Tommy fell to the ground, dirt flowing into the air. His body lay there on the ground, motionless. The air seemed to be drained from his body, as was whatever energy he had. His dino gem clicked out of place, falling onto the ground from its place in his bracelet. Mesogogg picked it up before dropping it inches away from Tommy's reach. Just when Tommy thought he had the hard, black gem back in his grasp once again Mesogogg brought his foot down on it, crushing the gem Tommy held so precious into one hundred pieces. A low growl emitted from Mesogogg's rough throat as Tommy fought to stand back up. His legs betrayed him as his hands left the soft ground. He fell back to earth, his face in the dirt. He let them down. How could he protect them without his powers? Kira, Trent, Conner, Ethan, and everyone in Reefside. He'd let them all down. Tommy wanted to cry badly, to let his emotions roll over in a fit of rage, but he kept himself calm as he awaited his appending doom.

Soon Tommy could feel Mesogogg's rough foot in his back, the pressure becoming even more greater with each passing second. Tommy groaned loudly as Mesogogg placed both of his feet onto Tommy's back. "Ah, Tommy, are you stuck?" Mesogogg lowered himself, grabbing a large patch of Tommy's hair and pulled back on it forcing his back to arch. "Now without you, the Power Rangers will fall...and at the hands of their own teacher." Tommy released his clenched teeth, and opened his eyes in surprise. "Theres no way Mesogogg," Tommy groaned louder, "that I'd ever help you. Even without me the others will defeat you. Evil always loses." Mesogogg released his grip on Tommy's hair and presented a small syringe filled with a sickly looking yellow chemical. "Oh, but I think you will help me. You'll have no choice." With no strength to fight back Tommy's arm was pulled into the air, and the syringe's tip was plunged into his soft skin, penetrating directly into a vein. Tommy's arm was dropped, and immediately the toxin inside of his vein's began to take affect. Tommy stood in front of Mesogogg a new man. A corrupted hero.

"Ready?" Conner asked Kira, Ethan, and Trent. All of them nodded and immediately transformed into their Dino Forms, each one possessing different colored suits. Each pulled out their swords and charged forward towards Mesogogg's puppets who fell helplessly to the ground. "That was easier than I thought it would be." Conner commented as he looked towards the others who agreed. "I wonder whats going on..." Trent, the newest member, commented. They all stood in the middle of the park wondering what else was going to happen when a new voice echoed through the park. At the top of the stairs stood the notorious Green Ranger, the sun gleaming brightly off the helmet. "I hope you didn't think this party was over, because now that I'm here, the real fun begins!" As the Green Ranger spoke, he shoved his hand high into the air before clenching it tightly. Everyone stared up at the ranger at the top of the stairs in disbelief. Ethan came forward, his arms at his side. "But, that was Dr. O's old Ranger suit! He can't be back!" Trent moved forward, eyes narrow behind the white helmet. "If that was Dr. O's old suit, then either Dr. O's in there, or someone's made a very good copy of him." Conner stood forward now as well, fist clenched tightly. "No! Thats not Dr. O, he wouldn't work for Mesogogg!" Kira was the only one to remain quiet. Was it really Dr. O behind the mask, or just a good replica? She didn't have to wait long for an answer though. "Thats right kids, the good ol' Green Ranger is back, and I'm stronger then ever. You better hope you are to, or you better be able to run fast!" With that the Green Ranger jumped into the air, his body moving forward towards the other Rangers at a rapid speed.

The Green Ranger's attacks came at a blinding speed. His fist connected with Trent's chest, sending him back at least two yards, and then he kicked Conner's legs right from underneath him before landing a devastating blow on Ethan's head. Kira backed away in horror, finding herself barely able to raise her sword. "Dr. O, please..." She pleaded, hoping that her words would somehow overcome the bind that held onto her beloved teacher like a death grip. No use. Trent kicked the Green Ranger square in the back, sending him right in front of Kira who caught him quickly. "Thanks kid...big mistake though." The Green Ranger grabbed Kira's arms tightly and flung her towards Trent who had no choice but to catch her. They both tumbled to the ground, each one taking a hard hit as they fell. Ethan and Conner were all ready back on their feet and ready to attack when Tommy turned towards them. "Heh, you'll regret trying to fight me." Grabbing his laser gun with lightning speed Tommy fired three shots rapidly at the two Rangers. One blast sped past their helmets, but only as a distraction. The other two hit them directly above their emblem. Trent and Kira both stood up wearily as Conner and Ethan fell, pain rampaging through their bodies like mad bulls. Trent moved forward quickly, his sword in hand. He swung down hard, but the Green Ranger was faster, and managed to move to the side before the sword hit thin air. Tommy gripped Trent's wrist tightly, tightly enough so that the sword fell to the ground without a sound. "Please, Dr. O, stop this!" The words fell onto deaf ears. Tommy dropped his head slightly, staring at his own hand grabbing so tightly onto Trent's. "Sorry kid, but this is greater then you." With that Trent was dropped, his hand grabbing at his almost broken wrist. Tommy turned to Kira who immediately fell to the ground under his gaze. He turned away from the fallen Yellow Ranger and ascended the stairs again. When at the top he turned to Kira, who was all ready facing him. "No matter what you do. I'll always win. When darkness comes over your heart you'll learn its the best." Kira turned her head down to the grass below her. Tears slid from her eyes and plopped softly onto the inner surface of her helmet. Dr. O was gone...forever.

Tommy sat on his throne in the middle of his large emerald colored palace. Black flames flickered lightly on the walls as he sat by himself, no noise to disrupt his thinking. Although he was the Green Ranger, he still possessed all of his memories. His former friends ran vividly through his mind, landing on Kim. He turned his head down. Kim...His first real love. Maybe that was what he needed again? Love...He needed to know what it felt like. But not now. Hate had consumed him, turning him against everything he loved. He had power now...and, it felt good. Fantastic. It was as if everything had been a dream, and now he had awaken to see his true self. It felt like he had been falling helplessly through the world, never knowing what was exactly going around him. Everything turned into a blur as he closed his eyes and stood. Dizziness overcame his body, and he quickly found himself falling to the rock hard ground. Mesogogg pushed open the doors to Tommy's palace. "What are you doing?" He asked himself aloud as he moved forward to Tommy. He couldn't believe that this good of a warrior was so stupid. Removing Tommy's helmet Mesogogg took out another syringe, exactly the same as the first. The cold metal tip was plunged into Tommy's neck, turning his eyes lifeless. "There." Mesogogg turned and left the palace leaving Tommy on the ground, falling again through the air. Nothing made sense anymore. Would he ever escape?

"I don't believe it." Kira whispered to herself as she combed her hair in the mirror. Her eyes were overflowing with tears at the reappearance of the Green Ranger. He was the last one standing at the battle. The last original Ranger. Her last love. Kira allowed herself to fall back onto her bed, the pillows and sheets caressing her skin softly. It felt like heaven. Soft and warm. A bliss. Then the bliss was disrupted by Tommy's voice. There had to be a way to save Dr. O. There had to be. Kira turned on her side and flipped on the radio. Just in time for the next song on her favorite station. Kira turned her back to the radio and clutched a pillow tightly as Savin' Me by Nickleback came on, ringing throughout her room. Tears rolled down her eyes slowly. Why had he gone back to being evil? Wasn't her love enough to bind him to her, even if she didn't admit her feelings for him aloud?

Tommy slipped backwards, his body falling heavily onto the bed. He was naked. The cool air rolled across his skin, but he felt nothing. It was as if a large shadow had been cast on him. All of the power that he now had rolled into his chest creating a searing pain. He closed his eyes only to see the image of Kira sitting helplessly in the middle of her fallen friends. Tommy turned to his sides, empty brown eyes staring at the wall. It was as if his soul had been torn from his body and rolled around the palace searching for something. Something warm, and soft. Something to take away the pain. Then the drug settled itself into his bloodstream, heading straight into his brain. He fell into a deep sleep, never moving at all. His chest remained the same as if he needed to no longer breathe. No dreams came to him. The darkness that shadowed his mind was a dream itself. He felt nothing now. He thought nothing.
