The Rangers, Adam and Aisha were returned to the park not far from where Mr. Anderson, Bulk and Skull were. Adam and Aisha were still trying to come to grips with the day's events they hadn't even thought about Rocky. But the Power Rangers wondered what Zordon had meant.

They had only met the teens hours ago and knew nothing about them. As they headed back to the Youth Center they wondered aloud about it. Their ideas ranged from the thought that perhaps he was another Power Ranger like person or perhaps they worked for Lord Zedd. Billy pointed out that the unlikeliness of that. He didn't think Zordon would have let them in the Command Center and Goldar had kidnapped them to get them to work for Zedd. If they were already worked for Zedd, they wouldn't have been kidnapped. Not even Goldar would have been that dumb. Billy's logic stumped them.

The only thing they could agree on was that something was up and they needed to find out what. They didn't like the idea of Rocky and Devon knowing their secret and his cryptic conversation with Zordon.

Tommy suggested they go back and ask Zordon but Billy thought Zordon would have told them if they needed to know. After all, Rocky had made Zordon swear to keep his secret. Billy pointed out that if Zordon told them Rocky's how could they trust Rocky and Devon not to say something? Tommy, who was more hot-headed than logical didn't like the idea of not knowing. "Maybe Adam and Aisha know" Kim suggested ending the conversation.

Adam and Aisha didn't see Rocky until Wednesday. They found him after first period cleaning out his locker. "Hey" he said as they approached.

"Hey! Where have you been?" Adam asked looking at the pile of textbooks on the floor. "Aren't those freshmen books?"

"They're Devon's" He said ignoring the first question thumbing through his math book and then dropping it on the pile.

"What are you doing exactly?"

"We're transferring. This –" he waited for a group of kids to pass "this weekend freaked Devon out. He's had a hard enough time fitting in here. He wants to start over somewhere else".

"Dude, but you guys just got here." Rocky shrugged collecting another book for the stack. "Where are you going?" Aisha asked.

"Angel Grove is the closest" he said.

"But isn't that where… you know" Aisha left the sentence hanging.

"Yeah, but it was already in the works before, this was just sort of the last straw I guess".

"Did you tell your parents what happened?"

"They're dead."

"I thought… you said they were military" Adam seemed to recall him saying.

"They were".

"Do you live with your grandfather?"

"No" he added more books to the pile; AP science and history. "I am Devon's guardian".

"I'm sorry" Adam said "we didn't know".

"It's okay. We've never lived anywhere long enough for people to know". He shut the locker door. "So I guess this is it" he said looking at them.

"Yeah" Adam sounded genuinely disappointed. "So do you think we could still hang out on the weekends and stuff? You could show us some of those moves".

"Sure. Gimme a call" Rocky said collecting the large pile of books.

"Good luck" Aisha said.

"Thanks" he gave both of them a nod and then headed off down the hall as the bell rang beginning second period.

"That's really weird about Rocky" Aisha said as she and Adam walked home from school.

"It sucks!"

"Adam I was referring to the fact that he's Devon's guardian, they have this weird conversation with the leader of the Power Rangers, now poof they're moving to Angel Grove? Not to mention Devon is still creepy."

"It's got to be hard being adopted and then losing your adopted family. I think it's good that Rocky is able to look after him. How many 16 year olds do you know that would do that?"

"Adam" she snapped her fingers in his face, "they are both 16 remember? They can both drive. Zordon didn't call them 'perfect citizens'. I'm telling you, there is something up with this".

"I think you are over reacting. Last weekend was weird enough. I keep seeing those grey things in my sleep" Adam confessed.

"Me too" Aisha finally agreed. "I keep wondering what would have happened if they hadn't saved us". Adam could only nod. Frankly he didn't want to think about Rocky's conversation with Zordon or the rest of the weekend any longer than he had to. They finished their walk home in silence.

As the weeks passed Adam and Aisha saw more of their new friends and less of Rocky. Rocky and Devon on the other hand were doing their best to try and avoid the Rangers.

Before the tournament Rocky had suggested to Devon they transfer to give Devon a fresh start. They both knew the students at Stone Canyon High thought Devon was odd and tried to avoid him. Rocky thought moving would give Devon another chance. Devon shrugged it off, but agreed. What they hadn't anticipated was running into the Power Rangers or that they would attend Angel Grove High. Luckily they managed not to have any classes with them.

The Rangers had tried to follow up with Zordon about Rocky but he had ignored their inquiries. As time passed Rocky sort of drifted from their thoughts. Then the unexpected news came that Jason, Zack and Trini were selected for the peace conference. While they were happy for their friends, Lord Zedd would surely take advantage of the situation. They wouldn't have much time to find new Rangers before the others left. Every spare chance they got they spent wondering who would replace Trini, Jason and Zack.

They were both shocked and pleased when Adam and Aisha were selected, the others couldn't believe it either. They had never dreamed of being super heroes.

Billy was the first to notice they didn't have a Red Ranger. Everyone looked around at each other. Surely Zordon wouldn't leave them one team member short. They needed the Dragon Thunderzord. It was one of the most powerful on its own and made up the base of the Megazord. Without a Red Ranger who would pilot it?

"I do not intend to leave without a Red Ranger" Zordon promised. "Until one is found you will have to make due. Tommy, you will be able to call on the Red Dragon Thunderzord when it is needed". They all nodded, trusting Zordon to find someone but they were still worried. They older Rangers knew Zedd would use this to his advantage and Tommy thought he would have a fair chance with one Ranger missing and two brand new ones, although he didn't share that with the others.

It didn't take long for Adam and Aisha to convince their parents to let them transfer to Angel Grove. They thought it would be easier to be with the other Rangers.

However, what Rocky and Devon weren't counting on was their transfer and they certainly weren't counting on them becoming Power Rangers. Adam and Aisha ended up in classes with both groups of their friends and it risked putting them into one group despite Rocky's efforts to keep Tommy, Kim and Billy at a distance.

Devon had adjusted well as Rocky had hoped and now he hoped their old classmates wouldn't slow his progress down. Devon was making a few friends and several girls had expressed interest in him, even though Rocky had forbidden Devon to date, he still enjoyed the attention. Rocky couldn't fault him for it; he was tall and well built with clear blue eyes and dark hair. He could be charming when he wasn't stressed out. Rocky also knew Devon would be the one to break hearts and end lives if he didn't control himself so as his Master, he'd banned dating and women until he could control his needs and abilities. Devon didn't like it, but he understood why.

While Devon had blossomed in the change, it was Rocky who had become sort of an outcast. He was pale and scrawny next Devon and he kept to himself. His thoughts were almost always pulled in various directions; to Devon and his needs, protecting his family, keeping an eye on the Power Rangers, Adam and Aisha moving in, and then trying to follow the news of Zedd. He suspected that if Zordon knew the truth it would only be time before this Lord Zedd knew and tried to convert them all.

Rocky tossed his math book in his locker and fished his out his lit book stuffing it in his bag. "Hey Rocky!" he heard Adam behind him before he had said anything. Rocky slung his bag onto his shoulder, put his sunglasses into his shirt pocket and turned around closing his locker. As he suspected Adam was with his Ranger friends.

"Hey guys" he said more causally than he felt. There was something about Tommy that set him a little on edge.

"We're going out to the park to practice, you wanna come?"

"Ahh… no thanks. I haven't started that paper for Ms. Applebee yet. Maybe next time though."

"Yeah…" he heard Adam say as he moved off down the hall leaving the group watching him go.

While at the park their attention drifted away from their martial arts practice to their lack of a Red Ranger. Weeks had already passed and Zordon ad yet to say anything. Tommy was still equally bothered by the idea that Rocky and Devon knew about their identity. Tommy stood up, "Let's go ask Zordon. We need a Red Ranger" he said. The others followed, as their leader no one was going to question his decision.

"Zordon," Tommy started "we've been talking and, well, we need a Red Ranger".

"Do you have someone in mind?" Zordon asked. The Rangers looked from one to the other. Surely Zordon would have a better idea than they would.

"Well… no" Tommy finally said.

"What about Rocky" Adam suggested. Aisha slugged him and he glared at her. "He already knows, he's better than us at fighting and he's a good student".

"I am not sure Rocky is the best candidate" Zordon said.

"Why not?" Billy asked before Tommy could. "Does it have to do with what he made you promise to keep secret?"

"Yes Billy".

"Is he evil?" Tommy asked "Does he work for Zedd or Rita?"

"No Tommy. I cannot tell you anything more if I am to expect him to keep your identities safe".

"What if we get him to tell us?" Kimberly spoke up.

"Could we then decide if we want him to be a Ranger?" Adam asked.

"That would be a decision the 5 of you must agree on".

"So, where do we find him?" Tommy asked.

"He is at his home" Zordon said reluctantly.

"Great!" Kim said looking expectantly at Adam and Aisha.

"Uh, we don't know where he lives" Adam confessed.

"Um, Alpha, could you teleport us there?" The little robot made a distressed sound.

"It's alright Alpha, they will be able to teleport back". Zordon reassured him.

"Good luck Rangers" Alpha told them ask he teleported them out of the Command Center.
