Chapter 6: Atonement
"What the hell?" Mesogog said as he looked at the opposing side. There in front of the fallen ZEO zords was the Red Battlezord with its arm guns smoking. "Who the!"
"Mesogog, you will pay for what you have done!" Tommy yelled.
"Dr. Oliver! Bah! No matter what form you are in, I will destroy you and the other Rangers."
"Not on my watch!" Under the ZEO suit, Tommy concentrated on his gem and tried to call out to the Brachiozord. 'Please! Don't do this. I know you don't want to.' The DinoThunder bracelet under his ZEO suit started to glow very faintly. He knew that there wasn't much power left in the gem, but he tried. Finally, the Brachiozord roared and it's colors that had been a very sickening shade of green turned back into the brilliant gold and black it was before. "Yes!"
"Huh?" Rocky said.
"What just…?" Adam trailed off.
"NOOO!" Mesogog yelled as he saw the Brachiozord roar yet again. He knew what had happened. "Damn you Tommy! How did you do that!"
"Brachio! Contain them!" Tommy commanded. The Brachiozord blasted the zords as Tommy turned around. "Are you guys alright?"
"Yeah, we're glad to see you," Tanya said.
"You had us worried there, man," Adam said.
"Sorry guys," Tommy said. He looked back at the fight with the Dinozords. "Guys, I only bought us time. The ZEO zords won't hold up against them. They were built stronger than the ZEO zords with more advanced technology. We will lose if we keep up the battle like this."
"Hayley and the others went to go rescue you and the other DinoThunder Rangers, Tom," Rocky said.
"We need them to tame the zords," Katherine added.
"Hayley told us that you and the other Rangers were the only ones that could," Tanya said.
"ZEO Rangers, come in!" Elsa said.
"Elsa go ahead," Tommy said.
"Tommy? How did you get there?"
"Don't worry about it. What's up?"
"The other Rangers are on the way back here," Elsa said. "Hayley has given them their morphers and will be there as fast as they can."
"They better hurry," Tanya said. "That zord isn't doing too hot."
"What!" Tommy said as he turned around to look at the Brachiozord. It was being beaten heavily upon until the point that all the Megazords pushed it over. "NO!"
"Ha ha ha!" Mesogog laughed evilly. "You really thought that your zord could withstand the whole army of Bio-zords? Ha! Pathetic!" Tommy growled to himself. Tommy ran at the Dinozords punching with the Red Battlezord. He was able to make a few good punches in on them, but the Thundersaraus picked up the Red Battlezord and threw it at the other ZEO zords. The zords had taken a lot of damage from that to the point that they couldn't function now. "Now to finish you all."
Just then, a zord came running up to the Dinozords and hit the DinoThunder Megazord in the torso. The zord then backed up away from them. The zord was orange and very small compared to the other zords. It growled as it got into a defensive position.
"What the heck?" Tanya said. "A new zord?"
"It is a Troodon!" Tommy said.
"A what?" Rocky said. "Tommy, you sound like Billy now!"
"Get serious Rocky! If we don't get control of that zord, we are in big trouble."
"Why?" Adam said. He was a little worried by Tommy's tone.
"That dinosaur is the most intelligent dino ever. If Mesogog gets a hold of it, we're screwed."
The Troodonzord crouched down ready to jump. It knew that the other zords were about to strike at it. The Dino Stegazord came down at it trying to slash it but it jumped out of the way. The other zords were having a horrible time trying to hit the little orange zord. At one point, it jumped up and hit the Creteo Megazord in the head.
"Troodon! You are mine!" Mesogog said as he stood on a building nearby and held his arm that had the orange dino gem out. The Orange Dino gem glowed brightly and the Troodonzord glowed.
"NO!" the Rangers said.
"Crap!" Tommy said. Just then out of nowhere, a kick came in and it Mesogog in the back. Mesogog fell forward and into the rooftop. He turned to find the DinoThunder Rangers standing there morphed and in fighting position.
"What!" Mesogog said in surprise. "You are suppose to be…?"
"Dinosaurs?" Conner interrupted him. "Let's just say that thanks to some friends we were able to get rid of the scaly look!" Conner pointed to Anton, Jason, Billy and Hayley who were running toward the ZEO Rangers. Tanya, Rocky, Adam, Katherine and Tommy were crawling out of their zords. When Mesogog turned back to the DinoThunder Rangers they had morphed and were holding their morphers taking control of the zords. Mesogog's plan had crumbled in less than ten seconds and he was furious.
"GGGAAA! You meddlesome kids! How dare you!"
"What are you? A Scooby Doo villain?" Conner said tauntingly and then Kira elbowed him in the side. "Ow!" Mesogog growled angrily as he turned and jumped off the building and started to run towards the other Rangers. He came up and grabbed ZEO Ranger V and slammed him into his zord choking him by the neck.
"Tommy!" Jason, Katherine, and the other Rangers said.
"IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Mesogog yelled furiously at Tommy who was desperately grabbing at Mesogog's hand that had a very good grip on him. Tommy was having trouble breathing.
"Let go of him!" Katherine said as she grabbed onto the arm, but Mesogog used the other arm to knock her out of the way and on to the ground.
"NO!" Anton said as he grabbed Mesogog from behind and tried to pull him off Tommy. "I gave you life, Mesogog!"
Mesogog threw Anton off with ease. "Yes Mercer, and now I will take yours away!"
Billy and Jason ran up to Mesogog and grabbed him as well. Mesogog pushed them off of him and threw Tommy into Jason. At that moment, the DinoThunder Rangers came running up.
"Dr. O!" they said.
All the Rangers got into fighting stances and charged at Mesogog as Hayley and Anton ran out of the way. Rocky came down with his ZEO weapons and tried to take out Mesogog, but he dodged and threw Kira into him when she tried to come in and slash at him. Adam jumped up onto Jason's shoulders and down onto Mesogog with his axes with Devin following him exactly. Adam didn't hit Mesogog, but Devin did. Trent used his speed attack on Mesogog, which hit him hard and just after he finished Billy came in with his Lance and hit him with a few swipes. Katherine and Ethan took out their shields and ran up to Mesogog and pushed him back into a wall of a building and Cassidy came in and punched him in the face. Mesogog pushed the two Pink Rangers and Ethan off him, but then met three swords slashing him in the chest area. "Triassic Power!" Conner screamed before joining Jason and Tommy in trying to slash Mesogog again with a combined attack. Mesogog yelled as his erupted into sparks and fell to the ground.
"You can't win Mesogog!" Jason said.
"We are going to make sure you stay dead this time!" Tommy said.
"I don't think so!" Mesogog said as his body began to glow in different colors.
"Oh no!" Tommy said. He knew what was happening. Mesogog's body began to change into the Meso-monster again.
"Nooowwww! You're miiiiinnnee!" Meso-monster said.
Meso-monster ran up to the group of rangers.
"Oh shit!" Tommy said under his breath. Meso-monster whipped his tail around and knocked most of the Rangers down. The Rangers readied their weapons and charged in on him again. This time however they couldn't get any hits on him at all. When a Ranger would try to slash at him, Meso-monster would block it and retaliate by hitting them with a counterattack.
"We need the ZEO Cannon!" Tommy yelled. The cannon appeared in front of them and the ZEO Rangers caught it. They readied it to shoot. "Ready? AIM! FIRE!" The shot hit Meso-monster, but he caught the blast. "NO WAY!" Meso-monster sent it back into Katherine and Tanya. Their suits demorphed and they fell to the ground. The other Rangers ran over to them. Adam and Rocky jumped to attack. Meso-monster caught them by using his telekinesis attack stopping them in mid-air and causing extreme pain. Rocky and Adam yelled as they hung there. At that moment, Rocky and Adam's suits demorphed due to too much damage. Meso-monster threw them aside.
"Noo!" Jason said as he and Billy ran up to Meso-monster.
"NO! Wait!" Tommy said as he followed behind them.
Meso-monster hit them with the telekinesis as well. Jason, Billy and Tommy yelled in pain. They were dropped to the ground hard and their suits demorphed as well. They looked up to see him coming towards them.
"Yooouuuu aaaarrrreee weeeeeaaaaakk!" he said and prepared to finish of Jason, Billy and Tommy. Just then, Meso-monster's wrist began glowing orange. He looked at it confusingly. "Whhhattt!"
"What the!" Billy said as he got up and walked toward Meso-monster. Just then, the orange light came off of his arm and hovered in the air for a few seconds before it came racing towards Billy. Billy held out his arms to accept the light, but when it came to him, it knocked him down and headed toward the big group of Rangers. "Not again," Billy mumbled to himself as he looked back while the band hovered over them and then shot down to its selected owner behind the group. Hayley.
"What?" Hayley said as she examined the glowing DinoThunder Bracelet that was now on her arm.
"NO!" Mesogog said. "Daammmmnnnn youuuuu!" At that moment, the Troodonzord stopped fighting against the zords and became tame like the other zords.
"Hayley! You're a ranger now!" Conner said surprised as he grabbed her arm to examine it too.
"Another DinoThunder Ranger?" Tommy said in shock. "Good Lord! We're like an army"
"Tommy, I can't be a…."
"Yes you can," Billy said as he came up to her.
"It is the Troodon, Hayley," Tommy said. "Morph now! They need you!"
"…Right," Hayley said timidly and did the movements to morph. "DinoThunder….Power Up…Haaa!" Hayley closed her eyes in fear as she morphed. When she opened them, she had an orange Ranger suit with silver trim instead of white and she has shoulder pads like Tommy, only they were rounded off. "Wow! This is what it feels like?" Hayley stood up and pulled out a black and gold device.
"HEY wait!" Tommy said annoyingly. "That is the shield generator!" Hayley's weapon was the shield generator that Tommy had used it to trick Marty the Mackerel into hitting the Funky Fisherman to free him. The generator then turned from black and gold to orange and silver. "Awww MAN! That was mine!"
"Hayley! This is great!" Conner said as the other DinoThunder Rangers except Tommy crowded around her. "Bad news, Mesogog! We have another Ranger!" Meso-monster growled in frustration.
The seven DinoThunder Rangers stood before the mighty Mesogog, poised for battle. They each took their stances.
"Tyranno Power, Red Ranger!" Conner screamed.
"Tricera Power, Blue Ranger!" Ethan bellowed.
"Plesio Power, Green Ranger!" Devin yelled.
"Ptera Power, Yellow Ranger!" Kira cried.
"Dilopho Power, Pink Ranger!" Cassidy exclaimed.
"Drago Power, White Ranger!" Trent shouted.
"Troodon Power, Orange Ranger!" Hayley shrieked.
"DinoThunder Ranger Power, UNITE!" the whole group roared.
"Hold on guys! Don't start this party without me." Tommy said as he stood up. "DinoThunder, Power Up, HA!" Tommy then had a look of panic and shock on his face. He didn't feel what he normally felt when he would morph. As a matter of fact, he didn't feel anything at all.
"Tommy?" Jason said. He saw the look on his best friend's face and knew something was wrong.
"I can't morph," Tommy said in a defeated tone. The older Rangers grew wide-eyed while the DinoThunder Rangers looked back at him.
"Thhhhattt isss beecccauussse Iiii drrraainnneeeddd yooouuuurr pppoowwerrr, Blllacckkk Rrrannnngerr!" Meso-monster hissed. Tommy growled irritably to himself.
"Don't worry Dr. O," Trent said as the DinoThunder Rangers turned to face the Meso-monster once again.
"Yeah, we can handle him," Ethan said confidently.
"Stand back, guys," Devin said to the unmorphed Rangers and Anton Mercer.
"SUPER DINO MODE!" all of the DinoThunders yelled and they transformed into their more powerful, rage-filled forms. Hayley's spikes however where double-spiked and curved out a little. Hayley turned on the shield generator. The Rangers ran up to Meso-monster except for Hayley and tried to get any hits on him. Kira jumped up, flew upwards and then came down to strike just after Devin slashed at him. Conner twirled his staff around to create distance in between him and Meso-monster. Trent came in and used his speed with Cassidy coming in right behind him after he had finished with her crossbow. Ethan then stabbed at him with a charged shoot. Meso-monster used his telekinesis to make the ground beneath the Rangers explode.
"HAYLEY!" Tommy yelled. "What are you doing?" Hayley was shaking.
She said nervously, "Tommy! I don't know what to…"
"Do something! They need your help!" The unmorphed Rangers, Anton and Hayley looked at the fight and saw the Rangers get hit with Meso-monster's huge tail. The Rangers were groaning in pain.
"I…" She looked at her weapon and then summoned the courage to run up to Meso-monster and used her shield to push him back. To her and everyone's surprise, she was pushing Meso-monster's body back about twenty feet. She then swung her arm and he went flying back into the wall.
"Holy shit!" Rocky said in surprise and shock. Everyone's mouths dropped.
"Look out Hayley!" Anton said. Meso-monster was about to throw his massive arm down upon her, but then Conner in Triassic form blocked the attack with his shield. He threw him back into the wall and pulled Hayley behind him.
"Shield of Triumph! Sword mode!" Conner yelled, charged his sword and then slashed a huge gash into Meso-monster. Meso-monster fell up and against the wall and lay there panting and groaning in pain. The DinoThunder Rangers ran up and combined their weapons except for Hayley and Trent. "Z-Rex Blaster!"
"Z-Hunter Bow!" Cassidy said as she and Devin put their weapons together. Trent and Hayley aimed their weapons at Meso-monster as the others did.
"FIRE!" all the DinoThunder Rangers said and hit Meso-monster. A huge explosion followed and a huge cloud of smoke. The whole group rejoiced as the older Rangers ran up to them. They hugged each other and then the DinoThunder teen all tackled Tommy at once, making him almost fall over.
"We did it!" Conner yelled.
"Good job, rookie!" Jason said as he patted Conner's helmet. "Good job everyone!"
"It all worked out," Billy said.
"Yeah," Cassidy said. "We got the rest of the team back, we got our zords back AND we got to meet the first Red and Blue Ranger ever. This is such an honor. Would you mind giving an interview?"
"What!" Conner and Ethan yelled in surprise. "REALLY!"
Tommy laughed, "Yes they were the originals. They even taught me a thing or two about being a ranger. Don't maul them." Jason and Billy laughed. Just then, they heard someone shouting for them. As the person drew closer, they saw that it was Elsa.
"ELSA!" Anton said as she came up to the group.
"I was pulling up and I saw you hit him!" she said happily and hugged Conner and Ethan. She hugged Kira and Trent and then gave Tommy a two-armed hug. Katherine winced when she saw the two hugging. Tanya noticed Katherine's reaction.
"Now that we destroyed his fortress," Hayley said, "he can't come back."
"You destroyed his base!" Tommy said in a surprised tone.
"Yeah," Devin said. "Hayley placed a few bombs in the place and the island started to sink when we tried to escape."
"I didn't expect for the island to be that unstable after we attacked it before," Hayley said. "But we know now that he can't come back." Just then, a shot came out of nowhere and hit Tommy sending him flying backwards. Time seemed to stand still for a moment. Everyone's body set into shock for a moment. Once they realized what had happened, Katherine, Elsa, Anton, and Jason ran up to him first before the others did. They saw a burn mark the size of a baseball on his chest as Tommy groaned in pain. They turned around to find out where it had come from and saw their worst fear realized, Meso-monster was against the wall with his hand near his head and a vial of dark blue ooze in the other. He had use telekinesis to shoot Tommy.
"IT ISN"T OOOVVVEEERRR!" Meso-monster growled and broke the vial in his hand. The ooze began to react to Meso-monster and the energy that it was generating spread all over his body much like the affects of the Hydro-regenerator. Just then, Meso-monster's body began to expand and grow.
"Oh no!" Tommy winced under his breath. When Meso-monster reached thirty stories, he used his telekinesis and created huge explosions around the Rangers. The tiny Rangers, Elsa and Anton covered their heads as debris was flying in all directions. The morphed Rangers shielded the unmorphed ones to keep them from getting hit. Meso-monster unleashed his attack on the city itself and huge fires and explosions were appearing everywhere. Tommy yelled at the top of his lungs to the DinoThunders, "CALL THE ZORDS!"
"THHEERRREE ISSS NOOTTHHIING YOUU CANNN DOOOO, RANNGEEERRRS!" Meso-monster yelled evilly. Clearly, Tommy and the older Rangers knew that he had lost his mind.
"NOW!" Tommy yelled. The DinoThunders called their zords and ran to them as fast as they could trying to dodge all the psychic attacks that were being thrown at them. Hayley tamed the Troodonzord and jumped into it. Haley's zord combine with the Creteo Megazord and attached as guns onto the shoulders. The three Megazords got into their fighting stances. The ZEO Rangers, Elsa and Anton ran as fast as they could to try and get out of the area with Jason and Billy carrying Tommy as best as they could. Tommy stopped them however and looked back at the fight.
"Tommy! What are you..?" Jason yelled, but then stopped and looked up at the fight along with everyone else.
They could hear the DinoThunder Rangers yelling as they ran to Meso-Monster to attack. The Thundersaurus Megazord grabbed the mid-section as the other Megazords started to punch him. Meso-monster used his powers to hit all three of them off of him and back into a building shattering all the windows. Cassidy, Devin and Hayley got up and aimed carefully.
"Troodo Guns! FIRE!" the three yelled. A barrage of shots hit Meso-monster. The Rangers gasped when they found out that it didn't work. He had caught the shots in mid-air and then he sent them right back hitting all three Megazords.
Trent got up, jumped onto a building and jumped down at Mesomonster. "TAIL ATTACK!" he yelled. The Dino Stegazord tumbled as it came down on Meso-monster, but he caught the Megazord before it hit him and he tossed Trent into Conner and the others.
"Triassic Megarover!" Conner yelled and it came. Conner jumped from the Thundersaurus to the rover and then changed it into the Mezodon Megazord. "Ok, Mesogog! I have had it with you!" He pulled out the hatchets and slashed at Meso-monster. Unfortunately, he dodged it, grabbed the arms and tossed Conner and the zord into the other zords.
"NO!" Tommy yelled. His fists grew tighter as he watched helplessly as his students and friend were being beat upon. They were losing…badly. Elsa grabbed Tommy's arm.
"Tommy! We have to go!" she said as she pulled on him.
Katherine looked at her and started to tear up. She went up to Tommy and pulled on his other arm and yelled, "Tommy! Let's go! You can't do anything for them by being in the way!"
"But they…" he said as he watched in horror as Ethan and Kira's Megazord landed on the ground in front of the other ones. He looked at the ground thinking of what he could do.
"Tommy! They are fighting with everything they have!" Jason said as he came in front of him to grab him. "You can't do anything for them. There is nothing left for you here!" Tommy looked up at Jason with the most serious look on his face and Jason back away when he saw it. He knew that crossing Tommy at this point would be useless to do. "I refuse to accept that!" Tommy said, pushed Jason out of the way and ran towards the fight.
"NOOOO!" Katherine yelled as she tried to run after him, but was stopped by Adam and Billy.
"Kat! Let's go!" Billy said. "We can't do anything for them!" Katherine was hysterical as she fought against them.
"LET ME GO!"
Tommy ran to one of the nearby buildings and looked at the elevator. From what he saw, the doors were open and inside the bottom was full of rock and debris. He ran up the stairs as fast as he could to try to get to the roof.
"We are getting slaughtered here!" Conner yelled.
"What do we do?" Ethan yelled as he and Kira grabbed onto their control panels to keep from falling over.
"We need to form the Valkasaurus Megazord!" Trent yelled as he laid there on the back wall of the zord.
"The Brachiozord is down for the count," Kira said. "We need it for that!"
"Then we need to make a new formation," Hayley said. The Creteo Megazord helped the other two up.
"A new one?" Conner said. "Can we do that with this many zords?"
"Let's give it a try!" Cassidy said. "If we don't try something, we are going to be Mesogog's lunch!"
"We have to try everything we can! We need to throw everything we have at him!" Devin said.
"It's possible guys," Hayley said with confidence. The Troodon is the smartest dinosaur there is, remember? It's telling me that we can combine our own individual zords with the Stegazord to form out strongest zord yet!"
"Ok! Let's do this then!" Conner said. "Initiating zord formation!" All the zords except for the Thundersauras zord broke apart from each other and started assembling all together. The Dragozord attached like it normally did on the Thundersauras Megazord as if they were forming the Valkasaurus and then the formation moved down on top of the Dilophozord. The bottom half of the Stegazord and the T-Rex's head moved to the very front of the Devin's zord as the top half of the Stegazord broke in two and connected to the Thundersaurus's arms like cannons. The head of Devin's and the body of Cassidy's zord became shoulder cannons. The head of Cassidy's zord landed right on top of the Pretazord. Hayley's zord broke into two and became two guns and attached onto the Thundersauras's arms near the forearms. The helmet of the new formation shot out of the Dilophozord and landed on top of the Thundersaurus's head completing the formation. They had made the DinoThunder Ultrazord. All of the Rangers were in one cockpit standing at their own console.
"DINOTHUNDER ULTRAZORD, POWER UP!" they all screamed.
"WHOA!" Ethan said. "This is sweet."
"I never knew that we could do this!" Kira said.
"This is sooo cool!" Trent said.
The rangers looked around the cockpit and noticed that there was still one console with no one standing behind it. It was black. "Tommy" everyone thought to themselves.
"Okay guys," Conner shouted, "Let's do this for Dr. O!"
"Look out!" Cassidy said. Meso-monster had swung his humungous tail at them. It hit the newly formed Ultrazord, but it didn't do much damage to it.
"Whoa!" Rocky said as they stopped trying to keep Katherine back. "That is awesome!"
"WOW!" Adam and Jason said.
"GO DINOTHUNDER!" Tanya yelled.
"Wow, Anton, that is…" Elsa said.
"Unbelievable," Anton said.
"YYYOOUUUU THIIINKKK THAAATT CAANNN SSTOOPP MMEEEEEE?" Meso-monster said and used his telekinesis and hit the Ultrazord hard. The zord shook with the Rangers inside it trying to hold on for dear life.
"Guys! We need to finish it now!" Conner yelled.
"We need a good five second charge to make a big enough blast to finish him for good," Hayley said. "Conner! We need time!"
"Which is the one thing we don't have!"
At that moment, Tommy had reached the rooftop, panting and trying to catch his breath. He looked at the new formation in awe. He looked down at his bracelet, which became the morpher and he tried once more to morph. He prayed with all of his will for the suit to work. The suit did form around him, but he knew that it wasn't going to hold. He pulled the Brachio Staff out of its sheath and held it out. Just after he did that however, the suit gave up and demorphed. He was back as regular Tommy, but was surprised when he realized that he was still holding the Brachio Staff. It hadn't disappeared along with the suit.
"Guys!" Tommy yelled into his bracelet.
"Dr. O!" Conner said as they looked up at him. The building that Tommy was on was about forty stories tall and higher than the zords.
"Tommy! Stay away!" Hayley said. Meso-monster shot another psychic blast at the zords, which pushed them back and farther away from Tommy. He saw that Meso-monster was using the attack again to push them back and walk closer towards them so he could hit them. Tommy figured that the psychic blasts were giving Meso-monster the unfair advantage and knew that if the Rangers stood a chance of getting a shot at him, they had to take out the source of the psychic nervous center where he was channeling the energy; the middle of the forehead.
"Energy Orb!" Tommy yelled as he did the motions for the attack and shot it at Meso-monster. It missed and hit one of the psychic blasts that Meso-monster sent toward the DinoThunder Ultrazord. "Crap!" Tommy knew that if he was going to take out that point on his head, he needed to be closer. Dangerously close. He knew that the attacks out of suit were hurting him physically and what he was about to do would be the most insane thing imaginable.
"Charge the weapons!" Conner said.
"Weapons charging!" Cassidy said.
"WHAT IS THAT?" Devin yelled as he looked up.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Ethan yelled in shock.
"NO WAY!" Kira yelled.
"The hell is he doing!" Trent said as he watched Tommy jump off the building and on top of Meso-monster's head. Meso-monster felt Tommy land on his head and tried to grab him, but he couldn't because his arms couldn't reach. Tommy ran up to the front of the head and aimed carefully.
"ENERGY ORB!" Tommy yelled as he did the attack. A huge explosion erupted on Meso-monster's head. After a second of thick smoke and sparks flying, the Rangers and friends below and the DinoThunder Rangers could see Tommy falling head first to the ground. Meso-monster was staggering and yelling in pain. Tommy's attack had hit its mark.
"NOOOOOO!" Katherine yelled utter horror as she broke free of Billy and Adam's grip and began running as fast as she could to try to break Tommy's fall.
"Katherine!" Tanya yelled as the others ran after her. Tommy hit Meso-monster's knee on the way down. Unfortunately, Tommy landed on the sidewalk on his back.
"Weapon's charged, Conner," Trent said.
"This is for you Dr. Oliver!" Conner yelled in anger.
"FIRE!" the DinoThunder Rangers yelled and shot at Meso-monster. The shot hit and made a huge explosion and destroyed all of Meso-monster. It was finally over, but at what cost?
Katherine was horror struck when she saw Tommy. He was cut up pretty badly and was bleeding everywhere. His body laid there limp with his arms and legs thrown to one side. His face was emotionless with his eyes closed and blood coming from his mouth. She ran up and tried to hug him, refusing to accept the truth.
"DON'T!" Billy yelled as he came up. Katherine looked back at Billy with tears and confusion in her eyes. He came up to Tommy and checked his vital signs, his breathing and his pulse. Unfortunately, he couldn't find either one of them. Very somberly Billy said, "Nothing. He's gone. Damn it Tommy, you stubborn fool. Why do you always sacrifice yourself for everyone else!"
Katherine looked back at Tommy and put her head on Tommy's chest sobbing uncontrollably.
"We have to do something! I won't lose my bro! Not like this!" Jason said as he came around and put his ear to Tommy's chest. He began to do CPR on Tommy. "Katherine, I need you to give him mouth to mouth." Katherine looked down at Tommy hesitantly.
"Katherine?" Tanya said.
"Kat?" Adam said. They could see her look of pain behind the tears.
"Come on Kat!" Rocky said. "If you aren't going to do it, let someone else do it." Katherine nodded her trembling head, looked down at Tommy's lifeless body, squeezed his nose, put her mouth to his and blew into it. Katherine felt wrong doing this. She has always wanted to kiss him, but she felt like she was stealing a kiss from him even though she wasn't really kissing him. She and Jason continued to do CPR.
"Guys! Be right back!" Billy said and ran off.
As Billy ran off, the DinoThunder Rangers came running up. They were shocked at the condition of their teacher. They demorphed and ran to the other Rangers' sides. Anton and Elsa came up to Trent and the three of them hugged each other for comfort as they cried. Billy came running back with something in his hands.
"The cell charger?" Hayley asked. "Why that?"
"I thought that a jolt could start his heart up," Billy said as he took the clasps that were attached to the charger and pulled them off to expose the wires. The Rangers, Elsa and Anton backed away from Tommy as Billy got the charger ready. He put the wires over his heart. "Stand clear!" He backed up and turned on the charger. Tommy's body jumped, as it was flooded with electricity. Billy stopped the machine and then checked his heart and breathing. Nothing.
"Do it again!" Jason said.
"It needs to recharge first," Billy said as he grabbed the wires. "Two minutes." Jason and Katherine continued CPR as the others watched. They were all beginning to give up hope now. After the cells were charged, Billy tried it again. When he bent down to listen to his heart, he had a look of surprise on his face. He had found a pulse. "Guys! He's alive."
"What!" Jason said. Conner bent down beside his teacher next to Jason.
"Come on, Dr. O," Conner said as he grabbed his teacher's hand. "You can make this."
"I highly doubt it, Conner," Anton said. "He is so badly hurt. That jolt only gave him a few minutes to say goodbye."
"No.." Katherine said as she hugged Tommy's limp body. She sobbed as she laid there next to him.
"Katherine, I am so sorry," Hayley said as she put her hand on Katherine's hand that was holding onto Tommy's other hand. A few seconds later, Hayley's hand started to glow orange. The cuts on Tommy's arm began to heal. "What? The heck?"
"His arm is healing!" Elsa said.
"Hayley! I remember! When we were dinos Mesogog mentioned what the orange gem could do. Your dino power is healing!" Ethan said happily.
"Quickly Hayley! Over here!" Jason said as moved for her to get a better place to use her dino power. She knelt down, put her hands over Tommy's heart and waited for her hands to glow. They did and the Rangers watched in disbelief as Tommy's torn body began to rapidly heal. Tommy then opened his eyes as he let out a huge gasp for breath.
"Oh thank God!" Kira said as the others hugged each other. Hayley smiled as she was healing Tommy still.
"Wha…did we get him?" Tommy said weakly.
"Yeah we did," Conner said as the DinoThunder teenagers hugged Tommy. They were relieved to see that he was alright. The group went back to Tommy's house and bandaged him up. Conner and Kira brought their cars to the house after they found them. Even though Hayley had healed most of Tommy, there were still a few cuts and bruises.
"Well, he is finally gone!" Conner said.
"It has been a while since we last fought like that," Billy said.
"Yeah, I am getting too old for this," Jason said.
"Me too," Tommy said as he hugged his best friend. The Rangers laughed.
"We're just glad that you are alright, Dr. Oliver," Cassidy said.
"Yeah, what made you do that?" Devin said.
"I knew that I had to do something," Tommy said. "I knew that I couldn't get him when he was attacking like that. There was no way we could have taken out his psychic source. So, I did the stupidest thing ever and well, you know the rest."
"Yeah, it was stupid!" Rocky said. "You scared us half to death!" Tommy grinned nervously as he scratched the back of his neck. Tommy winced when he pulled one of the bruised muscles.
"You rest Tommy!" Elsa said as she grabbed his arm and pulled it down gently. Katherine smiled painfully when she saw her do that.
Just then, Conner's cell went off. Ethan gave Conner an annoyed looked. "I'll change the ring tone!" Conner said as he looked at the caller ID. His face grimaced when he saw the number. "Oh no!"
"What?" Kira asked. "Who is it?"
"My mom!" Conner said with a scared look on his face. "We went missing and I didn't call her. What am I supposed to say, 'Gee mom, sorry, but me and my friends accidentally got turned into half human-half dinosaur creatures for a few days and my fingers were too big for me to dial a phone.' Man! Is she going to be mad!" Just then, Ethan and Kira's cell phones went off too. The two looked at each other as all three answered their phones. "Hello?" You could hear Conner's, Ethan's and Kira's family members yelling at them through the phone. Katherine got up and left the room as the others listened and laughed as the three Rangers tried to make up excuses. Tanya saw this and followed her out of the room. She saw Katherine gazing out the window with a sad, far away look.
"Kat? You okay?" Tanya asked.
"Yeah," Katherine said half-heartedly. Tanya knew that something was up.
"What's wrong?"
"It's…nothing. Nothing at all."
"Katherine, are you jealous?"
"Jealous?" Katherine said as she looked up at Tanya.
"Yeah, are you?" Katherine was trying to avoid eye contact with Tanya now. "You are! I knew it!" Katherine blushed. "Of Elsa, right?"
"Yeah," Katherine said in a defeated tone. "I can tell she loves him."
"Really?" Tanya said confused. "I didn't see that at all." Just then, Elsa came into the room.
"I saw you walk out of the room," she said. "Are you okay, Katherine?"
"I…" Katherine said.
"Elsa, do you have a crush on anyone?" Tanya said bluntly.
"Tanya!" Katherine protested.
"I do!" Elsa said. "Why do you ask?"
"We weren't sure, but we thought you had feeling for Tommy." Katherine turned scarlet when Tanya said that.
"Me?" Elsa said and then chuckled a little. "To be frank, I did at one time before you came here when I was working for Mesogog, but we talked after we defeated Mesogog the first time and he told me that he had a girlfriend already."
"A girlfriend?" Katherine said as she looked up.
"Yeah, you," Elsa said. "He told me very shyly that he loves you. Wait! Is that why you have been so funny?" Katherine nodded and Elsa laughed. "Don't worry. I have my eyes on Anton. Have been for months now." Katherine hugged Elsa.
"Thank you," Katherine said with a smile.
"Girls! Conner, Ethan, Kira and Trent are leaving," Rocky said as he poked his head into the room. The girls went outside and joined the other adults as they were saying their goodbyes.
"You be careful driving!" Tommy said as he tried to steady himself. Katherine came up underneath his arm to hold him up. He smiled at her.
"We will!" Conner said. "You guys take care of Dr. O for us, won't you Cass?"
"We will," she said. "Devin and I will do our best."
"Guys! Keep in touch!" Jason said. "I want to hear how you all are doing."
"Right!" Conner said and gave a thumbs up.
"Goodbye guys!" Ethan said as he got into Trent's car and the other Rangers got into theirs.
"Bye!" the adults said. Conner and the others drove off and out of sight.
"So what now?" Billy said.
"Well, why don't we do what we were planning to do before Mesogog interfered," Jason said.
"And that is?" Billy said.
"To mooch off of Tommy for a couple of days."
"HEY!" Tommy said with an annoyed tone and the others laughed as they went into Tommy's house to have lunch.
