Me: Hello all! I'm back with another story, and this one an old idea that I've been holding onto for years, and I've decided to expanded, and believe me, I've been held back while writing other stories, but here's the first cha-!

Bunnie: Hey Sugah, what's up with the first chapter? It's so long.

Me: *Laughs innocently* Well yeah, I intended to make it shorter that what was written, but since it was soon expanded upon when I was writing this chapter, it wasn't what I expected, and I've got new OC's in this story.

Alpha: Wow, the list of OCs grow ever more so slightly.

Me: How are you even here, Alpha? I don't want to confuse you with Alpha 5 here, so can you go back? I'll try to write the next chapter of Captain N after I post this chapter, but I can't make any promises.

Alpha: Fine...*Goes back into the other story to wait*

Me: Alright...now where was I?

Bunnie: Well, for starters, why is this chapter long?

Me: that will all be explained after the chapter, Bunnie, any other questions?

Bunnie: When does this take place?

Me: Like I said, that will be explained after the chapter.

Bunnie: Will we get to see some action?

Me: Oh definitely, although it's later on in most parts of the chapter, and I'm bringing back a character as a Mobian as well.

Bunnie: Who is he?

Me: I can't say, and if I reveal him or her, it'll ruin the story.

Bunnie: Well, ain't that just dandy?

Me: Watch it, I don't want to write you out of the story, so please don't get any ideas.

Bunnie: Sorry. Anyway, Prowl only owns the idea and the story, so don't go hater mode on him.

Me: Hater mode? Where'd you get that idea?

Bunnie: Somethin' I came up with while you were writing the chapter.

Me: Ah, I see. Well you guys heard her, don't hate me for what I'm about to do, so enjoy the chapter. and for you ranger fans out there, you'll love what's going to happen. And don't for get to bring out your Power Rangers soundtracks and albums, you'll need 'em.

Sonic: *arrives too late to join in at the beginning* Hey, what's going on? *Notices that everyone is gone after the chapter begins to start* Oh man, I missed it!


"Many years ago, evil threatened to destroy the planet Earth, now called Mobius, evil hadn't shown it's face in many years, until an evil man named Dr. Eggman had terrorized it's inhabitants by turning them into robot slaves and ruled with an iron fist, until a group of Mobians opposed him, they were called the Freedom Fighters, they fought the mad doctor for years and to this day, the Freedom Fighters still fight him till the day he is finally defeated." A teenage Mobian said as gave his history report to his class. "Excellent work, Mr. Prower, for doing an excellent report, you get an easy hundred." Said the teacher as the school bell rang. "Don't forget that you have a test tomorrow." The class groaned except for the fox who was standing next to the teacher's desk. "I think it's perfect! The test is a perfect way to keep up with knowledge."

Later that day, after school, the young fox was on his way to the Freedom Fighter Headquarters as he came in he saw his friend, Sonic The Hedgehog, as he and the hedgehog sat at a table. "So Tails, how'd history go?" He asked, Tails laughed. "It was great, but watch out for the test that's coming tomorrow."

Sonic thought Tails was joking, but in his years as a Freedom Fighter, Sonic had never seen his best friend joke about anything in those years, but their lives were about to change when they were suddenly teleported to a mysterious room that was filled with machines.

"Whoa, I don't believe it, Sonic, this place...I think it looks ancient..." Then out of nowhere, a robot came into view, seeming that it looked like it was running. "Ai-yi-yi! Please don't touch that, it's delicate!" But due to the robot's misfortune, he tripped. "Not again." He groaned, then Tails came to help him up.

"Wow, what are you? I bet you were built here on Mobius." He said, the robot looked insulted as Tails apologized. "No, you are forgiven, but given by part of the question, I am Alpha 5, command center prototype, I wasn't built here, I was built on Edenoi, that is a planet light years from Earth, but before you ask, I knew Mobius was once earth, I didn't stay long on earth so I built Alpha 6 in my place, so after I came back, the command center was a mess, so I had help from the humans I once knew. If you look behind, you will find seven containers holding one suit each, they each have the same story." Tails and Sonic were amazed at what they saw as Alpha continued to tell them the story. "Wait, why were there six rangers? Was there any other way bring the seventh ranger back?" Sonic Asked, as Alpha hung his head down sadly.

"The Green Ranger could not co-exist with the White Ranger since the Green Ranger was a clone, so he decided to stay in the colonial times when Angel Grove was discovered." Sonic and Tails were surprised and sad at the the clone's sacrifice. "But do not feel disappointed, we managed to save the original green power coin since the clone had a replica of the original as we restored the power coins since before the birth of Mobius." Alpha explained but it only resulted in getting both the hedgehog and fox more confused.

"Who were the the original Power Rangers?" Asked Tails as Sonic looked at the Green Ranger outfit. Alpha began telling tails the story, but that was when Sonic interrupted. "Could the green power coin work on a Mobian? I'm just curious to see if it still works." He said, wondering it was even possible for a power coin to work for a Mobian.

Alpha had forgotten what Sonic had said until he completely remembered. "Oh dear, you're right, Sonic, that was the reason when I brought you two here,the reason to recruit you." The hedgehog and fox nearly fainted and stumbled to keep themselves balanced. "US?!" The two Mobians nearly shouted, Alpha stood there completely unfazed. "Correct, but there are still five others that need to be recruited as Rangers."

Sonic was the first to speak as he recovered from shock. "Who are the others?" Alpha pointed to a strange glowing globe. "Instead of telling you, let me show you. These five teenagers were chosen protect the earth long ago, Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack, they were the five original rangers, Tommy had later joined them when he was freed from Rita's spell." This caught Sonic's attention, he had a similar experience by being turned against his own friends, forced to do make a decision, something he didn't to remember.

"I think you saw it, Alpha, the whole thing, how I turned into Mecha Sonic, tell me, was it true? Did I kill anyone? Was I really under Robotnik's control?" Alpha turned to the console and a video appeared on the viewing globe.

Sonic looked in horror as Knothole was nearly destroyed, there he was, or rather Mecha Sonic, fighting Bunnie Rabbot, but he was glad that she she was alright. He couldn't believe he attacked Knothole, it was as he thought, Robotnik turned him into Mecha Sonic, another memory played back in his mind as it dawned on him. "I'm getting an idea, Alpha, can you show me footage of my second time being Mecha Sonic?" Alpha did, and the viewing globe instantly played the footage. "I must say, Sonic. You and Tails did a real good job of beating Eggman back then, whoo, you two really showed Eggman and his nephew what you could do." Sonic chuckled, Tails did as well, both looked at each other. "We sure showed them. Didn't we, Tails?" Tails smiled. "We sure did. Although, I wish I could have recorded the entire fight." Alpha handed a disk to Tails. "Thanks." He said to the robot. "You're Welcome, although, I wonder who would be successors to the original rangers?" Alpha 5 thought aloud, prompting sonic to think long and hard, he thought of who would be successors to the original rangers, and before he could speak his idea, Tails beat him to it.

"I think I know a few, although I don't know if any of them would approve of keeping their Identities a secret." He explained, not sure if he would be correct, however, Alpha had the same thought. "I agree, but how can we convince them? Surely there must be a way." The two thought harder than Sonic did, and it took them a while before they found a way, and before they could say anything, the sirens went off, causing them to look at the viewing globe. "Oh no, Eggman's attacking Knothole again, What do we do?" Tails asked, forgetting that they had the legacy of the rangers at their disposal.

"Tails, You forget that that you have to chose which ranger color you need since you don't have time! Hurry!" Alpha 5 shouted, forcing Tails to grab the Morpher with the triceratops power coin. "Well, not my first choice, but it'll have to do." He said, not really liking the Morpher's power coin, he had no choice but to use it, anyway. "Triceratops!" He called out as his transformation into the Blue Ranger occurred, he was as tall as a human. "I do like the results, though." He said, admiring his height increase.

Sonic knew which Morpher to take, and it was the Green Ranger's Morpher, He followed suit. "Dragonzord!" The same thing happened to him as he became the Green Ranger. "I'll admit, Tails is right, but do we have our respective abilities?" He asked, Alpha nodded the word 'no'. "I'm afraid not, Sonic, while they give you strength, power, durability, and Stamina, they were not designed for speed, however, we did design these vehicles to get you from place to place as rangers, meaning you can use them, just not for selfish desires." Alpha explained, Tails marveled at the Battle Bikes. "Wow, how long ago were these made? These must have been made for the rangers designed after their Zords." He observed each one, they were indeed designed after the Dinozords, although the lone bike separate from the rest looked like it was designed after the Dragonzord. "You're correct, Tails. They were designed after the Zords, but they saw very little use, which meant that they were hardy brought out of storage." The two Rangers felt sorry for the Battle Bikes, Alpha continued. "I made sure that the new Battle Bike that was designed after the Dragonzord, and even that was put into storage, although not as long as the others, but it longs to see the light of day." He finished explaining, Sonic and Tails were amazed. "So you mean it's alive like you are?" Sonic asked, not really far off from his guess. "Correct, they were replaced by the newer Power Cycles when Lord Zedd was around. And I'm afraid you better get going, Eggman's Badniks are causing trouble." Realizing that Alpha was right, the two then grabbed their respective Battle Bbikes and sped back to Knothole.

"Hey Sonic, how much damage have the badniks caused?" Tails asked worryingly, Sonic chose not to think about it, instead keeping his eyes on the road. "I think we need to keep our focus on the road, besides, damage is the least of our worries, Tails." He said, wanting to get there as fast as possible, Tails hadn't seen Sonic so focused before, the Battle Bikes didn't mind the long stretch of road either, communicating electronically through their minds, they had finally got to see the outside world they dreamed of seeing since put in storage for so long.

The damage in Knothole was worse than you would think, buildings and houses were destroyed, the civilians were being chased and cornered like wild animals, and it wasn't a pun, either. A brown rabbit about Tails's age was holding a Chao doll that her mother made for her, a Motobug Badnik was getting closer and closer, the rabbit began to cry for help. Suddenly, the motobug was sliced in half, the rabbit looked to see who her heroes were. "Take it easy, kiddo, we're not gonna hurt you." It was Sonic and Tails in their ranger forms, the young rabbit was startled but happy that the two rangers rescued her. "Thank you, but my mommy's in trouble." She said, starting to cry, Sonic saw this and comforted her. "We'll save her, don't worry, go hide until all the Badniks are gone. We promise that we'll save her." He told her, and she hid like he told her to.

"Ready to give it all we got?" Sonic asked, Tails nodded. "You bet! We still have a job to do, and we have to find the girl's mom." Sonic and Tails got back on their Power Cycles. It wasn't just Motobugs chasing the civilians, Buzzbombers were attacking from the air as well, chasing the civilians. Sonic and Tails arrived just in time as Sonic plowed through the Motobugs, Tails shot the Buzzbombers down, but more kept coming, but it wasn't a problem for either rangers. "Hey Tails, I bet if we had more rangers, this would be more easier." Sonic said half jokingly, Tails chuckled. "Yeah, a bit of help would be nice every now and then, but I think we can handle it for now." He replied.

Luckily, there were fewer badniks, but the two rangers were getting worn out, suddenly a scream came from above, an older brown rabbit was being carried by a remaining Buzzbomber that wasn't shot down, this didn't go unnoticed by the two rangers. "That must be the kid's mom! Step on it Tails, we made a promise to the kid and we won't let her down." Sonic said furiously, yet trying to keep his cool, Tails nodded. "Right, I don't want her to be without family, either." With that, they sped off with in pursuit of the Buzzbomber.

"Sonic, Tails, the badnik's getting away, you have to come up with a plan!" Cried Alpha 5 over the communicator, Sonic thought for a moment before coming up with an idea. "Tails, I have a plan, you and I will split up, I'll continue chasing the Badnik while you speed ahead, make a u-turn and charge it head on, but we have to be careful, the mom might get hurt if we miss that Badnik." He explained, Tails nodded, he understood Sonic's plan. "Got it!" He sped past the Buzz Bomber and did a u-turn and surprised the buzz Bomber, making it drop the rabbit, Sonic's Power Cycle jumped for it's rider to catch the rabbit, and Sonic was successful, The Buzz Bomber was finally blasted to pieces by Tails as Sonic's Power Cycle landed safely. "you okay, ma'am?" Sonic asked, the rabbit was shaken, but nodded. "Yes, thank you, but who are you?" She asked, Tails responded. "We're the Power Rangers, we'll protect Mobius like we protected Earth many years ago, you can count on us to save your home because it's our home as well." He replied, the rabbit was confused, but didn't have time as the three arrived back at Knothole.

"Here's your stop ma'am, we promised your daughter that we'd save you, and here she comes..." Sonic said as he saw the rabbit ran towards the three at the same speed Sonic usually did before he got the Morpher, the little rabbit jumped into her mother's arms. "Mommy, I'm so happy you're alright." She said, happy that her mother was alright. "So am I, my sweet Chocolate. I'm just happy that you're safe." The mother said letting tears run down her cheeks, Sonic and Tails looked at each other in confusion, then they looked the mother. "Um, excuse me, ma'am, but what's your name?" Sonic asked, the mother looked at Sonic. "My name's Butterscotch, and this is my daughter, Chocolate. We're glad that you saved us and everyone else here in Knothole." She said with gratitude in her voice. "We're glad to help defend you everyone from Eggman's badniks." Tails replied, then looked at Butterscotch with curiosity. "By the way, how is it that your daughter is able to run that fast?" He asked, Butterscotch laughed heartily.

"Oh, that. Her father was a hedgehog, he and I met when we were kids, and several years later when Robotnik invaded Mobotropolis, we had Chocolate. My husband left to travel the world and write about the places he'd visit, he promised that he would return in a few years, when Eggman showed up, I began to worry about my husband's safety, I do hope he's alright." She said with worry present in her voice, Sonic held her in his arms as Butterscotch wept over his shoulder. "I'm sure he's alright, he'll get back in time to be there for your daughter to see him again, you'll never know when the surprise will come, be it in shape or form." Sonic said, wisdom very much in his voice, Tails smiled behind his helmet, knowing Sonic was right. "Well, I think it's time we head back, don't you think, Green?" He asked, Sonic nodded, catching on quickly to the little nickname. "Oh yeah, that's right, Blue, I completely forgot." He let Butterscotch and Chocolate down. "Let's not make this a habit every time, please? We need to watch for trouble, so Blue and I need to keep track of Eggman." He said, almost ready to go, when Butterscotch grabbed his shoulder. "Hold on, I just need to ask you something." Sonic and Tails weren't ready for the question Butterscotch was about to ask. "Did you really think I was fooled by your appearance as the Green Ranger, Sonic?" Both rangers were shocked, how did she know?

They decided to come clean. "Okay, you caught us, but you have to keep it a secret, alright?" Sonic asked, Butterscotch smiled. "I will, but you have to show me anyway in order to keep me quiet about your secret." She said, not even letting go of her grip on Sonic's arm. He sighed in defeat. "Alright, We'll take you and Chocolate with us, but just this once." He pulled out his communicator. "Alpha, we've got two civilians coming with us, so please try to understand, I hope you're not mad." He said with worry, Alpha was surprisingly calm for an advanced robot. "I saw everything, there's no problem, and I'm not mad, besides, we did have civilians come into the command center during emergencies, but we never let them find out the identities of the rangers, besides, I was able to get out of the command center once or twice, I only got in trouble once, and let's say I was grounded. I know, it's odd, but it happened." Sonic and Tails tried to keep themselves from laughing, but obviously failed. "I can hear you laughing." Alpha said, immediately shutting the two rangers up, and in a flash, they were all teleported into the command center.

Butterscotch and Chocolate were frightened at the sight of Alpha 5, but once sonic and Tails explained that Alpha wasn't built by Eggman, they grew more friendly toward him.

"Sorry about the scare, you two, I...well...I haven't been outside in years, and I haven't actually had visitors since today." Alpha said, While not happy with what Zordon would say to him if he found out, but Zordon had been killed years ago, leaving the poor robot and his successors without someone to be an aide to. Oh boy, I'm glad Zordon's not here or he would have my metal hide for this, all the same, I wish he had stayed alive, but then again, that would have been a selfish wish. He thought, he wouldn't have wished for it anyway.

"Aw, I feel sorry for you, Alpha, I wish we would come and visit you every day." Chocolate said, feeling bad for the robot. "So do I, is there anyway we can contact you?" Butterscotch asked, Alpha looked excited, he went over to the command center's consoles and picked up two communicators and gave them to the two rabbits. "Your own communicators, there are two buttons, one is for, well communicating, and the other is to teleport you to the command center when it's an emergency." Alpha explained, the two rabbits understood and learned how to operate their communicators, and were given the long version of the history of the Power Ranger teams, leaving their heads full, and were given headaches.

It was almost time for everyone to return home, well, except for Alpha 5, since he was really lonely, Butterscotch and Chocolate were already at their home, Sonic and Tails stopped by his home, they were talking about the days events. "Wow, today's been full of surprises, huh, Tails?" He asked, Tails laughed. "Yeah, though, I'm still worried about what Eggman would do if he sends another wave of Badniks after us." He said worriedly, Sonic chuckled. "I bet Eggman doesn't know who the Power Rangers are, I mean he's still ticked about what happened today. Though, knowing him, he's always coming up with some lame plan to rule Mobius. Seriously, he never did think things through, and are you sure your parents are okay with you staying the night over at my house?" He asked, Tails smiled. "Yep, they're okay with me staying at your house as long as I need to, I still need to study for tomorrow's test." He replied. Sonic chuckled. "Well, I think you're welcome to do so." He said as he opened the door.

"Hey everyone, we're home." Sonic called as his parents came out. "Sonic, my boy, how was school, and where were you?" Uncle Chuck asked with hearty laughter, Sonic chuckled, knowing he'd technically tell everyone the truth, but neither he nor Tails could fully explain their secret identities as the newest Power Rangers, so he improvised. "We went to Freedom Fighter HQ, and fought off Eggman's Badniks, Knothole's safe again. But we did have help from another group, they're called the Power Rangers, they helped us save the civilians as well." He said, Charles and Bernie were satisfied, but Jules wasn't so sure that his son was telling the truth, he did however hear that the rangers were real and did save Knothole, that he couldn't fault his son for being truthful. "I see, I'll have a talk with you later, Sonic, by the way, have you got any homework?" He asked, Sonic rubbed the back of his head, he knew that he didn't have any homework, but he knew Tails needed help studying. "Actually, Tails does, his parents were okay with him being able to study over here, So I thought I'd help him out." He explained, knowing that the studying part wasn't made up.

His parents, nor Charles, could deny that answer. "Okay, go help Tails study, but remember, wash your hands before supper." Bernie said, playfully slapping her son's right arm. "Yes ma'am." Sonic said, smiling as he took Tails up to his room to study, it took them up to thirty minutes to study, and by the time they were finished, they were called downstairs for supper.

The next morning came, it was anything but peaceful, School was busy today, Tails knew he'd do well, today was the test, he noticed Amy next to him, She was ready as well, and turned his attention to his paper. It took a bit of time, but everyone was done and handed in their test papers, the bell rang and everyone was done for the day.

Just as tails was about to leave, his arm was grabbed by Amy. "Hey tails, what's up?" She asked friendly, Tails was not going to get away from her. "Oh nothing." He lied, Amy didn't believe him one bit, but decided to play dumb, anyway. "So, what's on the activity list for today? Building more inventions?" She asked, Tails was about to lie again until Amy noticed his communicator. "Ooh, what's this button do?" She asked, touching the teleport button, bringing both of them into the command center. "Where are we? A new Freedom Fighter base?" She asked, looking around the room.

"Uh...not exactly." Tails said, wondering if he should tell Amy the truth as she looked at the Pink Ranger suit and Morpher. "Wow, looks similar to the Green and Blue Rangers." She said observing the suit. "Uh...yeah..." Tails was starting to get nervous, he was lucky that Amy was looking at the suit and the Morpher, but his luck soon ran out the door as Amy put two and two together. "Tails, why didn't you tell me that you were the Blue Ranger?" she asked, Tails knew that his cover was blown.

"Um, we didn't want you to uh...you know...freak out. I'm sorry we didn't tell you about this, we had to keep it a secret." He said, looking even more sorry than before. Amy was now confused. "And who's the Green Ranger, Tails?" She asked, not even knowing that Sonic was the Green Ranger, Tails didn't know that Sonic was coming in and Amy was going to find faster than he thought. And as if on cue, Sonic teleported in, and saw Amy. "Of all the times you had to pick, Ames, you picked the most awkward timing to find out." He knew what he said was right because it was the most awkward situation they had ever been in until Alpha 5 came in. "Well, I see you brought someone new." He said, earning a boot to the head from Amy, literally.

Amy looked at Alpha, realizing what she just did and helped Alpha back up. "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Must have been my reflexes." Alpha looked dizzy for a moment, but soon gained his vision back. "No worries, any way, I'm glad you're here." He explained, Amy looked confused as to why she was here. "Why am I here exactly?" She asked forgetting that she was furious at Tails, and was wondering why she kept staring at the Pink Ranger suit. "Well, I've been searching the globe and wouldn't you know it? I found Sonic and Tails, I've been watching them, and I admit you're part of the next generation to become a Power Ranger." Alpha explained, Amy continued to look at the suit and the Morpher. "So that's why I feel so attracted to these, it's like it's my destiny to be a Power Ranger." then she had a thought. "Does anyone beside ourselves know that we're Power Rangers?" Nobody but sonic answered. "Two actually, but they promised not to tell anyone." He explained as Butterscotch and Chocolate teleported in and saw Amy. "Let me guess, she was chosen?" Butterscotch asked, Alpha nodded. "Yes, but I received a literal boot to the head." Sonic looked at Butterscotch. "She kicked him in the head." He translated for Alpha to help Butterscotch and Chocolate to understand better.

Sirens blared as the rangers and non-rangers looked at the viewing globe, Squad of Badniks were terrorizing the citizens of Knothole again but this time, they weren't after the citizens, they were organized. "Eggman's stepping up his game, and he's actually there this time." Sonic observed, actually seeing Eggman on the viewing globe. "We've got to do something!" Amy exclaimed, grabbing the Morpher, and instinctively morphed into the Pink Ranger. "Well I won't question the color, but I like the results." She said as the Sonic and Tails morphed into their respective ranger forms as the Battle Bikes came out, Amy saw that the blue Battle Bike had a sidecar attached to it. "Why is there a sidecar on that motorcycle?" She asked, the Battle Bike was offended and roared it's engine at Amy, startling her. Tails came by and soothed the Battle Bike while looking Amy. "The Battle Bike's no ordinary motorcycle, it's alive, and it and several others like it haven't seen the light of day until yesterday." Tails explained, Amy was about to respond until Sonic cut her off. "No time Amy, get in, we'll answer questions later." He said, wanting to hurry, Amy looked at Butterscotch. "We'll be safe, You won't have to worry, we'll be watching from here." She reassured the Pink Ranger.

The rangers were on their way to Knothole village. "So, do we retain our abilities?" She asked, Tails nodded. "No, we don't. The suits were not designed for speed, but they were made for strength, durability, stamina, and power, that's why these suits weren't built for speed." He explained.

When the rangers got there, the damage was not as bad as yesterday, they saw Eggman floating in mid air. "Why hello, rangers. Nice of you to drop by." He mocked, the rangers weren't happy. "Beat it Eggman, you're not welcome here after what happened last time." Sonic Shouted, not even fazed by the mocking.

"Well, not that it matters, but I need something that's here in this pathetic village." he said in a hateful tone, the rangers were confused. "Why would you even need it?" Amy asked, clearly not in the mood for talking, she was about ready to smash the Egg Mobile. "Well, when the original Robotnik found it, he wanted to weaponize it, but never got the chance when he was kicked out." He explained, Sonic looked ready to fight, but restrained himself before Eggman made his move. "And there's another thing, he knew it was a large rainbow crystal, which he called the Zeo crystal." Sonic and Tails froze at the words "Zeo Crystal", Amy wasn't aware of it's existence, but now that she knew, she looked ready to defend the crystal at all cost. "You're not getting your grubby hands on it!" She shouted, pulling out her Power Bow, Eggman looked like he was ready to give out the order, but he thought of an idea. "You think that You stand a chance against me? Well, turns out I came prepared." He said, pressing a button, a ship from the Egg fleet appeared and opened it's cargo bay and out came a bot that Sonic and Tails recognized. "No way...it can't be." Sonic and Tails gasped, It turned out to be none other than E.V.E.

Eggman laughed. "Like what I did? I simply revived her through the process of building another version her like I did with Metal Sonic, she's much more powerful now!" He boasted, but he wasn't done, another bot came out, he looked like Metal Sonic but he wasn't. "Say hello to Metal Scourge , where the first version failed, he can do better." Sonic wasn't surprised. "Gotta say it, Eggman, you're really using new versions of old bots, one that betrayed Robotnik, another that failed and was never used again. This plan of yours is recycled, and bad." He snapped, Eggman laughed again. "If you think that's bad, then check this out!" The last bot was what everyone feared, it was Mecha Sonic himself. Sonic had never seen a tactic such as this, rebuilding bots that have been destroyed was one thing, but building a separate clone other than Metal Sonic was something he had seen before, but it wasn't Mecha Sonic, and he knew it. He knew that he was glad that he wasn't Mecha Sonic for a third time, and would obviously destroy the three bots and send Eggman packing, and he knew what to do.

"Guys, change of plans, the civilians aren't our only priority, we have to stop Eggman from getting the Zeo crystal, and destroy the bots. Pink, go after E.V.E, you're the only one who hasn't fought her." He ordered, Amy nodded. "Right, just leave her to me!" She said, going after her target.

"Blue, Think you can handle Metal Scourge on your own?" Sonic asked, Tails nodded. "Yeah, let me at 'em." Sonic smiled behind the helmet. "Go get 'em." He said as Tails charged toward Metal Scourge.

"It's just you and me now, Mecha." He said to the robotic copy. "Strange, you say it as if this is our last battle. I feel like we know each other, yet I don't know you." the robot mused, Sonic knew that his counterpart was right, Mecha didn't have his memories. "You're right, but look at it in my point of view, the previous version of you was actually a Mobian roboticized and used by Robotnik in those days, you're a fully sentient robot, that's what made you different from the original. Mecha, you were given free will, yet Eggman doesn't even know you formed your own personality despite being programmed to destroy me and the others, I don't know how, but I think Metal Sonic and Pseudo Sonic surpassed even you." He said, trading punches and blows with Mecha.

Mecha Sonic was having trouble with his thoughts as he was fighting Sonic, his mind was clouded with what Sonic had said. Was he more than capable of being programmed to destroy living beings? He tried to fight it, but the questions kept coming into his electronic brain. Was he even capable of free will? This caused him to stagger back, and Sonic noticed, both stopped fighting. two questions Mecha had repeated in his mind, who were Met and Pseudo Sonic and why did he have a personality? He tried to think straight, but he heard Eggman try to give him orders, he looked at Eggman, then to sonic, it was clear that he was confused, torn between what he was supposed to do and find the answer, then the robot made up his mind. "Maybe you're right, Green Ranger, I have to face what and who I am, but it doesn't change the fact that you and I are separate, Sonic." he said turning to face Eggman. "You hear me, Eggman? Like my predecessors before me, I refuse to follow your orders." The sudden betrayal of Mecha Sonic was enough to anger the doctor,Metal Scourge and Tails stopped fighting to see the doctor fume. "I wonder what he's angry about." Metal Scourge wondered, Tails had an idea of why Sonic had gotten through to Mecha Sonic. "Probably because Mecha was conflicted what what he was told, maybe he decided to go against Eggman." He theorized, he had no idea of how right he was.

Amy and E.V.E were still fighting, focused only on their battle, they hadn't noticed what was going on. "You're good Pink Ranger, I'll give you that, but you haven't seen my true form, yet." E.V.E remarked, she tried transforming to her final form, but she couldn't. "What's going on? Why can't I access my final form?!" She shouted, Amy was confused until she came to a conclusion. "Maybe Eggman did something to remove it from your design as a failsafe mechanism due to how you betrayed Robotnik the first time." She said, confusing E.V.E. "What do you mean? I have no memory of betraying anyone, and who is Robotnik?" She said, confused. Amy could see that that the Eve she was fighting wasn't the original. "Then you're a downgrade of the original E.V.E. From what Sonic told me, the original Eve destroyed herself afterwards." Amy said, realizing that E.V.E would go berserk.

Like Mecha Sonic, she was conflicted, the only difference between to two was that Mecha made up his mind, E.V.E, however, refused to believe what Amy told her. Like Amy predicted, E.V.E went berserk, trashing wildly with Amy narrowly dodging and avoiding the punches and kicks. E.V.E was losing her sanity way too fast. Amy jumped high in the air with her Power Bow loaded, and had three arrows lined up, ready to be shot. "You had the chance to stop the fight, E.V.E, but you're far to dangerous to be left alive, you brought this upon yourself!" She shouted,and fired as Eve's armor was pierced by the three arrows, one on each shoulder, and one right through the head, bringing the female robot down Amy turned around letting out a sigh of relief. "Well, now that she's down and out, I can..." She never finished as she was surrounded surrounded by other Badniks. "Of course you realize, this means war." She said, now getting five arrows for her Power bow to increase the chance of hitting more targets.

Over with Sonic and Tails, Mecha Sonic was dodging the laser blast, but had a hard time landing a blow on the Egg moblile, Eggman had a much easier doding Mecha's shots and had an equally had a hard time hitting Mecha Sonic, Sonic had enough and decided to help instead of just sitting by and watch. "Time for reinforcements." He said as he stood beside Mecha. "I didn't ask for your help,this is my fight against Eggman!" Mecha snarled, Sonic chuckled. "Well I hate burst your bubble, but if you and Eggman kept dodging each other, the village would be rubble by now, besides, you need help, and you can't take no for an answer, you know." He explained, Mecha thought for a moment before taking his counterpart's words into consideration. "Alright, but just this once." he said, he didn't like it, but he knew that desperate times called for desperate measures, an in Sonic's case, he was willing to help his counterpart, not that Mecha would admit it, but he did need it.

Tails and Metal Scourge looked on at the fight. "Aren't you going to stop them from attacking Eggman?" Tails asked, Metal Scourge was really not in the mood. "Nah, I figured I'd let them duke it out." He said lazily, Tails looked in disbelief. "Aren't you loyal to him?" Tails asked again, Metal scourge looked at him. "Hey, when you're rebuilt a second time, you don't stay loyal for long, ask Metal Sonic the next time you face him. And besides, I'm not gonna be there every time you guys fight the boss or his robots, y'know." He explained, Tails looked back at the fight.

Sonic and Mecha were soon nearing the end of the fight, but Sonic was getting worn out, Tails decided to step in, he wasn't going to let his best friend be killed, "Power Lance!" He shouted, effectively throwing the Power Lance at Eggman's mobile, puncturing a hole in it. "No! Curse you!" Eggman yelled, Metal Scourge knew that it was time to retreat. "Boss, it's time for a tactical retreat." He warned, but Eggman wouldn't have it. "No! Not until we retrieve the Zeo crystal." He shouted, Metal Scourge thought other wise. "Would you rather think about your own well being? Besides, I don't see E.V.E, she must have been defeated by the Pink Ranger." And he was right, E.V.E was nowhere to be found, during the battle, Amy beat her, and without anyone's notice, E.V.E's remains were teleported off to the command center. "We've lost, boss, the Zeo crystal belongs to them now." Metal said, turning to Mecha Sonic. "When we next meet, we're now rivals, Mecha." He called out to Mecha Sonic, Mecha smirked. "And I'll be waiting to face off against you in our next encounter." He said, wanting to get the chance to fight Metal Scourge again. Begrudgingly, Eggman was about to leave, but not before he could leave with a threat. "This isn't over, Power Rangers, I'll destroy you when we next meet!" He really meant it as he left for the Egg Carrier with Metal Scourge, the Egg Carrier left Knothole.

"Well, we won, but what did Eggman want with the Zeo crystal?" Amy asked as Mecha Sonic replied. "He wanted to use the Zeo crystal domination of Mobius, he's not very perceptive of traitors among him, me and Metal Sonic respectively." He explained, Sonic nodded. "Well, we ought to find the Zeo crystal before anyone anyone does." He said, looking at the damaged town. "And while we do that, we better help the citizens rebuild Knothole." He got no farther when Alpha contacted him. "What's up, Alpha?" He asked, Alpha's voice came through. "I'll give you a break once you find the Zeo crystal, I can repair Knothole, besides, I've got help." The rangers looked at each other, but knew that Alpha was being truthful, Mecha Sonic didn't know who Alpha was.

It took thirty minutes for everyone to search for the Zeo crystal, and it was frustrating, Sonic eventually came to his home, he didn't want to attract attention as the Green Ranger, but he didn't get the chance to demorph as his father opened the door. "Hello, Green Ranger, I honestly didn't think you would show up. I believe you were looking for something?" He said, handing out the Zeo crystal, Sonic's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Uh...Yeah...thanks." He looked ready to faint, Jules chuckled. "Just remember that I'm proud of you, son." He said, surprising his son. "How..." Sonic trailed before his father spoke again. "Did I know? Easy, I could tell that you were hiding something, same with Tails, you both weren't really telling the truth, I came by to Freedom Fighter HQ and asked Sally if she saw you, and she told me you weren't there when Knothole was attacked, I am disappointed in you for lying, but I guess you had to for the right reasons, and for that, I'm proud of you." He said, proud of his son. Now it was Sonic's turn to ask. "How did you even have the Zeo crystal?" He asked, Jules chuckled. "Well, you can thank Charles for that, he snuck it out without Robotnik's knowledge, plus, we knew the crystal would be misused if in the wrong hands, so we tasked Rosie to keep it out of sight until Robotnik was gone for good, and we got it in the basement after King Acorn returned, it's been gathering dust up til today." He explained.

Sonic gave a sigh of relief. "Well, that takes care of that problem. but why? Did mom know?" He asked, his father nodded. "Yes, but she doesn't know that you're the Green Ranger." Sonic nodded, he knew that his father was right. "At least we're the only ones who know, Still, why is the Zeo crystal common knowledge to everyone in our family? And more importantly, why didn't you tell me about this?" He asked, His father was silent a few moments before he could speak. "I tried to, son, but with all these attacks going on, I was either deciding on telling you or keep it a secret until you were old enough, but since Eggman's attack yesterday, I kept thinking about our future, I decided to give it to you when you were alone, hence why Eggman attacked again today." He explained, Sonic looked In thought before deciding to tell the whole truth. "Well I know I haven't been honest with you guys, but the truth is, Tails and I were teleported to a building that looked like it was made to be a command center, and it literally was, Tails and I found the Morphers and suits of the original rangers, we were found out by a mother and her daughter, she obviously found out yesterday by rescuing her, Amy found out today and became the Pink Ranger, I'm obviously the Green Ranger as you already knew minutes ago." He said, making his father laugh. "Oh man, and what color is tails? Red? Black? Yellow?" he asked, Sonic smiled. "Blue, actually, I also find it ironic, myself. Anyway, the fight today got me and the others an ally." He said, Jules looked at him in curiosity. "Who is it?" He asked.

Sonic got a little nervous. "Well... Eggman had built three robots, and one I was familiar with rebelled, and his name was Mecha Sonic." He explained, hoping his father wouldn't freak out, in fact, Jules was smiling. "Well, not only are you gifted in leadership, but you're quite the speaker in terms of getting them to think. I guess Mecha Sonic is separate from you now?" He asked, Sonic smiled. "Yeah, I convinced him to overcome his programming, I could feel that he had a personality in his mind and all it took for him was decide, and boy what treat, he made Eggman mad!" This sent the two hedghogs to the floor, laughing until They calmed down. "Well, how am I going to explain to them that you know?" Sonic asked unsure of how the others would react, his father had the answer. "Well, we'll tell them what I know and how I found out, Don't know about Mecha, though. He might mistake me for Eggman's robots." He said, knowing it would be a possible outcome.

The two came back to the battlefield and saw the others, and after some explaining and convincing, Jules was accepted, surprisingly enough, Mecha looked to him as his own father, which made him proud. Sonic's communicator went off. "Yeah Alpha?" He answered, Alpha let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, I thought you went of the radar, I went nuts trying to contact you." Alpha said, feeling very nervous, Sonic felt embarrassed. "Sorry about that, but my family had the Zeo crystal all this time, and we didn't even know it, I'll fill you in when we get back, and my dad knows." he said, feeling nervous, and sweating bullets.

"Peachy." Alpha mumbled, he was getting annoyed at this rate. "Just get back here, you guys, I'm starting to get an equivalent of a headache, I'll teleport you the Mastodon Battle Bike." And like he said, the Mastodon Battle Bike was teleported to the location, just as the Mastodon Battle Bike had arrived, Knothole was restored in minutes, Everyone marveled at the sight before heading to the command center.

"Well, Jules Hedgehog, we meet for the first time." Alpha 5 said as he held out his hand, Jules returned the same gesture and shook hands. "Well, it's a pleasure to see the mentor my son's been with yesterday." Alpha laughed. "Oh no, I'm not his mentor, I'm just an assistant, but your son's experience at taking down Eggman's bots is simply amazing." He said, Jules laughed. "Well, he has a knack for smashing them, and I heard that you're also older than all of us." He said, Alpha nodded. "Well that is true, still, I have an idea." He whispered to Jules about his idea, Jules chuckled, and looked over at his son. "Sonic, I never told you about a second uncle." He said, this got Sonic's attention. "Really? Who is he?" He asked, Jules chuckled. "Well, he's the husband of Butterscotch, and the father of Chocolate." he explained, getting not only Sonic's reaction, but tails and Amy's as well, Mecha Sonic was the only one who wasn't confused, but he was surprised, but not as much as the rangers were, in fact, he was smiling. "Well who would'a thought? That's cool." He said as Chocolate hugged him. "Yay! I've got two cousins!" She cheered happily, Mecha returned the hug.

Sonic was the first to break out of his stupor. "Wait, all this time and you never told me?" He asked thinking that this was a dream. "You were too young to remember, and no, you're not dreaming. Your uncle's name was Jason Scott Hedgehog, and as we found out, he was the reincarnation of the the first Red Ranger, Jason Lee Scott, he's also you mother's bother." Jules continued, Sonic was having a hard time taking it in, but this was sonic, he could handle anything. "Well, that's not what I expected, but that's way past cool, an uncle who's a reincarnation of the the first Red Ranger." He said, Butterscotch giggled. "He taught me the basics of martial arts, and I'm glad I learned from the best husband in the world." She also laughed. "That makes me Vanillia's twin sister." Everyone looked at her like she was revealing something they hadn't heard of before. "Well, it's true, Vanilla's my twin sister and Cream's my niece, in fact look on the family tree." She said, prompting Jules to look up their family history, and what he found was interesting. "Well, I hadn't expected this, but it's true, we are related, Sonic and Mecha." He brought them over, the two looked on the newly installed monitor, Sonic snickered. "Boy, I didn't know Butterscotch was a rebel back in her day." He laughed, Mecha chuckled. "Neither did I, but I guess that proves we're all stubborn to the core." He replied, Butterscotch laughed like crazy. "Yeah, Vanilla was quiet and shy when we were kids, but I didn't expect her to get a get a boyfriend when she was sixteen, boy, was I jealous. That's where I met Jason, mind you, Vanilla and I were twins at the same age." She pointed over to a image of her and Jason, then pointed to an image of both on their wedding day. "Oh the memories, and things were getting good a few years later, until Robotnik turned against us on the day our daughter was born." She said, remembering the day when Chocolate was born during Robotnik's siege on Mobotropolis." She said, remembering everything, Tails realized something, he had to tell Butterscotch. "I was born on the same day, Mrs. Butterscotch, I was born the day he invaded Mobotropolis." He said, shocking Butterscotch. "My word, you're the same age as Chocolate." She said, Chocolate hugged tails, giggling happily. "I always wanted a boyfriend." She said, making Tails blush, Butterscotch shook her head. "No, not until you're sixteen." She said, not wanting her daughter to rush things. "Aw..." Chocolate pouted, Everyone but the two young teens laughed.

"Well, We better head back, everyone." Jules said, but before he and the others could leave, Alpha 5 called out to him. "Wait, Mecha can't go out looking like that!" He said, Mecha Sonic agreed with him. "He's right, people might recognize all of you despite not being in your ranger forms, I'd be chased out the moment they see me." He said, Sonic looked at Alpha. "Is there a way to turn Mecha into a Mobian?" He asked, Alpha began to think, he paced for a few moments, until he came up with an idea. "It's possible, if I can make a deroboticizer, then chances are it would only have one use and one use, only." Everyone looked at Mecha. "Well, I think this idea would work, I'll stay behind to help him." He said, then another voice came out of nowhere. "As will I." It sounded female, and it was too recognizable, a robotic female figure came out, Sonic was the only one who would recognize the female robot. "E.V.E? How are you back?" He asked, Amy looked ready to bring out her Piko hammer, but Tails stopped her from doing so. "Sonic, I remember our last encounter, and my death was temporary, Thanks to Alpha 5 for saving my consciousness and memories, I know I had been silent the entire time, and I wish to ask for your forgiveness of my deceit, when Amy destroyed my downgraded clone, Alpha brought it here for me to rebuild it into the body you last saw me in. I no longer posses the ability to fly, but I can walk on two legs now." She explained,Sonic smiled, he knew that this was the E.V.E he remembered. "You don't have to ask, I've already forgiven you, E.V.E." He said, smiling.

Amy calmed down knowing that this wasn't the E.V.E she fought hours ago. "Well, if she won't kill us, then she's alright in my book." She said, knowng that E.V.E would accept the comment as praise and approval. Tails Nodded. "Well, I for one accept her into our team, even if she's not a ranger." He said, E.V.E smiled warmly. "Thank you, Tails. I'll give my life to protect Mobius, plus, I have plans from the old roboticizer design that Rotor made from a few years ago." She said, Sonic nodded. "How long will it take to build the deroboticizer?" He asked, All three robots looked at each other, then Alpha responded. "It'll take all night, but it'll be worth the wait." He said, gaining voices of approval. Jules then waited until it was time. "Alright, Sonic, if you and everyone else are ready, we need to be home right about now." He said, no longer wanting to wait.

"Alright, dad, we'll go." He said, not wanting to make his father even more impatient, he instructed everyone to to hold on while they teleported. And when they were just a few miles outside of Knothole, they ended up in a tangled mess of a pile, it took two minutes before Amy could use her Piko hammer to get everyone to get off her, Everyone got back to their respective homes, well, almost everyone, Butterscotch and Chocolate stayed with Jules and Sonic as they were at the door. "Are you sure that Mom and uncle Chuck won't notice? I mean they're bound to notice that the Zeo crystal is missing." Sonic said, worried about what would happen. "Don't worry, I'll tell them that the Power Rangers came over and asked for the crystal to be put in their base." Jules explained, he opened the the door, only for his his wife to tackle him while crying. "Where have you been? We were so worried that you went missing." She said, sobbing like crazy, Charles was calmer than she was. "Yes, but aside from the fact that you went missing, the Zeo crystal is also missing." he said, getting suspicious, Jules chuckled. "Don't worry, the Power Rangers came over today, and they asked for the Zeo crystal, they told me it originally belonged to them before they lost it, and I gave it to them for safe keeping." He explained, technically telling the truth, Charles seemed to believe part of it. "Alright, but you'll have to tell me where you went." He said, still being suspicious.

Bernie got up and off her husband before he could pick himself up, Jules knew there was nothing he could get away from, especially Charles, he walked over his brother and leaned toward him. "I'll tell you later." He whispered, Charles nodded. Bernie looked over to Butterscotch and gasped. "Butterscotch?" She asked, not believing what she was seeing. "Yep, it's me Berns." She said, smiling, happy to see her sister in law again for the first time in years. "How's Jason? Is he alive?" Bernadette asked, not even aware that her brother was alive. "Oh he is, but he was traveling around the world for years, I just got the letter this morning that he was coming home tomorrow." Both mothers were squealing in happiness as they hugged each other.

Sonic chuckled, so did his father and uncle, Chocolate let out tears of happiness and joy, it was the first time she would get to see her father in years.

It was time for everyone to go to bed, Charles led his brother down to the basement. "Well, you said you'd tell me later, and later is now, Jules. Is it really true that the Zeo crystal did belong to the Power Rangers?" He asked, Jules nodded. "Yes, but there's more to it than that..." He said, and before he could continue, Sonic jumped in. "Sorry, I overheard you conversation and decided to drop in." He said, Charles looked at his brother and nephew. "Hmm, I'm beginning to think that Sonic's been hiding something, Isn't he?" He asked, he knew he wasn't accusing Sonic of and he knew it to be true. Sonic started to regret dropping in on the conversation, and like his father, he knew wasn't going to get away from telling the truth, especially from his uncle, but his uncle had kept the truth from him before, and he felt that he should return the favor. "Alright, you deserve to know the truth." He said, his father looked at him, sonic looked back at his father as if telling him it would be alright, he looked back at Charles. "I haven't been telling the whole truth, uncle Chuck. I'm a Power Ranger." he confessed, Charles was shocked, but his shock wore off quickly. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, he turned to face his brother. "How long did you know about this?" He asked again, Jules replied. "I just found out today, Charles." He said, leaving his brother surprised, then he thought back to when he kept the truth from his nephew, he knew that this situation was like a few years ago, but under different circumstances. "Alright, but don't keep me out of the loop this time. I can't bare to lose anyone like I did with you and Bernie last time you two were roboticized." He said, not wanting to lose any of his family.

Unknown to them, Bernie heard everything, she stayed out of sight, it was a good thing her training during the war hadn't gone away. Butterscotch had found her instantly. "I thought I might find you here, Berns." She said, startling her sister in law. "Don't scare me like that, Butterscotch." Bernadette said with her heart pounding.

Butterscotch sighed, she knew that Bernadette was like a ninja, but easily startled. "I had a feeling you'd find out, but not this soon. I have to hand it to your son, he saved me two days ago." She explained, Bernadette sighed in relief. "I didn't know you were still around till today, and has it been that long? Sonic's been a Power Ranger for two days?" She asked, Butterscotch nodded. "Yep, it was easy for me to tell since he was the Green Ranger, he and Tails came in and Saved Knothole twice, the first time, we were being chased as if we were actual animals, today was with a robotic version of Sonic betraying Eggman, and he joined us, and now he's part of the family." She explained, Bernadette was shocked, had she been there, she would've already known.

"I guess this is like a few years ago when Sonic found out about us being roboticized, I guess it's fair that he's done the same, obviously to keep me and his father out of harm's way." She said, realizing that pushing her son away from her would make things bad, Butterscotch nodded again. "Yeah, Chocolate would be motherless if Sonic hadn't saved me, that would make things bad if it happened." She said, thinking if she had been roboticized, Bernie looked in thought, she knew Butterscotch was right.

In the basement, Things weren't much better, Sonic had to explain why that he convinced Mecha Sonic to betray Eggman to Charles, and to him, Mecha Sonic was just another machine, but Sonic wouldn't have any of that, by reminding his uncle about what he did, and Charles was losing the argument.

"Charles, you need to believe Sonic, he's telling the truth." Jules said, wanting the argument to end, Charles finally gave up. "You're right, I guess it's time I finally let go of my past, and come face to face with the present." He sighed in defeat, Sonic knew his uncle was right. "So how about tomorrow, uncle Chuck? I could take you to the command center." He offered, Charles thought about it for a moment before speaking. "Alright, let's hope Eggman doesn't attack us tomorrow." He said in hope.

Alpha had been watching through the viewing globe, he knew that everyone in the family finally knew about Sonic's identity as the Green Ranger. Well, I guess it's come full circle. He thought, as he began working on the deroboticizer with Mecha Sonic and E.V.E as things back in Knothole was quiet for the rest of the night.

The next day was a Saturday, Which meant no school, every Mobian that was a kid or teenager was happy that they got two days off from the schools they went to, and It was the day Jason came back home, he was a red hedgehog with white gloves and white shoes with red stripes, he looked at the town with nostalgia while looking at the changes made to the town. Well, the more things change, the more they stay the same. He thought as he walked down to Sonic's home, he knocked on the door to see Bernadette. "Hey sis, I'm home." He said, Bernadette hugged her brother, it had been so long since either had seen each other. "I missed you, Jason, come on in, someone's been wanting to see you again." She said, Jason laughed. "I guess so, are Butterscotch and Chocolate here?" He asked, he didn't expect to be pulled in by his sister, she let go of him. "They're in the living room." She said, smiling, and there he saw his wife and daughter, Chocolate ran over to him and hugged him.

Butterscotch smiled at her daughter's behavior, and walked over toy her husband, patting him on the shoulder. "Welcome back home, honey." she said, Jason smiled back. "It's good to be home." He said, looking at Jules."Well, I see you're still the same, but why, Jules?" he asked, Jules knew that Jason would want to know now rather than later. "Well, due to my injuries, I can't go back now because of them." He explained, Jason felt bad. "I shouldn't have asked, I'm sorry." He apologized, Jules comforted him. "Don't be, had I known earlier, I still wouldn't go back. By the way, remember Sonic?" He asked, Jason perked up at his nephew's name. "How's he doing?" He asked, Bernadette smiled. "He's doing alright, I think he's out visiting his friends, so he'll come by later today." She said, knowing where Sonic was at the moment.

At the command center, Sonic Tails, and Amy were ready to see Mecha Sonic become a Mobian. "Let's hope this goes well." Alpha said, hoping things would turn out okay, E.V.E nodded. "I feel the same way, let's hope there's no malfunctions." she said, checking for any malfunction in the system, Mecha was feeling nervous. "I hope this doesn't blow up on me." He said aloud, Alpha chuckled. "It won't, I ran through the program, and it's fine." He said, Mecha didn't think it would work but he didn't want to argue. He went through into the machine and it began to hum to life, it took ten minutes, but it was done, Mecha came out looking like a mixture of Sonic and Scourge, he had Sonic's body and color, Scourge's eye color, and a white version of Scourge's jacket. "I feel fantastic!" He said, jumping up and down in joy, the others looked happy that it worked.

Mecha looked at the White Ranger outfit and it's respective Morpher, he felt a connection to it, Alpha looked in anticipation, Sonic hoped mecha would take it, and Mecha did, he did the morph sequence without incident and became the White Ranger. "This is awesome! I feel like I could run ten laps in this suit." Everyone laughed at his comment.

"Well, I hate to be a wet blanket, but we've got to get home to meet up with uncle Jason." Sonic said, but before they could go, Alpha handed Mecha a communicator, after that, the four rangers were back in Knothole. And arrived at Sonic's home, they were in time to meet Jason. "Hey Sonic, I know it's been a long time, but it's good to see you again for the first time in years." He said shaking his nephew's hand, Sonic simled. "Yeah, I can't believe you're here." he said, Jason laughed. "I know, we have so much to talk about." He said, Sonic nodded. "Yeah, I guess we do." He said, and the their long conversation began, Mecha walked over to Amy. "So, I figured that you were into Sonic," He said, making the pink hedgehog blush. "I was, until you became a Mobian, I guess I'm over Sonic now." She said, now moving past her former crush, she smiled, though.

Mecha looked at Tails. "You have any idea what she's talking about?" He asked, Tails smiled. "Well, now that I think about it, Amy's been crushing on sonic for a few years, and well, since she's over Sonic, I think she's ready to move on. In this case, I think You may be her next crush, although, I think she'll go easy on you, I'm not a love expert, but I can tell that she'll be ready for a relationship in the future." He said, observing Amy's predicament. Mecha looked at Amy, then back at Tails. "Well, that's nice and all, but I don't think I'm ready for a relationship, yet. Maybe sometime in the future, but for now, I'll see how this plays out." He said, wondering if he and Amy will have that chance one day.

All was going well until another attack from Eggman's Badniks started, Sonic and the others were alerted to the attack, they had to get to somewhere in a safe place to morph, and once they did, they appeared where the Badniks were attacking the strangest thing was that there were ten Badniks, they found it odd, but since they knew it was Eggman, they had every right to worry, they got to the command center in time. "Alpha, the strangest thing happened, there were ten Badniks instead of the usual army." Sonic said, Alpha looked worried in his thoughts, he knew he had seen something like it before. "Eggman might be using the same tactics Rita and Zedd used against the original rangers years ago, that must be that the case, they always send a monster afterwards and it backfires on them half the time." He explained, Tails, being the one with intelligence, understood all of what Alpha had said, the others barely understood, but they got the message. "Alright, are you guys ready to go back out there and kick some Badnik butt?" He asked, the other rangers were more than ready. "You don't have to ask twice!" Tails replied, gaining some nods from Mecha and Amy. "We're in as well, bro." Mecha said, doing a fist pump, Amy giggled.

Sonic and the others proceeded to morph into their respective ranger forms, and before they were about to leave, Alpha stopped them. "Wait, there's something E.V.E and I want to show you." The rangers followed him to the Battle Bikes, there was another battle Bike as well, and it was based on Titanus, the Tigerzord, and the Falconzord. "This is the newest Battle Bike for our new ranger." He said, the new Battle Bike was armed to the teeth in missile launchers, it had two cannons placed above the wheels, and had a holster for Saba, Mecha liked his newest ride. "Sweet, I wanna take this thing out for a test drive." He said, the others were marveled as well. And just in time, too, Alpha looked in horror at the viewing globe. "Oh no, it's Crabby Cabbie!" He said in horror, the rangers looked at the viewing globe in thought, they turned to each other. "It's got to be Eggman." Amy said, The other rangers nodded. "Yeah, but how did he bring the monster back to life? There's no way he could have the proper tools and machines necessary to bring the monster back to life." Mecha replied, then he saw someone he recognized being chased by the monster. "Oh no, that's uncle Jason and Butterscotch! They're in danger!" Wasting no time, he ran to his new Battle Bike, Sonic and Tails followed suit with Amy getting in the side car.

Knothole was in danger as Crabby was chasing the married couple. "How did we get into this mess?" Jason asked his wife as Cabbie chased them. "I don't know, I'm usually the target all the time!" She said while trying to outrun the monster, Cabbie laughed like a maniac. "Give it up, you'll soon be Eggman's servants when I deliver you to him." He cackled, and before he could capture two, several blast hit Crabby Cabbie as he spun out of control, he regained his stability to see the rangers on their Battle Bikes. "Alright, Cabbie, you've had your fun, but now it's time to put a parking boot on you and send you to impound." Sonic declared as Crabby fumed. "You won't stop me, I've got a delivery to make once I deal with you." He said as he began a chase, the rangers chased after him. "We've gotta find a way to blow his tires out!" Sonic called out to the others. "If I may..." Saba began, getting the rangers attention. "We need to corner him once we split up and and find a way to find a vantage point to attack him by surprise and slow him down." He finished, the rangers though about Saba's plan before nodding. "We might just try it out, Saba." Sonic said, getting wiser by the second. "Tails, take Amy with you, you'll have an easier time trying to hit Cabbie from the left." He said, a plan formed in his head. "I'll try to challenge Cabbie, I know he'll try to cheat by attacking me outright, so when I pass him, you take his tires out of commission." He said, laying out the plan, Tails and Amy nodded and went left, Mecha knew what could come next. "Don't worry, I'll get him from the right." he said as he went off to the right.

"Well that leaves us with Cabbie, right buddy?" he asked, the Battle Bike growled in agreement. Cabbie was just about to speed off when Sonic stopped right in front of him. "Hold on, I want to offer you a race." He said, laying out the bait, Cabbie couldn't tell what Sonic and had planned. "And what kind of race are you talking about, ranger?" Sonic could see that Crabby was taking the bait. "How about this, if I win, you leave Knothhole alone, if you win, all the Mobians here will become Robians once more." He said, Cabbie looked like he was going to sing and dance, but he didn't, in fact, he figured that he was going to cheat in the race which is why he fell for it and took the bait, the monster hadn't known that he was falling into a trap. "Deal." He said, thinking that he fooled sonic into racing him, but Sonic knew that Crabby was going to cheat and fall for it, anyway.

"On your marks..." Sonic started, revving his Battle Bike's engine while Crabby revved his own. "Get set...GO!" He finished as the two began their so called "race", Tails and Amy were far up ahead with Mecha on the other side, waiting for Sonic to give the signal, Sonic was far ahead, but crabbie wasn't far behind, he wasn't going to let Sonic beat him as he sped up, Sonic was messing with his opponent's mind as he sped up, he knew that he was coming up in a few miles to where his fellow rangers had set up, then spring the trap on Crabby Cabbie. Just a little further. Sonic thought as he got closer and closer, Crabby Cabbie was really annoyed, he wasn't about to let the Green Ranger beat him at his own game. "I'll clobber you!" He shouted, readying a fist, but he was too late, they had entered the trap, both sides fired at his wheels, utterly destroying his tires, he fell the ground, but he got up looking furious. "YOU DESTOYED MY TIRES! No matter, I've still my arms and legs attached, but you're still going down for cheating." He snarled, the rangers laughed. "We figured that you'd try to cheat, so we made a plan to beat you at your own game." Sonic said, making the taxi-like monster angry.

The rangers began to surround him, then he chuckled darkly. "Have you forgotten that I have a cannon on top of me?" He asked with an evil smirk. "Well duh! You think we'd forget?" Amy mocked, Cabbie soon stopped smirking, he was so fixed on the pink and blue rangers, he hadn't noticed Mecha firing his Battle Bike's front cannons at Cabbie's own cannon, and felt it blown off.

Cabbie looked at what used to be his cannon, was now a pile of junk. He was fueled with rage. "THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU RUINING MY DELIVERY!" He screamed in rage. Above the planet's atmosphere, a satellite under Eggman's control let out a white beam that struck Crabby Cabbie and made him grow to the size of a Zord, fully back to what he was before, he cackled madly. "Now this is more like it!" He hollered, the rangers didn't know what to do. (AN: Yeah, this is likely going to happen more often later on in the story, but not for the rest of this chapter afterwards.)

A sound from the communicator alerted the rangers. "Go Alpha." Sonic said, wanting to hear a plan. "Rangers, the only available Zords we have right now are the Dragonzord and the Tigerzord, they are ready to go." Alpha said, Sonic and Mecha were happy to hear that. "Ready to take that oversized taxi down?" Mecha asked, Sonic chuckled. "I was born ready." He replied, taking out the Dragon Dagger, and began to play the familiar tune, the Dragonzord rose from the ocean floor. The other rangers were amazed. "Cool." Amy said in awe, Tails smiled. It was Mecha's turn as he and Saba were in sync. "I need Tigerzord power, now!" They called out, the Tigerzord was running through various mountain plains to to their location. Crabby Cabbie saw this, and wasn't fazed. "So what? I'll just destroy them." He said, the Dragonzord and the Tigerzord weren't damaged, but the explosions hit them from behind, Sonic and Mecha were rocked in their Zord's cockpits. "I felt that, you overgrown tin can." He snarled, he looked over to the Tigerzord. "Hey bro, you alright in there?" He asked.

Over in the Tigerzord's control room, Mecha had almost lost his balance, he was able to hold on the control panel. "I'm fine, almost lost my balance." he replied, then he looked at Crabby Cabbie. "You'll be toast once we're through with you!" He called out, then he and Saba were in sync once again. "Tigerzord, convert to warrior mode, now." The Tigerzord went through it's conversion to warrior mode as it stood tall and vigilant. "Now you're in for it." Sonic said as he brought out the Dragonzord's missiles and fired on Crabby, sending him flying a few feet before he crashed to the ground.

"Hey bro, Care to finish this oversized tin can?" Sonic asked Mecha smiled as he readied the Tigerzord, Crabby was getting up when he saw the Tigerzord getting ready. "uh-oh." He paled when Mecha called out the attack. "White lightning thunderbolt, launch!" With that, the attack hit Cabbie head on, then he fell over, and exploded, leaving noting of him behind.

The civilians looked at the two zords and cheered, back at Robotropolis, Eggman was fuming, but he calmed down quickly, smiling. "Those Power Rangers think they've won, but the battle's far from over. Thanks to Mammoth Mogul, I finally have a way for bringing back monsters from the past to fight those rangers." He said to himself, holding a book. "And once I get rid of them, all of Mobius will be mine." He laughed, causing an echo to be heard .

Back at the command center, Charles had been brought to see it all. "Amazing, all this Technology...why didn't we find it before?" He asked himself, Alpha heard the question, anyway. "Well, you never found the command center because it was well hidden. And it's where Downunda is as well." Charles looked in amazement at Alpha's explanation, but he still had a couple question he had unanswered, he decided to ask, anyway. "If you were here over the few thousand years ago, why didn't you help us in the war?" Alpha looked in thought, he hadn't thought of that. "Well...I think it's because of the Xorda, when Earth had been attacked, the humans had all but evacuated, some were still left on the planet, those that you knew were of Station Square. And during the war, I was busy with some task I was doing at the time like rebuilding some of the Zords that were destroyed years ago. Thankfully, I didn't have to rebuild all of them." He said, leading Charles to the Zord hanger bay, Charles was amazed to see the Zords. "Incredible, are there more of them?" He asked, Alpha nodded. "Yep. As you can see, the Zords have been part the rangers arsenal throughout the centuries." He said, walking past every Zord,Charles looked around, looking at the Zords that weren't in use. "Anything about those particular Zords?" He asked, pointing to the group of Zords that were lion and shark themed, but the only Zord that was incomplete was the Lion Mechazord, it's head was missing. "What's the deal with these three? I see the other two are complete, but where's the head to the third one's head?" He asked, Alpha looked at the Lion Mechazord, then he looked back at Charles. "I'm afraid that these Zords are missing their key component, a robot ranger that went by the name of Robo Knight, he formed the head of this Mechazord." He explained, Charles looked in thought, he never knew that robots could also be Power Rangers, then he wondered about what happened to Robo Knight. "Do you know where he is?" He asked, wondering if Alpha knew, sadly, he didn't.

"I don't know. I tried to find him after the Xorda invaded the first time, I tried contacting his creator, but even he didn't know. I've been keeping these Mechazords out of sight because I was asked to." Alpha explained sadly, Charles understood what Alpha was talking about. "Well, you weren't the only one who kept something out of sight, before I was roboticized, I asked Rosie to keep the Zeo crystal out of site while guarding it, she did a darn good job of hiding it, and you know the rest of the story." He said, Alpha nodded, knowing Charles was right.

"Of course, Shall we retire for the day?" Alpha asked, looking somewhat exhausted, even for a robot like him, he was running low on energy, Charles looked at his new friend and chuckled. "I guess so, we have been at it for hours." He said as he walked up to the console, getting his own communicator. "See you later, Alpha." he said as he teleported to Knothole outside his family's house.

"What a day." He said, looking weary, He opened the door and walked into the living room, Sonic had been waiting for what seemed two hours. "Hey, uncle Chuck, I figured that you'd coming back, but not this late." He said, Charles smiled tiredly. "Yeah, I have been with Alpha for hours, we were talking and asking questions, well I asked the questions, he answered them." He replied, Sonic stifled a laugh, then he looked over to his mother who was in the kitchen, then back to his uncle. "Does mom know?" He asked, Charles nodded, know that Bernadette already knew. "Unfortunately, yes. But she can keep it a secret, and she's come to accept it as well, better than I did last night." He said remembering the whole conversation the other night, Sonic nodded. "Well, as long she knows and can keep it a secret, I'm afraid Sal won't keep her mouth shut if she found out." He said, not even want to know the outcome of the princess finding out. "Especially tomorrow when I have to report to FF HQ." He continued, unknown to all of them, Jason had overheard them, memories of his past life flashed before he could head for bed, and to that, he knew that he had the flashbacks of his past life before he married Butterscotch. So they know about being a ranger, huh? Well, things are going to get interesting. He thought, things were already getting interesting as the battle for Mobius took a turn for surprises.

The next morning, Sonic arrived at Freedom Fighter HQ, he couldn't find Sally, but he did find Bunnie Rabbot. "Hey sugah hog, where've you been? Sally girl's been looking for you two since days ago." She said, getting Sonic's attention. "Oh, that...well, I've been out on personal business with family and secret missions, ones that me, Tails, and Ames have been on, recently." He said, keeping up with his partial truth, Bunnie wasn't so sure, she knew it was personal to Sonic, but she felt like trying to get more info on where he was. "Are you sure? Sally girl said that you were missin' during the attacks Eggman's been sendin' out since the Power Rangers." She said getting suspicious, Sonic kept himself under pressure, Bunnie was surely persistent, he knew that for sure, but he didn't know how long he was going to keep it a secret, then things went south when Bunnie started thinking hard, Sonic was getting nervous now, Bunnie looked at his eyes, clearly knowing that he was half lying. "Well, we better take this 'sation outside if you're gonna 'fess up." She suggested, Sonic nodded in fear. Now I know Tails felt when Amy caught him by surprise. He thought, walking outside with Bunnie. At least she found out instead of Sal, I guess I'll explain in a speed that I hate. He thought as he began. "Look, I'll explain if you promise to keep it a secret." He said, Bunnie nodded in understanding. "Don' worry, Sally girl won't know what's been going on, so tell me what's been happening with y'all." She said, promising Sonic, yet wanting to know what had been going on the past three days

Sonic explain slow enough for Bunnie to understand about his identity as a Power Ranger, the Zeo Crystal, his entire family knowing about him being a ranger, and Mecha becoming his stepbrother after becoming a Mobian. Bunnie was shocked and amazed, had she been with Sonic during that time, she would have seen all of it, herself. "I guess you had ta keep it a secret to keep those you love safe, Huh? Well sign me in, I want in, Sugah T'wan's gonna be upset, though, I really want to help him out with his dad, y'know." She said, enthusiastic about becoming a ranger, but worried that her husband was going to be worried about her disappearance, and to make matters worse, his father wouldn't live long due to the disastrous wedding that happened months ago with him being poisoned.

"Don't worry, Bunnie, I'm sure T'wan's going to be fine, but like you, I'm afraid that the general's going to kick the bucket, even Doctor Quack said that the poison's rare, and that there's no cure for it, I'm afraid we won't be able to save him in time." He said solemnly, Bunnie needed comfort as she hugged him, even knowing that they were just friends, she calmed down. "I'm better now, Sonic." She said, feeling better, Sonic nodded, getting his communicator ready. "You might wanna hang on, the ride's not gonna be smooth if you're a first timer." He said, Bunnie grabbed onto his arm, and as he pressed the teleportation button, they were lifted into the air, Bunnie looked over the entire land as she was flying at a speed that was fast as sonic was, her light was yellow, she and Sonic noticed this, but before Bunnie could comment on her color, she landed in the command center, but fell on her butt in the process, Sonic landed on his feet just fine, Bunnie felt a bit disoriented, but she got up with little difficulty. "'Yer right, sugah hog, the ride wasn't smooth, but I'll get the hang of it soon." She said, looking around the command center. "Ah take it we're in the command center?" She asked, Sonic nodded. "Yep, take a look around, you'll need to get familiarized with the place." He instructed, Bunnie looked around, Alpha 5 came in. "I take it our new guest found out?" He asked, already figuring out what happened. "Yeah, she's an old friend of mine." Sonic said, pointing his thumb in Bunnie's direction, she was fascinated by the technology. "Sure beats our own security system back home." she said, then she looked to the Morpher and the Yellow Ranger suit, like the others before her she grabbed it and morphed into the Yellow Ranger, she looked amazed. "So this is what it's like to be a ranger." She said, admiring her appearance, Alpha and Sonic nodded. "Well, you're part of the team now, so you'll get to spend time with us if you bring T'wan with ya." Sonic said, feeling that they needed two members, but he knew that Bunnie's husband would crack under pressure, but he felt that he was forgetting something, he turned to alpha.

"I have a feeling I wasn't being careful last night, someone was listening in on the conversation that me uncle Chuck had last night." Alpha nodded. "I know, your uncle heard everything, but so far, we can't tell if Jason will become the Red Ranger as his previous incarnation did. He has a family to protect. It's possible that you could find someone to be the next Red Ranger." He explained, Sonic nodded, understanding, fortunately, Eggman didn't even dare to send out a squad of ten Badniks or monster, so everyone was glad for once.

Things turned out to be easier than expected, but not everything was alright, Bunnie and her husband were at their father's deathbed, and he passed away, it was sad enough, but at least Eggman gave them a brake, the funeral went as it should, but it wasn't easy for those who weren't ready to say goodbye.

The rest of the day went along without any trouble, the next morning wasn't that much of a fun day, School had resumed, and things would be normal for a while.


Me: Well, how about that?

Bunnie: Ah'll say, that was something, but here's the main question.

Me: Go ahead, ask away.

Bunnie: Why is it so gosh darn long?

Me: Well, I had been doing this since I started working on my Captain N Crossover story, I just didn't get to start writing it until after a few years later and several months ago, and I remember that I saved it entirely when I had an accident, and I'm sure everyone should know this by now since I lost almost all of my files, this story was one of those file that survived the destruction of my previous laptop.

Bunnie: Yikes, but that still doesn't answer mah question.

Me: I'm getting to that, I figured that it would be the length of what a movie should be.

Bunnie: Oh, kinda like the original Star Wars movie?

Me: Yeah, and you asked where this takes place? Well, I'll gladly tell you this story is similar to the Archie comics up till the point til Knothole was destroyed.

Bunnie: SAY WHAT NOW?

Me: It's true, I loved your wedding day in that particular issue, so I decided that it would be a day after that, hence Knothole being destroyed after that.

Bunnie: Oh. but still, did you really have to kill off sugah T'wan's father?

Me: Hey, the comics showed it happen, and I did show it here, although the readers who've read the old comics should know that as well.

Bunnnie: I guess, but how'd you Bring back E.V.E?

Me: Funny story, actually. I came up with idea that if Eggman were to bring back older Badniks like Caterkiller or at least make newer versions of older Badniks, I decided to bring back the original E.V.E as well as bring a newer version of her that didn't have her final form and didn't have the memories of the original, gotta start somewhere if v 2.0 went rouge and Eggman would fry her circuits for betraying him, Metal Scourge on the other hand, was not changed, except that he was given modified version of Protoman's Ruby Spears personality. Now keep in mind that this is an alternate reality.

Bunnie: Wow, I never thought of it like that, but what about Mecha?

Me: glad you asked. I wanted Mecha Sonic to be separate from Sonic and make them stepbrothers, since one is a clone of the other, I decided to give Mecha's design a different take on Sonic's design, with elements Scourge thrown into the mix, and giving him a personality was something I didn't expect to do, besides, I was going to consider destroying Mecha, but I gave him a better fate.

Bunnie: Whoa...now that's somethin'.

Me: Tell me about it. Anyway, as for Jason being reincarnated as a hedgehog and Bernie's brother, I simply wanted him to be there for my OCs since Butterscotch was married to him, and how both mother and daughter were related to Vanilla and Cream simply because Because Butterscotch was the opposite of Vanilla, meaning that they were twins, and not all twins are the same, some twins often differ because of their personalities, desires and their relationship, Vianilla is kind and sweet, while Butterscotch is rough and tough, yet is a kind and caring mother to Chocolate, now Chocolate on other hand has yet to be explored in her relationship with Cream as her cousin, though it's safe to say that she's also the opposite of Cream, and is more likely to end up with Tails as his girlfriend in two years since they're the same age.

Bunnie: Heh, I have ta admit, those two sure look cute together, but what about Fiona?

Me: Oh, well, she won't be around for this story, same with Scourge, they're still in the No Zone's prison facility at this point.

Bunnie: Ooh, now that's something I can live with.

Me: I'm sure you would. By the way, to the readers out there, I included the Battle Bikes because they were only seen in a few shots of various episodes, and I'm talking about the ones that were based on the Zyuranger versions, except I made them come to life, the Dragonzord and the White Ranger's Battle Bike my idea, and besides, by the time of the first season, there was no White Ranger and Titanus was without a ranger, maing him the only Zord to not have a ranger, so I gave Titanus to the White Ranger, come on, Titanus's color is white so it should be fair for the White Ranger to have Titanus to be part of his Zords.

Sonic: *Arrives just in time* Finally, did I miss anything?

Me: Yeah, you just missed all of it.

Sonic: *Pouts* Aw man.

Me: Cheer up, ol' buddy, you be here in time for the next chapter.

Bunnie: R&R, folks, leave a review to tell us what you think.

Me: And don't forget check out some of my stories if you haven't had any of them, I'll direct you to which ones you might want to read, I'll see you later.
