Chapter 68: Ranger Reunion
At Angel Grove park, Jason, Kat and Kimberly's car pulled up to a parking spot. "I can't believe that after all these years, we'll be seeing each other again," Kimberly said with a smile as they exit the car.
"I know," Kat said, "I can't wait to see what everyone has been doing all these years."
Then they heard a horn honking at them and they turned to see Adam pull up in his car. "Hey guys," he greeted as he got out of his car, "Are the others here?"
"We were about to go see," Jason said as he lead the three other older Rangers into the park.
Soon they saw a large group of people near the picnic area and recognized them. They saw Billy, Zack, Rocky, Aisha, Tanya, T.J., Justin, Carlos, Ashley, Cassie, Zhane Andros, and his sister Karone. They saw that their friends didn't change that much but the only one who changed the most was Justin since he was a kid when he became a Power Ranger.
"Hey there they are," Aisha pointed out making the rest of the older Rangers turn to see Jason, Kat, Kim, and Adam.
"Hey Aisha," Kimberly greeted as she hugged her friend.
"Hey Adam," Rocky greeted Adam with a handshake, "Long time no see."
"I can say the same," Adam replied.
"Did any of you see Tommy?" Billy asked.
"Sorry no," Kat replied, "Is he coming?"
"We don't know," Zack said, "I left him a message and he never called back."
"Well the only thing we can do now is wait and see," Jason said as the Rangers started to mingle amongst each other.
"So I hear that you three are mentors for a new team of Power Rangers," Aisha said to Kimberly.
"Yeah we are the mentors of the Jewel Rangers," Kim replied, "But today we are giving them a day off."
"By the way," Billy started, "Do you know anything about Trey coming to Earth?"
"No we did not hear anything about that," Kim replied, "He must be with the other team."
"The other team?" Justin said, "You mean the ones in Ohio?"
"Yep," Kim chirped, "If anywhere he would be safe it with them."
"And why's that?" Cassie asked joining the conversation.
Kimberly turned to Jason, "Should we tell them?" she asked.
"About what?" T.J. asked.
"Might as well," Jason said.
"What's going on?" Zhane said.
"Well the thing is, Zordon is back," Jason told and the rest of the former Rangers were surprised.
"That's impossible," Andros said, "Zordon sacrificed himself to stop the Alliance of Evil."
"I know it's hard to believe but Zordon is back and he is the mentor for the team in Ohio," Kat added.
"I believe it," a familiar voice said. Everyone turned to see Tommy.
"Hey Tommy, where were you?" Jason asked.
"Sorry for being late," Tommy replied as he shook Jason's hand, "There was bad traffic on the way here. So Zordon is back."
"Yeah, I've seen him too," Adam said.
"That's great, maybe we should go to the Command Center a see him," Tommy suggested.
"Like I'll let you go to Zordon," Sharktor said as he appeared in front of the older Rangers.
The former Rangers got ready to fight as Carlos demanded, "Who are you?"
"I am Sharktor, a general who once served the Emperor of the Dark Waters, Hydro Hog," he introduced himself, "And I'm here for my revenge."
"You think you can handle a bunch of Power Rangers?" Adam said.
"Well unfortunately for you," Sharktor started as two metallic balls appeared in his hands, "I have the right foot soldiers to take care of you."
Sharktor tossed the balls at the Rangers and a large group of Krybot appeared.
"Krybots!" Andros shouted.
"You know about them?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah, they are illegal weapons that is being sold around the galaxy," Karone explained.
"Let show this guy what Rangers can really do," Tommy said.
"Right!" all the Rangers shouted as the Krybots charged at them.
Sharktor watch as the older Rangers fought his Krybots and taking a few of them down. Tommy was able to get out the fight with the Krybots and faced Sharktor, "Your mine!" he said.
"Oh, please you are not strong enough without your powers Tommy," Sharktor stated.
"Well we'll hold you off until the active team comes by," Tommy said as he jumped into the air and was about to kick Sharktor until he was knocked down by something.
"Don't try to fight us Ranger," a new voice said.
Tommy recognized the voice, "It can't be Cole destroyed you." Tommy looked up to see a robot in black armor with a large red glass on his abdomen, a pair of antenna on his head, and a claw on his right arm, "General Venjix, how did you return?"
"I don't need to explain anything to you," Venjix said as he grabbed Tommy and wrapped his arm around his neck., "Rangers you better stop or I'll kill Tommy!" Venjix shouted. The other older Rangers stopped when they saw Venjix holding Tommy hostage, "Now that I got you attention, I want you to give what I want."
"What do you want?" Tommy gasped.
"I want the Dragon Dagger," Venjix replied.
At Boardman High, the students were getting out for spring break. "Finally we have spring break," Tyler said as the Rangers were on their way to the exit.
"Yeah a time to relax before we go to New York City," Paige said.
"So your aunt and uncle don't mind us coming to their house?" Emile asked Z.
"Yeah they don't mind," Z replied, "Besides we'll be in the city most of time as well."
"I wish I could join you guys on the early trip," Aref said, "But we can meet in the city."
As if on cue the Communicators went off as soon as the Rangers reached the door. "Nice way to start spring break then by foiling another plan of Zedd and Rita," Jon sarcastically said as the Rangers went to their usual spot and answered the Communicator.
"Rangers you need to go to Angel Grove," Zordon said, "The Rangers that came before you are in danger."
"We're on our way," Tyler said as the Rangers teleported away.
Back in Angel Grove park, the current Rangers arrived to see Tommy being strangled by Venjix. "Okay, it not Zedd and Rita like I thought," Jon said.
"Come on guys, we need to free him," Tyler said.
"I got it," Haley said as she ran as fast as she could to Venjix. Sharktor saw her coming but couldn't say anything when Haley jumped into the air and kicked Venjix in the back, who let go of Tommy.
"What are you kids doing?" Rocky shouted, "Get out of here!"
"Relax Rocky," Adam said, "They can handle themselves."
"Venjix, Sharktor, and the Krybots turned their attention to the younger Rangers. "How dare you humans attack someone like me," Venjix said, "Do you know who I am?"
"Of course we do Venjix, and now we are going to show you whose boss," Tyler replied, "It's Morphin Time!"
"Shadow!"
"Turtle!"
"Phoenix!"
"Frog!"
"Serpent!"
"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"
"Lion!"
"Dragon!"
"Gold Ranger Power!"
The older Rangers, minus the four that already know, were surprised to see that the teen in front of them were the Power Rangers. "So those are the Rangers from Ohio," Tommy said.
"Yep, now we should leave the fighting to them," Jason said.
The young Rangers got their weapons out and charged at the Krybots.
Tyler and Z used their swords and cut right though any Krybots that they passed.
Haley jumped into the air and tossed her daggers at the Krybots piercing their heads.
Chris stabbed his lance into the ground and span around kicking any Krybot that got close to him.
Emile used his ax to chop off the heads of the Krybots.
Brittany fired arrows at the Krybots and Jon fired his guns leave large holes in the Krybots.
Paige lashed her whip at the Krybot's leg and used its body to bash it into other Krybots.
Aref rushed through the Krybots with the staff in front and fired small balls of energy at the Krybots.
Soon all the Krybots had been defeated. "Okay Venjix, it's your and Sharktor's turn!" Tyler said as they got ready to fight the two generals.
"You are not ready to fight a being of my caliber," Venjix said as he fire beams from his hand at the Rangers. The attack caused an explosion that knocked the Rangers down. "Now I want you to give me what I want. I want you to deliver me the Dragon Dagger and then you must surrender the Gold Ranger. You have one hour and if you don't give in to my demands, I'll destroy Angel Grove."
Venjix and Sharktor turned into a ball of yellow energy and flew away.
"Damn, they got away," Tyler said, "Let's power down."
"Right," the other Rangers said before they demorphed.
"You guys okay?" Tyler asked as they approached the older Rangers.
"Yeah we're fine," Kimberly replied.
"So why is Venjix is after the Dragon Dagger?" Paige asked, "I thought Billy recycled the Dragonzord to make new Zords."
"Actually Zordon wanted the Dragonzord, Titanus, and Tor to remain on Earth just in ase if something happened," Billy explained.
"Yeah and Zordon had me hid the Dragon Dagger as well," Tommy added.
"Then let's go to the Command Center and plan our next move," Tyler said as he got the Communicator out, "Alpha, teleport us to the Command Center."
"I'm on it," Alpha replied. Then all the Rangers teleported out of there.
The Rangers arrived to the familiar surroundings. "Greetings Rangers," Alpha greeted, "It's great to see you again."
"Alpha!" Aisha said, "How did you come back."
"We will explain everything later," Zordon said as he appeared in his tube, "Hello again my friends. Sorry that we have no time for talking, we need to keep Venjix from obtaining the Dragon Dagger."
"Don't worry Zordon, I have a good place for the dagger," Tommy turned to a panel, "I'm going to go and retrieve it."
"Jon, Brittany, and I will join you," Tyler said, "We don't know if Venjix or Sharktor would send scouts to keep an eye on you."
"Good idea," Tommy said as he pressed a button and the four of them teleported.

They arrived at suburban neighborhood, which surprised the young Ranger. "You hid the Dagger here?" Brittany asked.
"Actually, I didn't hid it," Tommy said, "I gave it to a friend and he hid it."
Tommy walked down the sidewalk with the young Rangers following behind. Soon they walked to a small red house and Tommy knocked on the door and a large bald man answered the door. "Tommy, long time no see," he greeted.
"Hey Bulk," Tommy said as he shook Bulk's hand, "Great to see you again. But I'm not here for small talk, do you still have the box I gave you."
"Yeah I still have it," Bulk said, and then he noticed the three teens, "Are those the new… you know?"
"Yeah they're Rangers," Tommy replied confusing the Rangers.
"He knows that you were a Ranger?" Jon asked.
"Well after the Space Rangers, Skull and I were able to connect the dots back to Tommy and the others," Bulk explained as he led the Rangers to the backyard and went to a tiki, "Here it is," Bulk said as he knocked on the head of the tiki and the mouth opened up and a black box with a electronic lock on the side and he gave it to Tommy, "And here you go."
"Thanks," Tommy said as he placed his thumb on the electronic lock and the box opened and inside was the Dragon Dagger. "Here it is, the only thing that can command the Dragonzord.
Then a wave of energy hit nearby causing a large explosion that knock the Rangers and their friend to the ground and making Tommy drop the Dragon Dagger. "I knew that following you three would lead me to the Dragon Dagger," Sharktor said as he picked the dagger up.
"Give that back!" Tyler demanded.
"If you want it Ranger then take it from me," Sharktor said as he ran into the woods.
"Tommy take Bulk away, we'll take care of Sharktor," Tyler said as the three Rangers chased the ex-general. "It's Morphin Time!"
"Phoenix!"
"Lion!"
"Dragon!"
As the three Rangers followed the Sharktor, the rest of the team teleported in, and soon the caught up to Sharktor who had his sword in one hand and the Dragon Dagger in the other. "Time for your defeat Rangers," Sharktor said as he got ready to fight.
The Rangers charged in at Sharktor with their javelins out.
The Dragon Dagger started to glow green before he fired a beam that hit Emile and Z.
Jon and Chris jumped into the air and tried to stab Sharktor. But he blocked the two's attack and hit them away with the Dragon Dagger.
Paige and Brittany fired their Blasters at Sharktor, hitting him, but did little damage.
Tyler and Haley took this chance to stab Sharktor. "Sorry Rangers," Sharktor said as he delfected the javelins, " But I won't fall that easily."
"Nothing is working on this guy," Z pointed out.
"But there is still one more thing that we could use," Tyler said, "Let's bring them together."
"Power Axe!" Emile tossed his axe in the air.
"Power Bow!" Brittany tossed her bow and it became one with the Power Axe.
"Power Whip!" Paige tossed her whip and it attached to the bottom of the Power Axe
"Power Lance!" Chris broke his lance into two smaller ones that attached to the bottom of the Power Bow.
"Power Daggers!" Haley tossed the Dagger that attached next the Power Lance.
"Power Guns!" Jon tossed his guns and they attached to the top of the Power Bow.
"Power Sword!" Tyler jumped up and grabbed the blaster and placed his sword on the top. When he landed the other Ranger lined up by his side.
"Try your luck," Sharktor said as he got ready for the attack.
Z was charging the Dark Power in his hands while Aref charged up the Power Staff.
"Power Rangers fire!" they shouted as they fired seven beams in their seven colors at Sharktor, while Z fired a ball of darkness at the general and Aref fired energy balls as well.
Sharktor tried to block the energy attack with his sword but it was too much for the sword and it broke and all the energy hit Sharktor head on.
Sharktor was brought to his knees form the attack and was gasping for air. "You may have beaten me, but you haven't won yet," Sharktor said as he stood back up, "Venjix will have Dragonzord, the Gold Ranger Power, and Serpentera. You'll never win Power Rangers!" Sharktor then used his might to toss the Dragon Dagger as far as he could. "Venjix will win and you will all die!" Sharktor shouted as he started laugh and he fell over and explode leaving an echo of his laugh.
"Come on guys, we need to get the Dragon Dagger back," Tyler said as the Rangers rushed through the woods.
In another part of the woods, the Dragon Dagger landed near Venjix and his Cogs. "So Sharktor succeeded in getting the Dragon Dagger me," he said to the Cogs. Venjix picked up the dagger and turned to the Cog, "Now let us avenge King Mondo!"
