Jason watched as his siblings turned to leave, he understood that their dad was asking a lot, but what about all the things Zordon had done for them. He had taken them in when they had nowhere else to go. Rescued them when they were kidnapped, and gave them a loving home. Wasn't this a good way to pay him back?
"Yo, Jas, you coming?" Zack called out.
Jason glanced at their father one last time, maybe he could talk his siblings into helping?
He shook his head, following after them, "Guys come on, this is Pip we are talking about, don't you think we aught to at least try to help, come on think about everything he has done for us. Can't we help him for once?"
Zack shook his head, "Dude, he asked us to be superheroes, Kim and Billy are the only ones who have powers."
Kim shrugged, "I don't see how freezing water is a super power? Trust me, being a mermaid isn't all it is cracked up to be. Try not being able to go to the popular girl's pool party because you don't want to grow a tail."
As the siblings bickered on rather or not Billy and Kim's mermaid powers made them more qualified to be superheroes when clay men with no faces attacked.
Jason and Zack quickly teamed up while the others fend for themselves, Trini doing all right. Kim was able to freeze the ground underneath the clay men, causing them to slip and slide. Billy however couldn't use his powers without any surface water available.
The clay men soon had Billy thrown against the cliff. Kim slipped on her own ice patch and crashed into him, Trini following soon after.
Jason shook his head as Kim and Trini caught him as he fell, he had to do something. He quickly pulled out the belt buckle Zordon had given them, "Pip says these will give us powers, let's do it!"
...
Lori frowned, going to the counter, "Ernie, have you seen Jason and the others?"
The kind man shook his head at the young girl, "No I haven't, maybe they went home?"
"Maybe," Lori muttered, leaving the youth center.
She was cutting through the business district an area that was basically a ghost town on Saturday when she saw it. Five people in special suits fighting a golden monkey face dude. Suddenly the monkey face dude grew to the size of a skyscraper and the superheroes called vehicles shaped like dinosaurs to fight the monkey.
"Wow," Lori exclaimed, "The others aren't going to believe this!"
...
Billy hurried into the house, "Hi, Mrs. Calloway, I'm home, I'll be in my lab if you need me." Now was the perfect time to finish his latest invention, he had a feeling they were going to put it into good use.
"Billy!" Lori cried out jumping up as her older brother walked by the kitchen table, "you will never believe what I saw this afternoon!"
Billy patted her head, "That's nice Lori, I have something I need to do, We'll talk later."
" What are you doing? Can I help? Did I tell you I saw superheroes?" Lori asked, following him out the back door and into his lab.
"That is very delightful." Billy stated, sitting down on his stool by his workbench.
Lori plopped down on another stool, "What does it take to be a superhero? I mean we aren't superheroes, yet we have powers, and we have enemies, Dr. Denman, so how do we get the super suits?"
"If you insist on vocalizing about your imaginary creations can you at least pass me my screwdriver."
"But Billy," Lori whined, handing him the requested tool, "You're smart, how would you go about getting a super suit?"
Billy sighed, "You take something embedded with the same magical energies as the power and link it to a vocal stimulation activation."
Lori jumped up, "Thanks Billy," she shouted as she raced out of the door, she needed to get to the Moon Cove up in the mountain. Surely she could find something there.
She was walking on the bank of the stream that originated at moon cove when she saw it, something glittering in the water. She stopped, curiousity getting the best of her, before looking around, making sure she was alone and diving in.
As soon as she touched the water she felt weird, like a bee was buzzing right underneath her skin. It grew and grew until, with a flash of light her legs disappeared and a golden tail took their place. She scrambled at the bottom of the stream bed, looking for the thing that caught her attention in the first place.
Soon she was dry on the bank, a golden coin clutched in her hand. She held it up to the sunlight, it looked brand new, how long had it been under water? The tween red head squinted her eyes, there was some sort of picture on it. A long neck dinosaur, with fins instead of legs, "An Elasmosaurus!" She cried out, there was a reason she was the top student in her sixth grade class.
She jumped up, her tail gone and her capris back, "I have to show this to the others!"
...
As she run into the youth center, shouting, "Guys, guys look what I..." She trailed off when she saw Billy simply disappeared in a flash of blue light, "Come on, why do you keep doing this, uncool Billy, uncool!"
With a huff she spun on her heels, storming out of the center grumbling about her siblings avoiding her. Maybe she should just go to the moon cove. She better get going if she wanted to get there and back before the full moon rises.
Taking a short cut that they had discovered years ago while suffering from moon madness, Lori soon arrived at the place where she, Kim and Billy were transformed into mermaids when she was four. Now where did the magic come from?
