POWER RANGERS SPIRIT FORCE (REWRITE)

CHAPTER 1: SPIRITS UNLEASH

Department of Mysteries, Ministry of Magic -

Harry Potter and his friends, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom and Ginny Weasley walked through the corridors of the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic. An hour or so ago, Harry had received a vision of Lord Voldemort torturing his godfather Sirius Black while demanding that Sirius give Voldemort a prophecy. Harry, being the hero that he was, was more than ready to try and find his godfather. Naturally, Ron and Hermione were willing to go with him, but he grudginly accepted Ginny, Luna and Neville's company, so the six flew to the Ministry of Magic building in London.

"Here it is," said Harry standing in front of a black door with a gold object set into the wood. "This is it." He opened the door and the six walked through it. Lighting their wands, the six teens slowly walked through the large room with its tall shelves full of glass balls.

"Harry," said Neville after a while, "you should look at this." Harry groaned and looked to where Neville was pointing. "It has your name on it."

Harry looked at the small placque which read: To A.P. ; Harry Potter and the Dark Lord (?) from S.P.T. Harry picked up the small orb and stared at it. He then heard a voice from it saying, "The one with the power to stop the Dark Lord approaches, and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal for he has power the Dark Lord knows not. Either will fall at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives."

"Harry..." said Hermione, whose voice was shaking a little as she pointed her wand behind him. Harry turned to see two Death Eaters wearing black hooded robes and masks.

"You know," said a muffled voice from under the mask, "you should really know the difference between dreams and reality." Harry's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the Death Eater pull a wand from a walking stick, and there was only one person he knew who had a wand concealed in their walking stick: Lucius Malfoy. "Now, give me the prophecy, Potter."

"Why should I give it to you?" Harry said trying to stall the man. "Tell me, or we'll use wands."

"The baby knows how to play!" said a female voice beside Lucius. This woman was not wearing a mask at all. Harry clearly saw a pale, gaunt face with long wild dark hair and heavily-lidded eyes. "Itty, bitty, baby Potter."

"Bellatrix Lestrange!" Neville gasped.

"Neville Longbottom, is it?" said Bellatrix with a wicked grin. "How's Mum and Dad?"

"Better now they'll be avenged!" Neville snarled pointing his wand at her. Bellatrix laughed.

"Give me that prophecy, Potter." Lucius said calmly. "There's no need to fight. Just give it to me, and you'll walk away unharmed." Harry stood still, not moving. "Come now, Potter, don't you want to know the reason the Dark Lord went after you all those years ago? Do you want to know the secret of your scar? It's all right there in your hand. All you have to do is give it to me."

"I've waited fourteen years," Harry said looking at the prophecy in his hand."

"I know," said Lucius kindly.

"I guess I can wait a little longer. STUPEFY!" Harry shouted. His spell was copied by the other five teens causing Lucius and his partner to block the spells with a Shield Charm. "RUN!" Harry yelled at the others and they all ran toward the door, fighting more Death Eaters as they ran. Harry watched as Neville successfully hit one Death Eater with a Body-Bind Curse and Luna hit another with a good Levicorpus spell as he ran past them. The six nearly ran into each other literally in the center of the room.

"REDUCTO!" Ginny shouted and her spell flew through the air and crashed into one of the shelves.

"GET TO THE DOOR!"Harry yelled and the six ran through a door and fell down quite a few feet. When they stood up, Harry saw an archway. He and Luna walked toward it, listening to the whispers they heard. He barely heard Hermione telling him to move away from it before the Death Eaters joined them and captured five of them, leaving Harry alone with Lucius walking toward him. Harry heard the dull tapping of the walking stick hitting the rocky floor as Lucius walked.

"Did you really think, or were you really foolish enough to believe, that a bunch of children would stand a chance against us?" Lucius sneered. "I'm giving you once last chance, Potter. Give me the prophecy now, or watch your friends die."

Harry was about to answer the evil man when there was a burst of white light behind Lucius who turned around. Harry's heart leapt when Sirius Black stood behind the evil man. "Get the hell away from my godson!" Sirius growled and punched Lucius in the face. Harry then saw many of the Order of the Phoenix appear as well including Moody, Lupin, Tonks and many more.

After a while of Sirius and Harry dueling Lucius, Harry heard Bellatrix shout, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" and saw a jet of green light hit Sirius in the chest. Sirius staggered back a little and then fell through the archway into nothingness.

"NO!" Harry shouted. Bellatrix, laughing, left the room and headed back to the Atrium with Harry hot on her heels. "CRUCIO!" Harry yelled. His curse hit Bellatrix and she fell to the floor, but she was not writhing in pain like any other wizard Harry had seen the curse used on did. Panting and angry, Harry stood in the Atrium with his wand pointed at Bellatrix. She began laughing again and Harry was confused as to why she would do so, but he then figured it out as his scar began searing in pain.

"You have to mean it, Harry," said a familiar high, cold voice. "She killed him. You know the spell. Do it!" Harry turned and tried to disarm Lord Voldemort, but the Dark Lord was too quick for him. Harry felt himself fall to the floor hard and saw the pale face of Voldemort standing over him. "You are a fool, Harry Potter, and you will lose."

"Not if I can help it." Harry growled. Voldemort glared but walked away just as Dumbledore appeared from a fireplace. "Professor..."

"Go, Harry." Dumbledore said. "If he's going where I think he is, the results could really be against us." Harry nodded and ran after Voldemort back to the room with the archway.

The Archway Room

"STOP!" Harry shouted. Voldemort stopped a foot or two away from the archway and turned. "Whatever your planning won't work, Tom!"

"How dare you use my filthy Muggle father's name?" Voldemort hissed angrily. "What I am about to do will change the course of history forever! I will make it so that I, Lord Voldemort, will rule the world!" He turned and took a step toward the archway.

Harry made to move toward it as well and was surprised to see Ron, Hermione and Ginny walking with him. Turning to Neville and Luna, he said, "You two go back to Hogwarts with Dumbledore. Ron, Ginny, Hermione and I will go after Voldemort." Neville and Luna nodded and left the room with the rest of the Order of the Phoenix. "Come on," said Harry to the other three. "Let's go." Together, the four teens tackled Voldemort and they, along with the Dark Lord, fell through the archway. Harry felt as if he had died, but knew that he was at least somewhat alive. He saw nothing but white light as they flew through nothingness and he closed his eyes.

When Harry opened his eyes, he saw a bright sunlight and grass. Harry sat up a little to take in his surroundings. There were trees, grass and even a small lake nearby. Near him were Ron, Hermione and Ginny. "Are you three okay?" he asked after shaking them to wake them up.

"Yeah, we're good," said Ron standing, "but where are we?"

"I know we're definitely still on Earth, but..." Hermione said. "Where's Voldemort?" The four looked around to see if they could find the evil Dark wizard, but found nothing. "He was with us when we went through that archway, wasn't he?"

Harry nodded. "Come on, let's find out where we are." The others agreed and they walked through the area until they came across a small town. "Angel Grove?" Harry said reading a newspaper he found about an hour later. "Where is that?"

"It's a suburban area in California. Look at this!" Hermione said taking the paper from Harry and showing the others. The four stared at a picture of a giant creature that looked like a piranha carrying a fish-shaped flute battling a giant robot that looked like a samurai. "According to this, a group of heroes calling themselves the Power Rangers battled a monster called 'Pirantishead' with something called the 'Mega Thunderzord' after their original robots that were based on dinosaurs were destroyed by the same monster."

"But..." said Ginny, "...what does this have to do with us? We just got here and neither Ron nor I know anything about these Power Rangers. Who are they?"

"No one knows," said Harry. "Back home, I heard some stories about the Power Rangers on the news, but that was all." He looked at the year on the paper. "1995...this is a couple of months before our battle at the Department of Mysteries! I think we should find these Power Rangers and see if there's a way to get home. Where do we start?"

The four turned as they heard a growling laugh behind them. A blue-skinned primate wearing gold armor with black wings stood there with silver-skinned creatures with a large 'Z' on their chests. "I think you should start...by running!" the armored ape growled. "Unless you wish to die sooner."

"Not a chance, Banana-Breath!" Ginny growled back as she and the others drew their wands. "EXPELLIARMUS!" A jet of light shot from her wand and hit the creature in the chest, but the spell just bounced off of it. "What the...?"

"Oh, bloody hell!" Ron groaned. "How are we going to defeat this thing?" The armored ape pointed its sword at them from which a beam of fire shot hitting the ground in front of them making the four teenaged wizards fly backward. "Okay, this thing has power."

"Yeah," said Harry, "but what can we do? Our magic won't stop it!" He stood up and raised his wand again, his anger building. "Never thought I'd do this, but...CRUCIO!" The effect of the Cruciatus Curse was instant as the armored ape fell to the ground writhing and screaming in pain. Harry lifted the curse. "Had enough?"

"You'll pay for that, Mageling!" the armored ape shouted. "You haven't seen the last of Goldar!" Before any of the four wizards could do anything else, Goldar vanished in a flash of fire leaving the wizards mostly unharmed but shaken.

"That was not expected." Ron said panting slightly. He tensed up as he felt a strange tingling sensation hit him. His stomach growled and he put a hand to it, looking a little sheepish. "I guess it's time to eat." Harry, Ginny and Hermione shook their heads, though smiling and Harry checked the newspaper again.

"There's a Youth Center nearby that has food," he said. "We can go there and get something to eat. I'm hungry, too." They made their way to the Youth Center and found that the place was very nice with tables to sit at and saw a few teens teaching classes like Karate, gymnastics and other stuff. "This place is amazing!" Harry said as they walked into the place and sat at the bar. A friendly-looking heavyset man wearing a Hawaiian shirt came up and asked for their orders. "Um, I'll have the cheeseburger, fries and a cola." Harry said.

"I'll have the fish and chips and a soda as well," said Ginny looking at the menu. Hermione ordered the same as Harry while Ron ordered a burger, fish and chips and something to drink, which made Harry, Hermione and Ginny stare at him in surprise. "Well, how are we going to pay for this?" asked Ginny once the heavyset man told them the price for all the food. "We don't have any Muggle American money, do we?"

"Don't worry, kids," said the owner, "it's on the house. The name's Ernie, by the way." They shook hands with Ernie and introduced themselves. "So you're from England? That explains the fish and chips orders," he said with a chuckle. "Well, welcome to Angel Grove. Hope you like it here."

"Thanks," said Harry, "and we just arrived here a few moments ago, really." He took the tray of food and he and the other three sat down at a table nearby. "All right, let's eat." The four ate their food happily. A few minutes later, Harry raised his eyebrows when two boys, a large boy with long brown hair in a ponytail wearing a black leather jacket, and a skinnier boy with greasy black hair also wearing a leather jacket, walked in.

"Well," said the large boy, "lookie here, Skull. Looks like we have some newcomers in town."

"Yeah! Newcomers!" the skinny boy repeated making Harry roll his eyes. The boy called 'Skull' noticed this and walked up to the four newcomers. "Got a problem, geek?"

"First off," said Harry calmly, "my name is Harry, not 'Geek', and yes, I have a problem. Why are you being so mean to everyone?"

"Yeah," said Ginny angrily, "we did nothing to you!"

The larger boy took a few steps closer to them making Ginny back her chair up to move away from the boy's enlarged gut. When the boy spoke, he seemed friendly, but Harry didn't like the way he talked to her. "Well, why don't you ditch those geeks and come with me, then?" he said kindly. "I'll show you around town, if you like."

"No thanks," said Ginny sternly, "and I wouldn't go with you if you were the last boy on Earth."

"Come on, Bulk," said Skull tapping the larger boy on his shoulder, "she's one of the geeks, remember?" Bulk sighed but nodded. "See ya later, dweebs!"

Harry and the others watched the two boys leave and went back to their meal and another shadow approached them. "For the last time, leave us...oh, sorry!" Harry said when he looked up. A teen wearing green with long dark hair in a ponytail stood beside him along with a very pretty and petite brunette girl wearing a pink shirt and denim skirt. "I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay," said the boy. "Don't let those two get to you, okay?" Harry nodded. "I"m Tommy and this is Kimberly."

"It's nice to meet you," said Harry. "I'm Harry and this is Ron, Ginny and Hermione." The two shook hands with them. "You can join us if you'd like." The two sat down.

"We overheard your conversation with Ernie a bit ago before he gave you your food," said Tommy. "When did you get in town?"

"Less than an hour ago," said Ron. "We would tell you how, but you probably would think we're mad and I don't mean the angry type of mad." Tommy and Kimberly nodded and winced as a high-pitched beeping sound came from their watches.

"Uh," said Kimberly glancing at her wrist, "we have a school project to do. We'll catch you on the flip side." She grabbed Tommy's hand and pulled him toward the hall leading to the exit. Tommy waved as he was dragged away.

"That was odd," said Ron shaking his head. "Not as odd as Bulk and Skull, but still odd."

"What I want to know is where Voldemort is." Harry said to his friends. "We need to find him and soon." The others nodded.

Lunar Palace - The Moon

Lord Zedd was in a furious rage as always when his plans were foiled by the Power Rangers. "Those Power Rangers..." he growled as his body glowed red with energy, "...are getting on my nerves! I am beginning to understand why Rita was unable to destroy them!"

"My Lord," said Goldar, "I ran into four magelings and they defeated me with their magic."

"Yes, Goldar, I know," said Zedd standing from his throne. "I think it's about time we..." The whole palace shook and Zedd fell flat on his face. "What in the name of the Dark Galaxy was that?" he yelled. "Goldar, find whatever did that!" Goldar left the throne room and returned moments later with a human with ghostly pale skin, a flat snake-like nose and long pale fingers wearing a black robe. "Who are you?"

"My name is Lord Voldemort," said the human in a soft tone, "and you are...?"

"I am Lord Zedd, ruler of all that I see." Zedd said. "How did you manage to get into my palace undetected?"

Voldemort looked around the room with a satisfied nod. "I haven't the faintest idea, my friend. You see, I and four others fell through an archway during a battle and I landed on the Moon. Unfortunately, I have no idea how I got here in the first place, but that is not of importance. Did I hear you correctly?" He looked at Goldar now. "Did you say you battled four young wizards and lost?" Goldar, embarrassed, nodded. "Did one of them have black hair, round glasses and a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead?"

"Yes," said Goldar, "he was the one who defeated me."

"I see," said Voldemort. "That, my gold friend, would be Harry Potter, a young half-blood wizard that I tried to kill multiple times already. The first time I tried to kill him, he was only a baby but, as I later realized, his mother invoked a powerful ancient magic that protected him and destroyed my body. It took thirteen years for me to regain my full power and that was last year. Fortunately, two of my faithful followers have arrived from where I was before and are here on the Moon with me."

"Your followers?" Zedd sneered. "I apologize, but I do not see why anyone would ever follow your lead if you can't kill a mere infant!"

"SILENCE!" Voldemor shouted making Zedd back up a few steps. "I refuse to be spoken to like that by some alien who is having trouble with their own enemies!"

"Now, you listen here!" Zedd snarled, his body glowing red with his anger. "I do not take orders from anyone! I am the Emperor of Evil and you will listen to me!" Zedd's anger intensified when Voldemort laughed at him. "I fail to see what is so funny."

"You call yourself the 'Emperor of Evil', yet you have difficulties conquering one planet!" Voldemort said still laughing slightly. "When I was last at full power, every wizard in the magical community was afraid of me. They were too scared to even say my name at one point. The only ones foolish enough to even speak my name were those that were powerful enough to even think about fighting back."

"I suppose those teenagers you spoke of are some of those foolish ones?" Zedd said and Voldemort nodded. "Well, there is no doubt that your little wizard opponents will be trying to join forces with the Power Rangers sometime soon if they find out that we have met. Perhaps we can help each other. I'll help you get rid of your problems and you can do the same with mine." Zedd held out a hand and Voldemort shook it. "So now we have a temporary alliance."

"It seems that way," said Voldemort. "Now, I believe you send a monster to Earth in an attempt to destroy your foes? How about we have my faithful Death Eaters to aid your monster? I'm sure that, together, our forces can defeat them."

"Very well," said Zedd. "There is one Ranger in particular that I wish to be rid of: that Green Ranger. He is one of Rita Repulsa's failures and needs to be taken out of the picture. As I understand it, the Green Ranger's powers are dwindling down and barely has enough power left for a few battles."

"I'm guessing you want my Death Eaters to wear him down enough so his powers are feeble enough for you to finally take him out." Voldemort said with a malicious smile. "Very well. Lucius! Bellatrix!" Zedd watched as two robed people stepped forward. One with long blonde hair and black gloves carrying a walking stick and the other with wild dark hair and crazed eyes. "I want you to go to Earth and find a boy named Tommy Oliver. Play with him a little, but do not kill him. Zedd, here, wants to finish him off when he's low on power."

"Yes, my Lord," said Bellatrix with a low bow. "We will not fail you."

"See that you don't." Voldemort said coldly. "You both have failed to retrieve the prophecy. Consider this your last chance to redeem yourselves. If you fail, you will not enjoy the outcome." Bellatrix and Lucius Disapparated with a small group of Z Putties and Voldemort turned to Zedd. "Is something wrong?" Zedd was holding his head as if he were in pain.

"I sense a disturbance within the Morphin Grid," said Zedd softly. "Something else is being transported through space and time...most likely another dimension or even an alternate reality. I want to capture whatever it is and turn it on our side."

"Yes, that seems to be a good idea," said Voldemort. "I can feel the power it emits and it would make a great asset to our cause. I can cast an Imperious Curse on whatever it is. Of couurse, I shall have to make it the most powerful Imperious Curse I can manage to keep it under our control for a longer duration of time."

"Do what you must, Voldemort. I, however, shall be preparing for the object's arrival through the grid. Once it reaches Earth, I will snatch them and they will be ours!" Zedd said laughing maniacally.

Back on Earth...

Harry and the others were enjoying some time in the park with Tommy, Kimberly and the rest of their friends. Harry enjoyed getting to know Jason, Trini, Zack and Billy. Jason was a good person and very loyal to his friends. Trini was a very calm and pretty Asian girl who had a fascination for yellow. Zack was a joker and dancer and Billy was an inventor and science man. They briefly met a few days prior to this, but never got a chance to talk, although when Harry first saw Trini, he often noticed that she was glancing at him and her pale face turned bright pink when she saw he was looking at her. Ginny wasn't very happy about this but kept her mouth shut. Even Ron had noticed that Hermione had been looking between Jason and Billy at times.

"So, where did you go to school?" Billy asked curiously.

"We went to a boarding school together," said Harry. "The school is held in a large castle that you can get lost in very easily." The American teens were impressed. "So, what's it like in Angel Grove High? Must be interesting."

"Not as interesting as your school," said Trini with a smile. "I mean, the school does host fundraisers quite a few times every year, and we sometimes participate in the events, but not much happens in our school." Harry laughed. "I'd like to get to know all of you more."

"Yeah, sounds great," said Ron with a grin. "You guys are cool. I have a feeling this will be a good friendship." Everyone agreed with Ron on that one. They talked a little more but their conversation was interrupted when Ron spotted two figures nearby. "Oh, no! How did they get here?"

"Who?" Harry said and his green eyes widened when he saw what Ron was looking at. "Lucius and Bellatrix? What are they doing here?" The two Death Eaters that Harry named heard them and walked their way, their wands in their hands. Harry and the others drew their own wands while the American teens stood in a fighting stance. "Leave them to us." Harry said not looking at Tommy or Jason. "I don't want you getting hurt or worse."

"A very wise decision, Potter," said Lucius in his normal drawl. "Your new friend is right. You should get out of the way."

"We've fought worse than you," said Tommy bitterly. "You're nothing compared to what we've faced."

Bellatrix's crazed eyes narrowed as she hissed, "How dare you speak to us, you Mudbloods!"

Jason looked at Harry and his friends for answers and Harry knew exactly what he was about to ask. "Mudblood is a term used as an insult to describe a person who has no magical power of their own." Harry explained. "It's a term used by pureblood wizards that are prejudiced against any other blood status. They hate me since I'm what they call a half-blood, which means one parent was a non-magical person and the otherw as a full witch or wizard. My dad was full wizard while my mum was a Muggleborn. Hermione's what we call a Muggleborn witch. She's the only one in her family."

"What about Ron and Ginny?" asked Kimberly.

"We're pureblood wizards but we have more respect toward Muggles." Ron explained. "See, our dad likes anything to do with Muggles. You should see the tool shed in our back garden. It's full of Muggle stuff like batteries. Dad even enchanted an old Ford Anglia to fly once. Of course, that car hasn't been seen for a few years since Harry and I flew it to school."

"I still think that was stupid of you two," Hermione said but her words were ignored. "Thankfully Lucius didn't bring his son Draco with him. We'd have more trouble than before."

"ENOUGH TALKING!" Bellatrix shrieked raising her wand. "It is time for you to die, Potter!" She pointed her wand at Harry and shouted, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" A jet of green light erupted from the tip of her wand and soared through the air at Harry.

Harry ducked the curse and shouted, "STUPEFY!" A jet of green light hit Bellatrix knocking her backward a few feet. "CONFRINGO!" Another spell shot from Harry's wand causing the ground in front of Lucius and the fallen Bellatrix to explode. Lucius raised his arms to his face to block the bits of dirt from hitting him. Lucius and Harry began dueling leaving Bellatrix to fight off Ron, Hermione and Ginny. The six American teens watched from the sidelines until a small group of Putties appeared.

"I think enough is enough, guys," said Jason to his friends. "It's Morphin Time!" Harry and everyone else stopped long enough to watch the six teens take the buckles off their belts and hold them out in front of them.

"Dragonzord!" Tommy called and was instantly transformed into the Green Ranger.

"Mastodon!" Zack called out and was morphed into the Black Ranger.

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Saber-tooth Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!" The six teens were ready for battle. "All right, Death Eaters, it's time you started a new diet!" The Rangers drew their Blade Blasters. "Your first course is a little Blade Blaster power! Let's show them, Rangers!" Zack and Billy locked arms beside him while Kimberly and Trini jumped up and landed on their shoulders. "Blade Blasters up!" The five Rangers pointed their weapons at each other in a circle. "FIRE!" A ball of energy shot from the combined Blade Blasters and blasted the two Death Eaters into the air making them land hard when they fell.

"How dare you!" Lucius snarled. "It's time you met a new friend. Turbanshell!" A hermit crab monster appeared. "Destroy those Power Rangers!"

"Uh, guys," said Ron trembling as the monster stomped toward them with its massive staff in hand, "what do we do?"

"Good question," said Harry. He could feel his body being quickly consumed by fear. "I say we get out of here, now!" Before he or the others could react, the four wizards were engulfed in gold light and lifted into the air. When they landed and the light faded from their bodies, Harry saw they were in a dimly lit circular room that had a blue floor, black walls with tiny lights twinkling. The floor was surrounded by computer consoles and a large narrow tube stood behind the consoles with two bronze pillars with two rings on each pillar that lit up alternating from green to blue simultaneously. "Where are we?"

"WELCOME TO MY COMMAND CENTER," said a loud voice. Harry and the others nearly sreamed when they saw a disembodied head floating in the tube. "MY NAME IS ZORDON. I AM FROM THE DISTANT PLANET OF ELTAR. A WITCH NAMED RITA REPULSA AND I BATTLED FOR A LONG TIME. DURING OUR FINAL BATTLE, RITA OVERPOWERED ME AND TRAPPED ME IN A TIME WARP. THIS TUBE IS MY ONLY WAY OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE PHYSICAL REALM."

"What the bloody hell is going on out there?" Ron practically yelled at Zordon. "First we're attacked by a blue monkey with gold armor and now we're attacked by two Death Eaters and a bloody hermit crab monster!"

"THE MONSTER YOU HAVE JUST FACED IS CALLED TURBANSHELL," said Zordon. "LORD ZEDD CREATED THIS MONSTER TO FINISH OFF TO STEAL THE GREEN RANGER'S POWERS AND HARNESS THAT POWER TO CREATE HIS OWN TEAM OF EVIL POWER RANGERS HE CALLS THE DARK RANGERS."

"Looks like Voldemort must have joined forces with this Zedd bloke," said Harry grimly. "Death Eaters don't normally get assistance from a monster like that. Maybe a giant or two, but not that."

"So, if this Zedd guy is working with Voldemort, how do you expect us to even fight anything like that?" Ginny asked Zordon. "And what was with those kids from earlier? They just turned into spandex wearing superheroes!"

"Jason, Zack, Billy, Kimberly and Trini have been fighting off the forces of evil for a little over a year," said a new voices. The four wizards turned to see a short robot with a saucer-shaped head with red lights for eyes walking toward them. "I am sorry for the interruption. My name is Alpha-5, but you can call me Alpha. You see, Zordon and I recruited those five to protect the planet from Rita Repula and her evil monsters. Goldar, the armored monkey you faced earlier today, was hired by Rita as the leader of her army and is her most powerful warrior. A while later, another warrior of Rita's joined them. Her name is Scorpina."

"What about that Green Ranger?" Harry asked Zordon. "He said his name was Tommy when we first met him before we knew he's a Power Ranger. How did he get his powers?"

"THERE WAS A TIME WHEN RITA WAS VERY DESPERATE TO DESTROY THE POWER RANGERS AND CONQUER EARTH." Zordon explained. "THE REASON RITA AND I FOUGHT TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO WAS BECAUSE SHE STOLE A VERY POWERFUL ARTIFACT: THE DRAGON POWER COIN. WHEN SHE WAS MOST DESPERATE IN HER ENDEAVORS TO CONQUER EARTH, RITA PUT TOMMY UNDER A MIND CONTROL SPELL AND MADE HIM HER EVIL GREEN RANGER. IT TOOK A WHILE, BUT JASON, THE RED RANGER, DESTROYED THE SOURCE OF THE SPELL AND TOMMY JOINED THE TEAM. NOT LONG AFTER, RITA CREATED A GREEN CANDLE MADE OF MAGIC WAX THAT DRAINED THE GREEN RANGER'S POWERS. NOT LONG AGO, THE GREEN CANDLE'S FLAME WENT OUT AND THE POWERS WERE DRAINED COMPLETELY. I HAVE BEEN GIVING POWER TO THE GREEN RANGER FOR A FEW BATTLES BUT I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN LENDING MY POWER TO HIM. IF I DO TOO MUCH AT ONE TIME, I COULD CEASE TO EXIST."

"Blimey!" Ron said sadly. "I'm sorry, mate. What can we do to help?"

"I have just finished something that may work for you." Alpha said holding out a box. He opened the box revealing four wrist mounted devices. The devices were small and circular with a colored crystal in the center. "I saw you four firing spells at the Death Eaters, so I made these to be powered by your magic. I also did a little research on your magic and found that each of you can conjure an animal shape called a Patronus. Is that true?"

"Yes, it is," said Hermione. "Zordon, from what I know of the Power Rangers, they have a fleet of mechanical vehicles called Zords. Would we be getting them as well?"

"YES, HERMIONE, YOU WILL." Zordon said with a proud smile. "EVER SINCE ALPHA DID HIS RESEARCH, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON YOUR ZORDS. FORGIVE MY CURIOSITY, BUT WHAT ANIMALS DO YOUR PATRONUSES ASSUME THE FORM OF?"

"Well," said Harry proudly, "my Patronus is a stag. Hermione's is an otter, Ron's is a Jack Russel Terrier and Ginny's is a horse."

"I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON YOUR SCHOOL YOU CALL HOGWARTS AND LEARNED THAT THE FOUR SCHOOL HOUSES EACH HAVE A CERTAIN ANIMAL TO REPRESENT THAT HOUSE AND A CERTAIN ATTRIBUTE TO THAT HOUSE. WOULD YOU MIND EXPLAINING THEM?" Zordon said.

Hermione opened her mouth and launched into an explanation about each of the four Houses at Hogwarts. "Gryffindor House is represented by a lion which. Gryffindor's attribute is courage or chivalry. Hufflepuff's animal is a badger and it is said that Hufflepuffs are the most loyal. Ravenclaw is an Eagle and its attribute is knowledge and Slytherin's animal is a serpent and their attribute is determination and cunning." She looked up at Zordon with a suspicious look. "Why do you ask?"

"Because," said Alpha, "you'll need to cast your Patronus into those crystals. When you do, the animal your Patronus takes the form of will change into the animal of your Houses. Draw your wands, please, and cast your Patronuses."

Harry and the others drew their wands and, with a great swish of their wands, called out, "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Four balls of silver light shot from their wands and settled into the crystals on the decices.

"Now, use your Summoning Charm on your Morphers." Alpha instructed. Zordon watched instantly as the four wizards pointed their wands at the Morphers and said, "Accio: Morphers!" The four devices flew toward their owners and were strapped to their wrists.

"WHEN I SAY YOUR NAME, STEP FORWARD TO RECEIVE YOUR POWERS." Zordon instructed. "HARRY, COME FORARD." Harry stepped forward and looked up at Zordon. "COURAGEOUS AND A VALIANT LEADER, YOU ARE THE RED LION SPIRIT RANGER. YOU ARE SWIFT AND STRONG." Harry looked at his wrist and saw the red crystal flash red. "HERMIONE, PLEASE STEP FORWARD." Hermione stepped up and, like Harry, looked up at Zordon curiously. "INTELLIGENT AND GRACEFUL, YOU ARE THE BLUE EAGLE SPIRIT RANGER. RONALD, STEP FORWARD." Ron joined the other two nervously. "LOYAL TO YOUR FRIENDS AND PROTECTIVE OF YOUR FAMILY, YOU ARE THE YELLOW BADGER SPIRIT RANGER. GINNY, YOU ARE NEXT." Ginny stepped forward, but did not look happy. "WHAT IS WRONG, GINEVRA?"

"I know what House is next, Zordon," she said bitterly. "Slytherin. Besides the determination and cunning part of them, at Hogwarts, Slytherin House has sprouted some of the most evil wizards and witches in history and one of them is Lord Voldemort. Did this crystal choose me because I could turn evil or something?"

"NO, GINNY, THE GREEN CRYSTAL CHOSE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY DETERMINED AND CUNNING WHEN YOU NEED TO BE. FOR THOSE REASONS, YOU ARE THE GREEN BASILISK RANGER." With a satisfied grin, Ginny nodded at him. "NOW, SPIRIT FORCE RANGERS, OBSERVE THE VIEWING GLOBE BEHIND YOU AND SEE YOUR ZORDS."

"Whoa!" Ron gasped when he saw the giant mechanical animals running, flying and slithering around on the Viewing Globe. "Those are amazing!"

"Yes, each of your Spirit Zords are powerful fighting machines individually, but when combined, they become a more powerful machine known as the Spirit Force Megazord." Alpha explained. The new Rangers watched as their new Zords combined to form a human-shaped machine wielding a sword. "Remember, the Megazord will only work effectively if you work as a team." The alarms blared and the new Rangers watched the images on the Viewing Globe change to a video footage of the Mighty Morphin Rangers geting defeated by Lucius and Bellatrix while Tommy fought the Turbanshell monster. "It is time fo you Rangers to help your new friends. Go and may the Power protect you."

"Right," said Harry looking at his friends. "Let's go!" Alpha pressed a few buttons on a computer panel and the four new Rangers were teleported to the fight. When they landed, Harry, with his wand drawn, shot a Stunning Spell at Lucius who was constantly firing curses and spells at the Pink Ranger. "HEY!" Harry shouted making the Death Eaters look at him. "Try picking on someone who can fight back, Lucius!" He nodded at his friends and said, "It's Morphin Time!" Harry and the other three raised their left arms up and pressed their right fingers on the crystals. "Spirit Powers, activate!" There was a blinding flash of light and, in the wizards' place stood four Power Rangers. Each costume had the same white gloves and boots but the belt was a gold color with a holster for the Rangers' wands and the helmets resembled animals like a lion, badger, eagle and snake. "Power Rangers Spirit Force!"

"Whoa!" Tommy said stopping his fight with the Death Eaters and Putties. "That's amazing!"

"Yeah!" Kimberly said staring at the new Rangers in front of them. "Glad they're on our side." Trini, Billy and Zack nodded. "Go, get'em, guys!"

Harry nodded at his team and said, "All right, let's show these Death Eaters what we can do." The other Rangers nodded in approval of his orders and the four Spirit Force Rangers gripped their wands which instantly transformed into swords. "Now!" The four Rangers leapt into action fighting the Turbanshell monster, the Putties and the Death Eaters all in one shot. "Red Spirit Saber, full power!" The silver blade of his sword glowed red with energy as he ran at the Turbanshell monster. "Lion Blaze Strike!" The energized blade erupted in red fire which sliced the monster's shell but the attack only left a small scorch mark on the point of impact. "Okay, this is a little stronger than I thought."

"Yeah," said Ron panting slightly as he held his chest from a very nasty curse Bellatrix hit him with. Luckily his protected his body from the more damaging effects of the curse, but he still felt the pain. "Any ideas, fearless leader?"

Harry thought for a moment and then said, "If we can't defeat them individually, then we may be able to hit them all with a combined attack."

"Sounds like a plan," said Hermione, "but what spell should we use? There's not much that we can do."

"Since the Death Eaters are basically dark wizards," said Harry, "I think we should shed some light on them. Mass Patronus."

Ginny, who was glaring at the evildoers in front of them whipped her masked face to his own in surprise. "Are you thick?" she said in frustration. "The Patronuses only work on Dementors, not Death Eaters!"

"It's the only thing I can think of unless you have a better idea." Harry shrugged.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do have a better idea." Ginny said sweetly. When the youngest and only girl of the Weasley children spoke in this way, your best bet would be to run fast, Harry knew. "Do you remember the effect my Reductor Curse had before we got here? In the Hall of Prophecy?"

Harry nodded. "It blew up almost all of the prophecies in that room, if I remember correctly." She gave him a nod. "All right, let's do it, then. Just aim at the ground. We don't want to kill the Death Eaters just yet." The four Rangers formed a circle with their waands pointed in the middle of the circle. The four Rangers shouted, "REDUCTO!" and a large orb of gold energy formed in the circle. "FIRE!" The Spirit Force Rangers thrust their wands toward their enemies and the gold orb slammed at the ground causing the Death Eaters to fall backward a few feet and the Putties that were with them disintegrated into nothing. "Blimey, that was intense." Harry said admiring their work with a grin.

"You may have bested us, Potter," Lucius Malfoy snarled as he and Bellatrix stood up, "but you have not won the war! We will be back. Turbanshell, do what you have to do."

"Right!" said the monster raising its staff. "Your coming with me, Green Ranger!" At first, Harry thought the monster meant Ginny, who was his team's Green Ranger, but he soon found that the monster meant Tommy. The monster fired a beam of energy at Tommy and it and him vanished in a beam of light.

"Great!" Harry groaned. "The Mighty Morphin' team is one Ranger down and the monster is gone with him. Who knows what's happening next."

"I think we should head to that Command Center place," said Ron. "Maybe Zordon might have an answer as to what is going on." The four Spirit Force Rangers twisted on the spot and Apparated from the scene leaving the original Power Rangers wondering what happened to their own teammate.

Meanwhile, in an alternate reality...

A teenaged girl with a pale complexion, emerald green eyes that were behind square wire-rimmed glasses and wild dark red hair wearing black robes walked into the Death Room at the Ministry of Magic. The girl sighed as she looked around the room. The entire Wizengamot, or the Wizard High Court, was watching from the stands and the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was watching her with a very cold look. "Now that the accused is here, we can begin," he said coldly to the room at large and then looked at the girl in question. "You are charged with the murder of Sirius Black on the date of June twenty-second at precisely nine-thirty that evening. How do you plead?"

"Not guilty, Minister," said the girl nervously. When the Minister didn't speak, she told everyone what had happened, watching it play in her mind as she told the story. "I was put under the Imperius Curse by Bellatrix Lestrange. She ordered me to murder Black. I didn't want to and I know I could have fought harder against the curse, but it was too powerful. If anyone is to blame for the death of Sirius Black, it's Bellatrix Lestrange." She opened her mouth to say more, but it was now that Fudge interrupted her.

"I'm sorry to interrupt what must have been a very well-rehearsed story, my dear, but the evidence that we received specifically shows that you killed him using the Killing Curse." Fudge said. "Normally this felony would land you a life sentence in Azkaban, but..."

"SO YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO WILLINGLY?" the girl shouted angrily. "HOW DARE YOU! YOU AND YOUR PATHETIC MINISTRY HAVE BEEN GOING AFTER ME AND MY BROTHER SINCE HE TOLD THE ENTIRE WIZARD COMMUNITY THAT THE DARK LORD HAS RETURNED AND YOU ONLY TRULY BELIEVED HIM TWO NIGHTS AGO WHEN YOU SAW THE DARK LORD IN FRONT OF YOU! GO AHEAD, THEN! KILL ME!" She looked to her right and saw her adopted father, Severus Snape, looking quite sad. "Sev..."

Snape looked up to the Minister and said loud enough for the entire room to hear him, "I, Severus Snape, have taught my daughter many things, Minister, but never to kill. My daughter never kills out of anger like the Death Eaters do, but she, like her brother, sometimes has problems fighting off some curses such as the Imperius Curse. You cannot just execute her!"

"We can and we will, Severus," said Fudge angrily. "I think it better that this girl dies here and now instead of having the Dark Lord do it himself. Now, let's get on with it. Walk through the archway." The girl sighed and moved foward toward the archway and stopped before the veil. "Goodbye, Rose Potter."

"Go boil your head!" Rose snapped as she walked through the archway. The moment she stepped through, she saw nothing but white light and then nothing at all.
