Sup guys, thanks for the support and reviews. Justin/Kira is winning by a few good votes – so if anyone still wants Trent/Kira do so now, because after this chapter, I will decide – based on votes – who Kira will get with.
Disclaimer: I STILL don't own anything Power Ranger-wise except this Idea and maybe a new Ranger Power for DragonX. I also don't own anything related to the "Funky Fisherman" Show.
The Ranger Power will come into effect in the next chapter or the one after that.

Chapter 4: Havoc's Return and More Battles
This will be covering "It's a Mad Mad Mackerel" to "A Ranger Exclusive" and a few scenes not seen during this time period.
(Chapter Begin)
(Recap)
The Blue Ranger tried to help Wilson, but Ka-Ching trapped him in a pile of Coins. The other Abarangers showed up and assumed that Wilson did it.
"It wasn't Whacker, genius; it was the monster. WE GOTTA STOP HIM!" said/yelled the Blue Abaranger.
He Morphed and broke free of the Coin Pile. Ka-Ching barraged them with coins. The Red Ranger contemplated about how much money Ka-Ching was willing to give them.
"I see a bit of Conner in him, don't you?" asked Justin.
Conner was the only one not laughing at the joke. The Black Abaranger showed up with some BIG piggy banks. They caught as much money as they could before their banks got full. The Blue Ranger got an idea.
"NOW BATTING, NUMBER ONE – WHACKER WILSON!" he shouted.
"WHAT!?" exclaimed Wilson as he heard the familiar call of the line-up. The Blue Abaranger threw his bank at Whacker. Wilson got a fired up look in his eyes. He pulled off a FULL POWERED Tornado Swing and it caused Ka-Ching to lose some of his cognitive thinking. The Rangers formed the Z-rex Blaster and destroyed Ka-Ching. Conner cheered. Justin slipped a 20 to DragonX for losing the bet.
(Time Change)
Conner was finishing up his report while watching the end of the Abaranger Episode. Ethan and Kira found him like this. When they left 3 more teens rushed to watch the next episode. Justin decided to help out again during the rush. DragonX walked up to the kids.
"So, what do you think?" DragonX asked them.
"I'd like to be a ranger someday," said the first.
"Not before me," commented the second.
"What about me?" asked the third.
"Calm down guys. You never know – teenagers are always picked to be rangers, with a few exceptions. So, you might get picked to be the next generation of Power Rangers, but always remember this: You don't have to have power to be Power Rangers. You've just got to help others in need," said DragonX. He walked off and left the teens to their TV Show.
(Recap End)
Havoc had the T-drones and the revived Pirahnatrons constructing his new machine – this one more powerful than ever. Not even DragonX will be able to stop him now. He went over his plans again to make sure everything was on schedule.
Kira ran into the Café and spotted Conner and Ethan at the computer. She ran over to tell them about her internship.
"I got it! I got it! I got it! I got it!" screamed Kira, as if she won the
"Is it contagious?" asked Conner, only half-serious.
"Funny," deadpanned Kira.
Justin walked over, "Don't make fun of Kira. She has it rough as it is."
Kira blushed a bit. Conner apologized.
"I got an internship with Channel 3 and I'm in," informed Kira.
"Only 2 were accepted this year. Good going Kira," replied Kira.
"Thanks, I'm working on the set for 'The Funky Fisherman's Cartoon Cavalcade' starting today."
Ethan went on about how it's his favorite show – when he was a kid. He started singing the tune until Justin interrupted him.
"It's a little creepy to hear that from your mouth," said Justin, telling the truth.
(AN: Come on, even you guys gotta admit – it IS creepy)
Kira and Conner chuckled a little.
"Hey, I'll join ya. I'll just tell Hayley where I'm going to be," said Justin.
"I'll be waiting," replied Kira. She waited outside for Justin and they went to the Studio.
The "Funky Fisherman" was less than expected on the show. Justin pre-made the coffee to "Funky's" expectations.
"Pay attention to your friend, he'll teach everything you need to know about Studio Business," said Funky before he left.
"Do you know him?" asked Kira, turning to him.
"Only in passing. I got a part-time job at a different Studio and I met Funky one day. I overheard his coffee preference. He was a bit nicer and didn't count back then, wonder what happened to him."
(Time Change)
Kira just finished telling Justin about her encounter with Devin before a recording of the next episode of "The Funky Fisherman's Cartoon Cavalcade" began.
(Time Change)
Justin was helping Devin with the Security Cameras while Kira was separating the Green MM's when Elsa showed up. Justin slapped on a very small device DragonX gave him to cover the Morphing of Kira and Justin. Justin got Devin out of there without too much hassle.
"Ready?" asked Justin.
"Ready," replied Kira.
Justin: Shift into Turbo!
Kira: Dino Thunder – Power Up!
Justin: Mountain Blaster – Turbo Power!
Kira: Ptera Power!
They fought off the T-drones until Marty the Mackerel and Funky showed up. Funky got zapped into the TV set and Marty got captured before they could stop them. Justin helped Kira up. They powered down. Funky started ranting and counting.
"Let's call the others."
"Right."
Kira called Conner and Ethan up. They covered the set before heading to Dr. O's lab.
DragonX was seeing off the other Rangers. It was time to return to their Civilian lives. They came to help Tommy and they did it.
"Thanks for coming, guys. Stay sharp – you never know what may happen where you're going. Keep the morphers with you and use them when necessary. May the power protect you all," said DragonX, bidding the Originals farewell.
"I'll be back soon enough," said Kim.
The Original Rangers got on their flights and went back to their jobs. DragonX headed back to base.
DragonX made it back to base in time to see the Rangers break Mackerel's pole. The rangers showed up a few minutes later.
"Hayley, you got something?" asked Tommy.
"I think this might work to restore the Funny Fisherman back to normal," replied Hayley.
"That's 'FUNKY' Fisherman," corrected Funky.
"Whatever."
Hayley explained what needed to be done. Funky complained again about Marty. The Ethan and Kira reminded him about how much his Friendship with Marty should mean to him.
"We'll join you guys this time," said Justin.
"Ready?" asked Conner.
"Ready," came the joint reply.
Dino Rangers: Dino Thunder – Power Up.
Justin: Shift into Turbo!
Dx: White Ranger – Tiger Power!
Dino Rangers: Dino Power!
Justin: Mountain Blaster – Turbo Power!
Dx: White Tiger Power!
(Scene Change)
Mackerel was making another bad fish joke when the Rangers showed up. The Dino Rangers charged in. When they got knocked down, DragonX and Justin came in with their swords and were able to send Mackerel back.
"Everyone together!" shouted DragonX. The Dino Rangers fired their lasers; Justin fired his Hand Cannons, while DragonX had Saba fire his lasers. Mackerel decided to play the Hostage Card.
"What bait?" asked a knowing DragonX, who took the bait when Mackerel wasn't looking.
Mackerel looked in his hand and saw a hook connected to a note.
Note: Sorry – Try again.
"WHAT!" exclaimed a bewildered Mackerel. He turned to DragonX and fired. DragonX jumped out of the way, Tommy was behind him and redirected the blast to the TV set. Funky was freed; DragonX released the bait jar with everyone in it. The group left in a hurry seeing the fight.
"Try adding the Brachio Staff to the Z-Rex blaster. That should be enough to get Marty back," said DragonX.
The Dino Rangers fired the Z-Rex Blaster with Brachio attachment on the Mackerel. He grew. The Thundersaurus Megazord (fish-hook mode) and the Shogun-Falcon Megazord finished him off. Marty was freed. Funky made up with Marty and they were friends again.
Trent defeated Zeltrax in battle and returned to the base as 2nd in command.
Justin and the Dino Rangers watched as Funky and Marty did the "Happy Fish" Dance. Devin accidentally dropped the tapes with the fight earlier that day in the Fruit Punch.
"I guess those tapes got 'Punched'," said Justin, making a (bad – to those who think of it that way –) joke.
The Dino Rangers laughed at the joke.
"What did you put on the Security Camera earlier before the fight?" asked Kira, who was altogether curious.
"It was a device that provided a false recording of us bailing after the Yellow Dino and the Blue Turbo Rangers showed up out of nowhere and us returning after they left. Billy and I made it in case we needed it. Looks like we didn't need it after all," replied Justin.
They continued to watch the "Happy Dance."
It was the next afternoon. Ethan decided to volunteer to cover for Justin as he was with DragonX that day.
Justin and DragonX decided to visit the Mercer Mansion to talk with Anton and Trent. They got there as Trent finished "Wiping the Floor with the T-drones" again.
"I need some better competition," said Trent.
"How about another Ranger?" asked Justin, half-joking.
Trent quickly went into a defensive stance until he noticed it was Justin. Anton expressed his dislike for the change in Trent.
"The White Dino Gem is growing stronger, isn't it" said DragonX, only confirming what was true.
"Yeah, soon no one will be able to stop me. Maybe not even you, DragonX," said a cocky Trent.
"Don't get a big ego just because you can beat T-drones hundreds of times over."
"He's right. But it's not want I wanted. Mesogog wants that. We share the same mind, but I hate what he's done to you," said Anton.
"But you ARE Mesogog," said Trent, sounding confused.
"It wasn't by choice though," said DragonX.
Anton told of how he became Mesogog.
"Mesogog then proceeded to blow up the Island Anton and Tommy were working on. Tommy went on to Reefside High to teach and be ready for when Conner, Kira, and Ethan would become the Dino Rangers. He knew immediately from the moment he saw them together when he was taking over Detention duty," said DragonX, covering what happened in the first episode of the Dino Thunder series.
Trent expresses the plan to bring back the Dino Era. Anton told him it was Mesogog's plan, not his.
"This creature, Mesogog, has poisoned my mind. I never wanted this for you. You understand that?" he Anton asked Trent.
"Well, it's too late for that; isn't it, Dad?" said Trent, a bit angry.
Trent walked off. Justin went after him.
"The evil encoding is what's growing more powerful," stated DragonX.
"What can destroy it though?" asked Anton.
"Itself. Only a beam of it's own power can neutralize the evil encoding. I need to get going. I hope you can find your cure as well."
"Thanks, DragonX. That means a lot, coming from you."
Justin caught up with Trent, "Look, man – your father is only looking out for you."
"What would you know?" asked a bitter Trent.
"I lost MY father in the Countdown."
Everyone on Earth knew about the Countdown – as Angel Grove wasn't the only place struck. Trent, Conner (and his Twin), Kira, and Ethan were about 9-10 years old at the time, so their parents told them about how the Rangers saved people all over the Globe.
"Sorry, I didn't know," said Trent, realizing Justin had gone through a similar trauma as he did.
"Not as many people, or aliens, knew the truth about the Power Rangers as they do now. My dad was written off as another casualty. With the help of DragonX, I was able to emancipate as a minor and work various jobs over the years. I was recently working in Angel Grove until DragonX asked me to accompany him to the Power Chamber Ruins."
"That's what brought you here, huh."
Justin's morpher went off.
(Justin – Copyotter is battling the Rangers. They need help.)
"On it, ready?" asked Justin.
"For old times sake – ready," replied Trent.
Justin: Shift into Turbo!
Trent: White Ranger – Dino Power!
Justin: Mountain Blaster – Turbo Power!
Trent: Drago Power!
Copyotter just replicated Cassidy. Copyotter paled and sweatdropped.
"I will probably regret that," said a horrified Copyotter.
Trent and Justin attacked him.
"One of Zeltrax's freaks – maybe you'll be a challenge," said Trent, who was still eager for a challenge.
"You might want to leave before the others show up," informed Justin.
"Just the Ranger I was looking for," said Copyotter. He copied the Drago sword. He couldn't copy Justin's weapon however.
"Sorry, my weapons came with a 'No Copy' warranty on it," informed Justin.
Copyotter didn't care about Justin's weapon so much and disappeared in an invisiportal.
Devin was breaking down with each of the Cassidys being one step ahead of him.
Justin joined the Dino Rangers during the next fight. Conner came up with the backfire idea. It didn't work. Justin jumped in and attacked. Mesogog took Trent through an invisiportal. Tommy helped out Justin and the Dino Rangers.
DragonX snuck in Mesogog's lab as he watched Mesogog absorbed the White Dino Energy. Trent reached out to Anton and Anton took control long enough to free him. Trent ran out the door after promising not to tell the Dino Rangers. He met up with DragonX.
"Come on, Trent. Let's show that Otter how we do it – White Ranger style," said DragonX.
Trent morphed and rode the Drago ATV through the invisiportal. DragonX followed after morphing as well.
(Scene Change)
Even with Justin's help they weren't able to defeat Copyotter. Trent came in, blasting Copyotter with the Drago Lasers. He attacked with Drago speed, but Copyotter mimicked him. DragonX landed beside Trent.
"Take it to the next level, Dino Ranger," said DragonX.
"Gladly Tiger Ranger," said Trent, before shouting, "SUPER DINO MODE!!"
Trent powered up to Super Dino Mode. He and DragonX made short work of Copyotter. He grew to monstrous size. The Dino Rangers and Justin formed their respective Megazords to battle Copyotter.
Zeltrax arrived with an army of T-drones and Triptoids. Zeltrax quickly moved his way towards Tommy. Trent interfered and they both sent him running. DragonX handled the minions before walking over Trent and Tommy.
"Tommy, listen to him. I know he can be trusted," said DragonX.
Trent explained what happened and how the Evil Encoding was destroyed.
"Now you have a true protégé," said DragonX, making a bad joke reference to his first time as a Ranger. Tommy didn't laugh at the bad joke.
"Let's get back to base," he said.
Devin was nearly ballistic after seeing 4 Cassidys at once. He walked off. The Cassidy clones disappeared and everything was fine between them once more, well, after Devin threw away his glasses.
Trent was walking to the Zord bay. He was beginning to wash the Zords when Justin walked up. Justin and DragonX helped convincing the Dino Rangers to trust Trent.
"Coming to watch?" asked Trent, thinking Justin came down to make sure he did it.
"Actually, I came to help. I've had experience with Zords before, so I thought I'd help you out," replied Justin, giving a happy surprise to Trent.
"Thanks."
Justin and Trent washed the Zords, the Dino Rangers – except for Tommy and DragonX – being none the wiser.
With Trent and Justin helping out Hayley, she was able to catch up on work she left while trying to help the Rangers. Trent told Ethan to head on to the library and he'll join up later. Justin was able to cover for Trent while he went to help out the Dino Rangers.
DragonX waited back at the base with Tommy when the Rangers came in. Justin was finishing up at the café. They were talking about the Clone White Ranger.
"He's a threat alright," said Tommy.
Conner tried to blame Trent, but Tommy intervened. Tommy and Trent left.
"Guys, Trent's not responsible. Didn't you fight a cloning monster yesterday?" asked DragonX.
"Yeah, so?" asked Conner, not really getting it.
Justin walked in, "So, don't ya think Zeltrax may have used the Monster's ability to clone Trent's Ranger form?"
"More than likely – the Evil Encoding gets a 'New Body Experience' from this,"
(Time Change)
Conner rushed in from the Soccer Field. Kira came from a finished rehearsal.
"What's up?" asked Conner.
"Look for yourself," replied Ethan.
The Terrorsaurus was back.
"Guys, try to hold him off. If things get ugly, I'll send Justin to back you up," said DragonX.
The Dino Rangers morphed and left.
"Now, let's get to business," said DragonX as he typed in a search protocol.
"What are you looking for?"
"Yes, DragonX. What ARE you looking for?" asked Saba, confused.
"Tommy will go through his 'Trials' to get Super Dino Power. You will be needed to join with Tommy's remnant Ranger power in him. I'll need a new Energy source to access the Morphing grid with. There was one Dino Gem that Tommy missed. I'm trying to find it," replied DragonX.
"I'm not that bad, am I?" asked Saba, hoping that it wasn't his fault.
"It's not you; it's me really. The White Tiger power was meant for Tommy and I can't change that, not even ZORDON can change that. I am able to handle the power, but only with Tommy can it be used to its fullest extent."
The Terrorsaurus took their Zords.
"Justin, get out there. I can handle things on this end," said DragonX.
Justin morphed and joined the Dino Rangers. The Triassic Shield sent out a pulse of Energy. It revealed the general location of the missing gem.
Justin helped as best he could, but it wasn't enough to defeat the Terrorsaurus.
The next pulse sent out from the Shield gave the exact coordinates for the Gem. Tommy brought the Shield in with Trent. Trent went to relax while Tommy gave his Dino Energy to the Shield.
"What are you doing, DragonX?" asked Tommy.
"There's a missing Gem out there. I need to find it before Mesogog does," came the response.
Justin was de-morphed and worn out, left to watch the Dino Rangers get beat up. Tommy used the Shield to save them. He gave it to Conner. Justin went to help Kira up after Conner became the Triassic Ranger. Tommy helped up Ethan. Conner was able to completely destroy the Terrorsaurus as the Triassic Ranger.
After Conner left to make amends with Alexi at the soccer field. DragonX was talking to the others back at the base.
"Good job guys," said DragonX.
"Yeah, we can take SOME punishment," said Ethan, sarcastically.
"Where were YOU, DragonX?" asked Kira, out of curiosity.
"I had some important business to handle. It is crucial in our fight against Mesogog," DragonX replied.
"He's right, guys. He told me what it was and it was crucial," agreed Tommy.
"It could only be done while the Triassic Shield was first active," informed DragonX.
"It's late guys; go get some sleep," suggested Tommy.
Ethan and Kira left for their respective homes. Justin and DragonX headed upstairs for some sleep as well. Tommy sighed.
"Don't worry, Tommy. You'll get out of this suit soon enough," said Brachio, trying to provide comfort.
(AN: Yes, I remembered Brachio.)
"It's not that, its just Kim left again. I don't know if I can handle not seeing her for another 10 years," said Tommy. He went up to his room to find a letter stashed under his pillow.
Letter:
Dear Tommy,
I'm sorry I left without saying anything, but DragonX told me I had to return to training. I'm glad your safe and I know you'll be able to de-morph again real soon. I know you, you wouldn't let something like this stop you. My REAL reason for writing this letter is to say what I never had the guts to say before: I love you Thomas Oliver. I always will. I understand if you don't feel the same way after all these years, I wasn't exactly truthful in my last letter. I'm sorry for not telling you the truth. I hope to see you again real soon, Tiger. I'll be waiting for you this time.
Love,
Kimberly Hart.
Tommy fainted on the bed.
Brachio sighed and decided to get some rest as well. The next few weeks will be trying ones.
It was the next day. Justin was taking over the café while Trent went to the store. Kira tried to contact Conner and Ethan, but they were busy. Tommy was still knocked out from the news in the letter. Kira walked in and sat down at a computer. Justin came over with an Apple Juice.
"Bad day?" asked Justin.
Kira explained the situation. She enjoyed the juice.
(AN: NO, it's not drugged or anything like that, those of you who would even think Justin, or someone else, would do that to Kira. I'm the author and I'm not having that in MY Fic.)
"I say go for it. The experience might be good for you. If you don't like it, then try elsewhere. You'll be a star someday; I know it," comforted Justin.
"Thanks Justin," replied Kira. She kissed him on the cheek and ran out the café. Cassidy came over to use the Computer. Justin returned to the counter with a small blush on his face.
Trent came back and covered for Justin while he went with Storm Blaster (AN: You thought I forgot about him didn't you.) to meet Conner and Ethan at the supply company. He got there just as Ethan was signing the paper form.
"Guys, over here," shouted Justin, getting their attention.
Conner and Ethan met Justin halfway with the box. T-drones appeared. The custodian ran off in a hurry.
"I'll get the box on Storm Blaster! You hold them off!" said Justin, coming up with a good plan.
Justin carried the box by himself while Conner and Ethan held off the T-drones. Justin helped them while Storm Blaster got out of there with the part. He activated the hologram that Justin installed a few years back so there wouldn't be questions as to a driverless vehicle. Justin arrived with Conner and Ethan a few minutes later. Kira called Justin while Conner and Ethan got the Part downstairs to Hayley. Justin told Kira to wait and see what the others think of remix and decide then.
Havoc's machine was nearing completion. He knew that DragonX couldn't stop him this time.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Mesogog will be pleased with this machine," laughed Havoc, evilly.
DragonX was waiting with 3 little girls for Kira to come out.
"Okay, go over and compliment that girl over there. Ask for her autograph,"
"Do we HAVE to?" asked one of the girls.
"She looks weird," said another.
"I'll pay you 20 bucks each when you get back," bribed DragonX. The girls quickly agreed and ran over to ask for Kira's autograph. This encouraged Kira to make the video before returning to the guys. DragonX paid the girls and they headed home.
"Sorry, Kira. I had to do it," said DragonX.
(AN: I just didn't think the girls did it out of the goodness of their hearts, even on set, so I went with this.)
DragonX returned to the others a few minutes before Kira came in.
"Kira, where have you been?" asked Ethan, as if Kira didn't try to call them earlier.
"Yeah, you should check in every once in a while," said an obnoxious Conner.
DragonX took them by their short hair and bonked their heads together. Conner and Ethan winced.
"Okay, 'hypocrites', dial it down," ordered DragonX.
"What's wrong?" asked Justin.
Kira asked for their honest opinion on her CD. Only Conner was willing to do so. Justin wanted it to be her decision and DragonX knew what that decision was.
"It's just not you," said Conner, truthfully.
"I knew it," said a depressed Kira.
"Hey, the REAL you will be better anyways. You don't need a professional to do something you can do yourself," consoled Justin.
The alarm went off. Zeltrax's newest creation left his repaired ship. Justin went with the Dino Rangers to try and stop the machine. DragonX helped Hayley power the Mezodon Rover for Conner. The Rover was able to defeat Zeltrax's machine while Tommy defeated Zeltrax.
Justin watched as Kira made her video with Trent taping. DragonX joined them as they got through.
"See, you didn't need a fancy manager to bring out your best," said Justin.
"Kira, you may yet be famous. You just have to be patient and try the right places" said DragonX, with wisdom.
"AND have the right people," interjected Trent.
They laughed as they made their way home.
Justin was riding in Storm Blaster around town. He was finally getting to actually explore the City. The Rangers were handling a Satellite problem. DragonX and Trent were at the Cyber Café. Trent was working as usual.
"So, Trent. Your dad making any head way on fixing his problem?" asked DragonX, as he was sitting at a table.
"Not really. He's trying a few different things, but no results yet," said Trent. He got back to work. Kira and Ethan came in and talked about Cassidy. Ethan convinced Kira to give Cassidy a chance.
DragonX was waiting for Kira to show up with the T-drones ahead of her. He helped her fight them off. Jupitor arrived a few minutes later outside. Havoc showed up in his new Machine.
(DragonX, let's see you handle my new machine,) said Havoc, calling out DragonX.
DragonX jumped out of the way of being squashed.
"You up for another round, Saba?" asked DragonX.
"Let's show him what we're made of," said Saba.
DragonX: White Ranger – Tiger Power!
DragonX morphed.
Dx: White Tiger Thunderzord Power – NOW!
The White Tigerzord came running out of the dimensional pocket.
"Guys, I could use some help up here."
The Thundersaurus Megazord and the Turbo Megazord came in. The White Tigerzord converted into Warrior Mode.
"You won't stop me!" shouted Havoc.
"We'll see about that! MEGA-THUNDERBOLT!"
The blast hardly phased the machine.
"Uh-oh. We might be in trouble," said Justin, feeling less confident now.
Conner: Ankylozord!
Dino Rangers: Double Drill Attack!
Justin: Spin-out!
The combined attack didn't do much more than the last attack. Havoc blasted them back.
"I TOLD you! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" shouted Havoc before he left after seeing the Satellite started its transmission. Hayley called.
(Guys, that beam is heading to Jupiter! I've readjusted the power transfer for the Triassic Shield – this should allow Ethan and Kira to stay morphed afterwards,) contacted Hayley.
(Trent's on his way. Conner, you handle the White Ranger Clone. Ethan and Kira join Trent inside and see what you can do there,) continued Tommy.
They sent the Zords back and met up with Trent and the White Ranger Clone. Havoc appeared.
"He's mine!"
"I'm right with you!" said Justin.
Justin and DragonX charged Havoc. Havoc matched DragonX and Justin strike for strike. Havoc gained the Advantage by blasting Justin back, de-morphing him.
"You'll pay for that!"
"Oh, I highly doubt that," said Havoc.
DragonX proved him wrong by moving quicker than ever. He regained the Advantage and was able to make Havoc retreat.
"You won't stop the Satellite in time," said Havoc He disappeared. DragonX de-morphed and got to Justin.
"You OK?" he asked.
"I'm fine," said Justin.
They watched Conner take down Jupitor. They noticed Devin filming.
"Red Ranger is mastering the Triassic Power quite well; don't you think?" he asked, to keep the Dino Rangers Identities safe.
"The trick will be mastering the next stage," said Justin, who caught on as to what DragonX was doing.
They walked over to Cassidy and Devin.
"You finally got the scoop worthy of your dreams, huh?" asked Justin, already knowing the answer.
"I'll say. This is the first step for my career, and it's all thanks to Kira," said Cassidy, in a happy mood.
"Let's get inside before something else happens," said Devin, who already had his bad share of mishaps. Cassidy and Devin ran inside. The others came up, de-morphed.
"What was that about?" asked Conner.
"You guys are making Cassidy's day," informed Justin.
"What story did she get?" asked Kira, seeing as how she was just starting to not hate Cassidy so much.
"Just you guys doing what you do best. Let's get inside if we don't want to miss Cassidy's big break," said DragonX. They headed inside.
Cassidy's live speech went off without a hitch. Cassidy thanked Kira for the chance of a lifetime.
"Cassidy will come around. She just needs REAL friends. That and Devin will really turn her around for the better," said DragonX.
They walked off the set and returned to Tommy's house.
Tommy was waiting for them as they entered.
"Good job, guys," said Tommy.
"Thanks, Dr. O," said Trent.
"Havoc is now more powerful than ever," said Justin.
"We'll take him down. We just need to get stronger," said Conner, actually proving to be right for once.
"Your right, but there's nothing we can do now," said Kira.
"Head on home, guys. You'll need your strength for tomorrow," said DragonX.
"No lie," said Ethan.
The Dino Rangers left. Hayley already left to close the Café.
"I found the place where the Gem you were looking for is. Many traps guard it – are you sure you're up for it?" asked Tommy.
"I'll have to; otherwise I can't morph again," said DragonX.
"Why DO you have give Saba back?"
"It's the only way for you to finish the Trials," said Saba.
"Speaking of which – what ARE these Trials?" asked Justin.
"That's something Tommy needs to figure out for himself, and if he decides, he can tell you or not," said DragonX. He went upstairs with that.
"I don't know, but I'll try to ask Saba about it tonight," said Brachio.
"You do that. Justin, Let's get some sleep. We need our strength as well," said Tommy.
"Sure, Tommy. And, by the way – after all this is over – invite Kim back for prom in the spring. I'm sure she'll be delighted to be there," teased Justin.
Tommy was never more grateful for having a helmet on to hide his blush. Justin rushed up the stairs before Tommy got him. Tommy sighed. He went to bed thinking about how he and Kimberly were going to have a relationship after this is all over.
