"Catlin! Are you okay? Are the Dino rangers with you?" Adam asked quickly.
We're all fine… ow! Conner don't smack me! Yes we're in a dungeon Conner! But we're not dead! Anyway… we're alright, but they have the crystal shard, and they're going to energize the Zeo Crystal tonight! Whatever you guys are planning on doing, do it soon.
"Don't worry Catlin… we'll get you guys out of there," Adam said assuredly.
Don't worry about us. Just get the crystal. Remember what I told you uncle, things aren't always as they seem, and that whole bit about your strongest enemy being yourself… oww Conner! I sware!!
Her voice trailed off and some scuffling could be heard over the communicator, "Catlin! Catlin!" Adam cried in alarm.
She's fine… she's kicking Conner's ass at the moment. Kat took the crystal from her; it was one hell of a battle. Just, hurry up and get up here, if not for our sakes, for the fact that I think Catlin's gonna kill Conner.
Trent's voice picked up where Catlin's had trailed off. Adam groaned, "Tell her I said knock it off, and we'll get there as soon as we can."
"Try to stay out of trouble guys… please," Tommy added, running his hand over his face.
Us? Trouble? We never get into trouble Dr. O.
"So… looks like our plans just got finalized in a hurry," Rocky said bouncing a knee nervously as he sat on the couch. "So…"
"We have one small problem. How are we going to be able to land the Megaship close enough to the palace to get there before he can absorb the power of the Zeo Crystal? It's a given that he's going to be on the lookout for it. Kat's probably mentioned we have it, in fact, he knows all about us now, our element of surprise is gone," Andros put in with a sigh.
"Not necessarily," Justin said as he walked in the door. "Guess who just joined the party," he said, nodding out the door.
Tommy, Adam, and Rocky all hopped up and ran to the door. "A… jeep?" Tommy asked, a bit in disbelief. "No offense Justin… but…"
Andros cut him off as he looked outside, "Storm Blaster!" he exclaimed. "Justin, where'd you find him?"
Justin shrugged, "I was outside trying to calm down, and he just showed up. He knows when I need help," he said with a smile.
"I don't mean to sound confused here," Rocky stated, "But I'm really confused… how can a jeep, help us get to the moon?"
Justin scoffed, "He's no ordinary jeep. He's a sentient vehicle, he and Lightening Cruiser helped us Turbo Rangers with Divatox." Storm Blaster flashed his lights and revved his engine as if to agree with Justin. "Not only that," Justin said with a big grin, "He has my morpher, and it's online."
"You mean…" Adam gasped.
"You can morph," Tommy finished for him, his eyes wide with shock.
"Yup! Isn't that cool or what?" He said with a smirk, causing Tommy, Adam, and Tanya to groan.
"Some things never change," Tanya said with a laugh. "Okay, so now we have to ways to get to the moon. Now what?"
"We split up," Jason replied. "Some of us go in Storm Blaster, some of us go in the Megaship, Storm Blaster is smaller, and can get closer, and then they can infiltrate the palace and cause a distraction, allowing Andros to set the Megaship down without commotion."
"Excellent plan, now who's doing what," Tommy said looking around.
"I think Rocky, Ethan and I should go in Storm Blaster," Justin responded. "It's a small number, but we can do major damage. Rocky and I are experts in our skills, and Ethan's got his dino gem power. Plus, Storm Blaster's got an affinity for us Blue Rangers," he added with a grin.
"A sentient vehicle, I get to RIDE in a sentient vehicle, I'm totally buggin, " Ethan exclaimed with what Conner called his 'geeked out' grin.
"Objections?" Tommy asked. When no one shook there head he nodded, "Great… we're good to go then. Ethan, your communicator works, you keep in contact with me on the Megaship, if anything goes wrong, let us know."
"You got it Dr. O," Ethan replied with a nod.
"Let's do it," Tommy said as they all headed for the door. "May the power protect us all."
Trent and Kira sat next to each other in the dungeon, watching Catlin and Conner beat the hell out of each other, "I wish we had popcorn," Kira said with a sigh, laying her head on his shoulder.
"You think we should stop them?" Trent asked as Conner cried out No… not there… don't hit me there!!
"Do we have to?" Kira asked listening to them as Catlin shrieked Did you just hit my breast? You don't hit women in their breasts! It's not nice!
"I think we might need too, we're gonna need all of us at full potential when Dr. O and his friends bust us out, and an injured Conner would be bad, besides, I think Dr. O would be mad that we just sat there and watched." Trent said with a sigh and got up, picking Catlin up off of Conner. "Alright easy tiger… we need him at full strength when we bust out of this place, besides, your Uncle Adam said to behave."
Catlin sighed, "But I was having fun," she said moving off to the side of the dungeon as Conner got up. "You need to learn how to fight," she said as she glared at him.
"I didn't mean to hit you there! I didn't have anywhere else to hit!" Conner retorted. "I still want to know HOW exactly are we alright? We're locked in the dungeon, they have the crystal shard, and if that freaky metal head dude gets that Zeo Crystal or whatever, we're toast."
"Because we have this," Catlin said pulling a metal key out of her pocket.
"What?"
"Is that the?" Kira asked in shock.
"That is not the key to the dungeon," Trent said in disbelief.
Catlin grinned, "Yeah, it is. So we wait a bit, give the others a chance to get up here, then we take our happy lil' behinds out of the dungeon and we take the enemy by surprise."
"How the hell did you get that?" Conner asked.
Catlin smirked, "A girl has to have some secrets now, doesn't she?"
