Rocky DeSantos was placing the last of his stuff into the cardboard box next to his bed so that it would be ready to be moved out to the moving truck to go to his new home in Reefside, California. He had heard that a new karate dojo had opened up and, after talking to one of the employees, he was hired as a teacher there part time alongside the owner. Grinning, he finally was able to pack the last thing and started moving his stuff from the house to the moving truck when he noticed his Labrador running up to him with something in his mouth. Laughing a little bit, Rocky put down the boxes in his hand and leaned down ruffling his fur.
"Hey there Elbert what you got there boy," he asked smirking at the dog.
Panting a little bit Elbert leaned his head down and dropped the object into Rocky's hand before barking and running off chasing a rabbit he just saw. Chuckling, Rocky wiped off the object before looking into his hand to see what he just got, a navy blue gem. After seeing it glow slightly Rocky felt a surge of energy run through his body before shaking his head and standing up to get back to moving. Finally hours later, after packing up everything and then driving hours towards his new home, Rocky parked in front of his house and smiled as he climbed out of his car. After opening the front door for the movers to get his stuff inside he started his second run through of the house and started unpacking some of his things.
After the movers had gotten everything into his house, Rocky looked at his watch and noticed that it was seven pm at the time. Hearing his stomach grumble he figured that it was time to eat and locked up his house before walking down the road. Another day he would have drove but it was nice and clear outside and he figured that walking wouldn't harm him and that he should give his new town the benefit of the doubt. After walking for about ten minutes he finally came across a place called the Cyberspace that caught his attention, along with the woman who was standing behind the bar. Walking in Rocky walked up to the bar and sat down catching the woman's attention making her smile and walk over to him.
"So what can I get you?" she asked smiling.
"What do you have that's good?" Rocky asked grinning.
"Well if you're looking for food then I would suggest a slice of pizza," she said laughing causing him to laugh also.
"Sure why not," Rocky said grinning at her, "my name is Rocky DeSantos what's yours?"
The woman then froze as she heard his name and dropped the plate in her hand and causing it to break on the floor. Spinning around she gave Rocky a look of pure shock sped walking back over to him and leaning over the bar so that only he would hear her.
"Rocky DeSantos, the red ape ranger?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Rocky replied after getting over his initial shock.
"Don't play dumb with me DeSantos, I already know Tommy was a past ranger and I've watched his videos about the other rangers so I know who you are ape boy,"
"Who are you?" Rocky asked glaring at her, "and why did you call me ape boy?"
"My name is Hayley Zitkor the technical expert for the dino thunder gang," Hayley said smirking again, "and I called you ape boy because you were the first to pilot the ape zord."
"Okay first that's hurtful I piloted other zords then the ape and second who are the dino thunders?"
"I know that and the dino thunders are the newest group of power rangers," Hayley said checking to see if anyone was coming towards them, "Listen just stay after work and I'll tell you all that you need to know."
Rocky nodded and grinned as Hayley placed a slice of pizza in front of him and he started to chow down as she continued on with her business. After finishing his pizza the former red ranger waited for the café to close when a commotion outside caught not only his but Hayley's attention. Running outside Rocky saw a woman his age surrounded by a group of dinosaur looking humanoids. Running forward Rocky flipped over them and kicked one of them startling the rest of the group. Looking at the woman he motioned with his head for her to run, which she did, before turning back towards his opponent.
"Alright then who's first?"
"That would be me," a voice said making Rocky's blood freeze.
Turning around Rocky saw a white claded figure walking up to him, clapping his hands together slowly before stopping in front of him and looking him over. After his he was through he let out a cold laugh making the red ranger get back into a fighting stance.
"I have to say, you don't look like much but you could possibly entertain me for a little bit," the white ranger said turning away, "now then I'll give you the first strike make it count."
Not really sure what was going on, Hayley ran out of Cyberspace only to get there in time to see Rocky throwing a punch at the white dino thunder ranger only to be thrown on his back with the white ranger laughing at him. Grabbing the front of Rocky's shirt the white ranger proceeded to toss him through the air and into a dumpster scaring Hayley who ran over to him as the white ranger turned away.
"I guess it's time to go the gem is nowhere to be found here," he said before he vanished.
"Rocky, Rocky come on get up," Hayley said shaking him.
Rocky then began to glow slightly and then groaned causing Hayley to sigh in relief before helping him sit up against the wall. As she helped him she saw a navy colored gem fall out of Rocky's pocket making her gasp.
"Where…where did you get that?" Hayley asked as Rocky rubbed the back of his head.
"Huh? Oh my dog Elbert found that why?"
"That a dino gem the thing that powers the dino thunder rangers," Hayley replied helping him stand up, "and based on what I seen and heard we need to get that thing to Tommy's house right now."
"Tommy, why do we need to get this to his house?" Rocky asked confused.
"He…he helps the dino thunder rangers and that's where their headquarters is so we need to get there quick," Hayley said as she dragged him over to her car, "get in I can get us there quickly."
Getting in the car Rocky watched as Hayley pushed the petal to the metal and drove off towards Tommy's house at a frightening speed. After getting there Hayley saw that Tommy wasn't there but instead there was a man in a red turtle neck sweater standing there with his arms crossed looking around.
"Hey who are…Jason?" Hayley asked as they got out of the car.
"Huh, Hayley how are you? Rocky you're here too?" Jason asked walking over to them.
"I'm good, you here to see Tommy?" Rocky asked shaking Jason's hand.
"Yeah I have a little problem that I think he can help me with," Jason said holding out his crimson gem.
"Hey I have one too," Rocky said holding out his navy one, "Hayley here said that they were called dino gems."
"Ah I see then, well looks as if our questions are about to be answered because here comes…is that Kim's car?"
Jason watched as Tommy and Kimberly got out of her car and walked towards them when they were about ten yards away they heard Tommy yell.
"Excuse me gentlemen can I help you?"
"It's been a while Tommy don't tell me that you forgot what we looked like already," one of the men said smirking.
"I'm sorry but do I…Jason, Rocky, is it really you?" Tommy asked surprising Kim.
"Yep, it's great to see you again Tommy," Jason said as the two hugged, "and Kim I almost didn't recognize you when you stepped out of the car."
"Hey Jason," Kim replied hugging him.
"So what are you two doing here anyway?" Tommy asked looking at the two.
"We were hoping you could explain what these are," Rocky replied as they held out their hands.
In their hands, much like Kim's, were a couple of gems one a dark crimson, and the other a dark navy blue. Taking a deep breath Tommy looked over at Kim and sighed shaking his head before walking to his door.
"Come on in the four of us need to talk,"
Nodding the three followed their old friend inside to his house hoping that they would finally be able to get some answers about what it was that they were in possession of.
