Tommy's house
Kim grabbed a bowl from the cabinet and decided to make some popcorn. When she was finished she went and turned on the television and sat down but when she felt the legs but nobody she nearly jumped out of her skin.
"Okay, you really need to wear something visible on you because that is slightly freaky." Kim said to the couch.
"Sorry, but I wanted to talk to you." Tommy said. "Here lie against me." He grabbed a pillow and set it against his chest so she would know where he wanted her to be.
Kim set the bowl on the table and put her back against the pillow and felt Tommy's leg on either side of her. He wrapped his arms around her waist. She sighed.
"Mmm, this is nice. Too bad I can't really see you." Kim said.
"I know but I know Haley, Justin and I can figure out a way to bring me back to normal. I wanted to know how you were dealing with all of this." He asked.
"I'm dealing. I mean sometimes I feel a little useless that I'm not smart enough to help." Kim admitted.
"Kim, you are definitely not dumb. You are smart in your own way and did you forget that I was the King of Forgetfulness; I almost missed our first date because I was late. It took years and years of studying for me to even be able to absorb all the knowledge I've gotten." He told her as he linked their fingers.
Kim smiled because he always could make her feel better. "Since I can't take you out on a real date yet, how about an in home movie date?" He suggested.
"I'd love that." She told him. He reached for the remote and flipped through the channels until they found a movie they both liked and then set the bowl of popcorn in Kim's laugh so they could both reach it.
Best date one could have when you ex-boyfriend becomes invisible.
The Fighting Sprit
"What's up Haley, Kim?" Ethan said as he, Kira, and Conner walked into the command center. "Where's Dr. O?" He asked.
"Yeah, not that we'd be able to see him if he was here." Kira stated.
"Hey, guys." The invisible Tommy grunted as he worked his arm muscles on his exercise equipment.
"I'll never get used to that." Kira said watching the machine go by itself, though it was their invisible teacher doing the work was slightly creepy.
"Hey, Dr. O., no offense but what's the point of building your biceps if nobody's going to see them?" Conner asked him because he really didn't see the point.
The weights crashed back down to its original place and a towel was picked up as Tommy spoke. "Well, that's the reason I called you here. Haley found a way to bring me back to normal."
"That's great." Kira exclaimed.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's do it." Haley stood and walked between them so she was standing in front of Tommy and the teens.
"Hold on, everybody. Tommy, I told you, I think the re-molecularizer may make you visible again but I haven't found a power source strong enough for it yet." Haley explained.
"And Tommy, even if we do find one, it's no telling what the outcome will be." Justin jumped in as he came from upstairs.
"I've been thinking about that." The invisible Tommy said as he grabbed black box with their dino symbol on it and handed it to Haley. "Maybe we should use this."
Haley opened the box and inside was his dino gem. "No way. Forget it." She told him not even considering it.
"We gotta try something. My dino gem is the most powerful source of energy we have." Tommy reminded her.
"Tommy, you could be hurt worse or it might even make you invisibility permanent." Kim told him.
"It's a start and like I said it is very powerful."
"Powerful", being the operative word. I have no idea how your body will react to it. It's way too risky." Haley told him.
"Haley, we don't have a choice." Tommy said.
Haley sighed because she knew he was right.
"You can't be considering this." Kim said looking at Haley. "Justin, say something."
"Kim, ultimately this is Tommy's decision and if Haley has an inkling that this will work and get Tommy back to normal than I'll help." He shrugged feeling like his hands were tied.
She sighed but walked in front of Haley and stood where she though Tommy was standing. "Fine! But if you die, mark my words, Thomas James Oliver, I will revive you and then kill you again myself." Kim threatened him darkly. The teens were slightly afraid if something bad did happen because the look in the pink ranger's eyes was not one that should be crossed lightly.
She then felt arms wrap around her. "Understood, beautiful." He whispered in her ear.

Inside a cave
Elsa had the Tyrannodrones working as if they were digging for gold's or diamonds because Elsa needed something. A drill was drilling into one of the walls. "Keep digging." She shouted at them.
"Faster, you fool!" She demeaned them. Just then the digging machine hit something. Everyone moved to see it. "Outta my way." She pushed the few drones out of her way.
She dug through the rocks and pulled out a white glowing rock. "Aah! Finally I've found it. It's even more beautiful than I imagined."

Back inside the command center
Tommy lay on the metal table they had set up. "Okay, Haley, I'm ready." Haley placed a blanket over the body so that his outline was able to be seen. His head impression was able to be seen on the pillow.
"For the record, I still think this is a bad idea." Haley told him.
Kira walked over. "And for the record, I agree with Haley and Kim." She said in agreement.
Conner was checking the last minute chart Justin handed him. "Don't worry I'll be fine."
Ethan walked up and he and Kira placed the micro cables on each side of his chest. "See you soon, Dr. O. Literally, I hope." He added.
Justin put the canister with Tommy's dino gem in the compartment. "Okay." He said and sighed. He looked over and Haley who was looking at Tommy.
"Good to go." Tommy said.
Justin walked over to the generator and took a deep breath. Haley, Conner, Kira, Kim and Ethan looked over at Justin. He flipped the switch. "Initiating sequence."
They heard Tommy's breathing start to go heavy, and he started grunting and panting as if he was running a race.
"Is everything okay?" Kira asked.
"What's happening?" Kim shouted.
They saw Tommy's outline shaking uncontrollably.
"It's overloading!" Justin yelled.
"The energy attenuator's shut down." Haley explained. "He's receiving full current."
The compartment gave a jolt and Justin shut it down. He pulled out the canister. "His dino's gem destroyed."
Tommy's body became visible. They ran over to the table. "Tommy?" Kim said.
"Tommy? Can you hear me?" Haley asked but his body didn't move or respond to their calls.

On an island with no location, inside a laboratory.
The evil White Ranger and another Terrorsaurus entered the lab.
"As requested I have created a stronger version of my Terrorsaurus. He is at your command, Elsa" He told her.
Elsa smirked.
"This creature failed us before. What makes you think he will succeed this time?" Mesogog asked from his throne.
"This!" Elsa showed the white mineral rock she retrieved earlier. "Its mineral components are the same as the Power Rangers' dino gem. It will render them useless." She informed them as she walked to Terrorsaurus.
"Interesting." Mesogog hissed.
Elsa placed it at the creature's mouth and watched as it traveled to the center of his pointed gem. It started to glow red.
"Now, we'll see who has the power." Elsa started.
Terrorsaurus came to the downtown area of Reefside as he fired and landed on the hood of a parked car. The citizens started to scream and run in different directions. He jumped off the car to the ground. "Oops, I hope you have insurance." He said then laughed evilly.

Reefside Hospital
The five rangers and Haley stood around Tommy's bed.
"What's wrong with him doctor?" Haley asked.
"I have no idea, Haley. Well, his vitals are stable, but his—his brain patterns are wildly erratic." The doctor explained.
"Can you get him out of it?" Kira asked.
"We're trying but he's not responding to anything." The doctor said.
"But, he's going to be okay, right?" Kim asked looking up at the doctor.
The doctor sighed before looking at all of them. "I'm not gonna lie to you. The longer he stays like this, the more at risk he is."
"Thanks, Dr. Walsh." Kira said since no one else could really speak right now.
"Your friends going to get the best care possible." He told them before walking out of the room.
The all sat in silence for a moment before the television news station blared from it. "Breaking news. The city is under attack by a terrifying creature! Citizens are advised to stay in door." The news station showed people running away from a nastier looking version of Terrorsaurus.
"I'll stay with him." Haley said and before Kim could protest Haley spoke again. "It looks like it's going to take all of you to defeat this monster, Kim." Kim nodded, she really didn't want to leave Tommy but Haley will be here so she could do this.
Kim kissed Tommy's hand before standing up.
"We'll be back as soon as we can." Conner said not only to Haley but to reassure Kim as well.

Downtown Reefside
Conner rode his Raptor Cycle and he fired at Terrorsarus. Terrorsarus turned when he saw Conner riding towards him.
"At last! Just who I wanted to see." Terrorsaurus focused his energy from his red gem and then fired it at Conner.
Conner used his Raptor Cycle and jumped off to avoid it. The cycle hit the ground and he pulled out his weapon. "Tyranno Staff." He jumped off his cycle. He swung it at Terrorsaurus head but the monster ducked, he tried to thrust it at him but Terrorsaurus side stepped Conner and grabbed the staff and brought Conner towards him.
"I thought the last Terrorsaurus was ugly but you even got him beat." Conner said.
Terrorsaurus growled at Conner pushing him back. Terrorsaurs created a sword from his hand and sliced it towards Conner, sending him back hitting the front of a deserted car.
"Lasers!" Kira called out.
"Fire!" Ethan yelled as the shot their laser from their cycles on opposite sides of Terrorsaurus but it didn't cause too much of an impact.
Terrorsaurus fired at Conner hitting him in his chest sending him flipping backwards before he landed in the rubble.
Kira and Ethan jumped towards Terrorsaurus but he generated his energy from the red gem sticking out of his stomach and fired at them hitting them both right in the chest causing them to fall to the ground.
"Fire!" Trent said firing at Terrorsaurus.
"Trent!" Conner looked up.
"Fire!" Kim called right after as she and Justin used Tommy's AV Rider both her and Trent's laser hit Terrorsaurus in his chest above his red gem.
"Great! More rangers!" He said as he fired at the two riders.
Kim and Trent both swerved but it didn't seem to help much because their ATV Riders completely got the burnt from the monster's laser causing the Rider's to crash to the ground and all three rangers fall over.
Trent rolled when the Rider crashed to the ground. He demorphed as soon as he hit the ground. Justin flew off the rider and landed against a deserted car. He became demorphed as well.
Kim rolled off the Rider but was able to maintain staying morphed. She groaned before standing up.
"Trent!" Kira called out to him when she saw him not morphed.
"Justin," Ethan yelled seeing his eyes closed.

Mr. Cromier's office
"Ah, Cornell, good come. Come, come, come." He said hurriedly ushering her to come into the office faster. "I've got a big assignment for you."
"You do? Me? Are you sure?" Cassidy asked surprised.
"Don't look so surprised." Mr. Cormier said.
"Yeah, you don't want him to change his mind." Cassidy hit Devon in his chest when he said that.
"Look, my field reporter's out and there's an attack downtown. I need ranger footage for my lead story. You think you and Donald can handle it?" He asked her.
"You mean 'Devon'." She reminded him.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. Just get down there."
Cassidy smiled. "Right, I'll get right over there. Thank you so much, Mt. Cormier. You won't regret it." She grabbed onto Devon's arm to pull him out the door.
"I think it's a little late for that." He said to himself.

Back to the fight
Ethan was sent flying through the air, he fell to the ground.
Terrorsaurus turned and saw Conner and Kira running at him. He harnessed the red gems power and fired at them, the blast sent them flying to the ground next to each other.
"This is too easy." Terrorsaurus commented. It was really powerful, which caused them to demorph.
"Hovercraft Cycle." Ethan said as he rode towards Terrorsaurus.
"Bring It!" Terrorsaurus turned waiting for Ethan make his move.
"Thrusters," he added the gas when it was able to fly. "Back off, freak." He fired his laser at Terrorsaurus and turned and went higher in the air so he could do another attack.
Terrorsaurus jumped up and landed right behind Ethan on the Hovercraft Cycle. "Hey!" Ethan yelled and turned to hit Terrorsaurus but he grabbed Ethan's armed and put his red gem near the center of Ethan's suit and stole his energy from him. Then he threw Ethan off the Hovercraft.
Ethan landed on a pile of ground rubble. He demorphed instantly.
Terrorsaurus landed on his feet and laughed evilly. He felt a small prickle hit his back. He turned just as Kim had fired another arrow but it he caught it.
"You know you are really starting to annoy me." Kim said to him.
Terrorsaurus added some of the energy from his red gem to the tip of the bow and threw it back at Kim. Kim let another arrow go to block the attack but the arrow he sent at her split through the arrow she sent at him and continued its course until it hit her directly in her chest, sending her into a vacant minivan. She groaned as she became demorphed.
"Ethan!" Conner and Kira helped Ethan stand as Trent walked over to them.
"Kim!" Justin reached her and helped her up as they walked over to stand with the others.
"This guys has worked my last nerve." Conner panted out. "Ready!"
"Ready!" They all said.
"Dino Thunder, Power Up! Ha!"
"White Ranger, Dino Power!"
"Pink Ranger Power!"
"Shift Into Green Ranger Power!"
"Huh?" They all said in confusion as they looked at their morphers when they weren't able to morph.
"Hey, what's going on?" Conner asked looking at the rest of them.
"That thing fried our morphing energy." Ethan said in realization.
"Not so tough, are you?" Terrorsaurus asked before he flew off.
They started to run after him but remembered they couldn't morph.
"He's gone!" Conner yelled and he was ready to throw something in frustration.
"Hey, guys." Cassidy and Devon ran up to them. She looked at them and was shocked to them all covered in soot and dirt and their clothes messed up. "Oh, my goodness, what happened to you guys?"
Kira replied first thinking on her feet. "Uh, things are a little fuzzy but I'd say a giant mutant attack."
"Didn't the Power Rangers come help you out?" She asked.
"No…I guess they couldn't make it." Trent added.
"Yeah, no, Power Rangers anywhere near here." Conner said and Ethan shook his head.
"Maybe they got busy in another part of the city." Justin suggested.
"That's weird. They usually show up when anyone needs them. Plus, this is the only attack that's happened today in the city." Devon said.
"Well, maybe they're at the Laundromat washing those shiny suits." Kira added.
"Yeah…" Devon didn't look convinced by the thought but also didn't question it.
X~X
Mr. Cormier's office
"Let me get this straight—you're telling me innocent civilians were under attack, and the Rangers were a no show?" Mr. Cormier asked to clarify what she had just told him.
"Exactly. Are you mad I didn't get a big story?" Cassidy asked hesitantly.
"Are you kidding me? This is huge!" Mr. Cormier said ecstatically. "Power Rangers Abandon Reefside."
"Well, sir, I don't know if they actually abando—" Devon started but Mr. Cormier cut him off.
"Quiet, Darwin. This is the biggest story we've had all year. Listen up, Cornell. I want you to run with this. Capisce? You're our lead story for the 6 o'clock news." He said walking towards the door. "And try not to screw it up." He added as an afterthought as he walked out of his office.
"The leady story—yay, me!" Cassidy said giddy at the prospect.
"Yeah, Cas, we don't even have all the fact. I mean, I'm sure the Power Rangers had a good reason for not being there." Devon tried to reason with her.
"Hello. Lead story? That's the only thing I care about right now." She told him.
"Yeah, well, it just feels wrong, so if you do this story…I'm afraid you do it without me." Devon walked out of the office leaving Cassidy to think about what he said.

Reefside Hospital
Haley relinquished her spot next to Tommy's bed when Kim arrived back with the others. The doctor came in shortly after they arrived and checked his charts.
"Any news, doctor?" Haley asked Dr. Walsh. "Is there anything you can tell us?"
"I'm sorry, Haley. No change." Dr. Walsh informed them before leaving to check on his other patients.
Kim sighed.
"I wish there was something we could do." Kira said. "I feel completely helpless."
"Join the club." Kim replied.
"Dr. Oliver's pretty tough. I mean he gave me a C- on my term paper." Conner said trying to brighten everyone's spirit.
"And he was being generous." Kira joked. Conner grinned at her and she smiled back at him.
The television started a news report. "Breaking news. The creature is back. Where are the Power Rangers?!"
"I had a feeling he'd be back." Ethan muttered.
"They always are." Justin commented.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Trent stated.
"We have to do something." Conner insisted.
They continued to watch the news as the creature attacked the town. The man on the tv said, "Again I ask, where are the Power Rangers?"
"That's it. You guys can stay here and watch this, but I can't." Conner said walking around the group towards the door.
"Hold up." Ethan said.
"We're going with you." Kira told him as the others followed.
"Hey, where are you going? You don't stand a chance without your powers." Haley reminded them.
"That wouldn't stop Dr. O and it's not going to stop us either." Ethan replied as he continued walking out.
"Spoken like true Rangers." Kim said with pride. "Watch after him will you?" Kim asked but she was already started walking to the door.
Justin kissed Haley's forehead before he headed out behind Kim.

The quarry
Terrorsaurus appeared in red lightening as the six rangers ran up to him before coming to a stop.
"All right, freak, we're going to stop you right here and now!" Conner said firmly.
"Tough talk for a bunch of powerless rangers." Terrorsaurus countered.
"That's what you think." Justin replied.
They charged at Terrorsaurus. Terrorsaurus started firing at them using the energy from his red gem. They were able to avoid it the first two times but they weren't able to avoid it the third time. They all went to the ground hard. The blast caused Ethan to do a back flip to the ground landing on his stomach, Trent, Conner and Justin was sent back on their backs. Kim and Kira were flipped sideways from the blast.
Ethan grabbed his shoulder, Trent tried to catch his breath, Kira groaned as she looked up at Terrorsaurus, Kim rolled to her side before sitting up, and Justin panted as he grabbed his chest.
"You are through!" Terrorsaurus said.
They all got up and ran at him.
Conner tried to do a jump kick at him but Terrorsaurs moved out the way and jumped up to avoid Trent's attempt to clip him. He threw his arm out as Ethan came towards him so he did a back flip to avoid being in Terrorsaurus clutches. Kim tried to kick his right side but was blocked and Kira tried to kick the other side but he blocked that as well. He brought his hands out and Conner and Trent grabbed his arms to hold him and Justin tried to punch him but Terrorsaurus turned knocking Trent into Justin and Kim, Kira and Ethan jumped out of the way and Terrorsaurus threw Conner and Trent back off his arms sending them to gravel. He turned back around and looked at all of them.
"This is pathetic!"
X~X
Tommy's Mind
While the rangers were out fighting the new Terrorsaurus, Tommy had his own problems he had to deal with.
Tommy was surrounded by sand. Like somewhere in the Middle East but he was totally confused as to how he got there. And what was even weirder was there was a puddle of water there in the midst of this sand.
"Hello? Hello?" He called as his voice echoed in the space. "Anybody? What is this place?" He asked the last question to himself as he looked around.
The only thing besides the sand was this square concrete arch at the top of the sand hill.
"Hello, Tommy."
He stopped frozen by the sound before turning around in shock at who was standing in the middle of the arch.
"Remember me? Zeo Ranger 5." Zeo Ranger 5 started to walk down the sand towards Tommy. "Don't tell me you've forgotten already."
"But that's impossible." Tommy said in denial of what was right in front of him.
"Oh, it's possible, and I'm still as tough as ever. The question is, are you?"
"What is this? I'm not gonna fight you." Tommy shook his head.
"Then I guess you'll be destroyed." Zeo Ranger 5 replied and got into a fighting stance.
Tommy pulled his bracelet up to morph but it was just a silver bracelet. "The gem? It's gone!" Tommy looked back up and ducked under Zeo Ranger 5's kick. Zeo Ranger then tried to kick him in the chest but Tommy leaned back to avoid it. He then blocked with his palm the punch Zeo Ranger tried punch him, and his momentum was forward Zeo Ranger 5 pushed his knee up hard but Tommy blocked with his hands but the power used behind using his knee sent him back a few steps away.
Tommy ran at him and tried to punch him but Zeo Ranger 5, grabbed him by his shoulder and rolled them sending Tommy over his shoulder.
Tommy was able to control himself as he rolled into a crouch as water dripped from his face. Zeo Ranger 5 stood up and resumed a fighting stance.
Tommy got up and did a jump kick but Zeo Ranger 5 ducked, so Tommy tried to clip his feet from under him but Zeo Ranger jumped over it. Zeo Ranger turned and then tried to roundhouse punch Tommy but he ducked under his arm and flipped over and then had to do a side cartwheel jump as Zeo Ranger tried to clip his feet underneath him.
Zeo Ranger 5 tried to do another roundhouse punch but Tommy ducked, but the red ranger left his back exposed so Tommy tried to punch him but was blocked. When Zeo Ranger turned as if to swing back Tommy's blocked with his arm but Zeo Ranger 5 grabbed his wrist and flipped him over but Tommy's brought his past ranger self down with him as they rolled around in the water, trying to get the advantage over the other.
They both stood up but Zeo Ranger used Tommy's weight against him and twisted him off, so that he did an air rolling spin before he hit the water hard. Tommy groaned.
"Washed up already, Tommy?" Zeo Ranger 5 asked in a taunting voice.
Tommy stood up getting more pissed by the second as the water dripped off his face. He stood in fighting stance.
Zeo Ranger 5 moved first with trying to a do a jump kick at Tommy's face but he took a step back to avoid it, but that didn't stop his past self from attacking. Zeo Ranger 5 turned as soon as his feet hit the ground and swung his right leg around to kick Tommy but this Tommy hooked his arm over Zeo Ranger's right leg and even though the ranger struggled Tommy's threw him with as much force as possible sending about almost 20 feet away from him. Zeo Ranger 5 stood and Tommy's body was now virtually crying by the exertion placed on it but it was not giving up.
"I see you got a lot of fight left in you but is it enough?" Zeo Ranger 5 asked him before he completely disappeared.
"Wait?" Tommy called after the ranger. "What are you talking about?"
The next thing he knows his in the middle of a jungle forest with thousands of trees around to see, some even have vines on them.
"Tommy?" He heard but it started off as a whisper before the volume picked up.
"Something tells me we're not in Reefside anymore." He said to himself.
"Or Angel Grove." A voice replied and started laughing evilly.
He turned in time to see the White Ranger flying down before it landed about ten feet away from him.
"Huh?" Tommy said in confusion.
"Looks like you finally cut that hair, huh, Tommy?" The White Ranger said.
"White Ranger. But your powers were destroyed." Tommy said.
"You can't keep a good Ranger down." As he started to get into a fighting stance.
Tommy groaned. "Not again."
"For old time's sake." The White Ranger said before running towards Tommy.
The fight was hard but Tommy in the end got the upper hand showing that even though the White Ranger knew some of his old moves, that he had picked up new ones.
The White Ranger stood up from ground. "Impressive! Now let's see if you can face your toughest challenge?" He said right before he disappeared.
"What like that wasn't tough?" He asked the open air.
He ended up in a place that had high weeds, trees and fallen temples.
"Okay, this is weird. Even by Ranger standards." He said to himself as he looked around.
The old Dragon Dagger appeared in the tree next to him. He turned in surprise when he saw it. He pulled it out and turned. "I thought I might run into you."
"It's been a while Tommy. I see you've switched to basic black." The Green Ranger said as he walked toward Tommy.
"It seems to work for me. Let me guess you want to fight?"
"You guessed right." The Green Ranger replied before charging.
Tommy tried to use the Dragon Dagger but the Green Ranger kicked his wrist away and then when he tried to counter with a kick, it was also blocked by the Green Ranger's leg.
Tommy tried to thrust the dagger at the Green Rangers helmet but the Green Ranger thrusted his hand out knocking the dagger out of Tommy's catching him by surprise and then he dropped down and did a low 180 kick tripping Tommy's feet from underneath. Tommy flew back and landed onto the grass.
The Green Ranger caught the dagger and played the familiar tune that sent a moving laser towards him and then this time when he hit the ground, he had a hard time breathing, he had to grab his side. He groaned. He knew fighting his past selves weren't going to be easy, especially the Green Ranger. But damn!
He stood up and the Green Ranger grabbed onto his shoulder and they struggled and he pressed Tommy hard into the tree. Tommy retaliated by trying to lift him off him, but it when he lifted him the Green Ranger's back hit the tree above Tommy before being back on the ground. He then threw Tommy off of him.
The Green Ranger grabbed one of the fallen temples and set it up before he kicked it to hit Tommy. Tommy ducked and pushed himself forward to avoid the temples, which ended with him landing right in front of the Green Ranger.
"You know better than anybody how powerful I am. Why don't you just give up the fight?" The Green Ranger loomed over Tommy.
"That's the one thing I'll never do." He said in defiance.
"Then I guess this is over." He said as if he were going to use the dagger and Tommy prepared himself for the attack but the Green Ranger set the dagger down and reached his hand down. "You passed the test."
Tommy placed his hand into the gloved one of the Green Ranger as he helped him stand.
"Test? What are you talking about?" Tommy asked beyond confused.
"You haven't been fighting us…you've been fighting for your life." The Red Ranger explained as he walked towards them.
"And you've proven that your will to live is stronger than any ranger powers." The White Ranger informed him as he walked towards them on the other side.
Once they stood next to each other, they each raised a closed fist before opening it, to show three broken pieces of Tommy's gem.
"This is yours." The Green Ranger told him.
Tommy picked up each piece. "Good luck, Black Ranger."
X~X
Inside the hospital
Haley stood over Tommy's bed watching and waiting for Tommy to wake up or for the others to come back. She understood as rangers that they couldn't just sit by and watch a place they loved being destroyed, even if they didn't have any powers anymore. But if they were going to defeat this new Terrorsarus, they were going to need Tommy.
Tommy's eyes fluttered opened his during her internal thought process.
"Tommy. You're okay!" She exclaimed happily and let out a sigh in relief.
"Yeah…never felt better." His throat was a little hoarse but he smiled.
Tommy opened his hand and it revealed his fully restored black gem in one piece.
"Your gem? Where'd that come from?" Haley asked in confusion.
"It's a long story but where are the others?" He asked turning his head to the other side of his bed seeing it empty.
"There fighting an improved version of Terrorsaurus that's completely wiped out their ability to morph." Haley explained.
"So, there fighting him without any powers?" He asked to clarify.
"Yes, but in Ethan's words, "it wouldn't stop you so it's not going to stop them" She told him.
"I'm going to help them." Tommy stated.
Haley didn't even try to change his decision. "I'll try to keep the doctors and nurses away but as soon as you're done you have to come back and be discharged."

News Station Room
"Tonight's top story—it seems that the Power Rangers, heroes and defenders of the city have abandoned Reefside." Cassidy started reading the teleprompter.
"That's my girl." Mr. Cormier said as he watched her report from the TV in his office.
Cassidy looked over and saw Devon watching her. She took a deep breath before looking back at the camera. "But this reporter is here to say that the Rangers would never do that. The people of Reefside should be eternally grateful to them, and I, for one, have complete faith that they will return."
Mr. Cormier was ready to tear his hair out, if he had hair anyway, in frustration that she would go off like that.
Devon grinned brightly at Cassidy in admiration.
She gave him a soft smile to him and nodded.
X~X
Back at the quarry
Terrorsaurus sent another blast at the rangers sending them falling to the ground. They all groaned and panted. Trent was the first able to at least rise up from the gravel and rocks on the ground as he gripped his chest.
"It's over." He told them.
Terrorsaurus was so focused on the fallen rangers he wasn't prepared when a flying kick hit him in the chest sending him flying back.
Tommy landed on his feet looking every bit as dangerous and ready for a fight. He looked at the rangers.
"Dr. O!" Conner shouted before they all stood.
"You're alive!" Kira exclaimed.
Tommy nodded as his gaze moved and landed on Kim. He gave her a smile.
"Not for long." Terrorsaurus commented.
Tommy turned back to Terrorsaurus. He flicked his wrist and his morpher appeared.
"Dino Thunder, Power Up! Ha!"
"Brachio Power!" Tommy said after he was fully morphed.
"Big deal!" Terrorsaurus said unimpressed before he generated the energy his red gem and fired at Tommy.
Tommy flew forward and then did a front flip before doing flying kicks sending the Terrorsaurus over the cliff's edge. Terrorsaurus landed face down into the ground.
Tommy looked over the cliff's edge at the fallen ranger before he knew he had to up the ante if he was going to be able to defeat the monster and restore the rangers powers.
"Super Dino Mode!" he called out for the first time as he felt the new power flow through him.
"Whoa! When did he get super dino powers?" He asked nobody in particular.
"I don't know. But he picked a good time to bust them out." Ethan replied.
Terrorsaurus got up and fired up at Tommy. Tommy jumped up avoiding the laser and landed feet away from Terrorsaurus.
He charged at Terrorsaurus and then he try to kick him but Terrorsaurus blocked the attempt, so Tommy tried to clip his feet from under him but the creature jumped over his foot. He tried to kick, but when that failed he tried to elbow him but Terrorsaurus tried to swing his right arm at Tommy who ducked and then when he repeated the process with the left arm, he ducked underneath the arm again.
Tommy grabbed his shoulders and twisted them around and pushed the creature back and immediately brought his hands down as if they were claws, across Terrorosaurus body. He then immediately brought them down his other side and one more up the center of his body.
Tommy then jumped forward grabbed Terrorsaurus shoulders again and this time when he turned them around he threw Terrorsaurus hard into the other side of the rock cliff.
"Whoa!" They all said in unison as they watched Tommy fight Terrorsaurus.
"Brachio Staff." Tommy pulled out his staff. Terrorsaurus stood on shaky legs still not recovered from the impact against the rocks. "Energy Orb, now!" He created the orb and then sent it straight into Terrorsaurus.
Terrorsaurus wasn't able to handle that final blow and fell to the ground before he exploded.
The white gem that Elsa implanted into him fell out and cracked into many pieces that had contained and the morphing energy that belonged to the rangers came out.
"Check it out!" Conner said about the destroyed white gem on the ground.
"Hey!" They all said in a mixed unison as there morphing energy went back into their gems.
"Sweet! We got our powers back." Ethan grinned.
"Dr. O!" Kira yelled as they ran towards the still morphed science teacher.
"Okay, what was that about?" Conner asked.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
After the giant megazord fight, Tommy instructed the teens to come back to the command center so he could explain to him what happened but he had to go back to the hospital to be discharged.

The command center/lair
Kim, Tommy, Haley and Justin each took the chair in front of the computers as the four teens stood in front of them all enthralled by Tommy's story.
"Okay, let me get this straight. Three of your old ranger powers came to you in a dream?" Ethan started.
"And you had to fight them to get your life back?" Conner added over Ethan.
"This is awesome. It's like all the Power Rangers—" Ethan started but then all four teens started talking at once in excitement.
"Guys," His voice stopped them. "You know…I just want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart, for hanging in there with me through all this." He said before he looked to Justin and Kim and then back to the teens. "It was tough. But you guys came through. It means a lot to me."
"He's right. You guys should be really proud of yourselves." Haley told them.
"You guys are true rangers. Tommy's right when he said that you don't choose them gems, they choose you." Justin said.
"And they knew they would be in the right hands. After everything we've seen," Kim said and looked at Justin. "Zordon would be proud."
Conner sniffs but the others hear it. Ethan turned to him. "Are you crying?"
"No." Conner tries to cover up. Tommy laughs out loud at that. "We're just really just really glad your back, Dr. O." Conner spoke and the others nodded and decided to ignore the Red Rangers emotionally slip up.
"Glad to be back. And since I am now no longer stuck in morphed form, or invisible…"He turned in his seat and took Kim's hand in his before he stood them up. "Are you ready for that date, Beautiful?"
Kim wrapped her arms around his neck. "I've been ready for eight years, Handsome!" She told him.
