During fall break, all of the teachers, some of the students, some parents, Billy, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Kat, Willie, Tanya, Jason, Zack and the four dino rangers helped fix up the school, so they could return to school after fall break. All of students were able to return to school the next week. When the students returned to school, a lot of the adults and parents were beginning to come up missing. Only the rangers and Haley knew why. It was due to Ivan passing out the free ooze. The ooze was also placed in every business, grocery store, bank, doctor's office, shopping center, and of the people that were missing were Ethan's parents, Kira's parents, Jason, Zack, and Tanya. The only reason why Jason, Zack, and Tanya came up missing was because they didn't recognize a bottle of ooze, when they saw it.
All of the people who were under Ivan's control were at the Reefside dig site digging up the last two twin machine. Everyone who was under Ivan's control wore a prison jumpsuit. The only difference was that it was purple inside of orange. All of the people worked around the clock, with little sleep. They only got breakfast and dinner; at night all of them slept in tents. Ivan shut down the dig site, so no one would come in. Conner told his parents about them being rangers. His parents believe it, when they saw the sliver bracelets. Ethan moved into Conner's house and Kira moved in with Haley, since their parents were at the dig site. Haley lived on close to the cyber café, which was on the way to school. So, Ethan, Conner, and Trent took turns driving to school. They picked Kira up on the way to school each morning.
"It's been over a month, since we last saw Kim and Doctor O," realized Ethan. "I wonder how they are doing?"
"I bet Kimberly's about to go crazy," answered Conner.
"Doctor O is with her and he can take care of her," reassured Kira. " Haley says that Kim is Doctor O's best friend."
"I thought they have their own group of friends," stated Trent.
"Tommy moved around a lot every year, remember?" reminded Kira. "Kimberly was the first the person who reached out to him. All of the other rangers have their own lives. Tanya is now a singer and is always on the road doing concerts. Zack is a dancer and gives dance lessons, he recently married Angela. They live in Los Angles now. Rocky, Adam, and Jason have their own dojo in Angel Grove. She is still really good friends with Kat and Aisha. But, Kat and Aisha are closer since they've worked in the same school in the same department for years. Kat and Willie are married and visit Tanya and some of their friends from Angel Grove. Billy and Haley are dating."
"Tommy and Kim still see Billy," stated Conner.
"But, he's a college professor," informed Kira. "He's with them a few times a week, when he visits Haley."
"How long have they been married?" asked Ethan.
"It will eight years on Thanksgiving Day," answered Kira. "Their anniversary falls on Thanksgiving this year."
"That only a few weeks away," gasped Trent.

After several weeks,Tommy and Kimberly finally made it to Duclea's plateau. But, she was no where in sight. Tommy sat down against a wall to rest. Both him and Kimberly were filthy, dirty, and smelled horrible. Over the past several weeks, there clothes got dirty, stained, torn, and ripped. Kimberly was walking around Ducleas' plateau. She found a leopard print bra top, a leopard print mini skirt ,a leopard print lion cloth, a pair black canvas shoes and a pair pink canvas shoes.
"Beautiful, can I hold you for awhile?"
Kimberly walked over to where Tommy was and sat down in his lap. He draped his plaid shirt over Kimberly's shoulders and held her close to him. Both of them had been walking with out shoes, after they accidently lost their shoes in quick sand a few weeks previously. He was still able to find them fruit on trees and water from springs. Kimberly had been complaining because they couldn't wash up.
"How much longer, will we be here?"
"I don't know, Beautiful."
Reefside
Back in Reefside, the four rangers were watching TV at Haley's café. Kat and Willie walked in and took a seat next to them on the couch.
"The number of missing parents and adults are beginning to increase," explained the news reporter. "We've been informed this happened last time, when the power rangers fought Ivan Oooze. We have also been advised to tell everyone here in Reefside to be care what the pick up. According to an unknown source, there are bottles of purple ooze. The ooze turns adults in zombies. "
There was a commercial break. On the commercial was a man with purple hair, a purple beard, a purple robe, and a purple hat. He was standing in front of both passing out ooze to children.
"I'm Ivan Ooze," informed Ivan. "Are you bored with your life? If so, come on down to Ooze City and get sticky!"
"I remember seeing this commercial, when I was teenager in high school," informed Hayley.
"Conner, Ethan, Trent, and I were in third grade, when Ivan first made an appearance," stated Kira. "We remember seeing this on TV."
"We watched the twin machines attack down town Angel Grove," added Ethan.
"And we saw the zords fighting the twin machines," finished Trent.
"I bet this is a repeat of what happened last time," gasped Conner.
"I do too," said Kat. "I was in Australia, when all of this happened. But, it was on the news world wide, I believe."
"I hope Kimberly and Tommy are okay," stated Willie. "They've been gone for several weeks."
All four rangers got up from the couch and planned on going to the library to find out what they could about the twin machine. But, Haley suggested that they go ask Billy instead. He came into the café and he was hit with a lot of questions.
"I've heard there is a stegosaurs machine and a brachiosaurs machine," declared Billy. "I assume that they take ooze to make they work. The last ones did and they were very powerful."
"How long do think it will take to dig them up?" asked Trent.
"Last time it took a short time," answered Billy. "But, these machines are suppose to be much bigger. I guess it will probably take longer."
"Can we go to the dig sight?" asked Conner.
"I've already tried to get in," interpupted Kat. "It's closed and the gates are locked."
"We just have to stay alert," said Billy. "Once they are dug up, they will be hidden in the warehouse. That's where Ivan stored them last time."
"Can we go there?" asked Ethan.
"We can try," answered Billy.

Tommy had found a spring for them to drink from and apple tree in Duclea's plateau. Kimberly and Tommy both drank from the spring and ate a apple. Both of them had cuts and scraps on their feet, since they had been several weeks without shoes. Tommy took off his black tee shirt. It had several rips, tears, and holes in it. He shredded it, then he took a piece of it put it in the spring. Then he used it wipe off their hands and feet. Since they didn't have first equipment, he used four shredded pieces as bandages and he wrapped their feet in the cloth, to keep their feet from getting infected.
His khaki pants were shredded and they didn't look like they were going to hold up much long. Tommy saw the jungle clothes that Kimberly had found. He walked over to the jungle clothes and took them back to where Kimberly was sitting.
"Tommy what are you doing with those?"
"My clothes have worn out. I'm going to change."
Tommy changed out of his ragged looking clothes and put the lion cloth on. He slipped on the pair of black canvas shoes. Then he handed Kimberly the jungle bra top, the lion cloth skirt, and the pink canvas shoes.
"My clothes are fine."
"Kimberly, your clothes are worn out too."
Kimberly's sleeveless polo shirt was stained, the seams were coming loose, it was covered in holes, it was ripped and it was shredded. Her pink athletic pants were covered in dirt, their were snags in her pants, both knees had a big hole in them, they had some tears in them, they were covered in holes, and they were barely hanging on her.
"You expect me to wear that?"
"Beautiful, I'm wearing the lion cloth."
Kimberly changed out of shredded looking clothes. She put on the jungle bra top, the mini skirt, and then she slipped on her pink canvas shoes.
"Tommy, I hate these clothes; they barely cover me! It feels like I'm walking around in only my birthday suit."
"Beautiful, I hate walking around just in a lion cloth. I feel like I'm only in my birthday suit too. Why don't we sit down for a while?"
"Why do you want to sit down?"
"We're both uncomfortable now. I want to hold you for awhile."
"Tommy, what good will that do?"
"Beautiful, I can hold you, reassure you everything is going to be okay, and tell you that I love you."
When Tommy looked up, Kimberly was gone. She was already heading into the jungle. Kimberly was wanting to find her dino gem and return home. She wanted to take a shower, get the dirt out from underneath her nails, put deodorant on, wash her hair, and put some clean clothes on. Kimberly took off running through the forest and didn't noticed there was a lot of mud. When she got to the area where the mud was, she slipped and fell. Goldar and Mordant was near by and heard a loud scream. They turned around and saw Kimberly laying in the mud.
"Ivan said Tommy and Kimberly would be near by," smiled Goldar. "This is are chance to capture the pink ranger. She will be prefect bait for us to capture Tommy. Do you have everything we need to keep her from running away?"
"Yes, I do!" replied Mordant. "I've got several strands of purple rope, a purple ball of cloth, a purple blind fold, medical tape, an IV needle, tubes to feed her from and tubes to give her water from."
They walked over to where Kimberly was. Kimberly noticed there were a pair of gold feet and a pair of pig feet standing front of her. Goldar lifted her out of the mud. She was covered in mud from the next down and her shoes where in the mud.
"Goldar, I thought you were gone," gasped Kimberly. "Who's the pig?"
"I'm still around," smirked Goldar. "I wasn't destroyed like the others. This is Mordant, he's a good friend of mine. He was visiting the last time Ivan was here."
"And we teamed up with him," added Mordant. "We didn't want to be stuck in a snow globe like Rita and Zedd."
"I appreciate you helping me up," thanked Kimberly. "I need to head back because I left Tommy behind."
"You're not going anywhere," declared Mordant, as he grabbed Kimberly.
He held her to the ground, as Goldar grabbed her hands and held them in front of her. Goldar tied both of Kimberly's wrists together. He was scared of being kicked so he tied her ankles together. Then he wrapped another strand of rope around her arms and knees. Mordant stopped holding her down since she couldn't get away. Goldar put the IV needle in Kimberly's left hand and used medical tape to tape it down.
"Shouldn't we wait for Tommy?" asked Mordant.
"He'll find her," answered Goldar.
They began to walk away and Goldar threw Kimberly over his shoulder. Meanwhile, Tommy had been searching for Kimberly for over an hour. He finally reached the place where Kimberly feel in the mud. Tommy saw that her pink canvas shoes were still in the mud and he saw she had fallen.
"KIMBERLY!" yelled Tommy.
Kimberly, Goldar, and Mordant heard Tommy yelling for Kimberly. Mordant quickly grabbed the purple ball of cloth. As soon as Kimberly opened her mouth to scream, Mordant stuffed it into her mouth and tied it around her head.
"TOM-MMMMMMMMMMPH!" cried Kimberly.
"BEAUTIFUL!" yelled Tommy. "BEAUTIFUL, WHERE ARE YOU!?"
"MMMMMM!" cried Kimberly. "MMMPH!"
Goldar quickly tied a blind fold around Kimberly's eyes, so she couldn't see where they were taking her. As they walked away, they could still hear Tommy yelling for Kimberly and hoping to find her or her holler back to him.
