Zhane walked into the control deck with Emma early in the morning. They were both happy laughing and talking. Everyone around them was happy that things were getting better. Nothing could have been more perfect.

"What are we going to do?" Ashley asked Andros as they were all sitting around a dying fire on Earth while it was under attack.

"We have to fight, there is nothing else we can do," Emma said

"If I can get to my sister," Andros started but the others broke in.

"Face It she is not your sister anymore, they changed her, "T.J. said and Andros walked away leaving the others to plan. Ashley followed him and tried to stop him but he left anyway and she returned to the team.

"STOP!!!" Emma and T.J. yelled right as Asronama was going to destroy all of the people.

"We are the Power Rangers," Emma said as they all morphed and jumped down starting to fight. They were loosing right as the people started to fight with them. Then every bad guy disappeared and the ship landed. Andros walked out carrying Astronama who a few seconds later turned into Karone.

"Where's Zhane?" Emma asked just noticing that he was gone.

"I don't know, he was here a few minutes ago," T.J. said as Emma turned around to see Bulk carrying someone in his arms and then Emma realized that the blond haired man was Zhane.

"ZHANE!!!" She yelled as she ran to Bulk and looked at the man in his arms. Bulk laid Zhane on the ground in front of her and she fell to the floor crying. "Please, Zhane, Please wake up," She said still crying as she shook his one arm. "Please, Please,"

"Emma, I am so sorry, but Zhane's dead," Carlos said as she looked up to realize that he was holding Zhanes wrist in his hand and then gently put it down. "He has no pulse. I am so sorry," He said as he got up and walked over to her and pulled her against his chest and let her cry in his arms. "I am so sorry," He said gently rocking her.

"He can't be gone, he can't be," She cried.

"I know but there is nothing we can do," Carlos said as she began to cry even herder.

"I know," She said as tears streamed down her face and she rested her head on Carlos' chest and cried. Trying to let his slow heartbeat relax her like Zhanes had so many times before but it didn't work.

"Come on we should take him to the ship maybe Alpha can help, like I did before by freezing him, that saved both your lives, maybe we can do it again," Andros said as she just nodded and Carlos helped her up and walked her to the ship.

"I can try to freeze him again it might bring him back to life and fully heal him but that can take years, if ever," Alpha said to Andros and he nodded.

"We have to try," He said as he placed Zhane back into the chamber and closed it.

"Emma, I heard what happened and I am so sorry," Tommy said walking into her dorm room later that week.

"I know, I think that it was for the best, I mean, I don't know what I mean," She said and smiled a bit when he walked over to her bed where she was lying and hugged her then got up and started to walk out. "Don't go, Tommy you're my best friend, I need you right now, can you just stay here with me?" She asked and he smiled.

"Of course," He said as he walked over to her bed lied down next to her and let her rest her head on his chest as he placed on hand on her back and stroked her long brown hair with the other. A while later, Emma's phone rang and Tommy answered it since she had fallen asleep a while earlier.

"Emma?" The person asked.

"No Alpha, it's Tommy, but this is Emma's phone, she's sleeping can I take a message?" He asked

"Yes, Tell Emma that there is a new team of rangers that will be forming and they might need her. Can you have her come to the mega ship later so I can get her ready incase they need her?" Alpha asked

"Sure, thanks, bye," He said as he hung up and placed the phone on the night stand. He looked back to Emma who was sleeping with her head on his chest and he smiled. Something has changed. They way he looked at her now, it was like she was a whole new person. At that moment he knew that he was in love with Emma. He didn't know why but something about her changed and she was different.
