*** Disclaimer- You know the drill, I don't own Power Rangers Lost in Space and all that other stuff. But Andel, the Harps and the cosmos ranger legend are all mine mine mine mine mine. * chuckles nervously* ^_^* Just kidding I'm not normally this defensive… really I'm not.

Chapter 4: The Race for the Antidote and the Legend

Karone and Ashley take her Galaxy Glider down to KO-35 and they fly over to a wooden area where Karone said the plant was. They land and Karone starts to look around.

"Umm Karone there's something I need to tell you… about Zhane?" Ashley says and Karone stops.

Karone turns around and walks back over to Ashley.

" What is it?" Karone asks worried.

" He go injured today because of me. One of the Harps were going to stab me in the back with their claws and Zhane pushed me out of the way." Ashley says ashamed.

She looks down at the ground and Karone smiles warmly. Karone puts her hands on Ashley's shoulder and rests her forehead on Ashley's.

" It's ok Ashley. It happens, he would have done that for anyone just like you would right?" Karone says sweetly.

" Right." Ashley says with a sigh.

" Ok then, now let's get that antidote and get back to save Zhane." Karone says standing up straight.

" Right!" Ashley says enthusiastically.

Karone walks away and starts looking through some shrubs as Ashley looks at her surroundings and sees a tall rock cliff and a cave.

"Hmm what's this?" Ashley asks as Karone looks around a bush for the Lashandra plant.

Ashley walks into the cave and looks around at the walls, there's some strange writing and a few pictures. One of the pictures has six people who look like rangers (red, yellow, pink, black, blue and silver rangers) standing in a semi-circle around a seventh person. The seventh person has on a morpher like the one Ashley has except the morpher is silver and gold.

"Ashley! Help!" Karone yells from outside of the cave.

Ashley runs out of the cave and sees a Harp trying to get the Lashandra plant from Karone.

"Let's rocket!" Ashley says and morphs into the yellow ranger.

She rushes over to the Harp and kicks it in the face. It stagers backward away from Karone.

" Karone take my Galaxy Glider and go back to the Mega ship." Ashley says over her shoulder.

" But what about you?" Karone asks stubbornly.

" Don't worry I'll be fine. Now go! Zhane needs that antidote." Ashley says firmly as Karone reluctantly nods.

Karone runs for the Galaxy Glider as Ashley roundhouse kicks the Harp in the midsection. The Harp doubles over as Ashley pulls out her blaster (Sorry people I dunna remember what it's called. ^_~*) and shoots the Harp in the head. It screams in pain then disintegrates. Ashley looks around her and sees nothing.

" Looking for her?" Andel says from behind Ashley.

Ashley whips around to see Andel floating in the air holding Karone with no sign of the Lashandra plant.

" Let her go Andel!" Ashley yells helplessly.

" Give me the cosmos ranger and she'll go free." Andel says holding Karone tighter.

" I don't know what you're talking about. There's no cosmos ranger." Ashley says as Andel laughs evilly.

" You expect me to belie-" Andel says as she shot in the back by a laser beam.

She drops Karone and she starts falling to the ground. Ashley runs to catch her when a morphed Andros catches her on his Galaxy Glider.

" I'll find the cosmos ranger, and when I do nothing will stop me from taking over this miserable planet!" Andel says laughing evilly as she disappears in a cloud of purple smoke.

" Thanks for saving me." Karone says standing up on Andros's Galaxy Glider as he and Ashley de-morph.

" No problem, you're my sister I'm not supposed to save you?" Andros asks chuckling lightly.

" What happened to the Lashandra plant?" Ashley asks as her Galaxy Glider flies over to her.

" It's right here." Karone says pulling the small plant from a pouch on her side.

The Lashandra plant looks kind of like a snapdragon but larger and the flowers are silver; Ashley and Andros smile.

" Come on lets get back to the Mega ship, Zhane's fading fast." Andros says determined.

Ashley and Karone nod in agreement and they quickly fly back to the Mega ship on the Galaxy Gliders. When they reach the Mega ship Karone races to the Med. Bay and gives Alpha the Lashandra plant as Ashley and Andros run in. All the rangers stand around Zhane as Alpha crushes up the flowers on the Lashandra plant and mixes the power with a strange light green liquid in a tall glass and turns the liquid whitish green. Alpha waddles over to Zhane and Andros helps Zhane sit up.

" Here Zhane drink this." Alpha says handing the glass to Andros.

Andros pours the whitish green liquid into Zhane's mouth and he swallows it. Andros lays him back down on the examining table and takes a step away from Zhane to stand next to Ashley. Ashley looks at Zhane biting her lower lip when Andros puts his arm around her shoulders and she looks up at him.

" It wasn't your fault Ashley. If Zhane hadn't pushed you out of the way it would have been you laying there right now and I couldn't bear that." Andros says tightening his arm around Ashley's shoulders holding her close to him.

"Besides that Ash, who would have been there to protect Karone when she went to get the Lashandra plant? Carlos, TJ and I couldn't have we had to help Alpha get the rest of the antidote ready and Andros would have been too much of a wreck to do it. So don't beat yourself up over it Ash, it could have been worse." Cassie says smiling at her and Ashley smiles back.

"Thanks you guys… I needed to hear that." Ashley says smiling.

" No problem." Cassie says looking back at Zhane.

" That's what I'm here for." Andros says lightly squeezing Ashley's shoulder.

" Hey Alpha, Andel mentioned something about a cosmos ranger. Do you know what she was talking about?" Karone asks looking from Zhane to Alpha.

" The cosmos ranger? I just thought that was a myth. Well Zordan and I hear a legend about a ranger called the cosmos ranger. Now the cosmos ranger was supposed to be the sole protector of KO-35 and was also said to be the most powerful ranger ever, but we just thought it was a legend." Alpha says looking around at all the rangers.

" It's not Alpha. When Karone and I were out getting the Lashandra plant I found a cave that had some strange carvings and a picture of all us rangers standing around another person with a gold and silver morpher." Ashley says looking at Alpha then looking up at Andros.

"Ashley you must show me where this cave is so I can translate the carvings." Alpha says and Ashley nods.

" Once Zhane's recovered, I have a feeling we all should be there for this." Andros says looking around at everyone.

" Yeah just in case Andel attacks again." Carlos says nodding his head in agreement.

Then they all trail off and look at Zhane. He's lying on the examining table with his eyes closed and he's breathing normally. Then his eyes slowly open and he looks around at everyone.

" What's wrong you guys? Who died?" Zhane says siting up.

"Don't you ever do that to me again." Karone says smiling and hugging Zhane tightly.

"I'm sorry I just couldn't let a friend get hurt that all." Zhane says trying to sound heroic.

"Umm Zhane." Ashley says as Zhane looks up at her.

" Yeah?" Zhane asks meeting her eyes.

"Thanks for saving me back there." Ashley says and Zhane smiles.

" No problem Ashley. I was glad to do it." Zhane says smiling and Ashley smiles back.
