Chapter 14
"Look at that!" Kim said as two birds took flight before their eyes.
"It's a Falcon and a Crane." Tommy said as he took a closer look. He knew that to be a sign. He had a feeling that he was the other great power along side of Kim. They falcon and the crane confirm what he was thinking.
"I assume that it means that we are the two Greatest Power Rangers?" Kim asked. She knew that the birds were the sign that she needed to confirm her thoughts.
"I think so. I had a feeling when we stepped in the dimension that I was the other power." Tommy said as he looked to Kim.
He realized that they would fight along side each other once again. He was ready to take that role. Their fear was one in the same and they had overcome that by being here and trying to move forward by each other's side.
All at once, the dimension faded away, they were in front of a temple not unlike that they'd seen on Phadeos. The Falcon and the Crane that they had just seen fly away hovered above the door as if suggesting that they go inside.
Tommy and Kim walked hand-in-hand up to the door. They both placed their hands on the door and pushed. They took each other's hand once again and stepped through the open door way.
The inside was not unlike the island that they had just left. There were of course trees, rivers, and mountains like those that Earth has but they knew that they were not on Earth. They were somewhere else entirely but they felt at home. It felt like the old Command Center had felt. They both jumped when a small robot came out from behind a giant tree.
"Greetings Rangers. I trust your journey went well." The robot said.
"Alpha! I have missed you. What are you doing here?" Kim asked as she let go of Tommy's hand and ran up to the robot to give him a hug.
"Oh, Kimberly. I have missed you too. I am here to guide you." Alpha told the former Pink Ranger. He noticed that she dresses in her color.
"Alpha, where is here?" Tommy asked as he came to stand by Kim.
"You are on Eltar, the home of Zordon and myself." Alpha said proudly. He had one more surprise for the Rangers.
"Eltar? It looks just like Earth." Kim said as she did a complete circle to look at her surroundings. She did not notice the shadow that had come to stand behind her and Tommy.
"Yes it does Kimberly. It is good to see my former Pink and White Rangers together again." The shadow said behind them. He watched as the duo did a slow turn around to see who was speaking to them.
"Zordon?" Kim said in a whisper as she true to fashion fainted in Tommy's arms.
"I can't believe it. How? Why?" Tommy said. He knew that Kim would come out of her faint in a little bit.
"Yes, Tommy. I was also prepared for her faint. Here you can lay her on this." Zordon said an exam table appeared at his side. Tommy put her on the table and turned back to his mentor.
"I am excited to see you but shouldn't you be dead?" Tommy asked. He wanted to make sure that he was not seeing a ghost.
"Yes but it did not actually happen like it should have. When Andros broke my tube, my spirit went through the universe it cleanse many of the people and destroyed others. My spirit also reached Eltar and when it did, it entered my body that was long ago frozen. I became human once again no longer trapped in my time wrap. I am sorry that I did not let anyone know. I needed to stay dead for a while but now it is time for my presentence to be known." Zordon said as he stepped out of the shadows.
Tommy noticed that he was younger than he would have guessed. He also heard a moan from Kim. He turned and watched as Kim sat up. He noticed that she was looking around and he knew the moment that she had seen Zordon. She jumped off the table and hugged her mentor who was more like a father figure to her more than anyone else. He watched as Zordon hugged his Pink Ranger and Tommy saw tears in both of their eyes. He was surprise that his former mentor was crying as he hugged the Earth's first Pink Ranger.
"It is good to see you Kimberly. I am glad that you forced Tommy to rescue his Red a boy that you haven't even met." Zordon said as he let go of Kim. He watched as she wiped her eyes.
"It is also good to see you as well Zordon. I have missed you." Kim said as she went back to stand next to Tommy. She grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze.
"You both know why you are here. You are the past rangers that have an inner strength that is so strong that it has a power attached. You will once again go on a journey to find these powers. You will not change colors for these. Tommy I know that you are now the Black Dino Ranger but your great power will be White. These powers will be a combination of your past powers. I will help you all that I can but you must do this on your own." Zordon told his rangers. Alpha came up to him then and gave him a map. He then turned to the rangers and handed it to Tommy.
"What is this?" Tommy asked. He opened the piece of paper that Zordon had given him. He had to let go of Kim's hand to take the paper.
"It is a map. It tells you how to get to your powers. I can only help you so far after that you must do it on your own." Zordon told them. He knew that they were ready. He motioned to Alpha then to let him know to push the buttons for the rangers.
"When do we leave?" Kim asked as she looked over the map.
"You leave right now. Good Luck my rangers and May the Power protect you." Zordon said. He knew that his parting words were a comfort for these two. He knew that they could do this. He watched as Alpha pushed the buttons that took the two rangers in streaks of Pink and White. They teleported once again to a faraway place to find their powers.

Billy looked once again at the computer but he could not believe it. He was not sure that he did. How could Zordon still be alive?

Connor was all of a sudden thrown into green light. He could finally see around him. There was still a smoke-like fog on the floor of this place. There were golden bars going diagonal from the ceiling to the floor in sections. There was a green place where the bars met. He saw the electricity bouncing off the bars.
He saw the entire place as he turned around. It was small but he felt the evil flowing through this place. He felt that there had been many battles here but he didn't know why. He felt a ghost of a monster beside him. He thought he heard the sounds of a battle between this monster he felt and maybe a Red Ranger but he was not sure because he thought the he was the first Red Ranger.
"You are not the first." A voice spoke up behind him. Connor turned around but he didn't see anyone.
"Who are you?" Connor asked.
"I am the one who created this dimension. It was designed for my monster Goldar. He fought two great rangers here. The first Red Ranger and the first Green Ranger fought here. They both almost died here." The voice said. He recognized that the voice was female.
"Why am I here?" Connor asked the voice.
"You were brought here to capture one the Greatest Rangers. You know this ranger well. He is your mentor and fellow ranger." The voice said.
"Dr. O? He was not a ranger before. He would have told me. He is just a high school teacher." Connor argued. Whoever this person was did not know the Dr. O that he did.
"Your Dr. O as you call him was first my ranger. He has been many colors in the Ranger World. I chose him first then the other rangers broke my spell. He began one of the six only to lose his power to my Green Candle but Zordon his mentor vexed me by having him give his power coin to Jason, the original Red Ranger. You know Jason and Trini they were part of that Original team. The other three you will meet shortly." The voice said.
"Why are you telling me this?" Connor asked. He was mad that Dr. O had not told him that he was a Power Ranger before. He would ask him later about that. He just had to get out of here.
"You are my bait. You are like him, you know. He went to the lake a lot by himself to think about a fellow ranger as well. He was in love the Pink Ranger almost like you are with the Yellow Ranger. I needed to get him. I also knew that a certain Pink Ranger was coming here so that is why I capture you when I did. He would not come after you until he had a way out but then she came. She was the one who got him to come without an exit. You should thank her when they show up. Her name is Kimberly and since you do not have a Pink on your team, I will tell you how a Pink acts. The reason she fought him so bad to come and get you was because being Pink they put everyone else above them. You being a ranger received her compassion and her drive. She is the reason that you will get out. I will release you when I get him." The voice said.
"What if they don't come? How do you know that you will get him?" Connor asked. He was mad that this voice knew more about Dr. O than he did.
"Oh they will come. They are Power Rangers though and though. They will risk their life to get you back. They had done it many times before." The voice said laughingly.
"Show yourself. You know who I am but I don't know you." Connor said forcefully. He was becoming a great Red Ranger. He was following in every Red Ranger's footsteps to become a leader.
"Turn around little Red Ranger." The voice said. Connor turned around there stood a woman. She had some kind of a weird Renaissance dress with a collar up to her ears. She also had the Madonna cones and a staff that had an orb in a circle at the top of it.
"What is your name?" Connor asked. He was not too shocked over her appearance because Elsa dressed just as bad.
"I am Rita Repulsa. I am married Zedd. We once ruled this universe until Zordon chose teenagers to be Power Rangers; Jason, Zack, Billy, Trini, and Kimberly." Rita said.
"Why is this dimension so important? I assumed that it means something or you would have picked somewhere else." Connor asked. He was trying to get as much information as he could.
"It was the place that was the beginning of the end for the Green Ranger. It was here that I worked my magic and formed the Green Candle and almost destroyed the Red Ranger. Tommy will come back here. He will save you and in doing that he will die. My husband and Goldar want his hide and I will give that to them." Rita said as she disappeared.
Connor was once alone in this dimension. He worried that Dr. O would come but maybe he would decide against this mission but if this Rita knew anything about this Kimberly who was with Dr. O then they would come. He needed to find a way out so that Dr. O would not get captured because of him. He also needed to get out so he could see Kira. He missed her being around him.
