The rangers had no idea just how long they were out for, but judging by Jenna's reaction after they woke up they were out for a couple of hours. Standing up, Drake looked around to see that they had been moved, albeit not very far, to underneath the bleachers by the soccer field.
"I was so worried you guys were down for good," Jenna stated as she helped Kris and Amy to their feet, "thank Zordon you're okay."
"H-how did we move underneath the bleachers?" Drake asked looking over at his sister, "We were out in the soccer field when we were fighting Alcon."
"I moved you," Jenna explained, "after you guys destroyed Alcon and all of the Gridlings and Technos derezzed I knew that all of the civilians would be coming out to check on everything."
"And six teenagers laying next to a scorch mark on the ground would have drawn some attention," Trey agreed, Jenna nodding.
"Thanks Jenna that was some quick thinking," Kris commented, hugging her friend.
"It was nothing really, in all honesty I should be thanking you guys, you six were the ones who beat Alcon."
"And we're sure he's gone?" Amy asked hesitantly, "he's not going to come come back all tall and stuff right?"
"He hasn't come back yet so I doubt that he would," Jenna replied, the rangers looking at her in confusion, "um...is everything okay?"
"Jenna how long were we out?" Drake asked in a low whisper.
Jenna looked at each of them, taking in their expressions before realizing that she hadn't told them just how long they were unconscious.
"You guys remember falling unconscious right after your fight with Alcon don't you?" She asked, all of the rangers nodding in response, "that was three hours ago."
"T-three hours?" Merrick remarked in shock, "we were out for three hours?"
Jenna nodded, Drake rubbing the back of his neck as he looked around at his team and tried to wrap his mind around what happened.
"It's okay though right?" Trey asked, Drake looking over at him, "Alcon's gone and we were able to save the Earth."
"But we weren't able to save the past rangers," Amy pointed out frowning, "Actifed took them remember."
"Then we'll find Actifed and take them from him," Trey suggested, "the six of us can take him, and we won't even have to try to find him because he'll come after Drake."
"I don't think it's that simple Trey," Drake muttered shaking his head, "I know he still wants to duel me but...I think he's trying to do something first before that."
"So what do we do now then?" Kris asked biting her lower lip, "there are people out there that are possibly injured so…"
"We'll head back over there to make sure everything is okay," Drake offered, "but keep your Cyber Connectors ready just incase we need to morph to fight any stragglers."
"Where are our morphers anyway?" Amy wondered looking at her bare wrist.
The team looked over at Jenna, their friend looking down at the ground before walking over to a box nearby and picking it up. Walking back over to them she opened the box and showed them the contents of what was inside. Reaching in the rangers pulled out their morphers, the Cyber Connectors now charred and cracked in multiple places, the teens looking them over not wanting to believe they were destroyed.
"T-this can't be happening," Kris whispered running her thumb over one of the cracks.
"...They're completely destroy," Drake muttered as his sparked a bit, smoke rising from the top, "how did this happen?"
"I don't know, I just saw they were like this when I was pulling you guys from the field," Jenna explained, "they were sparking a lot so I took them off of you to avoid you guys getting hurt anymore."
"It was best that you did," Calder replied pulling out his cell phone and the Cyber Key from his morpher, "they look like they could damage us pretty good if we used them again."
"So we just need to have new ones built right?" Merrick suggested, "Anton Mercer, Mrs. Rawlings, Hailey they should be able to do that shouldn't they?"
"I don't know Merrick," Drake admitted, "I would like to think that it could but…"
"Even if they could we wouldn't have the power to sustain a morph," Calder said shaking his head.
"What do you mean Calder?" Amy asked, not liking what he was saying.
"Before the base was destroyed Alpha and I were able to connect some of the programs to my laptop and phone," Calder explained holding up his phone, "one of the programs was a scanner for the Cyber Keys."
"Why would you build a scanner for the Cyber Keys?" Merrick asked confused.
"I wanted to compare them to the Ultra Keys to see just how much stronger they were to the ones we normally use," Calder replied, "it just seemed like a good thing to backup just in case, well just in case our base was destroyed like it was."
"And we're glad you did but what do you mean the Cyber Keys wouldn't have power to sustain a morph?" the red ranger requested, Calder wagging his finger.
"I was getting to that," he assured them as he tapped a couple of things on his phone, "anyway I just did a quick scan of my Cyber Key and...the power is all but gone, even with what little power it has left we wouldn't be able to morph and fight a monster."
"So what you're saying is…" Kris gulped as Calder nodded.
"We no longer have our powers."

"Well it's seems that Alcon was destroyed by the rangers," Destro observed as he watched the former Viralite Commander fight the Cyber Rangers, "or at least he won't be considered a threat anymore."
"Good that's one less nuisance to deal with," Primora remarked, not moving from her throne, "and the rangers themselves?"
"They don't appear to be destroyed themselves but from the looks of it they no longer have their powers," the fan wielder replied turning around and facing his Empress, "with any luck they will no longer be of any concern to us either."
"Hm, I can't say I'm not upset," she hummed tapping on the arm of her throne, "I was looking forward to the thrill of a challenge."
"Perhaps," another voice chimed in, making Destro turn around, "another group of rangers will take their place."
Walking into the room Actifed dragged Digi in behind him and tossed him in front of him, making the scientist land in front of Primora's throne.
"But that's just my theory," Actifed admitted walking over to Destro.
"Actifed, so I finally get to meet you," Primora stated with a satisfied tone, "I must say Destro has praised you endlessly."
"I feel that actions speak louder than words," Actifed proclaimed with a bow, "and I have hoped I have done just that."
"And more I would say," Destro said walking over to Digi, "not only have you secured the past rangers but you have taken Alcon's scientist."
"W-what is going on here, I demand that I be released," Digi ordered standing up, "Commander Alcon will be looking for me when he finishes the rangers and…"
"The rangers have defeated your precious commander Digi," Destro informed him, Digi balking in response, "locked him away inside one of the Cyber Gates."
"Impossible, inconceivable, the rangers had no chance of defeated Commander Alcon of that I can assure you," Digi scoffed, "and to even entertain the notion that he was defeated is well...it's just unheard of!"
"Believe what you wish scientist," Primora insisted, capturing the Viralite scientist's attention, "but I watched it with my own eyes, Alcon was defeated by the rangers not but a few hours ago."
Digi fell to the ground, not wanting to believe what he was hearing, but as he looked up he saw what looked to be a glass orb floating in front of the throne playing the fight between Alcon and the rangers. Standing up Primora walked into the light and allowed Digi and Actifed to finally see her, the Empress walking over Digi and tilting his chin up to look at her. She was cladded in stainless steel armor and leather, her top covered by a corset and her bottom covered by a battle skirt. She wore metal boots that came up to guard her knees, bracers, and a gold head piece with a ruby diamond in the center that covered her forehead.
"You are now presented with a choice Digi," she explained lifting him to his feet with ease, "you can either be escorted down to the prison cells, or you can join me and take revenge on those who have destroyed your Commander."
Digi stood there quietly for a moment, taking in what he just heard as Primora walked back over to her throne and dragged her right index finger over the chessboard table. He turned his gaze towards the orb and watch the Alcon get defeated again. He knew that he had to make a choice and, as much as he didn't like the idea of betraying his Commander, he also knew that it wasn't likely for him to come back. Plus he didn't like the idea of being locked away in a cell.
"I...I suppose if it wasn't for you sending Actifed to steal the past rangers from Alcon," Digi huffed glaring at the samurai, "that I would have been destroyed along with the Cyber Fortress."
"A fair observation," Primora said with a hidden smirk, "though I am curious as to how you know that the Cyber Fortress was destroyed."
"It isn't hard to assume, the red ranger was there before I was kidnapped and it is safe to say that he would have fought Alcon while he was there," Digi explained pushing up his glasses, "Cyber Red would have caused as much damage as he could before leaving so…"
"Enough of your blathering Digi," Destro snapped, "will you join my Empress or be escorted to your cell?"
"I have enough wits about me to know that I don't want to be imprisoned," Digi declared turning to face Destro, "so very well I shall join you for the sake of taking my revenge on those humans."
"A wise choice Digi," Primora purred turning to face them, "and Actifed I do believe I owe you a reward for your services."
"It would be an honor to finally not be a Viralite," Actifed said with a nod.
"Very well then, I shall imbued you with the power of of some of the past rangers to strengthen you," Primora explained as she tapped the butt of her spear on the ground, "Alcon was foolish to not use the power he had, but I have no such hang ups."
Primora's spear started to glow a variety of colors, matching that of the ranger color scheme, and held it out in front of her towards Actifed and Digi. A beam of color shot out from it's tip and struck the two Viralite directly, Destro taking a step back as the two started to glow and change shape. Digi was the first to finish changing, his scientist look now gone as he now had pitch black skin and yellow eyes, covered by a blue cloak and a white and yellow scarf. Underneath his cloak was a long sleeve blue shirt, striped blue pants, and brown boots, a pointed yellow hat adorning his head decorated with a variety of jewels. In his right hand he now was carrying a wooden staff, the staff having curled into a almost closed circle near the top.
Not long after after Digi's transformation Actifed's was finished and instead of the of the Viralite samurai was a warrior dressed in dark blue armor. The armor itself still had the appearance of a samurai, with large shoulder pads and a skirt that protected his hip, his two katanas having combined into one with two blades running parallel to each other on his hip. The major change came with his new helmet covered head, the helmet taking on the appearance of the tyrannosaurus rex.
"I would like to welcome you to my ranks," Primora said with a smirk, "from now on you shall be known by your new names, Digi you now have some of the powers from the mystic force rangers abs are now the spell caster and monster maker Magus."
"Oh this new power feels fantastic," Magus exclaimed looking his staff over, "I never felt this powerful working for Alcon."
"I would suspect not," Primora nodded, turning towards her other new recruit, "and you are no longer Actifed, but now the tyranno samurai Knirex, empowered by the power of the red Dino rangers"
"Hn, so this was the power promised to me," Knirex said looking at his new form, "yes with this power I'll be able to defeat my destined rival."
"And now that you have joined me let us celebrate by taking the Earth," Primora proclaimed, hitting the butt of her staff against the floor again.
This time, with a flash of light, a bunch of Velociraptors looking creatures appeared in front of her, Knirex and Magi looking at them as Primora stepped forward. The creatures were like nothing that had seen before, with the head and tails of raptors, their body however looked human, with curved spikes on their backs and longer ones on their wrist. Their skin was grey with their backs being a dark forest green, and they kicked back their right foot as if they were preparing to charge forward.
"Velotors heed my command!" Primora called out, "head to Earth and show these humans that they now belong to me!"
The Velotors a cried out in response, their call even sounding like a raptor's, before they jumped into the air and vanished in a flash of green energy. Primora turned her gaze to Magi, the new spellcaster looking over his staff once more.
"Magi, it's time to put your new powers to the test," she said turning to face him, "create me a monster to organize the Velotors and assure my reign over this planet."
"Right away my Empress," Magi replied with a nod, holding up his staff and his free hand, "from deepest pit and darkest space, I command you my creation to show your face!"
A swirl of green energy flowed from his staff and his hand in front of him, gathering and taking form. With the sound of shattering glass a new monster appeared, looking like a large blob with one eye and a horn, a skirt made of what appeared to be animal hide wrapped around his waist and a large club in his hand.
"I am Cyclops," he roared banging his chest with his free hand, "and I'm ready to destroy all who oppose me!"
"Cyclops huh?" Primora noted, "a creature of raw strength."
"Correct Empress Primora," Magi affirmed, "with Cyclops's power there will be no human that will be able to stand against him."
"Allow me to prove my strength to you Empress Primora, by going down to the city and destroying it," Cyclops pleaded, "I'll even make sure that the Velotors round up all of those humans."
"Very well, go down to the city and show me what you are able to do," Primora agreed, turning away and walking towards her throne.
"Right away Empress," Cyclops replied, turning into a pile of bones and vanishing.
Waving her hand over the chessboard Primora sat down on her throne as a chess piece that looked like Cyclops appeared.
"Once Cyclops has secured the Earth for me, I'll have that much more resources to move on to conquer the rest of the galaxy," Primora said, smirking as she moved the chess piece forward, "and then I'll conquer the rest of the universe."
PRTS
The sirens were going off, making Alpha go around in circles as Conner and Kira ran down the stairs.
"Alpha what's going on?" Conner asked walking past the robot.
"Aye yi yi yi yi, Primora has shown up ahead of schedule," Alpha explained holding his head, "she's already sent her minions and a monster to attack the Earth."
"This isn't good," Kira muttered as the turned on a holo projection above a circular metal table, "Conner please tell me we have everything ready."
"Yeah it's ready," Conner replied looking over to Alpha, "Alpha summon the team."
"I'm on it Conner," Alpha said walking over to the computer.
Pressing a few buttons Alpha brought up a map of Reefside on the computer.
"Locating now."
PRTS
The team had made their way back to the center of Reefside, seeing the damage caused by the Viralite attack.
"Oh man this doesn't look good," Trey stated as he looked around.
"The Technos and Gridlings caused all this damage?" Drake asked trembling in anger.
"It was all we could do to keep it to this much," Kris admitted biting her lower lip.
"There were so many of them," the blue ranger informed the team leader, "and add on directing civilians out of the way I'd say we're lucky that there wasn't more damage."
Drake nodded, Jenna placing her hand on his shoulder when they heard someone call out to them.
"Drake!"
Looking up Drake's eye went wide as he saw a young boy with shaggy blond hair running down the street to him.
"Caleb," Drake said running over to him.
The two hugged each other and the other teens followed their leader, as Drake placed his hand on Caleb's shoulders.
"Are you okay Caleb?" he asked, checking younger boy.
"Yeah, those things didn't even scare me," Caleb promised with a toothy grin.
"And what about your parents?"
"They're okay too, they're over there helping people clean up," Caleb said, pointing over to where his parents were.
Looking over to where the boy was pointing, Drake was able to see his parents helping to move a bit of the debris. Caleb's father looked over to where his son was and spotted the teen in red who had taken the younger boy under his wings and trained his in martial arts. With a nod he went back to work and Drake noticed Caleb's mother smile at him.
"Has anyone been hurt here?" Drake asked standing up.
"I don't think so, or at least no one says they've been hurt."
"Okay, Caleb I want you to go back over to your parents and help them out, me, my sister, and my friends are going to go see if we can help else where," Drake told the younger boy, Caleb grinning and running off.
"So what no, we just go around and help clean up?" Merrick asked looking over at their leader.
"Let's do what we can, and keep an eye out for Conner and Kira, I haven't seen them since before we went to fight Alcon," Drake ordered the others nodding and heading out to help the others.
The team helped in whatever way they could, from picking up rubble to checking on people who looked to be injured, so it was when there was a flash of green light they stopped and watched as a new set of creatures appeared in the streets. A pile of bones appeared on the ground, the bones jumping up a few feet on the ground before Cyclops appeared in front of the Velotors.
"Ah hah, so this is the Earth," Cyclops said looking around, "this planet will make a great addition to my Empress's empire."
The people in the street screamed and started to run off, Cyclops looking over to them and groaning.
"Ah don't run away, you're just making this harder," he complained, "Velotors round these humans up!"
The Velotors cried out and charged forward to gather the humans that were running away as Cyclops walked through the rush helping to cural the civilians. Regrouping the rangers and Jenna looked at the Velotors in confusion, trying to figure out what was going on.
"What are those things?" Kris asked in shock.
"They couldn't be Alcon's doing could they?" Calder wondered.
"Not a chance," Jenna muttered, "these things aren't anything that Alcon would have come up with."
"Well whatever they are we have to stop them," Drake said, "come on rangers."
"Right!"
"I'm helping too," Jenna proclaimed determinedly, "I can't just standby why your guys fight."
As they took that first step though they were surrounded by energy of their ranger colors, Jenna being surrounded by a silver energy, and vanished from sight. The teens found themselves landing on cold dirt ground in a pile, the girls some how managing to end up on the bottom.
"Ugh, what just happened?" Calder groaned rubbing the back of his head.
"N-not sure," Merrick replied pushing himself up, "it looks like we were teleported though."
"Yeah but...to where?" Trey asked looking around.
"All good questions but do you mind GETTING OFF US!" Amy yelled angrily, "how were we on the bottom of that pile?"
The boys got up and then helped the girls up, Amy huffing as she wiped the dust off of her shirt.
"Sorry about that," Drake apologized helping Kris up.
"It's okay," Kris promised smiling, that smile then turning to a frown, "but this isn't good we need to get back to Reefside and help those people."
"We don't even know where we are," Merrick pointed out looking around.
"Well we're in what looks to be a cave," Calder muttered, running his hand across the wall, "maybe if we find our way out we'll get a better idea of where we are."
"Calder has the right idea," Drake agreed dusting himself off, "let's try to get out of here."
The others nodded and the team started to make their way down the stone hallway, looking for any clue that they were getting closer to the exit. Frowning Drake shine the light on the wall, but found nothing of interest until he saw something white and stopped, causing the others to run into him.
"Something you want to tell the rest of us Drake," Trey asked looking at the red ranger.
"Take a look at this," he muttered walking over to a dinosaur skeleton in the wall.
"Oh hey it's a spinosaurus skeleton," Calder said walking over to it, "and it looks to be in fantastic condition."
"Yeah that's great," Merrick mumbled shaking his head, "let's just completely forget about all of the people up there getting attacked and look at dinosaur bones."
"Chill Merrick," Amy said walking past him, "I have to say this looks like there's been some upkeep on this."
"And check this out," Kris said running her thumb on the wall under the jaw bone, "it looks like this has been scraped smooth."
"Yeah, almost like…" Drake muttered as he reached up for the jaw bone.
Pulling it down, the team heard what sounded to be like a lock opening and stepped back in shock as a doorway opened next to them.
"Okay, that's weird," Merrick said pointing at the doorway.
"We're power rangers who fought computer viruses and this is weird?" Trey teased patting the blue ranger's shoulder.
"You think this is a way out?" Kris asked as Drake pulled out his phone and turned on the flashlight app, shining it into the next room.
"Not sure, but...it looks like there's something in there," he admitted walking inside.
The group followed him, all of them pulling out their cell phones and turning on the flashlight app as they looked around. The group made their way in, only going in a few steps to allow all of them in, the lights of their cell phones only barely giving them any light in the darkness.
"I can't see anything in here," Merrick said trying to see what was in the room.
Jenna walked along the wall, running her hand along it and feeling just how smooth it was. Pulling her hand back she turned around to the others, her hand still cool from the stone.
"The walls are smooth," she pointed out frowning.
"Caverns walls can be smooth so that's not too surprising," Calder replied as he shined his light on the wall.
"Yeah but these feel like they were changes made by humans," Jenna remarked, the others looking at each other.
"Alright guys stay close, with any luck this will prove to be a way out of this cave," Drake ordered walking in a bit further.
As the rangers followed the door closed behind them, engulfing them in darkness and making Kris yelp.
"What's going on?" Trey asked looking around.
"The door's close," Drake replied trying to open it, "we're locked in here unless we find another way out."
"Guys," Amy called out catching their attention, "I don't think we want to."
Looking over to what Amy was looking at, the rangers noticed a computer screen across the room, the Dino Thunder symbol in the center of it. Lights suddenly turned on, almost blinding the rangers, and allowed them to get a good look at where they were standing. The room was made out of stone, in along the back wall was the computer they just saw turn on, along with three more screens, one above and two the the sides, and in the center of the room was a large circular metal table. Along the wall to their left was a circular room with another pillar inside it, the rangers walking over to it and noticing that the walls of the room was made of crystal and that the pillar itself came up to the middle of their stomachs for the most part, the pillar divided into five parts with the five rangers colors, red, green, blue, yellow, and pink.
"What is this?" Merrick asked looking it over.
"I'm not sure but there seems to be a couple of incisions in each of these panels," Calder observed, "the question is, what goes in them."
"Guys," Kris gasped, catching their attention as she pointed over to the other wall.
The rangers all walked over to her and looked at the wall to the right of the door they came in, all of them gasping as well as they saw what was decorating the wall, their Cyber Ranger suits.
"Our ranger suits," Trey whispered walking over to them.
"Why are they here?" Calder asked in shock, Kris walking over to the pink suit and placing her hand on the glass, "how are they here?"
"That's a good question," Drake said frowning as he heard footsteps coming from the stairs, "and I'm guessing you can ask whoever it is that brought us here."
The teens all gathered and got into fighting stances, the footsteps getting louder the further down they came. Just as they were about to jump into action they were stopped by a familiar voice.
"I'm glad to see you guys are okay, I wasn't sure how badly hurt you were after your fight with Alcon."
"Conner!" Drake said as the former red ranger walked in.
"I wanted to go after you but Mr. Jock over here said that we have to finish things up here," came a second familiar voice as she entered the room with Alpha.
"Kira!" the girls cried, running over and hugging her.
"I'm glad to see you too girls," Kira said with a smile, "and Jenna I'm glad to see you're safe."
"Thanks Kira," the younger girl replied smiling.
"Forgive me rangers, I had hoped to teleport you directly here," Alpha apologized holding his head.
"Hey don't beat yourself up Alpha," Calder said smirking, "we're here now and that's all that matters."
"Speaking of which where are we?" Drake asked looking over at Conner, "and what happened to your hair?"
Conner reached up and ran his hand through his now short spiky hair, something of which he just had Kira do before the rangers had arrived. He had a couple of comments from both the former yellow ranger and from their robotic companions that he was looking a bit like Tommy when he gathered the red rangers and, looking at a mirror, he had to agree.
"Needed a haircut," he replied walking past them, "and as for where you are, you're standing in what use to be our base when we were rangers."
"No...way," Amy gasped looking around, "this was the Dino Thunder base!"
"Well it's been redesigned," Kira admitted, "our base didn't look like this but it was the same place."
"What happened to it?" Merrick asked curiously.
"Seems like Dr. O was preparing for anything and everything," Conner replied sitting down in what use to be Dr. O's seat, "and with good reasons."
"Those raptor creatures that were attacking the city?" Jenna asked as the two older rangers nodded.
Picking up the remote next to the computer Conner pointed it towards the table in the center of the room, clicking one of the buttons and watching as a hologram popped up. The teens looked at the hologram curiously, the image showing a warrior like woman wearing gladiator like armor and holding a spear.
"This, is Empress Primora," Conner told them, "a person more powerful, and more dangerous, than Alcon could ever hope to be."
"We believe that it was her who sent Destro here," Kira explained walking over to stand next to Conner.
"Okay, so what does she want?" Drake asked frowning.
"We don't know, we only know her name and that's it," Conner replied tapping the remote against his free hand.
"It's all very concerning," Alpha added as the rangers surrounded the table.
"So what are we going to do?" Trey asked folding his arms over his chest, "our morphers are destroyed and we don't have that much power left in the Cybers Keys so unless we found a way to create new morphers and power up the keys…"
"I'm afraid that your Cyber powers won't be enough to beat Primora," Conner said shaking his head.
"We still have to fight though," Drake said looking over at Conner, "we may not have our powers but we're still rangers, we have to protect the Earth."
This made Conner and Kira smile, Conner standing up and looking over at his yellow ranger who nodded at him.
"I'm glad to hear that, because that's why we're here," he admitted walking over to the teens, "we've been getting ready to help you guys take the next step."
"What do you mean Conner?" Kris asked confused.
"The time has come for you to gain new powers," Kira told them with a smile.
The teens stood there in shock, looking at the two older rangers not sure what to say. Clearing her throat Amy looked at the others and spoke up with what was on their minds.
"N-new powers?" she whispered making Conner and Kira nod, "but how?"
"We told you that the Primordial Crystal you found was part of the same crystal that our powers came from," Conner explained bringing up a file on the computer, "this was one of the things our mentor was getting ready."
"So what you're saying is?" Calder asked, his mind racing.
"We're getting dino powers!" Amy concluded excitedly.
"You each have a Primordial shard, combine that with your Cyber Keys to power them up, and with my Shield of Triumph it should be enough to give you the power to fight back against Primora," Conner said nodding towards the crystal room.
"Wait a second," Drake muttered, doing a count in his head, "we only have five shards, that means…"
"That some of us won't be rangers," Kris finished biting her lower lip.
The teens were silent as they looked at each other, none of them wanting to speak up as none of them wanted to push out any of the others.
"Well," Jenna said after a few seconds, "I wasn't a ranger to begin with so it's only logical to let you guys remain rangers."
"And I wasn't one of the original five of you that became rangers," Trey said rubbing the back of his neck, "so you guys can gain the new powers."
"Guys," Amy said frowning.
"Come on, can you really see me as a ranger?" Jenna asked smiling, "Besides I can still stay here and help you guys."
"Okay but what about you Trey?" Drake asked walking over to him, "you're part of our team."
"Oh come on you guys were a team before I came along, and you'll be a team even if I leave," Trey shrugged nonchalantly.
"But it won't be the same," Amy pointed out.
"Guys come on you don't need me."
"It's not a matter of needing you, you were a ranger and you deserve to be a ranger," Drake argued.
Merrick shook his head as he looked over at Jenna and then over to Trey. He listened to the team argue about who would remain a ranger, although Jenna made her stance clear that she would remain as a support member. Clenching his fist the blue ranger made up his mind and spoke up.
"Trey's not leaving."
The team looked over at him in confusion as Conner gave him a knowing look. With a sigh he rubbed the back of his neck and nodded towards the older red ranger.
"I'm leaving," he told them, "and Trey will take my place."
"Merrick what are you saying?" Calder asked his friend.
"I've been meaning to tell you guys but, I'm moving," he explained, the rangers all looking at him with expressions of shock.
"Y-you're moving?" Amy asked unbelieving.
"You guys know that with my dad's job he moves around a lot, this time we have to go with him."
"Why don't you do what you always do, he goes there for a while and you and your mom stay here?" Calder asked.
"Because we're moving to Mirinoi," came Merrick's response.
"Merrick," Drake muttered making the blue ranger chuckle.
"It's cool, I've been talking to NASADA the past few days and I've been accepted into the junior aeronautics program," the blue ranger explained, "I'm hoping that I can use that to help others on planets without rangers."
"Thats a big goal there," Drake pointed out as Merrick nodded.
"But it's something to strive for," he admitted, "and I've been thinking about who I'd want to take my place and…"
Walking over to Trey, Merrick pulled out his Cyber Key and held it out for him, Trey taking it hesitantly and looking at the blue computer chip.
"I want Trey to take it."
"Merrick I can't…"
"Yes you can Trey," Merrick argued, "you're one of the best fighters we know and Drake needs a second in command like you."
Trey nodded and clenched his fist around the Cyber Key, Merrick smirking as Conner spoke up.
"Are you sure about this Merrick?" he asked, the former blue ranger turning around.
"Yeah, it was between Jenna and Trey and if Jenna wants to be support then that leaves Trey," Merrick explained, "now you guys need to hurry up the city's under attack and they need the power rangers."
The rangers nodded and walked into the crystal room, each of them standing in front of their ranger color and placing the Cyber Keys into the thin slot. The top of the pillar opened up to reveal the Shield of Triumph and the group all looked at each other before placing the Primordial Shards in the second slot.
"Alright, let's do this," Drake said as the others nodded, "TRIASSIC ROAR!"
The shield glowed brightly, the four watching the team shielding their eyes from the light as five beams of energy surrounded the team. They were then engulfed by the energy and changed into their new suits. The suits were primarily their colors, with their gloves and boots matching, a silver band along the top of the gloves and boots. On their shoulders were triangular shoulder guards colors silver as well and underneath the guards was a white blocky looking t-rex that started from their right side and ending in the middle. Their helmets appeared in them, taking a similar look to the megaforce helmets with their dinosaur on the sides and biting around the visor. The red ranger's held a t-rex, the blue ranger a raptor, green a parasaur, yellow a stegosaurus, and the pink ranger a pterodactyl. The Cyber Keys and the Primordial Shards transformed into energy and morphed together to form what appeared to be a miniature version of the Shield of Triumph that went down to attach to their belts, acting as the belt buckle.
"Aye yi yi, I'm feeling so emotional," Alpha said as the light died down at the rangers looked at their new appearance.
"You guys look amazing," Jenna said, Merrick nodding in agreement.
"Congratulations rangers, the power of the dinosaur will serve you well in your new challenge," Conner with a satisfied nod, "how do you feel?"
"Ah man, this power feels amazing," Drake said as they took off their helmets.
"I know right," Trey agreed grinning.
"We are proud of all you have accomplished as the Cyber Rangers," Kira told them with a smile, "but their time has come to an end and in their place a more powerful team has risen."
"From now on, you'll use the power of the dinosaur to protect the Earth and be known as the Power Rangers Triassic Surge," Conner informed them as the team all nodded.
The sirens started to go off again, the table in the center of their new base projecting a holographic map of Reefside. The team walked over to it as Jenna went over to the computer and sat down.
"Look's like Primora is still attacking the city," she informed them as she put on a headset, "so why don't you go show off your new powers?"
"Sounds like a plan," Drake agreed as the team lined up again.
"Go kick that monster's butt," Merrick said giving them a thumbs up.
"Thanks for everything Merrick," the red ranger said making him smile, "it was an honor to fight alongside you."
"The honor was mine," Merrick assured him.
"Good luck out there rangers," Alpha said as they pulled off their belt buckles.
"Triassic Roar!" the team called out holding out their Triassic Buckles, being engulfed in a bright light.

"That's right, gather those humans as fast as you can," Cyclops ordered as the Velotors ran around, "Empress Primora wants them all ready to start taking the Earth's resource as soon as possible."
The people being rounded up were backed into a corner as the Velotors did their job. As one of the kids that was crying looked up though his eyes widened as he saw a flash of five familiar colors.
"Look mommy, power rangers!" the child said pointing past the minions.
"What?" Cyclops asked looking around.
"Keya!" came three cries as the rangers landed and turned around to face Cyclops and the Velotors.
"And just who do you think you five are?" Cyclops asked pointing his club at them.
"T-Rex power, Triassic Red!" Drake called out, crouching down and posing like a T-Rex, his hands curled like claws.
"Raptor power, Triassic Blue!" Trey followed, curling his hands as well and placing one foot forward.
"Setgo Power, Triassic Yellow!" Amy said as she crouched down and used one hand to act as a tail.
"Para power, Triassic Green!" Calder said mimicking Amy.
"Ptera power, Triassic Pink!" Kris called, lifting both her arms to symbolize wings.
"Triassic Rangers, Ready to Roar!" the team said as the cries of their dinosaurs echoed behind them.
"Power Rangers, I thought you were gone!" Cyclops said in shock.
"You can tell Primora this," Drake told Cyclops pointing at him, "the Earth will always be protected from people like her."
"Come prove it then rangers," Cyclops challenged, "Velotors attack!"
"Let's show them what we got rangers," Triassic Red ordered as they jumped into action.
The team was surprised at just how fast and agile they were with their new powers, easily jumping into the fray and fighting off the Velotors. Knocking back some of the minions he was fighting, Trey jumped back through the air and landed on one of their shoulders, quickly knife handing the Velotor and jumping off as it fell to the ground. Landing the new blue ranger did a sweep kick on the surrounding opponents and watched as they all vanished in a flash of green energy.
"Man these new powers are great!" he said excitedly, flipping over a Velotor that was fighting Calder and back kicking it.
"Tell me about it, I've never felt more powerful," the green ranger agreed as he elbowed one of the raptor creatures and proceeded to kick it upside the chin.
Kris pushed off the ground as she did some backflips, landing on top of a nearby car and spin kicking the Velotor on it. Seeing some more coming her way she jumped off the car and glided over them before landing behind the group.
"Why I do miss our old Cyber Powers, I have to agree that we're stronger than ever with these Triassic powers," Kris said as she ducked under one of the Velotor's claws and pushed herself back up kicking it in the gut and knocking it into the others.
"I'm justing enjoying the upgrade," Amy admitted as she took down a couple of the raptor creatures.
Drake ran around the Velotors he was fighting, avoiding their attacks as they turned their backs to him and fired some of their spikes. Jumping into the air he landed in the middle of them and finished them off with a series of kicks and punches.
"Just remember guys no matter how strong we are on our own," he said, grabbing a hold of the spike heading his way, "we're still strongest when we're a team."
Flipping the Velotor on to it's back the red ranger quickly kneeled down on one knee and punched it on the chest, causing the Velotor to vanish in a flash of green light while the others rejoined him.
"Impossible how were you able to beat the Velotors?" Cyclops asked confused.
"You kidding, they were nothing with our new powers," Trey remarked with a chuckle.
"Rangers can you hear me?" came Jenna's voice, Drake touching the side of his helmet.
"Loud and clear sis, what's up?"
"Ah good," Jenna said happily.
"It looks like you have some new weapons to try out as well," Jenna told them as she looked through what was on the computer, "nothing fancy like your Cyber Weapons but still strong enough to take down whatever you're fighting."
"Alright what do we need to do?" Drake asked as Jenna brought up a picture of five swords each with dinosaur heads on the hilt.
"Just place your hands on your Triassic Buckles and summon your Dino Blades," Conner informed them as he paced behind Jenna, "the power will know what to do."
"Alright," Drake said with a nod, "you heard them."
"Summon Dino Blades!" the rangers called out, placing their hands on their belt buckles.
The belt buckles glowed their ranger color as they pulled their hand back and a curved swords along with it, the blade coming from the mouth of their dinosaur.
"Oh man these look wicked!" Calder said looking his over.
"Totally cool," Kris agreed twirling hers around.
"Shall we try them out?" Drake asked running his hand down the blade.
"Oh yeah!" Trey replied crouching down.
The team ran forward, Cyclops attacking with his club to try to stop them. Cyclops soon found that he wasn't fast enough to keep up with the rangers and was attacked multiple times. Swinging at the pink ranger the one eyed monster grunted as his club was blocked by the blue and green ranger, opening him up for the red and yellow ranger to attack from behind. As Trey and Calder pushed his club to the side, Kris span around and slashed him across the gut, Cyclops yelping in pain as he backed up.
"You rangers will pay for that," he proclaimed, waving his club in the air above him.
"Just send us the bill," Drake told him as he and Trey attacked.
The two blades hit the club and broke Cyclops's weapon, Cyclops looking at his club in shock.
"My club!" he cried out as the rangers lined up.
"No use crying over spilled milk man," Calder said tapping his Dino Blade on his shoulder.
"I think it's time we end this," Drake said twirling his sword.
"W-what!" Cyclops yelped as the ranger's weapons started to glow their ranger colors.
Cyclops found himself surrounded by a forest that one would find in the time of the dinosaur, looking around at the trees before looking back at the rangers. The rangers all crouched down and pointed the tips of their Dino Blades at Cyclops, the glow of the blades gleaming in the sun.
"TRIASSIC BARRAGE!"
Kris glided forward, slashing Cyclops as the cry of the Pterodactyl rang out. Calder followed as the call of the Parasaur came while he slashed their opponent, followed by Amy with the cry of the Stegosaurus and then Trey with the cry of the raptor. Drake finished it up as he attacked with one final strong slash, the T-Rex calling out as everything went back to normal and Cyclops exploded. Coming to a halt in the of the group, Drake ran his hand along the blade of his weapon as Cyclops fell to the ground and exploded behind them.
"That was a Triassic Win," he said resting his sword on his shoulder.

"Inconceivable!" Magi said shaking his head furiously, "how were they able to get new powers?"
"Forgive me Empress," Destro apologized with a bow, "I had no idea that they would be able to do that."
"Allow me to go down there and eliminate the problem Empress Primora," Knirex offered with a wave of his sword.
"Silence," Primora ordered tightening her grip on her spear.
The three stood down as Primora stood up and walked over to the chessboard table, a quick wave of her hand and five new figures resembling the rangers appearing.
"I'm not mad," she said as she looked at the new pieces, placing a finger on the red ranger, "in fact I'm excited."
"Empress Primora?" Knirex asked confused.
"It's no fun to take over a planet if there's no challenge," Primora explained to them, "and these rangers will present me that challenge."
She then picked up the piece that looked like Cyclops and destroyed it with a burst of energy, the ashes falling from her hand.
"Trust me Triassic Rangers, I'm looking forward to this," she promised with a sinister smile, "and I'll throw everything I have at you until you break and bow before me."

The team arrived back at their base, greeted by Jenna and Merrick as they rushed over to congratulate them.
"You guys were amazing out there," Merrick said high fiving Calder.
"No doubt about that, these new powers are fantastic," Jenna agreed hugging Drake.
"Thanks guys," Drake said hugging her back.
"Congratulations rangers," Conner said smirking at them, "so how do you like the new powers?"
"I love them," Amy replied excitedly, placing her helmet on the table.
"With these new dino powers Primora better watch out," Kris said placing her helmet next to Amy's.
"Be careful to not let that go to your head," Kira warned them, "while your new powers are indeed formidable if you let your guard down Primora will take advantage of that."
"Kira's right," Conner told them, "never forget where you started and allow the battles you've fought to prepare you for future battles."
"We'll keep that in mind," Drake promised placing his helmet under his arm.
"So Trey what's it like to be the blue ranger?" Kris teased as Trey rubbed the back of his head.
"Definitely different," he admitted.
Merrick chuckled and slapped his back.
"You'll get use to it man, besides you look good in blue," he assured him.
"I'll say," Amy agreed with a smirk.
"So Alcon's gone and Primora has taken her place," Drake said as the team surrounded the table, "and with these new powers we'll continue to protect the Earth and save the past rangers once and for all."
"No matter what happens rangers, just know that the past rangers and Zordon would be proud of you," Alpha told them making them smile.
The rangers nodded and Drake placed his fist in the center of the circle, the others joining in and completing the symbol.
"Triassic Rangers, get ready to roar."
