CHAPTER 21 Legend of the Thunder Box

"Who's the lizard?" Tori asked.

"The Resident Evil, Mesagog," Kira said, holding her position.

"Where are your knights in shining armor to rescue you helpless damsels?" Mesagog hissed. Kira and Tori cocked their eyebrows.

"Did he just say what I think he said?" Kira asked.

"Yes he did," Tori said angrily. The girls shifted their positions into beginning morphing form.

"Dino Thunder, Power Up!"

"Ninja Storm, Ranger Form, Ha!" The girls were engulfed in yellow and blue lights, dying down to reveal their respective uniforms.

"ATTACK!" Mesagog ordered. The girls engaged in battle with the Tyranodrones. Teaming up, they held their own very well. In fact, they managed to send the Tyranodrones running. Mesagog hissed angrily.

"Shall we take care of them Lord Mesagog?" Elsa asked.

"No, I think I will take care of these two," Mesagog said before approaching the two female rangers. The girls seemed a little worried but engaged in battle anyway. Meanwhile, the guys were busy setting up the party decorations, unaware of the fight outside. Ethan pinned his side up after adjusting it. He sighed, climbed off the ladder, and looked over his handy work.

"FINALLY, it's up and even," he declared. Suddenly, the doors flew open and Kira and Tori went flying through the air. They slammed against the bar counter and slumped to the floor in pain.

"Tori, Kira, are you two okay?" Dr. Oliver asked, running to Kira's side while Cam and Blake were at Tori's side.

"Come on out rangers, the party's out here," they heard Elsa call out.

"Hayley, watch them, we'll take over outside," Hunter said. Hayley nodded and looked after the girls while the guys got in position to morph.

"Dino Thunder, Power Up!" "Ninja Storm, Ranger Form, Ha!" cried Dr. Oliver, Trent, Conner, Ethan, Shane, and Dustin.

"Triassic Power!" Devin cried.

"Thunder Storm, Ranger Form, Ha!" cried Hunter and Blake.

"Samurai Storm, Ranger Form, Ha!" Cam screamed. The familiar spandex suits appeared on each guy. They ran outside and engaged in battle. Shane, Conner, and Devin took on Mesagog, Hunter and Blake went for Elsa, Dr. Oliver and Trent took on Zeltrax, and Dustin, Ethan, and Cam went after the Tyranodrones. They held their own for a while but the fight soon became tiring.

"Dudes, this is harsh," Devin and Dustin said at the same time.

"I tire of this child's play. Either hand over the girl or surrender your powers," Mesagog ordered.

"Forget it. We're not giving them up to anybody," Cam declared.

"Especially since we just got 'em back," Shane pointed out.

"As you wish," Mesagog said before putting up his hand to drain their powers. Two blasts stopped him. Everyone looked up to see Kira and Tori stumble out of Hayley's Café.

"Go crawl back in a sewer," Tori said, stumbling to the guys.

"How original," Mesagog retorted. The girls were so injured, they stumbled. Trent caught Kira and Blake caught Tori.

"Anymore interruptions before I seal your fate?" Mesagog asked. Suddenly, lights started bouncing up and down off the ground. They knocked into Elsa, Zeltrax, and the Tyranodrones. Mesagog stood his ground, not trying to follow the lights.

"I should have known," he said to himself. The lights stopped and four figures stood near the fight.

"Sensei? Laura? LeeAnn?" Blake and Hunter asked.

"Dad?" Cam asked.

"What are you doing here?" Trent asked.

"Believe it or not, Mesagog isn't the worst thing you have to worry about, but we can't have him stealing your powers," Sensei Amano said.

"And who's going to stop me old man, YOU?" Mesagog asked before sending blasts at the four. The Sensei's dodged one way while LeeAnn and Laura dodged the other way. They used their Thunder skills to attack Mesagog at once but he tossed them aside like they were nothing. He turned to the Sensei's.

"Care to take a shot?" he asked. The Sensei's put their powers together as well, hoping their experience would give them an edge. An energy ball created rapidly and they fired it back at Mesagog. But he fired it back at them. It would have been deadly had it not suddenly stopped inches from the Sensei's. Everyone was confused as to why it just stopped.

"Surprise lizard breath," came a familiar voice.

"LEILA!" chorused the group. Leila had her hand out, mentally controlling the energy ball. She redirected it and fired it at the Tyranodrones. Mesagog was shocked.

"ELSA! ZELTRAX! Seize her for my army!" he ordered.

"As you wish Lord Mesagog," Zeltrax before approaching Leila, thinking this would be easy.

"We meet again metal mouth," Leila said sarcastically, but confidentally. Laura eyed her daughter, worried about her. LeeAnn put a hand on her shoulder.

"She has the power now, don't worry," she said reassuringly. Zeltrax charged at Leila but she launched his sword out of his hand with her mental powers. Then she kicked him so hard, he launched forty feet away from the group.

"Whose next?!" Leila asked angrily. Elsa growled at her.

"You think you're so tough. You haven't seen anything yet," Elsa declared, taking her fighting position.

"Now, now, we must not jump to conclusions, PRINCIPAL RANDALL!" Leila cried out. Elsa was shocked beyond belief. Her cover was blown.

"WHAT?!" Devin asked.

"That's just wrong," Conner declared.

"Aw man," Ethan said. Leila charged at Elsa, taking her on in hand to hand combat. Elsa was tough, but not tough enough for this new boost Leila had. Leila punched her square in the stomach, and launched her back as far as Zeltrax. Leila slowly turned to Mesagog, who was very angry.

"You have much power, too bad I must take it for myself," Mesagog hissed. Leila smirked.

"Guess again," she declared. She took a position, showing her wrist and a new object.

"No...," Dr. Oliver said.

"Is that what I think it is?" Trent asked.

"A morpher?" Kira asked.

"Be careful Leila," Tori said. Leila went through a brand new set of morphing motions.

"THUNDERSAURUS POWER, HA!" she cried. A light brighter than any of them could handle engulfed Leila. When it died down, they were amazed at what they saw. The bottom of Leila's spandex uniform matched Hunter and Blake's, only with a skirt. Her top matched the layout of Kira, Conner, and Ethan's uniform. Her helmet was similar to Blake and Hunter put the visor was spiked to give off the dinosaur hint. The uniform consisted of the colors gold and black.

"I can't believe it," Sensei Watanabe said.

"The Gold Thundersaurus Ranger, the seventh ranger to the Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder Rangers in one," Sensei Omano said. Leila stood tall and proud.

Okay, what do you think? The next few chapters will bring Anton Mercer back in the picture and I promise to get Devin more into the story. But Leila isn't JUST getting these powers to wipe out Mesagog, there's more trouble on the way, along with the rest of the school year. Prom will be here before you know it (*COUGH*)....and then who knows what the summer holds for the crews. Please R&R. –Storm2003
