Disclaimer: Power Rangers Dino Thunder and Ninja Storm do not belong to me. Nor do the characters. My character Nevaeh is mine and mine alone.
A/N: I'm soooo sorry I haven't written but classes are getting harder and I have a midterm today (Oct. 4th) and I haven't studied. I think I'll do ok even though but...anyway this chapter is going to be very long I wrote it over a months time, hope you enjoy...
Chapter 6: The Plan
"You fools!" Mesogog was not pleased "You had them right in your grasp and you let them slip away!"
"But My Lord the other Rangers-"
"I do not care!" He interrupted Elsa "You should have destroyed both teams!" A beam of misty light appeared from Mesogog's head and shot out toward the group and hit them. Everyone grabbed their head in pain. After a few moments he released them "And you two are suppose to be powerful" He mocked Trent and Nevaeh. "But you were both the first to run!" Mesogog stroed over to Trent, "You wouldn't be attempting to betray me again, would you?"
"No dad! I learned my lesson the first time."
Nevaeh had no idea that Mesogog was Trent's father. How could this creature be Mercer? She didn't say anything when Mesogog looked at her. "I want you to fine a way to set a trap for the Ninjas! Do you think you could do that?"
"Yes, master."
"Now all of you leave my sight!"
Everyone filed out of the throne room. "He's your father!" Nevaeh exclaimed as she followed Trent to his room. "That creature is Mercer! How did that happen?"
"An excrement, I don't know what kind. I wasn't there!" Trent hissed. "We can't talk here, lets go." He took Nevaeh's hand and they went to the lab where the invis-portal was. "Where are we going?" Nevaeh didn't know if this was such a good idea. "We're going some where we can talk." Trent pulled Nevaeh through and they appeared in his home. Nevaeh looked around what appeared to be a study. "This is where you live! This place his huge, Trent." Trent rolled his eyes "Sorry, no tours." He left the study, Nevaeh followed. Trent turned left and started up a huge staircase. "Does Mercer know that he's Mesogog?"
"Yes." Trent opened a door once they were up stairs. Nevaeh entered and frowned. "What's the matter with you?" Trent asked as he crossed the large white room. This room didn't have all the drawn pictures of the Rangers getting hurt. But movie posters and even a Brittany poster over Trent's bed. This room looked like a normal 18 year olds. "Your rich Trent, your lucky." Nevaeh said crossing her arms and looking down at the floor. Trent who was changing, and didn't feel embarrassed about doing so in front of her, stopped as he pulled on a new pair of pants. "Are you serious?" He said almost a laugh. Trent grabbed a shirt out of his dresser as he walked over to his bed. "I live here with a man who says he's my father but doesn't love me, not that I'd want him to. He always looks down on me!" Trent pulled the short sleeved, black shirt over his head. It had Japanese print down the left side. He sat down on his bed "And lets not forget the fact that he's half dino."
"And the fact that your plotting to betray him." Nevaeh said sitting down on the other side of the king size bed. "You actually want the world turned back to the age of the dinosaurs?" Trent raised an eyebrow.
"No, of course not."
"Well neither do I and if we keep working for Mesogog then that's what's going to happen."
"Are you saying you want to join the Power Rangers!?" Nevaeh couldn't believe what she was hearing. Trent got a nasty look on his face "Are you kidding? We're both better then they are, we don't need them to take Mesogog down. Once he's out of the way we'll destroy the Rangers, both teams!"
"But what about your father? Mesogog is your father, you don't seem to care about Mercer either."
"Your right, I don't care. He's not my real father. He never cared about me, I don't care about him. I want them both taken out!"
Nevaeh smiled slyly "This whole evil thing really has its perks. If we prove stronger then Mesogog, then Elsa and Zeltrax will have to follow us. I like that idea."
Trent shook his head "No. Their to loyal to my father, if we destroy him they'll attack us. They'll be destroyed to."
"Well as good as this is, we still serve Mesogog for now. So can we put this whole plotting thing on the back burner for a while? I have to come up with some way to trick the Power Rangers." Trent looked annoyed but then sighed "You could always do the 'I broke free from Mesogog and now I'm good again' routine." Trent saw the look on Nevaeh's face. "Trust me it works."
"Maybe for you but not with me. Not with this thing in my neck." She leaned forward to show Trent the Blinking light just under her skin. "With that blinking every 3 seconds I'm not going got fool anyone." Trent thought about it for a second and reached over to push Nevaeh's hair back but she flinched. "Chill, ok?" He pushed back her long black hair to look at her neck. It did in fact blink every 3 seconds. "I think you can hid it with Make-up." He said looking into Nevaeh's eyes. He didn't bother to remove his hand from her neck. Nevaeh's heart started to pick up speed. "Well then I guess it sounds like a good plan." She took a deep breath "So how are we going to take out Mesogog?"
"I think we should tell the other Rangers who Mesogog is. Or more like you should."
"That would lead them to your father-"
"Exactly, they lock him up, and they lock up Mesogog."
Nevaeh smiled slyly again then leaned forward and kissed Trent, figuring he'd pull away but he didn't.
---
As they were kissing someone was just exiting the invis-portal. Anton Mercer took a deep breath as he stumbled to a chair. Mercer pushed back his hair as he left the study. Adjusting himself he made his way upstairs.
---
Trent and Nevaeh were still kissing. They were both kneeling close to each other. Nevaeh had her arms around Trent's neck and Trent had one hand on the side of Nevaeh's face, the other resting on her hip and slightly sliding down Nevaeh's backside. Mercer checked himself one more time before opening Trent's door. Mercer stared as Trent and Nevaeh rushed to get to their feet. "Dad, can't you knock?" Trent was afraid to sound to forceful in fact he sounded kind of weak. "I need to talk with the both of you."
Trent and Nevaeh looked at each other then slowly sat back down on Trent's bed. Mercer sighed and pulled the chair from Trent's desk over to the bed so he was sitting in front them. "I'll admit Nevaeh I never thought you were good enough for Trent. Being a Ninja isn't something that seemed very profitable."
Nevaeh rolled her eyes at this. Mercer all of a sudden looked very week "But I never wanted anything like this to happen to you, I'm sorry." He bowed his head. Trent took a deep breath; he actually thought it was going to be bad. Nevaeh couldn't help but laugh, "Your kidding right? Mesogog actually apologizing-"
"I am not Mesogog, he may be a part of me but he is not me."
"Ok, fine. So what are you going to do about it? Tell the Power Rangers where I'm staying so they can lock me up or something?"
"Of course not. I never wanted any of this for either of you." Mercer repeated shaking his head.
"Well it's a little late for that don't you think?" Trent said leaning forward obviously angry. "Because of you, I came in contact with this." He said showing his father the white Dino Gem. "None of this is my fault. And what makes you think...heh...I don't like being...evil?"
Mercer looked up at his son. "Trent, this isn't you. And I know this is my fault, I regret doing that excrement every single day. I just thought that it would help mankind..."
"Yeah well you thought wrong."
Mercer didn't say anything, he knew that nothing he said would put things right. Instead he got up, put the chair back and went to the door. "If you're planning on staying here there are guest rooms down the hall. Pick one." Mercer's voice had gone cold as he fixed the jacket of his business suit. Without another word he left Trent's room.
"Ok that was just weird." Nevaeh exclaimed as she stood up. "Yeah, he's like that now. He tells me what I'm doing is wrong, in hopes I'll turn on Mesogog, but he spends most of his time as him and not my father he's just wasting his breath."
"Well, I'm going to find a room. I'm kinda tired." Nevaeh walked to the door. "Let me know when your father Dinos out, so I can tell him the plan."
Trent nodded walking over to Nevaeh and kissing her. "I have Saturday school, so I'll see you later tomorrow."
"Quite the skipper are we Trent?"
"What can I say?"
Nevaeh gave him a quick kiss on the check before leaving his room. Trent went over a small mirror and looked at himself. "Nothing is going to get in my way of destroying the Power Rangers." He reached in side his pocket and retrieved the remote that controlled Nevaeh's implant and put it down on his dresser. "Not even you Nevaeh......" Trent said through gritted teeth as he turned the implant off...
---
Connor, Kira, and Ethan led the way into Tommy's lab. All the Ninjas looked around "Not bad." Cam said to himself "So these are the Ninja Storm and The Thunder Storm Rangers. It's good to meet all of you." All the Ninja's looked at the Black Dino Ranger. Almost staring, why was he still morphed? Tommy picked up on this "Your probably wondering why I'm morphed? It's a long story."
After the story and introductions they all got down to business. "First of all how did Mesogog get Nevaeh?" Tommy asked looking at all the Ninjas. They looked at each other then at Dustin. "We were just talking when she found this pink stone. That's when-"
"Wait! Wait, go back to this stone for a minute. What did it do when she touched it? Glow?"
"Yeah Dude, how did you know?"
The Black Ranger was going to tell Dustin not to call him dud but decided to let it slip. Connor seemed to notice as he eyebrows went up in an 'uh oh' sort of look but when Dr. O didn't say anything Connor frowned. "Nevaeh found the Pink Dino Gem, Elsa was probably just going to collect the gem but when she found out it had chosen Nevaeh..." Tommy trailed off figuring everyone knew what he meant. "What?" Dustin and Connor said at the same time. The Ninjas all looked at Dustin and Ethan and Kira looked at Connor. All of them had annoyed looks about them. "Ohhh!" They both said again together.
"Right, we know why they took my sister now, but that doesn't explain why she's attacking us." Cam stood up from the box he was sitting on. "Well it could be just another Trent story." Connor said trying to make up for himself. Blake looked at Hunter and Hunter said "What are you talkin' about?"
"The Dino Gem that Trent uses is evil, as soon as he touched it, it started turning him." Tommy explained.
"It wasn't the gem then." Dustin said shaking his head. "She touched it before that woman came. She didn't act any different."
The Black Ranger sighed and looked at Hayley. "Is there any other way Mesogog could be controlling Nevaeh's mind?"
"Hmm, well there's always mind control. But I'm not quite sure if that's something Mesogog would do. He could have used some sort of implant-"
"That's it!" Hunter Jumped up "Before Dustin and I fought her in Ninja Ops she had something blinking on the side of her neck."
"Yeah that's right, Sensei saw it before she morphed." Dustin got up and stood next to Hunter. "Do you think you can take it out Hayley?"
"I don't know Dustin. I'd have to get her here so I can see it."
"Alright then that's our goal. All of us." The Black Ranger turned around to look at all the other Rangers. "When ever you fight The Pink Ranger again try and capture her."
"What if that's what they want?" Tori spoke up. But before Tommy could answer there was a beeping nose, Hayley twirled around in her hair to look at the computer monitor. "It's her!" Everyone moved in close so they could get a look at Nevaeh on the screen. "She doesn't look to good." Kira said looking at Hayley then back at the screen. "I think we should handle this." Cam said from behind Hayley. The Black Dino Ranger nodded "If she brings reinforcements then we'll come help."
Shane nodded and stepped forward. "Ninja Storm, Ranger form!"
"Thunder Storm, Ranger form!"
"Samurai Storm, Ranger form!"
Nevaeh didn't know what was going on. She found herself in someone else's house and as soon as she left she was even more confused. Nevaeh wasn't in Blue Bay Harbor. Walking around led her to this old sawmill. Where was she? Her head was pounding and the last thing she remembered was Trent... Nevaeh stopped as the days events flashed in her mind. She stopped and leaned against the building. "Oh no, what have I done?" Nevaeh bowed her head. Then she heard running, someone was coming toward her in the dark. It was the Ninja Rangers "Nevaeh you have to stop this!" The Green Samurai Ranger yelled at her. "Cameron?" Nevaeh walked over to them, they slightly moved back. "I'm sorry, it's me really. I can't believe what I did. You've got to believe that it's really me now."
They all looked at each other "What if this is a trap?" The Blue Wind Ranger said looking at the others. "It's not, I swear!" Nevaeh yelled, pleading with them. The Black Dino Ranger appeared next to the 6 Ninjas. "Give me your Dino Morpher and we'll bring you to my lab to run tests. Just to make sure." He held out his gloved hand. Nevaeh at first didn't know what he was talking about but then she remembered the bracelet on her left wrist. Taking it off she felt a loss of power as she handed it over to Tommy...
---
"There's nothing there, no implant or anything." Hayley informed everyone once Nevaeh was back at the cave. "But I know it's there, I remember him putting something in my neck" Nevaeh protested as she rubbed her neck.
"I've ran ever test I know, that would pick up something like an implant and there is nothing in your neck."
"I just don't remember it being removed, it's still got to be there!"
Tommy put a hand on Nevaeh's shoulder "If Hayley says it's gone then it's a pretty safe bet that it is." He moved over to a chair and sat down "So tell us what happened."
Nevaeh went, in not quite full detail, on about how Elsa grabbed her and about the implant. She didn't however mention Mesogog being Mercer. Nevaeh didn't like the guy but it wasn't her decision to tell his secret, it wasn't like the guy wanted to be Mesogog. "We have to save Trent, he's not really evil, it's the Gem! When he has a strong memory of something good, the Dino Gem's powers weaken. I've seen it happen."
"So there's a chance we can save Trent." Kira smiled eagerly. Nevaeh picked up on this and didn't like it.
"Whoa you two. There's no way to know if we can help Trent with out me taking a look at the White Dino Gem and there is no way he's going to let any of us close enough to him to get it."
"He will me, I'll I have to do is go back to Mesogog and pretend to be evil, right?"
"Wrong. With out that implant in your neck they're going to know you're not on their side any more."
Nevaeh sighed "Then what do we do? We can't leave him there."
"Right now we all get some sleep, it's late. And these three have got Saturday school tomorrow."
"Trent's got school tomorrow two! You three can try and nab the bracelet then!"
Connor, Kira, and Ethan smiled at each other and nodded. "No!" The Black Ranger but in "Not in front of the other students, Trent won't care about them. He'll transform right in front of them."
The tree Dino Ranger sighed but knew Dr. O was right. "I guess we could just talk to him?" Kira said shrugging
"For now that's all we can do." Tommy sighed to. "Ok, I want you 7 back here tomorrow morning so we can figure out a plan. You three no skipping school tomorrow."
"Don't worry, if Mesogog decides to attack the city tomorrow, we'll let him destroy it." Connor put a goofy grin on his face.
"Out. All of you!" Was Dr. O's only response as all the Rangers filed out of his layer.
A/N: Ok this chapter was long and kinda boring at the end but I couldn't find a good place to stop it so I kept writing and writing. Gah! Anyway I changed a lot in this. I wasn't going to make Nevaeh actually good. I was just going to have her pretend but I really wanted to make Trent vicious so I changed that part. Anyway I hope you all like it and please keep those reviews coming!
