Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers and I never will unfortunately, if I did Justin would have returned in Dino Thunder and got together with Kira instead of Trent or Conner.
Summary: this is a rewrite of Dino Thunder it starts just after the teens go home after finding the Gems.

Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Chapter 21
It had been a few days since Jason had been rescued from Mesogog but Trent and Andrea had become Mesogog's newest allies. Trent and Andrea had stayed away from their friend since that day they knew deep down it hadn't been their fault Mesogog was ready it.
"Hold it there White and Crimson Ranger!" they heard Cassidy's voice.
They looked over to see her and Devin standing there.
"Cass, it's just Trent and Andrea" Devin told her.
"Oh Damn I guess we're looking in the wrong place again."
"Cassidy how are you after your loss?" Trent asked as he and Andrea held hands.
"Getting better thanks my Aunt and Uncle are moving to town in a few days to act as my guardians"
"That's good to hear." said Andrea.
"You really thought we were the White and Crimson Rangers?" Trent asked, trying to work out why they were being asked if they were the evil Rangers.
"I don't think you two are the two evil Rangers," Cassidy answered, "I thought I heard"
"LOOK OUT!" Trent and Andy yelled when they noticed something heading towards Cassidy and Devin at a vast speed. They all looked at each other and then dived to the sides as it zoomed over them and then crushed with an explosion.
"What the heck was that?" Trent asked.
"I have no idea, a meteor or something maybe" Andrea replied.
"Maybe it was a low flying spaceship?" Devin said.
"I dunno what it is but it landed over there, so grab your camera Devin" Cassidy answered.
"Wait," Trent said as Andrea nodded at him, "it could be dangerous."
"Danger's my middle name," Cassidy said as she started to walk to where it came down in.
"Funny I thought it was Agnes" said Devin
"Wait a minute we'll come with you" said Andrea.

"McKnight, on a breakaway," Conner narrated as he dribbled his soccer ball around the lab avoiding any of his team mates, Ethan was on his laptop, Kira was playing her guitar while Kylee and Selena were writing lines to sing to the tune Kira was playing, Hayley had finished the scans she had run on Tommy's fossilized body, Billy was attempting to rebuild Selena's Falcon Zord and Jason and Justin were out side Sparring.
"Yes one more level and I break my all-time record." said Ethan. Conner looked up and saw the target Ethan's computer became and especially the Escape button grinning to himself as he aimed his little red soccer ball and through it. The aim was perfect and it hit the ESCAPE key on the laptop which shut off the game. "CONNER."
Chuckling at what he had done Conner went to retrieve his ball.
"Sorry," Conner apologized fakely even though he wasn't remotely sorry.
"Now I have to start again," Ethan told him as Conner picked up his ball.
"You know, there's this invention called the outdoors," Conner told him, "you might wanna check it out."
"I'll tell you what," Ethan said as he turned to look at Conner, "I'll check that out when I see you in a library."
"You have a much better chance seeing that then seeing Kira in Cassidy's style clothing," Conner told him with a laugh.
"Do you really want to go there?" Kira asked as she looked up from her guitar just as Justin and Jason walked back down into the lab after sparring outside.
"Any luck finding away of de-fossilizing Dr. O yet Hayley?" asked Ethan.
"Not yet," Hayley answered, "I just can't find an energy source that can safely break the molecular bonds of the amber."
Just then the computer beeped and Justin along with Hayley walked over the main computer.
"That's weird," Justin said as he pulled the find up more, "the satellite's picking up a strange reading from the forest."
"Let's go take a look," Conner said as he Ethan and Kira got up and got ready to go out.
"Shall we come as well?" asked Kylee.
"No we need some people hear who can go fight if Mesogog sends a monster while we're out their"
"Ok but be careful" said Kylee
"Hey wait for me" said Justin, "no offence to Ethan but I don't think he is qualified to identify space rocks like I am"
"Why have you been in space?" asked Ethan.
"Yes I have"
"Ok let's go before someone else finds it" said Conner as they left the house and jumped in Storm Blaster and drove off to the landing zone of the object.

"Zeltrax create me a monster to deal with the Ranger's and stop them from reaching that meteor?" said Mesogog.
"Yes lord Mesogog" said Zeltrax as he approached the monster making machine and activated the machine and out came a monster but Mesogog wasn't happy with it because as soon as it saw Mesogog he seamed scared of him.
"Who are you?" the monster asked.
"I am Mesogog and you are pathetic I should destroy you my self but I will let the Rangers do it"
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Try and prevent them from reaching the meteor crater they have found"
"That might be dangerous?"
"So will annoying me now go"
The monster disappeared through an invisiportal.

"We're first on the scene," Cassidy said as she, Devin, Andrea and Trent walked up, "it's still hot" Andrea said.
"Yeah but where is it" said Trent with the steam still billowing out of the crater.
"There it is! Devin" start recording.
"Careful, we don't know what it is" Trent told them.
"Oh, it's harmless it just a space rock" Cassidy said before pushing Devin closer, "Get a close up."
"You sure Cass? It's still smoking." said Devin as he knelt down to look at it a bit closer. "It looks good on camera though." said Devin.
"What is it?" Cassidy asked as Trent and Andrea looked at their Gems and they were glowing.
"It's hard to say, apart from a meteor" Devin answered.
"Trent, Andrea?" they heard Kira's voice making them look over.
"What are you guys doing here?" Trent asked.
"I might ask you the same thing," Conner sneered, "haven't you two around for awhile."
"Yeah," Ethan agreed, "we really need to catch up."
Trent stood up as Andrea moved to stand next to him just as Conner and Ethan moved forward only to have Kira and Justin block them.
"Not now guys," they said together.
"Let's check this meteor out." said Justin as he carefully approached it.
"Um, I'm Rojobot and I'm not supposed to let you get that close to the meteor" a monster told them.
All 8 of them looked over to see the monster and a group of Tyrannodrones.
"Quick, run," Cassidy said.
Cassidy and Devin took off as more Tyrannodrones encircled the group of Rangers while they hid behind a tree, turning to watch what would happen.
"You want me to film this?" he asked as he brought up his camera.
"A Monster attack the only thing that might happen is the Rangers show up but we won't get any decent footage in here Let's get outta here!"
They left the scene unaware that two purple strands of energy shooting out from the meteor and following them until it entered their bodies. The Rangers were left in a circle of Tyrannodrones and Justin glanced across the meteor crater at the still-civilian White and Crimson Rangers. "Who's side you on today, Trent, Andy?" he asked.
"You want our help or not?" Andrea countered giving Justin a grin.
"If it's all the same, I'll watch from over here," Rojobot said before he went and hid while the Tyrannodrones rushed in to attack the Rangers.
The 6 Rangers took on their own group of Tyrannodrones who were no match for the Rangers. As they knocked back a whole wave of them within minute more came, and Justin's communicator beeped, and he answered it.
"Go."
"Guys, Hayley and I have been analyzing the radiation from that rock and it's really freaky. Get away from it!" said Billy.
"It's a little late for that!" Justin replied before kicking a Tyrannodrone in the gut and knocking it to the ground. As purple energy beams erupted from the rock and flowed into the Rangers and into Rojobot.
Andrea and Trent fought their groups of Tyrannodrones not noticing the two purple energy beam's coming at them and entering their bodies until it was too late. It wasn't long, however, till they noticed that their views where blurry. "Uh-oh," Trent breathed before he and Andrea took off.

"It's actually a meteor fragment," Hayley told them as she ran the results of the scans Justin had taken while Billy was typing away on the computer.
"Fascinating," Conner said as he grinned making Hayley's and Billy's face twisted in confusion as they watched him walk off thinking aloud. "It must have broken off during some sort of galactic collision."
"I guess so it's a pity we couldn't see the collision that would be awesome" said Justin.
Hayley, Kim, Billy, Jason, Selena and Kylee looked at them.
"What?" Conner asked noticing them looking at him, Justin, Ethan and Kira.
"We're just afraid that coming in such close proximity to it might have some strange side effects," Hayley confessed worriedly, "do you guys feel okay?"
Ethan ignored her as he stared at his arms as he flexed them and Kira grimaced.
"I for one am going home," Kira said startling everyone with her attitude, "if I don't swab my cuticles in an aloe bath, my nails will never grow back. Dragon you wanna drive me?"
"Sure thing Ptera honey, I can't believe I get to drive a jeep"
"I gotta hit the gym," Ethan added, "gonna work on my pecks."
"I wanna get home to watch that great documentary on the pyramids," Conner put in, "it looks quite fascinating."
The 6 unaffected people looked on in surprise and shock as the teens left trying to figure out these were the same teens that had left less then a half hour ago.
"Did I hear my boyfriend say he wanted to watch a documentary?" asked Kylee.
"Since when is the Red Ranger the brains of the team?" Hayley asked looking at Jason.
"Never," the Red Ranger answered him.

Andrea was sitting in Reefside Park with her Laptop and was searching for anything in the Ranger database that could explain what they had felt while being in the vicinity of the meteor.
"You found anything yet?" Trent asked.
"I'm know where near as smart as, Hayley, Justin or Billy, but I did find something out about the rock," Andre replied.
"What have you found?"
"It's a meteor fragment, I'm still trying to figure out why Billy was concerned about it.
"Keep at it," Trent encouraged her.
"I will I won't give up until I do"
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
The next day Kim, Jason and Selena paced around the Ranger Base watching as Ethan now decked out in sweats, lifted weights. While Hayley and Billy watched from the computers unable to understand why Ethan was acting this way.
"Sup Hayley?" he grinned.
"Ethan, are you sure you feel okay?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm pumped and ready to rock!" he shouted happily
Just then Conner and Kylee came in Conner looked like a completely studious college boy which took Kim and Hayley by surprise. Conner looked like some sort of scholar from England might look. If they wasn't wrong that it looked like he was wearing tweed. His red shirt was buttoned up for once and he was wearing a suit jacket over it as well as black dress pants and shoes. This was just wrong in so many ways. Kylee walked away in embarrassment and decided to spar with Selena, Jason had to head up the stairs he was unable to look at his successor right now with out laughing.
"Good morning, all," he greeted as he walked up to them, "The weather is particularly pleasant today. Excessively low humidity."
"Whatever bro, look at my arms? Am I ripped or what?" Ethan chucked.
"Good morning Kira, Justin" Conner greeted.
"Hello," Kira's voice floated down the stairs and everyone turned to see her and Justin walking down the steps, Kira had a multitude of shopping bags around either wrist and Justin was carrying more. "Sorry I'm late there was a sale and I just couldn't well you understand, and was my transport"
Her hair was in a neat ponytail and no hair in her face with a yellow headband also around the top of her head, she was wearing a spaghetti strap yellow summer dress with high heels. It looked so foreign on Kira making Hayley, Kim, and Kylee to do a triple take since neither of them had ever scene Kira like that even her best friend Kylee had to make sure it was Kira Ford and not someone else pretending to be Kira.
"Hey," Ethan spoke up as he was still lifting weights making the others to look at him, "You guys think I'm ready for the Iron Man competition?"
"Ok, I think there were definitely side effects from that meteor," Hayley realized shaking her head. "We need to destroy that rock and get you guys back to normal." said Billy.
"Huh?" Ethan frowned looking lost not understanding what they were talking about.
"Side effects," Conner's said looking interested, "I find that highly improbable I feel fine."
"Yeah, I feel like I could kick Mesogog's butt myself," Ethan agreed with nodded.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Mesogog had seen a difference in Rojobot ever since he came in contact with the meteor fragment.
"Rojobot I want you to return to Reefside and destroy the Rangers" said Mesogog.
"I will absolutely destroy them my lord" said Rojobot.
"I don't know what happened to you but I like it"
Rojobot jumped through an invisiportal and returned to Reefside.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Suddenly the alarm went off in the Command Cave making Hayley sigh as the image of the Rojobot monster from the day before appeared onscreen as he sent small lasers blasts at the ground.
"Look whose back." said Hayley.
She and Justin walked over to the computer while the others exchanged glances before dropping books, weights, and shopping bags onto the floor and standing in formation.
"Ready?" Conner asked hesitantly while Kira made sure that her headband was on properly.
"Ready!" Ethan, Kira and Justin agreed.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP! HA!" called the three Dino Ranger, as they Morphed.
"GREEN RANGER DINO THUNDER" called Justin but nothing happened.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
The other three Rangers had gone out to fight the monster but Justin still wasn't able to Morph.
"Hayley why won't it work?"
"You appear to have affected more by the meteor then the others lets try your Turbo Morpher" said Hayley.
"Right" said Justin as he pulled out his Turbo Morpher and attached it to his wrist and said.
"SHIFT IN TO TURBO MOUNTAIN BLASTER TURBO POWER" called Justin this time he did Morph into the Blue Turbo Ranger, Justin got in Storm and headed for the fight.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
At the fight Conner, Ethan and Kira were struggling to find away round Rojobot's attacks then Justin arrived and helped them get back into the fight.
"Guy's you needs to fight him back and make him withdraw we need to do more research on the rock to see what it does?" said Hayley once they got back in the fight and into a little bit of control.
"Right we'll do are best" said Justin.
"Don't worry we'll help" said a new voice and their stood Andrea and Trent Morphed and began to fight Rojobot.
"I'm sending Kylee, Selena and Jason just to make absolutely sure" said Hayley.
The three other Rangers arrived and they managed to force Rojobot to retreat because he was so out numbered.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Billy was looking through the data on the rock while Hayley was working on trying to find away to free Tommy from the amber.
"Hayley have a look at this" said Billy as he pointed out something on the scans
"It might work" said Hayley.
"Call them lets get this sorted it should also return them to normal"
"Fantastic" said Hayley as she turned to contact the Rangers
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
"Hey guys," Hayley greeted as the 8 current and former Rangers walked in.
"What is it now?" Ethan snapped, "I was having a super intense work-out!"
"And I was right in the middle of a very compelling biography!" Conner added.
"Is this gonna involve dirt? Kira inquired while grimacing, "cuz if it does, I'm gonna have to say nuh-uh."
"I was in the middle of building a new machine?" said Justin.
"Sorry but we thought you might like to know we think we've found a way to un-fossilize Tommy."
"Yeah?"
"Really?"
"No way."
"Awesome, but how?" asked Justin, even in his changed form he was still smart.
"The meteor fragment," Hayley elaborated, "our theory is that it frees your inner self. That's why you guys are acting so weird. So we want you to destroy it and return a small piece safely back here for us to use on Tommy"
"Of course, if you could, harness its power you could free Dr. Oliver from the inside-out!" Conner said as he smiled before pushing up his glasses "although, I do take offense at being called weird."
"Sorry," Hayley said. "You're not weird it's just that the rock is allowing you to show a side of yourself that you don't usually show."
"Like a recessive personality?" Justin asked.
"Yeah exactly," Hayley nodded, "for example Conner, there's a part of you that's intelligent, studious even. Ethan, there's a part of you that's athletic, even competitive. Kira, theirs a part of you that is like Cassidy a real girly girl. And Justin it seams to have reverted you to your Turbo days that's why your Dino Morpher doesn't work but once we change you back I don't know if your Turbo Morpher will be useful every again"
"I understand Hayley if this is my last battle as Turbo Blue I'm gunna make it memorable"
"So that's why Trent and Andrea helped us?" Kira asked, "There still good on the inside."
"Most likely but for now lets worry about Tommy" said Jason.
"He's right you have to work together as a team. Trust me."
"That sounds acceptable" Conner said.
"Alright, here's what you need to do" Billy said only to be interrupted the alarm.
"Not him again?" Justin said as he saw Rojobot return and start attacking the town.
"Let's deal with this thing once and for all" said Jason as he took the lead position.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME, TYRANNOSAURUS" called Jason and Morphed into the Original red Rangers suit.
"SHIFT IN TO TURBO" called Justin and Kylee.
"MOUNTAIN BLASTER TURBO POWER" called Justin.
"DUNE STAR TURBO POWER" called Kylee.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP! HA!" called the three Dino Thunder Rangers.
"TYRANNO" called Conner.
"TRICERA" called Ethan.
"PTERA" called Kira.
"DRAGON THUNDER POWER UP" called Selena.

The monster ended up being defeated and Mesogog re-energized it with his hydro regenerator
"Hayley can you send me the Dragon Dagger?" asked Jason.
"It's on its way with the rest of the Zords" said Billy.
The Dino Rangers formed the Thundersaurus Megazord Selena was in her Komodo Dragonzord Kylee was in Star Racer, and while this was going on Justin in Storm Blaster headed to the meteor crash sight.
Rojobot was holding his own well against the Rangers Zords until the Dino Stegazord arrived and started to fight it as well. Rojobot tried to make a run for it but was stopped by the Dino Stegazord.
"Going somewhere?" Trent asked
"Who said you could leave, the parties just beginning" Andrea said.
"It's Trent and Andy" Kira said glad they'd came to help!"
The Dino Stegazord blasted its sword forward, and it smashed into the middle of the monster, causing a massive explosion of sparks.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Justin and Storm Blaster reached the meteor and Justin said to Storm.
"On three we blast it with all we've got"
Storm beeped it reply.
"Turbo Hand Blasters" called Justin as his twin blasters appeared in his hands. "Alright 1… 2… 3 FIRE" called Justin, as a blast of laser power came from his blasters and from out of Storm Blaster and destroyed the meteor, Justin felt himself return to normal but stayed in his Turbo suit for now until he was sure he was away from other people who might be trying to find out his identity.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Andrea gave an evil laugh as the Monster fell to the ground struggling to get up. Using the Double Drill attack, the Megazord swiftly stopped that, and in a huge explosion that passed between the two on-looking Zord formations, the monster was blown to pieces.
"We're outta here," Trent stated, turning the Dino Stegazord away and walking off.
"Trent, Andy wait" Kira called from inside the Megazord, but she was ignored.
Conner, Kira, and Ethan quickly left the Zords after the fight then realised they felt different then Ethan and Kira started to laugh at what Conner was wearing. Then they returned to the base to see if the rock could fix Tommy.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
When the Ranger's made it back to base Justin had been their a while helping Billy and Hayley to set things up and they noticed that Conner, Ethan and Kira had all changed into clothes that was more them and they saw the machine ready.
"Will it work?" asked Jason.
"It should free him from the amber that's all I can promise" said Hayley "even with Billy and Justin going through everything with me we still are not 100% sure what will happen at the end"
"Well we have nothing to lose so let's do it" said Kim.
They started the machine up and watched as the energy went into the Amber then it disappeared and left the Black Dino Thunder Ranger standing their.
"Thanks every one power down?" said Tommy but nothing happened.
A/N:3 thanks for taking the time to read this story and I would like people to let me know who they think Elsa and Zeltrax's true identities are.
