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

Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Chapter 28
It had been a few days since the Fossilador incident, Kim and Jason had told Kira and Justin what their punishment was and they had accepted it.
"Damm it how can I be loosing I'm the computer game king." said Ethan.
"Ha just admit that I'm better than you at Mario Kart I'm the Queen of the Kart" said Selena laughing now she had managed to get Ethan away from his laptop and playing her type of computer games they were sitting on some steps playing with Game boy advances, Selena had brought him a Blue one and she had a Purple one.
"I thought you weren't into computer games?" asked Ethan remembering what had happened
when he was playing on his laptop a few weeks ago.
"Well back then we were trying to work on paper for school and the noises coming from that laptop were just too loud" replied Selena, before adding "anyway I am the Queen of Mario Kart I'm unbeaten on it"
"So is that a challenge?" asked Ethan.
"Yeah I have the new one Double Dash for the Game Cube as well but I haven't raced anyone on it yet" said Selena.
"How about this weekend we have a little tournament between the Rangers" said Ethan.
"What about Tommy, Kim, Billy, Jason and Hayley?" asked Kylee, who was hanging with them while Conner was on the soccer field beside them.

Meanwhile over on the soccer field, Derrick one of the students who had been trying to get on the team for most of the school year was working on his kicks with Conner and the school teams goal keeper. He set the ball down and readied himself for the kick but instead of going towards the net it went clear over it.
Conner placed another soccer ball down part of him wishing he would give in since he wasn't any good. "You missed again, Derrick."
"Oh, oh, great that's just what I need to hear man." Derrick said. "Thanks I really appreciate your support man."
Conner smirked. "You don't need support. You need talent."
Derrick looked at Conner in frustration and then looked down at the ball before he kicked it and once again it went blazing over the bar.
"Heads up." Derek called as it flew through the air and hit Ethan knocking his Game boy out of his hand and it hit the ground and broke.
Ethan looked at Derrick. "Hey." Ethan said walking over to him while Ethan was trying to be calmed by Selena and Kylee.
"What are you complaining about, geek?" He asked smirking.
"First of all, my name is Ethan, not "geek." And out of this whole field you had to kick the ball there." Ethan said.
"Well, look, Ethan. This is my field." Derrick said as he pointed out the field. "And I'll kick the ball anywhere I want to"
"Obviously, everywhere except the net, I mean if you can't even do that are you sure this game is really for you" Ethan said, refusing to back down.
"That's does it, you are going to regret that." Derrick said turning his hand into a fist and pulling his arm back ready to punch Ethan when Conner grabbed his shoulder to hold him back.
"Hey, what's the big deal?" Conner asked Derrick. "Come on, chill man."
"Watch yourself, dweeb." Derrick said trying to lunge at Ethan but Conner held him back.
"Derrick, chill." Conner said to him again pushing him back. Derrick walked away.
"If you couldn't even hit the net you probably couldn't hit me anyway" Ethan called after him.
Conner looked back at Ethan with an impressed look on his face. "Cool it." He whispered to Ethan before Kylee went over to Conner and the followed after Derrick and the rest of the soccer team.
Ethan took a deep breath before bending down to pick up the remains of the broken Game boy.

Meanwhile in the Command Cave Kira and Justin were carrying a stack of papers onto the table for Tommy looked over at them. "No offense, Dr. O, but you need someone to seriously tidy this place up."
"That's why you're both here, it's your punishment." He said.
"What is all this stuff anyway?" Kira asked
"It looks like a pile of rubbish to me" said Justin
"Odds and ends, from before I joined up with Mercer and during my first life as a ranger. I thought that since I was stuck in my Ranger form, I might as well put it to use." Tommy answered.
"Wow." Kira said coming on a picture of the old team when he was the Green Ranger and she noticed how Justin's suit was slightly different from the original. "Nice hair."
"Hey, it was in style back then." said Tommy as he took the photo from them.
"Is this who I think it is?" Kira asked showing Tommy a new picture.
"Man, this seems like a lifetime ago. That picture was taken at our first dig." Tommy told her.
"Who's that guy?" Kira asked pointing to the right corner of the picture.
"His name was Terrance Smith." He replied.
"What happened to him?" Justin asked looking over Kira's shoulder after hearing the hurt in Tommy's voice.
"Kind of sad really. He and I were up for the same job with Anton's company, Anton chose me so Terrance went to work for another company. Then there was an accident the cave he was working in collapsed on him and he died instantly."
"So, not a happy memory?" Kira stated as a fact.
Tommy took the photo and put in the bin.

"Hey Conner." Ethan called when he saw Conner leaning against the wall. "Did you get number five on Cranston's homework? It's gotta be a trick question."
"Do you know this guy?" Derrick asked Conner.
"What's that got to do with you?" Ethan asked him.
"Look, geek boy, isn't there some kind of Sc-Fi convention that you need to go to." Derrick said to him.
"Oh, you really are cliché aren't you?" Ethan said. "Your parent's must be so proud." He said sarcastically.
Both Selena and Kylee were speechless they had never seen this side of Ethan and even Conner was shocked at what Ethan was like when he decided to stand up to a bully.
"What did you just call me? What did he just call me?" Derrick asked looking at Conner.
"Why are you asking him? Can't you figure it out for yourself?" Ethan asked.
Derrick broke the pencil that was in his hand and threw it to the floor. "That's it. I'm gunna destroy you, you're in need of a serious lesson in who's the boss in this school."
"Fine. Bring it." Ethan said taking off his book bag and handing it to Selena.
"Ethan, are you sure you want to do this?" Conner asked Ethan stepping between the two boys.
"Stay out of this McKnight. This is between me and the geek." Derrick said but just then the bell ringed.
Conner saw Selena and Kylee let out a breath of relief that the bell had rung.
"Thank God for that the bell and for the first time in my life I actually want go to class." Conner said putting his soccer ball in his locker and walking over to Kylee. Conner's Soccer friend's started walking towards their classes when Derrick stopped and whispered in Ethan's ear. "You and me after school. When McKnight and your chick won't be there to protect you." He hit Ethan twice of his shoulder before walking away.
Ethan picked up his bag and put it back around his shoulder and was about to follow Selena but then he heard the sound of an invisiportal. He groaned. "What now?"
He went over to an open door and saw Zeltrax and a monsters walking around the side of the school. "Like I don't have enough to worry about, now Zeltrax is on Campus."
He ran as fast as he could around the school and stopped about twenty feet away from Zeltrax and the monster.
"Heh, heh, heh." The monster laughed upon seeing Ethan.
"The school for misguided machines is down the road." He said.
"Very funny. But it's this school we're after." Zeltrax responded.
"Get real, Zeltrax."
"This is very real." He replied. "Termitron can destroy whole cities in a matter of moments. Turn over Dr. Oliver and Stewart right now or I will release him on your fellow students."
"Not if I can exterminate him first." Ethan replied.
"Just like every other Blue smart but stubborn."
"Like you would know anything about it" Ethan said as he felt his Morpher appear on his wrist. "Dino Thunder" But was stopped from performing the rest of his command as he heard a voice.
"Ethan!" Cassidy called to him.
Ethan groaned turning to see Cassidy, Devin and a few more students look at the scene.
"Perfect timing." Zeltrax said.
"Now those are what I call bullies. Roll the camera." Cassidy told Devin, as he pulled his camera out.
"No, stay back." Ethan yelled at them.
The monster aimed his laser and shot at where Cassidy and the other students were standing. Termitron just laughed as the students ran. Cassidy, Devin and some other students had hid behind some bushes but could still get a good view of what was going on.
Termiton then shot his lasers at Ethan who did a few flips to avoid the laser. Ethan wanted to Morph but he saw the students hiding and knew he couldn't do so in front of them.
"Hey you want to earn a few bucks" Cassidy asked one of the students.
"Sure thing, but what are you two going to do?"
"Were going to try and find a better viewing point" said Devin already knowing they were going to find a quiet area and Morph and help Ethan.

Kira and Justin were late for school and then saw the monster and Zeltrax that Ethan was trying to fight but not give away he was the Blue Ranger. "Great, like we're not late enough already." said Justin.
Kira and Justin ducked back behind a wall and checked to see if any body was around before pulling out their Morphers.
"DINO THUNDER POWER UP PTERA" called Kira.
"GREEN RANGER DINO POWER" called Justin.
Not far from them Cassidy and Devin had pulled out their Morphers if either had been looking hard enough they would have seen each other.
"SHIFT IN TO TURBO" called Devin and Cassidy at the same time.
"WIND CHASER TURBO POWER" called Cassidy.
"RED LIGHTNING TURBO POWER" called Devin.
Ethan was sent flying in the air and landed on his backpack but it didn't break most of his fall. The Termitron laughed at Ethan and approached him in a threatening manor.
"Hey! Back off." Kira said.
"Leave him alone and fight us" Justin said from behind the monster
Then they were joined by the Red and Pink Turbo Ranger.
"You heard them face us or are you afraid to fight us?" asked Devin.
Zeltrax stepped in front of the monster. "Ah one of my targets now I will destroy you in revenge for what you did to my life"
"Zeltrax I have know idea what you're going on about"
Meanwhile Cassidy had reached Ethan. "Are you okay?" She asked while Kira and Devin fought the Monster and Justin distracted Zeltrax. "Little boy, why don't you step aside?"
"Little boy?" Ethan asked not liking the term.
"Go you can't use that thing with people watching" She whispered to him.
"Right." He said realizing her attitude was to try and make it seam he was to get away so he didn't get hurt and so that he could Morph.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Meanwhile Derrick, Conner, Kylee and Selena were watching the fight through a window and saw Ethan run off. "Check out you loser friend, I'm so gonna kick his ass after school"
"I'm gonna go take a look." Conner said and took a step forward but Derrick stopped him then they heard Dr Cranston say
"Stay back, we don't want any of you to get hurt"
Justin avoided a Zeltrax attack and then activated the saber mode on the Dragon Dagger and blocked everyone of Zeltrax's attempted attacks, while now Kira, Cassidy and Devin were fighting the monster but it was managing to hold it's own quiet well until it was suddenly hit with a Blue flash and their was Ethan in his suit with his shield in hand but using it as an offensive weapon instead of a defensive.
The monster looked at the four Rangers and tried to attack them all this time taking them down.
"This guy is seriously starting to bug me" said Ethan.
Justin was fighting Zeltrax, and was now starting to gain the upper hand and eventually unarmed him, but before Justin could defeat him he was hit by a blast of Purple lightning causing him to hit the ground and their behind him stood Elsa.
The other four Rangers all had their Blasters out and blasted the monster with as much power as they could, hitting the monster causing him to back off from the impact of the blast.
Kira notices that Justin is down and that Elsa and Zeltrax were standing over him both with their swords pointed at him.
"Thundermax Saber" called Kira as her saber appeared in her hands and she ran to attack Elsa so she could even the odds.
"I want you to give a message to the Black Ranger." Zeltrax informed Kira and Justin.
"You ever heard of e-mail?" asked Justin.
"Or a letter in the post?" asked Kira.
"Tell him the end is coming and that you and he will both understand why I hate you" said Zeltrax.
"Oh and tell your Pink Turbo friend over there Green Ranger she will never be as good as me" said Elsa, as they and the Monster vanished in an invisiportal.
"Thank god for that" said Justin, as the three Dino Rangers left and went to demorph then headed to class. They hadn't seen that the two Turbo Rangers had already vanished and demorphed, found their camera and headed towards their class.

"Miss Cornell, and Mr Devine I trust you have a good reason for being late?" asked Dr Cranston.
"We were filming the Rangers fighting that monster and the other two things, for our news broadcaster" said Cassidy.
"Well even so you are both in Detention" said Dr Cranston.
Cassidy and Devin sat down as the door opened again and in came Justin, Ethan and Kira.
"Mr Stewart, Mr James and Miss Ford do you have a good reason for being late?" asked Dr Cranston.
"We were waiting for the monster to disappear before we came to class we didn't want to get caught up in the fight" said Justin.
"But Mr James you were involved in the fight?"
"Yes sir"
"You should have run those creatures can be dangerous"
"How do you know that Dr. Cranston?" asked Cassidy.
"I grew up in Angel Grove were their was three years of attacks from creatures like that"
"Oh that makes even more people from Angel Grove in this town" said Cassidy.
"THAT'S IT" called Devin a little loudly.
"Mr. Devine you had better have a good reason for shouting in the middle of a class that you were late for?" asked Dr Cranston.
"Sorry Dr. Cranston I just worked out the one question that's been bothering me on your homework" Devin lied since he, Cassidy, Justin and Kira had found the homework easy since it was to do with the Dinosaurs they saw at the museum.
"Just try not to let it happen again"
"Yes sir I'm sorry"
"Anyway back to business Mr. Stewart you and Miss Ford will join Miss Cornell and Mr Devine in detention after school"
"Yes Dr. Cranston" said Justin.
"Oh and Mr James I know you thought you were doing the smart thing by trying to defend others but you will be in detention as well it is forbidden to fight on school grounds during school time"
"Yes Dr. Cranston" replied Ethan, as he headed to his table but before he reached it he tripped over something and when he looked round he saw Derrick smirking at him. "Oops My bad." Ethan shook his head and got up and walked to his seat.
"Derrick. Why don't you join us in detention today?"
Derrick looked back over at Ethan and mouthed, "After school"
The bell rang and they exited science class. "So, you going to tell Dr. O about what Zeltrax said, right?"
"Yeah, okay, but what about you Ethan?" Conner asked.
"What about me?"
"The fight" Conner said obviously.
"The whole school knows about it." Kira replied.
Cassidy and Devin walked by them talking quietly then they heard Cassidy say "Are you sure?"
"I'm positive Cass the letters all match" said Devin, as he pulled Cassidy down the hall.
"But it can't be he'd" then Cassidy's voice was too far for them to hear.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Cassidy and Devin were heading to the one room they new would be empty the video room since they were the only students allowed in their to perform their news shows for the school.
"But he can't be he'd have to have been a Ranger when he was 12ish" said Cassidy.
"Yeah I know that but the name fits and if you think about it he knows Cassie, TJ and Ashley, plus why would Cassie and TJ try to adopt a stranger?"
"So your telling me Justin Stewart is the Blue Turbo Ranger and the person Ashley tried to send us to before she got abducted?"
"Yeah I know it sounds stupid but please believe me Cassidy I'm sure it's him"
"Look TJ, Cassie and Ashley all wear their old Ranger colour"
"Yeah so what?"
"Justin wears Green?"
"Not all the time remember when we found that meteor he suddenly changed to blue for about a day and he drives about in that blue jeep?"
"You want to say the jeep then lets get your car and see if it reacts to Lightning cruiser as TJ called it but for now let's get back to class we can't afford to be kept back again tonight."
"Hey Cassidy you know what you were saying about them wearing their colour?"
"Yeah what of it?"
"Well Conner wears a lot of Red, Ethan, Blue, Kira and Kylee Yellow, Selena Purple, Justin Green and Dr. Oliver wore Black?"
"Come on their the Dino Rangers and the odd Turbo Ranger"
"Hey don't mock me they could be" said Devin.
"I suppose you're going to say sine Dr. Cranston wears Blue under his lab coat he was a former Blue Ranger and that Miss Hart is a former Pink?" laughed Cassidy not realising yet that she had just identified the Rangers.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
After school had got out Conner, Selena and Kylee were up at Dr Oliver's telling him about the fight with Zeltrax, Elsa and the new monster.
Tommy ran a scan of Reefside to try and find them and finally found them, "Got them" Tommy said.
"Where are they?" asked Conner.
"They're at an abandoned warehouse near the docks"
"Well let's go" said Conner.
"Wait a minute lets just make sure we go in their expecting everything" said Tommy as he contacted Jason and said "it's time"
"Right I'll be right over" said Jason.
Once he arrived their he watched as Tommy activated his Morpher and he did the same.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME" called Jason and Kim.
"TYRANNOSAURUS" called Jason.
"PINK RANGER POWER" called Kim.
"SHIFT IN TO TURBO DUNE STAR TURBO POWER" called Kylee.
"DINO THUNDER POWER UP TYRANNO" called Conner.
"DRAGON THUNDER DINO POWER" called Selena.
The Rangers headed towards the warehouse where they found Termitron waiting for them, and with him were Zeltrax, Elsa, Trent and Andrea.
"You have no chance in hell of defeating us" said Trent.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Meanwhile at Reefside High the 6 teens in Billy's detention were watching the clock hoping it would move faster and get to four. It was fifteen seconds from being four and they were anxious.
"Ok you may go home." Dr Cranston said as it became four.
"That was fun." Kira said sarcastically, while Justin smiled at her knowing what she meant
The four rangers were just about to head out the door when Ethan's bracelet and Justin's communicator went of followed by Cassidy's phone, Derrick looked confused at the simultaneous noises.
Cassidy and Devin left the class room and she answered her phone.
"Hey Cassidy we saw what you did at school but you might want to get down to docks the other Rangers are in trouble" said TJ.
"Ok we're on our way?" said Cassidy.
"Red lightning will pick you up from the school in 15 seconds so Morph and get in it"
"Ok bye TJ"
"We might have to reschedule." Ethan said to Derrick looking at his communicator.
"I knew you'd try to weasel out of this."
"Believe me I want this over as much as you, but something just came up." Ethan said.
"He's not lying. It's important." Kira said backing Ethan up as did Justin.
"As soon as I'm done I'll be back. I'll meet you on the soccer field." Ethan said standing up.
"One hour. And if you're not back, I'm coming to look for you." Derrick told him.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Meanwhile at the warehouse the Rangers were tying to fight the monster and the others but they were being held back by the two evil Rangers and they knew that only Justin, Kira or Kylee stood any chance against them and one against the both of them was no good.
Conner jumped up and kicked Termitron sending him through the air but he landed on his feet and turned to the five Rangers.
"You are no match for us." He said as he stood up and sent little termite flies at them. They tried to avoid them but it was no good they couldn't avoid them.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Meanwhile at Reefside High Cassidy and Devin had Morphed and found Lightning Cruiser communicating with Storm Blaster.
"I told you" said Devin.
"You have to find away to catch them at it to prove it though, at the moment your half way to me believing you" said Cassidy, that's when the School door opened and out walked Justin, Kira and Ethan obviously in a hurry then they all of a sudden stopped when they saw Lightning Cruiser and the two Turbo Rangers.
"Shit" said Ethan as he pointed out the two other Rangers were blocking their way to Storm Blaster. "How do we get to the warehouse in time?"
"Let's Morph and I'll teleport us to the fight" said Justin as he sent a message to Storm letting it know where they were going. "Right now I think its time we Morph" Added Justin.
"DINO THUNDER POWER UP PTERA" called Kira.
"TRICERA" called Ethan.
"GREEN RANGER DINO POWER" called Justin.
They walked out the door and stood together and teleported away just as the two Turbo Rangers spotted them, then Storm started up on its own and drove off Lightning Cruiser opened its door and Devin and Cassidy got in and followed it.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
When the five other Rangers arrived Conner told Ethan and Kira to pull out their weapons and create the Z-Rex Blaster. They connected their weapons and formed the Blaster "Z-Rex Blaster aim and fire." The Rangers said as the blast hit the monster straight on and it burst into pieces.
"Good work." Tommy told them while blocking a Zeltrax attack. Elsa was defending against Kim and Cassidy working together while Jason, Devin, Kylee and Justin fought the evil White and Crimson Rangers.
While this was going on Mesogog made the monster grow
"Dino Ranger's take him out while the Turbo's and us will hold off these four" Tommy said.
The 5 Dino Rangers called their Zords and then activated their Megazords and quickly defeated the Monster
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
After the fight the Rangers left and the Dino Rangers and the Turbo's made their way back to school for the fight.
"Are you really sure you want to do this?" Conner asked Ethan.
"Will you just trust me, for once?" Ethan said to Conner as he looked at Selena and he kissed her on the cheek and said "I know what I'm doing, there is more than one way to deal with this"
Cassidy and Devon were standing beside Kylee, Justin and Kira.
Derrick pushed his way through the crowd. "Outta my way, McKnight. This is between me and geek boy."
Conner looked at Derrick than Ethan before he and Selena moved back to where Kylee, Kira, Justin, Cassidy and Devin stood.
"Okay, here's the deal. I could fight you but what would that prove?" Ethan asked. "Instead, I'd like to make a proposition."
"You're bailing?" Derrick scoffed.
"I think I can improve your game. If I do then you back off me and my friends." Ethan offered.
"Ok, this I got to see?" said Derrick
"Justin my Laptop please." Ethan asked as Justin walked over and handed him his laptop. "This is a computer image of you kicking. I superimposed a pro player from Manchester united over it." He said showing him an image of his kicking vs. that of a pro.
"How did you do that?" Derrick asked.
"I'm a computer geek, remember?" He reminded the Jock.
"Yeah." Derrick nodded.
Ethan pointed to his computer. "See, this is where you're sucking it's just that one little hitch in your kick."
Derrick thought about it as he stared at the screen before calling one of the goalies to set up. Ethan placed a soccer ball on the ground ten feet away from Derrick and took two steps back. Derrick ran before kicking the ball in the way it showed on Ethan's computer. Ethan smiled knowing his calculations were right.
Derrick and the other students watched as the ball soared at the net and the goalie missed it. The students cheered at Derrick finally managing to score a goal.
"I can't believe that worked." Derrick said to Ethan.
"I told ya." Ethan said.
"Where you'd learn to do that?" Derrick asked him.
"The net" Ethan said before clarifying. "Well, the internet that is."
"That's cool." Derrick said. "And I'm sorry about before. I thought a guy like you wouldn't want to talk to a guy like me. I guess I was wrong."
"It's a brave new world out their." Ethan told him as the other Rangers walked up to them and they high fived Ethan.
"So Derrick are you and Ethan cool now?" asked Conner.
"Yeah we are" said Derrick as he high fived Ethan and the then every one dispersed and left.
