The inhabitants of this world are not much different from you and I, that is except one. One individual is isolated from the rest of the world. He lives in the ancient shrine to Lady Borealis, a specter who sees all time, and uses her gift for good. Our story begins on one day when this individual, whose name will be kept a secret for now, is standing in front of Lady Borealis' crystal container talking with the being.<P> <B>Figure:</B> My lady, I sense a disruption in the space/time continuum.<P> <B>Borealis:</B> Yes. I have felt it as well. It is hard to explain, but the disturbance is not from anywhere in our universe.<P> <B>Figure:</B> Where then?<P> <B>Borealis:</B> It is emanating from our planet, but our planet in a different dimension. There is a great evil attacking our world. It wants to destroy the universe, and all other universes as well.<P> <B>Figure:</B> My lady, is there anything we can do?<P> <B>Borealis:</B> There is a way. You have appeared to the Power Rangers of Earth before. They have the Dream Key.<P> <B>Figure:</B> I don't understand.<P> <B>Borealis:</B> The Dream Key is not only a bridge between the world of humans and the world of fantasy, it also a link, a gateway, between all dimensions. You must appear to the rangers again in your transparent form as you have before. You must tell them to use the Dream Key to reach the paradise dimension of Austoros.<P> <B>Figure:</B> Why there?<P> <B>Borealis:</B> All will be revealed in time. Hurry. This disruption causes all beings locked in time warps, like myself, to grow ill. I can sense Zordon of Eltar growing deathly ill as we speak. Now, go. Please hurry.<P> The light from the crystal fades away, leaving the figure standing there in the shadows. The figure raises a hand to the crystal, revealing a golden, ranger-like glove.<P> <b>Figure:</B> I won't let you down, my lady. I won't let you down.<P> <p><center>~*~</center></p><P>

Let us now go to Earth. On the shores of the great Atlantic Ocean is the city of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. In one of the many parks, there are two figures seated on a park bench. The two people are talking with each other about familiar subjects.<P> <B>Theresa:</B> Keith, I don't know if I can carry on without you.<P> <B>Keith:</B> Does protecting the world from evil mean so little to you?<P> <B>Theresa:</B> Saving the world is no small feat, but it hurts me to see you so alone.<P> Keith takes Theresa's hand in his.<P> <B>Keith:</B> A man who has friends like you is never alone.<P> <B>Theresa:</B> Keith, I just don't want to hurt you.<P> <B>Keith:</B> Theresa, nothing you can say or do can ever hurt me. I've never felt so alive in my entire life. The Brown Crystal really made me appreciate life a lot more. I really care about you. I want what's best for you. And right now, you need to be a ranger. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.<P> <B>Theresa:</B> Whatever you say. My feelings for you will never change.<P> Their faces lean toward each other, quickly closing the distance between the two. Before their lips can meet, a strange humming is heard from the fountain in front of them.<P> <B>Keith:</B> Oh, not this again!<P> Instead of one of Zedd's monsters facing them, a transparent golden figure is seen standing in the fountain. It is the same figure that was described before.<P> <B>Theresa:</B> What in the world…?<P> <B>Figure:</B> Rangers, I need your help.<P> <B>Keith:</B> Who are you?<P> <B>Figure:</B> I cannot tell you that at present. There is a disturbance in the fabric of the space time continuum. If this tear continues to grow, our universe will be destroyed, as well as all other universes.<P> <B>Theresa:</B> So, why do you need us?<P> <B>Figure:</B> The only way to stop the tear is to travel to the paradise dimension Austoros. I searched your planet. You are the only two who can survive the trip.<P> <B>Keith:</B> But I'm not a ranger anymore.<P> <B>Figure:</B> I am aware of that. I sent you to your Command Center to receive the Dream Key. I see, too, that you have bestowed it to your friend here. The magic I used to search your planet will not fail. Ranger or not, you must come and help me. Please. I ask you as a fellow ranger.<P> <B>Theresa:</B> We'll go in a heartbeat. What do we have to do?<P> <B>Figure:</B> Use the Dream Key. The Dream Key can take you both to Austoros.<P> A white flash of light forms the Dream Key in Theresa's hand.<P> <B>Theresa:</B> Keith, are you sure you want to do this?<P> <B>Keith:</B> You don't see me running away, do you?<P> <B>Theresa:</B> Okay, then. Here goes. Dream Key, provide us both safe passage to the plane of Austoros.<P> The Dream Key leaves Theresa's hand and opens a dimensional gateway above the park bench. In a second the two teens are sent flying through a tunnel of negative space. The air around them swirls violently, creating a monstrous vortex. The two teens hold tightly to each other for dear life. In a flash, the Dream Key is returned to Theresa's hand as the two teens set foot on the ground of Austoros.<P>
