Chapter 12: Truth & Consequences
Naruto was at the park on a bench with Kira who was playing her guitar and singing a song for him. Once she was done and strum her guitar softly she looked at him to see what he thought.
Naruto a smile at this and clapped. "Now that was awesome."
Kira gave a smile "You think so?" she asked.
"Oh come, would I be lying to you." he gave his fox grin making the yellow ranger flush a little red.
"No." she laughed softly making him chuckle.
They were silent for a few seconds till Kira spoke "Thanks for listening to me." Naruto smiled at her
"No problem, I always enjoy you singing, your great." he complimented
Kira blushed at the compliment until she had remembered wanting to ask him something that's been personally bugging her. She took a breath. "Naruto." gaining his attention.
"Yeah?" the former Shinobi looked at her.
"I was just wondering if there was anything between...you and Tori?" the yellow ranger came out with it.
Naruto was taken a little back at this and paused. Was there anything going on between him and Tori? Sure he has helped and taught her about chakra and they have hanged out a lot but...was there anything more?
He was going to answer but his morpher beeped. "Naruto it's Conner, you there?"
He lifted his morpher. "Yeah I'm with Kira at the park what's up?" Naruto asked.
"It's Dr O."Grimly replied the Red ranger Naruto felt a chill down his spine and Kira was wide eye at this. "What happened?" she asked.
"You both gotta see for yourself, come back to the lab."Conner said.
Naruto and Kira got up quickly and rushed.
-Dino Lab-
"Is he okay?" Ethan inquired as Hayley ran the scanner up and down the length of the currently fossilized Doctor Oliver.
Kimberly was being comfort by Kira while Naruto was pacing back and forth in anger.
"This internal scan should be able to tell us what we need." Hayley stated.
"What's the deal? Is he frozen or something?" Conner asked.
"Not exactly, It's more like he's fossilized; fused into this amber-like substance." said Haley as she turn to them
"Can you get him out?" Naruto questioned, hoping for something positive.
"Too risky," Hayley shook her head. "He's able to stay alive in there. But I'd hate to think what would happen if I broke him out."
"This is just a sick joke." Conner said with venom
"Yeah, that White Ranger got a great sense of humor." muttered Ethan
"Personally, I've had enough of him," Kira spat, glancing up at Naruto, who was completely recovered from his injuries after his last fight.
"Let's find out who this guy is and deal with him once and for all, now." Naruto said sternly as his eyes burned with anger, averting his eyes from the worried look Kira sent at him.
Trent stumbled around the outer warehouse building, groaning as pain shot up inside him. His ears rang slightly and he half-tripped on his own foot, leaning against a metal moving container for support.
"I…remember," he stated guiltily as he looked at the White Dino Gem attached to his wrist. Flashes of everything that had happened to him since he'd found the gem went across his mind and he groaned as his body threatened to collapse.
He was snapped back to reality by a faint Ptera Scream in his head and blinked. "This can't be happening," he breathed.
"Maybe Hayley's got some ideas," Ethan stated as he, Kira, Naruto and Conner walked into Cyberspace. They looked up to see the redhead rushing from one end of the counter to the other, passing drinks out left, right and center.
"Looks like she's got her hands full." Naruto said.
"Well, let's hit the streets," Conner suggested. "I mean it's not like the White Ranger's just gonna walk in here!"
Just then Trent pushed past by the group elbowing his way between Naruto and Kira as he walked towards the bar. "Hey, Trent!" Kira greeted him happily.
"Hey…," he replied distantly, continuing on towards Hayley's counter. The yellow Rangers smile dropped and she looked to the floor before walking off to sit at the bar, trying to hide her momentary sadness from her friends.
"He's acting weird," Naruto narrowed his eyebrows while clenching his fist restraining from beating the respect out the boy. An exchanged look from Ethan and Conner as they saw the clench fist. They then followed Kira to sit down.
"Hey!" Trent called over the bustling crowd, catching Hayley's attention.
"Hey, thank goodness, I'm getting slammed here!"
"Hayley, listen, I gotta talk to you."
"Later," she ordered as she walked back towards the Rangers, grabbing a tray of glasses as Trent followed her. "Grab a tray."
"I can't," he shook his head. "I'm quitting."
Hayley faltered and nearly dropped the tray were it not for Naruto hand reaching over the bar to steady it. She flashed a thankful smile her way before going off down the bar, Trent following on the outside edge. "Why? Trouble with your dad again?"
"No," he replied. "It's not that. I just…"
He sighed, seeing as she busily walked back towards the Rangers again, getting their orders while they watched the whole ordeal.
"I just have to quit!" he exclaimed, before sighing again. "I'm sorry."
Leaving Hayley looking hurt and puzzled, he set off towards the door. Frowning, Kira got up from her seat, ignoring the protests Naruto sent after her.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Kira called, catching up to Trent at the door. "You're just gonna bail on Hayley like that?"
"Yeah, I know…it seems sudden."
"Don't you think you owe her some kind of explanation?" Kira inquired, hoping he understood that she wanted one too.
"You don't understand. Kira…something weird's happened. And I feel like if I don't tell someone, my head's going to explode!" angrily said Trent
"Well what is it? You can tell me." softly said Kira
He hesitated, before sighing and opening his mouth to—Cassidy burst in, excusing herself not at all nicely as she stalked through the crowd and up onto stage. Glaring at the back of her head, Kira wished she could use her ptera scream to knock the annoying reporter on her ass.
"I have the scoop of the century!" Cassidy announced, stepping up to the microphone. "And as my faithful core audience, I wanted to share it with you guys first."
"What do you think this is about?" Ethan chuckled.
"Maybe she's decided to run for queen?" Kira suggested, smirking.
"I have uncovered the identity of the one and only White Ranger!" Cassidy cried, and excited murmurs spread through the crowd, Trent's head snapped up, eyes full of worry. The other Rangers however, exchanged glances of pure shock.
How had she managed to get to the White Ranger's identity before they did? And if she knew about the White Ranger, what about them? Did she know about them, too?
"And any minute now my assistant Devin's going to come through that door with video tape evidence!" the blonde onstage pointed towards the door, where some people looked. However, nothing happened. "Any minute…"
Silence settled in the room and the reporter frowned. "Where is he?"
Devin burst through the door, looking around wildly and spotting Cassidy onstage. He waved happily and ran over to her as quickly as possible. "Hey, Cass, I'm here! Sorry, I'm late!"
"So?" she rolled her eyes as he climbed onstage. "Devin, where's your camera?"
"See…that might be just a little problem," Devin sighed.
"Only if you don't have it."
"Hehe…," he grinned sheepishly before leaning in closer to whisper something only Cassidy heard. Cassidy groaned, turning back to the microphone.
"Ladies and gentleman," she began. "It appears that the White Ranger is…"
The suspense in the café was killer, and all Rangers looked high-strung.
"…Taped on a camera that Devin stupidly loaned his sister!" she finished in vain, and everyone in the café groaned, most returning to their previous occupations. "But when he gets it back I'll be sure to let you know!"
"So, Trent…," Kira started, wanting to resume their earlier conversation. "What was it you wanted to…?"
She turned, realizing he was gone, and scanned the café with her eyes, finding no sign of him. She sighed, rolling her eyes as she returned to her spot with the others.
"He bail on you?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah…again…," the musician frowned, shrugging. "Whatever. If he doesn't want to tell me, he just has to say it. He doesn't have to go and…never mind."
"It's happening…again…," Trent moaned, swaying profusely as he clutched the wrist with the Dino Gem. He struggled for control, but it was no use. The Gem glowed as it won the upper hand and he was forced to morph.
"Now, that's better!" the White Ranger smirked, walking around the docks warehouses. A weird sound caught his attention and he glanced left as Elsa and Zeltrax teleported in through a bright flash of swirling green. "Looks like I've got company."
"We have a special invitation for you!" Elsa called. "From Mesagog."
"His only command; join him or be destroyed," Zeltrax added, fists clenched.
"I don't know how many times I have to say it," the White Ranger laughed. "I'm not interested."
"Maybe this will change your mind," Zeltrax growled, sending waves of bright blue electricity in the direction of the Ranger, before he and Elsa drew their weapons and charged. Drago Sword in hand, the White Ranger met them halfway.
He easily dodged Zeltrax's attack, knocking the man away as Elsa came in close with her sword, locking it against the Drago Sword. "Haven't we met?" the Ranger taunted, making her hiss in anger as he twisted her around, flooring her.
He then turned to meet Zeltrax again, parrying all his sword attacks and kicking him in the gut. He slashed him across the chest as well and it sent him flying into a pack of barrels as Elsa ran up, attempting some ninja-karate-anger-management-type on him that basically did nothing before he kicked her backwards into the arms of the newly rising Zeltrax.
"You guys are a joke!" the White Ranger cackled as four other Rangers rode up on Raptor Cycles and glances shifted their way.
"Great, that's all we need!" Elsa muttered.
"Don't look so happy to see us," Naruto commented and had his eye on the White Ranger.
"Uh…this is messed but…whose side do we pick?" Ethan asked seeing the three enemies.
"Good question." nod Conner
"We'll make it easy for you!" Elsa yelled before she and Zeltrax warped out in a flash of green.
"If you had any sense, you'd run too." the White Ranger turned to them.
"After what you did?" Naruto growled, fists clenching and his dragon shield was summoned as was the dagger.
"Dream on!" Kira nodded, summoning her Ptera Grips. Ethan and Conner were first up, Tyranno staff and Tricera Shield in hand as they dueled their enemy.
Unfortunately the White Rangers had blocked the attacks from Conner and had grasped the staff and spun the Red Ranger with extreme force and smashed him into Ethan.
Naruto was next using his Dragon sword since it was in-close fighting. He leapt through the air and clashed swords with the White Ranger. Naruto had been working on his sword skills ever since the dragon sword was made, he had improved much since.
Sparks flew between the Rangers as they exchanged attacks. The White Ranger went for a slash but Naruto blocked it with his dagger and slashed across the Rangers chest three times and kicked him back.
Last came the Yellow Ranger, who held her own for a time even with all the hits she took, barreling into the White Ranger with her Ptera Grips and trying to stab him. As she swung her daggers forward, he blocked them with his Drago Sword, and pushed her in reverse until her back connected with the warehouse wall. Hard.
She cried out, but took the pain as he kept her pinned there and leaned forward. "Had enough?" mocked the Ranger
She looked to her two friends who were lying around hurt and saw Naruto charging at the Ranger, she was tired of being helpless, tired of being weak, her expression turned to fury. "Hardly!" She yelled. "Super Dino Mode!"
The Ptera Scream ripped through the air as the spikes on her uniform grew into realistic versions of the design they'd just been, and as she held her Ptera Grips straight out, leathery wings formed between her sides and underarms.
She swung her arms up, knocking his arms away and kicking him to the ground. As he rolled backwards and pushed himself to his feet, she leapt over him, flapping her leathery wings and wrapping her feet around his neck.
She then proceeded to drag him back, smashing him into every possible object she could find along the way. After a few feet, she dropped him into a stack of barrels and continued on.
"You'll pay for that!" he hissed, getting to his feet and creating arrows in the air. As she flew back his way, he let loose the projectiles luckily Naruto jumped in playing the flute dagger as a green aura shield protecting them.
Conner and Ethan got up having recovered and drew their Thundermax Lasers, they fired two different colored blasts at the White Ranger, who merely with a flick of his wrist with his Drago Sword and sent arrows at them resulting in a explosion knocking them off their feet.
Naruto stepped in. "I've had enough…you have caused enough pain to my friends… and most importantly to my sensei...that's unforgivable!" He yelled, channeling his inner Dino power. "Super Dino Mode!"
The gold spikes on his uniform grew again to large spike around his shoulder and legs. The Dragon shield had the Dino thunder symbol, Naruto summoned out his Velox Talons.
"Here I come." Naruto said charging at insane speed and slashing the Ranger across the chest multiple times causing sparks to erupt.
He then jumped in mid air with his weapons out and came down hard with another slash sending the White Ranger back.
Growling angrily he got up seeing the Green Ranger stop he send a blast of arrows his way that almost took him off his feet but Naruto with the instincts flipped backwards disappearing in a flash. Once down the evil Ranger readied another blast but felt a shot in the back. He turned slowly glaring as he found the Yellow Ranger pointing the laser directly at him.
"You're a little too persistent, and I think it's about time we tone that down a bit," he muttered, creating the biggest volley of arrows he ever had. "FIRE!"
Naruto appeared as he grabbed Kira bridal style and disappeared in green flash just in time as the arrow projectiles hit the ground causing a big explosion.
They appeared behind the Ranger and Naruto set Kira down. "Thanks." she told him.
"No problem now let's take care of this creep." Naruto said getting in his stance still in his Super Dino mode.
"You read my mind." Kira with her Super Dino Mode stance.
Both Rangers charged at the Evil Ranger as did he and they battled out with Naruto going defence and Kira going offence which made it difficult for the Ranger until Naruto and Kira switched it up as they did the opposite.
Naruto manage to land two slashes and the Ranger tried to attack back but with Kira defending that was not happening. They both had side kicked the evil Ranger far back as he landed on his stomach grunting at the pain.
Getting up quickly the Ranger created and sent dozens of arrows to the two but Naruto played his Dagger flute summoning dozens of shuriken which clashed against the arrows creating a small explosion and smoke.
The White Ranger tried to see through the smoke unfortunately out came the smoke was the Yellow Ranger who glided by and quickly slashed making him stumbled back to where Naruto jumped out the smoke landing two slashes sending the Ranger away.
Kira stood next to Naruto. "You still want some?" He taunted
"Cause there's plenty more where that came from." The Yellow Ranger joined
The Evil Ranger stood up as he had enough. "That's it. it's time I finish you two for good." snarled the Ranger as he lifted his sword.
"Huh?" he stopped as Images of Kira and moments she shared with Trent flashed across his mind.
"Kira?" he said soft but enough for her to hear it causing her to frown. That voice sounded familiar while Naruto start to get suspicious at this.
"I…I…Ah!" Trent and the evil White Gem battled for control, and it sent rivulets of pain through his head. He cursed, holding his head, and it was enough for the other two Rangers to gather.
"Ready?" Conner inquired, itching to beat the crap outta this guy.
"Oh yeah!" Ethan nodded, and together the two shouted "Super Dino Mode!"
Naruto watched as the white spikes grew on the uniforms of both boys, the horns on Ethan's helmet grew bigger and sharper, and a glowing red power circled around Conner.
Both boys ran forward while Naruto joined with them, and launched themselves at the disoriented White Ranger, knocking him to the ground. As he stood up slowly, they tag-teamed, kicking and punching and sending sparks flying from the White Ranger's body until one massive explosion of power went off, sending the injured enemy Ranger to his knees.
They all powered out of Super Dino Mode, watching him. "I'll be back!" he swore, before running off. The boys started after him but Naruto put his arm out stopping them as he knew the enemy was far gone
"We'll be waiting!" Naruto lowly growled with his fists clenched, before he, Ethan and Conner powered down. He turned to see Kira who also power downed. He walked to her as the other two followed.
Naruto asked . "You alright?"
"Yeah i'm alright" Kira nodded as she smiled as she looked at where the Ranger disappear and a frown appeared on her face.
"Trent? Is that you?" Kira inquired as she slowly walked towards the small lake clearing, a place she often went to write music or clear her head. The guy sitting on the bench looked up, closing his sketchbook as she sat down beside him. "Hey, where'd you go?"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have just taken off like that," he apologized to her.
"Look, I can't help you if I don't know what's going on." she said in concern.
He sighed, opening his sketchbook to a recent few drawings of the White Ranger.
"Trent," she scoffed. "If you're gonna dream about being a superhero, the White Ranger is not who you wanna be."
"I wish I had a choice!" he exclaimed.
"What are you saying?" she frowned, as fear pounded in her chest. He glanced up from his sketchbook, offering a sad and pain look, before reaching his arm out, revealing the White Dino Gem bracelet on his left wrist.
"You?!" she exclaimed, and as he nodded, her frown turned into a furious glare. "But you almost annihilated me!"
"But I didn't! Look, once I knew it was you—"
She cut him off by standing up quickly, and he reached out to grab her hand and stop her. "Let go of me!" she snapped, wrenching her arm free of his grasp.
one minutes earlier
Naruto wanted to hang out with Kira but the yellow said she was tired after the fight which he couldn't blame her after all that White Ranger is no joke, so deciding if Tori was available which she was they met up and hung out. He was right now taking her to a small lake that he found that was perfect for working on her Water jutsu's.
"Any luck freeing your teacher and finding out that Evil Ranger?" Torrie asked as she recalled him telling her a couple days ago of an appearance of a Evil White Ranger and Tommy being fossilized.
"Nothing yet and we still don't know who this Ranger is but we kicked his sorry ass all over the place today." Naruto remarked with a grin making the former water ninja storm Ranger giggle.
As they were near the lake they heard a conversation.
"Trent," she scoffed. "If you're gonna dream about being a superhero, the White Ranger is not who you wanna be."
"Kira?" Naruto stopped as did Tori and hid behind some trees and checked to see what's going on. When they heard about the White Ranger they're ears perked up.
"Who's that guy?" quietly Tori asked
"Trent, he works or use to work at Hayley's Cyberspace."Naruto answered low
"I wish I had a choice!" he exclaimed.
Naruto's eyes narrowed at the tone, something was not right.
"What are you saying?" Kira frowned
The two had saw Trent showing Kira something.
"You!?" outloud Kira said,
Tori eyes went wide at this while Naruto fist clenched making his knuckles pop, he should have known.
"But you almost annihilated me!" she shouted in anger
"But I didn't! Look, once I knew it was you—" Trent tried to explain.
She cut him off by standing up quickly, and he reached out to grab her hand and stop her. "Let go of me!" she snapped, wrenching her arm free of his grasp.
Naruto was about the step out the tree but Tori saw this and told him to wait and to listen more.
"Kira, I couldn't help it!" he told her. "The Gem…it's changed me. I can't take it off or control what I'm doing. You gotta believe me…"
He stepped closer to her, but she shook her head slightly, keeping her distance. "Why should I?"
"Because I would never intentionally hurt anyone, Kira," he sighed, his voice full of sadness and regret. "Especially you."
Naruto scoffed silently at the last statement.
"Okay," she gave in, because the tone of his voice and the pained look on his face struck chords in her heart. "I think I know some people who can help…I'm gonna get Conner, Naruto and Ethan
"Why them?" he asked with a frown.
"Well…because…," she trailed off, hoping it was obvious.
"Wait a minute, them too?" he asked in surprise
"Hard to believe, but true." she nodded. "Look, I need you to wait here till I come back!" she said
"Okay," he promised, before she ran off. Naruto and Tori hid as Kira ran by them.
Naruto grabbed Tori shoulder and disappeared in a Green flash appearing somewhere around. "Looks like we found our white Ranger." He said.
"But you heard him, he said he wasn't in control, do you think he's telling the truth?" Tori asked him.
Naruto was pondering about this, he's had dealt with people being controlled so many times that he can know if they are lying or not. But with Kira thrown in the situation this makes it more difficult.
"Honestly i'm not sure, never have I heard a Ranger being controlled by their own power, but at the same time there's more to these gems." Naruto looked at his own.
"Personally I think you should help him, but even so you should keep your eye on him too." she suggested as she knows how Naruto feels knowing someone you know turns out to be an evil Ranger take it from her.
Naruto nod "Yeah that's what I was thinking that too, I better head back to the lab. Do want a ride home?"
She shook her head. "I'm alright I can use the walk."
Naruto gave a fox smile "Alright then, Tomorrow here at noon?" he asked her. She nod and walked up to him and did something he did not expect.
She gave a kiss to his cheek.
Naruto did not expect that from her, but it felt...nice, real nice.
He tried to not give a goofy grin but it failed, he soon teleported away before he looked more like an idiot.
Trent sighed, hoping Kira's words were true and that the others would help him. He had a feeling that at least one wouldn't be too pleased to accept and he figured that Naruto would probably never trust him again after that last battle where he'd been so set upon taking Kira out as the White Ranger.
He set to work on another sketch to clear his head, when a net came crashing down over him and he was pulled to his feet by a horde of Tyrannodrones. The bench fell over and his sketches went flying to the ground as he was pulled further away.
"What do you want?" he yelled. "Let go of me!"
The Tyrannodrones flashed away with Trent in a green portal
-At the Lab-
Naruto came down the stairs and saw Kira talking to the boys telling them about Trent being the Evil Ranger.
"Trent?" Ethan frowned. "Oh, there's no way!"
"What's this about Trent?" Naruto asked pretending to be clueless
"Turns out our so call friend is the White Ranger." grimly said Ethan.
"Nice" Naruto scoffed, coming up to the group. "Pretending to be our friend one minute, and kicking our butts the next! I can't believe I didn't see it sooner!"
"I told you, he can't help it!" Kira protested, frowning at Naruto's newfound hatred for Trent. "The Gem is too powerful."
"Stop defending him!" Naruto snapped, his eye blinked red back to blue, pointing over her shoulder. "Kira, where is in your head? Look at what he did to Sensei!"
She winced at his attitude, before turning to see the fossilized Black Ranger a little ways away. She turned back to her friends, seeing a look of disappointment on Ethan's and Conner face and the anger on Naruto's. Instead she turned to the redhead standing with them. "Hayley?" she inquired. "He needs our help.
"I don't know if there's anything I can do," she sighed. "But I'll try."
The redhead turned towards the staircase, followed by Kira, and the other three Rangers. When Kira threw them a look, Naruto merely scoffed. "What, you think we're not coming along? I've got some stuff I'd like to say to that guy."
"Us too," Conner and Ethan nodded, but Naruto's statement held aggression.
"He was supposed to wait right here!" Kira exclaimed as they ran up to the lake clearing, spotting the overturned bench. She found the sketchbook and picked it up, examining it.
"There's a surprise," Ethan muttered. "He lied to us again."
Naruto stepped up to the Yellow Ranger. "Kira, I'm telling you; Trent can't be trusted," he stated, and she looked up from the book to the worried and pleading face of the Green Ranger. Indecision was etched on her face.
"I'm picking up White Ranger signal!" Hayley called, and the four Rangers dispersed around the Ranger Base ran to the computer, watching intently over her shoulder. They saw the White Ranger jump on screen and call forth the Dragozord and StegaZord, jumping into them to form the Dino Stegazord.
"Great, major Megazord action right off the bat," Ethan groaned.
"Well, this might be a good time to use a new Dinozord," Hayley stated.
"Let's do it!" Naruto nodded and he, Ethan and Conner got into formation, an uncertain Kira following them. Conner and Ethan raised their morphers at the ready, Naruto turned his Yellow teammate. "Look, Kira, we've gotta do whatever it takes to stop him…you know that, right? He needs to be stopped, no matter what"
"I know," she sighed.
"Even if you know who's under that suit now?" Naruto inquired, meeting her hazel eyes with his Blue ones.
"I don't like it, but we don't have a choice," Kira nodded, seeing the determination and sympathy that his eyes demonstrated, even if moments ago they'd been filled with anger and frustration. "I'm with you."
"Alright," he stated, He returned to formation, he raised his morpher. "Ready?"
"Ready!" the others nodded.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP! HA!"
The Rangers ran across the open parking lot, rushing towards the Zords Hayley had manually called forth. Spotting their Biozords they jumped into the air quickly forming the Megazord.
Naruto didn't didn't join as he summoned his Dagger "I need Dragonzord power." He played the dagger.
Near the ocean a pair of glowing red eyes travelled through the bubbling water, soon the Dragonzord roarded as it rose out of the deep and whipped its drill tail.
Naruto jumped on a high building playing the dagger as the Dragonzord stood by the megazord
The two zords and the Dino Stegazord faced one another from opposing ends of the street, Hayley sent the Ankylozord to the battle.
"A new Dinozord, huh?" the White Ranger inquired. "I'll add it to my collection."
"I don't think so!" Conner yelled, and both Megazords marched towards the Auxiliary Zord in the middle, rushing to get there first. The Dino Stegazord grabbed the tail, and the Megazord held the head, pulling towards one another.
"Time to use some fire power" Naruto played a note on the flute dagger. the red lights on the Dragonzord chest blinked making beeping noises and out the fingertip were ten rockets that shot at the Stegazord making it let got of the Ankylozord.
As the Zord got out of the way, the Megazords rushed forward to clash with one another. Sparks flew between both Zord formations as hits landed all over.
As his friends steered the Megazord to battle the Dino Stegazord, Naruto grabbed his morpher. "Come on buddy, work with me we can kick major ass." he concentrated
The Ankylozord's eyes flashed and it thundered forward when the Megazord fell to the ground. It raised it's tail and fired off a powerful laser that smashed into the Dino Stegazord, knocking it back a few paces.
"Awesome!" Naruto exclaimed as the Megazord got to its feet. "Alright guys I think our little orange buddy is on our side!"
"Well then, let's see what he can do," Ethan nodded.
"Take it away guys Ankylozord, weapon formation!" Naruto called.
The small orange Zord bounded forward, molding itself into the Megazords formation. It replaced the Triceratop arm, creating a large spear-like arm with a sharp spinning disc at its side.
When the Dino Stegazord fired off lasers at them, Naruto directed the Ankylozord arm to block it, the spinning disc acting like a reflective mirror as the lasers bounced off and were sent back from whence they came, smashing into the Dino Stegazord.
Naruto continued the assault as he played the Dagger making the Dragonzord charge at the Mega Stegazord whipping it's tails striking twice with the drill tip and a kick sending it back.
As it faltered through the explosions and sparks, the Megazord ran forward, spearing it with the Ankylozord arm, then the Tyrannozord arm. "Thundersaurus Megazord! Double Drill Attack!" the team exclaimed
Both the Tyrannozord arm and the Ankylozord arm were thrust into action again, spinning faster and faster as they were smashed against the Dino Stegazord. Electricity sparked between the weapons as they battered their opponent, until one final hit from the Ankylozord arm was all it took to send the Dino Stegazord into the ground.
"Don't think this is over!" the White Ranger vowed as his Megazord broke apart into the two separate pieces and he, along with his Zords, vanished.
Naruto was at Haley Cyberspace with Tori.
"Thought I might see you two here." Naruto heard and looked to see Ethan and Conner
"I though Kira would be here, where is she?" Naruto asked them.
"At home, she said after the whole fiasco with the White Ranger being Trent-" Conner was cut off as Ethan elbowed him in the ribs and pointed at Tori.
"Tori knows." Naruto answered surprising them.
"How?" Ethan asked.
Naruto and Tori sat on some couches as did the guys across and explained to them about him and Tori accidently listening in between Kira and Trent.
"So what are we going to do?" Ethan asks.
"If we see him we contact each other." Naruto said.
"Then what?" Conner questioned.
"We question him..find out if he's telling the truth."
"And If he's not?" the Red Ranger said.
"The we'll have to be prepared." Solemnly Naruto said
Kira sighed, watching the family of ducks bob for food in the lake. She held one of Trent's White Ranger drawings in her hands, and stared at it intently, wishing that it could all be a nightmare, just a horrible dream that had never happened.
"I thought I might find you here," a voice said and she turned to see Trent standing there, smiling a little sadly.
"Why didn't you wait for me?" she questioned.
"I did, it's just…it's a long story," he stated, looking down at the drawing she held. "You know it's funny – I always thought it would be cool to be a superhero. But…this isn't how I'd draw myself."
"Look, let us help you," she stated, but he shook his head.
"I don't think the others wanna help me Kira," he sighed. "After what I did… all the pain I cause and put you through, do you honestly think your friends wanna help me?"
"Ethan and Conner do," Kira told him. "Ethan doesn't wanna lose a friend, and Conner wants to make things right."
"And Naruto?" Trent chuckled darkly. "I'm sure he doesn't wanna help. I'm pretty sure he'd rather have me permanently transform into the Evil White Ranger so he can beat the crap outta me for trying to hurt you."
"Don't say that!" Kira scolded.
"It's the truth!" he shouted
"Naruto's not one to never hold a grudge..it might take him some time, but I think he'd be fine with helping you get rid of the White Ranger. I know he would."
"You sure about that?" he inquired, looking her in the eyes.
"I…I…," she stammered. "Maybe he does but…I know that he'll just have to deal with it. I'll talk him out of this hatred, you watch."
"No…I can't," Trent shook his head. "The Gem's already taken over just like he said."
"Who?" she frowned, aware that Naruto hadn't said such a thing yet.
"It doesn't matter. I have to go away. It's not safe to be around me."
"But—"
"Look, I said no!" he yelled, snatching the drawing from her hands and walking off. He tossed the drawing into the water and left, leaving an emotionally hurt and broken Yellow Ranger to watch him go.
