Chapter 21

Reefside High

"Trent are you okay?" Kira asked her boyfriend during passing period. "I'm fine, it's just been a long, hectic week…" "Tell me about it, between Ms. Hart's essays and Dr. O's research paper I…" "Do you mind if we talk later, I'm not feeling so well…" "Um, okay, do you want me to walk you down to the office?" Kira asked closing her locker. "No, I have to go to calculus and take a test first, I think I'm going to go home after that…" "Alright, call me". Kira and Trent hugged before parting ways and making their way to their separate classes. "What am I going to do?" Trent asked himself eying the silver bracelet and white gem on his wrist. "Why me?"

Flashback

"Face it rangers, you can't defeat me!" the white ranger gave off a long and deep laugh. He had just blasted and defeated the rangers again and had gotten what he had come for, the Drago zord and the Stego zord. "That fool of a leader thinks he is so great, we'll see if he can beat me now!" the white ranger jumped into the newly formed megazord and disappeared. "We'll at least he hasn't joined Mesogog…" "…yet" Ethan added to Conner's statement. "Let's hope he doesn't…" "Kim's right, come on guys let's get back to the lab"

End Flashback

Mesogog's Lair

"Master we are making little progress in luring the white ranger into battle. He is constantly getting in our way, but he has been an asset in weakening those puny power punks…" "Zeltrax, find a way to get him o our side, he could prove to be very useful in the future. Elsa, come, I have plans for you…" "Yes Master!"

Tommy's Lab

"There's been another disturbance in the warehouse section of the city, do you want me to call the others?" Hayley asked talking to Tommy. "No, they have enough to do as it is, and Kim hasn't been feeling too well lately, let me take care it…DINO THUNDER, POWER UP!" Tommy morphed and left heading through the invisiportal to downtown Reefside. "Aww…" Trent yelped in pain trying to control the surging power of the evil white dino gem. "Trent?" Tommy asked confused. "Wow, the black ranger knows my name!" he gasped in between breaths. Tommy mentally kicked himself for using Trent' s name. Clearly seeing that Trent was in pain right now though, he shock his mind free of thoughs. "Let me help you…" "Black ranger, get away before…" Trent was about to finish as his body gave a violent shudder and the white ranger appeared in his place. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" "You! I don't believe this!" "We meet again the great Dr. Tommy Oliver, don't act as if I don't know who you are, I am not a fool like my civilian counterpart…" "Trent, you have to fight this, believe me, you can beat the evil!" "Enough talk, you are wasting your time…"

The white ranger drew his feather shaped sword and started to fight with Tommy. The white and black rangers, were pretty evenly matched. Tommy for a moment seemed as if he would have the upper hand, but the white ranger struck and sent a wave of power towards the black ranger that e could just not block. Tommy was frozen in an amber like substance. "TOMMY!" Kim screamed arrived morphed on the scene. "You are too late pink ranger…" the white ranger laughed and disappeared. "Power down!" Trying to stay calm, Kim took a deep breath. "Stay calm, and think Kim…" the first thought that came to her mind was Hayley. "Hayley, are you still there?" Kim asked starting to get slightly panicky. "Kim, what's wrong?" "Um, we have a slight problem with Tommy!"

Later that evening

Conner, Ethan, and Kira sat nervous in the lab. "Hayley, anything yet?" Ethan asked hopeful the rocket scientist had found something. "I told you, as soon as I know something, I will let you know!" Hayley had become punchy after sitting at the computer for hours upon hours and finding no answer to the problem they faced. "Ethan, leave her alone, she's doing the best she can, why don't you go check on Miss Hart, she was feeling sick again last time I checked…" "Dude, she has been sick for a couple of days now maybe she should go see a doctor" "Thanks, but no thanks, I don't need a doctor, I know perfectly well what is wrong with me…" "Miss Hart…" "Okay, now that I'm here, there are a few things that need to be done, first off, Hayley, take a break and drink this…you three, go find something to do, sitting here isn't going to make Tommy get better any faster and I've been meaning to tell you three to stop calling me Miss Hart, it makes me feel so old, call me Kim…" "But Miss Ha…Kim we…" "No ifs, ands or buts, take a break and calm down…"

"Kim, here, sit, you shouldn't be overexerting yourself right now…" "Thanks Hayley, but right now I'm okay…" she nodded silently in reply. Kira, Conner, and Ethan sensed that Kim was hiding something from them, but didn't feel it was in their best interests to pry at the moment. "Conner, didn't you have somewhere to be at 5:00?" Kira said glancing at the time. Conner's cheeks flushed as he noticed it was quarter to five. "Oh man, I'm going to be late for a very important date…" "Better hurry man" Ethan joked. Conner grabbed his bag, said good bye to the others and rushed out the door at lightening speed. "I have to get going and work on my music for tomorrow" "I have a certain English paper to do…" Ethan mumbled. "We'll let you know if anything changes" Kim said. "I have to go and check up on the Cyberspace, but I promise I'll be back as soon as I can Kim…" Hayley promised to her friend. "Go" she urged. Kim drinking some nice old juice took up a chair beside her amber fiancée and just started thinking.

Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it's all right
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly
When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

"Hi, my name is Kim" "Tommy" "You're new here aren't you…by the way, thanks for saving me back there"

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
You'll learn to begin
To trust the voice within

"I love fairy tales. I've always wanted to be a princess, and get rescued by a handsome prince on a white horse." "Well…how about a white tiger?" "That would work"

Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
Soon you're gonna see your brighter day
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When your lost outside look inside to your soul

"This has been a dream my whole, entire life. But when I became a Power Ranger, I made some promises. One of them was to stand by you guys." "Kim, you also promised to be true to yourself." "...I really want to go."
Tommy: "I don't want to lose you, Kim. But I can't just sit back and watch you give this up. It wouldn't be fair."

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within
Yeah...

"Hey, don't you know you're supposed to land on your feet?" "I thought I'd try something different. Guess I should just stick to what works, huh?" "You had me really scared. With everything we've been through with Rita and Zedd, this has been the worst." "Thanks for being here, Tommy."

Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know
(Be strong)
You'll break it
(Hold on)
You'll make it
Just don't forsake it because
(No one can tell you what you can do)
No one can stop you
You know that I'm talking to you

"I must be dreaming…Tommy is that you?" "In the flesh."

"We miss you." "You were a team long before I showed up. Everything will be back to normal before long." "...I miss you."

Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall

"How about I walk you home after school?" "You know anything could happen."
"Hey, I'll take my chances."

"Don't worry handsome, I'm here for you…"

Hayley's Cyberspace

"I am so sorry I'm late Martha…" Conner started as he apologized to his date. Seated at a table already with drinks ordered, Martha smiled at Conner. "It's alright, I understand, you probably had soccer practice run late…" "Aw, yeah…soccer practice ran late…how did you know my favorite juice was apple?" "Lucky guess" she smiled. "So what's on your mind?" Although things may have started a bit awkward, the two quickly became amerced in long conversation. "Well, I hate to end this date, but I have to get going, I have quite a bit to do before tomorrow, not to mention I'm in deep trouble if I'm late…" "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?" Conner said. "Yeah, I'll see you at school tomorrow." They parted ways and left. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Conner looked to make sure the coast was clear before answering the call from his communicator. "Conner, Hayley has some new info about Dr. O" "I'll be there as soon as I can"

Tommy's Lab

"So Conner, how as the big date?" Ethan teased. "We are very different people but…" "See, I told you Conner, she's not your type" "Thank you for interrupting me Kira, I was going to say we are very different, but that's what let us click so well. We are gonna meet again tomorrow…" "Ha, Kira, you owe me twenty" Kira grumbled and handed Ethan twenty out of her purse. "You guys bet on me? I'm so hurt" Hayley entered the room with a grim look on her face. "Hey guys, glad to see you are all here now." "Hey, where's Kim?" Kira asked. "Sitting behind you next to her amberized fiancée…" "Oh, hi…sorry we didn't see you…" "That's okay, I was enjoying your little conversation, but more on that later. Hayley, what's your news?" Kim asked eagerly, but in a tired tone. "The good news is that the amber is keeping Tommy alive, but in a fossilized state…" "Dude, our science teacher is a fossil, how funny is that." Kim, Hayley, Kira and Ethan gave Conner dirty looks. "What?" "…what's the bad news Hayley?" "Well, at the moment, I can't seem to find a way to free him…"

Mesogog's Lair

"So you're the head hauncho around here…nice place" the white ranger said eyeing his surroundings. "Zeltrax requested me to see you, I was bored so I agreed, now what do you want?" her asked impatiently. Mesogog slowly approached the white ranger, eyed him and walked around him I a circle to get a better look. "Yes, you will do very nicely…you and me are more alike than you know white ranger…Zeltrax, Elsa, leave us, we have business to discuss…" Zeltrax and Elsa looked at each other and grudgingly left the room. Both knew better than to question their master.

Reefside High

"Cass, did you hear that Dr. Oliver will be out for a while indifferently..." "Devin, you are a genius, if we get the reason behind his mysterious illness than we can have an exclusive…" "Oh, I thought we could send him a card or something…" "Duh, like when do we care…" "Cass…" "Okay, okay, you can send a card, but first we need to do some snooping around Miss Hart, she is the key to the story…" "What happened to finding out the identity of the white ranger or the other rangers?" "We can still do both! Come on, and bring that camera"

"Hm, if they find out the identity of the rangers…that wouldn't be good….I'll have to sabotage their tapes and alert them anonymously, if they find out I know, they might never trust me…no I will not tell anyone I know until the time is right…" said a person lurking in the shadows behind the school after hearing Cassidy and Devin.
