Silver Debut!
By Sonic Angel

Disclaimer: Don't own PRDT!

"Hi, Juan here. Last night was a night I'll never forget. My new friends' secrets are safe with me."

"You like her, don't you?"

"Conner, you are not gonna find out who I like, got it?"

After school, I hung out at Reefside's Cyber Café, owned by one of Dr O.'s good pals, Haley. I would prefer Katherine owning the place, but she'll have to do. I listened to my MP3 player and sat in… What else but a silver bean bag chair, and with my silver laptop (Yeah, so what else is new. I like silver.), listening to Every Little Step by Play featuring Aaron Carter. Haley smiled, "You like the song, don't you?" Haley smiled again, "You like her." I smiled very romantically, "Yeah, I do. You're the second person to know." She asked, "Who's the first?" I grinned, "Dr. O."

I heard the sounds of Dr.O and his aides, along with my new friends Conner, Kira, and Ethan. I grinned, "Speak of the devil." I turned to Haley and I said, "Haley, get me a glass of OJ, will ya?"

Haley grinned, "Sure will."

I grinned, while sipping my OJ with a silver straw "Hello, Mr. Oliver, and company. Welcome to the Reefside Cyber Café."

Ethan sighed, "Conner's been bugging me about who you like. Again, for two days in a row."

I grinned, "Shame on you, Mr. McKnight. I'd thought you'd have more patience. You'll find out who it is in due time."

Conner sighed, "I'll have you know that patience is not my best virtue. And, Juan, if this is your way of torturing me, it's working."

Adam grinned severely evilly; "I know who it is…."

I grinned, "You tell, you frog, and I will have to insult your pet frog again."

Adam groaned, "Juan… That's not fair!"

Dr. O grinned, "You know what they say, Adam… Turnabout is fair play,"

I added, "All's fair in love and war."

Conner sighed, "Whoever thought of that saying must be a dodo brain. War is not fair."

I smiled, "For once, Conner, you actually said something right!" I grabbed my silver tape recorder and stated, "Note to self. Conner said something right today."

Ethan sighed, "Is there anything you own that's not silver?"

I grinned, "Sorry, Ethan. Guess you could say that silver's kind of my favorite color." I thought evilly, 'My Ranger color!'

Katherine and Kira smiled, "I don't know Ethan, but it's kind of cute."

For the second time in my life, my cheeks turned 14 shades of red, thanks to a female Ranger. Or two, or three.

Aisha came with a stranger, and another friend. William Cranston, also known as Billy.

I stepped forward and smiled, "Back from your vacation from Aqualand, I see?"

Billy was shocked. He asked, "Who… Who told you that I was taking a vacation in Aqualand?"

I pointed at my teacher and grinned, "Dr. O."

Billy was even more shocked. "When did Tommy become a Doctor?"

I laughed, "Long story, amigo."

I went to my solar powered motorcycle and yelled, "See ya guys on the flipside!"

Conner said, "I'll find out who you like, Juan Fernandez, sooner or later."

Ethan smiled, "I have a feeling you'll learn it sooner."

Ethan found a silver piece of paper and it read:

"Ethan, my dear old friend. Please buddy up with Willam. Just call him Billy. You'll learn things from him. And oh, BTW, he's the original Blue Triceratops Ranger! And you will learn from him, my young Tricera padawan."

Ethan sighed, "One of these days, I will get him to stop watching Star Wars."

The stranger asked, "Why is Juan acting so confident?"

Dr. O looked at the stranger and said, "You've got quite a lot of catching up to."

I arrived at my silver house, may be filled with technological advancements, but it's very modest (By my standards, anyway.) After I moved back to Reefside, I set up my Ranger training camp, and so, that's where I was hanging out, sipping my OJ.

Oh yeah, today was like any other day, other than me wearing a silver trench coat, hiding my silver daggers which were a gift from my other, but deceased sensei, Trini. And, my Japan made silver katana.

That's when I sensed the stranger I saw earlier. I shook my head. "Impressive. Not many people can sneak up on me like that. I can not be…"

The stranger said, "Easily surprised, Juan Fernandez? I know."

I thought, 'This stranger can sneak up on me, and knows my name? That's impossible. Only…' That's when I realized the truth. Aisha must've given the Sabretooh Morpher back to Trini and that must've reanimated her and Billy made her an android body to hold her esscence.

I smiled, "You can take off that trench coat, sensei."

Trini was wearing the clothing she wore when she was a Ranger, unmorphed. She grinned, "Tommy told me everything. You've changed quite a lot."

I grabbed my left pocket and I felt it. The Silver Dino Gem. I took off it's protective covering and I allowed the powers of the gem to bond with me. I thought, 'It's time for Mesagog to pay for what he's done to my parents. He will PAY!'

Then, I saw a pink flash. It was ZRI. She grinned, "So, I guess your quest's over."

I smiled, "Not necessarily." That's when I grabbed my right pocket and withdrew a silver box

FLASHBACK

It was a few hours before Dr. O and the crew would arrive. Haley and I were having a private conversation. Haley sighed sadly, "Dr. O told me about your parents." I sighed, "Yeah. He's going to pay for what he's done."

Haley asked, "Did your father give you something, like a gem or something?"

I stated, "Actually, he did Haley. He just never found something to harness the gem's power."

Haley gave me a silver box. She smiled, "Here's something that can do that, and end your quest at the same time."

FLASHBACK ENDS

That's when Dr. O and the DT Rangers as well as Jason, Billy, and Zack morphed. Dr. O said, "We detected a few of Mesagog's goons here. I think he's after the Silver Dino Gem you have, Juan."

I snarled, "Well, he's not gonna get his slimy, greedy hands off of MY power!"

I opened the box, and saw a silver Velociraptor morpher. I attached it to my wrist and put the Silver Dino Gem in it.

That's when Zeltrax and a few Tyrannodrones decided to show up.

I snarled, "I have no intention of surrendering the Silver Gem to Mesagog. In fact, it's already bonded with me."

Zeltrax snarled, "ATTACK!"

I withdrew my daggers from their sheaths and started to move at an intensely high speed that it seemed like I was at two places at once, and kicking the crap out of the Tyrannodrones.

Ethan cried, "Man, the Silver Dino Gem has the power of teleportation!"

I smiled, while teleporting and kicking the crap out of the Tyrannodrones, "It's… Just… The… Tip… Of… The… Iceberg, dude!"

Ethan sighed, "I told you not to call me 'dude'!"

I finished with some of them and my eyes narrowed dangerously. Zeltrax snarled, "Is that best you got?"

I grinned, "Nope! That's just my primary power. I have a secondary power."

Zeltrax stated, "Well, my master did say that the Silver Gem is seriously powerful."

I grinned evilly, "I think its time for you to have a taste of my second power!"

Zeltrax asked "And what's that?"

I grinned, "Don't say I didn't warn you… VELOCI SCREAM!"

Suddenly, my mouth was creating hypersonic vibrations that blew all the Tyrannodrones to the nearest Invisi-Portal.

After I stopped screaming, I weakly laughed, "Guess I don't know the strength of my own voice…"

Conner laughed, "I think I'm gonna be deaf now."

Ethan grinned, "I think I know who you like now…"

I grinned, "Don't tell Conner. Yet."

Zeltrax quipped, "Impressive."

I grinned, "Oh, I'm not done yet!" I reached for my morpher and yelled, "DINO THUNDER, POWER UP! HI-YAH!"

Suddenly, I was surrounded with a white light, and my body was surging with an seriously electric rush, then my body was surrounded with a silver suit with the DT symbol on my chest, finally, my head was surrounded with the silver Velociraptor helmet. I did my pose with my Velocizord and confidently smiled, "Dino Thunder. Silver Ranger. VELOCI POWER!"

Zeltrax stated, "Join my master, and together, we'll rule the world."

I snarled, "No way! I'd rather stick with my friends!" I yelled, "Veloci Daggers!"

Zeltrax sneered, "Daggers. How pathetic."

I grinned, "Not these daggers. COMBINE!" They fused to become a sword with a head and neck of a Velociraptor. I yelled, "Veloci Saber!"

Zeltrax charged at me, but I jumped and landed at his sword. I sneered, "First rule of combat: Never underestimate your opponent."

We fought for a while in sword combat, and I kicked his shield away.

I noticed some notches and a switch and some pictures of wind, an explosion, and the metal silver. I thought, 'These must be my saber's attacks!'

I turned the switch to the picture of the wind and I yelled, "Veloci Saber, KAZE STRIKE!" Which made a serious gale force wind and struck Zeltrax.

I grinned, "Oh, I'm not done yet!" I yelled, "Veloci Saber, EXPLOSION STRIKE!" That also struck Zeltrax and weakened him.

Then, I smiled, "And now, for the piéce dé résistance!" I turned the switch to the metal silver and I charged at Zeltrax. I yelled, "VELOCI SABER… SILVER SLASH!"

That severely weakened Zeltrax and he groaned, "Finish me…"

I pointed my saber at his face and sighed, "No. I have a message for your master. Tell him that he will pay for the death of my parents. And besides," I laughed, "Dr.O has way better health benefits."

Zeltrax escaped to the Invisi-Portal, while Conner and Ethan stood there, dumfounded and shocked beyond belief.

I asked, "What, haven't you seen me kick some bad guy butt before?"

Ethan smiled, "You... Were… AWESOME!"

I laughed, "Not bad for my first day on the job."

Conner sighed, "That's it. I am not going to bug you again."

I smiled, "Why the sudden change of heart, Mr. McKnight?"

Conner simply replied, "I just don't want to anger a guy who could go Jet Li on my butt."

Kira smiled, "So, does this mean that…"

I grinned, "Oh yeah… You guys can count on me as of this moment!"

Then, I heard giant footsteps coming toward my house. I looked into my communicator and asked, "Uh, Haley, there are some giant footsteps coming this way. Is Mesadork bringing his giant monster to destroy me?"

That's when Conner started laughing. "Mesadork? Oh, that's a good one, Juan! Maybe you should be a comedian!"

Haley smiled, "No. It's a gift from Dr. O."

The source of the giant footsteps revealed itself near my house.

Haley grinned, "Juan, meet the Velocizord."

I grinned, "My… My… MY OWN ZORD!? OKAY, DR. O, WHERE ARE THE KEYS TO THAT BAD BOY?"

Dr. O replied, "Your Veloci Saber."

I quipped, "Oh… Just like the White Ranger Thunder Tigerzord! I see… COOL!"
