Aisha stood outside the youth center with Rocky, Adam, and Billy. All of them were locked outside too. "Wonder if Kimberly made it to her match on time?" she asked as she pulled out her cell phone and dialed Kimberly's cell phone.
Kimberly pulled out her cell phone after she felt it vibrate in her pocket. "Hello, Aisha," Kimberly greeted as she looked at the caller ID.
"Did you make it to the match on time?"
"No, I didn't make it," Kimberly answered. "The doors were locked and Tommy and I couldn't get in. My coach told us if we were late we'd be disqualified from the match."
"I'm really sorry about that," Aisha apologized. "I know you really worked hard for it."
"There will be other matches," Kimberly explained as her and Tommy got on a city bus. "Since I couldn't go to the match, Tommy and I are going to the mine."
Aisha's eye brows rose as soon as she heard them talk going to the mine. "Are you talking about the mine that is next to the Angel Grove construction sight?" she questioned.
"Yeah, that's the one," Kimberly answered as she waited for the bus to come to the next few stops. "Well, I will talk to you later, Tommy and I are almost there."
As soon as Kimberly got off the phone, she exchanged looks with Rocky, Adam, and Billy. "We have to go to the mine!" she exclaimed as she just shook her head. "I just saw on TV that someone has broken into the mine this afternoon and placed TNT crates, bombs, and dynamite all over the place and it's the same way with the construction site."
Rocky fished his hands through his pocket and pulled out the keys to his truck. "Everybody, follow me," he instructed as they ran to his truck and got inside. "I'm very familiar with the mine and the construction site-"
"-why is that?" Adam questioned as he fastened his seat belt. "You've never been there?"
"Yes, I have," Rocky revealed as he put the key in the ignition and put his foot on the gas petal. He left the parking lot and drove as fast as the speed limit would allow him. "I worked there this summer. I thought I wanted to be a construction worker and my dad could find me a part time job there. But, I found out that I didn't want to be a construction worker."
Billy was watching through the rear-view mirrors for oncoming traffic. He watched as the sky began to get dark and Rocky quickly turned on his car lights. "Rocky, how long do you think it will take for us to find them?" Billy asked as opened his bookbag and got an invention that he had created, which was a head band with a bright Blue Nite Ize Led Glow Stick flash on the left side. On the right side, there was 3W Blue Light LED Hand Light Stick. A long head strap went over the top of his head. On that strap, there was Zoomable Blue Light LED Flashlight. However, Billy had fixed that flash light to be removable and he got some waterproof, electric proof, dirt proof and wind proof materials and combined them together to make the flash light stronger so it could be used in different types of circumstances.
When it got pitch dark the blue glow in the dark material on the head band lit up. "Wow!" Aisha cried when we saw the Nite Ize Led Glow Stick flash start glowing as well as Billy's head band. "Where did you get that?"
"I invented these for my other team members but they left before I was able to finish them," Billy stated as he got out three more of his inventions that were glowing in black, red, and yellow. "I call it the Triple Use Flash light head band. The other two lights must be turned on to work. I've never tested it out before. So, maybe we could test them out while we search for Kimberly and Tommy."
"Oh my!" Aisha gasped when she noticed the top flash light was removeable. "This will come in handy at the mine!"
"Speaking of the mine," Rocky began as he stopped his struck. "We are there. We only have a five-minute walk."
Billy handed Rocky and Adam their Triple Use Flash Light Head Bands. "Everyone, I suggested all of us take the top flash light off and hold it in our hands," Billy started. "There is a strap you can use to tighten it around your wrists. This place is probably going to be guarded by people so, I also suggest we take our bookbags with us, so we can put them inside to avoid being seen. My father is a police officer says if anyone is caught in the mine or construction sight, they will be in serious trouble."
"Good thinking!" complimented Rocky as they all got out of the truck and left it the grocery store parking lot. They walked to the entrance and say there was police officers beginning to start guard patrolling. "Follow me. I know another way we can get in." They followed Rocky to a set of doors and he opened them. Once all of them were inside, he closed the doors behind him. All of them walked through a small tunnel and saw light up ahead.
"Are we there?" Aisha asked.
"Yes, we are," Rocky replied. They all stepped into the restricted land. TNT crates, dynamite, and bombs were all over the place. He caught a glimpse of a gold monkey walking around. "Okay, I think we need to be spilt up! Goldar is here and where ever he is there are putties."
"Aisha and I will morph," Billy suggested and we will watch Goldar and the putties. That way if there is any trouble, we can hold them off, long enough for you to find Tommy and Kimberly.
"Okay, Adam and I will go on and find Tommy and Kim," Rocky whispered as they carefully walked around through the mine."
Billy and Aisha noticed the putties and Goldar heading towards them. "It's morphin time!" Billy and Aisha shouted as they held their morphers in the air.
"Triceratops!"
"Saber-Toothed Tiger!"
Meanwhile, Kimberly and Tommy were in the mine tunnel. Usually, old walls are cover in moss and/or ivy. But, in this old abandoned mine tunnel, the old brick walls were just damp and crumbly. "Tommy, I don't think we've found anything," Kimberly whispered as they continued to move forward, their wind pants swishing together as they walked. The sound echoed throughout the deserted tunnel.
Tommy shinned his flash through the tunnel. A mine cart was a few feet from them and it was full of shinny gold coins. He slowly walked over to the cart and his eyes narrowed when he saw a strange looking coin. It didn't sparkle like the rest of the coins. Instead it had a green glow to it. Tommy reached out and grabbed the coin and stuck in this pocket. "Tommy, what did you find?" Kimberly asked as she walked over to him.
"Oh, nothing," he lied as he tried to keep a straight face. Now, he just wanted to leave the mine. "I doubt there is nothing else here. Let's go."
"Tommy, I saw you put something in your pocket," Kimberly corrected.
"I told you I didn't find anything!" Tommy snapped. There was no way he going to let that coin out of sight. He found it first and it was his sight. He tried to think of an excuse to cover up his lie. He remembered he had a Chapstick in his pants pocket. That would be the perfect way to cover up what he found. "I dropped my Chapstick. Okay? Are you satisfied now?!"
"Tommy, you didn't have to bite my head off," Kimberly replied as she noticed his eyes flash green, which was very strange. But, it was also late at night and she was tried from a long day. Perhaps her eyes were just play tricks on her.
He put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry," he apologized as she turned her head. "I guess I'm just disappointed because I was hoping to find something. Thanks, for coming and exploring the mine with me. Maybe we should go."
Goldar appeared several 100 feet behind them. "Let the games begin," he smirked as he struck a match and used it to light the TNT crate when he saw the red and black ranger walk into the tunnel.
"Guys, you have to get out of here," Rocky cried as he saw Kimberly and Tommy standing in the tunnel. "It's about to explode!"
Tommy couldn't believe it. He was seeing the red and black ranger in person. "We'll teleport you out of here," Adam said as they grabbed on to Tommy and Kimberly and teleported out of the cave.
Tommy drove Kimberly home and hurried back home, he was excited to look at the coin. When he arrived home, there were no lights on so he figured that his parents were already asleep. He inserted the key into the lock and enter the house. He turned the light on as he walked into the kitchen. On the refrigerator, he found a note.
Tommy,
Your father and I both had to go out of town for a few days for training. Our cell phones will be turn on if you need to call us for anything. We will see you Friday night.
Love,
Mom and Dad
His eyes flashed green again as he laid the note down on the table. "I can check my new coin out without anyone knowing I have it," he smiled as he let out an evil laugh. "And I can do whatever I want for the next few days and my parents will never know."
After eating a large ice-cream sundae covered in chocolate syrup, he went up to his room and closed the door. He pulled out a magnified glass to look at the coin. His eyes narrowed when he saw a dragon claw symbol on the coin. He knew it was the sign of a dragon.
Meanwhile, Rita and Zedd were spying on him. "He has the coin," she smiled as she watched Tommy looking at it through her telescope. "I want him to know what he is to do!"
Zedd started to spy on Tommy and see that he stuck his coin in his pocket and was headed out side to his swimming pool. "I've got an idea," he declared with an evil grin on his face. "I read in an interesting book that people can place items under water to show these visions or send them messages."
"Zeddy, that is prefect!" Rita cried as she got out her magic wand.
Back at the Oliver house Tommy looked at the clock and saw it was 12:45 PM. It was almost three hours past his curfew and he was never allowed to stay up late because his parents said he would be too tired to go to school. They always told him he had to have a shower and be ready for bed by ten. He grabbed a bottle of bubble bath and took it to his swimming pool. "I can finally take a bubble bath in my pool," Tommy smiled as he went out to the pool.
He felt his coin shake in his pocket like a cell phone on vibrate. Tommy pulled the coin out of his pocket and it was glowing green again. "Put me under the water," he heard in a woman's voice. Tommy stripped off his clothes laying them next to the pool and held the coin tightly in his hand and divided under the water. He could almost swear he saw holograms under the water.
Then heard the woman's voice again and saw a hologram of her. She looked the evil space witch that was shown on TV. "Tommy, I am Rita Repulsa." He held his breath as he looked straight at her. "I am your emprise and you will only serve me and my husband, Lord Zedd. You are my evil green ranger."
He felt waves of evil green energy go through his body and gain control of him. "How may I serve you?" Tommy asked in an evil voice.
"You will join me and help me destroy the power rangers," Rita answered. "And the city of Angel Grove, as well as anyone who stands in my way."
"Your wish is my command."
"You will command the dragon zord." He saw an image of a mechanical dragon destroying a city. "This zord will help you battle against the power ranger's mega zord."
"I won't let you down."
"You better not! If you do, you'll be greatly punished."
Tommy swam back up to the surface as he felt the coin shake in his hand. He stepped out of the water and felt more green energy waves go through his body. Seconds later, the green ranger stood in his place.
