Chapter 9: A Stormy Rise

Tommy, Shane and the other rangers all made it back to Tommy Oliver's house. They walked down the steps quickly, as the base sparked. The place was completely trashed, Kira and Ethan split up and began looking around. A soft groan came from one of the piles of metal, Shane bolted over and threw the trash off to see Cam and Hunter half buried.

"Tommy." Shane shouted, "I found them."

Pulling them out, he got the crimson and green ranger onto their feet. They stumbled around and rubbed their heads, feeling a bit sore. Kira and Ethan came back into the room and saw them.

"How did you guys survive the blast?" Kira asked, "It must have been huge."

"This giant metal thing protected us." Hunter kicked a sheet of metal, "What's the situation."

"Eric stole Conner's morpher so now we have 4 evil rangers on are hand. And Mesogog is doing charity work by helping us eliminate them." Ethan quickly spoke.

"Not so fast. Were not sure if we can trust Mesogog exactly."

"Do we have a choice?" Shane crossed his arms, "We are out number, as long as the rest of us Ninja Rangers are powerless, you guys stand no chance."

Cam shifted his eyes, "Tommy's right though. What if this is a trap or something."

Tommy looked around, he crossed his arms and sighed, "Maybe we don't have a choice. I'll at least hear what he has to say."

"Were all going with you." Hunter added in, "I want to know what is going on exactly."

"So how do we find him?" Kira crossed her arms, "I mean its not like he has a base or anything."

"I know just the place." Tommy responded

--
Dustin and his companions appeared back at the base. He slammed his fist down on the counter and muttered, he was so close in destroying the rangers. The Zords were down, both bases where destroyed. He just sighed and turned to the others. A faint voice echoed all around.

"Let me out! Eric! When I get my hands on you! Im going to kill you!"

Eric muttered, "I'll go shut my brother up."

"You do that." Dustin shifted his eyes to Tori, "We are going to strike again. This time with full force."

"We out number the rangers. This shouldn't be hard. We will call the rangers out for a final duel."

"And that's when we will strike." Dustin roared in excitement, "I love my plan already!"

"Don't get to cocky, we still have Mesogog and Elsa to deal with."

"They are nothing." Dustin grinned, "We eliminate the rangers first. Take their powers and nothing can stop us."

--
Tommy knew the one place that Mesogog would most likely be. Tommy shifted the gears in his jeep and drove fast to Mercer's mansion. Ethan, Hunter and Cam were in his car, they turned to see Conner's red car zip on by, with Kira behind the wheel. The two cars swerved around the street and towards Mercer's drive way. Entering, Kira jacked the E-Brakes and jerked the car. It skidded to a stop, spinning and having the trunk face the garage door. Shane unbuckled his seat belt and climbed out, along with Kira. The two of them turn to see the jeep pull up.

"You know Kira, Conner is going to kill you for driving his car."

"I like to see him try." She grinned as she closed the door and brushed her bangs out of the way.

"What makes you think Mesogog would be here?" Cam adjusted his glasses.

Hunter looked around, "Elsa was here earlier. I had to fight her."

"Maybe we should do that again sometime." Her cold voice caught their attention.

They turned to see Elsa walking around the side of the house. She leaned on the garage side and nodded, before turning and walking back down the path. The other rangers looked at each other before quickly going after Elsa. She had entered the house, Tommy followed in first and they walked into the kitchen. Mesogog was standing there, he hissed a bit as Elsa stopped and turned at the rangers.

"Were willing to listen to your idea." Tommy spoke up, "How can the others get their powers back."

Before Mesogog could answer, Lothor suddenly out of nowhere, walked into the kitchen, "Well if it isn't the rangers." He grinned.

The rangers got into a fighting position, "What is this? Some kind of trap!?" Hunter shouted, "I thought you were destroyed!?"

Lothor flailed his hands in the air, "Why does everyone always think Im destroyed."

"What is going on." Shane shouted, "Tell us."

"Lothor was the one that extracted the powers from the amulet to create the evil discs." Elsa explained, "He may be able to restore the power he had drained back into the amulet."

"How do we know it wont just make us evil?" Cam asked, "I don't think that's a chance were willing to take."

"Neither would we." Mesogog hissed, "I need base back to complete my plans, and I will go to the extremes of restoring your powers to get it."

"You sure you can trust Lothor." Ethan lowered his arms.

"Mesogog filled me in on everything that happened, even if I was to break away and start my own world domination, I would have to deal with the evil rangers myself. I am willing to put a temporarily truce till they are defeated. And then we can continue where we left off rangers."

"We stopped you once, we can do it again." Shane reminded him, "So be careful what you asked for."

A beep on Shane's morpher interuptted their little conversation. He was a bit confused, everyone that could contact him was already here. He hit the button.

"Hello?"

"Hey Shane, it's Dustin. Do me a favor, tell the power rangers that were going to destroy them. We'll be in the Reefside Valley if there at all interested in dying."

A faint laughed echo as the communication was cut off. Ethan and Kira nodded, raising their moprhers.

"We'll distract them. You get your powers." Kira informed them, "We'll be fine."

Tommy nodded, "Ready guys?"

"Ready!" Ethan shouted.

"Dino Thunder! Power up! Hah!" The three of them chorus.

The Dino Thunder rangers quickly appeared at the Reefside Valley, the walked around, keeping their guard up. Suddenly streaks past the rangers and Dustin appeared in front of them. Tori, Trent and Eric landed beside him, already morphed. The rangers faced each other.

"Well, this is it." Dustin grinned, "Rangers Vs Rangers. Are you ready to lose."

"You don't stand a chance." Eric sneered, "When you are finished, we rangers will show the world the true meaning of power."

"Were not going to hurt you, but we will if we have too." Tommy shouted back, "Let's do it guys."

Rangers from both side began bolting forward, colliding with each other. Kira slammed into Trent and Eric, as Ethan clashed with Tori. Breaking away, Ethan turned to see Dustin and Tommy dueling with each other. Tommy pulled out his brachio staff and slammed it into Dustin's stomach, he grabbed Dustin by the arm and threw him on the ground. The yellow ranger grumbled and rolled back onto his feet, he pulled out his lion hammer and struck back. Tommy went flying back onto the ground. He held his hands on his chest, breathing heavily. Dustin was strong, the evil discs were giving them a great edge.

"Had enough old man?"

"Not exactly, that's the problem with you rookies." Tommy stood up, "You always underestimate your seniors."

Tommy flipped back on his feet and pushed forward, slamming his staff into Dustin's weapon. Kicking the hammer out of his hand, Tommy struck him with his staff and knocking back.

Kira was having a bit trouble of her own, as she pulled out her Ptera Grips and blocked Eric's attack. She then shifted and dodged Trent's blast. She flipped backwards and kicked Eric out of the way before Trent tackled her to the ground.

"Hey sweetie." He grinned, "Miss me?"

"Oh you make sick."

Kira kicked him off and pulled herself back up. She jumped out of the way as Eric pulled out the Tyranno staff and tried to trip her. Groaning a bit, Kira backed away a bit, passing Ethan. The Blue Dino Ranger blocked Tori's ninja sword and hit her in the gut, knocking her back. Pulling out his shield, he blocked her blaster and charged forward. Tori flipped over him and did a roundhouse kick, knocking him down. She then kneed him in the back and placed the sword near his neck

"Look's like you lose." She whispered in his ear

--
"Let's do this." Shane pulled out his power disc.

Hunter, Blake and Cam did the same, as they glanced at each other and handed it Lothor. Cam took off his amulet and gave it to him, before the four of them took a step back. Lothor clenched the amulet in his hand, and the power disc in his other hand. A sudden power surge ran through his fists, the rangers watched carefully, still feeling a bit skeptic. Elsa and Mesogog grinned at each other.

"It's done." Lothor took a step forward to hand it back, "Whatever powers I drained from the Amulet, I have restored."

"Seams too easy." Cam grabbed the amulet, "You sure?"

"How else did I create those evil power discs?" He rolled his eyes, "It's not like I was provided with technology down in the abyss to do it correctly."

Shane nodded, "We got to help the others."

"What about them?" Blake asked.

"Don't worry about us." Mesogog hissed, "We won't be going anywhere yet."

"This is one fight we should stay off." Elsa grinned, "Go Rangers, go make us proud."

Hunter shifted his eyes, her sarcastic was very well noticeable. He nodded to the others as they streaked away towards the valley.

Tori was about to strike Ethan, as the ninja streaks zipped past her. She stopped to find out what it was, Ethan took the chance to knock her off. Tommy, Kira and Ethan all regrouped as Cam and the other ninja rangers appeared. Dustin turned, the evil rangers all lined up, wondering what they were up too.

"Get the prisoner." Trent turned to Eric, "Quickly."

Eric nodded as he vanished into a portal. Dustin took a step forward, catching their attention.

"No matter what you do." He shouted, "You don't stand a chance. Don't even bother."

Tommy turned to Cam, "Did it work?"

"We'll soon find out." He responded and pulled it out, "Let's do it guys."

"Ninja Storm! Ranger Form Hah!" Shane shouted.

"Thunder Storm, Ranger Form."

"Samurai Storm, Ranger Form." Cam finished.

With a flash of light, the rangers suites quickly materialized. Under the helmet, Dustin went wide eye at the sudden surprised they gave. No matter, it wasn't going to hinder his plans.

"It worked!" Shane shouted, "Were back in action."

"Let's do this." Tommy added.

The rangers lined up, each facing each other. The wind howled, the final battle was going to began, but who was going to be the victor? Each one pulled out their swords or staff and got into a fighting position. From the distant, Elsa, Mesogog and Lothor were watching from afar.

"Who ever remains standing is who we destroy." Mesogog hissed, "Be prepared Elsa"

Lothor turned, "And as soon as they are destroyed, I will take me revenge for locking me up." He pointed out.

Mesogog scowled, "Can't wait."
