Normal POV
Tracy quickly demorphs, and she slides on her knees when she approaches Mike and does her best to hold back her tears while trying to wake him up. Her heart thumps inside her chest as she shakes her boyfriend for the third time and begs for him to open his eyes.
Mike, please wake up. I can't imagine graduating or going to prom without you. Tracy thinks.
Tears of happiness escape from Tracy's eyes as Mike slowly opens his eyes. He sits up then she hugs him tightly.
"It looks like someone has her civilian powers back," Mike groans.
"Yes, I'm sorry honey, it's just that I'm so happy that you're okay," Tracy says as she starts to release him from her embrace.
"Don't worry angel I'm fine," he says as he pecks her on the cheek before he wipes the tears from his girlfriend's eyes," I should be thanking you for breaking the spell. I hope that I didn't hurt anyone," Mike continues.
Tracy shakes her head no as she and Mike stand up. Tracy sees a confused look appeared on her boyfriend's face as Circuit flies over to them.
"Mike, this is Circuit," Tracy says, "He is from the future, and the other Pink Ranger you fought is too. Her name is Jen," Tracy continues.
"We should head back to the lab, so we can check to see if Mike's powers are still active," Jen suggests.
Mike holds out his right hand to his girlfriend. Tracy smiles as she places her left hand on top of Mike's. She sets her head on his shoulder as the group starts to walk back to the lab. Tracy's heart is soaring, knowing that Mike will be by her side for her surgery. Deep down, however, she is afraid that Mike may have lost his ranger powers because she had to destroy his weapon to free him from Rita's spell.
Meanwhile, in the city, the rangers continue to struggle against the newest monster Mesogog sent to attack Reefside. The team had to regroup behind a flight of stairs as Trent carries Kira to safety because of sprained her ankle.
"I vote we call Tracy and Jen for backup," Ethan says.
"Ethan, we can't do that. Remember, Tracy could lose her voice if she strains it too much," Trent says as he leans Kira up against the wall next to him.
Wes reminds Trent that Tracy was willing to take that risk when she went off to fight Mike, and they do need some help since Kira is no condition to fight.
Tracy's POV
We stop in our tracks, and I quickly let go of Mike's hand when I hear our communicators go off.
"What's wrong, Wes?" Jen says.
"Tracy, Jen, we could use your help. Kira is hurt, and Mesogog's newest monster has us pinned down," Wes says.
"We're on our way," Jen says.
"Just hurry," Ethan shouts.
Wes signs off, and I look over at Mike.
"Don't worry. I'll be careful," Mike says as he puts his hand on my shoulder.
I nod, and we run off to help our friends and teammates. Circuit helps us locate them. When we arrive, Jen shoots her blaster at the monster. Then Mike and I run in and kick it in the chest. We send it flying and it slams against a wall. We turn around as the team comes up to us.
"Nice Timing, you three," Wes says.
"How can we be sure that Tracy broke Rita's spell?" Ethan asks.
"She did Ethan, would I be helping out if I was still under it?" Mike replies.
Mike and I turn back around. We watch the monster slowly get to its feet, so Mike and I activate our morphers. After we morphed, Mike summons his weapon.
"Why didn't my Tro-bow appear?" Mike asks.
"Sorry, Mike, I had to destroy it to break Rita's spell," I answer.
I call for my weapon and hand it to Mike. He charges towards the monster. After knocking it back, I watch him make a circle with my staff to create an energy orb. I'm not sure when he learned how to do it, but I'm shocked when I watch the monster dodge it by jumping up into the air.
"Nice try, green ranger," the monster says.
Dr. Oliver POV
Tracy runs over to Mike after he starts to sway back and forth. After she catches him, Tracy helps him stand up. Mike puts his arm around her shoulder. Tracy helps him over to the stairs where we took cover while we waited for them to show up. I follow close behind her, taking out some triptoids along the way. When I arrive, I watch Mike's suit begin to flicker as Tracy sits him down next to Kira.
"What's happening?" Tracy asks.
"This happened to me after my team broke Rita's spell over me," I answer.
"But, your green ranger power created by Rita, so what's happening to Mike's?" Tracy asks.
"I'm not sure, but we'll figure it out when we get back to the lab," I reply. "For now, Mike and Tracy, you two should stay here with Kira while I go back to help the others," I say.
"Why do I need to stay?" Tracy asks as she clears her throat.
"Tracy, you've overworked your voice," I say.
"I don't care. I'm not turning my back on my teammates - especially now," Tracy snaps in a croaky tone.
I turn around when I hear the sound of an invisiportal opening, and I see the monster retreat. A few seconds later, the sound of Mike and Kira shouting Tracy's name makes me whip back around to see Tracy on her knees. I'm surprised to see Tracy's suit doing the same thing as Mike's. I help her stand up.
"Why are Tracy's powers fizzling out just like Mike's, Dr. O?" Kira asks.
"I'm not sure, let's head back to the lab," I reply.
Normal POV
The team arrives at the lab, and Circuit scans Tracy and Mike's dino gems.
"What did you find, Circuit?" Wes asks.
Circuit blinks his eyes, and a hologram of the results of his scan appear in front of the team.
"So, something is draining Tracy and Mike's ranger powers," Kimberly says.
"Correct," Circuit says.
"Why are Tracy's powers being drained? All she did was break Rita's spell over me," Mike says.
"Rita must have added another side effect to her powers," Tommy says.
"Can our powers be restored, Dr. O?" Mike asks.
"Yes, but for now, the two of you should keep your morphers at the lab, to keep your gems safe," Tommy says.
Tracy and Mike nod, and they hand over their morphers. Hayley hands Mike a new bracelet that is similar to the one she gave Tracy after they found out she can't morph. Kimberly gives Tracy her communicator back. Tracy leaves the lab and sits down the front step.
I can't believe it, and I get my Ranger powers back for less than a day only to lose them again. Maybe I should have just let one of the others battle Mike instead of me, Tracy thinks.
She spends the next ten minutes, just staring up at the sky. Her heart nearly jumps out of her chest when she hears the song "You and I" by Ingrid Michaelson play through her phone. She takes it out of her pocket and sees a text from Mike on the screen
'Hey, rock star, are you okay?'
'Yes, I'm fine Mikey, also I'm sorry that you're losing your ranger powers because of me. Also, why are you texting me, when I can see that you're standing right behind me,' Tracy replies.
'You don't have to apologize, angel, I'm not mad at you. I know there was no way either of us would know that this would happen.' Mike responds.
He walks over to Tracy and sits down next to her. He writes another text, 'Form how your voice sounded back at the fight, I thought you should rest it for a bit,'
Tracy puts her phone away after reading his last text. She sets her head on his shoulder. He puts his arm around her, and they look up at the sky to see stars begin to appear. A few minutes pass and Tommy leaves the lab to check on them. He stands in the doorway to see the teens admiring the night sky.
I'm shocked that Tracy and Mike have to go through the same thing I did when my teammates broke Rita's spell over me. We have to figure out how to restore their powers. We'll need their help when Mesogog's final plan begins, Tommy thinks.
