DISCLAIMER

Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the subplots. I'm not going to be using any dividing columns to differentiate between timelines, so I apologize in advance for any confusion.

In the present day's Command Center, Billy and Alpha were still working at the consoles.

"Billy, Alpha, any luck finding Kim?" Tommy asked.

"We've been having trouble moving the signal through the time barrier," Billy responded. Then, "Wait a minute. Let me try something." He programmed in some more codes. "There. Something should come up in the viewing globe now." They all turned to watch as the globe crackled to life.

"Come on, Kim," Aisha and Trini chorused worriedly. When the picture finally came, they saw her looking as if she was asleep.

"There she is!" Tommy cried in relief. But what's wrong with her? Why is she lying so still? He wondered. The picture crackled and then faded.

"What happened?" Rocky wondered.

"I'm not sure. I may have to check the Power Transformer. We may need to increase the voltage surge to carry an on-going signal," Billy replied. Back in Old Angel Grove, Kimberly felt somebody patting her cheek.

"Excuse me, Ma'am. Are you all right? Can I get you somethin'?" a voice asked in concern. Her eyes fluttered open and she saw Adam's ancestor looking at her worriedly. He was wearing a silver shirt covered by a silver vest with black pants. A black hat completed the outfit.

"Who are you?" she queried as she slowly sat up.

"My name's Abraham," he answered. "This here's William, Miss Alicia-"

"Howdy."

"And Rocko." Rocko tipped his hat in greeting. Rocko was wearing a gold shirt held up by black suspenders pants and had a black hat and a black bandana around his neck. Miss Alicia was wearing a purple dress that had ruffles at the neck and a matching hat. William wore a dark blue shirt with faded blue overalls and a brown hat.

"Where am I?" Kimberly asked.

"Angel Grove's finest-Ernest's Juice Saloon," a voice announced. She turned around to see the familiar figure of the man who had watched her grow up. He was wearing shirt and black pants. To her surprise, he wore a black bowtie and had a mustache. Whoa. Weird. I can't even imagine Ernie having a mustache, she thought to herself.

"Yeah, we serve the best fruit juices in the West," an African-American boy added as he came up. He wore a black shirt with black slacks.

"Zachariah here is one of my best servers," Ernest bragged.

"And who's the other one?" Kimberly wondered.

"That would be me," a Vietnamese girl answered, walking up. "Hi, I'm Trinity," she introduced herself. She was wearing a dress exactly like Miss Alicia's except that it was yellow.

"And who might you be?" William questioned.

"Calamity Kimberly," Kimberly answered.

"Well, it's very nice to meet you, Miss Kimmie," William told her. Ernest, Zachariah, and Trinity went back to work.

"Rocko and I hauled you in after the Green and White Stranger saved us," Abraham explained.

"Thank you. I suppose I was in the heat a bit too long," Kimberly told them. "Does anyone know where the Green and White Stranger is?"

"Nope," Abraham replied. "He just kind of appears whenever we need help." Throughout the exchange, Miss Alicia couldn't help but stare at Kimberly's clothes.

"Where did you get them there clothes?" she finally asked.

"That's kind of hard to explain," the other girl answered. This is 1880. She won't know what a mall is, she thought to herself. Then, "Um, I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I could really use some air." At once, the group stood up and scooted their chairs back, allowing Kimberly to stand up and walk out of the saloon.

"Ya'll think it was somethin' I said?" Miss Alicia wondered.

"Doubtful," Abraham replied. Kimberly walked out and looked around. People in old-fashioned-to her at least-Western clothing walked through the streets and laughed. Whoa. It's kind of surreal, she thought to herself. It was kind of exciting. But why had she been brought here? Noticing that the townspeople were starting to stare at her, she headed back into the saloon. What none of the Rangers knew, was that Zedd and Rita were plotting their next move.

"We must begin before the time hole is closed," Zedd said.

"I agree, Sire. This is your most brilliant plan," Goldar gushed, resisting the urge to say how he really felt. Beside him, Scorpina tried not to gag. She was so sick of having to suck up to Zedd, but unfortunately, Finster was still checking up on something that Rita had wanted done.

"Yes," Rita agreed and broke out into laughter. Zedd sat back on his throne. I wish I could amuse myself like that, he thought. Then, with a zap from his staff, he sent Needle Nose down to Earth. Now why didn't he just do that in the first place? Scorpina wondered. All of a sudden, something occurred to Goldar.

"But Master, don't forget about the Pink Ranger. She can use her knowledge to prepare the people of the past."

"You will go back in time and destroy her. Without her, there will be no hope for them." Goldar gave a quick half-bow. In the Command Center, Billy and Alpha were once again working at the consoles.

"You making any progress Billy?" Jason queried.

"With the slime, yes. We should know about Kimberly in a few moments," Billy answered.

"What was the slime anyway?" Aisha queried.

"Apparently when Zedd stole Kimberly's cactus, it created the slime, but there's no reason for it and it's not dangerous," Billy answered.

"So basically, it just made a mess," Rocky said.

"Affirmative," Billy responded.

"What about Kimberly?" Trini pressed. The computer beeped.

"We found her," Billy answered. "She's in Angel Grove…but it's 1880." They all sighed in relief.

"Billy and Alpha, good work," Tommy told them.

"Thank you," they chorused.

"All right, let's go get her," Tommy determined. Then, the alarm blared.

"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!" the robot cried.

"Alpha, what is it?" Jason asked.

"Goldar and some of Zedd's Putties are heading for the time hole!" came the answer. They turned to the viewing globe to see the creatures heading down the street in the direction of Ernie's Gym and Juice Bar.

"A cactus monster!" Rocky exclaimed.

"Now we know what Zedd wanted with Kimberly's cactus," Billy stated.

"If the monster destroys Angel Grove in the past, it will alter Angel Grove's future as well as make you all disappear," Zordon warned.

"Then let's get to it," Tommy declared.

"Wait. What about Kim?" Aisha wondered.

"We can't just leave her there," Adam added.

"Kim's strong. She can hold her own until we can get to her," Jason stated.

"It's morphin' time!" Tommy shouted. "Dragonzord!"

"Drago!"

"Stega!"

"Brachio!"

"Mastodon!"

"Triceratops!"

"Saber-toothed Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!" Once they were morphed, they materialized in front of Goldar and the Putties who were in front of the youth center.

"GET THEM!" The Rangers and minions began fighting. Goldar grunted as the Green Ranger kicked him back. Then, he charged at him with his sword. The Green Ranger quickly pulled out his Dragon Dagger and blocked the attack, creating a shower of sparks. The Black and Silver Rangers flipped backwards until they were in the front of the entrance and fought off the creatures. With a roar, Needle Nose threw tiny green spores at them. The Rangers groaned.

"So weak," the Green Ranger said. They all dropped to their knees as Goldar laughed. If we can't keep them from going to the past, the present is doomed, the Green Ranger thought as he fell to the ground.
