Power Rangers Dino Thunder Part 2: It's Not Over
Short Title: It's Not Over
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own the Power Rangers. If I did, Saban would still be in control and Operation Overdrive would actually be INTERESTING. (Seriously, download Boukenger episodes!) David belongs to me, though...hehe. (lol)
Author's Note: 11 reviews and it's only the fourth chapter...You guys know how to make a writer feel good, don't ya? (lol)
Chapter Four: The Color Purple, Part II
"Your move, Yellow." said Hime as she drew the Drago Sword.
Damn, Kira, this isn't like you. Remember, this isn't Trent... thought Kira to herself as she summoned her Ptera Grips and charged toward Hime. Hime expertly dodged and slashed Kira across her chest several times before backing off.
"What's the matter, Yellow? Hesitation is for the weak." said Hime as she started attacking Kira again, causing her to painfully de-morph.
"You...bitch..." said Kira as Hime jumped on top of her and held the tip of the Drago Sword on her neck, drawing out a tiny amount of blood.
"Goodbye, Yellow. Shame you were too--ACK!!" yelped Hime as a green blur kicked her square on the back of her head.
"You okay?" asked David as he held out his hand to Kira.
"Dav...David?" asked a weak Kira as David scooped her into his arms.
"Yeah, it's me. I'm taking you back to base for now." said David as he leaped high into the air, landing a good one hundred yards from Hime.
"I'll get them later..." said Hime as she de-morphed and disappeared.
"Who done this to her?" asked Dr. Oliver as he looked at the now asleep Kira.
"That woman morphed into a White Ranger and attacked Kira. I was a good distance away, but I could hear screaming, so I checked it out." said David.
"Looks like we found who stole the White Dino Gem." said Hayley as she typed on a nearby computer.
"But I thought the Gems had to choose you..." started David as Dr. Oliver interrupted.
"Normally, they do. But I saw some of the battle between that woman and Kira, and she implied that she forced what little Gem energy remained in Trent out of him, allowing her to summon the recharged Gem." said Dr. Oliver.
"So what do we do in the meantime?" asked David.
"Well, we'll have to take shifts watching over Kira. That battle was very draining on her, so we need to make sure her vitals stay fine." said Dr. Oliver.
"Brilliant plan, Hime. Not only did you manage to steal the White Dino Gem, but you successfully stole all of Trent's powers." said Dr. Ishida as he typed on a nearby computer.
"Doctor, I hope you remember that there is still one more Gem left. We need to find it." said Hime.
"I have sent a specimen out to obtain it. Relax for once." said Dr. Ishida.
"You didn't send..." started Hime as Dr. Ishida held his hand up and continued, "No. He is still in the beginning phases."
Deep in Dr. Ishida's lab, "he" was struggling against his bonds, trying to escape from his capsule. I've got to get out of here...
The next day, Kira woke up to discover she was lying on a cot in Dr. Oliver's basement. Since her battle with Hime was so draining, Hayley wanted to keep her overnight to make sure that Kira was going to be okay. Unfortunately, since everyone had to work that morning, David was the only one that could stay on guard duty...and he was sound asleep.
Hmm, wonder where everyone else is... thought Kira to herself as she walked over to the cot David was sleeping on.
"I'm sorry I ate the pie, Monkey King..." said David as he started to snore.
Why, God, are the cute ones ALWAYS strange whenever they're asleep?! thought a now irritated Kira as she nudged David's shoulder.
"Don't do that..." groaned David as he started to snore again.
"I can't believe I'm about to do this again...I seriously hope nothing valuable gets broken and his eardrums don't shatter." said Kira as she inhaled and let out a Ptera scream loud enough to wake David up, but not send shockwaves.
"I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!!!!!" yelled David as his eyes shot open and he sat up straight while pointing at the wall.
"Um...good morning to you, too..." said a wide-eyed Kira as David turned to his right and blushed.
"Whoops! Not used to being woke up like that..." laughed a nervous David.
"It's okay, really. Don't worry about it." said an equally nervous Kira.
After a moment of VERY awkward silence, David's cell phone began to ring. As soon as he started to say "Hello?" he was interrupted by a very loud scream that said:
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, DAVID?!!"
"Um...I'm at Dr. Oliver's house, why do you ask?" asked David.
"BECAUSE YOUR LAZY ASS WAS SUPPOSED TO PICK ME UP THREE HOURS AGO!!!" yelled a VERY pissed Kimberly.
"Three hours...Oh holy SHIT!" yelled David as he grabbed a clock and read the time on it...2:45pm.
"YOU BETTER HAVE A DAMN GOOD EXPLANATION, DAVID! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO PUT UP WITH THIS BEHAVIOR!" yelled Kimberly.
"I'll explain when I get to the airport, sis. Trust me, it'll be a good enough explanation." said David as he silent thought If being a Ranger counts, that is...
David heard Kimberly sigh loudly on the other end, then say, "David, I know you're probably helping with whatever reasearch that stone involves, but PLEASE don't forget about me again. If I wanted to feel neglected, I'd call Mom."
Oh, I'm going to need a BIG present for this one... thought David as he said, "I'm sorry, Kimmie. I got so caught up in the research that everything else slipped my mind. I've been a horrible brother."
"Don't beat yourself up, I'M supposed to do that, remember?" laughed Kimberly.
"You can beat me senseless for all I care. I will say that I hate having to think about you being stuck in that airport ALL DAY, I feel worse already." said David.
"Eh, for as small a town as Reefside is, there are some great shops near the airport, so it wasn't too bad. Just come pick me up soon." said Kimberly.
"Trust me, as soon as I'm out of the shower and I've changed, I'll be straight there." said David.
"Bring me a present?" asked Kimberly.
"Oh trust me, Sis, I'm going to need a present the size of Space Mountain for this one!" laughed David.
"All right then, I will see you when you get here." said Kimberly.
"See you, Sis. Much love." said David as Kimberly responded with a "Much love" of her own before hanging up.
"Sounds like you broke a promise." said Kira.
"Big time." said David.
"Well, in that case I'm going to head back to my house for a bit, get a shower of my own and everything." said Kira as she started towards the stairs.
"Kira, can I ask you something?" asked David as Kira stopped.
"Yeah?" responded Kira.
"Why don't you go take care of that and ride to the airport with me? You could probably use the company since everyone else is gone." said David.
"No, that's okay, really. I'll catch up with you later." said Kira as she walked upstairs and exited the house.
God, Kira...I'm not trying to pull anything! thought a frustrated David as he went to go take a shower and change.
"Thanks for the present, Bro." said Kimberly as they headed towards the downtown area of Reefside. Before going to the airport, David had stopped to pick up a late lunch (and a big one at that) for Kimberly from a nearby Fazoli's.
"Figured you could use the food. Airline food and airport food just don't cut it, I made the mistake of eating a big breakfast of the stuff before a dig...not pretty." laughed David.
"Speaking of digs, were you able to figure out anything about that stone you found?" asked Kimberly as she finished the last of her lunch.
"Nothing much, really. Other than the interesting tidbit of it being a piece of the meteorite that supposedly destroyed the dinosaurs, it's just another artifact." said David.
"That in itself is still pretty cool." said Kimberly.
"I guess so." said David as Hime suddenly appeared in the road in front of them, causing David to nearly hit her.
"Hello, Green. Care to join me?" teased Hime as David and Kimberly exited the vehicle.
"Who are you?!" asked David as he took a fighting stance.
"My name is Hime, and I serve the brilliant Dr. Ishida." said Hime as she pulled back the gold part of the Drago Morpher.
A morpher?! Great, ANOTHER evil Ranger plot... thought Kimberly before she responded, "Well, Dr. Ishida can crawl back into whatever hell-hole he came from!" and taking a stance of her own.
"Such language. White Ranger--Dino Power." said Hime as she pressed the red button on her morpher, transforming her into the White Dino Ranger.
"Kimberly, this isn't how I wanted to break this to you, but I have no choice." said David as his morpher appeared.
"Revealing a secret, are you?" asked Hime as she drew the Drago Sword.
"You better believe it! DINO THUNDER--POWER UP!!" yelled David as he morphed into the Green Dino Ranger while Kimberly's jaw dropped.
My brother is a Ranger, too?!
