Chapter: 13: Temple Fight

Hunter and Blake both rolled to the bottom, still wrestling and punching each other. Hunter pushed Blake off of him and stood up, wiping all the leaves and dirt away from his face. Blake circled his brother, getting into a fighting position. Hunter just stood there, shaking his head.

"This is stupid Blake. What do you think doing? Im your brother."

Blake sighed, standing back up, "Im not going to lose Tori."

"I don't know what to tell you man. You can't force a girl to like you." Hunter reasoned with him.

Blake smirked, "No. But I can get rid of the person she likes. Even if it is my brother."

Tori watched from above the hill. She wasn't sure what to do, suddenly a huge explosion lit the sky, towards the direction of where Cam and the others went. Hunter looked up, distracted by the explosion. Blake took that chance and charged at his brother. Tori looked behind her and saw the stream.

"I call upon the power of the rising water!." She shouted.

A ball of water rose from the stream and went flying down the hill right into Blake. The navy ranger went flying towards the side, waters spraying everywhere. Tori then jumped off the edge of the hill and made her way down towards Hunter.

"We don't have time for this. Both of you. I think Cam and them are in trouble." She shouted.

Blake struggled to stand back up. He was completely soaked from head to toe. Tori and Hunter turned to look at Blake, waiting to decide if he was going to help.

"You going to put this issue aside for now?" Tori asked.

Blake ran his hands through his wet hair, "All right." He whispered.

Tori smiled before hearing another explosion, "Come on! Let's go."

The three of them ninja streaked up the hill, to chase after the others.

--

Conner, Kira and Trent had noticed the explosion from a couple of miles away. They knew they were getting close to the others when they saw the fire in the sky. Kira gasped, startled by it all. She grabbed onto Conner, who was speechless at the sight as another explosion happened.

"I think their trouble!" Kira shouted out.

Trent nodded, "Ya think. Come on, let's go."

He was about to take a step forward, when Conner stopped him, "Wait? Since when do you care."

Trent turned around and glared at him, "I told you. Were putting our differences aside."

Kira stormed through them and broke them apart, "Let's go!"

The three of them were running down the pathway when Conner and Kira started hearing their names echo in the night. They stopped and listened again as it shouted out their names. The voice was coming from behind them. They turned around and heard it again.

"Conner! Kira!!"

Two figures came out of the brushes, they were familiar. It was Tommy and Hayley, they looked like they were exhausted. As if they had been searching for hours.

"Dr O?" Conner asked.

He stopped in front of them, breathing heavily, "Im glad you guys are all right."

Hayley arched her eyebrows, "Trent?"

He nodded, "Hey Hayley. Thought you could get rid of me eh?"

Tommy glanced at Trent, then suddenly a third explosion appeared.

"We don't have time. Let's do it guys."

"Dino Thunder Power Up Hah!" Conner, Kira and Tommy chorus.

"White Dino Power." Trent followed.

Hayley's eyes widen as she saw Trent morph. After the morphing sequence completed, Tommy noticed the white ranger.

Kira rolled her eyes, "We'll explain later. Come on." She said dashing towards the explosion.

The other rangers ran as fast as they could leaving Hayley behind. She sighed and shrugged.

"Don't mind me..I'll just walk.." She grumbled.

The 4 dino rangers made it up the large hill and through the woods, passing shrubs and branches on the way. They jumped over a small stream and kept running. Times like this, they wish they had their raptor cycles or something, but they knew it was unavailable. After a bit more running they came into a large circle clearing. The whole area was filled with smoke. Cam and the others were all groaning the ground. Ethan was the only one with morphing powers and the only one standing.

"What the hell happened?" Conner shouted.

Ethan turned around, "About time." He notices the white ranger among them, "I'm not even going to ask."

The smoke began to slowly clear away and a temple appeared. A figure was standing on the roof the temple with his long katana out. Conner knew exactly who it was, as soon as he spotted the sword. It was Kenshi. He jumped off the building and started walking towards the ranger. Cam looked up from the ground, his glasses were half cracked. Eric had passed out and Dustin and Marah were coughing and trying to stand up. Kenshi had taken down half the rangers on his own. He was a strong warrior. Suddenly a few streaks went by and Tori, Blake and Hunter appeared.

"So the gang is all here." Kenshi grinned.

"Where going to put you away." Conner took a step forward.

"Bring it."

The Dino Thunder rangers charged forward at Kenshi and began battling. Tori ran over to Dustin to see if he was all right while the Thunder Brothers checked on the others. Conner threw a punch at Kenshi, but he dodged and slashed through him with his sword only to see Kira charging at him. The guardian of the temple jumped over her and kicked her into Trent before spinning around to block an attack coming from Tommy. He grabbed Tommy by the arm and flipped him over, and fired a shot at Ethan. Tori watched as she helped Dustin and Marah up. The three of them looked at the fight.

"Come on. We have to help them." Dustin whispered.

He tried to walk forward but the toxic in his body started to take effect. He clenched his fist as he fell to the ground, feeling the pain. It was ten times as worst then before. The whole ground began to shake furiously, more powerful then ever. The Dino rangers stopped fighting and looked around. Even Kenshi was clueless of what was going on.

Marah ran over and bent down, "Come on Dustin. You have to fight it." She begged.

Dustin tried his hardest, the shake began to calm a bit. Hunter helped his friend Cam up and put his arms around his shoulder to keep him balance.

"We need to get him into the temple quickly." Cam directed them.

Tori heard him and began to help Dustin back up. They started to get close to the temple when Kenshi turned around and fired a blast at them. He then turned around and saw Conner coming down on him with a thunder max saber. Kenshi went flying back and the dino thunder regrouped.

"Laser arrows!" Trent shouted

Kenshi stood back up and deflected the attack, running towards the rangers. Tommy took out his brachio staff and began to battle him as Dustin and the others recovered. They looked back and then entered the temple quickly before Kenshi would notice. Kenshi flew back by one of Tommy's powerful blow and then turned to see them missing. He grew angry and began dashing towards the temple. Hunter and Blake ninja streaked in front of the temple to block him.

"Going somewhere." Blake smirked.

"You'll have to get past us."

Kenshi glared at him and snapped his finger. The temple began to shake and a large stoned door began to descend on the entrance.

"If I can't go in, they wont come out. Ever." He laughed.

Blake and Hunter turned to the door then each other.

"Hunter, go in there. Protect Tori. I will make sure he wont get in."

Hunter raised an eyebrow, "You sure?"

He nodded, "Just do it!" He shouted, pushing him in.

The door slammed shut as Hunter dived in. Blake turned around and got into a fighting position as the other DT rangers surrounded him. Cam ran over to slap Eric around in till he woke up. Eric groaned and sat up. Shane sat up near by. He had been knocked out into a bush. He climbed out and walked over.

"What's going on?"

Cam sighed, "Oh you know. The ususal."

Shane looked up and saw Kenshi blast all the rangers down. Each one losing their ranger form. Blake charged forward, only to be thrown back into the wall. Things weren't looking good.
