Ch. 4 Reunion

As soon as they left the Surf Spot Andros immediately tried to contact Zhane both by ways of his communicator and mentally. When Zhane wouldn't answer either the panic began to build in his stomach. What if something had happened? There were too many bystanders on board that could have been hurt, most of them children. Giving into the panic he began using their telepathic connection to locate his children. Closing his eyes he pushed the teleport button on his communicator, hoping that everyone on the Megaship was okay. Ashley had retained enough common sense to ensure that all the other rangers with them were also teleported. When they arrived on the Bridge Zhane was playing with all the children while all the moms looked on and laughed.

"Why didn't you answer?" was the first thing Andros asked, walking across the room and pulling his friend up by his shirt. Ashley and Karone were at his side in an instant, trying to get Andros to let go.

"Dark Specter has jammed our communications," Zhane answered, absently fixing his shirt, "and I couldn't get through to you telepathically. I heard you but I couldn't answer."

"Daddy?" Brytan questioned, pulling at his father's pants. When Andros looked down he asked, "Why mad at Zhane?" Andros sighed and picked up his son as his other children gathered around.

"I was just afraid something had happened to you guys," he replied. "I shouldn't have gotten so upset."

"It okay," Holly whispered as she hugged his leg. He squatted down to their level and pulled his six oldest children into his arms.

"Where are the other two?" he asked suddenly, only to find Ashley holding them. "Okay, since everyone is safe we have to come up with a plan. I'm not going to lose this time around." Everyone nodded in agreement and headed to the Observation Deck so they could talk while the children played.

After several minutes of discussion Tommy interrupted, "We need to find Zordon. He has to know what we have to do to win." They all looked to Karone knowing that she was the best to ask about his location.

"The last time he was moved it was to the Dark Fortress," Karone answered. "I wouldn't be surprised if he is still there."

"Karone and I will go to the Dark Fortress," Andros stated. "The rest of you try to hold them off as long as you can." He then turned to Ashley. "I know this is a lot for e to ask of you but will you please stay here just in case the ship is attacked." Ashley only nodded as tears formed in her eyes. Andros wrapped his arms around her and held her while she cried.

"Be careful," she whispered, once her tears had slowed. "I'm not going to raise these kids alone and we sure don't want Zhane to." Andros laughed and pulled her into one last hug before going to say good bye to his children.

"No go, Daddy," Zeri cried, clinging to her father's leg.

"I have to Zeri," he replied, pulling them all into a hug. "I'll be back soon." He waved to them all as he and Karone teleported to the coordinates DECA had for the Dark Fortress.

They materialized in what use to be Karone's sleeping quarters, luckily without being detected. It wasn't long before a couple of Quantrons came walking by the door. When their backs were turned towards them Andros and Karone quickly ambushed them and took their armor. Andros followed Karone through the many twist and turns in the Dark Fortress, knowing that she was doing her best to keep them undetected. It wasn't long before they were standing in front of a large gate that led into a rather large room.

"Damn it! They blocked out my codes!" She yelled, slamming her hand into the keypad. She quickly tried Ecliptor's which was also blocked and then Darkonda's that finally worked. The siblings quickly moved into the room, scanning it for Zordon. They spotted him in the furthest corner and began to move towards him.

Suddenly, an invisible wall emerged and a dark voice growled, "At last I will have my revenge!"
