Tammie greeted Adam as she sat at one of the stools at the bar.
"Where's everyone?" she asked when she saw that the Juice Bar was practically empty.
"Most likely at home," Adam replied. "No one wants to be out on the streets while monsters are appearing out of nowhere."
Tammie shook her head. "Don't you think this whole monster thing is a little…absurd? I mean, it's stupid! What if this is just some joke?"
"Ah, I wouldn't say that," Adam told her. "This isn't the first time this has happened."
"What do you mean?"
Adam stopped wiping the counter and looked at Tammie, finding a way to explain it to her. Before, he wasn't sure if Tammie knew about the Rangers, but now he was positive that she didn't.
"Just that, this isn't the first time monsters have appeared out of nowhere." With that, Adam quickly entered the kitchen, avoiding further questions.
Tammie let his answer sink in and headed towards the beam. "Maybe Angel Grove isn't as boring after all…"
Saturday afternoon, everything seemed normal again in Angel Grove. Tammie was glad too, or else, Tommy wouldn't have let her go out again with Damon.
"I'm meeting Damon at the Juice Bar," she told her dad before she headed out the door.
Tommy nodded and returned to his conversation with his friends.
"So, what are gonna do?" asked Rocky.
"Yeah, what are we gonna do if those monsters return? We all don't have the ability to morph anymore."
It was true. After defeating Lord Silas and losing Kimberly, the old Rangers gave up all their morphers to the new Rangers.
"We'll just have to fight them without the Ranger powers," Jason declared, assuming the leader position.
"He's right," Tommy agreed. "They didn't really fight back last time. We just have to keep them off until the civilians are safe."
"But how's that going to let us know what we're up against?" asked Aisha. "We don't even know who's really behind this."
"We'll just have to go with the flow."
"The monsters have appeared again!"
The former Rangers quickly stood up and focused their attention to the TV.
"The same monster who appeared two nights ago, are now making their presence known in Angel Grove Park."
"Let's go!" cried Jason. The ex-Rangers all ran out the door. "It'll be faster if we just go straight there!"
It was a good thing that the park was only a few blocks away. Once they arrived there, the began to ran towards the monsters.
"These seem more aggressive!" called Rocky.
"Just fight them!"
Jason began to attack two of the monsters near him. Soon, two more monsters ganged up on Jason.
"Need a hand?" asked Adam as he joined beside Jason.
The ex-Rangers were doing their best to get the monsters to withdraw, but without their powers they were getting their ass kicked.
"Alex! Something's going down at Angel Grove Park!"
"Those monsters are back!"
The man looked at the big screen that was mounted the wall. He turned to the two boys behind him. "Go, it is time for you to begin your destiny."
The two boys nodded. And in a flash of light, they were teleported to the park.
The ex-Rangers, who were together, surrounded by the monsters, turned in surprise, as two ninjas appeared out of no where and began fighting the monsters.
"Those look like our old ninjetti uniforms!" Adam said.
"I thought you said there weren't anymore rangers," Tommy said to Jason.
"Well, I guess I was wrong."
Suddenly one of the ninjas, who was dressed in white, flipped in front of the group.
"Thanks for the help," he told them. "But we can take it from here. Just make sure that these innocent people get out of here safely." The white ninja then began to charged the monsters. The ex-Rangers only watched as the monsters headed towards their new target.
Jason nodded to his friends and all of them split up to help the innocent bystanders.
Tammie let out an exasperated sigh and stood. It was already five thirty and Damon hadn't shown up. She began to walk out of the Juice Bar. Suddenly flashes of white light appeared, showing the monsters that everyone was talking about.
"Oh God!" Tammie cried. "Let go!"
Tammie kicked one of the monsters in the chest and elbowed another one in the face. She continued trying to fight them, but knew that she couldn't take them all on. Tammie dropped to her knees as one of the monsters hit her on her back. She prepared herself for the pain, but never felt it. She looked up and saw that she wasn't in front of the Juice Bar anymore, instead, she was in a room filled with machines. "Why does this seem familiar?"
"Tammie!" a man cried.
"Wha-who are you?"
"I am Alex, Damon's father," he explained quickly. "We don't have time, Damon and Carl need your help."
"Huh?"
Tammie looked over to the big screen on the wall. She saw two figures dressed in ninja suits fighting against the monster.
"That's Damon and Carl?"
"Yes, they are the destined ones that the message was talking about."
"Okay, but why do you need my help?"
"Because it seems that you are one of the destined ones as well."
"What? How?"
"There is no time to answer that now!" he said. "Are you willing to help your friends?"
Tammie looked back to the screen and saw that Damon and Carl were surrounded by the monsters.
"Okay, I'll do it."
"I promise to explain later," Alex said. He handed her a small gold coin. Tammie turned it over in her hand. "Hold it out and say these words: 'Red Dragon Spirit Force!'"
Tammie did as the man told her. "Red Dragon Spirit Force!" Tammie felt a wave of energy burst through her body. She looked down and saw that she wore a red ninja costume which was similar to Damon's and Carl's.
"Now, go and fulfill your destiny!" Tammie felt herself teleport and landed outside the circle of monsters. She flipped over the monsters and landed in front of the surprised Damon and Carl. She immediately began to fight the monsters. The two ninjas regained their energy, just watching the red ninja. They joined in the fight and managed to take down five more of the monsters.
Suddenly, a burst of black smoke appeared. Once the smoked cleared, and figure dressed in black armor and a black cloak appeared. His eyes were red and his skin was scaly like a snake. A snake like tongue flicked in and out of his mouth.
"We don't have time for this!" he bellowed to his minions. "We have what we needed! You put up a good fight! Expect my return!"
The white ninja stood between the black and the red. "We'll be ready for you!" cried Damon's voice. The former Rangers cautiously walked back towards the ninjas.
"Who is that?" asked Adam.
"That doesn't look like anyone we've fought before," Aisha said in a low voice.
The snake-like figure stretched out his hands and black electricity shot out over to his minions. Then the monsters, including the master, disappeared. The three ninjas looked at one another and gave each other high fives.
"Hey!" called Tommy, as he began to jog towards them. "Who are you guys?"
"The destined ones who have the power, just like the message foretold," replied the white ninja. The rest of the Rangers began walking towards them, but the three ninjas disappeared as the familiar colored beams took them away.
"So, I'm guessing, the message wasn't talking about the Power Rangers?" Rocky asked.
"No," Tommy said. "I think those were Power Rangers. Their uniforms look just like the ninjetti ones that we used to have."
"But they had dragons on the symbols on their chest," Adam said. "We had our own animals on them."
"Come on, let's talk about this somewhere else," Jason said. The perplexed rangers all began to walk back to Tommy's house.
"Well done!" Alex said.
The three pulled down their hood and ninja mask.
"Tammie?" Damon and Carl cried together, when they saw their friend reveal her face.
She only smiled at them.
"She's one of us too?" asked Carl.
"Yes and no. She has the power and spirit of a Ranger-"
"A what?" asked Tammie.
"I think you should start from the beginning again," Damon said, taking a seat at the table.
Tammie followed the guys to the table, preparing herself for what she was about to hear.
AN: Short chapter! I think I got kinda lazy on the fight scene. But I'm just eager to write the next chapter in hopes to clarify certain things.
