Chapter 13: Capturing Them
Ashley was walking around the Aqua-Base when Dana came up to her. "Ashley, we would like to see you at the main room," she informed.
"Okay," Ashley sighed.
Then they went towards the main room.
When they came in, they saw Zhane standing there. "What's going on?" Ashley asked.
"Well, we've done a lot of thinking and we have come to a very important decision," Kelsey started.
"And that important decision is," Dana stated.
"We'd like to make you both apart of the Lightspeed Rescue team," Carter finished.
Zhane and Ashley looked at each other in disbelief. Carter and Dana held up Lightspeed Rescue jackets with smiles on their faces. "That is if you want to be on our team," Ms. Fairweather stated.
"We'd love to," Ashley assured.
Then they placed the jackets over their shoulders. "There you are, perfect fit," Dana commented.
"Welcome to the team," Kelsey greeted.
Everyone clapped for the new team members on Lightspeed Rescue. Just then, the alarms went off. Captain Mitchell and Ms. Fairweather went to the computers to find Andros and Astronema attacking the city. "We're on our way," Carter assured him.
"Remember, don't destroy them. Capture them and bring them back here so Ms. Fairweather can try and figure out how to break the spell," Captain Mitchell reminded.
"Yes, sir," Carter acknowledged.
Then they ran to the jeep.
When they arrived at the city, Andros and Astronema stood there glaring at them. "Look who's here, my brother, your pretty little wife and my handsome ex-fiancé," she laughed. Andros grinned evilly as they got out of the jeep.
"I never realized that you enjoyed fighting with other pathetic rangers, Ashley," he taunted.
"Andros, you know that I'm you wife. Zafina has you under a spell. Let us help you and we can break her spell."
"Zafina is my love. She will soon rule this world along with Miranoi and KO-35."
"Andros, you know you don't want this to happen. Search your heart Andros."
"I don't think so. LET'S ROCKET!"
Andros morphed and got into a fighting stance. "Ready guys?" Carter asked.
"Ready," they replied.
"LET'S ROCKET!" Ashley and Zhane yelled.
"LIGHTSPEED RESCUE!" The Lightspeed Rangers yelled.
They morphed and started fighting mutants along with Vypra's batlings. "This can't be happening," Ashley murmured as she circled Andros.
"It is happening, my dear," Andros insisted.
"No," she whispered.
Andros threw the first punch only to have Ashley duck and do a sweep kick. She watched as Zhane fought Astronema before trying to capture Andros. "CARTER!" Ashley called. Carter finished fighting off the batlings and mutants that surrounded him and went to help Ashley. "We have to knock him unconscious somehow," she stated. Andros kicked her away and stood up.
"You'll never catch me," he laughed.
Just then, Kelsey hit Andros on the back of his head, knocking him unconscious. "Bingo," Kelsey laughed. Carter put Andros in the jeep before helping Zhane with Astronema. Zhane had a hold of her and finally knocked her unconscious. He carried her into the jeep and then Zafina and Vypra appeared.
"You'll all pay for capturing the future king and princess of the universe," Zafina hissed.
Then they disappeared again. "Let's hurry up and get back to the Aqua-Base, I know for sure that Vypra will try an attempt to capture them," Carter informed. Ashley and Zhane nodded before getting into the jeep. She held him close with tears in her eyes.
"Andros, please come back to me," she whispered.
Then they got back to the Aqua-Base. Ms. Fairweather led them towards an empty room with two beds. Carter placed Andros on one bed and Zhane placed Astronema on the other bed. They strapped them down and Ashley sat next to Andros. Tears fell down her face as she touched his face. "I love you, Andros, please come back to me," she whispered. She placed a kiss on his forehead before leaving to go see how Ms. Fairweather was doing with the tests.
Author's Note: After saving Andros and Karone, what do you think, should I keep them on Lightspeed or not. Just tell me. Review please.
