Logan, Tommy and Zack were in the youth center a few days later Logan was lifting some weights and Zack and Tommy were sparring. Logan put the weights into the rack, drank from his water bottle, and watched the two on the mat.
He watched as Tommy threw a double roundhouse kick then hopped back as Zack threw a jumping front kick. Tommy threw a few punches then a roundhouse then another punch. Then he ducked as Zack threw a spin kick then leapt up and did a jumping spin kick and when he landed Zack landed a light punch in his gut.
Hopping up and down they switched positions then he threw a roundhouse then spun around and threw a roundhouse. He then dropped down and swept Zack's legs out from under him.
Smiling Logan smiled as he walked over as Zack started laughing, "You ok man," Tommy said, as he and Zack grasped hands.
"Yeah good move," Zack said, as Tommy pulled him to his feet and Logan joined them.
"Hey you weren't too bad yourself," Tommy said.
"So what's up with the dance?" Zack asked Tommy.
He suddenly looked very uncomfortable. "I haven't asked her yet," he said.
"What," Zack said, turning to face him.
"I don't know I guess I'm nervous," Tommy said, shrugging.
Logan chuckled. "Come on she's waiting for you man," he said, then toke a swig from his water.
"We're telling you Kimberly is going to say yes but you have got to ask her first," Zack said, than grabbed a breaking board
Tommy looked at Logan and scratched his chin. "So you guys think I should ask her today," he asked the two of them.
"Don't put it off man it's time to make your move," Zack said, and held the board for Tommy.
After a moment's hesitation Tommy got into a fighting stance he leapt up and kicked clean threw the board.
Zack looked at the board then he and Logan looked at Tommy. "You two are right," he said, and the three of them went and got a table.
For a about ten minutes the three of them rested up and got a few drinks from Ernie and discussing the dance. Then the three of them went back on to the mats where the three of them sparred each other.
After Logan deflected a few kicks from Tommy, he leapt up and threw a spin kick that Tommy ducked under. When he landed then back flipped and did a couple of handsprings away from Zack's kicks. As he landed in a fighting stance, he watched as Zack threw a few round houses at Tommy. Who deflected them then threw a spin kick that Zack ducked under then grabbed Tommy and threw him over his shoulder and on to the mat.
"You lost your focus," Zack said, looking down at Tommy in a fighting stance.
"Because you two got me thinking about Kim," Tommy said, sprawled out on the mat.
Then Zack twisted around and ducked under a flying sidekick from Logan then threw a spin kick as Logan landed in front of him. Logan ducked under it with a split then spun on his back throwing a few kicks keeping Zack off him and rolled backwards onto his feet. Back on his feet Logan jumped up and threw a spin kick that Zack ducked under then when he landed threw a spin kick which Zack dodged then grabbed Logan's arm and threw him over his shoulder.
Logan landed on his feet grasping Zack's arm spun Zack around him then flipped Zack onto his back.
Breathing hard Logan helped Zack up. "And you get too distracted," Logan said, as Zack helped Tommy to his feet.
"The sooner you ask Kim to the dance the sooner your mind will be at ease trust me," Zack said, looking at Tommy and patting his chest.
"Yeah ok Zack if your such a pro let's see you in action," Tommy said, and the three looked over at the entrance to see Angela (Zack's crush) come in.
"Let's just hope you don't trip over yourself this time," Logan said, smiling and Tommy gave a chuckle.
Zack smiled. "Childs play my friends first you have to catch her eye with your walk," he said, as he followed Angela.
He hopped up the stairs in front of her turned to face her then spun around to lean against one of the brass poles facing her a big smile on his face. She gave him a small chuckle than walked by him. On the mat, Tommy chuckled while Logan just shook his head a smiling.
"Then you have to impress her with a smooth spin," Zack said, as he walked backwards after her.
She turned he made some fancy footwork then spun like a ballet dancer with his hands on his abdomen. Then he put his foot down and dragged himself off to her side give a little bow to her and she smiled. Tommy and Logan looked at each then looked back both laughing under their breaths.
As Angela was putting her, things down a stool at the bar. "Finally you just have to bust a move," Zack said, and then did a small dance then slid up beside her.
"Zack get a life," she said, and then still smiling moved on to another stool.
"Point, set, and match," Logan said, as he and Tommy joined Zack at the bar.
"Real impressive man," Tommy said, putting a hand on Zack's shoulder and patting his chest.
"Yeah real impressive," bulk said, coming in with skull and Logan, Tommy, and Zack turned to face them.
"If you're trying to get a date with a circus geek," bulk said, and skull gave his high pitched laughter.
"What's the matter guys can't get a date?"
"Well you two are such experts why don't you teach us?" Zack said, and Tommy crossed his arms.
"Yeah I mean you two have got two have more than the things you've been throwing at Kimberly," Logan said, and Tommy chuckled and the two dragged their hands together and snapped their fingers pointing at each other.
Smiling bulk pulled his leather coat over his head and zipped it. "Roses are red violets are blue no girl in the world going to go out with you," he said, and skull laughed again.
Then bulk started tugging at his coat. "Hey I'm stuck," he said.
"Stuck," skull said.
"Get me out of here, I can't breathe, I can't breathe," bulk said, as skull grabbed his coat.
"Hold still I'm trying," skull said, and after a moments struggle the two flipped each other on to the floor.
The people who saw it burst in to fits of laughter and Logan had to hold onto the bar for support.
"Yo ladies check this out," Zack said, a bunch of girls came over laughing while Logan, Tommy, and Zack walked up to look down at bulk and skull along with the girls.
"Roses are red," Tommy said, holding his hands in front of him.
"Violets are blue," Zack said, imitating Tommy.
"We sure did learn allot from you," Logan said, and the three boys looked at each other.
They look back down at bulk and skull. "NOT," they said, together and laughing they went into the lockers changed then left the youth center.
They walked to the park discussing the dance and practicing a few flips and handsprings when they got there. The three were just heading for the pond when they saw Trini and Kimberly come down the path. Zack and Logan looked at Tommy who suddenly turned green in more ways than one.
"Hey Trini, Kimberly how are you? Fancy meeting you out here," Logan said, as the girls reached them.
"Yeah it's a nice day for a walk," Trini said, and Kimberly nodded looking at Trini who looked at her watch and her eyes went wide.
"What is it?" Zack said, concerned to Trini.
"I was supposed to meet my father at his lab to pick up my cousin who's visiting," she said, looking at Zack and Logan then at Kimberly.
"Sorry Kim but I'll have to take a rain check on that movie," she said, and started to leave.
"Trini wait up well come with you," Logan said, and he and Zack followed Trini leaving Tommy and Kimberly alone.
When the three of them were a good distance away, they ducked behind a tree. "Everything is going according to plan," Logan said, rubbing his hands.
"Am I a genius or what," Zack said, putting a hand on their shoulders.
"I'm not sure about that I'm just saying that it's about time that someone toke the inchoative if they weren't," Trini said, smiling.
"I couldn't agree more," Logan said, peering around the tree and smiled when he saw them walk down the trail together.
"And everything is going splendidly," Logan said, turning back to them.
"Well I really have to get going Zack you coming," Trini said, and Zack nodded.
"Well I'm going to stic…k around," Logan said, then spotted a girl that's in his class named Ashley.
She was a pretty girl about the same height as Logan with long black hair and blue eyes. He watched as she was playing Frisbee with her friends. Zack looked over where he was looking.
"Yeah you do that but stay focused," he said, and Logan stood on his foot as he walked towards Ashley.
As he got close, he felt like his legs were made of led. "Hi Ashley," Logan said, as she caught the Frisbee.
She turned to face him and smiled. "Hi Logan how are you?" she asked then tossed the Frisbee.
"Uh I was wondering if you were going to the dance with any one?" Logan asked grinding his foot in the grass.
She turned to face him. "No, I'm not why?" she said, smiling.
He bit his lip and looked down at his feet. "I was wondering…er if er.. you would go with me?" he asked and he looked up and she had her arms crossed with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"I understand if you have other plans or…," Logan started but was stopped when she put her index and middle finger over his mouth.
"Logan I would love to go to the dance with you and you can pick me up at seven," she said, a big smile on her face then she kissed him on the cheek then walked away leaving him as still as a statute.
"Well that went better than expected," Logan said, as he tried to resist whooping into the air then his morpher began to vibrate.
He quickly looked around and ducked behind a tree then pressed the sides of his morpher. A holographic image of putties ambushing Kimberly and Tommy appeared.
"I knew the way this plan was going was too good to be true," Logan and he detached his dragon gem.
"DRAGON RIDERS! UNITE! HA!" He called morphing and streaking to Tommy and Kimberly as fast as he could.
When he arrived, the putties had both Tommy and Kimberly were in their clutches. "TOMMY! KIMBERLY!" he yelled then there was a flash of gold and a big two toed gold, armored, baboon faced guy appeared with a giant gold sword in hand.
"It's Goldar!" Kimberly yelled as she tried to get free.
"What do you want now bucket head," Tommy said, struggling with the putties holding him and Logan started running down to them pulling out his Draco Blaster.
"No take him," Goldar said, and the putties released Kimberly and tried to stall Logan.
Yelling Goldar turned his sword so its point was facing the ground. "Oh No you don't," Logan said, and streak forward and grabbed hold of the putties holding him as the sword hit the ground.
The next thing Logan knew he was standing in a dark room with arches with bars attached to an object in the center from all sides and angles of the arch and floor, smoke at his, Tommy, and the putties feet.
I'm in the dark dimension Logan said, eyes going wide behind his visor.
"It's just like old times isn't Green Ranger," Goldar said, as he appeared in front of them.
"What's this all about Goldar?" Tommy demanded and Logan formed his Dragon Ninja Sword.
Before Logan could stop him, a putty handed Goldar Tommy's morpher.
"Aw the Green Rangers morpher now leave the two of them to me," Goldar said, and the putties vanished.
Goldar pointed his sword at Logan. "So you are the Red Dragon Ranger who's been causing us so much trouble," he said, brandishing his sword.
"That's me and you must be Goldar, Rita's top solider and general your reputation precedes you. But right now you have something that belongs to a friend of mine and I'm going to get it back," Logan said, and charged him.
The two exchanged blows at a ferocious rate and power and they rested as Logan was on one knee holding back a blow from Goldar above his head. After a few seconds, the two continued the Goldar finally after knocking Logan's sword to the side then struck him in the neck with his sword. As Logan fell, Goldar sized him around the neck and lifted him clean off his feet while Logan was choking under his grip.
"You are a skilled warrior Red Dragon Ranger but you are not skilled enough," Goldar said, threw him back against the bars.
As soon as Logan made contact with the bars, a huge electric shock shot threw his body. He fell hard to the ground on his chest and as he raised himself off the ground, he clutched his throat. Something was wrong he could not get enough air.
"Malfunction in air intake valve possibly crushed under pressure repairs initiated estimated time of completion two minutes," said the computer voice of his helmet.
"Lower visor," Logan commanded.
The three panels piled on top of the other then sank in to the helmet and the glass part shot up into the helmet. Logan coughed as he sucked into his lungs. Tommy patted his back as Logan climbed to one knee but keeping his face turned to the floor.
"Get comfortable Green Ranger Rita has big plans for you," Goldar said,
"NEVER," Tommy yelled and charged Goldar throwing punches at him.
When he reached Goldar, he was kicked in the gut and was thrown back and he rolled back to Logan.
Tommy pressed on his communicator. "Alpha…," he said, and got a single beep in response and Goldar started laughing.
"Forget it your telecommunication devise doesn't work in this dimension," Goldar said, shaking his head.
"Why are we here?" Tommy demanded as Logan reached out while keeping his face turned down for his Dragon Ninja Sword converted it back to the Draco Blaster and holstered it.
"Its simple Green Ranger if you serve Rita you can keep your powers if not you will lose them when the candle burns out," Goldar said.
"What candle?" Tommy said, and Logan's eyes went wide.
"The Green Candle," Goldar said, and stepped aside
Behind him stood on a pedestal and on a golden candlestick was green candle with a green flame at the top. Every now and then, a spark of green light would shine from the candle and circle it.
Laughing Goldar said, "This candle is made from a special wax and when it burns out Rita will steal your powers," and Tommy gulped.
"I won't let you get away with this Goldar," Tommy said, while Logan was still on the ground.
"Ha, Ha, like to stop, the candle from burning be my guest," Goldar said, as Logan started breathing normally.
I got to help him Logan thought as Tommy leapt forward and threw a flying sidekick on Goldar but was thrown to the side as Tommy landed.
"Ha, ha you two are doomed!" Goldar said, as Tommy rolled onto his feet.
"Repairs complete," declared the voice and Logan grinned.
"Raise visor," he commanded and the visor snapped back into place but he kept his face turned down and his hand on his neck.
Wait for it Logan thought.
He heard footsteps from giant feet then they stopped. "I am called to battle," Goldar said.
"Eh don't get any ideas ranger the candle will be safe while I'm away," Goldar said, then Logan heard something then Tommy grunted.
"See," Goldar, said, laughing then there was a flash of green light and the only thing Logan heard was Tommy's struggles.
Logan's head shot up and he scanned the enclosed area and smiled when he saw that Goldar was gone. Then he saw that Tommy was bond by a series of gold lights at his wrists and across his waist. Then he turned to the green candle unguarded and his grin stretched from ear to ear.
Logan leapt to his feet and sprinted to towards the candle and he was just about to grab it. When a powerful electric shock raced up his arm and threw, his entire body and he staggered back and fell to one knee and it finally stopped. He gritted his teeth as he clenched his wrist where his morpher was and where the shock had come from.
Then an image appeared on the glass in front of him of Narvock's face and it was moving. "Logan if you are watching this then you have become the Red Ranger that I told you about when you were a small boy before I sent you off to the academies. This also means that you are probity in the dark dimension with the first Green Ranger Tommy Oliver and tried to grab The Green Candle to save his powers.
This is something you cannot do Logan for you are forbidden to interfere with the Green Ranger's powers. Soon they are meant to be lost and Tommy is to leave the ranger team. Though I know that you have been helping the Rangers, as you will with future teams you cannot interfere with rangers destined to be lost like the green ranger.
For every time you are about to cross the line between your duty as a ranger in the past you will receive the same electric shock that you just got. You must not change the past Logan just accept it for what it is and move on. Logan I have always loved you as if you were my own even though you are not and I am without a doubt sure that your parents would be proud of you," he said, then the image vanished.
Logan breathed hard as his eyes stayed were the video had played. "What happened?" Tommy said, as Logan stood up, walked up to the candle, and looked at it.
"I can't get it," Logan said, after a few seconds.
"Why not," Tommy said, behind him.
"I can't explain why but we have got to get out of here and help the other rangers," Logan said, as he went and sat down on his back to an arch.
"We've got to form a plan to get out of here and fast," Tommy said, and they started forming a plan.
As Logan lay sprawled out on the ground under the smoke while, Tommy continued to struggle against his restraints. Then the moment thieve been waiting for with a flash of gold announced Goldar's return.
"HEY," Tommy yelled and Logan snaked forward.
"I am back I am happy to report that your miserable friends are losing the battle," Goldar said, and he raised his sword and the balls vanished and Tommy toke a step forward.
"You'll never defeat them Goldar," Tommy said, as Logan crept closer
"When she has your powers Rita will be able to defeat everyone," Goldar said.
"She'll never have it," Tommy said, as Logan got into position.
"Oh she will see it burn," Goldar said, looking at the candle behind them.
"Like to try stopping it again and where is your little dragon friend," Goldar said, turning back around.
"RIGHT HERE!" Logan shouted and spun on his back and slammed a couple roundhouse kicks in to Goldar's chest then leapt to his feet.
At that moment, Tommy leapt forward and did a jumping turning sidekick nailing Goldar in the gut and Logan got into a fighting stance next to him. "Face it you two your trapped," Goldar said.
"We're never trapped," Logan said, then turned to Tommy.
"Double whammy my friend," he said, and Tommy smiled.
"You're on," he said, and they in sequence the two nailed Goldar with a pair of flying turning sidekicks.
When they landed, Tommy was nailed by Goldar's kick and Logan back rolled under a punch. In his roll, Logan nailed the pommel of Goldar's sword and sent it flying. Then when Logan was on one knee, he tackled Goldar and he was thrown to the side. As Logan rolled onto his feet than hand sprang, back to Tommy and Goldar gapped when he saw that Tommy was holding his sword.
"You dropped this Tommy," Logan said, and he held up Tommy's morpher and Tommy took it.
Then Tommy held up the sword. "We saw how you got us in here Goldar now let's see if it work in reverse," Tommy said, and he raised the sword above his head.
He then spun the tip around as Goldar cried out and Logan grabbed a part of his shirt as Tommy brought the sword down and Goldar grabbed it. The next thing the three of them knew they were back in the park and Tommy and Logan double fisted Goldar in the chest. The three exchanged blows then Tommy leapt behind Logan.
"See you later gold guy," Tommy said.
"Or in other words Asta lavista Monkey Boy," Logan said.
Then Tommy held is morpher up as Logan covered him. "DRAGON ZORD," he called then vanished.
Logan without a second thought streaked away and met up with Tommy as he was calling the Dragonzord from the sea. "Hey partner," he said, slapping Tommy on the should and looked up to see the Megazord fighting the Dragonzord.
"Are my eyes tricking me?" he asked shaking his head as Tommy lowered the flute.
"It's Cyclopcus he turned into the Dragonzord and my powers are weakening already," he said, then started playing again.
Logan looked at him I was afraid of this he thought.
About a minute later, they heard a rumble and the two turned to see the real Dragonzord come. "Yeah alright!" Tommy said, and then started to play a different tune on the dragon dagger.
Almost at once, the Dragonzord cried out, swung around, and nailed the fake Dragonzord in the chest with its tail. The fake stumbled back and became Cyclopcus then it was Megazord then it was Dragonzord in fighting mode. After Cyclopcus turned, back for the third time Megazord swung at it with the power sword but he vanished and Megazord and Dragonzord looked around not finding him. The rest of the rangers then jumped out of Megazord and joined them on the rooftop patting the two of them on the backs.
"Way to go Tommy glad your back," Jason said, as they grasped hands.
"I'm a power ranger till the end," Tommy said, as Kimberly rapped her arms around his neck.
But how long will that be? Logan thought crossing his arms as Zack slapped his back.
