After much indecison and turmoil inside of herself, Astronema decides that Andros is telling the truth, and decides to join the Rangers to find Zordon. The Rangers are distrustful at first, but Astronema proves her sincerity by turning on her master, Dark Spectre. The Rangers decide to make her an Honorary Power Ranger, bestowing upon her her own Astro Megaship uniform, and wrist communicator. All seems to be going well at last, when Dark Spectre decides to seek revenge on Astronema for betraying him, and sends an asteroid on a collision course for Earth, unless Astronema is returned to him! The Rangers make several desperate attempts to stop the asteroid, but they all fail. When the Rangers seem at a loss, Karone speaks up. She tells them that the asteroid must be programmed from the Dark Fortress. She thinks that she can sneak on board, and re-program it. Andros is against the idea, but realizes his siter won't be swayed. Karone dresses once again as Astronema, and sneaks aboard the ship. Her plan seems to be working, when suddenly a brainwashed Ecliptor sneaks up on Karone, breaking the signal to the Rangers. Andros and Zhane immediately set out on a rescue mission to save Karone, but when they get to the Dark Fortess, they realize that Astronema has been re-programmed to evil by a headset implanted in her brain, controlling her thoughts. This new Astronema seems more evil than ever, as she sends the seemingly unbeatable Psyco Rangers after the Space Rangers. The re-programmed Astronema seems to be on no one's side but her own's, however, when she uses the Psyco Rangers to drain Dark Spectre's energy, until he is no more. Soon, the final battle is upon the Rangers as Astronema and Dark Spectre recruit the villains of the universe to take over. All seems lost for the Earth, and Karone,until Andros boards the Dark Fortress in hopes of getting through to his sister. Astronema strikes out at him, however, and in the battle, Andros inadvertently deals Astronema an deadly blow. Zordon desperately tells him that the only way to save the universe, and his sister, is to shatter his energy tube, releasing his good energy and wiping out the evil of the universe. Andros reluctantly complies, destroying Dark Spectre's forces, and releasing Karone from his control. Karone, Andros and Zhane decide to travel with the Rangers to Earth.
