Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers

A/N: Here's some action, finally. To those who reviewed (Both of you), you rock. Thank you. And all of y'all with the story on alert that don't give me reviews...I see you. Come on, humor me. Please?

Trini appeared in the Command Center next to Zack, who was in the middle of a fit of laughter. Looking around she could see Billy leaning against a console and Jason sitting on one, both laughing their heads off as well. She grinned as she looked at Kimberly, who was standing there with her arms crossed, looking obviously frustrated. Next to her was Tommy, arms crossed and trying to hold in a huge grin. Trini just smiled, a little disappointed that she had just missed the scene.

"Rangers," Zordon's booming voice echoed throughout the Command Center, as they all got serious, looking up at the giant floating head. "Lord Zedd has unleashed his newest monster. Observe the viewing globe."

The six Rangers turned and looked at the viewing globe as the newest monster appeared. Jason was still smiling from hearing Kimberly's little story, but had to keep a bit of a smile when he thought about how this was just a routine by now. Then he remembered. Tommy's in charge now. Jason thought about how bad he felt after accidentally giving out orders yesterday after the battle. He really wasn't trying to disrespect Tommy, but he just wasn't used to this. To be perfectly honest, he was a bit mad over the whole deal. But he would never say anything about it. He shook his thoughts, looking at the newest monster. It was a humanoid shaped monster, only covered in feathers. Instead of arms, it just had massive wings, and it had a bird's head too. All around another ugly, basic Zedd monster. Jason was starting to get a little disappointed.

"This is the Ice Hawk, Rangers." Zordon said. How creative, Zedd. "He attacks by flapping bursts of freezing wind at his foes. It is very powerful." Uh huh. "Also, the feathers on his wings are razor sharp, be careful not to be slashed by them. Go now, Rangers. And let the Power protect you." Jason nodded, stepping up next to Tommy without even realizing it.

"It's morphin' time!" Jason and Tommy both yelled at the same time as the team reached for their morphers.

No way was Tommy going to let this one slide, and he stepped forward a bit, trying again. "Morphin time!"

Jason shoved his way past Tommy, he wasn't about to take it either. "Morphin' TIME!!!"

Tommy was getting pretty aggravated now, so he forced his way past Jason once again, almost knocking him over in the process. "MORPHINTIMETIGERZORD!!!" Tommy screamed as loud as he could, going through the motions with his morpher as fast as he could, and teleported out after morphing. It was quiet before the rest of the team pulled out their morphers and continued.

"Mastodon!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Saber Tooth Tiger!"

"TYRANNOSAROUS!!!" Alpha jumped a little bit from Jason's couple extra decibels on that one.

Alpha and Zordon just watched as the Red Ranger teleported out last, like always. It was quiet for a minute before Alpha finally spoke. "Aye yi, yi, yi...Zordon..."

"I know, Alpha. I know." Zordon said slowly.

David had decided against going home. He found himself sitting in the park now, on one of the benches, in deep thought. He was thinking back to that scene at the youth center. He had been such a complete fool. How convenient that all three of them managed to get out of there and leave me alone. They hate me. They hate me for no reason! They're just like everyone else! David thought as he stood up, and started walking back and forth. No, no they don't. If Kim's really pregnant, they don't need the new guy around for everything. But I don't want to be the new guy! I want to be included in the group. What do I have to do? David just sighed and sat back down, burying his face in his hands. He was so tired of being the loner that no one liked. He just wanted to fit in. He looked up, and was shaken from his thoughts by the sight of people running away in terror. David shook his head, stunned. What was going on? Was this one of the monster attacks Angel Grove was so famous for? Seeing several gray colored...things...and a freakish bird monster he had to assume so. The gray warriors began running at him, and he could only brace himself for a fight. Let's see what Angel Grove's all about... He thought as they neared him.
What the hell was that all about? Kimberly Hart appeared next to her boyfriend Tommy Oliver in Angel Grove park, alongside their other friends. But none of the fleeing citizens knew it was her. All they saw was the Pink Ranger standing among the other Power Rangers. The Rangers scanned the area, looking around for their target, but Kimberly couldn't help but wonder just what had happened between Tommy and Jason back at the Command Center. Had they really just fought over who started off the morphing? Not only that, but fought like five year olds over it?

"There he is!" The Blue Ranger's voice jarred her from her thoughts, and she turned along with the other Rangers to face the Ice Hawk and his horde of Putties. The usual. Wait, no, something was different.

"Guys, look!" Kimberly pointed a bit to the right, where several Putties had a boy, about their age, and were dragging him over to the cliff. The boy himself wasn't putting up a fight, obviously pummeled into submission before they were able to arrive.

"Trini! Get that kid! Everyone else, let's go!" Tommy yelled, and the six Rangers charged into battle.

Trini ran full speed at the Putties, only to have a blast of ice slam into the ground in front of her, causing her to stop to avoid being hit by it. The Ice Hawk flapped its wings to release another icy blast at the Yellow Ranger, but Jason and Zack charged into him, knocking him away. Trini ran towards the Putties, but it was too late, they had already thrown this kid over the edge. Ignoring the Putties altogether, Trini ran past them and dove over the edge of the cliff and into the water after him.

The Ice Hawk let out a roar of pain as the Red and Black Rangers knocked it away, but turned to them with a new rage. It ran forwards at the Rangers, taking a swing with its razor sharp wings. Jason was a bit too fast, and ducked underneath it, moving behind the Ice Hawk in the process, and with its back totally exposed, Jason had a free shot. The Red Ranger slammed his right foot into the monster's back, throwing it forwards. Billy and Kimberly ran up to join Zack, and the three of them quickly pulled out their blade blasters, hitting the monster with all they had as it was thrown forwards at them. Tommy finally leaped over the three of them, landing near the monster and throwing a swift kick to it's gut. The White Ranger then drew his sword and unleashed a flurry of slashes, forcing the Ice Hawk to leap backwards and put some distance between itself and the Rangers.

"Not bad!" The Red Ranger yelled as the Rangers all formed up, standing side by side. And of course, with perfect timing, one of Lord Zedd's grenade style devices hit the ground near his monster, causing it to grow to a considerable height.

The five of them stepped backwards, looking up at their adversary. "Where's Trini!?" Tommy demanded quickly. Neither Megazord was going to be much use without a right leg.

"She dove after that boy!" Zack answered, stepping back as the Ice Hawk headed off towards downtown.

"...Dammit!" Tommy yelled as he watched it head off, his mind searching for answers.

Jason shook his head. He knew he had to give Tommy a break. After all, this was his second time in charge. But they needed to take action now. So he spoke up. "Zack, Kim, and Billy! Go find Trini and make sure she's alright. Me and Tommy'll go after that thing. Meet up as soon as possible!"

"Right!" The the three of them yelled as they took off.

Tommy said nothing, but looked to Jason, who looked back. Tommy wasn't sure if he should thank him or tell him he had it under control, so he just decided to put it on the back burner and worry about the real problems.

"Alright. I need Tigerzord power, now!" Tommy yelled, spinning Saba around as he summoned his Zord.

"Tyrannosaurs Red Dragon ThunderZord Power!" Jason yelled, doing the appropriate hand motions. He always wondered if they were necessary, but today, like every other day, didn't really give him the time to experiment.

The two of them leaped into their Zords, and Jason converted the Red Dragon ThunderZord into battle mode, saddled up on the White Tiger, and the two of them charged downtown after the Ice Hawk. Jason had to admit, this was his favorite part about Tommy's new Zord

Trini ran onto the shore, carrying David. She had been stunned to see that he was the one the Putties had beaten up. What was he doing out here? They had left him at the youth center. She figured (and hoped) that he would've stayed there at least a while longer. Trini set him down on his back on the sand, checking his pulse. Nothing. No way. Trini wasn't going to lose him. She looked around and picked David back up, heading over to the side of the cliff, where there was more cover from any random person passing by. Even though there weren't many people taking a stroll down the beach during a monster attack. Trini quickly set him back down, looking around to make sure no one was in the area. Satisfied, Trini took off her helmet, and began to administer CPR to David. She didn't even notice when Zack, Billy, and Kim arrived. She also didn't notice when David woke up.

"Tr...Yellow!" Kim's voice shook her from her trance.

Trini scrambled for her helmet, accidentally knocking it off the rock she had set it on. It rolled down the beach, and without thinking, she looked back down, making eye contact with David.

"...Trini...?" David asked slowly, as he got his focus back. "Trini!"

"Um...hi David." Was all that came out. Crap! What was she supposed to do here? Billy quickly tossed her the helmet that she had knocked away, and she quickly replaced it. "Are you alright?" A weak attempt to change the subject.

"You're...a Power Ranger?" David couldn't believe it. Sure, he barely knew her, but still.

"Zordon. We've got a problem." Zack's voice shook Trini and David from their trances, and they looked at the Black Ranger, who was talking into his communicator. David looked at the Pink Ranger standing next to him, and the Blue Ranger behind Trini, arms crossed. He couldn't help but wonder if the Rangers were the rest of Trini's friends. It sure made sense, and the numbers fit...

"Report to the Command Center. All four of you. Bring David." Zordon answered. Trini noticed just how concise he had been, probably not a good sign.

"Oh, shit." David didn't realize he said it out loud. What were they going to do? Kidnap him? Erase him memory? Kill him? He started to crawl backwards, stopped by Trini putting her hand on his leg.

"It's ok, David. Trust us." Trini told him. David slowly but silently nodded, and the five of them disappeared into streaks of light.
