Chapter 1

The last couple of days have strained the Dino Thunder team. After the secret of Mesagog's true identity was revealed, Trent has been stuck between a rock and a hard place. He was trying not only to earn his honor as a ranger back, but to regain the trust of his fellow rangers. The attacks lately have been closer together and the team is extremely tired. As the team walked into the secret entrance they remove their helmets and went to find somewhere to sit. Hayley was at the computer trying to repair the zords from their last battle. Trent and Kira took a seat on the bottom steps of the layer that lead up into their teachers home. Ethan and Conner sat next to each other on the floor, While Dr. Oliver took a seat next Hayley by the computers. When the Rangers finally settled down they wiped the beading sweat off their foreheads trying to cool off. The weather didn't make matters better either, outside it was sunny and humid in California with a temperature 90 … but the humidity made it feel like it was 105.

"It's impossible we just don't seem to catch a break, the increase in attacks … now the weather… When will this end?" Conner asked

"As shocking as this is, Conner is right Dr.O. What's next wake up calls in the middle of the night from Mesagog?" Kira asked

"I agree with them… we're also greatly outnumbered. The odds are defitinatly stacked against us." Ethan said

Trent sat there nervous whether he should share what he knew or not. He sucked in a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. He finally let them knew what he was thinking.

"The only brightside is , Mesagog is getting weaker … The last time I secretly visited my father on the island… Mesagog was having a difficult time preventing himself from chaning into my father. I believe he going to try to separate himself from my father." Trent said

All heads perked up at Trent's notion, even Hayley turned around to listen.

"Are you sure about this Trent" Tommy asked his student.

"Yes I am Dr. O." Trent

"Still Trent I think it worse than better. Once he separates himself only God's knows what he'll do next …" Conner said, "Will be just a bunch of sitting ducks in colorful spandex"

The kids continued to talk and argue while Tommy seemed to space out a bit. He was trying to decide whether it was a good idea or not to bring up the subject of his latest studies. Hayley seemed to see the inner conflict he was confronting and called him out on in it.

"Would you like to share with the class?" She mocked

Suddenly the whole room quieted and waited for Tommy to say something.

"There are more gems out there." he said

"What ?!" They all yelled in confusion

" I thought you said the white gem was the last one?" Hayley said still confused as the kids

"Well I have been studying an unusual pattern of energy over California, I just can't seem to get a lock on the source of the energy." Tommy explained

"How many more gems?" Kira asked

"Well if this energy is coming from gems ..would say five at least, but this energy is covering such a large area it could be anything … lets just hope if these are more gems Mesagog doesn't find them before we do." Tommy said

********************************************************************************* ~~Meanwhile ~~

Five young adults were walking in a familiar area of their of there childhood catching up and planning to make a reunion. It been a while since they all talked to each other. Though the group wished all their friends were with them now to plan a offical reunion, they also understood not alot of people could get off from work at such short notice. The group also realized they would all be able to hang out once the details for the reunion were were laughing and feeling nostagic about their childhood walking through the same park they practically lived in as teenagers, when they came across something strange, by their standards. The group stumbled upon a meteorite that was glowing. It seemed as if no one had seen it before them. The five young adults ran over to check it out. When they reached over to glowing meteorite they saw 5 strange colorful rocks, each one of the aduts grabbed a rock. But what the strange part about it was each one picked up a rock they felt they drawn to. As soon as they placed them in there hands the five felt a strange surge of energy and strength, something that the five hadn't felt in a long time.

"Lets get these to the lab to find out what these are." the one with the dark navy rock said

"Wow I haven't heard you say that in a long time." the one who held the crimson red rock said

"Just like old times" the one with the pink rock said

At the Cybercafé the four teens sat on the couch in the corner pondering the possibility of more gems. The group left Dr. O alone so he could do more research and Hayley decided to stay behind to lend him a hand. She asked Trent and the others to head over to the cafe so they keep in eye on it. Even though she had plenty of empolyes to handel the customers, she trusted the teens the most to make sure they're no issues while she was absent. While overseeing the cafe they also pondered the possibility of Mesagog getting his scaly and slimy hands on those possible gems well…. One evil ranger was one thing, but five evil rangers were a different story. The thought gave the four shivers up and down their spines.

"If that field of energy are Dino gems...We got to get a hold of them before Mesagog does." Conner said
