Just note, I don't remember what the girl Conner went to prom with in the final episode of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. I remember what she did, but I can't remember what her name was. So, forgive me. If you know what it is, leave me a review letting me know. That would be really helpful. Thanks.

Episode 1: Reactivated
Conner McKnight ran through the woods alone, as fear was painted on his face. He wasn't expecting any of this. His power ranger days were done! So why were there Triptoids chasing him?!
"I thought we defeated Mesogog!" He said to himself, before he tripped on something and fell to the ground. He spun around to see the Triptoids getting closer to him, before someone jumped in front of him. Her pink hair blew up as she did so, before she got out a Thundermax Saber out of the sheath on her hip, and sliced them all, which caused them to disappear.
Conner looked up at her, before she turned around, showing gorgeous blue eyes staring back him. Her skin was pretty pale, but it was still tan, and her outfit was what made him wonder who she really was.
Her outfit was a form-fitting sailor fuku with a hot pink sailor collar and mini-skirt with a light pink underskirt underneath. The bows on her outfit were a light pink as well as the bands on her white elbow length gloves. Her boots were a light pink with a white band at the top of them. The thing on her forehead and in her ears were the last thing Conner saw. She had a light silver tiara on her forehead with a light pink gem in the center, and hot pink dangle ear rings that showed the Dino Ranger symbol.
"Who are you?" Conner asked as he took her outstretched hand she offered.
"You'll find out soon enough, Red Dino Ranger." She said, with a voice that could have put him to sleep.
"How did you know I was the Red Dino Ranger?" He asked curiously.
"I know many things about you. I know your name is Conner McKnight, I know you were the Red Dino Ranger, and I know you'll be unlocking your powers again real soon." The girl said with a smile.
"Are you a friend or foe?" Conner asked, which caught the girl off guard.
"Right here, I'm a friend...but when you first see me, I'll be a foe. But, hey...you've delt with an evil Ranger before. I'm sure you can handle an evil scout." She stated with a wink of her eye, before she kissed his cheek and then ran off with speed he had only seen a hedgehog have from one of Ethan's video games.
At that moment, Conner's alarm went off, making him wake up, and look over to see that it was saying 7:00am. He smiled as he sat up in bed, and looked out the window to see the sun slowly coming up. "Graduation day...how I can't believe it's finally here." He said before throwing his legs over the edge of his bed, before thinking about that dream he just had.
"Who was that, and why was I dreaming of a girl that looked like someone from one Ethan's favorite anime shows?" He asked himself before shaking it off and started getting ready for his graduation ceremony.
XXXXXXXXXX
Unknown to the old Dino Rangers, something was stiring up inside of Mesogog's old lab and castle. A young looking teen girl ran through the halls, with her long black wavy hair flowing behind her, and her cat ears picking up things from rooms on the other end of the hallway.
"Oh...the lab must be popular right now." She said as she ran up to the lab doors, only to see her mother's assistant, Ocean, standing and staring at the monitor with her shoulder length dark blue hair in a low ponytail.
"What'cha doing, Ocean?" The girl asked as she walked in, catching the girl known as Ocean off guard. She looked over to see the cat girl and rolled her eyes.
"Don't you have some mice to chase, Catlyn? I'm very busy." She said as she went back to work on the computer.
The girl, known as Catlyn, just stared at the monitor, seeing 4 teens in graduation gowns, and a teacher wearing a black suit and tie.
"Who are they?" She asked, amazed at the screen.
"Don't know. Your mom just had me track them for who knows what reason." Ocean answered, as she did some tricks on the keyboard in front of her, making the monitor start beeping, and a little black dot showing her where to find them. "There they are."
XXXXXXXXXX
Kira Ford and Trent Fernandez walked up to the theatre where they were holding the graduation ceremony, holding hands as they did so. Where as Ethan James was standing by the front door already, with Conner there next to him.
"Hey! There they are!" Ethan called as he waved towards them. Conner looked over and smiled when he saw his two fellow ex-team-mates from their Power Ranger days.
"Hey guys! Can you believe this day is finally here?!" Kira stated when she and Trent made it up to them.
"It's crazy. I'm kind of going to be miss the school." Ethan said.
"Of course you would." Conner said, elbowing the old Blue Dino Ranger and making them all laugh, including Ethan.
"Well, aren't you going to be missing that tree girl girlfriend of yours, Conner?" Ethan asked, only to be put to silence when he saw the look on Conner's face. "Whoa..."
"Oh, Conner..." Kira began as she gave him a hug in sorrow. "I'm so sorry."
Conner hugged her back for a while before pulling away. "Thanks for the sympathy, but I'd rather not think about that break up." He stated.
"I'm sure there'll be a new one someday." Trent stated, before grabbing his leg. "Ow." He mumbled.
"What's wrong?" Kira asked, as Trent pulled out his white colored Dino Gem and held it in his hand.
"You still have that thing?" Conner asked.
"Yeah. It reminds me that I can overcome anything whenever there's some trouble in my life." He answered before he noticed the dim glow coming from the center. "But I'm not sure if it's supposed to be glowing. It's powers were destroyed once Mesogog was destroyed.
Kira then grabbed around her neck and pulled out her yellow gem from around her neck. "Ow, that hurts."
Ethan than took his blue colored gem out of his pants pocket, and saw the same thing Trent saw. Kira was seeing it in hers as well. Conner pulled his out after a while, and looked at the dim light in the center. He sighed as he remembered the days of his ranger powers. How they taught him that looks weren't everything for a girl, and that team-work was vitle for life. But something was telling him that his dream last night, wasn't going to be just a dream anymore.
After a while, he put his gem away, and looked up to see a girl, with medium length brown hair (with some light pink on the ends) and gorgeous hazel blue eyes. Her skin was fairly pale, but it had a tanish tint to it.
"Whoa." He stated, making them all look over as they put their gems away, only to have Trent's eyes widen.
"Oh, no way." He stated, making Kira look up at him.
"You know here, Trent?" She asked.
The girl looked over at him and smiled. "Is that Trent Fernandez I see over there?!" She called as she began to walk towards them.
"The one and only." Trent stated, before giving the girl a simple hug and then pulled away.
"How long as it been? A year? Maybe 2?" The girl began, making the old White Dino Ranger chuckle a small bit.
"It's been too long, let's put it that way." Trent stated, before realizing his friends were standing right there. "Oh, right. Guys, this is an old friend from my childhood, Stella Belle." Trent began.
"Nice to meet you." Kira said with a smile.
"You too."
"And Stella, this is Ethan James, Kira Ford, and Conner McKnight." Trent added, as she greeted Kira and Ethan, but once she looked up at Conner, her heart practically stopped and restarted again.
"Hi." Conner said, nervously, making the young brown head smirk.
"Hi to you too." She said, making Conner blush slightly.
"What are you doing back in Reefside? I thought you lived in Angel Grove!" Trent asked making Stella look over at him.
"Oh, do you really think I'd miss your graduation?" Stella stated.
"You're graduating too?"
"I graduated last week! And when I found out that you were graduating from Reefside the following week, I had to come!"
"Thanks. Oh, one vitle information that I'm sure she will kill me for later..." Trent began, making the old Yellow Dino Ranger giggle slightly. "Kira is my girlfriend." He finished as he put an around around the girl beside him.
"Oh, OH! I was wondering when that would happen!" Stella yelled as she hugged Kira, with the young singer hugging her back. "The girlfriend part." She added as she pulled away, making the group laugh a little bit.
"Thanks." Trent said, still with the chuckles.
"Well, I should get to my seat. Congratulations to you all for graduating, and I'll see you guys when the ceremony is over." Stella stated before giving Trent a quick hug and then left for her seat.
"She seemed, nice." Conner said, making Trent look at him, and then smile.
"Yeah...and she's single still." He added, which made the old Red Dino Ranger blush some more, causing the other 3 the laugh the butts off.
XXXXXXXXXX
Stella went around to go into the theatre, when she felt a hand on her shoulder, making her spin around, only to see Ocean staring at her with darkness in her eyes.
"Ocean?" She asked surprised.
"It's me." Ocean said, grinning evilly. "But I'm not the sister you once knew, Stella." And with that being said, two Triptoids came out and went to grab her, when she showed them what for by kicking their butts with her karate.
"Nice try, Ocean! But you don't scare me!" Stella yelled before running back the way she came to get help.
"Yes...show me to the targets." Ocean said with an evil giggle afterwards.
Trent and the others were about to go inside the theatre, when they heard Stella calling to them. They looked over right as Stella ran up.
"Stella, what's wrong?" Trent asked, as Conner looked up and pointed towards someone, making them all look over to see Ocean, with a bunch of Triptoids standing behind her, as she held her sword in her hand.
"Who the heck is that?!" Kira asked.
"That's Ocean...my sister turned evil." Stella stated, making Trent look at her.
"Wait...that's Ocean now a days?!" He asked shocked.
"Yes, Trenton, it's me. I remember when you were just a boy...now, you're still a boy." Ocean stated before she had the Triptoids attack. Stella glared at them evilly as the others started to fight them off.
Kira went for one group of Triptoids and showed them what for with her fighting skills, shocking Stella to the bone.
"Whoa...Trent got a fiesty one as his girlfriend." She stated, before noticing Trent fighting off some them very well too. "And my gosh, he's good too! Since when?!"
Conner was fighting off another Triptoid when he noticed Ocean behind Stella, getting ready to strike her with her sword. He finished off the Triptoid and ran...with his super speed and knocked the evil girl on her back.
"Whoa! How did you do that?!" Stella asked in shock.
"I don't know." Conner answered in shock, before adding to himself. "I haven't been able to do that in months."
Trent was pushed against the wall near him, as a Triptoid went to strike a blow on him when he went invisible, causing the weapon of the Triptoid to go right through. Trent, still invisible, kicked the Triptoid away, before going back to being visible. "How the heck...?!"
Kira faught closely by him, before getting pushed to the ground. She looked up at the Triptoids about to pounce on her, when she screamed, and her Ptera Scream came out, causing the Triptoids to get flown back. When Kira stopped screaming, she looked at them shocked. "What?"
Ethan was having a tough time as well, as he faught off another group of Triptoids, only to have them kicking his butt. But, when one Triptoid tried to slice his arm, Ethan's Tricera arm glowed and made the Triptoid repel from him. Ethan did the same with the other Triptoid that tried to destroy him with his other arm. "Holy cow. How!?"
Ocean growled in anger as she disappeared in a wave of water, and the Triptoids left in Invisi-portals.
"Someone is a sour loser." Ethan stated as they regrouped.
"How the heck did you all do those things?!" Stella asked, surprised to see all of this.
"Uh..." Trent began, when he saw the students getting ready for graduation. "You should go to your seat Stella. We'll talk later." He decided to say, making the young brown head look at him suspiciously before running up to her seat.
"You guys okay?" Dr. Tommy Oliver, their soon-to-be old Science teacher, asked as he ran over to them. He had seen the whole fight and wanted to see how they were doing.
"We're fine, Dr. O." Conner said. "But our powers are back. How?"
Dr. Oliver sighed as he pushed his hand through his short black hair. "I'm not sure. But if the Triptoids are back, and with a girl who has powers like that attached to them, should only mean one thing..." He began.
"...we're needed for one more battle." Ethan finished for the young looking Science teacher.
"Yeah." Dr. Oliver stared at his own black colored gem in his hand, as it was glowing slightly as well. "You guys go in for the ceremony. We'll talk after that and the parties I'm sure you guys are going to be having."
The group nodded slightly before walking into the theatre for the ceremony, leaving the old Black Dino Ranger to stand there in the sun, thinking of what was going to happen next.
XXXXXXXXXX
Ocean sat there at the computer, typing up formulas and math equations, trying to figure out why the tagets had those powers. It wasn't natural, and her boss, the one who wanted them dead, said something about their "abilities" not being active anymore now, so she shouldn't of had any trouble destroying them. But somehow, they were. And Ocean needed to find out.
"Oh, mama's going to be mad!" Catlyn yelled as she jumped around the place like a kitten playing with its toys.
"Shut up, kitty. I'm busy." Ocean stated as she typed one last formula and an equation, and it popped up. She stared at it in wonder and disbelief. "No way...they're the Power Rangers?"
"I thought I said to not try to figure it out." A commanding voice spoke, making Ocean spin around as she stood up in her chair, to see a dark red haired lady standing in front of her.
"My lady, Helga." Ocean stated, as the lady known as Helga walked up to the computer.
"Let me guess...their powers are active again?" She asked as she looked at Ocean, who just bowed slightly.
"Yes, m'lady. They are...and my younger sister was with them." She answered.
Helga looked back at the screen, and grinned evilly. She was ready for this to happen now. "Well, let them be active. Because they may have won the battle with Mesogog...but the war with me has just begun." She stated, before walking out of the lab all together.
XXXXXXXXXX
The ceremony, in Conner's opinion, was long and boring, but he survived it. He was now going up to get his high school diploma with his friends not that far behind or ahead of him. He still couldn't believe that he was graduating high school. He thought he'd be held back for all the work he forgot to do in most of his classes, but surprisingly, he wasn't.
As he walked up on stage to get his diploma, he looked out to see Stella sitting there with a smile on her face, and her digital camera out. He smiled too as he went up to the teacher, as he handed him his diploma with his name being called. After he got it, went back to his seat after walking across the stage. He sat down, with his diploma in his hand, and just thought. He knew something about to happen, and that the Dino Rangers were needed once more. He looked over to see Trent was sitting in a seat a head of him, and he could tell that he was debating on what was about to happen after all of this had settled down.
Conner wasn't surprised about that, because he childhood friend saw him use his powers from his days as a Power Ranger. She saw all of them. So now, it was time to figure out what to tell her, wheather it was the truth or a lie, they had to tell her something. Something was better than nothing...right?
XXXXXXXXXX
Later on that night, in the woods heading towards the Dino Lab, Stella was alone. She knew Trent wanted to hang out with his girlfriend and family at that moment, so she dropped the situation from earlier for the time being so he could enjoy the rest of the night, and went for a walk in the woods. She needed some fresh air anyway.
But it still bugged her. How did they have those powers? Trent didn't have them when they were kids, so how does he now? She kept coming up scenarios of how he got these powers as she found herself falling down a sink hole and into a dark cave. She wiped off her dress and walked around for a short while.
"Dang it. Just what I needed, to get my dress dirty." She stated as she walked up to an open wall, that showed a lab filled to the nines with technology and like 9 computer monitors, all showing different areas of Reefside: the park, the theatre where the graduation took place, this Cyberspace place, everywhere.
"Whoa...now this makes up for the nasty fall I took." Stella stated, before she noticed a light pink chocker band necklace with a hot pink pearl in the center. The pearl, somehow, was glowing slightly as she walked closer to it. "How pretty!" She stated, before it shot up and went around her neck. "What the...!?" She began before power surged through her while body, making her scream in pain, as she staggered away from the area, and out of the cave.
Once she was out, the pearl glowed even brighter, which surrounded her in light, and before she knew it, everything in her life changed.
XXXXXXXXXX
Trent, Conner, Ethan, Kira, and Dr. Oliver walked into the Dino Lab together, before handing Dr. Oliver their gems. He took them and began to place them back in the silver bands they had a long time ago.
"So, the rangers are needed once more, huh?" Conner stated as he was handed the silver band with the red gem inside.
"Looks like it, Conner." Dr. Oliver replied as he handed the others their respective bands, before putting his on.
"Well, looks like we're not done yet then." Ethan said with a smile. "Can't wait to begin." And as if on cue, the monitor beeped, making them all look to see someone sitting on the roof of a building, while flipping a dagger in the air. She was humming a song that didn't sound too nice, and her pink and hot pink hair was blowing the wind as was her hot pink mini-skirt and black underskirt underneath.
"Soon this pathetic world will have no reason to want to live...once those pathetic rangers are gone." She stated as she put the dagger away by making it disappear, and then jumped off of the building, before running at super speed away from the area.
"Who was that?!" Kira exclaimed, as Dr. Oliver looked over to see if something he had been working on was still there. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't.
"No...someone must have come in here without me knowing and got the project I was working on!" He stated, making the former Reefside High students look his way.
"What project?" Trent asked, curious about it.
"When Mesogog was destroyed, and I told you guys you could keep the gems as momentos, I found a small white pearl laying on the ground where Mesogog was defeated once you guys left the field to get ready for Prom." Dr. Oliver began. "When I brought it back here, it turned hot pink, which made me curious. So, I put it on a chocker band, which the pearl made it go from white to a light pink color, and I had sitting here so I could work on it some more."
"Why?" Ethan asked.
"Because, there was an evil inside it, like with Trent's gem."
"Oh, no..." Trent stated worried.
"Which means, whoever has this powerful pearl..." Kira began, as she looked at her team, before Conner finished for her.
"...is evil." Conner looked back at the monitors, seeing the girl running around town, with her hot pink sailor collar flowing behind her with her hair along with it. He sighed as he watched the girl stop running after what seemed like for a long time, before she looked up at the moon in the sky. Her red eyes sparkled as she did so, but her evil smirk made the sparkle not so pretty.
"Guess life just got difficult, once more." Conner stated, as his fellow rangers nodded in agreement.
