Under the light of the rising sun stood Alice. With swift precise blows, she struck an old tree. Moving in trance her punches and kicks did not affect the plant. As she trained her mind drifted to her youth. Her father's years of training her flashing across her vision. Punching the tree she rested her head against it. With a scream she let her tears fall.

"You know he must see a lot of potential if he picked green for you."

Lifting her head she found Jason standing nearby. He slowly approached her hand just above his buckle. As he got closer a chill traveled down her spine. As she stepped back she blinked. His face was gray as clay with every other color pale. The fake Jason spoke in a snarl as it flashed its buckle.

"Monster!"

In a puff of red smoke, the replica was a false ranger. It looked like the Tyranno Ranger with a pale red suit with white of the suit clay gray. With a wave of his hand, a false Power Sword appeared in his hand. At the sight, Alice gripped her buckle.

"Should have known you weren't my Uncle Jason,he's not that ugly."

In a green flash, she was prepared to fight. As the clone charged she slid back. As the clay ranger's blade clashed with hers she dug in her heels. With her free hand, she punched the clone in the chin. The blow sent the head-spinning before it stopped it. Stepping back the clay monster adjusted its head.

"Is that best you can do girl I expected more."

Suddenly a hole was blasted through its chest. Looking through its hole the sight of a blue ranger. The Navy Thunder ranger stood hands resting on a ninja sword. Her slender form fits well in her father's ranger form. On her back, she wore the blade of the storm academy. As she approaches the clay ranger's entire body rotated.

"Pesky ninja child."

Smirking the Navy ranger performed a blur of hand gestures. As the gestures ended she pointed towards the clay creature. From both sides of the cliff streams of water rushed into the air. Swirling together the streams spun like a drill. The water drill plowed through the monster tearing it to shards. As the pair of rangers relaxed an elegant woman's voice was heard.

"Powers of darkness revive my monster!"

A staff crashed into the ground between them. The pole to the staff was gold with a swirled scorpion hook. On impact, the ground started to crumble away. In a gray mist, the remains of the clone drifted over the water. Reforming the clay monster took the form of a deformed Tyrannosaurus zord. At the sight, Alice gave a weak laugh.

"I'll admit that's a surprise."

The deformed Tyranno was pale red. Its stubby arms were clawed and its tail was covered in spikes. It had no eyes and its mouth contained rows of sharp teeth. It let out a roar looking in their direction. The hurricane ninja stepped back.

"So any ideas for this situation?"

Before Alice could respond explosions went off. Her eyes widened as the fake Tyranno dropped to the water. Turning her gaze to the distance she saw it. A silver dot slowly approaching them. As it got closer she could make out a red dot. As the Tyranno rose it turned its attention to its attacker.

With a feral roar, it trudged through the wave. With a crash, the two forces met. The Tyranno was sent stumbling from the impact. Stepping over the clay clone their savior was revealed. Standing over the false zord stood the Q Rex.

Whipping around the mighty Rex shoved the clay dino underwater. As his Zord attacked Matt ran down its tail. With a leap, he stood with them on the cliff. With a dramatic bow, he smiled behind his helmet.

"Nine point five, I would have even you a solid ten if you did a flip."

Taking off his helmet Matt spun to Alice. Ignoring his look of shock she summoned the Dragon Dagger. Her fingers moved on their own as she played. As she played the Dragonzord rose from the waves.

"Good morning bud."

With a roar, the dragon turned to the false dino. Eyes glowing in anger the dragon spun. Drill tail impaling its foe the dragon growled satisfied. As the dino slid off the drill it began to shift.

With a series of sloshing sounds the monster was reformed. With a gurgling roar, a corrupted version of Red Dragon Warrior Mode before them. With only shared nods the dragon masters moved. As Alice set the dagger to her lips Matt yelled into his Morpher.

"Q Rex engage Warrior Mode!"

With a bellowing roar, the rex confirmed his command. In almost synchronized movement the zords transformed. The Dragonzord was now equipped with the Tigerzord's blade. The false zord blocked every swing of the blade with its staff.

"Don't tell me we need another zord."

At the comment, the zord masters turned. Beside them the thunder ranger watched. Her beetle helmet under her arm. Black hair was cut in a pixie cut the framed her face.

"I think we're just fine, just who are?"

The thunder ranger simply laughed. Jumping she sat on a branch leaning on the tree. Raising a brow she glanced down at the two. As she prepared to speak an explosion stole her attention. As she turned she watched the monster die. The Dragonzord had restrained it as the Q Rex finished it. As the remains of the monsters disappeared into the air the ninja jumped down. Smiling she tilted her head as she spoke to them.

"Gale, Navy Thunder Ranger at your service."

Stepping back Matt took in their new acquaintance. In a blur of motion, she drew her sword. Smiling she spun it before returning it to its home. In a swift motion, Matt drew the Quantum Defender. As the dino-themed pistol was put away, Alice spun the Dragon Dagger. As they all unmorphed they shared a laugh. As the laughter died done they all shared a look of shock.

"We need to get to the facility!"

Author's Note: Gale here is a product of both the storm and thunder schools. I'm undecided on how the team zord is going to work at the meant I welcome suggestions.
