Newtech City Lake

The car with the five rangers pulled up in the parking lot. Jack got his keys from the ignition switch, put them in a bag, and got out. Bridge and Z got some of the bags while Sky got some of the others.

Jack looked at the lake. It was filled with all sorts of people, mostly human, and some aliens. "This is perfect!"

The five cadets walked to the lake, finding a spot to put their stuff and get settled. Sydney got some sun tan lotion and put it around her face, arms, and legs, thinking she would burn real easily while laying in the sun. The others proceeded to do the same thing, though Bridge, Sky, and Jack decide to put some sun tan lotion on their backs, since they knew the sun would burn that area, if not protected. Jack, Bridge, and Z headed to the lake, ready to swim and get wet while Sydney and sky decided to get a sun tan.

Sky put on his sun glasses and decided to sit in a chair and read a book he brought along with him. "Enjoy that sun tan Syd."

"I can't believe you brought along a book with you," Sydney said looking at Sky who was sitting in his chair, comfortable. She couldn't believe that Sky would take this opportunity to read a book instead of having fun. I guess Sky was all business, even when he was having fun.

"Nothing wrong with enjoying a good book, Syd. This is how I relax on my off days,"

Sydney shook her head and laid it down on the towel, facing sideways where the front of her body faced the sun.

In the water, Z, Jack, and Bridge were also enjoying themselves, splashing water on each other.

"I never thought the commander would give us some free time off today. I was thinking we were going to have to do that training simulation," Jack said wiping some water from his eyes.

"I know, but it's a nice change of pace. I like it when superiors throw curve balls out us. Makes us uncertain about things, you know," replied Z looking at Jack. "Hey, where's Bridge?"

Both Jack and Z looked around them and found no sight of Bridge until he popped out of the water. "Hey guys look at this." Bridge brought up an old piece of news paper that was in a container, slightly degraded, but still in good condition.

Jack looked at the piece of paper. "What does it say Bridge?"

"It's from Newtech City Global, the newspaper, and the date on this is 1995," answered Bridge.

Z was surprised. "A piece of newspaper that was from thirty years ago. Anything important in the paper?"

Bridge studied the paper and found the top headline article interesting. "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers defeat another one of Lord Zedd's and Rita Repulsa's monsters."

Jack looked surprised. "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa. Glad we're not fighting them."

"I remember reading about the rangers missions in grade school, not to mention Cruger wanted us to read about them and the villains they fought. I bet life back then was more interesting," said Z with nostalgia.

"Aren't Rita and Zedd dead?" Bridge asked both of his friends.

"Well from what I understand, after the red space ranger Andros shattered the energy tube of Zordon, his energy of good spread throughout most of the galaxy, turning monsters to dust and turning some villains into humans. I think Zedd and Rita turned into humans," Jack informed Bridge and Z.

"I always found it funny that even with his energy turning villains into nothing or turning some back into humans that there were others that came along afterwards. It's like the energy wave decided to let some evil off the hook while other forms of evil were destroyed," remarked Z.

"I wonder where they are now," Bridge said looking at the water thinking in deep thought.

"They're probably knocking on deaths door since they're old. Why don't we stop talking about business and get back to having some fun!" Jack smiled at Z. He then splashed some water in her face.

"You are so dead Landors," Z laughed.

And with that, the rangers continued to relax and enjoy their time off thinking that nothing was going to happen to them or ruin the afternoon.

On a planet, far, far away from Earth

The gold ranger was still lying on the ground, trying to gather his strength and get up. As he moved his body, his legs felt dead, like he couldn't move them because they had gone to sleep. He positioned himself to his front side where it was facing the sun. He slowly sat up and looked at the two suns beaming their light at him. Trey put his right hand above his eyes, trying to shove out the light that was hitting his eyes. He looked around and saw something, except an empty field of grass. Off in the distance was the forest he had tried to get to before he morphed into the gold ranger. Trey then looked at his chest where the sword of Scorpina struck him. His black clothing had was ripped around his chest and dry blood had covered part of the shirt he was wearing.

Trey began to get up on his feet while putting his left hand over his chest, trying to ease the soreness he was feeling as he got up. He looked around some more thinking to himself, trying to connect pieces of the puzzle together. Trey remembered hearing about Scorpina but never encountering her. He heard stories about how tough she was as a warrior and how hard she fought, killing innocent people and enslaving others. But why now for the attack here on this planet? And why did she take this long to return? Why not try to destroy or take over people and or planets five years ago or even ten or twenty years ago? Trey was at a lost for words.

And who was that voice that he heard while facing death. It sounded as if it were Zordon but Trey always assumed Zordon was dead and wouldn't be able to communicate with anybody else. Whoever it was, Trey was thankful for restoring himself. Trey began to walk, still holding on to his chest since it was still sore. His next plan was to get to Earth, where the voice told him to go to, and Trey knew how to get there, from his zord Pyramidas, which was cloaked on the other side of the planet. But what Trey wanted to know is what evil was the voice talking about. Was it Scorpina? Could she be that much of a problem that made him return to Earth? Trey heard about Earth making a program of rangers operating under the name Space Patrol Delta. He had heard that they were able to handle the problems that Gruumm was giving them, even though Trey thought Gruumm was nothing more than an idiot who expected to win all the time. Trey didn't think Gruumm could stand up against old foes he had fought before, like Zedd and Rita, or even the Machine Empire. And he was certainly no match for Dark Specter either.

Trey looked at his morpher that was on both his right and left wrists to see if they were damaged. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the morpher was still intact. Trey decided to teleport himself to the zord, trying not to suffer any more pain while walking. He knew he could patch himself up with the medicine he had on board his zord, because after all, one didn't know what to find out in space or on different planets.

Trey teleported to the ship and searched for some medicine to aid in his recovery. After that, he got to the pilot seat and plotted a course for Earth, and decided to uncloak his vessel as it flew out of the planets orbit and into space.
