'White Thunder, Part 4'
Kira sat still tied to a chair by the White Ranger, revealed to her as Michael Scott, the new guy in town, the guy she was falling in love with. Kira just couldn't understand what happened to him. Was he turned evil by Mesogog, as a way to get at her, at the Rangers, and he turned on Mesogog? Or was his gem corrupted somehow, just like Hayley theorized. It seamed that being tied to a chair in an abandoned warehouse gave you a lot of time to think. Either way Kira was determined to try and help him, because the Michael Scott she knew was not the one who kidnapped her.
"Anyone hungry?!" A voice shouted as it echoed through the large space of the warehouse, it was the White Ranger, as he carried a bag of takeaway food to where Kira was, "Well? Are you?"
"I'm starving" Kira said.
"Good, cause you need to keep your strength up" Michael joked, "I'm gonna untie you now, so you can eat, okay?"
"Okay"
"I'm putting some trust in you here, so don't try and run, you know I can catch you, understand?" Michael warned, Kira just nodded. Michael begun to untie the ropes, and Kira rubbed her arms.
"Thanks. What have you got?"
"I got a huge bucket of crispy fried chicken and two diet cokes"
"Thank you"
"I'm generally surprised" Michael said, placing the chicken bucket in the middle and handed Kira a diet Coke.
"Why?"
"I would have thought that you would have bolted by now"
"Because I said I wouldn't. And I want to help you" Kira admitted.
"You want to help me? Why? I don't need nor want your help, Yellow Ranger"
"You're not you, Michael, that gem is doing something to you, we can help you, Dr. Oliver can help you" Kira said.
"Look, Kira, the Michael you know is gone, only the White Ranger remains, I don't need help, only power, and this" pointing to the egg, "Will give me power"
"Listen to yourself, the Michael I know wouldn't say that"
"Well he's gone, so I wouldn't worry"
"Yeah, I guess he is" Kira said, picking a chicken leg out of the bucket.
------------------
The remaining Rangers, still recovering from their car 'accident' and Hayley were sitting around the lab, looking at computer displays in an effort to find their Yellow Ranger. Suffice it to say, they have been less than successful.
"Hayley, any luck?" Ethan asked the red-head.
"None, where ever the White Ranger is keeping her, it's somewhere where that is shielded or deflecting my scans" Hayley said.
"Keep trying, Hayley, I'll try and boost the resolution on the scanners" Tommy said.
"Right"
"Yo, Ethan" Conner said, addressing the Blue Ranger.
"Yeah" Ethan said, walking over.
"I need to ask you something"
"What?"
"Do you, um, do you..." Conner said, but he was cut off by Ethan.
"Do I blame you for what happened to Kira?"
"Yeah"
"I did. But right now, it doesn't seem to matter. Besides I'm too worried about Kira too worry about holding anything against you. The only thing that matters now is to get Kira back safe and sound. Agreed?" Ethan said, holding his hand out.
"Agreed" Conner said, shaking the offered hand, "Um, Ethan?"
"Yeah dude"
"Thanks man"
"No problem"
"Dr. O?" Conner asked the Black Ranger.
"Yes Conner?" Dr. Oliver said.
"Can I talk to you?"
"Sure Conner, what's on your mind?"
"Alone, if that's okay?"
"Sure, come on up" Tommy gestured to the stairs, "Hayley, report on anything, regardless on how small"
"Okay, Tommy" Hayley said, as Tommy and Conner passed her on the way to the stairs.
"You hungry?" Tommy asked the Red Ranger.
"Now that I think about it. I am hungry. I guess I've been too worried to notice" Conner admitted.
"Well, you want a Peanut and Jelly sandwich?"
"You know how to make that?!" Conner asked, surprised that his teacher/team-mate ate food like that.
"Don't sound surprised, Conner. I survived on that throughout college and my intern at MIT!"
"Cool" Conner said as they entered the kitchen, "Um, Dr. O?"
"What do you want to ask me?"
"When you were a Ranger before, did you ever make mistakes that you wish you could go back in time and make right?" Conner asked, to his surprise Tommy laughed, "What?"
"All the time, Conner, all the time. Is this some kind of leadership question?"
"Yeah, I think so" Conner said, "Dr. O, I just worried about making a mistake that could cost someone their life, or several someone's their lives if I screw up. Hell, I could have already cost Kira hers..." Conner finished, holding his head in his own shame.
"Conner!" Tommy said, sympathetically, placing a hand on the young Rangers shoulder, "Conner, look at me" and Conner did so, reluctantly, "Conner, we'll get her back, I've never lost anyone before, I'm not about to start now" Tommy said with a confidence earned throughout several years of leading several Ranger teams, "And Conner, every Ranger, whither they are in command or not, has to face the possibility of screwing up at one time or another, it's a part of life, unfortunately"
"Yeah, but you are the leader of this team, but out there I'm the field commander, Ethan's and Kira's lives are in my hands everytime we go and fight whatever crap Mesogog throws at us"
"Conner, that is partly true"
"What do you mean?"
"Rangering has changed significantly since I was first doing it. When me, Jason and the others first did it, when Zordon recruited the other five, and I joined some months later, we were working off a rule book written ten thousand years before we were born, and most of those rules didn't fit into the world we lived in and still don't" Tommy said, "So we had to amend the rules and basically written our own. And one important rule we'd written is that no single member of the team has to face their demons, fears or mistakes alone, and no one carried the weight of the team on their shoulders alone. We are all here for each other, Conner. Remember there is..."
"No 'I' in team. I know that one, Dr. O"
"Good"
"But, you said Rangering has changed since you first did it, how and in what way?"
"Well, I think it was since the Astro team they each had their own, or similar rules to each other, except the Time Force Rangers, they were the most extreme, while the Wild Force and Ninja Storm teams followed rules very similar to the original teams"
"Oh, okay"
"But?"
"But, I still wish I could go back and stop this from ever happening"
"I know you do. I know you blame yourself, Conner, but we need you to be focused, I need you to be focused, and most importantly, Kira needs you to be focused on this so we can bring her back safely"
"Okay Dr. O"
"I've made sandwiches for everyone, so let go and get some work done" Tommy said, picking up a small plate of peanut and jelly sandwiches.
"Okay" Conner said and the two Rangers went in the direction of the underground lab.
------------------
Meanwhile back in the abandoned warehouse Michael and Kira were talking. They had finished the bucket of chicken and the cokes and they sat talking.
"So, Kira, what did it feel like when you bonded with your Dino Gem?" Michael asked.
"Um, I remember a glow surrounding my hand, and a warm feeling throughout my body, I think that was the gem rewriting my DNA, but it was a nice, warm feeling" Kira said, "What about you?"
"Well from what I remember or what Michael remembers but l felt the same warm glow throughout my body, but there was also, um..."
"What?"
"I felt..." Michael said and then he grabbed his head and gritted his teeth, like he reliving the experience.
"Michael?" Kira said, suddenly getting worried.
"The pain, I felt pain, just like this! AH!" Michael said, "Help, me, Kira, please!"
"I don't know how"
"Help me!"
'It must be Michael trying too come through' Kira thought, "I'll try" Kira then took Michael into a comforting hug and after around five or ten minutes, the pain that hit the White Ranger subsided.
"Thank you" Michael said.
"How are you feeling?"
"Tired" and Michael got up and grabbed a sleeping bag from an overnight bag he had with him.
"You obviously came prepared" Kira joked.
"Actually, when you were still unconscious, I had to pop home and grab a few things. I told Michael's mother that I was going to stay around a friend's house for the night"
"Oh"
Getting into the bag, "Well are you gonna get in, or what?" Michael asked.
"You want me to sleep with you?!" Kira said, unable to believe what the White Ranger was proposing.
"Well, it proberly gonna get quite cold tonight. So you can either sleep on the concrete or in here with me. Your choice!"
"Oh, alright. But don't try a thing!" Kira warned.
"As if I would! I promise to be the proper gentlemen, but you don't try anything either, like something stupid, like running, I am a light sleeper, I will notice" Michael warned also.
"I promise I won't run. I did say I would try to help you"
"You're perfectly welcome to try, but it's a waste of time, Yellow Ranger" Michael said, smiling.
"I like a challenge, White Ranger!" Kira said, returning the smile.
"Me too. Goodnight, Kira"
"Night" Kira said and the two Ranger, enemies but also strangely friends at the same time, fell asleep.
------------------
"Zeltrax!" Mesogog shouted in the main lab of his lair. Elsa was proberly asleep somewhere in her room in the fortress, and a minute later the cyborg entered the central chamber.
"Yes, My lord" Zeltrax said.
"I've detected this in a part of an old warehouse owned by that pathetic human Anton Mercer" Mesogog said, with a scowl, it was a crime that he had to depend on a human to be able to survive, cause without Mercer, Mesogog couldn't exist.
"It's another Dino Egg, my lord"
"Very observant, Zeltrax"
"Shall I secure this egg for you" Zeltrax asked.
"No, not yet. It appears that the White Ranger is or has been in the area. He could be guarding it and he is too strong for you to deal with, Zeltrax. No we will wait till sun rise, and then you, Elsa and Angor with a force of Tyrannodrones will storm that location, secure the egg and destroy anyone that gets in our way. Prepare for tomorrows assault" Mesogog ordered.
"Yes, my lord" Zeltrax said, and he left to prepare the job he had to do, and gain some revenge against the White Ranger for embarrassing him.
------------------
Kira awoke feeling extremely rested and she had a warm feeling inside her, like what she was doing was right. Although she and Michael didn't sleep together in the usual sense, as Kira was still a virgin, she didn't know the same about the White Ranger and his sexual experience and as she only shared a sleeping bag with Michael to share body heat, as it was actually cold last night, she woke up with Michael arms protectively wrapped around her, and she liked that feeling. It seamed that despite the fact that he was being influenced by the White Dino Gem, Michael's feelings for the Yellow Ranger were still open to see and that he obviously still cared for her. Kira turned her head and she saw that Michael was awake and looking at her.
"Good morning" Michael said.
"Morning" Kira said, rubbing her eyes with her free hand, "How long have you been awake?"
"Long enough" Michael said; like it was the most obvious thing in the world, "Long enough to notice how beautiful you are when you are asleep" Kira blushed at the comment.
"Thank you" Kira said, "You know, Michael, when we've sorted all this out, you and me should do this again"
"What? The Whole 'I kidnap you and you sleep out with me in an abandoned warehouse' thing!" Michael said, jokingly.
"Yes and no"
"Yes and no?"
"Well the sleeping thing anyway, my head hurt when you hit my head on the ground last time, I don't want to do that again. You fight dirty!"
"I do not!" Michael said, smiling.
"You do! Sweeping my feet out from under me and then driving my head into the ground is totally dirty. You cheated! You said you wouldn't touch me, and you attacked me, so you cheated!" Kira said, looking Michael in the eye, and to her surprise, Michael just laughed, "What?"
"Yeah, I admit it, I cheated, okay, happy?"
"Yeah" Kira said.
"And yes"
"Yes, what?"
"We should do this again, without the whole kidnapping thing!" Michael said with a smile and Kira smiled back and then a evil laughing could be heard echoing through the warehouse and the two Rangers shot up to find a huge force of Tyrannodrones, Zeltrax, Elsa and Angor blocking the only exit out of the huge building.
"Ah, isn't it cute, Zeltrax? Look at the lovely couple" Elsa said, mocking them.
"Yes, isn't it?" Zeltrax said; Kira and Michael entered their fighting stances.
"What do you want?" Michael asked.
"The egg and gem you have in your possession, give them to us now and we promise we won't hurt you, to much!" Zeltrax threatened.
"Over my dead body, Tin-head! The egg and gem are mine and no-one else's" Michael said edging closer to the egg, Kira doing the same, knowing the consequences if Mesogog gets his claws on that egg, Reefside would be in for a wild awakening.
"That, White Ranger, is the general idea!"
Michael scowled and brought his Dino Gem closer to his chest and he shouted. "WHITE RANGER POWER, HA!" and he was covered by a soft white glow as he morphed, his armor surrounding him, protecting him, encasing him. When the glow subsided, the White Ranger stood. "Kira, get behind me, I'll protect you" Kira did so, but she still kept her stance and then the Drones charged and attacked the White Ranger.
------------------
"Guys, wake up" said Hayley as she woke Conner and Ethan, who refused to go home and rest and wanted to stay and help. When they started to fall asleep, Tommy and Hayley went and got them a couple of sleeping bags and they Red and Blue Rangers slept down in the Lab. Hayley had already gotten Tommy up and was trying to wake the other two male Rangers, "Come on, wake up"
"Hayley, not right now!" Conner said, shifting in his sleeping bag.
"Yeah, Hayley, a few more minutes, please!" Ethan said.
"Guys, wake up, I'm detecting large amounts of drone activity near the warehouse district, I think Mesogog has found the White Ranger, and if it is the White Ranger, Kira might be with him, so get up!" Hayley said, and the two Rangers woke up in record time.
"Okay, we're up now" Conner said getting up and Ethan followed suit not soon after and the Red and Blue Ranger tided themselves up and quickly.
"Morning you two, sleep well?" Dr. Oliver asked as his team-mates approached.
"Not as well as you think" Conner admitted, rubbing his neck.
"What exactly have you found, Dr, O?" Ethan asked.
"This!" and Tommy typed a command onto the keyboard, as Hayley sat in the chair next to him, the six TFT video screens came to life to show a huge battle in progress, with the White Ranger fighting for his and Kira's life, as the were surrounded by Tyrannodrones and Elsa, Zeltrax and Angor stood watching. The White Ranger was hit again and went down, falling next to an unpowered Kira, who was doing her best to keep the Drones away from the white Dino Egg.
"Man that has got to be the biggest drone attack yet!" Ethan said, readying his morpher.
"We count sixty-four and those are the ones we can see!" Hayley said.
"Come on guys, we have to get over there, like yesterday!" Conner said.
"Let's go" Tommy ordered as he got out of the chairs and joined the other two Rangers, "Ready?"
"Let's do it!" Conner said.
"Ready!" Ethan answered.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP, HA!" Conner and Ethan said, morphing into the Red and Blue Rangers.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP!" Tommy said, morphing into the Black Rangers. The three Rangers ran to the vehicle bay only to find two Raptor Cycles and one armoured ATV. "Conner, take Kira's"
"Right" Conner said, sitting on the Yellow Raptor Cycle.
"Hang on, Conner, I have to change the ID transponder on Kira's cycle to allow you to ride it" Hayley said, typing very quickly on the console, "Done, good to go"
"Let's go" Tommy said.
"Wait!" Hayley shouted as the riders revved up, "Don't forget this!" and Hayley threw Kira's Dino Brace to the Red Ranger and he caught it, attaching it to his belt. Then the three Rangers rode into the portal.
------------------
'Thirty-two' Michael thought as he kicked another Tyrannodrone away.
'Thirty-three'
'Thirty-four' Michael just kept counting the amount of drones he kept knocking over, but he was becoming tired and the lactic acid was starting to set into his muscle tissue, slowing his reactions, making him sluggish, and Michael paid for it when a drone got a claw in and it hit his chest, sending sparks and the White Ranger back again, but Michael got up again and dived back into the fray, tackling another couple of drones down.
Kira was not having much luck keeping the numbers from overwhelming her either, without her Dino Gem, her Ptera Scream was not as powerful as it was now, with it she could knock Tyrannodrones back several feet, but without it, her scream just disorientated them, although this gave her a marginal advantage, the advantage didn't last for long, but Kira knew she had to keep them away from the egg, and this spurred Kira on to keep fighting, like her life depended on it, cause at the moment, her life did depend on it.
However, Kira's thoughts were split between her own survival and the life of the person she loved, she was worried about Michael, he was being knocked down every couple of minutes and he kept getting up and continued fighting. She knew by the hits he took, that he must have at least a couple of broken ribs. And she was worried, cause soon the drones would completely overwhelm him and proberly kill him in the process, but she also knew that he would keep fighting till his last breath and that scared her more, cause she knew he was fighting for her and by the way we fought, despite the fact that he is evil, he would die to protect her.
Michael took another hit and went flying back right near Kira, and she helped him up.
"Michael, are you..." Kira asked.
"I'm fine!" he said, brushing her off and assuming his fighting stance again.
"You are outnumbered, White Ranger, surrender your Dino Gem and the egg, or be destroyed!" Zeltrax threatened.
"You'll have to pray my Dino Gem from my cold, dead fingers, Zeltrax, as for the Egg, I'll destroy it before I give it to you" Michael counter-threatened, and Kira knew that he was completely serious.
"Then, White Ranger prepare to die!" Zeltrax said, "Destroy them both!" and the drones charged.
"Kira?" Michael said quietly to the Yellow Ranger as the Tyrannodrones charged.
"Yeah?"
"I lo..." Michael begun to say as a series of black, blue and yellow blasts of energy hit the pack of drones sending them scattering. Everyone turned to see the Black, Blue and Red Rangers riding and shooting. Kira was surprised to find Conner riding her Raptor Cycle, 'Why is Conner riding my cycle?' Kira thought. The Rangers shot a few more drones down and stopped near the White Ranger and Kira.
"Thought you could use some help" Ethan said, getting off his blue cycle.
"Here, you might need this" Conner said, throwing her brace to her, and Kira caught it and secured it on her wrist, she felt the familiar energy of her gem flowing through her, and a millisecond later her Dino Morpher appeared.
"Thanks!" Kira said, readying her morpher, "DINO THUNDER, POWER UP, HA!" Kira shouted and she was covered in a yellow glow and her civilian attire were replaced by the armor of the Yellow Dino Thunder Ranger, "Ptera Power!"
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but, thank you" the White Ranger said, grabbing his egg in his left arm, and removing his Drago Saber and holding it in his right hand.
"No problem" Tommy said, "Hey, White Ranger?"
"Yeah, Black?" Michael said.
"How about we do this together?" Tommy suggested, taking his Brachio Staff and readying it for combat.
"What a truce? I can do that, for now. But remember this, the egg is mine" Michael said in a scowl.
"We'll deal with the egg issue after we take out the trash, alright?" Tommy said.
"Fine!"
"So the five of you are a team now, how nice for you!" Elsa mocked, "but that won't help you Rangers, attack!" she ordered and the still fifty strong group of Tyrannodrones attacked, but the Rangers were ready and working as one cohesive unit, even with overwhelming odds the drones didn't last long against the combined power of the Rangers.
"Guess I'll have to destroy you myself" Zeltrax said, his sword-axe materializing in his hand.
"Guys, let put them together" Conner said, ordering the assembly of the Z-Rex Blaster.
"Right!" were Ethan's and Kira's responses, and the Red, Blue and Yellow Rangers assembled the Z-Rex Blaster.
"Ready!" Conner said, "Aim!" the weapon levelled at it's targets, "FIRE!" and Conner pulled the trigger, sending a blast of energy towards Zeltrax, Elsa and Angor. The ball of concentrated energy hit Zeltrax head-on sending him flying, and splash damage send Elsa flying in one direction and Angor in the other.
"Got 'em!" Ethan said, as the Z-Rex Blaster was disassembled and he held his Tricera Shield. Conner levelled his Tyranno Staff towards the White Ranger, and the truce seemingly dissolved there and then.
"Okay, White guy, fork it over!" Conner demanded, referring to the Dino Egg the White Ranger was holding.
"Not a chance, Ranger!" White Ranger said.
"Look, you're in no condition to fight us all, so give it up" Ethan said.
"You want it, come and get it!" White Ranger countered, "Although what you get might not be what you want!"
"That's it! You are so gonna get it now!" Conner shouted and he charged with Ethan following close behind. Conner's staff collided with the Drago Saber, and sparked. White Ranger deflected a blow by Ethan with his shield, and White Ranger spun kicked at the Blue Rangers' head. Ethan ducked, but he caught a laser arrow to the chest. Tommy thought this was the perfect time to join the attack and charged with his Brachio Staff in hand, and launched only what could be described as a modified version of his Zeo flying power kick at a seemingly prone White Ranger, but the White Ranger rolled out of the way and the kick connected with none other then the Red Ranger's chest, Conner went flying back into a few crates. Tommy cursed under his breath and continued his attack and was joined by a recovered Ethan. The Blue and Black Rangers drove White Ranger back a few meters but the White Ranger managed to connect a kick to the side of Ethan's head, sending him over. Kira stood watching all this and inside of her was a conflict raging deep within her, she was a Ranger, a defender of the world, a warrior of light, it was her duty to fight against the evil, which in this case was the White Ranger. But the conflict stemmed from the duty to her heart, she could not fight the person she loved, even though he was hurting her friends, something inside of her stopped her from moving. Tommy shouting at her broke her concentration.
"Hey, Kira, you joining in or what? We need you!" Tommy shouted, and then he was hit by three laser arrows in quick succession. This forced Kira to make her decision, she had to help her friends and readied her Ptera Grips; White Ranger noticed this as he turned to face her, holding his saber in a defensive manner.
"Kira?" Michael said under his helmet.
"I don't want to fight you" Kira said.
"Neither do I"
"Then please surrender the egg" Kira asked.
"You know I can't"
"Please!"
"Sorry"
"Then I guess I've got no choice" Kira said, readying her grips to attack.
"I guess not," Michael said, as he levelled his saber right at Kira's heart, "I'm sorry"
"Me too" and Kira charged. Her grips collided with the Drago Saber repeatedly, Michael deflected each and everyone of her attacks and suddenly a laser arrow struck out from the White Rangers saber and hit the Ptera Grip in Kira's right hand, she jumped as the pain stung her arm as her grip went flying. Seeing her other grip to far away to grab in time, Kira took her Thundermax Saber out of it's holster and converted from blaster to saber mode and she held it in her right hand with her remaining Ptera Grip in her left. Kira attacked again, and again Michael blocked everyone of her attacks. The White Ranger block a slash attack and the two large blades were locked together, Kira trying her best to break the deadlock, and Michael trying to prolong it.
Michael spun his saber and sent Kira's Thundermax Saber flying out of her reach. Kira was left just with her remaining Ptera Grip and she switched with from her left hand to her right hand and charged for a third time; and like a skipping record, he blocked again, not attacking but not allowing Kira to attack. It was a stalemate, between the White and Yellow Rangers. Michael faked a slash towards Kira's chest, which took her completely of guard, and Michael snap kicked her remaining grip out of her hand and into the air. As the weapon came down, Michael kicked straight towards Kira, and it missed her by inches, imbedding its self in a steel support beam. In three attacks, the White Ranger had completely disarmed the Yellow Ranger without touching her.
"Kira, I don't want to hurt you" Michael said.
"Then stop this, give me the egg, please" Kira pleaded, as the other Rangers joined her.
"Look pal, just give us the egg" Ethan said.
"No" White Ranger said as the Black Rangers morpher beeped.
"Go ahead Hayley" Tommy said.
"Tommy, I've got some bad news" Hayley said.
"Like?"
"Angor is super-sized and he's not a happy camper"
"Sounds like you have a problem, Rangers" White Ranger said, "We can say and fight or you can go and save the city"
"He has a point guys" Tommy says, "Go, Hayley will call the Zords for you. I'll deal with the White Ranger here"
"Right! Come on guys" Conner said and he ran off followed by Ethan and Conner.
"You will deal with me, fat chance, Black" White Ranger mocked, place the egg on the ground behind him and he got into his fighting stance.
"We don't need to do this" Tommy said.
"Don't we"
"Let us help you"
"I don't need nor want your help, Black Ranger"
"I know what you're going through, I went through the same thing when I was you age" Tommy admitted.
"I know about your history, Tommy" White Ranger said.
"How?"
"Mesogog's computers. Breaking in was simple, and his islands security sucks, I got by so easily, but yeah I know about your history as the Green Ranger, Rita's Green Ranger, but enough about the history lesson, Tommy!" Michael said, "White Drago Saber, Laser Arrows!" and several yellow arrows appeared around the White Ranger and shot towards the Black Ranger. Tommy tried to deflect as many bolts as he could, but several still hit him, sending him to his knees. "White Drago Saber, Energy Orb!" and Michael turned his saber and a white orb of energy formed around him and he fired it towards Tommy, and it collided head on with Tommy's chest and exploded, sending Tommy into a box of crates. The egg at the White Rangers feet begun to glow, Michael sheathed his saber and picked it up.
"It beginning to hatch! No-one will stand in my way now!" White Ranger said.
------------------
The Red, Blue and Yellow Rangers ran outside and saw Angor fired an energy beam.
"Alright Hayley, send the Zords" Conner said into his morpher.
------------------
"Brachio Zord on it way, Conner" Hayley said, typing on the computer.
------------------
"Thanks Hayley" Conner said as the Brachio Zord turned up and released the Tyranno Zord, Tricera Zord and the Ptera Zord. Each Ranger jumps into their own Zord.
"Tyranno Power!" Conner said in his cockpit.
"Tricera Power!" Ethan said.
"Ptera Power!" Kira added last.
The three Zords begun to morph into the Megazord, and the Ptera Zord clamped in last as the chestplate for the Megazord.
"Thundersaurus Megazord, Power Up!" the Rangers say together, in the Megazord control room.
"You think you got what it takes to drop the Angor?" Angor says.
The Megazord charges forward and the two behemoths exchange blows, and Tyranno Drill gets stuck in a grove on Angor's arm. "Ha, ha, I've got you angored!"
"We're trapped" Kira says, "We can't move!"
"Hang on; I've got an idea" Conner says, "Tyranno Fire Blast!"
The Megazord then fires a fireball at close range towards the monster and the hit caused the two to separate.
"Let's end this!" Ethan says, "Tricera Punch!" and the left arm of the Megazord hits the monster head on.
"Ptero-rang!" Kira says, and the Ptera Zord appears in the left arm of the Megazord and is thrown towards Angor, but the attack bounces off, and the rang returns to the Megazord.
"My Turn! Tyranno Drill!" Conner says and the right arm begins to spin fast and connects with Angor, but to no effect.
"Now I'm angory!" Angor shouts and blasts the Megazord repeatedly, the Megazord falls down.
"Man! Everything and not a scratch!" Conner says in frustration.
"Hayley, I hope you've got a few more tricks up your sleeve, cause we could really use a white rabbit right about now!" Ethan says.
------------------
"I've got one right here, it's just hatched" Hayley said, "It's the Parasaur Zord and it's on it's way"
------------------
"Para Zord, attachment formation!" the Rangers call out and the Tyranno Drill detaches and the Para Zord takes it's place, "Thundersaurus Megazord, Mega Cutter Mode!" the Rangers shout.
"You think a pair of pruning shears are gonna stop me?!" Angor says, and he readies a spear-like weapon and tries to slash the Megazord. The attack is intercepted and the clipper cuts the weapon in two, the Megazord then proceeds to slash the monster repeatedly.
"Para Zord, Final Cut!" the Ranger call out and the twin-bladed weapon charges up and begins to cut Angor all over his body and gets quicker until Angor falls over from the damage and explodes in an impressive fireball.
------------------
Meanwhile in the warehouse, the White Ranger still watches the egg hatch and in a bright white light as it engulfs the entire building and the release of energy causes the roof to cave in.
"Yes, yes!" White Ranger says.
------------------
"Guys look!" Ethan says, pointing to the warehouse, seeing a huge black, white and gold bird-like zord, and it screeches, causing the Rangers to cover their ears.
"Oh my god, it's the Drago Zord!" Kira says.
"Hey Rangers, what do you think, eh? If you're gonna wear the suit, you gotta have the zord, right?" the White Ranger said, inside the cockpit of his new zord, "What? Don't look so shocked. Now, lets see what this bird can do. Drago Zord, power up!"
"Are we ready for this?" Conner asked.
"I guess so!" Kira said.
"We have to be" Ethan added.
"Let's do this!" Michael said, "Drago Zord, show them what you can do!" The Drago Zord flaps it wings and the force of the wind knocks the Megazord over.
------------------
"Tommy, can you hear me?" Hayley's voice emits from Tommy's morpher, "Tommy, are you there?"
"Ah, man" Tommy said, grabbing his head.
"Tommy, can you hear me? Wake up!"
"Hayley?"
"Yeah, are you alright?"
"A little groggy, where's the..." Tommy said, only to look up and see the huge form of the Drago Zord through the shattered roof of the warehouse, "...Don't bother, I think I can guess what's going on" Tommy uses his staff to pick himself up and he walks outside to see the Drago Zord blast the Megazord with a yellow/gold laser beam. Then the Drago Zord takes off and flies rapidly past the Megazord and it's wings strike it, sending it over.
"Ah, man" Tommy says, seeing the carnage, and he changes the Brachio brace on his morpher into that of the Stego Zord, placing his key into the slot and turning it, Tommy calls on the Stego Zord.
"I was hoping you would do that!" Michael says and he points his Drago Saber at the Stego Zord and a white beam of energy is emitted from it and the Stego Zord begins to glow in a soft white light, "The Stego Zord is now completely under my control!" Michael leaps from the Drago Zord into the control cockpit if the Stego Zord, "let's see what it cam do, Stego Zord, Iron Tail Attack!" the Stego Zord walks up to the Megazord and strikes it with the spikes on the tail repeatedly. The Megazord falls down again due to the abuse.
"He stole the Stego Zord!" Conner says.
"And I know how to use it! Dino Stegazord transformation!" Michael shouts.
"Uh oh, not good" Tommy says.
The Drago and Stego Zord combine into the Dino Stegazord, "Dino Stegazord, Power Up!" the White Ranger shouts.
"He has his own Megazord!" Ethan says, unable to believe what was happening.
"Not bad, eh, for the new guy?" Michael says, readying the Dino Stegazord for battle.
"Why are you doing this? You're losing it" Kira says, pleading.
"No Kira, that's where you're wrong, you're losing it, to me!" Michael says, "Dino Stinger, Laser Arrow!" and the saber weapon fires a huge yellow laser-shaped arrow at the Megazord and the arrow hit the chest of the zord and the impact forces the Megazord into it's component zords, and ejecting the three Rangers to the ground below. Tommy runs up to them.
"Are you guys alright?" Tommy asks.
"Fine, but our zords are seriously tweaked!" Conner said.
Michael sees the four zords lying on the ground, and an idea enters his head, "I'll take the rest of your zords!" his saber begins to glow.
"Not gonna happen" Tommy says and he presses a button on his morpher.
"What are you doing?" Kira asks.
"Recalling the zords back to the Brachio Zord, where they'll be safe" Tommy says, as the zords return to the Brachio Zord.
"You'll pay for that! We will meet again, Power Rangers" Michael says, as the Dino Stegazord disappears.
"Come on, lets get back to the lab" Tommy ordered.
------------------
Back in the underground lab, the Rangers were thinking about the past few days events.
"Well, that was like, the worst day ever!" Conner says sarcastically.
"Conner, there is going to be a lot of day like that, I'm afraid" Tommy said.
"What happened to 'The glass half-full' mentality?" Ethan asked.
"Sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's empty. But that's when you've gotta dig deep. That's when the qualities that made you guys Power Ranger become the most important" Tommy says.
Kira is barely listening to the conversation around her. She's thinking about the last twenty-four hours and the events. And how she knows the White Rangers identity, and the tug-of-war within her, should she tell her team-mates or not. Kira knows she has only one choice.
"Kira, you okay, you're not saying much" Tommy asks the Yellow Ranger.
"No, I'm not. I've got a big problem and I don't know what to do about it" Kira admits.
"What's wrong?" Hayley asks.
"I'm going to tell you guys something, and you're not going to like it" Kira says.
"What?" Conner asks.
"I know the identity of the White Ranger" Kira stated.
"WHAT?!!" Conner says, in total surprise.
"Who? He's showed you his face?" Ethan asks.
"Yes, but you're not gonna like it"
"Go on, Kira" Tommy said.
"It's Michael. The new guy, he's the White Ranger" Kira says, hanging her head.
