RANGERS BACK IN TIME PT 2

AUTHOR'S NOTE/DISCLAIMER

Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. I forgot to mention this before, but for what Goldar looks like, refer to season one. That's how I liked him best, so that's how I've been picturing him. And I have to apologize, it's rescrambler, not descrambler.

Filled with worry, Alpha silently worked on the machine needed to return the Rangers to normal. Oh! This is terrible! We've never been in a fix like this! he thought to himself. What if the device didn't work? Or…what if it did and it had some sort of horrible side effect?

"Is the molecular rescrambler completed yet?" Zordon presently questioned, his tone just barely betraying the sound of worry.

"I'm working on it as fast as I can! Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi! This is a disaster!" Alpha responded.

"You must hurry! The Rangers' rescue depends on this device and there is no time to spare." I don't like this at all. There's no telling what kind of affect that this could have on the Rangers and their friends, he thought to himself.

"You're telling me! Oh, woe is Alpha."

"With Zedd having turned them into children and imprisoning them in a photograph, there is no one left to destroy the Rock Of Time." As he said this, the robot turned to look at the globe.

"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi! This is terrible!" That thing is bad news! Too bad I can't destroy it myself, he thought to himself. If he could've, he would've done so already, but the Rock Of Time was something that required a certain amount of power to destroy. Power that only the Rangers had.

"Our only chance is to retrieve the photograph and turn the Rangers and their friends to normal-even if it means revealing their identities to their friends." Alpha nodded. Zordon was right. He had to save his human friends. Oh, hold on Rangers, he thought to himself. With that, he straightened his shoulders, and went back to work on the device. He would succeed in getting the device ready. He had to. The Rangers and their friends were counting on him. In the park, from their hiding place, Bulk and Skull stared in shock. Jason and his friends had been attacked by a monster and trapped in a photograph. It was unreal.

"Kimberly," Skull said morosely. This is all my fault. I should've done something, he thought to himself. She was trapped and it was because he hadn't even made a move to help her. No wonder she didn't like him. Who would like a coward? Bulk looked at Skull's distraught expression. Aw, man. He must be blaming himself, he realized. Bulk put a hand on Skull's shoulder.

"This wasn't your fault."

"But I could've done something."

"If we had, that monster would've just gotten us too, and she wouldn't have wanted that. Besides, we couldn't have-" Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the picture towards them. "The picture! We've got it! Come on! We can take this to a grownup and they'll help us get Kimberly and her friends back!" The two took off, the monster on their heels. Meanwhile, in the Lunar Palace, Goldar and Finster were talking to their coconspirator on a secret channel.

"Have you secured the dumpster yet?" Finster questioned.

"Not quite. It travels fast," came the response. "What's going on around your end?"

"Zedd has activated the Rock Of Time, turning the Rangers and their friends into children," Goldar answered.

"Interesting idea. Do you think it'll continue to work?"

"Uncertain." Seeing the scene on Earth, Zedd fumed.

"Goldar!" he yelled. Hearing the summons, Goldar turned around.

"I better get out there before he becomes suspicious," he told them and hurried away as Finster cut the transmission.

"Goldar!" Zedd called again.

"Yes, Sire. I'm sorry," he apologized.

"Get down there and capture those two little punk humans! I must have that picture!"

"As you desire, Lord Zedd." He headed off for Earth.

"When that picture is mine, the Power Rangers will exist no more!" Zedd cackled.
