Chapter 4: Dino Zeo

They trugged on there way to the Command Center slow. With their cars now destroyed and Jason badly wounded, to the point where Adam and Tommy had to help him walk. They continued walking until eventually the silence was broken when the scanner in Billy's pocket went off. They stop as Billy pulls the device from his pocket.

"It seems that we've arrived at the point of origin of the energy signature." Billy said looking the device over.

Tommy sat Jason down on a large stone. "So the energy isn't coming from the Command Center itself?"

"It doesn't seem to. Most likely it is a secret corrador of the Command Center."

"Does it show where we have to go to find it?"

"I can maximize the frequancy and set it on short range. If the frequancy amplification doesn't overload the scanner we could theoretically us it to walk right up to the front door."

Billy ajusted the settings on the devaice then started to walk slowly listening to slow beaping sound waiting for it to beat faster. As Billy walked closer to the mountain side when his scanner started to beap more rapidly.

The group joined Billy with Jason leaning on Tommy as they caught up with them. Billy found a cavern enterance in the side of the mountain.

"The signal seems to be coming from inside here."

They start to head slowly into the darkness of the cavern following the scanner as it beaped on. When they had reached the end of the cavern they found an enormous sliding metal doors, much like the ones in the Command Center years ago.

"Looks like we found it guys." Tommy said putting his hand on the door.

Without any warning the doors slid out as Tommy jumps back. Inside there was not a room but a fog of green smoke filling the enterance.

"What the heck is that?" Kira said stepping forward to get a better look.

"It looks like a Portal Gate, like the one we passed through once before." Billy said as he swiped his hand threw the smog.

"But where does it go?" Kira questioned.

Tommy stepped forward. "I guess there's only one way to find out."

He looked at his friends first before slowly taking a step into the fog, and once he disappeared into the smoke the others follows. The doors slid closed as they vanished into the room.

Goldar walks into the control room of Serpent Tera.

"Goldar... I don't think I ask too much of you... And yet you still manage to disappoint me! How is it that you a creature that I have given overwhelming power to can still be beaten by a bunch of powerless humans?!" Zed shouted as he stopped toward Goldar.

"One of them was still able to morph, my Lord!" Goldar said cringing in fear.

"What is one ranger when put against the powers I've given you?"

"But I did manage to scare one away and viciously injury another."

"Wills can be remade, wounds can be healed. I don't want them scared and injured, I want them dead! And now, NOW, they have vanished off our monitors!"

"My Lord, I will fix this, I swear." Goldar said pleading for another chance.

Zed composed himself and stepped back and turned away from Goldar.

"Goldar, why did I kill Rita?"

"Because she out lived her usefullness.." He replied uncomfortably.

Zed stood quietly for a moment. "Exactly, and do you know what Goldar?"

"What is it, my Lord?"

He turned suddenly swinging his staff at Goldar turning Goldar into ash with a burst of energy.

"You have out lived your usefullness..."

Zed walks over to the control chair and taking a seat.

"I have more reliable help now. I think it's about time I let my new friends say.. hello"

Zed punchs a few buttons on the board as Serpent Tera made it's decent down to Earth.

The doors of a darkened room slide open as the Rangers step out into the room. The lights switch on one by one as the room becomes visible. The room was filled with futuristic or alien technology, and in the center of the room stood six metal cylinders.

Billy looks at his device as he circles the cylinders. "It looks like the energy signatures are coming from these."

He put the device on the counter behind him then tries to open of of the cylinders.

"Intruder! Intruder! Ai! Yi! Yi! Yi! Yi! Intruder!"

They turn to the back corner suddenly as a short red and gold robot lumbers out toward the six metal cylinders holding a wrench.

"Back away from the morphers or.. or... Ai! Yi! Yi! Yi! Yi!"

Trini stepped from of it and puts her hands on it's shoulders. "Alpha! Alpha Five. It's us. Calm down."

Alpha stops and looks up to her. "Alpha Five? That designation was for a former model, I am Alpha Six. You are Trini, the yellow ranger. Ai! Yi! Yi! Yi! Yi! Rangers! You're back! Thank Zordon you're back!"

Everyone hugs Alpha as Billy speaks up. "We located the energy signatures being emitted from the metal cylinders and we found our ways here."

"Zed found the energy signature too." Kira said helping Jason sit down.

"Ai! Yi! Yi! Zed is back?! I knew there was a reason I was brought back online." Alpha says walking over to Jason to heal his injury.

"What do you mean Alpha? What is this place?" Adam said.

Alpha finished healing Jason's wound with a beam.

"Long ago, Zordon knew that someday there would be an evil not even the present Power Rangers could conquer. So when Goldar and Rito destroyed the Command Center Zordon began to take steps for the future. After you had found the Zeo gem and the Command Center was destroyed you that you had lost your powers. But in reality, Zordon had reclaimed the energy from all of your power coins. When Alpha Five made the Zeo morphers he had only filled the morphers with fifty percent of the energy. In doing so he and Zordon had enough power to make these."

He went over to a control panel and pushed a button opening the cylinders revealing six new morphers. They had the same shape and style as their old morphers from so very long ago, except each morpher had a different color. Alpha walks over to the first morpher and picks it up. In the center was the the Tyranosaur power coin, the top part of the morpher was red on the bottom was gold.

"When you were the Gold Ranger your power was inside your DNA. Alpha Five used the many blood samples he to took to extract that energy and combine it with your power coin to made this morpher. Jason the Dino Zeo Red morpher is now yours."

He hands the morpher to Jason and moves to the next one.

"Though you refused the Blue Zeo power at first but now I believe it is time for u to embrace it. Billy the Dino Zeo Blue morpher is now yours."

The morpher had a Triseratops power coin in the center, the top of the morpher was blue and the bottom was white.

"Your's, Adam, was actually a bit tricky. Trying to combine two energies from two different spectrums but it seems the black spectrum overcomes the other. Adam the Dino Zeo Black morpher is now yours."

The morpher had a Mammoth power coin in the center, the top of the morpher was black and the bottom was white.

"Trini, the Dino Zeo Yellow morpher is now yours."

The morpher had a Sabertooth Tiger power coin in the center, the top of the morpher was yellow and the bottom was white.

"Thank you, Alpha"

"Tommy, as the leader of the your morpher was nearly impossible to create. Combining the last of your Green Ranger energy and your White Ranger energy was quite a bit more than complicated. Balancing the dark power of the Green Ranger given to you by Rita Repulsa and the light power of the White Ranger given to you by Zordon. Anyone of those powers out weighed the Zeo power you once possessed. Tommy the White Dragon morpher is now yours."

The morpher had a Dragon power coin in the center, the top of the morpher was white and the bottom was green.

"And Kimberly... Where's Kimberly?"

"Um... She isn't here..." Adam said.

"She gave up on us." Tommy said looking down.

"But then who will take the Dino Zeo Pink morphers?"

There was a group silence when Kira stepped out from behind everyone.

"Me."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Kira. I'm a Power Ranger."

"Yeah, Kira's perfect for the this. She has proven herself time and time again to be worthy of the Pterazord." Tommy said putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah, and none of us would be here now without her." Jason said putting his hand on her other shoulder.

"For someone to have proven themselves so fully I am proud to give you, Kira, the Dino Zeo Pink morpher. You will now be known as the Dino Zeo Rangers."

Before they could say anything a siren sounded out as Alpha moved over to the monitor.

"What's up Alpha?" Jason said.

"Ai! Yi! Yi! Yi! Serpent Tera is landing in Angel Grove!"

"Well guys, looks like we're about to give these morphers a test drive." Tommy said with a serious expression, knowing the battle that is about to come.
