Disclaimer: Sorry, I don't own the Power Rangers.

A/N: I've chosen to continue this...obviously

"Raven," Lothor said as she stepped onto the Bridge, "you were speaking with one of those Rangers yesterday."

"I wanted to see the enemy in his native environment," Raven replied. She ran a hand over her hair, pushing the new streak of purple out of her eyes. "He's an idiot, and way too nice for his own good. I can take him easily."

"I don't want you leaving the ship, Raven," Lothor replied.

"I'm a big girl," Raven said, "I can take care of myself." She crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her head, "You were the one who sent me to Aurin, remember? You made sure I trained at the academy there instead of ENS."

"Raven, I know you think you know about Rangers because of the Aurin Rangers," Lothor said, "but for whatever reason these three are defending him. There is no telling what they have been told about us or what they will do. You are my daughter and if any of them find that out there is no telling what they would do. There have been Dark Rangers in the past."

"But, Dad," Raven said, "There's no way they'd know about me. It's not as if I tell people I'm Lothor's daughter. I'm not stupid. Besides, Earth's more interesting than up here. Down there, I don't have to listen to Mara and Kapri!"

Lothor closed his eyes behind his mask and then looked around, "Zurgane, you have the com."

"Yes sir!" Zurgane said.

Raven looked at him and made a face. "Raven," Lothor said. Raven looked at him quickly, "Walk with me please." He rose from his throne.

"What do you need?" Raven asked as she let him steer her off the bridge.

"Raven, I have plans for Earth," Lothor said, he glanced at the decking as he tucked his arms behind his back, "big plans. I need to know that I have people I can trust." He glanced over at her, but looked away after a moment.

"Of course you can trust me," Raven said, "you're my dad." She smiled when he looked at her. "I wouldn't be here without you."

Lothor's eyes trailed down to look at Raven's neck where the scar that served as a visible reminder of their past had formed. "Yes, but we are here because of my brother." Lothor replied.

"I'm not him," Raven said, "I know you, father, better than anyone except mom."

"There is one thing you can do to prove to me that I can trust you," Lothor said.

"What's that?" Raven asked stopping and turning to look at her father.

"Go into the chamber behind you," Lothor said softly. "Prove to me that there is one person in this galaxy that I can trust utterly."

Raven nodded slightly, "All right, dad." She smiled, "I'll go in." She turned and found the door behind her open so she walked in. There was a five sided chamber in the room and Raven cast one last look over her shoulder before she stepped inside.

The door to the chamber slid shut and Raven bit her lip, don't panic, she told herself firmly. Dad will let you out soon. Its ok, you can breathe.

The lights went out and Raven began to breathe faster. "Begin," a computerized voice announced.

Begin what? Raven wondered. Then she screamed as beams of light came out of the walls and touched her head, causing waves of pain to fill her. Voices whispered just below the threshold of sound and the lights began to move over her body. She clamped her hands to her head and started to sink to the ground. Mercifully, she was unconscious by the time she collapsed.
