RANGER COMMAND CENTER

The trio of rangers powered down revealing their apprearences fully for the very first time since they had arrived on the planet.

Ashley had black and silver striped hair, her mother's skin tone with her father's red on black eyes. Her clothing was strange - black cargo-like pants, a skin-tight hot-pink t-shirt, which was partially covered with a baggy black tunic. Her only jewerly was a pink gemstone around her neck and her pink astro morpher on her wrist.

Zana, was wearing the same type of clothes-the only difference was that her shirt was yellow. Her hair was dyed yellow/blue, while her eyes were an impossible green. She wore a yellow gemstone around her neck and her yellow astro morpher was on her left wrist.

Zekk was wearing black cargo-like pants and agreen t-shirt, he wore a black jacket over it. He had brown/blonde striped hair. He also wore a green gemstone around his neck and held the red astro morpher in his hand.

"O'my god," whispered TJ as he glanced between Andros and what could only be his son.

"Impossible," Zhane stated.

"Freaky," Tren supplied.

"Who are you?" demanded Andros as he stared into a pair of familiar eyes.

"My name is Zekk, and this is my twin sister Zana," he stated while motioning toward the yellow astro ranger. "Our mother was an old teammate of yours from the former astro power ranger team, Ashley Hammond."

"Andros," whispered Zhane as he realized what the teen was getting to. But was it possible?

"It's impossible," he stated quietly as he glanced wildly between the two power rangers. "I never...we never...how!"

"Gee Andros do you need to have the talk about the birds and the bees?" joked TJ as he gently squeezed his daughter's shoulder in silent support.

Andros squeezed his eyes closed and muttered what sounded like 'enough' and stormed out of the room.

"Andros," Zhane quickly followed his friend and former leader into the enclosed garden that was located in the center of the ranger compound. "What's going on?"

"Zhane I can't be his, her's theirs," his voiced trailed off as he foresaw the impossible task of explaining to his best friend that he had never..."

"Why not?"

"Because I never slept with Ashley!"

BOOM

"What the?" Zhane stated as they turned as one and saw Chaotic approaching them silently, while holding a broad sword in one hand and carrying a spiral device that was flashing with a brillent white light.

When Chaotic spoke it was with a computerized voice-as though he was trying to hide his idenity. "I shall end this era of peace and light; by stopping you red power ranger from destroying the darkness!"

Andros could hear Zhane calling his name as he blacked out and vanished into a flash of white light along with Chaotic.
