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.
