Last time on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

Jon then looked at the monster and said to his friends, "You guys ready one more for old time sake?" They all walked up beside him and nodded their heads and said, "Yeah!" Stacy walked up beside Jon and said, "Yeah!" Jon jumped a little bit and looked at her. "What are you doing?" She looked back at him and said, "Hey, I'm not gonna let you have all the fun." Jon nodded his head and said, "That's my girl." She nodded back to him and then they both looked straight at the monster. They all looked at the putties and with a battle cry, charged into battle.

Chapter 3

In the Command Center…

Alpha was hard at work fixing some machines when Zordon came back into the command center. "Alpha have you finished those repairs to the transportation module?" Alpha turned around quickly. "Oh, gosh Zordon, don't scare me like that." Zordon chuckled a little bit and said, "Sorry, Alpha, but you need to hurry on those repairs if we are to help them defeat the monster." Alpha turned back around to the computers and said, "I know Zordon, I am trying my best." There was a little spark and lights started to blink. "I did it Zordon! It's fixed!" "Good work Alpha, now teleport them to the Command Center." Alpha pressed some buttons and said, "Right away Zordon!"

Back in the city…

Jon did a front flip over some putties that were fighting Stacy. He kicked one in the stomach and elbowed it in the back which caused it to hit the ground. Jon looked at Stacy, "A little overwhelmed, huh? They ARE a little bit hard to fight the first time around." Stacy looked up at Jon and said, "Your acting like you've fought these before." Jon was about to say something when she stopped him. "I know, we'll talk later." They both laughed when they were interrupted by Alpha on the communicator. "Good news Rangers! I have fixed the teleportation system and will teleport you to the Command Center!"

Jon and the rest, besides Stacy, cheered. Jon brought the communicator to his mouth and said, "Zordon, we have one more person coming with us, but trust me she won't say anything." "I trust your judgment Jon", replied Zordon. "Prepare for teleportation Rangers." Jon grabbed Stacy and held her close. She held him tightly as well. "Okay, Alpha, we're ready", Jon said through the communicator. With that they were teleported out of the scene. All the putties who they were fighting went for an attack just as it happened and landed on the ground. The monster ran up to the area Jon and Stacy were and looked up. "Where did they go?" All he saw were seven colors traveling through the air.

Jon and the other rangers landed safely and gingerly on the floor of the command center. Stacy looked around the command center as the rest walked on to the main platform. Stacy noticed the rest of the group is already further up than her so she jogged up to meet them. She walked directly up to Jon and asked, "Okay, it's later, and I'm in a place that I have no idea what or where it is. What is going on?" Jon scratched his head and said, "Well, it's like this…" He was about to say something when Zordon zapped in. "I believe I can answer that."

Stacy turned around fast as she was startled and grabbed her chest as if she was having a heart attack and said, "Who the hell…" She looked at Zordon in the tube and freaked out. "…scared…me…" Her jaw dropped as she stood still looking up at Zordon in awe. Jon reached around and closed her mouth and everyone gave a chuckle. "You really have that effect on other people don't ya Zordon?" Zordon chuckled a little bit more and added, "Well it's not everyday you see a floating head in a tube is it?" Jon crossed his arms and said, "I guess not. Why not explain yourself to her?"

Zordon nodded his head and looked at Stacy. Jon looked over at Stacy as she was still out and Tommy and the others were snapping their fingers in front of Stacy's face to bring her back to reality. By the look on her face she was still gone. Jon walked over to her and on his way said, "Nice try guys, but there is only one way to bring Stacy back." He walked over in front of her and kissed her on the lips for a bout 10 seconds. She immediately came back to reality. "Rocky crossed his arms and said, "I almost did that." Everyone chuckled and looked at him. Jon said, "And if you did I would have to slug ya, if Stacy didn't do it first." Rocky nodded his head and said, "Yeah, yeah." Jon grabbed the sides of Stacy's head and said, "Stacy? Are you back?" Stacy nodded and pointed at Zordon. "Can…you tell me what…that is?" Jon put his arm around Stacy and used his hand to point at Zordon. "That has a name. But we'll let him tell you."

Zordon looked at Stacy and started to explain himself. "My name is Zordon. I am a Morphicalogical being. I was put inside of a time warp by an evil witch named Rita Repulsa." Stacy raised her hand as if in school and asked, "Um, is that, that woman constantly on the news flying on a bike in the air with a gold flying monkey?" Zordon nodded and continued, "Yes, that is Rita. And that gold monkey is Goldar. Them and Rita's three other henchman, Finster, Squatt and Baboo were locked in a space dumpster and sent flying through space. Years later they were found by astronauts on the moon and accidently released. Myself and Alpha 5 thought it be necessary to find humans to become Power Rangers to defeat her."

Billy stepped forward with his hand up. "I think I can go from here." Zordon nodded and Billy continued. "I am the only one left from the original five Rangers. Now I am unlike you and am very good with electronics, so I went nuts when I came here. I mean, I was in heaven. It would've taken a lot to get me out of here." Zordon, behind Billy, cleared his throat. Billy came back to reality and continued. "Okay, so when we first got here I was ready to help, although I wasn't into martial arts as the rest of the group was. But I was willing to learn. We all left the command center and started to walk away from the command center and didn't look back. That is until Rita sent down putties to fight us."

"We were getting our butts kicked, royally." Billy continued. "So, Jason, the original red ranger, thought if we used our power morphers we would be able to take them out. So we morphed into the power rangers for the first time. We then had enough strength to defeat them. After that it was official, we all wanted to join, thus the Power Rangers we born." Zordon nodded in agreement and started talking again. "The Power Rangers fought bravely for quite a while, until they met their greatest match yet. And in irony, it was another Ranger." Tommy stepped up. "Yeah, that was me." Everyone looked at Tommy. "I was new in town and I was walking home down an ally when Rita showed up and used a spell to turn me evil. She then took me up into her palace on the moon and turned me into her evil green ranger. After numerous attacks that I staged against the other Rangers they were successful in turning me good. After that it was six rangers fighting evil for the first time."

Zordon spoke up again, "Yes there was a prophecy that said it would happen and we knew one day it would come true. Unfortunately, after Tommy joined us evil's side got a bit harder. The more evil Lord Zedd appeared and kicked Rita out of her palace and sent her off in a smaller space dumpster never to return again. Shortly after that the Zords were in a tough battle with a fish monster and the Rangers had to get new Zords, so Alpha and I came up with the Thunderzords. They were stronger and more powerful than the original Zords. They won the battles for a little while until Zedd brought out a special green candle that could take away Tommy's powers. Unfortunately, he was successful in taking his powers. Alpha and I thought that the team was still missing something. So, unbeknownst to the Rangers, Alpha and I went into hiding to work on making a new Ranger. When we were finished making the adjustments, we needed a human to take the powers. And of course we went to Tommy who already knew all there was to know, so Tommy became the new White Ranger."

Tommy spoke up again, "After I became the White Ranger, and the leader of the team, we fought strong for a long time. Then in a twist of fate Jason, Trini, the Yellow Ranger, and Zack, the Black Ranger, were called to a Peace conference in Switzerland. So we had to pick new rangers to take over for them when they left. Around the same time, Rocky, Adam and Aisha over there had just moved into town from Stone Canyon. They became great allies due to their great attitude and skill. So, it wasn't a shock when Zordon picked them to become the next Red, Black, and Yellow Rangers."

Shortly after they joined the team, Rita came back in her dumpster and while Zedd was sleeping, slipped him a potion that made him fall in love with her so he wouldn't kick her out again. And because Zedd was under the spell, the two were wed a little while later. This wasn't good for the Rangers. The power of the two combined proved too much for the Rangers as their powers and their Zords were destroyed." Stacy raised her hand. Zordon stopped and said, "Yes?" Stacy dropped her hand. "So, if their powers and Zords were destroyed, how can you think you can beat these new guys?" Zordon chuckled. "Well, you see, We always have a back up plan to the back up plan." Stacy nodded.

"Now, where was I?" He paused." Ah, yes. To get new powers, I sent them on a quest to see Ninjor, the keeper of the legendary ninja powers and the creator of the original Power Coins. The Rangers were successful in getting their new powers." "After a little persuasion." Tommy whispered to Stacy. Zordon ignored Tommy and continued. "They were also given new Zords. Around that time, a really famous gymnastics coach came into town. He was looking for good talent."

Tommy started to talk again. "Kim was really good at gymnastics and after the coach looked at her, he knew that she was going to be a contender for the Championship. He offered her a chance to train in Florida in preparation for the Pan Global Games. She couldn't give it up, and none of us would let her. So, eventually, she decided to go, but we still needed a Pink Ranger. At the same time we met a new friend, her name was Kat. She was under Rita's spell, like I was. But, unlike me, we didn't know it. By the time we figured it out she really didn't want to be evil anymore. We protected her with all we could and, eventually, she was released from Rita's spell. Kim finally decided to go to Florida, and Kat was a shoe-in to become the Pink Ranger."

Billy spoke up again. "Now, Rita and Zedd were not the only villains that arrived for us to fight, there was one more. His name was Master Vile, and he was also Rita's father. We knew that this was going to be a difficult task to not only fight Rita and Zedd, but now Vile as well. So we needed new Armor. We developed a new type of armor that we could use in case it got to hard for us as it was, it was called Metallic Armor. We used the armor to hold off Rita and her brother Rito so we could get a special crystal that holds tremendous powers. It was called the Zeo Crystal and was comprised of five different crystals, a star, a rectangle, a triangle, a double oval kind of shape (didn't know what to call it) and an oval."

Now, the power of this crystal was so great", Billy continued, "that Rita, Zedd and all of their goons kept trying to get it. They never succeeded to gather the crystal, but we still had to hide it from them. One day something happened that none of us were expecting. Rita and Zedd made a spell that turned back time. So we were all turned from teenagers to kids, according to my calculations, approximately five years. After that we didn't have any way of fighting Rita and everyone else considering we didn't have powers anymore. So after Zordon teleported us to the command center, I had an idea that would mix the powers of the Zeo Crystal and the power of our Power Coins. I made a machine that could turn us back into teens with, like I said, the power of the Coins and Crystal. I finally got it to work and try it out on myself."

Jon stepped forward. "This is where I come in. When I was walking home after school I heard screaming. So I ran over into some bushes to hide, just in case. When I saw Goldar and Rito standing there in front of the Rangers I knew I had to do something. So after these…these…birds took the machine…" He was interrupted by Rocky who said, "Tengas, they were called Tengas." Jon looked at Rocky as if he were mad at him. "It doesn't matter what they were called. This is my part of the story." He gave Rocky a scorn look, Rocky blushed and everyone else chuckled. "Anyway," Jon continued. "So the TENGAS took the machine and gave it to Rito and Goldar who then made another coin appear, it was the Green Ranger Coin. He then said he was going to destroy them all together and threw the machine in the air, but before the two idiots could destroy it I jumped in, retrieved the machine, gave it to Billy, who then handed the Rangers their respected coins and they morphed while I sat in a bush and watched.

They were getting beaten and I didn't want to sit around and watch. Zordon figured that out and sent me the Green Ranger Morpher. I used it to become the Green Ranger and helped defeat Rito and Goldar for the time being. And while I was here getting debriefed about what was going on, Rita and Zedd's palace was taken up in space by Rita's Father Master Vile. After that we basically sat back and waited to see when and if they made their move again. And from there on, you know what has been going on."

Kim stood still and said, "Okay so let me get this straight, you've been a Ranger this whole time and you didn't tell me?" Zordon spoke up and said, "Actually, Kimberly, Jon and the Rangers don't have powers anymore…" Kim interrupted him but was looking at Jon. "Did he just call me Kimberly? You know I don't like being called Kimberly!" Jon placed a hand over her mouth. "It's his way of addressing people, by their real names, not shorter versions." Kim peeled his hand of her mouth, pointed at Tommy and said, "But he calls him Tommy? I'm sure his name is Thomas!" Jon re-put his hand over her mouth and said, "Please? Just listen to the big head, huh?" Kim's face went to depressed as she turned to Zordon.

He continued, "As I was saying, they don't really have powers anymore, they do have their ninjetti powers but that is in short supply without their power coins anyways." Tommy stepped up, "Speaking of which we might need those if we are going to defeat the monster." Almost on cue the alarms in the command center started to go off. Jon moaned and said, "C'mon, did ya have to say it?" But then Jon thought of something, "Wait a minute, what will we do with the pink Coin?" Zordon pondered this for a minute and so did everyone else.

Then Jon sprung up with an idea. "I got it!" he said. Zordon spoke up to. "I know what you're thinking." Jon looked down at Kim and said, "Kim, would you be the Pink Ranger?" Kim's eyes got wide open as if completely surprised. "Um," she said. "I don't know if I would be able to." Zordon said, "Kimberly, I have seen you fight out there you are graceful like your predecessors before you. I think you would be a good Pink Ranger." Kim looked up at Jon, "Do you really think I could be a good Pink Ranger?" Jon kissed her on the forehead and said, "I think you'd make a great Pink Ranger!" Kim sprung to life with joy. "Alright then! I'll do it!" She pumped a fist as Alpha was already there with the Morpher briefcase, opened it and everyone took out their respected Morphers, including Kim and held them tightly. Tommy brought his head up and said, "Alright, Rangers! Are you ready?" Everyone stepped forward and said, "Ready!" With that, they all teleported out of the command center.

Dumpkins landed on Earth again after coming back from the moon and he brought a dozen or so putties, they were all in a row. Dumpkins walked in front of them all like a general and soldiers. "Alright you clay-brains! Listen up and listen good. From now on you take direction from me or Master Vile. I have strict instructions to gobble up all the people on this planet so Master Vile can take it over." He walked up on a pedestal and stood in front of his army. "We WILL take over the world and destroy all humans!" He threw his hand in the air as he screamed to the putties.

A voice came from no where, "Not if we have anything to say about it!" Dumpkins looked over to see Jon and the rest running towards him. They came to a stop all in a row staring down Dumpkins, who wasn't at all impressed. "What do you think you puny humans can do against me and my army?" Jon stepped forward. "I think we might be able to handle our selves."

He looked deep into Dumpkins eyes and said, "Are you guys ready?" The gang ran up and in unison said, "Ready!" They all put their hand behind their backs as Jon said, "It's Morphin Time!"

Dragonzord Power!, Jon yelled.

White Ranger Power!, Tommy yelled.

Black Ranger Power!, Adam yelled.

Pink Ranger Power!, Kim yelled.

Blue Ranger Power!, Billy yelled.

Yellow Ranger Power!, Aisha yelled.

Red Ranger Power!, Rocky yelled.

They all stood in a line and yelled, "Power Rangers!" Behind them the usual pyro/colored smoke poofs into the air.

Dumpkins jumped into the air when the pyro went off and landed on his butt. "Wh-what? H-how did they get their powers back?" Jon stepped up and pointed at him. "That's for us to know and for you to not find out!" Dumpkins got up and turned towards the putties. "Putties, now is the time that we fight to destroy the world. First we destroy the Power Rangers!" The putties threw their arms up into the air in agreement and yelled. Dumpkins pointed at the Rangers and said, "Now, ATTACK!"

The putties roared as the started to file out and run towards the rangers. Jon clenched his fist and nodded at the others while saying, "Let's do this!" The others clenched their fists and nodded. Jon turned slowly to see the putties running at them. He struck a pose and yelled, "HYAH!", then ran at the putties with the others at his side.

Jon did a summersault under a putties leg and did a sweep and knocked it to the ground. He then noticed one was jumping in the air so he rolled backwards and when the putty landed Jon did a front handspring from a squatting position and landed on his feet in front of the putty. The putty threw a right, left, and another right but Jon was there to block them all. Jon landed one punch to the putties chest sending it flying in the air and smashing against the wall.

Kim ran at the putties not knowing what to do. She tried to punch one but it blocked her fist and punched her in the face. She got up and tried to hit another one but she was blocked again and knocked to the ground again. She sat on the ground cowering in fear almost crying. Jon looked up at that moment and saw Kim on the ground. She looked at him as the putties circled her. "Jon I can't do this! It's too hard and they are to fast for me to do anything." Jon kicked a putty in the stomach and looked at her. "Kim, believe in yourself and you can do anything. I believe in you and Zordon believes in you. That's why he agreed you'd be a good ranger." Kim looked down and clenched her fists. "I can't give up. The people of Angel Grove believe in me, Jon believes in me and Zordon believes in me. I can't let them down!" Kim did a break dance like move and stood on her feet. A putty ran towards her and tried to punch her but she held out her arm and blocked it. She then clench up her fist and threw it forward nailing the putty in the head sending it flying into the one that Jon hit earlier. Two more putties ran at her but she did a back flip and landed gracefully behind them. She ran at them as they ran at her and she jumped into the air to give one a flying drop kick, bounced off him and did a back drop kick to the other. She floated in the air and landed gracefully on her feet as the two putties exploded. She looked up at Jon and gave a thumbs up. He gave one back and smiled under the helmet.

After a long fight everyone had defeated the putties and rejoined in the group. They looked at the Dumpkins and Kim said, "How did you like that Dumpkins. Even I, a first time putty fighter even managed to defeat them." Dumpkins waved his hand and said, "Beginners luck. If you didn't have your little boyfriend by your side you would be gone by now!" Kim lowered her head, but then brought it back up slowly and looked straight at Dumpkins. "You listen to me you big pile of crap! I may not be the strongest one out here, but at least I don't smell like garbage all day!" Dumpkins frowned angrily at the comment. "Why you little power punk take this!" He then leaned back and in one breathe he shot garbage flying threw the air and it landed in front of the rangers exploding on impact.

The Rangers flew into the air as a mushroom cloud of smoke and fire lifted in the air. They laid on the ground wincing in pain as Dumpkins laughed. Tommy winced and said, "How could this get any worse?" Just then Master Vile came down to Earth and laughed out loud. "Well Tommy, let me tell you how it can get worse. Or better yet, let me show you!" Vile waved his wand at Dumpkins and in seconds he grew into a giant Dumpkins. As he grew he said, "I'm not so little now am I!"

The Rangers stood up slowly and looked at the Giant. Kim looked at Jon, "What are we going to do Jon?" Jon looked at her and said, "I don't know Kim, I don't know."
