Going back home
A solid black spaceship Zoom threw the darkness of space at light-speed. The space craft was small, only big enough to hold one passenger. A passenger by the name of William Cranston. He sat in front of the control panel not really looking at them. The ship was set on auto-pilot, Billy was feeling sleepy and tired his eyes felt heavy and as much as he tried he could not keep them open. As he drifted into sleep he thought about the promise he made to Zordan all those year ago.
1996
Billy stood in front of a computer in a lab located in on of the lower levels of the power chambers. A few feet in front of him was a metallic table with 4 metal boxes sitting in top of it. Next to the table was some kind of ray pointed at the metal boxes.
"Hear goes nothing," Billy said.
He punch a series of keys on the computer's keyboard. There was a low hum as the ray power up, after a few second a blast of white energy blasted out of the tip of the canon. It was stable at first but after a few minutes the canon started smoking. Billy started panicking he try to shut down the cannon but the command he inputed onto the computer console were not taking. The ray got stronger and more unstable Billy hit the floor right before the canon exploded.
After a few second Billy got up coughing loudly from the smoke that was all around him. He press a button on a console on a near by wall that activated vents all around the room. The vents open and immediately started sucking the smoke out of the room. After the room was clear of smoke Billy press another button on the wall console to close the vents. He made his way towered the table and what he saw made him smile.
Where the metallic boxes once were now stood 4 wrist morpher. Billy never seen anything like them he pick one up and examine it. He immediately went to work for the next few hours Billy work non stop. Until he heard the monster alarm blearing threw the intercom systems. He was annoy but he immediately headed for the Power Chamber to see what was going on.
Billy arrive at the Power Chamber right as Tommy finish his morphin call and disappear into a streak of red energy. Billy immediately headed for the main console and started typing away.
"Billy how is the project coming alone? Zordan ask.
"Unbelievable, the 4 metal boxes were some kind of holding mechanism that store morphers.
This morpher is unlike anything I ever seen Zordan. The only problem is something is blocking the connection to the morphin gird. Am currently working on trying to unblock it." Billy said.
"I see," Zordan said with a thoughtfully look on his face...
Weeks went by and Billy still had not made any progress in unlocking the morpher he was growing restless. His recent failure in not being able to harness the gold rangers power had affected him more than he show his friends. He been lying to himself all this time he miss being a power ranger more than anything and the fact that he could not be a ranger ever again was killing him. He look down at his work a solid black morpher similar to the other morpher that lay on the table. It seem pointless for him to continue to work on it. His head hurt it was late so he decided it was time to go home. He was about to teleport out when a familiar voice broke threw the intercom.
"Billy are you still down in the lab?" Zordan ask
Billy reach for his wrist communicator.
"Am still hear Zordan. What Wrong is everything ok?" Billy asking a concern voice
"Everything is fine Billy, I just need to have a word with you. Would you please report to the Power Chamber immediately." Zordan ask.
Billy made his way to the Power Chamber wondering why did Zordan wanted to speak to him at such a late hour.
"What up Zordan?" Billy ask as he step into the power chamber.
"Have you discover any new information on the morphers?" Zordan ask.
"No Zordan still had no luck in unblocking the connection to the morphin grid." Billy answer. " But I have a theory, somewhere out there must be a red morpher and is my belief that this red morpher is the key to unlocking them rest of them. With out the red morpher those thing are nothing but oversize paper weights."
Zordan did not answer.
"If we assume that ranger tradition still is kept or practice wherever this morpher came from then we know that they will be a sub team of 5 rangers. Color may vary but the color that will always be there is red. The leader of the team, am also assuming that the red box is the key to unlocking the rest of the morpher." Billy finish.
Zordan still did not answer.
"Zordan are you ok?" Billy ask.
"When I was growing up in Alter many eons ago, there was a book called the Book of Prophecy. This book was kept in a secret chamber and only high ranking morphin master were allowed to see it. It contain events that has not yet happen but will happen. At the time I was only a child and was a bit on the rebellious side. One day I decided I wanted to take a look at this book out of curiosity more than anything else. One of the prophecy that I remember reading was the one of a great evil. That will be unleash on planet Earth, the book was sketchy on the exact events but from what I remember a team of heroes from the past will raise using great power from the future to stop this great evil. A great battle will be fought and the outcome will determine the fate of the universe." Zordan said.
Billy did not say a word just stood silently listening and thinking to himself.
There was one more thing that the book mention. This Team would be lead by a great powerful wizard and worrier. With the knowledge of the ages and the warrior skill of a morphin master. I have always believe Billy that this great Wizard the book mention is you." Zordan said.
"Billy you have to promise me this, when the great evil arises you must come no matter where you are at. You must come and help the team of heroes that will battle this great evil. You are very important in this, I fear with out you this great evil will win and the Universe will be doom." Zordan finish.
"I...I...I don't know. I mean how are you certain is me?" Billy ask.
"I know is you Billy I have always know ever since you first step foot in the Command Center all those year ago. You are distance for great things. You have to promise me Billy that once this great evil manifest itself you will come and help it stop it." Zordan persisted.
"Billy hesitated for a second before saying yes.
"Yes Zordan I promise," Billy said firmly.
"I thank you Billy with your help the side of good will be victorious," Zordan said.
I hope you are right,Billy said under his breath.
Billy headed back to the lab. He stare at the morpher on the table for a long time before going over and picking them up. He pick all four of them and headed to the Zord bay. When he got there he open a chamber that was hidden behind the green ranger Zeo Zord and store the morpher. He headed back to the lab and saw the black morpher his been working still on the table. He dug out a black briefcase and store the morpher in it, he close the briefcase and set to the side and went home for the night...

Present Day
Master Vile Storm into the main throne room in the moon palace.
"What is the meaning of this!" Master Vile yell his voice carry threw the whole building.
Broodwing was sitting on Vile throne with his leg cross. As soon as he heard Vile he spun around on vile chair.
"AH sire how are you?" Broodwing ask in and amusingly voice.
"What is the meaning of this how dare you sit and come into my chamber with out notice!" Vile scream in rage.
Broodwing ignore Vile rage and simply got up and calmly walks into the balcony with his hand behind his back and stare at the Earth.
"I have some information," he said calmly.
"I don't care what you have you are to leave the premises immediately before I feed you to my daughter snake!" Vile demanded.
Vile wasted not time and turn around to get his guard to escort him out.
"It's about the Quantum morphers." Broodwing said.
Vile suddenly stop and turn around to face Broodwing who was still standing in the balcony with his hand behind his back staring at the Earth.
"Morphers! Did you say morphers? As in more than one!" Vile ask in astonishment.
Broodwing turn around to face Vile.
"Yes more than one." Broodwing plainly said.
"Tell me everything you know!" Vile demanded.
"I'll be happy to my evilness... well for the right price of course." Broodwing responded.
Vile was annoyed but agree.
"Fine, now tell me everything you know." Vile said.
"Gladly," Broodwing responded. "It has recently come to my attention that there are four more quantum morpher still out there and Eric is on his way to retrieve them"
"What? How could this be!" Vile yell in rage.
"It a long story one that is irrelevant at the moment, your main concern right now should be stopping Eric from reaching those morpher. If he do your plans to take over the Earth and then the universe will be ruin." Broodwing answer.
Vile got even angrier he was not going to let Eric get away with it. He would do anything in his power to stop him.
"Where are this morpher," Vile ask Broodwing.
"That I don't know, but what I do know is that Eric is in the angel grove dessert heading north in search of them," Broodwing answer.
"I will destroy him before he retrieve those morpher," Vile said in rage.
"I have my out most confidence in you sire, but Eric is very resourceful don't you think you should insure your victory?" Broodwing ask.
Vile stare at Broodwing. "Am guessing you already have something in mind, something that will cost me money." Vile responded.
Broodwing laugh in amusement, "Indeed I do. I have taken the liberty in building you something you might find useful." Broodwing said. "If you are so kind to look out the balcony."
Master Vile did as he ask and look out the balcony. On the surface of the moon there was hundreds of small skull shape ships. Identical to Vile Space Skull just smaller in size.
"What you are looking at are smaller version of your own ship my evilness," Broodwing said. "Smaller in size but double the fire power. With these at your disposal you are sure to win."
"Fine," Master Vile said. "Put it on my tab."
"Gladly Sire," Broodwing responded.

He found himself in a small cell the wall were gray and it was poorly lit he was still in his hospital gown. He tried to sit up with no luck he lay there in for a couple of more minutes before he tried again and this time he succeeded. He sat up on the small cot. He try to make out the rest of the small cell but his head was still spinning. He reach for his morpher to try to contact Eric but to his surprise his morpher was no longer on his wrist. He curse under his breath before leaning back and resting his back against the dirty gray wall. He was about to close his eye when he saw something move across the cell. As quickly as his body would aloud him he sat back up and try to focus on whatever was moving across from him.
On the other side a body was moving it got up from a cot identical to the one Wes was laying on. The person brush it long hair away from it face before it got up and started walking towered Wes.
"Who is there? Stay back," Wes said in a weak voice.
As the person got closer Wes got a good luck at her it was a girl, a really beautiful girl.
"Am sorry, if I startle you," She said with a warm friendly smile. "My name is Rita."
"It's ok Rita you just caught me of guard," Wes said as he fell back.
Rita quickly try to help him up. "Are you ok?" She ask Wes.
"Am not sure," he answer back.
"Hear let me help you up." Rita said as she grab Wes.
"How did you end up hear anyway?" Wes ask.
"I don't know one minute I am at my home next think I know am hear," she answer back.
Rita look straight into Wes eyes and then try to kiss him. Wes lean his head back.
"Hey what are you doing!" Wes ask confuse.
"Oh am sorry," Rita said looking embarrass. "You just so handsome I could not help myself."
Wes let out a chuckle.
"Thank," Wes answer back.
"Don't you think am attractive?" Rita ask him.
"Well yeah of course your are a very beautiful girl."
"Well then kiss me," Rita said in a seductive voice.
"Well...Um...I" For some reason her word just stuck in his mind there was just something about her she seem so beautiful it was almost like she was mentally pulling him towered her against his will, he was inches away from her lips when and image of Jen appear in his mind and he snap out of it.
"Wait no we can't do this. Is not right." Wes said.
Rita seem a little bit annoyed by Wes but it faded and a evil seductive smile appear on her face. She extended her hand and slowly caress Wes cheeks.
"Come on Wes you know you want me just give in no one will ever find out," Rita said as she continue to caress Wes face and chest.
There was something about her voice that Wes could not resist it was like each word she said cast a spell over him and he found himself moving closer to her against his will and the next thing he knew his lips and her lips were lock in a kiss. As soon there lips lock Wes felt his body getting stronger all his injury were healing by them selves. Then she stop and stood back. At first Wes was confuse by what just happen but out of nowhere the pain came. It was the worst pain he had ever felt in his life it was all over his body but it hurt more in his head. He scream loudly scream of pain and torture. He fell to the floor and onto his knees. He could feel the memory of his friend and his love one being corrupted and twisted he try desperately to fight of whatever force was doing it but at the end he fail. Slowly everybody he loved and care for was becoming his enemies after a few minute Wes collapse on the floor.
Rita smile and laugh evilly in pleasure.
"Get up my slave!" She commanded.
Wes eye open and he did as she commanded.
His eye flash red for a second before returning to normal.
"Wes who do you serve?" Rita ask.
"I serve Master Vile he is my master and you my impress you are my soul and my lover you are the most beautiful girl no one can compare to your beauty," Wes answer.
Rita smiled, she was please with herself.
"Who are your enemy," Rita ask Wes.
"Eric, Jen, and the Power ranger and any one who stand in Master Vile and your way," Wes answer.
"Good," Rita said.
She grab Wes by the hand and they both walk out of cell hand in hand.
In a dark corner of the hall Zed was leaning against a wall whit his hand cross across his chest. He just watch the whole thing and frankly it disgusted him. Last thing he wanted to do was work with one of those costume freaks, but what made him even angrier was seeing the power brat and Rita together. He let out and angry grunt before heading out towered the exit and onto the moon surface.

"Are you sure we are going to right way? Do you even know how to read that? I could have swore we been threw hear already." Eric complain.
"Is a desert Eric! Of course everything look the same!" Jen shouted back.
"Whatever give me that let me take a look at it." Eric said as he try to reach for the turbo navigator that Jen was holding.
"No," Jen said as she move the navigator away from Eric reach.
"Hey give Jen!" Eric yell at her.
As they started to argue Ransik roll his eyes in the back seat of the car. The constant arguing was giving him a migraine. He was about to say something when suddenly two powerful rays hit the sand in front him. Eric swerve as two more shoots were fired. Eric wasted no time in taking of.
"What going one! Who is shooting at us!" Jen yell.
Several more shots were fired and Eric barely miss them. Ransik turn around to look out the back window above him he saw several skull shape ship flying towered them.
"Does not look good guys," Ransik said. "Look like Vile he must be on to us."
More shoot were fired and Eric kept avoid them. Eric was speeding threw the dessert desperately trying to lose the incoming ships but who was he kidding he was in and open field there is no way he was going to lose them.
"We have to do something we cant run forever," Eric suddenly said.
Outside finally one of the shoot hit it mark, right on the hood of Eric vehicle the truck spin out of control before it finally stop. luckily no one got hurt they all got out slowly.
"Is everybody ok?" Eric ask.
Both Jen and Ransik shoot there head.
"Guys look!" Jen said as she pointed at the sky above them with her finger.
Above them descending from the clouds where at least 100s of skull battle ships. Hovering over them.
"What do we do now?" Jen ask.
"We run!" Ransik said.
All three of them took of as a rocket, the ships took of after them.
"They are gaining on us!" Jen yell in fear.
Eric stop running and turn around to face them.
Jen notice and stop as well.
"Come Eric are you crazy what are you doing! You are going to get kill!" Jen yell at him.
"Come on Eric we have to find some where safe to hide." Ransik add it.
Eric did not answer but instead brought his morpher up to his mouth and yell out...Q-REX ARISE!
The ground tremble as the humongous mechanical zord approach. It stop behind Eric and roar loudly it even sounded a angry. The ships stop and hover staring at the humongous mechanical dinosaur. Eric smile happily to himself.
"Is if a battle you want then is a battle you will get," Eric said and once more brought his morpher to his mouth. "Q-Rex destroy them."
The dinosaur roar once more before running toward its opponent for a moment the ship did not know what to do, they quickly open fire upon the giant zord but the shoot did not effect it. Before they had time to retreat the giant zord swung his arm at them and took out a dozen of them with it claws. He shoot more down with his shoulder blaster. More ship descended from the sky and headed straight for the Q Rex. As Q Rex kept the busy Eric, Jen and Ransik took that opportunity to get away as far as possible.
"How far are we from entrance?" Eric ask Jen.
Jen pull the Turbo navigator out of her jacket pocket and open it up she push a series of button to bring up the map.
"According to this we are hear right under it," Jen responded.
They all started looking around trying to find any kind of opening. Eric was walking around looking around till he felt something weird under his feet. He look down and stomp his feet on the sand and he felt something metallic under his feet. He got on his knee and felt around the sand with his hands. His hand found some kind of trap door hiding in the sand. He brush the sand of the top and he uncover a small hatch he found the handle and after struggling for a few second he manage to get it open.
"Guys over hear," Eric called.
Jen and Ransik walk towards Eric.
"I found it," Eric said.
The opening was pitch black Eric reach in his back pocket and pulled out a flashlight. He switch it one and pointed it at the opening.
"Lady first," Eric said.
"Jen start climbing down the ladder that lead them down. Then Ransik fallow, then Eric. Eric look around to make sure no one had spotted them. When he was sure they were unnoticed he close the hatch.
The between the Q-Rex and the skull battle ship continue more and more ships came down trying to take the large beast down but nothing they did affected it. Suddenly the Q Rex stop fighting and started walking away back to its hiding place. The skull ship seem confuse. Suddenly Zed appear on the sand above.
"You fool you let them escape!" Zed yell angrily.
The remaining ships landing on the desert and the imperial guard that were driving them excited there ships to face Zed.
"Well don't you stand there find them!" Zed command it.
The guard did as they were told and intimidated started searching the desert for them.
XoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxX
Eric reach the bottom and started examine his surrounding with his flashlight.
"So this is the famous Command Center," Jen said out loud.
"I think they call it a Power Chamber," Eric said.
"Oh that right the Command Center was destroy by Divatox and the Power Chamber was built in its place," Jen responded.
"Enough with the history lesson, let get what we came hear to get and go before those things outside find us," Eric complain.
Eric pointed his flashlight at the long corridor that stood in front of them and started walking Jen and Ransik follow. Suddenly Eric flashlight went dead. Eric shook the flashlight and hit it against the palm of his hand a few times.
"Great is out of batteries," Eric said out loud.
"We should be ok theres emergency lights on the sealing they don't provide much light but we should be fine," Jen said.
The three of then continue walking when they heard a distance mumble coming from somewhere ahead of them.
"Do you guys hear that?" ask Ransik.
"Yeah it sound like voices. We are not alone some is in hear," Jen answer.
"Keep yours eyes peel it could be one of Vile goon be ready let try to take who ever it is by surprise," Eric said.
The 3 of them continue walking as quietly as they could and the more they walk the more the mumble became louder and soon they were able to make out what the voices were saying.
"Maybe is broken, or you forgot the password," one the voices said.
"I don't think so i was hear not to long ago and it work just fine there something else is up," the other voice responded.
"Huh I don't know what to say I have not been hear since I left maybe some one change the password." the first voice suggested
"There is only a few people that know about this place and I still talk to all of them if they came back hear and for some reason change the password they would have pass it on," the other voice answer.
There conversation was interrupted by Eric he step out of the shadows and stood under one of the emergency lights pointing his Quantum defender at the two figure.
"Hold it right there," Eric said.
The two figure turn around to face Eric.
"Wow man put that down," one of the voices said.
"Am commander Myer from the Silver guardian and your are trespassing on public property put your hand behind your head and lay face down on the ground now!" Eric commanded.
"Trespassing? I think you got it all wrong?"
before Eric could answer one of the figure threw something he had in his hand at Eric knocking his weapon out of his hands. Eric did not have time to react in second the two figure were on him. Kicking and punching Eric started defending himself. He kept blocking most of there attacks he was not getting to many hits in.
Jen bend down to pick up Eric Quantum Defender of the grown when she notice a silver box laying next to Eric weapon she pick up and turn in around she found a gold coin inserted in the middle of the box with a carving of a mastodon she gasp as she realize what it was.
Ransik kneel down next to her.
"Is that a power morpher?" Ransik ask.
Jen got up and turn into direction were Eric was fighting the two figure.
"Eric stop, you guys have to stop!" Jen yell.
"Am kind of busy hear Jen," Eric said as he block another kick and punch.
"Eric you have to listen to me, those guys are Power Ranger the original Earth Rangers, Zordan Children" Jen responded.
"What!" Eric said before he got kick hard in the chest and felt back hitting the ground violently. Eric grab his Chest in pain.
The two figure step into the light one of them had short spike hair he was Asian and was clean shave he wore a green shirt and a pair of blue jeans. The second figure was African American and had a bold head and was wearing a white shirt with black jeans.
"Zack Taylor, original black mighty morphin power rangers, Adam park, took over after Zack left to a peace conference as the black ranger then after the power coin were destroy you became the green zeo ranger and latter the green turbo ranger. It is and honer to meet you guys," Jen said.
"Who are and how do you know all this?" Adam demanded.
"My name is Jen Scot am the pink time force ranger this is my friend Ransik and you already meet Eric he is the quantum ranger." Jen responded.
"You guys are Rangers?" Zack ask as he help Eric to get up of the floor.
"Yeah," Eric said as he rub the back of his neck.
"Hey man sorry about ganging up on your like that." Adam said.
"It ok I would have done the same thing," Eric replied.
Jen walk to Adam and handed him his old burn morpher.
"Hear this is yours," Jen said
Adam took it of her hand and smirk sadly.
"Thanks," Adam said, "At least it's good for something.
"So what are you doing hear? I mean only the ranger who serve under Zordan know about this place? How did you find it?" Zack ask.
"Were hear in search of something," Eric responded as he walk toward the electric metal door.
"What are you searching for? There is nothing hear but memories," Adam responded.
Eric said nothing but signal for Jen to throw him the turbo navigator. She did as he ask and Eric open the face and type in a sequence of command. He then close the navigator and thew it back to Jen. He walk to a small key pad that was near the metallic door and inputed a password. The metallic door slowly open.
"Hey how did you do that?" Adam ask.
"Come on guys lets go," Eric said as he enter the open door.
They all follow him in, the room was dark none of the emergency lights seem to be working, the only lights were coming from a few console around the room.
"Hey Adam didn't you this place was totally destroy by Divatox?" Zack ask.
"It was," Adam said.
"Well I know it really dark but this place does not look destroy to me,"
"Suddenly there a sudden hum and the lights came on they all turn around to see Jen at one of the console smiling.
"That take care of that problem," Jen said.
Adam eyes became wide as he absorb his surrounding's. indeed the power chamber had no sign of ever been destroy everything was the same as he remember the only thing missing was Zordan tube. The tube was gone a plain silver wall stood in its place.
"What going who rebuild this place and for what purpose?" Adam ask out loud.
"I don't know man, but I know of only one person who could pull this of," Zack said.
Suddenly a door behind them open and a figure step out, they all turn around to see Billy standing there with a smile on his face.
A happy smile came across Zack and Adams face.
"Billy is that really you?" Zack ask.
"Yes Zack, it good to see you guy and this time am back for good...
