Klappentext Get inside the mind of the Blue Ranger in this brand-new adventure from the Power Rangers. A research center in the middle of the ocean is the last place Billy Cranston expects to spot his nemesis. But on this island of science and wonder! the monster-making Finster is up to his old tricks. Laboratory animals are ballooning in size and being recruited into Rita Repulsa's evil army. Can the Blue Ranger vanquish his foe! or is this an island of no return? Chapter 1 Despite all the flashing lights along the Command Center’s computer panels, Billy Cranston, the sandy-haired Blue Ranger, remained completely focused on his work. The wrist-communicators he was trying to adjust were terribly important. And he should know—he’d invented them! The communicators not only allowed the five Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to contact one another at any time, but they also linked them to the Command Center’s teleporter. That way, they could fight any monstrous attacks from the evil witch Rita Repulsa and her minions on a moment’s notice, anywhere on Earth. Without the communicators, they’d have to wait for Zordon’s robotic assistant, Alpha 5, to operate the teleporter for them. Billy’s invention had worked reliably until that morning, when a large storm began on the surface of the sun. Solar storms were common, but the flares they produced interfered with everything from radio signals to auto engines to Internet transmissions. Now they prevented the communicators from working. The storm would pass, sooner or later. In the meantime, Billy hoped he could get them up and running, in case there was an emergency. So far, it wasn’t looking good. Much as his fellow Power Rangers wanted to get back to Angel Grove and enjoy some rare downtime, they knew not to hover while Billy worked. Alpha 5, who looked like a human except for his saucerlike head, was incredibly curious about anything humans did. The robot couldn’t keep from asking questions. “Why are you boosting the frequency instead of checking the circuits, Billy?” Alpha 5 asked. Billy usually didn’t mind. “I checked them before we got here,” he answered. Zordon, their guide and mentor, spoke up. “Alpha 5, let’s let Billy concentrate while you work on tracking the solar flares. A solar storm of this magnitude could interfere with the teleporter itself??! If he can figure out a way around that, it could be crucial in case of an attack!” Billy knew the wise sage himself would love to do more. After all, Zordon had fought Rita Repulsa ten thousand years ago, sealing her and her evil minions in a space Dumpster on the moon. Unfortunately, a last-ditch spell from the wicked witch had trapped Zordon in a time warp. With Rita free again, Zordon had to direct the battle from a special energy tube that maintained his delicate connection to this dimension and allowed him to communicate with the Power Rangers. The tube also made him look like a big floating head. But his words, and his wisdom, were vital. Billy’s technical wizardry seemed like magic to some, but it was really just science. While he was good at it, there was only so much he could do. After two hours, he was about to call it quits when his phone alarm beeped, reminding him of another important responsibility. Wiping his hands, he took a plastic bottle labeled food from his pocket and sprinkled a few dried flakes into a small bowl he’d left on the Command Center workbench. The goldfish inside munched away. Alpha 5 turned his metal head. “You’...
