Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Calling of the Dinosaurs
Chapter Ten: The Truth Comes Out
The following morning after having broken the spell that was placed on Tommy and gained a twelfth Ranger on the team, Kimberly, Trini, and I are in the Command Center as we have a four day weekend from school, but the reason we are here is that both girls plan on telling Zordon and Alpha the truth about them being lesbians and being a couple as Kimberly and Trini told me their news last night. They wanted to tell Zordon and Alpha first and wanted me there with them for support.
"Kimberly, Trini, I sense that the two of you are feeling uneasy about something." Zordon stated
"There is Zordon something that we want to tell both you and Alpha about." Kimberly mentioned
"What is it?" Alpha inquired
"Alpha, Zordon, Kimberly and I are lesbians and are in love with each other." Trini revealed
"I have had the feeling that was the case, but I felt that it be best not to say anything until you had revealed it to us yourselves." Zordon explained
'Man, dad was right when he said that Zordon always seems to know about your life.' I thought to myself
"So, you two are okay with this?" Kimberly wondered
"Kimberly, both you and Trini are still the same people you always have been. Both Zordon and I care about the two of you. You will always be our friends." Alpha assured them
"Thanks Alpha." Trini thanked
"Paul, I presume that you had known about this for the longest time?" Zordon questioned
"Yeah I have known about Kimberly being a lesbian since I was six and Trini came to me about her a few weeks back." I told him
"It's good to know that the two of you are revealing this to us. When do you plan to tell the rest of your family and friends?" Zordon inquired
"Later tonight at Ernie's when he closes the Juice bar as we want to tell our family and friends at the same time but we know that our grandparents and cousins won't be there so we will tell them the next time we see them." Kimberly told him
"You're making the right choice in doing this both of you." Zordon told them
"Thanks Zordon." Trini thanked
Meanwhile in Angel Grove Park
Tommy was walking through Angel Grove Park deep in thought about the events that had taken place within the last few days since moving to Angel Grove.
"I can't believe that after everything I did to them that they forgave me for what I did to them when I was under Rita's spell." Tommy mentioned
He continues walking as his mind then drifts off to Kat.
"And Kat man, she is so beautiful I just hope that I can work up the courage to ask her out one day and hope I can do it before someone else does." Tommy muttered
Meanwhile inside Rita's Palace
Rita was spying on Earth through her Repulsascope when she suddenly spot Tommy walking alone through the park.
"Oh the Green Ranger is all alone in the park." Rita mentioned
"Let me go down there and deal with him." Goldar requested
"Very well Goldar, go and have your fun." Rita told him
"Thank you my queen I shall not fail." Goldar thanked
Meanwhile back in Angel Grove Park
Tommy continued to walk around the park just deep in his own thoughts.
"What's the matter Green Ranger?" A voice wondered
Tommy quickly turned around to see that the voice belong to Goldar.
"What do you want Goldar?" Tommy questioned
"I'm here to take care of you traitor." Goldar informed him
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Tommy yelled out
"DRAGONZORD!" Tommy yelled out
Once morphed Tommy pulled out his Dragon Dagger.
"You want me, come and get me." Tommy challenged
"With pleasure." Goldar stated
They both then charge into one another and began fighting one another with their weapons.
Meanwhile back inside the Command Center
Just then the Alarm went off.
"Oh no the alarm Ayi, yi, yi, yi! What is Rita up to this time." Alpha cried out
"What's going on Zordon?" I questioned
"Rangers, observe the Viewing Globe." Zordon told us
We do so and see Tommy morphed and battling Goldar.
"Tommy is currently fighting each other in the park you must help him." Zordon told us
"Right." I agreed
"I'll contact the others and have them meet you three there." Alpha told us
"Thanks Alpha." Trini thanked
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" I yelled out
"BRACHIOSAURUS!" I yelled out
"PTERODACTYL!" Kimberly yelled out
"SABER-TOOTHED TIGER!" Trini yelled out.
Meanwhile at Frank's Office
After hearing his Communicator goes off Frank walks to an empty hallway.
'I knew this would happen one day.' Frank thought to himself
"Go ahead Zordon, I read you." Frank said into the Communicator
"Frank, I am sorry to call you while you are at work but Goldar is attacking Tommy in the park the other Rangers are on their way over there now but they will need your help." Zordon said through the Communicator
"Right Zordon, I'm on it." Frank said into the Communicator
'Man if I get fired Rita is so going to pay for this.' Frank thought to himself
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Frank yelled out
"GORILLAZORD!" Frank yelled out
Meanwhile inside the Youth Center
After hearing their Communicators go off, Jason, Zack, Billy, Kat, Aisha, Adam, and Rocky go into the empty hallway.
"This is Jason, go ahead Zordon." Jason said into the Communicator
"Jason, you and the others must meet up with Paul, Trini, Kimberly, and Frank in the park. Tommy is being attack by Goldar and needs up." Zordon said through the Communicator
"We're on it." Jason said into the Communicator
"Okay guy's, let's go show bucket head to not mess with us." Zack stated
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Jason yelled out
"ANKYLO!" Adam yelled out
"STEGOSAURUS!" Kat yelled out
"SPINOSAURUS!" Rocky yelled out
"RAPTOR!" Aisha yelled out
"MASTODON!" Zack yelled out
"TRICERATOPS!" Billy yelled out.
"TYRANNOSAURUS!" Jason yelled out.
Meanwhile back in Angel Grove Park
Tommy and Goldar continue to fight one another with their weapons as they manage to push each other off of the other causing the both of them to stagger backwards a bit.
"Give it up Green Ranger, you can never defeat me." Goldar stated
"No, I'm never going to give up Goldar, I am not going to let you or Rita get away with what you did to me." Tommy stated
"That's right Tommy you tell him." A voice called out
Tommy turned around to see the others Morphed and standing right next to him.
Paul's POV
Tommy looked around at the other Rangers.
"Guys, you showed up." Tommy stated
"You know it bro we are always here for you." Zack assured him
"Zack's right Tommy, we never turn our back on a friend." Aisha mentioned
"We are always there for you Tommy." Kat told him
"Thanks guys." Tommy thanked
"Alright then let's do this." Dad stated
All off us nodded in agreement.
"Dragon, Green Ranger." Tommy called out getting into a fighting stance
"Gorilla, Gold Ranger." Dad called out getting into his fighting stance
"Ankylo, White Ranger." Adam called out getting into his fighting stance
"Stegosaurus, Purple Ranger." Kat called out getting into her fighting stance

"Power Rangers." We all called out together
"You're out numbered Goldar." Dad informed him
"We will see about that, Putties." Goldar called out
Just then the Putties showed up in front of him.
"Attack them." Goldar ordered
We then started fighting the Putties and Goldar.
Meanwhile back inside Rita's Palace
"So the Rangers want to play, will here is something to give them a run for their money." Rita mentioned aiming her Magic Wand at the Earth
She then fires a beam down towards Earth.
Meanwhile back in Angel Grove Park
Just then, we suddenly see a beam firing down from the sky as it then hits the Putties as we stop fighting them and backed up a bit. The beam that had struck the Putties not only combining them into one but making it grow thirty stories tall.
"Whoa not good." Adam mentioned
The giant Putty just groans as it then then heads towards Angel Grove.
"Guys we have to stop him." Rocky mentioned
"Yeah but we still have Goldar to deal with." Trini pointed out
Dad quickly turned towards Tommy.
"Tommy, you think you can handle that giant clay head?" Dad inquired our newest teammate
"Yeah just leave it to me and my Dragon Zord." Tommy assured
"Be careful Tommy." Kat told him
"I will Kat." Tommy promised running towards the direction the giant Putty went in.
Normal POV
Once there Tommy jumped on top of one of the buildings and pulled out his Dragon Dagger
"Time for Dragon Zord Power." Tommy called out as he then start playing the Dragon Dagger.
Just then the Dragon Zord rises from the ocean and arrives in the city.
"Hang on, I'm coming abroad." Tommy stated
Tommy then jumped into the Dragon Zord's cockpit.
"Alright, now let's break down this clay head." Tommy called out placing his hands on the controls in front of him
Tommy then had the Dragon Zord attack the giant Putty.
"Alright you giant clay doll, let's see if you can handle the heat activate Missiles." Tommy called out
Just then, five missiles pop out of the Dragon Zord's finger tips.
"MISSILES FIRE!" Tommy shouted out
Just then, the missiles fired out of the finger tips hitting the giant Putty making it stagger back a few feet.
"What? That didn't even faze that clay head." Tommy mentioned
The giant Putty came at Tommy hitting the Dragon Zord with a powerful punch to the Dragon Zord's chest.
"Man I could really use some help here Zordon." Tommy said into the communications system in the Dragon Zord
Meanwhile with the other Rangers
Paul's POV
All of us had jumped into the air and each sent a kick to his chest as dad's kick sends him flying to the ground.
"Goldar you are outnumbered eleven to one. So you should just give up now." I told him
"Fat chance Rangers." Goldar stated as he stood back up
Just then our Communicators beeped as dad then reached for his Communicator.
"Go ahead Zordon." Dad said into the Communicator
"Frank, Tommy needs help the giant Putty is proving too powerful for him to handle alone." Zordon said through the Communicator
"Right Zordon." Dad said into the Communicator
"What are we going to do?" Adam questioned
"We need to help Tommy." Kat mentioned
"Yeah, but we still have Goldar to deal with." Rocky pointed out
"Billy, Trini, and Zack you guys go help Tommy the rest of us will stay here and deal with Goldar." Dad instructed
"Got it." Trini confirmed
"All right good luck guys." Kimberly told them
"Thanks Kim." Billy thanked
"Alright guys let's move out." Zack told them
"Right." Billy agreed
Billy, Zack, and Trini then teleported out of the park.
Meanwhile back in Downtown Angel Grove
"Tail Drill engage." Tommy called out
Just then, Tommy had the Dragon Zord's tail start spinning going to hit the giant Putty but it doesn't work as the Giant Putty grabs the tail picking it up as he then spins the Dragon Zord around for a moment before letting go of the tail mid spin sending the Dragon Zord to the ground.
"Man, not good." Tommy muttered
Just then, a white blast hits the giant Putty sending it to the ground Tommy looked to see that it was the Mastodon, along with the Triceratops, and Saber-Tooth Tiger Dino Zords
"Hey bro, thought you could use some help." Zack mentioned
"Yeah this giant clay head has another thing come." Trini pointed out
"Cause reinforcements has arrive." Billy added
"Great timing guys what do you say let's bring them together." Tommy suggested
"Yeah sounds good to me." Trini agreed
"Dragon Zord Battle Mode transformation sequence, begin now." Zack called out
Just then, the Dragon Zord became the head and body the Mastodon Zord became the arms. While the Triceratops and Saber-tooth Tiger Zords became the Legs while the Dragon Zord's tail became a staff.
"Drangon Zord Battle Mode online." Zack, Billy, Trini, and Tommy called out together
The giant Putty roared and charge in at them.
"Alright time to squash this clay brain." Zack mentioned
"Power Staff Drill attack." Billy called out
Just then the Power Staff starts spinning and they strike in the giant Putty's chest making a big hole in its chest. The giant Putty went to the ground and exploded
"Yes we did it." Trini cheered
"Yeah that is one mutant Putty that won't be coming back." Tommy mentioned
"You said it bro." Zack agreed
Meanwhile back in Angel Grove Park
Jason, Kimberly, Rocky, Kat, Adam, Aisha, dad, and I aim our Blade Blasters and Xavier towards Goldar as we then fired at Goldar as the combined blasts sent Goldar flying to the ground. Just then, Zack, Trini, Billy, and Tommy rejoin the rest of us.
"Hey we took care for that giant clay brain." Tommy explained
"Good work." Dad commented
Dad then turned back towards Goldar.
"Now it's your turn Goldar." Dad stated
Goldar then stood back up.
"You may have won this battle Rangers, but next time you will not be so lucky." Goldar informed us
Goldar then disappeared
"Man he got away." I stated
"We'll get him next time." Billy mentioned
"Tommy you okay?" Kat inquired
"Yeah I'm okay thanks to all of you." Tommy thanked
"No worries man." Rocky assured as they clasp hands
"Listen guys, I have to get back to work before they notice I am gone." Dad stated
"No worries dad we will see you later tonight." I told him
"Right." Dad agreed before he teleported off
"Come on guys let's head back to the Youth Center." Adam suggested
"Sounds good to me." Jason agreed
"Me too." Aisha agreed
The rest of us nodded in agreement as we all then teleported away.
Meanwhile back inside Rita's Palace
"I can't believe them Rangers have beaten us two days in a row." Rita complained
"I am sorry Empress." Goldar apologized
"Shut up I have got a headache." Rita screech out
Later on that night inside the Youth Center
All of us along with mine and Kimberly's parents, Trini's parents and younger sister, and Ernie were all setting around a group of tables. I was sitting right next to both Kimberly and Trini as they both are about to take a huge and much needed step in their lives right now.
"So what's up girls, Paul and the two of you said that it was real important that all of us got together so that you can tell us something together?" Mom inquired
"Well it is mom, and um this isn't easy for Trini and I to say but we feel that it's time we did and please don't say anything until we finish." Kimberly told them
"We promise dear what is it?" Dad wondered
Kimberly and Trini both looks at me and I grab each of their hands and give them both a reassuring squeeze.
"Okay well, both Kimberly and I are lesbians." Trini revealed
"And we are in love with one another." Kimberly added
Just then everyone but the three of us had shocked looks on their faces.
"Now, Paul has known that I have been a lesbian since he was six and Trini had only found out that she was a lesbian a few weeks back and confronted Paul about these feelings." Kimberly explained to them
"Yeah, I don't know what it was but I just for some reason got more interested in girls then guys and Paul has been real supportive to me since I told him about it." Trini stated
"And Paul has always been there for me since he found out about me and had kept on encouraging me to say something and told me that everything will be fine." Kimberly mentioned
A few minutes went by with no one saying anything. Just then we then see mom and dad walk over to Kimberly and I and Trini's family to Trini. The three of us then stand up and face our parents.
"Kimberly you never had to keep this from us." Dad told her
"Really?" Kimberly wondered
"Yes, we don't care if you are a lesbian you are still my daughter and we love you no matter what." Mom assured her as she then pulls her into a hug
"Thanks mom dad." Kimberly thanked
Her and mom breaks the hug as she then goes and hugs dad.
"Trini the same goes for you shouldn't be afraid to tell us anything we will always be there for you and love you just as much." Mrs. Kwan assured her
"Really?" Trini inquired
"Yes and we will always respect and support whatever you choose in life." Mr. Kwan told her as her parents pulled her into a hug
"And you are still my very cool big sister." Her sister Sora mentioned hugging her as well
"Thank you." Trini thanked them
"Paul, I know it must not have been easy to keep that a secret from us but we are proud that you didn't break your sister's promise." Mom told me hugging me as well
"Thanks mom." I thanked her hugging her back
"Hey don't forget about us." Jason mentioned as he and the others walk over to us
"Yeah, we know it must not have been easy to hide that big of a secret from us." Kat pointed out
"But we are all glad that you have came out and tell us." Adam stated
"Yeah we still love you guys." Billy added
"To the end of the world and back." Rocky explained
"To infinity and beyond." Zack added
"And much like how all of you have accepted me into your group when moving in, I too accept and support your lifestyle." Tommy mentioned
"Thanks guys it means a lot to us." Trini thanked
"And just so the two of you know both the Kwans and us well support your relationship with one another just promise to be there for each other." Mom told them
Kimberly and Trini then hold hands.
"We will." Kimberly and Trini promised together
"Hey how about some pizza and smoothies to celebrate and it's on the house." Ernie suggested
"Sounds good." Aisha stated
"Yeah I'm so hungry I can eat a horse." I mentioned
"So what else is new." Kimberly mentioned with a chuckle
We all laugh at that. Aisha then comes over and hugs me.
"You must have been so revealed to not have to hide that big secret huh?" Aisha wondered
"Yeah it was for sure, but it was all worth it though and I do it again in a heartbeat." I told her
We then share a quick kiss.
The next evening at the Golupski's residence
Kimberly's POV
I have to say that Trini and I are really happy right now is an understatement as Paul was right all along. Our family and friends were happy with finally knowing the truth about us and they are happy we are together now.
'I will never take my little brother for granted ever again. Well maybe not all the time anyway.' I thought to myself
Trini and I had just finish going to the movies together. We are still not that ready for complete strangers seeing us hold hands or kiss so we left the kissing part when we were driving back to my place but we did hold hands while the movie played as we were the only ones in our roll. I open up the front door to see the lights are off.
"Mom, dad, Paul anyone home?" I called out as I turn on the lights
"Maybe they went out too." Trini mentioned
"It's possible." I stated
We walk into the kitchen to find a note on the fridge I grab it and read it out loud.
"Kim, both mom and I got called into work and mom will be home sometime tomorrow morning and call me when you see this, Paul is over at Preston's and would like you to call him over there when you get the chance.
Love dad." I read
"Hmm that's odd wonder why Frank got called in?" Trini wondered
"Well he is the system's software manager so if something happens to the system he has to fix it. I need to make them calls so it will be a few minutes." I told her
"That's fine I need to use bathroom anyway." Trini mentioned
We both share a kiss. She then walks off as I then pick up the phone and call dad first. After a few rings the line picks up.
"IP this is Frank speaking." Dad said through the phone
"Hey dad it's Kim." I said into the phone
"Hey Kim, how as your date with Trini?" Dad asked through the phone
"It was great we had a good time when do you think you will be home?" I asked into the phone
"Well, it looks like I will be here till tomorrow morning at least cause I am having problems with getting the system back up." Dad said through the phone
"Well if anyone can do it it's you dad." I told him through the phone
"Thanks sweetie did have you called Paul yet?" Dad asked through the phone
"No I am going to do that here in a minute." I said into the phone
"K well, I need to get back to work so you have a goodnight and Trini is more then welcome to stay over if she wants." Dad said through the phone
"Thanks dad and I promise nothing will happen." I said kind of lying into the phone
"Good I love you Kim." Dad said through the phone
"Love you too dad bye." I said into the phone
"Bye." Dad said through the phone
We then hung up just as Trini walked in.
"So what your dad say?" Trini inquired
"He said he will be stuck at work till morning and said that if you wanted too you could stay over." I told her
"Cool can I use your phone to call my parents?" Trini requested
"Yeah go ahead just don't take too long as I still need to call Paul." I told her
"Right." Trini agreed as she picks up the phone and dials in her number
I the walk into the bathroom and do my business then wash my hands and walk back into the kitchen as Trini just hangs up the phone.
"My parents said it was okay for me to stay the night." Trini stated
"Sweet just let me call my brother and then we can spend more of us time." I told her
"I like your thinking Kim." Trini stated
We share another kiss before she walks out of the kitchen as I dial Preston's house number.
Trini's POV
While Kim is calling Paul I go into her room and go to sit on her bed when I saw a black strap sticking out from under the bed. Curious, I go over and pull it out to see a gym bag and it was half way open. I take a peak to see that it had ropes, scarves, tape, and a vibrator.
"She really is kinky like I am I think we will have some fun tonight." I muttered
I then leave the stuff in the bag and walk back into the kitchen to still see Kimberly talking to Paul
Kimberly's POV
"So yeah that is the whole thing." I said into the phone
"Well, I am glad you had a great time sis I am just glad you came out with everything I'm proud of you big sis." Paul said through the phone
"Thanks but I couldn't have made it through all this without you little brother." I said into the phone
"True will I will let you go so I will see you tomorrow." Paul said through the phone
"Okay goodnight little brother you behave tonight and I love you." I told him into the phone
"I know and I love you too sis bye." Paul said through the phone
"Bye." I said into the phone hanging it up afterwards
I turn around to see Trini and I walk over to her and throw my hands around her neck as she does the same as we lock lips and start kissing. A few moments later we stop.
"So what do you want to do tonight seeing as how we have the house to ourselves?" I inquired
"Well how about we go to your room and have a little fun." Trini suggested
"That is a great idea Trini." I agreed with her
We then walk to my room hand in hand and walk in I then happen to see my 'bag' in the open.
'She must have found it oh this is going to be a good night.' I thought to myself
"So you found my bag of goodies did you?" I questioned
"Yeah you thinking what I'm thinking?" Trini wondered
"Yeah as long as I am the first one to be tied up and helpless." I told her
"You got it, how about we strip to our bra and panties I mean it isn't like the first time we have seen each other like that." Trini suggested
"Yeah I like that idea a lot." I agreed with her
We then take off our shirt and pants leaving the both of us in our bra and panties me wearing a matching pink set while she wears a matching yellow set. Trini and I then begin kissing each other as we slowly walk towards my bed. Trini lightly pushes me on the bed as I then lie there Trini get's out some rope and ties my hands to each of the bed post. She then ties my ankles together and attaches it to my foot board. She then gets on top of me and we lock lips with each other.
"Oh Trini." I moan between kisses
"Oh Kim." Trini moan as well between kisses
After about ten minutes of doing that we stop and smile at each other.
"I think your ready for the vibrator my love." Trini mentioned
"Oh that sounds lovely but you better gag me as I don't think the neighbors should hear me moan loudly." I pointed out wiggling against the ropes a bit
"I was planning on it." Trini told me
Trini then grabs the vibrator another rope and a scarf and duck tape. She then uses the rope to tie the vibrator to my pussy. She then rolls up the scarf.
"Now open up."Trini told me
"Can I get a kiss first though?" I requested
"Of course." Trini stated
We then begin kissing again. After a few minutes we stop and I open my mouth and she then stuffs the scarf in my mouth then uses four pieces of duck tape to seal it in tight and quiet my moans down.
"You ready?" Trini questioned
"Mmmph." I muffle out through the gag nodding yes
'I have been waiting for this for a long time.' I thought to myself
Trini then turns it on low and I can feel the vibes slowly working me up.
"Mmmm." I moan out through the gag
Trini then starts running her hand around my body slowly kissing my neck at times
"Mmmm." I moan some more as I feel that an orgasm is coming.
An hour and a half later
Trini's POV
After Kimberly had a few orgasms and me teasing her helpless body it was my turn. Kimberly had tied me up the same way I had her earlier and attach the vibrator to my pussy.
"Time for a little kiss before I gag you Trini." Kimberly told me
"I agree my love." I told her
We then lock lips and begin kissing each other passionately for a good ten minutes before we stop and she then gag me the same way I had her gagged earlier. She then turns the vibrator on slow and I begin to feel the vibes.
"Mmmm." I moan out feeling the vibes from the vibrator
Kimberly slowly runs her figures all over my body. I just moan even more as I begin to feel the vibes taking control as I can feel a massive orgasm coming on.
A few hours later
Kimberly's POV
After having our little bondage fun for the first time we put the stuff away. And change the sheets on my bed and put them in the washer. Luckily I had plan on changing them tonight anyway. So now still in our bra and panties we lay in the clean covers and sheets in my bed in each other's arms just smiling at each other
"I love you Trini Kwan." I told her
"And I love you to Kimberly Ann Heart." Trini told me
We then lock lips and begin kissing each other passionately once more.
