Chapter 2: The Mystery

They came back to the McKnight house after the battle. Eric, surprisingly, was thinking hard. The teens looked at him.

"Man, if you think any harder, your brain will shut down" Ethan commented to him. Trent silently shook his head.

"What are you thinking about anyway" Kira asked. Eric looked at them.

"Did you guys find that necklace I was telling you guys about" he asked. They shook their heads.

"No, we only found the gem and the morpher that goes with it" Hayley said. Eric got up and paced the room.

"He can't be dead" he said. That scared the others, they thought he was still in denial.

"Why? They could have taken the body" Trent told him. Eric shook his head. He continued pacing the floor.

"No, then, they would have taken the gem and the morpher too" Eric told them. They had told him everything he needed to know.

"The gem chooses the person. They couldn't have made it work" Tommy said.

"They would have still tried to get it to work" Eric told him.

"You know, that is true" Ethan stated. Kira and Trent agreed.

"There's no logical reason, why is the gem still here" Hayley thought aloud.

"He's still out there" Eric mumbled "I can feel it".

Two days later:

The phone rang and Eric picked up. His parents couldn't believe that Conner was gone. They were still holed up in their room.

"Hello" he said. The person, Kira, began to talk really fast. Eric needed her to take a breath, but, seeing as she wasn't going to take one for a while, he interrupted.

"….Eric,Hayleysawsomethingtotallyweirdand…." She began.

"KIRA! TAKE A BREATH AND START AGAIN, SLOWLY" he yelled at her. She stopped and started slowly.

"Eric, Hayley something really weird at her café last night. She said it was a guy who looked like you or Conner" she told him. That was that was needed to send him speeding to Hayley's Cyberspace.

"Eric" Hayley greeted him. She took his arm and gently took him to the back of the shop. They went into a small shop where a tall, lanky guy was sitting.

"Conner" Eric noticed right away. The boy looked up at him and got up instantly. His clothes were so dirty that you couldn't tell what they were and his shoes were charred.

"How can you tell" Hayley asked. Eric put his face next to Conner's and Hayley instantly understood.

"Plus, a twin would know if it's his twin" he added. Eric hugged Conner.

"Eric, I want to go home" Conner mumbled through his shirt. Eric rubbed his back. He led Conner back to the house and into his room. He took the morpher from his belt and gave it to Conner.

"Here Conner, this is yours" he said. His brother denied it.

"No, you deserve it, you took control when I wasn't there" he told him. Eric sighed, he hated when his brother was stubborn like this.

"This, is yours, not mine. I've had the chance to become a Power Ranger" Eric said. He gave the gem back to Conner, who was healed right away. Then, the doorbell rang. Eric answered it.

"Eric" Hayley said as soon as he opened the door. He blinked in surprise and leaned on the doorway.

"What's up" he asked. She handed him a green gem and morpher. He denied at first.

"This is the green Dino gem. I've had it for years and it didn't choose anyone until you showed up" she explained as she thrust it into his hands. Eric was speechless.

"Uh, thanks" he said after a while. He closed the door and went back to Conner's room. He sat down next Conner in his red bed and stared at the gem and morpher.

"Dude, Hayley had a green one" Conner asked.

"Yup" he answered simply. His twin stared at him happily. After a while, Eric couldn't stand the feeling of eyes looking at him and turned his attention back to Conner.

"You're Power Ranger now" his brother told him excitedly. Eric smiled and chuckled.

"Yes, I know. I wonder what the power is" he said.

"We still need to find a red ranger" Conner stated making Eric look at him.

"What? You're the red ranger" he said.

"No, the team won't want me now that I've been dead" Conner replied.

"Dude! That's why Hayley gave the green gem. The team wants you back, I could tell it in her eyes that they want you back" Eric practically yelled.

"Sure" Conner asked.

"As sure as I can get! Kira wants you back, she says you're hot" Eric teased.

"Funny dude, let's go to Dr. O's" Conner said. They did and Eric showed them the green morpher after the reunions.
