A/N: So, here's the much needed twist in the story, and I figured it will pose a lot of questions. But trust me, I'll try to answer it in the following chapters. Hope you like it anyways, and if you don't get it right away, this will also effect Tommy since he is currently in the black suit. But, like I said, you gotta wait until the next few chapters to get more answers. May the Powers Always Protect You.

The black ninja ranger leapt from building to building in the warehouse district of the city. Though, he had only been in the area for a few days, he knew the hot spots for monster attacks. He recalled his trips down to see the doctor upon request. He learned quickly, observed a lot of things in the shadows that appeared to act as a second covering for him. Plus, it held a shield for the hurt. Though he didn't want to admit it, he was feeling a little lonely around this whole ranger reunion thing. The whole crew had found their significant other in another ranger, and he hadn't really been into the whole dating thing at all. Not that he wanted a girl to call his own, he just couldn't seem to find one that was fit to understand him.
But than again, as a free agent of love, he had too much free time on his hands. And if one had to pinpoint the real ninja of the team, it was him. He'd visit family in Korea or in the California area and go to the medical clinic when he was needed. Not that he wasn't a bad doctor, most of his remedies came from ancient healing practices he learned in Asia where he got his degree. That's what Rocky relied on most when he wasn't feeling good, and so did Tommy. That's where his practice was appreciated, besides those students at the martial arts school who found the art unique.
And on Tommy's last visit a few weeks ago, he had told Adam much of the news regarding the Dino Rangers. And if he didn't know better, he seemed to know what the good ol' doctor was up to the best, besides the recent discovery of finding out his ninja powers could play a key role in the protection of Earth. So, now he made it an effort to help where needed be.
He dropped into an alley, continuing on foot. But to his dismay, an invisi- portal opened up and a swarm of Tyrannondrones surrounded him. Zeltrax stood in front of him, never taking his eyes off the black ninja.
"Lemme guess, you're Zeltrax." Adam set his eyes on the cyborg, pulling into a defensive stance.
"Enough games, black ranger." Zeltrax growled. "We will finish this now."
"Ya know, you really need an anger management course, Zeltrax." Adam matched the cyborg's threat. Tommy had told him of the personal grudge the cyborg had on the black dino ranger, or was it against all in the black suit? "If you're looking for Tommy, you got the wrong guy. I'm Adam."
Zeltrax barked out an order. The Tyrannodrones attacked.
Minutes passed.
The victor was the black ninja.
Adam turned around slow, waiting on his aggressors but none of them got up. They laid there in pain. He slowly turned back to Zeltrax, who seemed slightly intimidated to find that the Tyrannodrones had lost to him. Adam dropped to a causal stance, annoyed. "That wasn't even a challenge."
Zeltrax huffed. "So, you are one of those who possesses the powers spoken about by Mesogog."
"So, I guess he has heard about me?"
"You would be a great asset to the team. Join me or be destroyed."
Adam shook his head, walking away. "Sorry, Zeltrax. Not my fight."
Zeltrax growled again, launching an electrical bolt from his sword at the back of the black ninja.
Adam saw the danger, and jumped over the bolt and landed on the ground with ease. He glared at Zeltrax. "Was that really necessary?"
Zeltrax charged at the black ninja ranger, and another fight broke out. But Adam seemed to block each attack with little or no effort as his aggressor tried to take him down. Unfortunately, his fighting style was based on anger more than on finding peace within like Adam knew so well. And Adam kicked him back, waiting.
Zeltrax huffed. "You have the powers, but you're not a power ranger."
"Now, who said you had to be a power ranger to possess the powers?" Adam sighed disappointed, somewhat hurt by the cyborg's comment. "But I think you need to take another look at those history books, Zeltrax. I used to be one."
Then an invisi-portal opened up, and a dino-faced man emerged from it, approaching the black ninja. Mesogog. Adam took a step back, slightly frightened at the recent appearance of their primary enemy. Zeltrax made his way to his master's side.
"My lord, I present to you, the black ninja ranger." Zeltrax greeted.
"And you must be Mesogog. I've heard so much about you." Adam nodded a bow. "So, you've heard about me." Mesogog hissed, taking a step forward.
Adam looked around him, seeing the Tyrannodrones take their place to surround him. If he wanted to flee, it had to be now. But he didn't.
"From a fellow black suited man." Adam replied.
"But of course," Mesogog nodded, making his way to the black ninja with no hesitation. He could see the fright in his newly acquainted ranger. "Dr. Oliver was smart to inform his fellow rangers of the past about me. I believe you are the one who possesses the power of the sacred frog, am I right?"
Adam nodded slowly taking another step back, as Mesogog's cold breath ran against his face. "So, you've been doing your ranger research, too?"
"It's not that hard to pry information from a legendary ranger, now is it?" Mesogog hissed.
Adam remembered how Tommy described the day he got his ranger powers. He was captured by Mesogog in hopes to free the gem from its encasing, for use by the dino-faced man. But instead, the gem found its home in Tommy to become the newest member of the dino ranger team. "So, what do you want with me?"
"Join me, my friend." Mesogog nodded.
"Sorry, I'm not persuaded by your offer."
Mesogog sneered, circling around the ninja. "Oh, but you should." He motioned for a Tyrannodrone to step forward, a small wooden box in his hand. Mesogog touched the box, tenderly before looking the black ninja in the eyes again. "In this box, is the one power source that could bring back your ranger powers. I will allow you to take it. All I ask in return is that you help me destroy those dino rangers."
"Forget it, Mesogog." Adam scoffed knowing it had to be a trap. He turned away, but Mesogog grabbed him.
The Tyrannodrone opened up the box and set something into Mesogog's hand.
"In my hand, is the key to your future, my black ninja friend." He opened up his hand slow, to reveal a coin encrusted with a frog on it.
Adam blinked slowly, as his hand began to settle over it. The energy called to him. He could see the radiant black light escape it. But with that, felt the strange encoding in it. The darkness filled his mind with one goal, destroy the rangers. "No. It can't be."
"Take it, my friend." Mesogog offered, pushing it into the black ninja's hand.
Adam panicked, feeling the surge of energy began to awaken inside him. He threw the coin to the ground. "No. It has to be a trap."
"Me? Set a trap for you? Obviously you must be mistaken, my black ninja friend."
Adam shook his head, trying to relay the sudden surge of wanting to destroy the rangers. "No. Forget it, Mesogog."
"But you can become a power ranger again. Don't you want that?"
"To destroy my friends in the process?" He shook his head. "I don't need some corrupted power coin to give me the power to be a ranger."
Mesogog picked up the coin, shoving it into the black ninja's chest. "But you can feel the change in you now that you have awakened its power. And now, you're not so sure whether you like it or not. Don't you? I now hold a part of you in my hand, my friend. Beware."
Adam turned away, hoping it wasn't true. He could feel a little loss of energy. "I don't share your same dreams, Mesogog. I won't destroy my friends."
Mesogog bowed, allowing the ranger to carry on about his business. Adam knew he had a common enemy with Mesogog as the other dino rangers. He left the confrontation, the Tyrannodrones never taking their eyes off him as he disappeared into the shadows.
Zeltrax walked up beside his master, confused. "Should I go after him, my lord?"
Mesogog waved his offer away. He looked down at the power coin in his hand, glowing with a black light. "No. Let him go. He'll be back."
The two turned away as an invisi-portal engulfed them and their dino army into its stormy entrance.
To be continued..........
A/N: Uh-oh! What does Mesogog have in store for Adam? And how will this effect the one walking around in the black ranger suit now? And what else was hidden in that box? Could the hold of trying to fight the evil set by Mesogog be too much for those who come in contact with it? Stay tuned.
Summary: Adam goes into the shadows to assist Tommy. But he runs into a spot of trouble when Zeltrax and Mesogog find interest in the powers he possesses and what help he could be to their side. Will he betray his friends to honor the needs of an evil foe?
