A/N: Before you start crediting me for this…don't. This is Bella Vision's work and idea. I'm just the messenger carrying out the plot she's described before me. As such, I am warning you that this will be VERY, VERY different from Power Ranger canon, especially Dino Thunder.

A/N 2: For instance as you will see, in this story Tommy Oliver was NOT a Dino Thunder Power Ranger as a matter of fact while he lives in the town he doesn't even know who the Rangers are even though he's seen them on TV. Instead, one William Cranston is in his place as the leader of that team. I won't go too much further into this but suffice to say there will be other differences as the story goes along.

A/N 3: I own absolutely, positively NOTHING

Chapter 3 – Regrouping

A few hours after the first battle

Billy and Hayley's home

Reefside, CA

Billy and Conner pulled into his driveway…and to their shock they found the place totally filled up. They noticed most of the same cars were there so they figured that the teams who were also present at that first ass-kicking had taken the initiative and gotten out as fast as they could

They were even more surprised when they got out and walked through the garage and into the house and saw every single one of Zordon's Rangers there waiting for them in the kitchen. What was surprising to Billy was that no one was in a talking mood. It was a reunion, sure, and all the teams were supposed to meet up afterwards but they were supposed to do it in Angel Grove not here.

Billy looked at Jason, who was digging into a slice of one of the myriad number of pizzas that had been ordered before-hand – by Rocky, of course, who else – and he didn't like the look on Jason's face. He'd seen the look many times before and didn't like it one bit.

"How is he?" Billy said.

"Pretty angry," Jason said. "I think he knows who is behind that mask and he's hurt both emotionally and spiritually. You're lucky you weren't here about 30 minutes ago."

Billy's heart sank. They were supposed to be back together right now and yet Mesogog – that damned Mesogog had stolen Tommy's soulmate right from under their noses. It made him ill to the core and he went to sit out back – he didn't feel like talking to anyone.

Meanwhile…

"Haha…so are these supposed to be the guys to destroy ME?" the girl giggled unmercifully. "These guys are falling apart at the seams! All I did was attack one little time!"

"We ssssshould continue to put pressssssure on them, my liege," Mesogog hissed.

"Yes, I agree," the girl said. "Let's keep them down while we have them down. And I know just how to do it."

"Do you need help?" Mesogog asked.

"No. I can handle this," Kim said and teleported out.

Back in Reefside…

It was lucky that none of the other Rangers were around as Tommy had stepped outside for a few minutes

If temper tantrums could be measured in hurricanes, this one would have easily been a category four, maybe even in upwards of the devastating category five because at the moment, there was no way Tommy Oliver could be consoled.

He was finding everything that he was able to pick up – rocks, boulders, sticks, etc. and was just throwing them at a tree like there was no tomorrow. When he'd finally tired of that, he punched the trunk of the tree about five times which left some blood. Finally, when he could do no more, he sat down and just completely wept.

He had it stolen from him – again. He and Kim had just started re-convening with each other and he'd planned on getting her back fully today. She should have been right there in his arms, damn it!

Instead here he was, acting like a five year old. But he really didn't care about that – not when the most important thing in his life ever had been ripped away from him – again. Part of him wished he could just end his life right then and there but he knew he couldn't do that.

He was so lost in the drowning of his own tears that he didn't even notice the two figures who had suddenly appeared right behind him.

The first one – the woman in the green bikini, looked at the second one, a blue robotic figure with understandable concern on her face.

Tommy never noticed them both until the woman in the green bikini said, "I must say I am extremely disappointed in your behavior, White Falcon."

Tommy turned around and looked on in shock. But his tears did not subside.

"Who cares how bad my actions are?" he wailed not only to the two figures before him, but to the world at large. "Who are you to tell me how I should feel, Dulcea?"

"I was the one that saved you and your teammates from Ivan Ooze, White Falcon," Dulcea reminded him firmly. "And I can just as easily break you as I can make you. You of all people should know that."

"You're not being a real help either coming in and acting like this," he said through his tears.

Ninjor looked at Dulcea sharply as if to say, "I'll take care of this. Don't say another word to him."

Tommy looked at Ninjor and Ninjor looked at him back.

"I am sorry she just spoke to you like that. It was extremely out of line," Ninjor said as Dulcea shook her head vehemently. "I more than any other person know how you feel, White Falcon, because I lost the person most important to me in a way even worse than you have."

Tommy looked at Ninjor and knew he wasn't lying, but as he heard Ninjor tell the story of how he'd lost the person he was closest to. Tommy began to cry but looked out of the corner of his eye and saw Dulcea's face stay exactly the same. Finally, he had enough and he turned and super-kicked Dulcea in the chin. Ninjor wondered if Tommy had lost his mind for a brief moment but suddenly, 'Dulcea' transformed into none other than Kimberly, who had a malicious glint in her eyes. Kimberly or not, Tommy was furious.

"Let's get her!" Tommy shouted and glared at Kimberly, who was un-morphed, as he and Ninjor took up defensive stances. Kimberly prepared to morph but before she could she was suddenly struck from behind by an owl, a shot which cut her open on her left arm. When the figure subsided, the real Dulcea stood there, ready for action.

"Despicable, vile traitor!" Dulcea shouted – she didn't care if Kimberly had the power of the Crane previously, the real Dulcea was absolutely furious. "You will pay for everything you have done!"

"And just what can you do to stop me, old woman?" Kimberly sneered. "I could take all three of you on at once but I think I'll have some of my friends do it!"

With a wave of her hand, Tengas appeared, dozens and dozens of them.

"Do your worst," Kimberly smirked and stepped back to watch. It took twenty minutes for the Tengas to be vanquished but they were sent packing.

By this time, no one had noticed that Kimberly had morphed and gone invisible – and she was preparing for a devastating attack on Tommy when all of a sudden from out of nowhere a black boot came and superkicked her out of invisibility. Kimberly was furious as she saw the five Dino Thunder Rangers rushing towards the site.

"You're outnumbered now!" Billy taunted.

"For once, you get something right, Black Ranger," Kimberly scoffed, "I am outnumbered. That's why now's a good time to take my leave. Too bad my little disguise didn't work, but I will be back. Catch ya on the flipside."

Kimberly and the Tengas disappeared, and the Rangers new and old stared in shock at who was standing on either side of Tommy

They were also shocked to see Dulcea this mad, she had never been so angry before. Even Adam, who was always secretly in love with Dulcea before he married Tanya, stepped back frightened as he saw both Tommy and Dulcea seething until they both found each other's embrace.

"I feel your loss, White Falcon, because I lost my true love in the same way you have. I also never got him back. That's why I'm so angry at Kimberly right now. However, there is a way to bring her back to our side."

"How?" Tommy said. "Mesogog's hold on her is almost impenetrable."

"It is a powerful hold but I can already sense his hold on her is beginning to crack. We just have to hold their forces at bay until she comes back to us."

"And just how are we going to do that?" Andros snapped. "You saw how easily she disposed of the five Dino Thunder Rangers."

"Watch your tongue, Kerovian," Dulcea said softly but firmly. "It's a little surprise we've been saving for this moment. Follow me to Billy's lab and I will reveal some surprises."

30 minutes later…

Finally, everyone was seated in Billy's lab and the omnipotent items in the room were two boxes that were laying there on the main console. The Rangers knew something was up with those boxes…it was just what was in them that counted.

"I would like to introduce to all of you first of all, the woman who is responsible for the first surprise of the evening," Ninjor said. "I know that some in this room aren't all fond of her but she is responsible for this surprise. Please give a warm welcome to Dimitria of Inquiris."

The Rangers stared in shock as the former mentor of the two Turbo teams stepped into view.

"Hello once again, Rangers," Dimitria said. "I know not all of you in this room are fond of me and that is my fault. I have my crosses to bear and I realized that after the first Turbo team left."

Tommy nodded as well as the first five Turbo Rangers.

"That said, I am here tonight to make a special presentation. Billy would you do the honors?"

Billy stepped forward carefully but Dimitria said, "Don't worry, it won't hurt to open it."

Billy opened the box and to the Rangers shock…there lay the Turbo Morphers and Keys!

The Rangers wordlessly stared in shock as Dulcea said, "She has taken care of the Turbo Morphers ever since Divatox destroyed the Power Chamber all those years ago. She calls it her mission in life now as a way to make up for everything she did when she first came. She has been looking for a way to have them recharged for such a situation and she was able to get that done a short while ago."

"Just in time too," Tommy said, nodding approvingly. "Now the question is, who will they pick."

Tommy knew he was the top candidate for one of the Turbo Powers since he'd held one so he walked over to the Red Morpher and picked it up and surprisingly it didn't do anything. Rocky then tried it and came up with nothing.

Tommy looked at Jason as if to say, 'You think?'

Jason looked at him as if to say, 'Only one way to find out.'

He walked up to the Red Turbo Morpher, picked it up and immediately was thrown back as the power was infused into him and he barely caught the wall.

When it was all done, there stood a brand new Red Turbo Ranger.

"This is absolutely incredible," Jason said. "I feel so much more powerful than I did in gold…that just didn't seem right."

"Use my baby well, Jason," T.J. said. "Red Lightning means so much to me. Take care of it."

"You know you can count on me, TJ," Jason said.

While this exchange was going on, nobody saw Adam walk up and attempt to touch the green turbo morpher…and nothing happened. No one noticed until Adam shook his head and pointed at Zack.

"You think?" Zack said as he walked up and touched the morpher and key himself and he too was almost thrown back by the backlash of power but he kept his feet…as expected. When the green light subsided, Zack stood by Jason the new Green Turbo Ranger.

"Just like old times," Jason said. "Me as the leader, Zack as the number two."

"Zachary, you will now control the powers of Desert Thunder. Use it well," Dimitria advised.

A number of people tried to take the blue turbo morpher but nothing happened. Justin, Adam, Rocky all tried it but nothing happened. Then they all looked at one person.

"It can't be," Billy said. "I'm already the leader of this team."

"It is possible for someone to be chosen for a second power while they have the first," Dimitria said. "It is rare, but it has happened."

Billy shook his head as if to look confused himself as he walked up to the blue turbo morpher and to his absolute shock, he too was filled with the power and became the blue turbo Ranger.

Before Billy could say anything, Justin spoke up, "I'll do it."

"Justin you can't!" Tommy said. "Billy's the leader of that team."

"But he can try, White Falcon. He's basically a younger version of Billy and he might provide a little different perspective seeing as he is their age," Dimitria said.

Justin nodded and went to touch the black dino gem and to his surprise the power bonded with him almost immediately as the Rangers stared speechless.

"I will provide you with all the help you need," Billy said. "You can count on me."

"Thanks," Justin said.

"Billy, you now control the power of Mountain Blaster," Dimitria said.

Tanya then went up to try for the yellow Turbo Power which was previously hers but it wouldn't bond to her. Neither would Trini's attempt when she tried nor would Kat's attempt.

Tanya looked at Aisha as if to say, "your turn." Aisha nodded and went up to touch the yellow turbo morpher and key and before you knew it there was a fourth Turbo Ranger standing in the room as Dimitria told her she would control Dune Star.

The final one was academic as for once, the first time worked as Katherine immediately became the Pink Turbo Ranger once again.

"Good luck, Rangers. May the Power protect you all," Dimitria said as she left.

Meanwhile…

"I should have had them beat this time," Kimberly said. "Stupid Tommy had to go ruin my surprise."

"I think you ssssssshould take one of them out," Mesogog said. "And I think I know who you should take out."

Mesogog pointed a finger at a small telescope and Kim saw a figure inside of it and said, "Yes that will do quite nicely. Once I have her powers I will be unstoppable."

Back in Reefside…

"And now, to reveal our second surprise," Ninjor said as he stepped up to the second box and opened it. He opened it and the Rangers immediately converged on the box to find…

TBC…
