Dino Thunder: Revised Chapter 1: Day of the Dino, a power rangers fanfic

A/N: My friend, Dawnclark, decided not to finish this story, so she let me do it for her.

Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers. I don't even own the first two chapters to this story.

Hello, all! I added the second part to this chapter. This chapter isn't that much different from the actual show. But there will be a big change in the next chapter. Plus I'm not bringing Hayley in to the story. I may mention her but that's about it. Don't forget to review!

Now on with the story...

------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Kimberly Hart ran through the dimly lit building like wildfire, as explosions start to go off around her. A voice from behind her called out to find her no matter what it takes. She ran through one of the corridors and then flew in the other direction when she saw one of the creatures in the in the middle of her way. Kim ran for the light, when another series of explosions went off. She literally flew out the door.

She scrambled up to catch her breath. The girl ran for her life as two of the creatures took a leap from the building and flat backed her. Ow... okay, that hurt. She grabbed her ribs as pain shot through her. More creatures surrounded her. She took her first kick and one of the creatures flew back. Doing a back flip, her feet caught the creature and sent it flying back, like the first. She landed, twisted, and came up to block a lunge by another one of them.

She whirled into a sweeping kick, and brought the advancing two to the ground. Then she sprung up and caught the third with a snap kick to the chest, sending him sprawling. She was soon caught by to of them and kicked to the ground.

An explosion went off behind them, stunning some of the attacking monsters. She managed to get to the edge of the cliff and looked toward the ocean.

"Not good!"

Another massive explosion hit and Kim had no choice but to risk jumping downward to the ocean. She hit the water, and fortunately, was able to swim back upwards and witness the destruction of the island she was just on, as it sank in to the sea.

In the city of Reefside, California, Kimberly was walking up the steps of Reefside High School. Granted, she didn't look like a science teacher in her light pink shirt with black pants and glasses, but she definitely had the qualifications.

Students were milling about, getting ready for class. Now came a new problem. Finding the principal. And she probably would have found her sooner had she not ran smack dab into a student. She fell on her butt, caught off guard.

"Sorry. Here let me give you a hand." The boy she ran into held it out for her to take, which she did.

"No, it's my fault. I wasn't watching where I was going." Kim said to the boy. He was tall, with brown hair and a red soccer shirt on.

"Conner McNight." He introduced himself.

"Kimberly Hart." She returned.

"You're new here?" He asked, wherever he was heading completely forgotten for the moment.

"Yeah. You could say that."

"Hmm... So, do you wanna go out sometime?" He grinned, totally unaware he was hitting on his new science teacher.

"No. I don't think so." She replied, amused more than anything.

The boy, Conner, just shrugged. "Well, I have class. Goodbye." He turned around and left.

As she was watching Conner walk away, a voice from behind her called out: "Dr. Hart. I'm Principal Randall."

Kim turned to find the woman she was looking for stare at her calculatingly.

"Nice to meet you." Kim held out her hand. The other woman ignored it and flipped through her portfolio. So she tried another tactic. "So, uh, it's your first day, too, isn't it?"

Principal Randall looked up at her. She seemed suspicious of Kim for some reason. "Yes, and I'm still trying to figure out why a doctor of paleontology would come all the way to Reefside to teach science to teenagers."

Kim shrugged. "Guess I'm looking for some peace and quiet."

Randall answered, "So you become a high school teacher. That doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, now does it Dr. Hart."

Kim shook her head. "What do you expect of me?"

Randall stopped in the middle of the hall and looked straight into the petite woman's eyes. "I expect you to make it hard for them, painful if at all possible. If they smile, you know you're doing something wrong. Now I'm off to find my first truant. We'll talk later." She stomped of after a student.

Kim stood in the middle of the hall with a puzzled expression on her face.

Kim entered the classroom to see students standing up, goofing around, and a few airplanes are being flown across the room. It was only her old ranger reflexes that let her manage to dodge a spit ball that came flying her way.

"Okay, everyone. Take your seats." They didn't even hear her. She let out an ear piercing whistle.

All the students covered their ears and turned to the source of the offending noise.

Kim gave them a smile and told them to take their seats, which they did with some confusion. She took her place in front of the class and gave it a once over. "I'm Dr. Hart, and this is first period science. Before we start, are there any questions?"

One very eager girl in the front row raised her hand. She stood up when Kim acknowledged her. "Cassidy. Cassidy Cornell." The class gave their teacher looks between sympathy and pity. She continued, "Dr. Hart, as you may know, I'm the anchor and field reporter for our school TV station. Anyway, you know girl to girl, I'm sure our viewers are wondering. Well, you don't really look old enough to be a teacher."

Kim had to stop herself from rolling her eyes.

Cassidy turned to the boy who was sitting beside her. "Devon, are you getting this?" Devon jumped up and fumbled around for the camera.

Dr. Hart gave her the answer before he even found the camera. "Cassidy, I promise you, I'm old enough. So lets put the camera away."

Cassidy frowned and turned to the boy. "Devon, you missed it!" She hit him upside the head and returned to her seat. He just shrugged and returned to his.

Kim scanned the room again. "Is there someone missing?"

Conner McNight bicycle kicked the soccer goalie, who dived out of the way as the ball zoomed past his head. "Dude, you're supposed to try and stop it."

The goalie, who was more dressed as a hockey goalie, asked Conner, "You're sure we're not going to get in trouble for this? I mean, the bell rang and it's the first day."

Conner shook his head. "Look, if anyone says anything, tell'em Conner McNight gave you permission to be out here."

The goalie started to walk away from the goal. "Yeah, but I heard the new principal is crazy. She worked in a prison or something before she came here."

Conner tried to reassure him by saying, "Don't worry about Randall. She's a woman, and women are just grown-up girls." He didn't seem to notice that said principal was walking up behind him.

The goalie all but yelled about the oncoming woman.

"Need I say more?" Conner was confused by the goalie's strange behavior.

A voice from behind him called out (she seemed to be able to sneak up a lot today), "I think you've said quite enough, Mr. McNight."

Caught, soccer player turned around and said, "Principal Randall, I have heard such great things about you." He really didn't like how that woman was looking at him.

She just glared at him. "Vicious rumors, I assure you." She turned and snarled at the other student, "What are you looking at?" She kicked the ball with lightening speed at the student, knocking him into the back of the net. "Now get back to class!" She yelled, and the student ran off, as Conner walked away along side the principal.

In a utility shed near the main school building, Ethan James snuck in along side another student. He plugged in a cable to the computer system and started typing. Ethan told the other student, " I wrote a program that generates a code that will turn on the sprinkler system on at different times every day." He fished out his umbrella. "Let it rain."

Kira Ford sat on a picnic table, during her lunch period. She strummed her guitar and sang,

"I want to know

Know where you're at

I'm at the front

But you're still at the back

Oh, can you tell me where

Tell me where you're at

Freak you out

Freak you out"

Applause went around the group surrounding her. The principal approached her, dragging another student from behind her. "Miss Ford, I'm afraid you need written permission to perform on school grounds. Let's go," She let go of Conner and wrote in her binder.

Kira asked the principal, "Are you aware that kids who play an instrument have a 50 higher chance of getting into college?"

That didn't even phase her. "Well, you're hardly college material now, are you, Miss. Ford?"

Kira could literally hear her jaw drop at the remark.

"Come with me." Randall grabbed her by the arm and dragged her across the grass.

They didn't even get five feet when the sprinklers hit them with full force. Students scattered and Kira, Conner, and Principal Randall moved to avoid them. They moved out of the way of the sprinklers, when they saw Ethan walk through them with an umbrella over his head.

"I should have known." Principal Randall latched on to him and dragged him into the hallway with the other two students.

Ethan tried to excuse himself, "Hey, there is no hard evidence linking me to the 'unfortunate sprinkler incident'."

"Save it for Judge Judy, Mr. James! The three of you have detention, for one week, starting today. Now if there are no further questions..."

The three students started to argue at once, but their pleas were quickly silenced. "I didn't think so!" The principal walked into a nearby room and closed the door.

"Okay, somebody seriously needs a hug," Kira look at the door the woman had stomped into.

Conner gave Ethan a surprised look. "Dude, computer club?"

Kimberly Hart was intercepted by Randall at the bottom of the stairwell. And her day had been going good, until then.

Randall asked her, "How was your first day?"

Kim replied, "The kids were great and there were no problems."

"Good, you're going to be seeing a lot more of them, in detention."

Kim raised her eyebrows. "Mind telling me what I did?"

"No, you're in charge of it today."

"I can't. I have plans to go to the museum outside of town." Okay, that was a feeble excuse.

"Perfect! Bring the little monsters with you. That should be sufficient torture for them." Randall spotted the students in the middle of the hall, waiting.

Kim recognized two from her first period science and the other one who had hit on her in this morning. And from the look on Conner's face he recognized her, too.

Conner indeed did recognized her and was about to ask her what she did when Principal Randall reintroduced them.

"This is Dr. Hart. She will be monitoring you're detention, today." Randall could honestly say she enjoyed the look of shock on the soccer players face. "Enjoy your outing." She turned around and headed toward the exit.

Kim removed her glasses. "So, you guys like museums?"

When they approached the museum in Kimberly's jeep, Ethan excitedly told the others, "Check out the T-Rex." The T-Rex was about fifty feet tall and an orangish color.

Kim told the others to stay put and she exited the jeep. The closer she got she noticed the chain covering the parking lot. It said that the museum was closed. "That's weird."

"Closed? Oh well, no museum for us," Conner said as Kim returned to the jeep (Dawn: Jeep? I MISS BOB!!! it's a Roswell thing. Just go on a head and ignore this).

Kira stood up in the back of the jeep. "We should go home."

Kim shook her head. "Let's have a look around the grounds, and if you have anything prehistoric I'll cancel detention for the rest of the week."

"Sweet!" Ethan seemed very excited by it. And why wouldn't he be?

"I'll try to find someone who will be able to tell me when they open." Kim turned and headed toward the building.

Conner turned toward Ethan as they headed for the wooded area. "So let me get this straight- they have a club just for computers?"

Kimberly saw the flyer as she headed for the door. But that couldn't be right, could it? "Anton Mercer? That's impossible." He should be dead. He was on the island while it blew up, wasn't he?

Meanwhile, in the forest area nearby, Ethan asked the others, "Hey, did you guys ever hear the story about the guy who was hiking up here and fell in a giant sinkhole?"

Kira looked at him. "I must have missed that one."

Ethan just turned around to face them and started to walk backwards. "It's on all the urban legend websites."

"Dude, you know that this isn't computer club, right?" Conner informed him.

"Oh, I guess you're to big and bad to surf the web. Well, what do you do in your spare time?" Ethan asked.

Conner replied, "Me, I go out with girls. You know, they're the ones at school that smell really good with the long hair and the makeup."

Ethan looked miffed. "I wasn't the one who hit on Dr. Hart."

Conner was surprised. "How do you know that?"

The computer wiz just shrugged. "The whole school knows."

"Nothing escapes the school web vine. Especially for a jock." Ethan grinned.

"I didn't know she was a teacher." He defended himself.

Kira shook her head. "You're just impressed by any pretty girl who can walk and talk."

Conner blinked. "She doesn't have to talk."

"Oh, so it's like that, is it?" Ethan challenged him.

Conner told him, "It is."

Kira stepped in between them. "Not that this display of male masculinity isn't amusing, but we really don't have time for it."

Ethan backed off, "All I'm trying to do is give you guys the heads up. Stuff happens out here. Just don't go crying to me when you fall in a giant sinkhole."

And as if on cue, all three fall into a sinkhole.

Kim walked back to the jeep, trying to find his students. That's strange. Very strange. The Tyrannosaurus display had gone missing. How could something so large disappear so quickly? Then she felt something come up behind her. A big something. She turned to find the Tyrannosaurus alive and staring down his new lunch.

The T-Rex roared at him at a very close range. Okay, now she was a little scared. She jumped and kicked the T-Rex, making him grimace in pain. Kim jumped in to her jeep and locked the door, suddenly finding out that was a stupid idea sense there was no ceiling on her jeep. "Yeah, lock the door, Kimberly, real good." She spoke to herself. Oh, no. Come on you stupid jeep start. Start! Finally. Kim put on her seat belt and accelerated in reverse for a while, before spinning the jeep around and racing away from the dinosaur.

The students appeared to have fallen in a cavern of some sorts.

Conner turned to the other two, "All right. You guys, stay here where it's safe. I'll climb up and come back with help." As he started to climb, a small rock where his hand was gave away, and he fell on his butt. Now he knew how Dr. Hart felt.

Ethan looked at the other boy in amusement, "Back already?"

The Tyrannosaurus continued to pursue Kim down the highway, and she floored the accelerator. However, the T-Rex caught up and used it's head to spin Kim's jeep, but she soon regained control.

"Freak you out

Freak you out

Freak you out"

Kira sang while she paced.

Conner looked at her with annoyance. "Babe, can you keep it down? I'm trying to stay focused here?"

She was majorly offended. Kira stomped over to him, angrily. "Did you just call me 'babe'?" She turned to Ethan. "Did he just call me 'babe'?"

Ethan just closed his eyes. "I'm not getting in the middle of this."

Conner backed slightly away from her. She was seriously invading his personal space. " Just chill out, why don't you?"

Kira closed in on him and shoved her face like three inches from his. "Listen, my name is Kira. Maybe you should write on your hand or something, so you can remember." She and Ethan walked past him.

Kim was still trying to out run the T-Rex when she saw the overpass. She led the dinosaur right into it, taking out part of the overpass when it the T-Rex ran in to it. The dinosaur collapsed. Kim stopped the jeep and sat in it for a few minutes making sure the thing wouldn't jump right back up. She got out of the jeep and approached the thing cautiously. There were sparks coming out of it's electronic brain.

There was a large dinosaur sitting right in front of the students.

"This screams 'Jurassic Park' to me," Kira inspected the thing at a distance.

Conner, on the other hand, wasn't so cautious. "This will get us out of detention forever." He accidentally moved the things mouth.

They heard a noise from behind and saw a wall to raise. The three of the quietly entered the room and took it in. It was a laboratory-like room, filled with a couple of dinosaur fossils and monitors in the back.

Kira was the first to speak, "This would make a killer video."

Conner looked at Ethan, "This must be like the mother ship to you."

Ethan himself was still in shock of his surroundings. "Normally, I'd be insulted, but when you're right, you're right."

Conner noticed the pedestal in the middle of the room. He reached out to touch the red egg-like crystal.

Ethan's hand shot out and grabbed Conner's hand before it touched it. "Don't touch it."

Conner was curious. "Why not?"

The other boy shook his head. "You really are taking this 'dumb jock' thing to a new level."

Conner rolled his eyes. "Look, I have sat though enough lame science classes to know that thing looks fully prehistoric. And if I don't have to miss practice..." He grabbed the red one.

Kira agreed, "I hate to agree with him- really I do, but I already missed one rehearsal." She took the yellow one.

Still uncertain, he gingerly took the last crystal. The blue one.

Kira examined hers. "What are they?"

Ethan no longer looked doubtful, but excited. "I can go online later to find out."

Conner replied sarcastically, "You in front of a computer? Wait, let me put on my surprised face."

Ethan frowned. "You know, 10 years from now when your hairline's receding and you're playing pickup soccer in the park 'cause your dreams of turning pro never quite worked out, I'll have my own multibillion dollar software business. Yeah," Ethan grinned.

Conner observed Kira start to walk out, out of the corner of his eye.

Ethan asked her, "Where are you going?"

"I don't want to think about the kind of freak who lives in a place like this, and sure don't wanna be here when it gets home."

"I'm right behind you." Conner was sure he didn't want to be here either. Who knew what lived in here?

In the middle of the ocean an island rose out of the water.

In a building, a dinosaur-like creature named Mesogog spoke to his henchmen. "The gems have moved. I can feel them. Go. Bring them to me."

It was about ten minutes later that Ethan saw the light. "Hey guys, I found an exit." He led the other two back out in to the forest. "Anyone have a compass?" As a reply the others looked at him like he was stupid.

They jumped when they heard a howling noise.

"Okay. What was that?" Ethan twirled in circles to find the source of the sound.

"Maybe it's the wind?" Kira guessed.

Ethan knew it wasn't. "That ain't the wind," More noises were heard. "As much as we'd like it to be, it ain't."

A bunch of Mesogog's henchmen appeared in front of them.

"Don't move." Conner whispered to the others.

Kira looked at him like he was stupid. "Great idea, make it easy for them.

The henchmen started to close in on them

Ethan's eyes widened. "New plan- run!" The three ran.

Conner and Ethan jumped the upcoming trench, but Kira missed the edge and tripped. The boys doubled back and helped her out. She gave them grateful look. Unfortunately, she hadn't gotten very far when she stumbled and the henchmen caught up with her. As they closed in she let out a piercing scream that forced the monsters backward and made the boys cover their ears. The others yanked Kira to her feet and hauled her forward.

"What was that?" Ethan questioned, amazed.

Kira replied that she had no idea. She looked down at the yellow gem still in her hand. It was glowing. And she wasn't sure but she thought she was and heard a Pterodactyl in it. She must be losing it.

The monsters prepared to attack again, and the three ran in separate directions.

Kira managed to hold off the ones that were attacking her, by throwing and kicking some of them away from her. She really had no idea how. But she did.

Meanwhile, Ethan was grabbed by two monsters, and two others grabbed his legs and threw him to the ground. As he started to get up, a henchmen took a swing at him. Ethan blocked it as his arm transformed in to the reptilian form, which he used to force the monster back. "Something's happening to me," Ethan mumbled to himself. He saw his blue gem glowing and it had an image of a Triceratops in the middle of it.

Conner, himself, was thrown against a tree when he saw the Tyrannosaurus in his gem. When he looked up he noticed that everything is in slow motion and took the advantage to kick two of the monsters away. He called to the others, "Over here."

They gathered around each other and gasped for breath.

Ethan grinned as the creatures disappeared. "Yo, how much do I love detention."

Kim caught up with them. "Are you guys alright?"

Ethan was the one who answered. "Yeah, couldn't be better."

Their teacher wasn't sure about that answer. "Nothing out of the ordinary happened?"

The boy with the blue crystal simply replied. "Nah, just uh, your routine hike in the woods. Lots of furry little creatures."

Kira rolled her eyes and mumbled, "And a few scaly ones."

Dr. Hart gave her a curious look, but before she could inquire Conner turned her attention to him.

"So, Dr. H, were you able to get into the Dino Exhibit?"

Kim ignored the nickname. "Uh, they're still working the kinks out. We better get you guys back. Come on," She headed back to the jeep.

Kira looked at Conner and Ethan. "Should we tell her?"

Ethan shook his head. "I don't know about you, but I've got about over a thousand sci-fi DVDs. You want to know how many times the dude with the superpowers ends up in some freaky government lab lying on a table with wires in his head?"

Conner said that even he knew the answer to that one.

Kimberly turned around, "You coming with me?"

The three walked up the steps to the door.

Conner told the others, "OK, so we all agree- no one talks about this- to anyone, no matter what."

Kira stopped him dead in his tracks. "I can do better than that." She shoved her gem into his hand. "I'm out of it. Just forget I was here, and I'll do the same."

The other boy asked, "Wait. How come he gets it?"

Kira took the gem out of Conner's and put it in to Ethan's. "Well, here."

Cassidy and Devon were walking nearby.

Cassidy continued her rant. "I'm telling you, there's something weird about Dr. Hart. I mean, seriously, I called Angel Grove High and they wouldn't tell me anything. It's like her private records are some big secret."

Devon just replied, "I thought that's why they called them private records."

That was when Cassidy saw what she did. Conner McNight, Ethan James, and Kira Ford. Talking. Together. She pulled Devon behind a blue Ford station wagon.

"What?" Devon asked.

Cassidy pointed to the group. "Don't you think that's a little odd?" She sure did.

"A bunch of kids standing around talking. Yeah, freaky, man." He replied sarcastically.

She was tempted to hit him in the head again. "No, think about it. Why would Conner McNight, king of all jocks, be hanging out with Ethan James?"

"Huh?"

"King of all Geeks." She continued, "Not to mention the Avril wannabe. I mean, seriously, in the 3 years we've been at Reefside, have you ever seen them look at each other, 'cause I haven't."

"You know what. I give up!" Kira all but yelled to them in frustration. She stomped off. All of a sudden she was surrounded by another batch of henchmen. Not good. "Oh, you got to be kidding me!" They grab her and she drops her bag. "Get away freaks!" She heard Conner and Ethan call her name.

Cassidy hurried the boy beside her. "Get the camera!"

Devon opened the bag and everything spilled out of it. He finally gets the camera out as Kira's mouth was covered by the monster and the monsters take her and teleport out.

"So, what do you see?"

Devon grinned. "Oh, you gotta check this out. I got an awesome shot." He showed her the shot of where he had gotten the trees and sky above where the incident happened.

"There's nothing there." She didn't hesitate to hit him this time.

"She's gone." Ethan said worriedly. Both him and Conner were moving fast down an a road in an older model red sports car of Conner's.

Conner glanced at him, "Where are we going?"

Ethan replied, "We're going to Dr. Hart's house."

"What's she gonna do?" He asked angrily.

Ethan tried to calm him down. "She's a dinosaur person. These things are dinosaurs- sort of."

Conner just asked, "Where does she live?"

Ethan pulled out a palm pilot. "1992 Valencia Road."

"Dude, that's way out in the middle of the woods."

When they finally reach her house, Ethan knocks on the door but no one answers.

"Try again."

Ethan did what Conner said, but still no one answered. "So what do we do now?"

Conner walks up to the door and gives it a push. It opened easily.

"What are you doing?"

"Why would he leave it unlocked?" Conner asked Ethan.

He replied, "He has no neighbors."

"What, you never heard of the three bears?"

Ethan gave him a depreciatory look. "Is that the last book you've read?"

Conner glared at him, which just got a grin. They entered the house.

"Dr. Hart?" There was no response.

Conner noticed a smaller scale of the dinosaur that led them in to the cave-like place they entered yesterday. "Ethan, check this out." He drew the boys attention to the fossil.

Ethan saw Conner reach for the mouth. "Remember what happened last time you did that?"

Conner shook his head and pulled down the mouth. "Dude, the woman's a teacher, not..." It opened a hidden stairwell. "Batman." He finished.

They exchanged glances and went down it.

Ethan's eye's widened. "Woah."

"Are you freaking out now?" Conner asked.

Ethan blinked, still in shock. "Yeah, I'd have to say I am."

A feminine voice from behind them spoke. "If you're looking for extra credit, you're in the wrong place."

They turned to find Dr. Kimberly Hart behind them.

On the island in the middle of the ocean, Kira laid on a chair unconscious.

"Ah, excellent." Mesogog stepped out of the shadows.

"Dr. H?! What are you doing here?" Conner looked on in shock as he saw his teacher dressed in full science garb.

She glared at the students. "I could ask you the same thing."

Before Conner could respond Ethan stopped him. "Before you go off, can we explain why we're here?"

Conner stared at Ethan like he was stupid. "She'll laugh." He whispered harshly.

Ethan reassured him. "She'll believe us. It's the truth." Well, he hoped she would.

Kim closed in on them. "I'm waiting." She raised her eyebrow at them, waiting for an explanation.

Conner held his hand up in surrender. Well, here it goes. "Kira's gone."

"She got taken by these weird-looking dinosaur things." Ethan added.

Oh, God. This can't be happening. Kim heard Conner say that she didn't looked convinced. Oh, she was convinced, alright. How could she let that happen? Sighing, she ran her hands through her hair. She headed toward the console, making sure the two were following her. Finally, she spoke. "They're called Tyrannodrones." She turned to face them.

"And you know this how?" Ethan inquired.

"I helped create them." She stated simply.

Ethan quipped. "Oh, class program?"

She waved her hand at them. "It's a long story. For now we need to figure what they want with Kira."

Ethan looked down guiltily.

Conner dug around in his pockets for the gems. "It might have something to do with these." He held them out to her.

Kim's eyes widened. The gems!!!

Kira woke to find herself sitting in some sort of chair that reminded her of a dentist's.

"Give me the gems!"

Kira hopped off of the chair and turned in circles. "Who's there?!" She demanded in a panic.

"Give me the gems!" The voice demanded again.

Her eyes widened. She turned in another circle. "Is this about jewelry? Look pal, clearly you've got the wrong girl. I may wear a friendship bracelet once in a while, but..."

Mesogog appeared next to her. "I have waited far too long to allow some insignificant teenager to get in my way. Now, where are the Dino Gems?"

Kira backed away from him. What was he talking about? Oh, wait... "You mean those rock things we found in the cave?"

Mesogog hissed at her. "Yes."

She shook her head. He had her backed her up until she hit the wall. "I gave mine to Conner and Ethan. You'll have to ask them. Can I go now? My mom's gonna freak if I'm late for dinner. It's taco night." She flinched and when she opened her eyes he was gone. "That's it. No more cafeteria food," She mumbled to herself. Turning to the side, she encountered a woman dressed in black.

The woman smirked at her. "You'll be lucky if you ever see food again."

Ethan watched his teacher. "We're really sorry. How were we supposed to know those things had, like, superpowers and those lizard dudes were gonna come looking for 'em."

Kim held the yellow Dino Gem up to the light. "I guess it isn't exactly something you see every day." Here it wasn't, anyways.

Ethan motion to the room around him. "Sort of like a science teacher with the ruins of an ancient civilization under her house?" He asked her.

Conner spoke up, impatient. "Like, not that this isn't all really cool, but seriously, babe, you gotta come clean."

Kim shoved her finger in his face. It was pretty funny actually. Seeing such a petite woman waving her finger in guy's, who had at least six inches on her, face. "Okay, first of all, don't call me 'babe'. Second, as hard as this may seem, you guys need to forget all about this. (Like that's realistic) I'll find Kira." She headed toward the exit, only to be cut off by Conner, who had super speeded in front of her. Oh. Goody. More explaining. Still, she seemed to soften some. She smiled a little. "The gem's powers already started to bond with you."

Conner stared at her. "You gonna tell us about it now or at our next parent teacher conference?"

"You got a name? You kinda look familiar." Kira studied the woman.

The woman snarled at her. "My master calls me Elsa."

Kira raised her eyebrows. "Your master? Okay, whatever. Look, I'm going to let myself out." She headed toward the door, only to have to woman grab her shoulder. Kira grabbed Elsa's arm and kicked her away. Her eyes widened. "Whoa, I so did not mean to do that." She turned around to try to get toward the exit only to find a silver monster with an axe and shield.

Elsa glared at the teen. The girl had spunk. She hated that. "Meet Zeltrax."

"You two dating, or just friends?" Kira asked. She saw the creature, Zeltrax, try to take a swing at her. Some how it created telekinetic waves that knocked him to the ground. She ran out in to the hall. Elsa's orders to capture her rang out in the hall. Turning back to check if they were catching up, she didn't notice that she ran straight in to some green, glowing sphere thing. She disappeared.

Conner and Ethan were ridding in Dr. Hart's jeep, trying to find Kira.

"When you said that you help create those Tyranno-whatevers, you were just kidding, right?" Ethan leaned forward between the seats.

Kim answered him. "They weren't supposed to be used like this. Someone's modified their programming. A few years back, I was doing research on combining dinosaur DNA with technology. My partner, a scientist named Anton Mercer..."

Ethan interrupted her. "The rich guy who disappeared years ago." He stated.

Kim nodded in conformation. "Yep. Shortly after Mercer disappeared, our lab was attacked. I thought all of our research had been destroyed, but apparently..." She trailed off, letting them fill in the blanks.

"And the guy who did it is back?" Conner asked.

Kim stopped at the stop sign. "He call himself Mesogog."

Conner watched her. "And you think he's after the gems?"

She shrugged. "Looks like it."

"Look, this is all totally fascinating, but how is it helping us find Kira? I mean, she's not just going to fall out of the sky and land right in front of us."

As if on cue, Kira fell from a green energy portal right on top of the jeep, triggering it's alarm.

Conner and Ethan exchanged glances and quickly jumped out of the jeep, helping her up.

"How did you do that?" Ethan asked her amazed.

Kira looked at them, stunned. "I have no idea. One minute I'm being chased by Franken-lizard through this creepy lab, and the next thing I know- I'm a hood ornament."

Kim nodded, getting out. "Invisaportals."

Kira held up her hands. "Whatever. Next time, I'm calling a cab." The looked at them curiously. "What are you guys doing here?" She asked.

Ethan grinned sheepishly. "We came to rescue you."

Kira rolled her eyes. "Nice job. Way to show up when I don't need you anymore."

An invisaportal appeared, sending Zeltrax and the Tyrannodrones out on to the road.

Kim, Kira, Ethan, and Conner turned to them.

Conner glanced at Kira. "You sure about that?"

Kim stepped out in front of the others. "Mesogog found a new goon to do his dirty work?"

Zeltrax glared at her. "You are not fit to speak my master's name. Come with me peacefully, or suffer the consequences."

Yeah. Like that's going to happen. "I'm going to have to say..." She pretended to think about it. "No." A tyrannodrone attacked her. She jumped on her jeep, using it as a balance to kick the creature, only to be kicked back against the jeep. She grabbed her stomach. "Looks like Mesogog made a few improvements." Zeltrax tried to take a swing at her, but she used the door to block the attack. Great. Now she needed to get a new paint job. He forced the door shut, as Kim swung over the top of the drivers seat, then over the trunk. She jumped off and he took another swing.

Kira threw and kicked the drones away from her. She backed away from them and let out a telekinetic shriek, tossing the remaining ones on their back. "Okay, that's just crazy."She mumbled to herself.

Ethan turned around and kicked an empty crate back at them. He tried to kick a tyrannodrone, but got knocked to the ground. The next time the drone attacked, he blocked it with his reptilian-like arm, and pushed it away.

Conner kicked on of the Tyrannodrones. "Now you see me." Using his super speed he avoided two of them. He kicked another to the ground. He smirked. "Now you're unconscious." He finished.

Kim got kicked to the ground by Zeltrax.

Zeltrax glowered at her. "You're no match for me." He told her.

Kim preformed a tornado kick that forced him back. She smirked. "Make sure to tell your master, Dr. Hart's back."

He backed off, the drones joining him. "I will inform him. This battle is over, but the war has only just begun." They teleported out.

Ethan appeared next to her. "That's the best he could do?"

Kim glanced at them. "Let's get out of here. It's getting late. I don't want your parents to worry." She motioned for them to follow her.

Conner stopped her. "I bet you don't- you might have to explain something."

"I'll fill you in tomorrow after school- I promise."

The students were getting ready for first period science when Cassidy ambushed Kira with a tape recorder. She smiled at the yellow clad girl. Maybe now she would get some answers. "Kira Ford- Cassidy Cornell, Reefside News Network."

"Cassidy, I know who you are. We're in home room together."

That didn't seem to phase Cassidy. "Yeah, anyway, what can you tell me about the mysterious goings-on at Reefside? For example, the sudden friendship between you, Conner McNight, and Ethan James?" Before Kira could answer Cassidy spoke again. "...Or better yet, the strange creatures that appeared out of nowhere and they just attacked you in broad daylight. What about that, huh?"

Kira pushed the tape recorder out of her face. She spoke to Cassidy in a sensible tone. "Look, I have no idea what you're talking about. But as you can see, I'm just fine. But you, you look kind of, well... pasty."

Cassidy's eyes doubled in size. "Pasty? Are you serious?" She pulled out a compact. "I hate florescent lighting!"

That was the way that Kim found her. "Cassidy, unless you plan on giving a lecture on the Mesozoic period, I suggest you take your seat."

Cassidy gave her an embarrassed look and did so.

"Thank you." She leaned against her desk. "OK. Who can tell me when it all began?" Kim began.

There was a rumble as the sky went dark and the earth shook. The power fluctuated, before returning. The students ran to the window, watching the powerful storm that Mesogog's forces had started.

Zeltrax communicated to his master from his ship, flying above the city. "The Bio Zords are running free, master."

The Tyrannosaurus marched down a street, the Triceratops ripped through cars, and the Pterodactyl hovered over the ground, scaring innocent bystanders.

Devon ran in to the classroom, practically bouncing. "Cass, you are not going to believe this!"

Cassidy didn't even blink. "Let me guess- the sky just went black in the middle of the day?" She asked.

Devon looked at her in wonder. He look outside. "It did? Whoa! Look at that."

"Devon, hello! What?" She waved her hand in front of his face.

He blinked and looked at her. "Oh, yeah, right. Look, I just heard this whack report about mechanical dinosaurs attacking downtown."

That caught Kim's attention.

Cassidy grinned. "Ooh, grab your camera." She barely heard Devon say he's got it. This was the opportunity of a life time.

Kim held out her hand to stop them. "Wait, hold it you two."

Principal Randall's voice came over the intercom. "Students, remain calm. The mayor has declared a state of emergency." Devon and Cassidy headed out the door as soon as Dr. Hart's back was turned. "Please report to the front of the school for immediate dismissal. Again, remain calm."

The students practically ran to the door.

Conner, Kira, and Ethan walked up to their teacher.

Kira spoke to her first. "Dr. H, now would be a good time to have that little chat."

Kim shook her head. It was time to put them to the test. "We're out of time. If Mesogog revived the Bio Zords, we got to act fast. Come with me."

Ethan and the others followed her. He asked, "What's the worst that can happen?"

Conner sighed.

Kira followed the others down the steps. " So these mechanical dinosaurs, they're your friends?"

Kim dug around for the box she was looking for. There it is. "Bio Zords- fusion powered replicates using actual dinosaur DNA for their neuro- functions." She pulled it out of it's place, careful not to knock anything over.

"Wait, let me guess, you helped build them?" Ethan asked.

Kim sighed. "I'm afraid so, but right now, we- I mean you, have to tame them."

Ethan looked at her like she was crazy. "I'll B.B.L. if it's all the same to you." He started to walk off.

"Ethan wait. You can do this, but you won't have to do it alone. Ever since I found the Dino Gems, I've had these waiting, in case I ever needed to harness their powers." Kim sat the case on the table and opened it. She showed it to them.

Kira looked at the contraptions with curiosity. "Into what?" She asked cautiously.

Kim grinned at them. "Dino Morphers. Use these to become Power Rangers."

"I gotta sit down." Ethan said and nearly collapsed.

Conner placed his hands on the other boys shoulder, stopping him from falling down. "Breathe, dude."

Kira gave Dr. H an astonished look. "We can't be Power Rangers. Aren't you supposed fly, or have superhuman strength, and stuff like that?"

Not necessarily. "But you do."

"Oh yeah, I forgot." She was still astonished.

Kim explained about them. "Your gems are from the asteroid that crashed int the Earth millions of years ago, wiping out the entire dinosaur population. When I found them, I recognized their power and hid them so they wouldn't fall into the wrong hands."

"How do you know these are the right hands?" Conner asked.

"The gems are yours. You didn't choose them- they chose you."

Kira queried. "Can't they unchoose us?"

Kim shook her head. "They've already bonded with your DNA. That's what has given you your powers."

"So, if they've already bonded with us, how come Mesogog and his creeps are still after 'em?" Ethan asked her.

Kim sighed. "The only way that the powers can be taken away if your destroyed."

Ethan was taken back. "Okay, for future reference, that's not a great selling point."

Conner stepped forward. "Look, all I know is, I don't remember asking to be a superhero."

Neither do I. "The gems wouldn't have bonded to you if you didn't already have something inside you that can handle the power." She pushed the case forward, urging the students to take the morpher.

The morphers glowed as the student took them.

"So now what? Do we need some kind of secret password or command?" Ethan strapped his to his wrist.

Kim smiled. "All you have to say is 'Dino Thunder, Power Up!' and you'll transform. You'll know what to do."

Conner grinned at Ethan. "Dino Thunder? What, did you come up with that?"

Ethan returned it. "I kinda like it."

"You would." Conner returned.

Kim rolled her eyes. "Look, I know you three are from different world, I get it. But you're going to have to work together, or this will never happen. This won't be easy. Few know this better than I do, but your going to have to believe in yourselves, because I believe in you."

Conner head snapped up at her. He had been studying the morpher. "Really?"

"Really." She confirmed.

The four of them arrived down town and saw the gigantic creatures.

"Must be them." Conner said.

"Wow, way to state the obvious, Conner." Kim exclaimed, sarcastically.

A red energy spiral appeared nearby, and Zeltrax teleported down. "You'll have to get past me before you get those zords!" He warned the teens.

"That's the part I'm looking forward to!" Conner spoke to him, both confidently and defiantly.

Ethan looked at the other two, noticing their teacher leaning against the jeep. "You guys ready."

Kira grinned. "Oh yeah!"

"Ready!" Conner called out as he extended his left arm across his chest to show the morpher.

"Ready!" The Kira and Ethan confirmed.

The three activated their morpher, by shouting out, "Dino Thunder, Power Up! Ha!" and the morphing sequence begun.

A new team of Power Ranger was born, Power Rangers Dino Thunder.

Kira glanced down at her newly morphed self. "Whoa, this totally rocks!"

"So you're Power Rangers," Zeltrax called out as he clenched his fist.

Kim called out to them. "Call your weapons from your belt."

Conner replied, "You got it, Dr. H!" His belt glowed and his weapon appeared. "Nice, I got a Tyranno Staff!"

Kira grabbed hers from mid air. "I can come to grips with this- Ptera Grips!"

Ethan followed. "Sweet, a Tricera Shield!"

"Enough!" Zeltrax exclaimed as the drones appeared.

Kira used her Ptera Grips to strike the henchmen. She crouched. "Is that all you got?" She asked as she unleashed a rapid kick on them.

Ethan swung at the Tyrannodrones with his shield. When the monsters surrounded him, he swung shield in a circle and used it to grab one monster and throw it in to the group. "See ya!" He said as he once again tossed a monster in the air.

Conner swung his staff at the henchmen. "Have a nice trip! See ya next fall!" (Which seemed slightly familiar to Kim) He used the weapon to strike at several of the drones.

"Freeze!" Ethan demanded of Zeltrax.

"You first!" He trapped Ethan in an energy beam and threw him against the wall.

The other two ran to try and help him.

Zeltrax unleashed an energy blast from his eyes, and all the ranger fell.

Kim wanted to help but knew she couldn't. "Rangers, combine your weapons!"

They did so, forming the Z-Rex Blaster, and they fired it, knocking him to his back.

Kim smiled.

Zeltrax told the Rangers, "You showed me your weapons, now meet mine!" He teleported out and reappeared in his ship, firing at blast at them.

Conner asked Dr. H, "How can we fight that?"

Kim replied, "You got to tame the zords. Concentrate, your morphers will communicate you thoughts to them."

They nodded and walked off a short difference.

"Look at that. They're huge! Whoa!" Conner said.

Ethan stepped toward the Triceratops Bio Zord. He started to speak to it. "Whoa, calm them boy. It's all good... That's right, I'm your friend." It started to calm down. " Tricera Zord!"

Kira grinned. "Now it's my turn!" She turned to the zord. "Ptera Zord! We can be friends, right?" The Pterodactyl Bio Zord became yellow and white.

Ethan watched as Conner's zord turned and started to fight his and Kira's. "Conner, the Tyranno Zord is out of control!"

Kira turned to the Red Ranger. "Do something!"

Conner stepped toward the zord. "Come on, I need you to work with me, here." The zord gave no response. He looked at the morpher and shouted, "Tyranno Zord!" It changed from green to red. "Go! Yes!" The others joined him.

"Only one more thing to do- bring 'em together." She knew they could do it. The rangers looked at her.

Conner looked at his fellow rangers. "Okay, let's do it!"

They entered their zords and called out, "Logging in!"

Kira called out from her spot. "Got it!"

"Me too!" Conner answered.

They called out in unison. "Combine powers!"

The Tyranno Zord spun, lowered its head and its tail became a drill on the left side. The Tricera Zord formed the right arm, and the Ptera Zord formed the front shield of the Megazord, and its helmet. The three rangers entered a single cockpit next to each other, and the Thundersaurus Megazord stood ready to fight.

"Your robot is no match for me!" Zeltrax warned the Rangers. He fired some lasers from his ship, making the Megazord stumble backwards. Then he fired two sets of cables that attached to the Megazord.

A shock was sent through the Megazord and the Ranger groaned. With only one cable attached they used the cable to make the Thundersaurus Megazord fly up above the ship. The remaining cable got cut loose, and the Megazord turned in mid-air.

Conner called out. "Dino Drill, engage!"

The Megazord rotated its drill on a very fast decent through the ship, and went right through it as Zeltrax wondered what was going on. The ship exploded and the remnants of it fell back to the Earth.

"So, Hart has taught them to become Rangers." Mesogog said to his servants in his laboratory.

"Our deepest apologies, sir. We should have foreseen this development." Zeltrax apologized.

"Yes, you should have," Mesogog told them as he unleashed a blast of energy from his head the caused both Zeltrax and Elsa to grab their heads in pain. "Let this be a lesson. I do not take defeat lightly." He let out a hiss.

Beck inside the underground lab, Kim opened the case that held the Dino Morphers. They transformed into bracelets. She presented them to the Rangers. "Keep these with you at all times. They will access your morphers and let you communicate with me and each other."

Kira took hers out of the box. "Dr. H, I know you're real smart, and a science teacher and everything, but this is... well, I mean, how did you?"

Kim smiled. "I'll fill you in, in time."

Ethan asked, "Speaking of time, you think Mesogog's gonna stick around for a while?"

She sighed and sat the case back on the table. Running her fingers through her hair, she replied, "Unfortunately, they always do."

"They?" Conner asked, both worried and curious.

Kim waved him off. "I know this is a lot to take in..." She started to say.

Ethan cut her off. "That's for sure."

She continued, "Your lives have just changed in ways you probably couldn't have imagined. But as long as you work together, and remember, you're a team, no one can defeat you."

Conner, Ethan, and Kira looked at their bracelets and each other. Then back at their teacher.

"No one." She reiterated and watched the students exchange looks.
