"Come again?" Ziggy asked slightly shocked, "Venjix. As in the computer virus that ended the world within 3 years. That Venjix."
"Yes Ziggy." Dr K replied, "He must have uploaded himself into Scott's morpher before the command centre crashed on him."
"What are we going to do?" Ziggy asked, "Last time there were the power rangers. I was a power ranger, now I'm a puppet shadows teachers also an art teacher. What am I meant to do?"
"We have to go back to the garage." Dr K said standing up and walking over to Ziggy, "That's where the morphers are."
Meanwhile in another state of America, Dillon, Summer and Tenaya were helping out the local people. They were visiting a colony where some of the survivals stayed and stayed safe of the attacks. They were walking back from their lunch break when…
"Dillon." Summer said walking over to the TV screen in the shop window, "Look at this."
Dillon wandered over followed by Tenaya and the trio looked on in shock. Dillon was the first to ask, "Is that Scott?"
"It can't be." Summer said, "Dr K would have told us if we were needed."
"We have been pretty busy lately." Tenaya commented, "She may have left a message and we might not have received it."
"Okay if that's Scott then why is he destroying everything?" Dillon asked looking at the girls, "I know Scott could get angry but not this angry."
"Maybe Ziggy scratched his car." Tenaya said.
The trio laughed slightly but then went back to analysing the evidence.
"There is one possibility." Summer said quietly. She looked at Dillon who knew what she meant; he gulped but was too afraid to say it.
Tenaya was the only one out of the three of them to pipe up and ask the dreadful question, "Could it be Venjix?"
Back in Cornith City, 2 of the previous rangers were out having a delightful date. They were half way through eating their delicious main course when they overheard the waitress fearfully tell a fellow waiter the news.
"Apparently the red ranger is in the other side of town." The waitress said distressed, "He's destroying everything. I thought we could trust rangers."
Flynn and Gemma stopped eating and looked at each other shocked and confused.
"Did she just say Scott has his morpher back?" Flynn asked with his thick Scottish accent.
"Yeah she did but how?" Gemma asked, "Dr K said if she needed us, she would contact us and I saw Scott at Eagle squad this morning, he didn't say anything about his morpher."
"I don't know but there is only one way to find out." Flynn said getting his wallet out and leaving a few 20 dollar notes on the table, "We need to find Dr K."
Scott, the actual RPM red ranger, had just finished his circuit of flying around nearby towns and seeing if they were safe. Unfortunately, he wasn't looking out for a familiar red ranger destroying the city of Cornith. When Scott arrived back at his flat he currently shared with Gem and Gemma, he turned on the TV.
"Hey Scott!" Gem said happily filling in his journal, "How was your round?"
"It was good, not an evil machine in sight." He replied, "Have you heard from Gemma or Flynn?"
"No I haven't." Gem said a little sad, "I hope Gemma gets back soon."
Scott nodded while flicking through channels to find something remotely interesting to watch when he spotted himself on the news.
"Hey Gem, they're showing footage of us from last year." Scott said slightly confused.
"That's that last year." Gem said, "That's happening now."
"What it can't be." Scott said, "Because I'm here and not there. Something's not right. Do you think some ones trying to frame me?"
"How can they, the morphers have our DNA imprinted on them, we can only active them."
"So what is happening?"
"I don't know but I think Dr K might know-"
"So let's go." Scott said getting up off the sofa and leaving the flat.
Ziggy and Dr K arrived back at the garage. No one had been inside their since they handed in their morphers, there had no need to be. Dr K opened it up and Ziggy turned on the lights. It looked exactly the same. Some of Flynn's experiments were still in his workplace and there were tyre marks from where Scott's and Dillon's cars had come racing in a year ago.
"Wow." Ziggy said.
"There's no time for that." Dr K said opening what seemed to be a cupboard but was in fact a farther large safe. She opened it and pulled out a silver case which was padlocked twice. Ziggy knew straight away it was the morphers. She pulled the key out of her pocket, he would ask her about that later, and opened the case. She pulled out a familiar looking object.
"Ziggy." She said handing him back his morpher, "Please be careful."
"I will Doc." Ziggy said putting the morpher back where it belonged, "You can trust me."
Dr K gave him a doubtful look but left to start up the computers while Ziggy left the garage in search for Venjix. He had a rough idea of where he was and hopefully he hadn't moved from that spot. Luckily for Ziggy the screaming gave his location away. He ran towards it and stopped a few metres away from ranger.
"Ranger Green." The voice said, "It's been a long time."
"Not long enough!" Ziggy said, "Why did you come back?"
"Like I said once before your world is my world and your time is up." They replied, "Got anything else to say.
Ziggy smiled and nodded, "RPM get in gear!"
A green flash appeared in front of the imposters eyes. They both knew what to do.
"Turbo axe!"
"Nitro blaster!"
Within seconds both rangers were fighting one another. Ziggy's skills had improved impressively since becoming a ranger however there were still some flaws. Ziggy made a swing for his foe but swung too hard and missed him while spinning around in a circle.
"What's wrong? Axe to heavy?"
"Dr K." Ziggy said, "I need some help."
"I know Ziggy." Dr K said through the communicator, "I'm trying to increase the power but something is blocking it. It's seems like the computer is searching for some ranger power that we can use but the only trouble is there isn't any power. The computers are still quite damaged so your ranger suit is at full power but after you de-morph I won't be able to re-energise your morpher for a while."
"Is there anything you can do?" Ziggy pleaded.
"Nothing I'm afraid." Dr K said, "Although my computer is still searching for some type of power. It says it's found some but it won't give me the location of it."
"Whatever just use it!"
Dr K sighed and pressed the enter key and waited, "Anything happened?"
"Nothing Doc. Venjix however won't give up." Ziggy said while flying in the air and bashing into wall. He never realised how powerful there weapons were especially Scott's. Ziggy slowly got up and ran towards Venjix hoping to eventually hit him.
"Okay well I'm sure the others have seen what has happened and are on their way." Dr K said, "Hopefully".
"They better be." Ziggy exclaimed tired and worn out.
Ziggy took his remaining strength and hoped that the extra power, Dr K asked for will appear from his suit and help him even if it is going to be for a few seconds.
Angel Grove
The argument was blazing through the house. None of the past rangers were quiet or speaking rationally well 2 of them were. Rocky and Aisha were standing away from their friends and wanting out of this argument. However their friends were having none of it.
"Rocky!" Tommy shouted, "You were the one who noticed I liked Kat in the first place. Tell her how distracted I was in training."
"Well-"
"Don't bring Rocky into this." Kat exclaimed, "Clearly he doesn't want to be involved."
Rocky chose it was probably best to stay quiet as his friends seemed to have forgotten about his proof. His scanned the room for Jason and Kim, who were arguing a little more quiet but still shouting.
"I came back to Angel Grove to help build the shelters and you know that." Kim argued to Jason, "Also we went on that date before"
"I thought you said it wasn't a date!" Jason exclaimed, "Anyway you kept mentioning Tommy the whole way there."
"What were we meant to talk about? Rocky?"
"Hey, I'm interesting." Rocky argued back gaining himself a glare from both Jason and Kim.
Aisha sat down sighing on the armchair, she looked around the room. She thought that everyone would get along, they did last time but last time was different. She had to remember that. Tommy and Kim were dating and Jason had left and Kat wasn't even a ranger yet. Had things changed that much? Even Tanya and Adam were arguing slightly, you could tell that they didn't want to make a scene but they were still debating over something.
"You seriously think taking Jason and Tommy to do some training is a good idea?" Tanya asked, "They would kill each other."
"What else is there to do?" Adam asked, "Everyone's arguing, Rocky's hungry and Aisha's upset. We need something to take our minds of this."
"Okay how about I take the girls shopping then." Tanya suggested.
Rocky slouched down next to Aisha and smiled at her sadly. This whole reunion was a disaster and they still had two weeks with each other. Aisha was about to speak to him when Tommy yelled over to Rocky.
"Can you answer that?" He asked passing him the phone, "I don't think anyone noticed it was ringing"
He grabbed the phone and looked at Tommy, who had gone straight back to arguing with Kat. He pressed the answer key and listened to the caller confused.
"Sorry." Rocky replied confused, "I haven't heard of a domed city of Cornith. Wait what's happening? How is it in danger?"
Rocky's questions stopped when the ground started moving.
"Oh no an earthquake." Kim exclaimed holding on to Jason. Suddenly everyone's arguments had stopped and were temporarily forgotten as when they opened their eyes. They found themselves in an unfamiliar environment with 4 rangers look down at them confused. However one of them stepped forwards and helped Adam up.
"Hey I'm Ziggy." He said, "Are you guys alright?"
