Kim sat in the chair next to the stretcher that Conner was laying on, the red ranger not having woken up since their fight with Goldar. It was hard for her not to continue crying over the young man but she knew that she had to stay strong, besides she told Tommy that she wasn't going to cry anymore then she had to. Placing her hand over his, the original pink ranger stroked his hand with her thumb as she hummed softly, mostly just wanting to do something besides sit there. As Kim hummed though she twitched slightly at the sound of soft footsteps coming down the stairs reached her ears, making her look over to see a surprised yellow ranger standing there in a pair of pajama pants and a yellow tank top.
"Do all of you have cloths over here?" she asked as Kira walked over and took the seat next to her.
"Honestly, yeah we all do," she replied softly, her expression telling the older ranger that she was still somewhat asleep, "we stay the night sometimes when we come over for meetings and it's late when we're done."
"I'm surprised that your parents allow that," Kim remarked, returning her attention back to Conner.
"They don't know, I just tell them I'll be out for the night with a friend and I'll be back in the morning," Kira explained bringing her knees to her chest and hugging them.
"Seems like you have some pretty relaxed parents."
"As long as I don't get hurt and whatever it is I'm doing is not illegal they're okay with it," the yellow ranger stated as she yawned, "although they do like me to report in if the weather is bad so that they know where I am."
"Where do you all store your clothes?" Kim asked curiously.
"Conner, Trent, and Ethan all use one of the guest room and I use the other," Kira answered sleepily, "but we all sleep in the living room for fun, Trent and Ethan normally fall asleep in front of the fireplace, Conner in the recliner, and me on the couch."
"And Tommy in his room?" Kim asked with a knowing smile.
Kira nodded her head and placed her chin on top of her knees as she looked over Conner, Kim seeing tears start to form in her eyes. Letting go of Conner's hand, the former pink ranger started to rub the younger girl's back, feeling her muscles starting to relax a bit at the soothing motions. They sat there for a moment in silence, both of them too caught up in what happened earlier that day and with the battered up red ranger in front of them. As she looked at her team's leader, Kira couldn't help but let out a broken sob, her tears finally starting to overflow as she started to cry.
"Kira?" Kim asked in shock, pulling the younger ranger into a hug.
"I know we're rangers Miss. Hart, but normally we get knocked down and get right back up, so why hasn't he gotten up yet?" Kira asked wiping her eyes free of tears, "I mean the only other time I know of this happening was when Dr. O took a really bad hit and went into a comma as well."
"Just because we're rangers Kira doesn't mean we're invincible, one good hit is all it takes," the older ranger reminded her as she sighed, "but Conner is strong and I'm sure he'll wake up soon."
"…Why does it hurt?" the yellow ranger asked as she kept her eyes on Conner.
"Why does what hurt?"
"Looking at Conner like this, I know that I…that I like him but it breaks my heart to see him this broken," Kira replied looking up at her predecessor.
"The same reason it would break my heart to see Tommy like this," Kim explained with a soft smile, "we're female rangers Kira, and unfortunately when we fall for someone we fall hard."
Kira sighed softly and sat there as Kim rubbed her back, trying to comfort the younger ranger, and it was working. As the two female rangers were talking with each other, Conner himself was having different issues trying to wake up.
The fog rolled across the ground of the forest he was standing in, the red Dino Thunder ranger looking around for anything that might be familiar to him. Walking through the woods Conner was overly aware of ever sound, from the crunching of leaves and snapping of twigs under his feet, to the sound of the wind as it blew passed him.
"Okay," Conner muttered as he looked around again, his voice echoing all around, "this definitely isn't Reefside."
Passing by a few more trees Conner was starting to get irritated at the lack of information he had about where he was. Finally, he was able to spot something that interested him, something that he was sure belonged to a past white ranger. Walking over to the enchanted short sword the red ranger took a hold of the hilt and picked it up before twirling it and looking at the tiger head.
"Guess you don't know where I am do you?" he asked half-jokingly.
Tapping Saba on his shoulder, he was about to continue walking when he felt something pull at the sword in his hand. Confused Conner looked around when Saba jerked his arm forward and almost left his hand, seemingly trying to escape from his grasp. Grabbing a hold of the hilt with both hands, the red ranger tried to keep a hold of the enchanted sword as it continued to pull away harder and harder with each tug.
"What's going on with you Saba?" Conner asked pulling back.
"He doesn't belong to you," a voice echoed that sent a chill down his spin.
"Okay who said that?" the red ranger asked taking a step back as he tried to spot the person who just spoke.
The sound of a branch snapping reached Conner's ears and the red ranger spun around towards where the sound came from to see his opponent. Looking pass the trees he finally spotted who it was that was with him and he wasn't at all surprised when the original white ranger appeared.
"Okay, now this is starting to sound familiar," Conner stated looking at the white ranger, "so tell me why are you here?"
"That's for you to figure out yourself Conner," The white ranger said pointing at him, "just try to survive long enough that it comes to you."
"Um…you want to run that by me again?" the red ranger asked confused.
The next thing Conner knew was that the white ranger was attacking him, and his back was soon hitting the ground. Groaning, the red Dino Thunder ranger looked up to see that his opponent was about to attack again and rolled out of the way, the white ranger's fist barely missing his head. Leaning back and pushing himself off the ground, Conner noticed that Saba was no longer in his hand but about ten yards away from him on the ground, the white ranger taking note of this as well. Looking at each other the two ran after the enchanted sword, Conner managing to get their first and spin around to attack the white ranger with it.
"Your moves are sloppy Conner," the white ranger observed as he leaned back to avoid the attack.
"What can I say, I'm not really use to using a sword," he threw back as he attacked again.
"Well then let me help you with that," the white ranger replied before kicking his opponent in the chest.
The attack managed to knock the air out of the red ranger, making Conner gasp as he backed up only for his opponent to sweep kick his feet out from under him. Hitting the ground yet again Conner rolled into a tree and pushed himself up onto his hands and knees, the white tiger ranger kicking him back to the ground.
"Get up red ranger," he ordered as he walked around his fallen opponent, "I know you're not done yet, Tommy would have never trained a weakling."
"What the hell is your issue man?" Conner groaned as he stood up, his whole body shaking.
The white ranger didn't answer, instead he stood there waiting for his opponent's next move as Conner's grip tightened on Saba.
"Okay then, you're not going to answer me," the red ranger said twirling Saba, "Then I'm just going to make you answer me."
"That's what I was hoping to hear."
The two got back into their fighting stances and, not even a second later, they were at it again.
Tommy was busy going over his students' homework in the kitchen when he noticed a flash of pink entering the room. Without moving his head, he glanced up and made it look like he hadn't noticed the other presence in the room, taking note that Kat was being very cautious about not being seen. As the second pink ranger grabbed a hold of a can of Pepsi she was just about to leave the room with the same stealth of the animal she was nicknamed after when Tommy finally spoke up.
"You know if we weren't rangers I would have completely missed you enter the room."
Kat froze in place, her exit only a few feet away, before sighing and turning to face the multi colored ranger sitting at the table. Leaning back in his chair Tommy took off his glasses and motioned to the chair across the table from him, a smirk that Kat found somehow amusing and annoying at the same time present on his face.
"I didn't want to bother you while you were working," Kat said as she sat down, "and Jason wanted something to drink so I…"
"Jason can wait, I wanted to talk to you," Tommy stated making Kat sigh.
"About?"
"You were there when Kim was pregnant, when she needed someone to be there for her," he said trying to put the pieces together.
"That is correct," the second pink ranger agreed with a nod of her head.
"But if she knew that Conner was my son, why didn't she come to me?" Tommy asked confused.
"It's like she told you Tommy, she was afraid and she didn't know how to tell you," Kat explained setting the soda down on the table, "don't take it the wrong way okay Tommy, I tried to talk her into telling you but you know that she can be stubborn."
"So you helped her through her pregnancy and helped her put Conner up for adoption."
"I think we've already been through all this Tommy," Kat said with a sigh.
"I'm just trying to put everything together," he replied making her roll her eyes.
"Yes I was there through her pregnancy and helped her put Conner up for adoption," she confirmed tapping her finger on the table.
"But why do I feel like you're hiding something from me," the black Dino Thunder Ranger pointed out.
"Who are you Sherlock Holmes?" Kat asked amused before noting Tommy's serious expression, making the former pink ranger sigh, "Look yes I'm not telling you something, but I'm not sure if Kim would like me to talk to you about it."
"Why wouldn't she?" Tommy asked concerned.
"It's nothing bad if that's what you're worried about, and trust me when I say we haven't even talked to Jason about it and I'm dating him," Kat muttered pushing some of her hair behind her ear.
"Then maybe it's time we told them Kat," Kim said walking in, a confused Jason walking in behind her, "it's not like we have anything to hide from them."
"Kim are you sure about this?" Kat asked as the original pink ranger sat down next to Tommy.
"I am, you're dating Jason and I'm…well I'm hoping that me and Tommy can work things out," Kim said making Jason and Tommy look at each other confused.
"Okay then what are you wanting to tell us?" Jason asked looking back at the two girls.
"Like Kat told Tommy it's nothing bad," Kim said again with a small smile, "as you know back when I was pregnant I went to Kat for help."
"That has been made quiet apparent to us yes," Jason said with a small smile.
"What we didn't tell you is that…that during this time the two of us dated," Kim continued with a bit of a blush, not looking at the men at the table.
Tommy and Jason sat there in shock, the two of them not sure what to say as they looked at each other and then at the girls sitting next to them, Kat herself looking down at the table to avoid eye contact with her current boyfriend. Kim sat there, wondering if she should say something else when she noticed that Kat looked uncomfortable that Jason hadn't said anything, and honestly she could understand, she was having a hard time with the fact that Tommy wasn't saying anything. Seeing that Kat was uncomfortable, Jason took a hold of her hand and smiled at her, the second pink ranger giving him a small smile back. Clearing his throat, Tommy rubbed his chin and leaned back in his chair again as he went over everything that he just learned.
"Okay then, was not expecting that," he commented as he scratched his head.
"We're sorry that we didn't tell you two, it was one of the things that we wanted to do besides talking to you and Conner, but well you know how that turned out," Kat said biting her lower lip and looking at Jason, "You're not mad, are you?"
"Why would I be mad?" Jason asked with his signature smirk.
"Because me and Kim dated!" Kat reminded him, looking at him in shock as he laughed.
"Yeah so what?" the first red ranger challenged with a shrug, "you're dating me now and you use to date Tommy."
"I think what Jase is trying to say is that it doesn't matter to us," Tommy concluded with a shake of his head, "I mean I'm a little shocked that the two of you dated but it looks as though the two of you remained friends so that's a good thing."
"Well um…okay then…that uh, that went better than we thought it would," Kim muttered, unassured of what to think at the current moment.
Tommy shrugged his shoulders and looked over at Jason, his longtime friend hugging Kat as it looked like she didn't know just how to wrap her head around the whole situation. Tommy didn't really know how to wrap his head around it either if he was being honest with himself, but he couldn't be mad at the two of them since Kat was there when Kim needed someone the most. Glancing over at the original pink ranger, Tommy gave her a smile and was happy to see that she gave him one back before Jason cleared his throat.
"So now that we know that bit of history I guess we need to move on to current events," the red ranger suggested, Kat nodding her head in agreement.
"I think that's a good idea," Kim agreed with a smile.
"Okay so we know Goldar is here, and we know that he managed to somehow steal the power from the dino gems," Tommy stated biting the tip of his thumb.
"But what we don't know is how me managed to get here, Zordon's z wave should have destroyed him with the rest of the evil in range of it," Jason concluded running his hand through his hair.
"That's true it should have, but remember what he said when he took your powers Tommy," Kim said looking at the black ranger.
"Yeah sorry the whole fight is kind of a blur right now," he replied making her groan,
"He said that he finally had to power to finish you off not once but twice," the original pink stated making the men look at her confused, "argh, Kat please tell me you're at least following this."
"I'm actually surprised that they aren't." Kat said shaking her head, "if it means what I think it means, then I believe that the Goldar that just attacked Reefside earlier today, is the same Goldar that we fought back in the nineties."
"So wait you're saying that Goldar was brought here to the present, from our past?" Jason asked frowning, "but who would have the technology to do that?"
"As far as I know the only people that have the technology to time travel is the Time Force Rangers, and their opponents aren't evil anymore," Tommy stated, his eyes narrowing as he tried to think everything through.
"Well someone has this kind of technology otherwise Goldar wouldn't be here," Kim pointed out tapping her foot on the ground, "is there someone you might not be thinking about that could have the possible technology to bring him here?"
"Hm…I mean the only one crazy enough to even come up with a plan like this would be…son of a bitch," the black ranger said standing up and walking out of the dining room.
The other older rangers frowned and stood up, following their friend as he pulled down on the jaw of a miniature t-rex skeleton that he had in his office before walking down the stairs to the Dino Thunder HQ. Sitting down at the computer he brought up a map of Reefside and zoomed out so that he could see an over view of the surrounding area before he started to bring up different tools on it.
"Okay so apparently you have some sort of clue as to who might have brought him here," Jason said walking over to his friend and leaning over his shoulder to watch, "you maybe want to bring us up to speed?"
"I was too preoccupied with Goldar to see the big picture," Tommy explained as he kept his eyes trained on the computer, "we all know Goldar and we know that he can be crafty sometimes but he's by no means smart enough to come up with the plan he did and if I'm right then…. AH HA!"
"What is it?" Kim asked running over to him.
"The last time I talked to Wes and Eric we were talking about distortions in time and how they gave off a quantum surge of energy when they happen," Tommy explained as he continued to type away.
"In English bro," Jason mumbled, his mind racing at the fact Tommy was talking like Billy.
"Basically what it means is that if something is pulled from or goes to a different time then it gives off a kind of temporal residue that can trace it back to where it came from," he replied as he spun around his chair to face them, "and Goldar's energy is coming from Messagog's island."
"How did you miss the fact that it's your current enemy that brought him here Tommy?" Kim questioned, smacking him upside the head.
"Excuse me but I was kind of preoccupied with the fact that I have a son I didn't know about," Tommy threw back making her glare at him.
"Alright both of you no arguing," Kat ordered glaring at both of them, "we need to focus on the task at hand, mostly the fact that we know who brought Goldar here."
"So now we need to make a plan on how we're going to get him back into the past," Jason said crossing his arms over his chest as he watched the computer.
"Why are we trying to send Goldar back to the past?"
The older rangers spun around to see who spoke up when Trent un-camouflaged and walked out of the corner he was hiding in. Ethan coming out from behind the wall he was hiding behind.
"Trent…" Tommy started only to be cut off by the white ranger.
"Dr. O he almost killed Conner and you just want to send him back to the past?" Trent challenged frowning.
"We have to Trent, as much as we hate it he was an important part of our ranger history and we need to make sure that he's there for us to fight," Tommy said shaking his head.
"So what if he is, what harm is it going to cause if he's not there," the white ranger stated clenching his fist, "one less monster to fight Dr. O, one less battle against him that could be used to take down Rita or Zedd."
"It's not that simple kid," Jason growled walking over to him, "it's not like we don't want to destroy him here and now but we know that we can't mess with the past."
"The Time Force Rangers did!"
"They're the exception Trent, they did everything that they could to maintain the past" Tommy said standing up, "and I get it you're mad, you and Conner are teammates and nothing drives a ranger more insane then watching one of their own fall, but we need to make sure the past stays the same so that the future doesn't drastically change."
"I can't believe what I'm hearing," Trent said backing up, "Ethan dude back me up."
"They're right Trent, we can't change history," the blue ranger said shaking his head.
Trent was just about to say something when the group heard footsteps coming down the stairs and they noticed Kira standing there looking at all of them.
"Kira is everything okay?" Kim asked walking over to her.
"Conner is still not awake," she mumbled leaning into Kim as she hugged her, "I…I just couldn't look at him like that."
"Kira," Trent said looking over to her, "help me out here, which do you think would be better, destroying Goldar once and for all or sending him back to the past."
"What do you mean Trent?" Kira asked confused, Kim's grip on her tightening as the older ranger glared at the white Dino Thunder ranger.
"They're wanting to send Goldar back to the past instead of destroying him once and for all," Trent said walking over to her, "now think about this Kira, he hurt Conner, our team leader, and put him into this state and I think we should destroy him but they are saying send him back to his time."
"So you're asking me if I want to destroy Goldar or send him back in time?" the yellow ranger asked looking at the others.
"Come on don't tell me that you don't want to get back at him after what he's done to Conner," Trent pointed out, missing the fire in Kira's eyes.
Slipping out of Kim's hold, Kira took a couple of steps forward so that she was standing in front of Trent, her hand twitching slightly. Trent opened his mouth to say something, unaware of just how annoyed Kira was at the moment and just as he was about to speak Kira's hand flashed up and smacked him, the sound echoing off the walls.
"Whoa!" Conner yelled as he jumped off the building he was standing on.
He didn't know how, or even when, they ended up in this abandoned city. One second they were in the forest fighting and the next thing he knew it was urban warfare, at least to an extent it was, against the white Mighty Morphing ranger. Going into a shoulder roll to avoid hurting himself, he looked down and held his hand to his chest to feel that his heartrate has risen a bit and it picked up the pace a bit when he heard a familiar voice.
"KEYA!"
"Damn it," he groaned as he dodged the white ranger's attack.
Twirling Saba around he blocked the next attack and did a backflip to put some distance between the two of them, the white ranger not allowing that as he moved with him.
"Just give it up Conner, you can't win," the white ranger said as he side stepped on of Conner's attacks.
"Yeah keep thinking that big boy," the red ranger retorted as he ran up a wall and flipped over his opponent.
Seeing what he was doing the white ranger slowed down and twisted his body so that he was looking at where Conner would land. As the red Dino Thunder Ranger was about to touch down he lashed out and kicked Conner in the gut, knocking the air out of him and into a nearby pillar. Sliding down the stone pillar Conner groaned and pushed himself up off the ground and noticed that the white ranger was just standing there.
"You finally going to tell me why you're attacking me?" he asked as he shouldered Saba.
"Something you'll find out soon enough," The white ranger replied holding out his hand, "now give me back Saba."
"Yeah that's not going to happen," Conner stated as the two started to circle around each other, "cause you see, I've grown quiet fond of this sword and I think that as long as I have it, then it's just going to keep pushing you until you tell me what I want to know."
"Care to test that theory?"
Conner smirked and got into a fighting stance, the white ranger mirroring him before they rushed forward.
"Just so you know," the white ranger said in a threatening voice, "I'm going to break you."
Slashing at the white ranger, Conner was surprised that he ducked under it and was suddenly hit in the gut as the white ranger punched him. Staggering backwards he got ready to attack again when the white ranger spin kicked him and caused him to flip through the air before falling to the ground.
"You can't beat me Conner," the white ranger taunted walking around him, "you could never beat Tommy so what makes you think you could beat him in his prime?"
Reaching down he pulled Conner to his feet and pushed him back, the red ranger managing to keep a hold of the Saba the entire time.
"Not to mention that you couldn't even beat Trent," he continued, knocking aside Conner's attack and punching him in the side.
Conner stumbled a few feet before regaining his balance and turned to face his opponent, wondering how the tables were turned on him so quickly. They were fighting, and he was able to hold his own much to his pleasure, but in the matter of a few seconds the white ranger had shown that he was vastly better than him. To make matters worse he had brought up a sensitive topic that he wasn't able to defeat Trent when he was evil and this made him tighten his grip on Saba. Trembling, Conner rushed forwards and attacked the white ranger, using Saba the best he could but the white ranger merely dodged or knocked the attack away before initiating his own attack. Grabbing a hold of Conner and going into a spin kick, the white ranger watched as the red ranger flew backwards and hit the wall behind him, collapsing to the ground and struggling to stand but finding that he couldn't
"I'll say it again Conner, you can't beat me," he stated clenching his fist, "just give up."
"Y-you're right," Conner groaned pushing himself up on to his hands and knees, "I can't beat you, not with what I've just seen, I can't beat Dr. O, I sure as heck can't beat him when he's in his prime, and I couldn't beat Trent when we were fighting."
The white ranger stood there and watched the red ranger as he slammed his fist into the ground.
"But there is one thing that I'll never do."
"And what's that?" The white ranger asked getting ready for his last attack.
"I'll NEVER give up!"
Conner pushed himself off the ground and managed to avoid the white ranger's attack, spinning in midair before landing on the ground. Just as he was about to attack though Saba vanished from his hand and reappeared in the white ranger's hand, said opponent now walking over towards Conner while putting away his weapon.
"That's all I wanted to hear,"
"Um…what?" Conner asked confused.
"I'm not going to lie to you Conner, it's time I told you why you are here," the white ranger replied a few yards away from him, "unlike when Tommy was here fighting for his life, I've been testing you to see if you're ready for the next phase of your journey."
"Next phase of my journey, what are you talking about?" the red ranger asked shaking his head.
"Goldar has stolen your dino powers and he plans on going back and finishing off my team," the white ranger explained placing his hand over the coin on his chest.
"Well they're not really your team, your kind of a…" Conner said motioning to him, "your kind of a figment of my mind."
"The point still being that if he takes the power he took from you back to his original time, then the original rangers don't stand a chance," the original white ranger continued.
"And we don't want that," Conner agreed with a nod of his head, "but I still don't see what this has to do with me."
"You're the son of two of the past rangers," the white ranger stated pointing at him, "and you can feel it can't you, every time you fight Tommy you feel the need to prove yourself just like a son would prove himself to his father."
"My parents are Richard and Lynn McKnight," Conner countered clenching his fist
"That maybe, but your biological parents are two rangers that are nearby you at this very moment," the white ranger said walking closer to him, "and I don't to tell you who they are do I?"
"…Dr. O and Kimberly," the red ranger mumbled as he looked away, the white ranger nodding in confirmation, "why didn't they tell me?"
"It's not my place to answer that question, the point of all of this is that in order to beat Goldar, you're going to need a new power."
Conner chuckled and shook his head before backing away from him, his fist still clenched in irritation.
"Why me though huh?" he asked slamming his fist into the wall next to him, "why did they give me up, WHY?!"
The white ranger didn't say anything, instead allowing Conner to tremble as tears slide down his cheeks. An overwhelming amount of emotions had hit the red Dino Thunder ranger like a truck and at this moment he wasn't sure what he wanted to do, should he focus on taking down Goldar or confront his 'parents' on why they gave him up. To add to the growing number of questions in his mind, why had Dr. O not recognized him when they first met each other, surely he looked somewhat like one of them. And what about his brother Eric, how was he going to take this, he had never met Tommy or Kim.
"Conner," the white ranger said bringing him out of his fury, "I know you're mad, and I know you have a lot of questions, trust me when I say that they will all be answered, but right now we need to focus."
"Right, Goldar," he sighed shaking his head once again, "so what am I suppose to do to stop him?"
"Your birthright," the white ranger answered, "you're going to need to retrieve the white tiger coin."
"News flash the original power coins are gone," Conner stated folding his arms over his chest.
"In this timeline yes."
"Huh?" Conner asked, his eyebrow raised in confusion.
"Just trust me Conner, go to where the Command Center once stood, that will be the first step in your next journey," the white ranger explained, "but understand that this will be your toughest trail yet and you might not come back the same."
Conner didn't reply this time, the white ranger placing his hand on his shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"But I have faith that you can do this Conner, you're stronger than you think and if anyone can do this it's you," the white ranger reassured him.
"I... you really trust me?" Conner asked shaking slightly.
"I do, and I know that Tommy will trust you to once you tell him what you have to do," the white ranger replied gently punching Conner's shoulder, "I look forward to seeing you in white Conner."
With that the white ranger vanished from sight, a strong wind blowing as he left and causing the red from Conner's tank top to vanish and make it white. Looking down at his shirt, Conner nodded before clenching his fist, a white light surrounding him as the area around him vanished.
With a groan, Conner opened his eyes and noticed that he was laying on a bed in a spare room of Tommy's house. Sitting up he looked around and noticed that he was in only his boxers shorts before standing up and spotting his clothing set off to the side. Walking over to the cloths he put on his pants and reached for his shirt when he stopped and pulled his hand back. Frowning he looked down at his hand and then back at his shirt before picking up the red garment and walking out of the room and down to where Dr. O's room was, pushing open the door and walking over to his closet. Opening the oak doors, he looked around and found what he was looking for, a white tank top that looks like it's been used in a while, folded up with the red of Dr. O's green, white, and red shirts. Putting on the tank top he made his way down the stairs and noticed that the stairs to the team's headquarters was open and he could hear someone yelling down them.
"I can't believe you would even consider that Trent!" Kira yelled, glaring at him.
"I can't believe that you wouldn't want to take down the monster that almost killed Conner," Trent retorted.
"We're power rangers Trent, we don't go and kill people for revenge," the yellow ranger threw at him with a stomp of her foot.
"This is different though Kira, Goldar isn't human and…"
"And what, you think just because he isn't human that means we have all rights to go weapon ready to kill him, do you really think that's what being a ranger is all about?" Kira yelled clenching her fist.
"Guys come one this isn't going to help us," Ethan said, trying to play peacekeeper.
"Look all I'm saying is that Conner is our friend and a fellow ranger, Goldar is our opponent and I believe we're in our right to take him down," Trent pointed out, the older rangers shaking their heads.
"You're right Trent, Conner is our friend, and yes I want to take Goldar down, but what are we going to do without our powers?" Ethan asked, sensing that Kira was clearly too mad at the second to answer, "And Dr. O is right, we can't mess up the time line, besides we don't go randomly killing monsters."
"Only those that attack first," Trent said shaking his head, "I can't believe I'm even hearing this, Goldar attacked us first, and based what you just say then we can go and take Goldar down."
"Rookie I understand that you're wanting to take Goldar down, but even we were able to do that when we were rangers," Jason said shaking his head, "it took the z-wave to finish him off."
"Then what do you think we should do then huh?" the white ranger said turning to face him.
"We want you to calm down at the moment Trent," Tommy said standing up, "getting mad isn't going to help and honestly I'm surprised."
"What do you mean Dr. O?"
"This isn't like you Trent, you're normally more level headed," the older ranger said walking over to him and placing his hand on his shoulder, "but you're right, we need to take down Goldar, but we also need to send him back to the proper time."
"We need to come up with a plan first off," Kat said walking over to stand next to Jason.
"Kat's right, and in order to do that we all need to have a level head," Kim agreed taking a hold of Tommy's hand.
"So then where do we start?" Kira asked taking a deep breath to calm down.
"Angel Grove," Conner replied walking into the headquarters, "we start in Angel Grove."
A/N: I'm sorry that Trent was out of character, but I wanted one of them to be aggressive with wanting to take down Goldar and he seemed to be the perfect character to do it. Don't know why just know that it felt that way to me. Oh well I hope you enjoyed this chapter, R&R!
