Part 2/8
"Congratulations, team," Andrew smiled as the Rangers walked into the base, though none of them looked happy. "You won your first official fight."
"Then why am I not happy?" Tori asked, flopping down in the office chair.
"The others'll bounce back soon," Andrew smiled. "Right now, I'm sending you guys out to search for the next jewel."
"Whoa, whoa," Xander frowned. "Search for the jewels? I thought we were only supposed to help you stop Thrax?"
"Well, with my team out of commission, I need you guys to find the jewels of the Corona, before Thrax and his evil alliance does."
"Mr. Hartford!" Spencer called as the elevator doors opened.
"Not now Spencer!" Andrew frowned.
"Mr. Hartford," Spencer continued. "The Rangers have left."
"Yeah, I know," Andrew said. "I saw them take the car."
"No sir, for good," Spencer corrected.
"For good?" Kelly frowned. "Kaylee's mad at us, sure, but she wouldn't leave, for good... would she?"
Spencer nodded sadly, putting little Karly on Tori's lap. The cat looked up at Tori and jumped off. When she was on the ground, she turned back to Tori and hissed, before running off.
"Even her cat hates me," Tori sighed. "I knew I shouldn't have agreed to this."
"Oh, and I would have been the one stuck in this hate position!" Kira teased, but Tori's serious face stopped her from going further. "I'm sorry. I know this is tough on you."
"Ya think?" Tori asked, her eyebrows shooting up on her forehead, causing Kira to jump back and hide behind Kelly.
"He-he, you talk to her," she said.
"Coward," Kelly shook her head in disappointment, before turning to Tori. "Tor, don't... whoa!"
Kelly noticed how high Tori's eyebrows were and backed away. This was not good.
"You know... I think Dr. O's the best person to deal with this," Kelly said. "Take it away, Doc."
Kelly pushed Dr. O forward, but he shook his head and backed away.
"No way, I may not know Tori as well as you two, but... no," Tommy said.
"You're just as scary now, as you are in the future," Bridge smiled, kneeling next to Tori. He noticed Kira and Kelly's wide eyes and looked up at them. "What? C'mon, she's a person like you and me. She's not going..."
"Get your hand off my shoulder before I bite it off," Tori threatened, looking down at Bridge's hand like it was infected. Bridge finally noticed that he had his hand on her shoulder and pulled it off.
"To eat you..." he finished. "Okay, I say, we sacrifice Xander. He's the most expendable!"
"HEY!" Xander frowned.
"I'm for it!" Kelly smiled, raising her hand in the air. Xander gave her a hurt look, but she just stuck her tongue out.
"You six are the worst support group ever!" Tori frowned, getting up from her seat. "I'm going to call..."
"Blake?" Kira asked, stopping the blonde.
"No... I have other friends," Tori frowned. "Like... Dustin."
"He'd take Kaylee's side," Kelly pointed out. "He wouldn't be much help."
"Or Hunter."
"You two get along only slightly better than Kaylee and Blake," Kira pointed out.
"Shane?"
Kelly laughed as she wrapped her arm around the young blonde.
"Tori, please," she said. "Shane? You're going to talk to Shane about this?"
"We talk a lot when he needs help with the big ones," Tori whispered, making Kelly laughed.
"Yeah, even then, Shane?"
"Alright fine, Blake..."
"I know I don't know... any of you," Adam spoke up. "But it sounded like Kaylee was a little jealous of Blake. So maybe running to him isn't the best idea. If you ask me, maybe you should try to phone Kaylee."
"I didn't ask you," Tori frowned. "And she's my sister. Always has been, always will be. I think I know what's best."
"Tori, she's our sister too," Kira reminded her. "Granted, not by blood, but we all care for her, like you. And Adam's right."
"Rangers, I hate to ruin the... argument, but Flurious is attacking the city, with lizards and chillers," Andrew announced. "Time to suit up."
"You going to be okay to fight?" Kelly asked the blonde. Tori nodded slowly.
"Can I kick someone in the head?" she asked.
"Try an entire army," Bridge smirked.
-----Operation-Overdrive-----
Ronny pulled into her old driveway and shut off the car as her friends looked at her house in awe.
"You used to live here?" Will asked, getting out of the car.
"Yeah, we needed a lot of room," Ronny smiled as she walked up to the door. She pulled out a key from her pocket and opened the door.
"Why?" Mack asked, stepping into the house. He got his answer when Ronny was tackled to the ground by five men. He instinctively reached for his Tracker, but found it wasn't there.
"I forgot how much that hurt," Ronny laughed, crawling out of the pile and sitting on the stairs as the men untangled themselves. "Guys, meet my brothers: Jason, Matthew, the twins, Eric and Jordan, and Deryk."
"Your brothers?" Will asked, shocked she had so many. All of which looked older. Much older.
"Yep, five brothers, one sister."
"Poor little sister," Kaylee smiled. "Poor, poor little sister."
"Let me guess," Jason smiled; he was the oldest and seemed to be in his late thirties already. "You saw Lils on the news."
"You can say that," Ronny answered. "Is she home?"
"In her room, a little freaked out," Deryk said. "I have no idea why though, she kicked ass! Literally. Until the Power Rangers showed up! Did you know they come in different suits?"
"No, really?" Ronny frowned sarcastically.
"Ronny, you can go upstairs, but who are the other people you brought with you?" Matthew asked, standing between Ronny and her friends.
"Um, guys, meet Mack, Will, Dax, Rose, Tyzonn and Kaylee."
"Oh, Kaylee Hanson?" Matthew asked, his face softening as he started bouncing with glee. "She can go through! Lily's going to cheer up when she sees what you brought home!"
"She's not a puppy, Matt," Ronny laughed.
"How do you know her?" Matthew frowned. "She's like, super famous."
"Not super," Kaylee frowned, "But thank you."
"We met... at that time, in that place, with the thing. You were there," Ronny explained.
"I- I was?" Matthew asked, looking over to his brothers.
"Yeah. There was that person, holding the thing, with the thing around its thing! Then we walked to that place to meet up with the dude on the thing!"
"I... think I remember..." Matthew frowned.
"Oh, it'll come back to you," Ronny smiled, grabbing her friends' arms and pulling them up the stairs.
Jason looked over at his little brother and frowned.
"What just happened?"
"OH! Dude I totally know what she's talking about!" Matthew smiled. "When we went to the track!"
"Kaylee Hanson, at a race track?" Eric asked. "Sure... I'll believe that when pigs fly."
"Working on it!" Deryk called out.
-----Operation-Overdrive-----
"Knock, knock," Ronny called softly as she opened her sister's door, with her friends right behind her.
"Ronny?" Lily asked, turning around from where she was facing the window and seeing her sister. "RONNY!"
"Lily!" Ronny smiled, catching her little sister as Lily jumped into her arms. "How's my favourite sister? I heard you were attacked by frozen uglies and hot-heads."
"Yeah, but that's old news," Lily laughed. "What are you doing in Ocean Bluff?"
"Long story," Ronny smiled. "But I came home to see if you were okay? You didn't get hurt, did you?"
"I'm fine Ronny," Lily sighed. She hated when Ronny became protective, especially if it involved broken bones. She tugged on her sleeve, hoping to cover the bandage.
"Lily," Ronny frowned, grabbing Lily's hand gently.
"It's nothing, okay," Lily smiled, pulling her hand away. "It's just a bite."
"A bite?" Kaylee frowned, stepping forward. Lily's eyes widened as she backed away.
"She's... you're... Kaylee Hanson?" Lily stuttered.
"No, it's Santa Claus," Will teased.
"Did you say you were bit?" Kaylee asked, grabbing Lily's hand and opening the bandage. "Was it by one of the red monsters?"
"Yeah," Lily frowned. "I don't get why it's... what are you doing?"
Lily looked down in disgust as Kaylee used her keys to cut her palm open.
"Probably saving your life," Kaylee answered. "If this works."
Kaylee put her now bloody hand on Lily's bite, then pulled it away.
"What was that supposed to do?" Rose asked, handing the blonde a tissue to clean up the blood.
"Heal. It saved me when I was bit," Kaylee explained.
"You were bit by a lizard?" Lily frowned. "How?"
"Long story short," Kaylee smiled. "He bit my hand."
"That's not a story," Lily frowned. "I ran into him, or... I was attacked. That's a story... sorta."
"Well, I left some details out to shorten the story," Kaylee smirked.
"Is she always like this?" Lily asked. She knew the singer was a little insane, but...
"Always is an understatement," Rose laughed.
"DUDES!" Eric yelled, falling into the room with excitement! "The Power Rangers are on TV! Again!"
"Eric..." Lily sighed, watching as her brother ran to the TV room with excitement.
"C'mon, let's go watch the Power Rangers," Dax groaned, leading his friends out the room.
"Oh, by the way, Lils," Ronny smiled, looking around the room she used to share with her sister. "Why the hell are there so many cheetah toys?"
"Oh, I like cheetahs," Lily laughed nervously, pushing her sister out of the room. "Let's go see the Power Rangers."
When Lily was about to close the door, she noticed Kaylee was sitting on her bed. She walked over to her idol and sat down.
"You okay?" she asked.
"Oh, yeah," Kaylee smiled. "I'm just not feeling up to watching the Power Rangers. Especially the blue one, and the yellow one, and the pink one. Stupid Rangers."
"Okay... I'll ignore that, just like I'm ignoring your freaky magic blood," Lily laughed.
"It's just..." Kaylee looked up at Lily, remembering she couldn't explain her situation. "Never mind, I'll talk to Ronny about it when we get back in the car."
"Talk to me about what?" Ronny asked, walking back into the room with a bowl of popcorn. "I figured you wouldn't want to watch the news."
"You know what she's talking about?" Lily frowned. "Let me in! I hate being left out."
"Our identity is open to the public anyways," Kaylee pointed out. "I guess its okay."
Ronny nodded, grabbing Lily's hand in hers.
"Lily, We're the Power Rangers."
Lily looked from Ronny, to Kaylee.
"You're... the Power Rangers?" Lily laughed. "WOW!"
She started to laugh harder as she held her stomach with her hands.
"That is the best joke I've heard in years!" she giggled. "Tell me another one."
"We're not joking," Kaylee frowned. "We are the Power Rangers."
Lily shook her head as she continued to laugh. Ronny growled and pushed her sister off the bed.
"Ow," Lily frowned and immediately stopped laughing.
"Alright Robinson, what'll it take for us to prove to you that we're the Overdrive Rangers," Kaylee asked.
"My last name's Chilman, and nothing," Lily frowned. "Unless you morph."
"We can't," Ronny sighed. "Thrax broke our morphers. That's why we're here instead of on TV with the Rangers.
"Prove it," Lily smiled.
"Would this do it?" Kaylee asked, pulling out her broken Overdrive Tracker from her pocket. Lily's eyes widened when she saw it.
"I'm so sorry I laughed," she said.
"I'm not sorry I pushed you off the bed," Ronny teased, once again pushing her sister off the bed.
"That's no nice," Lily scolded, using her baby voice.
"Aww," Ronny laughed, patting her sister on the head.
"Can you guys not act all, cute and cuddly around me?" Kaylee frowned. "It's kinda hard to forget my sister."
Ronny smiled weakly while Lily just looked at Kaylee with a confused and sad smile.
-----Operation-Overdrive-----
"Why won't you die!" Tori yelled, punching the last chillers with every word. Bridge put his hand on her shoulder, only to scare the blue Ranger as he was flipped onto his back.
"Oww..." Bridge frowned.
"You okay?" Adam asked, helping his red Ranger up.
"I think I'll live until tomorrow... the future's tomorrow, that is. I'm alive right now... as a baby though... actually, as a toddler," Bridge rambled.
"Shut up," Kelly laughed.
Kira looked over at her friend in blue and sighed as Tori let go of the Chillers, letting it drop to the ground as she feel to her knees. She was about to walk over to her, when Hartford spoke over the communicator.
"Rangers, now that you're done, I think we have a lead on the next jewel. I need you to head to Europe for your first mission."
"Mr. Hartford, with all due respect, I don't think we're ready for a mission," Kira sighed. "Tori's not feeling well."
"Allow her to come home, but I need you to start working on the next jewel."
"But Mr. Hartford..."
"Kira... it's the world I'm talking about."
Kira turned off her communicator and turned to the boys and Kelly.
"I see why Kaylee hates him."
"Let's just bring Tori home," Dr. O sighed. He helped Tori to her feet, but was suddenly blasted from behind.
"This is the end, Retro Rangers," Thrax called as he stood with his alliance, before the Rangers.
"Oh, shit." Kelly groaned, realising they were surrounded.
Author's Note: Alright, I've had one person guess right a few chapters ago. Anyone else wanna take a shot and guess who Ronny's sister is. By now it's fairly obvious but let's see how many of you are observant enough to see it :)
