Welcome to Gaia! ::

The three walked up a path craved into the side of the mountain, the sun still hadn't come up as they continued. Tommy taking the lead as he knew his way around better then the other two. He covered his face with the mask he had brought with him trying to keep the dirt out of his face while protecting his identity from any enemy the three might come across. The goggles on his face showed they there were no enemy close by.

"How much farther do we have?" Magna asked as the lack of sleep was finally catching up with him.

"Um, not really sure. I've only had to come up here on foot a few times." Tommy answered, he stopped for a moment before reaching into his pocket and taking out a small coin before handing it to Lance. "We're going to be passing thou a shield. So your going to need that to get passed it. I'm sure Magna here we'll be just fine."

"Sorry, why don't you to rest a bit. Going to be a while digging though the debris. Since I have no idea where it is." Tommy said as he sat down for a moment to catch his own breath. He hated coming here now seeing how bad things had turned out after he had left. 'Should have stayed.' he thought as he shook his head and got up to start looking around.

Magna looked around for a bit as he feeling something. "A great man used to live here."

"Yeah. It's kind of sad to see it like these." Tommy called from where he was digging. "Remember that gave i said we could rest in on the way up here. Well it's not to far down. When I find what i came here to get we'll head down there and rest for a few hours alright. It's still on these side of the shield so we won't have to worry about any foot soldiers or monsters."

(Thats fine)

He sighed a moment as he thought about things. 'Haven't really had to give my name out to people.' he thought before speaking. "My name is Krantz." he answered looking over at Lance.

"Where are you from if you don't mind me asking?" Tommy called from where he was looking.

"It really doesn't matter anymore, my home was destroyed by Scorpius' forces." he answered.

"It's hard to explain what I'm looking for, so just leave the search to me alright, at least for that item, could see if you could find anything useful thou." Tommy replied as he started making a pile of things he had found.

Krantz nodded as he looked at Lance. "Maybe we should wait for the sun to come up, would have better lighting."

"Don't want to wait that long." Tommy answered as he let out a sigh. 'But he does bring up a good point, but we still have a few hours before the sun comes up.' he thought as he again sighed.

"Something wrong?" Krantz asked.

"Sun doesn't come up for a few hours." he answered as he leaned back against part of the damaged ruins.

"So what should we do then, wait until the sun comes up?"

Tommy sighed as he started to nod his head before the lens on his goggles changed from black to orange. "Wait here I need to take these." He said as he got up and walked a bit a ways from the other the others.

"Wonder what that was about."

"I'd have to agree. It's been far to long since i have been able too." Krantz said sighing a bit as he looked around.

"Time to go." Tommy said as he came running back. "Got a horde of cogs heading these way. Even with the shields they can sit hit us while there in there ships so on to the cave."

"You have nothing to fight them with?"

"Nope, all the zords were destroyed... well not really just can't summon that one sadly." He answered looking at him. "Come on."

"Full of surprises aren't we." Tommy said as they started down the path leading back the way they had come. Halfway down Tommy places his hand on the side of the cliff, he smiles when it passes throw. "Here we go. Inside."

The three soon entered the hidden cave and take seats. "So now we wait." Krantz replied sighing as he looked around. "We're not alone in here." he added as he walked over to what looked like the remains of three people.

Tommy sighed as he walked over to Krantz was. "Judging by the smell and decay they died a while ago. Two males and a female, damn."

"Thought you said only rangers could come up here." he said looking at Tommy.

"I did." He said as he bent down and looked at each of the three. "Believe thats what these are suppose to be." he added as he took two device off before reaching for the third. When he had gotten it off the body grabbed him by the arm. "Oh s**t." he said as he jumped pulling the arm free from the rest of the body.

All three of them opened there eyes before starting to get up. Before they could take even a step at the three of them shots were fired within the cave lighting the place up for a few moments before dying back down to normal levels. all three of the Zombies dropped to the ground having been shot in the head.

"Jeez you three are so lucky." A female voice said from the entrance.

Krantz was the first to turn around noticing five figures standing in the enter way. Each of them had a similar design uniform, in Red, Blue, Yellow, Black and White. Four out of the five had three toed foot prints on there chest, while the white one had a shield.

"You three have a lot of nerve being up here." Black said in a similar voice.

"We're the Dino Thunder Rangers." Red answered as he looked at Lance then over to Krants, Tommy was behind him as he had moved back after getting freaked out by the Zombies.

"I don't see him." Black said looking around.

"Wait you know who he's talking about?" Yellow asked looking up at him, before seeing him nod.

Tommy snapped out of it as he pulled off the hand that had grabbed him before throwing it back to where the bodies lay. He let out a sigh as he stood up and pocketed the items he had taken from them before walking out from behind Krantz.

"Holy s**t." Four out of the five had said as he did.

"Hello again Tommy." Black said.

"Who are you?" Tommy asked looking a bit confused.

Black sighed before taking off his helmet and holding it in his hands. "Remember me now." he asked as he looked at Tommy. The two seem to stare at each other for a long moment.

"Tom, but you.. How did."

"Ah could someone explain why these guy looks like Dr. O?" Red asked a bit freaked out.

"Because i'm his clone." Tom answered looking at Red. "You can take those off now. To answer your question Tommy. A lot happened to me after you left me in colonial Angel Grove. I'm sure we'll have time for me to explain in full detail of course."
