Chapter 16: The Return, and the Plan
"SHE'S WHAT!" echoed the rest of the gang simultaneously inside of Dino-Ops, Ethan, Trent, Kira, Conner and Krista stared at Tommy and Hayley.
"Pregnant." Replied Tommy and Hayley at the same time, at the moment Hayley was sitting on a black leather computer chair while Tommy stood next to her.
The entire gang stared jaws dropped, eyes in shock. Finally somebody decided to say something. That somebody was Kira. "Dr. O, how could you let this happen?"
"What do you mean 'How could you let this happen?'" asked Ethan while putting air quotes. At the moment he was wearing an untucked, unbuttoned plaid shirt on top of an equally untucked white tee "I'm pretty sure he was on top of her when it happened." Hayley's blush was so red that it made the color of her hair seem pale.
"Uh….ok….. I didn't need that picture in my head." replied Krista who was obviously feeling disturbed and very uncomfortable thanks to Ethan's bluntness. Presently she was wearing a black T-shirt and a blue pair of jeans, and she was sitting next to Conner.
The others nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile on Mesogog's island fortress, the time had finally come for the sinister villain to unleash the final stage of his plan. The mutant dinosaur quickly pieced together the final parts of his new and improved tyranodrone virus one that could not be cured with large amounts of Dino Energy. After adding several other ingredients, it was finally ready. The sinister Dinosaur let out a soft cackle as he realized that his dream was finally coming true. "Soon. Soon my dream will no longer be a dream, and this pathetic human ruled planet shall belong to the dinosaurs."
While Mesogog worked on his Tyranodrone Virus, Zeltrax was heading towards Reefside in his new zord, which he dubbed the "Zelzord." The colossal zord was white with the strangest shaped head and arms. But none of that mattered, it was his and it would destroy all of his enemies. The massive machine suddenly stopped moving, with a grunt of frustration Zeltrax walked over to the power chamber of the zord. Inside were various people from the town he had attacked tied to several long poles, which went from the ceiling down into the floor. None of them were able to move, all of them were terrified. Zeltrax walked over to a particular civilian who was being held in a massive glass capsule with green vines, this one was unique since the only thing left of her was a dried out husk of a person.
'One of the disadvantages of having a zord, which is powered by a person's life force.' Thought Zeltrax as he tore off the restraints, which were wrapped all around the husk of a person. The others whimpered in terror knowing what would happen next.
Zeltrax walked over to a pretty 20 year old blonde women, who was sobbing in terror, Zeltrax casually grabbed her wrist and dragged her over to the same capsule the previous victim was held in. With a grunt of fury Zeltrax threw her into it, almost immediately four green vines latched themselves onto her. "No, please." She screamed. "Someone help! Someone please help me!"
The women's screams for help were never answered.
Meanwhile Mesogog had finally managed to finish perfecting the Tyranodrone virus, carefully; the devious mutant dinosaur emptied the vial filled with the gooey green virus into a canister. Mesogog silently covered the canister before inserting it into a massive missile shell.
It was then that Elsa walked into the room; she was surprised to see her master working, some he only did when he didn't want any possible screw-ups. 'Must be a big plan.' Thought Elsa as she curiously walked over to watch her master work. "Master, just what are you planning to do?"
Mesogog finished the preparations before turning over to Elsa to explain his plan, his final plan. "With this new and improved Tyranodrone Virus, I shall finally fulfill my dream of returning this planet to its prehistoric roots. By filling this missile with the virus and firing it into the stratosphere, where it will detonate and be carried around the globed by trade winds. By infecting the entire planet with this virus, I shall finally rid this pathetic planet of the disease that is known as humanity!" growled Mesogog, his eyes had an insane spark in them, a spark which scared Elsa. "But in order for my missile to reach such a height it requires approximately 72 hours to power up."
"Well, I guess we're in for a long wait then……"replied Elsa with a smirk on her face as she lazily stretched, as always she wore the same tight leather outfit which left very little to the imagination. Her trusty sword was tied at her waist as always.
"Not exactly." objected Mesogog as a small group of tyranodrones surrounded Elsa. Elsa remained oblivious of their presence since it was considered "normal" for Tyranodrones to wander the many halls and chambers of the fortress. "By powering my missile with another living being's life force, I can reduce the charging time down to a mere 12 hours."
Elsa's smirk suddenly vanished as his words sunk in. Both of her arms were suddenly grabbed by several tyranodrones, her eyes widened in terror. "M-Master, what are you planning to do?" stuttered Elsa as the Tyranodrones dragged her over to a nearby chair and forcibly strapped her down. "WHY!"
"You are my servant, Elsa, or have you already forgotten about that? I no longer have any use for you. So now I shall dispose of you. But don't worry, your life shall be sacrificed for me to complete my dream!" snarled Mesogog as he powered up his laser which would suck out all of Elsa's life force. Within a few seconds the laser was fully powered and with a bright flash of multicolored light and several disgusting sucking sounds, it drained Elsa of her life force, when the light cleared, nothing remained of Elsa, not even a withered husk of a person.
"Excellent…………."
Back at Dino-Ops, the group was discussing ideas on how to rescue Anton Mercer, Trent's father, although many good ideas were thrown out, none of them seemed to be good enough, or at the very least safe enough for the team to do without somebody getting hurt.
"Maybe we could destroy Mesogog's island." Suggested Ethan.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, except there seems to be one major flaw." Replied Kira sarcastically.
"Oh yeah? And what would the problem be?" snapped Ethan.
"Anton Mercer would sink with the island." Said Kira with a smug grin on her face. She was currently wearing a loose bright yellow tank top on top of a long sleeved white shirt along with a pair of army green cargos. Her dark blonde hair was loose.
"Oh yeah….."
"What if we hack into Mesogog's invisaportal network and use it to bring the zords onto his island and use them to destroy the base and rescue his father?" suggested Krista.
Tommy stroked his chin as he wondered whether or not the idea was a safe one. Out of everyone in the room, he was the one who possessed the most battle experience, and he knew better then everyone else that safety and recklessness just didn't mix. "While it is possible for us to hack into Mesogog's invisaportal network, it'll take way too long for us to create a portal large enough to accommodate the zords."
Hayley's ears perked up when she heard Tommy's statement. "What if we didn't use the zords, what if we used something a bit smaller but just as effective."
The entire gang stared. "What do you mean?"
Hayley didn't get a chance to answer since the commander center's alarm went off. Trouble. The massive computer screen reviewed the newest problem to be a brown-haired women being attacked by none other then Zeltrax, or at least it looked like Zeltrax…… There was something different about him.
"Is that Zeltrax?" asked a very surprised Trent.
Conner grinned eagerly. "Only one way to find out." A small flash of golden flames appeared on his wrist. "Ready?"
"Ready!" shouted the rest of the team.
"Dino Thunder Power up!"
"White Ranger Dino Power!"
And with the mechanical roar of three motorcycles and two all-terrain-vehicles, the rangers were off to stop whatever threatened their precious city of Reefside, leaving a redhead and a brunette alone to discuss….stuff. Problem was Krista and Hayley really weren't that well acquainted. The silence between the two was extremely uncomfortable.
Finally Hayley decided to break the silence.
"So, how are things going with you and Conner?" asked Hayley as she nervously brushed back a lock of her rich auburn hair.
"Pretty good I guess." Krista replied causally, "I worry about him, but I also believe in him. I know that no matter what the odds area, he and the rest of the team will always pull through. But what about you and Dr. Oliver, I mean things have got to be different now that you're pregnant with his baby."
"Yeah, things are different, I mean he freaked out at first, but now he seems happy that I'm pregnant, and I think he wants this child just as much as I do." Answered Hayely with a smile before she turned back to the computer so she could watch their battle with Zeltrax. "I've better get started on the finishing touches of the new assault vehicle."
At the moment the rangers weren't faring too well against Zeltrax, who had managed to evolve into yet another form, this one was more powerful the original Zeltrax. Armed with a slick silver body, dark black spikes which jutted out from his wrists, ankles and shoulders as well as a pair of scimitars for each one of his metal hands. The rangers were clearly outclassed, despite the fact that the odds were clearly against Zeltrax. A powerful slash sent Tommy flying into the other rangers.
His team members helped them up as Zeltrax stood, patiently waiting for his next opponent. "Give up yet? Isn't it obvious by now that you guys are seriously outclassed?" sneered Zeltrax.
"Yeah? Well we'll see about that!" growled Conner as he powered up. "You guys ready?"
"Ready!" shouted the rest of the team.
"Super Dino Mode!"
Every visor on their helmets let out with a savage roar as an aura of Dino Energy surrounded each Ranger. The white stripes on Conner's wrists and ankles grew to long sharp rock hard spikes, while Ethan gained shorter spikes on his wrists, but a pair of insanely long spikes on his shoulders, Kira's spikes were a lot shorter then the rest of the teams, but to compensate for that she obtained a pair of wings. The black marks on Trent's body grew out into long jagged blades, giving him a porcupine look, while Tommy gained several long heavy black spikes.
"Oh?" asked Zeltrax in surprise, "These odds hardly seem fair. Why don't I even them up!" Zeltrax stabbed one of his scimitars into the ground before forming a small ball of greenish black energy formed on Zeltrax's hand, the cyborg tossed the ball into the air before it formed into an invisaportal bring him his reinforcements: a small army of Triploids.
The rangers quickly charged into battle, now that they were powered up, weapons weren't really need, Ethan started the assault by slashing a triploid with the spikes on his wrist, while Kira glided in feet first into a triploid's face once she landed she quickly punched another one in the face before jumping over one and striking it's neck with her foot. Trent also flew into battle except when compared to Kira he possessed superior flying abilities, he flew in and quickly slashed four triploids with the jagged black blades on the top of his hands, he quickly followed up with a round house kick to the face of another one, before ending his assault by spinning in the air like a top, his blades stretched out, any enemies dumb enough to get close to him at that pointed paid for it with slashes to their, legs, stomachs and faces. All of this he did in midair.
Tommy quickly cut his way through the triploids with his brachiostaff, before charging directly Zeltrax, but he never reached Zeltrax since he was suddenly doggie-piled by several triploids registering him unable to move. "Dammit!" snarled Tommy in frustration as he struggled to move.
Conner quickly sweep kicked a triploid before slashing several of them with the spikes on his arms. He quickly charged at Zeltrax and attempted a flying kick but he was repelled by a dark purple barrier projected by Zeltrax. "Didn't you hear me the first time? You're outclassed!" sneered Zeltrax as he blasted Conner with cruel bolts of green lighting, which sent him flying.
Conner struggled to get up as the others ran over to help them, the defeated triploids laid motionless on the concrete ground before bursting into dust. "Kira, Ethan!" shouted Conner as he summoned the Shield of Triumph into his hands.
"Right!" said Ethan and Kira simultaneously before they ran up to Conner, the two quickly formed two golden balls of Dino Energy and sent it into the shield. Almost immediately Conner's ranger suit changed, the white stripes on his arms became a cool blue, bright gold trimmings were added to his helmet, the Tyranomorpher on his wrist became a pure gold as the transformation continued, finally the three-pronged foot symbol on his chest became a golden five pronged reflection of the Shield of Triumph.
"Triassic Ranger power!" shouted Conner.
"Oh? Now things are getting interesting…" said Zeltrax eagerly. "But what's with all the power ups? You must be some kind of power-up junkie."
Conner quickly pointed his shield at Zeltrax. "Triassic Dimension!" The shield began to glow a bright gold as Conner and his opponent Zeltrax was suddenly transported into another dimension. Zeltrax landed hard, he quickly got up and surveyed his surroundings, he was standing on a massive stone pillar in the middle of the ocean, powerful waves crashed against the pillar, the skies were a bright and the sun was shining, the tranquility in the skies was a stark contrast to the violent unrest in the ocean around Zeltrax.
"W-Where am I?" wondered Zeltrax.
"You're in my world now…." Said Conner as he gracefully landed on the same pillar. "This is the Triassic dimension, a dimensional field controlled entirely by me. I have only shown this to the most wicked monsters."
"I'm honored, but I guess I deserve to see this, after I slaughtered that entire town of people." Sneered Zeltrax.
"Let's fight!" snarled Conner, as he converted the Shield of Triumph into the Sword of Triumph. The two warriors stood ready, Conner with his sword, Zeltrax with his scimitars. A powerful wave hit the rock formation they were standing on and the two warriors charged into battle, the start of their climatic battle was signified by a massive explosion of a golden red aura being emitted by Conner and a silver blue aura being emitted by Zeltrax, the two auras merged to form a mighty explosion of Dino Energy.
A/N: Well ok, this officially begins the mulit-chapter end of this story. A lot of challenges as well as battles are coming up, but don't worry I promise that the ending of this story will be a good one.
Please review, it's motivation for me, plus it's nice to know someone's reading my story.
