Chapter 6: Their Last Night Together

A month had passed and Zafina kept sending monsters every other week. Andros and Ashley had been trying to have their private time together. Ashley wanted to kick Zafina into a whole new galaxy when she saw the way she was touching Andros. Andros was her husband, not Zafina's husband.

One evening, Andros was working hard to find Zafina when Ashley came in. She walked over and wrapped her arms around him. "Andros, come to bed," she insisted.

"I can't, I have to finish these read-outs from the main computer," he stated.

"You haven't spent anytime with this new bride since Zafina hasn't attacked in two weeks."

"Well, this new husband has to keep Zafina from getting Karone."

"Don't worry about Karone's safety. She's going to be just fine. Zhane's protecting her."

"That's what I'm afraid of."

Ashley swatted his shoulder and pulled Andros out of the chair. "Come on, we need little bit of time for us before another attack," she stated. Andros sighed and looked at DECA.

"DECA, keep watch for any of Zafina's monsters," he instructed.

"Acknowledged," DECA assured.

Zafina was sitting in her throne and watched as the young couple went into their quarters. She watched as they shared a kiss before he opened the door. Ashley walked in first then all she could see was her arms coming out from the room and dragging Andros in by his jacket. "The young so much in love married couple," she mumbled in a sarcastic tone. She then switched scenes to Zhane and Karone's bedroom to see the two of them fast asleep. "Not married, but yet still share the same bed," she observed. She then turned to Hendrix. "I am going to bed. Keep an eye on those rangers," she instructed. Hendrix bowed to her.

"As you wish, milady," he acknowledged.

Zafina went off to her room while Hendrix kept watch over the Power Rangers.

Ashley was awake with her head on Andros's chest. Andros was holding her hand and stroked her hair. "Andros," she whispered.

"Hmm," he answered.

"What do you think will happen to us?" She asked.

"Well, once Zafina is gone, we'll be able to move on with our lives. Finally get a nicer house than that dump we're living in now. Maybe we'll have a kid or two."

"Really?"

Andros looked down at her with a smile. "Really," he assured her. They shared a kiss before falling asleep.

Zafina came out of her room the next morning. "I have to get rid of that Yellow Ranger," she hissed.

"How will we do that, my queen?" He asked.

"I don't know yet," she hissed.

She sat down in her throne and then she remembered a conversation she had with Astronema/Karone one day.

(Flashback)

"Greetings, Astronema, what new evil have you brought on the Power Rangers?" Zafina asked. Astronema turned around and smiled at her friend.

"I have made the perfect plan, Zafina. I have created a monster. This monster will have me switch places with a ranger. I could capture the rest of the rangers, but then destroy the Red Ranger," Astronema explained.

"Excellent, which Power Ranger do you wish to disguise yourself as?"

Astronema looked at the screen to see Ashley. "How about the Yellow Ranger? She is the Red Ranger's great weakness," she replied.

"A wonderful idea," Zafina agreed.

"That's it," she whispered. Hendrix looked at his queen.

"What's it, my queen?" He asked.

"Capture the Yellow Ranger, Hendrix. Use your power of invisibility and capture her. Bring her to me. I will useher to get our princess back. I will have his sister back as Astronema in no time and he'll be my king."

"Yes, my queen."

"Hendrix, make sure she can't contact Andros in anyway. I am aware of their communicating devices. Remove her communicator and her morpher. Give her morpher to me and that necklace. Those will be returned to the Red Ranger."

"Your wish is my command, my queen."

"Good, wait for my command to attack."

"Yes, my queen."

Zafina laughed evilly as she looked at her crystal ball. "Now, Ashley, your beloved Andros will be with me soon enough," she laughed.
