Dino Charge: Merman Aqua Ranger

I should start this by apologizing for the over month long delay. I had a little bit of a writer's block and life came into play. But I am back with a new chapter. Also, thanks to those who have decided to follow this story. It means a lot to me.

Also, found a new favorite in fandoms: Descendants. I know that can be a weird one, especially when I am not part of its normal demographic, but I am a big fan of Disney and I watched both movies and liked them. Sure they are cheesy, but a good kind of cheesy. Plus the songs are so catchy. My next fan fiction may be based on these movies so be on the lookout for that.

Chapter 10: Royal Rangers

Back in Australia, Mimmi was standing out on a pier, looking at the sunset. She sighed. She missed her brother, Zac, terribly. Because of the connection that had been built between them, being this far apart for this long was taking its toll. Sure, her friends helped ease her loneliness, but she wanted Zac back at her side again. She closed her eyes and breathed in the scent of the ocean. "I thought I would find you here." Mimmi turned around and found Ondina standing behind her. "Hey, Ondina," Mimmi said. Ondina saw the sad look in her eyes and said, "You are thinking about Zac again, huh?" Mimmi nodded, looking down. Ondina sighed and brought Mimmi into a hug. "If you keep worrying about him like this, then I feel that something bad will happen to you. He explained that this was something that he needed to do. He will come back, like he promised." Mimmi pulled away from the hug and dried the tears that started to come down her cheeks. "I know. I just miss him. I just feel weak without him near me. I can't feel him because he is so far away. What if something happens to him. What if something happens to me? What if…" "Mimmi, breathe," Ondina said, interrupting her. "Like I said, you can't worry about this. Zac needs to do whatever he needs to do on his own. This may help him realize that he needs to embrace who he really is. Then he can take the throne with you someday." Mimmi smiled and said, "Thanks, Ondina. What would I do without you?"

Back in Amber Beach, Zac awoke and stretched his limbs. He felt a big smile develop on his face. Ever since he revealed his secret to his teammates, he felt like a huge weight was lifted from his shoulders. He looked over at the clock and saw that he overslept, again. "Dang it!" He raced out of bed, threw some clothes on, and ran for the beach so he could swim to the museum.

At the museum, the other Rangers were setting up for the Treasures of Zandar exhibit. "Pretty sweet," Riley said as he set down a sign outside the museum. "The treasures of Zandar." He turned to walk back inside when he saw Zac running toward the museum entrance. Sighing, Riley called out, "Hey, Zac!" Zac stopped and turned to see Riley and a look of embarrassment crept up onto his face. "You're late," Riley said, folding his arms. "Sorry, Riley," Zac said. "I overslept past my alarm again. Just woke up 10 minutes ago." Riley looked shocked and said, "Then how did you get to the museum quickly. I know it's at least a 15 minute drive…Oh. You swam here, didn't you?" Zac nodded. "I can swim up to 120 mph," he said. Riley's eyes widened. "Really?" Riley asked. "Ever since you told us, I have wanted to ask you so many questions. How do your powers work? How many of your kind exist? How much does your tail weigh? How.." "Riley!" Zac said. "Not so loud. Too many people here. And I will answer all of your questions, but I need to get to work, like you do." Riley sighed and he followed Zac inside the museum.

Down in the lab. Ms. Morgan was fast asleep at her work station. Koda and Tyler walked in and saw that she was asleep. Koda walked up to her and said, "Uh, Kendall?" She startled awake and said, "It's Ms. Morgan." "Did you work all night?" Koda asked. She nodded while yawning and said, "Destroying monsters is one thing, but with Fury in charge of the Ptera Zord, you may need a stronger battle mode in your Megazord. Which is why I developed these." She walked over and pulled out two Dino Chargers that were red and had a letter D on them. "They activate Dino Drive Mode." Tyler grabbed one from her hands and said, "Awesome. Fury won't know what hit him." "Let's hope so," Ms. Morgan said. "They haven't been tested but if they work, they'll double your power. But remember, only in the Megazord." "Dino Drive Mode," Koda said. "That's great, Kendall!" He patted Kendall a little too roughly on the back, causing some discomfort from her. Suddenly her communicator went off and she picked it up, seeing Chase on the screen. "The Zandar treasures have arrived," Chase said. "We're on our way up to help unload," Tyler said. "Not me," Ms. Morgan said. "Shelby needs me for something "urgent" in the cafe." "Must be very important," Koda said. Ms. Morgan sighed and walked out of the lab band headed up to the cafe.

Zac walked into the cafe and saw Ms. Morgan holding an iPad walking away from Shelby, who was trying to get her attention. "Come one, Kendall," Shelby said. "I mean, Ms. Morgan. Julian's work is great." She grabbed a boy's arm and followed after Ms. Morgan, to Zac's amusement. "Look at this sketch. It's beautiful!" They stopped right next to Zac and Shelby held out a sketch to Ms. Morgan, who looked at it, with Zac looking at it over her shoulder. "I completely agree," Ms. Morgan said. "Me too," Zac said, startling Ms. Morgan. "Zac!" she said. "You're late." "Sorry, Ms. Morgan," Zac said. "I slept past my alarm. But I got here quickly. By sw.." he was about to saw swimming, but saw that the artist boy was standing with them and could not blow his cover "driving. Yes, driving." Ms. Morgan sighed and said, "Well, I hope you did not speed to get here." She looked back at Shelby. "Julian, your work is terrific! But this is a history museum, not an art gallery. I'm sorry." She handed the drawing back to him and walked away. Julian looked at Shely and said, "Thanks for trying. But maybe it's just not meant to be. You know?" He sadly walked away. Shelby tried calling out to him but Julian ignored her. She sighed and looked at Zac. "You OK?" Zac asked. "No," Shelby said, walking toward the garage and Zac ran after her.

Out at the garage, the other Rangers were unloading the treasures of Zandar when Shelby followed by Zac came out. "So?" Tyler asked. "Does Julian get a show?" "No," Shelby said. "That guy lives and breathes for his art. Just needs a break." She turned back to Zac and said, "And nice job with the recovery by the way." Zac gulped and said, "Thanks." Tyler looked at him and said, "What does she mean by that?" Zac sighed and said, "I was late this morning and I was trying to explain myself to Ms. Morgan, but I almost blurted out how I got here in front of Julian." "How did you get here this morning?" Tyler asked. "I swam up the beach line." Tyler's eyes widened. "You can swim that fast to get here?" "Yes," Zac replied. "Cool," Tyler said.

The other boys were unloading more parts while Chase pulled out a portrait for the stone of Zandar. "Hey," he called to the others. "Look at this." "Wow," Riley said as he walked over. "This exhibit has the stone of Zandar." "What's that?" Zac asked. "Well," Riley said. "If you believe in the legend, it all started when the knight, Sir Ivan, found the stone." "Knights are so awesome," Chase said offhandedly. "So, what happened?" Koda asked. "Well, supposedly," Riley said. "Hundreds of years ago, the young prince of Zandar was being escorted by Sir Ivan. The prince demanded that Sir Ivan fetch him some water." "Ugh! Seriously?" Shelby said. "Just because he's a prince he can't say please?" "Uh," Riley said. "That's not the point of the story. Anyway, while they were stopped to get some water, the knight noticed something shimmering in the creek. He reached out, only to find…" Suddenly, the group heard a loud noise. "Sound like big eagle," Koda said. They heard it again, and ran out to see what it was, but they did not see the box containing the stone of Zandar glowing as they left.

They ran out and looked up at the sky. "That's no eagle," Shelby said. "That's the Ptera Zord," Riley said. The Zord was flying around, blasting away at buildings. "We need some fire power," Chase said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Chase and Koda pulled out their Dino Chargers and summoned their Zords. They tried to attack the Ptera Zord, but it was too quick and suddenly, it transformed into its own Megazord. "Recognize this?" Fury shouted from inside the Ptera Zord. "I have my own Megazord now, Rangers!" "It changed!" Tyler said. "That's the Ptera Charge Megazord," Riley said. " I sure wish it was on our side," Zac said. "Deal with this, Rangers!" Fury shouted as he blasted more buildings. Tyler stepped forward, pulled out his Dino Charger, and yelled, "Dino Charger, ready!" He summoned his T-Rex Zord. "Hey, Rexy! Team up! Dino Charge Megazord, Para-Stego Formation!" The Megazord formed and the Rangers morphed, then jumped into the Megazord. "Man," Tyler said. "I don't like battling our own Zords." His communicator went off and he saw Ms. Morgan on the screen. "Tyler," she said. "We weren't expecting Fury to control a Megazord. It's dangerous, but you have to try our new Dino Drive Mode." "Understood," Tyler said. "We're willing to take the risk." Everyone nodded in agreement. They all yelled out, "Dino Chargers, ready! Dino Drive, activate!" Suddenly, all of the Rangers had metal shields over their suits. "I can feel the charge of strength," Shelby said. "I can definitely feel the boast in power," Zac said. Tyler laughs and said, "Awesome!" "Kendall," Koda said. "You very smart." Kendall sighs and said, "I just hope it gives you the edge you need." "Oh, yeah," Chase said. "Let's go!" They start firing at the Ptera Zord, but it is too strong and Fury starts attacking back. "Pathetic Rangers!" Fury said. "Ptera Sabber Slash!" He hits them full on, but the Rangers block it and attack back with Stego Punch and Para Zord Blast. Fury attacks again, but this time the Rangers couldn't block it and the Megazord takes damage. "He's so strong," Tyler said. "I told you I'll get your Energems someday," Fury said as he started to power up a laser beam. "Today is that day." "Our defenses are down!" Shelby cries. "We can't take another hit!" Riley said. "Wait," Zac said. "I have an idea. Koda, throw your shield." So Koda threw his shield as Fury fired at them with his laser beam. But the Rangers were struggling to hold the beam back. "Cannot hold much longer," Koda said. Suddenly, their communicators went off again with Ms. Morgan on the line. "Sensors indicate that Fury's Megazord is running low on power." "That's our only hope," Tyler said. "We need you now, hotshot!" Chase nodded and attacked Fury with Para Zord Blast. He succeeds and Fury is damaged. "I am almost out of energy!" Fury cries. "I will recharge, then, return to finish you!" He makes the Zord transform back to flight mode and flies away, with the Rangers looking up as he flies away. "Good job guys," Tyler said. "But that cat has more lives. He'll be back."

Later that night at the museum, the Rangers were unboxing pieces of the Zandar exhibit. Koda was trying on a knight's helmet, but the mask part falls onto his face and he starts having a hard time of seeing. Tyler walks around him and said, "Our Dino Chargers last so long. Why would Fury have run out of power?" "Well," Riley said. "The ghost-like being that Fury's getting his energy from could be getting weak." "But," Ms. Morgan said. "Even a small amount of power in the Ptera Charger can still do a lot of damage."

Tyler looked over and saw Zac staring off into the distance, like he was not all there in the moment. Like he was worrying about something. Tyler walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. Zac was startled and rubbed his eyes. "Are you ok, Zac?" Tyler asked. Zac nodded and said, "I think so. It's just tonight is a full moon." Everyone stops and looks at Zac with worried looks on their faces. They all remembered when he told them his merman secret about how the moon can have a weird effect on him. Chase spoke up by saying, "You're not going to go crazy on us, are you?" Zac chuckled a little and said, "If I stay inside and don't look at the moon directly, even a reflection of it, I should be fine. However, I have this strange feeling right now," "What kind of feeling," Koda asked. "Like it's trying to draw me out. Normally when I am inside and away from the moonlight, I am fine until I get exposed to it, but tonight is different." "Different how?" Shelby asked. "It feels like it's trying to pull me somewhere," Zac answered. "I am trying to fight it off the best that I can. My Energem is giving me a boost, but for some reason it's not enough. I'm just nervous that I will give in and I will do something that I am going to regret later." The others looked at each other then Tyler asked, "What happens when you give in to the full moon?" "Let's just say I am not myself," Zac answered. "It's almost like I am possessed or something, like Chase was. Whatever the moon wants me to do, I do it, and I make sure that no one gets in my way. Even if I have to hurt them." Zac looks down. "I don't want that to happen. Especially to you guys." Shelby ran up and wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "We will help you, Zac," she said. "We are a team. We protect each other." She pulled out of the hug and Zac looked up at her. "Thanks, Shelby," Zac said. "You're welcome," she said smiling. "Is there anything we can do to help you fight it?" "Well," Zac said. "Let's just keep focusing on the issue at hand. That might help distract me long enough."

Everyone nodded and they got back to work on unloading all of the treasures. Shelby pulled out a tiara and said, "Look at this tiara. It's worth a small fortune. Do you know how many people that could feed? But some selfish princess keeps it in a box. Just in case she wants to wear it to the grand ball. What a waste." Zac laughed. "Why is that funny to you?" Shelby asked. "Sorry," Zac said. "It's just that you remind me of Mimmi, that's all." Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him. "What?" Zac asked. "Who's Mimmi?" "My sister," Zac said. "You have a sister?" Chase said. "Is she hot?" Shelby smacked the back of his head. "Chase!" Shelby said. "Inappropriate." "It's ok." Zac said. "Why do I remind you of your sister?" Shelby asked. "Story for another time," Zac answered.

"Bottom line," Chase said. "Got to get that Ptera Charger back." The group, minus Ms. Morgan, went to pick up the box that held the Stone of Zandar. As they were picking up the box, it started to glow, much to the shock of the Rangers. "What in the world?" Tyler said. Everyone looked down and saw that their Energems were glowing. Zac felt a boost in the Energems power and felt that sensation he mentioned earlier go away completely. "What going on?" Koda said. "No idea," Zac said. "But whatever that was, it gave my Energem a boost. That sensation I felt earlier is gone." "What?" everyone shouted. They all look back at the box that glowed earlier. "But it looks like it stopped," Tyler said. "Let's try lifting it again," Shelby said. Everyone goes back to pick it up, but the top of the box exploded, causing everyone to jump back as the contents of the box glowed brightly. "Everyone ok?" Riley asked. Everyone nodded and stepped toward the box to see why it was glowing. They look in and are shocked to see the Gold Energem in the case where the Stone of Zandar sits. "The Stone of Zandar is…" Shelby started. "The Gold Energem," Riley finished saying for Shelby. "We need to get this to the lab," Ms. Morgan said, grabbing the case very carefully. Everyone started to walk toward the lab, but Zac suddenly stopped. "Um, guys," Zac said, causing everyone to look back at him. "Full moon, remember?" "Oh, right," Tyler said. "Maybe we could get Keeper to teleport you down there," Ms. Morgan said. "Ok," Zac said. "I'll wait here." Everyone else walks out to the lab as Zac waits uneasily. Not even a minute later, Keeper magically appears next to Zac, startling him. "I hear you needed some help getting down to the lab," Keeper said. "Full moon troubles?" "Yes," Zac said. "I just don't want to chance walking out to the lab and getting exposed to the full moon. I don't want to hurt my friends." "I see," Keeper said. "Well, shall we?" And the pair teleport down to the Ranger base.

They arrived and saw that Ms. Morgan was putting the Gold Energem into her equipment, probably to check if it was the real deal. The readings were finished and Ms. Morgan said, "This is amazing. It's authentic." "Welcome back, my old friend," Keeper said. "The Gold Energem is bonded to the spirit of the Pterodactyl." "How did it end up in the treasures of Zandar?" Chase asked. "Zandar's in Europe," Shelby said. "Lots of Pterodactyl fossils have been found their. Like with Zac and his Energem ring found near where many Ankylosaurus fossils were found." "If Fury were to get a hold of this," Ms. Morgan said. "He would have unlimited power of the Ptera Zord." "Then we hide it," Koda said. "Or," Tyler said. "We could tell Fury exactly where it is." Everyone looked at him with curious looks on their faces. "I think I already have a plan," Tyler said. "Since this is one of the treasures of Zandar, we can pretend to be Zandar royalty and show off the stone to the public, lowering Sledge and his goons into a trap." "That sounds great, Tyler," Shelby said. They both gave each other a look and blushed, causing everyone to smirk since they knew that those two had feelings for each other. Except Koda since he had no idea about romance.

Everyone gathered around to discuss the plan, but Zac pulled Keeper aside. "What seems to be the problem, Zac?" Keeper asked. "Well, as you know," Zac started. "My power comes from the moon and tonight is a full moon and I tend to avoid the full moon because I can be drawn into its influence and do stuff that I don't like or want to do. Usually I am fine when I stay out of its light or reflection, but tonight for some reason even though I have been doing that, I can feel its presence like it wants me to come under its influence and I don't know why." Keeper thought for a moment before saying, "It seems that the next big phase of your power's evolution and your heritage is drawing near and the moon must want you to embrace that. This only happens to menfolk of royal descent so that they can embrace and grow their power to rule over their kind." Keeper looked at Zac who had a worried look on his face. Keeper realized instantly and said, "The Energem was not the only reason you came here, was it?" Zac was shocked and said, "No, but how did you know?" "I am the guardians of the Energems, I can feel energy levels, and yours has been increasing, but not by the Energem alone." Zac sighed and said, "I only found out recently. My birth mother was rescued from being cursed and she wants me and my twin sister to return with her to her home and take the throne since my father is of royal descent. But that means I have to give up my life that I was raised in. Give up my friends, my family, everything. I don't want to do that just because I am a secret royal prince." "I understand your concerns about this," Keeper said. "But you can't run away from your problems forever. You need to embrace them, even if it's a tough decision." Zac sighed and said, "I understand. But I can't think about that know. This situation comes first. The Energem chose me and that is my mission right now." Keeper nodded then said, "You also should tell the others." "I know," Zac said. "But soon. Not now. I also wanted to ask about the Energems. Earlier when we found the gold Energem, all of our Energems started to glow and I felt the moon's influence leave me immediately and I haven't felt it return." Keeper thought for a moment before saying, "That must be because of a power surge since another Energem has been located. That power surge must have strengthened your Energem and now it's blocking the moon's power since it senses that is what you want. The Energems can give anyone what they desire and that is your current desire. But do not count on this being permanent , just a temporary fix, for I suspect that the influence will be back the next full moon. Just be glad that this will help you focus on the issue at hand." They both nodded as the group walked over to them.

"If you two are done with your own conversation," Chase said. "We need to start executing the plan." "Care to enlighten me about this plan?" Zac asked. Tyler sighed and said, "One of us will disguise as Zandar royalty and display the stone to the public. Then when Sledge and his goons come to steal it, we attack and get the Dino Charger they stole back. "Ok," Zac said. "Who is going to be the fake royal?" Everyone looked at him. "Me?" Zac shouted. "No, no ,no, no. I am not pretending to be some stuck up prince who prances around everywhere showing off how awesome he is." "Whoa, Zac," Chase said. "Calm down. It was just a suggestion. Geez, what's your problem with royals?" Zac gulped and said, "No reason. I just don't want to do it." "Ok," Riley said. "Then who do you suggest?" "Well," Zac said, "Since Tyler thought of the plan, he should do it. Shelby can join him as his princess." "What?" Shelby said. "It would look better that way," Zac said. "You could be wearing the stone as a necklace, Tyler can escort you, and you two would present it that way." "That's not a bad idea," Ms. Morgan said. Tyler and Shelby looked at each other, then said together, "We'll do it."

Up at Sledge's ship, Wrench was connecting the Dino Charger to some equipment to recharge it. "The Ptera Charger is connected." Fury was laying down in a chair with wires connected to him and he shouted, "Start charging it, you tin can!" Wrench turned the machine on, causing Fury to scream in pain. "Soon," Fury said. "I'll have the power to destroy the Rangers!" But the Dino Charger was not charging, angering Fury and he said, "Why isn't it charging?" "That thing inside you," Wrench said, "It's blocking the energy transfer." The machine suddenly turned off, powering down and Fury screamed in outrage. "Enough!" he shouted. "Wrench, give me the Ptera Charger!" "But," Wrench said. "It's not even half full!" "Hopefully, it's enough," Fury said. "I'll defeat the Rangers without your help, you worthless wind-up toy!" And he walked out of the lab with the Charger.

Elsewhere, Poisandra was watching TV. "Come on, everyone!" she said. "It's the latest Glitz World episode." Fury walked in and said, "What's going on here? You're watching that gossip TV show again! Get back to work! All of you!" The Vivix around Poisandra ran away and Poisandra turned around and said, "Oh, you fur ball, wait till Sledge hears about this!" And she walked out huffing. The TV was still on and Fury heard, "The Stone of Zandar exhibit has its grand opening tomorrow. It's rumored the Zandarian prince will be making a rare public appearance with his new bride. And she will bee wearing the stone itself!" "What?" Fury shouted as a picture of the stone showed on the screen. "A princess has the Gold Energem?" He then laughs manically.

Back at the lab, the Rangers were watching the same announcement on their TV. "Yes," Koda said. "Our fake story make it to TV." "Yeah," Riley said. "Good job, Kendall. Let's just hope Poisandra catches it." "I heard her say to Curio that she never misses an episode," Chase said when then turned off the TV. They hear Shelby yell, "This is the worst!" "And now for phase two of the plan," Zac said as he and the others say Shelby walk in wearing a princess outfit. All of the boys were stunned. "Wow," Chase said. "You look.." "Like cotton candy," Koda said, since she was wearing a pick puffy dress. Zac rolled his eyes at that statement. Shelby was huffing loudly and said, "I can barely breathe. And my feet feel like they're getting chomped on by alligators. No way. I'm not doing it. I refuse to pretend to be a whiny, spoiled princess! Thanks, Zac!" "What?" Zac said. "I thought you would love to do this. What girl wouldn't want to play princess?" "Well, wouldn't you want to play prince?" Shelby rebuttaled back. Zac shut up, looked down and mumbled, "Valid point there." Chase, Riley, and Koda looked at Zac weirdly before Chase looked back at Shelby and said, "Sounds like you don't have to pretend," which caused Shelby to throw one of her shoes at him. "But, Shelby," Koda said. "You have to. "Yeah," Riley said. "How else are we going to lure Fury close enough to get the Ptera Charger back? Besides, the fake story already went out and the public are expecting a princess with the prince." Shelby huffed and Ms. Morgan sighed, grabbing the shoe thrown at Chase out of Chase's hand, walked over to Shelby and said, "That's fine. I'll do it." "Thank you," Shelby said as she handed Ms. Morgan the other shoe. Then, the lab doors opened and Tyler walked in wearing a royal prince outfit. Shelby gulped, feeling her heart flutter with admiration. "Awesome, isn't it?" Tyler said as he walked up to the group. Shelby grabbed the shoes out of Ms. Morgan's hands, walked up to Tyler saying, "Maybe I should play the princess. Just so we can get the Ptera Charger back." Everyone gave her a weird look as Keeper walked up to her and said, "You know, Shelby, a princess does not have to be spoilt. A royal position can sometimes allow her to do good deeds. And to help out her nation and its people." He looked at Zac who gulped and walked away, causing Tyler and Shelby to look at Zac. "Ladies and gentlemen," Chase said, interrupting Tyler and Shelby's thoughts. "Presenting Prince and Princess of Zandar." The group applauded as Tyler and Shelby looped arms.

Later outside of the museum, the press were gathered around waiting for the arrival of the "prince and princess". Riley and Zac were disguised as secret service and Chase was disguised as a photographer. Riley put his hand to his earpiece and said, "Anything?" Chase pulled out his communicator and said, "All clear." Koda was up in a tree and said, "No Fury." "Just keep your eyes peeled," Zac said as the limo carrying Tyler and Shelby pulled up. The crowd started to applause as they exited the limo. Photographers started to take pictures as Shelby whispered, "Maybe I should take your arm." Tyler nodded and complied. They heard a photographer yell, "Can we get a kiss?" Shelby quickly gave Tyler a kiss on the check causing both of them to blush and continue walking up to the podium. Shelby looked over and saw Julien drawing. She saw this as a moment to help him and ran toward him. She pulled out one of his drawings and said to the crowd, "This is gorgeous! I must have it for the castle." Tyler understood what she was trying to do, grabbed another drawing and said, "And one for the summer palace." "Excellent idea," Shelby said. "Thank you, sir. Thank you." Shelby and Tyler walked away grinning while reporters started to hound Julien about his work. Julien was flustered but smiling as well at this. "Now, what do we do?" Tyler asked Shelby. "I don't know," Shelby whispered. "Fury should have shown up by now. Make something up." They reached the podium and Tyler turned around to speak to the crowd. "It was 800 years ago when the knight, Sir Ivan saved the prince from an evil, hideous, vile beast."

Suddenly, Fury jumped threw the banner behind them and yelled, "Surprise! Give me the Energem!" He swung his sword at Shelby and her necklace containing the Energem fell to the ground. Tyler picked Shelby up bridal style as Fury picked up the Energem and said, "With the Zord and now this Energem, you Rangers are finished! Summon Ptera Zord!" The Ptera Zord screeched and flew through the sky. "Finally," Fury said. "Endless Gold Energem power!" Fury jumped and landed inside the Ptera Zord. "I'm invincible!" he yelled. The crowd ran away as the Rangers ran up and looked up. "Does he have it?" Riley asked. "He has the Energem," Tyler said. "Now to power the Megazord!" Fury shouted. He inserted the Energem into its system.

Down below, Ms. Morgan called the Rangers and said, "The program will activate in three, two, one.." Up with Fury, the systems were sparking and he said, "The Energem is a fake! They fooled me!" Suddenly, the cockpit exploded and Fury was blown out, falling to the ground below. "Fury is down," Ms. Morgan said. "I'm sending you his position. Rangers, you have to get that Ptera Charger." "We're on it," Tyler responded.

Henchmen of Sledge were running up to Fury and shouted "Master Fury, what did the Rangers do to you?" "Hands off, spike ball!" Fury shouted. "We have company." He saw the Rangers ran up and get into position. He smirked and said, "Looking for this?" and held up the Ptera Charger. "Your little charade nearly paid off. But now, you'll pay the price!" "Trust me, I'm already paying it," Shelby said. "This heels are killing me. We got to morph." Zac snickered at that comment, he was sure glad that he never had to wear heels like girls did. Tyler and Chase ripped their fake facial hair off, causing Tyler and Chase to wince in pain. "We did look good, eh?" Chase asked. Tyler nodded as Zac rolled his eyes and said, "Guy, focus." They nodded and morphed. They powered up their Dino Steel and charged at Fury and his henchmen. They fought off all of the Vivix and went after the blue henchmen with Tyler, Chase, and Koda teaming off to defeat one while Riley, Shelby, and Zac defeated the other. Then Tyler and Zac went off to fight Fury with Chase lending Tyler his weapon and Shelby lending Zac hers. "This is it, Fury!" Zac shouted. "Para Chopper Blast!" Tyler shouted as he fired at Fury. Fury grunted in pain as he said, "You'll never get the Ptera Charger! It's mine to control!" "Don't count on it!" Zac screamed as he and Tyler started fighting Fury. Tyler combined his weapons to form the T-Rex Chopper while Zac combined his to form the Tricera Hammer. Fury attacked with his thunder attack while Tyler fired and Zac charged in spinning. The Rangers' attacks blasted Fury back. Zac ran up and held Fury down with his Tricera Hammer as Tyler ran up and yelled, "Give me the Ptera Charger or I'll destroy you! You've got no choice, Fury!" Fury looked at the Charger, then back at Tyler and Zac. He slowly started to hand Tyler the Charger when the energy from inside him started to come out. "Oh, no!" Fury shouted. "It's happening again." Zac was blasted back by the energy and Tyler backed away and demorphed. The other Rangers ran up and Koda yelled, "Do it, Tyler. Destroy him." Shelby ran over to help Zac up and shouted, "Tyler, what are you waiting for?" Tyler just stared at the energy and said, "It is possible? Dad?" Zac looked at Tyler curiously and thought, "What does he mean by that?" Fury stood up and shouted, "You will not escape me!" and forced the energy back into himself. "Nice try, Rangers." He shouted at his henchmen to get him to the ship and they disappeared. Tyler looked up at the sky with a worried look on his face.

Back at the museum, the gang were working at the cafe, minus Tyler. "No sign of Tyler," Koda said. "Yeah," Riley said. "It's not like him to be a no-show." "Maybe it has something to do with maybe seeing his dad," Zac said. "Which makes me ask, what does that mean?" Riley walked over and said, "Tyler's dad disappeared ten years ago during an expedition. Based on the journal he left Tyler, there was a drawing of Fury in it and Tyler must suspect that the weird energy could be his dad." "huh," Zac said. "And I thought I had parent issues." He saw the group look at him weird and he replied, "I'll tell you later." They got back to work as Julien came in on the phone saying, "London? They want to see my art in London? Yeah, ok. Just hold on a minute." He walked over to Shelby and said, "Shelby, I had to come tell you. Ever since the princess saw my sketches, I'm going to New York next week for my first show. And now, London." Shelby gasped and said, "That is so great, Julien. You totally deserve it." Julien smiled and said, "You always believed in me. Thanks. You're a great friend." Julien walked out of the cafe with his phone. "Keeper was right," Shelby said. "Being a princess is more than just wearing a tiara." She walked out with everyone except Zac following her. "If only that was the same for me," he whispered, remembering that the same comment was directed toward him. He chuckled and followed everyone out of the cafe.

Down at the base, Tyler was looking at a picture of him and his dad when he was little. Ms. Morgan entered the lab and said, "Tyler, I've been looking for you. From what I can tell, you had the chance to destroy Fury and retrieve the Ptera Charger, but you didn't. Why? What happened out there?" The others entered behind her and came up the them. Tyler didn't speak. Zac sighed and said, "It's ok. I wouldn't have destroyed Fury either. Not today." He put his hand on Tyler's shoulder for comfort. "Me either," everyone else said. "You made the right choice, mate," Chase said. "It was the only choice, Tyler," Shelby said. "Until you know for sure." Ms. Morgan looked at the group and asked, "Know what for sure?" Tyler finally spoke up and said, "That spirit, the one inside Fury, I think, ten years ago, he captured my dad. He's trying to escape. That's why I didn't destroy Fury." Keeper came up from behind them and said, "You followed your heart, my friend. That is never a mistake. Until whoever is inside of Fury is free, you cannot destroy him." Tyler nodded and looked back at the picture. Keeper looked at Zac and motioned him to follow him. He and Zac walked to a side cave while the others watched them walk away. "Another personal conversation that we can't be a part of," Chase said. "Chase, leave them be," Shelby said. "Whatever they are talking about Zac will share with us in time. It took him time to share his big secret with us, so we need to respect that." "Maybe it's the continuation from last night," Riley said. "Zac seemed out of focus due to the full moon, but seemed fine after our Energems glowed. Maybe he wants to ask Keeper about it." "Or maybe it about parent issues and being same as Shelby," Koda said. "What do you mean by that?" Ms. Morgan asked. "Earlier at the cafe," Riley said. "We told Zac about what happened to Tyler's dad and he said that he thought he had parents issues, but I didn't hear him say anything about agreeing with what Shelby said." They all looked at Koda who said, "He mumble saying "if only that were same for me". Sorry caveman have good hearing." "Maybe that could be why he wants to talk to Keeper alone," Chase suggested. "I remember when Keeper was talking to me," Shelby said. During that comment, he looked directly at Zac and he gulped, like Keeper knew something else about Zac that we don't. But like I said, I am sure Zac will tell us when he is ready." Everyone nodded.

"So, I have been thinking about this," Keeper said to Zac. "And I feel that the Energem, although it giving you your desire to suppress the moon's influence worked once, I believe that it won't help you forever. Your merman heritage will become too strong for the Energem's power to block off forever." Zac sighed and said, "So I have to give in to being royalty, huh?" "Yes," Keeper said. "Like I said to Shelby, being royalty is not about just wearing a crown. It's about doing good deeds and helping out a nation. I feel that yours needs that help from you and your sister." Zac looked at Fury and said, "I understand. I just am not ready for that big responsibility. And to give up my life for a nation that I know nothing about." "Then maybe I can help you with that," Keeper said. "I have studied many different nations throughout my millions of years on Earth. Think of it as a history lesson." "Oh, great," Zac groaned. "More schoolwork." He and Keeper laughed as Zac thought "But maybe this might help me realize who I am meant to be…"
