Five beams of light arrived in a room filed with computers and wires. There was a tube on the north wall. The beams of light turned into humans. Everybody looked shocked.

"Zordon?" Kat asked.

"Yes Kat, it's me. You see I am still trapped in a time warp, when Andros shattered my energy tube; he only cut off the signal. All it took was a new energy tube and the right frequency to bring me back." He smiled.

"So who are you and why are we here?" Jack asked, Zordon looked uneasy.

"I am Zordon, creator of the power rangers." He started. "You have been considered by some to be the worst rangers of all time."

"What?" Maya asked.

"Yeah, I find that insulting!" Carlos added.

"Don't take it the wrong way. You have been given a chance to redeem yourself by taking on a new evil." Zordon replied.

"Ok? Will we get new powers?" Maya asked.

"I'm afraid not. However I can regenerate your old powers. You may not wear the same uniform, but you will be on the same team." Zordon replied.

"I don't mean to be weird, but which pink ranger am I being called as?" Kat asked.

"Since Justin is a Turbo ranger, I think you can work as a Zeo or Mighty Morphin Power Ranger." Zordon shrugged.

"I think I'll be the Zeo ranger." Kat nodded.

"That really isn't your decision, since you were worse as pink ranger on the mmpr team than you were on the Zeo team I think you will be better as a Mighty Morphin power ranger." Zordon disagreed.

"And I'm called as a space ranger?" Carlos asked.

"That is correct Carlos." Zordon replied.

"So we're all here, but what evil are we taking down?" Carlos asked.

"And why am I here?" Jack asked.

"From a distant planet; an evil warrior called Igor has come to Earth. He seeks to resurrect Maligore and use him in his campaign of evil. Jack you have been blasted with a time travel agent. I had an actor do that so you could be here in 2005 when everyone was relatively young." Zordon explained. Alpha 7 came in, bearing small box.

"These are your new morphers. Although they contain the same powers as your old ones, it will be easier if you all have one morpher and one morphing call." He handed Jack the box.

"So since I am red ranger, am I the leader?" Jack asked.

"I'm afraid that you will not be the leader, I'm bringing in someone else to lead you. He is not on the same list as you but he will lead you well." Alpha answered.

"Is it Tommy?" Kat asked.

"No, Tommy has been ranger longer than anyone, he is a glory hog. I've asked someone else to lead you." Zordon replied. Zhane appeared.

"Oh right, why would I be leader when I'm on the list of worst rangers?" Jack muttered.

"Hi guys." Zhane smiled. He was in his usual uniform.

"I'd like you to remove your uniforms; I've always maintained these rules with my ranger squads: Never escalate a battle unless forced to, never use powers for personal gain and keep your identities secret. Remember this is an opportunity to show other rangers what you can do, I can think of other rangers to fill your slot if you do not wish to do this." Zordon boomed.

"I thought Wes would be here, and a few others." Justin smiled.

"Wes is on the 'potential' list, if one of you quits or has to leave then I might consider calling him into action." Zordon replied.

"I don't think Zhane should be here. He's considered a good ranger; why not put one of us as leader?" Jack coaxed.

"Ok, if that's what's best." Zordon nodded. Jack smiled. "Justin, can you lead the team through this?"

"Yeah…." Justin smiled. He'd hoped to lead a team of rangers one day. He'd also hoped that the space rangers would take him in after he saved them a few years ago. Everyone looked shocked, but they decided not to challenge Zordon's decision, they wanted to stay on the team.

"So what do we do now?" Maya asked.

"For now I'd expect you to stay nearby, and together. I will contact you when I hear more." Zordon replied. Zhane teleported out.
