The Lost Story, Adventures In Space
Chapter Five: Save Our Ship
Inside the Astro Megaship's Simi Deck, TJ, Cassie, Carlos, Ashley, and I are doing some more training with Billy and Alpha 5 watching on.
"Okay guys, let's do it." I instructed
"Right." The others agreed
We all then charge in and begin fighting off the simulated Carterites. We all jump over them as they turned around and faced us.
"Okay guys, let's call on our weapons." I instructed
"Right." The others agreed
"Spiral Saber." I called out as I pulled out my Spiral Saber
"Astro Axe." TJ called out as he pulled out his Astro Axe
"Satellite Stunner." Ashley called out as she pulled out her Satellite Stunner
"Lunar Lance." Carlos called out as he pulled out his Lunar Lance
"Star Slinger." Cassie called out as she pulled out her Star Slinger
TJ, Carlos, and I jumped up at the same time and struck down three Carterites. Ashley and Cassie use their weapons and blasts several more Carterites sending them to the ground as well. Now, only five stand in front of us.
"Okay guys, let's finish this." I instructed
The others nodded as we all then charged in at the Carterites. The Carterites then charges in towards us as well. I then slash down on one as TJ, and Carlos do the same. Cassie blasts one as does Ashley. We all then turned away from the Carterites as they all fell to the ground and exploded.
"Stop Simulation." Billy instructed
Suddenly, the matrix like room disappeared as we then reappeared in the Simi Deck room.
"Well, I think that was a pretty good training session." I mentioned as I made my Spiral Saber disappear
"Yeah, I agree." Ashley agreed
The others then made their weapons disappear as well as we all then took off our helmets with me returning to my normal height as we all then walked back over towards Billy and Alpha 5.
"You five are getting better with each day." Billy commented
"Thanks Billy." Cassie agreed
"Especially you Paul. I am now starting to see more and more of your father in you the more you improve as a Power Ranger." Alpha 5 added
"Thanks Alpha 5." I thanked
"Yo, Ranger boys and Ranger girls. You should see what is in front of us." Alpha 6 said through the intercom
"What is it Alpha 6?" TJ inquired
Meanwhile on the Astro Megaship Bridge
"It's the Earth, we're back home." Alpha 6 informed them looking right at the Earth through the Viewing Screen
Back on the Simi Deck
"Yes, all right." We all cheered
Everyone started walking out of the room but I stayed put for a bit thinking on something else. I am quickly then pulled out of my thoughts with a hand placed on my shoulder as I turned around to see that it was Ashley.
"Hey, have you had the chance to explore Angel Grove since moving there?" Ashley inquired
"Not really, my cousin was away with her boyfriend for a few weeks on a romantic getaway trip when I had moved to town and her mom was busy working that there really wasn't much time for me to be able to go out and explore the town." I admitted half truthfully
'Though, truth be told, I really didn't feel like leaving the house.' I thought to myself
She just smiles at me.
"Hey, you're going to love it." Ashley mentioned
She then links my arm in with hers.
"Trust me." Ashley assured
She then has me walk off with her.
"There's the beach, a mountain trail that has the most awesome view you will ever see. And then, there is this place called the Youth Center, that I know you'll love." Ashley explained
Meanwhile back on Earth in the woods
In the middle of the night, Bulk and Skull were in the middle of the woods outside of Angel Grove as Skull was looking through the telescope that still had the lens cap on. Bulk taps his shoulder as Skull brushes it away and looks at him.
"Shhh." Skull hushed holding a finger by his mouth
He then looks back into the telescope.
"This astronomy stuff is amazing. I think I just discovered a black hole." Skull told him
Bulk just sighs shaking his head at his best friend as he then turns the telescope around and takes off the lens cap and shows it to him.
"The space between your ears is a black hole." Bulk mentioned as he hands him the lends cap
Skull takes it and looks at it confused before turning back towards Bulk.
"Hey Bulkie, you really think if we discover a new comet, we'll be rich and famous?" Skull inquired
Bulk then turns the telescope back around to its original positon.
"Absolutely." Bulk assured
Skull then holds up the lens cap and stares at it while Bulk looks through the telescope. A few moments later, his eyes then goes wide as he spots Astronema's Dark Fortress. Bulk then looks away from the telescope and just stare up towards the sky.
"U… U… U…" Bulk stammered unable to form the word he wanted to say
Skull just looks at him confused.
"Me, me, me, what?" Skull questioned thinking he was referring to him
Bulk then grabs Skull's head and forces him to look back through the telescope.
"AHH!" Skull cried out from the force of Bulk pushing his head down towards the telescope
"UFO." Bulk muttered
Skull's eyes then goes wide as he too now sees the Dark Fortress just floating up there in the clear sky. Bulk let's Skull's head go as Skull lifts it back up as they then stare at each other in shocked and fright for a few moments before the both of then pass out, falling to the ground in the process.
Meanwhile back in space outside the Astro Megaship
Once we all had put our helmets back on, Billy had transformed into the Phantom Ranger as we all then got into the shuttle and took our positions with Billy taking one of the empty seats.
"Begin undocking procedure." I instructed
The mini latches unclipped from the Space Shuttle as the main shuttle bay door opens up as the Space Shuttle engines begin firing up.
"Home sweet home. Here we come." TJ mentioned
"Disengage and fire thrusters now." I called out
Meanwhile back inside the Astro Megaship on the Megaship Bridge
"Final shuttle detachment now." Alpha 5 confirmed pushing a few buttons
Back outside of the Astro Megaship
The final two latches release from the Space Shuttle as the Rangers then fly off towards Earth.
Meanwhile inside the Dark Fortress
Unknown to the Rangers, Astronema had seen them fly out of the Astro Megaship inside the space shuttle heading straight for Earth.
"So, they're taking the shuttle to Earth." Astronema mentioned
She just laughs and shakes her head.
"Big mistake." Astronema added
"A really big mistake." A voice called out
Astronema quickly turns around and sees that it was Divatox's nephew Elgar.
"Humongously gigantic." Elgar added
"What are you doing here?" Astronema questioned
Elgar then bows down towards her.
"Whatever you wish, my queen." Elgar told her
He then straightens up and walks over towards her.
"But, I don't do windows." Elgar added
She then stands near her and looks her in the eyes.
"But first, could I get a bite to eat? I'm really starving." Elgar requested
He then spots a Quantron walking by and stops it.
"Hey buddy." Elgar called out
The Quantron just stares at Elgar.
"Yeah, can I get a turkey on rye, and extra peanut butter?" Elgar requested
The Quantron just nods as it twirls his finger around its head thinking Elgar was nuts as he walks off.
"You're the best." Elgar stated
Astronema then gets in front of him as he looks at two other Quantrons that were still on the bridge.
"Quantrons, throw him off my Dark Fortress." Astronema ordered
The two nodded as they rushed over and grab Elgar by both arms as they begin dragging him away.
"Hey, hold your horses. Dark Spector said you needed me." Elgar told her
"Wait." Astronema ordered
The Quantrons stop dragging Elgar away but keeps their hands on him.
"Dark Spector said that?" Astronema inquired
"Oh yeah." Elgar confirmed
Astronema just groans in frustration, realizing that he is telling the truth and now has to put up with him.
Meanwhile outside Paul's house
After having separated from the others after having left the shuttle at NASADA, Billy had decided to escort me back to my house as the others went back to their homes for the night.
"You know, you didn't have to take me home. I'm sure that your family would love to see you again after so long of not being home." I mentioned
"While I do agree with you that they have not seen me or vise versa in a while, I felt that it was best to make sure that you made it home safely especially seeing as how it is currently late at night and you are only a minor after all." Billy told me
"Or, it possibly could be mostly wanting to avoid the wrath of my cousin if you didn't." I mentioned
'And that is putting it mildly.' I thought to myself
Billy just chuckled while rubbing the back of his head.
"Yeah, you got me there." Billy admitted
I just shake my head as we walk up to the porch as I put my house key into the lock and unlock the door before opening it to reveal a dark hallway.
"Looks like Aunt Gina is in bed." I mentioned
I then look at the new Communicator I had gotten that is on the same wrist as where my Astro Morpher would be when I call upon it and activate the clock mode on it to see that it is now 2:30 in the morning.
"Which would make sense since it is 2:30 in the morning." I added
"Paul, is that you?" A voice questioned
Billy and I jumped from hearing a voice inside the house as we quickly walked in and shut the door as the lights suddenly turns on as we turned towards where the voice had come from to see that it was Kimberly standing there from the living room entrance wearing a pink tank top and black pants.
"Kimberly?" I inquired
"Oh my god, Pauly." Kimberly called out
She quickly rushed over and wrapped her arms around me into a tight hug.
"I'm so glad to see that you finally made it home from space safely." Kimberly mentioned
"Um…it's great to see you again too cuz, but…I really need to breath at some point." I muttered trying not to lose anymore air
She then breaks the hug releasing her tight grip but still keeping her hands on my shoulders.
"Sorry about that. It's just that when mom told me and Jason that you were off in space helping the Power Rangers, I just became worried." Kimberly told me
"Nothing new there." I muttered
"I heard that." Kimberly told me
I just chuckle as I looked back at her.
"You know what I mean. You tend to be overprotective when it comes to me at times and it can be really predictable." I explained
"Paul does have a point Kimberly. I seem to recall all those times he came to town for a visit all those years ago, and you always were making sure he didn't hurt himself." Billy added
Kimberly suddenly realized that I wasn't the only one here and turned towards Billy and gotten a shock look on her face.
"Billy?" Kimberly questioned looking at her longtime friend confused
Billy just chuckled.
"Yes. It's good to see you again Kimberly." Billy confirmed
Kimberly smiled as she then walked over towards Billy and gave him a hug as he hugged her back.
"I'm so glad to see you too Billy." Kimberly stated
They broke the hug as she took a look at the outfit he is wearing.
"Um, don't take this the wrong way but, what is that you are wearing Billy?" Kimberly inquired
Billy just chuckled.
"It's the custom wardrobe that the people of Aquitar wears. Ever since I had moved there, I have been wearing it sense." Billy explained
"So, what are you doing back here on Earth with Paul?" Kimberly questioned
"I think it be best if Paul's shows you." Billy mentioned
They both turned towards me as Billy nods at me. I nodded back as I then twist my left wrist causing my Astro Morpher to materialize on my wrist. Kimberly then gets a shock look on her face.
"Is that what I think it is?" Kimberly inquired
"Yeah, it's a Morpher. It's called the Astro Morpher and with this, I'll morph into the Red Space Power Ranger." I explained
"Wait, did you just say the Red Space Power Ranger?" Kimberly wondered
"It might be better if you showed her Paul." A voice called out
We all turned towards the voice to see that it was Kimberly's mom walking down the steps.
"Mom, what you doing up?" Kimberly questioned
"Well, you all talking down here, kind of woke me up." Aunt Gina mentioned
She then turned towards me.
"But, I was mostly already up due to worrying about Paul." Aunt Gina added
"Sorry if I worried you both. But, when Justin asked me to go and help them I felt like I had to do it." I explained
"It's okay sweetie." Aunt Gina assured
"Paul, go ahead and Morphed." Billy instructed
I nodded as I step aside from all of them.
"LET'S ROCKIT!" I yelled out
I then open up my Astro Morpher.
"3.3.5." A computerized voice called out
I then pushed the enter button as it then beeps at me. Suddenly, I then Morphed into the Red Space Ranger. I then look at Aunt Gina and Kimberly as Kimberly had more of a shocked and confused look on her face then her mother did.
"As you can now see, I am the newest Red Ranger leading the Space Rangers in a mission through deep space under the watchful guidance of Billy." I pointed out
Kimberly gets an even more confused look on her face as she turned towards Billy.
"Is that true Billy?" Kimberly inquired
"Yes, it is." Billy confirmed
"Well, I know that I have a few questions along with Kimberly too. But, that can wait until morning after we all get some sleep." Aunt Gina suggested
"I would also agree with you Gina as that be the best course of action as neither Paul nor I along with his teammates have had a lot of sleep these last few days." Billy agreed
"And besides, they are supposed to be stopping over tomorrow as well to not only meet you guys, but so that we can go and hang out at the Youth Center later in the afternoon." I mentioned
"All right then, let's all go to bed." Aunt Gina stated
She then turned towards Billy.
"Billy, while I know that you probably should visit with your parents. I think it be wise if you stayed here the night." Aunt Gina suggested
"Thanks for the offer Gina. I accept your generous offer." Billy accepted
The next morning
After having gotten a good night sleep and gotten up at ten in the morning to the smell of Kimberly's mom making breakfast, we all had gotten around and dressed minus Billy who had gone to his parents to see them as well as get some of his old clothes. I had put on a pair of blue jeans and it took a while but I finally found a red shirt, which only happen to be a long sleeve one.
'I'm going to need to at some point get some more red shirts.' I thought to myself
Kimberly, Aunt Gina, and I were sitting at the table eating our breakfast which consisted of almost a full-on breakfast buffet with eggs, pancakes, French toast, and bacon. As I finished up my plate filled with food, I happen to look over towards Kimberly's left hand mostly towards her ring finger and see something that wasn't there the last time I had seen her.
'Did Jason finally propose to her?' I thought to myself
"Hey Kimberly, did Jason pop that certain question while you guys were on that trip?" I questioned
She looks at me for a moment before looking towards her finger and just smirks.
"Yeah, he did." Kimberly confirmed
"Well congratulations cuz. That's great." I told her
"Thanks Paul. I really appreciate it." Kimberly thanked
Suddenly, we then hear the doorbell ring.
"That must be the others along with Billy, I'll go and get it." I stated getting up as I wipe my hands and face with the napkin
I then walk off over towards the front door. Once there, I open the door to see that I was right as it was Billy along with TJ, Ashley, Carlos, and Cassie with all five of them now wearing normal Earth clothing. Billy was wearing a grey shirt with black stripes and blue jeans. Carlos was wearing a black jacket with a grey shirt underneath and dark blue jeans. TJ wearing a light blue jacket and a dark blue shirt underneath and kaki pants. Cassie was wearing a yellow shirt with pink flowers on it with a black leather jacket and a pair of blue jeans. And Ashley was wearing a pink stripe shirt with a pink blouse over it with just middle button buttoned and brown pants.
"Hey guys." I greeted
"Hi Paul." Ashley greeted back
"Come on in." I told them stepping aside
They all walked in as I shut the door just as Kimberly and her mom walks into the hallway over towards us.
"TJ, Ashley, Carlos, and Cassie. This is my cousin Kimberly Hart and her mother and my aunt Gina. Girls, these are my new friends and Ranger teammates TJ, Ashley, Carlos, and Cassie." I introduced
"It's nice to meet you both." TJ greeted as the four of them shook their hands
"Same here." Aunt Gina stated
Billy then walked over a bit.
"Kimberly, I had ran into Jason earlier this morning and he told me about your guys recent engagement. Congratulations." Billy congratulated
Kimberly just chuckled as the two hugged.
"Thanks Billy. I really appreciate it." Kimberly thanked
A bit later
After we all had gone to the living room, Ashley, TJ, Cassie, Carlos, Billy, and I began explaining what had transpired over the last several days since leaving for space to Kimberly and Aunt Gina.
"And that's the whole story girls." Billy informed them
"Well, at least Project Astro is going according to plan so far." Aunt Gina mentioned
"I'm still can't believe that all this time, you had always known that Jason, Billy, me, and our other friends were once Power Rangers. Or to the fact that Paul's father was once a Power Ranger years before any of us." Kimberly stated
"Yeah, I have to agree with Kimberly. I mean, I understand the code of honor and all, but, I kind of wish that dad would have at least shared with me of his time as a Ranger." I added
"Your father thought it was best not to say anything about that time of his past for your protection." Aunt Gina explained
"What about my sister and mom? Did they know of his past as a Power Ranger?" I questioned
"No, I'm the only one in the family that had ever found out about it." Aunt Gina revealed
Kimberly then turned towards Billy.
"Billy, I'm curious and I please don't take this the wrong way, but how come Zordon chose you to mentor the Space Rangers?" Kimberly inquired
Billy just chuckled.
"None taken Kimberly. I myself have been kind of wondering that myself. But, Zordon had complete faith in me to handle this task. With me being of the only originals to have lived on another planet besides Earth, it kind of makes sense as during my time living on Aquitar, I have some connections out there that could not only allow me to mentor the Space Rangers, but to also help in locating and rescuing him." Billy explained
"Billy, I'm just curious. Are there going to be times where we could end up being in space for days on end during our mission?" Cassie inquired
Billy sighed before standing up and pacing around in front of us.
"I won't lie to you guys. Yes, there will be times where we will have to be in space for several days straight. But, once school starts back up for you all in the fall, we'll be around Earth during the weekdays as so you guys don't get behind in school." Billy explained
"Makes sense." Carlos stated
"Well, I guess we'll be spending most of our summer vacation in space." TJ mentioned
"To which, actually isn't all bad as we will get to see the universe." Ashley added
"Don't forget though guys, the main reason we're going to be traveling around in space is to find and rescue Zordon." I reminded them
"Yes, Paul is correct. We can't forget the main reason why we are traveling through the depths of space. Finding and rescuing Zordon is our primary objective along with also protecting Earth as well." Billy added
The five of us nodded in agreement.
"Oh, and speaking of school. I got a call from Mr. Caplan the other day." Aunt Gina mentioned
"Wait, the principle from the high school?" I inquired
"Yes, he said that the results from the placement tests you took were passed along to him and was happy to inform me that you will be attending Angel Grove High in the fall." Aunt Gina informed me
I just stare at her in shock and confusion.
"Wait, so instead of going into the seventh grade like originally thought, I'm going to be attending high school?" I questioned
"Yep, and due to how well you scored, you are actually going to be a junior in high school." Aunt Gina stated
I just look at her in shocked.
"A junior?" I inquired
"Yes, and Mr. Caplan also mentioned that if you do well this year, that it is possible you will be graduating after just one year of being in high school." Aunt Gina explained
"Paul, that's excellent news. Congratulations." Kimberly congratulated me as she came over and gave me a hug
I hugged her back as I continue to process this latest news.
'This is all so weird. I was actually wondering why that test seemed so easy.' I thought to myself
"Wow, this is great Paul. You'll get to attend high school with the rest of us." TJ mentioned
"Not to mention that if this year goes right in your favor, you'll get to graduate with us at the end of the year too." Ashley added
Kimberly and I break the hugged as she kept an arm around my shoulder.
"Thanks guys." I thanked
"Hey, I think this calls for a celebration smoothie at the Youth Center." TJ stated
"That's a great idea TJ." Ashley agreed
"Sounds good to me, I haven't been there since I moved to Aquitar." Billy mentioned
"Then it's settled. I'll call Jason on the way and have him meet us there." Kimberly stated
"You kids have fun, I need to get to work." Aunt Gina told us
"Gina, can you make sure the shuttle has been checked out so that we can take back off for the Megaship after we are done at the Youth Center as well as getting the last of the supplies we need?" Billy requested
"You got it Billy." Aunt Gina assured
She then turned towards me.
"Paul, I'll also have a bag packed for you as I am sure that you guys will be spending the next few nights on the ship for sure. I'll even pack up a few of your things so that you can make your quarters on the ship a little more homey." Aunt Gina stated
"Thanks Aunt Gina." I thanked
Meanwhile a bit later inside the Angel Grove Youth Center
Normal POV
Inside the Angel Grove Youth Center, it was a normal busy summer day there as the new waitress Adelle brings some fries and water to Bulk and Skull's table who were reading magazines and the newspaper.
"How are you fellas doing today?" Adelle inquired
Bulk looked up at her smiling.
"We're doing fine thank you." Bulk thanked
"Good." She told them
She then walks off to check on some more customers.
Paul's POV
After Kimberly had talked with Jason on the phone, he said that he meet us there along with a few others that were back in town. Once we walked inside, I take a look around getting an idea what it is all about. It had a work out area with various weight lifting machines as well as a area for those to practice martial arts. There was another area with tables and chairs along with a small arcade with a few arcade games and a bar area with some high chairs.
"Hey, Kim, Paul, Billy. Over here." A voice called out
We all turned towards the voice to see that it was Jason Scott Kimberly's now fiancé along with who if I remember right Zack Taylor and Trini Kwan sitting a table waving at us.
"Oh my god, Zack, Trini." Kimberly called out
She quickly races off as Billy is hot on her tail as the rest of us follow not that far behind them. Kimberly quickly embraces Trini as the two best friends hug each other.
"It's great to see you guys again." Kimberly mentioned
"Same here Kim." Trini stated
The two girls break the hug as Kimberly then turns towards Zack.
"Zack." Kimberly greeted with a smile
"Hey, give the Zack man some love Kimmy." Zack greeted back
The two then hugged each other. A few moments later, they break off the hug.
"What you two doing back in Angel Grove?" Kimberly inquired
"Well, after being gone for so long, we decided to come back home and attend Angel Grove University with you and Jason." Trini revealed
"That's great." Kimberly stated
Zack and Trini then turend towards Billy.
"Billy, it's great to see you again." Trini told him as she hugged him as he then hugs her back
"It's always a pleasure to see you again Trini." Billy stated as they broke the hug
Billy then turned towards Zack.
"Zack, good to see you again my old friend." Billy greeted
"Same here my main brain." Zack greeted back as the two clasp hands before giving each other a quick hug
Trini and Zack then turned towards me.
"Paul, is that you?" Trini inquired
I just chuckled rubbing the back of my head.
"Yeah, it's me Trini. I did some growing up a bit since you last saw me." I mentioned
"Well, you grew up handsome." Trini mentioned as she hugged me
I hugged her back.
"Thanks Trini." I thanked breaking the hug
I then turned towards Zack.
"Long time no see Zack." I greeted
We then shook hands before giving each other a quick hug.
"Paul, it's always a pleasure seeing you little buddy." Zack greeted back
"Same here Zack." I agreed as we broke the hug
I then motion over towards TJ, Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley.
"And these are my new friends." I mentioned
"Hey, I'm TJ." TJ introduced himself
"Cassie." Cassie introduced herself
"Carlos." Carlos introduced himself
"And I'm Ashley. It's nice to meet you both." Ashley introduced herself
"Same here guys." Zack stated
I then motioned over towards Jason.
"And, that's Jason, Kimberly's now fiancé." I introduced them
"Nice to meet you guys." Jason greeted shaking their hands
"Same here Jason." TJ greeted back
Trini then turned back towards me.
"Zack and I had just heard about what happen, we're so sorry for your lost Paul." Trini mentioned
"Thanks Trini, it means a lot to me." I thanked
"If you ever need anything bud, we're always there for you." Zack assured
"Thanks Zack." I thanked
TJ, Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley look over towards me kind of confused as to what was just said.
"What are they talking about Paul?" TJ inquired
I sighed realizing that I probably shouldn't hide it from them anymore as they will find out sooner rather than later. Kimberly puts a comforting hand on my shoulder and nodded at me smiling. I slowly nodded before turning towards the four of them.
"The reason I am living with my cousin and aunt here in Angel Grove is because I had recently lost both of my parents and older sister." I revealed
The four of them had looked at me in shocked.
"Oh my god Paul, how?" Cassie inquired
I sighed.
"It was a car accident." I revealed
"Oh man." Carlos muttered
"I'm so sorry Paul." Ashley mentioned as she came over and gave me hug
"Yeah bud, if you ever need anything, we're always here for you." TJ assured
After Ashley and I break off the hug, I looked at him and then towards Cassie and Carlos as they all nodded in agreement.
"Thanks guys, it really means a lot to me." I thanked
"Well, this is kind of a deja vu sighting." A voice called out
We all turned towards the voice to see that it was a bigger guy wearing an Hawaiian shirt blue pants and an white apron.
"Ernie." Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack called out
Ernie just chuckled as he walked over towards us.
"It's great to see the five of you together in one place again." Ernie mentioned
"It's great to see you again too Ernie." Zack told him
"But, I thought you were still in the Amazons building the bridge?" Jason inquired
"I was, but we finished a week ago and I just came back two days ago." Ernie stated
"That's great Ernie." Trini stated
"Hey Ernie, where's Lt. Stone?" Ashley inquired
"Well, since I came back and had took back ownership of the Juice Bar, he decided to go back to the force, but had agreed to help out at times when needed." Ernie explained
"Good for him." Jason stated
Suddenly, we then see an African American woman walk over towards us with a basket of fries.
"So, are these the five you were telling me all about Ernie?" She inquired
"Sure is Adelle." Ernie confirmed
Ernie then turned back towards us.
"Kids, this is Adelle. My new hire as well as my new right-hand help." Ernie introduced
"It's nice to meet you Adelle." Kimberly greeted
"Please, the honor is all mine." Adelle greeted back
She then sits the two baskets of fries down on the table.
"Um, we didn't order any fries." Carlos mentioned
"Trust me, you'll love them. No one can resist my fries." Adelle assured
I decided to test one for myself and grab one and eat it.
"She's right, it's pretty dang good." I mentioned
"I'll be back to take your order in a few moments guys." Adelle told us as she walked off
"And, I'll be back to catch up with you guys in a bit." Ernie stated
"Sounds good Ernie." Billy mentioned
Ernie smiled and nodded. We then pushed a second table over along with some more chairs and sat down. As I sat down, I happen look down to a table down below and see two guys, one very big guy and a skinner guy who appears to be the same age as Kimberly, Jason, Trini, Zack, and Billy.
'If memory serves right, I believe the bigger guy goes by Bulk why the skinner one goes by Skull.' I thought to myself
Normal POV
Skull just tosses the magazine he was reading to the floor and goes to grab a handful of fries before Bulk whacks his hand away from it.
"Ah!" Skull cried out holding his now sore hand
He then shakes it a bit before turning back towards Bulk who had just grab the basket off the table and holding it close to him.
"But Bulkie, I'm starving" Skull mentioned
"Then you shouldn't have forgotten your wallet." Bulk reminded him
Skull just stared at him.
"This is my lunch." Bulk informed him
Bulk then grabs a fry.
"My lunch." Bulk repeated
He then eats it. He then grabs the glass of water.
"This, is your water." Bulk informed him
He then puts it down and slides it over towards Skull.
"You may drink it." Bulk told him
Skull picks it up and gives Bulk a pouting look before taking a drink.
Paul's POV
I shake my head at Bulk's attitude. I then see him teasing Skull some more as he dunks a couple of fries into his milkshake and eats it.
'I think it's time he learned something from this.' I thought to myself
I then happen to spot a bottle of hot sauce on the table. I then move my right under the table put my two middle fingers together as I then begin using my telekinesis to lift it up without them noticing as I then tip it over Bulk's milkshake and pour out some hot sauce onto it.
Normal POV
As Paul brings the bottle of hot sauce back down on the table up right, Ashley had caught onto it and just stared at him in shocked. As Paul move his hand from underneath the table and looked back towards the others, she quickly turned her head away as so not to be caught. Bulk then grabs the milkshake and is about to take a drink before spotting something in the paper he is reading.
"Hey, this professor, he's an expert on aliens." Bulk told Skull
Bulk then hands Skull the newspaper. Skull takes it and looks at is as Bulk then takes a drink of his milkshake. But a few seconds later just as he puts his milkshake down, he begins feeling the burning sensation in his mouth.
"Yeah… Yeah…" Skull muttered reading the article
Bulk quickly grabs Skull's water glass to take a drink but finds that it is empty. He then turns towards Rangers' tables and sees a big picture of water on it and quickly rushes over there.
Paul's POV
We then see Bulk rush over towards our table and grabs the picture of water and begins gulping down the water.
"Whoa, whoa, Bulkie, are you okay?" Zack questioned
Jason just pats him on the shoulder as the rest of us try to stop ourselves from laughing.
"Professor Phenomenus, he's our man." Skull called out
Skull then puts his paper down as he walks over towards us.
"Bulkie, do you think he's going to believe us?" Skull questioned
We all look at him confused by what he is getting on about.
"Professor, last night we saw an alien spaceship. Round, with big pointy antennas, half invisible, just green lines really." Skull explained waving his arms around
We all stare at him at the description he gave of the alien ship. Skull just huffed pretending to know what this Professor guy is going to react to them. He then turns towards Bulk who finished off all the water in the picture and sits it back on the table as he stares upwards with steam coming out from his mouth.
"Bulkie, are you okay?" Skull inquired
Bulk just glares at him.
"Let's get out of here." Bulk told him
Bulk then stands up as Skull grabs his jacket and newspaper they were reading as Bulk then grabs the back of his shirt and starts dragging him off. We looked around for a bit before turning towards one another.
"Bulk and Skull, the spaceship they saw, it sounds like…" Carlos began to say
"The Dark Fortress." TJ finished
Carlos nodded in agreement.
"She must have followed us back to Earth." Cassie stated
"This can't be good." I mentioned
"I agree, we better get the rest of the supplies and return the Megaship right away." Billy instructed
"We'll go with you guys too." Jason stated
"Thanks Jason, we really could use the help." Billy thanked
"Let's get going." Zack stated
The rest of us nodded as we all stood up and began walking off.
"Hey Paul." Ashley called out
I stop as I turned towards her as she looked around for a second before turning back towards me.
"Was that you with the milkshake?" Ashley inquired
'Shit, she might have seen me.' I thought to myself
"No, of course not. Skull may have done that to Bulk as payback for not sharing the fries." I lied as I rushed off
Normal POV
Ashley just stared on as Paul had quickly walked off right after telling her that.
"It had to be Paul." Ashley muttered
Ashley then quickly rushed off to catch up and the others.
Meanwhile a bit later with Bulk and Skull in the outskirts of Angel Grove
Bulk and Skull go to the address of Professor Phenomenus Ingenious, Inc. Skull just looks at the mailbox pointing at it.
"Phe-nom-e-nus. In-ge-ni…" Skull began to slowly spell out the name on the mailbox but gets interrupted by Bulk tapping him on the shoulder
Skull then turned towards Bulk.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" Bulk questioned
"Yeah." Skull confirmed
They then look around the area once more to find that it is just an empty lot just outside of town.
"Well, I'm sure it's not. Let's go." Bulk told him
Skull nodded as he just threw his arm forward as they then begin to walk off.
"Who are you looking for?" A voice called out from a speakerphone
Bulk and Skull quickly stop in their tracks.
"Who's there? Who said that" Bulk questioned
"This is Professor Phenomenus." Professor Phenomenus greeted through a speakerphone
Bulk and Skull just stared at each other.
"Who are you?" Professor Phenomenus questioned through the speakerphone
They then turned back towards the mailbox and just stare at it confused.
"I think he's in there." Bulk mentioned
They then walk back over towards it and stares at it.
"The Professor lives in a mailbox?" Skull inquired
Bulk just shrugs his shoulders as he turns back towards the mailbox.
"Professor." Bulk called out
Bulk then opens up the mailbox and sees nothing inside.
"We need to talk to you. We saw, aliens." Bulk informed him
"Aliens?" Professor Phenomenus questioned through the speakerphone
Suddenly, they then hear the sounds of a van driving nearby and slowly turned back around to see a big blue van tricked out with microphones and antennas as it races over towards them. Bulk and Skull just stare at it as it shows no sign of slowing down heading their way when suddenly, it then skids to a complete stop just mire inches from them. Bulk and Skull then walk over to the side of it as they then see a door slide open and the driver steps out to reveal an old man wearing glasses and a weird looking device on his head. The guy then stares at Bulk and Skull as they stare at him.
"Aliens." He muttered
Bulk and Skull look at each other and then nodded at him realizing that he was indeed Professor Phenomenus.
"What exactly did you see?" Professor Phenomenus questioned walking over towards them and puts a hand on each of their shoulders
"Professor, we saw a UFO." Bulk informed him
"And nobody believed you, right?" Professor Phenomenus inquired
"Exactly." Bulk confirmed
"They called you crazy, right?" Professor Phenomenus wondered
"Exactly." Bulk confirmed again as Skull nodded in agreement
Suddenly, Professor Phenomenus then lifts them up by the back of their shirts and escorts them to his van via their tippy toes.
"Boys, we've got work to do." Professor Phenomenus told them
He then reaches inside his van and grabs two white lab coats and hands them to the two.
"Here." Professor Phenomenus stated
Bulk and Skull just stare at the lab coats and then each other before taking them.
Meanwhile in downtown Angel Grove
After having left the Youth Center, we had gone to the Angel Grove Electronic Center and had bought all the electronic equipment needed to fix up and equip the Astro Megaship for our mission. We all had walked out of the store and up to Billy who had walked out of the store earlier as we see him holding the AM Scanner.
"Well, that's everything." TJ confirmed
Billy doesn't look up at us as he continues to look at the AM Scanner.
"What is Billy?" Trini inquired
"Everyone, follow me." Billy instructed as he walked off
We all looked at each other confused as we followed Billy as we hid behind the Electronic Store.
"We're being followed." Billy mentioned
We put our stuff down and look behind the building.
"By who?" Carlos inquired
Suddenly we then see several Quantrons appear. We all then get into fighting stances
"Whoa, who are those metal dudes?" Zack questioned
"Quantrons." Billy explained
The Quantrons then charge in towards us.
"Let's take them." I stated
We all then charge in and begin fighting off the Quantrons. I manage to duck under a Quantron's attack before kicking it in the chest sending it crashing to the ground. I then block a few more Quantrons attacks before doing a spinning kick sending them flying to the ground.
"Guess my training on the ship has been paying off." I mentioned
Normal POV
Carlos and Cassie had teamed up and took on a group of Quantrons as they block their attacks before going to the ground and kicking their legs out from underneath them sending them crashing to the ground. TJ and Ashley had also teamed up as the kick and punch several Quantrons to the ground.
Kimberly's POV
Zack, Trini, Billy, Jason, and I had grouped together and began taking down the Quantrons around us.
"Man, these freaks are harder than any of the Putties were." Zack stated
"Not to mention those Tengas." I added
I ducked as I sent an elbow to a Quantron's chest as Jason came over and grabbed it by its shoulders and spun it around and did a spinning kick sending it crashing to the ground.
"Why thank you." I thanked my fiancé
"Anytime." Jason assured
I lightly slap his chest as we turn around to see that Billy was easily taking down a few more Quantrons.
"Man, Billy sure has improved over the years." Jason mentioned
"Yeah no kidding." Trini agreed
Paul's POV
I then jump onto a ledge before flipping over a group of Quantrons and then sending a kick to the center Quantron's chest sending it crashing into the others sending them all to the ground. Suddenly, the remaining Quantrons then run off as the others come racing over towards me.
"You okay Paul?" Kimberly questioned
'Man, I really hate it when she becomes overprotective of me.' I thought to myself
"Never better." I assured
"So, they did follow us back to Earth." Cassie mentioned
"That's not good." Ashley added
"I'm sure they're after the shuttle." Billy pointed out
"They'll destroy it if they find it." I added
"Come on, let's go fast." TJ told us
"Agreed." Jason agreed
We all then rushed off.
Meanwhile back inside the Astro Megaship on the Bridge
"Alert. Quantrons detected." DECA informed both Alphas
The ship's alarms then begin going off. Alpha 5 then opens up communications with the Rangers.
"Ayi, yi, yi, yi! Rangers, we've got trouble." Alpha 5 informed them
"You best move it to NASADA right away on the double." Alpha 6 added
Meanwhile back in the city
"Right, copy that Alpha 5." Billy said into his Communicator
Billy then turned towards Jason, Trini, and Zack.
"Guys, I was able to reconnect your Power Coins to our Morphing Grid. You should be able to Morph." Billy informed them
"Cool." Zack stated
Billy then turned towards Kimberly.
"Kimberly, I have something for you." Billy told her
"For me?" Kimberly inquired
Billy nodded as he then brings out a silver device with a coin inside of it that resembles a Pterodactyl.
"Wait, is that?" Kimberly questioned in shocked
"Yes, your old Power Morpher and original Power Coin. I was able to recreate our old original powers and they are connected to the same Morphing Grid the Space Rangers use. You can now Morph into the Pink Power Ranger again." Billy explained
Kimberly smiled as she took it.
"Thanks Billy. You're a good friend." Kimberly thanked as she gives him a kiss on his cheek
Billy then turned towards the rest of us.
"We better all Morph and get to NASADA right away." Billy explained
I nodded in agreement as I then turned towards the others who nodded as well.
"LET'S ROCKIT!" I yelled out
We then opened up our Morphers.
"3.3.5." A computerized voice called out as we pushed the two buttons in order
We then pushed the enter button as it then beeps at us. Suddenly, the five of us Morphed into Space Rangers. Billy then gets out his red Power Ruby.
"PHANTOM RUBY, ENERGIZE!" Billy yelled out
Suddenly, his Phantom Ruby begins glowing bright red.
"PHANTOM RANGER, POWER UP!" Billy yelled out
Suddenly, Billy Morphed into the Phantom Ranger. Jason, Trini, and Zack bring out their Power Morphers with their Power Coins in it as the three of them along with Kimberly then trust them out in front of them activating them.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Jason yelled out
"MASTODON!" Zack yelled out
"PTERODACTYL!" Kimberly yelled out
"SABER-TOOTH TIGER!" Trini yelled out
"TYRANNOSAURUS!" Jason yelled out
Suddenly, Jason, Kimberly, Zack, and Trini morphed into the original Power Rangers. Billy then reached for his Communicator.
"DECA, position the shuttle for launch and evacuate the NASADA buildings. Immediately." Billy said into the Communicator
"Affirmative." DECA said through the Communicator
"All right guys, let's get moving." I told them
"Right." The rest of us agreed
Meanwhile at NASADA
The Shuttle bay doors open up as the shuttle is now in position for takeoff.
Meanwhile at the front of the NASADA building
In front of said NASADA building, Professor Phenomenus along with Bulk and Skull pull up towards the main building as Professor Phenomenus stops across the street. The Professor then gets out and walks over to the back of the van as Bulk and Skull looks at each other before getting out as well.
"NASADA. Professor, you're a genius." Bulk pointed out
"Professor, we're here because they got top secret, alien spacecraft." Skull stated
"NASADA, we're here because they've got satellites and telescopes the size of cannons." Bulk added
"We're here because we got a flat tire." Professor Phenomenus complained motioning towards the flat tire
The Professor just kicks it out of frustration as Bulk and Skull just stare at it. Suddenly, a beeping noise goes off inside his van as the Professor pushes Bulk and Skull out of the way as he grabs a big yellow homemade device as it beeps and vibrates. He then bends down and points it underneath his van causing both Bulk and Skull to step out of the way.
"Get that thing away from me." Skull muttered
Bulk and Skull just look at him confused. The Professor then gets down onto the ground and looks underneath the van and spots something.
"Here, aliens." Professor Phenomenus called out
The Professor just laughs as Bulk and Skull quickly goes over and lays down on either side of the Professor and looks over towards where he was pointing his device towards and only sees a sign that says 'NASADA'.
"That's a NASADA sign." Skull pointed out
"NASADA sign. Perhaps to the untrained eye. Hahaha!" Professor Phenomenus stated laughing
Bulk and Skull just looks at each over the Professor as Skull indicates that he has a few screws loose before going back down and looking at the Professor.
"Are you sure you're a world-renowned scientist?" Bulk questioned
He then just stares directly at him.
"I want to see some ID." Bulk ordered
Skull nodded in agreement. Suddenly, they then see several Quantrons appear right in front of the sign as Bulk and Skull just stare on in shock as the Professor just smiles.
Meanwhile on another side of the NASADA building
As we neared NASADA, we stop in our tracks as we then see a monster walking over towards us. A monster that looks like he just came out from inside a Computer Matrix.
"Oh no, it's Ecliptor." Billy pointed out
"Who's he?" TJ questioned
"He's trouble. I've had to deal with him quite a few times over the last few months." Billy explained
"The Power Rangers." Ecliptor stated
He just continues to walk closer towards us.
"What took you so long?" Ecliptor wondered
"We'll have to fight him as a team to beat him." Billy informed us
Suddenly, Ecliptor's eyes glows as he then produces a white color image like version of him.
"It's his cyber-shadow." Billy informed us
Suddenly, the cyber Shadow's eyes then fire a green energy attack at us sending us crashing to the ground. Suddenly, the real Ecliptor then blasts me with a red energy beam from his eyes causing me to be immobilized as he then lifts me into the air and swings me around a few times before tossing me aside causing me to crash land on the ground several yards away from the others.
"And that's just the beginning." Ecliptor stated
I then get back onto my feet as I then get into a fighting stance.
"What do you want?" I questioned
"Before I'm through, both the Rangers and the shuttle will be history." Ecliptor proclaimed
Suddenly, Ecliptor quickly charges in as he then grabs me by the neck and lifts me up a few inches from the ground.
"Paul." Kimberly called out
"And nothing can stop me now. Not you, and not your Ranger teammates." Ecliptor added
He then looks around for a moment before looking back towards me as I struggle to break his grip over my neck.
"Not even the Phantom Ranger, wherever he's hiding." Ecliptor mentioned
Ecliptor then tosses me aside as I crash to the ground with the others quickly rushing over towards me.
"Paul, are you okay?" Kimberly questioned as they helped me back to my feet
"I'm fine." I assured
Suddenly, Ecliptor is sent flying backwards to the ground as we then see Billy reappear in front of us with his Claw Hatchet in hand.
"You miss me?" Billy questioned
"I really hate it when you do that Phantom Ranger." Ecliptor stated getting back up
Billy then turned towards us.
"You guys better get your weapons." Billy suggested
"Right." I agreed
"Power Sword." Jason called out pulling out his Power Sword
"Power Bow." Kimberly called out pulling out her Power Bow
"Power Axe." Zack called out as he pulled out his Power Axe
"Power Daggers." Trini called out as she pulled out her Power Daggers
"Spiral Saber." I called out as I pulled out my Spiral Saber
"Astro Axe." TJ called out as he pulled out his Astro Axe
"Satellite Stunner." Ashley called out as she pulled out her Satellite Stunner
"Lunar Lance." Carlos called out as he pulled out his Lunar Lance
"Star Slinger." Cassie called out as she pulled out her Star Slinger
I then jump up into the air and strike Ecliptor in the shoulder as he grabs onto the blade as I charge forward pushing him along the way through several empty barrels as I then jump out of the way. Suddenly, the others come flying in right in front of me as they each get in a shot with their own weapons causing him to go flying to the ground several yards back.
Meanwhile back inside the Dark Fortress
"Destroy the Astro Megazord Shuttle." Astronema ordered
Suddenly, the Dark Fortress then fires directly towards NASADA.
Meanwhile back at NASADA
Suddenly, we then see a beam strike a nearby NASADA building destroying it as it the flames slowly goes towards the shuttle.
"NASADA." I called out
"Oh no, mom." Kimberly called out
"He's destroying everything." Billy mentioned
"Rangers." Ecliptor called out
We all then turned back towards Ecliptor who manages to get back up onto his feet.
"You've lost. Your time is up." Ecliptor informed us
Ecliptor then disappears.
Meanwhile back inside the Astro Megaship on the Megaship's Bridge
"Yo Ranger boys and Ranger girls. You've got to save the shuttle." Alpha 6 informed them
"Ayi, yi, yi, yi! Hurry Rangers before the shuttle is destroyed." Alpha cried out
Meanwhile back at NASADA
"Both Alpha's are right, we need to hurry." Carlos agreed
"Yeah, let's go." I instructed
"Right." The others agreed
We all then raced over towards the shuttle.
Meanwhile back inside the Dark Fortress
"Destroy the Astro Megazord Shuttle." Astronema ordered
Suddenly, the Dark Fortress then fires another beam right towards NASADA
Meanwhile back at NASADA
Suddenly, more blasts fire down behind us causing the flames to become bigger.
"Oh man, those blasts are getting more intense." Zack mentioned
"Hang on, we're almost there." Trini encouraged
"I just hope mom and all her co-workers got out okay." Kimberly hoped
As the flames got bigger, we then manage to reach the elevator that would take us all the way to the shuttle entrance as we got inside. Billy quickly pushes the up button as the elevator then goes up. Suddenly, the elevator door opens as we race in and see that both Kimberly's mom and Commander Norquist sitting in two of the seats.
"What the?" I questioned
"There's no time Rangers, we are about to lift off." Commander Norquist instructed
"We only have four seconds to ignition." Aunt Gina added
"Right." I nodded in agreement
Me and my team along with Billy, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, and Jason quickly rush over towards the main cockpit as TJ, Cassie, Carlos, Ashley, and I go to our normal spots with Billy, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, and Jason taking five of the empty ones as we all strap in. Suddenly, the Shuttle begins lifting of away from the NASADA tower.
"That was a close one guys." I pointed out
"But, we're not in the clear yet." Carlos mentioned
"Faster." Ashley cried out
Outside the Shuttle
Outside, the flames consume the launch tower causing it to explodes. The Shuttle manages to avoid being consumed by the flames as it then flies off of Earth and into the space.
Back inside the Shuttle
"Yes, I think we made it." Kimberly cheered
"All right, we did it." I stated
Meanwhile back inside the Dark Fortress
Astronema had seen the shuttle escape destruction as it then detached from its launch vehicle and is now flying back towards the Astro Megaship.
"Those Rangers are cleaver, but I'm more cleaver." Astronema mentioned
Meanwhile out in space
The shuttle then turns around as the main hatch doors on the Megaship opens up as the shuttle safely redocks with the Astro Megaship as the main hatch doors shuts.
Meanwhile back inside the Dark Fortress
"Change target. Lock Satellasers on Ecliptor." Astronema instructed
Astronema then looked at the Quantron standing near a machine.
"Fire" Astronema ordered
The Quantron nodded as it then pushed the fire button. Suddenly, the Dark Fortress then fires the Satellasers down towards Earth.
Meanwhile back in Angel Grove
Suddenly, the Satellasers lock onto Ecliptor causing him to grow thirty stories tall.
Meanwhile back inside the Astro Megaship
After the shuttle had redocked with the Astro Megaship, we all walked off the shuttle with all of us taking off our helmets with me returning to my normal height.
"Warning, Ecliptor has grown in size and is about to destroy Angel Grove." DECA warned
"Looks like we're not out of the woods yet." Carlos mentioned
Billy then turned towards TJ, Cassie, Carlos, Ashley, and I.
"Okay Space Rangers, you all know what to do." Billy instructed
"You got it Billy." I stated
I then turned towards my team.
"Let's go Rangers." I told them
"Right." The rest of them agreed
We all then raced back towards the shuttle.
Kimberly's POV
We all watch Paul and his team race back towards the shuttle.
"Come on, we can view the battle back on the bridge." Billy instructed
"Right, good idea." Jason agreed
"Let's go." Zack stated
Mom, Commander Norquiest, Trini, and I nodded as we all then followed Billy towards the ship's bridge.
Meanwhile back in the shuttle
Paul's POV
After having put our helmets back on remorping, the five of us reenter the shuttle and got into our assigned spots.
"Back to action." I called out
The two centerpieces then lowered down on either side of me.
"Let's blast off." I stated
I then grab onto the steering lever on my right side.
"Begin undocking procedure." I instructed
The mini latches unclipped from the Space Shuttle as the main shuttle bay door opens up as the Space Shuttle engines begin firing up.
"Disengage and fire thrusters now." I called out as I pulled it towards me
The final two latches release from the Space Shuttle as we then fly off and away from the Astro Megaship.
"What's our status TJ?" I questioned
"Everything is looking good Paul. Everything is in the green and all systems a go." TJ confirmed
"All right, let's bring it around and lock them together." I instructed
I then pull down the lever further as we then feel the ship go up and loop around as we then fly off back towards the Astro Megaship as we then begin seeing the ship transform before our eyes. The Astro Megaship then becomes the Arms, Body and Legs of the Megazord.
"Begin docking." I called out as I then shift the lever from side to side.
Suddenly the Space Shuttle transformed into the head.
"Let's lock it up." I called out pushing a button
Suddenly, the two parts then came together to form the Astro Megazord.
"Astro Megazord, online." I called out
I then push the center button in front of me.
"Fire thrusters." TJ, Cassie, Carlos, Ashley, and I commanded
Suddenly, the Astro Megazord's thrusters fire up as we then fly on towards Earth.
Meanwhile back inside the Bridge
Kimberly's POV
We all entered the ships bridge as we look around.
"Whoa, now this is awesome." Jason stated
"Totally." I agreed
"Now, this is a nice setup." Zack mentioned
"I agree." Trini agreed
Suddenly, I then happen to see not only Alpha that I have know all these years, but another one that looks slightly different but similar to Alpha.
"Alpha." I called out
"Ayi, yi, yi, yi! Kimberly. It's so good to see you again." Alpha stated as he rushed over towards me
"Hey Alpha." I greeted
I then give Alpha a hug.
"Hey, Alpha." Trini greeted as she along with Jason and Zack walked over
"What's up Alpha?" Zack inquired
"You're looking good Alpha." Jason mentioned
"Oh my, it's just like the good ol days." Alpha stated
Alpha then turned towards mom and Commander Norquiest.
"Gina, Stan. It's been a long time." Alpha mentioned
"Yes, it has Alpha." Gina stated
"Good to see you again old friend." Commander Norquiest greeted
"Yo, are you forgetting someone?" The other Alpha questioned
"Oh cool your circuits Alpha 6." Alpha 5 stated
Alpha 5 then turned back towards us.
"Guys, this is the other Alpha. Alpha 6. The two of us along with Billy and DECA mentor and guide the newest team of Rangers." Alpha 5 informed us
"Yo, it's a pleasure to meet all of ya." Alpha 6 greeted
"Same here Alpha 6." Mom greeted back
"DECA, what's our current status?" Billy inquired
"The Astro Megazord is now fully operational and we are now on course for Angel Grove." DECA informed us
"Put it on the Viewing Screen." Billy instructed
"On Viewing Screen now." DECA confirmed
We all then turned towards the Viewing Screen as we reenter the Earth heading for Ecliptor.
Meanwhile back on Earth
Paul's POV
Once we had reenter Earth, we then see Ecliptor look straight up at us.
"You won't escape this time." Ecliptor stated
We then land the Astro Megazord on the ground and face Ecliptor.
"Astro Megazord Saber." I called out pushing the activate button
Suddenly, the Astro Megazord Saber appears in its right hand just as Ecliptor charges in towards us. We then go and meet him halfway as we then clash our Sabers together. He manages to strike us once, but we manage to block his second attack and manage to get in a few blows causing him to go flying several yards away and to the ground. Ecliptor then gets back up.
"Watch carefully." Ecliptor told us holding his arms out in front of him
Suddenly, six more Ecliptors appear right in front of us.
"What the hell?" I questioned
"There's seven of them." TJ pointed out
Suddenly, all seven Ecliptors then swing their sabers at us striking us causing us to go backwards a few feet.
"Only one of them is real, but which one?" I questioned
"Cassie, use your Light Star Helmet Mode." Carlos instructed
"You got it. Locking on." Cassie confirmed
The top of her helmet then lights up.
"All right, he's in the center." Cassie informed us
"Good work." I commented
I then turned back towards the front facing Ecliptor.
"Astro Megazord Saber, now." I called out as I pushed the left shift lever towards me
Suddenly, the Astro Megazord Saber energizes as I then swing it towards the Ecliptor in the center causing him to stagger backwards and the six copies to disappear.
"That was good, but not good enough." Ecliptor proclaimed
"Once more, Energize saber." I called out
I then energize the Astro Megazord Saber once more as we then jump up into the air before coming back down and slashing down upon Ecliptor. Suddenly, Ecliptor then blows up disappearing into a million pieces.
Meanwhile back inside the Astro Megaship
Kimberly's POV
"Yes, they did it." I cheered
"Now, that was cool." Zack stated
"It sure was bro." Jason agreed
"It looks like the Earth as well as the universe is in good hands with the new team of Rangers." Trini mentioned
"I agree Trini." Kimberly agreed
I then turned towards mom and Commander Norqueist.
"Mom, while I am glad to see that the two of you are okay, I am just curious as to why you two had came with us?" I questioned
"We're here because Billy asked us to come." Mom told me
"I had asked the both of them to come. I figure we could use all the help we needed to get the ship up and running for when the Space Rangers and myself heads off to deep space to find and rescue Zordon." Billy explained
"So, where should we begin?" Commander Norquiest inquired
A bit later
Paul's POV
Aunt Gina, Commander Norquiest, Zack, Trini, Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Ashley, and I were helping both Alpha's on the bridge with some system checks after installing some of the new electronic equipment we had recently bought as we then see TJ, Cassie, and Carlos arrive on the bridge viva the Mega Lift and walks over towards us.
"Well, that's the last Velocity Junction." Carlos stated
"Great." Ashley stated
TJ then walked over towards Billy.
"Well, everything checks out." TJ confirmed
"Great, thanks TJ." Billy thanked
"And it looks like everything on the bridge checks out too Billy." Trini stated
"Yeah, you guys should be all set in going out there and find and rescue Zordon." Commander Norquiest added
"Thank you, Commander." Billy thanked
He nodded as Billy then turned towards Jason, Kimberly, Zack, and Trini.
"And guys, thanks for all the help today guys. Myself and the Space Rangers really appreciate it." Billy thanked
"Don't mention it bro." Jason assured
He then holds his hand out as Billy then smiles as he then clasps it.
"And always remember, we're all here for you Billy." Jason reminded him smiling
Trini, Zack, and Kimberly each put their hands on top of Jason's and Billy's.
"Always." Jason, Trini, Zack, and Kimberly assured
Billy just smiled at them.
"My friends, thank you." Billy thanked
They all smiled at one another as they then raise their hands in the air before high fiving each other. Mom and Commander Norquiest then walks over towards us.
"It's amazing isn't it?" Carlos inquired
"Yeah, it is." Cassie agreed
"You can tell that their friendship has never once change over the years." TJ stated
"It just goes to show you that no matter how much time has gone by or where life takes you, you can always count on your friends." Ashley explained
"For sure." I agreed
"Those five have been friends since they were little kids, even with most of them not around much anymore. Their friendships to one another as never once drifted apart. And now with Kimberly engage to marry Jason, that bond will only grow closer not just for them two, but for all their friends as well." Aunt Gina mentioned
"I couldn't agree more with you Gina." Commander Norquiest stated
Jason, Trini, Zack, Billy, and Kimberly then walked over towards us.
"You five were great out there today." Trini stated
"Yeah, with Billy guiding you, we have no doubt that you will succeed." Zack added
"Thanks guys." I thanked
Jason then places a hand on shoulder.
"And I have no doubt that you will carry on the Red Ranger legacy with honor, dignity, and respect." Jason mentioned
I just smile at him.
"Thanks Jase." I thanked
We then clasp hands with each other. Kimberly then walked over towards the two of us.
"Just be careful out there cuz." Kimberly cautioned
I just chuckle shaking my head.
"Always am cuz." I stated
She just chuckled too as she then hugs me and I hug her back.
"I'll always be here for you Paul." Kimberly assured
"Thanks Kimberly." I thanked
We then break the hug as Kimberly then kissed my cheek.
"And so well I honey, always know that." Aunt Gina reminded me
"Thanks Aunt Gina." I thanked as I hugged her and she hugged me back
"Well, I think the six of us better returned to Earth so that they can get going on their mission." Trini mentioned
"Yeah, I agree." Jason agreed
"I'll be more the willing to escort you six back to Earth in the shuttle." Billy offered
"Thanks, man." Zack thanked as they clasp hands
Both Alphas then walked over towards us.
"Oh, do please come back and visit us soon Rangers." Alpha 5 pleaded
"What Fivy said, it will get pretty boring up here without some visitors from time to time." Alpha 6 added
"Don't worry you two, we'll be back for sure." Trini assured
Billy then turned towards us.
"Guys, run one more test on the engines and then go ahead and relax until I get back. We'll begin our mission then." Billy instructed
"You got it Billy." TJ stated
"Space Rangers, on behalf of NASADA, I wish you all the best of luck and may your journey through space bring you all back home safely one day." Commander Norquiest stated
"Thank you, sir." I thanked as I then shake his hand
"Your father would be very proud of you Paul." Commander Norquiest informed me
I just smiled at him hearing that.
"Thank you." I thanked
He nodded as he then walks off along with Aunt Gina, Billy, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, and Jason wave goodbye towards us as we do the same as Billy walks with them into the Mega Lift as the door shuts in front of them. I then turn towards the others.
"TJ, you, Cassie, and Carlos go to the Engine Room and do the system tests. Ashley and I will do one more system check here on the bridge." I instructed
"You got it bud." TJ stated
TJ, Cassie, and Carlos then walked off as I then see Ashley walk over towards me.
"Hey Paul, how about a game of pool?" Ashley requested
I just look at her.
"I don't know, I never really played it before." I admitted
"Oh come on, it'll be fun. I'll teach you how to be a pro in no time." Ashley told me as she grabbed my arm
"But, what about the system checks?" I questioned
"Yo, don't worry about it Red, Fivy and I will take care of that." Alpha 6 assured
"Yes, you two go and relax for a change." Alpha 5 told us
"See, they got it covered. Come on." Ashley mentioned
She then drags me off the Bridge as we end up making our way over towards the Mega Lift as the door shuts behind us as we then go down to Mega Deck Three. A few moments later, the Mega Lift doors open as we walk off it and walk over towards where the Simi Deck is. Once there, Ashley just smiles at me as she then pushes a few buttons.
"Begin Pool Hall Simulation." Ashley commanded
Ashley then walked over towards the center of the room where the simulation would begin as it then projects an actual replica of a pool table in a pool hall. Ashley just turns towards me and just laughs with her hands folded in front of her as she walks over towards the pool table. I just sigh before walking over towards her over by the pool table.
"Ready for your first lesson?" Ashley inquired as she grabbed one of the cue sticks
"Ready as I'll ever be." I admitted as I put my hand over the other one
Suddenly, without thinking I end up using my telekinesis in front of her to lift up the remaining cue stick.
'Great, smart move dumbass.' I thought to myself
"Whoa, so that was you. Dumping the hot sauce." Ashley mentioned smiling at me
'Wait, she isn't freaked out by this?' I thought to myself
"Wait, you aren't freaked out by what I just did Ashley?" I questioned
"No, I think it's really cool." Ashley revealed
I sighed a silent sigh of relief as I then smile at her.
"Really?" I wondered
"Yeah, how did you do that? When were you able to learn that?" Ashley inquired
"It happened a few years ago just out of the blue. Ever since then, I have been practicing it in secret." I explained
"Does anyone in your family or old friends back home know about this?" Ashley inquired
"The only ones that knows of this is Kimberly, her mom, and my late father." I revealed
"Well, your secret is safe with me until you feel ready to reveal it to the others." Ashley assured
"Thanks Ashley." I thanked
"But, do you think you could maybe teach me how to do it?" Ashley requested
I just chuckled.
"Tell you what, you teach me how to be a pool shark, and I'll give you free lessons and pointers in telekinesis." I offered
Ashley just smiled as she held out her hand.
"Deal." Ashley told me
I just smile as I shook her hand sealing the deal between us. We then let go of each other's hand as she then takes the first shot in breaking the balls managing to sink in a few balls.
Meanwhile back inside the Dark Fortress
After the battle and making sure that the Quantrons were busy working on rebuilding Ecliptor, Astronema was sitting in her chair thinking of another way to defeat the Space Rangers.
"I've got to work smarter, not harder. Beat these Power Rangers at their own game." Astronema mentioned
Suddenly, a smile forms on her face.
"Yes, their own game." Astronema muttered
She then gets up from her seat and walks over towards her pet turtle. She then turns towards Elgar.
"You." Astronema called out
Elgar turns towards her as he dusts the Satellasers.
"The name's Elgar." Elgar mentioned
"Lock Satellasers on New York City." Astronema instructed
Elgar stops dusting as he puts his dusting hand on his hips.
"New York City? Anyplace in particular?" Elgar inquired
Astronema just smirks.
"Just the sewers." Astronema mentioned
"Cool." Elgar cheered
He then tosses the duster aside as he grabs the remote control for the Satellasers before aiming it towards the sewers of New York City.
"Now you're talking." Elgar told her
He then begins pushing the buttons on the remote.
"Blasting one New York City in five, four, three, two, one." Elgar called out
Suddenly, the Dark Fortress fires down towards Earth.
Meanwhile somewhere in New York City
Suddenly, the Satellasers' beam strikes a manhole cover in New York City as the it pops open with green smoke coming out from the sewers as then suddenly, the five Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Venus De Milo appears on the surface. They then all looked around confused.
"Anybody care to guess, what just happen?" Raphael questioned
"Someone's up to no good. Yup, no good." Leonardo pointed out
"But why?" Michelangelo questioned
"Yeah, why?" Donatello wondered
"This is all too strange." Venus mentioned
AN: Well, there is the fifth chapter to this story. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter and the changes I made in it. Now, you're probably wondering on some of the things I did add in and twisted from the original episode and I'll actually explain it more at the end's Author's Note in the next chapter. But, if you have questions, then feel free to ask, but note that the only way you'll all get a timely response from me, is if you have an account here and we are able to PM one another, or if you have facebook and go to my facebook page listed on my bio page here. I'll have the next chapter out either later tonight or sometime tomorrow. So, until next time, please R&R.
