Chapter 9- Old Friends
Billy rematerialized in the Command Center. Alpha was shocked to see someone he didn't recognize teleport in and backed away.
"Ay yi yi! Who are you?" Alpha asked confused.
"Alpha, it's me." Billy said.
"Billy! But you're so old!" Alpha said.
"Long story. I need to talk to Zordon." Billy said.
"Yes Billy?" Zordon said.
"I need a time portal, back to the future." Billy said.
"Why? And why are you here?" Zordon asked.
"That guy that almost killed Tommy, he's from the future. And in another timeline, he succeeded." Billy replied.
"And you came back to stop him. That was noble of you, and I can get you a time portal, but it may take some time." Zordon stated.
Meanwhile, the Dino Rangers demorphed and were sitting in the desert, waiting for Billy to return. The Mighty Morphin rangers walked toward them and demorphed as well.
"Hey, I'm Tommy." Tommy said outstretching his hand to the group.
"We know." Conner said.
"I assumed that, and these are the other rangers." Tommy said and the other five walked up.
"Listen, we're not supposed to be here, and we don't want to meddle with time." Ethan said.
"Yeah, but I wanted to properly thank you for saving us. God knows what would have happened if you didn't." Tommy said.
"You're welcome, you've saved the world enough times, we figured that you should get saved every once in a while." Kira said.
"Who are you guys anyway?" Tommy asked.
"We're old friends. But you'll meet us again in the future." Trent said.
Suddenly the Dino-Rangers were teleported to the Command Center. They rematerialized and saw Billy standing in front of a portal.
"Here's where we go our separate ways." Billy said handing them the Brachio-Morpher.
"What about you?" Kira asked.
"I'll go back to Aquitar or something. Once you enter the portal, you'll forget this timeline, so it doesn't really matter." Billy replied.
"Well listen, you're not Dr. O, but if he wasn't around, we're happy that you are." Ethan said.
"Anyway, go through now, Zordon can't keep it open much longer." Billy said.
"Good luck Rangers, may the power protect you, always." Zordon said and the group entered the portal.
"And Zordon, thanks for everything. I never got to say a proper goodbye." Billy said.
"You're welcome, Billy. And I have re-calibrated the portal for Aquitar." Zordon said.
Billy stepped through the portal and the timeline reverted to it's original shape. The Rangers emerged outside of Dr. Oliver's house, where he was working in the lab, and they had no memory of the time travel and Billy emerged on Aquitar, and resumed his life however, he remembered the good he did in helping the rangers.
