Power Rangers: A New Beginning
Chapter 14: Rebirth
Note: I don't know who pays attention to my Profile or if anyone goes to my forums, so let me explain this here. My Grandfather has been dying of cancer over the last couple of months; I am right now sitting at his computer in Ohio typing this. His time has grown short and I have left to come and spend his final days with him, I don't know how long I will be here, nor do I care. I posted an update on my profile saying that I was not going to be updating any of my ongoing fics, but he is asleep now, and I just can't sit around. Anyhow, sorry that I couldn't write up this great Christmas story I had in mind, but right now I can't get in the mood to post it, maybe Ill d a flashback to it later. For now just take this chapter instead-X
Power…Power is energy, as we all know. Energy can not be created nor destroyed. Life is energy, and if we apply the first rule of energy we know that when one life ends, another is born into this world to keep balance. Of all people that should understand this, Zordon is one of them.
Zordon watched as Alpha busied himself with a containment chamber, holding an unconscious Tommy in it. An amber like fluid surrounded Tommy as bubbles formed around Tommy's breathing mask.
"I don't think we should do this…" Alpha said as he checked a small vid-screen he was holding
"We shouldn't be doing what?" Zordon asked
"Playing havoc with this boy's memory, erasing his personality"
"We are not erasing his personality, what we are doing is erasing his memories of the last few days, in order to prepare himself for the transfer of power"
Alpha scoffed
"Do you really believe it to be wise to be giving more power to someone who has already shown to have violent tendencies?"
Zordon's brow furrowed. He had thought of this once before, but after the initial scanning of Tommy's mind he saw that Tommy was not evil, he was just confused, and this personality shift would help him out
"Would you rather that Rita still control the power of the coin? Would you have rather we give it back to her and allow her to find someone else, even worse to take over in the girls place?"
"And what about the girl…"
"That is another conversation for another day Alpha…Now continue, I would like to introduce Tommy as the new Green Ranger soon"
"Of course Zordon" Alpha said as he looked back down to his control board. There wasn't much that Alpha could do, Zordon's word was his law, and he could not go against his creator. Tommy's memory of that night would be erased and nobody would be any of the wiser.
Angel Grove…
"We would like to welcome you all to the newly rebuilt Library, here in the greatest city in America" Angel Grove mayor, Garth Ennis said as polite applause filled the area. "Now I realize that over the last few months we have had our ups and downs, with the sudden appearance of costumed vigilantes in our fair city. I would now like to announce this to them, wherever you are, violence on the scale that you six have been using will not be tolerated in our city. If you show your selves in my city again, I will have you all arrested on sight and tried to the fullest extent of the law"
Applause and cheers filled the library's grounds as the mayor lifted his fists in triumph
Zack looked over to his friends and chuckled
"Like that guy can stop us"
"It seems that we are not very well liked" Billy said, while rubbing his eyes
"Well what would you guys expect, the last two times we showed up in town we created damages that are in the billions" Kimberly said as she clung to Billy's arm
"Well at least they are opening the school again next week" Trini said
"Still hoping to see Tommy?" Kimberly said
Trini blushed and nodded
"Yeah, I checked at his house, they said that they haven't seen him either. I just hope he is alright"
"It might be for the best, Trini" Jason said "I mean the guy seemed like he was bad news from the very beginning"
Trini turned to Jason and raised an eyebrow, Jason through up his hands in defense
"I'm just saying, that's all"
"No, Jason what your problem is that he whipped you the last time" a voice said behind them. The group turned to see Bulk and Skull standing behind them, Bulk took a drag off of his cigarette and threw it to the ground, Skull looked down at the ground popping his gum
"What are you two doing here?" Kimberly said
"What?" Bulk said "We can't be good citizens?"
"Can you guys even read?" Jason asked
Bulk through out his hand, holding out five fingers, smiling
"At a fifth grade level" he said proudly
Billy shook his head
"You know what guys, let's get out of here"
"Yeah, the air around here just reeks" Kimberly said as Billy led her away, followed closely by the others. Bulk watched them walk away
"You know something about those guys just piss me off" he said to Skull. Bulk looked over to his friend when he didn't answer. Bulk slapped his meaty hand against Skull's chest
"Hey what's with you man?"
Skull shook his head
"Nothing Bulkie"
"Bullshit, what? Are you still upset about that foreign chick?"
"Yeah, I mean…We steal, but that, that was murder"
Bulk shook his head
"Keep it down asshole, no what that was, was a fucked up situation. I mean we went back didn't we?"
Skull nodded
"Okay and what did we find?"
"Nothing…"
"Exactly, no body, no crime"
"It's just not right, that girl had a family, and someone is missing her out there"
"Well then let them. As long as we keep our mouths shut, no one is going to be the wiser" Bulk said with a grin plastered on his face, he clapped his arm around Skull's shoulders "Now come on, didn't your brother say that he would buy us beer"
Skull nodded
"That's what you need my friend, you'll see, nothing is going to happen"
The Moon…
Rita yawned as her eyes opened. She had been resting for a month now; her bones ached from lying in one spot for so long. They cracked and popped as she sat up, she was having such a nice dream, one that she couldn't remember, but it had to do with her standing above a battlefield, bodies of different alien races laid below her. She smiled at the image in her mind as she popped her neck; oh well back to business…
"Finister!" Rita roared
The doors to her chambers flung themselves open as the little blue goblin came rushing in
"Yes my lady" Finister said bowing
"Tell me that you didn't slack off during my nap"
Finister shook his head
"No of course not my lady"
"Tell me that the Green Ranger has destroyed those pitiful excuses for rangers and the world is ours"
Finister shook his head
"I can't do that my lady, we seem to have lost all contact with her, and I have lost all life signs"
"WHAT" Rita roared, grabbing her half moon staff, swinging it at Finister, sending the goblin flying across the room, crashing into the wall. Rita stood and walked over to Finister, blue energy cracked from the wand tip
"What do you mean you lost her?"
Finister cowered; he raised his hands to his face
"I'm sorry there is nothing I can do"
Rita raised her wand and slammed the tip of it into the stone floor
"Is it safe to assume that Zordon now controls the coin?"
"One would think so Mistress…"
"Hmmm" Rita said as she began to pace the floor "we could use this, but it will take a while for me to get the correct spells we need. In the meanwhile do you think you can keep those brats busy?"
Finister stood shakily to his feet, shaking his head
"I do have the perfect monster for this, one that you'll really like"
"Good, send it planet side. Let's see that the rangers don't have a free moment" Rita said
"At once Mistress"
Sorry I am going to cut this short, we think its getting near time. I'll pick this up later

Till then
I remain
