Chapter 1
The Reefside Two
The teenagers who made up four fifths of Reefside's Power ranger team 'Dino Thunder' were hanging out in the basement of their mentor, and current black ranger, Tommy Oliver. Haley the resident techno genius was working on some upgrades to the computer system and had Ethan, the blue ranger (and a computer wiz), helping out. Kira, the yellow ranger, was sitting in a corner working on a new song. Trent the, formerly evil, white ranger, and Tommy were talking quietly in another corner. No one quite knew where Conner, the red ranger, had gotten to.
Everyone looked up when Conner came flying into the room, tensing up as if expecting an attack. They all relaxed when Naomi the current holder of the green dino gem walked up to Conner and said in a quiet voice "And we won't do that again will we, Conner". "No" the boy in red groaned.
Walking up to Trent, Naomi asked "Mind if I borrow Tommy for a while", "Not at all" Trent replied. Naomi looked at Tommy and began to speak "Tommy I have some bad news, I was just contacted by Andros, and it seems evil is once again using the moon as a jumping point to take over the earth." At this point they were interrupted by gasps of horror from the other people in the room and cries of "what are we going to do?" "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted" Naomi continued "We are contacting all of the red rangers in an attempt to assemble a force strong enough to defeat this evil. Are you going to come?" Tommy just looked at her for several seconds before laughing "what do you think?" "Good, I'll see you in three days at the NASADA space port. I'm off to find the rest of the rangers on earth, so you won't be seeing me before then." Turning around right before she left the room Naomi pointed to Conner who was still slumped against the wall she had thrown him into earlier and said "Oh, I suggest you teach Conner some manners if you're going to bring him along". And then she left.
Tommy was instantly besieged by questions. "Whoa, whoa, one at a time, please." Tommy pointed at Ethan who asked, "If it's a ranger mission why are only you and Conner invited?" "That's because it's a RED ranger mission so only red rangers are going. Its also means that if there is an attack while we're gone most of the team will still be here to deal with it." "But you're the BLACK ranger not the red ranger!" "Yes that is true but before I became the black ranger I was a red ranger and I still have my powers as the RED Zeo ranger."
Kira asked "Who's Andros?" Tommy replied "Andros is the red space ranger. He is originally from another planet and owns his own space ship so he often gets sent on missions that require space travel. It seems that Naomi has set him some kind of reconnissance and it has revealed a situation that we are going to go deal with."
"Uh my question is not for you but for Conner!" Trent said looking at the teen who, although still slumped against the wall had started to move again. "I want to know what he was doing that got Naomi so mad at him." Conner looked up at the faces surrounding him and answered "listening in on her phone conversation." "God you're an idiot" Kira exclaimed.
Standing in the doorway Tommy chuckled and said "You know none of you have asked me the obvious question yet." "And that would be?" Kira asked. As he disappeared out the door they heard Tommy say "Why Green Ranger Naomi's going on a mission that is Red Rangers Only?"
