Green Again,

Chapter 1: Detention / Day of the Dino

By: Raithe Kael

Power Rangers is owned by well a multitude of companies and I am not one of them.

Authors Note: At this point I am not making as much of a point to check constantly on making sure I am following Canon Dino thunder as this is AU. Also I was admittedly never a big fan of the dino eggs so I am not sure exactly how I plan to handle zords I am thinking something similar to the Ninjetti concept by having the zords directly linked to and generated by the powers of the rangers. As to my first two reviewers I probably wouldn't have written another chapter if I had gotten such feedback so quickly.

-The Next Day-

Randall and three of the students from his science class. "Is this is it Ms Randall." She replies slowly and in a rather cold tone of voice, "Yes, and I expect you to make their detention as unpleasant as possible". "Not a Problem I intend to have them help me with some research over at the Museum and if there is anything students hate it is more work", states Tommy as he glances at the three and gives them a wink. "Well I'll leave you with them then Dr. Oliver the late bus leaves at 4:30 I'd suggest you have them back by then lest you have to drive them home yourself." Dr. Oliver nods and then as Principle Randall walks away turns to the others, "Well let's head out and get..." As Conner loudly interrupts, "I am missing soccer can't we do this another day or something." Ethan quickly adds on "Yea I need to head over to that new Cybercafé and try this new online game that came out." Kira sighs and looks at the other two, "I just do not want to be stuck with a jock and a geek all day."

Tommy chuckles as he recalls his mismatched group of friends. Jason the Red Ranger and probably as big of a jock as it comes when it came to Karate well second to him at the least. Then you have Billy probably could run circles around Ethan in techno babble but not too sure about the video game thing. Billy never really seemed to give them any time. Then you had Trini and Kim and heck Zack all three of them seemed to share something in common with Kira. A bit of Kim's fashion sense minus the pink, Trini's color and some of her attitude, and Zack's love of music minus the style and questionable dancing ability. "Ms Ford, you may find that the others are not that hard to get along with as you think, after all it takes all kinds to make up a team. Right Mr. McKnight." To which Conner witlessly replies, "Yeah whatever can we just get this over with and call me by my first name." Kira chimes in, "Yeah same here sounds like you talking to my mother or something." The conversation continues as they walk over to Tommy's jeep. "Just hop in this is better than sitting in a class room doing busy work besides I thought everyone loved dinosaurs." They all pile into the rather small vehicle with Kira in the front and the two boys in the back seat. As they drive to their destination a black clad female figure looks around the corner and disappears in a swirl of green light.

-At the Museum 20 Minutes Later-

The jeep carrying the former power ranger and his students pull into the museums parking lot. As they arrive the first thing Ethan notices is the giant T-Rex outside, "Whoa Cool that wasn't here a few months ago" Tommy looks at it for a second as well "Heck that wasn't here two days ago, something odd is going on here. Wait here for a second." As he gets out of the jeep he tosses his white Lab style coat back in the jeep revealing a dark green tank top and he walks up to the door of the museum. He reads the message on the door

-Under New Management- Mercer Industries

(I did not know the name off hand and oddly enough without watching the episode I couldn't find my answer online)

"Hey Guy's go look around the grounds you might find something interesting near a museum like this, I need to make a phone call" Tommy pulls out his cell phone as something else round and gold color drops out his pocket. He bends over and slips it back into his pocket as he proceeds to dial. Meanwhile the soon to be rangers head off into the woods by the Museum looking around. Kira looks at the other two "Well at least we don't have to look..." The ground gives out under them as Kira screams loudly falling into a dimly lit tunnel. Conner hits the ground first followed by Ethan and then Kira lands on them both. Ethan groans "Kira could you get offa me", Conner adds on, "Could BOTH of you get off of me." They scramble to their feet getting out of the dog pile. As they make their way through the tunnel bickering about which way they should go whenever they come to an intersection. Eventually they make their way to the a brightly lit lab and Ethan is the first to comment, "Wow this is like something out of Doom or something"

As they look around the lab Kira bumps into a button raising the cover off of the pedestal in the middle of the room. On the pedestal is three gems one yellow one red and one blue, "Hey you two come look at this" Conner and Ethan walk about and of course Conner has something witless to say, "Cool What are they made of plastic" Ethan reaches out and picks up the blue one squeezing it a few times then tapping it, "I don't think so." Kira and Conner each reach out and pick up a gem, Red for Conner and Yellow for Kira, "Well I think we should put these..." All of a sudden the ground shakes, "Lets get out of here." They run out of the room as a few rocks fall in the tunnel they came through forgetting all about the gems they slipped into their pockets as they ran.

-Topside by the Museum-

The Large T-Rex statue turns out to be a T-Rex Robot and it roars as it comes to life. Tommy drops his cell phone and pulls out a half assembled morpher the basic form is there but none of the outer casing or a power coin. He grabs the dragon coin out of his pocket and slams into the morpher as the dinobot stops the ground beside him sending him and the morpher flying in different directions. The other foot comes down nearly crushing Tommy as he rolls out from underneath it and a few feet closer to his morpher. Reaching for his morpher he finds it still too far away as the robots giant well armed mouth comes down and nearly takes his arm off as he leaps off the ground landing on his feet only missing the sharp metallic teeth by only inches. Diving to the side to evade another attempt at eating the science professor, Tommy dives into a roll grabbing the morpher and coming back up on his feet. As dorky as it seems old habits die hard. "It's Morphing Time!" DRAGONZORD! Several sparks of green energy arch from the morpher and up Tommy's arm the suit of the green ranger failing to form.

If you already read chapter one before this most you may want to check back I added a bit to the end. Also I am still debating what to do about the Black Dino Gem I am thinking I will end up having the dino gem be damaged but use what is left of it to merge with the dragon coin. Just imagine instead of Brachio Staff, dual wielding a Dragon Dagger and Dragon Katana
