Chapter 24: Thunderstruck part 2

Chelbell2016:

Ok so this one and the second SPD and dino thunder team up and then it's mystic force! Please review.

*Back to action*

Courtney's POV:

We arrive home and I can feel the traces of evil.

"Guys," I say and they all glance at me. "There's something wrong!"

We slowly walk down the stairs and I am shocked to see that the lab is completely destroyed and Elsa is missing.

"What happened?" Kira asks as we all get down the stairs.

I look around to see if there are any clues to what has happened.

"It's trashed!" Ethan said shocked and we all felt the same way.

"Elsa!" Tommy said.

I glanced over at my dad and we shared a heartfelt moment. This is our home. The lab had become apart of it and now it is wrecked.

"Whats this?" Conner said pointing to a blinking red light that was coming from a little black box.

"It's like a black box," Hayley says taking the box off of him. "I put a security camera in it!"

She races over to the computer and plugged the black box into it.

"Let's take a look!" She continued as the screen went fuzzy and then became a video.

The video showed Elsa being dragged off by Zeltrax.

"Zeltrax!" Ethan said angrily.

"This is all my fault," Mercer said and Trent shook his head in disagreement. "I should've stopped him."

"Don't blame yourself for what you did when you was him!" Trent tells his father.

"Trent is right Anton," dad says patting his shoulder and shaking his head. "This is about me and Smitty it had nothing to do with you."

"But if there were no Mesagog," Anton says but I stop him.

"Look we can't go back and change what's happened," I say to him. "Mesagog is gone, we should be thankful for that."

"So what now?" Conner asks. "I guess we don't hang up our morphers just yet."

"No," dad agrees and I sigh.

We are all cleaning up and I go to take a bath. I lay in the warm water wondering about what I am going to do once I leave here. I don't want to upset my dad anymore but I want to find out where I come from.

Before I can think anymore of it there is a knock on the door and it is Leanne.

"Courtney," she said. "We've found Zeltrax and it isn't good!"

I sigh again.

"OK! I'm getting out," I tell her.

I get out and meet the others downstairs.

We morph and leave.

*Back to action*

We arrive to where Ethan is and we see a giant zord.

"Check out his zord whoa!" Ethan said to all of us.

"Power rangers surrender!" Zeltrax's voice said from inside. "Or my precious cargo will be destroyed."

"I bet he's got Elsa in there!" Conner said.

"Correct!" Zeltrax confirmed and I growled in anger. "I wanted her to see your demise."

Zeltrax called for the Triptoids and I pull out my Ankylo bow to help fight them and the others pull out their own weapons.

We run forward and I fire an arrow at one and kick another. I duck under a punch and fire at one that was trying to sneak up on me. All of a sudden I am forced to throw a dome like shield around us rangers as lightning came down from Zeltrax's new zord at all of us. The force of the hit still sent us flying through the air.

"This has gone far enough!" My dad says getting back to his feet. "Trent can you handle the Triptoids?"

"Yes!" came from all three.

All three went after the Triptoids.

"You guys call the zords I'm gonna get Elsa!" dad says but I stop him.

"I'll go with you!" I say to him and he nods but I turn to Ethan.

"Take the mezodon!" I tell him and pass him my shield.

For now all three take to the thundersaurus megazord and when we can me and dad jump through one of the tubes on the zord to get inside.

"We're in!" We tell our team.

"We got your back!" Conner tells us.

We arrive in a very dark area and decide to call out.

"ELSA!" We both yell.

"Tommy! Courtney!" We hear her voice yell. "I'm in here!"

"Hang on!" Dad says and we turn to follow the path of her voice.

We go further along and she shouts our names again.

"Hang on!" Tommy tells her but then Triptoids arrive.

"GO!" I tell him. "I'll meet you there!"

He nods and I pull out my Thundermax sabre and begin to strike at the Triptoids. I see my dad turn back worried.

"GO DAD!" I yell and he leaves properly this time.

I continued to get striked and I hit the ground as one particular strike hits me across the chest. I arrive where dad is still fighting back Triptoids to see him also fighting them. Me and him begin to fight them together. I send a fireball at one and flame another into a wall. dad uses his Brachio staff to fight his own lot of Triptoids.

"ELSA!" I hear dad shout and I see Elsa not too far away tied up.

"TOMMY! COURTNEY!" She yells looking relieved to see the two of us.

"We'll be right there!" I tell her and she nods her head slightly.

I pull one Triptoid away from my dad and send it flying with a slash of my Thundermax sabre. Dad then goes running forward to help Elsa but I hear Zeltrax speak.

"No he won't!" Zeltrax says and before I can stop him Zeltrax aims a blast at dad.

Kira appears and sends the blast away from my dad and I sigh in relief.

Zeltrax runs forward as I finish off the Triptoids and all three of us prepare to fight him.

Zeltrax blocks Tommy and then strikes him across the chest and aims another strike at Kira which I block. Kira then gets striked and flips over and lands on her back hard. Dad then gets sent to the ground beside her and it's just me and Zeltrax matching each other blow for blow. He sends me flying with a boot to the chest and my dad catches me before I hit the ground and stands me back on my feet. Kira and him share a glance with me and then we turn back to Zeltrax as he raises his arms.

"Maximum power!" He yells.

He transforms into the look that he received from a fountain of youth beneath a tree. We drop to our fighting stances but Zeltrax wouldn't have any of it.

"Me and you Tommy!" He says.

I glance at my dad to see what he wanted me and Kira to do.

"Kira get Elsa!" He tells her. "Courtney try and stop this thing!"

I nod and run over to the control unit while Kira grabs Elsa.

"Where's Cam when you need him?" I say looking at all the strange computer components. "Or even Ethan or Hayley!"

I watch as Kira grabs Elsa and then looks to me. I nod and wave my hand sending her back to the ground in a burst of flames.

I then turn to were Zeltrax had just sent my dad to the ground.

"Hey freak!" I yell and send a few fireballs at Zeltrax.

Dad then runs towards me.

"Guys!" I say into my morpher. "Elsa and Kira are out and me and dad are on our way!"

"Go Courtney!" Ethan and Leanne say.

Dad appears at my side.

"Let's go!" He says.

I nod and I am about to flame us out when Zeltrax stands up again.

"You're not going anywhere!" He growls at us.

He comes running at us weapon raised. All of a sudden the Tyranno drill comes through the front of the zord and knocks Zeltrax back separating him from us.

"What?" I ask wondering how they did that.

"They guys!" Dad said also surprised.

Dad motions for me to go on but I ignore him and call Conner through the morpher.

"Conner me and dad are a little delayed we'll be out soon!" I tell him.

"OK but hurry!" He tells me urgently.

I turn back and watch as my dad continues to fight Zeltrax. Dad slides across the ground and strikes Zeltrax straight across the stomach.

Zeltrax goes flying and groans as he lands.

"Gotta get out of here!" He says and then he spots me. "Come on!"

I run over and flame us both out and down to the ground.

Kira, Elsa and Trent approach us.

"All right!" Dad says.

"You two ok?" Trent asks and I nod.

Zeltrax then appears out of the whole that Conner created.

"You didn't think that I would let you go that easily did you?" Zeltrax asked as me and dad raised our weapons in defence.

"Elsa come with us!" Trent said and him and Kira went to protect her so it was me, dad and Zeltrax.

"You're going down Tommy!" Zeltrax growls.

Me and dad fall into fighting stances and then he turns to me.

"You with me Courtney?!" He asks me.

"Always! No matter what happens!" I say hoping that he hears the double meaning behind my words.

Dad does a flip in the air and strikes Zeltrax with his Brachio staff. I then shoot him with my fire and an arrow from my Ankylo bow and he turns as Electricity surrounds his body.

He falls to the ground and blows up. Finally gone forever.

We run over to the other two and Elsa and look up to see the Thundersaurus and the mezodon megazords fighting Zeltrax's zord again.

"Conner you're gonna need all the zords!" Dad tells Conner who is in the thundersaurus with Leanne. Ethan is in the Mezodon.

"Right!" He says and calls all the zords including the Brachio. I call the Spino-zord for him. "DINO ZORDS! FUL POWER!"

All of our dinozords power up and send a very powerful and bright light at the evil zord which makes it spark after it has passed through.

It falls to the ground and blows up.

"WE DID IT!" Leanne says.

"Yeah!" Ethan and Conner yell.

Unfourtanetly they had spoken too soon as the zord reversed back onto it's feet.

It then started to suck everything in around it creating a storm of debris.

"You've gotta sacrifice the zords!" dad says and my eyes widen. The Triassic shield!

"NO!" Leanne shouted.

"We can't!" Conner said.

"No doctor Oliver!" Ethan disagreed.

"Guys you have to!" I told my friends. "It's the only way!"

I step away from my friends and wait for the right moment as we all struggled to stay on our feet.

"All right!" Conner says.

"Engage auto-destruct!" Conner calls to Ethan.

"I'm trying!" Ethan says and I flame out and behind Ethan.

He gasps but nods as I step forward and help him. I pull my shield out of the holder as I feel it's mine not a dino ranger tool.

"Good bye old friends!" Conner says.

I grab Ethan's arm and flame us to the thundersaurus megazord and grab the other two and flame us away just as the zords blow up. I push everyone down and create a shield as zord parts come flying all around us.

After everything is gone I see that the shield is still in my hands and that everyone is ok. I help everyone up and hug Leanne.

"Courtney!" Ethan said as I hugged both him and Conner as well. "We owe you our lives!"

I smile but shake it off.

*Back to action*

We go looking for our friends as we know they will be worried. We have powered down and I have the shield of triumph at my side. The Triassic zord and the Triassic dino ranger form maybe gone someday but the Triassic warrior is mine and is not a dino form. I will carry it just incase.

We all stumble around until we finally find our friends and Elsa.

"Ethan? Leanne?" We hear Kira's voice. "Conner! Courtney!"

They all run over to meet us and we sigh in relief to see that they are ok.

"That was impressive!" Kira tells us all.

"But the zords..." Ethan says looking shocked and upset. "They're destroyed!"

"It was the only way!" Dad soothes him. "You guys did what you had to do!"

"It's true!" Trent agreed looking around at all of us. "Nothing else would have stopped him."

"So that's it then!" Conner said shaking his head. "It can't just be over!"

I was about to reply when I felt a surge of evil and I gasped.

"Of course it's not over!" We all turn slowly to see a very weak but very much alive Mesagog standing not too far from us.

"Why do they always come back for more?" Me and dad asked at the same time.

"You destroyed my plans of creating a perfect word!" Mesagog growls looking around at all of us. "However I was able to absorb enough dino gem energy and enough power from your orange ranger to complete my transfiguration Witness the face of... your final battle!"

He begins to glow a fiery orange. And he transforms his kneck grows, spikes grow all over his back, he grows and feet become talons.

I gasp as the others all look shocked.

"You better step aside Elsa!" Dad says. "You guys ready for one more battle?"

I look to the others and they all nod. I nod and smile at my dad.

"Ready?!" I ask my team.

"Ready!" They agree.

"DINO THUNDER POWER UP! HA!"

"WHITE RANGER DINO POWER!"

We all morph as dino rangers for the final time.

"ANKYLO POWER!"

"TYRANNO POWER!"

"TRICERA POWER!"

"PTERA POWER!"

"CEPHLA POWER!"

"BRACHIO POWER!"

"DRAGO POWER!"

"DINO POWER!"

"This is it!" I say. We are all in super dino mode.

We all run forward to fight Mesagog for the last time.

Mesagog fires lightning at us all but it doesn't hit us. I fire at him from a distance and he groans as it hits. Then Conner, Kira, Ethan and Leanne jump at Mesagog. They all use their weapons to aim for him as they land but Mesagog strikes them and they all go flying away from him. Me, dad and Tommy go for him and Kira comes to help we all strike him but he blasts us and I am forced to raise a shield to stop us from landing hard as we all go flying. Conner jumps onto Mesagog's back and Leanne grabs him from the side.

"I've got him," Conner tells the rest of us.

He then jumps off and Leanne flips away from him. Ethan and Trent run forward and double team him as they try to knock him off of balance. Mesagog blasts them and they both go flying. He blasts dad and he hits the floor as well.

"Dr O!" Kira calls.

"Dad!" Leanne says worriedly.

"Hey!" Kira says as both she and Leanne face Mesagog. "Back off!"

He pushes a car at the two of them and they jump off of it and begin to run towards him. Leanne uses her Cephla mace and wraps it around Mesagog. He pulls her towards him, and as they have a tug of war Mesagog blasts both her and Kira who was flying forward to strike him, and they both hit the ground.

"My turn!" I yell and I go to strike him but he sends his tongue out at me. I throw a fireball at it and he is forced to retract it. But then he surprises me and wraps it around my arms and pins them to my waist as he tighten his tongue around me. He then flips me over and I flame before I hit the ground and land safely on my feet a few feet from where I would have landed on my back.

"Hovercraft cycle!" I hear Ethan's voice say and I look up to see him on his cycle.

He blasts Mesagog and as he passes by him I grab for my shield while he is distracted.

"Over here Messo-mess!" I yell.

He turns to me and growls.

"TRIASSIC ARMOUR! ACTIVATE!" I call and Mesagog watches as I transform. "POWER OF FIRE! TRIASSIC WARRIOR!"

Mesagog growls as I pull the sword out of my shield and run at him.

My body, shield and sword are suddenly surrounded by flames and I strike him once, twice, three times and he cries out. I then run by and strike him across the stomach.

"BURNING FIRE!" I call out. "FIRE BLAST!"

Mesagog screams as flames enfulged him and he blows up.

I place my sword back into it's holder in my shield and power down to dino ranger as the others approach me.

"You did it Courtney!" Kira praises me as they all look both injured and tired.

I am about to thank her when the sound of a barrel moving makes me turn back to the place where Mesagog had fallen. Mesagog appeared again.

"UNBELIAVABLE!" Dad said.

Mesagog begins to make a lot of copies of himself.

"HE'S REPLICATING!" I yell in anger.

"One was bad enough!" Ethan said.

"How do we fight them all!" Conner asked.

"Guys!" Dad says and we all look at him. "We have to use all our powers!"

"It's the only way!" I agree and so do the others.

"Do it Courtney!" Trent says to me.

"POWER RANGERS!" We all yell.

"I summon the power of the gem!" I call.

The dino sign on our chests glow and we put our hands to them. Then our whole ranger suits glow.

"DINO GEMS UNITE!" We all call.

Our powers form one big dinosaur head and with my power it is on fire.

It basically eats the Mesagog's and we all turn as once and for all Mesagog is destroyed.

We all gather around but the weird thing is we have no power but I still carry my Triassic shield.

"Everyone okay?" Dad asked us all.

"I feel different!" Conner says.

"Yeah," Trent agrees. "Like normal again!"

"Me too!" Both Kira and Leanne say as we all hold our dino gems up.

"It's gone!" Ethan realises. "Our powers gone!"

"It took everything the gems had to destroy Mesagog!" dad explained and then he glanced at me.

"So these are.." Leanne began.

"Ancient artefacts," dad says and I pass mine over. "That will look great in a museum."

I want to try something but before I can I hear a voice behind us all.

"Hello rangers!" It was Cassidy.

"So you know then!" Conner approached her and me and dad stepped forward worriedly.

I hid my shield behind my back. Elsa appeared with Devin and she gave us an apologetic look.

"Well I kinda already knew," he says to all of us and I sigh. "But I had to show Cassidy in person!"

"This is like the greatest thing ever!" Cassidy exclaimed and I knew we were in trouble. Cassidy hugs Devin. We all glance at each other. "And we've got it all on tape! You know a reporter could make a career out of this."

"Cassidy you know what would happen to us if that tape got out?" I asked worried as I used strange non-human powers in that tape. "What our lives would be like?"

"Yeah I do?" she says smiling. "That's why I'm giving it to you!"

I am shocked when she hands me the tape.

"What?" Leanne asked as we all looked shocked.

"Cassidy passing up on the scoop of a life time?" Kira shakes her head in disbelief. "Why?"

"Because you're my friends!" Cassidy said and I felt grateful. "It wouldn't be right to ruin your lives, just to make mine better, not after everything you've done for us!"

Ethan smiled as he looked around at all of us.

"I always knew there was a heart deep down in there somewhere!" He said.

"Yeah I just needed someone to help me find it," she says smiling at Devin and they began to back away from us. "Now... if you'll excuse us!"

"Yeah we're off to prom!" Devin said happily.

They walked off and after a brief smile so did Elsa.

"Finally!" Leanne said smiling after them.

"Yeah I thought those two were never going to get together," Kira agreed.

We all nod at her in agreement. They all then turn to me.

"So how come you have your shield?!" Trent asks. I pull it out and look at it. It now full resembles my armour and the swords handle is a bright red and orange. Like fire.

"Because it has become mine," I say giving them the only explanation I can think of. "I am still the Triassic warrior and I still have powers. My destiny must not be over."

We all leave to go home.

*Back to action*

Leanne has just left with Conner for prom and I sigh. Then my dad comes down and laughs.

"That's no way to dress for prom!" He says still laughing.

"I can't go," I say. "I have no dress!"

He smiles and walks towards me.

"Come with me," he says and I sigh but get up.

He takes me upstairs and leads me to my bedroom. On my bed is the most beautiful dress that I have ever seen and I turn back to my dad.

"I wanted to as your father get you a dress," He explained. "I got Leanne one and I brought you this."

I smiled.

"But when you have been ignoring me I thought," I began but he cut me off.

"I am happy that you will be going to Briarwood in a few weeks," he said. "Yes me and Leanne are going to miss you but you know what?"

He came closer.

"What?" I asked feeling the tears coming on.

"No matter who you're real parents are, you will always be my little girl!" He said and I hugged him tightly and he kissed the top of my head. "I'm sorry about the way you felt. I just didn't know how to keep the dress from you!"

I nodded and thanked him.

"Now!" he said with a fake stern look. "You get in that dress put on some make up and flame us there. Because I want a dance with my girl."

I nodded, got ready and we left.

We arrived and stood next to Trent and his dad. I spotted Leanne in her own dress with Conner who looked very neat in his suit. They were stood talking to Ethan and his date who he me at a theatre.

"Hey guys!" Me and Trent called down to our three friends.

"Hey Trent!" Ethan called back. "Courtney!"

Leanne smiled up at me.

"Nice dress sis!" she said waving.

"Back at ya!" I reply.

I turn back to my dad and Anton who were having a conversation.

"So Trent what's next for you?" My dad asked.

"Actually I'm really excited," Trent said smiling at me and my dad who placed an arm around my waist. "I'm heading to Art school in the fall!"

"Wow way to go Trent!" I said high fiving him.

"Yeah," dad agreed. "You okay with that Anton?"

"Couldn't be happier Tommy," he said looking proudly at his son. "And what about you Courtney?"

I sighed I haven't told my dad yet.

"Well I am heading to the university just outside of Briarwood!" I said and my dad looked shocked. "I may be searching but don't mean I can't think about my future!"

He nods and my dad smiles proudly.

"What about you Tommy?" Anton asks. "What's next for the man who's done it all?"

"I was thinking of staying here," he said and then glanced at me. "Briarwood Isn't too far so I can keep in touch with Courtney and Leanne has got another year in school. As for me I can have a quiet life."

"Quiet?" I asked looking confused. "Whats that? I haven't had quiet in two years!"

They laughed but then another voice joined us.

"You sure about staying here?" It was Elsa who now wore something different and she had changed her name. "I hear the new principals a real hard-nose."

"I think she'll be brilliant!" dad says.

Elsa smiled.

"I was wondering if the new principal would save a dance for an old friend!" Anton asked her.

"I'd be honoured!" she said.

Anton took her arm and they walked off.

"I gotta go!" my dad said and I smiled.

"You outta here!" Trent asked.

"No but he has got to do something else!" I said and took off to find Kira.

We waited for my dad to introduce us so we could sing. Kira had asked me to do one more song of ours before I left. I had agreed.

"Okay guys, I just want to say," My dad said and we both took a deep breath. "We've had an interesting year. We've been through a lot. More than any school should have to go through. But we've made it and we're okay. That's what's important so let's have fun tonight! And to help us do that here they are Kira ford and Courtney Oliver."

We look around to see all of our friends cheering and clapping and we both smile at each other.

Kira:

you gave me something more than

I ever thought before we could be

falling in love

oh baby

Courtney:

I can picture you and me

More than coming closer

Just a little more time

and a little less thinking

Both:

Just a little more time Is all that I need

Just a little believing

Just a little more breathing

let's give it time

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

As we finished everyone cheered.

For the rest of the night I had a dance with my dad, Trent and even Conner and Ethan.

I was going to miss Reefside.
