Summary: Sixteen years after the downfall of the notorious Lord Silas, some of the Rangers return to Angel Grove. They are all surprised to hear that there had not been any monster attacks or any Power Ranger sighting for the last sixteen years.
Suddenly, an asteroid lands in Angel Grove. Inside the asteroid, scientists find a message that foretells the return of the evil forces and states that the destined ones will soon return to protect them. The ex Rangers realize that they are being called into action again. However, they soon discover that they were not the destined ones the message was referring to…
Who are the new Rangers?
Sixteen years later…
Tommy took a deep breath as he stepped into the bustling Angel Grove airport. "I'm back home," he thought to himself. He felt a sense of happiness and relief wash over him. He was back home and was soon to be reunited with some of his close friends. But he knew that it wouldn't be the same…
"Tommy!"
The thirty six year old man snapped himself out of his thoughts. He looked around, trying to look for the person which the voice belonged to. Tommy smiled as he saw his best friend, with the usual red colored shirt making his way towards him. The two best friends exchanged a brotherly hug. Jason reached down for Tommy's other suitcase and led Tommy to his car.
"How's it going man?" asked Tommy as he got in the passenger's seat. "Is everything going good with the dojo?"
"Yeah," Jason said. "Everything's basically set up. All we have to do is advertise the grand opening and then just wait. Aisha is helping out with the flyers and Adam's letting us have a small karate demonstration at the Juice Bar."
Aisha and Adam, like Tommy, missed their hometown and decided to move back. Aisha was planning on taking a job as a teacher at the high school, but instead, took up Jason's offer of bookkeeping for the dojo. As for Adam, he now owned the Juice Bar and lived with Aisha.
When hearing about Tommy moving back, Jason and Rocky immediately asked for him to join their partnership for the dojo. The legendary White Ranger agreed. And now, he was back in Angel Grove helping with the final touches before their Grand Opening.
"How come Tammie didn't fly in with you?" Jason asked.
"Her best friend's birthday is tomorrow and she didn't want to miss it. She's flying in Wednesday night. The furniture and stuff are coming in on Thursday morning. I wanted to come early so I could at least help out as much as I can so Tammie doesn't end up unpacking our things alone."
"Well, you'll definitely help out at the karate demonstration. You're the most skilled out of us three. I'm sure you'll be able to get people interested."
"Hey, you don't think that…you know, anything bad will happen do you?" asked Tommy.
Jason looked over at his best friend and cocked his eyebrow. "What?"
"Do you think that there'll be any monster attacks? I'm sure that whoever is trying to take over the earth knows that we used to be part of a Ranger team."
"We have nothing to worry about," Jason said. "From what I've heard, there hasn't been any monster attacks since…Lord Silas."
Tommy felt his eyes flash when he heard the name of the person responsible for his wife's death.
"And when there are no more monsters," Jason continued. "There is no need for any more Power Rangers…"
"What? Are you saying that…there isn't a Ranger team?"
"Hard to believe huh? But Silas was considered the boss of all bosses. And since he's gone…I guess no one has the guts to try and rise up again. And as for the Power Rangers, there was another team after the Turbo team. But after two years of no monster attacks, they disbanded."
Tommy sat back, appalled at what he had just learned. The remainder of the car ride remained silent, each ex Red Ranger deep in thought about their times as a Ranger.
Tammie Oliver sat in Angel Grove airport waiting for her father to pick her up. She found her eyelids continually growing heavy over her chocolate brown eyes. Her eyes quickly snapped open when a strong hand gently shook her.
"Dad, you scared me!" Tammie exclaimed standing up.
"That's why you shouldn't be sleeping in an airport where anyone could just grab you," Tommy said.
"Is it my fault that my father is always late?" Tammie teased back. Tommy tried to come up with a comeback, but failed.
"Alright, let's head home so you can sleep."
The father and daughter headed out the airport.
Half an hour later, they arrived at their new house. Tammie was barely able to open her eyes. She stumbled after her father and headed straight for the stairs.
"Your room is the first door on the right," Tommy called. Tammie entered her new room and instantly fell into her bed.
Tammie woke up the next morning in an unfamiliar room. It took her a few moments to remember that she was not in Arizona anymore. She got up, looking for the bathroom. Once she found it, she showered and changed.
As she made her way down the stairs she called out for her dad. But she got no answer. The teenager made her way into the kitchen and saw a note.
Karate demonstration 2.
It was only 11 in the morning. Tammie looked around at the unpacked belongings. "I guess I got my own work to do," she said aloud as she put up her long brown hair into a ponytail. She decided to first put the boxes that contained the belongings in the designated rooms.
Two hours later, Tammie made her way back down the stairs for the hundredth time just as Tommy walked in.
"Hey daddy," she said in a cheery voice. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to pick you up and take you to the Juice Bar with me. Did…did you move all the boxes?"
"Yeah, I wanted to make it easier. So all the boxes that have the things for the kitchen are in the kitchen, and all your boxes are in your room, and so on."
Tommy stared at his daughter, amazed. She didn't even seem to be tired.
"Well, come on. I'm sure you haven't eaten anything yet."
Tammie went to the bathroom to fix her hair and wash her face again before jumping in the car.
Tammie walked around the Juice Bar. She grew tired of watching her dad and Rocky spar. She had finally met her parents' close friends and all of them had paid her the same compliment: "You look just like your mother." Tammie always smiled at the compliment even when it triggered sadness. She only saw her mother through pictures and nothing else.
Looking through photographs, Tammie saw that she did look like her mom. They had the same facial features and the same colored eyes. But Tammie inherited Tommy's dark hair and his full, long eyelashes. Tammie felt guilty knowing that she didn't really miss her mom. Who could blame her since she was only six months old when her mom had died? But there were times when she wished that she had known her mom.
The teen girl made her way to the bar where Jason was talking with Adam.
"Hey, kid," Adam said. "Want anything?"
"No, thank you."
"Everything alright?" asked Jason.
"Yeah, just bored," Tammie said. "Is there anything I can help with?"
"Nope, sorry sweetie. Maybe when more people get in."
Just then two teenagers entered the Juice Bar.
"Hey Adam! What's up Jase?" cried the boy with black hair. "How's it going?"
Adam and Jason greeted the two teens. Adam introduced the two to Tammie.
"That crazy one is Carl and this guy," Adam said, pointing to a boy with spiky, dark brown hair, "is Damon."
Tammie smiled at her new acquaintances, but her eyes seemed to linger longer on Damon. Jason noticed the looked in her eyes. It was the same one Kim had when she first saw Tommy. Jason smiled to himself. "Tommy's not gonna like this."
"Who's the guy in the white Gi?"
"That's Tommy," Jason said. "Tammie's dad."
"He's good."
The four watched Tommy perform a series of kicks in the air then do a flip back.
Soon a crowd of people began to enter the Juice Bar.
"So, anyone wanna help with the orders?" asked Adam. Tammie, Damon, and Carl all volunteered. Tammie and Carl were left to take orders, while Damon helped Adam in the kitchen. Jason made his way back to the mats to prepare for the demonstration.
"Hi," Tammie said cheerfully, as she approached a table. "May I take your order?"
The table of boys quieted down as they looked up at the pretty waitress. They all eyed her in a way which made her uncomfortable. A blonde hair, blue eyed guy spoke up, "It depends, are you on the menu?"
The guys all burst out laughing.
"If you are," the boy continued. "I'd like a taste of your right now."
Tammie felt her face flush. She didn't know if she was more angry than embarrassed. Lucky for her, Damon had overheard.
"Anything the matter here?" he asked. The group of guys instantly stopped laughing. Tammie thought she saw a hint of fear in their eyes. But the blonde guy seemed unfazed.
"If you don't mind Damon, I'd rather have Miss Cutie here take our order."
Tammie clenched her fist, which resulted in her scrunching up her notepad. She soon felt a hand over her clenched fists. She looked down, seeing Damon's hand on top of hers. Tammie looked confused but realized that he was trying to get the notepad from her. She quickly let go.
"Well, she's on a break. So, I'll be your waiter this evening," Damon said with a smile. He nodded at the still shaken young lady next to him.
Tammie whispered thanks before heading behind the counter to help Adam.
"Stupid jerks!" she thought. "Why couldn't I have defended myself? I should said something back. Good thing Damon was there, but he probably thinks I'm so weak-"
Tammie's thoughts were interrupted by Damon. He had come to check if she was alright.
"Yeah," she sighed. "I'm fine. I-I guess just a little shaken up. I didn't expect to deal with perverts tonight."
"I'm sorry about that," Damon said. "I should've warned you about them."
Damon gave her a small smile which sent butterflies in her stomach.
"It's alright."
"This is for table number five," Adam called as he placed a tray out on the counter. Tammie was about to reach for it, but Damon quickly got it from her.
"These are the perverts' orders," he said. "Unfortunately for you, they'll be looking for a chance to try and hound you again. So it'll be best if you stay here."
"Oh okay."
Damon gave her another smile and left. She watched Damon, beginning to admire him. He was tall and a bit buff. His eyes were a dark brown but seemed to have small specks of gold. But the thing that Tammie liked most about him was his smile. It was a shy type of smile, one that would make any girl melt. Tammie felt herself begin to smile.
"Hello? Earth to Tammie!"
Tammie snapped out of her admiring state. She turned to see that Carl was standing beside her, looking from her to Damon.
"Ah! Getting caught up in day dreams, eh?" Carl said. Tammie felt color rising to her cheeks.
"No, I-uh-I was just…"
"You're secret is safe with me."
"What? I don't have a secret."
Carl smiled. "Okay, if you say so."
