Consequences
AU: Lakeside
Kira was sitting in the shore of the lake with her guitar lying down next to her right side and a notebook on her left side
"Looking back, I don't regret. One single day, Memories will keep me close…" Kira sang as she tried coming up with other lyrics for her new song
*Rustle*
The sound of leaves being stepped on startled the yellow ranger and she turned around to face the intruder in combat stance only to reveal Trent standing wobbly in front of her.
"Oh hey Trent sorry you startled me" Kira apologized as she relaxed herself
"Sorry just came here to clear my head I can leave" Trent said as he tried leaving
"No!" Kira yelled before looking away and laughing nervously. "I mean I don't own this spot so we can share if you want"
"Oh well thanks" Trent laughed nervously as well as he took a seat next to the yellow ranger
"So wanna tell me why you've been acting weird these past couple days we are worried about you" Kira said concerned
"You wouldn't be if you knew the full story" Trent replied ashamed
"Trent no matter what it may be we will always be there to help you" Kira said
Trent sighed and handed her his sketchbook confusing her
Kira looked at him with a questioning expression until he nodded at her for her to open the sketchbook
Kira obliged with the request and upon opening the sketchbook she saw several pictures of the White Ranger drawn
"Trent if you want to be a superhero I don't think the White Ranger is the best role model for that" Kira said sarcastically
"It's a little more complicated than that" Trent said to her once more confusing her
Kira stared at him until he sighed pulling up the sleeve of one of his arms revealing the dino bracer with the White Dino Gem
"You?! You almost destroyed me!" Kira roared as she stood up startled readying herself for combat
"Please no I don't want to fight you. I don't want to fight at all I just want to get this thing removed. Its controlling my actions and I cant stop it" Trent pleaded
"Why should I believe you?"
"Because I would never harm anybody specially you Kira"
"Alright stay here I'll get Conner and Ethan to help with this"
"Why them?"
Kira grinned at him causing him to stare at her wide eyed as the realization dawned upon him
"You mean they are too?"
"Now you know why we started hanging out out of the blue"
"We wont take long just stay here"
Trent nodded as she disappeared with her things in her Moped
AU: Dino Thunder HQ
Kira arrived to Tommy's house leaving her moped on the driveway before heading into the HQ where Conner and Ethan were currently sparring while Haley worked on Tommy's condition
"Guys we need to talk" Kira said
Upon hearing this Conner was distracted from the current spar which Ethan noticed
Taking advantage of the lapse in concentration, the blue ranger landed a two handed blow to the right leg of the red ranger knocking him down
"Guess its my win" Ethan said confidently
"Aww man" Conner complained as he stood up
"What's the matter Kira?" Haley asked as she approached the yellow ranger
"It's the White Ranger, I know who he is" Kira said shocking everyone in the room
AU: Moments later
"Oh man that's rough" Ethan said as he finished hearing Kira's story
"I don't know what to do here. He's our friend but look at what he did to Dr. O" Conner said confused
"He says the gem is forcing him to do it" Kira repeated
"I know Kira, but if the gem's only going stronger who knows what he'll be able to do later" Conner replied
"We cant abandon Trent he's our friend" Kira replied not believing Conner's words
"So are you guys and in good conscience I cant say lets jump in head first with no plan" Conner replied back
The two stood glaring at each other the tension growing by the second in the room until Carlos and a woman looking like she was in her mid 20s wearing a white jacket walked into the room.
"Man you weren't kidding Carlos, Tommy definitely knows how to pick them" The woman told Carlos who laughed in response
"Well call it ranger intuition" Carlos said in between laughs which shocked the three rangers
"Okay timeout can someone explain me whats going on here?" Conner asked confused
"Sure short version guys this is Alyssa Enrile she will be your teaching sub while we get Tommy back" Carlos explained
"Coach that's all good and everything but I believe he was referring more to the-" Ethan began trying to ask
"Why I know about the rangers?" Alyssa asked earning nods from everyone in the room save for Carlos and Haley
"Simple I was the White Wild Force ranger Noble Tiger at your service" the former ranger vowed in respect at the three earning shocks from them
"Woah that's awesome, finally another female ranger!" Kira said as she stared in awe
"Am I really the first one you met?" Alyssa asked confused glaring at Carlos
Carlos staggered as he replied nervously "Hey its not my fault, Ashley and Cassie are somewhere in space now, Maya, Karone and Kendrix as well, Dana is at the new aquabase, Kelsey is doing something extreme out there, Jen is on her honeymoon and you know how scary she can be and Katie almost crushed my spine last time she saw me with a hug"
"You are so lucky Taylor is flying in the air force now so you have a point, I guess we really are just busier than you guys" Alyssa replied
"Phew so whats the issue team?" Carlos sighed in relief
"You may wanna sit down for this one coach" Conner warned as they explained the full story to the two former rangers
After hearing the story, the two smiled at each other.
"Well sounds like you reached that stage of your ranger journey" Carlos explained
"What do you mean coach?" Conner asked
"Every ranger team before you has somewhat experienced what you are going through now" Alyssa explained
"Basically an evil ranger, ironically the one who started that trend is…" Carlos said as he pointed to Tommy encased in amber
"Oh yeah that's right Dr. O was controlled by Rita Repulsa to do her bidding" Ethan remembered
"Yep and after that time he got controlled by King Mondo he doesn't have the best track record honestly and after that Jason and Kimberly got controlled by an evil giant demon called Maligore, and Andros tried attacking us and basically throwing us to space when we first met him and the magna defender tried the same on the galaxy rangers team, and Ryan did the same to the lightspeed rescue team, Eric was not the best good guy to Wes and the Time force rangers, and the Thunder rangers sure gave the ninja storm team a run for their money"
"Okay we get the point Carlos" Haley practically yelled trying to stop his ranting
"Point he's trying to make is take it from my own experience my team had to deal with an enemy called Zen-Aku who we didn't know was actually an ally of our mentor named Merrick who would then become the silver wolf ranger" Alyssa began narrating
"But you saved him didn't you?" Kira asked
"Yes we did but it wasn't easy he stole our zords and beat us up time and time again until we thought our only choice was to destroy him; however deep down we knew it wasn't the right thing to do. So even though we knew it could destroy us we tried to save him and now he gets to live his life freed from that curse" Alyssa explained
"Anyone wants to tell me the lesson in that story? Conner?" Carlos asked knowing too well the rangers knew the answer
"Yeah, Trent is not guilty for his actions so we should try helping him no matter the cost" Conner replied
"Cause that's what rangers do" Kira finished the statement for him
AU: Lakeshore
Trent sat down watching the lake as he tried drawing to distract his mind from his troubles, when suddenly he was ambushed by a hoard of tyrannodrones
"Get off me" Trent roared as the White Gem took over him and morphed into the White Ranger
"You looking to find your own demise?!" The White ranger said as he readied his dagger
"Ahh I needed to know for myself, this is too perfect" Mesogog said as he emerged from the crowd of his minions
"So the boss came down to play I should be flattered" The White Ranger said as he pointed the dagger at Mesogog
"hahaha calm down Trent simmer down boy, this is merely a business meeting" Mesogog said startling the White Ranger
"How did you know my name?"
"Ah I see part of you is still in there deep down, I want you to join our side"
"Not happening I don't work in groups"
"Well that's too bad then I could've shown you how to control your little Jekyll/Hyde problem, but well offer still stands if you are interested later" having said that Mesogog left the white ranger perplexed
"Well now I'm angry too bad for the precious city, Dragozord Stegazord!" The White Ranger summoned the two zords and quickly combines them to form the Dino Stegazord and began heading over to the city.
AU: Dino Thunder HQ
*Beep* Beep *Beep*
The signal alarmed the rangers and the rest of the team of the attack the White Ranger was currently launching to the city.
"Well nobody knocking some sense to him would be easy" Carlos said to which Alyssa and Haley nodded
Conner looked at Kira and Ethan who nodded in response to the Red Ranger
"Dino Thunder Power Up Ha!" The three teens yelled as they morphed into their respective suits
"We are going to need some serious fire power for this battle" Conner said as they headed towards the Zords hangar
"I think I got you guys covered on that keep him busy and I'll send you a reinforcement" Haley said as she began entering data on the computers activating the zords for the rangers
AU: Quarry
"Thundersaurus Megazord Online!" Ethan said as the Megazord stood tall the Dino Stegazord now on sight
"Trent!" Kira yelled trying to get the White Ranger to come to his senses
"Sorry he's on indefinite vacation right now. Take this Dino Stega Lasers fire!" The White Ranger commanded as the megazord shot a laser hitting the rangers on the megazords chest sparks flying everywhere
"Try this on for size Ptera Rang!" Kira said as the megazord launched the attack towards the Dino Stegazord hitting in the head
"You'll pay for that!" The White ranger yelled
"Oh yeah how about this Tricera punch" Ethan said as the megazord launched a punch towards the White Ranger's megazord
"Sorry not this time" The White Ranger said as his megazord grabbed blocked the punch and retaliated with a tail strike sweeping the leg of the Thundersaurus megazord
"Haley some backup would be useful about now!" Conner said
"Sorry for the delay guys meet your new ally the Ankylozord" Haley's voice was heard as from the ground emerged a orange Dinozord with a drill like tail
The White Ranger spotted the new zord and attempted to grab possession of the new zord by grabbing its tail
"Oh no you wont" Ethan said as he commanded the zord to grab the new zord's head
The Ankylozord spun both its tail and and claws in retaliation slightly damaging and knocking back both zords
"Easy guys I think I got this one" Conner said as he lifted his morpher
"Ankylozord!" the red ranger yelled as both his morpher and the zord's eyes lit up finalizing the synchronization
"Alright lets do this Thundersaurus Megazord Double Drill mode!"
The Ankylozord attached itself replacing the Triceratops on the megazord
"New toy wont make a difference take this!" The White Ranger said as he launched a laser attack
"Oh yeah how about this deflector shield" Kira said as the zord blocked the laser attack with the Ankylozord's spinning defense
"What how did you-" The White Ranger attempted to exclaim only to be cut short
"Double drill strike go!" Conner said as the zord slashed the Dino Stegazord with both drills sparks flying everywhere
"Argh! This isn't over!" The White Ranger exclaimed as he retreated from the battlefield
AU: Hours later Riverside
"Trent!" Kira yelled as she rushed to the riverside
"Kira wait up!" Conner yelled super speeding until he was next to her while Ethan was breathing hard as he tried catching up with them
"He's not here" Kira said as she looked at the scattered drawings on the grass
"We'll get him back somehow" Conner said as the three looked at the distance
