Thursday finally rolled around. Tobias had gotten off at 3pm from work and was tired from the stress he had to deal with. Zach was tired from not being able to sleep after thinking of how his friend almost got killed last night. Xander was running late to Brett's place. Everyone was inside his apartment which was pretty much trashed with a bunch of stuff that dealt with either his school work for trying to get a business degree at the Bowling Green State University that laid everywhere. There was a knock on Brett's door as he went to open it and welcomed Xander in.
"Hey sorry I'm late guys. I just got out of school late because everyone was mourning for Emily in an afterschool conference." Xander said with a hurt expression.
Xander was wearing a yellow T-shirt with beige cargo shorts. Zach was wearing his normal black pants with a black tank top and his blue swim wear looking goggles. Tobias was wearing a white shirt with a red plaid overshirt and black cargos. Brett had a more causal black t-shirt and fade blue pants on. He also kept his hair combed down the back while the sides and front were all over the place.
"It's okay Xander. Now let's get on with what I wanted to show you." Brett said. He led everyone to the entrance in to his bedroom. He had a hammer in hand. Brett's apartment was pretty small but this entire row of apartments on the bottom layer were bought out by the Barton Family back in the 80's when the apartment complex was made.
"Umm what's the hammer for?" Tobias asked.
"Well if my research is true, we are going to find something that lies underneath this floor." Brett said. He then began to pummel at the floor with only little cracks forming. Brett raised his hand back but Tobias grabbed the hammer and used his super speed to bust the floor apart and in just seconds he destroyed a good portion of the floor. Beneath the floor was some boards that were laid down but had a handle on them. Tobias grabbed the handle as he pulled it open that showed stairs leading further down into the ground.
Brett pulled out small flashlights from his pockets as he gave them to Tobias, Zach, and Xander. They all turned them on as they walked down the creaking stairs. Brett was leading them as they got to the bottom. Walking around this place they could tell it was extremely spacious. With the lights going everywhere Brett was getting a reading on how the room is designed. He then saw a switchbox and made his way towards it. Once he got up to it, he opened the box and blew on it. He then turned on switch as all the lights on the walls quickly turned on. Everyone then looked around as the room became a lot clearer.
The giant room was the width of the entire apartment row. On one side there was a giant supercomputer with about ten monitors and was very high tech. There was a giant table that had books stacked and papers all over it. The entire place was painted into three sections. One section was red which is where the tech stuff was located. The blue which is where a bunch of research and studies were located. The yellow one which was the entrance as well as a big hangout space that had furniture and an old-fashioned TV system just sitting there. There was a spot on the left side of the red section where it was a kitchen with canned food and non-spoiled supplies were scattered around. The entire place didn't have any cobwebs and looked like it was kept clean on a daily basis. The entire thing was all connected without any doorways that would keep you out from each section. In each colored section lied a photo in a frame of the people who wore a mask made from a bandanna that was the color of the wall they were on.
"What kind of place is this?" Zach said surprised.
He walked up to a display case that had dinosaur figures on it and in the display was a picture of Mesogog that was blurry. He had some things coming out of his body that was whipping at people in a hallway.
Xander walked up to the furniture in the yellow room as he laid on this expensive looking couch. "Holy crap this is comfy!" He said as he snuggled up on it. Brett and Tobias walked into the red section where they were looking at all of the tech as well as the supercomputer that taking up a lot of space in the section. Tobias ran his hand around the hardware as he stumbled upon a lever. He grabbed it as he pushed it down to have all three walls began to open up. Inside were motorbikes that were silver dinosaur like bikes. They had yellow eyes on them and a very sleek slanted design. Tobias, Zach, and Xander walked up to the bikes amazed at what they were seeing.
"Holy shit! Are these motorcycles?!" Xander said pumped.
"Um guys do you each have a lever on your wall because I certainly do." Zach said. He had walked up to a lever next to his bike and opened it. Once he did, he saw the back of the room create a green and black portal that was open for about a minute and then vanished as the lever put itself back to how it was before being pulled. Tobias and Xander pulled on their levers as they got the same effect. Brett was completely amazed at how this worked.
"I would love to know how my ancestor made these." Brett said.
Tobias walked back to him, "Wait. Your ancestor?"
"Yes. The people on the walls are the ones who sealed Mesogog away with the same stones you three hold on your wrists." Brett said. The three walked out of the room with the weird motorbikes as the doors began to close and then looked at their bracelets. They then looked at the walls that corresponded with their Dinogems. Brett walked up to the red wall as he pointed at it. "This is my ancestor; I would try to figure out how the family tree works but I'm not going to. He was known as the Red Commander and the leader of the Special Forces that did things for Hitler if needed. They were the best of the best in Hitler's squad, willing to give up their lives at a moment's notice for the victory of the war. Benjamin Barton was my ancestor's original name, after Mesogog he abandoned his life knowing the errors of his ways and took up a new last name to help make the world a better place if Mesogog would show up. That name became Andrew Pappert. The creator of my bloodline. Based on my research, everything you see here is his handiwork. From the supercomputer to the motorbikes as well as that portal you saw. He doesn't keep any records of how he's done what he's done, he took it all with him to the grave. The only thing we are to know about is Mesogog as well as things to stop him. He left behind papers which have been scattered all around here so while you guys are training and doing your lives, I'm going to figure out everything I need to know about how to defeat Mesogog." Brett said.
"So, are we going to be known as Special Forces?" Xander asked curious to what Brett will say.
"I don't think so. I hate the name." Brett said.
"Well we are pretty much superheroes. We have to have some kind of name." Tobias said.
"I'm voting for Masked Hero." Zach said confidently.
"That sounds cool." Tobias said.
"I have a better idea. We have power that flows through us, right? We are probably going to be saving people's lives like Sheriff's, Police, and Rangers? So why not call ourselves Power Rangers?" Xander said.
"I think that sounds like a great idea. We can also be called the Dinothunder Rangers." Tobias stated.
"That sounds a bit too much." Zach said.
"I think Power Rangers will be just fine." Brett said. Brett turned away from the guys as he walked over to the computer and turned it on. The monitor's connected to the computer turned on and when they did there was images of places in different locations across Bowling Green. Everyone was surprised as the many screens shown familiar places and some shown stuff on the outskirts of town where there was mostly rural landscapes.
"Whoever this guy was he installed cameras across our city." Tobias said as he and the other two were looking at each camera.
"My ancestor didn't just put cameras around. Notice how the cameras have everything in green? That's because he has a specific heat reader on these. But that doesn't make any sense since the creatures can't become human so we would know right off the bat." Brett said as started messing with the controls. He started muttering to himself as he messed around with the computer trying to get a feel of the high-tech equipment. Tobias and Xander walked over to the yellow section of the room where they were looking at the TV.
"You know I could get us a nice TV set with money from my job and a PS3 and Xbox 360 and we could turn this joint into an entertainment place. If we are going to fight and protect civilization we might as well have a moment where we can have fun." Tobias said. Xander loved that idea.
"I have a game system I don't really use anymore since I've been focused on school and Emi— "Xander then stopped as he clenched his fist.
Tobias put his hand on Xander's shoulder, "I heard from Zach. I'm sorry man." Tobias said comforting Xander.
"Y-Yeah it's just been…a bit hard moving on. At least she's still with me wherever I go." Xander said.
"Wait what?" Tobias said.
Before Xander had a chance to respond there was a siren blaring, "Hey you two! I think you need to see this!" Brett commanded. Tobias and Xander ran back over as the monitor's all focused on one spot: Wintergarden Park. "So, Zach told me about an ice monster known as Fridgia. I thought you guys destroyed it?" Brett said.
"I killed that thing. Why do you ask?" Xander said.
"Well you see those pieces of ice that were left behind? Well we just got a weird rain cloud that focused on that area started pouring and then vanished. But the cameras picked up something showing that the ice was reacting to the raindrops. This computer also picked something up about the raindrops. They are mixture of some weird DNA, blood, and other mixtures of things." Brett said. Suddenly the computer started to figure out what the rain was made of and when it was done the entire screen showed a face that was similar to Mesogog's.
"Why is Mesogog's face on the screen?" Tobias wondered.
"That rain isn't normal rain. It's Mesogog's blood. I think he's using his blood to make that monster become reborn. You three need to go to the Park and destroy all of the ice scattered before Fridgia comes back." Brett said. "From here on out you guys are a team and will need to work together in order to stop Mesogog. Tobias you're going to be leader." Brett said as he pointed at him. Tobias was not sure about that.
"Me? I'm not sure if I can, I don't know how to be a leader." He said trying to decline.
"The leader of the Special Forces wore red, your power based on what you told me after we left the museum was red colored. You also mentioned how you saw a T-Rex in your stone, these Dinogems have apparently been living inside your guy's stones and have chosen you to wield them. The T-Rex was also known as King of the Dinosaurs and was fierce that the other dinosaurs would run away. You have to lead this team." Brett said.
"Y-yeah Tobias uh-you can do it." Zach said stuttering again.
"I've got no issues with this. Plus aren't you older than me and Zach?" Xander said.
"Yea I'm like about to be 24 but I don't know what that really has to do with anything." Tobias said feeling unsure.
There was a buzzing sound as the colored walls began to open up and the swirling portal quickly appeared. Brett looked at the computer, "It would seem that these cameras create these portals to take you to or close to your destination. Tobias at least for now take the leadership role, when you get done if you don't like it, we'll figure it out then." Brett said to him.
Tobias gave it a quick thought and then nodded, "Okay I will give it a shot." He said.
Tobias then stood facing his portal in his section as Zach and Xander did the same. "Ready to go when you are leader." Xander said to him.
Tobias took a deep breath in and then exhaled, "Okay let's do this." Tobias moved his fingers all around as he clenched them in his fist.
"Ready?" He said as he placed his right arm over his chest.
Zach and Xander did the same, "Ready." They said confidently.
The bracelets transformed into their respective appearance as they each did their own transformation pose. Tobias went first.
"Dinothunder! Power Up!"
Tobias stretched his right hand out and put his left hand out in front of him. He then took his left hand and brought it back as he pushed a button on the jawline of the T-Rex. He backflipped in the air as he came down with his body transformed. He had a red helmet appear over his face as he was ready to go. Next up was Zach.
"Dinothunder! Power Up!"
Zach raised his right arm up over his face as he stretched out his left hand and then brought back to press the button on his device. He then backflipped in the air as his blue form appeared as well as the helmet. Finally, it was Xander's turn.
"Dinothunder! Power Up!"
Xander placed his arms over each other in the shape of an X with his right arm on top. He then took his left hand and opened the jaws of his device as he placed his hands underneath it. He then while keeping his fingers on his right arm, moved his arm up in a straight line like Zach's as he ran his fingers up and pushed the button on his device. He then backflipped into the air and upon landing had his yellow form and helmet appear.
Before the three walked into the portals Brett stopped them, "Remember you guys are a well-oiled machine, you need to work together no matter what happens you must stick together. When you guys come back, I'll explain as much as I can to you and I will be having you guys be trained to be ready to face the threats that are going to come in the future." Brett said. The three then ran into the portals and the moment their bodies hit the portals they appeared in the park together.
"Oh God I think I'm going to throw up." Xander said as his body felt funny.
"I think the world is spinning a bit." Zach said.
"I got a headache." Tobias said.
The feelings they had quickly faded away as Xander looked at Tobias, "You just have a headache?" He said confused.
"Well it seems that portal causes a lot of stress on the body. Since my job is overbearingly stressful maybe I'm just used to it." He said unsure if that was the case.
"That's bullcrap…But I believe it." Zach said.
Suddenly the ice they were sent to destroy had become about the size of a building and rapidly growing. The legs of Fridgia were already forming and in just seconds her waistline. "Rangers you have to try and destroy that thing before it becomes a full Fridgia." Brett said over their devices.
Tobias was most startled by this. "Wait how are you communicating through our transformation devices?!" Tobias asked speaking into his.
"Apparently your Morphers, as we are going to call them from now on. Have a link to this computer. So, I can communicate with you if need be." Brett said.
"I don't know how any of our weapons are going to be able to take down a building size monster." Tobias said back. Then all three of the morphers began to glow a huge bright light of their respective colors. The lights then emerged from their morphers and in a giant light the entire landscape as far as the eyes can see became a faint light purple. Everything around them became a covered in fog and Fridgia was almost fully reborn. All that was missing was her head.
"Where the hell are we? What happened to our home?" Xander said as everyone was turning around trying to figure out what happened.
"Hey Brett do you know what's going on?" Tobias said into his morpher. He didn't get a response back. Tobias kept calling his name but they weren't able to reach him. Fridgia then was fully reborn as she began moving around. The Rangers began to run away from her trying to get out of her path before they got squashed. The three finally were able to get out as they looked up at her causing damage to the environment. Cracks were forming all over the environment.
"Our home…" Zach said as the environment was getting cracks all over the place.
"How do we stop something so massively huge?" Xander said.
Tobias knew he needed to think of something being the leader but he was so confused and unsure he couldn't come up with anything. The other two then looked at him for advice. "What do I tell them? We weren't expecting something like this." Tobias thought as his mind was racing.
Suddenly a roar that sounded like a T-Rex echoed throughout the town and something began approaching the Rangers fast and very loud.
Fridgia was surprised as she saw a Red T-Rex with green eyes and a drill like tail dashing towards it. "What the hell are you supposed to be?!" She said as the Rangers faced her to see the T-Rex headbutt her in the stomach. She grabbed the T-Rex as she tried to stop it from pushing her back. Another roar came from her left as a Blue Triceratops rammed her in the side causing her to fall onto the ground.
Fridgia casted a bunch of ice that froze the Triceratops in its tracks as the tail on the T-Rex began to spin cutting through it. Fridgia got in close as she grabbed the back of the T-Rex and had it encased in a giant iceberg. The Triceratops rammed into Fridgia's side pushing her back from the frozen mechanical dinosaur. A screech was made as a yellow Pterodactyl came flying down from the sky slashing at the ice in quick succession cutting off chunks of the ice around the T-Rex's tail. This caused the red dinosaur to spin its tail drilling into various parts of its frozen body allowing it to break free from the trap it got itself in.
"Holy crap! They are working together to take down Fridgia!" Tobias said. The Rangers heard a roar come from their Morphers as they could understand what the giant dinosaurs were saying.
"They call themselves Zords?" Xander asked.
"I'm a little loss for words right now." Zach said.
"They may be good at fighting Fridgia but she's standing toe-to-toe with them. We need to find a way to gain a more powerful advantage." Tobias said. The eyes on his morpher began to flash green as the roar came from the T-Rex Zord. The red dinosaur stood in front of the Rangers.
"T-Rex says we can combine the Zords together so we can fight with them. What do you say guys?" Tobias asked his teammates. Everyone nodded in agreement as they lifted their hands with their morphers up in the air.
All three of them were sent flying into the air towards their respective Zords as they entered through their foreheads. Once inside they had a colored orb float in front of them with a place to put their hands. The three were amazed at what they had seen but acted quickly as they placed their hands down on the orb. The circle in the middle of the orb began to generate power.
"Combine powers!" The three said triumphantly.
The T-Rex ran towards its friends as its upper body turned to the side with the tail being it's left arm and its head being a chest plate. The Triceratops pushed back Fridgia on her back once more as it ran towards the misshapen T-Rex and connected to the right shoulder forming a right hand. A head began to appear where the T-Rex's head once was as the Ptera Zord flew in. The two combined Zords jumped up into the air as the head to mid body of the Ptera Zord became detached. They attached around the mouth of the T-Rex as the rest of it acted like a helmet around the Zord's head. The Zords had fully combined with each other as they landed onto the ground shaking the environment.
"Holy shit! What the hell just happened? We are all together in this one giant Zord!" Zach said shocked to hell.
The three looked down at their orbs as the name "Thundersaurus Megazord" Was written in cursive around the orb.
Fridgia had gotten back up as she shot a stream of ice towards them. "Charge and drill through it!" Tobias said as the Megazord began walking towards the beam of ice with its drill arm in front of it. Once they got close Zach commanded the punch up Fridgia's jaw send her up into the air.
"Let's go for a roundhouse kick! Dinosaur style!" Tobias said as he commanded the Megazord to spin around and kicked Fridgia in the knee causing her to fall onto the ground and rolled until she stopped. The weird reality was starting to crack and they almost connected with each other.
"Guy's why is this world cracking instead of the environment becoming destroyed?!" Xander said wondering what was going on.
"I have a feeling we don't want to find out." Zach said.
"No matter what we need to protect our home!" Tobias said. Suddenly words appeared in the middle of the orbs.
"Dino Drill?" Xander said.
"What does that mean?" Zach said.
"I don't care. We're going for it!"
"Dino Drill! Engage!"
Tobias said as he placed his hands on the orb. The Megazord jumped up into the air and lunged forward towards Fridgia. Fridgia was on her knees as she lifted both of her hands up and shot out streams of ice towards the Rangers.
The Red Drill on the Megazord began to have this red mist similar to Tobias's Dino Impact power as it began to spin viciously. While soaring through the air they ran right into the stream and it was slowly pushing them back.
"The Dino Drill isn't strong enough to get through this!" Zach and Xander said together.
"I'm not going to give up! Activate Fire Breath!" Tobias said as he placed his hands on the orb and generated a lot of power into as the T-Rex's mouth opened up and released a stream of fire that started melting the ice rapidly. They finally gained the advantage they needed. Fridgia began to stand up a bit more trying to put her entire effort into the attack to stop them. She saw them coming closer as she started to give into her defeat.
"I almost broke free out of this reality and could've laid waste to your entire planet!" Fridgia said in defeat.
"You're not going to hurt OUR HOME!" Tobias said as he yelled until his drill and flames hit Fridgia. Once they did Fridgia's entire body was pierced like a sword and began to spin in circles from the drill as her body began to burn up and rapidly melt. Tobias raised the body up and threw Fridgia's body up into the purple sky as she gave her final yell before exploding leaving no trace of her remains anywhere.
Tobias was breathing heavily as he fell to his knees. Zach and Xander quickly grabbed their comrade and lifted him up on their shoulders. "I feel really drained. I poured everything I had into that attack." He said breathing heavily. The three were teleported out of the Megazord and when they looked at their combined power, they watched it split into their individual forms. The Zords then looked at them as the Ptera Zord and Tricera Zord became balls of light and went right back into their respective Morphers. The T-Rex Zord growled at Tobias as it relayed a message to him.
"What do you mean by that?" Tobias said hearing the message. But he was so tired from his fight he couldn't think straight. The Zord then became a ball of light and flew into Tobias's Morpher as the world they were in faded back into their reality. The three had been reverted back into their human forms as they looked around to see time as well as their world back to the way they knew it once was.
"What did your T-Rex tell you Tobias? Tobias?" Xander said as he was fast asleep from giving his all.
Brett had finally gotten ahold of the Rangers, "Guys! Are you okay?!" Brett said worried about them.
"Yeah We uh are uh okay. Tobias is uh passed out." Zach said stuttering.
"Can you guys carry him back through the Invisi-Portal? He should be okay coming back." Brett said.
"The what Portal?" Xander said.
"The portal you guys used to get there. I've activated it to be there once you get there. Just walk back and bring Tobias back. I found in my research left by my ancestor that these portals are called Invisi-Portals." He explained.
"That's fine we can get back. We also have some information to share with you about what we just learned." Xander said into his bracelet as the two carried Tobias back to where they came from.
In a far-off distance a man in a beige trench coat and white bandana around his face was tapping on his silver bracelet with a white gemstone in it.
"So, you have become a "Power Ranger" huh? Here I thought I was the only one with this power. Unfortunately for you mine is more territorial and doesn't play well with others. I guess I'm going to have to kill you and your friends…Aren't I son?" The man said as he began snickering. He then turned around and super sped away.
