"Stop!" Tommy heard the blonde girl scream.
"Stop!" another one of the girls screamed. "You'll only make them stronger. Stop fighting them."
Tommy ignored them and he noticed one of the punks he was fighting smile, almost sadistically. He felt the right thing to do was fight them. There was something strange about the punks in front of them. It didn't help that their eyes glowed, Tommy thought to himself. He sent another swift roundhouse kick in the gut to a 1950's reject that seemed to have a hard time giving up when he should have. Tommy as usual was doing well on his despite the protest from the five teenaged girls behind him.
"Who are they to tell to get out of the way? They should," Tommy thought. "What do they know about saving the world?"
The next thing Tommy knew he was on the flat of his back looking up at the sadistic looking chick who knocked him down. After a few minutes Tommy heard the distinct sound of high heels making contact with the concrete and the girls chanting in Latin. He looked up at the girls and it looked like their moon necklaces had a light emitting from them. A few moments later all the punks seemed to make a retreat.
The blonde girl walked up to him and held out her hand to help him up.
"Crap," he heard the Hispanic girl say angrily.
"We need to take him to Maggie," the eclectic dressed chick suggested a little nervously. "She'll know what to do."
"I could use my power to make sure this wouldn't happen," the red head suggested.
"No, Catty!" The blonde stated in parent scolds a child.
A little while later, he was walking into a candle lit apartment. He sat down next to the girls. He noticed the blonde who introduced herself as Vanessa was nervous and he thought he saw her disappear, but he shook it off and thought it was dimly lit room messing with his eyes. A middle-aged woman sat down across from him.
"Tea?" she asked.
"No," Tommy answered.
"I'm Maggie," she introduced herself after she had finished handing the girls their cups of tea.
"I'm Tommy," he said.
The older woman nodded her head in response. "So, girls why did you bring him here?"
"He was fighting a group of Followers and saw us finish them off our way!" Vanessa explained nervously.
"Did you explain to him how to fight a follower?" Maggie asked all five of them.
"All we told him was not to fight them and that what he was doing would only make them stronger!" the one called Tianna stated.
Once again the older woman was nodding her head. Then a smile crept on her face like she new something they didn't which she did considering she had been around since people worship several different deities at once. She looked at Tommy with the smile still on her face and it made Tommy inner ranger sense to go off.
"Where are you from?" Maggie asked.
"Angel Grove," he answered and the grin on her face became wider.
"I wouldn't expect anything less from one of Zordon's chosen!" she revealed.
Tommy didn't know what to say anything beyond, "How. Do. You. Know. That?"
"Well, when you've been around for as long as I have you tend to meet a lot of people," she stated. "Actually, I was born in Greece during the time when people openly worshiped other gods. When I came of age I pledged my life to the goddess of the moon, Selene."
"I thought Artemis was the goddess of the moon," Tommy interrupted.
"Well, Selene was originally and still is in my respect the goddess of the moon," Maggie stated. "As I said I pledge my life to serve the goddess of the moon and to help defend the earth for the Atrox."
"The Atrox?" Tommy questioned.
"Do you know about Pandora's Box?" Maggie asked.
"Yeah, she opened the box and all the evil's and plagues and any bad thing that happened to humanity came out, right?" Tommy said.
"Yes and the last the to leave the box was hope, which is essential to our so called fighting," Maggie told Tommy.
"Um, Maggie, what did you mean you wouldn't expect anything less from one of Zordon's chosen?" Vanessa asked.
"Because he was, but you commonly call Zordon's chosen as the Power Rangers," she explained.
"Hold the phone one minute!" Jimena exclaimed. "Just because he lived in a town that had the Power Rangers doesn't make him one."
"True," Maggie agreed. "But how else do you explain his reaction to the followers. Normal people just get uneasy and probably walk away and his was exactly the opposite."
"She's right," Serena finally spoke up. "I read his mind. It's quite fascinating."
"You were?" Tommy said trying to keep calm.
"Yeah," Serena said casually. "I was doing it when you were thinking about you ranger past."
"Not another Psychic!" Tommy screamed.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Maggie asked.
"He's friends with three Kerovans. Two of which were on the last team to defend the earth from Angel Grove. They're telekinetic like Tianna," Serena explained.
"Argh! Would you stop that?" Tommy freaked.
"Serena, would you please?" Maggie requested and Serena nodded.
"So," Tommy began. "The Atrox is your enemy and these Followers you were talking about are his minions?"
"Yes," Maggie answered.
"And you can't fight them with physical violence?"
"Right, again," Maggie stated.
"So what would happen if the Atrox won?" Tommy asked seriously.
"It would be worse than any of your enemies as a ranger won," Maggie answered, solemnly.
Tommy sighed. These teenage girls were fighting an evil ten time worse than Rita, Zedd, The Machine Empire, Divatox put together, but hopefully they didn't have to save the world as long as he did or die defending it.
"So, Tommy." Maggie smiled. "How's is Zordon doing these days?"
"Actually, um, Zordon died a few years ago," Tommy stated, sadly.
"Oh, well, um, how did it happen?" Maggie asked her expression turning dark.
"He had been kidnapped by the United Alliance of Evil and was held prisoner. The Space searched the known universe for him. When the Red Space Ranger finally found him and was in away able to take him out of the clutches of the Evil Alliance, Zordon asked Andros to kill him and Andros complied, but didn't want," Tommy explained.
"So, that's why the golden like swept through my apartment building and across the planet?" Maggie asked blinking back tears.
"Yes, he said it was the only way for good to triumph and no ranger on Earth or elsewhere in the universe is going to question him. In doing so he purified all the enemies we had. Rita, Zedd, Divatox, and Astronema are no longer evil and have human forms. Everyone else turned to dust," Tommy said looking away from Maggie.
"Zordon always knew what to do. He would give me advice about the girls I had mentored in the past. You know when that light wave went through me, I thought of Zordon and was happy and at peace with knowing everything was going to turn out all right," Maggie stated. "Thank you for telling me what happened to my old friend."
"You're welcome. You know I wish he had told us about you and the Atrox, but then there were many dangers and allies that we met that we didn't know existed until it was right in front of us," Tommy reminisced.
"That sounds like Zordon," Maggie said with a laugh.
Tommy looked at his watch. "I'm sorry about this but I've got to go. Do mind if I come see you again?"
"No, not at all. I would be delighted!" Maggie smiled.
"Goodbye," he told everyone and opened the door, but turned around. "Do you mind if I bring some friends?"
"I don't mind," She answered. "Are thinking of bringing some of your teammates over here?"
Tommy quickly nodded his head.
"Then it's definitely all right," Maggie answered with a smile. "I would love to meet them."
"Goodbye again," he said as he walked out the door.
