A/N: In reference to the last chapter, how a Dragon came to be in the time of the Dinosaurs, I don't know. But it's MY fic, and I put him there. Deal with it. Hah. Not that anyone's questioned me about it, but anyway. You've all probably figured out that everyone's dino is out to get them, right? At least I HOPE you've figured it out. If not, then I just gave it away. Although, I really don't have a reason why. just accept it and be happy. or sad, as it may be the more appropriate emotion to the ironic downfall of our favorite heroes.
VINES, TIGERS AND TRI-HORNS, OH MY
The teens found themselves heading back to Billy's lab on the sidewalk that still remained. There were only four of them now: a depressed Kimberly, who clung to the sullen Jason. Trini stared absently ahead, and Billy was right at her side. To say the least, it was as if they had given up hope at any chance of survival. They saw what happened to their friends, and they only wondered when their time would come. No contact with Zordon or Alpha had been established, and as if knowing that death may certainly be their only way out of this lost world, the heat of the sun slowly began to cook their raw flesh.
Jason felt a squeeze to his hand, and looked at it to see what was giving it so much pressure.
Kim was so upset, she could have crushed Jason's hand right then and there if she wanted to. But she released it, and placed her hand over her eyes. She stopped walking, and Jason instinctively stopped with her.
"Kim?" he asked gently.
She couldn't take it anymore. Tears left her eyes without so much as a sob or choke from her mouth, and she began to lash out at no one in particular. "It's not fair!" she yelled aloud, grabbing the attention of her other two team mates. "It's just not fair! I mean, we don't even know how we GOT here, and there's NO way OUT?! What IS this? Some sort of sick TEST? Because I quit. I QUIT!" She threw her arms out at her sides, and began to shake hysterically. She lowered herself to the ground with Jason's help, and bent her knees in front of her, closing her arms around them.
Jason was shocked. He'd never seen her in a state like this before. He didn't know what to say. "Kim, you just have to calm down. I don't know if we'll get out of here, but you're right. It's not fair. We lost two of our friends in this stupid place, and we don't even know why." He slumped down next to her, and leaned his head against the pole of Billy's mailbox. "But we can't just give up so easily. Something's going on. I don't know what it is, but if these prehistoric beasts are out to get US, then we need to watch each other's backs-"
Billy broke in. "I believe that would be a very good idea, considering what's behind you!" He was almost yelling in fear now. "Kimberly, get up!"
Jason was already at his feet and looked in astonishment as the vines that were once coiled around Billy's mailbox began to coil around Kim.
Before they had tightened their grip, Kim managed to get to her feet, but that was the last move she was able to make. The vines made quick work of Kim, leaving not a single inch of her uncovered. They climbed up her body, slowly closing on her throat and mouth.
Kim's fingers wriggled out at the sides, and her eyes opened wide as she tried to scream behind the vines at her mouth, but the sound she released was only muffled. The plant tightened, choking her neck, and the tears of frustration that welled from her eyes became tears of fear.
She couldn't breathe. Her vision was blurring, and the vines at her head blocked her hearing. She could only see blurs of red, blue and yellow moving about, and she wasn't able to make out what they were shouting.
Trini was in a panic. "What do we do?" she called, her hands on her chest.
Jason was attempting to pull the vines apart, but to no avail. His hands had gotten tangled in the vines as well, and his feet were next. Thinking quickly, he shouted to Billy. "See if you can't find some scissors in your lab, Billy! Hurry! We need to get Kim lose, or we'll lose her, too! GO!"
Billy did as commanded and rushed to his lab. Digging frantically through his drawers, he finally came across a pair of scissors, and ran out to help his friends.
The vines that had covered the outside of his house, however, prevented him from doing any such thing. They moved lightning quick, and tied at his ankle, tripping him.
He avoided the sharp point of the scissors, and slid them across the pavement over to Trini.
She watched as they bumped into her feet, and she picked them up. Making haste, she cut the vines at Jason's wrists.
Once he was free, he took the scissors, and with Trini at his side with a hand cupped over her mouth, he cut at the vines at Kimberly's throat.
She could feel her heart beating faster and faster, and felt her veins suffocating with every squeeze. She needed air. Her head was spinning, and she felt like she would faint at any moment. Her eyelids were getting heavier, and she could no longer see...
Jason was gritting his teeth. The vines were thick, and it took him too long to even cut just one. But finally, he had managed to break three of them, and loosened the rest with his hand, allowing Kim's breathing passage to loosen.
Eyes still closed, she felt air seep in to her mouth and dive down her throat. She gasped, and opened her eyes. She could see clearly now, and she began to cough. Jason was prying lose the vines that threatened her very life, and Trini was laughing with a tear in her eye.
The girl in yellow noticed Kim's eyes dart past her.
"Kim, what is it? What's the matter?" She questioned.
Kimberly began to shake her head wildly, with a look of plain fear in her eyes. Finally, it took a shout from Billy to get Trini to turn around, only to come face to face with something she never thought she'd see.
The Saber Toothed Tiger growled calmly, and looked right into the eyes of the yellow ranger. It could sense her fear, and opened its mouth to release its warm breath in a powerful roar.
Trini could feel its whiskers tickle her cheeks as it yelled, and she was too frightened to even move away.
Jason loosened enough of the vines for Kim to break free, and clutching at her throat, she screamed at her friend. "Trini!" She coughed. "Trini, get away!"
Jason did the only thing he could think of. Picking up a rock from the dirt outside of Billy's house, he chucked it at the cat's head, and it hit the over-sized feline right on the nose.
Trini flinched as it turned its head away and headed for Jason, who was still held in place by the vines at his feet. The Tiger swung an angry paw at Jason's chest. The red ranger managed to move away just enough so the claws only ripped at his shirt.
Thankful, and yet fearful at Jason's diversion, Trini began to run in the opposite direction. Not being the calm and clear-thinking person she usually was, she ran strait for the trees on the opposite side of the street.
Perking up its ears, the Tiger turned its head to see Trini fleeing the scene, and leapt into the air to follow. This is the chase the Tiger was waiting for, but was disappointed when it so easily pounced upon the thin girl that was to be its prey. Trini was pinned to the ground under the weight of the enormous paws. There was nowhere she could go; no way to escape. She only let herself cry as the monster snorted warm air at the back of her head.
Kim and Billy froze, and Jason balled his fists tightly together.
Feeling that he should do something to save her, Billy rushed forward to Trini's aide, shouting at the top of his lungs. "Get away from her, you over-grown flea bag!" The not-so-scientific term did nothing to pull the Tiger's attention away from its catch.
Now in the middle of the street, Billy stood and watched as the Tiger carefully picked Trini up by her shirt in its teeth, and carried her off into the jungle ahead. He turned around and looked at his friends. "We have to go after her!"
Jason and Kim just stood there, wincing at the screams that faded into the distance.
Suddenly, the Earth began to shake.
By now, Billy was furious and not quite his reserved self anymore. "Aw, What now, huh?" As he turned slowly in his place, his face molded from one of anger to one of blank fear and shock.
From out of nowhere came a charging Triceratops, heading right for Billy.
Jason stepped back, and Kim only screamed for Billy to move. But it was too late.
The beast lifted Billy off of the ground with its horn through his overall, and carried him away down the street. Jason and Kim could hear him calling out to them, flailing his arms wildly as the creature pranced out of sight.
Kim clutched the hair at her head with bent fingers, and gritted her teeth. She freaked out and began to run off.
Jason followed. "Kim! STOP! There's no where to-" He halted, and his heart skipped a beat as the next horrific sight introduced itself. A giant shadow drifted on the ground at Jason's feet. He swallowed hard as he looked up to see what it was, and he gasped as he saw a Pterodactyl fly right over his head.
Looking straight ahead now, Kim had slowed down, fast-walking with one arm thrashing at her side with a balled fist, and her other with her hand to her forehead. The evil flying reptile glided slowly her way, and Jason knew what was about to happen next.
