The sun was sinking into the horizon by the time Trent got to the ruined gate of his home. Kira and Trent exchanged glances "I really don't like the looks of this." Kira said as she slowly climbed out of Trent's white Mustang. "It's been hours, you don't think something serious has happened to my father do you?"
Trent stepped over a piece of the destroyed gate.

"Only one way to find out." Kira followed Trent threw the gate and up the driveway. The garage was still open and both saw the destruction left by Elsa. "Dad? DAD!?" Trent ran into the garage, jumping over debris, and into the kitchen. "Dad? Where are you?!" He searched the whole house but his father was nowhere to be found.

"I don't understand he wouldn't have left without saying anything to you would he?" Kira was trying to stay calm for Trent's sake.

"No…" Then it dawned on Trent that there was one place he hadn't checked. "I think I know where he might be." He didn't wait for Kira to reply as he bolted back out into the garage. Glancing around the wreckage Trent noticed a spot on the wall that had been cleared away. It was an old book shelf that now housed boxes of his old toys and some photographs. Climbing over to it he put his hand by the spot where the bookshelf and wall met, there was a cool breeze coming from a tiny gap. "Kira, over here, give me a hand with this."
Kira wasn't sure what Trent was up to but went over to the bookshelf and helped him pull it back to reveal a dimly lit spiral stair case. "Wow, um, where does this lead?

"My father's new laboratory, Mesogog created a second one but since dad can't use the invisa portals any more he built one under the house."

"What!? After everything that's happened? Is he insane?"

"Possibly." Trent went forward and headed down the stairs. It was so dimply lit that he took out his cell phone and used it as a flash light. Once at the bottom they could hear Mercer talking to himself, maybe into a recorder. They listened for a minute, he kept referring to 'Subject A'. There was a small hallway that led to the left, at the end a doorway glowed with white light. Trent looked at Kira; she nodded her head in the direction of the light so he went first. Entering the lab Trent noticed considerable differences to the lab he had built when he was Mesogog. It was much brighter. The walls and floors were white. Black counters lined the walls and a large island table was built in the middle. On the East most wall was a projected picture of an x-ray title 'Subject A'. There were two filing cabinets on either side of the projection. Bubbling beakers and vials sat on the island table while plants, dinosaur bones, and other experiments sat on the counters. "Subject A seems to have not suffered any memory loss, which is quite-"

"Dad!"

Mercer spun around "Trent, thank God!" he embraced his son with a smile. Seeing his father up close Trent noticed he had a bandage on his forehead. "Dad, it's been hours! Why haven't you tried to call? What happened to Rebecca?"

"The computer chip placed in her brain by Mesogog activated. She attacked me this morning and left. With the power of Elsa, she was able to use the invisa portal and get to Mesogog's second lab."

"Wait! There was a chip in Rebecca's head?
Mercer seemed to finally notice Kira and turned to look at her. "Yes, it was something of an insurance policy. I think deep down Mesogog knew he was going to be defeated so he created the chip."

"Did you know?"

"About the chip? Yes, of course. Mesogog placed it in Elsa's brain when he was still apart of me."

"You knew about it this whole time and didn't tell anyone about it?" Kira couldn't believe he would keep something like that to himself.

"I knew it was there but I had no idea that it was actually going to activate."

While Kira and his father seemingly had it out, Trent wondered the lab. He noticed notes and pictures of when he was the evil White Ranger, his father had apparently been studying him when he wasn't Mesogog. Then he went over to the x-ray, it looked so familiar. He read the notes on it and took a step back, very upset. "Kira…" Trent called for her but didn't take his eyes of the x-ray.

"You should have called Dr. O as soon as Rebecca turned back into Elsa."

"Kira!" Trent finally turned to look at her.

"What Trent?"

"My father knew this would happen."

"Trent, I swear I had-"

"But you did! That's Rebecca." Trent pointed to the x-ray projected on the wall. "You knew the chip would activate after Mesogog was gone, you just didn't know when!"

Kira turned from Trent to Mercer. "Is that why you married her? So you could study her?"

"No! I love Rebecca; I married her because I love her. I just happen to know about the chip as well. I kept her close so I could monitor her, so if the chip did activate I could stop her."

"I can't believe you, after everything that's happened you're still a scientist first."

"That's not true Trent, I love you and Rebecca. The two of you come first; it's why I switched off the chip. I wanted to keep it on to see what she would do, but I love her too much. I want her to come home, but it might be too late. I don't know if her knew companions will let her."

Trent was confused; it had only been a day how did she already have 'companions'? "What Companions?"

Mercer walked over to a large computer terminal and typed a few keys, the projection on the wall changed from Rebecca's x-ray to a blurry photo "Look, I believe that's-"

"Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd!" Kira finally chimed in. "But that's not possible, they're not supposed to be evil anymore."

"I know this was taken from the point of view of Elsa; I was able to tap into her eye sight. I also know she used 'The Last Resort'" Mercer frowned as if something was causing him great sadness.

"Great! Then you can help the others get back to normal." Kira was grateful to finally have some good news.

"No, you don't understand, there was a reason Mesogog never used that cannon. It only has one shot in it. It was so powerful that after that one shot the insides would fry, the cannon is completely useless now. Even if I were to get my hands on it there would be nothing left on the inside."

"Are you saying, with all of this, there is no way you can reverse what's happened to Dr. O and the others?" Trent spread his arms wide indicating everything in the lab.

Mercer looked very pale as he leaned up against the counter and nodded. "The cannon's solution was final; no going back after it was used. I don't even know how it was made. The idea came to me just before Mesogog and I split. He must have made it after." Sighing Mercer rubbed his face with his hands. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." Mercer looked between Trent and Kira. "This is all my fault."

Trent and Kira said nothing, mainly because this technically was all Mercer's fault. He had created Mesogog and then told no one about it.

"This can't be the end; there must be something out there that will return everyone to normal."

"If there is I don't know what it could be."

"What about us?" Kira sounded determined, "The cannon didn't work on us, maybe we've got something in our bodies that could help?"

Mercer shook his head again. "You're already a teenager, the cannon only manipulated genes that were out of the adolescent phase already."

Kira racked her brain for another solution but she was no scientist. "Well, I'm not giving up. There has to be something out there that will help them. Let's go back and tell the others the news. The faster they know the cannon won't work the faster we can all find another solution."

Trent didn't feel as optimistic as Kira did but he supposed that's one of the qualities he liked about her. Nodding he agreed with her and both headed out of the lab.

"Trent?" Mercer followed close behind. "I just want you to know that I'm sorry about Rebecca, Kira's right I should have called you as soon everything happened. I do love her, you have to believe me."

Trent licked his lips, looking at the floor. "I want to believe you dad, but I saw the way you were looking at the x-ray and I think part of you wishes Mesogog wasn't really gone." With a frown Trent turned around and followed Kira.


It was late everyone else had gone to bed but Rocky just couldn't sleep. With the news about the cannon being destroyed he didn't know how any of his friends could. Not to mention the return of Rita and Zedd. How was that even possible? Zordon's light should have cured them of all evil. What was going on? Who would be behind making them evil again? Who would want to turn them back into adolescents? At some point in an adult's life they sometimes wish they could have a do over, but no one really wants it. No one actually believes it's possible, but now here Rocky was, standing in front of a full length mirror staring into his 17 year old blue eyes. Sighing Rocky continued his Kata. He was in Tommy's basement which had been transformed into a dojo. The wall behind Rocky was lined with Tommy's Martial Arts belts, rewards, and trophies. The wall in front of him was full length mirrors. As he watched himself in the mirrors he thought about his life and how he ended up a store manager at Wal*Mart. He had such plans; he was going to open his own dojo. He was going to travel the world, get married. Rocky stopped in mid step when he thought about marriage. His mind went to Kimberly and the two years he got to call her his. Where had he gone wrong with Kim? Five months ago they had been happy, Rocky had been happy. He got promoted at work and took on a little more work. Now that he thought about it he remembers Kim telling people they grew a part, but that wasn't the case for Rocky he still loved Kimberly. More now that he couldn't have her. Rocky had seen Kim and Tommy together and had gotten jealous. He hadn't felt this childish about anything since he was a teen, the first time around. Rocky stepped back into the Kata and let out a Kiai that was louder then he meant it to be.

"Burning off some energy are we?"

Rocky turned to see Kimberly in sweats and a pink leotard.

Rocky chuckled a little and smiled. He'd never admit this, not even to Kim, but he had always had a little crush on her, even back in high school. "Yeah, you could say that."

Kimberly smiled softly and walked over to him. "I couldn't sleep and thought I'd come down here and do some tumbling, I figured everyone would be sleeping."

"I don't see how after what we found out today."

"You can't give up hope Rocky. I mean how many times have we been in a situation like this? We've always figured it out." Kimberly laughed lightly and slapped Rocky's arm as she began stretching. "Now, it's been a while since I've practiced Martial Arts, how about you play Sensi and refresh my memory?"

Rocky tried hard not to grin ear from ear. "A private session, huh? I may have to charge you double for that?"

"Ha. Put it on my tab!"


Sunlight broke through the tree tops, casting greenish sunbeams on the hiking path. This was Katherine Hillard favorite time of year. It was just cold enough that you had to wear a light coat but all the hiking would get you warm in no time. Kat sat down on a large rock to catch her breath; taking out a canteen of water she took a few long drafts before putting it back in her pack. It was very peaceful out on the trail, it was a good place to come and think. The former Ranger's mind couldn't help but focus on the invitation Tommy had extended about the reunion. Kat had wanted to go but refused, saying she wouldn't be able to get away from work. The truth was Kat was getting married. She looked down at the diamond ring on her finger. It sparkled in a shaft of light. Why had she lied to Tommy? Thinking about it she just couldn't come up with a good enough reason. It wasn't like her to lie like that. Mentally Kat made a note to tell Tommy the real reason she couldn't make it, she'd tell him about Daniel. Kat smiled when she thought about her fiancé. She had met him while dancing with The Royal Ballet, he was a fellow dancer. The two fell head over heels for each other and only a year after meeting they were engaged. It took another four for them to leave the company and another year deciding on where they wanted to live. Finally they decided on a small town outside of Sydney. They bought a dance studio and teach. Kat was happy, wasn't she? The longer she stared at her oversized ring the less sure she was. With a sigh she made her way on the trail again.

After a while the trees parted and a large ravine spread out to Kat's left, the sight was breath taking. As she admired the view a female's voice floated up to her on the wind. She listened very closely and realized it was coming from the cliff in front of her. Slowly Kat got to the edge of the drop off and looked down. The ravine was at least 200 feet deep. At the bottom was a small creek. About 15 feet down from where Kat stood was a woman. She could see a mess of black hair. "Hello? Are you hurt?" Kat yelled down as she took her pack off, digging through it she pulled out a length of rope. "Please, help!" Kat heard the woman's cries again. She tied off the rope and threw the rest of it over the cliff. "Can you climb up?"

"No! My leg, I think it's broken! I can't put my weight on it, please! I'm scared!"

Kat swore under her breath, she pulled out her cell but of course there was no reception way out here. Looking back over the cliff the girl looked up at her, "I'm coming down to get you, hold on!" Where were her Ranger powers when she needed them? Looking around Kat found a large tree to tie the rope too. Closing her eyes she said a little prayer before sliding over the cliffs edge. She held onto the rope for dear life as she slowly lowered herself down toward the woman. The cliff side was nothing but sheer rock, not a lot to hold on to. Kat couldn't help but wonder how the woman was able to grab onto anything if she was falling. When she finally got to the girl her long black hair was a mess and covered her face. She was dressed in normal hiking gear, her left knee was bloody, and her pants ripped. Kat managed to tie the rope around her waist before grabbing the girl's arm. "Here, climb onto my back and I'll carry you up." The woman said nothing as she gingerly got onto Kat's back. With more effort than it took to climb down, she started to pull the girl and herself up the side of the cliff. Kat was grateful that the woman didn't seem to weigh much but her muscles were still screaming at her by the time she was back on solid ground. The former Ranger lay on her back, panting to catch her breath. The girl moved to lean against a large rock, with her eyes closed. Now that her hair was out of her face Kat noticed the girl was Asian. "Are you alright? How's your leg?"

Slowly the woman opened her eyes; her breathing was normal, which Kat thought was odd after everything that just happened. "It's painful but I think I just banged it is all."

Kat smiled "Good to hear it. I tried calling for help but there isn't any service. Do you think you'd be able to walk on it with help?"

"I'm not sure, maybe after a little rest."

"Rest, yes, I'm perfectly fine with that." Kat laughed a little as she pulled off one of her gloves and extended her hand toward the Asian girl. "Oh, I'm Kathrine by the way." The girl's smile turned into a smirk, or maybe Kat had imagined that, as she took Kat's hand to shake it. "Nice to meet you Kathrine, I'm Sabrina."
