Thanks for the reviews, guys!

Again, I own nothing.

Chapter Three

"Well, I've got an idea for a power source." A woman's voice floated into the lab. Hayley stepped down into the lab. "I've found a strong surge of power from an unknown source. No idea if it's used for good or evil, but we must surely check it out," she continued.

"Hayley, this is Jason, Zack, Billy, and Kim." Tommy pointed to each of them as he said their names. Hayley looked at Kim and gave her a small smile. She could tell that Tommy still loved her, but wanted to see if Kim felt the same. She didn't know how she should act around Kim after seeing the after-effects of the letter she sent him that stuck with him all the way through college. Hayley walked around them to sit at the computer. "I'll work on locating it so you guys could use it." All of a sudden the alarms went off. "Tyrannodrones in the park!"

Tommy looked at the teens. "You guys gonna be okay?"

They nodded as they got into position to morph.

"Dino Thunder, power up! HAH!"

"White Ranger, Dino Thunder!"

The four teens morphed and left with Conner yelling over his shoulder, "We'll call you if we need help!"

"We'll know," Tommy answered. "Be careful, you guys."

Jason looked at him with disbelief. "It's hard to see you like a teacher, man. Think they could handle it?"

"I'm sure they could."

Jason nodded. "They just seem so young."

"I know. I can't believe we were that young when we started out," said Kim.

"Younger." They each smiled as they thought back to when they first got their powers.

"Hey, so what about the power coins?" asked Zack.

"Let's work on it," answered Tommy. "Hayley, keep an eye on the kids. We need to get to work on finding that power source."

Fifteen minutes later, a louder alarm erupted.

"Tommy, they need your help!" Hayley cried.

Tommy nodded. "Billy, Kim—tap into your Ninjetti powers. If you don't feel powerful enough, I don't want you guys to go out there. Jase, Zack—stay here and keep looking for that power source. Don't use your morphers, even if we get deep into trouble. We don't want your powers to be drained." They all nodded. Zack and Jason sat down alongside Hayley.

"Dino Thunder, power up!" Tommy morphed into the black ranger.

"Power of the Ninjetti! The Crane!"

"The Wolf!"

Kimberly and Billy donned their ninja suits. They both looked down at their suits, incredulous.

"Wow, it still feels the same. This is so awesome!" exclaimed Kim.

"You guys ready?" asked Tommy. Kimberly and Billy nodded. "Then let's go!"

"You guys okay?" Tommy asked the teens again. He helped Trent up. They all started fighting the tyranodrones.

"Thanks for coming, guys," said Ethan as he kicked a tyrannodrone down.

"No problem," Billy answered.

"You okay, Kira?" Kim asked.

"Never been better!" Kira answered.

"Any sight of any of the new bads?" asked Tommy.

"None," Conner answered. "Just overly powerful tyrannodrones."

Everybody resumed fighting the tyrannodrones, heading into the woods.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" Kim yelled as she chased after a tyrannodrone into the woods. More tyrannodrones followed her.

"KIM!" Tommy yelled as he saw the tyrannodrones following Kim. "KIM!" He ran after them. He had a bad feeling about this.

The tyrannodrones circled around Kimberly, jeering at her. "Get back, you freaks!" She began to fight some of them as they started closing in on her. A split second before they reached her, Kimberly disappeared. The tyrannodrones looked around, confused.

"NOO!" Tommy yelled as he watched Kimberly disappear. "KIM! KIMBERLY!" He ran to the tyrannodrones and tried to fight the rest of them off.

The other rangers heard Tommy yelling and ran to where he was in the woods, no trace of the pink Crane or tyrannodrones anywhere.

"Tommy, come on. There's nothing we could do for her here." Billy tried to pull Tommy up.

"Yeah, Dr. O, we gotta get back to your place, so we could find her," said Conner.

Tommy stood up and allowed the others to lead him from the woods to his house.

"Something seriously wrong happened," Hayley said. "I'm not seeing a trace of Kimberly anywhere."

"What?" Zack and Jason said at the same time. They both jumped up from whatever they were doing. At this moment, Tommy stumbled in with the other rangers close behind, demorphed.

"What happened, Tommy?" asked Jason. "Where's Kim? Hayley said she can't find a trace of her anywhere."

Tommy looked up at him, tears in his eyes. "I couldn't get to her. I don't even know who took her. Mesagog didn't."

"How can you be sure?" demanded Zack.

"The tyrannodrones would have left after Kim disappeared if he took her," answered Kira softly. She glanced at her teammates. They didn't know what to do; they have never seen Dr. O so out of control like this. He was usually in control of his emotions, even when he was captured.

"I couldn't save her. I couldn't get to her," Tommy kept repeating to himself.

"Hayley, Billy—keep looking for Kim. I'm gonna talk to Tommy for a bit. Kira, Trent—look for that power source. Conner, Ethan—look for information on Mesagog's new friends and who they may be." Jason took control. They all got to work right away as Jason grabbed Tommy by the arm and led him upstairs.

I know I sort of rushed Tommy responding to his feelings for Kim, but I kinda have the idea that their feelings for each other were always sort of at the surface for each other and after seeing each other it all rushed back for both of them. Any other questions, just tell me!
