach, and looked out at the ocean, before he sniffed through the air.

"Ecliptor, they're coming." he explained.

(The cave)

Ecliptor turned away Zhane.

"Excellent." he smirked. "Get ready to spring the trap."

He then vanished as Zhane gasped.

"I've gotta warn the others!" he gritted, trying to get free.

(The beach)

Wolfsbane hid himself behind a rock as he watched the Rangers racing away from the tidal wave.

"I can see the island!" Carlos shouted, pointing at it.

"Let's hope we get there before the tidal wave gets us!" Cassie hoped.

The tidal wave then suddenly overtook them all, causing them all to fall off their Galaxy Gilders.

"Aghhh!" they yelled.

The tidal wave then washed them all onto the beach - TJ, Ashley and Carlos lying on their backs, Andros and Cassie on their chests.

"Agh!" Andros groaned, as he lifted his head up. "You guys alright?"

"I've been better!" Ashley groaned, sitting up.

"I hope I never have to do that again!" TJ groaned, sitting up with Carlos.

Cassie groaned as she got to her knees.

"Let's find contact Mel and then we can find Zhane." she said.

"Right." Andros agreed, before putting his morpher to his mouthpiece. "Mel, come in?!"

He got no answer.

"Mel?! DECA?! Alpha?!"

He still got no answer.

"There's no answer." he said confused.

"There must be a jamming device nearby." TJ deduced.

"Then we're on our own until we find and destroy it." Carlos realized.

"Let's find it then!" Andros decided.

"Agreed." the others said, before they all ran off.


Onboard the Megaship, Mel stood behind the center controls, as Alpha tried to make contact with the others by the handle controls.

"I just don't understand it!" he exclaimed, getting Mel to turn to him. "I can't seem to make contact with them!"

"Well, keep trying, Alpha!" Mel urged. "They can't have just...vanished."

Alpha pressed more buttons on the panel, as Mel turned back to the viewing screen.


Back on the island, the others kept running along the sand, when Ashley suddenly stopped.

"Huh?" she muttered, before seeing a cave entrance. "Hey, guys!"

The others all turned and ran towards her.

"What is it, Ash?" Carlos inquired.

"Look up there." Ashley said, pointing at the cave. "I think Zhane might be in there."

"What makes you say that?" TJ inquired, folding his arms.

"You know a better place to hide someone on an island?" Ashley retorted.

"Touché." TJ understood.

"Let's check it out." Andros said.

They all ran towards the cave, and then ran inside it.

"Right, keep your eyes open." Andros instructed. "We don't know how big this cave is."

"Right." the others agreed.

They walked down the cave, but then Carlos stopped as he heard a grunting sound.

"Guys, wait!" he said, getting the others to stop. "I think I heard something."

They all listened in, and heard the grunting sound.

"You're right." Cassie agreed, before pointing to her left. "And it's coming from this way by the sounds of it."

They all ran down the direction she pointed in, before entering the room Zhane was in.

"Zhane!" Andros gasped.

"Guys, it's a trap!" Zhane cried.

"Huh?" the others muttered.

They all looked up, just as a net fell over then all, followed by some knock out gas.

"Gas!" Carlos coughed.

They all then passed out.

"Guys!" Zhane cried.

Ecliptor and Wolfsbane then walked into the room, followed by a bunch of Quantrons.

"Right. Now that we've captured all the-" Wolfsbane began, before he realized Mel was missing. "Wait, where's the Orange Ranger?!"

"She must still be onboard the Megaship." Ecliptor realized.

"Then I guess we're not done yet." Wolfsbane deduced.


Back on the Megaship, Mel was now pacing around on the bridge, getting worried.

"I don't like this. The others should have contacted us by now." she said.

"I know." Alpha agreed. "This is very weird."

An alarm then went off.

"We are picking up a signal from the island." DECA reported.

"Play it on the viewing screen!" Mel ordered, turning to it.

Ecliptor then showed up on the viewing screen.

"Orange Ranger, if you've recovered from your injury, and want to save your friends, I advise you to surrender to us!" he ordered.

"What have you done with them?!" Mel demanded, clutching her fists.

"Nothing, yet." Ecliptor assured, before stepping aside, showing the others tied to the wall.

"Guys!" Mel cried.

"I wouldn't try any of your acting tricks like before, Orange Ranger." Ecliptor advised. "We won't fall for that again."

He then laughed before the screen went black.

"What am I gonna do?" Mel asked herself quietly.


Later, onboard the Dark Fortress, Astronema was looking at Ecliptor on the viewing screen.

"Have you captured all the Rangers?" she asked.

"All but the Orange one, my queen." Ecliptor answered.

"What?!" Astronema exclaimed, before turning to Elgar. "Find out where she is now?!"

"As you wish." Elgar obeyed, before he worked on a control panel.

(The cave)

Ecliptor looked up at a holographic image of Astronema.

"Keep the others tied up until we've captured the Orange Ranger!" she ordered.

"As you command." Ecliptor said, bowing.

The holographic image then vanished, before he turned to Wolfsbane and the Rangers.

"Astronema is going to be most pleased with this, when we capture the Orange Ranger that is." he said, as he and Wolfsbane paced in front of the Rangers.

"You'll never get away with this?!" Andros barked, trying to break free from the ropes.

"Oh, but we already have." Ecliptor retorted.

(Dark Fortress)

Astronema turned to Elgar, who was still pressing buttons on the controls.

"Have you found the Orange Ranger?" she asked.

"Yes, I have." Elgar replied. "She's now in the park all alone."

"Good. Send down a group of Quantrons to capture her!" Astronema ordered.

"As you wish." Elgar obeyed.


At the park, Mel was walking past a tree, trying to think of a way to save the others.

"How am I suppose to save the others by myself, when they won't fall for my acting skills like before?" she questioned.

A bunch of Quantrons then showed up all around her.

"Oh, man!" she groaned. "I haven't got time for this?!"

She ducked as one tried to kick her, then dodged past another, before a third kicked her in the belly, knocking her to her knees. She then got up and kicked the third in the chest, knocking it down, then she spun around and tackled a fourth. A fifth then kicked her in the chest as she turned to it, knocking down onto her back, then she looked up and clutched her chest.

A woman then jumped up out of nowhere and split kicked two of them away, knocking them down, before she landed on the ground.

"Huh?" Mel muttered, clutching her chest as she got up.

The woman turned to Mel, revealing herself to be Vera LeClerc, her predecessor.

"You alright?" she asked.

"Yeah." Mel replied, surprised.

Vera then blocked a Quantron's punch, before pulling it over her shoulder, then she turned and kicked another in the chest.

Mel then ducked as one tried to kick her, before she blocked a punch from it by grabbing its arm, and then she punched it in the chest.

Vera then punched one in the chest, making it clutch its chest as it fell to its knees, and then she rolled over its back and kicked another away, knocking it down.

Mel then dodged as one tried to kick her, before she kicked it in the back, knocking it onto another two, knocking them all down.

The two of them then stared at the rest of them, before they all vanished.

"You okay?" Vera asked, turning to Mel.

"Yeah." Mel replied. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it." Vera said, folding her arms.

"How'd you find me anyway?" Mel inquired.

"I was just walking by when I saw you surrounded." Vera explained.

"Well, thanks anyway." Mel said. "But right now I've gotta go rescue the others."

She started to run off, before Vera grabbed her arm.

"The others are captured?" she inquired.

"Yeah." Mel replied. "I know where they are, but they won't fall for my tricks again."

Vera looked at her.

"I take it you've fooled them before?" she deduced.

"Yeah." Mel said sadly.

"What if you had some help?" Vera asked.

Mel turned to her.

"But you haven't got your morpher anymore!" Mel argued.

Vera sighed, then took out her old Zeonizer - one from each pocket of her jeans.

"I kept this in case I ever had to get called back into action." she explained. "I think this is one of those times."

"You'll really help me?" Mel asked.

Vera nodded.

"I did chose you to replace me after all." she said. "We've gotta stick together."

"Thanks." Mel smiled, before they shook hands. "And with you helping, I think I know how to save the others."

"Let's go then." Vera said.

They both then ran off.


Onboard the Dark Fortress, Astronema was furious when the Quantrons returned.

"How could one Ranger defeat all of you?!" she exclaimed, pushing one away angrily.

Two Quantrons just shrugged, as Elgar looked at them all.

"Maybe she had some help?" Elgar suggested.

"What kind of help?" Astronema inquired. "We've already captured the other Rangers?!"

"Well...it might've been like that Blue one who helped them defeat Lionizer." Elgar suggested.

"That's impossible!" Astronema frowned, turning around, folding her arms.


Back in the cave, Ecliptor and Wolfsbane looked at the tied Rangers, as they tried to break free.

"It's useless to try and break free." Wolfsbane sneered. "Those ropes can only be cut loose."

He and Ecliptor then both turned around and walked down the tunnel.

"I hope Mel's got a good idea to get us outta here." TJ grunted.

"I don't think Ecliptor will be fooled a second time!" Andros grunted.

"Huh?" Zhane asked confused. "What you talking about?"

"We'll tell you later, if we get outta here." Cassie promised.


Later, at the beach, Vera and Mel ran towards the shore, and then looked out at the ocean.

"You sure you know which island they're being held on?" Vera asked.

"I'm sure." Mel replied. "Alpha gave me the coordinates before I left the ship."

"From what you've told me, I think you're having a bigger adventure than I did." Vera told her. "I mean, I hardly left the planet during my tenure."

"You did?" Mel asked.

"Yeah." Vera replied, folding her arms.

"Right. So, let's go rescue the others." Mel said.

Vera nodded.

"It's morphin time!" she shouted.

She then twisted her arms and brought out her Zeonizer. She then lifted her arms, and then twisted her left arm upwards, and then crossed her right arms over her left.

(Morph Sequence)

"Zeo Ranger V Purple!" she shouted.

She then lowered her arms, and was then covered in her suit.

(End Morph Sequence)

She lowered her arms, and then turned to Mel.

"Let's Rocket!" Mel shouted.

(Morph sequence)

She opened her morpher up, and began pressing buttons on it.

"3,3,5!"

She then hit enter, and the lights beside the numbers lit up.

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)

She then turned to Vera.

"Nice suit." Vera remarked. "Do you mind telling me how we're getting across the ocean?"

"I've got that sorted." Mel assured.

She turned to her right.

"Galaxy Gilder, hang ten!" she shouted, holding her right hand up, then moved it around in a circle, before clutching her fist and pulling it back.

A little later, they both rode it over the ocean.

"So what do you think, Vera?" Mel asked.

"It's...not what I excepted." Vera admitted, holding onto Mel as she steered. "If you ride these through space, it must make you think you're the Sliver Surfer or something?"

"I've never really thought about that." Mel admitted. "But I guess you could say we do."

They kept riding along above the water.

"Hey, how's collage doing for you?" Mel inquired. "Still training to be that CSI you told me about?"

"Sure am." Vera replied. "Although I know that's years away."


Later, in the cave, Ecliptor and Wolfsbane both walked back into the room with the Rangers.

"Your friend is running out of time to surrender herself." Ecliptor smirked. "Wolfsbane, I'm leaving you to handle her when she arrives."

"You can count on me." Wolfsbane assured.

Ecliptor then vanished.

"When your friend gets here, I'll have the pleasure of destroying all seven you." Wolfsbane howled.

Outside the cave, Mel and Vera now stood on either end.

"You remember the plan?" Mel asked.

"Yup." Vera replied. "Let's get your friends outta there."

They both ran into the cave, when Darkonda suddenly showed up on the sand.

"That stupid Ecliptor!" he hissed. "Thanks to him, I've now only got seven lives left!"

He then turned around, before he spotted Vera running into the cave.

"Huh? A Purple Ranger?" he questioned, scratching his head. "I've never heard of that before? I think I better check this out."

He began running towards the cave.

Inside the cave, Wolfsbane paced in front of the captured Rangers, when they all heard a noise.

"Looks like your friend has arrived." Wolfsbane smirked.

He turned to the tunnel, when Mel came out of the shadows and glared at him.

"I see you've come to surrender." he smirked. "Now you'll join your friends tied against the wall."

"That's what you think!" Mel shouted.

"Huh?" Wolfsbane muttered, as Mel moved to her left.

Vera then jumped and kicked him right in the chest, knocking him down, but left the other Rangers confused.

"Who are you?" Cassie inquired, as Vera and Mel ran towards them.

"You guys okay?" Vera asked, as she brought out her Zeo Power Daggers, while Mel brought out her Solar Spear.

Ashley and Carlos gasped, as they recognized the voice.

"Vera, that you?" Ashley asked, as Vera cut her loose.

"Yep." Vera replied, cutting Carlos loose.

"Vera?!" TJ and Cassie gasped, as Mel cut Cassie free.

Vera then cut Andros loose while Mel cut TJ loose.

"You guys know her?" Andros inquired, as Mel cut Zhane loose.

"She's a friend a mine." Mel explained.

"Gotta admit, nice suit." Carlos remarked.

"I had this suit long before you guys became Rangers." Vera explained.

They all then turned to Wolfsbane as he groaned and got up.

"What?! A Purple Ranger?!" he exclaimed.

"That's right!" Vera announced, pointing at him. "And you're gonna pay for what you did!"

"Allow me to handle this." Zhane said, stepping in front of her.

He then charged at Wolfsbane and then corkscrew kicked him in the chest, knocking him down into the tunnel.

"Agh!" he moaned, getting up. "I'll have a better chance outside."

He got up and ran down the tunnel.

"We better go after him." Andros decided.

"Right!" the others agreed.

They all chased after him down the tunnel.

Outside the cave, Darkonda stood by the entrance, when Wolfsbane ran past him and pushed him away into a bush.

"Whoa!" he yelped, landing on his back.

He shook his head as he sat up, when all eight Rangers ran out of the cave and chased Wolfsbane onto the beach.

"So I wasn't imaging things." he said, hiding behind a rock.

Wolfsbane then stopped and turned to the Rangers, who then all stopped.

"You Rangers are all going down!" Wolfsbane assured.

A bunch of Quantrons then appeared behind him.

"These guys again?" Vera complained.

"Yeah, and word to the wise, they tougher than Piranhatrons." Cassie warned.

"Thanks for the warning." Vera said.

"Get them!" Wolfsbane ordered.

The Quantrons then charged at the Rangers, who brought their weapons out and then did the same.

TJ spun around as one tried to hit him with its blade, causing it to miss before he kicked it in the back, knocking it down. He then blocked another's blade with his Astro Axe, before knocking the blade out of its hand, and then slashed it across the chest with his axe.

Cassie and Ashley both stood back to back as six surrounded them both. Ashley ducked and fired her Star Slinger at three of them, hitting them and knocking them down, while Cassie fired her Satellite Stunner at the other three, stunning them, and making them trip over.

Carlos tried to whack one over the head with his Lunar Lance, but missed as it ducked, and then he dodged a swipe with its blade. He then ducked as it tried to hit him again, then he spun around and whacked it in the leg with his lance, tripping it up.

Mel stabbed one in the chest with the pointed end of her Solar Spear, knocking it back, before she spun around and kicked it, knocking it down. She then turned as another came at her, then ducked as it tried to punch her, before she tripped it up with the pole end of her spear, knocking it down.

Zhane blocked ones blade with his Super Sliverizer in blade mode, before he punched it in the chest, making it fall to its knees, and then he kicked it in the face, knocking it down. He then turned and slashed another across the chest with it as it came at him, and then he spun around and kicked a third in the chest, knocking it down.

Vera rolled forward as one tried to whack her with its blade, then she kicked it in the back, knocking it forward slightly. It then turned to her and charged at her, but then she kicked it in the chest, knocking it down onto another.

Andros sent a slash at Wolfsbane with his Spiral Saber, but missed as he dodged, and then he clawed Andros on the chest.

"Aghh!" he moaned, falling down.

Vera blocked a Quantron's blade with her daggers, before seeing Andros fall.

"Ah!" she gasped, before kicking it in the chest, knocking it down.

She then charged at Wolfsbane, who then put his foot on Andros, pinning him to the ground.

"I've got you this time, Red Ranger." he sneered, readying his claws.

"I don't think so!" Vera shouted.

Wolfsbane and Andros turned to Vera, who then jumped up and kicked him in the chest, knocking him off Andros.

"Ahh!" he moaned, as he hit the ground.

Andros got up and touched Vera's shoulder.

"Thanks." he said.

"Don't mention it." Vera assured, as the others gathered around them.

"I'll take it from here." Andros said, bringing his Battlizer out.

He then charged at Wolfsbane as he got back up, then jumped up, and then hit 1 on his Battlizer. He then punched Wolfsbane in the face, sending him flying away to the ground.


Onboard the Dark Fortress, Astronema, Ecliptor and Elgar had all watched as Wolfsbane hit the ground on the viewing screen.

"A Purple Ranger?!" Astronema exclaimed, eyeing Vera as it showed the Rangers. "Fire the Satellasers!"

"As you command, my princess." Ecliptor obeyed, pressing buttons on a panel.

The Satellasers fired from the Dark Fortress towards Earth.


The Satellasers then hit Wolfsbane as he got back up, making him grow giant, as all eight Rangers watched.

"How'd you like this wolf now, Rangers?" he sneered.

Darkonda then came out from behind the rock and stared at them.

"You Rangers still gotta deal with me!" he bellowed.

"Darkonda?!" all but Vera exclaimed.

"Zhane, you think you and Vera can handle him?" Andros asked.

"You betcha I can." Zhane assured, holding his Super Sliverizer up. "You with me?"

"I got you back." Vera assured, twirling her Zeo Power Daggers.

They both then charged at Darkonda, who then charged at them.

"We need Astro Megazord power now!" Mel shouted into her morpher.

"Delta Megazord online!" Andros shouted into his Battlizer.

Both the Astro Megaship - which the Rangers were now in - and the Delta Megaship flew through space. The Delta Megaship split into three pieces, the head, the legs and the body - the arms moving down, and then the cannons on either side. The front of the Astro Megaship then split in half, and went down either side of it, as the shuttle spun around and flew back towards it.

Go Power Rangers

The shuttle then attached itself to the top, forming the head.

Go Power Rangers

Both halves of the Megaship then went down either side, forming the arms and legs.

Go Power Rangers
Go, go, go, fly!

Go Power Rangers
Go Power Rangers

The Delta Megazord's chest and arms then attached themselves to the Astro Megazord.

Go Power Rangers
Ah...

The Delta Megazord's head then went over the Astro Megazord's, as the shuttle lifted up slightly, then its cannons rolled onto the Astro Megazord's shoulders, forming the Astro Delta Megazord. It's Gyro Cannons spun around as it stood at ease above the Earth.

Wolfsbane growled and howled as the Astro Delta Megazord landed in front of him.

He then charged at it, then slashed it across the chest with his claws, before running past it. They then both turned to each other, before it punched him in the nose, knocking him back.

"My nose!" he cried, touching it while jumping back.

On the ground, Vera kicked Darkonda in the back, knocking him forward, and then Zhane slashed him across the chest with his Super Sliverizer. Vera then jumped onto Zhane's shoulder, then jumped up dived down towards Darkonda, crossing her daggers over like an X as she came down and hit him in the face.

"Ahhh!" he moaned, moving back.

Zhane then rolled to his left - with his Super Sliverizer in blaster mode - and then fired it at him, hitting him in the chest.

Wolfsbane lowered his hands and stared at the Astro Delta Megazord.

"Gyro Blasters, online!" Andros shouted, holding his fists up.

The Astro Delta Megazord fired its Gyro Blasters at Wolfsbane, hitting him in the chest.

"Aghhh!" he howled angrily, before charging at it.

Darkonda tried to slash Zhane with his sword, but missed as he dodged and then punched him in the chest, knocking him back as he clutched it.

"Huh?" Darkonda muttered.

Vera then jumped up and corkscrew kicked him in the chest, knocking him down onto his back.

Wolfsbane got back up and glared at the Astro Delta Megazord.

"Flying Power Punch, now!" Andros shouted, holding his fists up, then crossed them over, and then punched them forward.

He then opened his Battlizer up, and then he pressed 1 button.

The Astro Delta Megazord held its fists up, then turned them sideways, before they detached. The fists then shot out, then zoomed upwards, then crossed over each other as they dived down. They then hit Wolfsbane in the chest, before they then attached themselves back onto the Astro Delta Megazord.

"Ahh!" Wolfsbane moaned, before he fell down and was destroyed.

The Astro Delta Megazord stood at ease.

"Yes!" Ashley and Cassie cheered.

"Alright!" TJ whooped.

"Wahoo!" Mel cheered.

"I hope Zhane and Vera are doing alright." Andros hoped.

On the ground, Vera blocked Darkonda's sword with both her daggers, before kicking him away. Zhane then jumped up and slashed him across the chest with his Super Sliverizer in blade mode, causing sparks to come out of his chest.

"Aghh! You haven't seen the last of me, Rangers!" Darkonda promised.

He then blew up, as Zhane and Vera turned around.

A little later, all eight Rangers regrouped on the beach - all unmorphed - and then Mel and Vera hugged each other.

"Thanks for the help, Vera." Mel said, as they broke apart.

"Hey, you'd do it for me." Vera said, before they high-fived each other.

Andros and Zhane both looked at her, while the others smiled.

"We really appreciate the help." Cassie said, patting Vera's shoulder.

"Hey, once a Ranger..." Vera began.

"Always a Ranger." TJ finished.

"How do you guys know her this well?" Zhane inquired.

"Vera's my predecessor." Mel explained.

"Does that mean you served with Justin for a while?" Andros asked.

"Yep." Vera replied, folding her arms.

"Oh, Andros and Zhane come from a space colony." Ashley explained quickly.

"Right." Vera said, shaking Andros' hand.

"You don't seem surprised." Zhane noticed, shaking her hand.

"Well, you're not the first alien Rangers I've encountered." Vera explained.

"We're not?" Andros inquired, shocked.

"No. I've met the Aquitian Rangers and Trey and Triforia." Vera explained.

"Really?" Andros inquired. "Zordon must've been despite to call them in."

"He sure was." Vera smiled, remembering those encounters.

"Well, look, thanks again." TJ said. "But we've gotta go now."

"Yeah, we still have to find Zordon." Carlos explained.

"I know. Mel told me about that." Vera assured. "You guys better get going."

"Hey, how 'bout we give you a lift back to the city first." Zhane suggested. "I mean, how are you gonna get back."

"Zhane's got a point." Ashley agreed.

Vera smiled. "Thanks, guys." she said.

They all then ran along the beach.


Next time on Power Rangers in Space...

Zhane looks at a note by Astronema, which included a kiss.

Astronema frowns while sitting at a blanket in the forest.

"Stand me up, will you!" she hisses.

She then aims her staff at Zhane, now with her battle gear on, and him morphed - but without his helmet.

"Don't think I owe you anything!" she hisses. "We're enemies now and forever!"

A explosion goes off behind the Rangers as they walk down a street - all unmorphed.

"Ahh!" they moan, as people nearby run off.

Zhane hides behind a tree.

Astronema aims her staff at Zhane's head in the forest, as he makes some coffee.

"I could destroy you right now." she said, as Zhane turns to her.

She fires lighting out of her staff at him in the city, as he dodges and rolls away. He then gets up and jumps as she keeps firing, until she hits her monster.

"What are you doing?" she demands, moving back while lying on the ground.

Zhane pats her cheek in the forest, waking her up.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asks.

He looks around to see if they're alone.


A/N: The reason I chose to bring Vera back instead of Sophie, was because when Adam returns, he comes back as the Black Mighty Morphin Ranger, so I figured it was only fair to put a Zeo Ranger in.
