Chapter 25

Kimberly looked at Tommy. Tommy was unable to power down.

"Honey, I know you look great in that black suit, but stop playing around and demorph."

"I wish I could, Kimberly. When Trent fossilized me in that amber, I think my dino gem and morpher must have remoleculerized together."

"In other words…?"

"He's stuck," Kimberly said.

"And speaking of Trent," Hayley said stepping toward the computer screen. "Looks like he is back to himself as well." The Rangers noticed that the White Ranger is rampaging through Reefside.

"I am so over that guy!"

"Go, I'll see what we can figure out here." Connor nodded. They morph and arrived on their raptor riders to battle with the White Ranger. Eventually the Rangers called for their Megazord, joined by the Dimetrodon and Cephala zords to help fight White ranger's Megazord. They fight.

During the battle the White Ranger bonds the megazord with chains and steals their Dimetrodon and Cephala zords in the process.


The Rangers retreat to Tommy's lab.

"It's no good." Hayley brought the zords on screen. Trent placed them into containment fields. "I can't break the force field, he's got them in."

"It's not Trent's fault! It's the gem!"

"I don't care whose fault it is. We have to figure out a way to deal with him or things will get uglier than they already are."

"Hey, hold on. I was in his shoes once and I wouldn't be standing here now if my friends gave up on me."

"I told them that." Tommy put his hand on Kimberly's shoulder.

"Okay, we don't give up yet. What do we do?"

"You guys have school tomorrow. Go get some rest. We'll talk more tomorrow after school."

"Okay."

Tommy waited as they left. Hayley walked them to the door. She had temporary help at the café, but wanted to check on things before coming back to see if she could figure out a way to free the rangers' zords and help Tommy. Tommy stopped Kimberly at the steps.

"What?"

"You know what, I heard you."

"Oh, that."

"Don't say, oh that! You're pregnant!"

"I am." Tommy hugged her. Kimberly sighed.

"I wish I could kiss you right now."

"Me too." Kimberly touched his head.

"How did you know?"

"I was late and I have been feeling sick in the morning since last week."

"Did you take a test?" Kimberly nodded. "Oh, baby." Tommy hugged her again. "I can't wait."

"Me too."


The following day, Conner was walking to school alone when he encounters Trent.

"You know, you shouldn't walk to school alone."

"Oh, and why is that?"

"You never know who you might run into."

"How did you do that?"

"You didn't think you were the only ones with Dino gem powers, huh?" Connor smiled.

"I don't want to fight."

"Well, that makes one of us." Trent brought up his morpher. "White Ranger, dino power." Trent appears as the White ranger. "Bring it on."

"If that's how it has to be." Connor tossed his red soccer ball aside. "Let's dance. Dino Thunder, power up!" Connor stood before him. "Show me what you got!" Trent immediately attacks Conner.They fight hard with their swords and blast each other. They are both knocked to the ground when Zeltrax and Insectolite appear. Insectolite attacks the White Ranger as instructed by Zeltrax with his powers.

"What are you doing!"

"Let's go." Zeltrax and the monster leave.

"Trent!" Connor rushes over to him. Trent is demorphed. "Are you okay?"

"I don't…." Trent is helped up. "I feel…better than okay. I'm me."


At the beginning of school, Principal Randall spots Ethan and Kira.

"Hey, you two. I got an interesting callabout that teacher of yours, Tommy Oliver. His wife says he is extremely sick and can't work for the time being."

"Now that you mention it, he did look extremely ill the last time I saw him."

"Yeah."

"Well, I better not find out he's faking it, or else he can kiss his job goodbye."

Principal Randall leaves, and they spot Conner motioning them over. Conner tells them what happen to Trent this morning. They find Trent. He tells them how sorry he is for everything he has done. Ethan asks for their zords back, which Trent agrees. He also told them he wants to give them an extra gift as an apology and tell them to meet him later on.


In the meantime, the White Ranger went to Mesagog's fortress. The White Ranger makes a deal with Mesagog over the rangers. Mesagog agrees to help the White ranger, because he will take any means to destroy the rangers.
Trent waits at the warehouse for Connor, Kira, Ethan, and Tommy to arrived, all in ranger form.

"Hey, where's our zords?"

"I thought we would start with my peace offering first."

"Oh sweet!" Trent revealsa gift to be an ATV.

"I figured you guys could use this to help against Mesagog."

"I want to ride."

"Sorry, Ethan. I think it's best I try it out first."

"Aww…man."

"Nice." Tommy gets on the bike. "Good work. 12 stroke engines."

"Sure is."

"They don't make 12 stroke engines."

"And Mesagog doesn't have monsters that turn people nice either."

"Huh!" Trent kicks the ATV

"No!" Tommy gets stuck on the ATV and Trent has his own ATV in the process. Tommy and Trent battle it out on the cycles, while the rest of the Rangers battle several Tyranodrones. The battle ends and the Rangers discover that not only did Trent double-cross them, but Mesagog as well.

The rangers go after Trent to bring out Insectolite to free their zords. Another battle break outs. The Rangers races against a setting sun to free the captured zords. They arrived too late. The White Ranger has them under his control. The zords form with his Megazord. The Rangers have a hard time with Dimetrodon and Cephala against them in their zords. Mesagog is furious over being double-crossed so sends back Insectolite to attack the White Ranger. The Rangers destroy Insectolite.


The Rangers return to Tommy's lab exhausted. Hayley fixed their bikes after the last battle since they were practically destroyed.

"Why can't he just give up?"

"Not in their nature," Kimberly said.

"Hayley you are the best."

"Just don't do it again," Hayley said wiping her hands. "Oh, and I reprogrammed that ATV for you Tommy. Should come in hand."

"We're going to need all the help we can get. If Trent and Mesagog team up for good, we are going to have a real battle on our hands."


Back at Mesagog's fortress, Mesagog is not pleased with Elsa and Zeltrax about not bringing the white ranger to him and sends them away. Mesagog's hand begins to glow and Mesagog fights it. He transforms into Dr. Anton Mercer. He is determined to keep Mesagog's under control. Dr. Mercer leaves. Trent's ability to camouflage into the wall, allows him to witness the transformation from Mesagog to his dad. Trent walks off with an evil grin on his face.
Conner, Kira, and Ethan are concerned about what Trent might do in school now that they know he is completely evil. It was October 11th now. Trent found the whole thing amusing as he was camouflaged against the lockers. The science class receives their substitute teacher, Dr. Anton Mercer. Dr. Anton begins the class by passing out permission forms for a field trip to the dinosaur museum tomorrow, and then starts his lesson of the day.

After school, Kimberly opens the door as Kira arrives.

"Hey, Kira, how was school?"

"Good, we got a new teacher."

"Oh, who?"

"Dr. Mercer is our teacher now."

"Uugh, Dr. Mercer, I cringe when I hear that name."

"Why?"

"No reason," Kimberly said. Kira nodded.

"Where's Dr. O?"

"Cleaning up downstairs and don't let him sucker you into helping him."

"Is he in trouble?"

"You can say that."

Kira went down to the lair.

"Hey, Dr. O."

"Kira, what are you doing here?" Tommy asked.

"Kimberly tells me you are doing some cleaning?"

"Yeah, I was supposed to do this months ago."

"Oh." Kira started helping him with the many different artifacts and papers. "Speaking of oh, Dr. Mercer is the new teacher."

"Wow, that's great."

"Really?" Kira asked.

"Yeah, I know he appears to be a bit strange…."

"Yeah and Justin Timberlake is just a bit hot."

"Okay, so he's a lot strange, but he's a brilliant man too. I learned a lot from him, and I owe him so much. You guys are lucky to have him."

"Okay, if you say so. Hey, what's this?"

"Oh, you better give me that."

"What is it?"

"Just a bone." Tommy tells her it is from an experiment he and Dr. Mercer had done on mind control, but they scraped the project.


Dr. Mercer led the science class around the dinosaur museum the following morning. Kira notices a shadow among the walls and decides to investigate. Cassidy follows Kira. Kira pretends that she is going to take a bathroom break, which Cassidy decides she needs as well. Kira is attacked by Tyranodrones. While held captive, Fossilador takes over her mind. Kira leaves the storage room a little dazed. Conner and Ethan, who had been looking for her, spot her and ask if she is okay. Kira tells them that she is okay and then doesn't want to hang with them anymore. Kira lures Tommy out the lair as she gets the bone for the Fossilador. After Kira delivers the dinosaur bone, Fossilador, who no longer needs her, knocks her to the ground.

Tommy urges the guys to think about when Kira began to act so strangely and they recall it was during the field trip to the museum. Fossilador is attacking the city. Tommy, Conner, and Ethan leave to take on Fossilador. Tommy is kept busy battling Zeltrax and Triptoids. Triptoids were created from a video game on Ethan's computer were he was distracted, now Mesagog controls them, using them like tyrannodrones.


Kimberly goes to the museum as Hayley helps the others during their battle. Kimberly is caught around the museum looking for a way to get in.

"The museum is closed!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, you see I'm looking for a friend. I think she might be inside."

"That's impossible. I checked the museum myself, no one is in there."

"Please, I'm pregnant and I really don't need this stress and worry on me, especially not for the baby." Kimberly touched her stomach with a smile.

"Oh, well, I guess I could. Come on."

"Thank you, thank you!" Kimberly rushed up with the security guard. She checked her bracelet for any signal on Kira. It points her to the closet. Kimberly opens the door. "Kira!" Kimberly squats down to Kira, who finally starts to wake up. "Are you alright!"

"I should call a doctor!"

"No! I mean, she's fine!. Right?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, what happened?" Kira jerked up. "Oh no, I set that monster free…"

"Are you okay to get up?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure she doesn't need a doctor?" Kimberly helped Kira to her feet.

"Oh no, no. I just need to get home."

"Yeah, I'll take her." They rushed out.

"I can't believe I am responsible for setting that creature free," Kira said in a rush.

"It wasn't your fault, you were under his mind control."

"I'm taking care of that thing."

"You sure?"

"Oh yeah. I'm gonna give that thing a piece of my mind."

"Okay, but you should hurry, the other rangers could use your help." Kira nodded and morphed into action. After the battle, they all return to the lab. Kira was curious as to why Dr. Mercer had the remaining bones of Fossilador at his museum.

"That is a good question," Tommy said turning from the computer. Kimberly looks at him as well.


Saturday, Ethan tries to help Hayley by being a waiter, but he's not doing so well. Cassidy goes over her itinerary with Devin.

"Cassidy, maybe you should clone yourself."

"As if there could be more than one Cassidy Cornell. Waiter…waiter!" Ethan dropped a tray of drinks thanks to Cassidy.

"Wow, clean up on aisle 5."

"Since when do you work here?" Kira asked.

"Since Hayley can't seem to find a replacement with Trent gone."

"I guess kicking out butts takes up SO much time," Connor said.

"I hate to say it, but maybe you guys are right. Maybe there isn't any more good left in Trent."


At Trent's home, Trent practices his battle skills on the Tyrandrones and finds them too easy.

"I need better competitions, these things are worthless. I kick their butts each time."

"Yeah, I see that." Dr. Mercer walked over to Trent as Trent sat down displeased, staring at his bracelet. "Look, son, this change I see in you, I don't like it."

"What's there not to like? This white Dino gem is making me stronger with each day, soon, no one can stop me. Isn't that what you wanted?"

"No! It's not what I wanted. It's what he wants, it's what Mesagog wants. We may share a mind, but I hate what's he has done to you."

"But you are Mesagog."

"Not by choice." Dr. Mercer tells Trent how Mesagog came to be.Dr. Mercer considered the experiments he was working on to be too risky to test on someone, so he tested it on himself. Dr. Mercer never believed things would be as monstrous.

"But the era to bring back to the dinosaurs is within reach!" Trent said.

"That's Mesagog's dream, not mine. I never wanted this for you, you understand me."

"Well, it's too late for that now, isn't it!" Trent walks off.


Zeltrax creates and sends Copyotter to Reefside created for Elsa.

"Rangers, come in. We got trouble in the city," Tommy said as he sat at the computer. Copyotter attacking. The Rangers rushed out the café, and morph to battle Copyotter. Copyotter copies their weapons and uses them against the Rangers. Copyotter leaves the rangers, claiming to have better things to copy. He bumps into Cassidy. Copyotter makes three copies of Cassidy. The White Ranger appears in his usual running fashion and battles the Copyotter. Copyotter does his job and copies Trent's weapon before leaving. Devin returns to Hayley's Cyberspace and is surprise to see Cassidy sitting so calmly when she has a ton of work to do. Devin runs into another Cassidy. Devin gets really confused when yet another Cassidy is sitting on his scooter. Devin comes to the conclusion that he needs to start wearing his glasses.

Back at Mesagog's fortress, Zeltrax laid out a trap for the White Ranger. He destroyed dozens of Mesagog's experiments, leaving behind the White ranger's weapon as evidence of his dirty work. Zeltrax is trying to work on getting on Mesagog's good side and that is the only way. Trent shows up just as the rangers were battling Copyotter and decides to jump in to take on the winner, when Mesagog's hand appears through an invisaportal and takes him.

The Rangers battle with Copyotter with no more success.

"Tommy, they need help."

"Kim's right, you should go help them."

"Right," Tommy said jumping to his ATV and racing to help the rangers. Tommy's staff is copied and used against all 4 rangers now.


Trent is strapped to a table by Mesagog.

"Traitor! You will regret crossing me!"

"What, I don't know what you are talking about!"

"You cannot be trusted. And if I can't trust you, I eliminate you!" Mesagog aims the laser beam at Trent and starts up the machine.

"You got the wrong guy! No! You're making a mistake! I didn't do anything!"

"I don't make mistakes. Goodbye, White ranger." Mesagog's machine starts draining Trent.

"Dad, don't." Trent pleads with Mesagog hoping to get through to his father. "Please, Dad, it's me, Trent! Dad, please….don't…" Trent nearly passes out. Dr. Mercer within Mesagog finally takes control and runs to the laser beam. Without hesitation hits the beam away from Trent, shielding his son from the rays. The beam's rays hit various objects, including Trent's dino gem. This neutralizes the evil effects of the dino gem, yet retains the dino power.

"Trent!" Trent moans. "Trent, son!" Dr. Mercer shakes him. "Trent, you have to wake up."

"Dad?"

"Yes. Are you alright?"

"Dad, I'm fine." Trent is freed. "I feel like my old self again." Trent looks at his bracelet. Dr. Mercer grabs his arm and examines it as well.

"The beam must have shattered the evil encryption on the Dino gem."

"Does that mean there is no more White ranger?"

"No, the power is still activate."

"Great, what do I do now?"

"You use it. The way it was meant to, for good."

"Dad!" Dr. Mercer collapsed to his knees. "What's wrong?"

"You have to get out of here, I don't know how long…"

"Dad, no! Come with me."

"No!"

"Dad, I can help…"

"No! Go! I will find a way to stop this, until then, go use your powers for good. Go, help the other rangers."

"Dad, I…can't fight against you! The other rangers hate me."

"You will do as I say."

"I won't tell them your secret Dad, I promise. I will help you."

"Now, go!" Trent rushes out.


The Rangers are still battling Copyotter when Trent shows up with his ATV.

"Looks like you guys could use some help," White ranger said. He battles Copyotter.

"This is crazy!"

"Who side is the guy on!" Trent gets knocked onto a tree.

"Is that all you got?" Trent laughs as he stands up.

"Not even close. Super Dino mode!" Using his super dino mode, Trent destroys Copyotter. Mesagog bring Copyotter back, bigger. Dr. Oliver calls for the zords, and the Rangers battle Copyotter in their megazord. Tommy watches the Rangers and is unaware that Zeltrax is behind him. Zeltrax attacks Dr. Oliver and is about to destroy him when Trent stops him.Trent helps the Black Ranger and they end up beating Zeltrax together. Trent demorphs.

"Dr. O…"

"What do you want?"

"Look, can we talk?" The rangers destroy Copyotter completely. When Copyotter is destroyed, the three Cassidy clones vanish, leaving Devin with just one Cassidy and very much still confused.


The rangers arrive to the liar and find Trent standing there, waiting. Tommy had called them in for a surprise.

"Hey, guys."

"Whoa!" Connor, Ethan and Kira go into fighting mode as soon as they see Trent.

"What's he doing here?"

"How did he get in here?" Ethan asked.

"I invited him."

"What?" Connor asked confused and shocked.

"But he's…"

"On our side now," Tommy said.

"Yeah, right. Another trick."

"No tricks," Trent said.

"Why should we believe him now?"

"Because he saved my life," Tommy said.

"Is that true?" Kira asked.

"Yes, I'm in control of the Dino gem now. I want to use it to fight with you."

"I wouldn't have brought him here if I didn't think he was telling the truth. It's up to you 3 to believe him for yourself." Connor looked at him.

"Well, if Dr. O can trust him, then I guess I am down with that."

"Yeah, I guess we got no choice," Connor said. "Considering I am tired of fighting you." Trent laughed then turned to Kira.

"Look, I know I got a lot to make-up for. But if you give me a chance to...I…I promise not to let you down"

"Okay. I guess everyone deserves a second chance." Kira points out that all newbie Rangers have to wash the zords. The Rangers load Trent up with cleaning supplies and send him on his way.

Elsa taunts Zeltrax about his failure, but Zeltrax has a surprise that impresses even Elsa. Zeltrax has created a clone of the evil White Ranger with no traces of Trent in it. A soulless warrior that is 100 percent evil. Elsa smiles.
