jenny: I thought about drawing out the mind control part but it comes back into play in a couple of chapters so I had to end it really quick.
Piper xox Leo: Glad you liked it.
Arwennicole: Sorry for the long wait. Here's more.
Phantom Rogue: Again sorry for the wait. I may bring Bulk and Skull into this a little later on but not right now.
SpookyandLumpy: I konw it was rushed but I kind of needed it to be to make the impact that I needed.
Disclaimer: As much as I would like for it to be, Power Rangers is not my creation.
Ch. 16 Taking Back Control Part 1
"Dark Specter, we have been waiting for you to arrive," one of the cloaked individuals, the man, stated. "What has became of Astronama?"
"She has gone to the side of good," Dark Specter answered. "I thought you said you had gotten rid of all the reminders of her past. Why did you leave the necklace?"
"We apologize greatly for our mistake, Dark Specter," the woman finally spoke up. "We just wanted her to have something familiar with her."
"All we want is for her to rejoin us on the side of evil," the man stated.
" That is fine, Vulcan, but you must hurry before the Power becomes to strong for us to control," Dark Specter answered as he began to fade away. "You better have Astronama back on the Dark Fortress in two days."
"Petra," Vulcan began, "pack up the ship. It's time for a little family reunion."
Meanwhile, the rangers were on Earth, enjoying a sunny day at the park. There hadn't been any attacks in a couple weeks and they were taking advantage of their free time. They knew that Dark Specter was planning something big and they thought that they were ready. Andros and Ashley were sitting under a tree on a blanket simply enjoying each other's company while the others were busy playing a game of frisbee. Suddenly, their communicators sounded.
"What is it, DECA?" Andros asked, immediately going into leader mode.
"Your parent's ship is also orbiting around Earth," she answered, concern in her voice. "Do you wish for me to leave Earth's orbit?"
"No, DECA," Andros answered cooly, "we'll be right there." His team immediately gathered around him and in a flash of several magnificent colors they were gone. When they landed on the Megaship Andros asked, "Who all is on the ship?" He was concerned that his entire family was on the ship because it was close to Michelle's birthday and he knew his parents wouldn't want to miss it.
"Aidan, Cestra, Michelle, your mother, and your father," DECA answered. She had been around for his parents' 'visits' for the past eleven years and knew that this one would either be very light or even worst than the one the rangers had previously witnessed. Andros sat down in his chair and put his head in his hands.
"What am I going to do?" he asked no one in particular.
"Who are the other three people?" Cassie asked. By the look on Ashley's face the other rangers could tell that she already knew the answer.
"Aidan's my older brother, Cestra's my older sister, and Michelle's my younger sister," he explained. "Since they're with them this might go better than the last time you met them, or it may be worse."
"What can we do to help?" T.J. asked, trying to take some of the pressure of their already stressed leader.
"Actually, I have no idea," Andros answered honestly. "I can't even tell you why they're here in the first place. Unless..." His mind finally did the math. The day Karone was kidnaped his father had left early that morning saying that he had some business to take care of and his mother had told him later that Duncan had returned only minutes before they had. Then, it hadn't been until he had joined the rangers that his mother had turned against them and he was starting to believe that both of them, or at least his mother, had been turned to the side of evil.
"Unless what?" Ashley questioned, stepping closer to Andros as his face paled.
"They're working for Dark Specter," Andros answered before he passed out.
A/N: Sorry it's been so long but I just started college and it's been a little hectic.
