Angel Grove, California, the next day:

A city, too big to be a small town but too small to be a major city. In a local high school, one could find a small group of friends, consisting out of four guys and two girls. The six of them laughed out loud, especially since the day was over. They were still inside the school building, while deciding on what to do next.

"So, you guys wanna hang out at the youth centre?" the tallest of the guys, who was dressed in white clothes, spoke.

"Sounds great." another guy replied, whose clothes bore a red color, "Heard that they finally renewed those old mats. It should be safer to spar now."

"Oh really?!" a somewhat bulkier voice, which didn't belong to anyone in the group, questioned.

Everyone turned to look at who was talking. It were two guys, dressed as punks, one looked as he sounded (bulky), the other had a hat which bore the image of a skull, which earned them their nicknames.

"Only losers go to that youth centre." the bulky, or fat one of the two laughed at his own remark.

"Bulk and Skull." one of the girls, a small one who appeared to like pink, mentioned their names, "I thought the circus was on the other side of town."

"Hey Bulk..." the skinny one of the two, apparently called Skull, "Is there really a circus here?"

"No, it was an insult." the fat one, Bulk, explained.

"I don't remember him asking you to come along." the other girl, who was black but bore yellow colors on her clothes.

"If you want..." one of the other guys, who wore blue clothes, started, "... maybe we don't have to go to the youth centre to spar."

"I don't know." the last guy, with whom the color black dominated his clothes, "One sack of meat and a French fry aren't really good sparing partners."

Skull laughed: "They wanna fight meat and fries.

"You dimwit, he meant us." Bulk had to tell him.

Once Skull understood, Bulk decided the following: "You... are goners."

He readied himself for combat, but the guy in white demonstrated his martial artist's moves so to back him off.

Once he was finished, he asked, while pointing to the guy in red: "Want Rocky to show you his too?"

Bulk didn't know what to say at first, but then turned around saying: "Come on Skull, we don't want to spend more time with these dweebs."

They walked away, though it nearly looked as though they were running.

"That'll teach them." the guy in blue said.

"They honestly think they're so rad, and that's why they pick on us." the girl in pink complained.

"Not to worry, Kim." the girl in yellow assured her, "They just don't know any better."

"Be that as it may..." somebody else's voice spoke, "... they're right about one thing."

The six of them turned to look at someone, who apparently witnessed what had just transpired there.

"Haven't you outgrown that centre by now?" he continued, "I know those punks are just being creeps, but in this case I can't really blame them."

"Oh come on, Terry." the guy in black stated, "Don't ju..."

"That's Terrence, Adam." the guy interrupted, "Hate it when people call me that."

"Hey, chill out, man." the red guy, who was apparently called Rocky, started, "You really gotta get out of those books of yours and live a little."

"Yeah sure." Terrence shut his locker after saying that.

Unfortunately, upon doing so, he accidentally dropped a news paper clipping. The guy in blue picked it up.

"What's it say, Billy?" the guy in black, Adam, asked him.

"Moon explorers missing." he read from the clipping.

"You start seeing aliens again?" the one in pink, Kim, wondered.

The others laughed slightly, at which point Terrence took the clipping back: "You see, that's why I'm not friends with either one of you. There's not one subject I can share with you without you needing to ridicule it."

"Oh come now." the guy in blue, Billy, said with a calm voice, "You really don't need to use those fancy words there just to make a point."

"Nor do I need to stay here and discuss the rest of this with you." Terrence replied.

"Then why did you even start talking?" the girl in yellow asked him.

"If you must know, Aisha..." Terrence answered, "... I was hoping I could change your attitude. Guess I was wrong."

The girl in yellow, Aisha, wanted to say something back, but by that time Terrence had already lost interest and walked away, towards the building's exit.

"He sure is messed up." Billy remarked.

"Maybe he should take one of your martial arts classes to calm down, Tommy." Kim advised to the guy in white, Tommy.

Meanwhile, the situation on the moon had changed, but not for the better. Where there was once a crater, a fortress had suddenly emerged out of nowhere. Inside the fortress, there were two people. These two were the same astronauts from before, however, for some reason they could suddenly shoot lightning out of their hands, with which they could finish the fortress, to a point where there's no danger of either suffocation or radiation. Once that was done, the two took off their suits. The woman was suddenly dressed into an attire that would suggest her to be some kind of mixture between a witch and a sort of authority figure, a queen or an empress. The man, on the other hand, had undergone a complete change in appearance, as his entire body was turned into some kind of brown creature, wearing metallic garments, which resembled a human skeleton, not to mention his mask, which had some kind of piece to cover the mouth but allowed for him to breath, and a red visor. Once the two of them were out of their suits, they allowed for staffs to appear in their hands, one for each. With those staffs, they destroyed the suits they just came out of.

"Hah!" the man shouted, "I never want to see those things again!"

"Me neither." the woman replied, at which point they both froze.

"What was that we just said?" the man wondered.

"Those wretched humans whose bodies we took..." the woman thought out loud, "... it has to be their language."

This was something the man could live with: "A lot has changed in all those years we were stuck."

"Even this woman's name is terrible, 'Rita'." the woman remarked, "But I like it!"

"A new name for a new era..." the man thought about it, then looked at the top of his staff, which bore the lettre 'Z', and realized something else, "This here even means something else in this era. Humans call it 'zed'."

"Zed? How hidiously disrespectful." the woman, Rita, snarled.

"Yes." the man agreed, "But I'll make the world respect it, for I will now be known as Zedd. Lord Zedd!"

Rita laughed, menacingly: "Sounds scary enough."

"And my first deed, as Lord Zedd, will be to bring back some old servants." the man, Zedd, sounded happy, after which he pointed his head towards Earth, from which he shot more lightning. Rita followed his example.

At the zoo, a monkey just found a golden coin, which somebody tossed at him, to tease him. Zedd's lightning hit him, which changed the monkey into a human-sized ape-like monster in golden armor. At the same zoo, there was a pig, which got hit by Rita's lightning, which turned him into a monster as well. Once both of them appeared, people started to run away from them, which left enough time for the two to find each other. Once they did, they immediately recognized each other.

"Goldar?" the pig monster sounded happy to see him.

"Mordant..." the ape hissed.

"If we're back, that must mean..." Mordant started.

"Our masters have returned!" Goldar finished for him.

Both were more than happy with that idea.
