The feeling in his limbs were finally starting to come back to Conner as he started to open his eyes and realize that they were in the dino thunder HQ and both he and Alex were laying down on mats. Groaning, he sat up and clutched his side when a sharp pain went through his body catching Kira's attention and causing her to run over to him and help him lay back down. With tears in her eyes, Kira grabbed a wet wash cloth and started to dap at some of his wounds making him hiss in pain.

"Well that's what you get for trying to take on Messagog, Conner," Kira said as the others walked in, "I trusted you not to get hurt."

"Sorry, we didn't expect to be ambushed by a mutated Messagog," Conner groaned as Kira reapplied the wash cloth.

"You two are alive that's all that matters right now," Tommy said kneeling down beside him.

"Dr. O…I'm sorry we should have waited for you guys to be able to go," Conner said frowning, "I…I was impulsive."

"And it was because of that, that you were able to not only save Erica, but get us a new dino gem," Jason said grinning.

"But the dino gem was being used by Messagog," Conner said confused, "doesn't that mean that it's his?"

"Not exactly," Hayley said walking over to the computer, "Messagog was force using the gem, but…the gem has found it's true owner."

Following everyone's gaze, Conner finally saw that Erica was standing there, still looking pale and scratched up, but other than that she looked somewhat healthier. However, the red ranger also noticed that there was now a silver band on her wrist with an undeniable green gem in it. Looking over at Tommy and then over to Jason, Conner pushed himself into a sitting position, and looked at the girl before finally speaking again.

"You? You're the newest ranger?"

"You say that as if you don't want me to be," Erica whispers looking at the ground.

"It's not that Erica," Conner promised, "I'm surprised that's all."

"Dude just leave her alone," Alex moaned catching everyone's attention.

Turning around they saw that Alex was also pushing himself up so that he could sit, and at that Erica rushed over and helped him, making the white ranger smile. However when she moved to step away, Alex gently took a hold of her wrist and looked at the bracelet before letting her go and attempting to stand up. Stumbling forward, Alex caught himself and used the wall so that he could steady himself before looking over at the older rangers.

"Conner's right Messagog has mutated using the green dino gem and we have to stop him before he becomes too powerful."

"We know that Alex, but right now you and Conner need to rest," Kat said walking over to Erica, "trust us when I say that you two might play a big part in defeating Messagog."

"How do you figure that?" Conner asked frowning.

"Call it a ranger intuition," Kat explained as she and Kim smiled.

"That's enough for today," Tommy said looking at the two, "you two go home and get some rest alright, you'll need to be at full strength for the upcoming battle."

No one argued and the two boys stood up and the group headed out of the HQ and towards where their car was. Tommy, Kim, and Kira at the moment were staying at a hotel until a time when they could move back into the house, it was pretty clear now that Kim and Kira weren't moving out. Erica was now living with Kat and Jason, Ethan was already heading home, as was Alex. That night sleep seemed to avoid the rangers at all cost as they laid in their beds trying to sleep. When the morning came around, Conner and Alex found that their bodies were still sore, still cut pretty bad, but for the most part they were able to move. The group met over at Cyberspace and sat on the couch there while Hayley made coffee for the older rangers. Completely ignoring the remote that was in front of him, Conner started pacing around a line that was about ten feet, with a few winces here in there.

"Conner please sit down," Kira said frowning.

"Sorry, I…I'm worried that's all," Conner muttered sitting down.

"Don't," Jason said from his seat, "the more you worry about it the worse off you'll be."

Nodding, Conner turned his attention to Erica, who was messing with the bracelet on her wrist as if it were made of some alien material. In all actuality he didn't blame her, she was brand new to the whole ranger scene, and she was only acting like they did when they first became rangers. But when Alex placed his hand on her shoulder she smiled and seemed to calm down slightly as the two sat there on the couch across from him and Kira. The other rangers were sitting by their significant others, trying to think about a plan to take down Messagog when all of the sudden there was an explosion from outside that caught their attention.

"POWER RANGERS!"

"That was Messagog!" Conner said standing up and wincing.

"But you two aren't ready to fight," Kim pointed out.

"Unfortunately I don't think he cares," Tommy pointed out, "we don't have a choice but to fight."

"Then let's suit up," Jason said as they all stood up.

"He's right we have to fight," Conner said activating his morpher.

"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP!"

"WHITE RANGER, DINO THUNDER!"

"GREEN RANGER POWER!"

Morphing they ran outside and saw the destruction that Messagog had created before seeing the dinosaur man himself, standing there looking more like a tyrannosaurus with each passing second. With wide eyes, Conner watches as Messagog flings a car into a nearby building before it burst into flames causing screams of panic to follow close behind it. Laughing, Messagog finally notice that the rangers were there watching him, all with seemingly surprised looks.

"Ah, you came rangers, I'm glad that you will be here to witness the destruction of your precious city."

"Messagog, you've gone too far this time," Conner yelled pointing at him.

"This time you're going down," Alex said pulling out his weapon.

"To sum it up Anton," Tommy said clenching his fist, "This is the last fight."

"So you knew Oliver?" Messagog said clicking his claws together, "I'm not surprise but it doesn't matter Mercer is gone just like his pathetic son."

"SHUT UP!" Conner yelled, "You leave Trent out of this you mutant bastard."

"Alright guys let's do this," Tommy yelled.

The ranger ran forward, weapons ready, and attacked Messagog slashing at him only to be hit with his tail and sent stumbling backwards. Growling, Alex ran forward, Conner follow close behind, and they both attacked at the same time when the tail came back around for a second attack. Seeing it coming, Conner blocked the tail allowing Alex to get in close and slash their opponent, causing a roar of pain and frustration to echo through the streets. Going in for a second attack, the boys were then struck again by the tail before being slashed by the claws and sent back to hit a car. Muscles tense, Tommy and Jason ran forward and started their attack on Messagog followed soon by Kim and Kat only to be hit with a lightning attack and sent flying backwards. Kira and Erica then attacked Messagog from behind only to be grabbed by the throat and flung over to where Conner and Alex were, when Rocky and Ethan took their chance to attack. Managing to hit Messagog, Ethan and Rocky were then struck by an energy attack and smashed against a wall the broke behind them. Groaning, Tommy stood up and saw that Messagog was chuckling evilly before firing some lightning at a nearby building destroying it. The rest of the rangers then finally managed to stand up only for Messagog to turn around and see them before forming a ball of energy in one of his hands.

"You rangers…just don't know when to quit," He said throwing the energy at them causing an explosion.

Almost as soon as he did that he quickly shot some lightning at them and forced them all to demorph and hit the ground, hard. Looking up, all that Jason could see was the flames in front of him and the sight of Messagog walking towards them with his claws pointed at them, looking deadlier then ever.
