Chapter 10: Gaming For Gold
Alan was sitting in the backroom of the lab working on one of the Ranger's Dinocoms. Alan sat the Dinocom down on the table and looked over at the Ptera Charger lying on the table.
"We can't let what happened last time happen again," Alan said to himself. "We need to get to the Ptera Zord before Sledge,"
Alan then inserted the Dino Charger into the Dinocom and closed it.
"Please work," Alan said as he turned on the Dinocom.
Sparks shot out of the Dinocom and caused Alan to quickly let go of it. The Dinocom fell onto the table and turned off.
"Crap!" Alan said in frustration as he took his safety goggles off. "It still needs work,"
Alan rose out of his chair and walked out of the room. Keeper looked over at the door and saw Alan walk out of the backroom.
"Has this project improved?" Keeper asked Alan.
"No, nothing," Alan said in disappointment a she sighed.
Alan sat down at his computer and turned it on.
"I don't know why it's not working," Alan told Keeper. "But I can't stop working until I have this thing completed,"
"Alan, get some rest and then continue tomorrow," Keeper said to Alan.
"I guess you're right," Alan said as he got up.
Alan then began walking towards the exit.
"I'll see you tomorrow," Alan said to Keeper as he walked out of the lab.
Keeper quietly walked out of the room as the lights turned off.
The next day, Tyler walked into the police department going in for work. Tyler walked into the lobby and saw Pete standing at the board on the wall.
"Hey, come check this out," Pete said to Tyler.
Tyler walked over to Pete and sighed.
"What is it this time?" Tyler asked Pete.
"This teen boy has been missing for a few weeks," Pete said to Tyler as he pointed at the poster. "The mother came in here about two days after he went missing and filed a report,"
Tyler looked at the flier on the board and noticed that it was Alex on the board.
"Why didn't you show me this when the report was filed?" Tyler asked Pete.
"The commissioner wanted people to cease working on it," Pete told Tyler.
Tyler grabbed the flier off the board.
"Well, I'm going to take over this one," Tyler said to Pete.
"But, what about that sketchy company opening up here next year?" Pete asked Tyler.
"You'll be fine by yourself," Tyler said to Pete as he walked to the back.
Pete then sighed.
"I'd rather work on that case about that lion-man people have been seeing," Pete said to himself.
Nathan walked into the lab and saw Dante and Sam sitting in the main room. Nathan looked over at Alan's computer and saw that he was gone.
"I see that Alan is still working on that zord tracker," Nathan said to Dante and Sam.
"Yeah, he's been in there all morning according to Keeper," Sam told Nathan as she was fiddling with her Energem.
"He'll get it done, I know he will," Dante said to Nathan and Sam.
"Well, hopefully he does soon, because I don't want to think about Sledge's crew getting to another zord before us," Nathan said to Dante as he sat down.
The doors to the backroom slowly slid open as the Rangers looked towards the back of the room. Alan walked out of the room with the Dinocom in his hand.
"This is probably the best I can do for now," Alan said to Nathan as he walked up to him.
"Awesome, now we can find the Ptera Zord," Nathan said as he took the Dinocom from Alan.
"That depends on how quick you can get to the area," Alan told Nathan.
"What do you mean?" Dante asked Alan as he walked up.
"The Ptera Charger can't stay charged for long without the Gold Energem," Alan told Dante and Nathan. "Without a Charger powering the tracker, it's not going to lead you to anything,"
"Well, we better conserve as much of the charge as we can then," Nathan said to Alan.
Alan then pulled out the Ptera Charger.
"This is our only Ptera Charger for now, so please be careful with it," Alan said to Nathan as he handed him the Charger.
"I will, don't worry," Nathan said to Alan as he nodded.
Fury was sitting the woods alone as the wind began gently blowing. Fury then rose to his feet and snarled.
"The time has come for me to find that Energem I had in my grasp many years ago," Fury said to himself as he began walking away.
Talon Ranger walked out from behind a tree and stepped out in front of Fury.
"So, you've been hiding something from the rest of us?" Talon Ranger asked fury. "You know where another Energem is,"
"I don't know exactly where since it has been hundreds of years, but I know it's still in that area," Fury said to Talon Ranger.
"You're not going after that Energem on your own," Talon Ranger told Fury. "I'm going with you,"
"No, I have something else for you to do," Fury said to Talon Ranger as he walked by him.
"And what's that?" Talon Ranger asked Fury.
"Wrench has one of the prisoners ready to assist you on the ship," Fury told Talon Ranger. "You need to find the Ptera Zord before those other Rangers do,"
"And how is this random prisoner going to help me?" Talon Ranger asked Fury.
"He's not, he'll only be a distraction," Fury said as he walked away while chuckling.
Talon Ranger then groaned in frustration.
"Fine, I'll find that zord and use it for myself when I do," Talon Ranger said to himself as he walked away.
Tyler stepped out of his car and began walking towards the high school as someone came out the door.
"Can I help you?" The man asked Tyler.
"Hey Principal Patterson, do you have a second?" Tyler asked the Principal.
"Is something wrong?" Principal Patterson asked Tyler.
"Well, one of Angel Grove's students has been missing for a few weeks," Tyler told Principal Patterson. "I just wanted to know if you had anything on this,"
"If I remember correctly, it's that Moran boy," Principal Patterson said to Tyler.
"Yeah, that's him," Tyler said as he nodded.
"He hasn't been to school at all this year," Principal Patterson told Tyler. "It's quite odd; he was one of our top players on the football team last year,"
"I would tell you to go talk to Coach Freeman about summer practice but he was injured when the school was attacked," Principal Patterson told Tyler. "I'm sure he's at home though,"
"Alright, I guess I could go and talk to him then," Tyler said to Principal Patterson as he turned away.
"Good luck on finding that boy," Principal Patterson said to Tyler as Tyler got into his car.
Tyler then drove away from the school as Principal Patterson sighed.
Talon Ranger walked into the main room of Sledge's ship where Wrench was waiting on him with one of the prisoners. The prisoner picked up a chess piece and moved it across the board as he began snickering.
"Checkmate!" The prisoner shouted as Wrench gasped.
"That's not fair, I think you cheated!" Wrench said to the prisoner as Talon Ranger walked up to the table.
Talon Ranger quickly knocked the table over and grabbed Wrench by the shoulder.
"This is the prisoner you want me to take to Earth?" Talon Ranger asked Wrench.
"Yes, and Fury told me what's going on," Wrench said nervously to Talon Ranger.
Talon Ranger then looked over at the prisoner.
"He looks weak," Talon Ranger said to Wrench as he shoved him back to his chair. "I don't want to work with a weakling like him.
"Who're you calling weak?" The prisoner asked Talon Ranger. "I've heard that you have gotten your butt kicked plenty of times by the Rangers,"
Talon Ranger quickly pulled out his morpher and fired a blast past the prisoner's face. The prisoner froze in horror as Wrench walked up behind Talon Ranger.
"Easy, Puzzler might look weak, but he can outsmart those Rangers with ease," Wrench said to Talon Ranger.
"Yeah, I can put them in an endless maze if I wanted to," Puzzler said to Talon Ranger.
"Then that's what you'll do," Talon Ranger said to Puzzler.
Talon Ranger then walked out of the room and left Puzzler and Wrench by themselves.
"What're you still doing here?" Wrench asked Puzzler. "Get out of here before he comes back for you!"
"You're right!" Puzzler said as he quickly got up. "I don't want to see him that angry again!"
Puzzler quickly ran out of the room as Wrench began picking up the chess pieces off the floor.
"I sometimes wonder how things would've been around here without that evil Ranger," Wrench said to himself.
Eli and Christa were walking down the street together in the city. The two teens then sat down on a bench together at the bus stop.
"Why has it been so long since we did this?" Christa asked Eli.
"I've just been busy with stuff," Eli said to Christa.
"With what exactly?" Christa asked Eli.
"Well there's school and football," Eli told Christa as he shrugged his shoulders.
"And yet neither of those occur on the weekend," Christa told Eli. "Do you have a job or something?"
"Kind of," Eli said nervously to Christa.
"What kind of job?" Christa asked Eli.
Eli looked away from Christa as he began sweating nervously.
"Um, I work at the museum," Eli said to Christa as he continued looking away.
"Are you serious?" Christa said in disbelief.
"Yep, I'm a janitor," Eli said as he smiled.
Christa then began laughing.
"I can see why you didn't want to tell me that now," Christa said to Eli as she continued laughing.
"Yeah, but now you know," Eli said as he sighed.
People down the street then began screaming and came running past Eli and Christa.
"What's going on?" Christa said in confusion.
"Run," Eli said to Christa as he got up.
"What about you?" Christa asked Eli as people continued running by.
"I'll be right behind you," Eli said to Christa as blasts began flying down the street.
Eli looked down the street and saw Vivix and a new monster walking towards him.
"Go!" Eli shouted at Christa.
Christa took off running along with the other people running away as Eli stepped out into the street.
"Who's this guy?" Puzzler said in confusion.
"I had a feeling Sledge would send down another lackey today," Eli said as he pulled out his Dino Charger and morpher.
"Wait, this guy's a Power Ranger!" Puzzler said in astonishment. "Get him!"
The Vivix took off running towards Eli as he quickly inserted his Dino Charger into his morpher.
"Unleash the Power!" Eli shouted as he fired his morpher.
The blast from the morpher flew past the Vivix and blasted them out of the way. The blast then flew back to Eli and morphed him into the Blue Dino Charge Ranger.
"My Vivix!" Puzzler shouted in horror.
"And you're next melon head!" Eli shouted as he began firing his morpher at Puzzler.
Puzzler quickly deflected the blasts with his lance as he began laughing evilly.
"Let's see how you can handle my dirty tricks!" Puzzler shouted as his eyes began glowing.
"Bring it on!" Eli shouted as he prepared for the attack.
Puzzler fired beams from his eyes at Eli. Eli quickly dodged the beams and looked back over at Puzzler.
"You missed me," Eli said to Puzzler.
"Oh really?" Puzzler asked Eli as the beams came flying back at Eli.
Eli then quickly turned around and was hit in the chest by the beams.
"What?" Eli said in disbelief as he began glowing. "What's going on?"
"Enjoy my maze pal," Puzzler said as he laughed.
Eli then instantly vanished as Puzzler continued down the street by himself.
Tracey was sitting at the bar in the Youth Center working as Christa came running into the Youth Center breathing heavily.
"Whoa, what's going on with you?" Tracey asked Christa.
"There's a monster down the street and it might be heading this way," Christa said as she turned around and looked at the door.
"Okay, just stay here where it's safe," Tracey said to Christa as she walked out from behind the bar.
"Where's Eli?" Christa said in confusion.
"I thought he was with you today?" Tracey asked Christa.
"He was and he was supposed to be right behind me," Christa told Tracey.
"Alright, you stay here and I'll go look for him," Tracey said to Christa as she walked Christa over to a chair.
"Are you insane?" Christa asked Tracey. "That thing will attack you,"
"I'll be fine," Tracey told Christa as she began walking towards the door.
"I just hope he's okay," Christa said to herself as Tracey walked out of the Youth Center.
Tracey ran up the street by herself as explosions began occurring around the corner. Tracey quickly ran around the corner and saw Puzzler firing blasts at the buildings around him.
"This isn't my style, but I have to do what I was told to do," Puzzler said to himself as he continued firing blasts.
A blast then hit Puzzler in the shoulder and caused him to drop his lance.
"Owowowow!" Puzzler shouted in pain a she grabbed his shoulder. "Who did that?"
"That would be me," Tracey said to Puzzler as she lowered her morpher.
"Great another Ranger," Puzzler said in annoyance.
"What did you do to my friend?" Tracey asked Puzzler.
"Let's just say he's trying out my new maze," Puzzler told Tracey.
"Then I guess I'll have to destroy you and bring him back," Tracey said as she inserted her Dino Charger into her morpher. "Energize!"
Tracey quickly spun the barrel on her morpher.
"Unleash the Power!" Tracey shouted as she quickly fired the morpher and morphed.
Tracey pulled out her Dino Saber and took off running towards Puzzler.
"Uh oh!" Puzzler shouted as he quickly grabbed his lance.
Nathan, Dante and Sam quickly ran up to the scene and saw Tracey running towards Puzzler.
"There she is!" Sam said to Nathan and Dante as she pointed at Tracey.
"Nathan, they might be after the Ptera Zord," Dante said to Nathan. "Let me and Sam handle this guy with Tracey,"
"Alright, I'll go make sure the Zord is safe," Nathan said to Dante. "I just hope it's close enough for the Charger to last,"
Nathan quickly pulled out a Dino Charger and activated.
"Dino Cycle!" Nathan shouted as he threw the Charger into the air.
Two Zords appeared in front of Nathan and combined into a motorcycle as they bit down on the Charger.
"I'll be back later," Nathan said to Dante and Sam as he hoped on the motorcycle.
Nathan then sped off down the road as Dante and Sam pulled out their morphers.
"Alright, let's go help Tracey," Dante said to Sam as he took off running towards Puzzler.
Tracey swung her saber at Puzzler but was quickly blocked by Puzzler's lance.
"I'm about to make you join the Blue Ranger in my maze!" Puzzler shouted in frustration to Tracey.
"Tracey, move!" Dante shouted a she leapt into the air.
Tracey looked back and saw Dante above her. Tracey quickly moved out of the way as Dante began firing his blaster at Puzzler. The blasts hit Puzzler and knocked him to the ground.
"Nice!" Sam said to Dante as she ran up to Tracey.
Dante then landed on the ground next to Tracey and Sam as Puzzler slowly rose back to his feet.
"Where did Nathan go?" Tracey asked Dante and Sam.
"He's going after the Ptera Zord," Dante told Tracey.
"The Ptera Zord!" Puzzler said in astonishment.
Puzzler then clenched his fist as his eyes began glowing.
"Guys, what's he doing?" Sam asked Tracey and Dante as she noticed Puzzler's eyes.
"He's about to attack!" Dante said as he stepped out in front of the girls.
"To the maze with you all!" Puzzler shouted as he began firing a barrage of blasts at the Rangers.
One of the blasts hit Dante in the chest and knocked him to the ground. The blasts then began hitting Tracey and Sam as Dante faded away. The girls then fell to the ground as Puzzler began laughing.
"What's happening?" Sam said in confusion as she faded away.
"Nathan, you're our only chance!" Tracey said as she faded away.
"I'm sure Talon Ranger can handle that Green Ranger on his own," Puzzler said to himself as he walked away.
Fury was walking through a small town with his sword over his shoulder. People in the streets began screaming in horror as Fury walked by them.
"Where is the Energem!" Fury shouted in anger as he fired lightning bolts at the houses around him.
Fury then roared in anger.
"The item you're searching for is gone," An old man said to Fury.
"What did you do with it?" Fury asked the man.
"I sold it to a museum for display," The old man told Fury.
"What museum?" Fury asked the old man.
"I don't know," The old man said as he shrugged his shoulders. "The thing has been transferred to many different museums around the world,"
Fury then quickly turned away from the man in anger.
"Then I will check every museum on this planet until I find that Energem," Fury said in anger.
"Great grandfather, was that the beast you told everyone stories about?" The old man asked himself.
Tyler came walking out of a house in town and walked back to his car.
"Coach Freeman doesn't even know anything," Tyler said to himself as he got into his car. " I still need to make one more stop though,"
Tyler then started the car and drove away down the road.
Nathan was speeding down a highway through the desert with his Dinocom in hand tracking the location of the Ptera Zord.
"Come on, where are you?" Nathan said as he began looking out into the distance.
Nathan's Dinocom then began going off.
"Alan, I'm busy right now," Nathan said to Alan.
"Nathan, you need to get back to Angel Grove," Alan said to Nathan.
"What, why?" Nathan said in confusion.
"The others are missing and I can't get a location on them," Alan told Nathan.
"But I need to get to the Ptera Zord," Nathan said to Alan.
"I'm sure your friends are more important right now," Alan said to Nathan. "They need you,"
Nathan then groaned.
"Alright, I'll go back," Nathan said as he quickly turned the Dino Cycle around.
Blasts then began hitting Nathan and knocked him off the Dino Cycle. Nathan dropped the Dinocom as he hit the ground.
"Nathan, what's going on?" Alan asked Nathan.
Nathan then reached for the Dinocom as Talon Ranger walked up to him. Talon Ranger stomped down on Nathan's wrist.
"You have something I want," Talon Ranger said to Nathan as he picked up the Dinocom.
"Nathan!" Alan shouted from the Dinocom.
Talon Ranger opened the Dinocom and pulled out the Ptera Charger.
"You can't take that!" Nathan shouted as Talon Ranger tossed the Dinocom aside.
"And who's going to stop me?" Talon Ranger asked Nathan.
Talon Ranger then released Nathan and stepped away from him as he pulled out his weapon.
"Give the Charger back!" Nathan shouted as he ran towards Talon Ranger.
Talon Ranger then quickly struck Nathan twice with his weapon and sent him crashing into the sand off the road.
"The Ptera Zord will be mine," Talon Ranger said as he began walking away.
Nathan slowly rose back to his feet and ran back to his Dino Cycle.
"Talon Ranger!" Nathan shouted in anger.
"Nathan!" Alan shouted through the Dinocom.
Nathan walked over to the Dinocom and picked it up off the ground.
"Alan, Talon Ranger took the Ptera Charger," Nathan said to Alan.
"What?" Alan said in disbelief. "But why would he just take the Charger?"
"He must know where the Ptera Zord is," Nathan said to Alan.
"We'll worry about that later, but right now the others need you," Alan told Nathan.
"Alright, I'll head back to the city right now," Nathan said to Alan as he got back on his Dino Cycle.
Nathan then drove off down the road and began heading back to Angel Grove. On up the road, the Talon Ranger was walking down the road by himself.
"What?" Talon Ranger said in confusion as he saw that blue electricity began forming around his hand.
Talon Ranger then began screaming in pain as he fell to his knees in the middle of the road.
"What's going on?" Talon Ranger said in confusion as his entire body began glowing.
Talon Ranger then instantly demorphed and dropped the Ptera Charger.
"Where am I?" Alex said in confusion as he began looking around.
The Navy Energem then began glowing in Alex's pocket and began electrocuting him as he screamed in pain. Alex then instantly morphed back into Talon Ranger and rose back to his feet.
"What was that?" Talon Ranger said in confusion as he looked at his hands.
Talon Ranger then noticed the Ptera Charger lying on the ground.
"I can't stop now," Talon Ranger said as he picked up the Charger. "I need to get that zord online,"
Talon Ranger then continued walking down the road as the wind began blowing harder.
Alan rose from his seat at the computer and began walking towards the exit. Keeper suddenly walked into the room and saw that Alan was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Keeper asked Alan.
"I need to help the others while Nathan is still gone," Alan told Keeper.
"Are you sure that's what you want to do?" Keeper asked Alan.
"Yes, I'm positive," Alan said as he nodded. "I'm not just a computer nerd that designs the weapons for the Rangers, I'm their friend,"
"Be careful," Keeper said to Alan.
Alan then smirked and continued out the door.
"This alien wants to play games," Alan said to himself. "Well, I've got a game for him,"
Puzzler was lying on a lounge chair next to the public pool as the sun shined down on him.
"Ah, now this is relaxing!" Puzzler said in enjoyment.
Alan walked up to the front gate and saw Puzzler lying in a lounge chair.
"Alright, I can do this," Alan said as he slung his backpack over his shoulder.
Alan silently walked through the gate and began sneaking towards Puzzler.
"Who's there?" Puzzler said in confusion as he quickly rose up.
Puzzler then turned around and saw Alan standing behind him.
"Who are you?" Puzzler asked Alan.
"I'm just someone who is looking for an opponent for my game," Alan said to Puzzler.
"Oh, I accept your challenge!" Puzzler said as he quickly got up. "So what's the game?"
"We'll start off with a little trivia," Alan said to Puzzler as he pulled a stack of notecards out of his backpack.
"Let's get this started," Puzzler said a she rubbed his hands together.
"Who was the first monster sent to Earth by Sledge, not counting Fury?" Alan asked Puzzler.
"Ha, it was Wrench," Puzzler said as he snickered.
"That's right," Alan said as he nodded and moved on to the next card.
"This is too easy already," Puzzler said to Alan.
"Don't worry, it'll get trickier soon enough," Alan said as he smirked.
Tracey slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was in a building hallway by herself. Tracey rose to her feet and began looking around in confusion.
"Where am I?" Tracey wondered as she began walking down the hallway.
Tracey pulled out her Dinocom and turned it on.
"Is anyone there?" Tracey said into the Dinocom.
A static noise came back through the Dinocom.
"Great, no signal," Tracey said as she continued walking down the hall.
Tracey walked up to a door and placed her hand on the knob.
"Come on!" Tracey said in frustration as she struggled to open the door.
Tracey kicked the door in anger and walked away from the door.
"There has to be a way out of here," Tracey said to herself as she kept walking down the hall.
Eli slowly rose to his feet holding his head in pain. Eli then backed into a rail on a stairway and came to his senses.
"What the heck?" Eli said in confusion as he looked around the room. "How did I get here?"
Eli then began walking up the stairs to get out of the room. The stairs suddenly began creaking as Eli made his way up.
"Whoa, don't even think about it!" Eli said to the stairs.
Eli placed his hand on the rail as he continued walking up the stairs. The rail then gave away and pulled Eli off the stairs. Eli fell onto a pile of cardboard boxes and quickly rolled off into the floor in pain.
"Looks like I'm not getting out that way," Eli said in pain as he slowly rose to his feet.
Eli looked over at the wall and saw a vent that was slightly blocked by a cardboard box.
"I hope this works," Eli said as he sighed.
Eli walked over to the box and moved it out of the way. He then knelt down and looked at the vent.
"Crap, it's screwed in tight," Eli said as he tried to pull the cover off.
Eli then rose back to his feet and began looking around again.
"I guess I can only wait for something to happen," Eli said to himself as he walked over to a chair and sat down.
Alan was sitting at the pool with Puzzler still playing the trivia game with him. Alan pulled out the next card as Puzzler sighed in boredom.
"I'm tired of this!" Puzzler shouted in frustration. "I want to play something else!"
"Calm down, we'll play something else if you get this question right," Alan Told Puzzler.
"Then get to reading that question," Puzzler said as he grabbed his lance.
"Alright, settle down," Alan said nervously.
Alan then looked down at the card as Puzzler began tapping his foot. Alan then began smirking.
"Who am I?" Alan asked Puzzler.
"What?" Puzzler said in confusion. "That's a stupid question!"
"You have to answer it before we move on," Alan told Puzzler.
"But I don't have an answer!" Puzzler said in frustration.
"Then you lose," Alan said to Puzzler as he put the card back in the deck.
"No, I don't lose!" Puzzler shouted in anger as he began walking towards Alan.
"Okay, I'm not here to fight you," Alan said to Puzzler as he backed away.
"Then this will be easy," Puzzler said as he raised his lance into the air.
"I think he might want to fight though," Alan said to Puzzler as he pointed behind Puzzler.
"What?" Puzzler said in confusion a she turned around.
Nathan was standing behind Puzzler with his Dino Saber in hand.
"The Green Ranger!" Puzzler shouted in astonishment as he began backing away from Nathan.
"What did you do to my friends?" Nathan asked Puzzler as he inserted a Dino Charger into his Dino Saber.
"Your friends are trapped in a maze I created," Puzzler told Nathan. "And they won't be joining you unless they conquer the maze or if you defeat me,"
Puzzler's eyes then began glowing as he quickly fired a blast at Nathan. The blasts hit the ground in front of Nathan causing sparks to fly up in Nathan's face.
"He's getting away!" Alan shouted as he watched Puzzler run away.
"I'll get him," Nathan said to Alan as he ran up to him.
"Hang on, you might need this to stop him," Alan said to Nathan as he pulled a Charger out of his pocket.
Alan handed the Charger to Nathan.
"What is this?" Nathan asked Alan.
"It's a Charger I've been working on since you and the others became Rangers," Alan told Nathan. "It's called the Dino Drive Charger and it will increase your offensive and defensive capabilities,"
"Alright, I'll use this to save the others," Nathan said as he nodded to Alan.
Nathan quickly took off running after Puzzler and left Alan alone at the pool.
"Good luck!" Alan shouted to Nathan.
Dante was crawling through a vent trying to escape from the maze created by Puzzler. Dante's eyes then widened when he noticed an opening up ahead.
"Yes, I'm almost out!" Dante said as he smiled.
The vent then began creaking as Dante began crawling again.
"Uh oh," Dante said in horror as the creaking grew louder.
The vent suddenly collapsed and fell from the ceiling. Sam quickly looked over from down the hall and saw a piece of the vent in the floor.
"What the heck?" Sam said in confusion as she began approaching the vent.
Groaning was heard coming from inside the vent. Dante then slowly crawled out of the vent.
"Dante!" Sam said in astonishment.
"I didn't expect that to happen," Dante said as he slowly rose to his feet.
"Where are we?" Sam asked Dante.
"I don't know, but this place is endless," Dante told Sam as he dusted his shirt off.
"Then we're stuck here?" Sam asked Dante.
"Unless someone stops Puzzler, we're stuck here forever," Dante told Sam as he turned towards her.
Sam's eyes then widened in horror.
"No, I don't want to be stuck here!" Sam shouted in horror.
"Settle down, I know we won't be here forever," Dante said to Sam. "We need to try and find Eli and see if he knows anything,"
"Hopefully Tracey didn't get trapped in here too," Sam said to Dante as she followed him down the hallway.
"Yeah, if she did, then Nathan is our only hope," Dante said as he sighed.
Puzzler ran out into the streets in horror. Puzzler quickly turned around a she began breathing heavily.
"I hope I lost that Green Ranger," Puzzler said as he continued walking down the street.
Nathan quickly jumped out in front of Puzzler and startled him.
"That's far enough freak," Nathan said to Puzzler as he pointed towards him.
"You won't catch me!" Puzzler shouted as he took off running towards an alley.
One half of the Dino Cycle came out of the alley and snarled at Puzzler.
"Whoa!" Puzzler shouted in horror as he backed away from the alley.
Puzzler then quickly turned towards the other alley and saw the other Dino Cycle half blocking the other alley.
"You have nowhere to go," Nathan said as he pulled out the Dino Drive Charger.
"And you think you can stop me on your own?" Puzzler asked Nathan.
"Dino Drive!" Nathan shouted as he activated the Charger.
The Dino Charger began glowing in Nathan's hand causing Nathan's upper body to begin glowing.
"What's going on?" Puzzler said in confusion.
Nathan gained armor on his upper body along with another shoulder pad.
"And now for your defeat!" Nathan shouted as he pulled out his Dino Saber.
Nathan quickly took off running towards Puzzler with his Dino Saber in hand.
"You won't stop me!" Puzzler shouted as he swung his lance at Nathan.
Nathan ducked and evaded the lance.
"He's quick!" Puzzler said in astonishment.
Nathan quickly struck Puzzler in the stomach with his Dino Saber and knocked puzzler away.
"These new powers are incredible!" Nathan said in amazement.
Nathan then looked over and saw Puzzler rise back to his feet. Nathan inserted his Dino Charger into the Dino Saber.
"Dino Saber, Final Strike!" Nathan shouted as he took off running towards Puzzler as his saber began glowing.
"Please no!" Puzzler shouted in horror.
"Raptor Slash!" Nathan shouted as he struck Puzzler with his Dino Saber.
Puzzler then fell back to the ground and exploded in front of Nathan.
"Come on," Nathan said in concern as he looked at Puzzler's motionless body on the ground.
Four orbs of light then flew out of Puzzler's body and landed in front of Nathan. The orbs then instantly transformed into the other Rangers in front of Nathan.
"Guys!' Nathan shouted in relief.
"Ugh, are we out of that place?" Eli said in confusion as he leaned up.
"Yeah, it looks like it," Tracey said to Eli as she rose to her feet.
Tracey then looked over at Nathan and saw the Dino Drive Armor on him.
"Whoa, what is that?" Dante asked Nathan.
"Another gift from Alan," Nathan said to Dante.
A beam then shot down from the sky and hit Puzzler's body.
"Guys, get ready!" Nathan said to the others.
Puzzler's body then began growing as he was revived.
"I'm back for round two!" Puzzler shouted at the Rangers as he snickered.
"Alright, let's morph and take him down for good," Tracey said as she pulled out her Dino Charger.
The sky then began darkening as the Rangers began looking around in confusion.
"What's happening?" Eli said in confusion.
"Oh no," Nathan said in fear as lightning lit up the sky.
"Who's doing this?" Puzzler said in confusion as he began looking around.
A zord then flew down through the clouds and struck Puzzler with its wing.
"Wait, isn't that the Ptera Zord?" Sam asked the others.
"Yeah, but who's controlling it?" Dante said in confusion.
"Talon Ranger," Nathan said to the others as the zord flew by overhead.
Talon Ranger was standing in the cockpit of the Ptera Zord controlling the zord with the Dino Charger.
"You've done your job Puzzler," Talon Ranger said to Puzzler as the Ptera Zord began flying back towards Puzzler.
"Wait, what're you doing?" Puzzler asked Talon Ranger.
The Ptera Zord then fired lightning blasts from its mouth and struck Puzzler with the blasts. Puzzler then instantly exploded and was destroyed by the Ptera Zord.
"This is a warning Power Rangers," Talon Ranger said to the Rangers. "Next time, you will be the ones that face my new zord!"
The other Rangers then looked over at Nathan.
"How did he get the Ptera Zord?" Tracey asked Nathan.
"He stole the Charger from me in the desert," Nathan told Tracey. "But I had to come back to save you guys,"
"Don't get mad at him," Eli said to Tracey. "He saved us,"
"Yeah, but he gave Sledge's crew a zord in the process," Tracey said in anger.
"That zord is on a limited amount of power Tracey," Dante told Tracey. "Unless they find the Gold Energem, they can't control that thing forever,"
"Nathan did the right thing coming back for us," Sam said to Tracey.
"Whatever, let's just get back to Alan and see what to do next," Tracey said to the others as she walked away.
Nathan demorphed and watched Tracey walk away.
"We need to find that Energem before Sledge and his goons do," Nathan said to the others.
"Yeah, that should be our top priority now," Dante said to Nathan as he walked by him.
Nathan looked back at the dark clouds in the sky outside of the city as cries were heard in the distance.
"I hope we can find that thing soon," Nathan said to himself as the others walked away.
