Hey, still trying to get used to uploading here on fanfiction. What do you guys think so far? I don't really know the PRDT characters very well; their personalities here are just what I picked up from other stories. Oh, and don't be surprised if there are a lot of references or reminders of other Kim/Tommy stories here on fanfiction. I've been really inspired by all the other stories. )

Once again, I own nothing.


Chapter Two

"Don't mind the four ailing teenagers," said Tommy as he walked into the lab. "Get up, you guys. Greet our guests." Trent, Kira, Conner, and Ethan all groaned simultaneously as they tried to stand up. Zack and Billy smiled as they looked at the four teens. "Guys, this Zack—original black, and Billy—original blue. Where are—"

"We're here," Jason cut Tommy off. He looked at the four teens. "I'm Jason and this is Kimberly," he nodded towards Kim beside him.

Three of the teens looked at the older rangers incredulously. All their pains and injuries were forgotten. Trent had a look of confusion on his face at Jason and Kim. "That's original red and pink!" exclaimed Kira, seeing Trent. "And they're black and blue!"

"And Dr. O's the original green, right? And white, too!" added Ethan. "It's like an original ranger reunion in here! Great to meet you guys!" Ethan extended his hand to the former rangers. They all shook it as Jason looked to Tommy with his eyebrow raised.

Tommy rolled his eyes at the teens' antics and introduced them. "These are the Dino Rangers. Conner—red. Ethan—blue. Kira—yellow. And Trent—white." He pointed to each of them.

"So you're the red ranger?" asked Jason playfully as he stepped in front of Conner. Conner nodded and smiled as he extended his hand. Jason glanced at it and smiled, patting Conner's shoulder as he did before the moon mission with then-rookie, Cole. Conner looked confused as he turned to extend his hand to Kimberly.

"Don't mind him," she said as she shook his hand. She put her arm through Jason's. "He likes to tease the newbies."

Tommy noticed the closeness between Jason and Kim. 'They were always so close, though. Jason wouldn't do that. He's like her brother,' thought Tommy. 'Maybe he was the guy she left me for.'

"Hello…earth to Tommy." Billy waved his hand in front of Tommy's face. Tommy looked at Billy. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I was just…remembering…" Tommy answered as his gaze went back to Kim. Billy followed his gaze and comprehension dawned on his face.

"Ah, the letter, I'm guessing? You two are adults now. You both have the ability to act civilized with each other, as demonstrated earlier. It's in the past." Tommy nodded. "And if you ever get around to telling us what's going on, I'm sure you'll need her help." Billy smiled.

"I get the hint." Tommy smiled. "And thanks." He turned to the rest of the group. "Alright, guys." He made himself be heard over the chatter in the room. "Now that we've all met, I want to tell Kim, Zack, and Billy what I've already told Jason."

"Wait," interrupted Conner. "I thought that video diary thing said that there was a yellow? Where's she? The original yellow."

A look of sadness passed over the faces of the former rangers. Kira elbowed Conner in the stomach. She didn't want them to get upset, but she was also wondering about the original yellow.

"She was in a car accident," answered Tommy softly. "Didn't survive." A chorus "I'm sorry's" erupted from the kids. Tommy waved his hand. "It's okay, you guys didn't know." Tommy turned back to his old friends. He hesitated a bit before continuing. "Guys, if you don't—"

"No, we do." This time Kimberly interrupted him. "Trini would've wanted us to help. She would've wanted to help herself." The other former rangers nodded. "So tell us what's going on."

Tommy gave her a long look. He didn't want to push them into fighting without the complete original team. She raised her eyebrows. "Okay. I called Jason because we need your help. All of your help. I assumed that he was going to call the red rangers like I did when we went to the moon, but this is better." Tommy smiled at Zack, Kim, and Billy. "Mesagog is basically our Rita, Zedd; our evil guy. In the last few battles that we've had, he's nearly succeeded in killing us. This morning's battle was one of the worst. His power has grown as well as the power of his followers. And he's teamed up with some unknown people who are also extremely powerful."

"Unknown people?" asked Zack.

"Well, I highly doubt that they are actual people, but Mesagog has teamed up with some other evil guys who are equally if not more powerful. And we don't know who they are. They haven't exactly shown themselves to us."

"The new bad guys?" asked Kim.

Tommy nodded. "And we need your guys' help in defeating them. And finding them."

"But our powers…we don't have any," said Kim. "We gave up our power coins. How are we going to help if we don't have powers?"

"I could answer that," said Billy. Kim stared at him. "Yes, in words that you'll understand." She smiled. It was at times like these when they really needed Trini. She was the only one who really understood him. "Originally, Tommy called Jason to help, thinking that he'll call the other red rangers as he did for the mission on the moon. But instead, Jason called us to help."

"That still doesn't explain…"

"I'm a little confused by that, too, Billy," said Tommy.

"I'm getting there," answered Billy. "Kim, our power coins were destroyed. But not our ninjetti powers. Those will always be with us. You're still the Crane and I'm still the Wolf." Billy glanced at Tommy. "And Tommy's still the Falcon." Billy looked at Conner and Ethan arguing amongst themselves. He continued talking, "As for Zack and Jason; they never gave up their power coins. It still has power, albeit very little. I would assume that they would only have a limited number of morphs within it. So they would need some sort of power source to be strong to sustain the power emitted from the coins. That's how Jason was able to morph on the moon."

"And since Tommy is the current black Dino ranger, he is doubly powerful now," added Jason with a smirk. "I knew you couldn't resist not having the power for too long. But a new color, Tommy? Come on!"

"Black Dino Ranger?" asked Zack. "That's my color, man! You trying to take all the colors for yourself? What, your wardrobe's not big enough?" he added jokingly.

"I think it's harder trying to keep up with your colors than it is the new ranger teams."

Kimberly, Billy, Zack, Jason, Kira, Trent, Conner, and Ethan were laughing.

"Who told?" asked Tommy.

Conner looked away, embarrassed. "How was I supposed to know you didn't want them to know?" he asked sheepishly. Tommy rolled his eyes.

"Anyway," Tommy continued, "We have to find Mesagog and his new allies. And now a new power source for Zack and Jason. Maybe that power source will be beneficial to Kim and Billy too."
