During the gig the two men next to Ethan whispered to each other, between songs. After the gig Ethan, Lena, and the two men walked up to Kira.
"Kira, you remember my Uncle Zack right?" Ethan asked.
"Yes I do. How are you?"
"I am good. This here is my cousin Curtis and we are going to be starting our own record label. Our plan is to launch it later this year," Zack said.
"Are you interested in signing me?" Kira asked.
"That is why we came tonight. We ask that you finish school, and all commitments first," Zack said.
That must be his way of telling me he wants to wait until my ranger days are done. Kira thought.
What is he talking about? Does he know she is a ranger? Lena thought.
"A reason why we are starting the new label is because I just left one that I disagreed with. They like to change an artist image when they sign. That will not be our goal. We will want you to be you, not somebody else," Curtis said.
"That sounds great, but I don't know what my parents will say," Kira said.
"I am sure they will accept our terms," Zack said.
"We would rather have artist that finished high school then start their careers. While some people in the industry try to find a fresh young face, even if the person should still be in high school, that will not be our goal," Curtis said.
"Aren't you taking a risk by wanting to sign an unknown as your first artist?" Lena asked.
"Maybe, but I know that any friend of Ethan's that wants to be a singer, and a student of Tommy's, has a good head on their shoulders. Besides, we are going to have a whole team who has the same goal as we do," Zack said.
Maybe I should tell Lena that Uncle Zack knows that we are the current team of rangers. Ethan thought.
"Can I get back with you on my decision?" Kira asked.
"Of course," Zack said.
Curtis's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and said he had to take it.
When he left the group Zack said to Lena, "By the way, I know."
"You know what?" She asked.
"It's ok, he knows about us," Ethan said.
"We aren't serious yet," Lena said.
"He did not tell me that, but I figured that out as soon as he introduced me to you, and his mom mentioned you," Zack said.
"He is an old friend of Dr. O and Billy's from high school," Ethan said.
"He used his dance moves a lot back then," Kira said.
"Ethan, why didn't you tell me?" Lena asked.
"Don't you think she would have wonder why one of your teachers, and two other adults, that you know, would be at the wedding? By the way, have you got fitted for the tux yet?" Zack asked.
"Crap, thanks for the reminder. I hope I can do it tomorrow," Ethan said.
"I guess you must have forgot or were 'busy' when your dad went. It would not look right if one usher was in a tux and the other one is not. By the way Lena, purple and starting out good, that is different. Curtis does not know about my past, or you guys," Zack said.
"Gotcha," Lena said.
That night Elsa and Mesogog were trying to work on a new plan.
"Turning them evil sounded like a good idea," Mesogog said.
"I got it! If we can not turn them evil, we will just make evil clones," Elsa said.
"Go on."
"The rangers will be in detention because the clones will frame them and while the rangers are busy, the clones will pose as the real rangers and start destroying the city."
"I like it. How do we create the clones?"
"I'll sneak into the school and steal photos of them. Then we will put them in the Geno-Randomizer. A group of Tryrandones will become clones."
"I like it, now do it!"
"Yes master."
Elsa teleported right into her office. She found pictures of Conner, Ethan, Trent, Kira, Katie, and Lena. She took them back and within seconds, evil versions of the rangers in civilian form appeared.
"How may we serve you?" Evil Conner asked.
"You will break into the high school and vandalize it. Make sure that you are caught on the security cameras. After that is done, you will come back here. After school on Monday, you will show up morphed in town and start causing havoc."
"It will be our pleasure, "Evil Katie said.
Sunday afternoon while the real rangers were at the Cyberspace Cafe, the clones were at the school doing as they were told. Evil Conner and Katie even decided to put on a naughty show for the cameras. Evil Trent and Kira decided to do their own naughty show. Evil Ethan and Lena followed with their own.
"Excellent," Elsa hissed when the clones returned.
The next morning, the rangers arrived at the school shocked to see it vandalized.
"What happened here?" Conner asked.
"You mean you don't know?" Principal Randall asked.
"No we don't," Trent said.
"Then all of you, my office now!" She ordered.
She held a DVD in one hand.
"The security system caught the six of you here yesterday vandalizing and doing unmentionable acts."
She put the DVD into a DVD player and showed some of what the clones did the day before. She fast forward the naughty stuff.
I don't think I can talk myself out of this one. This has to be the work of Mesogog. Lena thought.
I guess Elsa decided if she could not get us turned evil, she might as well make evil clones. Conner thought.
There is no way Conner and I would ever do anything like that. Katie thought.
"The six of you have detention this afternoon. Now go to your class and torture Dr. Oliver!" She barked.
The teens were in shocked in what they saw. They were in a zombie like state going to their first period class.
"It's about time the six of you showed up," Tommy said.
"Sorry Dr. O we were in Principal Randell's office," Conner said.
After class, Lena wrote a note explaining why they were in the principles office.
She handed it to Tommy and he said, "Tell the others that I will only pretend to be disappointed in them. I believe that none of you did what you are accused of."
Fortunately for the rangers, Tommy was the teacher in charge of detention for the week.
"Is it just me, or does anyone else find it strange that we are all here?" Ethan asked.
"Hum let's see. The six of you are accused of vandalizing the school and performing public displays of affection on school grounds. Not to mention it was all on tape. I have not seen the tape, nor do I want to," Tommy said.
"Sounds like a Mesogog scheme to me," Trent said.
"Let's see if we can get anything on the radio, Tommy said.
"Good thing Cassiady and Devin are not here," Conner said.
When Tommy turned on the radio, nothing was being reported. Detention was almost over when a news report came on.
"How are we downtown if we are here? Even if that was us, why would we be attacking people and destroying the city?" Conner asked.
"This does have Mesogog written all over it," Tommy said.
"We got a few minutes left anyways, so you guys go ahead. I'll be with you after I am done here," Tommy said.
The rangers made their way to a private spot outside the school where they morphed. By the time, the rangers arrived at the battle scene, Devin was filming the clones destroying everything in their way. When Cassiady and Devin realized what was going on, the real rangers were battling their clones.
"Since nobody else is around, this is going to make me famous," Cassiady said.
It took a single hit from the weapons for the clones to show their selves as Tyrandones. Billy was at the Cyberspace Cafe when he heard about the battle.
Deja vu. He thought.
"Did you just hear what I heard?" Hayley asked.
"Yes and it sounds a lot like something that happened back in the day."
The Tyrandonres disappeared just as Tommy caught up with them. Cassaidy tried to get an interview with them.
"Please stop, we do not to give out interviews," Conner said.
"Who said this was about you? This is about my chance to interview you."
"If you were a real reporter, then you would respect our wishes," Tommy said.
"He's right, come on Cass," Devin said.
"Fine let's go."
As soon as the two of them were out of sight, the rangers un morphed. The teens went to the Cyberspace Cafe.
"So Kira, are you going to sign with the record label?" Hayley asked.
"I am not sure yet. I want to, but I don't know if I am ready. Think goodness they want to wait until I am graduated from high school."
"That and think goodness somebody knows what you go through," Ethan said.
