At the first of the year, Pierre and Caroline married. Shortly after their wedding, a bottle of ooze was brought to Paris. It was found in a warehouse in Angel Grove. The bottle was proven to be very dangerous because it shocked whoever touched it.
"I thought there was only drama in Angel Grove," stated Caroline. "Now we're living next to a lab that had a bottle of dangerous ooze in it."
"The lab is being protected," reassured Pierre. "I've already talked to the police and the people who own the lab. They've got security guards guarding the outside of the lab. And there are security guards patrolling the inside of the lab. No one can sneak in. They've gotten the best scientists all over the world to come look at the ooze."
"Why would the ooze be dangerous?" asked Caroline.
"What if it was some of Ivan Ooze's ooze?" asked Kimberly.
"Who is that?" asked Pierre.
"A purple man that the power rangers fought," explained Caroline. "He had twin machine, used ooze to turn the parents into zombies', and tried to destroy the city of Angel Grove. The power rangers destroyed him by leading him into space and he was destroyed by Ryan's comet."
"I heard the twin machines were controlled by ooze," added Tommy. "The twin machines got ooze put in them to run, while they were in the ware house."
"How'd you know?" asked Caroline.
"I read it in a magazine last year," lied Tommy.
"Oh yeah, I remember reading that magazine," fibbed Kimberly.
"It was a big article," continued Tommy. "I saw that all of the bottles of ooze were destroyed but there was one bottle that they couldn't find."
"I saw on TV that they recently found the ooze," said Kimberly.
"I saw that too," added Pierre. "I did everything I could to prevent the ooze from being brought here. But, it didn't work."
"Why didn't it work ?" asked Caroline.
"They said this was the best lab in the world and they could find out what the ooze was," answered Pierre. "I told them I had a new family living with me. It didn't do any good. I even said my step daughter and son-in-law were living with me. It seems like they didn't care who was living in this house."
"Both of us are at work most of the day," gasped Caroline. "While we are working at your studio we're going to be worrying about our children."
"I'm your son-in-law," corrected Tommy. "You only have a daughter to worry about."
"Now that you are married to my daughter, that makes you my son now," stated Caroline.
"We've got the butler here to take care of them," reassured Pierre. "You have to remember that if anything happened, they would be safe. I trust our butler."
"You never told me what his name was," said Caroline.
"Irwin," answered Pierre. "I just hired him I fired my last butler, Ivan."
"What was Ivan like?" questioned Kimberly.
"He was rude, a thief, and very mean," answered Pierre. "I only had him a month. He stole one of my paintings and tried to sell it as his own."
"What did he look like?" asked Tommy.
"He wore a lot of purple, had a purple beard, and purple hair. He wore a purple robe and a purple wizards' hat," replied Pierre. "He is very dangerous. I even had to get an EPO against him. Last I heard he's still in Paris."
"Kimberly, do you and Tommy have any plans today?" asked Caroline.
"I thought I was just going to spend the day alone with Kimberly," answered Tommy. "It's valentines day and her 18th birthday."
"We just got a new a steam shower in the room with a pool," stated Caroline. "Pierre and I tried it out yesterday. Its got benches for you to sit down on. and its got place to put your towels on."
"Can Tommy get in it with me?" questioned Kimberly.
"Yes, he can get in it with you," reassured Caroline. "It holds up to two people. It's got a curtain inside that you can pull shut."
Kimberly and Tommy got up from the table and went back up to their room to change out of their pajamas and put on their bathrobes.
"I've noticed Kimberly doesn't like getting massages or doing anything spa related without Tommy," whispered Pierre.
"It's always been that way," answered Caroline. "In Angel Grove, Jan and I went to have a girls day at the spa. We saw they had a spa day for couples and we told them about it. Both of them were interested, but Kimberly freaked out when she learned that she'd be in her birthday suit most of the day and could have towel wrapped around her. Tommy offered to sit next to her, during our day at the spa."
"Did she get a massage?" asked Pierre.
"No, she didn't," stated Caroline. "She didn't like the fact that she'd be in her birthday suit on a table with only a sheet covering her. For couples who are dating, they have to pull a curtain shut so both people can undress and get on the table. Kimberly refused to do it. Kimberly never had a massage until she married Tommy."
"Why did she wait until she was married for?" questioned Pierre.
"For married couples they are allowed to lay side by side on the same table," explained Caroline. "That meant Tommy could be next to her."
"I have noticed that they are very close," said Pierre.
"They were best friends long before they started dating. She only had one or two other boy friends besides Tommy, but they didn't work out. One left her for a popular girl. The other boy dumped her because she was petite," explained Caroline. "She started dating shortly after I divorced my ex-husband during her 8th grade year. Kimberly took the divorce really hard. I didn't see her happy again, until she got with Tommy."
"They were both fine when Tommy's parents came for Christmas," acknowledged Pierre. "And they are fine when they are with us. I've just noticed that they don't like to do anything without the other one."
"I think it is just hard on them both being in another country, having to learn a new language, adapting to a new school, and not being with their old friends," answered Caroline. "And they are newly weds, like us. But, they are still teens. Both of them are adapting to being a married couple."
Meanwhile, Tommy and Kimberly had striped out of their pajamas and put on their robes. Both of them walked down to the room with the pool. They took of their robes and stepped into the shower stall. Tommy locked the door and pulled the curtain shut, then they hung their towels up. Kimberly turned the shower on and they sat next to each and stretched out. Kimberly rested her head against his chest and Tommy draped his arm around her.
"What do you think, Beautiful?" asked Tommy. "How do you like the steam shower?"
"I love it," smiled Kimberly.
"Did you think something was familiar about the butler Pierre had before?" questioned Tommy.
"I did," confirmed Kimberly. "I am suspecting that it was Ivan Ooze, based on what he described. I remember seeing pictures of a man that matched that description, when he passed ooze out to the kids."
"Beautiful, that butler was Ivan," whispered Tommy. "That's how Ivan appeared when he handed out the ooze."
"Do you think that Ivan could come back here to our time?" questioned Kimberly.
"I think that's a good possibility," answered Tommy. "You never told me about Pierre having a butler before."
"That's because he didn't," whispered Kimberly. "Ivan is a morphological being. Remember when we went to the construction site and saw the security guard."
"You asked if he had seen a morphological being, and he turned into Ivan," reminded Tommy.
"That's what I'm talking about," admitted Kimberly. "What if Pierre's butler is Ivan and he's changed appearances? He could easily give another name without Pierre not knowing it was him."
"True," answered Tommy. "I've noticed he is in the basement a lot."
Kimberly got a look on her face. Tommy knew she had thought of something.
"What are you thinking of?" asked Tommy.
"Why don't we go down to the basement," smirked Kimberly. "There's a pink swimsuit and a white pair of swim trunks in the closet. I put them down here a few days ago, since we're always coming to the pool after we come home from school. We can change into our suits and go down stairs. Pierre keeps aqua floats and lounge floats down there. Tommy, I've noticed that Pierre and mom use them all the time."
"I like the idea," replied Tommy. "We'll change and ask if we can go down there. We will look around and see what we can find."
"And what if we find something? We can't tell anyone," warned Kimberly.
"We can contact Zordon," suggested Tommy.
"True," admitted Kimberly.
"The two of us will walk through the basement and see what we can find," whispered Tommy.
"What if we see Irwin?" asked Kimberly. "And what if we see him in Ivan's form?"
"I'll make sure we stay out of sight," promised Tommy, as he turned off the shower.
Kimberly and Tommy wrapped a towel around themselves, got out of steam shower, and got dressed into their swim wear. They left the pool room and went back into the kitchen. Caroline was doing dishes, while Pierre was doing a painting of land mark.
"What did you think about the steam tower?" asked Caroline.
"We loved it," smiled Kimberly. "Do you care if Tommy and I go get an aqua float from the basement?"
"The basement was just painted so be careful," informed Caroline. "Both of you have to go down and get the aqua float since you'll have to carry it up the stairs."
Tommy and Kimberly went to the basement and opened the door. A light was on, so Tommy assumed someone was down there. He quickly grabbed Kimberly's hand gave it a tight squeeze. They continued to walk down the flight of stairs. When they reached the bottom, the noticed there were several a lot lilac paint cans in the corner. The basement was now painted lilac instead of tan. Kimberly noticed there were spots of purple ooze on the floor.
"We found what we were looking for," whispered Kimberly. "We can say they aqua float got moved."
"Beautiful, we're down here. So let's take a look," urged Tommy. "I have a feeling that several bottles of that ooze was made. I think that because Ivan wouldn't want it to get in the wrong hands. It's probably hidden in an area that we'd be less likely to find it. Lets search for more clues."
"Tommy, maybe we should go," urged Kimberly. "We could get caught down here."
"I'll watch keep watch to see if anyone is close by," suggested Tommy. "You can keep watch to make sure we don't step in ooze."
"Someone could be watching us," whispered Kimberly.
"I promise we'll be careful," reassured Tommy.
Kimberly quickly wrapped her arm around Tommy's waist. They walked around the basement and Tommy insisted that they checked the whole basement. All there was down in that basement was a washer, a drier, a bathroom, a bed, a small kitchen, a work desk, boxes, and several storage closets. Kimberly wished that she never suggested that they went down into the basement. The whole time they were down in that basement, she was scared they'd find something or someone that they didn't want to find. As soon as they walked by a desk, Tommy saw an open note book with some notes. He began to flip through it. Tommy found notes on ooze on the first page and it was in the butler's hand writing.
"What are you doing?" questioned Kimberly.
"I found some notes," whispered Tommy.
He handed her the note book and let her look at them. She quietly began to ready the notes.
Notes on the Bottle of Ivan's Ooze Being Checked Out in Paris France
Extra copies are in left drawer
Bring bottle of ooze to the lab in Paris, because there are no power rangers in Paris.
Keep the lab guarded with several guards in side and outside of the lab.
Make extra bottles of ooze to control scientists and make them think there is nothing wrong with the ooze.
Take ooze to the construction site in Reefside and burry it in a hyper lock chamber.
There were a total of four twin machine. Two are buried in Angel Grove construction site. The other two are buried in the Reefside Dig Site.
The two machine that are buried in Reefside are based of off dinosaurs. One is a Stegosaurs machine and the other is Brachiosaurs machine. They work just like machines in Angel Grove. They need to ooze to control them, which can only come from Ivan Ooze, himself.
Ivan only created one bottle of emergency ooze that can revive him. If he is destroyed, it will take the whole bottle of ooze to revive him. He can only be revived once, since he was destroyed by Ryan's comet. If he is destroyed after being revived, he's gone for ever.
In order for Ivan to be revived, he must be given strength by a few powerful villians that the current team of rangers are fighting. It will take longer time to revive him.
To review Ivan:A villain must dump out the ooze.
Let the ooze sit for a while and the ooze will began to take the shape of Ivan.
Once the shape forms, Ivan will begin regain memories and some strength.
He will need villains' to give him some of their strength and power in order for him to grow. (Reason: Even though there is a lot of strength in the bottle, all of the power will be used up to allow Ivan to regain his form and body.)
"Are these the only notes you found?" asked Kimberly.
"Yes," confirmed Tommy. "I flipped through the whole note book."
"Open the left drawer on the desk and get us a copy," ordered Kimberly.
Tommy opened the left desk drawer and saw there were dozens of copies of the notes that they read. All of them were typed up. He quickly grabbed a copy of notes and handed it to Kimberly. She quickly folded it up and stuck it in her one piece suit.
"Let's get out of here," whispered Tommy.
They walked out of the basement and went back to the first floor. Kimberly told her mother that the aqua floats were moved.
"I forgot to tell you that the aqua floats were moved, since the basement was getting ready to be painted," remembered Caroline. "They are up on the second floor. While you were looking for the aqua floats, I took your robes upstairs for them to be washed."
"Kim and I are going to go up to our room and get dressed," stated Tommy.
Tommy and Kimberly went up stairs to their room and locked the door. Kimberly noticed that there was some purple slime on Tommy's swimming trunks. And Tommy noticed there was some slime on Kimberly's swimsuit.
"I didn't know you had slime on your swimming trunks," gasped Kimberly, as she took the fold piece of paper out of her suit and put it in the dresser drawer.
"I didn't noticed there was slime on your suit," said Tommy. "Maybe we should contact Zordon and have Billy look at these."
Both of them striped out of their suits and put on a clean bathrobe. Tommy got out his old communicator and contacted Zordon and told them what they found. Zordon wanted to have tests ran on the slime and had Alpha teleport their suits to the command center for Billy and Alpha to run some tests on them. After contacting Zordon, Tommy opened his closet and began to lay some clothes out.
"Can we go soak in the Jacuzzi?" requested Kimberly.
"We will after we check out the butler's bed room," answered Tommy. "Maybe we can find some more clues out."
