DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING BUT THE OCS AND THE PLOT.

CHAPTER TWO: ARRIVAL AND EXPLAINING

Reefside. The city where the newest addition to the power rangers legacy resided. Also where the newest edition to the power rangers's nemisis chose to constantly attack. The result? Many missed classes and very bad grades, which oftenled to getting stuck in detention. Ah, high school bliss. Conner McKnight, the current red ranger, sat in his seventh detention that week, staring out the window at the torrential downpour that had decided to grace Reefside with its unwelcome presence. The yellow ranger, Kira Ford yawned across the room, looking at the clock. Another of their comrades, Trent Fernandez, the white ranger, glanced over at Kira, his secret crush, and sighed. He was still trying to get the courage to ask her out. Unfortunetly for him, Conner had the same intrest in the yellow ranger as he did. Their fourth team mate, Ethan James, the esteemed blue ranger, was busily hacking the school board, trying to pass the time. And finally, their mentor, the black ranger, Dr. Tommy Oliver. The best power ranger ever, was now a high school teacher. Funny ol' world, ain't it? Anyway, the five all sat in Dr. Oliver's classroom, waiting to get the hell out of there. Tommy glanced up at the clock, and cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention. "Alright. We can all leave now." he said, earning a loud cry of "YES!" from Conner. The group looked at him skepitcally, before going their seperate ways. Meaning they all head to Hayley's Cyberspace.And for some reason, the rain had ne?

As the group entered, they saw five guys sitting in a corner, luaghing about something. They managed to over hear part of the conversation. "Dude, you still gotta wash the damn car." one with flaming red hair said to another, a dressed down samurai. "Yeah? Well I say you wash it. I ain't gonna do it." he said stubbornly. "C'mon, bro, you took the dare!" the group continued to the bar, where Trent looked at Hayley. "Who're they?" he asked, noting how they seemed to be keeping to themselves. "Hm? Oh, they blew in a fewhours ago, parked themselves right there, and haven't moved since. They keep talking about some stupid dare or something, involving a pair of tights and a tub of turtle wax. A bit odd, if you ask me." Hayley said as she wiped down the counter. The one with red hair looked up, and spotted Dr. Oliver. Nudging the one sitting next to him, a guy dressed in faded blue jeans and a green tank top. He nodded toward Tommy. The other looked as well, said something to the others, and got up. "Are you Tommy Oliver?" he said, his voice laced with lack of sleep. "Yeah. Who are you?" he replied, noting how he kept glancing around. Then he noticed somethingstrange about the way all his companions were sitting. They were positioned so that they could see everything that went on in the cafe. "Anthony. We need to talk." He said, eying the rest of the dino thunder team.

"Well, sit down." Tommy said. "Not here. It has to do with-" at this point his voice dropped to a whisper, so only Tommy could here. And by the look on his face, it had his undividedattention. "Okay. Get your friends and go to this address. We'll be there shortly." he said quietly. Anthony nodded, and turned to go back to his friends when he froze. Then he did something a bit strange: he began sniffing the air. "They're here." he saidquietly as he dashed for the door. His friends seemed to know exactly what he was talking about, joining him outside instantly. "Let's go." Tommy said as he got up to join them, seeing as a crap load of tyrannodrones were outside, going at it with the five strangers. As the dino thunder team emerged, something they did not expect happened: the one with red hair luanched a blast of electricity off of his right hand, frying one. "You may have got me back at the forest, but this time yer asses are mine!" he yelled as luanched another blast, this time lifting one in the air with it, then flinging it across the street. The dino rangers stood stock still as they watched the group of guys tear the tyrannodrones apart, both figuratively and literally. An Invisportal opened, and lo and behold,out popped Zeltrax.

"YOU!" Anthony roared furiously, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a green gem. Holding it up, Tommy heard him say something he hadn't heard in years: "It's morphin time!" the other four stopped to see a flash of emerald green light, and where Anthony had stood, was what looked to be the original green ranger.(A/N: HE'S BACK!) Tommy looked like he was seeing a ghost. "Let's rumble, you sack of mutant shit!" Anthony yelled as he charged at Zeltrax, dagger in his hand. As the two blades met, Anthony brought his leg up into a seamless standing drop kick, and back rolled away while Zeltrax struggled to get up. The other four stood behind Anthony, as if daring Zeltrax to attack. "This is far from over." he snarled before limping toward the invsiportal. As he was about to jump in, he heard Anthony: "Tell yer boss that if wants the Stones, he'll have to take them from our rotting dead bodies." As Tommy was about to walk forward, he heard the samurai. "Stay where you are. This fight is over, and we must allow him to deliver our message." he said sternly. As the portal closed, Anthony powered down. They heard the one with red hair to Anthony. "Aight, Diceman, you got serious explainin to do." he said frowning. Anthony chuckled nervously, while scratching the back of his head. This was gonna be a long day.

Back at Mesogog's palace, the forementioned villian was busy giving Zeltrax a healthy dose of a beam to the brain. "You failed yet again. Not only have you faile dto bring me the Deagon Stones, but you have allowed one of them to bond together with that islander!" he hissed, his fury evident in Zeltrax's pain filled screams. "Master." Mesogog stopped and looked at Elsa, the fury in eyes making her quake with fear. "What?" he hissed at her, clearly pissed at being interrupted. "There might be a way to aquire the stones." she stated. "Yes?" he said impatiently, giivng Zeltrax time to climb to his feet. "The stones bonding process seems to vary with each holder. The learder's stone always bonded first in the past, so the others would know whom they serve." Elsa explained, cringing at the way Zeltrax kept falling back to his knees due to the pain. Ouch. "So, I can take the rest?" Mesogog asked, intrigued at this new information.Elsa nodded."Very well." he hissed, a new plan forming. If all went well, by the end of the week, he would know which gem he had to use to put his plans into action, unhindered by the power rangers.

Back at Dr. Oliver's lab, Anthony was getting the third degree from Dave. "Why the hell didn't you tell you tell us that you could morph?" he screamed, his short temper getting the better of him. "Settle down." Dr. Oliver said, trying to defuse the situation. There was already a new window in the door, shaped like a fist from where Dave had tried to deck Anthony for the reason he was screaming at him now. "Settle down he say!" Dave raged, clearly beyond reason. "If you'll shut up for five minutes, I'll tell you." Anthony said tiredly, not wanting to go through this more than once. "Aight then." he said when he saw everyone was quiet and listening to him. Well, Dave with the aid of the roll of duct tape Derak always carried with him. "Okay. It started a day ago, the day after we found our stones. I was going for a walk out in the woods again when I felt like something had been added to my senses. I could see, hear, and smell everything like five times better. As the night went on, my senses only got stronger, and I heard this voice telling me things. At first I figured I was just hearing things, until those dino things attacked me again. Well, this time, it was like I already knew what to do. And I just morphed. It was like I'd done it a million times before." Anthony explained. "That still doesn't tell me why you looked like the original Green Ranger." Tommy said. "It's simple." they heard Dave say after he finally got the duct tape off of his mouth. "What?" Tommy asked Dave, a little confused. "The green ranger was the leader back then, and his zord was a dragon. And since theses stones harness the power of five dragons, it's only natural that it choose that appearance. Odds are, we'll all look like that when we're able to morph, just differant colors." Dave explained. And with that, the Dragon Rangers were formed.
