Lightning Crashes
by Dana

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
"Circle of Life"-By Elton John from the movie The Lion King

Dallas hummed as she walked into the room she shared with Alexis. She blushed when she saw who was in the room. Alexis and Roland were kissing. "I'm sorry I'll leave right now." She said and started backing out of the room.

"No wait Dallas. This is your room I'll go." Roland said. He glanced at Alexis again before leaving the room with a smile on his face.

Dallas watched him leave then turned to Alexis. "Okay girl spill it."

"Spill what?" Alexis asked with a sly grin.

"You know what. It's not every day I walk in and find you and Roland kissing you know."

"It just happened so suddenly. He leaned over and kissed me. He, being the shy guy that we all know, apologized right away. Then well you saw the last part." Alexis said sighing happily. She reached for one of her pillows and propped up her ankle.

"I had no idea you two had gotten so serious. It was just earlier that you and he went to that movie together. Wow."

"I know." She said dreamily.

Dallas eyed Alexis's ankle. "Not meaning to change the subject but what happened to your ankle?"

"Jimanya told me it's sprained. I have to stay off of it for a day. I injured it when I was flung back into those bushes during the fight. I told Roland I tripped over a Quanatron."

"Why did you tell him that?"

"Why not. I didn't want him to worry. I didn't want to be kept from fighting. Dal there already is two injured people. I didn't want to make the list three."

"That's stupid. Lex you could have really injured yourself. Not that a sprained ankle isn't bad or anything but you know what I mean."

"Yeah I do. So I just sit out for a day. It can't be too bad right?"

~*~

"I can show you how bad it can be Comet Ranger." Astronema said turning away from her viewer. She had been able to place a hidden camera on the Talorn. Astronema surveyed her troops. "Darkonda, and Elgar. You and the Quanatrons will go down and fight the Defenders and Rangers."

Elgar interrupted her. "Isn't it awfully dark on Earth at this time?"

"All the more reason to attack stupid." She answered him. Elgar nodded. Then he, and Darkonda teleported down to Earth with the Quanatrons.

"What about me my princess?" Ecliptor asked.

"You and I are going to the Talorn to pay the three injured rangers a visit." She said with a laugh.

~*~

Dallas's communicator sounded. "This is Dallas."

"Dallas it's Zhane. Astronema has sent down Darkonda, Elgar, and Quanatrons to Earth. You and Alexis need to come to the Control Room right now!"

"I'll be right there Zhane." She said and signed off. She looked over at Alexis who was struggling to stand up. "No way Alexis! You heard Jimanya. You need to stay off your ankle."

"But Dallas you guys will need me."

"We won't need you if you're injured. Stay in here." She said and hurried out of the room.

Alexis sighed and lay back down on her bed.

~*~

When Dallas arrived in the Control Room she noticed that the able fighters were all morphed and waiting.

"Where's Alexis?" Jason asked. Looking around for the Comet Ranger.

"She hurt her ankle. Jimanya told her to stay off of it. So I told her to stay in the room." Dallas informed him. "It's Morphin Time!"

"Sun Power!" She called.

When the others were all down on Earth, Alexis decided; if she couldn't fight that she should at least give Jimanya a hand in the infirmary. She took the easy way and teleported. She landed and made sure to land on her uninjured ankle.

Jimanya turned around and quickly pushed a chair towards Alexis. Alexis smiled at her gratefully before she sat down. "I wanted to see if you needed help with anything." Alexis said.

"Thanks Alexis. Could you hold this for me?" She asked holding up a scanner. "I know it must be hard having to stay back here while the others are fighting."

Alexis took it. "Yeah it is hard. I want to be down there helping."

There was an all too familiar flash of light. Which set the ship's alarms off. Astronema, Ecliptor, and Quanatrons were standing there.

"What do you want Astronema?" Jimanya asked.

"I came to finish what I said I would. Nice to see Andros and Tommy are in plain sight this time."

"You won't get to either of them Astronema." Jimanya said.

"I may not be able to touch you Jimanya but I will get what I came for." She turned to Alexis pretending she hadn't seen her before. "Why Alexis! I didn't even see you at first. Are you too afraid to fight Elgar and Darkonda?"

Alexis stood on both feet and ignored the pain that was registering. "You aren't going to take anyone Astronema."

Andros who had come to noticed that everyone's attentions were diverted away from him but towards Astronema. He decided he should call for help with his communicator. 'Have to stay conscious.' Andros silently said. He whispered into his communicator "Zhane?"

Unfortunately Astronema heard the soft murmur and turned around quickly. "Trying to get help Andros?" She asked. "It won't work."

Andros decided lying on a monitoring table might not be the safest thing for him. He slowly got up. Jimanya shook her head at him as if to say don't. When he got to a standing position he almost toppled over. Jimanya reached out and grabbed his arm to hold him steady.

"I am so scared aren't you Ecliptor?" Astronema asked. "Let me see. Andros has to be held up. Tommy is still comatose. Jimanya can't fight. And Alexis can barely stand. Do you honestly think you will be able to beat us?" She signaled for the Quanatrons to attack. Andros made an attempt at fighting but that didn't last long. Alexis tried to kick one but ended up putting all of her weight on her injured ankle. Astronema laughed watching this. "Just give up." She taunted.

Before any of them could make a retort, a flash of light hit Astronema, Ecliptor, and the Quanatrons. And they were gone. Andros fell to his knees. Alexis sat down on Andros's monitoring table and looked up at Jimanya expectantly.

"I stopped trying to figure out what Tommy's doing while in that coma a long time ago. That was energy Tommy sent." Jimanya said answering the unasked question. "Why or how he's doing it I don't know. I've never seen it before." Jimanya bent down to help Andros into a chair.

"Does that mean he's on the verge of coming out of the coma?" Andros asked.

"I really don't know Andros. I've seen him fend off an attack that was in him. Here let me make sure you didn't injure yourself." Jimanya said picking up the scanner. "Not that bad. Stop getting up and you'll start heeling." Jimanya said with a smile. "Your turn Alexis." Alexis protested when Jimanya came to her with a scanner. "No buts Alexis." She scanned the ankle and shook her head. "This is why I said stay off of it. I'll get you some crutches."

"Jimanya you're kidding right?" She asked hopefully.

"I kid you not. Here put this on your ankle." Jimanya instructed handing her an ice pack. "I guess the bright side is you didn't break it." She said with a smile. "Now lie down on the..." She paused realizing there wasn't another monitoring table upright. "Hmm. Well just a second Alexis while I pull up another monitoring table for you to lie on. I swear you guys need a doctor around here not me."

~*~

While this was going on, the fight on Earth was going strong. Elgar and Darkonda weren't winning but it was a little easier than it was before. The Defenders and Rangers were down another one. It also was almost midnight on Earth. Darkonda was fighting Zhane, Roland and TJ. "Come on." Darkonda taunted.

Roland hit Darkonda and watched as Zhane jumped and kicked Darkonda. Zhane heard a soft sound like his communicator going off, which made him jump. He reached to answer it but saw Darkonda was back up and giving TJ a hard time. 'I guess that will have to wait.' He thought. As Zhane was helping TJ he suddenly realized Roland wasn't around. 'Roland, where did you go?' Zhane sent. But he didn't get an answer. Maybe it was so dark he just didn't see Roland when he looked. Then again it could have been Astronema. 'She couldn't have! Could she?'

Darkonda also noticed Roland wasn't around. "Did the Solar Ranger get scared and run away?" Darkonda taunted. "I always knew Roland was a coward. Speaking of Roland, where's Alexis? Did she turn chicken also? Or are they-" He was interrupted by Zhane who shot him with his blaster. "Hey!" Darkonda fell backwards and struggled to his feet. "I take it you're impatient." He paused as if getting some sort of message. "I have to go. Well continue this fight later." He said and disappeared along with Elgar and the Quanatrons.

The others ran to Zhane. "Hey guys do you know where Roland is?"

"Sure Zhane." Ashley said turning around. "He's right there." She said pointing at the Defender in white who was behind everyone else. Zhane gave a sigh of relief.

"Sorry I went to give the others a hand. I hate fighting in the dark. You can't see anything very well. Maybe Alexis and I should build in some device in our helmets in case we have to fight this late at night again." Roland suggested.

"Let's go back up to the ship." Dallas suggested. The others agreed and teleported up. They powered down immediately.

"I'm going to go make sure Astronema didn't try anything again while we were on Earth." Zhane said and hurried down the corridor. The others were right behind them. When he got to the room he was shocked at the sight of the room. "Jimanya what happened?"

"Astronema was here. Don't worry we're all fine. Alexis injured her ankle worse but if she keeps off it for a couple of days she'll be fine. Andros if fine and Tommy well he gave some help. Can't really explain what he did right at the moment though. I swear though, could you please stop injuring yourselves? It would make my job easier."

Roland leaned down and looked at Alexis. Alexis saw something in his eyes that scared her and she couldn't figure out why.

~*~

The real Roland sat in a cell in Astronema's ship. During the battle someone grabbed him from behind and teleported him away. He caught a glimpse of someone that looked exactly like him. He was thrown into the cell and hadn't seen anyone since then. 'Oh Lex I hope you're all right. If that thing touches her he'll pay.' Roland swore. Roland sighed as he thought of the woman who he loved for so long being near a monster that was pretending to be him. Roland sent a silent prayer for Alexis's safety. He sent it along with a prayer for his friends. 'It's not me guys.' Roland closed his eyes. And dreamed.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you.
And I wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too.

Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight.
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight.
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be,
Than here in my room, dreaming about you and me.

Wonder if you ever see me,
And I wonder if you know I'm there.
If you looked in my eyes,
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

I just want to hold you close, but so far,
All I have are dreams of you.
So I wait for the day,
And the courage to say
How much I love you.

I'm dreaming of you tonight.
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight.
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be,
Than here in my room, dreaming about you and me

Ahh ahh, I can't stop dreaming of you.
I can't stop dreaming.
I can't stop dreaming of you.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping,
I stay up and think of you.
And I still can't believe,
That you came up to me and said,
I love you. I love you too.

Back on the Talorn Dallas was helping Alexis to lay down. "Dallas?" Alexis asked.

"Yeah Alexis?"

"Did you notice anything different about Roland?"

"No. Why?"

"There was something different in his eyes. It scared me Dal."

"Maybe I'll ask Jimanya to scan Roland tomorrow morning. To make sure there is no abnormalities with him. Just go to sleep Alexis." Dallas said hopping in the top bunk.

Alexis lay on her bed worried. 'Why would Roland scare me? I thought I loved him. I shouldn't be afraid of him. Should I? Maybe I should go talk to him.' She thought and grabbed her crutches. She looked at Dallas, who had just fallen asleep, before hobbling out the door.

~*~

'Roland' walked into the room that the real Roland and Zhane shared. Zhane had said he wanted to talk to Jimanya about something. He looked around to make sure no one could hear him. "Come in Astronema." He said into the communicator.

"I'm here. Are you on the ship?"

"Affirmative. I think Alexis suspects something's wrong. For two people that proclaimed they loved each other she seemed scared around me. What should I do?"

'She's injured right?' Came the voice through the communicator.

"On crutches actually."

'Then she shouldn't be of any trouble to you. Now don't mess this up!'

Alexis stood just outside of the door and heard everything. 'I knew something wasn't right! That's not Roland. I'll go get the others.' She hobbled down the hallway but something caught one of her crutches and she went tumbling to the ground. 'Roland' was in the doorway immediately.

"Need a hand Alexis?" He asked.

"Stay away from me or I'll scream."

"I don't think you will do that. I take it you heard everything." Alexis just glared at him from her position on the floor. 'Roland' lowered his voice and continued. "If you don't come in this room right now I will contact Astronema right now and tell her to kill Roland. It's up to you Alexis." He reached down to help her back up. This time Alexis let him help her up.

"That's better. Now what do I do with you? I could kill you now but that would look kind of suspicious. I know of a better idea." He pointed a device at her and she disappeared.

Zhane walked into the room a few minutes later. "Hey you going to go to sleep Roland?"

"I was just about to."

"Is that Alexis's bracelet on the floor out there?" Zhane asked walking to the hall and picked it up.

"I don't know I can't tell. Maybe it fell off when she was headed back to her room." 'Roland' suggested.

"Probably. Night Roland."

~*~

"He can't do anything right!" Astronema fumed. Alexis, whose crutches were taken away from her, sat on the ground glaring at Astronema. Astronema spoke to Alexis this time. "Now see if you had behaved and not have figured out that he was a double, you wouldn't be in this position."

Petra and Jet appeared in the throne room. "Astronema I thought Alexis was freed from that spell by Roland." Jet said to his daughter.

"She was. But; the brat figured out my fake Roland was an impostor so he sent her here. She's got a sprained ankle so she won't be too much of a problem. But what to do with her is the problem."

"I presume the real Roland is here?" Petra asked.

"Of course. Where else would I put him?" Astronema asked.

"I guess all you can do is put them in the same cell. However I have a better idea for you then using Elgar as a jailer." Petra said and snapped her fingers. A monster appeared. "Use Fishtro. He won't fall for the tricks so easily as Elgar does. And make sure to keep Alexis's crutches away from her. Have you sent an impostor of her down yet?"

"I was just about to." Astronema said and began to raise her staff.

"I have an idea." Petra said and she changed her form. She turned and faced Alexis.

Alexis gasped as she realized it was like looking into a mirror. Fishtro bent down and slung Alexis over his shoulder. He walked down the cell at the bottom of the ship. He got to the cell and placed her on the ground and slammed the door shut. Alexis thought she heard a sound but it was too dark to see who was in the cell. "Who's there?" She asked.

"Alexis?" A voice that she wanted to hear answered her.

"Roland!"

~*~

Petra, in the form of Alexis, landed in the ship and looked around. 'Okay now where does Alexis sleep at?' She peered into one of the rooms and saw an empty bottom bunk with the Sun Ranger above it. 'This must be it.' She thought and lay down. She hadn't slept long before she heard voices in the hallway. Petra opened her eyes when she heard Dallas jump off her bunk.

"Get up Alexis. It's almost eight am." Dallas said.

'Oh yeah that's me.' "I'll be up in a second." She said mumbling into her pillow. 'Why do people insist on getting up so early?' She listened as Dallas walked out of the room. 'Might as well get up.' She stepped out of bed and then remembered Alexis had a sprained ankle. She got dressed and grabbed the crutches. She hobbled down to the dining area. "Morning." She said after entering the room.

"Morning sleepy head." Zhane joked. "We thought you were going to sleep the whole day."

'That sounds good right about now. No wait Alexis is a peppy kind of girl.' "Sorry I guess I was tired." Petra said.

"That's nothing to fret about." 'Roland' said eyeing her curiously. 'I know that's not Alexis but who is it?' He pushed his cereal out of the way and looked at Alexis. "You want to go for a walk." He asked.

Petra looked down at her foot. "Roland we'll have to go for a hobble and walk though. Sure I'd love too." She said and got up and hobbled out of the room behind 'Roland.'

Dallas sat there watching in wonderment. 'It was just last night that she was scared of Roland what's going on?'

"Those two look cute together." Ashley commented to the others. "How long have they been friends?"

"Since they were both six. That's as long as Dallas, Roland, Alexis and I have been friends for." Zhane answered her.

"It took them this long to figure out they had feelings for each other?" Carlos asked.

"Well Roland's pretty shy. It was also hard to date someone when you're running around trying to stop the Cyviens from destroying your planet." Dallas said.

~*~

'Roland' and Petra went to an area where they knew they couldn't be heard. "I know you're not really Alexis. Who are you? A Quanatron?"

"I don't think so. I'm Petra." She said glaring at him.

"I'm sorry my queen. I did not know it was you. Do you know the plan?" 'Roland' asked.

"Let's see if I understand it from the brief explanation Astronema gave me. We try to destroy the unity of the rangers and then go after Tommy and Andros. However, I object to the idea of hurting Andros. I'm sure you know why. He is my son."

"I understand. I'm sure Astronema knows you don't plan to get rid of Andros." 'Roland' paused when he heard footsteps approaching. "So anyway Alexis did you want to go see another movie tonight?" 'Roland said loudly to make sure that whoever was approaching wouldn't suspect anything.

"I'd love too." Petra shot 'Roland' a 'Let's not talk about this on the ship.' Look.

~*~

Jimanya leaned over and was examining Andros who was awake. "Can I get something to drink?" Andros asked his voice dry.

"Sure. Hold on and I'll go get you some."

Jimanya left the room, and Petra and 'Roland' entered the room. "Hey guys." Andros greeted them.

"Just came to see how you and Tommy were doing." Petra said and smiled. 'He doesn't look much better then before. Jeez Astronema is just like me. Won't stop until she gets the job done.'

"I heard you two are now a couple. That's great to hear. I always thought you two should get together." Andros said flinching when he felt a spasm of pain go through him.

"Are you all right Andros? Do you want me to go get Jimanya?" Petra asked becoming very concerned.

"No. I'll be fine. I guess I should relax and not strain myself. I hate lying here though." Andros answered her.

"Of course you do. Probably more then I hate being on these crutches." Petra answered him smiling.

"True." Andros said and was feeling himself losing a battle with consciousness again.

Petra watched as Andros passed out again. She walked over to Tommy, who was still deeply entrenched in the coma, and looked down at him. 'No one's looking. I could finish him off right now. They wouldn't suspect precious little Alexis of doing that.' Before she could do anything Jimanya walked back into the room.

"Hi Roland and Alexis. I see Andros passed out before I could give him some water. How's your ankle Alexis? Have you been staying off of it?" Jimanya asked looking closely at Petra.

"Yes." Petra said.

"Good. Would you like some pain medicine?"

"No I think I'm fine for the time being." 'I bet Alexis needs some right about now. Too bad!' Petra thought to herself.

"All right Alexis. Just let me know okay? How are you doing Roland?" She asked.

"Just fine. Alexis we're going to be late for the movie." 'Roland' said lightly nudging her.

"Oh right! We'll see you later Jimanya." Petra said and they left the room. "I better go change. See you down there." Petra walked into the room she shared with Dallas and quickly changed frowning at all the orange in Alexis's wardrobe. 'Guess it'll have to do. Though if I was it was I wearing this I'd look like a pumpkin. This girl has no fashion sense.' Petra teleported to Earth after she was finished changing.

'Roland' did his best not to laugh at the outfit his Princess's mother was wearing. The outfit comprised of a jeans skirt and an orange tank top. "So what do you think we should do? Divide and conquer?"

"We should turn them against each other. Get it to the point where no one trusts each other. Like divide and conquer but much different. But it will be hard to do since Jimanya's on the Talorn."

"Well you know we can't do anything to her. Dark Spectre had formed some sort of treaty with the planet of Edenoi that said we couldn't touch any of their people. Which goes double for crown princess's you know. Astronema is lucky that King Tork didn't do anything about her using the stun gun on Jimanya." Petra said sighing.

"How is it that the crown princes is a ranger? I would think she would be more concerned with her people then baby sitting two people." 'Roland' said.

"As far as I can tell she's pretty tough headed. She doesn't want to sit down and rule over her people. She wants to be like her younger brother Prince Dex. Go out and see the universe."

~*~

The next morning TJ was showing Zhane and Jason the recently rebuilt Angel Grove High School. "That's the cafeteria down there." He said pointing down the hall. "This place has really changed since my freshman year. I bet it looks a lot different to you too Jason. That earthquake really did damage." TJ said.

"It's a nice looking school. TJ where are the students?" Zhane asked.

"Um Zhane they are in class which is where I should be right about now!" The bell rang. The three of them jumped out of the way as students started pouring into the halls. "This is one reason you don't stand in front of a door when a bell rings. It's lunchtime right now. Do you guys want to eat in the cafeteria?"

"Sure." Zhane said. He heard a screech and saw a blur of red hair come running towards him. 'I didn't think anyone would recognize me. She must know Jason or TJ.' But no the young woman came running towards Zhane.

"Oh my God Zhane! I never thought I'd see you again, and definitely not here in Angel Grove." She said then gazed at the confused look on Zhane's face. "You don't recognize me do you? Maybe we should go outside to talk about it. No one here knows about it." She led them out the door. They found a quiet area under a tree and sat down. "I can't believe I recognized you! I had to be eight the last time I saw you. Wow."

"I'm sorry but I don't know you. Who are you?" Zhane asked.

"Zhane it's Sora. Dallas's sister."

"I remember you. You're on the cheerleader's squad right? But I thought your name was Sara." TJ asked.

"I am but that's not my real name. It's a long story."

Jason stood up. "I'm going to go find Dallas. She really needs to hear this."

Zhane nodded. "We'll wait for you guys to get here. See if you can find Roland and Alexis also."

"I should have known you all would be together. We all thought you guys were dead. It hurt my parents really bad when you four disappeared. So where have you guys been?"

Just then Dallas and Jason returned. But the others weren't looking in their direction. "Jason it is her. I thought my family was all dead after the destruction of KO-35. " Dallas said her eyes filling with tears. "Sora?" She asked quietly.

Sora turned around and her tears filled with tears also. "Dallas!" She got up and ran over to her older sister and embraced her.

"I thought you were dead!" They both said at the same time. They laughed and sat down.

"So what happened to you, mom and dad after KO-35 was destroyed?"

"We were able to leave the planet before it happened. We looked everywhere and couldn't find you. Carson, who's one of the leaders on KO-35, said; if we wanted to leave we had to go now! Mom and dad didn't want to leave you behind but they had no choice. We landed on Earth and have been here ever since. Where have you guys been? I presume Roland and Alexis are here also?"

"Of course. We all were ushered on another ship with another boy named Andros." Dallas said not sure whether or not to tell her about the fact that they were the Defenders and Rangers.

Zhane took charge. "Can you keep a secret Sora?" Sora nodded. "Do you remember that group on KO-35 called the Defenders?"

"Do I? That was the most talked about group on KO-35 and Earth!" Sora said then realized what he was talking about. "You guys are the Defenders aren't you?" Jason, Dallas, and Zhane nodded. "Let me guess you're a Ranger." She said looking directly at TJ.

"Pretty good assumption Sora. And very accurate." Dallas said. "I guess it's too early to go home isn't it?"

"Mom has the day off, I'll take you to go see her right now." Sora said. "You guys can come too." She said turning back around to face TJ, Zhane and Jason.

"No that's okay. We'll see you later okay Dallas?" TJ asked. Dallas nodded.

Dallas and Sora walked away from the others. "It's not very far from here." Sora said. "In fact here it is. Come on." She said and pulled Dallas to the door. Sora opened the door. "Mom are you here?"

"Sara! I didn't think you were coming home for lunch! I did make some soup for myself you are more then welcome to share it." A voice came from the kitchen.

"I brought someone here."

"That's fine I'll just throw in some more soup for them."

"Come on." Sora said. Dallas followed her into the kitchen. Mrs. Meyerson was bent over in front of the stove and didn't see them enter the room. "Mom?"

The woman looked up and said, "Hello. I'm-" She stopped. "No way. You, you look so much like someone I know." She stammered

"Mom?" Dallas said in a shaky voice as the tears that were threatening to fall finally did.

"Dallas?"

~*~

Alexis and Roland sat in the cell talking. They had taken turns the night before staying awake.

"Do you have any plans for escaping?" Roland asked.

"I don't know if I'll be much help considering the fact that I'm on crutches and my crutches were taken away. I wonder what our doubles are doing right about now? I still can't believe they made doubles of us. It wasn't planned for there to be a double of me. Alexis said.

"I know. This really stinks. At least we're together right?"

~*~

Tommy could hear voices more effectively this time. Before they had been so quiet you couldn't have heard them very well. He could definitely distinguish Jimanya's voice talking to Andros? He wasn't sure whom she was talking to. 'There's Jason.' Tommy thought with a smile. 'This is something different. He could almost hear the alarms going off. 'Great.' He felt himself slipping away and everything becoming brighter and brighter very slowly.

~*~

Andros looked around as the alarms were going off. "What's going on Jimanya?" He asked.

"I don't know. I'm presuming Astronema sent down another monster." Jimanya said.

Alexis hobbled into the room. "The others had to go. I was wondering if I could stay in here."

"Sure Alexis." Jimanya said distracted by something else.

~*~

'Roland' had turned around from fighting Elgar and raised his Astro Blaster. 'I don't care if the plan was to divide and conquer! I have a perfect shot at Zhane! I'm sure Astronema won't mind.' He fired but the shot never reached Zhane because a person reflected the shot. He couldn't see who it was because of the light.

Tommy slowly approached 'Roland'. He went inside of the mind of the Solar Ranger. 'Why would he attack Zhane?' He saw it wasn't really Roland but some Quanatron. He pulled on the Lightning Power and watched it hit 'Roland.' 'Roland' fell to the ground. Tommy started feeling extremely weak. 'Have to get out of here.' But everything blurred as he fell to the ground and into unconsciousness.

Zhane turned around and saw a person covered in light on the ground and 'Roland.' He ran away from Ecliptor to check on them. He was able to see the one covered in light well enough to determine it was Tommy. Zhane sent him back to the ship. He approached the other body and was able to see it was half 'Roland' half Quanatron. 'No way. Why do things like this have to happen? That means Roland was captured!'

The monsters left. "You guys we need to get back up to the ship now!" Zhane said and they teleported away.

~*~

Jimanya was inspecting Tommy. "Welcome back to the land of the living Tommy." She said quietly.

"Is he really awake from the coma?" Andros asked.

"I think so. I can't figure out why he's surrounded in light though. Maybe it's an after effect."

~*~

Astronema was mad. Beyond mad. The Quanatron had messed up a great plan. And now Tommy was back. "I couldn't have the worst help then I already do! That was a sure fire way!"

"We'll get them yet my Princess." Ecliptor said.

"That we will Ecliptor. That we will." Astronema said glancing down at Earth at Sora.

To be continued...

Well Tommy's awake, Astronema has Alexis and Roland, and Dallas found her family alive. And what's in the next chapter you may ask? I have no clue! I hope you all enjoyed this fanfic. Email me at Willow@grrtech.com with questions, comments, concerns, blah you know the rest.
