The Legend of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Past and the New Chosen

Angel Grove – SkyForce Labs
Jason Lee Scott

It had been twenty minutes since the rangers, plus Ashley and Rocky, showed up at SkyForce Labs and all of the teens were getting restless. While Ashley and Rocky were wide awake and energized, the rangers themselves were tired due to the still feeling the effects of their battle with the corrupted Swan Song.

At least Jason kept himself busy by telling Rocky and Ashley about that battle.

"Man," Rocky drawled out. "The SPD rangers were so fucking cool. Just as cool as you guys. It really is awesome to meet future Power Rangers."

"This is all too much," Ashley said. "Don't get me wrong. You guys are doing an amazing job as rangers but how can you guys deal with it? Battling these insane threats week in and out, risking live and limb. It all seems worrying to me."

"We were chosen to fight by Zordon himself Ashley," Jason said. "He sought us out. We all heeded his call. If we didn't, this world would have been lost and I don't think I could have lived in the wrong Rita wants. Especially now that I've made more friends."

'And now I know what will happen if we fail…' Jason added inwardly.

Jason looked to Zack and saw the same pensive expression Jason knew that he wore himself and narrowed his eyes curiously. Why was Zack looking this way?

"Penny for your thoughts?" Jason asked Zack.

Zack's head snapped up and he turned to give Jason a grin. "Just got some thoughts in this cage. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Hm…What do you think about all of this? Grace I mean?" Jason asked him.

"We should hear her out. I mean she did help during the battle with Swan Song, who I pray stays dead," Zack sighed out. "I mean seriously. Seeing what he did to my powers it was unsettling…"

"Yeah…How is Trini doing?" Jason asked.

"She's been quiet," Zack replied as he gazed to Trini, who sat in the corner away from him and frowned. "And distant since we all woke up…"

"Yeah. I noticed the same about Kimberly," Jason said as he observed Kimberly, who sat on the other side of the room, far away from him as well. "The only ones acting normal is Katherine and Billy."

The pair looked to Katherine giggling at the reddened cheeks of Billy, who scratched the back of his neck bashfully.

Both Zack and Jason let out a sigh. "Just our luck," they said in unison. "But, at least things are okay with you and Ashley," Zack said with a supportive grin. Jason looked to Ashley, who was talking to Rocky about something only for her to turn at him and smile.

He returned the smile and said to Zack "Yeah…At least that's going good."

Just then, the door opened to reveal Grace and by her side was a British woman with long brown hair and black eyes wearing a simple black jacket with a purple shirt and pants combo walked in behind her but while Jane looked pensive and on guard, the other woman looked happy.

"Okay, so which one is my successor?" the woman asked.

Grace pointed to Zack.

The woman grinned and walked up to Zack and said "Jamie Gilmore-Sterling is my name. Former Black Ranger."

"Wait…Jamie Gilmore from the Familiars?" Zack asked with surprise as he stood up.

"The one in the same," Jamie replied.

"Holy shit! My folks used to play your songs all the time before they passed. "Rainbow on the Edge of Eclipse" is one of my favorite songs. This is a huge honor!" Zack said as he held out his hand for her to shake, only for her to pull him into a hug.

"That is so wonderful to hear!" Jamie said as she pulled away with a bright smile. "I was always so worried that people didn't like the direction of our band after the mission to the moon but I'm happy to see otherwise."

"Not the reaction I was expecting," Grace noted to Jason with a smile.

"I know, they are like fast friends," Jason replied with a nod, a smile of his own appearing.

"But man, who knew you rocked the black before me, such lineage," Zack said with a grin.

"I mean black is one of my favorite colors so I am stoked to see a groovy guy has taken my place," Jamie said.

"Aww shucks," Zack said bashfully.

"I think you and I going to get along famously," Jamie said with a wink to Zack before she said "Now let's see the other dear rangers."

Trini turned her head and said "Yellow Ranger here," before she looked away again, deep in thought.

"I'm the Pink Ranger," Kimberly said with a raise of her hand before she too entered a deep thought.

"I'm the Blue Ranger," Billy said before he motioned to Katherine and said "And she's the Violet Ranger."

"Violet? A new one," Jamie noted.

"Yes. There is also another ranger from the future," Grace added. "I do not know her color however."

"Whoa…I guess Zordon really learned from his mistake with us," Jamie said with a smile.

Grace's small smile faded into a deep frown. "Hm…" was her only reply.

Jamie then looked to Rocky and Ashley and said "And you two must be Rocky DeSantos and Ashley Hammond, right?"

"Right," Rocky said cheerfully.

"That's us…" Ashley drifted off with a confused tone.

"Hmmm, here are the other ones?" Jamie asked Grace curiously.

"I had not spoken to them yet dear," Grace said quickly. "But I will. Right now, I wanted you here because while Zordon has learned from his mistakes, he still has not told them about us…his failures…."

"Oh…I see," Jamie said, her good mood dimming slightly before brightening up again. "Then let's tell them."

"Wait, if this is official ranger business…Why are we here?" Rocky asked.

"Because this will pertain to the two of you as well," Grace replied.

"What do you mean by that?" Katherine asked.

There was no answer.

"Well, let's start at the beginning," Grace said. "In 1869, a warrior named Psycho Green was sent to awaken Rita Repulsa. Zordon shot him down but he survived. In 1969, during the first moon landing, it reawakened him. Desperate, Zordon plucked me, Jamie and 3 others to make a makeshift team to stop it."

"Who were they?" Billy asked.

"Well there was me, I worked as the secretary at NASADA, Jamie, who, as Zack gushed over, was the lead of the Familiars. Terona Washington, he was a wounded soldier that had just returned from the Vietnam war. Daniel O'Halloran, a simple college student who opposed war," Grace said.

"That must've been fun for Terona," Trini quipped dryly.

"Trust me, it was as fun in person," Jamie replied.

"And last but not least, there was Nikolai Chukarin, a KGB intelligence analyst," Grace finished.

"Quite the rag-tag team," Jason noted. "You all had nothing in common."

"Which begs the question why Zordon chose us…but I digress," Grace said. "He summoned us, told the situation and we all accepted. We knew it could be dangerous but we didn't know how bad it would get."

"Yeah…" Jamie said with a shudder. "When we arrived to the moon, it was breathtaking. Especially for Gracie. She longed to be on the moon but as you all know, back then…sexism was rampant and they really didn't want her to do anything with that mission, despite her being very qualified for it. Well jokes on them of course."

Grace allowed a small smile. "It was beautiful…I had achieved my dream in an instant and it was every bit as wonderful…But it wasn't to last. We split up. Jamie, Daniel and I were going to try and locate Rita's prison while Nikolai and Terona stayed back for recon. Unfortunately, Psycho Green appeared. He hit Nikolai so hard, he would have gone into space had I not caught him…"

"So you guys fought him?" Billy asked.

"We did but things went terrible," Jamie said. "He managed to get me to the ground and was going to crush me under a boulder but Terona kicked me out of the way and…He was crushed to death. Daniel's visor was cracked and he choked to death. Grace, Nikolai and I were able to bring together our weapons someone to form this sort of blaster but instead of killing him, it only made him stronger…"

"Wait, you guys didn't have martial arts training?" Kimberly asked.

"No…None at all," Grace said bitterly. "If we did, we would have stood a better chance…."

"So you guys didn't know each other and were thrown into what was an unwinnable situation and before that, Terona and Daniel were at each other's throats? That doesn't like Zordon to choose that…"

"To be fair to Zordon, I hated Zack but I was able to keep it buried deep because of my friendship with you guys," Trini said.

"But we all still worked together like a cohesive united," Zack countered. "No offense to your team Grace but there was no synergy."

"Yes, I know…" Grace replied bitterly. "We retreated into a palace-"

"A palace…on the moon?" Katherine asked.

"Weird I know," Grace said. "But yes. We retreated there and we found a defense cannon that I am 99.99% sure was the cannon used to shoot down that monster's ship in the first place. There was some damage on it and because of that, one of us would stay behind to fire it. Nikolai took that bullet. He sacrificed his life to kill that monster just as it was swallowing him up…"

Grace's face then turned bitter and angry as she said "Zordon sent us to hell that took our comrades lives…And when we told him this, he merely apologized, told us the world was safe when it clearly wasn't then took the powers back and told us to leave."

Jason was stunned by this and from the looks, so was his team, along with Rocky and Ashley. "He just dismissed you?" Ashley asked. "Without any thanks?"

"Yeah. Our job was done. I will bring back the mangled remains of your comrades. Give me the coins and see yourself out," Grace said angrily. "We fought for the Earth, put our lives at risk and for what? A pat on the back…He didn't care about the emotional damage he caused on both of us. He didn't care about the pain Jamie went through. The nightmares, the tears, the breakdowns…But what hurt most was that I made a promise to Nikolai to make the world worth saving and with those powers, we could have put an end to all the endless strife but no…He decided to hit away…."

"Grace…" Jason whispered. It sounded so unlike Zordon to be so careless and callous…And yet there was something that held him back from defending their mentor. There was a lot of anger and hurt coming from Grace and knowing her side made him understand and agree with it.

"Zordon let you guys down…." Jason said after a moment of silence.

"He didn't just let us down," Grace said. "He let the world down. For someone who is so keen on saving it from outside forces, he brushes aside the inside threats. The fucking Vietnam War was still going on at the time and that's just the war we know about! He could be helping so many lives and yet he just hides away!"

"Gracie," Jamie tenderly said as she touched Grace's hand. Grace shut her eyes and took a deep breath. "Breathe my love, its ok," Jamie told her as she placed her hands on Grace's face. Grace took a deep breath and nodded and Jamie placed a small kiss on her forehead.

"I am sorry guys, this subject is a tough one for her," Jamie said.

"It's cool but all things considered, all of you are badass," Rocky said.

"Seriously Rocky?" Kimberly asked.

"No, I agree with Rocky," Zack replied in agreement. "You guys saved the world back then with no experience. No help, no backup. You guys went into the danger zone and did all you could to protect the world. That is the most badass thing I've ever heard."

Jason smiled at Zack and Rocky before he stood up to face Grace.

He had listened to the entire story and he finally knew what to say. "Grace…Zordon made a mistake," Jason began. "A mistake that cost the lives of three good men and left lingering damage on you and Jamie as well."

"Okay, I'm with you so far," Grace said with a curious tone.

"He was too rash in choosing you guys. He threw you in the deep end and callously dismissed you and I can't defend that and I will personally bring that up to him myself. With that said, he did choose wisely in one aspect," Jason said with a small grin.

Grace seemed surprised by his words.

"Grace. You walked into hell against Swan Song with no hesitation and fought along my team and SPD. You, with no experience, led a team against a dangerous foe without any hesitation and fought to save the world and three died to protect it. Zordon failed in a lot of ways but the bravery you, Jamie and your friends showed says he did choose right in that regard. It is that same bravery that we had when we stepped up to become rangers and it's the same bravery that has carried us to this point."

Jason held out his hand to her and said "You have some damage that Zordon caused and as much as we look to him as a mentor, you have every right to hold on to that anger. But as the leader of his rangers, I want to thank you, Jamie, Nikolai, Tenora and Daniel for what you all did that day. You gave us a world that we can continue to protect. It'll never be enough for the pain you and Jamie endured but I somehow, someway, I will find a way to repay you all for this…"

The room was quiet as Jason stood there with his hand out. He could see an unknown emotion in Grace's eyes before a small grin appeared on her face and slowly, her hand clasped his. Grace chuckled and said "It's funny. Nikolai's final words were "We will save the Earth today Grace, make sure it's worth saving" and here you are echoing his words. Zordon and I will always have bad blood but you and your ranger team will always be welcome allies."

"As will you Grace," Jason said with a smile.

"I'm glad. Because now there is work to be done," Grace said as she removed her hand. "I created Promethea and SkyForce labs to keep my promise to my fallen comrades to make this planet worth saving. While I know your heart and the heart of your teammates lie solely on protecting this world, I also know that Zordon cannot be trusted. Therefore, I will say this to all of you. I am creating my own ranger team."

"We had a feeling," Jason said as the rest of the rangers stood up behind him.

"I originally was going to ask if you six wanted to become my ranger team. However, I realized that this would be a mistake. Despite his failure, there is loyalty and you six have become beacons of light to Angel Grove. Therefore, I will not force you six to choose nor will I drive you six to leave that life. Instead, I will be crafting my own team." Grace.

It was then TJ, Cassie, Aisha, Adam and Tanya were ushered into the room with Katherine's parents behind them, each of them looking confused at why they were brought here.

"So Power Rangers, I want you six to meet my chosen. Rocky DeSantos, Ashley Hammond, along with Cassie Chan, Theodore Jay Johnson, Aisha Campbell, Adam Park and Tanya Sloan. You have all been chosen to become my Jetmen," Grace finished with a proud smile.

*Outro*
(Theme of Outro: Boogie Back)
