A/N: Hey guys, bobman here. So yeah, this is coming out heck of a lot later than I wanted it to. (shows that I can't set deadlines for myself lol) Anyway I hope you all enjoy the final earth chapter in the story (or is it?). After this it's gonna be all space and other planets. I do not own Power Rangers as you should all be aware by now.

Chapter 9: The Spirit and Decisions PT. 2

Defender Megaship, Medical Bay

"What have you gotten yourself into Hannah?" A blonde woman in a white medical uniform asked out loud while standing over the currently unconscious body of Hannah. She made a few notes on a data pad she was carrying before moving onto another bed. Andros currently occupied the other bed, his midsection wrapped in bandages after taking the blow intended for Hannah from Golark. The blonde woman approached Andros, smiling lightly as she could tell Andros was only pretending to rest. "Look I know you are really awake, so knock off the charade." The woman said aloud, which prompted Andros to open his eyes.

"There's no pulling the wool over your eyes, is there Karone?" Andros asked the blonde woman, who simply shook her head in reply. "How is she?" Andros asked, worry filling his voice. Ever since Hannah was brought back to the ship and placed in the med bay, Andros had been wanting to know how his daughter was doing. Karone knew this was due to Andros' overprotective nature towards Hannah. She was about to answer when she heard a yawn coming from Hannah's bed. She rushed over to see Hannah sitting up and stretching.

"Hey Aunt Karone." Hannah said upon noticing Karone standing there. Karone went over to Hannah, helping to take off all the monitoring patches from the medical equipment. Once they were all removed, Hannah quickly ran over and hugged her father, who returned the hug. Karone stood off to the side, watching the father and daughter embrace, which couldn't help but bring to mind Zhane and how much she missed him. "Aunt Karone, was there a white orb in my hand when they brought me in?" Hannah asked, snapping Karone out of her thoughts and back into reality.

"Well, no. They brought nothing else in with you. Though with you bringing it up, a few times while you were in here, your body did begin to glow with a white light." Karone replied. Hannah nodded and got up. "Why do you ask?" Karone wondered, which prompted Hannah to recall everything Cole had told her about her now being a component to Corypheaus' ritual. Andros and Karone both had looks of wonder, concern, anger, and worry on their face as Hannah finished telling her tale. Hannah then quietly excused herself to go find Malakite, while Andros and Karone just remained speechless.

Defender Megaship, Shuttle Bay

Hannah entered the shuttle bay, having looked everywhere else where she figured Malakite would be. Hannah looked around the shuttle bay, finally coming across Malakite and the security personnel standing by the shuttle. Hannah ran up to Malakite and hugged him, catching Malakite off guard. His face quickly turned into a smile of relief when he realized Hannah was hugging him.

"Glad to see you are up and about again Little Red." Malakite said to Hannah, which caused her to give him a weird look. "What? You get to call me Kite, so I'm gonna call you Little Red." Malakite said with a chuckle. Hannah chuckled as well, but only for a moment as she noticed Malakite's face become serious. "I gave the others an ultimatum, it's time to go see what they decided." Malakite said as the security personnel boarded the shuttle, followed closely behind by Malakite and Hannah. Malakite contacted the Earth rangers and told them to meet in the park. Hannah and Malakite were both very quiet during the ride to Earth, Hannah wondering the entire time if she had made the right choice or not.

Angel Grove Park

As the shuttle landed, Hannah noticed that all 4 of the rangers were there, along with James and another individual she hadn't seen before. Once the shuttle had fully landed, Hannah and Malakite left the shuttle to speak with the Earth Rangers.

"So have you come to your decision yet?" Malakite asked, wanting to get the business out of the way. Hannah chuckled to herself as this was always Malakite's way of handling things when it came to matters that effected him personally. Surprising none of the Earth Rangers, Jevon was the first to step forward, followed by Olivia.

"You have given us a great responsibility, it would be wrong of us not to do what was expected of us." Jevon told Malakite, but Hannah had noticed that the comment wasn't for Malakite per se. She noticed Zack shifting somewhat uncomfortably, signaling to her that Zack was still very much torn between his ranger duties and his personal life. Rena, James and the unknown individual then approached Malakite.

"I have no issue going with you, as long as James and Zane here can come as well." Rena said, as Hannah took a look over Zane. His skin was somewhat pale, indicating that he was not from around here, dark green eyes and jet black hair. He wore a black t-shirt under his red hoodie, black cargo pants, and red and black boots.

"He can come, so long as he can carry his own weight around with helping out around the ship." Malakite replied, which caused Rena and Zane to embrace and share a small kiss. Hannah watched the action with wonder, wondering if this was what she had heard of as 'love'. Zack was the final one to approach Malakite, still seeming unsure of his decision. It was at this point that Hannah decided to step in and speak directly to Zack.

"I get it Zack." Hannah started off by saying, catching the attention of all the others. "You aren't sure if this is the right thing to do or not. Look I can't make this decision for you, but you have to look at it this way. Yeah, you are leaving things behind now, but if Corypheaus isn't stopped, you won't have anything left here anyway." Zack was about to respond when Malakite got a call on his communicator. The others pulled their communicators out as well, just in time to hear that the Dreadnought had begun to move out of Earth's orbit and head off into space. Without another word between the group, all six rangers and both extras quickly ran to the shuttle as it took off.

A/N II: Well there you have it. Zane is an OC created by Batmarcus, added in at the request of decode9 (Rena's creator). So now it begins. There are going to be many Downtime chapters to flesh out characters and relationships, plenty of action as Corypheaus and the Rangers fight over the components to the ritual, and twists and turns along the way. Anywho, please leave a negative or positive review and I'll see y'all next time.
