It really seemed like it was going to be a normal day for the dino thunder rangers one nice spring day. The sun was out, it wasn't too hot or too cold, and the dino crew was thinking about going to the park and relaxing after the school day was over. But as every other ranger would say there will never be a normal day so long as you're a ranger. Conner, Kira, Ethan, and Trent were all at school talking about what they would do at the park when suddenly their morphers went off. Looking around Conner held his bracelet to a position where Hayley would be able to hear him.
"What's going on Hayley?" Conner asked still looking around.
"It seems that Messagog didn't want to let you guys have a day off," Hayley replied over the communicators, "You, Kira, Ethan, and Trent need to get down to that park ASAP."
"Wait what about Dr. O why can't he help" Kira asked confused.
"Tommy is…preoccupied at the moment," Hayley said making the rangers look at each other, "it's nothing that you four won't find out later trust me."
"Alright then," Conner said as they stood up, "you guys ready?"
"Ready."
"DINO THUNDER POWER UP," Conner, Kira and Ethan yelled out activating their morphers.
"WHITE RANGER, DINO POWER," Trent yelled doing the same.
As if it was part of the morphing process, the second they morphed they were at the park and saw their newest opponent. He was a bulky turtle like creature with a spiky shell on his back that looked like it would hurt. The monster was currently busying itself with destroying the playground equipment to notice that the rangers had arrived.
"Okay is it just me or is that thing just plain ugly?" Ethan asked looking at the others.
"No man it's not just you," Conner said rubbing the back of his head, "it doesn't seem to notice that we're here yet either."
"Maybe we should form the Z-Rex Blaster and just finish him quickly," Kira said watching the monster, "I mean it seems to want to destroy the playground more than anything else."
The rangers nodded and pulled out their weapons before bringing them together to form one of their most powerful weapons. Taking aim the fired at the monster and hit it directly in the back, but when the smoke cleared the creature was still there unharmed but looking at them.
"Ah, rangers I was wondering when you would get here, allow me to introduce myself," He said pointing at them, "I'm Xeon and Messagog sent me here to give you a nasty surprise."
"What the hell no monster has ever been able to survive a blast from the Z-Rex Blaster," Conner said in shock.
"Well I'm not just any monster kid, like I said I'm Xeon and I won't stop until I finish my job," Xeon said before withdrawing into his shell, "TURTLE SPINNER!"
The rangers had no idea what happened next, one second they were seeing their opponent spinning the next they were being sent flying. Trent went flying and hit a tree near the pond, Ethan hit and broke a park bench, and Conner and Kira both fell on to a car next to each other. Standing up Conner and Kira readied their weapon and charged forward to attack the turtle monster before he could do anymore damage. However when they attacked he simply went back into his shell to avoid it before spinning again. Stumbling backwards Conner and Kira nodded at each other before pulling out their Thundermax blasters and firing at Xeon.
"Ha is that all you got rangers?" Xeon taunted from inside his shell, "my mother can hit harder then you."
Conner growled and pulled out his Thundermax saber, charging forward and attacking the giant turtle hoping to do some damage. However no such luck came he was instead sent flying into a tree. Kira quickly ran over to him and helped him stand up as Trent and Ethan tried attacking their opponent using their other weapons.
"Conner that was foolish to do," Kira said looking at him, "you knew that we wouldn't be able to hurt him like that so why did you try it."
"I don't need to be lectured right now Kira alright?" Conner said with a slight growl, "I just lost my temper it won't happen again."
Kira sighed and watched as Conner ran forward and started helping Ethan and Trent in the onslaught of attacks. Nothing seemed to be working however and the rangers were starting to grow weary from the battle. Conner was starting to lose his temper again and it wasn't helping that Xeon was taunting them to no end.
"I don't even think that your black ranger could help you now," Xeon said as the rangers tried using their swords, "is he scared or what cause I figured he'd be there to help."
"Think again ugly," Tommy said as he kicked the Xeon in the back and sent him stumbling forward, "I here now so what you gonna do?"
"What Messagog wanted me to do all along," Xeon said pulling out a jar.
Opening the jar everything around them started to grown dark and the power rangers started to glow. Suddenly they were powered down and Xeon closed the jar laughing at them.
"Messagog found this item a while back and wanted to use it," Xeon said showing them the jar, "this is that jar that they used to striped the Ninja rangers of their powers."
"What I thought that was destroyed?" Conner said looking at him.
Xeon laughed before he disappeared and leaving the rangers to mourn the loss of their powers. The five of them made their way Tommy's house and they all sat down in his living room trying to think about what to do next.
"So what do we do when we don't have our powers?" Conner asked looking at the ground.
"I don't know Conner, without the power of the dino gems we're pretty much screwed," Tommy muttered sitting in his recliner.
"Well there's got to be something that we can do," Ethan said looking at Dr. O.
"Yeah I mean when you guy lost your power coins you went and got the Zeo crystal," Trent said from his position on the couch.
"Yeah we did and….wait Trent I think you got something," Tommy said standing up and walking over to the hidden door to the Dino Thunder HQ, "the original power coins were destroyed but the Dragonzord coin wasn't."
"Wait what?" Conner asked standing up, "I thought the Dragonzord coin ran out of power."
"One of them did," Tommy said as he walked down the stairs, "When I was the white tiger ranger, Rita sent a monster known as the Wizard who cloned me."
Reaching the lab Tommy turned towards his favorite students and crossed his arms as he recalled the entire day. From being cloned, to going back in time to save his friends, then back to the present to fight his clone, and then again back to the past with his clone to defeat some over grown rats. Shaking his head he looked back at the other four before continuing…
"Anyway when the Wizard cloned me he also gave my clone, a guy named Tom who is now living in the late seventeen hundreds, a copy of the dragonzord coin," Tommy finished as his students nodded, "If we can find a way to go back to the seventeen hundreds then we might be able to get the coin and get it back here to beat our new friend."
"Well that's all great but who's going to be the one using the coin?" Trent asked making the others look at Tommy.
"Oh no I promised myself I wouldn't wear that outfit again," Tommy said shaking his head, "too many bad memories with it."
"If you remember correctly then there are some good memories with it too," a female said from Dr. O's normal chair.
Turning around a woman, that looked to be Dr. O's age, with brown hair ending just under her shoulder blades and brown eyes. She was wearing a pink blouse and a pair of tight blue jeans with some white tennis shoes but gave off a look that said she would kick your ass if you crossed her. Tommy sighed and shook his head as she stood up and walked over to the high schoolers looking them over carefully. When she got to Conner she seemed to stiffen as she looked him over multiple times before turning around and sitting back down. To Conner there seemed to be something familiar about her but he couldn't quite place his finger on it.
"Well Tomas I have to say, they're nothing like the original team," She said looking at him, "Although I'm glad that their using dino zords."
"Um…Dr. O who's that?" Trent asked looking at their mentor.
"She's the original pink man," Ethan said as Kira looked on at her with a bit of honor.
"Kimberly Hart," Conner said mouth agape.
Kim smiled and turned the chair to face her old friend who looked like he was just hit by a stupidity beam. Shaking her head she stood up and snapped her fingers in front of his face bringing him back to reality.
"Huh? Oh right like Conner said this is Kimberly the first pink ranger and the pilot of the pterodactyl zord," Tommy said as she waved at them.
"And I hear that I'm not the only pterodactyl now," She said smiling at Kira who looked at the ground.
"Well not technically I pilot the pterazord," Kira said looking back at her.
"It's close enough sweetie."
Tommy watched as Kim's eyes trailed over to Conner and lingered on him for awhile. Something didn't seem right to him when she looked at the newest red ranger, it was like she was seeing a ghost. Deciding that he would confront her about it later he figured that it was high time they got back on topic.
"Alright anyway like I said I won't be wearing the green ranger outfit again so we either need to find someone to wear it or it needs to be one of you," Tommy said bringing them back to the task at hand.
"I say Trent does it I mean he's the most like you," Kira said not seeing Conner tense up.
"You'd be surprised Kira," Kim said smirking a little bit, "Tommy might I suggest someone?"
"Um…yeah sure," he said slightly confused.
"I suggest Conner gets the dragonzord coin,"
Kira tilted her head to the side trying to find any logical reason to why Kim, her predecessor, wanted Conner to be the next green ranger. Kim saw this and just smiled her normal smile before continuing what she was saying.
"Don't you think Conner should carry the dragonzord coin Tommy?" Kim asked looking at the original green.
Tommy looked at Conner and looked like he was thinking everything possible into consideration. Looking back at Kim he saw that she was practically begging him to let Conner be the next dragonzord pilot. Turing his attention back to the other four he looked at Trent and saw that, even if he was a good choice, he wasn't the best choice.
"Conner will be the one to go back and retrieve the dragonzord coin," Tommy replied surprising Kira.
Soon after everyone left Tommy grabbed Kimberly's wrist and turned her around to face him. Kim could tell that he had a ton of questions running through his head all at once but she could also see that he didn't know where to start. Finally Tommy picked a question and Kim took a deep breath hoping it wasn't one of the two that she didn't want it to be.
"Kim why did you want Conner to be the green ranger?"
"Well you see…Tommy there is a reason why I came here to see you and the newest rangers," Kim muttered looking at the ground, "you see there's something about Conner that only me and his parents know."
"What do you mean Kim?" Tommy asked grabbing her arms.
"Tommy…I'm Conner's biological mother…and you're his biological father," Kim said making Tommy faint from pure shock, "Tommy…Tommy…um…crap."
Author Note: So this is my first power rangers story and it going to end up being a romance between Conner and Kira and Tommy and Kimberly. Some other rangers will be from past series making appearances in the next chapter mostly Wes, Jenn, Carter, Dana, Jason, and Kat.
