BLAST FROM THE PAST

AUTHOR'S NOTE

This is the third chapter. I know, you're thinking 'Duh'. I only mention this because I had previously put the chapters here. However, I'm not going to do it that anymore. And yeah, I said I was too lazy for this, but...nothing belongs to me yet. Still owned by Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney.

Meanwhile, in Reefside, Hailey Johnson was manning the computers when a fanfare came out of the speakers.

"What in the world?" she asked. She had never heard anything like this before. The woman recorded the sound onto a tape, then the music off. "Tommy, I think you better get over right away," she said.

"What's up?" Dr. Thomas "Tommy" Oliver, the Black Dino Ranger, asked.

"You're going to have to hear this for yourself," Hailey replied. Tommy, who was in his classroom grading papers, frowned. Something was wrong. He could tell from her voice.

"Hey, Dr. O, what's going on?" a voice asked, startling the man.

"It's a good thing you're here," Tommy told them.

"Why? What's happening?" sixteen-year old Kira Ford, the Yellow Dino Ranger wondered.

"Hailey wants us back at the lab. She didn't say why," Tommy replied.

"You think it's Mesogog?" sixteen-year old Ethan James, the Blue Dino Ranger questioned.

"Probably," Tommy answered.

"Shoot. There goes my soccer game," sixteen-year old Conner McKnight, the Red Dino Ranger stated.

"Sorry, Conner. It can't be helped," Tommy apologized.

"No worries. I mean, hey, if we didn't do this, we probably wouldn't have a soccer field to play on," Conner shrugged.

"Too true," agreed sixteen-year old Trent Fernandez, the White Dino Ranger. They walked to the parking lot where Tommy had parked his black jeep. They got in and buckled up. Tommy started the engine, then drove off. Moments later, they arrived at the science teacher's house. The group went in and walked down to his basement.

"Okay, Hailey. What's going on?" Tommy asked.

"I was manning the computers when all of a sudden, this strange music came blaring through the stereos," Hailey told them. As one, the group looked to Conner.

"Hey, I had nothing to do with it," the Red Ranger objected.

"I made a tape," Hailey stated. "Wait until you hear this. It's pretty strange," she continued. She pressed the play button and immediately the fanfare started. Everyone watched as the man gave a jerk of surprise.

"Hailey, where did this come from?" Tommy demanded.

"Uh, um---" Hailey stammered.

"It had to leave a signal. Track it," Tommy instructed. Hailey turned to the computer and began working the consoles.

"Dr. O?" Kira queried. Tommy held up a hand, silencing them.

"Got it," Hailey finally said.

"Where did it come from?" Trent asked.

"Florida," Hailey replied. The Black Dino Ranger felt like a Tyrannadrone had just punched him in the gut. Florida? That meant...

"Kimberly," Tommy whispered.
