The Jessica Hartgrove Series: MMPR- An Alternate Scenario
by
hollytiger
Summary: Rated M. Some people have been asking me for fifteen years, "What if Jessica had stayed in Stone Canyon and told Rocky about being pregnant with Lexie?" "Also, how would Master Vile reversing the Earth's rotation affect her?" "What would her Ninja Powers be?" "Does Jessica go on the Zeo quest or do her powers stay the same?" "Also, what if Jill hadn't been kidnapped?" Those questions and more in this alternate universe companion fic to the Jessica Hartgrove series. Believe it or not, this was my original concept before the start of Zeo. This starts around The Ninja Encounter episode. Some context and dialouge from the episodes will be in the fic.
Chapter 1
The Ninja Encounter
It was a beautiful day in Angel Grove Park. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, birds were chirping. People were out and about enjoying the weather. Under an oak tree, six teenagers were having a picnic and watching a portable TV. These six teenagers held a deep secret. No one knew who they truly were.
"It's so gorgeous today," said sixteen year old Kimberly Hart. "We should do this every Saturday."
"I concur," said sixteen year-old Billy Cranston. A rock video came on MTV.
"Oh I love this song!" cried Kim.
"Yeah, what a great way to spend a Saturday in the park with good music, good food, and good friends," said sixteen year-year old Tommy Oliver.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the park, four teenagers, two boys and two girls, were rollerblading laps in the park. One of the boys was of Korean descent, the other was half-Hispanic, half-White while their female companions were African-American and White respectively. The White girl was actually pushing a purple stroller and rollerblading at the same time. As they were rollerblading, they came across their teacher, who was also pushing a stroller.
"Hey Mr. Anderson," said the girl pushing the stroller. The group came to a stop next to him.
"Hey you guys," said Mr. Anderson. "Hi Lexie!"
"Hi!" said the little girl as Mr. Anderson waved to the sixteen-month old in the purple stroller. "Look Jacob, say hi to Lexie!"
The little boy Jacob just stared at Lexie, who was blowing him kisses and the teens laughed.
"Yeah. He's not interested, but someone has a crush," said the half-Hispanic boy. "Sorry Princess, not until you're both sixteen."
The girl pushing Lexie playfully slapped him in the ribs.
"Sounds like someone's in protective dad mode already," said Mr. Anderson.
"He sure is," grinned the girl with Lexie.
"See ya on our next lap around?" asked the other girl.
"Sure thing," said Mr. Anderson. They said goodbye and continued their skating.
Back under the oak tree, the six teens were watching the news, where the announcer was talking about the upcoming Ninja competition. They were excited for it.
Meanwhile, somewhere up on the Moon, Lord Zedd was plotting his next move to defeat the Power Rangers.
"Ahh, a Ninja competition. This will give me a chance to select an elite squad to defeat the Power Rangers!"
A short time later, the six teens under the oak tree had split up, parting ways, when all of a sudden Kim, Tommy, and Billy heard a cry for help.
"Stop that carriage!" cried a man's voice. They turned to see a runaway stroller and the three gasped.
"Oh no!" cried Kim.
"We gotta stop that carriage!" said Tommy as the three teens took off running after it. On the other side of the path, the four rollerblading teens had also seen the stroller rolling away.
"Oh no! Jacob!" cried Lexie's mom.
"Let's move!" said one of the boys. The four started skating after the carriage as well, Lexie's mother avoiding the grass and staying on the concrete. They chased after the carriage and the seven teens and Mr. Anderson closed in on the carriage as it neared a cliff. Kim and the two girls on rollerblades gasped as Lexie's mom parked her stroller next to her dad. Kim ran and flipped in the air, while the two boys on rollerblades gave the other two girls a boost.
"Hiyah!" the three girls cried. They landed in front of the stroller and were able to stop it just before it could fall off the cliff.
"Hey, gotcha Jake," said Lexie's mom. Kim reached down and picked Jacob out.
"Yeah, we gotcha, didn't we?" cooed Kim. "Hi," Kim said to the other two girls.
"Hi," they replied.
"I'm so glad he's alright," commented the African-American girl.
"Me too," said Lexie's mom as the others came up to them.
"Man, those were some awesome moves, you guys," said Tommy as Mr. Anderson came running up behind them.
"Jacob," Mr. Anderson breathed as Kim handed Jacob to him. "How can I ever thank you?"
"I'm just glad we got here in time," said Kim.
"Yeah, that was truly awesome," said Lexie's dad.
"Those were some sweet moves on those skates, you guys," said Tommy. "Oh, I'm Tommy, this is Kimberly, and that's my friend Billy.
"Hi I'm Rocky," said Lexie's dad.
"Aisha," said the African-American girl.
"Adam," said the Korean boy.
"And I'm Jessica, but you can call me Jess or Jessie," said Lexie's mom as she returned to the group with Lexie in tow. "And this is Lexie."
"Hi Lexie," cooed Kim. "She's yours?"
"Yeah, mine and Rocky's," said Jessica. "She was really a surprise since we used protection."
"Hi cutie," said Tommy, tickling Lexie and earning a giggle.
"Hank Anderson," said Mr. Anderson. "And this little daredevil is my son, Jacob."
The group heard cried of "The Baby! The Baby!" and they turned to see that Farkus Bulkmeier and Eugene Skullovich had also been in the chase for Jacob. The group laughed as the two pranksters sat down helplessly at the picnic tables.
"Well I think Jacob and I have had enough excitement for one day," said Mr. Anderson. "We'll see you all later."
"Bye!" chorused the group as they joined Bulk and Skull at the picnic tables.
"So, how do you know Mr. Anderson?' asked Billy.
"He's a teacher at Stone Canyon High," said Jessica. "He's absolutely the best. I take Lexie to school with me and he and the other teachers absolutely adore her. Lexie and Jacob have play dates together, sometimes even at school if Mr. A can't find a sitter. Rocky's afraid they will date young." The group laughed as Rocky turned bright red.
"Oh, Stone Canyon High, huh?" asked Tommy. "You guys going to the Ninja Competition?"
"Uh, yeah, you could say that," said Adam.
"Excellent, I guess we'll see you there then," said Billy.
"You bet," said Rocky. "We'll catch ya later!"
Tommy, Kim, and Billy waved goodbye and left, while Aisha, Rocky, Adam, and Jessica just grinned at each other.
"Ladies and gentleman!" cried the announcer. "You are about to witness, the final competition, for the Great Ninja Title!"
The crowd cheered as four competitors stood on one side of the ring, while four more stood on the other side.
"On the right side of the ring, the reigning champions from Hasper City!"
"Yes! Alright!" cried Bulk and Skull as they sat next to Mr. Anderson, Jacob, and to Tommy, Billy, and Kim's confusement, Lexie.
"On my left side, the challengers from Stone Canyon!" continued the announcer.
"Whoohoo!" cried Kim as the eight compeitiors gathered in the middle of the ring.
"Hope you made out a will," said one of the Hasper City Ninjas.
"Yeah, you better say your prayers," said a second Hasper Ninja.
"Let the competition begin!" said the announcer. The announcer moved out of the way for the referee as the first two sparrers came to the center. They both turned to the ref and bowed, and then turned and bowed to each other. The ref signaled and the competition began.
The first Stone Canyon ninja had a bit of trouble against their competitor but Hasper City played dirty, while Stone Canyon was obviously playing clean. The crowd oohed and ahhed as the first ninja back-flipped and literally froze in mid-air post flip, before kicking the Hasper City ninja to the ground.
The next two Stone Canyon ninjas fought just as clean, but Hasper City was still fighting dirty.
"Fighting clean is the winning solution," Billy said Kim when she complained about Hasper's fighting methods.
As the fourth and last competitors finished up their single fights, the groups started to fight in the group combat portion. The bell dinged a few moments later, signaling the end of the competition.
"The judges have made their decision," said the announcer. "The match and the title, go to the challenger!"
There was loud roar of cheers and applause and Mr. Anderson grinned and stood up with Jacob and Lexie.
"The new Ninja champions from Stone County!" cried the announcer as he held up the trophy.
Mr. Anderson turned to Bulk and Skull, handing them each a baby.
"Could you guys hold them for a minute?" he asked. Mr. Anderson turned back to the ring. "Way to go you guys, yeah!"
"Whoo! Way to go you guys!" cried Kim to the Stone Canyon ninjas. While Bulk and Skull looked at the babies oddly, the Stone Canyon Ninjas undid their masks. Tommy, Kim and Billy couldn't believe it. It was Rocky, Adam, Aisha and Jessica!
"Wow!" cried Kim. "No wonder we didn't see them in the crowd and Mr. Anderson has Lexie!"
"Stupendous!" said Billy.
"Amazing!" said Tommy. "Way to go you guys!" Their new friends proudly held the trophy up together.
Awhile later the group stood outside as Mr. Anderson was loading the two babies into his car, while the seven teens loaded up Rocky, Aisha, Adam and Jessica's gear.
"That was awesome you guys," said Tommy.
"Yeah, it was really great to meet y'all," drawled Rocky, side-fiving Tommy.
"We'll have to get together sometime," said Tommy.
"That would be great!" said Jessica. "Hey, next time I'll bring my sister. She's not big on the whole karate/martial arts thing, but she does like computers Billy!"
"That would be superb," said Billy. "I can't wait to meet her!"
"Well, looks wise you won't have to worry about what she looks like because you've already seen her face," grinned Jessica. Kim, Tommy, and Billy raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"She's my mirror twin," grinned Jessica. "We're not actually identical, but we look just the same, except for our hair colors. That's how people tell us apart."
The group laughed as Jessica pulled back her purple-streaked brown-hair and Mr. Anderson came back up to the group.
"Bye Mr. Anderson!" said Kim with a wave.
"Bye Kimberly, and thanks again guys for that heroic rescue," said Mr. Anderson.
"The competition should be over now, Goldar," said Lord Zedd. "Go capture my winning ninjas."
"Sire, the ninjas you chose didn't win," said Goldar.
"What?!" cried Zedd. "I will not settle for second best!"
"I shall capture the Ninjas who won," said Goldar.
"The black ninjas possessed evil qualities," said Zedd. "Who's gonna lure these goody-two-shoes to the Dark Side? You?"
"Yes, me!" said Goldar.
"Why should today be any different? Hmm?" asked Zedd.
"I am so proud of you guys," said Mr. Anderson as he closed the trunk.
"Thanks," the four said.
"Congrats on your impressive win," came a voice and Jessica screamed as the group came face to face with Goldar.
Tommy, Kim and Billy had heard the scream and looked at each other.
"Oh no, Goldar," said Billy. Just then a group of putties appeared.
Goldar, meanwhile, pointed his sword at Aisha, Adam, Rocky and Jessica. Adam, Rocky, and Aisha were pulled in by the magnetic force of his sword, as was Mr. Anderson. To Mr. Anderson, Rocky, Aisha, Adam, and Jessica's surprise, Jessica remained where she stood, unphased by his magnetic draw.
"Impossible!"cried Goldar. "How are you not being drawn in?" He growled.
"Looks like your plan backfired, you big monkey!" cried Jessica. "Get your filty hands off my friends! Sig-Hiyah!" Jessica jumped in the air but before she could hit Goldar in the face, Goldar disappeared.
"NO!" cried Jessica. "No! You arse!"
Meanwhile, Kim, Tommy and Billy had defeated the putties and were running back towards the Youth Center while Bulk and Skull, who had witnessed the whole thing, just creeped in the bushes, amazed at what they had seen.
"Jess!" cried Bulk. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay, thanks Bulk," said Jessica as she checked on Jacob and Lexie. "Man, what was that ugly dude?"
"He's an evil gold monkey, he works for that evil dude the Power Rangers fight!" said Skull.
"Can you guys watch Jacob and Lexie?" asked Jessica. "I need to go report this to the police!"
"Uh, sure," said Bulk a bit terrified as Jessica first handed Jacob to Skull, and then Lexie to Bulk. She put a diaper bag on both their shoulders and pulled out both strollers from the trunk.
"Lexie is weaned off of a bottle. She can have juice and crackers for a snack. And she does talk so she should let you know if she needs something. There's fresh diapers, powder and clothes for both in their bags. Mr. A said that Jacob is still on formula, the directions are on the container."
She leaned over to kiss Lexie's cheek.
"You and Jacob be good for your Uncle Bulk, Lexie. You can trust him, he's a good guy. You can tell him what you need. Thanks you guys, I owe ya one!" said Jessica. "I'll meet you at the park a little later!"
As the two bumbling babysitters strolled away, Tommy, Kim and Billy rushed up to Jessica.
"Jess, are you okay?" asked Kim. "Where's Lexie and Jacob?"
"Yeah I'm okay, but that gold monkey took Mr. A, Rocky, Aisha and Adam," said Jessica. "I put Bulk and Skull on babysitting duty with Jacob and Lexie. What was that thing?"
"His name is Goldar, he works for Lord Zedd, who is trying to take over Earth. The Power Rangers protect the Earth from him," said Billy. Just then, Billy noticed Jessica's necklace. A gold coin dangled on a chain from her neck.
"Jessica, where did you get that coin?" asked Billy.
"This? I've had it since ever I could remember. My sister and I were adopted as infants by my adoptive parents," said Jessica as she looked at Billy in confusion. "Jill has one too." As Tommy and Kim got a good look at the necklace they gasped.
"What, what are you gasping for?" asked Jessica.
"Jessica, we need you to come with us, we need to explain something to you," said Tommy. "Jill too. If you have what we think you have, you guys are in more danger than you think."
A short while later, the four teens and Jill (after being picked up by Jessica at the library in a hurry) had gathered in the Command Center, along with Trini, Jason and Zack.
"Welcome Jessica and Jill, you have no need to be frightened," said Zordon.
"Power Rangers? You guys are the Power Rangers?" cried Jessica.
"Yes, but there's more," said Billy. "Jill, Jess, the coins on your necklaces, they are the missing orange and purple power coins."
"What?" whispered Jess and Jill as they looked at each other.
"How is that possible?" asked Trini. "I thought there were only six power coins."
"I believe I can explain that," said Zordon. "When Rita trapped me in my energy tube, my wife Sarah and I came to Earth to protect the planet, for we feared she would escape her dumpster, as she eventually did. For thousands of years, we kept the planet safe. Then sixteen years ago, my wife decided that she wanted to return to Eltar, due to her parents being of old age. The one thing my wife and I never had until that moment, was a child. Before I was imprisoned, I froze my sperm and she froze her eggs. Our methods of fertility and aging are much different and advanced than here on Earth. Sarah wanted a baby, and with that, she fertilized her eggs via In-vitro and soon after, she gave birth to fraternal twin girls."
Jessica and Jill looked at each other.
Impossible, they both thought.
"Fearing that the girls would be in danger should any of our enemies discover that there were two heirs to the Eltarian throne..."
"Wait, did you say throne?" asked Jason. "As in, royalty?"
"Yes Jason, I did not reveal this to you all sooner, for I knew there would come a day where all was revealed. Sarah and I are the King and Queen of Eltar. We were a part of a three planet alliance that ruled the Andromeda Galaxy. Sarah brought the girls back here to Earth, and she left them on the doorstep of a childless couple we watched for many weeks. Before Sarah left the girls, she placed a gold coin around both of their necks, as a symbol of their heritage, and their birthright. These were the two power coins of Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus, two dinosaurs that shared similar qualities, thus showing that my daughters deserved these coins."
"Are you saying, that we're your daughters?" asked Jessica breathlessly.
"Yes, you are home, my children," said Zordon. Jessica and Jill stared at each other in wonder.
"That would explain why you and I can read each other's minds," said Jill.
"And why Goldar couldn't trap me in his magnetic pull," said Jessica.
"Yes," said Zordon. "Because you are both very powerful in good magic, any evil attempts to abduct you are thwarted unless you are defenseless. Because you had your power coin on you Jessica, the power coin kept Goldar from kidnapping you."
"What are we going to do about Rocky and the others?' asked Tommy. "Mr. Anderson is helpless against Goldar. He is just a civilian."
"This is a very grave situation Rangers," said Zordon. "Because Lord Zedd has captured Rocky, Adam, and Aisha, he plans on turning them evil so that he can have them become his new evil warriors."
"Great, then what?" asked Zack.
"Then Angel Grove and the Earth will be in terrible danger. The three ninjas and Mr. Anderson are being held in Lord Zedd's Cave of Despair. Jessica, Jill, please remove your power coins, and hold them high up in the air. It is time for you, to accept your destiny."
Jessica and Jill looked at each other and nodded, doing as they were told. A few energy bolts shot out of Zordon's tube, and the next thing the group knew, Jessica and Jill were in full ranger uniform.
"Whoa!" cried Jessica.
"This is so cool," said Jill, high-fiving Jessica.
"My daughters, there are three things you must know about being a ranger," said Zordon. "First, never use your power for personal gain, and never escalate a battle against Lord Zedd unless you are forced to. Finally, you must never reveal to anyone, that you, are a Power Ranger."
In the Cave of Despair, the three ninjas and Mr. Anderson were chained up, surrounded by putties and Goldar.
"You three have been chosen by Lord Zedd, master of all evil, to become his new warriors!" cried Goldar.
"Who?" asked Aisha.
"Lord what?" asked Rocky.
"Yeah right, we would never use our powers for evil!" said Adam.
"You have no choice in the matter!" said Goldar as he disappeared. Rocky turned to Mr. Anderson, who looked grim.
"Mr. Anderson, are you okay?" asked Rocky.
"Yeah, I'm just worried about Jacob," said Mr. Anderson.
"Don't worry Mr. A, Jess is taking good care of him," said Rocky. Little did he know that Jessica had left Bulk and Skull in charge of both babies, and the two were struggling like crazy with Jacob, while Lexie seemed to be doing just fine for herself.
As the putties were occupied for a moment, Rocky whispered to Aisha.
"Think you can pick the lock, Sha?" asked Rocky.
"Tell me when," said Aisha. Rocky looked at the putties and when their backs were turned, he nodded.
"Now," whispered Rocky and Aisha started to pick the lock.
Meanwhile back at the Command Center, the eight rangers were trying to figure out the location of Zedd's Cave of Despair when the alarms blared.
"What is it? Why are those going off?" asked Jessica.
"Lord Zedd has unleashed a monster in the park to attempt to distract you from rescuing your friends," said Zordon. "The Terror Blossom is a dangerous monster who has the ability to freeze all in his path."
"Oh no, Lexie and Jacob are still in the park!" said Jessica. "Can we teleport them out of there?"
"Alpha, teleport Bulk, Skull, and the children out of the park to a safer location," said Zordon.
"Right away Zordon," said Alpha. With the push of a button, Bulk, Skull, and the two babies landed into Jessica and Jill's living room.
"Skull, weren't we just in the park?" asked Bulk as they now sat on the couch.
"Uh, I think so," said Skull. The two looked at each other and fainted among the two diaper bags. The babies laughed and clapped.
Back at the Command Center, Jessica nodded in approval.
"Hopefully Dad, uh, Richard, doesn't freak out when he comes home and sees them with Lexie and Jacob. He'll probably figure it out."
"I can only hope that the Terror Blossom doesn't shut down the whole city," said Zordon. "But they should be safe, for now. Jessica, Jill, it is time for you to join the other rangers. But first, your new powers. Jessica, you are the Purple Stegosaurus ranger. Your stegosaurus zord, powered up by thunder, is known as the Stegosaurus Leopard Thunderzord. Jillian, you are the Orange Ankylosaurus ranger. You will command the Ankylosaurus Stag Thunderzord. With these new zords Rangers, you will be able to combine all seven thunderzords and the Tigerzord into the Ultra Thunderzord. The Stag and the Leopard zords will become your new aids in defeating Zedd's monsters. Go now, and may the power protect you."
"Let's do it guys!" said Tommy. "It's Morphin Time!"
"Tigerzord!"
"Mastodon!"
"Pterodactyl!"
"Tricerotops!"
"Saber-toothed tiger!"
"Tyrannosaurus!"
"Stegosaurus!"
"Ankylosaurus!"
"Hiyah!" the rangers cried as they arrived in the park.
"Oh lookie the Power Rangers!" cried Terror Blossom.
Up on the moon, Zedd couldn't believe his eyes.
"WHAT?! TWO MORE RANGERS? WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?" he yelled, turning redder. He summoned a bomb, and threw it down to Angel Grove. As it exploded in front of the Terror Blossom, he began to grow tall.
"Whoa!" cried the other rangers. "We need Ultra Thunderzord power, now!"
"Mastadon Lion Thunderzord power!"
"Pterodactyl Firebird Thunderzord power!"
"Triceratops Unicorn Thunderzord power!"
"Saber-Tooth Tiger Griffin Thunderzord power!"
"Tyrannosaurus Red Dragon Thunderzord Power!"
"Stegosaurus Leopard Thunderzord power!"
"Ankylosaurus Stag Thunderzord Power!"
"White Tigerzord! Power Up!"
The eight rangers jumped into their zords.
"This is awesome!" cried Jessica. "Look at this thing!"
"Incredible!" said Jill. "Come on guys, let's get this bad seed!"
The zords combined and soon the Ultra Thunderzord was completed.
"Wow, amazing!" said Tommy.
"Radical," said Zack.
Meanwhile back in the cave, Goldar had returned just before Aisha could finish picking the lock.
"Surrender now or be bitten by the Serpent of Darkness!" cried Goldar.
"Never!" cried Rocky.
"Kiss my ass," said Adam. "We will never join you!"
"Very well, you have no choice but to face the wrath of the Serpent!" cried Goldar. "See you when the transformation is complete!" Goldar disappeared in a fire of gold and the snake started moving towards them.
"Oh shit," said Rocky.
"Don't make any sudden moves you guys," said Mr. Anderson. "Stay calm."
In the Command Center the alarms blared again.
"Ai yi yi!" cried Alpha. "Goldar has set the snake on Rocky, Adam and Aisha!"
"Alpha, alert the Rangers at once!" cried Zordon. "Rangers, Lord Zedd has unleashed his snake on your friends in the cave. Jason, Trini, Zack, and Jill, you stay behind to defeat the Terror Blossom. The rest of you, head to the cave to save your friends. There is no time to waste."
"We're on it Zordon!" cried Tommy. Jessica, Tommy, Kim, and Billy disembarked the Ultra Thunderzord and teleported to the cave. A group of putties was blocking the entrance.
"We need to distract them," said Jessica.
"Leave that to us. If they get you, aim for the Z on their chests."
"Right," said Jessica. She quickly disappeared out of view from the putties and Tommy spoke up.
"You waiting for us guys?" he asked the Putties. The putties saw Kim, Tommy and Billy standing at the top of the cliff and headed for them. While the three of them took on the putties, Jessica snuck into the cave.
"Hey guys, no worries," said Jessica, "I'll have you out in a jiffy."
"A Purple ranger? Where did she come from?" asked Aisha.
"Hold still guys," said Jessica. She quickly grabbed the snake and before she could throw it, the snake started to wrestle with her.
"Oh no you don't!" cried Jessica. "Shit! I hate snakes!"
"A Power Ranger with a potty mouth," said Adam. "Who would've thought?"
"Doesn't surprise me," said Rocky. "But why is her voice familiar?"
Just then, the other three rangers ran into the cave, having defeated the putties.
"Get them loose first!" cried Jessica. Kim pulled out her blaster.
"Just hold still you guys," said Kim, pointing her blaster at the chains. The chains disappeared in a flash and Billy ran over to Mr. Anderson.
"Come on Mr. Anderson, let's get you back to Jacob!" said Billy.
"What about the kids?" he asked but Billy teleported them away quickly. Billy and Mr. Anderson landed at the Hartgrove residence, where Bulk and Skull were now gone and replaced by Richard Hartgrove.
"Hank!" said Richard. "The Blue Ranger! Those guys here with the kids said you were abducted by some monster! Where are Jessica and Jill?"
"Don't worry Sir, the girls, Aisha, Rocky and Adam are all just fine!" said Billy. "They will be back soon!" Billy teleported out of the Hartgrove house while Mr. Anderson reunited with Jacob, who seemed to now be in much happier spirits.
Meanwhile back in the cave, Tommy had thrown the snake off Jess and it landed on a rock.
"Stay clear of it Tommy," said Kim. "I'm gonna blast this thing back to Lord Zedd." Kim pushed the trigger and the snake disappeared in a flash. Jessica was on the ground in the mist coughing and gasping.
"We gotta do something!" said Tommy as he and Kim rushed to Jessica's aid.
"We gotta take off her helmet!" continued Kim.
"Wait!" cried Tommy, looking to Rocky, Aisha and Adam, before turning back to Kim. "Okay, Okay." They removed Jessica's helmet as she rolled over in the rising mist coughing away.
"Jess? You alright? Just take a deep breath," said Kim.
"Oh, look at that," whispered Adam.
"No way," whispered Rocky.
"Impossible," said Aisha.
"Oh no," whispered Jessica as she came face to face with her friends and her boyfriend.
"Jess? Baby, you're a-" stammered Rocky.
"If that's you, than you must be..." started Aisha, pointing to Kim.
"I don't believe this," said Kim.
"Kimberly..." awed Adam as she removed her helmet.
"And Tommy!" exclaimed Rocky as Tommy removed his.
"You guys are the Power Rangers?!" Aisha exclaimed. "Unbelievable!"
After the Terror Blossom had been defeated by Jill, Trini, Jason, and Zack, the eight rangers, along with Rocky, Aisha and Adam stood in the Command Center.
"I'm glad to see you all made it back safe and sound," said Zordon. "And I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new friends-"
"This is amazing," whispered Rocky.
"-Rocky, Adam, and Aisha."
"Shh, Rocky, let the man talk," said Aisha. She tilted her head. "I think he's a man."
"Rocky, Adam and Aisha, you are the only other people to know the true identities of the Power Rangers. It is imperative that this information remains a secret. You have been loyal to Jessica and Jill over the years and I thank you for the friendship and love you have with my daughters. You have proven yourself loyal, fair, and trustworthy. Therefore, we ask that you take a solemn vow never to reveal the secret of the Power Rangers' identities."
"We'll take that vow," said Adam, nodding.
"Count on it," said Aisha.
"And never betray you," said Rocky seriously, looking up at the eyes of his daughter's biological grandfather.
"Then repeat after me," said Zordon. "I swear, upon the Forces of Goodness..."
"I swear, upon the Forces of Goodness," said the three.
"To maintain the secret of the true identities of the Power Rangers," continued Zordon.
"To maintain the secret of the true identities of the Power Rangers," the three repeated.
"Thank you friends," said Zordon.
Later that day, after Jessica and Rocky reunited with Lexie at the house, the group found Mr. Anderson, Jacob, and Bulk and Skull back in the park.
"I knew the Power Rangers would rescue you," said Bulk.
"Yeah, they saved us once too," said Skull. Mr. Anderson nodded in amusement. He saw the group and sighed in relief.
"Boy am I glad to see you guys," said Mr. Anderson. "You guys alright?"
"Yeah," said Aisha, "thanks to the Power Rangers."
"You know, we'd like to interview you in depth about these Power Rangers," said Bulk.
"Uh..." started Adam.
"Maybe some other time," said Mr. Anderson. "Oh, we'll wash your bandanna, and get that back to you Skull."
"Oh that's okay," said Skull in disgust a bit. "Keep it." He patted Jacob's bottom.
"Hey, you guys did such a great job of babysitting, maybe you'd like to do it again?" asked Mr. Anderson.
"Oh. uh." started Bulk.
"Yeah, you guys could have both Lexie and Jacob for a day," grinned Jessica.
"Uhh we're kinda busy," said Skull.
"Yeah, in fact we're outta here," said Bulk as the two got up and ran off. The group laughed and Kim and Aisha high-fived each other.
