Disclaimer: Still not mine. Wish I could say I'm working on it, but I'm not, it costs way too much for me to buy it. I do own Toynee, Eyn, Zeyah, Liaum, Andrew, Aaron, Andrea and any other character you don't recognize from the original series. If not, I'll let you know.

Make A Wish!

Summary: Sequel to 'Born To Fly otherwise know as The Freak'. The rangers are offered to make wishes and see what could have been. At first it seems great, until they find out they're stuck and have to find a way back to their own universe.

Firehunter: I decided to be even more sinister than in the last chapter.

Lucy E: Are you still as sure as you are after this chapter?

Jeanka: Hope this is enough action for you. I'll try to put in more in later chapters.

Starlight63: Don't be angry, here's the next.

Necroblade: Yeah, I'm stalling alright, but I know exactly who Dawn's boyfriend is and how your going to react. That's the fun part of writing. I'm the author and you're the readers and I can toy with you as much as I like. : laughs evilly: As for your school question, our school system is a different, as it probably is in every country, but in America I would probably be considered to be in college and no, I can't organize at all. New chapters just have a priority over homework. :grins: Oh and my foggy brain thinks I still have four weeks or something until I have exams, but I'm not sure, still to sleepy to check.

Jenny: I'm glad everyone seems to agree with me that wasn't very nice. I'm stalling and I like it. I studied France for five long years and if you ask me what I learned, I'll have to say; 'Not much'. I'm glad at least someone is able to use a learned language. Though I have to ask; 'Why Chinese?' It's early in the morning, so I didn't check a lot, just noticed your version was different from mine and used the copy and paste options of Word. Did notice a lot of spelling errors though, sorry for that one, mostly I have Word's grammar correction to keep most of the out, but I wrote the first part at school and those stupid computers don't have that option, or at least, IT DOESN'T WORK:cries softly: Stupid things.

Chapter 9

Ashley jumped to her feet and ran after Dawn and Asty to the control room. When she entered, the Karovan rangers teleported out. She was just in time to see the last of their teleportation lights. On the large viewing screen, an image of a very ugly monster was displayed.

Zhane was the only one in the control room to acknowledge her presence, so she walked over to him.

"That thing is butt ugly. They should make its existence a crime." Ashley muttered to no one in particular, although assuming Zhane would hear.

"I think they just did." Zhane chuckled.

As they watched the yellow ranger dodged a blast ending up behind her purple team mate.

"Facula flares!" The purple ranger called.

Two weapons appeared in her hands. They looked a lot like the power daggers the original yellow ranger used, only these were purple and the blades were made of a purple crystal.

"Solar flare power up!"

"Cover your eyes!" Deana yelled a warning.

Ashley watched Asty cross the blades in front of her and from the point of the crossed blades, an intense bright light started to form, growing larger and brighter.

"Fire."

The light turned into a ray, travelling towards the monster. She understood why Deana had told them to cover their eyes. The light was so intense, it was like looking into the sun, but she couldn't keep get herself to look away.

The beam of light hit and the light seemed to explode, momentarily blinding her. She felt Zhane's hand on her back, steadying her as she stumbled a bit.

"I warned you." Deana's voice said from somewhere in the dark, sounding amused. "Don't worry, it'll return in a minute."

"Do the rangers have to cover their eyes when Asty uses that too?" Ashley demanded, getting frustrated with only hearing the sounds of the battle, but not seeing it.

"No, Dawn says their visors have some kind of filter or something. It's like wearing sunglasses, only stronger." Deana answered, then added thoughtfully. "Gives them night vision too, I think."

The comm chimed and the control room fell silent, except for the sounds of battle. After a minute it silenced, but a moment later another chime sounded.

"Whoever it was has left an encoded message." Darien said after a short while.

Slowly her vision cleared and the control room shifted back into focus. From across the room she saw Andros shoot her a concerned look, but he stayed where he was.

She blinked a few times and turned her gaze back to the viewing screen.

"Nice weapon." She muttered and from the corner of her eye she saw Deana grin.

"Don't worry. The first few times I saw it being used it blinded me too." Deana asured.

"It's a real advantage for them. Asty disables their opponents vision for a minute and during that minute it's as blind as a bat, completely unable to see their attacks." Daniel explained. "That's mostly enough to destroy it too."

Zhane's hand left her back and she shot him a grateful look.

"Thanks." She muttered.

On the viewing screen the monster exploded, but there were still a few dozen Quantrons to take care of.

Dawn and Asty fought back to back, moving together fluently. Nothing seemed to come through their defence and if it did, the other was there to intercept the blow, kick or blade.

Not too far from them, Meatball and Dros stood backs facing each other, Spiral Saber and Super Silverizer, Blade-mode, raised, waiting for the first Quantron to be stupid enough to attack.

They were lucky, for as Ashley fixed her gaze on her, a Quantron charged at Dros, more following his lead.

Dros brought his Saber down, running it down the Quantron's chest. Sparkles followed the point of the weapon.

Another Quantron snuck up to him from behind and Dros twisted, his Saber following, not losing any of it's speed and too all eyes looking like the move had been planned that way.

Sword fighting must not be Meatball's thing, for he now held his Silverizer in blaster mode, happily shooting down Quantrons as if it was the most normal thing in the universe.

By now on the other side of the group of Quantrons, Eyn, Liaum and Zeyah formed an impenetrable wall between the Quantrons and the city, preventing them from attacking any colonists that decided to watch the fight.

It didn't take long until Zhane shot down the last remaining Quantron. The colonists cheered as the rangers powered down. A girl came running out the small group of watching colonists and threw her arms around Dros.

"Andros! When did you come back?" The girl exclaimed, placing a kiss on Dros' cheek.

Dros laughed and returned the hug.

"Hey Nychelle. We returned two night's ago." He replied.

"Why didn't you call me?" The girl winned.

As Ashley watched the girl and Dros interact, her heart sank. She didn't have high hopes of Dawn and Dros being together, but when she found out they grew up together, that hope had started to grow. Now that hope was shot out of the air.

Glancing over at Andros, she noticed he too didn't seem to be happy with the display either, but he quickly covered his expression with his famous poker face.

The light of teleportation brightened the control room for a moment with the return of the Karovan rangers. The girl, Nychelle, was there too, attached to Dros' side.

Dros introduced the others to him, but the whole thing was a blur to Ashley. She couldn't get herself to care.

"You've got mail." Darien said. "Encoded."

Dawn walked over to the comm consol and started typing. It didn't take long for her to look up again.

"Say's coming over." She said, a soft smile playing on her face.

Dros looked concered and looked around.

"Is that smart?" He asked.

"That he's coming doesn't mean he has to run in to them." Dawn replied.

"Who's Say?" Sandra asked.

"A friend." Liaum replied, the tone of his voice saying any more questions would not be answered.

"Uh, guys. Karlesha is asking us to show our faces." Eyn said.

"Alright, who's that?" Zhane demanded.

"Eyn's baby sister. She's six." Dawn replied. "Come on, let's go."

"I don't know…" Andros said thoughtfully, but it was no use.

Dawn had already put in the coordinates for teleportation and before anyone else could protest, the teleportation light. Ashley gasped when the light released her.

They were standing in the middle of a forest in front of an arched gate. It was about four meters wide and stood wide open. It lead into an alley of about fifteen meters long. Beyond the alley was a field of grass with on the other side a building with double doors, also standing wide open.

In the middle of the grass field stood a beautiful fountain. Following the lead of the Karovan rangers, she walked through the gate and the once on the field she looked around.

They were in some kind of courtyard, that was in the middle of a circular building, or rather, a circle of seven buildings, with an alley no more than two meters wide between them.

The building facing the entry gate was the biggest and on either side of it were three smaller buildings, all the same size, coming together at the gate. The six smaller buildings all looked the same, except for the colour of the front doors.

Suddenly a small girl about six years old came running out of the open doors of the biggest building. Her hair was brown with red highlights and probably reached her waist, bright blue eyes shone with mirth.

"You came!" She yelled happily.

"Of course we came, Karly. How could we say no to you?" Dawn replied.

Instead of running to Eyn, she ran right into Dawn's arms.

"Ashley! Missed you." She said, wrapping her arms around Dawn's neck.

"Missed you too, twerp." Dawn replied. "And would you mind calling me Dawn for a while."

Karlesha's eyes drifted past Dawn to Ashley and they widened, her mouth dropping open. Dawn laughed and ruffled the girl's hair.

"Tell you later, okay?"

Karlesha nodded, still staring and Ashley smiled. The girl was unbelievably cute.
