Writing style changed, and I really wanted to redo some old stories...

Chapter One

School time has not been good to four teens…but it wasn't entirely their fault. Today at Reefside High School, Dr. Oliver had given a test to his first period science class and everyone was finished except for three of the students. Dr. Oliver let them stay into second period, his free period, so they could finish.

Suddenly, a girl around 24 years old came into the room, and looked like she was lost.

"Yes, can I help you?" Dr. Oliver asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry; I was told you had a free period right now." The girl said.

"These three are just finishing a test…wait…why didn't I realize it was you. I haven't seen you since the red rangers got together to fight the old generals." Dr. Oliver said with a big smile on his face.

"I know; it has been a while."

"Dr. O…should you really have mentioned that to her?" The brunnete haired boy in the room said in a low voice.

"It's alright Conner; this is my little sister, Tarona." Dr. Oliver answered.

The three teens were shocked….their teacher/mentor's video didn't mention anything about Tarona.

"But she wasn't in the video…wouldn't you have mentioned her?" The girl of the trio stated.

"Well, Kira; if anything had happened and the video fell into the wrong hands; I didn't want her in any danger." Dr. Oliver said.

"So….these are the new ones, huh?" Tarona asked.

"Yea. Tarona, meet Conner, Ethan, and Kira." Dr. Oliver said.

"Conner…..you wouldn't happen to have a twin would you?" Tarona asked as she thought the boy looked familiar.

"Yea…that means you've been around the Ninja Storm rangers." Conner said.

"I actually met your brother, hope you're nothing like him."

Just then Tarona's hands started to glow red, and Dr. Oliver knew right away what was up. "Where's the trouble."

"Just outside the school property. You think you're up to the challenge, Dr. Oliver." Tarona said as she smirked at her brother.

"Oh, I'm up for it." He said as he let his silver bracelet turn into a morpher. "And just call me Tommy…I am your brother after all."

"The black dino gem chose you?" Tarona asked in surprise.

"It did. Alright guys, let's do this." Tommy said as he turned to the teens.

"I'm not gone from fighting for long, and it pulls me back in." Tarona stated and with that she got into a familiar stance to Tommy.

"I can't believe you still use that." Tommy stated.

"Haven't in a while, but I'm sure I'll need it." Tarona said as she moved her arms. "Ze….O."

She transformed and was in a familiar suit to the three teens as they thought back to the video diary, yet this one was purple with a heart emblem as the visor of the helmet.

"Ready Rangers?" Tommy asked as his bracelet changed into a morpher.

Conner, Kira and Ethan didn't have to say anything as they let their similar looking bracelets change. "Dino Thunder Power Up!"

The four other occupants of the room transformed and then they headed out, with the purple ranger from the past right behind them.

Just Outside the school Grounds

It didn't take long for the rangers to arrive at the scene and that's when they saw who or what was causing the problem. The creature turned around and seemed ready to fight.

"Hello, Tommy; are you ready to finally lose." The creature said.

"You know that will never happen, Zeltrex." Tommy said as he pulled his Braciostaff.

"I see you've recruited a new brat to help you." Zeltrex said.

"Just visiting." The purple clad heroine stated.

"Then this will be your last day." Zeltrex said.

"A villain that's right to the point….typical."

Suddenly an explosion hit right behind the rangers and they we're sent forward, but Tarona was able to stop the flames and keep her balance.

"We'll find the monster; think you can handle Zeltrex, sis?" Tommy asked.

"This will be fun." Tarona stated.

With that the Dino Thunder rangers went to locate the monster as they knew Zeltrex didn't create the explosion.

"So, the new girl is left to me…and here I hoped that I would end the black ranger today."

"You'll have to go through me to get to him." Tarona remarked, and Zeltrex took her up on that challenge.

The strange creature went after Tarona; but she was besting him at every turn, and she didn't even have a weapon.

"You fight like the Black Ranger…." Zeltrex said as he recognized the girl's style.

"You'd be surprised how I fight." Tarona stated, and with that, she went into a style of martial arts that Zeltrex had never seen.

Within his base, the head villain was watching this new ranger fight, and he saw something familiar in the fighting style.

"So….she has been around those ninja rangers. How…..interesting." The villain remarked.

"Should I go help him, Mesagog?" A woman asked as she walked up beside him.

"No, let us see how Zeltrex handles this, but be ready Elsa, as I just might have use of your services soon enough." Mesagog told his third in command.

"Very well, Lord Mesagog." Elsa said, and with that she continued to watch at her master's side.

Reefside

While Tarona fought Zeltrex, the Dino Thunder rangers had found the monster. It wasn't an easy fight for them, but they finally weaken it enough to where they could blast it away.

"Alright guys, let's bring them together." Conner said, and with that the Z-rex blaster with bracio staff attached was assembled.

"Z-rex blaster ready…..fire." The rangers said, and the blast from their combined weapons destroyed the creature.

The heroes were ready for the creature to grow, but it didn't….and that made the rangers curious.

"Something's not right…..we better meet back up with Tarona." Tommy said.

"I agree; she's never fought Zeltrex." Conner said.

Ethan and Kira just nodded, and the four rangers took off to help their ally.

When they arrived, as they were not that far from the other fight, they saw that Tarona was really going at Zeltrex, but then Zeltrex was ready to play dirty. He activated his sword's energy attack after kicking Tarona back, and she was unsteady on her feet. Conner was ready to run and help her, but Tommy stopped him.

"Wha…." Conner started.

"Trust me." Tommy said, and he turned his attention back to his sister's fight.

Before the energy hit her, Tarona was able to steady herself and suddenly she was surrounded by fire, but she wasn't scared. Zeltrex's energy blast hit it but Tarona was completely unharmed. The fire then moved to her hand and formed a sword. She then ran for her opponent and was in a flurry of attacks with her fiery sword and martial arts combined.

Zeltrex was sent backward. As he got back to his feet; the rangers could tell that he was at his limit.

"Tired already Zeltrex?" Tarona asked.

"We WILL meet again girl…and I will destroy you." Zeltrex said.

"Yea, I've heard that one before." Tarona said; sarcasm in her voice. "Tell your leader that there's another Oliver around, and I'm as good as my brother."

"Very well, girl; until we meet again." Zeltrex said; then he disappeared through a portal.

The rangers started running over to Tarona and she turned to face them. Suddenly she demorphed and started to collapse. Tommy ran to her and caught her before she hit the ground.

"You alright?" Tommy asked as Tarona looked at him.

"Just weak….is there somewhere safe where we can talk?" Tarona asked; her weakness in her voice.

"Yea, we'll head to my place." Tommy said, and he helped her stand up. The rangers then headed out to return to their base.
