Zed Part 1
One month later
Now back home and resuming classes, Peter Parker slept peacefully. His dreams were filled with a certain memory:
The day after Peter awoke
"You ok Petey?" Trini asks
"Yeah, just my arm feels kind of numb" Peter says as see notices a cast on his arm.
"Miraculously, your arm didn't sustain any critical damage but enough to cause some harm. Should consider yourself lucky... With that amount of Gamma Radiation, you would've and should've died." Bruce said as Trini smiled
"Which is why you deserve this!" Trini said as she punched him in the shoulder
"Ow!" Peter exclaimed as she kissed him.
"And saving the multiverse is why you deserved that" Trini said.
"We'll give you guys a minute." Tony said as the group exited the room.
"Look, this whole thing had me thinking about everything and-" Peter began to explain as Trini stopped him.
"Stop...as much as I didn't like what you did...you did what you thought was right. You put yourself above everyone else and that's what I love about you." Trini said holding Peter's hand.
"I brought something, and I thought you might like it?" Trini asks pulling out a black box out of her purse.
"What is it?" Peter asks as Trini opens the box revealing two rings.
"They're promise rings, I want to make a promise to you." Trini says.
"What's the promise" Peter asks as he gets up and feels some pain in his abdomen groaning in pain.
"I promise that no matter what happens that whenever we graduate, I'll be here for you, through the good and bad." Trini says as she gets choked up putting on one of the rings
"Ok...I promise that when we graduate, I'll pop a certain question although I won't tell you when and that you will never be alone. Thank you for being here for me." Peter says as he puts on the other ring.
"You'll get through this, because you're the strongest person ever and I aspire to be half the person you are. You're the kindest, sweetest and smartest person I've ever met... I love you... And this sounds cheesy, but my life would suck without you" Trini says trying to hold back tears.
"I know Trini... I finally feel like I can be proud of something." Peter says.
"You should be...you practically formed a new team." Trini said
"What?" Peter said as she pulled out a file, which Peter began to skim through "Is this what I think this is?"
"Yeah, Stark says it's all up to you...whatever you want to do!" Trini says as Peter sighs.
"I'll think about it, now I just want to rest. I'll be right here. I'm not going anywhere." Trini says as Peter lays down as smiles.
"I love you...tiger" Trini says
"I love you too! Tweety bird!" Peter says as Trini chuckles and kisses his head.
Present day
Suddenly, some small pebbles hit the window.
"What the?" Peter said in his breath as he got out of his bed and looked out the window
"Hey Petey!" Trini said as she climbed the ladder stairwell to Peter's window.
"Is everything ok?" Peter asked as Trini smiled
"Yeah, is the arm holding up?" Trini asked as Peter rubbed the back of his head.
"Yeah. Thank god for enhanced healing!" Peter said as he blushed.
"You need something Trin?" Peter asked.
"Yes, I've been having…. This nightmare and wondered if I can crash here with you?" Trini asked as Peter blushed.
"Well...sure come on in." Peter says as he helps Trini though the window.
"What was the dream?" Peter asked
"I can't explain it...it's like an odd dream" Trini says.
"Try me" Peter says.
"It was me in the woods. I was walking and suddenly, I find a snake. This snake followed me, so I ran and then I fell in a lake... It was just odd." Trini explained.
"Well, try to get some sleep Trin. Sometimes a recurring dream will go away." Peter says with a yawn before he realized something. "Um…Do your folks know you're here?"
"I told them I was going to spend the night at Kim's, and I told her I was goanna see you." Trini answers.
"I see, you can have the top bunk if you'd like." Peter says as Trini kisses Peter's cheek and climbs to the top bunk.
"Such a gentleman" Trini said as she climbed into bed.
"Thanks babe." Trini said as she closed her eyes.
"You're welcome sweetheart" Peter said as he closed his eyes.
The next morning
Trini wakes up and stretches as she woke up to a pleasant sight... Peter without a shirt. She blushes as Peter puts on his best T Shirts and heads to the kitchen for breakfast.
"Where's May?" Trini asked.
"She usually leaves early for Yoga class. Don't worry they usually last an hour." Peter answers as he makes two bowls of cereal.
"So, what's the plan today babe?" Trini asked
"Probably go on one of my famous Saturday crime patrols. Then later, maybe a special date with a very special woman." Peter answered
"Gee, I don't know who that special woman could be" Trini said playfully.
"And maybe later the rest of the Rangers, Alita and maybe Sam or Rahne can get together and hang out. Whatever y'all want to do!" Peter followed up.
"Cool! Sounds like a plan to me babe!" Trini said as Peter smiled as they finished breakfast.
An hour later
Trini and Peter (in their alter egos) are surveying NY for any criminal activity.
"Man, for a city that never sleeps, it's pretty quiet" Trini says.
"Yeah, no burglars, dealers or even monsters!" Alita says as she appears outta nowhere.
"AHHHHH" Peter and Trini shrieked as Alita's sudden appearance startles them.
"Ally...no offence but PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!" Peter shouts as Alita chuckles.
"Sorry, I was doing some recon of my own...absolutely nothing." Alita said.
"How long we're you awake?" Trini asks
"I'm an android remember; I don't require sleep... I've been up for about 10 hours now." Alita answers.
"Well, should we head back?" Peter asks
"Yeah, no action today!" Trini answers as she demorphs.
"Wanna take Air Parker my dear?" Peter asks
"Air Parker? Really?" Alita says with a chuckle
"Hey, I'm not the one who came up with it." Peter said slinging a web to a nearby building causing Alita to roll her eyes
"See you later Ally! You are goanna hang out later, right?" Trini said as she got in Peter's arm as they swung across NY. to Peter's apartment.
"Yeah!" Alita shouted
"So whatcha want to do now?" Trini asks.
"Hmm...Let's contact everyone else." Peter says
"Gotcha!" Trini says
"Hey Friday, can you contact The Rangers, Sam and Sonic?"" Peter asked his AI.
"Sure, thing Peter! Now contacting Jason, Kim, Billy, Zack, Tommy, Sonic and Sam! By the way Peter, I had previously thought my name was Karen?" Karen, Peter's AI asks
"Oh yeah! Duh! Sorry Karen!" Peter apologizes.
"Hey Pete/Peter!" Said everyone in the chat wall as Peter makes a sandwich.
"What's going on Pete? Everything ok?" Sonic asks
"Yeah, any bad guys y'all need to take down?" Sam asks
"Nah, just curious as to what you guys were up to?" Peter says as he takes a bite of his sandwich.
"Uh...well, I'm actually working on a map of what universes are out there now that we know that there are other variants of US out there! Not to mention what other universes there could potentially be!" Billy explains.
"I'm working on something for my professor. He wants us to write an essay on what it means to be a Hero." Sam explained.
"I'm not really doing anything aside from being bored. Hey Tom? Is it ok if I dash to NY? Peter and the others are on the line." Sonic asks.
"I don't see why not! You go ahead and have fun Sonic!" Tom answered as an excited Sonic dashed out of his house and his chat wall turned off.
"Ok that's one! What are you doing Kim?" Peter asked
"I was just about to head that way! I kind of want to explore NY for a bit since we're here on temporary vacation." Kim said as Peter looked out the window to see a blue blur zip by.
"K I'll see you here in a bit! Tommy what about you?" Peter asked Tommy.
"Ah, working on my dad's car, I kind of forgot to mention I'm a bit of a grease monkey." Tommy said wiping some oil off her arms.
"Are you going to be able to stop by?" Peter asked
"Yeah, I'm just about done anyway. I'll be there in a bit!" Tommy said
"Jason? Zack? What about you?" Peter asked
"I'll be there! Just got to..." Everyone stopped as Peter's apartment shook.
"What's that all about?" Trini asked
"Uh guys? Ya might want to check this out!" Alita said as Peter and Trini looked outside to see a monster, a bald man with a moustache and some sort of device and a group of soldiers made of rock terrorized the neighborhood as civilians ran screaming as the creatures threw cars and random objects around.
"Ranger and Spider level threat?" Peter asked
"Yes!" Trini said as Peter put on his Iron Spider extension. His suit materialized around him as Trini morphed into her Ranger form.
"Ally, help whoever you can, we'll handle badly and the creature from the black lagoon!" Peter said as Alita nodded
Alita, Peter and Trini landed on the ground as a rock solider threw some debris at Alita as she sliced it with the Damascus Blade
"Look, it's Spider Man and one of the Power Rangers!" One of the small children said as Peter slung a web at a nearby boulder as he slung the boulder at the creature as Alita took some civilians to safety.
"Stay right here. Call the police if you have to!" Alita said.
"Putties? How is that even possible?" Trini asked
"I don't know but I think we could use a whole team!" Peter said as he kicked the creature down as the bald man shot at him with his device.
"What the?" Trini asked as the bald man smiled as the creature got back up and shot lasers from his eyes.
"Did someone ask for a team?" Jason asked as he pulled the Saber Blaster as the rest of the team joined him as they took out some of the putties
"These are the earth rangers? And earth heroes?" The creature asked
"It talks? Big improvement from Goldar!" Kim says.
"I am Gilgamax, first in command of The Supreme Lord of all he surveys! He has constructed me to destroy all of you." Gilgamax introduced himself.
"Ok, well I don't know if you know this, but we handled a lot uglier than you!" Zack said as the creature nodded
"I know! The galaxy has heard countless tales of how you defeated Thanos, but I am not Thanos!" Gilgamax said as Peter slung a web to his face as he slung the device out of the bald man's hands.
"What does this do?" Pete asked as he pressed some buttons as he threw it in the sky as it exploded.
"Not so tough without your toys huh?" Alita said as she took her sword and took off Gilgamax's arm
Gilgamax shouted in pain as the bald man pressed some buttons.
"Where do you think you're going?" Peter asked he webbed the bald man's hands together.
"Who is that guy!" Tommy asked.
"I'm the greatest genius the world, the universe has ever known I am Dr Eggman! And when we're done with you, he will have this planet!" Dr Eggman exclaimed as the wounded Gilgamax and Eggman escaped through a well-timed beam.
"What you think he meant by "He will have this planet" Jase?" Billy asked as he looked around.
"I don't know! Let's get to Zordon, maybe he knows about what's going on!" Jason says as the group nods
"Pete, we're heading to the base. Wanna join us?" Kim asked
"Sure! I haven't seen the base in a minute!" Peter said as Trini nodded
"I'll stay here and help out, take that arm to Stark and the others" Alita said
"Where'd Sonic go?" Peter asked.
"I'm over here! One of those rock guys knocked me out cold!" Sonic says as he smiles.
"Karen is Sonic, ok?" Peter asks his AI
"Fortunately for Sonic, his injuries are minor. Mostly bruises. He'll be ok" Karen says.
"Wanna come with us Sonic?" Tommy asked.
"Sure! If it means finding out who caused all this!" Sonic said as Billy turned on his communicator.
"Hey Alpha, we need a transport for seven! We'll explain on the way!" Billy said.
"Roger that Billy! In fact, Zordon needs to speak with you!" Alpha says through the communicator.
The Rangers and their allies are engulfed in rays of light that disappear as they are teleported to the command center.
"Rangers! A potential crisis is at hand!" Zordon says as Alpha fidgets with buttons.
"Yeah, we might've figured that out about 20 minutes ago! Who is The Supreme lord over all he sees?" Trini asks
"An old adversary that apparently has resurfaced himself!" Zordon explains
"Lord Zedd!" Alpha says
"Didn't you say Thanos killed Zedd?" Kim asks
"Yes, but when Peter undid his snap, he not only brought back those who were snapped away, but he also created a new timeline! Apparently Zedd was one of many who returned! This isn't Peter's fault; however, he wouldn't have known Zedd would return." Zordon answered
"And Gilgamax?" Jason asked.
"Gilgamax is a bounty hunter! He goes through many galaxies and captures anyone for personal gain. Zedd seems to have allied himself with an earth criminal as well who he found on a distant planet in the outer reaches of space!" Alpha explained
"So, I guess we're his bounty?" Tommy asked
"Yes! Rangers and company, I'm afraid we have a possible invasion on our hands. We need to find out what Zedd is planning and stop him at all costs!" Zordon says.
"This is the real deal! Should we call Stark and the others?" Kim asks.
"I don't think Stark wants to help, after what happened over a month ago, you blame him?" Jason asks.
"Captain Marvel?" Sonic asks
"Hold on, is that...a Mobian? I haven't seen one in years!" Zordon asks moving to Sonic's side of the wall
"Oh yeah I forgot you never met Zordon yet, Sonic this is our mentor Zordon. He was the Red Ranger before Jason." Trini introduced Zordon.
"It's a pleasure! But how'd you know I'm a Mobian?" Sonic asked
"I've been to many planets in my time as a ranger Sonic. But I'm surprised a member of your planet's race made it to earth!" Zordon answers.
"It's a long story!" Sonic says
"Anyway. We'll track down Zedd anyway we can! We may have to have some help first...and I may have an idea who help us out!" Trini the group teleports out of the command center.
"Ok, Trini... What's the plan?" Zack asks
"We need to head upstate." Trini asks.
"Compound?" Jason asks
"Alita texted a lil bit ago and took Sam and Rahne with her." Kim said looking at her phone.
"Ok, let's go!" Jason says as the group started walking towards their destination as a car pulls up as the window reveals a familiar face.
"You kids need a lift?" Steve Rogers asks.
"Cap! Thank God you're here! We need help." Billy says.
"Get in, we'll talk on the way!" Steve says as they drive off"
"So, what's up?" Steve asks.
"There may be an alien invasion coming and Alita is at the compound right now with something that could help us out with tracking someone. Can you take us up there?" Jason asks
"Well coincidentally, I was asked to pick you kids up. We saw the alien you guys were dealing with and we know the guy that's with him. Stark has some ideas as well!" Steve says as they arrived at the compound.
"About time you guys made it!" Sam said.
"Hey Sam! Rahne!" Kim said as they exchanged hugs.
"It's nice to see y'all again!" Sam said
"Yeah, but we wish it was for better circumstances!" Tommy said
"We know, that's why we came to help!" Rahne said.
"Where are the others?" Peter asked
"Unfortunately, we were the only ones that the school could send." Rahne said.
"So, you FINALLY decided to go to Xaviers after all?" Zack asks
"Yeah, figured it was better than nothing." Sam said
"That's good!" Tommy said as Sam blushed.
"So, the prodigal son and friends return! So let me guess alien showed up?" Stark asks.
"Yep! Welp, we at least know who the gentleman Mr. one arm was with!" Stark says as the group enters the compound.
"Oh, Ben!" Stark says as a younger man around the ranger's age put down a comic he was reading.
"Uh, Sorry, Mr. Stark!" Ben said.
"This is Ben Tennyson. He is Mrs. Potts paid intern for Stark Industries on break from college." Stark introduces Ben as he greets the group.
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you!" Ben said as he shook Peter's hand.
"Likewise." Peter said as he noticed an interesting device on his wrist.
"That's a nice watch!" Peter says.
"Oh...thanks! Gift from my grandpa!" Ben says as Trini nods.
"Ok, Underoos and friends. Please follow me. I have some leads to our lil friends here." Stark said as Friday (Tony's AI) pulled up some news feed of the battle as it zooms in on the face of Dr Eggman
"Wait...I know that guy!" Sonic says.
"You do?" Peter asks
"Yeah, he's the creep who tried to kill me and try to take my power! Although he was known as Dr Robotnik! I guess he decided to change his name!" Sonic said
"Wow... So, one of us has somewhat ties to this guy!" Steve says
"He may be a moron but he's still super dangerous! He makes technology that rivals that of yours Tony!" Sonic says.
"Well, regardless of that, we need to find out more! If we find him. We find this Gilgamax guy." Tony said as Friday took the feed down.
"Friday, run a face scan on Dr Ivo Robotnik and as soon as he shows his face, give us his exact coordinates." Stark told his AI
"Already on its boss!" Friday said.
"In the meantime, Ben, I want you to take our friends here and do a mini stakeout but be discreet. We don't know where this guy might pull up!" Steve says as Ben nodded.
"I'll call my ride and see what we can pull off!" Ben says as the group looks at each other as he puts on his green jacket.
"You kids let us know what's up and we'll head that way!" Steve says.
"No prob Cap! We got this!" Billy says.
"Ok, my ride will be here in 5 minutes!" Ben says as the group heads outside.
