Green with Evil (Second Try) Part 2, - Just A Hunch

Normal POV

A few seconds later the alarm goes off, and the rangers turn around to face the viewing globe. They see Mike land in the park. Tracy is relieved to see that he is okay. The pink Dino ranger's instincts are telling her that Rita is trying to trick them. Kira glanced over at her teammate and sees a strange look on her face.

"Tracy, what's with that look? It's freaking me out," Kira says.

"Sorry, Kira. I have this bad feeling that Rita is up to something. She does have a thing against the color green, plus, Mike's only been gone twenty minutes, even if he used his Dino gem power to help him escape. He wouldn't be back this quick." Tracy says.

"If you're so uptight about it, why don't we go to the park and ask him how he escaped," Kira says.

"Okay, but we leave the machine here," Tracy says.

Kira nods. The group turns around again to face Zordon. Alpha presses the red rectangular button on the control panel. The teleportation system activates again, and the teens are transported to the park. They land very close to where Mike landed, so the teens have to go a few feet to meet up with him. The green Dino ranger turns around quickly and sees them walking up. He is so happy to see Tracy that he runs over. Tracy groans loudly as he squeezes the air out of her lungs.

"Tracy I'm so happy that you're okay," Mike says.

Well, he sounds like the same kind-hearted, sweet and friendly Mike that I know. Could my instincts be wrong? Tracy thinks.

A few seconds later, Tracy starts to feel lightheaded. Trini sees her starting to turn blue. "Mike, you might want to let her go, she is suffocating." Mike looks down to see that Trini is right. He lets her go, and Tracy starts to breathe again.

"Thanks, Trini," Tracy says.

"You're welcome," Trini says.

Mike takes a step back, and his eyes nearly burst out of his head when he sees Kira standing next to Trini. "Kira, how did you get here?"

"It's all thanks to Hayley. She worked hard to create a machine to create a time portal to bring you two back home." Kira says.

I knew that Hayley would come through for us. Mike thinks.

"So, Mike, how did you escape from Rota's castle anyway?" Jason asks.

"I broke out of the cell... fought off a big army of putties and Goldar, I found my way to the main room and used my Dino gem power to figure out how Rita's teleportation system worked. That's about it," Mike says.

"Mike, why was there such a long pause between cell and fought? You didn't just make that up did you?" Tracy asks.

"Of course not. I guess that I'm a little tired that's all. Why don't we head back to the command center? I'm ready to go back home," Mike says.

Jason nods. They check to make sure that no one is around and the area is like a ghost town. The group teleports to the command center for the third or fourth time today. When they land Tracy still feels uneasy about having Mike with them, Alpha walks over with the machine. He hands it to Kira.

"Thanks, Alpha," Kira says.

"I think we should head back home tomorrow. It's getting late, and we won't be much help to the others if we're too tired to fight." Tracy says.

"That's a good point. Maybe we should wait." Kira says.

"No let's go now; we can sleep when we get back," Mike argues.

"Come on Mike. I thought that you said earlier that you were tired." Tracy says.

"Fine, we'll go tomorrow," Mike says.
