The Dragon Elders and Ms. Shoutfire sat in a conference room looking out the window. The sky was becoming dark and low with threating black clouds and the wind was picking up, howling, crying, warning, like a wolf howling at the moon. A strike of zig-zagged blue lighting appeared in the sky as the leaves were dancing in the wind in all directions. "This is quite a storm," Tomas said walking over to the window. He watched as the icy grey sky grumbled. The clouds were struggling to hold the heavy rain inside them. "I've never seen a storm like this before."

A green tall dragon with walked over to the window. "It will be over before you know it," said the green dragon. He stared out the window and saw sheep being blown through the air. The clouds soon started to burst from all the rain they were holding.

"Astor," Tomas began as he continued to look outside the window as a rain stared to pour down with a roar. "Sheep are being blown through the air. I think this will be a really bad storm."


Tommy tossed and turned in his sleep until he heard a clap of thunder. He immediately woke up with sweat running down his face. It was just a dream he was having. There wasn't ugly looking monster about to hurt him and Kimberly. His heart began to pound when he noticed Kimberly wasn't lying next to him. What happened? The last he remembered was that she was asleep next to him.

He heard someone sobbing close by. Tommy walked close to edge of the basket and saw Kimberly sitting in front of the big window. At least she was safe but seemed to be scared about something. Picking the blue blanket up with his mouth, he tried to fly over to her. But, all he could do is hover and touch the ground.

Kimberly laid in front of the window with tears running down her face. She wished she knew where she was from, what happened to her parents, and how she ended up in the forest. She stared out the window watching a streak of hot blue zigzag appear in the sky. Everyone else in the nursery was sound asleep and quiet. A loud boom of rolling thunder rumbled outside. Soon the rain started again, splattering on the window, and pounded on the roof as if it was demanding to come into the dragon nursery. She started to tremble in fear. There was no way she could get back into the basket after she rolled after dreaming about monsters.

She walked over to a cotton bean bag chair and got comfortable. After getting comfortable, she looked up at the basket that her and Tommy were sleeping in. Of all nights, she needed him the most on this very night. Her nightmares, not knowing where they came from, not knowing how they ended up in the forest, wondering if they were where they came from was too much for her to take in. More than likely, she'd lay awake most of the night.

Someone walked over to her and laid next to her. They also had a blanket in their mouth and used it to cover both up. A clap of thunder roared off in a distance and a zigzagged line struck close by lighting up the room. Kimberly saw a green scaly face with chocolate eyes. Tommy was next to her. He laid down on his side and got comfortable. Before he knew it, Kimberly was laying on her side and resting her head on his neck. She smiled as his front legs wrapped around her waist. She felt safe and secure and no longer was afraid. Her eyes got heavy and she dozed off.


Meanwhile, a white ranger walked into Zedd's throne room. But, this ranger's suit looked much different compared to Tommy's. This ranger had gold bands around his wrists and his boots. However, Tommy's had at black circular strips around the top and the bottom of the gold bands. This person had green circular strips instead of black. Tommy had a gold belt, but this ranger had a green belt. Another thing that was different about the suit was that it had the green ranger's shield, but it was mostly green with just a tad of gold. The helmet looked almost identical to Tommy's. But the visor sunglasses built into the helmet were red instead of black. The helmet was based on a dragon instead of a dragon and it had three sharp points sticking up.

"Reveal your identity," Zedd requested standing up from his throne.

The white ranger removed his helmet and it was revealed to be an evil clone of Tommy that Zedd created from a strand of Tommy's hair that he found on Tommy's empty clothes, the day he turned Tommy and Kimberly into dragons. "Is that Tommy?" asked Squatt when he saw the clone's face.

"No, you fool," answered Tommy's clone. He walked over to Squat and held his sword to his throat. "I don't want to be anything like him. Nor do I want to be called Tommy-"

"-well, what do we call you, then Tommy? -"

"-I don't want to hear the name Tommy either! I am Lord Drakkon!" He said in an evil laugh. Lord Drakkon punched Squatt in the chest and blueberry juice went everywhere. Squatt flew around the room like a balloon did when it was tied to prevent the air from escaping. He landed on the floor and appeared to be flat like a pan cake. "Anyone in the mood for blue berry pie-"

"- what about blue berry muffins or blue berry muffins?" asked Babbo looking down at Squatt.

Lord Drakkon attacked Babbo and he laid down on the floor next to Squatt. "-No one interrupts me when I am talking!" shouted Lord Drakkon as he took Zedd's staff and turned Babbo into a blue berry. "Now, we have enough for blue berry pie, blue muffins, and blue berry pan cakes. I never liked those two."

"Neither did I," remarked Zedd smiling at his new warrior. This new warrior's face looked like Tommy, but his veins were showing on his face and he had green streaks in his hair. "I am sure you'll be fine addition to my team. For your first mission, I want you to attack the power rangers and claim you are Tommy Oliver. I want the rangers to think that he betrayed the power rangers."


Tomas walked into the nursery with Ms. Shoutfire to check on the baby dragons. Ms. Shoutfire walked around the nursery shining a flash light around the room smiling as she saw each dragon in a peaceful slumber. She turned the corner and he light landed on the lime green bean bag chair. Kimberly and Tommy were sound asleep in in the bean bag chair. "How did they get there?" Tomas questioned watching Ms. Shoutfire gather Kimberly and Tommy in her arms.

"I am beginning to sense that someone tried to harm them," she whispered putting them back into their basket. "Why else would they be sticking together like glue?"

"Should we tell them?" Tomas questioned.

"Not now," answered Ms. Shoutfire as they walked out of the room. "It would only scare them worse. I think it's best they can grow up and have a normal life like the other dragons. They need to go to school, learn to fly, breath fire, and defend themselves."
