Author's note: The same as my other stories, Trent is part of the team. This time, I thought it'd be good to focus mainly on Conner and Eric. I also want to put Kim in this somehow.

Chapter 1: Forever Brothers

Eric and Conner McKnight. That's how most everyone that knew the family called them when they talked about them. Not Eric. Or Conner. Eric and Conner. None of the twins minded, they had each other.

"Eric" Conner yelled questioningly. He shut the door and threw his backpack down in the living room. Eric came out of the kitchen and put his plate on the table. The two embraced.

"Hey bro" he said. Conner smiled at his older brother. Eric was older by five minutes.

"Hey Eric. How's the academy" he asked. Eric traveled back and forth from the academy each day.

"Great" he answered. Suddenly, Conner's morpher rang and he looked down at it. This was one thing he couldn't tell his twin about.

"Sorry, this is an emergency. I've got to go" he said.

"I'm coming with" Eric said sternly. Conner sighed, this was going to be harder than it looked.

"No, you can't" he said.

"Why not" Eric asked.

"Because this is for me and a couple of others and only us" Conner explained. He walked out the door leaving Eric confused and stunned. He went to Tommy or Dr. O's house.

"What took you so long dude" Ethan asked. Conner panted even though he took his car. The car was parked at the far end of the driveway and he ran the rest of the way.

"Brother…..had to…..not look suspicious" he panted. Everyone was staring at him and he gave them dirty looks. They went back to what they were doing.

"Mesogog's attacking the city" Tommy informed him. They got into their stances and powered up. The monster saw them and went to fight them. The monster was attacking Tommy, Ethan, Kira, and Trent when Conner knew what to do.

"Hey ugly! Over here! Don't you want to fight the red ranger" he called to the monster. The monster turned around. The others were on the ground looking at him.

"Bye-bye ranger" the monster said before defeating him. The others gasped.

"NO" the teens screamed. They tried to get up.

"CONNER" Tommy yelled reaching a gloved hand out. Conner was no longer there, just his gem. This drove the others to get up and fight. They defeated the monster and went back to the lab with the gem. Everyone looked at it. They remembered who Conner said he wanted it to be given to, Eric.

"We have to do it. For Conner" Kira said suddenly. Every one of them knew she liked Conner. They agreed and climbed into Tommy's jeep. They headed to the McKnight's house. Ethan and Kira went to the door and Hayley and Tommy were right behind them.

"Conner's not home" Eric said as he saw who it was.

"We know that" Ethan said quickly. Eric looked at them confused.

"Then what do you want" he asked. They looked at each other.

"Are your parents home" Kira asked.

"No…….what the heck" Eric practically yelled as two teens and adults pushed him inside and shut the door. They sat him on the couch.

"We have to tell you something very important. Actually two things. The second one is one you cannot tell to anyone no matter what they say" Kira said. Eric took a deep breath unsure of what was going to happen.

"Okay" he said hesitantly.

"First off, I'm sorry to say this but, Conner was killed by a monster that was attacking the city. He intervened and was shortly murdered" Tommy informed him. Eric gasped. He was stunned by what he was being told.

"Second, Conner was the Dino Thunder red ranger" Hayley told him seriously. Eric laughed and the teens and adults looked at each other in confusion.

"I thought you guys were serious! You can come out now Conner, the joke's over" he said thinking Conner would come strolling in. Conner didn't come in. The others rolled their eyes. He was indeed like Conner.

"Dude, Conner's not here. He's…….he's gone" Ethan sadly. He was on the verge of crying. The whole team had been close to him. Eric looked at each of them.

"You're serious, aren't you" he asked. They nodded.

"Unfortunately yes" Hayley told him. Tears flowed freely from his face. He put his head on his knees and cried. Hayley sat next to him and rubbed his back comfortingly.

"I….I probably won't be as good as h-him" Eric said. He excepted the red gem.

"We're not asking you to" Kira said gently. Ethan smiled.

"Yeah, dude, you'd be almost as good. Except for the part where he can't stop talking about soccer" Ethan said. Eric smiled. Suddenly, an invisible hand scared him. Trent became solid. He'd come in with the others, but Eric hadn't seen them.

"How'd you do that" he asked.

"We all powers. Kira has ptera scream, Ethan is super strong, I can walk through walls and be invisible, Dr. O has invisibility, and Conner has….had super speed. That's your power now" Trent told him. Eric nodded and looked down at his shirt. Under the shirt, he was wearing half of a necklace. Conner had the other. The others looked at him.

"Why are you looking at your shirt" Kira asked suspiciously. Eric reached in and pulled out the necklace.

"This necklace was given to us when me and Conner were born. We each have…..had a half of it" he explained. Tommy thought about him and David and the arrowhead that they had or have. David was living with his family in Angel Grove or that's what he thought. Eric took the gem to try and change the topic. Then, their communicators went off.

"Ready" the others asked him. He nodded and took a breath.

Please R&R! No flames please!
