Tommy grinned and said, looking at her. "Looks like the shelter's not closing any time soon." Claire grinned and helped Justin up onto the ring where he was lifted onto Tommy's shoulders and Justin held up the trophy, a broad smile on his face.

Now . . .

Chapter 52- Graduation

It was Graduation Day. Kat, Kim, and Jason were all there to graduate from Angel Grove High with Rocky, Adam, Claire, and Tanya. Tommy had picked his diploma up a couple days earlier. Claire and Kim had their arms linked as they walked with the others.

Kat said, looking down at the crest for Angel Grove High. "I feel bad for Justin. He has to take a placement test to see where he fits in. He's probably gotten behind with all the moving he's been through."

Claire grinned and said, looping her red hair behind her ear. "I wouldn't worry too much about him, Kat. He seems to be really smart."

"God," Kim said as Jason fell into step with them. "It feels like we were Freshman forever ago."

Claire nodded. "That it does. It hardly seems like we're graduating today."

Jason nodded, wrapping his arm around Kim's shoulders. "I know what you mean, but from here on out, it can only mean bigger and better things for us."

Claire asked, after making sure no one was around. "You guys remember that first day after you just won as rangers against Rita?" Kim and Jason nodded, grinning.

"Yeah. You totally figured us out." Claire rolled her eyes.

Flashback

The citizens of Angel Grove looked up and saw the Power Rangers standing on a rooftop. The red Ranger called out, the voice sounding strikingly familiar to Claire.

"Back off, Fang-face!"

"The good guys are here!" The Black ranger dropped into a pose.

"Get off our planet!" The Blue Ranger said, stepping up to the other two, in a pose.

"Cause were the Power Rangers!" The Yellow Ranger said, as she dropped into a pose.

"And we're not backing down!" The pink ranger went next and Claire went back to the Youth Center.

Claire was sitting at a table when Jason, Zach, Trini, Kim, and Billy walked in. She smirked and asked in a whisper while raising an eyebrow. "Save the world lately?" They're eyes widened and Zach said, being smooth as usual.

"Only pretty ladies such as yourself." Claire rolled her eyes and let it go. She knew who they were and they knew she would keep their secret.

End Flashback

Claire shrugged. "Well, I wouldn't say totally. I had my suspicions, but they weren't confirmed until after I heard you as my friends and then again as Rangers."

"Suspicions," a new voice came from behind them. "Girl you totally had us figured out from the start." They whirled around and standing there were their friends, Zach, Billy, Trini, and Aisha. Claire and Kim uttered little screams and ran over to the four.

Jason grinned and said, hugging them. "Zach, Billy, Trini, Aisha! You guys made it for Graduation!"

Billy grinned and said, holding Trini's hand. "Well, they did. I've already graduated."

Claire rolled her eyes and said, grinning at her friends. "I'm so glad you guys made it!"

Trini smiled and said, hugging Claire and Kim. "I'm glad we made it too. I was worried we wouldn't get back in time."

Zach said, as easy going as ever. "Yeah well when you use certain transport it gets you where you want to be a lot faster."

Kim laughed and asked, nudging her friend. "So, you nervous about Tommy's race car driving?"

Claire looked at her friend out of the corner of her eye as the eleven of them walked toward the seating for Graduation. "Can you tell?" The girls nodded and Claire replied. "It's not that I don't want him doing what he loves, but does it have to be something so dangerous?"

Jason replied, smirking. "No more dangerous than being a ranger. Less than, I think." Claire glared at him and Jason shut up very quickly.

"So, what are you guys going to do about," Kim looked around before continuing. "About your powers."

Zach interrupted them. "Wait, wait, wait. You guys got new powers?"

Claire nodded. "Yeah, we became the Turbo Rangers to fight Divatox after we realized the Zeo Powers weren't going to cut it?"

Trini asked, grinning. "What was Tommy's color this time?"

Claire replied, shrugging her shoulders. "Red." Trini, Zach, and Billy laughed and Claire rolled her eyes with a grin on her face.

"You guys are gonna have to explain this Zeo and Turbo business to us later." Zach said, grinning as he wrapped his arms around Claire and Kim's necks.

Kim rolled her eyes and asked, looking at Claire. "So back to my question. What are you gonna do?"

Claire looked at Adam and Tanya. Adam said, as they came up to where Rocky was making the Graduation programs. "I don't know. We'll have to pass on our powers eventually because we're all going to be doing different things in the fall."

Tanya asked Rocky, subtly changing the subject. "Hey Rocky, how are those programs coming?"

Rocky grinned. "Great. I don't want to do anything too strenuous since my back's still out of it a little." He looked up and saw Trini, Zach, Aisha and Billy. He grinned and got up to hug them. When he came to Aisha, he hesitated for a second before hugging her and asked, looking at the four of them. "You guys back for graduation?"

Zach replied, shaking hands with Rocky. "Just me, Aisha, and Trini. Billy over here's already graduated."

Rocky grinned. "Yeah, we know. He went off to Aquitar for a bit to help them solve a little problem they were having before he came back."

Zach asked, looking at Rocky. "Did you know they-" Then he noticed that Rocky's shirt wasn't red. It was blue. "Were you the Blue Turbo Ranger?"

Rocky shook his head. "No, Justin is. From what I've heard, he makes a damn good Ranger." The rangers had told Rocky the previous day all about their adventures.

Zach grinned and said, rubbing his hands together. "I wanna meet this kid."

Rocky replied, setting the graduation programs aside. "You probably will." Rocky turned to Adam and asked, his eyebrows knit together in confusion. "Hey, Adam, what ever happened to Divatox?"

"I guess she went back to wherever she came from." Adam replied, looking at the others.

On the Planet, Liaria, Divatox stood in front of hoards of her army of Piranhatrons. She said, looking down at them.

"My faithful army, I will exact revenge on those Turbo Rangers for ruining my union with Maligore! Come with me and help me destroy those Turbo Rangers!" Her words were met with great applause and she, along with her army, left for Earth.

Justin was in the Power Chamber when they heard a strange noise. Alpha said to Justin.

"It's coming from the Power Plant!"

Justin said, moving back. "I'll go check it out on my way to the guys' graduation."

"Call the rangers if you get into trouble, Justin." Zordon said, looking down at the youngest ranger.

Justin nodded. "I will, Zordon." Justin teleported out to the Power Plant and found a couple monkeys. Justin cocked his head to the side.

"What are you two doing out here by yourselves?" The monkeys chattered and Justin said, taking their hands.

"Let's get you two somewhere safe." He was about to go when he saw Elgar. Justin glared at the creature and the monkeys went out.

"Hey," Justin whispered, following them. "Come back here."

"YOU!" Elgar pointed his sword at Justin and Justin dropped into a defensive stance.

"Remember me, Elgar?"

"Sure do, Kid. Piranhatrons!" Piranhatrons appeared around Justin and he said, his morpher appearing on his wrist.

"SHIFT INTO TURBO! MOUNTAIN BLASTER TURBO POWER!" Justin took out his blaster and started firing at the Piranhatrons.

Claire looked in the crowd and didn't see Justin. She looked at the others and whispered.

"Do you guys see Justin?" Tanya and Adam looked around and shook their heads.

Adam got up and went to just out of ear shot of his classmates. He brought his communicator up to his mouth and contacted Zordon.

"Zordon, have you seen Justin?"

"He was going to check on a strange occurrence at the Angel Grove Power Plant and was to call you if he ran into trouble."

"Thanks." Adam motioned to Claire and Tanya and they got up and went over to him.

Tanya asked, frowning. "What's up Adam?"

"Justin's in trouble. He went to check out a strange occurrence at the power plant and he hasn't checked in since."

"Let's go." Claire said. Adam and Tanya nodded and they took off toward the parking lot.

Divatox was watching the rangers through her periscope and laughed. "Tick tock rangers, tick tock. You won't be able to stop my detonator in time." She laughed and when she looked at her bomb that Elgar placed in the center of the power plant, it read 45 minute 38 seconds and counting . . .

Tanya, Adam, and Claire got to the parking lot and Divatox appeared in front of them with a squadron of Piranhatrons. She laughed and Adam said, dropping into a defensive stance.

"You guys morph and get to Justin." Tanya nodded and called out, her morpher and Claire's appearing on their wrists.

"SHIFT INTO TURBO! DUNE STAR TURBO POWER!"

"WIND CHASER TURBO POWER!" Once morphed, Tanya asked, looking at Adam.

"You gonna be ok?"

Adam nodded. "I'll be fine. Go." Claire and Tanya nodded and teleported to the Angel Grove Power Plant.

Adam was fighting the Piranhatrons when he was ganged up on. He glared at the Piranhatrons and said.

"SHIFT INTO TURBO! DESERT THUNDER TURBO POWER!" He brought his communicator up to his helmet and said, contacting Zordon.

"Zordon, I need some help!"

"I'll contact Tommy right away, Adam." Adam blocked another kick and hoped Tommy got there fast.

Tommy had just finished his test trial in his uncles car when his communicator went off. He went behind a set of stairs and answered his communicator.

"I read you, Zordon."

"Adam needs your help Tommy."

"On my way." Tommy looked around to make sure no one was in hearing distance and he called out, his morpher appearing. "SHIFT INTO TURBO! RED LIGHTNING TURBO POWER!" Tommy teleported to the parking lot and beat off the Piranhatrons.

Divatox glared at them. "You won this time, but next time you won't be so lucky. Viva la Diva!" She and the Piranhatrons disappeared and Tommy and Adam joined the others at the Power Plant.
