"As I walked into the cave, I heard a strange sound," Andros was telling Zidron, "It was then I spotted the dimension rift. And out came Zyron and two of his monsters. What was weird though was when I fought them, Zyron fought like he knew my attack pattern. Like he was a Power Ranger himself."
Zidron sighed at the conclusion of Andros's speech.
"There's something you're not telling me isn't there?" asked Andros softly, not wanting to pry.
Zidron had his back to Andros, but he slowly turned toward him. "Andros, there is something that you do not know about him," said Zidron, "It's a long story. In Zyron's case it started six thousand years ago. Zyron, who once was Zharne, was the red power ranger that led his team to the capture of Ivan Ooze."
"I don't get it," said Andros, "If he was a ranger, what happened to him?"
Zidron pursed his lips and closed his eyes as if trying to block out a memory, he then said, "It was with the capture of Ivan Ooze, that the mastermind behind all of the evil forces we know was revealed to us as Dark Spectre. Zordon, who was alive at the time, had managed to find Dark Spectre's planet. He sent in Zharne and his team to destroy him, but things didn't go as planned. Instead the rangers ended up retreating, and, in a final effort to save his friends, Zharne held back Dark Spectre's forces so they could escape."
"What happened next?" asked Andros, shivering.
"I don't know in detail, but Zharne was mutated and his mind was corrupted by Dark Spectre," said Zidron. "He re-emerged as Zyron the conqueror only a few years later. It was then at this time Zordon took me in as his apprentice. He kept in constant contact with me when I was on Eltar. Zordon kept hope that one day he could find a way to bring Zharne back. So instead of destroying him, he sent him to the dark dimension known as 'The Vortex'. And it was with Zordon's death that the seal he had placed to the vortex was broken."
Andros banged his fists onto the control counsel before him, "I begged with him for me to not destroy him! And now look what I've done! I've sent another pyscho ranger to earth!"
"Andros calm yourself," Zidron said sofly. "Zordon knew this would happen. That's why I'm here now."
"I can get my old team together and fight," said Andros.
"No, I have a plan," said Zidron. "I will assemble a new team of rangers of my own choosing."
"Zidron, what source of energy will you use to power them?" asked Andros.
"This new command chamber we stand in produces far more energy than the original Power Chamber model," said Zidron, walking around admiring the control counsels. "Using the old design of coin morphers that drew their energy from the grid, I've constructed new more powerful ones called techno morphers. They draw their energy from this grid too, but instead of a coin it uses these small gems."
Andros gazed at five small gems that were all octagon-shaped, each one a different color. Red, Blue, Green, Pink, and White.
"Have you thought of what type of rangers they'll be called?" asked Andros. "I mean, because, I'm a space ranger. These guys, though, seem to have everything invested into technoledgy. What does that make them?"
"I was just thinking," said Zidron, "they'll be known as Power Rangers: Tech-Force."
"Sounds perfect," said Andros, smiling.
Suddenly an alarm in the chamber sounded, Andros and Zidron quickly activated the view screen into the city of Lunar Hills. A monster that appeared to be a warrior wasp was running around the city swinging a bladed staff and terrorizing the populace.
"I'll go on ahead," said Andros. "Gather this new tech-force team as quick as you can. I'll need their help."
"I will, and be careful," said Zidron.
"Let's Rocket!" Andros exclaimed as he activated his morpher. He was instantly transformed into the red space ranger. He quickly boarded his glider and was off to the city, while Zidron quickly got to work.
