Chapter 37
Tommy groaned as he heard yet another a screech from Kim's changing room. They had been at the store for 5 hours now. He looked at his watch again. He had his tux since a month ago, and didn't see why it took so long. She already had a dress for prom just in case she was still pregnant; now that she had the baby wouldn't the best solution to just buy the new dress in a smaller size that fits? Oh, no. Kimberly couldn't make a day at the mall that easy on Tommy. Nope, not this time.
"Fuck it! I am not going!"
"Beautiful, what's wrong with that?" Tommy asked.
"Every fucking thing!" She came out standing in red tube dress. "Look how fat I am in this."
"You just gave birth 4 days ago!"
"I had the perfect, perfect dress for the prom then I had to go and have the baby!"
"That dress doesn't fit you the same, but do you need a new dress?"
"I need a new body!" She pushed the doors back and disappeared. Another scream. Tommy caught the 12th dress in this store, as Kimberly didn't even come out. "Why do I even have to go to this stupid thing?"
"It's Prom! And because I have to be a chaperone and I need, want my beautiful…."
"Fat."
"Beautiful wife by my side."
"Take Hayley."
"I don't want to take Hayley."
"Well, I'm not going," Kimberly said. A sales clerk came over.
"Has the lady found a dress?" The young lady asked.
"No." Kimberly came out the room, dressed back in her t-shirt and jeans, with some dresses herself.
"I am so sorry, miss. We carry nearly every style of dress we possibly can." Kimberly walked out with Tommy.
"One more store then we are done."
"Fine, I want to get back to Sky anyway. His jug of breast milk might be low soon."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They passed the windows to the bridal store. Kimberly paused. Tommy stopped as well with a smile.
"We are already married and I don't think a white wedding dress is right for a prom."
"Don't be silly!" Kimberly hit his arm. A woman came out in her wedding dress. "Was I that beautiful in my dress?"
"Much more." Tommy put his arm around her and kissed her cheek. "Didn't you see Jason almost catch me?" Kimberly laughed a little. "Come on, one more store, we will find the perfect dress you want." Tommy took her hand and led her to the final shop. After an hour, Tommy looked up from his nap to see Kimberly coming out holding a dress. He let out a yawn.
"I didn't even see you in it."
"It's a surprise."
"You got black. I thought you said you didn't want to match."
"Ha, ha. You'll love it." Kimberly pointed to a small black satin purse with a white bow finish. "Oh, those earrings too."
"I like that matching necklace." Tommy pointed out as the clerk held up the diamond pear-drop earrings.
"Earrings will be just perfect with this dress. Nothing more."
"Saving me money, wow." The clerk rung up the dress. "Then again." Tommy pulled out his credit card. Kimberly smiled and kissed his cheek while wrapping her arms around his waist as she hugged him. "Your total sir is 425 dollars." Tommy nodded, sliding his card forward.
Tommy eased her dress into the car. Kimberly slapped his hands as he tried to get a peak.
"Hey!"
"Just wait! A few days to go!"
"Meanie."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Hayley's Cyberspace, Conner is excited about the prom being just days away. But Conner was surprised Ethan wasn't.
"So, let me rephrase this, instead of spending your Saturday night at the biggest event in our senior year, you are going to the movies?"
"It's not just a movie! It's the sequel to the greatest scientific movie in history!" Ethan yelled.
"It's a movie! This is the prom! It's tradition!"
"Yeah, what a tradition. Smart kids stand up against the wall in their techno colored suits, while all the cool people with dates dance and have a great time. Too painful bro."
"Sorry man. Never thought out it that bad," Conner said.
"Who are you going with?"
"Oh, I got a list of categories to choose from." Kira comes in and sits with the boys. "So, Kira. Who you going to the prom with?"
"Oh, I don't hate a date," Kira said.
"You don't seem to worried, prom is just a few days away."
"It's just a dance."
"See," Ethan said. Devin walks up and asks if he can speak to Conner. They walk away and Devin asks Conner for some advice on how to ask a girl to the prom, which brings happiness to Conner, at least someone is pleased about the prom coming up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mesagog begins to drain Dr. Anton Mercer's life force as he puts his plans together for his transmogrification beam that will transform Earth back to the dinosaur era. Mesagog needs the dino gems for his beam to be powered enough, but in the meanwhile, he uses the power he gave Elsa. Elsa is strapped to a chair and her power is drained. Then she vanishes. Trent observes all of this hidden away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Dr. Oliver's home, Kimberly was breast-feeding Clayton while Tommy filled her in on Mesagog separating himself from Anton. Trent had just told Tommy the story just moments ago. They were down in the lab. Trish had a play date with the Daycare. Warren and Darren had karate practice and Rupert was at his swim day today.
"That's great! That means we, I mean, you guys can speed up your plans."
"Yeah, Hayley should be by shortly to tell us how far along she is on the new project. I hope we can go soon." Tommy turned to his wife and son. He placed his hand on his son's head with a smile. Tommy kissed him, once lil Sky pulled away from his Mommy's breast. "Let me burp him."
"Shouldn't you be more concerned over this?"
"Nothing is more important to me than you…." Tommy kissed her on the lips. "And our children, especially this little one."
"Okay." Tommy took the baby and cloth. He burped Clayton for Kimberly.
Hayley arrived after Kimberly put the baby down for a nap. Kimberly was attempting to wipe the baby's puke from Tommy's black shirt, but all he was concerned with was kisses to his wife. Hayley had been busy at working with a beam of their own to stop Mesagog's plans. She was near completion with some minor work left.
"So, how far are we from doing this?" Tommy asked.
"Well, everything is fine with the truck and machine. The problem might be getting something this massive through an invisaportal without Mesagog knowing. We have to make sure we hit the invisaportal at the exact latitude we need or else…"
"We're fucked?" Tommy asked.
"Pretty much yeah, we're fucked."
"But once we, I mean you guys get inside, you'll be able to destroy Mesagog's lair once and for all," Kimberly said.
"Yes, we will."
"Good. That's what I like to hear," Tommy said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at Hayley's Cyberspace, Devin acts on Conner's advice and tries to ask Cassidy to the prom. But before Devin can, Cassidy tells him that Mr. Cormier has informed her if they do not find out the identity of the Power Rangers, they are fired from their jobs at Channel 3. Cassidy is determined to put everything else on hold, including the prom, until they discover the identity of the Power Rangers. Devin was not pleased.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Mesagog's fortress, Trent walks up to Mesagog.
"Where is he? Where is my father! What have you done to him!"
"Let's just say, he's in storage," Mesagog said with a laugh.
"He better be alive, or else…."
"Or else what! What will you do, Trent? Now, let's get to the reason you are here."
"I'm offering what you need to get your beam into work, all I ask for it my father's life in exchange. I'll bring the Dino gems to you."
"All six of them!"
"All 6 of them. I'll get you what you want, when you release my Dad."
"What guarantee do I have that you will give me the Dino gems?"
"What guarantee do I have you will release my father?"
"Alright. Bring me the gems and you can have your pitiful father. Though I don't know why you want him, he is as useless to me as Elsa is now." Elsa is reverted back to human form placed on the top of a rooftop in the city of Reefside. Elsa has no idea where she is or what has happened.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" Elsa gasped as Zeltrax appears and captures her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the Dino lab
Tommy and Hayley were working on the last touches to the truck, when Kimberly notices something on the computer screen.
"Uh, guys!" Tommy and Hayley looked up. "We got a problem." Kimberly zooms onscreen to show Zeltrax capturing a civilian.
"Zeltrax? He's still alive?" Hayley asked.
"He's capturing a human! Who is that?"
"I don't know," Tommy said trying to get a better look. "But what would he want with an civilian?"
"I better contact the others," Kimberly said opening a channel to the rangers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Ethan stands in line for the movie "Asteroid Conquest". Ethan is reading his book when another fan of the movie, a young girl, notices him.
"Hey, can I look at that book when you are done?"
"Uh, sure. You can look at it now, I have read it like a hundred times," Ethan said.
"Me too! My friends think I'm nuts."
"Wow, mine can't understand why I would want to go to a movie than the prom."
"That is so weird, mine said the same thing. Hi, I'm Angela."
"Ethan." Ethan and Angela talk for awhile, until Ethan's communicator goes off. "Oh man."
"Is that part of your costume?"
"Uh yeah. It's kind of like a beeper." Ethan turned to leave.
"You're leaving?" Angela asked.
"I have to go."
"Do you want me to save your place?"
"There is no saving places," a guy said behind them.
"Look, buddy do you want to really go there?" Ethan smiled. "I'll see you when you get back."
"Okay." Ethan walks away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ethan contacts back through his bracelet.
"This is Ethan."
"Ethan, great. We got trouble. Zeltrax is back."
"Zeltrax? I thought we destroyed him!"
"Not yet. Meet the others on Spring street near the steel building."
"Right." Devin observes all of this under an alien disguise. Devin follows Ethan. Ethan meets up with the rest of the Rangers.
"Where's the woman, Zeltrax?"
"She is none of your concern, rangers, but come fight if you must." They begin battling Zeltrax. When they are unsuccessful in defeating Zeltrax, the Rangers morph. Devin is stunned, but captures it all on his camera. During the battle, Dr. Oliver hears the young woman calling for help and goes to search for her. Dr. Oliver finds the young woman they had seen being captured by Zeltrax and releases her. The young woman is very weak and Dr. Oliver helps her to safety. The rest of the Rangers continue battling Zeltrax and Zeltrax tricks them into destroying a decoy. The rest of the Rangers spot Dr. Oliver with the young woman and race over. Trent recognizes the young woman as Elsa and Elsa confirms that the creature had called her Elsa.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rangers return to Dr. Oliver's home with Elsa. Elsa rests as the Rangers discuss their next move. Kimberly was making her comfortable as Hayley examined her.
"Trent, do you know what happened?"
"Mesagog powered up his laser beam that will transform Earth back to the dinosaur era, by turning humans to mutant dinosaurs. He did it by stealing the energy he gave Elsa."
"That can't be enough to run that type of equipment."
"I know. He needs more. He's gonna use the dino gems to get the rest of the power," Trent said.
"What do you mean, he's gonna use the dino gems to get the rest of the power?"
"Yeah, how is he going to get them?" Kira asked.
"I'm gonna give them to him."
"You're not going to give anyone my gem," Conner said.
"You want to get on that island. Mesagog wants the gems. If I give them to him, I can open a portal and get you guys in. Once you get inside, you can destroy the beam. I'll save my father."
"No way, it's too risky."
"But do we have another choice?" Kimberly asked.
"No, we need a strong invisaportal. This might work. This could be our only shot, Tommy," Hayley said.
"Thank you." The Rangers are reluctant to give up their dino gems. Tommy was the last one to put his black gem inside the case beside Kim's pink gem.
"This better work," Conner said.
"I'll call when the portal is open." Trent leaves to put the plan into action. Kimberly heard Elsa slightly moan.
"Guys, she's coming to." Everyone goes over to her.
"Are you alright?" Tommy asked first.
"I remember everything."
"Mesagog? Mercer? Fighting against the Power Rangers."
"Fighting against you. Mesagog had my mind completely in his power. I am so sorry rangers."
"It's not your fault," Kimberly said touching her shoulder. The computer beeps. The truck is finally fired and ready to go into action.
"She'll be fine," Kimberly said to Tommy as he looked at Elsa again. "Go." Tommy kissed her cheek. "And be careful!"
"Let's go guys!"
"Come back safe." Tommy nodded.
"We always do." Kimberly shook her head.
Trent went home fast.
"Guys, I'm about to head through. Be ready when I call you. The portal will only be open a short time."
"Got it. We're ready," Tommy said. Trent enters the invisaportal in his dad's office.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a rock quarry, the Rangers are thrilled with Hayley's latest creation.
"Okay, we are ready to roll."
"You have done it again, Hayley. Good job."
"That is sweet."
"Can I drive?" Conner asked.
"Uh no. We have to make sure we hit the portal at the exact right speed and we only get one chance at it. For that, I'll be driving."
"Now, we wait for Trent."
Trent entered Mesagog's fortress. Mesagog is impatient for the dino gems, but Trent refuses to give them to him until he sees his dad.
"You should have known better to trust me!" Mesagog uses his punishment beam on Trent and Trent is rendered helpless. Mesagog takes the dino gems and uses them to fire up his beam. Back at the rock quarry, the Rangers enter the truck and start racing along. The Rangers and Hayley feel a little uneasy when they do not see the invisaportal.
"Hayley are we at the speed yet?"
"Almost."
"Where's the portal?"
"We're at speed!"
"Where's the portal?"
"Everyone hang on!" They are racing toward a rock wall.
Trent manages to pull himself up long enough to hit the button that activates the invisaportal. Trent collapses back onto the floor and Mesagog is furious with him. The invisaportal appears and the Rangers manage to get through.
"The beam is powering up! We have to hurry and destroy it now!" Tyranodrones appear.
"Hayley, you take out the beam! We'll handle them!"
"I'll do my best!"
"Let's go!" The Rangers leave the truck and fight the Tyranodrones. They clear the road for the truck. "Hayley go! We got this!" Hayley drives on.
"Laser deploy!" Hayley feels the Tyranodrones on the roof of the truck. "You guys, someone has to re-angle the beam, Tyranodrones are on the roof!" Conner responds. Conner uses his super speed to reach the truck and get rid of the Tyranodrones. He straightens up the weapon.
"Hayley is that okay?"
"Close enough, now get out of there!"
"Right!" Conner yelled back before jumping off. Hayley successful fires the weapon and destroys Mesagog's beam. At Mesagog's lab, everything is falling apart, as Trent searches for his dad.
"Trent, get out of there!"
"I have to find my father! You guys go, I know another way out!""Trent, there is no time!"
"I'm not leaving without my father!"
The Rangers return to the truck. Trent is still inside Mesagog's lab and does not want to leave without his father.
"Good work, Hayley. Let's go before this place explodes."
"But what about Trent? We can't just leave him there!"
"He won't leave until he finds his father," Hayley said.
"No one knows this place better than Trent, we have to trust that he'll find another way out. Let's go." They all buckle up and return back to the rock quarry via the invisaportal. Trent finds his dad and helps him to his feet. Trent races along, while supporting his dad. The island is completely destroyed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the Dino lab, Kimberly and Elsa were watching the computer screen, waiting on the rangers to arrive back.
"I'll get you something to drink?"
"Okay, thanks." Kimberly goes upstairs. Elsa is watching the Rangers progress when she is startled by a noise. Kimberly gets a weird feeling and rushes back to the lab. Elsa turns around and sees Zeltrax. She gasped.
"Zeltrax!" Kimberly yelled.
"She is coming with me!"
"Not if I have something to say about that!" Kimberly and Zeltrax fight. Zeltrax cheap shots Kimberly when she tries to shield herself from his blast. Kimberly is knocked into the computer and is unconscious as she hits the ground. Zeltrax destroys the lab and then captures Elsa once more.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the rock quarry, the invisaportal closes finally.
"No! He can't be gone!"
"Now, what do we do?"
"I knew we shouldn't have left him."
"It's not like they are going to fall out the sky and land in front of us?"
"Are you mad or something!"
"What? The last time I did that, it worked." Suddenly Trent and Dr. Anton Mercer fall out of the sky. "See!" Everyone is relieved and happy and races to their side.
"You guys are alright?"
"What about Mesagog?"
"I don't think he made it….but just in case…" Trent reveals the dino gems in the white case.
"Tommy, I don't know where to start?"
"We'll talk later, Anton. Right now, we better get back to the lab. We still have Zeltrax to deal with."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hayley, Dr. Mercer, and the Rangers return to the lab and find it destroyed.
"What happened here?"
"It's completely trashed!"
"Kimberly!" They all gasp and rush around to search for her. The boys pushing around rumble. As Hayley looks for anything function to help them. Tommy groaned as he lifted a beam. Kim's hand appear. "Kimberly! Over here guys!" They all rush to help remove the debri." Kimberly moans as Tommy helps her sit up.
"What happened?" Tommy checks her head.
"Zeltrax….he took Elsa…barely shielded myself." Tommy rubbed pushed her hair back as he kissed her forehead. "I'm fine. Nothing hurts."
"How did he find this place?"
"He must have tricked us." Kimberly rubbed her head.
"This is all my fault," Dr. Mercer said. "I should have stopped this long ago."
"It's not your fault Dad. Not what you did when you were him."
"Trent's right." Tommy helps Kimberly stand. "This is about Smitty."
"But if it wasn't for Mesagog…"
"We can't change the past, Anton," Kimberly said. "Mesagog is gone. We should be more thankful for that." Everyone nodded.
"So what now?" Conner asked.
"I guess we can't hang up our morphers just yet."
"We find Zeltrax and save Elsa," Tommy said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile at Hayley's Cyberspace, Devin meets with Cassidy and tells her that he has evidence of who the Power Rangers are. Ethan returns to the movie line and finds Angela has held his spot for him after all. Zeltrax launches his Zelzord onto Reefside. Ethan must leave once again.
"Uh, guys, I found Zeltrax, or he found me. I don't think he's here for the movie."
"Thanks, Ethan. Ranger up, we'll be there shortly." Tommy turns to the others in the lab. "Let's go."
"I'm coming too."
"And who will take care of Sky?"
"I will," Hayley said taking the baby from his crib. "You guys are going to need all 6 rangers to defeat Zeltrax. He's stronger than ever before."
"Hayley's right. We're all a team here. To defeat him, we have all fight together," Kimberly said. Tommy sighed. She held out her hand. Tommy nodded and put his hand on top of her hand and the others followed. They all nodded.
"Ready?"
"Ready!" All their Dino morphers were activated.
"Dino Thunder Power-up, ha!" Kira, Conner and Tommy yelled.
"White Ranger Dino Power!" Trent said.
"Pink Ranger Dino Power!" Kimberly said.
They all arrive morphed. Zeltrax sent down Triptoids to battle the rangers. Tommy and Kimberly team up on a kick combo. Tommy takes Kim's hand, bending her back as he kicks another Triptoid back.
"Why thank you!"
"Just like old times!"
"Ha!" They continued to fight the Triptoids when Zeltrax from his zord blast the rangers back.
"That is it! This has gone far enough! Trent, Kim, handle the Triptoids."
"Not a problem."
"Right."
"Rangers, use the zords. Distract Zeltrax while I go after Elsa."
"You got it!" The Rangers called for their zords. Tommy enters the Zelzord to try and free Elsa. Trent and Kimberly battles the Triptoids on the ground and the rest of the Rangers pilot their zords against Zeltrax.
"I gotta help Tommy."
"Go, I got these!"
"Right." Kimberly leaves Trent to join Tommy in the Zelzord. Kira sees that.
"I'm gonna go help Trent!" Kira jumps down.
"Ethan can you handle the Mesodon?" Conner asked.
"I thought you would never ask!" Conner mans the Megazord and Ethan leaves to man the Mesodon zord to continue battling Zelzord.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tommy!" Kimberly yells as she searched around the zord. "Tommy!" Kimberly finds Tommy battling another army of Triptoids. Zeltrax at the controls with Elsa tied up behind him.
"Elsa, I'll be right there!"
"No, you won't!" Zeltrax blast at Tommy. Kimberly rushes in front of him and deflects his blast with her shield and sword.
"Let's dance, Zeltrax!" Zeltrax leaves the control panel after setting it to manual to fight Kimberly. Kimberly and Tommy battled Zeltrax.
"You will not win!"
"Tommy!" Kimberly caught him as Tommy was blasted back.
"Maximum power!" Zeltrax transforms into a stronger creature. "You and me, Tommy."
"Kim, get Elsa out now!"
"What about you?"
"Go now! I am the only one that can finish this."
"Okay." Kimberly rushes to Elsa. "Don't move." Kimberly slices the ropes holding Elsa. "I got you!" Kimberly catches Elsa and holds her up. Tommy is able to blast back Zeltrax. "Hey, ugly!" Kimberly fires some arrows from her bow at him.
"Leave now!"
"Going!"
"No one is going anywhere!" Zeltrax releases an enormous amount of black energy to keep them there. Conner and Ethan sees this.
"We have to help them," Ethan said.
"But how!" Conner and Ethan continue to battle Zelzord, until Conner gets an idea and place the arm of the Megazord inside Zelzord to make an area for Kimberly and Tommy to escape through with Elsa.
"Let's go!" Kimberly takes Elsa's arm. "Tommy come!"
"This is not over Tommy!" Tommy pushes Kimberly away.
"I'll be right there!" Tommy continues to battle with Zeltrax.
Kimberly and Elsa land with ease just as Trent and Kira destroyed the last of the Triptoid.
"Great job, Kira!" Trent and Kira grasp hands.
"You have her!" Kira yelled.
"Yeah."
"Where's Dr. O?"
"Coming!" Tommy jumps free of the zord. Zeltrax left the Zelzord as well.
"You can't get rid of me that easily!"
"Kira, take Elsa aside!"
"Right!"
"Come with me!" Kira grabs Elsa's arm and they retreat to safety. Kimberly and Tommy continued to battle Zeltrax with Trent.
"Kimberly!"
"Right!" Kimberly and Tommy stand with their backs to each other at first before combining their swords with massive energy blast. Zeltrax stumbles back.
"Energy orb strike!" Zeltrax stumbles back again.
"Tommy, do you trust me?"
"Of course!" Tommy tosses his sword up into the arm. Kimberly jumps up and catches his sword. She causes her bow to form from her back and lines up a direct shot on Zeltrax's center energy crystal.
"Hit the mark!" Kimberly fires everything they had at him. Kimberly lands next to Tommy just as Zeltrax falls to the ground while exploding.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They all looked up to the zords.
"We're going to need all the zords power to destroy it."
"Of course." Tommy calls forth every zord they have. Conner and Ethan realize they would have to sacrifice their zords to destroy the Zelzord.
"We can't do this."
"We have to," Conner said, putting in the self-destruct keys. "Goodbye old friends!" Zelzord is completely destroyed as the zords were sacrificed.
Kira, Trent, Dr. Oliver, and Elsa keep an eye out for Ethan and Conner.
"Where are they?" Ethan and Conner show up through the smoke of the debris.
"Ethan? Conner!" Kira rushes to them first. She hugs them. "That was so impressive!"
"Too bad we have to destroy the zords," Ethan said.
"It was the only way," Tommy said.
"You guys did what you had to do."
"There was no other way."
"Now what, now that our zords are gone? That can't how this ends, it can't be over like this," Conner said.
"Of course it's not over!" The rangers and Elsa turn in shock when they hear Mesagog's voice.
"Why do they always come back more?"
"You destroyed my plans, my island. Now it is time I destroy you. I was able to absorb enough energy from your dino gems to complete my transfiguration. Look upon the face of your final battle." Having absorbed some of the dino gems' energy, Mesagog mutates to Mesomonster.
"Whoa, and I thought Ivan Ooze was ugly. Ew."
"You better step aside, Elsa."
"He's right," Kimberly said. "Hide!" She pushed Elsa away. Elsa nods and rushes to hide. Elsa discovers Cassidy and Devin's hiding spot. Devin is filming the entire event.
"You guys ready for one more battle?"
"Oh yeah!"
"Ready?"
"Ready!" They all repeated holding out their morphers.
"Dino Thunder Power Up, ha!"
"White Ranger Dino Power!"
"Pink Ranger Dino Power!"
"Dino Thunder Power Rangers hiyah!" They morphed and go immediately into super dino mode. The Rangers pulled out everything to stop him. Tommy is blasted into a car.
"Tommy! Hey, back off my husband!" Kimberly rushes with her sword. Mesomonster shoves the car to Kimberly. Kimberly floats in the air as the car races under her. She shot some arrows at Mesomonster. He blasts at Kimberly. She puts up a shield only to have it destroyed as she is blasted back. Tommy catches her. Ethan uses his hovercraft cycle to try and defeat the monster, but with no success.
"My turn!" Conner goes Triassic. Despite all their attempts, it is not enough and Mesomonster begins to replicate.
"Okay, one was bad enough!"
"Now we got 6!"
"How do we fight them all?" Ethan asked.
"Guys, we need all our powers. It's the only way."
"Right."
"Okay."
"Let's do it."
"Power Rangers!"
"I summon the power of the gems!" Conner yelled.
"Dino gems unite!" The power forms the shape of a T-Rex and chomps up the several Mesomonster, destroying Mesagog and all his evil. The Rangers demorphed and gathered together with smiles.
"Everyone okay?"
"I feel…different." They all hold up their gems and look at them.
"Yeah, like normal again," Trent said.
"Me too."
"It's gone. All our powers!"
"It took everything the gems had to defeat Mesagog."
"So these are just…"
"Ancient artifacts. They will look great in a museum."
"Mine would make a pretty necklace."
"Yeah," Kira said.
"Well, hello rangers," Cassidy said as she appeared with Devin and Elsa. Conner and the rest turned and looked at her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They walk over to Cassidy.
"Ahh, so you know now," Conner said.
"Well, I knew, I just had to show Cassidy."
"This is like the greatest thing ever!" Cassidy hugs Devin. "And we got it all on tape. You know a reporter can make a whole career from this." Cassidy held up the tape.
"Cassidy, you do realize how our lives will be if anyone finds out."
"Yeah, I do….that's why….you can have it, Dr. O." Cassidy hands it over.
"Really?"
"Wait, Cassidy Cornell is passing up the scope of her lifetime and helping…us? Why?" Kira asked.
"Because I…you guys are my friends, right. And it wouldn't be nice to ruin your lives to make mine better. Especially after all you have done for our city."
"I always knew there was a heart deep down in there somewhere," Ethan said.
"Yeah, I just needed someone to help me find it. Come on, Devin. I still have some shopping to do before the prom. Bye, rangers." Everyone smiled and laughed as Devin was dragged away by Cassidy.
"Finally, I thought those two would never get together," Kira said.
"And just like that, life goes back to normal."
"What's normal?" Kimberly asked.
"Our life may be normal, but it will never be the same," Tommy said.
"Right." Tommy puts his arm around Kimberly. Kimberly hugs Conner's arm as he hugs Ethan. Trent hugs Kira as Tommy puts his arm across Trent's shoulders. They walk away together, with no powers, but always rangers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The night of Reefside's Senior Prom arrived lastly.
Tommy looks up from his seat in the living room just as Kimberly appeared. Warren and Darren playing their video game as Tommy watched them with Rupert. He stared up at her, amazed. Kimberly smiled as she stood in a black satin strapless a-line dress with trumpet skirt and white contrast sash with back half bow and her Dino gem as the brooch in the back, with black satin platform shoes. She walked slowly down the stairs as Tommy stood up.
"Wow, Kimberly…you look wonderful."
"Thanks." Aisha appeared with Sky in her arms and Trish at her side. Kimberly's hair was let down, wavy curls that reached her mid-back, with a part off to the side and her sparkling drop earrings.
"Did I do my girl good?"
"Absolutely." Tommy held his hand out as Kimberly finally stepped from the last stair.
"Wow, Mommy looks beautiful," Darren said from the couch after he paused the game.
"Yes, she does." Tommy put on Kim's wrist a flower. Kimberly fixed his tie as she was much taller, her head right at his chin, instead of his chest.
"You look very handsome too, tiger."
"I try." They kissed.
"Pictures!" Warren held up the camera. Kimberly and Tommy took many photos before leaving. Tommy grabbed Kim's black satin long jacket.
"We have to go, you are suppose to be there early as chaperones."
"It's only 5," Tommy said.
"They said 5." Tommy smiled.
"Prom is not for another 2 hours, we have time to spare."
"Thanks for babysitting."
"Are you kidding me. Emma and I are going to have the best time with these guys." Kimberly smiled, giving her children all kisses goodnight with Tommy before they left. Tommy quickly held up the bottom of Kim's dress as they got into the car.
"Do you realize I have never been a Prom?"
"Oh, right, they didn't have a Prom at the school in Florida."
"Over ten years later and I finally get a prom."
"We get a prom, together. Let's make tonight our own special prom night."
"I love how you think, Mr. Oliver."
"And I love you, Mrs. Oliver." Tommy takes her hand and they drive off to the prom.

Cassidy and Devin arrive from their white limo.
"Whoa, this is amazing!" Hayley walks up to them as they came inside.
"Don't you two look very nice."
"Thank you so much Hayley. Oh and on behalf of the prom committee, we thank you again, Hayley for all your work."
"The new kinder, gentle Cassidy."
"So, I heard and what you did for the rangers, very nice."
"Isn't the world sweet? Let's dance baby."
"Gladly!"
Ethan stood there playing a handheld game boy.
"Hey, Ethan, my man!" Conner and Ethan high fived. "You remember Krista?"
"Of course." They shook hands. "You're the tree girl."
"Yeah, I guess you can call me that. I'm gonna go get a drink. You want one?"
"Sure." Krista leaves them.
"I'm glad, you decided to come!"
"The tree girl?"
"Hey, it's what inside that counts."
"Ahh, our little Conner has grown up."
"So, what changed your mind?" Conner asked.
"Actually…" Angela, Ethan's date, arrives with drinks and is pleased to met Conner, whom she has heard so much about from Ethan.
"So, where is Kira? I want to meet her too."
"I don't know, I haven't seen her," Conner said.
"She probably isn't coming."
"Hey guys!" Conner and Ethan look up to the balcony to see Trent.
"Hey Trent!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trent is hanging out with his dad, Kimberly and Tommy on the balcony.
"So with graduation just weeks away, what are you plans next Trent?"
"Actually, you would be happy, I'm heading to Art School in the fall."
"Are you okay with that, Anton?"
"Couldn't be happier. How about you Tommy? What's next for the man that has done it all?"
"Staying here, teaching. Just a quiet life with my family from now."
"Better be," Kimberly said as he wrapped his arm around her.
"You sure about that?" Elsa appears. "I hear the new principal is a hard nose."
"I think she will be brilliant."
"I was wondering if the new principal would like to dance?"
"I would love to." Dr. Mercer puts his drink down and holds his hand out. Elsa and him go down to dance.
"Oooh, step mother." Trent smiled. "Oh, honey you better go. It's almost time."
"Right."
"You guys leaving already?"
"No, I gotta introduce the band." Tommy walks to the stage.
"The band?"
"It's a surprise," Kimberly said. "Come on." Trent and Kimberly went downstairs to the crowd.
"Hey guys. I just want to say we have had an interesting year, we have all been through a lot. More than any school should have to go through, but we made it. And we are okay. And that is what is really important. Now let's really start the party! Here she is, one of your own….Kira Ford!"
Kira and her band appear behind the curtains, her yellow Dino gem, a jewel necklace just as she said she wanted to make it. Everyone cheers. Kira and her band play as the crowd and her friends cheering her on. Tommy returned to Kim's side as everyone went to dancing. All the rangers have flashes of their days as rangers. Kira smiles as she sings on.
"Well, Dr. O, how about a dance?"
"Anytime, Beautiful." He takes her into his arms and dips her. Kimberly laughs. Her arms go around his neck. "I love you."
"Mmm…I love you too." They kiss repeatedly with smiles. Tommy swings Kimberly a bit back and forth.
"Yeah! Kira! Wooo!"
"Woohoo!" Kimberly and Tommy looked up from their kiss to see Kira bowing to the crowd. Confetti bombs going off. She blew a kiss toward Trent, Conner and the rest before she moved to the next song. They all nodded and cheered her more.
The end
NOT!
Epilogue is next!
Hehehehe, see how I worked that!
