In a forest, Andros and Darkonda locked their swords together, then locked them again, then Darkonda grabbed Andros' arm as he tried to stab him. Andros then kicked his other hand, then he ducked under a slice from Darkonda's sword, before they locked their weapons again, and then they spun around slightly while keeping them locked.
"You kidnapped my sister!" Andros growled.
"One of my finest accomplishments." Darkonda sneered.
He sniggered as he knocked Andros' sword away, then knocked it away again as he tried to hit him. He then tried to trip Andros over with his sword, but missed as he jumped up and then back flipped through the air. Darkonda then jumped forward, then Andros did the same, then they both locked their swords together again, before Andros twirled around before they landed on the ground.
They then both turned to each other again, then Darkonda dashed towards Andros, and hit him in the chest with his sword, knocking him back as he clutched his chest.
Ecliptor came out from behind a tree and sniggered as he stared at the two of them.
Andros and Darkonda then locked their swords again, then again, then Darkonda spun around, causing them to switch places. They then locked swords again, then Andros ducked as Darkonda tried to slice him, before they locked swords again.
"How prefect." Ecliptor said.
Andros and Darkonda locked swords again, then again, then Andros tried to elbow Darkonda in the face, but he blocked it with his hand. Andros then moved as Darkonda fired a blast out of his hand, causing him to hit a tree, then Andros let go of him, before they locked swords again. Darkonda then kicked Andros in the side, then grabbed his Spiral Saber while slicing him in the back with his sword.
"Ah!" Andros gasped, clutching his shoulder as he turned to him.
Darkonda then roundhouse kicked Andros in the chest, causing him to twirl around in the air, but he landed on his hands, and then handspring backwards onto his feet.
"The only regret that I have, is that when I kidnapped your sister, I didn't destroy you!" Darkonda sneered.
"Huh?" Andros gasped.
Darkonda threw the Spiral Saber at Andros like a spear, but it spun around sideways through the air, before Andros kicked it away.
"Huh?" Darkonda muttered, looking up.
"Darkonda!" Andros shouted.
He brought out his Astro Blaster, then spun around while splitting it into duel mode.
"Let me give you something that you're really going to regret!" he shouted, as he turned back to him.
He then crouched down, and fired both blasters at Darkonda, hitting him in the chest.
"Aghh!" he moaned, as he fell down onto his back.
"Yeah." Andros grinned, putting his blasters back together as he got up.
He then jumped up and grabbed his Spiral Saber, then landed near Darkonda, and then knocked his sword out of his hands. The end then dug into the ground as it landed, then Andros put his saber to Darkonda's head.
"Now I want you to tell me where my sister is?!" Andros demanded, as Ecliptor watched. "Or I'll-"
"Destroy me? Then you'll never find her!" Darkonda retorted.
Andros growled and put the end of his saber right near Darkonda's forehead.
Ecliptor then stepped on a twig nearby, making a noise. He then hid back behind the tree, as Darkonda and Andros turned to it.
"Huh?" Darkonda muttered.
"Who's there?!" Andros shouted.
He looked around, but saw no one. When he turned back to Darkonda, he saw he'd vanished.
"Where'd he go?!" he bellowed, looking around. "Darkonda?!"
Darkonda laughed evilly, which echoed through the forest.

Andros began looking around as Darkonda's laughs kept echoing.
"I'll find you again, Darkonda!" Andros swore. "If it takes me forever, I'm going to find you!"
Andros then held his right hand up and teleported away.
Darkonda - who was hiding up in a tree - kept laughing.
"Find me, will you?" he questioned, before jumping down to the ground. "We'll see about that? Oh, that Red Ranger. I'll have no peace..."
He picked up his sword.
"..until I destroy him once and for all!" he growled.
He waved his sword around, then put it into its holder.
"So, he wants to find me, does he?" he asked himself, putting his hand to his chin. "Of course."
He sniggered as he walked off.
A little later, he planted a laser beam on a tree, along with one on other trees.
"I'm so brilliant sometimes, I even surprise myself." he said, planting a fourth.
He then began planting a mine in a spot between all four laser beams.
"Oh, you'll find me again, and it won't take forever. I promise you that." he promised.
He laughed as he covered the mine up with twigs.
"Red Ranger, your passion will be your undoing." he sniggered. "Let's see now...all I need is something to test it with."
He got up and turned around, then walked away from the mine as he looked around, before he picked up a twig. He then threw it onto the mine, causing the lasers to light up and fire on the mine, destroying the twig as he turned away.
"Oh, you'll find me, Red Ranger." he grinned, turning back. "And it'll be the last thing you'll ever find!"
He laughed hilariously, as he turned around and walked away.
"'The last thing you'll ever find'?" Ecliptor said, watching him from behind a tree. "Hmm. Exactly."
He then walked off.
Later, onboard the Megaship, Andros was asleep in his room. He tossed slightly in his bed, as sweat poured from his forehead, and he moaned, as he was having a nightmare.
(Andros' dream)
Darkonda approached young Karone.
"Karone!" young Andros called.
Karone got up and turned to Darkonda, and then she cried loudly, as he picked her up.
(Dream ends)
Andros snapped his eyes open.
"Karone!" he gasped, sitting up.
He closed his eyes for a minute, then wiped the sweat of his forehead as he pushed his hair back. He got out of bed, turned on a lamp, and then picked up the picture of Karone from his beside table. He closed his eyes sadly as he wondered how and where she was, and if she was safe.
Onboard the Dark Fortress, Astornema - now with long blue hair - was sitting in her throne, staring at her locket, which was open, showing a picture on each side. Ecliptor then came into the room and stood by the doorway.
"Astronema, the Batarax is ready to attack Earth upon your command." he reported.
He walked closer to her, seeing something was wrong.
"My princess, what troubles you?" he asked.
"Tell me again, Ecliptor; where did you find me?" Astronema asked.
"You were only a little girl." Ecliptor explained. "You were left on my doorstep. I've taken care of you as my own daughter ever since."
"And my family?" Astronema added.
"Your parents, and your brother, were destroyed by the Power Rangers." Ecliptor said.
Astronema turned to him.
"Ecliptor, you're the only one I've ever trusted." she told him.
"Yes, my princess." he said.
Astornema got up and walked towards the wall, then checked to see if no one was around, before turning back to Ecliptor.
"And something tells me, my brother's alive." she explained quietly.
"Astronema, do not be distracted." Ecliptor advised. "Remember, you are the Princess of Evil."
Astronema walked back towards her throne and sat down on it.
"You're right." she said, turning it slightly. "Attack Earth!"
Later, Batarax began rampaging through the city, creating wreckage and fires, as people ran for it.
"Ahh!" a woman screamed.
People ran off in different directions as Batarax matched through the rubble. Among them was Sara, who was hid behind a some rubble, screaming just as loudly as the others.
Onboard the Megaship, all the Rangers - expect Andros - and Alpha, were all at their positions on the bridge, pressing buttons on the controls.
"The Batarax monster is attacking Angel Grove." DECA reported.
"Alpha, alert Andros." TJ instructed, as Cassie and Ashley got up from their seats. "Let's go!"
The five Rangers all ran towards the right door as it opened up.
"You got it." Alpha said.
All six Rangers then shot down towards Earth on their Galaxy Gilders.
Once in the city, they all ran past people running away as they ran towards Batarax.
"Get to safety!" Andros shouted.
"Get outta here!" Mel cried. "Go!"
"Hurry up!" Andros shouted.
Sara turned to the Rangers and sighed in relief.
The Rangers then stopped near Batarax as he kept scaring people away.
"Come on!" Andros shouted, as some people got behind them.
"Ah, Rangers." Batarax sneered, turning to them.
"That's about enough!" Ashley shouted.
"I'm just beginning!" Batarax retorted.
"Why don't go back to that belfry you flew out of?!" Mel scowled.
"Shut up, Ranger!" Batarax snarled.
TJ, Mel and Ashley all turned to the people, as Andros, Cassie and Carlos charged at Batarax.
"Everybody, stay clam." Ashley said, as the people ran away.
"We've got this guy." Mel assured.
Andros sent a kick at Batarax, but he blocked it, then he tried to whack Cassie, but missed as she sideways handspringed to the left. He then spun around as Carlos spun around and tried to kick him, causing him to miss. He then waved his wings around, as Carlos backwards handspringed away, while Cassie did a sideways one to her left behind him, as Andros tried to punch him, but missed.
Once nearly all the civilians were gone - apart from Sara and few others as they were well hidden - Mel, Ashley and TJ ran to help the others. TJ spun around to kick Batarax, but missed as he ducked, just as Astronema, Ecliptor and a bunch of Quantrons showed up on top of a set of steps. Batarax then hit Carlos in the chest, then hit Mel in the belly, before Andros jumped and grappled him.
The Quantrons ran down the steps towards the Rangers, just as Mel turned to them.
"Guys, look!" she shouted.
The others turned to the Quantrons, just as they charged at them.
Andros ducked as one ran past and tried to hit him, then he whacked it in the chest. He then blocked another's kick with his hands, then grabbed its shoulder and spun around and kicked a third. TJ ducked as one tried to whack him while Mel dodged another's kick, and Carlos tried to kick a third, but missed, as Ashley and Cassie kept fighting Batarax.
Astronema grinned as she watched the battle.
Andros grabbed a Quantron's arm, then flipped it over onto its back. He then blocked another's kick with his forearm, before elbowing it in the chest.
Mel hit one in the chest with her knee, then chopped it in the back, before turning around as she heard a scream, and then saw two Quantrons coming at Sara.
"Sis." she said quietly, worried.
She jumped towards the two of them.
"Yahhh!" she shouted.
Sara and the two Quantrons turned to her, just as she kicked one in the chest, knocking it down. She then blocked a punch from the other with her elbow, before she spun around and tackled it, tripping it up.
"You okay?" Mel asked, turning to Sara.
"Yeah, thanks." Sara breathed.
"Get outta here, run!" Mel shouted. "This place isn't safe!"
"Right!" Sara said, before she turned around and ran away.
Astronema looked at the two sisters, when a girl's scream got her attention, and then saw a mother running away with her two children.
"Hurry, kids, come on!" the mother cried, running off. "Move it!"
Astronema looked down slightly, as the mother took her son's arm, while he took his sister's.
"Andrew!" the girl cried, as she tripped.
"Karen!" he cried, turning to her.
He let go of his mom, and then got behind his sister.
"Come on." he said.
Andros punched a Quantron in the chest, before turning to the family.
"What?!" he gasped.
Andrew, Karen and their looked around worriedly as Quantrons surrounded them.
"I'm coming!" Andros shouted, rolling over the back of the one he'd punched.
He then ran towards the family, then spun around to kick a Quantron, but missed as it ducked. He then blocked another's punch with his forearm, before punching it in the chest, then he turned and ducked as a third ran past and tried to punch him. He then grabbed a fourth's blade, then kicked the third in the chest, as the family got up, then he kicked the fourth away.
He then blocked a fifth's kick with his hands, then blocked a punch from it, then spun around to avoid another punch. He then stood in front of the family while staring at more of them, before turning to the family.
"Are you alright?" he asked, touching the kids arms.
"Uh-huh." the mother said.
A Quantron then charged at them with its blade.
"Huh?" Andros gasped, as they all turned to it.
He then growled as he got in front of the family, but then turned to them.
"I'll protect you!" he vowed.
He then wrapped his arms around the kids, as the Quantron was about to strike, when lighting hit it in the back, as the mother screamed.
Mel grabbed another's arm, but then turned and saw it fall down, as Astronema aimed her staff at him.
"What the...?!" she questioned, disbelieving.
"Huh?" Andros muttered, turning slightly. "What happened?"
He turned around to Astronema.
"You?!" he questioned.
Astronema raised her staff up.
"Astronema?!" Andros exclaimed. "Why?!"
Astronema just stared at him.
"My princess..?!" Ecliptor said, speechless.
Andros turned back to the family, and touched the kids arms while crouching down.
"Get going!" he instructed. "Over there!"
"Thank you." the mother said, as she and her children turned and ran off.
"You'll be safe, go on." Andros said.
He then grabbed a Quantron by the shoulders as it tried to chase after them, and then he threw it to the ground. He then grabbed another by the arm and chopped it on the shoulder.
Astronema turned and walked away.
"Astronema, wait?!" Ecliptor said, turning to her.
He turned back to the Rangers.
Andros ducked as a Quantron tried to kick him, then he grabbed its arm, flipped onto his back and threw it over him. He then waved his feet around as another came at him, then he got up and blocked a third's kick with his hands, then knocked it aside, and then spun around and elbowed a fourth in the chest.
TJ kicked one away from him, then blocked another's punch with his forearm, before punching it in the chest, and then he tried to whack the first over the head, but missed as it ducked.
Carlos spun around to kick one, but missed as it ducked, then he grabbed another's arm as it came up behind him. He then grabbed a third's arm as it tried to punch him from behind, then it kicked him in the belly, but then he knocked their backs against each other, knocking them down.
Mel ducked as one tried to kick her, then she kicked it in the back, knocking it away slightly. It then turned back to her and came at her with another two, but then she spun around and tackled them all, tripping them up.
Ashley and Cassie both had hold of Batarax's arms, but then he knocked them both back by lifting them up. He then punched Cassie away, and then kicked Ashley in the chest, knocking her down.
Andros jumped and kicked one in the chest, knocking it down. He then blocked another's kick with his Spiral Saber, then spun around as a third tried to hit him, and then he blocked a kick from it.
Darkonda then showed up near some rubble and began watching the battle.
Andros kicked one away from him, then slashed another across the chest with his saber, before turning to Darkonda.
"You looking for me? Come on?!" Darkonda dared with his finger.
"You got it!" Andros snapped.
He turned to the others, as Cassie sent a kick at Batarax, but he blocked it with his hands, then ducked as she tried to upper kick him, but then Ashley kicked him in the chest. TJ broke free from a Quantron, before turning and kicking another in the belly, while Mel grabbed a third's arm as it tried to punch her, and then she chopped it on the shoulder, as Carlos sent a whack at a fourth.
Andros breathed slightly, not knowing what to do.
"You coming?" Darkonda inquired, before he turned and ran off.
"Wait!" Andros bellowed, as he chased after him.
Ecliptor ran along the top of the steps, and then watched the pair of them. He then put his hand on his chin, wondering what was going on, as the other Rangers kept fighting.
Darkonda dashed from place to place as he approached a forest, making Andros stop as he was too fast for him.
"That's it! Galaxy Gilder, hang ten!" he shouted into his morpher.
Once it arrived, he jumped onto it, and kept chasing after Darkonda, who laughed as he ran off. He kept dashing through the forest as Andros caught up with him.
Andros then jumped off his gilder as he got to the area Darkonda had set his trap. He walked forward slowly while looking around.
"Alright, Darkonda, I know that you're here somewhere!" he shouted.
He breathed slightly as he - unknowingly - got closer to the trap.
"Show yourself!" he demanded.
Nearby, Darkonda was hiding behind a bush near the mine.
"Step into my parlor said the spider to the fly." Darkonda quoted.
He threw his sword at Andros like a spear.
"Huh?" Andros gasped, turning around.
He knocked the sword down with his saber.
Darkonda then jumped up and fired lighting out of his hand, which nearly hit Andros, who then did a backwards handspring. Another blast of lighting then hit him in the chest, knocking him onto his back. He got to his knees, just as Darkonda landed on the ground, then ran and picked up his sword, before charging at Andros.
They then locked their swords together, then Andros jumped as Darkonda tried to trip him with his, then they turned and locked swords again, then again, then Andros tried to stab Darkonda, but missed as he blocked it. Darkonda then hit Andros in the chest with his knee, then Andros tried to hit him with the butt of his saber, but he blocked it with the end of his sword, and then he kicked Andros in the back of the leg.
Andros then knocked Darkonda's hand away, then got up and spun around, before crouching down as they locked swords again. Darkonda then knocked Andros' saber down, and then kicked him in the chest, knocking him down against a rock. Darkonda then rolled forward and then tried to stab Andros with his sword, but he blocked it with his saber, and then pushed him away with it.
Andros got back up, then spun around and kicked Darkonda's sword as he spun around to slash him with it. They then locked swords again, then again, then Andros turned and kicked his feet up on a rock, back flipping over Darkonda as he tried to slice him, and then Andros sliced him in the back, knocking him forward. Andros then dived to slash him again, but missed and hit a rock as he dashed backwards.
Darkonda then fired a blast out of his hand at Andros, but missed and hit the rock, as Andros rolled to his left. He brought out his Astro Blaster and then fired it at Darkonda, who deflected the blasts with his sword. He then jumped up and dived towards Andros, who then jumped up and dived towards him, and then they slashed each other with their swords, causing Andros to land on his side, and Darkonda on his knees.
Andros dug his saber into the ground as he got to his knees, as he and Darkonda turned to each other.
"What's the matter?" Darkonda sneered. "You lose your spirt?"
"Me loose my spirt?!" Andros growled, as they both walked past a tree while glaring at each other. "Never!"
"Well, then, I have another little proposition for you, Red Ranger." Darkonda smirked. "Do you want to hear it?!"
"Go on." Andros said. "I'm listening."
"Alright. If you can beat me, then I'll tell you where your sister is." Darkonda said, clutching his fist.
Andros gasped and looked down, unware that the trap was right behind him.
"But if you lose-" Darkonda added.
"I don't make deals, Darkonda!" Andros snapped.
They then both charged at each other, Andros firing his Astro Blaster as he did, hitting Darkonda in the chest. They then locked swords, then Darkonda grabbed Andros' hand and pushed him forward. Andros then pushed Darkonda off of him, then sent a kick at him, but he hit his foot with his sword, then he sent a slash at him with his saber, but he blocked it with his sword. They then locked swords again, then again as Andros pushed Darkonda back slightly with his, then Andros spun around to hit him with his saber, but missed as he moved back.
They then locked swords again, then Andros spun around before they glared at each other. Andros then spun around again and slashed Darkonda across the chest, and then kicked him in the chest, knocking him down.
"Agh!" he groaned, landing near a tree.
He got to his knees and clutched his chest.
"Have you had enough?!" Andros asked.
"Oh, hardly." Darkonda retorted, as he'd landed behind his trap. "You know, your sister doesn't even know that you exist."
Ecliptor then showed up by Andros' Galaxy Gilder.
"What?!" Andros gasped, as Ecliptor turned to him and Darkonda.
"And, unless I tell you, she may never know!" Darkonda sniggered.
"This is getting interesting." Ecliptor admitted.
"Then you better start talking!" Andros threatened, holding his saber near Darkonda's face.
"And if I don't what are you gonna do about it?!" Darkonda retorted, laughing.
"This!" Andros snapped.
He charged directly at Darkonda.
"Yes, come and get me!" he sniggered.
"Darkonda!" Andros bellowed.
"Come and get me?!" Darkonda dared.
He then turned right, and saw Ecliptor diving towards them.
"What?!" Darkonda exclaimed, as Ecliptor pushed Andros down. "Nooo!"
Andros fell over, as Ecliptor skidded to his knees, as Darkonda got up.
"What do you think you're doing?!" he demanded, running to where Andros was, but then accidently stepped onto the mine. "Huh?"
All three of them turned as the lasers hit Darkonda's foot.
"Nooooooo!" he shouted, before he blew up.
"Agh!" Ecliptor and Andros groaned, turning away.
"Noooo!" Andros frowned, as they got up." Ecliptor, you're going to pay for this! You have no idea what you've done!"
"I know exactly what I've done." Ecliptor snapped, as they turned to each other. "I just saved you from total destruction."
"You saved me, Ecliptor?" Andros questioned, bewildered.
"Yes, once, and only once." Ecliptor said. "I will not save you again."
He turned and walked away.
"But...why did you this time?" Andros asked, confused.
"Goodbye, Red Ranger." Ecliptor said, ignoring him, before he vanished.
Andros ran towards where he'd vanished.
"Oh, no. Darkonda was the only one who knew where Karone was." he moaned. "Now I'll never find her!"
Back in the city, the others were still fighting Batarax and the Quantrons.
Cassie did backwards handspring as Batarax tried to hit her and Ashley, who ducked down slightly. Carlos blocked a Quantron's kick with his hands, while TJ turned and punched another in the chest, as Mel spun around and tackled a third.
Andros then ran towards the top of the steps.
"Hey, guys, I'm back!" he called, stopping at the top of them.
Lighting then hit him in the back, sending him flying to the middle of the steps, as it was bigger than the rest.
"Ahhh!" he moaned, before he hit the ground.
He clutched his left shoulder, as Astronema appeared on top of the stairs. He then got up and turned to her, as TJ blocked a Quantron's punch with his forearm, before punching it himself in the chest, while Mel side kicked another in the chest as it came at her.
"Astronema!" Andros growled.
"Maybe I'll take a Ranger out myself." Astronema said.
"You can try." Andros retorted.
He then charged at Astronema, who then tried to stab him with her staff, but he blocked it with his saber. He then blocked another stab, then another, then ducked as she tried to whack him with the end of her staff, and then blocked a whack from the pointy end with his saber. He then spun around to kick her, but missed as she ducked, then he tried to hit her with his saber, but she blocked it with her staff.
She then whacked him in the elbow with the end of her staff, but then he grabbed the end and lifted it over his head. He then tried to hit her with his saber, but she pulled her staff back and blocked the saber with it, before kicking him in the chest, knocking him back. They both breathed, before Andros tried to hit her over the head with his saber, but missed as she ducked, and then he ducked as she tried to whack him.
She then blocked his saber with her staff, then spun around and then tried to hit him with the pole end, but he blocked it with his saber. He then blocked another whack from her staff with his saber, then they both spun around to hit each other again, but she missed, while he knocked her locket off.
"Noooooo!" she cried, as it went flying away.
It then landed on a pipe on a piece of downed wall, the chain wrapped around the pipe.
"Ah!" Astronema gasped, feeling her neck for it.
She turned to the piece of wall, as Andros already looked at it.
"What was that?" he wondered.
Astronema pushed past him towards the second half of the steps, only for the other Rangers to get in front of them.
"Give it up, Astronema!" Andros said, as she turned from him to the others.
She and the Rangers then saw the Quantrons help Batarax up, and then the Quantrons all ran away.
"Yeah." Ashley grinned, as the Rangers turned to Astronema. "Even your own troops are running scared!"
The Quantrons pushed past Batarax as they ran off, knocking him down.
"How do you like your troops now?" Mel asked sarcastically.
"Fire the Satellasers!" Astronema yelled loudly, pointing her staff up at the sky.
Up in space, the Satellasers fired from the Dark Fortress towards Earth.
The Satellasers then hit Batarax as he got up, making him grow giant.
"Whoa!" Andros gasped, as the Rangers all looked up at him. "Let's finish this, Astronema!"
He went to slice her with his saber, but she vanished before he could strike.
"Oh, man! She got away." Andros groaned, looking around.
He turned to the others as they turned and gathered around him.
"Everybody alright?" Andros asked.
"Yeah." Carlos replied.
"Sure." Mel replied.
"Good. Now where'd that thing go?" Andros wondered, looking around for the locket, but couldn't see it. "I thought it went right there."
He kept looking around, just as Mel ran and patted his shoulder.
"Andros, we've got bigger problems!" she exclaimed, pointing at Batarax, who growled.
"You're right, it'll have to wait." Andros realized, as he and the others looked at Batarax.
"We need Astro Megazord power now!" the Rangers shouted, holding their right hands up like a chopper, and their left by their chests like a chopper, then twirled them around while clutching their fists, then held their left up, and their right by their left elbows, then held their right arms up, and their left by their mouthpieces.
The Astro Megaship began to change into the Astro Megazord. The shuttle flew off away from it, then it spun around and flew back towards the Megaship. The front of the Megaship then split in half, as the shuttle flew towards the top of the bits that split.
Go Power Rangers
The shuttle then changed into a head shape.
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 shuttle then attached itself to the top, forming the Astro Megazord.
Go Power Rangers
Ah...
"Astro Megazord, online!" Andros shouted.
The Astro Megazord then shot down towards Earth.
"Prepare for touchdown!" Andros ordered.
The Astro Megazord then landed in the city, and turned to Batarax, who howled.
"Let's do it!" Andros said.
"Right!" the others said.
The Astro Megazord then marched towards Batarax.
"He's got a radar!" Carlos exclaimed.
"I'll set the sonic neutralizers." Cassie said.
"And I'll power up my boom box." Mel said, as her helmet symbol lit up.
"Your defences are useless against me!" Batarax growled.
His eyes glowed, and then he fired sonic waves from his ears.
"He changed frequency!" Cassie gasped, as her helmet symbol lit up. "I can't correct it!"
The others all turned to her, then Mel put her hands on the side of her helmet.
"His sonic waves are more powerful than mine!" she cried.
"Huh?" TJ muttered.
Sparks then came out of the Astro Megazord's chest, then the other Rangers touched the sides of their helmets.
"Agh!" they groaned.
More sparks came out of the Astro Megazord's chest, then Batarax fired more sonic waves at it, causing more sparks to come out of it.
"We've got to find a jamming frequency!" Andros bellowed.
"I'm sending my waves at him but they're not powerful enough!" Mel shouted.
"Our power is being drained!" Carlos groaned.
"The sonic scanner's offline!" Cassie moaned.
More sparks came out of the Astro Megazord's chest, and then it fell to its knee.
Mel tried powering up her boom box symbol, while Cassie pressed buttons at her scanner.
"Wait a minute...the scanner's locked." she said, shocked. "His signal's been neutralized."
"Well, I didn't do it!" Mel argued.
"Weird?" Carlos said.
"No matter!" Batarax growled. "I'll change the frequencies again."
Cassie turned from her scanner to the others.
"It's holding." she reported. "Now's our chance."
"Laser whip online!" Andros shouted.
The laser whip shout out of the Astro Megazord's, then wrapped around Batarax's arm, but then it pulled back. It then fired its blaster at him, hitting him several times in the chest.
"Agh! This can't be happening!" he growled.
"All systems are back online, and we've got full power." Andros reported.
Batarax then charged at the Astro Megazord.
"This guy's got bats in the belfry. Astro Megazord Saber!" Andros shouted.
The Astro Megazord Saber lit up as Baratax stopped and groaned. It then slashed him across the chest twice like an X, and then he blew up.
The Astro Megazord then stood at ease.
Later, Andros walked amongst the rubble from the ground battle, looking for Astronema's locket. He walked slowly and looked around carefully, but then stopped and spotted it on the pipe he'd knocked it onto. He walked towards the pipe and then picked the locket up, and examined it closely.
"Don't touch that!" a voice yelled.
Andros turned around and saw Astronema by the steps, before she walked towards him. He held the locket up, then opened it up, showing a picture of a young him and Karone, shocking him.
"Where did you get this?" he asked.
"I've always had it!" Astronema snapped, snatching the locket from him.
She walked past him slightly and looked at it.
"Is it possible?" Andros said quietly. "Could she be Karone."
Andros pulled his own locket from beneath his shirt and turned to Astronema, who then turned to him.
"I've always had mine too." he explained, opening it up, showing the pictures.
Astronema looked shocked, before he closed it.
"I can't believe this." Andros admitted.
"What are you talking about?" Astronema questioned.
"You're Karone, my sister." Andros explained.
"Karone?" Astronema said.
She closed her eyes, trying to think, as Andros looked desperate.
"That's not true!" Astronema snapped, staring at him. "You destroyed my parents, and my brother!"
She pulled her hand away as he tried to grab her.
"No, listen to me. I am your brother." Andros pleaded.
Astronema turned away, thinking for a minute, before she looked at her locket, and then turned back to Andros.
"Nice try, Red Ranger, but your tricks won't work on me!" she sneered.
Andros looked bewildered, before she vanished.
"Wait!" he pleaded.
He sighed and looked up at the sky, as what he'd found out was a lot to take in.
Later, inside a cave, Darkonda was looking up at a hologram of Dark Spector.
"The Red Ranger knows the truth." Darkonda explained. "It is only a matter of time before Astronema knows too. She may stray."
"Never! My power over her is too strong!" Dark Spector snapped.
"Of course, Dark Spector." Darkonda said. "Your power is without parallel, but-"
"But what?!" Dark Spector growled.
"I'm afraid that Ecliptor has tarnished Astronema's evil sprit." Darkonda explained. "You see, he has shown her caring. Caring and evil do not mix. It could be an explosive combination."
"I hope that you are wrong, Darkonda." Dark Spector snarled.
Darkonda grinned and nodded.
Onboard the Dark Fortress, Astronema was pacing around near Ecliptor.
"The Red Ranger, my brother!" she spat, disbelieving as she stopped near him. "What a fool he takes me for?"
"Obviously a cruel trick." Ecliptor noted.
"And he'll pay dearly for it!" Astronema vowed, turning to him. "I promise you. I'll see to that."
"Yes." Ecliptor said, as she pushed past him.
"Out of my way!" she snapped, walking towards her room.
"My princess?" Ecliptor questioned, as she entered it.
He turned around and put his hand to his chin.
"Hmm?" he muttered, wondering what to do.
On the Megaship, Andros was explaining to the others what he'd discovered on the bridge.
"I've been searching for her, high and low, and all this time, she was right under my nose." he explained, walking towards them. "And she doesn't believe me. She thinks it's some sort of trick."
He stopped between Mel and Ashley as they all looked at him.
"First, you need to convince her you're telling the truth." TJ told him.
"Andros, please be careful." Ashley cautioned. "Even if she does believe you, she might not have any good left in her."
"You're wrong!" Andros argued. "Somewhere inside Astronema's Karone. I've just got to figure out a way to reach her."
Mel sighed and touched his shoulder.
"I understand." she said. "I mean, if I found out Sara had become like that, I'd do everything I could to reach her, no matter how long it took."
"Thanks, Mel." Andros said.
Next time on Power Rangers in Space...
Astronema appears on the Megaship's viewing screen.
"Andros, meet me on KO-35." she said.
Andros walks past a tree and spots her by another.
"Karone!" he calls, getting her attention. "You remember, don't you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" she grits, aiming her staff at him.
Darkonda sniggers from behind a bush.
Astronema fires lighting out of her staff, as Andros rolls to his right to avoid it.
Darkonda looks at Dark Spector in the cave.
"It was invertible that she would learn of her childhood." Dark Spector said.
"Astronema cannot be trusted!" Darkonda argues.
Ecliptor walks towards him in a forest.
"I should've destroyed you a long time ago!" he retorts.
"You can't!" Darkonda snaps.
Darkonda wraps his arm around Ecliptor, and then merges them back into Darkliptor.
Astronema stands with Ecliptor on the Dark Fortress.
"Destroy the Red Ranger!" she orders.
A spike covered plant monster grunts.
He then knocks Andros' morpher off his hand in a city, sending it flying away, as he clutched his wrist.
