Green with Rage.
Chapter 4: Legacy of Power
"This is bad," Kira stated as the four teens were gathered in Doctor Oliver's basement Ranger Lab.
"Yes Hunter I am sure, something is not right!" Neve said into the phone as she paced, David perched on her hip. She was almost in hysterics. Her parents were missing and even Hayley couldn't find them, though she had promised not to stop looking after leaving for the cafe before the Rangers appeared.
"Is Neve going to be okay?" Conner asked his girlfriend who seemed almost as hysterical as his other female friend and the girl he had begun to view as a little sister. Sometimes it was hard to remember that Neveah was only fourteen soon to be fifteen because of how much older she appeared and sounded. She could easily pass for eighteen if she wanted to.
"I think she's okay for now, Hunter seems to be helping," Kira said as she wrung her hands together. This was not how she pictured her Friday afternoon.
"This is way bad!" Ethan added. "It's like crashing after getting to level nine of SNSW."
"Huh?" Conner frowned, not getting the abbreviation.
"Super Ninja Space Wars," Neve explained, as she hung up her cell phone and switched David onto her left hip. He was getting heavily every day.
"How do you know that?" Ethan inquired.
"My best friends are four boys and a girl and Hunter isn't allergic to video games no matter what he wants people to think," Neve clarified smiling slightly though it did not reach her eyes and seemed sort of fake.
"Okay look, don't you think we're getting a little too freaked out about this?" Conner asked.
"Conner, usually I might agree with you but my parents would never disappear and leave me and Davie alone. They'd have told me if they were going somewhere for a night and even then they wouldn't have both gone. No something stinks, and it isn't the tuna casserole my Grandma Hart made a few days ago," Neve said.
"They didn't come to my gig and he missed a whole day of school without a word today," Kira finished. "I'd say we've achieved the right level of freaking out."
"I guess there's only one way to find out what the good doctor and Ms. Kim has been up to," Ethan shrugged walking over to Tommy's computer and typing away. A moment later a few beeps were heard and Tommy's face appeared onscreen. "I'm in."
"Yeah, but where?" Kira inquired.
"I'm Tommy Oliver, if you're not me then something is seriously wrong." The Tommy onscreen stated, and the teens' eyes widened. Neve's for a completely different reason, something told this could end badly for her secret.
"This video diary is a confidential record. Only to be viewed in case of an emergency. What you're about to see is a history of my life."
"Boring Dinosaur bones stories, yawn." Conner rolled his eyes as he said this and Neve sighed. What was her father thinking?
"My history - as a Power Ranger."
"Okay," Conner's eyes widened with the others, though Neve's did not as she tried to calm a slightly upset Davie. He was sobbing softly but wasn't full blown crying, thank god. She simply sighed knowing what was coming."Un-yawn."
"My story begins in Angel Grove, where five teens with attitude were recruited to fight the evil sorceress; Rita Repulsa. They harnessed the power of Dinosaurs to become Earth's first Power Rangers..." They all watched as the scenes replayed in front of them.
In an odd-looking place with a circle of super computer, five teens were teleported in through separate colored beams. There was Black, Pink, Red, Yellow and Blue. Looking around the five teens frowned, and a deep voice spoke to them from somewhere.
It told them that the time of their destiny was upon them and gave them the power to transform into Power Rangers. As the beams of light covered them, one-by-one, Trini, Zack, Jason, Kimberly and Billy transformed into their uniforms, all different colors.
The Dino Thunder Rangers and Neve all recognized a younger Kimberly and they all noticed that Neve did look like her but seemed to take more after her father with her darker hair and eyes and skin color which was more of a light olive color.
"Where's Dr. O?" Conner frowned.
"Just wait for it," Neve said and Kira looked at her.
"You don't seem surprised by this Neve," Kira stated and Neve smiled at her friend.
"Cause I'm not." This was all Neve said on the subject as the video continued.
The teens left the base, teleported by the intergalactic being Zordon, they found themselves downtown, and were soon pulled into a fight against silver-colored creatures. Watching from afar, Rita Repulsa was evidently furious, and decided that things would not go any further if she could not harness power like the Rangers.
Later, at school, Kimberly stood by her locker and noticed a green-clad individual walk by whom she did not recognize. "Hey!" she called, making him turn around. "Um…I'm Kimberly. You're new around here aren't you?"
"Yeah," he nodded, walking over to shake hands. "I'm Tommy."
"What's going on?" Tommy yelled as winds picked up in the alley, throwing trash bags and all sorts of things around him.
"Tommy!" a woman shrieked and he looked up onto a building rooftop to see Rita Repulsa herself, grinning down at him. "I have chosen you!"
As she cackled maniacally, she pointed her staff towards him, embedding volts of power into his body that he tried to resist, but couldn't. He was engulfed by the beam and disappeared.
"This boy is truly the one who will become my evil Ranger!" Rita yelled, teleporting to her moon base and looking down upon a small arena. "Arise my Evil Green Ranger!"
In a flash of green light, Tommy reappeared, his eyes glowed briefly for a moment before he looked up at her. "How can I serve my empress?"
"No way!" Kira yelled in shock, as they saw Tommy in his Green Ranger suit attacking his friends.
"She commanded me to destroy the Power Rangers," Tommy's voice came in over the speakers again as they watched him fight against the other Rangers. "And I almost succeeded."
"I know you're the Green Ranger," Kimberly stated, giving Tommy a worried and pained expression when he snapped forward in his workout machine, glaring.
"Well then Pink Ranger," Tommy seethed, "you should also know that you, and the other Power Rangers will soon be destroyed." and Kimberly gave him a shocked and pained looked.
The Rangers were once again at war on the battlefield, and Jason put all his power into throwing his power-charged sword at Tommy. The Green Ranger cried out and collapsed from the blast, powering down as the others did.
"Rita's spell is broken!" Zack cried triumphantly as Tommy got to his feet, shaken but clearly free of the angry and hateful aura he'd possessed since becoming Rita's Ranger. Jason rushed over, helping him up.
"You okay Tommy?" he asked.
"What's happened to me?"
"You're no longer under Rita's power," Jason told him. "Fight by our side and we can defeat Rita."
"After everything that's happened?" Tommy inquired as the others ran over.
"Tommy, we need you," the Red Ranger explained. "It's where you belong. Will you join us?"
With a glance at Kimberly, who nodded happily, a smile formed on Tommy's lips as he shook hands with Jason.
"And that's when I joined the team," Tommy's voice was back to narrate. "But not for long. I soon discovered the Green Ranger powers were only temporary."
The four teens watched with interest as Tommy disappeared in a shower of green energy, and Zordon explained to the other five Rangers that the Green Ranger was gone and never coming back. He then told them he'd created a new and more powerful Ranger to help defeat their bad guy, and in a bright light a White Ranger appeared.
He unclasped his helmet and the Rangers both onscreen and off gasped as he revealed himself to be Doctor Tommy Oliver. "Guess who's back?" the White-clad Tommy grinned.
Then, the video paused, and they all turned to Ethan.
"What did you do that for?" Kira asked.
"Dude, I'm so bugging I can't even deal," Ethan stated.
"Our teacher, is like the oldest living Power Ranger," Conner was amazed, and the others nodded their agreement.
"Not the oldest," someone said and Neve finished for her.
"Just the best."
They all turned to the entrance of the base to see Hayley standing there, looking kind of on the not-so-pleased side but it changed as Hayley smiled at Neve and held out her hands for Davie. Neve let the older woman take him and
"Hayley?" Kira asked confused.
"How did you get in here?" Conner inquired as the teens walked over to her.
"More to the point," Kira stated. "What do you know about any of this?"
"I know that Tommy and Kim are in trouble," Hayley told them. "And you four are the only ones who can help them."
"Four...Hayley you know I can't..." Neve trailed off and Hayley smiled and nodded.
"I know but I may have a alternative," Hayley told the younger girl who blinked in confusion.
"And…you know this because…?" Kira trailed off, frowning as she wondered what the two were talking about.
"I've been helping Tommy prepare the Ranger energy since Grad School," Hayley explained. "I mean, who do you think built the morphers?"
"Let me guess...you did?" Conner asked and Hayley nodded.
"I did. Because, Tommy may be good with fossils and Dinosaurs, but a rocket scientist – he ain't."
"And you are?" Conner inquired.
"Among other things," Hayley nodded.
"Okay, so you know who we are," Kira began. "You know what we are. D'you where Doctor Oliver is?"
"I think I have a pretty good idea," Hayley replied, walking over to the computer and getting a disc from her bag with the Dinosaur-print emblem the base and their uniforms sported, but not before handing David back to Neve who walked over to a play pen and placed him on the pillows and soft blankets in there. Putting it into the computer, another screen flickered to life in front of Hayley. "This is a surveillance tape from yesterday, during your music gig."
They watched as Tommy and Kimberly fought Tyrannodrones together before being teleported away.
"Why didn't they just morph?" Conner frowned. "I mean, he's a Power Ranger."
"Not anymore," Hayley shook her head. "Or didn't you get that far?"
Typing away she brought up the video diary again, which picked up where it had left off and Tommy's voice played through the speakers.
"A new villain, Lord Zedd, was destroying Earth. And with three Rangers leaving, a new power source had to be found."
They watched as the Rangers found a glowing sword, and then as Zordon teleported in three teens, sporting themes of yellow, black or red. Tommy, still morphed as the White Ranger but without a helmet on, turned and smiled at the sight of the newcomers.
"Rocky! Adam! Aisha!" Tommy grinned.
"Isn't this incredible?" Aisha smiled, and boys behind her nodded.
After this, Trini, Zack and Jason stepped forward, placing their hands upon the sword that transferred their powers to the new Rangers as they powered down and the new Rangers morphed into their new suits.
They watched the screen as Rita and Lord Zedd created a huge version of the monster, and the new Ranger team powered up to form their Megazord. After a tough battle, they lost, and the Rangers powered down and out in time to watch as their Zords were destroyed and their powers were lost to them.
"A Ranger never gives up. Zordon sent us on a quest to find Ninjor, a warrior from the past who showed us the secrets of the ancient Ninja."
Neve smiled as she watched this and remembered her own animal spirit, it was to bad she couldn't call on that power yet.
"We gained new weapons, new Zords, and, new enemies."
In amazed silence, they watched the history unfold from the time as the Ninjas, to Zeo Rangers, and to the Turbo Rangers. They then watched as Tommy gave up his position as did his friends, to a full new team of Turbo Rangers. At least all except for the Blue Ranger at the time.
At this, Hayley paused. "After that, Tommy went to college where he met yours truly," she explained. "But when he found the Dino Gems, he knew he could never escape the power for long."
"Seeing as I don't want this to be the end of the line can we get back on subject of finding Dr.O?" Ethan inquired.
"How about Invisiportals? They're all around town," Kira asked and Hayley smiled.
"I've been working on that very thing," Hayley nodded. "Unfortunately, I need just a little more time."
"Okay so, what are we supposed to do while you're doing that?" Conner asked.
"Here," Hayley stated, bringing up a screen for her work and a large one for the video diary.
"While I'm doing this, watch more of your heritage," Hayley stated. "You might learn something."
After watching the Space Rangers, Galaxy Rangers and Lightspeed Rescue Rangers, Hayley paused it again.
"Hey!" Ethan cried. "I was watching that!"
"Sorry, but I've got something," she explained.
"You found them?" Conner asked.
"Please tell me you found them," Neve said as she leaned over Hayley's other side.
"Almost. I've got a lock on the backdoor to Mesogog's firewall. In theory, it should lead us straight to an invisiportal."
"Then what?" Kira as as she frowned.
"I'll let you know when I get there," Hayley told them. A few minutes later, after finishing the Lightspeed Ranger section of the video, her research went offline, an error forming on the screen.
"Either I'm losing my touch; or Mesogog is really smart for a mutant freak."
"Great, that's all we need, a smart villain," Neve said as she spoke from experience. Most villains were pretty smart but some where simply to smart for their own good. Rita Repulsa, Astronema, Lothor, herself, just to name a select few. Suddenly the screen came back into life with more video diary.
"What's it doing?" Ethan asked.
"It's retrieving more Ranger history," Hayley stated.
"More? How many were there before us?" Kira exclaimed.
"A lot," Hayley confirmed, and though none of them noticed, Neve looked around at them nervously. What would they think after they saw this, she was bound to be in there. If she wasn't she'd be surprised though she also wondered how her father got this footage and a bit ashamed that her father had witnessed her at her worst.
"Nice spaceship," Ethan chuckled, as a huge round ship crash-landed into a rock-face. When the brunette onscreen told a blonde-haired guy that she and her friends were from the year 3000, Ethan pressed the pause button. "Whoa, hold up. There are Power Rangers from the future?"
"They're down with time travel and everything, right? Couldn't they take us back to the moment Tommy and Kimberly were kidnapped?" Kira asked and Neve sighed, if only it could be that easy.
"Why, so we could watch it happen all over again?" Conner scoffed, receiving pointed stares from the other Rangers and Neve. "Oh! So we can stop them…got it…"
"It's worth a shot," Kira stated. "Let's see if this thing tells us how to reach them."
"We're trying to recapture a gang of mutants that escaped through time and take them back with us," Jen sighed as she turned to face Wes. "We think you may be the only one who can unlock these morphers so we can defeat them."
Although unsure about this, he felt a strong sense of trust towards these four strangers, and nodded as he stood in a circle of Jen, Katie, Trip and Lucas. Smiling, Jen held out a morpher towards him. "It's yours."
"Whoo!" he cried happily, taking the morpher and slapping it onto his wrist.
"DNA confirmed," the morpher's automated voice told them.
Wes nodded, placing his wrist into a circle with the other four, as his reacted and gave pink, green, blue and yellow beams of light from the source of his own red one. They then stood in a line, with Jen at the center, directing them.
"Ready?" she inquired, and they all nodded.
"TIME FOR, TIME FORCE!" they yelled together, morphing into their Ranger suits.
"Rangers from the future chased the mutant criminals through time," Tommy's voice narrated and they watched as Eric, joined their ranks and became the Quantum Ranger. "It took awhile for Eric to learn that the greatest virtue of being a Ranger is not the Power, but the reward of helping mankind."
"That was sick," Ethan said as he grinned.
"But not helpful, I agree," Neve said and frowned.
"Okay so, what about all the other Rangers?" Conner stated. "I mean there must be, hundreds of them all over the place."
"Couldn't we team-up and scout all over the city?" the Red Ranger went on and Neve shook her head.
"Its not that easy, most Rangers don't have their powers anymore. And some, didn't even want them to begin with," Neve responded shaking her head as she thought of her own time as Ranger. In the beginning she had not wanted to be a Ranger much less evil and she had thought in the beginning of quitting but staying a Ranger seemed the only real option. She had learned to love the thrill of helping others instead of destroying them.
"Cole joined, and the Wild Force Rangers used spirits of the ancient animals to fight the evil Org, creatures determined to conquer Earth, through pollution and destruction. The final member to join the team was Merrick, the Lunar Wolf."
"I know there was at least one other team, they had someone named Cam Wantanabe, he was more of genius about this stuff then me," Hayley said.
"Try typing in Ninja Storm," Conner said and they all looked at him in shock and Neve seemed even more nervous then anything.
"What?" Conner frowned. "My twin brother goes to this super secret Ninja Academy, where everyone knows a few of the students there were chosen to be Power Rangers." Neve blinked at the boy and shook her head. So it wasn't her imagination, Eric was his brother.
"Your brother was a Power Ranger?" Ethan asked in awe.
"Naw, he couldn't even finish Ninja School, he's like a total airhead," Conner said as he chuckled. "We are so different."
"Uh-huh," Kira smirked, and Conner smirked back and brought the shorter yellow clad girl into side.
"Hey, I found it," Hayley said obviously shocked and Neve sighed. She didn't want them to find out like this but maybe it was for the best.
"These, are your Power Ranger Wind Morphers," Cam Watanabe stated as he opened a box to reveal three morphers, each with different power discs fitted into them. One was red and in the shape of wings, another was blue and the shape of a fin, and the third was yellow in the shape of a Lion's mane.
"Yeah right," a girl scoffed, while a guy gasped.
"YES! See I knew it dude! I was right! Power Rangers are real!" an excited voice laughed as someone's hand reached forward to grasp the yellow morpher. As two other hands took the red and blue morphers, a guinea pig spoke.
"From this point you will be known as the Wind Power Rangers," he told them, and as the camera panned upwards, it settled on the faces of a short girl with blonde hair, a tall guy with black hair and a guy with curly brown hair, who was still grinning excitedly.
Neve smiled, she had always wondered how they got their powers.
"Three unlikely Ninja students commanded the power of Earth, Air and Water. But it was the power of Thunder that gave them one of their biggest challenge…"
As Dustin, Tori and Shane fought creatures as the Wind Ninja Rangers, they were suddenly attacked by two other Rangers, one Navy Blue and one Crimson, who rode past on motorcycles of their own color, blasting at them wildly with electricity.
"Let's show these posers how it's done," the Crimson Ranger grinned.
A door in Ninja Ops opened as the Navy and Crimson Rangers walked in, holding a defenseless Cam before them. Dustin, Shane and Tori arrived, skidding to a stop and taking up a fighting stance.
Their faces dropped as the Evil Rangers powered down, revealing a short guy with black hair and a tall guy with dirty blonde hair.
"Blake? Hunter?" Tori frowned, her stance falling completely.
"Leave him," the Crimson Ranger growled, tossing Cam forward to the other Rangers. "We have what we want." he said and they were gone.
Kira paused the video as she turned to Neve.
"Hunter? As in your boyfriend Hunter?" Kira asked and Ethan and Conner looked at the girl in shock as she bit her lip and nodded.
"Yeah they're the same..." she trailed off and Kira sighed.
"So is that how you know about all of this, your boyfriend was a Ranger?" Kira asked and Conner snorted.
"Not only any Ranger but a evil one as well," Conner said and Neve sighed.
"Not exactly, finish watching and you'll understand," Neve told them and hit play.
"It wasn't until the arrival of the Pink Ranger that they were really challenged, for not only did they have to find a way to save their potential teammate from Lothor but survive her war path," Tommy said and they all could tell his voice had hit a new low and sounded sad and slightly depressed.
"Hey Tori, who's your friend?" Shane asked and Tori turned to Neve and then her friends.
"Guys this is Neveah Oliver, she just moved here with her mom. Neve these are my best friends – well two of them – Shane and Dustin," Tori said and Neve smiled and waved a little.
"It's nice to meet you both."
"So is it just you and your mom?' Dustin asked and Tori glared a little as if it was the most insensitive thing he could say and Shane hit him in the arm. Neve laughed and nodded.
"For now, my dad is on business and when it is settled we'll be moving to Reefside. Most likely this fall," she replied and they nodded as they began walking around the park.
"Sorry about Dustin, he doesn't have a full brain at times," Tori said and she nodded.
"It's okay..." she said but interrupted from saying anything else by three beeping noises. They each covered their wrists and Neve looked at them in confusion.
"I'm Sorry Neve we have something we have to do. Maybe we can get together tomorrow and you can meet Hunter and Blake?" Shane asked and Neve smiled and nodded. The three wind rangers nodded back and took off leaving a slightly confused Neveah behind. Kicking a rock Neve sighed and continued walking only to come to a stop when two black and red things grabbed her. She gasped and kicked the one in front of her before yanking her arm out of one of the kelzacks grip.
"Get off me!" Neve yelled and ducked ones attack and punch it in the chest and elbowed the other one which held her. Five more appeared and before she had time to do anything three grabbed her and the next thing she knew she was in a dark space ship like throne room.
"Welcome to my ship my dear," a deep voice said from in front of her and she looked at the black clad man in front of her. She gasped.
"Who are you?"
The scene changed this time to show a battle. staring at the new Ranger in front of them. She was decked in a nearly identical spandex to Tori but in Pink and a shield that looked vaguely familiar with a coin in the center with some sort of bird in the middle and the same coin was in her morpher and helmet. She held two pink fans with some sort of orange-gold symbol in the middle which Tori thought might be for the Element and two red-orange-gold phoenixes in flight on either side, and a dagger at her side. She stood in front of them a few feet away as still as a statue.
"Who are you?" Tori asked. The Pink Ranger smirked behind her helmet which was pretty much the same visor shape as Tori's if not more pointed and angular then the Blue Ranger's.
"I'm your worst nightmare!" she said, her voice low and softly cold yet noticeably evil. It sent shivers down each of the Rangers spins. They knew instantly as this new Ranger stood calmly in front of them like she was simply staring at a painting how dangerous this would be. She finally did move, snapping her right fan up in front of her and giving the come hither motion with it. It didn't take long before the Thunder Ninja's attacked first. She was effective at dodging their blows and blocking their weapons with her two bladed fans. She finally slashed them across the chest and spun away slashing them again in the back as she spun to face them – as graceful as a dance.
"Blake, Hunter!" the wind ninja's yelled moving forward as the two brothers were shot with a pink and gold energy from the fan as she slashed a large 'x' into the air in front...well behind them, and flew forward twisting in the air and crashing down hard. The Pink Ranger laughed, an evil laugh as she turned and moved forward and slashed each ranger calmly and collectively before moving one of her fans in a slashing motion multiple times and flicking her fan at them.
"Pink Spirit Fans, Phoenix blades...fire!" she called and the pink and gold blades left from her motions released and hit them directly and they all flew back and hit the ground, the wind rangers demorphed instantly as they tried to get up and groaned in pain. The Thunder Rangers were barely staying morphed or able to stand. Hunter growled and slashed his arm in annoyance.
"That's it! Thunder Blaster!" he called and ran forward firing the blaster which she waited to the last moment to pulled out the pink, gold and black dagger which was a replica of the dragon dagger except for the pink round gem where a etched version of the dragon coin would be at the hilt. She brought it to her helmet and began to play it instantly and as the blast hit her it was absorbed into her suit or more accurately her phoenix shield.
The five Rangers, three demorphed, all gasped as she began to play louder and her shield glowed pink and crimson before the blast left her and hit them. As they all flew back and hit the ground Hunter and Blake demorphed and Tori and the others gasped and groaned in pain having not been morphed to take the blunt of it. The Pink Ranger laughed.
"I'll let you live for now Rangers," she said and began walking off passing Hunter on the way. She stopped short though as Hunter groaned and grabbed her ankle. She looked down at him and waited.
"Wh-why?" he asked and she chuckled.
"I'm evil, lets leave it at that Crimson Ranger," she said and shook him off before leaving. Once she was away from them and back on Lothor's ship she knelt down and demorphed. She then looked up at him, her eyes flashing a rich pink.
"My lord," Neve spoke.
The three teens and even Hayley watched in surprise, horror and shock as the girl they thought they had known turned out to be a former Ranger and evil to boot. They watched multiple battles between her and the Rangers and they all silently agreed they did not want to be on Neve's bad side. They watched as Hunter found out it was Neve behind the Pink Ranger's helmet and his determination to free her of the spell.
"Neve was their greatest enemy next to Lothor and in the end their greatest ally. They would have to fight her once more after the spell was broken but like before it was love and teamwork that got her back to where she belonged," Tommy narrated as they watched as Hunter and Shane freed Neve of the spell.
"It's time you became good again." Neve glared from behind her helmet.
"I don't think so," Neve spat and Shane dropped into a fighting stance and the battle between the red and Pink rangers started. It lasted for what felt like ever, blows exchanged between them and finally Neve was able to force Shane to the ground where she laughed and readied the sword of destruction for its final strike.
"In the name of my Lord!" she cried and raised it to stab Shane with who glared up his friend but Hunter was faster and blasted the sword out of her hands with the thunder blaster, knocking Neveah onto her back and she rolled over and groaned. Shane was quick to get up and looking at Hunter who now had his personal weapon in hand they both aimed and destroyed the sword together.
Neve demorphed as did the other rangers and she looked up at Shane and Hunter, guilt clear in her eyes along with Tears.
"What have I done?" she asked and Hunter helped her up.
"You weren't yourself. You were someone else, fight with us and avenge yourself," Hunter said and smiled down at her. Neve could hardly believe this sweet boy..man would be able to forgive her after everything she'd done.
Neveah nodded, and took Shane's hand of offered friendship. "Thanks."
Blake smiled. "Welcome to the team, sis," he said, clapping the younger girl on the shoulder and Neve blinked as she looked at the boy.
"Huh?" she asked. Blake and the others laughed as Hunter blushed a bit.
"You figure it out eventually. So you with us?" he asked.
"Yeah, Lothor is going to pay for this!" Neve stated and they stood together and Shane looked at each of them.
"Ready?" he asked and they nodded.
"Ninja Storm!"
"Thunder Storm!"
"Spirit Storm!"
"Ranger Form, Ha!" They all cried and stood in their stances.
"Power of Air!"
"Power of Earth!"
"Power of Water!"
"Power of Thunder!"
"Power of Spirit!"
"Power Rangers!" they all called.
The scence changed and they watched the final battle. "You cannot stop me without your Powers, Rangers!"Lothor said laughing and The Wind rangers pushed themselves to their feet again and stood in front of Cam and the Thunders. "We may not be Power Rangers!" Shane said in a low voice. "but we still have Power! - Power of Air!"
"Power of Earth!"
"Power of Water!"
"Ninja Powers!" the three of them commanded as the tips of their fingers glowed. Red, Blue and Yellow before they pointed towards Lothor as winds picked up around him. They lifted the Space Ninja off his feet and it struggled to over power him. Neve let go of Hunter's arm and stood at Dustin's side and did her own motions.
"Power of Spirit!" she cried and the light pink light emitted from her finger tips and shot toward Lothor. He yelled as the power combination hit sending him hurtling into the depths of the Abyss, which imploded and disappeared leaving a clear, calm clearing behind. The Rangers all sighed and Tommy and Kim cam out of their safe spot to watch the battle. Tommy wrapped his arms around his daughter and pulled her into a hug.
"I am so proud of you," he said and kissed her forehead.
"We are proud of all of you," Kim said looking at the Rangers – former Rangers. Neve pulled back from her father and went to Hunter, hugging him tightly afraid he'd disappear.
"What happened? How did -" Neve asked, pointing to the abyss.
"Lothor's evil...it must have over-powered the Abyss," Blake said.
"Causing it to implode on itself," Cam added agreeing with the Navy Thunder Ninja.
"So he's gone?" Dustin asked. "Really gone?"
Cam nodded. "I believe so."
Hunter raised his arm and looked at his morpher. "And our Ranger powers?"
"Their gone too," Shane answered, looking at his own morpher.
The video was paused again and they all looked at Neve eyes wide.
"You were a Power Ranger!" Ethan exclaimed.
"An Evil Power Ranger...twice!" Conner asked.
"And you didn't tell us!" Kira finished and crossed her arms. Neve sighed.
"I'm sorry guys, I just didn't want you to think differently of me. I mean I'm not proud of my past – of how I started out. Unlike you guys I didn't start out the hero," Neve told them and the three sighed. Kira came forward and hugged the younger girl before pulling back.
"We..I understand. You've been through a lot, I'm just glad your on our side," Kira said and Neve chuckled. She looked over at the boys who smiled as well.
"We understand, thought we would have preferred if you'd have told us, we understand," Conner said and Ethan nodded.
"So, your brother went to that school? Did you go Neveah?" Ethan asked and Neve nodded.
"Sort of, I'm a Spirit Ninja, what is considered the lost element as the school was abandoned a century ago. I was trained by the last Spirit Ninja Master to take her place one day and help her reopen the Spirit Academy," Neve said. "I think I did meet your brother, Eric McKnight, he and his friends tried to help us when Kelzaks attacked at the Action Games."
Conner grinned at this and nodded. "Go Eric, he's a airhead but has a big heart. He taught me some awesome moves as well, here watch," Conner said and and twirled through the air, her hands forming a series of punches and strikes while her foot kicked out, crashing into the main computer. It sparked and things froze on the screen.
"Um…opps" Conner said and Neve's eyes widened.
"Please tell me that didn't just happen," Kira said and Neve nodded happy that David was still asleep in his play pen after Conner's display.
"Don't worry!" Hayley smiled, her fingers working like mad as a beeping noise echoed in the lab and a screen came up, showing a hillside with a small glowing purple bubble. "That little jolt must've done something to the wiring because I've got something! I've got a lock on an invisiportal!"
"Awesome!" the girls said together as they grinned, high-fiving each other.
"Lets go save the teacher and his wife, we owe it to them," Conner said smiling and Kira nodded.
"The whole world does," Kira said.
"Good I have just the way for you four to get in," Hayley said and Neve turned to the redheaded woman.
"Four, Hayley I can't morph anymore," Neve said and the woman grinned.
"I may have a solution to that, it is temporary and dangerous but this is a emergency," Hayley said as she got into a wall vault and got out a morpher and brought it over. It look sort of like a belt buckle with a golden coin in the center which was cracked and had a symbol of a Pterodactyl on it.
"My mothers old morpher?" Neve asked.
"Yes, the Ninjetti Power coins were the only ones destroyed these were simply damaged. They still hold morphing energy in them but...it is dangerous. It doesn't hold the proper link to the morphing grid, if you use it to much or even at all...it could destroy you," Hayley said and Neve nodded before taking the morphing in her hands. Kira gasped.
"Neve you can't be serious, it's too dangerous," she said. Neve looked at the Yellow Ranger and smiled.
"I understand that Kira, but these are my parents, if I can help I am going to. Even if it could kill me, I have a chance to help and I'm gonna take it." Neve then turned to Hayley.
"So, what's next?" she asked the redhead.
A/N: Here we go, I am sorry it took so long but my laptop is on it's last leg so it over heats a lot and I have to let it cool off every couple hours. I also got side tracked but here it is. I'm gonna try to get Chapter five and six up today as well. Thank you everyone who reviewed, and I hope you all liked this. R&R!
