"I always knew Mercer wasn't exactly PTA material, but Mesogog?" Ethan stats. "That's whack."
It was after school and the Rangers were in the Dino Lab, discussing their new discovery that morning. "I'll tell you what's whack." Conner said, he stopped pacing and faced his friends. "Trent not telling us. Now that's whack!"
"Last year, Sensei told us about him being Lothor's brother." Nicolette revealed. "After Cam found out. And Lothor wasn't shy calling him 'Nephew', even in front of us."
"Look, I'm as mad about this as you guys are, but don't you think we still owe Trent a chance to explain?" Kira suggested.
"Explain what?" Nicolette demanded. "He had the whole year to tell us." She shook her head. "No way, he has to have a pretty damn reason he didn't tell us!"
"Well I hope there is." Tommy agreed. "Cause if not, then I have no choice but to ask Trent to surrender his morpher, and give up being a Power Ranger." With that he, and Zack walked away.
"Tommy? What would Zordon do in this situation?" Zack asked as the two adults walked up the stairs and disappeared.
Kira frowned and looked at the ground.
"Don't tell me you feel bad for Trent." Conner scoffed slightly, seeing the depressed look on her face.
"Yeah." Ethan nodded. "I mean, you want someone you can't trust running around with those powers?"
"Well, I just hate for it to end this way for Trent." Kira stated. "I mean, if I had to hand back my powers, I'd feel pretty bad about it myself."
"I remember that you didn't want to be apart of this in the beginning." Ethan said, looking at Nicolette.
"One time was enough for a whole year." Nicolette said. "But I have to admit that having two vetern Rangers as mentors is pretty cool."
"We've all changed." Kira realized, before turning to look up at Conner. "Look at Conner. You are in no way the same dumb jock that you were when we started."
"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" Conner asked, as Nicolette and Ethan laughed.
Kira shrugged a bit. "Well, you know what I mean."
"And if he doesn't, I do." Ethan agreed.
Conner nodded, remembering when he first became a Ranger too. He grinned to himself. "Ok, point made." He gave in.
"And you Ethan?" Kira asked him.
"Not me." He shook his head. "I always thought of you as my brother and sisters in crime fighting."
Remembering, Ethan grinned. "Yeah, I am pretty cool, aren't I?"
"Don't get carried away." Conner told him. "But, it's defintly not embarrassing to hang out with you anymore."
"OK, now who needs to learn how to give a compliment?" Kira said, looking directly at Conner.
"And need I say that my brothers still want to kill you?" Nicolette asked with a smirk, looking at her boyfriend.
"Ha ha." Conner grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close, before tickling her.
"Hey, no more making out!" Kira quickly insisted. "Do you guys really want to get caught by Dr. O?"
"I still can't get over that he's a legend." Ethan stated. "And that Zack is apart of the original Power Rangers."
"They've both been there for us, even before we were Rangers." Nicolette said, still in Conner's embrace.
"Are you guys forgetting who almost ended him for good?" Conner asked.
"That was the White Ranger's gem." Kira insisted. "And it's different now!"
Conner just rolled his eyes. "Yeah, now he forgets to tell us, Mesogog is his dad." He added. "Glad he's changed."
"Yeah, let's not forget that trip hazzard." Nicolette sided with Conner.
"I made a promise." Trent's voice rang as he, Tommy and Zack entered the Dino Lab.
"What about your promise to us?" Conner asked as he Nicolette, Kira, and Ethan stood up and confronted Trent.
"Look, I never let my feelings get in the way of my Ranger duties." Trent stated, and Nicolette rolled her eyes.
"I heard that before." She hissed.
"It's true, Trent, but you put us in a difficult position." Tommy said, as Trent sighed. "Conner maybe right. I just don't know how we can ever trust you again."
Trent looked around at them all. "Tell me what I can do to make this right." He said, and they all exchanged glances. "I make no excuses for the harm I've caused, but you know, things haven't been easy for me." Trent defended himself. "Anton Mercer's the only family I had, I knew I couldn't break my promise with him, so I decided to fight with you guys until he was freed of the mutant freak forever." He explained. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Mesogog. My father thought he could handle this on his own, and so did I. I know now I was wrong."
"Anton Mercer was my friend." Tommy started. "I understand your loyalty. The question is now ... do they?"
Trent glanced over to his friends, the fate of his Rangers powers in their hands. "Look, being a ranger is the best thing that's ever happened to me." He told them. "I don't wanna lose that, trust me."
"Yeah, I've heard that one before." Conner scoffed, during Trent's explaining, he'd let go of Nicolette.
"A hundred times for me." Nicolette huffed, folding her arms. "At least Sensei told us about Lothor being his brother as soon as Cam found out."
"You've betrayed people before." Trent reminded her, as he looked at her. "How is right now any different?"
"It's a hell of a lot different!" Nicolette snapped with anger.
Trent walked up to her, challenging her. "How?" He demanded.
"It's called guilt!" Nicolette growled with a hiss. "Get that through your head, rich boy!" She snapped, and would've socked him in the nose if it hadn't been for Conner, Ethan, and Kira grabbing her and restraining her, as Trent took a few steps back and bumped into Tommy. "The guilt wouldn've eaten anybody up by now!" Nicolette yelled, still being restrained. "You only feel guilty now is because you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar!" She tried to pull away from her friends. "You have a mountain of trust to regain again, you can garentee that!"
Suddenly the computer beeped, showing a new monster in the city. "Here's your chance to prove it." Tommy told Trent.
"What? You're not seriously gonna trust him." Conner said.
"Look at that thing!" Kira pointed to the screen.
"She's right." Ethan nodded. "Weather or not we work with Trent, we don't have a choice." He hid behind Kira, as he added. "And I choose that Trent come with us." He ducked behind the yellow Ranger when Nicolette glared him.
Trent nodded as he looked at Ethan, Kira, then to Tommy. "Thank you." He sincerely said. "I won't let you guys down."
"Actions speak louder then words." Nicolette growled with anger as her friends felt confident that she wasn't going to attack. She walked up to him and poked him hard in the chest. "So prove it in battle, or you're going to be eating my blaster." She threatened.
Trent swallowed har. "Yes ma'am."
"Make that two blasters." Conner huffed, and the team stood in a line, and raised their wrists. "Ready?"
"Ready!"
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP!'
"WHITE RANGER, DINO POWER!"

Quickly arriving in the city, they encountered a monster that was already in its giant form. As the Rangers avoided being stomped on, they grabbed their lasers before firing in the monster's direction, before it disappeared. "Where'd it go?" Conner wondered.
"Mii me?" The monster growled, after reappearing in his normal size, before shooting lasers at the Rangers.
Trent, and Zack were able to avoid the laers, before they charged forwards at the monster, who shot more lasers and knocked them into a lake. "Trassic time?" Ethan asked.
"You know it!" Conner nodded before Ethan, Kira, Nicolette powered up the Trassic Shield, and Conner transformed into the Trassic Ranger. "Time for a little intergalactic action!" He said before he and monster disappeared into space.
It wasn't long until they returned, and Conner landed on his back before his Trassic Mode wore off. "That was a long way down." He muttered, as he tried to stand up.
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall." The monster said, just as Ethan, Kira, Nicolette, and Zack charged behind him, only to get hit with more lasers.
"Leave them alone!" Conner demanded, before the monster shot a tentacle towards him.
"Conner!" Nicolette used her Ninja Streak, and slid on her knees next to him. She used her blaster and shot multible blasts at it, but it continued to charge. "Uh oh!" She cried when her blaster was blasted out of her hands.
Luckily, Trent jump in front of Conner and Nicolette, and grabbed the tentacle. "Not so fast!"
"Step aside!" The monster ordered. "It's the Red Ranger I want."
"The Rangers are a team. If you're gonna destroy somebody, you better destroy me." Trent defended his friend, before shoving the tentacle back to the monster.
"Trent saved Conner, and Colette!" Ethan cried.
"Alright, I'm through talking!" The monster sneered.
"Good." Trent said, grabbing his Drago Sword. "Cause so am I." He decided, before using his streak attack and slashed the monster repeatedly, until he fell to the ground.
The Rangers regrouped with each other, before connecting their weapons. "Z-Rex Blaster, Super Mode!" They called, aiming the weapon, and fired, destroying the monster for good.

After the battle, the Rangers were now back in the Dino Lab. "Thanks for the help out there, Trent." Zack thanked. "It's always easier when the team works together."
"Thanks." Trent nodded. "Like I said, I'm in this for good ... that is, if you'll let me."
"Well, I vote yes." Kira decided, smiling at Trent.
"Me too." Ethan agreed.
Tommy turned around in his chair and glanced at the red and pink Rangers. "Conner? Nicolette?"
The two looked at each other, before turning around to face Trent. "Just one question." Conner said.
"Are you sure you want to do this? You can not hesitate." Nicolette still had her arms folded.
"And there's a very good chance you'll hae to face Mesogog one day." Conner added.
"If Mesogog wins, my father is lost forever." Trent stated. "Mesogog has to be defeated, no matter what."
