The battle was going strong, everything Jen had told them was happening. The rangers were fighting there way over to Kenar where he stood watching, with his powerful weapon by him. "Come on guys we can do this," said Tommy leading the team of ranger closer, battling through the alien army.
Kenar watched angrily his army was failing against the rangers. "Time to turn things up a nudge," he moved his weapon, pointed straight at the rangers. The weapon began powering up.
"Oh, no" cried Jen, as she was as the weapon powered up, knowing very well what will happen next. Everything seemed to happen in slowly, motion. Coda eyed Kenar darkly. Years ago he had made a mistake it battling Kenar, but today was going to be different. Today Kenar would go down for sure, no mater what.
"Everyone, get down," yelled Eric, everyone dropped to the ground. They all felt the powerful force go over them. It lasted for a long period of time; they were all hanging on for dear, life not to be pulled away with it. Once it was clear they all slowly stood up, Kenar looked at the ranger angrily.
His army had failed, it was just him and the ranger left. "Surrender while, you still have the chance," yelled Zhane.
Kenar laughed, "Surrender, my dear silver ranger," Kenar's eyes just seemed to glow. "You're the one's who should be surrendering," mocked Kenar. He then quickly moved the weapon up to the sky, programming something into the machine.
"Nooo," cried Tommy charging right at Kenar with the other following behind him all but Coda. He just seemed frozen as if he was feeling something, sensing something coming.
Kenar saw the rangers heading right at them, he laughed. He then powered up his hand and zapped them. Forcing them to fall back to the ground, they were all on their knees struggling to get up. But Kenar some how was preventing them to do so. He laughed as he watched them struggle to get up.
Coda began approaching him, with his blaster firmly in his hands. But Kenar saw him; he curved his hand a little. The ranger, all began struggling; Coda saw that they were all struggling to breathe. He could hear them all gasping out for air. Coda stopped in his tracks, and tossed his weapon to the ground.
"That's better," he released the ranger from the choking grip. Coda just stood there, he was helpless to do anything. Risking his own life was one thing, but he could not do that to his friends. Kenar laughed he could see the agony in the ranger. Kenar powered up his weapon.
The rangers watched in fear, as they saw the weapon glow a bright red color. Again they all tried to get free, but were un able to. "No, this can't be happing," yelled Tommy trying to force himself free. But what ever Kenar did to them, was preventing to move.
Jen watched in fear, as she saw it happening all over again. The powerful blast went straight up in the sky, fearing it would do the same thing it had down before. But moments passed the blast had no gone through yet.
"What, it should have already destroyed to planet. Why hasn't the blast gone through," yelled Kenar angrily.
He could hear the ranger all laughing, he turned to them looking at them all darkly. "What is so funny," he yelled.
"Let's just say, we knew what was going to happen before it happened," said Andros, quite amused by Kenars frustration. But the ranger's joy would no last long; a loud cracking noise could be heard in the sky. They all looked up in fear; the barrier they had put around the planet was losing its power.
Kenar laughed out loud, "It seems rangers that your plan is failing, and I have won," said Kenar. The rangers began pulling hard to get free, but Kenar still had his hold on them.
Deep in space the ranger were just flying over the planet, they could see a huge energy trying to burst out of the planet. "What the heck it that?" asked Carlos looking out the window, all the ranger ran over to him. They could see what looked to be a barrier around the planet coming apart.
"I don't know, but I don't like it," said T.J. knowing that something was very wrong. Ashley looked out in fear, Andros was on this planet.
"Andros," said Ashley softly, Cassie put her arm around he friend conferring her best she could.
"Rangers," said voice, they all looked around seeing no one. They all looked at each other thinking, who was that. "Listen there isn't much time, you need to set your mega ship on self-destruct, and I have already set a tracking device for it to head to its location. Once you set the self-destruct, you MUST teleport down to the planet far enough away from the planet," Cassie thought about it for a moment and then she knew who the voice belonged to.
"Phantom ranger," she said aloud.
"Yes, it is me. Now please hurry the barrier won't hold for much longer," he said. T.J. nodded his head they had to move fast.
"Decca set ship to self-destruct," said T.J.
"Setting ship to self-destruct," a second or two later. "Ship will self-destruct, in two minutes," said Decca.
T.J. looked at his teammates, they all nodded there heads. "Well, there goes another ship," laughed Carlos as they all teleported off of the ship.
Coda took a deep breath; if his plan did not work it would be the end of them as well as the earth. He was grateful his ruby had a tracking device implanted in it, but it would come at a cost. A cost he was willing to take.
Kenar watched as the barrier came apart, he began laughing darkly. The ranger looked up to the sky fearing for the worse until they saw. Kenars eyes grew wide, he began shaking in fear. He then turned and looked over at Coda and stared darkly at him. "YOU!" he yelled.
"It's over, Kenar," said Coda, as he watched as the mega ship headed right at the weapon and Kenar, in a huge explosion. The explosion forced the rangers far back, demorphing them. Sand and smoke was all over the place.
Once the smoke began to clear, the ranger found themselves covered in sand. "There they are," cried Ashley running over to Andros with the other following behind her. Ashley ran to Andros helping him up, to his feet. "Oh, Andros," cried Ashley putting her arms around him. Andros put his arms around her, the battle was over and most importantly she was okay.
T.J. helped Tommy up to his feet. Tommy then brushed the sand off of his clothing. "Man, do I need a vacation. Pevely one that doesn't evolve a beach," said Tommy smiling.
T.J. laughed, "You can say that again," said T.J. everyone began helping each other up to there feet, checking over making sure everyone was okay.
"How did you guys know?" asked Jason, not knowing how they knew to set their ship on a course to the weapon.
"The phantom ranger contacted us," said Cassie. It wasn't until then, that Andros noticed he was missing, he took a deep breath. He began looking around, feeling as though everything was going around him in circles.
"Coda," called out Andros, there was no answer. The space rangers looked at each other oddly, who was Coda. Everyone watched as Andros ran out ahead of them, they all followed behind them.
Andros was only a few feet away, there was Coda lying flat on the ground. Parts of his suite were lying on the ground around him. Andros ran over to him dropping to his knees. "Coda," he cried, but there was no answer. Andros put his head down, feeling the tears go down his face.
Everyone stood back, with there heads down. None of them knew what to do. Andros looked away from Coda for a moment; he saw the rubble of the weapon and Kenar's dead body. Andros's eyes lit up when he saw a red glow. He quickly crawled over to it and grabbed it in his hands. He then sat himself up, and opened the pawl of his hands. He put his head down; the red ruby was in pieces.
"Andros," said Coda softy, Andros dropped back down by Coda looking into the eyes of his old friend. Coda saw the ruby in pieces; he looked up to see the pain in Andros eyes.
He laughed lightly, "I never did like that thing anyways," he said.
"Don't say that," said Andros softly. He could hear Coda take a deep breath.
"Hey it's okay," said Coda softly. Andros and Coda just looked each other in the eyes no saying another word to each other.
One or two more chapters coming soon.
