Author's Note: Just a quick update to keep things moving ahead. I have got to get Tommy out of that suit. LOL
"What can I get for you?" Trent asked as he approached the table in the cyberspace where Kat was sitting.
"I'll have a soda and a moment of your time if it's possible," Kat replied.
"I don't go on break for another fifteen minutes," he told her.
"Don't worry, I'll wait," Kat said as he went to place her order.
"Hello Kat," Hayley said as she approached the table.
"Hi Hayley, business seems to be really booming around here," Kat responded.
"Yeah, it is and I'm so glad to have Trent back at work," Hayley replied.
"Yeah, he seems like a good kid and great worker," Kat told her.
"I couldn't help but notice the two of you seem to know each other," Hayley commented.
"That's probably because we've been seeing a lot of each other, I'm working with his father now so I'm at their house quite a bit," Kat explained.
"Oh, well I'd love to stay and chat but I should get back to work," Hayley told her as she left.
"So, what's up?" Trent asked as he sat down.
"I need you to get some information for me from Tommy's lab," Kat answered.
"I thought you already had access to all the computer files," Trent replied.
"Well, apparently the files I'm looking for aren't on the computer, so Tommy obviously has them stored somewhere else in paper form," Kat told him.
"And you want me to look around and see if I can find them?" he questioned.
"Yes, I've written down all the details of what you should look out for," she said as she handed him a piece of paper.
"I'll see what I can do, I need to get back to work," he said as he stood up.
"I look forward to hearing from you," she called as she laid some money on her table and left.
Later, that afternoon, Kat walked into I.D. headquarters.
"Hey Glenn, got a sec?" Kat asked.
"I always have a sec to spare for you," he replied.
"I'm afraid I have another favor to ask of you," she told him.
"Is this the kind of favor that I have to keep secret from Will?" he asked.
"No, you'll be glad to know I came clean to Will about everything and he now approves of what I'm doing," Kat told him.
"That's good to hear, cause I gotta tell you, I've never been that great at keeping secrets, so what is it that you need," Glenn asked.
"I need to analyze this and see if there's anyway you can fix it so I can't determine where I end up the next time I use it," she said as she handed him her old communicator.
"What is this exactly?" he asked.
"It's a communicator, the one I used when I was a power ranger," she replied.
"I'm honored that you would trust me enough to let me dissect it," he said.
"Hopefully, you won't have to do much dissecting at all, I'm expecting some files that may be able to give you clue as to how their programmed and how we can duplicate them," she told him.
"You want me to recreate a power ranger's communicator?" he questioned.
"Actually, I'm going to need two," she replied.
"Agent Hillard, there's a phone call for you," another agent said as he stuck his head in the doorway.
"I'll get back to you when I have those files," Kat said as she went to her station and picked up the phone.
"Where have you been, I've been trying to call your cell phone all morning," Will's voice said as he came on the line.
"Sorry, I must have forgotten to charge it, what's up," Kat replied.
"Zeltrax is back, and this time he's made a clone of the White Ranger, at first the other rangers thought it was Trent but then Trent showed up to help them fight it alone with this monster called Terrorsaurus, the rangers are headed back to the lab and I forgot my laptop, so I'm heading back to the office," Will informed her.
"Ok, well I'll just log onto to my computer and find out what's happening," Kat replied as she hung up the phone and logged into her computer.
"Dr. O, how could Zeltrax have an evil White Ranger?" Ethan asked.
"It's only a cloned energy source, not a living thing, but it's still a major threat," Tommy told them.
"So what can we do to stop it?" Conner asked.
"You guys just stay put until I get back, I think I may know of something that can help us, but I'm going to need Trent to come with me," Tommy replied.
"Will, don't come to the office, I need you to head to the woods near Tommy's house, he's taking Trent with him on some kind of mission," Kat said as he phoned Will.
"Actually, I wasn't coming back to the office, I changed my mind at the last minute, I'm only a few miles away from Tommy's house, so I'll see what their up to," Will replied.
"Ok and if you can, try and get Trent alone, he's supposed to have those files for me," Kat said.
Will searched the woods until he came to the edge of the lake where he spotted the Black and White rangers and learned that they were looking for an ancient artifact that was hidden somewhere nearby.
"Trent, I need to use your chameleon powers along with mine to retrieve the artifact from the water," Tommy explained.
"Let's do it," Trent told him as they retrieved the Shield of Triumph.
"In order for the shield to work, each of you must give a piece of yourselves to Conner," Tommy explained once he and Trent had reached them.
"Ok, but this is only a loan," Ethan states as both he and Kira give their powers to Conner and are left demorphed. Conner then became the Triassic Ranger and proceeded to become the Triassic Ranger.
"You did a good thing back there," Will told Trent. He had followed Trent from Tommy's house back to the cyberspace.
"Let me guess, you're here after the files," Trent replied.
"Did you get them?" Will asked.
"Yeah, I got them, what does Kat want them for anyway," Trent said.
"You'll just have to wait and see," Will said as he took the files and headed back to I.D.
A few days later, Kat again sat in the Cyberspace which was quickly becoming a habit.
"You're beginning to become a regular here," Will said as he sat down beside her.
"I can't help it, I guess this place sort of reminds me of the Youth Center where Tommy and I hung out at teenagers," Kat replied.
"It's also a good way to keep an eye on our little spy," Will said referring to Trent.
"I don't think we have to worry about that, he stands to lose a lot if his secrets are revealed," Kat told him.
"So Mr. Cole, what can I get for you?" Trent asked.
"Just a glass of water, and if you can call her Kat, you can me Will," he replied.
"Trent, you gotta a sec?" Kira asked as she came up to them.
"Sorry Kira, but I'm a little busy here without Hayley to help," Trent told her.
"Someone sure looks bummed today, what's the matter did you find out you're not the next Hillary Duff," Cassidy said as she spotted Kira sitting at a computer.
"Since no one else is willing to listen, I might as well tell you, a record producer wants to sign me to his label and do a video of one of my songs," Kira explained only to see that Cassidy wasn't paying attention.
"Do you mind if I use this computer, I have something important to do," Cassidy replied.
"I wonder what's up with her." Kat asked as she watched Kira leaving.
"I don't know but there's a lot going on at the lab right now," Will told her as he listened in to the rangers.
"Dude, what are you doing?" Conner asked Ethan as he took a break from helping Hayley.
"I'm searching the web for my soul mate," Ethan told her.
"If you needed help finding a girl, you should have just asked," Conner replied.
"Hey, what do you guys think of this one? She's single- attractive both inside and out, believes she was Cleopatra in another life, and loves to paint portraits of snakes," Ethan said as he read one of his matches.
"That makes sense historically," Tommy commented.
"Sounds like a perfect match," Conner replied.
"Hey guys, in order to get this Assault Vehicle working I'm going to need you to go to Mercer Industries and pick up the titanium servo mechanism I ordered," Hayley informed them.
"Funny isn't, Hayley ordering a part from the Anton's company when she doesn't even realize that he's the one their fighting," Will commented.
"Yeah well let's hope they don't find out before we've found the evidence we need," Kat remarked.
Kira goes to the lab to show everyone the video she made at Tone Records. Everyone is shocked by how different she looks and sounds and no one wants to tell her what they really think.
"So, is anyone going to me what you think?" Kira asked.
"I will," Conner replied.
"Conner!" Tommy, Hayley and Ethan yelled as they glare at him.
"It's just not you," Conner replied.
"Yeah, I think you're right, I'm not going to sign with a label that won't let me be myself," Kira told them as the alarms went off.
"Looks like Zeltrax is back with a new aerial assault vehicle," Hayley informs them.
"Finally some action, I was getting tired of just sitting here," Will said as he and Kat learned of the attack.
"Let's get going then, maybe we can get there before they do," Kat remarked.
Conner once again morphs into the Triassic Ranger and Tommy faces Zeltrax alone inside craft.
"I can't stand not knowing what happening," Kat said as she Will watched from down below.
"I'm sure Tommy will be just fine," Will told her as parts of the craft begin to explode.
"Why isn't he coming out?" Kat asked growing concerned.
"Kat, watch out!" Will yelled as the entire ship exploded.
"Tommy, no!" Kat screamed as Will quickly covered her mouth to keep them from being discovered.
Once the smoke cleared, Tommy appeared unharmed and informed the other rangers that Zeltrax is gone.
Later that day, everyone except for Tommy is at the cyberspace where the boys are helping Kira to make a new video.
"Now this really brings back memories of high school," Kat commented to Will.
"Don't tell me you shot a music video," Will said.
"Not me, it was for Tanya, like Kira she got offered a record deal but she chose to stay and fulfill her duties as a ranger," Kat explained.
"Do you ever regret giving up your powers?" Will asked her.
"I didn't use to, I mean going to the Royal Dance Academy was like a dream come true and I never would have been able to go if I had still been a ranger but watching these kids it just sort of brings it all back," Kat replied.
"Not to mention the fact that Tommy is a ranger again," Will said.
"Yeah, I just hope Hayley can figure out a way to get him out of his ranger suit," Kat replied.
