A few days after the rangers latest battle, Billy found the location of the toy company.
"Great job man, so where is it?" Tommy asked.
"Stone Canyon," Billy said.
"Great, if ony the kids do not find out it is close to Angel Grove. They might want me to take them there if they know," Tommy
said.
"What's wrong with going back home?" Billy asked.
"One word Conner," Tommy said.
"Oh with Kim and Kat there, I see your point.
"At least Conner does not know Kat is pregnant," Tommy said.
"I do not want to see Conner around either one of them," Billy said.
"At least the last time we all got together, Conner was to busy trying to get embarrassing stories from Jason and Rocky. I dot think he even noticed Kat," Tommy said.
"She was not showing to much then," Billy said.
"Back to the toys, I guess we'll have to wait until Saturday to go," Tommy said.
"You may have to go to their distribution center in Burbank," Billy said.
"Let's hope not," Tommy said.
The alarm went off.
"What is it now?" Tommy asked.
"It's the evil white ranger clone," Billy said.
"Call the kids, I'll get a head start," Tommy said.
Conner and the others were in the city's plaza when the clone showed up.
"Aw man not now," Trent said.
"Yea we were on our way to the library," Katie said.
"It will have to wait rangers," the clone said.
Their commutators beeped.
"Yea?" Conner asked.
"The white ranger clone is back," Billy said.
"We found him already," Conner said.
"Tommy is on his way," Billy said.
"Dr. Oliver is coming? Excellent," the clone said.
Trent morphed before the clone started to attack. Both Trent and the clone started of evenly matched. When Tommy arrived Zeltrax appeared.
"We got to stop meeting like this Zeltrax," Tommy said.
"I agree Dr. Oliver, but we won't until I have my revenge," Zeltrax said.
Tommy and Zeltrax start to fight before the Tyrandrones showed up.
"What does Zeltrax want revenge for?" Kira asked.
"Dr. O, must of hurt his pride," Conner said.
"He's not human, he is one of them. Does he have any pride?" Ethan asked.
Conner, Kira, and Katie shrugged their shoulders. The Tyrandrones appeared.
"I was afraid they would show up," Ethan said.
Conner, Kira, Ethan, and Katie took on the Tyrandrones, Trent battled the clone, and Tommy took on Zeltrax. A few minutes later, Elsa appeared.
"Mind if I cut in?" She asked.
"Actually yes we do," Conner said.
"To bad red ranger," she said.
Elsa took on Conner, while everyone else continued fighting who they were fighting before.
"Don't you ever run out of Tyrandrones?" Kira asked.
"More like do they ever get tired?" Ethan asked.
Elsa, Zeltrax, the clone, and the Tyrandrones vanished.
"Finally," Tommy said.
"I could not say it any better myself. So has Billy found the headquarters of the company that is making the toys?" Conner asked.
"He sure did, we have to take a little road trip this weekend," Tommy said.
"A road trip, sweet!" Conner said.
"I did not tell you were to," Tommy said.
"You might want to make something up so our parents do not get the wrong idea when they find out we are going out of town with our science teacher," Katie said.
"I am sure my dad will not mind if he knows I will be with Dr. Oliver," Trent said.
"Both of you make good points. I thought we would be fighting a monster by now," Tommy said.
"Yea me too," everyone else said in unison.
"I just hope the next monster we face does not have a pumpkin head or anything else to do with Halloween or Thanksgiving," Tommy said.
"Let me guess, monsters from your first go around as a Power Ranger?" Katie asked.
"I just hope nobody tries to make a monster, only to have Mesogog or Elsa make it come to life," Tommy said.
"Let me guess, someone done it?" Ethan asked.
"Yep that was a weird day. Anyways, we will be going to Stone Canyon this weekend," Tommy said.
Stone Canyon, why does that sound familiar? Ethan thought.
"I'll see if Hayley can come with us, so it does not seem weird for Kira and Katie's parents," Tommy said.
"How are we going to get there? I mean we all can not fit into your jeep, and I only have room for one more person," Conner said.
"Good point, I guess Hayley will have to drive and the girls can ride with her," Tommy said.
Conner let out a groan knowing that Katie could not ride with him. The next day, the rangers gathered in Tommy's classroom after school to get their permission slips.
"Did Billy help you make these?" Ethan asked.
"He helped a little," Tommy said.
That evening Trent handed his dad the permission slip.
"What's this?" Anton asked.
"Really Dr. Oliver is taking the other rangers and myself to Stone Canyon to try to stop this toy company from making toys of us," Trent said.
"He does not know does he?" Anton asked.
"About you being Mesogog? No besides, he came up with this for the parents of the other rangers," Trent said.
"Well I know Tommy would not put you kids in any harm. I'll sign it," Anton said.
"I said that you probably would let me go with him anyways," Trent said.
The next morning, the rangers handed Tommy the permission slips. Saturday morning, Tommy, Hayley, and the rangers met at the Cyberspace Cafe while Billy ran the cafe for the day.
"Why did we have to meet so early Dr. O?" Conner asked somewhat awake.
"It's 9 am Conner. It will take us a couple of hours to get there. Besides I have no idea how long it will take to get the company to stop making the toys," Tommy said.
"I'll go make a hot chocolate for you," Hayley said.
"So why did we meet here and not at school?" Ethan asked.
"Because Principal Randall refused to let us meet there," Tommy said.
"That witch," Kira said.
"Ok when Hayley gets back, the girls ride with her, Ethan you will ride with Conner, and Trent will ride with me. Conner, you must follow me, no stops unless I make one or you tell me about it. Hayley already knows what I am telling you. Does everyone understand?" Tommy asked.
"Yes," they said in unison.
After being on the road for almost two hours, Tommy and Trent passed a sign pointing to the exit for Angel Grove.
"Isn't Angel Grove your old hometown?" Trent asked.
"It is where I went to high school at, but I was not born there," Tommy said.
Tommy looked in the rear view mirror when we saw Conner take the Angel Grove Exit.
"What is he doing? Trent contact Ethan or Conner," Tommy said.
"Guys, what are you doing? You took the wrong exit," Trent said into his commutator.
"It's all Conner's idea!" Ethan said.
"Knowing him be probably wants to see where I used to live. Contact the girls and tell them we are making a stop in Angel Grove first," Tommy said.
"Katie, Kira tell Hayley we are going to Angel Grove first," Trent said.
"Hayley said she was planning on going there anyways when we were in Stone Canyon," Katie said.
"Why would Hayley go to Angel Grove while we are trying to talk to the president of the toy company?" Trent asked.
"Her step-sister lives there," Tommy said while turning around.
When Tommy and the others got to Angel Grove, neither Conner nor Ethan would tell them where they were at. Tommy drove by the youth center when he saw Conner's car.
"Dr. Oliver thinks he found them," Trent told Katie and Kira.
Tommy and Hayley pulled into the parking lot.
"Man I have not been here in ages," he said.
"Was this one of your favorite places?' Kira asked.
"This and the park were the two place the other rangers and I hung out at. It is like Hayley's without the computers," Tommy said.
The four walked inside. They found Conner and Ethan at the bar.
Sure this place is like mine. The only comparison is they are the local teen hangouts. Hayley thought.
Tommy walked up to the bar when he thought the man behind the bar looked somewhat familiar.
"Looks like you two are in trouble," the man said.
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY WITH ME CONNER!" Tommy said.
"Easy Dr. O. There is nothing wrong with a little pit stop. Besides Ernie here doesn't mind that we took a break," Conner said.
"I never said that," Ernie said.
"Don't worry, Conner is used to getting in trouble," Ethan said.
"Ernie is that you?' Tommy asked.
"Do I know you?" Ernie asked.
"It's me Tommy. Tommy Oliver," he said.
"Tommy! I have not seen you since I left for South America," Ernie said.
"When did you get back?" Tommy asked.
"Four years ago. I see you finally got a hair cut," Ernie said.
"Sounds like you two know each other," Ethan said.
"I ran this place when Tommy moved here and I sold it before he graduated high school. When I ran this place I didn't think Tommy ever hear of a barber shop or a hair cut," Ernie said.
"We heard he had long hair back in school," Katie said.
"Yeah my uncle Zack told us," Ethan quickly said.
"Is your uncle Zack Taylor?' Ernie asked.
"Yes," both Ethan and Tommy said.
"I have not seen him since he left for Switzerland," Ernie said.
"He lives in LA now and he is engaged," Ethan said.
"You might laugh when you hear who he is engaged to," Tommy said.
"Let me guess, Angelia?' Ernie asked.
"Yep," Ethan and Tommy said.
"Thoese two actally gotgether?" Ernie asked.
"I know I laughted when I foundout myself," Tommy said.
"So this this your girlfriend or wife?" Ernie asked pointing to Hayley.
"Oh no, Hayley is just a friend of mine who came along to help me keep an eye on the kids," Tommy said.
"Well any friend of Tommy's is a friend on mine," Ernie said.
Him and Hayley shook hands before Tommy got everyone back on task.
"Come on guys, we need to get to Stone Canyon," Tommy said.
"Do we have to?" Conner asked.
"YES NOW LET'S GO!" Tommy said.
Everybody said their good byes before the rangers and Hayley left.
I bet Tommy and the kids are the new Power Rangers. It would not surprise me if Tommy is a ranger again. Ernie thought.
Kim or some of the others might appear in the next chapter, if Conner and can stay out of Angel Grove.
