PROLOGUE............................................................
Dark Spectre looked pleased. Zordon, Dmitria, and their forces on Eltare were captured, and he was poised to rule. The only fly in his ointment were the new Lightstar Rangers. They could cause serious trouble for him if allowed. "Bring me the mind-drain, now!" he bellowed
He was about to drain Zordon of his knowledge and his power. This was doomed from the start because...1. It never occured to him that the wizard was merely biding his time until this moment, and 2. He didn't know Zordon would have hidden resources ready and waiting. Dark Spectre's good mood was about to go down the drain.
"Now, old friend, is the winter of your discontent, for I..." It was as far as he had gotten. He was soon blinded by a light in it's purest form.
"NO! The pure light of goodness! Zordon, I'll destroy you yet, damn you!
"Pitiful fool, your plans were doomed from the start. You and your evil will soon come to an end, I will PERSONALLY see to that! and with that, Zordon vanished from their dimension.
Soon, the Eltarian wizard was over Phaedos, coming to the mine where the vein of gold was that forged the original 6 Power Coins was first found. Quickly concentrating, he soon had six gold coins, each the size of a silver dollar, then, with a quick connection to the Morphin Grid by incantation, he then put the following symbols on each coin: Mastadon, Pterodactyl, Sabretooth Tiger, Triceratops, White Tiger, & Tyrranosaurus. Encasing them in a glittering box, he then sent them on a voyage to the AstroMegaShip. "They should reach them before I reach the Earth. I must reestablish the Command Center once I am there, I feel we will soon be needed. We must still rescue Dmitria.
2 days later, Tanya Sloan, the Yellow Lightstar Ranger, was patrolling the Gamma Quadrant, when she came upon the box Zordon sent. Taking it back to the ship, she and the other Rangers discovered the coins. Alpha 6 waqs excited. "This means that Zordon has escaped! He has created new power coins!"
Tommy Oliver, the Red Lightstar Ranger was also pleased. "Hopefully, we'll be hearing from Zordon soon."
An alarm blared at Nasada. The Rangers teleported there to discover the cause of the trouble, and discovered a new monster calling himself Brain-Drain, who was draining the scientists of their knowledge. "Astronema should be pleased. We should...WAIT! We seem to have..."
"6 EXTREMELY TICKED OFF RANGERS READY TO TRASH YOU AND YOUR FELLOW SCUMBAGS! Let's get 'em, guys!" Zhane, the Silver Lightstar Ranger shouted. Within seconds, a major fight was taking place. Adam Park, the Black Lightstar Ranger, was trashing Quantrons left & right. "Come on, ladies, is that the best you can do?" he goaded.
Andros & Kat Hilliard, the Blue & Pink Lightstar Rangers, were both making catfood out of a group of Quantrons, when Brain-Drain clamped a hand on each one. "You're mine now, kiddies!" he chuckled. He would soon regret it.
"Hey, ugly! Care to dance?" Adam threw himself through the air, Power punch aimed & ready, nailing the monster.
"You stopped me this time, but I will be BACK!" he snarled, before vanishing in a hail of glittering green.
"Great work, Adam." Tommy told him.
"Yeah, great." he frowned, then vanished
"What got into him?" Zhane asked.
Back at the MegaShip, Adam looked out at the vast universe from the observation window, looking like he just lost his best friend. Tanya was standing behind him and asked "What's bothering you? You've been like this for the past 2 weeks."
"I'm sorry, Tanya. It's just that lately, everything that I've done, and done well, it's as the Black Ranger. When I took Zack's place..."
"Zack?"
"The original Black Ranger. From there to Green Zeo, to this. These days, when I do something as plain Adam Park, it goes down in flames. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm anything without my other self."
"Don't think like that! Don't you EVER think like that! Without or with, you are a good, kind person who cares for his students and his friends & family. You are a success where it really counts!"
Adam looked at her. "Thanks Tanya. I just wish I could accept that. And with that, he teleported back down to Earth.
Soon, Adam was in the park, taking in the beautiful day. It was ruined, however, by the return of Brain-Drain, who was trying to snatch children from their parents, trying for their energy.
Reaching for his digimorpher, Adam soon changed his mind, thinking -No, not this time. Win or lose, this is Adam's fight.- He then charged into the clearing, flying kick at the ready, kicking him right into the jaw, while yelling back to the bystanders "EVERYONE, GET OUT OF HERE, NOW!" Once the spectators were gone, the fight was on.
Adam gave the fight everything he had, and had the upper hand, until unexpectedly, Brain-Drain lashed out with a deadly kick. Adam avoided it, but was soon nailed by a unseen bodyslam, which put him at the monster's mercy. "Big mistake, trying to take me on, human! It will be your last!"
Not too far from the fight, however, a young black male, dressed in black jeans and a very colorful shirt, watched the fight with growing concern. Thinking to himself -Man, why didn't he morph? Well, I'll find out later. Right now, time for the cavalry!- Charging into view with his own version of Adam's kick, he shouted "TIME TO JAM! KYAH!"
Scoring with the kick, he then followed with 6 quick punches, then did a move that could only be described as half dance, half martial arts. Adam took one look at the young man in action. He didn't really know him that well, but he knew only one ex-Ranger could move like that. "ZACK!"
Zack flipped the monster into a pile of empty garbage cans. "Need a hand, man?" he asked, smiling as he offered his hand.
"You bet, thanks." Together, the 2 sent Brain-Drain packing. Adam grinned, asking "When did you get back from Switzerland?"
"Trini & I finished our obligations to them almost 4 weeks ago. She's still got a few things to finish up, then, as of next Wednesday, she's back for good, too. Getting back to business, why didn't you morph before you took on big, brown, & ugly?" Zack frowned.
Adam quickly explained about the past 2 weeks, and why he felt that he had to do that. Suprisingly, he understood. "Still, I wouldn't go up against something like that without some safeguards. Jason, maybe, but... What I'm trying to say is that I do understand why you did that. I think we've all felt that way at one time or another. The difference is in what you do about it."
Adam smiled slightly. Maybe, but I still feel that I need to prove to myself that I'm as good as my...other self."
Any more conversation they could have had on the subject was interrupted by the return of Brain-Drain, along with a bunch of Quantrons. Adam frowned "Oh, great, my digimorpher's still in my bag! I was about to use it when I had my brainstorm."
"Go get it! I'll do my best with Murky Brown over here 'til you get back. GO!" Zack shouted.
Adam had just reached his digimorpher when he saw Zack reach into his back pocket, where he kept his old morpher. Adam knew what he was about to do, and what could happen to him. "NO, ZACK! DON'T DO IT!"
Quickly whipping the old morpher in front of him, Zack yelled, "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"
On the Megaship, the Rangers were alerted by Adam about what was going on, when they noticed that the new Mastadon coin had begun to glow a black aura, then shot out of the display case, out of the ship, and towards Earth, where the fight was going on.
Kat looked thoughtful. "You don't think...."
True & straight as an arrow, the new coin homed in on the morpher in Zack's hands. Knocking out the old coin, it took it's place in the morpher, instantaneously repairing it until it looked showroom new. then...
"MASTODON!"
In a flash of black light, Zack was once more in his old outfit as the Black Morphin Ranger. "In the groove, and ready to move! Eat knuckle sandwich, ugly!" he shouted, and gave Brain-Drain one hell of a right.
Adam, meanwhile, had just rescued 2 young girls and made sure they got back to their mother, and decided to join Zack in action. This helped Adam feel a lot better about himself in a while. Quickly using his digimorpher, Adam yelled "LET'S ROCKET!" transforming into the Black Lightstar Ranger.
5 flashes of colored light appeared, and the other Lightstar Rangers were on the scene. In seconds, the Quantrons were history, and Brain-Drain was up against the ropes.
In her spaceship, Astronema was definitely not pleased. "2 Black Rangers? HELL NO! FIRE THE SATTELASERS!"
Brain-Drain has soon grown to the size of the Empire State Building. "Now try something, puny Rangers!"
Zack started to step back when a voice in his head said he could still call on a zord. After concentrating, he shouted:
MASTADON-LION THUNDERZORD POWER!
A rumbling sound soon filled the air, as the Lion Thunderzord made an appearence, looking showroom new. Leaping in, Zack yelled, "IN THE GROOVE, READY TO MOVE!"
The Lightstar Rangers followed suit, shouting "WE NEED ASTROMEGAZORD POWER, NOW!"
Once formed, the AstroMegaZord rode on the back of the Lion Thunderzord at top speed. Andros yelled "SABRE, ENGAGE!"
At the speed the sabre was going, the strike was almost 4 times as deadly to monsters. Brain-Drain never had a chance.
After this, Astronema only yelled "DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!" after which anything else she said was pretty much unprintable.
Back on the Megaship, Tommy, Kat, Tanya, Zhane, & Andros were in the cargo bay, waiting for both Adam & Zack. "Now, it's just seeing if all the originals will return." Kat said calmly.
Adam and their guest of honor walked in right then. "Sorry we're late. Zack's teaching me the Hip-Hop-Kido.
"He learns fast. What's up guys?" Zack asked.
Andros told him "We took what was left of your old coin and incorporated it into a special digimorpher, so you can have access to this..."
Everyone stood back to reveal a black Galaxy Glider with a print of the Mastodon coin on the front. Tommy grinned "This is yours, old buddy. You're reserve, but in any case, it's great to have you back!"
Man, it's great to be back! I missed the action, but most of all, I missed my friends!
Adam grinned. "Thanks, Zack. You helped me realise that I'm the full sum of my parts. The power of the Rangers didn't make me. I made me, and I should be proud.
"Thanks, Adam, all of you. If you ever need me, I'll be there.
Soon, all seven Rangers put their hands together and jumped up into the air, shouting.... POWER RANGERS!
