Here I’m standing in the night
My crescent wand the only light

Karone stood in the darkness of the room. Where am I? What am I doing here? She looked around, for something, anything. Nothing! Great. Andros, where are YOU?

“Pity you won’t find any of your friends here to help you get free of me. Either you will be free, or we die. The choice is yours. But trust me, I won’t let you be free.” The voice, so familiar to Karone, spoke from the shadows. “We will die before I let that happen.”

“Who are you?” Karone stepped closer to where the voice came from.

“Why, I am you,” the voice spoke as Astronema stepped out of the darkness.

“No!” This is going to be my toughest battle yet!

Alone against my darkest fear
But I sense my friends are near
I’ll draw from each the power I need
The evil Queen we will defeat

Karone stared at her ‘captor.' “You aren’t real!”

“Aren’t I?”

The two circled each other, waiting and planning their attacks. Voices and memories started pouring into Karone’s memory. Voices that spoke of true love and encouraged her in battle.

Give me the strength to carry on
With all our love we can’t go wrong
Only together we face the fight
Nothing can stand against our might

“Come on Sis! I know you can defeat her. After all, our family aren’t quitters! Mom and Dad really want to meet you.” Karone looked at the ghost-like figure of her brother, the Red Astro Ranger, and listened to his encouraging words of wisdom. When his image vanished, she noticed at how quickly it was replaced by the image of Zhane. The man of her dreams.

“Deep down, this ice queen has no reason to exists. It’s you I fell in love with, not her. I always knew there was good in her, and you are it.”

Give me the strength to carry on
With all our love we can’t go wrong
Only together we face the fight
Nothing can stand against our might

Karone listened to all the Rangers’ words and closed her eyes. “I have had enough of you Astronema. It’s time that you are taken down. I WILL NOT BE DESTROYED!” Her words echoed the room as it filled with a bright light…

With all our strength the battle’s won
With all our love we can’t go wrong
We have the strength to carry on

“Karone? You’re alive?” Andros’s voice filled her ears, and his arms around her body. “I can’t believe it.”

“We won. It’s over.”

The End
