DISCLAIMER

Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the plot, subplots, and characters you don't recognize. I got the name "Tempestra" from the TMNT ep "Leonardo Vs. Tempestra" but I don't remember who owns that.

In the Command Center, the alarms blared shrilly and the viewing globe immediately switched over to show Jason in the cave.

"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!" Alpha exclaimed as he watched the Red Ranger futilely trying to escape the onslaught of water.

"Contact the other Rangers at once," Zordon instructed and the robot did as he was told. Hearing the summons, Billy answered his communicator.

"Billy here," he reported.

"Report to the Command Center immediately," their mentor commanded and the Blue and Brown Rangers teleported out of the lab. When they landed in the Command Center, they saw that their fellow Rangers except for Jason were already there.

"Where's Jason?" Katherine wondered.

"Behold the Viewing Globe," Zordon responded and they turned around to see an image of Jason in the cave. Jason looked around frantically as the water-which was already covering his ankles-continued to rise.

"Man, I wished my communicator worked in here!" they heard him say. The water sloshed around and continued to move upwards.

"We've got to get him out of there!" Katherine gasped. Just then, the alarm blared again.

"Great. What now?" Zack wondered. The globe switched scenes to show a woman with flowing red hair wearing a white dress in downtown Angel Grove. Through the viewing globe she saw her cause waters all over Angel grove to rise with a wave of her hand.

"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi! Tempestra!" Alpha exclaimed.

"Who's Tempestra?" Aisha wondered.

"An old friend of Rita's. She has the power to control the elements and must be the one who's causing the water levels to increase," Zordon answered. Then, "My apologies Billy. If I had sensed her sooner, Jason and I would not have had you gather that sample of water."

"There's no need for apologies, Zordon. I must confess I was at a loss as to just how I was going to test the water's abnormal increase," Billy responded.

"How are we gonna get Jason out of there?" Rocky wondered.

"One or more of you will have to rescue him," Zordon answered.

"I'll go," Katherine blurted out. Everyone turned to stare at her in shock.

"Katherine, are you sure? That place is filled with water," Rocky reminded her.

"I-I know. But that's why I have to do it," Katherine insisted.

"I understand," Trini said. "And I'll go with you," she continued.

"Fine. And the rest of us will take care of Tempestra," Tommy said. Then, "It's morphing time! Drago-Tigerzord!"

"Raptor!"

"Drago!"

"Stega!"

"Brachio!"

"Mastodon!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Saber-toothed Tiger!" Once morphed, the Brown and Yellow Rangers landed at the cave, pulled out their weapons, and headed for the cave's entrance. The Yellow Ranger struck at the beams with her Power Daggers and instantly the bars disappeared. Hearing a cough, they rushed forward through the water-which was up to their waists-to find the Power Ranger leader completely drenched, coughing, and desperately trying to get out of the water's path.

"Come on, Jason! We've got you!" the Yellow Ranger assured as she and the Brown Ranger reached him. Then they quickly swam towards the entrance. Once they were out of the cave, Jason coughed and tried get his breath back.

"Take it easy. Deep breaths," the Brown Ranger encouraged. He did as she suggested and after several minutes was able to breath normally again.

"Let's not do that again," he rasped.

"I hear that. Once is enough," the Brown Ranger agreed. Just then, their communicators went off.

"We're here, Zordon," the Yellow Ranger reported.

"The other Rangers need your help in battling Tempestra," Zordon told them.

"Jason, can you fight?" the Yellow Ranger asked.

"Count on it. I've got a score to settle with her," Jason declared, his eyes flashing. "It's morphing time! Tyrannosaurus!" Once he was morphed, they teleported to the battlefield. Rita and Zedd put their staffs together.

"Make Tempestra grow!" they chorused. Electricity flowed from the two staffs and hit Tempestra, causing her to increase in size. The woman laughed evilly and created a strong wind, knocking the Rangers down.
