Chapter Twelve

"Hey, Bryan!" Jason called as he stepped out of his office at the dojo. "I'm closing up!"

"Alright," Bryan replied. He stepped off the mats and headed to reach for his towel. He wiped the sweat off his face and began to walk towards the front doors of the dojo.

"You've been practicing a lot, lately," Jason remarked as he locked up the doors to the dojo. "Not that I'm complaining, but didn't you say you wanted to try out of sports at your school?"

"I changed my mind. I realized how much I love martial arts. I should get paid to do it."

Jason laughed. A crackling sound came from the sky and Jason found himself surrounded but the black snakelike monsters.

"What the-" Bryan was cut off when one of the monsters took a swing at him. Luckily, he dodged the swing. He turned to his mentor and saw that Jason was in a defensive position, dodging the monsters' attacks as well.

"Bryan, keep your defense up and try to run when you can!" Jason instructed. He knew he couldn't morph in front of him.

"Need help, bro?" Jason heard just as Tommy and Rocky flipped from the sky, dressed in their Ninjetti uniforms.

"Power Rangers!" Bryan breathed.

Tommy neared Jason. "Get him home and meet at my house."

Jason nodded. "Bryan, let's go!" He grabbed Bryan just as another monster tried to kick him.

"Power Rangers!" Bryan said dumbfounded.

"Yeah, cool, let's go!"

Jason pushed Bryan in his car. He slid across the hood of the car and opened the driver's side door. As he backed out the parking space, he ran over a monster. The squishing sound grossed Jason out and he mentally reminded himself to clean his tires.

The gold ranger sped down the road as Bryan went on about the Power Rangers. He wanted to get to lab to see if anything new came up. He, too, was getting frustrated over their constant dead ends. He screeched to a halt in front of Bryan's house. He instructed his student to run in the house and not to go back to the dojo.

"Call me if anything weird comes up," Jason finished. Bryan nodded and did as he was told. Then he sped his way to Tommy's house.

"What's going on?" Jason asked the second Aisha Adam opened the door for him.

"Damon and Tammie aren't answering any of their phones," Carl said.

"Oh shush, leave them be. They need their alone time," Aisha said.

"There are monster attacking!" Carl cried.

"It's okay, Tommy and Rocky are handling it. Bryan was there so I couldn't morph."

"How's Tommy?" Kimberly asked worried.

"I'm fine beautiful," Tommy said. The gang didn't notice Tommy and Rocky teleport in.

"Why'd they attack at the dojo?" Jason asked.

"I don't know," Tommy said. He turned to Carl. "Anything?"

"Nope. Still no answer."

"Why can't we just teleport into the lab?" Rocky asked. Tommy gave a look and then slightly nodded his head towards Kimberly and Aisha.

"You guys seem to be forgetting that the 'lab' is also part of Tammie and Damon's house," Kimberly said.

"Man," Jason said. "We have got to get a new place for a lab."

Everyone nodded.
