DISCLAIMER
Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. Concept inspired by "The Coins" written KSuzie who gave me permission to run with it. I only own characters you don't recognize.
The White, Black, Pink, and Red Rangers snuck through the Lunar Palace.
"Where do you think the dungeon is?" the Pink Ranger wondered.
"I don't know. This is different than Rita's Palace," the White Ranger answered.
"Don't worry about it, Bro. We'll find them," the Red Ranger assured. They continued on their way. Meanwhile, Zedd had thrown Jaytron across the Chamber Of Command.
"YOU FOOL! I TRIED TO WARN YOU! WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TO ME!" he roared.
"I thought I was getting my team back. I wasn't expecting them to betray me too," came the retort. Zedd fumed, but then remembered to keep his temper in check. If he turned on Jaytron, the boy could possibly go rogue, which he couldn't allow to happen.
"That just goes to show how far Tommy has them under his wing. If you destroy him-"
"No." Zedd's eyes narrowed as the boy stood up. Was he turning on him?
"What do you mean 'No'?"
"If they love Tommy so much, they can share his fate." Zedd let out a booming laugh. Well, this turned out better than I thought, he silently said. Of course he had been planning to destroy the other Rangers all along, but now that Jaytron shared his desire, it would be easier than ever. Look out, Rangers! Your end is near! he thought to himself. While the two began discussing the next phase in their plan, Goldar was doing a patrol around the palace as per Zedd's request. I wouldn't put it past those wretched Rangers to try and rescue their friends, he thought to himself. Personally, he kind of hoped that they did try something. It had been too long since he had been given a good fight. His features curved into a terrible grin as he thought about how great it would be to finally destroy the Rangers. Then, he noticed a blinking light from an alarm that was in section that headed for the dungeon. Rangers, he thought to himself. He strode out to intercept them.
"I don't like this. This is too easy," the White Ranger muttered.
"Yeah, I mean, we haven't even encountered Putties," the Red Ranger agreed. Suddenly, there was a growl.
"What the-"
"GOLDAR!" At the Black Ranger's warning, they all dropped into defensive stances as the winged monkey charged them. His sword shone as he lashed out at them and they cried out in pain as they fell to the ground. Goldar laughed.
"You fools…are finished!" The Rangers brought out their weapons and soon the palace thundered with the sound of striking weapons.
"GOLDAR, REPORT!" Zedd roared. When there was no answer, he growled and stomped towards the sound. "GOLDAR! I SAID-" his rant trailed away when he saw the sight. He summoned his energy to his staff and fired at the Rangers.
"Whoa. Watch it!" the Pink Ranger warned, and they all ducked. The White and Red Rangers shared a look. The White Ranger subtly pointed past them and the Red Ranger nodded. Then, as the White Ranger moved to the side, Zedd turned to blast him and the Black and Pink Rangers charged at Goldar, allowing the Red Ranger to slip away. He had almost reached the dungeon when-he was yanked from behind.
"You lose." The Red Ranger fell on his back and Jaytron placed a foot on his wrist. What am I, in the Dark Dimension? I don't think so! the Red Ranger thought to himself and then wrapped a leg around one of Jaytron's ankles, knocking him down. The Red Ranger lashed out with a kick. Then, he jumped to his feet, as did Jaytron. Jaytron summoned energy from his hand and fired on the Red Ranger who quickly jumped out of the way and then pulled out his Power Sword. Jaytron threw another energy bolt at him, and he deflected it with his sword. Jaytron was knocked to the ground and the Red Ranger took the opportunity to flip through the air, kick Jaytron back, and then continued on his way. With a growl, Jaytron stood up and started running after him, throwing blast after blast. THAT STUPID CLONE THINKS HE'S GOING TO BEST ME! Jaytron thought to himself. In the palace's dungeon, Billy and Trini had jumped up when they had heard the sounds of fighting.
"What is going on out there?" Trini wondered.
"The noise is similar to that of when Zack's relatives all converge in the summer for their annual festivities," Billy stated. Trini couldn't help but chuckle. It did sound like one of Zack's family reunions.
"Billy, Trini, you guys in here?" they suddenly heard.
"Jason!" they chorused, scrambling to their feet. Moments later, the Red Ranger appeared.
"You guys okay?"
"Yeah, I say we make a hasty exit." Trini nodded at Billy's statement. The Red Ranger ushered them out.
"We gotta hurry. I think some of Zedd's powers include regeneration or healing," the Red Ranger stated.
"Why do you say that?" Trini wondered.
"I broke Jaytron's arm and he's using it as if nothing even happened," the Red Ranger replied. Trini looked over the Red Ranger's shoulder.
"Watch out!" she and Billy pulled him to the ground just as a beam of energy came at them.
"Can you morph?"
"We'll try."
"Triceratops!"
"Saber-toothed Tiger!" To their relief, the familiar rush energy enveloped them and they were soon in their respective costumes. When they got back, they saw the White Ranger fighting Zedd and the Black and Pink Rangers fighting Goldar. The Red, Pink, and Yellow Rangers joined the White Ranger in fighting as Jaytron came in, throwing blasts at the Red Ranger.
"Guys, I think we better get out of here!" the Yellow Ranger cried.
"Good idea," the White Ranger agreed, and then they all teleported out. Zedd roared in anger and turned to his minions.
"YOU FOOLS! YOU LET THEM ESCAPE!" He let out a blast from his staff, and his underlings flinched as the energy just barely missed them. "EELSTER! GET BACK DOWN THERE!" The monster did so and Zedd automatically made it grow.
"We need the Power of Thunder!" the White Ranger called. "Tigerzord!"
"Mastodon-Lion Thunderzord Power!"
"Pterodactyl-Firebird Thunderzord Power!"
"Triceratops-Unicorn Thunderzord Power!"
"Saber-toothed Tiger-Griffin Thunderzord Power!"
"Tyrannosaurus-Red Dragon Thunderzord Power!" The zords came at the summons and Rangers jumped into their respective zords. The White Ranger converted the Tigerzord to Warrior Mode, while the other Rangers created the Thunder Megazord. The Eelster let out shockwaves that rocked both zords.
"Bring 'em together!" the White Ranger instructed and zords reassembled to create the MegaTigerzord. Eelster punched, kicked, and shot more electricity at the zord, but was soon destroyed. Once more, Zedd roared in anger and started berating his minions. A few minutes later, the Rangers were back at the Command Center.
"Excellent work, Rangers. Once again, you have triumphed over Zedd's forces," Zordon congratulated.
"Thanks, Zordon," the Rangers smiled.
"But what are we going to do without a Red Ranger?" Billy wondered.
"Yeah, Jason can't stay indefinitely. He has his own reality to get back to," Kimberly agreed.
"I realize that, Rangers. Once it became clear that Jaytron was Zedd's new heir, I had Alpha start a search for a new Ranger and have selected a candidate," Zordon told them. Tommy, Kimberly, Trini, Billy, Zack, and Jason looked at each other nervously.
"Zordon, who?" Kimberly asked, somewhat nervously. For an answer, Alpha pressed the "teleportation" button and seconds later, Rocky was also in the Command Center.
"Whoa! Wha-what is this place?" Rocky questioned.
"Rocky!" the others exclaimed. The boy stammered for a bit and then it hit him.
"You guys are the Power Rangers?" he questioned.
"Yeah," Tommy nodded.
"So, why am I here?" Rocky wondered.
"You remember that guy that attacked you?" Tommy asked. Rocky nodded. Of course he remembered. He had nearly killed him. If it hadn't been for the Red Ranger, he would've been history. Though, he was still confused as to why the Red Ranger had called his attacker "a second rate Ranger". Surely that couldn't have been a Power Ranger. They were the good guys.
"What's your point?" Rocky queried.
"That was Jason Scott, the Red Ranger," Kimberly answered.
"But he's-" Rocky's voice trailed off as he pointed to Jason.
"I'm from a different reality," Jason told him.
"Okay. There are monsters and aliens trying to take over the world, why not different universes?" Rocky asked.
"The point is, Jason can't stay here and we need a Red Ranger," Tommy stated.
"And you want me?" Rocky gasped. "Why? I mean, I-" his voice trailed off.
"Rocky, Alpha and I have done a background check on you and have discovered you to be fair, honest, loyal, and true. We would be proud to have you as our new Red Ranger," Zordon stated.
"All right, I'm in," Rocky agreed. Jason handed him the Tyrannosaurus Power Coin. "So, how do we get Jason home?" he wondered.
"Billy-my reality's Billy said that they combined the Power Coins and created a power surge," Jason recalled.
"Let's do it," Kimberly declared. They pulled out their Power Coins and held them together.
"We call on the power of all those combined!" Tommy stated. "Tigerzord!" he continued.
"Mastodon!" Zack cried.
"Pterodactyl!" Kimberly summoned.
"Triceratops!" Billy yelled.
"Saber-toothed Tiger!" Trini shouted.
"Tyrannosaurus!" Rocky finished. The coins shone and then the energy flew into the computer. Then, the portal opened. Jason grinned when he saw the Command Center.
"I'm goin' home," he said.
"Jason!" his friends called.
"Go on, Bro. Your friends are waiting," Tommy told him.
"Well, if you guys ever need help-"
"We know." With that, Jason stepped through the vortex and entered his own Command Center.
