DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING BUT THE CHARECTER I CREATED, THEUIR POWERS, AND THE PLOT, SO GET OFF MY BACK!
CHAPTER SEVEN: THE DRAGON'S DECISION
In a remote area, Dave stood on a cliff over looking the ocean, staring out across the waters. This was the last place he and sister had spoken before she died, and like the cemetary, he hadn't been back since. "What do I do? I said I was gonna go fight them, but how?" he muttered,trying to formulate a plan of attack. He knew somethings about Zedd from when Trini had fought him, but not enough to beat him. The same went for Mesogog. The black gem in his pocket suddenly began to grow hot. "Ow!" he yelled as he pulled out, and nearly dropping it into the ocean. Looking down at it, he noticed the symbols on it glowing a brilliant golden yellow. Without a second thought, Dave held it out in front of him, and yelled "Black Shadow Dragon, Power Up!" while doing the hand motions the dino thunder rangers did. With a flash of black light, he transformed into one of the most formiddable rangers yet: The Black Dragon Ranger, capable of utilizing the Grand Arcanum(the powers of darkness), and manipulating the element of lightning. . Dave looked at his suit, appearing to take an instant shine to his new appearance. He grinned. This was gonna be one hell of a fight. He just hoped he was ready.
Back at the cemetary, all the rangers had powered down, and were talking with Trini. "Back up a minute." Ian said suddenly. "What?" "You said he had already bonded with the Black Shadow Dragon stone?" Ian said, for some reason increasingly fearful. "Yes. Why, what's wrong?" Trini asked, noticing the subtle change in Ian's demeanor. "That stone is pure evil. Whoever uses its powers slowly becomes evil, until that person is beyond the point of no return." Justin explained, him being their scholar on the matter. "What happens then?" Ethan asked. Derak looked at him, and sighed. "Then," he began, taking a deep breath, preparing for the worst. "then, the darkness inside the stone shreds his mind to pieces, driving him to the brink of insanity, and we have to kill him." Derak finished heavily. "No.." Ian whispered. This couldn't be happening: his blood brother was going to die, one way or another. "There is a way to counter it." Derak said, halting all action. "What?" Ian asked eagerly. Derak hung his head. "We have to use the power of the yellow dragon. The only thing is, I have no clue where to find the yellow Dreagon Gem." he said as Trini reached into her pocket, pulling out a dull yellow stone. "Do you mean this?" she asked lightly, holding it up for the lot of them to see. "I'm not even gonna ask how you got that, Trini." Ian said with a grin. Now the only question was this: who was gonna be the one to use it?
As the two groups tried to figure out their little problem, Zedd and Mesogog were busyily making more for them to deal with. Namely, creating one of the largest armies ever seen, led by Zeltrax, Elsa, and the newly revived Goldar, Lord Zedds gold plated second in command. "Which group do we destroy first?" Zeltrax asked, sharpening his sword. "The dino rangers." Mesogog said simply, firing up the genorandomizer. Zeltrax nodded as the he and Goldar leapt into an invisportal, prepred to destroy the dino thunder rangers this time, once and for all.
Back at the cemetary, something very wierd was going on. The yellow dreagon gem was reacting to Kira, and the yellow dino gem was reacting to Trini. "What is going on?" Conner breathed as the two stones began glowing with the intensity of an old fashioned flash bulb. "You gotta be jackin with me.." Justin said exasperatedly. In lamest terms, the two stones were trying to switch owners, but had already bonded to their current holders. "Derak, you wouldn't happen to know what the hell is goin on, would you?" Kira asked, noticing how the stones kept getting brighter. Quite frankly, this whole thing was scaring her. "It's called The Dragonic Exchange." Derak began, fully prepared to go into a long winded explanation, had Ian not interrupted him. "Would you just spit it the fuck out already?" he screamed. The dragon rangers froze. Ian never screamed, and was calm about everything. "Okay, here the thing: dragons and dinosuars are related through their genetic code, so the powers of both yellow gems are basically the same." Derak said, catching everyone's attention. "Wait. That means, we could also use your gems?" Conner asked. "No. The only reason it reacts to Kira is because Trini can't use the stone." Derak explained. "So what do we do?" Ethan asked. "We exchange the gems. For some reason, Trini should be able to use the dino gem."
In Reefside, the army the two evil lords had created was reeking havoc on the city, and with the power rangers away, there was no one there to stop them. Almost. As another assualt team moved forward, a black blur shot past, leaving jagged slash marks in the citie's attacker's sides. Goldar and Zeltrax both raised their swords, only to see the blur being none other than the black Dragon Ranger. Dave grinned. "Well, I never thought I'd the two of you standing next to each other. So, have you set a date for the wedding, or are you just having a really loose fling at the moment?" Dave asked, laughing at the infuriated looks on their faces. The two charged at him, only to be knocked away by the same unseen force he had unintentionally used on Mesogog. "This isn't over, ranger!" Zeltrax yelled as the two limped into the invisportal. "Please, when is it ever?" he said with a roll of his eyes. His sarcams was cut short by a fifty foot monster appearing in the middle of the street. "Heh. Good. Another punching bag.." he said as he called his zord to him.
"Kira, this is your choice. If you take the dreagon gem, you have to stop Dave's rampage." Ian said. "What rampage?" Dr. O asked. His answer came in the form of a black dragon flying over head(looks like the red dragon Zord from way back in Mighty Morphin, when they first got the thunder zords or whatever they're called). "Does that answer your question?" Derak said sarcastically as they prepared to leave. Afetr about five minutes, give or take, the two team arrived in Reefside, to find the black dragon zord in human form, wielding a what appeared to be a broad sword and a katana, effectively destroying whatever else was thrown his way. Kira looked at Trini.
"Give me the stone." she said shakily. Trini nodded as the two traded stones. Kira took a deep breath and shouted, "Sun Strom Dragon, power up!" while doing the same hand motions she normally did. She looked exactly like the rest of the dragon rangers, except for the dino ranger like stripes she had on her arms and legs. Calling her Zrod to her, the two giants faced off. She drew a katana from the zord's sheathe, as Dave sheathed the broadsword his zord was wielding. The two giants charged, sword smeeting with showers of sparks. If any words were exchanged between the pair, I was not aware. As thier battle continued, inside the blask dragon zord, Dave slowly became aware of his surroundings. As Kira was about to press her assualt again, she saw the black dragon zord stop, and lower its weapon, transforming back into dragon mode. Down on the streets, Ian smiled.
"She did it." he whispered as the black dragon flew off to parts unknown, leaving a very confused and demorphed Dave behind. Kira exited the zord, and landed next to him, also demorphed. "Are you alright?" she asked as he climbed to his feet. "Yeah. Thanks, Kira." he muttered as he began to process the information his new dragon senses had picked up while he was morphed. "I need to talk to my team. Privately." he said pointedly. As Kira turned to leave, she handed Trini her dreagon gem, who also handed her her dino gem. Trini walked over and stood next to the dragon rangers.
As the Dino thunder team left, Dave dropped a bombshell. "I know how to win this fight." he said, causing his friends to nearly pass out. "We unleashed it, so we have to put it right." he continued. Derak could tell where this was going. "Let me guess, we have to reseal Zedd and all his little minions." Derak sighed. Dave nodded. "Alright, how?" "It's not that simple." Justin argued, knowing full well that there was a high chance they would never live to tell about this. Dave looked at his friends, knowing that no matter what they had to do, they would follow him through the fiery pits of hell. As previously stated, they fought together, or notat all. "We seal ourselves as well." he said softly. "Why?" Derak asked cuatiosly. "Becuase the Dreagon gems are having a negative impact on the furture. If we don't do this, evrything in the future will be changed." dave explained, knowing how one action could set an entire chain of events into motion, having an unseen impact on the future. His friends nodded. They thrust their gems forward, and focused on the dragonic powers that flowed within them. In a flash of rainbow light, they disappeared, along with Zedd and Goldar, and everything they had unleashed. Now it was in the hands of the Dino thunder team.
