Chapter Seven : When Late Introductions Take Place

Trini awoke in a most unusual and unfamiliar setting. She gently rubbed her eyes in order to see more clearly. When her blurry vision cleared, she found herself trapped in a room with a large and seemingly unbreakable glass window that filled up one whole side of a wall. Outside the glass prison, a room full of alien-like technology could be seen. Trini had never witnessed such strange technology before and could only stare at it with curiosity. She noticed that the dark man was nowhere to be found and thought it be the best time to find a way out. She looked around and saw she wasn't alone. In a different corner of the room Kimberly lie on the floor, still not recovered from the earlier attack. Two other girls were also in the room although Trini had no idea who they were, only that they were also power rangers.

Trini approached Kimberly's sleeping form, wanting to inform her of the current situation. "Kimberly!" Trini shook Kimberly's shoulders violently. They were surprisingly stiff. For a moment, Trini feared for the worse, but was relieved when she heard the sound of Kim's breathing. "Kimberly! Wake up!" Trini continued to shake her friends shoulders.

After nearly a few minutes of trying to shake the sleeping beauty awake, Trini stopped when she saw Kim's eyes slowly open. Kimberly jumped up in surprise, a look of fear in her expression.

"Kimberly it's just me," Trini said, trying to calm Kimberly down. She looked worried and concerned. "Calm down. It's me Trini? Do you remember where you are? Do you remember what happened? Do you remember me?"

Kimberly felt a little foolish for getting frightened so easily, even if she was just a little bit frightened. She knew she was better than that. After all she was a power ranger and it was just her best friend Trini. "Yea Trini. Sorry about that." she placed a hand on her head trying to remember what happened when she was last awake. "What's going on? Where are we?" Her eyes wandered throughout the unfamiliar setting and finally towards the two others with them in the room. "Who are they?"

"I can't even answer a single one of your questions," Trini answered honestly. She took a deep breath and then looked out the room with the beeping machines. "We have to find a way out of here."

"But how?" came a strange new voice. In the corner the two girls who were previously unconscious slowly got up. The one with light hair and yellow hair gently rubbed her aching head. The girl with dark hair much like Trini's and a bright, pink jacket did the same. "It looks like there's no way out of here without breaking the glass barrier," the girl in yellow pointed out.

"We're gonna think of something," Trini assured her.

"Let's get this straight first," Kimberly spoke. She placed her right hand on her hip and stared intently at the two girls standing in a different corner of the room. "You girls are power rangers too?"

"Yes," the light haired girl answered. "We're the space rangers, formerly turbo rangers." She put out a hand to customarily greet the two young women. Trini and Kimberly shook her hand and smiled at her.

"I'm Cassidy. Cassie for short," the oriental girl introduced herself. She mimicked Ashley's handshaking gesture. Trini and Kimberly also did the same.

"We were the original power rangers," Trini began to explain. "We are two of the first five that were called forth by Zordon to protect the earth from any threats that may arise," She placed a hand on her chest to indicate she was about to talk about herself. "I'm Trini." Then she pointed a finger towards Kimberly. "This is Kimberly."

"I thought the power coins were destroyed," Cassie wondered, looking a bit confused. She had learned that information from Justin who had learned a little of the earlier generation's history from Alpha 5. "And didn't you transfer your powers to others?"

"No the original dino power coins were not destroyed," Kimberly answered Cassie's question. "It was only the ninja power coins that were destroyed."

"While the ninja coins were lost and forgotten, the older coins slowly regenerated and regained most of their lost powers," Trini continued Kimberly's explanation. The two girls listened intently at the story she was telling. "Mysteriously, our morphers appeared to us, and imparted to us ability to morph into power rangers once again. We have no explanation for this."

"Wow!" Cassie exclaimed. The original power rangers stood before her and she just realized how legendary these two were. She stared at them transiently, trying to absorb the revelation. Then she remembered something. "The enemy stole our morphers," she pointed out and cast her eyes upon the floor. "We don't have much of chance of getting out without the help of our powers."

"We're gonna get out of this one," Ashley encouraged her doubtful friend. She was confident in their abilities to get out of tough situations like this one. Especially now that two generations of pink and yellow rangers were working together. But there was a slight feeling of uneasiness growing within her; A feeling that maybe the power rangers may have finally met their match. She pushed the thought aside. The belief that there was no power strong enough to defeat the courage and the dedication the power rangers was stronger than the strange feeling of uneasiness. "The others will surely come after us."

"I hope you're right Ashley," Cassie looked a bit worried. The feeling of uneasiness disturbed her too though she didn't really think much about it. "I really do."

Suddenly a small hole slid open above them. A sinister laugh could be heard in the background and five bodies dropped from above. One by one they dropped from the tiny opening. Three of the faces were unknown to the four women trapped below, but three were old friends of theirs.

"Jason! Kat! Justin!" Trini yelled in surprise. She ran to their bodies and noticed that they were both bruised and beaten. The bodies were piled on top of each other and Trini made an effort to separate them. Kimberly aided her while Cassie and Ashley stood there, watching Trini and Kimberly help the enemy's new victim. Trini checked to see if they were still alive and was glad to learn that they still were. She sat by their still bodies, giving them a chance to rest and awaiting the moment they would wake. She had not seen them in so long and had so much to say to them. But now she was deeply concerned about their fate. This strange new enemy had managed to capture five more rangers, making that a total of nine. If five rangers weren't enough to stop this man how many rangers would it take?
