3. Chapter 3

End of Evangelion Genesis of the Power Rangers

ESKK: No comments except this chapter it's now official Morphing time now then let's go rangers!

(Start Chapter 3)

It has been seven days since they had started their training with Alpha-5 as right now the five were now in Saturday School I kid you not Rei was now in Saturday School with the others as she was checking out some of the Clubs to join and had crashed down with the others as this was her second Saturday here. Asuka had of course been writing down something on paper with markers nearby before she folded it up and threw said paper at Shinji who caught it as it came at him like a shuriken. Shinji opened it and smiled before refolding it outside the teachers watch before throwing it over to Toji who mimicked his smile as he followed up with Rei who saw this and was confused at first and after a quick look up of a the word on it she made a small smile before she folded it up and passed it over to Kensuke who then opened it.

Once Kensuke looked inside it he smiled as he saw what Asuka had written. It was a thunderbolt symbol with their 'Colors,' as under it Asuka wrote down a message for everyone.

'Let's form a band.'

Kensuke couldn't help but smile as he also remembered that NERV needed their three pilots to come in today as Asuka had said this may be their last day going to NERV before possibly being shipped off back to wherever the three came from originally. Of course Asuka was Misato's ward as was Shinji and they were able to stay but they may lose their military rank and be classified as civilians and in turn when an Angel attacks be told to hide in the shelter.

As Kensuke smiled he saw that Kensuke already had a name for the band but wanted it to be a surprise as he wrote down the Band name before folding up the paper and putting said note in his pocket.

(Scene Break that Afternoon NERV HQ)

The three pilots were gathered in the briefing room instead of the Test Labs as Asuka knew what this was. They were basically about to get fired from piloting the EVA's but jokes on them in her opinion she got a way better job, though it didn't pay well... or at all but hey if anything The Great Pink Ranger Asuka Langley Soryu will be the one to outshine her friends.

Rei of course had been wearing a more punk like look as she had a few more yellow streaks in her hair as well as some brown ones which Rei had told the brown ones had appeared the morning after they visited the base the second time as she brought it up with Yui as the two were very secretive about it. The three waited as Asuka was ready to remove her A-10 clips as it didn't really help make her hair look nice do to its now shorter length as all three could hear Misato, Kaji, and Ritsuko outside as Maya went over the data quietly. Soon the door opened as the four mentioned adults walked in as some looked cold (Ritsuko) some looked with pity and regret (Misato and Maya) while some looked playful but had an aura of pity for the three (Kaji).

'Well here we go huh?' Asuka thought mentally as she had pictured this day since the EVA's had blown themselves up releasing their mother's spirits.

Rei was sitting there as she also felt worried wondering if she will be sent out of Tokyo-3 to some UN research facility when her Angelic Origin is made known and as she thought this her thoughts drifted to Yukiko and her family as well as Shinji and how they would possibly miss her or hate her for being part Angel.

The four adults stood in front of them as the 3 Eva pilots or Ex-pilot at this point, sat waiting for them to say something as Ritsuko took a breath of air and said, "With everyone here, let begin to say what needs to be said. As almost 2 weeks ago, unit 0, 1, and 2 self-destruct when a golden being push them to their limits, with no way of recovering them."

Ritsuko was about to say more until Misato step up and said, "I'll take over from here right now Rits… As of a few hours ago the decision of the U.N as well the remaining board of NERV… 3 three are no longer certified Evangelion pilots, due to the battle of the golden being took place destroying 3 active Eva's which is reasonable but unavoidable, as well cannot sync to other Eva's than the ones you have operated with, You are no longer child of NERV, but your names and title have been recorded being with NERV."

After a moment of silent as Asuka the first one to say, "Finally someone said it!"

That took all the adults by surprise as Shinji nods as he understands what she meant as did Rei but didn't show it as Misato said, "What? You mean you know it was going to happen?"

"We knew it was going to happen… sooner or later," Shinji said as Rei spoken up saying, "The quite the obvious scenario."

Kaji look to Asuka as she wasn't given him the puppy love look, which he is kind of missed it. Maya saw the pilots has already come to the conclusive on their own and they accepted it just like that, well they did had almost 2 weeks sense the Evangelion did get destroy and Gendo killed himself.

Misato look to them and all the child pilot accepted it just like that, but somehow its feels odd for her to see them like this, but then again she was mostly busy with other things to really notice to when the Eva's blew up.

"Well I'm glad you three have accepted it and it did make this easier on us. Now then, you are given some choices, all of you do, as you can stay within Tokyo-3 and you will be still under my care… but if you wish to leave, I do have a few friends in other city's or country and I can tell them to look over you guys."

All 3 of them gave a nod movement of something to show they understand as Misato went on saying, "But if you guys stay or at least one of you, you might get a chance to help the other pilots to operate their Eva's. You would be still with NERV, but more of like Instructors, but the pay won't not be that much if you would have been pay as pilots." Misato is still upset about that knew the pilot were supposed to get paid but didn't, and she would have image how much beer she would have bought herself with that… (Clear throat) as well keeping most aside for them as well.

"Don't get me wrong Misato the way this ended was kind of anti-climactic you know I was expecting my EVA Piloting days if it ended early to go in a blaze of glory you know." Asuka said as Shinji looked.

"I... didn't want to pilot the EVA's to begin with and right now I don't think we have months on end to synch with new EVA's." Shinji said sadly but smiled. "But I want to stay here and try and have another go at a normal life you know." Shinji said as Misato couldn't fault him for it.

"I shall stay as well and try my hand at this normal life to the best of my abilities that way I can understand more about myself." Rei confessed as she had been wondering where her own sexual orientation pointed for her since Yukiko came into her life.

"Alright I guess you made up your mines huh." Misato said as Asuka got up and took off her A-10 clips before putting them on the table.

"Here I won't need these anymore, I'll clean out my locker on my way out." Asuka said as she went to grab whatever none NERV gear she had in said locker.

"Dr. Akagi..." Rei began as she looked to Ritsuko. "We may have held our differences and dislike for each other but... I appreciate everything you have done for me when it really mattered so you have my gratitude." Rei said choosing to bury the hatchet now and forever before leaving as Ritsuko was visit shocked that even after all the bad blood between them Rei was the better woman and forgave her.

"Uh... Misato." Shinji began as Misato looked. "Make sure the new pilots finish the fight we started." Shinji requested before he left the room to clean out his locker.

(Scene Break later that Afternoon Command Center)

The five were being led by Alpha were impressed with the renovations Yui and Kyoko made to the base as Alpha was leading them to a different part while the five teens had hard hats on. "Ok I'm positive that this time you'll morph today is the day." Alpha said as Asuka chuckled.

"Don't be shocked when we fail." Asuka joked as they walked causing the others to laugh a bit.

"Well it will be today because I'm showing you guys some incentives to Morph." Alpha said as they soon arrived at a Hanger to reveal five robot dinosaurs activating as it looked like they underwent some maintenance as they were ready for battle. The dinosaurs were a Tyrannosaurus, Pterodactyl, Sabretooth tiger, a 6 legged triceratops, and an 8 legged Mammoth. "These are your Zords you're not ready to use them yet but once you Morph you'll be ready." Alpha said as Asuka had stars in her eyes as she began to drool a little at piloting a mech again.

"Now then this way Rangers training awaits at the Pit!" Alpha said as they followed him, all but Toji. Toji looked at the 8 legged Mammoth Zord as he looked to see the others already left before he grinned a very tooth mischievous grin.

(Later outside)

The mountain was normal as all was normal here since the occupants have been pulling some major work on a launch system which was very close to completion... but they forgot to factor in teenagers taking joy rides as soon the mountains was force open as the Mammoth ran out of control since someone activated it with no suit on.

(Mastodon Cockpit)

Toji was yelling and cheering as Mastodon ran across the area as he was having fun. "Ok this is better than a video game!" Toji called out as he then tried getting control. "Ok, ok where are, the brakes I need breaks!" Toji called as Mastodon tore through the random path. "Manual, manual!" Toji called hoping for a manual or manual control. "Where are the breaks?!" Toji called as he was freaking out.

(Outside)

"ALPHA-5!" Toji called as Mastodon ran up a hill and flew before falling back down.

(On the road)

A car was driving by as Mastodon soon appeared behind it as the old man driving the car was listening to music as he made his way to a rural town.

(Cockpit)

"Crap get out the way! No wait get off the road you'll die!" Toji called out as he tried to use his voice to get the guy to move.

(Back at the Cave)

Alpha was leading the 4 through the cave to the Pit as he began a rundown for today's training. "Ok with today's training you have to remember to wait, where's, Toji?" Alpha asked as Toji was gone.

"Seriously did that stooge get lost?" Asuka asked before Yui and Kyoko appeared freaked out.

"Everybody move!" They both called as soon Mastodon burst into the cave as Yui and Kyoko were hit shattering into pixels until they reformed trying to shut off Mastodon.

"Run, runrunrun!" Alpha called as the four teens crab with adrenaline fueling them before Mastodon slid on the ground shut off as Yui and Kyoko sighed in relief.

Everyone was getting up as the smoke settled while coughing as Yui checked on the kids and Kyoko was doing a damage report. "Note to self, make this place teenager proof the stupid stooge wrecked two weeks of work." Kyoko growled as Asuka saw this.

"So that's where I get it from." Asuka said as she saw this. "Anyway you guys ok?" Asuka asked as everyone was coughing.

Alpha got off and shook the sand and dust off of him as he saw the damage. "Ai yi, yi." Alpha said as someone should have child locked the Zords.

Toji soon cheered as he Mastodon's Cockpit opened revealing Toji as he was a bit shaken bit ok. "Ok my bad, my bad everyone that's on me right there." Toji said pointing to the crashed Zord.

"Baka stooge!" Asuka yelled as she marched torts Toji. "You could have gotten us killed!" She roared as she pushed Toji a bit hard.

"Well I didn't and we're all alive." Toji countered as he pushed back causing Asuka glared.

"Last I checked this place is supposed to be a secret base your little joy ride could gave exposed the entire place!" Asuka lectured as she pushed back harder.

"One don't push me and two don't act like you wouldn't do it!" Toji said as he pushed back harder.

"Guys knock it off." Kyoko tried to break in as Shinji tried to defuse this.

"Seriously you guys need to calm down." Shinji countered as he tried to calm them down.

"Hey here's an idea why we can't morph maybe it's because of you!" Asuka yelled as she pushed Toji hard to the wall as he then fell as he glared at Asuka before the two started fighting.

"Guys stop it!" Shinji yelled seeing these two fight.

"Calm down you two you're going break something!" Kyoko called as she tried to stop them but Kensuke looked like he was having some sort of anxiety attack to which it was Kensuke who acted.

"STOP IT!" He roared before getting between the two pushing them away from each other as when he did everyone looked at Kensuke in shock as something was now different a very major different. Kensuke saw this and looked at his friends confusingly for a bit. "W-what is there something on my face?" Kensuke asked as he then looked at his hands after he tried to feel his face only to find his hands and arms in a blue suit and in turn saw his entire body was in the suit as he was shocked at this.

"Did he?" Asuka asked in shock as Kensuke was happy.

"Alright its power armor not some tights!" Kensuke cheered as he looked at his body.

"How did you do that Kensuke?" Toji asked as Rei was surprised.

"Yes Aida-san how did you do this." Rei asked as she looked at Kensuke.

"I-I don't know it just happened." Kensuke said as he was surprised as the suit began to recede no doubt from the connection being lost not long after it was made.

That was when Zordon was heard as by the tone of his voice he wasn't too happy. "Go home training is over for today." Zordon said as this surprised everyone.

"Wait what but we didn't even start and Kensuke morphed." Asuka countered as Kyoko and Yui knew something was up or more like they knew what Zordon had been planning since the five arrived with Shinji.

"Do he didn't, not at, will at least." Zordon said as Rei looked.

"But wasn't the purpose of all this training to initiate the metamorphosis?" Rei asked she looked.

"Yeah and Kensuke did it so why send us home?" Shinji asked as he, kind of felt hurt by this.

"If that is so then Morph Kensuke." Zordon's voice said as Kensuke was now put on the spot.

Kensuke tried to do it but he couldn't as Asuka looked to him. "Come on stooge do it!" Asuka called as Toji looked.

"Yeah just do what you did when you broke up mines and Asuka's fight." Toji said as he tried to encourage Kensuke.

"I'm trying! I can't!" Kensuke called as he couldn't do it.

"My point exactly go home everyone." Zordon said as everyone began to leave as Alpha went to Zordon before Yui and Kyoko flickered out no doubt to talk to Zordon themselves.

(In Zordon's Chamber)

Yui and Kyoko stood in front of Zordon as they knew time is running out and Zordon patient is running low as Yui began to say, "Zordon please, just give them time to do it. They are just teenagers."

"It's not always easy for them or anyone to understand what its needed to be done, and some progress has been made when Kensuke morph that one time," Kyoko said as Zordon keep a hard look on his face.

"Time is of the essence, and we are running out of it," Zordon said as around at the chamber doors Shinji walk up to see what has going on and then he hear talking, so he hid himself to listen in on what they were saying.

"But Zordon you know that the only way you can get out of there is for them to connect to the Morphing Grid there's no other way." Alpha said as Yui knew Zordon was an old veteran and he had seen many things only a war veteran can come close to understanding.

"There has to be another way this team is doomed without me!" Zordon yelled as Yui needed to convince them to find another way.

"Zordon you're being unreasonable you're practically asking me to play God here in bringing you back from the dead. Yes the Morphin Grid is still very much unknown to me and Kyoko but if we tamper with it we may end up making things far worse and even irreversible!" Yui yelled as Shinji heard it.

'Playing God? Wait Zordon was the original Red Ranger does that mean?' Shinji thought as he looked to the scene.

"I'm the only one who can fight against Rita but the only way I can do so is if I can get out of here! Find another way!" Zordon yelled as Shinji realized what Zordon had been doing this whole week.

'He was... he was using us.' Shinji thought as he felt very much betrayed as he had trusted Zordon just like how he trusted his father and thus far both of them had betrayed him. But as Shinji saw it he saw Zordon had a reason with good intentions, he knew what Rita was like he knew what she could do and no doubt didn't want this team to die like his own did. Shinji then did something out of character as he gritted his teeth and turned his hands into fists. "So that was it this whole time!" Shinji called as everyone looked as they were shocked to see Shinji here. "We were all just means to an end to get you out of that wall!" Shinji called as he glared at Zordon.

"Shinji wait it's not what you think let us explain." Yui tried to defend but how else was she supposed to tell her son that they had all but lied to him and his friends to help revive Zordon.

"No I get it, Zordon doesn't think we're ready and he never thought we would be ready in time." Shinji accused as he glared at Zordon. "And you know what, he's right." Shinji said as that surprised everyone. "He's right because he's treating us like we were HIS team way back when! Well Zordon news flash WE ARENT YOU'RE OLD TEAM!" Shinji yelled as he released years of pent up emotions at Zordon similar to an emotional teenager yelling at his parents.

"You said we were the Power Rangers right? Well did you actually mean it or did you just say it to keep us here!" Shinji yelled as he looked. "Well you know what I'll put my faith in my friends and I will say we will Morph! One way or another and if we can't we'll still fight Rita with or without powers!" Shinji yelled as Yui felt pride for her son here that he was standing up for himself. Shinji then stormed out of the base as Zordon was left speechless as he still had memories of the day he died using the Instrumentality Weapon.

"I'll send Beta 7521 to watch them for now." Yui said as she activated said Beta to follow.

(Later with the Four)

The Four arrived at the cliff side as they looked at each other as they had been dealt the biggest disappointment of their lives. Asuka more than others as this was her last chance of making it as something great. But she supposed it wasn't all bad, at least she got to be with her mother through it all and for that she was grateful. Toji then picked up some wood as he saw it was fire wood before he smiled. "Hey guys there's some campfire here, we can dig a fire pit and have a cook out, brought some food also if you want some." Toji said as everyone agreed to that.

"Yeah just worried Wonder Girl here won't like any meats you brought." Asuka said as Rei looked for a bit.

"I shall... attempt to stomach it." Rei said as she surprised the group as Asuka shrugged figured long ago Rei was trying to find herself hence the wardrobe change.

"Mind if I join in?" Came a voice as the group looked and saw Shinji who looked winded as everyone agreed and began building the fire pit.

(Later after the Fire Pit was built)

Toji was eating a kebab while everyone cooked the food he brought and ate said food as Rei herself was enjoying some s'mores as apparently she couldn't stomach meat for long hence she ended up vomiting off the cliff edge as everyone looked. "So what now?" Kensuke asked as everyone heard him.

"Well what else can we do? I mean we tried our hardest God knows we did but it just wasn't enough." Toji said as Rei looked.

"It's odd we are supposed to connect to each other act as one unit and one unified front yet in the end we still appear as nothing more than strangers to each other." Rei said as she looked at the fire as she and Yui had talked a lot and rei won't like that she felt Yui had become a sort of mother to her... though it did make sense since Rei had 50% of Yui's DNA in her.

"Maybe that's the problem." Kensuke said as everyone looked. "We know almost nothing about each other except that we are all a bunch of." Kensuke began before looking to Asuka. "May I?" He asked as Asuka already knew what he was going to say.

"Normally I'd say no but since you asked go ahead." Asuka said feeling she was about to be roasted.

"We're all a bunch of screw ups in one way or another, Toji skipping school more then allowed, Rei and her anti-social tendencies, Asuka with her temper, me with my need to sneak around take pictures of girls and blow stuff up in experiments and pyrotechnic screw ups, and Shinji well his dad is proof enough of how he got screwed up." Kensuke said as he stood up for a bit.

"It may not help but maybe if we know more about each other we can actually learn to work together." Kensuke said as everyone looked to him as Kensuke stood and cleared his throat before speaking. "Ok well I'm Aida Kensuke, my mom died when I was just a little kid in some weird accident while my dad was a soldier who was KIA which is killed in action." Kensuke said as he looked to everyone. "I always thought as long as I stuck with the strong guys like Toji and Shinji no one would harass or bully me but Bulk and Skull happened on a daily basis but anyone could outsmart those two bozos." Kensuke said as Asuka chuckled.

"You have no idea there." Asuka said as she looked to them.

"But now that we're all here together, well I just can't help but feel like we are close friends regardless of where we came from or how we acted." Kensuke said as Toji looked before sighed.

"Well me... before Shinji arrived my little sister Sakura she always talked about joining the Olympics you know, she wanted to be an Olympian ever since she saw the videos of the past Olympics and she had trained ever since then." Toji said as Shinji didn't like where this was going. "Then the first Angel battle happened and she was hurt and kicker was it was a lot worse than we all thought." Toji said as he tried to hold back tears. "As the Angel Wars progress her legs got worse and weaker that the doctors had to suggest we amputate them before they cause damage to the rest of her body and replace them with prosthetics." Toji said as he was now getting to the stressful part.

"She got into a deep depression with suicidal thoughts, imagine it a 9 year old attempting to kill herself, but how can, you come out of knowing that the one thing you had strived for your whole life was ripped away from you leaving you with nothing." Toji said as he looked. "Dad and gramps I know they meant well trying to help her but well they were too busy to help directly so I ended up having to fill in even when they told me not to worry." Toji said as he looked as everyone was sympathetic as they didn't know this and Shinji felt it was his fault in that fight unaware that the Beta Yui had sent was watching the group.

"But you know something good came out of all this, Sakura got her legs back, I was at school and got a call and next thing I know my baby sister is walking again if just barely." Toji said with tears in his eyes that he tried wiping away. "So yeah I'm glad to have met all of you because regardless of all the ups and downs I'm still glad good came out of being friends with all of you." Toji admitted as Rei saw how those two had shared but when eyes went to Asuka she was eating as she glared.

"Pass." Asuka said as everyone figured as much.

"I will speak." Rei said as she looked to everyone as now was a good as time as any to come clean. "I wasn't born naturally." Rei began as she looked. "In fact I wasn't born at all, I was grown and created in a test tube as a lab experiment of sorts." Rei admitted as she looked to everyone. "Commander Ikari, he had me created in a state of his own insanity and obsession with Dr. Ikari." Rei said as she looked down. "He used the DNA of Yui Ikari left behind in Unit 1 about her failed contact experiment and the DNA of the 2nd Angel Lilith so in a biblical term I am a Nephilim while in a scientific term I am a clone of the two." Rei said as she had her hands on her lap as her hands turned to fists.

"I knew the Commanders scheme to end the world in order to be reunited with his wife, but now that his plan had failed with Unit 1's destruction he committed Suicide and destroyed my other bodies." Rei said as everyone was shocked.

"Wait so you're a clone and the Commander had other bodies created as spares?" Asuka asked as it sunk in. 'No wonder she felt she was replaceable she had spare bodies to give.' Asuka thought as Rei nodded. "So those body parts of young girls, they weren't random girls they were actually your spare parts." Asuka said as Rei nodded.

"Yes, but now that Commander Ikari has expired I have lost my purpose and now the world is at the mercy of SEELE if they are allowed to carry on." Rei admitted as she looked to her friends. "I knowingly and willingly aided in Commander Ikari's madness and had intended to ensure its success, so the coin shouldn't have chosen me, in fact it should have rejected me." Rei said as her voice began to crack as she began to realize what she had nearly done to aid Gendo in his plan. "Now without the Commander I'm lost and I don't know where I reside in this world." Rei said as she began to shake as Toji looked.

"Look Ayanami, no Rei you're you and right now you're trying to find where you belong but if you ask me you belong with us, another screw up in this merry bond of screw ups." Toji said as Shinji stood up and walked torts Rei as his hair shadowed his eyes. Shinji then hugged Rei close as she looked at the girl as Asuka couldn't help but feel a bit jealous but what Shinji said next blew away her jealousy. "So what your basically saying is that we're siblings right?" Shinji asked as he looked to Rei as she was shocked that Shinji said that.

"Y-yes." Rei stuttered as Shinji looked.

"You don't have to tell me now but I want to know everything alright." Shinji said as he tried to make Rei feel at ease as he accepted their blood bond.

"Don't worry Dr. Ikari promised to explain it more in depth to both of us." Rei said as she looked to Shinji.

"R-rei she's your mother just as much as she is mine so you can call her Kaa-san." Shinji said as Rei looked down unsure how to feel about it but all she did was smile like she did when they faced Ramiel the 5th Angel.

"But Shinji-kun we are technically half siblings." Rei admitted as she looked to Shinji.

"Doesn't change anything." Shinji said as he then moved back to his seat as Rei was shocked that Shinji accepted her so easily. But coming from a young man who had been denied family and love for so long it was no surprise there.

"What about you Shinji what sob tell or sinful confession you have?" Asuka asked as she looked to Shinji from her own meal.

Shinji took a moment before he started to say, "I guess I would start at… the earliest memory I have of my mom… is when I was 3 or so… she was kind and sweet she too me and could wait to see her again when she came home… until the day I remember she died working on unit 1."

Asuka listen to his story carefully as it seem they both have something in command to lose their mother at the early age of childhood as Shinji went on saying, "My father… he gotten colder doesn't look at me anymore after that and soon a few days later he sent me to a teacher, and for over the years I've been living with him, it seem he doesn't really care about me and only took care of me to the minimal and homeschool. No birthdays or holidays, and no gifts or present ether. Just work of math, history, and other things."

Beta listen to Shinji story as it records and send back to Yui as for her, it was heart breaking and she should have been there for him instead of her life long work, maybe even let someone else test unit 1 instead but no… she had to put work ahead and got herself killed for it, and left Shinji to suffer that Gendo did and doing to him.

"Soon enough over half a year ago my father sent me a letter with nothing written on it but 'Come' and a blank VIP card that was meant for me. Doesn't bother calling me or coming to the station when I came to tyoko-3 where I told someone who work at NERV I would be there, he didn't even show up, and I got lost in the city until the first angel came and attack and later I meet Misato."

Giving every detail of how Shinji ended up piloting the Eva when Rei was hurt and Gendo was forcing her to do it instead, how he fight the angel, even losing to it before going berserk the first time as well.

Toji could not help but feel sorry for him, even thinking that one time he punch him days after the fight and when his sister got her wasn't the right thing to do as Shinji was force to do it. Asuka was thinking how could the Commander let an number child to pilot a unit without proper training even worst risking his own son life, just to show how much of a bastard he really is, even Yui thinking of the same things as she not always conscious of what was happening outside the Eva until she felt or sense Shinji was in danger as she protected him from fallen debris.

Rei herself felt ashamed in a way as she was willingly to pilot unit 1 when Shinji refuse to do so at first even when she was hurt.

"Yeah so Kensuke is right then we're all screw up." Toji said as Shinji looked around.

"Guys... we don't know if the next Angel will be here tomorrow or the day after or even in a year but I just want you all to know, this week was quite possibly the best week I ever spent in my entire life." Shinji said as he caused everyone to smile a bit. "So... no matter what happens I'm personally glad to have met you all and I want to thank you for being my friends." Shinji said as Toji and Kensuke smiled while Asuka scoffed while hiding a blush with Rei simply nodded.

"Well we're all in this together so if this really is our last day on Earth before Zeo Crystal worldwide nuke or Angel Third Impact I'm glad it was spent with all of you." Toji said as Kensuke nodded.

"Yeah but you know something?" Kensuke asked as Asuka nodded.

"Yeah if Rita shows up we'll hit her with everything we got and go down swinging." Asuka said as she would like to punch her in the face at least once.

"Agreed." Rei said as she wasn't going to give up without a fight as she had to do this for Shinji and Yui... for her brother and mother, her family. Everyone agreed on this as they knew they had to think of a plan of attack even if said plan wouldn't work they had to do something. Better than letting Rita have an easy time getting the Zeo Crystals, they should give her a bit of a hard time if not an annoyance as a big middle finger to her.

(Scene Break that later that night Kensuke)

Kensuke was on his computer as he was glad he had snagged Rei's NERV ID as he was currently hacking the NERV mainframe using the Command Center's tools and Yui's backdoor into the MAGI as when he asked if she had one he simply responded that he had a hunch. As Kensuke looked he was able to have the Magi scan for odd energies that didn't match anything known on Earth and since the Command Center was underground surrounded by metals and ore to hide it Kensuke saw the data narrow down to right here in Tokyo-3 as he then pulled up the screen and smiled.

"So that's where you've been hiding." Kensuke said as he saw it was NERV HQ more specifically deep underground in a place labeled Terminal Dogma. Kensuke had now found the location of the Zeo Crystals now they had to think of a way to set up a defense against Rita to stop her advance on the Zeo Crystals.

(Meanwhile with Rita Repulsa Jewelry Store Tokyo-3)

Rita walk down the dark road of Tokyo-3 looking for more gold, as the mining area give her much, but still need a lot more to get for her to complete Goldar.

Ever sense she awaken from her slumber she been learning many things, even understand English and Japanese language to ale to understand the local and to torture them to figure out where gold may lay as she got a location of a jewelry store as she walks in.

Very few people inside as a loving couple trying to find that perfect wedding ring, the jeweler seller was behind the counter as she was talking to the couple until she hears the bell of the door ringing as she turn her eyes and saw the messy looking Rita looking around with her staff in hand as the lady step to the side away from the couple for the moment as the lady said, "Can I help you with something miss?"

Rita turn her head to her in a twitch like movement with the added cracking of the neck is heard as it could startle anymore who heard it as Rita came over to the counter where the lady stood and put a hand on it as she gave a weird look as she said, "Gold… lots of gold."

The lady nodded as she bend down to a tray of gold rings after she hit an silent alarm, and lay the rings before Rita as she said, "We have a wide selection of things to ahh…"

The lady trail off as she saw Rita taking a hand full of rings as they melt in the palm of her hand before swallowing it as Rita seem to taste it and happy to know it was real and needed more… lots more as she quickly shot out her hand to the lady behind the counter and said, "I need more gold… where is all of it!"

The couple who watch the whole seen back away slowly as they figure something was going down, even by the look of it, with the lady freak out by the lady and what she did with the gold rings, and soon enough the lady was pulling out more and more gold jewelry before Rita as she smile to the amount, maybe not a lot but a good chunk.

The lady rush around getting all the gold together and lay it before Rita and hope the police will rush in soon as she just empty all the jewelry on display and in the back as Rita took it all the gold as it melted before her and adding some to the staff and into her being to save what she can as then Rita said, "I need more… Tell me where are all the, gold is!"

Rita point the staff at the lady as she worry as she said, "That all of it, including everything in the back, I swear!"

"Tell me where I can find more then… or else," Rita said as the gold staff spark green energy as the lady said as she started to cry a bit, "Please, I just work here."

Soon enough a police man came bushing through the door with a 6 shot revolver as he said, "Freeze! Drop the weapon, and hands in the air!"

Rita seem annoyed at this as she slowly turn around as the police man said, "I said freeze lady!"

"Or what?" She asked as she could see this enforcer of the law as she walked torts him seeing him as a minor threat. She soon saw his gold badge as she smirked at him but as she got closer the police man fired as the bullet hit Rita but she simply looked at where the Bullet hit and saw it fall to the floor not even leaving any blood as it had hit her exposed skin as. When the man saw this he freaked out and began firing wildly as the bullets were now being deflected by an invisible force causing them to hit the glass cases destroying them as the lady was freaking out.

"That's impossible." He said as he was about to call in back up but soon Rita vanished and appeared behind him before she used her staff to stab him from behind causing him to cry out in pain as she then threw him behind her with said staff of Gold. Rita smirked as she then raised her staff and followed it up by slamming the bottom to the ground as the ground began to shake and from the ground her Putties began to appear as they were just like the ones of the Rangers Training exercise.

"Kill him, and destroy this place." Rita ordered as the Putties happily obliged to their leader as they acted and began destroying as the man didn't even stand a chance.

(Later Outside)

Rita was walking away as her Putties roared as the building was burning down before it exploded as Rita smiled wickedly as she knew there was more gold in the city. She then saw a newspaper as she walked over to it. Normally she wouldn't bother with it but what she saw surprised her to no end as even though the paper was months old she saw the beings on it. "That Ancients, there here?" She asked as on the newspaper was the battle between Eva's Units 1 and 2 and the 7th Angel as she was shocked by this. "Oh this is just perfect." She smirked as she realized what the Gold she saved from Scorpina was. "I can give Goldar the powers of the Ancients even better I can use the Instrumentality weapon when I so feel like it with their power." Rita said as she saw that with the remaining Gold she saved from Scorpina the Ancients Clones biological samples were still on it so that means Goldar will be reborn stronger than ever.

She then felt it as she looked at her Green Power Coin on her staff as it was now formed into her rebuilt staff as she saw the Green Power Coin was resonating with that of another Coin. "Zordon you sly dog Power Rangers already?" Rita chuckled as she knew where to go since the Coins were linked to each other. Now that she thought about last week she felt her coin get drained a bit but she disregarded it at the time. But now she knew better the Rangers used it Coins power to do something normal healing couldn't.

(That Night with Rei)

Rei was in her bed asleep as she tossed and turned. So many things had changed as her mind was riddled with thoughts of what could have been if the EVA's didn't exist. 'Rei Ikari... daughter of Yui Ikari and younger sister to Shinji Ikari.' Rei thought as she wondered since Shinji had arrived what she had been feeling torts him. Rei didn't know if they were romantic feelings or something else but when she looked at Shinji she felt she can always rely on him to be there for her when it counted. 'Who am I to others?' Rei wondered as when she turned upward to open her eyes she was shocked at what she saw as before her was a woman as she had lowered torts Rei.

Rei knew instantly who she was especially when she saw the Green Power Coin in her staff. "Rita Repulsa." Rei said as she was pinned.

Rita looked deep into Rei's eyes as she also saw her hair as from what Rita saw those were natural for Rei but to humans they were not and her pale skin with the red eyes would label her an 'albino,' but she didn't show symptoms of one. She then looked closer as their lips were close to touching as Rei felt her heart race and this cold feeling in her heart and spine. She was... afraid very much so. "Oh I see now your only half human the other half is that of the Ancients." Rita said as Rei heard that.

'First Ancestral Race.' Rei thought as she knew they were basically the original inheritors of the universe.

Rei then pushed Rita off her with a show of force torts the ceiling as when Rei got up Rita was already back on the floor and once again pinned Rei to the wall. "So if your human origins people refer to the Ancients as Angels with select few calling them the First Ancestral Race, I suppose in your in the Ancients tongue lilin biblical belief that would make you a Nephilim an offspring of an Angel and human." Rita said as she chuckled clearly amused by Rei. "To top it off as the icing on the cake you're the Yellow Ranger." Rita said as Rei was in a choke hold as she tried to keep calm but Rita outclassed her. "You want to use your armor, I'll show you mine if you show me yours." Rita said as her breath became labored and aroused as green armor began to form around her body accompanied by gold as spikes came out of her outfit with her fingers being tipped with gold claws.

Rei saw Rita was distracted as once Rita had her entire outfit on Rei used her strength to push Rita to the wall and pin her. "No please stop your hurting me! You're so strong." Rita said trying to imitate fear but the way she said it showed she wasn't really hurt or scared at all. "I'm just kidding, little Yellow Nephilim." Rita said before she pushed Rei off her and threw her through a wall into another room. Rita went after her and pinned her as she smirked. "You know I killed a Yellow Ranger before, in fact she was the first one I killed." Rita said as Rei looked as her cold exterior was changing to show some fear. "And let me tell you a little something. I enjoyed every moment of it her begging for mercy begging for her life. I'm sure you won't be any different when you watch your friends die Little Yellow Nephilim." Rita said before she grabbed Rei and threw her to the wall making a dent.

"But I have a proposition for you, Little Yellow Nephilim." Rita said knowing fear would drive her. "Bring me the other Rangers and the location of the Zeo Crystals, and I'll let you live after all if your Ancient Blood is anything to go by you'll far outlive any of these lilin." Rita said as she then left as Rei was shocked as she felt her head and saw blood and knew she needed help, bad and NERV can't provide it.

(Meanwhile Ikari/Soryu/Katsuragi Apartment)

Shinji was asleep as he tried to think of a plan of how to fight Rita. He was supposed to be the leader but Shinji didn't see anything leader like about him. Sure he convinced his team to come back so they can train and with Kensuke's help they each confessed their sins well all but Asuka. Shinji just wondered what he was supposed to do if he couldn't lead them. Soon as Shinji closed his eyes he felt a hand grab his mouth as he was wide eyed and looked to see it was Asuka as she shushed him telling him to be quiet.

"Asuka what's wrong?" Shinji asked as he got up as Asuka sat on his bed.

"Ok here's the truth I know why we can't morph." Asuka said as she looked to Shinji. "It wasn't Toji or any of you, it was me. I'm the reason we can't morph." Asuka confessed as she had seen everyone confess their deepest darkest secrets and she just sat there keeping her mouth shut while spouting words of comfort she probably didn't even mean.

"What are you talking about Asuka?" Shinji asked as she looked to Asuka.

"You don't get it Shinji you idiot, I'm naturally a horrible person. Rei was more worthy then me when I piloted the EVA I was happy to be isolated in that plug where no one could hurt me." Asuka began as she looked to Shinji. "When I'm outside the plug I'm a complete bitch to everyone I meet, Misato, the stooges, Wonder Girl, even Hikari, and most of all you!" Asuka said as she needed to get this off her chest somehow. "I don't get why this stupid coin picked me, maybe I was just convenient and available or maybe I'm just the delivery girl to its real chosen one." Asuka said as she ranted. "But in the end I'm just doing to have people praise me, as ironic as it is I say that I don't need anyone but I need there praise because in the end that was what made up my life. I get praised for accomplishments and that was the only affections I ever knew." Asuka said as Shinji saw it.

"Not once was I ever praised for at least trying or coming close to succeeding. I wasn't even told that I tried my best but it wasn't enough." Asuka said as she looked to Shinji. "I'm just a complete bitch to everyone Shinji pushing people away so I can feel better about myself but, Kensuke was right we're all screw ups, but I'm the biggest screw up of all that I became a tool to the EVA. I let the EVA become my whole world and if people told me to get into the EVA and stomp or crush someone because he or she was an angel without proper data just to be praised for a job well done I'd probably do it and not bat an eye." Asuka admitted as she was releasing years of pent up emotions in one speech. "I don't deserve this power and I don't deserve to be called your friend or call you all my friends." Asuka finished as Shinji then put his hand on her shoulder as he saw her tear up.

"Asuka you're not a bitch, you were just dealt a bad hand but the fact your confessing to it all is proof your worthy. You're actually admitting to your faults and that's the first step of change." Shinji said as Asuka looked. "I know its cheesy to say that but it's true and Asuka you are worthy your my friend and I care about you I could have easily said no to cooking for you every day but I didn't because your my friend and your precious to me." Shinji said as Asuka couldn't help but smile to that. "Asuka you are probably one of the most important people in the world to me, heck when you dared me to kiss you one time I didn't consider it a kiss at all because I didn't want you to consider a kiss with me as your first." Shinji said as Asuka couldn't help but smile at this.

Asuka then did something she felt was out of character for her but with the world close to ending they might as well. Asuka grabbed Shinji pulled him closer before she outright kissed him on the lips catching him off guard as Shinji only response was to sink in to a kiss he enjoyed. Once the two separated Asuka smiled at Shinji as Shinji blushed. "There now we both had our first REAL Kiss." Asuka said before giving her prideful smile. "And how fortunate you are that your first kiss was with the great Asuka Langley Soryu." Asuka said as Shinji simply smiled at Asuka but soon both Shinji and Asuka's phones went off as they grabbed their phones and saw it was a text from Rei.

"What does wonder girl want now?" Asuka said as she and Shinji both open the text and saw what Rei wrote as it says-

"Meet me at the school track. It's the up most Urgent."

Asuka was confused, for Rei to send this kind of message would be something if an angel is attacking right now, but to meet at the school Track is something else.

Shinji on the other hand is worry for Rei to send this message mean something must have happen as it could be good or bad, but soon enough, the two ex-pilot grab what they needed and headed out, but they would soon they would not be just them.

(At the Track)

Shinji and Asuka reach the track area where they see Toji and Kensuke there as well as four eyes had a bag within looking like something for a bug-out, and the black wearing track suit jock carrying a small pack of some sort as Toji said, "You guys are here too, great."

"We got Ayanami's message, but we don't know what's going on. Is it an angel or something?" Kensuke said as the duo step up to the two guys as Shinji said, "We don't know. We all got the same message it's seem to meet here, right?"

Everyone nodded as Rei step out of from the shadows as Rei said, "You're all here."

Asuka look to her and said, "Yea we are wonder girl, so what's the big idea of bringing all of us out here?

Rei step out more as Shinji look to her and saw the cuts and scratch marks on her, even some site of blood as Shinji came up to her and said, "What happen to you?"

"Rita happen, she found me somehow," Rei said as that made everyone worry. As Shinji lead her to the stands to take a seat as Kensuke went through his bug-out bag and pull out a first-aid kit as he toss it to Shinji and said, "Here."

Shinji caught it and went through its to get some rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball as they started to clean up the cuts and scratches, and whip away any blood he saw.

"Tell us exactly what happened Wonder Girl." Asuka said as Shinji tended to Shinji's injuries.

"She appeared in my room, I attempted to confront her but she quickly over powered me." Rei said as that was what basically happened to her. "She wants to know the location of the Zeo Crystals but it seems she is unaware that none of us know its location." Rei explained as she began to tell them the end. "She said if I brought you all to her she would spare my life." Rei said as Asuka growled.

"Ok so you're telling us this because?" Asuka asked as she looked around wondering if Rei got turned.

"Because she told me where to meet her, the docks, so I came to you all first hoping we can amass a counterstrike against her." Rei said as Kensuke looked.

"Yeah I don't think we stand a chance." Kensuke said as he opened the Bug Out Bag to reveal what looked like a passport and a few other items for those about to go on the run or at least get out of dodge.

"Yeah I mean look at Ayanami she got her ass kicked and she has more pilot training then both of you." Toji said as Asuka got a tick mark at that pilot part.

"Well Shinji our fearless leader what's the plan?" Asuka asked as she hoped Shinji would get some backbone.

"I... I don't know." Shinji said as he bandaged up Rei. "I mean Rita is on the loose and we still haven't morphed." Shinji said as he sat down letting it all sink in. He looked at Rei and even after discovering all the truth he had learned he... he just couldn't allow this to happen to her. "But Rita made a very big mistake." Shinji began as he got up. "She hurt Rei and many innocent people, Rei will be the last person she hurts." Shinji said as he got up. "Guys the truth is Zordon was just using us to come back from the dead so he can fight Rita, I can see his logic he knows how to fight her and has years of experience, but he doesn't realize this isn't his team from all that time ago." Shinji said as he looked to his friends.

"I admit we aren't much but right now we're all that stands between Rita and the Zeo Crystal and she won't stop until she gets what she wants so I'm asking you guys, Stand by Me." Shinji said as Toji smirked.

"Shin-man do you even have to ask that?" Toji asked as he looked to Shinji.

"Look baka you may be the leader here but I can't let you lead these two stooges without me to keep them in line." Asuka said gesturing to Toji and Kensuke.

"I will also help, I owe the world that much." Rei said knowing she had played a key role in what might be humanities destruction.

"Well at least we went down swinging." Kensuke said as everyone agreed.

(Later)

As the group headed out they stopped by an Alley as they grabbed anything they can find to use as makeshift weapons from bats to chains and even brass knuckles and even knives. As they were already they began heading to the docks which Rei told them about as they intended to end Rita Reign once and for all or at least give her a major case of bug bites. As they soon arrived at the Docks they looked around while trying to stay quiet as Asuka held the bat, Rei held the knives, Toji with the brass knuckles, Shinji with a chain, and finally Kensuke with an electric riot stick with some juice left in it.

They saw as shadow at the end of the warehouse they arrived in as they saw who they assumed was Rita sitting on a chair looking to either be sleeping or admiring the moon. "Careful guys there's no telling what traps she has waiting for us." Shinji said as he needed to be careful or get them into some deep shit.

"Don't worry she won't know what hit her." Asuka said as she was ready with the bat.

"No something doesn't feel right, this seems far too simple and easy for us." Rei said as she knew they might have been walking into a trap and she may have just led them to said trap.

"GET HER!" Toji yelled as he charged forward roaring as everyone just had not choice and went straight in but when they rounded the chair they saw was a man tied up with a gag in his mouth as the five looked surprised as the man looked like he was ok, scared and freaked out but ok. They all looked at each other and the man before they hid their offending weapons behind their backs trying not to scare the guy.

"Help him." Shinji said as he and Rei went to help him as Rei took out the knives to cut him loose while Asuka removed the gag.

"What happened to you?" Kensuke asked as the guy looked.

"I don't know it all happened so fast one minute I was doing my round and next thing I know I wake up here." He said as when Rei untied him Asuka felt something slimy land on her as she then looked at it and then up as she was wide eyed.

"Guys she's here!" Asuka yelled looking up and when everyone looked they all panicked as Rita came flying down with an evil grin on her face intent on ending them as they got out of the way fast. The guy who was now untied began running away not wanting to deal with this as he wanted to go home and forget this. Shinji swung the chain at Rita but she let it wrap around her arm and pulled Shinji in before punching him hard. Asuka and Toji roared as they came in with the bat and the brass knuckles. But Rita caught Asuka's bat and took it before hitting Toji with it and using her staff to knock the air out of Asuka.

Kensuke roared as Rita used her staff to block the attack as the charge left in the riot stick was now gone and absorbed into the Green Power Coin within her staff. Rita laughed as they five were now disarmed before Rita quickly dealt with them and used her powers to make sure they were properly restrained.

(Later with the five)

The Five found themselves restrained hanging over the water with ropes tied around there necks as nooses as everyone was restrained. "Let us got you Bat Shit Insane fucking Alien Bitch!" Asuka yelled as Rita looked to her and grabbed her by the cheeks.

"My what a mouth you have on you, from learning about you humans or Lilin doesn't a mother normally wash your mouth out with soup for such profanity?" Rita asked but her tone showed she didn't really care as Asuka moved her head and tried to bite Rita who avoided it. "Now then one of you knows where the Zeo Crystal is or all of you do whichever is better but whoever knows will tell me or your precious friends will suffer for it." Rita said as she walked to the side and stopped at Kensuke.

"We don't know where they are and even if we did we wouldn't tell you." Shinji countered as Rita looked.

"Shush little red it's not you who knows. Its young blue." Rita said as she pointed to Kensuke who was shocked that she figured him out. "Now then blue you will tell me where the Zeo Crystals are hidden or I will kill your friends here one by one until none of them are left." Rita said as Kensuke looked worried.

"Don't tell her Kensuke whatever you do don't tell her." Shinji called as Rita glared.

"If you want tell I should decide who I should kill first." Rita said as she examined the Rangers. "Now who will die first?" Rita asked as she looked to the five teenagers trying to decide on who will be her first victim of this new team.

"Go to hell you bitch!" Toji said as he just piss off at her but that just made Rita pick easier as she face him as she said, "Ah, the bold black, thank you for choosing to die first."

Rita put her staff to the side of his face as a surge a power shot through him, the color of his skin was draining from him as if his life was being sucked out of it as everyone yell out to him with Kensuke hesitated before he yells, "Wait! I'll tell you!"

Rita smile before she let off of Toji as went her staff was pull off the color return back to him and he gasp to his breath as he felt he was drowning and caught out as Rita look to Kensuke as he said, "It's in NERV Base. The bottom level of NERV called the Terminal Dogma."

Everyone is shock as it seem there was another secret to NERV that no one knew about, as the 4 look to their friend as Shinji said, "Kensuke?"

"How in the hell did you find that out stooge baka!" Asuka said as Kensuke said, "I swipe Rei's access card to get into the main computer. I thought if we can find the Zeo crystal we can guard it better from her."

Rita smile and give a chilling laugh as she said, "Ah blue, just the weakest of them all, just like the last one, but just as perfect as well."

To Rita thoughts as she knew the parts other destroyed Evangelions are store in NERV base, as once she can form the low power of Goldar just to break through and retrieve the body parts of the Eva she can transform Goldar into his most powerful form ever, as she started to walk away as she said, "I'll let you live for now…"

Rita stop and turn around and said, "AS Zordon would be livid if I just killed you all… maybe just one of you then."

Pointed her staff at Kensuke as Shinji saw this and said, "No don't!"

But Rita fire a blast of energy at Kensuke as the lock on the pulley that keep him up, unlocked. He drop into the waters still tied up and soon began to drown.

Everyone call out to Kensuke but he wasn't coming back up anytime soon as Rita laugh at this before walking away with her power would leave the area soon enough as the 4 remaining rangers became untied and quickly try to get Kensuke out of the waters.

Shinji and Toji pull on a rope that was a part of Kensuke's as they pull him out of the water and see him out, as they lay him on the dock, Toji kneel down to his friend and slap him a bit and said, "Wake up Kensuke… Wake up!"

Asuka shove him to the side and said, "Here let me!" She began to slap hard at Kensuke as she said, "Wake up stooge!"

"Come on Ken don't do this." Shinji begged as he tried to wake up Kensuke even shaking him awake but Rei knew what had happened as he grabbed Shinji and just hugged him trying to stop him.

*Insert Stand by Me Sung by Bootstrap

"Ikari-kun stop." Rei said as Shinji tried to break out of the grip but Rei would not budge. "Please stop he's gone. He's gone." Rei said as her voice cracked while she tried to keep a lid on her own emotions.

"This... this wasn't supposed to happen." Toji said as he was shocked that he just lost his best friend. "This wasn't how it happened in the old shows." Toji said as he tried to make sense of this.

"Idiot-stooge this is real life it's not a fucking cartoon!" Asuka yelled out her anguish as she tried her best to keep her emotions in check but she saw how Kensuke had just died. A combo of drowning and being hung as luckily the water kept him from getting a wrecked neck but the water did him in.

"Guys help me pick him up." Shinji said as he grabbed an arm as everyone grabbed a body part to try and help him while being careful with his head. "Careful with his head." Shinji said as they had to go back to the base. Maybe... maybe Zordon and his mother could do something but this was just a fool's hope his mother she wasn't God but this wasn't supposed to happen he lead them and he screwed up in the worst possible way. He had to fix it somehow.

(Later at the Bases Entrance)

The four arrived at the entrance with their dead friend as they began to lower him a bit. "Help me out here." Shinji said as he held Kensuke as once Shinji had a good grip on Kensuke he felt how cold his friend was now.

"Be careful hopefully Zordon can do something." Asuka said as Rei was very close to breaking down. This was extreme sadness and anguish she was feeling the feeling of losing a close loved one.

Once Shinji had a good grip the four jumped down hoping praying to whatever God may be out there that Kensuke can be brought saved.

(Later at the Command Center)

Yui and Kyoko made a path as they had saw the four enter with their dead friend as they laid him down on the side as Zordon saw this. Again he had to see a Ranger die but the fact it was seen by those so young, and worst part was they didn't even stand a chance when Rita killed Kensuke. "Zordon." Shinji began as he looked to Zordon. "I'm, I'm sorry for yelling at you all!" Shinji said as he looked to them. "But please, please help Kensuke!" Shinji begged as he got on his hands and knees as he didn't care how pathetic it made him look him didn't want to lose his friend like this.

Rei walked off to a side where she faced away from everyone as she needed to be strong. But it didn't stop the pain in her heart or the hurt she was feeling deep inside. "I'm sorry but I cannot not without the connection to the Morphing Grid." Zordon said as Rei understood they could not join as one and now Kensuke was beyond their reach.

"I see..." Rei said as Asuka got pissed at that.

"Oh you see wonder girl!" Asuka yelled as she stomped torts Rei. She had wanted to punch her or even slap her at least once ever since she first met her. But now she had the perfect excuse to do so. "What is this interesting to you wonder girl to see a friend die like this!" Asuka yelled as she was almost upon Rei. "Or maybe you don't even care like the emotionless doll you are!" Asuka yelled as she pulled Rei torts her with fist raised but she didn't expect to see something on Rei, tears. Rei was crying and trying desperately to hold it in to be strong for her grieving friends but even Rei was hurting.

Asuka lowered her fist and let go as Yui appeared and hugged her daughter, Rei close as Kyoko appeared next to Asuka and put her hand on her own daughter shoulder. "Just let it our Rei, you don't have top bottle it up anymore." Yui said as she held her daughter close. The damage Gendo had done to her was there to make her an emotionless tool but Yui was intent on fixing it as she held her daughter close. "Let it all out Rei everything you bottled up, that's an order." Yui said as Rei broke down right then and there crying as she held her new mother close as the blue haired teen cried at this.

She lost a friend who was close to her heart and she couldn't do anything to help him except lay there like a doll without its owner. Rei cried shed tears she did not know she even had as she released her anguish and tears from what she had seen. She always thought death was inevitable and that they all must meet it but, she never considered how it would affect those close to the deceased. But now... now she knew and she didn't like it but she must accept it because these feelings she has they were real and they were proof of her own humanity and soul.

*End OST

Everyone stay in silent for a moment as Kensuke gave his life to save theirs and what can they do… nothing.

With Shinji didn't know what to do or say… he supposed to be the team leader, an ex-Eva pilot for god sake but he cannot think what to do even though... what Misato would say.

She would say, 'You did your best', maybe 'Just be a man', or just 'It's not easy being human', but the words of Misato wasn't helping him and try some place else…what would a team leader say to his team… something inspiring, or just something from the heart… the heart.

Shinji hardly follow his own heart, and just follow others, but when he's against angels and stuff his heart tells him to fight… to protect, so now they fought against a strong enemy... any lost the fight and one of their own… he gave him own life for theirs.

Shinji close his eyes for a moment as his fist tighten up and say what comes to thought, and from the heart as he started to say, "Kensuke… he gave his life so we can live… I might have done the same as well."

Everyone look to him as Shinji spoken, and he went on saying, "I would do anything to trade my life for him… or any of you to live… maybe to keep fighting, but mostly live on."

Everyone look down at themselves and thought what would they do if they were in the other shoes or what could they do themselves as Toji started to say, "I would trade my life away to protect my sister… my family, and friends… I would give my life him."

Rei look to herself and thought what could she do, knowing she wasn't replaceable as she had many bodies to replace her in case if she were ever to die in the field and in battle, but now she only have the one life and what would she do with it… "I would give my life as well to protect what is precious to me… to my friends, and my… family as well."

Asuka pulled out the paper Kensuke had on him as it was the one she made earlier as she teared up a bit as she saw another thing added. "Go, Go Power Rangers!" Asuka silently read as she smiled a bit as she looked to this. "I'd do the same, the stooge may have been a dumbass and a Brainiac but he was a good friend even to someone who was mean to him." Asuka said as she knew how Kensuke tried to help Bulk up when Bulk head butt Kensuke last week.

"Yeah we can all agree Kensuke he did this for all of us so we need to keep fighting for Kensuke's sake." Shinji said as that was something everyone could unanimously agree on. Soon the energy cloud in the center of the room began to glow bright in response to the four now unified as one unit as Alpha saw this while Yui and Kyoko pulled out there holo-screens.

"I don't believe it the Morphin Grid it's activating!" Alpha called as Yui and Kyoko saw this was Zordon's chance to get out of the wall. "Zordon hurry through it won't stay open forever!" Alpha called as Zordon began to grunt and growl as if he was in pain while the wall reflected that as the four looked to Zordon wondering if he would actually come out. Soon the energy much like their attempts at morphing began to reach its peak and then it burst out as the room was dark.

"Did it work?" Asuka asked as Kyoko and Yui saw the screen.

"It should have but where's Zordon?" Yui asked as Alpha looked around worried for his leader.

"Zordon where are you!" Alpha called as he looked around for Zordon. "Zordon did you make it through!" Alpha called but to everyone surprised the wall activated again and on it was Zordon as everyone was surprised at Zordon not taking the chance. "Zordon why didn't you go through this was your only chance!" Alpha called as he was shocked.

"Because only one of us could go through." Zordon said as soon they heard Kensuke coughing out the water in his lungs as they all looked and saw Kensuke getting up and grabbing his glasses which Rei handed back to him.

"Kensuke you maniac!" Toji cheered as he grabbed Kensuke as Rei hugged Kensuke as she was happy and glad he was ok.

"Shinji..." Zordon began as Shinji looked to him. "You were right, from the get go you were right. The Grid didn't make a mistake and this isn't my team it's yours." Zordon said praising Shinji as Shinji smiled at this as he couldn't help but feel a sort of connection to Zordon like that of a father and a son. Sure Zordon was an alien being from the age of dinosaurs who was now stuck in the wall but he makes one Hell of a father figure.

"They are now one unit." Kyoko said as soon the alarms went off as Yui smirked.

"Good thing to because we got company on the way." Yui said as she began to activate the defenses she and Kyoko had been able to complete during the whole renovation to the base.

(With Rita)

Rita was in the large clearing area as she had her staff ready as she needed to keep the Rangers busy for a bit to bring in her new and more powerful Goldar. She was in the mountain area and if she was correct then she will have direct access to the EVA graveyard as she already had sent her Gold after Kensuke told her about the EVA's. "Wait a little while longer my beautiful Goldar soon you will be reborn stronger than ever." Rita said with a smirk before she jammed her staff into the ground. "Come forth Putties lay waist to all that stands before you and Zordon's little Pet Power Rangers." Rita said with a smirk as she summoned an army of Putties to lay waist to Tokyo-3 and the Rangers.

(With The Rangers)

They saw on the screens a large amount of Putties were coming for them so Zordon looked. "Rangers..." Zordon began as they all looked to him. "It's time." Zordon said as Yui smirked.

"Alright Shinji get ready." Yui said as Shinji and his team each headed to their platforms.

"It's morphing time!" Shinji called out as Yui held back a squeal as in her childhood she was a major fan of super heroes like the Super Sentai and Kamen Riders so needless to say she was very happy.

The Platforms glowed with the Rangers respected colors as they saw words appear before them.

TYRANNOSAURUS

Shinji's body began to be covered in a red suit with white as the armor on it was completely alien to him.

TRICERATOPS

Kensuke was being endowed in the blue suit once more as the words appeared before him.

SABERTOOTHTIGER

Rei looked at her hands as she felt the suit appear before her but have the feeling similar to a plug suit but more battle designed and its plug suit like feel must have been to interface with the Battle Zords.

MASTODON

Toji grinned as his body was almost in the suit as his hands were covered now as he turned them into fists.

PTERODACTYL

Asuka's body was almost completely covered as she smirked as she was now back in action but even though she wasn't Red she looked good in any color and with that in mind Asuka was back and this time in Pink. Shinji's body was soon in his own red suit as the face mask appeared and with it the morphing was complete.

(Outside the Ship)

The five excited the ship as they were now in the suit as they were now morphed and with it they now had the power to fight back against Rita and the Angels as well as Goldar. As the five walked down the steps they then headed to the exit of the cave no doubt to stop Rita from getting to the base. As they looked they saw the Putties through the water trying to enter as they were climbing down now.

"Ok kiddies." Yui's voice was heard as Shinji looked. "Shinji already has a sort of Power Sword but I added a few extra gear to your arsenal before this and well let's just say you're going to love it." Yui said as Rei looked at her hands and from her wrists hidden daggers came out as she must confessed that was quiet useful as they seemed to be combat efficient. Asuka looked at her arm and saw a bow appear before it receded as Kensuke saw his arm become an axe while two spear like weapons appeared in Kensuke's hands. Once the weapons vanished Kyoko was heard.

"Those new weapons come with a few neat tricks so use them wisely." Kyoko said as Shinji looked.

"Well let's take down those Putties fast." Shinji said as everyone agreed.

The five then jumped up high to the water as they began heading torts the Putties.

(In the Water)

Shinji had Rei and Kensuke in his hands as he threw them upward while Toji gave Asuka a boost as the three went upward torts the foes and knocked the Putties away from the water entrance and back to the cliff as the five then were out of the water and on the cliff. The five looked at their foes as they summoned there new weapons and glared at their opponents. "You know how to use a bow and arrow right Devil Girl?" Toji asked as Asuka smirked under her helmet.

"Believe it or not you're looking at the German Archery Champion 3 year running." Asuka boasted as she had the trophies at home to prove it. "Though this thing looks kind of like the one Hawk-Eye uses in MCU Avengers." Asuka said as she saw the similarities but it looked like alien tech mixed with human tech like the other three.

"Ok then we take them all down once we're don here we go after Rita!" Shinji called as everyone agreed to that. "Go!" Shinji called as they all roared and charged forward to battle their opponents.

Shinji went charging in first, slash at the putties before jumping over and kicking them in the face before going hand to hand with his sword.

Asuka Pull back her bow as an arrow of pure energy, with a pink color to it came forth as Asuka launch it, a small group of putties were taken out as in a huge explosion as she smile and went on pull back and releasing arrow after arrow and with great accuracy too as she didn't want to hit her teammates.

Toji came like a berserker as he kicks at the putties, throw them around and cut them down with his axes, even given a battle cry of some sort.

Rei did some CQC with her daggers against the putties as they are fast and strange but they were sloppy and not well organize, even using minimal movement as she just stab, punch, or kick them down with ease, as her time as an Eva pilot, before she fought in unit 0 she was force to learn a self defense for angel combat and to protect herself from strange people, but she hardly use it on anything, so the putties did made her put those skill to good use

Kensuke swing his spear around slashing down every putties that came at him as he jump, kick, thrust, and whack them as he yell out, "This is way easier than in the pit!"

More and more putties came out as the Power rangers Try to keep up but they were over powering them for the moment even got close to Asuka as she had to use her weapon as a melee weapon and hit them with the blunt force of her bow as she said, "They're coming in too fast."

Everyone seem to be getting over whelm as there's no way they can deal with all of them at once until someone gain and idea as Toji said, "Hold on, I got an idea."

Toji rush back to the entry of the cave and jump back down in as Asuka said, "What is that stooge doing?"

"Don't know, but whatever it is, let give him time," Shinji said as she stab throw a putty before pull out and cutting it in half.

Moments later as the ground shakes, as from out the mountain side, smashing through, as the Mastodon Zord came forth, and ran over the putties destroying most of them at once.

"Ok this is much easier with the suit on!" Toji called as the cockpit opened as he looked at the group as there face masks receded revealing their faces.

"Hello testing is this thing working?" Came Yui's voice from their helmets as they all looked.

"Uh yea I think it is." Shinji said as Kyoko understood.

"Yeah good job everyone now we protected the base now we need to figure out our next course of action no doubt Rita is on her way to city." Kyoko said as they needed a plan.

(With Rita)

Rita arrived at the clearing as she saw Gold appear from the ground each holding what looked like limbs and biological parts from the EVA's as she smirked. "Good Job Scorpina you performed your task well now return and form Goldar." Rita said as the limbs began to melt with the Gold as Rita smirked. "Grow Goldar Grow!" Rita called out as Goldar began to form as soon he rose from the ground as his form was the same make up as Scorpina but his form now had wings as well as Pylons from the EVA and even his normal head mixed with that of the EVA as this looked like the failed EVA known as Null mixed with Goldar. Goldar roared as it rose from the ground now more powerful than before as he roared in triumph.

(With the Ranger)

"Uh guys." Kensuke began as they were discussing their plan as they looked and Asuka was shocked.

"We're too late." Asuka said as she saw the hybrid of Goldar and an EVA had now risen up.

"Not yet." Yui's voice was heard as they looked.

"Yes now that you have the suits you can now access and use the Battlezords as proven by Toji." Zordon said as Yui looked.

"I'll contact NERV HQ and warn them maybe we can buy the civilians some time." Yui said as Shinji looked as he nodded.

"Let's ride then." Shinji said as the five began making their way with Mastodon to the Zord Launch bay with one thought in mind, stop Rita and Goldar no matter the cost.
