TOMMY OLIVER

Tommy Oliver - The Black Dino Thunder Ranger

Tommy stayed busy working in the field of paleontology. He was working on a project with Anton Mercer. Anton disappeared and a few days later his lab was wreck and Tommy was running for his life. He managed to escape the creatures pursuing him by jumping into the ocean. He watched as flames erupted around the island and it began to sank. A few years later, Tommy began his first day as a science teacher at Reefside High School. He walked along the halls and was joined by Principal Randall. Principal Randall had just joined the staff as well. Tommy offered his hand for a handshake, but Principal Randall ignored it. Instead, she made a lot of comments about Tommy's field of work and why he would be teaching. Tommy decided to tackle the problem by asking the Principal if they could get together later and she could explain what she expected out of him. Principal Randall told him to make the class as miserable as possible and if the students were smiling, he wasn't doing his job. Tommy was a bit bewildered by the Principal, but she left to find tyrants. Tommy continued his way into his class room. He quieted the class and introduced himself. Tommy asked if anyone had any questions. A young girl raise her hand and Tommy called on her. The young girl introduced herself as Cassidy Cornell - the school's TV anchor and reporter. Cassidy thought Tommy looked a little young to be a teacher and motion Devin to bring his camera. Tommy assured the class that he was old enough and had both kids sit down. He noticed the empty seat and ask if anyone was missing. Overall, his first day had been good. He ran into Principal Randall again, who informed him that he would be supervising detention. Tommy had other plans, he wanted to get to a museum on the outskirts of town. Principal Randall felt this was perfect punishment for the students and told Tommy to take them along. Tommy took Conner McKnight, Ethan James, and Kira Ford with him. He was rather surprised when he discovered the museum was closed. The students were ready to call it a day, but Tommy wanted to know what was going on. He told the students that they should explore the grounds and if they found any prehistoric item, he would take them off detention for the week. The students hurried off and Tommy set about looking around. He was surprised to see a plaque with Anton Mercer's name on it - that wasn't possible. He continued to search around the outside of the building. Tommy realized that the huge T-Rex that had been standing by the building, was now gone. The T-Rex soon found Tommy. Tommy gave the T-Rex a quick spinning kick and then set off for his jeep. He berated himself for locking the door and fumble with the keys. Tommy got the jeep going and the race was on. He spotted a bridge up ahead and maneuvered the jeep through it. The T-Rex followed, bumping his head on the bridge and tumbling to the ground. Tommy stopped the jeep and went to investigate the T-Rex. He was bemused to electronic sparks coming from the dinosaur's head. Tommy decided to locate his students and bring them back to school. He found them and ask if they were okay. Kira was about to say something, but Ethan and Conner overrule her. Ethan made a comment about lots of furry creatures. Kira mummer under her breath, about scaly ones to. Tommy heard her comment, but Conner was asking about the museum. Tommy told him, he would have to come back and took the kids back to school. Tommy returned to his own home. He was working in his special room underground when he heard voices. Tommy was not happy to see Conner and Ethan there.
