Several light years away on a distant planet a young man who once was a resident of planet Earth, and the former Blue Power Ranger; worked along side a group of intelligent beings that had helped them many times in the past. His blue/green eyes shown with determination as he worked hard on his goal. He had kept in contact with a friend on Earth and learned that a growing evil was forming... Like none they had witnessed before. He knew his special project could not be revealed to his Earth dwelling friends until he was ready for it to happen. His child hood best friend Jason was keeping him up to date on current events, and the two had planed on visiting their former leader in the near future.
Billy's long time friend Cestro walked into the lab area that the Alien Rangers had set up for him, he watched his friend work on the 6 piles of gold dust that was displayed on the counter. Tilting his head from side to side Cestro asked his friend.
"Any luck Billy?"
Billy jumped slightly and turned around to find his friend standing there. "Sort of, but it has taken me a long time to sort out who's pile belongs to who. At least I have one gold coin in tact, and that is thanks to Jason for lending it to me."
Cestro walked over to his friend and looked down at the black counter with the gold piles sitting in clear collection discs.
"Do you think this will work? Bringing them back to their natural form?"
Billy studied the first of the 6 discs and told his friend. "I can only try. Zordon created these thousands of years ago... I can only hope I can re create them."
Billy picked up the gold coin on the end of the line up and said to Cestro. "I think the Energy Converter is ready, can you put this coin under the beam and set the machine on high."
Cestro looked down at the symbol on the coin, it was of a dragon's claw. "I never saw this coin before Billy?"
Billy gave his friend a slight smile before saying. "It was once the Green Ranger's Power Coin, but, Lord Zedd and Rita drained Tommy of all the power the coin had thus making it impossible for him to ever morph into the Green Ranger again. My theory is to re-power it. Thanks to Jason's resources on Earth the Morphin Grid has been restored. There is how ever a new evil that is fighting a new group of Rangers in California. I don't know his name, but I hear he is just as bad as Lord Zedd."
Cestro gave Billy a confused look before asking. "What do you hope to accomplish by re-powering this coin?"
Billy followed his friend to the Energy Converter and watched as he placed the gold coin under the beam. Billy flipped the switch and told his friend as the room erupted in green light.
"My source also says that Lord Zedd and Rita had a child... He was banished to another planet far from Earth. But he has a personal score to settle with the Mighty Morphin Rangers, SO the plan is to re-power the coins and recruit the former rangers."
"So he is coming to Earth?"
Billy glanced over at his friend before saying. "Yes, he is. He has also brought friends with him... Very powerful ones from what I understand."
Cestro stared at his long time friend and watched his movements as he adjusted the power coin under the ray. The room turned bright green as Billy pulled the lever to full power. Shielding his eyes he waited for the glow to die down before saying.
"Did it work Billy?"
Billy shut the machine off and picked the gold coin up and saw the power flowing around it, smiling he turned and said.
"Maybe, there is only one way to find out, here, hold this. I will be right back." Handing off the power coin he went to his room and got a box down from the storage compartment in the closet. He took out an old morpher that had not been used in years. Smiling to him self he walked back to Cestro in the lab and took the coin from him.
"Are you going to test it on your self Billy?"
Holding the coin in one hand and the morpher in the other he turned to his long time friend and said.
"Yes, I have to."
"But, your the Blue Ranger?"
Billy chuckled slightly and said softly. "It's only an experiment, yes I am aware of my status as Blue Ranger."
Holding the Morpher behind his back he gave the old but familiar command: "It's morphin Time!"
Feeling the energy flow thru his veins he shouted. "Dragon Zord!"
With in seconds he was covered in the Green Ranger uniform, with the gold shield on his chest. Looking thru the dark visor he told Cestro.
"It worked."
He felt the Dragon Dagger on his hip he knew that the power did not belong to him, but it felt great. To be in uniform again.
"Power Down!"
Seconds later he was back to his normal attire. He held the morpher in his hands and told Cestro. "Well one down, 6 to go."
He put the morpher and coin down on the counter and went back to the dishes on the table. Picking up the first one he placed it under the beam and cranked it to full power. This time the room glowed bright yellow. With in moments the Yellow Power Coin sat where the Green one had been.
"The others will be happy to know that I can fix the power coins."
Hours crept by as he tested each coin after charging it back up after making it whole again. He was to the last coin, he knew it was the most powerful of them all… the White Power Coin. He put it under the beam, turning to Cestro he said.
"Better step back, there's no telling what will happen with this coin."
After pulling the lever the two stepped back, the room erupted in white blinding light, then it happened. An explosion that sent the two men flying across the room, Billy looked up from where he landed and saw the fiery remains of the machine that helped him restore power to 6 power coins.
Sighing he looked over at Cestro and asked. "Are you alright?"
Cestro sat up shaking his head and said softly. "Yes, I am fine Billy, what happened to cause such a reaction?"
Billy frowned and said. "The coin was too powerful, the machine could not power it. It must have over loaded the circuits and blew the machine."
Billy walked over to the fiery remains and saw the charred remains of Tommy's Power Coin. Shaking his head he said softly. "Tommy is going to be so mad at me..."
Cestro looked down at the blackened pile on the once plastic tray and asked. "I thought he was the Black Ranger this time?"
Looking over and then to the charred remains he informed his friend. "That's what Jason told me, but, still this was his first full time power... one that didn't fail him. But I suppose your right, he is a Ranger now anyway."
After cleaning up the destroyed machine Billy put the power coins into a box and set them on the lab table. When the door opened Billy looked over and saw Aurico walk in.
"We heard the explosion, is everything alright?"
The other Alien Rangers came in behind him all looking worried. Billy let out a long breath and said.
"Affirmative, everything is fine now, we are OK. I got the Power Coins fixed and re-powered. Have you heard anything about Lord Zedd and Rita's son?"
Delphine spoke next. "Yes Billy, he is headed for Earth at a rapid speed. He has many warriors at his disposal. What are you planing to do with the Power Coins now that they are repaired?"
Billy looked over at Cestria who came in behind them all, he had stayed on Aquatar because of falling in love with her years ago... but over time they drifted apart and just became very good friends. Nothing was really holding him back after all these years.
"I uh, actually guys... that is something I have been meaning to talk to you all about... its been years since you all helped me with the aging problem I had. And I thank you for that, but..."
Cestria walked over and laid a hand on his shoulder, she looked into his blue/green eyes and said softly.
"But it's time to go home."
Smiling at her fondly he told her. "Yes, it's time to go home. Thank you for all of your help."
Cestria told Billy. "As you know, with Zordon gone, there is no Power Chamber or Command Center to send you back to..."
Nodding in understanding he replied. "Yes I know, the only way is by ship. I should not have any trouble as long as I hurry. Thrax has a 3 week head start on me."
Aurico told him firmly. "Then there isn't any time to waist, we need get you ready to go."
Later that evening Billy pulled up the communication system and tried to get in touch with Jason. After several moments he got thru.
"Uh, hello?"
Billy nearly laughed at Jason's reaction, but then again it had been almost two months Earth time since Billy contacted Jason.
"Hey Jase, its Billy. Are you still planing on moving back to Angel Grove?"
He could imagine the smile on Jason's face as he heard his old friend say excitedly.
"Billy? Oh man, it's so great to hear your voice again! I ended up moving to Reefside, I live on the outskirts of town. Lately I have been helping Tommy with the new Power Rangers. How's it going with that 'Special Project' you were telling me about?"
Billy smiled and told his old friend. "Well, I got them repaired. And I made a decision... I am coming home. Permanently this time."
Jason was silent for a moment then spoke up. "Billy... you know your parents sold your old house in Angel Grove? They gave up on you ever coming home..."
Billy felt a weight land in his stomach, it had been three years since he last spoke to his parents... and it ended with them having a fight about him being gone so long. He had no where to go, the communication cracked a little then Jason's voice came over the line again.
"Billy, your welcome to stay with me until you find a place, I don't mind and you know it."
His best friend knew the situation with his parents, it is hard on a child/parent relationship to never actually know where your child is and why they don't call. Jason had tried to no avail to explain that Billy was away and would be home eventually. And that what he was doing was for the welfare of Earth. They didn't buy it and moved on with their lives.
"Thanks Jase. I will be home in a day or two hopefully, I have to come by ship since I can't teleport..."
"Billy, let me talk to a friend and see what we can do. I remember what happened the last time we tried to bring you home by space craft... I don't feel like having a char broiled friend return to Earth."
Billy shook his head. "Mondo interfered with my travels, it wasn't my doing."
Jason laughed and told him. "Alright smart ass, just give me a few hours, I will contact you again if my friend thinks the idea will work."
Billy shook his head as the line went dead, getting up from the console he stretched his back out some before leaving the communications room. Walking towards his room he started packing a few things to take back with him. When he was done he laid down on his bed and stared up at the sky light, the stars were all wrong in this galaxy he missed his home. Granted he would be living with Jason for some time but it was still good ol California.
Some hours later he was awoken by Delphine. "Billy? Billy, you have a communication transmission coming in. It's your Earth friend Jason."
Shooting off his bed he bolted out of his room, he had not meant to fall asleep it just happened. Going to the communications room he typed in a few keys and the line crackled to life.
"Jason? You there?"
"Yea, I'm here Billy. Hey I talked to mine and Tommy's friend, she was able to take some parts from 'Rad Bug' and made a teleporter. Get what you need and let me know when I can give her the word to teleport here."
"Where's here?"
"Tommy's basement, it's his command center of sorts."
Billy couldn't believe his old car was still around, making a mental note to ask Jason later he just said quickly. "OK, give me a few minutes, I have stuff packed."
Going back into his room he was met by all the Aquatar Rangers.
Aurico spoke for the entire team. "Billy, it has been nice having you here, and thank you for all you have done for us. We will miss you greatly."
Billy nodded politely and said. "Thank you for your hospitality. I just need to gather my things, I will never for get you guys."
After a few more words were exchanged Billy gathered his small amount of belongings along with the Power Coins and went back to the communications room. Typing in the keys he said quickly.
"OK guys, I'm ready."
He felt the long forgotten feeling of energy surrounding him, and in a flash of blue light he left Aquatar and made his way towards Earth…
