Disclaimer: I do not own MMPRs or PRDT, if I did we would all be out fighting crime or any reference to Back to the future

TheSecondStake – The Morphing Grid back in MMPR day wasn't as advance as it was today, it's been upgraded over time to give the rangers more energy and an ability to support more rangers

I'm actually amazed at the amount of emails I'm getting saying people have added it to their watch lists and favourites, thanks guys

All parts in italics are the person on the other end of the phone


A back flip turned scissor kick from a pink blur hit right on Z target, another blur, this time black and red hit two more Z targets, the next blur was yellow, it forced two of the putties to inadvertently punch one another's Z emblems, a blue blur was ducking and diving punches and kicks, but also tapping the targets of his opponent, then the white blur had finished of his attackers and had finally stopped moving

Conner, Kira and Ethan all stood with their mouths open looking at the battle

"Their good" Conner said not tearing his eyes away

"No duh" Kira replied, giving Conner a glance.

"Rangers! Prepare to meet your doom" shouted a voice from the viewing globe, causing Kira to look back "I see the bad guys are still using old material"

"Wait, is that a Teapot monster?" Ethan stifled a laugh looking at the owner of the voice, it seem like a teapot on legs and it had a face on its body

"This Zedd guy has nothing on Mesogog; I mean come on a teapot? What's it gonna do? Make us drink tea?" complained Conner

"Young Conner, never underestimate your opponent, looks can be deceiving lord Zedd's Brewnor is a menacing foe, she is able to use her spout of doom to transport her victims to lord Zedd's dark dimension" spoke Zordon, causing Conner to look uneasily at the floor

"Sorry Zordon, we're not used to being sat on the sideline when people are in danger, we normal rush to help them" Conner explained

"Your compassion to help others in a time of need is commendable, I do not doubt you make fine power rangers, your mentor must be proud, I'm sure the power protects you, always" Zordon complimented


The fight was going well, the putties had dematerialised and Brewnor had been destroyed, and almost on cue lord Zedd had made his monster grow to large proportion

Kira was about to make a comment about another thing that never changes but was cut off by Tommy

"We need thunderzord power now" Yelled Tommy; the team took up their usual stance for summoning the megazord

"Mastodon, lion thunderzord power" Adam cried reaching toward the sky

"Pterodactyl, Firebird thunderzord power" yelled Kimberly

"Triceratops, Unicorn thunderzord power" Billy followed

"Sabre tooth tiger, Griffin thunderzord power" Aisha quickly shouted

"Tyrannosaurus, red dragon thunderzord power" Rocky commanded

And sure enough the Zords had obeyed their every command; they had changed from the old dinozords into the stunning new thunderzords

"Wow, even I'm impressed" Conner said as they watched this over the viewing globe, he turned away to ask Alpha something "Alpha how's it going? Have you figured why we can't use our morphers?"

"I'm afraid I haven't been able to finds out why Conner, every time I tried to take the spectral analyser malfunctions and resets itself" the robot dipped his head "I'm sorry"

"Don't worry alpha, we don't mind sitting this fight out, and we might be able to get Billy to help fix the spectral analyser" Kira reassured the small robot "wait a minute" a thought had crossed her mind "we have our own genius" looking in Ethan's direction

Ethan grinned at the fact Kira had just called him a genius "well not wanting to sound smug but I am pretty smart" he replied.

Conner gave him a glance "not wanting to sound smug" Conner teased "Dude, face it you're so smug right now" Ethan decided to ignore him and walked over to where alpha and began examining the strange device Alpha was holding, Conner turned his head back towards the viewing screen in time to see the thunder megazord and the tiger zord launching their final attacks at Brewnor

"Aww man I missed the good bits" Conner complained, Kira hit his arm "hey what was that for?" Kira rolled her eyes

"We can watch the fight on Dr. O's computer when we get back to 2007" Kira explained, as soon as she had said that she wished she hadn't, Alpha dropped the machine causing it to break into 4 pieces

"You're from the future aye yai yai" Alpha had began to flail his arms again "This isn't good, Zordon this isn't good aye yai yai" Conner was about to ask why it was bad when the other 6 rangers teleported in, they were shocked to see alpha flailing his arms Kimberly walked over to him and crouched to his level

"Alpha what's wrong?" she asked, but to no avail, the robot was still rambling about things like 'fate of the rangers' and 'morphing grid overload', she gave Tommy a concerned look and he looked upwards to Zordon

"Zordon, what's wrong with Alpha?" he asked concerned for their robot friend

"His circuits are overloading from the news that young Conner, Kira and Ethan are from the future, this is truly a bad situation" Zordon explained

Kira was still a little confused "How can it be bad? I mean there were rangers from the year 3000" she shook her head and corrected herself "there will be"

Billy took it upon himself to answer "I think Zordon is concerned that if we don't get you three back to your own time, the space-time continuum will unravel and it we'll all cease to exist" the 8 other teens had a look of shock on their face

"Billy is correct, how ever there is something else he does not know, the morphing grid was designed to handle only 6 power coins, a 7th ranger would push the power to its limits but an additional 3 power rangers could cause the power to become unstable and ultimately destroy the power rangers"

Surprisingly Conner had been able to follow this "But we've all seen the footage in Dr. Os lab, the power rangers live on, so I guess its not that bad" Conner shrugged

"Conner!" Ethan shouted, "Remember in back to the future? Marty nearly destroyed his past, remember the photo?" it took a few seconds for it to sink in for Conner. Kira quickly span her small yellow back pack off and unzipped it and pulled out a photo taken a few days ago

"Guys!" she yelped, Conner and Ethan stood around her, the other teens also joined them, the watched as a teen dressed in white faded out of the photo "Trent!", the teens were shocked,

Adam didn't quite understand the importance of Trent "Why has he vanished"

"Trent's our white ranger, turned good after an evil dino gem turned him against us" Ethan explained

"Something's never change" Rocky joked looking at Tommy, only to be answered with a scowl from the entire team "Sorry"

Ethan resumed, "I'm guessing he never joined our team, but the only way that would happen…." Than it hit him, Kira and Ethan

Aisha wanted to know "What? What could stop him from joining?"

"….is if we weren't there to help him through it…." Kira explained quietly

"Guys look" Conner exclaimed looking at the photo "Dr. Os morpher, its gone, then he never became the black ranger!", Ethan looked into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone "Ethan this is no time to make a phone call"

The teens were amazed at the technology used in Ethan's phone

"Conner, shut up, this is the best of time as any" Ethan snapped back "I just know my service provider is gonna change me a ton for this"

Kimberly had no idea what he was doing, "why are you phoning someone?"

"Simple, I'm phoning the future, more to the point our Tommy Oliver, shush, it's ringing" Ethan hushed them as he put the call on speaker so the other dino teens could


2007

There's a Light in the Distance, See them Coming Closer, With the Force of Ages, of Centuries Gone by, Protectors of the Right, Defenders Sworn…

That was Tommy's ring tone he had ment to change it some day but the song was just catchy. He looked at the caller id 'Ethan' was displayed, "Hello, Ethan" said Tommy pressed the green pick up button on his phone and put it on speaker

"Dr. O you'll never believe it" though Tommy couldn't see his face, he knew Ethan had to be smiling ear to ear "we're in angel grove"

"Ethan what are you doing in angel grove, wait forget it, stay there, try find the youth club if its still in business, wait there me and Hayley will com pick you up" Tommy gave them their orders

Hayley's brows arched, and she snatched the phone off Tommy, "What was that for?" asked Tommy, she rolled her eyes, and glanced at the door way, Tommy had turned his gaze to the door frame, there stood Kira, Conner and Ethan

"Wait, I thought you guys were in angel grove" Tommy said with a confused look on his face

"O..k.. Dr. O, all those colors must be going to your head" Conner joked "we're in Reefside, we are the dino rangers, and your Dr. O our mentor" he said slowly, Kira hit him across the back of the head and Tommy threw her a thankful glance

"Tommy we have a problem" Hayley said, causing Tommy to turn around, "Ethan, Conner and Kira are in Angel Grove, but they haven't left yet"

"You're joking right, Man this is so sweet!" Ethan was shocked to hear his voice coming from Dr O's phone "Hey guys, I got through to the future, before we've even left"

"Wait did I just say future?" Ethan looked confused, "Hey guys, we're there as well"

Kira shook her head, "Someone please come back to reality here and tell us what's going on" she asked

A loud voice came over the phone "Kira, I will do my best to explain" Tommy noticed the voice and it brought a tear to his eye "Zordon" he sighed "It's good to hear you after all these years"

"From my perspective I have yet to experience your loss, I believe what has happened is that the power rangers from sometime in your future will take a trip through something known as an Invisi-Portal, but it actually situated on a tear in space-time, causing them to travel 12 years into your past" Zordon explained

Conner tried to scramble together what brains he had left to figure it out "So, We're there now, yet we haven't left yet and we've phoned Dr. O, but got him at the wrong time, anyone else getting a headache" Everyone's hand except Hayley's was raised

Then a voice Tommy hadn't want to hear come over the phone

"Hey handsome. What Tommy? He's you so I'm not cheating" It was Kimberly, of all the people that had to take the phone off Ethan, it had to be her, and oh no it couldn't of been Adam, or Aisha, it had to be his ex who broke up with him, the dino teens in both 1995 and 2007 both shuffled about the command centers nervously, this was awkward

"Hello, Kimberly, You might want to give the phone back, Phone's from the future have limited call time" Tommy lied, he didn't know anything about Ethan's service provider "So we might not be able to talk long", Kimberly smiled "Ok, love you" and at that point both dino teens heard the sound of a mended heart breaking again "I love you to" another lie, but this time Tommy wasn't sure it was a full lie


1995

"It's good to know the legacy of the power rangers live on" Alpha said happily

"I have a question, Why doesn't the older me remember any of this?" the young Tommy was bothered by the fact his older self was surprised when he got the phone call

"I have a point there; I don't remember ever seeing you guys before you became dino rangers"

Billy stoked his chin obviously in deep though he was about to answer but Adam got there before him "Maybe we do manage to return these guys to their right time and this timeline never happened" Adam proposed

"Wow, that guy's good if only the dino teen though like that" the voice of Hayley complimented him, at the same time insulted the dino teen

"HEY!" all 6 of them picked up on it, everyone in the command centre laughed including Zordon and Alpha,

"Yeah that's Adam Park, he's pretty smart, he always came through for us back in the day and a good friend" Tommy complimented, Adam gave a smile to their Tommy, it was great to know even in the future Tommy still stays friends with the newer members of his team

"But I think we may need to co-ordinate our plans with each time zone, as what ever we manage to do will have to be synchronized with the future, we also have to add the factor that the time in the future isn't the one these guys are native to" Billy started to formulate

"Billy Cranston I take it?" Asked Hayley "You're some what of a legend yourself between us intellectual types" Billy actually blushed at that

"I maybe smart, but I'm not smart enough to fix the power that's consuming the morphing grid" he said bashfully

"What kind of power? I know a bit about the morphing grid, I was the one who upgraded the original one to suit the needs of the dino rangers" Hayley explained hoping that she could help

"Wait, I just realized something guys" Conner had said loud enough for them to hear "These guys are from our future"

"So?" Asked their Kira

"So we could ask them for all the dates Dr. Os gonna spring a pop quiz" Conner explained

"Er…Conner, man you should have been listening, you wouldn't remember any of this" Rocky explained, which set off a major hype in Conner saying something like "The red ranger knows my name"

The Kira in the Zordon's command centre rolled her eyes, "In any timeline you're an idiot".

Billy had managed to talk things over with Hayley, They had managed to stabilize the phone call so they didn't have to worry about Ethan's credit running low, and they also sorted it so the phone would recharge using power cells in the morphing grid, which drew some of that access energy that was building up, till they could sort it and they were now trying to patch a video call by utilizing the viewing globe and Hayley's computer leaving the less computer savvy rangers to talk among themselves

"I hope this works" Billy said as he flicked a switch "any other day I would have said this was impossible, but we've already had people from the future, a teapot monster and a phone call to the future today" laughs could be heard in both command centers' with the exception of the Conner in Dr. O's "Teapot monster?"

The view screen began to flicker a picture of a woman with brown hair and long earrings was flickering on and off, "Adam, turn the viewing modulator anticlockwise until the picture clears" it was just like turning in a television, "There I think that's the best picture we're gonna get" as the picture cleared, often moving out of sync before returning back to normal,

"Whoa" all 12 teens were amazed, the mighty morphing teens mainly because they saw their leader now sporting a black long sleeve T-shit, goatee and short spiked hair, the dino teens on Dr. Os side because they could see themselves and the legendary power ranger's command centre along with Zordon and Alpha, the dino teens on Zordon's side because it actually worked, and also the fact they could see themselves

"Guys you of all people know it's rude to stare" the older Tommy spoke as he could see his old team staring at his appearance

"You cut my hair" those were all the words young Tommy could muster with a look of shock

"I think it makes you look smart" Kim complimented tilting her head slightly

"He needs all the help he can get with that" Kira whispered to Kim making her giggle

Both Tommy were giving her an evil stare, the one that Tommy had used in his evil green ranger days.


Author's notes Hey new chapter, 700 more words than the last chapter, and yes, Tommy's ringtone is the dinothunder theme tune

Will the dino teens get back to their future? Will Tommy's heart ever get over Kimberly? and what will Ethan's service provider think about a call from 1995 to 2007?
