Phaedos
By Adam Pearlman

The planet Phaedos home to Dulcea the Master Warrior and guardian of the Great Power. It was here as in many other realities that the Power Rangers sought the power to save their mentor and friend Zordon of Eltare from injuries inflicted upon him by Ivan Ooze. As in most universes this group of Rangers succeeds in their quest and Zordon is saved. However in the universe were the White Astro Ranger turned his back on all that is good and became a force for evil Phaedos became a bastion of hope and good. It failed.

Now Phaedos which once was a planet of beauty it now lies in ruins. The Monolith the hiding place of the Great Power is destroyed and access to the power denied. Stories tell that the Emperor attempted to take the Great Power, but it was denied to him because of his evil. Frustrated it's said he took the guardian of the power Dulcea and did terrible things to her and then allowed his men to do the same. Then when his rage had subsided he slit her throat and let her bleed to death at his feet. The other stories say that Dulcea escaped his clutches and along with Ninjor and one other plot to one day overthrow the Emperor.

Now four of those warriors who once stood here and discovered there spirit guides find themselves at a scene of utter devastation.

"Look at this place its been totally wrecked" Aisha exclaimed.

"I can't believe it, why did he do this?" Kim asked.

"I don't know Kim, I mean who knows what made him turn against everything he'd fought for, the change in the person we knew to the Emperor is almost unbelievable" Billy answered.

"But he isn't the person we knew Billy. This is a different Adam we're talking about, one who has had similar experiences to our own, but was different in someway. The point is we may never really know why he turned evil, but I do know this was a message" Tommy said.

"A message?" Aisha asked.

"Yes, saying I'm here and I'll take what I want by force and I'll leave nothing intact as I go on my way" Tommy said.

"Transalation!" Kim said.

"The Emperor is like a teenager who never grew up, he's a spoiled brat and we're going take him down piece by piece" Tommy said.

"So what do we do now? I mean there is no sign of Dulcea or Ninjor?" Billy asked.

"I had a thought on that. Tommy the Turbo Navigators can be made to detect anything can't they?" Kim asked.

"I think so why?" Tommy asked curious.

Kim didn't respond and in a glow which was a mixture of purple and pink a turbo navigator appeared in her hand and quickly activated it.

"So you picking anything up?" Aisha asked.

"Something that may be a life reading, I can't tell" Kim said hesitantly.

"Well we won't know if we just stand around here. Kim which way?" Tommy asked.

Pointing in the direction that they should go the four quickly started their trek and as they did Kim dropped back next to Aisha who was looking a bit distracted.

"Aisha are you okay?" Kim asked.

"Yeah, its just I feel like I'm filling in again" Aisha answered. Before Kim could respond Aisha explained. "The only reason I was chosen as a Ranger was because of Trini going to the Peace Conference. Now she's back and she's wearing the Yellow Ranger costume again. Zordon gave me these powers because there were no others and again its someone else's costume. When Rocky and Chris became Rangers they had the same feelings, but when they became the Zeo Rangers they had the chance to carve out their own reputation as a Ranger, I never got the chance".

"But you chose to stay in Africa" Kim protested.

"I know and I don't regret that for even a second, I did some real good, I just feel like I'm living in the shadow of someone else again and I can't seem to break out of the shadow" Aisha said.

"It's perfectly natural to feel uncomfortable to wear someone else's colour and feel like a fill-in. For me it was the opposite way though, when Rocky became the Blue Zeo Ranger I felt like he was trying to take my place in the Rangers and he felt the same way. We talked about it and we resolved the problems we had. After that I was proud to see Rocky as the Blue Ranger continuing the legacy I'd started" Billy said.

"Aisha, you shouldn't doubt yourself as the Yellow Ranger you were brilliant, you were always there when we needed you and I'm proud that someone of your skill now possess the powers I first carried" Tommy said.

"I guess so, I know its stupid to be feeling this after months of being the Green Ranger, but it still feels like a burden" Aisha said.

"Well, don't let it be and don't forget that we're here when you need to talk" Kim said.

The two Ranger girls hugged and then the four continued their march when Billy came to an abrupt halt as Tommy plowed straight into his back.

"Billy why did you stop?" Tommy asked.

"Because we're not alone" he answered.

Then in a flash of energy Torachian Warriors appeared all around the four.

"Oh great these guys, I thought we'd gotten rid of them for good" Kim moaned.

"Apparently not, so let's take them out" Aisha said.

The four Rangers jumped quickly into battle not bothering to morph, but instead rely on their natural skills. Though the four were a formidable team, outnumbered they soon found that they were being herded together and pressed back against a rock formation.

"Tommy I think its time to even up the odds" Billy said.

Tommy nodded and started to issue the familiar command when they heard a noise above them and a figure in a green cloak dropped down in front of them alongside another figure in a blue cloak. The cloaks fell from the newcomers revealing. "Dulcea, Ninjor!"

"No time to chat young Falcon, there is a fight to be won" Ninjor said.

"Agreed. Guys It's Morphing Time" Tommy called out.

"Pterydactol" Kimberly shouted as she morphed into the Pink Power Ranger.

"Triceratops" Billy called out as he became the Blue Ranger.

"Dragonzord" Aisha said as she became the Green Ranger.

And finally Tommy called out. "Tigerzord".

Then four morphed Rangers joined Dulcea and Ninjor in the battle. Within minutes the Torachian Warriors had fled leaving the six alone. Quick as a flash the four Morphin Rangers returned to their civilian outfits. While both Ninjor and Dulcea remained in defensive stances.

"Who are you?" Dulcea demanded.

"Dulcea it's us, well not us, but we are us. Anyone want to jump in and help right about now" Kim said.

"We are who we appear to be, but we're from another universe. We got involved in the fight against the Emperor when he began an invasion in our universe" Billy explained.

"That would explain your presence, because both you and Tommy are dead here" Ninjor stated.

"That's probably not true either. You see we encountered Devastator and found out he was also the Carter Grayson of this universe. He was freed from being part of Devastator and he's now in this universe with the rebels helping us attempt to free this universe" Tommy answered.

"I can sense the connection you all have with the Great Power. Although Kimberly yours is partially now purple and Aisha yours is green" Dulcea said.

"That because some of us have different colours now then when we first gained the Great Power. Kim is also the Purple Turbo Ranger and I'm now the Green Morphin Ranger" Aisha explained.

"As lovely as it is too see you all, we must leave this place it will not be long before the Torachian Warriors return in far greater numbers" Ninjor said.

"Do they control Phaedos?" Kim asked.

They do, I fought when they came and failed to stop them. I fled and sought sanctuary with Ninjor and then with an old friend we made a headquarters in another location and have tried to free our universe from this terrible evil" Dulcea said.

"We've been to Earth and retrieved the Astro and Zeo Powers and also given new powers to some others. Now that we've determined your condition you should link up with them and help them. Perhaps you can free Earth" Billy said.

"Perhaps, but we must speak with our companion" Dulcea said.

Then the two started to walk and the four followed them until they came to a wall. "Step forward Rangers there is nothing to fear" Dulcea said.

Hesitating for only a moment Tommy strode forward and disappeared and then following closely behind so did the others and they stepped into a part of there past.

"The Command Centre" Aisha said.

"Wow, I never thought I'd see this place again" Kim said.

"How did we end up here? I mean one minute we were facing a rock face and then we're here" Tommy asked.

"It was a warp gate. It allowed for instantaneous transportation to Eltare" a voice said.

The four whirled around as they recognised the voice of their old friend. "Alpha Five" Billy called out.

"Hello Billy" Alpha said.

Then the four took a proper look at the droid. No longer did he look like the Alpha they knew as armour covered the entire body of machinery and on one shoulder he wore a cannon.

"As you can see I've gone through some changes since we last met" Alpha said.

"So we can see. Look before you ask we're from another reality. We came to help free it from the Emperor" Aisha explained.

"Your words ring true Green Ranger" a female voice said.

"Dimitria!" Tommy said surprised.

"Yes Tommy it is me. I can see you have questions" She said.

"Just a few, I mean we thought you were dead" Billy said.

"Because one is out of sight and not heard from, does not mean they are gone. To quote a human 'the rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated'. In any case I survived the event known as the day of defeat for good and united with Dulcea and Ninjor in an attempt to find someway to restore peace and hope to this universe. Unfortunately we have not been successful and only able to launch a few attack designed to be an irritation to the Emperor" Dimitria said.

"However of late our attacks have been more effective and more damaging" Dulcea said.

"That's probably because of us, the Emperor has been trying to conquer our world since December and hasn't succeeded yet. Since then he's been sending everything he's got at us" Kim said.

"I don't mean to be impolite Rangers, but you're staring at me" Dulcea suddenly said.

"The very short version is the you of our universe has been turned into a fifteen year old and to see you like this is a bit startling after getting used to seeing her like that" Billy said.

"May I ask how I ended up as a child?" Dulcea asked.

"You took a blast of chronal energy meant for Adam and it turned you into the wild child you are now" Tommy said with a vain attempt at humour.

"That would be an interesting experience to meet myself as a child" Dulcea commented.

"Perhaps, but I remember you as a child and you weren't that much fun to be around" Ninjor said in a vain attempt at humour.

"So what's the plan? Now that we know about you, why don't you come back to Earth and help the Rangers there" Kim said.

"We will return to Earth with you, if only for a short while to guide and aid the new Rangers. I will also attempt to find people suitable to wield the Great Power" Dulcea answered.

"Cool, there are at least three candidates I know of, my counterpart as well as the counterparts of Rocky and Chris. Having already held the power they'd be suitable again" Kim asked.

"Indeed they would. They merely need to get in touch with their guide once more. We will also choose four more Rangers to wield the Yellow, Blue, White and Silver powers now that those four Rangers are lost to us" Ninjor said.

"That would be a great help, I mean if we can link all the forces of good together, then maybe we can cause the Emperor some problems here as well and even stop him for good" Aisha said.

"There is one question that I have. There are rumours that the Emperor is dead and that he fell in battle against his counterpart" Dimitria asked.

"He did, but from things we've heard and been told the Emperor survived. Although he's in a bad way and he shouldn't be much of a threat for a while" Tommy said.

"Then he can be beaten and that means victory and freedom could be ours" Dulcea said with a touch of youthful enthusiasm.

"Alpha Five prepare the Command Centre for transportation to Earth" Dimitria commanded.

"You got it Dimitria, it won't take a minute or two" Alpha said.

Before the droid could make any move towards the console there were explosions and part of the wall collapsed in on itself revealing.

"Blue Senturion!" Tommy cried out in amazement.

"Targets located, initialise killing protocols" Blue Senturion stated.

"Something tells me that this guy isn't on our side" Billy said.

In answer to that question the intergalactic police officer fired his blaster at the six who dodged out of the way.

"Guys we've got more bad guys incoming, we need to get out of here" Kim shouted.

"Indeed, Alpha activate the Warp Gate. Rangers you, Ninjor and Dulcea must return to Phaedos and from their to Earth" Dimitria said.

"What about you?" Tommy said.

"Do not worry about us Tommy, we'll be okay. Now go, before its too late" Alpha insisted.

Tommy hesitated for only a moment as he felt an arm on his shoulder and allowed Billy to pull him towards the portal and back to Phaedos. They had barely gotten away from the warp gate when Blue Senturion and dozens of Torachian Warriors, Putties, Cogs and Quantrons appeared also.

"This isn't good" Kim said.

"Surrender Power Rangers and I may let you live" Blue Senturion said.

"Some choice, surrender and probably die or fight and probably die anyway. I vote option two" Aisha said sarcastically.

"Same here, if we're going to die then I say we go down fighting" Billy said.

"Or we could just return to Earth and regroup and return with more Rangers" Dulcea said.

"I can't believe that you would say that Dulcea, I mean this is your home" Kim said astonished.

"But even I know the importance of retreat. I am the Guardian of the Great Power and I must be alive to be its guardian" Dulcea said.

"Dulcea's right, everyone teleport back to Earth now" Tommy yelled.

With nods of the head the six teleported away and headed towards Earth. Meanwhile on the aforementioned planet. Justin crashed to the floor with a thud and then quickly was back on his feet.

"Well, this is fun. 'Let's just attack this convoy and free some people'. Get it in and get out, yeah right, Rocky I'm going to kill you if I survive" Justin moaned.

"Justin you're going to have to get in line" Jen the Pink Time Force Ranger shouted.

"Yeah, I mean this is crazy, we're outnumbered and even with our powers" Kelsey shouted.

"I thought you said your middle name was crazy" Rocky yelled.

"Crazy yes, suicidal no" Kelsey 2 shot back.

"Okay so maybe this wasn't such a good idea, but come on most of us are out of shape as far as being Rangers and the rest of you need to get used to being a Ranger" Rocky replied.

"What by getting killed" Chad 2 asked.

"That isn't part of the plan. Rocky I think its time to leave, you know discretion is the better part of valour and all. Besides we secured our objective anyway" Chris 2 said.

Rocky 2 reluctantly nodded and then the group of Rangers regrouped along with one other. "Everyone lets teleport now" Rocky 2 yelled.

Then in streaks of light the group teleported away to their mountain base. Removing her helmet Kimberly Hart the current Pink Zeo Ranger turned to the girl and said. "Trini are you okay?"

Fingering a bruise on her face Trini 2 looked over at her old friend and smiled. "Yes, Kim I am, I'm free".

"Free isn't it a wonderful word" Ashley 2 said.

"I can't believe you found a way to free me" Trini 2 said.

"Well, we wouldn't have been able to do that if not for the help of other universe Rangers and their efforts" Rocky 2 said.

"We're glad to help, I mean in our time all of you are legends and we're only too glad to help them and you their counterparts" Trip said excitedly.

"Who are you?" Trini 2 asked.

"Long story, four of us are from another reality and about 1,000 years in the future" Jen explained.

"Oh glad I asked" Trini 2 said with a small amount of humour in her voice.

As Trini greeted her friends she saw someone and she took a step back in fear. Seeing the look on her face Kim 2 placed a hand on her shoulder and said. "He's not the Emperor, he's from the alternate reality".

"I'm sorry, its just seeing you and remembering what you've done to me and the others" Trini 2 tried to explain.

"Hey I understand perfectly, if a psycho version of one of my friends turn on his friends and did what he'd done, I'd be a bit scared of his counterpart" I said.

Even as I finished speaking six teleportation beams entered the camp.

"We're back anyone miss us" Tommy asked.

"No, were you gone somewhere" I said.

"Good to see you to" Tommy said.

At that I allowed a smile to come onto my face highlight my relief at seeing the four safe and sound.

"I see you made contact with Dulcea and Ninjor" Jason said.

"Yeah, we also found Dimitria and Alpha Five, but they didn't make it" Aisha said.

At that those who had known the two remained respectfully silent in remembering the fallen. After that the group divided itself into smaller groups and began discussing plans and strategies. Kim walked between two groups and then stopped and allowed a small smile to creep onto her face as she saw Adam and Rachel holding hands and in fact the whole change in Adam's body language and the Pink Ranger approached the two.

"So what's been going on while I've been gone?" Kim asked.

"What do you mean?" Rachel asked confused.

"I saw the two of you holding hands, do I take it you two are now back together" Kim said.

Glancing at Rachel I smiled and then turned to look at Kim. "Yes we are back together and I'm on the road to recovery".

"I noticed, you do seem more like your old self again. So what happened?" Kim asked.

"This universe's Jason, he was working for the Emperor and he tried to take Rachel and I snapped and realised how bad I'd been to Rachel and we made up and we'll we're back together" I said.

"What do you mean road to recovery?" Trini 2 asked.

Startled I glanced over and saw the newly freed former Yellow Ranger stood there and I started to answer. "Long story, I died, I got better, but only now am I back to the person I was before I died".

Before Trini 2 could say something Ninjor started to speak. "Rangers and rebels the time has come to act. To recreate the power coins and then empower them with the power of Ninja and Ninjetti we must first reclaim the Temple of Power and then retake Phaedos. So we can gain access to the Great Power".

"And that's really easy. Only a couple of hundred bad guys between us and our objective". Recognising the voice I turned to see this universe's version of Mike Corbett.

"There are always ways and we will come up with a strategy to achieve both objectives" Dulcea said.

With a nod Rangers and rebels divided and began to attempt to come up with a strategy to achieve the impossible. Mike 2 felt my staring and turned to look at me before moving towards me and then getting right in my face he snarled. "If you want to stare at me, take a picture it will last longer".

"Sorry I didn't mean to stare, it's just I know the other universe version of Mike Corbett" I said.

"Well nice for you. So how do you know me or him in this case" Mike 2 said suddenly interested.

"We met on the planet Miranoi, he and some friends were accompanying a girl back to her world because it was in trouble. Kai attempted to borrow the Astro Megaship. Now I was onboard for a visit and along with Damon we followed Mike, Kendrix, Maya and your little brother Leo to this world Miranoi. Now six of us pulled the Quasar Sabres from the stone on Miranoi. While you pulled the Red Sabre, before you could use it you fell down a rock crevice and were presumed dead. The rest of us became the Galaxy Rangers and defended the space colony Terra Venture. You turned up eventually being used by the vengeful spirit of the Magna Defender. In the end you returned properly and became the Magna Defender before losing the powers. Recently like me you died and then were brought back to life and gifted with the Magna powers once more" I smiled as I realised many were listening to my story.

"Well that was interesting, but I'm not this Mike and I'll never be him" Mike 2 snarled as he stomped away.

"Some people are just plain rude" I muttered.

"And you're the perfect person" Rachel said humorously.

"Well okay, I have my faults but I'm not that bad" I replied.

"Indeed you do have faults" Jon said.

"Thanks Jon glad to know you're on my side here" I said sarcastically.

"Hey I've learned never to get involved between you two. But that's not why I'm here. Since the problem of Phaedos is we need to destroy the base they have on it" Jon started to say.

"We know they have a base on Phaedos, but what's your point" I asked impatiently.

"We need someone who has inside information on the base" Jon finished.

"Carter!" Rachel said.

Jon shook his head and replied. "I already asked, when he was Devastator he never went there, but someone else we know has been".

At that I knew who he was talking about. "This person wouldn't happen to be so tall, have blonde hair and you have a massive crush on her" I said cheekily.

"I do not!" Jon replied a little louder than he intended.

Then Jon stopped and saw the matching grins on myself and Rachel face's and realised that I had just gotten my own back on him for his earlier comment.

"It's a good idea though. Why don't you go back to the Power Chamber and get her" I said.

Jon nodded and teleported away back to the other reality.

"Where's your friend going?" Kim 2 asked.

"He's gone back to the other reality to bring back a friend who should have insider knowledge of the Phaedos base" Rachel replied.

"Why do I feel uneasy over who this person is. Who are they?" Kim 2 demanded.

"It's your version of Karone" I replied softly.

"Are you insane? Why the hell are you bring her of all people here?" Kim 2 screamed in anger.

"She's not Astronema anymore" Rachel insisted.

"Once evil always evil" Kim countered.

"I suppose that goes for me as well" Carter 2 said quietly.

"No, you were forced to become evil, to be one with Devastator. You didn't have a choice" Kim 2 argued.

"It's the same with Karone. She was kidnapped when she was little and brought up evil and then the implants they made her evil" I explained.

"She still has those implants though" Kim 2 argued.

"Not anymore, apparently they failed three years ago and it left her pretending to be Astronema. Didn't you ever wonder why so many of the Emperor's attacks on the rebels failed. It was because Karone was doing her best to make sure they did" Jo said.

"Fine, but if she shows one sign of evil or betrayal she dies" Kim 2 snarled.

"And you have my word that if you attempt to harm I'll stop you cold" I said with my own deadliness in my voice.

The current Pink Zeo Ranger walked away and rejoined her own comrades. As she did Rachel couldn't help but glance over at me with a look of concern.

"That was a bit harsh" Rachel said.

"Perhaps, but then threats are meant to be. I just hope I don't have to back it up" I said.

"I hope so to" Rachel added.

Minutes passed and then the familiar sound of teleportation was heard, but instead of Jon and Veronica there was a third slightly shorter figure with them and I recognised her instantly.

"Dulcea what are you doing here?" I asked.

"It is my duty as the Master Warrior of Phaedos, well a Phaedos anyway to help you free the planet from evil" Dulcea answered.

"Or what she really means is, she's bored and wants some action" Rachel answered.

"Hey, no fair using your telepathic abilities to read my mind" Dulcea protested.

"I didn't have to, its written all over your face kid" Rachel said.

Dulcea was about to reply when this universe's Dulcea joined us. "So you are my counterpart" Dulcea 2 said.

"No, I just happen to look like you in miniature of course I'm your counterpart" Dulcea replied.

"Dulcea! Don't be rude" Veronica said.

"What is this a lesson in manners from miss I can't be bothered with being polite" Dulcea replied.

Before an argument could break out I quickly spoke. "Dulcea this is Veronica, once known as Karone and before that Astronema".

"Veronica?" Dulcea 2 asked.

"It was confusing with two other Karone's around so I chose a new name" Veronica replied.

"Astronema". A voice snarled and with that a young man threw himself at the former princess of evil who quickly side-stepped the charge leaving the man to hit nothing but ground.

"I don't know who you are, but I'm not Astronema, not anymore. I probably caused you pain and for that I'm sorry. I can't make up for the mistakes of the past, but I can try and atone for my sins" Veronica said just loud enough for Kim 2 to hear.

"Look Veronica can we finish chatting about your past mistakes later and deal with the present" Wes said impatiently.

"Wes don't be rude" Kim replied.

"Look I'm sorry if that came off as being rude, but we have to work fast" Wes said.

"I understand. Look if we go to Phaedos and get me to an access terminal I can shut down the whole base" Veronica said.

"How can you do that?" Kim asked.

"Since I gave up being Astronema I've been learning new skills such as how to break into computer programs" Veronica said.

"I see Billy has been teaching you bad habits" I said with a hint of a smile on his face.

At that Billy looked a little embarrassed and blushed as Kimberly who was stood next to him giggled.

"Okay, here is what we will do. The Morphin Rangers, Veronica and the Dulcea's will go to Phaedos to break into the fortress. Meanwhile the Time Force Rangers and Ninjor can go and free the Temple of the Power. Meanwhile if they're willing I want to take five people to another planet and see if we can get some more powers" I suggested.

"Good plan Adam, but what is the other planet are you talking about?" Jason asked.

"Miranoi, I'm going to take this universe version of the Galaxy Rangers to Miranoi and see if we can retrieve the Quasar Sabres" I answered.

"Do you think they'll be there" Rachel asked.

"I hope so, I mean the fact that Miranoi was in another dimension should mean it was out of the Emperor's reach" I said.

"I don't ever remember the Emperor mentioning Miranoi, so it should be safe to get there" Veronica said.

"Tommy are you ready for that little idea I had in mind" I asked.

"I am, we discussed it and our surprise has agreed" Tommy said.

"We should get going time is wasting and we ain't getting any younger" Dulcea said.

"Agreed" Dulcea 2 said replying to her counterpart.

"Then It's Morphing Time" Tommy shouted.

The Morphin Rangers and the Time Force Rangers all morphed and teleported away as did the Dulcea's and Veronica leaving me with the Turbo Rangers.

"You okay?" Hannah asked.

"I'm fine, just worried about Rachel" I replied.

"She'll be okay, she has a whole team to look out for her" Hannah replied.

"I know, but I still can't help worrying" I said. Then I paused and continued. "Okay lets get this show on the road. Mike & Leo Corbett, Damon Henderson, Kendrix Morgan and Kai Chen how would you like to be Power Rangers" I asked.

"Be a Power Ranger, are you serious?" Damon 2 asked.

"Deadly and if you're willing the six of us will travel to Miranoi and retrieve the Quasar Sabres if they are there" I said.

"Hold on, you said I became something called the Magna Defender" Mike 2 asked.

"I did, but I also said that you were the one who pulled the Red Quasar Sabre, I don't know if Leo was the one destined to remove it from the stone, but the one destined to use it instead. Look, whatever the case maybe you'd be helping your world" I said.

"I'm in" Leo 2 said.

After his agreement the others followed but with slightly less enthusiasm as Leo and they began to prepare for the journey.

"Adam are you sure about this? I mean these aren't the same people you know, do you really think you can trust them?" Jo asked.

"I know they are not the same people, but Rachel telepathically scanned them earlier and she doesn't sense any evil intentions at all" I said.

"Rachel used her telepathy on others without them knowing, isn't that a little unethical" Jo said.

"It is, but in this case I'm acting first and then asking questions later. Besides I have a plan anyway, well time to go" I said.

Joining the others in a circle I gave a nod to the other S Clubbers and then I teleported us out.

In another part of the galaxy the Morphin Rangers and others reappeared on Phaedos.

"Okay everyone know what they have to do?" Tommy saw all the nods and then continued. "Then lets get it done".

With a nod the other Morphin Rangers fell in line and started to follow Veronica. Meanwhile the Time Force Rangers had barely reappeared when they found themselves in the middle of a fight.

"Well this is fun" Lucas shouted over the noise.

"Young Ranger instead of speaking, conserve your energy and fight" Ninjor said.

Lucas bit back a reply and instead took out two Piranhatrons with a swipe of his chronosaber. The fight continued and both Rangers and the enemy suffered as Katie was left cradling an injured shoulder and busy being protected by Jen.

"Wes, we're getting our butts kicked here. This is crazy we have to fall back" Trip argued.

"No, we fall back now and we might never get another chance. The Morphin Rangers will fulfil there end of the plan, we have to do the same" Wes replied.

"Ok, but just so you know, if we die I'm going to blame you" Trip said.

Wes started to laugh, but that was lost as he was knocked to the floor by several Piranhatrons and the battle continued.

Light years away and in the universe known as the Lost Galaxy one Ranger and five others arrived at their destination and I looked on in shock and distress.

"I can't believe it, even here the stain of evil touches" I said.

"I take it, this place doesn't look like this normally" Kendrix 2 asked.

"No, in the universe that I'm a Ranger it's a thriving colony of Miranites and people from the colony of Terra Venture. Come on we have to find the village if Maya is here then that's where she could be" I said.

"Lead the way" Leo 2 said.

As we walked I looked around and shook my head as I took in the destruction and so wrapped up in it, I almost didn't here the noise.. almost.

With a shout a figure dropped down in front of us, she wore a two piece yellow outfit and her hair was a longer than her counterpart, but it was her, it was. "Maya".

"How do you know my name?" she demanded.

"We're friends" I automatically answered.

"How can that be, we've never seen each other before this moment" Maya 2 said defensively.

"Long story, but I'm from another dimension and in that dimension you and I are friends" I tried to explain.

"Words, just words, you could easily work for him and intend to take more of us" Maya 2 said angrily.

"Who is taking more of you" Kendrix 2 asked.

"Mutiny" Maya 2 spat the name out with a lot of hate.

"Oh that guy, wonderful, maybe we can help you out with that" I said.

"Even if you aren't working for him, what can you do to help?" Maya 2 asked a little more cautiously.

"I'm a Power Ranger and these five well four of them are also supposed to be Rangers in my dimension. I'm hoping the same is true of this dimension. You're also a Ranger as I can see" I said finally noticing the morpher on her wrist.

"Yes, I wield the power of the yellow Quasar Sabre" Maya 2 answered.

"Look I don't think we should be standing out here in the open, something isn't right" I said.

"I know, we can go the village and then we can go to the stone" Maya 2 said.

"Why can't we go and get these Sabres right now" Mike 2 asked.

"Because it isn't safe out here and I don't see you carrying any weapons" Maya 2 replied.

Before I could stop Mike he'd reached over and grabbed Maya by the throat and started to speak. "Listen you stupid little girl, do you think we're here because we want to play a game, our world is dying and so is our universe we need the sabres to help free it".

Maya opened her mouth although no sound could be heard and then there was a sound and Mike let go of her and fell to the floor clutching his groin.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, Maya may look sweet and innocent, but she certainly isn't helpless and I guess things don't change even here" I said with a smirk. "Maya lead on, we'll stop at your village".

Maya nodded and with her in the lead and myself bringing up the rear we headed for her village.

Back on Phaedos the Morphin Rangers were in the midst of a major fight. The Rangers were split into pairs fighting back to back and the two Dulcea's and Veronica were fighting together as well. To the onlooker it was as though you were watching one person with the Dulcea's as their skills matched exactly. Meanwhile Veronica relied on the training she had been given when she was trained to be Astronema.

"Come on, where's the evil or do you want no part of me" Dulcea excitedly shouted.

The older Dulcea tried to suppress her amusement and tried to remember if she had ever been so enthusiastic as her younger self carved her way through the enemy.

Meanwhile the two newer Rangers Emily and Rachel were fighting closely together. Rachel was using her telepathic abilities to great effect by causing the enemy to either freeze up as she took control of their motor functions allowing Emily to take them down for good. The two continued this way for a while until sheer volume of them caused them to resort to just punching and kick their way to safety.

Meanwhile the Time Force Rangers and Ninjor were finishing up their fight.

"Well that was too easy. I mean we were outnumbered by them and they almost quit" Jen said cautiously.

"Indeed I suspect they wouldn't have given up so easily, unless they had something else more pressing to attend to" Ninjor agreed.

"Why the grim guys, we won and the Temple of Power is free, shouldn't we not look a gift horse in the mouth" Wes said.

"Look a gift horse in the mouth. Why would anyone want to look a horse in the mouth" Trip asked Wes.

Wes started to reply and then there was a flash of light and all five Time Force Rangers and Ninjor disappeared. From its hiding place behind a rock face a small floating device appeared and it spoke in a mechanical tone. "Objective achieved. Prepare for examination". Then it too disappeared in a flash of light.

Meanwhile unaware of what had happened the future Galaxy Rangers had arrived at the Maya's village.

"Jara are you here, we have visitors" Maya called out.

The Village elder appeared from a hut and seemed very relieved to see Maya and then he took in the newcomers and he hesitated.

"Maya why have you brought them here, don't you know visitors are no longer welcome here" Jara demanded.

"It's okay, I can't explain it, but I feel like I know them all and one of them is a Ranger" Maya said.

At that I raised my hand and revealed the morpher partially hidden by my shirt and the village elder seemed to visibly relax.

"While I greet you young Ranger, do not mistake I do not welcome you" Jara said.

"Please forgive Jara, he is just being protective of his village" Maya said.

"I completely understand, if it were my home I would be suspicious of strangers" I said understanding.

Kendrix started to say something when she was cut off by the sound of teleportation beam and I turned to see. "Swabbies & Mutiny" I said.

"Ah more captives for the taking" Mutiny said.

"I think you'll find I'm a lot harder to catch than you think. Go Galactic" I shouted.

In a burst of energy I transformed into the White Galaxy Ranger and grabbing my Quasar Sabre I leapt into the midst of the Swabbies and began to kick, punch and strike out at all of them. Even as I did so I was vaguely aware of Maya morphing as well and the soon to be Rangers also leaping into the fray. In minutes the extremely confident Mutiny and his forces realised that they were outmatched started to back off.

"What's the matter Mutiny, you scared" Leo 2 called out.

"We'll be back" Mutiny said as he teleported away with his Swabbies.

"We'll be waiting" Mike 2 said.

"You saved us, you truly are here to help us" Jara said surprised.

"Yes, we are. That's what Power Rangers do" I replied.

"Now I think I should help you out by taking you the stone" Maya said.

I nodded grateful as Maya led the way. Across the dimensional wall on Phaedos the Morphin Rangers had finally overcome the enemy and they had retreated leaving the Rangers on the outside of the base.

"So what's the plan?" Emily asked.

"I'm going to tap into base's mainframe and shut this place down. Then you guys can blow it to kingdom come" Veronica said.

"How long do you need?" Tommy asked.

"Give me five minutes to get into the system and then another five minutes to crash the system" Veronica answered.

"You've got the ten minutes you need, just keep out of sight and be ready" Jason said.

As Veronica got to work, I was following Maya through the jungle and into a clearing where the stone rested and in it five sabres.

"Are they the sabres?" Kai 2 asked.

"They are indeed, the Quasar Sabres. Your destiny awaits all you have to do is take it by the hand" I said.

"How come there are five Sabres? You said that I was need to free the Red Sabre for my brother, but there is still going to be one sabre left" Mike 2 asked.

"If as in my universe then the other sabre is meant for my counterpart and well since he's no longer on the side of angels. Look just go ahead and do what I told you to do" I said.

Mike nodded and he and the other four except for Leo walked to the stone and removed the respective sabres. Then Mike with a look of sadness passed the sword to Leo and watched as the energies consumed the four and they were transformed into Power Rangers.

"Wow this is amazing" Damon 2 said.

"I can't believe it, we're Power Rangers" Kendrix 2 agreed.

"Yes, Power Rangers just in time to be destroyed" Mutiny said.

Turning I saw Mutiny and a whole squad of Swabbies. "Oh your back" I said.

"And ready to destroy you. Thanks for taking the sabres, I'll take them now Rangers" Mutiny said. "Oh one more thing thank you my pet for leading them to the stone, now I have a complete collection".

At that I watched as Maya detached herself from the group and with a smirk joined Mutiny and his forces.

"Why?" I asked.

"The way I see it you are either the hunter or the hunted and I was sick of being the hunted. I found I could release the sabre and I realised that it would bring the chosen warriors here and then I would take the power and alongside Mutiny we would rule this galaxy" Maya 2 explained.

"Not going to happen. We're going to stop you" Leo 2 said.

"I doubt it, you are outnumbered and unsure of your new-found powers" Maya 2 said.

"Well, you don't get anywhere by not trying. Let's take them out" Mike 2 said.

With a nod the new Rangers dove into battle against Mutiny, the Swabbies and Maya. Back on Phaedos the first sound the Rangers had heard in ten minutes was the sound of triumph.

"Yes I did it" Veronica said.

As she did so all across the base there was the sound of a generator going out and the Rangers looked on suitably impressed.

"I couldn't have done a better job myself" Billy commented.

Thanks Billy. Now its time for you to do your stuff" Veronica said.

"Let's just set the charges for five minutes and blow this joint" Dulcea said.

"I couldn't agree more, let us rid Phaedos of the evil" Dulcea 2 said.

"Did I really sound like that? I mean y'know you could have said lets make like a banana and split" Dulcea complained.

"Can we stick to the point. Everyone has charges spread out and set them up and then we'll blow this place to kingdom come" Tommy said ignoring the two.

With nods the eight Morphin Rangers quickly laid the charges and then moving a safe distance from the base Dulcea pressed the button and watched with satisfaction as the building was instantly turned to dust.

"Score one more for the good guys" Zack said.

"Indeed, I can no longer sense any evil on this planet, we have won Rangers" Dulcea 2 said.

"Y'know you could sound more enthusiastic about it" Dulcea suggested.

"I could, but I sense something has happened to Ninjor and the Time Force Rangers, I can't feel Ninjor's presence" Dulcea 2 said.

"Do you mean they are dead?" Trini asked concerned.

"No, I can feel the goodness from the Temple of Power which means its no longer held by the Emperor's forces, but I can't sense them. Something must have happened" Dulcea 2 answered.

"Something did happen to them and it's the same thing that is going to happen to you" a voice snarled.

Whirling around the Rangers turned to see Devastator stood their weapons in his hands. "Hello Rangers, did you think I was gone for good. Not a chance, your friends are my prisoners and well I'm finished yet so I think I'll take the bitch that betrayed my master back so I can punish her for her betrayal".

A that Veronica paled and took a step back in concern even as a voice came out of nowhere. "You aren't taking her anywhere". Then before the eyes of a very surprised group of people appeared.

"The Phantom Ranger" Billy said not sounding the least bit surprised.

"At your service" Jon said.

"How did you? Where did you come from?" Kim asked.

"I've been here the whole time. Adam suggested to Tommy I go as backup, but remain hidden and help out when needed. You don't think that Emily and Rachel took down all those Cogs on their own did you" Jon explained.

"Very clever, but it won't stop me taking her back" Devastator snarled.

Even as he spoke Jon cloaked again and Devastator felt something smacking into his head and then knocking his legs from underneath him and he fell to the floor in a heap. Struggling to his feet Devastator looked on as the Phantom Ranger reappeared.

"Enough of this, there will be another time Astronema" Devastator said as he vanished.

"God are all villains as corny, I'm mean come on that was hardly scary" Dulcea tried to point out.

Even as she spoke Jon was busy talking to Veronica who was beginning to look a little less pale and then much to Jon's embarrassment the former princess of evil gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"So what do we do now? I mean if Ninjor is missing, he can't create any new power coins and well from where I'm standing the mission was a bit of a failure" Zack muttered.

"Perhaps, but at least we've freed the two places and if Adam has come through then I say good has done pretty well today" Tommy replied.

"Agreed, once we locate Ninjor wherever he is, we can get him to create new power coins and then empower new Rangers here. I don't think we failed, we've just had a small delay" Kim agreed.

"We should get back to Earth and let them know that we've partially succeeded" Jason said.

Nodding the group of heroes teleported back home. As they teleported Rachel looked over and couldn't help but notice that Veronica was holding on to Jon as though fearing she was going to be snatched at any moment.

Back on Miranoi the fight continued and while the Swabbies had the superior numbers and more experience the Rangers soon found they were outmatching the enemy.

"Ah White Ranger so you dare face Captain Mutiny" Mutiny said with a laugh.

"I dare face you and I'll take you down" I said.

With that I launched into a fist fight with Mutiny. Now back when Terra Venture had entered the Lost Galaxy I hadn't been there and I didn't know what I was facing and lucky for me neither did Mutiny and in minutes Mutiny fell before the power of the White Galaxy Ranger.

As Mutiny was beaten Maya also collapsed to the floor in a heap where she had been fighting Kendrix. Leaving the beaten Mutiny I went to her side to see the girl removing her helmet and looking rather confused.

"What just happened, the last thing I remember is being grabbed and" Maya 2 started to babble.

"It's okay Maya, whatever Mutiny did to you is gone and so is he" I said.

"Oh you think so" Mutiny called out as he grew to giant proportions.

"Uh oh, this can't be good" Damon 2 muttered.

"It could be, I hope the Galactabeasts are here in this reality. Galactabeasts arise" I shouted in hope.

For a long moment there was no sound or reaction and then faintly I heard the roar of the Lion Galactabeast and it was joined by its five companions. In seconds they came together to form the Galaxy Megazord and we charged into battle against Mutiny. With a lot of luck a sword strike got underneath Mutiny's guard and he staggered back and with one more swipe Captain Mutiny and his reign of terror ended.

Demorphing we returned to the village and were greeted like heroes by the villagers.

"Thank you Rangers you have destroyed our enemy and freed us from evil" Jara said.

"It was our pleasure. It's what Rangers do?" Mike 2 said.

"Guys its time to go back to Earth. Maya I'm not going to pressure you into coming with us and I understand if you wanted to stay" I said.

"I'm coming with you, you helped save my world, now it is my turn to help you free yours" Maya 2 said.

With that she said her good-byes and joined us. "I think its time we went home" Kendrix 2 said.

Nodding the seven of us teleported out and back to Earth. We arrived shortly after the jubilant Morphin Rangers had arrived back and I immediately found Rachel who looked cheerful, but also worried at the same time.

"What is it?" I asked concerned.

"The Time Force Rangers and Ninjor, they freed the Temple of Power but they went missing after that" Rachel answered.

"Don't worry, we'll find them" I said confidently.

With that we joined the small celebration of victory and welcome for the new Rangers knowing full well that more battles lay ahead.

Meanwhile somewhere else Wes listened to the screams of his fellow Time Force Rangers and despite the chains tried to close his ears to their screams knowing full well there was nothing he could do to help them. Yet!

THE END!
