"Ah, my friends, great to see you here, and you're Ace, right? You should already know the reason you're here, and you don't need to be so worried and distressed, I just want to talk." Jing Yuan would go down the stairs towards the group. Ace was still tense but was slowly starting to calm down with Stelle's help. "Well, the invaders are..."
Sighing and finding the strength to speak, he looked back at Jing Yuan, who had a friendly smile on his face. "They are conquerors who were sealed for a long time, after an event, they were released and wanted to dominate the planet where I came from. Of course, a group to protect the planet was created called the Power Rangers, who daily fight against the forces of Rita Repulsa and her army of monsters." Ace began to tell the basics of everything that happened and the information about Rita Repulsa. "Power Rangers? So I should assume you're one of them too?" Jing Yuan was thoughtful but also somewhat intrigued by this group of protectors of the planet where Ace came from.
"No sir, I was just someone who wanted to be able to help, so I prepared my own means. In a way, I can be considered just an honorary member. I was jumping from world to world to be able to expand my knowledge and obtain materials, but I didn't expect Aha to do something like this..." Ace felt guilt falling over him, his chest felt heavier as he thought that all of this could be avoided if he refused Aha's offer. "We know about the stories of the Aeon of Elation; he is known for committing this kind of action, but even in a disadvantageous situation you rushed to help the civilians without thinking twice, and you also put your life at risk." Ace's first impression of Jing Yuan was good, and being a friend of the Astral Express made him have a lighter opinion of the newcomer. On his shoulder was a small bird, which he used his finger to pet.
Ace began to feel lighter seeing how Jing Yuan was acting, managing to have the pressure on his shoulders relieved even if just a little. "You're an ally of the Astral Express, so I must say you're also a friend of mine here." He kept that smile on his face as he placed his hand on Ace's shoulder. "Don't worry so much; your information is useful. Could you tell me more about the members of Rita Repulsa's army?" At Jing Yuan's request, Ace fell into thought. He knew the main members, but as for the soldiers? It was hard to say since every day a new one was appearing.
"Hard to say, Rita Repulsa manages to create powerful monsters daily since we destroy them in our battles, but among them is Goldar, that golden-armored monster I faced; he's almost always together." Goldar was becoming a problem, but for some reason Ace felt that something bigger was going to unfold involving him and Goldar. "The alliance of Rita's army and Sanctus Medicus is the biggest concern we have." Welt adjusted his glasses as he spoke; everyone agreed with what he said.
"I'll go talk to the Power Rangers as soon as possible about what happened, in case they don't know, it will be a great help to know what's going on." Ace then said what was on his mind at the moment: the Power Rangers definitely needed to know what was going on. "I'll go with you, it will be easier that way. What do you think?" Stelle offered to go with Ace to talk to the Rangers, which made Welt and Himeko agree. "Alright then, as soon as possible we will go talk to them together." He didn't know if it was possible to take someone with him to the portal, but he would try anyway.

[Hayoi: Oh? So you mean we will have the Rangers too? FANTASTIC!]
[DuckOnMe!: I want to know about the free Jades.]
[Hierophant_Green: Free Jades are good, but what if we get free characters?]
[TunaKaslana: I want to know about Lore; I play because of that!]
[Hierophant_Green: You play to see the legs of the female characters; just look at their art.]
[TunaKaslana: And is it wrong to like legs? They are beautiful.
[Hierophant_Green: Whatever makes you sleep better at night.]
After a few hours of preparation, Ace and Stelle were ready. He started to prepare the return to Angel Grove. He put his hand on Stelle's shoulder while hoping for the best. The trip began, and when he was in his room, Stelle was by his side. "The trip was a success, huh? Well, let's go, they must be at the Youth Center." Stelle and Ace headed towards the Youth Center. Of course, Ace would go first while Stelle took some pictures of the place for March 7.
Arriving at the Youth Center, Ace looked at his group of friends, with Billy and Kimberly looking a little downcast. "Huh...should I ask what happened?" His arrival surprised the group, but Billy and Kimberly quickly shook their heads. "Nothing, nothing! Just...a little troubled moment on the beach!" Kimberly spoke defensively, which made the group laugh and Ace suspicious. He didn't know, but he had completely missed the events of one of the episodes of the series.
"Oh, I need to say something urgent. This is Stelle, a friend of mine. We have to go to Zordon... urgent, it's about Rita." The whole group became tense, and their expressions changed to something serious. They went out to a quiet place and communicated with Alpha. After a few moments, they were all teleported to the command center with Stelle.
"What do you want to talk about, Ace? You almost never talk seriously..." Zack was worried; after all, no one knew Ace better than him. "So..." He recounted the whole story, which made the group react differently, but they all had one thing in common, concern. "I see... so Rita's plans extended to this point? It's not your fault, Ace." Zordon spoke, already knowing what Ace was thinking.
He looked at Stelle, feeling how similar she was to everyone, making an idea come to him. "We'll be prepared as soon as possible. I had some ideas in mind, but now... it's better to put them into practice. Ace, you've earned your place as a Ranger. Your brave heart and altruism have taken you here." A light fell on Ace. Instead of his Xianzhou clothes, he was now the Purple Ranger.
But the surprise was that the light also fell on Stelle. Her clothes transformed into another Ranger uniform, this time as the Orange Ranger. "I can feel an enormous desire to protect people coming from you, as well as the fact that you've done incredible feats of altruism. Even if you can't help daily on this side of the world, you'll still be part of the Rangers to protect everyone from the invasion and evil plans of Rita." Stelle didn't know what to say. She looked at her own clothes, seeing how she was now, and also feeling more powerful.
