Disclaimer: As usual, I don't own the Power Rangers. I do own Alex,
Corinne, and the story.
AN: This chapter should help explain more about Alex and his stone. It will also explain Billy's vision somewhat. As usual, read and review. It lets me know what y'all think about my story. Also, "these are spoken" and these are thoughts
Chapter 6
"Hello?" the woman answering the phone sounded tired.
"Hi, Mrs. Warren. This is Billy." I hope she remembers me.
"Billy? Oh, it's great to hear you. Alex told me you would call. Hold on and I will go get him." She put the phone down and called for Alex. "Alex, Billy is on the phone."
"Ok, I got it." He was surprised at how quickly Billy had called. Must not have taken as long as he thought it would.
"Alex, are you ready to meet Zordon?" Billy smiled as he remembered the day he first met Zordon.
"Um, sure. Let me tell my mom and I will meet you at Ernie's in 30 minutes." He hoped his mom would trust him with Billy. Billy knows what he is doing when it comes to the rangers. She should understand.
"Ok, but don't tell her about Zordon. Nobody knows about him except for the rangers." Billy was worried that Alex may accidentally let it slip that he knew who the rangers were.
"Actually she already knows Billy. She was there when Zorean told me about Zordon. Don't worry, she won't tell your secret." He heard Billy sigh with relief.
"That's good. Well, I should get going if I am going to meet you at Ernie's in 30 minutes. I have to grab a few things first." Billy looked at his photo of Trini. And I want to show you the girl I love.
"Ok, I will see you in thirty." Alex hung up the phone. "Mom, I am going with Billy to meet Zordon."
"Ok, but I want to know if you will be there later than 10. I trust Billy so as long as I know you are with him, then you can stay there as long as you need to." She smiled as she remembered Zorean's faith in Zordon. I trust Zordon too if both Billy and Zorean trust him.
Billy gathered his photo of Trini, a small box, and some papers about his vision on Phaedos to take to Zordon. I hope this all means what I think it means. He headed out the door and walked to Ernie's. Kim should be there with Corinne but will probably be leaving. Too bad she couldn't join us.
Alex walked up to the Juice Bar. Billy should be here somewhere. He saw Billy standing next to the door and ran over to him. "Hey, looks like you just got here too."
Billy smiled. "Yeah, I was just wondering if I should go in and see if Kim already saw her friend."
"Kim's here? How do you know?" Alex looked around but didn't see her anywhere.
Billy laughed. "That white grand prix with the pink stripes is her car." He pointed to the car they were standing next to. The pink monogrammed seat covers told them whose car it was.
Alex laughed. "I take it she still loves pink?"
"Yeah, and to tell you the truth, she was the pink ranger." Billy looked around and saw that nobody was around and led Alex to some tall bushes. "So, you ready to go? We can hide behind these bushes to teleport. You will feel a little weak in the legs when we get there but it goes away after a few seconds."
Alex laughed. "Bushes? Ok, I guess I am ready." He suddenly remembered something from a movie. "Hey, Billy."
Billy turned to him once they were hidden from everyone. "Yeah?"
Alex laughed. "Take me to your leader." He saw Billy smile as he hit a button on his communicator. Suddenly he was enveloped in a white light and felt himself flying through the air. Next thing he knew, he was in a big room. "Where are we?"
Billy laughed as Alex suddenly grabbed his arm to keep from falling. "Welcome to the Command Center. This is Alpha and that is Zordon." He pointed out the human sized robot and floating head as he said their names.
"Welcome Alexander. Zorean told me you were coming. Alpha and I have some good news for you about your stone." Zordon held back a smile as the robot moving toward him startled Alex.
Billy smiled as Alex stared at the robot moving towards Zordon. "Zordon, did you find out anything about the object I found?" He walked over to the silver cylinder he found that weekend.
Alpha had moved the cylinder to the consoles in the center of the room. "Aiy yi yi! Billy, something is happening!" The cylinder began to glow a cloudy silver color as Alex stepped towards it to get a better look.
Billy had an idea. "Alex, do you have your stone with you?"
Alex stopped walking towards the cylinder. "Yeah, I was told to always keep it with me. Why?" He took his stone out of his pocket and noticed it glowing the same color as the cylinder. "Wow, look at that!" He suddenly felt a wave of warmth wash over him.
Billy smiled. I knew it would happen! "Alex, I need you to place your stone on top of the cylinder. I think your stone is the key to open it."
Alex did as Billy said and was shocked to see the cylinder open. "How did you know that would happen?" He saw five similar stones in the cylinder, each a different color. "Look, there are five more stones!"
Billy walked over to Alex and the cylinder. "I had a vision on Phaedos that had a man, the cylinder, and the stone in it. It has something to do with a power on Phaedos. I have to talk to the Aquitian Elder about it."
Zordon looked at the young genius. "Billy, you are correct. These stones are the keys to a power like the ninjetti powers. They are linked to the animal spirits of their beholders. That is all I know but the Aquitian Elder will tell you everything about them when you arrive."
Suddenly, Billy felt his picture slip out of his hand and fall next to the cylinder. The cylinder began to glow again but in a cloudy yellow color. Everyone turned to look at the new light as it grew to encompass one of the stones with the image of a tiger.
Billy was stunned. It couldn't be! "Zordon, does this mean what I think it does?" He looked to his mentor.
Zordon saw the picture and smiled. "I am not sure Billy. I believe so but you will have to ask the Elder when you arrive."
Alex looked at the picture. "Is that Trini?" He looked at Billy and saw him smiling. I take that as a yes.
Billy picked up the picture and stuck it in his pocket. "Yeah, she was the yellow ranger."
Alpha looked at the stones and noticed that one of them was glowing with a strong blue aura. "Billy, there is another stone glowing. It has a wolf's image on it."
Billy turned and glared at the stone. A wolf? But that's my animal! He reached in and picked it up. Before he could say anything, he felt a surge of warmth flow through his body. "Zordon, would it be alright if I took the rest of these stones with me to Aquitar? I could have the Elder look at them and help me figure out what they do."
Zordon mentally felt the wave of power that swept over Billy and was delighted that the stone had picked Billy. Now is not the time to tell him, it must wait until he is alone. "Yes Billy. I believe that you will be able to find out their source of power with the help of the Elder."
Suddenly there was a flash of pink light as Kim appeared with a girl holding on to her. "Zordon, Corinne collapsed as some tengas appeared around us and the rangers." She saw Alex staring at the girl. "Hi Alex. This is Corinne Harris. She came to Angel Grove a month ago."
Alex and Billy rushed to help Corinne sit down on the chair Alpha had brought in. Alex stared at her as he realized it was the girl he saw in the office when he got his class schedule. "Hi, nice to see you again."
Corinne looked up at him and smiled. "Hi, Alex. I have heard all about you." She smiled as she saw Kim watching her. "I am a friend of the rangers and I help Billy and Kim out around here. You?"
Alex laughed. "I just found out about it today. Zordon's sister gave me a stone and told me he could tell me about it." He looked at Billy and saw him trying to cover up his laughter. "What's so funny Billy?"
Billy smiled. "Oh nothing. Now I know that Kim will have lots of help after I leave tomorrow. You can join Kim and Cori in fixing things around here while I am off finding out about these…" He trailed off as he saw two of the stones glowing in smoky shades of pink and green. "Kim, pick up those stones and give the green one to Cori."
Kim was confused but did as Billy said. When she touched the pink one, she felt a surge of warmth wash over her. "Wow, did you feel that too Billy?" She could see the blue stone in his hand. She immediately handed the green one to Corinne.
Corinne felt the same wave of warmth Kim had experienced. "Wow, I feel better already!" She stood up and smiled. "So, what's with these stones?"
Billy smiled. If I didn't know any better, I would say that things are definitely looking up for us! "We don't know yet but I am taking all these stones with me to Aquitar so the Elder can tell me about them. Well, except for Alex's."
Alex gave his stone to Billy. "No, you take it with you, my mom will understand." As he watched Billy pick up the others from the cylinder and take the two from the girls, he caught sight of a smile forming on Billy's lips.
Billy felt the warmth from all the stones he was holding. Suddenly he had an idea. He laid the stones down in a line and took the picture out of his pocket. He placed it behind the yellow and blue stones and called the others. "Guys, can you come here for a second?"
Kim, Alex, and Corinne gave each other a confused look and walked over to where Billy had laid all the stones out in front of him. Kim gasped as she noticed the familiar colors of the Morphin Rangers.
Cori looked at Kim. "What's wrong Kim?
Kim smiled. "Nothing. Billy, do you see what I see?"
Billy laughed. "Of course, why do you think I laid them out that way!"
Zordon let the two newcomers in on the secret. "Corinne and Alex, except for the silver color, these are the colors of the Morphin Power Rangers. They were the first Power Rangers and are like children to me."
Corinne and Alex stared at each other. Corinne asked the question they both were thinking. "Weren't the power coins destroyed?"
Billy looked at Kim. "Yes they were but that is when we got ninjetti powers from Phaedos." He looked at Kim again as they both frowned. "We eventually had to give them up though."
Alex caught the meaning behind the frowns. "But you still help out. Isn't that somewhat like a ranger too?" He smiled as Billy looked at him with a slight smile on his lips.
Kim smiled and looked at Billy. "Yeah, I guess it is!" She looked at her watch. I hate to say this but we should all be getting home. We have school and Billy has to leave for Aquitar tomorrow." Plus I have to see how Tommy and the gang is.
Alex and Corinne looked at each other. Alex smiled. "Well, I guess I will see you tomorrow Corinne."
Corinne smiled. "Yeah. And by the way, call me Cori." She glanced at Kim and saw her smile. "Talk to you later Kim." After smiling at Billy, she teleported home.
Kim smiled and gave Billy a hug. "Bye Billy, take it easy on your trip and let me know how you are doing."
Billy smiled. "I will. By the way, thanks for earlier Kim." She had seen the picture when he laid it next to the stones. He had seen her smile as she looked at it.
Kim laughed. "No problem Billy. Just make sure you keep in touch. See you tomorrow Alex." She gave Billy one more hug before teleporting back to her house.
Billy sighed. "I'm really going to miss this place Zordon." He picked up the stones and put all of them in the cylinder except for the blue one. He then picked up his picture and turned to Alex. "Ready to go?"
Alex looked around one last time. "Yeah, I am ready. I will be back tomorrow with Kim most likely." Or maybe Cori if she isn't doing anything.
Billy smiled and gave Alpha a hug. "I'll contact you when I arrive on Aquitar. Goodbye Alpha." He smiled at Zordon. "Bye Zordon."
Zordon nodded to him as he and Alex teleported to Alex's house. I will miss you Billy
Billy dropped Alex off at his house and walked home. He left the communicator for Alex with the papers he told Alpha he would bring. I'm really going to miss everyone but at least I know I will be doing something worthwhile while I am gone. He unlocked his front door and quietly walked up to his room.
He looked at the cylinder and stone he was carrying and placed them on his desk. I have to make sure I don't forget these stones and our picture when I leave tomorrow. He smiled as he packed his bag for the trip. Trini is going to love this. He laughed as he recalled their expressions when they became power rangers. "I think Zack may also like this as well."
