Power Rangers Dino Thunder: Dream Ranger Part II
*** Underground ranger base; April 4, 2004 ***
Slowly opening my eyes, I yawned. I only forgot where I was for one short second. Then I figured out it wasn't a dream that I had. Tommy quickly approached me. "Have a nice rest?" he asked politely. I nodded. He seemed to have an odd expression on his face, as if he were making a hard choice. "So," he continued, "where should I start? I'm guessing I've got a few things to explain to you." I quickly shook my head. "I know about many things that happened bewteen now and last time. I even know a bit about the newer rangers. Connor plays soccer and Ethan is into computers."
Tommy sighed as he shook his head. "You never cease to amaze me," he said, "but I'm suprised you don't have anything to say about Kira." That was when I pulled out another one of my suprises by using my developed singing voice with a few lines from Kira's song Freak You Out. Then I suddenly heard a little applause as Kira walked into sight. "You've got a pretty good voice" she said. "I wouldn't be surprised if you got set up to perform at Hayley's Cyberspace sooner or later."
"Just wondering," I asked, "how long was I asleep?" "Since yesterday," Tommy answered. I was kinda surprised to hear it was already Sunday.
I began to sit up, looking around as if he expected to find something. "Tommy," I said, "I'm ready to make my comeback." His only response at the moment was becoming incredibly interested with his shoes. I instinctively spoke before he had the chance to answer. "I'm guessing there might not be any more dino gems left. It's not like they sell thousands of them at the local drug store or anything." I sighed.
Then I suddenly remembered that there hadn't been an evil White Ranger in the series yet. Part of me wanted so bad to change the future so that I would get those powers, but would they accept me? I had no idea. Maybe it was wrong of me to consider messing too much with fate.
"I owe you so much," Tommy spoke up. "There has to be some way to repay you."
I slowly began to walk towards the exit. "Don't worry too much about it," I told him. "I guess I'll just do what I can without my own ranger powers." I couldn't see it, but I knew Kira was looking strait at me as she spoke. "Doctor O said that back when he met you, you didn't need ranger powers just to be one."
I turned back to her "I hate to break it to you," I said, "but I'm not exactly the same child he first met. I know alot more about myself. I also know how weak I'd be in a battle without powers and weapons to protect myself with."
"Michael," Tommy begged, "please don't leave. Your skills could prove helpful in defeating our enemies."
That was when I let out a deep secret of mine that had been hidden for the longest time. "I might not have known certain things about myself back when I was a kid, but now I am able to recognize them for what they really are. You weren't exactly just a friend to me. I've been attracted to you ever since the first time we met. That is why I cannot stay here and watch you struggle as you try to repay me for a past deed."
As I left, I heard Kira say something to Tommy. "I kinda feel sorry for him. If only there were some way to help him out."
*** Woods/Middle of nowhere; April 4, 2004 ***
I thought I had seen the woods enough times on the show. I thought I knew how to get through it. I was absolutely wrong. I just kept wandering around in circles for what seemed like hours. That's when she showed up...
As I walked the umpteenth circle, I saw a woman fully dressed in leather. "Look who lost his way to grandmother's house," she said. I glared right at her, looking straight into her eyes. "I know exactly who you are Elsa, or should I call you Principal Randall?" She glared back.
"Never call me by that name," she hissed.
I knew I had hit a never then. she walked right up to me, her face inches from my own. "I can call you any name I want to," I said. She smirked. "Not where I'm taking you," she responded. I soon found myself being beaten up sevearly for a few moments before three Power Rangers showed up on their Raptor Cycles. It was so obvious what they were doing as Connor, the Red Ranger, sat me on his Raptor Cycle while the other two distracted Elsa. I have to say, I was a bit impressed by how fast they got me out of there.
As I rode with him, I wondered if I would always end up being the helpless civilian the Power Rangers had to protect from the evil monsters. If that was my future, I wanted no part in it. I wanted to be helpful to the others. Not always be in the way.
