Dino Charge: Merman Aqua Ranger

by TheCamdog9

Zac Blakely goes on a new adventure. But not in the way that he thinks. Instead of joining his mermaid sister and friends, he is traveling to Amber Beach to discover what this strange light blue stone he found at Mako Island has to do with dinosaurs. Zac's double life of being a human and a merman is about to get more complicated as he soon becomes the new Aqua Power Ranger.

14. Chapter 14: True Black

Dino Charge- Merman Aqua Ranger

Again sorry for the delay on this chapter. I am trying to add Mimmi and that part of the plot more into the story now and that was a challenge of what I wanted to do with that. But here is the next chapter.

And again thanks to everyone who reviewed and favorited this story.

Chapter 14: True Black

At a secluded beach of the Golden Coast of Australia, Mimmi was sitting near the water looking out into the horizon with a sad look on her face. It has been a few weeks since Zac left for who knows where since Zac did not tell her where he was going. She was missing her brother a lot. She has been trying to keep up high spirits around everyone, but she does not know how long she can keep it up. Ordina has started to notice that something was wrong, but Mimmi just kept saying that she was fine. Even her mother Nerissa was starting to notice too. She also was trying to pry information about where Zac was from her, but since Mimmi did not know where Zac was, Nerissa could not get anything out of her. Mimmi could tell that Nerissa was slowly becoming desperate to find Zac and have the twins return to her home to take their place as co rulers of the sea. Mimmi was more ready for the responsibility than Zac was since he many times refused to come with them home. Mimmi did not blame him for that; he spent most of his life away from life under the sea (Little Mermaid joke :) ) and did not want to give up his life as a human. It is ironic; Nerissa sent Zac to the human world to protect him from the unrest of the sea until he was ready to take his place as king, but Nerissa did not take into account that Zac became too accustomed to that human life. Mimmi had a similar problem where she was sent to live with the Southern mermaid pod to protect her until she was ready to become queen, but she had friends here that she would be leaving behind, like Ordina. She sighed as she looked at the horizon. She wanted Zac back with her to help her with everything that was going on, but she knew that wherever Zac was, he was finding who he was. However, Mimmi also was having some strange things happened since Zac left. Sometimes she could feel him even though he was thousands of miles away. She was also getting weird visions of Zac with people she did not recognize and creatures that he was seeing. Mimmi could not contact him because they were too far apart to use telepathy, but these feelings and visions were slowly becoming stronger. And her mermaid powers were becoming stronger as well. Recently she noticed that she could sense things that felt wrong and see things that were very far away. Nerissa told her that slowly her mermaid powers would become stronger, but this seemed too fast. Mimmi was becoming scared about all of these sudden changes. Looking out at the sea, she started to cry and thought, "Please, Zac. I am trying to be strong while you are away but I don't know how long I can manage it. I need you…"

Elsewhere in Amber Beach, Zac was jolted awake in the middle of the night. Somehow, he heard in his head was Mimmi was just thinking thousands of miles away. He felt her sorrow and worry. Zac shook his head and said, "Mimmi. Why can I feel her when she is miles away? I can feel what she feels and see what she is thinking. But how can that e? Another question to add to the "Ask Keeper Later" pile." Zac got out of bed and went to his laptop. He knew that Evie and Cam would still be awake at their time zone so he opened up the video app and sent a video call. Evie and Cam's faces came up and Cam said, "Hey, man. It's been a while. Why is your room so dark?" Zac yawned and said, "Because it is very early in the morning where I am." Evie looked shocked and asked, "Why aren't you asleep?" "I was sleeping but something happened that woke me up," Zac answered. "I could feel Mimmi from where I am." Evie and Cam looked shocked with Evie saying, "How can that be? You two are thousands of miles apart for you two to feel your connection to each other." Zac sighed and said, "My powers have been growing quickly in the last few weeks. I think it has to do with my Energem. It must be helping my merman powers develop quicker than normal. But I woke up because I could feel her sadness. She is more emotionally crippled than I hoped she would be since I left. I could feel all of her sorrow and worry about our destiny and not knowing where I am. I have been thinking about this for a while, but I feel that she should start being a part of our video chats." "What?" Cam shouted. "Didn't you say that you did not want her to know where you are so that Nerissa won't find out?" "Yes," Zac said. "But I don't know how much longer I can handle getting her depressed feelings like this. Have you guys noticed anything like that from her?" "A little," Evie replied. "I can tell that she is putting on a brave face in front of us, but I can see the sadness in her eyes a lot. I too think that she should join our video chats. But we can still keep your location and secret job a secret. I don't think she will fully understand what you are doing as a Power Ranger." Zac nodded and said, "Good. Then tomorrow morning, your time, have her join the next video chat. Hopefully that will help put her at ease a little bit. I will see you two then." Zac then turned off the video chat and went back to bed. "Soon, Mimmi," he thought. "We will talk soon. Don't worry…"

Back where Mimmi was, she stood up suddenly and felt Zac's thoughts. She smiled at realizing that Zac was thinking about her and somehow knew that he could feel her sadness. But she thought of what he meant by "We will talk soon". She then decided to walk to the cafe to see if any of her friends were there. Evie and Cam were sitting at a table looking at Evie's laptop together. They seemed to be whispering to each other about something. Mimmi walked over to them and said, "Hey guys," Evie and Cam looked up shocked and Cam said, "Hey Mimmi. What's going on?" "I thought I would come to the cafe to see if anyone was here," Mimmi answered. "And I found you two. Is everything OK?" Evie and Cam looked at each other and Evie said, "Everyone can tell that you have been sad lately, even Zac somehow. He told us that he wants you to join in our video chat tomorrow." Mimmi looked shocked and said, "You two know where he has been this entire time and have been talking with him?" Cam stood up and said, "Zac wanted to keep his location a secret. He felt that if you knew where he was, Nerissa would get that info out of you and drag him back to her home. He needed to go off to figure out his life on his own without that pressure. He did not mean to upset you. He wants you to join the video chats so that he can help you calm down. To know that he is fine and thinking about all of us, even you." Mimmi calmed down and said, "Fine. I am still upset with you two and him that you kept this from me, but I understand why you did. I understand that Mom, Nerissa, can be demanding at times, but if Zac needs to figure out who he is without pressure, then I get it. I feel the same way. But yes, I want to be part of the video chats. I want to see that he is OK." "Good," Evie said. "We will meet here tomorrow morning and we will talk to him." Mimmi smiled and nodded.

Up at Sledge's ship, one of Sledge's underlings was getting a prisoner out of his cell saying, "You're in luck, Gold Digger. Sledge wants to see you." Gold Digger was dragged along saying, "Ok, ok. But first, let's test your luck." He then pulls out a coin. "Heads or tails?" He throws the coin in air with the underling catching it in his hand calling out tails, then heads, changing his mind. The coin starts to glow in his eyes with Gold Digger saying, "Either way, you lose." The underling then blows up with Gold Digger laughing. "I'm out of here, you fools." Sledge then comes around the corner and says, "Gold Digger. Stop wasting perfectly good guards. If you want your freedom, save your tricks for the Rangers. Bring me the Energems or I'll melt you down into Poisandra's jewelry." Gold Digger became scared and said, "Please, Master Sledge, anything but that."

Out in the woods, the Rangers were training: Tyler was doing handstands to work on upper body strength, Ivan and Riley were sword fighting, Koda was going through the obstacle course, Zac and Shelby were box fighting/kicking with each other, and Chase was in Ranger form working with Ms. Morgan on weapons. Zac was struggling against Shelby because of his lack of sleep the night before. Shelby knocked him down again with Shelby scoffing, "I win. Again." She helped Zac up and asked, "What's with you. Usually we are evenly matched but today I am wiping the floor with you. No offense. You seem sluggish today." "Sorry," Zac said. "I did not get a lot of sleep last night." Shelby sobered up and said, "Sorry." Zac shook his head and said, "It's ok. Besides, letting you win every once in a while is a good thing." Shelby looked shocked and said, "Wait. When have you let me win?" Zac mumbled but no sound came out. Shelby puts her gloves up and said, "Ok. Let's try this again."

Ms. Morgan walked over to Chase and said, "Ok, you ready?" Chase replied, "Ms. Morgan, I agree, training is important, but you want me to fly through that concrete wall?" Kendall nodded and said, "Correct. The Dino X Jaws are designed to be that tough. It works with Energem power." Chase sighed and said, "Ok. I'll give it a try. Dino Armor X Charger, ready." He powered up the charger and exclaimed, "Whoa, extreme power. well, here I go. Spiral attack." He launched into the attack and broke through the wall, but he spiraled out of control and nearly hit Shelby and Zac before he stopped and demorphed. Chase looked excited and said, "Oh, sweet. Ah, it works great, Kendall. I mean, Ms. Morgan." The other guys, minus Zac, cheered behind Ms. Morgan, but Ms. Morgan pointed to Shelby and Zac behind him at a hollowed out tree near them. "Hello?" Shelby asked. "Oh," Chase said. "Sorry, Shelby, Zac. It's got more power than I realized." Shelby scoffed at him with Zac saying, "I don't think that's what she meant, Chase." Chase was about to ask, but then heard a song playing in the background and instead said, "Hey, that's the NZed boys. They're from New Zealand. You're not one of those crazy fans, are you? The ones that know all the lame lyrics by heart? Who wear the NZed Boys t-shrits?" Shelby rolled her eyes and said, "No. I'm not that crazy." Zac was looking between the two and he did not like where the conversation was heading; he had learned the hard way not to make fun of something a girl really likes with Evie and her huge fan crush of Chris Hemsworth. Chase looked at Shelby and said, "Oh, you weren't planning on going to their concert tonight, were you?" Shelby sighed and said, "Well, maybe. This is the first time they've every played outside of New Zealand." Chase laughed and mockingly sing the lyrics like a fangirl would with Shelby turning around, looking embarrassed. Zac sighed and said, "Hey, I like that you like them. They do have good music." Shelby looked at him and said, "Really?" "Yes." Zac replied. "My girlfriend Evie would listen to their music a lot. She was planning on going to their concert when they come to Australia later this year. I offered to get tickets for her and I." Shelby smiled and said, "Why can't all guys be like you?" Zac shrugged and joked, "Maybe they are all hiding under the sea." Shelby playfully hit his shoulder laughing; Zac was happy that she cheered up after what Chase did.

Later, the Rangers all returned to the museum to work at the cafe. Ivan had just started working there, using his knightly charm with the customers. Shelby walked over to Koda and asked, "Have you seen Chase? He's an hour late for work." "No," Koda replied. In the kitchen, Tyler, Zac, and Riley were cooking and cleaning up. Riley sighed and said, "Breakfast rush, done." Zac sighed too and said, "You said it, Riley." Shelby walked in with dirty dishes and said, "Don't relax now. Lunch rush." Chase walked into the kitchen and Shelby walked over to him and asked, "Chase, where have you been? I need to go get tickets for the NZed Boys concert tonight." "No worries," Chase said. "I'm sure they've got heaps of tickets. They're not that popular." Shelby walked to and hung up her apron, revealing a NZed Boys shirt underneath. Chas saw this and said, "Oh, you are one of those crazy fans." Zac rolled his eyes at Chase's antics towards Shelby as the radio DJ on the stereo said, "That's the Need boys, the kiwi sensation. If you were planning on seeing them tonight, too bad, they are completely sold out." Shelby looked at the radio and said, "No, no. This was my one chance to see them in concert and now I've missed it." Chase shrugged and said, "No, you're not missing anything. Trust me." Shelby sighed and said, "I know you think they're lame. I got that." Shelby started to tear up and she ran out of the kitchen. Tyler walked up to Chase and said, "Hey, man, lighten up. You hurt her feelings." Chase shrugged and said, "No, she'e fine." Zac came up and wacked him on the side of the head. Chase rubbed his head and said, "Hey, man, what the heck?" Zac glared at him and said, "You clearly hurt her feelings. But you're too selfish to see that. She's our teammate, like a sister. And a brother would help his sister when she is feeling sad." Zac got a sad look on his face when saying that last part, with the other guys growing concerned, thinking that last statement meant something more to Zac since they knew about his sister, Mimmi. Before any of them could ask, their communicators went off. Kendall was on the line and said, "Alien vital signs. Everyone head out." Tyler nodded to the group and they ran out of the kitchen, but one of the female customers stopped Ivan and asked, "Excuse me, can we get some ketchup?" Ivan looked unsure if he should follow his teammates or help the customer out, so he decided to help and said, "Uh…but of course." He found a ketchup bottle and give it to her. Before he could walk off, she replied, "And mustard. And a side of pickles." Riley was trying to tell Ivan to come along, but Ivan said, "I shall be along forthwith."

The rest of the Rangers followed the coordinates to a part of the woods. Riley said, "These are definitely the coordinates that Ms. Morgan gave us." "I bet Sledge found our training area," Tyler replied. Koda looked ahead and said, "Oh, look!" and ran ahead and grabbed a gold coin that was on the ground. "It my lucky day." He found more coins, much to the confusion of the other Rangers. "Who would have left these here?" Shelby asked. Koda held a huge amount of coins inn his hands and said, "It's so shiny." Zac immediately felt his senses go strong as he had a strong feeling that something was not right. He saw the coins glow unusual and he ran and threw the coins out of Koda's hands and yell, "Take cover." The others ran for cover and the coins blew up. Koda looked up and said, "Coins gone." Riley looked over at Zac and said, "You sensed something was off about them?" Zac nodded as the group heard laughing around them as the group of villains surrounded them and Poisandra said, "Time for a little payback, Rangers." Gold Digger added, "And I've got money to burn." He grabbed some coins and threw them at the Rangers, who jumped out of the way as they exploded. "Your Energems will soon be mine." The Rangers got in line as Chase yelled, "It's morphing time." The group morphed into Power Rangers and got in a fighting stance. The entire group jumped in a nearby quarry (Author side note: This is obviously done so that the Japanese footage could be used. I have seen both Dino Charge and its Japanese counterpart so it is easy to tell during fight scenes which is American and which is Japanese. Back to the story.) Tyler looked at Gold Digger and said, "This guy looks like a museum threw up." The Rangers charged and attacked Gold Digger. The monster yelled, "You can't talk, you box of crayons." On a nearby hill, Poisandra yelled, "That's it, give the Rangers their money's worth." Wrench looked at Poisandra and said, "Are you crazy? He's useless. I'll take care of this." He jumped down and ran toward the Rangers, reaching for his axe and said, "Mind if I cut in? Let me show you how it's done." He rolled Gold Digger out of the way and fought the Rangers himself. He grabbed Tyler and Zac and pushed them backwards with his axe. Poisandra grabbed Gold Digger and said, "Don't let that time can push you around, Gold Digger. Get back in there and fight." "Yes, ma'am," Gold Digger replied. "Over here Rangers." He lend the other Rangers in another direction and they followed him, leaving Poisandra and her sidekick, Curio, behind, both mad.

Back with Wrench, Tyler, and Zac, they were fighting each other with Tyler saying, "Face it, Wrench, pigs will fly before you beat us." "Oh, yeah?" Wrench replied. "Well, watch me fly." He flew and swung his axe down to the ground, creating a huge blast and knocked Tyler and Zac off their feet to the ground. "Now I get get those Energems," Wrench said as he approached the boys. Suddenly, Ivan's saber landed on the ground, blinding Wrench. Ivan kicked Wrench back. Tyler and Zac looked up and said, "Ivan?" Ivan turned to them and said, "Behold, those damsels gave me my first tip." He held up a one dollar bill. Zac commented, "All that for a dollar?" Ivan nodded and said, "I agree, most kind." He looked at Wrench and said, "Prepare to feel the wrath." The three boys charged at Wrench to continue the fight.

The others were continuing their fight with Gold Digger back in the quarry. "He is trapped," Koda said as they cornered Gold Digger. The monster chuckled and said, "You're in luck. Let me spread the wealth." He threw more coins at the group who jumped out of the way to dodge them. Riley pulled his sword out and said, "Your luck's run out money bags." As Riley charged at the monster, Gold Digger pulled out a stone slab to block the attack. "His slab is like stone," Riley said. "We need extra power." Shelby powered up her Dino Steel and aimed her drill at Gold Digger, but she could not get through his stone slab and was knocked back. "Shelby, you OK?" asked Koda. Gold Digger laughed and said, "I have to tell Wrench about this." and he ran off to the woods where Wrench was fighting the other Rangers. The Rangers chased after him.

Wrench was battling Tyler and said, "You're going down, Red Ranger." He knocked Tyler down, but Ivan jumped in and attacked saying," I'm afraid you're quite mistake.." He was interrupted y Wrench knocking him backwards. Zac saw this and yelled, "Ivan, Tyler. I got your backs!" He got several hits onto Wrench, but then the monster swung his axe at Zac, knocking him back several feet. Wrench laughed and said, "Finally, I'm going to…" "Wrench!" Gold Digger yelled as he, followed by the other Rangers came in. "I know how we can beat the Rangers." "They why aren't they destroyed?" Wrench asked. Gold Digger pointed at the Rangers and said, "I'll crush them with my stone slabs." "You'd better," Wrench said. "Or Sledge will crush you." The Rangers were all together when Gold Digger pulled out more of his stone slabs and threw them at the Rangers. They multiplied and the Rangers dodged all of them. "Hold still." Gold Digger yelled. "You can't escape my slabs forever." Chase stood up and said, "Don't worry guys. I can break through his slab with the Dino Armor X Jaws." He powered it up, but it backfired one him. Gold Digger laughed and said, "Pathetic." He threw more stone slabs at the Rangers, trapping Tyler, Shelby, and Ivan. "We're going down!" Tyler shouted as he, Shelby, and Ivan had trouble holding the slabs up, and they were pushed underground. Chase looked in horror and said, "Oh, no. Tyler, Shelby, Ivan." Gold Digger laughed and said, "I'll crush you into the ground like the others." Chase yelled, "Guys, run!" The group ran, with Zac looking back at where the others got pushed underground. He hated the fact that he was leaving his fallen teammates behind, but the others had to retreat. He turned and ran after the others.

They all made it to a clearing with Riley saying, "I think we're out of range." Suddenly their communicators went off and Chase answered it, seeing that it was their trapped teammates. "Shelby, Tyler, Ivan, you OK?" Chase asked. Tyler coughed and said, "The slab pushed us deep underground. There's a pocket of air, but it's not gonna last long." "We're getting help," Chase answered. He ended communications and the group ran back to the museum. Tyler coughed and said, "Guys, don't give up." They all tried to push the slab upwards, but it would not budge.

Back at the lab, Kendall was analyzing the Dino Armor X Jaws charger. "We've got to hurry," Chase said. "I know I can save them if the Dino Armor X Charger works." Kendall took it out of the machine and said, "There's nothing wrong with it." Chase looked shocked and said, "What? Something is definitely wrong with it." Kendall sighed and said, "It worked when you tested it, and the transmitter says it works now. Somehow, the problem is with you." Chase got a shocked look on his face and said, "You think I'm the problem?" Zac rolled his eyes knowing that Kendall was right on that statement and was irritated at Chase for not seeing it, plus still being angry for the others' situation. Kendall turned to the other boys and said, "Riley, Koda, Zac, it's a long shot, but if it won't work with black energy, maybe it will work with blue, green, or aqua? I'll adjust the Dino Armor X Charger." Chase thought for a moment then said, "There's no way this is my fault." Zac could not take it anymore and stepped forward to Chase and said, "Yes it is. Can't you see it? Or do you think you are just awesome Chase like you always think?" Chase and the others looked at Zac with shock. Sure they remembered when he ranted about his merman heritage which nearly wrecked the lab with his powers, but he has never directed that anger at a team member. Kendall looked at the beakers and saw that the liquids in them start to bubble due to Zac's anger. She tried to say something but Zac cut her off by saying, "You don't care what others think. You only care about yourself. Did you ever see that you upset Shelby earlier by making fun of her love for the NZed Boys? No, but I saw it. I saw the tears in her eyes that you caused. She is our teammate, our sister. And getting her sad by making fun of her is not what a brother does. You should feel her pain, even if you were the one who caused it." "Zac!" Kendall yelled. Zac turned around and saw that his anger almost got the lab wrecked again so he calmed down and the lab went back to normal. Keeper appeared and said, "The black Energem bonded with you not just for your bravery but for your heart too." "Come again?" Chase said with a confused look on his face, part of it due to still reeling in from Zac's attack on him. Keeper sighed and said, "If your energy has been disrupted by doing something not true to your heart, then the Dino Charger may not work." Chase looked down and said, "Zac's right. I have been selfish lately. Me being mean to Shelby must be the reason." Keeper nodded then spoke to Zac saying, "As for you, I understand that you have been experiencing your sister's pain, haven't you." The others looked at Zac while he sighed and said, "Yes. Last night I woke up to sensing her sadness and pain of me leaving her behind to come here. She does not know where I am, for her safety and so that Nerissa does not drag me back to her home. I hate causing her pain, but I want to protect her. I was going to talk to her tonight to help ease her sadness." Keeper thought for a moment and said, "I can see the logic in that. But maybe you should not take out your frustrations on your teammates." Zac nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Chase." Chase nodded, then the communicators went off with Shelby on the line. She coughed and said, "Guys, I think our air is almost gone." An alarm blared in the lab and Kendall looked at the screen and said, "Their oxygen levels are near critical. We're out of time. I don't know if these will work without black energy, but it's our only chance." "Your friend's lived are in your hands," Keeper said. "Time is of the essence, Rangers." The group ran out of the lab, with Chase looking down at the charger then running after them.

The boys were running back to where the other Rangers were trapped with Chase saying, "I'll cover you while you try your Dino Armor X Charger." The others nodded and they came to the clearing where the others were trapped, but Gold Digger and Wrench were there waiting for them and blocking the stone slabs. Wrench shouted, "Here to free your friends, Rangers?" "Donn't hold your breath," Gold Digger said. The two monsters charged at the Rangers and Chase said to the others, "I'll keep them off you." He charged at the monsters, and Zac said, "Let's hope it works with blue, green, and aqua energies." They powered up the Dino Chargers, but like with Chase, it backfired and threw the three backwards to the ground. Chase soon landed near them as he was blasted by the two monsters. "Dino Armor X must only work with black energy," Riley said. The three ran up to Chase with Koda saying, "You must save them." The three boys got their swords out and Zac said, "We will take on these two monsters. Just remember what Keeper said." The three charged at the monsters as Chase got up from the ground and said, "Right, come on Chase, you can figure this out." His communicator went off with Shelby on it looking tired and she said, "Please…I think…we're running out." "No!" Chase shouted. "Hang on, Shelby. Keeper said I disrupted my energy because of my heart. I know now it was because of what I said to Shelby. Zac was right. Shelby, I shouldn't have teased you so much about likening the NZed Boys. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but I did. And that threw off my energy so the Dino Armor X Charger didn't work." Shelby looked weakly at him and said, "It's OK, Chase." Chase shook his head and said, "No, it's not OK. I'm sorry." The communication went dead with Chase starting to freak out about Shelby and the others. "Dino Armor X is their only chance. I won't let you down, Shelby. Please work. Dino Charger, ready." He powered it up, and to his surprise and relief, it worked. "Armor X, ready." He glared at the two monsters, with Wrench saying, "You're never getting past me, Black Ranger." He threw his axe at Chase, but Chase knocked it out of the way. "What?" Wrench said in horror. "Gold Digger, get over here!" Chase glared at Wrench and said, "Nothing is stopping me. Spiral Attack." He charged at the two monsters with his attack and went right through them. "I've got to save, Shelby, Ivan, and Tyler," Chase said. He ran to where they were trapped and activated the Spiral Drill. The two monsters watched in horror as Wrench said, "He's dug right through your slabs." The other Rangers ran into the scene with them all looking in wonder at Chase using the Dino X Armor with success. Zac smiled and said, "Good on you, Chase. You figured it out." Seconds later, Chase jumped out with the three previously trapped Rangers in tow. "They all right," Koda said. Chase demorphed and looked and Shelby who was in his arms. He said, "I'm sorry you missed the concert. Can you ever forgive me?" Shelby looked up at him and said, "I already have." The others ran over to them with Riley saying, "Thank goodness you guys are OK." "We very worried," Koda added. Zac looked at Chase and said, "Good job, man. Maybe you aren't that selfish guy I thought you were." Chase smiled at him, but saw the monsters getting up behind him with Wrench saying, "Yikes! They got out. More slabs." Gold Digger pointed at Wrench and said, "You make it sound easy." Chase and the others glared them down with Chase saying, "Haven't you learned your lesson? It's morphing time."

He, Shelby, Tyler, and Ivan morphed back into the Ranger armor. Everyone powered up their Dino Steel and got their individual weapons and Chase powering up the Dino X Armor. They chased Gold Digger into a nearby quarry (again so that the show could use Japanese footage) with Gold Digger saying, "This time, I'll bury you." "Not if we try you first," Tyler retorted back. Then they went down the line with their battle calls. "Tyrannosaurus Rex, Power Ranger Red." "Parasaur, Power Ranger Black." Stegosaurus, Power Ranger Blue" "Velociraptor, Power Ranger Green." "Triceratops, Power Ranger Pink." "Pterodactyl, Power Ranger Gold." "Ankylosaurus, Power Ranger Aqua." "Dinosaur might, ready to fight. Power Rangers, Dino Charge." They all poised into their battle poses with a huge explosion went off behind them. (Because why not) Wrench finally caught up with the group and said, "You'll wish you had stayed underground." Gold Digger summoned Vivix who charged in to attack the Rangers. The multicolored team charged through them with no problem thanks to their weapons. Tyler and Zac were fighting Gold Digger, but they were having some trouble because Tyler's T-Rex Smasher and Zac's Ankylo Hammer could not get though the stone slabs. Chase was fighting Wrench one on one with him saying, "All right, tin man. You're about to get recycled." Wrench laughed and said, "Your new power won't stop me." Chase dodged his attack with him saying, "Oh, please. Fighting you is easier than a spin class with training wheels." "I don't get it," Wrench said. "What's a spin class?" Chase laughed and said, "I'll give you a demonstration. Spiral Attack." He used the Dino X Armor and spun Wrench around and around, finally throwing him up into the sky far away from the battle.

Tyler and Zac were still having some trouble with Gold Digger. "Haven't you learned yet?" Gold Digger asked. "You can't break my slabs." Zac saw Chase running toward and said to Gold Digger, "Maybe not, but he can." He and Tyler jumped out of the way as Chase used his Spiral Attack and knocked down Gold Digger. "That was only one slab," Gold Digger said. "Guys," Chase said, realizing what Gold Digger was going to do. "He's gonna multiply. Tyler, the Dino Spike." Tyler readied the Dino Spike with the other Rangers minus Chase helping him launch it while Chase used the Spiral Attack, destroying Gold Digger.

Up on Sledge's ship, the monster himself got frustrated with Gold Digger's defeat. "Gold Digger's not done yet." He powered up his machine that then revived Gold Digger and made the monster grow.

"Guys," Chase said. "Our problem just multiplied." The group called their Dino Zords and created the Dino Charge Megazord. The group minus Ivan jumped into the Megazord and readied to fight Gold Digger. The monster laughed and said, "Prepare to be crushed." He pulled out some of his stone slabs and threw them at the Rangers. Some landed on the Megazord and the robot tried to hold it up, but it was too heavy and the Megazord started to sink into the ground. Suddenly the Pterozord flew in and flew to help the Megazord as it sunk into the ground. "I win!" Gold Digger shouted. But he then got shocked by the Pterozord who was carrying the Megazord. "Surprise!" Tyler yelled. "The Pterozord saved us just in time." "Ha, we tricked him," Shelby said. They activated the TriStegoPtero formation and readied to fight Gold Digger again. They used the Final Lightning Strike and destroyed Gold Digger once and for all. "Now that's a buried treasure," Tyler said, with Zac slightly rolling his eyes at the bad pun. "Tyler needs to work on those more," he thought.

Back at the cafe, the Rangers were in the kitchen listening to the radio which was playing a song from the NZed Boys. Ivan walked in and said, "What on earth are you doing? The customers, they hunger." The group shushed him with Tyler saying, "Shh. The song is about to end." The song ended and the radio DJ said, "It's sold out, but you can still win VIP passes to tonight's NZed Boys if you're our ninth caller." The group pulled out their cell phones and called the number that was provided. The radio DJ says on the radio, "Looks like we have a winner. Hello ninth caller?" The group hear a man's voice on the radio saying that he won and the group become disappointed. Koda looked at the radio and said, "First, song make me want to punch radio. Now I love. I need concert." Zac looked over at Shelby who had a sad look on her face. He wrapped his arm around her and said, "It's OK, Shelby. We all tried." Shelby gave him a small smile and said, "Thanks, Zac." On the radio, the DJ asked the ninth caller for his name. Suddenly Chase barged into the kitchen with him talking on his cell phone, revealing that he was the ninth caller. "My name is Chase, mate." The radio DJ told him congrats and saying that he will see him and his friends at the concert. The group laughed and ran over to Chase hugging him. Ms. Morgan walked in seeing the excitement and said, "We're all taking the night off." Tyler looked up and said, "Come on, let's lock up and go get ready." Zac looked at the group and said, "While you all do that, I need to make a video call really quick. I promised my sister that she could finally talk to me today. Don't worry it won't take that long. The concert is not for another couple of hours." The others nodded and they all ran out but Chase stopped Shelby and said, "Oh, hey, um, I'm really sorry again about what happened. I need to be more careful with what I say. Teasing can really hurt people's feelings." Shelby smiled and said, "So, does that mean you're not perfect as you think you are?" Chase scoffed and said, "Come on, no one's perfect. But, I'm as close as it gets. Let's go get those tickets." Shelby laughed and she and Chase ran after the others.

In another room at the museum, Zac pulled out his laptop and pulled up the video chat app and called Cam and Evie, hoping that Mimmi would be with them. The call took hold and he saw Cam, Evie, and much to his relief, Mimmi's faces on the screen. Mimmi smiled brightly and said, "Zac! I can't believe I am able to see you again. On this screen no less." Zac laughed, knowing that she still did not understand everything about the human world. "It's good to see you again Mimmi. As well as you two, Cam and Evie." Evie smiled and said, "Same here. So, how was your day today?" Zac was about to go into his battle with Gold Digger, but knowing that Mimmi did not know his Ranger secret, decided to say instead, "My day has been up and down. I had to work on my summer courses thanks to Ms. Morgan, the head of the museum, worked at my job at the museum cafe with the others…" "What others?" Mimmi asked. Zac remembered that she did not know about his new friends at the museum and said, "The others who work with me at the museum cafe, Tyler, Chase, Koda, Riley, Shelby, and Ivan. They are all really nice and we have become good friends. But that does not mean that they replace you guys." Cam laughed and said, "We know that." Zac laughed too and continued, "One of them won tickets to see the NZed Boys tonight." Evie gasped and said, "That new pop group from New Zealand? How on earth did he get them? Their concerts always get sold out so quickly." Zac laughed and said, "From a radio contest. They were looking for the ninth caller and he was the ninth caller. So we are leaving in a little bit to go get the tickets and see them." "Wow," Mimmi said. "You sound like you are having a lot of fun over there." Zac saw that Mimmi was getting a sad look on her face and said to Cam and Evie, "Hey Cam, Evie? Can I talk to Mimmi one on one for a little bit?" They both nodded and went off the screen to another location where Zac could not see them. Zac looked at Mimmi and said, "Hey, I know that you have been struggling with this. Cam and Evie have noticed it." Mimmi started to get tears in her eyes and said, "I miss you Zac. I understand why you are doing this but I still miss you. I miss the close connection we had. Even though sometimes I can still feel you even though you are thousands of miles away." Zac sighed and said, "So you have been feeling my thoughts even though we are too far apart for that to work. Have you noticed anything else about your powers? New ones coming on, older ones feeling stronger?" Mimmi thought for a moment and said, "Now that you mention it, yes. Sometimes I can hear what you are thinking and some of my older powers have become stronger. I was practicing with some of my water powers and they almost got too out of control and more powerful than they have been in the past. And recently I noticed that I could see things that are far away and sense things that feel off. Has this been happening to you too?" Zac nodded and said, "That's why I asked. The same things about my powers have been happening to me too." "Maybe this is just the next step into becoming the rulers of the seas," Mimmi suggested. To her surprise Zac did not flinch as bad as in the past with mentioning their destiny and he said, "Maybe. This could be a sign that it may be happening quicker than I thought. Have you mentioned any of this to Nerissa?" Mimmi shook her head and said, "No. To be honest, I haven't really talked to her that much since you have been gone. When I have, she is always asking if I know where you are. I feel that she is slowly becoming more desperate in finding you and bringing both of us to her home so that we can be crowned and bring peace back to the seas." Zac looked worried and said, "She hasn't hurt you or used our connection to find me, has she?" Mimmi again shook her head and said, "No, she hasn't. But I am afraid that she might do that soon. While I understand why you had to go away, she does not. She thinks that you are just avoiding the inevitable and I feel that her patience may run out soon. So please be careful." Zac smiled and said, "I will. I will be back when the time is right. I have realized a lot of things since I have been here and I think I am closer to making my decision on my life." Mimmi looked worried and said, "Will I like your decision?" Zac smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will never give you up, sis. We are in this together. Nerissa may think that she can decide for us, but we are a team that can never be broken and we choose for ourselves at our own time. I will not have her rush this. But I have realized that maybe this destiny is not such a bad thing after all, however I still want the connections I have made in the human world. Surely you feel the same after staying in it for a while." Mimmi thought for a second. She realized that Zac was right; she loves the friendships she has made and the boy she fell in love with at her job at the amusement park. She smiled and said, "Yes I agree. Maybe there can be a way that we can do both. Should I say this to Nerissa?" Zac shook his head and said, "Not yet. We both have to think this through some more. I will do my part here while you do your part there. When the time is right, we will tell her what we want to do together. Sound good?" Mimmi smiled and said, "Yes, that sounds like a plan." Zac smiled back and said, "Just hang in there for a little while longer. Like I said, I will be back before you know it. Just smile a little more. From what Cam and Evie told me, you have been moping a little too much." Mimmi laughed and said, "I will." Zac looked at his watch and said, "I have to go now. I will talk to you soon. Can you go get Cam and Evie so I can say goodbye to them?" Mimmi nodded and got the two and she walked out of the room with a smile on her face. Cam looked at Zac and said, "What did you say to her that got her all smiles?" Zac laughed and said, "We talked about some things and I told her to stop being depressed all the time. I won't say what I told her since that I want to stay between the two of us for now but I will let you know soon." Evie smiled and said, "Always trying to be a good brother. So what did you leave out that you did not want to say in front of her?" Zac sighed and said, "I did not want to mention the monster fight I had earlier since she does not know about my Ranger secret. I don't know how she will react to it after what we just talked about. But I know that I have to tell her soon. I just don't want Nerissa to use her to get to me." Cam smiled and said, "Sounds fair. So you had some Rangers duties today?" Zac smiled and said, "Usual stuff. Monsters wanted our Energems, we fought them, and we won. I can't see anything more since I have to go now to get to the concert. I will talk to you guys soon." They logged off the video chat and Zac sighed. "Oh, Mimmi," Zac thought. "I am glad to see you smiling again and that you agree with what I want my future to be. But will you understand my Ranger secret?"
