EPISODE ONE: "The Mystics Revealed" (Pilot Part 1)
TIME: (story begins approx: November of 2006)

It was good to be home. Years living on another planet had been fun and interesting, but nothing beat Angel Grove. This was his home. A city that had seen its share of beauty and sadness. He remembered the time that he had to leave. He'd acquired some type of illness that was fatal on Earth and had to be transported to the Planet of Aquitar. There, he worked on a cure. It took him five years, but he finally made it.

Billy Cranston returned to Earth six months earlier at the request of Project Genesis, a secret organization commissioned to protect the planet and be as quiet about it as possible. As a former Ranger himself, he knew of the darkness that would one day come to Angel Grove. There was a darkness so evil lying under the ground in this peaceful city that if it ever woke up, it would take the strongest Rangers alive to fight it. Rangers that had trained their entire lives for this moment.

*****

"Are you really going to sit there and not talk the entire way to Angel Grove?"

There was no answer. Jessica Hart was fed up with her twin brother. He'd done nothing but sulk the entire trip.

"Look, I know you didn't want to come here, but this is what we've trained for our entire lives. Jacob, we have to do this."

Still no answer. Jacob didn't want to upset his sister. It was exactly the opposite. He knew if he told his twin anything she would realize how much pain he was in. He chose to keep that to himself. It had been a long journey from Genesis to his old home of Angel Grove, and Jacob did not know if he was ready for what stood in front of him. Even more so, he wasn't sure if he could handle what he'd left behind.

The twins were 21. Older than the usual Ranger, but nothing about them was ordinary. They'd left Angel Grove 12 years earlier to begin their training. Now they were the strongest A level cadets at Project Genesis. They pulled up to an old abandoned building in the industrial part of town. After climbing the two flights of stairs, they saw a very large man standing in front of a doorway. He opened the door and they walked inside.

"Do you think he's really here?" Jessie whispered.
"That's what Commander told us." Jacob answered.

"I assume your talking about me."
The twins turned to see Billy reveal himself from the shadows. It had been so long since they had seen each other. Billy had been like a big brother to both of them when they were younger.

"I wish we had time to catch up, but I'm afraid we aren't allowed that option. Come take a look at this."

Billy pulled a remote control out of his pocket and clicked a button. What seemed to be a run down room turned into a state of the art facility. On the screen before them they saw strange readings coming from the ocean just 20 miles away. Before their eyes they saw the reading continue to rise.

The ground began to tremble, and then shake. The volcanic activity continued as this land mass formed in the ocean. To the naked eye, a strange phenomena, but to these three, something destined to happen.

"It was just like the book said it would happen," Jessie suggested.

"Yes." Billy agreed. "And we have no time to waste. These are for you."

He handed them a wristwatch that looked very familiar.

"Don't take these off. Ever. They will keep you in communication. I trust that you have the gems, Jacob."

Jacob nodded. "Yeah, you have no idea what I went through to get these."

Billy opened the box and inside sat six gemstones: Red, Yellow, Blue, Pink, White, and Black.

"So which one is mine?" Jacob asked anxiously.

Billy raised an eye brow. "The gems choose their owners. Raise your wrists towards the gems.”

The twins did as instructed. Very quickly, the pink gem chose Jessie and she instantly felt the Ranger powers enter her body. Jacob had closed his eyes, but nothing had happened. Three gems lay dormant, but two were violently shaking. It was almost as if they were fighting over him. Jacob watched as the Red and White gems knocked against each other before he was finally thrown back against the wall. He instantly felt the power enter him. He stood to see that the Red gem remained in the box. Jessie opened her palm to see the pink gem there. Disappointed, Jacob opened his, and saw the white gem. The gems floated over the wristwatches and were absorbed into them. This watch now contained the power.

Billy closed the box container. "It is now my job to find four to battle along side you. Wait here until you are called for. It is very important that our enemies not know that you are here quite yet. I'll see you soon."

With that, he left the room and the twin rangers behind.

Billy had already spotted the four that would join the twins. He actually had to admire the irony of it. But after the two months in Angel Grove he'd spent preparing for this moment, he really had no doubts. Project Genesis bought this large mansion at the top of a hill in Angel Grove. It had been empty for five years. As Billy walked inside it, he admired how it looked normal to anyone that would enter. But this house was anything but normal.

"DECA, I'm home."

"Good afternoon Billy."

"What time is it?"

"It is currently 2:25 in the afternoon. You have an appointment in five minutes."

"Thank you DECA. It would probably be a good idea for you to not talk or answer any questions until I tell you the coast is clear, okay?"

"Affirmative. Shutting down system now. Will awaken on your voice command. Goodnight Billy."

"Goodnight DECA."

Timing could not have been more perfect. Billy heard the doorbell ring. Walking to the door, he knew who would be on the other side. He couldn't help but be excited that this moment had finally arrived. The powers would finally come full circle. He opened the door and there standing in front of him were four people who had no clue that walking through the door would change their lives forever.

"Welcome guys. I'm glad you could come over and finally see my new place. Come in."

As he greeted each one he thought of the back story for each.

The first to enter was Phillip Scott. Billy did not remember Phillip that well, but was very close to his older brother, Jason. When Jason and his family moved for him to join the youth world summit, Phillip was very young. Truth be told, Jason and Billy weren't that close. He was much closer to the girls, Kimberly and Trini.

Which is how he knew the next beautiful girl that walked into his home. Kallie Kwan grew up to look more and more like her big sister Trini everyday. Kallie was much more of a girlie girl than Trini, but he knew that she'd trained in martial arts since she was very young.

Donte was nothing like his brother. He was quiet and reserved. Zack, on the other hand, was always loud and never afraid that he would look stupid. Donte enjoyed alot of the same things his brother liked, but lacked the same self-confidence. Zack moved to Europe over five years ago, and the two never kept in contact. Billy hated the fact that Donte felt left out.

Then Billy came face to face with the last of the foursome. The person that resented him for leaving him behind. Brian Cranston was his little brother. Because his Ranger identity had never been revealed to his family, Brian never understood why his brother abandoned him. More importantly, he had a real problem with his brother coming back and wanting to be a part of his life.

He followed them into the den and offered them a seat.

"Really, Billy, the house is great and all, but why are we here. I don't understand what this is all about," Phillip questioned.

"He wants you to like him so I'll be forced to hang out with him because you guys want too."

Billy didn't answer. Instead the phone rang.

"Let me get that. You guys feel free to explore the house. I'll find you when I'm done."

Billy disappeared down the hallway. The four friends sat there for a minute before Kallie just smiled and got up to explore. Phillip shrugged his shoulders and followed.

"Aren't you even a little curious about how your brother got all of this?" Donte asked Brian.

"Who cares. If you want to go look around go ahead I won't care," Brian scoffed.

Donte understood how his friend felt, but didn't want to pass up this opportunity either.

Kallie and Phillip found their way into a large work out room They both looked at each other in amazement and then started to look around. There was a boxing ring in the middle of the room, and on the other side a sparring mat. Weight machines lined the floor and in an adjacent room tons of cardio equipment lined the walls.

Donte opened the door into a very dark room. He walked inside and the door shut behind him. Unable to see, he felt around on the walls for a light switch. Clicking it, music came on with the lights. It was an incredible sound system. Better than any he'd ever seen.

Brian couldn't help but wonder where the music came from. He followed the noise down the hall. Kallie and Phillip met him there. They opened the door to see Donte dancing to the music. When he saw them watching, he stopped from embarrassment.

"Don't stop. You are really good!" Kallie exclaimed.

He just pushed his way out of the room and across the hall into the next. The other followed. Brian was astonished by what he saw. It was the largest library he'd ever seen. There had to be millions of books.

"There is no way your brother has read all of these," Phillip said.
"Don't be so sure," Brian smiled.

He loved to read. This would have been the room he'd spend hours in if he wanted to be anywhere around his brother. He walked through the room examining the books on the shelf.

"What are you looking for?" Kallie asked as she started to look as well.

"I've never heard of these books before. Like this one. It's at least 1000 pages. It's called the Zordon Effect. Let me see if..." He pulled the book toward him but it only tilted. He heard gears moving. The bookcase began to move and revealed a staircase which led underground.

Phillip didn't think twice. He headed down the stairs. Donte followed. Kallie and Brian just looked at each other in disbelief. What could Billy have hidden down there? They each took a deep breath and followed their friends down the stairs.


"Why am I the White Ranger and not the Red Ranger? It's not like anyone Billy picks is going to be better trained than I am. I just don't get it!"

Jacob had been ranting about the Ranger Powers since Billy left them. Jessie immediately sat down to do surveillence, her speciality.

"Get over it, Jacob. White is an important color. Remember that's like first year cadet school stuff. A White Ranger is that which demonstrates the better qualities of all the other colors." Jessie tried to cheer her brother up but it was not working.

"Yes, here we go. Jacob come look at this. I was able to patch into the Command Center. We can see who ends up becoming rangers with us.

Jacob came over to view. The twins watched as four figures entered the dark room and all the lights came on. Billy was standing there waiting.

"It took a little longer than I thought to get you here, but welcome to the Command Center."

"Oh no! You have got to be kidding me," Jacob backed away from the table.

"What is it?" Jessie asked concerned.

"I can't believe that Billy is going to pick him. I hate him!"

Jessie turned around to see who he was talking about. She immediately recognized the first boy to enter. Phillip Scott was one of the few memories the twins had of Angel Grove. He was a bully in kindergarten and use to beat Jacob up on a regular basis. She was sure he'd grown up since then.

"Jacob, it's been almost fifteen years, I'm sure he's changed since then."

Jacob didn't answer and stared out the window. Jessie knew to leave him alone when he got like this so she turned around to watch what happens.

Billy stood in front of the four bewildered young people.

"Billy what is going on here?" Brian was stunned. What had his brother gotten himself into. The place was vast and there was more computer equipment and technology than he would know what to do with.

"Brian, you and your friends have been chosen for something very important. In fact, you were chosen many years ago, and have been training for this day without even knowing it. Let me show you what I'm talking about. Observe the Viewing Screen." He pointed to a screen in front of them that lit up. "This is Nemesis, ruler of the underworld. He has laid dormant since he was locked up 2006 years ago."

"That would place him at the time of..." Donte began.
"Exactly. According to legend when the keys to hell were taken they were also used to lock up Nemesis and his demon army. The legend continues to state that when the Earth contained as much evil as it did when he was locked up, the locks would be released and he would terrorize our world again," Billy explained.

"And now the world is that evil again?" Phillip raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so hard to believe?" Billy turned to him. He clicked the screen remote again and images of Earth in turmoil shot across the screen. "Millions of people in the world are hungry and dying everyday. We fight over money and oil instead of protecting ourselves and the Earth in which we live. We've become selfish and greedy instead of giving and good."

"What is this mission?" Kallie spoke up.

"In short, I'm offering you a chance to be Power Rangers. Just like your older brothers and sisters," Billy stated.

They were all shocked. Again, the screen clicked and the images of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers filled the screen. They watched in amazement. In front of them, four wristwatches appeared on the table. Each of the four picked one up and put it on.

"Just like Jason, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, and myself, you have been chosen to protect Angel Grove and the world. Keep your identity a secret. The power has chosen you and now so will your gems."

He opened the box and immediately the four gems leapt from their resting places and hovered over the four. Each of them held out their wrists and the gems absorbed into the watches. Brian accepted the Blue Power, Kallie, the Yellow, Donte the Black, and Phillip the Red.

Before they could even think about what should happen next a siren began ringing.

"DECA AWAKEN!" Billy commanded.

"DECA program initiated. Good afternoon Billy and Rangers."

"DECA, let me see the threat on screen."

Before them, on the screen was a group of black creatures seared with silver. The silver almost looked as if it was burned into their flesh.

"What are those things?" asked Donte.

Billy was studying them. "It appears Nemesis has already arrived. Those are geracks, devils that answer to only him."

They were headed into Angel Grove Park, and followed by a huge creature of a man and beast.

"That is the demon Galastic. He is Nemesis's right hand man. Rangers there is no time to waste. You must stop them before they reach the city. Call on your powers by saying 'Mystic Spirit Ranger Form'. Go now.

The four ran up the staircase. Billy stopped Brian.

"I hope now you know I didn't just desert you."

Brian nodded and ran to help the others.


"Jacob come quick!"

Jacob walked over to his sister and saw Galasitc and his minions attacking the park.

"We should help them," Jessie demanded.

"Not yet. Let's see what the others can do first. Nemesis doesn't need to know there are six Rangers quite yet. Let's see if they can handle it."

"But..." Jessie started.

"No buts! Billy gave us an order and we follow it. He is our superior."


In the park citizens of Angel Grove ran in disbelief that their city was once again being attacked. As so many were running away from the devils, four ran toward them.

"Galastic stop right there!!"

"Who is going to stop me?" the Seven foot Man with huge muscles of steel said.

"We are," the four begain.
"Ready," Phillip asked.
"Ready," Kallie, Donte, and Brian answered.

"MYSTIC SPIRIT, RANGER FORM, HAH"

Before Galastic stood four Power Rangers. His surprise was obvious, but he would not turn back.

"Geracks, Get them!"

The first attack began. All four Rangers fought bravely. Each of them reached for their Mystic Swords to plow through the geracks. Galastic seeing that his geracks were not winning conjured up a demon from the water named Aguam.

Billy knew this was too much for the Rangers first battle. He could tell they were nervous about the monster. He only had one choice. He contacted the twins.

Red and Blue Ranger fought Aguam and Galastic but kept getting thrown down. Black and Yellow continued to knock out geracks, now with their blasters. The geracks just seemed to keep coming. The Rangers were overwhelmed.

The sky began to darken and lighting shot through the sky. A strong wind blew and pushed the evil mongrels away from the Rangers. When the Rangers looked up, they saw standing before them two of their own kind, in White and Pink. The White Ranger pulled out a staff and the Pink Ranger a whip. The others watched in awe as the two mauled through the geracks and went after Aguam leaving Galastic for them.

The four fought Galastic with everything they had. He pulled back saying, "It appears we have underestimated you humans. It will not happen again." He disappeared.

The four looked over to the White and Pink Rangers and watched as the combined their weapons into a slingshot attack that took out Aguam and incinerated him.

The weather cleared and the six Rangers stood there staring at each other. The twins did not intend to reveal their identities just yet. That would be another day. The twins ninja streaked away from the park leaving the others to wonder their identities.

END OF EPISODE ONE.

EPISODE TWO: "Mystics Revealed – Part Two"

Jacob stood next to the window overlooking the city. He knew he should be happy in his new position, but things from his past still bothered him. Jessie walked in from her bedroom and saw her brother standing there quiet. She knew he was conflicted. And now, that he was not chosen to be the Red Ranger, she imagined his mind was filled with many more questions.

Jessie and Jacob began training to be rangers at the age of ten. She learned fast, but not nearly at the speed of her brother. She was constantly amazed at his ability. She was sure in his head he believed he should be red.

"The new powers are pretty incredible, aren't they?" she asked.
He turned toward her and smiled.
"Yeah. They are. It was nice getting to battle an actual demon instead of a hologram."
He walked over to the kitchen to get some more coffee.
"The other Rangers seemed to do well. Not as well as us, of course, but considering their lack of training they did really well," Jacob remarked.
She was shocked. It wasn't like him to give compliments.
"Yeah. They did. I even think that Phillip will be a good leader," she answered.
He turned at that notion, and appeared annoyed.
"You still think I'm upset about that?" he asked and walked back to the window.
Now she was really confused. "Wait a minute. Ever since we first found out we would be rangers, you've talked about being Red. You never even mentioned any of the other colors. And now you're telling me it doesn't bother you?"

Jacob thought about his answer for a while. "It did. I'd be lying if I said it didn't. But I don't know sis, priorities change. I have other things in my life that are more important. I mean, I'm not a big fan of Phillip. Actually, I don't really like the guy at all. But, I can see why he's Red. And like you said, White is the best of all, but you missed the second part."

"What's that?"

"White Rangers are those whose destinies are not completely foretold yet. I like that there is a bit of mystery to me still. Let Phillip be Red," he said as he looked out the window. "I have more important things to worry about then what color I am."

*****

The Rangers were exhausted after their first battle, but woke up exhilarated and excited to learn more about their powers. They ventured down to the chamber and searched for Billy to learn more. Not finding him they searched for clues about why they were chosen.

"Hey guys, I wonder if we can access DECA?" Kallie asked.
"It's worth a shot," Donte answered.
"Brian, you try. You're voice is closest to Billy's," Phillip ordered.
"Well, ok," Brian agreed. "DECA, are you there? DECA?"


"Yes, Brian. What can I help you with?"
"Can you tell me where my brother is?" Brian asked.
"Cannot compute an answer. Billy is not in the mansion."

*****

"Billy what are you doing here?" Jacob asked.
"I need you to meet a friend of mine. He has something we've been working on for a while together."
"What is it?"

"I need a way to cloak the technology I've been working on. It's finished and I need you to go get it." Billy informed the twins.

"So where are we going?" Jacob asked.

"The Animarium."

*****

The Rangers in the mansion were curious about their surroundings and what had happened to them over the past few days. All they wanted was answers. Unfortunately, Billy was not there to answer them. They had taken it among themselves to look through Billy's things in the command center to find their true purpose.

They weren't having much luck.

Finally, Brian came across a very old book laying on the middle shelf of a bookcase. He placed it on the table but could not open it. He tried with all his strength but it would not open. The others saw his struggle and attempted to help him. Even with their combined efforts it still did not open.

"You won't be able to open it," Billy's voice came down the stairs. "I can't open it. There are only three who can."

"Who?" Brian asked.

"They are known as the Trilogy. Three chosen by Zordon before his death to become the leaders of the great army."

He could see the puzzlement in their faces.

"Come sit down. It's time for me to explain."

Phillip, Brian, Kallie, and Donte sat around the round glass table in the middle of the command center. Billy sat opposite them in order to explain.

"There are some things that I need you to trust me on for a while. But I will tell you what you need to know. Before Zordon left Earth, he chose three to become the trilogy. These would be three individuals that would be connected until their death. They began training for a battle they began studying. As the years past, each new crew of rangers were told of the trilogy on the off chance that the Battle of Evil would occur during their watch. During all this time these three grew up and help found what is called Project Genesis. Project Genesis is an organization that the followers of Zordon, the former Rangers, began. Using our contacts on other planets we created a training facility completely out of site of any radar or intelligence surveillance."

"Well that explains some of the situation, but how did we become involved?" Donte asked.

"Each of your older siblings played a large role in the creation of Project Genesis. Watching the four of you grow up we knew you would be the right age. We saw that you were close friends. Something that is necessary in trusting your fellow Rangers. And we knew that ultimately in order for you to work with the Trilogy, it would be you that must be chosen."

"What do you mean work with the Trilogy? We don't even know who they are," Phillip questioned.

"White and Pink," Kallie stated under her breath.

"That's correct, Kallie," Billy admired how fast her mind worked.

"Two members of the Trilogy are the White and Pink Rangers. That's how they were able to do all those things that amazed us. They've been training for much longer."

"So if they are on our side, why aren't they here with us?" Phillip didn't like the idea of stronger rangers than him. He was the Red Ranger. He should be in charge like his older brother Jason was.

"They have to complete a mission first. There are powers you must learn to harness. When you do, White and Pink will come to fight with you."

The siren went off again. The rangers looked to the viewing screen and saw a large tree trunk of a monster attacking people in the city.

"Rangers go. I'll contact White and Pink if you need them." Billy ordered.

"We won't need them," Phillip stated confidently. "Ready!"

"Ready!"
"MYSTIC SPIRIT, RANGER FORM, HAH!"

The Rangers began fighting against Trunk, an evil tree demon in Nemesis's army. Billy watched from the Command Center, but worried when he saw both Galastic and Mallix watching from the rooftops. He felt that they were up to something. He knew what he had to do.

"Jacob. Jessie. Come in."
"Jessie here."
"You have to come back. The city is under attack. Do you have the packages I sent you for?" Billy asked.
"Yes, Jacob and I have activated ours and we've both hidden the other four."
"Thank Cole for me, and help the Rangers as fast as you can."
"Will do."

Jacob was standing by another young man who knew that call all to well.
"I'm sorry to cut our visit short Cole, but it looks like duty calls," Jacob said.
"Hey, Wild Force was always on crazy schedules. Don't worry about it. Go protect Angel Grove."

The twins morphed and jumped onto Mystic Runners and flew down from the Animarium to Earth. Cole couldn't help but smile. He knew he would be called on soon enough.


The Rangers continued to fight, but the enemy increased in strength. The Geracks continued to form, and Galastic and Mallix entered the fight as well.

Kallie had been cornered by Mallix and none of the other rangers looked as if they could get away. She cowered into a corner, but the blow never came. The air around her was cold. She looked up to see Mallix covered in ice. Behind him, stood the White Ranger. White grabbed for her hand and pulled her up.

"You have to feel out your power. It's in you, but until you harness it you won't defeat these guys. Do you understand?" White Ranger explained.

She nodded. She looked up to see Pink Ranger create a tornado and blow all of the Geracks into a construction site.

The twins stood there and the four Mystics came behind them.

BLUE RED YELLOW BLACK
PINK WHITE

"Trunk, your days are numbered," Jacob announced. He turned to Red and Blue. "Attack Galastic," and then turned to Yellow and Black. "attack Mallix. We'll take out Trunk."

And everyone fought but Phillip. Why was White Ranger giving the orders. That was his job. He quickly turned his attention to helping Brian battle Galastic.

As the battle continued, Kallie could feel her power increasing. She was concentrating on it, trying to focus on what she could do with it. She opened her eyes to see Mallix coming for her. She pulled back and knocked him square in the chest. He knocked a hole into the wall behind him. Mallix stood up and vanished returning to the Lair. Kallie turned to see White and Pink struggling with Trunk. White Ranger was knocked to the ground after blocking a blow meant for Pink.

Trunk went to hit White Ranger. Out of complete instinct, Kallie grabbed for her sword. "Earth Attack!" she screamed and stabbed the ground with the sword. A tremor shot across the ground directly at Trunk knocking him off his feet. White Ranger nipped up and nodded his approval towards Yellow Ranger.

White and Pink combined their weapons against Trunk and he was defeated.

Pink yelled to the other four, "Combine your weapons to defeat Galastic!"
Phillip heard her words and began. He took his staff, Kallie's sword, Donte's Ax and Brian's laser guns and created the Mystic Force Blaster. They pointed it to Galastic and shot. Galastic disappeared.

Mallix then reappeared and the Rangers heard him say, "Demon of the night Rise once more and fight."

Trunk rose from his ashes. He grew to the size of the buildings that surrounded them.

Jacob noticed the people of Angel Grove who were trapped and could not find safety.
"Rangers, protect them from attack."

Jessie and Jacob knew what they had to do. They placed their right wrist over their hearts and in a circular call and then a reach to the sky they called their new weapons.

"MYSTIC ZORDS, ARISE!"

The ground trembled. From the forest, an enormous elephant with pink eyes charged at Trunk. Halfway there the real elephant spirit transformed into the robotic zord and Jessie jumped to connect with and pilot it.

A loud noise from the sky screeched across the air. Eagle came flying down past Jacob and he connected with it as well. Both zords hit Trunk with all they possessed, and then...

'MYSTICS ZORDS COMBINE"

The Elephant created the body while the eagle formed the head and breastplate. The Elephant's trunk became a sword. In one swipe, Trunk was no more.


...

"The powers were amazing!" Kallie explained back at the Command Center.
"You each have one," Billy explained. "You will harness it in your own time. When you each harness your powers, White and Pink will be able to combine their arsenal with yours."

Billy retired for the evening.

"Does anyone find it odd that the other Rangers know us, but we don't know them?" Phillip asked.
"Not really. I'm just glad they’re around," Donte laughed.

"Guys I'm going to bed. I'll see you tomorrow," Brian said.

He walked up the stairs and toward the second floor stairs of the house until he noticed a light coming from Billy's private office. He heard voices.

"It's almost time, Billy," a female voice stated.
"I know. I just need a little more time with them before I drop such a burden on them. There almost there, but not yet," Billy explained.
"Ready or not, the battle must begin. Zordon would want it to be that way," she continued. "The Hart Trilogy must fulfill the destiny at all costs."
"Your little brother and sister are doing an amazing job as Rangers. You should be proud of them," Billy tried to change the subject.
"And so is your little brother. Unfortunately, he has a problem being nosy," she said as she flicked her wrist toward the door and it opened.

"Good evening, Brian. It's been a long time," she smiled.
He couldn't believe his eyes. She hadn't changed in ten years.

"Hello Kimberly."

EPISODE THREE: "The Alpha Connection"

Brian walked out of his brother's study. His head was swimming from all the information he'd been given. More importantly, the idea that he had to keep it from the others for the time being made it even harder. He'd listened as Kimberly told him of The Battle. The idea that there was a being out there that would want all living beings dead was hard for Brian to accept.

He walked up the stairs to the second floor of the mansion. He passed both Kallie and Donte's rooms. It appeared they had both gone to bed already. He turned the light on in his own room, and didn't even notice Phillip calling to him from across the hall.

"Brian, man, wake up!"
"What!?! Oh, sorry, I didn't even see you there."
"What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost," Phillip joked.
If only he knew what he'd just seen. Brian thought. So much had happened before Kimberly used her ninja streaking abilities to leave the mansion undetected.
"Seriously, are you okay?" Phillip realized that Brian was not acting normal.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Brian covered. "I guess that I've been working so hard trying to uncover these clues of what is going on, that I haven't slept much."
"Well, get your sleep man. We'll need you out there if Nemesis attacks again.”
"Right," Brian said. "Goodnight." he said and walked into his room shutting the door.
"That's weird," thought Phillip.

THE LAIR
Nemesis was fuming. Twice his generals had fought the Rangers and twice they had failed. Galastic and Mallix stood there in front of him awaiting the punishment they were sure to receive.

"You two have failed me twice. These Rangers aren't even fighting together as a team and they can still defeat you. You are pathetic. Tell me Mallix, should these Rangers join forces what will stop them from that point. Just the Yellow one listening to advice from the White one allowed her to increase in power."

"I would imagine if they joined forces all of their powers would increase sir," Mallix blubbered.

Nemesis backhanded him across the face. "Exactly my point. It is my fear that the White and Pink Rangers possess more power than they are letting on to. I believe they may be the chosen ones."

"The chosen ones? Are you sure master? That would mean that..." Galastic stammered.

"I KNOW WHAT IT WOULD MEAN!! Do you take me as a fool?" yelled an angered Nemesis. "If my feeling is correct we must defeat these puny Rangers now before their powers increase. Two already have their zords. We must defeat them before the other four find theirs."

Nemesis walked toward the door of the lair. "I have located two more generals that appear to be more qualified to do my work. You two will work for them for a while. Meet Robotron and Ada."

A large figure of about 7 feet entered the room. It was obvious that he was some type of android. Ada, on the other hand stood at about 5.5 feet. She was a beautiful woman with a dark sense of style. Just by viewing her you could see the evil penetrating her blood. These two would be bad news for the rangers.


ANGEL GROVE

Kallie was driving from Angel Grove University back toward the mansion. To see her in her natural habitat, she was much different than her Ranger counterpart. She enjoyed being girly, and wearing nice clothes. She was singing along to the Pussycat Dolls on the Radio. She was a beautiful woman, but never seemed to realize that men were in love with her.

As she continued to sing, she heard a loud pop and her car swerved off the road. She maneuvered the car and regained control stopping on the shoulder of the highway. She got out of the car and saw that the driver's side back tire had blown. Kallie was good at a lot of things, but she'd never changed a tire before. She thought about using her communicator to call the boys for help, but didn't want the kidding that would obviously come with it. She opened the trunk of the car and pulled out the spare.

She looked out and saw a white mustang coming in the distance. Perhaps this would be someone that would stop and help her.

In the mustang, Jacob immediately recognized the driver in distress. At the time, he was talking to his sister.

"Be careful, you can't let her know your identity yet," Jessie said.
"Got it sis. But I'm not going to leave her stranded on the side of the road either."

Jacob pulled over and got out of the car.

"Would you like some help?" he asked.
"That would be great. I have a spare, but there is no jack in my car," she replied.
"No problem. I've got one in mine."
Jacob pulled off his polo shirt revealing a white wifebeater underneath. Kallie couldn't help but notice how muscular her newfound friend happened to be. He got the jack out of his trunk and walked back to her car.
"I really appreciate this. I'm Kallie," she held out her hand.
Jacob shook her hand. Kallie felt a sense of deja vous.
"I'm Jacob. It's nice to meet you."
She decided to pursue her thought process.
"Your voice is so familiar. I swear I've heard it before."
Jacob could tell she was fishing around for an answer. He continued to work on the tire.
"Gee, I really don't know where. I just got back into town. I haven't lived here in over ten years."
"What did you come back for?"
Jacob had to think of an answer. "College. I'm studying psychology at the University."
Maybe that was it. Maybe she'd just seen him in the hallway or something.
"Oh ok. That must be it. I'm studying Political Science. I want to work for the government."
"That's a great goal. I'll probably work with kids."
"You like kids?" Kallie asked immediately realizing it was a stupid question.
Jacob smiled. "Yeah, I've been training kids for a couple of years now. I work at an afterschool program."
"That's really nice. I've always admired people that work with children. What do you train them in?"
Now it was Jacob's turn to figure out what to say. "I've been doing martial arts since I was a kid. I think it's a good thing for kids to know how to protect themselves."

Kallie smiled. This was a really nice guy. She hadn't met many like him in Angel Grove. They continued to talk until Jacob finished replacing the tire. He stood up and wiped his hands off on a towel from the back of his car.

"So it’s all good now. I guess I'll go. It was nice meeting you. Glad I could help," he said as he walked to his car.
"Wait! It was such a nice gesture. Let me buy you a cup of coffee or something," Kallie knew she didn't want him to leave yet.
Jacob smiled. "How about a rain check? I really have to get home."
"What's so important?" she smiled at him.
"Hey, you never know what could pop out of nowhere," he laughed.

"Truer words have never been spoken."
Kallie and Jacob looked toward the woods where the voice came from. Ada and Robotron appeared followed by a dozen geracks.
"Attack!"

Kallie looked to Jacob thinking she needed to protect him. Afterall, she had no idea he was a Ranger. But she couldn't morph without giving her identity away. Jacob was under direct orders not to let the Mystics know he was a Ranger. He could not morph either. Both began battling Geracks. Kallie was surprised at how well Jacob was able to handle himself. She quickly remembered that just because she couldn't morph did not mean she didn't have powers. She had an innocent to protect.

Jacob was quadruple teamed by geracks and thrown back onto the road. Seeing that Jacob could not see her, Kallie called upon her power and used her fist to strike the ground causing an earthquake. She flipped backwards and landed in front of Jacob.

"Stay back, I'll protect you," she yelled to him.
Jacob raised an eyebrow. "If she only knew," he thought.
Jacob closed his eyes. His concentration sent out a telepathic message to his sister.
Before Jessie could arrive Jacob saw the Red and Black Rangers come to their aid.

"Stand back! We'll take care of it from here!" Red stated.
"We should get out of the way," Kallie ordered as she grabbed Jacob's hand and pulled him around to the other side of the cars.

"Where do you think you’re going?" Ada calmly stated as she crossed the road with sword out. "He-ya" a bolt of lighting came toward the duo.

Jacob threw Kallie out of the way and took the bolt. Kallie thought she saw an energy orb surround him, but quickly realized it could not have happened when her new friend didn't move after.

Kallie stood in front of an unconscious Jacob. "You'll pay for that!"
"Will I?"
A strong windstorm came through. standing next to Kallie was the Pink Ranger.
"Yes you will," said the Pink Ranger.
"No," Kallie said. "Thanks, but this is my fight. Get him to safety for me,"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, get him to safety and then you can come back," Kallie was definite.
"You got it."

Pink Ranger picked up the unconscious Jacob and called for her mystic runner. Once they were gone, Kallie called upon her powers...

"MYSTIC SPIRIT, RANGER FORM HAH!"

The Yellow Ranger attacked Ada and the two woman fought hard. Kallie's sword clashed with the one yielded by Ada. Across the road she could see her friends fighting Robotron and the geracks. They were overwhelmed.

"Where is Brian?" Phillip screamed.
"I don't know. But we've got to keep going without him," Donte answered.

Robotron knocked Phillip back ten feet with one blow. Donte was being held down by the geracks. Kallie was beginning to struggle against Ada.

The sky got dark. Lighting streaks in blood red shot through the sky. The Red eyes of Nemesis formed above them. The Rangers were not able to move. They were frozen in fear. They had never felt anything like it before.

A Smile formed across the face of Ada. "Behold, my master, Nemesis."

Before Nemesis could descend three streaks flew through the air, one white, one pink, and one red. When Ada looked up, the Red, Black, and Yellow Rangers were gone.


THE COMMAND CENTER

Brian stood there watching the viewing screen with his brother. He was in awe of what he had just witnessed. The Rangers were in no way prepared for what they were going against. He covered his face when a Wind rushed through the room. He looked up to see his three friends, unmorphed and lying on the floor. The three got up and brushed themselves off."

"What happened? How did we get back here?" Donte was confused.
"What was that thing? I've never felt like that before in my life," Kallie cried.
Phillip looked up at Brian. "Why didn’t you come to our aide. We were sitting ducks out there and you just stayed here. What were you thinking?"
He grabbed Brian by the collar and pushed him against the wall.

"Stop!" Billy yelled. "Back up Phillip!"
Billy pulled Phillip off his brother.
"Brian was following orders. We were led to believe that Nemesis himself would show up to the next altercation, and our sources were correct. You're just lucky there was someone there to save you."
"Who?" Donte asked.
"The Hart Trology," Brian answered. “They are here. To help us defeat Nemesis and his army. But we haven't exactly proven ourselves to this point. You were frozen from fear out there when Nemesis arrived."
"Well put me out there again. It won't happen a second time," Phillip retorted.

"Oh you think so," a female voice rang through the room. "Well try me on for size."

A Red Streak flew through the room. In a puff of smoke a ninja stood in front of the four Mystics. "Attack me!"
Phillip wasted no time at all. In his eyes, their command center had been compromised. The other three Mystics joined in the attack. No matter how hard they tried the Pink ninja always stopped their movements.

"Enough!" screamed Phillip. "Rangers ready!"
"Ready!"
"MYSTIC SPIRIT RANGER FORM HAH!"

The Mystic Rangers stood before the red ninja.
"Very well. If that is the way you want it."
The White and Pink Rangers appeared behind the red Ninja.

The three chanted, "PHANTOMS THREE, HART TRILOGY!"
A Red Orb of light formed in front of each of them. The Mystics watched as the orb absorbed into their chests. Each formed a silver metallic armor but still appeared like rangers.

"I don't believe it?" Billy was amazed. "The Harts are the Phantom Ranger."

Again Phillip led the attack. It was like watching a novice fight a third degree black belt. The Phantoms did not move from one spot. They simply blocked the blows from the other Rangers.

The Rangers were winded. Billy decided to put a stop to this exercise.

"Mystics Power Down!" he called out. "It's time for you to sit and listen."
Yellow and Blue immediately powered down.
Black did a few seconds later.
It was a full minute before Red Ranger powered down.
At that point, the Phantom Rangers powered down to their original states.
Pink and White Rangers powered down to their ninja state.
Kallie caught the eyes of the White Ninja. She knew she had seen them before.

"It is time that you are introduced to your adversaries," Billy announced.
The lead ninja pulled off her headpiece to reveal her identity.
"Billy, Brian good to see you again. Kallie, Donte, and Phillip let me explain myself."
"You don't need too," Kallie stopped her. "You're Kimberly Hart. You're one of the original Power Rangers just like our older siblings."
http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/KimberlyHart.jpg
(the return on Kimberly Hart)
"That's correct. I see you take after Trini in a lot of ways. Which means you've already figured out who these two are behind me, correct?"
Kallie nodded her head.
"Allow me," Kimberly smiled. “These are my younger twin siblings, Jacob and Jessie Hart.”

The twins revealed themselves to the others. You could hear a pin drop in the room.
Brian was in shock. He'd been best friends with Jacob when they were younger. It was why he was so surprised to see Kimberly the night before. He'd spent the night at their house several times, and had a huge crush on the original pink ranger.

Donte seemed unfazed. He shook his head and nodded his approval.

Kallie immediately caught Jacob's eye. He just grinned at her.
"So you weren't hurt in that battle?" she asked.
"Not exactly. I used a force field to shield myself." he answered.
"Then I did see an energy orb around you," she joked. "Thanks again for fixing my car."
"No problem, and thank you for protecting me today. That was really brave. Ada is a fierce warrior."

Phillip couldn't believe his luck. Not only had he decided he wasn't fond of the White Ranger before his identity was known, now it turned out to be the one person he persecuted relentlessly as a child.
"I guess you remember me?" Jacob asked Phillip.
"Yeah. Not such a skinny midget anymore I see," Phillip insulted.
"Nah, I grew up. No hard feelings about the past though. It made me tough."

Kimberly and Billy had the Rangers sit around the table. It was important that they understand what was ahead of them.

Kimberly began.
"Nemesis is unlike any enemy that Earth Rangers have ever faced. He learns from each attack. He is strategically stronger than us. Because of today he will know that six rangers are now fighting together in this battle. Our objective is to defeat him before he grows too strong. Nemesis is a master at mind control. You've already fought his top four generals, Mallix, Galastic, Robotron, and Ada. He calls them the Four Horsemen."

"After the Apocalypse?" Brian asked.
"Yes," she answered. "Project Genesis was started by Zordon to prepare for this one battle. If we can defeat Nemesis we can guarantee that all the evil of this time period will be eradicated. When Zordon's tube was destroyed that ended all the evil in our galaxy. Since then, evil empires from outer space, the past, the future, and even manmade enemies have tried to take over this planet. Rangers from the past have held those threats at bay, but this is a threat that no one team can handle alone. Zordon will have to call upon all his Rangers for this one."

"Wait?!? You just said that Zordon was destroyed? How will he call on anyone to help us?" Phillip questioned.

Kimberly nodded to Jacob and he left the room.

"Maybe you misunderstood me, Phillip. I said Zordon's tube was destroyed. You just saw each of us yield the Phantom energy. You can check the history books and learn about the Phantom Ranger. But what history doesn't tell you is there have been three Phantom Rangers. The Phantom powers allow us to do many things such as telepathy, teleportation, and even time travel."

"Time travel? You've got to be kidding me?" Donte didn't believe a word she said.

"It's true," Jessie began. "As long as one of us remained in the present so that we can find our way back, the other two could travel in time to do what Zordon needed us too. The first mission was the most important."

"Which was what?" Kallie asked.

"We have a friend that can explain that," Kimberly pointed toward the entrance to the command center.

Walking into the room with Jacob was Alpha 5, the long time friend and robotic companion of Zordon himself.

"Guys let me introduce you to Alpha 5," Jacob said smiling. "This guy has fought alongside Zordon longer than any of the Rangers.”

"Ok, I confess that I am incredibly confused. Can someone please explain to me? How is he here, and how can Zordon still be leading the Rangers?" Phillip questioned.

"Please allow me Kimberly," Alpha asked.

"Certainly Alpha," she agreed as she put her arm around his robotic shoulder.

"Years ago, when the Turbo Rangers were protecting Angel Grove, Zordon and I left Earth because of disturbances in Outer Space. My replacement, Alpha 6 continued to work with the Turbo Rangers, Space Rangers, and Rangers of the Lost Galaxy. When Zordon and I left Earth, he took me to the planet of Triforia, and my circuits could not believe it when I saw Kimberly standing there with Trey the Gold Ranger. It was then I learned the real reason Kimberly left the Rangers. She and her two siblings were transported to Triforia by Zordon to gain a very special power. I stayed on Triforia with them for five years. It was then we knew it was time to begin Zordon's plan."

"Alpha, that still doesn't explain how Zordon could still be alive," Brian questioned.

"Zordon is a spirit," Billy continued. "During the five years that Alpha spoke of, Kimberly contacted me on Aquitar and informed me of Zordon's plan. Zordon knew that with the build up of evil masterminds, even the power Rangers would not be able to stop them alone. He allowed himself to be caught by Astronema."

"Before he was caught, he explained the Phantom Powers to me. I learned how the time travel worked. When Jacob and Jessie were old enough, we knew it was time to time travel and rewrite history without anyone knowing that didn't need to," Kimberly explained.

"We tested the power first. I went back in time, and helped out the Turbo Rangers. I did that two or three times to test the power while using Kim and Jessie as anchors in the present to bring me back. Then in looking through history we realized the Space Rangers never discovered a set of Zords they needed to win this battle. So I went and contacted Cassie, the Pink Space Ranger, in order to give them the location. The version of history you know is when they found the new zords." Jacob added.

"It became obvious to the three of us that Jessie's psychic powers were the strongest. So for this final mission through time, Jacob and I traveled and she was the anchor. Jacob fought alongside the Gold Ranger in the Battle. I materialized on Astonema's ship right before Andros destroyed Zordon's tube. The Phantom power allows us to remain invisible, but Zordon sensed me even though Astronema and Andros did not. When Andros destroyed the tube, Zordon's spirit flew toward me and the new home we had planned for him. Jacob and I came back to the present and since then Zordon's spirit has continued to lead us and help us gather Rangers from the past and create Project Genesis." Kimberly explained

"So where is Zordon now?" Donte asked.

The top of Alpha's head opened up in the middle and a bright light shown from inside. Above Alpha the Rangers saw a face materialize in front of them.

"Rangers!" Zordon's voice boomed. "The younger versions of my first Ranger Team. You are my chosen ones. Yet your mission is much different than those Rangers before you."


Everyone in the room was in awe. The great Zordon himself was in their presence.

"Rangers, you must keep Nemesis from growing in power until our entire plan is in place. Within each of you there are powers you do not realize you possess. I call on each of you to trust me and allow me and those I've chosen to lead you to show you the way. Kimberly and Billy understand the importance of this mission. They will not let you go down the wrong path. Trust in them. The Book of Destiny will teach you more when it is time to learn new things. I believe in each of you. In time, you will grow to believe in each other. Your powers will not reach their full potential until you work as a team and completely trust the others with your life.

And with that, Zordon, disappeared and Alpha returned to normal.

“Is that it?” Kallie asked softly.
“It was the last recording we have of him,” Billy answered.
“But it may not be the last time you hear him,” Kimberly smiled. “His spirit is out there. He’s watching over us,” Kimberly confirmed.

An hour passed since Zordon's words. Kimberly and Billy had left the Rangers alone in order to let the intensity of the situation sink in. The group had paired off to discuss the situation.

Jacob came and sat next to Brian on the staircase.
"So Kimberly said, you found out things a bit early."
"Yeah, it was quite a shock finding out why you Harts really left Angel Grove. I mean when you said you were moving I thought you meant to another town not another galaxy," Brian laughed.
"Yeah, it was a bit of a trip." Jacob kidded.
Brian got serious for a moment.
"Jacob, this situation we've gotten ourselves into. On a scale of 1-10, how serious is it."
Jacob looked back. "24."


Kallie and Jessie hadn't left the table. The two girls quickly bonded, and had been talking for a solid hour.
"So what's the story on your brother?" Kallie asked.
"Kallie, take my advice. My brother is complicated. There are a lot of things about him, you don't know yet," Jessie confided.
"Care to share any of them?" Kallie inquired.
"I can't. I'm sorry, it's just personal stuff, you know. Let's just say that he is occupied at the time," Jessie said sitting back in her chair.
Kallie looked over to Jacob laughing with his old friend Brian. What could those secrets be?

"Look at her, Donte. Could it be anymore obvious that she has a thing for him?" Phillip was livid.
"Well dude, she's never going to have a thing for you if you don't tell her how you feel," he said as he continued to use the digital map to scan for signs of Nemesis.
"She should know by now. We've been around each other for how many years now?"
"Exactly my point. You may have just missed your opportunity, Phillip. She might be moving on."


"Kimberly, do you think this group will be able to do it?" Billy questioned.
She thought about it for a moment as she looked around the room.
"How could they not. It's in the genes."

END OF EPISODE THREE

[Jacob Hart]

EPISODE THREE
“Zords and Exposition”



It was early morning and the Command Center was quiet with no activity. The Rangers were all asleep in their beds. All of them except one.

Jacob Hart quietly walked down the stairs into the Command Center.
“DECA, turn on the lights please,” he commanded.
“Initiating power controls. Good Morning Jacob. Is there anything else I can do for you this morning?”
“Yes. I need you to set up a communication link with Project Genesis on the desk computer.”
“Initiating communication link. To where should I direct the link?” DECA asked.
“Cadet Lyndsay Tate.”

Jessica Hart sensed something was not right. She sat up in her bed and noticed the light on in her brother’s room across the hall. She walked over and saw that the bed was made and her brother was no where to be found. Using her powers of telepathy, she located Jacob in the Command Center talking to someone on the computer.
“I swear…I’m going to kill him,” she said shaking her head and heading into the bathroom.

http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/LyndsayTate.jpg
(Lyndsay Tate is played by Allison Mack)

“I was beginning to think you wouldn’t call,” Lyndsay said smiling.
Lyndsay Tate was a cadet at Project Genesis at a very young age. When the Hart Twins arrived she’d already been through two years of training. As C-Level cadets, Lyndsay, the twins, and four others patrolled the areas of Earth not under current Ranger protection. On several occasions she accompanied the twins on special missions ordered by Captain Kimberly Hart. Over the last two years, Lyndsay and Jacob had become very close.
“You know if I say I’m going to do something I will find a way to do it,” Jacob help smiling. It had been weeks since he’d seen her face.
“How are things going in Angel Grove?” she asked.
“I don’t really want to talk about that. I want to talk about you,” he answered.
“You’re sweet, but I figured you’ve been gone long enough now that Billy is probably ready to work with you on the power harvest,” Lyndsay had concern in her voice.
Jacob had tried to put this thought out of his mind. The Power Harvest was a special mission he’d been assigned by the Commander. It wasn’t something he was looking forward too because it would be the most dangerous mission to date. But he also knew that Billy would not begin the mission until he felt comfortable leaving the Rangers to defend Angel Grove by themselves.
“He hasn’t mentioned it yet,” Jacob stated flatly. “I don’t think we’re at the point with the other Rangers that we can. The Four Mystics haven’t received all their powers yet. But what about you? How are things going with your new assignment?”
“Good. I’m working with Steven Landors training the new C-Squad. Their seven good kids, but they have some growing up to do first.”
“How’s my boy doing?” Jacob got choked up talking about it. “I miss him so much Lyndsay.”
“I know you do. I talk to him everyday about you. We’ve even watched some of the battles you’ve had in Angel Grove, and I point at the White Ranger and tell him that that is his daddy,” Lyndsay replied.
“Is he awake? I really want to talk to him.”
“He heard you were calling and has been waiting. But he wants to show you something,” Lyndsay said with a huge smile on her face.
She stood from the table she was sitting at and moved the chair away. She returned and kneeled down on the floor with their 1-year old son. She stood him next to the chair and he held on to it. Then, she backed about three feet away.
“Come on. Show Daddy what you can do,” she spoke.
The child began walking toward his mother.
Jacob’s eyes grew wider and the tears began to form. He was watching his son walk. He was emotional from seeing this occasion, but part of him knew that the first time this had happened he’d not been there to see it.
Lyndsay scooped her son into her arms and sat back down at the table with her son in her lap. The baby saw his daddy on the screen and gave him a huge baby grin. Jacob waved at him, and the baby waved back. Jacob was overwhelmed with the emotion he felt. He knew his duty was as a Ranger, but he wanted nothing more than to be at home with his family.
“Say hello to your son, Jacob,” Lyndsay broke him out of his trance.
“Hey Skylar! How is my little boy?”


In the stair well from the mansion to the command center, Jessie Hart stood. Her brother was under strict orders to keep his private life from the others for the time being. But his need to see them had proven stronger than his need to follow orders. As usual, Jessie had to protect her twin by standing in the stairwell to keep others from discovering his secret. While she stood there she was able to hear the hurt in her brother’s voice as he continued to talk to his fiancée and his son. She too missed her best friend and nephew, but knew it was nothing compared to the emotional turmoil her brother was enduring. Jessie looked at her watch. The other Rangers would be coming down soon. She started to make noise coming down the stairwell.

Jacob heard someone coming.
“Lyndsay, I have to go. Skylar buddy I love you I promise I will come see you soon. Lyndsay…” he began.
“I know,” she smiled with every ounce of love she had I her. “You don’t have to tell me. Wave goodbye to daddy, Sky. You should go now Jacob.”
“I love you,” As he said this the link disconnected.
He turned to see his sister walking toward him.
“Little brother, you have got to be more careful. I heard every word. If it had been one of the others, Commander would crawl your butt for that.”
Jacob knew he had taken a huge risk. His sister was right, but to him, the risk had been worth it. He knew Jessie understood how he felt. After all, if she didn’t, who would.
“Jacob, I know you’re hurting. I know you want to be with Lyndsay and Sky instead of here, but first and foremost we’re Rangers. You have a responsibility to stop Nemesis so that Sky has a wonderful world to grow up in.”
The twins didn’t have anymore time to discuss things. They heard the others coming down the stairs.
“Good morning guys. Did you sleep well?” Kallie asked as she walked over to the twins.
“Somewhat,” Jacob answered.
“So what is so important that Billy wanted us down here so early in the morning?” Donte asked.
They heard a sound from behind them. Next to the staircase, smoke was coming from an opening in the wall as a door they had never seen before opened. Through the door came Billy.
“I got you up so early because your new training simulator is up and running,” Billy answered.
“Is it from the plans you’ve been working on?” asked Brian.
“What can we do with it?” asked Phillip.
“Yes, it’s my new design. It’s just like the ones at Project Genesis. Anyone want to try it out,” Billy asked.
Phillip looked over and noticed that Jacob wasn’t paying attention.
“I think Jacob and I should try it out first.”
Jacob looked up at him. “That’s okay. I’m not feeling that great. I’m sure one of the others would be willing to spar with you,” Jacob explained.
“I’m sure they would. Don’t worry about it Jacob. I’m sure no one would blame you for not wanting to fight me. Afterall you’ve never won a fight with me,” Phillip egged him on.
“Dude, you’re not actually going to count playground fights from when you were six are you?” Brian joked.
“Who knows. I’m sure he’s forgotten all about it.”
Jacob got up and headed toward the stairs. Phillip walked toward the simulator.
“Jacob, while your up there why don’t you finish breakfast and clean the kitchen. I’ll spar with your sister instead.”
Phillip walked into the simulator. Jessie just looked around at the other Rangers, and started to walk inside as well. Before she could, Jacob grabbed her arm and pulled her out, and took her place inside. The door shut and the simulation began. It looked like a boxing ring. Phillip walked toward Jacob and the sparring began. At first, Jacob just blocked every punch and kick Phillip threw at him, but eventually his emotions took over. Jacob got aggressive and started to hit back. Many of his blows hit Phillip square in the chest knocking him to the ground.

When Phillip turned back around, Jacob saw flames in his eyes, literally. Phillip stood and Jacob saw a red aura glowing around him. Outside the simulator the other Rangers and Billy were watching on the viewing screen.
“Are you guys seeing this?” Kallie asked.
“It looks like Phillip is tapping into his mystic powers,” Billy explained.
Back inside, Phillip went after Jacob. The fight was much more even. Both Rangers were getting an equal amount of punches in.
“Okay this is getting too personal. DECA switch simulation to Alpha Beta Omega,” Billy ordered.
The ring they were fighting in switched to Angel Grove Park. In front of Phillip and Jacob stood Galastic and Robotron.
“Do you think maybe we can put our differences aside and fight them instead of each other?” Jacob asked.
Phillip simply nodded. Both of them put their right arms in front of them.
“MYSTIC SPIRIT RANGER FORM, HAH!”
Red Ranger began battling Galastic and White Ranger fought Robotron. Each was losing on their own.
Jessie knew what they needed to do. Using her telepathy she spoke to Phillip.
“Concentrate on your mystic powers. The Power of Fire can be used with that of ice.”
Phillip received the message.
“I know I can do this.” From deep within he could feel the warmth of fire take over. He looked down to see his sword was on fire. He looked down at his left hand to see flames there as well. He pointed his sword at Galastic and shot fire toward the demon. As Galastic disappeared, Phillip turned to see Jacob on the ground below Robotron. Turning quickly he shot fire at him as well. Jacob looked up to see Phillip saving him. Rolling out of the way, he watched as Robotron disappeared as well.

White Ranger stared at Red Ranger.
“Thank you for helping me.”
“Just because we may not like each other doesn’t mean we can’t fight together,” Red Ranger stated.
“Well I hope that is true for your sake,” a voice said from behind them.
Both turned to see Nemesis standing in his robed form behind them. Bolts of red lighting flew towards them. After they jumped out of the way Jacob yelled for Phillip.
“If we combine our powers it might buy us some time.”
“Right!”
Red and White Rangers stood side by side raising their right arms toward Nemesis.
“FIRE AND ICE ATTACK, HAH!”
From the palms of their hands streams of fire and ice combined and attacked their Foe. Nemesis disappeared. As they stood there, a flame appeared in front of Phillip. Within the flame he saw a Hawk. The Hawk appeared through the flames and landed on his shoulder. From there, the bird turned into a power coin and levitated toward Red Ranger’s morpher and absorbed into it. Phillip felt the new power enter his system.


As Phillip and Jacob exited the simulator, the others buzzed with the fact that a new zord had been found.
“Billy, this means I can use the hawk zord right?” Phillip asked.
“Yes, the hawk has given you its powers, but you will not be able to create a Megazord until the others find their Zords,” Billy explained.
“How do we do that?” Donte asked.
Jessie was already working on that. She walked toward the research area of the command center and used her power to open the Book of Destiny. “We should be able to find something in here.”

The Siren went off and DECA informed the Rangers of a new threat.
“Location of new demon is Angel Grove Beach. Identity Bellatrix, demon. Geracks are also located in the area.
“Jacob and I will stay and decipher the book, you go fight Bellatrix,” Jessie suggested.
“Right, Rangers Ready!” Phillip ordered.
“Ready!”
“MYSTIC SPIRIT, RANGER FORM, HAH!”

Bellatrix was on the beach attacking the citizens of Angel Grove. He was about to attack an innocent young man with no defense. Before he could hurt him, Red Ranger’s sword stopped the blow. Pushing Bellatrix back, he yelled for the boy to run. Red and Yellow Rangers attacked Bellatrix while Blue and Black worked on the Geracks.
“Flaming sword attack!” Red Ranger called out.
The Flames over took Bellatrix, but did not defeat him.
Blue and Black were rocking through the Geracks. One after another fell to their weapons.
“Guys we need you help,” called Yellow Ranger.
Blue and Black joined Red and Yellow and the four of them fought Bellatrix.
“Combine your weapons!” ordered Red Ranger.
Red Rangers sword combined with Yellow Rangers double swords. The three lay on top of Black Ranger’s ax and then Blue Ranger maximized his Blasters to canon mode and the other weapons docked on top of it.
The Rangers called out “MYSTIC CANON FIRE”
The four Rangers blasted Bellatrix. Bellatrix fell apart. The Rangers celebrated but quickly Yellow Ranger realized something was not right. Bellatrix reformed and stood before them.
A strong wind blew through the beach. With it, brought Pink and White Rangers.
“Guys, in order for you to retrieve your zords, you must completely accept your Mystic Powers,” Pink Ranger explained.
Black, Blue and Yellow felt the powers increase inside them. Red, White and Pink defended them from Bellatrix.

“Come on Kallie, you felt these powers before. Bring them back.” Yellow Ranger thought to herself.
The ground began to rumble beneath her feet. Inside her helmet her eyes turned yellow. A yellow aura surrounded her. She looked toward Bellatrix and dove into the ground. The ground shook as she headed in his direction. Coming up underneath his feet, she threw him twenty feet into the air and dropped him. As she returned to earth, a yellow fog came out of the ground. In it she saw a yellow bear walking toward her. She reached out and placed her hand on its head and the power entered her Ranger Form. She looked at her hand and her zord power coin was there. She placed it in her morpher and returned to the fight.

Donte kept feeling shocks all over his body. Looking at his hands he saw lighting flashes coming from his body. He looked to Bellatrix attacking his friends and pointed his arm in that direction. A bolt of electricity flew from his body and shocked Bellatrix to his knees. The Black Ranger felt his power increase. From the bolt of lightning came the form of a Bison. The Bison ran toward him and the power entered his body with the bison turning into a power coin and entering his morpher. Donte now felt this new power and joined the fight against Bellatrix.

Through all of the action, the Rangers lost track of the Blue Ranger.
“Where is Brian?” Jacob called out while ducking a blow from Bellatrix.
“We have to find him,” Phillip answered back.
A huge wave a water came toward them from the lake.
“Look!” screamed Jessie.
The Blue Ranger was surfing on top of a shark’s back toward the group.
“Wave Attack!” called out the Blue Ranger.
Bellatrix was knocked down by the water.
The Shark gave its power to Brian.

The Rangers stood there together; a group of six.
“MYSTIC SPIRIT RANGERS!!” called out all six Rangers.

“White as snow, and solid as ice, WHITE MYSTIC RANGER!”

“Pink as the sunset, and powerful as the wind, PINK MYSTIC RANGER!”

“Black as the night, and shocking as electricity, BLACK MYSTIC RANGER!”

“Blue as the ocean and strong as the sea, BLUE MYSTIC RANGER!”

“Yellow as the sun, and firm as the Earth, YELLOW MYSTIC RANGER!”

“Red as fire, and destructive as the flames, RED MYSTIC RANGER!”

“POWER RANGERS SUPERSONIC ATTACK!”

The Rangers used each of their mystic powers to create a wave of energy that struck and destroyed Bellatrix.

The Rangers looked to the sky when they heard a familiar voice.
“Demon of the night, Rise once more and fight!” Mallix called out and Bellatrix rose from the ashes.

“Here we go guys. Jacob, you and Jessie take care of Mallix, we’ll get Bellatrix.”
“Right!” he agreed.

“MYSTIC ZORDS ARISE!”
From the different elements they created each animal returned and changed into their Zord forms.
“MYSTIC ZORDS COMBINE!”

The Rangers watched as the Bear Zord created the legs. The Bison Zord formed the body and left arm. The Shark Zord formed the right arm. The Hawk Zord formed the breast plate and head of the MEGA MYSTIC ZORD.

“Power Sword!” called Phillip.

The Mega Mystic Zord fought Bellatrix, But on the ground the twins went after Mallix. The demon wanted nothing to do with them and disappeared.
“We should call our Zords and help them,” Jacob stated.
Their communicators beeped.
“Jacob,” Billy began speaking. “Return to the Command Center immediately. It is time to begin The Harvest. Jessie wait there and if the others need your help call the Spirit Mega Zord.”
“Are you okay?” Jessie asked.
“I’ll have to be. Take care of yourself,” Jacob hugged his sister. “Mystic Runner!”
The White Mystic Runner appeared and he jumped on.
“Jessie,” he began. “If something happens to me make sure Lyndsay and Skylar are taken care of, okay?”
It was the first time she truly felt nervous about what her brother was about to endure. “I will. Please, Jacob, be careful.”
Jacob disappeared in the distance.

The Mega MysticZord took its strike pose.
The four Rangers said in unison, “Mega MysticZord Final Strike!”
The Power Zord did a trip strike and Bellatrix was no more.


When the Rangers returned to the Command Center, Kallie noticed Jessie crying in the corner. The others quickly noticed as well.
“Jessie what’s wrong?” she asked.
“I’m really sorry guys. We should have told you. Part of our mission here was to make sure that you gained your Mystic Powers. When that happened we knew our Commander was sending Jacob on a dangerous mission.”
“You mean he’s gone?” Brian asked.
She simply nodded.
“Will he be coming back?” Phillip truly sounded concerned.
“I hope so, but this mission is extremely dangerous. He has to do it alone. The only assistance he has is through his communicator if he needs help,” she tried to control her emotions. “Let me show you.”
She placed her hands on the Book of Destiny sitting in her lap and the magic opened the book. She turned the pages to one titled, “The Chamber of Powers.”

“You know how in Physics there is a law about energy not being made nor destroyed?” she asked.
“Yes,” Donte answered. “It’s one of the basic laws of Physics.”
“Ranger energy is no different. All of the Rangers that have lost their powers simply lost the use of them. The powers themselves returned to The Chamber of Powers.” She explained.
“And that is where Jacob is headed?” Kallie questioned.
Jessie looked up.
“It’s his destiny. He has to locate all the Ranger energies and return them to their owners before Nemesis gains full power. If he doesn’t everyone on Earth will perish.” Jessie said as she closed the book.

END OF EPISODE FOUR

[Jacob Hart]

EPISODE FIVE: “The Power Harvest”



Jessie found herself on a hillside overlooking Angel Grove Lake. She was kneeling in front of a gravestone. The tears streaming down her face could not be stopped.

“I just don’t understand how this could happen. How could I lose you?” she cried.
Behind her, a figure walked up the hill and leaned against a tree behind her.
“Jessie, sometimes we lose people and we can’t explain it. I know your hurting. I’m hurting too. Losing a member of the family isn’t easy for anyone on either side.”
Jessie turned to see Jacob standing behind her.
“I have to go now. But you should know I will never be far from you,” Jacob said and faded away.
“Jacob!! No don’t go!! Don’t leave me!!!” Jessie screamed out.

“Jessie, wake up!!” Brian put his arms around her and held her close. “It’s a bad dream Jessie. Jacob’s not going anywhere.”
Jessie’s head jumped up from the table she had fallen asleep on. She looked around the room to see Brian, Kallie, Donte, and Phillip with concerned looks on their faces. Jessie had tried to explain to them the importance of the mission her brother had gone on, but left out some pretty major details.
“I’m sorry guys. I must have dozed off. Have we heard anything from Billy yet?” she asked.
“No, it’s been six hours and nothing,” Brian answered. He was worried about his brother as well because he had no idea what role he was playing in this mission. “Jessie, I still don’t understand what’s going on. Why would finding a secret cave be so dangerous?”
Jessie knew she needed to tell them, but it was a fine line between what they needed to know and what she could actually tell them.

“It’s not a cave, Brian.” She began. “But it is a chamber so to speak.”
“Stop speaking in riddles, Jessie. I think we deserve to know what is going on,” Phillip insisted.
Jessie nodded her head in agreement.
“In theory, the mission is simple,” Jessie attempted an explanation. “Nemesis is the most powerful demon in all the universe. Now that he has returned to Earth, he will attract enemies of the past, present, and future. In order to combat that, we must increase our forces as well. Zordon put a plan in motion called the Chamber of Power. The location would send out a sort of homing beacon for Ranger powers if they were ever lost or removed from the Rangers themselves.”
“So, Jacob has to find this Chamber and retrieve all of these old powers?” Donte inquired.
Jessie shook her head.
“Not exactly. He already knows where it is. In fact, he’s the only one that has ever been there, and is the only one that can access the power.”
“So if he already knows where the chamber is then why is this such a difficult mission?” Phillip was trying to understand.
“You’re asking the wrong question, Phillip. It’s not a matter of where the chamber is located. It’s what he has to go through to get there.”


Billy and Jacob stood at the front entrance of Project Genesis. To Jacob, it felt like home. But he also knew what awaited him on the inside. Project Genesis was protected by state of the art equipment produced by NASADA. The entire facility was enclosed with cloaking technology that would keep the average onlooker, or evil villain, from detecting its presence. The United States Government itself had funded the project along with 80 other countries. It was the belief that if you could train enough Rangers, they could defend the entire planet.

As the two walked down the long corridor to the entrance, Billy could sense Jacob’s nervousness.
“You know everything is going to be okay, right? The finest brains in the company will be working with you to make sure that nothing happens,” he said comforting.
“Yeah, I know,” Jacob agreed blandly.

“Please identify yourselves.” The DECA computer system asked.
Both placed their hands on key pads for the palm scan.
“Mr. Billy Cranston and Captain Jacob Hart, welcome back to Genesis.”
The doors opened.
“Captain? But I’m only a cadet?” Jacob questioned.
“Not anymore little brother,” Jacob turned to see his oldest sister walking toward him. “I sensed that you two were here. I thought I’d meet you at the door.”
Kimberly Hart was all smiles. Jacob took note of his sister’s uniform. The grey suit with red lining showed four stars on her lapel.
“You’ve been promoted!” Jacob smiled.
“So have you,” she winked.
She reached up to his collar and pinned on a third star to his lapel. “Jessie has been promoted too. You will have to take hers to her when all this mess is over.”
Jacob saw concern in his sister’s eyes. Even though she was older and more experienced he always wanted to protect her.
“So Kim, you only have like two people on the whole planet that out rank you now. That has to feel good.” He tried changing the subject.
“It does. In fact, they have insisted on helping you through your journey today. Billy, I am supposed to take you to see the General now. He is looking forward to seeing his old friend. Jacob, I am sure that there are a few places you want to go before you begin the mission.”
“Yes. Can you tell me where Lyndsay is?” he asked.
“She’s on the training fields right now.”
The three said their good-byes and separated. Jacob knew his way around Genesis much better than Angel Grove. He couldn’t help but take in all the scenery around him. He missed this place so much.

http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/DanaMitchell-Drew.jpg
(re-introducing Dr. Dana Mitchell-Drew)

“You aren’t lost are you?” a voice called out from behind him.
Jacob turned and saw who was speaking to him. Standing there was Dana Mitchell, the former Lightspeed Pink Ranger. He could see that things had changed since he’d last seen her. She was pregnant.
“Well, well, well! There sure has been a lot of things going on with you. How are you doing? And what are you doing here?” he asked as he gave her a hug. Dana had been one of his trainers when he’d injured himself before.
“You’re the reason I’m here. I’m one of the ones doing your procedure today,” she answered. “And as for my belly, I’m six months pregnant. We’re having a girl.”
“I am really sorry I wasn’t able to come to the wedding. I really wanted too, but with training and everything…”
“Don’t worry about it. I got the present you and Jessie sent. Thank you,” she responded.
“So what’s your husband’s name again?”
“Donavan Drew. He has started a new laser technology plant that NASADA has a lot of interest in. Hopefully, things will turn out well for us,” she beamed when she talked about him.
“Well, I’m actually trying to find Lyndsay. I want to see her and Skylar before the…well you know”
“I’m sure she wants to see you two. That boy of yours is adorable.”
“I’m sure your daughter will be too. Have you decided on a name?” he asked.
“Sydney. Donavan and I both love that name, and it’s where we went on our honeymoon,” Dana answered.
The two said their good-byes and Jacob continued walking toward the training fields.

He spotted her immediately. She was working with two others he recognized. Before being assigned to Angel Grove, Jacob and his sister were a part of a group of Rangers that worked across the globe on secret missions. The sole purpose of the group was locating Nemesis. Once he was found, the group was separated and sent on different assignments. That was two months ago. The group was led by Kimberly Hart, the first female Red Ranger on Earth. Jessie and Jacob were the same colors as they are now; pink and white. Lyndsay was the Blue Ranger. Jacob’s best friend and roommate, David Skylar, whom they named their son after, was the Green Ranger. They also served with three others. Addison, the Black Ranger, and the two men working with Lyndsay currently. Steven Landors was the Purple Ranger, and Felix Delgado, the Yellow Ranger. Together they made up the Spirit Force.

While Jessie and Jacob had been assigned Angel Grove, the others were busy as well. Lyndsay, Steven, and Felix, all stayed at Project Genesis to train new Rangers. David and Addison were different stories. Both had been sent on missions and never returned. Both were missing in action.

http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/friend4.jpg introducing Steven Landors
http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/friend5.jpg introducing Felix Delgado

Jacob could hear Steven’s voice.
“A ranger should always be ready for any situation. You never know when and where an attack can come from,” he heard him say. Then he heard Steven’s voice in his head. “I can tell your standing up there. Want to have some fun with these cadets?”
All the Spirit Rangers had the power of telepathy. He could tell Felix and Lyndsay knew he was there as well.
“Sure why not,” he laughed.
The air became cold. All of the cadets began to shiver. They looked around and could not understand how it could be so cold with the sun shining. All of a sudden they were all knocked to the ground by a gust of wind. When they stood, four ninjas, White, Blue, Purple, and Yellow stood before them.
A young man of about 18 seemed to take the lead and began the attack. The four ninjas took on the class of twenty. Jacob noticed that some were far more advanced than others. The kid that began the attack singled him out. Jacob couldn’t help but be impressed. Even though his skills didn’t match up to Jacob, they were far more advanced than the others. But even this kid could not stand up to the Spirit Ninjas.
The sparring ended as quickly as it began.
“Who are you?” the young man asked.
The four former partners revealed themselves and the group of cadets saw Jacob Hart’s face for the first time.
“You’re…you’re Jacob Hart!” the boy couldn’t contain his excitement.
“Yep. What’s your name?” Jacob asked.
“Marcus, sir. Marcus Sanders.”
http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/MarcusSanders.jpg introducing Marcus Sanders

“Not bad kid. Keep up the good work. Steven, Felix good to see you again,” Jacob said as he shook their hands. “I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to steal my fiancée away for a little while.”

Jacob and Lyndsay walked back to their quarters. They hadn’t really said anything. They just enjoyed being in the presence of each other. Lyndsay knew why he was there and was concerned, but knew the last thing Jacob wanted was to think about it now.
“It was good to see Steven and Felix again,” Jacob stated.
“Yeah, they always ask about you. You know Felix and Kacey are having a baby soon,” Lyndsay informed.
“I ran into Dana Drew and saw that she was pregnant too. There must be something in the water,” he laughed. “Does Steven still insist that Edie and their boy not live at Genesis?”
“I think that’s more Edie than Steven,” Lyndsay joked. “She likes to keep Jack away from all the ‘craziness’ I believe is what she calls it. I think Felix and Kacey plan to do the same.”
“They would be much safer here. Especially with Nemesis out there. I worry about you and Skylar all the time. Where is my boy anyway? I can’t wait to see him.”
“Emily is taking care of him for me. Her son absolutely adores Sky. They love to play together,” Lyndsay said.
They knocked on the door and a young woman their age answered.
http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/EmilyCarson.jpg introducing Emily Carson

“Well hey stranger! It’s good to see you! I certainly wasn’t expecting you today,” Emily Carson gushed.
She heard a crash behind her.
“Bridge, stop trying to stand on your head! You’re only 2 years old for goodness sakes. You two excuse me.”
Jacob had stopped paying attention. He saw his son’s eyes looking back at him. Sky’s grin was from ear too ear and he clapped his hands when he saw his daddy. Jacob got down on his knees and Sky walked towards him. He almost started running. Jacob scooped him up in his arms and Sky put his little arms around his dad’s neck.
“Hey little man! It’s so good to see you.”
“Daddy!” Sky called out.
Sky’s words took the breath out of both his parents. It was his first word. They laughed and celebrated with their son.
Unfortunately, the celebration had to end.

Standing in front of the happy family was Commander Kimberly Hart, Commander Wesley Collins, and Billy.
http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/WesleyCollins.jpg re-introducing Wesley Collins

“Jacob, it’s time. Why don’t you bring Lyndsay and Sky with you. The General would like to speak to you before the mission begins,” Kimberly began.
With Sky in one arm and his other hand holding Lyndsay’s, the three walked with them to the medical wing of Genesis. Once inside the room, Jacob began recognizing those around him. Dana was seated over in the corner. He also noticed other former Rangers in the room. Kathryn Hilliard, whom he knew had become a doctor of psychotherapy was there as well as Cassie Chan who was the resident physician at Project Genesis. It was the first time he realized how many former Pink Rangers were in the medical field.

http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/CassieChan.jpg re-introducing Dr. Cassie Chan
http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/KathrynHilliard.jpg re-introducing Dr. Kathryn Hilliard

After exchanging pleasantries, Cassie began to explain the procedure.
“Jacob, Kathryn will be monitoring your brain activity and using Kimberly as your psychic connection. Dana will monitor your heart and vital signs. Billy and his assistants will help with the extraction and then the General and Lt. Commander will work on the storage issue.”
“Who are Billy’s assistants?” Lyndsay asked concerned.
“We are,” Steven answered as he and Felix walked through the door. They were accompanied by Danny Carson, the technical advisor for the Spirit Rangers.
http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/DannyCarson.jpg introducing Danny Carson

Jacob and Lyndsay felt better knowing their friends were there to help.
Jacob looked into Cassie’s eyes. “What are my odds?”
“We are all going to be here for you. I’d say very good.” She tried to comfort him.
“Cassie, no one understands how hard this will be more than I do. Don’t sugarcoat it. What are my chances for survival?”
Her face seemed more grim.
“This procedure has never been done. New procedures always have a 50% mortality rate. But that’s what I’m here for. You do your part of the mission. Zordan chose you to hold the Chamber of Power because he knew you could handle it. Just like all those times you helped me as the Phantom Ranger, I know you can do this. Let me worry about the other stuff. I’m a damn good doctor. I’m not going to let you go anywhere.”

The doors to the medical bay opened. A stream of cadets entered with trays containing important materials.

Each contained a set of Ranger morphers that he recognized from the past. The final tray held a shield he did not recognize.

“ATTENTION” Commander Wesley Collins called out.
Jacob turned around to see the two highest ranking officers of Project Genesis enter the room.

Lt. Commander Andros and General Jason Lee Scott.
http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l412/JacobHart_photos/Andros.jpg re-introducing Lt. Commander Andros

“Jacob, it’s so good to see you again,” Andros said as he shook his hand.
Jacob knew Andros very well. Part of his training had been on KO-35. However, the person he couldn’t help but watch was the person standing behind him. General Jason Lee Scott.

“Jacob, how is that brat of a little brother of mine treating you?” he asked.
“Not bad, sir. We’re working well together.”
“No need to lie to me. I’ve been watching. But I appreciate your candor,” Jason smiled. “Lyndsay, if you will take Sky with you. It’s time to begin the procedure.”
She turned and put her arms around Jacob and her son. She was trembling from the fear of losing her love. She kissed him gently on the lips. Jacob held his son close to him and then kissed him on the cheek.
“Skylar, daddy has to work now, and its going to make him a little sick. So think really good thoughts about us being together and everything will be okay.”
The entire room was quiet as Jacob said goodbye to his loved ones. Everyone knew how serious this could be.

Lyndsay walked out the door and looked back through the window. She saw Jacob morph into the Phantom Ranger and then remove his helmet. He lay on the table and the others began to hook him up to all kinds of machines. Finally, Billy approached him with a contraption that looked like a large magnifying glass with a large needle coming from the eye. The needle lowered toward Jacob and pierced the red oval over his heart. She heard his scream of pain and then he was unconscious.


COMMAND CENTER
Jessie turned around and immediately started all the surveillance equipment in the command center. Kallie and Brian followed suit not understanding what she was doing.
“Where is Phillip and Donte?” she asked.
“Donte went to pick up his little brother at school, and Phillip went for a run,” Kallie answered.
“Call them back. The harvest has begun.”


NEMESIS’S LAIR
“Master, there is something going on we should know more about. I can feel that the rangers are up to something. My psychic abilities tell me that they are stretched to their limits. I believe an attack now would be most beneficial,” Ada suggested.
“And I suppose you believe that we should send one of your dreadful demons to Angel Grove,” Nemesis snarled.
“On the contrary, master,” she purred. “Send Galastic and Robotron. Allow Mallix to make them grow. That will keep the Rangers busy until I can figure out what they are up too.”
“Very well, my sweet Ada. Do this for me, and I will reward you fervently,” Nemesis hissed.

COMMAND CENTER
“What is the hurry?” Phillip asked as he came down the stairs.
“Jessie says the harvest began,” Brian answered.
“We’re seeing fluctuations in the morphing grid that Nemesis will undoubtedly see as well,” Kallie continued.
“And Donte is…” Phillip began.
“Still not back from taking his brother home from school.” Kallie continued.
“DECA, can you lock onto his coordinates?” Jessie commanded.
“Affirmative. Coordinates for Donte Taylor are locked.”
“I’m going to get him,” Jessie stated. “Phillip take over surveillance.”
Before she could leave the siren sounded.
“DECA identify demon?” Phillip ordered.
“Demons identified as Galastic and Robotron. Coordinates are less than 100 yards from the Black Ranger.”
“You should go. I’ll stay here and monitor in case another attack happens. I’ll join you if needed,” Jessie suggested.
Phillip nodded and he, Kallie and Brian all called for their Mystic Runners. The three flew to Donte’s location and found him battling both demons at once. Once the four were together the fight was more fair.

“MYSTIC SPIRIT RANGER FORM, HAH!”

The Rangers continued to battle.


GENESIS

Jacob was still on the operating table. Three hours had passed since the beginning of the procedure. Kimberly was maintaining a psychic connection, and was trembling from seeing what her brother had to deal with. The true battle was inside his soul. Buried deep within his very being was the Chamber of Power. Getting to it was not a problem. His Phantom Power made that part easy. He could even see each one. The problem centered around the fact that in order to release a power, Jacob had to fight it. One after one, he battled each Ranger Spirit. He’d already endured twenty battles, and he was getting tired. But still, he pressed on.
“You must be tired by now,” the DinoThunder Red Ranger Power stated. “Do you really think you can free me?”
“It is my destiny,” Jacob said as he pulled himself from the ground.
The two battled ferociously.
On the outside, Cadet Landors received an urgent message for General Scott.
“Sir, this just came from Captain Jessie Hart. There are two superdemons attacking Angel Grove.”
The message was absorbed through Kimberly’s ears and into Jacob’s subconscious.
“Hear that?” he said to the DinoThunder Red Ranger Spirit. “We gots to speed this up. I’ve got work to do.”
On the outside, everyone watched as a Red ball of light exited from Jacob’s right hand and drifted toward the Red Dino Gem.
“What should we do sir?” Cadet Landors asked again.
“Put Genesis on an orange alert. Inform Captain Hart we are monitoring the situation, and retrieve the Purple and Yellow Spirit Morphers and help out the Mystics. Nemesis needs to know that he is not the only one that can multiply.”
“Yes sir.” Stephen Landors and Felix Delgado took their leave.
When Lyndsay saw them leave the operating room, she left a sleeping Sky on the bench and stopped them.
“What’s going on? How can you leave at a time like this?” she cried.
“Angel Grove is under a major attack. The general told us to get our Spirit Morphers and be ready to help out,” Felix explained. The two began to run away again.
“Wait!!” she called out again, but when they turned around she didn’t know what she was going to say.
“We have to go, Lyndsay.” Steven felt bad but had to follow orders.
“Grab mine too,” she ordered.
“Lyndsay, I can understand but you should stay here with…”Felix began.
“Last time I checked I outrank both of you. Now get my morpher and have your wives and little Jack teleported here. At least until this battle is over.”
The two nodded their agreement.

In Angel Grove, the Rangers were being pounded. On top of Galastic and Robotron, Nemesis had sent almost 100 Geracks. Jessie was monitoring the situation and knew she had to help out.
“DECA, all commands will come directly from the Ranger morphers. I have to go help out my friends.”
“MYSTIC SPIRIT, RANGER FORM, HAH!”

The Pink Ranger headed toward the fight, but was not allowed to join it before being struck by a bolt of lightning. She looked up to see Ada walking toward her.
“You didn’t think I was going to let the boys have all the fun did you?” she smirked. “Something is going on with the White Ranger, and I’m going to torture you until you tell me. And while I do that, Mallix is going to make things a little harder for your friends.”
She pointed to where Mallix was standing. His staff was directed and Robotron and Galastic.
“Demon of the night, Rise once more and fight!”
Jessie watched as both superdemons grew. She heard her friends call their Zords and the sounds of them responding. She went to call the Elephant Zord as well.
“I don’t think so!” Ada screamed.
Jessie looked around to see herself surrounded by 50 Geracks and Ada. Above them, the Mega Mystic Zord fought two super-sized superdemons.


GENESIS
“So you take care of Sky until I get back. Think you can handle that?”
Lyndsay looked down to Cadet Marcus Sanders.
“Yes Ma’am. I will guard him with my life. Good luck ma’am.”
Well then, Felix, Steven, there is only one thing left to do…” she suggested.
“Right!” they agreed.
“SPIRIT RANGERS POWER UP, HAH!”


ANGEL GROVE
Jessie was tiring from the constant pounding she was receiving. Ada reveled in her soon-to-be victory. Jessie stood in front of Ada and surrounded by Geracks. “You will not defeat me Ada. Traitors never win!”
“You’ll pay for calling me a traitor, Pink Ranger,” Ada yelled.
A cloud of smoke surrounded Jessie.
“Exactly how do you plan on making her pay?” The Blue Spirit Ranger asked.
Ada looked up and saw three Rangers she knew very well.
“You three?? Where did you come from?” she snapped.
“Rangers never give up on one of their own, Addison!” Steven called out.
“My name is Ada!!!” she screamed and attacked them.
“Go help the Mystics, we’ll take care of this,” Lyndsay told Jessie.
“Right! ELEPHANT ZORD ARISE!”
The Elephant ran through the forest toward her.

The Spirit Rangers continued to fight on the ground. Felix and Steven fought the geracks. Lyndsay took on Ada. The Elephant Zord fought Galastic and The Mega Mystic Zord fought Robotron.


GENESIS
“Jason, the situation in Angel Grove is getting worse,” Andros informed the General.
“How many more powers, Billy?” he asked.
“By my calculations,” he looked at his chart. “There are seven left.”
“Cassie, will Jacob be able to fight when he is done?”
“Absolutely not. This drain of power will put him out of commission for at least 48 hours if not longer.”
“Kimberly, Jessie is going to need the Eagle Zord to continue the fight. Is there anyway that can happen?”
“I can try.”
Kimberly concentrated extremely hard as she held her brother’s hand.
Inside, Jacob stood in front of seven ranger spirits: the five Turbo Rangers, the White Ranger, and the DinoThunder Black Ranger. He was poised to fight them all.
“You heard what they said. I have to protect my team. But I have to go through all of you first.”
“No you do not. You have proven yourself worthy Jacob Hart. Zordon chose well. Let these go and I will help you send your Zord,” the White Ranger declared.

“Something is happening,” Cat informed. “His brain activity just doubled.
“So did his heart rate,” Dana called out.
“Jason, there is an energy surge,” Billy included.
Six energy fields all exited his body at once causing Jacob to go into convulsions. The turbo powers entered the final tray of morphers and the Black Dino Power entered its morpher.

“Concentrate on Kim,” the White Ranger ordered.
Jacob did so.
“Tell her to send your thoughts to Jessie,” he continued.
“I hear him,” Kimberly said out loud.

“What did she say?” Andros asked.
“She said, ‘I hear him,’” Kathryn repeated and shrugged her shoulders.

“Jessie, I need you to listen to me,” Kimberly called out.
Jessie looked around her. Her friends, old and new, were all fighting.
“I’m a little busy, Kim.”
“Jessie concentrate.”
“Jacob,” Jessie whispered.
The Elephant Zord stopped moving.

“What’s happening to Kimberly?” Dana asked.
Kimberly’s right arm slowly rose into the air.
“Look!” Cassie called out.
Jacob’s raised as well.

Galastic could not believe his luck. The elephant Zord was a sitting duck.
“I’ll end you Pink Ranger!”
A thunderous screech came down from the sky.
“Look,” Kallie pointed. “Jacob has sent the Eagle Zord.”

“SPIRIT MEGA ZORD COMBINE”

Ada knew she was outnumbered. She saw that all her geracks had been annihilated. Now there were two Mega Zords standing side by side ready to fight. She waved her arm and disappeared.

The two Mega Zords returned their earlier poundings. Galastic and Robotron fell to the ground. Both yielded Spirit Swords and slashed at their opponents. They returned to normal size and also disappeared.


GENESIS
The Spirit Rangers returned to Genesis with Jessie. It was agreed upon that the Mystics would stay and monitor Angel Grove, but that Jessie needed to see her brother.

When they arrived to the operating room, Marcus was asleep on a bench in the waiting area with Sky asleep on top of him. Lyndsay quietly picked up her son and handed him to his aunt. Steven and Felix returned to the operating room. Lyndsay and Jessie watched through the window.

“How are things going?” Felix asked.
“The harvest is over,” General Jason Scott announced. “Now they are trying to bring him back.”

Jacob began to convulse a second time.
“Pressure is dropping,” Dana stated.
“Brain activity is fluctuating too rapidly,” Kathryn continued.
Kimberly fell to the ground as if she’d been punched.
“He cut off our connection. I lost him!” her voice cried.
A white ball of energy exited his right palm and entered its morpher.
The room filled with the noise of Jacob Hart flatlining.

Jessie stood outside the operating room in horror, remembering the dream she’d only had this morning.

EPISODE SIX --- “Jacob’s Secret”


NEMESIS’S LAIR

“Have you seen Ada?” Galastic sneered.
“No, I haven’t seen her since our last battle when she promised Master a victory against the Rangers, and she did not live up to her word,” Robotron was quite pleased with her failure.
“Perhaps Master vanquished her for her failure,” Mallix squealed in his high pitched voice.
“It would serve her right for failing the master!” Galastic jeered.
A voice surrounded them in the room.
“If I vanquished you everytime you failed me you would all be gone fools!”
All three superdemons cowered from the voice.
“Come to my throne room. I have a mission for each of you.”

The trio slowly walked into the throne room to see Nemesis sitting there, his red eyes glowing from underneath the hood of his cloak.
“Before you go thinking you are better than Ada you should realize she is the only one of your four bafoons that has been successful against the Rangers. For that she has been rewarded.”
“But how was she successful?” Robotron bellowed. “We did not defeat the Rangers.”
“That was not the mission you weak-minded, small-brained, lily livered bucket of bolts,” Nemesis charged. “Your attack was an effort to gain information about the Rangers and their Zords. Ada believed there to be other Rangers in hiding and she was right. She also believed that the Zords would not work if one was non-functioning. Again, she was also right. But the third bit of news is the most important.”
“What could it be master?” Mallix begged. “What could be so wicked that it would make you so happy?”
Nemesis laughed the most wicked laugh you could ever imagine.
“The White Ranger, it would seem, has been destroyed.”


OPERATING ROOM AT GENESIS

Through Lyndsay’s eyes she could see that those in the room were doing everything they could to save Jacob. All sound had been muted, all smells erased. All she could concentrate on were the looks on the doctors as the realization covered their faces that they were losing one of The Trilogy. Memories of Jacob and her and Sky flooded her mind. How could this all be over? How could she lose her best friend and the love of her life.
Everyone in the room had stopped. The sound of the machine flatlined resounded through the room. Lyndsay looked around unwilling to accept the fact that he was gone. She had to find some glimmer of hope.

And then she did.

Kimberly Hart was not crying. She simply stood and pulled the glove off of her right hand. She placed it above Jacob’s heart. She concentrated. Using her abilities of psychic power she transferred energy between herself and her little brother. She was determined to find his soul and bring it back.

Something was wrong. It wasn’t working. Jessie saw this and passed Sky to his mother. She ran into the room, stood on the opposite side of the table from Kimberly and placed her hand an inch above Kim’s. Everyone in the room could see the added power being transferred. The Trilogy was now connected.

“Brain activity is increasing,” Kat stated.
“Still no heart rate,” Dana added.

Lyndsay had to try. There was one possibility. The main center of the Spirit Rangers power came from a psychic connection that each member had with the other. All seven Spirit Rangers had telepathic powers. Perhaps she could help Jessie and Kimberly bring him back. She walked into the operating room with Sky and handed her son to Andros. Sky wasn’t sure what was going on, but held on to Andros with all the strength he had. He watched as his mother walked over to his two aunts and placed her hand above theirs and began to concentrate. The psychic connection began to flow through her as well.

“His fingers are moving,” Billy announced.
Cassie looked down at Jacob’s hand. “Muscle reflex returning…..Dana heartbeat?”
Dana stared intently at the screen.
A small bleep crossed the screen.
“No heartbeat yet, activity is still there, Cassie.”

At this point, Felix and Steven had taken their cue from Lyndsay. They joined the three girls and used their abilities as well. Everyone in the room watched as those closest to Jacob attempted to save his life.

The heart monitor began increasing in speed.
The heartbeat had returned.

“Pressure is back up 100/80. Normal patterns emerging,” stated Dana.
“Brain activity running on normal cycles,” Catherine released the breath she’d been holding all this time.
Cassie breathed a sigh of relief as well.

“We’re not out of the woods yet. As I said before this procedure will take at least 48 hours before he gains consciousness again.”
“You’re saying at least,” Jason asked.
“Yes, it could be longer.”


THE COMMAND CENTER

The Mystic Rangers sat quietly in the command center waiting on news about their fallen friend. Jessie had promised to send them news but it had been almost 12 hours and still no word from anyone.

“Does anyone else find it strange that so much fuss is going into taking care of Jacob?” Phillip asked.
The other three Rangers were shocked by his question.
“Phillip, something is wrong. Can’t you tell? All the signs point to it. Billy is not answering his communicator, and neither is Jessie or Jacob. Something is really wrong!” Brian protested.
“So we all sit around here and wait on word about Jacob? We’re supposed to just put our lives on hold and wait on him to complete his mission?” Phillip was annoyed and no one knew why.
“Come on man just cool it. Jacob could be hurt or messed up. Let’s just wait and see what’s up,” Donte was always the one with the cool head. He’d tried to calm down Phillip but it didn’t seem to work.
“Why Donte? Give me one good reason why?”
Kallie had enough.
“Because Jacob wouldn’t think twice about it. You’re the only one harboring resentment here, and for what I have no way in hell of knowing. But if it was you on this mission doing whatever it is that they have him doing, Jacob would be checking on you constantly. Not because he likes you. He doesn’t. You don’t make it very easy for anyone too, but he believes in you and me and the entire team. This is not about you Phillip. This isn’t the Red Ranger Show! This is about the entire team, and one of us is in danger, and until we have him back we are not complete. Now sit down, shut up, and wait like the rest of us!”

Phillip sat down and shut his mouth.
Donte went back to his book.
Brian had to stifle his surprise. It was so out of character for Kallie to do something like that. He looked to see that she was crying. He walked over to her and put his arms around her.

“Incoming message from Project Genesis,” DECA announced.
The four Rangers all moved toward the viewing screen.
“Put it through, DECA,” Phillip said.
“Rangers, it’s good to see you.” Billy smiled.
“How is Jacob?” Kallie quickly asked.
“That’s a complicated answer. I take it you’ve figured out what has happened?” he asked.
The truth is, only Kallie and Brian had taken the clues Jessie gave them to figure out what was going on. Phillip and Donte did not.
“What exactly did happen. Billy?” Donte asked.
“I don’t have much time, but the shorthand version is that the Chamber of Powers isn’t a place, it’s a person. Jacob is the Chamber. We had to extract the powers from him so that when the time comes, we can call upon all the Rangers for assistance. There were complications during the surgery and we lost Jacob for a while.”
All four, even Phillip reacted to the news. It was a shock to their system.
“Is he…” Brian started to ask.
“He’s alive,” Billy interrupted. “But he’s unconscious. It’s unclear when or if he will wake up.”
“So what happens to our team?” Phillip asked.
“That’s a question for someone else besides me. Phillip, there is someone who wants to talk to you anyway. He’s the head of Project Genesis, and the guy we all answer too.
Phillip saw his older brother enter the screen.
“Rangers, we have a lot of work to do. Let me take this as my first opportunity to thank you for taking up this battle in Angel Grove. I think I speak for each of us on the original team when I say you are going to make us proud. Donte, I spoke to Zack just a few days ago. He may be in Europe right now, but he is keeping tabs on you. He loves that you are continuing the legacy of the Black Ranger. Brian, I know how much Billy loves his work, but I can tell he is enjoying working with you even more. Phillip…” Jason smiled. “You’re a lot like me. Don’t forget to learn from your mistakes. Make me proud little brother. And Kallie, I know that Trini is looking down on you from heaven. She is so proud.”
Kallie couldn’t hold the tears back any longer.
Then, Jason got to business.

“Rangers, I am sure that Nemesis has figured out that you are down a Ranger. He is a smart enemy. I am not sure when his next attack will be, but you should get your rest and be ready. I am sending Billy back to you along with Felix and Stephen in case you need back up. They will fight in place of the twins should an attack come before they return. I am keeping Jessie here to help us with Jacob. Should you need her she will return. Get some rest Rangers. May the power protect you.”


THE CHAMBER OF POWER

Jacob opened his eyes to find himself lying on the floor of a dark cave. The cave itself was only lit enough that you would be able to see to find your way. Unsure of what was happening to him, he proceeded toward a white light that was coming from what appeared to be the end of the cave. As he walked he realized that the walls of the cave had turned into glass. Peering inside he saw old Ranger uniforms. He recognized Kimberly’s right away. As he continued he past the uniforms of the Zeo and Turbo Rangers, then the Space and Lost Galaxy Rangers. When he turned the corner following the light again, he saw LightSpeed Rescue and the Time Force Rangers. He noticed how much the Mystic Spirit Uniforms looked like Time Force. After those, Wild Force and Ninja Storm appeared. Then, he recognized the DinoThunder Uniforms to his left, but there were a set of uniforms he’d never seen before to the right.

“That’s strange?” he thought. “I thought I knew all of the Rangers.

As he continued, he saw a mixture of Rangers. It appeared to be three groups of Rangers all intertwined. Jacob couldn’t help but wonder how. He recognized both Mystic Spirit and the Spirit Force Rangers, but the third set he did not know. They were different then all the other. He’d never seen Rangers with capes before.

“Kinda cheesy,” he laughed to himself.

All of a sudden in front of him, there was an opening in the wall and a white light shown through. Jacob heard a voice calling to him to come through the fog and light.
Jacob wasn’t sure he wanted to, but his instincts told him he needed too.
He walked through and lost his breath when he saw where he was. It was the original command center. The one his sister and the original rangers came to with Zordon. But this place was destroyed, Jacob thought. He passed the viewing globe and couldn’t help but look up to Zordon’s tube. It was breathtaking to Jacob.
“It does tend to take your breath away doesn’t it?” he heard a female voice come from behind him.
Jacob turned around and was amazed by who he saw.
“Trini? Is that you?”


NEMESIS’S LAIR

Nemesis had just finished divulging his great plan to his minions.
“So what do you wish for us to do, master?” Mallix squealed.
“Mallix I want you to find six demons that will give the Rangers a run for their money, but don’t have a chance in defeating them,” Nemesis ordered.
“Why such weak demons master?” Mallix asked.
“They will be sacrificed to a greater cause. They will serve a greater purpose.”
“Yes, Master. I will go choose your sacrificial lambs now sir,” Mallix agreed as he backed away from the throne and slithered out of the room.
“As for you two,” Nemesis declared staring his red eyes into their minds. “You will take this map and find a gift that is waiting for me that my former servant Master Vile left on Earth for me. You will find these toys and work on them until they are ready for service.”
Galastic and Robotron could not help but sneer at the plans that were in their hands.
“This is a brilliant plan master,” Galastic stated
“Yes, the Rangers will never see this coming,” Robotron agreed.
“Just go! And do not come back until my plan is ready!” Nemesis yelled.
Galastic and Robotron left the room leaving Nemesis on the throne. Ada crept out of the shadows and stood next to her seated master.
“Do you think they even understand what they are getting themselves into?” she questioned.
His wicked laugh filled the Lair.
“No chance at all. You should go now. Your mission to bring me another female superdemon will not be easy. Especially the one that I want. Now go,”
Ada began to walk out of the Lair, but stopped.
“Wait, I almost forgot. If I’m going to turn a goody two shoes back into a demon I’ll have to change my persona a bit,” she laughed.
It looked as if she was shedding a skin. Ada went away and a beautiful young woman stood there in a business suit and glasses.
“Ada will have to stay here, and let Addison do the dirty work.”


CHAMBER OF POWER

“It really is you, isn’t it?” Jacob was bewildered.
“In the flesh, so to speak,” she smiled.
“I don’t understand?” Jacob could not find the words.
“You don’t have too. I’m here because you are between lives right now. You really had a close one. They almost lost you. We all almost lost you.”
“So I’m not dead?” Jacob couldn’t hide his relief.
“No, but you are hurting badly. It’s up to you how long it takes for you to leave this place. Jacob, there is a reason why you are here?” Trini explained. “Zordon has afforded me this opportunity to help you gain some understanding about the true nature of what it is you are about to do. It hasn’t gone without his notice that you are having doubts about being a Ranger.”
“I don’t doubt being a Ranger!” Jacob objected. “It’s just that my priorities are a little different
