Overload Of Power
Disclaimer: This was inspired by Twitter chat on a thread of Pockysquirrel's. For now, this is just just a teaser of sorts until I'm able to free up my plate somewhat. Takes place 6 months before 'Dimensions In Danger'.
Summary: Over the years, Tommy Oliver has been exposed to several different forms of 'The Power' granted by the Morphin' Grid. But now, that amount of exposure endangers his very life.
2018, Reefside High
It had just been another day for the kids and teachers of Reefside High, especially so for Doctor Tommy Oliver. Though of course without the near constant worry of monster attacks and the like. Which had made for a relieved Kat considering their son and the real likelyhood of Tommy possibly dying back when he'd been with the Dino Thunder team. Now lately, Tommy had been feeling pained at random times and despite Kat's urging to go visit a doctor, he hadn't done it yet. Thinking it was nothing but old injuries from his Ranger days playing up and that it would go away at some point. Little did he know just how wrong he'd end up being much to the shocked horror of those in Detention. "Alright everybody, if you have homework or something to read while you're in here, have at it so you aren't all that bored."
"You could always let us be on our phones or whatever, Dr. Oliver." Tried a pink haired girl with a nose ring in a hopeful manner.
But he just chuckled as he shook his head. "Sorry, Amara, but not happenin'. Wouldn't be much point in this bein' a detention if you weren't being punished."
This got him a groan from not only her but a few others too as they dug out whatever they had in their bags as Tommy just chuckled again. Only to wince when he felt his left hand flare up in pain and groaned. "You okay, Dr. Oliver?" Asked another of the students in concern.
"Oh yeah, nothin' to worry about."
Unfortunately for him, the young man seemed doubtful as it wasn't the first time he'd seen the teacher looking like he was in pain recently. But he'd leave it alone for now and just focus on the novel he had in his bag. I swear, Ms. Martins has no sense of humor! Grumbled the teenager as it had only been a harmless prank!
Silence reigned through out the classroom as the students in detention busied themselves with homework or some kind of reading material while Tommy graded assignments and the like from that day. Which was proving somewhat hard for him to do as his left hand was continuing to hurt and the rest of him was beginning to hurt as well. "Umm… Dr. Oliver?" Came the hesitant voice of a student.
"Yeah, Marty?"
"You're… Your hand is glowing."
And he wasn't the only one to notice this as Tommy looked at what Marty was talking about and sure enough to his shock, it was glowing! Rather brightly too as his left hand glowed green, white, red, and black. Sometimes all at once and occasionally just one color. Chancing a look at his right hand, it was doing the same, only it appeared to also be covered in his various Ranger looks as well. "What th-AUGH!" Yelled out the Doctor and former Ranger as a great searing pain shot all through out his body at once.
Not even realizing his body was beginning to glow all over as he fell out of his chair and to the floor, letting out anguished screams of pain as the students in detention with him began to freak out. "Someone call a doctor or something!"
"I'll get Principal Randall!" Cried out Amara as she ran from the room.
Unable to block out the agonizing screams that seemed to never end…
Author's Notes: Hell of a teaser I would imagine there.
