Ch 2

Outside the Naval base, a group of high school students from California were on a field trip to the Dinosaur exibit at the Smithsonian. A man with spikey hair in his early 30's named Dr. Tommy Oliver notice that some of his students in his science class was getting too distracted by all of the other awesome stuff. All of this small talk was happening when he was talking, so he had to keep order.

"Am I boring you with the tour at hand?" Tommy asked one student in yellow.

Kira, one of his female students whom always wears yellow answered. "No, Dr. O, we were just too excited about looking around and checking out other exibits."

All 3 of her male friends chimed in as well. "Yeah, Doc. We're listening to you." Conner said with some hesitation.

"We was just doing some planning ahead, that's all for afterwards." Ethan added.

Trent Fernadez, her boyfriend always knew when to fold when it comes to their science teacher being in charge and his expectations. "Continued on with your lesson."

"Alright then." He looked around his entire class. "Hey, kids..listen up, I know that this place is really cool to look around, right?"

Some of his students nodded as others replied. "Yes, Dr. O."

"So, here's the plan, you can explore other places in small groups up to 4 students each on your own after you have finish taking notes of the tour for your senior projects, ok?"

"Yes, sir."

A Smithsonian tour guide took over guiding the class through the exibit for a little bit as Tommy was making plans to meet up with his former dormmate from college later tonight when a redheaded woman snuck up from behind and hooked her arm to his.

"So...who was that on the phone earlier, Tommy?" The redhead name Hailey Viktor asked her boyfriend.

"Tony DiNozzo, he was my dormmate in college. I told you about him a few times in the past." Tommy answered back.

"Oh...wait..that Tony DiNozzo, the "Duke of Frat parties" that you told me stories about?"

Tommy sighed. "Yep, the one and the only."

"Well, it's a good thing that I came along, or you would've been really messed up."

"Oh very funny, Hailey, I was a bit messed up way before I met him."

Hailey continued her 20 questions. "So, what does he do nowadays?"

"He has a government job here in DC."

"I see. Well, we are going to meet him tonight for dinner?"

"Of course, and I was planning on introducing the kids to him as well."

"Does he have a girlfriend or wife by now?" Hailey continued.

"I don't know...maybe not, due to his track record when it comes to dating relationships."

Then without a moment's notice, a green swirling vortex appeared and a black armor-cladded warrior named Zeltrax and about 2 dozen saurian-type footsoldiers stepped out into the Smithsonian. The public was in panic as some of the security guards try to stop them on their own. They were no match for the Tyrannodrones and were knock-out cold except for one guard whom dragged his injured body to a nearby alarm button and was secussful to call for back-up. As the alarm when off, Zeltrax ordered the Tyrannodrones to capture certain teenage civilians to bring back within. As he was doing it, Tommy knew the only way to keep his students safe is to sent the others rangers to handle the matter while not to reveal thier ranger identies.

Tommy looked at Hailey, then the kids. "You and the kids go, I'll get the class back safely to the hotel."

"Alright..." Hailey said, then joined the kids. "No morphing, there are civilians still in here."

"Right." Trent replied.

Zeltrax was sucessful in his mission except for one of the Tyrannodrones was having trouble becuase the female student who wasn't going so easily. "Let go of me!" She shouted and broke free and pulled a spear off from the nearby wall and lunged it at the Tyrannodrone, killing it with one blow.

As the Tyrannodrone was lying in front of her, Zeltrax ordered more Tyrannodrones to capture this uncooperative student. 3 drones were upon her when a blast of a sonic scream knocked them over.

"What...was that?" The female student wonder when Kira ran to her side.

"Are you alright?" Kira asked softly.

The female student got back on her feet. "I'll be fine, what was that thing?"

"I don't know and I don't want to find out." Kira told her. She knew it was a Tyrannodrone, but she didn't need a civilian to know that, so she acted clueless about the situtation as well. "Get out of here...now! I'm checking for anyone else who was left behind."

The female student nodded and ran out away of the area. Scarred, she pulled out her cell phone and dailed 911. The other male rangers met up with Kira after they took out the Tyrannodrones, they had a few bumps and bruises, but still in one piece. But it was too late, Zeltrax left with about 9 students from thier class as trophies for his master, Mesogog.

Trent was worried for Kira. "Are you ok, Kira?"

"I'll be fine..." Kira said with her hand wrapped around her neck whispering. "My throat will be sore for a while."

"Well, if that's all, then we're good."

Conner on the other hand was raising his hands up in the air over his head. "Um, dudes, this isn't the right time for your lovey-dovey time."

"Why?" Trent asked. Conner pointed at the armed security guards pionting thier guns at them, which made all of them raised their arms. "Oh, I see."

Back at the bullpen in NCIS HQ, Gibbs' phone rang. He answered it in his usual manner. "Yeah, Gibbs, speak." Then the person on the other end of the phona call explained recent events to Gibbs and he just gave a nod while pulling out his hoster and badge out of his desk drawer and put it on his desk. Gibbs got up half-way, then wrapped up the phone call. "Fine, thanks." He hung up the phone and looked at his team as he clipped his hoster on his belt. "Suit up, we got a homocide and a missing persons call from the Smithsonian."

McGee, Ziva and Tony just looked and each other. "What?"

"You heard me, let's go." He said as Gibbs was already at the elevator holding back the door.

"On your six, boss." Tony said as he quickly grabbed his bag.

Gibbs then looked at McGee. "Call Ducky to follow us."

McGee nodded. "Yes, sir."

"Isn't it a missing persons and a homocide count as 2 different cases?" Ziva asked.

"Usually, yet this turn out to have some curveballs thrown in this case." Tony said as he made a baseball reference.

Ziva just gave Tony a wierd stare, but directed her question to McGee. "You Americans have weird analogies, yes?"

"Yeah, then there's the "Book of anologies according to Tony DiNozzo"." McGee responded as he was the last one to enter the elevator.

When Gibb's team arrived to the Smithsonian, Gibbs went directly to the security guard in charge when the incendent happen. The same security guard told him about the four high school students that were at the scene during the attack and the abduction of their fellow classmates. Gibbs knew that these kids weren't going to be cooperative with just him questioning them, so he struck a deal with them that no charges will be made against them if they come with him quietly back to NCIS HQ. The kids talked it over and agreed but they must let their science teacher know where they were going, so he can deal with the bail.

"Fine, come on." Gibbs told the kids. When he met up with the rest of his team, their faces were of confusion and shock rolled into one. "Who do we have here, Ducky?" He asked.

Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, Medical Examiner was baffled when Gibbs came forward. "It's not a who, Jethro...it's a what." He lifted the sheet to reveal a dead Tyrannodrone. "I am afraid to guess, but it maybe it is a mutation of a reptile of sorts. I'll find out more when I open it up."

Tony couldn't resist but to hum the theme to the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when he heard the words "reptile" and "mutation" in the same sentence. McGee just looked at Tony while shaking his head a little. "You are unbelievable. Humming a cartoon theme in a middle of a crime scene...really?"

"I make references that are relevent to the situation at hand." Tony said in defense.

"DiNozzo, bring these kids back with us for questioning." Gibbs ordered Tony.

"What about their science teacher?" Tony asked.

"He has been informed. He knows where to meet them."

"Yes, boss." Tony said. He murmured something to himself. "I can't believe that I'm stuck on babysitter duty."

"I heard that, DiNozzo." Gibbs said heading out of the Smithsonian.

"Right, boss." Then Tony turned his attention towards the kids. "So...What are your names, so I can confirm it with your science teacher."

Ethan started the introduction. "Well...I'm Ethan James."

"Trent Fernadez." Trent said as he introduced his girlfriend for her dued to her soar throat. "And this is Kira Ford."

Kira was rubbing her throat. "Does anyone have a coughdrop or something?" she asked softly. Ziva had one in her pocket, a honey-lemon flavored. She pulled it out and gave it to Kira. "Thank you." she whispered.

"You're welcome." Ziva responed.

"And I am the wonderfully awesome Conner McKnight." Conner said concedely.

McGee whispered to Ziva in reaction to Conner's introduction. "Oh great, now it seems that we have two Tonys at our mists."

Ziva smirked a little."I think one Tony DiNozzo is enough."
