Chapter 4: It's Morphin' Time!!

Angel Grove, California, Venjix Prison Camp,

The Mighty Morphin' Green Ranger had just appeared out of the streak of green light and everyone was speechless. "I suggest you surrender while you still can." The Green Ranger said menacingly to General Viral who was stunned by the sudden arrival of the legendary Green Ranger.

"I will never surrender to you!" Viral shouted as he got back up and charged towards the Green Ranger. The remaining Grinders decided to join in.

"Dragon Dagger!" The Green Ranger shouted. The Dragon Dagger then appeared in his right hand. The ranger then started fighting the Grinders and General Viral all by himself while Billy and Tenaya went over to the former Rangers.

"Billy, what's going on?" Kimberly asked looking worried. "Why is Tommy wearing his Green Ranger suit again?"

Billy pulled out the box. "First off, that isn't Tommy." He began. "His name is Shark and he's a friend." He opened the box and revealed the Power Coins. "Zordon has returned and recreated the Power Coins for all of you to use."

Jason: Tyrannosaurus

Zack: Mastodon

Kimberly: Pteradactyl

Trini: Sabretooth Tiger

Aisha: Sabretooth Tiger and Bear Power Coins

Rocky: Tyrannosaurus and Ape Power Coins

Adam: Mastodon and Frog Power Coins

"What about the Zeo Crystal?" Tanya asked as that was her only form of power.

Billy looked confused. "I thought you knew." He said. "The Zeo powers are still inside all of you."

"How do you know that?" Adam asked. He, Rocky and Tanya had thought that the Zeo Powers were stored in the Power Chamber and had been destroyed when the Power Chamber was destroyed by Divatox.

"Well, Tommy and Kat are using their Zeo Powers to fight against Venjix back in Corinth." Billy stated.

The three Zeo looked at each other. Adam then tried to summon his Zeonizers and they appeared on his wrists. "It worked!" He said in shock.

"You mean that we could've summoned our Zeo Powers all this time?!" Tanya asked in shock. She was angry at herself, Adam and Rocky for not thinking of trying to do that.

"I guess so." Rocky said.

All of them were then brought back to the situation at hand when the Dragon Dagger slipped from Shark's grip and landed at Jason's feet. "Ah, man." Shark moaned in annoyance.

Jason picked up the Dagger. "I guess some things never change…" He mumbled to himself. He and Tommy both occasionally had trouble holding onto the dagger because of the flute keys being on the handle.

"Alright, let's get in on this." Zack said with a smile.

"Ready?" Jason asked and everyone nodded. "It's Morphin' Time!!"

All the Rangers assumed their morphing stances. "Mastodon!" Zack shouted. The original Black Ranger suit appeared on his body.

"Pteradactyl!" Kimberly yelled. The original Pink Ranger suit appeared on her body.

"Triceratops!" Billy said. The Mighty Morphin' Blue Ranger suit appeared on his body.

"Sabretooth Tiger!" Trini shouted. The Mighty Morphin' Yellow Ranger suit appeared on her body.

"Tyrannosaurus!" Jason yelled. Instantly, the original Red Ranger suit appeared over his body.

"Yellow Ranger Power!" screamed Aisha. Her suit was an exact duplicate of Trini's suit but it had the bear Power Coin in the belt buckle.

"Zeo Ranger II Yellow!" shouted Tanya.

"Zeo Ranger III Blue!" yelled Rocky.

"Zeo Ranger IV Green!" stated Adam. The three Zeo Rangers morphed into their suits.

The Mighty Morphin Rangers summoned their Power Weapons: Blue's Power Lance, Pink's Power Bow, Yellow's Power Daggers, Black's Power Axe and Red's Power Sword. Aisha also summoned her Power Daggers while the Zeo Rangers summoned their weapons as well: Yellow's Zeo II Double Clubs, Blue's Zeo III Power Axes and Green's Zeo IV Power Hatchets.

The citizens of Angel Grove were shocked to see the Rangers morph in front of them. Bulk, Skull and Ernie had known who the Rangers were: Ernie knew all along and Bulk and Skull were told by the Space Rangers, after they revealed their identities to fight Astronema, and Tommy had filled them in on the Mighty Morphin and Zeo Rangers after he helped them start up Bulkmeier's. "This is going to be good." Skull said happily. Bulk and Ernie agreed. The three looked a little different from before. Bulk and Ernie had both lost a good amount of weight while Skull had gained some muscle from all the long hours of hard work.

The Mighty Morphin' and Zeo Rangers then charged in to join Shark in fighting the Grinders and General Viral. Jason gave Shark the Dragon Dagger back. "Try to hold on to it this time." Jason joked.

Shark chuckled. "Hey, not being able to hold the keys tightly makes it a little difficult." He retorted. He and Jason then joined back in the fight. Tenaya was also fighting the Grinders.

Meanwhile, Outside the Dome of Corinth,

The unmanned fighters of the Eagle Squadron had all been destroyed but had taken out a large amount of Drone air fighter as well as a good number of the Grinders. RJ and the other Jungle Fury Rangers, along with Jarrod and Camille, were fighting General Shifter while the Pai Zhua Masters helped Corinth Security deal with the Grinders. Scott and the RPM Rangers were going at it with Kilobyte, leaving Tommy and Kat to engage in battle with Venjix.

Tommy had summoned his Zeo Five Power Sword. During the battle so far, Venjix's body had changed from being its bulky form to a black colored version of his original body. Kat's Zeo One Power Disk had also been summoned so they were ready for a major fight.

'This is going to be tricky.' Tommy thought to himself as he waited for Venjix to make his move. 'Venjix is ten times stronger than anything I've ever come across and that's definitely saying something…' With years of experience on his side, Tommy could tell how powerful an opponent might be just by looking at them and how they presented themselves. But lately, there has been a new ability that came from out of nowhere that seems to allow him to sense an enemy's power. It was almost like a sixth sense.

"You, Rangers, have finally met your match." Venjix chuckled evilly. He then unleashed a blast of black electricity at Tommy and Kat.

Kat used her shield to defect to energy while Tommy was busy dodging the blasts and trying to get in closer. Unfortunately, Venjix wasn't going to make it easy for them. He had blasters come out of his chest and they were firing at Tommy as soon as he got close enough to strike. "Damn!" Tommy shouted as he barely dodged the laser fire. The blasts were even able to push Kat back even though she had powered up her shield. 'This is definitely going to be a lot harder than all my other fights, including Zeltrax. And that guy was a pain in ass as it was.' Tommy thought to himself.

"What are we going to do, Tommy?" Kat asked as Tommy joined her behind her shield.

"We just have to wait for an opening to strike." Tommy said calmly. "There has got to be a weakness and that's where we'll strike."

While Tommy and Kat were trying to find a weak spot, the Jungle Fury Rangers were dealing with the Grinders. Casey, Theo and Lily were all in their Jungle Master Modes, which was now their normal form when they morphed since they had their claw marks. "These things sure are tougher than the Rinshi." Casey said as he and Jarrod fought back-to-back.

"I know but we've been training for this since our last encounter with these foot soldiers." Jarrod said as he broke one of the Grinders apart.

Camille, Theo and Lily were also fighting back-to-back. "Damn, these things sure have gotten a lot stronger since last time." Camille said sternly.

Theo bashed two with the Jungle Tonfa. "Yeah but what doesn't mean we are going to stop fighting!" He shouted.

"You got that right, Theo." Lily agreed as she used her Jungle Bo to take out a couple of the Grinders.

RJ, Dom and the Spirit Rangers were trying to keep General Shifter, who managed to get closer to the dome, from breaking the shield while the Pai Zhua Masters waited inside the dome with Coronel Truman and Corinth Security to take out any of the enemy that managed to get inside the dome. "There seems to be no end to these things." Dom said.

"Don't worry, Dom," RJ said with a smile. "I know that we are all going to win and survive this." The Spirit Rangers nodded in agreement. The five then charged toward Shifter and attacked him with their weapons once again.

The RPM Rangers were fighting with Kilobyte and their fight was going just as well as the others. "You Rangers never learn do you?" Kilobyte asked arrogantly as he fought them. "You can't defeat Venjix!"

"Wanna bet?!" Dillon roared angrily as he charged forward with the Rail Saber. Kilobyte and Dillon started going at it while Scott, Flynn, Summer and Ziggy tried to get up and get the RPM Enforcer ready to blast the robot. Gem and Gemma were busy taking care of a robotic monster that Kilobyte had brought with him.

"It's time for a," Gem started.

"Major boom time!" shouted Gemma excitedly.

Meanwhile, Brachiozord, RPM Area,

Dr. K was monitoring the fights and could tell things were not going as well as they could. 'This is definitely not going to be an easy victory.' She thought as she watched the fighting. She turned around and looked at the new weapons that she had been working on. They were different colored versions of the Rail Saber: red, yellow, blue, green, gold and silver.

Brachiozord, Control Center,

"Alpha, are you sure these readings are correct?" Zordon asked urgently. He and Alpha had been watching the battle that was taking place outside until two of the alarms started going off. The first was the communication network; someone was trying to contact them but wasn't getting through to them for some reason. The second one was what caused Zordon to be so urgent.

"Yes, Zordon," Alpha 5 replied. "I am positive that the readings are 100% correct. But it still doesn't make sense. Even though Tommy was the original Green Ranger, these readings are indicating that the Green Power Coin has given its power to someone; but it couldn't be Tommy, he's out there fighting Venjix."

Zordon stood there for a little while, thinking it over. "It could be that there is someone who was destined to use the power other than Tommy." He finally said. "Or, it could be that Tommy was just allowed to use its power but wasn't the one truly destined to wield its power. There could be any number of reasons for it."

"I agree, Zordon," Alpha said calmly. They returned their attention to the battle between Venjix and Power Rangers.

Five Minutes later, Venjix Prison Camp, Angel Grove, California,

The battle had been short but fierce. The five original and second yellow Mighty Morphin' and the three Zeo Power Rangers were able to rid of all the Grinders while Shark and Tenaya destroyed General Viral. "That takes care of them." Shark said.

"Right," Jason agreed, "Power Down!" He then demorphed.

"Power Down!" all the others, including Shark, shouted. They all demorphed.

The civilians all started cheering and thanking the rangers. Shark activated his communicator. "Alpha, come in." He said into his wrist communicator. "We've got a lot of people here and we need some way of transporting them all to Corinth."

"Shark, we can do a massive teleportation but they will all have to wait a little bit so we can contact Coronel Truman." Alpha replied.

"Alright, but I need you to put Zordon on." Shark said.

"I'm here Shark." Zordon's voice said. The Rangers that had just been rescued were shocked to hear their old mentor's voice again.

"Zordon, if you're feeling up to it, I'd like you to restore the power to the Dino Gems." Shark said into his wrist communicator.

There was a pause for a few seconds before Zordon answered. "Yes I could restore their power but I'll need to rest for a few hours afterwards."

"Alright, but leave the Black Dino Gem for later since Tommy already has the Zeo Five sub crystal's power and White Ranger Power Coins to use in the mean time." Shark said.

Zordon chuckled on the other end. "Good point, my young friend." He said. "It won't take as much energy to restore only four of the gems as it would if I did all five. It will also take me less time to recover."

Shark agreed. "How is the battle going by the way?" He asked.

There was another pause but this time, it was ominous. A different voice replied. "This is Cestria. Zordon asked me to fill you in on the battle while he restores to power of the Dino Gems."

"Okay." Shark said sounding concerned.

Shark heard as Cestria sighed on her end of the communication. "To be honest, the battle isn't going as well as we had hoped." She said. "Tommy and Kat are fighting Venjix while all the others are dealing with his generals and Grinders."

Shark could tell that Cestria was worried by the sound of her voice. He frowned and knew that they needed help at Corinth. "Alright, have Alpha teleport the other Zeo Rangers and Aisha when he teleports the civilians." He said sternly.

"What?!" Jason and Adam asked in shock.

"But I thought that we were going to get the Dino Thunder Rangers?" Kimberly said in confusion.

Shark looked at them and grinned. "We are but only the original five and Tenaya will be going with me." He explained. "The others are needed in Corinth to help defeat Venjix."

Billy caught on. "I get it. If Corinth falls then there really isn't any reason for us to free the Dino Thunder team."

"Exactly." Shark said.

"And by splitting us up, it increases the chances of both being successful." Trini added and Shark nodded in agreement.

"Well, that's certainly a good reason but why only the four of us?" Rocky asked.

Adam chuckled. "Rocky, I'm sure the four of us will be able to help hold Venjix's forces off long enough for the other to complete their rescue mission." He said.

"Yeah I guess you're right." Rocky admitted.

"The teleportation is ready whenever you are." Alpha said through Shark's wrist communicator.

"Alright," Shark instructed, "teleport the civilians to the safety area and the Rangers near the battle."

"You got it, dude." Alpha replied happily.

A few seconds later, Inside Corinth City,

The civilians of Angle Grove were all teleported into a sports stadium in the dome where Corinth Defense was waiting for them with food and medics. 'This is going to be a little difficult to deal with…' Vasquez thought as she helped take care of the civilians.

Ernie walked up Vasquez. "Mind if I help?" He asked. Bulk and Skull then offered to help as well.

Meanwhile, Outside Corinth City Dome,

Adam, Tanya, Rocky and Aisha all appeared through their colored streaks of light. Adam's was made of black and green and Rocky's was made of red and blue while Tanya and Aisha's were just yellow. They instantly saw that Tommy and Kat needed the most help since they were fighting against Venjix. "Ready guys?" Adam asked.

"Ready," the other three responded.

"It's Morphin' Time!" Adam shouted.

"Yellow Ranger Power!" yelled Aisha.

"Zeo Ranger II Yellow!" shouted Tanya.

"Zeo Ranger III Blue!" commanded Rocky.

"Zeo Ranger IV Green!" shouted Adam. All four of them morphed into their Ranger suits, summoned their power weapons. "Let's go!"

The four then charged into battle, catching Venjix off guard. Tommy and Kat were both shocked to see their old friends and teammates again. "How did you guys get here?" Kat asked.

"Alpha teleported us from the Angel Grove Prison Camp after Billy, Tenaya and Shark liberated us." Aisha explained.

"By the way, Tommy, Shark's the new user of the Green Power Coin." Adam added. "He, Tenaya and the original five decided to go to Reefside to get your last team of Rangers."

Tommy was shocked by what he had just been told. "Shark has my original Power Coin and is going to free my former students…" He mused. He then smiled under his helmet. "We do need all the help we can get and those four will definitely be a big help." Tommy said happily.

"Until then…?" Tanya asked already knowing the answer.

"We hold the line." Tommy responded. The Zeo Rangers and second Mighty Morphin' Yellow Ranger charged toward Venjix.

Meanwhile, Just outside of Reefside Prison Camp,

The original five, Shark and Tenaya arrived via the streaks of light and saw that this camp was just like the one back at Angle Grove. "Just like the other camps…" Shark mused as he looked through a pair of binoculars.

Shark handed the binoculars to Jason, who saw the same situation. He nodded. "Alright, Shark, what's the plan?" He asked, surprising everyone that he was turning the leadership to the new guy.

Shark nodded and activated his wrist communicator. "Alpha, you can send the Dino Gems." A small white box with the Dino Thunder symbol on it appeared in Shark's hand. He handed Tenaya the box. "Stay out of sight and look for the Dino Thunder team while we handle the Grinders." Tenaya seemed reluctant but knew that this was all part of the bigger picture. "Let's go." He said to Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Zack and Trini. The six of them then headed towards the camp.
