CHAPTER 28 The Plan Revealed
None of the storm or dino rangers were in as much shock as Tommy was. He would not have been as shocked to see all of his old friends if they had not been clad in the suits that he had long since thought had been lost. Jason, Zack, Aisha, Billy and Kimberly jumped down off the building in formation. Katherine, Rocky, and Adam all surrounded Bronchonaut.
"Zeo Lasers!!" Katherine, Rocky, and Adam cried, firing at Bronchonaut at once.
"Power Axe!" Zack cried. "Power Bow!" Kimberly screamed. "Power Daggers!" Aisha cried. "Power Lance!" Billy cried. "Power Sword!" Jason cried. They put their weapons together and fired at once. The powers were not as great as the storm or dino powers but they were enough to stun Bronchonaut. The Morphin rangers did not move. They left themselves standing to give Leila a boost into the air. Leila came running behind them, jumped onto Jason and Zack's shoulder and went flying through the air towards Bronchonaut.
"THUNDERSAURUS STAFF!!" she cried. The weapon appeared in her hand and she gave one good slash across Bronchonaut's chest. The attacks only injured him because he was stunned by the arrival of the veteran rangers, but it was enough for the time being.
"This isn't over, Thundersaurus ranger," he growled at Leila before disappearing. Leila turned around.
"Ninja form," she said. Her ranger suit broke up and she was left in her Thunder Ninja uniform. The other storm ninjas followed suit.
"Ninja form!" they cried, leaving them in their ninja suits. The dino thunder rangers, mighty morphin, and zeo rangers all did the same demorphing process.
"POWER DOWN!" they cried. Tommy was in complete shock. All of his friends looked exactly the same, only obviously about ten years older.
"What...?" he asked, completely in shock. The other rangers laughed at their comrade.
"Tommy, man, you look good in black," Zack said, shaking his hand.
"What? Did you get tired of every other color and had to pick between blue and black?" Adam asked. Tommy eventually calmed down and realized that these were people he had not seen in a while. He started to hug each and every one of them.
"It is so good to see you guys," he said happily. The Storm and Dino Thunder Rangers stood back and let their teacher have his moment. The way he was smiling reminded them of seeing a little kid in the toy store. Tommy eventually got to Katherine and Kimberly. After passing on the Turbo powers, he and Kat had dated for about a year before mutually deciding to separate and remain friends. During the time after, Katherine had developed a better friendship with Kimberly and realized there were still feelings between them. Kimberly and Tommy had settled any unresolved issues and had reconciled their friendship. Anything else was still left up in the air.
"Great to see you again Tommy," Katherine said, hugging him. Tommy turned to Kimberly.
"Hey there handsome," she said, hugging him as well.
"So Tommy, we've got a few questions for you man," Rocky said.
"Yeah, like what's with this Doctor title?" Jason asked.
"And, um, those guys," Adam said, pointing to the Dino Thunder and Storm rangers. The teen rangers all smiled and waved at their predecessors. Tommy chuckled.
"I think we should all go back to my house. I can answer all of your questions and Leila can explain everything else," Tommy said. In less then thirty minutes, the Storm Rangers and Dino Thunder Rangers and the veterans were all settled into Tommy's house. Introductions had been exchanged the new arrivals and Hayley. Once drinks were passed around, Tommy allowed the few questions his friends had for him to be asked.
"When did you get a doctorate?" Bill asked. Tommy laughed, knowing Billy was the most surprised out of all of them.
"I guess I had a lingering interest in dinosaurs for reasons you guys know better than anyone else. After I decided racing wasn't for me, I decided to look for other paths. I found dinosaurs again and it took off from there," Tommy explained.
"And the new morphers?" Aisha asked. Tommy pointed to Hayley.
"I'm smart but not that smart," Tommy said before taking a sip of his soda.
"Thanks for the recognition," Hayley replied sarcastically.
"So Leila, are you going to tell us the story or what?" Tommy asked. Leila cleared her throat.
"Well, where I should I start?" she asked.
"He might want to know how you gave us our powers back," Jason said.
"Oh yeah. Well, I energized the power coins with a mix of my power and an energy source that my dad had from a meteor. You know as well as anyone, Dr. O, that the Zeo powers were really lost. They just kind of got put aside when you got the Turbo upgrade," Leila explained.
"Yea, but why didn't you get Tanya or Justin from Turbo?" Dustin asked.
"Because my plan only involves rangers who held a power coin at some point. Unfortunately both yellow rangers aren't here, but Tanya did take on a power ranger duties until the Zeo stages. Justin obviously didn't come into the picture until long after the morphin powers were supposedly lost," Leila explained. All of the rangers were either silent, or a little sad. They all knew that Trini, the original yellow ranger, had passed away some years ago.
"Well, what's your plan?" Hunter asked. Leila took a deep breath and got up from her seat. She paced around the room, then faced her comrades.
"My plan is to fuse the dino powers of the morphin power coins with the dino powers of the current rangers and energize them with the storm powers," Leila explained, going into silence mode for responses. Hayley did not let silence come before she jumped up from her seat and turned to Tommy.
"That could work, Tommy!" she said.
"How?" Shane asked.
"With the extra boost from EVERY ranger who held the power coin, PLUS the extra power from the current rangers, that SHOULD match Bronchonaut's current powers. But the energy from the storm powers could give us the extra edge," Leila explained.
"And if it doesn't?" Tori asked. Leila sighed.
"Then I don't know where we'll be because there's a GOOD chance that this might drain all of our powers," Leila said.
"That's a big risk Leila, especially against something like Bronchonaut," Blake said.
"I know guys but this will give a shot. And you guys wouldn't have come if you didn't think it could help, right?" Leila asked of the veterans. They all looked at each other and back to Tommy, indicating that Leila was right. Tommy sighed, looking from his old teammates to his current ones. He then locked eyes with Leila, seeing the determination in her eyes. He had to admit that her plan seemed logical.
"Why not?" he said. Leila's face fell, a little shocked.
"Come again?" she asked. Tommy smiled up at her.
"I say we go for it. What about all of you?" Tommy said. All of the veteran rangers were in. The storm rangers hesitated a little, having already lost their powers, but they came around.
"We're in," Shane said, speaking for all of them.
"Us too," Conner said, speaking for his team. Leila smiled. There was finally some REAL hope.
Will the plan work? How will the addition of another team effect the relationships? Find out in Chapter 29 and 30. Please R&R.
