Dreams of a Cat and a Wolf
Chapter 27: Graduation
Graduation day came fast. Jason and Trini had decided to come back to Angel Grove High and graduate with their class. Zack, however, accepted his diploma and headed for New York to study at Julliard.
"Welcome everyone to the commencement ceremony for Angel Grove High's graduating class of 1997..." Mr. Kaplan began. He continued with his speech and soon turned it over to Ms. Appleby who said a few words about the class.
"Now, I am turning the podium over to the most intelligent young person I have ever known and this year's valedictorian: Billy Cranston," she said.
"Fellow students, esteemed faculty, family and friends. We've spent a wonderful four years together. But now it's time for us to move on. We've shared many great times and learned many valuable lessons that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. Today, we move on to a new chapter in our lives, whether it be college or a job. But even through our times at Angel Grove High are past us, the times we had here will always hold a special place in each of our hearts," Billy concluded. Everyone applauded and Mr. Kaplan and Ms. Appleby began to read the names.
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
(...means more names)
"...Farkus Bulkmeier... Aisha Kiara Campbell... William Aaron Cranston... Rockford David DeSantos... Kimberly Ann Hart... Katherine Lynn Hillard... Trinity Sun Kwan... Thomas John Oliver... Adam Steven Park... Jason Lee Scott... Eugene Skullovich... Tanya Marie Sloan...
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
Ladies and gentlemen...the class of 1997!" Mr. Kaplan announced. The graduates cheered and tossed their caps into the air.
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
~*~*~*
"I want the rangers destroyed!" Divatox ranted to her crew.
"So do we, but they're still there, so stop screaming!" Zedd yelled back.
"Come now, there must be a way to get them. If only I could get into the power chamber. But Zordon has hidden it well this time," Ooze said.
"I must have Katherine if my evil reign is to survive," Vile mentioned.
"Stop whining about that meddlesome girl," Rita snapped.
"Goldar, Rito, take the Tengus and Piranhitrons and attack the park!" Zedd ordered.
"Go with them Elgar," Divatox ordered.
~*~*~*
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
La, la, la, la…
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la…
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
The rangers enjoyed the after party at Ernie's. But their fun was
interrupted by their communicators.
"What's up Dimitria?" Tommy answered.
"Goldar, Rito, and Elgar are attacking in the park," Dimitria said.
"Let's do it guys. It's Morphin Time!" Tommy called.
"Ninjetti! The Falcon!" Tommy called.
"Ninjetti! The Crane!" Kim called.
"Ninjetti! The Ape!" Rocky called.
"Ninjetti! The Bear!" Aisha called.
"Ninjetti! The Frog!" Adam called.
"Ninjetti! The Wolf!" Billy and Kat called. The rangers began fighting off the minions in the park, while Elgar, Rito, and Goldar decided to explore the desert in hopes of finding the power chamber.
~*~*~*
The rangers defeated the last of the Tengus and the Piranhitrons.
"Rangers, we have received a transmission from Eltar. Please teleport to the power chamber," Dimitria said.
"Eltar? Zordon must be contacting us," Adam said.
"Let's go," Billy said, as they teleported to the power chamber.
~*~*~*
"We're never going to find it out here in all this desert," Rito whined. Suddenly, seven streaks of colored light swept over their heads and headed for the top of a nearby mountain.
"Seven streaks of colored light?" Elgar said.
"Seven power rangers!" Rito exclaimed.
"Look, at the top of that mountain! There it is!" Goldar pointed. The power chamber's structure was now clear to them now that it had been pointed out. Before, they had easily overlooked the structure that blended in with the mountains.
"Rito and I will stay here. You report our finding to Lord Zedd and the others," Goldar stated. Elgar complied and disappeared.
~*~*~*
The rangers arrived in the power chamber and joined Jason, Trini Bulk, and Skull, who were already there.
"Rang...ers...Eltar...been...attacked. We..are...fighting, but...do not...come. Stay...and protect...Ear..th," the message said.
"We have to help them," Rocky said.
"But Zordon's right, we can't leave the earth undefended," Tommy replied.
"Fear not rangers, I am going to Eltar along with Trey. We shall aid Eltar in their fight," Dimitria said.
"Goodbye Dimitria," Aisha said.
"Take care," Kat said.
"Goodbye rangers. I know that we have discussed finding new rangers, but I believe it would not be wise to place rookie rangers in a serious situation like this. Dark Spector, the most evil being in the universe, is the one that has attacked Eltar. He is brother to Maligore and twice as powerful," Dimitria explained.
"Don't worry Dimitria, as long as the earth needs us, we'll be here," Billy said. The others nodded in agreement, as Dimitria was teleported into Pyrimidus.
~*~*~*
On the horizon, Zedd, Rita, Ivan Ooze, and Divatox stood with their henchmen. Behind them, there were thousands of minions: Tengus, Piranhitrons, and Ooze men.
"Attack the power chamber. Destroy everything, especially the power rangers!" Zedd screamed, as he launched the attack. The numerous foes began making their way up the mountainside, toward the power chamber.
~*~*~*
The alarm began to blare and the rangers turned to Alpha. He brought an image up on the viewing screen. An image that made the rangers' blood run cold.
Kat gasped and clung to Billy's arm.
"How did they find us?" Kim wondered.
"I thought Zordon said that it would be harder for them to find us this time," Rocky reminded.
"They can't get in, can they Billy?" Kat asked.
"There's so many of them. I don't know how long we can keep them out angel-girl," Billy replied, as he held her close.
"We've got to try and push them back," Tommy said.
"It's Morphin Time!" Tommy announced.
"Ninjetti! The Falcon!" Tommy called.
"Ninjetti! The Crane!" Kim called.
"Ninjetti! The Ape!" Rocky called.
"Ninjetti! The Bear!" Aisha called.
"Ninjetti! The Frog!" Adam called.
"Ninjetti! The Wolf!" Billy and Kat called.
The rangers bounded out of the power chamber, but were sorely outnumbered.
"Let's call the zords!" Rocky suggested.
"No way, that would be even worse. They would just grow too and crush the power chamber even easier," Billy protested.
"Billy's right, everyone back into the power chamber!" Tommy ordered. The rangers retreated back inside, as the minions began banging on the doors.
"We've got to find a way to keep them out," Trini said, as the rangers arrived back in the main chamber.
"Trini, if we could create an Electro Magnetic Pulse field, that would surely keep them out," Billy said.
"I'll help you," she replied. But it was too late.
The glass roof broke and minions invaded. Kat screamed, as Master Vile himself arrived in the power chamber. Billy stood defiantly in front of her, daring the villain to make a move.
"Step aside blue ranger," Vile demanded.
"Over my dead body," Billy spat back with venom laced in his voice.
"That can be arranged!" Vile replied, as he shot Billy with his magic. The powerful jolts lifted him into the air and threw him against a wall. Kat ran to him and helped him to his feet.
"Are you all right?" she asked tenderly.
"I'm fine," he assured her.
The minions who weren't attacking the rangers were now ripping apart consoles and panels and destroying things, including the plasma tube that Zordon and Dimitria once dwelled in. Elgar pranced around planting mini implosion devices that would ensure complete destruction. The devices beeped wildly and the villains disappeared, as the power chamber began to explode. The foes waited anxiously outside like vultures, for once the smoke and fire cleared, they would go after their ranger prey.
Suddenly, the strange face of a man appeared in the sky.
"Who the hell are you?" Divatox asked.
"I am a messenger. I have been sent to tell you to report to the Cyrian planet for a meeting," the messenger said.
"We are not going anywhere, for we are just moments away from capturing and killing the power rangers!" Divatox ranted.
"All right, but I'm sure Dark Spector will not be pleased to hear that you are not coming," the messenger replied.
"Did you say Dark Spector?!" Vile asked.
"Yes," he replied.
"Well, in that case, I guess a little vacation is in order," Divatox said humbly.
"Everyone back to the palace and into Serpentera!" Zedd called. The villains and their minions left earth.
At that moment, Billy pulled himself out of the rubble and helped Kat. The others started to uncover themselves as well.
"Is everyone okay?" Tommy asked. Everyone voiced affirmative and the rangers and non-rangers gathered together, along with a battered Alpha.
"They said they were going to Cyrius," Billy remembered.
"Now that they've left earth, we have to go help in the search for Zordon," Tommy said.
"So many people will be in danger with all those evil beings together," Kim said.
"But how do we get to where we want to go?" Rocky asked.
"We'll have to take the Ninja Megazord," Billy replied.
"We want to come as well. We might not be rangers, but this is our fight now too," Jason said. Trini, Tanya, Bulk and Skull nodded, confirming their desire to help.
"All right, everyone go home, pack some things, and clear everything with your parents," Billy said. The rangers and non-rangers complied, as they teleported to their respective homes.
