the other members of the Spectrum Force, Sailor Scouts, and Power Rangers. By choosing the strongest fighters, I fear I also chose the strongest of will. First, I dispose of these six, and then, I conquer their universes. One by one.
Part Ten

Chapter Eleven

On the Moon circling the Earth protected by the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the wicked Lord Zedd watchef the Youth Center, hoping to locate the Power Rangers.

"The Rangers managed to defeat my Tenga Warriors," he said to his wife. "But, I can't find them anywhere! Can they still be in the Command Center?"

"Did you even watch the battle, Zeddie?" asked Rita, watching the same spot on the Earth through her Repulsascope. "The White and Black Ninja Rangers disappeared in a strange black hole. It was an inter-dimensional hole, but it sure wasn't mine!"

"It wasn't mine," said Rita's dimwitted brother Rito Revolto. "What're we talking about?"

"We aren't talking about anything!" said Zedd angrily, "I am trying to figure out the best way to take advantage of the Power Rangers' weakness. I suppose I could create a monster..."

"Gee, Ed, if I were in charge, I'd make a monster out of a person, like one of the rangers' friends or something."

"I...I don't believe it," said Lord Zedd. "That actually was a good idea!"

"Great!" said Rito excitedly. "Then, can I be in charge?"

"No. Now, listen to me, Rito. I want you to go down to Earth, and get me an upstanding citizen from Angel Grove. A teenager, like the Power Rangers. The Rangers would never hurt an innocent person, and if they did...they'll never be able to get over the guilt."

Rito nodded, and teleported to Angel Grove Park, where he always could find a teenager. He ducked behind a bush, and watched as a group of teenagers enjoyed a picnic by the lake.

"Cool," he said, "those kids look ideal! Now, which one do I choose?"

Just before Rito stepped out of the bushes, two other young men rushed to the group, one rather lanky, and one rather large. The two young men were wearing police officer uniforms.

"Alright, you four are under arrest!" cried the large one, pointing at the teens.

"For what, Bulk?" asked one tall young man.

"For littering, Richie!" declared the skinny one, pointing his nightstick at Richie. "Don't be a litterbug! Keep our parks clean!"

"Relax, guys!" said an African American boy on the blanket. "We didn't even finish eating yet! We'll clean up everything, once we're done. Okay?"

Bulk and Skull traded confused looks.

"Okay, Curtis," said Skull, "but next time, you get fined."

Bulk and Skull marched away proudly, passing the bushes which concealed Rito Revolto.

"Fantastic!" he cried. "Two upstanding teenagers, just like Ed wanted! And, they're cops, so you know they're two tough teens! I'll just grab one, and be on my way."

As the pair passed the bushes, Skull suddenly was grabbed, and pulled into the shrubbery. But Bulk didn't notice until he turned around, but failed to see his sidekick. Bulk looked around in surprise, and then huffed angrily.

"That Skull," he muttered, continuing his patrol of the park. "He's just so irresponsible. But I don't need him! Nothing gets passed Farcus Bulkmeyer!"

Chapter Twelve

Dozens of alarms scream to life in the Command Center, grasping the attention of all those present -- the Orange, Yellow, Green, and Blue Spectrum Enforcers, the Blue, Pink, Red, and Yellow Power Rangers, and the Sailor Scouts of the Moon, Mercury, and Venus.

"What's that?" asked Sailor Moon, looking around at all the blinking lights. "What's going on?"

"Aye yi yi!" shrieked Alpha 5, hurrying to a computer consul, "Lord Zedd has sent down a new monster!"

"Great," moaned Kimberly. "We so don't need this right now! Not with Tommy and Adam still missing! Where's the monster?"

"THE NEW CREATURE IS CALLED TAURUS, AND HE IS IN ANGEL GROVE PARK, TERRORIZING THE POPULACE."

"Obviously not one for originality," muttered Billy. "This monster may only be here to distract us, and keep us from locating our companions."

"Or, Zedd wants to take advantage of us being short-handed," said Rocky. "We've never defeated a monster without the Black and White Rangers."

"Well," said Craig Gillis, standing up, "you may be missing Tommy and Adam, but you certainly aren't short handed! You know the Spectrum Force will back you up."

"And the same goes for the Sailor Scouts!" said Sailor Moon with a smile. "We'll turn this Zedd character into Moondust!"

"Actually, that may be a good idea," said Billy. "If all of you engage the monster, that may give me, Amy, and Jocelyn more time to search for our friends. I think we may be onto something."

"Do tell," said Tamara.

"I'm now attempting to home in on Tommy and Adam's Power Coins. Ever since we received new powers from Dulcea and Ninjor, the Power Coins are by far more powerful, and therefore easier to track down throughout the Multiverse. Also, the Power is actually bonded to them, thereby making the actual power reading distinguishable from any other power sources."

"But what about Raye and Makoto?" asked Minako. "Or the missing Spectrum Enforcers?"

"We've decided to try to use telepathic communications with them," said Jocelyn. "The Spectrum Force is linked telepathically, and even though Rachel and Keith are out of our range, I think it may be possible to enhance my telepathic skills, magnifying the beacon. Now, Amy said Sailor Mars has some kind of sixth sense, so she may also be able to pick up the telepathic calls."

"Our hope is that at least one of these mediums will work," said Amy, "and we'll find them all together."

"Sounds like you guys figured everything out," said Aisha. "So the rest of us can tackle this new monster!"

"Its Morphin Time!" yelled Kimberly, pulling out her morpher from behind her back. "PINK RANGER POWER!!"

"YELLOW RANGER POWER!!" cried Aisha.

"RED RANGER POWER!!" yelled Rocky.

"Spectrum Sync... YELLOW!!" cried Tamara, holding up her ring.

"Spectrum Sync... GREEN!!" yelled Matthew.

"Spectrum Sync... BLUE!!" roared Craig.

In a blinding mix of bright colors, the six young heroes were transformed into the Power Rangers and the Spectrum Force. Sailor Moon and Venus, who were already transformed, stood beside the other heroes. In eight flashes of light, the heroes vanished from the Command Center, leaving behind Billy Mitchell, Jocelyn Armand, and Amy Anderson, still dressed in the garb of Sailor Mercury.

"Okay," said Jocelyn. "Let's see if your machine can magnify my telepathic powers."

"I AM IMPRESSED WITH YOUR IDEAS,"

said Zordon. "BUT THE STRAIN OF SUCH A TELEPATHIC SUMMONS MAY BE TOO MUCH ON AN INEXPERIENCED TELEPATH SUCH AS YOURSELF. I BELIEVE I SHOULD SEND A TELEPATHIC CALL THROUGH THE MULTIVERSE, BY WAY OF THE ASTRAL PLANE."

"You're a telepath?" asked Jocelyn.

"YES. CENTURIES AGO, I WAS A WIZARD OF ELTAR, BLESSED WITH VAST TELEPATHIC POWER. HOWEVER, IN A PIVOTAL BATTLE AGAINST A DARK AND SINISTER VILLAIN, MY PHYSICAL BODY WAS KILLED. BECAUSE MY CONSCIOUSNESS WAS AT THE TIME INHABITING THE ASTRAL PLANE, I DID NOT DIE COMPLETELY. MY BODY WAS FOREVER GONE, BUT I STILL EXISTED ON THE ASTRAL PLANE. WITH THE HELP OF MY ALLIES, MAINLY KING LEXION AND THE OTHER SCIENTISTS OF EDENOI, I WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH A LINK TO THE PHYSICAL WORLD THROUGH THIS TECHNOLOGY, ENABLING ME TO CONTINUE MY STRUGGLE AGAINST EVIL."

"Can your telepathic power reach out into the Multiverse?" asked Billy, intrigued.

"THE ASTRAL PLANE EXISTS IN ALL DIMENSIONS IN THE COSMOS. FROM THE PLANE, I CAN REACH OUT INTO THE MULTIVERSE, AND SEARCH FOR THOSE WITH TELEPATHIC ABILITIES. I BELIEVE I CAN LOCATE THE PURPLE AND RED ENFORCERS, AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT I CAN ALSO REACH SAILOR MARS. HOWEVER, SINCE HER POWERS AND PSI-PRINT ARE UNKNOWN TO ME, IT WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. WHILE I AM SEARCHING THE MULTIVERSE FOR OUR TELEPATHIC ALLIES, THE THREE OF YOU SHOULD ATTEMPT TO LOCATE THE POWER SIGNATURES OF THE WHITE AND BLACK RANGERS."

"Will do, Zordon," said Jocelyn, "and good luck."

Zordon nodded, and closed his ancient eyes. Immediately, his image faded from the crystal column, leaving Amy, Billy, Jocelyn and Alpha 5 to begin working.

"I hope this Multiversal Scanner will find them in time," said Billy with a sigh, "I recall how difficult it was for me to create a device to link up to the Command Center when I was in Langstrum Alps. It took ages before a signal could be found. And now, there really isn't any way Tommy and Adam can magnify their power signatures, making them easier for us to locate."

"Hopefully, though, your mentor will be able to track down the telepathic team members," said Amy.

"Provided he can find their psi-patterns," said Jocelyn.

"What exactly are psi-patterns?" asked Billy, looking up. "Forgive me, but I'm not very familiar with telepathic abilities. I didn't even know Zordon was a telepath until today."

"The psi-print is an electrical pulse emitted by the neurons of a brain capable of telepathic communication," said Joceyn. "The psi-print varies greatly between individuals, so in a sense, they're telepathic fingerprints. If Zordon knows the psi-print of the Purple and Red Enforcers, then he can track them down through the transversal Astral Plane. The only problem is, he may not be too familiar with their
