he bridge was in pure chaos as they arrived on the scene. Flamming vehicles were sprinkled among the wreckage as the cries of panic filled the area. At the eye of the storm stood an armored monster mouth open in a might roar. With a sharp turn, it spun launching a Woltsvagon Beatle further down the bridge. Its head suddenly shot in their direction and they could swear it smiled at them. The monster threw its head back in laughter as if proud of its work.

"How kind of you to finally come!" it yelled

Stepping up to the bridge Alice paused taking in the scene around her. Her eyes darted to the far side of the bridge and she stopped. This wasn't right this just felt off. The bridge barely reached its half waypoint before they had paused construction. Brightly colored caution signs covered that end of the bridge blocking that end. Stepping back she watched as the wreckage took the form of the ranger enhanced putties. Before she could leave the bridge she was surrounded by the clay monster.

"Took a lot to set this up I'm actually impressed." She said snickering

"Thank you, We put a lot into our little performance."The monster announced

She slowly approached the dragonlike monster hand resting on Saba. The armored dragon slowly marched toward her fingers clicking with every movement. Mere steps from her he spun whipping at her with his mace-like tail. Ducking the strike she rushed toward him hitting him in the jaw with a tiger palm strike. Before the monster could recover she sent a series of rapid blows into the monster's gut. The beast grabbed her before she could move away slamming her to the ground.

"You were a fool to come alone." The monster whispered

As the dragon prepared to bring its mace tail down on her head a blast of lightning hit its eye. With a snarl, the monster turned its attention to its attacker. The storm ninja Gale stood on a pole at the edge of the bridge another strike charged and ready. With a flick of her hand, she struck the putties behind Alice. Through the opening came Matt and Anton the latter moving slightly slower than normal. As the duo rushed in a chill ran down Anton's spine.

"So you survived I see."

spinning in place the white dino found the evil clone his feather sword in hand. The clone walked slowly toward his arm barely moving as he swung his blade. Then he pounced weapon held out like an arrow as he charged attack aim at Anton. Before his strike could land Anton jumped back kneeing him hard in the chest. The clone let out a grunt from the force of the blow staggering backward. The clone didn't get the chance to right himself as a blast from the Quantum Defender hit him in the chest. The clone Turned to Matt letting out a snarl flicking his feather blade. As the clone returned to clay a flurry of arrows rushed toward Matt. Just as the arrows were about to hit Gale lept down deflecting them with her ninja sword.

At the far side of the bridge, Alice dodged the swiping claws of the monster. With a look of confusion, her eyes landed on her teammates as they fought the enhanced lackies. With a series of flips, she was among them stomping in the head of a green putty. Spinning she held Saba a slash of energy firing from the blade. The blade hit the nearest pack of putties turning them to clay. Tossing her weapon in her hand she grinned only for a laugh to erupt from the monster.

"Just as predicted of you rangers." it cackled

The clay from the enemies on the bridge started to slither to the monster connecting to his scaly body. The dragon now had a humanoid form looking like a coal gray version of the White Dino Thunder Ranger. The head was dragon-shaped with a pair of twin horns on its helmet sharp fangs around its red visor. It held its tail now in the form of a heavy hammer resting over his shoulder.

"Looks like there's a Dino Thunder Gray now," Gale remarked with a snicker

"That's not even funny," Anton muttered

"Guys focus!" Alice snapped

As the order left her lips the pseudo ranger swung his hammer in their direction. Jumping the group dodged his attack sending it crashing it into the stone of the bridge. Standing on the head of the hammer Gale stabbed the false ranger in the chest. Flipping of the hammer she lodged her weapon deep into its chest. A heavy slam sent the ninja to the ground knocking the wind out of her. Using the opportunity Matt fired at the pretend ranger hitting it in the visor. The beast growled turning its attention to the Quantum Ranger raising its hammer. With the monster distracted Anton rushed over helping Gale to her feet.

"So any ideas?" asked watching their enemy

"I have one but It might not work," Matt muttered

"Can't hurt to try," Alice replied dodging another strike from the pretend ranger

Matt nodded in understanding clearing his mind. He had mentioned a special mode when giving him this ranger form now he just had to use it. He had been practicing in secret with the Quantum Mega Battle Armor. With a slow press of the correct button, he took on his armored form ready to fight. Swinging his blade he deflected the monster's hammer. With his other blade, he removed the monster's arm with a kick he sent the best to the ground. Struggling to stand the beast was met with a strong blast of lightning hitting Gale's sword. A flurry of arrows sent it into a pole with a large spike poking out. Pullin itself free a blast of emerald energy took off the monster's head.

"Now who wants?" Alice started to ask

"Make my monster grow!"

"Well, shit!" Gale muttered retrieving her sword

"Is one battle without a giant monster too much to ask?" Matt yelled to the sky

"Well looks like it's a late lunch, again," Anton grumbled

"It's just one monster not like we're fighting a god right?" Alice mumbled pulling out the Dragon Dagger

Before she could start playing a new zord appeared from the crashing water. The main body was the shadowy horse Calstros while the head and chest were Keith's black and gold thunder dragon. The zord held a large sword its blade a replica of the Power Sword used by the Dino Megazord. Golden symbols covered its blade as the new zord readied to fight.

The monster rose to take the form like that of the Dino Thunder Megazord. The zord's colors were monochrome shades of gray the entire form slightly off. Its tyrannosaurus head in its chest had three horns and the triceratops was replaced with a mace hand. The chest piece was a pterodactyl but the wings were chipped and broken. The face of the zord was set in a fang-toothed snarl as it swung at the black-colored zord.

"Any idea who that is?" Gale asked resting against a nearby pole

"It's obvious isn't it?" Alice asked

"Sorry we're late We came as fast as we could."

Turning they found Jinji standing behind them his face in a nervous smile. At the sight of the genie cat, the group smiled in relief. If he was here that meant that Lily was nearby. At the sound of a metal clang, the group turned back to the battle and it made sense. Lily and Keith were the ones within the black and gold zord. It felt good knowing they finally had their own combined zord.
