"Okay what just happened?" Kira's voice said.
"Nevermind that, where are we?" Ethan's voice said back.
At first they couldn't see anything or anyone. Then slowly they began to be able to see one another, as though someone had raised the dimmer on a light switch. They were all standing in the same positions they had been in, except they weren't in the lab anymore. Slowly their surroundings became more apparent. They were standing now on a ledge of a mountain. They couldn't really tell where they were on the mountain, as the top of the mountain was shrouded in cloud as well as the bottom of it. They could be thousands of feet up for all they knew. Nothing stood out of ordinary on this ledge, except for a pedestal in the middle of it with the meteor rock atop of it, the three dino gems still in it.
"We're seeing the past," Tommy said suddenly as he had an epiphany, "The gem is projecting this."
Before anyone could say anything, another presence was felt. They looked up to see a figure descend very rough-cut stairs carved into the side of the mountain. It was a woman, all in white. Her dress was cut in a classical style, with the empress waist just underneath her breasts, and the material floating about her as she descended. Her face was framed by her classical ringlet hair and as the 5 time travellers looked closer they soon recognized her. It was Sam.
Sam stared at herself. Was this a relative of hers? A past life perhaps? It was like looking in a mirror. She felt chills run down her spine as she watched herself descend the stairs and then go to the meteor.
Three other figures appeared then, their backs to the time travelling group. One dressed in a dirt red gladiatorial uniform, another in blue senatorial robes and another in a yellow dress similar to Classical Sam's, but this figure was holding a lyre.
Classical Sam all of a sudden spoke, "I am the guardian of the Stone of Power. Each of you are connected to this stone. You have each shown your strengths in your respected areas of life. Together the three of you and all your descendents will keep the world safe, from those who wish it harm."
The woman in yellow with the lyre stepped forward and said, "For me and my descendents, I give you my music." The 5 time travellers could now see the woman's face and it was Kira's.
Classical Kira put her hand over the yellow stone in the meteor. It glowed as it first had glowed for Kira and a yellow bolt of energy sprung up and moved through her body. With that Classical Kira turned and walked toward Kira of now and walked through her like a ghost would walk through a wall.
"Okay that was weird..." Kira said.
Suddenly another figure entered, wearing grey robes, it was Tommy...Classical Tommy that is. He stood outside of the circle watching on. Tommy of now moved over to him, amazed he was seeing himself. He circled his classical self and finally said, "This is amazing."
Next the man in the blue senatorial robes moved forward and placed his hand over the gem, "For me and my descendents, I give you my intelligence." It was Ethan...Classical Ethan. Similar to what happened to Classical Kira, a blue bolt of energy surged up from the meteor and moved through Classical Ethan's body. Then just as before and as if they knew where their now selves were, Classical Ethan walked through now Ethan.
"Existential!" Ethan said as he watched his classical self go over to Classical Tommy and the both of them, after Classical Tommy moved through now Tommy, walked away following Classical Kira.
"I never heard of this in history class..." Kira said.
"Shhh-" Tommy hushed her as he came back over to the group watching the remaining two.
The gladiator moved to Classical Sam and the Stone of Power. He put his hand over the red gem and said, "For me and my descendents, I give you my athletic strength." The red bolt surged up and moved through him, but instead of moving away, the gladiator moved to Classical Sam and spoke to her, "And to you I give you my heart."
There were small gasps from the time travellers as the gladiator was revealed to be Connor...Classical Connor. Sam of now's cheeks reddened with embarrassment. Connor of now had his mouth open in awe.
But none of them could be prepared for what happened next, as Classical Connor leaned in and kissed Classical Sam.
Sam of now glanced to Connor of now, who was at the same time side- glancing her. She quickly looked away and in the process, the hand that held the gem turned and the gem fell.
The time travellers were engulfed by a white light again and were transported back to Dr. Oliver's lab. It took them all a few moments to adjust back in their surroundings, however everyone was silent, not knowing what to say.
Sam bent down and picked up the fallen gem and turned to her uncle. She was still embarrassed at what they saw at the end there and couldn't look her uncle in the eyes.
"Well now we really know that you three were destined for your roles as Rangers. And I'm...I'm some sort of guardian..." Sam said putting the gem into Tommy's hand.
Tommy sighed, "And if we know that, I have a creeping suspicion that Mesagog knows about it too..."
"Nevermind that, where are we?" Ethan's voice said back.
