Dreams 2: Blue Wolf Rising
Chapter 12: Secrets Revealed
"What are you doing here?" Kira asked.
"Just passing by and I heard you playing," Connor replied.
"Yeah right," Kira scoffed.
"Look Kira, I didn't come here to pressure you or anything. I was just worried about you," Connor insisted.
"It's fine, I'm not mad at you. I was just a little uncomfortable back there at Cyberspace with the two of you competing for me," Kira replied.
"I'm really sorry I made you feel that way and I promise from now on to stop being a jerk and just give you the space you need," Connor said, as he turned to leave.
"Hey Connor?" she called. He turned back.
"Walk me home?" she asked. He smiled and held out his hand to help her up. She accepted and the two headed for Kira's house hand in hand.
The next day, school was in session and things started out normal. But as the rangers knew, a day in the life of a power ranger never ended up being normal. Tommy dismissed his last class and decided to go talk to Principal Randall. He promised Ethan that he would try to get his Dragon War cards back from her. Tommy walked into Randall's office just in time to see her transform into Elsa.
"I knew there was something I didn't like about you," Tommy said.
"I was wondering how long I could pull this off," Elsa replied.
"I have to give you credit, we should have seen it," Tommy said.
"It's a shame Tommy, we could have had something," Elsa said. Tommy scoffed.
"Dream on," Tommy said, back, as the two began to fight. The two took their fight outside and drew quite a crowd.
"Is Dr. O trying to get himself fired?" Kira asked.
"Hey Dr. C!" Connor called. Billy saw the spectacle on the lawn and joined the three.
"Do you have any idea what's going on?" Ethan asked. Billy looked closely and wanted to smack himself for not seeing it sooner.
"It's Elsa," Billy said. As he said that, Randall transformed back into Elsa.
"Whoa, didn't see that one coming," Connor said.
"You fight well for a science teacher," Elsa said.
"You're not bad for a principal," Tommy replied back.
"Former principal. Tell the school board that I resign," Elsa said, as she disappeared.
"No, don't go," Ethan whined.
"Are you kidding?" Connor asked.
"She has the ruby dragon card, I've been looking for that card since I was a kid," Ethan said. Billy rushed to meet Tommy.
"We should have seen that one," Billy said.
"Tell me about it. Billy and I are going to tell the school board what happened. You three meet us for training in the woods later," Tommy said, as he and Billy took off.
Later, the three Dino rangers met Tommy and Billy in the woods outside the secret entrance to the basement command center.
"Where's Trent?" Tommy asked.
"I don't know, he was supposed to meet us here," Kira replied.
"He probably just got hung up at the Cyber café," Tommy said. Suddenly, they were thrown to the ground by a blast.
"Whoa, the ruby dragon," Ethan said.
"Elsa didn't waste any time," Connor said.
"Ready, Dino Thunder Power up! Ha!" Ethan, Connor, Kira, and Tommy called.
"Ninjetti! The Wolf!" Billy called.
"Super Dino Mode!"
"Wolf Battlizer!"
The rangers were able to finally destroy the monsters with the help of the zords and it was apparent that Elsa had failed again.
"I give you chance after chance and you fail me time after time. Soon, I will run out of patience and be forced to take action," Mesagog threatened.
"Did you learn anything from this Ethan?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, leave the card games at home from now on," Ethan replied.
"How about leave the card games to the kids from now on," Kira suggested.
Toran trotted alongside his father. He didn't have school because of conferences and was coming to work with his dad while his mother visited his teachers.
"I'll bet your in to Dragon Wars, right Tor?" Ethan asked.
"Not really, I like the new thing uncle Hunter gave me," Toran replied.
"What's that?" Kira asked.
"Uncle Hunter is training me to use a lance like my dad. A real lance," Toran replied.
"Remember, your mom's not supposed to know about that," Billy reminded. The group laughed. Suddenly, they ran into Anton Mercer and Trent. The group tried to act normal, not letting on that they knew about him being Mesagog. After Toran was rescued, they made it out to look like Toran couldn't remember his encounter with Mesagog. Toran clung to his father's pant leg and Billy picked up his son.
"Hey Anton," Tommy greeted.
"Hello Tommy," he replied. Suddenly, his beeper went off and Anton pulled it out of his pocket. While he was doing that, the ruby dragon card also fell out.
"How did you get this?" Ethan asked.
"I have no idea, is this yours Trent?" Anton asked.
"No, don't know how it got there," Trent lied. Suddenly, Anton became weak and fell.
"Are you all right?" Tommy asked.
"I'll be fine," he replied.
"Let's get you some help," Tommy said.
"NO!" Anton yelled, as he ran off.
Tommy, Billy, and the others ran after him.
"Leave him alone! He'll be fine!" Trent called, not knowing that they knew.
He ran after them in an attempt to stop them.
"ANTON WAIT!" Tommy called.
"Please leave me!" Anton called back. They finally caught up to him in an empty classroom. Anton convulsed a bit and completed the transformation into Mesagog before their eyes.
"No..." Trent said. Mesagog quickly changed back into Anton and disappeared through an invisi-portal after apologizing to his son.
"This is what you've been hiding. You knew the whole time!" Kira said.
"Even though we already knew, you still betrayed us by not telling us that you knew about this all along," Connor said.
"You guys knew?" Trent asked.
"While you were still under the evil influence of the white dino gem, my son was unfortunate enough to witness Anton's transformation. Mesagog put Toran in a coma. After we found a way to wake him up, we made sure not to let on that we knew anything and we made sure to let on like Toran had forgotten the whole thing. We didn't tell you because we didn't want to make fighting him harder for you, but I guess that wasn't necessary," Billy replied.
"Yeah, you had no trouble fighting alongside us and lying to us at the same time," Connor replied.
"Cool it Connor, we're partially at fault for not telling him we knew. But if we hadn't Trent, this would have been a rude awakening for us. We're a team and we have to be able to trust each other," Tommy said. They began to leave, when Trent stopped Kira.
"Kira, please, he's my dad," Trent pleaded.
"I know you were scared Trent, but you should have come to us. I've asked you to open up to me repeatedly, but you wouldn't. I don't know if I can be with someone who I'm not sure I can trust. At least Connor is honest. He may not be very tactful when going about it, but he's honest," Kira replied, as she left.
Kat walked up the steps of the high school with Larisa in her arms. She was here to meet up with her husband and son, when Vile suddenly appeared in front of her. Kat drew back and glared at him.
"Stay away from us," Kat hissed.
"Oh Katherine, you really must give up this useless resistance," Vile said, as he strode toward her.
"You're obsessed," Kat spat.
"You're right, I am. I've wanted you since the moment I saw you and I always get what I want in the end," Vile replied.
"Leave us alone Vile," Kat said, as she kept backing away.
"My dear, you know I don't want to hurt you. But if you do not come with me, I may be forced to hurt your daughter," Vile threatened.
"You monster," Kat said in disbelief. Suddenly, the Tyrannodrones surrounded her, ready to seize she and Larisa. Fortunately, her wolf came to the rescue. Billy stood morphed on the steps of the school with the Dino rangers.
"This blaster is aimed at your head. If you so much as breathe on her wrong, much less move, you're dead," Billy said, venom lining his voice. Vile slowly turned to face him.
"Shoot me from behind? Isn't that against ranger code?" Vile quipped.
"I don't care what rule it violates, just as long as you never touch my wife again," Billy spat back. Tommy, Kira, Ethan, and Connor fanned out and defeated the Tyrannodrones. Vile smirked evilly and outstretched his palm toward Toran, who was standing out of the way. Glowing energy appeared in his palm.
"Drop that blaster or I kill your son," Vile threatened.
"Toran!" Kat cried. Billy faltered, but still held the blaster.
"That was not a threat, it was a promise blue ranger," Vile spat. Billy growled and threw the blaster to the ground.
"Unfortunately, your son must die anyway," Vile said, as he fired the blast at Toran. Kat screamed in horror and time seemed to freeze around them, as the blast neared closer to the child...
