Chapter 4
Unexpected Attack / History of a Hero, Part 1
The van was traveling peacefully down the road to Marine Bay, as each person was busy with a personal project. Dr. O looked like he was reading a book, but in reality he was lost in thought. He was thinking about the group that attacked him in the ruins of the old command center. The question 'What did they want there?' echoed in his head.
Dr. O gave up on the book and put it away, then sighed and began to stare out the window. The trees whipped past his sight, but he didn't really notice. He was recalling the first time he became a Power Ranger. Rita kidnapped him to be the ultimate weapon against Zordon and his five Rangers.
Dr. O the reached into his bag and pulled out his old morphers. He rested them on his lap. First, he looked at the Green Mopher. 'So much history in this small device,' Dr. O thought to himself.
He thought about the long battle with the other Rangers. As the evil Green Ranger, he nearly destroyed them. But they never gave up on him. Jason, his best friend, managed to destroy the power sword and talk him into joining the fight against Rita. But Rita didn't like that, so she created the Green Candle to steal the green power for herself.
The Rangers tried to stop it, but in the end they failed. Lucky for them, before Rita took the power, Dr. O gave Jason the power coin, allowing access to the Green Ranger powers. Then he went away for a while, and eventually returned to Angel Grove to start a new life as a non-Ranger. But to his surprise, he found himself back in the command center, where he was told of the current danger and how he was the only one who could help them.
At that moment, he resumes the roll of the Green Ranger with a time limit. That time ran shortly after Lord Zedd appeared. Lord Zedd craved the Green Ranger power to use for his own, but before Lord Zedd got a chance the Green Power disappeared forever. Dr. O then remembers the feeling of being lost and unsure of his role in life.
He went away again, this time it was for a longer period of time, unsure if he ever wanted to return to Angel Grove and watch his friends, the Power Rangers, live life without him. But homesickness took him over and he wanted to go home to friends.
The plan was one last swim in the lake, then leave for Angel Grove in the morning. But plans change. When he was got out of the lake and on the shore to dry himself off, he felt a weird feeling, and next thing he knew he was standing front of Zordon. After the shock wore off, he told him about the plan to give him a new Ranger power. The White Ranger. Then Zordon asked him if he would accept this new title. Dr. O laughed to himself as he remembered yelling, Are you mental? Of course I do.
Then, next thing he remembers, he was floating in the air toward the ground with the original five Rangers looking at him. As soon as he landed, Zordon told him to remove his helmet, and he did. The guys were shocked; Kim fainted. The first words I told them were, Guess who's back. From there the journey as the White Ranger began.
"Dr. O, is everything alright?" Kira asked. Dr. O snaps out of his daze and looked at her.
"Yeah. Just thinking about some stuff," he said to her as he put his morphers back in his bag. Kira was about to call him a liar when an explosion stopped her. The van began to shake.
Base was under attack, the man said in his cell phone. Another explosion shook the van, and the passengers began to shake in there seats.
"Who's attacking us?" Conner asked, holding on to the back of the seat to try and get a steady grip on something.
Dr. O shouted at the guys up front, What should we do?
The driver turns around and yelled,"Hold on and pray for a safe landing." Not what they wanted to hear, but the advice was needed a few seconds later when they felt the van lift off the ground and begin to roll. The people in the van began to yell.
The van rolled for another minute, then it came to a sudden stop. The Dino Team hung upside down, trying to get over the recent shock. After a second, Dr. O recovered and carefully released the seat belt holding him upside down. After a quick fall and shock, he was helping the others out of their seats. After all, the Dino Team was free.
Dr. O crawled over to the two men still in their seats. When he was there, he took their pulse and found out that they were dead. Dr. O sighed and looked back at the others, then softly shook his head. The Dino Rangers lowered their heads. But the moment of quiet was not meant to last as a voice from the outside brought them back to reality.
"Dino Rangers, you are out numbered. We suggest that you give up and hand over Dr. O."
"NEVER!" the teens should at once.
A moment of silence then, the voice said, Very well. Prepare to have him taken by force.
The teens look at Dr. O for an answer. Dr. O smiled, held up his hand, and nodded. They got the message at once.
"Are you guys ready?" Conner shouted.
"Ready," they answered. "Dino Thunder, power up!"
"White Dragon Dino Power!"
The next thing the people heard and saw was the Dino Rangers calling for Super Dino mode and busting through the sliding door. All five of then landed on their feet.
Dino Thunder Power Rangers! they shouted. Then, a second later, they realize there were 6 tanks, a bunch of jeeps with machine guys, and several men with rocket launchers.
A man in a long coat was standing in front of his army. He looks like every general Dr. O has seen in movies.
"So, like good
little soldiers, you rather fight to the death rather than give up?"
he said with an evil grin. The Dino Rangers remain quiet while
glaring at him.
This went on for a few more minutes before they notice the man raise his weapons. He was about to give the signal to fire, but the Rangers seemed prepared. Suddenly, a sound made both parties turn.
"Zeo power weapons, full power."
"V Lancers, fire!"
Unexpectedly, the tanks exploded. The man slowly turns toward the explosion. He knew who it was and they final made it for his little announcement. Then the ten Rangers jump over the ruins of the tanks and land next to the Dino Rangers.
"Power Rangers Zeo!" "Light-speed rescue" they proclaimed.
"Good to see you guys made it." The Black Dino then took the Red Light Speed Ranger hand.
"Wouldn't miss this for the world," he answered.
The man cleared his voice and said," This is good, that all of you guys are here, because I have something to tell you." They all turn their attention toward their common enemy.
"What is it?" asked the Pink Zeo Ranger.
There was a wicked smile on his face. "We have all five original Rangers, and we plan on using them against you guys." Shock filled the air.
"You're lying," Black Dino said, taking a step forward.
The man took a step backward and said, "Oh, am I? You will see in time that the your best friends will become your worst enemies." With that said, he pressed a button and the small army teleported. The Rangers watched helplessly as their new enemy escaped.
There was a long moment of silence before all of them said, "Power down."
When they were in their civilian forms, Carter stepped forward. "We need to get going."
The Rangers gave a nod of their heads and followed Carter to another van. Dr. O watched as Carter speaks into his morpher, hoping he was calling for someone to pick up the two dead people in the front seat.
