'White Thunder, Part 3'
Inside a dark, dank, and obviously abandoned warehouse, the White Ranger is standing over an object and a soft white glow can be seen flowing towards the object.
"Once the energy transfer is complete, the dino egg will hatch and I will be in command of most powerful zord in Ranger history, and then there will only be one color left in the rainbow" The White Ranger said, as the energy streamed from his Dino Gem towards the white and black dino egg.
The White Ranger found it after his last battle with the Rangers where he drained their powers. After finding it and sensing a connection between it and him, or at least his dino gem, the White Ranger gave the egg the other Rangers drained powers, just to start it off, and then he begun to give prolonged exposure to his Dino Gem and it's energy in a hope of forming a connection with the Dino Zord inside.
"Maybe when I destroy the Rangers, I might just keep the Yellow Ranger alive and have her around for my own enjoyment. Although I will have to break her spirit first, that of course will be the fun part!" The White Ranger chuckled to himself as he upped the power to the egg.
------------------
"Devin! Devin!" Cassidy shouts as she enters Hayley's Cyberspace. The long-haired camera man turns to her as she sits down at the table.
"What?" Devin asks.
"You are not gonna believe this! I have footage that will get me on every news channel worldwide!"
"Cass, I believe you're have delusions of grandeur"
"Funny, Devin, I have footage of the White Ranger!"
"Where did you get it? I thought no one had footage of the White Ranger" Devin states.
"Yeah, I know, but I got it off a kid at the film department at the grammar school. He sold it to me for like nothing, what a complete sucker!"
"Okay, genius, have you seen it yet"
"No, buy my source says it is one hundred percent reliable" Cassidy says, handing Devin a disk with 'White Ranger footage – DivX' written on it. Devin pops the disk into his laptops DVD drive and presses play on the computer, it begins to play. The footage displays a boy dressed in an 'accurate as you can get from second-hand sources' costume of the first White Ranger, the Original White Power Ranger from Angel Grove, the boy yell from the video, "Sucker!"
"Cass, this is a kid dressed in a White Ranger costume, and this is wrong White Ranger, this is the White Ranger from the first team, back in Angel Grove, from twelve years ago" Devin says, Cassidy gets angry.
"I know Devin! I can see that! Why that little punk! I'm gonna show him who's a sucker! Come on Devin, Now!" Cassidy shouts as she walks to the door and Devin tries as fast as he can to pack his laptop away and chase after his partner.
"Cass, Wait up! At least let me pack away my computer" Devin shouted after her, putting his laptop into standby mode and ran after her.
------------------
It has been several days since the appearance of the White Ranger, where he swiftly defeated them in a pitched battle, which bruised the Rangers pride and few parts of their anatomy also. Neither the White Ranger or Mesogog have attacked, and the Rangers were enjoying the respite, but they were also on edge, as they knew that he or Mesogog could attack again at any time.
Near the counter in Cyberspace, Kira sat talking to Hayley, the Rangers Technical Advisor, finishing of a smoothie, generally talking about things, trying to stay away from the subject of the White Ranger as much as possible. Kira generally talked to Hayley, despite the eight year age gap.
"So, um Kira, you've been spending a lot of time with this Michael guy I've heard about from Tommy, what's he like then" Hayley asked.
"He's great, funny; kinda sexy, not like some guys I've come across" Kira said.
"So, do you like him?"
"Hayley! I barely know him"
"But he did ask you out on a date last night, didn't he?"
"I wouldn't call going to the pictures a date" Kira said.
"I would!"
"Hayley!"
"So did you get up to, um, anything?"
"Hayley!! Stop it!"
"What?"
"Stop it!"
"Did you two get up to anything?"
"No. We did not kiss or anything. Hayley, I barely know him!" Kira insisted, "I don't kiss guys I've just meet"
"Okay, so we've established that you didn't get up to anything. But do you like him?"
"Yes. I don't know, ever since that science class where he walked in, He's the only thing I've though about, except the White Ranger, of course"
"Sounds like love to me!" Hayley said, making it sound like an afterthought.
"Hayley! I do not 'love' him..."
"I think I sense a 'but' in there" Hayley said.
"But, I think I'm falling in love with him" Kira said quietly.
"Kira! You barely know him!" Hayley said, echoing some off Kira lasts statements.
"I know, I don't understand it, but he's different to other guys I've dated in the past. They were jerks, every single one of them were jerks, and a couple make even Conner seam respectable" this got a laugh out of Hayley, "But Michael is different, and it scares the hell out of me"
"Love is scary, Kira, but it is also exciting. But do me one favour?"
"What?
"Take it slow"
"I will" Kira said, just as Ethan came up to the counter.
"Hi, Ethan" Hayley said, greeting the Blue Ranger, "Do you want a smoothie?"
"Thanks, Hayley" Ethan said.
"Kira? Another?"
"Please" and Hayley went to go and get two drinks for the Rangers. A couple minutes passed when Hayley returned with the drinks.
"So Ethan, how are you feeling?" Hayley asked, handing them both another smoothie; Blueberry for Ethan and Lemon and Orange for Kira.
"My neck still hurts after the butt whipping he gave us" Ethan said, emphasising his point by rubbing his neck and referring to the White Ranger and their defeat at his hands.
"Yeah, He was unstoppable. I'm glad our powers came back, I would have hated to be completely defenceless against this guy" Kira said.
"Well, I've been doing some research into this guy and it appears that he might be being controlled or influenced by something or someone" Hayley said.
"His actions are not his own?" Kira asked; the red-head nodded.
"Could he have been working for Mesogog and then turned on him? It's not like it hasn't happened before!" Ethan suggested.
"Maybe, or..." Hayley said.
"Or?!" Kira asked.
"Or what, Hayley?" Ethan asked as well.
"Or his gem has been corrupted somehow and its energies are twisting an innocent person into this evil Ranger" Hayley said, "But this just a theory at the moment, but that maybe an explanation for the slight change in his gem signature"
Then beeps filled the conversation, it was coming from the Rangers Dino Braces, indicating they were being contacted by Dr. Oliver.
"Please don't tell me he's back! I'm still picking gravel out of my hair from the last time!" Kira said sarcastically.
"Well, Kira, there is only one way to find out" Ethan said.
"Be careful, guys" Hayley said.
"We will" Kira said exiting the door.
------------------
Ethan and Kira arrive in the underground lab of Dr. Tommy Oliver, the Black Dino Thunder Ranger and find him and Conner McKnight, the Red Ranger looking at a computer screen.
"Please tell me you have some news? Like who the White Ranger is?" Kira asked walking over to the Red and Black Rangers.
"Unfortunately, no, but take a look at this" Tommy said, pointing at the screen.
"Two Dino eggs! No way!" Kira said.
"Hey, do you think this is what Easter was like sixty-five million years ago, Dr. O?" Ethan asks.
"How do you come up with stuff?" Conner says.
"Conner, Kira, you two go to the warehouse district. Ethan, you come with me to the docks, we can discuss your Dino Easter theory on the way" Tommy orders, ignoring Conner's jibe.
"Why, Dr. O, do you think this could be great thesis material?" Ethan asks.
"No, but it might make great coffee table reading" Tommy counters with a smile.
"Or something you might read in 'Reader's Digest'" Conner says, joking with Ethan.
"Oh, like you've never read a Readers Digest, Conner!" Ethan says.
"Shut Up, Ethan, one had a very interesting interview with Real Madrid's David Beckham..." Conner says back, being cut if by Ethan.
"Soccer, how predictable!..." Ethan said as he was cut off.
"Guys! Guys! We've got a Easter hunt, so can we get going and find some eggs, please!" Kira says in annoyance.
"Kira's right, we've got a job to do, so lets get to it" Tommy says.
------------------
"Cass, what if you find out he's just a kid?" Devin asks as they walk through the plaza area of the mall, which was an open air mall.
"Devin, he's a menace who screwed me out of twenty bucks, and I intend to get my money back" Cassidy says in her defense and then she points to a small group of children playing, "There they are!" The kids turn around and spots Cassidy walking sternly towards him and they bolt, with Cassidy and a reluctant Devin giving chase.
After chasing the kids, Cassidy corners then, the ring-leader, holds up his hands in defeat. "Lady, leave me alone, or I'll scream" They boy said, sternly.
"Did you just call me 'Lady'?!" Cassidy said, not believing her ears, "I'm, like, not that much older than you!"
"Oh please! You're like my mom's age!" The kid says, earning a round of giggles from his friends. Devin tried his best to hide his laughter, but he received an elbow from Cassidy.
"Look, kid, I want my money back" Cassidy asked.
"I can't give your money back" the boy said.
"Why not?"
"Cause I already spent it" he said, "Look, I'm sorry. It was wrong. I know it was, but, hey, I'm just a kid and I really do have a tape of the White Ranger"
"Yeah, right!" Cassidy snorted.
"I do! Look, if you let me go, I'll go home, get it for you and meet you here later"
"Yeah, right!" Cassidy said, echoing her last statement.
"Meet me here at six, I'll have the tape, No lie, you have my word" The boy said.
"Your word? You're joking" Cassidy says.
"Listen, we live in a really cynical word. I understand your reluctance not to believe in me, but if you could just have a little hope, a little faith in humanity, in the youth of America!" they boy says, pleading with Cassidy's better nature.
"Oh, alright! I'll meet you here at six, on the dot, not a second later, understand" Cassidy orders.
"Thank you, you won't regret this" The kid said, running off.
"Oh, come on, Devin, we have some preparing to do for when, and if, we get that tape" Cassidy says and she walks in the opposite direction that the kid ran of to.
------------------
Meanwhile in the warehouse, Conner and Kira are following a couple of dino scanners given to them by Dr. O; Conner and Kira's scanners are currently emitting steady beeps.
"Conner, you have anything, I've got nothing on mine" Kira asks.
"Nothing on mine either" Conner said, "Maybe we should split up, you go one way, and I'll go the other"
Kira turned to him, "You think that's such a good idea. What if White Ranger shows up?"
"Morph, call me and I'll be there in a flash" Conner grinned, making a reference to the comic book hero 'The Flash', a figure Conner shares a trait with, their super speed.
"Well you've got the red spandex, Conner" Kira giggled quietly.
"Except I've got no lightning bolt!" Conner said, "Kira?"
"Yeah"
"Be careful"
"Right" Kira says and the two Rangers go in opposite directions.
------------------
The White Ranger, pouring white energy into his dino egg, he senses the presence of Conner and Kira, "Looks like I'm not alone" The White Ranger then disappeared and went of to find some rangers.
------------------
"Where is this egg at?" Conner says, staring at his dino scanner, walking through one section of the huge warehouse he and Kira are searching in. Conner however doesn't notice a ghost-like image stalking him until it was to late when the butt of the White Rangers Drago Saber connected on the back of Conner's head, right at the base of the skull, rendering the Red Ranger unconscious.
"Now to deal with the Yellow one" The White Ranger said as he shrouded himself again to find the Yellow Ranger.
------------------
Kira walked quietly, searching for any sign of the egg on her scanner, and her scanner begun to beep more quickly, as she got closer to the signal, and then she saw a white and black dino egg in a clamp. Kira raises her Dino Brace to call Conner.
"Conner, Kira here, I've found it" Kira said, she waited for a response, and received none.
"Conner, come in" Kira said again. She received no response. Kira was starting to get worried.
"Conner, come in, please, it's Kira, come in" Kira said, and Kira's worry begun to grow, "Conner, where are you?"
"I'm afraid the Red Ranger is unavailable at the moment, please leave a message after the tone, and he'll get back to you later" a voice said out of nowhere. Kira immediately knew who it was.
"White Ranger?!" Kira said; the hairs on her neck stood on end. She was scared now, the White Ranger defeated them during their last encounter with very little effort, and now she was all alone, Conner either unconscious or, 'Oh-no!' Kira thought, "Where is he?" Kira said, trying to push the fear that the Red Ranger was not alive to the back of her mind.
"He's just, how can I put this, taking a little nap!" White Ranger said, materializing in front of her, "I didn't want us to be interrupted"
"If you've hurt him, I'll..." Kira threatened, but she was cut off by the White Ranger.
"You'll what? What exactly will you do?" White Ranger counter-threatened.
"This!" Kira said, readying her morpher, which appeared over her Dino Gem "DINO THUNDER..." Kira shouted halfway through her morph sequence as White Ranger, using his superior speed, he grabbed Kira's left wrist.
"Tut, tut, tut, now that isn't very nice, is it?" White Ranger said, tightening his grip on Kira's wrist. Kira winced, as the White Ranger continued to squeeze, until tears were blinding Kira's vision.
"Please...you...you're hurting...me!" Kira said, sobbing lightly as the pain continued to grow, she was sure her wrist would snap if he continued. Then the White Ranger suddenly twisted Kira's arm around her back, unlatched her Dino Brace from her arm and let go.
"What?!" Kira said, feeling her wrist, as the pain suddenly subsided, and Kira found that her Dino Brace was missing from her left wrist, "My brace!" Kira said, turning on the White Ranger, seeing him dangle it in front of her face, taunting her, "Give that back"
"What? I let go of your wrist, didn't I?" White Ranger said.
"Yes, you did, thanks, but I really need that back"
"No, I'm gonna keep it. But I'll give it back, you've just gotta work for it" White Ranger chuckled.
"You want me to fight you? Unmorphed?" Kira asked.
"Kind of"
"What do you mean, 'Kind of'?"
"Well, it is unfair me being morphed and you, well being not, so I'll make a deal with you. If you can knock me on my ass, once, just once, you can have it back, okay"
"And you expect me to trust you, I'm not stupid!"
"Look, I'll make it even more fair, directly in your favour, I'll play defensive, no offensive moves from me, and you can attack, I promise I won't lay a finger on you, unless it is to block. What do you say?" White Ranger asked, continuing to taunt Kira with her brace.
"Okay" Kira said, with very little choice open to her, she gets into a fighting stance and attacked, the White Ranger continued to block and none of Kira's attacks managed to land a solid hit. Kira tried to punch White Ranger in the head, but he ducked and leg sweep Kira of her feet, her head cracked against the concrete, sending stars into her vision. The White Ranger kneeled and grabbed Kira by a lock of her long dark brown hair, causing the Yellow Ranger to wince as her hair was pulled.
"You should never trust someone who is evil; it's not a good idea!" White Ranger said, before driving Kira's head into the concrete again, and sending her into the big black sleep. The White Ranger dropped her Dino Brace on the ground, leaving a message for the other Rangers, and picked Kira of the ground, placed her over his shoulder and picked up his dino egg in the other arm and accessed a nearby invisi-portal, and he disappeared along with the Yellow Ranger and the egg.
------------------
"Oh, man, what the hell hit me?!" Conner said; picking himself of the ground, holding the back of his head, feeling that the hit broke the skin, and the blood was just seeping out through the cut, his Dino Gem would heal that in no time. Conner also observed that the blow really hurt, but he struggled to his feet anyway and regained his balance and begun to find Kira.
After around fifteen minutes of searching, with the threat of blackening out a major factor to the Red Ranger, Conner managed to arrive at the location that his team-mate was in, only to find her dino scanner and her Dino Brace on the ground.
"What? Kira's brace" Conner said, bending over and picking up the silver metal bracelet with a yellow crystal set in the middle, "Kira!" Conner shouts, "Kira! Can you hear me?" No response.
Conner brings his Dino Brace to his mouth, "Dr. O?" he says.
"Yes Conner" Dr. Oliver says through the comm. line.
"Dr. O, we've got a problem"
"What sort?"
"Kira's missing"
"What?!" Ethan's voice could clearly be heard coming through the channel.
"I said Kira's missing, Ethan; I think we were attacked by the White Ranger. He cracked me over the back of the head, I was out, and then after searching for a few minutes, I found her brace and her scanner lying on the ground" Conner explained.
"Were you and Kira together when you were attacked?" Dr. O asked.
"We separated, to cover the area faster. I'm getting the feeling now that we shouldn't have, right, Dr. O?"
"We'll discuss that later, Conner, Me and Ethan have secured a Dino Egg, meet us back at the lab. We'll begin a search for Kira" Dr. O said.
"Right. Um...Dr. O?"
"Yes, Conner"
"I'm sorry"
"Its okay Conner, just get back to the lab. Safely" Dr. O said.
"Bye" Conner said, cutting the comm. line, and he suddenly hit mach ten as he engaged his super speed to run the long distance from the warehouse district to Dr. O's house, thinking that time is of the essence.
------------------
Back in the Lab, Conner arrives to find Hayley already at the computer. Dr. O and Ethan haven't arrived yet.
"Any luck, Hayley" Conner said, rushing up to the main computer console.
"None. I'm scanning for Kira's residual energy signature" Hayley says.
"What's that?"
"When your Dino Gem bonded to you, it rewrote certain RNA sequences in your DNA code, in order for your skills to manifest themselves. It also allows you too morph. As a side effect, the modified DNA changes your bodies' electromagnetic field to a certain extent that allows me to track it. I've added your electromagnetic profiles to the computers just in case you were ever separated from your gems, for what ever reason, so we could find you" Hayley explained.
"Oh! Hayley, just out of curiosity, how do you track us normally?"
"By your Dino Gems and a micro-transponder build into your morphers" Hayley said, and then the red-head noticed Conner solemn expression, "Conner, It's not your fault. We'll find her"
"How can you say it wasn't my fault?! I was my frigging idea for us to split up" Conner snapped.
"You made a mistake, Conner, but you'll never learn anything unless you make a few mistakes first"
"Yeah, but this mistake could cost Kira her fucking life, Hayley, that White Ranger is capable of anything!" Conner shouted.
"Conner, calm down, please! Shouting at me is not gonna help get Kira back any faster. We'll find her, don't worry" Hayley said, putting a comforting hand on Conner's arm, she felt the anger rolling of him in waves. She could tell he wasn't angry at her, but at himself. Hayley smiled, looking into the Red Rangers eyes, "I will find her, Conner, even if I have to pull an all-nighter. Besides, I've got a few more tricks up my sleeves"
"Thanks Hayley"
"Sit down, you can help me, if you like" Hayley said.
"No thanks, computers and me don't mix, but do you want some coffee? You could be searching for a while" Conner offered.
"Thanks that would be nice"
"How do you like it?"
"Black, no sugar. Use Tommy's Columbian blend, it my favourite"
"Coming right up. And Thanks again"
"For what?"
"For understanding" Conner said, before disappearing up the stairs into the house.
------------------
"Ah, what is this?" Mesogog said, looking at a display in the main lab located in his fortress island lair, "It appears Dr. Oliver and Mr. James have picked up something of interest"
Elsa came up the monitor, holding a data-pad, "Something also of interest, My Lord"
"What is it Elsa?"
"The Yellow Ranger has disappeared off our scopes, but the reasons for her disappearance have yet to be determined" Elsa explained.
"Interesting. It is what Dr. Oliver has found which interests me more, Elsa; it appears to be a Dino Egg. But the Yellow Rangers sudden disappearance is not an opportunity to be missed; the Power Rangers are weakened, and this presents us with two very tempting possibilities. Elsa, go to the genetic randomizer and create a monster. I will send it to destroy the Black and Blue Rangers, retrieve the egg and then it will destroy the Red Ranger and then Reefside!" Mesogog said.
"Yes, My Lord" Elsa said, carrying out her masters orders.
"My Lord?" Zeltrax asked.
"Yes, Zeltrax"
"Permission to accompany your creation to destroy the Rangers. I wish to, pay Dr. Oliver a visit" Zeltrax pleaded with the Dino Genius.
"Why not?! Maybe the two of you can get the job done, but bring me that egg, Zeltrax"
"Yes, My Lord"
"My Lord" Elsa said, grabbing Mesogog's attention, "May I present a creature as strong as cast iron. The mighty Angor!"
"Excellent" Mesogog said, looking pleased at his new creation.
"I'm ready, Master" Angor said.
"Good, good, accompany Zeltrax and destroy those two Power Rangers."
------------------
Tommy and Ethan were driving down a road on the way to the underground lab in Tommy's Black Jeep.
"Um, Dr. O, do you think Kira is alright?" Ethan asked, obviously worried for his friend.
"Hopefully she is, Ethan, we'll find her and then that White Ranger will get what's coming to him!" Tommy said, startling Ethan.
"What a minute! What happened to the 'let try to help him, cause we owe it him' crap?" Ethan said.
"The White Ranger has gone to far, Ethan. Kira is now in serious danger, and by kidnapping her, he has just upped the stakes and put her and ultimately the whole city in danger"
"How the whole..." Ethan said, cutting off his own train of thought, "...Right, cause without Kira we can't form the Megazord. Man, am I gonna kick Conner's ass for this!"
"Ethan, it's not Conner's fault, mostly"
"Conner allowed Kira out of his site, the idea we went in pairs is to cover each others back, right" Tommy nodded, keeping his eyes on the road, "Well then it's Conner fault!"
"Ethan, you made some valid points, but you can blame Conner all you want later, right now we have to get this egg back to lab and find..." Tommy said, only to be cut off by an explosion that hit road as the jeep travelled along, "...What that hell?!"
"Tommy! Look out!" Ethan shouted; pointing towards the middle of the road, to see a monster with a head the shape of anchor standing next to Zeltrax, Zeltrax was levelling his weapon for another shot.
"HOLD ON!" Tommy shouted, and as he applied the breaks, a blast from Zeltrax stuck the front of the jeep, causing a large explosion, mangling the front end of the car and sending flipping over.
------------------
Conner was making a coffee for the red-headed computer genius when he heard a high-pitched scream from the basement. Conner surmised that Hayley being the only women in the house, that the scream came from her.
"HAYLEY!" Conner shouted, and he bolted from the kitchen, knocking the coffee pot over the work surface and kitchen floor. Conner entered the basement and ran straight for the main computer console, where Hayley sat, "What's wrong?"
"Tommy and Ethan. I was monitoring their journey home as well as searching for Kira, when Zeltrax and Anchor-head here attacked the jeep and they destroyed the front end, sending it flipping over. Ethan and Tommy are trapped inside and the gruesome two-some are advancing on them" Hayley said, in a panic.
"They must be after that dam egg" Conner said.
"Go help them, now! I think petrol is leaking form the gas tank, they don't have much time" Hayley said, gaining some of her composure.
"Right!" Conner said, summoning his Dino Morpher, "DINO THUNDER, POWER UP, HA!" Conner shouted, pressing the yellow button, activating the device and in a red glow, he morphed into the Red Dino Thunder Ranger. Conner hit the controls to the vehicle bay, which opened, and his Raptor Cycle came out of the bay. Conner jumped on it, just as Hayley opened the portal containment doors, and Conner entered the portal.
"Good Luck, Conner" Hayley said, after he left.
------------------
"Well, well, well, Black Ranger, how fortune has rewarded me!" Zeltrax said, approaching the destroyed Jeep, still with Tommy and Ethan still trapped inside, "Soon I will have my revenge! Angor, retrieve the egg, it should be in a case in the back"
"Yeah!" Angor said, moving around the back.
"Any last words, Black Ranger, before I destroy you!"
"Yeah, go to hell!" Tommy shouted, trying to struggle with his seatbelt. Ethan doing the same.
"Doc?" Ethan said quietly.
"Yeah, Ethan"
"I don't want to worry you, but I smell gas"
"I know"
"Prepare to be destroyed, Tommy!" Zeltrax said, venomously, as Angor joined him holding a case, obviously containing the dino egg. Zeltrax pointed his weapon at the jeep and begun to charge it, when a red energy blast hit him in the hand, causing him to drop his sword, "What?!"
Zeltrax and Angor turned to see the Red Ranger riding on his Raptor Cycle. Angor fired an energy blast at Conner, which missed when Conner swerved. Conner pulled the throttle down the Raptor Cycle accelerated. Angor and Zeltrax repeatedly fired energy blasts at an accelerating Red Ranger, and suddenly Conner leaped off his cycle and it ran straight into Angor, knocking him back several feet, along with the cycle and forcing him to drop the case.
"Tyranno Staff!" Conner shouted, summoning his power weapon and he charged straight for Zeltrax. Zeltrax picked up his sword and swung it at the Red Ranger, Conner ducked and struck Zeltrax several times in the chest and then Conner fired a blast from the mouth on the end which sent Zeltrax flying back. Conner then noticed Angor getting up from the head-on collision with his Raptor Cycle. Conner took his Thundermax Saber out of its holster and aimed it at the reactor in his Raptor Cycle and fired several times. The blasts hit the reactor and breached the core, creating a massive explosion which entombed the Anchor-headed monster. Conner then spotted Ethan and Tommy climbing out of the wreckage of the black jeep.
As soon as they cleared the jeep, a spark caused the over-turned vehicle to explode, sending Tommy and Ethan to the ground, "Tommy! Ethan!" Conner shouted and ran over to check on them, they had various cuts and bruises, but seamed none worse for ware, "Are you guys alright?"
"I'm fine. Ethan?" Tommy asked.
"Ditto" Ethan said.
"Where's Dumb and Dumber?" Tommy asked.
"Anchor-head is proberly barbequing right now" Conner said pointing to the wreckage that was his Raptor Cycle.
"Man, Hayley is gonna kill you!" Ethan said.
"Proberly. And Zeltrax is..." Conner said, but he was cut off by the cyborg general.
"Is right here, Red Ranger!" Zeltrax said.
"Does he ever give up?" Ethan asked.
"Nope. Ready?" Tommy asked the Blue Ranger, summoning his Brachio Morpher and taking his key out of his pocket.
"Ready!" Ethan said, summoning his morpher also.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP, HA!" Ethan shouted, and he morphed into the Blue Ranger.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP!" Tommy shouted, morphing into the Black Ranger.
"I am going to destroy you, Power Rangers, once and for all!" Zeltrax shouted.
"Leave now Zeltrax, before you make the mistake of really pissing me off!" Tommy said; the venom evident in his voice. Zeltrax prepared to attack when he saw the silver case containing the dino egg, and determining that he was out numbered by three very angry Rangers, he decided to go for the case. Ethan and Conner whipped out their Thundermax Sabers and fired several blue and red blasts right at the cyborg.
"Not so fast, Zeltrax" Conner shouted, just as Tommy unhooked his Brachio Staff.
"Brachio Staff, Energy Orb!" Tommy shouted, swing his staff in a circle around him and then he fired it at a stumbling Zeltrax, causing a small explosion of sparks to cover the cyborg, "Leave. Now!" Tommy said, aiming his staff. Zeltrax, for once took the hint and was joined by a smoking Angor and they both left through an invisi-portal. The sound of sirens filled the air seconds later.
"Guys, I think we should demorph, quickly" Tommy suggested.
"Right" Conner and Ethan said together.
"Power Down!" The three Rangers said together and they were covered in a glow of their respective colors, as their armor disappeared, two Fire Engines, a police car and an ambulance turned up together.
"Is everyone alright?" A police officer said running up to them with two paramedics. The Fire crews attended to the fire that consumed the jeep and the Raptor Cycle.
"Yeah, officer, we're fine" Tommy said.
"What happened here?"
"A monster attacked us, destroyed our ride" Ethan said.
"A monster attack, right, where were the Power Rangers?" the officer asked.
"The Red Ranger stopped by and drove the monsters away, and helped us out of the jeep" Tommy said "But he said he couldn't stay"
"Okay" the officer wrote it down, "Could I take your names?"
"Dr. Tommy Oliver, I teach at the high school" Tommy said.
"Conner McKnight" Conner said.
"Ethan James" Ethan said.
"Alright, I'll contact you all later, you're obviously shaken up, so I'll take your statements later" the officer said, "Just let the paramedics check you over and you can leave"
"We're fine, really" Tommy said.
"Do you need a lift anywhere?"
"1774 Valencia Drive, that's where I live"
"No problem"
------------------
About twenty minutes later, a police car pulled up into the drive of Dr. Oliver house and Tommy smiled when he saw Hayley waiting outside.
"Here we go. Do you two need a lift home?" the officer addressed Conner and Ethan.
"No thanks, here's fine, we can call out parents from here" Conner said.
"Okay, take care"
"Thank you" Tommy said, and shook the hand of the police officer and the three Rangers got out of the car. As they walked to the front door, Hayley grabbed Tommy in a hug.
"I was so scared" Hayley whispered, "I thought you and Ethan were..."
"We're fine, Hayley, apart from a few cuts and bruises" Tommy said, loosening the hug, "but we have more important things to do"
"Yeah, like finding Kira" Conner said.
"Then lets get to it" says Tommy and the group went into the house to find their missing Ranger.
------------------
"Wakey, Wakey!"
"What?!" Kira said, as she awoke, her head throbbing.
"Hey, Wake up!"
"Where...am...I?" Kira asked.
"Another warehouse, where you're friends can't find us" Kira opened her eyes, only to be blinded by a bright white light and then her vision cleared and then Kira gasped.
"You?!" Kira said, seeing the White Ranger standing near her and she tried to move only to find her hands and legs bound to a chair with rope, "Let me go"
"I can't do that"
"Why not?"
"Cause I don't want to, you intrigue me"
"What...are you....gonna do with me?" Kira asked, becoming scared.
"Anything I want!" the White Ranger said, laughing. Kira's eyes widened realising an implied intention and tears begun to mist her vision as she her fear rose, she was defenceless against a person capable of anything, of doing what he wanted to her and she could do nothing about it, the White Ranger picked up on this "Hey, I'm not gonna hurt you, unless you give me reason too and besides I don't do rape, I wouldn't disrespect anyone that way, whither they were my enemy or not, I do have some sense of honor you know! So you've got nothing to worry about on that account" This did not alleviate Kira's worry however.
"Please, let me go" Kira asked, the fear in her voice still evident.
"No"
"Please"
"I can't. You're my bargaining chip, at least till this beauty has hatched" The White Ranger said.
"What's inside it?"
"The Drago Zord, I think. I feel a connection with it, between the gem and the intelligence in the egg"
"Look, please, if you let me go, I promise I won't tell anyone where you are" Kira asked, pleading.
"I can't. Please stop asking me"
"Just let me go, please" Kira asked again, tears were falling now.
"Stop it"
"Please, I won't tell anyone. My family will begin to worry..."
"Stop it!"
"...Please, just let me go..."
"Stop. It!"
"...please!"
"SHUT UP! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!" White Ranger shouted, grabbing Kira hard by the upper arms. Kira stopped talking, and she hung her head and begun to sob to herself, "Please, don't make me do that again. I don't want to hurt you" When White Ranger let go of her arms, the skin started to bruise and was already starting to go yellowish in color around areas White Ranger grabbed her.
"To late!" Kira said quietly, through her tears.
"What?"
"It's to late. You've already hurt me, by kidnapping me, just now, and you'll continue to hurt me for as long as you keep me here against my will" Kira said in the same low voice as before, not looking up at her captor.
"I'm...I'm sorry" the White Ranger says, his voice changing slightly, enough for Kira to notice, recognising the voice, she looks up, and then White Ranger realised his mistake, as seams Michael is starting to come through.
"Mi...Mic...Michael?!!" Kira says. The White Ranger leans closer and he demorphs, glowing a soft white light and the White Ranger armor disappeared, to the figure of Michael Scott, Kira gasped. Michael grabbed Kira by the chin with his right hand and leaned in close to her, as if to kiss her, but he stopped short.
"There is no more Michael, only White Ranger! Remember that!" He whispered to her, calmly, and he let go and went to his Dino Egg.
Kira begun to cry again, softly, as not to anger her captor, but she was not just upset for her predicament, but for Michael's as well. She was worried for the guy she'd fallen in love with, the guy who was also her enemy.
