Author's note I had to cut a lot from this episode so this might be the shortest chapter so far full disclosure episodes with little to no Character Development tend to bore me and in this episode they had just a ridiculous amount of time wasted in extra morphing sequences and the Cassidy and Devin side story that just was pointless so I tried to be as time effective as possible here let me know what you think Reviews are always welcomed and appreciated

Game On
AU: Cyberspace
Trent was carrying a tray back to the counter where he was greeted by Haley.
"Careful this next one is going to be a big one for table 5" Haley said as she grabbed a soda and placed it on the counter
Trent laughed at the joke and attempted to grab the soda and leave only for Haley to stop him. "Wait" Haley said as she grabbed a bigger tray full to the brim with food and drinks.
"Oh man" Trent said as he lifted the tray up with as much strength as he could muster.
The young teen walked with the tray wobbling to the table in question and greeted the s as he began handing them their respective drinks and food.
Halfway done with the tray he walked around the table to hand the other side of the table their order
Meanwhile as Trent did his job, Ethan was deeply immersed in playing a video game in a computer. He seemed to be progressing well until the screen faded to black and a wizard popped on the screen laughing at him. This infuriated the teen who rose from his chair yelling at the screen and while doing so, knocking Trent frontwards towards the floor
"I'm sorry" Trent apologized to the customers as he went to take the broom.
"Hey man will you calm down its just a game" the young teen said to Ethan as he started cleaning the floor.
Haley approached to Ethan and told him "Hey you need to apologize to Trent"
Ethan paid her no attention and nonchalantly replied "Yeah sure sorry Trent now if you excuse me I need to focus"
Haley sighed "Wizard Wood? Really? You trying to crack the code" the tech genius commented
Ethan frantically nodded. "Yes that's right first person to do so gets to test out their new game while in development that's a foot in to a development company if I can do so" The blue ranger explained as he once again was greeted by a black screen and a laughing wizard.
Once again, Ethan threw a tantrum. This time however Haley had enough. The tech genius unplugged the power chord on Ethan's computer startling the blue ranger.
"Hey! What was that for?" exclaimed Ethan
"That's it you're disrupting my other customers so I'm cutting you off for the day" Haley said as she walked away power chord in hand.
"Man that's just whack" Ethan said as his blue bracer started glowing.
"Go for Ethan" the blue ranger called
"Hey are you still on the Cyberspace?" Kira asked over the communicator
"Yeah why?" Ethan replied
"Dude remember we were sending Conner off to his first game with the Waves we are at the school waiting for you" Kira reminded Ethan
"Oh yeah sorry I forgot all about that. Tell him good luck for me alright?" Ethan said as he ended the communication and decided to head back home huffing mad about being taken away from his game.
AU: Reefside High Parking Lot
"Are you guys sure you'll be able to handle things with me gone?" Conner said as put his bag on the trunk of his mustang.
"Conner don't worry about it if an emergency does occur, we programmed Kira's Zord to pinpoint your signal and come pick you up" Tommy explained as he reassured the red ranger not to worry.
"Yeah Con you are going to have plenty to worry enough with the game" Carlos said as he finished packing his own trunk.
Conner nodded and looked at Tommy. "Seriously Dr. O if anything comes up let me know and I'll be there"
Tommy nodded and told the red ranger "Focus on your dream for today Conner I'm sure Kira and Ethan will have the city covered"
"Where's Ethan?" Carlos asked noticing the lack of a certain blue ranger
"He said to wish you good luck and sorry that he couldn't make it" Kira explained as he finished talking to her
"Oh well tell him thanks I guess, wish me luck" Conner said as he hopped into his mustang and started the engine.
"You'll run circles around them Conner" Kira told the red ranger who gave her a thumbs up and drove away following Carlos behind on his mustang
AU: Ethan's house
"I can't believe Haley will cut me off" Ethan huffed as he entered his room and powered on his computer
"Well it aint the cyberspace's computer but I can still play Wizard Wood from here" Ethan said as he logged back into his game "Lets get cracking!"
AU: Mesogog's Fortress
"Ahh, excellent" Mesogog exclaimed staring at the monitor showing the blue ranger yelling at his computer screen.
"Nothing better than a distracted prey for a hunter to attack. Zeltrax activate the geno randomizer" Mesogog commanded
"Yes milord" Zeltrax nodded and did as commanded
Sparks flew all around the room and the monster Demagnetron appeared in the room.
"Perfect now go and destroy the blue ranger" Mesogog sent the monster out who rushed out to complete the task
AU: Ethan's house
Ethan connected a small device to his computer as it started decoding the code on the game
"Alright just a few more seconds and I'll be the first to get the code" Ethan thought out loud
Unbeknownst to him the Demagnetron monster had managed to sneak outside of his window and blasted the cheat device causing it to smoke and send small sparks flying
"What in the-" Ethan exclaimed as a flash of light shot out of the device and in a blink of an eye Ethan was gone from his chair
"Yes! One ranger down!" Demagnetron exclaimed as it celebrated outside of the James household
AU: Wizard Wood World
Ethan regained consciousness and stood up looking around not recognizing his whereabouts
"Alright don't freak out, I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation for all this" Ethan said out loud
As the blue ranger panicked, a very familiar giggle was heard echoing around the woods.
"Beldorf?" Ethan asked as the wizard from the game he was playing was now laughing at him.
"The one and only young weird looking traveler" Beldorf said as he waved his wand and disappeared and reappeared this time behind Ethan
"What brings you here to my humble abode?" Beldorf questioned pointing his wand at the young blue ranger
"Honestly? I have no idea how I got here and frankly all I want to do is leave back to my house" Ethan tried explaining as out of nowhere black and white looking creatures appeared and approached the blue ranger and began assaulting him
AU: Dino Thunder HQ
Tommy got an alert on the monitor from Ethan's Dino Morpher's signal disappearing without a trace.
With haste, the veteran ranger called Kira on her communicator.
"Kira are you there?" Tommy called
Shortly afterwards the yellow ranger replied "Dr. O? I'm here"
"I need you to head over to Ethan's house his morpher's signal has vanished without a trace" Tommy informed startling the yellow ranger
"I'm on my way" Kira said
"I'll call Conner and-" Tommy said only to be cut off by the yellow ranger
"Hold off on that Dr. O lets make sure this really is an emergency, it could be a false alarm" The yellow ranger said as she rushed towards the blue ranger's house
AU: Ethan's house
Kira arrived shortly after Tommy's call to Ethan's house not spotting any cars in the driveway.
Noticing a presence nearby the yellow ranger hid and soon spotted the monster celebrating his victory
Positioning herself the yellow ranger let out a powerful Ptera Scream sending the monster backwards to wards the street
"Dino Thunder Power Up Ha!" Kira yelled as she morphed into her ranger form
"Ptera Grips" Kira summoned her weapons and began fighting the monster one on one overpowering him
"take this my magnet blasts" Demagnetron yelled as he shot blue and red beams from his hands striking Kira and sending sparks flying
"what did you do to Ethan blue and red freak?" Kira demanded as she pulled her blaster and shot the monster repeatedly
"Argh same thing I'm going to do to you" Demagnetron said as he charged a beam and shot it on the floor between it and Kira
The beam opened a hole that sucked both of them through it
AU: Wizard Wood World
Ethan struggled to fight the triptoids as they outnumbered him severely
"Alright that's it time to unload" Ethan said activating his Tricera Skin powers and proceeding to pound the daylights out of several of the triptoids
Suddenly, a portal opened on the sky and down came Kira striking the Demagnetron monster into the ground
"Kira?" Ethan called out to his teammate
"Ethan? What are you doing here?" Kira said examining her surroundings "what is here?"
"Well I was playing this game and I think we are on it now" Ethan said disposing of two more triptoids
"Played too much? Why haven't your mophed?" Kira asked
"Honestly hadn't thought of it until now, but now that I have" Ethan said as he called on to his morpher "Dino Thunder Power Up Ha!"
Ethan morphed and him and Kira proceeded to fight off the remaining triptoids and directed their attention to the monster
"You're next" Kira said as she pulled out her blaster and fired at the monster with Ethan rushing at it with his Tricera Shield
"We'll see about that hahahaha" Demagnetron yelled as he started firing his beams blasting both rangers down
As the two winced in pain, the monster approached them ready to deal the final blow
"Time to say bye bye rangers" The monster raised its hand to blast the rangers as they lit up
Expecting a blast to come out , the monster was ticked off to see his hands now replaced with what looked like stuffed bunnies
"What the-" The monster cried out
As the monster was confused, Belford laughed happily waving his wand at the creature.
"oops did I do that" the wizard teased
"I'll make you pay" The monster yelled as it tried tackling the wizard only to be stopped by Kira and Ethan firing their blasters at it
"Alright time to put an end to this. Tricera Shield! Horn!" Ethan yelled calling to activate his shield finishing mode. The center horn from his shield extended as the Blue ranger leaped on the air
"Take this Dino Power Horn!" Ethan yelled as he impaled the monster with this shield's horn sending sparks every where
"No this cant be" Demagnetron said as he fell backwards exploding into a pieces and ashes
"Alright we did it!" Kira exclaimed giving Ethan a high five on the win.
The two immediately felt as if they were fading away .
Ethan looked at Belford and smiled "Well this is goodbye thanks for the assist Belford"
"That's the secret to all problems my odd friend teamwork" Belford said as he laughed as he saw the two rangers vanish out of his world
AU: Ethan's Room
Lights flashed on Ethan's room culminating on a huge flash of blinding light and both him and Ethan were materialized into his room.
"Well I guess we're back" Kira said noticing her surroundings
Suddenly, Ethan's bracer started flashing.
"Dr. O! It's Ethan" Ethan said calling to his mentor
"Ethan! What happened? Your morpher signal and Kira's disappeared for a while there is everything okay?" Tommy replied
"Dr. O did they finally answered?" Conner's voice also ringed
"Yes we are fine nothing we couldn't handle" Ethan said confidently giving Kira another high five
"What happened are you guys hurt?" Tommy asked concerned
"Nothing to be worried Dr. O but after today I think I'll take a much needed break from video games" Ethan said as he and Kira laughed
