Title: Prehistoric Storm
Summary: A tug of war begins between the humans and a mutant dinosaur named Mesogog for the control for Earth. It is now up to Power Ranger legend Tommy Oliver to stop him. With the help of three high school students and a reluctant Ninja student he just might be able to succeed.
"Drago zord, show these fools what you can do," the White ranger commanded, jumping from the beak of the bird and landing on the ground.
Meanwhile the Drago zord flapped its wings and cawed loudly to the skies, the force of its beating wings caused mass destruction to the surrounding area and almost sent the Megazord off its feet.
"Hey, no need to get crazy," Connor said, as he and the others forced the Megazord to remain on its feet.
Taking to the skies, the Drago zord flew around the Megazord, attacking it within sequence.
"We need help!" Aliyah yelled as the Megazord continued to get thrashed. A roar broke through the ruckus and the rangers looked up to see the Stegosaurus lumbering towards them, it glowed purple for a moment, before joining forces with the Drago zord and forming its own Megazord.
"He stole the Stego!" Connor cried.
"What?" Kira exclaimed.
"Whoa..." Ethan breathed in amazement.
Aliyah's eyes narrowed. "Great! Now he's got his own Megazord!"
"Not bad for a new guy, eh?" the White ranger asked from his cockpit.
"Why are you doing this?" Kira asked. "You're losing it!"
"No, you're losing it," the White ranger answered. "And you're losing it to me!"
"Not going to happen!" Aliyah growled, lifting the Parasauzord up and catching the White ranger's weapon as he slashed at them. "Tricera fist!" she added, punching out with Ethan's zord. "I am beyond pissed off! If you knew what was good for you, you'd take a hike before things seriously start going wrong!"
The White ranger remained standing in front of them.
Aliyah shrugged. "It's your funeral," she growled, disengaging the Parasauzord and replacing it with the Tyranno tail. "Tyranno drill! Full power!"
The tail end of Connor's Zord slotted into view and started to spin wildly. But was intercepted by the Dino-Stego Zords primary weapon. It hit the Megazord full force in the stomach causing it to break apart into four separate Zords, and the rangers to be ejected.
"Brutal," Kira gasped.
"You're telling me!" Ethan agreed.
"Kira, Connor," Tommy yelled running over. "Ethan, Aliyah, are you guys alright?"
Aliyah shrugged him off as she pushed herself back to her feet and glared up at the White ranger, she was beyond furious, her hands were clenched tightly into fists and they were shaking for all that she was worth.
"Now I'll take the rest of the Zords," the White ranger said.
"Not going to happen!" Aliyah shouted. "White Tiger Zord!"
There was a split second before a roar cut through the tense atmosphere and the Dino Rangers turned to see a White tiger bounding towards the Drago Megazord. Tommy let out a small gasp of surprise at the familiarity that struck him, while Aliyah leapt from the ground and landed inside the cockpit. "White Tiger sabre... engaged! Warrior mode, Activate!"
"Welcome back, Aliyah," Saba growled as he slotted into place and the zord transformed into its warrior mode.
Aliyah landed protectively in front of the fallen Dino Zords as the White ranger stepped back involuntarily, most likely from the surprise counter-attack of the Platinum ranger. He had not been expecting to see a second Megazord in their possession.
"I told you to run while you had the chance," Aliyah said. "But you chose to ignore my warning... Now... now you're going to wish you never met me! Tiger Zord, lightning strike!" she yelled, firing several lightning bolt-energy blasts at the White ranger opposite her. "Lightning energy orb!" she twirled the Megazords sabre in a full circle and slashed across the Drago-Stego zords stomach.
The Megazord twitched and the Stegozord broke apart, lumbering back towards the Brachiozord as the rangers cheered from the ground.
"Yeah!"
"Good job!"
"You'll pay for that," the White ranger warned, before flying off allowing the rangers to breathe a sigh of relief as Aliyah rejoined them.
"Nice one, Ali," Ethan said, nudging her shoulder.
Aliyah nodded. "Thanks. But I highly doubt it will last," she sighed. "The White ranger's powers over the Stego are too strong; I was only able to separate them because I used my anger as a weapon..."
"Aliyah, how do you have the White Tiger Zord?" Tommy asked, suddenly confused on what his old Zord was doing in Reefside. "It was destroyed ten years ago!"
"It's a long story," Aliyah said.
~*Prehistoric Storm*~
"This was the worst day ever," Connor said, sighing heavily. He was back in the Dino Lab with the others, each of them recovering from their battle with the White ranger and Aliyah had managed to calm herself right down, although that had started to happen the moment the Drago zord and its owner had flew off.
"Brutal," Ethan nodded.
"You know this is worse than the time that I had to fight Metropolis alone because the others fell straight into his trap and let him steal their powers," Aliyah said, resting her head on her arm as she curled up in Dr. O's computer chair, she was small enough to lay in the seat and rest her head on its arms. Her head was pounding and lying down was the only way to make it easier.
"There's going to a lot of days like this, guys," Tommy sighed as he walked past.
"Uh, what ever happened to the glass is half full?" Kira asked.
"Sometimes it's not," Tommy shrugged. "Sometimes it's empty! But that's when you've got to dig deep, that's when the qualities that made you guy's rangers become most important!"
Connor nodded. "You're right. But what can we do?" he asked.
"Go have a little fun," Tommy told them, adding to their confusion. "Ethan, isn't there a new video game you wanna check out?"
"I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but... I have no desire to go near a computer!" the blue ranger admitted.
"I know what you mean," Kira nodded in agreement. "I haven't picked up my guitar in days!"
Aliyah nodded. "The only thing I want right now is two painkillers," she complained, closing her eyes against the bright lights within the Dino Lab. "This headache is killing me!"
"There is some upstairs in the kitchen," Tommy said.
"Thanks," Aliyah smiled, rolling back to her feet, pausing to regain her senses and then disappearing up through the opening into Dr. O's kitchen.
Tommy nodded and turned back to the others. "Go on," he instructed nodding towards the exits. "Grab Aliyah on your way... teacher's orders!"
The three teenagers left, sighed heavily, got to their feet and disappeared up into the kitchen after the Platinum ranger, missing the worried expression on Tommy's face as he expected the worst was to come.
~*Prehistoric Storm*~
"I thought you were in Reefside today?" Cam asked, as he took a seat beside Aliyah on the beach in Blue Bay Harbour. The Lightning Ninja sighed and nodded, she was dressed in her surfing gear and her surfboard was left abandoned on the sand beside her. "What's going?" the samurai asked, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her towards him.
Aliyah smiled at his ability to read her. "Nothing," she lied, leaning into his chest. "I just got a lot on my mind!"
"Ali," Cam said. "I know when something's wrong... I've been able to tell for a while now. You're not normally this quiet and you don't usually abandon surfing! So, what's going on? Did something happen?"
"You could say that,"
"Then tell me!"
Aliyah sighed again and looked up at him. It had been almost two weeks since the Kylee Styles incident and also two weeks since she had told him the truth about her new 'secret identity' to say he had been surprised would have been an understatement, shocked and maybe slightly confused would have been a better judge of character, considering she didn't want the Ranger powers the first time.
"There's a new power player in Reefside," she admitted after a short pause. "The White Ranger!"
"And you're angry he has your colour?" Cam frowned.
Aliyah scoffed. "That's not even half it," she answered. "I can deal with being the Platinum ranger... I would prefer if I could stick to my usual colour, but Platinum isn't half bad. But the fact that this new guy..." she trailed off, unable to put her thoughts into words and the mere mention of the White ranger caused anger to bubble up inside her, enough to make her shake and Cam to draw her closer.
"Hey," he whispered. "It's okay!"
"He's worse than Hunter and Blake, Cam," she cried. "I've never met anyone like him! One minute we're doing fine and the next he turns up and everything is thrown out the window! I don't know what it is about him... he just makes me so mad... and he gets under my skin quicker than Hunter does... did..." she sighed, as Cam chuckled at her loss for words. "You know what I mean!"
"I think," said Cam, kissing her shoulder as she played with the fingers on her one hand. "That you're looking too far into this..."
"Cam, he destroyed our Megazord without a second glance," Aliyah protested. "He tried to kidnap our Zords and he probably would have had I not initiated the White Tiger Zord sequence. If I hadn't let him get so far under my skin the Dino Zords wouldn't be safe! I'm not looking too far into this... I just need to know how to stop him!"
Cam nodded. "I take it you don't know who he is?"
"No," Aliyah said, shaking her head. "But I sorta think that is a good thing right now!"
The Samurai nodded, he didn't want to think about what Aliyah would do to the civilian version of the White ranger.
"I just wish things would go back to the way they were," Aliyah muttered, resting her head on his shoulder. "My life was much less complicated back then!"
"Back then we didn't know each other," Cam pointed out. "We wouldn't have each other..."
"We'd still meet," Aliyah smiled. "If it was destined for us to be together then fate would have made it happen..." she glanced up at him. "I'm sure of that!"
Cam matched her smile and then reached in to kiss her; Aliyah responded instantly, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and relocating herself so that she was sitting in his lap, facing him. This was one of the few times that they were alone together -despite being in a public setting-, and they were going to make the most of it, before something or someone interrupted them.
~*Prehistoric Storm*~
"Hi," Kira said as she appeared behind Tommy, who had been working at the computer in the Dino Lab.
"Kira," Tommy blinked, more than surprised to see the Yellow ranger.
"That whole kid-fun-thing?" Kira asked. "Kinda tough when the fate of the world is hanging in the balance!"
"I should've known you were going to have a tough time with that," Tommy sighed.
"She's not the only one," Ethan said, as he appeared beside his fellow team-mate and leaned on the desk. But before anyone could say anything, the computer beeped, alerting them to trouble in the city.
"I'm bigger and badder and rougher and tougher! Hope you're ready, Rangers!" the newly reformed Angor taunted.
"Good timing, guys," Tommy sighed. "I just hope Connor and Aliyah aren't having too much fun!"
As soon as the words left his lips the screen changed, showing Connor, already morphed, his suit smoking at random intervals.
"Hey, Dr. O, i'm in trouble here!" he called, rolling away from his attacker, and those at the Dino Lab were able to catch a short glimpse of the White ranger on the screens.
"Hang on, Connor, I'll send you some backup," Tommy said.
"I'm on it," Ethan nodded.
"Okay, Kira, looks like it's up to you, me and Aliyah to deal with this guy!" Tommy said, looking at the yellow ranger, who nodded. "Let's do it!"
The three fell into formation.
"Dino Thunder, Power Up! Ha!"
After they morphed, Ethan took off on his Raptor cycle and Dr. O contacted Aliyah.
~*Prehistoric Storm*~
Aliyah sighed as her morpher beeped several times, she was still at the beach with Cam, and felt better now than she had all day.
"If it's the White ranger," she sighed, answering the call. "You can find someone else... because I am tired of being a rag doll!"
"Ethan and Connor are dealing with the White Ranger," Kira answered. "But Angor's back... Dr. O and I need help!"
Glancing at Cam, who nodded for her to go ahead, Aliyah sighed. "I'm on my way!" she said, pushing herself to her feet and turning back to the Samurai, but before she could say anything, Cam cut her off.
"Just be careful," he muttered. "And remember... your anger doesn't control you, you control it!"
Aliyah nodded before hurrying off to a secluded part of the beach, before switching to ninja-streak and streaking all the way back to Reefside.
~*Prehistoric Storm*~
By the time Aliyah reached the battlefield, Dr. O and Kira were firing their Thundermax strikers at the giant Anchor as the Auxiliary zords, minus the Stegozord, that had disappeared the moment she arrived, attacked hitting just about every inch of the monsters body causing sparks to fly.
"You made it," Kira said, as Aliyah morphed and fired her own laser at the monster.
"Yeah," Aliyah nodded. "Sorry if i'm a little late - hey, where did the Stego disappear too?"
Kira shook her head. "I don't know it was here a second ago!"
"That's weird," Tommy muttered.
"Totally!" Aliyah agreed, thinking he was talking about the Stegozord.
Tommy blinked. "Oh, no, not that, although the Stegozord disappearing at will is strange," the Black ranger nodded. "But I meant that -"
He pointed at the empty space where the Anchor monster had once stood.
Kira and Aliyah lowered their weapons as the Auxiliary zords returned to the Brachiozord. "Where'd he go?" the two girls questioned, looking around at their teacher.
"Something's not right," Tommy said, looking at them.
"Where are the others?" Aliyah asked.
Kira paused. "They went after the White ranger... more like the White ranger targeted Connor... they're at the rock quarry on the otherside of town!"
"Why is it always a rock quarry?" Aliyah questioned, running off. "C'mon! Maybe they know something!"
Tommy and Kira nodded, following after her.
~*Prehistoric Storm*~
"Hey, they're fighting each other!" Connor exclaimed as he and Ethan watched Angor appear in front of the White ranger's Megazord, across the water from the dock.
Angor growled and shot chains around the Dino Stegozord, which struggled as Dr. O, Aliyah and Kira arrived behind the two boys.
"Hey!" Kira greeted.
"We got here as soon as we could," Tommy nodded.
"Are you okay?" Aliyah asked, patting Connor on the shoulder.
The red ranger nodded. "Yeah. Thanks!"
Angor was confident that his chains were wrapped tightly and pulled them tighter as the Dino Stegozord's mechanisms creaked loudly.
"Oh, you got me," the White ranger chuckled, darkly, but a second later the Megazord began to glow white and the chains exploded.
"Oh no!" Angor groaned as his opponent leapt through the air, swinging the sword made from the Stegozord's tail. As Angor recoiled, the White ranger set up another attack from his Zord, this time using lasers to blast the monster.
"Dino Stegozord! Tail attack!"
The white ranger leapt into the air, spun over and slashed the tail of his zord down across the monster causing sparks to explode.
"Dino Stego-laser!" the white ranger commanded, firing lasers from his eyes and obliterating the monster.
"That's got to hurt," Connor commented.
"Whoa..."
"Ow,"
Aliyah winced as she watched Angor topple over onto his stomach and explode. "What's this guy's freaking deal!" she yelled.
"I told you," the White ranger called from his Megazord. "I don't work for anyone!"
~*Prehistoric Storm*~
"I don't get it," Kira sighed as she stood in front of her team-mates back in the Dino Lab. "One minute the White ranger is fighting us... then the next he's blowing up Mesogog's freak!"
"Whoever he is, he could definitely use an anger management course," Ethan shrugged.
"Hey! I take anger management..." Aliyah said.
"The way you reacted to day," Ethan nodded. "I can see why!"
The Platinum ranger smirked. "Get used to it, Ethe, because the longer the White ranger is around, the more i'm going to lose control like that!"
The Blue ranger groaned in annoyance. "Why can't this guy just take a hike already?" he complained, in truth he had been slightly scared when Aliyah lost it earlier, he had never seen her - or anyone for that matter - lose complete control like Aliyah had.
"So, Dr. O, what was with that whole 'super-dino-power' thing?" Connor asked, easing the conversation in a different direction.
"Look, you guys have only just begun to access your fullest potential," Tommy explained.
"I like the sound of that," Ethan said, exchanging an excited grin with Aliyah.
"I'm going to the warehouse and get that fossil finder we left," Connor decided, turning to the Platinum ranger. "Need a ride back to Blue Bay?"
"If it's on your travels," Aliyah nodded. "Thanks."
Connor nodded.
"It is okay, Connor," Tommy interrupted. "You take Aliyah home and then head home and get some rest yourself, that goes for you two too," he added to Ethan and Kira. "I'll get the fossil finder!"
"Thanks," Connor nodded, and they turned around, heading out of the lab. "I still don't know if Trent's alright," the red ranger muttered. "I left a message..."
"I'm sure he's fine," Kira soothed, but Connor sighed, still unconvinced.
