Chapter 1: Prelude to Unity

JUNGLE KARMA PIZZA

It had been two weeks since the Jungle Fury Power Rangers defeated Dai Shi. After Kira came back, she informed her boyfriend that she was a huge break for two months. Stryder was, of course, overjoyed at the news and invited her to stay there, to which Kira accepted.

Which came to introductions. Stryder assured his girlfriend that the others already knew who she was and promised to keep it a secret. They walked into the kitchen and Stryder's friends showed up.

"Kira, this is RJ," Stryder gestured to his master, "He owns this place."

"It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Ford," RJ said, giving a slight bow.

"Nice to meet you too," Kira greeted.

"And these are my fellow workers," Stryder continued, gesturing to the teens, "Casey, Lily, and Theo."

"Hello again," Lily said, shaking Kira's hand, "I've gotta say, I didn't believe Stryder when he told us you and him were dating!"

"Me neither," Casey agreed.

"I thought you weren't gonna tell anybody," Kira asked Stryder.

"They... Kinda figured it out..." Stryder admitted, rubbing the back of his neck, "They saw an old picture of us and recognized you."

"I'm still trying to get over the fact that Kira Ford is in the same room as us," Theo said.

"Okay, guys," Kira sighed, "I really don't feel like I should be treated like a celebrity right now. I'm on break."

"Right, sorry," Lily apologized, "It was just a little... overwhelming at first."

"It's fine," Kira said, "Is there anyone else?"

"Well," Stryder thought out loud, "There is Dom and Fran, but the two lovebirds are backpacking through Europe right now."

"Well, you can't resist a good romance, can ya?" Kira joked.

"You have no idea," Casey grumbled.

"Well, now that we have introductions out of the way," RJ said, "Let's show you the Loft."

As RJ, Stryder, and Kira went upstairs, Theo turned to Casey and Lily, "Apparently, you two aren't the only ones Stryder 'ships'."

"Oh, don't you start too!" Lily glared.

When Kira walked into the Loft, she asked, "What's with all the training equipment?"

"That's because we are also masters of Pai Zhug," RJ explained, "A martial art that lets you access your animal spirit and use it to fight."

Kira turned to Stryder, "You learned a new martial art while I was gone?"

"Yeah..." Stryder said, "You don't know the half of it..."

Kira looked at Stryder and back at RJ and noticed them swap a look.

"What are you guys hiding?" She asked.

"Umm..." Stryder scratched the back of his head, "You see... RJ, should I tell her?"

He gestured Stryder to go on.

"Okay then," Stryder took a deep breath and said, "We're Power Rangers."

Kira just stared at him, "... What?"

"Yeah, Jungle Fury to be precise. Casey, Lily, and Theo are the main three, I'm orange, RJ is the Wolf, and Dominic is the Rhino."

"...And you didn't tell me this why?"

Stryder shrugged, "We haven't really been in contact for a while..."

"Do you even know what happened a year ago?"

"What?" Stryder asked, confused.

Kira smiled, shook her head, and held out her left wrist. Stryder's eyes widened when he saw Kira's Dino Morpher.

"Wait, you got your powers back?!"

"Yep," Kira smiled proudly, "Bet you wish you still had your old powers."

Stryder stared at her and smiled, "Not really."

He raised his left wrist and revealed his Green Dino Morpher. Now it was Kira's turn to be shocked.

"What?! When did that happen?!"

"It's... A long story..."

REEFSIDE WOODS

OLIVER HOUSEHOLD

Tommy Oliver typed furiously on his computer. Though the Dino Lab had been destroyed, he managed to build another computer, with Hayley's help of course, that can detect evil energy. Right now, the computer picked up a signal. As Tommy typed, he noticed something off about the energy. It was off the charts. All he needed to do now was to pinpoint it.

He finally found it after a few minutes. It was on the move, straight towards Reefside. In fact, it seemed to be headed right for...

"Oh no," Tommy said.

He quickly got up from his chair and rushed to the window. Sure enough, Tommy saw something off in the distance flying towards his house.

Tommy ran outside and saw the thing slow down as it got closer. He saw that it was some weird pink blob. And it looked awfully familiar...

"No way..." Tommy breathed.

The blob landed ten yards in front of Tommy and it took form. When it became humanoid, it- no, he laughed.

"Ivan Ooze," Tommy sneered.

"Ah, I'm surprised you remember me!" Ooze stated, "How long has it been? A decade or two? And I see you lost some hair too."

"How did you survive?" Tommy demanded, "We kicked you into Ryan's Comet. You exploded!"

"To be honest, I thought I was dead too," Ooze said, "But a small bit of my body survived. So I floated in Earth's orbit until finally, a small meteor hit me and I landed back on planet and reformed. But now that I'm back, I look forward to getting my revenge."

Ooze cackled and Tommy got in a fighting stance. He knew there was no way he would defeat Ooze without Ranger powers, but he had to try. Ooze saw his stance and raised a hand.

"Woah, woah," he said, "Not now. I wanna do it when all of you are together. I want to see the looks on your faces as I kill you. Especially that pink one's when I kill you."

Tommy sneered again at the thought. Though Kimberly had dumped him long ago, he definitely didn't want her, or any of his old friends for that matter, to go through that kind of torture.

"Until next time, Tommy," Ooze laughed, turning back into a pink blob and flying off.

Tommy looked at the sky and glared. There was no way he was gonna let Ivan get what he wants, but he needed help.

'Time to get everyone back together,' Tommy decided.

And when he thought everyone, he meant everyone. Till next time guys!
