Authors' note: A quick update. We know this is a really short chapter, but it is a good one. TM: I love torturing them like this. TIC: Mwhahahaha! You only hurt the ones you love. TM: Hush you! Anyway, on with the chapter.
Correction update: TM: Corrected a paragraph. We meant to say something else. It doesn't affect the storyline, but I bothered me that it wasn't right the first time.

Chapter 3: Guilt
The female winged dino gave a loud scream that sent sonic pulses toward Tommy. Tommy dodged it and the tree behind him exploded. Tommy knew that couldn't keep going much longer. Soon the dinos would overwhelm him.
"Having a tough time, Oliver?" Mesogog taunted. "I have some interesting friends, don't I?" The spiked dino then charged at Tommy.
"No!" Tommy said.
"IYAAA!" a person yelled and a red streak and a blue streak came out of nowhere and hit the dino. Tommy was surprised to see who the red streak and blue streak were.
"You okay, rookie?" the red one said.
"I'm not a…" Tommy said in an annoyed tone.
"More Rangers!" Mesogog yelled in surprise. "No matter. GET THEM!" The female dino let out another scream.
"Look out!" Billy said as he pushed Jason and Tommy away. The attack missed, but destroyed more trees behind them. Jason ran up and grabbed the hands of the spiked dino and pushed him back as hard as he could. Billy took out his Power Lance out and swung at the female dino that was swooping down to try and hit him. Billy connected and the dino fell to the ground. Jason pushed the dino away and started to kick and punch him. The dino swatted at Jason and hit him sending him into Tommy.
"You okay?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, a little rusty, but I will be okay," Jason said as he got up.
"Let me take care of this," Tommy said as he ran up to the same dino Jason was fighting. Tommy jumped and flipped behind him and kicked him on the way over. Tommy then prepared for another Energy Orb and fired it into the back. The dino fell forward and Jason gave him a kick to the face and went flying backwards. Tommy jumped out of the way. Billy came up.
"Are you okay?" Billy asked Tommy.
"Yeah," he answered.
"Where is your team, newbie?" Jason asked. "You never go fighting alone."
"JASON! Don't call me a…" Tommy yelled angrily.
"DUCK!" Jason said as he grabbed Tommy's helmet and dragged him to the ground. The female dino flew over them after a failed attempt at hitting them.
"Jeez, that one is fast!" Billy said as he readied his lance to defend himself. The two dinos came charging towards the Rangers. Tommy got up, turned the dial on his staff to the yellow icon and slammed his staff into the ground.
"Wind Strike!" Tommy said and the wind picked up and slammed at the two dinos. The attack wasn't hurting them, but it was pushing them back. Tommy stopped the attack and then turned the dial to the blue icon. "AHH!" Tommy slammed the staff again into the ground initiating the Water Strike. The wave came up from behind Jason, Billy and Tommy as Tommy turned the dial on his staff to the green one. Billy and Jason saw the shadow of the huge wave. The dinos were scared of it. Mesogog saw this and went into the invisa-portal to keep from getting hit by the attack.
"HOLY SHIT!" Jason yelled.
"Earthquake! Strike now!" Tommy yelled and created a huge crack in the ground. "Hurry, get in!" The three Rangers got into the huge crack and the water attack hit the dinos with full force. The water that came into the crack splashed onto the Rangers but it sent the dinos back. When the water stopped, the Ranger got out of the crack and saw the two dinos lying on the ground near the portal. Mesogog came out of the portal.
"Enough!" Mesogog yelled. "Go back my pets!" The two dinos got up and into the invisa-portal and then the Rangers saw the other two dinos come flying by and into the portal.
"There are more of them?" Jason said.
"If you ever want to see your students alive, good doctor, then you will come with me," Mesogog said.
"What! Never!" Tommy said sternly.
"I think that you will when you see this," Mesogog said as he took something out from his coat and showed it to Tommy. Trent's sketchbook.
"No," Tommy said under his breath. Mesogog tossed Tommy the sketchbook. Tommy caught it. His hands were shaking in fear and anguish.
"If you don't, then how will you explain this to their parents and their families? How will they take it? And their friends? They will come after you for making them Rangers in the first place! You are the one that asked them to be Rangers! You couldn't do it yourself!"
"Don't listen to him!" Billy said to Tommy. "He is just trying to get to you."
"And imagine what would happen if I or any other enemy came attacking Reefside. Imagine the impact it would have on the world as well. The decision is yours, doctor. Come with me and right your wrongs or make the world suffer," Tommy was shaking. He knew that he held his former student's lives in his hands. He dropped to his knees and he dropped the sketchbook. The book opened to reveal a note from Trent.
Dr.O!
Save us please! He is planning on draining our dino gems!
Don't let him kill us please!
"You win," Tommy said in a defeated tone. "I will come with you."
"Don't!" Jason said. "If you go with him…"
"I AM GOING!" Tommy yelled sternly to Jason. "I am all yours, Mesogog."
"Goooooood!" Mesogog said satisfyingly. Tommy walked slowly towards Mesogog.
"If you go with him, he will kill you!" Billy said. At that moment, the ZEOs, Cassidy and Devin were running up.
"Jason! Billy!" Rocky yelled.
"Guys! Stop the Black Ranger!" Billy said.
"He is going to give himself up!" Jason yelled.
"What?" the other Rangers yelled.
"No Tommy!" Hayley yelled helplessly at the monitor.
"Don't go!" Elsa yelled. At that point, Tommy had reached Mesogog at the entrance to the invisa-portal.
"Cassidy! Devin! Give up being Rangers. I don't want your families to worry about you. Goodbye Rangers," Tommy said as he and Mesogog turned and went into the portal. After they were through, it closed behind them.
"NO!" Katherine yelled.
"Damn it!" Adam said.
"We tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen to us," Jason said. "Damn n00b! Never listens to you."
"Jason!" Tanya yelled angrily at him. "THAT was TOMMY!"
"WHAT?" Billy and Jason yelled in astonishment.
"Yeah!" Rocky said.
"God damn it, Tommy!" Jason said. "You always do this!"
"Poor Dr. Oliver," Devin said. "What did he mean 'give up your powers'?"
"He is blaming himself for making you Rangers," Billy said. "It is up for you to decide if you want the power or not. Not him."
"We need to get back," Adam said. "We have to find a way to save the DinoThunder Rangers. We don't have much time."
"Let's go!" Rocky said and the other Rangers followed Rocky.
"Good God," Jason said sarcastically.
"What?" Billy asked.
"Tommy has another suit and color," Jason said. "Like he needed any more."
At Mesogog's Island Fortress, Tommy walked into the lab with Mesogog right behind him. Tommy then turned to Mesogog with his Brachio Staff out of its holster and ready to attack.
"Where are my students, you sick son of a bitch?" Tommy said.
"In order to see them, Dr. Oliver, you must give up your Dino Gem to me," Mesogog said.
"What? No way!" At that moment the dinos that the Rangers were fighting earlier came up from behind Tommy and grabbed him to keep him from moving. Tommy dropped his staff on the floor.
"I don't think that you really want to do that, Tommy," Mesogog said as he came up to him. "I will give your Ranger students the most horrible death imaginable if you don't give me your gem." Tommy thought what Mesogog had said earlier.
"Let me get to my morpher and I will," Tommy said seriously. The dinos let him go and Tommy took his morpher key, stuck it into the morpher and turned it. The morpher opened up to reveal his glowing dino gem. He gave it to Mesogog and his suit demorphed to reveal eyes of hate aimed directly at Mesogog. The staff that was on the floor disappeared into thin air. "Now! Let me see my students!"
"You already have," Mesogog said as he gave the dinos a signal. The tyrannosaurus and the spiked one grabbed him and began to drag him to Mesogog's chair that Tommy had been in more than once. They strapped him into the chair and Tommy struggled to get free. Mesogog bent down into Tommy's face. "These dinos are your students."
"What?" Tommy said with a shocked look on his face. "No!"
"They refused to give me their gems. So, I shot them with what energy was left in the weapon I was going to use to make the world into dinos like myself and they became these magnificent specimens of beauty."
"You sick evil bastard!" Tommy yelled in outrage.
"Sir," the female dino said. "The preparations for the ray are all set, master."
"Kira," Tommy said in a defeated tone as he had tears welling up in his eyes. "No. What did he do to you all?"
"Aw!" Mesogog said. "Exxxxceelllent, my fine slave! Soon, I will get what I want. Now, to leave you to ponder what your fate might be."
Mesogog laughed as he and the transformed DinoThunder Rangers left the room. Tommy lay back in the chair helpless. He knew things were bad. Tommy looked over at where he could see a clear rock with an orange stone in the middle of it.
"Another dino gem?" Tommy said surprised. "So that is why he needs my gem. It is incased in solid diamond. No wonder he needs our powers."
