A/N: Please read the Author's Note at the end and send me your answer to the question. Enjoy the final chapter of Day of the Dino!
Previously on Power Rangers: Dino Thunder Remixed
"Now what do we do?" Conner asked.
"I knew we shouldn't have left them." Kira said sad.
"It's not like they're gonna fall out of the sky and land right in front of us." Ethan said with a hopeful tone and looked up as if to see that his magic trick worked.
Kira turned and looked at him. "Were you knocked on the head or something?"
"What? Last time I did that, it worked." He reminded her.
Just then an invisaportal opened and out came Trent and Anton.
Conner eyes went wide as they appeared and he grinned.
Haley smiled as she saw them.
"See!" Ethan stated proud of himself.
"You guys are alright." Kira exclaimed as they ran up to the two.
"What about Mesogog?" Tommy asked the two.
"I don't think he made it." Trent answered. Before opening the box, with their gems inside. "But just in case..."
"Tommy...I don't know where to start." Anton started, needing to apologize for everything.
"We'll talk later. Right now we better get back to the lab." Tommy stopped him. "We still have Zeltrax to deal with."

Command Center/Lair
"You will help me bring Dr. Oliver's demise and I get to watch as something he loves is taken away from him."
Zeltrax swung his arm and sent Elsa towards one of the columns, which she hit and fell to the ground.
"No!" Kim cried and tried to run to her but Zeltrax grabbed her arm and pulled her with him.
"You're coming with me." Zeltrax told Kim as he dragged her out of the lab.
Thunder Struck Part 2:
The group came down from the entrance in Tommy's house.
"What happened?" Kira asked as the others followed behind her.
"It's trashed." Ethan commented as everyone took in the destruction around them.
"Elsa...Kim." Tommy looked around but didn't see either woman.
Something beeped. Conner looked down and pulled a box that was taped to it. "What's this?"
"It's like a black box. I keep a security camera in it." Haley grabbed it and hooked it up to one of the fallen small computers.
The video was static-y at first before showing the video.
"Zeltrax." Ethan announced as they watch him pull Kim out of the lab.'
"This is all my fault. I should've stopped him." Anton felt horrible.
"Don't blame yourself for what you did when you were him." Trent told his dad.
"Trent is right, Anton. This is about me and Smitty. It had nothing to do with you." Tommy said, trying to take away some of his blame.
"But if there was no Mesogog-"Anton started.
"We can't go back and change what happened. Mesogog is gone. We should be thankful for that."
"So what now? I guess we don't hang up our morphers just yet."
"No." Tommy shook his head.
"Wait a minute, if Zeltrax has Kim, where's Elsa?" Kira asked, reminding them that someone wasn't accounted for.
A groan echoed through the room. There heads whipped around and the guys ran to the corner and pulled a few concrete walls away and saw Elsa lying on the floor. Trent and Conner pulled her up slowly to make sure she didn't hurt herself and carried her over to the others.
Elsa coughed and took deep breaths to pull air into her lungs.
"Elsa, are you okay?" Tommy asked her.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Where's Kim?" She asked.
"What do you remember?" Justin asked since the video only showed Zeltrax pulling Kim out of the lab.
"Zeltrax destroyed the place. He walked over to where we stood and Kim stood in front of me. She realized she couldn't morph. He called her helpless." Elsa said and then looked at Tommy. "Then Zeltrax said that she was going to help him bring your demise and that he'd watch something you loved was taken away from you."
Tommy eyes flashed in anger as he tried to keep it under control.
"Dr. O., your eyes just flashed green." Ethan stammered out.
"Are you okay?" Conner asked their mentor.
"This is personal now. You guys should go back to what you were doing before. Until Zeltrax appears again, there's nothing we can do. Anton can you take Elsa to the hospital to get looked over?" Tommy said before heading back upstairs.
"Okay, anyone want to fill us in on the how and why his eyes flashed green that way?" Conner asked Haley and Justin.
Justin replied. "When Tommy became the green ranger, he started off evil. But once the spell was broken, he switched sides."
"We know that part." Kira said.
"The part you don't know is that even though the spell he was under was broken some green residue was still in his system. As to why his eyes flashed green, his anger towards Zeltrax intensified tenfold as well as his love for Kim that activated his protective instincts. Tommy has always been protective over Kim, since day one. And vice versa but I believe the reason his eyes flashed green was because of his time back when he was the evil green ranger. When Tommy is really angry, and I mean like furious times pissed, his eyes flash green. That usually only happens when Kim's in trouble." Justin explained the best way he could.
"Wow, he really loves her that much?" Kira asked, not that she ever doubted but it was still awe inspiring to see.
"I couldn't name you one ranger couple that didn't love each other just as fiercely. Tommy and Kim aren't just a legacy in Power Ranger history but there also each other's first loves. And first loves are the best kind of love. It's funny how many people chosen to be rangers find their first love while being a ranger." Justin announced. "He's right though, there's nothing we can do right now so when Zeltrax shows back up we'll call you."
They nodded before they walked out almost in a daze.
Kira rode with Trent and Anton for a ride home before they took Elsa to the hospital and basically to avoid talking with Conner. She still needed to figure things out.
Conner really wanted to talk to Kira but couldn't since she hightailed it out of the lab. He sighed dejected. He didn't want them to end like this.
Ethan ran back out to his movie date.

Steel Plant
"Zeltrax, Smitty, please. Mesogog is gone!" She tried to reason with him. "I can talk to Tommy."
"Talk? I'm through with talk. With my new Zelzord, you'll see that action speaks louder than words." He informed her as he new zord could be seen from where they were standing.
"Haven't you learned that revenge is never the answer." Kim asked him. After everything, he has been through she figured he would have thought of that.
"After my banishment, I had plenty of time to think about it as I constructed the ultimate fighting machine." He said.
She grabbed his shoulders. "You can't defeat the Power Rangers." She yelled at him. "You saw what our new weapon did to Mesogog's lab. What is destroying Tommy going to prove?"
He pushed her arms off him. "I have something Mesogog didn't." He yanked her to his side. "An innocent bystander." He laughed evilly.
"I'm far from innocent." Kim retorted. She was trying to show a brave face, she wasn't that scared of him but without her gem to help her morph she had to pray that Tommy would come for her soon.

Haley's Cybercafé
Cassidy walked into the café, her hair a mess and tangled, her clothes disheveled and not immaculate as she usually wears them.
"Okay, I'm here. What do you want?" She asked as she took the seat across from him.
"Hey." Devon said as he held a video in his hands. He laughed at her appearance.
"What? You'd have a bad hair day, too, if you'd been pulling it out all day, thinking of the stupid Power Rangers." Cassidy crossed her arms across her chest.
"Well, worry no more. You're not going to lose another lock of hair after you see...this." He gestured to the video tape in his hands. "But first, we gotta talk. I got something kinda serious that I want to ask you."
She looked perplexed but also intrigued.

Movie Theatre
Ethan came running back through the line so he could
"Thanks for saving my place." Ethan said to her.
The guy who complained earlier about saving spots stared hard at Ethan before his look drop and he looked back at the girl before moving and letting Ethan get back into his spot.
She smiled at him but then it turn to a frown. "Check that out."
Ethan turned and his smile dropped and disbelief appeared on his face as a green energy portal opened and out came Zeltrax's Zelzord.
Everyone started screaming and running to get as far away from it as possible.
"Come and face me Power Rangers." He said as he sent a laser forward and hit one of the mountains that overlooked the city and it exploded at the center of the mountain.
Ethan found a place under the stairs and contacted Tommy. "Dr. O., I found Zeltrax, and I don't think he's here for the double feature."
"Ranger up. We'll meet you there." Tommy replied.
"Got it." Ethan let his gem change into his morpher. "Dino Thunder, Power up! Ha!"
Ethan ran up to where his zord was. "Check out his zord." He said before seeing Justin, Tommy, Kira, Trent and Conner ran up to where he stood looking up at the zord. "Whoa!"
"Power Rangers, surrender...or my most precious cargo will be destroyed." He informed them. As he looked at Kim, tied to one of the columns by vine trees.
"I bet he's got Kim in there." Conner said.
"Correct. I wanted her to see your demise." He explained. "Triptoids." He commanded.
Triptoids suddenly appeared in front of them.
They each pulled out there weapons and jumped into the fray of Triptoids. They cut across the Triptoids and sparks flew off them.
"Now it gets interesting." Zeltrax commented as he sent three different blast of lasers around the Rangers, causing them to be thrown from the black. Trent and Tommy landed on their back. While Conner, Kira, Ethan and Justin landed face down.
Everyone groaned and panted as they tried to catch their breaths.
"This is gone on far enough!" Tommy stood up quickly. "Trent, Justin, can you handle the Triptoids?"
"Not a problem." Trent answered.
"You got it!" Justin replied.
Trent and Justin ran into group of Triptoids and Trent swung his sword across two Triptoids at ran him while Justin used his Thundermax Saber.
"You guys call the zords." Tommy instructed the others. "I'm gonna get Kim." Tommy ran towars the Zelzord.
"You got it." Conner said. "Dino Zords."
The zords transformed into the Megazord and it walked up to Zelzord and grabbed it. Tommy used that opportunity and jumped and grabbed onto one of the holes and crawled in.
"I'm in." He told the others.
"We got your back." Conner replied.
Tommy stood up as fog and mist covered the ground around him. "Kim!"
"Tommy, I'm in here!" Kim yelled back.
"Hang on." Tommy ran down the hall and turned.
"Tommy." Kim yelled.
"Hold on." He yelled back but was stopped by a small group of Triptoids.
He charged forward and swiped his sword across a few.
Zelzord created a powerful green electrical current around the Megazord causing them to stumble back away from him.
"I'm going to help Dr. O." Kira told Conner before jumping out and grabbing onto on the of the holes.
"Kira!" Conner tried to stop her but she was gone before he could say anything.
Kira crawled through the hole and looked around. "Dr. O?" Kira called.
Zelzord wrapped a string of green energy around the Megazord like a lasso. Zeltrax lifted his hands up which in turn caused the Megazord to be lifted into the air before slamming his hands down and dropping the Megazord too.
"Ethan! Can you handle the Mesodon?" Conner asked him.
"Thought you'd never ask." Ethan said as the Mesodon Rover pulled up. Ethan jumped from the Megazord and into the Mesodon Rover and placed the Shield of Triumph into the center console. "Mesodon Megazord!"
Zeltrax wasn't all that worried by the new Megazord. "Huh?" He asked himself as Tommy rolled into the room and was battling off the Triptoids.
He brought his sword down on one of the Triptoids weapons and looked up. "Kim!"
"Tommy." Kim smiled, she knew he'd come for her. He always did.
"I'll be right there." He said before swinging his sword back and cutting across the Triptoids chest.
"No, he won't!" Zeltrax fired his own laser at Tommy but Kira jumped in front of him and used her sword to block the lasers from hitting him.
Zelzord sent another electrical currents but this time at both Megazords.
Zeltrax used his own sword and cut across Tommy first and then turned to Kira and their swords clinked against one another before he swiped it across her middle having her fall in a front flip. Tommy pushed Zeltrax into one of the walls and stepped forward to attack when Zeltrax brought his sword back and it sliced across Tommy diagonally sending him flying back.
"Dr. O." Kira exclaimed as she ran up to him.
"Tommy!" Kim said, she felt herself getting mad as she watched Zeltrax hurt Tommy. And she really wished she was out of her bonds. When she blinked, her jaw dropped open as she stared at herself.
"Maximum Power!" Zeltrax transformed into his alter ego. "You and me, Tommy."
"Kira, get Kim!" Tommy commanded as he ran at Zeltrax.
Kira turned and she jumped back in shock at seeing two Kim's.
"Kira, untie me first, surprise second." The Kim who was tied up said.
Kira nodded and pulled out her blaster and fired at the vines. When she was released Kim fell into Kira's arm as she caught her.
"Damn, those restraints were no joke." Kim said.
"I guess you found your dino gem power." Kira replied.
"Yeah, just a little too late to the party." Kim countered.
Zeltrx pushed Tommy into one of the walls and Tommy pushed back against him with his sword and rolled away before standing. He brought his sword up but Zeltrax used his exposed front to strike. He cut across Tommy and turned to do it again.
"Hey, freak!" Kira called to Zeltrax.
Zeltrax turned to look at her and was going to fire but Kira was too fast for him and used her Thundermax Blaster and fired hitting him in the face, which distracted him.
"Guys, I've got her. We're coming out." Kira said into her morpher.
"Go, Kira!" Ethan gave her the all clear.
Tommy ran over to them as Kira helped Kim stand, and her doppelganger disappeared when he came over. "Let's go."
"You're not going anywhere!" Zeltrax stated and a black and purple mist flowed out of him and out of the Zelzord until it affected the sky and area.
"What's going on?" Ethan asked the others.
"No idea!" Conner replied perplexed by what just happened.
Zelzord fired out a string of green currents powerful enough that the Megazord shifted and rumbled along with from the hit.
"We've gotta get them out of there now!" Ethan stated and decided to act.
He used the Mesodon Megazord and walked up to the Zelzord and used his axes to block the intended green current shots and swiped box axes across the front of the Zelzord and when he tumbled forward a little, Ethan used the Mesodon to grabbed onto Zelzord's arms and holding him in place.
"Hold on! Ethan, I've got an idea." Conner said and walked towards Zelzord.
Zeltrax ran at the group of three but in the middle the Megazord drill arm empacted through Zelzord causing a big gaping hole and causing Zeltrax to fall on his butt from the surprise attack.
"What?" Kira said in shock at the giant hole in front of her.
"The guys!" Tommy cheered at their quick thinking.
"Let's go." Kira grabbed Kim and they jumped out of the Zelzord and back onto the ground.
Trent and Justin has both just finished slicing and dicing through their group of Triptoids and turned to see Kira standing with Kim.
"You made it." Trent said as he and Justin ran over to the girls.
Zeltrax was even more mad now that his plan wasn't going the way he wanted. He ran at Tommy and Tommy jumped up and landed on the top of Zeltrax's sword before jumping up and kicking his legs out to get him to move back. Zeltrax sent a blast at Tommy but he did a back flip to avoid it. Zeltrax came up to him and their swords clinked and Tommy used his knee to block one of Zeltrax's kicks.
"Smitty! Stop!" Tommy tried to reason with him amidst their fight.
"Smitty's gone." Zeltrax replied.
Zeltrax has Tommy going back and back while they dueled their swords against one another that Tommy climbed up the wall before doing a corkscrew kick away. He turned and faced Zeltrax. They ran at each other but where Zeltrax went high, Tommy fell to his knees and slide and cut his sword across Zeltrax's lower body hard. Zeltrax ended up front flipping from the hit as sparks flew off him.
"Gotta get out of here." Tommy said to himself. He jumped down from Zelzord and landed on the ground in front of Kira, Justin, Kim and Trent.
"All right!" Justin cheered at Tommy.
"You okay?" He asked Kim.
Before she could reply, Zeltrax also jumped down from his zord. Kim gasped in shock. Tommy jumped in front of the group.
"You didn't think I'd let you go that easy, did you?" Zeltrax asked Tommy.
"Kim, come with me." Trent said grabbing Kim's hand.
Kim was very tempted to argue but without a her gem, she really didn't have a choice as they ran for cover.
"You're going down, Tommy!" Zeltrax stated.
"You with me, Kira?" Tommy asked. "Justin?"
"Oh yeah." They said simultaneously.
They ran at Zeltrax.
Zelzord used its energy from the power source in the jewel in his middle section and fired at the Megazord.
Zeltrax rolled out of the way and stood.
Tommy used a great amount of energy, as he did a front flip and brought his sword down, Kira jumped up and used her Ptera Grips and Justin used his Cephalo cannon and hit Zeltrax all at once. It was too much for him. He stumbled back before falling to his knees and completely exploding in front of him.
Zelzord fired again and hit both Megazords. It was getting harder and harder for them to fight the Zelzord.
"Conner, you're gonna need all the zords." Tommy informed him.
"Right." Conner agreed.
Tommy called his Brachio zord.
"Dino zords, full power!" Conner commanded harnessing all the power and energy from all the zords as a unit and fired.
Sparks flew as the Zelzord fell back and exploded.
"We did it, yeah!" Conner cheered.
But his celebration was short lived as the Zelzord took all that energy that was thrust on him and used it to come back to life.
"No way!"
"Again!" Ethan asked dumbstruck by the turn of events.
Zelzord started pulling everything towards him like a vacuum. "You got to sacrifice the zords." Tommy instructed.
"We can't." Conner said as he struggled to keep his control over the Megazord to keep it still.
"No, Dr. Oliver!" Ethan yelled as if pained by the idea.
"You've got to! It's the only way." Tommy replied.
"All right." Conner finally conceded. He walked the Megazord towards the Zelzord.
"Engage auto-destruct!" Conner told Ehtan.
"I'm trying." he struggled to keep control over the Mesodon.
"Goodbye, old friends." Conner said goodbye to his zord.
"Get out of there." Tommy said to himself as the rest of the group stood on the ground watching.
They watched as both Megazords surround and grab onto the Zelzord. All three zords meshed together before falling over and exploding.
"Guys!" Tommy yelled.
"No!" Justin cried.
Kim gasped and her hands flew to her mouth as she stared in shock at what she just witnessed.
"No!" Trent yelled.
"Conner!" Kira cried.
The sky returned to its baby blue and the sun shined through it. They all demorphed and ran over to the wreckage.
"Where are they?" Kira asked. She looked really hard through the smoke and mist. "Ethan? Conner!" She yelled before running over to the two guys as they made their way towards them.
"That was impressive." Kira told Ethan as they did their handshake and looked over at Conner.
Conner stared intently at Kira.
"But the zords-They're destroyed." Ethan said still a little in shock about that.
"It was the only way. You guys did what you had to do." Tommy reminded them.
"It's true. Nothing else would've stopped him." Trent added.
"Not to change this sullen mood but I'm still in need of a gem. Anybody got one?" Kim asked.
Tommy smiled a little at her before reaching into his pocket and placing it into her hands. Kim grinned happy to have the gem back on her wrist where it belonged.
"So that's it then? It can't just be over." Conner said feeling as if that wasn't the way it should end.
"Of course it's not over." Mesogog's voice said behind them.
"You had to say it, didn't you?" Justin asked Conner.
They all turned as if in slow motion. They couldn't believe he was still alive.
"Why do they always come back for more?" Tommy asked no one in particular.
"They need to just crawl back into their holes and stay there." Kim said.
"You destroyed my plans of creating a perfect world. However...I was able to absorb enough dino gem energy to complete my transfirguration." They all stared at him, ready to fight him when ready. "Witness the face of...your final battle."
They watched as he transformed in front of them, two giant bones sharp and pointy sprouted out of his shoulders. His neck lengthened. His back became rounder, as his feet became larger and his talons on his feet were longer. His mouth widened.
"I didn't even think he could get any uglier and yet he did." Kim said in a grimace.
Everyone's expressions varied from gross to disgust and just plain frustrated that he was still alive.
"Kim, are you up for this?" Tommy asked Kim.
Kim nodded. "Absolutely!"
What they didn't know was just behind fallen tunnels, Cassidy and Devon stood watching and in Devon's case, recording the entire thing.
"You guys ready for one more battle?" Tommy asked the group and then looked at Conner
"Oh yeah!" Conner answered with a nod with a smirk upon his lips. "Ready!" He pulled up his morpher.
"Ready!" Ethan said.
"Ready!" Kira replied.
"Ready!" Trent said.
"Ready!" Tommy finished.
"Ready!" Kim answered in excitement.
"Ready!" Justin said.
"Dino Thunder, Power Up! Ha!"
"White Ranger, Dino Power!"
"Pink Ranger Power!"
"Tyranno Power!" Conner pulled out his Staff.
"Tricera Power!" Ethan pulled out his Shield.
"Ptera Power!" Kira pulled out her Grips and posed.
"Cephalo Power!" Justin pulled out his Cannon Gun.
"Dimetro Power!" Kim posed as she pulled out her Bow.
"Brachio Power!" Tommy grabbed his sword.
"Drago Power!" Trent pulled out his dagger sword.
They all were transformed into Super Dino Mode.
"Dino Power!" They all yelled in unison.
"This is it!" Conner announced and then they all ran at Mesogog.
Mesogog fired at them as they ran towards him. They kept running not letting it deter them. Conner, Kira and Ethan jumped up first and took on either side of Mesogog. Kira used her grips to hit Mesogog but he blocked it and turned hitting Ethan dead center sending sparks flying off his suit as he landed on his back.
Tommy and Trent jumped up next and Mesogog blocked and ducked as he moved back to miss their punches and kicks. Kim did an aerial in to the middle of both boys and Justin came up to join the fight and all brought their weapons down on some part of Mesogog they could reach. Mesogog who has his arm crossed in front of him as he hunched over by their attack wasn't fazed. He brought his body up and his arms out sending all the rangers spinning away from him. They landed away from each other on their backs in pain.
Conner ran up behind him and jumped on his back. "I've got him!" He exclaimed as he held on before back flipping off and landed in a kneel behind him.
Mesogog turned to look at him before he ducked under Trent's elongated talons and sidestepped as Tommy tried to kick him, letting him past behind him. Justin anad Ethan came up on either side of Mesogog and tried to kick him but he blocked both their attempts. Trent, Ethan and Justin slide towards Mesogog and then jumped up in a corkscrew kick that had him stepping back to avoid. Justin and Trent stuck their arms out to hit him with the back of their arms but he grabbed them each by the arm and pushed them away towards where Ethan stood. He then fired at them which they tried to jump to avoid but instead it hit them anyway. They all fell to the ground hard.
Mesogog pushed Tommy into on the abandoned cars. Tommy pushed back but before he had a chance to defend himself Mesogog used a powerful blast from his chest and hit Tommy dead on. Tommy froze at the hit before falling forward.
Mesogog laughed evilly as he watched Tommy fall.
"Dr. O.!" Kira yelled.
"Tommy!" Kim cried as she watched as the blast hit him.
Mesogog turned towards them.
"Back off!" Kira commanded him.
He took the same car that he just pushed Tommy against, he pushed it towards them at full speed. Kira jumped with Kim right after onto the car and then off as Kira used her ptera power to fly towards Mesogog. He fired at her and though she tried not to get hit at first in the end it caused her to lose he focus and she ended up doing a front flip in the air before landing on her back in a pile of rubble on the ground. Kim shot her arrows at Mesogog but they didn't seem to be having much affect on him. She did a roundhouse kick but he grabbed her leg and when she tried to get out of it he lifted her up and then threw her into one of the abandoned cars. She hit it and landed face forward on the ground.
Conner ran up. "My turn!"
Mesogog opened his mouth and his tongue extended and went towards Conner. Conner did a cartwheel onto the hood of a car behind him and then another cartwheel to the ceiling of the car but the tongue wrapped around him before throwing him off the car and into a pile of rubble.
"Hovercraft Cycle!" Ethan exclaimed as he rode towards Mesogog. He fired at Mesogog hitting him and then jumped passed him. "Whoo-ha!" He cheered as he landed and then turned the cycle around to face him. He then rode it towards him again and had to jump with his cycle as Mesogog fired at him.
"Devon, over there!" Cassidy told Devon as he shifted his camera over to the new scene.
"Over here, Meso-mess!" Conner taunted Mesogog.
He turned to look at Conner.
"Triassic Ranger!" He called the power to himself. "Battlyzed Mode! Engage! Super Fire Power!" He transformed his normal Triassic suit into his battalyzed one. "Cannons, Battle Blast!" He cannons shot up from the back of his suit and then he fired down at Mesogog.
Mesogog was hit as the blast surrounded him before he was sent flying back as sparks and current flowed throughout his body before he landed in his very own pile of rubble.
The group stumbled and walked over to Conner. "You did it, Conner!" Kira praised.
"Yeah, thanks." he said looking at her.
A barrel fell to the ground and they all turned.
"Huh?"
With a powerful blast the rubble exploded from on top of him as he stood with not a scratch on him. Mesogog stood laughing as evil as ever.
"Unbelievable." Tommy said.
Mesogog shimmered and suddenly there was another Mesogog standing next to him.
"He's replicating." Conner exclaimed.
Both Mesogog replicated again, now four Mesogog's stood in a stand off against them.
"One was bad enough. How do we fight them all?" Ethan asked.
"Guys, we have to use all out powers. It's the only way!" Tommy said, as the finality of what they were about to do hit them.
"Right." Ethan agreed.
"Okay." Conner said.
"Okay." Kira said.
"All right." Justin agreed.
Kim nodded.
"Do it, Conner." Trent given him the lead to end this once and for all.
"Power Rangers!" They all said as they moved their arms around in a half circled and harnessed all their power in the center of their suits.
"I summon the power of the gem!" Conner called.
"Dino Gems, unite!" They all said together before throwing their hands up in the air letting their powers be as one and it created its own dinosaur before they all brought their hands out, sending all their power at Mesogog. The dinosaur opened its mouth and engulfed the four Mesogog's up. The rangers turned as the blast went off behind them.
"Everyone okay?" Tommy asked them after they all where unmorphed. They all walked before stopping in a circle.
"I feel...different." Conner said slowly.
"Yeah, like normal again." Trent said as if putting words to what they all felt.
Everyone held their gem in their hands, studying them. "Me too." Kira agreed.
"It's gone. Our powers are gone." Ethan stated in disbelief.
"It took everything the gem's had to destroy Mesogog." Tommy explained.
"I feel like I did when we lost our powers first time around." Kim said.
"Yeah, it's almost empty." Justin added.
"So these are just..." Conner started as he held his gem in his palm.
"Ancient artifacts. That will look great in a museum. " Tommy finished.
"Hello, rangers." Cassidy said as she and Devon stood away from the group.
They turned not expecting to see Cassidy and Devon standing behind them.
"So you know then." Conner stated, not asking a question.
"Well, I kinda already knew, but I had to show Cassidy in person." Devon said.
"This is, like, the greatest thing ever!" She bubbled with energy as she turned and hugged Devon. He wasn't expecting it but really liked it. She pulled away and looked at them. "And we've got it all on tape. You know, a reporter could make a real career out of this." She said holding the tape in her hands.
They were all shocked by the evidence that had.
"Cassidy, do you realize what our lives will be like if that tape gets out?" Tommy asked her, wanting her to really understand the consequences behind revealing their identity.
"Yeah, I do. That's why I'm giving it to you." Cassidy replied back as she handed him the tape.
"Wait. Cassidy passing up a scoop of a lifetime? Why?" Kira asked not believing what she just saw.
"Because you're my friends. It wouldn't be right to ruin your lives just to make mine better, not after everything you've done for us." Cassidy explained to them in a serious speech.
They all smiled at her reasoning.
"I always knew there was a heart deep down in there somewhere." Ethan told her smiling.
"Yeah, I just needed someone to help me find it." Cassidy smiled back at Devon. "Now if you'll excuse us..."
"Yeah, we're off to the prom." Devon finished for her. And the two walked off in happy bliss.
"Finally. I thought those two were never gonna get together." Kira said.
"And just like that...life goes back to normal." Conner said but his gaze went down to look at Kira. He realized he didn't want his life to get back to normal. Not the way it was before he became a ranger anyways.
"Our lives may be normal, but trust me..." Tommy said.
"It will never be the same." Kim finished his sentence for him.
"Speaking of Kimberly Ann Hart, will you be my date to prom?" Tommy asked her.
Kim's smile beamed at him. "I've been waiting you to ask for 9 years. I'd love to."
The others grinned and smiled at the couple and the moment that were able to be apart of.
They all turned and walked off back to the normal world where they didn't have to fight mutant dinosaurs and right now there biggest worries where Prom!
X~X
Prom at Reefside Mansion
Students piled out of their cars as they hustled into the prom. Devon helped Cassidy out of the limo. She pulled her dress down a little before taking Devon's arm.
"Whoa! This is amazing." She was amazed at the wheel of fire, the clowns, the stilt walkers, carnival acts. They stepped inside doors and took in the balloons, lights and just everything.
"Don't you two look nice." Haley complimented the two as she and Justin walked up to them.
"Thank you so much, Haley. And on behalf of the entire prom committee I want to thank you both for helping out tonight." Cassidy gave her appreciation at the help.
"The new kindler, gentler Cassidy." Devon said as if that explained his date.
"So I hear, and what you did for the Rangers took a lot of courage." Haley commended her.
"Yeah, well, a good reporter knows when to talk and when to keep a secret." She replied.
Haley and Justin smiled at her before she and Devon walked over to grab some punch.
"So, from one chaperone to another, what if I told you that you look gorgeous tonight?" Justin asked her.
"I think that is allowed. Especially when one chaperone to another are actually dating." Haley told him.
"Are we? I know you have a lot of worries about us. I don't want to rush you into anything you're not ready for." Justin informed her.
"I've learned over the last two days that I shouldn't be running from what we have. I care about you so much that I want us to make it work. Even when you go back to MIT." Haley said to him. "This is something that we should be fighting for."
Justin nodded. "I'm glad." he sighed in relief.
They walked off to one of the ends of the foyer to talk and be proper chaperones.
Ethan stood playing his video game in his tux.
"Ethan, my man." Conner's voice carried as he walked up to him. Ethan turned as they shook hands. "You remember Krista?"
"She wasn't on the list." Ethan has a case of word vomit. Krista looked really confused. "Sure, I remember. You're the tree girl."
Krista smiled. "Yeah, I guess you could say that. I'm gonna get a drink. Do you want some?" Krista asked Conner.
"Yeah, that would be great." Conner said.
Krista walked off to the drink table.
"The tree girl? What's up with that?" Ethan asked him mostly because if he didn't come with Kira, he expected some tall legged blonde on his arm.
"Dude, it's what's on the inside that counts." Conner reminded him.
"Out little Conner's growing up." Ethan said.
"Besides, we just came tonight as friends. Kira kept avoiding me and I knew Krista didn't have a date so we decided to come together. I didn't want to miss my Senior Prom." Conner was a little dejected that he couldn't talk to his girlfriend. If she was still his girlfriend. "So, what changed your mind? Had all the mutant freaks you could handle for one year?"
"Actually, I had a chance to rethink the whole prom tradition thing." Ethan evaded answering.
"Here you go." A cute blonde girl in a gold dressed handed Ethan a cup of punch. It happened to be the same girl he met earlier in line for the movie.
"Thank you." Ethan thanked her. She turned and saw Conner standing there.
"Oh, hey, you must be...Conner." She guessed his name. "Ethan's told me all about you."
"I'm sure he has." Conner replied with a smirk.
Ethan tried an innocent look on his face.
She turned to look at Ethan. "Where's your friend Kira? I want to meet her, too."
"I don't know where she is. I haven't seen her." Ethan answered her.
"Maybe she didn't want to come and blew it off. She said she didn't have a date." Conner said, feeling dejected now when just minutes ago he was actually having a good time.
"Hey guys." A voice called from above them.
They looked up.
"Hey Trent." Ethan called back.
Trent looked over the railing at his friends. He stood wearing a white button down shirt collar up, black pants and white vest that was unbuttoned.
"So, Trent, what's next for you?" Tommy asked the former white ranger.
Trent looked over his shoulder and turned. "Actually, I'm really excited. I'm heading to art school in the fall."
"Yeah? You okay with that, Anton?" Tommy asked turning his body slightly to address Trent's father.
"Couldn't be happier. How about you, Tommy?" Anton asked. "What's next for the man who's done it all."
"I was thinking...of staying here teaching, living the quiet life." Tommy replied.
"You sure about that?" A voice said from behind Anton. Elsa stepped out from behind his shoulder and let herself be shown. She looked much better all dressed up. "I hear the new principal's a real hard-nose."
"I think she'll be brilliant." Tommy replied.
Anton sat his drink down and straightened his jacket. "I was wondering if the new principal would save a dance for an old friend."
"I'd be honored." She replied.
They smiled at each other before Anton took her hand and whisked her away to the dance floor.
Trent smiled after him, after nearly a year of watching his father frustrated and stressed he was happy to see him finally enjoy himself.
"I gotta go." Tommy told Trent.
"You outta here?" Trent looked at his watch.
"No. I gotta introduce the band." Tommy said.
"Okay." Trent nodded.
Tommy walked downstairs and shortly after Trent followed and found a spot near Conner and Ethan. Tommy was stopped short near the door as Kim walked in.
She wore a pink dress with a sweethears neckline, that hugged her body around her waist and flowed to the ground. Her hair was pin curled up.
"Wow, beautiful. Whoa!" Was all Tommy could say.
Kim glanced down at her dress and back at him. "Thank you. You look quite amazing in your suit as well. Never thought I'd say this but black is a color that suits you very well, handsome."
"There are no words for how you look tonight, Kim. I'm glad we get this second chance." Tommy told her.
"So am I. Speaking of second chances, that's what I wanted to talk to you about." Kim said.
He nodded but then he remembered. "I have to introduce the band but after we'll talk about it."
She nooded and walked over to Justin and Haley.
Tommy walked onto stage and tapped the mike to get everyone's attention.
"Hey guys. I just want to say 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 she is...Kira Ford!" He announced and stepped back as the curtain pulled and revealed Kira and her band. The crowd went wild as she stepped forwards towards the mike.
Kira dress was fairytale driven, with paisley print and a yellow corset top. Her hair was crinkled.
Kim, Justin and Haley stood behind and around Conner, Ethan, Trent and their dates as they watch Kira appear from behind the curtain.
"Yeah Kira!" Trent yelled.
Kira started strumming her guitar and confetti fell from the sky around them as she started to sing.
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,
You gave me something more than I
ever thought before.
And we could be falling in love.
Oh, baby
Tommy joined the group as they watch Kira perform. Everyone around them started to dance. Kira now scanned through the crowd and her gaze locked on Conner's. Tommy wrapped his arms around Kim's waist, his chin on her shoulder as they moved together listening to her song.
I can picture you and me
more than coming closer.
Just a little more time,
and just a little less thinking.
Just a little more time is all
that I need.
Just a little believing,
Just a little more breathing,
Let's give it time.
Conner tried to figure out what she was telling him in her song. Everyone danced along with her song and reminisced on all their battles, personal and literal, all their accomplishments, what becoming a ranger did to all their lives. How each one person came into the others lives, how they became a team and fought as a team.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
She crooned the last note and hit the last cord on her guitar as they song ended. Everyone clapped showing her praise for a wonderful song.
"Yeah!" Devon pointed at her.
"Yeah!" Trent cheered.
Conner grinned and clapped with everyone else.
Kira performed four more songs before she and the band took a break. Conner was waiting for her at the front of the stage. She walked up to him nervous.
"I'm assuming that song was for me."
"You'd be correct." Kira replied looking down at her feet. "You came with Krista."
"We came as friends, you said no and I wanted to come to my Senior Prom. But as you can see I'm not the one's she's interested in." He gestured towards Krista and Trent dancing.
Kira nodded.
"Kira, I don't want us to break up. I don't want to go back to normal life before I became a Power Ranger, because I've changed a lot this last year."
"Conner, I got waitlisted from UCLA." Kira breathed out. "I never wanted to break up with you."
"Why did you? Why didn't you ever tell me you applied?" Conner was actually hurt that she didn't confided in him with information like that.
"I knew you got a scholarship and if I'm being honest I couldn't bear the thought of us being a part, so I applied. And when I got waitlisted, I started to think that maybe we weren't meant to be. You'd go to UCLA and find some bubbly blonde girl and live happily ever after. I'd try my hand in New York to get discovered and that's be it." Kira confessed everything she had been holding in.
He stared at her as he tried to understand. "So what changed."
"A couple of things. After Justin explained to us about why Dr. O.'s eye changed and just they way he fought for her. Showed me that first loves come once in a lifetime and we don't all get a second chance. I also had a talk with Kim and she helped me realize what I was afraid of all along. Plus, I got a letter yesterday after the whole Mesogog showdown. I got into UCLA!"
Conner grabbed her and lifted her up in excitement. "That's great!"
Kira laughed at his enthusiasm. "If you'll still have me, I want to be your girlfriend, Conner McKnight." Kira stated.
Conner answered with a deep kiss. When they both needed to breath, he pulled away and leaned his forward against hers. "I love you, Kira." It was the first time they ever spoke the words to each other.
Kira gasped but chocked out. "I love you, too, Conner. I'm sorry it took me so long to tell you."
"Better late than never at all." Conner replied.
Kira rolled her eyes but smiled at him. "You're such a Jock."
"And you're still my Rock Star."
Conner pulled Kira onto the dance floor never letting her feet touch the ground.
Kim pulled Tommy onto the outside balcony for some privacy.
"Look, Kim, I know you have your life in Florida and that you coming here to help was only temporary but I want us to make this work. Even if we have to do long-distance." Tommy started.
"I don't think we can do long distance, Tommy." Kim said. "The last time it nearly destroyed us."
"You're right. But I don't want to lose you again." Tommy insisted.
"Back to that news, I've been trying to tell you. I'm going to open up another gymnastic academy here in Reefside." Kim finally was able to tell him.
Tommy eyes widened. "Seriously? But what about Florida?"
"Yes. I looked at a new venue this week after the owners saw my offer they jumped on it. As for Florida, I still have Ptera Gymnastics there where my general manager will take over the day to day things, I'll probably have to go back a week out of the month for meetings and making sure the girls are getting the training they deserve." Kim smiles. "I've decided to expand to the West Coast and what better place for home base then Reefside, now that there aren't any more mutant freaks planning to take over the world."
"Kim, you just made me the happiest man in the world. So, your staying? Like in my house, maybe?"
"You want me to move in with you?" Kim asked in shock.
"Let's face it, you've been living with me for months already, I don't see why you'd have to get an apartment of your own when you already stay with me anyway. Besides, I don't want you to be anywhere else than by my side from now on." Tommy admitted. "I want us to keep getting to know the people we are now." He pulls her into his arms and dips her. They stare into each other's eyes. "What do you say?"
"Yes, a million times. I'd love to move in with you." Kim agreed.
They share a kiss that felt as if things where not ending but of promises that were still to come for them.
They walked hand in hand back into Prom and onto the dance floor, passed Justin and Hayley, Ethan and his date, Trent and Krista and grabbed a spot next to Kira and Conner as they all danced. Life might have gone back to normal but all their lives have changed forever. For the better!
A/N: Well, everyone, that is it. The end of Day of the Dino. I can't believe I've worked on this story for nearly four years and now its done. It's mind boggling actually when I think of it because I love Power Rangers. As any of my friends and they will tell you I'm the biggest PR nerd. But before I sign off officially with this story I have a few questions to ask of you. I was thinking about adding bonus chapters, one for gradution and one with the S.P.D. rangers making a appearance from their episode of Wormhole?
Would you guys want me to add in a couple bonus chapters?
Its been my pleasure and honor to write this story and have all comments, reviews, adds, likes and favorites. I'm glad you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Catch you on the flip side,
