"We at least need some 2×4's and nails to board up the door. We also need something heavy to put in front of the door before Tommy get's home," Billy said.
"That is your idea of how to keep Dr. O out of the lab?" Conner asked.
"Do you have a better idea?" Billy asked.
"With Katie evil again, I guess this is not a good time for me to ask her to put in a good word for with her dad," Ethan said.
Everybody looked at him.
"What her dad is the president of Reefside Tech and I want to go to school there."
The monitor came on with the monster near the school. The rangers took off on their bikes. Billy went out through the cave entrance. On his way to the front door, he saw Tommy's jeep.
Crap he's home. Billy thought.
"Hey Billy," Tommy said as he opened the front door.
"Tommy, what are you doing?" A nervous Billy asked.
"Just making a sandwich and watching TV."
"Is everything ok?" Billy asked.
"Yes why wouldn't it be?"
I saw you fighting the monster."
"Yea I was in town when I saw it. I jumped right into action before I called for help."
"Well, I am going to go see how Hayley is doing," Billy said as he grabbed his keys.
"Ok, have fun."
He bought that? Billy thought as he started his car.
He went to the hardware store. Meanwhile, the rangers were having little trouble against the monster.
"It's time to draw out our weapons. Yours should be in your belt Lena," Conner said.
She pulled out a purple mace that resembled the Cepala Power Punch attachment.
"Neat," she said.
After some fighting, the rangers destroyed the monster. As usual it came back to life and grew.
"Uh, is that suppose to happen?" Lena asked.
"Yep, its zord time," Conner said.
The rangers formed the megazord. Meanwhile, Billy was boarding up the basement door when his cell phone rang.
"Hey Rocky, what has Alpha done?"
"Actually he remembered something. He said hat he had installed a security system in the lab for a situation like this."
"Great, so what do I need to do?"
Billy did everything Rocky told him to do. The whole time Tommy was upstairs grading papers. While Billy was trying to activate the security system, he watched the battle happen. The sun was starting to set when Conner called for the Cephala Power Punch.
"Lena that is your zord," Ethan said as the zord was bouncing around before it attached.
"It's cute," she said.
Before the rangers could destroy the monster Tommy, Trent, and Katie came morphed.
"Who's side are they on now?" Kira asked.
"We'll find out soon enough," Conner said.
Tommy used his Bracho Staff to knocked the megazord down. Trent and Katie formed their megazord to destroy the monster. Then Trent and Katie stayed in their megazord and fought the other meagzord.
"When did they have their own megazord?" Lena asked.
"Every since they first became evil," Ethan said as their megazord fell down again.
"ABANDON SHIP!" Conner yelled.
"I guess destroying the monster did not work," Kira said.
"I think the sun setting and the Northern Lights being visible have something to do with it," Ethan said.
"I agree with Ethan," Conner said.
"Ok who are you and what have you done with Conner McKnight?" Kira asked.
"It is me babe," Conner said.
Kira's face turned red when Ethan said, "Yep it's Conner alright."
"We better head home guys," Lena said.
The rangers went home. Lena was going through the TV channels when she found a movie on the sci-fi channel. In the movie the main character had the ability to influence somebody without them knowing.
I wonder if this works in real life. She thought.
The next morning, she decided to try it on an unsuspecting classmate. Meanwhile, Tommy woke up to a phone call from his mom.
"Hey mom what's going on?" Tommy asked still waking up.
"It's your grandpa."
"What's wrong?"
"He's in the hospital. They are calling in the family."
"I'll call in and I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Ok bye be careful and see you soon," she said before they hung up.
He called Principal Randall and told her what was going on. She called Billy to sub and he agreed to. When the rangers got to school, Trent and Katie seemed fine. The other four were nervous talking to them. Lena was looking for the perfect person to test. Before first period started, she found the right person. When the bell rung everybody was surprised to see Billy walk into the room.
"Good morning class. I am your substitute Mr. Cranston. Dr. Oliver has a family emergency."
The rangers wondered what was going on with Tommy. After class Conner, Kira, and Ethan walked up to Billy.
"What is going on with Dr. O?" Ethan asked.
"It's his grandpa. I may have to be your sub for a few days. By the way, I got the lab secure so that Tommy, Trent, and or Katie and not sneak in and trash it. You will have to do something to enter without setting off the alarm."
Meanwhile. Lena spotted her target and tried her idea.
I wonder if it works? She thought.
Later that morning, Lena , Kira, Ethan, and Conner noticed Cassidy being nice to somebody by picking up their pencil that they dropped.
I think it did work. She thought.
At lunch, the rangers saw something they thought they would never see. Devin standing up to Cassidy.
I must have influenced him to. Lena thought.
"What was that all about?" Kira asked.
"Nobody said anything.
I must use this power for good. Lena thought.
After school Conner, Kira, Ethan, and Lena went to Tommy's house. Billy met them in the front yard and took them to the cave entrance. He should them how to enter the lab without setting off the alarm.
"Great job Billy," Conner said.
"Thank Alpha, he is one who installed the system."
"Where is he?" Ethan asked.
"He is at Rocky's until things get back to normal."
"He owns the Mexican restaurant right?" Lena asked.
"Yes," Billy said.
Billy cell phone rings when he said, "It's Tommy."
He puts the phone on speaker then he answers.
"Hey Tommy, how is it going?"
"I'll be spending a few days here. I should be back after my grandpa's funeral."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Billy said.
"So are we," Conner said.
"Thanks Conner you better be good in class for Billy. So how was everything at school today?"
"First period was the usual then things got weird," Kira said.
"Unless you count Cassidy being nice as normal," Ethan said.
"Where are you guys at? I thought I heard Ethan say Cassidy was nice today."
"I did, she started being nice after first period."
"Then at lunch, Devin grew a pair," Conner said.
"Yea I never knew he had a backbone when it came to Cassidy," Kira said.
"Oh by the way Tommy, Principal Randall wanted me to ask you if you would be a chaperon at the prom. It is in May."
"Tell her I'll let her know after things settle down."
"She said she did not want the kids to have a prom, but she was out voted last night at the board meeting."
"Sounds like her to not let us have any fun," Conner said.
"I agree Conner," Tommy said.
"Woo Dr. O and Conner agree on something? Take cover, I think the world is going to end," Ethan said as he mocked taking cover.
Everybody in the lab started laughing.
"Lena you have been quite," Tommy said.
"How did you know she is here?" Billy asked.
"Her laugh gives her away," Tommy said.
"We'll see you when you get back," Billy said.
"Ok bye guys."
"Bye Dr. O," the rangers said before Billy hung up.
"Is he still under the spell?" Lena asked.
"I collected some of his DNA while upstairs while you were fighting last night. After analyzing it, when he is not morphed he is his usual self, other wise since he was turned back to an evil ranger when the solar eclipse started, he should be back to normal after the Northern Lights are not visible here anymore."
"What about Katie and Trent?" Conner asked.
"I believe they are in the same situation," Billy said.
"So we just have to wait and hope that when Dr. O returns home he is 100% good," Ethan said.
