I have several pages of this story written out and will get it typed up and posted as soon as I can. I am currently working on several other fanfics and this particular story maybe delayed. I am sorry for leaving you hanging like this. (But for some odd reason, I have nothing to do so, am devoting it to this.)</P> </I><I> <P>I would also ask you to email me if you would like to use any aspect of my story. The reason for this, especially with Zelda, is because the storyline is complex and has taken me since 1991 to create to where it is now. It is also under constant reconstruction so some items are subject to change. I will also have several standalones, which have nothing to do with the main sequence of events. I will tell you when that is so. I just want you to know that I am posting this against my better judgment because all my ideas are subject to change. I really wanted to wait and post it when the whole thing was typed, but I just want to get it out there and then post the final version on my site when complete. Any critique is welcome. I will also soon have out a guide to my characters. Thank you. I give to you now…</P> </I><B> <P align="CENTER">What’s Five Degrees off the Port Bow?<BR>By Zelda Martial</P> </B> <P>“Engineering report,” Zelda commanded the nearby chief engineer.</P> <P>“We’ve managed to get thrusters partially back online, and some how the crack in the atmospheric gravity dome was somehow sealed.”</P> <P>“I want a team on that crack right away.”</P> <P>“Yes commander.” Chief Engineer Botswick replied. “Alpha and Beta teams meet me outside in the colony dome in ten minutes.” Out of the corner of her eye, Zelda saw Damon respond quickly to the command.</P> <P>“Any other damage to report?” Zelda asked Botswick.</P> <P>“No sir.”</P> <P>“Get on the leak then.”</P> <P>“Yes Commander.”</P> <P>“Sir,” Someone from a sensor console called out. “I’m picking up five strange alien life forms on board the colony.”</P> <P>“Bio signature.” Zelda commanded with authority. The young Chinese woman at the sensor console responded with bewilderment tracing her voice. Botswick turned to face Zelda just as he was about to leave to do his duties.</P> <P>“Bio signatures of the five alien life forms composed of…” She trailed off, unable to digest her findings. Zelda walked over to the young Lieutenant’s console.</P> <P>“Aqua with traces of liquid gold, sliver and zinc.” Zelda relayed to the others around her.</P> <P>“May I ask you a question sir?”</P> <P>“I think you just did.” Zelda smiled. “Go ahead Lieutenant Chang.”</P> <P>“I would like to know how you know and how you can be so sure?”</P> <P>“Well, let’s just say that it takes one to know one.” Zelda then flipped that sensor screen so that it showed Aquitor on the main data screen in engineering.</P> <P>“With all due respect sir, how do we know that these aliens are not hostile?”</P> <P>“They’re power rangers.” Zelda replied, slightly offended.</P> <P>“How do you know that though?” Botswick inquired.</P> <P>“Friends of the family you could say.” Zelda looked around herself and noticed that she was receiving quizzical looks from everyone within earshot of the conversation that she was having between herself and Botswick.</P> <P>“Chief,” Zelda abruptly changed the subject so that she didn’t make a complete nut of herself in front of her officers. “Let me know as soon as the dome is repaired.”</P> <P>“Yes Commander.” Botswick then left engineering to go to the colony dome where the Alpha and Beta teams were waiting for his arrival.</P> <P>“As for the rest of you,” Zelda commanded. “Keep up the great work.” With that, Zelda left the engineering staff to their duties without further interruption. Taking one last glance at those under her command, Zelda quietly exited engineering to intercept her incoming message coming from Delphi and the other Alien Rangers.</P> <P>“Zelda, we come with urgent news.” Delphi exclaimed as Zelda walked up to her.</P> <P>“What is it?” Zelda replied.</P> <P>“It’s from Tryforia.” Delphi spoke solemnly. She then handed to Zelda a communications pad. Zelda skimmed it.</P> <P>“Cease fire has fallen. Please return immediately. We don’t know how much longer we can hold them back.” Zelda smacked her forehead in frustration. If it wasn’t the Varox, it was some other assemblage of thugs who wanted a piece of Galaxia, Tryforia’s golden capital city.</P> <P>“Thank you Delphi,” Zelda rested her right hand on her friend’s shoulder. “I will make sure that Trei receives this message too.” With that, both parties went their own ways.</P> <P>“I can’t believe it.”</P> <P>“Neither can I. You were finally able to get away for a few days and now their hauling you back in. But you must admit,” Zelda curled up into Trei’s arms as she continued to speak. “It’s as much your job to guard our people as it is my job to guard Terra Venture.” She cracked a small smile. “But, I do feel like leaving the colony for awhile so I’m going to go with you whether you like it or not.” Zelda then began tickling Trei in the ribs and got him not only to smile, but also laugh for the first time since he was here, and for the first time since they were separated several years ago.</P> <P>“Pyramidas, begin launch sequence.” Trei had just entered the cockpit of his zord while Zelda was getting into hers.</P> <P>“Eagle Momma to Pyramid Daddy,” Zelda giggled. “Are we ready for lift off?”</P> <P>“This is Pyramid Daddy, we are ready.” Trei replied.</P> <P>“Alright then, I’ll clear us out. Eagle Momma out.” Zelda giggled again. It had been quite some time since the two of them had communicated in such a fashion. Usually they had no time for fun and games now that the both of them were in charge of an entire world, not to mention fighting to keep it free. “We’ve got clearance.”</P> <P>“Rodger that.” A few moments of silence passed between the two rangers as they began their journey back to Tryforia.</P> <P>“I have to tell Commander Stanton where I’m going so communication between us will be down for a moment. Are you going to be okay?”</P> <P>“I’ll scout around you in the mean time.” Trei replied.</P> <P>“Commander Stanton?” Kai asked his superior officer.</P> <P>“Yes?” Stanton replied.</P> <P>“We have an incoming message for you on subspace.”</P> <P>“Put me through.”</P> <P>“I hope I haven’t reached you at a bad time.”</P> <P>“Not at all. What can I do for you Zelda?” Stanton replied.</P> <P>“I have a slight problem that I need to take care of. Do you think you watch things for me?”</P> <P>“Not at all. Have a safe journey.”</P> <P>“I’ll be back ASAP.” Stanton nodded at Zelda’s words. “Sir, may I speak to Kai please?” Commander Stanton motioned for Kai to come forward. Kai did as he was told and no sooner had her done that then a small, bright sapphire light filled the room.</P> <P>“You’ll know what to do with it in time.” Kai didn’t even have time to form a response as Zelda cut the communications link between her zord and the command bridge.</P> <P>“Now that I’ve gotten that taken care of, have you seen anything interesting Pyramid Daddy?”</P> <P>“Check five degrees to your port.”</P> <P>“What is it?” There was no response as communications became jammed on all frequencies.</P> <P>“What is five degrees to port?” Zelda screamed over the useless comm. channel, afraid she might have lost the gold ranger again.</P><p>y had tâ!
