It took a lot to make all five males of Team One speechless at the same time, but what Tommy had just shown the five was one of those things. Tommy and Kimberly had their own mini command center in their basement, hidden from the rest of the world. On the wall across from the entrance was a display for replica Power Ranger uniforms from each ranger Tommy and Kimberly had been. The wall to the right of the entrance had multiple pictures of Tommy and Kim with their Ranger teammates during their time as rangers. These pictures featured them and their friends in uniform, hence why they were in the mini command center instead of in the rest of the house like other pictures with their ranger teammates. To the left of the entrance was a massive computer and screens. The center of the room featured Tommy and Kim's tribute to their mentor, Zordon. The main piece was smaller replica of Zordon's tube from the Command Center/Power Chamber. The base that the tube sat on featured a message that said in memory of our mentor Zordon, you are deeply missed and always in our minds, may the power protect you, and live on forever.
"I don't think I've ever seen you five all speechless at the same time" Tommy said with a chuckle.
"Can you blame us man" Sam responded as Tommy couldn't help but to nod in agreement. "No it's about what I expected" he added.
"This place is amazing" Spike said looking around the place, especially at the massive computer.
"And this is nothing; one of our former teammates who mentored his own team has a place like this the size of our whole basement" Tommy said as the five continued to look around in disbelief.
"I would love to see that place" Raf said.
"Oh you will" Tommy responded with a smile.
"What do you mean we will" Greg asked.
"Because it's time for a history lesson" Tommy answered as he grabbed some chairs for the five to sit in and then put a DVD into the computer.
On Master Vile's Ship
Kimberly was a wreck as she sat alone in the cage she was imprisoned in. She couldn't believe the depths that Vile and Scorpina would go to get rid of her and Tommy. Disguising Scorpina as the one human who she hated more than Rita, Zedd, Rito, Scorpina, and Goldar combined just to capture her, and not only that putting innocent people in Toronto and her own team in the line of fire. Kim wasn't surprised though, she remembered what Scorpina did to Adam, and Tommy told her all the stories about Master Vile, and they made her cringe. She couldn't believe any villain from that time had survived Zordan's wave. Her, Tommy, and all the Rangers to serve under Zordon thought it had cleared the universes and galaxies of all villains that had attacked during the "Zordon era" if you will, but it appeared they all were mistaken. What really scared Kim was the fact that none of them had any powers. Kim remembered Tommy going on the Forever Red mission, and the others back in California told them both of Adam and the Once a Ranger mission with the Operation Overdrive team, but the powers from those special missions were just temporary.
Something weird then happened that brought Kim out of her thoughts. Master Vile ship's stopped moving. There were no windows in her cell or in the area around it so she couldn't see what was going on. A light then shined in the room as Scorpina entered the dungeon to see their prisoner and inform her of why they stopped.
"Let's go Kimmy" Scorpina scowled as she opened the cell and pulled Kim out with force.
"No need to be forceful I have no other choice right now, plus that hurts" Kim responded.
"Good" Scorpina answered with a wicked smile.
"Where are we anyways, why did the ship stop" Kim asked.
"Someplace you are very familiar with from your past" is all Scorpina said as she lead Kimberly through the ship and to the main doors where Master Vile awaited, along with his hench creatures, which Kim remembered from her days with as a Rangers.
"The bird brains, really, couldn't you have at least settled for those clay brain putties" Kim said when she saw the Tengas with Vile.
"Only an idiot like that former son-in-law of mine would create a hench creature which has a target to defeat it right on its chest" Vile said, detest in his voice for even having to think about Lord Zedd thanks to Kim.
"Let you trust something Rito brought" Kim responded with a laugh as she thought of Vile's idiot son.
"He may have brought them but I created them, and made them stronger than ever with a special feed. After they got their new food your little Ranger friends had to get their shiny little armor to even hang with my Tengas" Vile answered. "And there is no metallic armor or powers to save you or your friends now my dear" Vile added with an evil laugh.
"We'll find a way, we always do" was Kimberly's defiant answer.
"Enough out of you, it's time to take you to your new prison" Vile said as everyone on the ship proceeded to disembark it. What Kimberly then saw shocked her even more.
"I may have hated my son-in-law as much as I hated you Rangers, but he did do one thing right here on your own moon" Vile said as they all looked up at Lord Zedd's former palace.
"Welcome to your new home" Scorpina said with an evil grin in Kim's ear as the group entered the former Emperor of Evil's base.
Back in Toronto
"So there it is our history as Power Ranger" Tommy said to the five as the famous Legacy of Power video concluded. Tommy only showed the Zordon era along with Dino Thunder since they had learned about Billy as a ranger. All of Zordon's rangers and the Dino Thunder team knew it wasn't their place to reveal the identity of the other teams not from Angel Grove or Reefside unless one of them became a part of a mission with one of Zordon's rangers of Billy's rangers.
Again the five men were silent, still in shocked from everything they had just learned. It was Ed who was finally the first to speak.
"So we have had a former Power Ranger as a teammate this whole time" was all Ed said. "My respect for Jules, I mean Kim, just went through the roof, and it was already there" he added as the other four nodded in agreement.
"How have you guys been able to keep this secret so long" Greg asked.
"That may be the only thing harder then actually fighting the villains" Tommy answered. "For all of us not being able to tell our parents was the hardest. We all finally did after the Space Rangers revealed themselves right before Zordon's wave destroyed all the villains from that time, since our parents recognized TJ, Cassie, Ashley, and Carlo" he added.
"If all the villains were destroyed then how is the one who kidnapped Kim is still around" Raf asked.
"I wish I knew the answer to that question, of that final battle there is only footage of the villains on Earth being destroyed, and from Rangers around the universe we never got full reports of what villains were where because there were so many, asides from the main ones like Rita, Zedd, Divatox, and the Machine Empire. We all thought Scorpina was gone like the rest, unfortunately it looks like we were wrong" Tommy said.
"Do any of you have any powers left" Sam then asked.
"Sadly no, all our permanent powers were either destroyed or have gone extinct" Tommy answered, wishing the extinct wasn't the case as the Zeo Power hadn't been destroyed. He could use it then and there if it hadn't extricated.
"What about temporary powers" Spike asked.
The news of Kim being captured and then showing the five the Ranger history had made Tommy somehow forget about the possibility. The light bulb went off though after Spike said that.
"You're a genius Spike" Tommy said excitedly, as he now knew there was a chance. He then ran out of the mini lair and back into the house for a second.
"See I told you guys I was a genius, and you didn't believe me" Spike said with a smile as the others could only shake their heads as Tommy ran back into liar, cell phone in hand.
"So how is Spike a genius" Greg asked when Tommy returned.
"Because temporary power is possible, and Spike reminded me of it" Tommy answered. "I just have to contact a friend from California you just learned about" Tommy answered as he went to the B's in his contacts.
Reefside, California
Billy and Hayley were so excited that Tommy and Kim would be there in just a week. Of those in the group they had the biggest house so the two would be staying with them. It had been far too long since they had seen their friends; it had been Tommy and Kim's gradation. This was the last time their entire group had been together as well. Those in California were still as close as ever and would hangout whenever possible. A special occasion brought the whole group together, but with two of their friends in Canada it was always like something was missing, and everyone understood why they couldn't be there. Some had even gone to Canada to visit Tommy and Kim, but it still had been far too long since the either group was together. Hayley was especially excited to spend more time with Tommy and Kim in person because their graduation was the first time Hayley had met the famed couple in the group. She also couldn't wait for the two to meet the Dino Thunder Rangers.
"Good news Billy I have Tommy and Kim's room all ready for them to get here" Hayley said as she entered the former Dino Thunder liar that had been restored after Zeltrax destroyed it.
Billy was about to respond when his cell phone went off, it was Tommy.
"Speak of the devil" Billy said with a smile before showing Hayley it was Tommy and then answering.
Aside from a hello to start the conversation Billy didn't say anything else during the conversation. He didn't need to say anything though as Hayley could tell something was wrong from his facial expressions. He was so shocked by the news that he even turned a little pale as the conversation came to an end.
"Billy what's wrong" Hayley asked as soon as he ended the called. "I could tell by your facial expressions and you even started getting pale."
"I have to go to Canada" was all Billy said.
"Why Billy, Tommy and Kim will be here in a week" Hayley responded.
"Scorpina is back, and she captured Kim" Billy answered to the shock of Hayley.
Moon Palace
"Welcome to your new home miss" Scorpina said as she shoved Kimberly into the moon palace's prison cell.
"Tommy will get a hold of the rest of our friends and find a way to stop this no matter what it takes" Kimberly screamed at Scorpina and Vile.
"They can try all they want and nothing will work, we are more powerful than ever, and all of you are powerless" Vile said, laughing at Kim's previous statement.
"You two will not get away with this" Kim said angrily.
All Vile and Scorpina did was laugh at this.
"Quiet laughing you pieces of crap" Kim said with even more anger in her voice.
"We can't help it, you said you two will not get away with this" Scorpina said.
"And why is that funny" Kim asked.
"Because my dear, there are more than two of us behind this" Vile said with the evilest of laughs, gesturing off to an area that she couldn't see because it started to filling with smoke.
Kim coughed and coughed as the smoke entered the cell. It did finally clear, and once it did Kim was again in utter shock, so much so that she turned pale as she tripped over her own feet and fell down to the ground of the cell. It was like she had seen a ghost from her past. Well three ghosts from her past to be more accurate.
Rita
Rito
Goldar
"Hello Kimmy" all three said at once.
A/N: I'm back, I did not forget about this story. Thank you do those who reviewed and followed/favorited the story the past few days, it was the motivation I needed to get back to writing this one. I will try my best to keep the updates coming; I just need the free time since I have the motivation back.
Jasonstoneface is doing his own version of my story Power Rangers on Deck (check it out when you get a chance) and he brought back villains we saw destroyed in Countdown to Destruction to I figured I would take that route too as it's something I don't really do (hence why I use Vile and Scorpina so much as villains in post CTD stories). I will explain how all three are still around in chapter 5, plus Team One will meet Billy and some other former Rangers as they start making their plans to rescue Kim.
