Hey everyone! Here's Billy's quest. Hope you like! I don't own the rangers,
and everything else is the property of my imagination. So their! Always me,

Billy opened his eyes and found himself on a strip of land in the middle of the ocean. It couldn't be called an island; it was simply a strip of sand and rocks. He looked around and jumped. Perched on a rock was a rather large wolf. Billy frowned. /What is a wolf doing here?/ he wondered. The Wolf gave a feral grin. Billy blinked.
"Can you hear my thoughts?" he asked curiously. The wolf nodded. Billy furrowed his brow.
"But how? You're a wolf; wolves can't talk or hear thoughts. Can they?" Billy asked.
"Normal wolves cannot. Do you not remember me, young cub?" Billy started at the voice and his eyes went wide as he finally figured out the wolf's identity.
"Shadowfax?" he whispered. The wolf gave another feral grin.
"Tis me, young cub. Took you long enough." Billy coughed.
"It's been a while since I've spoken with you Shadowfax, you know that." The wolf tilted his head in consent.
"Yes, it has been one year two months, three days, seventeen hours, and thirty nine seconds since we last spoke." Billy chuckled.
"Always were precise. Where are we?" The wolf gave another wild grin.
"You are here for your tests of Mind, Body, and Soul. Do you see that rock way out there?" Shadowfax asked and Billy looked out at the water and found what he was talking about. He nodded.
"Good. You must swim to the rock and place your right paw on it. Your first test will be of Soul." Billy bit his lip to keep from reminding Shadowfax that he had a hand, not a paw. He shrugged and started towards the rock. He was about halfway to the rock when his feet left the bottom. He swam the rest of the way there and was more than happy to place his hand on the rock.
A second later, he wasn't so happy when he blacked out.
When he came to, he was in a small partially destroyed building, a very small fire was in a ring of rocks, and he could hear guns and bombs in the distance. He sat up. A young man tilted his head.
"Welcome. You are on KO-35, a planet that is currently being destroyed by a very lost and confused young woman. The rangers of the planet have failed; only two rangers are left, red and silver. Soon their will only be one. I am Merridoc, and I am your guide to your quest." He answered all Billy's unspoken questions. Billy nodded warily. He looked hesitantly out the window.
What once looked to be a very advanced and cultured city was in ruins; fires were everywhere, as were hideous henchman that Billy recognized as cuatrons. He furrowed his brow. /Are they pilfering that building?/ he wondered. He turned back to Merridoc as he chuckled ruthlessly.
"Yes. They are pilfering the city looking for two things for their mistress. The red and silver rangers and the green astro morpher. What they don't know is that the green astro morpher is not on the planet, but on Phaedos with Lady Dulcea. Their Mistress wants it for the power." Billy frowned and sighed.
"Why is it always the green morpher's?'" he muttered. Merridoc chuckled humorously.
"Its not always the green ones, sometimes its red, blue, any power is susceptible to the dark forces. However, their have never once been a pink ranger that gave in on their own free will." Billy shook his head.
"You're wrong. Kat did." Merridoc eyes crinkled.
"Actually, Lord, you are wrong. Firstly, she did not give in on her own free will, she was under a spell. And was Katherine a ranger during the time she was evil?" he asked. Billy frowned and thought it over. Finally, he shrugged.
"Okay, I get the point. You're right, I'm wrong. What's this quest going to entail?" He changed the subject. Merridoc chuckled.
"Three tests, one of Soul, one of Body, and one of Mind." He answered. Billy nodded and watched as Merridoc stood from his perch and gathered a cloak around him. He motioned towards the door and the two walked out. Billy eyes stung as smoke wafted over them. The two walked.
When Merridoc finally held up a hand for him to stop, they were in part of the city that was literally flattened. A young woman with lilac hair was ordering others around. Billy eyes narrowed.
"Merridoc, shouldn't we be hiding?" He asked softly. Merridoc nodded.
"If she could see us, I'd agree. However, she cannot. Unless we interfere voluntarily and you stray from your quest, she will not be able to see us." he told him just as a silver white and a red beam materialized into two alien rangers (alien to Billy that is).
"You go no further, Astronema!" The red ranger yelled. The woman, now named Astronema, laughed.
"You cannot stop me rangers! I have killed your teammates; you two will be like swatting an Earth fly." Billy blinked. He turned to Merridoc.
"She killed their teammates? I mean, I know you told me so, but I didn't realize you were talking about them being dead. I thought their powers had just been destroyed." Merridoc shook his head sadly.
"Tis true, young one. Ariana the yellow ranger, Katia, the pink ranger, Sharazo, the blue ranger, and Hatario, the black ranger have died. She didn't' kill them herself, it was her henchman who did so." He murmured. Billy swallowed and watched as the red and silver rangers fought the small army surrounding their mistress. Merridoc laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Come Lord, we must go. Your quest awaits." Billy shook his head, preparing to voluntarily fight with the two alien rangers. Merridoc sighed.
"This is not your fight, Lord. Come." He tried pulling but Billy wouldn't' budge.
"No Merridoc. I am a ranger, any evil diva as Kim use to say that tries and succeeds to kill innocents is my fight. I will not go until I'm not needed." Just as he said this, the silver ranger jumped in front of the red ranger and took a hit meant for him. He fell, lifeless to the ground just as Billy stood up tall.
"And I'm definitely needed now. The Wolf!" he yelled and was instantly clothed in his ninjette garb. By Astronema's startled expression, she could see him. Billy smiled from beneath the cloth covering his face.
"Another blue ranger? How can this be?" She yelled in outrage. The red ranger ran over to him so Billy didn't see Merridoc's approving expression.
"Who are you stranger?" the red ranger asked him. Billy's eyes crinkled in a friendly smile.
"I am a guardian of the king and queen of Phaedos, as well as a voluntary ally." He replied. The red ranger studied him for a few minutes before nodding. The two turned to face Astronema who was having, among other things, a hissy fit. "Astronema, leave this place!" he yelled. Astronema sneered in response.
"I am the Princess of evil and will have whatever I desire! You are of no consequence to me, ranger! I will kill you and crush you like I did the other rangers who stood in my way!" she scoffed. Billy snickered.
"I have a science teacher who says the same thing every morning. Doesn't mean I'm going to believe it." he retorted. The red ranger let loose a tiny snicker, barely noticeable, and Billy grinned.
"Minions attack!" Astronema yelled. Billy and the red ranger went into action. With the years of fighting on earth plus Dulcea's training added to the mix, her minions didn't stand a chance in hell against him. The red ranger wasn't so bad either. Once the red ranger had destroyed the last henchman, Astronema huffed in anger and teleported away. The red ranger ran over to his friend's body and Billy following at a slower pace. Billy watched as his friend picked up the body and turned to him.
"Thank you for the aid ranger, but my friend might still have a chance to survive. I must get him back to my ship." Billy nodded.
"Do you have a cyro tank?" he asked. The red ranger shook his head in the negative. Billy sighed.
"Can your ship get you to Aquatar?" he asked. The red ranger nodded. Billy smiled.
"Go to Aquatar; tell them the Peacemaker sent you. Tell them with my authority you are to have the medical help you will need. Give the white ranger, Delphine, this." he handed the red ranger a small blue gem with Billy's personal shield. According to the Aquatain culture, each ranger or ranking official had a shield for safety issues. As the official Peacemaker and earth Ambassador, Billy had to have one. The red ranger studied the gem and nodded.
"Thank you for your help." he replied. Billy nodded and stepped back as the two ranger's teleported away. He turned around when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Congratulations, blue ranger. You have passed all three tests." Merridoc softly informed him. Billy looked at him startled.
"I what?" Merridoc chuckled.
"By straying from your quest to help someone in need, you passed the test of Soul. By fighting the henchman of Astronema, you have passed the test of Body. By finding a solution of keeping the silver ranger alive, you have passed the test of Mind. Congratulations." He said again and Billy felt himself teleport away.
When Billy reappeared back at the plateau, he was covered in new armor. He looked around and saw everyone but Adam was still out like a light. He smiled at the armored green ranger who smiled in return. The two settled in to wait for the others to finish.

Trivia of the Chapter: Two people said the following quotes about Bulk and Skull. Who said em? I'll give you a cookie!
"Something is seriously wrong with those two."
"Oh you just now figured that one out?"
Always me, BashfulC!
Sneak Peak at next chapter:
Zack looked at the young woman in alarm. She smiled at him and Zack turned to the monster he was in the process of fighting and held up a finger.
"Could you excuse me for one minute?" The monster tilted his head as Zack grabbed the young woman and pulled her out of fire range. It had never been told to wait a minute in the middle of a battle.
