Chapter 22: Ambassador Andros of KO-35

Andros took a deep breath as he got ready for his big speech in front of KO-35. Ashley came in and saw that her husband was nervous. "You okay?" She asked. Andros took a deep breath.

"It depends on what you mean "okay". I feel like I'm going up against Dark Specter's entire army again," he replied.

Ashley wrapped her arms around him and kissed the side of his head. "You're going to do great," she assured him. Andros nodded and placed his hands over hers.

"Things are happening…so fast," he murmured.

Ashley sighed and nodded. "Everything has to change," she answered. Andros nodded before looking pulling her into his arms.

"I just want you to be happy, Ash," he murmured.

Ashley nodded as she hugged him. Just then, Asta came in. "Andros, they're waiting," she informed. Andros nodded before following Asta to announce his title.

Once Andros came up to the podium there. "I am honored to take my place as your Ambassador. Ambassador Alejandro was a close friend of mine and he will be missed dearly. However, we know he would want us to all move on with our lives than keep mourning the loss of our old Ambassador. The year before that, we lost someone who was also close to us, Aiko. They will always be remembered, but I do bring news of happiness. When Aiko was alive, her mission was the same as mine. We were going to try and find our sisters and bring them home to our families. When Aiko died, I took her mission and promised to finish her mission for her. I have in fact found my sister, Karone, and I have found Aiko's sister, Astera. In fact, Astera was raised on Earth during the past eighteen years of her life and last year, she had taken Aiko's place as the Yellow Space Ranger. Our Lady Astera has returned and she has become my wife, Ashley Hammond of Earth," Andros announced. Everyone started whispering when they remembered the twin sister that disappeared eighteen years ago, but when Ashley came out, the whole city cheered. Andros wrapped his arm around her and Ashley wrapped her arms around his waist. Ashley took a deep breath as she began to speak.

"I am Astera daughter of Alejandro and daughter of Franklin Hammond. I never regretted my life being raised on Earth. I do regret not knowing who my sister was. I regret not knowing who my birthfather was. Even though, I am now happy to be married to our new Ambassador and I will take my place by his side," she explained.

Everyone cheered at her words and Andros kissed the side of her head.

Later that day, Alpha contacted them and they went towards the Megaship on Terra Venture.

When they arrived, Alpha turned and looked at them. "What's going on, Alpha?" Ashley asked. Alpha walked over towards them with a box in his hand. Andros took the box and opened it.

"Our Space Morphers!" Ashley gasped.

"I was able to repair your old morphers just incase," Alpha informed.

"Thanks, Alpha," Cassie told the robot.

"Just doing my job," Alpha answered.

Andros looked at his morphed and looked at his friends. "We should lock these up, unless we ever need them again," he informed. They nodded in agreement before following Andros to a vault.

Andros opened the vault and handed the morphers to the proper Ranger. Then they walkd into the vault and placed their morphers in there. Andros put in the code and closed the door. Andros wrapped his arm around Ashley's waist and kissed the side of her head. "Let's go home," he murmured. Ashley nodded before following Andros back to KO-35.

(Two Months Later)

Andros was looking over some things when he felt that something was wrong…again. Just then, Karone came in. "Karone, what's going on?" He asked.

"Andros, I just received word from Tommy that he needs your help," Karone replied.

Andros stood up. "What does he need help with?" He asked.

"The Machine Empire is returning," she replied.

Andros sat down and rubbed his forehead. "The Generals are preparing to leave," she informed. Andros nodded and stood up.

"I have to get over there," he informed.

Ashley came in when Andros mentioned about going after the keycards. "Andros, no," Ashley objected. Andros looked over at his wife when she walked over to him. "We just got everything put back together. You can't leave now," she begged. Andros walked over and placed his hands on her face.

"Don't worry, I promise this will be my last mission," he assured her.

He kissed her forehead before kissing her lips. Ashley kissed him back and touched his face, her finger trailing down the scar over his eye once again. Andros held onto her hand and let out a sigh.

"Everything's going to be okay," he assured her. Then he let her hand go and walked out of his office.

Andros walked into his and Ashley's home and went straight towards the trunk near the end of their bed. He opened the trunk and pulled out his old cloak. Andros stood up and pulled the cloak on when Ashley came in. "I can't stop you from going…but I can't help but worry about you," she informed. Andros nodded before pulling her into a hug.

"Everything's going to be okay after all this, I promise you that," he murmured.

Tears threatened to fall down Ashley's face as she hugged Andros tight. "Just promise me you won't leave me," she insisted. Andros pulled back and touched her face.

"I won't leave you," he vowed.

Andros then pulled her into a kiss to seal his promise.

Andros pulled on his hood and had everything set for his last mission as a Ranger.

When he arrived on the planet, he saw the ship. He followed the generals around for a few years and once he found what they were planning, he pulled his hood down. "It's worse than I thought, they're almost finished digging it out," he murmured. Andros was about to get up and leave when he knocked rocks down.

"STOP!" The general shouted.

Andros ran as fast as he could away from the generals that were chasing him. "GALAXY GLIDER HANG TEN!" He shouted. Andros did a front flip and landed on his Galaxy Glider just in time to escape. Now, all he had to do was contact all the Red Rangers to help him with this problem.
