Victor stood in the room, panting, the four teens and Doctor Oliver all looking at him. Victor and the four teens jumped slightly as they heard banging against the door before the sound of the door being cut through started. Doctor quickly dispensed four T-Rex themed double barrelled blasters to the four teens that had been in the room, along with silver battery like devices with coloured crystals in the centre of them; blue for Elliot, pink for Amanda, green for Charley and black for Tony.
"To morph, just put the batteries in the mouth, call 'Dino Strike, Charge' and fire." Doctor Oliver said, turning around just in time to see Victor grab the fifth blaster and the red battery beside it "What are you doing?"
"No idea." Victor said as the doors gave way and the figures came in, Victor inserting the battery in the blaster and firing the blaster at the figures "Dino Strike, Charge!"
A beam of red energy fired from each barrel, hitting the two lead figures before curving back and engulfing Victor. First, a red bodysuit formed, a silver shoulder pad with a red triangle and three spikes on it on his left shoulder, a yellow line with silver border going diagonally down his chest to just above his right hip from it, a black zigzag pattern on the yellow line, a red T-Rex head just below the shoulder pad, white gloves with a silver band on his hands and silver banded red boots on his feet, with a silver belt with a black and gold buckle with a silver symbol with a symbol matching the appearance of the yellow line and shoulder pad on it. A second later, the second beam took on the appearance of a T-Rex head, biting down on Victor's head, leaving him wearing a red helmet with a black visor making up most of the face plate, a small silver triangle mouthpiece, yellow teeth around the visor, giving the helmet the appearance of a T-Rex head.
Victor looked down at his hands, confused, before turning back to the other four teens and Doctor Oliver. Inside the helmet, a smirk formed.
"Are you kidding me?" Victor asked "I'm a freaking Power Ranger?!"
"Look out!" Amanda called, Victor spinning just in time to see one of the figures taking a slash, Victor catching the strike by the forearm.
"I could get used to this." Victor said with a chuckle as he spun and kicked the creature in the gut "What should we call you? I like slashers, sounds cool!"
"Stop playing games!" Doctor Oliver called "They're dangerous!"
"Well then, we should back him up." Charley said, inserting his battery into his blaster as the other three teens did the same "Ready guys?"
"Ready!" The other three said as each of the four aimed at one of the figures and pulled the trigger "Dino Strike, Charge!"
Each of their D-Fenders fired beams in their respective colours, doing the same as Victor's blast had done, leaving them all in similar suits. Elliot's had a Stegosaurus theme, Amanda's a Triceratops motif, Tony's was styled after a Velociraptor and Charley's a Parasaurolophus. The four teens charged forward, beginning to fight the slashers. After a second, Doctor Oliver joined the fight, kicking the slasher that was attacking Charley in the gut before punching the one that was charging him.
"I don't need any help!" Charley said, before a slasher that was charging him from behind was hit in the chest with a blast.
"Could've fooled me!" Amanda said "Tony, behind you!"
"Thanks!" Tony replied, spinning and punching the slasher that was about to strike in the face "New guy, you alright?"
"It's Elliot!" Elliot corrected "And I'm doing fine!"
"Am I the only one having fun here?" Victor asked, firing his D-Fender at a slasher before spinning and hitting another one with the grip of the weapon "Kind of wish we had some other weapons though..."
"Press your belts." Doctor Oliver said "You can activate extinction mode. It'll let you access your other weapons!"
"You heard the doc!" Victor said, pressing his belt "Dino Charge Rangers, Extinction Mode!"
The five had silver armour appear down their left arms, spikes running down the side of the armour. As the armour finished appearing, their weapons appeared in their hands.
"Tyranno fang!" Victor called, brandishing a gauntlet styled on a cartoonish T-Rex head.
"Stego shield!" Elliot called, holding up his shield, a cartoonish Stegosaurus head in the centre of the spiked shield.
"Tricera drill!" Amanda called, holding up a long, drill like blade on a curved handle, styled on an animated Triceratops head.
"Raptor claw!" Tony said, holding up a three bladed weapon with an image of a cartoony Raptor head on it.
"Parasaur shot!" Charley said, drawing his bowgun, with an image styled on an animated Parasaurolophus.
The five Rangers resumed their fighting, using their weapons to fight the slashers. After a moment, the six original slashers were on the ground, with about twenty more outside.
"Seriously?" Victor said "Didn't anyone teach these guys manners?"
The five Rangers charged out of the office and into the corridor, quickly beginning to fight and take down the slashers. As Victor took down the final slasher, he pressed his belt again, powering down to his base form, before turning and walking back into the office, followed by the other four, the five of them removing their helmets.
"Okay, Doctor Oliver, want to explain all this?" Victor asked, setting his helmet down on the desk before sitting on the edge of it "Like why you're sat here with guns that morph teenagers into Power Rangers?"
"If you'd been here for the start of the conversation, you'd have got that bit, Vic." Charley said "Something about a monster guy who destroyed the dinosaurs and now wants the crystals in those batteries so he can use their power to destroy us. Or something like that."
"How very eloquent." Amanda said, rolling her eyes "It doesn't matter about Doctor Oliver's reasoning, what matters is we're stood here as Power Rangers, and just got attacked by freaky monster things."
"Slashers." Victor said "They're called slashers."
"We don't know that." Tony said "You're right though, it is a pretty cool name."
"Thanks man." Victor said, turning to Elliot "Who're you?"
"Elliot." Elliot replied "You're the guy whose always late. Or absent. Right?"
"That'd be me, but it's not my fault!" Victor said "I'm just really bad at time keeping!"
"Well, regardless of that, the five of you should probably dimorph." Doctor Oliver said "Just eject the batteries, it'll end the morph."
"Got it. Power down." Victor said, ejecting his battery into his hand as the other four did the same "So, why do you have those things?"
"I'll explain that later." Doctor Oliver said "In the meantime, we need to go and see someone."
"Who?" Amanda asked.
"The woman who invented those powers." Doctor Oliver replied, turning to Victor "Then we can decide what to do about you."
...
Tommy walked into the lobby of the hotel he knew Hayley was staying at, flanked by Victor, Amanda, Elliot, Tony and Charley. Hayley was already waiting for them at the sofas, which the teens flopped down on, Hayley looking at Tommy confused.
"I thought you were going to find four teenagers with attitude?" She commented "There's five."
"I hadn't noticed." Tommy quipped, gesturing to Victor "He grabbed the Red Ranger morpher before I had the chance to use it."
"Well, that could be a problem." Hayley said "The Dino Crystals and D-Fenders bond to the user. The only ways to unbond them is through killing the person or rendering them an unsuitable host. Both processes are painful."
"So I get to keep it?" Victor said "Come on, Doc, you've gotta admit, I was great out there!"
"You were reckless and could've gotten us all killed!" Tommy retorted "You got lucky and assume that luck will always hold. What about the day it fails? I'm all for being optimistic, but-"
"Dr. O, Victor's right, he did good." Tony said "Of course, you're right too, he was reckless, arrogant, showboating-"
"You're forgetting awesome." Victor quipped, grinning at Amanda "Not to mention good looking."
"Someone's suddenly full of themselves." Amanda said with a grin, looking at Charley for a minute before looking back to Victor with a wink and a smile "I kind of like it."
"Teenagers." Hayley said, rolling her eyes before writing an address on a piece of paper and handing it to Elliot "Right, guys, I've got some stuff set up in a warehouse downtown. A simulator, a target range, that kind of thing. Get down there and get used to your powers."
"You've got it." Charley said "Come on guys."
"Hey, I'm the Red Ranger!" Victor said, before smirking and giving Charley a noogie "Come on guys."
The five teens left, leaving Tommy and Hayley sat there. Tommy put his head in his hands and ran his hair back through his short brown hair before turning to Hayley.
"He was good in there." Tommy said "But he was also everything Tony said he was."
"That's funny." Hayley said with a wry grin "I remember hearing similar story of a certain Green Ranger and White Ranger from the other creator of those powers."
"I wasn't that bad." Tommy said, before cracking a smile "I was worse."
...
Victor, Elliot and Amanda stood in the simulator, waiting for it to produce their simulated opponents. After a moment, it complied with the request for holographic adversaries, producing a Green Ranger with a silver embossed mouthpiece and gold chest piece, green triangles on his white gloves, a Red Ranger with a triangular red visor, red gloves and red boots, and a White Ranger with black triangles running down the arms and legs of his suit, a black and white chest piece and a red x-shaped visor. The Green Ranger had a dagger on his belt, the White Ranger a sword and the Red Ranger a gun similar to the D-Fenders.
"Okay guys, let's make this quick." Victor said, a black and gold katana appearing in his hand, identical swords appearing in Amanda and Elliot's hands "D-Sabres, power up! Let's take them down!"
The three teens charged the constructs, Amanda taking the White Ranger while Elliot took the Red Ranger and Victor took the Green Ranger. The Green Ranger played a tune on the flute element of his dagger before pointing it at Victor, firing a blast of green energy at him. The Red Ranger simply fired several shots from his blaster at Elliot, taking him to the floor, while the White Ranger slashed Amanda across the chest.
The three teens slowly pulled themselves to their feet. They looked at their opponents before their sabers began to glow. After a second, the sabers changed form into duplicates of the batteries in the Rangers' D-Fenders. The three teens looked at the batteries then at each other.
"What do we do with these?" Elliot asked "I'm pretty sure we're already morphed..."
"The D-Fenders have two barrels." Amanda said "Two barrels, two batteries, twice the power maybe?"
"Let's find out!" Victor said as the three of them inserted their new batteries into their D-Fenders and took aim at their respective opponents "Red D-Fender! Maximum Tyranno Strike!"
"Blue D-Fender!" Elliot called as he took aim "Maximum Stego Strike!"
"Pink D-Fender!" Amanda called "Maximum Tricera Strike!"
The three teens fired their weapons, the beams from each one appearing as the Dinosaur their respective user represented, hitting the holo-Rangers and destroying them in a large explosion. The teens turned on the spot and ejected their batteries, demorphing as they did.
"That was cool." Elliot said "Think we can do that every time?"
"I don't know." Victor said "But I agree, totally epic!"
"Let's just hope it works when we need it." Amanda said, before she heard a beeping coming from her D-Fender, pressing a button on top, releasing a silver watch-like device with a pink trim from it, Victor and Elliot both getting ones in their own colours from their D-Fenders.
"Rangers, come in." Hayley's voice came through the wrist devices "There's a creature attacking the city."
"We're on it." Victor said, as the three of them inserted their batteries into their D-Fenders "Dino Strike, Charge!"
...
Okay, so there's chapter two, probably of three parts for the pilot. To shed light on my choices for the holo-Rangers, it's simple; Green MMPR and White Dino Thunder: Both easily recognisable Rangers from previous Dinosaur teams. Quantum Ranger: The D-Fenders are based on his Quantum Defender. R&R. Please, no Flames.
