Jason: Excited?

Ashley: Very much so.

Tommy: I am as well. I need to know what happens next!

Rocky: Well let's get it all started then!


Rita's Palace
Goldar's Chambers
Loyal Knight Goldar
(Theme of Goldar's Chambers - Legend of Dragoon ost– Black Castle)

Goldar sat in the middle of his chambers with his armor removed, revealing his furry yet muscular chest and a pair of black pants and he sat on his knees with his sword placed on his lap.

There was orange-red energy flowing from off his body as he meditated, the various wounds that littered his body was glowing with the same energy. Finally, Goldar opened his eyes, which was glowing the same fiery red and the wounds on his chest closed.

He stood up as he grabbed his blade and swung it lazily from side to side before he twisted his body and delivered a powerful slash to the wall, causing a huge arc of fiery-red energy to collide into the wall, causing a large hole to appear, revealing stars that littered the galaxy before the wall reformed without a scratch with a bolt of scarlet red energy.

Goldar smirked.

The castle was made by of unbreakable steel. For him to be able to cause a hole to appear told him that he was at full power.

"Good. It is time…" Goldar whispered as he placed his blade into a small slot on the cement floor of his chambers then twisted it. Moments later, small circular chamber began to rise before him and when it stopped, Goldar found himself face to face with his brand new armor.

The armor made in the image of the Samurai that lived in the Sengoku era.

The chest armor was bright gold in color and it had two black colored metal flames etched into the breastplate of the armor.

The shoulder pads of the armor had three rung of spikes followed by a long golden spike that reached to the elbows of the suit.

There was a pair of large golden gauntlets with black and red metal etched into the gold, followed by two thigh guards that also held three rungs of spikes on them.

There was also a pair of golden boots that reached to his knees where two spikes laid on top of the knees and finally, there was the helmet. The helmet bore two large ears and three spikes poking out from

Goldar gazed upon the suit of armor for a moment. The last time he had seen the armor look so beautiful like this was when his father had given it to him once he joined Rita's army. Goldar picked up the helmet and said "With this suit, I shall not fail…"

Goldar then turned his head to gaze out of the window towards the Earth. "Enjoy your moments rangers…For tomorrow, I bring death."

*Intro End*


The Legend of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Chapter Fifty: The Hillards


Angel Grove – Downtown
Skyforce Base
The Chosen Rangers
(Theme of Skyforce Meeting – Legend of Dragoon ost- Uneasy State)

"Sit," Charlotte told the group of teens as she pointed down to the large round table in the meeting room of her base of operations.

The five rangers looked around and noticed above the meeting room, there was a glass going in a circular motion and they could see dozens of people behind them, watching with inquisitive eyes.

Did they all know as well?

"Where are you taking Jason?" Ashley asked them as she looked to Jason's wounded body, which sat on a stretcher, a silent expression of pain on his unconscious face.

"We're taking him to our healing station," Peter told the young girl.

"I'm going with you then," Ashley replied with narrowed eyes.

"I don't think that's a good id-" Peter began.

"I'm going," Ashley repeated firmly, interrupting the older man.

"Just take her with you honey," Charlotte said to Peter, who grimaced but nodded and had two security guards push Jason's body out of the room with Peter and Ashley following behind them, leaving the rangers alone with Charlotte.

"Those people up there," Zack said. "They need to go as well."

"Consider it done," Charlotte said as she pressed a button on her watch and said "All of you need to clear out. Video cameras also need to go off pronto!"

The rangers watched as the white coated civilians walked away from the glass before the lights behind them shut off, revealing an empty room. "Satisfied?" Charlotte asked.

"Potentially," Trini replied.

"Good. Now all of you, sit. We have a lot to discuss," Charlotte said.

The rangers nodded and sat down in their chairs and looked to Charlotte, who still stood up. "Now…When Katherine introduced all of you to us, we thought you kids were normal kids that knew martial arts….So imagine my surprise when we found out you were the Power Rangers. And then imagine our surprise when we found out our own daughter was one!" Charlotte exclaimed.

Katherine flinched guiltily and looked down at the table. "Katherine, we taught you martial arts so you could defend yourself, not get caught up as a ranger," Charlotte said. "Putting your life on the line day in and day out. Do you know how we would have felt if you died and found this out?!"

Charlotte then turned to the rest of the rangers and exclaimed "And what about your parents or guardians?! They would have been crushed to find out you were the Power Rangers only after you died! Hell, Jason is heavily wounded. He could have died today! So why didn't any of you tell your parents about this?"

"We were ordered not to," Katherine said.

"By whom?" Charlotte asked.

"Our leader," Katherine responded.

"So Jason told you not to tell us?" Charlotte asked.

"Nice to just automatically assume Jason is our leader," Zack joked. "However, you're not wrong. He is but he's not the one that ordered us not to tell."

"Oh, so you have another leader then?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes but I don't think he'd appreciate us blabbing about him," Trini responded.

"We I don't appreciate my daughter and her friends risking their lives," Charlotte retorted.

"Look, we understand your concern," Billy said, trying to placate Charlotte's anger. "But when these monsters began to appear, no one could stop them. If we didn't take up the mantle of being Power Rangers, then our planet would have been taken by now. It is because of our involvement that we've been able to stop them."

"And while the world is appreciative of this fact, it doesn't change anything. All of you are mere teenagers with your lives ahead of you. This isn't your fight to handle," Charlotte replied. "Which is why I'm more disappointed in you Katherine. You knew that the only reason we were here was to create our own rangers to protect the world and yet you became one."

"Wait, what?" Zack asked in alarm as he looked to Katherine.

"I repeat his sentiment," Billy said as his eyes locked onto hers.

Trini didn't even say anything, she just casted a dangerous gaze towards Katherine.

"Before we begin, listen," Katherine said. "My parents are here to create their own Power Rangers. I've known this from jump. This is before I met any of you and called you my friends. As you just heard, they are now finding out I am a ranger myself so that means I didn't tell them anything about our team or anything."

"Then how do they know we are the rangers and why didn't you ever tell us?" Trini asked her.

"Reason I didn't tell you guys was honestly, I never had a chance. From jump, I was involved with you guys. From Knasty Knight to Aura Pink to my ranger status now to teaming up with Pirate Force, I never got a breath edge wise to tell you guys," Katherine answered.

"She does have a point," Zack said, conceding. "We did jump from each situation rather quickly."

"That's true," Trini said.

"As for how they found out…Mom, how did you find out?" Katherine asked.

Charlotte reached into her pocket and pulled out six familiar ranger keys, which caused Katherine to lean off her chair and shout "No way do you have those!"

"You know what these are?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes. You have no right to have those," Katherine said. "Those belong to the Pirate Force Rangers!"

"They belong to Skyforce," Charlotte replied. "And I know this is quite the situation Katherine but remember who you are speaking to…"

"Sorry…" Katherine replied. "But still, those are ranger's property. You do not know what you are dealing with."

"And you do?" Charlotte asked.

"Considering I used one, yes. I sure do," Katherine replied.

"Well once we are done using them, I will return them," Charlotte said.

"But mom," Katherine began.

"But nothing," Charlotte replied. "We will keep your identities for now but once our Rangers are create, all of you will cease your ranger activates or else that will change."

"You're not going to bully us out of being rangers by exposing us," Zack told her with a frown on his face.

"It's not bullying, it's looking out for my daughter and her friends," Charlotte replied.

"Look, this is not a nine to five job for us to just quit at a whim. When we became rangers, we accepted this responsibility to save Earth from being taken over willingly. Not for the fame or wanting to challenge ourselves but because it was the right thing to do."

"He's right," Trini said. "We've gone through hell, both as rangers and as normal people due to this that normal people would never take on willingly if they weren't up to the task. Yeah, it's easy to put on a suit and fight but you have to have the heart to continue on, even when things look dire."

"And most of all, teamwork is key. Having the heart, dedication and skills are good but its teamwork that makes this all work for us. Trini, Kimberly, Zack, Jason and I have been friends since we were younger and even when we are at odds with one another, we are still able to work in sync." Billy added. "It's why we were chosen to be rangers and it was why Katherine was chosen as well. She showed these qualities without being behind the suit."

"So in short mom, If you cannot find anyone with these qualifiers, then you're better off ending this project before you send your rangers to a grisly end," Katherine finished with crossed arms.

Charlotte remained silent for a moment before she replied "I will take those words into consideration. Once Jason heals, you all may leave." Charlotte then gave a nod and walked away.

"Your mom seems pissed," Zack said once Charlotte left the room.

"Well think about it Zack. Katherine just spoke against what they've been trying to do since they showed up," Trini said. "Of course she would feel somewhat betrayed. Not to mention, she has a right to worry about her daughter."

"I must say guys, between that mysterious Zord, the blatant attack at the stadium and how vicious that monster was and now this…I think something big is happening," Billy said.

"I agree," Trini said. "We're going to have to be one hundred percent focused from here on out."

"Oh, speaking of our secret being out," Zack suddenly said. "I have a feeling Adam and the others know we are rangers as well."

"What?!" The three exclaimed.


Flashback
Ruins of Angel Grove – Command Center
Unknown Female

"Don't you do this Jason!" the hooded female screamed as she banged her right fist against the glass before her.

On the other side of the glass, Jason stood in front of her in his ranger uniform, a bittersweet smile on his face. "Sorry but I have no choice," he told her. She could barely hear him over the sounds of combat coming from above them.

"You said that we would go back and change it all together!" The hooded female screamed. "I can't do this on my own. I need you here with me!"

"I can't leave them behind," Jason told her softly before he lifted up his left wrist and said into it "Zordon, activate the portal before it's too late!"

The female could see lavender colored particles floating around her, which caused her to frantically pound against the glass. "Jason please," she wailed. "I don't want to lose you. Not to them. Please! Just let me out of here and we can stop them together! Please don't do this!"

Jason turned around and gave her a smile and it was then she saw tears falling from his eyes. "Don't have so little faith in yourself…You can do this. We all believe in you."

"Jason!" she screamed as the tube around her began to glow brightly, the last image she saw was Jason putting on his helmet before it all went white.


Present Time – Angel Grove
Mountains
Unknown Female

With a gasp, the hooded female woke up within her zord, her breathing sharp and quick. She then reached up and touched her left cheek and realized that there were tears falling from her eyes.

'Jason…' The figure thought softly before she glanced down into her arms to the Power Sword, covered in black cloth and tied with glowing orange chains.

She gripped the blade to her chest as tears fell against the hilt.


Angel Grove – Downtown
Skyforce Base
Ashley Hammond
(Theme of Ashley Hammond – Legend of Dragoon ost –Twilight of Rose)

"Will he be okay in there?" Ashley questioned as she watched Jason float up and down within the mysterious liquid, her eyes locked on the slowly closing wound in his left shoulder.

"He will be fine," Peter noted. "This healing tank was created by one of our top scientists. He will be healed in no time."

"H-How long will it take him to heal?" Ashley asked.

"Just another few minutes and he'll be ready," Peter replied as he glanced back at the teen within the healing tank.

"I'm glad…I couldn't bear to see anything happen to him," Ashley admitted with a frown.

"Is he your…" Peter drifted off.

Ashley seemed to catch his meaning and blushed. "No, no…We're dating….Well….In that strange zone of dating but not dating yet, I guess? He's a great guy and I don't want to see him hurt like this," Ashley replied but her eyes seemed to lock on Jason's face and took a step towards the tube and placed her hand against it.

It was then her head was filled with a vision.

It was of Jason, standing behind a tube in his ranger uniform. He was looking within the tube with tears in her eyes.

She could see two fists banging against the glass and the rush of panic with each hit as well as sobbing as well. She could feel anger, sadness, betrayal and love coming from the person in front of the glass.

"I don't want to lose you. Not to them. Please! Just let me out of here and we can stop them together! Please don't do this!" the voice begged.

Ashley took a step back in surprise, which caused Peter to look at her in confusion.

'W-What just happened?' Ashley thought to herself as she looked at her hand and then looked to Jason's body.

What had she just seen?

"Are you alright?" Peter asked her.

"I'm ok…" Ashley said softly, looking back at her hand. "Just a little static shock. That's all."

"Are you sure? I see tears," Peter noted.

Ashley blinked in surprise and lifted her hand to her left cheek and felt wetness beneath her fingertips.

When did she begin to cry?

Better question, why did she cry?

"I'm fine…I promise," Ashley said as she wiped the tears away. From the skeptical look Peter had given her, Ashley knew he didn't believe her but it didn't matter. What mattered was what she had just seen.

"But to think that he is the mighty Red Ranger…It's quite humbling that a bunch of teenagers could hold the fate of the world on their shoulders…They must truly be powerful to handle such a task…" Peter said as he looked back to Jason's healing form.

"Yeah…" Ashley murmured, her mind gazing back to the vision had just saw. "They are truly carrying the weight of the world…"

"Very much so. While I was surprised that my daughter is one, I am proud of what she and her friends have done. I just hope our rangers can stand up to what they've accomplished by protecting this city," Peter continued with a small grin.

"You're creating your own rangers?" Ashley asked him with surprise.

"Yes. We already have the six subjects in mind," Peter said, a knowing grin on his face. "But that's between you and I for now, Miss Hammond."

Ashley stared at the grinning face of Peter, trying to decipher his words but then, there was a chime sound coming from the tank, which prompted Peter to say "Ah! He's all done. I didn't think it would be so soon." Peter pressed several buttons on the tank and the liquid began to lower down the tank until it was gone.

Ashley saw Jason's eyes clench together before they opened slowly and looked right at her. "Welcome back…" Ashley said to him. Ashley couldn't help but blush at the intensity of the stare and gave him a smile in return.

Jason shut his eyes and nodded before he looked to Peter with a skeptical look. "It's ok Jason…We're at Skyforce. The place Katherine's parents work at" Ashley told him. "They know about you and the others."

Jason's eyes widened in surprise at her.

"I don't know how but somehow, they found out. The others are speaking to Katherine's mother now," Ashley explained.

"How are you understanding him while he's in there?" Peter asked.

"His eyes. He has really expressive ones I find," Ashley responded as she watched the tank's door rise up only to see his bare, muscular chest, which caused her face to turn scarlet.

Peter reached into the tank and loosened the straps around Jason's wrists, thighs and chest then removed the breathing mask from his face and said "Welcome back to the land of the living."

"Thanks," Jason said with an exhausted tone in his voice. "So you know Mr. Hillard?"

"We do," Peter said.

"Damn it," Jason replied. "You guys tell our parents?"

"No and I don't plan to do so," Peter said. "Your friends are waiting down in the meeting room. I have some work to do but please, go join them."

"Thank you," Jason said with a nod before he asked "Where is my shirt?"


Kimberly: Its ending there?!

Ashley: Yeah…It seems Goldar is preparing for combat. I wonder what will happen now.

Zack: Possibly the dates?

Ashley: Date? Oh! The date! That's right! Oh no…Now I'm nervous!

Zack: Hehe. Until the next chapter guys!
