Alpha 5 sighed. He had just shut down the last console.
"There. Now we can do our repairs without me worrying about being fried," he declared. Zordon, the intergalactic being caught in a time warp and mentor to the Power Rangers, gave a small smile.
"Excellent, Alpha," he approved. Meanwhile, up on the moon, Rita Repulsa gave a delighted cackle.
"Yes! The timing is perfect!" she shrieked.
"What are you talking about, Empress?" Scorpina wondered.
"While Zordon and his little robot are making repairs to the Command Center, we can go down and conquer Earth," Rita cackled.
"Excellent. I love it," Goldar cheered.
"Then, go down there, my little winged monkey, and pave the way," Rita instructed. He did so. Little did they know, the leader of the Power Rangers, sixteen-year old Jason Scott was in the middle of a battle with a boy who was a little bit older than him.
"Brian, don't!" Jason cried, barely dodging a blow.
"Come on, Jason. You have the power. Use it! Morph!" Eighteen-year old Brian Scott sneered. However, Jason stayed in his civilian state. Up on the moon, Squatt, who had managed to creep up to Rita's telescope, gave a little hop.
"Empress! Empress! Come quick!" he called.
"What now?" Rita grumped, walking over. "Out of my way," she snapped, shoving him aside. Then, she looked through the telescope. "What in the world?" she screeched.
"Empress?" Scorpina wondered, stepping up besides her mistress.
"Jason's fighting with a human, and I know I didn't cast any spells," Rita answered. Scorpina huddled against Rita to watch. Back on Earth, Goldar watched in confusion.
"Why don't you morph, Red Ranger?" Jason's opponent snarled. Yes. I was wondering that myself, Goldar thought. Then, he knows Jason's the Red Ranger? That made no sense. Jason was very cautious about keeping his identity hidden.
"I won't use my powers against you, Brian! None of them!" Jason shouted. None of them? Goldar silently asked. What other powers does he have? Then, Goldar saw the Red Ranger's antagonist kick the leader between the legs. Jason went down.
"Hey, that's low!" Rita screeched. "Even by our standards." Brian began to spin around.
"Brian...don't," Jason moaned. The spinning increased. "It's...morphin...time! Tyrannosaurus!" the Red Ranger yelled. No sooner had he morphed, then the other boy attacked. With a cry, the Ranger was flown back. When he landed again, he had de-morphed. With a warrior's cry, Goldar charged and attacked the antagonist, knocking him to the ground. Brian cried out. He then jumped to his feet.
"I'll be back," he snarled, then disappeared. Goldar hurried to the fallen Ranger's side.
"Red Ranger?" he asked. Jason groaned. Good, Goldar thought in relief. Though the two often fought with each other, the golden-clad warrior had a deep respect for the Ranger as a fighter.
"Empress, I'm bringing him up so we can heal his wounds," he reported. With that, he disappeared.
