Mathais: Thankfully they stopped now.

Jace: Hmm?

Justin: I get what he means.

Cassy: Yep.

Mathais: Anyway, it gets now to the juicy stuff, I think. I just went over some Sentai Rangers summaries and decided that those are a lot crueler than the Power Rangers shows.

Alex: *groans* You're going to torture us, aren't you?

Lina: Wouldn't put it past some people.

Mathais: You think too little of me.

Adriana: For good reason.

Mathais: Okay... Disclaimers?

Justin: He doesn't own the Power Rangers characters/powers/storyline, but this storyline/characters except me/powers do belong to him.

Mathais: A small note. Any time I describe the emblem of the Elementalist Rangers, I go counterclockwise with the five star points starting at the one at the very top. Just so I won't have to repeat anything.

Dear Journal,

I think I'm about to take a big step... I watched the death of a Ranger. Something I never thought would happen. Maybe I get answers. Maybe I won't. All I know is that I have to do this. I have to. Going over my memories, I realized that according to what I saw the last few times, the war I fought was easier. I might have to adjust to this new war, but my number one priority is protecting the innocent. That's the rule I will never break. The rule that I'm sworn to. I don't know what I'll find when I go to Stormton Ave., but I won't miss out. It's almost time.

~Justin

Justin slowly put his journal away as he stretched out his limbs. He blinked as a cracking noise came from his shoulders and chalked it up to his body not having much time to adjust to the loss of the Power. He glanced at his journal. I'm running out of pages. That journal has served me so long through my time as a Turbo Ranger. But if I'm going for a new start, I'll have to get a new one. A new one for new days. Smiling to himself, he took out a spare journal and placed it in his normal spot. Justin then hid the old one in the depths of his closet. Grabbing a blue jacket, he paused for a bit. I think I'll buy some orange and red clothes next time. Justin decided as he raced downstairs.

"Where are you going Justin?" Dean Stewart was sitting in the living room.

"I'm meeting my friends. Is that alright?" Justin paused on the last step. "It is, right?"

"Which friends?"

"My friends from school."

"At 3:55? Why come back then rush out to leave?"

"Because my friends have to set things up." Justin sounded slightly exasperated.

"Be safe. I don't want a repeat of what happened last time."

"DAD! That wasn't because of my friends!" Justin whined. After the final Turbo battle, Dean Stewart had found his son passed out on his bed covered in cuts and bruises with torn clothes. Justin had lied and said that some bullies had managed to use chloroform him and he barely managed to get away after they had beat him up. Dean was still skeptical, but trusted his son. This was one of the main reasons why they had moved away.

"I know, but I can't help but worry."

"Bye." Justin raced out the door.

"Bye." Dean slowly lowered his paper. Something is going to happen today.

* * * * * * *

Justin walked down the roads. Occasionally, he glanced at a map to make sure he was going the right way. He then switched to his watch and noticed that he was going to be late if he didn't pick up the pace. I sure miss Turbo speed. Going faster, Justin was soon at the corner of Stormton and Blazer. Amazingly enough, it was a business district and it was empty. Suspicious already, he crept around until his watch beeped 4:00. In that instant, five figures removed themselves from the shadows. Justin whirled around to face them, but the five held their hands up.

"Chill. It's us Justin." The five figures revealed themselves to be Alex, Adriana, Cassy, Lina, and Jace.

"That's good. Now what do you want to talk about?" Justin lowered his raised fists.

"We have a question to ask you first." Cassy said.

"Shoot."

"Can you keep a well-guarded secret?" Adriana asked as all six moved over to an alleyway.

"More than you'll ever know."

"Smart-alec when he wants to be... Nice." Lina smirked.

"If this is just a questionnaire, I'll be leaving." Justin turned around.

"Catch." Something was thrown to Justin and he easily caught it.

"What's this Jace?" Justin held up an orange jacket.

"Thought you might like it." Jace smiled.

"Thanks. I was thinking of a new wardrobe change." Justin removed his blue coat and put the orange one on. "Here." Jace easily caught the blue coat tossed to him. Smiling an innocent smile, Jace donned the blue jacket.

"So, what did you want to talk about?"

"Are you familiar with this symbol?" Alex crouched onto the ground and drew a somewhat complex symbol on the ground.

Justin gasped. "It looks familiar." He let it slip before he knew what he was doing.

On the ground, a star lay there. With the symbol for water at top, wind at the northwest point, thunder at the bottom left point, earth at the top right, ice at the bottom right, and fire in the middle, Justin recognized it as the symbol of the midnight battle.

"So it's true." Alex wiped his hands. "You do remember."

"What?" Something in Justin's mind was itching to get out, but it was blocked somehow.

"Element Morph!" Jace suddenly cried. "Aqua Water Power!" Jace thrust out the wrist that he had the bracelet on. It glowed an aqua light that let loose strands of energy. These strands flew across his form, covering his clothes in that light. Shattering, the light revealed an aqua suit. A helmet covered his head as a huge water droplet appeared beneath him. The water launched up, covering his form until as that could be seen was an outline. Jace's stature grew to be taller, as tall as the Blue Turbo Ranger. Covering his chest with his right hand, the Aqua Water Elementalist Ranger was standing in front of Justin. On his chest was a symbol not unlike the one on the ground. With water in the middle and wind at top, they moved in a counterclockwise sequence of thunder, ice, earth, and fire. Surrounding that symbol was a white diamond. On his waist was a golden buckle with a white strap, which a holster laid at the side of. The rest of his form was aqua colored, except for the elbow and knee joints, which were white. His helmet was like the Zeo helmet, except it was aqua colored and had a water droplet as the black visor. A white star was imprinted on his heart, a little to the left.

"Element Morph!" The other four called.

"Brown Earth Power!" An eerie brown light encompassed Alex's body from the bracelet he was wearing.

"Purple Ice Power!" Violet energy spread across Cassy's form, beginning at the bracelet she wore.

"Gold Thunder Power!" Golden strands of pure energy shot from Lina's bracelet to cover her body.

"Silver Wind Power!" Adriana let the silver light cover her from the bracelet she wore on her wrist.

When the lights shattered, helmet less, shorter versions of the rangers stood in front of him. Helmets attached themselves to the four's faces as three jagged spikes of earth ensnared Alex. A glacier sprung from the ground, capturing Cassy as a tornado swept around Adriana, leaving only an outline. Lightning flashed, leaving Lina's form shrouded in electric energy. The forms shifted, growing taller with each pulse of magical energy. The fury of the elements ended, revealing the other four rangers. They each had a minor variation of Aqua Ranger's suit. Each was color coded appropriately and there weren't any skirts, as they seemed rather unfit for battle. The emblem on the chests was different too. With Alex, his helmet had three jagged spikes on top of a rectangle on his helmet with his emblem being the symbol of earth in the middle. In a counterclockwise, or to the left, manner with the points starting at the top, it goes fire, water, wind, thunder, and ice. His white star was on his left shoulder. Adriana's helmet had a tornado on it, while her emblem had the wind in the center followed by thunder, ice, earth, fire, and water. Her star was on the right side of her helmet. Cassy's emblem had the symbol for ice in the middle with the star going earth, fire, water, wind, and thunder while she had a glacier on her helmet. A white star was on her heart, a little to the right. With a lightning bolt on her helmet, Lina's symbol at the sign of thunder in the center with it going ice, earth, fire, water, and wind. A white star was on her right shoulder.

A dam broke in Justin's head. I should have known! It was so obvious. The clothing, the disappearances... Yet I blind-sided them all. Was it magic?

"Touch my hand Justin." Jace's morphed voice was comforting.

"Alright..." Justin touched his hand to the gauntlet that was Water Ranger's. All six teleported away in a rainbow of colors. There was a silver one, gold one, aqua one, brown one, purple one, and one a strange mixture of white and blue that was tinted with orange.

In what was left behind, the surrounding disappeared to become an empty park on the outskirts of the city. The map that Justin had used shriveled into non-existence.

* * * * * * *

Justin's eyes were wide as they landed inside a chamber not unlike the Command Center Justin had seen during his review of the past teams. The whole room was a rainbow of six colors: orange, aqua, brown, silver, gold, and purple. Off to one side rested a globe that resembled the Viewing Globe of the old Command Center. The only difference was that this Viewing Globe was constantly sowing snapshots of different area of the surrounding states. There were many control panels, some of which Justin recognized, like communication and teleportation. There was even a little robot running everywhere, manning the controls. All six were currently facing a large tube containing the face of an aged man. The little Power that was left within Justin told him that this was a person who could grant the Power, or a Grid Master.

"Welcome to our home of operations, the Control Base."

"Alex? What's the meaning of this?" The robot scrambled up to them, much like in an Alpha-like manner.

"It's fine Zeta." All five Elementalist Rangers removed their helmets, shrinking to their original sizes. "He's hopefully out new Fire."

"So the Power has chosen him." A booming man voice echoed across the room. "Looks like it made a good choice."

"Huh?" Justin cocked his head to the side in feigned confusion.

"Do you know what a Power Ranger is?" Adriana asked.

"I lived in Angel Grove before coming here." Justin reminded.

"Oh." Adriana said.

"Would you like to be one?" Lina said bluntly.

The question shocked Justin. Not the fact that he was being asked out of the blue, it didn't matter like that. It was the fact that he again had the chance to fight evil and protect the innocent.

"You don't have-" Cassy started, but Justin interrupted her.

"I definitely would!"

"You have to swear by some rules before you can be able to become a Ranger. By breaking any of these rules, the Power will reject you." The Grid Master said.

"I will agree to any rules and I understand the consequences." Justin replied.

"One. You will never reveal your identity to the public. Two. Use excessive force only when necessary. Three. Only attack first if I or any other mentor advises you to. Four. Only infiltrate an enemy's base when you have nothing to lose or I or any other mentors asks you to. Five, and this is the most important. Protect the innocent ALWAYS."

"I agree to these rules." Justin said.

"Then open your mind to the Power. The power of Fire has chosen you. I have accepted you. Feel within your soul and let the power that lies dormant within you erupt and blaze!"

Justin gave a start as his bracelet started to glow a bright orange. The orange began to pulsate in a steady beat. He closed his eyes, basking in the warmth of that glow, as he felt within himself. As soon as he did, a bright glow sprung in his mental eye. It was focused all in one point, trapped in a cage. Justin reached a tentative mental hand out and tapped that cage. The confinement shattered instantly and the light flooded over his whole body. He gave a startled gasp at the power that now flowed through his veins. Forcing his eyes open, Justin kneeled to the ground as Jace caught him. Looking at the ground was the last thing he remembered before totally blacking out from the power that coursed through his body.

* * * * * * *

The next thing that Justin saw was Zeta's robotic face. The head was much like Alpha's, only made out of shiny chrome. Actually, Zeta looked like Alpha, only with blue instead of red, chrome instead of gold, and the lightning bolt replaced with a gold star. Justin sat up and rubbed his aching head.

"One hour. Faster than any of us." Alex smirked.

"I was out for an hour?!?!" Justin yelped as he shot up.

"Magical backlash. The power overwhelmed you and you had to black out. Each of us was out for 3 hours." Lina explained.

"Oh." Justin's mind slowly came to life again. "Can I ask you guys a sort of private question?"

"Shoot." Adriana replied.

"Was Brady the Orange Fire Ranger?"

All occupants, including Zeta and the Grid Master, winced.

"Yes, he was. And the other five deaths? They were our predecessors." Cassy gave a sigh.

"Losing a whole set of Rangers one at a time is something that isn't done." The Grid Master sighed.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. We need to lighten up the atmosphere anyway." Jace gave a reassuring smile.

"Justin? I took the liberty of taking a scan of you." Zeta came up with what would pass for a small bit of surprise on his blank face if it were possible.

"And?" Justin didn't like where this was going.

"It seems that you've held the Power before. A technological Power to be exact. Pity that you have to relearn some things because you have a magical Power now. It has the signature of a very well-known Grid Master named Zordon, but recently that section where the five Powers rested collapsed and all the Powers were utterly destroyed."

"I- I- It- It hurts to talk about it." Justin stuttered. "They were called the Turbo Powers. I was the Blue Turbo Ranger-"

"I know them from TV." Jace interrupted. "They're battles have been broadcasted over the television for a long time. However, recently, the latest defenders, the Turbo Rangers, have disappeared."

"Of course they disappeared. When our mentor, Dimitra of Inquiris, left with our partner, one of the Blue Senturion units, Divatox launched a full scale invasion on the Power Chamber, which was our base. Outside, we had lost two Megazords and only managed to defeat the enemy by self-destructing our Turbo RAM, which also destroyed the capability of summoning our special weapons. Our enemies had forced their way inside the Power Chamber and the place exploded, taking the Turbo Powers with it. The four other Rangers escaped into space to look for Zordon of Eltare, who had been captured by an evil being called Dark Specter. I stayed behind to be with my dad." Justin burst into long unshed tears as the memory replayed itself in his head.

All the Rangers put their hand on their lips.

"That's horrible." Adriana cried.

"Zordon of Eltare has been captured. By Dark Specter of all people? I am so behind in the times." The Grid Master sighed. "Oh excuse me. My name is Kamion."

"Kamion." Justin echoed.

"I am sorry for your loss. I know that you would want to protect the Earth again- without the publicity, correct?" Kamion asked.

"Yes."

"Then this is perfect for you. As you probably know, we currently have the power to wipe the memories of any person who saw the attacks. We also have the power to change your body and voice if anything bad happens along with restoring lives not associated with the Morphing Grid. You accepted the Power and it is now a part of you again."

"However..." Zeta interrupted. "This magical power is somewhat different from the technological one you have used. It might take awhile before you totally adjust to it. There is also a deeper power, but we can get you into that later."

Before anyone else could say anything, however, an alarm rang through the Control Base. The Viewing Globe flashed to life, showing a monster attacking at the Power Plant and draining all the energy.

"That's Shockerite." Kamion advised. "A strong Thunder Spirit that can easily attain maximum size by absorbing the whole town's electricity. He specializes in close-ranged attacks, but watch out for thunder bolts."

Alex snapped his head up. "Ready for a test run Justin?"

"You betcha! Element Morph! Orange Fire Power!" Justin felt the power erupt from his bracelet that was a concealed morpher. The power spread over his body, solidifying into an orange version of his friends' suits. The emblem on his chest was exactly like the one Alex had drawn on the ground not too long ago. A great pillar of fire encased Justin as his form shifted, reaching the height and build of the Blue Turbo Ranger. When he emerged, a white star rested on the left side of his helmet. A picture of a flame lay as the visor.

"Back into action!" The five Elementalist Rangers replaced their helmets and grew to their enhanced sizes.

They tapped their wrists and the feeling of teleportation, albeit a bit different to Justin, overcame their senses. Less than a moment later, they were out of the Control Base and speeding toward the power plant.

* * * * * * *

All six rangers landed in an empty corridor.

"Activate a heat scan Fire." Alex whispered.

Justin did so. The Power told him what to do. His visor grew a slight orange as he became able to see heat signatures. Moving in a full circle, he detected only heat signatures from electricity.

"No humans, but there is a large concentration of electricity about three corridors to the left."

"Let's move." Alex commanded as they drew their blasters. Each one was set at beam mode for efficiency. Their feet made a light tapping sound as they raced through the empty corridors.

"It's too quiet." Justin whispered.

"Left!" Cassy screamed as a bolt of thunder charged down the right side of the corridor. They swung to the left and the bolt passed harmlessly. Another came charging down, but Lina canceled it with her own bolt.

"Let's move." Alex said as Lina took point. They walked a little slower as they neared where the main control base was supposed to be.

"Charge or surprise?" Jace cocked his head.

"The element of surprise works the best always." Justin reminded.

"We'll sneak. I'll give the signal and open fire all of you." Adriana told them as she snuck around to the front of the room. The rest remained hidden on top of a catwalk as she snuck up. Adriana flashed them a signal as she opened fire on the room where the thunder spirits were absorbing electricity. Many of the spirits were wounded in the surprise attack as the other rangers started to fire.

Shockerite looked up from the main generator. "You're trying to stop me? You wish!" A shield of electricity emanating from Shockerite formed and blocked all oncoming blasts.

"We'll have to get up close and personal then." Everyone knew that Alex was smirking beneath his helmet.

"Charge!" Various battle cries were sounded as the six Elementalist Rangers charged into battle.

Justin immediately landed on a thunder spirit and pounded it into the ground. He swung around and kicked another one before backhanding another spirit at Jace. The Water Ranger looked up and sent a spin kick at the flying enemy. The spin kick knocked the spirit into a group of them and made them all explode. Jace returned to battle after murmuring a quick thanks and Justin did so also. Grinning to himself, Justin returned to the fray with a punch combo. Several more exploded when Justin smashed his fists and feet into their skulls. However, one caught him in his back and threw his headfirst into a punch. Temporary stunned, the thunder spirits remaining around Justin started to fire bolts of electricity. Justin continued to be shocked by the energy until Lina came flying in with a high jump kick that temporary paused the attack. Adriana and Jace brought him out of the danger zone as Alex and Cassy mopped up the last of the thunder spirits with a few well-placed attacks.

"You alright?" Jace asked.

"Faced worse." Justin winced, but stood up. "Let's get rid of this thing before we lose all the city's power."

"Right." Adriana nodded as they returned to their group in front of Shockerite.

"You think you can stop me?" A glowing orb of pulsating light appeared in Shockerite's outstretched hand. "Fire!" The orb suddenly started to spew out strikes of thunder. Justin ducked beneath one and rolled out of the way of another. One shot at his foot, but he danced away from it. Another came whizzing by, missing him, but hitting Jace. The boy was flung away as an explosion took place when it connected with him.

"Water!" The rest shouted as another barrage of bolts was send towards the boy.

Whatever Power of Turbo is left within me, please help! Justin ran as fast as he could toward Jace and just barely managed to knock him out of the way before the bolts struck and made a huge explosion where Jace just was. Helping the other Ranger up, Justin asked him a question.

"You alright?"

"Fine." Jace replied as they headed back into action.

Cassy and Adriana had their blasters out and were circling their enemy as Lina and Alex traded punches and kicks with Shockerite.

"Up, up, and away?" Justin hinted.

Jace chuckled. "I like the way you think."

Both boys climbed up to the catwalk easily via chains and then grasped them.

"Have a nice trip!" Jace swung down and caught Shockerite in the legs with a powerful kick. Shockerite rebounded quickly, growling.

"See you next fall!" Justin then swung down and landed with a powerful drill kick on Shockerite's chest.

"Bye bye." Cassy and Adriana shot their fully charged blasters at the monster. Shockerite was blown out of the wall and into an empty field.

"Now you've made me mad!" A second past before a thundercloud appeared overhead. An ancient symbol of growth appeared out of nowhere and was planted onto Shockerite's body. The body bulged and grew under the magic until it was Zord height.

"Ready for a test run?" Jace asked.

"As ready as ever!"

"We need Elemental Zord Power now!" Justin immediately felt the Power flow out of him as he could see the inner workings of the Zords. Six crystals hidden within the Control Base shot out beams of energy that served as a power source for the Zords. The six Zords appeared before Shockerite, somewhat smaller and ready to be piloted.

"Orange Phoenixian Zord!"

"Aqua Mermian Zord!"

"Silver Avian Zord!"

"Gold Lionian Zord!"

"Brown Golemian Zord!"

"Purple Bearian Zord!"

"POWER UP!" The six Rangers were teleported into their respect Zords and Justin got a huge shock. He was floating in the middle of a huge orb that allowed his to see everywhere around him. He could see everything within his sights and could fight like he would do on the ground. Grinning to himself, he stood in a line in front of Shockerite.

"Ready guys?" Lina asked.

"Yes!" The rest shouted as they ran forward in a full-fledged assault.

Bearian flew forward with a punch, but Shockerite blocked and launched a kick at Bearian's belly. The purple Zord flew back a way as Avian dive-bombed from the sky. Shockerite sidestepped that attack and walked right into Mermian's fist. A quick spin kick sent Shockerite flying into a fist cyclone courtesy of Golemian.

"Chew on this!" Shockerite launched six thunderbolts from the palm of his hand and they flew at the Zords.

Mermian got struck in the leg while Lionian absorbed the energy. The Avian was shot form the air and crashed into a malfunctioning Golemian. Phoenixian ducked the bolt and Bearian flew into Mermian from the energy.

Jace spat out a Japanese curse as he screamed in pain. "It went through my leg!"

"I'll bounce back in a minute." Adriana announced.

"This is ridiculous!" Alex said. "I'm out for a few minutes because of the hit."

"Ready for action." Lina said.

"I'm out for a sec." Cassy piped.

"I managed to avoid it. Let's charge Thunder." Justin advised.

"Right."

Lionian charged forward, tackling Shockerite. The monster punched forward, but the attack lost its power when Phoenixian appeared overhead and slammed two feet into the Shockerite's cranium. He then leapt off and swung his torso around.

"Please." Justin whispered from inside his Zord. He pointed his hands toward Shockerite and held them as if holding his Turbo Hand Blasters. Squeezing where the triggers would be, Justin gaped in shock as two beams of orange energy launched from his hands and into Shockerite. The monster was blown back, but not before shooting various bolts of energy into the sky.

"Cancel that storm now Thunder." Justin screamed. "It'll wipe out a huge section of the city!"

"Got it!" Lionian jumped into the air as Phoenixian turned towards Shockerite.

"Let's go!" The orange Zord charged forward as Shockerite started to form an orb in his hands.

"Kiyaa!" Golemian, Bearian, and Avian appeared out of no where and launched a combined combo, with quick strike and heavy smashes weakening the monster in time for Phoenixian's final strike.

"Charge of the Phoenix!" The Phoenixian grew a bright orange as a sword appeared in its hands. The charge was strong and deadly as the wings gave a boost of speed and power. When the sword connected with Shockerite, a flash occurred and Phoenixian was seen on the other side of Shockerite, sword disappearing into smoke. A second later, Shockerite exploded. While the blast dimmed down, Lionian appeared in front of Phoenixian.

"Storm gone and town modified." Lina reported.

"We have a problem!" Cassy's voice was frantic.

"What's wrong?" Both Zords rushed over to the four remaining with Mermian on the ground.

"The bolt passed through Water's leg! Even with the Power, he's still in trouble." Adriana told them.

"Let's go back to the Control Base." Alex said as they all teleported with their Zords away.

Some last thoughts lingered on Justin's mind. These battles are hard. I don't think I could have handled it without these guys.

* * * * * * *

Mathais: Thanks for people's support!

Justin: Yep! Review please.

Jace: Hey! We've got a gift from a reviewer!

Mathais: That's the first time someone's done that for one of my stories!

Adriana: *comes in with a phoenix on her arm* Here's a phoenix for Justin and his name is Ruby.

Ruby: *flies off Adriana's arm and lands on Justin's*

Justin: Wow! Thanks pyogirl123!

Mathais: *sweatdrops* You might want to get a disclaimer for Fou-Lu though.

Cassy: *hands some papers to Mathais* Some of the reviewers have questions.

Mathais: *looking over the questions* Hey, some of these aren't for this fic! Did you get them from all my boxes? Anyway, where are Lina and Alex?

Jace: They're off somewhere. Best not disturb them.

Mathais: Right. I would have had this up earlier, but my 13th birthday on the 8th made me lazy.

Lord Toei Of Omnina ~ I won't make Justin a rebel, I promise.

Philip ~ Some people would "flame" this story because they might not like such young children being rangers, they don't like Justin, or yell at me for being clich¨¦.

DG1988 ~ *looks sheepish* I forgot about the soccer episodes. You'll be glad to know that little scene is cleared up.

Justin: *stroking Ruby on the head* Bai!

Mathais: Oh yeah! That chain scene, whoever can tell me where I got the words from, gets a cookie.
