Anastasia sat on the couch in inside the Kwan living room. Her knees are pulled up to her chest as she hugged her legs. Growing up she lived in Summer Cove, there had been no evil action there or the surrounding areas, but Anastasia was always interested in watching the news to want to know about the Power Rangers.

Anastasia remembered being so scared that she never wanted to go to Angel Grove, she didn't want to visit or live there. But then the evil left Angel Grove to go somewhere else, but after awhile a new villain arrived inside Angel Grove THEN held the whole town hostage to force the Power Rangers to come out of hiding. That scared Anastasia more! So she simply refused to be apart of Angel Grove.

Only until she met Billy.

"It happened so fast!" Zack's vent pulled her out of her thoughts making her jump and blink a few times to see Zack and Billy standing in the middle of the room. "The same machine that Rita's building, what does it do?"

"Honestly? Something that uses our power made by Rita. That's a bad mix and if we don't put a stop to it, I … I don't think Tommy, Kim, and Jase will make it." Billy sighed.

"Then we got to destroy her!"

All three turn to see Minh walking towards them, and Anastasia straightened up on the couch.

"We?" Billy asked with skepticism.

"Yeah!" Minh exclaimed.

"This is Ranger business, Minh." Zack told her firmly. "You're a teenager who has homework due."

"What?" Minh blinked, looking at him. "She killed mom! It's personal!"

Unsure of what to do, Zack looked at Anastasia, who looked unsure too.

"You know how hard I have trained!" Minh continued.

"Jason trained you for defense. Marshal Arts is defense." Zack told her firmly.

"He trained Phoebe!"

"Phoebe's not the one who's out for blood." Zack continued. "You are."

"That's not fair!" Minh yelled, flinging her arms in frustration.

"What you don't understand is."-

"Let me finish!" Minh shouts. "If mom could do it … if all of you could do it as teenagers, so can I!" She looks at Billy. "This is her legacy! I can help!"

"Minh, I am really sorry but you can't." Billy said. "You are not a Ranger."

"Those monsters would overpower you in a second." Zack added.

"Mom's morpher is inside that box!" Minh points to the nook where the box rested on the shelf, the morpher locked inside. "I can use it and be a Ranger. Fight alongside side you guys!"

"No!" Zack shouts firmly, he may not be Minh's legal guardian because Jason and Kimberly are, but since the two are currently held hostage by an evil Witch robot, Zack decided to take up the responsibility until Jason and Kim are saved.

"The best thing you can do for everyone is to stay out of trouble and let us sort this out." Billy told the teen.

Minh narrowed her eyes on him. "Says the guy who caused all of this."

"Minh!" Anastasia shot her a glare, Minh looked at her but turned back to look at Billy.

"We all know that if it wasn't for you trying to Frankenstein a dead alien, my mom would still be here!" She looks at Zack again. "And you're not my guardian."

"Until Jason and Kimberly return, I am." Zack said firmly.

"This is not fair!" With that Minh turns and stalks out of the room.

"Minh!" Anastasia yelled after her.

"Anya, it's ok." Billy told her.

She looks at her husband. "But." She trailed off when Billy took her hand and squeezed it gently.

"It's ok." He told her gently, he looked at Zack. "We need to get to Cranston Tech. It has the scanners we need."

Zack gives a nod. "Let's go." He pauses and turns to Anastasia.

"I'd like to come." She said, looking at him, then to Billy. "Minh's clearly raging with anger, and I don't want to be around her, and plus I feel safe with you guys." She looked back at Zack, then turns to Billy again.

Billy nods. "Ok." He wraps his arm around her and he and Zack lift their communicators, teleporting away. Zack in black while Billy's is a mix of blue and white.

Up on he moon, Robo Rita cackled gleefully as she slammed her staff on surface of the ruins of her old home. She walked into the the throne room alongside her squad of Putties, Minotaur and Snizzard along with her device that held the three captured Power Rangers.

"Ah, this place brings back memories!" She exclaimed. "Those pesky Rangers are so annoying, trapping my Zeddy in a crystal prison!" Her robotic eyes gleamed with crimson energy as she peered at her device. "Drip by drip, your delicious Ranger powers ebb away. Let's see how much I have stolen from you!"

Rita tapped one of the consoles as the tubes showed a rise in the purple energies and the sphere in the center of the device sparked with wisps of blue energy. "How disappointing!" She growls, she walks over to the terrace with her generals following behind her. "This process is too slow! Should have known better then to thrust this contraption by Scrozzle! Where is that rusty bucket of bolts anyway?" She slammed her staff on the concert floor. "Scrozzle!"

In the past it was always Finster who always came running, but this time it was the robotic refuge instead.

"Yes, my queen?" He asked.

"Your device is too slow and I need results fast!" The robotic Witch yelled.

The beast shivered before he scurrying to the machine to look it over. "The machine was designed to drain the grid energies from Rangers but the Rangers are resisting the process."

Robo Rita growled impatiently. "How do I speed this up?"

"Maybe if you had more Rangers? There must be nearly a hundred of them on Earth, only." Scrozzle meekly suggested.

Robot Rita perked up. "Excellent idea … I see why I keep you around."

"I aim to please my queen." The beast bows.

"I can round the lambs up for slaughter!" Snizzard offered.

"Not unless we can find them." Scrozzle scuffed, before turning to Minotaur. "But maybe with some adjustments, it will be your time to shine!"

"Explain, tinkerer." Minotaur huffed.

"I can augment you with scanners to detect spikes in grid energy. Once the Rangers morph, you will be able to zone in on their location and sneak in on them."

"Why not me?" Snizzard complained.

"You already have the dual purpose of paralyzing the Rangers and keeping them in their current state, enabling the machine to drain their powers. Any more adjustments and we risk compromising your primary objectives."

"There is still the question of making the Rangers morph." Minotaur said.

"Good thing I know exactly what draws out a Power Ranger!" Robo Rita smirks, standing on her balcony and looking towards Planet Earth.

"No T-Rex or Dragonzord power! Ay, ay, ay, ay!" Alpha 5 cried with panic, flaying his arms out as he looks at the sensors. "We will have to scan for something else if we want to find our friends!"

Hayley Ziktor turns to him. "We'll figure something out."

Three teleportation beams coming down had the two turning to see Billy, Anastasia and Zack.

"Ay, ay, ay! Rangers, you're here!" Alpha cried happily, flinging his arms around cheerfully. "Greetings!"

Zack smiled at the little android. While the Rangers themselves have aged, the robot does not change over time like humans do. "If the people upstairs only knew they had the world's smartest robot beneath their feet."

"Still such a charmer. It's good to see you again! Been awhile!" The android said, his robotic voice filled with joy. Alpha then looked at Anastasia who was looking around in awe.

Zack quickly took note. "Anastasia, meet Alpha 5." He introducted, making her turn to him and walk over. "He was Zordon's assenstant. And after his passing, Alpha's been helping Adam at the S.P.A."

"Hello!" Alpha cheerfully greeted.

"Hi." Anastasia greeted with a smile. "Billy and the others speak very fondly of you."

"Aww!" If robots could blush, Alpha 5 would be blushing right now. He then turned his attention back on Zack.

"How is Trini's daughter doing?"

"Oh, Minh has lots of attitude." The black Ranger sighed. "I don't know how Jason does it with two teenagers in the same house. I can barely handle mine, and Billy has his own too. Right Billy?" He and Anastasia turns towards the blue Ranger, who was standing by a console and staring blankly at the computer screens.

Anastasia and Zack look at each other, before she walked up to him. "Billy?" She gently placed a hand on his shoulder. "Honey, are you ok?" She asked gently.

"Yeah." He didn't look at her as he continued to stare at the computer screens. "It's just we haven't been in a mess like this since." He trailed off, sighing heavily he turns back around to face his friends. "Minh is right. It really is my fault that we lost Trini."

"Billy." Anastasia took his arm gently. "Don't let what Minh said, get to you."

"Yeah." Zack agreed. "You were trying to do something good."

"And look what happened." Billy states, turning to the blue energy tube that has a broken diagonal tear in the middle of it.

"What happened?" Anastasia asked, her eyes never leaving the blue tube.

"That's where Zordon was." Alpha answered. "Rita Repulse had trapped him inside that energy tube during one of their battle centuries ago."

Zack smiled a little as a memory suddenly hit him. "After Zordon explained to us what was going on, we still didn't believe him." He said, his eyes never leaving the energy tube.

Billy gave a faint smile. "If memory serves me right." He turns to Zack. "You called him a giant floating head."

Zack laughed fondly. "I did."

Anastasia looked around the room. "What's the plan on stopping that robot and her minions?"

"Robo Rita is a force to be reckoned with." Zack said, the light situation turning back to serious. "And we must make sure she doesn't hurt anyone else."

The alarms then suddenly blared, and everyone turned to the Viewing Screen.

"The Monster Scanner has found something." Alpha points as the image cleared to show putties attacking the citizens. "It's not Rita, it's the putties!"

"It's more then that." Hayley said, looking at the other monitors. "Angel Grove is not her only target this time. It's the entire world!"

"The Bandora Protocol came sooner then expected." Zack said.

"Ay, ay, ay!" Alpha pressed a console as a hologram appeared in front of them, showing a Rita's staff symbol as it circled next to Power Rangers' cities.

"Attention, all Power Ranger teams. Bandora Protocol Initiated!" Alpha announces loudly. "Get to your assigned stations NOW!"

"If I remember the plan correctly, visitors in 3, 2, 1." Zack counted, just as teleportation beams cackled down to reveal Tanya, Katherine and Rocky wearing S.P.A. uniforms.

"We got the distress call." Tanya said. "Pandora Protocol is happening?"

"Robo Rita's back?" Katherine asked.

"Yeah." Zack nods.

"So. Tommy, Jason and Kim are fighting her?" Rocky asked.

"No." Billy wouldn't meet their eyes. "Unfortunately, they've been captured and we need all the help we can get."

Instantly, Kat placed her right hand over her heart, while her other hand covered her mouth. Both Rocky and Tanya placed a comforting hand on either of Kat's shoulders.
