Chapter 1 : When things go wrong.

"Enjoy the forest boys," the foul voice laughed. His decayed, yellow teeth smiled at the young men standing before him. In his hand he held a device with many buttons. "It'll be your prison from now on." He pushed a button and the two men were trapped in a sturdy, glass cylinder. The two pounded on the glass prison, but it was no use, they were trapped. The man, a bounty hunter called Evir Onslaught was wanted on the majority of surrounding planets for his cruel acts such as the kidnapping and the massive slaughter of thousands of beings. He was known as a man of mystery, always concealing his eyes with a heavy helmet and a long, dark, leather robe covering his body. His evil smile was enough to frighten even those with much courage within their hearts. Evir Onslaught laughed almost hysterically as he pushed another button that dropped the glass cylinder down into the endless forest below.

Evir Onslaught's large spacecraft was only a few feet off the ground so the glass did not shatter upon the impact. It only split in half and released the two men trapped within. As the spacecraft flew into the deep vacuum of space, a malevolent laugh could be heard filling the air.

"Great..," said Mike as he sighed deeply and looked towards the gray, cloud-filled sky. "Where are we now?"

"This truly is the worst day of my life!" Leo yelled in a pretty loud tone that the forest was filled with the echo of his voice. Several birds flew into the air out of fright. One such bird flew directly above Leo and a white, sticky, smelly substance landed upon his head. Leo rolled his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. Then he headed for the nearby spring.

Mike tried not to laugh. He really did, but he couldn't help it. He had to do it. It was his nature. Besides who wouldn't laugh at something as funny as this. He knew though, that this was not the time for such humor. Their location was still uncertain and they had no way to contact the others for help. They did have a communicator, but it was broken and useless to them now. They must now survive in this alien forest to get out of this situation and this time without the use of their powers. Evir Onslaught had made sure that they would have no use of their powers when he stole both their morphers back on his ship. He had mentioned something about using them as bait to lure the other galaxy rangers and possibly any other rangers who might decide to go on a rescue mission. Without the red galaxy ranger and the magna defender, Evir Onslaught knew that the galaxy rangers were now weakened. This would be the perfect opportunity for him to wreak havok in this particular region of the galaxy.

Leo returned, his hair damp and messy. But as he returned he had accidentally stepped on a big, brown, pile of animal droppings. The entire bottom of his shoes were covered with the vile substance. Leo yelled angrily at himself and went back to the spring to clean his shoes.

Mike just scratched his head in annoyance. Leo should have been watching his every step. There was no knowing of what dangers may lurk in a place like this. "Leo! Enough of your foolishness! We have to get out of this place!"

Leo returned once more. This time his shoes and the bottom of his pants were drenched. "C'mon let's go," he said a bit furious at himself for being so careless and inattentive on this particular day.

Mike had already went ahead of Leo and Leo ran behind him, struggling to catch up. "Wait up bro!" he yelled, trying to slow Mike down.

Chapter 2 : When Bonds Begin to Break

The two brothers had been wandering throughout the forest for several hours. The cloud filled sky began to darken and tiny drops of water began to fall on the ground. Just when Leo thought the bad luck had ended, he stumbled upon a tree root and fell on his back. "Great... Things couldn't possibly get worse...," Leo complained. He hated this day and there was nothing he could do to change it.

Mike stopped to help his brother back up and Leo headed for a nearby tree and rested upon its sturdy trunk. Mike settled himself in a tree directly across the tree in which Leo sat. "Look what I got us into this time," Leo chuckled and shook his head. "I guess we're stuck in this one."

"Yea... You always do these things," Mike agreed. There was a brief moment of silence between them, but it was soon interrupted by a sudden downpour of rain. Luckily, the trees provided them with shelter from the cold drops of water.

"I wonder what I'd be doing if I wasn't a ranger," Leo thought aloud. He looked into the cloud filled sky searching for the star that was earth. "If I was still on earth.." The clouds were in his way and he was a bit angry at them. He longed to see earth once more but he was too far to ever experience its life and beauty ever again.

Mike was slightly annoyed. There was no more time to think of past things anymore. Their concentration should be on things of the present and things that are, not on things that once were and will probably never be again. "It's not the time time to think about that kind of stuff."

"Yea I know," Leo somewhat agreed but not fully. "But what if..."

Now Mike was angered. He hated those two words. "You always think about 'what ifs'. There's no point in thinking about 'what ifs'. I mean, what if we weren't here right now? What if you hadn't gotten us into this mess? What if you weren't so stupid most of the time? Or what if you hadn't been born? Wait..No.." Mike couldn't believe he had just said such hurtful words. He knew Leo looked up to him. Why did he have to let him down now?

"You really think that I shouldn't have been born?" the hurt could clearly be seen in Leo's eyes and heard in his voice.

"Wait.. Leo.. I didn't-"

"I know Mike. I know I'm a failure in every single way. Each and everyday I struggle to be as great as you." Leo stood to leave and Mike noticed a small trace of a tear falling from Leo's eyes. "You didn't have to rub it in.."

"But Leo I-"

"I am a pathetic brother as well as a power ranger," Leo said before disappearing into the dark cloak that was called a forest.

"I'm sorry.." Mike apologized. But Leo did not hear. He was already deep within the vastness of the forest.

Chapter 3 : When Things are as they should be (or almost)

"Leo!" Mike's loud shouts filled the forest. He had been searching for Leo for what seemed like hours and he still found no trace of him. He was growing weary and the rain hindered his path. He had nearly slipped on the muddy floor once. Guilt was quickly consuming him and he stopped to strike a tree with his fists out of frustration. "Damn it Leo! I didn't mean it!" He really didn't mean it, but he still didn't know where those words came from. Somehow he would make Leo understand how much he cared for him and that he was proud of him. If only he could find him.

Mike kept wandering without no clue of which direction he was headed for. It was still dark and the rain still poured. His eyes must have been wandering when he saw a trail of footsteps on the ground. He thought his eyes might have been deceiving him for that one moment. He moved closer to see and when he reached them he was relieved that they truly were footsteps. He followed the muddy trail, hoping that the marks belonged to Leo.

The trail led him to a thicker and more secluded area of the forest where the trees were taller and the rain poured less in this area. Though small drops penetrated through the thick roof of leaves, the area was still dry. The trail ended in the center of the area where a massive tree ruled over the other ones. Mike was glad to see Leo was there at its base.

"Hey..." Mike approached Leo and then sat beside him.

"Hey," Leo answered back. His eyes were directed to the floor and his hands were folded together.

"You know I didn't-"

"But it's al true!" Leo interrupted him. His eyes still stayed fixed on the ground. "I always ruin everything for you! I let you down! I couldn't even help you when you needed it. I even took away your right to become the red ranger! I'm a failure in every way."

"Don't ever think that!" Mike warned. He couldn't believe Leo could ever think such nonsense. He wrapped one arm around Leo's shoulder. "You were destined to be the red ranger and I the Magna Defender. You took no such thing from me. " Mike moved to face Leo. "If I ever hear you say anything like that again I'll be forced to beat you down like a big brother should," he joked.

Leo chuckled for a brief moment. "I'm sorry Mike.."

"There's nothing to be sorry about," he said as he pulled Leo into a comforting hug and held him tightly "It should be me apologizing."

Leo took in the comfort of the embrace. In an instant all the rain had ceased and light returned to the once dark forest. The light was a sign that the two brothers would be able to make it through the day and through the dangers of the mysterious forest.

Chapter 4 : When Pink and Yellow Powers Unite

Back on Earth

Onslaught's ship had finally arrived on the planet called Earth. He had never been on this particular planet before, but his sources told him that it was thriving with life and populated with potential bounties. His usual entrance to a planet would usually consist of a ton of fireworks, coming from the two large guns located on his ship, but he decided to skip the grand entrance this time because he believed that this planet didn't pose much of a threat.

His first target was a small community called Angel Grove. The population was little but there was an enormous amount of energy coming from its people. This place would be the perfect target, but little did he know that this place was protected by an ancient power that he had nearly forgotten about.

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Trini and Kimberly sat inside the place that once stood as Ernie's Cafe. They had been best friends since they were little and decided to spend their vacation together. But the two realized Ernie was no longer working here. Those days had passed and now everything was different. They missed those good old days, but they knew that it was not good to dwell on things of the past.

"Remember that spot over there?" Trini pointed out. Her finger pointed towards a clear area by the counter. "Look over there."

Kimberly quickly glanced towards the area in which Trini was pointing. She shook her head briefly. "Yea... That's where Bulk asked me out once." She giggled softly at the painfully annoying memory.

"You actually remember that?" Trini was shocked Kimberly would actually remember someone like Bulk. Especially since he was so idiotic and vile. But she wasn't talking about that. Her thoughts dwelled on something else. "No. Don't you remember? That's where we were first transported to the command center and received our powers."

"Hmm... Of course I remember,Trini," She stared down her cup for while and seemed a bit distant.

Suddenly an explosion could be heard outside and interrupted Kimberly's thoughts of the past. Instinctively, the two got up from their seats and ran outside to see the current happenings.

Outside the sky was darkened and a black spaceship hung over the area blocking the sunlight. There was a man directly below the ship dressed in a black coat and a helmet. In his hands he held a gun and used it to shoot any nearby civilians. "You people are worthless," he yelled as he shot one victim after another.

Kimberly and Trini ran after him with the intention of stopping whatever it was he was planning. "Stop right there!" Trini proclaimed.

Trini's slight form didn't intimidate the man but it certainly seemed funny to him that such a puny little girl would dare challenge him.

"What gives you the right to hurt innocent people?" Kim added. After years of experience a man like this didn't even come close to scaring her. There was no reply from the man. Instead the man raised his gun towards them and prepared to fire.

"I never thought we'd ever have to do this again," Kim said. "Now's a good time to do it. You ready Trini?"

Trini nodded and two morphers materialized from their backs. Like old times the two stretched out their arms, preparing to morph. "It's morphin time!" They said together.

"Pterodactyl!" Kim yelled. She was then surrounded by a blinding pink light and when all was done the pink power ranger stood before the enemy.

"Saber toothed tiger!" Trini followed. She was then enveloped in white energy. In a matter of moments the yellow power ranger stood beside the pink ranger.

"Rangers? Here?" the man screamed angrily. His hand reached for another gun located on his boots. As he shot at the two rangers, red beams of light shot from the tip of the gun.

Through a series of jumps and flips the rangers were able to avoid the enemy fire. The rangers then removed their own guns from where they were located and began to fire. The man too was athletic and agile and he dodged each of their shots with ease.

Suddenly another shot fired through the air."Look over here!" came two other voices from out of nowhere. "We're the space rangers!" they introduced themselves. Just then the man turned to see who it was. Two other rangers, one yellow the other pink, stood in the distance ready to aid their fellow rangers. This left the man distracted and left him open for an attack.

"Power Bow!" Kimberly yelled out as she jumped in the air and fired an arrow from her bow. It sped quickly through the air and finally landed on the man's left leg. The man screamed out in pain as it penetrated through flesh and bone.

"Power Daggers!" came Trini's voice as she too jumped in the air and took a slice at the man's left hand. The daggers cut through the man's hand like a scissors cuts through a thin sheet of paper and it landed lifelessly on the ground. The man made no sound, but instead kneeled down on the floor holding his handless arm in pain.

"Star Slinger!" yelled the yellow space ranger as she fired from her weapon. A bright, yellow beam of light shot from her weapon and struck the man. Sparks flew around as the yellow beams landed on its target.

"Satellite Stunner!" the pink space ranger followed. Pink waves of energy emitted from her satellite shaped weapon and stunned the enemy. She stood there holding her weapon hoping their combined attacks would be enough to stop the man.

Smoke filled the area where the man once stood and the rangers put away their weapons thinking they had succeeded. The rangers also powered down and returned to their human forms. When the smoke had finally cleared, an unmoving figure lie on the floor. The four women quickly approached the figure, wanting to question him.

"Who are you?" Kimberly questioned. She kicked the man so that she could look upon his face.

The man made no reply to her question. Unexpectedly, he jumped back to his feet and attacked the four women with a few hard kicks and punches. His blows were quick and strong and his left hand was mysteriously reappearing. Surprised and overwhelmed, the four women gave into unconsciousness.

Using this opportunity to take their morphers and their only chance to defeat him, he carried each of their unconscious forms to his ship and smiled at the many possible things he could do to these rangers.

I do think you could have interduced the Space Rangers into the story alot better though, not just a 'Here we come to save the day" from nowhere.

Chapter 5: When Demons Are Away, The Bounty Hunter Will Play

Back on his spaceship, Onslaught planned the next location he would target. He remembered hearing about a place once full of much evil. A place called Mariner Bay. It was likely he would run into something interesting in this area. Setting his coordinates to that specific area, he quickly looked back at his earlier catch. The four rangers stood in a glass prison located behind Onslaught, unconscious and unaware of what was happening.

<><><><><><><><><>

Mariner Bay was a beautiful place to be during the hot summers. It was this location that Jason decided to spend his vacation. He had asked all of his old friends to come along with him, but it seemed like they all had plans of their own. Kat was the only one who decided to go. She had nothing planned for the summer and decided to do something interesting in her presently boring life.

Jason and Kat stood in the center of the city where a festival was taking place, their cameras flashing as they took several of pictures of all the excitement happening around them.

All this was interrupted by a massive object blocking out the sunlight. It looked like an aircraft used for space travel and it was very dark in color. Two large guns were located on its side, ready to fire at any given time. Citizens panicked and ran all over the place, trying to escape its path.

As the area cleared completely of citizens, save for Jason and Kat, the shipped stopped right above the two. As the ship stood there, unmoving, a white flash of light exited the ship and landed on the ground where Kat and Jason stood. Just as the light appeared so did a man, cloaked in black. The two jumped back assuming a fighting stance, ready to defend if necessary.

"Show me this great power within you!" he demanded from them. He didn't know for sure that they were power rangers, but he sensed great power from within them. These two would certainly help him make a lot of money in the galactic black market. His gun lie upon his hand pointed at his two new targets. He was ready to fire at them if they ever became hostile.

A siren blared through the air and a yellow jeep came speeding through the streets. Inside the jeep sat a man covered in a light, red jacket. He stopped his vehicle beside the two tourists and jumped out. "You might want to get out of here," he told them. His expression was one of seriousness and concern. "I'll take care of this."

"Who are you?" Kat questioned the young man. She was already prepared to fight the threat that stood before her. "Don't mess around kid."

"I'm Carter Grayson, Lightspeed Rescue, Red Ranger," Carter introduced himself. He revealed his morpher to further prove his claim.

"You're a ranger?" Kat said slightly amused. Her accent could barely be noticed and she was unconvinced at this young boys claim to be a power ranger. She thought he was joking. He certainly didn't look like a power ranger. Much less the red ranger. "This is really not a time to mess around. We can handle this!"

"Indeed it isn't" he replied to the somewhat insulting comments. He then yelled "Lightspeed Rescue" as he activated his morpher. A red energy field engulfed Carter's body as he turned from a regular human to the Red Lightspeed Rescue Ranger.

Jason and Kat stood there, amazed that this kid turned out to be an actual power ranger. They briefly nodded at each other and prepared themselves. "Come on Kat," Jason reached for his golden staff. "It's morphin time!"

"Zeo Ranger One! Pink!" Kat yelled as she put one wrist over another to activate her morpher. She combined the first half of her morpher with the other then a sudden flash of pink filled the area. In a matter of seconds the pink Zeo ranger appeared.

It was Jason's turn to morph. A sudden feeling of excitement began to build up within him at the thought of being able to use his powers once again. "Gold Ranger Power!" This time golden waves of energy surrounded his body turning him into the legendary gold ranger. Soon the gold ranger was back in action once again.

The three rangers stood by each others side looking confident in their ability to take out this new threat.

"What do you want with us?" Jason demanded to know.

The dark man was speechless and answered with a blast from his weapon. As the shots fired a great battle between the dark figure and the protectors of the earth ensued.

Chapter 6 : When Five Isn't Enough

Justin had just arrived in Mariner Bay. He was there with his father to visit an old friend of his. All Justin had learned about his father's friend was that his name was Chad Lee and that he was some sort of hero in this particular part of the city. He also found out that Chad was very young. Much, much older than his father is and he wondered silently to himself why his father would associate with someone half his age.

***
Justin was less than enthusiastic when he found out what his father had planned for him. It turned out that his father had enlisted him in a lifeguard training program and this Chad Lee was to be his instructor. His father thought that Chad would be the best person to fulfill such a task.

They drove to the beach; the sun was still high up in the air and the warm afternoon air made Justin sweat just a little. A man wearing blue shorts awaited them at the edge of the beach where the road and the sand met.

Justin's father greeted the man with a simple handshake and urged Justin to do the same.

Justin hesitated a little, but eventually approached the man and shook his hand. Chad was tall and had a light tan with the looks of a guy who probably worked on Baywatch. There was much sand in his dark hair and the sun made each tiny grain sparkle like a shimmering diamond. "You must be Chad," he said. "I'm Justin. It's nice to meet you... I guess.."

"It's nice to meet you too Justin," Chad responded although he was a bit more enthusiastic about it. "I'll be your trainer from now on. Hope you know how to swim."

Justin made no response, but as soon as he looked over his shoulder his father had already jumped back into his car. "Take care son!" his father yelled from afar. "I'll come back to pick you up in about 3 weeks! Chad here will take care of you."

Before Justin could make any objections his father had already turned on the ignition and drove off, leaving Justin there all alone with his strange new "friend". "Three weeks of life guarding stuff.. I can't wait...," he shook his head and rolled is eyes then turned to the man who'd be his guardian for the next three weeks.

It had to be that moment when he was about to ask Chad something that a loud explosion ripped through his ears. Aside from the explosions were also screams of distressed citizens and sirens wailing.

"Stay here kid," Chad commanded. He reached in his small bag located on the floor,
for a shirt. "I'll be right back." Quickly putting on the blue garment, he ran towards the source of the noises.

Justin was left totally alone now, but he felt the need to follow Chad. He sensed that something was wrong and that he was needed. For a brief moment he thought about going against Chad's instructions and that he shouldn't go and follow him. It didn't take long for him to realize that whenever there was danger, instructions were not important. Especially when there was the possible chance that people's lives were at stake. He knew something was wrong and the ever-growing urge to do something about it overwhelmed him. Without delay, he ran towards the direction he saw Chad run off to. He ran until his feet ached, only to be encouraged when the screams of victims filled the air. He kept running even as the buildings threatened to collapse around him. He ran until he reached Chad who was standing there watching three power rangers fighting a dark man.

"What are you doing here?!" Chad asked the younger boy standing beside him.

Justin was tired and breathed in air heavily. "Whether you choose to believe me or not is totally up to you. But I am needed here." He looked over to the scene of the battle. Three rangers fought a man wearing a heavy dark coat. He only recognized the pink Zeo ranger, who he knew as Katherine, but the other two were complete strangers to him. Neither side was winning. The outnumbered enemy could handle the three rangers who attacked him. But Justin knew he wouldn't be able to stand the power of a fourth ranger coming to their aid. He stood ready to fight; his itching hands fighting the urge to activate his morpher. When he could no longer keep it in, he finally yelled, "Shift into turbo!".

The key to his morpher slid easily into its proper spot. A blue lightning surrounded Justin, making him grow taller and more powerful with each extra inch added to his original height. His head was then covered in a blue helmet resembling the front of his zord, the Mountain Blaster. Soon the blue turbo ranger took the place of the small boy.

Chad stood there in awe as he witnessed a small boy turn into a power ranger. He pushed the thought aside and thought about the current situation. Preparing his own morpher, he yelled the words "Lightspeed Rescue!" Chad was engulfed in a blue and white shield of powerful energy and was soon in his blue ranger costume once again

Justin who was still stood beside Chad nearly jumped at the revelation. Chad Lee was a power ranger! The blue light-speed rescue ranger to be more specific.

The two blue rangers stood side, prepared to join the battle taking place before them.

"Stop right there," Chad came running. His gun was prepared to shoot at the dark assailant.

"We're coming guys!" Justin ran beside Chad; his turbo hand blasters aimed and ready at the man in dark costume.

The other rangers turned their heads towards the newcomers to see who they were.

"Justin can that be you?" Katherine asked. Suddenly a hard kick landed on her abdomen, sending her flying towards a large pile of rubble.

Before Onslaught could strike again, the gold ranger intervened with a hard punch to the man's helmet, knocking him down to the ground. But he quickly jumped back to his feet, only to be fired upon by the blue and red light-speed rangers. The blue turbo ranger ended it with a powerful drop kick which sent the man flying through the air until he hit a large building.

"Excellent... Just as I suspected," Onslaught said weakly as he struggled to stand up. He walked slowly towards them with a limp on his right leg. He stood in place and began to laugh. "You are powerful... But not powerful enough!"

His laugh grew louder as he stretched his right arm straight above his head. The sky grew darker and a strange energy began to form on his raised right hand. The ground shook and tiny rocks began to fill the air. The energy began to grow into a large black ball, almost twice the size of the enemy's own body. The ground shook harder each passing second and the energy kept growing.

The rangers all stood in place, amazed at the power this man wielded. They did not move for they did not know what such power could do to them. It almost seemed as if the dark energy hypnotized them and prevented them from moving any further. All they could do was prepare themselves for the oncoming attack.

A grunt could be heard as Onslaught hurled the heavy ball of energy towards the rangers. The dark power engulfed them, sucking away whatever energy they had in them.
Their screams could be heard as it sucked away their powers. And before they knew it, the five rangers lay on the floor in their human forms, weakened and unable to fight back.

Onslaught reached for their morphers, taking them one by one and placing them in a small bag where he kept the previously stolen morphers from his other missions. He laughed as he used his telekinetic powers to lift each of the limp bodies into his ship.

Chapter Seven : When Late Introductions Take Place

Trini awoke in a most unusual and unfamiliar setting. She gently rubbed her eyes in order to see more clearly. When her blurry vision cleared, she found herself trapped in a room with a large and seemingly unbreakable glass window that filled up one whole side of a wall. Outside the glass prison, a room full of alien-like technology could be seen. Trini had never witnessed such strange technology before and could only stare at it with curiosity. She noticed that the dark man was nowhere to be found and thought it be the best time to find a way out. She looked around and saw she wasn't alone. In a different corner of the room Kimberly lie on the floor, still not recovered from the earlier attack. Two other girls were also in the room although Trini had no idea who they were, only that they were also power rangers.

Trini approached Kimberly's sleeping form, wanting to inform her of the current situation. "Kimberly!" Trini shook Kimberly's shoulders violently. They were surprisingly stiff. For a moment, Trini feared for the worse, but was relieved when she heard the sound of Kim's breathing. "Kimberly! Wake up!" Trini continued to shake her friends shoulders.

After nearly a few minutes of trying to shake the sleeping beauty awake, Trini stopped when she saw Kim's eyes slowly open. Kimberly jumped up in surprise, a look of fear in her expression.

"Kimberly it's just me," Trini said, trying to calm Kimberly down. She looked worried and concerned. "Calm down. It's me Trini? Do you remember where you are? Do you remember what happened? Do you remember me?"

Kimberly felt a little foolish for getting frightened so easily, even if she was just a little bit frightened. She knew she was better than that. After all she was a power ranger and it was just her best friend Trini. "Yea Trini. Sorry about that." she placed a hand on her head trying to remember what happened when she was last awake. "What's going on? Where are we?" Her eyes wandered throughout the unfamiliar setting and finally towards the two others with them in the room. "Who are they?"

"I can't even answer a single one of your questions," Trini answered honestly. She took a deep breath and then looked out the room with the beeping machines. "We have to find a way out of here."

"But how?" came a strange new voice. In the corner the two girls who were previously unconscious slowly got up. The one with light hair and yellow hair gently rubbed her aching head. The girl with dark hair much like Trini's and a bright, pink jacket did the same. "It looks like there's no way out of here without breaking the glass barrier," the girl in yellow pointed out.

"We're gonna think of something," Trini assured her.

"Let's get this straight first," Kimberly spoke. She placed her right hand on her hip and stared intently at the two girls standing in a different corner of the room. "You girls are power rangers too?"

"Yes," the light haired girl answered. "We're the space rangers, formerly turbo rangers." She put out a hand to customarily greet the two young women. Trini and Kimberly shook her hand and smiled at her.

"I'm Cassidy. Cassie for short," the oriental girl introduced herself. She mimicked Ashley's handshaking gesture. Trini and Kimberly also did the same.

"We were the original power rangers," Trini began to explain. "We are two of the first five that were called forth by Zordon to protect the earth from any threats that may arise," She placed a hand on her chest to indicate she was about to talk about herself. "I'm Trini." Then she pointed a finger towards Kimberly. "This is Kimberly."

"I thought the power coins were destroyed," Cassie wondered, looking a bit confused. She had learned that information from Justin who had learned a little of the earlier generation's history from Alpha 5. "And didn't you transfer your powers to others?"

"No the original dino power coins were not destroyed," Kimberly answered Cassie's question. "It was only the ninja power coins that were destroyed."

"While the ninja coins were lost and forgotten, the older coins slowly regenerated and regained most of their lost powers," Trini continued Kimberly's explanation. The two girls listened intently at the story she was telling. "Mysteriously, our morphers appeared to us, and imparted to us ability to morph into power rangers once again. We have no explanation for this."

"Wow!" Cassie exclaimed. The original power rangers stood before her and she just realized how legendary these two were. She stared at them transiently, trying to absorb the revelation. Then she remembered something. "The enemy stole our morphers," she pointed out and cast her eyes upon the floor. "We don't have much of chance of getting out without the help of our powers."

"We're gonna get out of this one," Ashley encouraged her doubtful friend. She was confident in their abilities to get out of tough situations like this one. Especially now that two generations of pink and yellow rangers were working together. But there was a slight feeling of uneasiness growing within her; A feeling that maybe the power rangers may have finally met their match. She pushed the thought aside. The belief that there was no power strong enough to defeat the courage and the dedication the power rangers was stronger than the strange feeling of uneasiness. "The others will surely come after us."

"I hope you're right Ashley," Cassie looked a bit worried. The feeling of uneasiness disturbed her too though she didn't really think much about it. "I really do."

Suddenly a small hole slid open above them. A sinister laugh could be heard in the background and five bodies dropped from above. One by one they dropped from the tiny opening. Three of the faces were unknown to the four women trapped below, but three were old friends of theirs.

"Jason! Kat! Justin!" Trini yelled in surprise. She ran to their bodies and noticed that they were both bruised and beaten. The bodies were piled on top of each other and Trini made an effort to separate them. Kimberly aided her while Cassie and Ashley stood there, watching Trini and Kimberly help the enemy's new victim. Trini checked to see if they were still alive and was glad to learn that they still were. She sat by their still bodies, giving them a chance to rest and awaiting the moment they would wake. She had not seen them in so long and had so much to say to them. But now she was deeply concerned about their fate. This strange new enemy had managed to capture five more rangers, making that a total of nine. If five rangers weren't enough to stop this man how many rangers would it take?



Chapter 8 : When Help Arrives Too Late

"We're too late..." The silver space ranger said with a disappointed tone. His silver galaxy glider hovered over the ruined city of Mariner Bay. Flying alongside him was the blue space ranger on his own navy colored galaxy glider. He shook his head as he saw the enemy's black spacecraft take off to its next destination.

"Damn it! Cassie and Ashley are still in there!" the blue space ranger said angrily. He was still angry at himself for not being able to help out Cassie and Ashley when they were in trouble. When he arrived in Angle Grove, the black spaceship had already taken off, taking with it the pink and yellow space rangers. "I feel like we've let them down," he said as he lowered his head. He felt like a failure and undeserving of his rangerhood.

The two space rangers lowered their gliders to a portion of the city where most of the destruction had taken place. Buildings and homes were reduced to ash and rubble and the sky was polluted with smoke. It was truly a disaster.

In the center of all the destruction four rangers unknown to the space rangers stood. The two space rangers headed towards that area and leaped off their gliders when they neared it. The other rangers heads were cast downwards as if some tragic event had taken place.

"What happened here?" the silver space ranger asked them. He couldn't see the expression the rangers had in their faces because of their helmets, but he could feel that they were not in the best of moods.

"Our friends, the red and blue light-speed rescue rangers, have been captured and we have no idea of where they may be," the pink ranger said. Her voice was neutral and void of emotion. She looked up at the two unfamiliar rangers and felt bad for not introducing themselves. "Forgive me for not introducing ourselves. We are the light speed rescue power rangers. I'm Dana, the pink light-speed rescue power ranger. The yellow ranger is Kelsey, the green ranger is Joel, and my brother Ryan is the titanium ranger. What brings you to Mariner Bay?"

"I am Zhane, the silver space ranger," the silver space ranger introduced himself and then pointed towards the ranger standing beside him. "This is T.J., the blue space ranger. We are here on a mission to retrieve our kidnapped friends from a man our sources tell us to be called Onslaught Evir, a bounty hunter with tremendous stamina and power."

"Do you have any other information on this man?" the yellow ranger inquired with gentle hope in her voice. "We need to save our friends. Please tell us what you know."

"We can't really tell you much," the blue space ranger admitted. He removed his helmet so he would have a clearer view of the other rangers and the city. Zhane also did the same. "Our friends the pink and yellow space rangers were also taken by this bounty hunter. And some of our witnesses say that he also took with him two other pink and yellow rangers."

The titanium ranger held a small polaroid in his hand and showed it to T.J. and Zhane. "A witness took this picture of the battle," he said as he handed them the picture. "There were three other rangers there and we believe that Onslaught has taken them too."

T.J.'s eyes widened as he saw two familiar rangers on the picture. He believed they were Kat, the pink Zeo power ranger and Justin the blue turbo power ranger. The other three unfamiliar figures in the picture were just mere strangers to him. "I know these two!" he said, pointing his finger at the image of Kat and Justin in their ranger attire. "That's Kat and Justin!"

"Old friends of yours I believe?" Zhane asked. He took the picture from T.J's hands and examined it for himself. There was one other ranger in the picture, one the others did not recognize though he himself did. "That other ranger is the legendary gold ranger. He is a powerful being and only the worthy may have the honor of inheriting the gold rangers powers. I myself have heard stories of the gold ranger on my planet KO-35."

"We don't know his true identity yet," TJ pointed out. "He could be an accomplice of the enemy for all we know."

"We're on our way to meet with our Captain," Kelsey said. "We will contact you if we have any new information." She turned away from TJ and Zhane and prepared to leave. "Take care for now."

With those last words the four remaining light-speed rescue rangers, called for their rescue rover. When it arrived a beautiful young woman dressed in a white coat was seated on the driver's seat calling them to the vehicle. The rangers jumped into the rescue rover and left the scene, leaving TJ and Zhane alone. Without further thought, the two space rangers placed their helmets on their heads once more and hopped aboard their galaxy gliders. Their gliders sped quickly through the earth's atmosphere almost undetected by any seeing eye.

"The ship's out of my range," TJ said. He carefully observed his visual scanner, checking for any sign of the captor's ship. To his disappointment, it was nowhere near the range of his scanner. "We have to meet up with Andross and Carlos. Maybe they've found something."

"Let's hope they did," Zhane said. He was hoping their fellow rangers were having better luck than they were in finding the girls. "Come on. Let's hurry!"

The gliders switched from turbo speed to light-speed, making their gliders virtually impossible for others to see. They now headed for the city of Turtle Cove, the place where Andross and Carlos were assigned to investigate. They hoped they would arrive there before anything happened to either Andross or Carlos or any other ranger. And though light-speed was the fastest speed the gliders would go, it felt like they were moving in slow motion and that they would arrive too late again.

End of chapter 8
A/N: Well sorry this chapter was so short and I hope it wasn't boring. I just really really needed to get this one out of the way for now. Just to introduce the space rangers to the light-speed rangers. There will be more Ryan and Dana later in the story. Mike and Leo will definitely return in the next chapter so expect that from my next chapter. As always Reviews are greatly appreciated!!!

:eek: :eek: I was going to write a fanfic similar to this, but I never got past the conceptual thoughts of it. I may write it though, I'm just not sure if I'll have time. Pretty good story.

I am sure if I actually made time to sit down and play with a few ideas I could write a great story. I'll just have to make time, I guess.:)

Keep going with it mate! This fan fic has to be one of the best I've seen in a long time. Personally I'm dying to know who's going to stop the bounty hunter...
