The next few days were quiet. Tommy was thinking a lot about whether he should visit Kim's church. He called Jason, Kat, and Kim about it. He also talked to Hayley about it.
"Do you think I should? I mean Christians have a different belief system then what we were taught about how and when the Earth came into existence," Tommy said to Hayley.
"I agree Tommy, but what do you have to lose?" She asked.
"Good point," He said.
"Anyways, I have to go to the cafe," she said.
Meanwhile, Conner was checking his e-mail account that Ethan set up for him. He also set up Yahoo Messenger for him. It did not take Conner long to find some of his former teammates that had graduated. Conner and Katie were sitting at one of the computers, when he saw one of his older friends was online.
"Nice one of my former teammates is online," Conner said.
Red soccer: star:Hey dude. Conner typed
LRLBG:Conner, this is Frank. Joe and Mike are studding. The other person typed
Red soccer star:O sorry. Conner typed
LRLBG:do you know who Frank is? Frank asked
Red soccer star:no. Conner said.
LRLBG:u talked to him the other day. Frank said.
Red soccer star:I don't get on here much. Conner said.
LRLBG:what's Mike and Joe's last name? Frank asked.
Red soccer star:Reynolds... Mr. Reynolds is that u? Conner asked.
"Mr. Reynolds the guidance counselor?" Katie asked.
LRLBG:yes it is Conner. I came down here to see Mike and I am helping Joe while Mike is in class. Mr. Reynolds said.
Red soccer star:o well talk to u guys later. Conner said.
Conner logged off. He told Katie that Mr. Reynolds son and nephew were on the Reefside soccer team and they were ahead of him in high school.
"Do they go to the same school?" She asked.
"Yes, Joe is a goalkeeper for Long Beach State. I don't know if Mike plays for them anymore," he said.
"Wait until Ethan and Trent hear about this," she said.
Conner gave her a mean look.
"Or maybe not. Do you think you will get in trouble?" She asked.
"Na, Mr. Reynolds is a cool guy. "He'll probably won't say anything about," he said.
The next morning, Conner was walking to Tommy's classroom. On his way, a tall white man in his mid 50's walked up to him.
The man smirked before he said to Conner, "Hey dude."
"I had no idea you would be there," Conner said.
"Mike and Joe have the messenger log online when they turn the computer on," the man said.
"Don't they have different screens?" Conner asked.
"No, it is Mike's computer and Joe hardly uses it," Mr. Reynolds said.
"What about when he needs to type up a paper?" Conner asked.
"He only uses it then, or to do some research," Mr. Reynolds said.
"You got me good yesterday Mr. R," Conner said.
While Mr. Reynolds walked away Tommy stood near by during the conversation.
"What was that about?" Tommy asked Conner..
He told Tommy about the day before. The two of them walked into the classroom. After school, Conner, Trent, and Ethan were on the soccer field. Trent was helping Conner with his soccer. He was the offensive player, while Conner was the defensive player. Ethan was the goalkeeper. Trent hit the ball into the goal when Ethan turned into an announcer.
"The rookie Fernandez, kicks it past the mighty McKnight for the win!" Ethan said.
Conner and Ethan shook hands when Conner said," Nice job dude."
"Where did you learn to play like that?" Ethan asked.
"I use to play when I was little," Trent said.
Principal Randall marched up to them and said," You three better have a permit to be on this field."
"Conner took a piece of paper out of one of his socks and handed it to her. She unfolded it and read it.
"Very well. Next time I suggest you keep the permit somewhere else. Someplace where it won't smell like you," she said before marching off.
"You got it," Conner mumbled.
"What is her deal?" Ethan asked.
"Beats me," Trent said.
"Thank goodness she is not one of our teachers," Conner said.
"Speaking of our teachers, Miss D really is not the type of person I thought Principal Randall would hire," Trent said.
"I am pretty sure the supernatant has the final say on the hires," Ethan said.
"Whatever dude. At least we do not have a mean English teacher," Conner said.
"Guys, you are needed in the plaza. Katie and Kira are already there," Tommy said through the communicator.
"You got it Dr. O. You two come with me," Conner said.
The three of the ran towards Conner's car and Conner got in.
"We can't not all get in your Mustang," Trent said.
"Come on dude, we do not have any other choice," Conner said.
"I guess it is not as tight of a fit," Trent said.
"Hop in," Ethan said.
"What why me?" Trent asked.
"Guy's it does not matter. With me driving, it will be a short trip anyways," Conner said.
"Really a short trip?" Trent asked.
"Get in, and don't go there," Conner said.
"When they arrived, Tommy was fighting against a devil looking monster. The girls were fighting a wizard looking monster.
"Don't tell me this town has gone to you know where," Conner said.
Looking at the wizard Ethan said, "I had no idea Mesogog and Elsa were fans of Harry Potter."
The devil monster sent Tommy flying towards the others.
"Maybe I should go to church on Sunday. After this, I can tell Kim I faced the devil and won," Tommy said as he was getting up.
Conner, Ethan, and Trent morphed and started helping Tommy.
"You're mine now Black Ranger," the monster said.
"I don't think so," Tommy said.
He used his Bracio Staff Fire Strike to destroy the devil like monster.
"If only he would stayed burnt up and you know where," Conner said.
Meanwhile, the wizard monster had knocked Kira and Katie out. Conner saw their weapons were laying on the ground, so he ran and picked them up. Billy saw that the girls were knocked out and drove to go pick them up.
"Let's put them together," Conner said.
The male Rangers formed the Z Rex Blaster and destroyed the monster. Both monsters re formed and grew before Tommy called for the zords.
Conner you and Ethan can use your megazord without Kira and her zord. Trent do you think you can handle your megazord without Katie?" Tommy asked.
"Do you really have to ask?" Trent asked.
"I guess not," Tommy said.
The three teen Rangers hoped into their megazords. Conner and Ethan had an incomplete megazord.
"Who gets which monster?" Ethan asked.
The devil like monster shot a fireball towards the Thundersaurus Megazord.
"That answer that question," Conner said.
"Should we try to Dino Drill?" Ethan asked.
"Why not, I do not know if we can add any of the other zords now," Conner said.
Just as they were going in for the kill, the wizard monster cast a spell freezing the megazord. The Dinosteagzord got behind the wizard monster and used the Stega Stinger attack to destroy it. Trent then called for the Ankylo Drill to destroy the devil monster.
When the three landed on the ground Conner said to Trent, "Dude you are a life saver."
"It was no big deal," Trent said.
"I am proud of you Trent. You helped your fellow Rangers when they need your help the most," Tommy said.
"Thanks Dr O. Let's go back to the lab to check on the girls," Trent said.
When the Rangers arrived back at the lab Conner asked, "Will they be alright?"
"We believe so, although we will not know until they wake up," Billy said.
"I am reminded of the time I heard about a Pink fainted and a White woke her up," Hayley said.
"I was there and it was something else," Billy said.
"Were you there Dr O?" Conner asked. With everyone staring at him, he said, "Oh yea right you were White."
Conner bent down to Katie and said, "Time to wake up babe."
She started to open her eyes, smiled, and said, " I thought I told you not to call me babe."
"It's not Tommy and Kim, but it worked," Billy said.
"It is Conner and at least he did not get injured," Tommy joked.
"Ha ha very funny," Conner said.
"Let me show you how it's done," Trent said. He bent down towards Kira and said, "Time to wake up Kira."
"Other then Yellow instead of Pink and no pet names, the second one was as close as we get to the original," Billy said.
"How long were we out for?" Kira asked.
"Long enough for Trent to single handily kick both monsters into the ground," Conner said.
"How did we end up back here?" Katie asked.
"While the boys were fighting, I came and brought you two back here," Billy said.
"Are you two alright?" Tommy asked.
"I think I am," Kira said.
"Yea me too. Thanks Dr O," Katie said.
Conner filled the girls in on how Trent saved the day. Saturday night, Tommy informed Billy and Hayley of his decision about going to church. The next morning he made the trip to Angel Grove with them. When the three of them arrived, they were greeted by Jason. Before the service started, Tommy saw where Kim was setting and walked up to the pew.
She was messing with her purse when he asked, "Is this seat taken?"
She looked up, jumped, and hugged him.
"I guess not," he said.
The two of them set down. The five former Rangers and Hayley sat in the same pew. After church, Tommy met the preacher and the group of six went to have lunch at Applebee's.
A few days went by since Tommy went to church. During lunch he over heard Cassidy and Devin talking.
"I did some research online and I found out the Power Rangers originated in Angel Grove back in the 90's," she said.
I had no idea she knew how to do any research.Tommy thought.
"Ok, so what is your point Cass?" Devin asked.
"I know that Dr. Oliver is from Angel Grove," Cassidy said.
Did she put two and two together?Tommy thought.
"Do you think he was a Power Ranger?" Devin asked.
"I have no idea, but if he was this would be a huge story," Cassidy said.
Tommy interrupted them and said," I over heard you two talking, and yes I use to live in Angel Grove. I have no idea who the Power Rangers were back the. It wasn't until I left town that a team revealed their selves. Other than that, nobody knows who they were."
"How do you know that a team revealed their selves if you were not in Angel Grove then?" Devin asked.
"My mom told me," Tommy said hoping he was convincing enough.
"Didn't they want to be famous?" Cassidy asked.
"They were, as super heroes. I believe they had a reason to keep their real identity a secret," Tommy said.
The bell rang when the three of them got up.
Cassidy then said," I guess you do have a point Dr. Oliver. Do you think anyone tried to find out who they were?"
"When I was in high school, a couple of my classmates tried and fail," Tommy said as the three were about to go their separate ways.
Before the students walked in to his classroom, Tommy sent Billy a text telling him about what he over heard. After school, the Rangers gathered in the lab.
"So what's going on Dr. O?" Conner asked.
"Nothing major, yet. We might have a lead on something. Ethan, what are you doing?" Tommy asked.
He did not say anything. Kira looked over his shoulder at his laptop.
"You got to be kidding me. You are filling out a dating profile?" She asked.
"Everybody else seems to be paired up. I figured there has to be someone out there for me," Ethan said.
"Dr. O is still single. So you aren't the only one," Conner said.
The adults cleared their throats.
"Oh I guess you and Kim are together now?" Conner asked.
"We will be once Mesogog is gone," Tommy said.
As long as dad and him are separated by then.Trent thought.
"Oh by the way, I do not want anyone to display and PDA," Tommy said while looking at Hayley and Billy.
"I did not think he knew what that means," Conner whispered to Katie.
"I heard that," Tommy said.
"Anyway earlier I picked up a possible energy between Reefside and Blue Bay Harbor," Billy said.
The next thing they knew an earthquake happened. Although what seemed like a typical California earthquake turned out to be anything but as the Rangers would find out. The quake opened up a large whole in between Reefside and Blue Bay Harbor, a neighboring town. A few weird-looking human like creatures crawled out of the hole. First one up was a man, it seemed like a man, wearing a pink shirt, a long black jacket, a weird black mask, and a black pony tail. Next up was a creature in mostly black armor. Finally were two multi colored monsters.
"Where to first sir?" The black armor thing asked.
"The Ninja Academy, I have some unfinished business to take care off," one of the other creatures said.
While the group of four were heading to their destination Billy told everyone about what just happened.
This evil energy reading in between Reefside and Blue Bay Harbor is different then Mesogog and his generals.He thought.
"If whatever if causing the readings is going away from Reefside, it may not be our problem," Hayley said.
"Yeah we better be ready if these things join up with Mesogog," he said.
"Good point, I think I have the phone number of the technical adviser from the Ranger team that was in Blue Bay Harbor," she said.
"What's his name Sam?" Billy asked.
"No it's Cam, but close," Hayley said..
"If whatever you picked up is going to Blue Bay Harbor, why don't those Rangers take care of it? Oh wait they don't have their powers anymore do they?" Conner asked.
"No they do not," Tommy said.
"If it is their old enemy, and it joins up with Mesogog, things could get messy," Katie said.
"From my research for the video diary, Lothor could only get in Mesogog's way," Tommy said.
Tommy's cell phone rang.
"We are having a very important meeting. Who left their cell phone on?" He asked.
"It looks likes you did," Conner said pointing to Tommy's phone.
"Oh um oops. Oh hey it is from Kim," Tommy said before he answered. "What is going on Kim?"
"I felt the earthquake and I hope nothing bad comes from it," Kim said.
"The previous villain Lothor is back. That earthquake from earlier must have allowed him to escape, I don't think their teach made back up morphers for his team. It gets worse. Lothor kidnapped all the Wind Ninja students, while the former wind Rangers were having a meeting with Sensei Watanabe. Sensei, Cam, and the three former wind Rangers are left. Cam is trying to contact the former thunder Rangers," Tommy said.
"I was afraid they would not have their powers. Did Cam ask for help?" Kim asked.
"Not yet, but if Lothor and Mesogog join forces, they will need it," Tommy said.
"I better go good luck," Kim said.
"I think it will," Tommy said before they hung up. "Sounds like we might have a fight on our hands."
"How bad is it?" Conner asked.
"Lothor has made his first move, and the Ninja Storm team is powerless."
"Sounds like we might be needed," Trent said.
"I am afraid you are correct," Tommy said.
