I do not own Power Rangers SPD. Disney does. I do not own Dino Thunder. Saban Enterprise does.
The only thing I do own is my character Emma.
The Tyrannodrones put me in a locked room that sort of reminded me of the inside of a jail cell, so I couldn't escape, even though I tried.
"You can't escape white ranger." I turned around and saw the Time Traveler, in the cell next to me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"The same as you." The Time Traveler said. "I was captured so you would not be able to escape.
"What?"
"They are going to make you evil, White Ranger." I froze.
"No…"
"Yes, they captured me so we couldn't escape." The Time Traveler stated. "And I thought I was getting you away from that."
"Wait…what?" I said confused. "Do you mean….?"
"Yes, I do mean that the Dark Wizard was planning on making you evil."
"You're lying." I stated.
"The Leonid's Meteor Shower begins on November 17th."
"So?" I stated. "The 17th of November has long gone."
"He has something, the Dark Wizard, be he didn't tell me what he had. He just said he could turn you evil the week of the shower. He hired me to take the other rangers away, so he'd have easy access."
"But you took me instead. Why?"
"At least here, you will be able to break the brain-wash." The Time Traveler stated. "With the Dark Wizard you would have been forever evil."
"So you saved me?" The Time Traveler nodded. "I can get you out of there." I said. The Time Traveler looked up. "Electricity and water don't mix." I said, showing a water ball. "But you have to make a few promises."
"I'm listening."
"You can't leave until I'm no longer evil, you have to bring us back to our time and when we get back, you surrender to SPD." I stated. "Promise me these three things and I can get you out and make sure your sentence at SPD is short and sweet." I explained. "If you don't follow…"
"I promise."
"Seriously?" I said confused. "That was easy."
"I've saved your life once before and I will keep doing it."
"Have you been spying on me?"
"Time will tell." I threw a water ball at the keypad holding the Time Traveler. The Time Traveler stepped out of the cell.
"Someone's coming. Hurry." I said. "And don't forget the promises you gave me."
Tommy, Kira, Ethan, Trent and Connor were at the Command Center. Hayley was working at the computer, suddenly she spoke.
"Tyrannodrones at the park."
"Can you four handle them?" Tommy asked. Kira, Ethan, Connor and Trent nodded.
"We've got this. Let's go guys." Connor said. The four of them left. It wasn't long after the four Dino Rangers left when Hayley found something.
"Tommy, you might want to see this." Tommy came up behind Hayley as she made the video bigger.
"It's Emma…"
"It's worse than that." Hayley stated. She turned and looked at Tommy. "She's controlling the Tyrannodrones."
"So Mesagog made her evil." Tommy sighed. "What is he up to?"
"How are we going to save Emma if she's evil?" Hayley asked, but before Tommy could reply, Hayley continued. "The rangers need your help." Tommy nodded and hurried off.
"Come on Emma! It's us, remember?" Connor said in his red ranger outfit. "Connor, remember?" He dodged an attack.
"She's been turned evil." Kira said quickly finishing off some Tyrannodrones. Tommy showed up.
"Dr. O, you arrived just in time." Ethan said. "Emma's been…"
"Turned evil, I know." Tommy said quickly. Tommy ran over to Connor. "Help the others." Connor didn't hesitate and went to help Kira, Ethan and Trent fight off the Tyrannodrones.
"So Black Ranger, it's you and me."
"Come on Emma…This isn't you. Snap out of it!" Tommy said.
"Of course it's me." I smiled. "Evil suits me."
"Come on Emma, remember me. I'm your friend, Tommy. We've known each other since 1993. You can shake this."
"Tommy….Help me…" I said, back in control of my own body, but I was quickly back to being evil. "We'll be back." The Tyrannodrones and I left. The rangers hurried over to Tommy.
"Well…that was weird." Trent said slowly.
"Hey Dr. O, are you ok?" Kira asked.
"Yeah." Tommy said. "Power Down." He demorphed. "I need to make a few phone calls. Meet you back at the Command Center." The four rangers nodded and left as Tommy grabbed his cell phone. He dialed a number. The phone rang a few times before someone answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey man, it's Tommy."
"Hey Tommy, what's up?"
"Look, we have a situation." Tommy said. "How fast can you get to Reefside, California?"
Tommy was waiting at the park. It was around 10AM Saturday morning. He didn't tell Hayley or the other rangers what he was planning. He was sitting next to a tree grading papers when he was approached.
"Long time, no see, Tommy." Tommy looked up and smiled. He put his papers in his bag before standing.
"Thanks for coming Jason." Tommy said, giving Jason a hand shake and a pat on the back. He smiled and faced the person next to Jason. "Hey Zack." They shook hands as well.
"How many more people we waiting for?" Zack asked.
"We'll, we're still waiting on Billy, Trini, Kim, Adam, Aisha, Rocky, , Justin, TJ, Carlos, Andros, Zhane, Leo, Damon, Carter and Chad. So 15."
"Kim, Trini, and Billy are riding together." Jason stated.
"Adam, Rocky, and Aisha too." Tommy stated. "TJ, Justin and Carlos in another."
"We'll, Trini, Billy and Kim should be here shortly." Zack said.
"Adam said around 10:30." Tommy said as three more people arrived. "I haven't heard from Andros, Zhane, Leo, Damon, Carter or Chad yet."
"Hey guys." A black haired woman said.
"Trini. Kim. Billy. Long time no see." Zack said, giving Trini a hug. Jason gave a high five to Billy and got a hug from Kim. Trini exchanged hugs with Tommy and Jason. Billy shook hands with Tommy and Zack. Zack then hugged Kim.
"What's the plan?" Trini asked.
"I'd rather wait to explain it to everyone." Tommy stated. He sat back down next to the tree. "And that leaves us…" Tommy looked at his watch. "A half hour." Tommy said, grabbing his bag and started working. Everyone followed by sitting around him.
"What'cha got there? Homework?" Zack asked jokingly,
"Actually, yes." Zack froze.
"Seriously?" Zack asked.
"My students' homework." Tommy stated. "I'm a high school teacher."
"What do you teach?" Trini asked.
"Science, but my main focus is Paleontology."
"Dinosaurs." Billy clarified.
"Wonder what sparked that idea." Jason chuckled. Tommy put his papers away, knowing nothing was going to get done with his old friends around.
"Well, that might have helped."
After a while, Tommy's cell phone rang.
"Hey Adam. What's up?" Tommy said as he answered his phone.
"We're gonna be a little late. We're stuck at some train tracks. TJ, Justin, and Carlos are behind us."
"Alright, let us know when your close then."
"Will do." And the phone conversation is over.
"What did Adam want?" Kim asked, since Trini, Billy, Zack and Jason were talking and didn't notice Tommy's phone ring.
"They're going to be late. All six of them." Tommy said.
"You want to go for a walk?" Kim asked.
"Sure." Tommy and Kim stood up. Tommy slung his shoulder bag over his shoulder. Kim and Tommy left.
"Master, I'm bored. Can I go play?"
"Of course Calico, my pet." I said. "But first, send down some Tyrannodrones to make the rangers tired. I want you focus on the Black Ranger." I said. "When the plan is ready. I'll come get you." Calico left.
"You haven't changed Tommy, not really." Kim stated.
"Nor have you Kim."
"Who knew we'd see each other again."
"No one." Tommy stated. "To Emma, history is changing."
"Good point." Kim stated. "But, I guess I'm ok with this."
"Me too." Tommy smiled. Suddenly, Calico appeared, stopping Kim and Tommy's walk.
"My master sent me down to play with the rangers." Calico laughed. "My Tyrannodrones are having fun with your friends."
"Oh no, Jason and the others." Kim stated quickly.
"Come on." Tommy said, grabbing Kim's hand to pull her away from Calico. They started running back towards the others. "Come and catch me Calico." Tommy said, still running.
"I didn't want to play tag." Calico said following Tommy and Kim got to Jason and the others. They noticed they were surrounded by Tyrannodrones. Tommy and Kim ran up to the others. Adam, TJ, Justin, Carlos, Zhane, Andros, Damon, Leo, Carter and Chad were there.
"Can you guys handle these things?" Tommy asked.
"We'll do our best." Carter stated quickly.
"I'll deal with Calico." Tommy said as Calico appeared.
"Tyrannodrones. Attack!" Tommy dropped his bag.
"Dino Thunder Power up." Tommy said, morphing into the Black Dino Ranger. Jason noticed the morph and he wasn't the only one.
"He'll explain later, come on." Adam said. They fought off the Tyrannodrones.
"Alright Calico, it's you and me."
"Woohoo. Finally, time to have some fun." Calico said. "My master said to play with you."
"Who's your master?" Tommy asked I appeared.
"Master! You're here!"
"Emma!"
"Tyrannodrones. Enough." The Tyrannodrones disappeared. Jason, Kim, Billy, Trini, Zack, Aisha, Justin, TJ, Rocky, Adam, Carlos, Andros, Zhane, Leo, Damon, Carter and Chad looked up.
"Emma!" The 17 of them said in unison.
"Come Calico. We must discuss our plan." Calico and I were then gone. Tommy looked around and demorphed.
"Carlos, TJ, Adam, Justin, Rocky, Aisha, Leo, Damon, Andros, Zhane, Carter, Chad when did you guys get here?"
"Right as these….Tyrannodrones appeared." Adam stated.
"So, what's going on?" Zhane asked.
"We better not discuss it here. We'll head to the Command Center. You can follow me." Tommy looked at Andros, Zhane. "You guys need a ride?"
"Yeah." Andros said simply.
"Tommy, can I ride with you?" Adam asked. Tommy nodded. "Thanks." Everyone headed to the parking lot and climbed into their vehicles.
"Andros. Zhane. You can join us." Chad offered. Andros and Zhane nodded.
"Thanks." Andros said. Tommy and Adam climbed into Tommy's jeep. Trini, Kim, and Billy went to Trini's van. Rocky, Aisha, and Justin climbed into Rocky's truck. TJ and Carlos climbed into TJ's Car. Jason and Zack got in Jason's car. Carter, Chad, Leo Damon, Andros and Zhane all jumped into the Lightspeed Jeep. Tommy's jeep lead the way to the Command Center, followed by Jason's car, Trini's van, Rocky's truck, the Lightspeed Jeep and TJ's car.
"Whoa, this is your Command Center?" Zack asked. "It's a cave."
"But it's well hidden." Tommy moved towards the monitor, but did not sit down. The others, however, did.
"So, what's going on?" Carter asked. "Emma's evil, so…what do we have to do with this?"
"I have a plan, it's a long shot, but I believe it will work." Tommy said, turning to face the others.
"How did this happen?" TJ asked.
"Mesagog." Tommy said. "He kidnapped her, turning her against us."
"So what's the plan?" Zack asked as the doors opened. The 17 retired rangers turned.
"Hey Dr. O…" Kira stopped mid-sentence. Connor, Ethan, Kira, and Trent looked around.
"I didn't think this many people could fit in here." Ethan whispered to his friends."
"Trent, Connor, Ethan, Kira. Welcome." Tommy said.
"Uh…Dr. O, what's going on?" Kira asked.
"Who are all these people?" Connor asked.
"Fellow Rangers." Tommy told the four teens. "I called them so they could help rescue Emma."
"Did they say Doctor?" Kim asked Tommy.
"Now is not the time. Remember, Emma is evil."
"So, what's the plan?" Connor asked.
"We try to get her to remember us." Tommy stated.
"Yeah…since that worked so well for us yesterday."
"Maybe it didn't work for you, Connor, but I got through." Connor, Kira, Ethan and Trent exchanged glances. Jason, Adam and Rocky started chatting with Chad and Carter. Kim and Aisha were whispering with Trini, Zack and Billy. TJ, Justin and Carlos were quietly talking to Andros, Leo, Zhane and Damon.
"Tommy, are you sure this will work?" Trini asked, turning to face him.
"It worked for the Zeo Rangers when I was brain-washed."
"Yeah, but Tommy, that was the Machine Empire." Jason stated. "This is different."
"And when I was working for Rita as the green ranger, you guys didn't stop until Rita's control over me was broken." Tommy said. "We've got to try. We can't let her leave until she's herself."
"Tommy's right." Billy said. "There were plenty of times where she was willing to help us when we needed it the most."
"I agree with Billy." Andros said. "We need to try."
"Ok, so how are we going to find Emma?" Justin asked
"Yeah." TJ spoke. He looked around at the others. "Getting Emma to recognize us might be easy if we can find her."
"And there the problem." Tommy said.
"What do you mean?" Aisha asked.
"We won't be able to go to Mesagog's lair…portals are needed."
"So she needs to surface?" Leo asked.
"Exactly."
"What should we do?" Connor asked.
"We wait." Tommy said. "By the sounds of it, they have a plan."
"So, we'll have to be prepared." Jason stated.
"But we don't know what the plan is." Ethan stated. "How can we prepare if we don't know the plan?"
"Easy." TJ said. "We plan for the worse possible scenario."
"Exactly." Carter agreed.
"Mesagog is probably planning a distraction." Kira stated.
"He probably expects us to focus on saving Emma and not Reefside." Trent added.
"They have a point." Billy said. "Mesagog must know how important Emma is."
"And Mesagog knows that we'll do anything to save her." Connor added.
"Exactly." Tommy said. Suddenly the door opened and Hayley entered.
"Tommy, you wouldn't believe…" Hayley stopped when she noticed 17 new pairs of eyes staring at her.
"Well hidden?" Zack asked. Tommy ignored him.
"What's going on Hayley?" Tommy asked as Hayley sat down and started working.
"Well, I was thinking about Emma and how to save her….I can see you may be a step ahead of me."
"What the plan?" Tommy asked.
"Spark her memory." Hayley said, turning to face Tommy. "It's the only way."
"We're on the same page then."
"Well?" Hayley asked, looking from Tommy to everyone else. "How much do you know about Emma?" Tommy looked at his friends and fellow rangers. Jason stood up.
"We know that she's the SPD White Ranger." Jason said. Billy stood up.
"Her fellow rangers' names are Sky, Syd, Bridge and Z." Kim stood up.
"She had a fight with them before she came to 1993 with the Time Traveler." Zack stood up next.
"She's only been a Power Ranger for a few months." Trini got to her feet.
"She can control water." Tommy smiled.
"That's good. Anything else?" Tommy asked. Justin stood up.
"She felt as though she didn't deserve to be a ranger." TJ jumped up.
"Be she does deserve it." Adam stood up.
"She beat Tommy and Rocky at sparring once." Adam stated.
"With your help." Tommy added.
"What else can we say to help Emma?" Kim asked.
"I think I remember Zordon saying something when Tommy was brain-washed by the Machine Empire…What was it?" Adam wondered. Billy, Jason, Rocky and Adam looked at each other.
"It was something like…Tommy's memory…of your…" Billy started slowly. "Friendship is his only chance." Billy finished.
"So, what you're saying is…our friendship should be enough to help her remember who she is?" Trini asked.
"Exactly," Billy said. "It's what the Zeo Rangers had to do in order to help Tommy remember who he was when the Machine Empire brain-washed him." Billy explained.
"If you think it that will work, let's go for it." Damon finally spoke. "But you guys have known her longer than we have."
"True, but think about it Damon, she helped us out." Leo stated. "Tried to at least. We chose to come help her, just like she would have done for us."
"Yeah, and Andros and I chose to come because of the fact she got through to Andros and they became close and me and her just got along so well." Zhane pointed out.
"And even when she couldn't morph, she was always trying to be a power ranger." Chad added.
"The only thing I don't like about this is that we can't get to her." Kim stated.
"Yeah, same here." Aisha, Justin, Trini and Zack said in unison.
"You don't think the longer she's evil, the harder it will be to get her to remember?" Kira asked. That is when Tommy, Billy, Jason, Andros, Leo and Carter looked at each other, worried.
"I guess it's a good thing that we're all here then." Jason stated. "I have a feeling it will take all of us to get Emma back."
The rest of the day, everyone did their own thing…kind of. Kira, Trent, Connor and Ethan left and headed towards Cyber Café. T.J, Justin, Carlos, Trini, Aisha, Carter, Chad and Billy headed to the hotel where they requested rooms. Jason, Zack, Kim, Andros, Adam and Zhane stayed with Tommy at Tommy's house. Leo and Damon went back to Terra Venture, but would be back. Tommy entered his house from the Command Center. Jason, Zack, Kim, Adam, Andros and Zhane followed behind him. Tommy looked at his fellow rangers.
"You are welcome to stay here until Emma is no longer evil." Tommy said. "I've got another spare bedroom across from the room Emily is staying in. I've got two couches in the living room and one in my office. I do have an air mattress and some sleeping bags as well."
"Thanks man, but we don't want to intrude." Jason stated.
"No, it's alright." Tommy said. "Make yourselves at home. I'll be in my office grading." Tommy turned and headed to his office. Kim, Jason, Zack, Adam, Andros and Zhane looked at each other.
"I'll go talk to him." Kim said, following Tommy to his office. Jason, Zack, Adam, Andros and Zhane got comfortable in the living room.
Tommy was sitting at his desk, grading his student's papers, when Kim knocked at the open door. Tommy looked up and took his glasses off when he saw Kim.
"What's up Kim?" Tommy asked. Kim walked over to Tommy's desk and sat down on the couch nearby.
"I was wondering the same thing about you Tommy." Tommy looked at Kim and set his glasses down. "What's wrong?" Kim asked. "And you don't need to lie to me." Tommy got out of his seat and sat down next to Kim on the couch.
"I feel…responsible for what happen to Emma." Tommy said. "I guess it's just that I was trying so hard to prevent this sort of thing from happening to Emma that I made it happen." Kim looked at Tommy. "Mesagog and Elsa were able to find out what was important to me and figured out how special and important Emma was."
"You can't blame yourself, Tommy." Kim said simply. "We all were expecting something like this to happen sooner or later." Kim smiled. "At least it happened when she was with you."
"I was hoping it would never happen." Tommy pointed out.
"But it did, and we all expected it when we first met Emma and heard her story." Kim stated. "Mesagog is just smarter than Rita, Lord Zedd and the others."
"And that scares me."
"We will save her Tommy." Kim stated. "And if Emma sends Calico or Tyrannodrones down, we'll be ready." Kim smiled. "And I think Emma is looking for a fight with a certain ranger."
"You think I could lure her out?"
"It's possible." Kim stated. "She sent Calico to you, not the town or the other rangers, but you." Tommy was in deep thought.
"You're right." Tommy said. "Emma is focused on me." Tommy looked at Kim. "Somewhere in her mind she remembers me." Tommy explained.
"Well, you said so yourself. She remembered you when you were fighting." Kim pointed out.
"And it didn't last long." Tommy added. "She had control over herself for just enough time to ask for help."
"Really?" Kim and Tommy looked up to see Jason in the doorway. "She asked for help?" Jason asked, leaning against the wall.
"Yeah." Tommy said. "That's what gave me the idea to call you guys." Tommy looked from Kim to Jason. "I thought that if I could get through to her, just for a brief second, then maybe, just maybe, a few others could help break Mesagog's hold on her."
"It's worth a shot." Jason said. "We just have to get Emma to surface."
"Don't worry." Tommy said seriously. "She's looking for the black ranger. The Black ranger will look for her."
Winter Break, finally. I seriously had no time to work of Fanfics, but I have the next three weeks off and I PROMISE to update more than once. Spring Semester starts Jan. 13th. My schedule is most likely going to be the same as this past Semester.
Keep checking my profile to get updates!
