The next morning, Scott, Flynn, Summer and Ziggy were all eating breakfast together. The primary colored rangers all had eggs on their plate while the Green ranger ate some sort of sugary cereal. They all talked and laughed as they ate, enjoying one of their few minutes of the day where Venjix wasn't attacking. Summer immediately noticed when Dillon entered the room. The gauze on his hand had small red stains on it from the night before. He walked across the room to the fridge, which he opened very carefully ever since Doctor K almost blasted him to bits with the blaster she kept in there. He took a small orange juice out and made his way to sit with his friends. He was being noticeably silent, which made the whole table feel awkward. It was like they knew something he didn't.

"Um…hey, Dillon." Scott said looking at him strangely. "You okay?" he asked looking at Dillon's hand.

"Terrific." Dillon answered simply, opening his juice and taking a swig.

Ziggy grabbed the cereal box next to him and showed it to Dillon. "Would you like some cereal?"

"No thanks, I'm fine with just this." Dillon said fidgeting with his juice bottle.

A shock and horrified look hit Ziggy's face. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "But…it's Caramel Camel Crunch!" he told him pointing to a large camel on the box.

Dillon couldn't help but smile a little. He loved how innocent and childlike Ziggy was. He wished he could be more carefree like him in some ways. He could be annoying and klutzy sometimes, but he was a good ranger and friend. So he grabbed and empty bowl from in front of him and slid it over to the Green Ranger.

"Well, in that case." Dillon said, humoring his friend.

Ziggy excitedly took the bowl and began to pour a mountain of cereal in it. "This has three different kinds of caramel in it, along with a chocolaty coating!"

Ziggy slid the bowl over to his friend. Dillon looked at the sugary mess and cringed a little. "Thanks, Ziggy. This sounds…healthy." He said hesitantly as he poured milk into the bowl and stirred it around. As he did so, Flynn noticed the Black Ranger's gauzed hand.

"Hey, what happened to your hand there?" Flynn asked pointing at it with his fork.

Dillon cleared his throat nervously and began to shift in his seat. "I…uh, cut it changing my tires yesterday. I ran the tire gauge off course and it got me." Dillon lied. It wasn't until the words came out of his mouth that he realized how stupid his sounded. He had never heard of one cutting themselves with a tire gauge, but it was the best lie he could think of at the moment.

"Really?" Scott asked curiously.

Dillon shot him a dirty look. "Yes, really." He replied with an annoyed tone.

"Because the mirror in the bathroom was shattered to bits when I went in there this morning. I just figured that you knew something about it." Scott told him, biting into a slice of toast.

As Scott said this Summer looked over at Dillon and could tell that he didn't want to get into everything that happened last night. It was hard enough for him to open up to her, he never really had. She knew that going into something as deep as Taryn right now would only end in him getting frustrated. So she thought fast.

"I did that." She blurted out quickly.

"You?" Flynn asked, not entirely convinced. "How could you shatter a big mirror like that?"

"Um…when I was blow drying my hair this morning, I saw a big spider on the mirror, it startled me and I threw my hairdryer at it to kill it." Summer lied to them. She really didn't come up with a much better excuse than Dillon, and was kicking herself.

Ziggy paused and gave he a strange look. "You threw your hairdryer…at the spider?" he asked slowly.

"It was big." Summer said in her defense.

She looked across the table and saw Dillon trying to stifle his laughter. She was happy that she had found a way to make him laugh, even if it was at her lame lying skills.

"Okaaaaaaay." Scott said, rising from the table to clear his plate.

When no one was looking, Dillon looked over to Summer and mouthed to her, "Throwing a hairdryer?" he asked grinning.

"Cutting your hand on a tire gauge?" She mouth back with a smile.

Dillon chuckled to himself, and then looked at her again. "Thank you." He mouthed to her. Summer just nodded back at him with a smile. It made her feel special that she was the only one he really trusted out of the whole group, truth be told, she felt the same way about him. It wasn't that Dillon didn't trust the other rangers; Summer was the one that really seemed understand him. She could read him like a book, and in some ways, he liked that.

Dillon looked down at the cereal, if you could even call it that, in front of him. He didn't want to hurt Ziggy's feelings, but eating this junk seemed like a hurdle he just couldn't jump. He then felt Ziggy pat him on the back.

"Come on, buddy! Don't le the camels get soggy!" he told him cheerfully. Seconds after, he continued to devour his own bowl.

"Right." Dillon said with distaste. Seeing as how Ziggy was so excited about this, he decided to give in. He sighed as he picked up his spoon. He hesitantly lifted a bite from the bowl and tightly closed his eyes as he brought the spoon closer to his mouth. Just before he could eat it, their morphers went off. Dillon couldn't help but feel relieved, this was the only time he was glad that Venjix was attacking. He happily dropped the spoon back into the bowl.

"Let's move out team!" Scott ordered. Summer, Flynn and Ziggy all rushed from the table to get to their vehicles. "Signals are coming from on top of the Corinth City Museum.!" He told them.

"Saved by the beep." Dillon said with relief, as he went to join the others.

Tenaya stood high on top of the tallest building in Corinth—the Corinth City Museum. She peered down on the people and the atmosphere. She noticed that they sky was a gorgeous shade of blue and the trees looked extra beautiful. She never paid no mind to these things before, but something was different today and she didn't know what. She was jarred out of her thoughts at the sound of the Grinders twitching next to her. For some reason, a part of her didn't want to battle, she wanted to take in the scenery. She liked the way the breeze felt against her face. But she was aware that she had a job to do and she wasn't going to fail at it.

"Today will be the day that I squash those rangers, then Venjix will see that I'm his most powerful asset." She said to herself.

"Hmmm…I've got my doubts about that!" Scott yelled out suddenly from the distance.

Tenaya quickly turned to see her opponents. She saw Ranger Red and his team gathered on the roof in their ranger forms ready for battle. She looked at them in disgust and flipped her mask over her face.

"Come to play rangers?" she asked them, getting in a fighting stance.

"Why don't you just make things easy on yourself and leave, and take your little Grinder buddies with you!" Ziggy shouted at her.

Tenaya let out a wicked chuckle. "Please! You are the ones who need to make things easy on yourselves! You five won't walk away from this battle today!" she warned them.

"Enough of this!" Dillon interjected. "If you want a fight, Tenaya, I'll give you one!" he said pulling out his Nitro Sword. He was sick of all of Tenaya's evil ways and wanted to put a stop to them here and now. He head a lot on his mind what with his memories of Taryn and trying to figure out his past, a little fight with Tenaya was not what he wanted to mess with today.

"Goody! I'm looking forward to destroying you while your friends watch!" Tenaya retaliated. She began to walk around the roof, staring the rangers down. "After all, what harm can you do? You don't even know who you are." She said, trying to hit Dillon where it really hurt—and it was working.

Dillon balled his fists in fury and ran at her. Scott, Flynn, Summer and Ziggy all tried to run after him but a wave of Grinders ambushed them before they could. They tried as fast as they could to ward off the Grinders so they could aid the Black Ranger.

"Dillon, wait!" Summer called out, reaching out an arm to try and stop him.

But Dillon was too angry to stop. He couldn't even hear her calling out to him. He was bound and determined to give Tenaya what she deserved. He ran right at her, throwing a punch at her left shoulder. But Tenaya echoed it with the same attack, causing their fists to hit one another. He next attempted a blow to her face, but Tenaya had gone for the same thing with him, causing their fists to collide once more. He let out a grunt of frustration and decided to try something else. He jumped high in the air and tried to descend with an aerial attack, but she mirrored his actions by jumping as well. With every move he made she seemed to be going for the same thing. There fighting styles seemed to be one and the same. The two faced each other when they hit the ground.

"Where did you learn to fight like that?" Dillon asked her with a somewhat shocked tone.

"Venjix, who else?!" She yelled as she lunged at him, cross chopping at his stomach. But it was as if he predicted she was going to do so, because he was able to block it with ease. The two both went for a sweep kick at the other one, but their feet hit against one another in the middle, stopping their attacks. While on the ground, the two glared at each other, then back flipped to get on their feet again.

Tenaya felt herself growing slightly nervous. "How are you doing that?" she asked looking the Black Ranger over.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing." Dillon said lowly.
