Chelbell2016:
Well here it is the first part of the white thunder part 1. please review and tell me what you think.
*Back to action*
Courtney's POV:
I am meeting up with Hayley at first light to prepare to open up the Cyberspace. We both walk in yawning as we went along. We hear a noise and Hayley gasps picking up something heavy from the counter while I prepare for a fight if needed. Hayley than realises that she is holding a jar and she puts it down. We both begin to walk forward and find out what had made that noise. I motioned for her to be quiet as we both moved forward.
We glance around as we are going and Hayley stops me motioning towards one of the microphones. I nod and when she has gotten it we both begin to move forward again.
Hayley swallows loudly showing how nervous she is as we continue around the bar looking let and right for any sign of what ha made that noise as we go on. She jumps out and goes to strike someone with the microphone but I stop her when I see that it is...
''TRENT!' I yell in fright. ''You trying to give us a heart attack.''
He looks at me.
''You have a heart attack,'' he started as he looked up at us from where he had fallen when we had made him jump. ''What about me? You scared me to death Courtney.''
I shook my head and glanced at Hayley.
''Hayley!'' Trent says like he has only just noticed that she is also there. ''You two are here. Why?''
Hayley puts the microphone down and exhales loudly.
''You've seen the sign outside,'' she said to him. ''The one that says 'Hayley's Cyberspace'?''
''I don't think you could miss it,'' I tell him sarcastically.
''Right. Sorry,'' he says and I move forward to help him as he begins to get back to his feet. As I help him I notice at the same time as Hayley that he was sketching something before we made him jump.
''Wow,'' Hayley says moving forward to get a closer look. ''This is... you did this?'' She asked him.
''Yeah,'' he says nodding.
Hayley flips the pad to look at his next few drawings.
''This is really good,'' she tells him nodding her head approvingly.
''They really are Trent,'' I say smiling.
''Thanks,'' he tells us both smiling back at us. We all get up to start preparing for the day.
''So..'' Hayley starts. ''Here's the only question I have.''
''What am I doing here at 7 in the morning instead of at home?'' He said knowing exactly what her question would be.
''Top marks,'' I tell him jokingly.
''That would be the one,'' Hayley says to him as we all start putting the stools down at the bar.
''I came here to draw,'' he explained to the both of us. ''My dad's not exactly supportive of my artistic endeavours.''
''How do you know?'' Hayley asked.
''Well I think his exact words were,'' he began to mimic his dads voice. '' 'Trent... I am in no way supportive of your artistic endeavours.''
''I see,'' I tell him.
''And he doesn't think that it will get me anywhere,'' he says and I feel sorry for him.
''He'll come around,'' Hayley reassured him from behind the bar.
''My dad's a great guy,'' Trent told us. ''But there are some things he won't budge on. This is one of them.''
*Back to action*
I was working when my phone went off. It was Mickaela.
''Hey Hayley,'' I called to my boss. ''Can I take this.''
Hayley nodded. I went to the back and answered my phone.
Courtney: Hi Mickaela.
Mickaela: Hi Courtney nice to hear from you.
Courtney: From your tone of voice something tells me you are not calling me about flowers.
Mickaela: No it's not.
I heard her sigh over the phone. It made me wonder what had happened.
Courtney: What's up Mickaela?
Mickaela: Dad has asked me to phone you before I go out to investigate a strange blast that occurred in the forest.
Courtney: A strange blast?
Mickaela: Yeah it's giving off strange energy signatures and we don't know wether it's good or evil. Maybe your powers can give us a clue.
Courtney: Well I am due for a break I will meet you in half an hour.
Mickaela: Just to let you know I will be bringing a few friends along.
Courtney: A few friends?
Mickaela: You'll see. Bye.
Courtney: OK bye.
After we had ended the conversation I decided to contact dad before I did anything.
''Dad are you there,'' I asked into my morpher.
He answered straight away.
''What's up Courtney?'' He asked sounding a little worried.
''Have you had any weird energy readings on the computer around reefside?'' I asked.
''Actually yeah I have,'' he said. ''I was just about to head and check it out.''
''No I'll go,'' I told him. ''Mickaela has asked me to come and I don't want her knowing I'm a ranger, I'll call you if I find anything.''
''Okay but Courtney...'' he said pausing at the end.
''Be careful,'' he told me.
''Will do,'' I promised.
After I had spoken to Hayley I headed out to meet Mickaela.
*Back to action*
I ninja streaked to the area where Mickaela had asked me too meet her. She was standing there and when I seen who she was with I squealed.
''Tori, Shane, Dustin Mickaela and Hunter,'' I called loudly running over and hugging my friends who I hadn't seen for months as we were all too busy. ''Oh my god how are you guys?''
''We're fine Courtney,'' Dustin said smiling at me.
''Nice to see you after so long,'' Tori said teasing me.
''Yeah, you never call never text,'' Hunter said smirking. ''You forgot about us?''
I elbowed him playfully.
''You'll all have to come to reefside to visit when your not too busy being sensei's,'' I said and then I turned to Hunter. ''How's Blake?''
''He's fine,'' he told me.
I then looked at all of them. ''And Cam, where is he?''
''Right behind you,'' a voice said and I jumped.
''Dude, that's the second time I've nearly had a heart attack today,'' I told Cam who smirked as I hugged him. I then turned to Mickaela. ''So where did that blast come from?''
Mickaela started to lead us in a certain direction and as I got closer I felt a strong pull towards it. It was my sensing power. I could tell that what ever it was it was really powerful. It was so powerful it made me a little nauseous.
''That is pretty powerful,'' I told the others trying to get over the bad feeling. ''Do you guys have any idea what was here?''
''No just some statues that always reminded me of dinosaurs,'' Mickaela said and my eyes widened as I wondered wether it is what I am thinking. I knew I needed to call my dad.
''OK this is what I am going to do,'' I told the others and they all turned to me. ''I am going to try and trace this power but I am going to have to ask you guys to leave, before you argue I will call you if I find anything.''
''Ok,'' Cam said and the others nodded.
''We will talk later,'' Mickaela said. I hugged them all once more and then they all left and I pressed my morpher.
''Dad it's me,'' I said.
''Courtney, did you find anything?'' My dad asked.
''I need you and the other rangers to meet me at my coordinates,'' I told him. ''There's something i need you to see.''
''On it,'' he said and the line closed.
Dad arrived with some sort of scanner and about ten minutes after that Conner, Kira, Leanne and Ethan appeared, why dad was still scanning.
''We came as soon as we could Dr O,'' Conner said and then looked at me. ''How did you find out?''
''Some of my friends told me,'' I said and he nodded.
''What'd you two find?'' Ethan asked.
''Some sort of storage unit,'' dad told them and Leanne looked really confused.
''The energy readings are so intense,'' dad said looking at his device. ''This meter can't register them.''
''And my sensing powers are going haywire from all the energy,'' I told my friends.
''What kind of energy?'' Leanne asked.
''The same kind that's in your morphers,'' dad answered.
''And my source told me that the only things around here were statues,'' I said and they all looked at me. ''Of dinosaurs which cannot be a coincidence.''
My dad nodded.
''Your saying there's a dino gem there?'' Kira said shocked pointing at the crater.
''No Kira,'' I told her. ''What he is saying is that there was a dino gem in there, It's gone now.''
''But there was one,'' dad said nodding.
''I thought you had all kinds of things,'' Leanne said to us. ''That would pick up if there was a gem out here.''
''Someone must have hidden it,'' dad explained.
''And when the cloaking device deactivated, the readings were off the scale,'' I memorised and my dad nodded in agreement.
''So is this good news or bad news?'' Conner asked sceptical.
''Guess that depends on who's got the gem,'' dad said.
It made me worried about if that gem had fallen into the wrong hands, how lethal it could be to us.
*Back to action*
Me dad and Hayley were back at the dino lab when a beeping alerted us to trouble in Reefside.
''Uh Tommy,'' Hayley said and dad approached. ''I think I may have found something.''
We all looked to see a weird sunflower looking monster going through the streets of reefside.
''Unbelievable,'' dad said.
The others appeared and looked at the screen as well.
''Guess we got here just in time,'' Ethan pointed out.
''Any particular reason for that guy?'' Kira wondered.
''It's hard to tell,'' I informed her. ''by the looks of things he's searching for something.''
''Well,'' Conner spoke up and we looked at him. ''It's not gonna like what it finds.''
All of us except dad lined up to morph.
''Ready?'' I asked.
''Ready!''
''DINO THUNDER! POWER UP! HA!''
We finished morphing and I flamed us to where the monster was.
''Where are you?'' It said as we appeared. It didn't seem to be speaking to us though.
''Hey!'' Conner called making the monster turn around.
''Over here!'' I said. ''Is there something we can help you with?''
''Red, blue, yellow, orange, purple...'' the monster was checking our colours. ''No. I'm looking for something in basic white.''
I looked to the others confused when the monster said this.
''Do you have any clue what he's talking about?'' Kira asked us.
''None,'' Conner told her.
''Fire!'' The monster said and I raised a shield that covered all of us and we flipped backwards.
All of a sudden a white blur shot passed us.
''Huh?'' Conner said in confusion.
The blur started to attack the monster and it reminded me of ninja streaking. But this guy/ thing did not fight in the ways of a ninja.
''What's going on?'' the monster asked.
''What's that,'' Conner said as the white blur continued to attack the monster.
''I don't know,'' Kira said.
''No clue,'' both me and Leanne said at the same time.
All of a sudden the monster blew up. The white thing started speeding away.
''OH no you don't,'' I cry, I do a sign and nina streak after the white guy leaving the others behind.
*Back to action*
I stop in a empty street but I can sense the white guys presence.
I start to search and find him.
It was a white ranger. And if my sensing powers were correct he wasn't good.
''Who are you?'' I demanded. He looked over at me.
''I sense power,'' he said but before he can say anything else the others arrived panting.
''I don't see anything,'' Kira comments.
''Uh guys,'' I say making them look around.
''Look harder,'' the white ranger spoke.
''Whoa,'' Kira and Leanne say as they get a good look at the guy in a white uniform with black spikes going in a pattern all over his uniform a little like our white ones.
''Who is it?'' Kira asked amazed.
''And how come he gets the phat helmet,'' Ethan demands.
''Not the time Ethan,'' I tell him.
''This guy a friend of yours Dr. O,'' Conner says into his morpher.
''Never saw him before,'' dad tells him.
''Okay!'' Conner says and I turn to him.
''Conner wait,'' I told him staring at the white ranger. ''I don't trust him.'' I whispered quietly.
''Don't come any closer,'' The white ranger warned. ''You'll force me to do something I don't want to do.''
''And what is that supposed to mean,'' I growled at the white ranger. This guy is really pushing my buttons.
''Let me show you,'' The white ranger said.
He pulled out some sort of weapon.
''White Drago sword,'' he called.
He drawed a bunch of arrows in the air.
''Laser arrows!'' He said. ''Fire!'' He called sending them towards us.
I managed to jump in front of the others and raise a shield that made all of the arrows disintegrate.
''What?'' The white ranger growled.
''You know how many people have tried that,'' I say to him and the others all give me grateful looks as I drop the shield. Unfourtanetly it took a lot out of me to force that much power away from me.
''Was it really necessary to try that?'' Conner asked.
''If your friend hadn't stopped me,'' the white ranger said glaring at me. ''That would have just been a warning.''
''Well I don't take kindly to threats,'' I growled at him again.
The white ranger disappeared without saying anything else
We arrive back at the lab morphed but without helmets and we see my dad and Hayley standing at the computer running tests.
''Hey,'' Leanne says as we walk up to them.
''How's it going?'' Kira asks.
The computer beeped and the white ranger appeared on screen.
''Oh great,'' Ethan says. ''He's back.''
''And looking for more trouble no doubt,'' Kira says.
''Oh if he's looking for trouble,'' I tell her. ''He is gonna find it.''
''You guys better get over there,'' dad says. ''And make sure he doesn't go completely medieval on any civilians.''
We all nod our heads. I flame us to the city again.
*Back to action*
We arrive at the back of the white ranger.
''Hey,'' Conner yells out. ''Back so soon?''
''I thought you made your point last time,'' I snapped at the white guy.
''I've only just started,'' the white ranger said turning to us. ''Want some more.''
We all ran forward to fight this guy. He slashed the others with the drago sword but I managed to block him. I then managed to send a swift kick to his side that made him stumble a little. He then managed to hit me with a punch to the chest that sent me flying.
''Come on,'' he said drawing more arrows. I didn't have time to defend my self before they came flying at us. They hit us this time and we all went flying to the ground. I stumbled while trying to get back to my feet.
''Weaklings," the white ranger spoke again. He then laughed.
He then came speeding at us. My natural powers kicked in and I flamed us all out but he then turned around and quicker then I could flame ran back at us. He drawed crosses on all of our chests and the others ones blew them up sending them back to the ground in agony, mine just faded in an orange flame.
''You know,'' the white ranger said when he noticed me still on my feet. ''You are getting to be a real pain.''
''Good,'' I told him.
''That's gotta hurt,'' he said about the others as I ran over to help them.
''All right what's the deal?'' Conner said clearly in pain. ''We tried to be nice, just extending a little ranger love, and this is what we get?''
''I'm not here to make friends,'' He told Conner.
''Don't worry,'' I snap at him. ''I so don't want to be your friend right now.''
''Then what is it?'' Leanne questioned him. ''What do you want?''
''That isn't something you need to know,'' he told us in a matter of fact tone. ''All that's important right now, is that there are five rangers too many. And I'm here to change that.''
''Go for it,'' I challenged him with a snarl.
We all run forward to fight him. He slashes us with his drago sword. Ethan ducks down to sweep his feet out from under him. He jumps over and lands back on his feet with his back towards us. We regroup and wait for him to make the first move.
He strikes us all again and again we hit the ground.
He laughs. ''That should do it,'' He says happily.
''You think we're just gonna walk away?'' Kira questions.
''Not gonna happen,'' Ethan said pulling out his blaster.
Ethan, Leanne and Kira all fire at the white ranger and it bounces back. I jump in front of them and raise a shield but it is taking too much from me and I know I will not be able to do it again.
''No!'' Conner says.
''All right,'' Leanne said as they all stepped around me.
''Party times over,'' Ethan said in anger.
Dad suddenly appeared and stopped Ethan from shooting.
''Wait! Don't!'' He tells him.
''What's the matter?'' Leanne asks him.
''We don't know what he's capable of,'' dad tells her looking at the white ranger again.
''Dad's right,'' I give my input to my team. '' He's got powers we might not be able to deal with.''
''We don't want to hurt you,'' I scoffed when my dad said this. ''Just tell us why you're here.''
''Why am I here,'' The white ranger said turning to the side. ''Let me see... to defeat you.''
''That does it,'' Ethan said raising his Thundermax sabre. He, Leanne and Kira all run at the white ranger intending to do some damage.
''WAIT! NO!'' Me and dad both yell.
All three of them clash swords and then the white ranger strikes them with his drago sword sending sparks flying. He strikes them again and they all go flying over a building, all of them but the white ranger hit the ground hard.
Me and dad arrived to see both Kira, Leanne and Ethan on the ground demorphed.
''Kira, Ethan! Leanne!'' Dad yells out to them and the white ranger turns to him. I flame out and flame back in next to the other three.
''Bring it!'' The white ranger says to dad.
Dad runs forward Brachio staff in hand and goes to it the white ranger. I am shocked when the staff hits the white rangers morpher and he seems to be draining the power out of my dad. The dino sign on his chest is glowing gold and gold lightning is passing from dad to the white rangers morpher.
''Dad!'' I yell when he hits the ground and demorph's on impact.
I run over to dad and Conner appears to take on the white ranger.
''You ok,'' I ask dad but he is in too much pain to answer.
I watch as Conner knocks the white ranger over and they begin to fight.
''I want some answers now,'' Conner demands from the white ranger. Conner grabs the leg of the white ranger as he goes to kick him and speaks again. ''You're messing with the wrong dude! I'm giving you one last chance!''
The white ranger slashes him with his sword and send him flying into a wall and he demorphs.
''OK! My turn!'' I yell running forward and clashing swords with the white ranger. I kick him and he stumbles backwards.
''You will pay for that!'' He snaps and comes running at me again. I do a pose and ninja streak around him before finally striking him in the chest and he falls to the ground hard.
''I advise you to quit while you are ahead!'' I snarl at him. He comes running at me again and I flame out to infront of my friends. ''You can't outrun me.''
He growled glancing at all of us.
I helped my dad, Ethan, Kira and Leanne work our way over to Conner. They all helped Conner back to his feet as I stood protectively infront of them.
''You all right,'' Leanne asks Conner.
''Yeah,'' he says in pain. ''I think so.''
''You've been warned power rangers,'' the white ranger said pointing his drago sword at us. I was glowering at him. ''Stay outta my way, or be destroyed.''
The white ranger then disappeared leaving the others injured and me with a headache from using such a powerful shield.
''Guy's we've got big trouble,'' dad said gripping Leanne's elbow to keep her steady.
*Back to action*
We were all recovering from the white rangers attack back at the dino lab. All of us rangers were sitting down on the floor.
''It wasn't supposed to go this way,'' Ethan said to my dad. ''Was it?''
''An evil white ranger?'' dad replied. ''No.''
''Of course it's been known to happen before,'' I said thinking of how Hunter, Blake and Mickaela started their ranger journey.
''So, what do we do?'' Kira asked the both of us. I sighed.
''How are we supposed to fight him?'' Conner said.
''When we can't even get near him?'' Leanne inputted.
''I don't care all I do know is that guy is going down!'' I said growling.
''We have to figure out who this is,'' dad answers Conner. ''And what he wants. Before it's too late.''
*Back to action*
