AN: OMG! I Killed Trent last Chap... oopsies. But don't worry, i'll make it up to you guys somehow.

This chapter is the bastard child of reviews and an a replay of FFX. It's gonna be a ride.

Q: "As always, Ultimuus doesn't own PR, or anything like that... He owns Sugimori though."

Chapter 11: Like Bahamut but meaner.

Kira grinned as she sat down in the front passenger seat of Sugimori's Lancer. It was like nothing she had ever seen before. The interior looked like the inside of a shuttlecraft from Space Trek.

"You like it?" Sugimori said, getting into the car and fastening the safety harness. "You need to fasten your harness..."

"Right," Kira said, fastening her safety harness, "This isn't stock stuff..."

"Nope, a lot of the tech in this car is stuff i fashioned myself...the Prototype Slipwarp drive is property of the GSF... but Mercer Industries have been trying to get it for themselves."

"Whoa," Kira said, running her hand over the gearshift.

"Hey," Sugimori said, "See that red button on the shifter? Never, EVER, touch that button."

"Right!" Kira said, releasing the shifter.

"Time to go...," Sugimori said, starting the car and pulling out of the driveway.

Mesogog's Lair

"The Prototype Engine is on the move..." Elsa said, "Master, do you want me to go retrieve it?"

"NO..." The mutated Dinosaur said, "It is a lost cause... but i believe that this would be the time to toy with the rangers..."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Wow," Kira said, looking around the VIP area she and Sugimori were seated at, "You do have connections."

"What i would do to just give them up, too," Sugimori said, "Running the most recognizable company next to Microsoft is fun, but very difficult. Especially when there are folks who want to take it all away."

"Why is that?" Kira said, "You seem like a good person to run a corporation."

"Just because someone seems to be the right person for the job," Sugimori said "Doesn't mean that the main shareholders agree with that statement... I have to finish high school, or my adopted mother gains total control of all my shares of the company."

"That's not right," Kira said.

"Oh well," Sugimori said, "It's something i never finished... I got caught up with computers and such."

Kira smiled. Sugimori was on the verge of losing his company, and he acted like it was nothing.

"So," Sugimori said, "What about you? Any Business ventures i need to know about?"

"No, but i have been writing some songs... one of these days, i'll let you look at 'em."

"Sounds good," Sugimori said.

Kira bit her lip, looking at Sugimori as if to read his soul.

"Whaat?" Sugimori said, looking over kira's features.

"Oh, nothing," Kira said, unconsciously scooting towards Sugimori.

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yeah," Kira said, kissing Sugimori on the lips, "I'm sure."

"Glad to know you are," Sugimori said, returning the kiss.

The rangers had drew a bad hand. Tommy had decided to let Kira and Sugimori have their date in peace,

That had turned out to be a bad idea, as Tommy, Ethan, and Conner were now demorphed and injured.

"We gotta do something," Ethan said, "We gotta call Kev and Kira."

"As much as i hate to do this," Tommy said, bringing his communicator to his lips, "Kev, this is Tommy."

"Yeah," Sugimori said, "What's wrong?"

"Hate to bust up your date, but Mesogog seems to be pissed... we're down for the count."

"That's ok," Sugimori said, "We just finished... We'll get there as soon as possible."

"Lemme guess," Kira said, "Duty calls?"

"Yep," Sugimori said, "Hey, Julio, the money for the food is at the table... something came up."

"Ok, Kev, have a good day, amigo," Julio said.

When they got out of the restaurant, they made it to the alley.

"Ready?" Sugimori said.

"Yeah."

"Dino Thunder!"

"White Ranger!"

"POWER UP!"

When the White and Yellow rangers made it to the scene, Mesogog was wreaking havoc.

After a while, Kira had joined the list of rangers out of action and demorphed, and Sugimori was getting there, his morph giving out.

"Damn...," Sugimori said, "You hurt my friends..."

Ripples of white and black energy coursed through Sugimori as his anger hit it's peak.

For a brief second, there was nothing, no sound, no movement, nothing...

Then, in an explosion of light, Sugimori let himself go.

What replaced him was a majestic sight indeed.

He had reverted to his Draconic form.

He was now a huge black dragon that stood on two feet like a human. His wings were black with subtly colored feathers, and between the wings was a row of spikes that ran down through the tail. He folded his arms over his chest and snarled in a way only a dragon could.

Mesogog stammered. He was Giant Sized himself, but this monster was at least a few feet taller than him.

"HOW..." Mesogog said, "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?"

"Simple," the new Sugimori said, his voice a whole lot meaner, "I'm like Bahamut... but meaner..."

The dragon swiped at Mesogog with a massive claw, making the evil being fall back.

"YEAH!" Kira said, staggering up to her feet, supported by Tommy, Ethan, and Conner, "Kick his ass!"

The dragon nodded and brought his right hand up, raising four balls of dark energy. The dragon fired the energy balls forward, nailing Mesogog head on.

"You may have won today," Mesogog said, retreating through an invisiportal, "But I will be back."

"Bring it on," Sugimori said, reverting to normal, "I don't discriminate... I'll kick your ass any day of the week."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When Sugimori dropped Kira off, he helped her in, telling her mom that she had a small fall, and that all she needed was rest.

When Sugimori made it to Kira's room, he helped her in, but when he turned to leave...

"Stay for a few minutes...," Kira said, "Wait here."

Kira changed into a nightshirt with yellow pterodactyls on it.

"Nice shirt," Sugimori said, "It fits your job quite well."

"Thanks," Kira said, "Kev, You were in the StarFyre Project, weren't you?"

"Yep," Sugimori said, "So were you."

"I know," Kira said, "I never said thanks..."

"You don't have to, Kira," Sugimori said, "To see that you are still alive, that makes everything make sense."

Kira blushed. They had only known each other for about a week and they had hit it off this well.

"I gotta go," Sugimori said, wrapping his large arms around Kira's frame, "I'll see you at Tommy's tomorrow for training."

"OK," Kira said, absorbing the warmth of Sugimori, "Sounds good."

"Love ya," Sugimori said, kissing Kira on the lips."

"I," Kira said between breaths as she continued the kiss, "Love you, too."

As they kissed, the two didn't notice a very visible ghost nod and walk away, smiling.

AN: Yay! A Lovey dovey end to the chapter. Yes, Trent is dead, but, as everybody knows, Reefside is a city full of ghosts.

Sorry it took me so long, I have been busy lately, and i got hurt on monday. But I'm back... even though my back is sore. Dun worry... I will be fine.

Here's a question... I have a template for a possible Hueg Dragon form for Tommy... But should i use it? THat is up to you, the reviewers. Tell me in the reviews... enough replies of the appropriate type will make it happen.

The next chapter is gonna be fun.

Next time: Kira finds an old picture of Sugimori in the white ranger armor and gets curious. When Mesogog finds out, he uses an old time-machine prototype to bring an old enemy of Tommy's to try to defeat both the Black and the White Rangers. Can the other rangers help the two brothers?

Next Chapter: Chapter 12: Best Left Forgotten.
