Chapter 5: Red, White, and Blue
When they all walked into the house, they walked into Tommy's office. Tommy sat at his desk while the others watched him type on the keyboard.
"Who are you calling?" Kira asked.
"Conner, Ethan, and Trent," Tommy answered, "I guess you know by now that we need all the help we can get."
"That's a given," Stryder said.

About five minutes of typing later, three images appeared on the screen. Stryder smiled at the sight of his old friends.
"Dr. O! Hey!" Ethan exclaimed, "How've you been?"
"Yeah, what's up?" Conner asked, "Why'd you call us?"
"Guys, we've got a situation," Tommy typed for a second and an old image of Ivan Ooze appeared on the screen, "Conner, Ethan, does this guy look familiar to you?"
"...Yeah, a little," Conner said, "I'm gonna need a reminder. Plus, no doubt Trent over there is confused."
"He's right," Trent chuckled a bit.
"His name is Ivan Ooze," Tommy explained, "He nearly destroyed me and the original Power Rangers, remember?"
"...Oh yeah!" Ethan said, "That disgusting snot guy!"
"Pretty much," Tommy chuckled, "Well, he's back and out for revenge. I'm gonna need all the help I can get."
"Dr. O," Trent put in, "We don't have our powers anymore. How are we gonna stop him?"
"I think I've got a solution for that. Just come over to my place as fast as you can."
"Got it," Conner said.
And with that, their screens went blank.
"So what do we do now?" Theo asked.
Tommy shrugged, "I guess now we wait. Maybe we'll get more news soon."
As if on cue, an icon on the screen popped up, saying, "Incoming call."
Tommy clicked the icon and Adam popped up.
"Hey Tommy," he said, "Rocky called and said he found Aisha. I also found Kimberly, but there's an issue- oh hey! You got company, I see."
"Hey Adam," Kira waved.
"Hey, Kira!" Adam waved back, "It's been a while. Who're your friends?"
"These are the Jungle Fury Rangers," Kira gestured to Casey, Lily, Theo, and RJ, then to Wes and Eric, "And these are two of the Time Force Rangers," she then gestured to Stryder, "And this is my boyfriend Stryder."
"Oh, hey!" Adam said, "Kira's told me about you."
"Adam," Tommy interrupted, "You were saying?"
"Oh, right," Adam said, "Aisha's on her way. I found Kimberly, but she's not picking up the phone or anything. I think we need to go to her house personally."
Tommy paled a bit, "O-okay, so, what do you want to do?"
"Why don't you get some of those guys to help you?" Adam suggested, "It's possible to 'divide and conquer' now."
"Good idea," Tommy said with a hint of relief in his voice, "I'll do that. Thanks Adam."
Adam logged off and Tommy turned to the group.
"Okay," he said, "That sound like a plan to you guys?"
"Yeah," Stryder said, "Me, Kira, Casey, and Lily will go get Kimberly. You guys can wait here."
"Actually," Wes put in, "Me and Eric can contact Jen and the other Time Force Rangers. They'll help us."
"Good idea," Tommy said.
"Me and Theo will try to get Dom," RJ said, "Time to get our team back."
"It's settled then," Stryder said, "Tommy will stay here to notify us if something happens, Kira, Casey, Lily, and I will get Kimberly, Wes and Eric will get their group, and RJ and Theo will get Dominic. Sounds like a plan."
Wes and Eric went to their car and pulled out two antennae to contact the future Rangers. RJ and Theo pulled out their phones in an attempt to get Dom or Fran on. And, after getting directions to Kimberly's address, Stryder, Kira, Casey, and Lily all got into Tommy's old jeep and drove off in the direction of Kimberly's house.
