Summary: Andros and Zhane get in one of the worst ights ever

Author's Note: I'm a big PRIS fan, and I love Dark Angel. I know the show ended like 4 or 5 years ago but I taped all the episodes and I still watch them and I am still enjoying the show. This takes place after Count Down to Destruction. All the rangers all doing missions to keep the universe safe.

The Fight

"So they're meeting us here right?" Andros asked.

"Yeah. Karone and Zhane said they would come to your room", Ashley replied.

Just then the door opened and in walked Zhane causally. Karone followed and another boy that Andros had never seen before entered as well. As soon as the boy entered, Andros frowned.

"Who are you?" he asked rather rudely.

Zhane sat on Andros' bed next to Andros and replied, "this is Mik'el from KO35. Karone was boring me so I decided it was time to make new friends."

With this statement Ashley and Karone held in a giggle as soon as she saw Andros' frown become even worst as he planted a gaze on Zhane.

"Why is he in my room, Zhane?" Andros asked obviously holding back irritation.

Zhane laid back and ignored the tone Andros had with him.

"I invited him to go on that mission to the Welter planet with us. I mean its not like you'll have a problem with that right?"

Zhane was deliberately trying to get on Andros' nerves. Everybody on the Megaship could feel the tension in the room whenever the two friends were together. Lately it was like they were always fighting. Karone was sick of the fighting. She didn't know for sure what they were fighting about, but whatever it was, it was getting worst.

"He can't go Zhane." Andros was obviously holding in his anger. No one except Zhane had ever actually seen Andros completely pissed. He always held in his anger as best as he could. "It's not safe for some random person to join us, the power rangers, on a mission."

"Well, he's not just some random person. He's trained in martial arts and he is in line next to become a arm soldier for KO35."

"Well then, let him go back home, and become a soldier. Then we'll think about letting him go."

"Damn it Andros. Who died and made you the boss of everything? I said he could go. He's already here. He's going. End of story."

Andros was now turning red in the face and glaring hard at Zhane. Ashley and Mik'el both confused and not knowing what to do. Cassie, Carlos, and TJ were already on a mission for KO35, and TJ and Cassie were always the ones to break up the story.

"Well Zhane...the next time you get bored with the crew on the ship are you going to invite some soon to be soldier to join us on our mission, where we have a chance that we might not make it out of the mission? Are you Zhane?"

"You know what Andros? Shut up. You said that you were going to try and be nicer to people like you use to be. Now you're still the asshole you were when I woke up from my coma. I died, and come back to this? It's not worth it." Zhane was obviously getting off edge. Zhane was always the laid back guy that never lost his temper. He was obviously walking a thin line of anger with Andros.

"Then why the hell don't you go back into a coma. Ever since you came back you've changed. I may be an asshole, but at least I'm not the back stabber."

Everything went silent in the room. Andros and Zhane were glaring at each other, when Karone stood up. Andros was about to yell at Zhane again, but found himself surrounded by purple light. He turned his glare to Karone. She had worked some of her power on him. If looks could kill, she would be dead on the spot.

"I can't take this anymore! Andros all you do is yell and fight with people! Mostly Zhane!" Andros' eyes were wide. "I just...want this to stop. She flicked her wrist at them and their voices were restored.

No one in the room moved. Everyone just stayed in their spots not moving or talking. Everyone's eyes were moved to Ashley when she shifted.

"What is going on with you too, Andros?" Ashley asked him hoping that he would calm down to her voice and answer. Instead he glared at her, before turning his gaze back to Karone.

Then Zhane rang out into the silence; "he's just being an ass."

Every eye went to Andros as he let out a low growl. He placed his head in is hands, and that's when everyone became wide eyed. Zhane stood up in shock to see his friends change. Andros' blonde stripes had turned red and more growling was heard from Andros. When he looked up at Zhane his eyes were glowing red. Andros stood up and got in Zhane's face. He didn't touch him. He only stared into his eyes.

"You want him to go? I mean really want him to go?" Zhane was afraid to answer. He had never seen such a transform in Andros. He nodded slightly. And Andros continued. "Then he can go. I really can't stand to be around any of you stupid people anymore. He can take my place."

Andros words were husky and just above a whisper, so everyone in the room could hear him. He turned his gaze to Ashley and the red in his eyes faded when he saw he terrified she looked. He stilled raged with anger when he turned back to Zhane. "I'm tired of everyone going against me, making me the bad guy. Well, you won't have to deal with me anymore. I'm outta here."

With that Andros left. Everyone in the room just stood there in their spots.

Then Karone spoke up in a quivering voice, "he'll come back. He just has to calm down and blow of some steam."

Two weeks had gone by and no one had heard from Andros since the night he left. He wasn't answering his communicator and no one could track him down. It was like he had disappeared. When Cassie, TJ, and Carlos came back they were shocked to hear what had happened. Ashley, Cassie, and Karone all sat in Ashley's room trying to calm her down. She had been crying ever since he left. It had all happened so fast and now she was grieving someone she loved.

"We'll find him, Ashley. Don't worry we'll find him." Cassie repeated to her best friend trying to soothe her pain.
