One Team, Two Olivers

By: Lawrali & Faery23Dst

Chapter One

Today just happened to be the coolest day of the summer. A comfortable 82° brought children of all ages outside to enjoy the day. The park had been packed, th lake as well and Ernie's showed no sign of a slow day; although, it was never a slow day at the Juice Bar.

Today also happened to be rather quiet despite the noise of barking dogs, screaming children and blaring music. So far today Angel Grove showed no sign of a monster created by Zedd or Rita.

In a clearing where the park met the lake, seven teens sat around a makeshift picnic. The cove happened to be their favorite spot. Out of the site from anyone who happened to be at the park or the lake.

Billy, himself, happened to be a frequent visitor to the particular spot. Or he was back in his more geeky, nerdy days. But that was all behind him. Tommy had helped him with his martial arts, rocky and Adam worked out with him three times a week and Kim had helped him with his gymnastics. The "unlikely" ranger was more buff these days. He'd turned his baby fat into muscle and gotten wire framed glasses. All around, he liked himself better and the other rangers didn't tend to protect him so much.

Adam was also a frequent visitor. It was peaceful there, he could think. He had tried several times to clear his thoughts there but it only made it harder to stop thinking of her. He'd close his eyes and saw her chestnut hair, her bright hazel eyes, and the way his heart raced when she came into the room.

"Thomas Oliver!"

"Joleen Oliver!"

The remaining teens erupted in laughter.

"Don't tell them what I wear to bed," the younger girl screamed.

"I had to... it's the rule of the game," Tommy commented, preparing to defend himself against her retaliation.

"Fine, Kim, truth or dare?"

Gripping her side from laughter, she was just able to say "truth."

Jo smiled knowing that she had Tommy in a death-grip. "Did you know that Tommy carries that picture of you everywhere he goes?"

Tommy's face turned a shade of pink threateningly close to Kim's uniform color. Kim blushed slightly and in a weak voice she muttered an agreement. The others stifled their laughter.

Jo smiled further, "To bed?"

The group burst out laughing as Tommy and Kim both turned a deep red color. Tommy jumped up and started chasing, an already running, Jo. Even with her best efforts, Tommy easily caught up with her and grabbed her into a bear-hug and lifted her off the ground.

"Put me down you big oaf," screamed Jo, as she kicked and pounded his shoulder.

"Why should I?" he countered while grimacing from the impact of her abuse.

"Cause those are the rules of the game."

Behind them, from the blanket, laughter was heard louder than ever before.

*******

"Look at those pathetic Power punks." Lord Zedd glared down on the Earth.

"And the little Power puke." Rita mused.

Standing on the balcony of the moon palace, the two evil doers stared down at the heros of the Earth.

"They are having to much of a relaxing day. Goldar, take some tengas and attack those Rangers and bring me the White Ranger's little sister."

"Yes, master." Goldar growled as he disappeared with several Tengu Warriors'.

Rita danced around behind Lord Zedd while screeching something about the Rangers and the day they'd push evil onto the Earth. Growing angry Zedd wheeled around and pointed his staff at her.

"Will you be quiet?! I want to enjoy this. Soon we will have the White ranger eating out of our hands; He'll do anything to get his beloved sister back. It is time for Angel Grove to experience the Evil White Ranger. Hahaha!"

*******

"Go long!"

Tommy waved Jo further back as to get her out of Adam's reach. With a quick move behind Adam's back she opened herself up for Tommy's pass. The White ranger reached back and heaved the ball into the air and was then tackled by his girlfriend as he watched it fly. Jo reached out and caught the ball, she ran toward the goal they had set. She had almost made it when her legs came off the ground. Rolling in the grass she found herself unable to breath.

"Get off me, please?" Jo coughed.

"Sorry, Jo." Adam nervously chuckled, as he pulled himself off the top of her after his skillful tackle.

The team of Rocky and Kim came running up celebrating on their win while Adam helped Jo to her feet. Tommy and Billy, followed by Aisha, walked up to congratulate Jo on a play that, unfortunately, didn't work.

"Hate to break up the party," growled Goldar, from behind the group.

Gasping the group of hero's wheeled around to find Goldar standing with a group of Tengu warriors. Jumping in front of Jo, Tommy took his fighting stance.

"What do you want you gold can?"

"I've been sent to collect your sister, Ranger."

From behind Tommy, Jo looked on confused as to how Tommy knew the gold, winged monster.

"What does he mean 'ranger'?" Jo whispered toward Tommy.

"Never mind."

Goldar pointed his sword at the group and yelled toward the birds behind him. "Attack!"

Everyone jumped in front of Jo and took their stances. Tommy took his usual leader position. "Adam, stay with Jo. Everyone spread out."

Jo watched horridly as her brother and his friends fought the monstrous birds. Although, Adam seemed to only fight any monster who happened to come toward her. As Adam fought one of the ugly, giant birds off another snuck up behind Jo and grabbed her around the middle. Her scream rung out across the cove. Adam jumped into the air and landed next to Jo and kicked the bird in the side which caused it to release Jo.

"Tommy, we have to do something else. We have to!" Adam yelled.

"We can't. We're bound by secrecy." Kim retorted.

Tommy looked from Goldar and the Tengas toward Jo then finally to his wrist communicator. Reaching into his back pocket, Tommy pulled out his morpher. Bringing his communicator to his mouth, he pressed the button to call the Command Center.

"Zordon, we got trouble. You gotta get Jo out of here."

"Affirmative, Tommy." Zordon spoke.

Pulling his morpher up he called for his power.

"White Ranger Power!"

The transformation was so quick, Jo missed the process. She looked on in awe as the following rangers morphed. As she caught a glimpse of her brother and his friends in colorful uniforms, a blinding white light surrounded her. She closed her eyes tightly and the ground disappeared from under her feet. Trying to open her eyes to find out where she was, her eyes began watering from rushing air flooding in. She closed her eyes quickly again and suddenly her feet hit a hard surface and her knees buckled. Picking herself off the floor she looked around and saw panel after panel of knobs, buttons and flashing lights.

"Aiyiyiyi!"

Jo turned to see Alpha Five standing behind her and a floating head in a tube behind the robot.

"Where am I? And who are you? Where's Tommy?"

*******

"Damn those Rangers." growled Lord Zedd, as he watched the fight through his own viewing globe.

Rita Repulsa tapped on Zedd's shoulder. "I have the perfect monster. With Zordon weakened the Ranger's powers won't be complete."

"Send down Rito. He and Goldar will be able to tire the rangers. It'll give my monster time to grow!"

Zedd screamed his command as he lifted his staff and sent a jolt of energy down to a rose bush that resided in the park, just around the corner from where the Rangers battled.

*******

"Aaaarrrrg!"

Towering over the Rangers, Goldar and Rito growled and stomped down causing the Rangers to tumble onto the ground.

"Let's call on the zords!" Tommy cried. "Ninja Falcon Zord, power up!"

"Ninja Ape Zord, power up!" Rocky called.

"Ninja Wolf Zord, power up!" Billy cried.

"Ninja Crane Zord, power up!" Kim yelled.

"Ninja Frog Zord, power up!" Adam called.

"Ninja Bear Zord, power up!" Aisha yelled.

"Ninja Mega Falcon Zord!" Tommy commanded, as each ranger arrived in the cockpit of their zords.

Jumping into battle, the giant robotic Zord began punching and kicking at the two evil monster. As the Ranger's were about to attack the two a second time, the monsters double striked and sent the Mega Zord to the ground with a loud crash.

"Ahh! What now?" Kim cried.

"What's that?" Aisha questioned, as she pointed across the sky.

Across the sky a giant purple zord flew toward them. As it flew, the wings elongated and tips of the wings turned into fingers; the tail elongated and separated down the middle and bent for feet; the beak opened and the head of the zord appeared.

With a crash the zord landed on the ground in front of the Mega Falcon Zord. Turning the zord reached it's metallic feathered arm down and pulled the Mega Zord to it's feet.

"Looks like you could use a hand." came a voice over the intercom.
