The Rangers drove for a little bit, then Herbie stopped near some sand dunes. Then, the Rangers got out of Herbie.

"What happened?" asked Conner.

"This must be where Haley programmed Herbie to stop," said Kim.

"Look over there," said Kira, as she pointed to a large open invisaportal.

"This is too easy," said Ethan.

"Yeah," said Kim, "too easy."

Just then, Zeltrax, Elsa, a whole army of Tyrannodrones, and the Pollinator monster appeared in front of the invisaportal, and then Conner said, "Who invited you?"

"I'm crashing," said Elsa, "and I brought a few friends. Is that rude?"

"Extremely," said Kira.

"Whose that?" asked Kim.

"Those are Mesagog's goons, Zeltrax and Elsa."

"Your not getting through that portal unless its in chains," said Zeltrax.

"I say we go for it," said Conner.

The others agreed, then Kim said, "Everyone back in. It's time for a little Divide and Conquer." Once everyone was back inside Herbie, Kim stepped on the gas petal and drove straight toward Mesagog's toadies, then Kim said, "Ready?"

"Ready," said Ethan and Kira from the back seat. Then, Kim pressed a button marked Separation, then Herbie broke into two parts. With, Kim & Conner controlling the front half and Kira & Ethan controlling the back half.

"Attack!" said Elsa, then Zeltrax, the Pollinator, and the Tyrannodrones charged toward the Rangers.

The Rangers easily defeated Tyrannodrones and held off Elsa, Zeltrax, and the Pollinator. They recombined Herbie and Kira said, "Hurry the portal's closing!"

Kim floored it and headed straight for the portal. Elsa fired a bolt of energy from her sword toward the car, but it had little affect on Herbie or the Rangers, and they made it through just as the portal closed. Soon, they where inside Mesagog's lair. Kim pressed a button on Herbie's dash and said, "Haley, we're in."

"Good," said Haley, "I'll recalibrate Herbie for your exit. You guys have about five minutes."

"Right," said Kim.

The Rangers got out and in unison said, "Power Down." and they returned to their normal forms.

Then, Kim said, "OK, Kira, you're the only one of us who's been here before. Lead the way."

"Follow me," said Kira, the four Rangers started running down the hall. They turned a corner and she said, "The lab should be right down here. At least we still have the element of…"

Just then Mesagog appeared from around a corner, and said "Welcome, we've been expecting you."

"surprise," said Kira. As the four Rangers started to back away from him, a door started to close, blocking the way they had just come.

"You remember me, I trust."

"Like, I could forget that face."

"Which part is his face?" said Ethan.

"Obviously, you are in need of some discipline," said Mesagog, then a beam of energy started to emanate from his forehead, but just then Elsa, Zeltrax, and the Pollinator appeared in front of the Rangers taking the full blast of the attack, allowing the Rangers to escape.

The Rangers ran into the lab and Tommy said, "Hey." The Rangers rushed over to him and started to unstrap him from the table. He looked up at Kim and said, "What are you doing here?"

"If that's your way of saying thank you," said Kim, "It could use some work."

"I'll thank you for real, when we get out of here," said Tommy, as he got off the table. He walked over to a console, pressed a button, and the lab doors close. "How did you guys get in here?"

"Haley made some modifications to Herbie," said Ethan.

"Who's Herbie?" asked Tommy.

"My car," said Kim.

"You named your car?"

"It's a long story," said Kira.

"Well, anyway we can use the main invisaportal network to get out of here," said Tommy, as he pressed buttons a small portal opened in the lab, "This way."

"Wait a minute," said Ethan, "we need to talk."

"Go!" said Tommy, "I'll explain later."

"We know everything," said Conner.

"Kim showed us the video diary," said Kira.

"We know you and her are Power Rangers," said Ethan.

"Were," said Tommy, "not anymore."

"Well," said Kim, "I wouldn't say that." Then she showed Tommy her bracelet.

Before Tommy had a chance to respond Mesagog, Elsa, Zeltrax, the Pollinator, and some Tyrannodrones entered the lab. And Mesagog said, "Ranger or not, your mine now!"

"I hate it when he gets like this," said Tommy.

"We'll take it from here, Dr. O," said Conner, "Ready?"

"Ready," replied Kira, Ethan, and Kim.

"DinoThunder, Power Up!" said the Rangers in unison.

"Attack!" said Mesagog, and Elsa, Zeltrax, the Pollinator, and the Tyrannodrones charged toward The Rangers. Conner was fighting Zeltrax, Ethan and Kira were taking on the Pollinator & the Tyrannodrones, Kim was fighting with Elsa, and Tommy had his hands full with Mesagog. Mesagog picked Tommy up and threw him across the room like a rag doll.

Kim saw this and cried out, "Tommy!"

"Head for the portal!" said Tommy, "I have to get something!"

"But…" said Kira.

"Hurry!"

"Come on, guys," said Kim, "Tommy knows what he's doing." And with that the four Rangers jumped into the open portal. They appeared in the same hallway they left Herbie and just as they were getting in him, Tommy appeared behind them.

"Hey," said Ethan.

"You made it," said Kira.

Kim looked at Tommy and saw the large crystal like stone he was carrying, "Do we really need a souvenir?"

"This one we do," said Tommy. Just then Elsa, Zeltrax, the Pollinator, and the Tyrannodrones came running down the hallway. "Go! I'm right behind you." The Rangers got in Herbie and took off into the open portal, Tommy jumped in right after them. They appeared near a park near the business district and when Herbie came to a stop, the Rangers quickly got out and Conner said, "Where is he?"

Just then, Tommy appeared in front of them. And, Mesagog's minions appeared right behind him. Then, Zeltrax shot a bolt of energy out of his sword, Tommy used the stone to block the energy and soon the stone exploded in a ball of white light. When, the light subsided, Tommy was gone. Where he stood, there was only small pieces of the stone he was carrying.

"No! Tommy!" said Kim, as she fell to her knees.

Kira kneed down and started to comfort her teammate, "This can't be happing."

"Such negativity, haven't you learned?" said Elsa, "In our world, anything's possible."

"Even the destruction of the great Dr. Tommy Oliver," said Zeltrax.

"I heard my name," said Tommy, as he started to rematerialize, "You missed me, Didn't you Zeltrax?"

The Rangers ran over to Tommy,

"Awesome!" said Kira.

"All right!" said Ethan.

Kim smacked him on the head and said, "Don't you ever do that again!"

"What's that?" said Conner, as Tommy's hand started to glow. Tommy opened up his hand and in it was a Black Dino Gem.

"A Black Dino Gem," said Ethan, "Let me guess, the power of invisibility."

"Looks like it," said Tommy.

"That gem belongs to my master," said Elsa

"There are two things you guys need to learn about Dino Gems," said Tommy, "One: You can't choose them, they chose you."

"What's the other?" said Elsa.

"They go great with Dino Morphers," said Tommy, as he raised his arm and a Dino Morpher appeared on his wrist. Then, Tommy put the Dino Gem in the Morpher.

Elsa looked at him and said, "Aren't you a bit old for this, Tommy?"

"I might be old. But, I can still pull it off," said Tommy, "Dino Thunder, Power Up!" And then Tommy became the Black Ranger. "Just like riding a bike."

"One or two more makes no difference," said Zeltrax, "Attack!" Then, Mesagog's minions charged toward The Rangers. Tommy fought off the Tyrannodrones and then started to fight Zeltrax. Kira, Kim, and Ethan went after the Pollinator, And, Conner was busy fighting Elsa. After Elsa retreated, Conner went to help the other four with the Pollinator. And, the four of them easily defeated the Pollinator. But, Mesagog activated the Hydro Regenerator and the Pollinator grew to 30 stories tall.

By this time, Zeltrax had retreated and Tommy rejoined his team, his morpher beeped and Haley's voice came out of it, "Welcome back. I have a little homecoming present for you. I found it on the north side of the forest." The rangers felt the earth shake and saw a large black Zord heading toward them. "Meet the Brachiozord. Retrieving the Black Gem must have awakened him." The Rangers looked at it in awe. "Wait till you see what he has inside. I think you can handle it from here." Three compartments opened up and the Tyrannozord, Tricerazord, and the two Pterazords came out. Kim and the teenage Rangers took control of their respective Zords, formed the Megazord, and defeated the Pollinator.

Later, at Haley's Cyberspace, the Rangers were talking over the day's events. Ethan, Conner, and Kira were sitting on one couch, with Haley sitting on the arm, and Tommy and Kim were sitting on the other couch

"What a day," said Ethan. "New car, New Rangers, well kind of new."

"Dr. O," said Kira, "are you going to tell us how you happened to have that morpher ready?"

"Soon after you three became Rangers, I got an energy reading on the tracking system. I had a good idea it was another Gem. So, I had Haley build a morpher, just in case," said Tommy.

"And the day of my gig?"

"I was coming to tell you guys that that the energy had moved and we needed to investigate."

"When you got nabbed by the Goon Patrol," said Conner, "brutal."

"Yeah, but it all turned out OK," said Tommy.

"Well, come on, Tommy," said Kim, as she stood up, "we better get going."

"Yeah," said Tommy as he stood up.

"Going?" asked Haley, "Where are you two going?"

"Shopping," said Kim.

"I check my closet this morning," said Tommy, "and there is a serious shortage of black in there."

The teenagers laughed, and then Tommy and Kim walked out of the Cyberspace….
