WHEN IS A RANGER NOT A RANGER?

DISCLAIMER/AUTHOR'S NOTE

All righty now, I am going to be rewriting seasons 2 and 3 to fit in with my "How It Should've Been" reality, which means Tommy's not the leader, Jason, Zack, and Trini never left and Rocky, Adam, and Aisha are the Gold, Silver, and Purple Rangers respectively. For the most part, the episodes will be the same with only the addition of Jason, Zack, Zack, and Trini unless I'm not fond of the plot, in which case I'll change it. After that, I'll add in some of my own episodes plus a series finale with an epilogue that shows the Rangers graduating. Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney.

"The kaleidoscope shows us how light is refracted. It starts with normal white light," Adam said, looking through the cylinder. He looked back at the class. "Then the light enters the kaleidoscope and breaks into a million pieces," he finished. "Take a look." A girl took the kaleidoscope and looked through it.

"Nice report, Adam," Ms. Appleby told him. "Questions anyone?" Skull raised his hand. "Intelligent questions?" He lowered his hand and Bulk began to speak. "About the report, Bulk."

"Heck, who would want to know about that?" Bulk wondered. He leaned over to Skull. "I didn't understand a word he said." The bell rang and the class dispersed. On the moon, Zedd had seen the whole thing.

"When is a Ranger not a Ranger? When his image is scattered to bits. And a Ranger is in danger when his memory is on the---on the---"

"On the fritz?" Squatt supplied.

"I would've gotten it!"

"Yeah, in a couple million years maybe." They laughed as Zedd turned his attention elsewhere.

"Goldar, go get me that kaleidoscope."

"As you wish, O Rotten One. I shall send my Putties into action." Zedd turned to Squatt and Baboo.

"As for you two, if you ever finish one of my rhymes again, I'll make both of you until potholders." Kimberly, Tommy, and Billy walked around as Kimberly looked into the kaleidoscope.

"Wow. You guys…Adam's kaleidoscope is really far out."

"'Far out'? Kim, have you been watching the Brady Bunch again?" Startled at the new voice, she turned around. Then, she laughed.

"You look completely funny through this," she told Jason.

"So I take it Adam's report went well?" he asked, as she continued to move the bottom of the toy.

"Uh-huh."

"Putties!" At Jason's warning, she turned around. The four took their backpacks, and then kicked them at the Putties, knocking them down. During the progression of the fight, Kimberly dropped the kaleidoscope. Minutes later, the Putties had been destroyed.

"What was that all about?" Kimberly asked.

"I don't know," Jason responded. Then, there was a loud rumble.

"Something tells me that Zedd's up to his old tricks!" Tommy shouted. Kimberly watched as energy enveloped Adam's kaleidoscope and was turned into a monster.

"Oh, great. Adam's going to love this," she griped.

"It's morphin' time!" Jason shouted.

"Tigerzord!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Tyrannosaurus!" As soon as they were morphed, the White, Pink, Blue, and Red Rangers went into action. The monster was knocked back by a flurry of punches and kicks.

"I am Scatter-Brain! Prepare to meet your doom!" Then, with a roar, it shot a beam at them. They groaned and seconds later, they were de-morphed.
