"So this is Briarwood." Kim said getting out of the car.
Charlotte helped Lori unbuckle and the trio entered the record store.
"Welcome to The Rock Porium!" Phineas said jumping out.
Charlotte jumped while Lori just smiled at the troblin.
"Hi I'm Lori and I'm this many." Lori said holding up three fingers.
"Nice to meet ya. How about you?" Phineas asked Charlotte.
"I'm Charlotte and I'm five." Charlotte said.
"Sir we're looking for a Xander Bly. Do you know where he is?" Kimberly asked.
"He's in the back. Xander!" Phineas called.
Xander walked out from the back and made a b line for Kim.
"What are you doing here Miss Kim?" Xander asked recalling the older woman when they dropped Kira off in Reefside.
"Your Mentor called me. We need to get to your base. But we should wait for the rest of the team." Kim said.
"You won't have to wait long." A voice said from behind them.
They whipped around to see Adam, Rocky, Tanya and Aisha.
Three children came running from behind and tackled Lori.
"Lori!" Two of the children yelled.
The third quietly hugged Lori.
The boy had brown hair, green eyes and a quirky smile plastered one his face.
The first girl had dark skin, brown eyes and the same smile as the boy plastered on her face.
The other girl also had dark skin, though it was much lighter, Asian features, black hair and black eyes that shown quiet excitement.
"Bridge! Kande! Amy!" Lori exclaimed.
"Thank god you're here! I don't think we could have handle the twins with Lori without you, Charlie." Rocky said.
Charlotte rolled her eyes but smiled at her Uncle just the same.
"Hello Charlotte." Adam said.
"Hi Uncle Adam, Aunt Tanya, Aunt Aisha, Uncle Rocky." Charlotte said politely.
"Have you heard from Billy?" Kim asked.
"He's almost here. He ran into your husband by the way. He has Nick with him." Tanya said lifting Amy up out of the tangle of children.
"His car got blew up…. Again." Rocky said.
Kim sighed and made a mental note to call their insurance agent.
"What's going on?" Madison asked walking into the store, confusion sketching her face.
"Troubles brewing." Chip said from behind the counter.
"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" Lori said crawling from under the heap that was Bridge and Kande.
"What sweetie?" Kim asked.
"That's the lady Uncle Nick's going to marry." Lori stated pointing at Madison.
The three mystics gasped.
Kim covered Lori's mouth.
"Sorry about her. She blurts things out sometimes." Kim said.
"It's ok." Madison said recovering.
"Hey are we in the right place?" A voice called.
Kira and a boy Kim recognized as Justin Stewart walked in.
"Hey guys!" Kim said brightly.
Seeing Kira always brightened Kim's day.
Every since she had moved to Reefside, when the rangers had defeated Messogog of course, the two women had bonded over their zords and love of music.
"So do you know what's up Kim? All we got was a call from Conner saying to come here." Justin asked.
Justin had decided to visit during the school's reunion and him and Kira had hit it off right away.
"No clue." Kim said.
"Kat and Jason are out there Kat doesn't want to get out of the car." Kira said with a sigh.
Kim nodded, understanding the hassle of getting out of car while pregnant.
"We should go ahead and head over to Rootcore. We can get and assessment of the situation." Kim said.
"I stay here. Make sure everyone goes to the right place." Kira offered.
"I'll stick around too. Keep Kira some company." Justin said.
Kim had a sneaking suspicion Justin wanted to make sure Xander didn't hit on Kira…. Again.
The group of rangers left the store, children in tow, heading towards the tree when a yellow jeep pulled up.
"Hey Carter!" Rocky said waving at the red ranger.
Carter nodded and the Lightspeed rangers filled out of the jeep.
They noticed that a black van had pulled up behind them and the Time Force rangers and all but one of the Wild Force rangers leave the van.
"You're all here already?" Adam asked.
"We knew it was coming. We were prepared this time." Trip said.
"Do you know what's going on then?" Dana asked.
Lucas shook his head.
"Alex wouldn't tell us and ranger information is had to get. He just sent us." He said.
"This must be bad then." Aisha said.
"We got word from Space and Galaxy. They won't be here for a while. They were attack by these three crazy chicks and are repairing the ship." Joel said.
"I was attacked by them too." Kim said.
"Us too." Chad said.
"This is so weird." Alyssa said crossing her arms.
"Our best bet is to get to Rootcore and fast." Adam said.
They all agreed and head through the tree.
