I always found it odd how Rita gave Kat the power to transform into a cat but never gave Tommy any added special powers.

Reefside high, monday morning

"You must be the new teachers. Dr. Oliver, Mrs. Oliver, Mr. Scott, and Mrs. Scott." Principal Randall said. The four friends nodded. "And I'm still trying to figure out why a gold medal gymnast, a karate black belt coach, a black belt Paleontologist, and a Nobel-prize winning mathematician came all the way to reefside to teach." The four friends exchanged glances.

"Guess we're just looking for some peace and quiet." Trini answered. Principal Randall closed her binder. "At a high school? Well, you've come to the wrong place." She snapped. She told them their room numbers and sent them on their way.

The gym, right before lunch

"Hello, if you're here then you signed up for Karate instead of gym." Jason said. The class of ten students nodded. "Now, before we begin, me and Dr. Oliver would like to know your names."

"Devin." "Trent." "Connor." "Ethan." "Kira." The rest were unfamiliar kids. "Mike." "Emily." "Amy." "Sally." "Robert." "Well, nice to meet you all. Now let's go through basic stances." Jason said. Tommy demonstrated and for the rest of the period the kids practiced.

Later that evening, Principal's office

"I hope you've had a great first day." Principal Randall said to the two married couples. They nodded. "Thanks for letting me coach karate with Jason." "Well, you can have detention duty for the rest of the week in return." She replied. The three other teachers laughed at him. "But me and my wife were going to go to a museum today." Tommy protested.

"Perfect! Bring the kids with you." Principal Randall remarked. "I guess I'll meet you next to your jeep." Kim said to him. The four walked outside where they saw Connor, Kira, and Ethan.

"Alright, Principal Randall is making me take you to a museum so get in my jeep I guess. Backseats only." The three nodded.

At the museum, ten minutes later

"Oh wow, look at that. Museum closed. Guess I can go to soccer practice now." Connor pointed out. Tommy and Kim rolled their eyes. "If you can find something prehistoric I'll cancel detention for the rest of the week." Tommy said to them. "Deal!" The three said excitedly and ran off. Kim and Tommy went to the sign. "Anton Mercer?" Tommy said in shock.

"Wasn't he on the island with you when it exploded?" He nodded. "The same island that you had to turn into a dragon to escape?" She repeated. Tommy nodded once more before both turned to the T-rex statue. "Did that just move?" Kim asked, startled. It stepped toward them. "Kim, find the kids. I'll fight this thing." He said as his brown eyes started glowing emerald green.

His eyes returned to their normal color before long, but he was now a dragon. Kim started running toward where the kids went.

Somewhere nearby

Kim saw tyrannodrones fighting the kids. The three had no scratches and had superpowers. Kim got there right before they were surrounded. Kim made her appearance by striking a tyrannodrone. "Mrs. Oliver!" The kids said in surprise.

"Anytime now!" She shouted. The kids exchanged glances before going on the defensive. Suddenly, a large green dragon with the same eyes as their teacher flew over them. It breathed fire all over the tyrannodrones, melting them. "Is that a living dragon?" Ethan asked, shocked.

"It's about time." Kim snapped, glaring at the dragon. The dragon just snorted in response. "Did you just disrespect me!" Mrs. Oliver demanded. The kids finally got over their shock. "Mrs. Oliver, do you really think it's a good idea to argue with a dragon that's at least twice as big as the museum? Connor said nervously. "I mean, even I know not to do that."

"And he knows that if he argues with me, he's sleeping on the cou- I mean in the cave." Kim said fiercely. The dragon nodded. "She's very scary." The three teens heard in their heads. "It's not good for my health to disobey her." "Did that dragon just talk in our heads?" Kira whispered. Ethan nodded while Connor shrugged.

The dragon flew off. A few minutes later, Dr. Oliver found them. "Is everyone okay?" He asked. The kids shrugged in response. "We saw a dragon today. Is that prehistoric enough?" Kira asked him. Tommy shot a glare at Kim. "We will need to talk to you with a few friends after school tomorrow." He said. "I'll give you a ride back to school."

Oliver residence, 5:36 pm

"Why didn't you warn me about them being there?" Tommy said to his wife. "And why'd you shout at a dragon in front of them?" Kim rolled her eyes. "There were too many to face unmorphed." "Wait, Kim did you actually shout at Tommy when he's a dragon in front of them!" Trini and Jason asked in unison. Kim nodded.

"Kim, what happens if they report this to the police? Do you realize how risky that was?" Hayley said to her. Kim rolled her eyes. "They'd have to explain the part where they found gems that gave them superpowers before they'd believe them. And they'd find themselves in a way worse situation."

"Wait, they found the dino gems?" Tommy asked. "Yeah, we've got three new rangers. That means we need to give them their morphers before something bad happens." She replied. The four reluctantly agreed. "I've got to go guys, I need to interview someone." As she left, Jason turned to the group. "Time to set up a command center."

Dino thunder headquarters, 6:00 pm

Just as they finished, two boys came in. The four friends turned to them. "If you're looking for extra credit, you're in the wrong place." Tommy said with a glare. Jason burst out laughing. Trini slapped him. "We were supposed to be intimidating!" She whispered.

"Uh, before you kick us out can we explain what we're doing here?" Connor said nervously. "Dude, he's never going to believe us!" Ethan whispered to him. "Mrs. O fought them too." Connor whispered back.

"Go ahead." Jason said. Connor and Ethan exchanged bewildered glances. "For the record, I won't blame you if you don't believe this." Ethan mumbled. Connor elbowed him. "So Kira was taken by those weird things we fought earlier with Mrs. Oliver."

"Tyrannodrones." Kim replied. "And how do you know this?" "He helped create them." Jason said, pointing at his best friend. Tommy glared at him before turning back to Ethan and Connor. "Look, you guys stay out of this, we'll find Kira." Tommy said. Connor sped in front of him. Jason smiled. "It's confirmed. He's the new rookie!" "How come you skipped over the ninjas?" Kim asked, frowning.

"I refuse to answer that." Jason said sternly. Tommy laughed. "Anyway, I guess you can come." Kim said to them.

Half an hour later

"So where are we going? It's not like Kira will fall out of thin-" Kira fell on the hood. "Air." Ethan finished. "What are you guys doing here?" Kira scowled. "We came to rescue you!" Connor said cheerfully. "Way to show up when I don't need you anymore!" Kira snapped. "Are you sure about that?" He said, pointing to the tyrannodrones and robot that just came from an invisiportal.

"Oh look, four of the original rangers. Where's the blue and black rangers?" It sneered. All three teenagers looked at their teachers curiously. "Nobody insults the originals!" Jason snapped. Trini tossed three morphers to Connor, Ethan, and Kira. "Morph! Say 'Dino thunder, power up!'"

Connor, Ethan, and Kira exchanged glances. "Dino thunder, power up!" The three said in unison. Kim was about to morph but Jason blocked her. "We can only fight as civilians until their team finishes beating their enemy." He reminded her. Kim nodded, frowning. The four teachers went after the tyrannodrones as the teens went after the robot. When all the tyrannodrones were defeated, the robot left through another Invisipotal.

The three teenagers turned to their teachers. "Power down." They said instinctively. "Why do you have these uh-" "Morphers." Ethan supplied for Connor. "Right, so why do you have morphers that allow people to be power rangers?" Connor asked. "And what did that robot mean by originals?" Kira added.

"Not now." Jason said fiercely. "After school tomorrow, come to Tommy's room." Trini said, shooting a glare at her husband.

The next day, first period, Tommy's classroom

"Cassidy, you'll never believe what just happened!" Her cameraman exclaimed. Cassidy rolled her eyes. "Let me guess, the sky turned black." "Woah, it did? That's so cool!" Devin exclaimed. "Oh yeah, there are mechanical dinosaurs attacking the city."

The three new power rangers ran up to Tommy. "Dr. O, I think now would be a good time to have that chat." The new yellow ranger said. Ethan and Connor nodded. "Not now, come outside!" He ordered. They nodded.

The three teens and Tommy met Jason, Trini, and Kim outside. "What now?" Ethan asked nervously. "Those are your zords. You just have to tame them." Jason explained. The three teens looked at him in horror. "Let me get this straight, you want us to tame giant robotic dinosaurs who are on a rampage?" Kira asked. The four adults nodded. "Your morphers will send your thoughts to them." "Dino thunder, power up!" "We're so dead." Ethan muttered before going to the Triceratops.

"Hey, uh. My name's Ethan. I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop destroying the city." The triceratops zord turned blue. "My turn. So I'm Kira. Hopefully, we can be friends!" Kira said to the Pterodactyl zord. It turned yellow in response.

"Tyrannosaurs, listen to me! I command you to stop attacking the city." The Tyrannosaurus glared at the ranger who was supposed to control it. "I mean uh, hello. I'm Connor." The zord finally listened and turned red.

"Now bring them together!" Kim shouted. They combined their zords, creating the Dino Thunder megazord for the first time. However, the robot from earlier approached the megazord in a giant flying airship. The megazord was bombed. "Mrs. Oliver, can you summon that dragon from earlier?"

Tommy rolled his eyes. "What do you guys think?" He asked. They watched as the ship rammed into the megazord. "You better help before their megazord gets destroyed." Tommy sighed. He hid and re-emerged as a dragon with emerald green scales but his normal eyes.

"Look! It's the dragon from earlier." Ethan shouted. Kira and Connor smiled as well. The dragon dive bombed the ship. The robot was no longer in the ship when it crashed. The rangers cheered before they saw the dragon come towards them. It carried the megazord to the roof of the school and then roared, causing the zords to separate and run off.

"Uh, hi dragon." Kira said. "Play this rhythm to call me, but only in emergency situations. Be warned, it may take me a while to show up." He (the three teens all thought the dragon was male) held out a musical sheet. Kira nodded and took it. "Thank you." Connor said as they watched the dragon fly off.

Later that afternoon, Scott residence

"So we've given them communicators, now what?" Jason asked. "We hatch the raptor cycles." Tommy said. The two girls nodded in agreement.
