Chapter Three-The Resurfaced Evil

"Where on Earth have you been?" Kimberly asked almost hysterically. The six cousins looked at each other. Kimberly didn't know how ironic it was that she had said 'where on earth were you?'.

"Nowhere." Jason muttered. And most of that was true. Sure they had been in Angel Grove for a little bit. But most of the time, they hadn't even been on earth.

"Excuse me. What did you just say?"

"Nothing." Jason said in a louder voice, and in complete honesty.

"Now why don't I believe you?"

"Calm down mom." Ann said. "Did you bother to ask anyone if they had seen us? We were in the house. We told Aunt Trini we were going in there."

"Oh." Kimberly said. "I should have asked, but I just noticed you were missing. What were you doing in there?"

"I was showing Kimmie and Kaylie my old flower girl dress."

"Then how did the boys end up in there with you?"

"We were in my room." David answered. "Ted wanted to see my yearbook. And Jason came with, because he had been playing basketball with us."

Ted and Jason nodded their heads in agreement.

Kimberly sighed, looking at each of the six children closely. "Fine. But next time, tell me where you're going so that you don't give me a heart attack." Then she smiled suddenly.

"Sure mom." Ann said. After Kimberly had walked away, the six cousins gathered in a circle and started talking amongst themselves.

"Wow, and I thought my mom was paranoid." Kaylie said.

"I guess it comes with being a power ranger." David said.

"You mean that's what we have to look forward to after are time as rangers is done?" Kaylie asked.

"Well if you think she's bad, you should see our dad." Ann said.

"Yeah." Agreed Jason. "He is so suspicious of everyone and everything. He acts so weird when we go to public places all together."

"Well you know, if anyone knew that he was a ranger before, then he would kind of stick out. I mean, it's not every day you see a guy walking around with five kids." Ted pointed out. "Especially if they all look like him."

"Hey guys." Came a voice from behind them. "Where have you been? Mom was going crazy."

Willie had walked up behind them. Had he heard what they were talking about? And if he had, would he say something?

"Oh, hey Willie." Ann said quickly. "We were just upstairs, and we already ran into mom."

"And you're still alive? Wow, you must have had a really good explanation. She was ready to kill all of you before. I heard her talking to dad."

"Speaking of dad…" David said. Tommy had just spotted them and was walking over.

"Well, I guess I'll see you guys later." He looked at Tommy's face as he got closer. "Then again, maybe not." And Willie rushed off.

"Hi dad!" Ann said over-enthusiastically, also seeing her father's face. "So, what's up?"

"What's up?" Tommy repeated. "What's up is that the six of you decided to disappear without telling anyone."

"We did not." Ann contradicted. "We were upstairs the whole time. Besides, we already talked to mom. And seeing as we're still alive, she believed us."

"You're a little late with the lecture dad." Jason added. "Mom already gave us one."

"And we promise never to go into our own house again, without your permission." David said.

Tommy's face lightened up a little bit. "Well, if your mother already talked to you, then I guess you really were upstairs. But why didn't you answer when I called for you?"

"Oh, come on Uncle Tommy." Kimmie said suddenly. "You know how loud Ann plays her music. You live with her."

Tommy looked at her intently for a minute. "You're right. She does play her music pretty loud." Then he turned and walked away.

"Seriously." Kaylie said turning to three the five people around her. "Your parents have problems."

"You think that was bad?" Ann said shuddering. "You should see what happens when they don't believe us. On second thought, you probably don't want to."

"Hey Tommy." Jason called to his best friend. "Are you ok? You looked like you were yelling at the kids."

"It's nothing." Tommy said.

"Right. So what happened this time?"

"When was the last time you saw Kaylie before right now?"

"I don't know, about half an hour ago."

"Exactly. Kim freaked out, and got me all worked up. And it turns out, they were all upstairs the whole time."

"Seriously dude, you need to loosen up. When was the last time a monster attacked anywhere?" Jason asked his friend.

"I know." Tommy said. "But the last time a monster attacked, my kids were kidnapped, I got turned evil, and my wife died."

"Yeah, but we brought her back to life, and they all changed you back. Not to mention the fact that the twin's saved themselves. You know, now that we're talking about it now, isn't this the age the twin's were when they went back?"

"You're right, it was. Wow, it's been that long?"

"It has been." Jason confirmed. "It would actually be more like in a few months that they would have gone, but still, it seems like yesterday."

"I know what you mean."

"Hey guys." Kimberly said walking over. "What are you talking about?"

"This is about the same age the twins were when they came back, thirteen years ago. Remember that?"

"How could I forget?" Kim asked her husband. "It was a few days before Trini and Billy got married in this backyard."

"Yeah." Jason agreed.

"So." Jason continued, changing the subject. "Are you aware that your husband just got through yelling at those kids?"

"Why?"

"Because you said they were missing." Tommy said.

"Oh yeah. I already talked to them about it." Kim said.

"And you didn't kill them?" Jason asked.

"I had my reasons." Kim said suddenly smiling.

"What?" Tommy asked her.

Kimberly just kept smiling. "Look at their wrists."

Jason and Tommy looked over at Ann, David, Ted, Jason, Kaylie, and Kimmie.

"What about their wrists?" Jason asked.

"Look at what's on them." Kim answered.

Jason gasped. "Are those?"

"Yep. Those are communicators."

"They are the power rangers?" Tommy said. "Do you think that's where they were?"

"That's exactly where I think they were." Kimberly said.

"Ooh, I wonder what their colors are." Jason said.

"We'll know soon enough." Kim said. "They'll start wearing them soon enough."

"You know what the problem with them being power rangers is though?" Tommy asked suddenly. Kim and Jason just stared at them. "It means that Scarlette is probably back."

Kim gasped. "Not her. She can't be back, can she."

"She can." Tommy said. "We never actually defeated her. She just disappeared. No one knew what happened to her."

"What are we going to do about it?" Kim asked.

"Nothing." Jason said. "It's their battle now. They are the power rangers now. It's their job to rid the world of the evil that try's to conquer it."

"So, what do we tell them."

"I don't think we can tell them anything." Jason said.

"But what about Kat, Trini, Billy, Adam, and Tanya? Do we tell them anything?"

"No." Tommy said. "We aren't even supposed to know about it."

The three veteran rangers stared at their children. They hoped that they would be all right. It was hard being a power ranger, and they didn't know if the kid's could handle it.

"Well." Said Kim. "No matter what, I'll be there to support them all the way. Even if they don't know it."

"So will we." Jason said indicating himself and Tommy, who nodded his agreement. "No matter what, they will have someone to turn too, if something goes wrong."

Elsewhere-At the Same Time

So, there are power rangers on Earth once more. They will not be able to defeat me this time. I have come back stronger and more powerful than ever before, I cannot be defeated. But once and for all, I need to destroy any trace of the crane. Then, I can make my move on the falcon, and he will be mine.

Soon, I will make my move. And then, they will all be sorry.
