REVISED!


Chapter 2:

"Hey guys," Trent Fernandez approached his fellow rangers the next morning outside of Tommy's classroom before first period. He shifted his book bag so it wasn't sliding off his shoulder anymore.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Kira asked with a small smile, for Trent had a case of food poisoning the day before.

"Better," Trent answered, returning her smile. "My stomach's still upset, but I'm all right."

Conner clapped him on the shoulder. "Just take it easy today, man. And no more fast food for you."

Trent weakly chuckled. "Will do. Oh, hey, I heard Mr. Johnson left already."

"Yeah," said Ethan. "We have a Miss Evans now. She's all right. Took my Gameboy though."

Trent chuckled as he clapped the Blue Ranger on the shoulder. "Haven't you learned by now, man?"

Ethan shook his head and entered their Science classroom.

"Morning, guys," greeted their mentor. The Rangers returned his greeting and took their seats just as the bell rang.

"All right, class," Tommy called over the voices of the students. "Take out your models. This is the last day you have to work on them in class before handing them in. And please make sure you put your names on them."

The students moved about the classroom to their groups as Tommy walked up to the Rangers.

"Can you guys stay for a minute after class? I gotta talk to you," Tommy said quietly.

"Yeah," said Conner as the other three nodded. "No problem."

Tommy nodded to them, and crossed the room to help a group with their model.

"How come you guys are so close to Dr. Oliver?" Cassidy asked as she walked by Ethan, Conner, Kira and Trent. "Isn't that a little weird for student-teacher relationships?"

Kira rolled her eyes. "Why don't you try minding your own business for once, Cassidy?" she snapped.

Cassidy looked taken aback. "What's your problem?" She asked, but didn't wait for an answer.

"You okay, Kira?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah," answered the Yellow Ranger. "Sorry, I'm just, a little irritable today I guess. I didn't get much sleep last night. The neighbors had a very loud, drunken party that's probably still going on if everyone's not passed out by now."

The boys made a mental note not to make Kira angry, and started on their model.


"So, what's up, Dr. O?" Conner asked after class once all the students had left.

"I need you guys to keep your eyes open today," said Tommy. "I saw a couple of Tyrannodrones this morning, but they disappeared before I could do anything. I alerted Hayley and she's checking it out now. I'll alert you guys right away if something comes up. And if you see anything funny, tell me as soon as you can."

The Rangers nodded, and left as the bell signaling the start of second period echoed throughout the building. The four teens hurried down the hallway and hesitantly entered Miss Evans classroom. She looked up from her desk as they did.

"Do you have a note?" she asked, standing up.

"No," said Connor.

"Then it's detention with me after school today. If it happens again, I'll have to alert Principal Randell," said Miss Evans. "Now take your seats."

They did as they were told, sulking, for each had something they wanted to do after school. Again, as Kira passed their English teacher, a distant humming sounded in her ears.

"Mr. Fernandez, I presume?" Miss. Evans asked, approaching Trent's desk. When he nodded, she handed him a small packet of papers. "Thus is your syllabus, do not lose it." She turned to the rest of the class. "Pass in your homework please, and then clear your desks for a surprise quiz." (AN, I know sometimes Mesagog calls him Trent Mercer, but when he was introduced, it was Fernandez, because Tommy had asked Mercer about that, so it's Fernandez in this story.)


The Rangers were bored out of their minds. They still had forty-five minutes left in detention and time seemed to be moving extra slow. They hadn't heard any news about the Tyrannodrones, and they were getting somewhat anxious.

Ethan glanced at Miss Evans. She was grading their pop quizzes from behind her desk.

"Miss Ford," she said, holding out Kira's quiz.

Kira took it and smiled. A.

"Mr. James."

"All right! Perfect score!" Ethan grinned as he returned to his seat.

"And Mr. McKnight."

Connor nodded. B. Not bad.

"Mr. Fernandez, to make up for the quiz, write down what you know about King Arthur and hand it in at the end of detention," Miss Evans said, crossing the room to the filing cabinet.

The familiar beep of the Rangers communicators sounded. They exchanged glances. If Miss Evans had noticed, she decided to ignore it as she filed quizzes.

"Uh, Miss Evans? Can I run to the bathroom?" Conner asked. "I really gotta go."

"Make it quick."

Conner did just that. He jumped from his chair and left his friends behind as he ran to the bathroom. Once he checked that the restroom was clear he contacted Tommy.

"Dr. O, it's Conner. What's up?" he said quietly to his wrist.

"Where are you guys?" came Tommy's voice.

"Detention," said Conner. "with Miss Evans because we were late to class without a note."

"Sorry about that," said Tommy. "Just head on over to my place as soon as you can. I got something to show you guys."

"Sure thing."

Conner left the bathroom and returned to detention. Miss Evans was once again behind her desk, writing. Just as Conner took his seat, he jumped back up. Floating outside the window was a very pale man with black hair and eyes. He grinned evilly at Conner, bearing a pair of fangs, and then disappeared. Conner noticed that everyone was staring at him.

"Is there a problem, Mr. McKnight?" Miss Evans asked coolly.

"You-you didn't see that?" he said, pointing to the window.

Miss Evans glanced out the window, as did the Rangers. "See what?" she asked.

"N-never mind," Conner said, taking his seat, his eyes not leaving the window.

Miss Evans raised an eyebrow before returning to her work.

"Dude," Trent whispered as he, Ethan and Kira looked worried. "are you okay?"

Conner nodded. "I'll tell you later."


"Dr. O!" Conner called as he hurried down the stairs into Tommy's underground lair with the Rangers at his heels.

Tommy, who was standing behind Hayley at the computer, quickly turned at the tone of Conner's voice.

"Dr. O," Conner said again. "In detention, I saw this guy, and he was floating outside the window! And he had really sharp teeth, like a-like a vampire or something."

Tommy looked at him curiously before turning to Ethan, Kira and Trent. "Did you see this guy as well?"

They shook their heads with a mumble of 'no.'

"I'm telling you, he was there," Conner insisted.

"It's all right," said Tommy. "I believe you. Hayley, want to check that out?"

"Already on it," she called. "There's an unknown power source coming from the woods outside of town. It looks powerful."

"We better get going then," said Tommy. The teens nodded.

"Ready?" Conner called.

"Ready! DINO THUNDER, POWER UP! HA!"


"Do you guys see anything?" Kira asked as she and her fellow Rangers walked about the trees.

"No," the White Ranger called. "I saw a dead squirrel though."

"Ew," Kira whispered as the Black Ranger appeared at her side.

"Something's here," he said. "I know it. I can feel it's power."

"Very good," came a very deep voice.

The Rangers whipped around and gasped at what they saw.

"Whoa, what is that?" Kira asked, pointing to the beast who was holding a medieval Broad Sword.

"It's a Minotaur," said Ethan. "Like in the ancient myths."

"Those things are real?" Conner asked.

"Looks like," said Tommy. "All right, who are you and what do you want?"

The Minotaur chuckled, his black eyes narrowing. "I am General Valkryie, and why I am here is none of your concern. "

"Now, now, General, just where art thou manners?" came a cool voice. A man jumped down from his hiding place in a tree. He landed next to the Minotaur. He wore medieval clothing of all black.

"That's him!" Conner exclaimed. "That's the guy I saw outside the window!"

"Who are you and what do you want?" said Trent.

The pale man bowed. "Vincent Akesh, former second in command to Lord Ector."

Tommy stiffened.

"And I am here, to avenge his death," Vincent continued, bearing his fangs.

"You won't be avenging anyone," Tommy growled. "You don't belong here."

Vincent's eyes narrowed, and flashed red. "Kill them."

The Minotaur growled and brandished his sword, but before he could take a step forward, an arrow whistled past his ear.

"Leave them alone. Your fight is with me."

The Rangers whipped around and gasped.

"Whoa!" Conner said, pointing.

Standing not far from the Dino Rangers and aiming an arrow in a re-curve wooden bow at the Minotaur was a female version of Tommy's Green Dragon Ranger, only without the gold shoulder pads. (A/N when I saw female version, I mean with a skirt haha, just making that clear). Tommy stiffened as Vincent laughed.

"Well look who finally decided to show up," he called, venom dripping from his voice. "And here I thought you had run away. Like a coward."

The Green Ranger's grip tightened on her bow. "How did you man

age to escape?" she spat. "You were dying as we put you into confinement."

"You underestimate me," Vincent growled. He lunged for the Green Ranger, but she loosed her arrow, hitting him in the left shoulder. He halted, and looked at his wound.

"I'm warning you, Vincent," The Green Ranger slowly lowered her bow. "We could do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way. Either way, you're both going back to confinement."

The Minotaur roared and charged at her. She tossed her bow aside and two medieval short swords appeared in her hands. She met the Minotaur halfway, swords crashing together with a shower of red sparks.

"We should help her!" Conner called as the Minotaur managed to cut the Green Ranger's arm.

"No!" called the Green Ranger. "Stay back! I can handle it!" She flipped over the creatures head and landed gracefully behind him. She kicked him in the back, forcing him into a tree.

Conner still made to go for her, but Tommy had grabbed his arm. "Do as she says," he told the Red Ranger. The Dino Rangers watched as the Green Ranger fought with the Minotaur with great skill. She finally managed to knock the sword from his claws and shove one of hers through its neck. The creature fell to its knees and burst into cloud of black smoke.

Vincent Akesh roared and shoved Tommy out of his way as he lunged at the Green Ranger. She fell to her back, but held her hands up, grasping his shoulders, and pushed her boot into his chest to send him flying into the tree behind them. He toppled to the ground. "This isn't the last of me!" He roared before disappearing.

The Dino Rangers hurried to the mysterious Green Ranger and helped her to her feet. She mumbled a thank you, and brushed the dirt off her suit.

"Who are you?" Trent asked, voicing the thoughts of his fellow rangers.

The Green Ranger turned to him. "You'll know the truth in due time." She turned to the Black Ranger, and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Are you all right? Vincent didn't send a curse your way did he?"

The Bracchio Ranger shook his head. "No. I'm fine."

The Green Ranger gave a nod. "Keep an eye open for him. He likes to play dirty." With that said, she disappeared in a cloud of white mist.

"That was weird," said Kira.
