I loved all your reviews thanks, it gave me the warm fuzzes. And for that I want to give you guys a present with another chapter. That and I just saw the movie for a second time.
Some of you even gave me some ideas so thanks, to you guys for the ideas. This is basically a sequel to the last chapter. Any chapters that I put in here will basically be connected, if I ever do make more.
It was a new day on the ship and Zordan and Alpha five where watching as Billy was looking at the morphing grid once more. What he was trying to look for they had no idea but they knew that the last time he did this he found the zeo crystal so they let him do as he pleased. That is till he suddenly asked a question "Alpha five, how come the morphing grid could only cure Zordon once. Can't it do it again."
Alpha then explained "Sadly no, you see Billy when the morphing grid activates for the first time it unleashes a huge surplus of power that only comes from the combined emotional energy the rangers are feeling at the time when they first truly discover who they are on this team."
Billy seemed to be thinking on that till he looked back on the face on the wall and said "Zordon, how come you used the grid to heal me and not yourself?" This shocked the elder to his core, why would Billy ask him such a thing?
"Billy as I said, this is Jason's team now, not mine. There can only be one red ranger." "Yeah I understand that Zordon but even the you could have been the blue ranger as well, you have more experience than me and you might have been able to really help the team."
Zordon felt his eyes widened at this, why was Billy asking such questions? "Billy, this is not my team. I am your mentor but you all are a team. Billy why are you asking such things?"
"Well like I said you have more experience. You probably could have really helped the others and I know we already defeated Rita and all but if more bad guys come we could use your help, especially since we're still learning. Maybe you could help inspire the team since you used to be a leader and you could help Jason in his training more often."
At this Zordon finally understood what Billy was trying to say but he did not like it. "Billy, I cannot inspire the rangers, I tried that remember." "Yeah but…." "No Billy, there is no but, in this. The reason for it is because the one who inspires the rangers is not just Jason. It is also you."
Billy looked shocked as he said "Me?" Alpha five looked shocked as well. Zordon rarely ever gave praise, he wondered where he was going with this. Zordon went on with "Billy, it was your sacrifice for your teammate that brought them together, and even before that they told me how out of all of them you were the only one to see each of the rangers as a friend even when none of them wanted to. You saw the potential in them while I saw only children, and you did not give up on them even when they rejected you so many times. And from what I have learned rejection is especially abundant for you because of….."
Zordon didn't want to continue but he didn't have to as Billy replied "Because I'm on the spectrum. Yeah I know, but I have to try cause then what's life without friends. I be pretty lonely, I still be missing my dad, and I probably still be having trouble with the bullies. But now I have friends, I don't miss my dad as much, and no one hurts me anymore, not just because they can't but because they know my friends are there for me. I'm glad I had this chance cause then I guess I still be where I was."
At this Zordon felt his heart twinge. He still remembered when he looked up about Billy's disability, it had worried him about putting this boy in danger, but after seeing his friends wanting to be there and care for him he felt at ease.
Now he felt something different. He felt some sort of kinship with him, at first he thought it was because they both knew how it was to not fit in in a way. Now he found they had more in common then he thought, more then he and Jason even. While he and Jason where both red rangers and leaders, he and Billy had known the loss of family, the feeling of being isolated, and the feeling of being harmed by others.
He too had lost his father young, making it hard for him to make it to manhood on his own, this in a way isolated him from his pears as he had to catch up on the rituals of their people to becoming an adult.
The last thing was feeling antagonized but for him it was not just by anyone and everything it had bean by Rita herself, for her betrayal. The other ranger of his team had helped him try to overcome that as well. But he had failed them, he failed his team even when they had not failed him. How could he ever truly call himself a leader?
All these emotions swirled in him and Billy, even though he had trouble reading emotions most of the time, at this moment he could feel that Zordon was upset about something. He didn't know what but felt he had to do something to make him feel better. That's when an idea came to mind.
He wanted to give him a hug, he didn't like touching usually but sometimes when he saw his mom was really happy or really sad or he felt so low, he would ask or give a hug. It was rare but he did and right now he wanted to give Zordon one. For even if he had trouble telling emotions most of the time, right now he could defiantly feel the pain coming from him and he wanted to help him feel better just like his parents would do with him with just a hug.
How could he though if he was stuck in a wall? Suddenly Billy looked at the morphing grid. He looked at the spiraling colors with stars and began to think. If the grid could use emotions to power itself, transporting it to Zordon then maybe…That's when Billy got a crazy idea. When that he knew even Zack would be proud of.
He walked up to the morphing grid, Alpha five asking "Billy wait what are you doing?" He ignored the small robot and as he stood in front of the grid he hesitated for a moment, Zordon saw this and called in worry "Billy don't….!" But he did not listen as he put his hand in.
Suddenly Billy felt a swirl of emotions and memories not of his own that came to his mind, Zordon felt the same experience. It all rushed at them and neither of them could pull back, that was till Alpha five pulled Billy away and said "Ay ay ay. Billy are you okay, what were you thinking?"
Billy shook his head as he looked at the small robot and said "I just wanted to give him a hug so he could feel better." He turned to the face on the wall and asked "Did it work?" Zordon still held a face of shock but then he looked down at the young blue ranger and softly smiled as he said "Yes Billy. I believe it did."
Billy smiled happily back and clapped his hands and at that moment the two had gained a stronger friendship, one that would serve them well in the times to come.
I hope you all liked that. I wonder if I should make a thing where Zordon is able to turn human and Billy brings him to his house and around Angle grove along with the other ranger to help him settle in as a human and they learn how different their cultures are. Maybe even see if Billy ends up Zordon as his new step dad or something. Well I'll think about it and if I get inspired I might do it in a separate story that connects to these two. See you all and God bless.
