Chapter 3: Old memories/ blue lovers

Ethan James, the former blue dino ranger sat at his desk inside the building of his own software company. He was not exactly in a good mood because his computer that had the work he needed to get done was having a virus. "Why do you have to this to me today? Out of all the days my computer has a virus it's the same day I have to show these reports to the heads of the board." He let out a frustrated sigh and started a virus scan on his computer to see what was causing his problem. He knew it was going to take a while so to pass the time he decided to clear out his junk draw. He looked inside and found a few old pictures that he hadn't seen in a while. One picture was a picture of Ethan with his friends and former ranger teammates Conner McKnight, red dino ranger and Kira Ford, Yellow dino ranger. The picture was from Halloween when they decided as a joke for their former science teacher and ranger mentor the legendary Dr. Thomas Oliver they decided to go as the three former power rangers that Dr. Oliver was in his ranger career. Their friend Haley helped make the costumes. Ethan went as the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, Kira was the Mighty Morphin White Ranger and Conner was the Red Zeo Ranger. Ethan remembered Dr. O was very embarrassed but honored at the same time that night and Conner kept complaining that his outfit didn't have a cool shield. He laughed at the memory and went to the next picture which was the same as before expect with Dr. O in his Superman outfit and Trent who later showed up as Dr. O's current ranger at the time Black dino ranger. Trent wanted to be white but Kira wanted it because she liked the shield and since Trent liked her he let her have the white ranger.

Ethan remembered his time at reefside was both weird and memorable. Not only did he get a lot of great friends but he also met his wife Cassidy Cordinal who was now a famous reporter. The next picture he saw was a unique one. It was picture of him with Blake Bradley and Tori Hanson. They were both blue rangers from the ninja storm team. Blake was the navy thunder ranger and Tori was the blue wind ranger. Just like Ethan their powers are gone as well. The picture was from the time after both ranger teams teamed up and celebrated by watching Blake in his motocross competition. He look at the back of the photo and it said in blue ink Forever Blue love Tori and Blake. Ethan smiled at this memory as well. Suddenly an email popped up on his computer.

"That's impossible! How could I get an email when my computer has a virus?" He clicked on the email. The message said,

Ethan James,

Your skills as a blue ranger are required. The power rangers of Aquitar have been captured and it will take the power of all the blue rangers to save them. You must meet with the others tomorrow at the NASADA Space station. Don't worry about your powers we have a machine that will be able to recharge your morpher temporarily.

Sincerely- Cestro

Ethan was shocked at this email. At first he thought it be a little ridiculous to go but he has been hoping to have some ranger action for a while. He also thought that if Dr. O got this mail he would be out of the door by now. He then grabbed his dino morpher from his drawer with the powerless dino gem still inside. He then walked out of his office and said to his secretary, "Grace, tell the board I'll be taking a personal vacation and will be back as soon as I can".

Grace was confused by this, "Um yes sir Mr. James."

Meanwhile back at blue bay harbor Blake Bradley his brother Hunter Bradley, former crimson thunder ranger, were hanging out at their apartment. Blake had returned from factory blue to take a year off from his motocross career because of an injury he sustained. It didn't take a year to recover he just decided to stay in blue bay harbor mainly because he started to finally get serious with Tori. He was pacing around the room while Hunter was sitting back and watching some That 70's show DVDs. Blake had been pacing for almost an half hour now and hunter finally had it.

Hunter got up and blocked Blake's way. He yelled, "Dude! You are driving me insane why don't you just ask her already."

Blake yelled back, "It's not that simple bro. Do you know how hard it is to ask the woman you love to marry you?"

Hunter then said, "Well if she is supposed to be "the woman you love" I figure it would be easy then."

"But what if she doesn't feel the same."

"Right… and Dustin is smarter than Einstein. Trust me Tori does feel the same way. Just take her to the beach at sunset get down on one knee and just pop the freaking question!"

Blake was sort of convinced. He was still very nervous thou. He then took a deep breath. "All right. I'm going to do it. I'm going to propose!"

Hunter then started pushing Blake out the front door. "That's the sprit bro."

Blake was outside the apartment. "Wish me luck bro."

"Good luck." Hunter then shut the door on Blake's face. When he heard Blake's footsteps go downstairs he breathed a sign of relief. He then grabbed his cell phone and dial a number. He waited for the person to answer. He then heard a voice say hello and Hunter responded, "Kelly he's finally gone you can come over now."

Meanwhile Blake rode his dirt bike to the beach as he saw Tori sitting on a rock waiting for him. She was looking gorgeous wearing a blue beach skirt and a bikini top. When Blake saw her it was like he was seeing her for the first time and he almost lost control of his bike. He then stopped and let lay on the beach. He ran up to Tori. The two blue lovers embraced each other.

Tori said, "So there is something you wanted to tell me?"

Blake then started to get really nervous again. He started wishing that Hunter was hearing hiding behind a rock or something to give moral support. He then started to speak, "Well Tor… you see… We've been together for a while now…and… I think it's time we moved to the next step of our relationship." Tori face began to light up because she knew what he was going to say. It took all of her strength to not blurt out the word "yes".

Blake continued, "So…Tori Hanson will you…" But before he could finish Cam Watanabe, former green samurai ranger ran up to Blake and Tori.

He yelled, "Blake! Tori!" Blake was furious. Cam better have pretty good damn reason why he's here!

Tori then asked, "Cam what's wrong?"

Cam answered, "You two are needed at ninja ops. It's ranger business."

This pissed Blake even more, "Now hold on a second Cam. We are not rangers anymore ok! There are other rangers to deal with monsters now. Unless it's Lothor returning again I'm not doing it."

Cam was about to yell back at Blake until Tori said, "Well, suit your self Blake. Cam lead the way."

This changed Blake's mind immediately, "All right I'll go to." They ninja streaked back to ninja ops. Blake asked, "So what is this about Cam?"

Cam began to explain, "Well apparently there are rangers that come from another planet and they need help and the only rangers who can do this mission are the bleu rangers. Now don't ask why but the person who sent me the email said only you two can do this mission and you are to meet at the NASADA space station tomorrow."

Tori and Blake were just completely dumbfounded after this explanation. Cam rolled his eyes, "You can't be serious after half of the stuff we have seen this should not be weird at all."

Tori then explained, "It's not weird it's just a lot to take in. Besides we don't even have our powers anymore."

Cam answered, "Well he also said there is a machine that can restore your morphers temporarily."

Blake then said, "All right let's do it. Hey does this mean we will see Ethan again."

Cam said, "Most likely. He's a blue ranger as well."

Tori then said, "All right well I'm going to get ready. See you tomorrow sweetie." She gave Blake a peck on the lips and left.

Blake then said, "Hey Cam about that outburst before, sorry I was just really pissed because I was about to propose to Tori."

Cam then said, "Oh. I'm sorry Blake."

Blake then said, "Hey it's cool. I guess it can wait. It's just going to be real hard to start all over."

Cam was confused, "Why."

Blake then flopped on the nearest chair and responded, "Don't even ask."
