Chapter 12 – In Space

XXX

The rangers were on their way to help Zordon when they were trapped by another ship. It pulled them in and they were trapped. They got out of the ship and Emma stopped immediately.

"Em, what's wrong?" Carlos asked as she just looked around and mumbled something under her breath. They walked around a ship when they ran into a ranger. Emma stepped behind Carlos as the ranger attacked them. She finally stepped out and the ranger stopped automatically.

"Emma?" He asked and she nodded. He pulled off his helmet to reveal long brown and blond hair. She smiled and rushed to hug him.

"How is this possible?" He asked

"I don't know," She said as she continued to hug him until Carlos interrupted.

"Excuse me but you know each other?" He asked

"Yeah we have known each other for a few years now," Emma said as she walked back to Carlos and they all headed to the control chamber.

"Andros?" Emma asked as he turned to her

"Yeah?" He asked

"Um, one where is it and tow how is he?" She asked and everyone looked confused but he just smiled.

"Here," He said handing her a morpher and then his smile faded. "He is um Not doing well," He said and she looked like she was about to cry.

"And the other?" She asked

"Um, well, um," He started to say but could not bring himself to say it.

"Spit it out," She said starting to yell.

"It is well, worse then the other," He said and she almost started to cry as he took her in his arms and hugged her as tears started to stream down her face. Everyone wanted to do something but they did not know what was going on.

"Well let's get ready," She said as the other were handed morphers and showed to their rooms.

"Emma walked into the engine room and entered a secret hatch behind one of the walls. She walked in and started to cry. She was there for a good hour and then was able to pull herself together and walk out of the room.

XXX – three months later

Cassie and Ashley were in the engine room with the others when a door opened up and they all walked in. They saw two capsules One had a silver ranger in it and the other was multicolored. They looked at each other but no one spoke. Suddenly Cassie was able to break the silence.

"Who are they?" She asked and right then Andros and Emma walked in. Emma was not able to hold back tears as she walked over to the capsule with the silver ranger in it and kissed it and then walked over to the other one and darkened the tint on the capsule so she could not see it and then walked back over to Andros and rested her head on his shoulder that had gotten Carlos extremely upset.

"His name is Zhane," Andros said and Emma turned her head into his shoulder and started to cry again as he pulled her closer to him and let her weep while he continued.

"Who is he?" Ashley asked.

"He's the silver ranger," He said as Emma continued to cry and he tried to calm her.

"Who is the other one?" Carlos asked and Emma finally just ran out and Andros tried to grab her arm but she ran out to fast and he did not want to chase her she needed a moment.

"That's….That's um," he started to stay but could not say it and he also started to tear up.

"Andros who is it?" Carlos asked getting angry.

"I am so sorry but I, I just can't say it," He said and then a beeping sound broke the acquired silence as Andros' head snapped towards one of the monitors as the jagged line collapsed into a straight line and Andros rushed to the monitor.

"Ashley go get Alpha, Carlos go find Emma and hurry," Andros yelled as the two hesitated but did what he said. Ashley came back a moment later with Alpha as they began to work on the one capsule holding the multicolored ranger. Carlos came back carrying Emma in his arms.

"Oh God," He said as he and Alpha worked faster but nothing happened.

"Open it," T.J. yelled

"No it it'll kill her," Andros said

"Her? You mean that Emma is that ranger in there? But how" Carlos asked

"Yes," Andros said letting his head droop for a moment and then he looked back up.

"Andros, I don't think that that is such a bad idea," Alpha said and he shot the robot a look and it looked back to the wires.

"Alpha I can't it will crush him is she dies," He said looking to Zhane and back to Emma.

"Wait, I'm confused," Cassie said and Andros ignored her and walked over to Carlos who was still holding Emma.

"No," Carlos said and Andros nodded signaling it was alright and he took Emma into his own arms and signaled for Alpha to open the capsule. They did not have much time. Andros laid Emma down on top of the multicolored ranger and the body's joined immediately. Right as that happened Andros closed the capsule and the straight line shot back up to signal that she was alive.

"Wait what happens to Emma now?" Carlos asked

"We wait, she heals and hopefully wakes up," Andros said and he walked out.

XXX – One week later

The rangers were in the middle of a fight when the door to the ship opened and a ranger walked out. It fought with them and when they had won it powered down. It reveled a tall blond haired man with a face like an angel. He looked around and spotted Andros. He gave his friend a hug and then his face got serious.

"Where is she?" He asked in a tone that could have been either anger or hate.

"Still were she was left," he said and Zhane ran into the ship and to the chamber where he had just came.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" He yelled as Andros walked in to see his best friend on the floor next to Emma crying more then any one would have expected.

"She'll be fine," Andros said pulling Zhane out of the room with the help of Carlos and T.J.

XXX – One more week later

"Zhane?" Andros asked as he walked into his room to see that he was not there. He walked into the chamber where Emma was and Zhane was there hugging someone and sobbing. They both stood up to reveal Emma, as cheerful as usual and smiled at Andros and gave him a hug and turned back to Zhane smiled and kissed him. They both walked out and he took Emma to her room and helped her fall asleep to regain all of her strength.
