First of the New Wave
by John Chubb
The zords set down on a clearing near Mariner Bay. The Nexus Crystal had led them safely back home. As they disembarked their respective zords The Nightfighters, Lightspeed, and Astro Rangers were saying their goodbyes. "Do you think Morgan made it back?", Nancy asked.
"I'm sure she did.", Carter replied as he went over to Kincaid. The two shook hands and Carter said "Those are scary powers you have."
"They're intended to be.", Kincaid said. "Helps make evil think twice about being evil."
"Well I will say that I'm not really comfortable with them. And I think the others share my opinion" All the Lightspeed rangers agreed with Carter's view as did a few from the Astro team.
Kincaid nodded knowing how the rangers felt. Only Mackenzie understood the nature of the powers and for now she was the only one who needed to know.
"You're entitled to your opinion. And I pray that none of you know the darkness that I and my team knows. But on a plus side, it makes other teamates think twice about ganging up on a red ranger to push him in the drink." Carter smiled remembering what his teamates had done when Olympius disguised himself as his teamates to get into the Aquabase. "Yeah they would.", Carter said. When Dana, Joel, Chad and Kelsey heard Kincaid's line and saw him and Carter get chummy the thought in all of their minds was uh-oh!
Then Kincaid then set his hand on Carter's shoulder. "Take care of yourselves."
"Thanks we will.", and Carter and the Lightspeeds turned back to the Omega Megaship and Max Solarzord. He then shook hands with Joel, Chad, Ryan and Kelsey. Dana gave Kincaid a peck on the cheek and Kincaid then told them not to worry too much, but that he was also not the pranking type. They got the message quick and headed to where Carter and Ryan were with the zords.
The Lightspeeds turned back around later to see Kincaid raising his fist in the air giving a biker salute wishing them a good journey. The Lightspeed Rangers followed suit giving a biker salute of their own before departing.
After Kincaid watched the Lightspeed Omega Megaship take to the sky he then turned his attention back to Zhane, T.J., Carlos, Kimberly, Justin, Bruce, Tanya, Cassandra and Adam.
"Andros and Ashley still with her?", Kincaid asked with the rangers knowing who he was talking about.
"Yeah, and Cassie is sitting with Mackenzie.", T.J. said. "Captain Mitchell called and asked some of us to help relay ideas for the space defence."
""No problem, I'll go check Alison and Mackenzie out. You go on into town." Kincaid replied as he turned to see about the two loose ends left from the battle they had just taken part in while T.J., Adam, Zhane, Justin, and Cassandra headed towards Mariner Bay in their respective zords.
Iocaste had come a long way from being 'the slimepit of the galaxy' thanks to the efforts of Tanya and Bruce, but it still had a ways to go before it had a 'respectable' reputation again. And there were a few on the planet that still followed the old chaotic ways.
One of these pockets of disorder was in the area of the planet known as Section 38 in the southeast quad. Gangs stayed there ready to pounce on anyone who would encroach on their territory. Those that would were considered lucky to escape with their lives even if they didn't leave with their credit chips and other monetary possessions.
Gang members also fought in the most gruling and brutal fights imaginable as they used weapons, motorcycles or anything that would allow one to maim their opponent if they didn't quit. And all the gang audience would do was watch with sadistic glee as one would walk out of a makeshift arena leaving their opponent in the center, possibly maimed for life.
Women were reduced to roles little more than ornamentation and sex with a desperate gangster. All around the compound were young ladies in the skimpiest attire practically throwing themselves on the male members of the gang. Those that didn't were taken to an area where they were 'broken in'. The leader of the 'Star Raiders' gang as they were called was one named Skora who decided to walk around to where the 'difficult girls' were being kept, and see who was broken and who wasn't.
The conditions were cruel to say the least. Young women were kept in cages that only house pets could live in. Water was delivered throgh a water bottle and hose much like rabbits received. And the food was little more than scraps left over from messy gang feasts. The conditions were sickening and hideous as the women were treated like animals, much to Skora's delight.
Skora had come across one cage in particular. Inside a young woman who looked barely 19 was seated inside. Her long brown hair was dirty and hanging down to her shoulders. Her clothes tattered and scratches showed on her exposed legs where whe wire had scratched her. "Well my pretty. Are you ready to come out and play?", Skora asked playfully.
Skora got his reward with a swift kick in the nose from the girl breaking it. "Next time it won't be the nose I kick.", she said in a soft voice that sounded like a cross between American and Austrailian.
Skora however was furious. He reached in and grabbed the girl yanking her out and handing her over to a big lizard like creature with a heard of Pirannatrons standing nearby. "Have some fun with her Bruiser."
"Uhhh, What fun boss?", Bruiser asked.
Skora then took on a smart assed smile and said, "Use you imagination.", and with that Bruiser dragged off the young girl.
As the girl was dragged off she thought with all the hope in the universe. Mothers, where are you?
Jeeese! I always knew somehow that Mackenzie would make the galaxy's worst patient., Cassie thought as she was running the bio scanner over Mackenzie making sure there weren't any lasting effects over her angel transformation. She was back to being a normal human now but there were still factors to consider. To a ranger's knowledge no ranger had ever transformed into an angel before and Kincaid wanted to make sure there we're no harmful effects to his fiancee.
Mackenzie however wasn't making things easy as she tossed and turned on the bio bed making it hard for the scanner to do its job. She also complained non-stop about having laser beams crossing her body, and anything else that came to mind. After her complaining Mackenzie added a 'smart' remark. "Do I get a lollypop for this when all is said and done?"
Cassie buiried her face in her hands going "Why me?" as she continued the exam. Ashley and Andros however were by the bedside of Ashley's newly discovered twin sister Alison.
"How's she doing?", Andros asked his wife. Ashley was about to answer when Alison decided to do the answering for her. "Going stir crazy if I don't get out of this bed and get some clothes on."
"I've got a few things in my closet you may be able to use.", Ashley said as she and Andros led Alison out of the med bay towards Ashley's and Andros's quarters leaving Cassie to check out on Mackenzie. After finally getting a steady reading Cassie couldn't believe what she saw.
"What is it?", Mackenzie asked. "What's wrong?"
Cassie turned to Mackenzie surprised. "Mickey, you're pregnant."
As Ashley, Andros and Alison walked down the corridor they passed by Bruce who noticed the open backside of Alison that the hospital gown left, and Alison was aware of Bruce's glare.
"Turn your head. Keep walking down the hall, and wipe the smirk off your face. Or I am going to find a nutcracker and demonstrate number one of the one thousand and one uses I can put it to. Get my drift?"
Bruce nodded well aware of what Alison meant and walked down the hall. "And after that we'll tell Tanya.", Ashley added. The trio smiled as they made it to Ashley's and Andros's quarters. Upon opening Ashley and Alison made their way to the closet to check out some of Ashley's clothes. "Now let's see what does one wear when they're going to meet their parents for the first time?"
Andros sat down in a lounge chair reading a magazine. This is going to take a while.
"I've already called Kat. She should be here soon.", Kimberly Hart told Kincaid.
"Good the morphers are ready. We'll transfer the power soon.", Kincaid then left the room when Kimberly heard a voice speak in her mind. Mothers where are you?
Kimberly thought she recognized the voice but she couldn't believe who it was. It couldn't be. I thought she was dead. A spark of hope rose within her. Could she still be alive?
Kimberly wasted no time getting to the phone and calling an old friend back. "Kat? Did you hear it?"
"Yes Kim. I can't believe she's still alive.", the voice of Kat replied.
"How soon can you get here?"
"Tommy will be here soon. We'll leave together and be there within the hour."
Andros, Ashley and Alison stood outside the Hammond family home. Alison had finally chosen a yellow T-shirt with black jeans and light colored shirt. When Alison looked at herself in the mirror she thought she looked like Marcia Brady. Boy what a dork she was? Were all those kids so terminally happy that they had prozac for breakfast, lunch and dinner?, Alison thought.
Both women were apprehensive about what to do next. What do you say to your parents when you find out you had a twin sister that the other knew nothing about?
"So how do we go about doing this?", Alison asked. "Walk up to them and say 'Hi mom and dad. How are you doing? Me? Oh I found out I had a twin sister that I never knew I had. Would you mind explaining that to me?'"
Ashley knew Alison was being sarcastic but it seemed like her idea was the best one they had. In fact, it was the only one they had. "Why not?"
Andros tried to be the voice of reason to both girls. "Now listen, I don't want you to do something that you both are going to regret."
"Regret what? They lied to me for years.", Ashley said. "And Alison had to live in brothels for most, if not all, of her life. Why shouldn't we storm in demanding the truth."
"Let them tell their side of the story before you go off half cocked okay?". The Hammond twins nodded reluctantly at Andros's recomendation as the red Astro Ranger continued.
"Now Alison you do have the right idea, but maybe we should do it this way…"
In the sitting room Mr. Hammond sat watching the XFL football game on NBC while Mrs. Hammond was trying to grab some peace and quiet in the dining room with a good book when the doorbell rang interrupting her reading. Mrs. Hammond, being closer to the door, got up to answer it. Just as Fabio was about to take Miranda on his gondola down the waterways of Venice, she thought. Her scowl faded when she saw Ashley and Andros standing in the doorway.
"Ashley, Andros welcome home. What are you doing here?". Mrs. Hammond hugged both her daughter and son-in-law. Ashley returned the embrace half-heartedly. Mrs. Hammond picked up on that andwondered what was going on.
"Uhh mom. This is something I need to tell you and dad about. Is he here?", Ashley asked.
"He's watching the XFL game. I swear that Vince McMahon will be the downfall of our civilization.", Mrs. Hammond said as she went to get Mr. Hammond.
"Ashley. Andros." Mr. Hammond rushed to hug his daughter and shake the hand of his son-in-law and repeated the same question Mrs. Hammond asked.
Andros spoke first. "Well while we were doing some ranger buisiness we were kidnapped by a White Ranger." Mrs. Hammond's voice was filled with worry and concern over what happened. "Don't worry we're fine. We managed to make it out."
"But we did stumble across someone that I found quite surprising.", with the completion of her sentence Ashley went over to the front door and opened it. In walked Alison Hammond, much to the shock of both Mr. and Mrs. Hammond."
"This is my twin sister Alison. The one I never knew about?", Ashley asked with venom in her voice but neither Mr. or Mrs. Hammond picked up on it. They were both too surprised to see Ashley's look alike standing in their living room.
Mrs. Hammond was the one to break the silence. "Alison?"
"Yeah, it's me MOM! Now don't you have some explaining to do as to why you abandoned me?", Alison asked sparing none of them her scorn.
But again Mrs. Hammond didn't pick up on it. Instead tears fomned in her eyes as she rushed to hug her long lost daughter. "Oh Alison.", Mrs. Hammond said between sobs. "You're alive! YOU'RE ALIVE!!!"
Mr. Hammond soon rushed up to hug her daughter as well. Andros, Ashley and Alison both seemed dumbfounded as if wondering what the elder Hammonds were talking about.
"What do you mean I'm alive? Didn't you abandon me?", Alison asked.
"No dear. We didn't abandon you.", Mrs Hammond said before laying down the shocker that neither Ashley, Andros or Alison could believe.
"We thought you were dead."
Back where the Astro Megaship sat Katherine Hillard and Tommy Oliver came running out of the Chevy 4×4 they drove up in to where Kimberly and Carlos were waiting. "Okay Kim we've got the morphers. What's the big emergency?", Tommy asked.
"Kincaid's waiting inside. He'll explain first then I will.", Kim said. She then cast a glance at Kat and a nod from her said that she understood. Tommy and Carlos both shared a look of confusion.
As the four sat in a conference area of the Astro Megaship Kincaid walked into the room followed by one other person. A woman with light brown shoulder length hair wearing a uniform much like Kincaid's, except where the red on Kincaid's uniform would be was now a blue color, and on the person's belt buckle was the design of a winged wolf as was the design on her helmet also. The rangers recognized her as Jessica Stewart, Justin Stewart's older sister and latest holder of the Blue Night Ranger Powers.
"Jess?", Tommy asked. Jessica nodded and thanked Tommy for coming. Wondering what was going on he turned to Kincaid to ask the question.
"Well as the Blues Brothers once said in their movie. We're putting the band back together.", Kincaid said. "And in order to do that I need as many of the morphers back as I can get in order to recreate the Pink, Yellow, Black, Silver and Gold ones. So I called you guys up to see if you can help me to do that."
"What all do we need to do?", Tommy asked.
"Well, since you, Kimberly, Kat, and Jessica were the last to carry the Night Ranger morphers. I'll need at least three of you to help me create the rest. The Night Powers can be used to create other Night Morphers but I need no less than three to do it."
"Will we still be Night Rangers after this?", Kat asked.
"Jessica will be. However Kat, I will be asking you Tommy and Kim to turn the White, Purple, and Green morphers back to me." All three asked why.
"Others are being selected to fill those roles. And the process is almost done.", Kincaid said. "Besides you are were rangers of the light, and people need the lights in the darkness to illuminate the way."
Tommy looked at the morpher and immediately volunteered but Kimberly and Kat sighed before Kimberly spoke up next. "I'm sorry Kincaid but Kat and I have other plans."
Jessica, Kincaid, Tommy and Carlos were both stunned. "What do you mean?", Carlos asked.
Kimberly sighed before she spoke again. "You remember the time when Eros had Kat and I 'entertain' him.
Tommy bowed his head. "Yeah I remember."
"Yes Tommy. But he had us do more than that.", Kat said. "Eros involved us in other things as well." Tommy and Carlos weren't sure they were ready to hear about 'other things' but they continued to listen as Kat spoke.
"Eros had a daughter. She was killed when she was a child due to a bombing attack on one of his bases. But due to the magics of Black Annie her soul was preserved and kept on hand in a special container."
Kimberly continued. "All that was needed was a new body for her so she could live again. From what I remember the girl's name was Katya and she was killed when she was thirteen.
"What did all of this have to do with you two?", Carlos asked.
"Katya needed a new body, but Eros didn't want a cloned body due to the genetic drift in clones.", Kat said. "So he decided to take DNA from two women and put it together to form a new DNA sequence that would grow into a new body for her. And when it was at the right age then Eros would put Katya's soul inside the new body."
"Let me guess. You two were the women in question.", Kincaid stated. Kat and Kim nodded the Kim spoke.
"Even though Eros loved his daughter, he found her to be a handful. She defied him at every turn, even challenging his treatment of us. I guess she felt some sort of obligation to us since we helped her become reborn."
Now Kat chimed in. "Eros then had her sent away. Only he knew of her destination. Kim and I never found out. But just recently I could swear I heard her calling out to me and Kim. She's in trouble guys. We both know it."
"We have to go and find her.", Kim said. "And we may need the Night Ranger morphers to do it."
"But where will you begin?", Jessica asked. "It's a big universe."
"I wish we knew. We hope the Night Powers will guide us.", Kat said.
"Well let me put them into the new morphers before you all go off half-cocked.", Kincaid said. Kim asked if it would take long and Kincaid said "No."
"Well then let's do it.", Kim said.
Tommy, Kat and Kim waited in a cargo hold in the Megaship 2 until Kincaid returned with a special case. When he opened it there were three morphers laying there. All inert. Waiting for a Night Ranger to fill them with power. And right now Tommy, Kat, and Kim were the Night Rangers in question.
Tommy reached over and grabbed the morpher that looked like the White Raptor that was the representation of the White Night Ranger. Kimberly took the inert Purple Crow morpher as Kat took the morpher of the Green Coyote.
"Now focus your power into the morpher.", Kincaid said as Tommy, Kat, and Kim closed their eyes. They thought of the Night Powers, and their connection to them fill the morphers that sat in their hands. After the process was completed the trio opened their eyes and looked down at their uniforms. All were dressed in the same black leather uniforms Kincaid was in except Tommy's was Black and white with the symbol of the Raptor on his uniform. Kat had the symbol of the coyote on her green and black uniform, while Kimberly wore purple and black with the symbol of the crow on her new uniform. The old morphers on their wrists had fallen down to the ground inert and powerless.
"And for added help.", Kincaid said as three motorcycles appeared. A white and black 1999 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI Ultra Classic Electra Glide, a purple 1999 Harley Davidson FLTRIR Road Glide, and a green 1999 Harley Davidson XL Sportster 883 Hugger. All three rangers were marveled at the sight of the bikes.
"You should see these suckers morphed.", Kincaid said. "Now Bruce and Tanya are waiting to take Kat and Kim to Iocaste. You can start there."
Soon Kat and Kim got on their rides and rode over to where Bruce and Tanya were waiting with the Silver Firebird and Gold Blackhawk. Kim boarded the Firebird with Kat on the Blackhawk. As the zords took off Tommy and Kincaid raced out to see the zords take to the sky.
"I hope they find Katya.", Tommy said.
Kincaid nodded hoping the same then motioned for Tommy to come back inside. "Jessica's waiting. We have work to do."
"Now let me get this straight.", Alison said trying to make sense of what her parents were saying. "I'm supposed to be dead?" Ashley and Andros shared Alison's confusion.
"How can this be?", Andros asked.
Mr. Hammond responded. "Well it happened the day you two were born. The pregnancy with you two was not an easy one. We had to have a doctor constantly monitoring Allyssa while she was carrying you two. Dr. Allan Martin said that her body wasn't meant to handle twins and that your mother would have to come in for more than the regular check up so we went to the doctor's office practically every two weeks."
Allyssa Hammond then took over. "We eventually made it to the ninth month. And then I went into labor. I'm afraid I don't remember too much about it. All I remember is a lot of pain, and my concern for the two of you."
Alison processed all that was being told to her. They didn't give me up. They loved me. She then allowed Alyssa to continue her story.
"As I was being wheeled into OR, our doctor told us that there were some problems and that I'd have to be sedated. Gerald was escorted out of the OR, because the doctor said that there was nothing that he could do and that he needed full concentration. So I was put under, and Gerald was thrown out of OR so the doctor could work.
"When the doctor came out he told me that he was only able to save one of you. The other one died while Allyssa was giving birth.", Gerald Hammond said with tears in his eyes. Allyssa was crying as well.
"We were glad you survived Ashley. But we were sad that Alison hadn't made it. We wanted both of you.", Allyssa Hammond said.
Alison was shocked. "But I'm not dead. I'm alive. What the hell happened? Where did they make a mistake?"
"Who was the attending physician who was delivering Ashley and Alison?", Andros asked.
Allyssa Hammond tried to recollect the doctor's name. "Lets see. I think the name was….Dr…..Jacobs. He worked in Valley General near Stone Canyon.
Ashley then stood up. "Well let's go talk to Dr. Jacobs then. Alison and Andros were in full agreement.
Valley General was quiet for the day. Patients had come in but they were minor cases like sprains and broken bones, as compared to the major cases like traffic accidents and emergencies that usually frequent the prestigious hospital.
"Excuse me.", Andros said to the attending nurse at the front desk. "But My wife, her sister and I are looking for…"
The nurse dropped her cup of coffee in shock of the sight before her. "Oh my GOD!!! You're Andros the Astro Ranger." She then turned to look at Ashley and had the same reaction. "And you're Ashley! Ohh my God!!! I've died and gone to heaven."
Andros rolled his eyes as did Ashley when the attending nurse turned her eyes to Alison. "Uhhh, Who are you?"
Alison was in no mood to hear the praises of the star struck attending nurse, so Alison grabbed her by the collar and pulled her forward. "I'm a side effect to a teleportation accident that caused Ashley to be split in two. You know, like Captain Kirk was in that Star Trek episode?"
The nurse suddenly found herself very afraid for her life and nodded. "Good.", Alison resumed speaking. "Now, we are in need of a Dr. Jacobs since he was the doctor who delivered me since we need his advice to find a way to put me back together. Now would you mind calling him so that can happen?"
The nurse went to her phone and started calling for Dr. Jacobs while Alison, Ashley and Andros had a seat in the waiting room. "A Star Trek episode?", Ashley asked with disbelief.
"Hey. We got Star Trek in brothels.", Alison said as she sat with Andros and Ashley waiting. After a long wait Alison, Ashley and Andros were escorted to Dr. Edward Jacobs's office where they had an even longer wait for the Doctor to show up.
"Anyone want to play charades?", Alison asked. Andros and Ashley rolled their eyes when Dr. Jacobs, a middle aged man with thinning silver hair on top and glasses walked in. "Hi, I'm Dr. Jacobs. I understand you're looking for me."
"Yes sir.", Andros said starting out diplomatically. "My wife Ashley was one of the babies you delivered twenty-two years ago."
Dr. Jacobs thought about it keeping his attention on Andros and only shifting towards Ashley a few times. Alison stood in a corner not noticed by the doctor yet. "Oh yes. The Hammond case. Well I'm glad to say that one of those I delivered turned out exceptional. I mean, one of the babies I delivered…a Power Ranger."
Andros rolled his eyes and tried to continue on. "Yeah well, new light has been shed on that case. We have come to understand that there was a second baby that was born along with Ashley."
Dr. Jacobs bowed his head. "Yes. Alison Hammond. There were complications with her birth. She was stillborn, and we wound up losing her."
It was then that Alison decided to make her presence known. "Really Doc? Well let me tell you something. If Alison Hammond is dead. THEN WHO THE HELL AM I?!!"
Dr. Jacobs was in shock as he tried to wrap his brain as to why a dead baby was in his office a full grown woman looking like she was ready to kill him. Ashley also rose up from her chair but Andros held her back.
"Now you've got three seconds to tell me what REALLY happened that night.", Alison threatened. "Or…I just might show you all I can do with a nutcracker. And I'll tell you, you're not going to like it."
Dr. Jacobs eyed the utensil Alison had reached into her jacket pocket for, and his eyes widened with terror. "ALL RIGHT!!!ALL RIGHT I'LL TALK!!!"
"And for the next hour Dr. Jacobs spilled his guts to Alison and Ashley.
Skora made his way through the cages to where he kept the girl he had left Bruiser with. Bruiser had walked out with their 'get together' singing soprano. "Come on bitch we're goin' someplace.", Skora said forcefully.
"Where are we going?", the girl asked.
"You'll find out when we get there.", Skora said as he continued dragging her along.
"So that's it huh?", Alison replied trying to contemplate the truth about her past as Dr. Jacobs was being taken away by police. "I was separated from parents who loved me and raised in brothels all because the doctor who delivered us needed a quick fix to pay his gambling debts. And I was sold off as a baby so he could pay them which led me to being…brought up the way I was."
"Police have corraborated Jacobs' story with the senior staff who are still here.", Andros stated. "At the time of your births Dr. Jacobs had a problem with gambling, and was in deep debt with a loan shark. He needed a quick fix or he would have lost more than his practice."
"So he decided to sell babies on the black market.", Ashley continued. "He looked for the right kind of baby and grabbed some stillborn infants from his hospital that matched the babies he could use to be put in their place in case the parents asked any questions."
"And one of those babies was me.", Alison said. Andros nodded.
"Jacobs didn't care who he sold you to as long as he could get good enough money to pay off his loanshark apparently.", Andros stated. "Jacobs sold you to a pimp who had lots of money and asked no questions."
"Must have been Downtown Vinnie. He was the first pimp I remembered. He also molded me to get 'ready' for the 'business'.", Alison said. "Then I moved around from brothel to brothel selling myself to anything that moved."
Ashley sat next to her sister. "If there was anything I could have done I would have done it." Ashley then took Alison's hand trying to comfort her.
"Yeah, maybe mom and dad would have been able to handle my…preferences better." Both girls laughed knowing what Alison meant. Andros then spoke up.
"We can't change the past Alison. But there is something we can do for the future." Ashley and Alison wondered what Andros meant.
"Well Kincaid has this idea of his. And…"
"You sure about this?", Kincaid asked Andros.
"Positive, she will be a great addition to your team.", Andros said. Kincaid, Ashley, Tommy, Carlos, and Andros looked on at the door of the Megaship waiting for someone to emerge. After only a few minutes the waiting ended.
Alison Hammond walked out of the main door of the Megaship. Alison was dressed in a yellow and black version of Kincaid's Night Ranger uniform with a raven on her helmet and belt buckle.
"And with the powers come your motorcycle." As if at Kincaid's command a yellow Harley Davidson appeared. Alison stood admiring the 1999 Harley Davidson FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic before her. As she climbed on it she was in awe of the machine. "Wow. I bet you never had anything like this huh Ash?", Alison said to Ashley. Ashley said no.
"Congratulations. You have been chosen to be the Yellow Night Ranger. May the power protect you.", Kincaid said. Alison was so grateful that Alison rushed to hug Ashley and Andros.
"Looks like we're both Yellow Rangers sis.", Ashley said.
"Yeah but I've got the cooler powers and colors", Alison retorted playfully.
Another roar came from the air and Jessica came riding out on a 1999 Blue Harley Davidson XL1200C Sportster 1200 Custom motorcycle. "Whoa! Cool ride there Jess!", Carlos said.
"Thanks Tommy.", Jessica said as Jessica parked her motorcycle next to Alison's. "Three down seven to go.", Tommy replied looking at Alison and Jessica standing together with their 'rides.'.
Kincaid nodded. "We'd better get back to work.", he said to Tommy, Jessica, and now Alison. "The Pink morpher is the next one."
"Who's the recruit for that?", Carlos asked.
Kincaid had a smile cross his features. "Kat and Kim are looking for her now."
"How do you know which rangers to pick?", Carlos asked.
"Zordon chose these rangers ahead of time and put their names in his book.", Tommy said as if reading Carlos's mind.
Kincaid was surprised to find Cassie and Mackenzie standing in the hallway of the Megaship 2 as he and the others turned to head back to their work. "Mackenzie. What's wrong?", Kincaid asked concerned.
Cassie turned to Kincaid looking him in the eye. "There's something you need to know."
Kat and Kim sat at the bar in the shootfighting rink on Iocaste looking at their drinks trying to figure out the next move. Bruce went to speak to his information contacts to see if anyone had said anything about a girl Kat and Kim described. The Iocaste spaceports had a lot of traffic(both legit and illegit) going through them now, and the chances were good that someone would say something.
Tanya came up to the bar to see how her two friends were doing when the door opened to reveal members of a gang and their leader coming in wondering about Bruce. "He's not here Skora. Now unless you've got something good to offer you've got no business in this bar.", Tanya said not showing Skora any fear.
"Oh I have something good to offer.", Skora said. "I have a girl here who has been a problem with me. I want to use the rink as a place to show the planet who's boss." He motioned one of his thugs to bring the young girl forward. The sight of her shocked Kat and Kim no end.
The girl who was difficult for Skora was their daughter Katya.
