THE END or TBC...by someone else.

Zordon smiled at all 12 assembled Rangers, but then his expression once again became serious as he told them about Dark Spectre's plans to destroy the universe, and the fact that Astronema was not really evil at all, instead it was the result of a spell cast on her a long time ago, by Dark Spectre.
"You mean, Dark Spectre kidnapped her as a child and then did all of this to her?" Andros, the new Red Lightstar Ranger asked, his mind flashing back to a horrible point in his own childhood, when his sister, Karone, was kidnapped.
"Yes, Andros. He had Darkonda snatch her from you and your parents, and..."
"Wait a minute! Are you saying that Astronema is really Andros' own sister? What'd he do, wipe out her entire family history & personality?" a very disgusted Jason Lee Scott frowned.
"Yes, Jason. The spell was just like the one cast on..." Zordon started.
"...on me. However, Zordon was finally able to break it, and now, if you'll have me, I'll be more than willing to help you." a voice spoke up. The Rangers turned to see the owner of the voice... LORD ZEDD!!!
"Yes, Rangers, Zedd is now back on the side of the light, and more than willing to help us stop and free Astronema as well." Zordon finished.
"This was the form that I used to access the powers of darkness. Now that I have forsaken them, I no longer need this." With that, a rainbow colored cloud surrounded him, and when it cleared, he was in the form of a lion, and walked into the Command Center.
"Why are you in this form? Is this your natural body?" Billy Cranston asked their once archenemy.
"No. It has been so long that I no longer remember what my true form is. This is the form that allows me access to the powers of the light side of the Grid." Zedd told him.
Kat Hilliard spoke up. "In any case, good to have you on our side. Now, where do we start?"
"We rescue Dmitria, and Astronema, then create a new Zeo team. The Zeo Crystal is repaired & fully charged, but now the green crystal is now black. Otherwise, it is ready for use. One side effect, the black crystal now will make the 4th Zeo ranger a Black Ranger as well." Zordon told them. "First things first, however. They are holding both Dmitria & Alpha 5 on the moon."
"In my old castle. Odds are, Rita & Goldar will be waiting for you, along with some traps & monsters. Are you sure you want to do this?" Zedd asked.
All the Rangers had the same thing to say. When do we start?
"Immediately. Your Zords are fully charged and ready for you. Good luck, and may the Power Protect you all." Zordon spoke, with Zedd adding his wishes.
"OK, guys, IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Tommy shouted.
"LET'S ROCKET!" Andros yelled.
"TIGERZORD!"
"MASTODON!"
"PTERODACTYL!"
"TRICERATOPS!"
"SABRETOOTH TIGER!"
"TYRRANOSAURUS!"
"RED LIGHTSTAR POWER!"
"SILVER LIGHTSTAR POWER!"
"BLACK LIGHTSTAR POWER!"
"BLUE LIGHTSTAR POWER!"
"PINK LIGHTSTAR POWER!"
"YELLOW LIGHTSTAR POWER!"
The 12 Rangers shot out in 2 Red, 2 Pink, 2 Black, 2 Blue, 2 Yellow, 1 White, & 1 Silver rays of light towards the Astromegaship, then to the moon. Alpha 6 said it for everyone. "Good luck, Power Rangers. ______________________________________________________________________
"If we're going to do any good, we'd better split up. We'll take care of Darkonda & the rest of the creeps, you rescue Dmitria & Astronema. Good luck, guys!" Andros told everyone.
"Go get 'em, guys, and give 'em hell!" Jason shouted. On that note, the Morphin Rangers charged the castle, fighting both Quantrons & Putties as they did.
Zack was charged. "Let's take these beasts!"
"You got it, Zack! Hey, putties, eat arrow-taser!" Kimberly grinned. The Pink Ranger fired arrow after arrow, all shots perfect.
Trini giggled at her 2 fellow Rangers reaction to being back in the thick of things again, then brought everyone back to reality. "Hey, guys, Dmitria & Astronema dead ahead. Time to go to work, gang, 'cause now, it's getting real." ______________________________________________________________________
While this was happening, Darkonda had unleashed a new monster, the Mummitron, a mummy with the ability to mummify his opponents. Darkonda only said one thing: "RIP THEM TO PIECES!!"
"It shall be done." growled Mummitron, who then started after the team at the castle, but didn't notice the Lightstar Rangers until it was too late. Zhane slammed into the monster with his Galaxy Glider, and followed up with a powerful slice with his SuperSilverizer. "Happy Birthday, yutz!" Zhane smiled.
"AAAARGHH! I will put you out of your misery! It is now time to grow!"
Zhane and the others were ready for him, however. "Hey guys, MegaVoyager ready yet?"
"Ready & waiting. Just bring him here." Kat grinned.
"On my way! HEY UGLY! YOU'RE SLOW & STUPID! CAN'T CATCH ME!" Zhane goaded the Mummitron into following him into their trap. "Come on, grandma, you can do better than that!" Zhane continued teasing it. ______________________________________________________________________
Back on Earth, Trini's transmission came in as clear as a bell. "Zordon, Zedd, we've found both Dmitria & Astronema, but Magneto is guarding them, and he's already at King Kong size."
"Your zords are ready, call on all of them, and may the power protect you all." Zordon told them.
Jason heard Zordon's instructions and shouted "LET'S SHOW THEM THE POWER OF THUNDER!"
"MASTADON-LION THUNDERZORD POWER!"
"PTERODACTYL-FIREBIRD THUNDERZORD POWER!"
"TRICERATOPS-UNICORN THUNDERZORD POWER"
"SABRETOOTH TIGER-GRIFFIN THUNDERZORD POWER!"
"I NEED WHITE TIGER POWER NOW!"
"TYRRANOSAURUS-RED DRAGON THUNDERZORD POWER!"
All 6 ThunderZords appeared right there & then. "No preliminaries, people, let's bring 'em together! Log on!" Jason shouted.
"2 things the Lion likes to do: Drink Pepsi & kick ass, and it's all out of Pepsi!" Zack shouted as his zord came together with Jason's.
"WHO PUT THIS PHIL COLLINS TAPE IN THE FIREBIRD'S STEREO?" Kimberly shouted. Realisation dawning, she frowned "Alpha, why?!?"
As the Firebird joined the others, Trini added "Count your blessings, Kim. Mine has...Bonnie Raitt. Ugh." The Griffin quickly joined the others.
"Let's do it guys. Me, I really gotta talk to Alpha. I asked for Shania Twain, I get Garth Brooks. YUCK!" Billy finished as the Unicorn joined the others, forming the MegaThunderZord.
As Tommy's Tigerzord formed into Warrior mode, he shouted "If Magneto thinks he's gonna nail us, he must be out of whatever he calls a mind! Let's put him out of his misery!"
"TIGERZORD, FOLLOW MY EVERY MOVE!" The zord then dropkicked Magneto in the chest, followed by 5 quick punches, as what Tommy was doing inside the Zord.
"He's weakened, guys, go for it!" Tommy bellowed.
"Let's do it, guys! THUNDERSABRE, ENGAGE!" Jason shouted.
One swift slashlater, Magneto was nothing but spare parts for a washing machine. "Now, lets get both Dmitria & Astronema and get the hell out of here!" Jason shouted. ______________________________________________________________________
MegaVoyager was ready & waiting for Mummitron. "Hope you like being suckered, sucker, now you're toast! HE'S ALL YOURS, GUYS!" Zhane bellowed.
Rocky took to being the new Blue Lightstar Ranger like nothing at all. "Now, let's nail this turkey!"
"I wanna see how this creep likes a Mgakick!" Kat shouted. It didn't, growling in extreme pain and doubling over.
"DOUBLE ROCKET PUNCH!" Adam & Tanya both yelled, sending the AstroMegaZord's fists flying towards Mummitron, adding to his pain. Weakened beyond reason, the monster could barely stand , let alone pose any kind of threat.
"Let's finish this! MEGAMISSLE, ENGAGE!" Andros shouted. The missle fired, blowing the monster to Kingdom Come. All 6 Lightstar Rangers gave a triumphant cheer. Also happy were the Morphin Rangers, who came over the horizon with both Dmitria & Astronema. "Thing is, we kinda had to restrain Astry here. Shall we go?" Zack asked, doing an almost letter-perfect British accent.
"Sounds good to me. Let's book!" Zhane smiled. ______________________________________________________________________
At the Command Center, Astronema was restrained in a field of energy. "YOU CAN'T KEEP ME HERE LIKE THIS! I WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU! I WILL..." She was screaming like that until she saw "...ZORDON!"
"I've also caught this gentleman." Zedd walked in with Ecliptor in front of him. "I always thought you had too much honor to willingly serve the forces of evil."
"I did so to protect Astronema from Darkonda's clutches, nothing more, although I have thrown away any chance I had for my own personal peace." Ecliptor stated.
"TRAITOR!"
"Astronema, what I say is the truth. He stole you from your family, brainwashed you, and put you on this path. Now, the Rangers can free you from that spell, if you let them. Please, my Princess, it is for your own good." Ecliptor finished.
"From what I remember, in my case, it was my Z-staff that was the focus of my spell after a year or 2. From what I see, the same holds true for Astronema." Zedd told them.
"In that case, let's go for it!" Jason shouted. As Tommy grabbed the staff from the protesting Astronema, Jason, Kim, Zack, Trini, & Billy quickly formed their weapons into the MegaBlaster. Once the staff was on the floor, they fired a quick blast. At the same time, Tommy aimed Saba onto the staff and fired a blast of his own.
Dmitria & Zordon each trained a beam of light onto the staff.
Ecliptor fired a beam of his own.
Zedd shot a blast of purple light from his eyes onto the staff.
The Lightstar Rangers fired a blast from their QuadraBlaster on the staff.
The staff couldn't take all that power, and quickly exploded. The spell was then broken, Astronema was gone and in her place stood...
"KARONE!" Andros shouted happily, and ran to hug his sister.
Karone returned the hug just as joyfully. "Andros, what happened to me? What have I done?" she asked, as her memories fully returned.
"Karone, it wasn't your fault. You were brainwashed by an evil force. Now, you have a chance to be in control of your life again." Andros told her.
Zordon spoke up then. "Andros, there is a way for your sister to make up for her past. There is a purple digimorpher, is there?"
"Yes, we do have one." Andros grinned, knowing where this was leading to.
Karone smiled "I'll do it, gladly. Thank you for helping me. I won't let any of you down."
"Great to have you aboard." Tanya smiled warmly. Kat, Rocky, & Adam agreed, and Zhane winked at her.
Zordon spoke again "Morphin Rangers, welcome home. I am once again very proud of all of you. You have again come through a major battle with flying colors. However, Rita & her cronies may be returning with Master Vile taking Lord Zedd's place. But, we also will soon have a new advantage. I have finally found the Purple Stegasaurus Coin, which will create a Purple Ranger, which we must soon find. She will be an asset to the Morphin team."
"She?" Billy asked.
"Yes, Billy. Unlike the other Power Coins, which can be used by either male or female, for some reason the Purple coin can only be used by women.
"I've got the PERFECT candidate! A good friend of mine from Florida, just moved here recently, Cindy Roberts. She'd be fantastic!" Kimberly squealed.
"You think she'll go for it?" Zack asked.
"Well, I'll teleport to her apartment and ask. I think she'd make a great addition to the team."
Zordon resumed his speech. "Kimberly, you may contact Cindy. Also, the Machine Empire has joined forces with Rita, thus making it urgent that the Zeo team be reactivated. The Zeo crystal, and its subdivisions have been fully charged, and are ready for use, with one major change. The Green Zeo Crystal has changed, and is now Black. Otherwise, it should operate as before." Zordon finished.
"We need to find new wielders for the crystals. I think my cousin Kai could make a great candidate." Trini spoke up.
"I met 2 people who I think would be cool. Ashley Hammond & Cassie Chan. They'd be great." Jason added.
"I think we should ask Justin if he wants to be a Ranger again. He'd jump at the chance." Tommy told them.
"Well, let's call them up here, shall we?" Billy said. ______________________________________________________________________
Cindy Roberts had just left her apartment and was heading for her car, when Kimberly ran up to her. "CINDY, WAIT!"
"Hey, Kim. What's going on?"
Taking Cindy's hand and putting the Purple Stegasaurus coin in her hand, Kim said "I've got some explaining to do, and an offer to make you." ______________________________________________________________________
Soon, she and 4 other newcomers, Cassie Chan, Ashley Hammond, Kai Chen, & Justin Stewart arrived, and Zordon asked them to join them in their fight against the forces of evil. Cassie was stunned. "Are you kidding? I'd love it!"
Cindy smiled. I'd be honored. It doesn't suprise me that Kim's a Ranger. I hope I'm worthy of this.
Kim gave her a very supportive hug. "You always were."
Ashley grinned. "Count me in."
It's gonna be great to be back!" Justin smiled.
Kai, however, looked at everyone and said "Guys, this is a great chance and all, but I have to say no. Yesterday, I got an offer to go on Terra Venture colony. My training starts in 2 weeks. Sorry."
Trini hugged her cousin. "I know how much you wanted this. Good luck.
"Thanks. Take care of the Earth for me. I'd love for it and you to be here when I get back. Good luck." Kai told her.
"Now that you've broken away from the dark forces, where will you go to now?" Karone asked Ecliptor.
To my own dimension, home. You will be in the best of hands now. Farewell, my Princess." he told her, then vanished.
"It looks like we still need to find 3 more members for the new Zeo team." Kimberly finished.
"I've got a feeling we'll find them soon. They'll be in action before you know it." Zack offered.
"OK, guys, let's do it!" Jason yelled.
Zordon, Dmitria, Zedd, & Alpha 6 looked on with pride as Tommy, Jason, Kimberly, Zack, Trini, Billy,
Cindy, Kat, Tanya, Rocky, Adam, Andros, Zhane, Karone, Cassie, Ashley, & Justin put their hands
together, then jumped into the air, shouting.......
Dedicated to the memory of Duke Brown (1975-1999). One of the coolest people I've met on the Internet. May the Power Protect You, now and forever.
