Chapter 4: New Mission, Old Love

"Okay, well I guess that makes sense seeing as they have powers and none of the originals do. But I still have a question, how did you find out?" Jason was asking 30 minutes later, after Kim was done explaining what was going on.

"I'll explain later." Kim said while getting up and getting a work out bag. "Right now we need to talk to the dino rangers, and I'm guessing that the person to talk to would be Tommy. I take it you know where he lives. Afterward I know a gym that we can go work out at."

"Yeah, I came up here to help him move in. We'll drive in my truck. I don't think that your car would be able to get us there. Unless it has some sort of 4-wheel capacity that I don't know about." He said as he walked out the apartment door and started heading down the hallway.

"What do you mean?" Kim followed Jason out the door with a confused look on her face.

"Just throw you bag in the bed and get in I'll explain on the way." Jason got in the front. Kim followed after throwing her pink work-out bag in the bed of Jason's red dodge 4x4. "Okay, first off it seems your 'white knight' can't seem to stop changing colors. Secondly, his base is under his house so he bought one way out in the woods to keep nosey people out."

Kim looked at Jason as soon as he mentioned 'White Knight'. "First off Jase, I noticed that the style off black was familiar and figured it out. Secondly, he hasn't been my 'white knight' since that damn Letter."

"Hey, while were hear you never know what could happen. I mean you to could get back together." Jason wrapped an arm around her shoulders but kept his eyes on the road.

"That's not funny Jase." Even though she said this she couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Wow. When you said way out there I didn't expect it to be like this."

Kim took in her surroundings as Jason parked between a black jeep and a red mustang. They were literally out in the middle of no where and in front of them was the house that had been in so many dreams that it creeped her out.

"Jason, this can't be his house. This is the house that I've been dreaming about ever since our ruined snorkeling trip." She had refused to call it what it really was. A) Her turn to get turned evil and B) her chance to get back with Tommy.

"Are you sure?" Jason knew about the dreams and wanted more than anything for them to come true. After she nodded he led the way onto the porch. After waiting what felt like forever to Jason, he walked off the porch picked up a rock that was resting to the side off the gravel path and picked up the spare key. "He told me where it was if I ever needed to get in when an emergency came around. I guess he's in the basement and can't hear me knocking, so I guess this could be considered an emergency."

And with that he unlocked the door. He led Kim through the house into what looked like an office; he walked to a dinosaur model and pulled down the lower jaw. When he looked at Kim she had a look of shock on her face. "Maybe we should warn him that we're here. HEY BRO, WE'RE HERE AND WE'RE COMING DOWN WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"

TKTKTKTKTKTKTKTKTKTKTK

"HEY BRO, WE'RE HERE AND WE'RE COMING DOWN WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"

"Oh, SHIT. She had to go and call him didn't she?" Tommy wasn't alone in the basement, but he wasn't really paying attention to the fact that Ethan and Conner were there with him. "Of course, she's like in constant contact with her. He's always telling me I should get back with her."

Tommy looked around when he heard footsteps on the metal stairs that led down to his command center. Before he had a chance to hide two people entered the command center.

Conner and Ethan got in defensive potions facing the newcomers.

"You really got them trained well, Bro. I mean even you weren't that slow on the uptake." The man said obviously talking to Tommy though the two dino rangers didn't know who he was. They recognized Mrs. Hart, Kira's step sister and the new gym teacher immediately but held their positions.

"Relax, you two. I'm hoping Jason just came get his ass kicked, then leave well enough alone like he should have been doing." Tommy told the teens even though he never took his eyes off Jason.

"Um, Dr.O who is this guy and how does he know about this room?" Ethan asked.

"I, along with a few other select originals, helped build this part of the house. Not to mention he's my bro and would never keep anything from me, would you Tommy?" Jason said the last part to Tommy.

The teens had no idea what was going on but then Tommy turned to Kimberley. "Why did you call him? It's not like either of us did something wrong."

Before Kim could answer a voice from the stairs answered for her. "She didn't call Jason Dr.O. We did."

Everyone looked toward the stairs and saw Trent and Kira at the bottom. "Why did you call him? How did you even know that he knew both of us? He hasn't been here when you guys were here."

"Kim gave me the number incase something happened to her. And I figured that if you and Kim were what I think you were in high school then Jason had to know you to. So I took a chance when Kim decided not to answer her phone. By the way thanks for calling me and telling me to meet you here."

"No problem. By the way what did you think I was doing when I didn't answer?" Kim asked her step-sister.

"I knew what you were doing I just figured Jason was better at handling the two of you then me and Trent." A smile grew across Kira's face "Unless you want me to do what I've been wanting to do to the two of you since a found out. I thought it was best to call in back-up."

"What may I ask have you been wanting to do to the two of us?" Tommy asked.

Kira looked at Trent, a smile on both their faces. "Well it involves a locked room and no coming out until the two of you are civil." Trent answered.

"Okay not that I want to break up this little reunion, but Jason may I ask why you're here." Ethan asked. Conner nodded from next to him.

"Well I think Kim would be better to answer that then me, seeing as it's her story and powers." All eyes turned to Kim.

"Thanks for the spotlight idiot. Well anyway I guess now is better then never. You all might want to get comfy this is going to take a while." After everyone had found a seat, Kira and Trent leaning against a wall, Jason, Conner, and Ethan sitting on the steps that led to the computer, and Tommy sitting in the computer chair, Kim told them why she was there.

"When I left for the Pan-Globals I gave my ninjette power coin to Kat. After some time they lost that power, but because of the fact that Kat didn't have the spirit of the crane the power along with the coin returned to me. The power would have just rested inside me, except for when Jason and I were turned evil by Maligore, my powers resurfaced. I talked to Dimitria before I left about what was happening to me and she helped me get in contact with Dulcea on the plant Phaboes. That was where we received the ninjette power, so I traveled there to get training in how to control my powers. When I arrived however it was not the Phaboes I remembered it was far worse then when Ivan first tried to destroy Angel Grove." Kim took a moment to wipe tears from her eyes and then continued.

"I found Dulcea in her temple and she told me the worst thing you could ever imagine. Ivan Ooze is back and he's for revenge. He poisoned Dulcea so she can't even leave her temple grounds anymore and is slowly and painfully dieing. I convinced her to show me the way of the ninjette and have since that day become a master. When she asked me one day why you had not with me, Tommy, I was completely confused. Because what happened between us was because I had a dream that I believed was from Dulcea telling me that it was time to let you go, so I did. After all at the time I was no longer the crane and it was said that the crane and falcon will always fly together. So I figured it was talking about Kat since I had left. I told Dulcea and you wouldn't believe what she did…. She started cursing like a sailor." Tommy let out a laugh and Kim smiled through her tears, the teens looked lost so Tommy filled them in.

"If you knew Dulcea you would understand that she is to regal to curse so for her to curse is kind of astounding."

Kim went back to her tail before the others had a chance to interrupt. "When I described the dream to her she told me that it had been Ivan who had been playing on my worst fear, and used it against me and my falcon, her words not mine. After awhile she began getting worse and told me that I needed to bring back the old team. I came back to Earth and restored our frog prince, our cunning wolf, our mighty ape, and strong bear. I told the others that I wanted to do you last and not to say anything to you. That was before the new team came about, I decided that I would probably need the help of the new team so I came here hoping to found out who they were. Hoping that my step-sis hadn't been brought into it like I had. But I started to see changes in her that had also happened in all of us when we got our powers." She sighed and looked at Jason then Tommy. "That brings us to why I'm here. Now I'm tired and need to speak with Dulcea, Jason you can tell Tommy what you did."

And with that she went to the back wall of the command center and began to meditate. Tommy turned to Jason,"Please tell me you didn't do what I think you did."

"Okay then Tommy I take it you don't want to see us. Then we'll just be showing ourselves out." A new voice was added to the mix as the teen boys groaned when Kira shrieked and ran at the woman standing in the doorway.

"Hey to you to Kira. You look great. Oh by the way I brought a friend, you know our friendly neighbor hood frog boy." And with that the woman stepped aside and an Asian stepped out from the shadows.

"Kira how's my beautiful little princess? Not so little anymore I see." The man teased.

"Ha-ha, Adam. Come and meet the team." She pulled the two over to be greeted by the rest of the Dino's and Jason. "Seeing as you were on the same team I don't need to introduce you to Dr.O and Jason. Kim's meditating with Dulcea back there. And this is the new team. Conner-red, Ethan-blue, and Trent-white." She took Trent's hand and stood next to him when she said his name and looked to the African-American woman; she got an approving nod and smiled.

"And you young lady what color are you? I seem to remember there being two other rangers." The man asked.

"Okay is someone going to explain?" Conner yelled quickly getting shushed by Kira.

"Fine this is Adam Park, black Mighty Morphin', green Zeo and Turbo ranger and Aisha DeSantos, yellow Mighty Morphin' and Zeo." Kira explained "And you know what color I am, Adam. Just like you know what color Dr.O is."

"Okay while you explained who they are, not what their doing here." Conner said.

"You defiantly are the Rocky/Jason type, slow on the uptake but quick in a fight." Adam chuckled at the mention of his best friend. "Question is do you have the appetite?"

"Adam, are you trying to see him eat me out of house and home? He already eats enough of my food," Tommy said with a smirk "though I will say this much I'm glad it's him and not rocky here. Then In would be some real trouble."
