A/N: I'm glad you guys like the story so far. Now, as promised I will answer some questions that came up.

Tierra: Sadly Kaylee doesn't have a weapon for OO. In chapter one, when everyone called their weapons, I had Kaylee change her zwop to Drive Zwop to fit in with the others. Dunno if it'll be permanent. I didn't really go into detail with her zord because I personally don't really care about the Zord fights, so when it does pop up, it can be anything you want. And her civilian power, teleportation and her water powers. She went back to the academy after DT and trained under her sister to get her water powers (something Always have a little Faith should include if she can ever finish DT).

Dguice and Tierra: Yes Kaylee did help with Mystic force, but not the team you think. After DT and before OO, Kaylee and some other former Rangers were called back to get MF started. I don't want to say much because I don't want to spoil Faith's story, but she does know the MF team that appears in the show because her team passed their powers down to them. There is no story written yet, but I will try to kick Faith's butt into finishing A shade of Green, and to write at least a chapter of MF.

Now, for those of you who haven't read the first two stories before this, you should first read Ninja Storm: Redone, by me, and Dino Thunder: A shade of Green, by Always have a Little Faith. And please review her story if you want her to finish. I'm trying my best but her plot bunnies are not helping.

Enjoy Chapter two!

"That was awesome!" Dax smiled, jumping up and down as he and the others got back to the mansion.

"But the bad guys got away," Will frowned. "How is that awesome?"

Hartford smiled, walking over to the safe. He moved the picture away and opened the safe. "Moltor may have gotten away with a crown..."

"A crown? As in, not the crown? As in, not the real crown? As in, you made me go after hot head and hurt myself for a cheap, plastic FAKE?" Kaylee frowned, rubbing her chest and unwrapping her bandage.

"It doesn't matter," Hartford smiled. "We need Moltor to believe he has the real crown. You guys did great."

"We were great?" Rose smiled, turning to Mack, then back to the mentor. "Mack was the one who was great! He jumped into action when you couldn't!"

Mack blushed at the praise he was receiving from the youngest member of the team, but his father's face was nowhere near as happy as his own, or the others.

"Yes, great job Mack. You wanted to be a Ranger and you were one. Now it's time to put away that fantasy," Hartford extended his hand. "I'll take back your tracker."

Sighing, Mack was about to hand it over, but Kaylee stepped in the way, putting her hand over Mack's.

"So you want to be the red Ranger? Instead of Mack?" she asked. "Even after what he did today?"

"Kaylee, I can't put him out there!" Hartford frowned. "You have to understand."

"He's proven himself to be an awesome red Ranger! He's more suited than you!" Kaylee yelled. "A red Ranger needs to show bravery even when hope is lost! He needs to motivate the team! When we lost the crown, you had me go after it!"

"Kaylee... you can't take that one fight to..."

"I've seen more red Rangers that you. They've all had the same potential as Mack! If you were really a red Ranger, you would have gone after that crown yourself."

Hartford glared at the girl. She couldn't understand the concern he had for his son, and the reasons he didn't want Mack to fight. He grabbed the tracker from his son, and walked off.

"I'll be upstairs in my office."

Kaylee turned back to Mack.

"I tried," she smiled softly, putting a hand on his shoulder.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

Downstairs, in the Overdrive Base, Will was taking a closer look at the giant globe in the center of the room. He touched it a couple of times and saw circles of light spread from each contact.

"Incredible!" he smiled. "I thought only the defence department had this type of global tracking capability!"

"It's a tracker?" Kaylee smiled, running up to the globe. "Ooh... maybe I can track Dustin... see if he's with bug head."

Rose was playing around with the computer and smiled. "This one is way better! It's got a network of twenty-seven satellites, wide area augmentation system, parallel multichannel design, and a differential GPS accurate to one inch or less."

She looked up to Ronny, who was staring at her. "What?" she frowned "Oh, I guess I'm the only one who memorized the data Manuel."

"I guess you're the only one who read it," Ronny laughed.

"I guess you're the only one who touched it," Kaylee giggled.

Ronny started typing away on the computer. "Now, where are these amazing vehicles they said we'd be using?"

Suddenly, a picture of the Zords popped up on screen.

"Those are for us?" the taller blonde smiled. "I may need to lie down a minute."

Suddenly, Mack burst into the room, upset about something. "He's gone, and his office is trashed!" It's gotta be those Lava-freaks that took him!"

"Who?" Dax frowned, looking around the room.

"Master Hartford is missing," Spencer explained. "There was a large mess in his office that I do not expect to clean."

"Don't worry Mack," Dax smiled. "We're going to get your dad back!"

"Yeah, Rose knows how to use the tracking inch device thing!" Kaylee giggled, seeing as Rose was already on the computer.

"Thanks..." Mack smiled. "I just wish he hadn't taken Red's tracker."

A smile appeared on Spencer's face. "Ah yes... the tracker. What a pity it's in your father's office, locked in a fool-proof safe. Impossible to crack, impossible."

The butler turned to Will, who caught the look and smiled back.

Kaylee smiled, seeing Will run off. She then went to check how Ronny was doing, while Dax went to check up on Rose.

"Hey, that blinking thing looks like an 'H'!" Kaylee giggled, pointing to the blinking red light on Ronny's screen. Ronny looked down at Kaylee.

"You're not being serious, are you?" she asked. Kaylee shrugged and backed away.

"Did you find him?" Mack asked.

"Rotuma Island," Ronny smiled. "I never heard of it."

"It's a remote island in Australasia, approximately four hundred and sixty five kilometres north of Fiji," Rose explained. "Now, what I don't know... is how we're going to get all the way over there."

"Well," Spencer smiled. "The fastest way would be to use the Special Hydro-Aero Recon Craft. Which Mr. Hartford loves to call, the SHARC."

It was Spencer's turn to type away on the computer, brining up a picture of the SHARC. Ronny's jaw dropped when she saw the beautiful vehicle before her.

"Sweet! I'm driving!" she called.

"Yeah, I'm going too," Mack said. "Don't try to stop me Spencer!"

"I wouldn't dare sir," Spencer smiled, seeing the Rangers leave. "But I do need Kaylee to stay behind."

The Rangers all stopped in their paths and turned back to the butler.

"But Spencer! We need her!" Dax frowned.

"Yeah... she's our leader!" Mack smiled, turning to the blonde. He had heard of the other ranger teams she was on, and figured it was about time she was leader of a team. Kaylee smiled at the red Ranger before turning back to Spencer.

"We've left her injury for too long already... I'm sorry, but you'll all have to deal without her," Spencer explained.

Kaylee looked down at the bite and saw it was even worse that before. "I guess it's fair," she smiled. "Spencer's right, if this starts acting up, I'll be no help to you guys. Go save Hartford, I'll be fine."

"You guys aren't going to leave without me, are you?" Will called, sliding down the pole and tossing a tracker to Mack.

"You got it!" Ronny smiled.

"Was there a doubt?" Will laughed.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

Spencer had set up a medical station to check up on Kaylee's bite. He put her hand on a table and after injecting a needle, he cut her arm open slightly to get a better look.

"The poison's still in here... but it's not spreading," he frowned, noticing that the white liquid, most likely the Lava Lizard's spit, was a round blob.

"Don't look at me," Kaylee frowned. "I'm just as stumped as you!"

"You said you controlled the power of water, right?" Spencer asked, grabbing a needle and thread to sew the cut back up. He set the objects beside him so they were at the ready.

"Yeah, I dumped water on your head, remember," Kaylee laughed.

"Maybe... your body doesn't recognise the spit as water. But because it's liquid, you can still manipulate it. I think you're body is slowly removing it."

"How? "Kaylee frowned, wincing as Spencer put a pair of tweezers in her arm, and pulled out the blob. The whole thing came out at once, which was a relief to Kaylee seeing as the tweezers were only slightly bigger than the cut. He put the blob in a container and closed it.

"By putting all the pieces together to make that... blob. The bubbling that happened in the jeep was probably the spit coming out, from the holes in your arm."

"So my body is self healing?" Kaylee frowned. Suddenly she remembered the gem of souls. She shut her eyes as her hand started to glow. With her good hand, she held the gem close to her heart and smiled. "You saved my arm, you little devil!"

Spencer frowned at the girl while stitching her back up. Kaylee caught the look and smiled.

"If I have no control over this thing, it steals my life. That's the devil part," she smiled. "But I learned to control it a few years ago, and I think I've gotten to the point where it can heal me... without me asking it."

"Regeneration," Spencer smiled.

"Regene... what?" Kaylee frowned. "I dunno what you said, but I think I can heal myself now!"

Spencer laughed, cutting the thread once he was done with the stitches. "That is what I said."

"Oh..." Kaylee laughed nervously. She looked down at the stitches and frowned. "So wait... if I do regene... regen... heal, why isn't this healing?"

Spencer looked down at the cut. "I believe it's internal," he smiled. His eyes then caught sight of the gene resequencer and he smiled. "There might not be much I can do with this... but maybe."

He told Kaylee to stand where the Rangers had stood to receive their powers. He moved to the control panel and pushed a button. Kaylee frowned as she was covered in a green glow. Spencer grabbed the gem of souls and set it on a table next to Kaylee. Suddenly, the rock disappeared.

"I didn't tell you to go back to the ocean!" Kaylee yelled, before seeing a glow on her chest, which stood out. She looked down and realised the gem was a part of her.

"You now have new powers," Spencer smiled. "Or at least, modified powers."

"Sweet! What can I do?" Kaylee asked.

"Most likely, nothing," Spencer answered.

"Sweet!" Kaylee stood perfectly still for a minute, her eyes closed. Suddenly, they snapped open. "Wait, can't regular people do this?"

Spencer sighed, but his smile never left his face. "The gem of souls is a part of your genetics. You can pass down its powers to your children. But you might not have its powers to yourself anymore."

"So I can't save people?" Kaylee frowned. "Bummer."

"Anything you could do with the gem before, you can do now... but its power is going to remain in your family. Who knows, maybe one of your children will be able to heal themselves... like a Marvel superhero."

"Really?" Kaylee smiled. "Really, really, really?"

"Really."

Spencer chuckled as Kaylee threw herself at him, squeezing him tight. "You're my favourite English butler!"

Spencer pulled away from the blonde and straightened out his shirt. "You're my favourite little blonde," he smiled, ruffling her hair.

He smiled to himself as he watched Kaylee walk away, with a bounce in her step as she hummed a familiar tune. He loved Mack dearly, and the boy was truly like a son to the old man, but Kaylee and the old butler, they had something special, and Spencer felt it.

It could have been because Spencer had lost a daughter Kaylee's age. It could have been because Kaylee was missing a father figure in her life since her parents passed away. But the two were strangely growing close. Almost like... father-daughter.

As he walked upstairs to join Kaylee in the game room, he saw the Rangers and Hartford were back from their trip.

"Thank goodness you're all right, sir. I was really getting worried about you," Spencer smiled.

"Spencer, are you turning into a softy in your old age?" Hartford teased, gently grabbing Kaylee's arm to check on her injury.

"Never, sir," Spencer smiled huffily

Everyone laughed at the two older men, before an alarm sounded. Ronny turned to the TV and saw the giant monster she and the others fought at the island was back, and bigger than ever.

"Sounds like it's time for the big stuff!" she smiled, her heart racing at the thought of driving one of the Zords.

"All right, Ronny," Hartford smiled. "Guys, get your DriveMax Zords and go!"

"Miss Hanson," Spencer called before Kaylee could even take a step in the direction of the door. Kaylee sighed, looking down at her arm.

"Mack!" Hartford frowned, stopping his son from leaving, just like Spencer had done.

"Dad, they need my help!" Mack reminded the man. Hartford turned to the other Rangers, seeing them all nod.

"Be careful," he smiled, letting his son join in the adventure as the official Red Ranger of the team.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

Down in the base, Mack was the last one to get in genes modified by the machine. Spencer and Kaylee had agreed not to mention the Green Ranger's trip in the machine.

"You're DNA resequencing is now complete, sir," Spencer smiled, turning off the machine.

"I don't feel any different," Mack frowned.

"Well, it takes a few minutes to kick in," Ronny smiled to the boy.

"It's great to have you on the team, Mack," Rose offered a tracker to Mack. The Red Ranger smiled, taking it.

"I can't believe this is really happening!" Mack exclaimed, taking the tracker and putting it in the pouch on his shoulder, like the others. Suddenly, he stopped and frowned.

He reached out to Spencer and grabbed the butler by the collar, lifting him off the ground. Kaylee's eyes widened.

"Hey! Pick on someone else!" she frowned.

"When I asked for a raise, this is hardly what I had in mind," Spencer laughed as Mack put him back down.

Andrew walked into the room and smiled. "I see you've given Mack his enhanced powers."

Spencer nodded and walked away from the group with Hartford. "I had the resequencer calibrated especially for him, sir."

Andrew smiled, and turned his attention to the group.

"Listen up Rangers. It's time to get to work. Our enemies have the crown, and now they're going to be after the jewels. It's going to be the mission of Operation Overdrive to find them first!"

"Yeah!" Everyone shouted, ready for the adventure that awaited them.

"Wait..." Kaylee frowned. "You let Moltor get the crown? Do I have to do everything myself?" she sighed, pretending to leave the room to get the crown. Spencer caught her bluff and laughed.
