White Thunder, part 2.

"This energy should activate the Dino Zord egg," the White Ranger stated proudly as he used his morpher to zap the large white egg in front of him. It had glowing red orbs on it, and black spikes covered it, so it resembled his uniform a lot. "Soon you'll be ready for you debut."

He picked it up, regarding it greedily. "When this opens, there'll only be one colour left in the rainbow…"

"Hey, have you guys seen Trent?" Hayley asked as she approached Ethan, Kaylee and Kira, who sat at the Café's bar. "I'm a little worried, he hasn't shown up and he's never—"

"Ahem."

"Late," she grinned, turning around to see Trent. Only, he looked horrible.

"Sorry about that," he apologized. "I just had a…"

"Are you okay?" Kira frowned worriedly.

"Yeah, you look like you've seen a ghost," Kaylee added.

"Or Grippleshank," Ethan pointed out.

"Who?" Trent was puzzled.

"From Black Knight's Castle…it just came out last week," Ethan stated. "Grippleshank is like this massive dude with black eyes and yellow teeth. He spits this toxic stuff that dissolves you if you look at him."

"Okay…," Trent still wasn't getting it.

"And yet again, Ethan's geeky-ness is lost to the world," Kaylee sighed, smacking a hand to her forehead. "Ethan, when you're not at school or Cyberspace, please tell me you get out often."

"Sometimes," he nodded.

"God, it's like Cam all over again," she laughed.

"I'll watch out for him," Trent promised.

"Who, Cam?" Kaylee frowned. "Uh, unless you plan on going to Blue Bay Harbor, you're cool."

"No, I meant the black-eyed yellow-teethed dude," he chuckled. "Now, back on planet reality, I got a lotta work to do."

Hayley nodded and he walked off, leaving the four to watch him go. "You know, technically, if he'd seen Grippleshank, he wouldn't be here to tell you about it," Hayley grinned.

"Hmm," Ethan pondered, nodding. "Good point."

"Hey, don't feel bad," Kira smirked. "That's why her name's on the wall."

"Y'know, if it's too much work for you and Trent, I could help you," Kaylee grinned.

"Thanks Kaylee, if we start getting backed-up, I'll find you," Hayley smiled before walking off.

Then, their Dino Gems beeped and all three Rangers groaned.

"Ugh, that better not be him," Kaylee muttered.

"I know, I'm still getting gravel outta my hair from last time," Kira agreed.

"Well there's only one way to find out," Ethan told them, walking ahead. "Let's go!"

Hayley signaled to them as they left, and then turned to see Trent nearly crash into a table and drop the tray of glasses he held. Flashes of the White Ranger went through his mind, and his eyes rolled upwards as he fell.

Hayley rushed over as a few glasses went crashing down and broke, sliding across the floor.

"If you didn't wanna bus tables," she smiled weakly. "All you had to do was say so."

"I'm really sorry, Hayley," Trent sighed as she helped him to his knees. "I just lost it for a second."

He made a move to go pick up the broken pieces, but she stopped him with a wave of her hand. "Sit," she ordered. "I've got it."

She helped him to his feet and made him sit on a chair just behind him. "I hate to get all bossy on you," she stated. "But I think I'm gonna order you to take some time off."

"No, no, I'm fine," he assured her.

"Look, I have a strict glassware budget I have to adhere to. I can't afford any more breakage today."

"You're probably right…after all, you are, smart."

"My parents will be glad to hear my M.I.T education hasn't gone to waste," she smiled, helping him up to his feet. "C'mon."

Reluctantly, he headed towards the door. "Call me later to tell me if you're alright."

"Yeah," he nodded, and walked out.

Kira, Kaylee and Ethan rushed down the stairs to the Ranger Base, and knew Conner was already there since they'd seen his Red Mustang out front. "Hey, Dr.O," Ethan greeted. "We came as soon as we got the message."

"You guys gotta see this," Conner stated.

"Please tell me you know who the White Ranger is," Kira pleaded, looking down at him.

"Not quite, but look at this," Tommy told them, pointing towards one of the computer screens. It zoomed in on a Dino egg, one that was white with black spikes and red orbs.

"Whoa!" Kaylee breathed. "It's huge! It's like, a Monsterdon egg!"

"Y'know that's not a real Dinosaur, right?" Ethan inquired.

"I know," she smiled. "But look! It looks like it's ready to pop!"

"It is," Tommy affirmed.

"Hey, what about that one?" Conner inquired, pointing at another screen as the camera zoomed in.

"Dino Zord eggs are all over the place!" Kira exclaimed.

"Hey, you think this is what Easter was like millions of years ago?" Ethan asked, chuckling.

"Oh! I told you he was the Easter Bunny!" Kaylee giggled.

"How do they come up with this stuff?" Conner shook his head incredulously, craning his neck up to look at Kira, who shrugged.

"Conner, Kira, you go to the warehouse," Tommy stated.

"Aww, how cute!" Kaylee giggled, ducking behind Ethan for fear of either teen hitting her.

"Kaylee, you go with them."

"Ah crap! Third wheel much Dr. O?"

"You be quiet, there's nothing third wheel about it," Kira snapped.

"Ethan, you come with me to the docks," Tommy stated, ignoring their bout. "We can talk about your Dino-Easter theory."

"This makes no sense!" Conner groaned as he and the girls walked through the warehouse. He had one of the large scanners in hand, but it didn't seem to be picking up anything as he made it pan the room.

"Are you getting anything?" Kira inquired.

"I dunno how to read this thing," he sighed, shaking his head and giving up on scanning. "Why didn't he give Ethan geek duty?"

"He did, just not with us," Kaylee pointed out.

"Here," Kira offered, taking it from him. "Lemme see that."

Conner sighed gratefully and she panned the room, watching the small screen on the device. It suddenly went off beeping and she smiled. "See, you just gotta have the touch."

"Never say that again. Ever," Kaylee giggled, but her words were lost on the pair as they took off in the direction it was pointing. "Fine. Don't listen to me!"

She followed them and the stopped in front of a tunnel-like section of the warehouse with no lights. "Why does it always have to be a creepy abandoned place?"

"Why, you afraid of the dark, Kira?" Conner grinned, leaning closer. "Need us to hold you hand for you?"

"Us?" Kaylee laughed. "I'm pretty sure she'd be okay if it was just you!"

"No!" she exclaimed, swatting him away. "And shut up Kaylee!"

"Look, let's just get it and get outta here," Conner suggested, his sweet tone gone and replaced by his leadership one. They nodded and ran off down the creepy abandoned section of the warehouse, Kira in front as she went where the scanner told her.

They stopped abruptly when they spotted bright golden pulsing lights coming from around a corner. "Well," Kira stated, looking up at Conner. "At least we know it's not abandoned."

"I dunno whether that's a good thing, or a bad thing," Kaylee pointed out, before they started towards it slowly. They turned the corner slightly, Conner ahead of them.

"Aw, terrific," he muttered, seeing the White Ranger advance towards the egg, shooting a golden and white blast out from his morpher. Realizing they were out in the open, he grabbed onto Kira's arm and pulled her back around the corner, where Kaylee was already waiting.

"White Ranger," they told her, and she groaned.

"Crud."

They waited a few moments, making sure he hadn't seen them and followed.

"Not scared y'know," Kira stated, out of the blue.

"Huh?" Conner frowned, looking down at her. She glanced pointedly between them, and he followed her gaze, realizing he still held her arm. "Oh, right. Sorry."

Kaylee grinned and was going to say something before Kira peaked her head out, spotted the White Ranger, still at work on the egg, and came back to rest her head on the wall they were pressed up against.

"Well, d'you wanna try talking to him?" Kaylee inquired.

"Yeah, cuz that worked well last time," Kira said sarcastically.

"How 'bout we just morph, kick his butt, and steal his egg instead," Conner suggested.

"Yeah," Kira smiled, nodding. "I like that better."

The three jumped out from their hiding spot, facing the White Ranger in fighting stances. He noticed them, and seemed to scoff. "I don't have time to play Rangers. I'm busy. Now go!"

He sent a flurry of Drago Arrows in their direction, and since they were caught off guard, they were thrown backwards as the projectiles connected, sending volts of shock through their bodies. Pushing himself to his feet, Conner glared at the Ranger as he helped Kira up and Kaylee merely teleported into a standing position.

"We're not here to play," he stated through clenched teeth. "Ready?"

"Ready!" the girls nodded, and their Dino Gems turned into their morphers.

"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP! HA!"

"Ready to get this poser?" Conner asked them.

"Way ahead of you," they nodded and together the three Rangers rushed towards their enemy. The latter merely took off to meet them in Superspeed, twisting his Drago Sword through the air and slashing at them wildly as he went by over and over again.

He reappeared in the air in front of them, flying towards them, where he delivered a powerful kick that sent them all sprawling to the end of the corridor. "Best two outta three?" he taunted as they got to their feet.

"Okay, this isn't fun anymore," Kaylee whined.

"I agree," Kira nodded.

"Well then, let's finish it," Conner clenched his fists, still itching for a fight. He ran forward the attack the White Ranger, while Kaylee and Kira's morphers went off.

"Guys, you've got bad news coming your way," Hayley stated over the com-link.

"Worse than this?" Kira asked, looking up to see Conner get smashed into the wall. Everything around them began to shake.

"Great, by the sounds of it, it's already mega-tall," Kaylee stated.

"Just what we need," Conner muttered as he stood up, only to be kicked back into a pile of boxes. Angry, Kira rushed forward, summoning her Ptera Grips and going head-to-head against the White Ranger. She lasted slightly longer than Conner before she too was in boxes.

Kaylee then looked at her downed friends, then at the White Ranger, and summoned her Spino Whip. Keeping her distance (because getting in close was what had gotten Conner and Kira defeated), she cracked her whip at him, hitting him in the side of the head.

He growled, waiting for her to strike again and then grabbing onto the spiked weapon. Kaylee's eyes widened and she realized too late what he was doing. He wrenched the Whip forward, and made Kaylee come flying, only to kick her in the gut.

He let go of the whip when she reached the end, and she went flying further, into the wall behind her friends. Conner got to his knees, placing a hand on Kira's shoulder as she sat there, holding her side.

"Are you okay?" Conner asked, gritting his teeth against his own pain.

"Just great," she muttered, looking up at their opponent.

"Fine, don't care about me," Kaylee stated, glaring at the back of the Red and Yellow Rangers' heads.

"You guys aren't even a challenge," the White Ranger mused. "Take a hike before you really get hurt."

"Not a chance," Conner shook his head.

"What?" Kaylee frowned.

"Yeah, we're not leaving without that egg," Kira vowed.

"But guys!" Kaylee protested. "Don't you think we've taken a beating enough already?"

"We can stay here and fight, but I thought you'd wanna save this city," the White Ranger taunted, twirling his Drago Sword in his hands.

"I hate to admit it…," Kira began, looking up at Conner.

"But he's got a point," Kaylee finished, standing up beside them.

"We'll finish this later," Conner vowed, keeping a hand on Kira's shoulder as he glanced from her up to Kaylee. "Let's go!"

The girls nodded and Kira got to her feet with the help of Conner and Kaylee, and together they ran off. "Good answer," the White Ranger chuckled. "You leave my egg alone."

"I'm getting some seriously strong readings Dr. O," Ethan stated as Tommy pulled the Jeep to a stop by the docks.

"Let's check it out on foot," Tommy told him, getting out of the car.

"That egg has to be around here somewhere," Ethan scanned the area, watching the machine in his hands with interest. "This thing's going nuts!"

"That doesn't sound good," Tommy commented as an alarm went off nearby. From the industrial building on the docks, all the workers came running and screaming. Tommy stopped one in his tracks. "You guys alright?"

"There's…There's a giant…thing! I dunno what it is but it's coming this way!" he stumbled over his words before running off.

"C'mon!" Tommy told Ethan, and together they ran off towards the building. They skidded to a stop in between two warehouses, watching as a huge turquoise Zord stomped by. "Looks like we got here just in time."

"Now what?" Ethan frowned, looking up at the towering creature.

"He's all yours, guys," Hayley's voice came in over Tommy's morpher, and the black Brachio head switched to that of the turquoise Zord ahead of them. "It's the Parasaurzord."

"How come mine doesn't do that?" Ethan whined, seeing that his Morpher remained the same.

"Sometimes you just need a little something extra," Hayley added, ignoring his complaint.

"I hear that," he nodded.

"Easy fella," Tommy stated, as the Parasaurzord made its bouts of protest and excitement.

"I see black and blue clothing!" Kaylee shouted as she, Conner and Kira ran up.

"There you guys are," Kira stated.

"We found that egg," Conner reported. "Only problem is, so did the White Ranger. He's trying to hatch it!"

"You guys stay here and deal with this thing," Tommy stated, before looking at Ethan. "Ready?"

"Right!" Ethan nodded, and together they morphed.

"Zords are on the way," Tommy promised before he ran off. The Brachiozord then came lumbering down the streets, opening up panels. Kira's Zord flew out of the top, Kaylee's came running out the right side, Conner's jumped out from the left, skidding down a ramp and Ethan's came out the back, thundering down the length of the tail.

Their Zords came running towards them, sending shockwaves through the ground as it did. The Rangers ran to meet them, and Kaylee was overjoyed as she joined them this time. Together, they jumped into the air and into their Zords.

"Tyranno Power!"

"Ptera Power!"

"Spino Power!"

"Tricera Power!"

Their Zords joined together, forming the Thundersaurus Megazord and they went to find today's annoying opponent.

"You think you've got what it takes to drop the Angor?" the monster chuckled.

"Why is it that the monsters always have corny lines?" Kaylee inquired as they stood down the street from the giant Anchor creature. The Megazord and Angor lumbered through the street towards one another, and met in the middle, crashing their weapons against one another.

"I've got you anchored!" it cackled, only to be kicked in the middle. It stumbled backwards, before being hit repeatedly with lasers. The monster wasn't done yet as it lunged forward.

"Spino Blade!" Kaylee yelled, slashing it across its front with her Zord arm.

"Tyranno Tail!" Conner added, slashing it the other direction with his Zord arm.

"Ptera Rang!" Kira called, hoping to finish it as she conducted the Megazord to through the sharp boomerangs that were her Zord. Angor deflected them angrily.

"Now I'm angor-y!" he stated, jumping high into the air and firing off lasers. The repeated blasts brought the Megazord down, and Angor proceeded in jumping up and down on them, putting loads of strain on the mechanisms.

"That's cowardly!" Ethan exclaimed. "Tricera Horns!"

The blue armor that was Ethan's Zord suddenly shot upwards from the Megazord's back, stabbing into Angor's feet and he cried out in pain, falling into the street behind them. The Megazord got to it's feet.

"Parasaurzord!" Conner called, and the turquoise Zord came hopping down the street. It took one super leap, replacing the left arm of the Megazord, which a part of the Tyrannozord had previously occupied.

As Angor thrust his sword arm forward, the Parasaurzord came in handy like a pair of scissors, chopping it to pieces. It then proceeded in helping the Megazord chop every other part of the monster into pieces, and then Angor exploded.

Conner brought his morpher up, speaking into the com-link and signaling Tommy. "We've got this situation under control. How're you doing over there?"

xX-White-Thunder-Xx

"Got a little sidetracked," Tommy admitted. "But I'm heading back to the White Ranger now."

He broke connection and ran off down the abandoned hallway of the warehouse, reaching a staircase that seemed to go on forever. "They couldn't have had an elevator?" he muttered, after having descended at least three stories.

By the time he reached the doorway to witness a Zord break free of the white egg and grow as the White Ranger commanded – he was horribly out of breath. "Oh no!"

And then, just his luck, the building began to collapse as the Zord outgrew it. Chunks of ceiling fell all around him and he launched himself out of the way.

xX-White-Thunder-Xx

The four Rangers in the Megazord turned to look at the top of a warehouse building as a Dino shriek almost like the Pterazord's rang pierced the air. Atop the building was a white bird-like Dinozord, its red eyes focused on the Megazord as it let loose another cry.

"Whoa, what's that?" Ethan stated in awe.

"I'll give you one guess," Conner growled angrily.

"He must have hatched the Dinozord egg," Kira added. "I really don't like the look of this."

"I don't blame you! He's totally ripping off your Zord!" Kaylee exclaimed.

"Hello again, Rangers," the White Ranger called, jumping up onto the beak of the White Zord before them. "Well, what do you think? If you wear the suit; you gotta have the Zord, right?"

"No! It's the one thing we have that you don't!" Kaylee shook her head. "And I only just got mine, like, a week ago!"

"Now, let's see what this bird can do!" the White Ranger stated, brining up his morpher. "Dragozord! Activate!"

"You guys ready for this?" Conner inquired, keeping himself from sighing.

"I guess so…," Kira shrugged, not ready at all.

"Not really," Kaylee admitted.

"Huh?" for once Ethan was lost.

"Let's do it!" the White Ranger stated, powering up his Dragozord.
