Chapter 41: Andros's Last Mission

Andros was watching Serpentera get dug out from the moon. He removed his hood and looked at them in disbelief. "It's worse than I thought. They've almost finished digging it out," he murmured. he got up and turned to leave when he knocked rocks down. He then knew that the generals saw him. He then started running to get out. "GALAXY GLIDER HANG TEN!" He shouted. He did a front flip as he morphed and landed on his Galaxy Glider.

When he got back to earth, he went straight towards Carter's house.

Carter was out in the front yard playing with his daughter, Danielle, when Andros arrived. "Andros, what's going on?" Carter asked.

"Carter, I need your help," he replied.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Tommy and I are on a special mission. We need you to go to Turtle Cove and get the Red Wild Force Ranger, Cole Evans. I'm going to get T. J.," Andros informed.

"Don't you think you should talk to Ashley about this?"

"She already knows that I'm on this mission."

"Yes, you've been gone a year and you're now coming here telling me that I have to just leave my wife, son, and daughter."

"Carter, you're my friend, I need your help."

Carter sighed and looked at his four-month-old daughter. He walked over and placed Danielle into Dana's arms. "I'll be back as soon as I can," he told her. He gave her a kiss and placed a kiss on the top of his daughter's head. He then picked up his son, Derek. "I love you all very much," he told them. He kissed Derek's forehead and then he went to get the Rescue Rover.

"I'll meet you at NASADA," Andros informed.

"Yeah," Carter agreed.

He looked back at Dana to see her carrying their twins back to the house. He sighed and then he left to get Cole while Andros went to get T. J. from New York.

Andros stood in the main hanger watching Carter enter the room with Cole in his truck. He saw Wes and Eric arrive. He looked down at his wedding ring with a sigh. He listened to Carter introduce each Ranger. "Wesley Collins, the Red Time Force Rangers, and this is Eric Myers, the Quantum Ranger. And that's the Turbo Ranger," Carter informed. T. J. got out of his car and walked over to them. "Theodore J. Jarvis Johnson," He added. T. J. chuckled as he shook their hands.

"Please, just call me T. J.," he insisted.

He then pointed towards Andros. "And that's Andros," he informed. Andros walked over to them.

"Glad you could join us all the way from Turtle Cove," Andros commented.

Cole shook his hand before saying something. "You guys are all Red Rangers, too? What's going on?" He asked.

"We were all assembled by a veteran Ranger, our leader for this mission," Andros replied.

"Leader?" Cole asked.

They looked over to see Tommy come in. Andros introduced his new Megaship and then he met the very first Red Ranger in history. When they got on the ship, Carter placed a hand on Andros's shoulder. "Once this is over, you'll be able to be with Ashley," he assured him.

"Yeah, how is Ashley and Aden?" He asked.

"They're both just fine. They miss you though," Carter replied.

"I have missed them every day during the past year."

Andros then went to contact Leo and Aurico. Andros then went to the meeting to inform Tommy that Leo and Aurico were going to come as soon as they could.

When they arrived on the moon, Andros started fighting cogs. He did a series of back flips and dodged a few attacks. He placed his hands on the bar in front of him and had his feet on the wall behind him. He flipped around and threw a cog over his shoulder. He looked over at Carter, who was blasting cogs away with his blaster. He ran over to his friend to help him out with the rest of the cogs. "Andros behind you," Carter warned. Andros spun around and found a cog behind him. He bent backwards and then he stood back up to kick the cog away. Carter ran over to him. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine," Andros replied.

Then he ran over towards Cole, who was just rescued by Leo and Aurico. "Leo, Aurico, you're just in time," he told them. Leo powered down before answering him.

"Andros we got here as soon as we could," Leo informed.

"Rangers, what ten Red Rangers?" General Venjix asked.

They all stood in a line then. "Well, what are we waiting for?" Jason asked.

"Let's do it guys," Tommy told them.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME! TYRANNOSAURS! MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGER!" Jason shouted.

"IT'S MORPHIN TIME! RED ZEO RANGER!" Tommy shouted.

"SHIFT INTO TURBO! RED TURBO RANGER!" T. J. shouted.

"LET'S ROCKET! RED SPACE RANGER!" Andros shouted.

"GO GALACTIC! RED GALAXY RANGER!" Leo shouted.

"LIGHTSPEED RESCUE! RED LIGHTSPEED RANGER!" Carter shouted.

"TIME FOR TIME FORCE! TIME FORCE!" Wes shouted.

"QUANTUM POWER! QUANTUM RANGER!" Eric shouted.

"WILD ACCESS! RED WILD FORCE RANGER!" Cole shouted.

"RED ALIEN RANGER!" Aurico shouted.

Then they started fighting against the generals. Andros did a flip when one of the generals shot at him and Carter. Carter shot at him with his blaster the same time Andros did. They hid behind two rocks. "You ready?" Carter asked.

"Ready. Let's do it," Andros replied.

As Carter came out from behind his rock, Andros did a front flip and landed on his knees. Carter jumped off his back and shot his blaster. Andros shot at him and then the general shot a blast at him and had him lose his balance, but Carter caught him by his wrist. Carter kicked the general away. Then both Lightspeed and Space blasters hit him and they watched him fall from the cliff. They ran over to see that the zord was back. "We have to get back to the Megaship. Come on," Jason insisted.

"There isn't time. We have to take out Serpentera before it leaves the moon," Carter objected.

"Then there's only one chance," Cole stated.

They watched as the Red Wild Force Ranger stepped forward. "WILD FORCE RIDER!" He shouted. Andros watched as Serpentera was finally destroyed.

When they got back on the Megaship, they all sat down and started having a conversation. "So, Carter, what's going to happen now that you're officially retired?" Leo asked.

"I'm going to be at home with Dana, Danielle, and Derek," Carter replied.

"Two kids already?" Wes asked.

"They're twins," Carter replied.

He then looked over at the two Time Force Rangers. "What about you two?" He asked.

"Well, Jen and I are going to make it official," Wes replied.

"Congratulations," Andros congratulated.

"Thanks," Wes laughed.

"What about you, Eric?" Andros asked.

"I sort of like that Yellow Wild Force Ranger," Eric replied.

"Taylor?" Cole asked.

"Is there another Yellow Wild Force Ranger I'm not aware of?" Eric asked.

Cole shrugged and then they looked at Andros. "What about you?" Tommy asked.

"I'm going to go home. I haven't seen Ashley or Aden in a year," Andros replied.

Carter patted his shoulder. "Ashley's sure going to be surprised when you come home," he stated.

"Yeah, tell me about it. What about you, Jason?" Andros asked.

"Well, I'm married to Kat and we're expecting our second kid," Jason replied.

"How about you, Tommy?" Eric asked.

"I'm marrying Kimberly," Tommy replied.

"Leo, we all know is married to Kendrix," T. J. stated.

"Yep, what about you, T. J.?" Leo asked.

"I've got a girlfriend. We just haven't tied the knot yet," T. J. replied.

Then Alpha came in. "Rangers, we're returning to Earth," he informed.

"Thanks, Alpha," Andros told him.

They stood up and walked off the ship once it landed.

Once they all said goodbye, Andros and Carter started laughing at Cole's comment. "What, what did I say?" Cole asked. After listening to some comments about why Tommy wasn't the "greatest" Ranger, Andros cut in.

"Hey, I saved two worlds, what about that?" Andros asked.

"Wait, wait, wait, did I ever tell you guys about the time I got backed into a giant pizza?" T. J. asked.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," they answered.

Andros and Carter got into the Rescue Rover and went back to Mariner Bay.

Carter came up to the house, and Andros saw his son playing in the front yard with his toy space ship. "Thanks, Carter," he told him.

"No problem, Andros," Carte assured him.

Andros got out of the car and walked over to Aden. "Aden," he called. The boy looked up and his eyes glowed.

"DADDY!" He exclaimed.

Andros was surprised that his son would remember him, being so young when he left. Aden was two now. He could tell he was smart. Andros put his son the ground and he ran inside. "MOMMY, MOMMY!" He called. Ashley came outside and gasped when she saw Andros standing there.

"Andros?" She asked.

"Hi, Ashley," he greeted.

"ANDROS!" She exclaimed.

She ran over and jumped into his arms. Andros held her to him and let her scent fill his nose. "I missed you so much," she whispered.

"I missed you too," he answered.

She touched his face with tears in her eyes. "Come on, I have something to show you," she told him. She brought Aden inside and held onto Andros's hand as they went inside.

They went upstairs and Andros saw that the nursery looked the same, but the color was different. It was pink instead of blue. A crib sat by the window. Ashley walked over and picked a baby up that was a year old. "Andros, meet your daughter, Abiona Agneta Karovan," she informed. Andros took his daughter into his arms in disbelief.

"She's beautiful," he murmured.

Abiona looked at her father and giggled as she touched his face. "How are Karone and Zhane?" He asked.

"Well, Zhane and Karone are proud parents to a beautiful boy they named Zaher," she replied.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yeah."

He looked at his daughter again before putting her back in her crib. Abiona gurgled at she grabbed his hand. "Dada," she giggled. Ashley gasped.

"Her first word," she whispered.

"What?" He asked.

"She just said "dada" that's her first word. I've been trying to get her to say something for weeks."

Andros smiled and looked down at his daughter before leaving as she fell asleep. "Daddy's little girl," Ashley commented. Andros smiled and wrapped an arm around his wife's waist as they left the room.

Three Years Later (Author's Note: I have an alternate ending, if you want to see it tell me and I'll put it up.)

Aden: 5

Abiona: 4

Ashley sat up in her hospital bed when Andros sat back next to her with their newborn daughter in her arms. Then he sat next to her with their daughter's twin brother. "Okay, you know that these two are our lasts babies right?" She asked.

"I kind of figured that," he replied.

He placed a kiss on her lips before looking over to see Aden and Abiona came in. "Come and take a look at your brother and sister," Ashley insisted. Abiona looked at her brother and sister.

"What are their names, mommy?" She asked.

The two looked at each other before answering. "Well, your sister's name is Annabelle Ariel Karovan. Your brother's name is Attis Alain Karovan," Ashley replied.

"Neat names," Aden stated.

Aden had chin-length brown hair, brown eyes, he was wearing sneakers, blue jeans, and a white t-shirt.

Abiona had shoulder-length brown hair with blonde streaks, brown eyes, she was wearing sandals, a white skirt, and a white blouse.

Andros smiled as he held his family. Everything was bumpy for the couple, but then it all came together at the end.

That night, Andros was holding his wife of six years of who he married when they were nineteen. They went on one last adventure together as Power Rangers, had Aden, had one last adventure together, he went off to watch General Venjix, and Abiona was born while he was gone. Now, he was with Ashley and they were with their four children with happiness in their hearts. Nothing could tear them apart.
