Chapter Two:
Hidden Truth
Ten minutes later, the Dino Thunder Rangers were at the front of the cabinet by where the morphers were. Dr. O grabbed them and walked over to a chair to sit down, motioning for the three Rangers to follow his example and sit down on the couch across from him. Dr. O took a deep breath before setting the morphers on the coffee table.
"Dr. O, why do you have to them?" Connor asked.
Dr. O leaned back into his chair and began his story. "A year before the Forever Red mission, I went home to Angel Grove to visit the site where the Power Chamber once stood. I was looking through the rubble when found some old Power Ranger artifacts." Dr. O took a deep breath before he went on. "What I found in the ruins amazed me. The first thing I saw was the Green Ranger Power Coin."
Connor, Kira, and Ethan looked at Dr. O, lost for words. Dr. O pressed on. "After looking further in the spot where I found my Power Coin, I discovered a hidden trap door, so I forced the lid open and climbed inside. After a few minutes' progress, I went down the stairs and found something that amazes me even to this day."
Kira spoke up. "What did you find?"
Dr. O sighed. "I found a lab with all the Power Coins as well as the Zeo Crystal."
The three students looked at each other. "But I thought you told us that the Power Coins were destroyed by Rita and Zedd," Ethan said without thinking. To their amazement, Dr. O laughed a little.
"Yes and no, Ethan. The original Power Coins only lost their power after the Thunder Zords were destroyed -- well, at least the Power Coins that Ninjor gave us. But anyhow, I soon discovered a computer, and hoped that it would provide me with the answers I sought. And after a few minutes of typing I found it. It turns out that Zordon and Alpha 5 were experimenting with the Zeo Crystal to see if it could recharge and fix the Power Coins."
"Did it work?" wondered Connor.
Dr. O looked at him for a second before responding, "It works on only one Power Coin."
Kira then asked, "Which one?"
Tommy looked at her and smiled. "The Tyrannosaurus Power Coin was fixed and recharged."
Ethan's hand then shot up, just like if he were in a classroom. "Why didn't Zordon and Alpha finish their work?"
Dr. O sighed. "I'm not really sure but I can guess that with the chance to return to his home world, that he abandoned his work and ordered Alpha 5 to seal the lab before they left."
Connor then asked, "What happened after you found all this stuff out?"
Dr. O leaned back in his chair and answered, "I took a copy of the data and packed away the Zeo Crystal and morphers. I was about to leave when something happened that I had never expected."
The three looked worried. "What happened, Dr. O?" Kira asked.
Dr. O now had a look of fear on his face. "A government group that broke away from LightSpeed showed up, and they were there looking around the place too. They demanded that I hand over everything I found. I, of course, refused, and they began to shoot at me. Thankfully, I managed to dive for cover. As they shot at me, I pulled out my Zeo Crystal and morphed into the Red Zeo Ranger Five. Using my Zeo Blaster, I managed to get away." The three on the couch now had shocked looks on their faces, and it was a good, long minute before any of them spoke again.
"So what did you do with the morphers and the data?" Ethan asked.
Dr. O smiled. "I gave the recharged Red morpher to Jason. Then I gave the others the Zeo Crystal, as well as the morphers to their respective owners to protect them from whoever attacked me."
Kira then asked, "So that's how Jason became the Red MMPR again and you the Red Zeo?"
Tommy nodded. "You know, it's good you three found this secret out, because the Dino Thunder team just got a call form Mariner Bay asking for our help."
"What kind of help?" Connor asked.
Dr. O stood up and said, "To stop the secret government group that attacked me just to get the morphing powers for their own evil proposes." Without a second thought, the three Dino Rangers stood up.
"Were with you," Kira said.
"All the way, Dr. O," Ethan stated.
"Let's kick their butts!" said Connor.
Dr. O smiled. "Alright. I guess we're all in this," he said, then walked over to his phone.
"Who are you calling?" Kira wondered.
Dr. O looked at her, then said, "First, I need to call Trent. Then I'm calling on some old friends to give us a hand."
Chapter 2 is done, and Chapter 3 is coming soon.
