Hey Aqua here ;) Wow back so soon?! Amazingly it only took a few days to get this one rewritten up, though I wish it could that easy for the rest of the ch's (Sigh)

Oh and just as warning for those of you who don't know, Fanfictions having a few bugs right now, so your reviews can't be shown right now, but please don't let that stop you, I hear that this type of thing happens from time to time and will be fixed soon enough.

Well, let's get on with the show! ^_^


Chapter 11: Beneath the Surface

"Come on!" Ethan hissed, hitting the keys on his laptop rather excitedly. Sitting at the table behind him were the other four Rangers, who were attempting to finish up an English assignment that was supposedly due the next day but were ultimately failing due to the loud computer noises and Ethan's overly excited cheers. "Oh no you didn't! Eat laser, you intergalactic freak!" Conner, Kaitlyn, Kira, and Demi exchanged irritated looks before trying another attempt at ignoring the Blue Rangers loud computer game and focus on their homework.

"Dude, do you mind?" Conner asked, finally having had enough.

"Made it to level 12!" Ethan stated with glee, clearly oblivious to his friend's irritation. Shaking his head, Conner leaned over and pressed a button on the laptop, turning it off instantly. Ethan's cheerful smile instantly disappeared and was replaced with a look of complete horror.

"Hey! What are you doing?" he demanded, glaring at the Red Ranger.

"I can't concentrate with you blowing up things in my ear" Conner shot back.

"But it took me three hours to get to that level!" Ethan complained, turning back and staring at his blank laptop screen as if his life was suddenly over.

"Sorry Ethan, but I'm with Conner on this one," Kaitlyn shrugged apologetically. "We've got a paper due tomorrow and we really need to focus. And by the way, why aren't you working on yours?" she asked, an eyebrow raised.

"Finished it last week" Ethan told her. "Trent and I jammed on them while you were busy making out with uh—"

"James, I swear if you even think of finishing that sentence you're not going to make it past 18," Kaitlyn warned in a low tone, though both her and Conner's face were bright red with embarrassment, the blonde mermaid's eyes blazed with an angry glare that made the Blue Ranger gulp nervously.

"I wasn't going to…" he said, quickly turning back to his laptop while Kira and Demi started to giggle.

"Hey, where's Trent anyway? I thought he was working today?" Kira asked, glancing around the café.

"Hayley gave him the day off," Demi shrugged. "I think he's spending some quality time with his dad" she explained, returning to her paper as did the other three while Ethan silently returned to his computer game.


Walking into science class the next morning, Kaitlyn took her seat in between Kira and Demi's, all of them waiting for Dr. Oliver to come and explain the field trip they were going on.

"Hey, what's with her?" Kaitlyn asked Kira, an eyebrow raised at Demi who had her chin pressed against her folded arms, looking nothing but annoyed.

"Let's just say, she's not quite looking forward to the field trip" Kira whispered, grinning lightly.

"I want to be a fashion designer, not Indiana Jones" Demi grumbled. She looked up and glared at the two who snickered.

"Oh come on Demi, I think this'll be fun" Kaitlyn shrugged, smiling innocently. "besides we get to skip two classes today and I for one am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth" she winked at her. Kira smiled in agreement while Demi shook her head with an eye roll.

"Alright guys!" Dr. Oliver walked into the classroom as the late bell went off. "There's so much you can learn in a classroom! Who's ready for some field work?" he looked around as they all grabbed their stuff and started heading out of the classroom. Throwing her bag over her shoulder, Kaitlyn smiled brightly as she gladly took Conner's offered hand into hers. The Red Ranger smiled back and the pair walked out and headed for the bus.


Crouched down on her knee's, Kaitlyn brushed away the dirt that was in front of her, trying to find anything that would help her keep her grade in the class.

"I bet dad would be jumping for absolute joy if he saw me doing this," she mused to herself.

"Hey you guys!" Ethan's shout immediately caught her attention. "Over here!" getting up, Kaitlyn walked over to him with the others who were all just as curious. "Check it out, I think I found something," he showed them his discovery as he brushed away the dirt.

"Great, what is it?" Conner asked, as they crouched together beside it. Ethan brushed away the last of the dirt. The five all took in a sharp breath as they saw what is the ground.

"Is…is that what I think it is?" Demi gaped, her green eyes wide.

"it's a Dino Zord egg," Kaitlyn breathed. She then glanced up at her friends. "somebody's got to go pry Dr. O from Randall" she said, and Kira stood up.

"I'll do it," she told them, rushing to fetch the Black Ranger. The four remaining began to carefully dig the egg out of the dirt.

"What have you got there?" Doctor Oliver asked, reaching them with Kira behind him. Finally getting it out of the ground, the four stood up, and Ethan held out the egg.

"Think it might be a Dino Zord," he told him, and Dr. Oliver carefully took the egg from him and began to examine it.

"Ohhh, a discovery, how exciting!" they all jumped and looked around as Randall slowly approached them.

"Uh, no, we're not sure what it is," Dr. Oliver told her quickly, holding it in his arm and moving his body to obstruct the woman's view.

"It looks like a prehistoric egg," Randall spoke, rolling her eyes. She then held out a hand. "May I?" she requested with a rather sweet tone. The five glanced at their teacher, secretly pleading with him to come up with something. "Don't worry, I won't drop it" she insisted, smiling innocently and with a small sigh, he handed it over. The Rangers watched silently, holding their breath. None of them spoke up, knowing they'd not only get yelled at along with a week of detention, but bring even more suspicion that the egg was more than it appeared to be.

"I really should take that back to the school lab and examine it," after a moment, Dr. Oliver stepped forward and held out his hand.

"But of course," nodding in agreement, she passed it back. As he reached for it, a small group of Tyrannodrones suddenly showed up and swarmed the dig site, sending the rest of the science class into a terrified frenzy back to the bus, Dr. Oliver gave a quick nod to Conner, and the five teens ran to take care of the foot-soldiers.

"They've got to be after the egg you guys," Kaitlyn called to the others, flipping a Tyrannodrone into a pile of dirt, before she leapt back to avoid another.

"But how did they know it was here?" Ethan called, tripping one of the Tyrannodrone that was standing on the wooden path.

"Less talking, more fighting you guys!" Demi called back, punching a Tyrannodrone into one of the nearby wheel barrels. They continued to fight off the scaly foot-soldiers, in order to keep them away from the rest of the class. Meanwhile nearby Dr. Oliver was busy protecting both Randall and the egg, while using the principle as a weapon in order to fight back. After what felt like 20 minutes, what was left of the Tyrannodrones finally began to retreat. Randal ran over to where the egg had fallen, after retrieving it she threw it back to the Dr. Oliver who had easily caught it and the Tyrannodrones disappeared.

"Uh guys, we'd better get back on the bus, like now" Kaitlyn said, as she regrouped with the others.

"Good idea," Conner nodded, and the others nodded in agreement too. But as they immediately started to head for the bus, Randall blocked their path, looking rather furious.

"Would you care to explain to me where you all learned to fight like that?!" she demanded, glaring at the five.

"Uh, karate club," Conner spoke quickly, and the others gave quick nods of agreement before they ran back to the bus before the principle could interrogate them for more info.


Once school had ended, the Rangers went back to the lab to examine the egg.

"So what's up?" Kira asked, as she and the others watched Ethan scan the egg. "you got anything?"

"I dunno…something's seriously not right," the Blue Ranger shook his head, glancing at his friends. "I can't detect any signs of life!" he exclaimed, confused.

"That's weird" Dr. Oliver frowned as he looked at his students. "I'm sure that's a Dimetro Zord egg," he told them.

"Dimetro Zord?" Demi questioned, an eyebrow quirked.

"It's developed from the Dimetrodon, it's really amazing" he explained, looking at the egg as Ethan continued to scan it. They all were pretty confused about the whole situation.

"Well that would explain why the Tyrannodrones want it" Kira mumbled, and the other's nodded in agreement.

"But that doesn't explain how the egg got to the dig site in the first place," Kaitlyn spoke up. Ever since they had left the dig site, she couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right here. "or how the Tyrannodrones knew exactly where to find it" the others stood silent, not quite sure there was a good explanation to her questions.

"I need to check something…" Dr. Oliver walked over and sat down at the computer. After typing in a few keystrokes, the paleontologist frowned with confusion as he stared at the computer screen. "This is really weird; I'm still getting a heat signal from the dig site where we found the egg" he told them, and the five looked at each other with confused looks.

"But the egg's not even there anymore," Kira frowned.

"Maybe there's another one?" Ethan suggested with a shrug.

"in any case, I'd better go check things out," Dr. Oliver decided, getting up from his seat. "You guys stay here and keep analyzing this one," he told the four. They nodded and he headed for the dig site.


Kaitlyn tapped her pencil anxiously in between the pages of her history book that sat in her lap. It had been half an hour since Dr. Oliver left and there was no response from him nor the egg that Ethan was still scanning.

"Uh, guys" Ethan glanced at his friends as they gathered around him. "I really don't think there's a Dino Zord in here" he told them. Suddenly the computer beeped, and they looked at the screen as image of a light blue Zord rampaging through a forest played.

"Well, there's one" Conner mumbled.

"But how?" Kira whispered, her eyes narrowed in confusion. The five looked at each other, clearly the same idea on their minds.

"Can't we…"

"Open it?" Ethan finished. He carefully lifted the top of the machine that held the egg, and broke it open. White light shined out of it, before a hologram of Elsa appeared, smirking smugly.

"Not what you expected, Rangers?" she sneered, and with a menacing cackle the hologram shot into the air and disappeared with a pop.

"Ok, can I just say, I'm so over the whole evil-laugh thing," Kira grumbled.

"That woman is way beyond psychotic," Kaitlyn shook her head with a sigh. She turned her attention to the screen as the alarm went off again. "uh guys, we better get our Zords out there before that thing decides to turn the city into rubble," she suggested, and the four nodded in agreement as they stepped away from the machines.

"Ready?"

"Ready!" the five bracelets immediately changed into their respective morphers as they lifted them up.

"Dino Thunder Power Up, Hah!"

"Tyranno!"

"Ptera!"

"Tricera!"

"Plesio!"

"Hypa!"


Once arriving at the forest the Dimetro Zord was, the five morphed Rangers summoned their own Zords who began to fight off the rogue Zord with the same ferocity, but the description Dr. Oliver had told them about the Zord proved to be right on the money as the Dimetro Zord used the saw on its back to floor both the Ptera and Tricera Zord.

"Oh I can't watch this!" Kaitlyn groaned, covering the front of her helmet as her Plesio Zord was slashed and sent flying along with the Hypa Zord to the ground next to Kira and Ethan's Zords.

"Come on Tyranno Zord!" Conner called, as his Zord was the last one standing. The red mechanical T-Rex let out a roar as it started up its drill like tail and swung it at the Zord, but it's efforts proved to be completely futile as the Dimetro Zord roared and used its saw to counter and then sent the Tyranno Zord to the ground with a head-butt. With a terrifying roar, the rogue Zord dug into the ground and disappeared. "He's gone!" Conner groaned, right before the ground began to shake.

"Now what?" Kaitlyn yelled, as they stumbled.

"Targets located!" the five teens looked up to see a monster towering over them.

"You just had to go and ask," Demi grumbled as they backed away.

"Now what do we do?" Conner's mind raced, knowing that the Zords took some pretty heavy damage from their battle with the Dimetro Zord, but there was no other choice. "Dino Zords now!" he called, and the five Zords were back up again. They jumped into them, and combined them together to form the Megazord. "Do it Kira!" he turned to the singer who nodded.

"Pterarang!" she shouted, grabbing the wings from the front of the Megazord. They threw it at the monster, but the attack was easily deflected. "oh no!" Kira cried out.

"Tricera fist!" Ethan was up next, but before they could even get close to land a hit, the monster spun and swung its tail at them, knocking them back with a cry.

"Plesio Tail!" Switching the Tyranno Drill with the Plesio Zord, Kaitlyn charged the Megazord to slash the monster, but he blocked it with one of his swords and slashed the Megazord with the other, making the Rangers cry out as they stumbled back.

"Okay, this guy is seriously starting to piss me off!" Demi growled, a hand on her helmet as her head ached.

"Guys, I don't think the Thundersaurus is powerful enough," Dr. Oliver's voice echoed through their morphers. "You need something that can break through his armor"

"Like what?" Conner asked.

"Like a blade or a saw…" Dr. Oliver muttered, then was suddenly hit with an idea. "Wait a minute, you guys gotta use the Dimetro Zord!"

"The what?" Conner blinked, confused.

"The Dino Zord you were just fighting," Dr. Oliver exclaimed, and Kaitlyn shook her head.

"Uh Dr. O, in case you haven't really notice, that thing just thrashed our Zords!" the Silver Ranger pointed out.

"Let me see if I can do something about that…" he told them, going silent.

Suddenly, pink lightning shot through the air, and the Dimetro Zord reappeared again and attacked the Megazord with multiple slashes, knocking it to the ground and making the Rangers cry out. The monster laughed and decided to join in as it marched over and started stomping on the Megazord.

"Any time now would be awesome Doc!" Demi groaned, as they took another blow. The Dimetro Zord roared as it suddenly glowed with a bright purple light before shattering it, it then leapt and attacked the monster repeatedly, sending him away from the Megazord with a cry.

"He's all yours guys!" Dr. Oliver told the five as they cheered.

"Alright you guys, let's see what this baby can do!" Kaitlyn smiled brightly, and once again the Megazord's right arm detached and was replaced with the Dimetro Zord. They ran at the recovered monster, they broke through the first sword.

"Oh yeah!" Conner cheered.

"I love it!" Kira giggled as they broke through his other sword.

"Now I'm really mad!" the monster growled furiously.

"Oh? You want some more?" Ethan smirked. This time they hit the monster with their saw, and blasted him with fire.

"Dimetro Blade! Full Power!" the Megazord slashed the monster multiple times with the Dimetro Blade in several directions. He was immediately destroyed.


It was the next morning as the Ranger's sat in Dr. Oliver's class, doing their own thing.

"This is Cassidy Cornell with a special report," everyone immediately looked at the TV as Cassidy presented the morning announcements. "I have discovered that we have a superhero working right here at Reefside High," the five froze with one question burning in their mind as they watched the TV. Had Dr. Oliver finally been figured out? "Yes, our very own principle Randall fended off several prehistoric creatures in an act of selfless bravery" Cassidy announced brightly, and the Rangers all couldn't help but let out quiet sighs of relief, knowing that their mentor's secret was safe.

"Was that after the terrified screaming as Dr. O used her as a human weapon?" Demi whispered, smirking mischievously. The other four had to cover their mouths to contain their laughter as Dr. Oliver frowned at them.

"I was on the scene to bring you the exclusive footage," the blonde reporter continued, smiling brightly. "Let's roll tape" she announced, and a video played on the screen. But it wasn't the footage neither everyone nor Cassidy and Devin were expecting. Instead of the fight, it was a repeated sequence of Cassidy pulling a flower from the ground and ripping its petals off. The entire classroom burst into a roar of laughter as Cassidy appeared on the screen again, looking alarmed. "Uh, we seem to be having some technical difficulties, please stand by" the broadcast immediately ended as the students continued to laugh.

"I'm betting that Cassidy's going to have a pissed off Kendra on her hands now," Kaitlyn giggled, sensing that the president of the environmental club who was passionate on protecting the planet and everything on it was going to give the poor perky blonde reporter a serious lecture on the value of the environment.

"Yeah," Demi nodded, grinning. "but at least Dr. O's secrets safe" she whispered, and the others nodded in agreement as Dr. Oliver began to explain the day's lesson.


As their class ended, the five walked through the hallway corridor to their next period while Kaitlyn complained about the lecture she had received in history the other day.

"I mean it's completely unfair," she complained as Conner held her hand. "Mrs. Dolan expects me to stay awake in class, but how the heck can I when she's got that voice that just puts you out?" she pouted, and the other four laughed.

"Yeah, she does," Conner agreed with a chuckle, playing with the soccer ball in his other hand. "but give it time, you'll get used to her," he assured, giving her hand a quick squeeze. Kaitlyn smiled softly up at him in return. They started heading toward a corner, when Demi suddenly stopped them and told them to be quiet.

"Guys, check that out!" she hissed quietly, and they all carefully peeked over to see Dr. Oliver talking with principle Randall, who appeared to looking rather taken aback and dazed for a moment as the bell rang.

"That's the bell Dr. Oliver," she snapped at him suddenly. "your next class isn't going to teach itself" she told him coldly as he frowned. She stormed down the stairs, and the science teacher looked a little confused.

"Man, that woman's cold blooded," Ethan snickered as they walked down the stairs, making the Black Ranger jump and look around. He frowned, not liking the smirks on his five student's faces.

"Yeah, but remember, Dr. O's got a thing for dinosaurs," Conner chuckled, glancing at Kaitlyn who had to cover her mouth to hide her giggling as they started heading down the stairs.

"Don't start with me Conner," Dr. Oliver warned, making the Red Ranger laugh.

"Well I think it's a perfect match," Kira spoke up, grinning innocently.

"Yeah, you two could meet in the cafeteria, I hear it's very romantic," Kaitlyn giggled, earning a hardened scowl from the science teacher as the others laughed even harder.

"Aren't you guys late for your next class?" he sighed as they continued to follow him.

"Yeah, we were kinda hoping you could write us a note or something," Conner grinned at him.

"Yeah, I don't think I can take another pop quiz today," Demi spoke up hopefully.

"Dream on!" he told them, and they laughed as they walked outside, continuing to tease the teacher.


And that's all she wrote for this one, I seriously hope you like it :)
