A/N2: Although the update day is wednesday I'll post this now because I've finally finished Chapter 5.

Chapter 3: Zordon's plan.

The next day

Justin's house

7 AM

The doorbell rang. Tommy, who was sleeping on the couch and thus closest to the door, stood up to open the door. "We don't buy at the door." He said still half-asleep before noticing the Astro-Megaship and a couple of cars. "Eh … Tommy … did we wake you, bro?" Jason asked mocking. "You guys are pretty early. I'll go wake up the others I'll be right back in the meantime … come in." Tommy said waking up fully. Tommy went up to the living room and woke up Conner, Ethan and Trent, then he went up to wake up Justin, Kim, Kat, Aïsha, Hayley and Kira. "Hey Justin there's somebody here to see you." Tommy said to Justin. Justin came out of his room just in time to hear a loud scream and see Tommy flying through the hallway and duck out of the way. "Never heard of knocking?" Kira said angrily tying her bathrobe. "What the hell is that noise?" A sleepy Hayley said coming out of the room on the opposite side of Justin's room and the same happened in two other rooms. "Kira! Are you okay?" Trent said running up the stairs. "Yeah, I'm fine but Dr. O on the other hand." Kira replied lightning up a little bit. "What happened to him?" Conner asked. "Oh … not much … he entered my room without knocking." Kira answered. "So … why did you Ptera-Screamed him?" Ethan asked. "Well seeming I forgot my nightgown so you can figure out the rest yourself I guess." Kira said. "Ah … I see … well, I'll see to it that he wakes up. You guys get dressed already." Hayley said.

Fifteen minutes later

Justin's living room

"Everybody is here I presume?" Justin asked. "So when will you contact the Alphas?" Rocky asked impatiently. "Right now. Alpha, can you hear me?" Justin asked through the communicator. "Loud and clear, Justin." Alpha 5's voice came through the communicator. "So what do we do now, Alpha?" Justin asked. "All the rangers have to come over to the Command Center Ruins. But we can't teleport you so you'll have to get here yourself." Alpha 6 replied. "Will do Alpha." Justin said turning of the communicator. "Well you heard them let's go." Tommy said. "I'll go in the Radbug." Billy said. "Just make sure you get there and that is all we need." Rocky said as if he didn't care.

One hour later

Command Center Ruins

The Astro-Megaship and the Radbug landed on the plateau next to the ruins of the old Command Center, followed by a big group of cars. Everybody got out of their vehicle and walked over to the Ruins. "Oh my god!" A couple of ex-rangers who hadn't seen the wreckage yet said seeing the ruins. "Well were here. Now what do we do?" Adam asked. Suddenly a lid opened 2 meters from his feet. "I guess we go down there." Carlos said. After the rangers went down the stairs, the pieces of the Command Center start to come back together (just like in "a Zeo Beginning: part 1").

Beneath the Command Center Ruins

"So where to now?" Conner asked. "Go to the vortex that the Zeo rangers stepped into before they received they're Zeo powers." Alpha's voice echoed through the tunnels. "Vortex? What vortex?" A couple of pre-Zeo rangers asked. "Follow me." Tommy replied walking ahead. A few minutes later they arrived at a solid metal door with a green glow behind it. "That vortex." Tommy said as the door opened. "Wow! Like totally cool. Like there is no videogame with such a cool thing in it." Ethan said enthusiastic deserving glances from everybody else, "Well it's the truth." He exclaimed. "Dude … life is no videogame." Conner said tapping him on the shoulder and walking forward. "So, we have to go through there?" Conner asked to Tommy. "Yep, don't worry everybody, it's just like being teleported and if you haven't been teleported yet … then it's just like riding a roller coaster only with a lot more speed." Tommy said to everybody, "Let me demonstrate." He continued, "You just walk right into it." And he walked into it and disappeared. Then all the rangers started slowly going towards the vortex (except for the Zeo rangers who already went through the vortex once and demonstrated it 5 more times.) the other rangers then all went through it some alone others in groups of two, three, or four.

The new Power Chamber

"Welcome rangers." Alpha greeted them as they appeared out of nothing. "Alpha!" the rangers who knew the Alpha's yelled. "Rangers there is an evil on the loose like you've never seen before." Alpha 5 said coming straight to the point. "Does it have anything to do with Ian Ooze?" Tommy asked. "Yes it has, Tommy. You were the one who fought him, isn't it?" Alpha said. "Wait a minute … who the heck is Ian Ooze?" Kimberly interrupted them. "Ian is the son of Ivan Ooze." Tommy said. "Say what?!" Rocky exclaimed. "Now rangers you will have all the time to discuss this when you are on you're way to the places you need to go." Alpha 6 said. "What do you mean?" Billy asked. "All of you need your powers back. It is the only way Ian can be defeated." Alpha 5 said. "But we injured him pretty badly with the Z-Rex Blaster." Conner said. "Yes, but then he was still weak." Alpha 6 said. "We will clone a couple of ex-rangers to have more rangers. Hey … where is Trini?" Alpha 5 asked. The ones who knew Trini suddenly looked down trying to fight back the tears. "She … she died … a couple of years back … she had a deadly car accident." Zack said being the last one who saw her before she died. "Oh … I am so sorry rangers." Alpha 5 said. "But we can't bring her back. We need some DNA of a couple of you. We will need DNA of the following ex-rangers: Adam, Rocky and Tommy. You can then go but be here tomorrow at 09:00 hours." Alpha 6 said. All of the Lightspeed Rangers looked at Joel. "That is 9 AM, right?" He asked. "Ah, Joel … you're finally starting to learn." Chad said with a smile and then they all left for they're sleeping place.

That night

The moonpalace of Rita and Zedd

"Ah … that feels a lot better." Ian Ooze said standing up from his throne after having healed himself. "Let's look around the castle." He said to three of his tengu warriors. While walking through the castle they suddenly saw five holes in the ceiling, outer walls and five more in the floor. "Let's take a look down there." Ian said. They descended through the holes (Ian as a big blob of ooze) and found a group of multicolored robots. "Ah … look what we have hear … five loyal servants." Ooze grins before he starts laughing maniacally.
