An uncomfortable silence settled upon the rangers, and it wasn't exactly sitting well with the Sensai's. Tommy just bore holes into his cousin and fiancée's souls. Both of them just stared back, edging on glare. Conner and others watched bewilderedly, wondering why he was so angry they were rangers.

"You know the use of those powers is forbidden, correct?" Tommy said, breaking the long silence. Kojin and Sierra simply nodded, hiding the grins. "Why did you use them if you knew it?"

"We're sick of being on the sidelines, Tommy." Sierra answered, fingering the morpher on her left wrist. "You kept us on the sidelines when Mesogog attacked and forbade us to help the Ninja Storm rangers."

"And I told you why those can't be used, correct?" Tommy questioned, ignoring the answer.

They sighed and nodded.

"Because the Power Coin is the bases of evil and the Dino Morpher is its sister. Yes Tommy, we understand that." Kojin growled, peering down at the coin. It burned a deep blackish-red to him.

"Bases of evil?" Conner asked, looking up at Tommy.

It was Kojin who answered. "The coin has a design flaw. When in continual usage or prolonged exposure to the coin, it has the tendency of bringing out the evil within a person."

Sierra nodded. "Same goes for this Dino Thunder Morpher. It's pretty much an exact duplicate of Trent's with the coding of the Black Dragon coin."

"Duplicate? I though Trents was one of a kind?" Kira asked, glancing between the lovers.

"No, not quite. Technically, it's supposed to be the only Dino Crystal around." She answered, glancing at the black crystal.

"Dino crystal?" Trent spoke, looking at his own morpher.

"Yeah, you see the legend goes that there are three Dino Gems and three Dino Crystals. Conner, Ethan and Kira have the Dino Gems while you and I, Trent have the Dino Crystals. It's apparent there is more Gems out there due to the recent discovery of the Black Dino Gem and the Pink Dino Gem."

"The Pink Dino Gem was destroyed, Sierra." Tommy interjected forcefully. Kira cowered back a bit, seeing the fire burning in her Mentor's eyes. "You know that."

Sierra just grinned and looked away. "So it was."

"Or was it?" Kojin added, tilted his head. "All you seen was the gem shatter…your Dino Gem shattered but pieced itself back together again through your own power. That means, the power the Pink Dino Gem holds could have pieced itself back together."

"Possible, however unlikely." Tommy scowled and raised his head. "I said it once and I'll say it again: I absolutely, under any circumstances, forbade you to morph. Even if we are on the verge of destruction."

They scoffed. "Forget it, Tommy, we have no intentions of giving up our Ranger status." Kojin spoke fiddling with the coin. "Even if it does make us evil."

"You have no say over what goes on with the Morphers." Tommy said stiffly and held out his hand. "Give me the morphers, guys. I should have done this when you two went evil the first time."

The Lovers exchanged glances and shook their heads. "I'm afraid I can't do that." Sierra answered and wrapped the morpher around her wrist. "It's our responsibility and it will always remain our responsibility."

Kojin placed the morpher into its holder and nodded strongly. "Tommy, we've been dealing with these since the beginning of High School. We know how to control the morphers now."

Tommy just burned holes into their souls, glaring threateningly at them. "Really now?" Tommy growled, thrusting his hand out just in a tiny bit further. "Give them to me."

Again, Kojin and Sierra shook their heads and stood up. "No Tommy." They stood there grounds, returning the glare. "You can not have them."

Conner looked at the others and shrugged. "Whatever, I'm going to the mall." He said and made cautious steps back.

Ethan, Trent and Kira took the cue and began to slowly walk away as well. "Ah, yeah, sure." Kira said and waved. "Bye guys!"

Kojin locked eyes with Tommy as he walked past him. Sierra did the same, just grinning and shrugged. "Wait up guys, we're coming with!" She shouted and ran after them.

Tommy sighed and just stood there in defeat. "Ah the hell with it…" He groaned and followed them out.
