“...so that was one of the main contributions to the end of the Triassic period and cons-...”, Tommy Oliver looked away from his class at the sound of a knock on the door; “Come in”.
The door slowly opened, and in walked a very familiar man; “I'm looking for a Dr. Oliver?”, he tried not to smirk as he said it.
Tommy decided to play along with the game; “That's me, if you wanna wait outside for five minutes...”
“Oh, sure”, the man replied before exiting the room and shutting the door behind him.
Tommy fought hard not to roll his eyes as he turned back to his students; “Sorry about that class...as I was saying, the end of t-...”, he groaned inwardly as the bell rung, signaling the end of class. The students immediately rushed to pack away their things as Tommy shouted over them; “Remember I want that assignment in for the lesson on Monday!”
Various muffled replies were issued from the group of students as they quickly filed out of the room, eager for lunch.
The door was left wide open and Tommy had almost forgotten about the man who had conveniently interrupted him just minutes before until his head poked around the doorframe; “Is it safe to come in?”
Tommy grinned at his long-time friend who grinned back as they clapped each other on the back; “Hey Adam, how've you been?”
“Not bad, not bad at all, in fact...life's been interesting over the last couple of weeks...”
“Oh yeah?”, the teacher looked keen to know more, but an odd thought struck him first; “Hang on, how'd you know that I work here?”
“A little bird told me”, Adam replied quickly and his face turned into a smirk; “Doctor Oliver!”, he laughed; “How did you end up as a Doctor? And a Doctor of Paleontology too!”
“How do you know that?”, Tommy asked suspiciously yet again.
“That little bird i've been talking to is really informative”, he answered before he carried on laughing to himself; “Doctor Tommy Oliver!”
The former Ranger looked distinctly unimpressed by his friend's antics; “Okay, so come on...what's your story?”, he asked, determined to change the subject.
“Well...”, Adam began slowly before eyeing up the door and shutting it firmly; “You know San Angeles?”.
“Yeah, it's about 40 miles down from here, I know a guy there...”
“Ah”, Adam had put two and two together with Tommy's infamous history and the hobbies of...;”It wouldn't be Andrew Hartford by any chance would it?”
“Don't tell me he dragged you into it all as well...”, he replied, signaling the answer; “He had me testing prototype weapons for his Rangers for weeks!”
“Something like that...”, Adam grinned; “...Just a little more exciting...”
“What do you mean?”, Tommy watched him suspiciously. His friend slowly reached behind his back before drawing out a very familiar looking object. His eyes widened; “No way...”, he found himself staring at the morpher in front of him; it looked brand-new with the golden coin embossed with the Mastodon firmly in place.
Adam watched Tommy's reaction; “Well, what can I say? Old habits die hard...you should know”.
“But how did you get this back?”, he still looked stunned.
“To cut a long story short, an ally of Andrew's – the Sentinel Knight, restored our powers...”
“Hang on...our powers?”
“There's five of us”, Adam explained.
“Oh...”
“Yeah, we're all veteran Rangers; there's me, Tori, Xander, Bridge – but he came from the future, so he's not here anymore...”
“The future?”
“Long story...and then there's Kira...”
“Kira”, Tommy repeated, groaning, he had now realised who the 'little bird' was that had leaked his whereabouts; among other things, to Adam. “So you're all Rangers again?”
“Yup, all Rangers again”.

Kira tapped her hand along to the beat in the car on her long journey back from New York. She had finally received the first copy of her first album while she was in San Angeles and it was due to be released in the next few weeks.
However, the big city lifestyle was not one she was keen on and she had finally persuaded the record company to let her move back into her home town.
As Kira eventually pulled up in Reefside, she knew immediately that it was the right decision. During her trip to San Angeles, she had realised just how much she missed her old life and friends.
The singer sat on a bench in the middle of the park where Conner liked to play soccer. Of course, she had kept in touch with the guys, Dr. O and Hayley, but none of them had seen her for a good few months. She contemplated who it would be best to see first and how best to announce her sudden return.
As her thoughts drifted however, Kira failed to notice the large number of strange-looking creatures that had suddenly appeared nearby. They were entirely black, with a thick red stripe down the centre of their bodies and a solid, curved horn in the middle of their foreheads.
The snapping of twigs and the rustling of leaves as they approached brought Kira's mind back to the present as she turned in the direction of the noise. “What the-...”, her expression was nothing short of shocked as the creatures launched themselves towards her.
Instantly, Kira's Ranger side kicked in as she narrowly avoided a blow to the head. She parried every attack sent at her from the unknown challengers and deftly threw her own right back at them.
The Ranger turned to glare at the monsters; “I've had enough of this...”, she let out a window-shattering Ptera Scream before bringing her left wrist up sharply...
The shining Dino Bracelet, complete with gem transformed into a morpher; “DINO THUNDER, POWER UP!”
