Chapter Eleven: Dragon Tears

Angel Grove 10 years earlier

She dodged left, the blow came hard into her face sending her reeling backwards. She landed hard on her back; the other kids laughed her attacker smiled. "What's wrong pretty pink, big sis not here to help you now is she" Christina slowly rose to her feet and wiped the blood coming from her lip off. Her attacker…no more like tormentor laughed at her, no matter what Christina did, Kelly was older, bigger and meaner then her. And that allowed her to pick on the younger kids. Christina sighed lightly, it also didn't matter that her older sister was teaching her karate as well her boyfriend who Christina sorta liked but there was something about the older boy that made her shiver when he was near her.

Kelly pushed the younger girl back onto her bottom, this time mounting her and proceeded to as they say lay waste to her face, Christina tried to block as many as the punches as she could but most of the damage was already done. Kelly laughed as she punched Christina more and more in the face that was until she was ripped off the girl by the school's resource officer. Some of Christina's friends who arrived with the police officer helped her up and carried her to the school nurse.

The nurse dabbed a cotton ball over her left eye, it was swollen and cut. Christina grimaced as the peroxide soaked ball touched her face. "You we're lucky today young lady, Kelly Clarkson could have knocked you out if it had not been for your friends going to get the SRO" Christina sighed lightly, if it was one thing she learned is that she didn't have friends, she had people who semi-cared for her, friends would have helped protect her from Kelly…friends like her sister had, friends like Aisha, Rocky, Adam, Billy and even her sister's boyfriend Tommy. Christina swore to herself that day, from that day forward no more losing fights, no older girls beating up on her and her friends. No more tears.

Angel Grove Mountain Trails

Now, 2 weeks ago

The sounds of Ozzy Osborne's No More Tears blared out of the jeeps stereo system, the woman behind the wheel sang along with the song. The jeep bounced over rocks and other debris on the trail. She learned it's location after talking it out of her sister last year at the Olympic trials. She didn't know what to find or expect up here. All she knew was this area was where her sister spent her last three years of high school at.

Christina stopped the jeep and stood up; her sister did not give her the direct location more or less a 100 meters off the right location. Chris sighed and flopped back into the driver's seat and pulled out a map out of the glove box, looking it over she figured she was right on top of where it was located. Getting out of the jeep, Chris began to survey around where she was at, kicking over rocks here and there, digging into the ground in a few spots.

She stood up and wiped the light sweat from her forehead "God I forgot how much I hated the California sun" she told her self out loud. After living for 4 years in France with her mother and stepfather, they had moved back to the US, but not back to California. Her mother wanted something new after her second divorce, so they moved to New York where her mother worked at the local art center, Chris now entering high school at the time. Kim visited them when she could but it wasn't often, Chris knew how dedicated she was to gymnastics it was the same with Chris expect Chris focused herself more into martial arts and kickboxing then gymnastics like her sister. Most at her high school called her a tomboy among other names, granted each of the girls who called her names behind her back slightly learned the hard way of her determination to be better then what she was and that got her expelled on multiple occasions.

Chris sighed and sat down on the ground leaning against a set of rock, she closed her eyes for a second. The ground suddenly started to shake and quake. She jumped to her feet but as soon as she did, she was locked into place feet unable to move. The ground cracked and quaked more as it gave way under her feet sending her falling downward spiraling towards the unknown. Finally after falling for what seemed like ages she hit the ground with a hard thud, she felt the shoulder crack and pop out of place. The pain shot though her arm as she struggled to stand up. Thankfully for her she was able to roll the shoulder back into its socket, after the painful ordeal of doing so; she looked around and was amazed at where she was. She had found it, it was abandoned but she found it never the less. Chris smiled and moved down towards a door…

Now

Jason stared at Tommy with a raised eyebrow as he let his words roll though his head "What do you mean someone stole the green power coin" He asked his friend "it was destroyed with your power as the green ranger….wasn't it" Tommy shook his head lightly "When Zordon and Alpha brought me down to the secret chamber to become the White Ranger they took both morpher and coin and placed it in a box, Alpha sat it on a pedestal and it was left there" Tommy rummaged in his pocket and produced the slightly charred green ranger morpher and handed it to Jason.

Jason looked at the morpher and noticed right away it was coin less "could it have been lost when the Command Center became the Power Chamber" Jason asked as he handed back the morpher to Tommy "Nope, Myself and Zordon has some discussions about it when I was still Zeo Ranger Five, he assured me that even though the green ranger power was gone the coin still there and had energy left in it from when Rita had it" Jason sighed and looked out the duel mirror again. Tommy followed his gaze out it. "Who ever has the coin could be a serious threat to this world…if I still had the Dino Thunder Ranger powers I would begin searching for who ever has it" Jason nodded and crossed his arms.

"What if I told you that we might have to warn the current rangers about this threat" Jason turned and asked Tommy. The former green ranger chuckled and smiled "Would love too, if I knew where they…" he was cut off as Jason pointed outward towards the juice bar, Tommy shook his head "No…we ain't that lucky" Jason laughed "Come on man, look at them, you know as well as I do what being a ranger does to the wardrobe" Jason ruffled Tommy's out shirt some, hell even he still wore Red clothing. Tommy sighed and smiled "Well seems we may have too" Jason nodded and exited the office followed by Tommy.

Command Center

Wales sprinted into the living quarter's area of the command center, Voldron sat peacefully with his eyes closed mediating… or at least he was trying to until Wales ran in panting. He looked up at his assistant "What is it Wales" the older Eltarian sucked in some air and stood up more "Sir an urgent message from Eltar, your presence is required immediately" Voldron stood up "We can not leave Earth now" Wales sighed "Sire they are not giving you a choice, its either return now….or lose the throne"

Voldron stood there in awe, so his departure had been finally noticed, he sighed deeply and nodded "Very well Wales, power down everything but the transporter" Wales moved out of the room and began to do as he was told…he pondered telling the rangers but he did not have time to tell them. He exited the quarters and headed for the transporter leaving it on for the Rangers to use it in order to come to the Command Center. Wales joined him finally and activated the machine, Voldron closed his eyes and he and Wales disappeared just as they had appeared on earth in a flash of bright light.
