Episode Two The Next Step

Zandar. 13th Century. King Colin's Castle. The Meeting Room.

On a table looking like the round table from the legend of Camelot, Ivan, Lady Evangeline, Koda, Keeper, Dr. K , Dillon, and Tenaya are sitting around with King Colin in the middle and sitting on the highest chair.

"Welcome. Friends of Ivan. Feel welcomed to use the meeting room as your own. I apologized I cannot join you guys due my kingly duties. But I trust Lady Evangeline and my brave and loyal knight to look over this meeting you need today to plan the next step to stop an evil Queen." said King Colin.

" You can trust us. King Colin." said Ivan.

" Yea. It is an honor for our own king to trust us like this." said Lady Evangeline.

" And it is honor to have such loyal people by my side and also good friends. Now I must go . Have a great meeting." said King Colin.

King Colin walks out and closes the door.

"So I think that. Keeper should start first. He is pretty wise for his age. " said Ivan.

"Wat bout me. I wise too." said Koda.

" I know. Koda. Sorry. Okay you are wise too. Fine. Then it's up to you two. Determine who wants to start. " said Ivan.

" Koda can start. It's fine with me. " said Keeper.

" Thank you. Keeper." said Koda.

"You are welcomed. "said Keeper.

" Okay I now start. The situation is really bad. Really bad. Chase Evil. Friends killed. We must stop somehow." said Koda.

"Good first thoughts. Koda. Now Keeper. You continue from Koda's first thoughts." said Ivan.

"Thank you. Ivan." said Koda.

"And thank you. Ivan. And yes we must stop them. And figure out ways to deal with the situation. And also recruit more allies beside just the rangers we have here." said Keeper.

" Yea. With this new villain we have to face, I don't think our current team of three rangers and three non-rangers are enough. " said Dillon.

" Just cause Dr. K and myself are non-rangers doesn't mean we can't help. I still have my fighting skills from when I was brainwashed by Venjix." said Tenaya.

" But your brother does have a point. The both of us do not have powers and would be pretty useless in the fight. And you also make a point. I am the creator of the ranger series. I'm sure I'll figure something out. " said Dr. K.

"Sorry Dr. K. Sis. I didn't mean to offend you guys that way. I was just trying to be realistic. " said Dillon.

"It's okay. Brother. " said Tenaya.

"We both know you meant well in what you stated and did not mean to hurt our feelings." said Dr. K.

"Now you mentioned it. Dillon. Where we going to find more rangers? Plus how do we know if there any rangers left alive or even still on the good side." Said Ivan.

"I have no idea. But Dr. K here is a genius. I'm sure she will figure out a way. " said Dillon.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence. Dillon." said Dr. K.

"Sorry to interrupt in your main plan. But I must say. You all should plan on finding another place to reside. I'm just afraid if you all remain in this time period too long, ranger from the really far past, ranger from the future, and also you two gals, that it may change things that in your futures if you don't go back to your own time." said Lady Evangeline.

"Yes. Lady Evangeline makes a good point. What if you die here just coincidentally, and it changes the future of your world maybe for the worst. Or it could be the best. You never know. Time is a tricky subject to even understand truly. It's very complicated. For example. Koda. Explain what happened to our world after we and our friends went to change the past. " said Ivan.

"Oh yea. Since our team stopped Sledge, the big bad for our team of rangers, from causing the extinction of the dinosaurs, the Amber Beach Museum that used to be a museum become a dinosaur zoo. I mean it's great. Then. But what if it ended up worse. And the T-Rex went crazy and eat the plant-eaters. Luckily nothing drastic has happened yet. Ivan and I get into contact with Kendall every once in a while to check on them. And the zoo has been going fine. But now it is not going to be fine. "said Koda.

"And why is that? Koda? " said Dillon.

" I'm worried that the poor dinosaurs will be killed too like what Keeper has seen. What evil Chase caused. "said Koda.

" It is sad. Cause after the others and us risked our lives in the past making sure we wouldn't get killed making sure Sledge would not end up wiping the dinosaurs." said Ivan.

"Yea. There has be a way. We have to save our friends and especially Chase. "said Koda.

"With finding the rangers. I can use my staff to track the last morphing signal like I did with that ranger we found in the futuristic Silver Hills." said Keeper.

" I don't know that if that be a good idea. And pretty risky. What if in such case the morphing signal you detect could be coming from an evil ranger. " said Dillon.

" Yes. You make a good point. And we could be led into a trap. And the rangers we have now could end up getting killed." said Keeper.

" Anyone else have any other ideas. Dr. K? Tenaya? " said Ivan.

" Not at this moment." said Tenaya.

" Same. Besides I can't do anything useful due to technology not being known during this century yet." said Dr. K.

" This is why I suggested you all should head back to a more modern time period so it does not change the future much if you 21st century people continue staying here. And you. Koda too. You have to return back to your time." said Lady Evangeline.

"No I not. Before I stay away long away from my time to help friends. Years ago. In fight against Sledge. I can't go home now knowing that I can save my friends from death and bring back Chase somehow. " said Koda.

" Well. Ivan was right. You are a stubborn one. " said Lady Evangeline.

" What! Koda angry. Where club! I need throw at Ivan. You talk bad. About me!" said Koda.

Koda runs off to find something similar to a club.

" Hold on. There. Calm down. No need to be mad. You didn't hear the whole story. " said Lady Evangeline.

Lady Evangeline stops Koda in his tracks.

" No I not want calm. Ivan not good friend. Talk bad things. " said Koda.

"Please Koda. Calm down. And let me explain. Yes he did said you were sometimes stubborn. But there are also good things about you Ivan had said." said Lady Evangeline.

" Like what? " said Koda.

Koda looks curious and calms down.

"That you are kind hearted. Always put yourself before others and being a great teammate. And of course. The last thing. Is being a great friend." said Lady Evangeline.

" Oh then. I must apologize. " said Koda.

"Yes. Now come back to the table. Please. And talk to him. Trust me. I know what it's like to lose a friend and being not able to reunite with them again. " said Lady Evangeline.

" So sorry. Koda act rash. Me not good friend. " said Koda.

"It's okay. Koda. It's okay. Ivan will understand. He's your friend." said Lady Evangeline.

" You are right. I shall return to the table." said Koda.

Koda heads back over followed by Lady Evangeline right behind them. The two of them then take their seats.

" So Koda buddy. I'm sorry for what I said. I didn't mean to hurt your feeling like that. " said Ivan.

" It okay. Lady Evangeline explain everything. I sorry Ivan." said Koda.

" No I sorry. I shouldn't have not be so opened about it." said Ivan.

" No Koda sorry. I rash and not good friend." said Koda.

" No Koda. I am more the sorry one and should have considered your feelings before telling someone . " said Ivan.

" No no. Koda sorry most. I rash. I not good friend. I had to be calm and not angry. Bad Koda. "said Koda.

" No no. I'm sorry. I shouldn't…" said Ivan as he gets cut off by Lady Evangeline.

" Koda. Ivan! Cut it out! Boys. Stop fighting over who is more sorry for each other. The important task at hand is to deal with this evil Queen who has turned most of the power rangers evil and ordered them to kill with no traces." said Lady Evangeline.

" Sorry." said Ivan.

"Koda sorry. " said Koda.

"Remind me to never get on the bad side of her. " said Dillon.

"I will. " said Tenaya.

"As will I. She's worse when I get irritated about the spandex thing." said Dr. K.

"Uh huh. Do I know it. " said Dillon.

"Anyways. I think it's time to conclude this meeting. We brought out a lot of good points and plans for now. But it feels like it's been a long day with this meeting. Everyone should go rest or eat or maybe explore Zandar. " said Lady Evangeline.

" Yea. I agree with Lady Evangeline. It does feel like it's been a long day. But before exploring, I think it is about lunchtime. King Colin is probably waiting for us to join him in the dining hall. "said Ivan.

" Alright. Man. I am starving." said Dillon.

" Koda hungry too. " said Koda.

" Alright then. Let's head out then." said Ivan.

" And if you're worried if anyone can come in. Don't worry about that. We have the guards that will lock up the room after we all leave." said Lady Evangeline.

All of them then head out of the room. After everyone had left, the two guards then close the lock the doors and stands guard outside it.

Mysticvale. Queen Annabelle's Castle. The Courtyard.

Ravi and Roxy are now hanging out all lovey-dovey in the courtyard of the castle.

"It's nice we can be finally together again. With you not being a ranger, I can be with you." said Ravi.

"Yea. And it's nice. I'm not glitching anymore. Queen Morgana has truly did it. I am now a real person now. And about that rule. Who cares? We don't live in that city anymore or even world. Those rules don't apply here." said Roxy.

"You're right. My Roxy. The good thing that we are together again. It's just I miss you very much." said Ravi.

"I did too when I placed into that coma thanks to Evox. Now we are away from her and he won't split us ever again. My Ravi." said Roxy.

" We are together and happy. With no silly rules and or anyone wanting to split us up. " said Ravi.

" Yea. I love you. Ravi. " said Roxy.

" I love you too. " said Ravi.

Ravi and Roxy then start kissing passionately until they are interrupted by the pink jungle fury ranger, who is in her civilian form and is wearing a pink colored jungle fury jacket.

"Aw how cute. This is so sweet. Not. " said the Pink Jungle Fury Ranger.

"You're just jealous that you don't something as good as we do. Um. I don't think I got a chance to introduce ourselves to you cause we couldn't find you in the morning. " said Ravi.

"Yea. "said Roxy.

"That's because I was training. And the name is Cordelia. The Jungle Fury Pink Ranger. With the Prowlness of the Panther." said Cordelia.

"So what brings you here? And interrupting our nice moment. " said Ravi.

" Uh huh. It was so rude of you." said Roxy.

" The Queen is calling for everyone to meet in the throne room for the next step in her plan. " said Cordelia.

" Sounds good. I guess it's time for us to serve the Queen again." said Ravi.

" Ah yes. We both owe her a lot for allowing us a way to finally be together again." said Roxy.

" Alright then. You two lovebirds. Let's get moving." said Cordelia.

Ravi and Roxy then head back into the castle followed by Cordelia.

Mysticvale. Queen Annabelle's Castle. The Throne Room.

Ravi, Roxy, and Cordelia then arrive and bow to her before they join the others.

"We are here as you called. Queen Annabelle." said Ravi.

"My love and I at your service." said Roxy.

"Great. And Cordelia. Thank you for getting everyone together for the next step in my plan to spread my rule across all of the ranger universes. " said Queen Annabelle.

"It is no problem. My Queen. "said Cordelia.

"Now it is time for me to reveal the plan. And hear it well." said Queen Annabelle.

"Yes. All hail our Queen. " said all of the rangers there.

"My rangers. You will all go back to your home and lay waste to the city. And warning everyone that their future ruler will now be me, Queen Annabelle." said Queen Annabelle.

" But my queen. Most of us are not a duo team like the sibling team of the Gold and Silver RPM rangers. We can't manage it on our own without our zords. "said Andros.

" Yes. Since we had all destroyed the base that held our zords in our time and world. " said Zach.

"Don't worry about that. I have a Technological magician who is an expert on that. And will provide new zords for everyone. I may live in a castle. But it is very advanced. We are basically like England where I am like Queen Victoria. " said Queen Annabelle.

"Well that is great news. There was no way we could be able to access our time force zords anymore." said Wes.

"Yea. With the time base destroyed, there could be no way to send them through a time portal when needed to fight." said Jen.

"As for me. I still got my zord. The Queen helped me turn it to the evil side by using her magic to manipulate my black dino gem." said Chase.

Chase's black dino gem that he is wearing around his neck now had a dark reddish outlines on the tips of his dino gem.

"Same. I use the power of animal spirit to summon my panther zord." said Cordelia.

" And I was able to bring my gorilla zord here too. I have to also thank Technox for rewiring Smash to follow my orders completely to the tee with no questions. The good Ravi would have hated that but I love this. " said Ravi.

Technox then enters the room.

"Why thank you. Ravi. It was my honor to play around with that bot and so fun when he tried to resist the programming. But no one is no match against my technological magic. " said Technox.

" Hello Technox. How are the zords for the rangers going along? " said Queen Annabelle.

" It's in progress. And going great. Should take about a week or two to complete. " said Technox.

"A week or two! That is a long wait. I don't how long I want to postpone my conquer plans." said Queen Annabelle.

"Perfect things takes time. I want to make sure all of the zords are in good shape before going into battle. And Ravi. I would like to look over your zord to make sure it is in tip top shape." said Technox.

"Of course. That is alright. " said Ravi.

" Thank you. Now I must leave. I bid you adieu. My Queen." said Technox.

Technox bows to Queen Annabelle and then stands up again. He then leaves the throne room.

" So my rangers. The meeting is done. I will see in about a week or two to continue with the plan." said Queen Annabelle.

" As you wish. " said the rangers.

The rangers then take their leave. Queen Annabelle then takes her leave too heading towards her bedroom.

Silver Hills. 3019. The Streets.

Alex is in the Time Shadow X Megazord. The megazord looks a bit more advanced now and has now shoulder blasters on it. He is fighting off a giant robot.

"Oh man. This is harder than I thought. Back then, I had so much energy and fire. But now I'm getting old. But I must keep fighting to protect this future. And also to one day. Save Jen and Wes. I swear on my life I will do whatever it takes to fight for Silver Hill's future and getting back my dear friends. Now take that. Shadow X Blast!" said Alex.

The shoulder cannon charges with energy and shoots large beams destroy the giant robot putting it into pieces.

"Alright I did…. i…t." said Alex.

Then Alex is knocked out and falls to the floor by someone wearing a dark cloak having raven black hair.

"Oh honey. I'm so sorry. But the Queen needs you on our side and not against us. "said dark cloaked woman with raven black hair.

The dark cloaked woman with raven black hair then activates the self-destruct function on the Time Shadow X Megazord and teleports out with Alex in a flurry of dark light.

Silver Hills. 2019. Silver Guardians Underground Base. Command Room.

Eric is sitting in the command room and trying to figuring how to pinpoint weird anomalies on the mainframe computer but has no luck as he sees signals are going everywhere and not have a precise location. He then pounds the table in anger.

"Ugh. This is ridiculous. Other times I did it before. I was able to figure out something and then let the Time Force rangers so all of us can help. It's so change. Like someone is trying to mess with the signal on purpose. " said Eric.

Sophie then comes with a tray of finger sandwiches and a glass of lemonade for him.

"Hey honey. I knew you were working long to figure out something important so didn't want to disturb you and then realized you could be hungry. Here you go. Some food. And a glass of lemonade." said Sophie.

"Thanks honey. You're the best. So where's the kids. Are they okay? " said Eric.

Eric grabs a finger sandwich to eat and the glass of lemonade and sets it down.

"They are fine but still worried if there will be a normal life for them again. I got Frank to get them to play video games to get their mind off things. And I am also worried." said Sophie.

"I know honey. That is why I am trying to figure if there are any weird anomalies. If found, I can go and fix things. Bring Wes back to normal again. I mean. At first. I hated him for his privileged life, having everything handed to him while I had to work hard to be accepted into that preppy rich school. But things change. And I should have not judge him like that. " said Eric.

"I know. Babe. You feel distraught being unable to save your friend from that fate. " said Sophie.

Then the computers starts to beep. On the screen, it says, Anomaly found. Four individuals displaced in time. Identities not known. Location. 13th Century Zandar.

"Oh my goodness. This is goodness. I finally got something. These displaced individuals. They must be fellow rangers like myself who escaped the wrath of the Queen's evil rangers. But the thing is. How are we going to get to them? It's not like we have time travel equipment. "said Eric.

Sophie then remembers Eric had left her with the transportal device when Eric helped Sophie, Erik, and Erika escape from Wes and Jen.

"Oh my god. Remember that device you gave me. I mean it could be the key. It can take us to them. Didn't you said it came out of a portal and landed in your room?" said Sophie.

" Yea. So if it came from a portal. That means it can create portals and take us to those rangers. " said Sophie.

"No no no. You mean me. I can't let you go with me. Babe. It's too dangerous. You're not a ranger. And if anything happens to any of us. The kids will become orphans. " said Eric.

"I know. But if anything happens , then the kids would left without a father. " said Sophie.

Sophie starts to tear up.

"I know honey. But this is the only way. I'm a Power Ranger. And a Power Ranger must do whatever it takes to protect the city and also their loved ones from home. I can't make no promises but I'll try my best come back home again after this mission." said Eric.

"Oh no. You are not going to try. You must come home. " said Sophie.

Sophie tears up even more causing Eric now to start to tear up.

"I know honey. But it's harder than you think. You can never predict what can happen. And if anything happens. Tell the kids I love them and are very proud of them." said Eric.

Eric now tears up.

"Oh god. Now the both of us are tearing up. It's really serious when even the both of us are letting our emotions take the best of us. "said Sophie.

" I plan to leave tomorrow morning. Cause you know. I want to say goodbye to the kids tonight. I don't want to regret not seeing them one last time before I leave for this trip." said Eric.

" Oh Eric. That is why you're such a great father. Willing put yourself at risk to save their future. " said Sophie.

" You know. Sophie. You're a good mother too. I seen it in action. Comforting the kids on their bad days and letting themselves voice their emotions towards you and giving good advice. And you are really good with talking with them. I completely suck at them." said Eric.

" I completely agree with that. But you got other qualities. You're a great cook and a noble hero. Working for the Silver Guardians to protect the peace is great. And you are super passionate about it. That is what I love about you. What made me fall in love with you. Your passion. It's a great quality." said Sophie.

" Come on. Let's get these remaining finger sandwiches to the kids. I mean these are way too many for me to finish by myself. " said Eric.

" Not if I help. Plus I want to spend some time with you right now. If you know what I mean. " said Sophie.

" Of course. I know. To our bedroom. " said Eric.

Eric finishes his glass of lemonade. They both then head towards their bedroom giggling with Sophie carrying the tray with the remaining eight finger sandwiches.

Mysticvale. Queen Annabelle's Castle. The Dungeon.

Alex is in the dungeon chained to the wall. He notices that his chrono morpher is not on him and is in an unfamiliar place.

"Man what is this place? And who knocked me out. Also where is my morpher?" said Alex.

The dark cloaked woman with raven black hair then walks in and gives Alex a very passionate kiss.

" Hey honey. You like your new home? " said the dark cloaked woman with raven black hair.

Alex is shocked and starts to recognize as his wife.

"Jocelyn. Oh my god. She got to you. Snap out of this. Babe. Please. I already lost my friends to her but not you too. My love. And what about the kids. "said Alex.

" Oh. Alex baby. They are alright. We can all be a happy family once you join the

Queen's side." said Jocelyn.

" Oh that witch! How dare she? Used you and our kids against me. When I get out of here, she's in for it. " said Alex.

" Oh shush. You shall not speak about the Queen that way. Soon you will be changing your tune. And join our side. " said Jocelyn.

" Oh man. That witch had really got to you. You would never be like this. Come on. Fight it. Babe. Jocelyn. Please. I know you can do it. For our love." said Alex.

Alex brings her face in with his chained hands and kisses her passionately hoping to spark her love to break out of the control. Jocelyn then slaps him.

" How dare you? I guess it will be the hard one. You will join our side." said Jocelyn.

" I will never. I am too good . "said Alex.

"Muhahaha. " said a hidden voice.

" Who's there? " said Alex.

Queen Annabelle is wearing a royal fancy navy blue dress and a crimson cape and walks up to him.

"Oh my. That is the same thing your wife said. Your kids. Wes. Jen. Their kids. The rangers I converted. All said before. Come one. No one is pure good except that Zordon guy I have heard of." said Queen Annabelle.

" Zordon is a legend. He sacrificed himself for the greater good. You have no right to even speak of his name. " said Alex.

" Wow. You really highly think of him. I would say he was more of a coward. I mean asking inexperienced individuals to fight against evil. I mean Zordon was pretty lucky those teens were able to hold their own. " said Queen Annabelle.

Alex's face is now full of rage.

"Don't you insult Zordon like that! Again. As I said. When I'm getting out of here, you are getting it. "said Alex.

"I'll take note of your threat. It's refreshing. But once I'm done with you, you will forget about this whole conversation." said Queen Annabelle.

"Doubtful. I will as much I can against your control. You can bet on it. "said Alex.

"Trust. You won't be able to resist like all of the others before you. Now it's time. " said Queen Annabelle.

"It's time to join us. The right side. " said Jocelyn.

" Oh my. Babe. I see that the Queen has truly brainwashed. I'll bring you back to yourself one day." said Alex.

"Oh honey. I am my true self now. This is the better me." said Jocelyn.

"Alright then. It's time for you to join our side. " said Queen Anabelle.

Queen Annabelle grabs small black box and opens it. A black colored evil seed then comes and flies into Alex's body.

" Aah! " said Alex screaming in pain trying to resist the control.

"Soon Alex. You won't be able to fight anymore and join our side." said Queen Annabelle.

Queen Annabelle and Jocelyn then grin evilly as they watch Alex continuing to scream in pain as the evil seed continues to take control over him.
