T.J had retired from being a Power Ranger eighteen months ago after he heard the news about his father's condition, when he left he knew that his place would in the team would be taken by someone else. Because of that even after his father passed away half a year ago and he told his family his secret, he was stuck in the life of a civilian, but not for much longer.

About twenty minutes ago he was approached by someone who looked like Billy before he left for Aquitar and who told him about the multiverse and his plan to form a new ranger team. While T.J did notice the older man looking intensely with some strange emotion in his eyes, he saw no reason to either doubt or refuse him, though the Ranger did ask for some time to let his family know.

Once T.J had taken care of all that he headed for the meetingplaza he and old Billy had agreed on. "I'm ready." The old man grabbed a communicator. "Get the Lupus Voyager ready and take us home, the Blue Ranger has joined the team." 

When he heard the word Voyager the current and former Blue ranger couldn't help but think back to his trusty Mega V3, though he hoped he would get a non-vehicle Zord this time.

Ever since he and the Rangers had given up their powers Mike missed it, sure as member of security  he still helped people but it wasn't the same. He constantly had to fight the urge to just up the Magna Blaster and travel the galaxy as Magna Defender on his own, but he knew that wouldn't work. So naturally when the old man he had befriended while patrolling  Mirinoi revealed that he knew abut his secret identity and needed his help in a new team of ranger, he accepted immediately.

Before he could say or do anything else, Billy as the recruiter was called  took out a weird device and started talking into it. "We have our Black Ranger, take the to of us to the base and finish getting the Taurus Voyager ready."

As soon as he was done Billy grabbed Mike's hand and a strange light enveloped both of them. The next thing he knew Mike was somewhere he had never seen before, though even from a glance he could tell the place was incredibly high-tech, even more so than the space Station he had fought to defend.
