CHAPTER 3 Closer to Restart

Elsa smiled evilly as she watched the computers complete her test. Zeltrax stood nearby, impatient.

"How much longer is this going to take?" he asked angrily. Elsa scowled.

"Quiet! It will be worth the wait!" she declared.

"That's what you've been saying for over a year now. Those rangers must pay now!" Zeltrax screamed, punching the wall of their new hideout.

"That's enough Zeltrax! If the rangers were stupid enough to overlook the fact that we were alive than they deserve what's coming to them!" Elsa yelled before turning back to the computers and smiling at what the monitors were showing. Meanwhile, over in Blue Bay Harbor, Blake was trying to get details from Shane.

"Okay, so Cam has no idea what exactly the monitors are showing, only that it shows some of the same signs as monster attack used to?" Blake asked as Tori watched from the couch, feeding Kai.

"That's exactly what he said. Dustin was worried that we would need our ranger powers for whatever it is," Shane said.

"Yea, but Cam said not to worry because he wasn't even sure if we would need it. Cam isn't good at hiding his concern so I'm still thinking we made need them," Dustin interjected.

"And how exactly are we supposed to get them back?" Blake asked. Tori frowned as she put Kai into his rocker. She picked up the portable phone and listened in on the conversation.

"How are we supposed to know that Blake? We didn't even know how to get them back for the fight with Mesagog and Bronchonaut. YOU discovered that remember?" Shane said.

"Yea, and Leila got the rest of ours back not to mention the Morphin powers," Dustin added.

"Okay Leila will be the first to admit that she's good but she's not a miracle worker. We can't count on her to pull that off again. HER powers were lost in the Bronchonaut fight too," Tori said.

"Hey mama-sita! How's it going?" Shane asked. Tori chuckled at her friend.

"It's going," she said.

"Hey, Leila's ranger powers were lost but not her ninja powers. We all still have ours and the dino rangers have all the powers they got when the gems bonded with their DNA," Dustin said.

"You're right, but Hunter would know more about this then I probably would. He's at the Thunder Academy more than me," Blake said, getting up to head over to guestroom. Meanwhile, Hunter and Leila were wrapped in each other's arms, caressing each other's lips with their own. The passion of the kisses increased, causing Hunter to let one hand roam Leila's body while the other held her close. Leila clutched his back possessively while Hunter's hand massaged and clutched her breast. They would have easily gotten into the same activities as they had the previous night if there hadn't been a rapping and banging at the door that scared the crap out of the them.

"Hey Lovebirds! Pick up the phone! It's Dustin and Shane!" they heard Blake scream. They rolled their eyes when they heard his laugh on the way back to the living room and Tori screaming at him. Hunter kept one arm over Leila and used the other to pick up the phone.

"Hello," he said.

"What were you doing?" Shane and Dustin asked at the exact same time. Hunter had to keep himself from laughing.

"Seriously, what's up?" Hunter asked.

"Cam picked up on something that has signs of a monster attack but isn't exactly the same thing," Shane explained.

"Uh....what?" Hunter asked, very confused. Leila shifted in and out of listening and sleeping on Hunter's chest.

"Whatever it is, we have concerns that we may need our powers again," Dustin explained.

"What powers? Does anybody remember Bronchonaut?" Hunter asked, a little annoyed and confused. Leila perked up a little when she heard all of us this.

"Um, does anybody remember the fact that we didn't have powers after fighting Lothor but we got them back for Bronchonaut and Mesagog? If it happened once, it can happen again, whether Leila finds a way again or somebody else does," Shane said.

"True as that may be, how do you explain restoring the dino ranger powers?" Hunter asked. There was silence before Leila grabbed the phone from them.

"Guys, we can only create so many theories. Call Tommy and Hayley and see what they can put together. Get in touch with Conner, Ethan, and Devin to see what they know or don't know. THEN, get back to us and we can put the information together. Until then, we really cannot do anything," Leila said.

"You're right. I'll call Tommy and Hayley...then put them on the phone with Cam so somebody will actually understand them," Shane said. Everybody laughed.

"I'll get in touch with Conner, Ethan, and Devin. Tori and Blake, take care of those babies. Hunter, Leila....get back to whatever you were doing," Dustin said, causing the others to laugh at the way he said it.

"We love you guys. We'll keep you up to date," Shane said. They all hung up. Tori and Blake sighed, looking at each other before turning back to their newborns. Spot went to the guestroom door and whined a little, scratching at the door. Grabbing a spare blanket and wrapping himself in it, Hunter unlocked the door and let the tiny beagle in. She tried to get up but Hunter picked her up and let her fly onto the bed. As he crawled back into the bed, Spot curled up next to Leila.

"Hey Spot, you're horning in on my territory," Hunter said playfully. Spot just sighed and started to wag her tail, causing to Leila to break down laughing.

"I think she's trying to tell us we've had enough for now," Leila said. Hunter looked from his fiancée to Spot. Spot lifted her head and licked Hunter, right across the mouth. He scrunched his face up in surprise. Leila laughed again.

"She loves you," she taunted. Hunter smirked devilishly at Leila.

"I'll show you love," he warned, smirking as he started to tickle Leila. Neither could stop laughing as they fooled around, careful not to roll on Spot.

Meanwhile, Cam slaved away in front of the computer, reading diagrams and figures. He finally sighed for a second then slammed his fists against the computer keyboard in frustration.

"This cannot be happening!! ANYTHING but this!!" he screamed. Sensei Watanabe was once again watching his son, this time with some preparation. He looked down as his hand where he held four gemstones. He sighed and looked up at a portrait of the rangers, the insignias framing the picture. He looked at the thunder insignias.

"Omano my friend, this is it," he whispered.

CHAPTER 3 is done. More mysteries. The rangers aren't dumb. They know they need their powers back but not exactly what for. What is Cam picking up on? Is it what Elsa and Zeltrax are putting together? HOW did the rangers overlook not killing those two? WHAT are the Sensei's up to? Find out next time when Sensei Omano reenters the scene along with the Dino Thunder rangers. Please R&R.
