"Pink Ranger Power!" Katherine cried softly. The suit covered her, but disappeared when she hit the ground.

"Oh, my leg," she grunted, clutching the injured limb.

"KAT!" Mick yelled.

"Down here!" Katherine called.

"You all right?" he questioned.

"I wrenched my leg," was her answer.

"Stay there. I'm gonna come to you," he told her.

"No. Get help," she said, attempting to stand. However, the pain in her ankle was too great, and she fell back on the ground.

"I'm not leaving you," Mick declared. There was another explosion and the officer jumped to the side.

"Mick!" Katherine shouted.

"What's the matter? Is your little boyfriend gone?" a voice mocked. Katherine gasped and watched as Elsa, Goldar, Scorpina, and some Putties suddenly materialized.

"Oh, man. Those are the monsters that the Power Rangers fight," Mick said.

"Well, duh," Scorpina replied. "ATTACK!" she screamed. The Putties immediately obeyed the command, and Mick used his police training to fend them off. Gragon and Mesogog watched in satisfaction.

"Perfect," Mesogog hissed.

"Completely. But of course, we don't want the other Rangers to save their friend too quickly," Gragon stated. Then, the two villains noticed a beetle crawling on the floor.

"How did that insect get in here?" Mesogog growled. He started to strike, but Gragon quickly rescued it.

"What are you doing?" Mesogog asked.

"We can make a monster out of this," Gragon answered.

"I don't think it'll work, but you're welcome to give it a shot," Mesogog said. Gragon put the bug in the machine and seconds later, a full-sized monster came out.

"Power Rangers! I want to destroy the Power Rangers!" it roared.

"Then, go," was the command. The monster used an invisaportal, and soon appeared outside of the city. Almost immediately, the alarm in Tommy's lab began to blare.

"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi! Katherine and Officer Soul are in trouble and Gragon's sent down a beetle monster!" Alpha 5 yelped.

"Contact the Rangers at once," Zordon said. Alpha did as he was told.

"Conner here. What's up?" Conner asked, answering the tone after ducking into a secluded corner.

"A beetle monster is destroying downtown Reefside and Kat's in trouble at Reefside Park," Alpha replied.

"I'll go to the beetle monster," Conner stated.

"We're right behind you, bro," he heard Ethan say.

"The rest of us will help Katherine and Mick," Jason proclaimed.

"Right," the others agreed.

"Dino Thunder, Power Up!" Conner, Kira, and Ethan chorused.

"White Ranger, Dino Power!" Trent called.

"Ninja Ranger Power!" Rocky, Adam, Aiesha, and Tommy called in unison.

"Mastodon!" Zack called.

"Pterodactyl!" Kimberly exclaimed.

"Triceratops!" Billy hailed.

"Saber-toothed Tiger!" Trini yelled.

"Tyrannosaurus!" Jason finished. The Dino Rangers teleported to downtown Reefside and the other Rangers teleported to the bluff. Mick panted as he wore down. Man, I can't---I can't take much more of this, he thought to himself. Suddenly, there was a kia. Mick watched as the Power Rangers joined the fight and effectively knocked the Putties back.

"My friend was knocked off the cliff and she hurt her ankle," Mick told them. The Pink Ranger gave out a cry and flipped down over the edge to where Katherine had began to fight the second batch of Putties despite the pain in her ankle.

"Kat!" the Pink Ranger exclaimed. "You're hurt. I'll make these clay-heads pay for this," she continued. Then, she went into the middle of the clay creatures and began pummeling them. Finally, they disappeared.

"Whoo. Man, these guys are tough," the Pink Ranger said, turning to her friend. "You okay?" she questioned in concern, steadying Katherine as her leg buckled.

"I'm all right. My ankle's a bit sore. I think I twisted it," Katherine responded.

"All right. I'm gonna teleport you up. Hang on," the Pink Ranger said.

"I'm ready," Katherine assured. Seconds later, they appeared at the top of the bluff.

"Kat!" Mick cried in relief. "You all right?" he asked.

"I'm fine. The Pink Ranger saved me," Katherine told him.

"Thanks. I appreciate it," Mick said.

"It was my pleasure," the Pink Ranger answered.

"Miss, are you okay?" the Red Ninja Ranger asked Katherine, noticing that she was favoring her right ankle.

"I'm okay," Katherine assured.

"She's hurt her ankle. I say we take her to our command center and have it looked at," the Pink Ranger said.

"But---" Katherine began to object.

"It's the least we can do to make it up to you. After all, you two got caught in the crossfire of our battle," the Black Ranger interrupted.

"Maybe you should go with them…just in case," Mick agreed. Katherine looked at him. I can't just leave him. They might come back, she thought to herself.

"Please? For me?" Mick insisted.

"All right," Katherine agreed. With that, she and the Rangers teleported away. Meanwhile, the Dino Rangers were busy with the beetle monster in the Thundersaurus Megazord.

"Man, I don't know how much longer I can hold on," the Blue Dino Ranger said.

"Come on. We can't give up. Reefside's depending on us," the Red Dino Ranger reminded them.

"He's right. We just have to keep at it," the Yellow Dino Ranger agreed. The monster lashed out, and the zord staggered. Then, energy came out of the monster's hands and enveloped the zord. With simultaneous cries, the Dino Rangers fell from the machine and to the ground. As soon as they landed, their uniforms faded from their bodies.

"Oh, jeez. Totally not good," Conner groaned.
