Hey guys here you go. Those of you that read all of my stories, this is probably the last chapter I upload before Christmas.
The next day, Tommy, Jason, Adam, and Rocky were at the Blue Bay Harbor beach.
"How are we going to stop Kim with he four of us and the newbies?" Tommy asked.
"It's not going to be easy bro," Jason said.
"I know, but I wish she did not get turned evil to begin with," Tommy said.
"Maybe she turned evil so you two can get back together," Rocky said.
"Have you been drinking again man?" Adam asked.
"No, now hear me out. Tommy you were evil when the two of you met right?" Rocky asked.
"Well we met just before I turned evil, but basically yea," Tommy said.
"You two probably would not of became a couple if you two were not rangers right?" Rocky asked.
"It would have been hard, but I think we would have been became a couple of I was not a ranger," Tommy said.
"I don't know about that," Jason said scratching the back of his neck.
"Ok maybe not, until you left," Tommy said.
"Gee thanks," Jason said before he threw a handful of sand towards Tommy.
"What was that for?" Tommy asked.
"Just because," Jason said.
Adam looked towards his left when he saw some sort of figure.
"What's wrong man?" Rocky asked.
"Nothing, something over there caught my eye," Adam said pointing to the figure.
"Let's go check it out," Rocky said.
"What if it is a trap?" Tommy asked.
"Four veteran rangers, we can handle whatever it is," Rocky said.
Rocky ran in the direction Adam pointed to. The rest slowly followed. The four were relieved when they found out it was no trap. In fact Jason and Tommy were happy to see who it was.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" A man asked when he saw the four.
"Well, I am in between digs," Tommy said.
"Adam, Rocky, and myself do not need to be at the Dojo right now," Jason said.
"What brings you hear?" Tommy asked.
"I have today off, and I came here to try to relax," the man said.
"Don't you live here in town?" Jason asked.
"Yea, but I just needed to get away. I guess I have a lot on my mind. It does not help when I turned on the TV one night to hear about an evil pink ranger. I turned my head and saw the ranger in a suit almost like what Kim had when we were rangers," the man said.
"The evil pink ranger is Kim," Tommy said.
"Oh man, Tommy you must feel awful," the man said.
"It was hard at first, but I know she will be good again soon," Tommy said.
"I got an idea. How you like to be a ranger again Zack?" Jason asked.
"Me a ranger? If I say yes, will I be the black ranger again, or a new color?" Zack asked.
"You will have a new color. Not to long ago, the four of us got back into the ranger business. Rocky's red, Adam, is black, Jason is gold with his suit looking like his first suit, and I am white," Tommy said.
"I have sure missed those days. How do I become a ranger a again?" Zack asked.
"Follow us to our house. We'll do it there so nobody sees it," Tommy said.
Jason, Adam, and Rocky rode with Tommy in his new Jeep while Zack followed in his car.
"Yo Tommy, when did you get the Jeep? I figure you would drive something that is green, white, or red not black," Zack said.
"I bought it a couple of months ago. I did not want something in one of my colors," Tommy said.
"So now what do we do?" Zack asked.
"Ninjor we need you!" Tommy yelled.
"Who's Ninjor?" Zack asked.
Two streams of red orange light came into the room. The two streams came together and took the shape of Ninjor.
"I am Ninjor," he said after he materialized.
"Ninjor, we found a fifth veteran ranger," Tommy said.
"I see that falcon. Just like Jason, Zack will take on a new color," Ninjor said.
"How do you know my name?" Zack asked.
"I just do, I even knew of your arrival," Ninjor said.
"Ninjor, do the four of us need to participate?" Adam asked.
"You have to form a circle around me, close your eyes, and hold your arms up, but you do not have to say what animal you are," Ninjor said.
The five formed a circle around Ninjor. Some power flow through the five. When the power stopped, the four found their selves in their garbs Zack however, found him in a somewhat familiar color.
"Hum this is unusual, it seems that we have a repeat color," Ninjor said.
What will Trini say when she finds out my new color is her old color? Zack thought. looking over his new suit.
"Aisha had her garb like that but, she had a skirt and she had a picture of a bear," Adam said.
"Thank goodness I do not have a skirt," Zack said.
"While you have Alisha's color, you do not have her animal. You Zachary, are the lion," Ninjor said.
Isn't Dustin's zord a lion? Adam thought.
What is next, Trini, Aisha, Tanya, or Kat becoming a blue ranger? Tommy thought.
Zack posed and proclaimed himself the lion.
"Good luck my friends, and as Zordon use to say, 'May the power protect you," Ninjor said before he left.
The five reappeared in their normal clothes.
"So what do we do now?" Zack asked.
"I think you need to meet the rookies," Jason said.
"Don't worry they are great kids," Tommy said.
"Sensei, do you hear me?" Tommy said into his communicator
"Dad is mediating, is their a problem?" Cam asked.
"No, we got another veteran ranger to fight with us," Tommy said.
"Well Shane is at work and I think everyone else is at the track," Cam said.
"Let's head towards Storm Chargers first!" Jason said with a big smile.
Rocky threw a throw pillow towards Jason.
"What was that for?" Jason asked.
"You so have a thing for Kelly," Rocky said.
"You don't know that," Jason said.
Adam, Tommy, and Rocky just looked at him.
"Who's Kelly?" Zack asked.
"She is the owner of Storm Chargers," Tommy said.
Just like before Jason, Adam, and Rocky rode with Tommy while Zack followed them. When they walked in, they were greeted by Shane.
"Hey guys, what can I do for you?" He asked.
"Is Kelly around?" Jason asked.
"Sorry Jason but, your woman left to run some errands," Shane said.
"That is not why we came here. Shane, this is Zack. He is our new veteran ranger. Zack, this is Shane the rookie red ranger," Tommy said.
The two shook hands and said nice to meet you.
"So what color and zord are you?" Shane asked.
"I am yellow and the lion," Zack said.
"Sounds like Dustin," Shane said.
"I knew it," Adam said.
"Wait another male yellow ranger?" Zack asked.
"Yep, and there is a female blue ranger," Adam said.
"Man that is whack," Zack said.
"I take it you have not met the rest of the team," Shane said.
"No, are Dustin, Blake, and Hunter at the track?" Jason asked.
"Yea, I think Tori is there too," Shane said.
"I guess that is where we are headed too. See you later," Tommy said.
"See you guys later," Shane said as the vets walked out.
He so has it bad for her. Shane thought when Jason walked out.
The vets arrived at the track as Dustin, Blake, and Hunter were finishing up practice.
"Hey guys, who is this?" Tori asked pointing to Zack.
"This is Zack he is another veteran ranger who will be joining us," Jason said.
"I was the first black ranger, then Adam took my place. Now I am the new yellow ranger. I have the lion zord," Zack said.
"Cool dude, welcome to the yellow lion club. Population now two, by the way my name is Dustin,"
The two shook hands before Tori, Hunter, and Blake introduced their selves.
"I am Tori the blue ranger,"
"I am Hunter the crimson ranger,"
"I am Blake the navy ranger,"
A female blue, crimson, and navy ranger? This team is going to take a while to get use to them. Zack thought.
"So have you met Shane, Cam, or Sensei yet?" Hunter asked.
"Just Shane where do I find this Cam and Sensei?" Zack asked.
"They are at Ninja Ops. It is kind of like the Command Center back when we were first rangers. Except it is not high tech," Jason said.
"Well it was nice meeting the four of you," Zack said.
"You too man," Dustin said.
"We agree with Dustin," Blake said pointing to Hunter.
"We'll be seeing you around," Tori said.
The five made their way to Ninja Ops. Tommy took Zack through the waterfall.
"Sensei we are hear and we have someone we like you to meet," Jason said.
"What the heck do you four think you are doing bringing a total stranger in here?" Cam asked.
"Easy Cam," Tommy said before Cam cut him off.
"NO I WON'T TAKE IT EASY. THIS IS A SECRET LOCATION. YOU CAN NOT BRING RANDOM STRANGERS HERE!" Cam said.
"Now now Cam, you need to calm down. Tommy and his friends did not bring a random stranger down here. He is a veteran ranger who is joining them. Welcome Zachery, I have been expecting you," Sensei said.
"I must be dreaming because last time I check, mice do not talk," Zack said.
Cam just sighed before doing a face palm.
"First off man, he is a guinea pig, and he is their mentor," Tommy said.
"Their villain turned him into the guinea pig," Jason said.
He is also my dad, and I am sorry for my blow up," Cam said.
"It's ok, Cam right?" Zack asked.
"Yes," Cam said.
"I am Zack, I was the first black ranger, now the yellow ranger,"
"He also has a lion zord," Adam said.
"It is a pleasure to meet you," Sensei said.
"What dad said goes for me too," Cam said.
"Glad to meet you both. It is going to take me a while to get use to everything," Zack said.
"I love to stay, but I am needed with my team. Kim is on the attack," Cam said.
"We better come to back you guys up," Tommy said.
Before they left Cyber Cam showed up.
"I got things here," he said.
On the way, Cam filled Zack in on Cyber Cam.
So Zack is in the fold. Things should be interesting. I made a graphic of how I think Jason's new suit looks and a graphic of Zack sd the yellow ranger.
