Tammie, Damon, and Carl all rushed outside as soon as the bell rang. Damon told his two friends that Alex wanted them to meet at the lab. He mentioned a special project that Alex was finally going to reveal to them. The three found an isolated space and teleported to the lab
"Alex! Alex! Alex!"
"What is it?"
"Is it new weapons?"
"Did you find something?"
The blonde haired man looked up in surprise at the excited teens. There was a hint of amusement were shown in his eyes. He gave a chuckle.
"Hold on, calm down," he said. He motioned for the three teen Rangers to follow him. He walked over to the nearest wall and laid his palm upon. The wall began to glow bright blue and then disappeared, revealing another room. "Please step into my office," Alex smiled.
The three Rangers followed Alex into the small room. They looked around the and saw that the walls were covered with frames, frames that held familiar looking costumes.
"A-are those the Power Rangers suits?" asked Carl, amazed.
"Yes, they are."
"You mean the original ones?" asked Tammie.
"Yes, these are the suits of the first ever Power Rangers, as well as the Zeo and Turbo ones as well."
"Where did you get these?" asked Damon.
"These were inside the box," Alex said.
"What?" cried Carl. "These are what Goldar was after?"
"Wait," Damon said. "Think about it Carl, if Goldar and Scorpina were sent back down here to retrieve the suits, then it probably means that these suits are pretty important."
Alex nodded in agreement, wanting them to put the clues back together before revealing his finished experiment. Damon and Carl were both in deep thought, while Tammie looked at the suits. A certain pink Ranger suit caught her eye. She slowly made her way over to the frame that held it and placed her palm on it.
Once she did, images began to flash in her mind. Tammie stepped back in surprise.
"Tammie?" called Damon, turning to face her. "Tammie, are you alright?"
"Uh, yeah," she replied looking from the framed suit to her palm. She made her way back to the center of the room.
"Any idea why they baddies are so desperate for these suits?" asked Carl.
Tammie thought it over. "No, not really. Hmm…you said that Zordon kept this aside?"
Alex nodded.
"Why?" Tammie asked. "Why would he keep them if…they don't work?..."
"Maybe he wanted it as memorabilia," joked Carl as Damon laughed. Alex rolled his eyes at the two teen boys. He then focused his attention on Tammie who seemed to have caught onto something.
"Or," Tammie spoke again. "Maybe they still have some use…"
Damon and Carl looked at Tammie before looking at Alex. Their mentor gave a smile and nodded.
"Precisely, Tammie," he cried. He brought out his palm, face down, and shot a beam of blue light down on the ground. A small pedestal arose revealing three, big metal bands. Alex turned to the teens and began to explain.
"Before returning to Eltar, Zordan was able to transfer some Power into all these suits. He must have thought that, if ever, there came a time when the Rangers were defeated, the powers in these suits will be able to transfer into another new group of Rangers. When you three receive your Ninjetti powers and used them, the powers in these suits somehow sensed it and became active. The power in the suits then showed up on the Morphing Grid, which Rita and Zedd may have seen."
"And they sent Goldar to get it."
"Precisely," Alex said. "But, it is fortunate that you three were able to take it back."
"And those three bands fit into this how?" asked Carl.
"For the past months, I have been trying to find a way to 'upgrade' you three. I have noticed that the monsters have been getting stronger and that your fighting skills have improve also."
"New powers?" asked Carl excitedly.
Alex nodded and gestured at the bands. "I found a way to transfer the powers from the suits into these bands. In turn, these bands will connect with the spirit within you and I will allow you to morph into the Power Rangers Elite Force."
"Elite force?" asked Tammie.
"Yes, the bands all have the powers of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, the Zeo Ranger, and the Turbo Rangers surging through it. And you all also have the power of the ninjetti within your soul, so that is four types of powers all in one."
Alex picked up the bands and handed one to each teenager. The three looked at the bands. It was half an inch thick and the edge stuck out while the middle was slightly indented.
"Well, try them out," urged Alex.
Carl was the first to slip it around his left wrist. The metal band immediately tightened to loosely fit his wrist. The middle of the band turned black while the edges turned gold.
"Whoa," he cried.
Tammie and Damon did what Carl did. The bands all adjusted to fit their wrists loosely. Damon's band turned white in the middle and gold at the edges.
"Alright!" cried Carl, giving Damon a high five. The two boys turned to Tammie, to see her band. They were surprised to see that her middle band was a color of light silver.
"Hey! How come she gets a different color?" asked Carl.
"Does that mean that she's the Silver Ranger?" asked Damon.
"I suppose so," Alex said. "Not all Rangers remain one color."
"This is awesome," Tammie exclaimed looking at her band. Suddenly an alarm went of in the lab. All four of them ran out of the small room and into the lab.
"Looks like Scorpina's back," Carl said.
"What's the location?"
"Parking lot of the dojo," Alex said.
"Oh, no!" cried Tammie.
"I think it's time we tested our 'upgrade' out," Damon smirked. "Power Rangers Elite Force!"
The three crossed their arms on their chests as the bands began to glow. They dropped their arms to their sides as the glow spread all over their body. Each feeling a surge of adrenaline flow through their body. After morphing, the three looked down at their new suits.
Carl and Damon wore a suit which was in their own color. Their boots were like the original Rangers' with the diamond pattern on them. The diamond patterns were gold and the boots were the Rangers' own color. Both had on gold belts with a golden buckle at the front. The tops of the suits were similar to the ones that the Power Rangers zeo had, but the only difference was the circle with the symbol of Eltar on the middle of their chest. That, too, was colored with the Ranger's own color and had gold patterns. They had one gloves of the same color with gold detail. Their helmets were also similar to the Turbo helmets.
They both turned to see Tammie's new suit. Both of the teen boys stopped and looked in awe. Tammie's suit was similar to theirs but hers was a silverish color with gold details. The only difference was her boots, which were knee length. But the thing that really made them drop their jaws was the way the suit hugged Tammie's sexy body. Carl was glad that his helmet was hiding his expression from Damon. Suddenly Carl felt pain on his arm. He turned to look at this best friend.
"Stop looking at my girlfriend," Damon cried.
"Hey! I wasn't looking," Carl replied. "I got my own girl, remember?"
Damon was about to reply when Tammie cut in.
"Guys, we have a situation in front of my dad's business, so can we get going?"
The two boys nodded and the three teleported to where the monsters were attacking.
………………………….
Tommy felt himself fly and then hit the ground. He quickly flipped up as a Putty tried to stomp on him. He kicked the putty at the side and the putty rammed into the light pole. Tommy made his way over to Jason and Rocky.
"Bro, how are we gonna stop these putties?" asked Tommy. "They don't have the Z's they usually have."
Suddenly a three beams of light caught the three guys attention. Two of the beams had the same color but the third beam was one of a grayish color, rather than its usual red.
The three new Rangers landed in front of the ex Rangers.
"We'll take it from here," the White Ranger said. "Go back in the dojo and get the children out through the back exit."
Tommy, Rocky, and Jason obediently followed and ran inside the dojo. Damon, Carl, and Tammie all faced their enemies. With their new powers and greater rush of adrenaline, they found that they were able to take down their enemies faster than ever. After the fight, they teleported back to the lab, celebrating their new powers.
…………………………………………………..
A week later…
Tammie sat on the picnic table and watched her dad play basketball with her uncles. She looked up as she saw Damon and Carl heading towards her. It was a Saturday and they all decided to have a picnic.
Damon kissed Tammie on the cheek.
"Where's everyone?" he asked.
Tammie pointed to the court. "And Aisha went to the airport to pick Kat. They'll be here soon."
"Hey!" Rocky called. "You two wanna play three on three?"
Carl immediately took up the offer and dragged Damon away.
Aisha and Kat arrived and the guys stopped their game of basketball to eat. After eating and talking, Aisha and Rocky began to toss the football around and was soon joined by Kat. Jason and Carl began to spar, while Tommy and Adam were cleaning up the barbeque grill. Tammie and Damon sat on the picnic table, watching everyone go on with their activities.
"Finally, a day off," sighed Tammie as she placed her head on Damon's shoulder.
Damon smiled as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Wanna go for a walk?" he asked, hopping off the table. Tammie shrieked in surprise as Damon pulled her towards him. The two shared an embrace and leaned in for a kiss. But their kiss was interrupted by several flashes of lightning. All of the other rangers screamed, save for Carl, who let out several cuss words.
Putties suddenly appeared, but this time they seemed bigger, and bulkier than before.
"Let go of her!" Rocky cried as one of the putties grabbed Aisha. Rocky immediately began to attack the Putty.
"You three get outta here!" Tommy screamed as he kicked a Putty down. Damon, Carl, and Tammie began to run, but several Putties surrounded them. The three teens all began to attack the putties.
"Ahh!" screamed Rocky as he was thrown to the ground. Aisha and Adam soon joined him. Jason ran over to his friends.
"Are you three okay?"
"Jason watch out!"
Jason felt a hard punch on his back which caused him to fall on the ground with his three friends. Kat soon jumped in and tried her luck against the putty, but she soon fell to the ground as well.
"Leave 'em alone, rock brain!" Carl cried as he began to kick at the Putty. But Carl didn't see the other putty creep up behind him. He was thrown to the ground and kicked. Carl slowly crawled over to the four ex Rangers.
"You alright?" asked Adam.
"Oh, no!" cried Aisha. "Tammie!"
Tammie was surrounded by three putties. Damon tried his best to help her, but he too was surrounded by four other putties.
Tammie kicked one putty and punched another. But the third putty grabbed her arm and grabbed her by the throat. Tammie began to gasp for air. The putty threw Tammie and she flew over to where the others were.
"Tammie!" cried Tommy as he ran over to his daughter. "You alright?"
Tammie only nodded as she tried to catch her breath.
Tommy stood up, rage in his eyes. He began to kick and punch at the three putties that advanced towards him. But they overtook him and sent him to the ground as well. Damon flipped over to the group, who were all groaning in pain.
"We gotta do it," he said.
"Do what?" asked Carl, although he knew what Damon meant.
"Now?" Tammie asked, glancing at the adults who gave puzzled looks.
"It's the only way," Damon said.
"But Damon-"Carl began.
"He's right," Tammie said, standing up. Carl soon joined them.
"Power Rangers Elite Force!" the three shouted.
The former Rangers all looked in shock as the three teens before them morphed into Rangers.
"They were the Rangers?" asked Kat.
"That explains a whole lot," Jason said, as everything in his mind fell into place. They watched in awe as the three teens took down the putties. To them, the new rangers seemed to move twice as fast as they did when they were Rangers. The new rangers also seemed stronger and seemed to jump higher.
Once the putties were all gone, the three made their way to the adults. Then a beam of blue light seemed to surround them all. The former Rangers looked around at their new location.
"Where are we?" asked Rocky.
"Alex's lab," Tammie answered as the three teens demorphed.
"You were a Ranger?" Tommy asked Tammie.
"Yeah, just like you," Tammie snapped. Damon put his hand on Tammie's shoulder.
The sound of the door opening distracted everyone from Tammie's outburst.
"Welcome," Alex said.
"Dad," Damon began. "I'm sorry, I know we weren't supposed to let them know, but we had to! There were too many-"
"It's alright, Damon," he replied. He looked at the former Rangers. "Hello, Rangers. I am Alexander, a royal Ranger to the king of Eltar."
"Eltar?" Jason cried. "You're from Eltar."
"Yes," Alex said calmly. "Perhaps I should start from the beginning?"
The veteran Rangers all nodded.
"Here we go with the story again," sighed Carl.
……………………………………………………..
"How can we help?" Tommy said after Alex finished with the story.
"Help?" Alex said.
"We may not have our powers, but we still are Rangers in spirit," Tommy said.
"Yeah," Jason agreed. "We gotta help."
Alex looked at each veteran Ranger and finally nodded. "And how will you help?"
"Our ninjetti powers!" exclaimed Rocky.
Jason's face had a look of disappointment since he did not possess the ninjetti power.
Alex turned to Jason. "Jason, I suppose that you still possess your power coin?"
"Yeah, but it's no use, the power is gone."
"I think I can change that. Bring me your power coin tomorrow and I'll work on it."
"Maybe our friend, Billy can help?" Kat asked.
"Of course, I welcome all the help we can get."
With that, the group all dismissed.
AN: A short chapter, I try my best to post ASAP, I just hope that my chapters do not seem too rushed.
