Heading back to our space ship, each of us dwelled on our own thoughts about the recent events and my father. Father, I wondered how he was doing. Did they kill him or are they torturing him as we speak? Nevertheless, I will rescue him.

In the ship, I carefully locked up the five turbo morphers, which were owned by the late robot rangers. They didn't stand a chance against a combined army. Now to think of it, how can we fight an army no armies. We needed more rangers which is why we are heading for earth to round up former rangers.

Jason took the controls sensing that I needed to spend time alone. The former ranger leader and now gold ranger had also felt sad about the loss of his mentor, Zordon. My father had been a second father to the ranger, but I was his biological son, and I had known him longer. The gold ranger insisted that I not pilot for the next couple of days. Rocky also agreed. I gave in knowing that they had my best interest at heart.

After we took off, I headed toward the simulation room. I needed to dispose my excess anger. At first I felt guilty for not being there to defend him. Next I felt depressed that he was gone and who knows what happened to him. Then I felt extremely furious at whoever took my father. Lastly I felt hopeless. I couldn't do anything now. Sure I could look for them, but I will be overwhelmed. We needed more rangers and allies. Right now I needed to get my mind off of my father.

Selecting a battle zone, I morphed afterwards. I had purposely chosen the hardest one in my database. At this moment, I wanted to vent my feelings before I exploded, literally. A few minutes was required for this simulation to start.

The environment was a wrecked command center (not Zordon's one on earth). Large portions of the walls have been either blown away, ripped apart, torn, or melted. Wires dangled from the ceiling, preventing anyone from swiftly departing. Sparks flew in every direction possible, also making it hard for safe passage. Consoles had been ripped from their anchors and thrown against the walls or their enemies. Large debris cluttered the floor making them perfect places to set up an ambush. The building consisted of five levels, each one hard to navigate. My mission was to recover the data before my enemies did and also not get killed in the process.

I peered through the front door, well whatever was left of the front door. No signs of activities. I quickly entered the room and hid behind an overturned desk. Pausing for a moment, I listened for enemy movement. Breathing in front of me, told me that someone was heading my direction. Their footsteps grew louder and louder. I held my position until it was nearly on top of me. In one motion, I reached up and broke his power supply.

Looking once again to the back of the room, I searched for his comrades. He must have been a lone warrior. Then I proceeded to the back of the room. Since debris littered the floor, I had to move very cautiously as not to trip. Once I had nearly stumbled on something, but luckily I had perfect balance. Being an elf sure does have its advantages.

Surprisingly the door remained in tact. I guess they had slipped in once they had blown up the front doors, but who knew what was going through their mind. I placed my ear against the door listening for sounds when something tapped my shoulder.

Holding back a yell, I turned to face the intruder. The green ranger waved to me. "What are you doing here?" I whispered to him.

"Jason had everything under control so I decided to wander around," Rocky answered my question. "I was bored."

"Typical," I teased him.

"Hey," Rocky said a little bit annoyed. "What's the mission?"

"The mission is to recover data before our enemies do and not be killed before accomplishing our objective," I answered while looking around for targets.

"Is that all?" Rocky asked. "This is going to be easy."

"Do you really think so?" I asked him. The green ranger nodded his head. "Wait and see. This isn't called the hardest simulation for nothing."

I opened the door very slowly. Poking my head through, the rest of my body followed when there was no one in sight. Rocky soon followed me. We stood there waiting to see if anyone was heading our way. Satisfied no one was. We headed towards the stair case.

Rocky had reached it before I did. Guess he needed to release his energy more than I did. Maybe it had something to do with Zordon's disappearance or this simulation reminded him of the attack.

He opened the door before I could prevent him. The former blue ranger had crawled into the stair case room and was hiding underneath the lowest stair. I peered up looking for any enemies. Seeing none, I joined him.

"You should have waited," I whispered to him.

"I know," Rocky sighed.

"It's Zordon, isn't it?"

"Yes," Rocky admitted. "When I was out of commission, I missed him, but at least I knew he was safe. Now I'm completely worried out of my mind."

"I understand," I said trying to comfort him.

Suddenly a black monster landed right in front of us. It abruptly turned to face us. Wielding a hammer over his head, he charged right at us. We had barely jumped out of his way when he sent it crashing into the ground.

"So much for a stealth operation, huh?" Rocky called as he dodged another attack.

"Sure," I replied while jumping over a low sweep. I landed on the first platform and jumped at the creature's head. However, it had moved out of the way so I was forced to retreat a step in order to avoid being stomped on.

Rocky noticing it was distracted, launched an attack. His two daggers aimed for the monster's midsection. Swinging both his weapons, the green ranger struck one in its shoulder and the other one in its upper thigh. The monster howled with pain.

Balancing myself, I aimed a blow at his neck hoping to end this quickly. The monster jerked his body with pain and my sword struck its other shoulder. It retreated a step as I injured it.

"Keep it up," I called to Rocky. The monster had regained its sense of direction and sent its hammer in my direction. Ducking down, I avoided being beheaded. I like my head where it is, thank you very much.

Rocky had tried to come from it at a different angle, but it kept the green ranger at bay. Since his weapons were made for close range combat, he had to hold his position on the outer edge.

This was going to take awhile. We don't have much time. Calling up my other sword, I combined it with my first one. The two handles connecting at the end creating a long staff. Holding it in the middle, I swung it in an arc towards the creature. It had dodged my first blow, but it wasn't expecting my second one to come quickly. True to my aim, I had slashed its midsection causing its armor to be cut into two and a scar formed on its chest.

Off balanced, the creature staggered towards the stairs. Rocky immediately took this opportunity and pounced on the creature knocking its weapon from its hand. He then proceeded to furiously slash it with his daggers.

Placing my hand my hand on his shoulder, I told him it was dead. The green ranger just looked at me. I could feel his sorrow.

"Sorry," he muttered. "I couldn't stop."

"I understand," I assured the pain filled ranger. He was obviously frustrated about Zordon's capture. "I feel the same way, but we have to control our emotions. Otherwise what help would we be to Zordon."

"None," Rocky sighed. He stood up from where the creature laid unmoving.

"My father, Zordon has meant a lot to me," I spoke up after a moment of silence.

"He means a lot to us rangers," Rocky added. "He had been my mentor ever since I joined and left. He has helped us through tough times and was there ready to listen to our problems. I just wish we could be there when he needed us."

Finishing up the simulation, Rocky and I retrieved the data just in time, though the green ranger had taken a wound, not real of course. The next few days had been very uneventful. We had taken turns piloting the ship. Of course, my turn ended up being the very last. Ever since the incident, all three of us had grown closer. We talked to each other about our deepest fears, not finding Zordon being one, shared our feelings about the mission or friends, and our happiest or not so happy moments in life.

We reminisced about my father. I had told them stories about when Zordon and I created the morphers. They both laughed at the weird adventures I had with my father.

Arriving on earth, we set out to find the two former rangers. Jason told me that Tommy had taken up racing so it shouldn't be hard to find him. Adam on the other hand was harder to find. Neither Rocky nor Jason knew what job he had taken since they left the ranger team.

At a local coffee shop, we ordered three beverages and sat down at one of the tables. Jason had picked up a newspaper and started to read the sports section. Perhaps Tommy may have been mentioned in it. There was no telling. Rocky took the comic section. I guess he needed a few laughs. We all do.

"Did you find anything?" I asked the gold ranger.

"No," Jason answered not taking his eyes off the paper. Then his eyes widened with excitement. "There's a major race in town today."

"Oh really?" I asked. I tried to look at the story, but it was covered by the shadows.

Rocky looked up from his comics. "Tommy's bound to be there."

"Then we should be heading there," Jason said. He folded the paper and stood up when he noticed a familiar figure approaching the counter. "Do you think its him?"

Both of us looked in that direction. "I can't tell," Rocky replied. "He's too far away."

The three of us decided to see whether or not this was the former red ranger. We walked with stealth towards this person. An instant of recognition passed through my two companions as we neared the person.

Jason placed his finger over his mouth signaling for quiet. He then slowly approached the unaware former red ranger. Being careful not to make his presence known, he stifled the laugh that was threatening his surprise. "Hiya bro," Jason greeted his best friend enthusiastically.

I could have sworn Tommy jumped ten feet, well at least one. He whirled around to only to face his best friend and the former gold ranger, when he held onto Trey's powers. "Jason, what are you doing here scaring me half to death?"

Rocky busted out laughing. The other customers stared at this weird strangers.

"Hey we wanted to know if you can join us," Jason answered between fits of laughter. "You should have seen your face. It was priceless."

Tommy gave his friend a weird look before joining in. "Join you for what?"

"An old trade," Jason implied.

The former ranger appeared confused before realization dawned on him. "Sure." He looked over to where Rocky and I stood. "Hey Rocky's here and who is that new guy?"

"That's Lucaz, Zordon's son," Jason answered.

"Say what?!?" Tommy gasped. "No way!"

"Yes," Jason said to the unbelieving ranger as I walked up to him.

"My father has been kidnapped and we need your help," I informed Tommy.

"Then we have to do something about it," Tommy said with confidence.

"We are gathering friends," Rocky said from behind me.

"We should talk somewhere private," I warned them. "Who knows, there could be spies as we speak."

"Sure," Tommy agreed. "But first, I would like to get my coffee."

Waiting a for some time, Tommy finally received his order and we left for our space ship. We explained what happened and why we needed former rangers.

"So Zordon and Alpha created robot ranger to help defend the planet?" Tommy said after hearing our story.

"Yes," I answered. "Unfortunately, they were overwhelmed by the enormous force of the combined armies. We arrived there too late to save him."

"What about the robot rangers?"

"They were destroyed; however, we recovered their morphers," Jason informed him.

"And I thought my ranger days were over," Tommy said. "Guess I was wrong. Not that I don't like being a ranger, I missed all you guys."

"Same here," Rocky agreed. "We had some exciting adventures together."

"Remember the first time we met Zordon," Jason recalled.

"I started off on the wrong foot," Tommy laughed. Looking back, he finally could laugh about that ordeal.

"Will you be the Red Turbo Ranger and lead them into battle?" I asked returning the conversation to our primary objective at the moment.

"Oh yes, of course I will," Tommy said hastily. "Zordon was a second father to me."

I handed over the red turbo morpher. He strapped it on in an instant. "Jason, why don't you show Tommy around."

"I could wander around," Tommy said not wanting to be a burden.

"No problem," Jason assured him.

"Wait until you see the simulation room," Rocky chirped. "I wish we had it in the power chamber. You should see the graphics."

"Looks like you're getting two guides," I teased the newest ranger.

"I don't mind," Tommy laughed. "The more the merrier as they always say."

The three rangers left the bridge heading towards the other decks. As they left, I wished I had friends like that.

One down, four to go.

Wingzero: Finally finished. Sorry if this took awhile, I needed ideas and votes.

Tommy: Yay, I'm finally in one.

Adam: When am I going to be in it, you promised.

Wingzero: You're the next ranger to be recruited.

Adam: *smiles*

Kimberly: What about us?

Death Scythe: What about you?

Justin: When are we going to be in your fic?

Wingzero: Well the polls aren't closed yet.

Billy: Affirmative, we require more votes in order to obtain a more accurate decision.

Rangers: Sure.

Wingzero: Well anyways. We'll also be having relationships throughout the series. Of course the obvious being: Andros/Ashley, Phantom/Cassie, Zhane/Karone. You still can vote on who Tommy dates. Also you can chose who Jason or Rocky date if you want them to hook up. And as always for blue ranger: Billy or Justin. For pink ranger: Kimberly or Kat. For yellow ranger: Trini, Aisha, or Tanya. Should Phantom Ranger reveal himself to Cassie? Also I could use suggestions on a name for him.

Zack: Now that the red turbo ranger spot has been filled, and the green one next, who will make up the rest of the rangers? How will they find Adam? Who will Tommy decided to date? Where is Zordon? By voting, you will help this fic to be updated quicker. Thank you.
