"Welcome aboard the Astro Megaship," Andros said proudly as they walked onboard.

It was William who walked out into the main corridor, admiring the ship. "Titanium based alloy, high definition security cameras," he turned to Andros. "What do you use as a power source?" he inquired.

"A multi-spectral quantum drive,"

"How have you compensated for the phase variances in the quantum drive?"

"We use a remodulating field condenser to distribute the power throughout the entire drive to prevent the variances," he told him.

"Of course, a field condenser. Why didn't I think of that?"

"Can you take me to Adam now?" Tanya asked, interrupting them.

Andros nodded. "Of course. All of you should get some much-needed rest. D.E.C.A. will direct you to quarters, and tomorrow morning we'll begin our assault," he told them.

"D.E.C.A.?"

'I am D.E.C.A.' a voice said.

They all glanced around. "An integrated artificially intelligent computer system. Awesome," William said.

"D.E.C.A., arrange quarters for our guests. Tommy, if you'll come with me," he said.

Tommy leaned over, kissing Katherine gently on the cheek. "I'll catch up with you," he said.

"Okay,"

~~

Tommy and Andros walked down the corridor, turning left and walking into the first room they came to. "This is the bridge, center of all D.E.C.A.'s operating systems," he told him.

Tommy glanced around. "It reminds me a lot of the command center back on Earth,"

"Its not surprising, most of the technology you used was created and developed on KO-35. The Astro Megaship is the fastest ship in the known galaxy," he said.

"I'm impressed,"

"I asked you to come here because there is something I think you should know, and I didn't want to alert the others," he walked over to the control panel, pulling up information on the screen. "I have reason to believe that Astronema is planning to bring back Serpentera," he said.

"Wasn't Serpentera destroyed when Lord Zedd was defeated and the Machine Empire took control of the moon?"

"No, it remained buried on the surface of the moon. As of right now, Astronema doesn't know the exact location of the zord, and even if she did, doesn't have a sufficient power source to power it. I think we…" he was cut short.

"Astronema has the Eltarian Crystal," Tommy told him.

"But how?"

"We were ambushed at the Temple of Light. Zolara betrayed us and stole the crystal," he sighed.

"If Astronema manages to give Serpentera an unlimited power source like the Eltarian Crytsal, the Dark Alliance will rule the entire universe,"

"So what's the plan?"

"I believe that's where I come in," he heard a voice say.

Tommy turned around as the Phantom Ranger walked onto the bridge with a box in his hand. Tommy quickly stood on guard, ready for the Phantom Ranger to make a move. "I thought we destroyed you," he said.

"Relax Tommy, this is the real Phantom Ranger," Andros said.

Tommy put his guard down. "But how? I thought you were…"

"Astronema captured me and send a replica back to the Command Center with fake Zeonizers. I was able to escape, and when her replica was destroyed, I took his place. After I gained Astronema's trust, I was able to find these," he said, presenting Tommy with the box.

He quickly looked inside. "Our Zeonizers," he said.

 "I was also able to access Astronema's files on board her ship. I know where they're keeping Zordon, and I'm going to go to Earth and aid the Turbo rangers. If this is going to succeed, we're going to need their help," he explained.

"But what about Divatox and her armies? The Earth needs to be defended," Tommy said.

"I intercepted a transmission that Astronema sent to Earth; she's planning to have Divatox leave Earth and re-join the Dark Alliance. The Earth will be safe, so now,"

"So what's the plan?"

"By now, Astronema knows she has been deceived, so I should get to Earth as soon as I can before she decides to move her plan forward. You and the other rangers should storm the moon and destroy their base of operation. If they find out where Serpentera is, this war is over. Once that base is gone, we should be able to handle things from there," he explained.

"Is the base heavily guarded?"

"I believe the Earth term is Fort Knox. They've got hundreds of Quantrons surrounding the base, security cams inside, not to mention force fields, cloak detectors and booby traps,"

"So if we can't even use a cloaked ship, how are we suppose to get in there unnoticed?" he asked.

"I'm going to go in first and allow myself to be captured. When I get inside, I'll drop this…" he held up a small sphere. "It's a mesotronic bomb, its designed to disrupt electrical components with a electro magnetic field. That should be enough to shut down their defenses, and with the force fields down, you should be able to lock onto my signal and teleport me out of there," Andros told him.

"After Andros is safely on board, you and the others should be able to bring the base down. Once the base is out the way, the Alliance will be crippled enough for the rest of the rebellion to move in and take down the Alliance once and for all," the Phantom Ranger said.

Adam opened his eyes slowly, only to find himself laying on an examining table of some kind. His vision was blurry, but he did manage to see her.

"Tanya," he whispered.

"Yes baby, its me," she said cheerfully, leaning over and kissing him on the forehead. "How do you feel?"

"Like a truck fell on me," he tried to sit up, but the disorientation got the best of him and quickly laid back down. "What happened?"

"A truck fell on you,"

He chuckled. "Figures. Where are we?"

"We're onboard the Astro Megaship. Andros teleported you here, the others are here too," she told him.

"Zolara has the Eltarian Crystal, we have to get it back," he said, trying to sit up again.

Tanya shook her head. "What you need is to give your body time to heal. You're lucky to be alive right now. Just let us deal with Zolara," she told him.

"But I have to…"

It was Katherine who walked over to him, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Tanya is right, you need to rest. Right now Tommy and Andros are going over a plan. We'll get the crystal back and we'll stop the Dark Alliance," she said.

"Lets face it, we're five powerless rangers going against an entire army. How do you expect to defend the entire universe without our powers?" he asked.

"I can answer that," a voice said.

They turned around as Tommy walked into the room. Katherine quickly rushed over to him, wrapping her arms around him.

"Hey," she sighed.

"Hey," he walked over to Adam. "How are you feeling?"

"Like a truck fell on me,"

He turned around, facing Tanya and Katherine. "Where is William?"

"He went to the engine room. He said there was something he wanted to see," Tanya said.

"I just had a long time with Andros, and he's convinced that we can cripple the Dark Alliance by destroying their military installation on the moon. Once we do, our job will be done and we can go home," he said.

"But how are we suppose to destroy anything without our powers?" Adam inquired.

Tommy opened a small box, revealing the Zeonizers inside. "The real Phantom Ranger managed to get them from Astronema before he escaped her ship. We should be able to call on our zords if we need them too," he said.

Both Katherine and Tanya reached in the box, grabbing their morphers and putting them on their wrists. "Astronema won't know what hit her," Tanya said, admiring her Morpher.

"Adam, I don't think it's a good idea that you come with us on this one. You're not at 100%, and I don't want you…" he was cut short as Adam sat up.

"When this started, you told us that you wouldn't force any of us to come. I came because I wanted to help, to make a difference," he slid off the examining table. "I didn't come all this way to sit on the bench when the real action goes down," Adam explained.

Tommy reached in the box, throwing Adam his Morpher. "You're right. Everyone get some rest, because tomorrow we're going to end this," Tommy told them.
