Tommy awoke the next day with a stiff pain in his neck. He had fallen asleep at his desk. He had stayed up late trying to figure out what Mesogog's plan was. Why was he taking the Rangers out one by one? Nothing in his Ranger past compared to this. Tommy rubbed his eyes, straightened his glasses, and got up to start the day. After he had showered and got dressed Tommy went into Sam's room. He looked down at his sleeping daughter. She looked like such an angel lying there. He hate to wake her, but he had to. "Sam honey, it's time to get up or we'll be late for school." Sam opened her eyes and smiled up at his. "Yes daddy. I will be down in a minute." Tommy closed the door behind him as he left her room. The relationship that he had shared with his daughter now was not the same as it had been. Tommy smiled as he thought about what it felt like to find out about Sam. She meant everything to him; he loved her with his heart and soul. A tear came to his eye as he thought of what could have been if he had married Kim and they had become a family. Tommy quickly wiped the tear away as he heard footsteps on the stairs. It wouldn't do to let his daughter see him cry over spilt milk. As she came into the kitchen she said, "I'm ready to go." Tommy smiled at her and replied, "Well then lets jet." The drive to school was a pleasant one. Unlike the others Sam seemed extremely happy about something. Then it dawned on him that school was letting out early today. Instead of the bell ringing at 3 o'clock it was to ring at 11:30. Once they got to school Tommy looked around for Trent and Conner. When he didn't find them he began to worry. It wasn't like them to be late, at least not for his class. Praying to God that they were just stuck in traffic Tommy entered the school and went to set up his first class. When the bell rang to begin class Tommy's stomach dropped. The only person sitting in the Ranger row was Sam. Tommy tried to concentrate on the class, but found that he couldn't teach today. So he just put on a movie and sat at his desk. When had Mesogog gotten to them? He shook his head in disgust and looked around the room. When his eyes met with Sam's he saw something in them or yet he didn't see something in them. He didn't see any alarm, surprise, or worry. From the look in her eyes it was as if she had known about this. Tommy shook his head again; his daughter had nothing to do with this. Tommy dismissed the class as the bell rang and continued with his day. After school Tommy checked with the office and found that Trent and Conner didn't show up late. He sighed and made his way back to his classroom. On the way back he saw Sam walking down the empty halls by herself. Tommy walked up behind her and said, "Hey Sam didn't you notice Trent and Conner's absence?" "Oh yeah I noticed." The way she said it made a shiver run down his spine. It was like she didn't care. "Where do you think they are?" The second after the question had been asked Sam whipped around and threw him telekinetically against the lockers. "Hell if I know." He then saw his daughter call one of Mesogog's portals and step into it, laughing evilly the entire time. Tommy was so shocked that he could even get up from the ground. Sam was evil?!
That felt good, Sam thought as she stepped out of the portal. Soon she would deliver the message for her dear old daddy to meet her in the field. From there she would take her dad down and complete the mission. Once she put the Black Ranger into the holding chamber the sequence would be complete. Then the power sucking cocoons would suck what power was left and then the cocoons would implode on themselves. Killing who ever was inside them. It was really a perfect plan and Sam was proud to be a part of it. She sat in the lab waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The moment came when the surveillance computer began to beep. Sam then sent the note to her dad's desk. Only a few more minutes, Sam thought as she looked at the screen to see the look on her dad's face. Sam laughed out loud; she had never seen him move that fast. When her dad disappeared from the screen Sam got up and teleported to the open field behind their house. To ease her dad's feeling she brought the chamber with the other Rangers in it. Sam brought it more out of a wish to torment her dad. When he arrived Sam smiled sweetly at him and said, "Hello Tommy." She laughed when he balled his hands into fists and replied, "What are you doing Sam?"
"Why I believe I do what my master tells me."
"Sam fight the evil, I know you can do it."
"Ha, oh you poor thing, I'm so evil that the only way to stop me is to kill me."
Sam then attacked hard and fast knocking Tommy flat on his back. "Oh and by the way, that was for slapping me on New Year's Eve." Tommy flipped up and they began to battle. Sam attacked him with a tornado kick; which, to her annoyance, he blocked. The entire fight was pretty boring. Since Tommy had taught her most everything she knew he knew how to block it. Every hit she made he blocked and every hit he made she blocked. Sam didn't really care; he was older than her and would tire out quicker. She could already see beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "That all you got old man." Sam said as she tried to make him angry enough to make a mistake. When he faltered Sam hit him squarely in the chest. Sam laughed as he went down and said, "You are nothing but a has-been. Why don't you just give up?" To her surprise Tommy jumped up and they began to circle each other. Sam was getting really tired of this so she called upon Saba to help her.
Tommy's eyes widened as they fell on Saba. Sam was going to use his old sword to kill him. Just as he was thinking that he couldn't go on with this a voice in the back of his mind said this monster is not our daughter. As they circled each other Tommy agreed with the voice. This person wasn't his daughter. His daughter was kind and loving; she would never hurt her friends. With the renewed strength Tommy attacked the girl with a whole new outlook. Evil Sam was so surprised by the attack that she faltered and dropped Saba. Tommy smiled as the fight began to look up. He saw the perfect chance to attack when Sam dropped down to take his legs out Tommy flipped over her and hit the base of her neck; temporarily knocking her out. Tommy knelt by Sam and picked Saba up. As he sat there the voice in the back of his head started again. This isn't our daughter. You need to destroy this monster. Tommy knew that the voice was right, but he didn't think that he could do it. She had said earlier that the only way to stop her was to kill her. After a few more minutes Tommy decided what to do. He held Saba over Sam stomach and said, "I love you Samantha. Forgive me." With that he plunged Saba into her stomach killing her. Before she died she said, "I didn't think you would have it in you Oliver."
