A/N: So... AquitarStar allowed me to put Kira in there :) Now the question is, do you want her as a ranger or just a helper/minor character. I know what I want... :)
"Think of this as your first assignment," Michael started, as they ran through the woods. "Protect me..." As if on cue, a bunch of black dinosaur-like creatures appeared out of the blue. Literally. "From them."
Kim got into the fight straight away, throwing punches and kicks at every chance she got. After she dispatched a few of the enemies, she jumped over a ditch like the others did. Unfortunately, more of the disgusting creatures appeared and grabbed her. Before her teammates had the chance to help her up, she did what anyone would do. She screamed. But this wasn't any scream. No, this was a scream that deafened everyone and threw the enemies off her in an instant. Even though Kim was familiar with supernatural powers, she was just as shocked as the teens.
"Help her up," Michael ordered. Ethan and Conner immediately pulled Kim to her feet.
"What was that?" the former asked in astonishment.
"Some sort of power?" the latter questioned.
"You've bonded with your gem. That's your own special power: you have the Ptera scream," Michael stated. Kim grinned instantly when she realised what that meant. She'd have the Pterodactyl zord again! She was going to ask for confirmation when-
"Watch out!" Conner yelled to the top of his lungs, as more creatures approached them.
"What are those anyway?" Ethan shrieked before darting off like his companions.
"Tyrannodrones! They're-" Michael began to explain but paused to duck an attack. "Dinosauric humanoids..." He cut himself off before he accidently revealed a secret. Conner sped around and protected his father while having fun too. It didn't help his overgrown ego.
Finally, Ethan's gem glowed bright blue and showed him a Triceratops. He braced himself for pain but found that his superhuman power was impenetrable skin. His confidence boosted dramatically and as a result, he took down the group of tyrannodrones without breaking a sweat.
Michael grinned with pride when they all met up at the clearing. They all regained their breath before hopping into his truck and driving off.
"Well done, you've passed," Michael announced.
"How come after living with you for seventeen years, I never knew that you were involved in all of this?" Conner asked from the front passenger seat.
"Simple; I wanted to keep you safe," his father replied swiftly, without giving it any thought.
"Didn't know you cared..." Conner stated.
"Sorry to interrupt but... when do we get to do it again?!" Ethan exclaimed. Kim laughed from her seat, behind Conner.
"Don't worry, more tyrannodrones will pop up soon enough..." Michael responded. As the boys were asking questions, Kim decided to ask her own, itching one.
"Michael... does this mean I get the pterodactyl zord again?"
"Indeed, you do." Conner furrowed his brow.
"What is a zord?" he inquired, truly and utterly confused.
"Oooooh. Are they robots?"
"Of a sort," Michael answered, stopping his truck. The others looked up in surprise – they had so many questions whizzing around in their minds that they hadn't realised they reached their destination. "We're here."
"Woah, check out the T-rex!" Ethan exclaimed. Everyone got out of the truck and approached the door, except Ethan, who marvelled at the statue.
"Look at that nerd," Conner scoffed.
"Aww, leave him alone," Kim cooed. "He's cute." Conner scrunched his face up in disgust and Michael rolled his eyes at his son's antics.
"That's strange," he commented as he evaluated the closed sign and chains in front of the door. Conner stared at his dad, clearly bored and Kim turned around to see Ethan walking towards them. Then it all happened so fast: the statue twitched, Kim's heart started racing, she screamed and Ethan spun around, only to be knocked down by the not so still statue's tail.
"To the truck!" Michael yelled much like Conner did in the woods. He jumped into the truck whilst Kim and Conner dragged Ethan along. As they got in, Michael began to lose it, fumbling with the key and sticking it in and out of the keyhole a million times.
"Come on Michael!" he shouted at himself.
"Michael!" Kim screeched, as she struggled to get Ethan's seatbelt on.
Finally, Michael got the engine on and reversed the car, coming dangerously close to the T-rex. Kim froze because she could feel its breath tickling her neck. As they drove away, the dinosaur chased after them, hot on the truck's tyres.
"This is so going on my blooooooooooggggg!" Ethan cried, despite being bruised and in pain. If Conner could've throttled him then and there, he would have.
The madness eventually ended when they passed under an archway, and the dinosaur hit its head.
"Finally," Conner breathed.
"Wow, that T-rex is even dumber than you," Ethan teased. Michael leaped off his truck and ran towards the dinosaur. The sight shocked him.
"It's a machine..." he stated. "Right, that's it. I'm taking you boys back to school."
Ethan and Conner exchanged annoyed looks as Michael forced them to get off the truck. Kim gave them warm smiles.
"Behave you two... And Ethan, get those cuts checked out by the school nurse," she ordered in a caring tone. "I'll see you boys later."
"Bye," they droned in union. Michael turned to talk to Kim whilst the boys walked away.
"People can't see us together. It's embarrassing," Conner groaned, running his hands through his hair.
"I hear you. I don't want to be associated with a dumb jock..." Ethan trailed off, leading himself into an argument with Conner.
"Boys," Kim sighed.
"Yes, sometimes I wonder if Conner will ever grow up," Michael confessed.
"Hey... maybe being a ranger is exactly what he needs," Kim said.
"Yeah...I'll take you home Kim," he offered.
As Conner and Ethan bickered, a classmate of theirs, Kira Ford, walked up to them.
"Hey, I should probably warn you two. Cassidy and Devin are stalking you."
"Right, thanks," Ethan said, looking around for the mischievous pair.
"See what you've done now?" Conner muttered to Ethan, but Kira misunderstood.
"Excuse me?" she huffed. Ethan suppressed a laugh.
"Not you, babe," Conner told her, which just ticked her off more.
"Babe, did you just call me babe?"
"Chill out."
"No! My name is Kira. K-I-R-A! Maybe you should write it down on your hand so you don't forget!" She was speaking so loud that even Kim and Michael could hear her, from several metres away.
"Who's that?" Kim questioned curiously.
"Kira Ford, one of my Science students, she's in Conner and Ethan's class. Oh, what has that boy done now?" Michael grumbled.
"Whatever!" the adults heard Kira yell, before storming off. Michael was about to go and give his son an earful when a bunch of horribly familiar creatures appeared and whisked Kira away.
"KIRA!" the boys called. Kim instantly bolted out of the truck and ran to the spot where Kira disappeared.
"Oh no," she mumbled, as more tyrannodrones emerged and grabbed her...
A/N: Yeah so I haven't even actually reached episode two yet. The next chapter will cover that. Anyway, I couldn't decide who to kidnap so I captured them both... What do you think? And answer the question regarding Kira in your reviews please :)))
