In the Cyber Café, the teen Rangers were all sitting at the counter, which Trent was behind, while Ethan was on his laptop. (Mei was on Kira's left)

"Check it out? It says here that brainwaves are just electrical impulses that have been converted into a binary language can be downloaded." Ethan said.

Conner and the girls looked unamused.

"Yeah, I read about that." Trent said. "It means your eyes can become the video cameras of the future?"

Ethan nodded.

"Geek TV." Conner said. "I wonder who'll become part of basic cable?"

Ethan turned back to his laptop.

At a nearby table, sat Cassidy and Devin, who was on a laptop.

"Come on, Devin?" Cassidy asked. "There must be some that hasn't been done to death? We need something big and something fresh?"

"Ooh. I got it. Check this out?" Devin said.

He turned his laptop around, showing a picture of a large pumpkin on a picture.

"'Woman in Iowa races a 250 pound pumpkin'?" Cassidy read.

"Well, Cas, you gotta admit, it's fresh and it's really big." Devin reasoned.

The doors suddenly opened up by two women, then a woman with black hair, wearing a red dress showed up in the doorway, who Cassidy spotted.

"Nikki Valentia!" she gasped.

The woman walked into the Cyber Café, getting awed looks from a lot of people.

"Oh, yeah? Right, Cas? Like the biggest TV star in the world's gonna come..." Devin said, before turning around to Nikki. "...here?"

Nikki looked around, waving her hair, getting more people's attention, including Kira's.

"Hey, isn't that the girl from Ocean Alert?" she asked.

"Huh?" Mei muttered.

They all turned around, all but Mei having their mouths open in shock, she however looked annoyed.

"The most probably television show of all time?" Ethan said, speechless.

Conner grinned widely.

"Does anyone have a brown paper bag?" Ethan asked. "I'm hyperventilating."

"Oh, brother." Mei grumbled, turning away.

Nikki walked closer to the counter, making an Asian boy take off his sunglasses, while a girl stopping drinking from the straw in her smoothie.

"Oh, wow." Trent said, as Nikki turned to him.

She turned back, all but Mei still watching her. Ethan began to breathe in a brown paper bag, but then lowered it as Nikki turned to him, making him smile. Nikki began to blink her left eye, when Hayley got in front of her, her hands together, smiling widely.

"Welcome to Hayley's Cyberspace." Hayley said. "What can I get you?"

"I'm just dying for a wheatgrass shake with twisted lemons." Nikki answered.

"Oh, sorry. We just ran out of wheatgrass." Hayley explained. "How 'bout a banana-berry smoothie?"

"Did I ask for a smoothie?" Nikki asked, ignorantly. "I'm fairly certain I asked for wheatgrass shake."

"And as I said, we-" Hayley began.

"Alright, I'll give you 100 dollars for it." Nikki said.

Mei turned around to her and Hayley.

"Figured she'd try that." she mumbled.

"I'm sorry." Hayley said. "You can't buy what I don't have."

"Listen, I don't know if you've noticed but I'm Nikki Valentina." Nikki said. "There is nothing I can't buy."

Hayley huffed and shook her head, getting sick of her.

"Never mind, I'm over this place." Nikki said.

She turned around to the door, when Cassidy got in front of her with her microphone.

"Ms. Valentina, Cassidy Cornell, Reefside reporter. I'm a huge fan." Cassidy explained, grinningly.

"Of course you are." Nikki huffed.

"Someday, I'm gonna be a big star too." Cassidy explained. "Expect, I'm gonna be a News Anchor. But like, maybe we could work together? I know, I could be an Ocean Alert."

"Honey, you better get yourself a new dream." Nikki scoffed. "'Cause being me, that's mine, and I'm not sharing."

She walked past Cassidy towards the door, as one of her girls opened it up.

"Let's go." she said.

The other girl handed Cassidy a picture before she followed the others.

"Ha! I could be you." Cassidy scoffed. "I could totally be you and I'm gonna prove it."

She looked at the picture, which was Nikki, with her signature on and a heart.

"'Heart, Nikki'." she read.

She threw it away in disgust, while Mei stared at her.

"That jerk." she mumbled.

"I have to meet her or my life will never be complete." Ethan said dreamily.

"I'll introduce you at our wedding." Conner promised dreamily, patting his shoulder.

Mei and Kira both turned to them.

"Oh, brother." Kira sighed.

"Guys, you two so don't wanna go there." Mei advised.

They all turned to her, along with Trent as he came over, drying his hands on a towel.

"What do you mean?" Ethan inquired.

"Guys, I know her way better than anyone in this room." Mei said. "My Uncle Louis keeps telling my brothers to not go ga-ga over her. She cares about nothing or nobody but herself and her looks, and she thinks money is everything. She'd never fall for you two."

She got up and walked off before anyone can argue.

"Okay, that's cold." Conner said, as Mei left the room. "How can she know Nikki Valentina when she's famous."

"Might be due to her Uncle." Ethan reasoned. "I wonder what he does? Still, she's never acted like that before."

"Still, you saw how she acted towards Hayley." Kira reasoned. "Maybe Mei has a point."

Trent snapped out his thoughts and approached the trio.

"My shift is officially over." he said. "Ready to go?"

Kira smiled and got up.

"Where are you two headed?" Ethan asked, as Trent threw the towel down.

"Trent's gonna show me some sketches he's done for the cover of my demo." Kira explained.

Ethan and Conner both smiled as Trent's phone rang.

"See ya." Ethan said, turning around.

Conner did the same as Trent took out his phone and looked at it, seeing it was his Dad, then he sighed and put it away.

"Bummer." he muttered quietly.

"Let me guess, your Dad?" Kira assumed.

"Yeah, he needs me at home." Trent sighed. "I'm really sorry."

He walked off, leaving Kira upset, before she followed him.

"I'm gonna check on Mei." she said.

"Okay." Trent said. "See ya."

Once outside, Trent walked off to his left, while Kira saw Mei on her right, sitting on a bench, who she approached.

"You okay?" Kira asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Mei assured. "I just can't believe everyone fell for Nikki's looks."

"Just how do you know better than anyone here?" Kira asked, sitting down beside her.

"My Uncle Louis, he works as a producer behind the scenes." Mei explained. "And like I said, Nikki is the one girl you don't wanna befriend. She maybe nice on camera, but off camera, she's like what I said. Every time my Uncle comes over to visit, he keeps telling us how self-centred she really is."

"I think Conner and Ethan are gonna learn that the hard way then." Kira said.

Mei nodded. "Mm-mm." she muttered, folding her arms.


In the Dino Lab, Tommy was sitting behind the computer, which was scanning for a new Dinozord Egg.

"I know you're out there." he said. "If my calculations are correct, you should be bout ready to hatch. But where?"

He began to type to do a better scan.


In Mesagog's lab, Zeltrax and Elsa stood by the Geno-Randomizer, as the door opened up, and Mesagog came in.

"Zeltrax, report?" he asked.

Zeltrax and Elsa both turned around to him.

"My lord, we have just finished a new genetic creation called Megalador." Zeltrax explained. "We combined the cunning elements of a shark with the toxicity of the oleander flower."

"Then we threw in some extra car parts for fun." Elsa explained.

"Well, let's see it." Mesagog said, as Elsa typed on the keyboard.

"Geno-Randomiser engage." Elsa said, pushing the lever up.

She and Zeltrax watched as the three jars in it got moved up, putting them in their glass casings. They all turned to the chamber, as stream came into it, then its doors opened up, and then Megalador came out.

"It worked." Zeltrax said.

Megalador looked around, which had the car parts on his hips, flowers on his head and legs, while the shark was the rest of him.

"Fools!" Mesagog hissed.

He walked towards the Geno-Randomiser.

"What we need are better raw-materials." he said.

The monitor screen began to show a beach with nearby cliffs.

"We need to find the perfect specimen." Mesagog said.

He pressed buttons on the panel, then the screen changed.

A black-haired woman in a red swimsuit helped a man along the beach, holding a rescue tube.

"Hmm? Strong? Brave. She's the one." Mesagog said.

The man fell down and turned onto his back, as the woman crouched down beside him.

"Zeltrax." Mesagog said, as Elsa huffed.

"Yes, master?" Zeltrax said.

"Send your creature...to fetch me that woman!" Mesagog ordered.

"And what if the Power Rangers interfere, Master?" Zeltrax inquired.

Mesagog turned around to him.

"That's what Tyrannodrones are for!" he snarled.

He huffed and walked off.


At the beach, the woman stood up, as it was a scene for Ocean Alert.

"Cut!" the Director yelled.

The woman turned around showing she was a man, as she was Nikki's stunt double, taking off his fake wig as he did.

"We're done with the double." the Director said.

Nikki came over and pushed her stuntman away, wearing the same outfit as him.

"Okay, I'll take it from here." she said.

She turned and smiled at the camera, while waving her left hand through her hair.

"Overrated diva!" the stuntman grumbled, walking off.

He walked past the crew, which included Louis Chang, who stood behind a camera, looking annoyed slightly. Unknown to any of them, the Dinozord Egg was nearby, buried in the sand near a large sea rock.


In the Dino Lab, Tommy remained sat at the computer, when the words 'Emegency Overdrive' flashed on the screens.

"Almost got it." he said, before the screens changed. "Huh?"

A bunch of Tyrannodrones chased a bunch of people down a set of steps in the city.

"Guys, we have some Tyrannodrones Downtown." Tommy explained, before the screen changed.

Megalador showed up at the beach via an Invisiportal.

"And have a little problem at the beach." Tommy added.


A little later, the teen Rangers all arrived Downtown.

"Come on, guys." Conner said.

They all stopped and saw the Tyrannodrones chasing people, who screamed.

"AHH!" some cried.

"Whoa! This is just like some bad low-budget movie." Ethan said.

"Only this is for real, Ethan." Kira said.

"Oh, yeah. Right." Ethan understood.

They all charged in and began to fight.

Ethan rammed one as it chased after a couple, grabbing it, then he spun around and threw it away. He ducked as another ran past and tried to hit him with its tentacle arm, then he leaned back to dodge another's before a third kicked his chest, knocking him back. He ducked as one ran past him, then crossed his forearms over to block another's arm, using his Dino power to hold it.

"AH!" he grunted.

He raised his arms up and knocked the Tyrannodrone away, which hit another two.

Mei ducked and ran past one as it tried to whack her with its tentacle, then she jumped and kicked another's chest, knocking it down. She turned and blocked the first's arm with her hands, before she grabbed it and flipped it onto its back, then she spun around and kicked a third's chest, knocking it down and away.

Conner jumped and kicked ones chest, then turned to kick another as he landed, but missed by inches, but then he spun around and kicked its arm. He turned and kicked another while dodging a third's tentacle, then blocked its arm with his forearm. He then blocked a fourth's kick with his hands, before hitting the third's tentacle away with his hand.

Kira grabbed ones arm and spun around to kick another, but missed, then she raised the first's arm up while moving past it, then kicked a third away. She raised the first's arm up again and flipped it over, while doing a sideways handspring, then she kicked a fourth's chest.

Ethan sent a jump spin kick at one, knocking it down before he landed on his feet, then he spun around as another fell over. He raised his arms up to block twos arms, using his metal arms to knock them away, then he kicked another away. He charged forward and banged another with his right arm, sending it flying away.

Mei ducked as one tried to punch her, before she ran past it, then kicked its back while not looking at it, knocking it down. She turned as another two came at her, but then she split kicked them both, before she put her hands on the ground and split kicked another two behind her. She got to her feet, then turned as one tried to stab her with her tentacle, but missed as she flipped over it, twirling around as she did, before she kicked its back, knocking it down.

Conner blocked ones tentacle with his forearm, then blocked another's with both his forearms, before grabbing its arm, locking them together.

"Whoa!" he yelped.

He did a backwards handspring away, kicking both their arms as he did, then he turned and punched a third's chest, then jumped slightly and scissor kicked the first two. The third then tried to slash him with its tentacle, but missed as he used his superspeed to dash towards several more behind him, then he whacked ones arm and kicked another's back, knocking it down.

Kira kicked ones back while holding another's arm, then raised it up while getting past it, then she elbowed its chest. She blocked its and another's arm with her own, then blocked a punch from the first, before ducking to avoid a punch from the third, before punching its chest. She then kicked the first's chest, knocking it down, then she cried out her Ptera Scream, hitting four more, knocking them down.


Back at the beach, the crew of Ocean Alert all stood together, or sat at plastic tables nearby, as the Director closed the script book.

"Okay, that's Lunch folks." he said. "Make it one hour."

The crew all began to walk off, including Louis.

"Man, am I hungry." he said.

"Okay." a man said.

"Who wants...?" a woman said.

Above the set, was a small hut, were outside, Nikki was lying down on a long chair.

"Oh, finally. It's just me and my tan." she sighed.

She turned her head slightly, when Megalador showed up in front of her, sniggering.

"Time for your close-up, Ms. Valentina." he smirked, as Nikki woke up.

"AGHH!" she screamed, sitting up.

Megalador came over and tried to grab her arms.

"Ow! Get away from me!" she demanded, pulling her hands away. "My nails! I just got French tips!"

"You're about to get a makeover you'll never forget." Megalador smirked, grabbing her forearm.

He turned and pulled Nikki up off her chair, when Tommy came running towards them.

"Come with me?" Megalador said.

Tommy jumped and kicked his chest, knocking him down, letting Nikki go.

"Ah!" Megalador moaned.

"Oh!" Nikki yelped, looking at her nails. "Oh..."

"Oh, man. I hate shark monsters." Tommy said, as Megalador reminded him of Slippery Shark, which had made him and his best friend Jason fight each other. "You alright?"

"Great! Where am I gonna find someone to fix my nails without an appointment?" Nikki complained.

She walked past Tommy ungratefully, who turned to her, as Megalador got up, making Tommy turn back around.

"Yah!" he shouted, getting ready to fight.


In Downtown, the teen Rangers all gathered together and stared at the Tyrannodrones.

"Who released the hounds?" Ethan said.

"I know who's putting them back where they belong. Ready?" Conner asked, holding his wrist up.

"Ready!" the others said, as their held their wrists up.

Their bracelets turned into their morphers.

"Dino Thunder Power Up, ha!"

(Morph sequence)

Mei pressed her morpher's button, then lowered her arms as the foot symbol appeared on her chest. She then back flipped through the air, morphing up, then she landed in her position, then her helmet appeared on her, then she did her pose as her Dinozord roared behind her.

"Campto!" she shouted. "Hyah!"

Ethan pressed his morpher's button, then lowered his arms as the foot symbol appeared on his chest. He then back flipped through the air, morphing up, then he landed in her position, then his helmet appeared on him, then he did his pose as his Dinozord roared behind him.

"Tricera!" he shouted. "Hyah!"

Conner pressed his morpher's button, then lowered his arms as the foot symbol appeared on his chest. He then back flipped through the air, morphing up, then he landed in her position, then his helmet appeared on him, then he did his pose as his Dinozord roared behind him.

"Tyranno! Hyah!" he shouted.

Kira pressed her morpher's button, then lowered her arms as the foot symbol appeared on her chest. She then back flipped through the air, morphing up, then she landed in her position, then her helmet appeared on her, then she did her pose as her Dinozord roared behind her.

"Ptera! Hyah!" she shouted.

(End morph sequence)

They all got ready to fight, as the Tyrannodrones charged at them all.

"Let's do it!" Conner said, charging back.

"Yeah!" Ethan said, as they followed.

"Yeah!" Kria said.

"Yeah!" Mei said.

"Tricera Shield!" Ethan shouted, spinning around while holding it, knocking a Tyrannodrone away.

He turned and kicked another's chest, then hit a third's chest with his shield, then whacked a fourth's chest with it, before kicking a fifth away.

Kira did a sideways handspring past one, then did a backwards one as it tried to hit her arms with its own, then she did another past some more. She got up and spun around, kicking twos tentacle arms, then she ducked and spun around again, tackling them both, before she got up.

"Ptera Grips!" she shouted, bringing them out.

Mei dodged as one tried to stab her, before she stabbed its chest with her Campto Lance, then she spun around and kicked another's belly, knocking it down. She then blocked a third's kick with her lance, then raised it to block a fourth's tentacle arm, before she slashed them both with it across the chest.

Conner waved his Tyranno Staff around as one tried to kick him, then he knocked its leg down with his staff, before putting it under its arm. He then kicked its side, knocking it down, when another kicked him in the back.

"Oh!" he yelped, rolling over.

He stopped on his back, then blocked ones leg with his foot, before kicking another away, then he blocked the first's foot with his staff, before pushing its leg away. He got up and kicked another away as it came at him, knocking it down.

Kira blocked ones tentacle with her right grip, followed by several more, then waved both her grips around to block some more. She waved them both out, then crossed them over, then stretched her arms out, slashing one with each grip, while also kicking a third.

Ethan put his shield on ones back and flipped over it.

"Yeah!" he said.

He dodged and grabbed ones arm as it tried to stab him, locking it with another's, then he knocked their arms up with his shield. He elbowed the first one, then hit the other with his shield, knocking it away.

Mei spun around and whacked ones leg with her lance, tripping it up onto its back, then she turned and blocked another's tentacle with it.

"Nice try!" Mei smirked.

She raised her lance up, knocking it back, then she kicked its chest, then spun around and slashed another three across the chest as they came at her, knocking them all down.

Conner threw his staff at two in front of him.

"Think fast?" he joked.

He ran forward and kicked ones chest, then pulled his leg back and kicked the other, then kicked his staff up.

"I'll take that." he said.

He caught his staff and spun around, slashing them both across the chest, knocking them down, before he stared at several more.

"Come on?" he dared.

The Tyrannodrones all vanished via an Invisiportal, as the four Rangers gathered together. (Mei was on Ethan's right)

"That got 'em." Kira said.

"For now anyhow." Mei said.

"Yeah." Ethan whooped.

"Dr. O, we're heading to the beach." Kira explained, putting her morpher to her mouthpiece.


At the beach, Tommy kicked Megalador's arm slightly, who then punched his belly, but then Tommy kicked his chest, knocking him away.

"AH!" Megalador roared, shooting a blast from his hand.

Tommy gasped and jumped over the barrier on his left, as the blast hit the area, creating sparks.

"Dino Thunder Power Up, ha!"

He morphed up while somersaulting forward, before he landed crouched down.

"That was close." he said, getting up. "Huh?"

He turned right and saw his students coming towards him on a path.

"Dr. O." Conner said, as they stopped.

"You okay?" Kira asked.

Nikki came out of a door from the bottom of the small building beneath the hut, which they all turned too, as she looked at her nails.

"Hey, it's Nikki." Conner said.

"Oh, you gotta be kidding me?" Mei mumbled, turning away, folding her arms.

Nikki looked at her nails as Conner began to approach her.

"Check it out, baby." he said, as Ethan approached him. "It's all about the Red."

He pointed at Nikki, before Ethan knocked his arm down and got in front of him.

"Unless you prefer a kinder, gentler Power Ranger." Ethan said, putting his hand on his chin.

"What?" Conner said, annoyed.

Due to them all being distracted, they didn't notice Megalador above them behind the barrier.

"I'm not finished with you yet." he sneered.

Tommy turned to him as he chuckled and held up a flower.

"Watch out!" Tommy yelled.

His students all looked up at Megalador, then got ready to fight as he fired two blasts from the flower, hitting Ethan first, then Conner.

"AHH!" they moaned, falling onto their backs.

"Oh, man!" Tommy moaned, facepalming himself.

"Ouch." Mei said.

Megalador jumped down to the ground, landing behind Nikki.

"Come with me, Human!" he said, grabbing her arms.

"AHHH!" Nikki cried, before they vanished via an Invisiportal.

Tommy ran towards his students as Conner and Ethan both got up and clutched their chests.

"You guys okay?" he asked.

"From now on, check your hormones at the door before you morph." Kira advised, touching Ethan's shoulder.

"Yeah, that wasn't the time or place, you two." Mei said sternly.

"Let's get back to the lab." Tommy said.

"Okay." his students said.

They all turned and ran off, none of them noticing the Dinozord Egg, which glowed slightly.


At the Mercer Mansion, Anton was looking through a book near a cabinet full of a models, when Trent walked by the doorway.

"You're late, son." Anton said, making Trent stop and turn. "And you know how I value punctuality."

"Yeah, I know. I just...kinda had plans." Trent explained.

"I have plans too, Trent." Anton said. "I won't be around forever."

He put the book in the cabinet.

"Where you going?" Trent asked.

"Nowhere right now, but..." Anton said, taking another book out. "...if anything unseen should happen to me, I need to know that the family business will be in good hands. Can you understand that?"

"Yeah, Dad, I can." Trent said.

He turned and walked off, leaving Anton alone.


At the beach, Devin was in the water, pretending to drown.

"Help!" he called. "Help, somebody?!"

Cassidy got up from a lifeguard stand, wearing a red one-piece swimsuit.

"Oh!" she said.

She picked up a pair of binoculars and looked through them.

"Help!" Devin cried. "HELLLPPPP!"

Cassidy put the binoculars down.

"My turn." she said, picking up a rescue tube.

She jumped from the stand and began to run towards the water, as a camera was filming everything.

"I'll save you!" she called.

"Please?!" Devin called. "Help!"

Cassidy made it into the water, then made it to Devin, dropping the tube.

"Whoa!" he yelped.

Cassidy wrapped his arm around her as he held the tube, then carried him towards the beach as he moaned. She approached the camera and put Devin down near it.

"Ah!" he yelped, falling onto his back.

"And cut!" she said, looking at the camera.

She got to her knees as Devin leaned up on his side.

"How was that?" he asked. "You know, I even felt the peril. I even got water up my nose."

"Yeah, and no. I think we're gonna have to do another take." Cassidy said. "And really try and drown yourself this time, Devin?"

"Oh, right. I've got it." Devin understood.

He got up and began running back towards the water, as Cassidy turned to the camera.

"We'll see who the real star is." she said.

She turned around and ran off as Devin dived into the water.

"And action!" she yelled.

She turned to the camera slightly as she made it to the water.


In Mesagog's lab, Nikki was strapped to the lifeforce extractor chair, as Zeltrax moved it around.

"Let me go? Do you know who I am?" Nikki asked. "Let me go?"

Zeltrax chuckled as he stopped moving the chair, so Nikki faced Elsa and Megalador, who sniggered.

"Ah!" Nikki grunted, as Elsa came towards her.

"She don't look so prefect to me." Elsa said.

"You're in big trouble!" Nikki spat.

"Ooh! I'm not the one strapped to a chair now, am I?" Elsa mocked.

"I'm a famous celebrity. You can't treat me like this." Nikki said. "There are union rules."

Everyone laughed at her.


Meanwhile, in the Dino Lab, Conner and Ethan were both looking at themselves in a mirror, as their faces were covered in spots.

"This is not good." Ethan said.

Conner touched his nose, as Tommy approached them, while Kira and Mei both by the computers with Hayley, who was trying to find an Invisiportal.

"You guys were lucky you were morphed." Tommy said. "It could've been a lot worse."

He walked off.

"I can't believe this?" Conner said. "How I am suppose to save Nikki now? Look at my face?"

"Mine looks like it should be delivered in 30 minutes or less." Ethan whimpered.

"You know, most of us could look past a rash and see the person on the inside." Kira said.

"Okay, Nikki Valantina is not like most of us." Conner argued.

"Well, you're right there." Mei agreed, folding her arms.

"Two arms, two legs, all seems the same to me." Kira reasoned.

"What arms and legs, not to mention the rest of her." Ethan grinned.

"Oh, brother." Mei grumbled. "You two seriously need to cut this out. I'm getting annoyed."

"Anyway, seems like Mesagog shares your infatuation." Tommy said, walking past the boys.

He approached the girls, as Hayley turned around.

"Ew!" Ethan gasped, as Conner looked horrified.

"He's set up a firewall around the Invisiportals." Hayley explained. "Not even the Raptor Cycles could get in."

Tommy sighed, not liking the news.


In Mesagog's lab, Nikki was still strapped to the chair.

"Help! HEELLLPPPP!" she cried. "HEEELLLLPPPPPP!"

Mesagog and Zeltrax both approached her from either side.

"Here she is, my lord." Zeltrax said.

"Huh?" Nikki gasped.

"Ah... I like your energy." Mesagog said, running his hand over Nikki. "Your DNA is pure evil."

He unstrapped the strap on Nikki's legs.

"Well, I have been looking for some darker roles." Nikki gulped, as Mesagog undid the waist strap. "But I don't think I'm right for pure evil."

Mesagog undid the last strap, then leaned down towards her.

"Trust me, you're ready." he sneered.

Nikki moved her head slightly, nervous by his appearance, as he lifted his head up.

"Zeltrax, take her to the energy transfer chamber." Mesagog instructed, before he turned and walked off. "Ready her for the purge."

"Resistance is futile." Zeltrax warned, holding out his hand.

"Oh." Nikki said, taking it.

Zeltrax helped her out of the chair.

"Hey, I was up for that part. I still remember the audition." she said. "It went something like this."

She stomped on his left foot.

"Ow!" Zeltrax yelped.

He hopped on his other foot and touched left one, as Nikki ran off.

"My toes!" Zeltrax groaned. "Stop!"

Nikki kept running, before an Invisiportal transported her out of the lab.

She came out of the other end, landing on her feet at the beach.

"Huh?" she muttered, looking around.


In the Dino Lab, Hayley turned her chair around, as the screens all showed Nikki.

"I don't know how, but she's made it out." she explained. "She's back at the beach."

Conner and Ethan turned to her.

"Yeah, go Nikki." Ethan grinned. "I told you she was smart."

Kira and Mei both turned to them, as Tommy worked on a panel.

"Yeah, as a bag of hammers." Kira said.

"Just got lucky I'd say." Mei scoffed.

Nikki walked along the sand, when Megalador came out of an Invisiportal behind her.

"Should've seen that one coming." Tommy said.

He got up and turned to Hayley.

"Hayley, keep tracking that egg?" he asked.

"I will." Halyey promised. "Good luck."

She turned her chair around, as the Rangers lined up. (Mei was on Kira's right)

"Ready?" Tommy asked.

"Ready!" his students said.

They held up their wrists, then their bracelets turned into their morphers.

"Dino Thunder Power Up, ha!"

(Morph sequence)

The screen split into five, Mei in the top left, Kira in the top right, Conner in the bottom left, Ethan in the bottom right, Tommy in the middle. Tommy turned his key in his morpher, as the others pressed the buttons on their morphers, then Tommy raised his left arm up, while the others lowered their arms as the foot symbol appeared on them, then they all back flipped through the air, morphing up. They all landed in their positions, then their helmets appeared on them, then they did their poses as their Dinozords roared behind them.

"Hyah!" they shouted.

(End morph sequence)


They all arrived on the beach, as Megalador and Nikki both turned to them. (Mei was on Ethan's right)

"You again?" he said.

"You're safe now." Conner said.

Zeltrax came out of an Invisiportal on Nikki's right, who she turned to.

"Huh?" she muttered.

"Not for long!" Zeltrax snarled, pointing his sword at them.

He charged forward, as the Rangers charged back.

"So not in my contract!" Nikki snarled.

She pulled her arm free from Megalador and ran off.

"Come back!" he demanded.

Zeltrax tried to slash Tommy, but he grabbed his forearm, then spun around to kick Zeltrax, but missed as he ducked.

The other Rangers all charged at Megalador, then Ethan kicked him slightly while moving past him, then Conner blocked a kick from him with his hands. He turned and sent one at Mei, but missed as she ducked, then she kicked him slightly in the belly. He turned and grabbed Kira's forearms as she tried to punch him, before he raised her up, making her twirl around.

"Whoa!" she yelled.

She managed to land on her feet, then she fly kicked Megalador's chest, knocking him back slightly. He turned and grabbed Ethan's arm as he tried to punch him, then pulled it down.

"Ah!" Ethan moaned.

Megalador turned to the others and fired a blast from his hand, hitting the sand behind them.

"AHHH!" they moaned, flipping forward as an explosion went off behind them. "OH!"

Further along the beach, Devin was filming another scene for Cassidy, this one with a dummy, as Nikki ran right past the camera.

"Okay, Cas, action!" Devin said.

He turned to Nikki as she kept on running.

"Let's see how you look after a little flower power?" Megalador joked, holding one up.

"Huh?" Devin muttered, looking at him.

He turned to Nikki, then ran towards her, thinking Megalador was targeting her.

"Watch out!" he yelled.

Megalador fired a beam from his flower, which nearly hit them both.

"WHOA!" Devin yelled.

He grabbed Nikki and pulled her down.

"AH!" she screamed. "OH!"

They both rolled along the sand together, until Devin ended up on top of Nikki.

"Oh!" they moaned.

"Are-are you alright?" Devin asked.

"You're even braver than a Power Ranger." Nikki commented. "Have you ever thought of a career as an action hero?"

"Uh..." Devin blushed.

Megalador fired a blast from his flower, hitting the other Rangers, crating an explosion in front of them.

"WHOA!" they yelled, all flipping towards the ground.

Tommy and Zeltrax had their weapons locked, before Zeltrax pushed Tommy away slightly, then they slashed their weapons twice. Zeltrax ducked and spun around as Tommy tried to slash him, then Tommy jumped and twirled around slightly as Zeltrax tried to slash his legs. Zeltrax then jumped as Tommy tried to tackle him, then Tommy put his left hand on the sand while spinning around, kicking Zeltrax's sword away, then he rolled forward as Zeltrax tried to slash him.

Nearby, Devin and Nikki kept looking at each other.

"An action hero, huh?" Devin smirked.

"Yeah." Nikki said.

Cassidy came onto the beach, the dummy's arm wrapped around her.

"Hello! I just saved a life!" she roared. "Doesn't anyone care?"

She walked off towards the camera as Devin helped Nikki up.

"It's not easy though." Nikki said. "Everyone wants a piece of me. 'Can I get an autograph? Can I have your DNA?' It never stops."

"Yeah. I mean, it must be so hard knowing millions of people love you." Devin said. "Isn't that why you become a TV star?"

"No. I just wanna be rich, and have lots of stuff, and marry a rock star, and have more houses than J-Lo." Nikki explained.

She turned and walked off, as Devin turned to her, while Cassidy looked shocked.

"Oh, boy." Devin said, following her.

"Wow. That's shallow, even for me." Cassidy said, shocked.

She turned to the dummy and dropped it.

Megalador spun around and knocked Ethan away slightly, then he turned and whacked Mei's chest with his arm, knocking her back.

"Oh!" she moaned.

Megalador turned to a sea wall Kira was on and fired a blast at it, but missed Kira as she somersaulted forward.

"Oh!" she grunted, rolling forward on the sand.

She got up as Conner did a sideways handspring towards Megalador, then they both punched him slightly, before he grabbed Kira's arm and flipped her onto her back.

"Whoa!" she yelped.

Megalador blocked a punch from Conner with his arm, then punched Conner's chest. He turned and slashed Ethan's chest with his arm, making him spin around in the air.

"AH!" Ethan moaned, hitting the sand.

Megalador turned and dodged as Mei tried to kick him, before he hit her back with her arm, knocking her down near Ethan.

"Ah!" she moaned.

Conner jumped and dived towards Megalador to kick him, but he hit Conner's chest with his hand, sending him flying over him.

"Ah!" he moaned, hitting the sand near the others.

They all got to their knees and turned to Megalador, who laughed, before he turned and ran off.

"Come on!" Conner said.

The four Rangers all began to chase after him.

Tommy rolled along the sand, then turned and kicked Zeltrax's sword away, before kicking his chest.

"Oh!" Zeltrax moaned, flying away.

He shot lighting out of his sword before he landed on his feet.

"AH!" Tommy moaned, getting knocked up as an explosion went off behind him.

He twirled around in the air.


Meanwhile, Megalador laughed as he ran along a dockyard path, before he stopped.

"Uh-oh." he said, turning around.

The four teen Rangers all stared at him.

"It's time you learned a lesson." Conner said, pointing at him.

"Yeah, like don't blast people with a ray that turns their face into Pepperoni Pizza." Ethan said.

"Good one, Ethan." Kira said, pointing at him.

"Really?" Ethan asked, turning to her.

"No." Kira smirked. "Hyah!"

"Yeah, I've heard better than that." Mei said, hitting Ethan's arm playfully.

"Hey!" Ethan complained, turning to her.

Megalador fried a blast from his hand, but missed as the Rangers dived away, Ethan and Mei to their right, Conner and Kira to their left.

"Whoa!" they yelped.


At the beach, Zeltrax dug his sword into the ground, sending lighting across the sand towards Tommy.

"Whoa!" he yelped, before it hit and knocked him away. "AHH!"

He dived up backwards as Zeltrax fried blasts from his sword, before he landed on his feet. He and Zeltrax both jumped up towards each other, then they locked their weapons together while spinning around, as they shot towards the ground. They both pulled away before they landed on the sand and stared at each other.


In the Dino Lab, Hayley kept working on the computer, still trying to find the Dinozord Egg.

"Almost." she said.

The screen showed the beach, before it zoomed on the Dinozord Egg.

"Yes! Got it." she said.

She turned her chair around and got up from it.


At the beach, Tommy spun around to kick Zeltrax, who blocked it with his forearm, then he ducked as Tommy tried to slash him, then they slashed their weapons together. Tommy grabbed his arm and went under it, before he pulled it behind him.

"OH!" Zeltrax moaned.

"I'm having some serious déjà vu, Zeltrax." Tommy said.

Zeltrax hit his other arm and knocked him away, before he spun around and grabbed Tommy's other arm, pulling on it.

"This is far from over." he assured.

He kicked the back of Tommy's leg, knocking him to his knees.

"AH!" Tommy moaned.

"I will return and then you will all pay!" Zeltrax swore.

Tommy turned and punched him slightly, knocking him away, breaking free from his hold.

"Ah!" Zeltrax moaned.

He turned around while clutching his chest, then vanished via an Invisiportal, as Tommy got up.


At the docks, Ethan sent a kick at Megalador, who blocked it with his hand, as Conner rolled forward. Kira then spun around to tackle him as Conner got up, then he blocked a kick from Mei with his knee, before he banged his beak against Conner, knocking him down.

"Ah!" he moaned, hitting the ground.

Megalador blocked a kick from Ethan with his left hand, then blocked one from Kira with his right arm, then he dodged slightly as Mei tried to kick him. He blocked a punch from Ethan with his left arm, then ducked as Kira tried to kick him, then he dodged as Mei ran at him and tried to punch him from behind. Conner got up and charged forward, then kicked his chest, knocking him back.

"AH!" he moaned.

The four Rangers gathered together and stared at him. (Mei was on Ethan's right)

"Okay, guys, let's give this freak a blast?" Ethan said, as they took out their blasters.

"Ready?" Conner asked, as they held them up. "Fire!"

They all fired at Megalador, hitting him all over.

"AHH!" he moaned, falling down.

"Yeah!" Ethan whooped, holding his up.


At the beach, Hayley was looking around for the Dinozord Egg.

"Ah, it must be here." she said.

She turned and found it.

"Aha." she said. "Hey, little guy."

She bent down and rubbed some sand off the egg and picked it up, before she ran off.


At the docks, the teen Rangers all stared at Megalador, who pulled himself up.

"Let's put 'em together!" Ethan said.

They all combined their weapons into the Z-Rex Blaster.

"Z-Rex Blaster!" they said, Conner holding it up.

He aimed it while the others took their positions.

"Ready?" Kira said.

"Fire!" Conner shouted.

A blast came out of it with a mouth, which closed up upon hitting Megalador, destroying him.

"AHHH!" he moaned.


In Mesagog's lab, Mesagog, Zeltrax and Elsa all stared at the Rangers on the monitor.

"Yeah!" Conner laughed.

He held up the Z-Rex Blaster as Kira and Ethan got up, while Mei moved away slightly, as Tommy came over to them.

"Awesome!" Kira whooped.

"Whoo!" Mei whooped.

"All right!" Tommy said.

Elsa growled as Mesagog turned to her and Zeltrax.

"Don't just stand there! Activate the Hydro-Regenerator!" he hissed.

"Yes, Master." Elsa said.

She pulled a lever up on the Hydro-Regenerator.

"Activating." she said.

(The city)

A small orange ball with red lines on came out of Megalador's remains and shot towards the sky, creating a large dark cloud. A large rainstorm came out of it, which hit the ground, the remains, which all rose up from the ground, then Megalador was reborn a giant.

"Now I'm the big fish." he joked, laughing.

"Braicho! Zord time!" Tommy said, putting his morpher to his mouthpiece.

The Brachiozord roared and arrived on the scene, then it stopped, and then its three hatches opened up. The Tyrannozord jumped out from its hatch, then turned and ran off, followed by the Camptozord, as the Pterazord flew out of its hatch. The Brachiozord lowered its neck, as the Tricerazord began to walk down it, then all four Dinozords ran/flew towards Megalador, roaring as they did.

The screen split into four, from left to right, Mei, Ethan, Conner, Kira, as they turned and crossed their forearms over, entering their Dinozords.

"Hyah!" they shouted.

The Tyrannozord roared and spun around, smashing a rock with its drill tail as it did, then it stood on its legs, while moving its head 90 degrees to its left, while lowering the leg arm and tail. The Tricerazord ran forward and jumped up, then twirled around and attached itself to the right side. The Camptozord roared and jumped up, lowering its head slightly, then attached itself to the back, wrapping its legs around the waist. A head popped up from the top, then it ran forward and jumped up, as the Pterazord split up, with its feet and butt detaching from the rest of it. Its wings folded in and went beneath the Tyrannozord's head, as the feet and butt turned into the helmet, which went onto the head, forming the Thundersaurus Megazord.

The Thundersaurus Megazord roared as it held its left arm out, spinning the drill.

"I'm the catch of the day." Megalador joked, charging forward.

The Thundersaurus Megazord charged at him, before they got locked in a grapple, before they broke apart, then it hit him with its tail arm. He then knocked it down with his left hand, then hit its other arm as it tried to whack him, but then it slashed him twice with its tail arm in an X shape. It then punched him with its Tricera arm, knocking him away.

"AH! AHHH!" he yelled, flying away.

He landed on his feet, then he turned around.

"You asked for this fish." he warned, his hands over his mouth.

He lowered his arms and shot water from his mouth, hitting the Thundersaurus Megazord all over, before it fell apart, sending the Rangers out and towards the ground.

"WHOA!" Conner yelled, flipping forward.

"Whoa!" Ethan yelped.

"What happened?" Kira exclaimed.

"I don't know!" Mei cried.

The girls hit the ground on their chests, the boys on their backs.

"OH!" they moaned.

Tommy ran towards his students.

"Guys, are you alright?" he asked, as they pulled themselves up.

"Yeah!" Conner moaned. "Something's fishy."

"Look at that swell." Megalador smirked. "Surf's up!"

He vanished, then reappeared in the sea, with it up to his waist.

"I summon the power of the Great Tsunami!" he chanted.

He laughed as the water began to rise up.

"It's a tidal wave!" Kira exclaimed.

"He wasn't kidding about 'surf's up'!" Mei gasped.

"Huh?" they all muttered, hearing a noise.

They all turned around and saw Hayley racing towards them in Tommy's jeep, before she pulled it over.

"Guys, I found the egg." she explained, turning to them.

She picked it up and threw it towards them.

"Catch." she said.

"Okay." Ethan said, catching it. "Got it. Here?"

He showed it to the others.

"Huh?" he muttered, raising his morpher up.

He looked at it, as the headpiece changed a crimson Stegosaurus.

"Whoa!" Ethan said. "Whoa! I think it's hatching."

The Dinozord Egg hatched itself, showing a tiny crimson Stegozord with golden spikes.

"Awesome." Ethan said.

"Cool." Mei said.

The Stegozord jumped off Ethan's hand, then began to grow.

"Oh." Kira said.

"He's growing!" Conner said.

The Stegozord stopped growing, so it was the same height as the Tricerzord.

"It's a Stegozord." Tommy said, before picking up both halves of the egg. "Yeah, incredible."

"You can say that again." Conner said, touching his arm and shoulder.

Megalador laughed, makin them all turn to him.

"Alright, guys, we got a new friend." Tommy said. "Use your telepathy to tame the Stegozord and combine with you."

"All right!" Conner said, clapping his hands.

"Sounds good to me." Mei said.

"Yeah." Ethan agreed, as they ran off.

"Let's do it!" Kira said.

Tommy turned to his students as they jumped up.

The screen split into four, from left to right, Mei, Ethan, Conner, Kira, as they turned and crossed their forearms over, entering their Dinozords.

"Hyah!" they shouted.

Their Dinozords quickly combined back into the Thundersaurus Megazord.

The Rangers all arrived in the cockpit, holding their spheres.

"Online!" they said.

The Thundersaurus Megazord got ready to fight.

The Stegozord marched forward, before its back lifted up and folded out on either side of itself, forming a water ski vehicle.

"Yeah." Ethan said, as the Rangers stared at it.

"Awesome." Kira said.

"Sweet." Mei said.

"It's working!" Conner said.

The Thundersaurus Megazord jumped up and landed on the Stegozord's back, then it got ready to fight.

"Now it's our turn." Kira said.

"Let's turn this flow into a plate of sushi." Conner said, rubbing his hands.

"Talk about a fish out of water." Ethan joked.

"Well, he won't be long." Mei joked.

The Stegozord ran forward, then jumped up, before it landed itself and the Thundersaurus Megazord in the water.

"Hey, where'd you get that?!" Megalador demanded.

The tidal wave went over him.

"AH!" he yelled.

The Thundersaurus Megazord began to surf the wave on the Stegozord, moving towards Megalador.

"Hanging ten!" the Rangers shouted, punching their left fists out, extending their fingers.

The Thundersaurus Megazord moved the Stegozord around, hitting Megalador with its left spikes.

"Whoa! AHH!" he moaned. "AH!"

The tidal wave rose up even higher, so it was bigger than the city.

The Thundersaurus Megazord rode the Stegozord up the tidal wave, then once at the top, jumped it up, before it turned around. It then dived and landed above the water, before it shot towards Megalador.

"Dino Drill!" the Rangers shouted.

The Thundersaurus Megazord spun its drill around, holding it up, before lowering it down, slashing Megalador with it while racing past him.

"AHH!" he moaned, before he blew up.

The tidal wave vanished.

"Yeah!" Conner whooped, clutching his fists, leaning his head back.

"We did it!" Kira whooped, punching her fist out.

"All right, yeah!" Mei whooped, punching hers up, as Ethan held his up.

The Thundersaurus Megazord pulled the Stegozord to a stop and turned around, standing at ease.


The next day, in the Mercer Mansion, Trent sat at the desk in Anton's office, as Anton approached him, seeing he was doing some work.

"Well, glad to see your studying." Anton said, walking to the back of the desk, picking up a book. "I hope it's relevant to the business at hand?"

"Yep, just working on some figures." Trent explained.

"Good. Good." Anton said, patting Trent's shoulder as he moved around him. "You see, all you have to do is put your mind to it, and you can do anything."

"Yeah." Trent said, turning to him.

Anton smiled and left the room. Once he was out, Trent moved the paper over, showing another of his drawings, as he picked up a pencil.


Later, Conner and Ethan were both approaching Nikki at the beach, who was looking at herself in a mirror.

"There she is." Ethan said, rubbing his hands.

"Let me do the talking?" Conner asked.

"Oh, yeah, right?" Ethan scoffed.

They both stopped and turned to Nikki.

"If I have to talk to anymore annoying, lovestruck fans, I'm gonna barf in my coffee cup." Nikki said.

"Whoa." Ethan said, as Conner folded his arms.

They both backed away, shocked by her attitude.

Nikki turned and began to walk towards the beach, as Kira and Mei got in front of the boys.

"So, you guys put the moves on Nikki?" Kira asked.

"No. Turns out..." Ethan said.

"She is whack." Conner finished.

"I told you both, she's not your type." Mei said.

"Yeah, we can see that now." Conner said, as Ethan nodded.

"Well, guys, we'd say you've learned a valuable lesson." Kira said.

"What? Sticking to cheerleaders?" Conner joked.

"He's kidding. We know, we can't judge a book by its cover." Ethan said, as they sat down at a table behind them. "Even a fine one like Nikki's."

"Like I told you both yesterday, she cares about no one but herself." Mei said.

"You can say that again, Mei?" a voice said.

The four teens turned and saw Louis coming towards them all.

"Uncle Louis." Mei smiled.

She ran and hugged him slightly, before pulling away.

"This is how you knew beforehand?" Conner asked.

"Yeah. My Uncle Louis is a producer." Mei explained. "She's seen Nikki a lot to know what she's like."

"I see your friends here learned the hard way." Louis said.

"We sure did." Conner assured.

"Yeah." Ethan agreed, before he spotted something. "Hey, look?"

They all turned and saw Devin lying on a beach towel, with Nikki nearby, waving her hair.

"Set...and action!" the Director said.

Nikki leaned down to kiss Devin, while Cassidy watched in disgust from the side.

"I don't like her! Not one little bit." she said.

A man came over to her.

"Excuse me? You're distracting the actors." he said. "You're gonna have to leave."

"No, you can't do that to me?" Cassidy said. "I'm with the Press and I have a pass."

The man took her hand and led her away.

"Hello?" Cassidy said. "Bummer."

Nikki got up and ran away from Devin, who sat up and smiled.

"Oh, no, they know me!" Cassidy said. "Tell him?"

The man passed by the Rangers and Louis, the boys chuckling.

"Tell him who I am?" Cassidy asked. "Hello?"

The teens all chuckled as the man led Cassidy away, as they walked along with Louis.

"Do you really know her?" Louis asked.

"Kinda." Kira answered.

"Same class as us at school." Mei explained.

"Oh, I see." Louis said. "Weird girl."

The teens chuckled as they walked off.
