She ran down the hall, several of the lizard dudes from before chasing her when she saw something glowing up ahead, she had listen to enough stories from her various aunts and uncles that she knew that the best thing for her to do at the moment was touch the glowing thing. Which she did, and it pulled her in.
...
Tommy grabbed his keys and tore up the stairs, Ethan and Conner behind him. He however, hadn't gotten far when a seven year old boy popped into view, "Daddy!" He exclaimed, "I've been looking for you!"
Tommy ruffled the little boys brown hair as he walked past, "Oh, what for?"
"Nick and Ronny are fighting again, and Mommy went to the store."
Tommy sighed, "Thanks Troy, I need to go pick Kira up from band practice, I'll be back soon."
"But Ronny told me that Kira got detention, that meant practice should have been canceled." The little boy called out at his father's retreating back.
"Your Kid?" Conner asked.
"One of them," Tommy said as he abruptly stopped to avoid trampling another little kid, a girl this time with red hair and a green dress.
"Look at what I drew in art class today Daddy!" she exclaimed eagerly, holding up a piece of paper to Tommy.
"That's beautiful Grace, why don't you hang it up on the fridge."
They made it out of the front door when what appeared to be the same girl only wearing a pink dress, stopped them, the cordless phone pressed to her ear, "Mommy wants to know how you managed to lose Kira, and why you are trying to block her from finding out about it?"
"How in the world can your wife know about that?" Ethan demanded as he hurried down the stairs.
"Keepers' curse," Tommy told the little girl, "I'll be back soon.
As he hurried to his jeep he noticed the two teenagers fighting, "If you don't stop you both will be grounded," he called out to them as he climbed in with his students and started the car, "And Sahen is keeping an eye on you, so I'll know if you start up again after I leave."
...
"When you said that you help build those Tyranno whatevers you were kidding, right?"
"They weren't suppose to be used like this," Tommy explained, but they had the potential, he thought to himself as he drove down the road as fast as he possible could without getting a ticket, "someone modified their programing. A few years back I was doing research on combining dinosaur DNA with technology with my partner, a scientist named Anton Mercer..."
"The rich dude that disappeared years ago?" Ethan interrupted.
"Yep. soon after Mercer disappeared our lab was attacked, all of our research was destroyed, or so I thought."
"And the guy who did this is back?" Conner asked from the backseat.
Tommy nodded, "He calls himself Mesogog."
"Look," Ethan exclaimed, "This is all fascinating, but how is this going to help find Kira, it's not like she's going to fall out of the sky and land right in front of us."
Tommy pushed back the feeling that shot through him as there was a large thump as his daughter landed on the hood of his jeep. It was just a coincidence, there was no way that Ethan caused the invisiportal to open up there just by saying that. Or was there? He knew enough about his biological family that it just could be true He had a cousin up in New York with similar powers to what he just saw.
The three of them quickly unbuckled and rushed over to her, Tommy hoped she hadn't gotten hurt with that fall, he didn't want to have to explain that to Kim.
Ethan and Conner helped her down as Ethan asked, "How'd you do that?"
"I have no idea," Kira explained, "One minute I was being chased by these creepy lizard things through this lab and the next I'm a hood ornament."
Tommy let out a sigh of relief, Kira couldn't be to hurt if she was making jokes like that, "Invisiportals." he said.
Kira turned to look at her dad, "Whatever, next time I'm calling a cab."
She then turned to look at the boys in front of her, she knew that her dad would come to her rescue, possibly with her mother, but she was not expecting these two morons to come, "What are you doing here?"
"We came to rescue you," Ethan pointed out, confused, what did she think they were doing?
"Nice Job," Kira snapped, "Way to show up after I don't need you anymore." Despite how snappy she was she wasn't really angry at the boys, more like confused, why would they risk their hides to save hers, they weren't friends, she wouldn't even call them acquaintances.
"You sure about that?" Conner asked, pointing behind them to the tyrannodrones and Zeltrax.
Tommy stepped in front of the kids, powers or no, they still couldn't morph and therefore the full transformation into power rangers hadn't happened.
"Tell me, where did Mesogog find you? It must have been hard to find a goon even uglier than Goldar to do his dirty work."
Zeltrax gave him a dirty look, or what Tommy thought it was a dirty look, couldn't tell with the visor and all, "You are not fit to speak my master's name." He said, "Come with me peacefully or suffer the consequence."
Tommy wanted to snort, but he didn't, he didn't know this goon, or how strong he was. Yes he was stronger but he had to be careful anyways, "I'm going to have to say, No."
With that the battle began. Tommy dodged, punched and flipped over his jeep, "Looks like Mesogog made a few improvements." he commented as he continued to fight Zeltrax.
"You're no match for me," Zeltrax gloated, as he raised his axe above his head as he towered over Tommy who was flat on his back.
Tommy however just grinned, "Yeah, because I'm totally not holding anything back right now." With that he sent Zeltax flying ten feet into the air, "Make sure to tell your master that Dr. Oliver is back." Tommy called out to him as he crashed into the pavement.
