It had been many years, since Tommy was a ranger. He went to college and became a science teacher. Shortly after school started, a new gym teaher was hired. Her name was Kimberly Hart. Tommy knew Kimberly because they attended high school together in Angel Grove. Not only did they go to school together, they were a couple and they were also power rangers.
It was hard for him to accept that they were working in the same school. He tried to avoid her because she hurt him several years ago. She broke up with him in a letter. One day, Conner was late for class. Tommy started a film on dinosaur fossils, then he went to look for Conner. He headed to the gym to get Conner. Half way down the hall, he met Conner.
"Sorry, Dr. O," stated Connor. "The gym teacher was talking to me and she said she was sorry about it. She seems really nice."
"I will go talk to her," answered Tommy.
He went down to the gym to talk to the gym to the gym teacher. When he walked in the gym, he saw a woman dressed in a pink sweat suit. She looked really pretty. He knew right away it was Kimberly.
"I heard you want to talk to me," stated Tommy.
"Yes, I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry that Conner was late for class," answered Kimberly.
She turned around and was shocked. Kimberly was face to face with her ex-boy friend. It had been years since she had seen him. She didn't know that he worked at Reefside too.
"Tommy!" Kimberly gasped. "I didn't know you worked here too!"
"Yes, I do. I'm a science teacher," answered Tommy. " I heard you are the new gym teacher."
"I am, I've been here a few weeks, " answered Kimberly. "I really like Reefside. I also teach gymnastics and swimming."
"I didn't know we had a pool in this school?" gasped Tommy.
"We do, it's in the other room," answered Kimberly. "Follow me."
Tommy followed her into the other room. When he walked into the other room, he saw a big pool. He had no idea how big the pool was. It was bigger than the pool at the community center. He sat down by her and they had a talk.
"What happened to the Pan Global Games?" asked Tommy.
"They got too demanding and my coach let me go. He said I wasn't good enough. I would have came back to Angel Grove, but I was too embarrassed. That's why I sent you the letter," answered Kimberly.
"I'd have to admit it really hurt me," admitted Tommy.
"I know and I am sorry. I just didn't know what you would think about what happend. You saw me get the offer to go train for the games. Tommy, I didn't want to disappoint you!" admitted Kimberly.
"You could have told me the truth," answered Tommy. "I would have understood. You got the offer to go train for the games and that is something to be proud of. Not very many people get that offer."
"Are you still with Kat?" Kimberly asked.
"I haven't seen her since we transferred our powers to the new Turbo Rangers," answered Tommy.
"Well, we can talk more after school if you want," stated Kimberly." We can even go for a swim."
"Sure, I'd love that!" answered Tommy.
When they got up from their chairs, they saw something glowing in the water. Tommy knew it was most likely a dino gem. He couldn't tell Kimberly that, since he could not reveal that Kira, Connor, Ethan, and Trent were now rangers. What would she think if she found out that he was the black power ranger? For weeks, Tommy had been tracking down a new dino gem. He didn't know it's color, or where it was. After he saw it shine in the pool, he knew it was most likely meant for Kimberly.
"Tommy, what is that glowing down in the pool?" asked Kimberly.
"It's a long story," answered Tommy. "I'll tell you about it after school."
Tommy noticed that Kimberly was drawn to it. But, he couldn't leave her there with alone. He didn't want another ranger to be taken to Mesogog. Tommy knew that they had to retrieve the dino gem right away.
"Kimberly, do you have any classes next period?" asked Tommy.
"No it's my free period?" answered Kimberly. " Is next period your planning period too?"
"Yes, it is," answered Tommy. "I think we need to go check out what is at the bottom of the pool."
"Do you have any clothes to change into?" asked Kimberly.
"No, I don't have any with me," answered Tommy.
"It's okay, we have suit of all sizes for students, incase they didn't bring their swimwear to class," answered Kimberly.
Tommy followed Kimberly to a small room. The room had nothing but swimwear for all sizes for both genders. Tommy walked over to find his size. He grabbed a pair of black shorts and he kept on his white tee-shirt (that he wore under his dress shirt). He went into the changing room and changed. Kimberly was already wearing a pink one piece suit.
"Did you forget yours too?" asked Tommy.
"No," answered Kimberly. "I wore my swimsuit under my sweat suit since I have to teach swimming in the afternoon."
They walked back into the big room where the pool was. Kimberly was already getting in the pool. Tommy caught up with her.
"Kim, I think I better go with you," stated Tommy. "Trust me, you will be surprise what it is."
She didn't question him. They both got into the pool and swam towards the bottom of the pool. As they got closer, Tommy knew it was a pink dino gem. Kimberly swam closer to the gem and grabbed the gem. When she touched the gem, it bounded with her. Tommy knew that he had found their sixth ranger. It seemed like she had the power of the stegosaurus. They swam back up to the surface.
Kimberly noticed that she had on a strange sliver bracelet around her wrist. She also saw the gem glowing in her hand. Tommy knew that he had to tell her what had just happened.
"Kim, you just found a dino gem and it has bounded with you. You are know the pink ranger," stated Tommy.
"It's been years, since I've been a ranger!" declared Kimberly. "I'm in my late 20's. In a few years I'll be 30. I'm too old for this!"
"You may be too old, but you can still pull it off," reassured Tommy. "I'm the black power ranger."
Kimberly was in shock. She didn't think that Tommy would be a ranger again. He was now a science teacher. He showed her the bracelet around his wrist. It looked exactly like hers.
"You need to realize that each gem choses the person that it bounds with it. It has already bounded with you," answered Tommy.
"Is there other rangers?" asked Kimberly. "I mean is there already a new team of rangers?"
"Yes, we have four other rangers besides the two of us," answered Tommy. " Conner McKnight is the red ranger. He has the power of the Tyrannosaurs. Ethan James is the blue ranger. He has the power of the Triceratops. Kira Ford is the yellow ranger. She has the power of the Pterosaur. Trent Fernandez-Mercer is the white ranger. He has the power of the Tupuxuara. I'm the black ranger and have the power of the Brachiosaurus. You are now the pink ranger and have the power of the Stegosaurus."
Kimberly agreed to meet Tommy after school, so she could meet the rest of the team. It was still hard for her to believe she was a power ranger again. But, at the same time, she couldn't believe Tommy was a ranger again. He was once the green ranger, then the white ranger, then the red zeo ranger, then the red turbo ranger, and now the black dino ranger.
Meanwhile, back at Mesogog's layer, he sensed that the final dino gem was found. Elsa and Zeltrax were there. There were now six rangers and he needed more help. He once heard that the original rangers fought Rita, Zedd, and Goldar. But, they were no longer around, since Andros destroyed Zordon's tube to save the world. He wanted to bring them back to help him fight the rangers. Elsa read up on them and found out that there was a way to bring them back. Mesogog took what Elsa read and followed the directions. Within, mintutes Rita, Zedd, and Goldar were revived. They stepped into his layer.
"It's good to be back!" shouted Goldar. "How can I survive my new master?"
"Goldar, you work for us!" corrected Zedd.
"Let, me introduce myself," said Mesogaog. "I am Mesogog. I am fighting against the dino thunder rangers. Tommy Oliver is their mentor."
"We know who Tommy Oliver is!" shouted Rita." He and the other rangers ruined our plans!"
"May I ask who got the last gem?" asked Zedd.
"Kimberly Hart, she got the pink dino gem," answered Elsa.
"Kimberly was also a ranger with Tommy!" shouted Zedd. "She was just as bad as Tommy!"
"Don't worry," reassured Mesogog. "I'm sure the six of us can take down the rangers."
