Pass It On
"We need to do something!" said King Galkon.
"Why do you say that?" asked Queen Redoria.
"Well," said King Galkon, "we are not making much points on the scoreboard! We need to attack another planet besides Jukor."
"I have an idea!" said Queen Redoria.
"What is it, dear?" asked King Galkon.
"We could conquer Earth," said Queen Redoria, "they are simple beings! They would make excellent slaves!"
"Then it is settled!" said King Galkon, "we will attack the planet Earth! But I think that we need to specifically work on the city of Mariner Bay!"
"That's a splendid idea, dear!" said Queen Redoria.
"Malkor fighters!" said King Galkon, "go and attack the citizens of Earth!"
The Malkor fighters left the Notter base quickly, and commenced firing on Earth. Now, one of the citizens of Mariner Bay was hurt, and that was Captain Bill Mitchell. A concerned citizen noticed him lying on the ground, and the citizen called the paramedics. The paramedics came to the site and took Captain Bill Mitchell to Mercy Hospital. After ten minutes, Captain Bill Mitchell woke up and saw his hospital surroundings.
"Where am I?" asked Captain Bill Mitchell.
"You were shot from one of those jet fighters," said the nurse, "I'm afraid that your leg was badly damaged. The doctor says that you will not be able to walk any longer. Sorry."
Captain Mitchell became frustrated and began to cry. Soon, the nurses called his emergency contacts, who were Dana and Ryan Mitchell, his children. They came as quickly as they could. They arrived at the hospital and went quickly to Captain Bill Mitchell's hospital room.
"Dad!" said Dana, "what happened?"
"I was attacked by one of those fighters in the sky," said Captain Bill Mitchell, "the nurse says that I will never be able to walk again!"
"Oh, dad!" said Dana.
"You know," said Ryan, "I wish that we could do something about this!"
"Yeah," said Dana, "maybe we can restart Lightspeed somehow!"
"Actually, you can!" said Captain Bill Mitchell.
"Dad?" asked Dana, "what do you mean?"
"I can no longer walk, but I believe that the two of you have the abilities to restart Lightspeed! Just work together. You're smart enough!" said Captain Bill Mitchell, "I believe that both of you have the ability to make Lightspeed better than ever!"
"Okay," said Ryan, "if you say so, dad!"
"Trust me, son," said Captain Bill Mitchell, "I'm serious!"
"Don't worry, dad," said Dana, "we'll do this!"
Dana kissed Captain Bill Mitchell on the cheek. Then, Ryan and Dana left the hospital room and went back to Dana's truck.
"How do you expect us to do this?" asked Ryan, "we don't even have a base!"
"Trust me," said Dana, "anything's possible. Dad always told me never to give up!"
"Yeah," said Ryan, "I guess you're right."
"Let's go to Ms. Fairweather's place," said Dana, "she may have some answers."
"Right!" said Ryan.
Ryan and Dana drove to Ms. Fairweather's house. Then they got out of the car, went to her door, and knocked on it. Ms. Fairweather looked out of the window of her door and saw Dana and Ryan waiting on her porch. She then opened the door.
"Hi! Dana and Ryan!" said Ms. Fairweather, "come on in! Let me get you a drink!"
Ms. Fairweather made some fruit punch for her guests. They drink it up quickly.
"Do you want some more?" asked Ms. Fairweather.
"No," said Ryan, "that won't be necessary. Unfortunately, this is not a social call."
"What do you mean?" asked Ms. Fairweather.
"Dad was hit by one of those flying fighters," said Ryan.
"Is he okay?" asked Ms. Fairweather.
"Yes and no," said Ryan, "he's alive, but he can no longer walk. The reason that we are here is because dad said that somehow we can restart Lightspeed."
"How do we do that?" asked Ms. Fairweather.
"That's what we're asking," said Dana, "we were hoping that you knew."
"Well," said Ms. Fairweather, "I guess that we need to brainstorm somehow."
"Yeah," said Ryan, "I agree! Let's do it! Hopefully, we can come up with a good idea!"
They started the brainstorming process.
"I've got it!" said Dana.
"Great!" said Ryan, "so, what are you thinking?"
"Have you heard of the legendary Tommy Oliver?" asked Dana.
"No, why?" asked Ryan.
"Well, he's a science teacher over at Reefside," said Dana, "but he was also a ranger and a mentor for a very long time. He may be able to help us! So, what do you say?"
"I think that we should go down there!" said Ms. Fairweather.
"Yeah!" said Ryan, "let's go!"
"Okay!" said Dana.
They all piled inside of Dana's truck and took the long drive to Reefside. They saw a citizen walking along the streets and asked her for directions. Dana rolled down her window, and the citizen focused on them.
"Excuse me?" asked Dana.
"Yeah?" said the citizen.
"Do you know how to get to Reefside High?" asked Dana.
"Yeah!" said the citizen, "it's not far! Just keep going straight! You'll run into it!"
"Thanks!" said Dana.
Dana rolled up her window, and the citizen went her way. Dana drove to Reefside High and found it quickly.
"Here it is!" said Dana.
"Okay," said Ryan, "let's go inside!"
"Right!" said Ms. Fairweather.
The three of them went inside the high school. They were greeted by a friendly, elderly receptionist as they walked through the door.
"Hello," said the receptionist, "what can I do for you?"
"We're looking for Dr. Tommy Oliver," said Dana, "it's important!"
"I'll see what I can do!" said the receptionist, "oh, by the way, if anyone asks where I am, just tell them that I had to run an important errand."
"No problem!" said Ryan.
The receptionist went right to Tommy's classroom. Tommy noticed her as she walked in the doorway.
"Yes?" asked Tommy.
"You have guests!" said the receptionist, "they say that it is important."
"Thanks, Ruby!" said Tommy, "I'll be down in a second!"
"Okay, everyone!" said Tommy, "behave yourselves while I'm gone!"
The classroom shortly became unruly when Tommy left. The security guard saw the condition of the classroom and walked inside. The class calmed down quickly. The security guard stayed in the classroom until Tommy comes back, and that is if he came back. The receptionist went back to her office and approached the three visitors.
"He'll be down in a second!" said the receptionist.
"Thanks!" said Dana.
"Not a problem!" said the receptionist.
Tommy came down from his classroom to greet the three guests. He approached them.
"I'm Dr. Tommy Oliver," said Tommy, "what can I do for you?"
"Is there a place where we can talk in private?" asked Ms. Fairweather.
"Sure!" said Tommy, "the conference room looks like it's available!"
"Great!" said Ms. Fairweather, "then let's go inside!"
They all went inside the conference room, and Tommy shut the door.
"Okay," said Tommy, "what can I do for you?"
"I'm Angela Fairweather," said Ms. Fairweather, "and these are Ryan and Dana Mitchell."
"Hi!" said Ryan and Dana.
"We're here because we need your help," said Ms. Fairweather.
"What are you talking about?" asked Tommy.
"We know, Tommy," said Dana, "that you were a Power Ranger and a mentor. You're a legend! That's why we need your help."
"Go ahead, explain!" said Tommy.
"Our father was recently attacked by one of those flying things," said Ryan, "as a result, he can no longer walk. He entrusted us with the abilities to restart Lightspeed."
"Lightspeed?" asked Tommy.
"Yes, Lightspeed," said Ryan, "Lightspeed was an organization that fought to defend Mariner Bay. You might remember Carter Grayson a while ago."
"Yes," said Tommy, "I have! He was with us when we had to take down Serpenterra. I remember him well!"
"Carter was a red ranger of ours!" said Ryan, "that's how Dana found out about you. We are not here on a social call, but because we need your help."
"Okay," said Tommy, "what can I do for you?"
"Help us re-establish Lightspeed," said Ms. Fairweather, "we need to stop these aliens from taking over the Earth. If we don't, the Earth, as we know it, will be destroyed."
"Okay, I'll help you," said Tommy, "let me give a message to the receptionist, real quick!"
"Go ahead!" said Ms. Fairweather.
"Okay," said Tommy, "wait here."
Tommy went to the receptionist.
"Ruby," said Tommy.
"Yes, Dr. Oliver?" asked the receptionist.
"I need to go, and I may be gone for a little while. It's important, so line up a substitute for me!" said Tommy.
"No problem, Dr. Oliver," said the receptionist.
"Thanks, Ruby!" said Tommy, "you're the best!"
The receptionist smiled.
"Okay, everyone!" said Tommy, "I have a jeep. Go ahead and follow me in your car."
"Where are we going?" asked Ms. Fairweather.
"You'll see!" said Tommy.
They decided to trust Tommy. They hopped in Dana's truck and followed Tommy to their destination. They opened the doors of their vehicles and came out.
"So," said Ms. Fairweather, "where do we go from here?"
"Just follow me," said Tommy.
Dana and Ms. Fairweather were a little uneasy following Tommy. Tommy led them inside his house and to his lair that he used for Power Rangers Dino Thunder. They were amazed at the architecture of the base.
"What is this place?" asked Dana.
"It was my old base when I had a Power Ranger team," said Tommy.
"I see!" said Dana, "you don't expect us to make a base out of your basement, do you?"
"No," said Tommy, "not exactly. I brought you here because I need you here so that I can make some phone calls."
"Okay," said Dana, "if you say so!"
"Trust me," said Tommy, "everything's going to be okay!"
Tommy got on his computer and made a call to Aquitar. The three of them gathered around. Aurico answered.
"Aurico, here!" said Aurico.
"This is Tommy Oliver," said Tommy, "you do remember me, the red zeo ranger?"
"I remember you well," said Aurico, "what can I do for you?"
"I have some people here who are looking for a base," said Tommy, "they decided to battle the Notter Empire with it. Can you help us?"
"In fact," said Aurico, "I can!"
The three of them became overjoyed.
"There is a base on the planet Eltare," said Aurico, "it was owned by Zordon and his forces, but they were all killed in battle, and we all know that Zordon has passed away."
"Yeah," said Tommy, "I know."
"But now, the base is free for the taking, but it still needs some repair, much repair!" said Aurico.
"It may not be all that it's cracked up to be," said Tommy, "but it may be your only option!"
"We'll take it!" said Ms. Fairweather.
"Good," said Aurico, "then meet me there at Eltare in about thirty minutes."
"See you later!" said Tommy.
They both signed off.
"Well, guys!" said Tommy, "I suggest that we get going! I can use Hayley's old computer to teleport there!"
"Who's Hayley?" asked Dana.
"She was an assistant of mine," said Tommy, "anyway, let's get going!"
They teleported to Eltare, and Aurico met them there.
"Follow me," said Aurico, "I know where it is!"
Aurico and the others took a space taxi to the base. Aurico paid the driver, and the driver left.
"Well, here it is!" said Aurico.
The base was very attractive on the outside. They were in awe because the base looked so beautiful and advanced.
"Well," said Dana, "let's go inside!"
"Right!" said the others.
They entered the base, and the inside of this base was badly damaged. There were wires everywhere.
"Are you sure that we can make a base out of this junk heap?" asked Ryan.
"I told you that the base was in major disrepair!" said Tommy.
"Don't worry," said Dana, "we have to make this work somehow!"
"Let's keep moving then!" said Ryan.
"Right!" said Dana.
They kept searching. Then, Ryan saw something that was tangled in the wires.
"Hey, guys!" said Ryan, "look at this!"
Ryan moved some of the wires and saw a deactivated droid.
"What is it?" asked Dana.
"It looks like some sort of droid!" said Tommy, "in fact, it looks like an Alpha!"
"Alpha?" asked Dana.
"Alpha 5 and Alpha 6 were robotic assistants to Zordon when we first became Power Rangers," said Tommy.
"I see," said Dana, "there must be a way to reactivate it! Maybe it can help us!"
"I'm with you, Dana!" said Ryan, "let's remove some of these wires and set the droid free!"
"Good idea!" said Tommy.
They all removed the wires and set the droid free.
"I wonder if there is a way to activate it, somehow!" said Dana.
Ryan accidentally tapped the robot on its head, then it came alive! The robot was on defensive mode.
"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" said the droid.
"It's okay," said Dana, "we're not going to hurt you!"
Then, the droid relaxed.
"Who are you?" asked the droid, "I am Alpha."
"Alpha what?" asked Tommy.
"I am Alpha," said Alpha.
"Then, you must be one of the first Alphas ever made!" said Tommy.
"What are you talking about?" asked Alpha.
"Well, you may have been deactivated for a while, but now, there's an Alpha 5 and an Alpha 6. I don't recall there being an Alpha 2, 3, or 4," said Tommy.
"Where's Zordon?" asked Alpha.
"Zordon passed away," said Tommy, "he had a ranger destroy his life force, and as a result, many evil villains were destroyed or even healed!"
"I see!" said Alpha, "I'm sure going to miss him!"
"Yeah," said Dana, "I understand!"
Dana patted Alpha on the head. He enjoyed the brief head rub. Alpha resembled Alpha 6 and Alpha 5, except his color was blue.
"Now," said Ryan, "can you help us restore this base?"
"I sure can!" said Alpha, "I can do it very quickly! Just watch!"
Alpha moved very quickly and quickly repaired the base.
"There must be something special about this first Alpha that we didn't know," said Tommy.
"I agree!" said Ryan, "I never seen a robot work so fast in my life!"
The base was completely repaired, and the rangers were in awe, because they liked the results of Alpha's cleanup job. The base was attractive and more advanced than many other bases.
"We have a base!" said Ms. Fairweather, overjoyed.
"Okay," said Tommy, "now, that we have the base, we need to find rangers quickly."
"But we have no powers!" said Dana.
"That might be true," said Alpha, "but let me help you in this area."
"Is there anything that this Alpha can't do?" asked Ryan.
"Brush his teeth," said Dana.
"Yeah," said Ryan, "that's probably true."
"Follow me," said Alpha, "I know this base inside and out!"
Alpha led them to a room that was well lit. The rangers saw three morphers on a table.
"What are these?" asked Dana.
"They're power morphers!" said Alpha, "go ahead and take them."
Ryan and Dana lunged to the morphers, but Ms. Fairweather stopped them by extending her arm in front of them.
"Ryan, Dana," said Ms. Fairweather, "let's give others a chance! You guys would make excellent guides. I'll handle the technology part!"
"Yes," said Tommy, "I'll stay here and help also!"
"Unfortunately," said Aurico, "I have to get back to my home planet, Aquitar. If I stay here I will dehydrate quickly."
"I understand, Aurico," said Tommy, "thanks for your help!"
"Gladly, Tommy!" said Aurico.
Aurico teleported back to Aquitar.
"Well," said Ms. Fairweather, "let's focus on the Power Ranger issue. We need to find a place where people will gather."
"How about the Mariner Bay recreational center?" asked Ryan.
"That would make things too obvious," said Tommy.
"That's true," said Ryan, "I have another idea! Why don't we find people who work in the rescue field? They would most likely be suited for the job!"
"That's a good idea," said Dana, "all that we have to do is find those kind of situations!"
"Well," asked Ryan, "what about the power morphers?"
"Leave that to me!" said Ms. Fairweather.
"Well, Alpha," said Ryan, "we need to find these scenes, pronto!"
"I'm looking!" said Alpha.
They saw a robbery at the jewelry store.
"There's one!" said Ryan, "let's get going!"
They went to the jewelry store, and the police had arrived. The robbery came from the Notter Empire. The police extended their weapons, but the Notter Empire knocked the guns from their hands. The police began to run. Dana and Ryan went to face the Notter Empire and fought them with all of their martial arts skill. One police officer joined in, and the three of them fought well. The Malkors dropped the cash and jewelry and went back to the Notter Empire. One police officer then got up.
"You saved our lives!" said a police officer, "thank you!"
"Don't worry about us!" said Dana, "thank him!"
"It was no problem!" said the officer who fought with them.
Ryan thought to himself for a while.
"Say," said Ryan, "how would you like an opportunity?"
"Sure!" said the officer, "what is it?"
"We are assistants of the Power Rangers team," said Ryan, "how would you like to become a Power Ranger?"
"Sure!" said the officer, "if it were possible!"
"We'll it is," said Ryan, "just come with us! Take my arm!"
"Okay," said the officer.
At first, the officer was uneasy about taking Ryan's arm. Then the officer took Ryan's arm. They teleported to the base with the officer in tow. When they arrived, the officer was in awe of the architecture of the base.
"This place is amazing!" said the officer, "now, where's the Power Rangers stuff?"
"We have to find your other two teammates," said Ryan, "by they way, what is your name?"
"I'm Anthony Johnson!" said the officer.
"It is nice to meet you, Anthony!" said Dana.
Suddenly, another situation happened. Someone collapsed on the ground due to dehydration.
"I'm going!" said Dana, "trust me, I may be able to kill two birds with one stone!"
"Dana?" asked Anthony.
"Let me go with you!" said Anthony, "if we work together, we might just get the job done!"
"Sure!" said Dana, "let's go!"
Dana and Anthony went to the scene. Both the firefighters and the paramedics arrived at the scene. A few minutes later, Dana and Anthony arrived on the scene. Soon, some Malkors appeared on the scene, but their motive was unclear.
"Come on, Dana," said Anthony, "we can take these guys!"
Anthony and Dana commenced fighting the Malkors. One minute later, a paramedic and a firefighter joined in the fight. They managed to defeat the Malkors together. The Malkors were all defeated.
"Thanks for your help!" said Dana.
Suddenly, Dana thought to herself about the situation.
"Say," said Dana, "how would you two like to become Power Rangers?"
"Yeah!" said the firefighter.
"Sure!" said the paramedic.
"Great!" said Dana, "grab my arm!"
The paramedic felt a little uneasy taking Dana's arm.
"It's okay!" said Anthony.
The paramedic, the firefighter, and Anthony teleported to the base with Dana's help. They arrived safely at the base. They were also in awe of the base.
"What is this place?" asked the paramedic.
"It's the Power Rangers base of operations!" said Tommy.
"And I'm Alpha!" said Alpha.
"Nice to meet you, Alpha!" said the firefighter.
"What are your names?" asked Alpha.
"I'm Ian Chambers," said the firefighter.
"I'm Mary Ann Conway," said the peramedics.
The others also introduced themselves.
"Okay, everyone," said Ms. Fairweather, "it's time for the meeting!"
"What meeting?" asked Anthony.
"We have to tell you guys what's going on, don't we?" asked Ms. Fairweather.
"Alright," said Anthony, "no problem!"
"Alright, everyone," said Ms. Fairweather, "let's get started! We are facing the Notter Empire. King Golkan and Queen Redaria are the heads of the empire. Beware! They can be dangerous. Tykor, Rokor, and Kakor are their assistants and their warriors. The Malkors are their warriors. They also attack with small aircraft. Atror is their monster creator. Are there any questions?"
Silence was in the room.
"Okay, let me tell you about your powers," said Ms. Fairweather, "Anthony, you will be the black ranger. Mary Ann, you will be the white ranger. And finally, Ian, you will be the red ranger and the team captain.
"Team captain?" asked Ian, "are you sure that you have the right guy?"
"Trust me," said Tommy, "we did it for a good reason."
"Okay, I will continue," said Ms. Fairweather, "when a monster grows giant or when the situation warrants, you will pilot vehicles called zords. Ian, you have the fire tamer zord. Mary Ann, you have the ambulance zord. And finally, Anthony, you have the police cruiser zord. Each of your zords have special abilities. When your zords combine, they will form the Defense Megazord, which wields the Defense Saber. Now, each of you have two phaser blasters and a short sword. In addition, you all have your own individual weapons. Ian, you have the Fire Ax. Mary Ann, you have the Rescue Bow. And Anthony, you have the Police Rod. Together, these weapons form the Defense Blaster. Trust me, rangers, you can do this! Are there any questions?"
Silence was in the room. Then, Ms. Fairweather gave each of them their power morphers and their communicators.
"Cool!" said Ian and Anthony.
"So, are you ready to try out your new powers?" asked Ms. Fairweather.
"You bet we are!" said Ian.
"Well, there are some Malkors who are attacking people in the Mariner Bay city square!" said Ms. Fairweather, "I think that you guys can handle things from here!"
"Right," said Ian, "it's morphin' time!"
They morphed and went to the situation. The Malkors were not hard to fight. They defeated most of them, but King Galkon took the remainder of them back to the Notter base. The rangers celebrated their victory.
"Who are these freaks of nature?" asked King Galkon, "they're in the way of my universal conquest!"
"They call themselves the Power Rangers, dear!" said Queen Redaria, "they are a bunch of do-gooders! I hate them!"
"Anyway," said King Galkon, "I will conquer Earth! I will not accept defeat!"
King Galkon began to glow red all over in fury.
"Good job, guys!" said Tommy, "now, you still have to follow the ranger code of honor."
"What's that?" asked Anthony.
"They're our ground rules," said Tommy, "fight fair! Work as a team! Keep your identity and others as a secret. And finally, don't use your powers for personal gain. Can you do that?"
"Of course, we can!" said Mary Ann.
"Good," said Tommy, "well, welcome aboard. You are free to go and come as you please."
"Rangers," said Alpha, "I know this place inside and out. Would you like me to give them a tour?"
"That's up to them!" said Ms. Fairweather.
They all looked at the three rangers.
"Sure!" said Ian, "let's go!"
Alpha took them on a tour, and they had the opportunity to know the base inside and out.
"You know," said Mary Ann, "maybe we should hang out here more often. You never know when King Galkon plans attacks."
"That's probably a good idea," said Ms. Fairweather, "in fact, as rangers, you need to realize that you are always on duty!"
"No problem, Ms. Fairweather," said Mary Ann.
They all smiled and went their way.
