About Zhane and Astronema/Karone

During a battle with Astronema and one of her monsters, she orders her wolf monster to destroy the Silver Ranger. Zhane narrowly escapes the demon's blasts, enraging Astronema and causing her to lash out at him with her wrath staff. Her blasts miss, however, and end up hitting her wolf monster. The wolf turns and attacks Astronema, knocking her unconcious. Zhane rushes in and whisks her from the battlefield.

Astronema wakes up feeling groggy, and finds herself in a field. Zhane is nearby, brewing her an herbal remedy. He offers it to her, and, looking annoyed, she sips it, only to find it's gross. As Zhane kneels by the campfire, attempting to make another batch, Astronema holds her staff up to his back.

"I could destroy you right now. You know that, don't you?"
Zhane looks at her. "You could. But I don't think you will."

He grabs her staff and puts a marshmallow on it and toasts it for her. She eats it and almost laughs. Then, she glares at him.

"I don't owe you anything! We're enemies now and forever!" But then she smiles. "Thanks for saving me."

Zhane feels saddened after she disappears. Astronema, on her Dark Fortress, lays on her bed cradling a picture of Zhane and daydreaming. Back on the Megaship, Zhane is laying on his bed and cradling a picture of her. Cassie and Ashley ask if he wants to go to the movies with them. Ecliptor tells Astronema that the Rangers are at the theater. Astronema gets excited and rushes to get ready.

After the movie, Zhane stares at the poster and dreams of himself and Astronema. Suddenly, he bumps into her in her true form, without all of the make-up and different hair, but he doesn't recognize her. After he rushes off to catch up with the others, Astronema notices he dropped a picture of her. She smiles, and sends him a note asking him out on a date.
Zhane rushes to get ready, but then Alpha forces him to go help the rangers on Earth, where Ecliptor had sent a monster.

Astronema waits in the field where he rescued her, with a beatiful picnic lunch. As time goes on, she grows more impatient and anxious. When he finally arrives, she zaps him. Zhane looks hurt, and asks what was wrong. Zhane explains that he didn't stand her up, that she sent a monster. Astronema doesn't know Ecliptor sent down a monster, so she thinks he's lying.

After she disappears, Zhane is very despondent. Astronema crumples his picture angrily, then sadly uncrumples it, and smiles gently at it. The next episode, when Ecliptor mentions the Silver Ranger, Astronema looks down sadly and repeats his title. Then she goes to her room where she pulls out his picture and stares at it sadly.

This seems like a sad, depressing end for them, doesn't it? Not so. Even though she told him she never wants to see him again, Astronema often thinks of Zhane sadly. After Zhane returns from helping the people of KO-35, he learns that for a brief period of time Astronema was able to escape the evil clutches of Dark Spectre and join the Rangers, but that she had been kidnapped.

"I knew there was something good about her!"

Zhane eagerly goes with Andros to try and rescue her, telling him he "has an interest in her as well." And it doesn't end there! After Dark Spectre is destroyed and the galaxy is safe, Zhane, Karone, and Andros all decide to stay on KO-35. When Andros is too heartbroken to leave his fellow rangers, Karone and Zhane tag along to Earth with them. (See? They're together!) With all that said, I just know Zhane and Karone found their happy ending together!
