Blue No More
By Jason Festa

Part I: Scattered

It was a beautiful Sunday morning in Angel Grove, and all was quiet. For once, it was very cool outside. For the past week, the highest recorded temperature was 75 degrees. People in Angel Grove began to accept the Syber Soldiers' presence almost as soon as they had the Power Rangers. Although there were still people who thought that the Soldiers were up to no good, many more people believed in them, simply because the Power Rangers trusted them. In a nearby church, the sermon was ending, and people began to come out the doors. Among them were Kimberly and JC.

"That made no sense, at all," JC said as they walked down the steps.

"What?" Kim asked.

"The way those people acted. Whenever the choir began to sing, they would get up and start dancing in the aisles!" JC said.

"It's called, 'being filled with the holy spirit,'" Kimberly informed him.

"No, it's called, 'tripping out,'" JC said. Kimberly giggled.

"You are too much!" Kim stated.

"And what was the deal with worshiping this big God?" JC asked. Kim stopped.

"Don't you have a God that you worship?" Kim said.

"The only person we ever worshiped was Syberia," JC said, sadly.

"Humans, well, most humans, believe that there is this one God who is responsible for all creation. He's supposed to be all mighty, and powerful." Kim said. JC glared at her, not convinced. They approached her car, and she unlocked her door.

"Here." She tossed her Bible across the roof, and JC caught it. "Read this, when you get a chance, it explains most of it." She climbed in the car, and so did he. They both strapped on their seat belts.

"They really believe that one guy created all life?" JC asked.

"Not a guy, a god," Kim clarified.

"That's screwy," JC said. He was thrown back in his seat as Kim revved the engine, and went soaring onto the highway.

As Kim opened her front door, she threw her keys on the table next to her. JC came stumbling in after her.

"Did you have to drive so fast?" JC asked.

"Hmm, yeah." Kim giggled. " Alysa, Sanchez, you guys here?" Kim called upstairs.

"They must have gone out," JC said.

"Which leaves us all alone," Kim said as she wrapped her arms around JC's neck.

"You know, we'll have to tell the guys about us sometime. We can't hide it for too much longer," JC said as he gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"Eventually," Kim said as she pulled JC down to her and began to kiss him. Suddenly, the phone rang.

"I knew that would happen," JC said. Kim picked up the phone.

"Hello? …Yeah, he's here. You wanna talk to him? …Oh, all right, where are you guys? …The beach? Again? I'm beginning to think that I moved you guys into the wrong house! …Ummm, hang on, I'll ask JC." She put the phone down. "You wanna go to the beach?"

"Absolutely! But only if you wear that tight pink bikini!" JC grinned.

"Pervert!" Kim said as she picked the phone back up. "We'll be there in a few minutes. …All right, see ya!" She hung up the phone. "Now where were we?" She asked as she put her arms around JC's neck again.

"Right about here," JC said as he kissed her. They didn't stop.

At Angel Grove Beach, the air smelled more salty than usual. The waves were crashing upon the shore heavier than usual as well. Dimitria had accredited the many changes to Syberia's ship, orbiting the planet. Even with all of the weirdness happening to the Earth, the beach was flooded with people. Among these people were Tommy, Alysa, and Sanchez. They were gathered on the shore, by the rocks. Alysa was sunbathing on one of the rocks, and Tommy and Sanchez were sparring on the sand. At present, Tommy and Sanchez were involved in a very elaborate kata. Then, they went into a fight. Tommy lashed out with his right leg, and it flew past Sanchez' head, coming within an inch of actually touching it. He responded by sweeping with his right leg, and catching Tommy's left. Tommy stumbled backwards and Sanchez quickly pinned him down.

"You're dead," he stated flatly. Tommy flinched as a blue blur pushed Sanchez over, and rolled with him on the ground. They rolled around until the blur was on top. When Tommy looked up, JC had Sanchez pinned.

"His butt is saved by the all mighty Prince JC." Sanchez squiggled around under JC. "Please, you could never break free from me!" JC boasted. Sanchez gave up. When JC calmed, Sanchez used this to his advantage. He kicked JC off of himself, and rolled around until he was on top.

"Things change," he stated. Sanchez got up, and offered JC his hand.

"Thanks," JC stated as Sanchez helped him up. Kim and Tommy approached them.

"Nice work, Sanchez," Kim said.

"He's not the only one who can pin me down," JC whispered. Kim elbowed him.

"I'm gonna go sun bath with Alysa. Bye, boys!" She walked off toward the rocks.

"JC, I heard about you and Kim," Tommy whispered to JC.

"She told you?" he asked in disbelief.

"She tells me everything. Don't worry, I won't tell Alysa."

"Good, we don't want anyone to know yet, 'kay?"

"Sure thing buddy." They walked over to the rocks where the girls laid, and began to spar again. On top of the rocks, Kim and Alysa were carrying on their own conversation.

"So, how did JC respond to church?" Alysa asked.

"He didn't understand the point in it, but I'm wearin' him down!" Kim joked.

"You're probably the first person, besides his mother who could wear him down! Well at least that I know of. He's always been stubborn, ever since I first met him."

"How did you become his guard?"

"Long story."

"We got time."

"All right. It begins…about one hundred and fifty seven years ago."

"Wait a minute, how old are you?"

"Two-thousand, eight hundred, and ninety one."

"God, I feel so young!"

"Yeah, well, we were made to last. By your human biological standards, I would say we are equivalent to twenty years old."

"I like that age much better!" Kimberly giggled. "So, continue."

"Well, my parents had died about a month before. The Riley family took me in, and introduced me to the Queen and the Prince. JC and I quickly became friends, and we spent a lot of time together. One day, we went out to the cannons, and he decided to be brave. He walked up Lunar cannon, and tripped. He fell down twenty seven feet, and broke his legs."

"Ouch!"

"Yeah, he whined the whole time I was re-setting his fractures. But I got a brace made, and dragged him back to the city. Militia, the Queen, she was extremely grateful, and gave me the job of being a Royal Guard with Sanchez."

"Now, when did you guys develop a real relationship?"

"About a year later. When we were talking about how his mother was trying to force him into marriage, he blurted out that he would rather marry me than the women his mother was trying to set him up with. We talked it out, and decided to start dating."

"It is amazing how alike our two worlds are."

"We modeled our way of living after humans. The only thing that really separates us, is the fact that I'm Syberian, and you're Human."

"That's true," Kim said thoughtfully. Suddenly, beep beep beepbeep beep beep.

"Great," Alysa muttered.

"Guys!" Kim cried. When she had their attention, she pointed to her communicator. They all rushed over to the rock and climbed up. "Come in, Dimitria."

"Rangers, Soldiers, please come to the Power Chamber immediately," Dimitria asked.

"We're on our way," Tommy stated. "We clear?" They all looked around.

"Clear," JC said as he raised his dark blue communicator. In one, bright, flash, they all teleported away, leaving a rainbow of colors behind; red, pink, blue, green, and dark pink.

The Power Chamber filled with light as the five teens teleported in. As the light cleared, they lowered their communicators and walked around.

"Dimitria?" JC asked.

"I am here," Dimitria's voice boomed.

"Where?" Kim asked, confused. They all continued to look around for her.

"In Zordon's warp tube." Everyone looked up to the tube.

"What are doing in there?" Tommy asked.

"I figured that you would be more used to this, so I decided to reside in here. It's actually kind of comfortable," Dimitria said.

"What's up?" Sanchez asked.

"I have a surprise for you all. We should wait until the others arrive."

"Why?" Alysa asked.

"Because it effects you all." They stared at her in confusion. It became bright again as the others teleported in.

"Dimitria, what's up?" Adam asked.

"She's got something to tell us," JC said.

"It's not really a tell issue, it's more of a show issue," Dimitria said.

"Okay, then show us," Tanya said.

"All right, come on out," Dimitria said. Everyone turned as the back doors opened. Fog rolled out, and they waited in anticipation. As the fog cleared, and robot walked out. It looked very much like Alpha 5, except it had a straight arrow down the middle, and had more armor. "Rangers, Soldiers, meet Alpha 6."

"Yo, Rangers, Soldiers," Alpha 6 spurted out in a New York accent. The others all gathered around the robot to see.

"Wow, deja vu," Kim giggled.

"About what?" JC asked.

"I'll tell ya later," she whispered.

"Hello, Alpha 6. I'm Tanya Sloan," Alpha shook Tanya's hand.

"It's nice to meet ya," Alpha 6 responded.

"I'm Justin Stewart."

"You're a'little short to be a Power Ranger, aren't ya?" Alpha 6 asked. Justin crossed his arms and stormed away.

"I'm JC Odin."

"I know who you are. My scanners register you as a Syberian. Is that true?" Alpha 6 asked.

"Yes, but I'm from New Syberia. I lead the revolution against her."

"So, you're Prince JC," Alpha 6 said as he relaxed a little.

"I'm Alysa, of the family Perry. I am one of Prince JC's Royal Guards."

"Relax, Alysa. Ya don't have to be so uptight," Alpha said.

"Sorry, I just get tense around new people." All of a sudden, a loud siren sounded within the Power Chamber. "Great, I just get here, and I'm already on the clock!" Alpha walked over to the consol, and turned off the alarm. "YO! A large sphere is floating towards the Earth!"

"The Space Base must have separated from Syberia's ship," JC said.

"Syberia? She's here? Why?" Alpha asked.

"I will inform you later, Alpha 6," Dimitria said.

"Should we morph?" Kim asked.

"At the moment, it is just approaching the Earth. There is no significant need for alarm. The best thing to do right now, is to return to Angel Grove, and be on alert," Dimitria said.

"All right. But if you run into any trouble, contact us," JC said to the others. Everyone nodded.

"Be careful, Rangers and Soldiers. May the power protect you," Dimitria said.

_Major deja vu!_ Kim thought to herself.

"Let's go," Alysa said. Everyone raised their communicators, and teleported away.

"Now why didn't you tell me that Syberia was here?" Alpha 6 asked.

"Would you have come here if I did?" Alpha thought for a moment.

"No, probably not."

"Exactly."

Bright light shimmered off the two cars, parked at the beach, as Tommy, Kimberly, JC, Alysa, and Sanchez teleported in. They all looked around to make sure no one was watching.

"I say we all go back to my house and hang," Kim said.

"We've been doing that a lot lately," Tommy joked.

"Well, it's the most secluded place we could go. Not many people around, means we can morph, and no innocents could get hurt," JC said.

"It is the best bet," Alysa said.

"Let's go," Sanchez said. They each separated. Alysa and Kim went back to the rocks where they were sun bathing, and the guys went to pick up their stuff where they were sparring. After a few moments, everyone was back at the cars. Kim opened her trunk, and threw her towel and her shirt in. JC threw in his sweat pants and his tank top. Kim closed the trunk and they got in the car. Tommy, Sanchez, and Alysa climbed into Tommy's car.

"See ya there!" Tommy stated as he started his car, and drove away.

"Seatbelts," Kim said as she closed her door and grinned.

"When you're driving, of course!" JC joked. Kim started the car, and drove off of the sand and into the grass. Her car was bumpy until she finally got onto the road. "Take it easy!"

"Whine, whine, whine!" Kim joked.

"Well, what can I say, I'm a whiner." They continued to drive along the road directly behind Tommy's car. Suddenly, the sky was filled with a red light as a beam shot past both cars.

"Was that what I think it was?" Kim asked.

"A mechanizing beam." JC looked back.

"Look!" Kim pointed to Tommy's car. Alysa was sitting in back, and motioning for them to pull over. JC gave the okay sign. A minute later, they were all standing on the side of the road next to their cars.

"Did you guys see the mechanizing beam?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah, we should call Dimitria," Kim said.

"Let's go check it out first, it may be something we can handle," Sanchez said.

"Yeah, come on," Tommy said. He started to walk off towards the beam.

"Wait! We should still inform Dimitria," Kim said.

"Kim, she probably all ready knows! Come on!" Tommy said. He walked off again.

"Tommy!" JC called after him as Sanchez and Alysa joined him.

"We can't let them go alone," Kim said.

"Come on," JC said. They both jogged to catch up with the others. "Tommy, maybe we should teleport, we don't know how far away they are."

"Hang on," Tommy said. "Shift into Turbo! Red Lightning Turbo Power!" Tommy morphed into the Red Turbo Ranger. "Turbo Navigator!" he called forth the hand-held scanner. "Let's see, mechanizers! About a mile down the road," Tommy said.

"Come on," JC said. He jogged down the road. The others joined him. After a few minutes, they were within eyes view of the mechanizers. "Woh!" he called as he stopped the others.

"What?" Kim asked.

"There," JC pointed. Then they saw the mechanizers.

"What are they doing?" Sanchez asked.

"It looks like they're scrounging for parts," Alysa said.

"Guys!" Kim called.

"What could they want with those parts?" Tommy asked.

"Guys!" Kim said.

"Maybe Syberia's got something up her sleeve," Sanchez suggested.

"Yo, dip-shits!" Kim cried. She got their attention. "We've been found out." A small group of mechanizers had come up from behind, and were slowly approaching.

"Let's morph guys!" JC said.

"Wind Chaser Turbo Power!"

"Syber Soldier Pink, Brachiosaurus!"

"Syber Soldier Blue, Velociraptor!"

"Syber Soldier Green, Stegosaurus!"

The halls of the Space Base were filled with noise as the base flew closer to Earth. In one room, Syberia and Havok were talking about various plans. They stopped talking as the doors opened and Mallet walked in.

"What is it, Mallet?" Syberia asked, annoyed at the interruption.

"Our favorite friends on Earth have found the mechanizers," Mallet said.

"Did the ones who were getting the parts return?" Havok asked.

"Yes. We have all of the proper equipment to build the scatterer," Mallet said.

"Good, as long as we have what we came for, I'm happy. Focus the mechanizer beam to keep them coming back together. We need to stall them as long as possible," Syberia ordered.

"Yes, my queen. Would you like me to send down a monster?" Mallet asked.

"No. I will go down when the time is right, and make my own monster. I want to personally oversee this battle," Syberia said.

"Yes, my queen." Mallet turned to leave, but stopped. "There was one more thing."

"What?" Syberia asked, very annoyed.

"The human has begun to move around in the chamber, and some of the transformation is becoming very apparent," Mallet said. Syberia stood.

"I'll be right back." She walked out of the room and down several hallways until she came to the docking port. Her body was immediately covered in red light, and she disappeared. She reappeared on her ship a moment later. She walked down several more hallways, until she came to two red doors. She put her hand on a consol next to the door, and they both opened. She walked into the dark room, past the humongous chair, and the newly made bone mountain in the corner, and over to the tube. The red light cast off by the tube, cast an eerie glow across Syberia's face. She smiled as Katherine's eyes opened, and she stared at Syberia. A moment later, they closed again. "How much you have changed!" she said as she stared in awe at Katherine. Her hair had a row of red streaks in the front, and the rest of her hair began to cascade down her back. On her chest, a small, robotic looking 's' was showing in a dark red. Her body had matured a great deal from a month ago. Her body had taken on much more of a muscular appearance. Her hips took on a completely different shape, and her legs were longer. She had developed muscles on her arms and legs, and her facial features were changing slightly. "Soon enough, the change shall be complete, and we shall be together again. And we shall rule the universe together, as we once did. I promise that you shall have your revenge against that twit, Prince JC." Syberia's eyes flashed a dark red, and she disappeared again. A moment later, she reappeared on the Space Base. She walked down several hallways, and then finally came back to the room with Havok and Mallet. "Mallet, begin the scatterer right away. I want it complete within the hour."

"I can't work that fast!" Syberia glared at him intently. She quickly walked over to him, and put her hands around his neck. He fell to the ground fast.

"DO IT! If it is not ready in an hour, I will rip your head off, and send you back to the metal you came from!" She released Mallet, and walked away from him.

"Yes my queen." Mallet staggered as he rose from the ground. He bowed his head and quickly left the room.

"I hate it when I have to get physical with him, in a mean way." Syberia smiled.

"Watch out!" JC cried as a mechanizer swept Alysa off of her feet.

"Sorry bud, I prefer flesh!" she said as she jammed her staff through his head. It fell apart and fell to the ground. A moment later, it reassembled, and went back into the fight.

"I hate it when they do that!" Sanchez said as he tossed his discus at the mechanizer and tore it in half. The two halves then created two more mechanizers. "Great!"

"Hy-ah!" Kimberly cried as she kicked a mechanizer to the ground. She threw a kick back and hit another one in the stomach, effectively breaking it in half. "This is getting us nowhere!" Kim shouted as she spin-kicked another mechanizer to the ground.

"Regroup!" Tommy shouted. Everyone stopped fighting and assembled in a tight circle. "We need something bigger than our weapons," Sanchez said.

"I've got an idea," Alysa said. She raised her communicator. "Dimitria, come in."

"Yes Alysa?" Dimitria responded.

"Two things. One, call the other Rangers. Two, we need a program so that we can bring together our weapons."

"I have already taken the liberty to do so. I am sending the blueprints to you now. I will call the other Rangers immediately," Dimitria said.

"Thanks Dimitria," JC said. Alysa lowered her communicator.

"I'm getting the blueprints now. How bout you guys?" Alysa asked.

"Yep," Sanchez said.

"Me, too. Let's do this." The Soldiers separated from The Rangers, and faced each other.

"Weapons!" They cried in unison. Alysa's staff, JC's claws, and Sanchez' discus appeared.

"GALACTIC DEFENDER!" JC shouted. Each weapon flew away from them and floated into the air. Alysa's staff formed straight as an arrow, and JC's claws attached on both side, pointing out on an angle. Sanchez' discus, floated down on top of the claws, and locked on. The back half of Alysa's staff folded up over Sanchez' discus, and a small handle fell from the bottom. Alysa grabbed the handle, and stood still. JC and Sanchez stood on both sides, and took a stance.

"Fire!" they all cried in unison. Each weapon began to glow bright, and then only Sanchez'. His discus began to glow bright green, and then blue, and finally pink. It began to spin, fast, and continued to spin for what seemed like eternity. Finally, it launched, and flew high above the group of mechanizers. It spun in place for a few seconds, and then thin, rope-like, beams shot down among the crowd, and encased the mechanizers. Each beam came in tight, and the mechanizers broke into billions of pieces. Then, each piece returned to the places they came from. The whole event took about ten seconds.

"What's going on?" Adam asked as he, Justin, and Tanya came running up.

"Nothing, now," Tommy said.

"This weapon is awesome!" JC said as Alysa lowered the Defender. Each weapon broke apart, and dissipated.

"Cool!" Sanchez said.

"Syberia's monsters don't stand a chance!" Kim said.

"Oh really?" Syberia asked as she appeared in front of them in bright red flames. Her red hair flew wildly into the wind, and her dress formed tight around her hips. As always, her sexuality was showing. "Let's test out this theory of yours!" She pointed her finger at the ocean, and a red beam shot forth. It hit the ocean, and the sea turned red. "FLIPSTER, ARISE!" A dolphin rose out of the ocean, and pain shot across it's face. It's tail bent upward, and connected with it's chest, and it let out a loud wail. Two feet poked out from it's bottom half, and armor formed around them. Then, two arms shot out by it's head, and armor formed around them. Light flashed as two swords appeared in each hand. Finally, the creature stood on the grass, blood dripping from every part of it's newly formed body. "Meet my newest creation, half dolphin, half machine. He's not happy right now, in fact, he's in a lot of pain."

"How cruel can you be?" Kim asked, disgustedly.

"You don't wanna know," Syberia stated as she disappeared in red flames.

"We can't destroy a dolphin," Kim said.

"We may have no choice," Tommy said.

"Let's try the Defender. Maybe we can destroy the metal parts, and then heal the dolphin," JC suggested.

"It's better than just killing him," Tanya said.

"All right, GALACTIC DEFENDER!" JC stated. Each weapon reappeared and formed the Defender again. This time, JC took hold of it. "FIRE!" The now blue discus launched at Flipster, and connected with his chest. It cut half way through, and then stopped spinning.

"That hurt!" he shouted as he pulled it out of his chest. "Now I'm really in pain!" He tossed the discus back at JC, and it hit him in the chest, hard.

"AGHHHH!" JC cried as he fell to the ground in pain.

"JC!" Kim cried. She ran to his side.

"Let's try the Turbine Laser," Tommy said.

"Right!" all but Kim replied.

"Kim, come on. He'll be all right," Tanya said.

"Alysa, sit with him, please?" Kim asked.

"Yeah, of course," Alysa replied as she took Kim's place.

"Let's take care of this bastard," Kim said.

"Remember, it's still a loving creature underneath," Adam said.

"Let's get the Laser, guys," Justin said.

"TURBINE LASER!" they all cried. The massive Laser appeared out of the sky, and each Ranger took their place.

"FIRE!" Tommy shouted. A bright beam shot forth, and raced towards Flipster. As it collided with his chest, he bent over in pain. When he stood back up, he held a multi-colored ball in his hands. "He absorbed the power!"

"Want it back?" he cried as he hurled it at the Rangers. It broke into five separate colors, and struck each Ranger. They all doubled over in pain.

Beep beep beepbeep beep beep.

"Dimitria!" Sanchez shouted.

"Prepare for teleportation," her voice calmly replied.

"We'll be back," Sanchez yelled at Flipster.

"I hope so," he replied with a grin. All eight teens teleported away in a bright flash. Flipster grinned as he walked down the beach's surface. He folded up into a ball, and teleported away.

"My queen," Mallet began as he entered the room.

"Yes, Mallet?" she asked.

"The scatterer is almost finished."

"Good. How much longer until it is finished?"

"About fifteen minutes."

"Make it ten."

"Yes, my queen." Mallet left the room. As the doors closed, the room filled with blue light as Flipster appeared.

"What are you doing here?" Syberia asked, annoyed.

"The Rainbow Troop ran away," he stated as he took a seat. He placed his feet on the table.

"How badly did you hurt them?"

"One of the blue ones is unconscious." Syberia brightened up.

"Which one?"

"I don't know! I tried not to pay attention to them." Syberia became mad.

"Return to Earth and start some trouble. I will send down a mechanizing beam to make some mechanizers. When they appear, destroy them."

"All right." He stood up, and walked towards the door.

"Flipster," he turned around, "don't come back unless you win."

"If I don't win, I can't come back," Flipster said with a grin.

"I like him!" Syberia started as the doors closed. "I might actually miss him when they destroy him. Oh, well!"

"Oh man!" JC said as he sat up on the med table. "What happened?"

"Flipster reflected the discus at you. You lost consciousness, and then we came back here," Alysa said.

"Where are the others?" he asked.

"Well, they got hurt bad."

"What happened to them?"

"Flipster reflected the Turbine Laser's beam, and knocked them all unconscious," Sanchez said. JC rose from the table and went to Kimberly's side.

"I'm gonna kill him," JC stated.

"Relax. In an hour, they'll be all right, and we can go kick Flipster's butt!" Alysa said.

"Alpha, where is Flipster?" JC asked as he walked over to the robot.

"At the moment, he's gone back to Syberia's ship. That is just one horrible looking monster!" Alpha commented.

"Dimitria, is there any way that we can destroy the monster and save the dolphin?" Alysa asked.

"If you can sedate him, and bring him back here. I may be able to heal him." Dimitria said.

"Good," Sanchez responded. Suddenly the alarms sounded.

"YO, Soldiers!" Alpha cried in his New Yorker accent.

"What is it Alpha?" JC asked.

"Flipster is at the beach, and he's brought some mechanizers with him!" Alpha cried.

"All right. Let's go make some tuna! Back to action!" JC cried. He teleported away in a bright blue flash.

"I think he's developed a personal vendetta against this guy," Alysa said.

"He has," Sanchez responded. Alysa looked at him. "I'll explain it later. Back to action!" Sanchez teleported away.

"Men!" Alysa cried as she teleported away.

"Yo Flipster!" JC cried as he appeared.

"Ah, I see you're feeling better, blueboy," Flipster said.

"Yep, better than ever."

"Good, because this is the last day of your life."

"I think not," Sanchez said as he appeared next to JC.

"The way I see it, this is the last day of your life," Alysa said as she walked up.

"We'll see," Flipster said. "Mechanizers, ATTACK!" The hoard of mechanizers flew at the Soldiers immediately.

"Hiding behind those tin cans? I'm disappointed in you, Flipster!" JC said.

"Really, can't you fight your own battles?" Alysa asked.

"When I want to," Flipster answered.

"Let's take these buckets of bolts, guys!" JC cried. They separated and took to different sides of the area. The mechanizers also split up, and went after each one. A small group of mechanizers flew after Alysa, and made a circle around her.

"Hello boys, having fun?" she asked. They stopped, and stared in confusion. "Guess not!" she cried as she swept her leg under their feet, sending them all to the ground. One mechanizer missed the sweep, and came at her. "Back off!" She threw her elbow back into his stomach, and sent him to ground.

"Ky-ah!" Sanchez shouted as he flipped by. A trail of mechanizers ran closely behind him. He continued to flip around, until he was behind the mechanizers. "Strike!" he cried as he rolled into a mechanizer. The mechanizer flew into another, and so on, and so on, until all but one of the mechanizers laid in a big pile.

"Missed one!" Alysa shouted.

"Ky-ah!" he shouted as he scissor kicked the remaining mechanizer. "So I'll live with a spare!" Sanchez flipped around some more as more mechanizers came after him.

"Hey, Flipster!" JC shouted as he approached him. "I've got a bone to pick with you."

"Sorry, can't help ya!" Flipster cried as he jumped in the water.

"Don't get away that easily!" JC cried. "Dive." With that one command, a tank appeared on his back, and he jumped in the dark waters.

The Power Chamber was full of sound as the computer tried everything to bring the Rangers back to consciousness.

"Alpha 6, try de-morphing them," Dimitria said.

"All right," Alpha said. Hesitantly, he pressed a few buttons, and the Rangers de-morphed in one bright flash.

"All right, now try force morphing them," Dimitria said. Alpha pushed a few more buttons, and a moment later, they were all morphed again.

"Now what?" Alpha asked.

"Well, force morphing them should jump start their internal systems. Perhaps they will naturally awaken now." A few moments later, moans came from each Rangers' mouths. Suddenly, Justin sat up.

"I feel like I've been hit by a bus," Justin said.

"No, just the Turbine Laser," Dimitria said.

"Even worse!" Adam said as he sat up.

"Where are the Soldiers?" Kim asked as she rose from the med table.

"They are out handling Flipster. They could probably use your help, if you're all up to it," Alpha said.

"I know I'm not," Tommy said as he rose from the med table.

"I most definitely am," Kim said.

"I feel up to the challenge," Justin said.

"Tanya's not waking yet. What's wrong with her?" Adam said as he came up to her side.

"She took a big part of the blast. She has more healing to do," Alpha said.

"I'll stay with her, you guys go help the Soldiers," Tommy said.

"Right. Back to action!" Adam cried. In a bright flash, Adam, Kim, and Justin teleported away.

"Alpha, run a scan on Tanya. I want to make sure she's healing properly," Dimitria said.

"Right. Tommy, you wanna help?" Alpha asked.

"Sure," Tommy stated. "Power down!" A red light engulfed his body as he demorphed, and returned to his street clothes. "Wow, that actually feels better!"

"In a day or two, your bodies will be healed, and you'll all be fine," Alpha said.

"I sure hope so."

"Let's start that scan," Alpha said.

The view was gorgeous underwater. Fish were swimming all about, and the coral was beautiful. Several beams of light came down from the surface, and created an eerie appearance, despite all of the beauty. As JC swam by a school of fish, they all scattered to the left in perfect unison. JC's attention was averted as another school of fish moved. But it wasn't because of him. Flipster was approaching fast with both swords ready to impale JC.

_No you don't!_ JC thought to himself. He twirled his hands around, and called on his claws. He hoisted them up in front of him, and braced for Flipster's hit. He looked around and couldn't see Flipster. He turned left, then right, then back again. Suddenly, he was moving upward towards the surface of the water. He was moving so fast that his bubbles were behind him. _He's gonna make my lungs implode!_ JC thought quickly as he tried to break free of Flipster's grasp. Finally, he stopped moving. JC looked around, but could not see anything below him. He reached up to his helmet, and activated his lights. As he did, Flipster let out a loud wail, and rammed into his helmet, breaking both lights. He spun JC around and around, and then took off JC's air tank, and threw it to the bottom. JC struggled to get away from Flipster, but Flipster had a good hold on him. Yet, JC continued to struggle. _Okay, God, Kim says you exist, so prove it! Help me out!_ Suddenly, Flipster let go of JC, and was dragged out of view. As JC began to black out, he felt someone's hands on his shoulders. Suddenly, air filled his lungs. He looked up, and into Kim's helmet. She flashed the okay sign. JC gave it back. She pulled them both towards the surface. In a matter of seconds, they were both on the surface.

"Thanks," JC said while trying to catch his breath.

"I couldn't let you die, you haven't even met my parents!" Kim joked.

"Sometimes you scare me."

"Come on." Kim pulled him up, and pulled him towards the shore. JC looked around and saw the others fighting. Justin and Alysa were taking care of some mechanizers, and Adam and Sanchez were dealing with the newly beached Flipster.

"Where's Tommy and Tanya?" JC asked.

"Power Chamber. They needed a few moments."

"Let's go finish this guy!" JC said.

"Right!" Kim said enthusiastically. They climbed out of the water, and ran onto the beach.

"Hey, Flipster! You and I have some unfinished business," JC said. Adam, Sanchez, Kim and JC started walking towards him.

"Yeah, didn't your mother teach you never start what you can't finish?" Alysa asked as she and Justin joined the others.

"Sorry, but I never knew my mother," Flipster said. "But Syberia stepped in. Ya wanna know what she taught me?"

"Not really." Justin said.

"Too bad!" Flipster pushed his arms out and they started to glow. Lightning flew from his hands, and struck everyone square in the chest. They all flew back, and landed in a heap of pain. "She taught me that one. Ya like it?" He approached the nearest person, Kimberly. He grabbed her by the neck and lifted her into the air.

"Let go of her!" JC cried.

"You gonna make me?" Flipster joked.

"Syber lightning!" JC cried. His body began to glow bright blue, and he stood up straight as an arrow. He began to spin and spin, and finally he launched at Flipster. He flew at him at lightning speed, and soared straight threw him. Flipster cried in pain as he dropped Kim. He crumbled to the ground.

"I'll…be…backkkk…," he stammered out as he teleported away.

As Mallet entered the room, he could sense Syberia's anger.

"My queen?" he asked.

"What?" she responded.

"The scatterer is finished, your highness. Would you like me to focus it on the Rangers and Soldiers?"

"No. Just JC for now. I want the rest of them to suffer until they all start to drop off."

"Yes, my queen. Flipster is in the infirmary, would you like me to fix him?"

"No. Have him destroyed, painfully. He failed me, and now he will suffer." Syberia's eyes began to glow a dark red.

"Yes, my queen," Mallet said as he left the room.

"JC, are you okay?" Kim asked. JC stumbled away from the shore, and moved to join the others.

"Yes. I just need to rest a moment," JC said.

"I think we need to let him be for a moment," Adam said to Kim, as well as the others.

"No, I'm fine. Let's just go back to the Power Chamber," JC said.

"Yeah, let's go," Alysa said. JC stumbled to get up as he stood next to the others. They all moved their hands to their communicators, and activated the teleport function. Everyone shone their proper colors, and they started to raise to the sky. Suddenly, a white light covered the area and Jc's beam broke into a million different pieces. They all teleported away in different directions.

As the others materialized in the Power Chamber, noone noticed JC's absence.

"Where is JC?" Dimitria asked.

"He teleported with us," Sanchez said.

"I saw his beam as we lifted off of the ground," Justin said.

"Where'd he go?" Adam pondered aloud.

"Alpha, can you run a scan for him?" Kim asked.

"Right away, Kimberly!" Alpha responded in his New Yorker voice. He moved over to a consol and began pushing buttons. He looked at several different read outs before stopping the scan. "I can't find his signature anywhere on Earth."

"This is impossible, he was right there with us!" Kim cried. As they continued talking, Alysa noticed a blue orb on the ground, and picked it up. Suddenly, she was overwhelmed with light as images began to flash through her mind. On image was of a man, and a woman that Alysa recognized as Militia. The man and woman were arguing, and then the man left. The image zoomed in on Militia, and she looked up. She started to smile, and then the image stopped. Another started a moment later, and several children appeared. Many were playing and running around, but then the image centered in on one little girl. It was Alysa. She was sitting all by herself, and she looked like she was about to cry. The image moved in on her, and she looked up. She stood, and moved out towards where the other children were playing. She began to play, and the image went fuzzy as it moved all around.

"ALYSA!" Sanchez cried. Alysa looked around as she realized that she was back in the Power Chamber.

"What's going on?" she asked as she stood up.

"You blanked out," Sanchez said.

"Where's the orb?" Alysa asked as she looked around in panic.

"What orb?" Kim asked.

"There was an orb, a blue orb. I picked it up, and all of these images started to float around in my head. I think they were JC's," Alysa said.

"JC's what?" Tommy asked.

"Memories," Alysa stammered out. A small light began to blink on a nearby consol.

"Alpha, what is that light for?" Justin asked.

"Hang on." Alpha walked over to the consol, and began to push several buttons. He read several screens and then looked at Dimitria. Then, the others. "It's a prerecorded message from Syberia."

"Are you sure?" Dimitria asked.

"No one else uses this frequency," Alpha said.

"Put it on the viewing globe," Adam said. Alpha pushed a few more buttons, and then an image of Syberia appeared.

"Hello Rangers, Soldiers. I see you're missing the company of the Prince. You can thank me for that. Right now, he is traveling the world, all at once. I have scattered his teleport beam, and sent all of the signals to different parts of the world. I estimate that in about one week, each signal will begin to fade. And if they fade out, you lose him forever! I love being evil. I will, however, pre-warn you that I have my scattering device locked on to each one of you. Meaning, if you teleport, the same thing will happen to you. This next week shall be fun as I watch the clock turn, and you run wild trying to save him. I could be nice, and give you time to let this information sink in, but, where's the fun in that? I will give you five hours to yourself, after that, I will start a full fledged attack on Earth. Have fun!" The image disappeared from the viewing globe.

"Alpha, use a tight scan beam and see if what she says is true," Dimitria said.

"If she's telling the truth," Alysa began, "then I may have just absorbed part of JC?"

"It is possible," Dimitria said.

"Oh no," Alpha started, "she is telling the truth. I'm pickin' up JC's signal from over twenty four different places on Earth."

"Can't you teleport them here?" Sanchez asked.

"The signals are too weak," Justin said as he read the monitors.

"And JC could die?" Kim asked, tears swelling up in her eyes.

"Possibly," Alpha said reluctantly. Tommy walked over to Kim, and gave her a big hug.

"It'll be okay, we'll get him back," Tommy said.

"God no," Kim began, "if we can't, Syberia's won."

"Don't say that," Adam said.

"If JC dies, I won't be able to go on," Kim said as she turned, and walked out of the Power Chamber.

"Kim!" Tommy cried as he ran after her.

"This can't be happening," Alysa said. Suddenly, a long beeping noise sounded.

"Alpha?" Adam asked.

"Yo! It's Tanya!" Everyone looked over. On the monitor next to Tanya's bed, a flat line drew across the screen.

"Tanya?" Adam asked as he ran to her side. He took off her helmet and looked at her face. It was pale, and expressionless. "NOOOO!!!!!"

~*~

Part II: The Gathering

_This can't be happening,_ Adam thought to himself, _a few hours ago, we were making out in the park, and now, she's dying._

"Adam, ya gotta move if ya want me to do any good," Alpha said.

"I'm sorry, Alpha," Adam said as he backed away from the table. Alpha began to remove several tools from the drawer below, and placed them on the table.

"Don't die on me, Tanya!" Alpha cried.

"What's going on?" Kim asked as she and Tommy ran back into the Power Chamber. They both ran up to the group of Rangers surrounding Adam.

"We don't know, yet," Alysa said as she and the others watched Alpha fumble with Tanya's suit.

"Alpha, de-morph her," Dimitria said as she lowered out of the tube and down to the floor. Alpha frantically hurried to de-morph her. He pushed a few buttons, and then bright yellow light filled the Power Chamber. Suddenly, beep . . . beep . ..beep . . . Everyone looked over to the monitor and watched as Tanya's heart rate steadily rose.

"She's alive!" Alpha cried in joy.

"Dimitria, how did you know that would work?" Adam asked.

"I didn't, I just thought that Alpha would have an easier time helping her without the power suit on," Dimitria said.

"Thank you," Adam said in joy as he ran back to her side.

"I knew that scan wasn't right!" Alpha said.

"What?" Alysa asked.

"The scan we ran on Tanya was showing something weird, but it said that it wasn't important," Tommy said.

"Back to the business of Jc. Kimberly, why don't you and Alysa begin scanning for each signal. Maybe if we can find out where they all are, we could retrieve them before it's too late," Dimitria said as she floated back up to Zordon's tube.

"Good idea," Sanchez said.

"Yeah," Kim said. She slowly followed Alysa to the different consoles.

"Kim, is there something between you and Jc?" Alysa asked.

"Why?" Kim asked suspiciously.

"Because you two have been seriously worried about each other lately."

"Well, yeah, there is something between us."

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"We just didn't want you guys to know just yet."

"Oh," Alysa said. She went back to pushing buttons on the consol.

"Does it bother you?" Kim asked. Alysa pulled away from the consol.

"A little. Not that you two are together, but that he didn't tell me."

"He thought you might not handle it well."

"I can see where he'd think that. I've put down every woman he's dated since we broke up. But that's just cause I knew that they weren't right for him."

"And me?"

"You, I could see him with. The others were just too greedy. They just wanted the power he had over the city. I knew that's not someone he should be with."

"I can see why he cares for you so much." Alysa stopped.

"What?"

"He cares a lot about you. And now I see that it's because you care a lot about him, too."

"Of course I care about him, he's my best friend!"

"But you both care about each other more than that. Don't deny it."

"All right, I do. But that's because he was the only person who ever cared about me. I just couldn't forget that."

"And I don't expect you to." Suddenly, a small light started to blink. "What's that?"

"I think it's located an orb," Alysa said. "Guys!"

"What is it?" Tommy asked as he and Sanchez walked up. Justin and Adam joined them too.

"The computer's found one of the orbs," Kim said excitedly.

"Good. Can we teleport it?" Tommy asked.

"I think that I can lock onto it," Justin said.

"Go ahead and try," Alysa said. Both girls moved aside to let the little genius through. He began to push several buttons on the consol.

"I can teleport it if I can amplify the beam." He looked around for something. His eyes rested on the blue communicator on his wrist. He walked away from the consol and began to pace.

"Justin?" Adam asked.

"I'm brain storming," he responded. He continued to pace around for about five minutes, mumbling words under his breath. "I think I know how."

"What do you need?" Sanchez said.

"I need everyone's communicators," Justin said.

"If it'll bring Jc back, gladly," Kim said. Everyone unstrapped their communicators, and handed them over to Justin.

"What's the plan?" Sanchez asked.

"If I can somehow mold the communicators together, it may create a tight enough beam to lock onto the orb. If this works, we could shorten the time it takes to retrieve the orbs," Justin stated.

"Do you know how?" Kim asked.

"I think I do. I remember reading some of Billy's files and finding a device like this," Justin said.

"I remember that one. Kim was sucked into a time hole, and sent back to 1880. Billy built the device to re-open the hole and bring her back," Tommy said.

"I remember that!" Kim said as she remembered it.

"Justin, would you like some help in building the device?" Sanchez asked.

"Sure, if you're up to it," Justin answered. The two boys walked off to another table to begin working on the device.

"I hope this works," Alysa said.

"You're not the only one," Kim said.

All of Syberia's ship was filled with joy as they celebrated finally winning. Even though the Rangers and Soldiers weren't beat, without Jc, they didn't stand a chance. In the main throne room, everyone was dancing around. Several of Havoks' minions were enjoying themselves as well as several of Syberia's minions. In the middle of the room, Syberia sat proudly in her chair, and watched all of the beings around her. Then she noticed that Mallet was missing.

"Where's Mallet?" she called out to anyone who was listening. No response came back. She rose from her throne and walked towards the doors. "No one ever listens to me," she mumbled as she pushed the doors open. She walked to the end of the hall and then turned left. She passed several people and kept going. "Computer," she started, "where is Mallet?"

"Mallet is in your personal quarters," a mechanic voice answered back.

"Why is he in there?" Syberia asked herself.

"He is currently observing the human specimen," the computer answered.

"What is his obsession with her?" she asked herself. She turned a few more corners, and came upon two large red doors.

"Open." Both doors immediately flew open. Mallet whirled around as she entered.

"My Queen," he began.

"Why do you continue to look at her? Do you have some perverted interest in her?"

"No, I just, I . . ." Mallet paused. "I'm just interested in her. I never got to meet her before she died."

"What are you talking about?"

"Melissa, your daughter, I know this human is her reincarnate. I've heard many stories about her, and I just wanted to meet her."

"How do you know that this human used to be Melissa?"

"I scanned her soul one day. I saw the truth. I'm sorry if I have upset you my queen, I will stay away from her if you wish."

"No, let's not talk about this. It is a time to celebrate. In one hour, I will send down a new monster and really jostle the Rangers' spirits," Syberia smiled. "And I think that I know who I want to send down."

"Who?"

"You'll find out. Come on." Syberia wrapped her arm around Mallet's and walked towards the doors. "You can have a thrill and escort me back to the party."

"It would be my pleasure." They both walked out of the doors and returned to the party.

"That should do it," Justin said as he set down a small tool. "Guys, I think I'm done."

"Will it work?" Tommy asked.

"It should," Sanchez said.

"Theoretically, this device will intensify the teleportation beam so that we can bring each orb back," Justin said.

"Well, let's test it out," Kim said. Justin walked over to the consol for teleportation, and set down the device.

"Sanchez, bring me the polarizer," Justin said. Sanchez picked up a small, pointy device, and handed it to Justin. "Everyone, shield your eyes." Justin turned on the polarizer and sparks started to fly. After a few moments, Justin turned it off. "All right." Justin put down the device and began to push some buttons. "Cross your fingers." He pushed a button, and a small blue light filled the Power Chamber for a few seconds. A moment later, a small blue orb materialized on the floor.

"It worked!" Alysa cried. She ran over to the orb and picked it up.

"Don't hold it for too long," Adam warned. Alysa quickly placed it on the table.

"What do we do with it?" Alysa asked.

"I have prepared a capsule for the orbs. I will teleport it here." White light shone, and a blue box appeared on the floor. A large robotics' appeared on the lid, and it opened. Inside, the capsule was purple, and there was twenty-five holes in the bottom suited for each orb. "Alysa, please place the orb in one of the holes." Alysa walked over to the capsule, and bent down. She placed the orb in one of the holes, and a small, blue light flashed. The orb melted, and a small outline of a body appeared.

"Wow!" Alysa cried as she jumped back.

"Relax, each orb will fill the outline slightly and eventually, it will be a blue copy of Jc's body," Dimitria said.

"What about his memories?" Kim asked. "Can we get those back?"

"I'm not sure, but we may be able to," Dimitria said.

"I hope so." Alysa muttered.

"Alysa, do not feel bad that you absorbed his memories, it was an accident," Dimitria said.

"Yeah, but if he forgets who we are, and his feelings for all of us," Alysa looked at Kim, "I'll never forgive myself." Kim walked over to Alysa.

"It's not your fault, he will be back, and he will remember us all," Kim said. Alysa smiled.

"Guys!" Justin called.

"What is it?" Adam asked as the Rangers ran to his side.

"I think that I've found an orb," Justin said.

"Good. Can you teleport it?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah." He pressed a few more buttons on the consol, and a beeping sound came from the computer. "Oh no!"

"What?" Sanchez asked.

"This read out says that there's a waiting period," Justin said.

"What?" Alysa asked.

"We have to wait another hour before the device can teleport again," Justin answered sorrowfully.

"Is there anything else that we can do?" Kim asked, exasperated.

"We could go physically retrieve the orbs," Adam said.

"It's better than waiting. I'll go get this one. Where's it located at?" Tommy asked.

"Here's the coordinates," Justin handed him a small piece of paper.

"I'll be back." Tommy picked up his helmet. "Back to action!" In a red light, Tommy teleported away.

"Only twenty two orbs to go," Justin said.

As Tommy stumbled along through the forest, he scanned the area for the next orb.

"Man, it gets dark quick," Tommy thought aloud. He continued to walk along until the Turbo Navigator started to beep.

"What?" he asked the device. He looked at the screen, and saw the orb. "Where is it?" he asked again. The screen zoomed out to show where Tommy was, and then where the orb was. Tommy turned around slowly until he was facing in the direction of the orb. He walked forward, and the orb seemed to move closer. Finally, he found the orb; when he tripped over it. He shook his head and stood up. "Gotcha!" He put the Turbo Navigator away and walked back over to the orb. He raised his communicator. "Justin, come in."

As Tommy stumbled along through the forest, he scanned the area for the next orb.

"Man, it gets dark quick," Tommy thought aloud. He continued to walk along until the Turbo Navigator started to beep. "What?" he asked the device. He looked at the screen, and saw the orb. "Where is it?" he asked again. The screen zoomed out to show where Tommy was, and then where the orb was. Tommy turned around slowly until he was facing in the direction of the orb. He walked forward, and the orb seemed to move closer. Finally, he found the orb; when he tripped over it. He shook his head and stood up. "Gotcha!" He put the Turbo Navigator away and walked back over to the orb. He raised his communicator. "Justin, come in."

"Yeah?" Justin's voice squeaked through the communicator.

"What do I do with the orb, if I'm holding it while I teleport, won't it mix with my particles?"

"Yeah. I'm gonna send the capsule, when you get it, put the orb in immediately."

"Right." Tommy lowered his communicator, and bent down to pick up the orb. In a blue flash, the capsule appeared in front of him, and the lid opened. Tommy picked a spot, and dropped the orb in. The outline of Jc's body shaded in a blueish-purple color. The lid closed, and the capsule teleported away. "Yes!"

"No," Mallet said as he appeared off to Tommy's right. "You will not ruin my queen's plans."

"Too late!" Tommy said as he took a defensive stance.

"I will stop you before you destroy the whole plan."

"Whatever, tin man. Get lost before I'm forced to tear you apart."

"You're gonna tear me apart? You can't even handle a mechanizer on your own! What makes you think that you can stop me? You couldn't stop us when we took your friends, you couldn't stop us when we took your Zords, and if it wasn't for your replacement Pink Ranger, you wouldn't be alive!" Tommy became angry.

"You just reminded me of something, you still have Kat, and I want her back." Tommy did a flying kick at Mallet, but he moved out of the way. Tommy landed on the ground in a heap of pain.

"The human, yes, her name is Kat? I much rather prefer Melissa," Mallet said as he disappeared. Tommy stood and put his hands on his belt buckle. He teleported away in a streak of red.

As Tommy appeared in the Power Chamber, he threw his helmet to the ground.

"Tommy?" Alysa asked. Tommy walked over to her. He came so close that she had to push up against a consol to not touch him.,bR>

"I want answers," Tommy said.

"About what?" Alysa asked.

"Tommy, back off," Adam said as he pulled on Tommy's arm. Tommy shrugged him off.

"Kat. Why is she so important to Syberia?" Tommy asked.

"I told you, we can't tell you," Alysa said as she lowered her head.

"Fine, who's Melissa?" Tommy asked. Alysa perked up.

"Where did you hear that name?" Alysa asked.

"Mallet said it before he disappeared," Tommy said.

"When did you see Mallet?" Sanchez asked. Alysa moved away from Tommy quickly and sat down.

"After the capsule came back he appeared. I said Kat's name and he said, 'I much rather prefer Melissa.' What did he mean?" Tommy asked. Sanchez sighed.

"Melissa is Syberia's natural born daughter. She's PURE Syber power. She's lived many lives, in different forms. About one thousand years ago, one of the Royal Guards killed Melissa's latest form, and Syberia captured her. Syberia looked for Melissa for years before she found her, about a month ago." Sanchez stopped, and suddenly everything clicked in Tommy's mind.

"And if Mallet knows that she's Melissa, that must mean that the change is complete," Alysa said as she stood.

"Syberia could have told him," Tommy said.

"She wouldn't. He couldn't know by any other way," Alysa said.

"Guys, sorry to interrupt, but I have something," Justin said.

"What?" Tommy asked, annoyed at the interruption. Justin held up a small blue orb.

"Where did you ge
