A very Trucchis Christmas
The eleven of them arrive to find themselves outside of the Amber Beach Museum.
Drew: where are we?
?: (behind them) welcome friends.
All eleven of them jump in surprise and turn around. They see a weird looking creature wearing a red robe.
Brandon: (stepping forward) who are you?
?: my name is keeper. I was the mentor to the Dino Charge Power Rangers.
Tyler: (behind them) you still are Keeper.
Keeper and the Rangers turn around to see Tyler coming out of the museum.
Keeper: oh Tyler it's great to see you again.
Tyler: and you Keeper. Though I wish it was under better circumstances.
Keeper: as do I. (turning to others) hold out your morphers.
Greg: (suspicious) why?
Keeper: I am going to give them an upgrade that will surely help in the coming battles.
They all hold out their wrists and Keeper summons a staff and holds it over the morphers. He starts speaking a weird language and they start to glow. When they stop glowing we see that they have changed. There is now an LCD screen on them.
John: (looking at morpher) what the?
Brandon: what did you do?
Keeper: I have give you the power of the Universal Morphers.
Keeper explains to the rangers how to use their upgraded morphers.
Jackie: thanks Keeper.
Keeper: your welcome.
Keeper then disappears.
Tyler: (noticing how many people there are) wow I didn't expect so many of you.
120
Brandon S.: there's rangers in trouble what did you expect?
Tyler: so what is your team name?
Brandon: (stepping forward) Dragon Thunder
Drew: (stepping forward) Beetleborgs Metallix
Brandon S.: (stepping forward) Mighty Morphin
Power Chamber:
Ryan: (to computer) come on work faster
Ian: (teleporting in) anything yet?
Ryan: not yet
We notice that Ian is carrying something. A closer look shows it is a big bag.
Kelsey: what's that?
Ian: did you forget what day tomorrow is?
Kelsey: Christmas!
Trucchis:
The sce shifts to Trucchis where the store is closed for the evening. A look inside shows several employees, including Susan, Bob, Tyler and Toni getting ready to leave.
Susan: alright guys have a good..
She stops mid-sentence. A look outside shows us why. There is a monster and a ton of Drazors outside in the lot.
Susan: oh no.
Bob: what's wrong Susan?
Susan: we've got trouble.
Bob looks outside and sees the monster. Tyler and Toni join them as well.
Tyler: well that might be a bit of a problem.
Bob: (to himself) why did this have to happen? Tonight of all nights.
121
Power Chamber:
Brandon: (on console) okay we got them. Thanks Ryan. Go home and be with your family.
Ryan: your welcome. Good luck
The transmission cuts off. Suddenly the alarm starts going off. Waking up Kelsey and Ian, who are sitting in nearby chairs sleeping.
Ryan: (covering ears) what's going on?
Ian: an attack.
He hits several buttons on the console and they look at the viewing globe. They see that the people at Trucchis are fighting Drazors.
Kelsey: that's not good.
Ryan: we need to help them
Ian: yeah let's go.
The three of them teleport to Trucchis.
?:
Brandon and the others arrive at the coordinates Ryan gave them. We see that they are on top of a mountain.
Tyler: (looking around) where are we?
We see Brandon, Greg, Ny, Shane, Brielle and Laura realize where they are.
Brandon: it can't be.
Shane: seems somehow appropriate.
John: (confused) what is this place?
Greg: this is what used to be the Plains of Draconia.
Tyler: where?
Ny: this is where we were born. And where we stopped Omegor 10,000 years ago.
John: you mean where your ancestors were born and stopped Omegor.
Brielle: we that's true for Shane, Laura and I but it was the three of them along with Ian, Kelsey and Kate
122
Tyler: wait what?
Brandon: we'll explain later. Right now we need to make a plan to get Kate and your rangers out of there.
Trucchis:
Ian, Kelsey and Ryan arrive at Trucchis to find that things have calmed down for the moment. Several people have a few bruises. But nobody appears to be seriously hurt. They approach Bob who is keeping an eye on things outside.
Ian: Bob.
He turns around
Bob: hey Ian
Ian: we're here to help
Bob: good we need it
Kelsey: do you have the key to the armory?
Bob: (surprised) yeah
He pulls a key, similar to the one Kate had, from under his shirt and hands it to Kelsey.
Ian: we'll be back.
Ian, Ryan and Kelsey return to front a moment later. When they do it's to find the dragon rangers standing there.
Ryan: but aren't they?
Ian: (confused) what are you guys…?
He stops mid-sentence. We see that there's a white ranger with them
Ryan: that's impossible I just sent the coordinates.
Rangers: power down
Their ranger armor disappears and we see it's not out rangers. It is Greg, Nathan, Zack, Michaela, Toni, Brandon S., Laura, Sarah and someone we don't know yet.
?: we're here to help
123
Ian: thanks we could use it.
Ryan: you guys handle that monster the three of us will stop any drazors that get through.
Greg and Laura both step forward and hold out a morpher.
Laura: we'll need help
Ian takes the morpher from Greg and Kelsey takes the one from Laura. They put them on their wrists.
Greg: (to his rangers) delta form guys
Others: right
Greg's team: SPD emergency
Ian/Kelsey: dragon thunder power up hah
Ian and Kelsey's new ranger armor appears. Ian is now the platinum ranger and Kelsey is now the Emerald ranger.
Ian: (to Bob) the weapons are in the bag.
Bob: right. You guys worry about the monsters we'll deal with any drazors that break through.
Ian: monsters?
A look outside shows that Nukus has joined the monster.
Greg: good luck Bob
They eleven rangers go outside to find that it is now snowing.
Laura: what the?
Ian: did the weatherman say anything about snow tonight?
Kelsey: no it's supposed to be sixty degrees tomorrow.
Ian: (into communicator) hey Drew, Roland, Jo.
Jo: yeah Ian?
Ian: we have Nukus here if you're interested
Roland: where the power chamber?
Kelsey: no Trucchis
124
Drew: we're on our way
Nathan: looks like it's gonna be a white Christmas after all
Draconia:
The borgs have just finished their conversation with Ian and Kelsey. They walk back over to the others who are all looking down the mountain at something.
Brandon: (turning around) what's up?
Drew: we're going to Trucchis
Greg: what why?
Jo: Nukus is there
Brandon: right good luck
The three of them teleport away
John: now back to the problem at hand
A look down shows a giant fortress complex at the base of the mountain.
Jackie: how are we going to get in there?
Brandon S.: I have a plan. Okay so we know she's somewhere in that compound right?
Greg: yeah
Brandon S.: and the morpher signal is being jammed right?
Jackie: right
Brandon S.: so that means that there is a device somewhere down there jamming it.
Greg: so if we destroy that device we can get in contact with Kate.
Brandon S. looks around the compound for a bit then points
Brandon S.: it's there
John: how do you know that?
Brandon: it would have to be high up to make sure it has the largest area of effect possible.
125
Brandon S.: right. That'll be the control tower as well. We'll need to take that out first. If we don't we'll be surrounded immediately.
Brandon: right. Brandon, Jackie you two and I will do that. The rest of you stay here. We'll signal when it's done.
Brandon S.: after that we'll need to find and rescue Kate.
Tyler: and my team
Brandon: yes
Brandon S.: then we'll destroy the bastard behind all of this.
Tyler: bastards
John: bastards?
Tyler: Omegor's henchman and the one who captured my team.
Brandon: all right let's do this. Let's try our new morphers. Ready?
others: ready.
To be continued.
