Hi, everyone! This was an idea I always had in my mind for a long time and thought it would be great to finally share it on here. Takes place in Zeo for now, but I might write the story about my character in the Mighty Morphin. Anyways, I do not own Power Rangers but do own the character Stephanie Archer and the plot. Pictures of her zords in Mighty Morphin will be linked on my page (Still haven't finished drawing her Zeo suit/zord).
It's been a long time since I stepped into the familiar doors of the Juice Bar in Angel Grove, California as being back felt like nothing has changed and I was glad to be here again. Several months had passed when I stepped down as the sixth power ranger after Master Vile turned time back on Earth using the power of the Orb of Doom causing the other rangers and myself to turn into helpless kids without our powers to protect us. Though Earth wasn't all defenseless, Zordon called upon the help of the Alien Rangers of Aquitar to stop Rita and Zedd's plans on destroying our planet while Billy tried to create a device using our Power Coins to change us back into teenagers. Billy was able to use the regenerator device on himself changing him back to normal but before he was able to use it on us, Rito and Goldar stole the device along with our Power Coins that were used to power up the machine as they were soon destroyed by none other than Rita and Zedd.
With our only hope now came the pieces of the Zeo Crystals that were scattered throughout different time streams in order to prevent Master Vile from gaining the powers of the crystal and with the help of Zordon, we were sent through different times to find each piece of the Zeo Crystal and revert ourselves into teenagers again. The final piece of the six-sub Zeo Crystal was found in a cave in the wilderness of Canada as I followed the Aurora Borealis leading me to it, but once all the pieces of the crystal was recombined and Earth was restored to normal. Rito and Goldar found a way to destroy the Command Center after stealing the Zeo Crystal from us but luckily Zordon transported the other rangers and me to an underground center known as the Power Chamber with the Zeo Crystal retrieved and safe from evil.
The power of the Zeo Crystal gave the Rangers and me new powers as now we became the new Zeo Rangers but I knew things would never be the same again and I couldn't do this anymore, deciding to give up on my new source of power. When I broke the news to everyone, their shocked expressions were no surprise as they tried to keep me from leaving the team, everything changed when three of my best friends, including one who was really special to me left their powers to Adam, Rocky, and Aisha as they attended the Peace Conference in Switzerland.
Even if the new Rangers slowly became good friends to me, I knew deep in my heart that Zack, Trini, and Jason will always be the original Rangers along with Kim, Billy, and me. As I told Zordon to step down as the Purple Ranger and the new Silver Zeo Ranger, he somehow understood always being somewhat of a father to us and vowed that there will be no other Ranger to take the powers of the Silver Zeo Crystal as it was sealed away somewhere in the Chamber, hearing the last words from Zordon telling me 'the power will always protect me' before leaving the Power Chamber. As a few weeks later, I left Angel Grove after my father got transferred to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada leaving my friends behind as I went to attend a high school there.
Memories suddenly flashed before my eyes thinking how much has happened in the time I became a Power Ranger, I still kept in touch with all of my friends since I left except for Jason Lee Scott. I lost touched with him after a while and thinking about him now only makes my heart ache as I remembered that day in the Command Center when he was chosen to go to a Peace Conference along with Zack and Trini for Switzerland that I found out he loved me all this time and kissed me in front of everyone including Zordon and Alpha.
My light brown eyes slowly glanced up at the sight happening inside the Youth Center as I still wore the color purple never growing out of me and dressed in a lavender short sleeved blouse, a purple cardigan sweater, black jean shorts and a pair of white Keds' while my long brown hair was tied back in a lavender ribbon with a pair of colorful fish earrings dangling from my ears. The place still looked great as I had to best memories here with my friends, especially the time when we first were transported to the Command Center after an earthquake as we became the Power Rangers but that was all a distant memory. I pushed myself up on the bar seats in front of the Juice bar as a large smile escaped from my soft pink lips once I found Ernie, the owner of the Youth Center and a very good friend of mine.
"Hi, welcome to the Youth Center, what would you like to drink? Wait, wow, Steph is that you?" He noticed me as he looked up from the counter and catching the smile on his face.
"It sure is. Hello, Ernie, this place never lost its touch." I let out as he started to work on a smoothie from behind the counter while I heard him speak.
"No, it's still the same as you left. Anyways, I haven't seen you in months! How was Canada? Toronto was it?" He asked, as I smiled before answering him.
"I know. It's been a while. Actually, I stayed in Vancouver and it was great! There was so many people that I met and the city was beautiful, but Angel Grove is my home and I'm happy to be back. My dad was transferred back here in the states, so we won't be leaving again anytime soon." My smile continued to spread as Ernie grinned, placing a purple plastic cup with a blue straw in front of me as it was filled with my favorite drink, peach mango with a punch of strawberries and lemons.
"You still remember." I let out before taking a small sip of the sweet and cold juice through the straw as it quickly quenched my thirst.
"Of course, I do. You're still one of my best costumers and it's on the house, so don't worry." He told me with a grin as I smiled.
"Thanks, Ernie." He let out a nod and went off to attend a few teenagers at a nearby table to take their orders as it gave me some time to look around the place as sparks of flashbacks began to flow through my mind.
I remembered the times when Kimberly would focus her time on the balance beam behind the arcade area as she practiced her agility with flexible flips after years of gymnastics, the times when the two of us would teach the local teenagers to have fun in aerobics, and teaching Trini a few simple moves. As over there by the punching bag and near the exit of the Youth Center, would be Trini focusing her time in Kung Fu as she would work hard taking her energy to the art of the Praying Mantis and encouraging Billy to come out of his shell. And practically anywhere in the room was Zack showing every one of us and his love interest, Angela his fresh dance moves, though she never could be impressed by him, which I thought was sad. He would also be working out with his best friend, Jason and the time we threw him a special surprise party. I remembered how Billy would be in the middle of the Youth Center attending Jason's Karate class to learn how to defend himself against bullies, Bulk and Skull, Putties, and the monsters that Rita and Zedd would send down trying to defeat us. And then there was Jason as I remembered him always working out on the work bench, throwing punches against the punching bag, and teaching his Karate class after school. He would even spar with Zack or Tommy, when he joined the Rangers after breaking the evil spell from Rita and compete in several Karate Tournaments held in the Youth Center. There were also times he would help me work on my fighting skills as I was pretty good learning to do flips and defending myself, but needed help with my punches, which I owe it to him. Sometimes, I wish I could go back and do it all over again, but I know it couldn't. As the memories continued in my head, I turned my body facing the bar again with my mind tuning out the voices around me while I sip into the contents of my smoothie.
Jason's P.O.V: I pushed my strong legs inside the familiar hang out, the Youth Center with my friends, Tommy, Adam, Rocky, Tanya, and Kat. Every time I'm here all I could think about were the times that happened here. The friends I had then, my best friend, Zack, Trini, Kim, Billy, and Steph were with me since elementary school as we became the original Power Rangers starting out our Junior year with Tommy moving here to Angel Grove and became the seventh ranger after we saved him from the evil Rita had on him, he later became the white ranger after losing the green ranger powers for good and the leader of the rangers as I was second in command.
Soon, Zack, Trini, and I left Angel Grove to join the Peace Conference in Switzerland, the same day when I finally told Steph that I loved her and kissed her in front of our friends in the Command Center after wanting to do it for so long. After a whole year in Europe, I finally came back to Angel Grove knowing that things were never be the same again. Kimberly left Angel Grove to join the Pan Global Olympics, Zack moved with his family to San Diego, California, Trini and her parents flew back to Vietnam, Billy was no longer able to become a Power Ranger but now helps Zordon and Alpha in the new Power Chamber but to me, he'll always be a Ranger. And finally Stephanie had left Angle Grove as Tommy explained to me that she moved to Vancouver as her father got a transfer so now she was attending high school up North and also stepped down as a Ranger. At first, I couldn't believe it knowing Steph would never give up her powers, but after hearing the reason why from Zordon as I became the new Gold Ranger. It all made sense now, as I saw her Purple Ranger suit and Stegosaurs helmet held in the glass case along with the other Rangers' outfits. Zordon promised no one would take the place of the Silver Ranger other than Stephanie as I only wish she was still on the team and back here in Angel Grove. I wondered if she still had feelings for me now because I still loved her and never really dated other girls while I was gone because I still had feelings for her.
The voices of Rocky and Adam filled the air, as I couldn't fully focus on them with my brown eyes looking over at the Juice bar ahead of me while walking inside the Youth Center. There was girl sitting on one of the stools with her back turned against me as I couldn't believe it with my own eyes, seeing the familiar color of her natural bronze hair tied in a purple ribbon as her hair fell down towards her mid back, wearing a purple sweater and black shorts. She just had to be 'her' and my heart started to race and I could hear it pounding through my chest as I hoped it really was her.
"Hey Jase! Are you coming?" Tommy's voice somehow broke my gaze at her and put me back into reality as I turned my attention at him and hoped he didn't noticed to who I was looking at.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, just give me a sec. I'm going to go up to the Juice bar first for a drink. I'll meet up you guys later." I motioned my head to the bar as I let out a smirk, while Tommy smiled back and spoke.
"Sure, man. We'll spar later, okay?" I slapped my hand against his giving him a hi-five before responding.
"You got it, bro." After they left to get a table, I pushed myself over to the Juice bar and trying to not make an idiot of myself as I stood by next to her leaving my brown eyes looking at her as she still looked very stunning after all these years. End P.O.V
