Their Children

Chapter Ten: A Ranger Reunion

"You know, when I mentioned getting together, I didn't exactly mean like this." Kimberly stated, sitting down next to Aisha on the sofa.

"Girl, tell me about it." Aisha replied, then frowned as she glanced out the window; viewing the blue sky. "Although, I don't know if it was such a wise idea to wait until morning."

"Jason and the guys thought it would be best to wait until daybreak to look for the kids." Stated Kat, she was sitting across from Aisha in a chair.

Trini walked into the room, taking her seat on the other side of Kim. She nodded her head at Kat's statement. "Yes, Billy said that with the curfew, going out last night would have been way too risky. I'm sure the kids were smart enough to get to a safe place before curfew. I just wish I knew why they left home."

"You know," Tanya began, "I don't recall seeing Olivia at all yesterday. I wish she told us where she was going. She just left. That is so unlike her. She just packed her things and left without a goodbye, or a note." Tanya placed a hand on her stomach. She was sitting beside Cassie on the love seat.

Cassie looked at the women around the room. "I know what you mean." She told Tanya. "Marcus would never… this is just so unlike him. I don't understand why. And Katie's taking it so hard, since he wasn't home to greet us. I…, I don't know how to tell her that he's left." The room fell into an easy silence. Everyone was too busy worrying about their missing kids to talk.

--

While the former female rangers were in the living the room, their non-missing children were amusing themselves in the entertainment room. Katie pulled out a stack of UNO cards she found. She, Andy, and Jessie sat around the coffee table playing cards. As they played, Katie thought a little conversation would help them get to know each other. "My family and I just moved here about a month ago."

Jessie looked up from her cards. "Really? So did mine. How about you Andy?"

Andy just shook his head. "I've lived here all my life." He then placed down a card. "You know, this is the power ranger's home town." He whispered, as though he were telling a secret.

Jessie's eyes became large. "Really? That is so cool. Are there any rangers around?"

Katie frowned, "Don't be silly. Lord Xian and his army long since wiped them out." She placed a card down, causing Andy to grab from the deck. Jessie looked put down by her remark.

Andy frowned as well, "I don't like this Lord Xian guy one bit. I hope the rangers will come back." Katie nodded her head in agreement.

"Uno!" Jessie shouted. Andy and Katie both looked up at her in surprise. She grinned, placing down her last card. "Uno out."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The front door opened as six men walked into the house. Kim stood from her seat and walked over to her husband. "Did you find anything Tommy?"

Tommy looked at his wife and shook his head sadly. "Not a trace. No one has seen them." He sighed rubbing the back of his neck.

Jason sat on a vacant chair in the room. "Not since the day before yesterday at the juice bar." Kat stood up to sit on the chair beside Jason.

Rocky noticed Kat moving and took the chair she had previously been sitting in. Now being closer to his wife, he grabbed her hand nearest to him. "Apparently it was before the earthquake. The earthquake no one told us about. It was not on the news and Tiffany didn't say anything about it when she came home that day." He squeezed Aisha's hand when he noticed it shaking.

Trini scooted closer to Aisha into Kim's abandoned seat to make room for Billy to sit beside her. Billy smiled at his wife in gratitude. He looked around the room noticing Tommy and Adam bringing in chairs from the kitchen. Once Zack, Adam, Tommy, and Kim were seated, Billy decided to continue the conversation. "Something is obviously wrong. Our kids could not have simply disappeared."

Jason decided to turn on the news since he was closest to the set. "Maybe something will show up." He turned his attention back to the occupants in the room. "Whatever happened to them, we know it was premeditative. They couldn't have been kidnapped, because they packed a large quantity of personal items."

"Jason's right. They hadn't even known each other two days before yesterday. So the real question is why. What reason could they have possibly had to leave? And together?" Zack voiced.

Adam nodded his head quietly, "I agree. Should we notify the authorities?"

"I think we'll have to. We don't know if this is Lord Xian related. And even if it is, what could we do about it? We're not rangers anymore." Aisha pointed out, grasping onto her husband's hand.

"You know what's strange." Tommy started, with a hand stroking his chin. "They had a gathering here the day before yesterday. What are the odds that our kids disappear together the day after they meet; Most of them for the first time. What are we missing here?"

Everyone takes in what Tommy has said, and realized he's right. They were missing something vital. And that something was what connected their kids to their disappearance.

Kimberly stood up, "I'm going to prepare some tea for everyone."

Aisha stood up with her, "I'll go help you." Aisha and Kim both left for the kitchen.

Kat stood up, "I think I'll go check on the kids." She walked down the hall.

The remaining rangers sat in silence while Jason flipped through a few news channels.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Everyone was once again sitting in the living room enjoying their tea. They were mostly quiet and in deep thought. Well, all but one. "This is ridiculous! Why are we just sitting around, doing nothing?!" Rocky exclaims jumping out of his seat.

"Rocky…" Aisha tries soothingly, while clutching onto her tea. But she knows that she's just as anxious as he.

Everyone looks up at Rocky. Jason tries to calm his friend. "Rocky, calm down. We-"

"Don't you dare tell me to calm down." Rocky snapped at his long time friend. "Don't, just don't. My little girl, my… our children are missing. This Lord Xian… this… how are we supposed to protect them if we don't know where they are? I just… I don't know anymore." Rocky sighs and slumps down into his seat. Aisha takes his hand, understanding her husband completely.

They were all feeling the same way as Rocky. Tommy felt he needed to speak up. However he didn't know what to say. He felt Kim wrap her arms around him. "Maybe there's a place we haven't looked. Angel Grove has changed over the years. It's bigger."

Jason looked at Tommy. "You're right bro, it is. But I think we are going to need some help. We are going to have to contact the AGPD."

"Yeah, I'm with Jason. The police should be able to help." Zack stated as he stood up. "I think we should go to the police department to report this. It's better done in person."

Jason stood up with him. "Yeah, sounds like a plan." Rocky suddenly shot out of his seat. Jason looked at him. "You coming down to the precinct with us Rock?" But Rocky didn't say anything, just continued to stare past Jason. "Rocky?" Jason asked then he noticed everyone else's attention diverted behind him. Jason turned around and immediately needed to sit down. He noticed Zack had done the same in his peripheral vision.

Everyone was staring intently at the television set. More specifically, they were watching the breaking news report. Apparently the news studio got their hands on the some unseen footage. A citizen, who wants to remain anonymous, gave a video recording to the studio. They were playing it now. "You have got to be kidding me." Rocky stated, still standing. Everyone looked to him. "Please tell me you're seeing what I'm seeing."

"Of course we are Rocky. The Power Rangers have returned." Adam responded, confused as to why his friend did not seem happy about the news.

Rocky just shook his head. He grabbed the remote from the center table and pressed rewind. Good thing Tommy and Kim had TiVo. He pressed pause. "Okay, pay very close attention." He pressed play. A few seconds later he pressed pause a second time. "Please tell me you saw that."

Everyone looked confused, "Rocky, we see the Rangers. What are you trying to show us?" Aisha asked her husband endearingly.

Rocky looked around the room. "Come on Billy man. Tell me you're seeing this." Rocky pleaded.

Billy thought for a few seconds, and then his eyes took on a new light. "I see." He looked at Rocky. "I assume that you are referring to the color variations."

A large smile grew onto Rocky's face. However, the rest of the parents were still lost, and made as much known. "Okay, are two going to clue us in any time now?" Kat asked.

Billy nodded his head to Rocky. "You're the one who noticed it first. You tell them."

Rocky nodded his head. He rewound the news and replayed it. "Okay guys, pay attention to the number of rangers you see." After each of the rangers was shown, he pressed pause. "Get it now?"

Trini was slightly confused still. "Okay, so there are seven new rangers."

"Exactly and when has there ever been seven rangers on a team; an original team?" Rocky asked.

"He's right. There has never been more than five to an original team. Any extras were added later." Cassie commented.

Tommy looked at Rocky. "Are you thinking what I think you are thinking?"

Rocky sat down. "How many of our kids are missing?"

"Okay, let's not jump to conclusions. This might just be a coincidence." Tanya tried to reason. She didn't want to get her hopes up, if they were wrong.

Adam on the other hand was beginning to agree with Rocky. "It does seem like a huge coincidence though."

"You know, I recall Rita causing a slight earthquake at the Youth Center when we were younger." Jason said.

Kim looked at her big brother. "Yes, that's true. And once everyone was out, we were teleported to the Command Center." She stated, and then shook her head. "But that doesn't mean that-"

"Maybe if I replay it, let you see them fighting, you'll see what I see." Rocky said cutting Kim off. He replayed it from the beginning, but this time he did not stop it. They watched what was recorded of the fight. They saw the pink ranger dimorph, but couldn't see her face. And they watched the black ranger teleport her out. They saw him rejoin the fight. Then they watched the battle end with the rangers leaving. Rocky paused it. "I can't really say anything for the rest of you, but I, and I'm sure you noticed it as well Aish, those rangers are our kids. I can tell by the fighting style of the pink ranger." He squeezed Aisha's hand. "That was my little girl. That was Tiffany."

Aisha looked at her husband worriedly. "What was wrong with her Rocky? Why did she faint?"

"I don't know babe." He said, and then looked at everyone else in the room. "But I'm willing to bet that if Tiff's the pink ranger, then your kids are rangers as well."

"He's right. The way the black ranger moved; I know that was Marcus. He takes after his old man after all." Zack grinned. He suddenly turned his expression serious. "But one thing's for sure, we can't get the law enforcement involved." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay, so what do we do now?" Cassie asked, looking around for an answer.

"We need some answers. Right now I think we should go to the grounds of the old Command Center. Check around what's left of the Command Chamber. Maybe we'll find some clues." Tommy suggested. Jason, Rocky, Zack, Kim, and Aisha volunteered to go along with Tommy.

"I have my old communicator in my lab. I'll see if I can get it working, maybe I'll find a working frequency. They teleported, so the morphing grid must be back online." Billy stated. Trini and Adam offered their assistance.

"That'd be great. Thanks man." Tommy said.

"We'll stay here with the kids." Kat stated. Cassie and Tanya nodded their heads in agreement.

"Okay. We'll meet back here in four hours. That should be enough time for a thorough search. See you guys then." Tommy said, and then everyone, with the exception of Kat, Cassie, and Tanya, left the house.
