Tommy and Anara head to spot Finster used to track down JJ. Tommy morphs into Zeo red and takes down the gang. Anara catches up with JJ and tries to talk to him and we find out he was working undercover to help uncover the witch plans and Tommy and her have essentially blown his cover. The witch makes her presence known and isn't upset the fact she almost got played by Tommy's son and welcomes the chance to destroy both. Tommy automatically assumes it is Rita and we find out it is actually Scorpina

Tommy, JJ, and Anara fight Scorpina but she proves to be too strong as Tommy powers begin to give out and they get overwhelmed. Anara gets knocked off a building and Tommy is able to save her. They decide to go back to Finster to see if he can help them combat Scorpina but they get back to his home and find it destroyed with Finster dead. Finster made a clay creation of himself to get information to Tommy. Scorpina has made a deal with the demon Lokar in order to gain great power and her sacrifice is the son of Tommy Oliver. Finster with his dying breath tells Tommy he can save his son. Tommy reflects on the fact he realized he taught JJ the wrong lessons in living up to his shadow and taking things into his own hands. Tommy and Anara resolve to save JJ when he gets a call from his phone from someone he knows but we can't see

We cut back to Scorpina setting up JJ for his ritual and he questions her about how she became a minion when history says she just disappeared one day. We come to find out that Scorpina who was a warrior who wanted more power and be more than a servant was trying to steal one of Rita's powerful spell books but it seems it was a set up and she was caught and banished to Lokar dimension. Stuck in that dimension when Zordon was destroyed she did not get cleansed of her evil so she decided to be an agent for him and when she finally was able to return she was sent to the future (current timeline) instead of back when she got banished. JJ keeps her talking until Tommy shows up as the white ranger and Scorpina scolds him for showing up alone but Tommy has, Kat the SPD rangers and Blue Senterion there to help him

Scorpina crushes all the crystal she has and becomes a bigger and stronger version of herself. Scorpina is hellbent of trying to sacrifice JJ to Lokar so she can become the strongest being on earth. Tommy white ranger powers have now ran out and he's only down to the green ranger powers. He throws his morpher to JJ who morphs into the Green Ranger

Lokar shows up and he is pissed that Scorpina does not have his sacrifice ready and he absorbs her instead and informs the earth next time he returns he will be their destroy it.

The story ends with Tommy and Kat leaving with Tommy knowing the future is in safe hands. JJ sees his father and mother off when he gets a call and decides to get back to action

Was a pretty good read. Wouldn't have minded if this was a monthly story and not just a one off as it had enough legs to go longer and add in characters we haven't seen in years. A few surprises thrown in there as well and a pretty good send off for Tommy if that was the purpose. Would like to see more on JJ and he's diff from Tommy as a person and just the world in general since this seems to be set a few years after SPD ended as we can see with a few things in the story

@sigmax I would recommend it

Yea, wouldn't have minded to see how everyone else ended up even if it was just a normal life

They made note to Billy so it seems he became a big time scientist at the very last since Tommy was asked if his morpher was part of the Cranston line
