Quantum Power
Eric hit the ground hard after a guard sucker punch him in his face. Two Guards pick him up by his arms and held him, Eric struggle to get free with no luck. A third guard walk up to the struggling Eric and examine him with his eyes. He seem please and with out notice the guard started beating him, punching Eric in the stomach and face. Suddenly the guard felt some one tap him on his shoulder. When he turn around all he saw was Zack fist. The guard fell hard on the ground. Zack kick one of the guards that was holding Eric, then Eric dispose the other one. Adam and Jen join Zack and Eric they stood huddle together breathing hard.
"I been in Hollywood way to long, I forgot how hard the real thing is," Adam said as he tried to catch his breath.
"Guys we cant give up we have to keep fighting," Eric said as he stood in front of his team getting in fighting stance to face another pack of guards.
A yellow light descended from the sky and landed in front of Eric, Taylor materialize from the light.
Eric could not believe his eyes, "she actually came" Eric said under his breath.
"Who is that?" Zack said out loud.
Adam smile and pointed at the morpher she had strap on her wrist, "she is the new yellow ranger," Adam said excitedly. "Billy must have come threw for us."
Taylor turn around. "So are we just going to stand hear or are we going to go out there and kick some but!" she said excitedly.
"I don't know who she is but I like her," Zack said with a smile on his face.
"Taylor!" Jen said as she run up to her friend.
"There will be time for catching up latter," Eric said. "We have a job to do, lets activate those morphers."
The four of them nodded there heads and stuck out there wrist with the morpher. Eric brought his morpher to his face.
"Activate quantum morphers," Eric said into his morpher and stuck his arm out.
"There was a series of click that came from Eric morpher and then a yellow, pink, green and blue lights emerge from his morpher. The light circle around the five rangers for a few second before each light settle into the rangers morphers.
Adam, Jen, Zack, and Taylor morpher lit up.
"Morphers activated," a voice that came from the morphers said.
The five rangers walk side by side heading for the remaining guards and Zed.
Zed laugh evilly as they approach.
"I see a fifth one show up, how stupid of her," Zed taunted. "Give it up, there is no way you are going to defeat me."
"Eric took a few step forward and brought his morpher up to his face.
"Ready guys!" Eric said.
"Ready!" the rest of the rangers said at the same time as they brought there morpher up.
"QUANTUM POWER!" the five of them said at the same time.
The morphin energy engulf there body. The energy got so bright that Zed and his goons had to shield there eyes.
When the lights faded what stood in-front of Zed made his blood boil, five new quantum rangers. The new rangers suit were similar to the time force rangers suit. There ranger color were a darker shade. The visor on their helmet were black while the rest of their helmet was there assign ranger color. The outline of the arrow symbol on their chest was black just like on Eric suit. Strap on the their belt were quantum blaster they look like futuristic Welther CP 99 laser gun.
"Wow it works," Zack said in excitement as he look at his morph hand. "Cool blue and the rangers are back!"
"Quantum pink!" Jen said.
"Quantum yellow!" Taylor said.
"Quantum Green!" Adam said.
"Quantum Blue!" Zack said.
"Quantum red!" Eric finish. "Is time for you to go home Zed," Eric taunted.
"Hahahaah," Zed laugh evilly. "Do you really think a bunch of wash up rangers scared me! You have to be kidding me Eric I have more power in my finger tip that you have in your precious morpher! Try me Eric come on I dare you." Zed said madly.
The rangers launch themselves into battle.
Zack and Adam fought side by side easily taking down Zed goon.
"Just like riding a bike," Zack said as he roundhouse kick a guard. "Let take it up a notch, Quantum Ax!" Zack said and a blue ax appear in his hand. The ax look similar to the one old power ax he use to command all those years ago. Two guards came at him but he quickly use his ax to dispose of them. One guard try to sneak up on him but Zack was to quick before the guard knew what happen he was face down on the ground.
"Let my try that," Adam said. "Quantum Lance!" A green lance materialize in Adam morph hand. He quickly split the lance in two.
"Watch and learn," Adam said to Zack.
He took both end of the lance and hit the tips hard against the ground. From the tip a small wave of energy emerge running straight on the ground taking out a dozen guards in the process.
Taylor flip backward to avoid getting hit by a laser bullets coming from the guards weapons.
"Two can play that game," She said as she landed on her feet. She reach to her side and pulled out her Quantum blaster and shot a few shots at them before returning the blaster back to its holster and calling upon her Quantum Daggers. The daggers appear in her hand as she ran straight for the guards. She fought her enemies slashing them with her dagger and punching and kicking every time she had and opening.
"Need any help?" Jen suddenly said.
"The thought cross my mind," Taylor said as she elbow a guard in his face.
"Quantum Bow," Jen said and a pink bow appear in hand. She extended her right hand out to the side and a arrow materialize. She fired the arrow using the bow at the guards fighting with Taylor. The arrow hit every guard that surrounded the yellow ranger at once making them fall and exploding.
Eric and Zed were battling each other. Zed had his sword drawn and was using it against the red quantum ranger. Eric had his quantum defender set on blade mode. The two worrier fought each other they were equally match.
"I don't think Wes likes it up there," Zed said evilly.
Under Eric helmet his face turn red in anger.
"What have you done to him!" Eric demanded as he try to slash Zed chest.
"The same thing we will do to you soon," Zed said as he block Eric attack. He knee Eric in the stomach and the uppercut him sending him flying back. Eric drop his weapon in the process and Zed kick it aside.
Zed pointed his sword at Eric the tip of the sword started sparkling with energy.
"Goodbye Eric," Zed said. But before Zed was able to fired four laser beams hit him on his back making him drop his sword. He turn around to see the four quantum rangers with there blaster drawn slowly walking towered him.
"Don't move Zed," Zack said.
"Zack, Adam, is is so nice to see you again," Zed said in a sinister voice.
"I see you had a make over," Adam said to Zed without taking his blaster or eyes of him.
Zed try to go for his sword but the ranger fired at the ground where his sword landed.
"Don't even think about," Zack said.
"You miserably power brats I took you down once I will take you down again," Zed said angrily.
"Um mm new flash tin man," Adam said. "You never took us down as I recall you ran away like a little bitch when the machine empire show up."
Zed grew more angry.
"Well time change my boy and I assure you, this time thing will be different and there is nothing any of you can do about it. I assure you Angel Grove will be ours, then the rest of California, then the U.S., the world, and ultimately the universe." Zed said as he laugh madly. "You all have been warn." Zed finish and disappear out of the desert.
As soon as Zed disappear the ranger cheer. Adam and Zack hug each other as Taylor jump up and down and eventfully join Zack and Adam in their hug. Eric got up and dusted himself of .
"Let return to the Power Chamber there is nothing left to do hear," Eric said and teleported away.
"What his problem?" Zack said as he return his quantum blaster to it's holster.
"He is right come on we have a lot of work to do we better get back to the Power
Chamber," Jen said and teleported.
The rest of the rangers look at each other and did the same.

Zed appear in Vile throne room on the moon palace.
"Am not happy," was the first thing Zed heard come out of vile mouth.
Vile sat in his throne chair with his hands rested on the arm of his chair.
"I apologize master, but the rangers..."
"Save it Zed am tired of your excuses, I want results not excuses," Vile shouted.
"Yes master," Zed simply said as he bow his head.
"What am going to do with you," Vile responded.
"Let me deal with him father," Wes said as he step out of the shadow with Rita on his side.
Zed grunted at the sight of Wes, she look at Rita she had her hand around Wes arm. The sight of them together made him want to puke.
Vile smile at Wes request. "Patience my son you will get to taste blood soon enough." Vile responded.
"Give me a shot at the Rangers father," Wes said. "I will take them apart with my bear hands."
Vile laugh. "Patience my son tomorrow the rangers will fall and you my boy will make sure of that." Vile said to Wes.
"As for you Zed you have prove yourself weak and useless you will remain hear until further notice is that understood," Vile said.
"But master," Zed protested. "You cant possible put your trust on a ranger!"
"How dare you question me authority," Vile shoot back. "I will do as I please now out of my sight."
Zed grunted and did as commanded. He stop and look back into Wes eyes. Wes smile and wink at him. Zed anger rose but this was no place to do anything about so he slowly and calmly left the room.

Adam, Zack and Taylor arrive at the Power Chamber to see Eric and Jen with their helmet off talking to Billy. The three of them remove there helmet.
"What going on?" Adam ask.
"We are trying to track down the signal from Wes morpher," Billy said as he type away on a computer console.
"Anything?" Zack ask he walk up to stand next to Billy.
"Yeah we got a signal a strong one which mean he is wearing his morpher. According to this reading he has activated his morpher in the last hour." Billy responded.
"That good," Adam said. " I mean he still has his morpher so that means he can't be doing that bad and if he activated maybe it means he is trying to escape." Adam said.
"I don't know Adam that can mean anything we can't just assume." Billy responded.
"Can you teleport me to the moon," Eric suddenly said.
"That is not a good idea, storming Vile palace would be suicide I simply can not allow it." Billy said.
"Who died and made you boss," Eric yell.
"Wes you have to calm down," Jen said as she step between Eric and Billy.
Eric push Jen out of the way and grab billy by his shirt. "Listen to me, you will do what I ask and get me to that moon do you understand me!"
"Eric come on we all want to get your friend back but this is not the way to do it," Zack said.
"Zack is right," Jen said. "Trust me I want Wes back as much as you do but we cant just storm in to Vile palace like that, we will all be killed and then what? We won't be any good to Wes or anybody dead."
"Eric am sorry but there is nothing else we can do but wait." Billy said.
Eric felt defeated he wanted to scream he needed to get away. He let go of Billy, power down and teleported away.
"Ill go talk to him," Jen said.
"No let him go," Billy said. "He need to blow off some steam and for the rest of you, you did great if Zordan was hear today he would be proud, but our work is not done. Our work is far from over as you heard Zed said Vile attack will be focus on Angel Grove. That means that our best bet is for us to remain hear close by until Vile is defeated. That mean that you guys will have to relocate. I have built living quarter hear in the power Chamber there room for all of you, but only if you guys are willing. If you decided to back out that will be fine I will make arrangements to have you replace as soon as possible." Billy finish.
"Well my cousin Curtis can run the the dance studio with out me for a while" Zack said.
"Am due for a vacation anyway and fighting evil space aliens sound like a good vacation to me," Adam said playfully.
"I have no where else to be, and getting Wes back is my number one priority," Jen responded.
Billy looked at Taylor who was no staring at the ground lost in thought.
"Taylor?...Taylor?...Earth to Taylor?" Billy called.
Jen tap Taylor on her shoulder, that made her shoot back to reality.
She hesitated for a second before nodding her head.
The four of them demorph, Jen suddenly notice that Ransik was no where to be found.
Hey Billy where did Ransik go?" Jen ask.
"He is working on a project," Billy simply said. "Come one ill show you to your rooms you guys must be tired." Billy said and started leading them out of the Power Chamber.
Jen stop Taylor and pull her aside.
"Are you ok?" Jen ask.
"Yeah am ok why would I not be ok," Taylor responded.
"Well I just thought seeing Eric again..."
"Am fine," Taylor said and walk away.
Jen shook her head. She knew that there could be no tension in the team because it will eventually weaken it. She also knew that they could not have any secret between them but she was not sure if she was ready to tell them why she came back. She wanted to tell Wes before she told anyone else she was not sure what to do. The only thing she was sure of is that she was tired.
Maybe some sleep would help maybe in the morning thing would seem a lot more clearer.

Mr. Collin stood by the pool in his mansion staring up at the night sky. His mind was some where else on his kids. Some where out there was Wes and Eric risking there life. He was more worry about Wes well being, he learn earlier today that he was adopted by creatures. He knew Wes could take care of himself but that did not stop him from worrying, he did not want to lose his son. He was brought back to reality by the sound of static electricity in the air he turn around to see Eric standing a few feet behind him.
"Son!" Mr. Collin said excitedly as he hug Eric. Eric return the hug.
"Am sorry if am bothering you this late at night," Eric apologize.
"It's fine am up I just got back from Mariner Bay, I been so worry ever since I heard of what happen earlier," Mr. Collin said. "How is Wes is he ok?"
"Am sorry Mr Collins I really tried but I haven't been able to get him back am sorry this is all my fault," Eric said.
"No son is not you, you're doing everything you can, and I know you will get him back," Mr Collin said. "We will begin a search party immediately you will take command of the Silver Guardians and we will use all our resources to find Wes. Let me make a few calls" Mr. Collin said.
"Mr Collins am sorry but I wont be coming back to the Silver Guardians not for a while at least," Eric said.
"What? Why?" Mr. Collin ask.
"Am leading a team of rangers into battle against master Vile and until Vile is defeated my focus will be on that," Eric said
"That great Eric we should work together the ranger and the Guardians," Mr. Collin suggested.
"No is better of we work alone and in secrecy for now. We can't risk the life of innocent people is better of the Silver Gurdian stay out of this. The Quantum Rangers will handle it," Eric responded.
"Fair enough but if you need anything you have all my resources at your disposal," Mr. Collin said.
"Thank you Sir," Eric said.
"If I may ask...who are this new rangers?" Mr. Collin said in curiosity.
Eric smile amusingly, "Well Jen is one of them and 2 guys from the original ranger team hear on earth and...Taylor," Eric finally said.
Mr. Collin raise an eyebrow. "How is that working out," Mr. Collin ask Eric.
"I don't know I have not really talk to any of them we jut had our first battle tonight as rangers and I kind of storm out after, am not sure if i am cut out for this leader stuff." Eric said.
"What are you talking about Eric you are a great leader you been leading the Silver Guardian for years now, and you been doing and extraordinary job I could not have ask for a better leader," Mr. Collin said.
"Is not the same, Leading the Silver guardian is a lot easier than leading a team of Power Rangers," Eric said.
"Eric you will be fine there is no doubt in my mind that you will go down as one of the greatest red ranger that ever live," Mr. Collin said with a smile on his face.
Eric crack a smile, "Thanks sir," Eric said.
"Anytime Son," Mr. Collin said with a smile on his face.
"Well I have to be off the rest of the rangers might be wondering where I am," Eric said.
"Take care of yourself son don't be a stranger my door is always open, if you need anything all you have to do is ask" Mr. Collin said.
"Thank you again ill come back and see you as soon as I get a chance," Eric assure him and teleported away.
Mr. Collin watch Eric teleport away into the sky climbing higher and higher till he was nothing but a blur. He wave goodbye and then proceeded put his hand in his pocket and headed back into his house to lay down for he night.

The night came and went. The stars in the sky started to fade away as the sun came up again in the horizon illuminating Angel Grove for another day. Some people got and early start other slept in and other were just going to bed, but for Eric Myer his day had started hours ago. He try to sleep but his dream were plague by nightmares, each dream was different but they all ended the same by the death of Wes. He wasn't the type of person who would pay attention to his dreams but those dreams felt so real it scared him. So now he was up, and was working out in the holo deck room. The holo deck was a new addition to the Power Chamber it was as a sort of training room for the rangers, Billy got the idea from it after seeing Andros simudeck in his Mega Ship. The holo deck was suppose to mimic any environment or any number of opponents. Right now Eric had the holo deck set to mimic a gym. He was hitting the weight hard. He stop and grab a towel and wipe the the sweat of his face.
"End simulation," Eric said and walk out of the holo deck.
He headed for his room at the end of the hall. The metallic door slid open as he walk up to it. His room was a pretty big. He had a king size bed the sheets on the bed were red. He had a small desk with a computer in the corner and a closet. He head for his private shower and turn on the hot water. He took a quick shower and got out. He went to his closet and pull out a bag he pack last night before returning to the Power Chamber. He dug out his gray sweat pants and a red sweat shirt. He put on his running shoes and grab his Silver guardian hat. He Replace the bag in the closet and pull out a bag pack and dug out a whistle and put it around his neck. He replace the back pack and head it out the door. He walk calmly to the end of the hall and turn around to face the rest of the ranger sleeping quarter. He brought the whistle to his lips and blew as hardest he could over and over again.
Slowly the rangers started emerging from there room in there pajamas yawning loudly.
"What the deal Eric?" Adam ask as he yawn. "Is early in the morning should you been sleeping?"
"We can't afford the luxury of sleep, if we are going to take Vile down we need to train hard." Eric responded. "Where are Zack and Taylor?"
Taylor left last night, she said she was not staying hear if they needed her to call her, and Zack I imaging he is still in his room sleeping." Jen answer.
"Alright rangers we have a long day of training, we should get started report to the holo deck," Eric said firmly.
"Yeah right am going back to bed," Jen said.
"Way to early wake me back up around noon and then we will see," Adam added.
Eric grab his whistle and blew it again.
"This is not a request this is an order, if we want to get Wes back and send Vile back were he came from we have to be in top of our game," Eric said. "Now move it!" Eric yell in a commanding voice.
Adam and Jen look at each other, but before they could say anything Eric blew his whistle again and yell out "move it".
"Alright fine," Jen said. "Were are going, were are going."
"Yeah don't get your panties in a wad," Adam said as he pass Eric and headed down the hall to the Holo deck.
Eric headed for Zack room he stood outside and knock on the door, but got no answer. He knock a few more times each time his knock got louder but still no luck. He press a button on the wall next to the door and the door slid open. The room was dark, Eric reach for a light switch on the wall and switch it on. The light on the ceiling illuminated the room. Zack room was a little bit smaller then Eric his bed was a full size, with blue sheets. Zack lay there on his bed his feet were up by the head board and his head was by the end of the bed he was sleeping in his boxer and his sheet were all over the place. He snore loudly and he had a little bit of druel dripping down the side of his mouth.
Eric blew his whistle as hardest he could but Zack did not even flinch. Eric frown he was frustrated. Zack started to move around, he lifted up his head at look up at Eric.
"Eric what are you doing hear it early you should be in bed," Zack said with a sleepy face.
"Time to get up Zack we have a lot of training to do," Eric said.
"Yeah right you have fun with that," Zack said as he reach for a pillow on the floor and dug his head in it.
Eric frown he exited the room and return carrying a blue bucket, he walk to Zack bed were Zack was now sound asleep and dump the bucket of freezing water on him. Zack jump out of his bed startle.
"Hey what the big idea man." Zack said shivering.
"Good you are up," Eric said, "We have training to do report to the holo deck."
"Well at least let my dry of first," Zack complain.
"No time if you wanted to be dry you should have gotten up when i ask you to," Eric said.
Zack look at him for any sign that would indicate that he was joking but he found none, still shivering he walk out of the room to join the rest of his friends for what he was sure was going to be one of the worst morning of his life.

"It is very simple," Vile started to say, "You will go back to earth and gain the rangers trust learn all you can from there computers and sabotage there Zords." Vile finish
"But father the Quantum Rangers don't have any zords," Wes said.
"Not yet but am sure they are hiding them somewhere in there precious Power Chamber and once you gain there trust you should have no trouble in learning of their location," Vile said.
Vile held up a small disk and handed to Wes. Wes took out of his hand and examine it.
"What this?" Wes ask.
"That contain a virus, once you gain access to one of the zord you will input the disk in the Zord mainframe, once the Zord combine into the meagazord the virus will activate and destroy the zord from the inside out." Vile said as he smile evilly
Wes smile the thought of hurting the ranger brought him great pleasure.
"I wont let you down," Wes said to Vile
"Am sure you wont," Vile responded. "Now go."
Wes bow his head to his master and vanish into a ball of red energy heading straight for Earth.

Ransik was sitting down on the floor of the Power Chamber in front of him was and open panel on one of the walls. He finish doing the last of the adjustment before replacing the panel and wiping the sweat of his forehead.
"There that should do it." Ransik said out loud. He stood up when suddenly the Power Chamber alarm when of, Billy who was standing near by immediately headed for a console to see what was going on.
"What going on?" Eric voice came threw intercom system.
"You guys better get up hear asap," Billy said.
"We are on our way," Eric said.
"What is it?" Ransik ask.
"Am not sure there is something coming toward Earth fast the sensor cant get a clear reading," Billy answer.
"Where is headed?" Ransik ask.
There was a small tremble in the Power Chamber.
"Right outside," Billy answer. "Am putting it up on the main view screen now."
Behind them the door slid open and the rangers enter the Power Chamber. The rangers were all in work out fits. There cloths were cover in mud and grass from head to toe.
"What happen to you guy?" Ransik ask. "You guys are looking rough."
"Don't ask." Zack said annoy.
"What going on?" Eric ask.
"Something from space just landed in the desert outside of the Power Chamber," Billy said.
"What is it," Adam ask.
"Am not sure Adam none of our sensor were able to determine what it was. They were not even able to pick up till it was right on us so I have no idea where it came from either." Billy added.
"Guys the smoke is clearing something is coming into focus," Ransik alerted.
All six of them turn their attention to the screen in front of them. A body started coming into focus laying face up at first the rangers could not make out who it was. But as the smoke start to settle around the body Jen gasp in surprise and horror.
"Wes!" Eric said...
