Ch 1

Note: I do not own, Power Rangers. If I did Tommy and Kim never would have broke up, worst decision in Power Rangers.

Pairings: Tommy and Kim, some Jason and Trini, oh and Rita and Zedd.

Note that this is going to be an AU of the Power Rangers series, mostly focusing on Tommy. Trust me when I say that the AU part of the story will be pretty obvious.

The change that is going to be made is that Tommy is the son of the Mystic Mother, Leanna, and her husband a powerful battle mage named, Alric.

Other minor changes are that Zedd and Rita are in the same capsule together, they are married, and Thrax has been born, but he won't make an appearance in this fic, maybe one of the sequels.

Also there will be no time travel taking place. I dislike it because it complicates the story to unimaginable levels, so any time travel or time alterations that appeared in Power Rangers, does not happen, with the exception of Time Force, because I don't feel right about eliminating an entire season.

Note that I am giving personalities to the powers that are related to animals. EX: dino powers, thunder zords, Ninjetti, etc. I will give names to the zords and the spirit animals as they come along. But powers like the Turbo and Zeo won't get any personality.

-Briarwood 1977-

"You want us to do what Zordon?" Leanna screeched out in complete shock at what the old entrapped wizard wanted her and Alric to do.

"I am serious, it has taken a long time for anyone to have reached a magical power that equals my own, but you have the power to purify Zedd and Rita." Zordon calmly explained.

"It's not that I doubt that I can do it, so much as I am going to have a baby in less than five months, and I do not want my child to be even in the presence of such evil." Leanna proclaimed. At that moment Alric had come in from the forest having just finished a training session with Leanbow earlier.

"What's going on dear?" Alric asked concerned, for she rarely got this angry, and all that anger probably wasn't good for the baby.

"Zordon wants us to go up to the moon and purge Rita and Zedd of their evil, turning them back into normal humans." Leanna explained slowly calming herself from her rant.

Alric turned to look at Zordon. "Why do this now? It will be better to wait until later like after our child is born." Alric questioned.

"Since man has reached out and has begun to explore the moon, I fear that it is only a matter of time before they find and release Rita and Zedd, along with all of their minions."

Alric let out a heavy sigh, seeing the reason in Zordon's plan, but still something inside of him was warning him that this was the wrong thing to do. But then again, if he helped his wife, then everything should work out alright.

"Honey, I think that we should do it, as long as I help you and we double check everything. If we do that, then we should be ok." Alric explained. Leanna quickly turned on him and fixed him with a hard stare. "I'm just saying that Zordon does make a lot of sense, if we can remove the evil from Zedd and Rita, then we can effectively nip the problem in the bud."

Leanna sighed, while she understood the plan, and would normally have gone along with without a second's hesitation. But now she had to worry about her child, and when it came down to it, one's child takes place over a future problem.

"I understand your concerns, but you must understand; if Rita and Zedd escape then they will declare a war of magic with you two. If that happens then you could very well end up like me. Leaving your child bereft of his or her parents." Zordon spoke, capturing the attention and glares of the magical couple.

"You play dirty Zordon. Very well we will remove the evil from Rita and Zedd." Leanna all but growled out.

"I am sorry that it had to come to this, but the sooner their evil is eliminated the safer the planet and your child will be."

"We shall get started. But it is going to take a few weeks to get everything ready." Alric said as he closed the link to Zordon. "It will be alright honey, we are stronger than any dark magic that they may throw at us, and besides; we work together and in tandem and they do not." He said soothing his wife, and rubbing circles across her back.

"I know. But I just don't want any of their evil to even come near to our child." Leanna said. Alric nodded in understanding as he continued to hold her.

-Two Weeks Later On the Moon-

As Alric and Leanna set up the purging circle around Rita and Zedd's prison they reviewed the plan that they had decided on. First they would set up a barrier around the space dumpster turned prison, that would allow only Rita and Zedd to leave the prison. And once they had stepped out they would walk directly into the center of a purging circle. And from there they would drain the evil out of Rita and Zedd, by using their powers in balance to keep the spell working. And once that was completed they will clash the duo's evil essence with their magic and slowly erode the evil into nothing. Finally they would return home, with hopefully two new apprentices.

Leanna placed the barrier around the prison, as her husband cracked the seal and released the two evil sorcerers.

"Finally after nearly ten thousand years we're free!" Rita exclaimed, throwing her hands up in joy.

"Yes my pet. But I wouldn't celebrate yet." Zedd declared as he helped his wife out of the capsule. "For it seems that we have visitors." Zedd stated as he looked towards Leanna and Alric, calling forth his staff, in preparation for some entertainment.

Rita gave a wicked grin as she called forth her wand and stepped forward unknowingly joining her husband in the purging circle. "Well it seems that we shall have some practice before we go after Zordon." Zedd nodded and raised his staff in tandem with Rita's wand, only to stumble, as he felt all of his evil, his hate, rage, and dark powers leave him in a blood red cloud, he looked over to his wife, to see the same was happening to her, with a violet storming cloud.

"NO!" They shouted as they struggled to pull their evil, and powers back into themselves. But they were fighting a losing battle, and soon collapsed in exhaustion.

"Alright Leanna it's time to start erasing the evil." Alric called out, confident in their success. Leanna nodded, but was suddenly feeling very tired, as her child was drawing more energy from her than usual. But she steeled herself and resolved to finish this task.

But there was one thing that no one, not Rita, Zedd, Alric, Leanna, or Zordon had taken into consideration. For the first time, the Dragon coin had chosen a partner, in the unborn child that Leanna carried within her. (1)

With that choice, the circle suddenly erupted in bright emerald green light as the Dragon marked the child as his partner. Unfortunately with the explosion of power that accompanied his choice, the balance of the spell was broken, and the evil of Rita and Zedd took their chance and rushed at and covered Alric and Leanna.

Inside the clouds, the evil of Zedd and Rita joined with Alric and Leanna, effectively reviving the legacy of Lord Zedd and Rita into new bodies. But as the evil surged through their bodies, the child of Leanna and Alric, now Rita and Zedd's, was also affected.

After the evil had finished bonding with Alric and Leanna, Rita suddenly realized that she was pregnant. "Ah Zeddy, it seems that the little magic duo that tried to do us in were going to have a child." Rita stated, as she felt the child within her writhe a little.

"Really?" Zedd asked in surprise. "So I guess that we are going to be parents again, but what is he going to be? A lovable evil brat like our Thrax, or is he going to be a goody-little two-shoes?" Zedd questioned already thinking of how he was going to raise his second son.

"How do you know it's going to be a boy?" Rita asked, as she tried to get a feel for the child's destiny, and attitude.

"Simple I used a spell; that this body knew, but didn't use." Rita nodded, grasping onto the fact that this couple wanted to be surprised.

Rita suddenly gasped in shock as she lifted her head to look at Zedd. "This child is balanced. He can use both sides of magic." Zedd looked at her in shock, knowing that it was exceedingly rare for anyone to be able to use both light and dark magic, with no effects on their psyche or body. The last person to wield both sides of magic was Malkier, but he had died over three thousand years ago, yet tales of what he did and his life were still told and remembered by all wielders of magic.

"He will be a great weapon. Our son shall help us bring about the greatest empire the universe has ever seen." Rita nodded, but turned around as she heard the sound of a flickering flame. Standing behind her stood Leanbow and his wife Udonna, armed with their staffs and sword ready for combat with the new dark mystics.

"He will not be a weapon. And he will never be your son." Leanbow said as he and Udonna prepared for combat.

"Are you sure you want to fight us, after all these bodies used to be your masters and mentors." Zedd proclaimed. Leanbow and Udonna stood strong.

"Maybe we should try a different approach, my dear." Rita exclaimed. "If you fight us you could injure the little baby boy, this nice lady was carrying." The witch said as she gestured to her body. Looking at each other the two mystics knew that she was right.

Zordon who was watching over the happening on the moon, decided to step in. "Leanbow, Udonna. We cannot harm them now, without the threat of harming the child. So I recommend that you place a time delay spell on them. So as soon as the child is born, we can again entrap Rita and Zedd in their prison."

Without a lot of options left the two mystics, with a heavy heart, did as suggested and placed the spell on the ones that used to be their masters. In response Rita and Zedd launched a blast of magic from there wands blowing away the two magicians.

"Stupid fools." Zedd growled. "Your spell didn't even do anything. Now prepare to die." At that moment Zordon teleported the two mystics and the evil purged bodies of Zedd and Rita away from the moon back to the command center.

"I am sorry you two, about the loss of your friends and masters. But at least we have a way to seal Rita and Zedd back into their prison."

"But Zordon," Udonna spoke, "what will happen to their son. That child is special."

"I know that, but as to what will happen to their son, I believe that you two could act as his guardians, until he comes of age." Zordon replied. The couple nodded in agreement silently promising to protect the child of the masters before standing to leave, taking the once Zedd and Rita with them back home, where they might be trained in the ways of good magic.

-Four months later-

Rita screamed as her son finally entered the world. After her child was washed and cleaned, she heard the doctor ask, "So what is his name?"

Zedd turned to look at his wife, knowing very well that they could not give the child either their name or his true parents name if they were to succeed with their plan. Rita spoke up, "He shall be called Thomas James Oliver." Rita suddenly got a strange look in eye as she saw what appeared to be a white falcon perched on her son's right shoulder, and upon his left shoulder stood a green dragon. "Our son is going to be very special." Rita told her husband as she handed her son to the doctor and leaned back to rest. Zedd nodded, knowing that his wife had seen something important about their son.

Zedd settled himself into his chair as he fell into a deep sleep, knowing that he and his wife were about to be returned to their prison. But before he fell asleep, he grinned, knowing that those pests wouldn't find his son, if not forever, then for a long time. In a flash Rita and Zedd were returned to their prison on the moon.

Leanbow and Udonna approached the hospital a few days later having been contacted as the child's god parents. But as they approached the cradle he was placed in, they felt a pulse of magic pass over them. Confused they walked towards him, only to realize that he wasn't there.

-California-

Upon the doorstep of an orphanage Tommy Oliver arrived in a swirl of green and white fire.

That is the end of the prologue. I had to get the opening started before I can move onto the cooler aspects of the series.

1) The Dragon coin has never chosen a person to bond and ally itself with. Its powers are unknown to Zordon and Rita both, but it is known to be the strongest of the power coins. Also I am making the powers sentient; each coin will choose its partner not Zordon.

Tommy will get to Angel Grove California, but it will be a roundabout way.
