Cammy looked around the Dino Lab. She didn't often visit, but she knew it well enough to know something was different. She looked around the room skeptically, stopping when her gaze fell on Kendall.
"There's a lot more stuff here," she said. Kendall gave a little nod.
"Koda wanted me to move my office down here."
"This is already your office."
"It was my lab. Now it's my office and my lab."
"Why?"
"Koda wants to be able to keep an eye on me," Kendall explained. Cammy looked her up and down once then nodded her head.
"I don't blame him," she smirked. Kendall gave Cammy a quick glare before getting back to her work. Cammy, to keep herself busy until Kendall was done, decided she would have a look around the lab. She knew not to touch anything, and figured it would be okay just to peek. She found a few books, some of Kendall's research papers, prototypes for future weapons and upgrades, and empty chargers. All of which were expected to be lying around an office/lab. However, there was one thing that seemed out of place. When Cammy peeked inside a box, she noticed a broken piece of technology.
"What's this?" Cammy lifted the device, just to show Kendall. Kendall looked over, then dropped what she was doing and waved to Cammy to bring it over.
"That's our E-Tracer."
"A what?"
"Shelby and I came up with it together a while back," Kendall explained. "This was before you and I met."
"You and Shelby built something together?" Cammy gave the E-Tracer another look, "No wonder it's broken."
"It worked wonderfully," Kendall told her. "At least, it would have if I hadn't forgotten to encrypt the signal. It did help us find the AnkyloZord."
"The Zord with the ball on the end of its tail?"
"Yes, that one," Kendall nodded. "In fact, our search for the energems may have already been complete if the E-Tracer wasn't destroyed."
"Who destroyed it?"
"Well... Chase, technically."
"This sounds like it's more trouble than it's worth," Cammy said, looking down at the E-Tracer.
"Fury got his hands on it. Actually, he managed to get the coordinates to the Ptera Zord," Kendall said as the gears in her head started to spin. She made her way to her laptop, opening up a couple of files. Cammy brought the E-Tracer over as she watched.
"Fury has the Ptera Zord?"
"Not yet," Kendall shook her head. "Fury got away with the Charger, but there wasn't enough energy left inside to activate the battle mode."
"That's a good thing?"
"For now," Kendall nodded her head. "Fury also doesn't have the technology to charge it. That's all here."
"Here?" Cammy frowned. "In the museum? Where you work? Live? And sometimes sleep?
"Cammy, I'm in no danger here," Kendall assured her. "Fury and Sledge know this lab exists, but they don't know where it is."
"And you're sure only you have the technology to charge the... well, Chargers?" Cammy asked. Kendall nodded her head.
"I built them. I came up with them," Kendall nodded her head. "No one else on Earth knows how to charge them but me. Nowhere else has the technology required but right here."
"Promise?" Cammy asked, but Kendall hesitated. Cammy didn't like having to wait for an answer. She frowned deeply. "Kendall..."
"Well..."
"What?"
"There is one other lab... in town. In its current state, it couldn't charge a battery, never mind a Charger. However, if Fury finds it and gives it a couple of upgrades..."
Kendall picked up her Dino Com, "Rangers, get down to the lab immediately."
"Rangers?" Cammy frowned. "Like, time to get to work saving the world? With a broken leg? You promised you'd stay out of trouble, Kendall!"
"I'm staying in the lab," Kendall assured Cammy. "But the Rangers need to go out, before Fury realizes there's a lab that could further his search for the Ptera Zord."
"I thought he moved onto your purple Energem," Cammy asked. "Isn't he all about that, now?"
"That's lost," Kendall shook her head. "All he's got going for him now is the Gold Charger. We can't assume he won't, at some point, return to that."
-Dino-Charge-
"You think Fury might be trying to power up the Ptera Charger?" Tyler asked, looking to Kendall questioningly. It wasn't that he doubted Fury would ever try to give himself more power, and charging up the Ptera Charger meant he would have access to the PteraZord. If that happened, the Rangers were going to be in a lot of trouble. They all remembered the struggle they faced against the AnkyloZord as well as the PlesioZord. They didn't want to have to repeat that for a third time.
"He's just let an energem slip out of his grasp," Kendall nodded her head.
"Or so we hope," Shelby stated. "We don't exactly know what happened to the purple energem after you lost it. It could have vanished, or Sledge or Fury could have it."
"Considering the PlesioZord hasn't acted up again, I think we can consider the energem still lost," Kendall said. "So recently, the AnkyloZord, the gold energem and now the purple energem has eluded them. All Fury's got going for him now is the gold Charger."
"But can't charge charger," Koda pointed out. "Would need lab."
"There is one lab that Fury and Sledge would have access to," Kendall said as she brought up the map. "Before Keeper found me, he tried to search for the energems on his own. He had his own lab, much like this one."
"What happened to it?" Shelby asked. Kendall smirked.
"Keeper met me. I worked with him for a while in his lab, using his technology to try and locate an energem, but I was getting nowhere. In my own time, I developed the technology to create the Dino Chargers and we moved the lab here, under the museum."
Kendall pointed around the lab, showing the Rangers the technology they were already familiar with.
"I've made a few upgrades in that time," Kendall told them. "But, some of my old technology still rests in Keeper's old lab. It's all outdated now. There's no way to charge the Ptera Charger as is."
"But Fury and Sledge would have their own technology," Riley pointed out. "Logically, we'd have to assume they would work on a way to combine their technology with yours. They could potentially charge the Ptera Charger that way."
"Exactly," Kendall nodded her head. "So before Fury gets any ideas, I need the five of you to head to that lab. I'll send the coordinates through your Dino Coms. Grab all you can from the lab, and bring it here. If Fury can't charge the Ptera Charger, it's useless to him."
"And he won't be able to use the PteraZord against us," Riley said.
"Go on," Kendall told them. "I'll monitor things from here. Keep your eyes peeled, Rangers. There's no telling if Fury's caught onto this idea yet or not."
"Yeah," Cammy nodded, speaking up. "You guys go, and I'll make sure Kendall actually stays in the lab."
"We're trusting you, Cammy," Chase smiled, giving the little girl pat on the shoulder as he walked out.
