Meanwhile Zack and Billy were having a great time in the garage, using the ring to make things disappear. They’d already erased six strawberries, a cracker, a pile of leaves, a broken trowel, and a half-eaten sandwich that had gone stale.

“This is so awesome,” Zack said, looking eagerly around the garage for more items to zap. “What else can we erase?”

“I’m reluctant to continue playing with the ring,” Billy told him, even though he was enjoying himself.

“Why?” Zack looked disappointed. “This ring is a blast. I didn’t know jewelry could be so fun.”

“It is fun,” Billy agreed, “but I don’t fully understand how the erasure ring functions, so that makes it more dangerous. Plus, I have no idea where these items are going. Are they disintegrating? Are they in an alternate dimension? Are they being transported somewhere, reappearing in a garage in Alaska? Or on a tugboat in Bangkok? I have yet to figure it out.” The Blue Ranger shook his head. “No matter how much I’m enjoying making things disappear with you, I think it’s wiser if I continue with my analysis of the ring to identify the source of its power and fully understand how it works. We need to know the ring’s potential.”

The Black Ranger looked like he wanted to protest, but then he changed his mind. “Yeah, all right,” he agreed. “You keep working on it, Billy. I should check in with Zordon and the rest of the team, anyway. I wonder if there’s any news.”

But before Zack had a chance to follow up on his words, his wrist communicator emitted six melodic beeps in a specific sequence. “It’s the Command Center,” he said to Billy before answering the call. “Zordon, it’s Zack. What’s happening?” he said into the device. “Did you figure out who is looking for this crazy ring and why?”

“Yes,” came Zordon’s deep, booming voice. He was an incredibly intelligent being from a distant galaxy who had been fighting Rita and her kind for centuries. But he’d been caught in a time warp and only appeared to the Power Rangers as a kind of blurry, floating head in a large glass cylinder housed at the Command Center, where he was tended to by his loyal robot, Alpha 5.

Zordon’s low, distinctive voice always came out a little distorted as he straddled the space-time continuum. “The ring belongs to Scorpina,” Zordon explained. “She has returned to Earth in quest of its return, and to finally achieve world domination for her old friend Rita Repulsa.”

“Scorpina?!” the Black Ranger exclaimed. That was a name he’d hoped never to hear again.

Billy looked up from his examination of the fascinating piece of jewelry.

“This is Scorpina’s?” he asked. Knitting his eyebrows together and giving the ring a closer look, he added, “Curious. What led you to that conclusion, Zordon? I see no markings of the scorpion in the ring’s design.”

“It was a gift from Rita. An exact copy of a ring that Scorpina lost during a battle many centuries ago,” Zordon explained.
