Justin's decision

He didn't regret his decision to remain on the earth with his father. Just like he never regretted taking back his turbo powers to help out the Astro ranger team with their fight against Astronema.

That night though is what caused his entire world to fall down around him.

His father came to his room that morning and they went fishing—but Justin vanished repeatedly over the next few months as the 'Solo Ranger' was born. That last night he had been climbing through his bedroom window when he noticed the TV blaring in the living room.

He had come home and had found Mrs. Nell sitting in front of the late news. She was the one who had told me that my father had been killed in a car accident that afternoon.

What got to him though was that his father had only been going four miles above the speed limit. While Justin, had gone up to speeds like mach one and even up to mach four and drove with skill and ease.

"Mr. Stewart, please do not daydream at the breakfast table," Mrs. Greer said in a disapproving voice as she looked at the orphaned teen. "Why don't you go outside and play with the other children?" she suggested kindly, motioning to the fence in playground.

"No thank you," replied the ranger as he headed back toward the room that he shared with two other boys: Tony Brock age 13, and Sammy Price age 15. "Please be empty," he whispered softly as he opened the door and peeked inside.

"Thank you Zordon," he sighed but his peace was short lived as he noticed a figure emerging from the shadows. "What the…" Justin started to back away from the figure but as he looked closer at the black armored being he was hit with a wave of recognition.

"Phantom!"
