So I couldn't wait, I just had to post this. I got excited, and I'm already about halfway through chapter 5. Plus, I'm away from my computer all weekend so thought now would be the best time to post this!

I own nothing but original characters!

I hope you like it!

Chapter 1: When Evil Stirs

Music filled the air of the small practice room in use, with a young woman's singing mixing well with it. The girl who looked around 17 with long black hair tied back into pigtails played guitar as she sang, with a young man with dark hair playing bass, and a blond young man in sunglasses played the drums with vigor.

When the song ended, they took a breath, and the young woman lifted her water from the ground as her guitar hung around her chest.

"We're gonna dominate that competition," Ryan said confidently, stretching.

"I hear that," Jeremy grinned as he wiped the sweat off his face. Teddie didn't respond, in thought as her hand lingered at her chest, the other lowered to her side still holding the bottle. "Yo Ted, pass us the water," the drummer requested, and she snapped to attention, turning to him.

"Oh, sure," she grabbed him a bottle and tossed it to Jeremy, who caught it easily.

"What's up with you Teddie? You've been distant today," Ryan asked as Jeremy chugged the water. She glanced to him, letting her hand fall back to her side.

"Oh, I dunno," she shrugged. "Been feeling a little strange all day," she admitted, her mind wandering again as she looked away. Ryan glanced to Jeremy, who just shrugged, as clueless as he was. Teddie sighed, putting her water down as she thought about the events of the last few months.

It had been some time since the Dino Charge Power Rangers had defeated Sledge and recovered the Purple Energem. There'd still not been any sign of the destroyed ship, and Ari was dividing a lot of her time between searching for it, Mack, and helping to find the last two Energems.

While ten Energems had been found, the Aqua and Silver Energems were still undiscovered. While someone had bonded with the Aqua Energem, it didn't seem as if whoever had it was willing to show themselves anytime soon. Teddie was trying to help as well, but they hadn't made any progress whatsoever.

"Hey Teddie, don't you have to be at work soon too?" Jeremy asked, and Teddie snapped back to attention again.

"Oh man, Ms. Morgan will kill me if I'm late. We're so short staffed," she groaned, pulling off her guitar and returning it to its case. "I'll grab this later," she told them, lifting her jacket and helmet as the two watched her rush off.

"She never changes," Jeremy shook his head with a laugh. Ryan grinned in agreement.

The roar of an engine filled the streets of Amber Beach as the motorcycle rode through towards the museum. Leaning closer, Teddie sped as quickly as she was allowed, finally reaching the museum. Parking the bike at the back, she rushed through the museum towards the café, almost knocking someone over as she hurried past them.

"Sorry!" she called over her shoulder, not stopping as she pulled off her helmet.

"Teddie, you barely made it," Kendall warned her as she saw the girl rush past.

"But I made it!" Teddie replied, taking a deep breath and setting the helmet down in the corner of the kitchen. "Sorry Ms. Morgan, I just lost track of time," she apologised.

"It's fine, just don't make it a habit, again," Kendall warned her. Teddie nodded, smiling thankfully at her boss and team-mate.

"Indeed, my lady," Ivan nodded from the grill. "Punctuality makes a fine warrior indeed," he told her.

"Tell that to mum. I heard she was late to her own wedding," Teddie smirked.

"I hear from others!" they glanced to Koda as he rushed in, holding several letters.

"Oh yay, how's my bro doing?" Teddie smiled, missing her twin brother, who had returned to Briarwood with Olivia to show her around the magical realm and have her train her water magic. They each looked over the letters, reading them aloud for Koda, who, while having progressed a great deal since he had been defrosted, still took a while when it came to reading.

"Sounds like they're having fun," Ivan smiled as they read Chase's letter, which was interrupted many times for Olivia to add in her own parts.

"I knew Gramps and Grandma would like her. She keeps Chase in order," Teddie laughed as they read about Olivia meeting the rest of their very odd family.

"She's gotten more lenient with him I found," Ivan commented as they moved onto Tyler's letter. The Red Ranger was continuing to search for his father, searching all over the country for the places mentioned in the journal, but still wasn't having any luck past the brief glimpse shortly before they'd lost the Purple Energem. With all that was going on, he hadn't had a chance to talk to Ari about it until after they'd defeated Sledge.

During the wishing fiasco, Tyler had wished to see his father again, and had done, right before Wish Star attacked the Red Ranger. By the time he and Shelby had chased him off, Mack had vanished again.

"Oh, one from Arianna," Ivan lifted the letter after finishing reading about Riley being back on his farm, reading it.

"Living it up with the Prince in Zandar," Teddie giggled. When the others had all departed to continue with their lives, Philip had invited Arianna to join him in Zandar to spend time together. "I don't know who has it worse, Arianna or Olivia for meeting the parents," she considered.

"Olivia isn't meeting the royal family of another planet to her," Kendall reminded her.

"Yeah, but my family is really weird," Teddie argued with a shrug, lifting Shelby's letter. The Pink Ranger talked about studying business in university at her parents' request, and how she wasn't too sure it was for her.

"Imagine that. Shelby, studying to be a business woman," Ivan smiled.

"What is...business woman?" Koda frowned, confused.

"I have no idea," Ivan admitted. Kendall and Teddie exchanged amused grins.

"Order," one of the waitresses called, handing the docket to Ivan.

"Four Dino Burgers, three milkshakes, fries, fries and more fries!" he listed. "We simply cannot keep up!" he exclaimed, exhausted. They were down six workers, and the café was only getting busier.

"Don't worry, I'm about to interview a new waiter," Kendall assured with a calming smile.

"Thank god," Teddie sighed in relief. She followed Kendall out of the kitchen, giving the woman the letters from their friends. "Hey Ms. Morgan, I know we literally just said about being short staffed, but I was wondering if I could take a day off, go visit Spencer and Annie in New Tech?" she requested.

"What for?" Kendall asked her curiously.

"I wanna see how Spence is doing after the whole, y'know, head thing," Teddie tapped her head, and Kendall knew what she meant. Since they'd been forced to fight the Gold Ranger when Omni had taken hold again, Teddie had been particularly worried for her older brother, even though she knew he was getting help.

"He hasn't had any more instances of it happening," Kendall told her as she looked over the application form for the interviewee. "Took a punch from Jacob during training and didn't feel it surface," she added.

"Oh, been talking with Spencer, have we?" Teddie smirked, and Kendall felt her face start to warm. She'd forgotten who she was talking to about the young man.

"It was a minor conversation topic when discussing tracing the Energems," Kendall hissed at her, but Teddie didn't look convinced. "Can you go do some work, for once Teddie? And maybe put your helmet somewhere out of the way? I don't want Koda getting stuck again," she grumbled.

"Sure, sure, I'll go-" Teddie's eyes widened and she stopped abruptly at the table where Kendall was to have the interview. "You're that guy!" she exclaimed before she could stop herself, staring at the tall young man with bright blue eyes and a streak of blue through his hair.

"And you're that girl," he pointed back, a mischievous smile on his face. "I see you pay as much attention in the halls as on the road," he commented, and Teddie blushed as Kendall shot her a glare.

"I just...never got to thank you properly. For saving me," she shrugged at the young man.

"Oh, don't be silly. I just did what anyone else would have done," he smiled, and Teddie felt her blush grow.

"R-right. T-thank you!" she then rushed off, and Kendall arched her eyebrow before turning back to him.

"Teddie? Everything okay?" Koda asked as the girl rushed through the kitchen.

"Fine!" she squeaked, and Koda frowned as he watched her run into the freezer.

"Hmm, wonder what that was all about," Ivan commented, glancing up from the grill. "The last time I saw Teddie hide in the freezer was after she spilled a milkshake on Prince Philip," he remembered.

"That was an accident!" the White Ranger wailed from the walk-in freezer, still hearing him.

Olivia stumbled backwards, breathing heavily as the ground around her was soaked.

"I think we're done for now," Maddie smiled at her. Olivia nodded, grateful for the break.

"You've got potential, Olivia," Udonna smiled, having been watching the two train. Olivia blushed at the praise, and glanced around as Chase approached with Daggeron, Diana and Apollo.

"You coming? We're supposed to meet Uncle Joe in an hour," Chase grinned to her.

"Aw, boring!" Diana complained, walking over to Olivia and linking her arm through the Irish girl's. "I wanted to see some water magic training," she grumbled.

"Then you should have come earlier," Chase told her, unapologetic as he freed Olivia from Diana's grasp.

"How are you finding this all? I imagine it's a lot to take in," Daggeron asked the girl, who smiled back at him. She couldn't help but see the resemblance between the older knight, and Ivan, and it made her miss their friends even more.

"It's easy enough to grasp. After all, I've known Chase and Teddie for a while now," she grinned, and Chase rolled his eyes.

"I can see why Vida likes her," Udonna smiled in amusement.

"You're not funny. Let's go," Chase grumbled, taking her hand and pulling her along. Olivia grinned, thanking Maddie for the training before she was pulled away.

"I like her. She's tough and seems to handle herself well," Daggeron commented.

"Oh?" he glanced around as Althea approached with a grin. "Such a difference to disapproving of Xander," she teased him, and the man rolled his eyes.

"See where disapproving got us?" he sighed, but smiled softly, knowing that the Green Mystic had long since proven himself.

Emerging from the tree near to Rock Porium, Olivia looked around.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to that," she said as Chase followed her out.

"But you're used to everything else?" he asked, and she turned to him, resting her hands on her hips.

"There's a limit, you know," she pointed out, making him grin. "And I can only get used to so much so quickly. Be grateful my limit is so high," Olivia's stern look was ruined by the smile that spread across her face as he drew closer.

"Like you're totally normal," he replied, and cut off any retort with a kiss. "Now come on, before we're late," Chase told her, taking her hand again.

"Yeah yeah," Olivia rolled her eyes, before they heard a laugh behind them. Frowning, the pair looked around, and everything went dark.

"Come on Teddie, sword up," Ivan guided as he and Teddie practised after work.

"But I'm tired," she whined. Ivan gave her a stern look, and she sighed, doing as he instructed. They continued to train, with metal ringing out.

"That's odd," Kendall muttered to herself as she walked in, lowering her phone.

"What is?" Ivan asked as they looked around curiously, lowering their weapons.

"I got a message from Tyler, but it was cut off before he finished," Kendall explained, looking at them.

"I call Riley...and he not answer..." Koda walked over, holding up his phone as he looked worried.

"Hold your horses. You're being paranoid," Ivan told them, trying to keep his worry hidden as Teddie looked at him. "I'm sure that, you know, they're just fine," he insisted, but it did little to soothe their friends. "But then again, it wouldn't hurt to pay a little visit, right?" he then suggested.

"Right," Koda nodded.

"I'm calling Chase," Teddie grabbed her phone as they hurried out, leaving the Energems behind.

"Are you quite sure this is the place?" Ivan asked dubiously as they reached the outskirts of Amber Beach, where Tyler's phone signal had been traced to.

"Positive," Kendall nodded as they pulled up in the truck and climbed out.

"I couldn't reach Chase or Olivia," Teddie looked at her phone worriedly. "I'm really worried guys, it's not like them," she pointed out.

"Tyler!" Koda called out.

"We may cover more ground if we spread out," Ivan suggested, and the four nodded, splitting up.

"Ty!" Teddie called as she hurried through the forest, scanning her surroundings. She could only feel the presence of three others around her, and none were their leader. "Tyler, come on!" she pleaded, continuing to run.

"Over here!" hearing Kendall's voice, she ran to meet the others, and stopped, her eyes wide. "A monster did this," Kendall spoke softly as they stared at Tyler's jeep, which had been frozen in a massive block of ice.

"But Sledge was destroyed, wasn't he?" Ivan asked softly.

"But were his monsters?" Teddie asked in just as quiet a voice. The three exchanged nervous looks, before Teddie felt someone else approach. She glanced around, expecting it to be Koda, before gasping.

"Remember me?" before any of them could react, a cold cloud burst out around them, and everything went dark.

Ari walked into the base, humming to herself, and paused when she found that nobody else was around.

"Hello? Kendall? Koda?" she called out, but there was no response. "Teddie's bike was out back, she should be here," Ari murmured, walking over to the Energems. They shone as brightly as ever, and a bad feeling settled in her stomach. "Something's wrong. Really wrong," she murmured, before hearing the trapdoor open and someone slid inside.

Koda cried out as he tumbled to the ground, a thin layer of frost coating him as he clutched his stomach. "Koda!" he jumped, scrambling back. "Easy dude," Ari raised her hands, and Koda relaxed.

"Ari...there trouble, in fore-" Koda cried out in pain, and Ari knelt beside him, starting to glow. She touched his arm, and immediately he warmed up. The frost melted and dried off, and the pain from the attack faded, letting his muscles relax. Koda took a breath, settling down. "Thank you," he smiled, and she smiled back, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Okay Koda, what happened?" she asked him gently.

"Monster attack in forest. He got Kendall, Ivan and Teddie...maybe Tyler too," Koda explained, his eyes full of worry for his friends that he'd come to regard as family.

"Monster attack?" Ari blinked, surprised. "I guess some survived the crash," she sighed, shaking her head. "What about Shelby and Riley? And Chase and Olivia?" she asked him.

"Riley not answering," Koda shook his head. "And Teddie not able to reach Chase or Olivia," he added, and Ari helped him to his feet.

"Okay, you try calling Shelby," Ari told him, and he nodded, lifting his phone they'd managed to convince him to get. As he tried to call Shelby, Ari called Arianna, hoping that if someone was targeting the Rangers, they hadn't reached her and Philip in Zandar yet.

"Hello?" Arianna answered, and Ari breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey 'Anna. I'm sorry to ask, but..." Ari closed her eyes. "You and Philip haven't had any...problems, have you?" she asked, and Arianna paused.

"What's going on Ari?" Arianna asked, knowing immediately something was wrong. Ari heard Philip talking softly in the background.

"How soon can you guys get back? I have a feeling we're going to need the Graphite Ranger soon," she glanced to Koda, who shook his head, unable to get hold of Shelby.

"We'll be out as soon as we can. In the next few hours," Arianna told her quickly.

"Great. And be careful. A monster's out and after the Rangers," Ari warned.

"Thanks Ari," Arianna spoke softly, before they ended the call. The doors suddenly slid open, and both Koda and Ari turned and fell into fighting stances quickly.

"Whoa, just us," Joe held up his hands, supporting Chase.

"Chase!" Koda rushed over and hugged the Black Ranger tightly.

"What happened?" Ari asked as she hurried over to heal her son, who laughed.

"I missed you too Koda," he told the caveman.

"I was going to meet Chase and Olivia, and saw them attacked by a monster," Joe explained as Chase sat down. "They were frozen solid, but Chase managed to break out," he glanced to Chase.

"I guess my magic?" he suggested. Joe hesitated, and Ari arched an eyebrow, seeing the movement.

"In any case, I was only able to get Chase away. The monster got Olivia," Joe continued with a heavy sigh, and Chase's hands clenched tightly.

"She's not the only one," Ari sighed. "Kendall, Ivan and Teddie got grabbed, Koda barely escaped," she shot Koda a worried glance. "We think Tyler, Riley and Shelby have been taken too, we haven't been able to reach them," she explained.

"What about Prince Philip?" Chase asked as Ari drew back from him, finished healing.

"On his way here with Arianna," Ari sighed, before they heard the trapdoor open above. Chase stood, and the group got ready to fight whoever had arrived.

Tyler suddenly slid into view, landing and dropping his backpack down. Koda let out a happy shout, rushing over and hauling him into the air in a tight hug.

"Koda...good to see you too..." Tyler laughed as Koda whirled around. "Chase? You're back?" he blinked in surprise as Koda set him down.

"Good to see you mate," Chase clapped his hand to his.

"Where's everyone else?" Tyler asked, realising that the other three who should have been there were gone.

"We go look for you. But monster attack...we not have Energem," Koda put a hand to his chest, reminding Tyler that despite his strength, Koda was no match for a monster. "They take Kendall, Teddie and Ivan away in big ice..." Koda looked away.

"It was Ice Age. He almost got me too," Tyler told him.

"Ice Age?" Ari frowned.

"We need to contact Shelby or Riley, or Philip!" Tyler told them.

"Shelby and Riley aren't answering," he paused at Ari's words. "I think they've been grabbed too," she sighed.

"It all my fault," Koda looked away sadly. He sat down, looking at his hands.

"Koda, what happened out there?" Chase asked him carefully as he and Tyler sat down with him.

"I tried to fight against ice...but it bring back many scary memories...from long time ago," Koda admitted, and Ari sighed, taking a seat beside him.

"Then when we picked up a weak reading of an Energem, we checked it out and found Koda frozen in ice," she put a hand on his arm, smiling. "Kendall made a Dino Blaze Charger, with a little magic from me, but don't tell her," Ari winked, making them smile in amusement as Joe rolled his eyes, chuckling. "But understandably, things were pretty disconcerting for Koda after 10,000 years," she added.

"Today, ice come up my arms, want to catch me again!" Koda stood up quickly, his voice trembling with fear. "But I escape ice...then I run away," he admitted guiltily.

"You escaped the ice?" Tyler asked him curiously.

"I'm so sorry, I should have found way to save the others," Koda murmured.

"Mate, you don't have to apologise," Chase told him as he walked over. "After all, I left Oli behind too. I couldn't save her," he glanced down, and sighed, shaking his head. "It wasn't your fault. They'll survive being frozen, we just need to save them," he grinned. Koda managed a weak smile back. The alarm suddenly blared, and Ari went over to the computer.

"What is happening?" Koda asked.

"It's Ice Age. He's in the city," Ari looked up at them.

"I have an idea," Tyler announced, and looked at Koda apologetically. "But we're going to have to be frozen," he admitted.

"Freeze in ice? Oh, no, no," Koda refused quickly, his fear overwhelming. "I can't," he turned and walked away.

"I think it's the only way we can save them," Tyler explained as Ari glanced to Chase, who was looking at his hands, confused. Joe was watching him as well, arms folded.

"Koda," Chase dropped his hands to his sides and approached the scared caveman. "You're the bravest of all of us. And the other Rangers, our friends, they need you right now," he told him as Koda stared back with big dark eyes.

"Before we face that monster again, you're going to teach us exactly how you escaped from that ice today," Tyler smiled confidently. Koda glanced from him, to Chase, who grinned back.

"Okay Joe," Ari spoke as they watched the three hurry out to fight Ice Age, bringing their Energems with them. "What aren't you telling me?" she asked her brother. The tall blond man ran a hand through his hair as the doors slid shut.

"When I saw Chase and Olivia being frozen by that monster, I went to use my magic. But Chase broke through the ice like it'd melted, and all I could do was get him away so we could get here for help," Joe started, and met Ari's gaze. "Ari, he was glowing when he broke free," Ari's eyes went wide.

"That's impossible," she shook her head. "Chase and Teddie have never been able to glow," Ari reminded him. Joe shrugged.

"I'm just telling you what I saw," he said, and she sighed.

"Thanks, Joe, for getting him here," she hugged her brother, who smiled back.

"No problem," he hugged her tightly.

Running through the city, the three male Rangers hurried to the co-ordinates Ari had give them.

"Looking for your friends? Well, you've found your doom!" Ice Age laughed as they stopped in front of him, finding that he'd brought along a group of Vivix as well.

"Ready?" Tyler asked, and the other two nodded.

"Ready," Chase nodded.

"Ready..." Koda swallowed, before a determined look shone in his eyes. "To save my friends," he nodded.

"ENERGISE!" the three yelled, running at Ice Age as they Morphed.

"Freeze!" the monster cackled as the Rangers ran into a cloud of ice, and froze solid.

"I always knew you Rangers were blockheads," Ice Age taunted with glee. He laughed, ordering the Vivix to take them away.

"I hope this works," Chase murmured as they watched from a safe distance.

Teddie stumbled, crying out in alarm as everything turned bright again, and she was freed. Once she'd regained her balance, she found that Riley, Shelby, Kendall, Olivia and Ivan were standing with her, looking just as disorientated.

"What...?" Teddie frowned.

"What happened?" Riley asked, confused as Koda ran over and hugged them tightly.

"Oli!" Olivia let out a startled gasp as Chase lifted her into the air in a tight hug. "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have left you," he apologised.

"Uh...what's going on?" she asked him as he set her down and kissed her.

"Gross!" Teddie yelled.

"Looks like we're gonna need these again," Tyler grinned, and the Rangers took their Energems from them.

"The Energems!" they looked around quickly as they heard a growl. "The key to my past, present and future!" a monster growled with laughter. More menacing looking than Ice Age, he was also powerful, sending a shiver down Teddie's spine. Parts of him glowed a bright blue, and he held a long sword in his hand.

"Who is that?" Chase wondered.

"I'm Snide. Get their Energems!" the monster ordered Ice Age.

"Yes sir! Time to ice them and dice them!" he nodded, walking towards the Rangers.

"This'll be the last time you hear these words," Kendall called as she walked forwards. "It's Morphin' Time! Dino Charger!"

"Ready!"

"ENERGISE, HA! UNLEASH THE POWER!"

"Power Rangers..."

"Dino Charge!"

"Vivix, rise! Attack!" Ice Age called on the footsoliders.

"Dino Steel, Armour On!" the Rangers summoned their weapons. The Rangers easily fought them off, laughing at the familiar power that they'd all missed.

"I'll get the Energems myself!" Snide decided, running at Tyler. The Red Ranger looked around, eyes wide, before Snide's sword was deflected by Teddie's.

"You'll never get our Energems!" she fought him off, pushing him away from the others. "No matter how hard you try, we'll always win!" Teddie declared. Snide laughed, shoving her sword to the side.

"Try my hardest? How about I do that right now?" he asked her, pushing harder. Teddie countered, but was forced onto the defensive, and was unable to push back as he dictated their fight. She cried out as her sword was thrown aside, and he cut down her front, throwing her to the ground. "Don't worry about your racing heart, Ranger. In a moment, it won't be beating at all!" Snide laughed as he stood over her. However, blue light began to shine on his neck, and he snarled in pain.

"What?" Teddie frowned, feeling a surge of energy in the air. He turned suddenly, running off.

"Not now!" he growled, and Teddie watched as he ran away from the fight. There was a burst of energy, but before she could follow it, Riley was helping her up.

"You okay?" he asked her, and she nodded.

"Yeah," Teddie then shook her head. "Let's go finish this," she grinned, and the two joined the others as Ice Age called on an ice attack.

"Energise! Dino Morpher Blast!" Kendall fired a powerful attack.

"That doesn't sound cool!" the monster wailed, and screamed as the attack hit him.

"Dino Charger, ready! Weapons combine!" the Rangers formed the Dino Spike.

"Allow me to lend a hand! Lightning Final Strike!" Ivan used his own powerful move.

"Red Ranger Launch!" Tyler leapt into the air and caught the Dino Spike as it flew past, allowing him to slam into Ice Age. Ice Age wailed, and exploded, destroyed. However, a moment later, he reappeared, growing much larger.

"No!" Olivia put her hands to her mouth.

"How does their Magna Beam still work?" Teddie wondered.

"Dino Charger, ready! Summon Zords!" the Rangers summoned the Plesio and Pachy Zords, combining them into a Megazord.

"Dino Drive, Activate!"

"Let's send this ice pop packing!" Tyler cheered as Ice Age called on some Vivizords.

"Let's take Megazord for a spin!" Koda suggested.

"Pachy Zord Wrecking Ball!" the powerful mace destroyed the two monsters in one hit, making Ice Age yelp in fear, backing away. Summoning the T-Rex Zord, Tyler allowed it to combine with their Megazord as well.

"Let's finish him!" the Rangers cheered.

"How? You're outnumbered!" Ice Age called on more help.

"Together," Tyler glanced to his team. "T-Rex Blast!" the mouth of the T-Rex opened, and fired a powerful fireball that destroyed the monsters Ice Age was using as a shield. "We're not done yet," Tyler smirked.

"Three...two...one...Galactic Blast!" they fired the attack, and Ice Age cried out in horror as the purple attack smashed through him. The Rangers cheered, celebrating another victory.

"Home sweet home," Chase smiled as he walked into the base, letting his Energem fly to the Crystal Bed.

"Man, this sure beats cleaning pig pens," Riley sighed happily.

"Dude, if that's the case then you can cover my shifts upstairs," Teddie sighed as she walked past him, exhausted. "Three of us isn't enough to handle those customers," she complained.

"I really missed you guys while I was away," Tyler admitted as the others followed them in.

"I really missed you too," Shelby told him, before freezing as he glanced at her, smiling obliviously as the others smirked. "I mean...everyone," she clarified. Teddie snorted as Ari grinned in amusement to Joe, who chuckled as well.

"As subtle as you and Xander used to be," Ari immediately punched her brother, who started laughing.

"Koda," Kendall called to the Blue Ranger, who turned to her with a smile. "I remember when we rescued you from the glacier, you were very afraid of ice," she commented, and Koda glanced away. She put a hand on his arm, smiling. "Thank you for being so brave today," Kendall said, and Koda shrugged.

"I thought my biggest fear was ice...but..." Koda sighed. "My biggest fear...is losing my new family," he admitted. They smiled softly, touched by his words. He then suddenly hugged Kendall, who was taken aback by the action, but let it happen.

"Guys! Are you...oh..." Arianna stopped in the doorway, and sagged. "I told you we'd miss it," she grumbled to Philip as he caught up to her.

"We came as soon as we could. I apologise for the delay," he bowed his head to the Rangers, who smiled back.

"Arianna!" Teddie threw herself at the Mercurian for a tight hug, and Arianna tripped, falling over with a cry as Teddie laughed.

"Huh. Wonder who she's just like," Joe murmured to Ari.

"I will punch you again," the woman threatened, making him grin.

"Welcome back, Rangers," they all looked around as Keeper appeared. "I was hoping you wouldn't be needed again, but duty calls," he told them, and they nodded.

"Rangers," Kendall spoke up, walking over to the Crystal Beds. "We now have Ten of the Twelve Energems," she reminded them.

"We know someone found and bonded to the Aqua Energem, because the Ankylo Zord is awake," Shelby added in.

"Correct, my lady. We need to find that elusive Aqua Ranger," Ivan nodded.

"We did have a reading briefly in town a little while ago, right before Sledge attacked," Ari spoke up. "But after that, they vanished again," she shook her head. "But it doesn't mean we can stop looking for them," she said.

"And the Silver Energem. The twelfth and last Energem," Philip included.

"And once we do, I'll be able to continue my duties as the guardian of the Energems," Keeper announced. "We must not fail," he looked to the Rangers, who nodded.

"We do have a new bad guy to worry about," Teddie folded her arms. "Snide...he's powerful. And there's a lot of energy there...there's something weird about him," she shook her head.

"He gave me the creeps," Chase muttered. Ari frowned, reminded of a dark energy on Sledge's ship that she'd felt coming from one of the cells. She'd not felt fear like it in a long time.

"We've got a lot of work to do then. Let's get busy," Kendall smiled confidently.

The Rangers are back to action!

So we'll be having some pretty big changes to Super Charge, more than usual, so I hope you enjoy!

Please review!
