I Will Remember You:
Hey, thanks to all that reviewed my 3rd chapter. For those of you think that it was sort of rushed...well, it actually wasn't. I had to keep readjusting the situation & do a lot of editing. It was the song itself that was hard for me to put. Anyway...like I said... I WAS going to add the little 'cross-culture' in this chapter. But...that's after the battle is done. Not to mention... a surprise appearance from some old friends. For those of you that have read my chapters, I'm sure you know which ones I'm referring to. Oh... and as for the author 'Leap of Fate', I am sorry if I had seemed to have copied your little 'Ninja' theory. I have to admit...I'm always surprised & impressed with Japanese technology. Interesting, advanced, & as usual, MEGA cool. I was also going to add some lines from previous episodes, except...they apply only to Tommy.

Chapter 4: The Rematch: Kimberly's Rescue & the Rangers against the Archer.
As the 3 Rangers headed off to the city, Archbomber was having a really good time causing mayhem, panic, & destruction. Meanwhile... Tommy headed to the pier, hoping to find Kimberly & get his anger on Zeltrax.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha. That's right, run you little runts. Run while you still can. Ha, ha, ha, ha," laughed Archbomber evilly.
"That's far enough creep," said Connor.
"You've already caused enough trouble for one day," said Kira.
"It's time for some payback," said Ethan.
"Oh... so you're back for more lessons in pain I see. Well I don't mind in giving you guys another demonstration," said Archbomber.
"You guys ready?" said Connor.
"Ready," said Ethan & Kira as their communicators became morphers.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP! HA," they said together.
"Tyranno power," said Connor.
"Tricera power," said Ethan.
"Ptera power," said Kira.
"Tyrannodrones, attack," commanded Archbomber, as an invisoportal opened & some tyrannodrones fell from it.
"Let do it. Thunder max saber," said Connor, taking out his sword.
"Right with ya Connor," said Ethan.
"Right behind you guys," said Kira, as they also took out their swords.
As the tyrannodrones surged forward, Archbomber tried to make his escape. Unfortunately for him, Connor kept up using his agility & struck with his sword, but despite the effort again, he got knocked back.
Meanwhile, Tommy arrived at the pier, searching for any sign of Kimberly.
'Where could she be?' wondered Tommy.
"So... you've decided to show up I see," said Zeltrax.
"Huh?" said Tommy, turned around & saw both Zeltrax & Kimberly. He also saw Kimberly tied up over the water.
"Tommy...help," pleaded Kimberly.
"Let her go, Zeltrax. This is just between you & me," said Tommy.
"Most unlikely. If you think you can defeat me & save her, guess again," said Zeltrax.
"Don't be so sure," said Tommy, taking out his staff. "Let's go."
As they both charged at each other, both struck at the same time, giving small damage to their opponent. Zeltrax kept attacking, while Tommy kept dodging or blocking, trying to get the upper hand on him. Suddenly, Zeltrax caught him off guard & struck with his lightning attack. Luckily, Tommy was able to do a small somersault to dodge the attack & struck back with his own attack from his staff.
"Argh," screamed Zeltrax, being thrown back.
"Is that all you got?" asked Tommy.
"Ha, ha ha. As if I hadn't come prepared," said Zeltrax. "Take a look closely at those crates Black Ranger."
Tommy tried to observe from a distance, until he finally saw it. A candle was lit & under the rope Kimberly was tied on.
"Grrr... you slime," gritted Tommy.
"What's the matter Tommy, running out of time?" mocked Zeltrax.
"As if. Your days have run out Zeltrax," said Tommy, as he charged again for another attack. Only to be thrown back from another attack. This time... by Elsa.
"Oh great. More problems," said Tommy.
"I find it to be most unlikely, Dr. Oliver," said Elsa.
"We'll see about that," said Tommy, as he tried fighting both of them.
He tried his best fending them off. Luckily, lady luck was on his side. As Trent came by to help. He interfered with Elsa's attack, & threw her off, causing her to hit the crates hard.
"Whose side are you on today, Trent?" asked Tommy.
"Like you really had to ask," replied Trent.
"Not you again," complained Elsa.
"That's not all," said a voice.
"Huh?" wondered Zeltrax.
"Jason," said Tommy, relieved having to see his old friend fight alongside with him. "You have no idea how glad I am to see you."
"We'll talk later. Right now, let's take care of these guys," said Jason.
"Even if you had your students with you, you would still be no match for me or our monster. It would be easier for you to just surrender now...or pay the price," said Zeltrax.
"Man, I hate it when he says that," said Tommy.
"Let's do it," said Trent.
"Triptoids, attack," commanded Zeltrax as they appeared through an invisoportal & began to attack the trio.
Back at the battle between the Rangers & Archbomber, Archbomber had just sent a volley of arrows their way. As if that wasn't enough...he also sent those target boards which also explode as soon as he sets them off, causing them to fall back down to the ground. Connor at first remembered the last time they battled. But as soon as Archbomber sent those target boards, he suddenly had an idea.
"Guys, leave this one to me," said Connor.
"Why?" asked Ethan.
"You'll get pummeled," said Kira.
"Trust me, I've got it," said Connor.
"Connor...we're a team. And we don't leave anyone behind, not even a fellow leader," said Kira.
"Kira's right, I mean how else can we let you handle that thing by yourself without being busted for it? Let us help, Connor," said Ethan.
"You think you can defeat me that easily? Ha! You're dumber than I thought," said Archbomber.
"We'll see who gets the last laugh after this," said Connor, preparing himself for battle, taking out his sword.
As they fought, Connor tried to find a way for his opponent to send those boards again. He was able to fend Archbomber off for a while, until finally, Connor suddenly sensed his chance.
"How about a bit of target practice?" said Archbomber, sending the target boards.
"You're the one who needs practice. Take this," said Connor as he kicked each one of the boards right back at Archbomber, who took the hit as soon as it made contact with him.
"All right guys, let him have it," said Connor.
Just as Connor gave the signal... both Ethan & Kira were in the air, took out their blasters, & gave Archbomber a taste of his own medicine.
"Now that's what I call Dino power," said Ethan.
To make things even easier, Haley had just called them on their communicators.
'Guys, I've got a lock on Archbomber's weak point,' said Haley.
"Great, but, where is it?" asked Kira.
"I'm not finished with you yet," said Archbomber.
'Aim for the left arm,' said Haley, simply.
"The left arm? What'll that do?" asked Ethan.
'Take a look at it first,' said Haley.
"Um guys... can you tell Haley to just explain it already?" asked Connor.
Ethan & Kira tried to look closer, until Kira suddenly got a quick glance at what Haley was referring to.
"Of course. It's a cannon," said Kira.
"So if we can find a way to fire his arrows..." said Ethan.
"Back at the cannon..." continued Kira.
"That'll destroy his armor," they said together.
'Exactly,' said Haley.
"Thanks for the tip, Haley," said Ethan.
"All right guys, lets do this," said Connor, taking out his tyranno staff.
"Later, Rangers," laughed Archbomber & disappeared.
"Man... he always keeps retreating. How are we supposed to beat this guy...when he always runs?" wondered Ethan.
"I'm not sure. Anyway... we better ask Haley where Dr. O is," said Kira.
"Good idea," said Connor.
"Wait... didn't he say that he had something personal to take care of?" asked Ethan.
"Unless it's a personal battle......we better go see what it is, just in case. Besides... Dr. O might need our help if Mesogog's creeps are behind it all," said Connor.
"He's right. I mean... he is our teacher after all," said Kira.
"And also a fellow Ranger," added Ethan.
"Yeah...that too," said Connor.
"So......what are we just standing here & debating it for... let's go," said Ethan.
"But...do you have any idea where Dr. O might be?" asked Kira.
"To answer your question.........uh......no," said Ethan.
'Don't worry guys. I've got it covered,' said Haley, over their communicators.
"So... where is he?" asked Connor.
'Just give me a minute, Mr. Super Impatient,' said Haley. This suddenly brought a small laugh from Kira & Ethan.
"Yeah. Ha, ha, ha. Laugh it up," said Connor, not amused.
"Geez, come on, Connor, you gotta learn when to lighten up a bit," said Ethan.
"Ethan's right. You're too.........uptight on things," said Kira.
"Uptight? As if..." said Connor, still not amused.
'Hold your horses, guys. I think I've got it,' said Haley.
"Where is he?" asked Ethan.
'Down by the pier, a few miles not from where the old warehouse collapsed from Dragozord's appearance,' said Haley.
"Wait a minute... I know where that is," said Connor.
"Duh! We all know where that is," said Kira.
'I'm sending over the Raptor Riders. It should get you there in no time. Hopefully,' said Haley.
"Thanks Haley," said Connor.
Just like she said... the Raptor Riders came right on schedule. And not a moment too soon as well.
"All right," said Ethan, as he hopped on his.
"Perfect timing," said Kira, as she got on hers.
"Now let's go help Dr. O," said Connor, as he got on his.
"Right behind you, Connor," said Kira, as she followed Connor.
"Wait for me," said Ethan, as he followed the two.
Meanwhile...back at the pier, Zeltrax & Elsa were fighting Trent & Tommy. While Jason fended off the Triptoids, but was taken down a few times by the metal sticks they held. Jason knew that without his morpher, he was defenseless. that he & Tommy fought with other Red Rangers from other seasons on the moon to stop the Generals from reviving Serpentera, he knew that sooner or later he would have to explain later on how he got it back.
Zeltrax tried to catch Tommy off guard in order to strike, so he tried to land an aerial attack by using his sword & launching the lightning strike from it towards Tommy. Fortunately, Tommy dodged the attack by doing a backflip & landed on one of the crates & struck back with his staff.
"Brachio staff... fire," said Tommy, as his staff unleashed its own attack on Zeltrax, causing him to be blasted back towards some crates hard & take a hard beating. As if that wasn't enough, Tommy sent one more attack on Zeltrax.
"Brachio staff...energy ball," said Tommy, as he rotated his sword in a circular formation & sent the energy ball straight towards Zeltrax, causing him to blown back along with Elsa, whom Trent managed to fend off.
"Face it Dr. O, your friend is weak. And soon to be destroyed," said Zeltrax.
"That is so not going to happen," said Jason, as he finally threw back all the Triptoids & managed to get on his feet. Zeltrax tried to attack by launching another lightning strike from his sword, but Jason was able to dodge it by rolling to the left.
"Now you've really made me mad. It's morphing time," said Jason, taking out his morpher. "Tyrannosaurs!" he called out, & was once again filled with power from the dinosaur & wearing the suit that he wore back then......all those years ago.
"What? Another red Ranger," wondered Trent.
"So... we finally meet the original red Ranger," said Zeltrax. "Mesogog is going to be pleased when I finish off one of your old teammates, Dr. Oliver."
"SO not going to happen," said Jason.
"Triptoids, tyrannodrones, attack," commanded Zeltrax.
As they all surged forward, so did Tommy, Jason, & Trent. But as if that wasn't enough to complicate things......Archbomber appeared once again.
"Oh great, more bad news," said Tommy.
"Hey, don't start the party without me," said Archbomber, trying to get into the fight, but instead... was blasted off from a few lasers...from the Dino Rangers.
"Dr. O," called out Connor.
"Good timing guys," said Tommy.
"Ahhhh... Tommy... someone...help," screamed Kimberly, as the rope slowly began to break apart.
"Hang on Kimberly," said Tommy.
"Oh now THAT is just SO messed up," said Ethan.
"Uh... Ethan, try to pay a little attention here," said Connor.
As the 3 Dino Rangers fought against Archbomber, Zeltrax suddenly began to laugh as he realized that Dr. O's time is about to run out.
"Your time to save your girl, is about to run out, Dr. Oliver," said Zeltrax.
"That's what you think," said Tommy, as he fended off a few triptoids & tyrannodrones.
Once the Rangers were able to fend off Archbomber for a while, Kira suddenly noticed the rope that was slowly starting to burn away & spotted a candle right under it. Realizing what the whole situation is about, she knew someone had to take care of things.
"Guys, there's someone tied up there," said Kira, pointing to where Kimberly was.
"What... you can't be serious," said Ethan.
"She IS serious," said Connor.
"That's Kimberly up there," said Jason.
The 3 Rangers looked at Jason for a second & were completely awe struck with what they saw. Or in simpler terms... in major shock.
"No way... another Red Ranger?" wondered Ethan.
"Ok. This is getting confusing," said Kira.
"Don't worry about it right now. Right now, you've got to save Kimberly," said Jason, as he fought off triptoids & tyrannodrones.
"Well... looks like there's only one way to handle this," said Connor.
"SUPER DINO MODE!" they said together, as the plates from their suits began to come out, while Connor & Ethan's 'Super Dino mode' had plates, Kira's 'Super Dino mode' had plates & wings.
"Guys... I'll go get Kimberly. Do you think you guys can manage by yourselves?" asked Kira.
"We'll be fine. Go," said Ethan.
"All right," said Kira, taking flight & heading to where Kimberly was tied up.
"Not so fast," said Zeltrax, who fended off Tommy, & was about to launch his attack on Kira, until he got interrupted by Connor.
"Guess again, creep," said Connor, as he fought off some tyrannodrones & triptoids with his Thunder Max Saber & went straight for Zeltrax & struck him on the side, causing him to fire his attack in the wrong direction & stumble back.
Kira almost lost her control when the attack came, but luckily she was able to reach Kimberly, but not before some tyrannodrones blocked her way & one tyrannodrone attacked from above.
"Hey, get off me," said Kira, as she fought off the tyrannodrone that was on her with her Ptera grips & fought off the remaining tyrannodrones with ease, from her 'Super Dino mode'. But then she suddenly noticed the rope was about to break, & quickly got back on her feet. Yet as soon as she did, Kimberly was suddenly starting to fall quickly into the water at a fast rate.
"Hang on," said Kira, as she took flight again & Kimberly, luckily was able to hold onto Kira, as she was brought to a safe area, away from the battle.
"Are you ok?" asked Kira.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks," said Kimberly.
"Hey... no problem, Kimberly," said Kira. Then she suddenly added, "Oops."
"Hey... how'd you know my name?" asked Kimberly.
"Uh......just a wild guess, I guess," said Kira. "Listen... stay here, until we're done, k?"
"And to just watch & see Tommy in trouble & leaving me out of it? I don't think so," said Kimberly.
"If you're trying to help, how exactly can you do that if you no longer have your powers? I mean...without it... your helpless," said Kira.
"Who said I was 'powerless'?" shot back Kimberly.
"Huh?" wondered Kira.
"Stand back, & watch & learn," said Kimberly, & Kira did so, just wondering what in the world she was talking about.
"I need Ninja Ranger Power, now," called out Kimberly, & in a bright flash of pink light, she had her Ninja suit back on.
"Whoa, I SO did not see that coming," said Kira, in major awe.
Unfortunately for them, Zeltrax & Elsa picked up the energy readings in seconds & went to see what was going on. Tommy, Jason, & the others tried to follow, but some of the triptoids & tyrannodrones got in the way. Luckily, Jason & Connor were able to fend them off. Tommy & Ethan were about to follow Zeltrax & Elsa, but Tommy turned back quickly & asked, "Will you guys be ok?"
"We'll be fine, just get going," said Connor, fighting off the triptoids.
"Hurry... before those goons get their hands on Kimberly," said Jason, fighting off the tyrannodrones.
"All right," said Tommy, with Ethan following right behind.
But just as they got there, Zeltrax, Elsa, & Archbomber were already fighting Kira & Kimberly. Tommy was quite surprised that Kimberly got back her Ninja form. Ethan was the most shocked.
"Hey Tommy," said Kimberly, fighting off Elsa.
"Glad you made it," said Kira, fighting off Archbomber.
"That's her?" asked Ethan, still in shock.
"We'll talk about it later. Right now... let's just take care of the problem in front of us," said Tommy.
"You got it, Dr. O," said Ethan.
"You're mine, Black Ranger," said Zeltrax.
"Bring it, Zeltrax," said Tommy, as he charged with his staff ready in hand.
As Zeltrax & Tommy resumed their fighting, Ethan & Kira tried to attack Archbomber with their sabers, but unfortunately...they were ineffective on Archbomber's tough armor. Elsa kept attacking Kimberly with her sword, but Kimberly, luckily, was able to catch & stop her sword with her foot. "I am NOT intimidated by your 'so-called' boyfriend," said Elsa.
"Speak for yourself," said Kimberly, who did a roundhouse kick to Elsa's side, causing her to stumble back. She was about to attack again, but Elsa took out her sword & tried to strike back, only to make Kimberly knock the sword away with another round house kick, & hit Elsa right in the chest with a side kick follow-up, causing Elsa to be thrown back hard onto the crates. Elsa... struggling to get back on her feet said, "This isn't over Pink Ranger". And with that said... she disappeared.
Meanwhile, Tommy & Zeltrax were both going at it with their swords. Tommy managed to block Zeltrax's attack, causing their swords to lock onto each other for a minute.
"This doesn't have to be that way, Schmidt," said Tommy.
"That weak human being no longer exists. The only thing that DOES exist is my revenge on you," said Zeltrax, breaking the lock on their swords.
Tommy was able to dodge the attack quickly enough, & tried to attack Zeltrax with his sword, but got it blocked by Zeltrax's sword, causing them to grind on each other & push both fighters back. Tommy was able to launch a counterattack on Zeltrax, but had to dodge Zeltrax's lightning attack first by doing a forward somersault & then launching his own attack right on Zeltrax.
Once Tommy was back on the ground, he asked, "Is that all you've got, or do you want some more?"
"This isn't over...not even by a long shot," said Zeltrax as he charged once again towards Tommy. And they went at it once again, Zeltrax dealing the blows & Tommy trying to block them with his staff. Tommy quickly spotted an opportunity, when he struck back & Zeltrax blocked his attack, managed to kick him in the chest, causing him to stumble back. Suddenly, he saw Kimberly trying to help Kira & Ethan fight the monster & had an evil idea.
"Try & see if you can stop this," said Zeltrax launching his lightning attack on Kimberly.
"Kimberly......watch out," called out Tommy.
"Aghhhhhhhh," screamed Kimberly, as the blast blew her backwards & hit her on the crates hard & making her lose consciousness.
"NO!" yelled Tommy.
"Ha, ha, ha. Looks like your so-called friend has failed you. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha." said Zeltrax, laughing evilly.
Tommy ran quickly over to her side, joined by Kira & Ethan, who managed to fend off Archbomber long enough to stall for time. Kimberly slowly regaining conscious, tried to speak, but Tommy hushed her.
"I-I'm sorry, Tommy. I-I was just t-trying to...," struggled Kimberly.
"Shh... try not to speak. You're gonna be ok Beautiful," said Tommy.
Kimberly suddenly blushed at Tommy's remark. It had been a long time since he called her that. Ever since that day when she sent him that letter, she had really broken his heart. Now she felt that the only way to pay the price, was trying to help the team, risking her own to help them.
Just then......Jason & Connor had arrived after their fight with the tyrannodrones & triptoids. Jason suddenly saw Kimberly, lying on the ground, obviously hit from an attack.
"How'd this happen?" asked Jason.
"She got hit by Zeltrax's attack," said Kira.
"Who's Zeltrax?" asked Jason.
"That guy," said Ethan, pointing to the metallic warrior with the green sword.
"I had to ask," said Jason. "Listen... I'll take Kim someplace safe. You think you guys can handle these freaks?"
"Don't worry, we've got it," said Connor. Then Jason took the hint & left them.
"Fleeing already? Had enough have you?" said Archbomber.
"That's what you think, you creep," said Connor.
"SUPER DINO MODE," the 3 Rangers, & the plates came out from their suits.
"Super what kind of mode?" wondered Archbomber in shock.
"Dr. O, Haley's finally found a weak spot on this Archer," said Ethan.
"Really? That's great. Where?" asked Tommy.
"See that cannon on Archbomber's left arm?" asked Kira.
"Yeah... why?" asked Connor.
"That's its weak point," said Ethan & Kira, together.
"Dr. O, you've got the reflector shield, right?" asked Connor.
"Never leave without it," said Tommy, taking it out.
"You think you can defeat me with that puny thing?" asked Archbomber.
"Keep talking, creep. Now you're going to get a lesson of pain from us," said Connor.
"Oh yeah... how so?" asked Archbomber.
"First of all... for messing with my friends, second... for messing with my students, & third...you've messed with the wrong Ranger & ticked me off," said Tommy, taking out his staff.
"Oooh...like I'm SOooo scared," said the archer, sarcastically.
"We'll give you something to be scared about," said Connor, as he charged for Archbomber, with Ethan & Kira right behind him.
"Looks like it's just between you & me, Zeltrax," said Tommy.
"You're girl couldn't even save herself. How is it that you think you can try to defeat me?" asked Zeltrax.
"It looks like we're going to have to see about that, won't we. SUPER DINO MODE," said Tommy, as the plates began to appear from his suit.
"Let's go," said Zeltrax.
"Bring it," said Tommy, as he charged towards Zeltrax.
The two struck the other at the same time & this time, Tommy was the one sending the attacks towards Zeltrax, & Zeltrax was starting to have a hard time trying to block them. Suddenly, Tommy locked their swords again, & this time... Tommy began to push Zeltrax all the way back to the wall & slashed down on Zeltrax hard. Then... Tommy unleashed his strongest attacks on Zeltrax in a huge blaze of fury.
"Brachio staff, fire strike," said Tommy, then turning the knob on the fire symbol & sent a huge blaze of fire on Zeltrax, causing him to be blown back hard.
"Brachio staff...energy ball attack," said Tommy, as he rotated his staff to a full circle. "Strike now," he said, & hit the energy ball straight towards Zeltrax, trapping him & the energy striking him within it.
"Brachio staff... fire," Tommy said, as he unleashed his laser attack on Zeltrax, causing him to be completely weakened. After those set of attacks, he struggled to get back on his feet, but the attacks had taken his toll on him completely he could barely do so, let alone... stand up.
"This isn't the end of our battle Dr. Oliver. I swear to you, one day I will return to wreak my revenge on you," said Zeltrax, & with that said, he disappeared through an invisoportal.
Once Zeltrax had left, Archbomber was giving the 3 Rangers a hard pounding. As Tommy headed back to the battle between the 3 Rangers & Archbomber, he suddenly noticed that they were all beaten up pretty badly.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Is that all you've got? Looks pretty pathetic to me," said Archbomber, laughing evilly.
"Guys... you ok?" asked Tommy.
"Hardly," said Connor.
"More likely......trounced," said Kira.
"Looks like this is the end for you Rangers," said Archbomber.
"Don't count on it," said a voice.
"Huh?" wondered Archbomber.
"Jason," said Tommy.
"What? Another Red Ranger," said Archbomber.
"Why don't you pick on someone of your own size, bomb head," said Jason.
"Perfect timing," said Connor.
"A second Red Ranger? Ok, I'm like TOTALLY confused here," said Kira.
"We'll explain later. Right now, let's take care of this bozo," said Tommy.
"You guys don't stand a chance against me," said Archbomber.
"Guess again, creep," said Jason, taking out his blaster & firing it at Archbomber, causing Archbomber to fire his arrows at the Rangers.
"That's our cue," said Connor.
"Try this on for size," said Tommy, taking out the reflector shield, causing it to hit the shield & redirect its attack right back into the cannon.
Suddenly the cannon started to glow, & Archbomber looked at his left arm in worry.
"W-what's happening to my cannon...aghhhhh," screamed Archbomber, as his cannon exploded, causing his armor to fall to the ground, smoked.
"My protective armor. It's gone," panicked Archbomber.
"Now let's take care of this archer," said Connor. "Tyranno staff."
"Tricera shield," called out Ethan.
"Ptera grips," called out Kira.
"Power sword," said Jason, taking out his sword.
"Couldn't have said it better myself," said Tommy, taking out his staff.
As soon as they were ready, they all took to the air & launched an aerial attack on Archbomber.
"Brachio staff, energy ball," called out Tommy, as he rotated the staff into a full circle & launched it straight at Archbomber.
"Power sword, power up," said Jason, as his sword began to glow, & charged at Archbomber with his sword, causing him to fall back.
Then the 3 Dino Rangers attack Archbomber with their weapons, causing him to fall back & tumble down some flight of stairs & into some tables.
"Let's put 'em together guys," said Connor.
And with that said... they combined the tyranno staff, tricera shield, ptera grips, & brachio staff to form............
"Z-Rex blaster," they said together.
"Uh-oh...I'm outta here," said Archbomber, as he tried to run away.
"Ready," said Kira.
"Aim," said Ethan.
"Fire," said Connor & Tommy in unison.
"Oh no......ahh...ahhhhhhh," cried out Archbomber, as the blast came on him full force & destroyed him.
"We did it," said Ethan.
"Good job guys," said Tommy.
Back at Mesogog's fortress...Mesogog watched the battle from a monitor on the hydro-regenerator.
"This...isn't possible," said Mesogog.
"We are sorry, master. We should have foreseen this coming," said Zeltrax.
"Must I do everything myself?" asked Mesogog. "Activate," he said once he activated the hydro-regenerator.
As soon as the hydro-regenerator activated, a capsule broke & dark clouds appeared & rain began to fall & regenerate Archbomber, causing him to be bigger & badder than before.
"Who's up for some target practice?" asked the huge Archbomber.
"Brachiozord, it's show time," called out Tommy, into his communicator.
Right on cue, the Brachiozord came up & open its compartments, revealing the Tyrannozord, Tricerazord, & Pterazord. As they came out of the Brachiozord, Jason & Kimberly watched the zords from a distance.
"You know what I'm thinking?" asked Kimberly.
"That those zords kind of remind you of the old times," guessed Jason.
"Let's do it," said Connor, running.
"Right behind you, bro," said Ethan.
"All right," said Kira.
They took to the air & entered their zords.
"Tyranno power," Connor said.
"Tricera power," Ethan said.
"Ptera power," Kira said.
"Whoa, now I'm like SO TOTALLY digging this," said Kimberly.
"You can say that again," said Jason.
"Megazord formation," they said together.
Once all 3 zords combined, it formed into the Thundersaurusmegazord.
"On-line," they said together.
"Now THAT's what I call a megazord," said Jason.
"If you think that's good, wait'll you see what's next," said Tommy.
"Ankylozord," called out Ethan.
"Weapon formation," they said together.
As the Ankylozord came walking out of the Brachiozord, the Tricerazord, ejected from the Thundersaurusmegazord, & Ankylozord combined with the megazord, equipped with a shield & another drill.
"Let me guess...all the zords are dinosaurs, right?" asked Kimberly.
"Looks like someone's been doing their research," said Jason.
"Let's just call it...a wild guess," said Kimberly.
"What good will those do? I've got more surprises in store," said Archbomber, as he launched his lasers from his cannon, but the Thundersaurusmegazord counter-attacked, by using the shield as it rotated, deflecting the lasers & causing them to hit Archbomber one, two, three, making him tumble backwards & fall.
"THUNDERSAURUSMEGAZORD, DOUBLE-DRILL ATTACK," they said together. Once the two drills began to spin, they launched their attack & finally hit Archbomber hard with the point of the Ankylozord drill, to complete the attack.
"I've been hit, aghhhhh," screamed Archbomber & exploded, & was no more.
"All right," said Jason.
"Good job guys," said Tommy.
Meanwhile, back at Mesogog's island fortress, Mesogog was unpleased with Zeltrax's & Elsa's progress & was punished when Mesogog used his mind-blast on them.
"That is what you get...for being so useless," said Mesogog.
"We're sorry master. We didn't know that this would have happened," said Zeltrax.
"Excuse after excuse & failure after failure, is all that you two have given me," said Mesogog. "Now go...get out of my sight, or I'll make this punishment...become your worst nightmare."
Meanwhile, at Haley's Cyberspace, Tommy had a little chat with his students about how Jason got back his powers & also the same with Kimberly. It was already 6:30 p.m. by the time they arrived.
"Wait a minute...so you mean to tell us, that when this Serpentera was about to be revived & this Machine Empire was trying to be reborn, that's when you, Jason, & other Red Rangers united to fight against these...generals?" asked Kira, still a bit confused.
"Exactly. Listen...I know this might seem a bit too much for you guys to take in, but... if we hadn't united, Earth...as we know it, would have been completely taken over by the Machine Empire," said Tommy.
"Wow, talk about triple threat major," said Connor.
The others suddenly looked at him as if to say 'What in the world is he talking about?'
"So anyway... all these different Red Rangers are all from different time periods?" asked Connor.
"Uh, hello...weren't you listening to what Dr. O is trying to tell you?" asked Kira.
"Hey, I was just trying to make sure," said Connor.
"Yeah, like SURE you were," said Kira.
"Where's Ethan?" wondered Connor, seeing that he wasn't around.
"Oh he just uh...went to watch some TV," said Haley.
"Exactly...where?" asked Connor.
"Take a wild guess. Where do you think Ethan would go to the most in order to play computer games?" asked Haley.
"Haley's Cyberspace," said Connor.
"Wow, good call Connor," said Kira.
"Hey listen, you don't mind if we just check up on him, that is...as long as it's not closed or anything," said Connor.
"What do you think I left the door open for?" asked Haley.
"Oh...right," said Connor.
"But... I wouldn't quite DO that, so to speak," said Kira.
"I know. I should've locked the doors. But anyway...you guys should go check up on him. Didn't you guys have some homework for History class?" asked Haley.
"Speaking of history, I'm going there right now," said Connor.
"Same here," said Kira, following him.
Meanwhile, at Haley's Cyberspace, the other 2 Rangers opened the door & suddenly heard some strange sounds coming from a certain area. They looked to fin someone watching television. As they went closer, they found Ethan, just sitting on the couch watching TV, checking random channels.
"Hey guys," said Ethan.
"Dude, what are you doing here?" asked Connor.
"Haley just got a satellite TV. 450 channels, world class racing, junior girl's synchronized swimming," said Ethan, really excited.
"Yeah, ok. Dude, shouldn't you be working on your homework?" asked Connor.
"Actually, I'm nearly done with mine," said Ethan.
"Same here," said Kira.
"Ok, whatever. I'm heading to the library to finish mine up," said Connor, about to leave.
But as soon as he turned his back, some Japanese music theme began to play.
"Whoa," exclaimed Ethan.
"No way," said Kira, in complete shock.
"Connor, you've gotta check this out," said Ethan.
Connor, once again interrupted in his work, went to check what got him so psyched up.
"Hey, it's us," said Ethan.
Connor looked a bit closer & saw a Japanese person as the Blue Ranger & quickly noticed the difference.
"Not quite...exactly," said Connor.
"What is it?" asked Kira.
"According to the TV guide, it's a show about the 'World Famous Power Rangers'. And they dubbed it in English," said Ethan.
"Whoa, we're a TV show in Japan?" exclaimed Kira, too shocked to believe what she was hearing.
As the trio watched the episode, Connor suddenly began to notice something about the Red Ranger & couldn't seem to stand it.
"Dude, that guy's personality is SO unlike mine," said Connor.
"Connor, just because it's in a different language, doesn't mean that it's the same thing," said Kira.
Just then...Ken, the Blue Ranger, spotted a famous American baseball star on the back of the newspaper.
"Whoa, Whacker Wilson's coming to Japan," said Ken.
"Are you serious?" asked the Red Ranger.
"That's what it says," said Ken, putting down the paper & proceeded to make his curry.
As it continued, they saw what looked like to be the boss's sister, considering that the antagonist was female. They continued to watch & Connor suddenly found something quite odd... or rather...stupid in their plan. The boss's monster henchmen came up with a plan to make a monster that would create bad hair days.
"That's their plan, bad hair?" asked Connor, finding it boring.
"I've seen you with some bad hair days. It's...kinda freaky," said Kira.
After a certain number of minutes, the other's looked at it & the Red Ranger asked, "What is it?"
"Curry, fruit surprise. It's good. Try it," said Ken.
The trio turned back & began to discuss it among themselves. Obviously, they had seen it before & every time someone eats it, they feel sick.
"I can't eat that, I'll hurl," said the Red Ranger.
"I have acid reflux," said the little assistant.
"Hey guys," said Mike, the Black Ranger.
"Hey, Mikey," said the Red Ranger.
"You guys got anything to eat?" Mike asked.
Just then, they showed him the fruit curry that Ken made & began to wolf it down fast & the Red Ranger thought that he liked it, but it turned out to be the opposite, making him run to the bathroom & throwing up a lot.
Suddenly, the monitor began picking up some alien monster readings.
"There's some alien monster activity going on in town," said the Red Ranger.
"But what about Mike?" asked the Yellow Ranger.
"We'll just have to deal with this by ourselves," said the Red Ranger.
Meanwhile, the 3 Rangers continued to watch the Japanese version of themselves go against a monster that was a cross between a bear, mushroom, & a cash register.
"That's what they call a monster? A bear-mushroom-money combination monster? Dude, that is SO a guy in a suit," said Connor.
"Hey...has there ever been any monsters that we've been fighting look weird to you?" asked Kira. "Doesn't look any different to the ones that we've been fighting."
"My name's Ka-ching & I going to rule the world with greed," said the monster & spotted some citizens & gave them a really bad hair day by firing the mushrooms causing them to have different hair styles.
"Hey...freakshow, stop," said the Red Ranger.
"Hold it right there," said the Yellow Ranger.
"That's enough," said Ken.
"Looks like you guys could use a new do," said Ka-ching.
"Ready?" said the leader.
"Ready," replied the other two.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP, HA!" they said together & transformed into their costumes.
"Very impressive. But I brought along some special guest stars. Triptoids," he commanded, & they appeared & fought against the Rangers.
"You start fighting, I'll pay you cash," said Ka-ching. "Here, have a mushroom," said Ka-ching as he fired his mushrooms at the Rangers fighting off the Triptoids.
"Red Ranger," said the leader.
"Yellow Ranger," said the Yellow Ranger.
"Blue Ranger," said Ken.
"Wimpy Rangers," they said. "And my hair has bounce," said the Red Ranger.
"Dude, they're making fun of us," said Connor, as he watched, not liking it one bit.
"It's just a TV show," said Kira. "It's not even a whole episode."
Just as they continued fighting, an American citizen had shown up. He was wearing some sort of jacket & held a bag in his left hand. Ka-ching suddenly spotted him & decided to give him a hairdo. But as soon as he fired his mushroom, the American retaliated by taking out a baseball bat & hit it straight back at Ka-ching, giving him the hairdo.
"Hey, that's not funny," said Ka-ching.
The Triptoids also noticed it & found it quite amusing.
"Hey...it's only funny when I do it," said Ka-ching & disappeared.
"Hey, who's that?" wondered the Yellow Ranger.
As soon as they had powered down & the American stepped forward, he took off his hood & only then, did Ken recognize him.
"You're Whacker Wilson, the famous American baseball player," said Ken.
"Good fight you put out there. I was impressed," said Wilson, & was about to leave, when he got interrupted.
"Hey, wait a minute...what are you doing here in Japan?" asked the Red Ranger.
"I've been having this back pain for quite a while. I've been told that Japan's best chiropractor's here," said Wilson. "Someone named Ken."
"That's him," they said, pointing to him. Ken was taken aback a bit & surprised.
Whacker Wilson turned his back & looked at them & said, "Really?"
Meanwhile, as the other two Rangers watched Ken work his magic on Wilson's back, Wilson started to panic a bit when he felt the pain increase each second.
"Is it over yet," asked Wilson, still feeling the pain.
"Almost done," said Ken, continuing to work his magic on Wilson's back.
After a few more seconds, Ken was finished.
"Jeez man, what did you do to my back? You could've almost put it out of line," said Wilson.
"Before you make anymore complaints, try your back," said Ken.
"Oh...right," said Wilson, & stood still for a moment. Then he became very impressed for his back was no longer aching & began to do some sort of a victory dance. Wilson was impressed with Ken's skills & was going to tell people about him, & thinking that he could become rich. But Ken refused the offer & said he had more important things, like protecting the city from evil invaders as a Power Ranger. Wilson asked if there was any money in it...but the Blue Ranger said it didn't cost a thing.
"Nice meeting you Whacker Wilson. Enjoy your stay in Japan," said Ken.
"Well...at least I've learned one thing," said Kira.
"What? That Power Rangers are total dufuses?" asked Connor.
"No...that money isn't everything," said Kira.
But then... a few minutes later, Wilson was attacked by Ka-ching & Connor...being completely ticked off by what just happened, blocked the screen & from the looks of it...wasn't very pleased.
"Ok. Making fun of us is one thing, but to make fun of American Sports Stars? Where's your pride?" asked Connor, really starting to hate it.
"Hey...would you just chill? It's not even a whole episode," said Kira.
"Do you guys not even get the point? THIS is what they think of us...in Japan," retorted Connor, really ticked off.
"Ok, fine. If that's the way you feel about it...then go ahead & write to them. The National guard, the President, whatever," said Ethan.
"Yeah. But as of right now, I just want to see if the Rangers can make Wilson learn the error of his ways," said Kira. you please...?"
"MOVE," said Ethan & Kira.
Connor, annoyed with the argument, decided to leave to do his history assignment.
But Ethan suddenly noticed Connor forgot his bag. "He'll be back," he said, with a grin.
"How can you be so sure?" asked Kira.
"Cause he forgot this," Ethan said, holding up Connor's bag.
A few seconds later, Connor noticed he forgot his bag & went to go get it. But by the time he was about to, Kira stopped him & said, "Just give it a chance, ok?"
Connor, sighing in frustration, decided to watch the rest of the episode.
As Ken began to walk around town, he was suddenly in shock at what he had just seen. The people began to demand money.
"I can't believe this. Everyone is being obsessed by money," said Ken.
Just then...he saw Whacker Wilson & saw him carrying bags of cash. He also noticed that when Wilson's hood came off, he saw that Wilson also got attacked by Ka-ching. He was trying to ask about the hairstyle, but Wilson began to fill his hands with cash, trying to pay him back for the back treatment. But just then, Ka-ching appeared once again & attacked Ken, by trapping him in a big load of coins.
The Red & Yellow Ranger had arrived on the scene & wondered who could've kept Ken inside there. Their thoughts went to Wilson, but Ken told them it was Ka-ching who started it all. He transformed into the Blue Ranger & was able to break free.
Connor saw the whole thing & thought to himself, "Cool."
As they fought Ka-ching, he kept attacking with flying coins coming out of the cash register machine that was on him. The fight continued & led them to a pier.
"You keep on fighting, I'll make you rich," said Ka-ching.
"How much money are we talking about?" asked the leader.
The other two looked at him as if to say, 'What has gotten into him?'
"I mean...never," said the Red Ranger, changing his answer.
"You weren't joking were you?" wondered Ken.
"Of course I was. Had you going though, didn't I?" asked the Red Ranger.
"It's time for a little change," said Ka-ching, as he fired the coins from the cash-register on his body, causing the Rangers to stumble.
"Guys...hang on," said a voice.
They turned & saw the Black Ranger heading their way.
"It's the Black Ranger," said the Yellow Ranger.
"Here...take one," said the Black Ranger, getting a piggy bank.
"Oh...so you've brought piggy banks with you huh? Well...let me fill them up," said Ka-ching, as he fired his coins at them.
The Rangers were able to catch a lot of coins, but it didn't hold up for long. Soon, they got bombarded with coins again, causing them to drop the piggy banks.
Just then...Whacker Wilson came with the bulging bags of cash & began bragging about it. Ken tried to make him snap out of it, & knew of only one way.
"Now batting...No. 1, Whacker Wilson. Batter up," said Ken, as he threw the kitten piggy bank at Wilson, hoping he'd snap out of the trance & hit it. Turns out...that he did break it off & hit the piggy bank right back at Ka- ching, knocking him out for a few seconds. But then...a few seconds later... he woke up & charged on the Rangers. The only way to defeat it, was to combine their weapons to form the Z-Rex blaster. As soon as it fired & defeated Ka-ching, Connor just jumped into the air & cheered like crazy, finally starting to enjoy it. As soon as he calmed down, he tried to catch his breath from all the excitement, & said, "That was pretty cool."
"See...we're not so different from them," said Kira.
The next day...Kira & Ethan went to look for Connor at Haley's Cyberspace & found him watching a re-run of the episode that they had just seen.
"You just had to come back here to catch a re-run of this?" asked Ethan, surprised.
"Yeah, I did," said Connor.
Kira looked over his shoulder & saw what his report's title was.
"American vs. Japanese Culture, Closer than We Think," read Kira.
"I just realized something, on how our style is not so different from theirs," said Connor.
"You didn't go into too much detail, right?" asked Ethan, a bit nervous.
"Course not. And I just realized another thing," said Connor.
Ethan & Kira made a quick glance at each other & then back to Connor.
"The Red Ranger rocks," said Connor.
"No way, the Blue Ranger was the best," said Ethan, as they all began to head out of the Cyber-café.
"As if. They wouldn't have been able to defeat that fluff-ball without the Yellow Ranger," said Kira. This brought a laugh from the other guys, because...of course...they all enjoyed it.
Just then...their communicators had just gone off. They went to a certain area so as not to be seen.
"Go, this is Connor," he said into his communicator.
"Connor...it's Jason. Can you guys meet me at Dr. O's place? There's something I need to talk to you guys about," said Jason.
"We're on our way," said Connor, & began to head for Dr. Oliver's house.
DONE! This was just about the most hardest chapter I have ever written. Okay, excluding my YGO duel on one of my stories. Now...you guys might be thinking this battle's over...WRONG. It is not even close to it yet. For those of you who've seen the episode when Trent goes to the good side, this is when Archbomber's back for round 2. If you think the monster in that episode was weird, wait'll you see what the Archer has in store for the Rangers. Plus... the 3 Rangers help Jason find a way to reunite Tommy & Kimberly, without them noticing. Ok, so maybe I've made it too close to 'Lost & Found in Translation'. My fault. Next chapter: "The Archer Returns: A Shocking Surprise & A Plan is Set Into Motion." I tried my best to not add many of the stuff from the episode as best as I can, I've decided to just try & describe it, the best I could.
R/R, please.
Hey, thanks to all that reviewed my 3rd chapter. For those of you think that it was sort of rushed...well, it actually wasn't. I had to keep readjusting the situation & do a lot of editing. It was the song itself that was hard for me to put. Anyway...like I said... I WAS going to add the little 'cross-culture' in this chapter. But...that's after the battle is done. Not to mention... a surprise appearance from some old friends. For those of you that have read my chapters, I'm sure you know which ones I'm referring to. Oh... and as for the author 'Leap of Fate', I am sorry if I had seemed to have copied your little 'Ninja' theory. I have to admit...I'm always surprised & impressed with Japanese technology. Interesting, advanced, & as usual, MEGA cool. I was also going to add some lines from previous episodes, except...they apply only to Tommy.

Chapter 4: The Rematch: Kimberly's Rescue & the Rangers against the Archer.
As the 3 Rangers headed off to the city, Archbomber was having a really good time causing mayhem, panic, & destruction. Meanwhile... Tommy headed to the pier, hoping to find Kimberly & get his anger on Zeltrax.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha. That's right, run you little runts. Run while you still can. Ha, ha, ha, ha," laughed Archbomber evilly.
"That's far enough creep," said Connor.
"You've already caused enough trouble for one day," said Kira.
"It's time for some payback," said Ethan.
"Oh... so you're back for more lessons in pain I see. Well I don't mind in giving you guys another demonstration," said Archbomber.
"You guys ready?" said Connor.
"Ready," said Ethan & Kira as their communicators became morphers.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP! HA," they said together.
"Tyranno power," said Connor.
"Tricera power," said Ethan.
"Ptera power," said Kira.
"Tyrannodrones, attack," commanded Archbomber, as an invisoportal opened & some tyrannodrones fell from it.
"Let do it. Thunder max saber," said Connor, taking out his sword.
"Right with ya Connor," said Ethan.
"Right behind you guys," said Kira, as they also took out their swords.
As the tyrannodrones surged forward, Archbomber tried to make his escape. Unfortunately for him, Connor kept up using his agility & struck with his sword, but despite the effort again, he got knocked back.
Meanwhile, Tommy arrived at the pier, searching for any sign of Kimberly.
'Where could she be?' wondered Tommy.
"So... you've decided to show up I see," said Zeltrax.
"Huh?" said Tommy, turned around & saw both Zeltrax & Kimberly. He also saw Kimberly tied up over the water.
"Tommy...help," pleaded Kimberly.
"Let her go, Zeltrax. This is just between you & me," said Tommy.
"Most unlikely. If you think you can defeat me & save her, guess again," said Zeltrax.
"Don't be so sure," said Tommy, taking out his staff. "Let's go."
As they both charged at each other, both struck at the same time, giving small damage to their opponent. Zeltrax kept attacking, while Tommy kept dodging or blocking, trying to get the upper hand on him. Suddenly, Zeltrax caught him off guard & struck with his lightning attack. Luckily, Tommy was able to do a small somersault to dodge the attack & struck back with his own attack from his staff.
"Argh," screamed Zeltrax, being thrown back.
"Is that all you got?" asked Tommy.
"Ha, ha ha. As if I hadn't come prepared," said Zeltrax. "Take a look closely at those crates Black Ranger."
Tommy tried to observe from a distance, until he finally saw it. A candle was lit & under the rope Kimberly was tied on.
"Grrr... you slime," gritted Tommy.
"What's the matter Tommy, running out of time?" mocked Zeltrax.
"As if. Your days have run out Zeltrax," said Tommy, as he charged again for another attack. Only to be thrown back from another attack. This time... by Elsa.
"Oh great. More problems," said Tommy.
"I find it to be most unlikely, Dr. Oliver," said Elsa.
"We'll see about that," said Tommy, as he tried fighting both of them.
He tried his best fending them off. Luckily, lady luck was on his side. As Trent came by to help. He interfered with Elsa's attack, & threw her off, causing her to hit the crates hard.
"Whose side are you on today, Trent?" asked Tommy.
"Like you really had to ask," replied Trent.
"Not you again," complained Elsa.
"That's not all," said a voice.
"Huh?" wondered Zeltrax.
"Jason," said Tommy, relieved having to see his old friend fight alongside with him. "You have no idea how glad I am to see you."
"We'll talk later. Right now, let's take care of these guys," said Jason.
"Even if you had your students with you, you would still be no match for me or our monster. It would be easier for you to just surrender now...or pay the price," said Zeltrax.
"Man, I hate it when he says that," said Tommy.
"Let's do it," said Trent.
"Triptoids, attack," commanded Zeltrax as they appeared through an invisoportal & began to attack the trio.
Back at the battle between the Rangers & Archbomber, Archbomber had just sent a volley of arrows their way. As if that wasn't enough...he also sent those target boards which also explode as soon as he sets them off, causing them to fall back down to the ground. Connor at first remembered the last time they battled. But as soon as Archbomber sent those target boards, he suddenly had an idea.
"Guys, leave this one to me," said Connor.
"Why?" asked Ethan.
"You'll get pummeled," said Kira.
"Trust me, I've got it," said Connor.
"Connor...we're a team. And we don't leave anyone behind, not even a fellow leader," said Kira.
"Kira's right, I mean how else can we let you handle that thing by yourself without being busted for it? Let us help, Connor," said Ethan.
"You think you can defeat me that easily? Ha! You're dumber than I thought," said Archbomber.
"We'll see who gets the last laugh after this," said Connor, preparing himself for battle, taking out his sword.
As they fought, Connor tried to find a way for his opponent to send those boards again. He was able to fend Archbomber off for a while, until finally, Connor suddenly sensed his chance.
"How about a bit of target practice?" said Archbomber, sending the target boards.
"You're the one who needs practice. Take this," said Connor as he kicked each one of the boards right back at Archbomber, who took the hit as soon as it made contact with him.
"All right guys, let him have it," said Connor.
Just as Connor gave the signal... both Ethan & Kira were in the air, took out their blasters, & gave Archbomber a taste of his own medicine.
"Now that's what I call Dino power," said Ethan.
To make things even easier, Haley had just called them on their communicators.
'Guys, I've got a lock on Archbomber's weak point,' said Haley.
"Great, but, where is it?" asked Kira.
"I'm not finished with you yet," said Archbomber.
'Aim for the left arm,' said Haley, simply.
"The left arm? What'll that do?" asked Ethan.
'Take a look at it first,' said Haley.
"Um guys... can you tell Haley to just explain it already?" asked Connor.
Ethan & Kira tried to look closer, until Kira suddenly got a quick glance at what Haley was referring to.
"Of course. It's a cannon," said Kira.
"So if we can find a way to fire his arrows..." said Ethan.
"Back at the cannon..." continued Kira.
"That'll destroy his armor," they said together.
'Exactly,' said Haley.
"Thanks for the tip, Haley," said Ethan.
"All right guys, lets do this," said Connor, taking out his tyranno staff.
"Later, Rangers," laughed Archbomber & disappeared.
"Man... he always keeps retreating. How are we supposed to beat this guy...when he always runs?" wondered Ethan.
"I'm not sure. Anyway... we better ask Haley where Dr. O is," said Kira.
"Good idea," said Connor.
"Wait... didn't he say that he had something personal to take care of?" asked Ethan.
"Unless it's a personal battle......we better go see what it is, just in case. Besides... Dr. O might need our help if Mesogog's creeps are behind it all," said Connor.
"He's right. I mean... he is our teacher after all," said Kira.
"And also a fellow Ranger," added Ethan.
"Yeah...that too," said Connor.
"So......what are we just standing here & debating it for... let's go," said Ethan.
"But...do you have any idea where Dr. O might be?" asked Kira.
"To answer your question.........uh......no," said Ethan.
'Don't worry guys. I've got it covered,' said Haley, over their communicators.
"So... where is he?" asked Connor.
'Just give me a minute, Mr. Super Impatient,' said Haley. This suddenly brought a small laugh from Kira & Ethan.
"Yeah. Ha, ha, ha. Laugh it up," said Connor, not amused.
"Geez, come on, Connor, you gotta learn when to lighten up a bit," said Ethan.
"Ethan's right. You're too.........uptight on things," said Kira.
"Uptight? As if..." said Connor, still not amused.
'Hold your horses, guys. I think I've got it,' said Haley.
"Where is he?" asked Ethan.
'Down by the pier, a few miles not from where the old warehouse collapsed from Dragozord's appearance,' said Haley.
"Wait a minute... I know where that is," said Connor.
"Duh! We all know where that is," said Kira.
'I'm sending over the Raptor Riders. It should get you there in no time. Hopefully,' said Haley.
"Thanks Haley," said Connor.
Just like she said... the Raptor Riders came right on schedule. And not a moment too soon as well.
"All right," said Ethan, as he hopped on his.
"Perfect timing," said Kira, as she got on hers.
"Now let's go help Dr. O," said Connor, as he got on his.
"Right behind you, Connor," said Kira, as she followed Connor.
"Wait for me," said Ethan, as he followed the two.
Meanwhile...back at the pier, Zeltrax & Elsa were fighting Trent & Tommy. While Jason fended off the Triptoids, but was taken down a few times by the metal sticks they held. Jason knew that without his morpher, he was defenseless. that he & Tommy fought with other Red Rangers from other seasons on the moon to stop the Generals from reviving Serpentera, he knew that sooner or later he would have to explain later on how he got it back.
Zeltrax tried to catch Tommy off guard in order to strike, so he tried to land an aerial attack by using his sword & launching the lightning strike from it towards Tommy. Fortunately, Tommy dodged the attack by doing a backflip & landed on one of the crates & struck back with his staff.
"Brachio staff... fire," said Tommy, as his staff unleashed its own attack on Zeltrax, causing him to be blasted back towards some crates hard & take a hard beating. As if that wasn't enough, Tommy sent one more attack on Zeltrax.
"Brachio staff...energy ball," said Tommy, as he rotated his sword in a circular formation & sent the energy ball straight towards Zeltrax, causing him to blown back along with Elsa, whom Trent managed to fend off.
"Face it Dr. O, your friend is weak. And soon to be destroyed," said Zeltrax.
"That is so not going to happen," said Jason, as he finally threw back all the Triptoids & managed to get on his feet. Zeltrax tried to attack by launching another lightning strike from his sword, but Jason was able to dodge it by rolling to the left.
"Now you've really made me mad. It's morphing time," said Jason, taking out his morpher. "Tyrannosaurs!" he called out, & was once again filled with power from the dinosaur & wearing the suit that he wore back then......all those years ago.
"What? Another red Ranger," wondered Trent.
"So... we finally meet the original red Ranger," said Zeltrax. "Mesogog is going to be pleased when I finish off one of your old teammates, Dr. Oliver."
"SO not going to happen," said Jason.
"Triptoids, tyrannodrones, attack," commanded Zeltrax.
As they all surged forward, so did Tommy, Jason, & Trent. But as if that wasn't enough to complicate things......Archbomber appeared once again.
"Oh great, more bad news," said Tommy.
"Hey, don't start the party without me," said Archbomber, trying to get into the fight, but instead... was blasted off from a few lasers...from the Dino Rangers.
"Dr. O," called out Connor.
"Good timing guys," said Tommy.
"Ahhhh... Tommy... someone...help," screamed Kimberly, as the rope slowly began to break apart.
"Hang on Kimberly," said Tommy.
"Oh now THAT is just SO messed up," said Ethan.
"Uh... Ethan, try to pay a little attention here," said Connor.
As the 3 Dino Rangers fought against Archbomber, Zeltrax suddenly began to laugh as he realized that Dr. O's time is about to run out.
"Your time to save your girl, is about to run out, Dr. Oliver," said Zeltrax.
"That's what you think," said Tommy, as he fended off a few triptoids & tyrannodrones.
Once the Rangers were able to fend off Archbomber for a while, Kira suddenly noticed the rope that was slowly starting to burn away & spotted a candle right under it. Realizing what the whole situation is about, she knew someone had to take care of things.
"Guys, there's someone tied up there," said Kira, pointing to where Kimberly was.
"What... you can't be serious," said Ethan.
"She IS serious," said Connor.
"That's Kimberly up there," said Jason.
The 3 Rangers looked at Jason for a second & were completely awe struck with what they saw. Or in simpler terms... in major shock.
"No way... another Red Ranger?" wondered Ethan.
"Ok. This is getting confusing," said Kira.
"Don't worry about it right now. Right now, you've got to save Kimberly," said Jason, as he fought off triptoids & tyrannodrones.
"Well... looks like there's only one way to handle this," said Connor.
"SUPER DINO MODE!" they said together, as the plates from their suits began to come out, while Connor & Ethan's 'Super Dino mode' had plates, Kira's 'Super Dino mode' had plates & wings.
"Guys... I'll go get Kimberly. Do you think you guys can manage by yourselves?" asked Kira.
"We'll be fine. Go," said Ethan.
"All right," said Kira, taking flight & heading to where Kimberly was tied up.
"Not so fast," said Zeltrax, who fended off Tommy, & was about to launch his attack on Kira, until he got interrupted by Connor.
"Guess again, creep," said Connor, as he fought off some tyrannodrones & triptoids with his Thunder Max Saber & went straight for Zeltrax & struck him on the side, causing him to fire his attack in the wrong direction & stumble back.
Kira almost lost her control when the attack came, but luckily she was able to reach Kimberly, but not before some tyrannodrones blocked her way & one tyrannodrone attacked from above.
"Hey, get off me," said Kira, as she fought off the tyrannodrone that was on her with her Ptera grips & fought off the remaining tyrannodrones with ease, from her 'Super Dino mode'. But then she suddenly noticed the rope was about to break, & quickly got back on her feet. Yet as soon as she did, Kimberly was suddenly starting to fall quickly into the water at a fast rate.
"Hang on," said Kira, as she took flight again & Kimberly, luckily was able to hold onto Kira, as she was brought to a safe area, away from the battle.
"Are you ok?" asked Kira.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks," said Kimberly.
"Hey... no problem, Kimberly," said Kira. Then she suddenly added, "Oops."
"Hey... how'd you know my name?" asked Kimberly.
"Uh......just a wild guess, I guess," said Kira. "Listen... stay here, until we're done, k?"
"And to just watch & see Tommy in trouble & leaving me out of it? I don't think so," said Kimberly.
"If you're trying to help, how exactly can you do that if you no longer have your powers? I mean...without it... your helpless," said Kira.
"Who said I was 'powerless'?" shot back Kimberly.
"Huh?" wondered Kira.
"Stand back, & watch & learn," said Kimberly, & Kira did so, just wondering what in the world she was talking about.
"I need Ninja Ranger Power, now," called out Kimberly, & in a bright flash of pink light, she had her Ninja suit back on.
"Whoa, I SO did not see that coming," said Kira, in major awe.
Unfortunately for them, Zeltrax & Elsa picked up the energy readings in seconds & went to see what was going on. Tommy, Jason, & the others tried to follow, but some of the triptoids & tyrannodrones got in the way. Luckily, Jason & Connor were able to fend them off. Tommy & Ethan were about to follow Zeltrax & Elsa, but Tommy turned back quickly & asked, "Will you guys be ok?"
"We'll be fine, just get going," said Connor, fighting off the triptoids.
"Hurry... before those goons get their hands on Kimberly," said Jason, fighting off the tyrannodrones.
"All right," said Tommy, with Ethan following right behind.
But just as they got there, Zeltrax, Elsa, & Archbomber were already fighting Kira & Kimberly. Tommy was quite surprised that Kimberly got back her Ninja form. Ethan was the most shocked.
"Hey Tommy," said Kimberly, fighting off Elsa.
"Glad you made it," said Kira, fighting off Archbomber.
"That's her?" asked Ethan, still in shock.
"We'll talk about it later. Right now... let's just take care of the problem in front of us," said Tommy.
"You got it, Dr. O," said Ethan.
"You're mine, Black Ranger," said Zeltrax.
"Bring it, Zeltrax," said Tommy, as he charged with his staff ready in hand.
As Zeltrax & Tommy resumed their fighting, Ethan & Kira tried to attack Archbomber with their sabers, but unfortunately...they were ineffective on Archbomber's tough armor. Elsa kept attacking Kimberly with her sword, but Kimberly, luckily, was able to catch & stop her sword with her foot. "I am NOT intimidated by your 'so-called' boyfriend," said Elsa.
"Speak for yourself," said Kimberly, who did a roundhouse kick to Elsa's side, causing her to stumble back. She was about to attack again, but Elsa took out her sword & tried to strike back, only to make Kimberly knock the sword away with another round house kick, & hit Elsa right in the chest with a side kick follow-up, causing Elsa to be thrown back hard onto the crates. Elsa... struggling to get back on her feet said, "This isn't over Pink Ranger". And with that said... she disappeared.
Meanwhile, Tommy & Zeltrax were both going at it with their swords. Tommy managed to block Zeltrax's attack, causing their swords to lock onto each other for a minute.
"This doesn't have to be that way, Schmidt," said Tommy.
"That weak human being no longer exists. The only thing that DOES exist is my revenge on you," said Zeltrax, breaking the lock on their swords.
Tommy was able to dodge the attack quickly enough, & tried to attack Zeltrax with his sword, but got it blocked by Zeltrax's sword, causing them to grind on each other & push both fighters back. Tommy was able to launch a counterattack on Zeltrax, but had to dodge Zeltrax's lightning attack first by doing a forward somersault & then launching his own attack right on Zeltrax.
Once Tommy was back on the ground, he asked, "Is that all you've got, or do you want some more?"
"This isn't over...not even by a long shot," said Zeltrax as he charged once again towards Tommy. And they went at it once again, Zeltrax dealing the blows & Tommy trying to block them with his staff. Tommy quickly spotted an opportunity, when he struck back & Zeltrax blocked his attack, managed to kick him in the chest, causing him to stumble back. Suddenly, he saw Kimberly trying to help Kira & Ethan fight the monster & had an evil idea.
"Try & see if you can stop this," said Zeltrax launching his lightning attack on Kimberly.
"Kimberly......watch out," called out Tommy.
"Aghhhhhhhh," screamed Kimberly, as the blast blew her backwards & hit her on the crates hard & making her lose consciousness.
"NO!" yelled Tommy.
"Ha, ha, ha. Looks like your so-called friend has failed you. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha." said Zeltrax, laughing evilly.
Tommy ran quickly over to her side, joined by Kira & Ethan, who managed to fend off Archbomber long enough to stall for time. Kimberly slowly regaining conscious, tried to speak, but Tommy hushed her.
"I-I'm sorry, Tommy. I-I was just t-trying to...," struggled Kimberly.
"Shh... try not to speak. You're gonna be ok Beautiful," said Tommy.
Kimberly suddenly blushed at Tommy's remark. It had been a long time since he called her that. Ever since that day when she sent him that letter, she had really broken his heart. Now she felt that the only way to pay the price, was trying to help the team, risking her own to help them.
Just then......Jason & Connor had arrived after their fight with the tyrannodrones & triptoids. Jason suddenly saw Kimberly, lying on the ground, obviously hit from an attack.
"How'd this happen?" asked Jason.
"She got hit by Zeltrax's attack," said Kira.
"Who's Zeltrax?" asked Jason.
"That guy," said Ethan, pointing to the metallic warrior with the green sword.
"I had to ask," said Jason. "Listen... I'll take Kim someplace safe. You think you guys can handle these freaks?"
"Don't worry, we've got it," said Connor. Then Jason took the hint & left them.
"Fleeing already? Had enough have you?" said Archbomber.
"That's what you think, you creep," said Connor.
"SUPER DINO MODE," the 3 Rangers, & the plates came out from their suits.
"Super what kind of mode?" wondered Archbomber in shock.
"Dr. O, Haley's finally found a weak spot on this Archer," said Ethan.
"Really? That's great. Where?" asked Tommy.
"See that cannon on Archbomber's left arm?" asked Kira.
"Yeah... why?" asked Connor.
"That's its weak point," said Ethan & Kira, together.
"Dr. O, you've got the reflector shield, right?" asked Connor.
"Never leave without it," said Tommy, taking it out.
"You think you can defeat me with that puny thing?" asked Archbomber.
"Keep talking, creep. Now you're going to get a lesson of pain from us," said Connor.
"Oh yeah... how so?" asked Archbomber.
"First of all... for messing with my friends, second... for messing with my students, & third...you've messed with the wrong Ranger & ticked me off," said Tommy, taking out his staff.
"Oooh...like I'm SOooo scared," said the archer, sarcastically.
"We'll give you something to be scared about," said Connor, as he charged for Archbomber, with Ethan & Kira right behind him.
"Looks like it's just between you & me, Zeltrax," said Tommy.
"You're girl couldn't even save herself. How is it that you think you can try to defeat me?" asked Zeltrax.
"It looks like we're going to have to see about that, won't we. SUPER DINO MODE," said Tommy, as the plates began to appear from his suit.
"Let's go," said Zeltrax.
"Bring it," said Tommy, as he charged towards Zeltrax.
The two struck the other at the same time & this time, Tommy was the one sending the attacks towards Zeltrax, & Zeltrax was starting to have a hard time trying to block them. Suddenly, Tommy locked their swords again, & this time... Tommy began to push Zeltrax all the way back to the wall & slashed down on Zeltrax hard. Then... Tommy unleashed his strongest attacks on Zeltrax in a huge blaze of fury.
"Brachio staff, fire strike," said Tommy, then turning the knob on the fire symbol & sent a huge blaze of fire on Zeltrax, causing him to be blown back hard.
"Brachio staff...energy ball attack," said Tommy, as he rotated his staff to a full circle. "Strike now," he said, & hit the energy ball straight towards Zeltrax, trapping him & the energy striking him within it.
"Brachio staff... fire," Tommy said, as he unleashed his laser attack on Zeltrax, causing him to be completely weakened. After those set of attacks, he struggled to get back on his feet, but the attacks had taken his toll on him completely he could barely do so, let alone... stand up.
"This isn't the end of our battle Dr. Oliver. I swear to you, one day I will return to wreak my revenge on you," said Zeltrax, & with that said, he disappeared through an invisoportal.
Once Zeltrax had left, Archbomber was giving the 3 Rangers a hard pounding. As Tommy headed back to the battle between the 3 Rangers & Archbomber, he suddenly noticed that they were all beaten up pretty badly.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Is that all you've got? Looks pretty pathetic to me," said Archbomber, laughing evilly.
"Guys... you ok?" asked Tommy.
"Hardly," said Connor.
"More likely......trounced," said Kira.
"Looks like this is the end for you Rangers," said Archbomber.
"Don't count on it," said a voice.
"Huh?" wondered Archbomber.
"Jason," said Tommy.
"What? Another Red Ranger," said Archbomber.
"Why don't you pick on someone of your own size, bomb head," said Jason.
"Perfect timing," said Connor.
"A second Red Ranger? Ok, I'm like TOTALLY confused here," said Kira.
"We'll explain later. Right now, let's take care of this bozo," said Tommy.
"You guys don't stand a chance against me," said Archbomber.
"Guess again, creep," said Jason, taking out his blaster & firing it at Archbomber, causing Archbomber to fire his arrows at the Rangers.
"That's our cue," said Connor.
"Try this on for size," said Tommy, taking out the reflector shield, causing it to hit the shield & redirect its attack right back into the cannon.
Suddenly the cannon started to glow, & Archbomber looked at his left arm in worry.
"W-what's happening to my cannon...aghhhhh," screamed Archbomber, as his cannon exploded, causing his armor to fall to the ground, smoked.
"My protective armor. It's gone," panicked Archbomber.
"Now let's take care of this archer," said Connor. "Tyranno staff."
"Tricera shield," called out Ethan.
"Ptera grips," called out Kira.
"Power sword," said Jason, taking out his sword.
"Couldn't have said it better myself," said Tommy, taking out his staff.
As soon as they were ready, they all took to the air & launched an aerial attack on Archbomber.
"Brachio staff, energy ball," called out Tommy, as he rotated the staff into a full circle & launched it straight at Archbomber.
"Power sword, power up," said Jason, as his sword began to glow, & charged at Archbomber with his sword, causing him to fall back.
Then the 3 Dino Rangers attack Archbomber with their weapons, causing him to fall back & tumble down some flight of stairs & into some tables.
"Let's put 'em together guys," said Connor.
And with that said... they combined the tyranno staff, tricera shield, ptera grips, & brachio staff to form............
"Z-Rex blaster," they said together.
"Uh-oh...I'm outta here," said Archbomber, as he tried to run away.
"Ready," said Kira.
"Aim," said Ethan.
"Fire," said Connor & Tommy in unison.
"Oh no......ahh...ahhhhhhh," cried out Archbomber, as the blast came on him full force & destroyed him.
"We did it," said Ethan.
"Good job guys," said Tommy.
Back at Mesogog's fortress...Mesogog watched the battle from a monitor on the hydro-regenerator.
"This...isn't possible," said Mesogog.
"We are sorry, master. We should have foreseen this coming," said Zeltrax.
"Must I do everything myself?" asked Mesogog. "Activate," he said once he activated the hydro-regenerator.
As soon as the hydro-regenerator activated, a capsule broke & dark clouds appeared & rain began to fall & regenerate Archbomber, causing him to be bigger & badder than before.
"Who's up for some target practice?" asked the huge Archbomber.
"Brachiozord, it's show time," called out Tommy, into his communicator.
Right on cue, the Brachiozord came up & open its compartments, revealing the Tyrannozord, Tricerazord, & Pterazord. As they came out of the Brachiozord, Jason & Kimberly watched the zords from a distance.
"You know what I'm thinking?" asked Kimberly.
"That those zords kind of remind you of the old times," guessed Jason.
"Let's do it," said Connor, running.
"Right behind you, bro," said Ethan.
"All right," said Kira.
They took to the air & entered their zords.
"Tyranno power," Connor said.
"Tricera power," Ethan said.
"Ptera power," Kira said.
"Whoa, now I'm like SO TOTALLY digging this," said Kimberly.
"You can say that again," said Jason.
"Megazord formation," they said together.
Once all 3 zords combined, it formed into the Thundersaurusmegazord.
"On-line," they said together.
"Now THAT's what I call a megazord," said Jason.
"If you think that's good, wait'll you see what's next," said Tommy.
"Ankylozord," called out Ethan.
"Weapon formation," they said together.
As the Ankylozord came walking out of the Brachiozord, the Tricerazord, ejected from the Thundersaurusmegazord, & Ankylozord combined with the megazord, equipped with a shield & another drill.
"Let me guess...all the zords are dinosaurs, right?" asked Kimberly.
"Looks like someone's been doing their research," said Jason.
"Let's just call it...a wild guess," said Kimberly.
"What good will those do? I've got more surprises in store," said Archbomber, as he launched his lasers from his cannon, but the Thundersaurusmegazord counter-attacked, by using the shield as it rotated, deflecting the lasers & causing them to hit Archbomber one, two, three, making him tumble backwards & fall.
"THUNDERSAURUSMEGAZORD, DOUBLE-DRILL ATTACK," they said together. Once the two drills began to spin, they launched their attack & finally hit Archbomber hard with the point of the Ankylozord drill, to complete the attack.
"I've been hit, aghhhhh," screamed Archbomber & exploded, & was no more.
"All right," said Jason.
"Good job guys," said Tommy.
Meanwhile, back at Mesogog's island fortress, Mesogog was unpleased with Zeltrax's & Elsa's progress & was punished when Mesogog used his mind-blast on them.
"That is what you get...for being so useless," said Mesogog.
"We're sorry master. We didn't know that this would have happened," said Zeltrax.
"Excuse after excuse & failure after failure, is all that you two have given me," said Mesogog. "Now go...get out of my sight, or I'll make this punishment...become your worst nightmare."
Meanwhile, at Haley's Cyberspace, Tommy had a little chat with his students about how Jason got back his powers & also the same with Kimberly. It was already 6:30 p.m. by the time they arrived.
"Wait a minute...so you mean to tell us, that when this Serpentera was about to be revived & this Machine Empire was trying to be reborn, that's when you, Jason, & other Red Rangers united to fight against these...generals?" asked Kira, still a bit confused.
"Exactly. Listen...I know this might seem a bit too much for you guys to take in, but... if we hadn't united, Earth...as we know it, would have been completely taken over by the Machine Empire," said Tommy.
"Wow, talk about triple threat major," said Connor.
The others suddenly looked at him as if to say 'What in the world is he talking about?'
"So anyway... all these different Red Rangers are all from different time periods?" asked Connor.
"Uh, hello...weren't you listening to what Dr. O is trying to tell you?" asked Kira.
"Hey, I was just trying to make sure," said Connor.
"Yeah, like SURE you were," said Kira.
"Where's Ethan?" wondered Connor, seeing that he wasn't around.
"Oh he just uh...went to watch some TV," said Haley.
"Exactly...where?" asked Connor.
"Take a wild guess. Where do you think Ethan would go to the most in order to play computer games?" asked Haley.
"Haley's Cyberspace," said Connor.
"Wow, good call Connor," said Kira.
"Hey listen, you don't mind if we just check up on him, that is...as long as it's not closed or anything," said Connor.
"What do you think I left the door open for?" asked Haley.
"Oh...right," said Connor.
"But... I wouldn't quite DO that, so to speak," said Kira.
"I know. I should've locked the doors. But anyway...you guys should go check up on him. Didn't you guys have some homework for History class?" asked Haley.
"Speaking of history, I'm going there right now," said Connor.
"Same here," said Kira, following him.
Meanwhile, at Haley's Cyberspace, the other 2 Rangers opened the door & suddenly heard some strange sounds coming from a certain area. They looked to fin someone watching television. As they went closer, they found Ethan, just sitting on the couch watching TV, checking random channels.
"Hey guys," said Ethan.
"Dude, what are you doing here?" asked Connor.
"Haley just got a satellite TV. 450 channels, world class racing, junior girl's synchronized swimming," said Ethan, really excited.
"Yeah, ok. Dude, shouldn't you be working on your homework?" asked Connor.
"Actually, I'm nearly done with mine," said Ethan.
"Same here," said Kira.
"Ok, whatever. I'm heading to the library to finish mine up," said Connor, about to leave.
But as soon as he turned his back, some Japanese music theme began to play.
"Whoa," exclaimed Ethan.
"No way," said Kira, in complete shock.
"Connor, you've gotta check this out," said Ethan.
Connor, once again interrupted in his work, went to check what got him so psyched up.
"Hey, it's us," said Ethan.
Connor looked a bit closer & saw a Japanese person as the Blue Ranger & quickly noticed the difference.
"Not quite...exactly," said Connor.
"What is it?" asked Kira.
"According to the TV guide, it's a show about the 'World Famous Power Rangers'. And they dubbed it in English," said Ethan.
"Whoa, we're a TV show in Japan?" exclaimed Kira, too shocked to believe what she was hearing.
As the trio watched the episode, Connor suddenly began to notice something about the Red Ranger & couldn't seem to stand it.
"Dude, that guy's personality is SO unlike mine," said Connor.
"Connor, just because it's in a different language, doesn't mean that it's the same thing," said Kira.
Just then...Ken, the Blue Ranger, spotted a famous American baseball star on the back of the newspaper.
"Whoa, Whacker Wilson's coming to Japan," said Ken.
"Are you serious?" asked the Red Ranger.
"That's what it says," said Ken, putting down the paper & proceeded to make his curry.
As it continued, they saw what looked like to be the boss's sister, considering that the antagonist was female. They continued to watch & Connor suddenly found something quite odd... or rather...stupid in their plan. The boss's monster henchmen came up with a plan to make a monster that would create bad hair days.
"That's their plan, bad hair?" asked Connor, finding it boring.
"I've seen you with some bad hair days. It's...kinda freaky," said Kira.
After a certain number of minutes, the other's looked at it & the Red Ranger asked, "What is it?"
"Curry, fruit surprise. It's good. Try it," said Ken.
The trio turned back & began to discuss it among themselves. Obviously, they had seen it before & every time someone eats it, they feel sick.
"I can't eat that, I'll hurl," said the Red Ranger.
"I have acid reflux," said the little assistant.
"Hey guys," said Mike, the Black Ranger.
"Hey, Mikey," said the Red Ranger.
"You guys got anything to eat?" Mike asked.
Just then, they showed him the fruit curry that Ken made & began to wolf it down fast & the Red Ranger thought that he liked it, but it turned out to be the opposite, making him run to the bathroom & throwing up a lot.
Suddenly, the monitor began picking up some alien monster readings.
"There's some alien monster activity going on in town," said the Red Ranger.
"But what about Mike?" asked the Yellow Ranger.
"We'll just have to deal with this by ourselves," said the Red Ranger.
Meanwhile, the 3 Rangers continued to watch the Japanese version of themselves go against a monster that was a cross between a bear, mushroom, & a cash register.
"That's what they call a monster? A bear-mushroom-money combination monster? Dude, that is SO a guy in a suit," said Connor.
"Hey...has there ever been any monsters that we've been fighting look weird to you?" asked Kira. "Doesn't look any different to the ones that we've been fighting."
"My name's Ka-ching & I going to rule the world with greed," said the monster & spotted some citizens & gave them a really bad hair day by firing the mushrooms causing them to have different hair styles.
"Hey...freakshow, stop," said the Red Ranger.
"Hold it right there," said the Yellow Ranger.
"That's enough," said Ken.
"Looks like you guys could use a new do," said Ka-ching.
"Ready?" said the leader.
"Ready," replied the other two.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP, HA!" they said together & transformed into their costumes.
"Very impressive. But I brought along some special guest stars. Triptoids," he commanded, & they appeared & fought against the Rangers.
"You start fighting, I'll pay you cash," said Ka-ching. "Here, have a mushroom," said Ka-ching as he fired his mushrooms at the Rangers fighting off the Triptoids.
"Red Ranger," said the leader.
"Yellow Ranger," said the Yellow Ranger.
"Blue Ranger," said Ken.
"Wimpy Rangers," they said. "And my hair has bounce," said the Red Ranger.
"Dude, they're making fun of us," said Connor, as he watched, not liking it one bit.
"It's just a TV show," said Kira. "It's not even a whole episode."
Just as they continued fighting, an American citizen had shown up. He was wearing some sort of jacket & held a bag in his left hand. Ka-ching suddenly spotted him & decided to give him a hairdo. But as soon as he fired his mushroom, the American retaliated by taking out a baseball bat & hit it straight back at Ka-ching, giving him the hairdo.
"Hey, that's not funny," said Ka-ching.
The Triptoids also noticed it & found it quite amusing.
"Hey...it's only funny when I do it," said Ka-ching & disappeared.
"Hey, who's that?" wondered the Yellow Ranger.
As soon as they had powered down & the American stepped forward, he took off his hood & only then, did Ken recognize him.
"You're Whacker Wilson, the famous American baseball player," said Ken.
"Good fight you put out there. I was impressed," said Wilson, & was about to leave, when he got interrupted.
"Hey, wait a minute...what are you doing here in Japan?" asked the Red Ranger.
"I've been having this back pain for quite a while. I've been told that Japan's best chiropractor's here," said Wilson. "Someone named Ken."
"That's him," they said, pointing to him. Ken was taken aback a bit & surprised.
Whacker Wilson turned his back & looked at them & said, "Really?"
Meanwhile, as the other two Rangers watched Ken work his magic on Wilson's back, Wilson started to panic a bit when he felt the pain increase each second.
"Is it over yet," asked Wilson, still feeling the pain.
"Almost done," said Ken, continuing to work his magic on Wilson's back.
After a few more seconds, Ken was finished.
"Jeez man, what did you do to my back? You could've almost put it out of line," said Wilson.
"Before you make anymore complaints, try your back," said Ken.
"Oh...right," said Wilson, & stood still for a moment. Then he became very impressed for his back was no longer aching & began to do some sort of a victory dance. Wilson was impressed with Ken's skills & was going to tell people about him, & thinking that he could become rich. But Ken refused the offer & said he had more important things, like protecting the city from evil invaders as a Power Ranger. Wilson asked if there was any money in it...but the Blue Ranger said it didn't cost a thing.
"Nice meeting you Whacker Wilson. Enjoy your stay in Japan," said Ken.
"Well...at least I've learned one thing," said Kira.
"What? That Power Rangers are total dufuses?" asked Connor.
"No...that money isn't everything," said Kira.
But then... a few minutes later, Wilson was attacked by Ka-ching & Connor...being completely ticked off by what just happened, blocked the screen & from the looks of it...wasn't very pleased.
"Ok. Making fun of us is one thing, but to make fun of American Sports Stars? Where's your pride?" asked Connor, really starting to hate it.
"Hey...would you just chill? It's not even a whole episode," said Kira.
"Do you guys not even get the point? THIS is what they think of us...in Japan," retorted Connor, really ticked off.
"Ok, fine. If that's the way you feel about it...then go ahead & write to them. The National guard, the President, whatever," said Ethan.
"Yeah. But as of right now, I just want to see if the Rangers can make Wilson learn the error of his ways," said Kira. you please...?"
"MOVE," said Ethan & Kira.
Connor, annoyed with the argument, decided to leave to do his history assignment.
But Ethan suddenly noticed Connor forgot his bag. "He'll be back," he said, with a grin.
"How can you be so sure?" asked Kira.
"Cause he forgot this," Ethan said, holding up Connor's bag.
A few seconds later, Connor noticed he forgot his bag & went to go get it. But by the time he was about to, Kira stopped him & said, "Just give it a chance, ok?"
Connor, sighing in frustration, decided to watch the rest of the episode.
As Ken began to walk around town, he was suddenly in shock at what he had just seen. The people began to demand money.
"I can't believe this. Everyone is being obsessed by money," said Ken.
Just then...he saw Whacker Wilson & saw him carrying bags of cash. He also noticed that when Wilson's hood came off, he saw that Wilson also got attacked by Ka-ching. He was trying to ask about the hairstyle, but Wilson began to fill his hands with cash, trying to pay him back for the back treatment. But just then, Ka-ching appeared once again & attacked Ken, by trapping him in a big load of coins.
The Red & Yellow Ranger had arrived on the scene & wondered who could've kept Ken inside there. Their thoughts went to Wilson, but Ken told them it was Ka-ching who started it all. He transformed into the Blue Ranger & was able to break free.
Connor saw the whole thing & thought to himself, "Cool."
As they fought Ka-ching, he kept attacking with flying coins coming out of the cash register machine that was on him. The fight continued & led them to a pier.
"You keep on fighting, I'll make you rich," said Ka-ching.
"How much money are we talking about?" asked the leader.
The other two looked at him as if to say, 'What has gotten into him?'
"I mean...never," said the Red Ranger, changing his answer.
"You weren't joking were you?" wondered Ken.
"Of course I was. Had you going though, didn't I?" asked the Red Ranger.
"It's time for a little change," said Ka-ching, as he fired the coins from the cash-register on his body, causing the Rangers to stumble.
"Guys...hang on," said a voice.
They turned & saw the Black Ranger heading their way.
"It's the Black Ranger," said the Yellow Ranger.
"Here...take one," said the Black Ranger, getting a piggy bank.
"Oh...so you've brought piggy banks with you huh? Well...let me fill them up," said Ka-ching, as he fired his coins at them.
The Rangers were able to catch a lot of coins, but it didn't hold up for long. Soon, they got bombarded with coins again, causing them to drop the piggy banks.
Just then...Whacker Wilson came with the bulging bags of cash & began bragging about it. Ken tried to make him snap out of it, & knew of only one way.
"Now batting...No. 1, Whacker Wilson. Batter up," said Ken, as he threw the kitten piggy bank at Wilson, hoping he'd snap out of the trance & hit it. Turns out...that he did break it off & hit the piggy bank right back at Ka- ching, knocking him out for a few seconds. But then...a few seconds later... he woke up & charged on the Rangers. The only way to defeat it, was to combine their weapons to form the Z-Rex blaster. As soon as it fired & defeated Ka-ching, Connor just jumped into the air & cheered like crazy, finally starting to enjoy it. As soon as he calmed down, he tried to catch his breath from all the excitement, & said, "That was pretty cool."
"See...we're not so different from them," said Kira.
The next day...Kira & Ethan went to look for Connor at Haley's Cyberspace & found him watching a re-run of the episode that they had just seen.
"You just had to come back here to catch a re-run of this?" asked Ethan, surprised.
"Yeah, I did," said Connor.
Kira looked over his shoulder & saw what his report's title was.
"American vs. Japanese Culture, Closer than We Think," read Kira.
"I just realized something, on how our style is not so different from theirs," said Connor.
"You didn't go into too much detail, right?" asked Ethan, a bit nervous.
"Course not. And I just realized another thing," said Connor.
Ethan & Kira made a quick glance at each other & then back to Connor.
"The Red Ranger rocks," said Connor.
"No way, the Blue Ranger was the best," said Ethan, as they all began to head out of the Cyber-café.
"As if. They wouldn't have been able to defeat that fluff-ball without the Yellow Ranger," said Kira. This brought a laugh from the other guys, because...of course...they all enjoyed it.
Just then...their communicators had just gone off. They went to a certain area so as not to be seen.
"Go, this is Connor," he said into his communicator.
"Connor...it's Jason. Can you guys meet me at Dr. O's place? There's something I need to talk to you guys about," said Jason.
"We're on our way," said Connor, & began to head for Dr. Oliver's house.
DONE! This was just about the most hardest chapter I have ever written. Okay, excluding my YGO duel on one of my stories. Now...you guys might be thinking this battle's over...WRONG. It is not even close to it yet. For those of you who've seen the episode when Trent goes to the good side, this is when Archbomber's back for round 2. If you think the monster in that episode was weird, wait'll you see what the Archer has in store for the Rangers. Plus... the 3 Rangers help Jason find a way to reunite Tommy & Kimberly, without them noticing. Ok, so maybe I've made it too close to 'Lost & Found in Translation'. My fault. Next chapter: "The Archer Returns: A Shocking Surprise & A Plan is Set Into Motion." I tried my best to not add many of the stuff from the episode as best as I can, I've decided to just try & describe it, the best I could.
R/R, please.
