DISCLAIMER
Finally doesn't take place after an episode of the series. Belongs to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney.
"Hey, anyone know where Dr. O is?" asked Ethan James, the Blue Dino Ranger.
"Got me," replied Kira Ford, the Yellow Dino Ranger.
"You know, he's been disappearing a lot lately," Conner McKnight, the Red Dino Ranger and leader of the team, noted.
"Yeah. I wonder why," mused Trent Fernandez, the White Ranger. Just then, Haley Johnston, the owner of Haley's Cyber-Space, walked up to them.
"Hey, guys," she greeted.
"Hey," the Rangers responded glumly.
"What's the matter?" Haley questioned.
"Dr. O pulled another disappearing act," Conner replied.
"Oh, he's probably just in Angel Grove," Haley answered.
"Angel Grove?" repeated Conner.
"Isn't that where he became a Power Ranger?" Kira asked softly.
"Yeah," Haley nodded.
"Well, let's go!" Conner exclaimed suddenly.
"What are you talking about?" Kira wondered.
"Let's go visit!" Conner urged.
"Well, wait a minute, man! We can't just show up!" Ethan protested.
"He's right. I mean, the fact that Dr. O didn't even tell us indicates that he wants privacy," Trent agreed.
"Oh, come on. Aren't you dying to see the place where the Power Ranger legacy started?" Conner wheedled.
"Okay, okay," the others sighed. They went outside and got into Conner's red mustang, with a reluctant Haley at their heels. The leader of the Rangers started the ignition and they were on their way. Half an hour later, they saw a sign which read, WELCOME TO ANGEL GROVE, HOME OF THE POWER RANGERS.
"Wow. They got a lot of respect here," Conner noted.
"Yeah," the others agreed.
"So, where would we find Dr. O?" wondered Ethan.
"Hey, maybe those two officers will know," Kira stated, pointing to the two men in uniforms. Eugene "Skull" Skullovich and his best friend Farkus "Bulk" Bulkmeier had just completed their patrol when they saw the mustang.
"Hey, Bulkie, is it just me, or do they look lost?" Skull asked.
"Skull, I believe you're right," Bulk agreed. They walked up to the vehicle.
"Excuse us. Can we help you?" Skull asked.
"Yeah. Do you know where Tommy Oliver is?" Haley queried.
"Tyranno-Dragon Karate. Where else?" Bulk responded.
"How do we get there?" Conner asked. The two officers gave the group directions, were thanked, and the Rangers went on their way.
"Hey, Bulkie, what do you say we go meet Lt. Stone?" Skull suggested.
"Of course," Bulk responded. Then, they walked off. Finally, Conner stopped in front of a building with the words Tyranno-Dragon Karate.
"Well, here we are," he announced needlessly. Even from the parking lot, they could hear the martial art yells.
"Sounds intense," Ethan commented.
"Must have a lot of fighters today," Haley said. They walked in.
"Well, where is he?" Kira asked. Then, they heard a martial arts yell. They watched as a man wearing a red shirt spun around, executing a perfect Tornado Kick. However, their teacher expertly ducked, then lashed out with a side kick.
"Got ya," he announced.
"Good," approved the man in red. Then, counterstriking with a punch, "Got ya back." A group sitting at one of the tables laughed.
"Very funny, guys," a girl in pink teased. Haley and the Dino Thunder Rangers stared at each other in confusion. Presently, the man in red noticed the new audience.
"Hey, bro, you got company," he stated.
"Huh?" the science teacher asked. He followed his friend's gaze.
"What are you guys doing here?" Tommy asked as Kimberly, Trini, Billy, Zack, Rocky, Adam, Aiesha, and Kat walked up.
"Well, you've been pulling all these disappearing tricks lately and we got curious," Conner replied.
"Uh, Tommy, we can---" Haley started to say.
"So you're the new team," Jason commented.
"Uh, yeah," Kira responded in confusion.
"Guys, this is Kira Ford the Yellow Ranger, Ethan James the Blue Ranger, Conner McKnight the Red Ranger and leader---" Conner gave a slight nod. "And---"
"You must be Trent, the White Ranger," Jason interrupted Tommy.
"Uh, yeah, Trent Fernandez. How'd you know?" asked Trent.
"You're wearing white," Jason replied.
"Tommy told us about your ordeal. Are you okay?" Kimberly questioned.
"Yeah, it's fine. I'm fine," Trent answered. The other Rangers stared at each other.
"Okay, have you been taking denial lessons from Tommy?" Kimberly queried.
"What?" Trent asked.
"Look, Trent. You started out evil and you became good again. It takes a lot out of a Ranger," Kimberly said.
"I just---I just feel so guilty," Trent confessed.
"Don't. It wasn't your fault," Katherine assured.
"But maybe I could've---" Trent began to object.
"No. You probably couldn't," Tommy interrupted.
"How would you guys know?" Trent snapped moodily. The group stifled a laugh.
"Okay, from the video, I'm sure you heard that Tommy was Rita's evil Green Ranger," said Billy.
"Actually, Trent never saw the video," Kira responded.
"Oh," said Billy.
"But we've talked," Tommy interjected.
"And I was also used by Rita," Kat stated. "I almost destroyed one of my best friends," she continued. Kimberly patted her reassuringly on the shoulder.
"It's okay, Kat. It's okay," she comforted.
"You know, my brother taught me some ninja moves, but you guys were like, intense," Conner stated.
"Well, we are in the same range," Tommy responded.
"Although you are better with a sword," Jason reminded his friend.
"Hey, from what I've seen, you've gotten pretty good, bro," Tommy said.
"Hey, you guys gonna order something or what?" a voice called. Kimberly laughed.
"Sorry, Ernie!" she called. "Come on, guys," she continued. They walked up to counter, where Ernie was working.
"Jason, I can't thank you again for giving me this job," Ernie said.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I had an ulterior motive: I needed somebody who knew what they were doing behind the counter," Jason responded. Everyone laughed. Then, they ordered the drinks, waited a few minutes, took the beverages, walked to a table, where they sat down and conversed.
