Just for the sake of not confussing thoughts with dialogue I'm going to use "" for dialogue and () for thoughts on non POVs
Some years later [AU: I don't like how they don't give us a timeline so for the sake of storytelling lets say it's been 2 years since Tommy's escape]
Tommy steps out of his jeep smiling as he takes a look at his new workplace; Reefside High. (Well, ten years away and some things still don't change) Tommy thought as he took a look as the students on the campus grounds.
Tommy POV
Well here it goes, first day of teaching lets see what's in store for me. "Alright class settle down my name is Dr. Thomas Oliver and I'll be your science professor this year" I can tell they all are so excited to see me. "Are there any questions?" Well let's see just a quick glance and I can already tell who's who. He's a jock, she's a cheerleader, computer geek, another jock, that one is picking his nose, angsty musician,
"Dr. Oliver?" Tommy nodded at the mention of his name as his attention shift to the girl who called out to him
"Cassidy, Cassidy Cornell Dr. Oliver as you may know blah blah blah blah…" Oh for the love of Zordon what did I got myself into she just keeps talking. Guess my torture is not one sided the class seems to agree with my on this one.
"Well you don't look all enough to be a teacher" and that's it I think it's time to go into teacher mode in here.
As Cassidy motions to her news partner Devin to bring out his camera, Tommy politely says "Cassidy I can assure you I'm old enough now if we can please just settle down and lets talk about you guys and what you expect yourselves of this class".
A big "Ugh" was heard from the class (Oh good one Tommy you lost them again, this might not be so easy as I thought) . As Tommy looked around the room, he noticed a chair was empty (That's odd I thought this class was supposed to be full)
"Is someone missing?" Shocker no reply
Meanwhile, outside of the campus on the soccer field, a red clad teenager was doing training excersises on the field alongside another teenager in clad in protective gear
Conner's POV
Here we go time to put this new move to test. Come on Conner just like we practiced kick one two UP! Kick and he didn't even move
"Oh come on! You're supposed to at least try and stop it. What type of goalie just stands there?" Maybe I shouldn't be so mean I can tell he's about to pee himself.
"We shouldn't be here Conner the bell already rang and it's the first day we can get into serious trouble" Oh not this again
"Will you relax, if anybody asks just say that the coach told us to do extra drills and that we were late" Seriously as if that excuse has ever failed me.
"But dude there are rumors about that new principal they say she used to work on a prison or something. I don't think that would work on her. " seriously I need to get better friends.
"will you relax about Randall, she's probably gonna be like every other principal strict for like the first two weeks and then grow to hate her job besides" okay why is flinging his arms like crazy
"She's standing right behind me isn't she?" one nod is all it took okay time to use that famous McKnight charm. Oh great she's not amused at all
"Principal Randall nice to meet you I'm Conner McKnight captain of the soccer team" That line never fails.
"I can assure Mr. Mcknight the feeling is not mutual" Ouch! Right on the pride okay we can spin this.
"I'm sure you're wondering why we're practicing instead of being in class and there's an excellent explanation for that" Ready for the get out of jail free card "You see we have an important game against Blue Bay Harbor in a couple weeks and Coach Vallerte wanted us to do some extra drills and we just lost track of time" wait for it.
"I see well I didn't know coach Vallerte was so devoted to his team captain as he's been gone on a family emergency since 2 weeks ago, but of course you already knew that didn't you" Oh great the one time I needed this to work
"To class now and Mr. McKnight expect detention after classes have ended" Great way to start the year Conner Dad and Grandpa would be so proud
Dictator Randall walks me and Sean back to class and the day goes by as any other day in the life of Conner McKnight; barely paying attention in class, new teachers struggling to try to make their classes entertaining, cheerleaders throwing themselves at me, nerds being nerds, and emo kids being well emo and just when I think I'll be able to escape my torment…
"Mr. Mcknight I hope you haven't forgotten about detention" Of course the dictator has to be following me during recess.
"No Principal Randall I haven't forgotten I was just putting my soccer gear in my trunk before heading to the detention room" I can see she's smiling at my torment god one day and I already hate this woman.
"I want to know
Know where you're at
I'm at the front
But baby you're still at the back
Oh, can you tell me where it's at
I gotta know
Know where you're at
I'm all alone waiting for you to ask
Oh, can you tell me where
Tell me where it's at"
"What's that horrible sound?" Oh I recognize that voice, this is so not gonna end well.
"Freak you out freak you out freak you out…" I hear miss punk rock princess Kira Ford finish playing her song freak you out for what I think is the million time since I've known her seriously she needs to come up with new material.
People start clapping until they see female darth vader approaching. What? Even athletes can watch Star Wars you know. "Ms. Ford I'm afraid you need a permit to perform in school grounds." Oh please as if you feel at all sorry you're loving this. "Are you aware that kids that play an instrument have 50% higher chance of getting into college?" huh? Well if that's true I guess it wouldn't kill me to start practicing guitar again. "Well you're hardly college material" wow, okay I'm pretty sure that could get her fired and I guess my opinion is not unique as wannabe Avril has the same look on her face.
"Now let's go Ms. Ford detention" oh great I have to spend time with the one person that I absolutely cannot stand in this world.
Suddenly, the sprinklers start going off *whack* did she just hit me in the head with her guitar? "I'm so sorry I swear it wasn't on purpose" oh no don't worry I know it wasn't on purpose hitting me with a guitar is mild in comparison with all the other things I've had to go through thanks to you. "Ethan James" Mr. Roboto guy? What does he has to do with… oh I see gotta give him points on style though I thought nerds were supposed to be smart you're making it to obvious dude.
Moments later inside of Reefside High
Kira's POV
Well it's a good thing my guitar wasn't damaged. Mental note kick Ethan James after this whole thing is over. Seriously does this woman ever shut up we get it we're in detention. "For the entire week" wait what now? "Principal Randall I have band rehearsal with my band after classes this week" I can tell she isn't interested at all and then waterboy says something about computer club; is that even a thing? And of course, Reefside's high superstar and the guy spearheading the we-hate-Kira-Ford club Conner McKnight makes up an excuse about soccer rehearsals "I don't care" wow cold hearted much?
Pow* "Ouch did you just kicked me?" Oh it was so worth it. Good thing I waited until randall was out of hearing range. Call me crazy but I think I just heard the jockboy laughing too though when I turned around he was already gone.
More classes go by until it's finally time for detention. I reunite with Conner and Ethan on the hallway as I see Principal Randal and Dr. Oliver approaching I guess he's the one who was unlucky enough to have detention duty. "So do you kids like museums?" Guess it doesn't take much to get a paleontology degree.
To say the drive to the museum was awkward would be an understatement, seriously nobody talked for 30 minutes and nobody bothered on turning on the radio. We all stepped out of the jeep and walked to the front door a closed sign clearly on the front of it. "Oh well no museum for us" you don't say jockboy. "tell you what why don't you three look around if you find anything prehistoric I'll get you out of detention for the rest of the week" sounds good to me and from what I can see so does to them.
As we walk by Ethan is talking about some urban legend of a guy and a sinkhole or something and leave it to Conner McKnight to take a boring conversation and somehow make it worse. "Me? I go out with my friends you know teammates, cheerleaders, and yeah cheerleaders"
"Ugh pig" oops guess must've thought that one out loud. I expected him to say something mean back but all he did was smile at me rather mischievously and walked away.
"Hey I'm just trying to warn you guys don't come crying when you…Woah!" holy karma did he fall into a oh and here we go too "Aah!"
Ethan's POV
Well, I think that's the world telling me that I talk too much. Then again watching the king of jocks and Ms. Kicks McGee fall down a sinkhole will always be entertaining.
Now how do we get out of here? Well definitely not climbing I mean who will stupid enough to try to "You guys stay here I'm going to climb up and get help" I thought too soon. * thud* I think I found something even funnier than watching them fall on a sinkhole thank you Conner.
"Back already?" We help the idiot up and we start walking through the dim lit cave. Kira starts singing her song again. I gotta admit she doesn't sound bad and could actually make it if she makes the right career moves.
"Hey wannabe could you please be quiet I'm trying to think here" woah is it just me or was that extra mean.
"Hey listen Conner, my name is Kira; Kira stop pretending like you don't know it" okay things are starting to escalate if only I had popcorn.
"Oh I know your name trust me it's hard to forget someone that manages to all alone ruin your life" wait what? The king of jocks and the queen of music had a history? Man this is like the plot of an RPG just like in real life.
Whatever happened between must've been serious because she's not saying anything else just walking with her head down.
"Hey I found something!" we quickly catch up with Conner who somehow managed to find a dinosaur's skeleton. Forget detention this is so going to ebay fortune 500 here I go. Wait why is he trying to touch it we need tools and gear and *clank * why
do jocks have to ruin everything?
Suddenly, one of the cave walls starts moving upwards revealing a hidden door.
Holy Nintendo this is like the mothership of my dreams right here. "I can do a sick music video in here" forget your music this is my fantasy. "This must be like the mothership for you dude" oh sweet merciful Sony now I'm agreeing with the jock I need to get them out of my new home.
"woah" we both turn around to see Conner about to grab a red glowing stone. "wait what are you doing?" yeah don't you know rule number 1 glowy no touchy. "Look I already missed a day of soccer practice this is prehistoric therefore no detention" Okay fine that wasn't so stupid of a statement. "And it pains to agree with him but I already missed a day of band rehearsal and I'd rather not miss another one" god fine lets the stones.
We each grabbed one me taking the blue one, Conner taking the red one and Kira the yellow one something seems awfully familiar about this but nevertheless the look cool and hey no detention for us. "Good now lets get out of here" what? Come on dude this is like paradise why do we wanna get out? "why?" see thank you Kira I knew you weren't completely evil. "Do you guys really wanna stay and find out who lives here" okay point made lets go.
Conner's POV
Alright just a few more minutes and I won't have to deal with the computer geek and lady death over here I can go back to my normal life of "ROAR!" beast like noises?
"what was that?" I heard Kira ask frightened
"Maybe it was the wind" Right genius as if the wind sounds like a feral creature. It could be a bear or a mountain lion or a bunch of reptiles with sharp sword-like claws. Wait what?
"Guys don't move" Maybe they are like sharks if you don't move they won't attack. "Great make it easier for them" well I'm not hearing good ideas from you.
"You two run I'll keep them occupied" I'm the faster and agile out of the three plus how fast can these things be? I start running at top speed although weirdly enough I feel I could go faster than this. When we get to the forest, a few of them corner me and toss me around.
"This is not how I expected the first day of class to go" As I look around I see Ethan and Kira being tossed around too. I don't know what came over me but I just couldn't bear to see them getting hurt. I could hear my dad's voice telling me (Conner it doesn't matter if you're a hero or just an ordinary guy our duty is always to help others when they are in need).
I stood up and everything started slowing down, well everything but me. I ran towards Kira and kicked some of the lizards creatures down and helped her up.
"are you alright?" she nodded her head. Her expression changed from terror to relief and then to terror again as she pointed to something behind me before screaming. Out of nowhere I'm sent flying backwards towards Ethan's group.
"What was that? I think I went deaf" I turn around to see Ethan blocking the claws of the lizards with his bare hands which are they glowing? He then beats one of more of them down.
I then turn back to Kira who is struggling against two of them. I won't make it in time. Well never say I'm not a team player. "Hey rockstar give them a little scream! Ethan get ready to pummel them" Kira nods as she screams and screeching sound starts again knocking them back to us Ethan smashes one of them down to the floor while I kick the last one down in mid air.
"Phew I knew that move was gonna be useful someday" what? Some glorification never hurt no one.
"What were those things?" Ethan asked while panting
"I don't know but better question is how did we do all that?" Kira asked trembling in fear
"Hey!" Before we could gather our thoughts we heard Dr. Oliver calling us from the distance.
"Are you all alright?" oh yeah we just fought a bunch of lizards monsters and we might be mutants but no yeah totally fine.
We all nodded our heads knowing we had to keep this a secret. "Museum still closed?" I had to change the subject somehow.
"Yeah still working out the details come on I better take you all back to the school" First good news of the day.
Back on Reefside High
"You guys know this sounds awfully familiar like a super hero origin story you know like Superman Batman or the Power-"
"Shut Up!" both me and Kira say simultaneously
"Sorry Ethan it's just not the biggest fan of them" That's an understatement but not feeling like spilling my guts to the geek.
"Oh kay weird enough but what do you suppose we do?" good question Einstein
"For the time being we lay low I think it's our best option" At least I hope
"I have a better one" she approaches me and hands me her yellow gem "forget all about me being here and move on without me" trust me if I could I would.
As she walks away * roar* oh this can't be good. Those lizard freaks drop out of nowhere and abduct Kira. Just as they arrived they departed leaving only her backpack.
"Ethan come on" I grab Ethan and drag him to the parking lot. "Hop in" we both get in my Mustang and we head out of the school grounds.
"Lets go to Dr. Oliver's" wait why? "How's a science teacher gonna help us? Seriously?
"He's a dinosaur specialist those things are like dinosaurs" flawless logic boy genius, but honestly I have nothing better than that.
After around 20 minutes of driving we finally arrived to 1992 Valencia Road. Ethan and I tried knocking on the door and no response. I opened the door which prompted a response from the resident geek. "What are you doing?" lets see trying to get help like you ask genius.
We inspect his house and I spot a miniature dinosaur statue like the one we spotted in the cave "remember what happened last time" oh yeah as if that could happen again. "relax he's a science teacher not-" * clank* "Batman" no way this teacher might be an evil scientist.
We make ourselves downstairs and we wind up in the same room as before "if you're looking for extra credit you're in the wrong place" we turn around to see Dr. Oliver staring us down. Something tells me things are about to get weirder.
