Chapter 6
Tommy and everyone else ran down the stairs. They all stopped behind Hayley who was sitting at the main computer in Tommy's basement. It also served as the Dino Rangers Command Center. The only thing that Tommy had not accomplished was teleportation.
"Hayley, where is he?" Tommy asked. He had placed his hand on her shoulder as he leaned into look at the computer screen.
"In some dark dimension, it is close to the moon. It looks like the one from the old files you had me download." She said as she continued to type stuff in. She had never seen anything like this before.
"I bet it is one of Rita's or Zedd's." Jason said. He knew that those dimensions were something not to be messed with. He also knew that the Dino Rangers had never encountered anything like this.
"You're right Jason. The good thing is that three of us have been there." Tommy said. He knew that if it was one of the few that they had been in it would be easy but if it was a dimension that they had never been in then it would be difficult. They could do it though. They just needed a way in and a way out.
"You mean were trapped there but which one. You know they each had hundreds. He could be in any number of them." Trini said. She was worried about Connor. He was not a great Red yet but he would be in time. He just needed the chance.
"Trini's right. We each were in a different one every time we were captured." Kim stated. She knew that each time that they entered one of the dimensions it was a different one. They had different elements to them as well.
"That is true Kim but we have to try. Hayley, can you locate which one he is in?" Tommy asked. He was no longer bent over Hayley. He looked at Kim and they shared a worried look. They still shared the same thoughts after all this time.
"Yeah give me a minute. I should be able to." Hayley said not noticing the looks that Kim and Tommy shared. Jason and Trini smiled at each other and grabbed each other hands. They loved how the events were unfolding before them.
Everyone was quietly talking when Hayley found the right dimension. It took a little under an hour for her to find it. She was so excited that she hit Ethan in the shoulder.
"Sorry Ethan. I found Connor though. The only problem is that I can find a way in but there is no way out." She could not figure that part out. It was a mystery to her. She had not seen anything like it before. She knew that there had to be way out.
"What? How can that be?" Kim asked. She knew that there was always a way out. Billy had built the Port-a-coms for them to get in and out of the dark dimensions.
"I'm not sure. Right now though you can go in but not come back." Hayley said matter of factly. She was trying to not let Kim being there bother her. She knew that Kim being here might help Tommy deal with Connor missing.
"Okay so what do we do?" Kira asked. She, Ethan, and Trent came to stand next to Tommy. They were ready to go after Connor. They knew that time was of the essence.
"We stay here until Hayley can find a way out. I am not sending any of you in there without a way home." Tommy stated. He had thought about it and knew that he would not send them in without having a way to get all of them home. He knew that they would throw a fit but he would not budge on this. He couldn't afford too. He already had one missing ranger. He did not another one.
"What? But it is Connor." Kira, Trent, and Ethan say together. They were in shock that Dr. O would say something like that. He had never told them not to do something before.
"I know but no one goes in until we find a way out." Tommy said. He refused to look at Jason, Trini, and Kim. He knew that they were in shock over his words.
"Go upstairs guys I need to be alone with your Dr. O." Kim said. She had been watching the entire exchange. She knew that Tommy was being irrational about this. He had never acted like this before.
"Okay but try to talk him out of this." Kira said. She hoped that Kim could talk Dr. O into letting them go. She was worried about Connor.
"Jason, please entertain them for a while." Kim said to her big brother. She needed alone time so that she could scream at him.
"Okay Kim, come on Trini let's tell them about our old days." Jason said. He did not want to be in Tommy's shoes right now. Kim was worse than Trini when she was really mad. She had only been that mad a few times and this was one of those times.
Jason and Trini lead the younger Rangers upstairs. They knew the look on Kim's face. She was going to lay into Tommy. They almost felt sorry for Tommy but they also knew that he was wrong to hold back the rangers. Zordon would have never held them back. They knew that as Power Rangers others safety came before their own.
