Andros' Daughter

Disclaimer: Don't own the Power Rangers. Just Eris and her friends!

Summary: It's seventeen years after the Countdown to Destruction and the rangers get together for a reunion and they bring their families. Eris Morana Yanisin is Andros and Ashley's first born child. And their daughter. Very slight Ashley bashing, more Andros bashing. R&R for me please!

AN: Wow. Eight reviews! That's a record for me! Heeheehee!

Last time

Eris got up and said her usual, emotionless, face in place. "I need to go see how the search is going." Then she left Cami and Violca sitting on her bed.

Now...

Chapter Seven- Confronted. Again. On a Larger Scale.

Tommy, Kim, Jason, Trini, Billy, Kat, Zach, Adam, Tanya, Rocky, Aisha, and Justin watched as Eris left and TJ lead them all (the Original Power Rangers), plus Andros, Ashley, Cassie, Carlos, Zhane, and Karone, into a conference room. TJ asked, looking at Andros and Ashley.

"Explain."

Ashley sighed. "I guess it's best to start at the beginning."

Jason shrugged. "It does help."

Ashley sighed and said, unable to look at her friends. "It started a little more than sixteen years ago..."

Flashback

Ashley could hardly believe it. She looked down at the stick and at the results Cassie had given her. Slowly, a smile spread across her face. She placed a hand on her lower abdomen and smiled as she thought about the tiny life that was beginning to grow within her.

Ashley set the results aside and went to tell Andros. She found him sitting with Karone and Zhane. Karone and Zhane had gotten married a little over two months ago, four months after Ashley and Andros had gotten married.

Ashley walked onto the Simudeck and said, glowing with happiness. "Andros, could I talk to you for a second?"

Andros nodded. "Sure." They went into the hall and Ashley said, unable to contain her excitement any longer.

"We're having a baby!"

Andros was stunned. "Really?"

Ashley nodded. "Yes! We're going to have a baby!" Andros picked her up and swung her around in a circle.

"We're going to be parents!" Andros set her down and placed his hand on her still flat lower abdomen. He asked, looking at her. "Will we be good parents?"

Ashley smiled and replied. "We'll be great parents."

Andros smiled and said, kneeling in front of Ashley and speaking to her belly. "Be a good boy for Mommy."

Ashley raised an eyebrow. "Boy? It could be a girl."

Andros smiled and said, kissing Ashley. "I don't care what the sex is as long as he or she is healthy."

End Flashback

TJ nodded. "So everything started out like we saw it. So what changed?"

Ashley and Andros looked at each other before Zhane stepped in. "What changed was that Andros and Ashley realized their baby would be the heir to his morpher, so they decided they wanted a boy." Zhane smiled a little at this. "The baby's nursery was decked in red, I kid you not. Everything, except the crib, the rug, the shelves, the closet door, and the changing table, were red."

Kim asked, a little shocked. "Even the toys?"

Karone nodded, smiling softly. "Even the toys."

Cassie was confused. "So what-"

"Changed?" Karone asked. The rangers nodded and Karone replied, sighing. "Elektra's birth."

Flashback

Ashley Karova, the former Yellow Space Ranger and wife of Andros, the Red Space Ranger, was in labor with her and Andros' first child. She and Andros both had a feeling it would be a son that would be born to them. They had picked the name Alexandre, defender of man. They hadn't even considered a girl's name because they felt that it was a boy. They were wrong.

Ashley's doctor, Mayarrah, said, smiling at Ashley. "One last, push, Ashley, then you have your baby!"

Andros sat behind Ashley and she pushed. Mayarrah smiled and when they heard their baby cry, she said, shocking them. "It's a girl!"


Andros asked, blinking. "A girl?"

Mayarrah nodded and asked, smiling at Andros. "A beautiful baby girl. Care to cut the umbilical cord, Dad?"

Andros walked over and stared down at his daughter. She stared back at him with his chocolate brown eyes. Andros took the scissors and cut the umbilical cord.

Mayarrah placed the baby girl on Ashley's stomach and Ashley saw that their daughter was going to be her father's daughter. Ashley asked, once everyone had left and their daughter was wrapped in a red blanket.

"What should her name be? We can't very well name her Alexandre."

Andros looked down at his daughter and replied, disappointment appearing not only in his face, but in Ashley's. They had both been set on having a son who would inherit Andros' morpher. "Eris Morana Yanisin."

Ashley nodded, knowing full well what those names meant. Eris meant Strife, Morana meant death, and Yanisin meant ashamed.

End Flashback

Zach asked, trying to wrap his head around this story. "So wait. Let me get this straight." He said, looking at Andros and Ashley. "At first, all you two wanted was a healthy baby, not caring as to what the sex was. Then you decide that, 'oh, we need a boy because the baby's going to be heir to Andros' morpher' so you don't even consider a girl's name, then when you have a daughter, you name her STRIFE, DEATH, AND ASHAMED?!"

Andros glared at the man before him. "Yes. It should be Alexandre who wears my red Astro morpher. Not Eris."

Billy asked slowly, dumbfounded by the two rangers sitting in front of him. "So you're saying that it should be a man who's the Red Space Ranger, not a girl."

Ashley sighed and said, looking at her predecessors. "It's not just that she's a girl, it's just that men are better suited to handle the duties of Red Ranger than girls are."

"So you two are second guessing my judgment, Andros and Ashley?" The rangers looked up to see and old man standing in a dark crimson robe.

Zhane and Andros stood at attention and said at the same time. "Commander Kinwon!"

Zhane asked, once Commander Kinwon had released them. "What are you doing here, Commander?"

Kinwon replied, looking straight at Andros. "I've come to help out our ranger team by bringing files on Lamia that our network of spies have collected on her in the last year." He looked deeply disappointed. "Andros, I will be seeing you on the Bridge with the other rangers. Immediately." His tone brooked no room for argument.

Andros nodded. "Yes Commander." Kinwon nodded and left.

Zhane looked at Andros. "Now you've done it."

Andros looked at Zhane like he had lost his mind. "What? What are you talking about?"

"You know, for being as smart as you are, you sure are stupid sometimes. You've pissed off Kinwon." Zhane punched him in the arm. "You don't second guess the Commander. Surely you know that by now." Andros glared and the nineteen of them left for the bridge.

The six Space Rangers were all standing at ease while Kinwon paced in front of them. He saw them and said, pointing to chairs.

"Sit." The rangers in the room found seats and sat down. Kinwon paced for a minute, collecting his thoughts. He looked at Andros and asked, barely controlled fury on his face. "What gives you the right to second guess my judgment? While Elektra, Torin, Violca, Faolan, Cami, and Nic were at the Karovan Ranger Academy, I watched ever ranger trainee there, not just the six behind me. I watched them all for the qualities I knew would be needed for the six rangers who took on the power of the Astro Morphers.

"When it came down to who had the qualities that would be needed in the next rangers, these six behind me had it! Elektra has all the qualities that you, yourself Andros, value in a leader. Why if I didn't have Tykwa with me every step of the way, I would have surely lost my mind by now thanks to all of the aggravating ranger wannabes who go around acting as if I would be lucky to have them as rangers." Kinwon's glare intensified. "You want to know why I didn't pick a male for the morpher? Why I didn't pick your son? Because your son lacks the qualities of a leader! Every team put together at the KRA was tested in a simulation and your son wasn't fit as leader! He fought well, but he didn't lead his team, the blue ranger-in-training led them.

"Elektra has your qualities but I'll be damned by Zordon before I let you alienate this girl anymore! Until you two," If looks could kill, Ashley and Andros would have been six feet under. "Show me that you can fully appreciate your daughter, she will no longer be referred to as Elektra, Daughter of Ashley and Andros. From now on, she is Elektra, Daughter of Zhane and Karone. IS THAT CLEAR?!" Ashley and Andros nodded and Kinwon said, looking at Andros. "I have never, in all my time as Commander on KO-35, been so ashamed of a former ranger. I have been angry, I have been mad, and I have been disappointed, but never, NEVER, have I been as ashamed of a ranger as I am of you, Andros. If your parents were alive they would undoubtedly be ashamed of how you are treating your former daughter and their granddaughter." Kinwon looked every bit his age at that moment. "I don't even recognize you. Not anymore." Then, he turned and Elektra asked, stepping forward.

"Permission to speak, sir."

Kinwon smiled gently at the girl he considered a granddaughter. "Permission granted, Elektra."

Elektra nodded and said, easing up. "Sir, we would be honored if you would stay here for the night before returning to KO-35. We have plenty of room."

"Thank you, Elektra, but I must get going. I had to leave an older trainee in charge because Tykwa is on urgent business to Eltar. Something about one of her cousins making one of their experiments explode and green goop flying everywhere..." Elektra, Faolan, Cami, Torin, Violca, and Nic looked at each other before they burst out laughing. Kinwon left, a smile on his face.
