Dillon woke sometime later and pulled his face out of his pillow only to see three sets of eyes peering at him over the edge of his bed. A pair of brown ones, a pair of plastic ones and a pair of blue ones.
"What the hell? Ziggy? What on earth are you doing?" Dillon asked looking at his friend confused.
"We came to wake you up Uncle Dillon!" Candy grinned popping up from the side of the bed. She had her hair pulled into two pigtails and wore a pair of bright pink plaid pajamas with tiny purple puppies on them and matching purple puppy slippers.
"Uncle?" Dillon asked looking at her.
She nodded, "I call Uncle Flynn and Uncle Gem and Uncle Scott Uncle….I didn't want you to feel left out." she replied.
Dillon smiled and ruffled her brown hair and turned back to Ziggy.
"So you decided to wake me up by crouching at the side of the bed with a 3 year old and pink bunny?" Dillon smirked sitting up.
"His name is Usa-Chan!" Candy said waving the pink stuffed bunny that she held in her hand at him.
Dillon looked from the girl to Ziggy for explanation.
"Gem and Gemma let her watch some Japanese Cartoon thing. One of the characters had a pink rabbit named Usa-Chan. She had that one and named it Usa-Chan." he said.
"Gotcha. Now what time is it?" he asked looking for a clock but not finding one.
"Just after 8." Ziggy replied.
"EIGHT?" Dillon replied glaring at Ziggy.
"Uh-huh! It's time for you to get you morpher Uncle Dillon." Candy replied.
Dillon sighed as everything from the previous night settled over him. Venjix was back, he was going to become a Power Ranger yet again and he was now Candy's godfather. He wished he could go back to sleep and forget everything.
However instead of laying back down he sat up and ran his hands through his hair.
"Give me 10 and I'll be down." Dillon replied.
"Alright we'll be waiting for you. C'mon sweetheart. Lets go get you dressed." Ziggy said and Candy took his hand, skipping out of the room.
Ziggy shut the door and Dillon began to get dressed. He pulled on his usual black jeans, black t-shirt and leather jacket with boots. After running his hands through his hair a few times he headed out of the room.
Waiting on the other side was Candy who was also wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt. She stood with her arms behind her back rocking back and forth on her feet which were covered with green slip ons. Her hair was pulled back in a high ponytail and the key to the watch dangled from around her neck.
"Hi Uncle Dillon." She grinned as he walked out.
"Hi." he said looking at her outfit.
"Mommy and Daddy and the others are waiting! Lets go!" she said grabbing his hand.
Smiling Dillon picked up the little girl and swung her around so she was on his back. She wrapped her arms and legs around Dillon and rode along.
"So this morning Daddy told me that you and him and Uncle Scott and Uncle Flynn and Aunt Gemma and Uncle Gem and Aunt Summer were going to be Rangers again. Why not Aunt Tenaya?" she asked as they walked.
"Because she wasn't originally a Ranger. She was just a Generation 7 Bot." Dillon replied not wanting to go into details with Candy about the side of Tenaya that all of them wanted to forget about.
"Oh." was her only reply and they desended the steps.
"Don't look now Dillon but I think you may have a wee monkey on your back." Flynn laughed as Dillon and Candy joined the others.
"I'm not a monkey!" Candy laughed and slid from Dillon's back.
"I am a female homo sapien! Not a primate! Silly Uncle Flynn." she grinned and hugged him.
"So it looks like you have a little clone." Summer smiled as she walked over to stand by Dillon.
"I noticed." he smirked.
"Ziggy told me that she insisted on dressing like you today. She wouldn't wear anything but black." Summer replied.
Dillon just smiled and watched as Candy played some sort of random game with the twins.
"Okay everyone it's time." Dr. K said as she walked into the room carrying a large silver case.
Candy moved to the side and reached for a small white lab coat that was hanging from a hook near the door. She slipped it on and moved to stand beside Dr. K, looking very much like her mother. Both stood straight with their hands folded in front of them with their feet together. It was almost scary.
Dr. K carefully opened the lid, sending a fine cloud of dust into the air.
Reaching into the case she first pulled out a Rev Morpher along with an engine cell before handing both to Candy who walked over to Ziggy and handed them to him.
"Welcome back Series Operator Green."
"Thank you sweetheart." Ziggy grinned strapping the morpher back on his wrist.
One by one Dr. K removed the morphers and handed them to each Ranger. Before long she came to Dillon.
"Welcome back Series Operator Black."
Dillon smiled and strapped the morpher to his wrist. The weight was familiar and comforting.
"So…what do you say we try these suckers out? Make sure they still work right?" Scott smiled turning the Cell Shift Morpher over in his hand.
"I cannot condone that Scott. I have ran all the necessary tests on your morphers and I can assure you that they are fully functional in every way. They are not toys to be played with whenever you feel like you should 'try them out'." Dr. K chastised.
"Oh Mommy! Please can they try them out?! I want to see them!" Candy begged looking at her mother.
"Besides Dr. K you can never be certain they're really working if we don't try them out." Summer said.
Dr. K looked between her daughter and her friend before sighing.
"Fine! But only for a moment! You are to morph, check out your special ability and then you are de-morph as soon as you have done so!" Dr. K ordered.
"YAY! MORPH! MORPH!" Candy grinned as she jumped up and down.
"Let's do this!" Gemma yelled and the Rangers hurried outside to the alley just in front of the Garage.
"Okay Candy make sure you stand back. We don't want you to get hurt when they morph." Tenaya said held Candy's hand, Dr. K holding the other, leading the girl outside.
"Because of the residual energy run off that manifests itself as an explosion behind them right?" Candy asked.
"Exactly sweetheart." Dr. K replied.
"Ooh look! They're starting." Tenaya said and pointed to the Rangers who were lining up.
"Ready?" Scott called.
"Ready!" Everyone echoed.
"RPM! GET IN GEAR!" They all yelled and a moment later all seven stood in full suit.
"Wow! That was amazing!" Candy screamed and pulled away from Tenaya and Dr. K, running over to the others.
She straight to Ziggy who picked her up.
"What do you think?" he asked.
"You look awesome Daddy!" Candy smiled.
"Wanna see something else awesome?" he asked.
"Yeah!" she grinned.
"Alright hold on kiddo." Ziggy said and adjusted Candy on his hip so he could reach his morpher.
"Ziggy Grover what on earth are you doing?!" Dr. K asked.
"Trying out my special ability! Just like you told us to!" he replied.
"Ziggy don't you dare teleport with our child in your arms! You weren't very good at it when you had to do it everyday! Who know how bad you'll be after 5 years! You-" but Dr. K didn't get to finish her sentence as Ziggy hit the button and him and Candy were gone.
"Ziggy!" Dr. K yelled.
"Yes?" Ziggy asked stepping up behind Dr. K making her jump.
"That was NOT FUNNY!" she yelled.
"We're okay Mommy! Look!" Candy said and held out her arm, waving it so that Dr. K could see it was okay.
Dr. K sighed and glared at Ziggy before turning back to the other Rangers.
Each tried their special power before unmorphing. With smiles on their faces and a renewed sense that they could do this they all headed inside.
So I didn't plan on posting two chapters tonight but once I started writing I was just on a roll!
If you noticed I changed the title of the story just slightly. Instead of 'Into' it says 'In' now. I originally had it as the title it is now because I wanted to base if off their morphing call which is 'RPM GET IN GEAR!'. I wanted it to sort of reflect it but messed it up so I fixed it :D
This will be the last chapter that i'm going to post for the weekend because I have a second story based off of SPD that I have been neglecting terribly!
Anyhow I hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for reading!
