The Grunginator came at the Rangers, knocking them back. The monster laughed.

"You pathetic Rangers. Did you dudes really think you could defeat me?" he jeered.

"Bring it on, Grunginator. We haven't even begun to show you what we can do," the Blue Dino Ranger responded. The monster snickered and aimed its ray at them.

"Get down!" the Red Ranger warned. Everyone ducked and a beam of light flew above their heads.

"Whew. That was close," the Yellow Dino Ranger sighed.

"Yeah, no kidding," the Pink Ranger agreed. Grunginator laughed and charged at them again. The Rangers brought out their weapons and fended off the attack. Meanwhile, Conner and Tess were still walking around, when the boy heard his communicator go off.

"What is that?" Tess wondered.

"Look, there's---something I need to do. I don't want to, but---if I don't take care of it now, it'll keep buggin' us," Conner said.

"Fine. Just hurry back," Tess told him.

"Count on it, Babe," Conner promised. Then, he ran off. "Yeah, what do you want?" he snapped into his communicator.

"Conner, the other Rangers need your help. You must go to them," Zordon said.

"Look, you giant, floating head, I'm a little busy here," Conner told him.

"Look Conner, we don't have time for your Rebel-Without-A-Cause act, so morph and teleport your butt downtown," Hailey interjected angrily.

"Oh, fine," Conner sighed. Then, after blowing out an angry breath, "Dino Thunder! Power Up!" Instantly after, he teleported to the site.

"Conner, thank goodness!" the Yellow Dino Ranger exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's just get this taken care of so I don't have to spend anymore time with you geekoids than necessary," the Red Dino Ranger answered.

"No worries there, Power Punk. You're all through," Grunginator proclaimed. He charged them, but was intercepted by the Blue and White Dino Rangers, causing the ray to drop to the ground. Wasting no time, the Green Ranger used his dagger to destroy the ray.

"NO!" Grunginator roared, knocking back the Rangers. Almost immediately, the Red Dino Ranger groaned.

"Conner!" the Yellow Dino Ranger exclaimed, steadying him.

"How you feeling?" the Green Ranger questioned.

"Like somebody rung my bell," the Red Dino Ranger responded.

"You should be fine in a bit," the Green Ranger assured.

"Let's put 'em together!" the Red Ranger ordered. The Rangers put together the Power Blaster and the Q-Rex Blaster, and the Green Ranger charged his Dragon Dagger. Then, they combined the weapons and fired. Grunginator roared and exploded. Mesogog fumed in anger and frustration as he saw the scene.
