Chapter 3

At Cyberspace Cafe, the group was finally finished decorating the cafe. Suddenly, all of the bracelets on the teens' wrists went off.

Connor raised his wrist towards his face, while not glancing at Kira. "What's up, Dr. O?"

Tommy's voice came from the band on his wrist. "I need you guys to come to the Lab. We've got a problem."

Hayley and the teens looked at each other as she moved closer to Connor.

"Tommy, we haven't heard of any attacks. What's going on?"

"I'm going to need you, too, Hayley. We have to get somewhere,ah very far away."

The teens nodded as Conner lowered his arm. "Well, let's get going. It has to be big if Dr. O wants us to come to the Lab."

Hayley grabbed her keys. "I'll lock up and follow after you guys. I don't like this at all."

Meanwhile, Santa struggled against the ribbon wrapped around him. The Elves worked on the devices, while Eliza walked along the workbenches.

Sometime later, in the Dino Lab beneath Dr. Oliver's house, the rangers stood facing their fellow ranger and mentor and an elf drinking hot chocolate. Hayley sat at the computer working as fast as she could to make a portal at the North Pole.

"Once Hayley gets us a portal, you guys are going through, but you can't go morphed. You won't have any powers there, and either will Eliza. I doubt she knows that."

"So how exactly are we supposed to stop her?" Connor looked at his fellow teen rangers.

Tommy sighed. "Use your minds. You'll think of something."

The four younger rangers looked among themselves.

"I have every faith you guys will think of something."

Kira glanced at Jingle. "You aren't coming with us?"

Tommy shook his head. "I won't be too far behind you guys." He glanced over at Jingle. "The back door still there?"

Jingle nodded. "That's how I got out."

Hayley turned away from the computer. "Okay, it's as close as I could get. It's not too far." She pushed a button and a portal appeared behind the rangers.

Tommy nodded. "May the power protect you."

The four rangers turned and walked into the portal. Once they were gone, Tommy turned back toward the computer. "I really miss teleporting."

Hayley nodded. "So have you heard anything?"

Tommy sighed. "She doubts she'll make it."

"There's still a few days left."

"I'm hoping." He glanced up at the screen before him. "It depends on how things go."

Hayley nodded again as she turned towards the screen. "I've got it covered here. You go on."

Tommy pushed himself away from the computer and glanced at Jingle. "Let's get going. Hopefully, they'll have figured it out now."

Jingle nodded as Tommy stood up. "Let me know, Hayley, if anything happens around here."

Hayley glanced at him. "Will do. Be careful, Tommy."

Tommy moved with Jingle towards the portal. "I will."

Tommy glanced down at Jingle. "Ready?"

Jingle nodded. "Yes."

Tommy and Jingle walked into the portal.

Jingle is in honor of The Year Without A Santa Claus. I know I may not be completly right about somethings. I know. Just go along with it.

Review if you please.
