As the ex-rangers traversed the brightly lit hallway following Dimitria, Tommy was hesitant. He was known for being the longest serving Power Ranger, as well as longest serving leader, especially with his recent stint with the Dino Thunder rangers. He was finally leading a normal life with Adam. Did he really want to get involved in this again?
On the other side of the spectrum, Jason was about ready to jump out of his skin with excitement. Finally, a chance to be a ranger again. And not just any ranger, but one of the legendary ones. One that would end all evil. He just couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Kimberly glanced over at Katherine who had a worried look on her face.
"Thinking about Alexander and Allison?" Kim asked.
"Always," Kat responded. "I'm just worried about how much time this is going to cost me with them. And what if I… well… you know."
"Then we'll take care of them," Rocky whispered, knowing what Kat meant. "You know Kim and I love those kids as if they were our own."
"Thanks Rocky," Kat smiled. "But still…"
"Everything will be fine Kat," Kim said, putting a reassuring hand on her friend's shoulder.
The group soon reached another spacious room. The floor had more carvings, all painted, with the six colors that the legendary rangers had been bathed in on the carving in the previous room. In the center of this circle of carvings was a lit orb, shining with the colors of the legendary powers. Torches of blue flame surrounded the room, casting an eerie glow on the group of heroes.
"Please, stand in position around the orb," Dimitria requested. The rangers took their positions with Tanya and Dimitria standing in the center with the orb.
"Now, Rangers," Dimitria continued. "Tanya explained to me that you have already received a variant of the Ninja powers in the form of the Ninjetti powers from Ninjor. However, you have not truly received the Ninja powers."
"What do you mean?" Adam asked.
"The Ninjetti powers harnessed some of the essence of the Ninja powers, however, Ninjor and Zordon did not have full access to the spirits that embody the Ninja powers."
"Are the Ninja powers the legendary powers?" Jason asked.
"Yes, Jason, they are. Because they harness the universal spirits that created the Morphing Grid, and gave Zordon and myself the powers that we harness. Now, do you, Jason, accept the legendary powers, and the responsibilities that come with that power?" Jason answered in the affirmative, and Dimitria continued through the team of rangers asking them to make that promise. The only one who hesitated was Katherine, who was still thinking about her children. But after a reassuring glance from Rocky and Kim, Katherine made her pledge. "Good, now, everyone close your eyes and concentrate."
Dimitria placed her hands on the glowing orb and started chanting. Tanya watched as energy flew from the orb and into her friends. They began to glow in different colors, and after a few minutes, Dimitria stopped chanting, and when the glow faded from the team, they all had different clothing on.
Dimitria turned to face Jason first. Jason was clad in a black leather jacket, red skin-tight t-shirt, and black pants. On his t-shirt was an emblem of a hawk. "Jason," Dimitria explained. "You will be the Red Hawk Legendary Ninja Ranger. You are quiet and intuitive."
Dimitria now turned to face Adam. Adam was clad in a white leather jacket, black skin-tight t-shirt, and white pants. On his shirt was an emblem of a dragon. "Adam, you will be the Black Dragon Legendary Ninja Ranger. You are wise beyond your years."
"Katherine." Katherine was clad in a black jacket, white form-fitting shirt, and a black mini-skirt. An emblem of the lynx on her chest "You shall be the White Lynx Legendary Ninja Ranger. You are insightful and a born protector."
Dimitria faced Tommy now. Tommy had acquired a black leather coat, green shirt, and black pants. His emblem was a horse. "Tommy, you will be the Green Mustang Legendary Ninja Ranger. You value teamwork, and have proved yourself to be a guardian of your team."
Rocky looked down at his new attire. White leather coat, blue t-shirt, and white pants. His emblem was the coyote. "Rocky. You are the Blue Coyote Legendary Ninja Ranger. Tricky and cunning."
"And last but not least," Dimitria continued. "Kimberly." Kimberly was outfitted in a white leather coat, pink form-fitting shirt, and a black mini-skirt. She had a familiar emblem on her chest. "You are the Pink Crane Legendary Ninja Ranger. "Elegant, agile, and a true friend."
"Sounds familiar," Adam spoke up. The rest smiled.
"Why is my power still the same?" Kimberly questioned.
"You see, Kimberly," Dimitria replied. "When you received the Ninjetti powers, they were just essences of animal spirits, and in the case of Tommy, Rocky, and Adam, not your true animal spirit. But your true spirit is a crane." As an aside, Dimitria added, "By the way, I do apologize for you having to be the frog, Adam, I do not know what that Ninjor was thinking." Adam smirked at this.
Suddenly, the temple started to quake, and the new Ninja rangers had to hold on to each other to stay standing.
"Divatox and Zedd must be aware that we are giving you the powers," Dimitria explained. "They've never launched a direct attack against the temple."
"Well… shall we get out there and have a little reunion?" Adam asked. The others all smiled, and ran outside to say hello to their old enemies.
A/N: Hopefully the animal choices are okay with everyone this time. I had a list of possible animals for each person. I am hoping that these ones fit a bit better. Next chapter will be up in a few days.
