Authors Note: Hey everyone, here is the next chapter. Now, this is a somewhat revamped version of Never Stop Searching but at least half of it, is closely the same as it was in the show. Now, I had gone back and forth between different ways to do this one and decided on this way. Also, I have placed in a small teaser to something that may interest you all, so be sure to check it out before reading the Author's Note at the end of the chapter. Now without further ado here is chapter seven of the lost series for your reading pleasure.
The Lost Story, Adventures In Space
Chapter Seven: Never Stop Searching
Inside the Astro Megaship within the rec room, TJ, Cassie, and Ashley walked in and up to Carlos as he is finishing up working on Paul's Galaxy Glider.
"Hey Carlos." TJ greeted
"Hey." Carlos greeted back as he sat up
"You need any help?" TJ inquired
"No thanks, I'm just about finished." Carlos informed them
"All right cool, see you in the morning." TJ told him
"All right. Good night." Carlos called out
"Night." TJ, Cassie, and Ashley called out
TJ, Cassie and Ashley then walked off as Carlos then stood up and wiped the board down then pushed it against the wall as he begins cleaning it up.
Meanwhile inside the Megaship's Bridge
Paul's POV
On the Megaship's Bridge, Billy and I were looking over some maps in trying to find Zordon.
"There are no life forms detected in this galaxy." DECA revealed
"All right." I stated as I pushed a few buttons to stop scanning the galaxy
"Okay then, start scanning in the next sector DECA." Billy instructed
"Beginning a scan of Delta Sector now." DECA confirmed
I then go over and sit down on one of the chairs on the Bridge and just sighed and rubbed my eyes.
"Hey, why don't you go and get some sleep Paul. It has been a pretty long day." Billy suggested
"I'm okay Billy. It's just going to take some getting used to this whole thing." I assured
"You sure?" Billy questioned
I just nodded.
"Yeah, and besides, I don't know if I can sleep right now anyway." I admitted
Billy just looked at me confused.
"How come?" Billy inquired
I just sighed.
"I have been having these weird and confusing dreams the last few days. I just can't seem to figure them out." I revealed
"Can you tell me what they are about?" Billy wondered
I just sighed.
"That's just it, shortly after waking up, I just forget it and every time I go to try and remember them, I forget it even faster." I explained
"It's possible that these weird dreams you are having may actually be memory fragments that you have really never really remember in the past." Billy theorized
"So, like memories of when I was a baby when I could barely remember anything of my surroundings?" I wondered
"Affirmative. It's possible, that something had happened when you were a baby and seems that just recently, it is slowly coming back to you in the form of dreams." Billy confirmed
I just nodded as I then recall something.
"All though, there is one thing that I remember from these dreams." I revealed
"What's that?" Billy wondered
"In each dream I see a girl with blonde hair. This girl seemed to know me, but I never really met her. At least, I don't think I ever did anyway." I explained
Billy seemed to ponder on this for a few moments before looking back over towards me.
"Do you think you could pick this girl out if you see a picture of her?" Billy inquired
"I probably could yeah." I confirmed
Billy just nodded as he walked over next to me as he then takes out a disc from his pocket and inserts it into the disc drive in the console and pushed a couple of buttons. Suddenly, an image a girl around the same age as Kimberly, Jason, Billy, Zack, and Trini appears on the Viewing Screen.
"Take your time and examine the picture and tell me whether or not this is the girl in your dreams." Billy instructed
I just nodded as studied the picture.
Normal POV
After having finished cleaning up the Red Galaxy Glider, Carlos had walked out of the Rec Room was about to walk into the Bridge when he stopped himself and moved a bit out of sight at Paul and Billy looking over a picture of a girl about the same age as Billy, and of his friends including Paul's cousin Kimberly and her fiancé Jason.
'Who is she?' Carlos inquired
Paul's POV
After looking over the picture for a good while before turning back towards Billy.
"She does look familiar to me, but the girl I had seen in my dreams was a little younger more so close to my age." I mentioned
"Here, take a look at this other picture." Billy instructed pushing a few buttons
Suddenly, the image on the Viewing Screen changed to that of a more younger looking girl but had similar looks to the older girl in the previous picture as my eyes goes wide seeing it.
"That's her, that's the girl from my dreams." I pointed out
Billy just nodded.
"The two images you just saw are indeed of the same person." Billy informed me
"But, who is she? And why does she keep appearing in my dreams?" I questioned
Billy just crossed his arms over his chest.
"While I can't answer your second question as it is still a mystery to me, I can however answer your first." Billy explained
I just looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"The girl you just saw in the images, is named Karone. She is the daughter that Zordon mentioned in the video I showed you and the other Space Rangers when the five of you came to the Megaship." Billy revealed
I just stare at Billy before turning back towards the images on the Viewing Screen.
Normal POV
Carlos just looked stunned at hearing what he had just heard but keeps quiet as to hear more of their conversation.
Paul's POV
I just continue to look at the pictures in front of me on the Viewing Screen.
"Has there been any luck in finding her?" I inquired
Billy just shook his head.
"No, afraid not. Shortly after you and the others became the Space Rangers, I had begun helping Alpha 5 in searching for her along with Alpha 6 and we have had no luck in finding her." Billy explained
I just looked at him before turning back towards the images on the Viewing Screen.
"I want to help more on finding her too." I stated
"You sure Paul?" Billy inquired
"Yes, after seeing these pictures and the girl I am seeing in my dreams is one in the same. I feel like that part of the message it is telling me is to help find her and rescue her." I explained
Billy just looked at me and nodded with a smile.
"Very well." Billy stated
"Rangers, it is getting very late, do you both wish to continue the search?" DECA inquired
"Yes, I do." I confirmed
"Same here." Billy confirmed
"Very well. Resuming the search on Delta Sector now." DECA stated
Normal POV
Carlos just took one last look in the Bridge before walking off to head for his quarters.
A bit later that night inside Carlos's Quarters inside the Astro Megaship
Carlos was lying in bed trying to get some sleep but can't stop thinking about Paul and Billy trying to find Zordon's daughter on their own as well as Paul having revealed that he is having strange dreams and only revealed them to Billy.
Meanwhile back inside the Astro Megaship's Bridge
Paul's POV
I continue to monitor a nearby small screen as I then see Billy roll up a universal map and put it away in a tube.
"Sector scan ninety eight percent complete, no lifeforms detected." DECA informed us
"Thanks, DECA." I thanked
I then see Billy walk over towards me.
"I'm going to bed Paul. I'm bushed." Billy revealed
"All right, I think I am going to stay up a bit longer before calling it a night." I explained
Billy just put a hand on my shoulder.
"All right, but don't stay up too late. Remember, even Power Rangers need sleep." Billy reminded me
I just chuckled.
"You almost sound like my cousin and aunt there for a moment." I pointed out
"Yeah, well if either of them especially Kimberly finds out that I allowed you to stay up this late, they kill me." Billy mentioned
I just laugh.
"Yeah, I agree with you there. Trust me, I wouldn't want any of them to find out about this either." I stated
Billy just laughed too as he waved towards me.
"Good night Paul." Billy told me
"Night Billy." I told him
"Good night DECA." Billy told her
"Good night Billy." DECA told him
Billy then turned around and walked off the Bridge as I continued to work on the console I am at.
"Paul, a lifeform has been detected." DECA informed me
"Where?" I questioned
"On Zordon's home planet of Eltar." DECA informed me
I just looked up at one of DECA's eye pieces on the Bridge in confusion.
"On Eltar?" I inquired
Then suddenly, something dawned on me.
"Of course, she wouldn't know that Eltar was abandoned after the attack by Dark Spector." I stated
I then walked over towards the Megaship's flight controls.
"She would go back to her home world." I mentioned
I then grab the steering levers and pushed a few buttons.
"DECA, set a course for Eltar." I instructed
"Setting course for Eltar now." DECA confirmed
Outside the Astro Megaship
Suddenly, the Astro Megahip headed then flew off from its current course and heads for Eltar.
Meanwhile the next morning somewhere in Angel Grove
Out in the middle of the outskirts of Angel Grove, Bulk and Skull were with Professor Phenomenus as he drives his tricked-out van down the road.
"Believe me, there are aliens right here on Earth." Professor Phenomenus informed them
"Cool, where?" Skull wondered
"How did they get here?" Bulk questioned
"They come as seedling aliens. Eggs that grow larger with each breath of the horrible creatures inside." Professor Phenomenus explained
Suddenly, a car honked at them as Professor moved out of the way to avoid hitting the other driver.
"Crazy Driver." Professor Phenomenus complained
Bulk and Skull just stare at him as Bulk then slowly begins getting a somewhat horrified look on his face.
"And when they grow bigger, and stronger, and more hideous." Professor Phenomenus continued
Bulk then suddenly begins looking down to his lap.
"And with every evil breath." Professor Phenomenus continued
Bulk closed his eyes for a moment and then when he reopen them, he then suddenly sees a weird looking green and purple egg sitting on his lap as his eyes goes wide.
"And one day, they break out and attack." Professor Phenomenus concluded
Suddenly, a brown sliming brown alien looking hand breaks out of the egg and latches onto Bulk's face.
"AHHHHHH!" Bulk screamed out as he reached up with one of his hands to try and pry it off
Skull turned towards Bulk and just screamed as well as he sees it. Professor Phenomenus quickly turns around to see what they were screaming about and only sees Bulk's right hand attached to his face while he uses his left hand to try and pry it off. As Bulk removes the hand from his face, he looks at it and sees that it is just his own hand as both him and Skull just nervously chuckle as they look back at the Professor who just shrugs his shoulders as he just turns back to the road. Skull just looks at Bulk oddly as Bulk just puts his hands back on his lap and looks down to see that there are no alien like egg there. They both look around as the Professor spots something on a field down the road.
"There, there it is." Professor Phenomenus called out pointing down the road
Skull just looks down the road as the Professor then pulls over to the side of the road and puts on the breaks causing the van to stop as he puts it in park and turns it off. Bulk and Skull then open up the back door as they get out.
"Ah…ah…I know it's here." Professor Phenomenus assured
Bulk and Skull then help the Professor out of his van as he just holds a somewhat tricked out computer keyboard hooked up to his tricked-out head gear.
"Yes." Professor Phenomenus muttered
The Professor then walks off as Bulk holds onto the cord that is attached to his head gear and keyboard as him and Skull then follow the Professor shushing one another as they slowly and quietly walk around to the other side of the van. The Professor then quickly spots what he is looking for and points towards it.
"There." Professor Phenomenus called out
Bulk and Skull look over towards where the Professor was pointing towards and only sees a bunch of watermelon laying around.
"An alien pod." Professor Phenomenus told them
"Uh, that's a watermelon." Bulk pointed out
Professor Phenomenus just smirks
"A watermelon?" Professor Phenomenus wondered
He just laughs.
"Perhaps to the untrained eye." Professor Phenomenus stated
He just chuckles some more as he then hands Bulk his keyboard as he then walks over towards one of them.
"But…" Bulk tried to muttered out as he and Skull try to straighten out the cords so that the Professor doesn't get pulled back and fall to the ground and hurt himself
Once he neared one of them, he then picks one up and looks at it as he chuckles and carries it back over towards Bulk and Skull.
"Yes, yes, yes." Professor Phenomenus muttered to himself
Bulk and Skull just stare at it as the Professor begins shaking it around.
"Come out you evil aliens." Professor Phenomenus called out
Bulk and Skull just look at him confused by what he is doing.
"Come out, you evil aliens." Professor Phenomenus called out again as he continues to shake it as it ends up hitting Bulk in the gut
The Professor stops shaking it as Bulk then hands Skull the keyboard.
"We'll take it back to the lab for Molecular Analysis." Professor Phenomenus informed them
The Professor then hands it to Bulk who takes it from him.
"It does seem a bit heavy." Bulk mentioned
Suddenly, a weird gulping noise is heard as Bulk and Skull just look at the Watermelon with concern.
"I think it moved." Bulk informed them
The Professor then puts his stethoscope in his ears.
"Hold it away, in case it pops out and latches onto your face." Professor Phenomenus instructed them
Both Bulk and Skull get tensed at hearing that as Bulk holds it out as Skull leans back away from it as does Bulk. The Professor then places his stethoscope onto the watermelon and moves it around trying to find a heartbeat. He then suddenly hears what sounds like a heart beating coming from inside it.
"I hear a heartbeat." Professor Phenomenus told them
Bulk and Skull just stands there and stares at the watermelon still tensed up.
"Ah, yes. I think it is scratching to come out." Professor Phenomenus confirmed
Bulk just freaks out more as the Professor moves his stethoscope away from it as Bulk quickly hands it over to Skull.
"I think I can hear it scratching." Skull mentioned
He then quickly hands it back to Bulk.
"It's going to hatch man." Bulk stated
He then hands it to the Professor.
"Here Professor." Bulk him
The Professor quickly hands it to Skull.
"Oh no, thank you." Skull stated
He then quickly hands it back to Bulk.
"You take it." Skull told him
"No thank you." Bulk stated
Bulk then hands it back to the Professor.
"Here, the honor is all yours professor." Bulk told him
"No, the honor is all for Skull here." Professor Phenomenus mentioned handing it back to Skull
"No, I insist that it goes to Bulkie." Skull stated handing it back to Bulk
"No, I insist that the Professor gets the honors." Bulk mentioned handing it back to the Professor
The three of them just keep shoving it back to one another several times. Skull quickly grabs it and holds up his finger signaling them to stop as they stop as Skull then hands the watermelon to Bulk and smirks at him as he pats his shoulder. Bulk just smiles and nods as he looks at the watermelon and realizes that Skull just tricked him.
"AHHHHHH!" Bulk screamed out
Bulk then tosses it up into the air as they all just look up at it from the air as it then comes back down right at Bulk.
"AHHHHHHH!" Bulk screamed out some more
Suddenly, the watermelon then crashes onto Bulk's head as it breaks in half with one half sitting on Bulk's head as it also splattered a lot of its insides in both Skull's and Professor Phenomenus's faces. Bulk just moves a piece away from his eyes as he begins spitting out some pieces that had flown into his mouth. The Professor then takes a small chunk from his face and tastes it as he just smirks.
"Aha, seedless." Professor Phenomenus informed them
Bulk and Skull just sigh as Bulk just spits out the rest of pieces that were in his mouth.
Meanwhile somewhere in outer space
The Astro Megaship slowly approaches a nearby planet.
Meanwhile back inside the Astro Megaship in the Rec Room
I don't know how much time has passed since setting the Megaship's course to Eltar was, but I then suddenly find myself slowly waking up having fallen asleep leaning on the table in the Rec Room.
"Paul." DECA called out
I slowly come too as I then half-awake look up towards DECA's eye piece.
"Hmm?" I mumbled not fully awake
"We have arrived at Eltar." DECA announced
I then stood up as I rubbed my eyes.
"Is anyone else awake?" I inquired
"Only you." DECA informed me
'Should I wake the others and we all go down there, or should I just go and check the surface myself?' I thought to myself
"Shall I awake Billy and the other Space Rangers Paul?" DECA inquired
'I can handle this myself. I know I can.' I thought to myself
"No, no." I told her
I then go over towards my locker and open it and take out the AM Scanner and shut it.
"I'll be back before they get up." I informed her
I then walked over towards the Jump Tubs.
"Good luck Paul." DECA told me
I nodded as I then motion my arm around right arm in front of me as I turned around and grab the top bar above the Jump Tube and slide down.
Meanwhile back inside Carlo's Quarters
Unknown to Carlos who is still laying down awake, Paul flies away from the Astro Megaship heading for Eltar.
Meanwhile on Eltar
Once I was on Eltar, I then jumped off the Galaxy Glider as I landed on the planet's surface.
"Wow, so this is Eltar." I muttered
I then begin looking around to see that I must be in a city as I look up towards the sky and see that it is purple.
"If it wasn't for the fact the sky was purple, I would say that I am somewhere on Earth." I mentioned
As I continued to look around, I noticed that Eltar as Billy and Alpha 5 had explained has been completely abandoned.
"Man, Billy and Alpha 5 were right. Eltar had been completely abandoned after that attack." I stated
I then begin walking forward as I continue to look around.
"If Zordon's daughter did manage to escape her captors, she has to be here and not to mention to be so confused by what has happen." I stated
I look around some more to see that there is no one here for miles.
"Karone." I called out
I just hear the eco of my own voice as I look around not hearing anything else but the wind.
"I have to find her." I muttered
Meanwhile inside the Dark Fortress
Inside the Dark Fortress, Astronema was sleeping on her bed in her room as then suddenly, a newly rebuilt Ecliptor peaks in at the sleeping Astronema as he just chuckles evilly.
"Sweet dreams my princess." Ecliptor muttered
He then walks off to the main console trying not to wake up Elgar who is just standing up leaning against the wall sleeping. He pushes a couple of buttons as then an image of Paul, morphed walks around Zordon's home world of Eltar on the Viewing Screen.
"Well, what do we have here?" Ecliptor wondered
"Karone." Paul called out through the Viewing Screen
"So, you have gone to Zordon's home world Red Ranger. Too bad, you weren't there to see it before we destroyed it." Ecliptor mentioned
Meanwhile back inside the Astro Megaship back inside Carlos's Quarters
Carlos just continues to lie in bed not having been able to sleep.
"Time to wake up Carlos." DECA informed him
DECA then suddenly turned on the lights inside his Quarters as Carlos just sighed.
"I'm already up." Carlos revealed
Carlos then moved the covers off him as he then goes to sit up as he ends up whacking his head on the edge of the top bunk.
"Ah!" Carlos complained rubbing the back of his head
He just stares at it for a few moments before going for the headband on his nightstand.
"Who designed these things anyway?" Carlos questioned
Meanwhile back in the Rec area
Inside the Rec area, TJ, Cassie, and Ashley were all dressed and eating breakfast as Ashely is at the Synthetron as it beeps letting her know her food and drink is ready as she opens it up and takes it out and looks at it.
"Well, it looks like bacon and eggs." Ashley mentioned
Ashley then sniffs her plate.
"But, it's a whole different story once you taste it." Ashley added
"Well, I happen to think it's good." TJ mentioned as he poured some ketchup onto his eggs
Cassie just laughed.
"How would you know with all that ketchup on it?" Cassie questioned
TJ and Ashley just laughed too as he then puts the ketchup bottle down as Ashley sits down and grabs the ketchup bottle. Suddenly, Billy and Carlos walked into the rec room both also dressed in their space uniforms.
"Morning." Carlos and Billy greeted
"Morning." TJ, Cassie, and Ashley greeted back
As Billy was getting his food from the Synthetron, Carlos happened looked at the table, and he quickly notices someone missing.
"Where's Paul?" Carlos inquired
Cassie just shrugged her shoulders.
"I thought he be with you guys." TJ mentioned
As Billy got his food out of the Synthetron, he moved to the table as Carlos went to get his.
"No, he isn't with us." Billy stated
As Carlos took his food out of the Synthetron after it was produced, he walked over towards the table setting his plate next to Billy as he then happens to look over to the side of the room and notice something else missing.
"Wait a minute." Carlos stated
He then looked at the others.
"Did you guys move the Red Galaxy Glider?" Carlos questioned
The others looked towards where Carlos was looking at and sees that it wasn't there and were just as confused as him.
"No." Ashley revealed
'Wait, I wonder.' Billy thought to himself
"DECA, did Paul leave the ship?" Billy questioned
"His attentions was to return before any of you have awakened." DECA explained
"Where did he go?" Billy inquired
"To the surface of Zordon's home world, Eltar." DECA revealed
"To Eltar?" Ashley wondered
"Why would he go there?" Cassie inquired
"Damn it, I knew I forgot to tell him something." Billy complained
"What is it Billy?" TJ inquired
Billy just sighed as Carlos sat down.
"He's probably down there looking for Zordon's missing daughter." Carlos stated
Billy just looked at him confused.
"Wait, you knew he was helping me in locating her?" Billy inquired
"While we all know now since coming to this ship that Zordon has a daughter and I figure that you had begun looking for her, I had passed by the Bridge last night while you showed Paul the images of Zordon's daughter. As well as him telling you he was having these weird dreams of her when she was younger as well." Carlos explained
"Why hasn't Paul told us about this?" Ashley inquired
"Can't really say I blame him for not telling us about these dreams." TJ stated
TJ then motioned towards Ashley, Carlos, and Cassie and then himself.
"I mean, the four of us just recently met him and he probably just doesn't quite trust us yet to tell us everything. Especially about the dreams he has been having." TJ explained
"TJ has a point. And from what I have remember and what Kimberly told me, Paul has always been like this. More so since his family was killed not long ago." Billy explained
"I don't like this, he should have been back here by now." Carlos mentioned
"I agree." Billy stated
He then got up from his seat and put his fork down as he walked over towards his locker and opened it and took out his AM Scanner from inside and shut it.
"I'm going to go check on him." Billy stated
"We'll go with you." TJ told him as the others start to get up
"No, you guys stay here." Billy stated motioning for them to sit back down
They all do slowly.
"We need to give him some space. It be best if I go alone." Billy explained
They sighed and nodded as Billy then went over towards his Jump Tube as he then motioned his arm around right arm in front of him as he turned around and grabbed the top bar above the Jump Tube and slides down.
Meanwhile outside the Astro Megaship
Suddenly a black/red beam shoots out of the Astro Megaship as the light dies down to reveal Billy Morphed as the Phantom Ranger.
"Hang on Paul, I'm coming." Billy assured
Billy then flew his Galaxy Glider down towards Eltar.
Meanwhile back on Eltar
I looked around not finding any traces of life near me as I then take out my AM Scanner and open it and push a few buttons as I begin searching for any lifeforms in the area. I gives off slow steadily beeps as I push a few more buttons. Having a feeling that I am being watched, I quickly turned around to see no one standing behind me.
"It has to be my mind playing tricks on me." I muttered
I then turned back to the AM Scanner and push a few more buttons, suddenly, it starts beeping rapidly as I then hear footsteps coming from behind me and see a shadow figure going behind a nearby building.
"Hey, wait up." I called out
I then rushed over towards the building and go around it to find no one as I look around and see a few different directions the mystery person could have gone towards.
"Karone, are you here?" I inquired
"Greetings Red Ranger." An evil voice called out
I quickly turned around saw a very familiar foe.
"Ecliptor." I called out
I quickly get into a fighting stance.
"Let me be the first to welcome you to Zordon's home world of Eltar." Ecliptor stated
He then motioned around the abandoned city.
"Though, I don't think anyone could call this disserted dust ball a home anymore." Ecliptor added
"What are you doing here?" I questioned
"I could ask you the same question." Ecliptor stated
He then points his finger at me.
"And now, to rid the universe of the annoying interference of the kid Red Ranger." Eclpitor declared
"Ecliptor, you're history. I may be a kid, but I am just as strong as any Red Ranger that has come before me." I informed him
I then move my arms around a bit before getting back into a fighting stance.
"Let's go." I told him
We then move around in a circle staring each other down for a few moments not moving as Ecliptor then grabs his cape and tosses it to the side as he then charges in at me. I quickly jump up into the air and extend my right arm out to punch him in the face but he quickly blocks it as he then quickly uses his other arm to punch me in the gut which causes me to double over in pain as he then quickly hits me in the back of the head which sends me crashing to the ground. I didn't have time to recover as Ecliptor grabs my throat as he then begins chocking me. I quickly use my free hand to grab my Astro Blaster to go blast him off me, but he quickly grabs it with his free hand.
"Nice try Ranger, but you'll have to do better than that." Ecliptor stated
He then twists my hand around causing me to lose my grip on my Astro Blaster as it then falls to the ground. He then quickly picks me up and whacks me on the side of all the pillars nearby before he then tosses me away as I go flying off crashing onto a small pond of water. I quickly sit up as I then see Ecliptor slowly walking over towards me.
"Hahaha! Looks like you're all washed up, Ranger." Ecliptor pointed out laughing evilly
I then quickly stand back up.
"Actually, I found it quite refreshing." I mentioned
I the move my hand out in front of me.
"Spiral Saber." I called out
Suddenly, my Spiral Saber appeared in my hand. As I then charge right back towards Ecliptor. He just stops walking and stands there as I strike him with my Spiral Saber several times, but he just stands there unfazed by my attacks.
'What is he made of?' I thought to myself
I go to strike him again, but he blocks my Spiral Saber by lifting up his left hand stopping it as he then kicks me in the chest with his right foot sending me crashing to the ground.
"Heads up." Eclpitor stated
Suddenly, his head pops off of his body as it then fired eye beams at me causing me to go back to the ground as it then lands on the ground several yards in front of me.
"Look who's a head of the game now." Eclpitor mentioned
"You wish." I told him
"Heads, I win, tails, you lose." Ecliptor stated
I then stand back up as his head then floats back up and comes flying at me as it strikes me in the chest causing me to stagger backwards a bit before it stops in midair and fires another round of his eye beams at me causing me to go crashing to the ground once more.
Meanwhile with Billy in another area of Eltar
After having arrived on the planet, Billy had landed on the surface and began walking around the abandon city on Eltar. Billy then got out his AM Scanner and activated it and pushed a few buttons trying to get a lock on Paul.
Meanwhile back with Paul
I quickly stood up as I then see Ecliptor pull out his sword with his head now floating near his body as we then clash blades with one another. His head strikes my chest causing me to lose my rhythm as Ecliptor then strikes my chest with his sword a few times before his final strike sends me crashing to the ground once more. I then see his head reattach to his body as he just chuckles evilly.
"I didn't think it would be so easy." Ecliptor mentioned
I happen to spot my Astro Blaster laying on the ground nearby.
"Though, then again. You're just a kid with no experience being a Power Ranger. So, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it is easy for me in beating you." Ecliptor added
"You'll soon find out that it won't be so easily, you grid line freak." I told him
He quickly charges in as I quickly roll over to my Astro Blaster and grab it as I also manage to duck under his sword as I stand back up and quickly aim it at him and fire it, but he just as quickly blocks the blast with his sword causing the laser beam to bounce back at me, striking me in the chest sending me flying to the ground once more. He then walks back over towards me as he then stomps his foot on my arm that is holding my Astro Blaster as he then holds his sword in front of me.
"Say goodbye Red Ranger." Ecliptor told me
"I don't think so Ecliptor." A voice called out
"Huh?" Ecliptor wondered
Suddenly, without warning, Ecliptor goes flying away several feet away as he crashes to the ground as I then see Billy morphed as the Phantom Ranger standing next to me.
"Phantom Ranger." Ecliptor muttered
"That's right Ecliptor, in the flesh." Billy stated
"Do you really think you can help him?" Ecliptor questioned
Ecliptor then quickly stands back up.
"Well, you're wrong." Ecliptor stated
Suddenly, I then see a fading blue image of his head appear in the sky as Billy just ignored him as he quickly knelt down next to me.
"Paul, are you okay?" Billy inquired
"Yeah, but…" I began to tell him
"Say goodbye to your Red Ranger." Ecliptor stated interrupting me
Billy quickly turned towards Ecliptor and sees what I had just seen.
"Oh no." Billy stated
Suddenly, blue grid image head of Ecliptor fires energy beams at me as I then see Billy quickly get up and stand in front of me and holds his arms out on both sides taking the blasts straight on, preventing them from striking me.
"Billy no." I cried out
Sparks fly off of Billy's suit as he then goes crashing to the ground as Ecliptor just laughs evilly.
"Billy." I called out
I then get back onto my feet as I then put my Astro Blaster back into its holster before rushing over towards him as I help Billy up as I then put his arm over my shoulder.
"Billy, what are you doing here?" I questioned
Billy just turned his head towards me.
"We're a team, remember?" Billy inquired
"But, this is my fight." I told him
I just look at Ecliptor before I help Billy onto his feet.
"Come on, let's go." I told him
I then support his weight on my shoulder as I walk him away a few feet.
"Galaxy Glider, Hang Ten." I called out
Ecliptor just grunts as my Galaxy Glider suddenly then flies down from the sky as it stops in front of Billy and me.
"Hang in there Billy." I told him
I then then gently lay him down on one side of it as his body just hangs limp over it as I then hop on in a knelt position and keeping one hand on him to keep him from falling down. I then look back at Ecliptor.
"I'll be back Ecliptor." I promised him
I then turned my Galaxy Glider around as I then fly off with Billy back to the Astro Megaship.
Normal POV
Ecliptor just watches on not doing anything as just stares at Paul flies off the planet with an injured Billy as he just chuckles evilly.
"Yes, I know." Ecliptor muttered
Meanwhile back inside the Astro Megaship inside the Medical Bay
Once I returned to the Astro Megaship and had demorphed me returning to my normal height with an injured Billy who had also demorphed upon our return, TJ, Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley helped me get him into the Medical Bay as we had lied him down on the bed as Cassie and Ashley went over his vitals as Billy just lies there asleep.
"Well, he's asleep now." Ashley stated
"He took a pretty hard hit." Cassie mentioned
"This is my fault." I muttered
I then happen to see the others look over towards me.
"Ecliptor was after me, not Billy." I stated
"Ecliptor saw you by yourself Paul, he knew you were vulnerable." Ashley explained
Ashley looked at the others who just nodded in agreement with her as she then looked back towards me.
"He would have attacked any one of us." Ashley continued
"I should be the one lying there." I told them
I then looked down at Billy just lying asleep on the medical bed.
"Not Billy." I muttered
"Paul, what affects one of us." Cassie began
She then looked at the others before looking back over towards me.
"Affects all of us." Cassie concluded
The others nodded in agreement with her as I just sighed and walked out of the Medical Bay.
Normal POV
The others just watch as Paul just walks out of the room as they all just sigh.
"He just doesn't seem to get it." Cassie stated
"Oh, he gets it all right." TJ assured her
He just looked at the open door that Paul had walked out of just a moment ago.
"He just, hasn't fully accepted it yet." TJ added
"TJ has a point, I mean, Paul is still new to all of this. And, it's up not only Billy, but us as well to help him learn everything there is to being a Power Ranger." Carlos pointed out
"I hope you guys are right." Ashley mentioned
Paul's POV
After having walked out of the Medical Bay, I slowly walk around the halls of the Megaship as I then lean against a wall and sighed as I run a hand over my face and just replay the fight from earlier in my head seeing Billy taking a blast that was meant for me. I then get a serious look on my face as I then walked off before going into a run rushing into the Rec Room as I head for my Jump Tube.
"DECA, I'll be back. Don't say a word to anyone." I instructed
"Affirmative." DECA confirmed
Once I stand in front of it with my back to it, I then motion my arm around right arm in front of me as I turned around and grab the top bar above the Jump Tube and slide down.
Meanwhile back on Eltar
After having remorphed and fly back down towards Eltar, I had jumped down to the ground and rush over towards the center of town.
"All right, Ecliptor, I'm back. Show yourself." I called out
I then begin hearing Ecliptor laughing evilly as I look around but can't seem to find him.
"Are you alone? Or, are you just so weak and helpless that you must rely on the help of others?" Ecliptor questioned
I continue to look around but can't seem to find him anywhere.
"Weak?" I questioned
I then ball my hands up into fists in frustration.
"I'll show you who's weak." I muttered
I then look up back at the sky as I look around trying to spot him.
"Come on Ecliptor, where are you?" I questioned
Suddenly without warning, a big stomping earthquake took me by surprise as I go flying off and crash onto the ground as I turned around and see that Ecliptor just grew thirty stories tall as Ecliptor just laughs evilly.
'My problems just got worse.' I thought to myself
I then stand back up as I look up at him.
"What's the matter? Can you only beat someone smaller than you?" I questioned
Ecliptor just grunts as he swings his sword around before bringing it down to the ground next to me striking it causing it to shake a bit as it causes me to go flying to the ground once more.
"That's it." I stated as I stood back up
I then jump up into the air.
"Spiral Saber." I called out
It suddenly then appears in my hand as I continue to soar up into the air ready to strike him once I got in striking range of his face but Ecliptor just swings his left arm to the side striking me causing me to lose my momentum as I go falling back to the ground. I get back up as Ecliptor just breaths fire out of his mouth as it strikes me causing me to go back to the ground.
Meanwhile back in the Astro Megaship inside the Bridge
On the Astro Megaship's Bridge, Ashley walked in and up to TJ, Cassie, Carlos, Alpha 5 and Alpha 6.
"Have you guys seen Paul?" Ashley inquired
They just look at her confused.
"Cause, I can't seem to find him anywhere." Ashley added
"Not since we were all with Billy." Cassie admitted
"Wait a minute, you guys don't think he went back down?" TJ wondered
They get a knowing look on their face getting the same feeling as TJ. TJ then looked at one of DECA's eye pieces.
"DECA, where's Paul?" TJ questioned
They got no reply from DECA as only silent greeted them
"DECA?" TJ questioned
Again, nothing but silent filled the room.
"Cassie, check on the status of Paul's Galaxy Glider." Carlos instructed
Cassie nodded as she then pushes a button to check on the status of his Galaxy Glider as she just sighed and looked back at the others.
"His Galaxy Glider is gone." Cassie revealed
"Let's go." TJ instructed
Carlos, Cassie, and Ashley nodded as the four of them then walked off the Bridge to head for their Galaxy Gliders.
"Yo, be careful Rangers." Alpha 6 called out
"Oh ayi, yi, yi, yi! I hope Paul is all right." Alpha 5 cried out worried about his young friend
Meanwhile back on Eltar
As I recover, Ecliptor quickly fires another flamethrower type attack at me striking me as it causes me to go flying to the ground once more.
"Cooked to perfection." Ecliptor commented
I just lay on the ground, holding my shoulder in pain as I just look up at him.
"Not even close." I told him
Ecliptor then raises his sword getting ready to strike me with it when suddenly, I then see laser blasts strike him causing him to stop his attack.
"Huh?" Ecliptor questioned as he turned towards where the blasts came from
I too looked up to see where they came from to see that it was TJ, Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley morphed and on their Galaxy Gliders holding their Astro Blasters out in front of them.
"All together now." TJ instructed
The four of them then took aim at Ecliptor.
"Fire." TJ commanded
TJ, Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley then fired at Ecliptor again causing him to stagger backwards a bit. The four of them then jumped off of their Galaxy Gliders as they rushed over towards me.
"Paul, are you all right?" Cassie questioned
"Yeah, I think so." I muttered
They all help me up as TJ and Ashley each put an arm around their shoulders.
"Let's get out of here." Ashley stated
"This way." Carlos stated
They then help me walk as we rushed away from Ecliptor.
"We have to stop Ecliptor." I mentioned
"Don't worry, we'll take care of him." Ashley assured me
"Yeah, we'll get him." TJ added
We then get out of sight as they help me lean against the wall. I then look down the ally way to see Billy Morphed as the Phantom Ranger slowly walk over towards us.
"Look, it's Billy." I called out
The others looked over towards where Billy was slowly walking over towards us holding his arm and limping a bit. We then see Ecliptor pear around the building having spot us.
"Hope I didn't miss anything." Billy stated
Having regained my strength, I quickly rushed over towards him with the others right behind me as I was the first to reach him and grab his arm to help support him.
"But Billy, you're injured. You shouldn't be here." I reminded him
Billy then looked right at me.
"I'm part of this team, remember?" Billy inquired
I just stare at him as he took a deep breath.
"And you're going to need all the help you can get." Billy added
'He's right. I was a fool to think I could do this by myself.' I thought to myself
I then looked back at Billy.
"You're right." I admitted
"Okay then, let's do this together Rangers." Billy stated
"Let's show him who he's messing with." Cassie added
"Right." TJ, Ashley, and Carlos agreed
I nodded in agreement as well as we all then looked up towards Ecliptor.
"Ecliptor, you're history." I told him
I then looked at the others.
"Let's go." I told them
Ecliptor just grunts as we all then runned out into the opening.
"All right everyone let's do it." I instructed
TJ, Cassie, Carlos, Ashley, and I then brought out our Astro Blasters while Billy brought out his Claw Hatchet.
"Astro Blasters." TJ, Cassie, Carlos, Ashley, and I called out
"Claw Hatchet." Billy called out
We all then pointed our weapons up at Ecliptor.
"Fire." We all commanded
We then fired our weapons at Ecliptor but he manages to just block our attacks with his sword.
"Nice try." Ecliptor told us
"We need more power." Carlos pointed out
Billy then reached for his Communicator.
"Alpha 5 and Alpha 6, lock the Mega Lasers on Ecliptor and fire when ready." Billy said into his Communicator
Meanwhile back inside the Astro Megaship on the Birdge
Alpha 5 pushed a few buttons.
"Mega Lasers locked on target." Alpha 5 confirmed
"Firing now." Alpha 6 added pushing the fire button
Suddenly, the Astro Megaship began blasting down towards Eltar right where Ecliptor is standing.
Meanwhile back on Eltar
"All right, here goes nothing." Billy stated
Suddenly, we then see the Astro Megaship's Mega Lasers fire upon Ecliptor as it strikes him dead center causing him to stagger backwards a bit.
"Not bad Rangers, but it's going to take more than that to defeat me." Ecliptor stated
"Looks like we may have to take it up a level." TJ mentioned
"I agree." I agreed
I then looked over towards Billy.
"Care to join us on this one Billy?" I inquired
"You know it Paul." Billy assured me
I nodded as I then reach for my Communicator.
"Astro Megazord transformation sequence online." I called out
We all then raised our hands into the air as the six of us then teleported away.
Meanwhile inside the Space Shuttle
Once we had teleported back into Astro Megaship, we had then raced into the Space Shuttle as TJ, Cassie, Carlos, Ashley, and I got into our assigned spots as Billy took one of the empty seats.
"Let's do this." I told them
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 as I pushed down on it.
"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, Billy and I commanded
Suddenly, the Astro Megazord's thrusters fire up as we then fly on towards Eltar.
Meanwhile back on Eltar
Once we had reentered the planet, we had landed on the ground next to Ecliptor.
"Well, looks like you've all return for round two." Ecliptor commented
"Yeah, but only this time, you're going down Ecliptor." I told him
"We'll see about that Rangers." Ecliptor stated
Ecliptor then charges in at us with his sword out in front of him.
"Astro Megazord Saber." I called out pushing the activate button
Suddenly, the Astro Megazord Saber appears in its right hand as we then bring it up and block Ecliptor's attack.
"Astro Megazord Blaster, power up." I called out
Suddenly, the Astro Megazord Blaster appears in our Megazord's hands as it is a transformed version of the Shuttle's launch vehicle as we then point it right at Ecliptor's chest.
"Huh?" Ecliptor questioned
"Astro Megazord Blaster, fire." I commanded pushing the fire button
Suddenly, the Astro Meagzord Blaster fired several blasts right in Ecliptor's chest sending him flying the ground.
"You'll pay for that dirty trick Rangers." Ecliptor stated slowly getting back to his feet
"Looks who talking you grid line freak." Ashley pointed out
"Let's finish this. Energize Astro Megazord Saber, now." I called out pushing down on the control lever
Suddenly, the Astro Megazord Saber energizes as we then jump up into the air before coming back down and slashing down upon Ecliptor. Sparks fly off of his body as he just staggers around trying to stay up right.
"You may have won this battle Rangers, but trust me, I will return and have my revenge." Ecliptor promised
Ecliptor then disappeared.
"Hmm, I guess all henchmen are the same no matter who or how strong they are." Billy stated
"Yes, I knew it would be a lesson to him." Carlos cheered
"Yeah, we sent him running scared." Billy mentioned
Billy then held his arm.
"Ooh, my arm." Billy muttered
"You going to be okay Billy?" Cassie inquired
"Nothing to worry about Cassie, I'll be fine." Billy assured
I just sighed as I stood up and just stare out of the Astro Megazord's cockpit window staring at the empty city where Ecliptor once stood.
"Paul?" Ashley inquired
"Hey, we did it bud." TJ told me
"It was a trick, I can't believe I let him fool me like that." I muttered
I then feel a hand on my shoulder as I turned around to see that it was Billy.
"Come on Paul, let's get out of here." Billy told me
I just sighed and nodded.
Meanwhile a while later back in space inside the Astro Megaship inside the Megalift
After having spent some time alone in my Quarters I had decided to head for the Bridge as I wait for the Megalift to take me there. After hearing a ding, the doors open to the Bridge as I walk in and see TJ, Cassie, Carlos, Ashley, and Billy in there as they turned around and face me.
"Hey guys." I greeted
I then turned towards Billy.
"So, how are you feeling Billy?" I inquired
"I'm doing better thanks." Billy thanked
I just nodded as I walk over towards him.
"And, I'm really sorry for what had happened to you down on Eltar Billy." I apologized
"I know you are bud, and I don't blame you for it." Billy assured me
"And we also know why you went down there by yourself. You were hoping to find Zordon's daughter Karone." Carlos mentioned
"Yeah, but she wasn't there. Ecliptor fooled me." I explained
"And, that was partly my fault. I should have made mention that had you discover anything that could lead to Karone or of some kind of lifeform energy that to inform all of us about it first." Billy admitted
"What Billy is trying to say is that you don't have to do these things alone Paul." Cassie mentioned
"Yeah, that's what being Power Ranger is about, is also helping out each other." TJ explained
Ashley then puts an arm around my shoulder.
"No matter what the problem is." Ashley added
"All in all, we're a team. And, that is what being part of a team is all about." Carlos concluded
I just smile at them.
"We make a pretty good team, don't we?" I inquired
"Yeah, we do." Carlos agreed
Billy then brought his hand out for me to shake.
"And you're a big part of it, Paul." Billy mentioned
I just smiled as I then accept his gesture as we then shook hands. We all just laugh as I we high five one another.

POWER RANGERS TURBO: KING MONDO'S REVENGE
FULL TRAILER COMING SOON!
AN: Well, there is the seventh chapter to this story. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter and the changes I made to the episode along with a teaser to a new story. To explain the teaser, yes, as you can see, it is a team up between the Turbo Rangers and Zeo Rangers, but this one is connected to this very story as it shows the events of the time when TJ, Cassie, Carlos, and Ashley. Along with Justin and Zeo Rangers finding out that Billy is the Phantom Ranger. So, this story will be released before I do the next chapter for this story. Now, to explain what why I did, what I did in this episode. First off, like I stated above, I was going back and foruth as to how I wanted to do this, and at one point, I was thinking on it being Billy that had done what Paul had done, but I decided that it be better if I had it be Paul do what he did, somewhat like with Andros in the actual episode. Second, I know that originally that there wasn't a Megazord fight in the episode itself, but for those that have seen the Sentai counterpart to In Space Megaranger, you would know that episode 8 of Megaranger, all of the fight footage from that episode was used for this episode the chapter is based on, but also would know that Ecliptor's counterpart, Yugande did end up fighting the Astro Megazord's counterpart, Galaxy Mega and that footage from episode 8 was used in episode 3 of Power Rangers In Space, Save our Ship. In all, I just got to thinking back to season 3 of MMPR and how they used the same Sentai footage of Rito when fighting the Zords since there really only was one as those that have watch Kakuranger knows what I am talking about. So, I chose to do a Megazord fight in this one, but instead of doing something that would have been done in Power Rangers had they did it, I did my own version of it. Now, this story is all caught back up to its original posted content with seven chapters, so it is going to be put back on hiatus as the next chapter I have planned for this now is an original chapter which again like with the next one for A New Home, is going to feature a monster that will appear in the Prequel story for A New Life, so until I get that one posted along with the Prequel to this story posted, this will be put back on hold. But, I will be soon reposting Shift Into Turbo to a certain point so be on the lookout for the revised version of that story here soon. So, until next time, please R&R.
