Chapter 14
Reefside High
Things in Reefside had been unusually quite over the past two weeks, Mesogog had not attacked for whatever reason, but at the moment, that didn't seem to worry Tommy, Kim, Hayley, or the three teens who were currently all wrapped up in school, work, and college applications; everyone had something on their mind. Since moving in together, Kim and Tommy had been closer than ever while trying to keep their relationship a secret, so naturally it wasn't long before all the students knew. Tommy sighed as some of the students in his first period class repeatedly asked him about his private life. He would always reply with the same answer, " My private life my private, now if you would please take out your books and open to page…". "I'm gonna kill Kira and Trent for this" Conner and Ethan said at the same time as they entered the class late. Kira and Trent had won the bet they had made with Conner and Ethan almost two weeks ago. They had been fine with the idea of dressing up if they lost until Trent had suggested that the two do it at school and arrive to each class late so everyone would notice.
"…the fossil remains composed mainly of…." Tommy paused as Ethan and Conner arrived in his class. Ethan clad all in a pink fur bunny costume complete with ears, face paint and carrots, Conner dressed in a red mini skirt that was four sizes too small, black fish net tights, a tight fitting tank top, and heavy makeup highlighted by the fire engine red lipstick. Conner's hair was also styled in a semi-feminine way. "Nice of you to join us boys" Tommy said trying not to laugh. Conner and Ethan gave him dirty looks. The class broke into fits of laughter while Kira laughed so hard, she cried. "Don't ask Dr. O…" Ethan mouthed to his now grinning teacher. Taking their seats in the front of the class, it took Tommy fifteen minutes before the class was fully settled down. All the teachers that day had trouble getting their classes to settle down through the next four periods. Conner and Ethan had never been so grateful to be called into the principal's office in their life. She had cited them for interrupting class while giving them a long lecture.
Unfortunately, they weren't sent home as they had hoped, but were merely given detention with Tommy for two weeks. "Kira and Trent will pay for this…" Conner said to Ethan. Ethan agreed as the two set to plan their revenge. However as another monster attacked, all plans were forgotten.
Hayley's Cyberspace, later that day
"That was one of the toughest monsters we've fought Dr. O…" Kira trailed off. "Maybe it was because you were missing one of your team members." Kim chimed in as she entered the café . "Kim" Tommy said greeting her with a kiss. "Well, I promise we'll call you for the next one, you looked so busy grading those essays I thought you'd want to finish them…" Tommy trailed off. "I'm hurt Tommy that you wouldn't think I'd want to help…" Kim said trying to sound annoyed and offended. "I know what'll make you feel better" he said whispering into her ear before she giggled. "Guys, would you mind taking this elsewhere, there's kids here" Conner said. Conner and Ethan and long since changed closed, but still had the smallest hints of make up on their faces. Tommy and Kim shrugged as they left to the bar. Kira meanwhile went onstage to perform her usual number. "I've written a new song that I'd like to play for you all today it's called Move On".
Kira started singing the lyrics "…look in the mirror and see who staring back at me……oh I like it, I like it…" however no one but Conner, Ethan and Trent seemed to be paying attention. "…wanna be the one the only…..oh I like it, I like it….". When she had finished, she made her way down off the stage and plopped down next to Conner. "That was great Kira" Trent said. "Glad at least one person likes it" Kira said sarcastically. "You know, maybe people would like it better if you had music more like Kylee Styles" Conner said daydreaming, "dude, she is so hot". Kira rolled her eyes. "Kira, that was great, you never hear good music like that anymore, now a days it's that pop garbage with the teen superstar singer…" Tommy started. "Hey, what's wrong with music like Kylee Styles?" Conner asked.
"Nothing, Tommy just doesn't like it, her likes old school music like me…Kira, don't worry about what other people think, it's only what you think that matters" Kim said trying to be helpful. "Thanks Ms. Hart, Dr. O" Kira replied. "Tommy, we better get going", Tommy glanced at his watched and noticed it was getting late. "Trent, I've been looking for you…" said a vaguely familiar voice that made Tommy turn around. "It can't be…" Tommy thought to himself. "Anton, is that you?" Tommy asked. "Tommy, it's good to see you" Anton Mercer replied. "Dad, I'll be ready in five…Dr.O, do you know my dad?" Trent asked surprised. "Your dad ? Anton is your father?" Trent nodded. "Let me go tell Hayley I'm leaving, be right back". "I didn't know Trent was your son.." "I adopted him after he lost his parents many years ago…it's good to see you" he said. "Dad I'm ready" Trent said appearing three minutes later. "Bye Dr.O, see you tomorrow".
"That was strange…" Tommy said as Anton and Trent left. "Tommy?" Kim asked. "Wha….sorry Kim, I kina spaced out for a second..." reading the look on her face, Tommy added "…I'll explain when we get home". Kim nodded as they left. The three teens watched the scene unfold. "Anyways, what do you have against Kylee Styles?" Conner asked. "Nothing, believe it or not, before she became famous, we used to be friends and sing in the same group." Kira said. Conner and Ethan looked at each other and laughed. "I did you know…" Kira said frustrated with them. "You know Kylee is in town appearing to promote her new album, why don't go by and see her; prove you know her." Ethan suggested. "Fine, when and where?"
Reefside Mall
"I can't believe I'm here" Kira said to herself. "Come on Kira" said Conner anxiously moving her along the line. "Who do I make this out to?" Kylee Styles asked not even looking up to see who was next in line. "How about to my old friend Kira Ford…" "Kira, oh my gosh, it's been like forever, since I like, last saw you" Kylee said giving her two air kisses and a fake hug. "It's been a long time Kylee" Kira said. "We should like totally catch up…do you like, know any good like places we could like you know…hang?" Kylees asked. "Um, there's this place downtown.." Kira was cut off as the eager fans behind Kira started complaining about the hold up. Kira moved for the next fan as Kylee started ignoring her to sign. "Hayley's Cyberspace Café" Kira tried to say. "Not even sure if she heard her, Kira went off to the side to wait for Conner, who had disappeared. "Dude, you were actually telling the truth, I can't believe you know Kylee Styles!" Conner said as he came up next to Kira with a lipstick lips mark on his face, and signature on his
shirt.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Kira and Conner ran to find a secluded place. "Dr. O, what's up?' Conner asked. "Mesogog had released another monster that steal's people's youth, be on the look out, I'll keep you informed." Kira and Conner talked for a minute before decided to go and split up.
Outside Hayley' s Cyberspace
"Devin, hurry up…" Cassidy yelled as she checked her hair in the mirror and walked faster. Devin who was carrying heavy load of bags from Cassidy's recent shopping trip to the mall. "Hey you two, can you say your youth is mine!" Cassidy turned around. "Devin what are you babbling on about ….AWWWWWWW!" s monster that had what appeared to be three heads extended its arms and flashed a strange beam at Devin and Cassidy. As quickly as it had come, it disappeared. Cassidy screamed again when she picked up her compact and saw her reflection in the mirror. "I'm old!" she exclaimed.
Reefside Mall Parking Lot
"Hey you" the monster shouted. "If you want an autograph, you'll have to like ask my publicist." Kylee Styles said. "I don't want your autograph you human, but you do have something I could use…" the light flashed again taking Kylee's youth this time. Kylee screamed just as Cassidy had done. When she tried to talk to her agent, he looked at her and told her to go back to the rest home she had come from. "Well! When I like get my youth back, he is like so fired!" Kylee thought to herself. "What can I do now? Where can I go?" she asked herself.
Hayley's Cyberspace
"Hayley, since when do you have so many senior citizens here?" Kira asked. "Wait, the monster!" Hayley looked slightly bemused as she nodded. "There's a girl here who had been asking for you, say's her name's Kyles…I have a feeling though that that name is an alias…" she finished with a wink picking up a plate full of empty cups. "Going to the back of the café where there were many teens turned seniors, Kira found an aged Kylee. Kylee…es" Kira said quickly correcting herself. "Is that you?". "Kira" Kylee said sobbing.
Tommy's Lab
"Tommy, I've got a lock on the monster" Kim said sitting in the command center sending an alert to Tommy. "Great, tell the others to meet me there. And Kim, I know I promised, but…" "Tommy, no ifs, ands, or buts, a promise is a promise…I'll see you there" Kim replied cutting him off. "…just be careful beautiful" he whispered. Kim took a deep breath, it had been quite a while since she had last morpher, okay, more than a while, try ten years. "You can do this Kim, it's just like riding a bike." Kim tapped her bracelet as it transformed into her morpher. "DINO THUNDER, POWER UP!" Kim yelled. Kim instantly felt the power of the morphing grid running through her body just like old times. Her morphing sequence was similar to that of the teens, but instead of a simple layout stepout, Kim did a flashy front layout with a full twist to one knee. When she was transformed, Kim took a moment to look at her new uniform.
Kim's uniform was similar to Kira's with a skirt, but was pink and instead of white triangles had gold like Tommy's. Her helmet was similar to her original ranger uniform, but had a few noticeable differences. Even her weapon was her old school style power bow. "Awesome" she said jumping through the invisiportal to join Tommy and the guys. Kira had stayed behind at the moment to help calm down Kylee. "Pink Ranger?" Conner and Ethan asked giving a double take. They hadn't been told about Kim joining the team yet. "Looks like you guys could use a hand" she said grinning behind her smoky colored visor. Taking a fighting stance, Ethan and Conner quickly morphed, joining Kim followed by the black ranger who appeared second later. "Nice of you to join us Kim" Tommy said. "Ms. Hart is that you?" Conner asked. "Yes, Conner it is, but more about that later, we have a monster to take care of."
BOOM! Zeltrax had appeared through another invisiportal. "Black ranger, you're mine!" he yelled attacking Tommy. "Go" Tommy said to the others as they started firing their weapons at the monster. "Stop, that tickles…" the monster said sending his own attack back at Kim, Ethan and Conner. "Power bow' Kim yelled as she fired her piercing arrows at the monster while fighting it hand to hand. "Nice moves" Ethan said to Kim, as she did flips and twists and small kick movements like she was working on beam or floor. Conner grinned "watch how it's done" he told Kim. Conner showed off his super speed while Ethan tried to do some damage with his Tricera armor. Not working very effectively, just in time, a screeching sound could be heard as the two teens and teacher covered their ears.
"Kira, what took you so long?" Not waiting for an answer, as Kira's Petra scream had temporarily stunned the monster, Conner, Ethan, Kira, and Kim combined their weapons to form the new and improved super Z-Rex blaster. "Nice job guys" Kim said amused as the yellow ranger did hr version of a double take. "Yes Kira it's me and I promise I'll explain when we get back to the lab, let's g….." Kim stopped short. "Spoke to soon, I should've known better" she said shaking her head.
Mesogog's rain enlarged the former monster to giant size. Calling for their zords, Kim watched as they came out of the Brachio zord and formed the Thundersaurus Megazord. The three teens fought as Kim watched on. The monster seemed to have the upper hand sucking the life out of the Megazord! Hearing a screech, Kim turned and saw a zord similar to her old pterodactyl zord appear in the sky. The zord was larger and looked to be an ancestor to the pterodactyl. An instinct told her to push her gem in the morpher as the zord became tamed, turned pink, and landed on a nearby building for Kim. "Kim, meet the Archaeopteryx zord, or Pteryx for short. She is the ancestor to flying Petra family as you may have guessed. Go test it!" Hayley's voice said from her communicator. "Thanks Hayley" Kim said She jumped up into the zord's cockpit and began to attack the monster to help free the Thundersaurus Megazord. Playing with a few attacks, Kim distracted the monster. "Time to combine" she shouted as the Pteryx zord folded to become the Megazord's new wings.
"Nice of you to drop in Ms. Hart" Kira said as they finished the monster off. "You haven't seen the last of me Dr. Oliver" Zeltrax said as he retreated. Looking to see how the others had done, Tommy was impressed with the newest zord. "Let's go home" he said through his communicator.
Movie Theater
The moment the monster fell, all the youth he had stolen was returned. "Two senior citizen dismounts please, and don't tell us we look to young, as you can see we've sixty-five and…" "Cass..." Devin called to Cassidy. "Not now Devin…" "But Cass, we're young again.." Cassidy looked down and was ecstatic to have her old self back. "Hey I'm not all old an wrinkly anymore…". The seniors in the line behind her started to get angry as they used her walkers, canes, and motorized wheelchairs to chance Cassidy and Devin. "Hey, I didn't mean it…."
Hayley' s Cyberspace
"Kira, I'm like so totally sorry for everything, I've been like a total gerk to you. How can I like make this up to you?" Kira smiled. "How about a little known song we wrote together called Friendship…" Kylee smiled. "I'm totally there". The two took the stage together and started singing as Kira started playing her guitar. "Sometimes it's up sometimes it's down, it's always going around….but no matter who you are, it's friendship that will go far…its not always easy, but through trust……friendship…..friendship…." the words trialed off as they sang happily and Tommy and Kim snuck out of the café holding hands. "That's what I call music" Conner said. Ethan just looked at him. "What?" Conner said. Tommy and Kim enjoyed the song as they exited. "You were great today beautiful" Tommy said. Kim put her head on Tommy's shoulder walking to his car. "Thanks, you weren't so bad yourself handsome, but I'll tell you one thing, I'm going to need a hot shower and some ice tonight..." Kim said. "Care to make that a joint shower?" Tommy grinned. "Anything you want Dr, Oliver…" The two got into Tommy's jeep and drove off into the sunset.
