This is a new International Writing Collaboration which covers a lot of territory and several time zones since Robert lives on the East coast of the United States and Mistri.... well he lives all the way over in Australia, so as you can see it even covers two different hemispheres. This comes after Viva La Resistance and takes place shortly afterwards. Mistri owns Vadaei, [that's pronounced VAY-di-I,] the Phaedos Powers and their bearers, Mistri, Geneva, Calcia, Edy, Asharani, Karei, Vedi, Dalila and Bambi.

Ah a nice quiet day at the Youth Center. Kim Coltran working away behind the bar with Ernie, some of the various Rangers doing various activities around the room from Tommy, Jason and Mistri sparring to Kim Hart practicing her gymnastics and Zack listening to his boombox while doing something that was a combination of street dancing and a Martial Art. Billy, his Cousin Janet, her friend Tyra, along with Trini, Kendrix, and Ashley were sitting at a table discussing something.
"Tyra, what will you do about the baby after it's born?" Kendrix wondered.
"I'm not sure yet Kendrix, I'm just glad that from what the Professor said my baby will be protected when we morph," Tyra said.
"I checked some of the archives I found and you are in a very unique position Tyra. No one else has ever been in your position by holding a power while also carrying a child," Kendrix added.
"It will prove interesting to see how things turn out," Tyra said as Edy and Karei sat down. Edy was busy as she glanced at the Yellow Demona Ranger a girl brave enough to be a ranger while pregnant. Edy also thought about the rape that she herself had endured before joining the resistance.
Just as Karei was sitting down Trini looked up as two local punks known as Bulk and Skull walked in. Bulk headed for the Bar and Skull headed right for them.
"Trini, how about we you know you me under the stars on a moonlit night?" Skull inquired.
"Nice try Skull but no," Trini replied.
"What about you Edy?" Skull said.
"In your dreams Skull," Edy said. "No bothering Kim Hart either Skull."
In fact Skull was heading that way only to fall victim to a kick in the head as Mistri was getting ready to go after Jason. Bulk meanwhile was getting impatient as Kim Coltran and Ernie were trying to ignore him.
"Hey how about a little service here," Bulk said.
"Not after that greeting Bulk. All you seem to do is show up here and cause trouble. You and Skull both," Ernie said as Skull headed for a reddish blond haired girl off to one side after he had recovered from the kick Mistri gave him. The girl was studying with a real nice African American girl.
"Ladies," purred Skull. "How about one of you, and one of me, lying under the stars?"
"Screw you, Skull," said the blonde. Zack came over, and draped an arm over the African American.
"Angela, he bothering you?" he asked.
"Yes, he is," spat Angela. Zack raised his eyebrows at her. Over at the table, Edy grew paler and paler as a male walked in. Trini noticed.
"What's wrong?" she asked, gently. Edy whispered to her...
July 23rd, 1992.Edy was walking back up towards her house, when she was accosted by a man. He took her to his car, explaining he was a friend of her father's, and her father needed to see her.
But however, the man took her to a nearby park. Edy grew nervous, wondering what was going on, and soon had her answer. He had a gun pointed at her, and she was roughly manhandled towards a grove of trees....
"..... and he kept calling me names....."
"Take your clothes off!" he demanded. Edy looked at him in stunned horror. "Are you worth a bullet, bitch?" Edy still stood there, and the man just ripped her clothes off, savagely hitting her for not doing it herself. She screamed as the man pushed her to the ground, only to receive a blow to the head. After the man had broken her hymen, he asked, "Did you enjoy it?""NO!" Edy yelled. The man hit her again, and said, "Well, seems you need more."
"....he raped me..... so many times.... I lost count.... When he had..... gotten the responses he wanted from..... my body..... he," Edy was trembling, almost forcing each word out.
"Then he forced.... me to perform..... oral sex... and then he...... did the last thing...... he could do.. And then..... he continued.... saying he.... wasn't going.... to stop until... I.... begged for more....."
"In the end, I had to. So he would stop," said Edy, her eyes downcast.
"You want more?" the man asked, smirking. "Okay." And with that, he slammed back into her.
Trini leapt into action as soon as Edy was done. Meanwhile, Edy remembered....
And stopped as she wasn't quite sure of what to do. Luckily, Jason's father came in and he was a cop. Trini told him and he quietly went over to the man.
"Excuse me, what's your name?" asked Officer Scott.
"My name is Christopher Jameson." Officer Scott raised his eyebrows.
"Well, Mr. Jameson, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent...." Christopher was silent as he was led away. Then a strange seven tone melody sounded. Fourteen faces grew blank, and with several hurried excuses, they made their way out of the Youth Center.

Up on the moon, there was a hasty meeting for the division of the UAE stationed on Earth.
"Those forty six brats got the morphers!" ranted Rita. Zedd patted her arm.
"Calm down dear. It's not like they have much else," he said.
"Wrong," said Vadaei. "The Phaedosian Powers are something else. They're based on the art of the Ninjetti. That means, that the Phaedos have access to Zords. Plus, their power strength is something like 3.98462 times the strength of the Ninjetti power. The Ninjetti power strength is -"
"15.8375839 times the power strength of normal Ranger powers," everyone chorused. "We know."
"What do you suggest we do?" asked Vadaei, her voice dangerously low. "We cannot have a planet slip from our control."
"What if we turn them to our side?" asked Mechinack.
"They are too honourable. What we need is a human who hasn't been fighting against us. Beside, that she-devil of a witch Dulcea put a spell on the Phaedos Rangers so they couldn't be used for evil. That spell will never wear off, and bad news is that it seems to be rubbing off on the others."
"What will we do?" asked Machina.
"What can we do?" shot back Vadaei.
~*~
Once outside, the fourteen Rangers went to a secluded area, and pulled out their morphers.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"
"DRAGONZORD!"
"MASTODON!"
"PTERODACTYL!"
"TRICERATOPS!"
"SABERTOOTHED TIGER!"
"TYRANNOSAURUS!"
"PHAEDOS NOVAONE ACTIVATE!"
"PHAEDOS NOVAFOUR ACTIVATE!"
"PHAEDOS NOVASIX ACTIVATE!"
"LET'S ROCKET!"
"GO GALATIC!"
"DEMONA RANGER POWER!"
It was something of a minor annoyance that for the time being they needed to morph to teleport to the Power Chamber. But nothing happened.
"Something's wrong," said Jason.
"NINJETTI! HAWK!" Instantly Mistri was garbed in the uniform of the Ninjetti, with a coin bearing the insignia of the Hawk in his chest. Concentrating, he teleported them all to the Power Chamber.
There they encountered the other Rangers, and all the Phaedos Rangers were Ninjetti morphed. They demorphed. "What the hell happened?" asked Jason, worried.
"It appears that there is something wrong - "
"I know what it is," said Dalila. "It's because we were enspelled by Dulcea, and she is, after all the Guardian of the Ninjetti Temple. So we can morph into Ninjetti -"
"Very true," said Mistri. Then in a blazing white aura, a blindingly white flash echoed throughout the Power Chamber. "You should be able to morph."
"Well. What is the UAE doing?" asked Barakus.
"I'm not quite sure?" questioned Dimitria. "Will you not observe the Viewing Globe?"
Billy and Janet suddenly burst into laughter. "We did it cuz!" shouted Billy. Janet was holding a cardboard box. "This," said Billy, "is some of Janet's and mine finest work."
"These are our - well, we can name 'em later." She held up a rectangular shaped box like thing. 1.8 inches wide, 4.3 inches long, and 0.8 inches thick, it looked pretty much like a mobile.
Karei pointed this out. "Easier to look normal," said Janet. She tossed everyone one. As they caught them, they changed from ivory to their respective Ranger colours.
"Okay. These should allow you to access the databanks, initiate voice only or video and voice conversations with us or Dimitria and Alpha 6. And teleport too." Billy tossed everyone a bundle that they recognised as the equipment for hands free on mobiles.
"You know, I doubt they'd be pleased if they knew what you'd done," said Sasha.
"Screw it Stanton," said Janet, good-naturedly.
Suddenly, the alarms began to blare, and the Rangers' eyes turned to the Viewing Globe. They saw quite a few foot soldiers having fun tearing up a few houses.
"Well, who wants to handle it?" asked Jason.
"Should you not first analyze the opponent to see which would be best?" Dimitria wondered.
"I'm not sure we have the time. We will have to hope for the best," Jason said.
"Well I see a squad of Z Putties, a couple Tengas, a platoon at least of Cogs, another squad of Quantrons, a few Gearheads maybe a company of those, another squad of Sting Wingers, a platoon of Batlings and the last ones I have no idea," Alpha said.
"Better go full Platoon," Sue said.
"Agreed," Mistri said.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"
"DRAGONZORD!"
"MASTODON!"
"PTERODACTYL!"
"TRICERATOPS!"
"SABERTOOTHED TIGER!"
"TYRANNOSAURUS!"
"ZEONIZE!"
"ZEO RANGER ONE PINK!"
"ZEO RANGER TWO YELLOW!"
"ZEO RANGER THREE BLUE!"
"ZEO RANGER FOUR GREEN!"
"ZEO RANGER FIVE RED!"
"PHAEDOS NOVA ACTIVATE!"
"LET'S ROCKET!"
"GO GALACTIC!"
"LIGHTSPEED RESCUE!"
"DEMONA RANGER POWER!"
The Rangers then went into action the Morphing Rangers going after the Z Putties and as best they could against the Tengas, the Zeo Rangers taking on the Cogs, the Quantrons going up against the Astro Rangers, the Galaxy Rangers keeping the Sting Wingers at bay, the Phaedosians were up against the strange ones that Alpha didn't recognize and the Demona Rangers went against the Gearheads. Meanwhile the Lightspeed Rangers went up against the Batlings.
After ten minutes Sasha commented to Brianca.
"Boy it seems as if these things are outnumbered."
"What do you mean Sasha, there are about 175 of them and nine of us. They have a 19.4repeat advantage over us," Tyra said.
"Yeah but they aren't too hard to defeat. Now Mistri and his team have it difficult look at how those things keep changing form whenever they cut into them. It's driving me up the wall."
"Look at it this way Sasha, your hair is out of the way when you are morphed," Sean snickered.
"Tell me about it," Sasha agreed.
"Hey how about a little help here," Trini said as a Tenga sat down on her pinning her to the ground. Kelsey and Dana quickly came to her aid.
"Red Council," Mistri growled.
Jason, David, Sue, Andros, Leo, Carter, and Vedi came running up.
"What's up Mistri?" Vedi wondered.
"We are way outnumbered here. I was wondering if we should regroup at the Chamber. Figure things out while we have a chance."
"I'm not sure we have time Mistri," Vedi said.
"We'll have to make time Vedi, after all Jason wasn't sure we had time to quantify all those foot soldiers yet Alpha did it. Mistri, what is the scoop with those weird ones your team got stuck with they seem to be constantly changing appearance?" David wondered.
"Not sure David. I've never seen them before. They almost seem to draw off of Ninjetti," Mistri replied. "They are definitely strange looking."
"Sue, you think your Grandfather the goofy professor knows what they are?" Vedi wondered.
"I don't know if either one can help us. The Professor is an old friend of my grandfather How they met I don't know."
"Hey guys you going to fight or talk?" Tyra wondered as she smashed a couple Gearheads together.
"Tyra is right we better get back in the game well so to Speak," Mistri said.
The battle went on for two hours by which time the Z Putties were long gone, the Tenga's had flown the coop, and most of the others except for maybe a squad of Gearheads and a few of the strange ones were gone. After a few minutes they bugged out. The Rangers then teleported to the Chamber. After they demorphed Dana started treating what few injuries there were. She spent the most time with Tyra.
"Well things look to be in good shape thankfully," Dana said.
"Good to hear Dana," Tyra said as she went into the Cafeteria where she saw the Pink Phaedosian Ranger off to one side waving her over.
"Edy from listening to your story earlier I assume you didn't end up pregnant," Tyra said.
"Come on Tyra I was twelve years old. How many girls have you known of to end up pregnant at that age?"
"None I guess. The youngest girl I knew of was fourteen only she miscarried," Tyra said concern creeping into her voice.
"Hoping your pregnancy doesn't end up that way huh?" Edy commented.
"Actually I am since I'm looking forward to motherhood. Motherhood wasn't my plan prior to my becoming pregnant but I realized after I found out I was pregnant that I did want the baby . "
"Well, how far along are you?" Edy asked.
"2 months, give or take." The girls separated then.
~*~
That night, they all spent the night transferring what little possessions they had to the Power Chamber.
"This is a way better base than the warehouse," Sue was heard to say.
"You know it, Collington!" yelled back Barakus.
The next day at six, they all met up.
Kim Coltran stood up. "I propose that we elect a Ranger Council. This way, I think we may be better organised than before."
"I second the motion," said Billy.
"I third the motion," said Andros.
"All those in favour?" asked Kim.
"Aye!"
"All opposed?"
Noone spoke. "Good. I nominate Jason, David, Mistri, Andros, Leo, Carter, and Sue to this council," said Trini.
"I also nominate all second in command to this council as well," said Sue. "That would be, Tommy, Adam, Karei, TJ, Kai, Dana and Kim Coltran."
"Aye!"
"First order of business. We want to kick the guys out of Earth and the other planets. Second. How do we do that?" said Barakus.
Dimitria looked at the Rangers. "Rangers? Would not the best thing to do be figure out what you will use for Zords?"
Forty-six identical blank looks were directed at her.
"And are Zords not the typical assault vechicle for fighting Goldar and such when monster-sized?"
"Right," said Mistri, having no clue whatsoever what she was talking about. Alpha pressed a button, and their eyes swivelled to the projection.
Zords are assault vechicles used against the forces of evil when they have supersized their monsters. Every Ranger Power comes with Zords. But the most sought after are the Zords of the Ninjetti.
"Well. How do we get these.. Zords?" asked Jason. Then a resounding voice swept through the Chamber.
"Jason. Tommy will call the DragonZord from the sea. Kim will take the Pteradactyl from Mt Vesuvius. Trini will summon the Sabertoothed Tiger from Africa. Billy, the Triceratops from the Sahara, Jason, the mighty Tyrannosaurus from the San Andreas fault, Zack the fierce Mastodon from the Arctic. That's it for the Morphing Rangers. Zeo your powers come with the mighty Zeo Zords. Kat, yours is Zeo Zord 1, Tanya, Zeo Zord 2. Both are Artillery Zords, Rocky you have Zeo Zord 3 based on a Sphinx, Adam Zeo Zord 4 is based on a Bull. These two Zords help Zeo Zords One and Two reach the battle scene since they lack their own propulsion. David, your Zord Zeo Zord 5 is based on the mystical Phoenix," Alpha said.
"What about the rest of us?" Leo wondered.
"I'm getting there Leo. Andros, your team has an impressive Array. Starting off is the Astro Megaship. It's capable of forming the Astro Megazord. If that isn't enough you also have the Delta Megazord which can combine with the Astro Megazord to form the AstroDelta Megazord. For more firepower or when you need to spread out you have access to the Mega V Zords. Zhane not to worry you weren't left out. You would be controlling the Mega Winger."
"Cool," Zhane said.
"Leo, you and the Galaxy Rangers have control of the Galactabeasts. For you Leo, it's the Lion Galactabeast, Kai, the Gorilla Galactabeast, Kendrix, the Wildcat, Maya, Wolf, and Damon you have the Condor Galactabeast," Alpha said.
"Beasts I want zords," Leo growled.
"Calm down Leo the Galactabeasts have the ability to become the Galactazords using your Transdaggers," Alpha said "Humans I'll never figure them out." He threw his arms up in despair.
"Ok. Now for the Lightspeed Rangers," Alpha said. "Another impressive display. Starting out you have your Rail Rescues which can form the SuperTrain Megazord. Your Rail Rescues also can carry into battle either your Rescue Zords. Pyro Rescue 1, Hydro Rescue2, Air Rescue 3, Haz Rescue 4, or Med Rescue 5 which can form the LightSpeed Megazord, or your Omegazords which form the Omega Megazord. Ryan, your zord the Max Solarzord is capable of combining with the Lightspeed Megazord to form the Lightspeed Solarzord."
"Seems like most of our zords would stick out like a hand full of sore thumbs," Dana commented.
"True but just wait until I get Air Rescue 3 into the Air. Robo Dude, my zord can fly right after all I am the Sky Cowboy," Joel said.
"Your zord is flight capable Joel not to worry. Of course you would be joined in the air by the Air Zord Strike Eagle Zord, Rotorzord, and Chop Zord. The Airzord is controlled by Tyra, the Strike Eagle Zord, Kim Coltran, the Rotorzord is Sasha's and the Chopzord is Janet's."
"What about the rest of the Demona Rangers? Also why do our zords look like military hardware?" Sean wondered.
"Sean, your zord is the Tankzord, Sue has the Commandzord, and Brianca the Emplacerzord. Andrew you and Barakus control the Demona Navy, Barakus's is the Subzord and Andrew yours is the Carrierzord."
"What do we have for Megazords?" Sue wondered.
"Well the main MegaZord is the Demona MegaBattleZord. The lLegs are the Tankzord, the chest the Commandzord which houses the Control Room. The back and head are from the Airzord, one leg is the Emplacerzord and the other the Rotorzord, the Strike Eagle Zord and the Subzord are capable of forming their own Megazords. Janet, your zord works independently of the others and Andrew well due to it's size your zord is incapable to joining with the others at this time," Alpha said. "The nice thing is the Carrierzord acts as a conveyance to bring the Airzord, the Strike Eaglezord, the Rotorzord and the Chopzord into battle."
"That just leaves the Phaedosian team," Geneva the youngest ranger in the Resistance said.
"You have your zords. Your zords are based on your Ninjetti Spirit Animals."
The meeting then broke up with the Rangers going about their normal business which meant Kim had to return to work.
~*~
Later that evening Tyra and Zack were watching a movie in their quarters.
"This is a first class movie Tyra. Why can't they have movies this good in the theater?"
"Why so you can fail to take Angela due to her turning you down for a date. One thing is for sure Zack my kid will not be watching anything like this if I have anything to say about it and being this is a made for TV movie I will have plenty to say on that one."
"I'm getting there. It will take a little time. The Zackman just hasn't put on enough charm yet."
"Zack, the day you get Angela to go out with you will probably be a miracle."
"I will don't worry Tyra."
A knock then appeared Zack took the time to answer it.
"Oh hi Zack, I wanted to talk to Tyra alone," Edy said.
"Ok I'll be around somewhere," Zaxck said as he headed out.
"Something bugging you Edy? If so Karei might be a better choice," Tyra said.
"This isn't the kind of thing I'd want to discuss with her. I was wondering when the first time you did It was?"
"Not quite as young as you Edy in fact I was seventeen the first time I did It. My partner and I were always careful yet even when you are careful things do happen. When that happens you just have to weigh your options and see which one is best."
"Thankfully our quarters have separate bedrooms for each person since I can't picture doing It with David."
"Of course some couples are actual dating couples so it could get interesting."
Zack meanwhile had gone into the common lounge where only Mistri was in residence on one of the couches.
"Hey Zack what's up?"
"Edy and Tyra are talking and I was booted. Before that Tyra was picking on me about Angela."
"Well your track record with her isn't the best Zack."
"I know. It will really prove interesting after Tyra has her kid that's for sure. What we need here is a good Dance Area where I can practice my Hip Hop Kido."
"Is that what you call that Martial Art you follow with all the blaring music."
"Of course Mistri. I thought you knew that one."
"We definitely need to work on things. We don't even have a decent area to spar or train for that matter."
"At least we have a first class Paramedic around for emergencies. Who did Dana end up with anyways?"
"Carter," Mistri said.
"Man those firefighters always get the girls."
"Not just the firefighters. Joel Green Lightspeed thinks himself a regular heartthrob. I stopped by his and Calcia's room and he was sitting at the table in their room autographing a whole stack of his Sky Cowboy publicity photos."
"Maybe I should ask him about how to get Angela to date me."
"His track record isn't the best. He's been trying to get a date with this scientist that works with Ryan and Dana's dad and well so far he hasn't had any luck."
"Oh man," Zack cried.
Edy at that moment walked by .
"All yours Zack," she said.
Zack waved, and said, "Tyra said a little earlier it'd be a miracle if I got Angela to go out with me."
"Well, Zack. It's been three years, coming up for the fourth year we've been fighting, and you and Joel just haven't opened your eyes yet I guess."
"What do you mean?" asked Zack suspiciously.
"I mean that maybe what you're looking for is right in front of you." Vedi happened to walk by and she came and plonked down in Mistri's lap.
"Hey Veed," said Mistri softly. Vedi rolled her eyes at the nickname. She snuggled up closer.
Zack excused himself, and went to try to find Joel. Maybe he might know what Mistri was talking about.
~*~
After some time, the Phaedosian warriors joined up together, and teleported to Phaedos, giving no notice.
Five minutes after they had left, Carter called a meeting. He usually ran things so they wouldn't get out of hand. He wouldn't say that he was the head, he was just some sort of facilitator.
"Where's Phaedos?" he asked. Everyone shrugged. Carter groaned.
"Okay. Now, there have been inquiries as to where sparring, dance, swim and gymnastics facilities are located. Dimitria says that they're located one level down, accessible by the elevator that everyone overlooked."
"She doesn't know exactly where, not having time to familiarise herself here yet. So whenever you want, you can go find 'em."
The Phaedosian team teleported in, carrying a small urn of something. They took their places.
