I Will Remember You:
Hey...thanks to all who reviewed. For those of you who don't seem to understand about how Jason & Kimberly got back their powers...if you haven't read my previous chapters...then something is TOTALLY wrong with the information you've just received if you didn't read between the lines...if you can recall the battle on the moon with the Red Rangers against the Generals who resemble themselves as the BBBB (Big Bad Beetle Borgs.) from one of the PRWF epsiodes, they've NEVER mentioned of how Jason got back his powers. But......there's only one way I can put it. If you can recall an episode from the PRIS season...you'll notice that one of the original PR...named Adam, reveals a secret to Alpha that shocked him for good. And second... for those of you who've heard about what I just mentioned about the 4 B's...I know what you might think. There are some of you who've heard of them...& some who haven't. Myself...I used to watch it back as a little kid. It was pretty cool. Finally...for those of you who've read the information about how Tommy & the others got their powers back from Ninjor...& the explanation of how the animal spirits have a certain connection with them...then you've found out how Kimberly got back her powers. Of course...they've never mentioned this in ANY of the PR seasons...but hey...it's my idea. Ok, maybe not...but...it does go well with the situation that's about to happen in this chapter. Plus...the Rangers get a surprising shock...later on in this chapter. But...you guys might already know what I'm referring to anyway.

Chapter 5: "The Archer Returns: A Shocking Surprise & A Plan is Set Into Motion."
As soon as Connor, Ethan, & Kira received the message from Jason...they headed back to Tommy Oliver's place as fast as they could. From there...they went underground to the hidden base. Jason was at the monitors with Haley.
"Hey...we got the message. What's the problem?" asked Connor.
"She's gone," said Jason, simply.
"Who's gone," asked Kira.
"Kimberly," said Jason.
"What? She's gone? Again? But ...how?" asked Ethan.
"Whoa. Easy there. One too many questions," said Kira.
"We sort of went out to have a little 'Big Brother' kind of talk at the park. That's when those 'freaky dinos' showed up & also Zeltrax & that Archer appeared. We tried fighting them off as best as we could...but...to no avail...they grabbed her again," said Jason.
"They're called 'tyrannodrones', Jason," said Connor.
"Whatever, man," he said.
"Well...why didn't Haley call us?" asked Kira. "We would've been there to help you guys out."
"Unfortunately...the Archer had some devices to block the connection to your communicators &..." Haley stopped for a second.
Connor cocked an eyebrow & said, "And...what?"
"He's found a way to duplicate himself," said a voice.
The trio turned round to see Dr. Oliver standing at the doorway.
"Also...there's something you need to know about Jason's morphing abilities," said Tommy.
"Such as..." asked Connor, curiously.
He took out of his pocket...Jason morpher. It looked the same...except for one thing.
"What's wrong with the power coin? It's like...someone or something with sharp claws just scratched at it," said Ethan.
"Actually...when Serpentera was about to be revived...I searched among the rubble of the command center to find my morpher. It wasn't easy. Once I found it again...I headed back to join the other Red Rangers. From there...we met Cole, Leader of the Wild Force team. Aboard Andros' space ship... we discussed the problem with the Rangers... & our plan to stop them. But once we fought of 3 of the 4 generals... the last one...was able to board Serpentera & revive it. If it wasn't for Cole & his Falcon cycle...Earth...would've been controlled by the Machine Empire. But... after a while...I knew the coins had lost their power. I have no idea of how there were still remnants of it left... but...unfortunately...this morpher has its limits," said Jason.
"But...if it has its limits...how come you were able to morph?" asked Ethan.
"According to the examination of the morpher...it seems that there's a certain amt. of time before the power is completely gone. Once Jason reaches his limit...he's powerless...forever," explained Haley.
"And besides that...there's something else that I need to show you guys," said Tommy as he went to the monitors & pushed a button to reveal a secret to the 3 Rangers.
On the screen...were Carlos & Adam fighting one of Astronema's monsters. And...also a bigger shock to the 3 Rangers.
"Wait...two Black Rangers...this I can't even dig," said Ethan.
"Whatever, dude," said Connor.
"What's happening to him?" wondered Kira, as she watched Adam trying to control whatever amt. of power he had left in him as a Ranger.
"But wait...I thought they were destroyed," said Carlos.
"They were...but not completely. Luckily...there's still some power left in it. But not enough for me to fight though," said Adam.
"So...if there was some power left within them...then how come they have problem morphing?" asked Connor.
"Were you not paying attention...they said that it has its limits. If they exceeded those limits...they'll lose their powers...for good," said Kira.
"So where does Kimberly fit into all this?" asked Ethan.
"As a matter of fact...I'm betting that he's going to use the power extractor on her...like he tried to do to me," said Tommy.
"Fortunately...that takes time. In order to power up the extractor...half of the power from the entire fortress must be used in order for the extractor to use its full energy," said Haley.
"But wait...doesn't that mean that it'll also weaken his defenses?" asked Ethan.
"Exactly," said Haley.
Meanwhile...back at Mesogog's island fortress...Kimberly was being held captive in one of Mesogog's prison cells. While Mesogog was talking with Elsa about their plan to defeat the Rangers...Zeltrax happened to have interrupted them, causing Mesogog...to be very angry.
"My lord...let me explain," said Zeltrax. "I was..."
"There's no need for you to explain...you half-witted, stupid excuse for a warrior, metal piece of scrap heap! I've already been told about you disobedience. I told you to keep an eye on her...instead...you take her & use her for your own stupid vengeance against the Black Ranger," said Mesogog, really ticked off.
"But master...I was on the verge of defeating the Rangers for you...once and for all," said Zeltrax.
"And yet...you still fail. Excuse after excuse... & more complaints from you...is what you have given me. Now...I want you both out of my sight... you miserable, cowardly, nitwits, while I think of a better way to punish you both. Or else...your punishment......will be your worst nightmare," said Mesogog.
Back at the underground base...
"Have you been able to find any leads on finding Kimberly?" asked Tommy.
"Unfortunately...no. Mesogog is smart. For a mutated dino freak. He's put up a firewall around the fortress. Not even the Raptor Cycles can get in now," said Haley.
"But...wait a minute...didn't you say that charging up the extractor requires half the power from the whole fortress?" asked Connor.
"Yes...so......wait a minute..." started Haley, suddenly coming up with something.
"Let me guess...you have a plan?" asked Jason.
"Actually...I do. But...it's going to be risky," said Haley.
Meanwhile...Trent...in his Ranger form...was out searching the city for an opponent that would prove to be a challenge. He then spotted Archbomber...who happened to be passing his way. But what he didn't notice...was that there was a small device he can use to copy things.
"Now there's a challenge," said the White Ranger.
"Huh?" wondered Archbomber as he looked up. "I'll take that ," he said, as he activated his copying device & copied the White Ranger's Drago Sword.
"Huh?" wondered the White Ranger, as he saw his weapon copied by Archbomber.
"Gotta go now. Bye, bye," said Archbomber & disappeared.
The White Ranger just stood there for a
"What was that all about?" wondered Trent.
Meanwhile...back at Mesogog's fortress...a few hours had passed & Mesogog & the others weren't around for a while. Kimberly...inside her prison cell began to notice that things were a bit too quiet around the fortress. One of the tyrannodrones was on guard, while Kimberly could just do nothing but sit & wait for someone to find her. Just then...she heard a strange sound & then a thump. Then...glass breaking, tables being turned over, & shelves falling. Obviously...to her...someone was making a mess. And then...she heard that strange sound again... & all of a sudden...silence. But that was just for a few minutes, when Mesogog came back & gave a loud roar of rage, which made Kimberly's blood run cold for a second... & heard him & Zeltrax talking at the lab.
"Who could have done this treachery?" wondered Mesogog.
Zeltrax looked around for a minute & answered, "I'm not sure my lord...obviously I had left some tyrannodrones to guard the fortress......oh no. I forgot to leave some here to guard the lab," realized Zeltrax.
"Years of research......years of experiments......gone. Who's responsible for this?" wondered Mesogog.
Zeltrax made another scan of the mess that was in the lab & spotted something most unlikely...to be found at a certain time. The White Ranger's Drago Sword.
"It's the White Ranger's weapon. But why would he have come here?" wondered Zeltrax.
"He's a power hog. He wants all of the power.........for himself. Rarr," roared Mesogog. "Go...find him...& bring him back to me."
"Yes master...right away," said Zeltrax, & disappeared to find Trent, the White Ranger.
"A White Ranger?" wondered Kimberly.
Meanwhile...back at the city, Archbomber was on the loose again attacking the city. And back at the base...the monitors began beeping, indicating that there was a monster attack. The Rangers turned to the screen...and were surprised to see a familiar foe attacking the city.
"The Archer's back?" asked Connor.
"Yeah...surprised?" asked Jason.
"Look...Jase...you have to stay here. Haley can explain the plan to you...while we take care of this guy," said Tommy.
"And leave you guys to battle that thing? No way," said Jason.
"Look...if Mesogog got his hands on you as well...there's no telling what he's going to do to you," said Tommy.
"You're talking to me...as though if you were going to talk to Kimberly about this," said Jason.
"Look...I'm also worried about her...but you don't have to add her to this. This conflict has already gone far enough," said Tommy.
"Uh...gentlemen...can we get going here?" asked Kira, trying to get the two Rangers attention.
Jason sighed...in defeat...knowing that Tommy was right. "All right. But if you guys need anything...call me right away."
"But...with you power diminishing...you might not be able to fight again," said Connor.
"He's right. You'll have to save your strength for later," said Tommy.
"Ready?" asked Connor.
"Ready," replied the other three, as their communicators became morphers.
"Dino thunder, power up! Ha!" they said together, & transformed to their Ranger form.
"Let's do it," said Connor, riding on his Raptor Cycle.
"Right behind ya, Connor," said Kira, also riding her Raptor Cycle, following after him.
"Yee haw," said Ethan, following the other two, while Tommy also went along on his Brachio motor bike.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha. That's right you cowards, run so I can destroy the city," laughed Archbomber.
"Think again, creep," said Connor, firing his lasers.
"Hey...save some for me," said Ethan, firing his lasers as well.
"Let's bomb this bomber," said Kira, following the other two.
Archbomber got knocked off his feet from the attacks, causing him to fall down a flight of stairs & into some tables & chairs. Tommy jumped off his motor bike did a quick somersault... & fired his attack from his Brachio staff.
"I'll take that. Copy..." said Archbomber as he copied Tommy's Brachio staff.
"What? That's impossible," said Connor, in shock.
"What a poser," said Ethan.
"This can't be good," said Kira.
"Brachio staff...fire," said Archbomber, firing the attack Tommy used right back at him. Luckily for Tommy...he was able to do a quick somersault to dodge the attack.
"We better be careful guys. This one's full of surprises," said Tommy.
Back at Mesogog's fortress... Kimberly was still waiting for someone to find her, & that one tyrannodrone was still watching her. Suddenly...Kimberly had an idea. It was going to be risky...but at least it'll work. She whistled over to the tyrannodrone...then did a little 'Follow me' sort of seductive look...causing the tyrannodrone to be a bit confused at first...but slowly went forward. Then...when the timing was right...she gave the tyrannodrone a quick sidekick to the chest, then...holding the bars ontop of the cell, swung herself & gave a glancing blow to the head, causing the tyrannodrone to be completely unconscious. She quickly spotted the keys, & was able to free herself, & put the unconscious tyrannodrone in her cell.
Kimberly knew she couldn't be spotted & had a tough time trying to hide. Hopefully...she would be spotted by her friends & not Mesogog.
Back at the battle...Archbomber had given the 4 Rangers a hard pounding by using their own weapons against them, as well as launching numerous arrows & cannon balls.
"Is that all you've got?" asked Archbomber.
"Hardly," said Connor.
"Let's give him a taste of his own medicine," said Ethan.
They combined the tyranno staff, tricera shield, ptera grips, & brachio staff to form the Z-Rex blaster.
"Copy..." said Archbomber, as he made a copy of the Z-Rex blaster.
"Uh-oh," said Ethan.
"Not good," said Kira.
"Fire," said Archbomber, as he fired the attack of the Z-Rex blaster at the Rangers, giving them a hard pounding & they could hardly stand up.
Meanwhile...back at Mesogog's island fortress...Trent had been captured by Zeltrax & his crew of triptoids, & left him tied up on the extractor, while Mesogog watched him struggle, trying to get out.
"Traitor," said Mesogog. "You'll pay for double-crossing me."
"Wait...what are you talking about? I haven't betrayed you," said Trent.
"I can't trust those who would turn behind my back. Therefore...you must be destroyed," said Mesogog, turning on the extractor.
"Dad...snap out of it. It's me Trent," he said, trying to convince him.
"Good-bye...White Ranger," said Mesogog, activating the extractor. Trent tried to fight the power of the extractor, but...the more he fought it, the faster it extracted his powers.
"Dad...don't do this. It's me," pleaded Trent. "Your son." After a few more seconds...he felt like he was going to pass out. But then...lady luck was on Trent's side, as Mesogog began to lose control of the formula & was slowly transforming back into Anton Mercer.
After a certain amt. of seconds...Anton Mercer was back to his regular self...for the moment. Trent suddenly noticed his father standing inside Mesogog's fortress...and also found out his dad's dark secret.
"Trent...Trent...are you ok?" asked Anton, quickly turning off the extractor, but in doing so...causing the White Dino gem's powers to ricochet around the lab. Anton was able to dodge it a few times...before it went back into the gem. Once that was over...Anton freed his son from the extractor, but was still exhausted from the transformation, as he tried to fight the effects of the formula.
"Dad...are you ok?" asked Trent.
"I'm fine Trent," said Anton.
"So...does that mean...no more White Ranger," wondered Trent, when he felt the power of the gem back inside.
"Trent...you've changed a lot. This proves it," said Anton.
"What are you talking about dad?" asked Trent.
"Trent...this means...that you can use this power...any way you want it," said Anton.
"I don't understand," said Trent.
"Trent......Trent..." panted Anton, trying to hang on, before Mesogog came back. "I want you to use your powers for something good."
The next few words that Anton was about to tell him...would change his life forever.
"I want you to use your powers...to help the other Rangers," said Anton.
"The other Rangers...but...dad...that's crazy. I can't fight against you," said Trent. "There has to be another way."
"No...listen to me son. Go...help the other Rangers. You must...otherwise...Mesogog's dream will come true. And I don't want that," said Anton.
"But I..." started Trent.
"Go! Don't argue with me. Just go," said Anton.
"Are you going to be ok?" asked Trent.
"Go, I'll find a way to stop it," said Anton.
"Ok dad. I won't tell them your secret," said Trent, as he headed out of the fortress, while Anton was trying to hang on for dear life.
Meanwhile...back at the city...the Rangers tried their best efforts to bring down Archbomber. But every trick they've tried...he just copied their weapons & struck back. It was like...fighting dark versions of themselves.
"Man...this guy is totally brutal," said Connor.
"I heard that," said Ethan.
"No kidding," said Kira.
"There's gotta be a weak spot somewhere," said Connor.
"You guys don't stand a chance against me. Prepare to meet your fate," said Archbomber...get ready for his final strike on the Rangers.
"Not on my watch," said a voice.
"Huh?" wondered Connor.
"Who's that?" wondered Kira.
"It can't be," said Tommy, in shock.
The White Ranger appeared on his Drago motor bike & fired his lasers at Archbomber.
"Hey guys. Thought you could use some help," said Trent.
"Ok. I'm like SO confused. Whose side is he really on?" wondered Kira.
Back at the underground base...Jason & Haley watched from the monitors. They too were just as puzzled & confused as the 4 Rangers.
"Ok. Wait a second...first he's evil & attacks them...then he has a changed up personality & starts to help them? What is wrong with this guy?" wondered Jason.
"You got me," said Haley, feeling completely puzzled.
Back at the battle site...Trent, the White Ranger, dismounted from his motor bike & began his attack on Archbomber. First...he went into his super-fast speed mode of attack & began slashing away with his Drago sword at different angles but still using that same speed.
But as if that wasn't enough to intimidate Archbomber...he used his copy device to copy the Drago sword & did the same attack on Trent...that was on him.
"Ok...I'm confused. Just who are we supposed to fight?" wondered Kira.
"Beats me," said Ethan, confused like Kira was.
"Is that all you've got?" asked Archbomber. "You're not even a challenge."
"I'll make you reconsider that," said the White Ranger. "Super Dino Mode!"
Once he summoned it...it turned out to be different from the other 4's Super Dino Mode. The plates came out...but more likely as blades. The small plate on the top of the 4 Ranger's gloves didn't come out...but on Trent's...it did come out...again...as blades. The 4 Rangers looked in awe at the White Ranger's Super Dino Mode & were surprised.
"Whoa...he's got 'Super Dino Mode'," said Connor, still in shock & surprise.
"And I like it," said Trent, looking at himself, impressed, & filled with power.
"You think THAT could stop me," said Archbomber. "Take this." He fired his cannon balls, creating a huge explosion & a lot of smoke. Thinking that he was gone, he said, "Bye-bye, White Ranger."
"I don't think so. We're not done yet," said Trent, as he took to the air & went straight for Archbomber, pinning him to a tree, & struck with the ends from the blades that were from his gloves.
"Wait...I thought we were on the same side," said Archbomber.
"Not anymore," said Trent, as he struck one last time in an X formation, bringing down the Archer...once and for all.
Back at Mesogog's fortress...Kimberly was still in the fortress...being lucky in finding hiding places & hid inside an air vent above Mesogog & Elsa.
"This...is...unforgivable. He will surely pay," said Mesogog, as he activated the Hydro-regenerator.
Back at the city...Archbomber had just been revived from the hydro- regenerator & looked bigger & badder than ever.
"Time to say...bomb voyage, Rangers," said Archbomber.
"Brachio, activate," said Tommy, into his communicator.
Just on cue...the Brachiozord activated & released the 3 zords from it's compartments.
"Let's do it," said Connor.
"All right," said Ethan.
"Right behind you," said Kira, as she followed the other 2.
"Tyranno power," said Connor, as he entered his zord.
"Tricera power," said Ethan, as he followed Connor.
"Ptera power," said Kira, as she entered her zord.
"THUNDERSAURUSMEGAZORD!" they said together.
As soon as the 3 zords combined... Archbomber & the Thundersaurus megazord began to go at each other, while Tommy watch from below.
"That's it, keep it together guys," said Tommy, unaware that he was about to be attacked.
Just as soon as he turned around, Zeltrax made a surprising attack on Tommy, causing him to fall back from the attack.
"I've been waiting for this day...for a long time," said Zeltrax.
"Don't think you've beaten me yet, Zeltrax," said Tommy.
"We'll see about that," said Zeltrax, getting ready to strike.
But just as he was about to attack, Trent jumped in-between them & threw Zeltrax off, causing him to roll off & hit a tree. As he helped Tommy to his feet, Zeltrax began to charge at both of them. Tommy & Trent both got out of the way, & Zeltrax began his attack on Tommy, by using his sword to try & get the upper hand on him. Tommy, quickly took out his staff & blocked Zeltrax's attack just as he was about to get hit by one. But Zeltrax used his shield to block Tommy's attack, & tried to strike back...but got hit on the side when Tommy did a roundhouse kick, causing him to stumble back. Then...Trent came in, gave a glancing blow to Zeltrax's chest with a sidekick, struck with his Drago sword, & finished it off with a roundhouse & reverse roundhouse kick to knock away Zeltrax's sword...& also made him get thrown back hard.
"You'll pay for that...traitor," said Zeltrax, & disappeared through an invisoportal.
Meanwhile...back at the battle between the Thundersaurusmegazord & Archbomber... Archbomber had just sent cannon balls & a shower of arrows at the Rangers, knocking them down like 3 times.
"Desperate times...calls for desperate measures," said Ethan.
"I heard that," said Kira.
"Let's do it," said Connor.
The Thundersaurusmegazord quickly got back up on its feet...& began to make its final attack on the Archer.
"Ptera-rang," said Kira.
The Thundersaurusmegazord took out the Ptera-rang...which looked like a huge boomerang, & launched it at Archbomber, causing him to stumble backwards after being hit twice.
"Ankylozord," called out Ethan.
The Brachiozord opened its top compartment & out came the Ankylozord.
"What's that thing?" wondered Archbomber.
"Ankyolozord...weapon formation," said the Dino Rangers.
The Tricerazord detached itself from the megazord & the Ankylozord took its place. Archbomber was surprised & panicked...&...to REALLY surprise the Rangers...managed to make a copy of himself & multiply.
"Dr. O...we've got a major multiplication problem on our hands," said Connor.
"Hang in there guys, just try to calm down & concentrate," said Tommy.
"Dr. Oliver...heads up," said Trent.
"Whoa... hello," said Tommy, as he dodged Zeltrax's attack just by an inch.
"All right...just calm down & concentrate," said Connor.
"You think you have what it takes to defeat me?" asked Archbomber.
"Kira...fire the Ptera-rang again...maybe it'll reduce the number & help us find the real Archbomber," said Ethan.
"It's worth a shot, Ptera-rang," called out Kira.
Indeed...just as Ethan said, the Ptera-rang came out & did its work of destroying the copies & narrowing it down to 3.
"Not good enough though," said Ethan.
"Don't worry guys...I've got an idea," said Connor.
"This better be good," said Ethan.
"You'll pay for that," said Archbomber...firing his arrows at the Rangers.
Right on cue...the Thundersaurusmegazord raised the shield, causing the arrows to redirect its attack right back at Archbomber & his remaining two copies, causing him to fall back from the blast.
"Thundersaurusmegazord..." said the 3 Dino Rangers.
"Uh-oh...I'm outta here," said Archbomber, trying to run. Unfortunately...he wasn't fast enough.
"Double-drill attack," said the Dino Rangers together.
The drills began to spin to its full power & struck Archbomber in an X formation, finally defeating him.
"I've been marked...aghhhhhh," screamed Archbomber, before exploding.
Kira suddenly turned to Connor & said, "We should go check on Dr. O."
"For once...I agree," said Connor.
As soon as they dismounted from their zords...it appears that Tommy was ok. But...the 3 Rangers were still a bit confused about whose side Trent was on.
"Relax guys...he's on our side," said Tommy.
"Really...well...I'm not fully convinced," said Connor.
"I'll explain later. Right now...let's head back," said Tommy.
Meanwhile...back at Mesogog's island fortress...Mesogog wasn't pleased with Zeltrax's progress. Heck...he wasn't even pleased with his performance.
"You've failed me once again, Zeltrax," said Mesogog.
"Please...master, I tried my best. Please don't take this too personally," pleaded Zeltrax.
"Perhaps...I should end your miserable existence right now," said Mesogog.
"But sir...I would never betray you like the White Ranger did," said Zeltrax.
"That may be true...but...perhaps you can try & redeem yourself...after I've thought of your punishment. Now go...get out of my sight...before I REALLY end your existence, you piece of scrap metal heap, lame excuse of a warrior, & a complete failure," said Mesogog.
Meanwhile...back at the underground base...Jason had just told them that they had almost found a weakness on Mesogog's fortress. And...that Haley had just explained to him about the plan of getting Kimberly out.
"That's great. Although...wouldn't you guys need a distraction?" asked Ethan.
"Yeah...we do," said Haley.
"But... Dr. O...how exactly can you be sure that we can trust Trent?" asked Connor, still not fully convinced.
"Because...he saved my life," said Tommy.
"Well...can't argue with that," said Ethan.
"I agree," said Kira.
Connor...sighing in defeat...knowing he was beaten in this vote...said, "I suppose. Welcome aboard then."
"Hey Connor...wasn't there a rule that says 'All new members are supposed to do some cleaning'?" asked Ethan.
Jason knew quite well that they had just made that up, out of their own heads.
"Yeah," said Connor, giving Trent a bucket filled with cleaning equipment.
"Wh-what? What's all this for?" asked Trent.
"You're supposed to be cleaning the zords," said Kira, chuckling.
"What? But those things are like 50 ft. tall," whined Trent, as he went out.
"Yeah...exactly," said Connor, motioning Trent to head out of the room.
"Uh...guys..." started Haley.
"What?" asked Connor.
"We're actually going to need him in our plan," said Haley.
Trent groaned in annoyance knowing that it wasn't a good thing. "Why me?" he whined.
"Because you used to be with them. We just need you to distract them long enough for us to find Kimberly," said Haley.
"I had a feeling that you'd say that," said Trent.
Just then...the monitors began beeping...indicating that it has found something.
"What? Did it find a weak spot?" asked Tommy.
"Actually...the barriers are weakening & so is the firewall," said Haley. "Must be charging up the extractor."
"Hopefully, we can get to Kimberly, right before they fire up the extractor," said Tommy.
"I'm coming with you guys," said Jason.
"No...it's too dangerous," said Tommy.
"Hey...I was the one responsible for looking after her. And besides...don't you want to see her again?" asked Jason.
"Of course I do," said Tommy.
"Then...you're going to need my help," answered Jason.
"Why do you think we need your help?" asked Connor.
"Because...you're going to need someone to take care of the tyrannodrones, buy you time in order to get Kimberly out, & to also buy time to get out of the island fortress," replied Jason.
"I hate to admit it...but the old leader's got a point," said Ethan.
"I'd have to agree with Ethan here," said Kira.
"All right," said Connor.
"You guys ready?" asked Connor.
"Ready," replied the other 3.
"Let's do it," said Tommy, activating his morpher.
"Dino thunder, power up! Ha!" they said in unison.
"White Ranger power," said Trent, as he transformed into the White Ranger.
"It's morphin time," said Jason, as he activated his morpher. "Tyrannosaurus," he called out, & was back to his Ranger mode.
"I've got a lock on an invisoportal. I'm sending the coordinates to you guys," said Haley, as she entered in the coordinates.
"Great...thanks Haley," said Tommy, as he & Jason rode on his Brachio motor bike, while the 3 other Rangers rode on their Raptor Cycles, & Trent followed on his Drago motor bike.
"Hate to interrupt but...where'd you get this?" asked Jason, over the loud noise the motor bikes & Raptor cycles were making.
"Actually...Trent gave this to me...back when he used to still be evil. He also happened to have had his own motor bike & challenged me to a fight," said Tommy.
"I see," said Jason.
"According to the coordinates that Haley gave us...the invisoportal should be...at the place where we went to get Dr. O," said Connor.
"Of course...that's the same place we went to find the invisoportal," said Ethan.
"Duh...you think," said Kira.
But just as they were about to enter it...they lost control of their vehicles for a short second & Jason was thrown off the Brachio motor bike from the blast. They looked up & saw Zeltrax, Elsa, & a small number of tyrannodrones & triptoids blocking the way.
"You're not going there unless you're in chains," said Zeltrax.
"If you're trying to rescue your girlfriend...you're going to have to get past us first," said Elsa.
"Gladly," said Tommy, firing up the throttle.
"Let's get 'em guys," said Connor.
"Right with ya," said Kira.
"Let's roll these posers," said Ethan.
"Attack!" commanded Zeltrax, & the tyrannodrones & triptoids surged forward at the Rangers.
Jason jumped off of Tommy's motor bike by doing a backflip, & taking out his blaster, fired at 4 tyrannodrones, before taking out his sword & striking down 3 triptoids as well. Connor just fired the lasers from his Raptor cycle as he blew right past a small group of 5 tyrannodrones & 4 triptoids. Ethan had just happened to have done the same thing, except one triptoid managed to get onto his Raptor cycle. He gave it a quickjab in the stomach, causing it to fly back & tumble into a few other triptoids. Kira also fired her lasers before taking to the air, got off of her Raptor cycle & used her blaster to take care of the remaining tyrannodrones & triptoids.
As for Tommy & Trent, they dismounted their motor bikes & Tommy went after Zeltrax, while Trent went after Elsa. Zeltrax managed to have blocked their swords & pushed them back with his shield before striking with his sword. Tommy tried to do a low kick to trip Zeltrax, but Zeltrax was lucky enough to jump out of the way, but not before Tommy did a roundhouse kick & gave a glancing blow to Zeltrax's head.
Meanwhile...Elsa fought Trent with her sword & was not surprised to see him again. She kept striking with her sword, while Trent began to block them. Suddenly...Trent spotted his chance & used his right foot to hold down Elsa's sword, while she struggled to get it off of him.
"Mesogog won't be pleased once he sees you again," said Elsa.
"Well...you can tell him I'm no longer interested in joining his crew," said Trent.
Elsa still tried to get her sword off as she said, "I'll make you eat those words."
"Get real. You guys are still no match for me," said Trent, as he elbowed Elsa in the stomach, causing her to stumble back. Just then...Trent unleashed his arrow attack, causing Elsa to be thrown back & into the river.
"This is far from over, White Ranger," said Elsa & disappeared.
"Give it up Zeltrax," said Tommy.
"You wish, Dr. Oliver," said Zeltrax.
"Well... you asked for it," said Tommy. "Brachio staff...energy ball," he said as he rotated his staff into a fully round energy ball & sent it straight towards Zeltrax, entrapping him & giving him a hard pounding. Then...he unleashed both his Wind & Fire attack, giving Zeltrax a whole new meaning to the phrase, 'Turn up the heat.'
"This isn't over, Dr. Oliver," said Zeltrax & disappeared.
"All right guys. Let's go," said Tommy, mounting back on his motor bike, with Trent doing the same & Jason getting back on Tommy's Brachio motor bike.
The 3 other Rangers did the same & ignited their throttles.
"Ready?" asked Kira.
"Punch it," said Connor, turning on the throttle. Reaching up to speed of 98 mi. an hour...they were able to make it through the invisoportal leading to Mesogog's island fortress right before it closed. Once inside...they parked their vehicles at the entrance, while Trent scouted ahead & tried to find Mesogog's lab, while the other's followed. But just as they were about to reach the lab...Mesogog blocked their way.
"So...we meet again...and the traitor's back," said Mesogog, referring the traitor to Trent.
"Who the heck is this guy?" asked Jason.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am...Mesogog," said the scaly, dino-like creature.
"Like we could forget that?" said Kira.
"Looks like...you could all use...a bit of...discipline," said Mesogog, preparing to use his mind blast on them. But just as he fired it...Zeltrax & Elsa intercepted it.
"Come on...this way," said Trent, running through the hallway to Mesogog's lab.
"Let's go," said Tommy.
"Right behind ya," said Jason.
"Wait for us," said Connor.
"Fools...stop them," commanded Mesogog.
Just as they reached the lab...they could see someone strapped onto the extractor chair. It was Kimberly. But before they could get to her...they had to get pass 3 tyrannodrones who were guarding her. Jason & Trent dealt with them, while Tommy quickly ran to the controls & hit a button to close the door of the lab, stopping Mesogog & the others in their tracks for a short while.
"It's about time you guys showed up," said Kimberly.
"We're just glad you're ok," said Ethan.
"How did you get there?" asked Connor.
"I'll explain later...right now, we've gotta get out of here," said Kimberly.
"I'll take care of that," said Tommy, as he found the button that activated the invisoportal network, causing an invisoportal to appear inside the lab.
Just as they were about to head for the portal...Mesogog & the others were able to get back in the lab.
"So tell me...why didn't you go into your Ninja mode to fight off these tyrannodrones?" asked Connor.
"How could I when they got a hold of me?" retorted Kimberly.
"Oh...right," said Connor, realizing that she had a point.
"Ninja Ranger...or not...you're mine now," said Mesogog, cornering them.
"I hate it when he gets like this," said Tommy, getting ready to fight again.
"Don't worry Dr. O, we'll take it from here," said Connor.
"Hey...don't leave me out of the party," said Trent.
"Of course not," said Kira.
"Attack," commanded Mesogog.
As soon as the order was given...Zeltrax, Elsa, & a few tyrannodrones surged forward. Connor went for Elsa, Tommy went for Zeltrax, Trent went for Mesogog, & Ethan, Kira, Jason, & Kimberly went for the tyrannodrones.
Connor charged forward with his Thunder Max Saber, while Elsa countered with her sword. She kept attacking, while Connor had to keep blocking them. Zeltrax resumed his fight with Tommy, being so worked up with his revenge for him, Trent tried to land some blows on Mesogog, but despite his best effort, he was thrown off & hit the machine of the geno-randomizer. Jason & Kimberly teamed up managed to knock off a few tyrannodrones, while Ethan used his Tricera shield to throw back some of the tyrannodrones or strike with the tip of his shield, while Kira, using her ptera grips...knocked one of the tyrannodrones onto one of the tables & knocking over a few specimens for experiments encased in glass.
Meanwhile...back at the battle between Tommy & Zeltrax, Zeltrax still continued to bring on the attacks & Tommy still had to block them. Suddenly...their weapons locked together & both struggled to get it unlocked.
"You will never be rid of me, Dr. Oliver. I swore to have my revenge on you & it looks like I will get it," said Zeltrax.
"I still have no idea what you're talking about," said Tommy.
"Then let me explain it for you," said Zeltrax, suddenly unlocking their weapons & tried to strike back at Tommy, but Tommy grinded his weapon on Zeltrax's sword, ran forward, & struck hard on Zeltrax, causing him to stumble back.
"Brachio staff, energy ball attack," said Tommy, as he rotated the staff to a full circle & launched his attack, trapping Zeltrax, & then unleashed his fire attack right after Zeltrax got hit from the energy ball, full blast. The force was so strong, that it caused him to be blown back & hit Elsa, as she got her sword knocked off when Connor did a low kick & sent it straight under the hydro-regenerator's console & also got hit by Connor when he gave Elsa a glancing blow to the side by a roundhouse & reverse roundhouse kick, nearly knocking the wind out of her.
As soon as Ethan, Kira, Jason, & Kimberly took care of the tyrannodrones & Connor took care of Elsa... Tommy told them to enter the portal & wait for them. They did so, just as he was about to help Trent go at Mesogog. But even though they teamed up...despite their best effort...they both got knocked back & hit the geno-randomizer hard.
"Your efforts are futile & pathetic," said Mesogog.
"We'll see about that," said Trent, as he tried to attack again with his Drago sword.
"Trent...wait," said Tommy, trying to stop him.
But Mesogog blocked the blow & struck Trent, causing him to be thrown back again. But...even though he was down for a while, he was able to launch his arrow attack, giving them time to escape to the invisoportal. As soon as the smoke cleared, Mesogog could see that they had already escaped.
"Fools......you let them get away," said Mesogog. "Find them."
"Yes master," said Elsa & Zeltrax, as they left the lab & went to pursue them.
As soon as Tommy & Trent got out of the lab, Connor, Ethan, & Kira were already on their Raptor Cycles. Jason was waiting on Trent's Drago motor bike, & Kimberly was waiting on Tommy's Brachio motor bike.
"You guys ok?" asked Connor.
"We'll be fine. Go, we're right behind you," said Tommy.
"All right," said Connor, as he, Ethan, & Kira left through the invisoportal.
Just as Tommy & Trent mounted their motor bikes, Zeltrax & Elsa tried to attack from behind right before they reached the portal. But...to no avail...they were able to reach the portal just as the attacks were unleashed. They tried to follow...but the invisoportal disappeared. And Mesogog was right behind Elsa & Zeltrax, watching their performance. Obviously...he wasn't too pleased with them & unleashed his mind blast on them as their punishment... the duration...much longer than usual.
As soon as Connor & the others got out of the invisoportal, they turned & waited for Tommy & Trent. Just as they thought they weren't able to get out...they came flying through the invisoportal & joined up with them.
"Man...I thought we lost you there," said Connor.
"Let's just call it luck for now," said Trent.
"I heard that," said Kira.
"So...how was she able to get out of the prison cell?" wondered Ethan.
"Well...actually...I managed to use my sort of seductive look on one of the guards & managed to knock it out & take the keys in order to free myself," explained Kimberly.
"Wow...pretty clever," said Connor.
"Clever......that was brilliant," said Ethan.
"Thanks guys," said Kimberly.
"Why don't we head back to Haley's Cyberspace for some r/r," suggested Tommy.
"Sounds good to me," said Kira.
"Same here," said Ethan.
"Ditto on that," said Connor.
As soon as they arrived at Haley's Cyberspace...they were surprised to see how many teenagers were around. And...Trent was back on the job again...serving up drinks & stuff. Connor suddenly noticed the huge grin on Haley's face knowing that she was glad to have Trent back working again at her place.
"Looks like someone's happy today," said Connor.
"Just glad to have Trent back again," said Haley.
"Not to mention that he's back to his old self again," said Kira.
"I'm just glad to be back to normal again," said Trent.
"Hey...you're one of us now," said Kira.
"Yeah...& no more secrets," said Connor.
"Right............no more secrets," he said softly, suddenly remembering what he promised his dad, Anton Mercer. To not tell the others about his dark secret.
"Hello...waiter...where's my latte," said a female voice.
"Who's that?" asked Kimberly, pointing to the girl at the laptops.
"Oh...that's Cassidy. She tends to want to get attention these days just for trying to be a news reporter. Thinks she owns everything," said Kira.
"Sounds like you get annoyed with her easily," said Jason.
"Yeah...we do," said Ethan.
"The one in front of her is Devin, her cameraman," said Connor.
"She tends to be bossy around him a lot," said Kira.
"I can see that," said Kimberly.
"Here's your latte," said Trent, handing Cassidy her latte.
"It's about time," said Cassidy, getting frustrated.
"You know who they remind me of?" asked Kimberly.
"Who?" wondered Connor.
"Bulk & Skull," said Jason.
"Who are they?" asked Ethan.
"Bulk & Skull were...sort of like...the bullies at our school," said Tommy.
"Really?" asked Ethan.
"Yeah, they were," said Jason.
"Course...they tend to make us laugh every time they mess up," said Kimberly.
"I see," said Connor.
"Hey...Kira...can I talk to you for a minute," asked Jason.
"Who...me?" asked Kira.
Jason nodded.
"Can you guys excuse me for a minute?" asked Kira.
"Sure," said Ethan.
As Jason & Kira went to a certain spot & sat on the red couch, she asked, "So...what's up?"
"Has Tommy ever shown you a picture of us while sorting out his work?" asked Jason.
"Yeah...when you guys were Power Rangers," said Kira.
"Did you seem to notice how close they were to each other during the battle?" asked Jason.
"Now that you've mentioned it......it seems like they're completely attached to each other," said Kira.
"That's because they're into each other," said Jason.
"Huh?" wondered Kira.
"They're in love with each other," said Jason.
"Why didn't he tell me?" wondered Kira.
"I'm sure he had his reasons," said Jason. "They always stuck together, during every battle, they've managed to stay together even through the most hardest of situations. Whenever Tommy was in trouble, Kimberly always put him before her, & Tommy did the same."
"Talk about major commitment to each other," said Kira, suddenly starting to understand what Jason was telling her.
"They were the ones who invented Ranger love anyway," said Jason, slightly chuckling.
"I can see your point," said Kira, also making a slight giggle.
"Their bond was tight, their commitment to each other...inseparable...well...at least I thought it was," said Jason.
"Wait...she left & this one girl named Katherine took her place as the Pink Ranger...right?" guessed Kira.
"Right. Anyway...once Tommy received the letter from Kimberly, he was devastated & thought she had totally forgotten about him," said Jason.
"Oh...poor Dr. O," said Kira, suddenly feeling bad for him. "Speaking of which...we sort of heard them fighting downstairs."
"Yeah. I heard it too, considering how loud they yelled," said Jason.
"I heard that," said Tommy & Kimberly.
"Speaking of which...I'm trying to get them together, despite the fact that they might continue fighting," said Jason. "Think you & your friends can help me out?"
"Sure...I mean...of course. Just gotta hope they don't know about it," said Kira.
"Great. Here's the plan..." said Jason, as he began to quietly explain it to Kira in detail.
Done! That one took a while. Sorry that I couldn't tell you guys about the plan. And...if you've noticed anything familiar from PRIS, I tried my best to recall what happened on that episode & put it in here. Second... you might recognize some lines from certain PRDT episodes. And third...I also tried my best to do the explaining on Jason's powers & explaining the problem about Serpetera being revived from PRWF. Like I said...it was NEVER mentioned in any episode...on how Jason could've gotten his powers back, & it was my idea anyway. My last chapter is going to be when Jason's plan is being put into action. Oh...and just on another note here...I plan to try & add a song to this last chapter. Not going to be easy to find though. So...it'll take a while before I find it. Final chapter: "The Reunion: Jason's Plan Is Set Into Action."
R/R, please.
Hey...thanks to all who reviewed. For those of you who don't seem to understand about how Jason & Kimberly got back their powers...if you haven't read my previous chapters...then something is TOTALLY wrong with the information you've just received if you didn't read between the lines...if you can recall the battle on the moon with the Red Rangers against the Generals who resemble themselves as the BBBB (Big Bad Beetle Borgs.) from one of the PRWF epsiodes, they've NEVER mentioned of how Jason got back his powers. But......there's only one way I can put it. If you can recall an episode from the PRIS season...you'll notice that one of the original PR...named Adam, reveals a secret to Alpha that shocked him for good. And second... for those of you who've heard about what I just mentioned about the 4 B's...I know what you might think. There are some of you who've heard of them...& some who haven't. Myself...I used to watch it back as a little kid. It was pretty cool. Finally...for those of you who've read the information about how Tommy & the others got their powers back from Ninjor...& the explanation of how the animal spirits have a certain connection with them...then you've found out how Kimberly got back her powers. Of course...they've never mentioned this in ANY of the PR seasons...but hey...it's my idea. Ok, maybe not...but...it does go well with the situation that's about to happen in this chapter. Plus...the Rangers get a surprising shock...later on in this chapter. But...you guys might already know what I'm referring to anyway.

Enjoy!
Chapter 5: "The Archer Returns: A Shocking Surprise & A Plan is Set Into Motion."
As soon as Connor, Ethan, & Kira received the message from Jason...they headed back to Tommy Oliver's place as fast as they could. From there...they went underground to the hidden base. Jason was at the monitors with Haley.
"Hey...we got the message. What's the problem?" asked Connor.
"She's gone," said Jason, simply.
"Who's gone," asked Kira.
"Kimberly," said Jason.
"What? She's gone? Again? But ...how?" asked Ethan.
"Whoa. Easy there. One too many questions," said Kira.
"We sort of went out to have a little 'Big Brother' kind of talk at the park. That's when those 'freaky dinos' showed up & also Zeltrax & that Archer appeared. We tried fighting them off as best as we could...but...to no avail...they grabbed her again," said Jason.
"They're called 'tyrannodrones', Jason," said Connor.
"Whatever, man," he said.
"Well...why didn't Haley call us?" asked Kira. "We would've been there to help you guys out."
"Unfortunately...the Archer had some devices to block the connection to your communicators &..." Haley stopped for a second.
Connor cocked an eyebrow & said, "And...what?"
"He's found a way to duplicate himself," said a voice.
The trio turned round to see Dr. Oliver standing at the doorway.
"Also...there's something you need to know about Jason's morphing abilities," said Tommy.
"Such as..." asked Connor, curiously.
He took out of his pocket...Jason morpher. It looked the same...except for one thing.
"What's wrong with the power coin? It's like...someone or something with sharp claws just scratched at it," said Ethan.
"Actually...when Serpentera was about to be revived...I searched among the rubble of the command center to find my morpher. It wasn't easy. Once I found it again...I headed back to join the other Red Rangers. From there...we met Cole, Leader of the Wild Force team. Aboard Andros' space ship... we discussed the problem with the Rangers... & our plan to stop them. But once we fought of 3 of the 4 generals... the last one...was able to board Serpentera & revive it. If it wasn't for Cole & his Falcon cycle...Earth...would've been controlled by the Machine Empire. But... after a while...I knew the coins had lost their power. I have no idea of how there were still remnants of it left... but...unfortunately...this morpher has its limits," said Jason.
"But...if it has its limits...how come you were able to morph?" asked Ethan.
"According to the examination of the morpher...it seems that there's a certain amt. of time before the power is completely gone. Once Jason reaches his limit...he's powerless...forever," explained Haley.
"And besides that...there's something else that I need to show you guys," said Tommy as he went to the monitors & pushed a button to reveal a secret to the 3 Rangers.
On the screen...were Carlos & Adam fighting one of Astronema's monsters. And...also a bigger shock to the 3 Rangers.
"Wait...two Black Rangers...this I can't even dig," said Ethan.
"Whatever, dude," said Connor.
"What's happening to him?" wondered Kira, as she watched Adam trying to control whatever amt. of power he had left in him as a Ranger.
"But wait...I thought they were destroyed," said Carlos.
"They were...but not completely. Luckily...there's still some power left in it. But not enough for me to fight though," said Adam.
"So...if there was some power left within them...then how come they have problem morphing?" asked Connor.
"Were you not paying attention...they said that it has its limits. If they exceeded those limits...they'll lose their powers...for good," said Kira.
"So where does Kimberly fit into all this?" asked Ethan.
"As a matter of fact...I'm betting that he's going to use the power extractor on her...like he tried to do to me," said Tommy.
"Fortunately...that takes time. In order to power up the extractor...half of the power from the entire fortress must be used in order for the extractor to use its full energy," said Haley.
"But wait...doesn't that mean that it'll also weaken his defenses?" asked Ethan.
"Exactly," said Haley.
Meanwhile...back at Mesogog's island fortress...Kimberly was being held captive in one of Mesogog's prison cells. While Mesogog was talking with Elsa about their plan to defeat the Rangers...Zeltrax happened to have interrupted them, causing Mesogog...to be very angry.
"My lord...let me explain," said Zeltrax. "I was..."
"There's no need for you to explain...you half-witted, stupid excuse for a warrior, metal piece of scrap heap! I've already been told about you disobedience. I told you to keep an eye on her...instead...you take her & use her for your own stupid vengeance against the Black Ranger," said Mesogog, really ticked off.
"But master...I was on the verge of defeating the Rangers for you...once and for all," said Zeltrax.
"And yet...you still fail. Excuse after excuse... & more complaints from you...is what you have given me. Now...I want you both out of my sight... you miserable, cowardly, nitwits, while I think of a better way to punish you both. Or else...your punishment......will be your worst nightmare," said Mesogog.
Back at the underground base...
"Have you been able to find any leads on finding Kimberly?" asked Tommy.
"Unfortunately...no. Mesogog is smart. For a mutated dino freak. He's put up a firewall around the fortress. Not even the Raptor Cycles can get in now," said Haley.
"But...wait a minute...didn't you say that charging up the extractor requires half the power from the whole fortress?" asked Connor.
"Yes...so......wait a minute..." started Haley, suddenly coming up with something.
"Let me guess...you have a plan?" asked Jason.
"Actually...I do. But...it's going to be risky," said Haley.
Meanwhile...Trent...in his Ranger form...was out searching the city for an opponent that would prove to be a challenge. He then spotted Archbomber...who happened to be passing his way. But what he didn't notice...was that there was a small device he can use to copy things.
"Now there's a challenge," said the White Ranger.
"Huh?" wondered Archbomber as he looked up. "I'll take that ," he said, as he activated his copying device & copied the White Ranger's Drago Sword.
"Huh?" wondered the White Ranger, as he saw his weapon copied by Archbomber.
"Gotta go now. Bye, bye," said Archbomber & disappeared.
The White Ranger just stood there for a
"What was that all about?" wondered Trent.
Meanwhile...back at Mesogog's fortress...a few hours had passed & Mesogog & the others weren't around for a while. Kimberly...inside her prison cell began to notice that things were a bit too quiet around the fortress. One of the tyrannodrones was on guard, while Kimberly could just do nothing but sit & wait for someone to find her. Just then...she heard a strange sound & then a thump. Then...glass breaking, tables being turned over, & shelves falling. Obviously...to her...someone was making a mess. And then...she heard that strange sound again... & all of a sudden...silence. But that was just for a few minutes, when Mesogog came back & gave a loud roar of rage, which made Kimberly's blood run cold for a second... & heard him & Zeltrax talking at the lab.
"Who could have done this treachery?" wondered Mesogog.
Zeltrax looked around for a minute & answered, "I'm not sure my lord...obviously I had left some tyrannodrones to guard the fortress......oh no. I forgot to leave some here to guard the lab," realized Zeltrax.
"Years of research......years of experiments......gone. Who's responsible for this?" wondered Mesogog.
Zeltrax made another scan of the mess that was in the lab & spotted something most unlikely...to be found at a certain time. The White Ranger's Drago Sword.
"It's the White Ranger's weapon. But why would he have come here?" wondered Zeltrax.
"He's a power hog. He wants all of the power.........for himself. Rarr," roared Mesogog. "Go...find him...& bring him back to me."
"Yes master...right away," said Zeltrax, & disappeared to find Trent, the White Ranger.
"A White Ranger?" wondered Kimberly.
Meanwhile...back at the city, Archbomber was on the loose again attacking the city. And back at the base...the monitors began beeping, indicating that there was a monster attack. The Rangers turned to the screen...and were surprised to see a familiar foe attacking the city.
"The Archer's back?" asked Connor.
"Yeah...surprised?" asked Jason.
"Look...Jase...you have to stay here. Haley can explain the plan to you...while we take care of this guy," said Tommy.
"And leave you guys to battle that thing? No way," said Jason.
"Look...if Mesogog got his hands on you as well...there's no telling what he's going to do to you," said Tommy.
"You're talking to me...as though if you were going to talk to Kimberly about this," said Jason.
"Look...I'm also worried about her...but you don't have to add her to this. This conflict has already gone far enough," said Tommy.
"Uh...gentlemen...can we get going here?" asked Kira, trying to get the two Rangers attention.
Jason sighed...in defeat...knowing that Tommy was right. "All right. But if you guys need anything...call me right away."
"But...with you power diminishing...you might not be able to fight again," said Connor.
"He's right. You'll have to save your strength for later," said Tommy.
"Ready?" asked Connor.
"Ready," replied the other three, as their communicators became morphers.
"Dino thunder, power up! Ha!" they said together, & transformed to their Ranger form.
"Let's do it," said Connor, riding on his Raptor Cycle.
"Right behind ya, Connor," said Kira, also riding her Raptor Cycle, following after him.
"Yee haw," said Ethan, following the other two, while Tommy also went along on his Brachio motor bike.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha. That's right you cowards, run so I can destroy the city," laughed Archbomber.
"Think again, creep," said Connor, firing his lasers.
"Hey...save some for me," said Ethan, firing his lasers as well.
"Let's bomb this bomber," said Kira, following the other two.
Archbomber got knocked off his feet from the attacks, causing him to fall down a flight of stairs & into some tables & chairs. Tommy jumped off his motor bike did a quick somersault... & fired his attack from his Brachio staff.
"I'll take that. Copy..." said Archbomber as he copied Tommy's Brachio staff.
"What? That's impossible," said Connor, in shock.
"What a poser," said Ethan.
"This can't be good," said Kira.
"Brachio staff...fire," said Archbomber, firing the attack Tommy used right back at him. Luckily for Tommy...he was able to do a quick somersault to dodge the attack.
"We better be careful guys. This one's full of surprises," said Tommy.
Back at Mesogog's fortress... Kimberly was still waiting for someone to find her, & that one tyrannodrone was still watching her. Suddenly...Kimberly had an idea. It was going to be risky...but at least it'll work. She whistled over to the tyrannodrone...then did a little 'Follow me' sort of seductive look...causing the tyrannodrone to be a bit confused at first...but slowly went forward. Then...when the timing was right...she gave the tyrannodrone a quick sidekick to the chest, then...holding the bars ontop of the cell, swung herself & gave a glancing blow to the head, causing the tyrannodrone to be completely unconscious. She quickly spotted the keys, & was able to free herself, & put the unconscious tyrannodrone in her cell.
Kimberly knew she couldn't be spotted & had a tough time trying to hide. Hopefully...she would be spotted by her friends & not Mesogog.
Back at the battle...Archbomber had given the 4 Rangers a hard pounding by using their own weapons against them, as well as launching numerous arrows & cannon balls.
"Is that all you've got?" asked Archbomber.
"Hardly," said Connor.
"Let's give him a taste of his own medicine," said Ethan.
They combined the tyranno staff, tricera shield, ptera grips, & brachio staff to form the Z-Rex blaster.
"Copy..." said Archbomber, as he made a copy of the Z-Rex blaster.
"Uh-oh," said Ethan.
"Not good," said Kira.
"Fire," said Archbomber, as he fired the attack of the Z-Rex blaster at the Rangers, giving them a hard pounding & they could hardly stand up.
Meanwhile...back at Mesogog's island fortress...Trent had been captured by Zeltrax & his crew of triptoids, & left him tied up on the extractor, while Mesogog watched him struggle, trying to get out.
"Traitor," said Mesogog. "You'll pay for double-crossing me."
"Wait...what are you talking about? I haven't betrayed you," said Trent.
"I can't trust those who would turn behind my back. Therefore...you must be destroyed," said Mesogog, turning on the extractor.
"Dad...snap out of it. It's me Trent," he said, trying to convince him.
"Good-bye...White Ranger," said Mesogog, activating the extractor. Trent tried to fight the power of the extractor, but...the more he fought it, the faster it extracted his powers.
"Dad...don't do this. It's me," pleaded Trent. "Your son." After a few more seconds...he felt like he was going to pass out. But then...lady luck was on Trent's side, as Mesogog began to lose control of the formula & was slowly transforming back into Anton Mercer.
After a certain amt. of seconds...Anton Mercer was back to his regular self...for the moment. Trent suddenly noticed his father standing inside Mesogog's fortress...and also found out his dad's dark secret.
"Trent...Trent...are you ok?" asked Anton, quickly turning off the extractor, but in doing so...causing the White Dino gem's powers to ricochet around the lab. Anton was able to dodge it a few times...before it went back into the gem. Once that was over...Anton freed his son from the extractor, but was still exhausted from the transformation, as he tried to fight the effects of the formula.
"Dad...are you ok?" asked Trent.
"I'm fine Trent," said Anton.
"So...does that mean...no more White Ranger," wondered Trent, when he felt the power of the gem back inside.
"Trent...you've changed a lot. This proves it," said Anton.
"What are you talking about dad?" asked Trent.
"Trent...this means...that you can use this power...any way you want it," said Anton.
"I don't understand," said Trent.
"Trent......Trent..." panted Anton, trying to hang on, before Mesogog came back. "I want you to use your powers for something good."
The next few words that Anton was about to tell him...would change his life forever.
"I want you to use your powers...to help the other Rangers," said Anton.
"The other Rangers...but...dad...that's crazy. I can't fight against you," said Trent. "There has to be another way."
"No...listen to me son. Go...help the other Rangers. You must...otherwise...Mesogog's dream will come true. And I don't want that," said Anton.
"But I..." started Trent.
"Go! Don't argue with me. Just go," said Anton.
"Are you going to be ok?" asked Trent.
"Go, I'll find a way to stop it," said Anton.
"Ok dad. I won't tell them your secret," said Trent, as he headed out of the fortress, while Anton was trying to hang on for dear life.
Meanwhile...back at the city...the Rangers tried their best efforts to bring down Archbomber. But every trick they've tried...he just copied their weapons & struck back. It was like...fighting dark versions of themselves.
"Man...this guy is totally brutal," said Connor.
"I heard that," said Ethan.
"No kidding," said Kira.
"There's gotta be a weak spot somewhere," said Connor.
"You guys don't stand a chance against me. Prepare to meet your fate," said Archbomber...get ready for his final strike on the Rangers.
"Not on my watch," said a voice.
"Huh?" wondered Connor.
"Who's that?" wondered Kira.
"It can't be," said Tommy, in shock.
The White Ranger appeared on his Drago motor bike & fired his lasers at Archbomber.
"Hey guys. Thought you could use some help," said Trent.
"Ok. I'm like SO confused. Whose side is he really on?" wondered Kira.
Back at the underground base...Jason & Haley watched from the monitors. They too were just as puzzled & confused as the 4 Rangers.
"Ok. Wait a second...first he's evil & attacks them...then he has a changed up personality & starts to help them? What is wrong with this guy?" wondered Jason.
"You got me," said Haley, feeling completely puzzled.
Back at the battle site...Trent, the White Ranger, dismounted from his motor bike & began his attack on Archbomber. First...he went into his super-fast speed mode of attack & began slashing away with his Drago sword at different angles but still using that same speed.
But as if that wasn't enough to intimidate Archbomber...he used his copy device to copy the Drago sword & did the same attack on Trent...that was on him.
"Ok...I'm confused. Just who are we supposed to fight?" wondered Kira.
"Beats me," said Ethan, confused like Kira was.
"Is that all you've got?" asked Archbomber. "You're not even a challenge."
"I'll make you reconsider that," said the White Ranger. "Super Dino Mode!"
Once he summoned it...it turned out to be different from the other 4's Super Dino Mode. The plates came out...but more likely as blades. The small plate on the top of the 4 Ranger's gloves didn't come out...but on Trent's...it did come out...again...as blades. The 4 Rangers looked in awe at the White Ranger's Super Dino Mode & were surprised.
"Whoa...he's got 'Super Dino Mode'," said Connor, still in shock & surprise.
"And I like it," said Trent, looking at himself, impressed, & filled with power.
"You think THAT could stop me," said Archbomber. "Take this." He fired his cannon balls, creating a huge explosion & a lot of smoke. Thinking that he was gone, he said, "Bye-bye, White Ranger."
"I don't think so. We're not done yet," said Trent, as he took to the air & went straight for Archbomber, pinning him to a tree, & struck with the ends from the blades that were from his gloves.
"Wait...I thought we were on the same side," said Archbomber.
"Not anymore," said Trent, as he struck one last time in an X formation, bringing down the Archer...once and for all.
Back at Mesogog's fortress...Kimberly was still in the fortress...being lucky in finding hiding places & hid inside an air vent above Mesogog & Elsa.
"This...is...unforgivable. He will surely pay," said Mesogog, as he activated the Hydro-regenerator.
Back at the city...Archbomber had just been revived from the hydro- regenerator & looked bigger & badder than ever.
"Time to say...bomb voyage, Rangers," said Archbomber.
"Brachio, activate," said Tommy, into his communicator.
Just on cue...the Brachiozord activated & released the 3 zords from it's compartments.
"Let's do it," said Connor.
"All right," said Ethan.
"Right behind you," said Kira, as she followed the other 2.
"Tyranno power," said Connor, as he entered his zord.
"Tricera power," said Ethan, as he followed Connor.
"Ptera power," said Kira, as she entered her zord.
"THUNDERSAURUSMEGAZORD!" they said together.
As soon as the 3 zords combined... Archbomber & the Thundersaurus megazord began to go at each other, while Tommy watch from below.
"That's it, keep it together guys," said Tommy, unaware that he was about to be attacked.
Just as soon as he turned around, Zeltrax made a surprising attack on Tommy, causing him to fall back from the attack.
"I've been waiting for this day...for a long time," said Zeltrax.
"Don't think you've beaten me yet, Zeltrax," said Tommy.
"We'll see about that," said Zeltrax, getting ready to strike.
But just as he was about to attack, Trent jumped in-between them & threw Zeltrax off, causing him to roll off & hit a tree. As he helped Tommy to his feet, Zeltrax began to charge at both of them. Tommy & Trent both got out of the way, & Zeltrax began his attack on Tommy, by using his sword to try & get the upper hand on him. Tommy, quickly took out his staff & blocked Zeltrax's attack just as he was about to get hit by one. But Zeltrax used his shield to block Tommy's attack, & tried to strike back...but got hit on the side when Tommy did a roundhouse kick, causing him to stumble back. Then...Trent came in, gave a glancing blow to Zeltrax's chest with a sidekick, struck with his Drago sword, & finished it off with a roundhouse & reverse roundhouse kick to knock away Zeltrax's sword...& also made him get thrown back hard.
"You'll pay for that...traitor," said Zeltrax, & disappeared through an invisoportal.
Meanwhile...back at the battle between the Thundersaurusmegazord & Archbomber... Archbomber had just sent cannon balls & a shower of arrows at the Rangers, knocking them down like 3 times.
"Desperate times...calls for desperate measures," said Ethan.
"I heard that," said Kira.
"Let's do it," said Connor.
The Thundersaurusmegazord quickly got back up on its feet...& began to make its final attack on the Archer.
"Ptera-rang," said Kira.
The Thundersaurusmegazord took out the Ptera-rang...which looked like a huge boomerang, & launched it at Archbomber, causing him to stumble backwards after being hit twice.
"Ankylozord," called out Ethan.
The Brachiozord opened its top compartment & out came the Ankylozord.
"What's that thing?" wondered Archbomber.
"Ankyolozord...weapon formation," said the Dino Rangers.
The Tricerazord detached itself from the megazord & the Ankylozord took its place. Archbomber was surprised & panicked...&...to REALLY surprise the Rangers...managed to make a copy of himself & multiply.
"Dr. O...we've got a major multiplication problem on our hands," said Connor.
"Hang in there guys, just try to calm down & concentrate," said Tommy.
"Dr. Oliver...heads up," said Trent.
"Whoa... hello," said Tommy, as he dodged Zeltrax's attack just by an inch.
"All right...just calm down & concentrate," said Connor.
"You think you have what it takes to defeat me?" asked Archbomber.
"Kira...fire the Ptera-rang again...maybe it'll reduce the number & help us find the real Archbomber," said Ethan.
"It's worth a shot, Ptera-rang," called out Kira.
Indeed...just as Ethan said, the Ptera-rang came out & did its work of destroying the copies & narrowing it down to 3.
"Not good enough though," said Ethan.
"Don't worry guys...I've got an idea," said Connor.
"This better be good," said Ethan.
"You'll pay for that," said Archbomber...firing his arrows at the Rangers.
Right on cue...the Thundersaurusmegazord raised the shield, causing the arrows to redirect its attack right back at Archbomber & his remaining two copies, causing him to fall back from the blast.
"Thundersaurusmegazord..." said the 3 Dino Rangers.
"Uh-oh...I'm outta here," said Archbomber, trying to run. Unfortunately...he wasn't fast enough.
"Double-drill attack," said the Dino Rangers together.
The drills began to spin to its full power & struck Archbomber in an X formation, finally defeating him.
"I've been marked...aghhhhhh," screamed Archbomber, before exploding.
Kira suddenly turned to Connor & said, "We should go check on Dr. O."
"For once...I agree," said Connor.
As soon as they dismounted from their zords...it appears that Tommy was ok. But...the 3 Rangers were still a bit confused about whose side Trent was on.
"Relax guys...he's on our side," said Tommy.
"Really...well...I'm not fully convinced," said Connor.
"I'll explain later. Right now...let's head back," said Tommy.
Meanwhile...back at Mesogog's island fortress...Mesogog wasn't pleased with Zeltrax's progress. Heck...he wasn't even pleased with his performance.
"You've failed me once again, Zeltrax," said Mesogog.
"Please...master, I tried my best. Please don't take this too personally," pleaded Zeltrax.
"Perhaps...I should end your miserable existence right now," said Mesogog.
"But sir...I would never betray you like the White Ranger did," said Zeltrax.
"That may be true...but...perhaps you can try & redeem yourself...after I've thought of your punishment. Now go...get out of my sight...before I REALLY end your existence, you piece of scrap metal heap, lame excuse of a warrior, & a complete failure," said Mesogog.
Meanwhile...back at the underground base...Jason had just told them that they had almost found a weakness on Mesogog's fortress. And...that Haley had just explained to him about the plan of getting Kimberly out.
"That's great. Although...wouldn't you guys need a distraction?" asked Ethan.
"Yeah...we do," said Haley.
"But... Dr. O...how exactly can you be sure that we can trust Trent?" asked Connor, still not fully convinced.
"Because...he saved my life," said Tommy.
"Well...can't argue with that," said Ethan.
"I agree," said Kira.
Connor...sighing in defeat...knowing he was beaten in this vote...said, "I suppose. Welcome aboard then."
"Hey Connor...wasn't there a rule that says 'All new members are supposed to do some cleaning'?" asked Ethan.
Jason knew quite well that they had just made that up, out of their own heads.
"Yeah," said Connor, giving Trent a bucket filled with cleaning equipment.
"Wh-what? What's all this for?" asked Trent.
"You're supposed to be cleaning the zords," said Kira, chuckling.
"What? But those things are like 50 ft. tall," whined Trent, as he went out.
"Yeah...exactly," said Connor, motioning Trent to head out of the room.
"Uh...guys..." started Haley.
"What?" asked Connor.
"We're actually going to need him in our plan," said Haley.
Trent groaned in annoyance knowing that it wasn't a good thing. "Why me?" he whined.
"Because you used to be with them. We just need you to distract them long enough for us to find Kimberly," said Haley.
"I had a feeling that you'd say that," said Trent.
Just then...the monitors began beeping...indicating that it has found something.
"What? Did it find a weak spot?" asked Tommy.
"Actually...the barriers are weakening & so is the firewall," said Haley. "Must be charging up the extractor."
"Hopefully, we can get to Kimberly, right before they fire up the extractor," said Tommy.
"I'm coming with you guys," said Jason.
"No...it's too dangerous," said Tommy.
"Hey...I was the one responsible for looking after her. And besides...don't you want to see her again?" asked Jason.
"Of course I do," said Tommy.
"Then...you're going to need my help," answered Jason.
"Why do you think we need your help?" asked Connor.
"Because...you're going to need someone to take care of the tyrannodrones, buy you time in order to get Kimberly out, & to also buy time to get out of the island fortress," replied Jason.
"I hate to admit it...but the old leader's got a point," said Ethan.
"I'd have to agree with Ethan here," said Kira.
"All right," said Connor.
"You guys ready?" asked Connor.
"Ready," replied the other 3.
"Let's do it," said Tommy, activating his morpher.
"Dino thunder, power up! Ha!" they said in unison.
"White Ranger power," said Trent, as he transformed into the White Ranger.
"It's morphin time," said Jason, as he activated his morpher. "Tyrannosaurus," he called out, & was back to his Ranger mode.
"I've got a lock on an invisoportal. I'm sending the coordinates to you guys," said Haley, as she entered in the coordinates.
"Great...thanks Haley," said Tommy, as he & Jason rode on his Brachio motor bike, while the 3 other Rangers rode on their Raptor Cycles, & Trent followed on his Drago motor bike.
"Hate to interrupt but...where'd you get this?" asked Jason, over the loud noise the motor bikes & Raptor cycles were making.
"Actually...Trent gave this to me...back when he used to still be evil. He also happened to have had his own motor bike & challenged me to a fight," said Tommy.
"I see," said Jason.
"According to the coordinates that Haley gave us...the invisoportal should be...at the place where we went to get Dr. O," said Connor.
"Of course...that's the same place we went to find the invisoportal," said Ethan.
"Duh...you think," said Kira.
But just as they were about to enter it...they lost control of their vehicles for a short second & Jason was thrown off the Brachio motor bike from the blast. They looked up & saw Zeltrax, Elsa, & a small number of tyrannodrones & triptoids blocking the way.
"You're not going there unless you're in chains," said Zeltrax.
"If you're trying to rescue your girlfriend...you're going to have to get past us first," said Elsa.
"Gladly," said Tommy, firing up the throttle.
"Let's get 'em guys," said Connor.
"Right with ya," said Kira.
"Let's roll these posers," said Ethan.
"Attack!" commanded Zeltrax, & the tyrannodrones & triptoids surged forward at the Rangers.
Jason jumped off of Tommy's motor bike by doing a backflip, & taking out his blaster, fired at 4 tyrannodrones, before taking out his sword & striking down 3 triptoids as well. Connor just fired the lasers from his Raptor cycle as he blew right past a small group of 5 tyrannodrones & 4 triptoids. Ethan had just happened to have done the same thing, except one triptoid managed to get onto his Raptor cycle. He gave it a quickjab in the stomach, causing it to fly back & tumble into a few other triptoids. Kira also fired her lasers before taking to the air, got off of her Raptor cycle & used her blaster to take care of the remaining tyrannodrones & triptoids.
As for Tommy & Trent, they dismounted their motor bikes & Tommy went after Zeltrax, while Trent went after Elsa. Zeltrax managed to have blocked their swords & pushed them back with his shield before striking with his sword. Tommy tried to do a low kick to trip Zeltrax, but Zeltrax was lucky enough to jump out of the way, but not before Tommy did a roundhouse kick & gave a glancing blow to Zeltrax's head.
Meanwhile...Elsa fought Trent with her sword & was not surprised to see him again. She kept striking with her sword, while Trent began to block them. Suddenly...Trent spotted his chance & used his right foot to hold down Elsa's sword, while she struggled to get it off of him.
"Mesogog won't be pleased once he sees you again," said Elsa.
"Well...you can tell him I'm no longer interested in joining his crew," said Trent.
Elsa still tried to get her sword off as she said, "I'll make you eat those words."
"Get real. You guys are still no match for me," said Trent, as he elbowed Elsa in the stomach, causing her to stumble back. Just then...Trent unleashed his arrow attack, causing Elsa to be thrown back & into the river.
"This is far from over, White Ranger," said Elsa & disappeared.
"Give it up Zeltrax," said Tommy.
"You wish, Dr. Oliver," said Zeltrax.
"Well... you asked for it," said Tommy. "Brachio staff...energy ball," he said as he rotated his staff into a fully round energy ball & sent it straight towards Zeltrax, entrapping him & giving him a hard pounding. Then...he unleashed both his Wind & Fire attack, giving Zeltrax a whole new meaning to the phrase, 'Turn up the heat.'
"This isn't over, Dr. Oliver," said Zeltrax & disappeared.
"All right guys. Let's go," said Tommy, mounting back on his motor bike, with Trent doing the same & Jason getting back on Tommy's Brachio motor bike.
The 3 other Rangers did the same & ignited their throttles.
"Ready?" asked Kira.
"Punch it," said Connor, turning on the throttle. Reaching up to speed of 98 mi. an hour...they were able to make it through the invisoportal leading to Mesogog's island fortress right before it closed. Once inside...they parked their vehicles at the entrance, while Trent scouted ahead & tried to find Mesogog's lab, while the other's followed. But just as they were about to reach the lab...Mesogog blocked their way.
"So...we meet again...and the traitor's back," said Mesogog, referring the traitor to Trent.
"Who the heck is this guy?" asked Jason.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am...Mesogog," said the scaly, dino-like creature.
"Like we could forget that?" said Kira.
"Looks like...you could all use...a bit of...discipline," said Mesogog, preparing to use his mind blast on them. But just as he fired it...Zeltrax & Elsa intercepted it.
"Come on...this way," said Trent, running through the hallway to Mesogog's lab.
"Let's go," said Tommy.
"Right behind ya," said Jason.
"Wait for us," said Connor.
"Fools...stop them," commanded Mesogog.
Just as they reached the lab...they could see someone strapped onto the extractor chair. It was Kimberly. But before they could get to her...they had to get pass 3 tyrannodrones who were guarding her. Jason & Trent dealt with them, while Tommy quickly ran to the controls & hit a button to close the door of the lab, stopping Mesogog & the others in their tracks for a short while.
"It's about time you guys showed up," said Kimberly.
"We're just glad you're ok," said Ethan.
"How did you get there?" asked Connor.
"I'll explain later...right now, we've gotta get out of here," said Kimberly.
"I'll take care of that," said Tommy, as he found the button that activated the invisoportal network, causing an invisoportal to appear inside the lab.
Just as they were about to head for the portal...Mesogog & the others were able to get back in the lab.
"So tell me...why didn't you go into your Ninja mode to fight off these tyrannodrones?" asked Connor.
"How could I when they got a hold of me?" retorted Kimberly.
"Oh...right," said Connor, realizing that she had a point.
"Ninja Ranger...or not...you're mine now," said Mesogog, cornering them.
"I hate it when he gets like this," said Tommy, getting ready to fight again.
"Don't worry Dr. O, we'll take it from here," said Connor.
"Hey...don't leave me out of the party," said Trent.
"Of course not," said Kira.
"Attack," commanded Mesogog.
As soon as the order was given...Zeltrax, Elsa, & a few tyrannodrones surged forward. Connor went for Elsa, Tommy went for Zeltrax, Trent went for Mesogog, & Ethan, Kira, Jason, & Kimberly went for the tyrannodrones.
Connor charged forward with his Thunder Max Saber, while Elsa countered with her sword. She kept attacking, while Connor had to keep blocking them. Zeltrax resumed his fight with Tommy, being so worked up with his revenge for him, Trent tried to land some blows on Mesogog, but despite his best effort, he was thrown off & hit the machine of the geno-randomizer. Jason & Kimberly teamed up managed to knock off a few tyrannodrones, while Ethan used his Tricera shield to throw back some of the tyrannodrones or strike with the tip of his shield, while Kira, using her ptera grips...knocked one of the tyrannodrones onto one of the tables & knocking over a few specimens for experiments encased in glass.
Meanwhile...back at the battle between Tommy & Zeltrax, Zeltrax still continued to bring on the attacks & Tommy still had to block them. Suddenly...their weapons locked together & both struggled to get it unlocked.
"You will never be rid of me, Dr. Oliver. I swore to have my revenge on you & it looks like I will get it," said Zeltrax.
"I still have no idea what you're talking about," said Tommy.
"Then let me explain it for you," said Zeltrax, suddenly unlocking their weapons & tried to strike back at Tommy, but Tommy grinded his weapon on Zeltrax's sword, ran forward, & struck hard on Zeltrax, causing him to stumble back.
"Brachio staff, energy ball attack," said Tommy, as he rotated the staff to a full circle & launched his attack, trapping Zeltrax, & then unleashed his fire attack right after Zeltrax got hit from the energy ball, full blast. The force was so strong, that it caused him to be blown back & hit Elsa, as she got her sword knocked off when Connor did a low kick & sent it straight under the hydro-regenerator's console & also got hit by Connor when he gave Elsa a glancing blow to the side by a roundhouse & reverse roundhouse kick, nearly knocking the wind out of her.
As soon as Ethan, Kira, Jason, & Kimberly took care of the tyrannodrones & Connor took care of Elsa... Tommy told them to enter the portal & wait for them. They did so, just as he was about to help Trent go at Mesogog. But even though they teamed up...despite their best effort...they both got knocked back & hit the geno-randomizer hard.
"Your efforts are futile & pathetic," said Mesogog.
"We'll see about that," said Trent, as he tried to attack again with his Drago sword.
"Trent...wait," said Tommy, trying to stop him.
But Mesogog blocked the blow & struck Trent, causing him to be thrown back again. But...even though he was down for a while, he was able to launch his arrow attack, giving them time to escape to the invisoportal. As soon as the smoke cleared, Mesogog could see that they had already escaped.
"Fools......you let them get away," said Mesogog. "Find them."
"Yes master," said Elsa & Zeltrax, as they left the lab & went to pursue them.
As soon as Tommy & Trent got out of the lab, Connor, Ethan, & Kira were already on their Raptor Cycles. Jason was waiting on Trent's Drago motor bike, & Kimberly was waiting on Tommy's Brachio motor bike.
"You guys ok?" asked Connor.
"We'll be fine. Go, we're right behind you," said Tommy.
"All right," said Connor, as he, Ethan, & Kira left through the invisoportal.
Just as Tommy & Trent mounted their motor bikes, Zeltrax & Elsa tried to attack from behind right before they reached the portal. But...to no avail...they were able to reach the portal just as the attacks were unleashed. They tried to follow...but the invisoportal disappeared. And Mesogog was right behind Elsa & Zeltrax, watching their performance. Obviously...he wasn't too pleased with them & unleashed his mind blast on them as their punishment... the duration...much longer than usual.
As soon as Connor & the others got out of the invisoportal, they turned & waited for Tommy & Trent. Just as they thought they weren't able to get out...they came flying through the invisoportal & joined up with them.
"Man...I thought we lost you there," said Connor.
"Let's just call it luck for now," said Trent.
"I heard that," said Kira.
"So...how was she able to get out of the prison cell?" wondered Ethan.
"Well...actually...I managed to use my sort of seductive look on one of the guards & managed to knock it out & take the keys in order to free myself," explained Kimberly.
"Wow...pretty clever," said Connor.
"Clever......that was brilliant," said Ethan.
"Thanks guys," said Kimberly.
"Why don't we head back to Haley's Cyberspace for some r/r," suggested Tommy.
"Sounds good to me," said Kira.
"Same here," said Ethan.
"Ditto on that," said Connor.
As soon as they arrived at Haley's Cyberspace...they were surprised to see how many teenagers were around. And...Trent was back on the job again...serving up drinks & stuff. Connor suddenly noticed the huge grin on Haley's face knowing that she was glad to have Trent back working again at her place.
"Looks like someone's happy today," said Connor.
"Just glad to have Trent back again," said Haley.
"Not to mention that he's back to his old self again," said Kira.
"I'm just glad to be back to normal again," said Trent.
"Hey...you're one of us now," said Kira.
"Yeah...& no more secrets," said Connor.
"Right............no more secrets," he said softly, suddenly remembering what he promised his dad, Anton Mercer. To not tell the others about his dark secret.
"Hello...waiter...where's my latte," said a female voice.
"Who's that?" asked Kimberly, pointing to the girl at the laptops.
"Oh...that's Cassidy. She tends to want to get attention these days just for trying to be a news reporter. Thinks she owns everything," said Kira.
"Sounds like you get annoyed with her easily," said Jason.
"Yeah...we do," said Ethan.
"The one in front of her is Devin, her cameraman," said Connor.
"She tends to be bossy around him a lot," said Kira.
"I can see that," said Kimberly.
"Here's your latte," said Trent, handing Cassidy her latte.
"It's about time," said Cassidy, getting frustrated.
"You know who they remind me of?" asked Kimberly.
"Who?" wondered Connor.
"Bulk & Skull," said Jason.
"Who are they?" asked Ethan.
"Bulk & Skull were...sort of like...the bullies at our school," said Tommy.
"Really?" asked Ethan.
"Yeah, they were," said Jason.
"Course...they tend to make us laugh every time they mess up," said Kimberly.
"I see," said Connor.
"Hey...Kira...can I talk to you for a minute," asked Jason.
"Who...me?" asked Kira.
Jason nodded.
"Can you guys excuse me for a minute?" asked Kira.
"Sure," said Ethan.
As Jason & Kira went to a certain spot & sat on the red couch, she asked, "So...what's up?"
"Has Tommy ever shown you a picture of us while sorting out his work?" asked Jason.
"Yeah...when you guys were Power Rangers," said Kira.
"Did you seem to notice how close they were to each other during the battle?" asked Jason.
"Now that you've mentioned it......it seems like they're completely attached to each other," said Kira.
"That's because they're into each other," said Jason.
"Huh?" wondered Kira.
"They're in love with each other," said Jason.
"Why didn't he tell me?" wondered Kira.
"I'm sure he had his reasons," said Jason. "They always stuck together, during every battle, they've managed to stay together even through the most hardest of situations. Whenever Tommy was in trouble, Kimberly always put him before her, & Tommy did the same."
"Talk about major commitment to each other," said Kira, suddenly starting to understand what Jason was telling her.
"They were the ones who invented Ranger love anyway," said Jason, slightly chuckling.
"I can see your point," said Kira, also making a slight giggle.
"Their bond was tight, their commitment to each other...inseparable...well...at least I thought it was," said Jason.
"Wait...she left & this one girl named Katherine took her place as the Pink Ranger...right?" guessed Kira.
"Right. Anyway...once Tommy received the letter from Kimberly, he was devastated & thought she had totally forgotten about him," said Jason.
"Oh...poor Dr. O," said Kira, suddenly feeling bad for him. "Speaking of which...we sort of heard them fighting downstairs."
"Yeah. I heard it too, considering how loud they yelled," said Jason.
"I heard that," said Tommy & Kimberly.
"Speaking of which...I'm trying to get them together, despite the fact that they might continue fighting," said Jason. "Think you & your friends can help me out?"
"Sure...I mean...of course. Just gotta hope they don't know about it," said Kira.
"Great. Here's the plan..." said Jason, as he began to quietly explain it to Kira in detail.
Done! That one took a while. Sorry that I couldn't tell you guys about the plan. And...if you've noticed anything familiar from PRIS, I tried my best to recall what happened on that episode & put it in here. Second... you might recognize some lines from certain PRDT episodes. And third...I also tried my best to do the explaining on Jason's powers & explaining the problem about Serpetera being revived from PRWF. Like I said...it was NEVER mentioned in any episode...on how Jason could've gotten his powers back, & it was my idea anyway. My last chapter is going to be when Jason's plan is being put into action. Oh...and just on another note here...I plan to try & add a song to this last chapter. Not going to be easy to find though. So...it'll take a while before I find it. Final chapter: "The Reunion: Jason's Plan Is Set Into Action."
R/R, please.
