Two Imperial guards landed inside a crater on the surface of the moon, they try to get up but were knock back down by two more guard that landed in top of them. Two more guards ran past the crater heading straight for the red time force rangers. Wes had his back turn away from them he was busy fighting of Imperial Guards. The two guard drew out there blaster and pointed it at Wes. Wes quickly turn around calling upon his Chrono saber. He slash the two guards weapons in half and then he use his chrono saber to slash the guard in half making them disappear. After that it went quiet as hundred of imperial guards surrounded the red ranger. Wes smiled under his helmet he laugh evilly, his laugh echo threw the whole moon. He stood still waiting for them to make the first move and they did. All at once from every direction guards launch themselves at the ranger. Wes wasted no time and started slashing, blasting, and kicking the guards. With in seconds Wes stop and stood still. Behind him all at once the guard felt to the floor exploding. Wes demorph and walk toward the mess he just made smiling proudly at his handy work. He heard clapping and turn around to see Vile and Rita walking to him. Wes immediately got on his knee and bow his head.
"Very impressive Wesley. You truly are a skill fighter," Vile said.
"Thank you my lord," Wes said still kneeling. "Whit your permission I would like to go after the Quantum Ranger and get rid of him once and for all."
"All in due time my boy," Vile assure him.
"Yes my Lord as you wish," Wes responded.
"Come, there is something I want to give you," Vile said.
Wes got up and nodded. Rita extended her hand and Wes grab it. The three of them walk of heading back to the moon palace.

Zed walk in a circle on the desert with both of his hands behind his back. It was a very hot day and the desert was scorching hot, but Zed suit protected him from the weather around him. His mind was somewhere else his thought were back on the moon. The thought of Rita and that pretty boy rangers made his blood boil. If he could not have Wes he will take it out his frustration on Eric and any other ranger that stand in his way. He was getting impatient he look around to see all of the guards still working locating Eric.
"Hurry up your worthless excuse for soldier I want them found now!" Zed yell.
The guard started working more quickly.
He stare at them he thought maybe yelling might make him feel better but it didn't, he still felt the same. He let out an angry sight and continue to walk in a circle with his hand behind his back.

"Holy crap Billy! I can't believe is really you! Last thing I heard you marry some fish lady." Zack said as he hug Billy.
"Billy why are you back I thought everything was going great in Aquitar?" Adam ask.
"I had to come back I made a promise to Zordan," Billy answer.
"A promise? What kind of promise?" Zack ask.
"Am guessing Eric has not inform you of the situation in hand." Billy said.
"No he has not said much of anything," Adam replied.
The Alarm suddenly went of, it blare threw the whole facility.
"That one thing I did not miss," Adam complain.
The six of them walk to the main console, Billy started inputing commands into the console.
"This is not good," Billy said out loud
"What is it?" Eric ask.
"Vile guards and Zed there outside. If they find the entrance to the power chamber we are all doom." Billy answer.
Billy press a few more button on the console to activate the video feed on the monitor they could see Zed still walking in a circle with his hand behind his back while the guards search the desert.
"Wait Vile!" Adam said in a panic.
"Zed? I thought Zordan energy wave turn him good," Zack added.
"When did they get back? What going on hear? What promise did you made to Zordan?" Adam insisted.
"I made a promise to Zordan to come back when the time came to help a team of ranger to defeat a great evil. With the return of Vile, Zed and Rita I am sure this is the great evil Zordan warning me about," Billy answer.
"But what rangers are you talking about? None of us no longer have any powers. I think Mr. Cool over there is the only one who still have access to the morphin power," Zack said as he pointed at Eric.
Eric just glare at him Zack glare back with a playful smile and gave him a wink before turning back to listen to Billy was about to say.
"That might be so but I have a way to grant you power back if you accept the responsibility of being rangers again." Billy answer
Adam and Zack exchange glance they were not sure what to say. Ever since they left the ranger world they been waiting for a chance to get back and now they were getting that chance. But was this what they really wanted, or was it just a fantasy they love to have but never live?
"What do you say guys? Am offering a chance to become rangers again, but am not going to lie to you what lay ahead is very dangerous way more dangerous that the time you guys spent as rangers in the past. I know you have lives now and I will understand if you turn this down." Billy said.
"Is not that Billy," Zack said, "It's just...it been a very long time since I been a ranger plus am older now, I don't know if I will be able to do this. I don't want to let you guys down." Zack said.
Billy walk up to his old friend and put his hand on his shoulder
"Zack there is a reason Zordan pick you and there a reason you decided to come hear today. It was not by chance all this has been for told. You are meant for this and Zack you will not let anyone down you never have, I have the out most confidence in you." Billy answer.
Zack smile at his friend.
"Thanks Billy, am in is time for the Zack man to get back to action," Zack said firmly.
"Am glad to hear it," Billy said with a smile on his face.
"How about you Adam?" Ask Billy.
"You know you can count on me am going to let the Zack man have all the fun," Adam said as he punch Zack playfully on his shoulder.
Billy smile at both of them and then turn to look at Jen.
"I know your Time force morpher was recently destroy in a battle, and I know you can't get it repair because Time Force does not know you are hear." Billy said. "I have way to fix all that Jen." Billy continue. "Would you like to join the team as a ranger?" Billy ask Jen.
Jen smile and simply said yes and walk to join Zack and Adam.
Eric just stood back with his hands cross across his chest listening and watching.
Jen, Zack, and Adam stood in front of Billy looking excited.
Ransik walk up with a small plain black briefcase and open it up.
"Guys take a look at your new Quantum Morphers," Billy said.
"Inside the briefcase were four Quantum morpher identical to Eric's. The only difference were the color combination.
"Wow they are amazing," Zack said with a look of amazement in there face. "Way more style than the old power morpher," Zack said.
"Quantum morphers? But how Time force created only one Quantum morphers." Jen said.
"No they created more than one, it a long story that I will be happy to tell you later but right now we have to hurry and stop the guards and Zed before they find the entrance to the power chamber." Billy said.
Billy grab 3 out of the 4 morpher out of the briefcase and walk to were Adam, Jen and Zack were standing.
Billy haded Adam a black and green Quantum morpher.
"I always thought you look good in green," Billy said with a playful smile in his face," so from now on you will be know as the green Quantum Rangers," Billy said to Adam.
Adam took the morpher from Billy hand and strap it on to his writs, he admire it for a second before a big smile of happiness appear on his face.
Billy went down the line to Jen.
"Jen you prove yourself to be a great pink rangers as a Time Force Ranger and am sure you will be a great one as the Quantum Pink Ranger," Billy said as she handed her a pink and black Quantum morpher.
Jen took it and strap it on her wrist, and nodded at Billy.
"I wont let you down you can count on me, Jen said firmly.
Billy put his hand on her shoulder. "I know you won't," he said before moving to Zack.
"Am I back in black!" Zack said with a smile on his face.
"No is time for a color change," Billy said
Billy handed Zack a blue and black morpher.
"You are now the Blue Quantum Ranger, it a good color and there is no doubt in my mind that you will make it proud," Billy said.
Zack took the morpher and strap it on his wrist.
"Don't worry man you can count on me," Zack replied.
Jen look at the briefcase that Ransik was still holding up and notice the yellow Quantum morpher.
"What about the yellow morpher?" Jen ask.
Ransik close the briefcase.
"Unfortunately there is no candidates to receive the yellow Quantum power at the moment, so until we find one the yellow morpher will remain hear." Ransik said.
"How about you Billy why cant you become a ranger? I mean if you want the blue morpher you can have it i have no problem being yellow," Zack said.
"No that ok Zack even if I wanted to I would not be able to. I had and accident years ago that prevent me from harnessing ranger powers." Billy answer. "Don't worry we will find a yellow ranger but for now you guys need to get down there and defend the power chamber.
Eric step up from where he was standing.
"I think i might know some one," Eric said.

Taylor hung up the phone and lay back on the grass with her hand behind her head and stare at the sky letting her mind wonder. She was looking forward to getting together with the rest of the gang she miss them terribly, it been way to long since they all hang out. She was happy for Cole and Alyssa they been together for a while now and they were doing great. She secretly envy what they had, she really never had that and as much she hate to admit it she was lonely. Even Max and Danny had found themselves girlfriends and were happy. Taylor got up she was making her self sad and she did not like being sad. Her mood suddenly change to anger as Eric pop into her head.
"Asshole," Taylor said out loud.
The though of him made her so angry. He said a lot of thing to her. He made her believe that he loved her, but after he got what he wanted he left and stop calling her. When she try calling him he would always claim to be to busy to talk. After a while she gave up and stop calling him all together and move on. She really thought Eric was different, but he turn out to be just like every other asshole she dated. Taylor shook her head she was going to drive herself crazy if she sat there all day thinking. She decided to keep her mind busy by going back into the house and continue unpacking. She was about to get up when she heard the sound of static in the air. Out of no where a red streak of light appear a few feet in front of her. A man materialize out of the streak of red light and fell to the ground. The man got up rubbing his neck he had his back turn away from her.
"Dam it I don't know if I will be able to get use to that," the man complain.
"Um...hi are you ok?" Taylor ask.
Eric turn around to face her.
"Not really everything and everybody today seem to want to hurt me:" Eric answer.
With out warning Taylor sidekick Eric as hard as she could on his ribs.
Eric felt to the ground in pain.
"See what I mean," Eric said as he rub his ribs on the ground. "Nice to see you to sunshine." he added.
"What the hell are you doing hear Eric!" Taylor demanded.
"What? Can't I drop in to by to say hi? I miss you, you know," Eric said while still on the floor trying to recover from the kick her just receive.
Again with out warning Taylor kick Eric in the same spot she did before. Eric scream in pain.
"Am guessing you did not miss me as much," Eric manage to get out.
Taylor started walking away heading for the house.
"Am going in and by the time I come back out I expect you to be gone if you know what is good for you," Taylor said.
Wait, wait, Taylor pleas wait," Eric pleaded as he slowly got up from the ground.
"I have nothing to say to you Eric please leave," Taylor said as she continue walking toward the house.
"Taylor please give me 5 minute to hear what I have to say and then after that I will leave and you will never hear from me again I promise," Eric said.
Taylor stop, every instinct in her body told her to keep going but out of curiosity more than anything else she wanted to hear what Eric wanted to say. It must be something good if he decided to find her after all this year.
Taylor turn around to face Eric who was now standing up rubbing his ribs.
"Alright Eric you have five minutes..." Taylor said firmly.

"What the plan?" Ask Adam.
"We will take them by surprise," Jen said.
"Ummm guys," Zack said.
"Shhhhh Zack," Adam said, "We Don't want them to to hear us."
"Yeah Well, i think is a little bit to late for that," Zack said.
Adam and Jen turn around to see three imperial guards standing right behind.
"Shit," was all that Jen manage to get out.
The three guards try attacking the three rangers. Zack, Adam, or Jen had no problem in disposing the guard but the fight drew attention to them.
"Well, well well Zack, Adam it been a long time," Zed said.
"We come to take you down!" Adam said.
"Big word from a powerless rangers," Zed responded.
"Ready guys!" Jen said.
"Ready," Adam and Zack said and brought there morpher up to there mouth.
"QUANTUM POWER!" all three of them said at the same time.
They were surprise when nothing happen.
"What happen it didn't work," Adam said.
Zack press a button on his morpher.
"Billy I think this thing are broken," Zack said.
"They need to be activated, and the only who can do that is Eric." Billy answer.
"Dam it how come you did not warn us before we got out hear?" Zack ask.
"I try but you guys left before I could," Billy answer.
"Great so we are on our own," Adam said.
"You guys hold on," Ransik said over the communicator. "Eric should be on his way back just hold them of till he gets back."
"Awww what matter your toys Don't wanna work?" Zed said. "Well mine are working just fine."
Zed drew his sword out its holster and pointed it at the rangers. A shot of electricity shot out of the tip of the blade. The three ranger jump out of the way before the shots hit it's mark. Zed laugh evilly.
"Guards destroy them." Zed commanded.
The army of guard stood in front the three heroes.
"We are way over our heads hear guys," Adam said as he stood in fighting stance.
"We been in way worst before, we all have. This is nothing we can get out of this," Zack said as he stood in fighting stance watching the guards and waiting to see what they were going to do.
"I Don't care how many they are they are all going down," Jen said in a determine voice.

"So let me get this straight, you expect me to join a team of Quantum Ranger lead by you?" you must be out of you mind Myers. What make you think I would have part in anything that you are involve in?" Taylor yell angrily.
"Look Taylor this has nothing to do with me or you. This is bigger than us the fate of the universe depend on this," Eric said. "Am offering a chance to become a ranger again.
"Ha whatever not every x ranger want to be ranger again. Am happy with the life I have now. My ranger days are behind me and I expect them to stay there." Taylor shouted back.
"Look am sorry, I know what I did has no excuse and if I could take it back I would. I had my reason for doing what I did reason you will probably not understand. But please Taylor can we please put that aside for right now for the sake of the Earth for the sake of the universe. I need you Taylor, the team need you. Please come back to power chamber with me." Eric pleaded.
"Well that sorry is a little bit to late Eric. Nothing you can say can make me forgive you. Am sorry but you are going to have to find some one else. I heard what you have to say now keep your word and leave and never come back." Taylor said coldly.
Eric had a sad and disappointed look on his face. He really was sorry he know what he did had no forgiveness but he needed her. He did not know why, he just knew he did. Something was telling him that she was the only one that would be able to handle the quantum yellow power.
"Ok fine am going, but before I do." Eric dig into his pocket and pull out a wrist communicator. "Hear he said in case you change your mind.
Taylor just look at him with a look of hatred and made no attempt to take it of his hands.
"Would you please leave," was all she said.
Eric jaw tighten and he simple drop the communicator on the ground in front of her and teleported out.
Taylor went inside and sat on the couch. She was really angry seeing Eric again had stir up a lot of emotion she had bury a long time ago she was in the verge of crying. She pick up the phone and dial Alyssa number. When Alyssa answer Taylor could not hold it in any longer. She broke down and started crying.
"Taylor? What going on are you ok," Alyssa ask in a concern voice.

"What wrong? You are scaring me Taylor. Sit tight me and Cole are coming over right away.," Alyssa said.
"No Don't that is not necessary I just need to talk," Taylor said.
"Am hear for you what going on Taylor," Alyssa ask.
"Well Eric was just hear..." Taylor started to say.

"Haya!" Zack said as he kick another Guard. Two more came at him. One of them came with a kick but Zack block it. He punch him in the stomach and grab one of the blaster the guard had in its holster and blasted the other guard. More guard came, Zack use the blaster to keep them away.
Adam ran by he was running away from a couple of guard who were shotting at him. This was not going so well Adam said in his head. He was tempted to use his old power morpher again but the last time he did it almost killed him. He stop and flip backward threw the air. He landed behind his two opponent. The two guard turn around, Adam jump in the air and double kick them making them fall backwards to the ground.
Jen was into her ears in guards. She was surrounded, one after another the guards kept coming but as fast as they came Jen dispose of them. Adam and Zack come over to help her the three of them fought of the guards with ease, but they were starting to grow tired.
"Man I don't know how long I can keep this up," Zack said as he kick a guard in the chest and blasted another one.
"We can't give up Zack," Adam said as he uppercut and sidekick a couple of guards.
Eric materialize in front of them, he spotted the rest of the rangers and ran to them.
"Eric oh god am I glad to see you," Zack said.
"Did you find her?" Jen ask.
"Yeah but it a no go, I guess we are going have to find another person to become the yellow ranger," Eric answer.
Eric look at the guard that were standing in front of them getting ready to attack at any moment.
"It time we finish this guys of, it time to unlock those morphers," Eric said.
"Eric are you there?" Billy voice said threw Eric morpher.
Eric brought his morpher up to his face.
"This is Eric," he said plainly.
"Were you successful in finding a suitable candidate for the yellow Quantum morpher?" Billy ask.
"No, she is out," Eric said.
"Then there is a problem," Billy said.
"Great what now?"Eric said sounding annoyed.
"All Quantum morphers must be activated at once, meaning unless we find a yellow ranger you wont be able to activate any of the morphers," Billy answer.
"Great," was all that Eric said..
"Guys, back to the Power Chamber I will deal with this," Eric said.
"No way, am staying," Jen said.
"Me to power or not we are ranger now and rangers don't leave there own behind," Adam said as he put his hand on Eric shoulder.
"Yeah we might not have the cool spandex but we are not about to leave you hear to fight by yourself," Zack added.
Eric smile at them. "Alright then team let send this guys back where they come from."
And with that the four of them launch themselves into battle.

"So what did you say?" Alyssa ask.
"No! What else was I suppose to do? Am not going to join a ranger team with Eric. Especially if he is the leader." Taylor answer.
Taylor was laying on her couch staring at celling talking to Alyssa on the phone. She had calm down from her earlier break down and was now feeling confuse not sure on what was she suppose to do..
"Don't you think you should at least think about it?" Alyssa ask.
"What is there to think about?" Taylor responded.
"Well umm maybe the fate of the Earth, the galaxy, the universe," Alyssa responded.
"Am sure they will be able to find some one else," Taylor answer.
Alyssa went silent for a few second.
"Taylor do you remember when Cole when to that mission on the moon to help all those red rangers?" Alyssa ask.
"How can I forget that all he talk about for weeks," Taylor said with a chuckle.
"Well one of the rangers was a man by the name of Tommy Oliver he was the red zeo rangers. He is suppose to the greatest ranger that ever live. Anyway he and Cole started hanging out after the mission. Cole wanted to learn everything about being a red ranger from him. One of the thing Tommy told Cole was that the power choses you, you don't chose the power. When we became Wild Force Rangers we did not chose the power the power chose us." Alyssa said.
"Where are you going with this?" Taylor ask.
"The Quantum power choose you Taylor. You might not like it but you are the only that can harness that power correctly. You are the missing link in that team if you refuse to take on the power then the ranger will surly lose and Evil will win," Alyssa said. "All am asking is for you to think about before you say no ok?"
Taylor when quiet the word Alyssa just said ran threw her mind.
"Taylor? Hello Taylor. Are you still there," Alyssa ask.
"Yeah sorry am hear," Taylor said as she snap out of her trance. "Am just getting kind of tired it been a long day."
"Ok well ill let you go then," Alyssa said.
"Thanks for listening," Taylor said.
"Anytime that what friend are for," Alyssa answer.
"Talk to you latter," Taylor said
"Bye," Alyssa responded.
Taylor hung up the phone and lay on her couch for a few more minutes thinking to herself.
Was she right? Taylor ask herself.
She got up and walk back outside. The sun was started to set she stare into the horizon watching the sun set until something caught her eye. Ont ground in front of her she saw a metallic object that look like some kind of watch or bracelet. Then she remember Eric try to handed to her but she refuse to take it. What did he call it, she thought.
"A communicator," she said out loud.
She brush her long blond hair behind her ear with her hands and examine it the bracelet. How do you use this, she thought.
She examine the communicator with her eyes. She notice a button on the bracelet that said set. She proceeded to press it and she disappear in a streak of yellow light.

Billy and Ransik were running from computer terminal to computer terminal.
"Anything yet?" Ransik ask.
"No the computer need time to work for the best possible candidates," Billy answer.
"How long is that going to take?" Ransik ask.
"Hours maybe days, it's reviewing everyone in the planet that not and easy task," Billy said.
"Well we don't have that kind of time, the rangers are getting there buts kick out there," Ransik said.
"There is nothing we can do." Billy answer.
"I think you should take the last Quantum Morpher," Ransik suggested.
"Huh? No, I mean I cant because of that little accident I cant harness ranger energy anymore," Billy answer.
"Billy don't play dumb with me I know more than you think I know," Ransik said.
"Billy stop what he was doing and look at Ransik.
"What are you talking about," Billy said with a worry look.
"I know everything. What happen in Aquitar. I know what you were doing or should i say became during Zordan's last days." Ransik added.
Suddenly Billy became very nervous he felt his whole body getting hot his palm started to sweat. "I...I...I." was all he manage to get out. But luckily for him there conversation was interrupted by a Taylor she materialize from a streak of yellow light in the middle of the Power Chamber.
"Wow what a ride!" Taylor said excitedly
"Taylor Earhardt I presume?" Billy ask.
"Yeah...but who are you?" Taylor ask.
"Am Billy and this is..."
"Ransik!" Taylor said excitedly as she ran up to him and hug him. "What are you doing hear I though you guys went back to the future?" Taylor ask.
Ransik hug her back and chuckle. "It a long story one that we don't have the time to tell," Ransik said as he pointed at the view screen.
The screen show the Zack, Adam, Jen and Eric fighting the army of guard they were holding there own but there were way to many and they were starting to get overwhelm.
"As you can see the rangers need help, they are not complete with the yellow ranger," Ransik said. "Taylor I beg you to reconsider."
Taylor look at the screen in front of her. She saw Zack and Adam getting corner by 5 guards they look really exhausted.
"Am going out there," Taylor finally said.
Hear you will need this," Billy said as she threw her the yellow Quantum morpher.
Taylor catch it and smile. She put her morpher around her wrist.
"Ok am going to teleport you to the battle," Billy said.
Taylor nodded her head.
"Am ready." Taylor said firmly.
"May the power protect you," Billy press a few buttons on the computer console and Taylor teleported away.
Billy look and Ransik and let out a sight
"Ok how do you know? What do you know?" Billy ask Ransik.
"I know everything. When I use to be evil I got access to a lot of classified file from Time Force. One of the files was your file. It had everything about you. That how I know, what you are hiding from the other. The only thing I don't understand is why are you hiding it? They are your friends they will understand." Ransik said.
"I have my reasons. It's better of this way am better of hear. Am better of running thing in the power chamber," Billy said.
"Sometime the past catches up to you Billy and am not sure what are your reason for hating it so much but what am sure of is one day you will be needed again and the way thing are going it going to be more sooner than latter," Ransik answer.
He knew Ransik was right but he just wish that day would never come.
