DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING. GET IT? NOTHING!(except the Ocs and the plot, of course)

SPD: 04

Dave stared at the picture, dumbstruck. The dino thunder rangers were all standing there, fully morphed, in front of the megazord. All except the yellow ptera ranger, Kira Ford. Why wasn't she there? With a sigh, he began to search the room, knowing that his sister would've left soem clue to what happened. The only problem was finding it, and knowing what it was. If he remembered correctly, every time she hid something, it would be in a themed place, and it would be the only object that didn't belong there. Looking around the room, he groaned at how nothing seemed to fit together. This was gonna take awhile.

Back at the delta command center, Ian was deep in thought. The only time Ashlee had appeared was just after Dave's older sister Trini died. Dave didn't know, but Ashlee was actually a phsical projection of Trini's spirit, which she sent to help him. But why would she appear now? With a start, Ian jumped to his feat and strode over to Boom and Bridge. "I need the two of you to help me build something." he said, making them fall from their standing on the head routine. "What?" Boom asked as he dusted himself off. "I need a device that can track high voltages of electricity." Ian said, making sure to be as vague as possible. If they really knew it would help him find Dave, he'd be in major trouble.

Up on Gruum's ship, the Terror, his newest captive had just been recaptured from her little escape. "So, Ashlee, was it? You thought you could warn him about my plan did you? well no matter. Your gem stone is almost out of power, and once it is, you will be my slave. FOREVER!" he cackled. Ashlle rolled her eyes at this. "Please. Can you get more cliche than that?" she asked sarcastically, spitting on the floor distastefully. Gruum growled, and blasted her with his staff.

Back at the warehouse where Ashlee had led him, dave was still sifting through all the junk Ashlee had accumulated here. Most of it seemed to be from the year 2006. Wait, why would she collect all this shite, then just leave it here? Dave stood, and grabbed the calander hanging on the wall. As he suspected, there was a date circled. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. It was a day he would never forget. It was the day his Uncle Chang had died. he flipped to the next month, only to find it was the same as the month before. Flipping through the entire calender, he found the whole thing was all the month of February. Then he noticed something else: the date February 9th was circled also, with the initials K.F. scrawled there. That was it. Something had happened in Febraury 2006, and had changed something here. He had to find-wait. He began sniffing the air subtly. There was some one else here. And by their scent, they weren't very friendly.

At the delta base, Ian hefted the device they had just finished. He mumbled out his thanks and began to leave. As he reached the door, he turned toward Boom and Bridge. "I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention this to anyone." he said. Bridge looked very confused, then he understood. If Sky knew about this, he would be constantly asking him what is was for until he cracked and told him. What is it for anyway?" Boom asked. "Never you mind. You'll find out when the time comes." Ian said as he teleported like Dave had.

Dave had been playing an interesting game of cat and mouse with whoevere else was in the warehouse. Whoever it was was good, he'd give him that. Dave froze, sniffed the air and jumped, using his new lightning powers to stick to the celing. Let's face it, he was like spider man now. Looking down, he couldn't belive who was following him. Dave dropped soundlessly behind the creature, and dealt a powerful kick to its back, sending it sprawling, its blue sword lodging itself in the wall, it's black sheild skittering across the floor.

Ian stood atop the tallest building he could find, using the scanner he had just had built. Wierd; it was showing that there was no abnormal activity, yet there were spots where the needle would jump for a brief second, then return to normal. Just as he was about to give up, the sensor began emitting a high pitched whislte, while pointing at the industrial district. Ian focused on that spot, and used another of his dragonic powers: pyschic vision. What he saw made his blood run cold. He had found something alright, what it was was the question.

Back at the delta command center, Sky was busily beating the living hell out of a punching bag that looked a lot like Dave. Jack entere the room to see this, and spun on his heel and walked back out. Why Sky was being like this other than Dave punching him was beyond him. Jack, being Jack, was not watching where he was going and bumped into a new cadet, making her drop her stuff. "Oh, crap, I am so sorry!" he exclaimed, bending to help her pick everything up. "It's no problem, sir." she stammered, noticing the red stripe on his uniform. For the fourth time in the past two days, the alarms began going off. Jack sighed, and ran to the command center. Upon entry they found Ian standing there, holding what appeared to be a deck of containment cards, all full. "These were the only ones I managed to capture, commander." he was saying to Cruger. "Cadets, you will accompany cadet Johnson to the site of the rest of these perps." he said. They nodded, and morphed, and got into their vehicles.

Dave looked down at the creature with extreme disgust. "I thought I was rid of you long ago." he spat, giving it a vicious kick to the side. As he was about to deal another kick to it, a group of orange headed krybots surrounded him. Dave reached around to what appeared to be his back belt loop, and pulled out a sword handle. The krybots laughed. "Don't look like much, does it?" he asked. "Well that's the point. This sword will change into any weapon I want it to, all I have to do is say its name.. Like so: Shadow Saber!" he yelled as it transformed itno Cruger's sword, the only differance being instead of the blade coming out of a dog's mouth, it was a dragon. Witha sinlge slash, Dave brought down the first fool stupid enough to attack.

Ian dashed ahead of the vehicles, using the turbo mode he had installed on his suit while in Limbo via a small computer on wrist that looked like the omega morpher. He skidded to a stop in front of a ware house, and drew from his belt his blaster. The other rangers pulled up, all in SWAT mode from the gitgo. Kicking the door open, they found krybot parts littering the floor, with the sounds of clashing steel coming from the back. Ian closed his eyes and focused, using his pyschic vision once more, revealing the source of the noise to be none other thanDave fighting for his life against the orange headed krybots. Something was wrong though. Normally, Dave would be done by now. The he felt it: the prescence of another dragonic energy source. "You gotta be jackin with me.." he whispered as he saw an old friend appear out of thin air, swinging a steel rod with enough power to destroy a krybot on contact, which was what happened. Activating turbo mode again, he dashed through the building to come to a stop in front of Dave and their red eyed friend, Derak.

"I know what changed." Dave said quietly, showing them the picture, and the calender. "Let's go." Derak said, aserting his red ranger authority. As the three were about to leave, SPD barged in. "Halt!" Sky yelled, making them turn toward him. Ian demorphed, and tossed his badge to Sky. "Tell the commander it's been a blast, but we gotta do something." He said. The creature Dave had attacked now stood up, revealing his black armor. Derak and Ian stared. "What the hell is Zeltrax doin here?"
