Welcome to Gaia! ::

The portal Serpenterra was using to get around from one universe to the next opened up for her. No more then a few minutes of being in this new universe did something again hit her. Sending Serpenterra spinning out of control for the second time.

"Oh come on, we just had her fixed up in the last universe." Zedd replied as he used his magic to keep everyone from flying around like the last time.

"I think I'm going to be sick." Serpenterra said as she tired up her right side thrustars to level herself out. "Might want to hold onto something." she said as she slammed into the ground and started to again slide down one of Angel Groves many streets. After a short while she came to a stop.

"Everyone ok?" Jason said looking to everyone on board.

"I'm just stuck, and a bit damaged but alright." Serpenterra replied.

~Elsewhere in Angel Grove~

"I'm not the only one that saw that was I." A very thin man asked from the makeshift guard tower.

"Nope I saw it too Skull." A heavy set man replied from the ground. "Think that Zordon b*****d might be doing one of his experiments again." he added as he let out a sigh. "Why don't you go and see what it's about

"Sure thing Bulkie." Skull said as he calmed down the ladder, running inside to grab a few things along with a few men for the trip to the crash sight. The group of seven stopped at the gate, two guards opened the metal gate, making sure to turn off the power to the fence. Once that was done the group exited and the gate along with the power back into place.

"Well your out see if our red friend left us any food at the store." Bulk said to Skull.

"Sure thing. Save me some of Ms. Appleby's home made cookies. You know how the kids are." Skull said looking at his best friend who nodded.

"I'll do my best." Bulk replied as the group headed of. 'Came back in once piece.' he thought sighing a bit as he turned from watching them to where his right arm would be

"Miss going out there don't you." A dark haired man said as he walked up next to Bulk. He wore a faded blue police uniform.

Bulk sighed as he nodded. "I'm just glad, they managed to save me. But yes I do miss being able to help. Can't really do much with only one arm. Besides I think Skull would freak out if I even tried to leave."

The man nodded. "He has become a bit over protective of you since the accident. Though I believe he blames himself for what happened, even if he won't say anything."

Bulk smiled as he nodded. "Need any help inside Lt. Stone?" he asked.

"How many times have I told you to call me Jerome?" Jerome replied as his blue eyes fall onto Bulk. "Why don't you go play with the kids."

Bulk nodded as he turned to head into the building. He caught himself looking up at it. 'To think if things hadn't done they way they had. I'd be just starting to go here to finish my schooling.' he thought as he looked at Angel Grove High. Which had been converted into a safe zone. Though they didn't know for how long.

~High in the mountains overlooking the city~

"I lost track of them." A soft male voice said from one of the computer conceals. "Think the four of them left along with Zordon and some of his forces." the voice continued before jumping down and walking over to the only other being in the room.

The taller of the two let out a long sigh as he listened. "What about the other disturbance?" he asked his voice ruff.

"Whatever it was crush landed in the heart of Angel Grove. Since we can't get in contact with the rangers. They might not know what to expect. I was able to find out that it's a spaceship in the form of a serpent."

"How many people are inside?"

"Twenty, Eight humans, six gaians, three Sirians, one Triforians, one full Eltarians, and one half Eltarian half Nimian."

"Can you try contacting them?"

"Right away big Z."

"Specter hit me again after exiting the dimension portal." Serpenterra said.

"I'm really sorry about what dad's doing." Moltira said as she sighed looking down shamefully.

"It's not your fault." Zedd said as he got to his feet. "his making it to where we can't follow them."

Jason nodded before looking over to what Mako was looking out. 'Oww damn.' he thought sighing a bit feeling sorry for Lucky. He opened his mouth to speak before hearing something that sounded like banging against the walls. "Whats going on outside?" He asked.

"Lizard men are attacking me. I've tried to tell them to stop. But they keep saying their food is inside." Serpenterra answered as she pulled up an image of what was going on outside.

"Oh god whats wrong with them?" Tatianya said as she covered her mouth. The creatures on the screen didn't seemed to be what they all had expected. Much of the scaly skin had fallen off, leaving their decaying muscles showing.

"Don't think their even fully alive anymore, or if they ever were." Alice said as she looked down.

"Scans show their all dead, but were reanimated using magic." Serpenterra said. "I'm unable to locate the planet they originated from."

"How many of them are out there?" Zordon asked.

"I'm detecting over eighty." Serpenterra replied.

"Great." Cathy said with a hit of sarcasm. 'Might not even make it past the door. Fenrir and Johnny won't have a problem. Not so sure about the rest of us. Though i know we'd all go down fighting.' she thought.

"How damaged are the weapons." Zedd asked.

"Fifty percent." Serpenterra answered. "Though if I use many of them the building around me might be damaged and trap us here farther." she said

"Look." Alice said pointing to the screen as the lizard men started to drop like flies. "Are their any human life signs outside?"

"Yes, but I'm having some problems figuring out how many."

"Agreed." Zedd said to Fenrir. "I hear gun fire. Think their being shot to death."

"Not a fan of zombies huh?" Jason said looking to Dawn a bit.

"Sure thing." Serpenterra replied before counting down the number of Lizard men that were left. Quickly going from eighty to zero. "Believe it might be safe to go outside now."

"Zedd goes first." Johnny said as he looked at him for a moment then checking out Omega. "Might have cracked a rib or something when we crashed, fur kind of makes it hard to see whats wrong."

"Why do I have to go first?" Zedd asked.

"Besides your the mission leader, you can't die duh." Alice replied with a giggle.

Zedd let out a long sigh as he rolled his eyes as he headed for the hatch, opening it manually he waited for the door to open full before taking a step forward only to be shot between the eyes "OH COME ON WHAT THE HELL." Zedd yelled as he tried to pull out the bullet.

Jason bite down to keep from screaming, as Dawn dug her claws into his chest. He did his best to calm himself down as he reached up and started to pet at the lump under his shirt he knew was Dawn. "It's ok." he said softly to her

"Fail." Tatianya said as she giggled a bit. "Though he really didn't give you much time to put one up anyway."

"Dude oww." Johnny said looking at the two new arms Omega was now sporting. "Really need to get you something that will tell you when this is about to happen."

"The zombies don't come out until sundown." a male voice said from where he was hiding.

"When that the hell do you call these things?" Zedd asked as he managed to find the bullet and pull it out of his head.

"Krypzards." the voice answered before a figure come out beside an over turned car. He was covered head to toe, in black clothes, with bits of body armor, on his chest, legs and arms, along with a custom made helmet. A MK-47 in his hands. "What is that?" he asked pointing at Serpenterra with his gun.

"Spaceship." Zedd answered, as he tried to figure out why the voice sounded familiar, as the gun was pointed back at him. "Now what?"

"You work for that b*****d." the men said as he was about to pull the trigger.

"Hey we're getting a transmission." Cathy said as she come out a bit with one hand over her head and the other with a PDA which she hands to Zedd.

"What are you doing?" Zedd asked as he took it from her.

"I don't want to get shot duh." She replied folding her arms a bit.

Zedd sighed a bit as he pushed a button on the table. the screen flickered a moment before an image appeared on it. A small orange cat that was standing on something with his back legs looked at him for a bit. "Hey it worked."

'What the hell is this?' Zedd thought as he looked at the cat who smiled.

"I'm an Leondiran. Names Talp." The cat said as he waved a bit. "You one of those on the spaceship that crushed right?" he asked before seeing Zedd nodded.

"Look really don't have time to chat. Have a gun pointed at me and my friends."

"Got seven weapons trained on you." Talp said. "The one in front of you, the other six are hiding with sniper rifles."

Cathy looked around a bit before pointing to different locations, as she looked to Zedd who nodded.

"She has a good eye, she pointed them all off correctly. The young man in front of you is from a group of survivers that are held up in Angel Grove High School."

"Who does he knew where we live?" the man asked as he was able to hear from where he was standing.

"A satellite." Talp answered.

"That would be the smell of death and decay." the man said lowering his weapon a bit as the other six members of his party showed themselves and walked over to him.

"Twelve years ago the Earth was attacked, and overun. Many of her people were taking up to the moon and experimented on. Before being returned to Earth. Each of those that had been experimented on slowly started to die, and turned into zombies." Talp said looking down rather sadly.

"They come out at night." the man said. "From what we've been told they search for those that have magic. Seeing as they had been experimented on with magic, even if they do get what their looking for their not going to change back, their all to far gone."

"Well Zedd's screwed." Cathy replied.

"Thats why he doesn't leave." Talp said. "He would talk with you himself, but his in the core trying to find where our enemies want off to."

Zedd blinked a few times as he looked at Talp. 'So I exist here. But I'm not the bad guy.' he thought a bit surprised. "Talp who is the villain here?" he asked

"Zordon." Talp replied

'So our roles reversed here.' Zedd thought. "Why did you contact us?" he asked.

"Big Z asked me too, Zordon has made it to where we can locate the our rangers, because of this we can't teleport them here." Talp replied. "We were hoping you could help us find them, but seeing as the sun is going to set soon. It might be best for you to go with the group from the school."

"Yeah thats going to be a good idea, one shot me in the head, and not all of us are human." Zedd replied. 'Doesn't help they'll attack Zordon the minute he walks out of Serpenterra.' he thought.

The man looked at them for a moment before leaning over to one of those with him. 'Go ahead and inform the group we have guest coming, and to not shot at the ones that don't look human, their friends.' he whispered. Nodding the other man ran off to do as he was asked. He then looked over to three of the others with him. "Go to the store and see if he left anything for us, there's a trunk parked in the back, use that to transport what you find back to base." The three nodded before heading off the other way.

Zedd sighed a bit. 'We'd be safer inside Serpenterra, but it's best to help those at the school.' he thought before relaying a message to Marlon and the others in the ship, though the mental link. 'We going to go with the group out here. Have Lucky stay and repair Serpenterra if he wishes. The suns going to set soon, so lets hurry this up.' he told them before adding. 'Commander Scott or Cranston can you tell who the man is speaking for the group from these world?'

'Skull.' they both replied.

Zedd nodded before placing himself on Fenrir's nose. "Should help block out the smell of the bodies of the dead."

"Do be careful." Serpenterra said as she closed the hatch though Moltria headed back inside as she was far to tired to be of any help to anyone.

Skull looked at everyone as they walked out, though he couldn't help by stare at Ursula. 'Who the hell did she fit in there.' he thought before shaking his head a bit. "Alright lets get a move on, really don't want to be out during when the sun goes down."

"Lead the way." Zedd said as he shut off the transmission from Talp and followed Skull. Their group was put in the middle while two armed man on either side of them, and Skull in the lead.

The two on the sides held their weapons trained on the buildings as they walk passed them. "If you have any weapons it's best to have them out." Skull said as he looked to Zedd.

"We'll keep that in mind." Zedd replied, half an hour passed as they walked along. The sun was just starting to set behind them. 'Great how much farther is it?' he thought before hearing a moan.

'Owww damn it Dawn.' Jason thought as she clawed dug deeper into his chest.

"It's to soon for them to start coming out the sun is still up." one of the other two guards said as they looked around.

"Not for the runners." Skull replied as he moved to put the gun behind his back. "Might want to run."

Zedd nodded to Fenrir about Dysis being safe. 'Maybe we should have brought Lucky after all. It's best to get the repairs down to her as quick as we can.' he thought as his staff appeared in his hands.

"Might not want to use magic." Zordon said from where he was sitting on Marlon's back along with those that had climbed up, or were helped up by Marlon. "Remember they feed on magic."

"Wasn't planning to attack them. Was going to help Chase keep the barrier up." Zedd answered.

"Heads up got a runner." Cathy replied from where she was sitting on Marlon. "Ahh looks a lot like Johnny."

"Wait what?" Johnny asked looking behind them as the group continued onward. "Why am I a zombie? Would think I'd be able to outrun them."

"You can't keep running all the time, even you and Fenrir run out of steam, and need to stop and eat. Might have been caught while doing so." Billy said as he looked down to Marlon's back. Not wanting to see the dead.


"We're almost there." Skull said as the High School came into view. "Bulkie hurry it up with the gate." he called out.

Jason looked at the school in a look of horror and amazement, it looked a mix between a school, and a prison. Around where the faculty were suppose to park was a fence, that circle all around the parking lot, school, and the fields. He could lightly hear a humming noise which quickly disappeared, just as the gate to in the parking lot started to open for them.

"Could be better." Jason replied as he still tried to get her to calm down. "Think she didn't want to see the zombies, and since I was closer to her at the time, she decided to hid under my shirt."

Dozens of zombies soon hit the gate/fence and started to get shocked. Zombie Johnny could be seen smoking. "Is that going to hold?" Johnny asked watching the fence.

"It hasn't failed us so far." A male voice said.

Billy jumped down from Marlon and Ursula. "How much voltage is being channeled though the fence Lt. Stone?" he asked the man.

"Three thousands volts." Jerome answered a bit surprised that Billy knew who he was. He blinked a few times as he looked from Billy to everyone else as those on Marlon climbed down.

"Their friendly." Skull said with a smile.

"But you still shot me in the head." Zedd said looking at Skull.

"Sorry. Everyone make it back ok?" Skull asked Jerome

"Yes, Mark and Robert arrived with the food. and Sam informed me of our guests." Jerome replied with a nod.
