I stood stock still…stunned into silence and disbelief. Before me was Zordon of Eltar. Guru of past Power Rangers and someone who I had been informed was very much not alive after his energy tube had been shattered.

Now he stood…well floated…in front of me.

"You are correct Ethan. I have returned." Zordon replied looking at Ethan.

"But how Zordon? You were destroyed when Andros shattered your energy tube." Alpha replied.

"My tube was destroyed but not my spirit. It continued to live on in everything good. It was by these six new Rangers forming a new team of good that I was able to be resurrected." Zordon said.

"So you're back for good?" Jakob asked.

"Yes Jakob I am." Zordon replied.

"Do you know everything that's going on? Everything about Zard…about our parents?" I asked.

"Yes Izzy I do." Zordon's said.

"So you know where they are!" Ryan replied.

"Correct. Tommy, Kimberly, Rocky, Justin and Billy are safe. They are in the dungeon of Zard's fortress guarded by a series of minions called Trogs. You will have to teleport into the dugeon and get passed them to get your parents. Once reunited we will be able to teleport both you and your parents and Billy and Justin out." Zordon replied.

"Then lets go. Lets go now." Ethan replied.

"First you must rest Rangers. You cannot hope to defeat the Trogs if you aren't at your maximum efficiency. The six of you will teleport to Izzy's house and rest there until Alpha calls for you. Alpha will put a force field up and that should protect you from Putties for the night." Zordon said.

We nodded, "Right."

We teleported back to my house, landing safely inside.

"So where do we sleep Iz?" Ryan asked.

"I'm taking my Dad's room. Tasha you can sleep in there with me if you want. Ethan, Nathan you two can take my room. You're the only two I trust in there." I replied looking at Jakob and Ryan who had become thick as thieves. If Ryan decided to do something he was sure to be able to talk Jakob into it. The last thing I wanted was someone going through my panty drawer.

"That hurts Izzy. It really does." Ryan frowned.

"Whatever. You two can take the guest room. It's the first door on the left." I said and shoved them towards the stairs.

Tasha and I changed into pajamas before crawling under the sheets of my Dad's bed. It smelled like him and I was glad I'd chosen to sleep here instead of in my room. It made me feel closer to him.

Tasha fell asleep almost instantly but I couldn't. I tossed and turned until finally deciding to go downstairs and see if there was anything still good in the fridge.

When I reached the kitchen Ethan was making hot cocoa.

"Couldn't sleep either?" I asked.

"No. Nathan really does like Karate. He even does it in his sleep." Ethan grimaced.

I laughed and sat down at the kitchen table, "I just couldn't turn my brain off."

"Well then you're in luck. I happen to make the best cocoa." he said and sat a mug in front of me.

I raised it to my lips and the warm chocolately goodness made me smiled. It tasted amazing.

"This is good." I replied.

"Thank you. It's my own recipe." he replied.

We sat quietly for a few moments drinking our cocoa before Ethan broke the silence.

"So why wouldn't your mind shut off?" he asked.

"Just worrying. I mean none of us have ever done anything like this." I replied.

"Don't worry. We were meant for this. It's in our DNA. The Power Coins prove it." Ethan smiled.

"I guess." I smiled.

"C'mon it's late and Family Guy should be on Adult Swim. Let's rot our brains for awhile before we head back to bed." he smiled.

"Sounds like a plan." I replied and picked up my mug and walked to the living room. We sat on the couch and turned the TV on. Sure enough Family Guy was on and we settled down to watch it. It was the episode where Stewie lent Brian money and then beat the hell out of him to get it back.

I watched half the episode before my eyes slipped closed and I fell asleep. I vaguely registered Ethan draping a blanket around me and that was the last thing I remembered before being woken the next morning by someone coming downstairs.

Opening my eyes I saw Ethan snoring at the other end of the couch and Jakob walking down the steps.

"Morning." I yawned sitting up on the couch.

"You and Ethan crash out here?" he asked.

"Yeah. We couldn't sleep and decided to watch TV." I replied.

"Nice. Hey do you guys have any coffee?" he asked.

"Yeah. I could use a cup myself." I replied and got up from the couch and shuffled into the kitchen.

"I'll make breakfast." Jakob offered.

"Thanks. There's pancake mix in the cabinet next to the stove and some microwave bacon in the fridge. Dad bought it right before all this happened so it should be good still." I replied.

"Perfect." he said and began to rummage around.

I had just put the coffee on when everyone began to flood into the kitchen from downstairs.

Tasha pitched in and helped Jakob make breakfast and soon we were all sitting at the table with plates of food.

"So how did you guys sleep?" I asked as I bit into a piece of bacon.

"You're bed is really comfortable." Nathan replied.

"So is your guest bed." Ryan nodded.

Tasha opened her mouth to reply when suddenly our communicators went off with a series of small beeps. We all stopped and Ethan brought his up to his mouth, "We read you Alpha."

"Rangers we have everything in place." Alpha replied.

"We'll be right there." Ethan said.

We hurried upstairs and threw on the first outfits we found and teleported to the Command Center where we received our instructions.

"You will have to teleport directly into the dungeon however your presence will most certainly set off alarms throughout the fortress. Expect that you will meet with several forces both Putty and Trog alike." Zordon warned.

"Once you reach your parents I will teleport all of you back to the Command Center." Alpha said.

"Right." Ethan replied and reached behind him.

He and took his morpher in hand, "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"

He executed the movements that Adam had shown us before yelling out his Dino.

"Tyrannosaurs!"

Jakob and I quickly followed his lead yelling, "Pterodactyl!" and "Mastodon!" at the same time.

After us echoed the sounds of "Saber-Toothed Tiger!", "Triceratops!" and "White Tiger!".

The power around us surged and a moment later we all stood in our uniforms.

"Here take this. It's a modified version of the tracker that you used to find the other holders of the Power Coins. The signal is locked on your parents. It will lead you straight to them." Alpha said strapping the device that did look much like the tracker we'd used only smaller, onto Ethan's arm.

"Good luck Rangers and may the power protect you." Zordon said.

"Thanks Zordon." We replied and as a group teleported.

When we touched down in Zard's dungeon an eerie feeling settled over me.

"Talk about something out of a horror movie." Tasha whispered.

"Agreed." Ryan nodded.

"C'mon the tracker says to go this way." Ethan said.

We all followed, our bodies braced and ready for a fight and we soon found it.

"Putties!" Jakob yelled and a moment later we were swarmed.

I kicked and punched and every inch of them possible. It was incredible that I seemed to hit harder than I did when I wasn't morphed. I loved that the suits seemed to strengthen our abilities and soon we had stopped all the putties and were moving on.

We came to a large door and stopped.

"This has to be the entrance to the dungeons. The tracker says they're right behind this door." Ethan said.

"Let's get this open." Ryan said and together he and Ethan managed to pry the heavy door open.

A long hallway was behind it, the walls lined cells. However waiting for us were three huge things. They looked like deformed putties on steroids but instead of gray they were earthy shades of red and brown. And then there was the smell.

The moment they saw us they jumped at us. Ryan and I got one that seemed the smallest but the ugliest of the bunch.

I brought a kick up to the side of his head and he hardly felt it. Ryan attacked it with a punch to it's gut but that hardly seemed to phase it.

"Double team?" I asked looking at him.

"Sounds good. Double chest kick on three." he said.

I nodded and got in position.

"One…two…THREE!" Ryan yelled and we attacked it.

The force of our kick sent it stumbling back into the bars of one of the cells. There was a crack and it split down the center, a sickening puke green slime pouring out of both halves.

"Ew! Who died?!" I replied gagging.

"That thing. C'mon…let's go find our parents while the others are dealing with theirs." Ryan said and we stepped over the Trog's remains and hurried down the hall. Halfway down we found our parents, Billy and Justin.

"IZZY!" Dad yelled and hurried to the bars.

"Daddy!" I replied smiling even though he couldn't see it behind my helmet.

"Where are the others? Where's Ethan?" Kimberly asked running to stand next to Tommy.

"They're taking care of the Trogs." Ryan replied.

"The what?" Rocky asked.

"Trogs. Those big ugly things that smell like raw sewage." Ryan replied.

"We've got to hurry and get them free." I replied looking at Ryan.

"Right. Stand back." he said and pulled his phaser from his holster.

I stepped back and watched as he pointed it at the lock. He shot it twice and the door swung open just as the others ran up to join us.

"Mom!" Ethan yelled running over to Kimberly.

"Oh sweetheart!" she said, tears running down her face.

"It's okay Mom." Ethan said.

"Okay I hate to break up a touching family moment like this but we should really get out of here." Jakob said.

"Right. Everyone grab onto someone else." Ethan instructed.

Dad grabbed my hand while beside me Rocky grabbed onto Ryan's and Kimberly grabbed onto Ethan's. Billy grabbed hold of Tasha's hand and Justin took Jakob's.

"Take us home Alpha." Ethan said into his communicator.

"Teleporting now!" Alpha replied and soon we were flying again.

Soon we touched down at the Command Center. The moment we did so I pulled my helmet off and threw my arms around my Dad's neck.

"I'm so proud of you Izzy. You did it. You and Ethan did it. You found the new Rangers and you saved all of us." he whispered as he hugged me back as tight as I hugged him.

"Thanks Daddy." I replied tears running down my face.

"Congratulations Rangers on a mission well done."

I pulled away from Dad and looked up at Zordon, wiping tears from my eyes.

"Thanks Zordon." I replied with a smile.

"Zordon! You're alive?!" Dad asked.

"Yes Tommy. The strength of your children was enough to resurrect me." He replied.

"That's incredible!" Billy replied.

"It truly is." Zordon agreed.

"Zordon…it's not that I'm not grateful to have my mother back but that seemed way to easy." Ethan said stepping forward.

"You and I are in agreement Ethan. Perhaps Zard believes that he is luring you into a false sense of security so that he may strike again soon. You will to remain vigilant even now. The battle has only just begun." Zordon replied.

We all nodded.

"Now. It's been a long day. Go home and rest Rangers." Zordon said.

We said goodbye to Zordon before Alpha teleported us all to my house.

"It feels so good to be home." Dad sighed as he looked at our house.

"Agreed even if I'm not at my house." Billy replied.

"So what are we supposed to do? I mean it's not like we can just go home. We have a job to do." Tasha said.

"Well we'll get all that figured out. Don't worry." Dad assured her.

It was decided that we'd all head our separate ways with Tasha, Jakob, Ryan and Nathan crashing at Dad and I's for the time being since their stuff was already there. I didn't care who went where at this point. I had my Dad back and that's all I needed.
