Chapter 2 – Scene 4 – Doctor O's Laboratory in Reefside
Moments after the rangers' departure from Zordon's Command Center, the rangers arrive in Doctor O's Laboratory Basement in a flash of light behind Haley and Trent as they were sitting down awaiting their return.
"Well we've made it back, Haley"
Conner says with enthusiasm. Both Haley and Trent turn to look behind them and appeared surprised that they brought others with them and appeared astounded that they've returned so quickly.
"Wow so many people. Who are these guys?"
Trent asked curiously while sitting in a chair next to Haley. Haley smiles and speaks up as she realizes that the trip they made brought more than she expected.
"Well, Trent, these are the original power rangers. The ones that Tommy used to be with years ago as you can see. But my question is is how did you guys manage to find all of them in such a short amount of time? Or my real question is how did it go in Angel Grove? That might explain it better."
Haley says with happiness in her voice.
"Well it went extremely well, Haley! Zordon's back and he's in full swing on helping us out against Lord Zedd."
Kira says as she walks over to the chair and sits her backpack in it.
"Alright Zordon said we need to connect this place with the Command Center so that this place can serve as a second base for the rangers as well as enhance the technology here. The technology over in the Command Center is more advanced than what's here and, with Zedd back, time is of the essence."
Andros said with urgency as he goes over to the computers where Haley is sitting and examines the controls to prepare to get started with the connection. Haley scoots her chair back slightly to give him more room to work.
"Okay Andros, go right ahead. Connecting the Lab to the Command Center will help us out a lot."
Haley replies as she gets up from her computer chair and lets Andros sit so he can work on it. As Andros starts the process, he looks over his right shoulder in Billy's direction and signals him over to him.
"Hey Billy, I need your help getting this set up. Sorry this is gonna take a little while to get done, ummm Haley right?"
"Sure thing."
Billy says in reply as he walks over to the computer and pulls up another chair and starts helping him.
"Yeah it's Haley. And it's alright. Take as much time as you need. I'm gonna head upstairs and get some fresh air."
As Haley heads upstairs to the front porch, the others follow suit with her. As they get to the porch, Haley asks a question as she sits in the lawn chair. The others find other places to sit or they lean against the porch wall as they enjoy the nice warm breeze.
"Hey how are you veteran rangers are supposed to help us? Isn't your powers gone now?"
"Well we're just as surprised by this as you are, Haley. You see we were all mysteriously summoned by Zordon when Conner, Kira, and Ethan reported of Zedd's return and Tommy being under his spell."
Jason explains as he looks over at Haley with a little hint of worry across his face and continues speaking as he pulls out his power coin to show her.
"And we received these power coins to help."
Haley reaches over to get it from Jason's hand and examines it with great interest.
"Amazing… Does that mean all the original dino-zords are restored as well?
Haley says in curiosity as she looks at Jason's power coin and then gives it back to him.
"Yeah it does. It's gonna be something being a ranger and seeing our zords once again. It's been awhile."
Zack says with a slight bit of excitement in his voice.
"Zedd will never know what's coming to him!"
Zack says in continuation as he stands up and leans against the nearby wall.
"Yeah and hopefully we can break the spell over Tommy. I don't know why this is happened to him again but I'll do whatever it takes bring my husband back…"
Kimberly says in agreement with Zack. The other rangers nod their heads as well in agreement with them. Suddenly a thought crosses Kira's mind as she digs through her backpack.
"Oh I almost forgot! Doctor O's black dino morpher!"
After she gets done saying her words, Kira pulls it out of a small front pocket of her backpack and holds it out to Haley to give to her. Haley looks at her with curiosity as Kira continues speaking.
"We need someone to take over as the black dino ranger. With Doctor O not around to take control of it, we're unable to help out as much as we could. I mean, the only reason why we were able to use the bio-zords earlier because the zords were already out because they were being repaired but now they're in the black dino ranger's brachiozord. Is there anyone we can give the black dino gem to?"
The rangers ponder to themselves of the question being asked to them. Then Haley speaks up to make a suggestion.
"What about you, Trent?"
"Nah I can't. Remember I'm bound to the White Dino Gem. We all know that I can't control two. I would if I could."
Moments later, Zack steps up from the wall with a slight smile on his face.
"I got one we can give the black dino gem to. How about we call up Adam? If you remember right, Adam is a former black ranger and he's piloted Tommy's zords before in the past with the Zeo Rangers. And he's one hell of a ranger to boot."
After Zack's suggestion, all of them say something in agreement on Adam being the next black dino ranger.
"Well we can't do much about that right now, Zack, until Andros and Billy have finished rewiring the connection to the Command Center. For now, you all are gonna have to fight Zedd without him until then. I'll have Andros tell Zordon to summon Adam to get the black dino gem."
Haley says in reply.
"We can handle it until Adam shows up to help us. Since we're up against Lord Zedd and him being more powerful than before, we may need all the help we can get. I don't think we were selected as power rangers if we couldn't handle it."
All the rangers nod their heads in agreement after Jason finishes speaking. After the conversation subsides, Haley heads back down stairs to see if Andros and Billy need any help with anything as the rangers continue to wait on Zedd's next move.
