GREEN DREAMS
I'M A POWER RANGER…. Tommy Oliver couldn't wrap his head around the fact that he was a super hero. Was it only a week ago that he had moved to Angel Grove?
It started with that exhibition against the local guy, Jason Scott; Jason had fantastic technique and speed. Tommy thought the guy would make a great sparring partner. Then standing up for that cute girl Kimberly against those bullies they called Bulk and Skull. Despite just having met Kimberly, he was half in love with her already.
Rita was so impressed she had kidnapped him and used her sorcery to control him. The perfect weapon against the Rangers, especially with the Dragon coin in the mix. He was glad they had been able to stop him. He had come so close, first trashing the command center and banishing Zordon, then actually taking a hand in the battle against the Megazord. They had discovered the need to destroy the Sword of Darkness and had saved him from a living nightmare. Now they had forgiven him, no small feat, he conceded.
The tone came over the communicator given him by Billy. "I read you. What's up Zordon?"
"The other Rangers need you Tommy." Their mentor had a very odd voice but that's what happened when you lived in a time warp for centuries. Billy had tried to explain the science behind it but it made no sense to Tommy.
"On it." Tommy elected to teleport and morph there if necessary. Now that he was a proper ranger he had to follow the rules. Using the teleport function in the wristband he disappeared from his room and reappeared in the middle of Armageddon.
All hell was breaking loose around him and Tommy wasn't certain what to make of it all. Out of nowhere he was tackled by a blur of blue moving at high speed to remove him from the path of an explosion.
'Tommy, we need the Green Ranger, now! Rita managed to disable Jason and Kim inside their zords. Now hurry and morph!' Tommy could only wonder at what had provoked the Blue Ranger to this display.
"Ok Billy." Pulling his morpher from its pocket dimension Tommy called out "DRAGONZORD" and in a flash of morphin energy the Green Ranger stood in his place.
"What did you mean about being 'disabled'?" "I mean that those zords are useless in battle without repairs and Jason and Kim are stuck. Call the Dragonzord Tommy. We need it now."
Without any further argument Tommy withdrew his Dragon dagger which also doubled as the flute to summon the powerful Dragonzord. When it came out of the bottom of the lake it always resembled Godzilla's robot double from the movie. It was fully loaded with missiles and high-tech weapons from head to toe; just what any fun-loving teenager would want for his birthday.
Tommy then played the second refrain that would cause the Dragonzord to transform and join with the others to form its 'battle' mode. Tommy actually chose to pilot his zord because he wanted to see how his personal power crystal would affect his zord.
Billy seemed to naturally take command in Jason's absence: "Power up your power crystals." As they did and inserted them the zords came together. Tommy experienced, for the first time, the joining of the zords. He decided later that there were no words to really explain what he felt. Except to say, "IT ROCKED!"
Ten minutes later the battle was done; the zords were sent to the bays for repairs and the Rangers brought to the Command Center. Fortunately Jason and Kim were ok, having only slight bruises and sore muscles. Billy was actively praising Tommy but surprising enough was also upset with Jason that he had taken a 'break' leaving the Blue Ranger in command.
"I think the Green Ranger performed significantly well in our latest venture." Like everyone else, Tommy had a blank look on his face. Trini translated, "He said 'Tommy did well out there.'"
Like before they all placed their hands in a group: "POWER RANGERS"
Elsewhere….a pair of eyes in a dimly lit room focused on the Green Ranger. "That's the first."
