The air inside the Cyberspace Youth Center was electric as students ran around the building decorating the place. The school was having it's fall dance and Kira was all too excited to chip in by offering up the Youth Center for the dance, in her words it would be a good way to break the place in. Looking around from their table the rangers couldn't help but grin as they watched Kris dash around from person to person making sure everything was going well.

"I didn't think that the student council president had to worry about organizing dances," Drake said watching his girlfriend, "don't you guys normally have committees for this kind of stuff?"

"Yeah but Amber, who was suppose to be heading up the dance committee, wasn't feeling good after school," Amy explained stealing one of Trey's fries, "so Kris offered to help so she could go home and get some rest so she'd hopefully be able to make it to the dance.."

"I still don't get why we have to have a dance," Calder muttered as he played on his PS Vita, "it's just a stupid reason to get dressed up."

"It's suppose to be for fun Calder," Jenna remarked as she strummed away on her guitar, looking up for a second to glance at the pink ranger, "though Kris might want to slow down, she's going to get herself hurt."

As if on cue a black cat with a white crescent moon on it's forehead managed to get inside crossed Kris's path as she ran over to check on some decorations that weren't hanging up just right, Kris slipping and falling as the cat crossed her path and sliding across the floor till she hit the wall.

"Well that was a stroke of bad luck," Amy muttered as Drake went to help Kris up.

"What did you expect, a black cat just crossed her path," Trey commented with a wave of his hand, "what's a cat doing in here anyway?"

"Oh that's Luna," Jenna replied, standing up and picking up said cat as it wandered near her, "I found her outside in the alleyway and Kira said as long as no one claimed her I could keep her."

"Any luck finding her owner?" Amy asked scratching Luna's chin.

"None so far," she replied petting the cat, "anyway what does Luna crossing Kris's path have to do with her tripping?"

"It's bad luck for a black cat to cross your path," Drake explained sitting back down, Kris sitting next to him, "along with breaking a mirror, going under a ladder, spilling salt…"

"Bad luck?" Jenna hummed thoughtfully, "I remember researching that when I was a Viralite but I didn't think too much on it, all of it just seemed like coincidences."

"Because that's all it is coincidences," Calder groaned rolling his eyes, "there's no such thing as luck, good or bad."

"Oh I wouldn't say that," Kris smiled, "what just happened seemed like bad luck to me."

"Please there was just a puddle of water," the green ranger pointed out, jabbing his thumb towards the wet floor sign, "you just happened to miss it."

"Okay so what about that time I walked under a ladder and ended up with a cup of coffee being spilt on me?" Amy challenged, the green ranger rolling his eyes.

"The guy was coming around the corner and you ran into him, simple as that."

Looking over at Jenna, Calder looked at the girl who had set aside her guitar to pet the cat resting in her lap.

"You don't believe in luck do you Jenna?" he asked, Jenna looking up.

"You're talking to someone who believed that she was a Viralite warrior for sixteen years only to find out she was a human," she replied going back to petting Luna, "so I'm not going to overlook the possibility of luck."

Calder rolled his eyes and stood up, picking up his backpack.

"There is no such thing as luck," The green ranger declared with a wave of his hand, "good or bad."

As he walked away the others watched him head towards the game room, Calder setting his backpack down when he reached one.

"How can a gamer not believe in luck?" Trey asked turning around, "I mean I don't play a lot of video games but even I know some games require luck to land criticals."

"Just let him be," Drake remarked leaning back in his seat, "not everyone believes in luck or other such superstitions."

The others nodded, no one noticing a second black cat peeking in on them from outside. This cat wasn't a normal black cat however as it seemed to reach the height of a normal man, had a crescent moon on it's forehead and finally was wearing a necklace with salt on it.

"No such thing as bad luck huh?" The cat asked with a grin, "well then I'll just have to prove you wrong green ranger."

"A school dance would be an awful time for a stroke of bad luck," Destro remarked tapping his fan on his hand, "Wouldn't you agree Lucky?"

Grabbing some of the salt off his necklace the monster tossed it through the window, the salts landing on each of the rangers.

"There now the rangers' luck will be so bad that there little dance will fail," Lucky stated gleefully, "and while they're distracted we'll see if any of them have that Primordial Shard."

"You might as well include the computer girl, it wouldn't do us well to believe her not to be a potential threat," Destro grumbled gripping his fan, "Not after last time…"

Lucky tossed some more of his salts, this tone aiming at Jenna who was setting the black cat in her lap down.

"Some cats get all the luck."

Turning to face the accompanying general Lucky wiped his paws on his fur, making sure to keep them away from his salts.

"Now that the rangers are cursed with bad luck all we need to do is sit back and watch them crash and burn," he claimed Destro turning his back to him.

"Don't think that you'll have to get out of fighting them, those rangers are a pest for a reason."

Lucky laughed as he rubbed some salt off his necklace and tossed it into the air, the salt shimmering a second before vanishing.

"Those rangers are going to have such bad luck they won't be able to lay a paw on me," Lucky claimed, "if they even try to fight me it's going to be a CATastrophe for them."

Destro groaned, wanting nothing more than to smack the annoying monster right now. But he held back and turned his head to look at him.

"Just be sure that if you have a chance to take their Shards as well," he reminded them, "Empress Primora wants all of them if possible."

Before Lucky could even respond Destro vanished in his normal mist of purple. With a dismissive wave of his paw the bad luck monster looked back inside the building and grinned a catlike grin.

"Now then rangers let's see how you all deal with some bad luck."

Calder grinned as he fought some former rangers on the arcade game he was playing, wanting to practice some after losing in the final round of the tournament he was previously in. Starting to get a good run on the game the green ranger cheered excitedly as he beat the Titanium ranger, knocking a salt shaker off a tray that was passing by.

"Oh crap I'm sorry," Calder apologized as he scrambled to pick up the salt, "my bad."

"It's fine, I'll just drop off this pizza and go get another salt shaker," the girl, Calder noticing her name was Alex, said grinning.

"Alex? You new here?"

"If you mean working here then yes, if you mean to Reefside nope," Alex replied shaking her head, "you just never seen me around the school since your head is normally in a game or computer."

"Oh uh...sorry," the green ranger muttered rubbing the back of his neck.

"No problem ,but uh, you might want to focus on the Mighty Morphing Red Ranger."

Calder's eyes widened as he turned back around and continued his game, failing to notice the salt on the ground as he played. As the game continued the green ranger knocked over his backpack and knocked the snap on lid to his water bottle, the water falling on the electrical strip and causing it to spark. Groans and complaints filled the room as Calder looked around to see that all the games had shut down, and from the looks of it they shut down mid game.

"What the…" he muttered confused, "okay so that happened."

Kneeling down next to the machine Calder saw the electrical strip and groaned, knowing that he was going to have to tell Kira what happened.

'That shouldn't have been enough water to do something like this,' he thought shaking his head, 'guess it was faulty, Kira isn't going to be happy about this.'

Amy and Kris were busy helping put the final touches up for the dance that night, Kris also checking every now and again to see if the catering people were doing okay. Pleased with how things were going, and that the dance was going to be a blast, the pink ranger stepped down from the ladder she was on and made her way over to Amy.

"Hey I was thinking about grabbing Jenna and helping her find a dress, you wanna come?" the pink ranger asked her friend.

Amy grinned and jumped down from the step ladder she was on and nodded.

"Sure, but we should probably find out if she has a date so we can make sure they match."

As the two moved to go grab their other female friend a picture hanging on the wall fell down, the girls laughing when a bucket of paint fell from the top of the ladder and spilt on them. As the man who was doing a small touch up for the building came down and started to apologize the girls wiped the paint away from their eyes and blinked away their confusion when Kris saw the picture on the floor.

"A hanging picture falls off the wall," Kris muttered to herself.

"You never think bad luck is going to happen to you until it finally does," Amy huffed as they went to wipe the paint off them.

Lucky laughed as he watched from his hiding spot, kicking his feet in the air as he held his stomach.

"Making the rangers and their little friend have bad luck is just too fun," he purred, "but I want to cause even more bad luck to this whole city, but who to start with?"

He then spotted a group of three girls walking in, Veronica and her two cronies.

"Ah they should work," Lucky gleefully said tossing some salt at them.

"Ugh and I thought that the original Cyberspace was bad," Veronica huffed looking around, "but it appears they were able to make it worse."

"Totally horrid," The girl on her left, Carly, agreed.

"Just awful," The girl on the right, Kari, nodded.

Veronica looked around and grinned as she saw Jenna sitting at a table working on her laptop. Her eyes gleamed with mischief as she and her two underlings walked towards her. Jenna's mind was close to short circuiting as she tried to go over the data on her laptop, the data they had about the silver Primordial Shard. Needless to say they didn't have much. The silver shard was slightly different from the others, just a touch more powerful, and Jenna was working with Alpha to see what they were going to do with it. The initial plan is to find someone to become the sixth ranger but until such a time they might as well figure out something else to do with it.

'We have Dr. Mercer and Rawlings working on a zord for this shard, and that should be up and ready in a few days,' she thought with a smile, 'so for now I need to focus on finding someone to...why do I smell an overpowering perfume?'

Jenna then heard Luna hiss, making her look up to see Veronica and the other two standing there.

'Oh Zordon help me,' she sighed closing her laptop.

"Hello Veronica, Kari, Carly," Jenna greeted with a forced smile, "What can I do for you?"

"Oh we were just coming to see the place that the dance was being held at," Veronica explained, waving her hand around the room, "though I wish they would have thought of something more...classy."

Jenna rolled her eyes and picked up her laptop, placing it in her bag before slinging the bag over her back.

"Well I'm sure the school picked the place they thought would be the best," she retorted walking pass them, "later."

Veronica glared at the girl walking away from her, reaching out to stop her from leaving when Luna walked in front of them and the sound of fabric ripping could be heard. As Veronica grabbed a hold of Jenna's arm and spun her around said girl squeaked and fell to the ground, grabbing a hold of Veronica's dress in an attempted to remain standing. As she hit the ground another sound of ripping fabric could be heard followed by a scream.

"M-MY DRESS!" Veronica shrieked, "It's designer!"

Looking up Jenna saw that she had managed to rip the sleeves off the dress as well as leave a rather impressive tear down the side. Carly and Kari quickly moved to cover their leader up so that no one would see her undergarments, Veronica glaring at Jenna.

"I hope you know you're paying for a new dress Kampell, and I want one exactly like this!"

Veronica snapped her fingers and the three left before anything else could be done, leaving Jenna sitting there on the floor wondering what just happened. Sighing Jenna picked up her back and examined the rip in it before noticing that her laptop screen was horribly cracked.

"Ah man I just got this," she groaned picking it up, "just my luck…"

Shaking her head she gathered up the rest of her stuff and looked over at the black cat standing next to her.

"You do this Luna?" she asked the cat, Luna meowing in response, "yeah I didn't think so."

Drake and Trey watched warily as bad things happened to their teammates. Deciding that it would be best to go and do something before something bad happened to them the two got up and exited the building to head towards The Cave when they heard a the sound of a bird crowing.

"So you think that Calder is right?" Trey asked the team leader, "that there's no such thing as luck?"

"You know, I really don't know," Drake shrugged, "I mean maybe it does maybe it doesn't, but whatever was going on in there definitely wasn't good luck."

The two continued walking down the street they noticed a few black feathered birds perched on top of a tree staring at them. Stopping in his tracks Trey looked up at the birds and chuckled.

"Hey look it's a raven," he pointed out.

"Yeah that's kind of…"

Drake stopped as he heard the sound of rolling thunder echoed in the distance. Looking at his blue friend the two of them tugged the Dino Jackets closer as they started to run, the raven crowing again as they turned a corner. Just as they started down the stretch of road that Drake's truck was parked on a car sped by and hit a puddle of water, soaking the two boys. Wet and cold the two of them climbed into the red truck and Drake attempted to start it when all they heard was the sound of the engine not kicking over.

"Are you kidding me," Drake groaned, "I just got this fix!"

"Pop the hood and let's take a look," Trey said getting out of the truck.

The two got of out of the car, thankful that the rain was simply a small few minute downpour, and popped the hood. As the hood opened up the engine let out a puff of dark smoke into their faces, the two rangers now covered in soot.

"Well then…" Trey muttered wiping his face off.

"Yep," Drake agreed with the unsaid statement, "totally bad luck."

"Ah ha ha ha," they heard someone laugh.

Turning around they saw a tall black cat monster appear out of the shadows, lying on the ground and kicking his feet in the air.

"You rangers should see your faces, they're as black as my fur."

"Let me guess," Drake muttered wiping off his face, "you're Primora's latest lackey."

"The name's Lucky, Lucky the cat," Lucky replied with an over exaggerated bow.

"A black cat named Lucky, that's not overused," Trey grinned, "so what's Primora's plan this time, just have you keep causing us bad luck?"

"You think I'm just going to tell you the Empress's plan?" Lucky asked grinning a cheshire like grin, "if you want that information you'll have to beat me first."

"Not going to be an issue," the red ranger retorted getting into a fighting stance.

Pulling out a bronze disk Lucky summoned some Velotors to the area and laughed as the two rangers noticed they were holding things that would normally bring bad luck.

"Cause them some bad luck Velotors, pour it on!" Lucky ordered.

Drake and Trey leapt into action avoiding the objects being held by the minions. As the red ranger kicked away some of the Velotors one of them ran up and and handed him a horse shoe. Looking down at the metal object Drake looked back at the Velotor who grabbed it again when it noticed that it was right side up and gave it back to him upside down. Just as he was handed the horse shoe again the red ranger was kicked to the side, a bunch of other Velotors grabbing him and throwing him back into the fray.

Avoiding one of the spikes aimed at him Trey launched a couple of punches only for a group of four Velotors to jump him and pin him to the ground.

"Hey get off me!" the blue ranger ordered as he struggled to get up.

The Velotors grabbed a hold of him and lifted him into the air, tossing the blue ranger over towards a couple of Velotors holding a mirror. As he hit the mirror the mirror broke making Lucky laugh.

"Well that's seven years bad luck for you blue."

"Whoa!" Drake yelped as he was spun to the ground, landing next to Trey.

"This guy's just messing with us," Trey coughed standing up.

"Yeah, and it looks like he's doing whatever he can to pile up even more bad luck onto us," the red ranger panted, "But we can't let that stop us, come on."

"Right behind you."

"Velotors you know what to do," Lucky ordered sitting on a wooden crate.

The Velotors got back into the fight, doing what they could to trip up the two rangers and keep them from attacking. One of the Velotors even tossing a banana peel onto the ground and making the two of them slip and fall.

"Where did that thing get a banana?" Trey asked scrambling to get up.

"No clue," Drake grunted as he pushed a Velotor away, "but it seems like the more we fight the more bad luck they give us."

"Where are the others because we could really use their help right now!"

"Ah ha ha ha ha, this is all too good," Lucky laughed watching the fight, "your luck is so bad that even a Velotor could take you down."

"There over here," Lucky heard being called out, turning to see the other rangers.

"Drake, Trey," Amy called out as they ran towards them, fighting off some of the minions to help their friends, "you guys okay?"

"We've had better days," Trey groaned, "this guy's been loading us up with bad luck."

"Well that's not good," Kris muttered helping Drake up.

"Yeah, maybe this guy is the reason we've been having bad luck," Amy considered looking at the monster.

"Oh come on, like I said before there's no such thing as…"

"Bad luck?" Lucky asked jumping off the crate, "oh I wouldn't say that green ranger."

"Oh great a black cat," Amy muttered looking at the monster.

"Yeah and one who's causing all kinds of bad luck," Drake informed them.

"Looks like this cat is about to lose all nine lives," Trey muttered, the rangers lining up.

"You rangers think you can beat me?" Lucky chuckled, doubling over in laughter, "you're in for a very unlucky day."

The teens got into a fighting stance, Lucky clapping his hands together to make objects that cause bad luck to appear.

"Watched out for those items," Drake ordered, "anyone of them can give us some serious bad luck."

"Velotors grab the items and give those rangers the worst lucks of their life," the black cat demanded of the minions, the Velotors grabbing the items and charging the rangers.

Lucky laughed as he watched the fight, the Velotors tripping up the rangers and doing whatever they could in order to give them bad luck. As the rangers fought the Velotors would pull things like walking them under a ladder, which in turn would something either fall or almost fall on them, tripping them into garbage, and other comical things. As it went on the rangers started to feel more like the punchline to a joke more than actual heroes of the Earth.

"This is ridiculous," Calder said as he was handed a upside down horseshoe and pushed over another Velotor, "these guys are pushing us around like it's nothing."

"Tell me about it," Amy huffed before tripping and getting tied up by some rope.

"We have to figure out something," the pink ranger said as a bucket of water was dropped on her, "because if these punks ruin my outfit I'm going to skin that stupid cat."

"But you'll never be able to beat me," Lucky proclaimed with a grin, "you'll be lucky to even touch me, Velotors keep building up their bad luck."

"Hate to say it but he's right, if they keep building up our bad luck we're going to hurt ourselves before we even touch him," Trey grunted, "Drake we need to get out of here."

"Grr...rangers fall back," Drake ordered, the team leaving the area as Lucky laughed.

"Ah ha ha ha ha, that's right rangers run away, but the next time we meet I won't let you get away."

~PRTS~

Lucky appeared back on Primora's ship not long after the rangers retreated, his cheshire grin telling just how happy he was. That is he was happy up until he was struck in the chest by the butt of a spear and knocked to the ground. Scrambling back away Lucky looked up to see Empress Primora glaring down at him, her mere presence telling him that she was not happy to see him.

"What happened back there?" she demanded, holding him down with the butt of her spear.

"I-I made the rangers super unlucky," the cat replied confused, "I thought that was my job."

"Your job was to obtain the silver Primordial Shard," Destro reminded him, "and if possible to obtain the shards from the other rangers."

"W-well you see…"

Primora growled and pressed her spear into his chest harder, not allowing him to move from his place on the floor.

"Empress you're strong enough to take the Earth so why not get the shards after you control this planet?" Lucky asked trying to free himself.

"I want those shards because it's the only thing that's giving the rangers hope, the only thing that makes them believe that they can fight back," Primora explained, not letting up with her spear, "and if I can control the Primordial Shards then it will break the rangers, take away their hope, and then I'll take control of this planet."

Letting up with her spear Primora watched as Lucky stood up and take a few steps back, the space empress turning her back towards him.

"Go back to the Earth, and take the rangers' shards from them," Primora demanded, "otherwise I'll make sure that you have a very bad day."

"You can count on me Empress," Lucky assured her with a bow before vanishing.

"Would you like for me to make sure he doesn't fail Empress?" Destro offered.

"No, no one is to help him," Primora commanded, "and if he fails I don't want you to waste your magic to revive him, am I understood Magus."

"Of course my Empress," Magus replied with a bow.

"Good, cause I told him he'd have a bad day and I meant it."

~PRTS~

"So Primora's latest monster," Jenna said trying to understand the situation, "Is a black cat that causes bad luck?"

"Yeah, stupid isn't it?" Calder groaned.

Conner smirked and shook his head as he looked over the rangers, all of them covered in a liquid or trash, and tried to hold back a laugh. In all honesty a black cat causing bad luck wasn't out of the ordinary as a monster, in fact it was mildly hilarious to hear what happened to the rangers, but he knew that he needed to step up as a mentor and help the team.

"Is it stupid though Calder?" the former red ranger asked the green ranger, "he's doing what he does best and using it to trip you up."

"He's using his strengths to his advantage," Amy muttered, Conner nodding in confirmation.

"Exactly."

"So how do we beat him?" Drake asked holding an icepack to his head, "every time we tried to get close to him he would make us even more unlucky than before."

"We need to come up with something to counteract his powers," Kris hummed as she looked up from her drawing, a picture of a black cat with a crescent moon in it's eyes, "fight fire with fire."

"We turn his bad luck into good luck," Amy grinned.

"And in turn we give him bad luck," Trey concluded the others nodding.

"As painful as it is for me to admit that there is luck at play here," Calder muttered making the others grin.

"Alright rangers search the city for anything that you can use against Lucky," Conner ordered, "Jenna, Alpha and I will stay here and try to find him."

"Right!"

"Wait what about the dance?" Kris asked stopping them.

"What about it, it's just a dance," Calder said frowning.

"Lucky could do something to ruin it Calder!" the pink ranger yelled startling him, "and we've put a lot of effort into making sure it was ready."

"But…"

"Kris is right," Drake remarked shaking his head, "Amy, Kris you two go to Cyberspace and make sure Lucky's not there, the rest of us will search the city for items we can use."

"Right, good luck guys," Amy replied as the girls ran off.

"I'll go with you girls," Jenna offered standing up.

"We should check the thrift stores, we might find some things we can use," Trey suggested, the other two nodding.

Conner watched the team leave, the former red ranger closing his eyes as he sent up a silent word to Zordon to protect the rangers from harm.

"Well then let's get to work Alpha," Conner stated grinning at his friend.

"Where should we start Conner?"

"Not sure, but if he attacked at Cyberspace then he might attack there again," Conner muttered sitting down, "I'll call Kira to give her a heads up."

~PRTS~

"Now then I have to make sure that those power rangers don't find me before I get their Primordial Shards," Lucky purred as he appeared near Cyberspace, "And this is a good as place as any to start."

Walking over to the window the black cat monster glanced inside to see if the rangers were there and grinned when he spotted the three girls running inside.

"Ah purrfect, those two have Primordial Shards and if I'm correct that girl should be able to get me the Silver Shard."

"Everything looks fine here," Kris sighed relieved, "that's good, with all of that bad luck that stupid cat brought us I was worried something might have happened."

"Yeah but everything looks good," Amy remarked smiling.

Jenna nodded as she looked around spotting Kira at the counter who gave them a knowing smile. Her gaze continued around the hangout, trying to spot anything that would have been out of the ordinary, when she spotted Alex passing out drinks.

'Hm...maybe Alex would be a good candidate,' she thought reaching into her pocket and pulling out the Silver Shard, 'I do need to start trying to find the next power ranger, that is if this even works.'

"Oh it's the silver Primordial Shard!" Lucky said excitedly, his tail swishing to show his happiness, "purrfect now I just have to get that shard and the others and Empress Primora won't skin me."

"Ugh even these drinks are awful," Veronica sneered pushing the drink away, "why did we even come here to begin with."

"To see where they were holding the Fall Dance," Kari reminded her, Veronica glaring at the girl, "I uh, I'll be quiet now."

"She's right though we did want to see what this place looked like," Carly mentioned, "so you really can't be mad at her."

Rolling her eyes Veronica looked around and grinned when she saw Jenna walking over to Alex, her curiosity peaked.

"Oh it's Jenna and it looks like she's on a mission," she muttered, "and it looks like her path is taking her directly to Chambers, shall we see what's going on?"

Kari and Carly nodded and stood up, following Veronica as she walked towards Jenna and Alex. Reaching Alex Jenna took a deep breath and ran her thumb over the Silver Primordial Shard in her pocket, nervous about what she was about to ask, the heterochromiac girl currently wiping down a table before seeing a shadow cross over the table.

"This table will be clean in a second," she said not looking up.

"Hey Alex," Jenna smiled catching her attention.

Alex looked up and grinned as she saw Jenna standing there, the black hair girl walking over and hugging her. Jenna hugged her back, the two of them squeezing the other before letting go.

"What can I do for you rockstar?" Alex asked grinning.

"R-Rockstar?"

"Yeah I've seen you up there playing, you're pretty good and I think with Kira teaching you you'll get even better," the waitress remarked making Jenna blush.

Rockstar. That was Kira's nickname Conner gave her when they were rangers and Jenna knew that. Hell Conner still called her that. But to hear someone call her that was a bit jarring to her.

"Anyway what can I do for you?"

"Oh right um could you hold this for a second?" Jenna asked pulling out the Silver Primordial Shard and holding it out for her.

Alex tilted her head to the side but took the shard at any rate, looking it over as she held it up.

"This is neat where did you get this?" she asked turning it around in her hand.

'Nothing happened,' Jenna thought as she watched the girl.

"Oh um I found it at the park, thought it looked nice so I picked it up," the female Kampell twin lied looking away.

This didn't escape Alex's attention as she looked back at the shard. She didn't know why Jenna was lying to her but she figured that she had a reason to at the moment and she would, hopefully, come clean in the near future.

"So why did you want me to hold this?"

"Eh no real reason," Jenna replied taking it back, "thanks for indulging me though."

"No problem rockstar, well I should get back to work," Alex remarked picking up the rag.

"Yeah sorry for bothering you," Jenna apologized as she turned to leave.

"But…"

Jenna stopped and turned back around to see a grinning Alex.

"But?" She replied confused.

"I do have one question for you," Alex explained twirling the rag.

"And that is?"

"Will you go to the dance with me?"

Jenna felt her face heat up as Alex asked her that, her heart racing at the thought.

"W-what?" Jenna stuttered in shock.

"Will you go to the dance with me?" Alex repeated, "I mean it doesn't have to be a date, it could be as friends."

"Oh uh right," Jenna muttered looking at the ground, "I uhh…"

"You asking out a girl and it not be a date?" Veronica asked walking over to them, "that's a laugh."

"What do you want Cavendish?" Alex asked narrowing her eyes.

Veronica grinned and shrugged Alex off, looking at the gem in Jenna's hand before snatching it away from the girl.

"Hey give that back!"

"What is this? Doesn't look very impressive," she started looking it over, keeping it out of Jenna's reach, "it'd be better if it was gold."

"Give it back to her Cavendish," Alex growled making Veronica look at her in shock.

"I'm just looking at it," she remarked.

"Give it back Veronica it's mine," Jenna demanded, feeling agitated that Veronica was tall enough to keep it just out of reach.

"Oh someone's protective," Veronica smirked as she held her back, "why? What's so important about it?"

"That's none of your business!" Jenna hissed glaring at her.

"Oh well if it's none of my business."

She held out her hand to give it back to her but as Jenna reached out she grinned and tossed it out the window.

"Oops how clumsy of me," she teases with a shrug.

"Screw off Cavendish you did that on purpose!" Alex claimed glaring at her.

"I'd watch those accusations Chambers," Veronica warned, "otherwise I might just let something slip that Kampell doesn't know about you."

Alex growled again, Jenna ignoring it as she ran out of the building to where the window was that Veronica tossed the Shard out of. As she looked around Kris and Amy joined her, both of them looking concerned as they just saw their friend run out of Cyberspace.

"Jenna what's wrong?" the pink ranger asked jogging over to her.

"Yeah you ran out of there like a bat out of hell," Amy frowned.

"The Silver Primordial Shard, Veronica took it and tossed it out the window!" she explained frantically as she pushed aside some things in her way.

"What!"

The pink and yellow ranger quickly joined the search as the three scoured the area.

"I can't find it," Kris stated after a few moments.

"Me either," Amy huffed.

"It's got to be here somewhere just keep looking," Jenna told them, "if Lucky or one of Primora's lackeys find it then that would be a real stroke of…"

"Bad luck?" Lucky laughed as he showed up in the alleyway they were in, holding the Silver Primordial Shard, "correct you are tech brat."

"Give us the Shard Lucky," Kris demanded, both her and Amy pulling their morphers from their belts.

"Or we'll find of if cats really do have nine lives," Amy warned with grin.

"Oh I'm shaking in my boots," Lucky laughed as he trembled, "oh wait I really am, no matter cause you'll never get this Primordial Shard from me, and once I have your's Empress Primora will be so happy with me!"

"We warned you," Kris shrugged, "It's morphin' time!"

"Triassic Roar!"

The two female rangers pulled out their Dino Blades and attacked, Lucky artfully dodging as they either tripped up or ran into something.

"Ah ha your bad luck is still there rangers and unless you beat me it will always be there," the black cat laughed as he leaped away.

"Get back here you stupid feline!" Amy yelled chasing after him.

Seeing her sword coming towards him Lucky jumped out of the way and landed in between the two rangers, both of the launching an attack.

'Purrfect,' he thought with gleam in his eyes.

"Huh? Wait girls watch out!" Jenna yelled when she noticed how close they were.

Lucky jumped out of the way and watched as the two rangers struck each other, both of them stumbling back with sparks flying off them.

"What a tricky cat," Kris groaned glaring at the monster.

"Ah ha ha ha ha, this is purrfect, but I'm afraid that I have other things to do at the moment," Lucky stated scratching behind his ear, "like taking the shards away from your friends."

Lucky leaped into the air, leaving the two rangers standing there confused.

"He's...going to take their shards?" Amy whispered confused.

"So why didn't he try to take our's?" Kris wondered looking at the morpher on her waist.

"No clue but we need to warn the boys," Jenna replied shaking her head.

"Jenna's right," Kris agreed and took off her morpher, "Drake, Trey, Calder Lucky is heading your way and he's after your shards, do you have everything you need?"

"Yeah I think that we're set, but we're going to need you two as well," Drake replied.

"Alright we're on our way," Kris assured them, turning to Jenna, "Jenna…"

"I'm coming with you, Lucky got the Silver Shard from me so I'm responsible," she said clenching her fist.

The pink and yellow ranger looked at one another, both of them trying to think of something to stop her but shaking their heads.

"Alright then but stay safe, Drake would flip if you got hurt," Amy told her sternly.

"My brother won't do a thing, this is what I want to do so it's all on me if I get hurt," Jenna stated with conviction, "now come on we have to get to the boys.

"Right!"

~PRTS~

"Lucky's heading for us so we need to make sure he finds us and our trap," Drake informed the other two, "is everything ready?"

"As ready as it can be," Trey commented shaking his head.

"Are we sure this is going to work?" Calder questioned frowning.

"It'll have to," the red ranger replied, "Come let's morph and trap this feline."

The other two nodded and pulled off their Triassic Buckles.

"Triassic Roar!"

"Let's get moving, we still need to find Lucky," Drake ordered, the other two rangers nodding before they ran off.

Lucky appeared downtown, looking around for the rangers as civilians ran away when they saw him. Grinning his cat like grin he looked down at his paw and examined the Silver Primordial Shard.

"Empress Primora I have the Silver Shard just like you wanted!" he called out holding it up, "and once I beat the other rangers you'll have them all!"

"He's over here!"

The voice that called out made his ears twitch as he turned around and saw the male rangers running towards him.

"Ah Power Rangers I was wondering when I'd be able to find you," Lucky purred happily, "but like a stupid mouse you ran right to me."

"Hey man don't you know it's not a good idea to corner an animal?" Trey asked pointing at him, "they fight back!"

"Not if they're the prey they don't," Lucky hissed, "now hand over your shards!"

"You want our shards?" the red ranger asked placing his hand on his hip, "then you'll have to catch us in a game of cat and mouse."

"Ha you want to challenge me to game of cat and mouse, you'll lose paws down."

"Care to wager on that?" Drake retorted, "if we win then we get the silver shard back, if you win then we might give you ours."

"When I win I'm taking those shards from you," Lucky hissed, pulling out some salts, "and I'll make sure luck isn't on your side."

The three rangers all turned around and ran off, Lucky chasing after them. The four ran through the alleyways, Lucky gaining on them with each turn but the rangers managing to still keep out of reach.

"Are we sure this is going to work?" Triassic Green asked as they sped around another corner.

"It's going to have to," Triassic Red huffed, "it's just up here."

The three ran into a warehouse, Lucky tailing after them, but as the black cat entered he lost sight of the rangers. Instead he was greeted with a bunch of ladders, mirrors, and hastily hung pictures.

"W-what is this?" he asked looking around.

"What's the matter cat?" the red ranger called from out of sight, "don't you realize what can bring bad luck to people?"

"Rangers come on out and fight me this instant!" Lucky demanded trying to find them.

"Oh we'll fight you, if you can find us," he heard the yellow ranger's voice echo.

"What those female rangers are here too?" Lucky asked in shock, "argh fine then I'll find you and take your shards one by one."

Lucky walked into the warehouse carefully avoiding the ladders and touching the pictures until he reached the mirrors and saw the yellow rangers.

"There you are ranger! Take this!"

He lashed out, striking at the ranger only to break a mirror and realize that the ranger he was attacking wasn't there.

"What impossible!" Lucky mewed stepping back.

"Breaking a mirror?" the blue ranger said stepping out behind him, "too bad that's seven years bad luck."

"Blue ranger, I'll start by taking your shard," Lucky growled, lunging forward to attack.

Like before as he struck at the blue ranger his claws hit nothing but another mirror, breaking it once again and making him growl.

'Those brats are trying to get back at me by giving me bad luck,' he realized, 'well they have another thing coming.'

"Alright you power pest, fight me like a real cat," he yelled still looking for them.

"Like a real cat?" the pink ranger asked appearing on the other side of a ladder, "so we should hiss at each other as we circle around?"

"Oh no I'm not falling for that one pink ranger, I come after you and I go under that ladder adding more bad luck on me," Lucky remarked grinning, "but no more, if anyone is going to get bad luck it's going to be you five."

"Try six," Jenna corrected stepping out behind him, "or are you not going to attack me since I'm not a ranger?"

"Why should I waste my time with you, I already have you're Primordial Shard?"

"And we're going to get it back," Calder stated stepping out from behind some crates.

The other rangers stepped out from where they were hiding, all of them holding items that bring good luck. Looking at each of them Lucky felt his fur stand on end as he reached for his necklace to create some more salt.

"I'm not going to lose here, not to you," he told them, "I'm going to cancel out your good luck and force even more bad luck on you."

"What are you going to do about your bad luck though?" the red ranger asked tapping his sword on his shoulder.

"A minor setback," Lucky hissed at the red ranger, "now then which Primordial Shard should I take first."

"How about none of them, take him down rangers!" Drake ordered, crouching down and rushing forward to attack.

With five rangers attacking him at once, and not being a very good fighter to begin with, Lucky had to rely on his trickery even more then before, trying to toss salt at the rangers only to notice that it wasn't having any effect.

"What's the matter cat got your tongue?" Drake asked as he slashed him.

"That's not fun red, I'm the only one who gets the make cat puns," Lucky retorted attempting to hit him but having the blue and yellow ranger block him.

Getting pushed back Lucky looked up to see the pink and green ranger in front of him, both of them kicking him to force him underneath one of the ladders. As he tried to remain standing Lucky hit a crate, knocking it over and making the crates it was holding up and making them the crates fall on top of them.

"Rack them up," Kris grinned.

"And knock them down," Calder finished high fiving her.

Jenna nodded and walked over to the fallen crates, looking around for a few seconds before spotting a sparkle of silver. Pushing aside some of the broken wood she smiled and picked up the silver Primordial Shard.

"I'll take that thank you," she stated standing up, "thank you for keeping it safe for me."

Jenna smile happily as she walked back over to the rangers, holding up the silver shard for them to see.

"And they think black cats are bad luck."

"So what do you think now Calder?" Trey asked looking at the green ranger, "still think there's no such thing as luck?"

"I'm still not totally convinced," Calder replied shaking his head, "But it's holding some truth to it I guess."

The group all laughed only stopping when they heard the shifting of the crates and looked over to see Lucky standing up.

"Guess we're not through just yet," the red ranger muttered, "Jenna…"

"Yeah yeah I'm out of here," Jenna rolled her eyes, "kick his furry butt rangers."

""I-impossible, how did you rangers manage to nullify my salts?" Lucky asked confused.

The rangers looked at each other and reached down to their belts, all of them pulling out a good luck charm, a rabbit foot, a seven card, four leaf clover, a right side up horse shoe, and a dream catcher.

"We had good luck charms on us," the yellow ranger explained tossing the dream catcher into the air and catching it, "a little bit of insurance to make sure your bad luck doesn't affect us."

"After that it was only a matter of giving you bad luck," the blue ranger commented wagging his finger.

"No way you rangers you turned my own powers against me?" the black cat asked in shock.

"Oh yeah we did," Calder replied giving him a thumbs up.

"It's time to end this," Drake ordered running his hand up this blade.

The five blades started to glow their ranger color, all of them crouching down as a prehistoric forest surrounded all of them.

"What's going on here?" Lucky asked looking around.

The rangers all crouched down and pointed the tips of their Dino Blades at the black cat monster, the glow of the blades gleaming in the sun.

"TRIASSIC BARRAGE!"

Kris glided forward, slashing Lucky as the cry of the Pterodactyl rang out. Calder followed as the call of the Parasaur came while he slashed their opponent, followed by Amy with the cry of the Stegosaurus and then Trey with the cry of the raptor. Drake finished it up as he attacked with one final strong slash, the T-Rex calling out as it chomped down on Lucky.

"This is a CATastrophe!" he cried out as Lucky exploded behind the rangers.

"And that's the end of that," Drake said shouldering his Dino Blade.

Magus's mustache gave an irritating twitch as he watched Lucky get destroyed, his hand reaching out to reform him when he recalled Empress Primora's orders and stopped.

"Very well then rangers let's see how well you fare against my latest creation," the magic user said pulling out a few bones from his other pouch.

Tossing the bones through the portal Magus held out his hand and allowed some of his magic to follow, the bones glowing green as they hit the ground.

"You rangers don't know what's coming," he chuckled, "my newest creation will bite you down to size."

"Hey something isn't right," Trey muttered looking around, "why hasn't Lucky grown yet?"

"Trey's right, that tricky feline hasn't come back yet?" Amy asked frowning.

The bones started to shake and lept into the air, growing and forming into a bone dinosaur hybrid, a mixture of a raptor and and a t-rex. With a mighty roar the boney dino caught the rangers attention as they ran outside to see what was going on.

"Whoa what's that thing?" the green ranger asked pointing at it.

"Not a clue," Drake replied, "but whatever it is we need to take it out."

"Dinozords Arise!"

"Heh scared rangers?" Magus questioned cockily, "this is my Skelesaur, a monster created to match your zords teeth for teeth."

The rangers all jumped into the zords, the team surrounding the Skelesaur all of them crying out as the bone dinosaur roared at them. Crouching down the T-Rex zord charged forward and attacked, biting at the neck of its opponent allowing the Raptor zord to run up its back and slash on the Skelesaur. The Stegozord lumbered forward, swinging its tail and striking the skeleton, withe the Parazord headbutting it. Flying around it's head the Petrazord cried out, it's sonic voice hitting the skeleton to little effect.

"Oh man Kris's sonic scream didn't do anything!" Amy huffed clenching her fist.

"And it doesn't look like any of our attacks are doing much damage either," Trey added, "We need to think of something and quick."

"Ah ha ha ha, you rangers have no hope of beating my Skelesaur," Magus laughed, "it was designed so that your five zords won't be able to even scratch it."

The Skelesaur seemed to grin before roaring and charging the T-Rex zord, ramming into it and knocking it to the ground.

"Whoa, someone needs to send this boney creep back to the graveyard," Drake stated, "let's try this, Tyranno Charge!"

The T-Rex zord got back up and let out a torrent of fire, encasing the zord as it charged forward and rammed into the Skelesaur, knocking it back. Kris frowned as she saw his attack didn't do anything before something caught her eyes, a small blue orb on the back of the Skeletor.

"Guys I think I found something," she told the others, "aim for the blue orb on it's back."

"You heard the Lady," Trey told the others, "aim for that orb Raptor Slash!"

"Stego Spin!" Amy called out.

The two zords started to glow their ranger colors, the stego's spines and the raptor's claws, as the attacked.

"Para Headbutt!"

"Petra Cry!"

The four attacks struck the Skelesaur and caused an explosion, the zords regrouping and looking on as they saw the Skelesaur still standing there. Before they could attack though the Skelesaur started to crack and fall apart, a cloud of dust being kicked up as it was destroyed.

"Alright!" Amy yelled excitedly.

"We did it," Calder grinned giving them a thumbs up.

"Now that was a Triassic Win," Drake grinned, swiping his thumb over the top of his visor.

~PRTS~

"Those rangers, those pest!" Magus groaned as he watched his creation get destroyed, "destroying my Skelesaur, they'll pay for this I swear it."

"Enough of your griping Magus," Destro barked glaring at the monster creator, "unless you wish to fight the rangers yourself then we don't want to hear it."

"And just how many times have you fought the rangers and won?"

"If you're insinuating that I…"

"Enough the both of you," Primora ordered slamming the butt of her spear on the ground, "six monsters created, six monsters destroyed those rangers are proving to be more bothersome them I originally thought."

Primora smirked and started to laugh, making the two in the main control room look at her confused.

"E-Empress Primora?" Magus questioned.

"This is just too good," she laughed shaking her head, "the stronger they get the more fun it will be to break them."

She sat up and looked at the chessboard in front of her the five ranger pieces standing tall and looking almost proud.

"They may have the shards, but it won't be for long, and once I break those rangers there will be no one who stands in my way."

~PRTS~

"Well that's one more of Primora's lackeys we won't have to worry about," Calder said as they entered The Cave.

"Yep and it feels like we get stronger everyday," Amy agreed with a smile.

"You guys are getting stronger," Conner informed them, "but the enemy knows that and they'll grow stronger to make sure you lose."

"It feels like Primora's monsters are using familiar powers," Kris said thoughtfully as she sat down, "But I can't tell why."

"An cyclops, a monster that makes you sad, a primadonna, a mole, an ape, and now a black cat," Trey counted off frowning, "I'm not seeing a pattern there."

"Trey's right," Drake muttered closing his eyes, "but I also agree with Kris, everytime we fight one of those monsters the power they have feels familiar, spookily familiar."

"I'm sure that we'll figure it out eventually," Alpha stated, "but right now we need to focus on the Silver Primordial Shard and who the next ranger will be."

"Alpha's right, I mean I've only tried on person but still I have hope that the sixth ranger is out there," Jenna said smiling.

"Who know's Jenna, maybe the sixth ranger will be you," Kris smiled hugging her.

"Heh that would be great but I don't think so," she replied glancing over to see Gem leaning against the case of the Cyber Red suit, "I'm sure there's someone out there more suited than me."

Conner noticed this and glanced over at the Cyber Ranger outfits, not seeing anything but certain that something, or someone, was there that only she could see.

'I'll have to talk to her about that later,' he thought closing his eyes, 'I have a good idea who she's seeing but I'm not sure I'll be the best person to talk to her about it, oh well I at least have to try.'

"Well now that we're done with that tricky feline, we have one more thing to get ready for," Kris said grinning, Amy joining in.

"And that is?" Calder asked confused.

The three girls smirked at each other, Jenna standing up and placing her hand on her hip making all of the teen boys gulp.

"We have to get ready for the dance!"
