Paris*

Ladybug and Chat Noir were starting to get bored with these akuma attacks. Hawk Moth was obviously getting desperate as his victims powers seemed to be getting more and more ridiculous. Popper who shot balls of popcorn from his fists, Green Thumb who made fruits and vegetables come to life, Hair Tonic who could make hair grow at a rapid pace to name just a few. He was also attempting to reakumatize some of his former victims when they were having a bad day but since they were familiar with these badies already it made them that much easier to defeat due to familiarity. The only thing these attacks seemed to be accomplishing was causing annoyance because crazy as it was they were actually craving a challenge.

"I mean if we're going to be doing this as often as we are couldn't we at least get a minor adrenaline rush out of it?" Chat Noir groaned in boredom as Ladybug captured the latest akuma with her yo yo. He didn't even have to use his cataclysm power to win this time. "I love how often I'm getting to see you m'lady, but I'm actually starting to miss the action packed battles we usually got into last year," leaning against his staff as he looks into Ladybug's equally annoyed face.

"Bye bye little butterfly," said Ladybug with a much less cheery expression than she usually has when she purifies an akuma, satisfied with a job well done and saving the city of Paris. "Miraculous Ladybug," she shouted as she tossed her lucky charm, a fedora, into the air, but the only damage that needed to be repaired were a few broken windows and knocked over street signs. Nobody was even injured.

Plenty of people were still looking on and applauding as Ladybug and Chat Noir tended to the purified victim and explaining to him what had just happened. It was still nice to see how appreciated their efforts were to keep the city safe.

"I know it has started to get a little annoying lately with these recent akuma attacks, but at the end of the day our job is to save the city and protect the people no matter what," said Ladybug as the akumatized victim stood and walked off. "Although I do agree that it is starting to become more boring and a little excitement wouldn't be the worse thing in the world," she said giving her kitty a smile.

"Well since I didn't have to use my power that means I have all the time in the world if you wanted to get some ice cream together. Or maybe a candlelit dinner atop the Eiffel Tower bugaboo," Chat Noir said slyly as he spun his staff a few times and batted his eyebrows at her while she laughed it off, starting to find it amusing how he never seemed to give up his quest to take her on a date.

"As I've told you about a thousand times kitty I can't take you up on your offer, there's another boy that has my heart," she said flicking his bell as her earrings started to beep. "Besides I did use my power and only have about 4 minutes left, so bug out. Maybe you can invite Hawk Moth, I'm sure that would provide some of that action you've been hoping for," she winked launching her yo yo into the air and flying off through the city.

"One day m'lady, one day, I'll never give up," said Chat Noir smiling to himself, knowing that his heart could never give up his pursuit, he loved her too much.

"Curses Ladybug and Chat Noir, I swear one day things will change and I will have your Miraculous," Hawk Moth shouted to himself from his hideout as the window closed. "I know that one day I'll discover the method to defeat you, and when I do your Miraculous will be mine."

Earth 2 dimension*

Getting rid of the Green Ranger should have made defeating the rest of the Power Rangers easier, but those blasted teenagers just wouldn't lose and kept spoiling her plans to conquer Earth. Rita's latest monster had be sliced and diced by the Megazord just like dozens before and her headaches seemed to get worse every time she watched it happen.

"FINSTER, how is it possible that all of these so called horrible monsters of yours are so pathetic," she screamed at him as he stood next to his molding table. "I expect these monsters to destroy those Rangers but they all fail miserably."

"I am sorry my queen, I promise you that the next one will be better," said Finster for the what seemed like the five hundredth time since they started attacking Earth.

Rita raised her wand and pointed it at Finster.

"Finster you've said that every single time and it's never proven to be true even a little bit. Those Power Rangers should be destroyed and I should be ruling over that pathetic planet and those measly humans," Rita said looking down at Earth, infuriated that she couldn't get her grasp on it.

"Well my queen what if you were to try to rule a different Earth?" Finster suggested as he flipped through his monster recipe book.

"Oh, do say more," Rita said grinning maliciously as her attention had peaked.

"Well there is a monster I could make that has the power to travel between dimensions and timelines. It could take us to a place where the Power Rangers aren't and there would be nobody to stop your rule," said Finster as he pointed out the monster known as Space Piper.

Rita smiled at the delightfully evil looking monster in the picture.

"Not only is he exceptionally powerful, but by playing his pipe he can open a wormhole that will allow us to travel to a different timeline where there are no Power Rangers," he said picking up a handful of clay from his pot.

"Yes, make him Finster, and fast," said Rita turning to walk back to the balcony. "Enjoy your latest victory Power Rangers, for soon you will never be able to stop me again, AH HA HA HA HA HA," she laughed.

The next day the Power Rangers headed back to the park to resume their game of basketball that got interrupted the day before. Tommy may not be with them anymore and had taken a trip to get his mind off having to give his powers to Jason thanks to the green candle, but they still felt him in spirit with every fight and when they all hung out together after school.

"Ha ha, come on Jason, think you can stop this," said Zach showing off his slick ball handling dance moves as Jason chuckled while defending. Billy, Trini, and Kimberly chuckled under the basket too while Billy tried to get open from Trini. They were playing 2 on 2 with Kimberly sitting the round out.

"You may have the slick moves Zach but do you have the skill to actually score with them?" Jason challenged playfully as he kept his hands up shifting back and forth while Zach expertly danced with the ball

"Oh yeah," Zach sang as he turned his back to Jason. Swinging his leg over the ball while spinning he caught Jason by surprise by slamming the ball into the ground to bounce over his head. While Jason was distracted Zach did a backflip over Jason's head, grabbing the ball in midair and landing behind him. "Ha ha," Zach laughed quickly as he dashed towards the basket. Trini left guarding Billy to try to stop him but Zach smirked as he tossed the ball the the backboard. "All yours Billy," He called out as Trini watched the ball go over her head.

The ball hit off the backboard as Billy jumped up. Grabbing the ball as it fell he played it right back off the backboard and sank the easy layup.

"Nice one Zach, and that's game," said Billy high fiving his teammate while everyone else chuckled together like they always do whenever they all hang out.

"Well I don't know about you guys but I could really use a cold juice at Ernies," said Trini as she picked up the ball and bounced it a few times.

"No arguments from me, some air conditioning sounds really nice too," said Kimberly as she shielded her eyes from the warm sun shining down on them.

"All right let's do it then guys," said Jason as they all started to walk together out of the park to their usual hangout.

"FINSTER, IS IT READY YET?" Rita called impatiently. She was getting pretty anxious for this new monster to take them to a new location where she wouldn't have to deal with those pesky Power Rangers.

"Yes my queen, I'm just finishing it up now. Into the monster-matic with you now, ten seconds ought to do it," said Finster as he turned the wheel.

A loud horn sounded as the machine shook. Rita smiled evilly as it started to smoke and the end of the tube made a small explosion of smoke, spitting the Space Piper out of it.

"At your service my queen," the monster bowed with a pipe in it's right hand.

"Yes, with no Power Rangers to stop us you will finally be victorious my queen," Goldar said waving his sword.

"Exactly. Now Space Piper, open a portal and take us to a new dimension where there are no Power Rangers, AH HA HA HA HA HA," laughed Rita as the monster started to play his pipe.

The alarm in the power chamber started to sound as Zordon sensed danger about again with a small earthquake occurring from the Space Piper's power.

"Alpha, contact the Rangers at once, I sense Rita is up to another evil plan and this one is especially dangerous," the wise mage said, always seeming to know exactly what Rita is up to on the spot without any explanation.

"Ai yi yi yi yi Zordon, this can't be good," said Alpha as he pushed a button on the control panel to contact the Rangers.

The Rangers were all enjoying their juice and laughing among themselves as they shared stories of their family members due to the upcoming family tree week coming up where everyone at school would be sharing stories of their current family members and ancestors. As it usually does all too often their communicators started beeping signaling the end of their fun.

Beep beep be be beee beep*

They all looked around to see if anyone was paying any attention as they put their glasses down and exited into the deserted hallway.

"Come in Zordon," Jason said into his communicator as everyone huddled together.

"Rangers, you must teleport to the command center immediately, Rita is attempting a new plan and we must act fast to be able to stop her," Zordon said.

"We're on our way. All right guys let's go," Jason said to his team as they all hit their communicators, turning into beams of light that matched their respective powers and took off into the sky.

Paris*

Hawk Moth was focusing on the city, searching out those negative emotions to power his next akuma, but nobody seemed to have emotions strong enough to be worth the effort. All his recent efforts were so fruitful. The more Ladybug and Chat Noir saved Paris the more hope people had which were causing less and less negative emotions altogether in Paris

"Curses," Hawk Moth shouted to himself. There had to be someone out there that was worth enough to put up a fight against the superheros of Paris.

Before he could focus anymore the ground suddenly started to shake, causing dust to fall from the ceiling and the white akumas to fly off the ground and around the room.

"What's going on," Hawk Moth shouted as a huge wave of evil energy flowed into him. "This isn't a normal earthquake, and I feel such incredible evil all of a sudden, something is happening out there," he said suddenly excited, focusing intently with a smile on his face. "I must know what that is out there.

A flash of light and dark void had suddenly appeared atop the Montparnasse Tower. A few bolts of lightning stuck from the void as a huge glow of light shined. As it vanished there stood Rita and her minions looking over the city of Paris.

"AH HA HA HA HA HA, YESSSSSSS, a new place to conquer and no Power Rangers to stop me," Rita laughed evilly while her minions and monster joined in.

"Ahhhhhhhh, this is amazing, I've never felt such evil energy, I must explore this myself and see what is going on," Hawk Moth said to himself as he jumped out the window, following the source of the power, more intrigued than he'd been in a very long time.
