Ch. 30 Beginning of the End

Almost eleven months had passed and today was the sextuplets first birthday. They had already began crawling and were starting to wobble around the Megaship. Andros and Ashley had been happy that there had been no more attempts to kidnap their children, although the attacks on Earth were becoming more and more frequent.

They were all gathered in the park where the sextuplets were beginning to tear into their many presents, with the help of the adult holding them. They had decided to get at least two of each thing that way there wouldn't be as many fights over the toys and so far it was working. After all the presents were opened and the wrapping paper was discarded, it was time for cake. Ashley cut the pieces as small as she could for the sextuplets but they still found away to make a huge mess. When it was all said and done the babies all had icing all over their faces and were sleeping peacefully in their highchairs while the rangers were busy cleaning up. Suddenly, am explosion caught their attention. It was in downtown Angel Groove.

"Ashley, you, Cestra, Michelle, and Aidan take the babies back to the ship," he ordered and Ashley knew not to argue. Like her, Andros was stubborn and she knew how far she could push him. After they were gone Andros and the remaining rangers rushed to the battleground. When they arrived Darkonda, Ecliptor, and a group of monsters were terrorizing innocent civilians. "Leave them alone!" All the evil creatures turned towards the cry, pushed back as several blast hit them. When the rangers got a good look at the monsters they realized that they were the monsters that they had beaten along the past several months. "What's wrong Ecliptor? Can't find any more monsters that want us to beat them?"

"Red Ranger, I can promise you that you won't beat them as easily this time," Ecliptor answered, anger clear in his voice. With that the monsters charged at the rangers and Ecliptor and Darkonda took on Andros. Once they had successfully separated him from the group they began attacking him in unison. Andros was able to deflect their first few hits but after that they overwhelmed him and he found himself lying on the ground.

Meanwhile, Ashley and his siblings were watching the battle from the safety of the Megaship. Ashley started to go but Aidan and Cestra stopped him.

"You need to stay here," Aidan stated. "We'll go down and help him." Before she could argue they were gone. Michelle sat beside her, shaking slightly, obviously afraid of what might happen to her siblings especially since they weren't rangers.

Ashley pulled the little girl into her arms and rocked her, like she rocked her own, whispering, "They'll be alright."

Down on Earth the rangers were having several problems with the monsters they were fighting. It seemed as though they were now invulnerable to all their weapons. (Like the episode with Horror Bull.) As hard as they tried they were getting beat and they knew it.

"DECA," Zhane began, "do you have any new weapons that we can use?"

"Yes," the AI answered, "but they have yet to be tested."

"I don't care, DECA!" Zhane yelled. "Just send them down here!" DECA did as she was told although her best judgement was telling her it was a mistake. The new weapon was like nothing Zhane had ever seen but he saved his curiosity until later. They all gathered around the huge gun-like structure and picked it up. "Alright guys, let's see what this baby can do!" They fired at the group of monsters surprised when the blast not only took out the monster they had aimed at but all of them. While the other rangers were celebrating, both Darkonda and Ecliptor stood over Andros prepared to administer the killing blow but as their swords came down something stopped them. They turned to see Aidan and Cestra standing behind them.

A/N: I know it's short but I'm, getting towards the end and I don't want to give it all away yet. There will probably be a sequel but I'm not sure when it will be up. Please Review!
