The elevator doors slid open and Jason, Adam, Malcolm, and Billy ran down the hallway towards Tommy's hospital room. They saw Mark on the floor with David kneeling beside him.

"Wow, there actually are Power Rangers," David commented as he looked up and saw them.

Jason nodded, "Is he okay?" he asked, gazing at Mark. "What happened to him?"

"Katherine's not feeling well and Mark just fainted," David replied. "His cane broke when he fell."

A loud scream suddenly came from Tommy's hospital room, "You'd better go see what's going on in there, Rangers," David said in a concerned voice. "Mark will be fine, I think. I'll stay with him."

Jason nodded and he, Adam, Malcolm, and Billy hurried into Tommy's hospital room. Dr. Oliver was standing between Katherine and Tommy, protecting the unconscious Tommy from harm. A morphed Laura and angry Katherine were facing off at the other end of the room, neither one of them making a move.

"Ah, foolish girl, you called all your Power Ranger friends together!" Katherine hooted in an amused voice as she approached the other Rangers. "Master Rito and Goldar will be happy to see you!"

Suddenly, a faint groan sounded out from the bed, but before Katherine could go and attack Tommy, she was teleported from the room. A nurse hurried into the room and smiled when she saw the Power Rangers standing there, obviously making sure that the patients were safe from any trouble.

"Why did you take me away from the hospital?" Katherine hissed as she suddenly appeared in the throne room where Rito and Goldar waited. "Tommy was just beginning to wake up!"

Rito cackled, "I am about to embark on a plan that will rob the world of any memory of the Pink Ranger!" he roared in an excited voice. "Once the world has forgotten Kimberly, I will use her as a new evil slave and I will have no use for you any longer. You have served well, but now you are done."

"Mother and Father wanted me to lead the assault!" Katherine yelled in an angry voice. "They…"

Rito cackled and with of a wave of his arm, Katherine found her staff gone and her princess dress gone, leaving her in blue overalls and a pink shirt, "Your parents are not here and can do nothing!" he roared in an angry voice. "I am now in charge and I have deemed you useless to any future plans of mine!"

Katherine screamed as she was teleported out of the throne room with no powers to guide her anymore, "The device is ready!" Rito roared as he lifted the orb into the air. "Back in time I go."

"Zordon, if Rito manages to go back in time and capture young Kimberly, the power will become useless and the Rangers will be unable to defend Earth!" Alpha cried, alarmed what he had been seeing in the Viewing Globe. "We have to find some way to stop Rito Revolto from changing history!"

Zordon nodded, "Prepare two time devices and summon the Rangers," he replied in a grave voice.

"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi!" Alpha replied as he hurried off to the Chamber of Light to work on the time devices.

"Tommy, how are you feeling?" Laura asked in a concerned voice as she gazed down at Tommy, who was awake but still looking very groggy from being unconscious for hours. She gently patted his hand.

Tommy let out a tired sigh, relieved that his uncle and Laura were there, "Where's Kim?" he asked in a groggy voice as he struggled to keep his eyes open long enough to see Kimberly. "I'm so tired."

"Kimberly's probably going to come with the others after school lets out," Laura replied in a gentle voice, hating to see Tommy so confused and in obvious discomfort. "I came with you and your uncle in the ambulance to make sure your uncle could get some rest if he needed it. How are you feeling?"

Before Tommy, who was on the verge of going back to sleep, could reply, Jason, Malcolm and Adam came into the room, "Where's Billy and Kimberly?" Laura asked, suddenly feeling uneasy.

"Billy's visiting with David until a doctor clears Mark to go home," Jason replied. "Mark fainted."

Suddenly realizing that nobody was mentioning Kimberly, Tommy frowned, "Jason, where's Kimberly at?" he asked in a very faint voice. "I remember being teleported out of the arena with Laura…"

Malcolm and Adam exchanged a concerned look, "Right before we left, Rito grabbed Kimberly and sent us back to the football field demorphed," Adam replied. "We don't know what's happened to her."

"We need to…" Tommy said as he tried to sit up and suddenly winced. "I feel so dizzy from sitting up."

Dr. Oliver sighed and gently raised the bed using the controls, "You're not in any shape to do anything but rest," he said in a firm voice as Tommy lay back on the pillow. "I want you just to relax and sleep."

Beep-beep-boop-boop-beep beep.

"What is it, Alpha?" Malcolm asked as he raised his Communicator. "Katherine was teleported out…"

Alpha whimpered, "Malcolm, you and Jason need to teleport to the Command Center!" he replied.

Jason and Malcolm exchanged a look, "Laura and I will stay here," Adam offered. "You two go."

"Guys, be careful," Tommy whispered as he slowly drifted back to sleep. "I'm counting on you…"

As Jason and Malcolm teleported away, Dr. Oliver gave Laura, Adam and Billy a concerned look.

Jason and Malcolm quickly touched down in the Command Center and were surprised when Alpha immediately offered them items that looked like ordinary pocket watches, "Jason, Malcolm, Rito Revolto has captured Kimberly," Zordon said in a grave tone. "He has banished Katherine from the Moon Palace and has gone back in time to kidnap the younger version of Kimberly for brainwashing."

"If Rito captures Kimberly's younger self, history will be changed," Jason replied in a concerned voice.

Zordon nodded, "He plans to make the world forget that Kimberly ever existed and then brainwash Kimberly into serving as a slave of evil," he explained. "You two will need to put on disguises and travel back in time to when you were all powerless children. You two will serve as teachers at the school."

"These watches will help you travel back in time to when you were all very small," Alpha explained as he hung the watches around Jason and Malcolm's necks. "It is important that you do nothing to change history even if you recognize the opportunity to, as even the smallest thing could change the present."

Malcolm looked concerned, "What disguises are we going to wear, Zordon?" he asked in a worried voice as he mentally prepared to travel back in time. "How are we going to gain the trust of the citizens?"

Alpha worked some consoles and Jason found himself dressed in loafers, smart dress pants, a crisp dress shirt, a red tie, and a smart looking jacket, "Jason, you will be a teacher at Angel Grove Elementary during your time in the past," Zordon explained in a grave tone. "Your job is to watch for Rito."

Malcolm suddenly found himself wearing a professional martial arts outfit complete with Ninja-like slippers, "Malcolm, you will be a children's taekwondo instructor at the Angel Grove dojo," Zordon said in a grave tone. "Remember; do not do anything to alter the course of history. Only stop Rito from kidnapping young Kimberly and once Rito is back in the present, come back immediately."

"I understand," Malcolm replied, wondering why Zordon was giving him such a warning now.

Zordon smiled, "May the power protect you both," he replied. "Alpha, activate the teleporter."

Jason and Malcolm exchanged a look as Alpha activated the teleported and they were sent away.

Angel Grove Elementary School – 1987

"…Nya, nya, nya, you can't catch me!" Jason heard as he walked out on to the playground of Angel Grove Elementary School and found kids playing on the grass and on wooden equipment. He smiled and walked across the grass towards the jungle gym where six young kids were sitting with nothing to do.

One of the kids, a brown haired girl who was wearing a pink dress, smiled at Jason as he approached, "Hi Mr. Scott," she said in a kind voice. "I'm Kimberly Hart; are you our new Phys Ed teacher?"

"Yes, I am," Jason replied in a gentle voice, remembering the persona Alpha had given him. "Hello."

Young Kimberly smiled and looked to the boy wearing a red shirt and jean shorts, "Jason, maybe Mr. Scott can help you and Malcolm with your problem," she said, giving her friend a reassuring smile.

"What's your problem, Jason?" Jason asked as he looked at his younger self. "Maybe I can help you."

Young Jason frowned, "It's not my problem, it's Malcolm's," he replied, gesturing to the boy next to him; Young Malcolm was dressed in overalls and a white shirt. "He's sad because my dad and his dad fight."

Before Jason, who suddenly realized that he was there not long before Malcolm's family moved away from Angel Grove, could reply, Rito appeared in the middle of the playground brandishing his bone sword and cackling at all the children menacingly. Jason immediately gathered the five behind him.

"Mister Scott, can you take us to the dojo?" Young Zack suddenly spoke up. "It's scary here."

Young Malcolm nodded, "My daddy can protect us there and if that bony guy tries to hurt us, Jason's dad drives ambulances!" he said in an excited voice. "You should tell Miss Appleby about that scary…"

"Mister Scott, there you are!" a younger Miss Appleby said as she suddenly came running out of the school towards him and the kids, trying to get to him through the kids running into the school.

Jason smiled as Miss Appleby approached, "Mister Scott, could you please evacuate these children to the dojo next door?" she asked in a harried voice. "I have to help the other teachers calm the other children. When everything's clear, I'll phone Master Lee Scott at the dojo and let him know."

"Of course I can," Jason replied, relieved that he would soon have Malcolm to help him. "Come on kids."

Rito let out a roar of fury, "You're not going anywhere!" he yelled. "Your battle is with me!"

Thinking that this was some high school prankster celebrating Halloween early, Miss Appleby hurried over to Rito and slapped his face, "You just hold it right there, young man!" she snapped. "This is an elementary school and your childish prank has gone far enough! Wait until I call your parents!"

As Miss Appleby continued to lecture the bewildered Rito, Jason quickly ushered the six kids across the playground towards the gate. Suddenly, Young Kimberly fell on the rocks hard and began to cry loudly.

"Owwie!" Young Kimberly cried as she suddenly felt pain in her ankle. "Mr. Scott, my ankle hurts."

Rito suddenly knocked over Miss Appleby and came towards Jason and the kids, "Let's have a race, okay kids?" Jason suggested as he carefully scooped up Young Kimberly in his arms. "We're all gonna see who can beat that bony guy to the dojo. Everyone pick a buddy and ready, get set, and go! Run really fast!"

All of the children grabbed hands and quickly ran out of the school yard, "Mister Scott, run!" Miss Appleby said in a frantic voice even though she was injured. "I'll try and find out who he is!"

"Your job is to protect Kimberly from being kidnapped by Rito. Do not do anything except protect Kimberly, as any little thing could alter the present." Zordon's voice echoed in Jason's mind as he reluctantly turned and ran out of the schoolyard with Young Kimberly in his arms. As much as he wanted to make sure Ms. Appleby was okay, he had to stay focused on protecting Young Kimberly from Rito.

Angel Grove Dojo – 1987

"Greetings, Mister Lee," Malcolm suddenly heard a voice say as he finished setting up several blue mats for the young martial arts students to learn their moves on. "You're early, which is a very good sign."

Malcolm turned and was shocked to see a younger version of his father standing there in a black karategi and slippers with his hair cropped above his ears, "Master Lee Scott, right?" he asked.

Tyler Lee Scott looked very serious for a moment and then smiled, "You can call me Tyler before the kids show up," he replied in an amused voice. "I was out getting a haircut and meeting a friend, but I guess I left this place unlocked out of habit. Anyway, know that we know each other, what do you think?"

"It's a nice dojo," Malcolm replied, gazing around at the décor. "How long have you owned it for?"

Tyler smiled, "I opened it the day after Karen and I got married," he replied in a pleasant voice. "My beautiful Karen is visually impaired and doesn't go out much, but my son comes every day after school and helps me with the classes. He's still learning himself, but I wouldn't trade Malcolm for anything."

Malcolm forced himself to keep silent and nod; he wanted so desperately to reveal his true self, but Zordon and Alpha had warned him and Jason to stay focused and not to alter any part of the past.

Suddenly, a loud crying sound could be heard and Malcolm was shocked to see Jason come into the dojo with a crying little girl in his arms and four boys and a girl following after him, "Daddy!" Malcolm suddenly heard his younger self say. "Some bony guy attacked us on the playground and Miss Appleby is yelling at him so Mister Scott could get us here to you. Kimberly fell on the rocks and hurt her ankle!"

"Mister Lee, keep an eye on these kids while I go use the phone in my office," Tyler said in a concerned voice as he watched Jason gently set the Young Kimberly on a folded pile of mats. "My brother's a paramedic and I'm sure I can talk him into coming by here with his ambulance. Besides, I need to talk to Thomas anyway about something important. Kids, listen to Mister Scott and Mister Lee, okay?"

As Tyler walked off, Malcolm looked at Jason, "Tyler's my father," he whispered. "I can't believe it."

"Malcolm, we can't reveal anything," Jason whispered. "Let's focus on helping the children."

From her place on the mats, Young Kimberly sniffled, "My ankle really hurts," she said in a scared voice.

"Don't worry, Kimberly, my daddy drives ambulances and helps people!" Young Jason said in an encouraging voice as he put an arm around his friend. "He's got bandages and medicine to help!"

Young Malcolm suddenly sniffled, "Every time our dads get together, they fight a lot," he said in an upset voice. "Whenever they fight, I get stomachaches and throw up. I just wanna go home."

"Guys, let's work on the moves Master Lee Scott taught us during our class yesterday," Young Zack suddenly spoke up as Young Malcolm lay on the mats beside Kimberly with a hand on his stomach.

Young Trini nodded and followed Young Zack over to the mats Malcolm had set up. As they began working on some moves, Jason and Malcolm walked over to where Young Jason was trying to keep Young Malcolm and Young Kimberly calm, "When I was little, Malcolm, I felt the same way when my family used to fight," Malcolm said in a gentle voice as he sat next to his younger self on the mats.

"I just want my daddy and Jason's daddy to stop fighting," Malcolm whispered. "Fighting is really bad."

Malcolm nodded, but before he could reply, Rito came running into the dojo brandishing his bone sword at the kids, "Time to play!" Rito cackled as he approached the kids. "I want to play with you, kiddies!"

"Nobody messes with my friends!" Young Jason said as he did a jump and landed in front of where Young Malcolm and Young Kimberly were. "Mister Scott, can you help Malcolm and Kimberly?"

Jason quickly hurried over to his younger self, "All I want is Kimberly!" Rito yelled in an anxious voice.

"What on earth is going on here?" Tyler Lee Scott asked as he came back into the main area and saw Rito intent on terrorizing the children and his helpers. "I don't allow high school pranksters here."

Rito scoffed and suddenly began to flicker, "ARGH, my power is draining!" he roared angrily.

"Better luck next time, Rito," Jason said in an amused voice. "You have obviously failed this time."

Again, Rito flickered and he groaned, "Darn energy depletion!" he moaned, quickly disappearing.

"I heard that a little girl was hurt," a younger Thomas Lee Scott said as he suddenly walked into the dojo wearing his paramedic uniform and holding a medical kit. "Jason, what are you doing out of school?"

Tyler sighed, "Some prankster in a skeleton costume came to the school and scared them all off the playground," he explained. "Thankfully one of their teachers, Mister Scott, helped them get here and he carried Kimberly because she couldn't walk. My apprentice, Mister Lee, helped protect the children."

"Ah, let's see your ankle, Kimberly," Thomas said in a gentle voice as he walked over to where she was sitting with her ankle in the air. "Oh, sweetie, it's already starting to swell up and bruise. Hang on."

As Thomas examined Young Kimberly's ankle, Jason moved over to where Malcolm was standing, "As I walked on to the playground, I remembered that this wasn't long before your dad sold his dojo and moved your family to Crystal Valley," he whispered to Malcolm. "It was on this day that…"

"The big fight," Malcolm replied in a whisper, his heart suddenly sinking. "I remember it very well."

Jason sighed, "We can't get involved and we can't do anything about it," he said, knowing how much it would hurt Malcolm to leave this situation as it was. "I know you wish it were different, Malcolm, and so do I, but it's not; we have to go back to the present now that Rito has failed in his mission. Let's go."

"Mister Lee, perhaps you can show me out of the dojo?" Jason asked in a gentle voice. "I should get back to the school and see how the other kids are doing. I hope you feel better soon, Kimberly."

Tyler nodded and smiled, "See you at class, Mr. Lee," he said in a gentle voice as he turned away.

"Thomas, would you and your family like to come to dinner tonight?" Malcolm heard Tyler ask in a gentle voice. "It's been a while and Karen's got these new Braille paintings she wants to share…"

Jason gently tapped Malcolm on the shoulder and Malcolm reluctantly followed Jason out of the main area and into the empty hallway, "I remember that my dad sold this place to Ernie and it became a Juice Bar after we moved away," Malcolm said as he pulled the watch out and held it in his palm. "Ready?"

Before Jason could get his watch out, however, Tyler came out into the hall with two small colored triangle-shaped stones in his hands, "Mister Scott, Mister Lee, thank you for keeping the children safe from that prankster," he said as he handed the triangles to both of them. "These are spirit stones that I found when I went camping with Thomas once and I want you two to have them for your courage."

"Thank you," Malcolm replied in a gentle voice, relieved for one last moment with his father.

Tyler smiled, bowed, and hurried back into the main area, "Let's go home," Malcolm said in a quiet voice as he caressed the stone in one hand and the watch in the other. "Let's go before I change my mind."

"Zordon will want to know about these stones," Jason replied as he pulled out his watch. "Let's go!"

A tear fell from Malcolm's eye as he and Jason teleported out of the dojo, back to the present day.

What have I done? Katherine thought as she appeared in the hospital hallway outside of Tommy's room and through the small window she saw Adam, Laura, Billy, and Dr. Oliver gathered around a hospital bed where Tommy lay asleep and hooked up to several IV's and a heart monitor. Did I hurt him that badly?

Fighting the urge to throw up, Katherine moved away from the door and forced herself to move down the hallway towards the elevator. She had been under Rito Revolto's spell and his forcing her to try and hurt the Power Rangers had caused her to put Tommy in the hospital in very serious condition.

"Katherine?" David asked as he suddenly came out of the room where Mark was resting and saw her.

Katherine suddenly looked concerned, "David, what are you doing here?" she asked. "Where's Mark?"

"Mark fainted from some sort of shock," David replied gently, relieved to see that Katherine's eyes were no longer glazed over and she seemed all right. "Are you feeling better now, Katherine? You kind of…"

Katherine nodded and tears suddenly came to her eyes, "David, I don't know what got into me earlier," she said, struggling to keep her emotions in check. "I hope you and Mark can eventually forgive me."

David nodded and gently put an arm around Kat, "Mark's been asking for you," he said as he led Kat into the hospital room where Mark was resting on a hospital bed in his street clothes. "Mark? Kat's here."

Sniffling, Katherine ran over to Mark and gently hugged him, smiling when Mark returned the hug. She would make amends, one person at a time.
