Power Rangers In Space by Heather Ray (e book reader pc txt) 📖

How can I say this enough? Thank you to everyone that has kept up with all my books! You all are awesome! When I started adapting my fanfiction to these books, I was just doing it in order to introduce the Power Rangers to a new generation and to also help reluctant young readers to find a new love for reading. But I have found out that with each new book there is resounding success! Thank you all so much!

Rangers are Saban's. Song is Foreigner's but having a hard time finding it so using Mariah Carey's for the trailer. Oh yeah...wondering what trailer I'm talking about? Go to the youtube channel: Hraygurl

and you'll be able to see book trailers I've been creating advertising these books!

"By the Fates," she breathed, leaning her forehead against the cold, thick glass of the window, "I can see it..."

Moisture built in her eyes as the beautiful blue and green orb hovering in space grew larger. With each passing moment, the lush features of the planet grew clearer to her view. She could already make out the swirling clouds that floated carelessly through the atmosphere. Large oceans spread across the circumference, appearing calm and still due to distance.

While from afar the planet looked so vibrant and serene, a tear slid down her cheek as the truth stung her heart like a stab wound: the surface wasn't serene. It was recovering from the massive destruction that she

had caused.

She pressed her lips together to slow the trembling, and moved away from the window. She wrapped her arms around her slender body, as if by some miracle the gesture could warm the hollow cold that seeped into her heart. There was a pit there, sucking the life out of the young woman like a black hole. And just like a black hole, nothing could escape its pull.

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines,
In case I need it when I'm older

She could never escape the guilt. As the Megaship slowly approached Earth, the pain in her chest grew. It was only days ago that she was Astronema, the self-proclaimed Queen of the Universe. She had launched a devastating attack on all creation, commanding the alliance of evil that included the feared Machine Empire, Divatox, Rita, and Lord Zedd. She had organized an enormous invasion, intent upon crushing all resistance to her throne.

She was a hair's width from succeeding.

She had succeeded where so many before her failed. She had the Power Rangers on their knees. Not just the Power Rangers of Earth, but even Prince Trey of Triforia and the Aquitian Rangers. She had Zordon in her grasp, and she slowly drained away his life-force to augment her nigh-fathomless power. Earth became her stepping-stool, and thousands of Velocifighters buzzed through the sky, firing at anything and everything within range... whether or not it posed a threat. Swarms of Quantrons and Piranhatrons filled the streets of Angel Grove, the home and haven of the Power Rangers since the very beginning, and laid waste to corporate buildings, residential areas, parks, and schools without discrimination. Blazing fires lit up the night sky, and smoke clouded the sun's beaming gaze during the day.

She had humanity on its knees, and she wasn't about to show any mercy. For two cataclysmic days, the planet stared into the face of Armageddon. If it weren't for luck, primarily, Earth would've fallen victim to her elaborately-planned Countdown to Destruction. As Astronema, she was so close to annihilating mankind on a whim.

And now, she dared to go back to Earth as if nothing had ever happened.

Now this mountain I must climb,
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine,
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In all honesty, Karone had no desire to return to Earth. Almost immediately after Andros' love and Zordon's purifying stream had purged her of Dark Specter's wicked influence, the Space Rangers had traveled to KO-35, to assist the disparate colonies in the revival of their community. Karone couldn't express the joy she felt at seeing her home planet slowly thrive, reflecting the peaceful memories of childhood she managed to retain.

Things were different on KO-35. Astronema's icy reach never imposed upon that planet. No, Astronema had never even set foot on the planet until Andros coaxed her to go, in the hopes of reviving memories of her past. She had no part in the destruction of her native world, and most of the people had no knowledge of Astronema at all. To the people she encountered during their short stay, she was welcomed with open arms as Karone, the long-lost sister of the heroic Red Ranger and youngest child of an influential family. While she was saddened that she didn't get the chance to see her parents again, she was thrilled that she was able to contribute to the restoration of her planet.

With all the destruction she had caused in the universe, a bit of work restoring it was on the right path to making amends. Still, while she felt great joy at being amongst her people, free from judgement, she couldn't stay in that bliss. Instead, she was being forced to face her nightmare.

Going back to Earth.

Of course, it was her decision to join the others. She had intended to remain on KO-35 with Andros and Zhane, but it was very clear the moment the bay door closed that Andros could not be happy separated from Ashley Hammond by millions of miles. Their short acquaintance had somehow developed into a love so strong, Andros was willing to forsake the planet he had missed so dearly just to be with her.

It didn't take long for both herself and Zhane to realize that they would be incomplete without Andros, so hand in hand they boarded the Megaship behind him. And with smiles and warm hugs, the crew sped towards Earth.

For Karone, however, the smile was only skin deep... and as Earth grew closer, the fear escalated.

She felt like a lost child. She didn't have a normal development, to say the least. Only weeks ago, Andros had introduced her to feelings such as trust or loyalty. She had just been acquainted with the concept of love.

Surely, she was indeed as human as everyone else on the ship. But, she was lacking in a full comprehension of love. She knew the others cared for her, but she couldn't overcome the fact that all the people aboard the ship were her enemies just days ago. She had nearly killed them all. Could they ever forgive her?

They all hated Astronema, but suddenly, they all loved Karone? It didn't make sense to her. All she had ever known was hatred, envy, deceit, and treachery. She couldn't get her mind around pure, selfless emotions.

She wanted so much to just be like everyone else. With all her being, she wished she could just erase the past ten years of her life, and start out fresh. Evil was all she had known, and while her brother had managed to penetrate the glacial wall Astronema had erected around her heart, there was nothing to replace it.

Everything that was Astronema was evil. Everything she thought to be true was a lie. And now, she had to start all over again... with the weight of guilt hovering over her like a perpetual storm cloud.
