You Can Have The Best Of Me

Chapter 7: Patient is a Virtue: Conner doesn't have any

Conner used his Dino Speed and ran as fast as he could out of the park towards the car. He moved his brace to his mouth and spoke into it, hoping that Ethan, Tommy or anyone would hear him.

"Dr O! Ethan!? Some one come in!" He yelled as he ran towards the car and jumped in.

He waited a few minutes for a response but there was no reply. He had very little patients to try again and turned the engine of the car on and drove out of the parking lot as fast as he could. He shifted gears and went flying down the streets. getting to the dino base as fast as he could. He turned down Dr O's drive way and hoped out of the car and into the house where he opened the entrance to the underground base below him.


I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy...happy


"Dr O! Dr O!" His voice echoed in the distant

Tommy was sitting on the computer with Ethan looking over his shoulder at the screen. When they heard Conner's voice they both quickly turned around to see him come flying down the stairs. Conner missed a step and went tumbling down the rest of the steps and hitting the ground hard. Ethan and Tommy both ran over to help him up.

"You do know, your suppose to walk down the stairs, no fall down right?" Ethan joked as he helped his team mate up.

Conner shook his head, "There's no time for jokes, why didn't you guys answer my call?"

Tommy looked at his morpher then back at Conner, giving him a confused but calm look on his face.

"Must be interference. We've been getting some strange activities lately." He explained.

"Kira's been captured!" Conner exclaimed.

Ethan's eyes widen, "What? What happened!?"

He sighed, trying to find the right words, "I don't know. Elsa came out of no where. We have to head to the base and save her! Again!"

Tommy nodded his head in dismay, "Conner, we can't just jump into the hole without looking first."
I wish you were here
"What? We do all the time! Like when we saved you!" He protested.

"But if I was here, I wouldn't have let you." He shot back, "Let's just take this one at a time. We will recuse her." He reassured him.

-----------------------------------

Meanwhile Elsa dragged the knocked out yellow ranger into the base and in the thrown room where Mesogog was sitting. The prehistoric villain breathed heavily as his large eyes shifted towards Elsa and her captured.

"Excellent work Elsa. With the White and Yellow Dino Gem in my possession, I will be unstoppable." He said sinisterly.

Elsa grinned, dropping her captive on the floor, "Of course Master."

"Is the white brace near completion?" He asked her.

She shook her head, "Not yet. I haven't gotten a chance." She replied.

Mesogog's voice grew angry, "Then I suggest you get the chance, before you suffer a punishment far worst then what the rangers have given you."

Elsa bowed and walked away, exchanging looks with Zeltrax as he entered the room. Zeltrax stopped and bowed to Mesogog.

"Sir, why must we depend on a ranger to do our work? Send me in, I will finish Tommy and those pest once and for all." He begged

Mesogog stood up from his chair, "Your past failure speaks more then you think Zeltrax. I suggest you stay in line and follow orders. Take this girl and bring her to the chambers. There, we can test our new machine on her." He spoke as he left the room.

Zeltrax looked down and clenched his fist before picking up the girl and dragging her away.

-----------------------------------

Conner paced back and forth inside the base as Tommy was working on the computer. Time felt so slow to him and he was worried about what was going to happen to Kira. It was a strange feeling to worry as much as he was now, but the last thing he wanted to do right now was to sort out and figure out all his feelings. He would have plenty of time during Dr O's boring lectures.

"Dr O, what are we waiting for!?" He complained.

Ethan came out with a whole bunch of boxes and wires and began to set something up near the computer. Tommy glanced over at the impatient Conner.

"We have to wait till Mesogog makes his first move, we can't risk falling into a trap. In till then, sensors are picking up readings of a dino egg, but we can't seam to fix a location. That's what were trying to figure out." He replied.


lay my head into the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy...happy


Conner groaned and glared at the both of them. He turned around and walked off further into the dino base and hit the button on the walls, revealing the raptor cycles. He glanced over to see Tommy and Ethan fixed on the screen.

"Dino Thunder Power up! Ha!" Conner screamed.

Ethan and Tommy both turned to see him morph into his red suite. Tommy quickly bolted up from his chair.

"Conner! Don't!" He yelled out.


I wish you were here


Ethan slowly backed away into the computer, not moving his eyes off of Conner. He fumbled with his hands and pressed a few buttons on the computer as he watched. Conner ignored Dr O and jumped on the raptor cycles, a large green portal opened up. Dr O quickly looked back at the console and Ethan, glaring at him before dashing towards the red ranger. Conner stepped on the gas and went flying through the portal.

Tommy turned around, "Why did you do that Ethan? You set the coordinates to Mesogog's island didn't you?"

Ethan nodded, "Conner has to do what he has to do. Sorry Dr O, there was no stopping him."

Tommy sighed and shook his head, "He is way over his head on this one. Call Hayley quickly."

Ethan nodded.

-----------------------------------

Conner came flying out of the portal and landed on the ground. He looked around and noticed he was in the forest. He turned his body around and saw Mesogog's base behind him. He smiled underneath his helmet and got off his bike, sneaking towards the base. He tiptoed slowly, hoping to not draw attention as he entered the base. The large hall way was quiet and empty. To quiet. Conner walked down, taking a peak through each room. He walked a bit more when he spotted Kira laying in a chair. Her eyes closed, and body motionless. Conner demoprhed and looked around one more time before bolting inside the room.
The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care but my hands are busy in the air

"Kira!" He whispered as he ran towards the chair. He shook her lightly, "Kira.." He spoke again.

Suddenly Kira's hand came flying up, grabbing Conner by the throat. Kira's eyes snapped open and she sat up, choking him harder with both her hands this time.

"K-ira.." He struggled to breathe.
