Chapter 3 Back in Black
It was the day of Kira's gig, but Tommy still had not showed up. It was being held at the Cyber café. Ethan had requested to the owner, Hayley that Kira have a shot playing there one time.
"Where's your husband, Kim?" Kira asked.
"I don't know, Kira. He's not one to be early, but not this late either," she sighed.
Billy and Trini walked in.
"Billy, Trini, where's Tommy?" Kim asked.
"You mean he's not here?" Billy gasped.
"No, I thought he went to talk to you," Kim replied.
Trini and Billy looked at each other in shock. They could have sworn that Tommy was going straight here after he went over to their house.
"Kim, he did come," Billy told her. Kim looked over at Maggie, then back at Billy. "He said he was on his way here after that."
"This is not good," Ethan sighed.
Conner looked over at Ethan.
"So not good," he said.
Little did they know Tommy had been kidnapped by Tyranndrones? Mesogog knew that he knew how to open the gem.
"Should we freak out?" Kira asked.
Kim looked over at her.
"I think it's a perfect time to freak out," she sighed.
"Kim, I hope he's okay," Trini said.
"Let's go," Billy nodded.
"What about my gig?" Kira asked.
"Play one song, and then come," Kim said.

Tommy had been captured and taken to Mesogog's island fortress.
"What do you want with me?" Tommy yelled as he was being tied to a chair.
"How rude of me not to explain," Mesogog hissed. "My sensors tell me this stone cases a power that will be most useful to me… that's where you come in."
"Sorry, can't help you there. I'm just a high school science teacher," Tommy said out of breath.
"Really? A high school science teacher who just happened to have target three brats to become Power Rangers? I know you know what's inside this stone. You're going to help me get it out, or you will not like the consequences," Mesogog hissed.
Tommy continued to struggle in the chair.
"What consequences?" he asked.
"I know all about your wife and child," Mesogog said.
"If you do anything to them I'll…" Tommy began.
"Don't worry. They won't be harmed if you just corroborate with me," Mesogog said.

Back at the house, everyone, minus Billy and Trini, were in the lab. Kira was walking back and forth.
"This is bad," she said.
"Way bad," Ethan nodded. "Worse than crashing after getting to level nine in SNSW."
Conner looked at him.
"Huh?" he asked.
"Super Ninja Space Wars," Ethan said.
Kim got up from her seat.
"You guys, I think there's something you need to see," she said. Kim sat at the main computer and typed in a code. "I'm in."
Kira looked over at her.
"Yeah, but where?" she asked.
The screen showed Tommy.
"I'm Tommy Oliver, if you're not me, then something is seriously wrong. This video diary is a confidential record, only to be viewed in case of an emergency. What you're about to see is a history of my life," he said.
"More dinosaur bone stories. Yawn," Conner sighed.
Conner put his hand over his mouth. The video continued.
"My history, as a Power Ranger," Tommy finished.
Conner's eyes grew.
"Okay, un yawn," he said.
"And you knew about this, Kim?" Ethan asked.
Kim smiled at Ethan's words. They were not going to believe this.
"You'll see. Now pay attention," Kim smiled.
"My story begins in Angel Grove. With five teenagers with attitude were recruited to fight the evil space sorceress, Rita Repulsa," Tommy said.
Ethan paused the screen. Neither Conner nor Kira said anything.
"Kim… Billy… Trini?" Ethan asked.
"Yes, the four of us were Power Rangers. Now, watch the video," Kim laughed.
"They harnessed the power of the dinosaur to become Earth's first Power Rangers. Under the guidance of Zordon, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Jason bravely defended Earth which forced Rita to create her own Ranger," Tommy said.
"Okay, so where's Dr. O?" Kira asked.
"You'll see," Kim smiled.
They watched as they saw Tommy as the evil Green Ranger.
"Her evil magic was too strong," Tommy continued. "I couldn't fight it. She commanded me to destroy the Power Rangers, and I almost succeeded. But my friends never gave up, they helped me destroy the power sword, and I was freed. And that's when I joined the team, but not for long. I soon discovered the Green Ranger powers, were only temporary."
The screen showed Tommy becoming the White Ranger. Ethan paused it yet again.
"Again, Ethan, why?" Kira snapped.
Kira wanted to hit him.
"Cause I'm so bugging I can't even deal," Ethan said.
Conner was in shock. All of this was too much to take in. He would have never imagined Dr. Oliver being a Power Ranger.
"Our teachers are the oldest living Power Rangers," Conner said.
Billy and Trini walked in.
"Not the oldest…" Billy said.
"Just the best," added Kim.
Ethan turned back to Billy.
"Billy… Trini, why didn't you guys or Kim tell us about being Power Rangers?" he asked.
"You would have found out one way or another," Billy said.
"All right," Kira sighed. "What do you know about Tommy?"
"I know that Tommy is in trouble. And you three are the only ones that can help him," Billy said.
Kim walked up to Trini, tears in her eyes. Deep in her heart, she knew Tommy was going to be all right, but there was always this feeling of doubt within her.
"Trini, I'm really scared," Kim cried.
Kim broke down in Trini's arms.
"I can't lose him, not again," she sobbed.
"Oh, Kim, Tommy's going to be all right," Trini assured her.
Billy pulled a disc out of his pocket. He made his way to the computer.
"I think I have pretty good idea of where Tommy is. This is a security tape outside the cyber space before your gig, Kira," Billy said.
They all stood behind Billy. The tape showed Tommy being kidnapped by Zeltrax and several Tyrannodrones. Kim put her hand over her mouth and gasped.
"I'm going to kill that Zeltrax," she said.
"Why didn't he just morph?" Conner asked. "I mean he's a Power Ranger."
"Was, Conner, not anymore," Kim noted.
The video started to play again.
"A new villain, Lord Zedd, was destroying Earth, and with three Rangers leaving, a new power source had to be found. Trini, Zack, and Jason passed on their powers, and the three new Rangers stepped forward. And just in time cause Rita and Zedd had teamed up to form our most powerful enemy yet. Bringing with them a new terror, Rito. The new team fought bravely, but it wasn't enough. Rito destroyed our zords. A Ranger never gives up. Zordon sent us to find Ninjor, a warrior from the past who showed us the secrets of the ancient ninja. Our quest complete, we gained new weapons, new zords, and new enemies. But along with new enemies, came new friends. When Kimberly chose to leave, Katherine was the only choice," Tommy said.
"Don't you mean my choice?" Kim said underneath her breath.
She had not seen the completed video until now. They continued to watch other past Rangers.
"If anything happens to me, these three are to protect Earth," Tommy finished. The screen showed a picture of Kira, Ethan, and Conner. "You're in good hands."
Conner looked down.
"He really trusts us," he said.
Kim nodded and smiled.
"He does," she said.
