Chapter 5
LightSpeed
The group was currently watching Tommy, who was busy talking on the phone to the leader of LightSpeed, as they all ate sandwiches. "Bridge, do you know what you're doing?" asked Sky after he swallowed the last piece of his sandwich.
Bridge thought for a moment, then said, "Yeah. The LightSpeed Rangers have Earth-based morphers, and that could help me... if I can figure out how they did it." And before anyone knew it, Bridge happily dug into his second sandwich.
Wes looked at him. "So if you figure out how to work the LightSpeed morhers, you can fix the Wind morphers as well?" Bridge nodded, and Wes took a deep breath. "Okay, but I think this is all strange. What do you think, Eric?" Wes looked at his best friend.
Apparently, Eric wasn't even paying attention to the talk the three of them were having, too busy staring at an unsuspecting Syd. "Eric!" Wes loudly exclaimed.
Eric finally snapped out of his reverie to look at Wes. "Huh? What is that you want?"
Wes looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You were looking at Syd over there, weren't you?" He laughed at the shade of red that Eric's face turned into. "You think she's hot, don't you?" he asked with a big grin on his face.
Eric gave a small laugh. "A little."
"Then go over there and talk to her."
Eric shook his head. "I can't. She-- Well, I, um-- I--"
Wes stood up and grabbed his friend's elbow to pull him up, effectively interrupting this new babbling language he'd apparently taken up. "Go talk to her," he ordered. Eric shook his head, so Wes grabbed his arm to drag him toward Syd.
"No! I can't! You can't make me!" protested Eric.
Wes laughed. "Yes, you can. And yes, you will."
Before Eric could argue any further, he was shoved toward the Pink SPD Ranger, who suddenly looked up. "Oh, hi. How are you?" she asked sweetly.
"I'm doing good. How 'bout you?" he responded in a high-pitched voice.
Syd smiled. "Oh, how cute. You're shy." Eric turned an even darker shade of red. "Want to go for a walk in the woods?" she asked as she stood up.
Eric looked to Wes, silently asking for advice. Wes slowly nodded his head. "Alright. Let's go," said Eric.
Syd took his hand and together they walked out the side door with Eric mouthing the words 'help me.' Wes just laughed and walked back to his chair. Tommy then hung up the phone and walked toward the group, noticing that Sky and Bridge had joined in on the laughter.
"I got hold of LightSpeed. They said they'll be here by tomorrow," he informed, gently wiping his forehead.
Bridge looked up. "Cool. Thanks."
Tommy nodded his head and looked around the room. "Where are Syd and Eric?"
"They went for a walk... alone." Tommy laughed a little.
Wes then stood up and walked to the door. "About time he found someone."
"Where are you going?" asked Sky.
Wes turned to look at him. "I'm going to go for a ride into town to have a look around." With that said, he walked out the door and closed it.
Jason went over to Tommy and softly placed a hand on his shoulder. "We should find some place to talk, Tommy. Alone," he said into Tommy's ear, who instantly got the hint. He grabbed Jason's belt and pulled him toward his bedroom. The sound of the door being closed quickly briefly filled the room.
Bridge then looked at Sky with lust in his eyes, so Sky quickly swallowed the last of his sandwich. "Here we are alone," said Sky, wrapping his arms around Bridge.
"Yep. All alone," he replied, wrapping his arms around Sky as well. They looked at each other for a few more moments before they began to make out.

In the woods, Syd was holding Eric's hand. "Are you having a good time?" she asked. Eric nodded, which made Syd smile. "I'm having a good time with you, too."
"You're a great person, Syd," he said, and before losing his nerve, leaned in and kissed her. Syd blushed and returned the kiss.
"You're a great person, too, Eric. Did you know that?"
Eric wrapped his arms around Syd. "Now I do," he said, then leaned in once again to kissed her.

The next day...
All seven were eating breakfast after a fun-filled night, when there was a knock at the door, so Tommy got up to answer it. Moments later, Tommy walked back toward them, followed by LightSpeed Rescue Rangers Carter, Chad, Joel, Kelsey, Dana, and Ryan.
The group all stopped what they were doing and stood before the others. "Everyone, these are the LightSpeed Rescue Rangers." The LightSpeed Rangers gave a salute.
"Hi, and welcome. My name is Bridge, and there are Syd, Sky, Jason, Eric, and Wes." They all nodded.
"We're told that you need our help in repairing some morphers..." Carter said, stepping forward.
Bridge startled and wiped eggs off his chin. "Will you guys follow me to the lab so we can get started?" he asked, leading the way. The LightSpeed Rangers followed him. "Tommy?!" he yelled from the lab door.
"What?"
"Call the Ninja Storm Rangers. If I'm right, this should get done today."
"Okay," Tommy replied, and went to the phone.

Downtown Reefside...
Connor, Kira, Ethan, and Trent were walking to the Cyber Cafe while talking about the SPD Rangers staying at Dr. O's house, when Lothor suddenly appeared. All four of them went into a fighting stance.
"Hello, Dino Rangers. How are you on this lovely day?" Lothor asked sweetly.
"We were doing fine, until you appeared," Trent answered.
"Enough of this talk. Let's kick this guy's ass," said Connor. A moment later, they all activated their bracelets to get their Dino morphers. "You guys ready!"
"Ready!" the other Rangers replied. "Dino Thunder Power up!"
"White Dragon Dino Power!"
And in a flash of light, they all became the Dino Rangers.
Lothor laughed as he pulled out a vile. "Mesogog gave me this and said it would help me destroy you." With that said, he drank it in one gulp. Within seconds, Lothor was screaming in pain. The Dino Rangers watched in horror as Lothor slowly turned into a Dino-humaniod. His skin turned green, his fingers turned to claws, and his eyes became yellow.
"What the heck just happened?" asked Kira, backing away with the others.
"I don't know. Let's just pray we can beat this thing," said the Blue Ranger.
Dino-Lothor spoke. "Prepare to die, Dino Rangers."
"Super Dino mode!" they all exclaimed at once, then became Super Dino Rangers.
"Lets kick this guy's ass," said the Red Ranger. Then the three of them charged at the Dino Lothor.
