"Wow look at this stuff," Kira insisted, glancing around at the ancient Egyptian artifacts, "Can you imagine what it must have been like to live back then?"

"Yeah, I can," Cassidy said, with a huff, "The Egyptians totally understood the importance of style and class," she flipped her hair over her shoulder, "So I would fit right in."

Kira nodded her head, at least Cassidy was being somewhat nicer to her since she got her the reporter job. Ms. Porter, their history teacher, continued to lead the class further into the exhibit, "And this is the Sarcophagus of the ancient pharaoh Tutenhawken. He was a feared leader, who was believed to have mystical powers."

"Cool," Ethan said, as he wandered around the exhibit, before he froze, staring at the side of the Sarcophagus, which was covered in Hieroglyphics.

"Weird," Connor said, peering over Ethan's head at the ancient writing, "What does it say?"

"The legend is," Ms. Porter continued after hearing Connor's question, "that Tutenhawken was able to put hexes upon his enemies," she paused for a second, noting that she had the attention of Kira and her friends, even Connor, who didn't usually pay attention in class, "The exact translation is unclear, but these writings are believed to be some sort of curse."

"That is so beyond cool man," Ethan said as he pulled out his notebook, "I have to write this stuff down," he told Trent, who was standing next to him excitedly as he started to copy the hieroglyphs.

"Why?" Trent asked, sure they were supposed to take notes on the exhibit for an upcoming test but that didn't include the hieroglyphs.

"So I can decipher them," Ethan said as if it was a no brainer, "It will be like cracking an ancient computer code," he said with a huge grin.

"In other words, it speaks to his inner cyber geek," Connor said with a smirk as Kira shrugged.

"He's a blue, blue's love a good challenge," Kira added with a shrug, "Just be careful Ethan, I sure don't want to be on the receiving end of one of his curses."

"Oh come on," Ethan insisted, "You guys don't actually believe in all that stuff, do you?"

Kira looked at Ethan in disbelief, "Have you met my family? A curse like that is a typical Tuesday afternoon." With that, she grabbed Connor's hand and allowed him to pull her away from Ethan.

"Really, curses happen that often in your family?" Connor asked, "How come I haven't heard about that before now."

"You haven't heard of the Keeper's Curse?" Kira asked, "It assures that when one thing goes wrong, a lot of things go wrong. Remember what happened to Dad and the amber."

Trent glanced down at his feet, "I didn't have any control and I didn't know that it would cause so much trouble."

"It probably wouldn't have if it wasn't for the fact that Dad's biological family was cursed in the early fifteenth century by some wacko they were trying to stop from killing innocent lives during some witch hunt that took place in England."

...

Kira and Connor watched in amusement as Ethan typed away on his computer, "I just need to translate a couple more symbols," he muttered.

"Are you getting extra credit or something?" Connor asked.

"No, this is more of a personal challenge, Tutenhawken might be the king of Egypt, but I'm the king of codes."

"Are you sure about this?" Kira asked, "Ms. Porter said that there might be a curse."

Ethan snorted, "This is about technology, hard facts, not crazy legends."

"My family's whole history is a crazy legend," Kira pointed out, as the translation popped up.

"'The first to read this is... first curse," Ethan muttered.

"Dude you're cursed," Connor said, "Better leave before it rubs off or something."

Ethan rolled his eyes, wondering what exactly Kira saw in Connor, "It was just put there to stop tomb raiders."

"Hmm...mmm," Connor said.

Ethan turned around to look at Kira, "Kira back me up here."

"I told you not to read it," Kira said, getting up, "Keeper's Curse, struck again."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Ethan demanded.

"You'll see," Kira said over her shoulder as she got up and left.

Ethan waved his hand at her, "Trust me, nothing is going to happen," Just then his watch beeped, "Five thirty?" he gasped checking the time on his computer, "I promised Mom that I would pick her up from work. It was the only way she would let me take the car." With that he stood up, grabbing his laptop which slipped out of his hand, landing on the floor where it suddenly admitted a cloud of smoke.

"My laptop," Ethan gasped, "My games, my finals, my life," he gasped.

"It could be worst," Connor announced, "At least it's a new laptop, you still have a warranty on it right?"

"Yeah right," Ethan muttered, slowly leaving the cafe.

...

Kira and Connor were just hanging out in the lab when Ethan slowly limped down the stairs, causing Kira to gag, "What happened to you?"

"The car broke down on my way to pick up Mom, I was attacked by tyrannodrones for no reason, and I was thrown into a crate of fish."

"Have you considered showering?" Connor asked, wrinkling his nose.

"I've taken two showers and I still can't get the smell off."

"I warned you about the curse," Kira said.

There was a creak as her father appeared on the bottom of the stairs, "What curse, don't tell me The Keeper's Curse is acting up again, what happened?"

"Ethan translated something from the Tutenhawken exhibit even after we were warned that it was probably a curse and now he's been cursed," Kira said giving Ethan a dirty look as she spoke.

"How was I suppose to know that the curse was real?"

"Magic, monsters, and mystical powers are real, yet you can't wrap your head around the fact that hexes and curses are?" Kira asked, "I warned you and warned you!"

Tommy opened his mouth, ready to interrupt what could easily become a full out argument when the alarm went off, he rolled his eyes to the ceiling, for once thankful for a monster attack, "The Warehouse district," he announced, glancing at the screen, "Trent and I'll stand by."

"Why do you and Trent always stand by?" Connor asked.

"Because I'm the Mentor and Trent's powers aren't stable," Tommy insisted, "Now go."

...

Connor groaned as he picked himself off the ground, "Are you guys okay?" he demanded.

"Yeah," Kira stated, "But that last blast threw us out of morph."

Ethan groaned, rubbing his shoulder, "I think a sprained my shoulder," he announced.

"Then we better morph quick before Cassidy shows up," Connor shouted, "Ready?"

"Ready," Kira and Ethan shouted, raising their morphers, "Dino Thunder power up!"

All three of them froze as nothing happened.

"Dad!" Kira called out, "We need reinforcements, Now!"

...

"No, no, no, no, no," Tommy shouted, typing away at the computer in panic, "I need Jason, Adam, and Aisha here now!"

"What's wrong!" Kim asked, appearing on the bottom of the stairs.

"The others have lost their power to morph, and I fear that their other powers went with it." Tommy explained, jumping up, "I've sent a distress call to Jason, Adam, and Aisha, they should be here soon, but I better get down there before Cassidy spreads widespread panic over the fact that the power rangers didn't show up to a battle."

"Be careful," Kim pleaded.

"Don't worry," Tommy insisted, "As long as you stay safe that monster can't get to me," He pressed a kiss on her forehead before calling out his power couple morphing call, "Pink, Green, and White, Unite!"

...

"What do you mean the power rangers didn't show up?" Cassidy demanded, shoving her microphone into Kira's face.

"They didn't show up," Kira snapped, "Maybe because they got tired of you shoving your mike in their faces."

"You don't think that they've abandoned us, do you?"

"We will never abandon a city after we make a vow to defend it," a new voice replied causing Cassidy to whip around. Standing behind Devin, who was filming her interview with Kira was a new power ranger, she didn't recognize the outfit, white with a gold shield and colorful stripes on the cuff.

"And you are?" she asked, motioning for Devin to turn around so that he could catch the new power ranger on camera.

"I am the leader of the Power Rangers, as for what I am doing here, responding to a distress call that I received from the Dino Thunder Team."

"A distress call?" Cassidy echoed, surprised, once again she was going to be the lead story, "what does that mean."

"It means," Tommy growled, "that they are severely injured or worst."

"Worst?" Devin echoed this time, the color draining from his face.

"Yes, I need to make an assessment of what happened here and reassign troops to ensure that Reefside is protected."

"You know Cassidy," Kira said, slipping next to the girl, "If that monster we saw was able to take out a power ranger team, I don't want to find out what it could do to a stray reporter.

"You're right," Cassidy said, "Come on Devin, we need to head back to the station," she paused for a second, glancing at the others.

"Don't worry about them," Tommy said, "I'll make sure they get home safely."

As soon as Cassidy and Devin left, Kira let out a deep sigh, "Thanks for the save Dad, she was really grilling us."

"' Severely injured or worst?'" Connor demanded, "Why in the world does that mean?"

"It means we're dying or already well, you know," Ethan offered, "But that isn't true so why did you say that?"

"Because in the past, saying something similar has silenced interviewers and caused them to change the subject."

"The Green Ranger," Kira asked, "I think I actually heard something about the Green Ranger being dead."

"Yep," a new voice called out, "First time we ever saw anyone on your mother's bad side."

"Yeah," Another voice said, "We had a poll going about how long it would take her to snap in Switzerland."

Kira whirled around, eyes round, "Uncle Adam, Uncle Jason!" she cried, throwing herself in the arms of the original red ranger.

Jason laughed, "Hey, Kiddo," he then looked up at Tommy, "I got your message and got here as soon as we could."

"Glad you could make it so quickly, I know that you and Adam here have to worry about the Dojo, and Aisha," Tommy nodded to a yellow ranger, "I'm glad that you were able to get away from the office."

"It wasn't easy," Aisha confessed, "But luckily I've haven't opened my own practice, the others are covering for me, but I need to come up with a good excuse, I told them that it was a family emergency."

"Short and simple works best," Tommy said, "We need to figure out where that monster went, the others' powers should be returned."

"What about us?" Connor asked.

"Go to the Tutenhawken Exhibit and find a way to break Ethan's curse before one of you actually do end up badly injured or worst," Tommy ordered.

As they turned to leave Tommy shouted after them, "Kira wear your necklace Star gave you, it has a protection spell in it to prevent him from cursing you."

...

Trent, Connor, Ethan, and Kira rushed into the exhibit to find it deserted, "Guess the exhibit isn't as popular as everyone thought it would be," Connor said, "Who would have guessed that no one would care about stuff that happened four thousand years ago."

"It's because of the monster attack," Kira explained, "Everyone is trying to stay out of the way, especially since the Dino Thunder Rangers are down for the count."

"Come on, spread out, we must have missed something," Connor insisted.

"Be careful," Kira pleaded, "My necklace will protect me and Ethan's already been cursed, so the only one who can be cursed is you."

Connor slapped his hand on the Sarcophagus, "I am not going to get cursed, you know why because I am not dumb enough to try to translate any of the hieroglyphics."

Next thing he knew Kira was tackling him to the ground, "Watch what you're touching!"

Connor looked shocked to see Tutenhawken moving, "For a dude that's been died for four thousand years you sure move around great."

"Defilers of my tomb, I will put a curse on you!" Tutenhawken snarled.

Kira quickly stepped in front of Connor, "Yeah, you've cursed one too many members of my team already."

Tutenhawken eyes glowed and shot some sort of laser, which bounced off a yellow force field that suddenly appeared around Kira, a strange-looking symbol in the center.

"What, how, that's the symbol," Tutenhawken stuttered.

"That's the symbol of the Keepers protection," Kira said, "passed down from generation to generation."

"Stay away from me," Tutenhawken screamed, backing away, "Just Stay away from me!" With that, he flew off.

"Okay," Kira said, "That was weird."

"He totally freaked out when you blocked his curse," Connor pointed out, "but why?"

"I don't know, but I think I know someone who does," Kira announced, "Uncle David should have inherited Grandpa Sam's History of the Keeper Family."

"Another power ranger?" Trent asked.

"No, my dad's biological brother, their grandfather was a historian of the Keeper Family."

...

Kira sat down on the couch in the lab, "It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen, Tutenhawken totally freaked out when he found out that I'm part of the Keeper family."

Tommy frowned, "The Keeper family is an ancient one, as far as I can tell, it will not surprise me if he had dealings with one of our ancestors."

"Can we use that against him?" Ethan asked.

"Maybe, I don't know, we need to find a way to break the curse," Tommy insisted, "I'll contact David and see if Grandpa Sam has any information about Tutenhawken in our family histories."

"How is getting our powers back going?" Connor asked.

"Nothing so far," Aisha explained, "all I've done today so far is have to break the news to Rocky that I was in Reefside serving."

Kira burst out laughing, "I can imagine how that went."

"If Tutenhawken was defeated by a Keeper, then, maybe we can find the information on how to defeat him and break the curse in the Keeper's Histories," Ethan suggested.

"I'm contacting David now."

...

Kira leaned over to were Hayley was working in the corner, screens surrounding her, "What are you even working on?" Kira asked.

"You'll see," Hayley called back, "Did your father leave with the others to fight the Terrorsaurus?"

"Yeah," Kira said, "I hate the fact that we can't help, but without powers," she sighed, "I hate sitting around doing nothing, but until Uncle David comes up with some way to break Ethan's curse."

Hayley slid out of the corner where she was working, "Don't worry Kira, I'm sure David has found something by now." As if she had caused it, at that moment the wind picked up and loose leaves blew around, slapping her in the face.

Kira let out a squeal of joy as a man appeared in the middle of the wind storm, looking very much like her father, only with longer hair, "Uncle David!" she shouted, hugging him.

David laughed, hugging his niece, "Hello Kira, listen, where's Ethan, I think I found something, but I don't know ancient Egyptian."

"He's upstairs in the living room," Kira said, "Too scared to do anything."

"Great, and where might my brother be?" he asked.

"Fighting the monster that stole our powers," Kira said, shrugging, "Come on, the sooner we break this curse the sooner things can get back to normal."

"Normal? Does your father even know what that means?"

"Does anyone in your family know what that means?" Kira asked with a smirk as she started to head upstairs with her uncle right behind her.

"I believe that I'm quite normal thank you."

"You travel in a wind storm," Kira pointed out, as she entered the living room where her teammates were watching a game on TV.

...

Ethan frowned, looking at the translated words, "I need to defeat the Pharoh in the sky."

"How," Kira asked, "your zord can't fly."

Footsteps rushing down the stair interrupted them, as they turned around to see Kira's parents rushing down the stairs with Jason, Adam, Aisha, and David.

"At least we found out that that monster was specifically designed to steal Dino Thunder powers and not powers in general," Tommy was saying, "Any luck with the translation?"

"We have something but my zord doesn't have wings, so I'll need to borrow Kira's."

"You're not going anywhere near my zord," Kira scowled.

"It wouldn't matter anyway," Tommy said, "The zords only respond to their power source, so you are out of luck, unless..." he turned to where Hayley was working, "Hayley, I need that vehicle to fly."

"You could have told me that earlier," Hayley muttered, pulling her welding mask back down.

"I think that I found a weakness for the Terrorsuras," Jason said from the main computer where he was busy typing away, "If we destroy the spike on his stomach it should release the kids' powers."

"Which Ethan would need to fight Tutenhawken with once Hayley gets that vehicle flying," Adam said.

...

Jason dropped down on top of the terrorsuras, "Hi, bet you weren't expecting us, were you?"

"What, how, I defeated the power rangers!"

Tommy rolled his eyes, "Meet my cousin, the original red ranger," he said, "He was kind enough to help me defeat you."

"Really, you think the two of you can defeat me?" the monster laughed.

"Who said it will just be the two of us?" Jason asked, "Meet the second yellow ranger, and Zeo Ranger four green, they came to help too."

Terrorsuras froze as Aisha and Adam suddenly attacked, which allowed Tommy to make his move, slicing the spike off with a quick slash of Saba.

"Connor I think we have a go situation," Jason said, "We can use your help."

Five minutes later the Red and Yellow dino thunder rangers showed up. "Ethan's taking care of Tutenhawken," Connor explained.

...

Ethan collapsed onto the couch in the lab, exhausted, "That was brutal," he groaned, "If I ever decide to translate anything that might be a curse, slap me."

"Okay," Connor said, raising his hand, only for Kira to grab it, shaking her head.

"Connor," she said in a low growl.
