Disclaimer: I don't own the Power Rangers, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or Charlie and the Chocolate factory.

Hi! I really loved the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I had even started a fic somewhat related to it over the summer. I'm hoping to be able to continue it. (And yes, I also intend to continue 'I Have a Sister' as well, I'm just a bit of a procrastinator.)

Being indecisive, I picked out the names of the Rangers who were to be in this story as main characters. Then I decided to let each Ranger have a part in this...even it was just a line. Therefore, they were added in whatever order I randomly picked their names from my pile of tiny papers. Did I mention that I hate making decisions:)

Ok, this first part may be a bit long or boring (I hope not.) I need to establish some kind of background to this story.

Zordon and the Power Chamber

Chapter One-Background Story

"Once there was a wise wizard named Zordon. He wasn't handsome or strong or at the very least free from gingivitis. However, he had been the guardian of many kinds of Ranger Powers, ranging from the Astro Ranger Powers to the Dinozord Ranger Powers to the Teletubbies Ranger Powers. All of his Rangers loved him and worshipped him. (Well, that's what his assistant, Alpha Five, led him to think by showing him strongly doctored scenes on his viewing globe).

"However, Zordon was a bit annoyed at the disruption to his Rangers' admiration by the likes of Lord Zedd, King Mondo, and Divatox. Those pests never stopped sending all their stupid monsters and growing them. His poor Rangers had to waste time in their Zords (another of Zordon's great, wise, creations) fighting monsters rather than spending their time staring in awe at him.

"Eventually, it got so bad he made a desperate agreement with the most despicable space villain of them all, Dark Spectre. He would be kidnapped and taken from Eltar. Zordon felt that this would cause his Rangers to worry about him and search for him rather than waste time with those stupid monsters.

"But, that plan backfired on him. The Rangers met monsters and other bizarre creatures on almost every planet they searched. Zordon still couldn't get the full attention he wanted. So, he decided it was time to leave. He convinced one of his more gullible Rangers that if his tube were destroyed that he'd be gone forever. But Zordon didn't let Andros know that he had stored just enough energy in his big head to keep him alive.

"Everyone mourned Zordon's 'death.' Some tried to make their own Ranger Powers. Others served as mentors in an attempt to emulate him, including a somnolent princess and a gerbil, or guinea pig, or something like that. But all that time, unbeknownst to all, Zordon had been busy. We know this because it has been reported that the Power Chamber has rebuilt itself a hundred times bigger than before. But the doors have been locked and teleportation has been blocked."

Trent looked up from his drawing as his father concluded his story. "Uh, yeah, thanks for the story, Dad. But I really don't see what it has to do with me. Dr. O. was the only one of us who even knew him. I would've preferred Hansel and Gretel tonight instead."

Anton looked up from the "Power Ranger and Associates" newsletter he had been reading. "Son, someday, the great Zordon will reopen his Power Chamber and allow others in. You have just as much chance of visiting as any other Ranger past or present."

Trent snorted. "Yeah, right. I'm sure he'd love to have an evil White Ranger in his midst. Or maybe he could also have a boneheaded main villain come as well."

Anton's face fell. "Was that necessary? I'm still in deep psychotherapy about that. Besides, didn't he accept other Rangers who had also fallen victims to evil spells?"

"Whatever," replied Trent as he put down his pencil. "I'm going to bed."
