Hey guys, this is TyForestGames! This is my first fanfic (first written on Wattpad), so please don't hate if something rubs you the wrong way. Also it's a Power Rangers one based off my favorite season: Dino Thunder. I'm going to be starting out with the events leading up to the story. So enjoy!

Prologue Part 1: Day of the Dino
Stryder's POV
Before the events of Day of the Dino Part 1
My name is Stryder and my life kind of sucks. My parents are, or should I say were, experts in paleontology and ancient fossils. Basically, they research dinosaurs. Due to this, I developed a fascination for dinosaurs that is still stuck to me despite growing up into a teenager. My parents worked with two guys named Dr. Anton Mercer and Dr. Tommy Oliver. Anton always seemed to have the same expression on his face and I found him a bit boring. Tommy, however, was really kind and smart. One day, all of them had to go on a research trip to some random island I didn't necessarily cared about for a few days. So I stayed at home while they went to the island.
Then everything went to hell.

During the events of Day of the Dino Part 1
The island somehow exploded. I was in the middle of watching TV when the show was interrupted by one of those "Breaking News" things announcing the island blew up. As soon as I saw that, I rushed to the phone and called my parents. No answer. I called again with the same result. The next day, I received the call I expected.
"I'm deeply sorry to report that your parents have unfortunately perished in the mysterious island explosion."
I don't think I could've hit a more depressing moment in my life. It took one phone call and suddenly I was a teenage orphan. The only consolation was my two friends, Kira and Ethan, who visited me from time to time... Separately of course. Even on summer break, the two wouldn't be caught dead near each other. Shortly after the funeral, Tommy actually took me in and adopted me. Soon, he was hired by Reefside High School and became a science teacher. And let me tell you, the first day was eventful.
Kira, Ethan, and a jock named Conner McNight all got detention. And Dr. O was charged to keep responsibility for them. I believe the conversation between him and Principal Randall went like:
"Actually, I have plans to go to a museum outside of town," Dr. O began to say before Randall interrupted him.
"Perfect!" she said, "Take the little monsters with you! That should be sufficient torture for them."
After all of that, Kira pulled me aside and asked, "Why the heck didn't you stand up to Randall when she punished me?"
"Sorry," I apologized, "I would have, but she's pretty darn scary."
Kira glared daggers at me, which caused me to back up and stutter, "Okay, you're both pretty scary. Sorry, but I'll admit, I didn't want to risk detention on the first day of school."
Kira sighed, "Alright, fine. You have a point. See you later, I guess."
"See ya."
Oh, I should probably mention this now, I've always had a bit of a crush on Kira. But it was one of those 'don't want to ruin the friendship' kind of things, so I never had the guts to tell her.
The next day, the two of us barely talked to one another, which was weird, because we also never met up after school to talk. Instead, I saw her talking with Conner and Ethan. That shocked me. A musician, a geek, and a jock were all having a conversation without killing one of the others.
I shook my head and thought, 'Whatever. I don't decide who they befriend.'
So I just started walking home.

During the events of Day of the Dino Part 2
Well, this was a rather hectic day. When I got to school today, I overheard Cassidy Cornell, the school reporter (not a very good one, but a reporter nonetheless), ask Kira about the day before when Kira was kidnapped. That got my attention. Kidnapped?! Luckily, my worry didn't last long, since Kira didn't seem to know what the heck Cassidy was talking about.
When she came and sat next to me, I whispered, "What was that about?"
"Nothing," she replied, "Just Cassidy being Cassidy."
Yeah, that seemed about right. Suddenly, the room started shaking like an earthquake had hit. Everyone looked outside to see that the sky had turned an unusual shade of black and lightning was striking. Then Devin, Cassidy's assistant/slave, ran into the classroom and started saying some weird stuff. The one part that caught my attention was 'mechanical dinosaurs attacking downtown'. What?! Devin has said some pretty dumb things before, but this just took the cake.
"Grab your camera!" Cassidy ordered him.
"Hold it, you two!" Dr. O called out, but was interrupted by Principal Randall on the intercom, an order to evacuate, giving Cassidy and Devin the chance the slip out the door.
As everyone walked out of the room, I walked up to Tommy and asked, "What do I do?"
"Just go back home," he said, "Don't worry, I just gotta make sure everyone gets out safely."
And without a second thought, I high tailed it home.
After the events of the past few days, I thought nothing could surprise me. I was dead wrong. Apparently, when those mecha-dinos were attacking, a new Power Rangers team appeared and subdued them, taking over them and using them to taking down this giant flying ship. Now we have the Power Rangers Dino Thunder protecting us from evil monsters... Geez, what a week.
