Dino Bite Café

Inside the café, customers lined the room as the rangers' were busy taking orders. "Okay, so that's two Bronto Burgers, two fossil fries, and a large coke? That'll be ten dollars." Shelby stated to the customer at the register.

Koda was busy flipping burgers while Tyler was busing tables. Tyler shot Shelby a look as to where the other rangers' were. "So, have you noticed that we're getting slammed, and yet again, Chase and Riley are nowhere to be found?" Tyler mentioned to Shelby.

Shelby rolled her eyes and scoffed in reply. "Don't remind me. I've covered both of their shifts for the past five days. What could they be possibly doing in the lab that's so important? She questioned.

Koda couldn't help but join in on the conversation while trying to keep an eye on the burgers. "Maybe they train?" he commented. Tyler and Shelby nodded. "Well there's only one way to find out." She added. Shelby led Tyler and Koda to the lab not wondering what they would soon to discover.

Dino Lab

Riley walked over to pick up his sword when he felt a hand from behind. "Chase. I told you not to do that, while we're in the lab. I don't want the others to find out our secret yet." Riley stated.

Chase put his arms around Riley's waist. "I was hoping I could train with you." He said in reply.

Riley couldn't help but pull Chase in close to him. "I love it when you do that." Chase said with a chuckle as he went in to kiss his boyfriend.

As they went to pull out of the kiss, they didn't even notice the others had entered the room.

"Doesn't look like they're training to me." Tyler stated with his arms crossed. Koda was puzzled. "So if they not train, then what they be doing?" Shelby couldn't help but chuckle. "I think the Hotshot and the Brainiac were making out." She replied. Shelby and Koda turned to Tyler and shot him a look questioning if they should return to the café.

Tyler hesitated for a minute…. He began to whisper, "I think we should let them have some time alone." Tyler then led Koda and Shelby back to work.

Without noticing the others' had even left the room to begin with, Riley and Chase began to make out even more, behind the main control panel.

Sledge's Ship

On the fourth level corridor of the ship, Poisandra slowly walking with Sledge down the dark corridor, noticing the cells were now filled with half the bounties Sledge was holding captive to begin with. "I can't believe, the rangers' have defeated so many of your bounties." She spattered in anger.

Sledge assured her. "Yes, it is a shame that half of my army is now gone, but rest assured, the rangers' will be defeated and their energems will be mine!" Sledge and Poisandra were soon joined by Wrench and a small legion of Vivix. "I am going to fight fire with fire by turning one of the rangers' evil, by infusing him or her with the power of the Talon Energem!" Sledge stated.

Fury walked in at the last moment of Sledge's speech to Poisandra and Wrench. "Master, did I hear correctly…. That you plan to turn one of the rangers' evil by using the Talon Energem?" He asked.

Sledge chuckled maniacally. "Of course Fury, they wouldn't dare attack one of their own. So I want you to send down a small army of Vivix to capture one for me. This ranger must be cunning and intelligent. Someone who has real firepower." He ordered Fury. Fury then took the army of Vivix and teleported down to Amber Beach City.

Dino Lab

Riley and Chase walked into the base after finishing their shifts at the café. "Wow, I am so beat." Riley stated. Chase chuckled and replied… "If I ever find that person who decided to order the Bronto Burger Deluxe special, I am going to make the clean it up next time. The dining room was a disaster after they left."

"So it seems that we have the base… all to ourselves. What shall we do with this unbound freedom?" Chase said putting his arms around his Raptor's waist. Riley thought for a moment. "Well… my Hotshot…. We could go out and enjoy a night on the town, perhaps see a movie?" Chase seemed to be intrigued. Chase then leaned in to kiss Riley. Riley pulled Chase in putting his hand on the back of his head sealing the kiss.

Riley began to wonder… "So what movie would you want to see?" Chase pulled away for a moment, "Anything is fine as long as I am with you." He replied. Chase then proceeded to kiss Riley again when they were interrupted by the Dino Com.

Riley reached in his back pocket and retrieved the device. "You got Riley, what's up?" he asked. Kendall was on the other line. "I don't know which is worse, the fact that there's an army of Vivix attacking the city or that you and Chase are alone in the base…." She replied.

Chase couldn't help but chuckle. "We'll get right on it Kendall." He informed. Kendall smirked. "As long as you guys weren't… Never mind. Just meet the others at the site." She ordered. Riley and Chase retrieved their gems and ran to the Civic center.

Downtown Civic Center

In the heart of Amber Beach City, debris continued to crumble to the ground as Vivix destroyed everything in their path. Tyler, Shelby and Koda had already been fighting for a while, waiting on the other two to arrive. Riley and Chase soon joined the fight. "Save some action for us!" Chase shouted as he went in to save his teammate from being ganged up by the Vivix.

The rangers' fought off the Vivix until Fury blasted the rangers to the ground. "Well, just who I was looking for." Fury shouted.

The rangers' groaned in pain, trying to recover from the blast. "What do you want this time Fury?" Tyler questioned. Fury snarled. "I am only here for one of you, but if I take two of you, then Sledge will reward me even greater."

The rangers finally found their motion and got on their feet. As they tried to reach for their morphers, Fury sent another blast at the rangers. In the middle of the smoke and confusion a small army of Vivix held Tyler, Shelby and Koda back while another army of Vivix grabbed Riley and Chase. As the smoke cleared, the rangers noticed Fury and his legion of Vivix had disappeared…. Along with Chase and Riley. "So what now?" Shelby questioned.

Sledge's Ship

Fury and the Vivix returned to the ship and locked the two rangers' in the holding cell in the main control room. "Now that I've captured you, I am going to infuse you both with the power of this… Energem." He remarked evilly.

Chase and Riley looked at each other in disbelief. "That's impossible. There can't be another Energem… There are only ten of them." Riley commented. That was until Sledge entered the room and answered the Green Ranger's comment.

Sledge looked at the two rangers' and chuckled maniacally. "On the contrary Green Ranger, you see, I had Poisandra use the last energy of the so called E-Tracer you rangers designed and use it to track the location of the lost Talon Energem. We took the Energem and laced it with poisons that can only be found at the Onyx tavern. It is pure evil, and once infused, it's irreversible." He explained.

Chase and Riley knew there was no escape. Vivix unlocked the cell and grabbed Riley first. They placed him on a chair and put wires on his body. Fury then placed Energem into the slot and fired up the machine. Once powered, the machine sent pulses of electricity through Riley's body. Riley screamed in agony as he felt the pain inside drive him to insanity. All his boyfriend could do was watch and witness the love of his life being brainwashed.

An hour later, the machine powered down, Fury unplugged the wires off of Riley and took him away. Sledge himself then walked into the holding cell, and grabbed Chase. "Now it's your turn, pretty boy!" He snarled.

All Chase could feel now was the pain Riley was feeling as he too was being brainwashed. Sledge's plan had become a reality. Two rangers' were now completely under his control, and nothing could stop him from destroying the remaining rangers.
