She's dead, and I die with her.

There's nobody here to threaten me- all in the dark fortress are dust now, including Ecliptor, and I am alone. Except for the body of my sister.

Oh, Karone, couldn't you have stayed alive long enough for Zordon's wave to affect you, to change you back? Instead you're still lying there on the floor where you collapsed, still Astronema. You died as Astronema.

All these years of searching, and what do I have to show for it? A dead sister. A sister I killed myself. I should have only knocked her unconscious, but instead I reflected her beam perfectly, and what was meant to bring an end to my existance brought an end to hers.

I almost hope our parents did not survive the destruction of K0-35. To come back home and to tell them what happened would be mortifying. I didn't see them at the settlement when we accidentally stumbled upon it. But I mustn't hope that, and instead just pray for the strength to tell them what happened. I swore to find her, to bring her back to them... this was not the way I planned.

I don't deserve to be a Ranger anymore. If there was any way to just teleport my morpher to the Astro Megaship, I would, leaving my teammates behind. I kind of doubt that there's going to be a huge need for Rangers any more, but T.J. or Zhane could fill my role fine as leader.

It occurs to me that I should land this thing, since I don't have access to the teleportation system here. I need to take Karone's body away from this place that symbolizes all that's happened to her. I think my teammates will understand, even Ashley. And I can turn over my powers to... someone.

I demorph, and look for the controls to land the Dark Fortress. I've shifted back to my shipboard uniform somehow, but that's fine. Gray is how I feel right now. Hold on, Karone. We'll shortly be home.
