Chapter 26: One More Energem

In the deep dark recesses of space, Sledge and his army are getting ready to launch their next attack on the rangers. Now that Sledge was in possession of the purple energem, he has just as much power as the rangers, evening out the playing field against them. But while Sledge has one energem, that simply wasn't enough. Sledge wasn't going to stop until he was in possession of all eleven energems.

"Fool! Get your hazmat suit on!" Wrench exclaimed to the incoming vivix coming into the main control room. Wrench and several of the vivix were building a device that could take their fight against the rangers to a whole other level. "Are you pouring without a mask? Am I the only one who cares about safety!"

As several vivix moved a cart of hazardous chemicals out the room, they bumped into Poisandra's luggage, who couldn't wait to get off the ship. "Careful!" Wrench exclaimed, catching one of the chemical canisters that fell off the cart. "This stuff will eat a hole right through the ship!"

"Who cares about the ship?!" Poisandra screeched. "You pathetic peabrains nearly ruined my beautiful luggage!"

"Are you going somewhere?" Wrench asked curiously.

"I'm leaving! This time it's for good!" Poisandra was done waiting around for her fiancee to get all the energems. She has been waiting around for him 65 million years and she done waiting.

"Poisandra, my sweet! You can't go now, I finally have an energem!" Sledge pleaded to her.

"You have one energem! If you think I'm waiting a second longer for you to get all eleven, you're crazy!"

"But wait, just let me get one more energem. And I promise we'll get married" Sledge promised her.

"One more? You promise?"

"I do..."

Poisandra squealed with glee, "I like the sound of that!"

"We're getting married~" Curio sang as he and Poisandra skipped out of the main control room.

"It's time for the rangers to fight against the power on energem, not with it..." Sledge loaded the purple energem into his blaster. Sledge was ready to fight the rangers with the power of an energem.

...

Back at the Command Center, the rangers were trying to come up with a plan to get the energem back from Sledge. Although they were skeptical, Riley was right. The only way the rangers can get the energem back from Sledge was the infiltrate his ship. Kendall had developed Get-Bot: a rover type of robot that is programmed to find and retrieve energems. The rangers were now testing it out by hiding the red energem in the command center so Get-Bot can retrieve it.

After hiding the red energem, Get-Bot roved around the command center for a little bit before finding it under a rag. "Red energem, found..."

"Good heavens" Ivan said in awe as Get-Bot roved back to the rangers with the red energem.

"Awesome, it worked perfectly" Tyler smiled as he got his energem back.

"And that is how Get-Bot is going to find the purple energem on Sledge's ship..." Kendall informed the rangers.

"Yes, but..." Riley picked up Get-Bot. "How do we get it into a transport pod so Get-Bot could get up there?"

"Sledge has an energem now, I have a feeling we're gonna see him sooner rather than later" Chase spoke out.

"Yeah and it's gonna be one heck of a fight to get it back" Tess added, and she was right. Sledge is just as powerful as the rangers now and defeating him isn't going to be easy.

"We need to counter Sledge's moves with everything we've got..." Kendall told the rangers, and as if on cue the doors to the Command Center opened, with Prince Phillip arriving. "Including the graphite ranger." Prince Phillip came from Zander to aid the rangers in their fight against Sledge. With Sledge having an energem, they need help from everyone they can get.

"Prince Phillip!" Shelby exclaimed with glee.

"Good to see you sire..." Ivan greeted the crown prince of Zandar.

"You too sir Ivan, I am ready."

"Welcome back, Prince" Koda casually socked the Prince in his arm.

"Koda!" Ivan stopped Koda from being too casual with the Prince.

"Sorry" Koda apologized.

As Prince Phillip stood there, his eyes fell on Tess, who was standing there with a smile on her face. Prince Phillip approached her, "Thank you for coming to help" Tess thanked him.

"Of course" Prince Phillip smiled, placing his hand on her cheek. Tess smiled as she leaned into his cheek. The rangers exchanged smirks, noticing how fond the Prince is with Tess. The moment was cut short with Chase pushing his way in between the two of them. "Good to see you here, my man" Chase wrapped an arm around Tess and Prince Phillip. Tess and the Prince exchanged weak smiles as an alert was heard throughout the Command Center.

"What is it Ms. Morgan?" Tess asked.

"Transport pods are entering the atmosphere" Kendall informed them as they saw several of Sledge's transport pods entering the Earth's atmosphere. "Here's our chance..."

"Let's go!" Tyler exclaimed as the rangers and Kendall quickly left to go get the purple energem back from Sledge.

...

Once they had gotten the exact coordinates of where Sledge's transport pods would be landing, the rangers morphed, wanting to bring the fight to them. "These are the coordinates" Kendall informed the rangers.

"But I don't see any pods..." Shelby looked around.

"Eyes up, guys!" Tyler pointed to the sky, seeing numerous transport pods.

"Wow, there's so many" Tess quaked in fear.

"Keep 'em distracted" Kendall instructed them. "Ivan and I will work around to the rear and plant Get-Bot in a transport pod."

"Be careful..." Tyler told them, as they left to go place Get-Bot in a pod. "They've got an energem, it's a whole new ballgame..." The rangers looked up to see Sledge, flying down above them.

"Surprise!" Sledge exclaimed, blasting them with his blaster that was powered by the purple energem. The blast immobilized the rangers, making it impossible for them to move.

"Can't move!" Tyler gritted through his teeth, trying to move but he couldn't.

"I'm starting to see why you rangers have been so tough to beat..." Sledge cackled. "These energems are pretty powerful..." Sledge was backed by Fury, several Vivix and Skybolts. Sledge was ready to take the fight to the rangers.

"Pretty powerful is an understatement" Kendall grumbled as she and Ivan hid behind a tree near a transport pod, watching everything unfold.

"They cannot move, I must help them" Ivan said to Kendall. The rangers couldn't protect themselves and Ivan wasn't going to let Sledge simply take his friends' energems.

"Sledge is too powerful, you can't fight him on your own" Kendall expressed her concerns.

"Fear not, I know what to do..." Ivan came up with a plan as he went to go aid his friends.

"Get-Bot find us an energem when Sledge returns to his ship" Kendall placed Get-Bot in a transport pod, before hiding behind a tree for safety.

"Wanna know how this is going to play out?" Sledge growled, slowly approaching Tyler. "First I'm going to take the red energem..." Before Sledge could take Tyler's energem, he was shot with a powerful blast. The blast was strong enough to send Sledge flying. It was Keeper.

"Keeper..." Tyler breathed out.

"You may have an energem, but you'll never have the heart of a ranger..." Keeper stood against Sledge to protect the rangers.

Sledge's army charged at Keeper, but the bounty hunter stopped them."Stay back! He's mine" Sledge was one one knee before getting back to his feet. "You've fooled me once and today finally pay for it!"

Sledge and Keeper charged at each other. This was a fight that was millions of years in the making Sledge struck at Keeper but he managed to block the blow with his staff. Keeper tried to mount an attack but Sledge easily countered it. Keeper aimed a kick at Sledge, but easily countered it and attacked with a kick of his own. Keeper evaded it with a side flip, but before he could attack, Sledge attacked him with his laser. Keeper managed to evade the blasts with some swift flips, but it was just too much. The blast was powerful enough to send Keeper flying.

"No!" the rangers exclaimed, as Keeper was separated from his staff.

"Keeper!" Kendall said, worried.

"I'm not done with you yet, Keeper! Take him back to the ship and make him suffer" Sledge instructed the Skybolts to restrain Keeper. Once Skybolts, Vivix, and Fury returned back to the ship with Keeper, Sledge turned his attention back to the rangers. "Now where was I? Oh, yes! First I'm going to take the red energem..."

Sledge reached into Tyler and separated him from his energem. Once he had separated the two, it was easy Sledge to take Tyler's energem. "It's mine now!" Sledge roared. Without his energem, Tyler demorphed and fell to the ground. Tyler was powerless.

Meanwhile, Fury, the Skybolts, and the vivix were taking Keeper back to Sledge's ship as a prisoner. "Get in the pod!" a Skybolt pushed Keeper into a transport pod as they headed back into space.

"Keeper needs help..." Kendall spoke out. With the rangers out of commission, Kendall was the only one who could rescue Keeper. "You have no choice Kendall..."

As a Vivix approached the transport by Kendall, she easily overpowered the vivix before getting into the transport pod and going to space to rescue Keeper. "Returning to ship..." Kendall powered up the transport pod.

Sledge wasn't done with the rangers yet. Now that he had Tyler's energem, he wasn't going to stop until he had all of them. "One down, seven to go..." Sledge approached Koda, ready to take the blue energem. As he was about to take Koda's energem, Tyler grabbed Keeper's staff and attacked Sledge, sending the bounty hunter flying. With Sledge down, the hold he had on the rangers disappeared, freeing them.

"We're free" Prince Philip breathed out in relief. As Sledge was getting back to his feet, Ivan and Ptera zord flew in to aid the rest of the rangers.

"What?! A zord?!" Sledge growled as he charged at the rangers.

"Hang on Tyler!" Koda put an arm around his friend.

"Jump!" Shelby exclaimed as the rangers jumped up into Ivan's zord, before Sledge could get to them.

"No!" Sledge roared.

"Ivan thanks!" Chase thanked the brave knight for rescuing them. "Great timing!"

Back on the ground, Sledge was fuming that the rangers got away. "Wrench, send them my biggest baddest monster. Released the Greenzilla!" Sledge powered his jetpack and headed back to his ship. Even though the rangers got away, Sledge was still in possession of two energems.

After narrowly escaping Sledge, the rangers had to come up with a new plan and fast. Now that Sledge has Tyler's energem, there's no telling what he could do with all that power. "Everyone okay?" Chase asked the team.

"Yeah" the team responded.

"Keeper is powerless without his staff..." Tyler held Keeper's staff.

"Kendall!" Koda remembered. "Where Kendall?!"

"Ms. Morgan are you there?" Riley called Kendall on his Dino Com.

"Rangers! I'm in one of Sledge's transport pods! I'm going after Keeper" Kendall informed the rangers from inside the pod.

"In Sledge's pod?!" Shelby freaked out. "Ms. Morgan!" Shelby called out for Kendall but the connection was cut off the minute she left the Earth's atmosphere.

The rangers were soon meet by one of Sledge's deadliest monsters: the Greenzilla. The Greenzilla is a feral monster, quite unlike the other outlaws which make up the vast majority of Sledge's prisoners. It's size and power are unlike anything the ranges have ever faced.

"Tis a giant monster!" Ivan exclaimed. "And it could destroy Amber Beach!"

"We gotta stop it!" Tyler said to the team.

"But we have to rescue friends" Koda suggested. Keeper and Kendall could be in danger on Sledge's ship.

"Okay, let's split up!" Tyler suggested. "You use the Dino charge megazord to destroy that monster, Shelby and I will take the Plesio zord and try to get to Sledge's ship."

"You're going into outer space?" Riley asked him.

"If you have a better idea, I'm totally up for it" Tyler asked the team. Going into space was the only way for the rangers to rescue Kendall and Keeper.

"We are with you!" Ivan showed Tyler support.

"Summon zords!" Tyler, Chase, and Riley summoned their zords to form the megazord.

Zords combine!
Dino charge megazord, ready!

"Let's do this!" Chase exclaimed as the rest of the rangers faced off against the Greenzilla.

...

"All systems go" Tyler said as he and Shelby powered up the Plesio zord to fly into space.

...

"Here it comes..." Chase said as the rangers braced themselves for battle. This monster is unlike anything the rangers have ever faced before.

"That much bigger than mammoth" Koda quaked as the Greenzilla charged at the rangers.

...

As they got ready to go into space, Shelby expressed concern over Tyler, "I'm worried about you. Without your energem..."

"It's dangerous for both of us..." Tyler said to her. "But that's not gonna stop us, is it?"

"Uh-uh!"

"Plesio zord, let's go to space!" Tyler exclaimed as the Plesio zord got ready to leave the Earth's atmosphere.

...

Back in space, a transport pod returned to Sledge's ship. When it opened up, it revealed Kendall and Get-Bot inside. Once they were on board, Get-Bot immediately turned on, "Seek energem..."

While Get-Bot searched for an energem, Kendall was taking in her surroundings. Kendall was actually on Sledge's ship. As Kendall looked around, the doors opened up revealing the containment area where Sledge kept his prisoners. As Kendall tried to figure her next move, she heard voices coming her way. Panicking, Kendall looked around for somewhere to hide, but there was nowhere to go. Noticing the hazmat suits, Kendall quickly put it on to conceal her identity.

"Those rangers are pathetic" Wrench cackled, holding Sledge's blaster. "Now that we have two energems, we'll get the rest faster than a rocket powered dungeon rat!" Wrench disconnected the purple energem from Sledge's blaster. Wrench was planning to use the purple energem's power to launch another attack on the rangers. Once he had placed the purple energem in a secure box, Wrench handed the box to a vivix, "Take this to the vault immediately."

But what Wrench doesn't realize is he handed the purple energem to Kendall. Kendall quickly took the purple energem out of the box, put in her pocket, before handing the box to another vivix.

"Wrench!" a familiar voice roared. It was Sledge coming to check on his progress. "Your repair to my blaster worked perfectly! Now let's use the red energem to turn the magna beam into a laser cannon" Sledge showed the red energem to Wrench.

"Interesting..." Wrench said, intrigued. "I can do that!"

"Getting the rangers last seven energems will be child's play!" Sledge roared.

"Liar!" a voice screeched out. Sledge turned around to see his fiancee, who was less than happy that hear that he was going back on his promise to her. "You said one more energem, not seven!"

As she stomped away, Sledge chased after her, "Wait Poisandra, you don't understand! I'm so close! Poisy, darling! Wait!"

"Bring my tools! Let's go!" Wrench instructed Kendall, who was still standing there, trying to figure out her next move.

...

Back on Earth, the rest of the rangers had their hands full against Sledge's Greenzilla. The Greenzilla struck the megazord with some powerful blows, stunning the rangers. "It's power is on a whole other level!" Prince Phillip exclaimed.

"We need to try a new formation" Ivan suggested.

"Great idea!" Chase agreed.

"Activate Dino charge megazord Ptera formation" Koda, Chase, Ivan, and Riley exclaimed.

Zords, combine!
Dino charge megazord, Ptera formation, ready!

...

Back in space, the Plesio zord was coming up on Sledge's space ship. "Let's hope they don't see us..." Tyler hoped.

On Sledge's ship, Wrench was upgrading the Magna Beam and amplifying it's power. "With this energem, the converted laser cannon will be fully operational" Wrench said as he hooked up the red energem to the magna beam's main frame. "Am I a genius or just brilliant?"

As Wrench placed the grate back on the mainframe, Kendall was behind the corner, trying to figure out her next move. As they stood there, an alert sounded throughout the ship. Kendall saw on the security console that the Plesio zord was coming up on Sledge's ship.

"Security alert? What could that be?" Wrench asked.

In order to keep the rangers safe, Kendall got a hammer and hit the security console, completely disabling it. "Don't hit the console!" Wrench exclaimed. "Cease that donkey brained vivix!" Wrench instructed. As they held Kendall back, one vivix removed her helmet revealing her identity. "Well I'll be junked, how did the spectacled scientist get on our ship?! Take that disgusting human where it belongs, the trash room!" Wrench commanded as they took Kendall prisoner.

...

On Earth, the battle between the rangers and Greenzilla raged on. The rangers charged at the Greenzilla, striking it with the Stego saber. But the Greenzilla was able to evade the shots, before hitting the rangers with a powerful head butt.

"Let's finish him!" Ivan exclaimed as the megazord took flight.

"Stego saber!" the ranger exclaimed as they drew their dino sabers, but before they could even get an attack off, the Greenzilla attacked the rangers with it's tentacles. The tentacles restricted the rangers from attacking any further. Once the tentacles pinned the rangers to the ground, they were blasted with strong energy surges.

"I see stars" Koda held his head in pain.

"Guys, this isn't good" Riley gritted his teeth in pain.

"I don't know how much more we can take of this..." Tess breathed out. The Greenzilla was easily the toughest monster the rangers have ever faced.

"We must keep trying, the others are depending on us" Prince Phillip got to his feet and tried to help Chase up.

"We've got to get up!" Chase breathed out as the rangers struggled to get to their feet.

...

On Sledge's ship, Get-Bot was still roving, trying to find an energem. "Seek energem..." the Get-Bot sounded as it continued searching Sledge's ship.

"Let go of me!" Kendall struggled to get out of the vixix's grip, but she just wasn't strong enough.

"Not a chance! Things are about to heat up for you and your bug-eyed friend!" Wrench threatened her as they dragged Kendall to the ship's trash room. Inside the Vivix were powering up the incinerator with chemicals. Kendall could feel the heat radiating throughout the room. "In the incinerator!"

When Wrench said that, the vivix dragged Keeper into the room with Kendall. Kendall pushed the vivix off and reunited with Keeper.

"Kendall" Keeper breathed out, relieved that he was okay. But they both weren't gonna be okay for long.

"Keeper are you alright?"

"I am unharmed. You should not have come after me..."

"I have an idea..." Kendall said as she discreetly got a chemical canister.

Before they knew it, Kendall and Keeper were being pushed to the incinerator. As they were about to be pushed in, Sledge came stomping in "Keeper, I see you've got a friend to join you for your final moments Toss them in!"

"Hands off" Keeper exclaimed as they tried to fight free. Once they pushed them off, Keeper exclaimed, "Now!"

Kendall threw the chemical canister on the floor, burning a hole in the ship.

"What's she doing?!" Sledge roared.

"Jump!" Keeper shouted as he and Kendall jumped through the hole in the ship, but unfortunately they landed in front of two Skybolts.

"Where'd they come from?!" One Skybolt roared.

"Get the weapons!" the other one roared.

"I'm still shackled!" Keeper shouted.

"I got this!" Kendall exclaimed as she got in front of Keeper to protect him. With one of the tools she found, Kendall used it to deflect the blows from the Skybolt's clubs. But as Kendall charged at them, the Skybolts managed to deflect her blow, sending her back.

"You're brave for a human, but you're going to regret this" the Skybolt roared.

As Kendall struggled to get to her feet, she saw the purple energem radiating a bright light. "What's happening?" Kendall asked as she took the energem out of her pocket.

"She has the purple energem!" the Skybolts roared as they shrunk back.

Kendall's bravery to protect Keeper and determination to fight allowed the purple energem to see the that she is a true hero. Kendall spent all this time trying to find a hero for the purple energem to bond to, she never stopped to consider that she is the hero the purple energem was looking for all along. The purple energem bonded to Kendall, morphing her into a ranger.

"What? It chose me?" Kendall said in awe.

"Yes, a wise choice indeed..." Keeper complimented her. Keeper always knew that Kendall had the potential to be a hero, and he couldn't think of a better person for the purple energem to bond to.

The Skybolts charged at Kendall, but this time she was ready. Kendall deflected their blows with her Dino saber before striking them with some powerful strikes. "Wow, so this is what it feels like to be a ranger" Kendall said in awe at her new found strength. Kendall blocked the Skybolt's punch, before kicking them to the side. Just as they were about to come at Kendall, the doors opened to reveal Shelby and Tyler. Shelby blasted at the Skybolt with her Dino blaster, taking it down.

"Keeper!" Tyler exclaimed. "Purple... ranger?" Tyler and Shelby were taken aback that there was a ranger on Sledge's ship. They could only wonder who could've bonded to the purple energem.

Kendall freed Keeper, cutting off the shackles with her Dino saber. "You were always worthy of being a ranger, Kendall. You only needed to opportunity to prove it..." Keeper revealed the purple ranger to be Kendall.

"No way, Kendall?!" Shelby exclaimed.

"Yep. It's me, alright" Kendall chuckled.

The alarm started sounding off. With the rangers on the ship, Sledge and his crew were in hot pursuit of them. "We can celebrate later! Let's go!" Tyler exclaimed as they quickly retreated from Sledge's ship and back to the Plesio zord.

...

Meanwhile on Earth, the rest of the rangers' still had their hands full with the Greenzilla. "We're standing! Let's mix thing up!" Chase exclaimed.

"Activate Dino charge megazord, Ankylo-Pachy formation!"

Zords combine!
Dino charge megazord, Ankylo-Pachy formation, ready!

The rangers stood tall, ready to take the fight to the hulking monster.

Back on Sledge's ship, Kendall, Shelby, and Tyler were trying to get off the ship with Keeper. "First we need to get Keeper to safety, we'll get the red energem later" Kendall instructed them.

As they rounded a corner, Kendall's Dino com started going off. It was Chase. "Shelby, Tyler, have you found Keeper and Ms. Morgan?"

"This is Ms. Morgan..."

"Wait, huh?" Chase looked on confused. He couldn't believe his eyes. Kendall was a power ranger.

"We've got Keeper and should be off the ship in a few minutes."

"Ms. Morgan, you're the purple ranger now?!"

"Yes, we're on our way..."

"Quickly, everybody. Let's go" Shelby whispered as they quietly tried to get off the ship, without getting noticed.

As Tyler was about to follow them, he heard Sledge conspiring with Wrench and Fury. "Wrench! Give me an update! Is the red energem installed?"

Tyler quickly hid behind a crate to avoid being seen. Tyler needed to know what Sledge was planning on doing with the energem. "Yes, sir. Our new laser cannon will be powerful enough to destroy that megazord with one blast."

"Excellent, lockdown the ship and find those rangers" Sledge instructed Wrench and Fury. "Or I'll put you both down the trash grinder!"

"Yes sir!" Fury complied as Wrench followed quickly behind them.

Once the coast was clear, Tyler quickly went after Kendall, Shelby, and Keeper. Tyler couldn't let Sledge fire off the laser. Tyler needed to make a sacrifice in order to ensure the rangers' safety. "Shelby!"

"Tyler! Let's go!"

"Sledge is using the red energem to power the ship's lasers. He's planning to destroy the megazord" Tyler informed them.

"Come on, we've got to warn them" Shelby suggested. As they started to walk away, Tyler stayed behind. "What are you doing? We need to go!"

"I have to find the red energem. It's the only way to stop Sledge..."

The alarm started sounding off and every door on the ship started to close.

"I'll come with you!" Shelby offered.

"No! The other's need the Plesio zord and all the rangers' strength we could find" Tyler stopped Shelby from coming with him. Shelby would be more useful with the rangers than with him.

"But you can't do it alone!" Shelby didn't want to leave Tyler behind.

"I don't wanna do it alone, but I have to..." Tyler told her, as the doors closed between them. "And we both know it."

"Tyler! Tyler!" Shelby called out for him but the doors were already closed.

Once all the doors were closed, Tyler ran all over, trying to find his energem. It was now all on Tyler to find his energem before Sledge could destroy the megazord.

Now that they were off the ship, Kendall and Shelby along with Keeper were on the Plesio zord, on their way back to Earth to help the rangers in their fight. "Chase we're coming!" Kendall called the rest of the team from the Plesio zord.

The rangers were struggling to survive against the Greenzilla. No matter what formation they tried, the Greenzilla bested them every single time. "Pachy zord! Wrecking ball!" Prince Phillip exclaimed as he attacked the Greenzilla with the Pachy zord's wrecking ball. While the wrecking ball stunned the Greenzilla, he deflected it off his armor, sending it back at the rangers. As they struggled to stay on their feet, the Greenzilla powered a powerful energy beam at the rangers.

"It so strong!" Koda cried out.

"They're counting on us" Chase fell to the ground. "But it's too powerful!"

The rangers fell to their feet. The rangers were simply too weak to continue fighting. But just as all hope was loss, the Plesio zord was flying in. "Activate Plesio charge, megazord!" Kendall exclaimed.

Plesio charge megazord, engage!
Plesio charge megazord, ready!

"Let's do this!" Kendall exclaimed. Kendall was ready to take to fight to Sledge and his minions.

"We have to keep fighting..." Riley gritted through his teeth as the other rangers, got back on their feet. But just as they got back to their feet, the megazord started disengaging.

"We're going down!" Chase cried out as the rangers fell out of the megazord. The rangers couldn't keep fighting anymore. The Greenzilla was just too powerful.

"Plesio land!" Kendall exclaimed as she landed the megazord. It was Kendall's turn to take on the Greenzilla.

"Look, it's the Plesio charge megazord!" Tess exclaimed.

The megazord landed some powerful blows on the Greenzilla. This stunned it, sending it stumbling back.

"Good job, Shelby and Ms. Morgan!" Riley cheered.

As the rangers stood there, Keeper appeared next to them. "It's Keeper!" Ivan breathed out.

"You're okay!" Chase said. in relief.

"Yes, but Tyler stayed on Sledge's ship and needs your help" Keeper informed the other rangers.

"Got it! Plesio can handle Greenzilla until we get back" Chase said. "Let's go guys!" The other rangers quickly hurried to go help Tyler.

The Plesio charge megazord held it's own against the Greenzilla. They managed to land numerous hits, not allowing the hulking monster any opening to attack. "Plesio rocket punch!" Kendall exclaimed as they aimed a rocket punch at the Greenzilla, dealing a great amount of damage. "Controlling a megazord is amazing!"

The Greenzilla was staggering, but the Plesio charge megazord is still standing tall.

...

Back on Sledge's ship, one of the vivix was chasing after Get-Bot but was soon was met by a kick from Tyler. As Tyler raced to find his energem, the alarm started sounding off. "The bridge!" Tyler exclaimed as the doors to the bridge started to close. The Bridge was Tyler's only way to explore the rest of the ship for his energem. If Tyler was cut off from the Bridge, he would be stuck in containment area.

Tyler quickly made it through the doors before they closed. Once he was through, Tyler held his Dino Blaster up as he slowly explored the area. Once he was in the main control room, he quickly blasted a vivix, and hit an incoming vivix with a windmill kick, before blasting them again.

As Tyler looked around the main control room, he noticed a familiar red glow coming from underneath the magna beam. "That glow, it must be the red energem!" Tyler removed panel from underneath the magna beam and saw the red energem connected to the blaster's mainframe. As Tyler was about to remove the grate, he heard loud roaring. Tyler looked up to see Sledge towering over him.

Sledge blasted at Tyler, sending him into a tech cart. "You're not so tough without your energem, red ranger..." Sledge growled as he slowly walked up to Tyler.

"The laser cannon is locked onto the megazord" Wrench informed Sledge.

"Now you can watch as I destroy your friends..." Sledge walked towards the magna beam.

"No!" Tyler screamed.

"Laser cannon!" Sledge hit the button activating the laser cannon, but the beam did not fire. "What?!" Sledge repeatedly hit the button but the beam still did not fire.

"Energem found" Get-Bot got the red energem back to Tyler.

That was why the laser cannon wasn't firing. The red energem was the laser cannon's only source of energy, without it, it will cease working.

"Who took my red energem?!" Sledge growled, noticing the red energem wasn't connected to the magna beam anymore.

"I'll give you one guess..." Tyler spoke out, standing before Sledge fully morphed. "I've been looking forward to this!"

"Me too..." Sledge growled.

Tyler and Sledge charged at each other, and the battle waged on. Tyler aimed a jab at Sledge but he caught it. Sledge fired back at Tyler, but he used his T-Rex chopped to stop the blow before spinning and jabbing Sledge in the gut. The jab was powerful enough to send Sledge flying into the console that controls the ship.

"Master Sledge!" Wrench came to his superior's side. "You've destroyed the navigation console!"

Without the navigation, the ship was spiraling out of space. The ship was starting to fall apart at the seams. "Danger! Evacuate ship immediately!" The ship sounded off. Tyler made a beeline out of the main control room, as Sledge's ship started hurling it's way to the Earth's atmosphere. "Danger! All systems failing!"

Tyler scrambled to find his way off Sledge's ship, but everywhere he turned was chaos and mayhem. Tyler pushed his way through some doors and he found himself in the holding area for the transport pods. As one of the vivix tried to contain the explosions, but it became too much and simply got into a transport pod, making it's way to Earth. "Oh no! Looks like that was the last pod. There's only one choice..."

Not wanting to go down with Sledge's ship, Tyler opened the hatch, ready to jump ship. "I wish you could see me now dad!" Tyler exclaimed. "It's about to get wild! Tyler jumped out of the ship just as Sledge's ship was entering Earth's atmosphere.

"We need to stabilize the thrusters!" Wrench cried out as tried to stabilize the ship.

"You just had to have one more energem!" Poisandra reprimanded her fiancee. It was because of Sledge's greed that they were all put in this situation. Now they were all going down the burning ship. "You're a half-brain!"

"65 million years and you're barely figuring that out?!" Sledge growled.

"We're going down!" Fury roared.

As Sledge's ship plummeted, Tyler was free falling in the sky. "Looks like this is the end for both of us Sledge..." Tyler feared as he saw Sledge's ship explode before his eyes. But before Tyler could hit the ground, he was caught by the Ptera zord.

"You do love to live dangerously Sir Tyler" Ivan joked.

"What danger?" Tyler got back to his feet. "I knew you guys would be there for me..."

"Darn right, we'll always be there" Chase said to his friend.

"Thanks guys" Tyler high-fived Ivan. Tyler could always count on his friends to be there for him, no matter what.

"Shelby, Ms. Morgan, Sledge's ship has crashed. We've got Tyler and we're heading your way" Ivan informed them as they went to go aid their friends in their fight.

The Ptera zord and the T-Rex zord regrouped with the Plesio charge megazord, as the rangers were transported to the Plesio charge megazord's cockpit. Now that the rangers were all back together, there was nothing stopping them now. "Relax Rexy, I'm okay buddy!" Tyler reassured his zord.

"You got your energem back!" Shelby said with glee.

"Absolutely and Sledge is history!" Tyler high-fived Shelby.

"Yes! Tyler you had all of us scared..."

"As my dad used to say, it's all part of the adventure" Tyler placed a hand on Shelby's shoulder. "We've never been stronger. Let's finish that monster and end this for good!"

"Activate Plesio charge megazord, Pachy-Rex formation!" Kendall exclaimed.

Zords combine!
Plesio charge megazord, Pachy-Rex formation, ready!

"Dinosaur might, ready to fight!"

The Greenzilla blasted at the rangers, but it did not phase them in the slightest.

"Time to take down this last monster..." Tyler exclaimed as the rangers charged at the Greenzilla. The rangers hit the large beast with the Pachy zord's wrecking ball, sending it stumbling back. The rangers hit it with a powerful jab, stunning it.

"Pachy zord, wrecking ball!" Kendall exclaimed. The wrecking ball dealt a great deal of damage to the Greenzilla. The Greenzilla used it's tentacles to restrain the rangers, but the rangers caught it with ease, dragging the Greenzilla down.

"You know what to do!" Kendall exclaimed.

"T-Rex blast!" The rangers exclaimed. "3...2...1! Galactic blast!"

The blast was so powerful that it sent the Greenzilla flying into the sky, finally destroying it.

"Monster extinct!" the rangers exclaimed as they stood tall.

The rangers cheered in celebration. They did it. The rangers destroyed Sledge and the Earth is now safe.

...

Tess was in her dorm room, packing her bags. Now that Sledge was destroyed and Earth was safe, the power rangers were no longer needed in Amber Beach. Now that her duties as a ranger have been fulfilled, Tess has decided to go back home to Eden Hills and spend some much needed time with her grandparents. Tess decided to take some time off from school and focus on reconnecting with her family. Now that she wasn't a ranger anymore, Tess didn't have a reason to stay. Tess never thought this day would actually come but it's here.

As Tess zipped up her last suitcase, she walked over to her empty desk, picking up her bus ticket back home. Tess let out a somber breath. "It's all over..." Tess breathed out, as she heard honking outside her window. Tess walked over to her window to see a large stretch limo outside. She smiled as she saw Prince Phillip come out. Prince Phillip had shown up to give Tess a ride to the museum so she could say bye to all her friends one last time.

Tess grabbed her bags and went down to front. As Tess left her building, she turned around and took in one last time. Tess had some incredible memories here that she'll never forget. Tess turned around as Prince Phillip instructed his guards to put her bags in the back of the car. "Are you ready?" Prince Phillip asked her.

"As ready as I'll ever be" Tess forced a smile on her face as she got into the limo, heading to the museum. "It's over, the world is now safe" Prince Philip said with relief in his voice.

"Yeah, it's crazy" Tess chuckled. "It's like, what do we do now?"

"Well, if you ever in Zandar, do come and visit" Prince Phillip smiled at her. "I would love to show you my country..."

"Of course..." Tess smiled at him. Tess scooted closer to Prince Phillip, leaning her head on his shoulder. The prince was definitely caught off guard but he definitely was not complaining.

It was a short drive from the university to the museum. Once they had gotten there, Prince Phillip got out, and opened the door for Tess as his bodyguards got her bags out.

It was time for one of the hardest goodbyes she would ever have to make.

...

Back down at the Command Center, Kendall stood in front of the crystal beds before putting her energem inside. The rangers have made such progress from when they've first started. They started out with only six energems but now they are close to finding all eleven. Now that their ranger responsibilities are done, the rangers left their energems in Kendall and Keeper's care.

"Nine of the energems have been returned. Thank you rangers" Keeper commended the rangers on all their hard work. "Koda, Ivan and of course Kendall will help me find the last two..."

"With Sledge finally gone, the rest of you could return to your lives. Do whatever you like..." Kendall smiled at the team.

"Until the last energem is found, you will remain bound to your dinosaur spirit" Keeper informed the rangers. The bond each of the rangers had to their energems is eternal. "If ever we need your help, you'll know..."

"It's been an honor to fight beside all of you" Prince Phillip showed his gratitude to the rangers. It was because of the rangers, that the Prince became a better version of himself.

"The honor was ours, your highness" Ivan bowed his head to head of the Zanadarian Royal Family. "I'm going to miss you, one and all..."

"Well, I'm going home to New Zealand. If anyone comes over, look me up" Chase gazed down at Tess.

"My family!" Koda smiled through his tears as he ran over to the team, picking up Tess and Shelby in a hug, as everyone else joined in. The rangers weren't just a team, they truly were a family. And even though they are going to apart, their hearts will always be connected through the countless memories they've created together.

Once the team pulled away from their massive group hug, Tess looked up at Chase, "I'm headed to the bus station right now, I could use some company..."

Chase smiled and said "Yeah, I'll head with you, eh..."

Out in front, Tyler was loading up his jeep, ready to head out to his next adventure. As Tyler put the last of his stuff in his jeep, he was met by Shelby. "Hey."

"So, where are you headed?" Shelby asked, curiously.

"Wherever the next page leads me" Tyler held up his father's journal. Now that his ranger duties were fulfilled, Tyler could now resume is search for his father.

"Still looking for your dad, huh?"

"Yeah, for as long as it takes..." Shelby shifted uncomfortably. Shelby doesn't know where she's going from here, but one thing is for sure, she wanted to be with Tyler. "You wanna help? I could use a Dino-know-it-all."

Shelby thought for a moment, "Sure!"

Tyler loaded up Shelby's things in the back of his jeep as they headed out. Before they could get too far, they saw Riley in the middle of the road, struggling to get his scooter started.

"You need a ride?" Tyler asked.

"We're headed your way" Shelby smiled.

"Yeah" Riley breathed out in defeat, as he loaded his scooter on the back of Tyler's jeep.

"Is this deja vu or what?" Shelby chuckled. This was very reminiscent of the first time Tyler, Shelby, and Riley met when they first bonded to their energems.

As Riley got in the back of Tyler's jeep, he shared his theory with his friends, "So guys, I have a theory where those last energems might be..." They rode off as they searched for their next adventure...

...

Meanwhile, Tess and Chase were at the bus station waiting for their buses to come pick them up. While everyone was eager to get back to their regular lives, Tess didn't know how she felt about it. Tess loved working at the cafe with her friends, who she came to love as her second family. This was Tess's life now and she couldn't imagine it any other way. But what surprised Tess the most was that she was having a difficult time saying goodbye to Chase.

As they sat there, the tension could be cut with a knife. It was very clear that Chase and Tess didn't want to leave each other. "I still can't believe that all of this is over..." Tess breathed out.

"Yeah, it seems like just yesterday I fell off my skateboard trying to talk to you" Chase chuckled out as Tess smiled thinking back on how she and Chase first met.

"Right, it just seemed like yesterday..." Tess laughed.

"I never thought this day would come..."

"Well, we knew we weren't gonna be fighting monsters for the rest of our lives" Tess joked, earning a laugh from both them, cutting the tension.

"Tess, are we ever gonna go out on that date?" Chase asked the million dollar question. "The world is finally safe, and no monsters will crash it."

"I'd really like that..." Tess smiled at them. "If you're ever in Eden Hills, come say hi. I'll show you around."

"Well, if you're ever in New Zealand, don't be afraid to hit me up."

Boldly, Tess took Chase's hand in her's. Taken aback, Chase looked at Tess as she smiled at him "Do you mind if I hold your hand?"

Chase smiled before lacing his fingers with Tess's and responded, "No, I'm cool." This was the moment Chase was waiting for ever since he first met Tess.

"I have something for you..." Tess smiled as she pulled something out of her purse. It was the yellow scarf that Tess gave to Chase when they were trapped inside that freezing building. "You remember this?"

"Your scarf" Chase said.

"I want you to have it..."

"Tess..."

"It's okay, plus I think it looks better on you than on me" Tess joked as Chase took her scarf.

As they sat there, Tess's bus was the first one to pull up. They got up as the bus driver said, "All on board for Eden Hills."

"This is my bus" Tess said as she faced Chase with tears peeking through her eyes.

"I'm gonna miss you, Tess" Chase said, cupping Tess's cheek.

"I really don't wanna say goodbye..."

"Then don't..." Chase braved on a smile "This is a see ya later."

"Chase, I am so glad that you're a part of my life."

Chase was at a loss for words. He simply didn't know what to say. Chase didn't think it would be this difficult to say goodbye to Tess. Chase had never once thought what his life would be like without Tess. He just never thought that day would come. But even though Chase and Tess were parting ways, this wasn't goodbye for them. He knew deep in his heart that he was would see this small town girl again.

Smiling, Chase took off his headphones and placed them around Tess's neck. "Chase, these are your favorite headphones..."

"So? I want you to have them" Chase smiled. "A little something to remember me by..."

Tess gently touched the headphones. This was a very nice gesture on Chase's part. "I could never forget you even if I tried" Tess laughed through her tears. "Chase, I..." Tess was cut off by Chase gently kissing her forehead.

Tess was taken aback by Chase's actions. She felt her heart racing a million miles a minute. Tess has never felt this before. "Take care of yourself, eh..."

With eyes filled with tears, Tess nodded her head as she boarded her bus. As Tess got on her bus, she looked back at Chase and somberly waved by to him before getting on her bus. Once Tess got into her seat, she looked out her window and saw Chase standing there. She placed her hand on the window as Chase waved bye. Was Tess feeling it? Was she actually starting to fall for Chase?

As Chase watched Tess's bus go further out of sight, he looked at her scarf in his hand before just clutching it tightly as he boarded his bus.

...

Meanwhile, just outside of the city, Sledge's ship crash landed just outside of Amber Beach. Inside of the ship, everything was destroyed. There were no signs of life. Surviving that crash would be impossible.

"It's my turn now..." a voice cackled.

The rangers don't realize is that the fight was only just beginning...


Author's Note: Well, that's a wrap on the first season of Power Rangers Dino Charge! This was so much fun to write and I'm so happy for the support you guys gave me during this! I am so excited to get started on writing Super Dino Charge! I have so many ideas for that season that it's gonna be lit.
Now the hot topic: Chase/Tess/Prince Phillip. I know what you guys are thinking, why isn't she with Chase yet? Why is she barely feeling her feelings now? For those of you guys who've seen Super Charge, there's gonna be another girl coming into Chase's life that's gonna jeopardize Tess's place in his heart. I have so many ideas for that as well incorporating the Prince in it as well. But in this chapter there are a handful of Chase/Tess moments as well as Prince Phillip/Tess moments. Her chemistry with both guys are very genuine and she could honestly be happy with either guy. Who do you guys think Tess should be with? Let me know in your review and why!
I am so excited to get started on Super Charge and if you guys have any ideas for any original chapters definitely let me know! I will credit you if I use any of your ideas :)
And of course, what do you guys think of the chapter as a whole? Yay or Nay?
Next Chapter: When Evil Stirs: Just as the rangers think their work is done, unbeknownst to them, an even more powerful monster is picking up where Sledge left off. What the rangers don't realize is that he's closer that they think...
