Tommy watched as Kim packed their bags. He looked back at his phone and began scrolling through his phonebook. He paused at Carter's name. This was it; his only hope was that they all agreed. He heard the ringing then finally Carter answered his phone.
"Carter Grayson." Carter said in lieu of a hello.
"Carter, it's me Tommy. I have a mission for you." He said as Kim smiled while still packing their bags. He sounded so nervous about asking all the Reds to take this mission.
"I'm in." Carter said on the other end.
"You haven't even heard what's going on," Tommy said with a smile. "I may want you to kill someone." Carter's willingness t let them power up the zord." Tommy told him as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Sounds great, where do I need to meet you?" Carter asked him.
"At the hanger." Tommy said.
"Okay I can pick up the newest Red on my way in," Carter informed him. "I believe his name is Cole and he is on the Wild Force team him."
"Yes I think that that's his name and it would be great if you could pick him up. It's a Reds only mission." Tommy stated as Kim cleared her throat. "Sorry there is one Pink that is coming." Tommy said with a glare at her back.
"So Kim was there when you got the call, right?" Carter asked with a laugh.
"You guessed it, but we need to get everyone to the hanger so you might want to leave now." He said as Carter said okay and they hung up
"You know I could knock you out and do this mission without you." Kim said walking over to him.
"Yea you could but you don't know where the hanger is." Tommy pointed out as Kim sat in his lap.
"Oh I think that I can get Andros to tell me. I think he is a little scared of me." She said as she weaved her arms around his neck.
"Everyone is scared of you, well everyone but Trini. Now we have to get on the road and I have several more Reds to call." He said as she kissed his cheek and got up. He grabbed their bags and walked beside her to his Jeep. He threw the bags in the back and jumped in the passenger seat. Since he was going to be calling people, he didn't want to drive and explain everything he had too.
"Uh did you forget that I don't know where we are going?" Kim pointed out as she got in behind the wheel.
"I'll give you directions. First head back to Angel Grove." He said as he pulled out his phone and started calling the other Reds. He got Leo on the first ring and he agreed to meet at the hanger. T.J. was next and he promised that he would be there as soon as possible. Then Tommy called Wes and the Time Force Ranger was all in agreement and said that he would bring Eric with him. He said that he wasn't technically a Red but his suit was mostly red. Tommy paused on Rocky's name. He wanted the ape man there but he was worried about his back. Rocky hadn't been in the suit since he had hurt his back before the Turbo mission.
"Are you going to call Rocky?" Kim asked interrupting his thoughts. How she could read him, he had no idea.
"I'm not sure, I mean I want to but I'm worried about his back," Tommy said looking over at her. "I know that it is fine now, but one wrong move and he could throw it out again."
"I know but he would be hurt if you didn't ask him," She pointed out. "Plus, he also has the Ninjetti powers to protect him." A few years ago, Billy had found a way to restore their animal spirits. He said that if the Earth was attacked again that everyone needed some power to use. Jason, Trini, and Zack had their original powers; the Ninjetti's had theirs except for Kat. She and the other Zeo had their Zeonizers. Everyone had at least had one power to use. Tommy was thankful for that now.
"I know Kim but what if he gets hurt? I would know that it's my fault." He said resting his head back against the seat.
"You need to call him otherwise you will never hear the end of it. Rocky is smart enough to know if his body can take it." She told him.
"Yeah you're right. Oh and turn right at the next light." He said as he brought back up Rocky's number and hit send. His next worry was calling Jason on his honeymoon. He really didn't want to incur the wrath of Trini. The phone rang for what seemed like forever when Rocky finally answered.
"Tommy, my man are you coming over today for some serious guy bonding? Aisha and the other girls are hitting the mall." Rocky said.
"No, not today, Rocko," he said. "I have a mission and you can say no if you want too."
"Well what is it?" Rocky asked.
"It's a Reds only mission," Tommy told him. "The last remaining generals of the Machine Empire have found Serpentra on the moon; Andros called and wanted me to assemble a team."
Kim smiled as she knew that Rocky would say yes because he was a Power Ranger and could never say no to a fight.
"I'm so there. Are we meeting at the hanger?" He asked as he walked through his house to find his morpher. He could be at the hanger in a matter of minutes.
"Yea, I'm on my way there now. Carter, Cole, Eric, Wes, Leo, T.J., and Andros are already on their way." Tommy said as Kim turned right at the light. She noticed that they were close to where the Command Center once was. She turned to look at Tommy and saw his smile. He would pay for not telling her later. Apparently everyone knew where it was besides her. She never thought that she would have any reason to go back there.
"Are you going to call Jason?" Rocky asked Tommy; bringing him back to his conversation.
"Not sure since he is on his honeymoon." Tommy said which caused Kim to smile. Jason would flip if Tommy didn't call him even if he was on his honeymoon.
"Well I will let you do whatever and see you in a few minutes." Rocky said as Tommy hung up the phone.
"So this hanger, is built where the Command Center once stood." She said turning off onto a gravel road that led to the Command Center.
"Yea. Andros thought that it would be better if we had a private hanger for the Megaship hidden in the hill." He said with a laugh.
"Good idea, now quit stalling and call Jason," she said. "He will be hurt if you don't call him; in fact, he may not even have his phone on so you can leave a message, that way, he will just be mad at himself and not at you." She slowed down, as they were getting close and she didn't want to miss the turn-off.
"You may be right; hopefully he will have his phone off." Tommy said as he hit 4 on his speed dial. He counted the rings before Jason's voicemail picked up. Thankfully he didn't answer the phone. Tommy left him a hurried message and then hung up the phone. He then turned his phone off so that Jason couldn't call him back.
"Turning your phone off won't help." Kim pointed out as she pulled up outside the hanger. She saw that there were no cars there yet.
"Okay Andros should be here with the ship so if you want to go in and meet with him that's fine. I think I will wait for everyone out here." He said as they climbed out.
"Well that would be fine but I need to show you something else I found. Hello Kim." Andros said as the hanger door opened to reveal the Red Space Ranger.
"Hi Andros, I see that married life agrees with you." She said as she walked over to hug him. He and Ashley had been married a little over a year now.
"Yes it does but don't tell my wife about this mission. She thinks that I am here working on the ship." He said as Kim started laughing. Apparently none of the girls were to know about this mission.
"I won't, but she is smarter than you are giving her credit for," Kim said, laughter still in her voice. "Now, since you need to show Tommy something, let's go inside."
Andros nodded and led them into the hanger and into the ship. Kim wandered the ship as Tommy followed Andros. She had been on the ship a few times. Ashley had had her bridal shower on the ship for the ranger girls. The ship had actually been in space then and all the girls had been teleported up to it. Not much had changed on the ship, she could tell. Getting closer to the bridge she could Tommy and Andros talking. They were discussing how to approach the moon without the generals seeing them. She stood in front of the door and leaned against it. It made her excited to see the old Tommy coming back out. She had missed the ranger Tommy more than she had ever thought she would. Finally Tommy and Andros noticed that she was at the door.
"Kim what do you think about the upgrades?" Andros asked her with a smile.
"Since I think the ship looks the same, I am guessing that they are computer upgrades." Kim said with a smile and walked over to them.
"Yea they are but the living quarters were also updated. Ashley has been redecorating the ship one room at a time." He said walking past her to greet the others as they came in.
"So what have you decided?" She asked Tommy.
"We are going to try and sneak in and hope that it works." He said with a smile.
"I'm sure it will but I hear the others so you might want to join Andros outside." She said as he leaned down and kissed her before walking out to join Andros.

"Man this is so awesome. I can't believe that you were all Red Rangers." Cole said as he tried to stand still. He had never seen any of the rangers before and it was exciting. He knew all the rangers though because he felt that it was his duty as the Red Ranger to know all the rangers that had came before him.
"Yea all of us but Eric here, he is not actually a Red Ranger but he wanted to come." Wes said as the others smiled. They knew what he was talking about. They all wanted to be on this mission because Tommy had asked them.
"So where are Andros and Tommy? I thought that they were supposed to be here." Rocky said as everyone looked around.
"What? The Tommy Oliver is going on this mission? He is like the living legend." Cole said, now almost jumping up and down. T.J., Carter, and Rocky all started laughing. Carter didn't tell Cole that Tommy was leading this mission because it would have been a long car ride if he did.
"I don't know about living legend but yes I am on this mission." Tommy said from behind them.
"Tommy, you cut your hair?" T.J. asked. It had been too long since he had seen the former ranger.
"Yea a while ago but are we ready to get this show on the road?" He asked them.
"Wait isn't there one more Red coming?" Cole asked as he looked around for Jason.
"I left him a message but apparently he couldn't get away." Tommy said as they turned toward the ship. They heard a motorcycle pull up and all turned to see who it was.
"You didn't think that you could do this without the Original Red Ranger, did you?" Jason asked as everyone gathered around him as he removed his helmet.
"I'm glad you could make it." Tommy said as he smiled. He felt better about this mission now that he had his best friend on it. He thought about Kim waiting in the ship and knew that everyone else would be shocked to see her here with him. He couldn't wait to see their faces when they saw her.
"Okay well we need to get this mission on the road." Andros said as they all got in the ship and made their way to the bridge. Cole was dragging behind as he paused to look at everything on the ship. He finally caught up with them when he ran into Carter's back. Looking up he saw that all of the rangers except for Tommy and Andros were stopped at the door. He peeked around them and saw the Original Pink Ranger standing by the screens with her hands on her hips. This petite woman was who almost all the former rangers were scared of; she didn't look like she would hurt a fly let alone a teammate. They must've been teasing him when they told him of her.

"What are you doing here?" Jason asked Kim was they settled down and waited to the ship to take off.
"I should be asking you the same thing. Shouldn't you be with your wife?" Kim asked him as he winced.
"Yea well I hope that we get back before she noticed I'm gone." He said looking a little worried.
"Where does she think you are at?" Kim asked him as the others all listened in.
"The movies, she was at the spa for the day and wanted me to go to the movies." He said as Tommy and Kim laughed. The others just looked at them like they were crazy.
"Okay we will try to get you back before your terror of a wife knows you're gone." Andros said which caused everyone to laugh once again. The tension was suddenly gone with their laughter. This was going to be a great mission.

"Aisha, did you call Kim? You know she loves the mall." Kat said as they said down in the food court.
"I tried but she didn't answer; I guess I should've tried her cell, but who knows she may already be here." She said as she grabbed her pizza. It was the best pizza and one reason that she loved shopping so much.
"No I called her cell and she didn't answer," Tanya told them. "I wonder where that girl is."
"Who knows?" Aisha shrugged. "Hey, does anyone else think that she and our fearless leader are back together? I watched them at the wedding and they were mighty close."
"Oh yes I know," Kat exclaimed. "But with those two, you never know what to think; I mean, they have been doing this dance for years."
"I know," Tanya nodded.
"Personally, I think that they are just scared to try again." Kat said.
"I agree with you there Kat," Aisha said.
"Me, too," Tanya said. "Although, who would've ever thought that those two would be afraid to date each other?"
"Definitely not I," Aisha shook her head.
"They have been working towards being back together," Tanya added. "They just have to take that step."
"How can we make them take that leap though?" Aisha asked her. She was slightly frustrated as she seriously wanted her best friends happy again and she knew that being back with each other would do that. "We need a plan."
Kat and Tanya nodded in agreement and all three got back to their shopping; the plan would get started on when they got back home.
