"Adam, Rangers, Zordon . . ."

Now . . .

Chapter 38- Zeo Beginnings Part 2

Alpha was about to answer the rangers when Zordon appeared in the plasma tube behind the computers.

"Rangers, the Machine Empire- King Mondo, Queen Machina, and their son, Prince Sprocket- has come to add Earth to the list of planets it has conquered. There is no time to waste. You must harness the power of the Zeo crystal."

"Zordon," Billy started, looking up at their mentor. "There are only five sub-divisions of the crystal. This means it only has enough power for five rangers."

"I'll step down." Tanya said, looking over at Billy. "You've been a ranger longer and have the experience to keep going."

Billy shook his head. "As much as I enjoyed being a Power Ranger, my talents lie here. I am of more help you guys being here in the Power Chamber than I am as a ranger out there on the battlefield. So, it is with great pleasure, that I give you, Tanya, my sub-division of the Zeo Crystal." Tanya smiled and was about to thank Billy, when the alarms went off in the Power Chamber. Billy went over to the computers and said, looking up at the viewing globe.

"Quadra Fighters are attacking Earth. I think King Mondo is testing Earth's defenses."

"You are quite right, Billy." Zordon said, looking down at the rangers. "King Mondo is trying to determine how easy it will be for him to take Earth, so we must hurry. These are your new morphers," The morphers appeared on the rangers' wrists. "They are called Zeonizers. They will harness the Zeo Crystal's power. Step forward, Rangers, and accept your new destiny."

The rangers stepped forward and Zordon said, the pink crystal hovering over Claire. "You, Claire, shall remain pink as Zeo Ranger I and Tanya, yellow is your color as Zeo Ranger II. Rocky, you are now Blue as Zeo Ranger III, Adam, you are Zeo Ranger IV, Green, and Tommy, you are the leader: Zeo Ranger V, Red. To activate the morph, call out 'It's Morphin time' and your Zeo number. Now go, and may the Power protect you."

Tommy stepped forward and said, twisting his wrists. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"

Claire called out, feeling her new power envelope her. "ZEO RANGER ONE: PINK!"

"ZEO RANGER TWO: YELLOW!" Tanya was encased in her suit and felt the power flowing through her body.

"ZEO RANGER THREE: BLUE!" Rocky felt his new color envelope him and he grinned.

"ZEO RANGER FOUR: GREEN!" Adam looked down at himself and felt the power coursing through him.

Tommy completed the team. "ZEO RANGER FIVE: RED!" Tommy felt his body encased in his new power and new color and it felt great.

"I knew it would be red next." Tommy looked back at his girlfriend and smiled.

"You know best, Beautiful."

"I hate to interrupt," Billy grinned, tongue-in-cheek. "But Earth needs saving."

"Right!" The rangers teleported out of the Power Chamber and found the Cogs.

"Ready guys?" Tommy asked.

"Ready!" The rangers jumped down to the ground and leaped into battle with the Cogs.

King Mondo was watching from his throne room and was shocked when he saw the Power Rangers had harnessed the power of the Zeo Crystal.

"What is the meaning of this?! KLANK!" King Mondo roared, angrily. Sprocket hid behind his mother as Klank, the scientist and King Mondo's advisor, walked in.

"It seems that Rita and Lord Zedd had not done away with the rangers as they thought they had. The rangers now have the power of the Zeo Crystal at their disposal."

"WHAT?!"

"Mondo, dear, do watch your oil pressure. We don't need you blowing a gasket again." Queen Machina said from her chair on the raised dias in the throne room.

"No matter," King Mondo said, as the rangers defeated his Cogs. "We shall have Earth at our mercy in no time."

"That's the idea, Dear." Queen Machina said, nodding to her husband. King Mondo laughed and said, looking down on Earth with a sinister smirk on his face.

"Soon Rangers, soon, your precious planet will be mine for the taking and you won't be there to save the day."

After the fight with the Cogs, the rangers met up at Ernie's Beach Club, Ernie's outdoor cafe, in their new colors. Claire sat down next to Tommy and Rocky asked, frowning.

"How did you know that Tommy was going to be red?" Adam and Tanya perked up in interest while Billy merely grinned.

"It was simple," she looked around to make sure they weren't being overheard and continued. "I knew he would be red because he went from the green ranger to the white ranger. It only made sense that he would be the next red because he's a leader." Adam, Tanya, and Rocky grinned.

"That," Adam said, "Is amazing logic." Claire grinned and said, turning to look at Tommy.

"Just so you know, I'm keeping my pink and white checkered bikini. I like those two colors together."

Tommy raised an eyebrow. "You don't like red and pink together?"

Claire rolled her eyes and kissed him thoroughly before replying. "I love those colors together, but how am I going to explain to my dad, yet again, why I need a new bikini for the fourth time?"

"Just tell him you can't make up your mind on which one you like best," Adam replied. "It works well for my cousin, Leslie."

Claire smiled and replied. "You're cousin is 13, Adam, of course it works for her. She's trying to decide on what her best color is. I'm almost 18. I should know by now what my best color is." She gave Tommy a sly look. "Now, if only Mr. Technicolor here, would stop change colors, that would make me a happy camper."

"He'll never stop you know." Rocky said, grinning. "I think, and Jason agrees with me all the way on this, that Tommy is determined to be every ranger color known to man."

"I don't know about that." Claire said, looking at her boyfriend. "I don't think he'd look too good in Crimson."

Tanya nodded in agreement. "Crimson would wash him out." Claire nodded and Tommy raised an eyebrow at the two.

"Is there something you need to share?" The two smiled and Claire said as she spotted an old friend of theirs.

"Well, Tanya needed a place to stay, and since Dad's kind of swamped with work, I didn't want to bother him, so . . ."

Tanya grinned and said as their old friend joined them. "So Kat's letting me stay with her and I've been officially enrolled at Angel Grove High for the fall." Claire grinned as Kat sat next to her.

Adam grinned. "That's great!"

"I know! I'm really excited." Tanya grinned at her house sister and Kat grinned back.

"This is definitely going to be one exciting year." The blonde Australian said, grinning. The rangers grinned at each other, knowing that it definitely would be.
