-----------------------------------
Prologue
Zordon watched viewing globe as his newest formed team the Turbo Power Rangers went into battle. He knew they would be no match for Divatox if they went into battle with their Zeo morphers, and they wouldn’t have been able to cross into Maligore’s dimension either. He knew all of them weren’t too excited about taking up new ranger powers again. They had finally defeated the defeated the Machine Empire after all. But it seemed that always would be rangers. The duty was not a once in a lifetime thing. Danger would always come no matter how much they defeated it, and power rangers would always be needed. Something was still worrying him about them. Not all of the teams he had trained but the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. Something deeply worried him about those teenagers. He had a strong feeling their problems were far from over.
He started to gain these suspicions when Jason took on the gold powers. He was never meant to come back to duty of course but he was the best candidate to receive them. It seemed the first red ranger would never escape ranger duty, no matter how hard he tried. But Zordon also knew that Jason would not back down, he would take up the duty no matter how long it would take. His life as the Gold Ranger was short-lived. For after so many battles he started to become weak. They learned he couldn’t take the foreign power anymore. Thus the legacy of the Gold Power Ranger was over Jason returned to normal but something happened. Zordon felt a strange spark of power blink in the first red ranger. He still didn’t know for sure but his fears became realized that the first team of rangers. The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers hadn’t lost all of their powers.
Research began to find out why. Though, Zordon was wise, and knew much he never imagined this would happen to his rangers. But it had. Zordon turned to Alpha 5 who was monitoring the ranger’s lifelines during the battle, while at the same time researching this very suspicion. The Robot turned to Zordon, and seemed to be shaking his cylinder head sadly. “You’re suspicions were right Zordon. The mighty Morphin Power Rangers still have their powers.”
“BUT THEY CAN NOT MORPH WITH THEM?” Zordon stated.
Alpha nodded sadly. “For some reason even though the morphing grid, and their power coins were destroyed, their powers are still in them. At least some.”
“DOES IT TELL ANY WAY FOR THE RANGERS TO MORPH OR DISPOSE OF THEIR POWERS?” Zordon asked the robot.
Alpha typed away at his keyboard looking over the information that was wrote in an unknown language. “No it does not.”
Zordon showed much concern in his eyes. He knew the teenagers had been taking a big risk taking the powers in the first place but he never dreamed it would go to this much trouble. Calming himself he looked to his ally. “ALPHA AFTER THE TURBO RANGERS COME BACK I DO NOT WANT THEM TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. IT WOULD BE TOO MUCH OF A DISTRACTION WITH THIS BATTLE ALREADY AT HAND.”
“Can we do anything to help the rangers, Zordon?” Alpha asked hoping there might be some way to keep them safe.
Zordon nodded. “TELEPORT IN THE TRYRANNOSAURAS, MASTODON, AND THE SABERTOOTH TIGER POWER COINS.”
Alpha nodded, then homed in on the coins powers. Slowly all three coins appeared. Though Rito Revolto did make the power coins useless they still were them. All of them had been sitting inside a small box, which the rangers had buried not far from the old command center. With the morphin grid gone they needed a new power source, and new zords. So they traveled to Ninjor’s planet to gain new coins, and zords. But the old power coins could be recharged though the power source would have to be different.
Zordon spoke after his assistant set the power coins in their original box. “NOW RETRIEVE THE ZEONIZERS: 1, 3, 4, AND 5.”
The little robot went over to a small compartment some ways away where the old Zeo morphers were kept. Carefully Alpha retrieved the pink, green, blue, and red morphers from the drawer laying them in the small box with the power coins. The Zeonizers still worked they just weren’t powerful enough to use against Divatox so they had been put away, and their powers were transferred to the turbo morphers. Zordon was planning to give them to their respective owners when the rangers finally left duty. So the rangers would have them to remember what they did.
Once that was done Zordon said. “THOUGH THE RANGERS NINJA POWER COINS ARE DESTROYED I CAN SENSE THE POWER IS STILL INSIDE THE RANGERS. WE WILL CREATE NEW COINS THAT ACCESS THE SAME RANGER ABLITIES.”
Alpha found a flaw in this. “But Zordon, which coins? There are many, and I can tell not all of them will be getting the same powers back.”
“INDEED ALPHA FIVE, THEY WON’T. I HAVE CHOOSEN TO USE THE LAST RANGER MORPHERS FROM WHEN EACH OF THEM LEFT. SO THAT THEY CAN ACCESS THE SAME POWER THEY KNOW. THE COINS WE SHALL RECREATE SHALL BE THE YELLOW BEAR, AND PINK CRANE.”
Alpha began to fix up the white room, which was identical to the one where the White Tiger Coin was created. But then comes to a halt when the little robots memory banks began remember this won’t work. “What is the power source, though? The morphing grid is gone, Ninjor has left so there is no way to gain new ones, the Zeonizers won’t work because the turbo morphers are already hooked up to the Zeo crystals.”
Zordon answers. “LATER ON THE TURBO MORPHERS WILL BE DONE. BUT I DO SENSE A NEED IN THE FUTURE FOR THE RED TURBO MORPHER. WE’LL HAVE TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR BOTH TO WORK AT ONCE FOR A SHORT TIME BUT THE RED ZEONIZER MUST STAY ONLINE. WE WILL HOOK ALL OF THE MORPHERS, AND COINS UP TO THE ZEO CRYSTAL. THOUGH I FEAR THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE FULL POWER FOR SOME OF THEM SHALL HAVE TO SHARE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE COLOR.”
The robot begins the work on the power coins while Zordon returns to his main tube to watch the ranger’s lifelines. In shock he sees on the viewing globe, two of his first rangers Jason, and Kimberly fighting against the Turbo Rangers. He senses pure evil is brainwashing them. Maligore. He thought. The only way for there two to be affected was if they still had the power in them. Though Divatox may have thought it only was the purity the demon wanted it wasn’t just that is was the power that was still in them. If it had been a normal human in this situation they would have just died. But these two were protected by the power. Making them resist being destroyed, but that didn’t mean their purity wasn’t taken. Finally after sometime the alien wizard named Lerigot who the rangers rescued earlier on turned the two back to normal. Then they helped the rangers escape Divatox. He could see a lot of pain in Kimberly seeing Tommy again, and Jason decided to comfort the girl he knew as a sister.
-----------------------------------
Finally Zordon turned his attention away from the viewing globe to see Alpha waddling over. “ARE THEY FINISHED?”
“All most Zordon. I thought it would be best if I came back in here though, so the rangers don’t get suspicious.” Alpha replied.
Zordon smiled at Apha glad to see the robot knew how important it was to keep this knowledge from the rangers. At that instant the rangers teleported in looking battered, and bruised but other than that alright. Slowly all of them lifted their helmets off their heads holding them in their arms by their sides. Zordon watched his newest team with pride welling up inside him they were truly as a ranger should be. He then spoke. “RANGERS WELL DONE YOU STOPPED DIVATOX’S WEDDING THOUGH I FEAR YOUR BATTLE IS FAR FROM OVER. YOU FOUGHT BRAVELY TODAY, AND I COULDN’T ASK FOR A BETTER TEAM.”
The new Blue Ranger, Justin seemed to puff up his chest in pride. Adam grinned at the praise, and Tanya smiled happily. Kat showed off her trademark smile. While Tommy just nodded, Zordon could tell he was still getting over seeing Kimberly. But he would be all right. “YOU MAY GO AND REST RANGER, BUT I NEED TOMMY, ADAM, AND KATTHERINE TO STAY. MAY THE POWER PROTECT THE REST OF YOU.”
The others seemed to nod understanding it was probably none of their business. They powered down then Alpha sent them to Ernie’s Juice Bar. Tommy, Kat, and Adam remaining morphed waiting to hear what their mentor had to say. They all wore confused expressions wondering why he had sent away the others but they had to stay.
Kat was the first to speak. “Zordon, what is the matter?”
Zordon wore a serious but gentle expression as he turned his eyes to the pink ranger. “YOU WILL FIND OUT SOON KATHERINE.” Then their mentor turned his attention to Alpha. “ALPHA PLEASE TELEPORT ROCKY HERE THEN GO RETRIEVE THEIR ITEMS.”
Alpha nodded. “Right away Zordon.” Then he typed in the coordinates for where Rocky was. Unknown to them the robot had used the faint red power that was still inside him to find the former ranger.
The rangers were in a bit of shock to hear that Rocky was coming here. Did their mentor have a new power for him? No that couldn’t be it Rocky was injured he transferred his powers to Justin that couldn’t be it. Then what was it? And why did Zordon ask Alpha to retrieve their items. What items? As they were thinking a white light flashed into the room, and there was Rocky. He had crutches to keep him upright because of the accident. And, he seemed to be in just as much of shock as the others to be there.
Rocky turned to Zordon the best he could. “What is it Zordon? Why did you bring me here? I am not a power ranger anymore.” His voice seemed to be full of dismay he wanted to be with the others fighting, but since his accident he new he couldn’t. It almost seemed to him, he was taken out of their inner circle of friends, and with a secret only they knew. Even though Justin was doing just fine he still wished he could be the one out there fighting evil.
“I SHALL TELL YOU IN A MOMENT ROCKY, BE PATIENT.” Zordon replied.
Rocky nodded using his crutches for support he made his way back to the others. “Do you guys have any idea why I’m supposed to be here?”
“No.” Tommy replied in a melancholy voice. “All we know is Zordon made the three of us stay behind while he sent Justin, and Tanya, away.”
Rocky blinked. “He, sent them away?” What was so big that it needed to be kept secret from the other rangers? After all as long as Rocky had remembered they hardly had secrets they didn’t share with the whole team. “Are you sure?”
Tommy just nodded not wishing to talk anymore.
Before Rocky could ask another question Alpha came into the room with a small wooden box. He set it down on the table in front of them. The rangers looked at the box curiously wondering what was in it, and why the others weren’t going to be able to see it. Whatever it was it had to be something pretty important not to let the others know. Zordon seemed to nod to Alpha then the robot opened the box.
The four gasped in amazement, what they saw was four zeonizers all sitting on a pillow that was inside the box. They walked over to them, well the three of them did, Rocky had to limp. They looked them over studying them, checking them over to see if these were the same morphers they used when they lost their Ninja Powers, and the pieces of the Zeo Crystal were retrieved to create a new power source. Thus them taking up the legacy of the Zeo Rangers. They were the same morphers down to the last detail. During all this time memories that were both good, and bad sped through their minds.
Kat stared at her pink zeonizer, remembering it represented her first time not living in Kimberly’s shadow. She had been chosen to wear the morpher, and she couldn’t have been happier at her time being a Zeo Ranger. She looked up to their mentor. “But Zordon?” She asked. “Why are you giving them back to us?”
Adam nodded in agreement as he was fiddling with his green zeonizer. “She’s right we lost those powers.”
Zordon spoke with much wisdom in his voice. “THEY WILL WORK ONCE THE TURBO MORPHERS ARE RETIRED. I HOPE YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO USE THEM RANGERS, BUT IF YOU EVER DO THEY WILL WORK FOR YOU. THEY ARE SO YOU CAN REMEMBER YOUR TIME AS ZEO RANGERS.”
Rocky seemed teary eyed which was rare for him. But he was looking down at his blue zeonizer remembering how much he missed being a ranger. He would keep it to remember his friends, and the best past he could ever hope for. “Thanks for the memento Zordon. I’ll keep it always.”
The others nodded in agreement but they noticed their fearless leader eyes were trying to fight back tears as he held the red zeonizer in his grasp. Tommy was remembering when Kim sent him that breakup letter. It stirred up his emotions he had felt from so long ago. He felt a hand on his shoulder turning around he saw Kat looking at him with concerned eyes. He nodded to her trying to bring out a grin though seeing that morpher, and Kim all in one day, devastated him. “I’m okay, Kat.” He said to her in the best non-trembling voice he could, but Kat could tell he wasn’t alright. She still nodded though knowning it was best to leave him alone with this problem.
Zordon looked to his rangers. Knowning that they would be facing more trouble than they ever had. He knew they would probably not be ready for it, but would fight their hardest. I only hope this will give them a better chance. “FAREWELL RANGERS, AND MAY THE POWER PROTECT YOU.”
The rangers powered down while Rocky waited. Then the four of them were transported in beams of color to the tournament.
