A New Ally

Jason woke up to find out it was Monday, which meant three things for him to dread. One was it was now four days till Valentine's Day, second was that the weekend was over too soon for his liking, and third was that he had to wait till after school to go hang out with Scott.

Scott didn't go to the same school as Jason and his friends, so Jason would just have to settle for after seeing him after school.

'Aw man…' Jason suddenly remembered that he had plans for the weekend. 'Well whatever they were, I'm sure the other will angrily remind me cause I know I must of stood them up on something important.' He wondered, as he rolls out of bed, 'How could I forget?' While he got dressed, Jason pondered about what could possible make him forget his friends like he did. It was while he was going downstairs that he came to realization what it could be.

For the whole weekend Jason spent it with Scott and he enjoyed it every minute of it. They hung out in the park, Scott's great grandfather's dojo, and the mall. Jason even invited Scott over for a sleepover at his house on Saturday, but Scott declined. As he thinks about things some more, he didn't invite Tommy or Zack until he knew them for a couple weeks and it took just as long to become best friends with both of them. But with Scott, he was ready to be 'friends for life' after knowing the guy for only three days. In fact, Jason found himself kind of impatient to get to school and for it to be over so he could hang out with him afterwards.

After eating breakfast, Jason head for school with the wonder of why he was so hung up on Scott. He was in such a deep thought, that he didn't hear Zack come running up or feel an arm being thrown around his neck. It was when Zack jerked Jason's head down to give him a nuggy that he suddenly realizes someone was there.

"Cut it out!" Jason shouts as he pulls his head free from Zack's grip. "That hurts." He smoothes out his hair.

"I had to do something to get your attention." Zack tells him. "You were in real deep thought. What were you thinking about?"

"N…nothing." Jason says. He couldn't tell Zack that he was thinking about a guy, it just wouldn't come out right.

"Uh huh." Zack gives him a sly look. "I know what's on your mind."

"Really?" Jason gives Zack a disbelief look. "What?"

"You worried about what Tommy's going to do to you." Zack laughs. "You were suppose to help him train Saturday for the tournament Sunday."

"Was that this weekend?!" Jason disbelief look turned to surprise. "Oh man, so that's what I forgot." He smacks his forehead and drags his hand down over his face. Jason separates his fingers to look at Zack through the corners of his eyes. "Did he win? Please tell me he won."

"Just barely." Zack tells him. He puts a hand on Jason's shoulder and gives it a squeeze. "Hey, don't worry. Tommy is never one to hold a grudge. He was a little miff, but I think he got over it."

"Well I think he'll be pretty angry when he finds out why I forgot." Jason thinks. They get to school to find Tommy and the others waiting by their lockers.

Tommy was leaning against Jason's locker on his left shoulder and his arms were cross. "Ok Jas, give it to us straight." There was a grin on his face. "Who is she?"

Jason had a confuse look. "What do you mean?" All his friends were look at him.

"Come on Jason." Kimberly waps Jason's left shoulder. "The only reason you would blow off training with one of your best friends a day before the tournament and miss him in said tournament, could only mean one thing." She gives him a sly smile. "You were out with a girl."

"Come on Jason, tell us who she is." Zack said. "Are you going to spend Valentine's with her?" He had a huge grin on his face.

"I must admit, I am conjecturing to know who this person who has your consideration in compromise." Billy said, holding a hand to his chin.

"He also wants to know who she is." Trini translated.

"I don't know where you got that idea." Jason looks around at them. "I'm not seeing any girl." He motions for Tommy to move so he could get into his locker.

"So who were you hanging out with?" Tommy asked as he moved.

"A new friend I've made." Jason said while he opened his locker. "He moved in next door last week." He emptied his bag of books into the locker.

"You were hanging out with another guy?" Tommy said with surprise.

Jason answers while he was still in his locker. "Uh…yeah." He didn't want them to see he was blushing. He felt so bad for blowing Tommy off like he did, but he also felt bad about telling them he was out with a guy. What is wrong with him?

"So who is he? Will we get to meet him? When?" Kimberly asked. "Is he cute?" Tommy gave her a look. "Relax, I was just kidding." She told him.

'Cute?' Jason thinks. 'Maybe…wait, what am I thinking?' He shakes his head to remove the thought from it. To everyone looking at him, it was like he was saying no to Kimberly's question. He takes a deep breath a moment before he pulled his head out of his locker to answers the questions. His face was feeling warm, but he manages to keep it under control. "O…of course you would. Maybe tomorrow…" Jason sticks his head back into the locker quickly when it felt like he going to blush again. He pretends to look for his books for his first three classes. "Oh no." He suddenly groans.

"What is it?" Zack asked while he was getting some books out of his own locker.

"My homework…" Jason sighed before he dropped his head on the bottom of his locker. "I just remembered that I forgot to do the assigned reading."

"Guess you were having too much fun with your new friend." Tommy said irritably.

Jason takes a chance to glance at Tommy. "What's your problem?"

"Oh nothing. I mean, why should I be angry over the fact that my best friend blew me off so he could hang out with another person." Tommy growled as he threw his hands up in the air. "Could it have killed you to call and let me know that you were going to do something else with someone else?"

"I'm sorry." Jason apologized. "I didn't mean to. I just forgot, that's all." He suddenly realized that maybe that was the wrong thing to say, because Tommy's face turned a deep red with angry. "T…Tommy, I didn't mean to, honest."

"You know what?" Tommy clenched his hands into tight fists. "You can…. I can't beli…. Just leave me alone." He turned his back on Jason and storm off.

Jason calls after him. "Tommy, wait." He was going to chase after him, but Kimberly stops him.

"Give him time to cool off." She said with a little cold in her voice. She goes after Tommy.

"Kim…" Jason watches both of them go off and then turns to who was left. Zack put up his hands like he didn't want to be involved. Billy and Trini wouldn't meet his eyes. Jason gives a deep sigh as he took some books out of his locker. The three of them walked to their English class in silence.

"Good morning class." Ms. Applebee greets the class cheerfully.

Next to the teacher was a young sixteen-year-old Caucasian/Chinese halfling girl, standing in a timid kind of way. Her hands were behind her back, head bent down looking at the ground, and she stood on her left foot with her right one behind it. She had brown hair that went down past her shoulders, almost to the middle of her back. She wore a red Chinese long-sleeved shirt, black pants, and Chinese shoes.

"I like you all to meet a new member to our class and school, Jaclyn Nicolas." Ms. Applebee introduced, as the girl brought her head up to look at the class, showing her brown eyes and a slightly red face. Ms. Applebee turned to the girl. "Why don't you have a seat over there." She pointed to an empty desk next to Jason and in front of Trini.

Jaclyn nods and goes over to the seat. She gives a shy wave to Jason, being as he was the only one who watching her take the seat, but he does not give her much of a respond. It was a barely noticeable nod before he goes back to looking at the teacher.

At the end of the period Jason felt even worse the he did when he went in. He was the one asked to give a summary of Act one in Romeo and Juliet, but all he could do was stand there and shrug. Ms. Applebee rolled her eyes as Bulk and Skull did their high-pitched laugher that mocked at him.

After third period, Jason went to his locker to put his books away and get out others. While he was there Jaclyn came up to the locker next to him, with a pile of books in her arms. When he closed his locker and turned to walk away, he bumped right into her. She fell backwards and all her books were on the floor.

"Oh…I'm sorry." Jaclyn tells him as she gathers them back up. "I just came from the bookroom, since I've had time to go there. I never excepted to get so many." Jason just sort of stands there and watches as she picks up her books. When she stands up with all her books in her arms again, another pair of hands comes out of the middle of nowhere and shoves her. She falls forward and her books go everywhere again.

"You freak. Don't you know better?" The owner of the hands says. There stood a seventeen-year-old Caucasian boy glaring down at her with brown eyes. He had buzz-cut black hair, a white sleeveless shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers. "You don't get up till you're allowed to." He said crudely as he put his hands on his hips. "That's the rule for bumping into someone human."

"Hey, why don't you leave her alone?" Jason tells the boy as he leans down to give Jaclyn a hand. She blushes slightly as she takes it and he pulls her up to her feet. Then Jason bends down to gather up her books. Once he did that, he dumps them back into her arms.

"Don't you know who she is?" The boy points at her. "She's the worlds biggest freak." He goes up to Jaclyn and knocks the books out of her hands again. "She's so ugly that if aliens were to take her, they mercy kill our planet out of sympathy."

"Why don't you just take a hike, huh?" Jason gives the guy a shove. "Get lost and leave her alone." The guy was about to shove back when he took a closer look at Jason's arms and thinks that a tactical retreat would be a better idea.

"Thanks." Jaclyn says as she gathers up her books one more time. She puts the pile by the lockers so she could open hers.

"No problem." Jason puts a hand up like it was nothing. "Can't stand jerks."

"You get use to it after a while." Jaclyn sighs as she puts her books away. "When it happens to you all the time, there is nothing you could really do about it." She turns around to look at Jason, but he was no longer there. Jaclyn looks around to see where he went, but there was no sign of him. With a deep sigh she puts her books away, takes out what she needs and leave for her next class.

Come lunchtime, it seem that Tommy had cooled down enough to be willing to have lunch with Jason and the others. Much to Jason's dislike, everyone started talking about Valentine's Day. He made no complaint and went with the flow of things, figuring that he deserved it for forgetting his friends over the weekend. By the end of lunch he and Tommy were at least on talking terms again.

Sixth period came around to cue the time for the minutes to be count down till the end of school and Jason found himself to be pretty anxious about it. As soon as that bell would ring to let him out of class, he was going to dump his books in his locker and go to the park where Scott would be waiting for him. By the time he is done putting and getting what he needs, the others had come. Jason gives a quick wave as he passes them to leave. They don't really have a chance to say anything to him.

"What's his hurry?" Kimberly says as she watches him take off.

"Probably off to see his new friend." Tommy mutters.

At the park…

Scott was sitting on one of the large rocks surrounding the lake in Angel Grove Park. He was wearing a baggy gray sweatshirt, black sweat pants, the same hat and shoes as before, but this time he had purple round shades on. He was skipping rocks across the lake when Jason comes running up to him.

"Hope you didn't have to wait long." Jason pants as he bent over, resting his hands on his legs to catching his breath.

"Not at all." Scott turns around to look at him. "Don't tell me you ran all the way here." He hops off the rock and comes over to Jason.

"Well, I started out walking…" Jason straightens up, "but then it sort of turn into jogging. Next thing I know, I was running here."

"So what to do you want to do today?" Scott asked.

"I don't know." Jason puts his hands behind his head and looks up at the sky to think. "Oh, yeah." He looks back at Scott. "I want you to meet my friends tomorrow, what do you say?"

"What are they like?"

"They are ok. They were kind of curious about you?"

"Oh?"

"Yeah…" Jason looks down at the ground in embarrassment. "See, I kind of forgot that I was suppose to train with one of them Saturday for a tournament Sunday. When they wanted know why, I said cause I was hanging out with you." He looks back up at Scott.

"I'm sorry." Scott looked like he felt really bad. "I guess I took up a lot of your time." He nervously adjusted his shades.

"Hey." Jason waves his hands like everything was ok. "It was totally my fault."

On the Moon…

Rita comes walking in wearing a green lei, a pair of Ray Bands and holding a pineapple made into a cup with a little paper umbrella and curly straw.

"My queen, I hope your vacation was all that you hoped for." Goldar greeted.

"Of course it was you idiot." Rita screeched as she threw her shades at him, dumped her drink on Squat, and twisted the lei around Baboon's neck. "But now I'm back and I want to cause trouble." She stormed to the back, where Finster's workshop was. "Finster! Finster!!"

The old alien was by his sculptor's wheel, carving something out of clay. "Yes my queen." He replied.

"Finster, I want you to make me a monster." Rita screeched.

"Of course my queen, coming right up." Finster holds up his finished product. "In welcoming you back from your trip in Hawaii, I have made this." He shows it to Rita. "I call it Surf Race."

"It looks like a racecar with a surfboard on the rack." Squat says as he bumbles his way into the backroom.

"Ah yes, but looks can be deceiving." Finster puts the clay racecar onto the conveyor belt and pulls the handle. After the clay car goes into the machine, a racecar comes out of the large tube connected to it. "Wait for it."

The car transforms into a robot. His body was the car; his arms and legs were the doors. The rack on the back were now spikes. The front wheels were wrapped around his wrists and if he pulled his hand in, they would turn into speakers. His rear wheels were on the sides of his ankles, the tires were spiked. He wore a pair of shades that was the tinted windshield. He held a surfboard in one hand.

"I got this idea from one of the cartoons on Earth." Finster explained. "Seems they have vehicles that turn into robots. I figure we could use that idea against them."

"Oh." Rita walks around the car, looking at it.

"Hey, what's up dudette?" Surf Race says as he gives a 'surfs up' sign.

"He better be good Finster." Rita threatens.

"He should be the best my queen. You must have faith." Finster says as he nods.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going down where there are some gnarly waves." Surf Race teleports from the moon and appears on the beach. He gets on his board and paddles out.

Once Surf Race was out a good distance, he sits there to wait for a nice wave to come. He waits awhile impatiently, but no waves seem to come. "Talk about dullsville." Surf Race said as he rubs his hands together. "Looks like I'll have to do something radical to get the altitude that I want." The robot car pulls his hands into his wheels, puts his arms by his sides, and sends a sonic shockwave that causes a large earthquake. The quake shakes the water enough to build up a large wave.

"Alright." Surf Race brings his hands back out so he could paddle with the wave. The wave grows to be bigger and bigger. "Right on." Surf Race hops on top of the board to ride the wave as it comes to shore. But the wave was so big, it came crashing down onto the beach and he ends up slamming into the cliff side.

"Righteous." Surf Race says after peeling himself off. "Got to make it a bigger wave, so I don't do that again." He grabs up his board and paddles back out.

Meanwhile…

As Jason and Scott were trying to decide what to do, a large earthquake happens. The shaking was so bad that it knocks them off their feet.

"W…what's going on?" Scott says as he gets back on his feet when the shaking stops.

"I don't know." Jason looks around as he gets to his feet also. As he does, his communicator goes off.

Scott looks over at Jason. "What was that?"

"Um…my pager." Jason puts a hand over the communicator before it goes off again. "It's probably my mom wondering if I'm ok. You stay here while I find a phone."

Another earthquake happens, knocking them off their feet again. "Why can't I come with you?" Scott has a confused look. "I should tell my mom that I'm ok too." He gets on his feet again.

"N…no. You should stay in the open." Jason puts a hand up to have Scott stay where he is. "We don't know when these quakes will stop." He gets to his feet.

Scott now has a worried look. "But…"

"Just stay here and wait for me." Jason grabs Scott's shoulders. "Ok? Promise me you'll stay." He gives Scott a pleading look. "I don't want to worry about you."

"O…ok." Scott says reluctantly. "Be back soon."

"I will." Jason promises as he runs off.

Another earthquake hits, but Jason manages to stay on his feet this time. He looks back quickly to see Scott on the ground again. When he gets far enough away he contacts Zordan. "What is it?"

"You must come to the Command Center immediately." Zordon says. "Rita is at it again."

"Right." Jason looks back one more time to see if Scott was still where he left him.

Scott was just getting to his feet and dusting himself off. He wonders if Scott will be ok before he teleports to the Command Center.

"I knew the peace wouldn't last long." Jason says to the others when he gets there.

"Rita was on vacation, but it seems that she is back." Zordon tells them. "Look at the Viewing Globe." They turn around to see who was causing the earthquakes. "That is Surf Race. A racecar that can transform into surf crazed robot. He is causing the earthquakes with his sonic booms." They watched as he made a big wave crash over the cliff side and almost hit some buildings."

"If we don't stop him, he'll wipe out Angel Grove soon." Kimberly says.

"It's Morphin Time." Jason yells as everyone puts their hands behind their back to get their power coins.

They all transform and teleport to the beach side just as a Surf Race was about to paddle back out.

"Hold it right there!" Jason's yells. "That enough!"

"Aw man." Surf Race stops and looks at them. "Looks like some lame-os here are trying to ruin my fun."

"That's right." Tommy shouts. "Your time is up."

"But all I want to do is have fun." Surf Race complains. "I don't want to fight." Suddenly he gets an idea. "I know, let's have a surfing contest."

"How about not and we kick your tail pipe instead." Kimberly says as she jumps at him with her bow out. She shoots an arrow at him.

"Have it your way." Surf Race says as he dodges the arrow.

The robot transforms back into a car and turns around so his tail pipes were facing them. He revs up his engine before spitting a large black cloud of smoke at them. The cloud engulfs everyone except Zack, who manage to jump out of the way.

"Oh man." Jason coughs. "It's suffocating in here."

"I can't breath." Kimberly shouts.

"I can't see." Cries Trini.

The cloud doesn't go away, but stays.

Zack turns to Surf Race. "What did you do to my friends?"

"I clouded their judgment dude." Surf Race laughs as he transforms back into a robot again. "If you want the cloud to be lifted and me to go away, you have to win the surfing contest."

"Grrr…" Zack growls. "It looks like I have no choice."

"Alright." Surf Race makes a surfboard appear and throws it to the black ranger. "It's a race from the middle of the bay back to land. First one here, wins." Zack nods. "Ok, let's go." They both paddle out into the ocean. "Get ready, get set…" Surf Race does another sonic boom to cause another large wave. They both hop onto their boards to ride the wave back to the beach. "Get ready to eat my dust." He laughs as he pulls in front of Zack.

"Don't think you have me beat." Zack says as he maneuvers around the robot. "I'm quite the surf dude myself."

"You think so?" Surf Race points a hand at Zack. "Then try this on for size dude." He sends a sonic boom Zack's way. Zack manage to dodge out of its way in time.

"Hey, that's cheating." Zack yells as Surf Race pulls ahead again.

"All's fair in love and surf." Surf Race laughs.

A blast comes from behind him and he turns around to see Zack coming up quick with his power axe turn into a gun.

"Hey." Surf Race cried.

Zack smirks as he pulls up next to Surf Race. "All's fair, remember?"

They were neck and neck for a while, but Surf Race moves his board over to try to slam into Zack's. They knock boards and Zack finds it hard to stay on. Surf Race knocks into Zack again, but this time Zack was ready from him. As he was tipping to almost fall off his board, he grabbed one of Surf Race's arms. Using the momentum of his near fall, he pulls the robot off his board into the water. As the robot fell into the water, Zack struggled to stay on his. Once he was balanced, he surfs the rest of the wave out and ends up near the black cloud dust. Surf Race washed up to the beach shore next to Zack's board.

"Ha, I won." Zack says happily.

The robot slams the ground. "Grrr…I lost."

"Now let my friends go and leave us alone." Zack demands.

Surf Race gets to his feet. "You think I would actually keep my word." He laughs. "You are going to be one sorry dude." He brings his hands up and shoots a sonic blast at Zack, who was now standing in front of the black cloud. "With a gnarly place as this, there is no way I'm giving it up." The sonic blast bows the black cloud away and sends Zack, with the other rangers, flying. "Guess I should watch where I aim." He rubs the back of his head.

"Oh, I can breath again." Kimberly sighs.

"Is everyone alright?" Zack asks.

"We nearly asphyxiate, but I think we are ok." Billy coughs.

Surf Race transforms into a car again and turns his back the rangers once more. This time, when he shoots another black cloud, he manages to engulf them all.

"Aw man." Jason groans. "Not again." He begins to cough again.

"I just got the last of it out of my lungs." Tommy chokes.

"I win." Surf Race laughs at them as he watches them choke on the smog. "I will always win."

A female voice calls out. "Don't think so." A white rose shoots of nowhere and lands in front of Surf Race.

"Who are you?" Surf Race looks around for where the rose came from. "Where are you?"

Someone tapped his shoulder. "Right behind you." He turned around to see a white ninja glaring at him. All of her head, but space around her eyes were covered.

"Why you…" Surf Race swings his arm at the ninja, but she jumps to the side of him. "I'll get you." He swings again and the ninja jumps over where the black cloud was. She puts a hand behind her back and waves at him with the other. "Now I've got you, dodge this." Surf Race brings up his hand and sends a sonic blast.

"With pleasure." The ninja jumped up to dodge the blast. Once again the blast knocks the cloud away and sends the rangers flying. "Nice aiming." She mocked as she lands by the rangers. "You guys ok?"

"Who…who are you?" Jason coughs.

"Your protector." The ninja says as she looks down at Jason. "You can call me 'The White Rose Ninja'." She holds out a hand to help him up.

If anyone could see inside his helmet they would have seen him blushing a little as he took it. To him, her brown eyes seem to set off some kind of beauty he had never seen before. Jason thinks he's seen them somewhere before…maybe not. He wished he knew what her whole face looked like. She pulls him to his feet.

"Protector?" Kimberly asked.

All the rangers looked at her once they were back on their feet.

"That's right." The ninja nods. "It is my mission to make sure you guys always win in the battle for good. Whenever you're in trouble, I'll be there." She gives a thumb up and a wink.

"If it's one thing I hate more than losing," Surf Race growled, "it's being ignored." He brings his arms up and his hands retracted into the wheels.

"Aw…" The ninja turned back to him. "We're sorry. Here, maybe this will make you feel better." With her right hand, she pulls a double moon shape part of a necklace she wore around her neck and holds it out in front of her. "Change." The necklace glows a bright white light and changes into a Klingon Biathlete. She held the weapon above her head. "Power Biathlete," Each of the rangers glowed the color of their suit and a colored light flowed from them into the her weapon, "Cut!" She threw the weapon like it was a giant boomerang.

The weapon glowed multiple colors as it twirled through the air. It passed in front of Surf Race and cut his wrists off before returning to the ninja's right hand. Once she caught it, she held it by her side and put her left hand on her hip.

"Oh man…my wheels." Surf Race looks at his arms. "I can't create my gnarly waves without them. But don't think you have me beat." He turns into a car, only it seems that his front wheels and part of his doors were missing.

Surf Race turns around to shoot another cloud smoke. The ninja held up a hand where a white rose appeared in it. She aims for the tail pipe and throws the rose into it. The rose clogs up the pipe, causing it to explode. Surf Race finds himself transform back into a robot with no hands and no rear.

Growing frustrated from the Moon, Rita throws her wand down to Earth. "Magic wand, make my monster grow." The witch shouts while the wand flies.

"Alright." Surf Race laughs as he sees the wand land in the ground in front him. The wand caused the ground to split open, allowing some sort of gas to arise and make Surf Race grow to monstrous size. "Radical dude."

The ninja looks at them. "Well, I'm sure you guys are ok enough to take care of this monster." She puts two fingers to her forehead. "Good luck." And waves them away. "Whenever you're in trouble, I'll be there." The ninja blows a kiss to Jason before disappearing in a blizzard of white rose petals.

"Aw man, she left." Jason groans. "And I…I mean we didn't even get to know who she was.

"Well we don't have time to mull over this." Tommy says. "We got a monster to destroy."

"Your right." Jason nods. "We need dinozords power. Now!"

All the rangers put a hand into the air as they called for their zords. Once the zords came out of the ground and each ranger were in their own, Jason called for them to come together to make the Megazord. Even though Surf Race didn't have any hands or his tail pipe, he wasn't out of the fight yet. He forward kicks the Megazord in the chest. The wheel on his ankle spins having the spikes try to cut into it.

"Shields are down to 75." Zack yells.

The Mega zord jumps away from Surf Race, but surfing robot was a step ahead and kicks the feet out from under them. The giant robot falls to the ground with a thud. As the rangers try to get the Megazord to stand up, Kimberly screams, "Look out. He's got spikes on his back." She yells.

They all look up in time to see the backside of Surf Race land on them. "Shields are now down to 50." Zack says. "Jas, we have to do something." Surf Race wiggles his back to make the spikes dig deeper.

"I know, but we got to get back on our feet." Jason yells.

The console in front of him sizzles and sparks fly everywhere. The rangers put their hands up to block.

"Hang on guys, we're coming." Tommy shouts. He brings the sword flute to this helmet lips and plays the tune that calls the Dragonzord out its watery depths. "Lets go buddy."

Tommy plays the tune that makes the Dragonzord brings missiles out of its fingers. The missiles fly out at Surf Race and hit him. Surf Race flies off the Megazord and Dragonzord goes over to surfing robot, with its tail pointing at him. The spike on the tail begins to spin as it gets closer to Surf Robot. Now that Surf Race was being detained, Megazord had time to get to its feet and the Power Sword was called. It flies down from the sky for the Megazord to grasp. By the time Megazord had the sword, Surf Race was up on his feet ready to make another attack.

"Too late, you're through." Jason shouts as the Megazord cuts Surf Race, destroying the surfing robot.

Back on the Moon...

"You and your stupid ideas." Rita yells at Finster.

"But it wasn't really my idea my queen." Finster covers his head as Rita continuously hit him with her wand.

"How can I conquer the world with idiots like you." Rita screeched.

"But my queen, we have more things to worry about." Goldar says. "It seems the rangers have gotten a new ally, but who is she?"

"I don't know." Rita yells at him. She puts a hand to her head. "I have such a headache." She groans.

At The Command Center…

"Alpha, now that the rangers have defeated the monster, teleport them back here." Zordon tells the little robot. "There are things we must discuss."

"Right Zordon." Alpha pushes a couple buttons and the rangers were teleported to the Command Center.

"Ok, I'm going to ask the obvious here." Kimberly looks up at the floating head. "Who was that ninja? What does she mean that she is our 'protector'?"

"That is the White Rose Ninja." Zordon tells them. "She must be a descendant of the long line of 'Protectors'." He sees the confused looks on the rangers' faces. "A ninja who comes to protect those who fight to save good from evil. They come to help get them out of binds and encourages them to fight harder, stronger."

"So they are like Tuxedo Mask." Kimberly says. Everyone looks at her. "You know, from Sailor Moon." When they all got it, they nodded.

"There is more to them." Zordon says. "They have a great abilities when they get power from those they fight with. The more power they are given, the stronger they will be."

"Well that explains the transference of power from us to her." Billy says.

"Yes. But there is a drawback." Zordon's voice turns grave. "When they do not receive the power needed for those attacks, energy is taken from them. They only get power so long as those they fight with work together. Should they use up all their energy, they will lose the their own power till they had rest. If not carefully watched, they could leave themselves open for attack or even get themselves killed. Not only will they have to look out for those they protect, but they have to have an eye kept on by them."

"So she really would need us as much as we would need her." Zack surmises.

"Yes." Zordon nods. "That is to ensure that there is no ultimate power to be threatening with and team work for all to share equally in credit."

"She was kind of cute." Jason says. Everyone turns to look at him. "Uh…did I say that out loud?" He looks at them with embarrassment.

"How would you know how she looks?" Kimberly asks. "All you could see were her eyes."

"But she had beautiful eyes." Jason says. "I think I've seen them before…but I can't remember where." He puts a hand up to his chin to think.

"Maybe there is a girl you're sweet on back at school." Kimberly says with a sly look. "I saw you flirting with that new girl."

"I wasn't flirting with her. I was helping her out." Jason tells Kimberly. "Beside, she's not really my type."

"Maybe you saw someone you like when you hung out with that guy." Tommy grumbled.

"Oh man." Jason smacked his forehead. "I forgot all about Scott. I have to get back to the park." Jason teleports out.

"I don't suppose we could use the Viewing Globe to see this Scott guy Jason is hanging with." Tommy asked Alpha.

"Tommy, are you jealous?" Kimberly looks at him.

"Me?" Tommy looked shock. "No way. I just want to see what the big deal is with this guy."

"I think we can wait till tomorrow." Trini said. "Jason said he'd introduce us to him then."
