Chapter Twelve – The New Team

Jen, Wes, Hayley, Tommy, and Jason were sitting in the lab. Hayley handed Jen a picture she had printed.

"Do you recognize him?" she asked

"Myke! Yeah I know him."

"What's his deal?" Tommy asked

"He worked for Timeforce but was ended up being a spy for the other side. We figured it out when he became obsessed with these powerful lasers that had been made. One day he stole all of them and used them to take over planets to far for us to scan. Then the rock was made. It had more power than the ranger power I had. It took energy from the morphing grid and in theory could block out the most powerful bombs around. It could also be turned into something worse than the worse bomb. Once he heard about it of course he wanted it and not to protect the planets he had. So, Timeforce tricked him and caught him while he was trying to steal it. He's a strong guy in the muscle department just not so much the brain department. In the fight, the rock was thrown into the time stream. It was supposed to show up somewhere a few minutes in the past but never showed. Then we put Myke into the time stream trying to send him to the ice age but instead we sent him on the same path as the rock and both were lost." Jen explained

"So why is he here?" Wes asked

"The rock must of came out here and he came out with it. If he gets a hold of the rock here, it won't really matter because he doesn't have any of the equipment to energize it. While he's here though he might try to find powerful sources that no longer exist in the future so he can get back at Timeforce. He blames Timeforce for the death of his parents when everyone knows that he accidentally killed them when he was playing with a laser."

"That's horrible." Hayley said

"Does this happen to be the rock?" Tommy asked

"Yep. That would be it."

"Well, how does this thing work?"

"Well the only way that thing can work is if the equipment is brought here to the past. The rock is also needed to get Myke before he hurts anyone else. Tons of the deaths in the galaxy are his fault. The only way to get him back to the future is to call upon the most advanced power rangers ever but they aren't even born yet in the future."

"How do you know who they are if they haven't been born yet?"

"The morphing grid decides who gets to be power rangers. So the people it chose haven't been born yet."

"Then how can we get Myke back to the future without the rangers?"

"We could try to find their past relatives and hope the power would work for them."

"Who are the relatives?"

"Well that's confidential. I could call Trip and have him bring the files though."

"I don't think we have a choice."

Jen nodded and set up the communication system. Trip showed up on the screen immediately. Jen and Wes explained the situation. Trip agreed to get the files and bring them to the past along with Katie, Lucas, and Lucas's girlfriend Nadira who also knew a lot about Myke that Timeforce didn't know. When her dad was still bad, they had a lot of contact with Myke. Everybody else had to wait. Tommy, Jason, and Wes started to catch up since the last time they had been together. Jen went up to stairs to help Kimberly make cookies. Hayley ran scans around the town to see if she could track Myke anywhere.

As soon as the cookies were done, Trip and everyone showed up.

"Jen!" Katie exclaimed hugging her then hugging Wes.

"We have the files here." Trip said waving a folder

"These things were hard to find." Lucas said

"They haven't been touched since the rock was lost. That was years ago." Nadira said. Everybody except the kids gathered in the lab. This included Taylor, Eric, Karone, Zhane, Ashley, Andros, Tanya, Adam, Aisha, and Rocky. Trip broke the seal on the file and began to read who was the ancestor that could take on the power. They had figured that it was children of past rangers they just didn't know which ones.

"The fourteen year old daughter of Taylor and Eric."

"Kathleen." Taylor whispered

"The fifteen year old daughter of Zhane and Karone." Trip continued

"Nelly." Karone said

"The sixteen year old son of Aisha and Rocky."

"Wade." Rocky said

"The seventeen year old son of Jason and Kat."

"Ted." Kat said

"And the sixteen year old daughter of Tommy and Kimberly." Trip finished

"Nancy." Kimberly said

"So how does this work?" Jason asked

"How does what work?" Katie asked

" How do they become power rangers?"

"They have to be injected with power from the rock. Since the rock is connected to the morphing grid it will give them the power to morph since it already knows that Myke is out there." Katie explained

"Injected? As in a shot?" Karone asked

"A painless one."

"Ok let's gather up the kids." Tommy said

The group split up deciding to have the kids 'injected' the next day so this could all soak in. Tommy sat at the table and Kimberly came over to join him handing him coffee.

"What's wrong?" Tommy asked and Kimberly shrugged

"Nothing!" she said and Tommy stared at her "Ok fine. It's just, I'm scared! We've been rangers and we know the dangers and the risks of being one. You've been hurt and ton and I've been hurt a ton. We all have! This is our daughter we are talking about. I thought the rangering was behind us after you were the black one!"

"I know, I'm scared to. If we don't let Nancy become a ranger then they're down someone to help fight. We've never been known to miss a fight if something was wrong and we are not going to start with our daughter!" Tommy said and a small smile graced Kimberly's lips. Tommy bent over and kissed her lightly but Kimberly deepened it.

"Get a room!" Thomas yelled walking into the room. Kimberly pulled away and smiled.

"May I help you?" she asked

"Um…yeah, Nancy dared me to hit a baseball over the roof. But I didn't realize how high our house was and instead the ball went through the window."

"See. She may not be mature enough to handle the power. Come on Thomas show me what window. Oh and Tommy tell her." Kimberly said leaving. Nancy slowly came down the stairs.

"What? I was sleeping." She said yawning

"Wait you were sleeping?"

"Yeah…"

"Thomas you are grounded for the next month!" Tommy shouted

"You brought me down here to yell at Thomas? That's weird Dad. Really weird."

"No…I…never mind. Just go back to bed." Tommy said and Nancy nodded before walking to the living room too lazy to go back upstairs. How was she going to be a ranger? He thought she was still weak from the accident.
