"How much longer Billy?" Jessie asked.
"Almost there," he answered. He flicked a switch on the second generator. "There that should have done it.
He picked up a rock from the ground and threw it towards the force field. It went straight through. They had managed to complete part one of this mission.
Jessie spoke into her communicator.
"Jessie to Jacob," she called.
"Go Jessie," she heard her brother say.
"The polarization of Site A has been reversed. Requesting permission to enter now."
"Go Jessie, and be careful."
She nodded her approval to the others. Andros grabbed the equipment and headed toward the closest entrance to them. Cassie was close behind him. Jessie looked to make sure everything was clear and joined the other two. She turned to see Billy disappear. She knew Jacob had teleported him back to the Command Centre. The door was locked as expected. Cassie used a piece of equipment to break the lock and enter the school.
Once inside they noticed the school hallways were vacant.
"The school has an emergency plan," Cassie remembered. "I'm sure all the teachers have their students locked in their classrooms. They had chosen that particular entrance because it was close to Alyssa Enrile's classroom. They knew they needed someone that would vouch for them once inside. Alyssa was a former Ranger with Wild Force. She would be able to get them to Tanya Sloan, the assistant principal of the school.
They found Alyssa's room and knock on the door. No one answers. They realize that most likely that is what they are trained to do. Jessie quietly changes into the Phantom Ranger and uses the power to transfer herself to the other side of the door. Andros and Cassie hear children scream when they see her. Jessie quickly changes into the Pink Ranger and the children recognize her and you can hear their excitement. The door opens and Pink Ranger walks out with Alyssa and demorphs.
"I was wondering how long it would take the Rangers to get here," Alyssa smiled.
"There is a lot going on, Alyssa. We need your help," Andros stated. "Can you help us find Tanya Sloane?"
"I can't leave my students Andros. But I can call her office and get her here," she suggested.
On the inside of the door was a telephone. It was used as a communication system within the school itself. Alyssa called the office, informed them of what was going on and hung up.
"Tanya is on her way. Walk down this hallway and you will run into her. Guys if there is anything that I can do I will."
"Thanks, Alyssa. We'll keep you updated."
The three began to run down the hallway. They saw Tanya walking toward them.
"Cassie! It's good to see you again. And you are Andros. I recognize you," Tanya looked to Jessie. "I don't know you though."
"Tanya, this is Jessica Hart. She's Kimberly Hart's little sister. She's also one of the Mystic Spirit Rangers," Cassie informed.
"Well it's about time someone came to help us. Please tell me you've got a plan to get us out of here," Tanya hoped.
"We do," answered Jessie. "But we need somewhere to set up our equipment."
"We can use the gymnasium. Explain your plan to me on the way," Tanya suggested.
Twenty minutes later, Andros and Cassie had begun setting up the transporter equipment in the gym.
"Tanya, I need your help with something else," Jessie requested.
Tanya walked over to her to hear her request.
"Today you were supposed to have a band playing. The band is led by a girl named Kira Ford."
"Yes, she and her band were setting up in the auditorium when this happened to us," Tanya said.
"I need you to take me to her," Jessie demanded.
"Why? Why do you need a lead singer of a band at a time like this?" Tanya asked confused.
Jessie didn't want to give away Kira's Ranger identity without having too.
"Kira is someone who might be able to help us," she answered trying to get around the truth.
"How would she be able to help you three? This is Ranger equipment. Unless…" Tanya paused as the realization hit her. "Which team is she from?"
Jessie knew Tanya would figure it out on her own.
"Dino Thunder."
"Let me take you to her."
Tanya and Jessie left the gym as Cassie and Andros continued work on the transporter.
On the stage of the Angel Grove Auditorium, Kira Ford and her band were joking about their bad luck. How could they get stuck in a high school during a Demon attack? Most of them found it humorous. Kira did not. It felt too real for her. She knew something big was going on, and wished that there was someway to help.
She saw Principal Sloan walk in the back of the auditorium with another young girl about her age.
"Kira, may I have a word with you for a moment," Principal Sloan asked.
"Sure," she said. She looked to the rest of her band and just shrugged her shoulders indicating she didn't know what it was about. She walked into the seating area to where the two women stood.
"Were we being too loud or anything? I'm really sorry if that's the case. We're just going a bit crazy being stuck in here," Kira tried to fix any situation that might have been started.
Tanya laughed and smiled at Kira. "Honey, it's nothing like that. This is Jessica Hart. She needs to speak with you."
Kira looked at the girl her age standing there.
"Gentlemen, why don't you come with me," Tanya suggested. We finally have some people here to try and help us get out of this place. If you come with me I'll make sure you are first in line."
The guys in Kira's band jumped up and headed in their direction following Tanya out.
"Are you coming Kira?" one of them asked.
"In a minute. I need to talk to this girl first," she smiled.
The guys walked out leaving Kira and Jessie alone in the auditorium.
"So why do you need to see me?" Kira asked.
"My name is Jessie. We don't have a lot of time to work with here, but I'm a Mystic Spirit Ranger."
"Thank goodness," Kira smiled. "I knew the Rangers would come to the rescue as soon as they could."
"Well it's more than that, actually. I have something to give you. I'm supposed to tell you it's from Dr. Oliver," Jessie stated as she pulled the wooden box out of the back pack she was carrying.
Kira took the box and traced the symbol on the front with her finger. She looked into Jessie's eyes and she knew what it was. Opening the box, the familiar yellow glow covered her face. Jessie watched as she held the Dino Gem in her hand and saw the powers re-enter her body. She took the gem and placed it in her morpher and put the morpher on her arm.
"Welcome back to active duty, Kira," Jessie smiled. "I guess this means you're ready to work."
"Just tell me where to go and what to do."
Fifteen minutes later, after explaining the mission to Kira, the two girls walked back into the gymnasium and saw the equipment set up. On the way there, they had heard Tanya on the intercom ask for any teachers currently not with students to come to the gymnasium. By the time they arrived there were about twenty teachers and Kira's band in the room.
Tanya began speaking to the group.
"These people are with NASADA. They infiltrated the force field with the help of the Power Rangers. They are working with the Rangers to get us out of here. I know this may be a little scary but it is necessary to help our children and get them to safety. I am going to let Commander Andros explain what is going to happen."
Andros stepped forward.
"Over the years, NASADA has worked side by side with the Power Rangers to develop technology to help protect the citizens of our world. This machine in front of you is one of those. This is a transporter. It has the ability to take you from one location to another. You wonder how the Power Rangers can get around as fast as they do, well this is it. You guys will be the first ones to go through. The transporter will take you to NASADA headquarters where members of our team will be there to help you. We are going to continually send people out until no one remains. Does everyone understand?"
No one in the room said a word. It was obvious that they were nervous.
"Okay well let's begin. Cassie, contact Command Centre," Andros ordered. "High School to Command Centre. Come in Command Centre."
They heard Billy's voice come through the small speaker.
"Command Centre here. Everything is good to go. Transportation can begin as soon as we have confirmation from NASADA."
Cassie continued.
"High School to NASADA. Come in NASADA."
"This is NASADA, Cassie. This is Kathryn Hilliard. I will run the operation from NASADA."
"Thanks Kat. Are we ready to begin?" Cassie asked.
"We are up and operational. Begin when ready."
"Alright," Andros looked to the teachers and band in the bleachers. "Who wants to go first?"
No one volunteered. Members of Kira's band looked to her. She nodded her assurance. They stood up and walked forward.
"Okay guys," Jessie began. "Five at a time. Stand right in these five circles."
The five band members stood stiff. You could tell they were scared.
"Five to transport, now" Cassie said into the headset.
The five guys disappeared. There was a gasp of air from those watching.
"Kat, can you give me confirmation of their arrival?" Cassie requested.
"Affirmative. All five are safe and sound. Ready to continue transport."
Andros looked to Tanya. "Bring us two classes every ten minutes. Start with Alyssa Enrile's class. She will be able to help Kat on the other side," Andros ordered.
Tanya left the gym and only a few moments later she could be heard over the intercom calling Miss Enrile's and Mr. Coleman's classes to the gym.
Three hours later, the final class was being sent to NASADA. Tanya had called all the administrative and secretarial staff in, and they were in line to be transferred.
Finally the only ones that remained were Andros, Cassie, Jessie, Kira, and Tanya.
"Okay Tanya, it's your turn." Andros said.
Tanya looked to Jessie and Kira.
"You two girls give Nemesis hell! Especially you, Kira. You got to represent for us Yellow Rangers," she said with a smile before being transported.
"Okay Andros, you and Cassie need to go. I can take it from here," Jessie stated.
Jessie took the headset from Cassie and the two Space Rangers took their spots in the transporter.
"Be careful, Jessie. We'll be watching from NASADA if you need anything," Cassie stated.
"I'm not worried," Andros grinned. "With the Mystic, Spirit, and DinoThunder Rangers working together, there is no way Nemesis can win."
"Thanks guys! Two to transport, now," Jessie said into the head set.
Andros and Cassie disappeared.
"Guess it's just the two of us now?" Kira joked.
"I need to get you back to the Command Centre so you can get a full briefing on what we're up against," Jessie said pulling out her communicator. "Jessie to Billy."
"Billy here. Are you ready to come home?" he asked.
"More than ready. It's me, Kira, and this equipment." She said and looked to Kira. "You might want to hold on to my arm. This takes some getting used too."
The girls were transported to the Command Centre leaving the school empty.
Upon arrival, Jessie left Kira to check out the viewing screen. Kira immediately saw Trent and Ethan and ran to familiar faces.
"Any indication that they figured out what we were doing?" Jessie asked.
"None," said Phillip. "It looks like we got a way with it."
"Well let's just hope that Tommy can lead Kimberly and Jacob to what we need. Otherwise getting those kids out of the school will be the least of our worries," Jessie concluded.
She watched the screen as the indicators for Kimberly Hart, Jacob Hart, Lyndsay Tate, Tommy Oliver, and Conner McKnight all convened at a cave near the ruins of the original command centre.
