Disclaimer- The characters from Sailor Moon and Power Rangers are owned by their respective companies, and the character Cassandra Fisher is modeled after the author of the same name here with her permission. I lay no claim to owning them.

Author's Note- The Ultimate Change continues with this tale involving Cassandra Fisher, a new Transfer Student to Angel Grove High. This takes place in Power Rangers ZEO after the introduction of the Gold Zeo Ranger.
I'm also changing the PRZ storyline to indicate that Trey didn't crash on Aquitar, and therefore didn't split into his 3 selves. So Jason will not be replacing him.

Deep Freezing Machina
By Dale Speer Jr.

Cassandra Fisher was just getting used to AngelGrove High School on her first day. Just recently moved here from Seattle Washington, Cassandra was a person who experienced a great deal of trouble in her previous home- bullies who wanted her to bow to their every whim, parents who were overpowering. It was enough to make her go crazy.
And if that wasn't enough, she was having weird dreams back home- being trapped in a big walk in freezer with a black haired AGHS Senior, changing her form to that of someone she only sees on television, and hitting a monster with bubbles that could freeze her solid. She was scared half out of her wits when she came here. And at age 17, she was a Junior in HighSchool as well. She was also Emancipated from her parents abusing her. That's better than being stuck at home with them.
She was staying with an uncle until the home she recently purchased was moved out from. She had a large inheritance of over 10 million dollars, left her by dead family in a secure trust fund until she was able to leave her parents. So her attorney notified her that with emancipation, she was granted access to the funds. First thing she did was set up a home. She couldn't stay with her uncle forever.

She was sitting alone at a table during lunch when a young man walked up and asked, "Could I sit with you, please?" "Of course," she replied and waved a hand to any of the chairs there. When she looked up, she finally got her first glimse of the man. He looked like a young version of Kaine, the character from the series Kung Fu, but his straight hair was black instead of Kaine's blonde. "He's cute," she thought, "I could get used to being around him. I wonder what his friends are like?" "My name is Adam," he said, "What's your's?" "My name's Cassandra," she replied to him.
"So where did you live before coming to Angel Grove?" Adam asked her. So she told him of her life in Seattle, including getting bullied and her parents being so overpowering.
"So the Superior Courts granted you Emancipation?" he asked. "They did, and since I had over 10 million dollars tucked away in a Secure TrustFund, I could live comfortably," she replied to him.

"I don't know if you want to visit with my friends and me," Adam told her. "Well, this is my first day here," she told him, "And I would like to have some friends." So she gathered her stuff and walked over with him to meet the gang.
So he introduced his friends to her, then introduced her to them. "It's great to have you with us," Tommy said. "Yeah, you're going to like it here," Trini added. "Except when monsters attack," Rocky said. "Why is that so?" she asked them.
So all of them contributed to the story, and of how the Power Rangers and Sailor Scouts saved them and the city. "So the city's protected from danger," Cassandra commented, "That's great. Man, would I like to be one of them- especially one of the Sailor Scouts." She didn't know how close she had come to revealing her dream to them.
For she was about to find out her destiny- and in a most unpleasant way.

Queen Machina stood on the observation deck of the palace they established on the moon, thinking of what's happened in the past. She saw Adam getting friendly with the young girl, and suddenly schemed of a way to lessen the Zeo Rangers by one member- and then attack the rest. She called in Klank, the MajorDomo of their army.
"We have one remaining IceMonster, as well as some of our others," he replied. "Do we have any other FireMonsters?" she asked. "Only 2- Incinerador and Magmatron," he replied, "Incinerador will fry his enemies to a crisp while Magmatron manipulates a planet's MagmaLines, allowing him to create rivers of molten rock on the surface."
"Prepare Incinerador for attack," she ordered, "but first have the Cogs snatch up Adam and his friend and bring them to the school's kitchen, locking them in the Walk-In Freezer and then setting it to Deep Freeze them." Klank then went to follow his queen's orders.

Adam and Cassandra were walking to his home to grab his jeep when they were knocked on their heads without them looking. Once he came to, they were locked in a freezer- and from the looks of it, the shelves in it were dripping with frozen ice.
He was looking for his wrist communicator but couldn't find it. "It must be outside the freezer," he thought, "That means that it was Machina who attacked us. I have to find a way to get me and Cassandra out of here." It was then that he saw his companion- and he saw her in a different light.
He tried to get them out using every possible method, but to no avail. Once he saw what was happening to Cassandra, he gasped.
Her short blonde hair was turning- of all colors- blue. Her skin was lightening and her body was changing shape into a girl in the same type of uniform that the others were found in- only this time, it was in the colors of a Public Jr. High School. "If I don't get us out of here and fast," he thought, "we're going to freeze to death."

The alarms went off in the Power Chamber as Alpha-5 was scurrying around, looking for the threat. "Zordon, Incinerador is burning up Angel Grove," he told his master. "Summon the Rangers right away," he ordered the robotic servant.
When only 6 Teleport Signatures- Tommy, Billy, Rocky, Tanya, Kat and Trey- came in, Zordon knew one of them was in danger. "Rangers," he addressed them, "Incinerador is putting Angel Grove on fire. His flames are like from the underworld. I know you are one Ranger short- and we will find Adam. But you must stop him." Morphing to their BattleArmors, the partial team of Rangers went into battle.
Zordon had a plan to find Adam in the quickest way possible. So he outlined it to Alpha-5.

Machina was watching everything on her viewscreen- Adam and Cassandra freezing to death, and the 5 Rangers battling Incinerador- with Zoicite. "This is one of your best plans yet, Machina," Dark Specter's servant told the Machine Queen.
But it was ruined when they turned off the one of Adam and Cassandra- for it was then that Trini Kwan teleported in and attempted to bust the lock on the freezer. When the alarm sounded, the 2 evildoers turned their heads back to that one scene- and saw what was happening. "Send in a Squad of Cogs to the School Kitchen, immediately!" Machina told her MajorDomo- and he did as commanded.
"I have faith in your Cogs defeating the Powerless Ranger," Zoicite reassured her robotic friend, "Let's go back to watching the others." Their assurance of victory, however, was lessened with the presences of 2 girls- Sailors Jupiter and Venus.

Trini was doing the best she could to fight off the emotionless Cogs- and Raye was feeling it. "Raye, I have a feeling these guys will not give up Adam so quickly," she told her silent partner. "You're right, Trini," she replied, "So what do we do in a time like this?" Trini caught on to her quickly- and as she became her Other Self, her StarWand appeared in her hand. From the words "Mars Star Power!"- Trini and Raye were gone, replaced by Sailor Mars.
Using a DemonProtection Scroll multiplied by her power, all of the soldiers were downed. Then, the lock on the door was shattered using the Mars FireSword. Getting Adam's communicator on him, she teleported him to his home, then she picked up Cassandra- by now changed into Ami Mizuno- and teleported her to his side.

Saying the words, "Oh Sacred Fire, I call upon you to aid us and heal our injuries," Sailor Mars quickly healed the 2 of any Hypothermia they could have suffered. When Adam came around, he saw what had happened to Cassandra and gasped.
When she finally came around a half hour later, she wondered why Adam looked so despondent. He pointed to the hall mirror- and what she saw shocked her. By this time, Sailor Mars had gone to the battle.
And that was when a voice from within her said, "Finally, I'm back and feeling better than ever!" Adam called out, "Who said that?" And Ami was surprised when she heard the Green Ranger's voice. She replied, "So you must have been in the same predicament as Cassandra was. That means you can also hear my voice."
So the 3 of them- 2 housed in one body- sat down and talked about her past as the Princess of Mercury. But then Adam got called away to the battle in Downtown- and Cassandra and Ami caught the news of the attack.

The Rangers and the 3 Sailor Scouts were getting pounded when Adam arrived. He sent Incinerador flying with his Zeo4 Power Punch attack.
And at his home, Cassandra watched- and worried about her new friend. Now that she knew Adam was the Green ZeoRanger, she wanted to be able to protect him- and she voiced that concern to Ami. In response, Ami took control of her body and walked her outside in the back yard where there was a pile of bricks over 20 high.
She walked over, leaped up above the first brick, and smashed right through all of them. When Cassandra looked at her hand, there should have been scrapes and cuts because of the bricks- but there was none.
"We Princesses of the Silver Millenium were much stronger in this form," Ami told her, "and in our other form." "Other form?" she asked.
A blue and gold wand then appeared in Cassandra's hand. The top was a golden star with a filled circle of blue- and inside of it was a heart with a V in the top of it and a Plus Sign attached at the bottom- the symbol of Mercury. "Once you become a Sailor Scout," Ami told her, "you will never want to be a Power Ranger." "Sailor Scout?" Cassandra asked. "Hold the wand up and say, Mercury Star Power," Ami told her. When Cassandra said those 3 Magical Words- she started to change into an extraordinary warrior.
Her body became transparent energy as she did an intricate RibbonDancing routine, forming her uniform. When power flashed over her- Ami Mizuno was gone, and so was Cassandra Fisher.
Cassandra saw that she had transformed into one of the Sailor Scouts she saw on television- and she was surprised. But when asked if she knew her destiny she said, "I do now- now let's help the others."

The others were feeling the burn that Incinerador was doing to them. Not even the powers of the Scouts were having much effort against the FireBreathing menace. When Sailor Mercury showed up, she saw that the others were getting burned- literally. And she saw enough.
A drop of water fell into a pool of power- as she called out, "SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!" she put the monster into a block of ice. And when the fire stopped- they saw the blue-clad Sailor Scout walking toward them. Raye, Mina and Lita were surprised when they saw their friend Ami walking to them.
"You burn my friends and the defenders of this fair city," she told him chillingly, "That is uncalled for- and will not happen here, not on the watch of the Guardian of Mercury. I AM SAILOR MERCURY!" With the way this defender put her RobotMonster on Ice, Machina couldn't stand the suffering anymore. Klank and Orbus was already there.
Orbus used a Green WideBeam to get Incinerador out of his prison & make him grow to giant-sized terror. But the Rangers took it one step ahead of them, calling for the Zeo Ultrazord and the Scouts took it a step as well- "By the Power & Force of Love, Thunder, Ice & Fire, MAKE US GROW!"
The Scouts and the Megazord were cleaning up the monster with their moves. Then Sailor Mercury decided to obscure his vision- with her MERCURY BUBBLES- BLAST! attack. With his field of vision clouded, Mars and the Ultrazord made their moves- the Mars FireSword Slash and the MegaFirepower of the UltraZord made their enemy go up in fireworks. All 10 of them teleported back to the Power Chamber.

Machina and Zoicite made their report to Dark Specter- 4 Sailor Scouts had already been found. He told them to depart him- then called in Metallia.
"Then the Scouts are one away from being able to eliminate the Dark Kingdom, my brother," she told him after he told the story. "How are they able to eliminate your kingdom, my Dark Sister Metallia?" he asked her.
"When we destroyed the Moon Kingdom," she told him, "we set into motion a chain of events that signalled the end of your United Alliance of Evil and the Dark Kingdom. But I didn't even know this until I read about it from the Moon Kingdom's archives- the Imperium Silver Crystal & the CrescentMoon Wand were the symbols of the Moon Kingdom. But only one was truly destined to use their ultimate power to defeat me- and now she is near to coming forth, as well as her fiancé."
"Then we have to keep her from coming to destroy us," he finished for them.

Inside the Power Chamber, all of them got to meet Ami Mizuno- and after the quick lesson in learning how to become her Original Form, they met her Real Side, Cassandra Fisher. "Now I'm glad to know I'm part of a team that really needs me," she told them all. "As we are glad to have you with us, Cassandra Fisher and Ami Mizuno," Zordon told them both.
As always, a Communicator was presented to the New Sailor Scout, should she ever need to be called upon to assist the Rangers. "Like these 3 have said before," she told them, "If you ever need me, I'm here."

And already, dreams started surfacing in the minds of Kimberly Hart & Jason Lee Scott- dreams of long ago, when they were Power Rangers. And of a different time.....
