I noticed Doctor O never showed up. Then I smacked myself in the head. I realized this was the day he gets taken by Tyrannodrones.
Helping my boss close for the night I saw that Ethan was still here playing his game, well hate to break it to him but he must go. Getting the Blue Ranger to quit playing his game wasn't easy but I got it done. Though I did have to put up with his questions, and quips about me and Kira. Haley came to my rescue and made him help us close, with Ethan helping we finished in record time. After saying goodbye and making sure he didn't need a ride, Haley then drove me to the house and we both decided that it would be better for her to stay and that way we can let the Rangers know what is going on from the get go and so she didn't have to waste the gas.
Walking into the Lab I went straight for Tommy's computer and brought up the communication device, luckily Haley showed me what to do in that regard. "Hey guy we have a problem here."
"Garis? I know it's the weekend but what is going on? Where's Doctor O?" Connor's voice came through the computer.
"Yeah, dude what's up? Is there a monster attack or something?" Ethan asked.
"Is everything okay?" Kira sounded a little worried. "Does this have to do with Doctor O not being at my show?"
"Doctor O is missing."
To say my friends were shocked was an understatement, they all agreed to cover over as soon as possible. If they could get away. Luckily, they were able to get here in a couple of minutes or so. Connor had apparently picked them all up. Once they got here, they all received another shock.
"Haley what are doing here?" Ethan stopped seeing the woman that ran his favorite hang out spot.
"This is supposed to be a secret." Connor stared at me, asking me why I let someone in here.
Kira, somewhat nodded. "I think a better question is, what does Haley know about all of this?" Well, Kira always was the smarter out of the two others when it came to reasoning.
"I know that Tommy is in trouble, and that you three are the only ones that could help him." Haley said looking at the three Rangers. "I've been helping Tommy prepare the Ranger energy since grad school. Who do you think built the Morphers? I mean Tommy's good with dinosaurs and fossils, but a rocket scientist he ain't."
"And let me guess, you are?" Connor said with some skepticism.
"Among other things." Hayley admitted with a nod.
Kira looked at the others. "Okay so you know who we are. You know what we are, do know where Doctor Oliver is?"
"I think I have a pretty good idea." Before leaving, Haley grabbed the disk that had the security footage of Tommy being taken. Haley moved the computer and put
played the video. It showed Tommy being taken by the Tyrannodrones. "This is a surveillance tape from a few hours ago, just as your band started to play Kira."
Connor frowned. "Why would Mesogog want Doctor O? He's just a high-school science teacher… Right?"
"You may want to watch this." Haley pressed a button on the computer and brought up the video diary and history of the current Power Rangers.
"I'm Tommy Oliver. If you're not me, then something is seriously wrong. This video diary is a confidential record. Only to be viewed in case of emergency. What your about to see is a history of my life. -"
"More dinosaur bone stories. Yawn." Connor said.
"-My history… As a Power Ranger."
"Ok unyawn"
To say the Dino Thunder Rangers were shocked would be an understatement. Though we did stop the video from time to time. For example, right after Tommy became the White Ranger.
"Why'd you stop it?" Kira asked looking at Ethan.
"Yeah, it was starting to get even more interesting." I said looking at the Blue Ranger.
"Because I'm so bugging' I can't even deal." Ethan looked like he couldn't even process the information.
Connor nodded in agreement. "Our teacher is the oldest living Power Ranger."
"Not the oldest, just the best." Haley said with a smile.
"Why didn't he just Morph when the Tyrannodrones showed up? I mean, he's a Power Ranger." Connor asked in confusion.
"Not anymore." Hayley said starting the video up again.
We stopped again once we got through Turbo.
"After that, Tommy went to college where he met yours truly, but when he discovered the Dino Gems. He knew could never escape the Power for long." Haley looked up at the rest of, explaining how she got involved in this whole thing
"Seeing as how I don't want this to be the end of the line. Where are on the subject on finding Doctor O?" Ethan asked pointing at the tech genius in the desk chair
Kira who had a thoughtful look her face brightened up. "Hey, I just thought of something. What about Invisiportals? They're all over the city. If we could find one, we could just jump into Mesogog's lab."
"I've been working on that very thing, since I discovered Tommy missing. Unfortunately, I need a while." Haley cringed slightly.
Sighing I nodded my head. "I wish we had a way of speeding up the process…" I muttered.
"Okay, so what are we supposed to do while you're doing that?" Connor asked.
Haley began to type at the computer. "Here. Watch more of your heritage. You might learn something."
"Whoa ninjas are real! I knew it!" Ethan's voice reached my ears.
Biting my lip, I quickly joined the others. Luckily my absence wasn't noticed, thank goodness for small favors. "Ninjas were always real, and really those aren't ninjas their Naruto knock offs."
"You read manga?" Kira asked looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Well yeah… but wait…How do you know what manga is?" I asked with a large grin spreading across my face, my god.
"I'll plead the fifth on that one." Kira rolled her eyes.
"Wow, and you guys call me a geek." Ethan snorted and rolled his eyes.
"Hey guys check this out. My twin brother taught me some of his ninja moves." Connor patted Ethan on the back and everyone backed up, giving the Red Ranger s
Hopefully if this works out, it will not only jolt something loose but speed up the process. "Check it out." The Red Ranger began to punch the air but the moment he showed them the spin kick, he hit the computer. Causing sparks to fly.
"Whoa!"
"Oh, please tell me that did not just happen. I think we just lost our best chance of finding Tommy." Haley said freaking out.
Rubbing the back of his head, Connor stared at the screen, as Haley tried to fix the problem. "Anything?"
"Got it!" Haley said with a grin on her face.
"Hell yes!" I breathed a sigh of relief. Good old dumb luck.
Ethan placed a hand on his head. "We are so lucky you're a genius."
"Even geniuses need help sometimes. That little jolt must've done something to the wiring, cause I'm getting something." Haley grinned and looked around at all of us, "I've almost got a lock on a portal."
However, before we could go any further, Tommy appeared on the screen. "With the return of Mesogog, it became necessary to invoke the power of the Dino Gems, should anything happen to me- "An image of the appeared on the screen of Connor, Ethan and Kira in their uniform with their civilian picture above them, but there was something different… There is a picture of me on there as well. No Ranger power under me… but still why did he put me here? Must because of my knowledge. "These four are in charge of protecting the planet."
"It's us." Kira said in shock.
"You're in good hands."
Connor nodded his head. "He really trusts us."
"He does." Haley smiled up at all of us.
"We have to save him. We owe it to him." Ethan looked at us looking for confirmation.
Kira nodded in agreement. "The whole world owes him."
"Yeah, it does. Kind of weird I'm on there, though." Hell, the world owes all Rangers everywhere. The galaxy as well.
The computer began to beep. "It worked! I've got a lock on an Invisiportal."
"Time to go save a teacher." Connor said looking at the others, and they began to leave.
"Wait you have to reach a speed of five hundred thirty-six miles per hour upon entry. Otherwise, you'll never make it past the security wall and probably be ripped to shreds", Haley warned them
"Did I forget to mention that?"
Turning around the three Rangers stared at Haley in shock.
"You know, it might be helpful to have this kind of information in advance." I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Never, fear I have something for just such an occasion." Turning around to face the computer, the resident tech genius pressed a button on the computer and a wall began to open. Revealing the Raptor Cycles.
"Sweet." Ethan said staring at the bikes with a grin.
"Amazing." Kira was in awe of the bikes.
Looking at them myself I nodded in approval. "Really awesome, you've out done yourself Haley…Makes me want one now."
Connor began to grin. "Which one's mine?"
"Huh?" Ethan looked at him confused.
"I'm kidding." Connor hastily said.
"Oh, you so weren't kidding." Ethan shook his head with a grin.
Patting the Red Ranger on the back I shook my head. "Don't worry we all had trouble learning colors… Well our problems ended at three, so… I don't know what happened to you"
"Shut up." Connor rolled his eyes, while gave me a high-five.
Haley stood from her chair and walked over and began to introduce the Rangers to their new vehicles. "These are your new Raptor Cycles. They should have you to the coordinates, in approximately. Ninety-two point seventy-five seconds."
"And when we get there?" Kira asked raising her eyebrows.
"Use your gems to activate the hyperdrive, then head straight to the portal to Mesogog's island fortress." Haley nodded at the Rangers.
Connor froze at that. "Wait, did you just say, 'island fortress'?"
"Yes, why?" Haley frowned not understanding the question.
"Well…" Connor looked reluctant to even say he was afraid of water. "Islands… they're surrounded by water."
"Usually." Haley replied not getting his point.
Ethan figured it out and shook his head with a smirk. "No… you can't swim?"
"I didn't say that!" Connor suddenly became defensive.
Deciding to step in I placed a hand on Ethan's shoulder. "Mock him later, focus on the task at hand. Connor when you get back, swimming lessons for you bud."
Hayley nodded, glad someone was keeping perspective here. "The Invisiportal will take you directly to the island. You'll never have to get wet."
"You can't swim." Ethan shook his head chuckling placing a hand on Connor's shoulder.
Rolling his eyes, the jock sighed. "Whatever dude, you guys ready?"
The rescue of Tommy Oliver was a complete success, and we had a new Dino Ranger on the team and two new Zords.
"What a night last night, new bikes, new Zords." Ethan had a large grin on his face.
Connor nodded at Ethan. "New Ranger. Well sort of new."
"Doctor O, are you going to tell us how you happened to have that Morpher ready?" Kira asked turning her head slightly.
"Right after you guys became Rangers, I got an energy reading on the tracking system. I had a good idea it was another gem." Tommy held up his bracelet, showing the Dino Gem. "So, I had Haley build a Morpher just in case."
"And the day of my gig?" Kira asked as Haley sat on the arm of the couch right next to her.
"I was coming to tell you guys the energy had moved, and we needed to investigate." Tommy finished explaining with a shrug.
Connor nodded in understanding. "When you were nabbed by the goon patrol. Brutal."
"Yeah, but it all turned out okay." Tommy then stood his feet. "Well I better get going."
Haley frowned. "Going? Where are you going?"
Tommy walked around the couch and placed his hands on the back of the couch, looking down at the others. "Shopping. I checked my closet this morning, and there is a severe shortage of black in there." Everyone began to laugh and shake their heads.
On Mesagoggs island, "So we have an agreement mesagogg, you get the boy but his morpher gets destroyed" said a green hologram.
"Very well, we have an agreement your agent destroys his morpher and I get a test subject. The destruction of any ranger is of benefit to both of us" said Mesagogg.
