"How do you think they knew?" Jeanie asked.

They were just sitting, still on the swamp's bank, recovering from their ordeal.

"No idea," David said. "Trev?"

He shook his head. "I don't know. But you know what this means…"

"Pleance knows where we are," Jay finished in a grim voice.

"But…" Eva frowned. "Dayton froze time, remember? So Pleance should be frozen as well."

"Oh!" Jeanie groaned as she realised the truth. "It was another test!"

Ris' face went dark. "Stupid Centaur."

"Hey!" Trev glared at her. "I saved your life!"

"Jay and Jeanie pulled me out."

"I gave you the kiss of life!"

Everyone paused at that. Then Jeanie burst out laughing. "Oh god, Trev! I never thought I'd hear you say that!"

For some reason, everyone else found it funny as well. Soon, they were all rolling on the ground, laughing until tears came to their eyes. They laughed with the mad relief of those who'd just cheated death and were tasting the sweet air of life once more. Sure, the reaction was delayed, but better late then never.

Finally, David managed to gasp out; "that was beyond stupid."

"Beyond," Jeanie agreed with a wide grin.

"I think," Trev said, lying on his back and looking at the sky, "that we should try get a move on."

"Anyone got a not ruined watch?" David asked.

"Trev was the only one wearing one." Jay replied.

"Okay." David tiredly pushed himself to his feet. Even with their Ranger powers, they were all exhausted. "So we're running on guess time then. Let's go team."

"Don't want to," Ris groaned. "I'm tired, my tummy hurts from laughing too much and I'm covered in muck."

"That's nothing compared to the destruction of the earth," Jeanie pointed out.

"Still don't want to."

"Okay," Jay said in a cheerful voice, and picked up her, carrying her fireman style.

"Jay!" She squealed and thumped his back ineffectively.

Laughing, Eva and Trev got up as well. "Got the way Trev?" David asked, grinning and ignoring Ris' demands for Jay to put her down.

"Yeah. Let's hope the map wasn't ruined." He dug his hand into his pocket and pulled it out. Amazingly enough, the map was spotless, even though some sludge had spilled out of Trev's pockets as he'd pulled it out.

"Stupid Centaur," Jeanie said, mimicking Ris.

Ris stuck her tongue out at her.

Unfolding the parchment, Trev frowned. "What's the matter?" David asked him.

"The map's changed."

"How?" Eva looked over his shoulder at it. "Hey, it's clearer now."

"Waddaya mean?" Jay asked.

"According to this," Trev replied. "We take five hundred steps that way," he pointed in the direction the map indicated, "and we're there."

"Cool," Jay said. "So, what're we waiting for? Ris is heavy, you know."

"Hey!" In retaliation for that comment, she slammed her joined fists into the small of his back. He grunted in reply.

"Let's go," David said. "Lead the way Trev."

"498…499…500. We're here!" Trev called out.

The others fanned out on either side of him, Jay finally letting a less than happy Ris down. "Uh…here where?" Jay asked finally. "I don't see any zords."

Gazing at the trees before them, Trev had little choice but to agree. "Okay. Now what?"

"What does the map say?" David asked.

"That we're here!" Trev jabbed at it. "That the bloody zords are supposed to be here! Where the hell are they?"

"Whoa, Trev," Jeanie said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down. Take a breath before you bust a gut or something."

He did as she suggested, and closed his eyes as well. "Sorry. Guess I just got a bit frustrated there."

"I think we're all feeling a little frustrated," Eva said in a sympathetic voice. "How suspicious was this horse dude?"

"Half-horse," Ris corrected with just a hint of a smile. "Stupid suspicious half-horse."

"I gotta say," Trev looked at her. "I agree with you."

"Looks like we're stuck," David frowned at the thought.

"Hey…" Jeanie snapped her fingers. "Remember what Dayton said about Trev being the only one able to get the Zords. I think he means Trev's the only one with the power to do so! As in, he's got to access his special power to do it."

"I what?" Trev said.

"Got to find your special power," Eva repeated. "Yeah, that totally makes sense."

"Guess it's time to meditate again," David said with a sympathetic smile.

They settled round a large tree, with Trev bracing his back against its trunk. He closed his eyes, and dropped his head slightly. After a while, Eva looked around the circle they'd formed. "Do we have to be quiet while he's doing this?" She whispered.

Jeanie grinned. "Nah." She said. "Trev can go into a meditation trance like that," she clicked her fingers.

"Sensei Watanabe's big about this sort of thing," Jay said. "Trev was doing it while we were playing with action figures."

David rolled his eyes. "He only says that 'cause he's jealous. It took him forever to learn how to go into a meditative trance."

"Yeah, Mr. Hyperactivity," Ris said with a grin.

"Hey!" He looked a bit put out. "It's not my fault I had HD."

"So…all that sugar you ate behind your mum's back had nothing to do with it?" Jeanie said in a sly voice and had David and Ris cracking up with a memory.

"That was bad," David said as Jay went red. "Once, he got so hyper, he decided to take off all his – "

"Tell her and I'll tell her about the Barbie dolls." Jay said in a dangerous voice.

David immediately clammed up. "What?" Eva asked. "What about the Barbie dolls?"

David glared at his cousins. They didn't say a word. "Is no one going to tell me?" No answer. "Great." She huffed out a breath and crossed her arms. "Guess that's another secret you're keeping from me."

"Hell yeah," David muttered, shifting uncomfortably.

"Hey," Ris said suddenly, poking Trev. "How long he's been out?"

"No idea. I haven't got a watch." David said. "Stop poking him Ris. You'll ruin his concentration."

"But it's boring waiting." She flopped onto her back to stare at the sky through the leaves. "Hey Eva."

"Yeah?"

"When're we going to meet your family?" Everyone looked at her.

"Yeah," Jay said. "You've met most of ours. When're you going to be returning the favour?"

"Never if possible." Eva said. "They're insane."

Jeanie grinned. "So's ours. What's your point?"

Eva shrugged. "Don't really have one I suppose. It's just that…I don't know. My mum's a bit of a hippy. My dad's always moving from job to job. And my brothers…"

"You have brothers?" Jay interrupted.

"Yeah." She sighed. "One older, two younger. And my cousin lives with us too. He's my age. They're always ganging up on me."

"So what?" Jeanie asked with a grin. "My brothers used to sit on me to shut me up."

"Once Tim – that's the youngest – stuffed tissues down one of my bras and walked around in it. When my friends were over."

Her friends stared at her for a moment, stunned. Then Jay fell back in a laughing fit. "Oh my…he…oh god! If I had an older sister…" he said, finally sitting up with a huge grin on his face. "I would have so done that!"

"So what if you family's a bit –" Eva slanted David a look, "– okay, a lot embarrassing. What family isn't? We're not gonna be scared off by them, don't worry. We know how to deal with embarrassment."

"And insanity?" Eva asked in a biting voice.

"Hello?" Ris said. "Half-alien here? How more insane can you get?"

"Not much more, I guess," Eva admitted. "I don't know. I guess I'm so used to pretending my family don't exist…"

"Hey…you can't hide them forever." David said with a grin.

"I suppose." She smiled. "All right. I'll introduce you to them." Then she grimaced. "But don't expect me to let you hang out with them."

"Depends." Jeanie said. "Is the older one cute?"

Eva stared at her, half scandalised. Ris stared at her, eyes wide. "But what about Tr–?"

"Shut up Ris," Jeanie said hurriedly and glared at her cousin.

Eva grinned, her good humour restored. "Something you want to hide from a certain someone, Jeanie?"

"Shut up," she repeated as David and Jay laughed.

"If you guys are finished jawing," Trev's voice broke in. "I think I've figured it out."

"You know your power?" Ris asked eagerly.

"No," he sighed. "Not yet. But I think I know how to access it."

"How?" David asked eying him.

"Same way I access my ninja power. I think I just have to go a little deeper."

"And how are you going to do that?" Jeanie asked.

"I don't know. But I have to try. We're running out of time." He stood up and everyone followed suit.

"All right Trev," David waved a hand, indicating he step in front of them. "It's your show."

"Stand back guys," Trev warned as he put cupped one hand and held up with first two fingers. "I have no idea what could happen."

"Good idea," Jay said, hurriedly stepped back a few feet. Everyone joined him.

They watched as Trev closed his eyes in concentration. His brows furrowed and he frowned as he delved past his ninja powers. Deeper, deeper within the crevices of his soul until…suddenly, his eyes flew open and he flung his arms out, palms pointing outwards and fingers spread. His muscles strained as if they were pulling something. The earth before him rumbled and, behind him, his team mates yelled in fear and warning. But he still stood there, like he couldn't hear them.

Suddenly, there was a huge crack! that sent Trevor flying backwards, into his friends. They landed in a pile, with Trevor at the top. "Ow, ow, ow!"

This came from Ris, who was under Trev. "Sorry," he apologized, quickly getting up and helping her up. Eva was lying slightly on top of David but more on Jeanie. She got up next, followed by David, leaving Jeanie and Jay – who'd been at the bottom of the pile – lying on the ground. "Don't touch me," Jeanie groaned when Trev held out a hand to help her up. "I think my bones are broken."

"Hey!" Eva said, slightly insulted. "I'm not that heavy!"

Jay grinned at her as he slowly sat up. "Are you so sure about that?"

"Guys, no more heavy weight cracks, okay," David butt in before it could escalate. "Now, Trev, what the hell did you just do then?"

"No idea," Trev said. "I found it, I'm sure of it. I found my power but I still don't know what it is. All I knew was that I had to think 'Bring me the Zords' and let it flow out of me and that's it."

"Holy crap!" Ris squeaked, cutting short Trev's explanation. "That wasn't there before!"

They all looked at her; at her stunned expression, then tracked their eyes to where she was pointing. It was kind of hard to miss; a huge cave mouth stood before them, where it had definitely not stood before.

Eva touched Trev and knew. "Your power. It's Relocation."

"Uh…what?" He asked, staring at her.

Jeanie was staring at her as well. "How the hell do you know that?"

She shrugged and grinned at them. "It's my Power. It's like visions, or something. I touch something or someone and know what's happened to it or them a few hours before. Dayton calls it Knowledge."

"Cool," Jay said finally. Everyone nodded their agreement.

"Very cool," Ris added.

"We'd better head in there," David said, looking at the cave mouth.

"Yeah," Jeanie said reluctantly. "We'd better."

"I sure as hell wish one of you was a light ninja," Eva said, looking at the very dark entrance.

Jay smirked. "Scared of a little dark?"

"Only when it's caves," Eva countered. "You?"

His smirk bloomed into a grin. "Especially if it's caves," he joked.

"Let's go," David called, already at the cave entrance. "We've got a city to save."

"Bet you he's always wanted to say that," Jay muttered as they joined him.

A/N: Again, mostly chat. This is what the story mostly seems to be made of. But there's some action to come in later chapters. And Trev's got his 'special power'! That's probably the one good thing that came out of this chapter.
