Everything had come full circle it seemed. Jason thought as he heard the second bell ring. He went through the motions of getting out his notebook and opening it. He clicked the eraser on the mechanical pencil a couple of times and began to scrawl a few words across the page. It didn't matter, he knew Billy would let him copy any notes he needed. Besides, they'd been preparing for the state test all month, he was confident he'd score high, at least in Biology.

Mrs. Cuboard, a sassy twenty something, pleasantly plump woman, strode into the room.

"Good morning, Students." she said in a no nonsensey voice. Mrs. Cuboard was serious about her morning greetings.

"Good morning, Mrs. Cuboard." The class chimed more or less in unison.

"As you know, we have the ever important CSRT coming Wednesday and Thursday. Today and tomorrow will be reviews, reviews, reviews. I can not stress enough the importance of this test." Mrs. Cuboard went on to explain how the state scored the school on how well the students were learning and if the school failed the state requirements for a third time in a row, there would be lots of trouble.

"So, let's start with a few reviews! Jason Scott! Good morning!"

Jason popped his head up and smiled good naturedley.

"Morning, Mrs. C."

"Jason; Which method of fly population control is most harmful to other organisms in the environment?"

"Spraying broad-range insecticides. Gets on our crops, in our water."

Mrs. C pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.

"See, I knew you were paying attention. That's what I'm talking about-" she crossed the room, her wedge heeled shoes clunking against the old wooden floor. "Y'all kids will pass this time, I can feel it." She flicked on the projector that had been set up on one of the desk in front of Jason. "Juan, honey can you get the lights? Thank you. Now class, the test will consist of questions regarding-"

The rest of first period was spent reviewing, writing and answering questions. After first period came Geometry with Mr. McGlover. Jason struggled with Mathmatics and would be glad that this would be his last year taking a Math course. No sense in dragging out that option. Third period brought him once again back to the Science Labs with Chemistry. Fourth Period was English. Finally a class he enjoyed and all of his friends had somehow landed there as well.

Jason took his seat and anxiously waited for his friends to arrive. He didn't know why he felt like he hadn't seen them for a very long time, but it really had been just a few hours. Maybe it was because of the link they all shared. There was a bit of a thrill when they were all together and the Power Rangers were mentioned. Their shared looks of triumph and shy, tight smiles made them all appreciate each other. Kimberly Hart and Tommy Oliver arrived first. Kim sat in the third ailse, Tommy sat in the second ailse diagnol from Jason. Billy Cranson sat behind Tommy. Zack strolled in and sat behind Kimberly. Finally, Trini Kawn, slipping inside the door right before the second bell rang, came and sat in front of Jason.

"Ugggghhh...Jason, you little bastard." Goldar, the dog like warrior from a far off planet growled lowly as he observed the five teenagers through the magically enhanced telescope of his mistress. At 6 foot 11, the golden, armor clad dog demon was terrifying.

Earlier Goldar had noticed how clear the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth looked and thought he'd take a gander at the Power Punks shitty little home town when the Moon orbited around today. He'd seen Jason making the girl fall and thought it was hilarious. He'd also seen Tommy and Kimberly sneaking out of the girls locker room, Zack and Billy rushing to Calculus and Trini arriving to school late. With his mistress, Rita Repulsa, recovering from the extreme energy depleation she suffered from the loss of the Green Power Coin, Goldar was left in charge of Moon Base Operations. He was ordered not to make any attacks on Earth until the mistress recovered. He was to keep the neccessities of the base running and that was all. Goldar was bored. His hands ached to fight something, anything. He wished he could teleport the Red Ranger and beat him to a bloody pulp. The image of Jason's face twisted and bruised surfaced in the Dog Warriors mind. His upper lip pulled back in a grin revealling sharp, long white teeth.

"What are you learing at?"

Goldar hardly was surprised to see Scorpina behind him. She was in semi-human form. Her beautiful black hair hung straight down her back. Her golden armor hugged her skin nicely.

"Power Bastards." Goldar replied, his voice low. Scorpina had seen the Red Ranger defeat him on a few occasions. The embarassment still stung slightly. Scorpina waltzed out onto the balcony and seized the scope from Goldar's hands. She peered through the lens.

"Humph...there doesn't seem to be too much going on down there." she said as she adjusted the scope until the image of Jason and the pther four rangers became clear. Scorpina swung the scope towards the classroom door just in time to see a young woman step through the classroom door nervously.

Why did that girl look so familiar?

"Goldar-look" Scorpina thrust the scope back into Goldar's hands and pushed his head down to look through. "That girl standing in the doorway...who is she?"

Goldar, his large frame haunched over uncomfortably, looked through the lens as best he could. He saw the pitifully human girl standing in the doorway. It had been the same girl that Jason had tripped earlier in the day.

The girls face made a memory surface briefly.

His mind wondered back to the glorious times of their early conquering. Together he and huge squads of Putty Patrolers would lay waste to an entire planets defensive systems in a matter of moments. The thrill of battle as he blast bolts of raw energy into a worthy opponant. The rush as his sword sliced off anything it came into contact with. Women, children, it did not matter, for he felled them all if they resisted. Sometimes even if they did not. And when a planet made its land stand...

Oh...the sweet satisfaction of victory. The power of wiping whole spiecies out in one smooth attack.

But always, there was that meddeling Zordon.

"Well?" Scorpina punched him in the shoulder, bringing him back to reality. He resisted the urge to yap at her, though his jawls did have a taste for flesh. He looked through the scope one last time. A plan formed in his mind.

"I don't know." He growled again. Goldar pushed the scope away. " I need to DO something Scorpina, this is driving me mad. We're just sitting around here with a world NOT conquered down there." He paced back and forth. Scorpino sighed and crossed her arms. "We're not even focusing on any other worlds. You know there are EIGHT other planets in this solar system right? Most of those planets have moons and, get this-" Goldar paused to shake his head, " there's an asteroid belt." he resumed his pacing. "An asteroid belt! Imagine the amount of magical items that have been stored there! All the metals you need to create new types of relics and armor."

"Can it, Goldar!" Scorpina tsked and rolled her eyes. She was tired of his mouth. Come to think of it, she was tired of the Palace. "If you're that bored why don't you go to the surface. Rita said you couldn't attack Earth, she didn't say anything about not going down there and doing a little snooping around." She uncrossed her arms and walked away from Goldar heading into the Palace. "As for me; this place blows, I'm going home." Right before she stepped inside the Palace, Scorpina snapped her fingers and disappeared in a flash of light. "Call me when something fun happens."

Goldar turned his attentions once again to the blue, jewel like planet before him and laughed. She was right! He would bide his time however and watch and wait.

Soon. Soon.
