Chapter 7: Not Andros

Selena stood up in shock when she saw that her father was truly alive. However, he was different, he had changed.

His eyes were a deep red instead of the beautiful brown. He had a scar going down his right eye as well as another scar that went from his temple to his chin. Instead of wearing his Space Uniform, he was wearing black, all black.

Selena gasped. "Daddy! But…it can't be," she whispered.

"I'm Lord Dorjan, General Andros of KO-35 is dead," he snapped.

"No he's not, you're not dead, daddy," Selena insisted.

Dorjan glared at her and grabbed her by her throat. "Daddy, it's me, it's Lena. Little Lena! I'm your daughter," she insisted.

"No, you're not," he snapped.

"Daddy, I know you can hear me. Answer me daddy! It's me Lena!" She gasped.

Artemis snapped out of his trance and he ran over to save his sister from the man that possessed their father. Selena fell to the ground holding her throat and Artemis helped her stand. "What have you done with our father, Dorjan?" He demanded.

"Andros is gone. My old body was damaged because of your father. So I used his to gain my power back. Oh he's still here, but he's not coming out anytime soon," Dorjan answered.

"Let him go," Selena ordered.

"Not happening."

Artemis got his sister up from the ground. "We have to get out of here," he insisted.

"What about dad?" She asked.

"We'll find a way to get Dorjan out of him, but for now we have to get ourselves into safety," he replied.

Artemis picked his sister up and ran through the halls to get back to the Megaship. Then he teleported them both to the Megaship once they were out of the castle.

(Megaship)

Selena pushed Artemis away when he tried to look at her back. "It's not me that needs help, dad needs our help," she snapped. She smacked Artemis's hand away from her. "I can do this," she hissed. She started wrapping the bandages around herself. "Go find a way to get dad back," she ordered. Artemis sighed and left her alone. Once Selena wrapped the bandages around herself and she had her shirt back on, she went to contact her mother.

Selena sat in her quarters with her intercom on. "Mom, come in," she called. Ashley came on the screen.

"What is it, Selena?" She asked.

"Mom, we found dad," she replied.

She saw her mother's face grow pale. "You did?" She asked.

"Yes, but mom, Dorjan's possessed him. It's not dad. Dorjan's got a hold of his mind. Something about daddy damaging him that made him possess daddy," she informed.

Ashley rubbed her forehead. "We're trying to find a way to free him," Selena added.

"Just be careful, bring your father home," Ashley answered.

"I know and we will."

"I love you baby."

"I love you too mom."

Selena hung up and let out a sigh.

(KO-35)

Ashley took a deep breath and pushed her hair out of her eyes. "Mommy, what's wrong?" Solana asked. Ashley kneeled in front of her daughter.

"Honey, I have to go somewhere for a few days okay? Go get your brother and I'll have Uncle Leo come pick you up," she replied.

"Okay," Solana replied.

Ashley stood up and watched her go. She bit her lip and closed her eyes. Tears threatened to fall down her face. After Selena's call about Andros being possessed by Dorjan, she felt like breaking into tears. However, she was going to be strong and she wasn't going to let Dorjan keep Andros's body as his own and to keep her husband locked up in his mind. "I'm not going to let that happen," she mumbled.

After a few minutes, Leo came over and handed Ashley something. "You sure you want to do this?" He asked. Ashley took a deep breath and nodded.

"Yes, I have to do this," she replied.

Leo then took something out of his pocket. It looked like a vaccine. "This is the one way you can get rid of Dorjan without hurting Andros," he informed.

"Thank you, Leo," she told him.

Karone who was behind Leo walked over and hugged Ashley. "Just bring him home," Karone whispered.

"I will," Ashley answered.

Ashley then stood in front of her kids. "Apollo, Solana, I want you two to go with your aunt and uncle. I have to go help your brother and sister," she informed. Apollo and Solana hugged her tight. "I love you two so much," she whispered.

"We love you too, mom," they answered in unison.

Ashley let her children go before leaving. She found the second shuttle that was built ten years ago, Andros's design. She got on the ship and went to find her kids and her husband.

(Dorjan's Castle)

Dorjan was sitting in his thrown when he suddenly felt a sharp pain go through his head. "How dare you attack my family. My children," Andros hissed.

"Shut up, General, you have no control over what's going to happen," he sneered.

"To hell I don't. You kill my children and I will be sure to kill you."

"Remember, Andros. This is your body and if you try to hurt me, I can just as easily kill us both."

"No you wouldn't. Because then your plan will fail."

(Megaship)

Selena took a deep breath as she went onto the bridge. "Ready to go?" She asked. Artemis nodded.

"Lena, you know that even though it looks like dad, it isn't," he reminded.

"I know, but we have to at least try to save him."

"And we'll try but it depends on what's going to happen when we fight Dorjan."

Selena nodded her head slowly. "We have to try, for mom," she added. Selena strapped her morpher around her wrist and Artemis placed the ring on the control panel before they left to try to defeat Dorjan and to save their father.

(The New Ship)

Ashley looked at her ring as she flew the ship. "I'm coming Andros," she whispered.
