"So you're the one!" Adam said. "You're the one that brought Goldar back."
"Yes. And soon, the Power Rangers will be no more. You'll be the first."
Back at the Command Center...
"Adam is in trouble..."
Everyone turned, and saw that Crystal was awake. She got up from the bed, and started to head out. It was then that the alarm went off.
"Never thought I would hear that again," said Justin.
On the viewing screen, it showed Adam, and the Magus Sisters. It also showed one person no one has seen before.
"That must be the one behind it all," said Tori.
"Adam needs help," said Crystal. "We don't know just how powerful is this enemy. We can't let her destroy Adam."
Crystal took another step forward, but fell to her knees. Hunter helped her up, but Crystal just continued to walk.
"Crystal wait. You can't go," Hunter told her. "You're still too weak after restoring the Command Center. You need to rest."
"I can't rest," she said. "I just can't. Adam needs help, and this enemy also knows me. It's about time that we meet face to face."
"But you can barely stand," said Tori. "Let alone walk. You need to save your energy."
"I'll be fine," she told them with a smile. "I swear I will. But I can't just sit back and watch as every one of you go out to help Adam. I'm going too. Not only as a Power Ranger, but also as a friend."
No one said anything. Not even Hunter. He knew her too well. Once she was set on going out to help a friend, regardless of her condition, there was no stopping her. Even if she was near the brink of death, she would use every ounce of strength she had left just to help out a comrade. A friend. Anyone.
"We'll come with you," said Jason. "We may not have our Ranger powers, but we won't just sit back and watch one of our friends get destroyed. With or without our Ranger powers, we still stick together. No matter what."
"You're not going out there alone," said Trini. "Adam is our friend too. And we're always there for each other."
"Power Rangers stick together," said Andros.
"Alright," she said, smiling at all of them. "Let's go help Adam."
Everyone nodded, and Billy had brought Alpha back to the Command Center.
"Ai yi yi! The Command Center is rebuilt!"
"We'll be right back, Alpha," said Zack.
"Zack! Kimberly! Trini! Jason! Everyone! Bless my circuits. It's so good to see everyone again," Alpha said.
"We'll explain everything once we return," said T.J. "Right now, Adam needs help."
"Be careful, Rangers."
Crystal, Tori, Kira, Justin and the Space Rangers had morphed. Alpha stayed inside the Command Center, and watched from the viewing screen. He couldn't believe the number of Rangers in one area. This was definitely a moment to be recognized in history. Alpha also knew that Zordon would be so happy to see this event happening. So many Rangers gathered together in one place, joined together to defeat a strong evil force.
Adam tried to fight off this enemy, but she was just too powerful. The Magus Sisters just stood back, not wanting to get in the way. They wanted to be around when all the Rangers were destroyed all at once. Adam was brought to the point of exhaustion. He had trouble just standing up. He wasn't sure how long he was going to last.
"Say goodbye to your Ranger powers!"
She extended her hand, and an energy wave came at Adam. He was too weak to get out of the way, and he felt his Ranger powers leave. Once she had moved her arm, he had completely demorphed. He had lost his Ranger powers again.
"One Ranger power gone," she said. "Now say goodbye, Black Ranger."
"I don't think so!"
From behind Adam had appeared Ninja Beams from Tori and Crystal.
"So...you finally show yourself," Crystal said, having her ninja sword out in front of her.
"Adam. You okay?" Jason asked, helping him up.
"She took my Ranger powers," he said weakly.
"What?" said Zack. "She took your powers?"
"We finally meet," said Crystal. "Who are you exactly? Cause I know for sure that I've never seen your face."
"And that is where you are right, Crystal Lueva. Or should I say Crystal Shidou."
"How do you know my real last name!"
"I've been watching you for a long, long time, Crystal."
"And how long ago?"
"When you first arrived to Blue Bay Harbor."
"Which was the same time Lothor arrived."
"Exactly. I wasn't expecting someone from another world to arrive."
"But how do you know my real last name? I've never told anyone."
"When the darkness was inside you. Of course, you can't remember that time. You were too consumed by darkness. Now, enough talk. Give me your Ranger Powers!"
"Never! We'll meet again. Ninja Smoke Screen!"
Crystal waved her arm, and they all disappeared when the smoke appeared. The enemy only laughed and left with the Magus Sisters. Crystal was right that they will meet again. And that next time would be the final battle.
The Rangers had made it back to the Command Center. Jason and Zack laid Adam down on the med table. Alpha examined his morpher, and confirmed that his Ranger powers were gone. They were taken.
"So the enemy can also steal our Powers," said Ashley. "How?"
"She just raised her arm and just took it," Adam explained. "I don't know how she was able to do so."
"Sounds completely different from when Lothor took our powers," said Cam. "He used my Samurai Amulet to absorb all of our Powers. Except Crystal and Tori still have their's, of course."
"The enemy is smart," said Crystal. "A lot smarter than I thought. She's been watching all of us. So...she's been the source of everything for every Rangers. All the villains each of us has faced...were only pawns. And now she appears to finish what they failed to do. And that's the destruction of all Power Rangers."
"Don't worry, Crystal. At least now we know the identity of the enemy," said Kira. "And know something else of what she can do."
"We have to be extra careful this time," said Andros. "She can easily take away our Ranger powers. Who knows what else she can do. She has the power to revive our old enemies. It'll be great trouble for all of us if everyone was brought back and we had to fight them once more. It'll be even difficult to defeat them all. Especially with her out in the open now. She can take our Ranger powers while we're busy fighting our old enemies."
"Andros is right," said Carlos. "We can't let her take our Ranger powers."
"She won't get our powers so easily," said Crystal. "She will be stopped. No matter...what..."
Hunter ran over to Crystal, catching her before she hit the floor. She had lost consciousness once more.
"Whoa. Hang in there, Crystal. I got you," he said, carrying her in his arms again.
Tori took Crystal's pack, and unfolded her sleeping bag. Alpha took out a pillow, and placed it on the floor next to it. Hunter carefully laid her down, and wrapped her in her sleeping bag.
"Something must be happening to her if she keeps losing consciousness like this," said Trent. "Has this ever happened before?"
"Nope. It hasn't until now," said Shane.
"We should find out what's going on with her," said Ethan. "I mean, it isn't normal for her to become this weak."
"It definitely isn't," said Alpha. "But, she somehow seems familiar. Like I've seen her in the archives during my time with Zordon."
"Oh. Right. You weren't there when she first showed up in Angel Grove," Adam said. "And you weren't here earlier when we were told more about her. She's the reincarnation of Zordon's daughter."
"Ai yi yi! Bless my circuits! If Zordon were here, he would be happy to see her again!" Alpha said. "I thought I remembered her from somewhere. Zordon has told me about his daughter many times, and I saw her pictures before."
"I wonder why Zordon didn't mention that he had a daughter," said Kimberly. "I mean, we really didn't know until now about her."
"Zordon thought it was more important to have you focused on fighting Rita, Lord Zedd, the Machine Empire and Divatox," said Alpha. "He wanted to tell you about his daughter and the one who really created the Power Coins, but he just couldn't bring himself to tell you."
"He really missed her whenever he talked about her...didn't he?" asked Billy. "Right?"
"Yes, you are right, Billy. He thought he would see her again after you five became Earth's Power Rangers. But, she never appeared. She was his only daughter. And they were really close."
"Zordon was never really one to talk about something personal," said Trini. "He never really talked about his life before."
"It would be great to see him again," said Zack. "Still find it hard to believe that he's no longer here with us. I know he's with us in spirit, but..."
"We know what you mean, Zack," said Jason. "I miss him too. We all do. He was a great mentor to all of us. And we can never forget what he has done for us. Out of everyone on this planet, he chose us to become the world's first Power Rangers."
"I remember how all of us except Jason didn't want to do it," said Trini. "But that was before Rita attacked us. Our lives have changed since then."
"Yeah. And then we were chosen to take your place," said Aisha. "I was still surprised that you were Power Rangers, and then Zordon chose us to replace you three."
"Then you asked me to take your place as the Yellow Zeo Ranger, Aisha," said Tanya. "It was a real honor to become a Power Ranger and help save the planet. In the process, I managed to find my parents."
"And then high school graduation came for you guys," said Justin. "You went off to college while I stayed behind with the new team of Turbo Rangers."
"And Divatox sure was a tough one," said T.J. "She sure was a diva too, like her name spoke. She hated it every time we ruined her plans."
"But, I still can't believe that they were able to find the Power Chamber," said Carlos. "And then the news about Zordon being captured by Dark Spector."
"And that's when we met," said Andros. "Then Zhane woke up after a while. I thought I lost you that day."
"How could you? You took care of me," Zhane said. "If you haven't, then I would've died that day."
"And then we found out that you were my long lost brother," said Karone. "I couldn't believe that I was lied to for many years, and I've done so much that caused so much trouble for you."
"Hey. You're making up for the time that was lost," Andros said, rubbing his little sister's head. "You're a Power Ranger now. You're one of us. And I'm proud of you. Always have and always will. Heck. You helped the Galaxy Rangers after Kendrix died and she asked you to take her place. You've done a lot to make up for what you did as Astronema. And you did it all on your own too."
"Can't believe so much has happened throughout the years," said Ashley. "I mean, who would've thought that all the Rangers would gather in one place. Let alone in the place where it all started."
"Yeah. I can't believe it myself," said Cassie.
"But just goes to show that we need to be together for this ultimate battle."
Everyone turned, and saw that Leo and Mike Corbett, Damon Henderson, Kai Chen, Maya, and Kendrix Morgan stand at the entrance. Alpha stood next to Leo.
"I saw them coming from the screen, and thought I would show them the way in," he said.
"Leo. It's great to see you again," said Andros.
"I never thought I would be standing in this Command Center," Leo said. "It's a real honor to be fighting alongside all of you. Especially Earth's first Power Rangers."
"Thanks again for what you've done in my place, Karone," Kendrix said, giving her a hug. "You did well in taking my place as the Pink Galaxy Rangers."
"I was glad to have helped," she said. "It was an honor to fight in your place."
"Man. Still hard to believe that we're fighting alongside every single Power Ranger that ever existed," said Damon. "I mean, a great evil that can revive our enemies? That only means Trakeena will be back. And maybe even her father Scorpius."
"I wouldn't be surprised. We already received the alert that the demons are back."
Everyone turned and saw the Lightspeed Rangers. Carter Grayson, Dana and Ryan Mitchell, Jowl Rowlings, Chad Lee, and Kelsey Winslow.
"Welcome to the Command Center of the first Power Rangers, Carter," Jason said, greeting them. "Good to see you again."
"Same to you, Jason. Tommy. Sure has been a while," Carter said.
"Hey! Don't forget me!"
Now entering were Wes Collins and Eric Myers. Followed behind them were people who wore white suits. Jen Scotts, Lucas Kendall, Trip, and Katie Walker. The Time Force rangers. Wes and Eric being today's Power Rangers, and the rest being from the year 3000.
"We already informed Wes of what was going on since the future was changing constantly," said Jen. "We know who Crystal is. We know that she is the reincarnation of the one who created the Power Rangers. Each one of us. It's a great honor to be working with the one who created the Chrono Morphers."
"And it is a great honor to be working along side you," said Shane.
"Power Rangers stick together. With all of us working together, we'll be unstoppable and defeat this enemy."
It was now Cole Evans, Danny Delgado, Alyssa Enrile, Taylor Earhardt, Max Cooper, and Merrick Baliton. They were the Wild Force Rangers. But, they weren't expecting Princess Shayla to come along with them.
"Hello, Power Rangers. I am Princess Shayla. Long ago, I was the little sister of one of your friend's past lives. It is a great honor to be in your presence."
"She wanted to come along," Merrick told them. "She wanted to see her sister again. Well, the reincarnation of her sister."
"It's no problem with us, man," said Dustin.
Just then two portals had opened up, and the Time Force Rangers went outside. Coming through the portals were the S.P.D Rangers, and also the RPM Power Rangers. Dr. K was also there with them, along with Sam and the Nova Ranger appearing out of the second portal. Even Kat Manx and Jack came along. Except, Jack was back in his red ranger outfit. They wanted to do it for old times sake and then go back to their regular lives again. Jack Landors, Sky Tate, Bridge Carson, Elizabeth "Z" Delgado, Sydney "Syd" Drew, Scott Truman, Flynn McAllistair, Summer Landsdown, Ziggy Grover, Gem and Gemma, Dillon and his sister Tenaya.
"I guess we're not the only ones from the future," said Jen. "We're the Time Force Rangers of the Year 3000."
"S.P.D Rangers. My name is Anubis Doggie Cruger. And this here is my team. It is an honor to fight along side all of the Power Rangers."
"And I'm Dr. K. And these are my friends. Also the Power Rangers from Corinth City."
"We picked them up along the way. A small time portal opened up and they popped through," said Sam.
"I can't believe that there are other Power Rangers," said Ziggy. "I mean, I thought we were the only ones. I mean come on! So many Power Rangers gathered all in one place."
"We'll explain more inside," Wes told them. "It's safer in the Command Center than out here. Follow us."
The Time Force Rangers led the S.P.D Rangers and RPM Rangers inside the commander. Doggie and Kat had seen the archives of the first Command Center, but never did they think of actually being inside it. Dr. K, Gem and Gemma were amazed with the technology that was inside the place. It was then that they noticed Crystal laying there.
"Bo," said Doggie. "No...It isn't Bo, but looks just like her."
"Same with-" Gem started.
"Our friend Dr. S." Gemma finished.
"This must be S's past life," Dr. K said. "It's been so long. She is the spitting image of her."
"Crystal is the reincarnate of every person that fought each evil," Tori explained to them. "We found it hard to believe, but she's still our friend."
"S was the one who helped create the Ranger program," Dr. K explained. "She, Gem and Gemma were my first friends. Although...S wasn't as lucky as Gem, Gemma and I were. We lost her after Venjix was released."
"Grumm got Bo before S.P.D was formed on Earth," Doggie said.
"Okay. Is anyone else bugged that there is a talking dog in front of us?" said Dustin.
"It's fine. He's the one that trained us all," said Jack. "This is Doggie. Our mentor and the Shadow Ranger."
Not long after, everyone heard the horn of a train. One that sounded very close by. Tori went outside to check to see who it was, and it was the Mystic Force Rangers. Daggeron, Leanbow, Udonna, Xander Bly, Vida and Madison Rocca, Chip Thorn, and Nick Russell.
"Hey. Good to see you again, Xander," Tori said.
"Same with you, Tori," Xander replied. "Hope we're not late."
"Just in time. Almost all the other Rangers are here. Just waiting on the Overdrive Rangers and the others."
"Did someone say Overdrive?"
Everyone looked up to see that the Operation Overdrive Rangers have arrived in the S.H.A.R.K. Out of the jet came Mack Hartford and his dad Andrew Hartford, Dax Lo, Ronny Robinson, Will Aston, Rose Ortiz and Tyzonn.
"Hey. Good to see you again, Tori. Xander," said Mack. "Sure has been a while. Where's Crystal?"
"Inside. Come on in."
"Hey. Don't count us out."
Now arriving were the Jungle Fury Rangers. Casey Rhodes, Theo Martin, Lily Chilman, RJ, and Dominic Hargan. Also with them were Camille and Jarrod, fellow friends and students at Pai Zhua.
"We're the Jungle Fury Rangers. Hope we're on time."
"Yeah. You sure are," Tori said, smiling at them. "Time to debrief everyone then."
Everyone followed Tori inside the Command Center, and were also amazed on the inside. Everyone started to introduce one another, and the Alien Rangers of Aquitar appeared on the screen. They would arrive when the battle came for they can't survive without water, of course. Their life force were completely different from the Rangers. The Ninja Storm Rangers debriefed everyone on the situation, and left no detail out. They fully explained everything and what happened recently with Adam.
"All in all, it looks like all the Power Rangers are here," said Tommy. "Can't believe this day has come that all Rangers have to come together to destroy just one villain."
"Not just any villain," said Jason. "One that can revive our old enemies."
"Which is why it is necessary to make sure that the enemy doesn't win this battle."
Everyone turned, and it was Crystal's voice. Except, she wasn't awake. Her spirit had come out, and had entered the energy tube that once held Zordon.
"Crystal?" said Hunter.
"This is no battle against evil now. It is not an ordinary battle anymore. All of our fights have led up to this moment. This time...It is war against this enemy. And we must not fail. Or else it truly will be the end for the planet, and for the Power Rangers, including me. This is the final battle for all of us. It is now or never. This is the greatest battle in history for all us Power Rangers. The enemy can't have their way with this planet. If Earth falls, then everything else will. We can't let that happen. Are you ready Power Rangers? This is the final fight for the safety and security of not only Earth, but the whole universe. Are you ready to fight the greatest battle ever? Are you ready to fight to the end?"
