DISCLAIMER
Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. I only own Gragon, the Crangons, and Kirk.
The next day, Conner and Ethan walked up to each other.
"Hey, man," Conner greeted.
"Hey. How you doin'?" Ethan asked.
"Good. You?" Conner checked.
"Yeah, I'm cool," Ethan responded.
"Good. I mean, that sword blast---" Conner said softly. When Ethan had gotten hit, he had felt like he had failed. After all, the Dino Thunder was his team. He was supposed to keep them safe.
"Aw, we've had worse," Ethan dismissed.
"True," Conner agreed. They laughed. Then, Ethan grinned.
"What?" Conner queried.
"Check it out," Ethan stated. Conner turned around. His jaw dropped and then he laughed in surprise.
"Well, it's about time," he stated as Trent and Kira walked up to them, holding hands.
"Yeah, I was wonderin' when you two would hook up," Ethan stated.
"Well, what can we say?" Kira shrugged.
"It was bound to happen. It was just later rather than sooner," Trent continued.
"Come on. We don't wanna be late for Dr. O's class," Conner stated. The four walked into the class. Dr. Oliver watched as the students filed in. Conner and Ethan took seats behind Cassidy and Devin. Then, Kira and Trent walked in and sat down next to each other and got out their binders. Dr. Oliver chuckled to himself as Trent brushed a hand against Kira's. It's about time those two admitted their feelings to each other, he thought to himself. Then, he went on with the lecture. Suddenly, they all heard a six-tone beep. The science teacher and four students froze. What were they supposed to do? Then, the PA system crackled to life.
"Will Dr. Oliver, Kira Ford, Ethan James, Conner McKnight, and Trent Fernandez please come to my office?" Principal Hart was heard asking.
"OOOOH!" the class teased. The summoned Rangers stood up and headed out to the class.
"Devin, you're in charge," Dr. Oliver stated as he left.
"Uh---okay," Devin agreed. He stared at the class.
"Forget this, I'm outta here," a jock declared, standing up and heading for the door.
"Hey, wait for me," a cheerleader called, getting up and following him. One-by-one, their classmates did the same, with Devin unsuccessfully trying to stop them. Meanwhile, the Rangers had already morphed and were facing Goldar and Scorpina.
"Great. How am I supposed to be a principal when I get called to battle twenty-four-seven?" the Pink Ranger griped.
"Well, you could always quit," the Pink Ninja Ranger advised.
"And give Elsa a way back in? No way," the Pink Ranger retorted. Scorpina, Goldar, and some Putties charged. The Red Ranger soon found himself in battle with Goldar.
"Well, just like old times," the Red Ranger drawled, throwing a spinning kick. Goldar retaliated with his own kick and the Red Ranger pulled out his Power Sword.
"Time for a Gol---" he cut himself off. What? Where'd that come from? he wondered. "You're goin' down, Goldar!" he cried.
"Bring it on, Jason!" the winged monkey roared and renewed his attack. However, it was a short-lived battle which resulted in the Putties being destroyed and Goldar and Scorpina pulling their own disappearing act.
"OOOOH! I HATE THOSE POWER RANGERS!" Gragon roared.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Sorry this is such a lousy chapter. I'm just trying to get this fic up before I have to take a health science quiz. And no, Jason's Gold Ranger slip wasn't a mistake. It's actually the first of two subplots I have in mind.
