The golden light finally reached Earth. It landed in Africa, and had the appearance of a meteor striking the surface. Several kinds of animals ran away. The light transformed back into Lerigot and he found himself in a bird's nest. He looked around and knew that he was nowhere near the Power Chamber. He looked inside the nest and smiled.
There were two chicks, probably only a couple weeks old. They chirped sweetly, then began to peck at Lerigot's feet. In response, Lerigot tried to get away from the chicks. They continued to tap at his feet, until he fell out of the nest with a scream. The chicks looked down the nest and sadly watched Lerigot get up.
He heard a lion's roar, turned around, and screamed at the sight of the carnivore. The lion roared again, but this time in hunger. Even though the lion was tempted to eat Lerigot, all it did was stare at him and lick his chops. Lerigot grew more confident in the creature and mistaken the lion for Alpha.
"Alpha," Lerigot asked, using the only word he could speak in English. He kept on repeating the name, and he thought that the lion understood, because the lion crept closer towards him in curiosity. When the lion got close enough, Lerigot cast a very minor spell, in attempts to understand the lion. But the sparkles that left Lerigot's fingers was enough to frighten the lion. In fear, it ran away, and Lerigot was unhappy.
He walked around, repeating Alpha's name and trying to find him, Zordon, or anyone that might help him. He found no one.
"Ay-yi-yi, Zordon," Alpha said in extreme concern. "Lerigot, the wizard of Liaria, is here on Earth! Uh, Zordon?" The head that was normally in the ion tube was not there; Alpha began to look around. "Uh, Zordon, where are you?"
The head appeared in the tube and said, "I'm here, Alpha."
Alpha turned around again, startled. "Zordon! Yikes! You scared the dials out of me!"
"I'm sorry, Alpha, but I, too, sensed the arrival of Lerigot and was tracking his whereabouts."
"But why would he come here? He knows he can't survive on Earth for very long."
"Something must be terribly wrong. You must pinpoint his location and contact the Rangers. I heard that they have some new friends, so we will invite them as well. I know it's a risk to reveal the secret, but if Lerigot's in trouble then we'll need all the help we can get."
Alpha didn't need to be told twice. The robot never disobeyed an order from Zordon. "Right, Zordon. Beginning a world-wide search now."
At the hospital, Rocky was sleeping. Justin quietly snuck into the room, unnoticed by anyone, and closed the door. He tried to wake Rocky up by softly calling his name. But, suddenly, Justin heard minor laughter behind the door, and his underneath the bed, being the only place to hide.
Rocky's "Ranger friends", and their new friends entered the room and Ron gently shook Rocky to wake up. Rocky smiled when he saw his old and new friends, but no one knew about Justin being in there.
"Hey there, Tough Stuff," Kim said playfully. She and Monique giggled at that name, and Rocky smiled a little.
"We brought you a surprise," Monique said.
"Flowers," Kat said. Each of the girls brought a set of flowers; one set was yellow from Tanya, one pink set from Kat, one red set from Monique, and one purple set from Kim. Tommy came closer to the bed.
"Got you a card," he said. He held up a card that was about half his height that said, "Get Well Soon."
"Giant cookie," Wade held up a huge cookie that also read, "Get Well Soon."
Adam released six helium balloons that were on the same string to the ceiling; one green, one red, one pink, one purple, one yellow, and one black, saying, "And some decoration." Everyone softly giggled, even Rocky. But Justin remained silent.
"The doctor said that you're going to make a full recovery," Tanya said.
"Yeah," Rocky said, "but not in enough time for the competition. It looks like you guys have to go one without me."
"It looks like we don't have a choice," Adam said. "Especially with the fact that if we don't get the grand prize, the shelter is going to close down for good."
"And Justin is taking this pretty hard," Kim added.
"Yeah; it's bad enough he lost his mother," Kat pointed out. "Now, he has to face losing shelter." Rocky sighed.
"But we're not going to let that happen," Tommy added. Justin was tempted to crawl out of the bed to let them know that he was hiding under there. But he remained motionless when he heard a ringing noise. It was Kim's cell phone.
"I'd better take this," Kim said before giving Rocky a smile. "Cheer up." She, Ron, Monique, and Wade exited the room. Kim then answered her phone. "Hi mom."
"Hi Kimmie. How are things going?" Anne said on the other line.
"Not good. Rocky's gonna get better though. But not in time for the competition." Kim said sadly.
"Well cheer up honey. Listen, tomorrow me, your father and the boys are going to go scuba diving. You can join us if you want." Anne suggested.
"No thanks. I think me and Ron are just gonna train some more."
"Well alright. You have fun with your new friends. Bye."
"Bye mom. Love you." Kim then hung up her phone.
Back in the hopsital room, Justin heard a beeping sound. It was the Rangers' communicators. Tommy answered, "This is Tommy, go ahead."
"Rangers," Zordon said. "Report to the Power Chamber. A powerful wizard has arrived on Earth and may be in danger." Justin couldn't believe what he had heard, especially the first word. "And please bring your new friends. We need all the help we can get."
Tommy was sure that he heard Zordon to bring Kim, Ron, Monique, and Wade to the Power Chamber. It was a rule for nobody to know the Rangers true idenities. Tommy was puzzled as to why Zordon would allow them to break this rule now. But, all he could say was, "We're on our way. Tommy out."
Everyone looked at Rocky, who said, "You guys heard Zordon; what are you waiting for?"
"We'll let you know what's up," Adam promised.
"Take care," Tanya said.
"Be careful," Rocky warned.
"Thanks," Kat said.
"Let's get them," Tommy commanded. Just then, Kim, Ron, Monique, and Wade came back into the room. "Oh, there you are."
"Hey," Kim said.
Tommy and Kat grabbed their new friend and had them stand next to them and the other Rangers. "What's up?" Ron asked.
"Look, we need your help," Tommy explained. "Right now, we're gonna show you guys something that's gonna blow your minds. But, you gotta keep it a secret. All of you."
"No problem," Ron replied.
"My lips are sealed," Monique said.
"Mine too," Wade added.
Kim didn't answer and Tommy didn't need her too. Kim just nodded. "Alright, let's go."
In a moment, a rainbow flash of lights filled the room. Both Rocky and Justin had to shield their eyes. When the lights disappeared, Justin looked to where he normally saw the feet. He saw nothing, and gasped quietly in awe. He started to crawl out from underneath the bed.
Even though his hair was short, it got caught in something under the bed. "Ouch," he said louder than he intended to.
"Who's there," Rocky asked in surprise. Instead of answering, Justin crawled from underneath the bed and had his back towards Rocky. "Justin? Did you just hear all that?"
Justin turned around in shock. "You guys are the Power Rangers?"
