Ok im sorry that it took so long to do this chapter. Since I'm home for the holidays I finally found time to get the chapter done. Anyway there it is.
On the Moon Base, plans were being made to destroy both sets of Power Rangers. Phantom Stinger had just told Lord Zedd and Rita of how he and the Rangers had come to Angle Grove.
"Humm" said Lord Zedd, who was sitting on his throne "That blast you described could have been a trans-dimensional warp."
"What that Edd?" asked Rito who was standing in the audience chamber with Rita, Goldar and Mesogog's Monster.
"That's Zedd, you dope, the monster has been transported from his planet, where ever Reefside is, with his Rangers to this planet by some means of instant space travel, Is that simple enough for you?" replied the evil Lord. "But I don't really care how you got here, just that you help me."
"Great, now we have two sets of Rangers to deal with because of this 'Mesogog's faulty plan, what a great leader" said Rita sarcastically.
"You are not fit to speak my masters name, Welch," interrupted Phantom Stinger angrily "I am only here because Lord Zedd hinted that he could help me destroy the Dino Thunder Rangers for my master, and if your pathetic Rangers get in my way then I will destroy them too."
"SILENCE BOTH OF YOU" shouted Lord Zedd, whose sudden announcement made Phantom Stinger and his wife look at him. "We need to plan this carefully even with your help, my friend; both sets of Rangers will be difficult to beat. We will not rush this, plans must be made" he paused for a minute as if to think and then continued on "The Rangers must be weakened, divide and conquer tactics are needed, Phantom Stinger when you return to Earth you will have the use of my Tengu Warriors."
"My thanks Lord Zedd, all help is appreciated" the monster bowed his head slightly in gratitude.
"No trouble at all my friend, in fact you will have more help than the Tengu, I will send one of my own monsters down to attack one group of Rangers while you destroy the other!"
Goldar interrupted Lords Zedd's speech "My Lord, it will take a good few hours to assemble a suitable monster for your needs."
"It better be a good monster to wait that long Goldar" Lord Zedd said threateningly.
"It is an excellent monster, my lord, and in the mean time Phantom Stinger can rest to regain his strength, he must be in a weakened state after two battles and traveling to this planet" Goldar replied.
"Your golden pet is correct" the winged monkey turned around and glared at Phantom Stinger, sword twitching in his claws. "I will need time to recover my energy to be at full strength to fight the Rangers," stated Phantom Stinger.
"Agreed then, go rest and be ready for when it's time to attack Earth," ordered Zedd.
"Come with me," Goldar stated to the monster.
"Lead the way," was his reply.
Both Phantom Stinger and Goldar left with Rito following afterwards. While Goldar was walking he thought "You are a means to an end creature, if you do succeed then I will get the pleasure of killing you if Lord Zedd doesn't do it. I am a loyal servant to my master not a pet."
With the monsters departure, Rita and Zedd were left on their own.
The Emperor got off his thrown and headed towards the balcony where a full view of the Earth could be seen in the distance.
"Sleep well Rangers, because it will be the last night you will see on the Earth!" Zedd evilly said out loud.
"Why don't you try to locate the new thunder pests?" asked Rita who had joined her husband on the balcony.
"I've already tried that, my dear, but because we don't know their identities it is all but impossible to find them when they are not morphed." He replied.
"Do you think Phantom Stinger will succeed?" enquired Rita after a few seconds of silence.
"Probably not, but fighting him will weaken the Rangers enough for my chosen warrior to finish the job" Zedd replied.
The couple laughed evilly as darkness started to cast its shadow on the Earth below them.
Little did they know but Phantom Stinger too, was watching the Earth from the room that Goldar had led him too.
"Fools, let them plot away, I will get rid of them once they have helped me destroy the Rangers. My master will be pleased and this planet too shall belong to him. It will look beautiful when it is turned into a natural prehistoric environment" he thought "The clock is counting down to the end, Rangers, beware you have finally met your match!"
Tommy and Rocky were having a good work out. Each movement was swift and accurate showing months of practice. Each choreographed punch was dodged and each kick was blocked. The intense sparring had attracted much attention with nearly the whole Youth Centre watching them. When they ended the session, everyone seemed to snap out of the trace that they were in and continue on with whatever activity they were doing. Rocky and Tommy preformed the customary bow and then grabbed their towels that Adam and Billy were guarding.
"That was a great sparring session guys" said Aisha, who had come back from shopping with Kimberly and had wondered over to watch her friends finish sparing.
"Hey, Aisha, when did you get here?" asked Rocky who hadn't noticed them enter because he had been concentrating on fighting Tommy.
"About 20 minutes ago," replied Kim.
"Well, if you don't mind" interrupted Tommy "we are going to the bar, I can see two special smoothie's, with our names on it, lets go Rocky."
Ernie had gotten into the habit of pre-making their shakes because when Tommy and Rocky sparred they always had the same drinks afterwards. Both men walked over from the sparing mat and grabbed their smoothie's, which had been placed next to an unknown teenager in Blue. The White and Red Power Rangers took a slip of the smoothie and sighed in delight. Ernie's smoothie's always hit the spot after a workout, and this session was extra tense with the frustration of not knowing anything about the new Rangers or Phantom Stinger.
"Wow," commented the guy in red next to the unknown in blue "That was one great workout, don't you wish that you could do something like that and not play on the computer all day Ethan?"
"I would have to admit that was cool Connor, but no I still like computers" replied Ethan.
"Guys would you just quit it" added a feminine voice that came from a girl dressed in yellow, "Come on drink up, Dr O will have a fit if we show up late."
"Don't worry, Kira, we have plenty of time," said Connor casually, he received a disbelieving look from the Yellow Ranger "You don't believe me? Look at my watch, we left Dr O at 3, its only 3:50 now, see? Nothing to worry about."
Tommy, who had listened to the conversation decided to interrupt, "Excuse me but" he began to say but stopped when all three pairs of eyes stared at him. Their expressions showed shock for a brief second but after a moment their looks vanished, and were replaced by ones of curiosity. Tommy shrugged off their brief strange behavior as he thought that he had imagined it. "I'd get a new watch if I were you that things slow. It actually closer to 4:40."
Connor looked at his left wrist where his watch was and frowned in confusion. It was a good quality watch, which shouldn't have been broken already. He had only had it for a month and his family were going to kill him when they found out he had damaged it. "How did I break it?" he thought, and then the answer suddenly hit him. Connor nearly smacked his head on the counter at his own stupidity. Images came flooding back into his mind of the accident that sent him and the team back to 1995, and then waking up on his left side, crushing the very watch that had given him the wrong time.
"We are dead, pure and simply dead. Dr O is going to bury us alive, we are over 40 minutes late" moaned Ethan.
"I would like 'Conner McKnight, an undiscovered soccer genius cut down in his prime' on my gravestone, please," added an equally worried Connor.
"Sorry, you guys have lost me," said a confused Tommy.
"We are students on a field trip to Angle Grove," Kira quickly explained, "We got split into groups with our science teacher, Dr O, supervising us. After a trip to the museum, we were allowed some time to look around the city."
"The three of us decided that we needed a place to relax and we came across the Youth Centre. We got so involved in your workout that we completely missed the time we were supposed to meet our teacher" added Ethan.
"I agree, I would kill you too if I was your science teacher and you were 40 minutes late," answered Tommy with a smile on his face, "I'll leave so you can finish your last smoothie, it was nice meeting all of you."
The White Ranger then turned away from the Dino Thunder Team, and followed by Rocky, returned to the training mats to speak to their fellow Ninjetti Rangers.
Dr Oliver was enjoying the sparing match, and idly watched his younger self and Rocky walk up to the juice bar and collect their preordered smoothie's. He was having a hard time adjusting to the past Angle Grove and his head was starting to hurt with a bad case of dejavu.
"It's not everyday that you get to see your younger self and know exactly what his every move will be" he thought "The only problem is that I don't remember meeting the Dino Thunder Rangers, so not even I know what will happen next."
Dr O's heart rate suddenly increased when he heard Tommy speak to the Dino Thunder Rangers, nearly choked with laughter when they realized the time, how much trouble they were in and then smiled when he heard his younger self refer to killing them if he was their science teacher. Dr Oliver was trying not to laugh out loud at the irony of the statement, but wiped the tears that had suddenly appeared in his eyes. As soon as the White and Red Power Rangers had returned to the rest of the team, and the part of the juice bar the Dino Thunder Ranger was in was empty, he decided to make his presence known.
"It was fun while it lasted" stated Connor, who was looking down at his empty smoothie glass.
"Yeah" agreed Ethan, who too had finished his smoothie "I wonder what torture Dr O has come up with within the 40 minutes we have missed."
"Something horrible no doubt" said Kira.
"Oh, I don't know" interrupted the quite voice of Dr Oliver but loud enough for the three teens to hear "It's definitely going to be some hard and painful training."
All three of the teenagers' eyes widened in pure shock and they quickly glanced around, trying to locate their teacher.
"A few questions" asked an astonished Connor in a low voice "Where are you and how are you?"
"Oh how young minds forget" chuckled Dr Oliver "I am using the Black Dino Gem to be invisible and I'm sitting in the empty seat next to Kira."
Kira passed her hand through the space next to her and slightly jumped when she met something hard (she had in fact knocked into Dr O's shoulder).
"The reason that I risked venturing in here knowing that the current Power Rangers are around was that in this foreign city, well foreign to you," he added "something bad could have happened. Now let's get out of here, I have found us a place to stay but I don't think we could get to the Command Centre yet."
"Why not?" Asked Kira.
"The silver ranger isn't here yet. And knowing her she'll be talking to Zordon for a while." Dr. Oliver said.
"That makes scents," replied Kira.
"Anyway how are you going to get out of here, Dr O?" asked Connor, "We can walk out but what about you."
"Don't worry Connor; I'll get out the way I came in."
"Which was?" enquired Ethan.
"Through the backdoor, but I will need you to distract Ernie for me so I can reach his storeroom," answered Dr Oliver ", Meet me around the back of the Centre as soon as you can."
"Hey, Ernie can I talk to you a minute?" asked Kira and in response Dr Oliver made his way carefully around to the side of the bar where he could easily reach the backroom. Ernie, who had been stock taking in the back, came out of the room at Kira's request and headed over to her, "How can I help you?" asked Ernie.
As soon as Ernie was out of the way, Dr Oliver made his way to the back door, through the stockroom and outside to the rear of the Youth Centre.
After the three teens had distracted Ernie, they said there goodbyes and headed for the entrance of the Youth Centre. They all stopped at the entrance to the Gym and gave one last look at their science teachers old hang out. Connor quickly glanced at the gym mats, and looked at the Power Ranger team. They were still there, talking as a group, when he noticed that Adam had glanced up and was staring at him.
"Come on guys it's time to go" stated Connor.
When the three of them turned around they bumped in to Bulk and Skull, "Hey! Watch it," said the bigger of the two, Bulk.
"Sorry" muttered Ethan and the group parted with the three Rangers heading outside, while Bulk and Skull walked towards the juice bar.
"Tommy?" enquired Adam, which resulted in the current conversation to stop and everyone to look at him.
"Yeah man what is it?" replied the White Ranger.
"Who were those three teenagers that you were talking too while you and Rocky were at the juice bar? They just scanned the Youth Centre and the guy dressed in red's eyes just lingered on us for a few seconds."
"Oh those three, they're just on a school trip, with their teacher Dr O, and didn't realize the time and have to leave" stated Tommy.
"And besides" added Rocky, "they're probably just taking one last look at the centre before they return to wherever there from."
"Why do you ask," said Kimberly.
"Probably no reason, it's just the mysterious Dino Thunder Rangers, are making me paranoid about any new faces we see around the Youth Centre" replied Adam.
"Anyway there are four Dino Thunder Rangers and there are only three of them and from Ranger experience, Power Ranger teams do hang around together when in civilian form" Aisha informed the group. "But anyway where's Kiki at?"
"She told me this morning that her mom wanted her to babysit Yue tonight. Knowing her she probably went on home so she wouldn't be late," Tommy informed them.
"Your probably right Tommy. Anyway I'll be back in a minute, I'm just going to go and see where there off too," Adam informed them. With that statement he headed out of the Youth Centre after the three teens.
In the mean time, Connor, Ethan and Kira had headed round the back of the Youth Centre and had met up with the now visible Dr Oliver.
"Ok guys, let get going," Dr O stated.
"Ok, Dr O you lead the way" stated Ethan.
The entire Dino Team walked towards the front of the Youth Centre, and then turned to go to the placed that they were going to stay the night at.
It was late afternoon, when Adam left the Youth Centre and looked around for the three teens. He eventually spotted them walking away from the centre with a fourth, taller, older man walking beside them.
"Must be their teacher," he thought "Come to find them after being so late," Adam sighed.
"Those new Rangers have only appeared once, for a brief time, and already I am paranoid about them. For all I know they could be a trap sent by Lord Zedd. I just wish I new who they are and why are they here?"
Adam watched the four retreating figures for another couple of minutes; he then turned around and headed back into the Youth Centre to join his friends.
