Alex and Rose stood outside Hayley's the next day and sipped on smoothies. "They sure are taking forever" said Alex, and Rose nodded and saw a blonde walk up to the building. "Hayley's Cyberspace, I wonder… Conner, Alex, Rose?" Kira said as she walked up in front of a building with a sign on it. She and Conner stopped next to the twins in front of the building. "Ethan call you guys too?" Conner asked. "Yeah, said it was super important," Kira answered, "what is this place anyway?" "No clue," Conner replied. "Let's check it out," Kira responded and the twins followed with their strawberry smoothies in hand. The four walked inside with Kira leading the way. Entering the building, they found it was full of people and included, among other things, a drink bar and an arcade. "Whoa..." Conner remarked, "You think he lives here?"
"I think he wishes he lived here," Kira responded. "I sure do" said Alex and she saw Conner laugh at her. She smacked him on the back, and he cringed. Suddenly, Ethan walked up. "There they are, my brother and sisters in crime, or at least crime fighting," Ethan said, the twins rolled their eyes and looked around the place they practically grew up in. "welcome to my world. What do you think?" "Well, I guess it's kinda cool, in a techno, retro, dorky kinda way," Conner remarked as Ethan showed them around and the twins went to the stage and picked up their mom's guitars.
"You can do anything here; game, chat online, listen to music, even drink," Ethan remarked. "Who came up with the idea for this?" Kira asked.
"That would be Hayley; she's a techno legend, MIT grad, programming genius. Got tired of working for big technology and decided to open up this place," Ethan answered. "Good thing for you," Kira responded. "No lie," Alex cut in, chuckling when she got bored on stage. "Anyway, what's so important?" Conner asked. "I just figured hey, we're gonna be saving the world together, I wanted you guys to see what I'm about," Ethan answered. "Okay, whatever dude," Conner remarked uninterestedly. Suddenly, Hayley walked up.
"Hey guys, what can I get you?" she asked. "I'll just have a Coke," Kira answered. "Oh, that's easy, Kira right?" Hayley responded. "Yeah, how'd you know?" Kira asked a little surprised. "Oh I'm all about information, it's my business," Hayley responded, "Now, you sing, don't you?" Hayley asked and Kira nodded. "Yeah, I do," Kira replied.
"Great; how about this Friday you and your band play here, we'll call it an audition," Hayley responded. "Uh, yeah; I mean, that would be great!" Kira answered. "Alright, see you then," Hayley said, walking off. "Okay, I love her," Kira remarked to her fellow Rangers. "That's Hayley; there's not one kid in here she doesn't know about somehow," Ethan responded. "Doesn't help me," Conner interjected.
"Conner McKnight, the soccer player, I'm surprised you're not at the open tryouts for the Reef side Waves," Hayley said, reappearing suddenly and handing Kira a Coke. "Open tryouts?" Conner asked a little stunned and gawking. "Yeah, at their practice field right now," Hayley answered. "You're kidding right?" Conner asked. "No," Hayley answered, stifling a laugh. "She never kids." Said Rose coming from behind Conner and he jumped at least a foot. "You were saying?" Ethan remarked.
Conner made a beeline for the exit. "Good luck bro," Ethan added as Hayley walked off. "I got to go too; I need to put setups together and re-string my guitar, here," Kira said, handing Ethan the soda she hadn't touched yet. Alex immediately took it off Ethan's hands "Bye!" Kira finished, heading out.
"Nothing like spreading the love," Ethan remarked. "You can say that again…" Alex responded, taking a sip of what was now her soda. Suddenly their Dino bracelets went off. Knowing it must be important, they answered them immediately. "Hey doc, you got Ethan," Ethan said. "You got me and Rose dad," Alex added.
"Hey, can you guys meet me at the end of Riverside Road in an hour?" Tommy asked. "Yeah, sure, what's going on?" Alex asked in response. "Just be there, I'll explain then," Tommy answered. "You got it Dr. O!" Ethan responded. The twins looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.
Mesogog's Lair
"Well?" Mesogog asked. "Well what sir?" Elsa asked.
Elsa was a short woman, clad in a black jumpsuit. Her hair was styled in thin braids winding around her skull, and she bore a strange resemblance to Principal Randall.
"Where's my explanation?" Mesogog asked.
"My lord, we offer no excuses and in apology we promise to improve our performance," Zeltrax answered while kneeled. "Is this correct Elsa? Am I to understand that you feel no need to explain yourself?" Mesogog asked. "Lord Mesogog, it is in my humble opinion that it would be a waste of your valuable time; time better spent destroying Dr. Oliver and his new Power Rangers," Elsa responded, finishing her sentence quickly out of fear. "Exactly the answer I was looking for," Mesogog responded, "now, have you had any luck in tracking down what we discussed earlier?" asked Mesogog snarling "We know they're out there," Elsa responded. "Dr. Oliver has not made his move yet, but when he does we'll be there to stop him," Zeltrax added. "You had better be," Mesogog remarked evilly. The minions looked at each other in fear of what would happen if they failed their master again.
Reef side Road
As they walked towards Dr. Oliver's discovery, Kira, Alex, Rose and Ethan were filled in on his research.
"Some of my experiments were scattered all throughout this area… there!" Dr. Oliver said. He and his two companions crouched around five glowing silver objects with glowing centers, one being red, one blue, one yellow, one pink, and one purple. "What are they?" Alex asked. "Eggs," Dr. Oliver answered. "Yo, its cool Dr. O, I just had lunch a couple hours ago," Ethan remarked. The twins rolled their eyes and kept their attention on their dad.
"No, we're not gonna eat them, we're gonna hatch them. Then you're gonna ride them," Dr. Oliver responded. "Maybe it's all this quiet out here that's got me hearing things, but I thought you just said we're gonna ride these," Ethan said, standing up. "I did. Trust me guys, when these things are ready they're gonna be a big help to us," Dr. Oliver responded with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Alright, whatever you say," Ethan replied. The two of them went to put the eggs in a bag, and had one inside when something blurred past them. They stood up and took defensive positions. "You saw that, right?" Ethan asked. "I sure did," Alex responded. Meanwhile, Dr. Oliver scooped the other eggs into his bag. "We have to protect the eggs at all costs," he said as he slung the bag over his shoulder. "Who would hurt them?" Ethan asked. Alex and Rose rolled their eyes as Elsa stepped out from behind a tree.
"I would," she said. "And I, I'm sorry to have my doubts about your intelligence Dr. Oliver," Zeltrax said as a Tyrannodrone snuck up behind Tommy. It tried to steal the bag, but Tommy kicked it away. "Really, you really expect that to work on my dad?" asked Alex smiling.
"Attack!" Zeltrax ordered. Tyrannodrones swarmed the four Rangers and their mentor from all sides, and soon a full on brawl was underway. Dr. Oliver proved himself to be no pushover, he punched, kicked, and when the drone got too close, he got low on the ground, and swung his leg in a circle. He knocked it down, However, they just kept coming.
"Ethan, call the others!" Dr. Oliver cried. However, the blue Ranger was promptly kicked to the ground before he could utter a word. "Guys, we could really use some help out here!" Alex said into her bracelet as she hit a drone with a round house kick.
With Conner
The Red Ranger, who had impressed the coach with his skill so far, was annoyed at the sudden beeping of his bracelet. Of all the times for it to go off, it had to be during tryouts. "No, not now!" Conner said to himself. He ran off, shouting to the coach that he'd be right back.
With Kira
Kira was headed home with new guitar strings and a few other things when her bracelet went off. Sighing, she headed towards the other Rangers. "Why can't I get one day?" asked Kira as she raced off.
Back at the battle
Ethan stood from being knocked over, and glared at the Tyrannodrone responsible. "Okay, you asked for it, not me," he said.
Morphing Sequence
"Dino Thunder, Power up, ha!" the four Rangers cried. They morphed separately, pulling out their weapons. Conner and Kira soon appeared, helping Alex save Ethan from a group of drones. "You guys couldn't have done this another day?" Conner asked. "Don't tell me, tell them!" Ethan answered, indicating the drones. Conner sighed. "Let's make it quick! I have to get back to practice" he said. The five Rangers engaged the drones, using their weapons to help them. Conner's Tyranno Staff enabled him to nimbly kick down drones with ease, and Ethan's Tricera Shield did surprisingly well as both an offensive and defensive weapon. Meanwhile, Kira's Ptera Grips allowed her to dish out some serious pain, but not as much as the powerful blows dealt by Alex and Rose's swords which emitted a glow as they hit each drone.
Meanwhile, Tommy found himself holding off Zeltrax and Elsa, which he didn't do such a bad job. With the drones defeated, the Rangers came to back him up, outnumbering the two villains. "You really like these odds don't you, because you look outnumbered to me!" Ethan declared. "We're not through with you Power Rangers!" Elsa cried. "Oh of course not," Alex remarked sarcastically, knowing they'd be back. The two villains retreated through an invisi-portal, leaving Dr. Oliver and the Rangers alone.
"We better get these back to my place," Tommy remarked, indicating the eggs. "What are they?" Kira asked. "We're going to ride them," Ethan responded awkwardly. Alex stifled a laugh. "What?" Ethan asked. "Nothing, go on," Alex responded, trying not to draw attention. "Look, I have to go back to tryouts, can you guys handle this?" Conner asked suddenly. "Yeah, the others can fill you in later," Dr. O answered. "Thanks, bye!" Conner responded as he ran off.
"Good luck!" Ethan shouted after him. He and the other four Rangers then followed Dr. Oliver towards where they'd parked the Jeep and the bikes.
Back at the soccer field
Conner arrived to see things being packed up, but rushed down anyway. "Hey," he said to the coach. "McKnight, I have you down as a DNF, did not finish," the coach remarked. "Look I'm sorry, I had something really important to take care of," Conner responded. "If there's anything more important than soccer, this isn't the place for you," the coach replied. "Nothing's more important than soccer," Conner responded. "Thanks for trying out," the coach said, patting Conner on the back and walking off.
"Oh man…" Conner said to himself. Suddenly a soccer ball rolled up to his foot, and a little African American girl with pig tails jogged up. "Kick it!" she cried.
He kicked it back to her, and she stopped it by putting her foot down on top of it. "Good stop," Conner remarked. "Thanks," the girl responded. She then ran off with her guardian. Conner sighed and shook his head. He couldn't believe he missed the most important tryouts of his life.
Hayley's Cyberspace
Alex, Rose, Kira and Ethan sat around a table using four laptops. Alex and Rose had theirs, but Ethan and Kira had to rent theirs. "Man, Dr. O is into some weird and funky stuff; I don't even want to think about what he's hatching down in that cave right now," Ethan remarked. "Probably something related to dinosaurs," Alex commented sipping on a smoothie. "Who knows what our dad's doing. He always does weird things in that basement. One day we caught him meditating in the middle of the floor. He was just sitting there in the middle of a circle of candles while he wore a Karate GI. It was strange" said Rose sipping on her smoothie.
"I have a feeling we won't have to wait long to find out," Kira added. She turned towards the entrance just in time to see a Hispanic boy wearing a gray button up over a white tee walk in. "Whoa, who is that?" she asked. "That's Trent. He's in our science class" said Alex and she waved at him.
"Hey Alex, Is Hayley around? I was supposed to start working here today" said Trent, "Um, she should be around here somewhere. Come meet the rest of the gang." Said Alex and they walked over to their group.
"Hey guys, this is Trent, he's a friend of ours and he's extremely cool. Trent this is Ethan, and Kira." Said Rose and Alex sat down. "Nice to meet you Trent, Hey, haven't I seen you at Reef side?" Ethan responded
"Yeah, I just moved here last week." Said Trent and Kira seemed to ignore the group completely. "Hey you okay" asked Trent and Ethan smiled.
"She doesn't speak," Ethan said with mock sadness, "we've been trying for years but we just can't get through." Kira glared at him, and smiled. "I'm fine, it's nice to meet you Trent." Said Kira before turning back to the report she was writing. Suddenly, Hayley walked up. "Trent, good timing, come with me and we'll get you started," she said. "Awesome, see you guys later" said Trent and waved goodbye to his friends, new and old.
Once he was gone Ethan turned to Kira. "He's just so wow," he said mockingly. Alex couldn't help but chuckle, especially when Kira slapped Ethan's leg. Just then, Conner walked up. "Hey, how'd it go?" Alex asked. Conner sat next to her and she took his hand under the table.
"How'd it go? It's over! The coach basically said forget it, and who can blame him; I mean, I left in the middle of practice!" Conner responded. "It's not like you didn't have a good excuse," Kira responded.
"Yeah, because the coach would totally believe that I was fighting freaky looking dinosaurs in the forest! Man, this whole saving the world thing is really starting to bum me out!" Conner remarked angrily, "I need to go talk to Dr. O." "Um, I think he's kinda busy," Alex cut in. "I don't care; I was busy today and he cut into my life!" Conner responded, storming off. "Great, we better follow him before he does something stupid," Ethan responded. The four Rangers headed after him on the way to Dr. Oliver's basement.
Entrance to Dr. Oliver's basement
As the door opened, the Rangers could see items flying everywhere as if a hurricane was blowing through. "Don't come in, it's not safe!" Tommy shouted.
"We kinda got that dad!" Alex and Rose responded. Suddenly Tommy was flung across the room, landing in front of the Rangers. "Is that what was in those eggs?" Ethan asked. "Yeah, I'm trying to train them," Tommy responded. "How's it coming?" Conner inquired.
"Slowly," Tommy responded, ducking another flying object, "very slowly." "Look, I can see that you're busy and all, but I need to talk," Conner continued.
Suddenly, Tommy was thrown forward past the Rangers by what appeared to be a red tail. The Rangers closed the door to the basement and helped Tommy to his feet. "I guess I could take a break," Tommy said cleaning himself off. "Look, you gotta find someone to replace me," Conner remarked. Alex looked at him and touched his arm.
"What are you talking about?" Kira interjected. "You're crazy!" Ethan said, "you can't be replaced!" shouted Alex all at the same time. "Alright, settle down you guys," Tommy said. Alex stepped back, wanting to stay out of the conversation. "What's the problem?" Tommy asked. "Look, I'm a soccer player, that's all that I ever wanted to do. Now, every moment of my life has led up to playing for a pro team, and I get the greatest chance of my life, and I blow it," Conner responded. "I understand, and you're right," Tommy responded.
"You're agreeing with him?" Ethan remarked. "Conner, I know how you feel, because I've felt that way before; but I want you to think about this before you do it," Tommy finished. "Look, I've got things I want to do too, but I'm here," Kira added. "Good for you, I guess I'm just different," Conner responded, walking off. "Different? If by that you mean more selfish, you're definitely right about that," Alex shouted and ran up to her room with a small tear in her eye. "Here and I thought the red guy was supposed to be the leader," Ethan added. "I know right" said Rose and ran after her sister. Tommy just stood there shaking his head sadly.
Mesogog's Lair
"If Oliver tames those creatures, he'll be able to use them against us, and that would be, disastrous" Mesogog said, "The time has come for Dr. Oliver to become a student instead of a teacher; Initiate the genome randomizer." Elsa and Zeltrax activated a strange machine, which produced a vicious looking, leaf adorned monster from a glass chamber that would definitely be trouble for the Rangers. Mesogog smiled.
On the practice field
Conner was kicking balls into a net when the coach from earlier walked up behind him. "McKnight," the coach said, catching Conner's attention. "Coach, what are you doing here?" Conner asked, turning to face him. "Got a call from one of your teachers, tells me that it was his fault that you had to leave today," the coach said. "Does that mean I've got a shot?" Conner asked. "You've always had a shot son, are you sure you really want this? You'll have to give up everything," the coach asked. "Yeah, I am!" Conner responded. "Well, I'll let you know," the coach said, heading off. Suddenly, the other Rangers walked up. "Hey bro," Ethan said. "Things okay with the coach" Kira asked. "I heard my dad gave him a call earlier," Rose added. Conner looked around and didn't see Alex. "She's really mad at me huh?" asked Conner and Rose nodded. "Talk to her tomorrow. She'll be over it by then" said Rose.
"Yeah, I think so. Listen, I'm sorry you guys, you gotta understand," Conner said. "Yeah, we do," Kira responded. "She does more than me, but if that's what you really want," Ethan commented. "Same here," Rose added. Suddenly, their bracelets went off. "Guys, we have a situation; there's a monster attacking the city, people are in danger!" Tommy exclaimed. "Okay, but this is the last time," Conner responded. "Dino Thunder, Power up, ha!" the four Rangers cried, morphing.
"Alex, get you're teary butt downtown. Just because you're sad, doesn't give you the right to miss a fight" said Rose, and she heard her sister cuss at her in Japanese. "Language" said Rose as she rode her motorcycle to the battle scene.
In the city with the monster
"Nasty!" Conner remarked at the sight of the beast. The four Rangers engaged it, but were thrown backwards to the ground. The beast started after Kira, but was stopped in its tracks by Ethan's voice.
"Hey birdbrain, Thundermax!" he cried. He, Conner and Rose blasted the monster with their Thundermax blasters, and the big chicken fled. "He's getting away!" Kira cried, getting up. "We'll never catch it!" Conner responded, stopping her. "You are so negative" added Alex while walking up to them. "Guys, you can catch the monster; Meet the Raptor Riders!" Tommy suddenly said over the Morphers. Four semi-mechanical, black and Ranger colored Raptors dashed towards the five teens. They jumped on their respective colored raptors with joy. "Oh yeah" Conner exclaimed. "Sweet, just like riding a motorcycle but with legs" Alex commented. "This is awesome!" Kira added happily. "Oh yeah baby" Ethan finished excitedly. "Let's do this!" said Rose holding her katana.
"Go Raptor Riders!" the Rangers exclaimed together. They rode the raptors through the city, while pursuing the monster. They came upon a massive wave of drones, and saw one attacking the girl Conner had seen at the practice field earlier. "I'll help the girl, you guys follow that creep!" Conner remarked. "Got it!" Kira responded.
"One freak going down" Alex added. She, Kira, Rose and Ethan rode off in pursuit of the monster while Conner jumped off his raptor and engaged the drone that was going after the girl. Taking it down with a powerful kick, he crouched next to the young soccer lover. "You okay?" he asked.
"Yep" the girl responded with a smile. Her guardian suddenly ran up to take care of her.
"She's safe now," Conner said before heading off to help his fellow Rangers. He caught up to them as they launched an attack on the monster. Kira started off with a couple slashes of her Ptera Grips, followed by Ethan blasting it with his laser gun, Conner then slashed it with his Tyranno staff, which Alex and Rose followed immediately with a hard blow from their Katana's.
The monster was blasted back to the ground, meanwhile Alex, Ethan, Rose and Kira jumped off their Raptor Riders and landed on either side of Conner. They combined their weapons immediately. "Z-Rex blaster, firing" Conner cried. The blaster blasted the monster into oblivion. "Awesome!" Ethan remarked.
In the Island fortress
Mesogog sighed and went to a lever. "Must I do everything myself?" asked the dino man, and he pushed up on the hydro generator and the monster became 30 stories.
Back at the Battlefield
A strange storm cloud appeared and rained down some kinds of liquid on what used to be the monster, bringing it back together and causing it to grow to just about 30 stories tall. "Whoa!" the Rangers remarked. "Dr. O, we may have a problem," Conner said into his morpher. "Let me guess, the 30 story version of that guy you were just fighting?" Dr. Oliver asked.
"You've done this before, haven't you?" Ethan asked. "Once or twice," Tommy responded, "I'm sending the Dino Zords." The five zords came charging in to help the Rangers face the monster. "Bring it on!" Conner cried. "Alright" Ethan remarked. "Yeah" Kira added. "You guys ready?" Alex asked.
"Let's do it!" Conner responded. The four rangers entered their zords, and then combined them into the Thundermax Megazord. However, the monster blasted them, sending the Megazord stumbling back a couple steps. "I have an idea!" Kira remarked, "Ptera-rang!" The Megazord pulled out a pterodactyl themed boomerang and threw it at the monster, knocking it back in a stunned state.
"Time to finish the job" Rose said, "Raptor Slash!" The Megazord used the Raptor's claws and dealt the monster with a powerful finishing blow. The monster self-destructed in a massive explosion, ending the battle.
"Now that's what I call monster busting!" Kira remarked.
"Yeah!" the boys responded. The Rangers exited the Megazord, which separated into the five Dino Zords. As the zords returned to where they'd come from, the little girl from earlier ran up to Conner. "Thank you," she said, hugging him. "Anytime," Conner replied, "Anytime…"
