Chapter 14: Together Again, but Evil is Watching

Ashley was sitting next to Andros's bed with her hands clasped in her lap. Zhane came in and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, did Ms. F figure something out yet?" He asked.

"No, not yet. As long as he sleeps we're okay. If he wakes up, then we're in trouble," she replied.

"Hey," he murmured.

Ashley looked at him. "He's going to be okay. We'll find away to break this spell and he and Karone will be with us again," he assured her. Ashley nodded before getting up. Just as she was about to leave, Ms. Fairweather entered the room.

"I figured out how to defeat the spell," she informed.

"That's great, how?" Ashley asked.

"You have to destroy the monster that put the spell on them."

Ashley sat down again. "How can we destroy Evil Doer without getting zapped ourselves?" Zhane asked.

"I'm trying to figure that part out," she replied.

"He won't put the spell on us," Ashley murmured.

"How do you know?" Zhane asked.

"Because Evil Doer was only programmed to put the spell on Karone and Andros," Ashley replied.

"Why would they only program the monster for one spell?" Ms. Fairweather asked.

"Because she was only after Andros and Karone," Zhane replied.

"Exactly," Ashley agreed.

Just then, the alarms went off and they ran towards the bridge.

"Evil Doer is attacking the city," Captain Mitchell informed. Ashley watched as the monster attacked the town.

"We better get going," Carter informed.

They nodded and ran towards the jeep.

When they arrived at the city, Evil Doer was shooting red beams at the buildings. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Chad yelled. Evil Doer turned around to look at them.

"Hello, Power Rangers, let me give you a gift from Queen Zafina and Lady Vypra," Evil Doer laughed.

They fell back when they were hit with his beams. "Ashley, are you okay?" Zhane asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," she replied.

Zhane stood her up and they knew that it was time to defeat this monster. "Carter, let Ashley and me handle this," he insisted. Then batlings and mutants appeared.

"Right, we'll take care of these guys," Carter acknowledged.

Then he and the rest of the Lightspeed Rangers ran to fight the mutants and batlings. "All right, are you ready, Ash?" He asked.

"You bet on it," she replied.

Zhane nodded before grabbing her arms. "Let's go for a spin," he suggested.

"You've said it," she agreed.

Zhane then spun her around and then he let her hands go, making her hit Evil Doer. "You're going to pay for that, Yellow Ranger," Evil Doer snapped. Ashley did a sweep kick knocking Evil Doer to the ground. Ashley screamed when the monster pinned her down with his foot.

"ANDROS! HELP ME!" Ashley screamed.

Andros's eyes snapped open and he began struggling against his binds. Ms. Fairweather came running in. "Ashley," he whispered.

Ashley cried out in pain when she felt pain go through her back. Zhane then knocked the monster away from Ashley before destroying him with the blaster. "Ashley, are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine," she replied.

She got up and saw that the monster was destroyed. Carter and the rest of the Rangers joined them. "We should get back to the base," Carter insisted. They nodded before getting in the jeep.

They walked onto the bridge and the Captain greeted them. "Wonderful work, all of you," he complimented.

"Thank you," the told him in unison.

Ms. Fairweather then entered the room. "Ashley, Zhane, I have a surprise for you," she announced. Ashley gasped when Andros stood there with a grin.

He was wearing sneakers, blue jeans, a red t-shirt, and he was wearing the Lightspeed Rescue jacket, and his hair was pulled back in a half-ponytail.

"Andros!" She gasped. She ran over and jumped into his arms. Andros spun her around once with a smile on his face. Karone smiled and ran to Zhane. Zhane held her close with a sigh. Everyone clapped at the reunions in front of them. Zhane let Karone go and went down on one knee.

"Karone, I may have asked you once before, but you threw the ring back at my face. Will you marry me?" He asked.

"Yes," she replied.

Andros smiled at his friend and sister before looking at Ashley. "Welcome home, Andros," she greeted.

"It's great to be home, Ash," he assured her.

Then he kissed her.

Zafina wanted to scream, but she just slammed her staff to the floor. "NO!" She roared. Diabolico walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down, Lady Zafina, we will soon have revenge on the Power Rangers for taking your love away from you," he assured her.

"We better, Diabolico. I will not let the Power Rangers get away with this," she snapped.
