Chapter Two

Later that night as Tommy & Kat were lying down on the couch in the living room with Tommy's arm around Kat's shoulders. His fingers were trailing down her arm as she snuggled up closer to him. Tommy pressed his lips to the top of her head before smiling down at her & giving her a sweet kiss on the lips. They savored the moment before breaking to catch their breaths.

Tommy: "Remember when you were in charge of building those low cost housing for the Humanitarian Housing in downtown Angel Grove."

Kat: "I remember. What about it?"

Tommy: "I was thinking about when Zordon contacted us telling us that Rito & the Tenga Warriors appeared at the construction site & you & Nicole were under attack."

Kat: "Yes."

Tommy: "I was worried about you, after all you had just joined the team."

Kat: "What about Nicole? She was with me as well."

Tommy: "I knew Nicole could handle by herself because I taught her martial arts & she didn't seem to need my help unless she was in trouble."

Kat: "You know something."

Tommy: "What's that?"

Kat: "The three of us have an unbreakable bond because we had all been used by Rita."

Tommy: "You're right. That's why some of the others couldn't seem to understand why the three of us were always together."

Then suddenly Nicole came running into the living room, her face was very pale & her eyes had a scared look in them. Tommy & Kat knew exactly what happened as he moved away from her to pull his sister into his arms. She buried her head into her brother's chest as her body shivered from the fear of what she had just seen.

Tommy: "What happened Nicole?"

Nicole: "I was in Mesagog's Lab as he brought a dino gem like ours onto the table. Then he left for some reason & suddenly Trent appeared. He was looking for something or someone when his arm rested on the exact same table as the dino gem. Then all of a sudden he fell down in pain & the next thing I saw was that his eyes had a cold look in them."

Tommy: "Are you saying...?"

Kat: "What is it Tommy?"

Tommy: "The dino gem that Nicole saw in her dream has bonded with Trent."

Kat: "You mean..."

Nicole: "Trent's the evil white ranger."

The next day after school, Tommy told Conner, Ethan, & Kira to head over to the Dino Ruins because they needed to talk about something very important. When the three teenagers arrived, they saw that Kat had her arm around Nicole's shoulders as Tommy stood in front of her with her hands in his telling her that everything will be fine.

Conner: "What's wrong with Nicole Dr. O?

Tommy: "She had another vision & this one scared her really badly."

Kira: "What was the vision about?"

Kat: "It's about your new enemy."

Ethan: "What new enemy? The only one we know is Mesagog, Elsa, & Zeltrax."

Tommy: "There's gonna be an evil white ranger that will attack us."

Kira: "Who is this evil white ranger?"

Nicole: "His name is Trent-Fernandez Mercer."

Kira: "The new kid!"

Nicole: "Guys whatever happens please don't hurt him."

Conner: "Why Nicole?"

Nicole: "I'm the only one who can help him. The three of us were evil once before & we know how to deal with it."

Kira: "We promise not to hurt him."

Nicole: "Thanks Kira!"

A few days later, Nicole bumped into Trent at the park. Just like in her vision the evil white ranger had attacked them. But she knew that the white dino gem has some evil in it as it was controlling Trent. Nicole knew that Trent didn't want to hurt her at all, but he couldn't stop himself.

Nicole: "Hi Trent!"

Trent: "Hi Nicole! Thanks for meeting me here."

Nicole: "No problem Trent. What did you want to talk to me about?"

Trent: "You know that I'm the white ranger, but I don't want to hurt you."

Nicole: "Trent. I know what it's like to be evil. I was once evil as well & it scares me to see you like this as well."

Trent: "You were once evil as well. How?"

Nicole: "My brother & I were new students at Angel Grove High School. I was starting my freshmen year as my brother was starting junior year. Then the next thing we know was that we were under Rita's magic & she made us fight the rangers. We nearly destroyed them, but our friends didn't give up on us. They helped set us free & we later joined the team. Then Kat stepped into our lives & went down the same path as us."

Trent: "Will you help me Nicole?"

Nicole: "Of course, I'll help you Trent. You're not alone in this. You have me, my brother, & Kat as well."

Trent: "Thanks Nicole!"

Nicole: "Anytime Trent."

Every few days Trent & Nicole would meet up secretly though Tommy & Kat knew about this as well as Hayley. Sometimes Tommy or Kat would come along with Nicole & talk to Trent about the time they were evil & what they did. Tommy had the hardest time about what he did to Trent. Even Kat told him about how she nearly killed her friend, Kimberly by taking her power coin at that time. Nicole told Trent about how she almost killed her brother's friend Jason as well. Soon the two of them were falling for each other & Tommy saw a smile on his sister's face whenever she's around the real Trent. Tommy had just walked into his house, when his phone began to ring. He picked it up to answer the phone.

Tommy: "Hello!"

Jason: "What's up bro?"

Tommy: "Hey man! Nothing much except a new villain, new team, Nicole, & Kat."

Jason: "I didn't know Kat's living with you."

Tommy: "Nicole begged her too. She loves Kat like a sister & she knows that I still love Kat as well."

Jason: "She knew that Kat was the only one for you."

Tommy: "I don't blame her. How are you & Kim?"

Jason: "We're good. Kim's been busy with teaching gymnastics & I've been busy with the dojo. Rocky & Aisha are the same & so are Adam & Tanya."

Tommy: "How's Billy doing?"

Jason: "He's you know..."

Tommy: "I understand man."

Jason: "How's Nicole doing?"

Tommy: "She's fine!"

Jason: "Doesn't seem like you sound okay?"

Tommy: "There's this new enemy that showed up in her vision & it scared her."

Jason: "Who is it?"

Tommy: "The evil white ranger."

Jason: "Do you know who he is?"

Tommy: "I do & he's one of my students."

Jason: "What's his name?"

Tommy: "Trent Fernandez-Mercer. He also likes Nicole."

Jason: "You mean..."

Tommy: "Yep!"

Jason: "That's got to be frustrating for Nicole to deal."

Tommy: "It's eating her up. Even though she doesn't want to show it, I know that it's hurting her."

Jason: "But you know she's stubborn like you when it comes to dealing with emotions. You were the same way when you lost your green ranger powers or the day Kim sent you that letter."

Tommy: "I know. But it's even harder to break through her walls that she put up around herself. I guess she's more like me than I thought."

Jason: "Don't worry bro. Just give her some time & she'll come around."

Tommy: "Thanks man!"

Jason: "No problem! Well, I got to go bro. You should come up & visit us sometime."

Tommy: "I'll have to get some time to come up again."

Jason: "Bring Kat, Nicole, & your students as well."

Tommy: "I will. Talk to you later Jase. Say hi to Kim for me."

Jason: "Will do! Say hi to Kat & Nicole for me."

Tommy: "You can count on it man."

Jason: "Bye Tommy!"

Tommy: "Bye Jase!"
