Olympius , the demon prince stood in front of the dark shadow. He knew exactly what the shadow was but he did not act in fear like Zedd or out of respect like Grumm. No this ancient creature did not deserve his service. The shadow of course knew exactly how the demon would react, after all Olympius was a spoiled brat. Out of the darkness around them emerged Zedd and Grumm standing side by side.
"Who are you?" The Demon having never lived when either figure was a powerful force in the universe.
"We are two lords of darkness." Grumm said in a rather condensing tone.
"I will not work with one of them!" Olympius snarled.
"Without it none of us would be alive, it has the power to kill us and every being in the universe, I think it might be best if we didn't what it said." Zedd replied.
"They don't speak." Olympius countered weakly. "I'm far more powerful than a Shadow" he smirked as he began to launch an assualy against the shadow, his punches were avoided. His kicks did nothing. The fire that we could launch from the palms of his hand did even less. The shadow merely lifts his arm and pointed at Olympius to knock him to the ground.
"You want to kill some Rangers?" Grumm remarked with a certain lacing of joy through his voice.
"That's all he wants." Zedd continued.
On Earth however Eric had to explain a lot to his young ranger team. The Hyper Chamber was full of questions from the youths.
"So let's start with why you didn't tell us you were a Power Ranger too." Monty remarked.
"You didn't need to know. The Quantum powers were retired." Eric replied.
"So you worked with the Time Force Rangers?" Abby asked.
"Briefly" the veteran said sternly.
"Who were the other rangers? The ones that were fighting the giant golden ape thing." Bastion asked.
"The other C-D Rangers." Eric replied. "All your powers come from a crystal found on an ancient planet, it was referred to as the Crystal Dragon in the myths. However the two rangers that were developing the powers disagreed about who should use them. I insisted it be people like you three and my partner disagreed, in the end we spilt the morphers between us and went our separate ways. Well it wasn't so amicable but you don't need to know the details."
"So where is this crystal now?" Monty asked thinking perhaps that more rangers could be created.
"Buried by one of the oldest rangers still alive, stop us bickering about it." Eric continued.
"Let me get this straight, can our zords combine with theirs?" Abby asked.
"Yes. They'll actually be ten , twenty times as powerful. There's also the Super Dragon mode programmed into the morphers for you and your black counterpart Monty. "
"Super Dragon?" Monty asked no longer really interested.
"You and the Black Dragon need to give each other a sample of your crystal energy then you get a new flashy suit, a more powerful sword and basically you become fifty times more powerful."
"And you spilt the two up?" He said sarcastically. "Great".
"Balance, it was all about balance." Eric commented ending the conversation there.
