:::Author Notes:::

This takes place right after A Scent of a Ranger (Where CamToo is introduced and Tori and Dustin are turned into perfume). For PR: Turbo it takes place seven years after the last episode in the season, which is Chase into Space.

I know that Ninja Storm took place in the Power Rangers continuity, but it always seemed like a separate universe to me. Tori and Shane dismissing the existence of Powers Rangers in the first episode as Urban Legend was just strange. I mean the Rangers have saved the world multiple times, why would there be any doubt?

Dancing Under Scattered Light

Prologue

By: ThunderGod

Seven years had passed on Earth since the exodus of the Turbo Powers Rangers to space seeking new power. Once found, they returned as the Astro Rangers defeating their foes left behind on Earth in their wake. As with all things the team of rangers changed… Astro, Galactic, Lightspeed, Time Force, Wild force. There was once a Red Ranger who told his team of rangers that "Once a Ranger, always a Ranger." Meaning that just because you step down from the mantle of being a Power Ranger doesn't mean you are forever powerless.

Justin Stewart knew that quote well.

Justin was only eleven when he was chosen to wield the powers of the Blue Turbo Ranger. What he lacked in experience he made up in IQ. At the age of eleven Justin had been moved from elementary school to High School, where he first met the people who made up the then current team of Power Rangers. Only after Rocky, his predecessor, injured himself was he given the responsibility of being the Blue Ranger. A decision he hadn't regretted yet…

Even now seven years later, a sophomore at Ohio State University majoring in Astro Physics, Justin still didn't regret his decision. He still kept in contact with his old teammates, always friends for life and his life was going exactly the way he wanted. Even with his extracurricular activities. It had been decided by the Red Rangers of all teams that those Rangers with access to their powers were to be put in active status again. All former Rangers were now required to patrol the areas they lived in. Demons or monsters of some kind were randomly appearing all over the world and the source couldn't be traced down anywhere, so the now active-again Rangers had to patrol and keep their area demon free until the current team found and stopped the source.

Justin was once again clothed in his Blue Ranger uniform fighting a demon for the third night in row. The moon shined down on them as the two fought a high-speed battle in the middle of a deserted skate park. Justin jumped up; his powers giving him enhanced agility, with an incredible speed. With a yell he roundhouse kicked the demon; smiling behind his helmet hearing his foot connect with the creatures jaw. It was caught off guard and yelled as it flew back into the air impacting a tree with a deafening crack.

The demon gazed up at Justin slowly with blood, red eyes. Opening its mouth it began to smile revealing a row of crooked, razor sharp teeth. Justin narrowed his eyes, grounding his heels into the dirt resuming a defensive stance he learned from years of martial arts.

"Watch," the demon hissed coldly.

It raised its arm and Justin's eyes focused on the creature's finger that was drawing closer to one of its heavily bleeding wounds. He watched in morbid fascination as the demon extended a clawed finger and dug it into its own bleeding opening, drawing a hiss of pain from its lips. Slowly, black blood oozed from the wound and trickled to the ground. Without warning, the demon began to mutter a string of words under its breath too low for Justin to hear.

"What are you doing?" questioned Justin backing away from the demon, drawing his Turbo Blaster from his side aiming the gun at it.

The droplets of blood suddenly halted in mid air defying gravity by hovering in place. Suddenly they began to glow and the air around the frozen drops started to flash and snap with a low cracking sound. Justin aimed his blaster and fired rapidly but the blasts bounced off an invisible force field that sprung up around the demon.

"Shit," Justin cursed putting his blaster back in his holster, quickly raising his wrist to his lips. "Guys… Can you hear me? Anyone?" he called into his wrist receiving only static instead of a response over the communication channel.

Cursing quietly, Justin sprung forward and was thrown backwards as a fierce wind suddenly sprung up from nowhere knocking him to the ground.

The demon looked to Justin and said, "Blood opens it and by blood it closes. Only when the blood stops flowing will it close or this whole city will be sucked into the unknown." The demon grinned that evil grin at Justin again, and in a flashy shimmer of violet light it vanished.

"Oh no," Justin whispered breathy.

Sure enough the portal, which was a phenomenon of glowing spherical white light, slowly began to expand and get bigger with each passing minute. Thousand different thoughts began flying through his mind on how to divert the impending disaster. The portal got bigger with the time he wasted thinking of an solution. With a startled yelp, Justin jumped from the way as a stray skateboard lifted from the ground and was sucked into the glowing portal that only grew bigger as the minutes passed. Justin scanned the portal by using the built in scanners in his helmet but there was no nothing he could do to close the growing portal.

The words of the demon came back to him full force. 'Blood opens it and by blood it closes. Only when the blood stops flowing will it close…''

That was it. The demon stupidly had told him how to close the portal. Blood is a sacred thing. It is life and eternal. It represents an ending and a beginning. Blood of the demon opened the portal and only until blood stops flowing will close. It needs a life sacrificed or the whole city was going to sucked in and soon if its present, growing rate continued.

Justin assessed all the possible actions he could take but only one had any chance of actually working…

He had to jump into the portal…

Quickly clearing his mind before he could think second thoughts. Justin took a running leap and jumped through the swirling silver portal. His head jerked back and his mouth opened in a silent scream of pain. The energy inside the portal ripped through Justin's body. Agony and pain like never before welled up inside of him as it felt like his entire body was engulfed in flames. He felt like someone took hundreds of knives and were stabbing them all over his body. White spots flashed in his vision as the torture went on for gods knew how long. Time didn't seem to have any meaning. It could have been a minute or it could have been a whole lifetime, Justin lost track quickly.

Suddenly, above a deserted downtown district a sliver, spherical portal opened up from nowhere. Justin fell from the portal landing roughly on the pavement. His head thudded hard against the cold ground and stars swam behind his eyes. The last thing he saw before he passed out was the stars twinkling high above him in the sky…

"Hey kid… Kid…"

Groggily, Justin awoke to someone talking very loudly above him. He opened his eyes blinking quickly as they adjusted to the harsh brightness of the daytime sun. Justin got to his feet pausing a moment as he swayed and then regained his balance. Before him was a police officer dressed in a blue uniform, wearing a concerned expression upon his face.

"Hey kid, you okay?" asked the officer.

Justin nodded touching his head. "Yeah, I'm fine sir. Don't worry about me," he smiled, attempting to reassure the officer. The people on the street glanced at them curiously as they passed by going about their daily businesses. Justin hurriedly walked away as a tourist came up to the police officer to ask for directions. He easily slipped into the crowd and out of sight. As he walked by a building he noticed for the first time that he had demorphed. Justin's hair was long and pulled back into a ponytail just like his older friend, Tommy, once wore his own brown locks. He wore a tight blue shirt and well-worn blue jeans with rips. Justin ran a hand through his hair wondering for the first time where he was.

"This sure doesn't look like Ohio," he muttered hearing the sound of seagulls in the distance. Last time he checked there wasn't an ocean near Ohio. "Where in the hell am I?" wondered Justin, looking around his surroundings nervously.

Justin spotted an Internet Café across the street and walked towards it. He entered and seemed to fit right in the crowd of older teens in the café. Justin paid for a terminal and quickly logged onto the Internet. The homepage that came up was the webpage for the Internet Café.

"At least I know where I am," he said reading the words Blue Bay Harbor Internet Café, from the page. "Never heard of a Blue Bay Harbor before though."

For some reason Justin had a really bad feeling. He knew that when had jumped into the portal the energy that ripped through him should have killed him alone and yet he was alive. That could be attributed to his Ranger powers. Still though the feeling nagged at him. Portals where a tricky matter… One never knew where they could take you. He was lucky he was still on Earth… the last time a ranger went through an unknown portal they had ended up in a lost galaxy. But still even though he was on Earth… something wasn't right. Ending up in an unknown city wasn't it… It was something else that nagged at him.

Without even realizing it, Justin typed in two words… Power Rangers.

Justin frowned looking at one of the results the search had turned up. Myths and Legends of Old: Power Rangers Myth is True. He clicked on it and read the information on the new page that promptly loaded. His eyes got wider and wider as he scrolled down the page.

Long ago in the distant past there was a mighty battle between
good and evil. The evil powers had their army and good powers
had theirs and they were called the Power Rangers. The ranger
powers grant normal beings extraordinary powers, including
enhanced strength, speed, and agility, as well as the ability to
summon and pilot war machines known as Zords. The powers
were made so that they could be made attainable through either
coins, wrist mounted devices, or swords. With the Power
Rangers on their side the Good side won the war and purged the
universe of evil. With no evil left the Rangers gave up their
power. Their heroic deeds and bravery during the great battle
they fought in became lost…

None of us know whether this legend is true, but recent events
may point toward it being so. In Blue Harbor recently an actual
team of Powers Rangers has appeared, rangers with powers
over the very elements of the Earth. Their reappearance on
Earth is a mystery to all and we are baffled as to why legends
are suddenly walking the Earth once again. The Power Rangers
reappearance could be accredited to the new sightings of
monsters in Blue Bay Harbor. Could the legend be true? It was
once said 'that in times of greatest danger those who fight with
skill and might will stand to defend with power and light…'

Justin stopped reading then and there. Quickly he hit the back button and clicked another link. The page was basically the same. Power Rangers were a myth or legend and now with the appearance of the new team Rangers in Blue Bay Harbor, the legend wasn't so much of a legend now. That was it. There was no mention of Angel Grove. Rita Repulsa. The other teams of Rangers… Zeo, Galactic, Astro, Wild Force, Time Force, Lightspeed, Turbo… none of them were mentioned or even heard of when he searched for them.

"I can't believe it," whispered Justin softly. "How is this possible?"

Justin didn't get into high school at eleven for nothing. With the clues he had it was simple to figure out what was going on. Of course going through an unknown portal and ending up on the same world was too good to be true. No, Justin knew what was happening and it wasn't good. Justin Stewart wasn't on his world anymore. He was in another dimension. An alternate universe to be more precise.

BOOM.

The whole building shook from the sudden explosion that rocked the Earth. Justin braced himself against the table looking around in confusion. The other customers in the café too looked around confused and some screamed as another explosion rocked the building on its foundation. Justin ran outside as the people inside began to panic. He growled in his throat as he pushed past the people crowding the street. They screamed and ran every which way their incoherent voices getting lost in the yells of terror. Skidding around a corner Justin halted suddenly at the sight that was before him. A green skinned monster was fighting the Rangers he had seen pictures of on the Internet. There were six of them and still the monster seemed to know their every move and countered and blocked all their dealt strikes. The battle was near the end of the street so neither party had seen Justin. Just in case, he moved along a wall till the shadows of the alley he hid in covered him.

"Never a slow day," Justin sighed, flicking both his wrists. In a flash of light a morpher appeared strapped to his wrist and in his other hand was a metallic key. "Its time to shift into Turbo!" With rapid movements he inserted the key into the morpher and turned it. A blue light hid Justin from view momentarily and its wake the Blue Turbo Ranger stood.

Breathing a deep breath Justin stood in the shadows watching the battle. "Here I go."
