It was good to be home. Years living on another planet had been fun and interesting, but nothing beat Angel Grove. This was his home. A city that had seen its share of beauty and sadness. He remembered the time that he had to leave. He'd acquired some type of illness that was fatal on Earth and had to be transported to the Planet of Aquitar. There, he worked on a cure. It took him five years, but he finally made it.

Billy Cranston returned to Earth six months earlier at the request of Project Genesis, a secret organization commissioned to protect the planet and be as quiet about it as possible. As a former Ranger himself, he knew of the darkness that would one day come to Angel Grove. There was a darkness so evil lying under the ground in this peaceful city that if it ever woke up, it would take the strongest Rangers alive to fight it. Rangers that had trained their entire lives for this moment.

"Are you really going to sit there and not talk the entire way to Angel Grove?"

There was no answer. Jessica Hart was fed up with her twin brother. He'd done nothing but sulk the entire trip.

"Look, I know you didn't want to come here, but this is what we've trained for our entire lives. Jacob, we have to do this."

Still no answer. Jacob didn't want to upset his sister. It was exactly the opposite. He knew if he told his twin anything she would realize how much pain he was in. He chose to keep that to himself. It had been a long journey from Genesis to his old home of Angel Grove, and Jacob did not know if he was ready for what stood in front of him. Even more so, he wasn't sure if he could handle what he'd left behind.

The twins were 21. Older than the usual Ranger, but nothing about them was ordinary. They'd left Angel Grove 12 years earlier to begin their training. Now they were the strongest A level cadets at Project Genesis. They pulled up to an old abandoned building in the industrial part of town. After climbing the two flights of stairs, they saw a very large man standing in front of a doorway. He opened the door and they walked inside.

"Do you think he's really here?" Jessie whispered.

"That's what Commander told us." Jacob answered.

"I assume your talking about me."

The twins turned to see Billy reveal himself from the shadows. It had been so long since they had seen each other. Billy had been like a big brother to both of them when they were younger.

"I wish we had time to catch up, but I'm afraid we aren't allowed that option. Come take a look at this."

Billy pulled a remote control out of his pocket and clicked a button. What seemed to be a run down room turned into a state of the art facility. On the screen before them they saw strange readings coming from the ocean just 20 miles away. Before their eyes they saw the reading continue to rise.

The ground began to tremble, and then shake. The volcanic activity continued as this land mass formed in the ocean. To the naked eye, a strange phenomena, but to these three, something destined to happen.

"It was just like the book said it would happen," Jessie suggested.

"Yes." Billy agreed. "And we have no time to waste. These are for you."

He handed them a wristwatch that looked very familiar.

"Don't take these off. Ever. They will keep you in communication. I trust that you have the gems, Jacob."

Jacob nodded. "Yeah, you have no idea what I went through to get these."

Billy opened the box and inside sat six gemstones: Red, Yellow, Blue, Pink, White, and Black.

"So which one is mine?" Jacob asked anxiously.

Billy raised an eye brow. "The gems choose their owners. Raise your wrists towards the gems."

The twins did as instructed. Very quickly, the pink gem chose Jessie and she instantly felt the Ranger powers enter her body. Jacob had closed his eyes, but nothing had happened. Three gems lay dormant, but two were violently shaking. It was almost as if they were fighting over him. Jacob watched as the Red and White gems knocked against each other before he was finally thrown back against the wall. He instantly felt the power enter him. He stood to see that the Red gem remained in the box. Jessie opened her palm to see the pink gem there. Disappointed, Jacob opened his, and saw the white gem. The gems floated over the wristwatches and were absorbed into them. This watch now contained the power.

Billy closed the box container. "It is now my job to find four to battle along side you. Wait here until you are called for. It is very important that our enemies not know that you are here quite yet. I'll see you soon."

With that, he left the room and the twin rangers behind.

Billy had already spotted the four that would join the twins. He actually had to admire the irony of it. But after the two months in Angel Grove he'd spent preparing for this moment, he really had no doubts. Project Genesis bought this large mansion at the top of a hill in Angel Grove. It had been empty for five years. As Billy walked inside it, he admired how it looked normal to anyone that would enter. But this house was anything but normal.

"DECA, I'm home."

"Good afternoon Billy."

"What time is it?"

"It is currently 2:25 in the afternoon. You have an appointment in five minutes."

"Thank you DECA. It would probably be a good idea for you to not talk or answer any questions until I tell you the coast is clear, okay?"

"Affirmative. Shutting down system now. Will awaken on your voice command. Goodnight Billy."

"Goodnight DECA."

Timing could not have been more perfect. Billy heard the doorbell ring. Walking to the door, he knew who would be on the other side. He couldn't help but be excited that this moment had finally arrived. The powers would finally come full circle. He opened the door and there standing in front of him were four people who had no clue that walking through the door would change their lives forever.

"Welcome guys. I'm glad you could come over and finally see my new place. Come in."

As he greeted each one he thought of the back story for each.

The first to enter was Phillip Scott. Billy did not remember Phillip that well, but was very close to his older brother, Jason. When Jason and his family moved for him to join the youth world summit, Phillip was very young. Truth be told, Jason and Billy weren't that close. He was much closer to the girls, Kimberly and Trini.

Which is how he knew the next beautiful girl that walked into his home. Kallie Kwan grew up to look more and more like her big sister Trini everyday. Kallie was much more of a girlie girl than Trini, but he knew that she'd trained in martial arts since she was very young.

Donte was nothing like his brother. He was quiet and reserved. Zack, on the other hand, was always loud and never afraid that he would look stupid. Donte enjoyed alot of the same things his brother liked, but lacked the same self-confidence. Zack moved to Europe over five years ago, and the two never kept in contact. Billy hated the fact that Donte felt left out.

Then Billy came face to face with the last of the foursome. The person that resented him for leaving him behind. Brian Cranston was his little brother. Because his Ranger identity had never been revealed to his family, Brian never understood why his brother abandoned him. More importantly, he had a real problem with his brother coming back and wanting to be a part of his life.

He followed them into the den and offered them a seat.

"Really, Billy, the house is great and all, but why are we here. I don't understand what this is all about," Phillip questioned.

"He wants you to like him so I'll be forced to hang out with him because you guys want too."

Billy didn't answer. Instead the phone rang.

"Let me get that. You guys feel free to explore the house. I'll find you when I'm done."

Billy disappeared down the hallway. The four friends sat there for a minute before Kallie just smiled and got up to explore. Phillip shrugged his shoulders and followed.

"Aren't you even a little curious about how your brother got all of this?" Donte asked Brian.

"Who cares. If you want to go look around go ahead I won't care," Brian scoffed.

Donte understood how his friend felt, but didn't want to pass up this opportunity either.

Kallie and Phillip found their way into a large work out room They both looked at each other in amazement and then started to look around. There was a boxing ring in the middle of the room, and on the other side a sparring mat. Weight machines lined the floor and in an adjacent room tons of cardio equipment lined the walls.

Donte opened the door into a very dark room. He walked inside and the door shut behind him. Unable to see, he felt around on the walls for a light switch. Clicking it, music came on with the lights. It was an incredible sound system. Better than any he'd ever seen.

Brian couldn't help but wonder where the music came from. He followed the noise down the hall. Kallie and Phillip met him there. They opened the door to see Donte dancing to the music. When he saw them watching, he stopped from embarrassment.

"Don't stop. You are really good!" Kallie exclaimed.

He just pushed his way out of the room and across the hall into the next. The other followed. Brian was astonished by what he saw. It was the largest library he'd ever seen. There had to be millions of books.

"There is no way your brother has read all of these," Phillip said.

"Don't be so sure," Brian smiled.

He loved to read. This would have been the room he'd spend hours in if he wanted to be anywhere around his brother. He walked through the room examining the books on the shelf.

"What are you looking for?" Kallie asked as she started to look as well.

"I've never heard of these books before. Like this one. It's at least 1000 pages. It's called the Zordon Effect. Let me see if..." He pulled the book toward him but it only tilted. He heard gears moving. The bookcase began to move and revealed a staircase which led underground.

Phillip didn't think twice. He headed down the stairs. Donte followed. Kallie and Brian just looked at each other in disbelief. What could Billy have hidden down there? They each took a deep breath and followed their friends down the stairs.

"Why am I the White Ranger and not the Red Ranger? It's not like anyone Billy picks is going to be better trained than I am. I just don't get it!"

Jacob had been ranting about the Ranger Powers since Billy left them. Jessie immediately sat down to do surveillence, her speciality.

"Get over it, Jacob. White is an important color. Remember that's like first year cadet school stuff. A White Ranger is that which demonstrates the better qualities of all the other colors." Jessie tried to cheer her brother up but it was not working.

"Yes, here we go. Jacob come look at this. I was able to patch into the Command Center. We can see who ends up becoming rangers with us.

Jacob came over to view. The twins watched as four figures entered the dark room and all the lights came on. Billy was standing there waiting.

"It took a little longer than I thought to get you here, but welcome to the Command Center."

"Oh no! You have got to be kidding me," Jacob backed away from the table.

"What is it?" Jessie asked concerned.

"I can't believe that Billy is going to pick him. I hate him!"

Jessie turned around to see who he was talking about. She immediately recognized the first boy to enter. Phillip Scott was one of the few memories the twins had of Angel Grove. He was a bully in kindergarten and use to beat Jacob up on a regular basis. She was sure he'd grown up since then.

"Jacob, it's been almost fifteen years, I'm sure he's changed since then."

Jacob didn't answer and stared out the window. Jessie knew to leave him alone when he got like this so she turned around to watch what happens.

Billy stood in front of the four bewildered young people.

"Billy what is going on here?" Brian was stunned. What had his brother gotten himself into. The place was vast and there was more computer equipment and technology than he would know what to do with.

"Brian, you and your friends have been chosen for something very important. In fact, you were chosen many years ago, and have been training for this day without even knowing it. Let me show you what I'm talking about. Observe the Viewing Screen." He pointed to a screen in front of them that lit up. "This is Nemesis, ruler of the underworld. He has laid dormant since he was locked up 2006 years ago."

"That would place him at the time of..." Donte began.

"Exactly. According to legend when the keys to hell were taken they were also used to lock up Nemesis and his demon army. The legend continues to state that when the Earth contained as much evil as it did when he was locked up, the locks would be released and he would terrorize our world again," Billy explained.

"And now the world is that evil again?" Phillip raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so hard to believe?" Billy turned to him. He clicked the screen remote again and images of Earth in turmoil shot across the screen. "Millions of people in the world are hungry and dying everyday. We fight over money and oil instead of protecting ourselves and the Earth in which we live. We've become selfish and greedy instead of giving and good."

"What is this mission?" Kallie spoke up.

"In short, I'm offering you a chance to be Power Rangers. Just like your older brothers and sisters," Billy stated.

They were all shocked. Again, the screen clicked and the images of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers filled the screen. They watched in amazement. In front of them, four wristwatches appeared on the table. Each of the four picked one up and put it on.

"Just like Jason, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, and myself, you have been chosen to protect Angel Grove and the world. Keep your identity a secret. The power has chosen you and now so will your gems."

He opened the box and immediately the four gems leapt from their resting places and hovered over the four. Each of them held out their wrists and the gems absorbed into the watches. Brian accepted the Blue Power, Kallie, the Yellow, Donte the Black, and Phillip the Red.

Before they could even think about what should happen next a siren began ringing.

"DECA AWAKEN!" Billy commanded.

"DECA program initiated. Good afternoon Billy and Rangers."

"DECA, let me see the threat on screen."

Before them, on the screen was a group of black creatures seared with silver. The silver almost looked as if it was burned into their flesh.

"What are those things?" asked Donte.

Billy was studying them. "It appears Nemesis has already arrived. Those are geracks, devils that answer to only him."

They were headed into Angel Grove Park, and followed by a huge creature of a man and beast.

"That is the demon Galastic. He is Nemesis's right hand man. Rangers there is no time to waste. You must stop them before they reach the city. Call on your powers by saying 'Mystic Spirit Ranger Form'. Go now.

The four ran up the staircase. Billy stopped Brian.

"I hope now you know I didn't just desert you."

Brian nodded and ran to help the others.

"Jacob come quick!"

Jacob walked over to his sister and saw Galasitc and his minions attacking the park.

"We should help them," Jessie demanded.

"Not yet. Let's see what the others can do first. Nemesis doesn't need to know there are six Rangers quite yet. Let's see if they can handle it."

"But..." Jessie started.

"No buts! Billy gave us an order and we follow it. He is our superior."

In the park citizens of Angel Grove ran in disbelief that their city was once again being attacked. As so many were running away from the devils, four ran toward them.

"Galastic stop right there!"

"Who is going to stop me?" the Seven foot Man with huge muscles of steel said.

"We are," the four begain.

"Ready," Phillip asked.

"Ready," Kallie, Donte, and Brian answered.

"MYSTIC SPIRIT, RANGER FORM, HAH"

Before Galastic stood four Power Rangers. His surprise was obvious, but he would not turn back.

"Geracks, Get them!"

The first attack began. All four Rangers fought bravely. Each of them reached for their Mystic Swords to plow through the geracks. Galastic seeing that his geracks were not winning conjured up a demon from the water named Aguam.

Billy knew this was too much for the Rangers first battle. He could tell they were nervous about the monster. He only had one choice. He contacted the twins.

Red and Blue Ranger fought Aguam and Galastic but kept getting thrown down. Black and Yellow continued to knock out geracks, now with their blasters. The geracks just seemed to keep coming. The Rangers were overwhelmed.

The sky began to darken and lighting shot through the sky. A strong wind blew and pushed the evil mongrels away from the Rangers. When the Rangers looked up, they saw standing before them two of their own kind, in White and Pink. The White Ranger pulled out a staff and the Pink Ranger a whip. The others watched in awe as the two mauled through the geracks and went after Aguam leaving Galastic for them.

The four fought Galastic with everything they had. He pulled back saying, "It appears we have underestimated you humans. It will not happen again." He disappeared.

The four looked over to the White and Pink Rangers and watched as the combined their weapons into a slingshot attack that took out Aguam and incinerated him.

The weather cleared and the six Rangers stood there staring at each other. The twins did not intend to reveal their identities just yet. That would be another day. The twins ninja streaked away from the park leaving the others to wonder their identities.
