Ch. 17 Taking Back Control Part 2

Zhane rushed forward to catch his friend before he could hit the floor. With the help of Ashley they sat him in his chair. Ashley bent down beside him and tried to wake him up. As he began to come to, they all let out a sigh of relief.

"What happened?" Andros asked as he rubbed his head.

"You said something about your parents working for Dark Specter and then you passed out," Ashley explained gently, making sure to keep a firm grip on his arm.

Just as he was about to respond five teleportation beams appeared on the Bridge. As the beams dimmed five figures emerged, two of which the other rangers knew. Beside them was a man about half a foot taller than Andros with short, spiked hair, a woman about three inches taller than Andros, and a little girl who appeared to be about five or six. The little girl, Michelle, immediately ran over to Andros and jumped in his lap. He hugged his little sister but didn't miss the beams of hatred coming from both of his parents. Next, his older siblings, Aidan and Cestra came over and gave him a hug.

"It's going to be okay," Aidan whispered as he felt Andros shudder in his embrace. That seemed to calm him down. Before anything else could be said a new figure entered the Bridge.

"Karone?" Petra asked, trying her best to look stunned. Andros knew it was all an act and quickly positioned himself between his mother and his sister. "Get out of my way!" She shoved him to the ground and quickly grabbed Karone. Before anyone could react Duncan was at her side and they teleported back to their ship.

"We have to get her back!" Andros yelled as he pushed himself off the floor. They could all tell he was very close to hysteria and Aidan tried to calm him down.

"Hod on, Andros," he stated carefully. "What just happened?"

"Mom and Dad are working for Dark Specter and they got what they came for," he answered sadly.

"Why would they want Karone?" Cestra questioned.

"Because she used to be Astronama," Ashley stepped in, trying to give Andros some time to calm down.

"How did that happen?" Cestra asked as she placed Michelle in one of the chairs.

"I didn't figure it out until just before you guys showed up," he began. "Remember Mom told us that Dad had gotten home just a few minutes before us?" Both of his older siblings nodded.

"You mean, he had something to do with it?" Aidan was shocked. How could their father do something like that and then blame it on Andros. "Do you think Mom knew?"

"Not until after I became a ranger," his younger brother replied and everyone could tell he was beating himself up over what had just happened to their sister. "He must have told her after that because he knew that I wouldn't be around to tell her otherwise."

Hours passed and they couldn't find any trace of the other ship. Aidan and Cestra had forced both Andros and Michelle to go to bed because they both needed the rest. As the other rangers began to trust them more they began asking questions about their leader's childhood.

"Why didn't anyone do anything?" T.J. asked, not understanding how anyone could sit back and watch that happen to anyone they cared about.

"No one was able to stop him," Aidan answered simply. "He had to much power then and he still has it now. No one dared to contradict him even though they knew what was happening." Just as Ashley was about to ask something the alarms of the ship started going off. In seconds, Andros was on the Bridge carrying his little sister.

"What's going on?" he asked DECA as he handed Michelle to Cestra.

"Your parents, your sister, and a group calling themselves the Psycho Rangers are attacking Angel Grove," DECA replied.

"They've got her again," Andros whispered. He quickly pushed back his urge to mentally berate himself, knowing that innocent people were counting on the protection of the Power Rangers.
