It has now been a year.
Jason stood at the back door, watching Minh, who is outside in the backyard as she practiced the mantis style of Kung Fu, her mother's fighting style.
"Ohhh, daddy!"
Phoebe Scott skipped up to him with a bright smile, Jason turned to her with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes?" He folds his arms. "And what are you up too?"
Phoebe pouts. "You're so suspicious, I'm hurt."
"What is it, Phoebe?" Jason asked, just as Minh came in and closed the glass sliding door.
"I … well."-
"She wants to go to the mall." Minh interrupts, heading towards the kitchen to grab a glass and filled it with water.
"Hey, nobody gives you permission to rat me out!"
"Gotta go get freshened up!" Minh announced as she jogged away from them.
"Phoebe, we've been over this." Jason said with a sigh. "And you're still grounded when you decided to take your mother's car and rear end the neighbor's mailbox."
Phoebe pouts. "But daddy!"
"You want to make it 3 weeks of being grounded?"
Phoebe folds her arms, pouting. "No."
"Then go get ready for school."
"I am ready."
"You are not walking out of this house like that, now go put something else on."
Phoebe pouts. "Aw, fine!" She huffs, moving to the hallway.

Billy opened the passenger door of the Radbag2, helping Anastasia out. "It's been one whole year, hasn't it?" She asked as she linked her arm through his.
"Yeah." He sighed heavily, shaking his head. "I'm sorry I've been such a wet blanket today." He smiled a little when leaned up to kiss his cheek.
"You have every right to be one today." She said as they continued to walk.
"Billy!" Tommy suddenly yelled, and the two stopped suddenly and turned to see Billy's friends fighting Robo Rita's Putty Patrol and two monsters.
Anastasia gasped as Billy spun her around and quickly walked her back to his car. "Stay here and out of sight." He quickly instructed.
"I'm not going anywhere."
"Good." Billy nods, he leans to kiss her cheek, before turning and running in to help his friends.
"Alright you bucket of bolts!" Jason yelled, once Billy joined them and he pointed at Robo Rita. "You're in for it!"
"Oh, I'm shaking!" Robo Rita laughed.
"Dargonzord!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Triceratops!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
Zack pushes Minh towards the Radbug, the two hurriedly over to the light blue car as Anastasia sits in the driver seat, watching the battle, but gasps when the two approach and she quickly relaxes.
"Zack."
"Anya." He smiled. "Not the right time, but you look beautiful."
She smirks. "If that's your way of apologizing for blowing up my lab, then I'll accept it." She enjoyed the comical look he gave her.
"How'd you know it was me?"
"I didn't until now."
Minh silently looked from one to the other, until Rita's voice catches her attention.
"Before we begin, I just want to say, UNHAPPY ANNIVERSARY, RANGERS!"
"That's Robo Rita, isn't it?"
"An ambush!" Zack realized, pulling Minh down to hide her behind the car.
"How predictable of you all to get together on this special day!" Rita cackled. "And I have been so busy preparing!" She gestures to her two generals. "My new generals! I even reforged some of my old minions! Do you remember them, Kimmy?"
"Snizzard!" Kimberly remembered.
"And Minotaur!" The other monster yelled, not wanting to be left out. "Rows and rows of human graves! This place is beautiful!"
"Soon, all of Earth will be like this!" Snizzard replied.
"Good! We will start with the Rangers!" Rita cackled.
"Not if we end you first, Rita!" Jason yelled as he and the others met the villains half way in battle.
"I have to help my team." Zack said, turning towards Minh. "But I need you to stay safe, ok?"
"But she's the one who." Minh glared at Robo Rita who was in the distance. "We got to take her down." She said hotly. "I have been training for this."-
"Hard no!" Zack sharply cuts in, not tearing his eyes away from the battle in the distance. "You are not ready for this yet. Trust me. Jason would cut my head off if I let you."
"But."-
"NO!" Both Zack and Anastasia yelled in union, Minh shrinks back a little and nods.
"Ok." She squeaks.
A hand touched his shoulder and he turns to see Anastasia looking at him.
"Go Zack." She urged. "We'll be ok."
Zack nodded once before he jumped, using the Radbug as a launchpad, summersaulting in the arm and morphing while in mid air. His foot slammed into Minotaur's shield, sending the beast staggering backwards. The beast roared and lunged at him with his spiked club. Which Black Ranger avoided and grabbed the beast's arm.
Minotaur roared, throwing the Ranger off, only for Blue Ranger to jump in with a powerful kick to the monster's chest.
"What? No 'Sorry I'm late'?" Billy asked.
The Minotaur roared and smashed the nearest headstone with his club, the two Rangers shielded themselves as the shattered slabs hit their arms.
"You will both be sorry!" The beast menacingly walked towards them.
"You ok?" Zack asked, looking at his friend, who nods.
"Let's end this." Billy grunts. "Metallic Armor, Power Up!"
Zack let out a battle cry, leaping at the monster who covered himself with his shield, only to give a surprised yell as Black Ranger's fist shatters it with just a single punch.
"Man, this feels great!" Zack exclaimed. Billy sent Minotaur skidding backwards as he head butted the beast.

"None of them even complimented my fancy new machine." Rita complained to herself as she watched the Rangers and her two beasts.
Suddenly a pink energy fizzled out when it hit her device, Rita turns around.
"Nice try, Kimmy!" She sneers, she shot a blast at Pink Ranger, sending her flying backwards.
Kim fell onto her back and skidded to a stop right in front of a different grave, gaining Jason's attention. "Kim!" He yelled.
Wisps of black magic binded Pink Ranger's arms to her sides.
"Kimberly!" Jason raced to her.
"Aw, isn't that sweet." Rita jerks, pointing her staff at Jason and Red Ranger froze. "Zordon's Mighty Red Ranger trying to save the day."
"Jason!" Tommy called, as he's also trapped.
"No!" Minh cried, running around the Radbug, Anastasia trying to stop her. "Let them go!"
"Minh!" Anastasia cried, grabbing the teen's arm and trying to pull her back.
Robo Rita turns to them. "What is this?" She cackles, she moves her staff to the side and Red Ranger thrown backwards and slammed into Green Ranger. "Do my eyes deceive me?" She asks as the two Rangers crash into the ground. "Trini Kwan?"
Minh wiggled out of Anastasia's grasp to take steps forward. "My name is Minh, you monster! And you will pay for killing my mom!"
The robotic witch cackled with laughter.
"Oh, good. For a moment I was sure Trini was back from the grave! You look so much like your mother, but youthful vengeance reminds me of myself."
Minh made a fist, letting out a cry, but Anastasia quickly grabs her wrist, stopping her. "Get behind the car, now!" She orders, pulling the teen backwards and back towards the car.
Suddenly Pink Ranger and Black Ranger jump in Robo Rita's way.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Back behind the Radbug, the two girls watched the battle through the cemetery.
"JASON!" Kimberly screamed when Rita's machine paralyzed him, green vines ran along the red suit and Jason could only let out a strangled gasp before he was suddenly transformed into a miniature Red Ranger with green vines attached.
Anastasia gasped, tears shining in her eyes as she watched her friends one-by-one being taken. She looked around before her eyes land on a thick tree branch.
Movement caught Minh's eye, and she turns to see Anastasia moving around the car.
"What are you doing?" Minh asked, watching her.
"Be quiet and stay here!" Anastasia ordered, grabbing the tree branch and moving around the car.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
While Robo Rita was busy keeping her attention on Billy and Zack, Anastasia snuck towards her and the machine.
"And what?" Robo Rita suddenly spun around to face her, just she started to swing the tree branch into the machine and stared with wide horrified eyes. "Is this? A human playing hero?"
Blue Ranger broke away from Snizzard and leaped towards them, landing gracefully in front of Anastasia protectively. "Back off, you Space Can Opener!" He demanded, pointing at Rita.
Black Ranger kicks Snizzard to the ground, before racing up to stand beside Anastasia.
"What kind of sick game is this?" He demanded with anger.
"What are you doing with our friends?" Anastasia wanted to know.
"Oh dearest, it's simple." Robo Rita cackled. "My machine is draining their energy. Soon, they will be lifeless husks. You can join them!" She thrust her arm at them.
Billy twisted himself around in a 180 as did Zack, the two Rangers grabbing Anastasia and the three leaped into the air, before crashing down in front of the Radbug.
"Zack! Billy! Anya!" Minh cried from the other side.
"What happened?" Zack asked, pushing himself up then helping Anastasia up.
"Our metallic armor protected us from his attack." Billy answered, his eyes landed on their three captured friends. "Zack, we need to go, NOW!" He pushed himself up.
"But Jason." Anastasia protested as Zack quickly leads her to the Radbug. "Kim, Tommy."
"We have to save ourselves first!" He told her, grabbing the door and swinging it open, pushing her in before he hoped in as Billy started the car and slammed the accelerator.
"You think you can just drive away?" Rita hissed, suddenly appearing in front of them in a burst of light.
Minh and Anastasia turned to look behind them to see Minotaur and Snizzard behind them. "We're trapped!" Anastasia cried, reaching over grabbing a fist full of Billy's shirt.
"Road's closed, Rangers. Your move!" Rita again cackled.
"Billy." Anastasia whimpered, her lower lip trembling.
"Hold on tight!" He told her, slamming his foot on the grass pedal, Rita shielded her face as the car slammed against her full force, sending her skittering off the road as the Ragbag took flight.
"Alright!" Zack cheered. "The Radbag is back!"
"There's gotta be a way to save the others." Anastasia said. "She has to have a weakness."
"Zack, it's time to activate the Bandora Project." Billy said firmly, taking a glance at him.
"Right."
