A/N: This is just some filler for now. In this chapter, the 5 graduates learn about the ship more, the SUAoE heads for Earth, and the Universe rangers run into trouble.

Location: Space Traveler

It had been just an hour after leaving Mirinoi's atmosphere, according to Malcolm's phone. That meant, it had been an hour trying to get Derek back to Earth. Since he found Annie's bracelet in his pocket, Derek shut down. They tried comforting him, but he wouldn't budge. They decided to leave him alone, but that only lasted 15 minutes. After that, they tried to get him to play some games on his phone, but he wouldn't do anything. He just stared at the bracelet in his hands. "I couldn't do it." He finally said. "I mean, I could, it's just that I didn't. I was paralyzed for a minute there. And now it's my fault. If I knew I had it, she would've been on board with us." "You can't beat yourself up about it forever." Josh said. "I know, but-" "No buts. Sulk about it for now, but when the time comes, we're exploring the ship. Don't sulk about it then. Leave it in the past and accept the fact that your sister was accidentally left behind." "No need to be such a hard case." As much as he wanted to punch Josh, Derek took the advice and sulked for a bit more.

After all that, they decided to explore. Derek sucked up his tears, and hopped out of his seat. Malcolm grabbed the book and started browsing through pages. They exited the main deck and were left within a hallway. "What's the book say?" Lisa asks. "This Space Traveler was built on a collaboration among the planet Edenoi, the space colony KO-35, and the lost planet of Gallifrey." Malcolm answers. "Lost?" "Doesn't say how it was lost, though. Anyway, Gallifrey's technology is why it's smaller on the outside. We're on the main floor." "There's more floors in this thing?" Josh asks. "Apparently." Malcolm sinks his head in the book again. "If we take a right, we will be lead to our rooms. A left will take us to the exit." "To the right then?" Derek asks. "Guess so." The five walk along the hallway to the right of the main deck. The halls seemed to last forever. You could get lost in them, but still know your way. They halls were held in with iron arches and the walls had a giant polka dot pattern. Definitely Gallifreyan architecture.

They finally find some doors. 6, in fact. 3 on one side, 3 on the other. Each across the hall from each other. "Why 6 rooms? There's only 5 of us." Josh asks. They all shrug and start to call their rooms and enter them.

Lisa's Room was very gothic. The floor was all carpet. Beige. There were shades of dark pink paint on the walls because of the posters of various bands lining the walls. The bands varied from punk bands like Piggy Bank to indie bands like The Fedoras. There was a few screamo bands and just one poster of a boy band. "What are all my posters doing here? Is this where they went?" She turns to the bed. Regular twin sized bed. Dark colours. Just her style. "Ooh bed!" She jumps on top of it and relaxes. It had been a long day, even if it was only half the day. She looked around. A closet was across from her. To the right of the closet was a desk with a laptop and two chargers. To the left of the closet was a bookshelf. There were, if you didn't already guess, books. "It's like it knows me." She stares at the ceiling. Nothing. Just dark pink. She turns to her left to see a nightstand. Aside from the lamp, a personal photo of her family rested on the nightstand. Out of the 5 on the ship, she was the only only child. The photo was of her and her parents. Her parents lifted her up. This was taken last week. She shuts her eyes, breathes heavily, and gulps. She had to hold back her tears, but what for? She was all alone. Oh yeah, that's right. Her makeup would run. But she didn't care. She forced herself to at least shed one single tear, but after that, tons of tears started flowing from her eyes. She didn't care about her makeup, though. She needed this. She wouldn't know how her parents are doing while the SUAoE took over Mirinoi. Heck, she didn't even know where they were during the attack. Either way, she just let the tears flow. She buries herself in her pillow, face down, and continues crying.

Malcolm's Room was very...interesting. First, there was a bunk bed. Second, there wasa a single rug on the hardwood floor. The rug had a zigzag of white. "I'd prefer a race car bed, but this is much, much better." He had a top bunk while the bottom bunk had a desk. It had a desktop and a drawer. He was careful not to walk under the ladder as he was superstitious. He sat on the chair at the desk and put the manual down. He tried to think of happy thoughts like he always has. No one should go through what they just went through. It's better he stay himself and not think about it. He lets out a big sigh and reclines on the rolly chair. In his bookshelf, there were a ton of video games and ska music, and his TV was hanging on the wall. It was a flatscreen. The walls were painted with a dark green, almost evergreen. There was a single white stripe running across the walls. The line turned into an arrow that pointed at a door. Above the door was the word, "CLOSET," and above the word was the arrow. Malcolm jumps off his seat and walks to the louver door, ignoring a family photo. He turns the knob and opens the door. There are clothes already there. Tops hanging, bottoms on a shelf, but his undergarments were somewhere else. "Probably in that drawer." He browses through the clothes and yells a realization. "THEY'RE ALL GREEN." He looks at his green shirt and jacket. "Not that I'm complaining, though." He hears yelling and exits his room to go into Derek's.

Malory's Room was very preppy. Not preppy pink, though. The walls were her old favorite colour. School bus yellow. Lisa used to like pink, and Malory yellow. What made this room so bright was the chandelier hanging on the ceiling. Good thing it wasn't over the queen sized bed. She would've gotten killed if they ever bumped into something on her side of the ship, and it fell. Across the bed was a vanity. Sorta. It had more drawers. Next to her bed was a library filled with CDs and records. Getting back to the walls, they could hardly be seen. There were many posters of boy bands and pop singers on the wall. Those posters matched half of the CDs and records. The other half were indie and classic rock. While there were many posters covering the walls, you could clearly see a stripe running along the walls, just like her brother's room. Except her stripe was black. But nonetheless, the stripe turned into an arrow at the end when it pointed at the closet door. Feeling a bit dirty after the fight, she decided to change. "Something comfortable." She said aloud. She threw off her dirty clothes and put them in a conveniently placed basket and threw on a yellow t shirt and hoodie and sweat pants. "Good thing my glasses are black. My shade of pink doesn't go with yellow." She realizes the racist irony in that and decides to explore her room some more as if that didn't happen. She notices the same family photo from Malcolm's room on her vanity. It's a picture of the twins and their parents. They had a dog, but he passed. She punches her bed in frustration. "We never should've left." She hears crying coming from next door. She exits her room and enters Lisa's.

Josh's Room was very steampunk. The duke blue walls had clockwork gears bolted on. "My kind of room." Josh smirked. He had a regular sized bed. His library was the biggest one. It reached from top to bottom of the room. The shelves were well organized with books on mechanical engineering, science fiction, fantasy, painting, piano sheets, and then there were the CDs of Asian rock, punk, classical piano, and hip hop. He's the one who taught Lisa how to breakdance. He was proud since she was a natural, and she became better than him. He didn't mind though. He'd rather busy himself with fixing and building things with either Derek or Malcolm. He looked around the, mostly, wooden and gold room. His TV frame was wooden, and the buttons were golden, but it functioned like a modern TV. Aside from the laptop on the bed, one thing that interested him was the coffee table. It was the most modern thing about the room aside from the bed. There was a button in the left corner, and he pressed it as he sat down on a chair. The tabletop flipped over to reveal a keyboard. Josh turned it on and began to play. As he played, he heard Malcolm yelling. He stopped playing and listened to Malcolm. It was muffled, but he could still make out what Malcolm said. "THEY'RE ALL GREEN." Josh shrugged and looked at his closet. "I bet they're all blue." He decided that his assumption was correct and went to his library to find a good piano sheet book. As he scanned the shelves, he stumbled upon a fantastically carved, wooden, framed picture of him and most of his family. He had his arms around both parents, but something seemed off about them, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He decided to think about it later and continued looking at the photo. His heart twinged a bit in sadness. Then he remembered. His older brother left Mirinoi 2 years ago to finish high school and go to college. Barry had to drop out so he could live on Mirinoi. Maybe Josh will visit Barry. They could catch up, and Josh would probably not tell Barry about what happened on Mirinoi. Josh sits down, photo in hand, and buries his face in his knees. He hears yelling and bumps into Malcolm as they go to Derek's room.

Derek's Room looked like a living room. He had no bed. Just a couch. It was red. He decided to lay down on it. It had been a rough half of a day, and he just finished crying his eyes out. He took out Annie's bracelet from his pocket and started throwing it up in the air. Then he set it down on the table to avoid accidental damage. Since he cried his eyes out, he just let his heart drop. He took a deep breath and relaxed. "Don't think about it. It was all in the past. Be glad that I'm at least safe. There's nothing we can do now except avenge Mirinoi by fighting the SUAoE. But how?" He spoke to himself. The place was tiled and there was only a rug, but that was under the glass table. There was a big space between the couch and the library. Perfect for band practice, dancing, or martial arts training. His TV was a flat screen like Malcolm's, and there were DVDs in a drawer. Next to the TV was the closet door. A laptop rested on the glass table. Derek poked his head from behind the couch and stared at the library. He scanned the various rap, ska, orchestra, and reggae CDs and the cooking books. He always wanted to be a chef when he grew up. He just needed to learn how to cook. He's getting lessons from the Higas, currently and studies on his own. His Plan B was an author, but he never found any inspiration to write a book. As for the CDs, over time, Mirinoi established strong radio signals so that they could get Earth radio stations and TV shows. They even got the internet on Mirinoi. There was something that intrigued him, though. Another framed picture with family. He jumped over the couch and walked to the library. "This was taken last week." It was a picture of his parents, him, and Annie. Annie had her bracelet on. He remembered now. The 5 of them had family pictures taken last week since it was nearing graduation, and it was the last day of school. He just keeps staring at his family photo. His mom and dad looked as happy as Annie was, and Annie was extremely happy. It was the last day of school, so. He holds the frame tightly in one hand. "DOES THIS ROOM MAKE ME WANNA FEEL WORSE?!" He screams at the top of his lungs.

Josh and Malcolm enter Derek's room, and Malory enter's Lisa's. Ladies first. "Are you okay?" Malory asks. "Just crying my eyes out. I'm fine. Fantastic!" Lisa quips. Malory walks over to Lisa's bed and sits down. Malory pets Lisa with one hand and holds the family photo in the other. "You have a family photo too?" "You too?"

"I guess everyone has one. I'm pretty sure Malcolm has a copy of mine, though."

"Why?"

"Well, I am the older twin. So, your family photo make you down, too?"

"Yeah, but unlike you, i actually accept being down and be sad instead of turning angry."

"I can't help it. I don't want to cry."

"You're in your own privacy. It's okay to cry. That's why I was crying. I wanted to hold back tears, too, but I cried anyway. Sometimes, you just need to cry. Especially after what just happened. We have no idea what's going on with our family and friends. So, of course we'd be worried, and of course we'd cry because we're worried."

"I was brought up to not cry and have a different reaction, and you know that."

"Break free of it. Come on, you know you need this. Cry it out with me." Lisa sits up, and Malory puts her arm around Lisa. Lisa rests her head on Malory's shoulder. Malory starts sniffling, and her face turns red. She lets out her first tear in 15 years. And then she lets out a ton more.

"We never should've left."

"And what? Get taken over by the Super Ultimate Alliance of Evil?"

"We could see the rest of our families and friends to know that they're safe."

"That's true, but I think there's a reason why we got lucky."

"What would that be?"

"I think we should include the guys in this, too." Malory nods and wipes her tears. They both get up and exit.

Meanwhile, in Derek's room, Malcolm and Josh stand next to the TV. "What's the matter, man?" Josh asks. "The family photos we took last week. Mine is here. I'm just frustrated because Annie's in this picture, and she's smiling and has the bracelet on." Derek answers. "Oh. Well, how did they get here?" "They?" "Yeah, my family photo's in my room, too." "I wish I had the family photo. Malory probably has it." Malcolm scratches his head. "Did you even bother checking?" Derek asks. Malcolm thinks and starts to walk away. "I'll be back." He comes back after half a minute. "Yeah, I have one, too." The other two start chuckling. "Stop it. We're trying to be serious." "Can't help it. When things get too intense, I gotta make things lighter. Just to keep the smiles up. So no one would be stuck with a frown. You know that. Now, I'm sure there's some reason why all our stuff is here." "But this thing was meant for me to take back to Earth." "I'm pretty sure your dad knew that we probably would've come." Josh suggested.

"Maybe that's why our stuff is here." A girl's voice says. It's Malory's. She and Lisa enter Derek's room. "You think?" Malcolm asks. She rolls her eyes. "Nice room, man!" Lisa says. "Thanks." Derek thanks. "You guys, Lisa has something important to tell us." Malory says. "What would that be?" Josh asks. They turn their attention to the short haired tomboy. "I think there's a reason why we got lucky." "And that would be...?" Malcolm ushers her to continue. "I think that we're all chosen for something. Something big. If we weren't, our stuff wouldn't be here." A few seconds pass. "That's it?" Malcolm asks. "I'm not the all seeing eye, you know!" "Maybe if we explore more, then we'd understand what we've been...'chosen' for." Malory suggests. "Seems like a good idea." Derek says.

They exit and walk past the extra room. "Hey, whose room is that, anyway?" Josh asks. Derek shrugs and is about to open it, but Malory and Lisa intervene. "Ladies first." Malory points her finger. Malory and Lisa poke their heads in, step out, and quickly shut the door. "Whose room is it?" Malcolm asks. "No one's. It's just an empty room." Lisa answers frantically. "Then why are you covering the door?" "No reason?" Malcolm walks to them and ushers them away. He opens the door. "Oh, that's a plot twist." He walks over to Derek and grabs him by the shirt and makes him look at the room. "This room was supposed to be Annie's." Derek says. Josh pats Derek on the back. "I think I'm dried out for today. Let's keep going." Derek leads the way to the kitchen.

The kitchen was a kitchen. Simple, but spacious. Instead of an actual table, there was a counter top with chairs. On the other side of the counter, there were shelves. These shelves compensated for the lack of an actual pantry in the kitchen. There was cereal and other dry foods in the shelves. Next to the shelves was the microwave. Across the counter top was another counter top, but there was a TV. Small TV. Next to the TV was the oven/stove. A foot next to it was the sink. The dishwasher was next to the cabinet under the sink. Speaking of cabinets, they were everywhere. They were filled with cups and plates and whatnot. Oh, and the fridge was a normal fridge. Freezer on one side, fridge on the other. The wallpaper was of a Victorian design. If that makes any sense. "What's with the unnecessary window over the sink?" Malcolm asks. "Can't have fresh air while doing the dishes?" Josh asks. "We're in the middle of space. How can we get fresh air?" "When we land on Earth we can open the window." They decide to come back later for food. They eventually make it to the bathrooms.

The bathrooms...well. There's no need to describe the bathrooms. 6 bathrooms. All with a shower, toilet, sink, and mirror. After a short bathroom break, the 5 walked around again. They ended up in front of a room without a label. All the rooms had a generic label above them. "Bathroom." "Kitchen." "Bedroom." "Closet." Whatever. But this room had no label. "Do you think we should go in?" Malcolm asks. "Well, there's only one way to find out what this room is." Derek shrugs. He opens the door and enters. Josh, Lisa, and Malory follow in that order. Malcolm stays behind for a bit and does martial arts poses. Malory closes the door quietly. After a crane pose, Malcolm turns and walks into the door. Malory opens the door and starts laughing at Malcolm. Malcolm just stands there rubbing his forehead. He pouts, turns, and crosses his arms. Malory pulls him inside.

The room was a room with a single light hanging above a table. There was a screen on one wall. On the table were 5 belts. Next to each belt was a CD in different colours. Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, and Pink. There was a lass container holding another belt, but it had a standard cassette tape instead of a CD. "What do you think those things are? Fancy CD players?" Malcolm asks.

Meanwhile on KO-35...

Gasket and Archenia had not arrived yet, but Andros and Zhane knew that they would be coming soon. Karone managed to escape Mirinoi, but could only bring Mike with her. They lost the Galaxy Rangers in the fight. Andros, Karone, and mike went to help with preparations for defense while Zhane was in the security room. While watching the cameras, he heard a beeping. He turned to see a red flash of light. He pressed the button under the light.

Back in the Space Traveler...

"Great job, moron! You locked us in!" Malory scolded Malcolm. "All I did was touch the glass!" The screen turned on, and Zhane was there. "Zhane!" The 5 shouted. "Derek! Josh! Malory! Malcolm! Lisa! What are you guys doing on the Space Traveler?" Zhane asks. "My dad said that a guy made this on KO-35 for me so I can go back to Earth when I graduate." Derek answers. "The Space Traveler was stolen a few weeks ago. I've been in charge of security ever since." "Maybe Dad was lying." "Who knows?" "What is this thing anyway? And where did it come from?" Josh asks.

"The Space Traveler was made during the peace in the universe after Zordon sacrificed himself for the greater good. It was made on a collaboration among KO-35, Gallifrey, and Edenoi. Luckily, the collaboration took place before the war on Gallifrey."

"A war? Is that why the manual says Gallifrey's lost?"

"Yes. A time war between the Daleks and the Time Lords. Long story short, the war was time locked, and only one Time Lord survived. He travels the universe now. Anyway, as you know Edenoi is where the Masked Rider lives. His people, my people, and the Gallifreyans collaborated on this ship just in case KO-35 needed protection. Edenoi had the Masked Riders while Gallifrey had its weapons. So, they all created this as a ship to travel and as a megazord."

"Megazord?" Derek asks. "Yeah. The belts you see on the table are morphers for this team of Power Rangers that were supposed to protect KO-35 while me and the Space Rangers traveled the galaxy. But since all that's over, there was no need for this, so we stowed it away, just in case KO-35 went under attack. And that would be pretty soon. But, we're here now, so we can protect it."

"The SUAoE is coming to Earth to conquer it." Derek says. "The Rangers with their powers can help you protect the Earth." "Help us? What do we have to do anything with it?" "The Rangers aren't everywhere. Earth needs another team to protect it, and since the timeline's restored, the newest team can't help." "What do you mean restored?" "Never mind. Anyway, wherever you go to, protect the city. The SUAoE will most likely attack you guys because of what you did on Mirinoi."

"Who gets which colour, though?" Malcolm asks. "And why us? Why do we have to be Rangers?" "You have the Space Traveler. It's your responsibility now." "Oh. Then what about the one belt in the case?" "Those powers are unstable. It's a prototype. It's only there on display. As for your colours, you decide." Zhane looks at the security camera footage screens again. "I gotta go. It's starting." The screen turns off.

"My room is painted yellow, so I guess I get the yellow CD." Malory says. "And I've been green since forever, so I'll just grab the green stuff." Malcolm adds. Lisa grabs the pink CD and belt. "Maybe this is what we were chosen for." They shrug and put their belts on. "Derek's favorite colour is blue, but his room is red. Josh's favorite colour is red, but his room is blue, presumably. Who gets which colour?" Malcolm asks. "I get to be red ranger. I used to be red ranger when we played Power Rangers!" Josh volunteers. "But what if our clothes mean that we have to have a specific Ranger colour?" Derek asks. They then start to bicker a lot. Malory and Lisa sigh. "It's like they're little kids again." Lisa says. Malcolm walks to the bickering best buds. "Why don't you just play Rock, Paper, Scissors? Whoever wins gets to be red ranger." He suggests. The other two nod. "Rock, Paper, Scissors, shoot!" Malcolm had paper, Josh had scissors, and Derek had rock. "Malcolm." Josh said. "Yeah?" "Why are you playing?" "Oops. Sorry." They do Rock, Paper, Scissors again, but without Malcolm this time. Derek had rock, and Josh had scissors. "Dang it!" Josh grunted. "It's like they didn't even graduate elementary school." Malory sighed.

"Well team, looks like we have to protect Earth. Malcolm, find out how to configure the megazord on this thing." Derek orders. "Question." Malcolm raises his had. "Yes?" "How are you able to just change moods? Before being all childish and stuff, you were sad and stuff." "How are you able to do it?" "Good point." They all head back to the control room to figure out their megazord while on the way to Earth.

Meanwhile on Earth...

The former Universe team were driving in a rental van. "Looks like even Megaforce changed. What does that make us?" David asks. "We're anomalies. We fit in, but we also don't." Link answers. "What happened to your accent?" "It changed along with the universe. We have memories and experiences of what happened before, but we have different, normal lives." "So does this mean John isn't related to any Sentai member?" "Most likely." "So, what do you want to do since we're here?" Mikey asks. "I hear there's a good cafe in the next city over." Casey suggests. "What's the city?" Danni asks. "Metroville." John slams on the gas. "Next stop, Metroville!"

A/N: I think I'll have the Universe team show up a few more times in this story. Anyway, I'm not sorry this took so long. Things like these need time to finish. I am, however, happy that I finished it. So, next time, the SUAoE attacks, and the Rangers aren't even on Earth yet. What will happen? Find out on the next chapter of Power Rangers Rebellion!
