Tommy could have died, his wife was pregnant… they were just newlyweds and now they had a baby on the way. It was a deflating blow to them both and it made them take a serious look at their relationship, and all of a sudden it hit them, they were ready to parent, they could handle this baby. They could give him or her all the love they would need; they both had steady jobs and knew they could make this work.
The Mystic force rangers arrived as the original rangers were just finding out that their team's one official couple was expecting a baby and overheard the good news.
It took quite a while for things to settle down to the point where they had been before the big news was announced.
Billy and Trini had stepped away from the group to talk about what was going on
"Billy, I think something weird is going on, I mean, I thought the old power coins were destroyed years ago, and I find mine here!" Trini said quietly before noticing yet another coin, but the glint off the coin was blue. "Billy, I think I might have just spotted your power coin"
Billy turned around and noticed the coin and went to grab it. He picked it up and instantly felt the morphing power running through him again… was it strange that his coin and Trini's would happen to be in the same place, he couldn't say… it just seemed all too weird to him. He didn't know at the time that Jason had found his already and figured out that they did still work perfectly for reasons no one knew.
Zack headed outside of Rootcore to get some fresh air when he noticed a coin on the ground that gave off a strange black glint.
"What the…" he muttered as he approached the thing and realized it was a coin. He picked it up and discovered it was his mastodon power coin 'My power coin, whoa, I thought these things were destroyed!' He felt the energy from the coin fill him and realized that this was the actual coin and it did still have power, meaning that the command center must ether still exist or still have a module with power that connected to the morphing grid. He was unsure what to make of this find and went back inside to see if he could find someone that could give him some answers. Zack looked at Tommy in concern as they passed each other, Tommy was leaving as Zack was headed back in.
"Where are you going?" Zack asked
"I'm just going for a walk to get my thoughts straight" Tommy replied
"Okay, be careful and try not to get lost" Zack replied
"I'll try my best" Tommy replied as he left Rootcore for his walk.
Zack headed inside figuring his best bet was to talk with Billy about his discovery.
Tommy was walking through the forest when he saw something, or actually, someone standing ahead of him.
He stopped dead in his tracks as he realized this guy was evil and would probably be ready to fight, and Tommy was unprepared for combat.
Then Koragg noticed him and realized he had to be on the side of the power rangers and challenged him to a battle with the Hidiacs, in which Tommy was drastically outmatched this was not a fight he could easily win, as a matter of fact he would be lucky if he lasted through it much less won it. He was outgunned and out numbered and it seemed that the only result for him would be loss. He then felt a strange energy coming from his dino gem and it turned into his dino morpher.
Tommy was surprised by this and wondered if it meant the dino gem he was wearing was empowered again as well.
"DINO THUNDER POWER UP!" he exclaimed going through the moves unique to his morph.
To Tommy's relief he was suddenly morphed into the Black dino thunder ranger from that would easily have the strength to defeat the Hidiacs. Then he had to face Koragg himself.
"Who are you? I have never seen a power ranger like you before" Koragg said
"I guess you aren't familiar with the Dino Thunder Power Rangers" Tommy said "BRACHIO POWER, BLACK RANGER!"
"Ah, you are the black ranger of another team" Koragg said, "I am Koragg, the night wolf"
Tommy was not keen on going to battle with a sorcerer, even with his ranger powers; at that point fighting Koragg meant he might get destroyed, surrendering would ensure it. So he took the best option and decided to fight, he wasn't going to die now that he had a baby on the way… he wouldn't make his wife raze their child alone… not if he had an ounce of say so in the matter.
Udonna felt the dark energy from Koragg and called her rangers to gather.
"Rangers, listen, Koragg has attacked Tommy, I do not see him now but there is one unfamiliar ranger in the forest where Tommy was… you rangers must help this ranger or Koragg will destroy him" Udonna said urgently
"We will" Nick said as they all lined up. Then pulled their morphers, fully unfolded them to wand mode and entered the Spell Code
"MAGICAL SOURCE, MYSTIC FORCE!" they all said in unison and morphed into the Mystic force rangers then went for their Mystic Racers and headed for the battle site as fast as possible.
A few blasts at Koragg announced their arrival on the scene and Tommy couldn't have been happier to see his reinforcements arrive.
"You okay?" Nick asked
"Fine" was Tommy's quick reply "thanks"
"Don't thank us yet" Vida said as the fight started again
Defeating Koragg wasn't the easiest task, but a larger fleet of Hidiacs was ready to attack them.
A strange, high-pitched scream announced the arrival of another team of power rangers.
"Kira?" Tommy said
"Sorry, I should've given the heads up on the Ptera-scream" Kira confessed
"The Ptera-what?" Madison said
"Ptera-scream… I'll fill you in later…"
Conner, Ethan, Kira and Trent lined up
"Ready…" Conner said
"READY!" the rest echoed
"DINO THUNDER POWER UP" Conner, Ethan and Kira said in unison
"WHITE RANGER, DINO POWER!" Trent said
The battle was a little more drawn out than had at first been hoped, but once it came to an end everyone was glad to head back to Rootcore to cool off.
"Well, I'd say it may be best if you dino rangers go back to Reefside" Tommy said
"But, Dr. O… we wanna meet your old friends!" Conner said
Kira was too busy chatting away about music with Vida to even protest.
Tommy gave a wayward sigh, it would be impossible to persuade them to go home, so he gave up and allowed them to stay, as long as they didn't cause trouble, there were quite a few people in that one place to begin with, but four teens weren't that big a deal.
They headed inside and Kimberly met Tommy at the entrance with the line 'We need to talk' and Conner flinched which earned him a death glare from Tommy.
Tommy and Kim got away from the entrance of Rootcore and stopped to talk
"So when are you going to tell them about the baby?" Kim asked
"Who?"
"The former dino rangers… who else?" Kim laughed, "I don't think the mystic force rangers truly heard either"
"They heard all right, I don't see how you could think that they didn't"
"True" Kim smiled
"Why don't we just tell them now and get it over with?"
"Good idea, get the questions out of the way now" Kim said in a breathy sigh.
"Don't worry, beautiful, it's going to be fine" Tommy assured her gently
"Okay" Kim smiled slightly as they started back to Rootcore ready to give the dino thunder rangers the news that they weren't sure if they were ready to hear.
"Conner, Ethan, Kira, Trent… we need the four of you to come with us" Tommy said sternly
"I wonder what we did?" Conner said
"Who knows, let's just get this over with" Kira said
They gathered by the mystic racers and Kim prepared to drop the bombshell on this team.
"Guys, I guess you could say that I have some good news for you four" Kim smiled
"What is it, Kim?" Kira asked
"I'm pregnant" she replied
Bombshell didn't even come close to describing how the dino rangers reacted to the news that Kim was expecting
"Well, this is… unexpected" Conner said trying to seem calm
It took a while to settle things down from that bit of news and the four gave their honest congratulations to Kimberly and Tommy on the fact that this meant that their family was going to grow, but it seemed kind of soon to Trent, Tommy and Kimberly had only been married a couple of months, then he found out she was only a couple months pregnant so it made a little more since, but still it was hard to grasp.
The three teams began to mingle and get to know each other, each finding someone they got along with real well, for Ethan it was Billy, Kira it was Vida and Kimberly, Trent it was Jason, Nick and Madison, Conner it was Xander and Zack, Trini was off to the side watching Clare practice her magic and found it quite entertaining how badly she messed up.
"Great" Clare sighed after turning herself into a ferret "looks like it's going to be another one of those days"
Trini had to fight to keep from laughing at the young sorceress's misfortune, and found it not to be as easy as she thought it would be.
Udonna noticed that she could no longer find Clare.
"Clare!" The elder sorceress called
"Down here!" Clare replied as she came running to Udonna's call "I kind of messed up, as usual"
"Oh dear child" Udonna shook her head "you are going to have to learn how to return yourself to normal, although it appears we need to take it one step at a time" Udonna turned Clare back to normal and Clare went back to where she was standing prior
"Clare" Trini said "maybe you should try studying a smaller number of spells and try to master them before going on to the next ones" she paused "I may not have magic, but I know that learning how to do anything takes time, and it is easier to learn things a bit at a time than all at once"
"Yeah, that sounds like it should work" Clare smiled and picked up a book to work on "but what do you suggest?"
"Maybe opening to the beginning of the book and try to master the first three spells then after you have them, the next three and so on, but I would suggest you adjust the number you try on difficulty of each spell, it's up to you whether you do three at a time or two or four, but I don't think more than four at once is a good idea, that gives more to get confused… do you understand?"
"Yes, Trini, I'll try that, I think I was just looking at too many at once, that's why I know so few" Clare said guiltily
"I teach school, I see students doing that all the time, it is just natural I guess" Trini smiled understandingly.
"Thanks for the advice, Trini" Clare said
"No problem" Trini replied and left to allow Clare to study
"Trini, may I speak with you?" Udonna asked
"Yes Udonna?" Trini replied and approached where Udonna stood.
