I WAS A TEENAGE POWER PUNK

AUTHOR'S NOTE/DISCLAIMER

Similar to an actual ep of the series, but I'll try to make it as different as possible. I own characters not originally affiliated with the show, and some of the plot.

INTRODUCTION

Today on Ranger Team: Conner is zapped by a ray that changes his personality from good-natured to ill-behaved. In the meantime, Mesogog sends down the Grunginator to wreak havoc in Reefside. Can the others get him changed back in time to destroy this horrible menace? Find out next on: Ranger Team!

CHAPTER ONE: MESOGOG'S IDEA

In their underground lair, Elsa was feverishly working on something.

"Well, what are you working on?" Goldar asked with interest.

"A personality-changer. After these finishing touches, it will make anyone who's zapped, deliciously bad," Elsa said.

"Ah. Interesting idea," Gragon complimented. Back up top, Conner McKnight sat by Krista Morgan in Reefside Park.

"It's such a beautiful day," Krista murmured.

"Yeah, it is," Conner agreed. Not a monster in sight. I love it, he thought to himself. It was just…perfect. Krista stared at where they had planted the new tree and sighed. Sometimes she really missed the old tree. As if sensing the change in her demeanor, Conner gave her shoulders a squeeze.

"I'm real sorry we couldn't save it," he murmured.

"It wasn't your fault. It was that freak Mesogog's," she answered bitterly.

"Yeah. I know," he said. In his lair, Mesogog hissed.

"I'm a freak, am I?" he questioned. "I'll show them a freak," he hissed. With that, he grabbed Elsa and a Crangon and dragged them towards the Geno-Randomizer.

"Master?" Elsa nervously asked.

"Silence," Mesogog growled. "You two are going to make an interesting monster, I'm sure," he told her, pushing her inside.

"No, no! Master, no!" Elsa shrieked, trying to escape. However, it was too late. She had been locked in. The dinosaur turned back to the console and activated the machine. "By the way, I love your new invention," he commented.
