AN: Yay... Chap nine... I actually haves some ideas. As for continuity... this chap would take place a little bit after Trent became good again. Warning. In the next chapter or two, there will be transferring of powers, and all that stuff.
Also, thanx to those who reviewed story. I preciate it.
Disclaimer of DEWM: I don't own Power Ranger, Trek, or anything else that is licensed and trademarked to a big company. I do own Sugimori, Jannette, and any non canon stuff that sounds weird. However, i would love to own PR, Trek, and possibly the world.
One more thing: Sugimori's White Ranger armor from last chapter was Tommy's Armor from MMPR the movie with the tigerzord symbol on it.
Chapter 9: Who Mourns for Zeltrax
2004
Dr. Tommy Oliver sighed as he looked at old photo albums. The highschool teacher vividly remembered his days as a power ranger, losing his ability to morph to his brother on one occasion.
Kevin Sugimori, his brother...
That was a person he hadn't been in touch with for the past almost 10 years. Tommy had sped through college, Met a nice girl named Hayley, and got a job at Anton Mercer Industries, working on a secret project.
He hadn't even heard from Kim in the last ten years. How was she? It really didn't matter. The letter that Kim had sent him still hurt him, though the pain was almost gone.
Almost... but Hayley had made him feel better.
After he relinquished his powers and gave them to TJ, Tommy began college and met Hayley Viktor, a beautiful woman who could make computers follow her every whim. That was who Tommy wanted to be with, but as he was when he was with Kim, he couldn't get up the nerve to ask her out.
Some things never change.
"Dr. O," Kira Ford said, walking down into Dino Ops, "You wanted to see me?"
"Yeah," Tommy said, "I've been working on some new upgrades for the team, I was thinking of an upgrade that allows you and Trent's Zords to combine. It would make the job a tad bit easier."
"Nah," Kira said, "I mean, Trent's cool and all, but... i really don't like him much anymore. . ."
"What's wrong?"
"He's becoming a little bit possessive... it's like he doesn't want anyone to even look at me the wrong way."
"That would be a whole lot possessive," Tommy said.
"Dr. O, I'm scared," Kira said, "I don't think all the evil was drained out of him."

A black Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII tore down the interstate, the decals denoting as the personal car of the owner of the multi-million-dollar company SugimoriCorp.
"Damn, those things are slow," Kevin Sugimori said, scratching his black goatee, "Time to leave them in the dust."
The swordsman pressed a button on his dashboard, and the import car sped down the street, leaving a schism of energy behind it.
"We lost him, lord Mesogog," Elsa said, from one of the cars. "It's like that car didn't want to be caught."
When the car slowed down, it entered the City Limits of a town known as Reefside.
As the car entered, Sugimori's dashboard began beeping. The warrior pressed a button, and a screen flipped up.
"Yeah, Geoff, what you got?"
"You have an apartment paid for and waiting for you, Master Kevin," Geoff, Sugimori's butler said, "Also, you are to report to Reefside High School on Monday morning for your first day of school."
"Geoff, I'm 19, almost 20... I don't-"
"Don't feed me that line of Bull, Kevin," Geoff said, "You don't even have your Diploma. Just graduate so you don't have to worry about Williams or your adoptive mother taking it public."
"Fine," Sugimori said, "My apartment is on seventh street, right?"
"Yes Sir," Geoff replied, "1337 Seventh Street, and your apartment number is 356."
Sugimori inwardly grinned at the street number.
"Keep the cave up and running while I'm in Reefside," Sugimori said, "I don't want people thinking that i ain't coming back."
"You are one of the wealthiest men in the world, Master Kevin, yet you still mess up on grammar."
"I attribute it to my raising," Sugimori said, "I'm there."
"Just remember," Geoff said, grinning, "Your car is the only one with blue tail lights. Don't go too speed hungry. You could tear the fabric of space/time.
"I'll be careful."

Monday.
Kevin Sugimori grinned as he walked through the threshold of Reefside High School, one of the best schools in western California.
His classes were fairly easy for him, but one class in particular piqued his interest. 1st period science with T. Oliver.
As the swordsman walked into the class, Tommy recognized his brother almost immediately, but kept his knowledge under wraps.
"Class, This is Kevin Sugimori, He just moved to Reefside," Tommy said, "You can sit anywhere you want."
Sugimori sat beside a girl wearing a yellow shirt, a mesh undershirt, a blue jean skirt, and dark black boots.
"Hi," The girl said, "My name's Kira."
"Howdy," Sugimori said, his gruff scottish/ southern accent catching kira off guard, "The name's Kevin."
"Don't get any ideas," Trent said, glaring knives at Sugimori, "She's mine."
"Back off, monkeyboy," Sugimori said, glaring bazookas back at Trent, "I'm just sitting by her, not beaming her up and zooming across the galaxy in a ship."
Trent struck out at Sugimori, not expecting the other man to get up, grab his arm, and flip him over the tables, sending his face into the tiles on the floor.
"You're lucky," Sugimori said, "That was just a warning. Next time you do something stupid like that, they're gonna need a whole fleet of ships just to stop me from crushing you."
"Kev," Tommy said, "That's enough. I think you scared him enough with the arm-drag take down."
"Sorry," Sugimori said, sighing, "I still get carried away sometimes."
At the end of the day, after school was over, Sugimori walked to his car. As he got near, he felt someone hit him in the back of the head.
"Sorry," Sugimori said, turning around, "No one's home."
"What the hell are you?" Trent said, "You aren't human!"
"That's the smartest thing I've heard you say all day, Mr. Fernandez," Sugimori said, "Right now, I'm pissed."
Before Trent could attack Sugimori again, Sugimori had him on the ground, his massive size 23 boot causing damage to the white clad teen's chest.
"I'm a dragon, if you were wondering about the big foot. Not all dragons have such big feets, but I'm proud of mine. They get me everywhere i need to be.
Kira ran to the scene with the others just in time to see Sugimori let his foot off of the hurt trent.
"Get. Up,"Sugimori said, helping Trent up, "I think you've taken enough punishment for your anger. Anger can be a good thing, but you must harness it, and don't let it control you. I would put some ice on those ribs. Don't do too much strenuous activities, they might compound your injuries."
"You just wiped the floor with me, and now you're treating me like a friend, but why?" Trent asked, in wonder.
"It is human nature for someone to overly protect the one they love, or lust after for that matter. I am not mad at you for attacking me, that actually shows courage. You have great potential, you just need to get your head out of your ass, get your priorities straight... right now, a girl needs not be your priority."
Kira stood in awe as she heard Sugimori talk. He seemed to be wise beyond his years. She thought that the man looked cute, long, raven black hair, a full black ensemble, and a face that made him look about 18.
"Kira," Trent said, chuckling, "you're staring at him."
"I know," Kira said.

"The rangers have found the one with the prototype engine...," Mesogog said, "Elsa, Zeltrax, it's time to test out my new invention... I call it the Morphing Grid Disruptor... the MGD. If a ranger is hit with it, he or she will lose all ties to the morphing grid. Use it and obtain the White Dino Gem. Get the engine too."
"Yes, my lord..."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So, Where's a good place to hang out?" Sugimori said, getting ready to unlock his car door.
"Hayley's Cyberspace," Kira said, "I'll ride with you and show you the way."
"Aw...," Elsa said, arriving with Tyrannodrones and Zeltrax, "The new kid and the yellow ranger like each other."
"Lolwut?" Sugimori said, "You must be a bad guy... because that's the only reason she'd be the Yellow Ranger... I... draw a bad crowd..."
The rangers morphed, but Sugimori stood beside them, drawing a sword from his coat.
"Well, Tommy, who gets what?" Sugimori said, looking at the Black Ranger.
"I dunno, you choose who you attack, you're the one with the crazy powerful sword."
"Cool"
As the fight ensued, with the rangers fighting the drones and Sugimori fighting Zeltrax, Elsa aimed the MGD and fired...
... At Trent
Time seemed to go in slow motion. Sugimori kicked Zeltrax into a tree, making him go through an invisiportal. The drones fell, but before anyone could help Trent, the white Drago Ranger was hit with the full force of the blast.
Trent lost his morph, the white Dino Gem flying through the air.
"Oh, Bitch...," Sugimori said, running for the flying gem, "You fail now."
Elsa leaped at it.
Sugimori jumped for it...
Elsa fired beams from her sword, trying to stop Sugimori, but the beams didn't faze him much.
"Almost there..." Sugimori said, at the same level as Elsa...
To be continued.
AN: Sugimori is about 7' 1" tall, and can walk as if he were light as a feather, though he is surprisingly heavy. He is built, however, so all his weight pretty much comes from muscle.
Sorry about the Cliffhanger. I hate doing those, but it seemed like fun timing.
Oh, a collaboration for anyone who can tell me the names of the episodes i have shopped for names. I love
Elsa has fired the Morphing Grid Disruptor, and has stripped Trent of his powers. Who will get the Gem?
