In desperation, Logan concentrated hard on the sword making it wobble and slow as it hurtled toward him. Behind him, Goldar shouted just as Logan managed to finally snatch the sword out of the air and grip it in his hand. He knew he had only seconds to turn around but he thought it was already too late and he'd be skewered by Goldar.

Knowing this, he still turned, holding his sword out and Goldar was right there, the tip of his sword touching Logan's chest shield where his heart was when laser fire lashed out from somewhere and slammed into him. Goldar fell backward under the barrage of fire.

Sighing in relief, Logan rolled out of the way and laid still, closing his eyes and catching his breath. When he opened them again, he was in time to see a Ranger in white armor, with black and gold stripes on his or her's gloves and boots leapt over him, high in the air, holding a saber with a tiger-head pommel that they waved back and forth threateningly. Over the person's chest they wore a shield that was mainly black with gold strips deviding it and shoulder plates.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" The ranger roared, forcing Goldar to rejoin Sentinel.

As Logan rolled onto his chest and slowly pushed himself upward to his feet, he felt a hand on his upper arm, helping him.

"Are you alright?"

"I'll be fine, Tommy," Logan said quietly, getting his feet under him and letting the sword hang limply at his side.

"How did you know it was me?"

"Who else has such great timing and looks incredible in white." He eyed the gold and black striped white helmet. "Being a white tiger suits you, but Zordon so stole that from me," he accused mockingly, jabbing his finger on others shield right on the large coin in the center.

A roar from behind made them whirl around. "So! The prodigal Ranger returns!" Goldar shouted.

"We both know I don't have to be a Ranger to kick your gold plated butt," Tommy jeered back, shifting his sword's position.

Logan hissed closed to Tommy, "what's the plan? Are the others coming or are we on our own?" He took a couple of steps away from Tommy, keeping his eye on the power meter and shifting his sword, readying to fight again.

"Rita's back, Bulk and Skull have her dumpster, the others are handling it."

"Rita! Why am I not surprised! So, how do you want to handle this? Two against one?"

"Sure you're up for it?"

"Hey, have I ever not been? The real question is...who will get Goldar's butt first...now let's roar, White Tiger!"

The two of them charged forward. Tommy charged ahead, weaving Saba left and right as a Sentinel and one of her assistants charged him. An assistant closed in and swung his sword at Tommy, the White Tiger dropped to his knees and slid under the sword then leaped to his feet and whipped around, raising Saba, firing laser from the tiger eyes on the pommel.

The assistant fell back under the laser fire as Tommy spun around and parried a blow from The Sentinel. Going with the momentum, Tommy nailed her first with a spin kick then a slash from Saba. Leaping up he nailed her again with a couple of kicks and slashed her again with a downward stroke across the face.

Back on his feet, he dropped down and swept her legs out from under her. As he stood tall again he turned in time to be slashed across his chest shield by the assistant. The blow sent him spinning and landing in a crouch with one hand on the ground and one leg stretched out behind him.

"You know a little warning would be nice Saba," he growled, annoyed.

"So would not being so dizzy," Saba replied as the Sentinel and her Assistant regrouped.

As the two charged him, he stepped back brandishing Saba. "Saba! Full power now!" The blade started to glow white.

Waving Saba around a couple more times, he shouted, "Saba Saber! White Tiger Slash!" Spinning, he slashed out and a wave of white energy launched out. The energy wave hit the enemy full on the chest. He whirled away as they exploded behind him.

Logan charged Goldar while the other Assistant leapt forward to tackle him full on the chest. His sword flew from his hand as the two rolled on the ground until Logan was able to get a hold of the assistant and spinning hurrled him in to Goldar. Rolling he took cover behind a tree after they got to their feet and fired lasers at him. His sword shot into his hand as the Assistant came around and threw a punch which he blocked then locked the arm that was about to slash down on him.

Taking a step forward, he put it in a head lock. Drawing the head back, he exposed the throat and drove his sword all the way through to the hilt, then twisting it as he turned away from the Assistant. Turning, he ended up facing Goldar who scowled down at the head that had rolled to his feet as the Assistant's body fell to the ground behind Logan.

Logan strode forward as the body of the assistant exploded into ash behind him. Halting a few paces from Goldar, he dropped into a fighting stance and waited. They stared at each other for several tense seconds before Goldar decided to turn tail and fly away. Logan watched as his enemy vanished from view before dropping to one knee, his sword tip planted in the ground beside him as he tried to regain his breath and strength.

A hand came to rest on his shoulder some moments later and he looked up to see who it was. Tommy was standing there but his attention was on where the assistant's head still lay before returning his attention to Logan.

"You alright, man?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, just tired."

"Are you sure?" Logan, his gaze flicking to the head meaningfully and back again.

Tommy nodded. "Yeah, I'm not proud of what I had to do but it was necessary."

They were interrupted by the arrival of an orb dropping from the sky. Shielding themselves, the orb exploded when it hit the ground and when they could see again, three Sentinels had appeared and grew before their eyes, to thirty stories tall.

Staring in dismay, they traded concerned looks. Logan finally said, "guess its time for you to go to work."

Tommy nodded and raised Saba. "Activate the Tigerzord!" Saba called out.

"Tigerzord Power Up!" Tommy called and a deafening roar sounded.

Logan turned and Tigerzord charged toward them. "Yeah it works! Alright!" Tommy yelled, jumping up and down but suddenly the Tigerzoid stumbled and landed hard. The impact caused a ripple effect in the ground which threw the both of them off their feet.

Logan rolled onto his chest while Tommy got to his feet and shouted, "Hey! I thought you knew what you're doing!".

"I do," Saba snarled, annoyed.

"Oh yeah? You sure could have fooled me!" Tommy snarked back then leapt onto the Tigerzord.

"Lovers quarrel," Logan mumbled to himself as he got to his feet and ran for the Dragon Rider Cycle.

'What do you expect? It is the first time he's had a partner," Red Dragon Spirit told Logan as his rider climbed on and took the handles, revved the engine then twisted it around before roaring into the air.

Logan shook his head as Tigerzord charged forward and after the Sentinel fired its lasers at him, he leapt inside.

'Logan we can't remain in the air too long... the Cycle needs repairs!' Red Dragon warned.

'Yeah I know, so this has to be fast!' Logan responded as he watched Tigerzord issue a roar that caused the Sentinel and her Assistants to cover their ears.

Then he watched in amazement as Tigerzord converted to Warrior Mode and charged the Sentinel. He watched them exchange a few blows before Sentinel and her Assistants nailed the Tigerzord Warrior Mode in the chest, launching it backward, hard and forcing it back to Tiger mode.

'We've got to help him!' Logan barked.

'We can't,' Red Dragon said forcefully.

'We can't just do nothing!' Logan shouted, frustrated..

'LOGAN!' Red Dragon bellowed. Logan flinched at the force of the mental shout.

After a second of silence. 'There's nothing we can do. Our power level is too low. We need to preserve what we have. And Tommy doesn't need us now...behold!' Red Dragon said making n Logan whip around in time to see Jason's Zord transform.

He watched as it jumped onto Tigerzord's back, holding its staff like a lance. Like a medieval knight on horseback they rode down the Sentinel and her Assistants, knocking each one aside. Then Logan watched as Tigerzord converted back to Warrior mode.

Hearing a cry, Logan turned and saw the other Zords come into view. 'We are no longer needed here so we must go.' Red Dragon said.

'Oh come on, I gotta see this,' Logan insisted, watching the fight avidly.

'I'll never understand the human desire to see conflict.'

Logan watched in fascination as the other Zords combined with Tigerzord forming into Mega Tigerzord. Observing in fascination, he saw it walk forward deflecting hit after hit from Sentinel and her Assistants. Then the Assistants leapt at it and were launched back from two mighty blows causing them to crash into Sentinel.

Then Mega Tigerzord launched Firebird Zord encased in energy fired from Tigerzord's mouth at the three monsters. Like a bullet, a flaming Firebird Zord went through all three of them then returned to Mega Tigerzord's wrist. As it turned its back to them, all three monsters fell to the ground and exploded.

'Now can we go?' Red Dragon asked, bored.

'Not quite we still got one thing to do,' Logan said then turned the Dragon Rider Cycle toward the ground.

Landing, he tore down the street as the wings on his bike returned to their original position. He soon arrived at Skull's stepfather's shop and after parking the bike, looked around while waving his hand over the wall nearby and noting he could see through the wall where his hand was. The other Rangers walked to his side where Rita's dumpster was.

"Afraid so," he heard Tommy say from nearby.

"We're like, your worst nightmare," Kimberly added standing behind him.

Suddenly, Logan saw a miniature of Rita trying to make a break around the dumpster. He phased his arm through the wall and slammed his hand down in front of Rita. She froze then slowly looked up at him.

"Hi Rita, remember me?"

"You!" she screeched. While she was staring at Logan, Zack reached from behind and snatched her in his hand.

"Nightty, night Rita," Zack snickered.

"No! Let me go you Power Geeks!" She shrieked, but Zack ignored her screams and stuffed her back into the dumpster and slammed the lid down.

"That's it huh?" Logan asked.

"Yeah, she's gone." Tommy grunted, satisfied.

"Ah, too bad. She would have made a really cool lawn ornament," Logan said, smirking. No longer needed, he turned to leave.

"Wait..."

Logan paused and looked over his shoulder at Tommy.

"You, Jason, and me need to talk," Tommy said, seriously.

Logan sighed, "Fine I'll meet you guys tonight."

"No...now!" Tommy insisted, firmly.

"In front of Bulk and Skull?" Jason asked, concerned.

Tommy then said, irritably. "Fine, come with me! Then he teleported away.

Jason and Logan glanced at each other before Jason teleported and Logan phased through the wall.

Left alone, the others looked a bit put out.

"You guys feel as if we're missing something here?" Kimberly asked, confused and frustrated. The others could only shrug.

Logan arrived out of sight of the main Command Center chamber. Hiding behind some rocks, he pressed the cylinder Zordon had given him. Immediately, he felt the changes pour over him for several seconds then stop.

He now disquised as he was before tied his now long white hair that he pulled in a pony then summoned a portal and stepped through to the Command Center chamber.

His arrival was immediately noticed by Tommy, Jason, Zordon, and Alpha who turned to look at him.

"Well at least you did show up," Jason drawled, straightening up from the console he had been leaning against.

"I said I would be," Logan said, stepping forward and he and Tommy met part way and the two grasped hands.

"Are you ok?" Tommy asked concerned.

Logan nodded. "Yeah I'm fine, and I gotta say, it was nice that you saved my life for a change," he said and Tommy chuckled.

"At least he didn't have shoot anybody doing it?" Jason asked sarcastically.

Logan's face hardened and he stepped forward.

"That's enough!" Tommy barked stepping between them.

"For your information, I saved Billy's life!" Logan defended himself, heatedly.

"Saved him!" Jason's voice soared upward in anger, stepping even closer, the two almost sandwiched Tommy.

"If I hadn't done what I did…" Logan started but was interrupted as Tommy shoved him and Jason back.

"I SAID ENOUGH!" He roared, holding his arms up to keep the two apart.

Slowly Tommy looked from one to the other. "What's done is done, and we must stop this pointless fighting amongst ourselves. We are all on the same side in this fight. Zedd would love this descension...its what he lives for. So knock it off. This matter is to be dropped now. If we are to be strong enough to defeat our enemies, then we must stand united or not at all! Which will it be?" He demanded, giving each person a hard stare.

Everyone stared at each other then back to Tommy. Heads slowly nodded.

Satisfied, Tommy eyed Logan and Jason sternly. "What I want to see now is the two of you shaking hands and parting once more as friends."

Logan lowered his eyes a moment before raising them to look at Jason. For a few seconds the two stared then Logan slowly stepped forward and offered his hand. Jason looked at it then back at him.

"We came as enemies let us part as brothers again," Logan said, firmly.

Jason blinked then glanced at Tommy before turning back to Logan then slowly reached out and grasped Logan's hand. "Alright, but if you shoot any one of us again, you're finished," Jason warned as they still grasped hands.

Logan held his gaze then slowly nodded. "You have my word of honor," he promised.

a short time later Logan and Tommy stood side by side looking out at the dusty landscape. "Are you sure you're ok man, you seemed a little out of it?" Tommy asked.

Smiling Logan looked at him behind sunglasses. "for the twentieth time, I'm fine just a little tired," Logan said looking back at the landscape.

"I hope so, because I'm starting to think, maybe i should give you a lesson," Tommy said looking away.

Logan looked back at him and Tommy turned to return his gaze. Less than a second later the two were doubled up in roaring laughter. When they could control them selves Logan patted him on the back smiling.

"I don't think its come to that yet," Ligan said then turned to see Jason comming up.

The two shared a look then a breif nod. "I'd better go. See you around guys," Logan said then turned and streaked away.

The Youth Center….

"I cannot believe you are making me wear this," Logan moaned staring at his image in the mirror.

Staring back at him was a replica of Elvis wearing white jumpsuit with the bedazzled eagle. "I look like I'm going skydiving," he muttered, giving Ernie, who was holding a black wig, a disgusted look.

"Well it was in style back then," he said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Only to the rich," Logan snapped.

"Oh come on Logan it'll be fun. Besides it's the least you could do for Tommy's coming back party," Ernie said smiling and offering the wig.

With a heavy frown, Logan just scowled at him and ignored the wig.

"Besides I'm still paying you triple this week," Ernie said, still extending the wig at him.

With a grumbling moan, Logan snatched the wig and slowly placed it on his head. Some minutes later, he was on stage singing, 'Devil in Disguise' as Tommy sat with his family and the others. When he was finished the crowd cheered and he struck a pose.

"Why thank you, thank you very much, now I'm going to take a little break here. I got some reminiscing to do," he said then hopped off the stage and joined the others.

"I got to say Logan, you do a pretty good imitation of the King," Commander Mitchell complimented him.

"Thank you, Thank you very much," Dana declared doing the signature hand movements and everyone laughed.

"Yeah man and I gotta say you look good in a white jumpsuit too," Tommy smirked.

After sipping his juice Logan gave Tommy a playful punch on the shoulder. "Look who's talking," he said indicating Tommy's immaculate white clothes.

They shared a smile and Tommy looked around. "Man you guys are the best," he said.

"Well I think your surprise was better than our surprise," Jason said.

"Well a toast my friends, to returning friends, and brotherhood," Logan said raising his cup.

"Here, here" Trini agreed and they all touched cups.

Just then Richie came up holding a trophy. "Hey guys," he said.

"Did you win that trophy?" Trini asked.

"Yeah, in the Karate tournament this afternoon."

"Wow, congratulations man!" Tommy smiled at him.

"Yeah, that's really great," Kimberly praised.

"Way to go, Richie," Billy agreed.

"Hey, how about a demonstration?" Tommy asked and Captain Mitchell nodded.

After putting down the trophy Richie got into a stance then spun around and kicked the cake Ernie was bringing over, right out of his hands. They watched open mouthed as it soared through the air and collided with Bulk and Skull as they came through the door. The group laughed as the two looked at each other after Bulk shook like a dog then turned and left.

"Well nice to know some thing's never change," Tommy chortled.

"Aw! I wanted cake," Dana moaned.

Logan looked at her then sprang to his feet in a pose. "Well don't you fret little lady for the King…" he said walking over to the bar.

"…always has a spare," he said revealing the backup cake.

The group clapped at this while Dana bounced up and down. "How did you know?" Tommy asked as he placed it in the center of the table.

"By remembering that Bulk and Skull are magnets when it comes to flying objects. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a series to finish and save some cake for me," he said then hopped back on stage.

After flicking the mike back on he said, "now everyone, this number is for all those lonely hearts out there," he said and a few people clapped.

"Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel

Well, I'll be
I'll be so lonely baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I'll be so lonely, I could die," he sang and at that moment his mike went dead.

"Oh, although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom," a new voice sang and looking around Logan saw Ashley slide out of the lockers dressed in the female version of Elvis.

"They'll be so
They'll be so lonely, baby
Well, they're so lonely
They're so lonely, they could die," Ashley sang as she walked forward and hopped on the stage.

"Now, the bell hop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well, they been so long on Lonely Street
They'll never ever look back

And it's so
Well, it's so lonely baby
Well, they're so lonely
Well, they're so lonely, they could've die," the two sang together then Logan gave Tommy a glance as he, his family, and the others started to sing along and joined them on stage.

"Well, if your baby leaves you
You got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel

Where you will be
You'll be so lonely, baby
Well you'll be lonely
You'll be so lonely you could die

Oh, although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom," they all sang together as they all did a Elvis style dance.

"I've been so
I've be so lonely, baby
Well, I've been so lonely
I'll be so lonely, I could die," Ashley sang alone rubbing herself along Logan.

Logan gave her an askance look as she stood straight then brought her mike close. "Yeah right," he said into it and the center rang with laughter.

Back at the warehouse Logan sat at the managers desk his head resting on his interlocking fingers as his tumbs tapped with his thoughts. 'Ok Red Dragon give it to me straight,' he said.

'We have enough power for one maybe two fights, after that we'd have no choice but to leave' he said and Logan sighed his eyes closing.

'I hate to leave them, with us Dragvox could...' he started but was interupted.

'I know, but if we don't, we could loose the power forever,' Red Dragon said solemnly.
