Chapter Twenty Three-Around the Universe in Eighty Seconds

Ted's vision cleared, to reveal a startlingly white room that looked very much like the command center. But one look at the people standing around told him that this was definitely not the command center.

"Someone help them. She's injured." The same voice as before spoke, it was a man standing by one of the computer's on the other end of the room. He then looked at the rest of them. "Who are you? And how did you achieve teleportation?"

Billy took charge. "We are some of the former and current power rangers of Earth." Somehow, he knew that this was the right thing to say to these strange people. Something gave him the feeling that they were power rangers as well, but from another planet.

"Power rangers?" The man said. "From Earth? Earth hasn't had or needed power rangers since who knows how long ago?"

"Sixteen years." David supplied. "And we are the power rangers."

"Then what are you doing here, on Eltar?"

Aisha, Rocky, Billy, Kat, and Adam all gasped. It was Aisha who spoke. "We're on Eltar? You mean like the Eltar that is the home of Zordon?"

"The one and only." The man answered, still unsmiling. "But what are you doing here? And how do you know about Zordon?"

Crystal stepped forward. "You ever heard of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd?"

The five people in the room nodded. "They died when Zordon did."

Crystal nodded her agreement. "They had kids. Their daughter, Scarlette tried to, well I don't know what her plan is exactly, but last time she came to earth, she tried to kidnap Doctor Thomas Oliver. To make a very long story short, he was saved, but now she's back, and she still wants him, or more importantly his power."

"Who is this Thomas Oliver?" A woman asked. "The name sounds very familiar."

"Have you been keeping tabs on any rangers?" David asked. They all nodded. "He is the original green and white ranger, the red zeo and turbo ranger, and the black dino thunder ranger."

"He is called the greatest ranger ever." Rocky supplied.

"Oh, that Thomas Oliver. Wasn't he evil?"

"That isn't important now." David said. "What is important is that we just escaped form a dark dimension in Scarlette Repulsa's throne room. My sister was injured by her, and we have no idea how we ended up on Eltar. Do you think you could help us?"

"Anything for Zordon's rangers." The man said, speaking again. "But what are your names, first of all? It would be a nice thing to know. And while we're on the subject, colors?"

"David Oliver, blue."

"Jason Oliver, red."

"Kimmie Cranston, purple."

"Billy Cranston, original blue."

"Kaylie Scott, yellow."

"Kat Scott, pink."

"Ted Park, green."

"Adam Park, black and green."

"Aisha Taylor, yellow."

"Crystal Moon, white."

"Kira McKnight, yellow."

"Conner McKnight, red."

"Ethan James, blue."

"Trent Hernandez, white."

"Rocky DeSantos, red."

"And that is Ann Oliver, pink, over there." David said, pointing to where they had put his sister, to tend to her injuries.

"You certainly have a lot of the same color's on your team." The woman from before commented. "By the way, my name is Charisse, yellow."

"I'm Andrew, green." Another man said.

"Kristen, pink."

"The names Lance, red." The first man said. "And that's Timothy over there with Ann."

"So." Charisse said. "What's with the color's?"

"We're from three different teams." Billy explained. "Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and I are from the original Ninjetti team. Kat here replaced our original pink ranger when she left. Kira, Conner, Trent, and Ethan are the dino thunder rangers, from the last time we had rangers, they were also Ninjetti. And the other's are all the current Ninjetti team."

"You possess the power of the Ninjetti?" Andrew said excitedly. "No one from Eltar has ever been able to get those powers. They have all either been sent away by Dulcea, or died in the attempt."

"She tried to kill Tommy." Billy said. "But then we mentioned Zordon, and she was totally different with us. That was when we where after the Great Power."

"You were the rangers who got the Great Power?" Kristen said. "You're famous here for it. Because you were Zordon's rangers."

"I wish Zordon was still here." Charisse commented. "We could sure use some help."

The Earth Rangers looked at each other, they asked silently, should we tell them?

"What do you mean, 'you wish Zordon was still here'?" David asked carefully.

Charisse looked at him strangely. "Well, he's dead. It's kind of lowered moral here for the past few decades, increased the demand for power rangers to help out. Many people have resorted to violence to make a living. It's terrible. We are some of the lucky few who managed to escape all of that."

"But Zordon isn't dead." Aisha said. "He was there for Billy's wedding."

"And, he's our mentor." David said.

"Zordon is alive?" Lance said. "Why hasn't he tried to contact us? This is his planet, he should know that the people here need him."

Timothy walked over just then. "She'll be fine, I'm going to move her to a more private room though. Is that alright with you?"

David nodded. He knew he could trust these people if this was Zordon's home planet. Timothy walked away, with Ann beside him on a bed that was hovering slightly off of the ground. David turned back to Lance and the other alien rangers.

"I don't know why he hasn't contacted anyone here, but I'm sure he had a very good reason."

"I suppose your right." Charisse said. "Zordon has reasons for everything. And all of them make perfect sense."

Kristen, Andrew, and Lance nodded their agreement.

"Well anyway." Billy said. "Do you have any way that we could get back to Earth? I'm afraid we need to get back as soon as possible, our planet is in danger."

The rangers glanced at each other, and Kristen spoke. "We do not have a large enough power source for intra-galactic teleportation. We have ships that could probably take you, but it would take a few months."

"Months?" Aisha repeated.

"But school starts next month." Jason said. Everyone stared at him.

"That is not usually something children here on Eltar look forward to, or on Earth it appears." Andrew said. "And I can tell from the looks on all of your faces, Jason is not someone you would expect to say that."

"You can say that again." David said. "What's with you wanting to go to school Jason? To tell you the truth it's kind of creepy. Are you sure you are really Jason and not Zachary?"

"I am positive. And I am just trying to look out for our parents here." Jason added. "What could they say that would convince the principle that we needed to skip school for a couple months?"

"No idea." Kimmie said.

"Speaking as a parent of one of those children this concerns." Kat said. "You could always be pulled out of school for the first half of the year, and home-schooled. Some of your parents, aunts, and uncles are teachers."

"One of these children is yours?" Charisse said. "Which one? Here on Eltar, if the parents were former rangers, the children very rarely get chosen to become rangers themselves. I think it has only happened once ever maybe twice, to Zordon himself actually."

"Kaylie is my daughter." Kat said pointing at the girl.

"Do any of the rest of you have children as well?" Kristen asked. "Excluding you younger rangers though. I really hope none of you have children."

"Well," Billy said. "This is my daughter Kimmie."

"My adopted son Ted." Adam said, gesturing to the boy next to him.

"I have three children back on Earth." Aisha said.

"I have a five year old, also back on Earth." Rocky said.

"We have a baby boy on Earth." Conner said, pointing to himself and Kira.

Ethan and Trent shook their heads, that no they didn't have any children.

"Ann and David are actually my older brother and sister." Jason said. "And I have two more brothers on earth as well. We're triplets. Ann and David are twins."

Just then Timothy walked back into the room. "She just woke up." He announced. "She's asking for a person by the name of Ted, I believe it was."

Adam smirked at his son, who rushed out of the room after Timothy. David shook his head at his best friend's back. Kimmie and Kaylie tried very hard to hold their giggles in.

"So where were we?" Lance asked. "What do you say about the ship?"

"I say we go for it." Conner said. "Look at the situation logically. It'll only take a few months to get back that way, and it could take years if we wait for them to find a power source. Now personally, I don't think I could last that long, but it's the only chance we have of getting back."

After a quick conference, everyone agreed with Conner, for once, but before they could say anything, Ann walked back into the room with Ted. She was limping slightly, and leaning on him for support. He didn't seem to mind.

"Ann!" David said. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine now. Thanks to all of you, and Timothy of course."

"Oh, Ann." Crystal said suddenly speaking for practically the first time since they got there. "I'm so sorry."

"It's alright." Ann said, trying not to look surprised at what the girl was saying.

"No it's not." Crystal insisted. "I feel like it's all my fault that this happened."

"But it's not." Ann said. "The blame rests solely with that pathetic excuse you have for a sister. You had nothing to do with it. There's nothing you could have done."

"Hold up a minute." Kristen said. "I'm confused. Why would you think this was your fault Crystal?"

"Because." She said. "My older sister is the one who did all of this to Ann."

"Your sister?"

"I have the unfortunate task of being related to the most evil people in the universe. My parents were also Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa. My sister is Scarlette Repulsa, Empress of all Evil. But don't worry, I'm not evil. My sister was so ashamed of me, that she changed my last name, so no one would think we were related. My last name is Moon, she got hers from mother."

"Well." Charisse said. "I'm glad to see that someone on your family tree finally realized that it is much better not being evil."

"Isn't everyone?" David asked.

"But back to what we were saying before." Ethan said. "Are we gonna take the ship or not?"

"What ship?" Ann questioned. She had been unconscious for the discussion from before.

"The only way to get back to earth is to fly a ship there." Trent explained. "There isn't enough power to teleport, and the flying will take a few months. There are no other options, so we decided that flying will be our best bet."

"But what about everyone on Earth?" Ted questioned. "Won't they wonder where we are?"

"You can probably contact your command center from here." Timothy said. "If it was built by Zordon, then it should have the right frequency to establish contact with Eltar."

"We'll try it." Aisha said quickly.

Andrew walked over to a large viewing screen. He pressed some buttons on the computer next to it, and it turned on. The screen went all fuzzy, before showing the image of Alpha.

"This is the Earth Power Chamber." Alpha said. "What can I help you with?"

"This is Andrew speaking. I am on Eltar right now, and I have some people here I think you know."

"Rangers!" Alpha cried, as they all stepped in front of the screen. "How did you get to Eltar?"

"It's a long story." Kat said. "But the only way for us to get back is to fly a ship, and it will take a couple of months. We needed to contact all of you, so that you know where we are."

"I will inform Zordon. He is currently trying to make some more room for everyone in the Zord bay."

"Thank you Alpha." Aisha said. "Do you think you could tell our families? And you need to tell them that it still isn't safe for them to leave, and that we'll be back in no time."

"And don't forget to tell them that we all need to be pulled from school." Jason added. Alpha nodded.

"I will do everything as you requested. No one will be very pleased though. They have been very worried about you, and it is getting a little cramped in here."

"When we get back we'll make sure we get rid of Scarlette once and for all." Ann said. "And tell Zordon to just clear out the Zord bay. He can turn it into a school of sorts. The kids will all need to be tutored, since all of us won't be able to go out for school."

"Very well." Alpha said. "I will pass along the messages. Be safe rangers. May the Power protect all of you."

"Good-bye Alpha." They said to the robot, whose image on the screen slowly faded.

"My mom is so gonna ground me when I get back." Ann said.

"She's gonna kill me." Jason corrected. "She won't do anything to you because you're the only girl. And David is the oldest, so he's safe. But as for me, there are three of me. She can safely get away with disposing of one."

"What are the two of you talking about?" David asked, laughing at his younger siblings downcast faces.

"Mom is gonna be really mad when we get back." Ann said. "Remember how she freaked out when we went inside during the party for less than thirty minutes?"

"Point taken." David said. "I think I'll work on my will on the trip back."

"You guys over-exaggerate way too much." Kaylie said. "She's not going to be mad. She'll be really happy to see you."

"Easy for you to say." Jason said, shuddering at the thought of what his other would do to him when he returned. "Your mom is right here with you."

While they had been talking to Alpha, and amongst themselves, the Eltarian rangers had been talking quietly to each other. Lance cleared his throat.

"We have decided to come with you." He stated. "We can hand over the responsibilities to the 'B' team. They should be able to handle this planet for a few months."

"Are you sure?" Kira asked.

"Yes." Andrew stated firmly. "Besides, you need someone to fly the ship as well. And here we are, a ready made crew."

"I guess we should accept your offer then." Conner said. "So, when do we leave?"

"Right now." Kristen said. "While the rest of us go prep the ship, Lance will go hand everything over to the others. The rest of you can get settled onto the ship. Oh, and you should tell high command as well Lance. They'll only speak to you anyway. Something about only the leader being worthy enough to talk to them."

"Right." Lance said. "I'll see the rest of you in a few minutes."

"Everyone follow me." Charisse said. "The ship is docked over here. I think there's enough room for everyone to have their own cabin. But if you want to share, that's fine with me. You'll be allowed anywhere on the ship, as long as you don't touch anything important. You want to get home as quick as possible and we don't want anyone messing up the controls."

"Alright." Ann said. David rolled is eyes. She had to be on top of everything.

Charisse led everyone onto the ship and brought them to where they would be staying for the next few months. Fifteen minutes later, they were all ready to go. Everyone strapped themselves into their seats to prepare for takeoff. It was going to be a very long trip.
