Okay, I can't understand why there aren't more reviews. o.O This story was very, very involving. I admit I was a bit cautious at first about Aerin (I've never seen later versions of the Power Rangers than the Zeo Rangers, so I'm waiting until I've built up my knowledge about the Rangers in Space to read Forget Me Not, which means any introductory info on her I was *supposed* to actually get from that story... hasn't been gotten ^.^; ) - she seemed like a possible character to become... overly talented. Yet you didn't overload her with seeming perfection, and her fallability kept me from simply disregarding her as a full character. I think she's fairly well-balanced for someone who's several centuries old and still has to deal with menstruation. ^.^;

To the possibility that you had sprung Billy's being the Platinum Darkstar Ranger out of nowhere... well, honestly I expected *something* ever since Aerin was wondering why it seemed strange to think of Billy as Blue. I can sort of understand the confusion; my own mind gave me a fall-back in case I was wrong about where you were going with that, so that I could mentally readjust the story around that point if my suspicions weren't confirmed. (I'm not being clear, ^.^; I mean to say that part could be read as simply being about his no longer being the Blue Ranger, if one has been dwelling on it, despite the fact that she doesn't wonder about the other original Rangers possibly not suiting their colors.)

I do wonder about the Platinum Ranger that was supposed to be on her team at the time it was active, though. Billy thinks about the fact that he can never meet some members of his team, because they were already dead, but... I can't wrap my mind around a team being called together centuries before the only possible last member, which implies that there should have been another at the time, although he or she was never found. And my mind keeps picking at that point. ^.^; It can't stop considering possibilities, like "Billy was supposed to exist then," or "they couldn't find the Platinum Ranger because he/she had died in an accident on his/her planet before the team was formed," or "the person who was supposed to be the Platinum Ranger at that time was converted into evil before the team was formed," or or or. o.O;

I like the system you've set up about bonding to their Powers, and being intended for certain Powers; I can actually see it making retrospective sense when applied to what we saw in the shows. (And Adam is really the most logical choice for Blue Ranger if you've said it wasn't really intended to be Billy, especially if you want a balance of strengths on the original team.)

I'm not sure Zordon isn't getting more of the short end of the stick than he really deserves, but... it's also understandable that he would get cut out now that they've been told that he's sort of lied to them this entire time, and especially if he set himself up as this almost all-knowing sage, yet he's so far from being that that he got members of the team of which he was an active part killed out of his own... sheer stubbornness?

But I return to my original point - I really don't understand why you haven't gotten more feedback on this. I know PR isn't a hotbed of commenting activity or anything, but seriously. *headdesk*

Not bad in terms of style and sentence structure... though I think the suddenly revelation about the holder of the platinum power had no real build up, it would have better for clues to this to be in play rather than this forced revelation that was just kind of a nonchalant "Well, gee, he's right here."
Plus, after hundreds of years of no doubt studying rangers and powers, and after being a ranger himself, it's hard to believe Zordon would be so fantastically stupid about what seems to be the basic root of rangers True Power? If he was so cluelessly inept, who (Council on Eltar?) would have given him the title of 'Zordon' and sent him off to train new rangers with such a galactic level of incompetence?

GREAT STORY I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE SEQUEL
