Chapter 21
"Connor, are you alright?" Tommy asked as he came up to his Red.
"I'm fine Dr. O." Connor said as he noticed Kim behind Tommy.
"Oh, this is Kim. She is the Original Pink Ranger." Tommy said as he turned to look once again at the dimension that was once his home. He knew that Zedd and Rita were behind Connor being captured. They did not want Connor. They wanted him. He just needed to figure out how they had been turned back evil.

"Hayley you better hide. Trini is on her way back here and she knows that you called Kat." Billy said as he got off the phone with Rocky. He knew that Jason had Rocky to call since Trini was with him.
"I am not afraid of her." Hayley said as she stood up to get ready for the Dinos to come back. She needed to check the bikes to make sure that they were still working properly.
"You should be." Billy said as he locked in on Connor.
He noticed that Tommy and Kim were with him. He knew that the dimension was not a place that Tommy wanted to be again. He also knew where he had seen the temple doors. He had heard Kim describe them in detail several times.
He had also found the file that was in the Command Center backup files. It was the door to that dreaded dimension of Rita's. She had fashioned the entrance so that she could trap people in there. He hoped that Tommy could make it through his worst nightmare again. He did have his strength with him this time. Jason was right Tommy would make it out because of one petite brunette that loved him with all of her heart.
"Here they come." Hayley said as the bay doors opened and the Dinos with Jason and Trini behind them. She also heard the front door open and a stampede came down the stairs. Everyone was running to watch Trini confront this Hayley person.

"I know who she is. A woman named Rita Repulsa told me all about your past life." Connor said as he watched his teacher come to a stop in front of him. He was a little upset at him for not telling him or the others about his past life as a ranger.
"Tommy we need to find the way out." Kim said as she came to stand behind him. She looked at Connor and knew why Kira liked the boy. He reminded her of Tommy when he was that age. He was also every bit of a Red. He had a little of Jason, Rocky, and Tommy in him. She smiled at the thought of what Connor would be like when he was older. Kira didn't stand a chance at resisting him.
"I know Kim but did you say Rita Repulsa?" Tommy asked Connor. He could see the hurt in Connor's eyes. He knew that he had some explaining to do.
"Yes. She told me that she wanted you and knew that if she captured one of your rangers Kim here would make you come after them. She was very sure of Kim getting you to come after me. I also have a few questions about how many colors you have been but right now I want to get out of here." Connor said as he looked at both of the rangers in front of him.
He had just noticed that they were in ranger suits. Kim was in Pink but Dr. O was in White instead of Black. He was confused but he would wait until later to ask.
"Okay. I know that this is weird to you but I will explain it to you later." Tommy said as he walked around trying to find the secret exit that he had used as the Green Ranger. He could only use it when he was morphed or if there were two rangers there.
"Tommy, what are you looking for? You know a way out of here." Kim said as she watched Tommy check every bar. He did not touch them but he got very close.
"There is a secret door that only I know of. I used it when I was the Evil Green Ranger." Tommy said as he finally found the right bar. The only problem was Rita showed up at the same time.

"Okay everyone step back!" Trini yelled as she came into the basement. She noticed that Jason, Rocky, and Adam were standing in front of Hayley. Everyone else was against the back wall watching the scene unfold.
"Trini, we need her right now. She is helping Billy run things right now." Jason said trying to reason with his wife.
He saw that her eyes were glowing a very menacing color of red. He thought it was funny that when everyone else got mad their eyes glowed the color that they were but not Trini's. They had always glowed red.
"I will help Billy or Ethan will. He is a Blue too. We do not need her help." Trini said as she tried to get to Hayley once more. Jason blocked her attack with ease. He knew his wife well.
"No, Tri. Tommy would be upset that his best friend from college is dead. Kim would be mad at you for upsetting Tommy and she would me made at me for letting you do it. I would like not to feel the wrath of Kim today. She has faced many demons today and I will like to live unlike her demons." Jason said. He also hit Rocky in the stomach because he was laughing his head off.
"Hey! Not fair, you know I love it when Trini's eyes glow." Rocky protested. He knew that Jason would do more damage if he continued to laugh so he stopped laughing aloud but inside he was laughing so hard that his sides hurt.
"Rocky, you know your little bag that you wanted to bring that I let you. It will be thrown out one of the zords." Jason said as he watched Rocky's face close up. He nodded and turned back to his wife. She was not taking this very well.
"Jason, do you want to sleep outside tonight? Because if you do not let me near her that is where you are going." Trini said as she tried once again to get to Hayley.
"Listen, I am pulling rank now. Stand down or you will scrub the zords until they shine." Jason said as everyone in the room looked at him. They understood then that he wanted to draw Trini's wrath away from Hayley. They hoped he knew what he was doing.
"Listen, Rex you ever try to pull rank on me and they will not find your body. I am not scrubbing zords and I am not standing down." Trini said very calmly to him.
He knew that he was in trouble since she was not screaming at him. He hoped that Tommy and Kim would come back today or they might find him dead.
"Baby, listen we need her right now. If after Tommy and Kim get back you would to kill Hayley you can." Jason bargained. He knew that he had made a mistake when he called her baby. Her eyes narrowed and she clenched her fists.
"Trini, Jason did not mean that slip of the tongue. Come on girl we have a party to plan." Aisha said as she walked up to Trini and wrapped her arm around her shoulders. She led Trini upstairs to unload the cars. She kept a steady stream of chatter so that Trini could somewhat cool off. She knew that the party would come first over hurting Hayley.
"That was close. Jason, bro listen I know that you fought Goldar today and survived without powers but facing Trini man I don't think Tommy's that brave." Zack said as he came up behind to slap Jason on the back.
"Zack-man! It's been too long man. How's the record company?" Jason asked as everyone came off the wall.
The Dinos once again took the couch with Rocky sitting on one arm and Adam on the other. Tanya had gone upstairs to help Trini and Aisha with setting up. Billy and Hayley walked back to the computers.
"It's good. What about you? I mean besides wanting a death wish from your wife." Zack said with a laugh. He and Jason had dragged two chairs over to the couch so that they could sit down. The only one left standing was Kat. No one had spoken to her.
"Well I was trying to draw her fire. Anyway, the dojo's doing good. If I can convince Kim to help I want to expand it to include gymnastics." Jason said as he finally noticed Kat standing near the wall.
"Well it sounds great. If you need money let me know." Zack said.
"Well I'm glad that everyone is peachy but please who are all these people. I know that they are former rangers but I need names." Kira said. She knew that she sounded like Connor but no one was introducing anyone.
"Sorry, Kira, kay this is Zack the Original Black, Adam the second Black and Zeo and the first Turbo Green, Rocky second Red and Zeo Blue, Kat the second, Zeo, and first Turbo Pink, the one that diverted my wife was Aisha second Yellow, the one that went with them was Tanya Zeo and first Turbo Yellow." As Jason introduced all of them, they raised their hands except for Tanya and Aisha.
"Wow, so many past rangers. Connor is going to flip. He will think that this is the coolest thing." Ethan said.
"Yeah, and guys this is Kira in Yellow, Ethan in Blue, and Trent in White. Connor is their Red and Tommy is the Black." Jason said.
"Awe man Tommy had to get my color too. I mean it's not like he doesn't have his own colors." Zack whined as everyone busted out laughing except for Kat. She was still standing by the wall not doing anything.

"Tommy, it's nice to see you again. I am glad that you have finally come home."
