Summary: The Zords get their first try out and their foe is a strong one. Can the Rangers over come this new foe or will they lose their zords once again?
A/N: I've never been good with Zord fights so forgive me if it sucks :S

Conner stared up in disbelief at the zord before him. Destroying the egg should have killed the Dino inside, right? Yeah, it would have genius unless it was ready to hatch. Suddenly in the distance he could hear the heavy rumbling and the mighty roars of certain dino's.
"I can't believe you woke me up for this."
Conner looked down at his morpher, seeing the Tyranno's eyes a blood red. "Maybe I'm losing it but did you just talk?"
"He's having a Conner moment, again."
Conner scowled at his morpher and looked up to find himself face to face with a giant Tyrannosaurus. His eyes went beady, seeing it's glowing red eyes glaring him. "I can't believe you woke me up out of a nice peaceful slumber to take on this guy." It said, glancing back at the dragon.
"Dude…it talked…" Conner stuttered, taking a step away, but just smacked his head against the wall. He cursed loudly and clutched the back of his head. Suddenly he jumped up towards its face and was sucked in rainbow-like portal. He extended his hands towards the massive sphere and grinned; oh how he had missed being in control of one of these. "Are we all ready?"
"Ready!"
Came the enthusiastic replies from his friend. One of them was Tommy, having grounded Kira from fighting. "Megazord Transformation, Assemble!"
All 3 zords lifted into the air and came together with a flash of white light. As it died away, the all too familiar Thundersaurus Megazord crashed into the ground; sword in one hand, shield in the other. The Dragonzord had completed its own transformation. Its neck had shrunk, being replaced with a more human like head. The tail had become its powerful saber while its wings folded into its back. The two zords held each other's gazes for a moment and then began to circle each other.
"Look guys, this Thundersaurus is much harder to handle then your previous one. It's much more agile and stronger then its counterpart. Plus it has it's own brain, so it'll do some of the work for you." Hayley's voice rang loud and clear through the cockpit. "Good luck you guys."
Suddenly the two zords stopped and charged forward. Thundersaurus swiped down with it's powerful blade, but clashed with the Mega Dragonzord's rising one. Quickly the blades split and they moved, striking low and then swinging high. Dazzling yellow-orange sparks sprayed off the blades with each clashing stroke. They pulled away from each other and began to circle again, eyeing their stances. Suddenly, Thundersaurus lashed out with a straight thrust that skimmed passed the Mega One's arms as it rolled away. The Dragonzord parried the blade high and came down with a powerful hook slash, sending the Thundersaurus reeling backwards.
Dragonzord raced towards its foe, lashing out with a series of saber slashes; each connecting to the chest and stomach, sending sparks flying through the air. Dragonzord whipped around and slammed it's sword hard into Thundersaurus' back, sending it crashing towards the ground. Quickly, the zord picked itself up and lashed out again. The zords clashed again in a brilliant display of swordsmanship as they danced around the warehouse. Each one kept accurate, balanced footing as they thrust, slashed or parried. Neither zord gave nor lost any ground; standing their own as they fought for control of the battle.
Suddenly, the Thundersaurus ducked an overhand swing and thrust its sword hard into the Dragonzord's gut. Rolling away, the blade curled through the metal slicing it apart. Yanking it back, with a final downward slash, the arm cleaved in half and a shower of sparks exploded from the Dragonzord.
"AH! WHAT? NO, this can't be?" Hayden hissed, shielding his face. Sparks exploded from the main control counsel as he took a step back. "YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST OF ME RANGERS, I PROMISE YOU THAT!"
The Dragonzord went rigid and collapsed to the ground, exploding in a massive fireball. "Look! There he goes!" Conner hissed, pointing towards Hayden. "AFTER HIM!"
Tommy laid a hand on his shoulder and shook his head. "You need rest Conner." He said, nodding to the Dino Gem. "We all need rest."
Conner growled at his mentor and looked down at the disabled Dragonzord. He closed his eyes and sighed; perhaps he was right…

Kimberly stood at the window, peering up into the fiery sky. Her thoughts lingered on many things; her soon-to-be husband, Conner and Kira, their child as well as hers. All of this was new to her; being an expecting mother. She didn't know how to act or what to do. Women always say go by your instincts, they serve you well. She sighed, resting a hand against her forehead. What if her instincts failed her? No, her instincts had never failed her yet and she knew they wouldn't now.
She gasped, feeling two strong arms wrap around her slightly bulging stomach and pull her close. "Ahm…you are the best thing to come home to after a long day of work." Tommy whispered in her ear, kissing gently at her neck. She gasped and giggled, feeling him nibbling at her neck. "Something I can relax to and enjoy."
She grinned and turned to face him, raising a brow. "You do realize that in 9 months, this house will have 2 more people to add to the fray?" She said, raising a brow. Tommy grinned and nodded.
"So? Doesn't matter. We'll just add on." He looked at the window. "Live I've done before."
"Done before?" She asked, raising a brow.
"Yeah, you see, before you moved in, Conner and the other's had done the same. All of them were old enough to leave and some how…some unknown way they managed to talk me into letting them move in." He scratched his head. "Trent's dad, being the gentlemen he is, helped me expand this house. So this place was never as big as you've known it to be."
Kimberly ahed and laid her head against Tommy's chest with a sigh. For the moment, they stood there, encompassed in each other's embrace, enjoying the moment together. Only God knew how much longer either of them would be able to have moments like this. Kimberly sighed again, listening to his soft, gentle heartbeat.
"Conner, stop! Where are you going?" Tommy jerked back and the two lovers looked to the door way.
"To end this." They heard in reply and the door slam shut.
Minutes Earlier:
Kira melted into Conner's warm embrace and wrapped her arms so very tightly around him. It felt so good just to be held by him again; to hear his heartbeat. She sighed, nuzzling his chest gently and cooed, feeling his fingers run through her long tan-brown hair. Then she felt him sigh and his arms tighten around her a little more.
"I'm afraid I can't rest yet." He whispered, his cheek resting gently against her head.
"What do you mean, Conner?" She asked, looking up into his crystal clear eyes. He sighed and closed them, shaking his head.
"I'm afraid I have some unfinished business with a certain Gold Ranger." He sighed and shook his head. "I can not rest until that man is defeated."
Kira looked up into his eyes, moving to persuade him, but his decision was made. "Please…don't go, Conner." She sighed, hugging him tighter. "I don't want to lose you…not again. Not like Cassidy and Devin."
He sighed, hugging her so very close. "I don't want to Kira, but I'm afraid I don't have a choice." He whispered and pulled her back. "I promise I'll be back soon." He turned away and bound up the stairs. For a moment, she just stood there in silence. The man of her dreams was probably going to commit suicide for all she knew. Suddenly she bound up the stairs after him, nearly at tears.
"Conner, where are you going?" She shouted, clasping her hands together; the worry heavy on her voice.
He stopped for a moment and looked back at her. "To end this." He slammed the door shut behind him.
And then, he was gone…
