Chapter Eighteen-Plans and Escape

Tommy, Conner, and Zordon were now in the main room of the Command Center with everyone else. The Red Ranger and the White Ranger had agreed on a plan to get the Pterodactyls back. After some moments to gain their courage, the leader of the Mighty Morphin Rangers and the Dino Thunder Rangers joined their friends and teammates.

"We have a plan," Conner said wasting no time.

"You do?" Rocky asked.

"Yes," Conner said. "We do have a plan."

"But it's risky," Tommy warned.

"What is it?" Billy asked.

"We were thinking," Conner began.

"Dangerous concept," Ethan mumbled and Aisha laughed.

Both leaders glared and the laughter ceased.

"As I was saying," Conner continued." We, Tommy and I, have come up with a plan to get Kira and Kim back."

"We're, all of us, are going to teleport to the moon and take them back," Tommy completed.

"But that's dangerous," Aisha asked. "We don't have our powers."

"We know," Conner said.

"That's why we were hoping Zordon would give us our old powers like he did for Kim."

With no further words were shared the Rangers turned their attention to Zordon.

Lord Zedd leaned against the stone railing of his balcony, one taloned hand tapping against the rail as the other clutched his staff tightly.

"Zeddy," Rita said. "What are we going to do about Tommy?"

"I am thinking about that, my poison covered cupcake," Zedd said.

Mesogog growled. The couple before him was supposed to be the worse villains the Rangers ever fought.

"What is it, Master?" Elsa asked.

"A plan," Mesogog said.

Zedd and Rita's attentions went to the reptilian villain. Zedd moved into the throne room his queen at his heels. He sat on his throne and waited for his ally to continue.

"We use our new captives as bait," Mesogog said. "the Powers Rangers will not be able to resist the temptation of long."

Zedd thought it over. It was true . The Rangers were always more determined to save their own. He also had no doubt if they dangled Kimberly Hart, the White Mighty Morphin Ranger would save he no matter which one she was, the future Kim or the present Kim.

"We will use the former Pink Ranger," Zedd suggested.

With that said the villains set forth a plan to finally defeat the Power Rangers.

Zordon thought about Tommy and Conner's Idea. He wasn't sure if he should give the Rangers their former powers. It would be too Dangerous . Never before has a whole team of Rangers lose all of their powers and needed their old powers to fight on. They always go and search for a new power.

The Eltarian looked down at the two teams. While his Rangers were whole the Dino Thunder Rangers only had two members left. It was a pitiful sight and there was no sigh of hope in their young eyes.

Zordon nodded before he decided to give his answer.

"Very well," he finally said. "I will give you your former powers, but I must warn you the Powers will not last long. You will have to move quickly."

The Mighty Morphin arrangers agreed. Zordon nodded again and the Dino Thunder rangers and Kimberly stepped away to watch.

"Hold out your hands," Zordon said.

The five Rangers did as they were told. In the center of each hand a glowing circle appeared. Blue, Red, Yellow, White, and Black circles in appropriate hand and the faded. In each hand there was now a gold coin. Their hands closed over their Power Coins.

"It's time," Conner said.

Tommy nodded his agreement.

"It's Morphin Time!" he exclaimed. "White Tiger!"

"Mastodon!"

"Triceratops!"

"Saber-Tooth Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!"

"Dino Thunder, Power Up!" Ethan and Conner called.

Now morphed the Rangers stood tall and proud. Kimberly stood awkwardly at their side. She was not able to receive her former power because it was already given to Kim. Tommy turned to her.

"Kimberly," he said.

"I'm ok," she said. "Just be careful."

Tommy nodded.

"Good luck, Rangers," Zordon said. "Right," the colorful team said and teleported to the moon.

Back on the moon, Dr. Oliver and Trent both wer juse leaving their chambers. They were summoned to the main throne room.

Seconds after they left, the Power Rangers appeared.

"Ethan and Adam are with me," Conner said.

"Right," the others agreed.

"Aisha, Rocky, Billy, and I will find Kim." Tommy said.

Billy held up two devices. They looked exactly the same. He handed one to Ethan and kept the to her for himself.

"These are energy finders," he whispered. "The one I have is programmed to Kim's energy and the one Ethan is holding is programmed to Kira's energy."

"Okay, Rangers," Conner said.

"Billy, which way?" Tommy said.

Billy looked down at his scanner.

"That way," The Blue Mighty Morphin Ranger said their right.

"And we need to go," Ethan instructed. "That way."

He pointed to the Rangers' left.

The two teams broke off.

It seemed like they had been searching forever, when Conner's team came upon Trent's suite.

"Wait," Ethan said stopping in the dark corridor.

"What is it?" Adam asked.

"Turn here," Ethan said.

Adam and Conner did as instructed and in another minute they crossed the threshold to Trent's chambers.

Meanwhile on the other side of the old palace, Tommy's team were nearing the Black Dino Thunder Ranger's quarters. It was dark and there wasn't any sound to he heard.

"Keep alert," Tommy said.

He was having a terrible feeling. Something was about to go wrong. He just knew it was.

Rocky opened large double doors to reveal a bed chamber. It was decorated in black, red, green, and white. He walked into the living area and the team followed.

"This must be Dr. Oliver's rooms," Aisha whispered.

"Stop," Tommy ordered to his team in a whisper. "Gather around."

The four Rangers made a huddled circle.

"Alright," Tommy said in a hushed a tone. "I want Billy to take the front, then Aisha, Rocky, and I bring up the tail. Got it?"

"Yeah," Rocky and Aisha said at once.

Billy only nodded and moved into position. Aisha got behind him and Rocky behind her. Tommy remained behind as the team began to move forward.

The Blue Ranger stared at his scanner. It was now going crazy. The former Pink Ranger was very close.

"She's here," he told the others.

The Rangers walked towards the area with the bed. They remain silent still cautious. They weren't sure if there were guards or not.

Then, all of sudden, Tommy was grabbed by a black gloved hand.

Back in the Drago Danger's chambers, Conner's team carefully approached the sleeping girl. They knew she was Kira.

"Be careful," Conner said as he gently lifted his teammate from the bed.

Ethan still held the scanner and Adam watched the door.

"Come on," the Red Ranger said. "Let's go and find the others."

"Right," Ethan and Adam said only turning for a seond to stare that leader.

When they turned back, Trent was standing before his Drago Sword in his hand. He had used his chameleon power to sneak in. He waved it in the air and laser arrows appeared. The arrows flew at the Rangers and hit them hard.

Conner turned so his body was hit and not Kira's. Ethan flew back on the bed and Adam fell to the floor. They were all in serious pain.

"Well, look who I have here," The White Ranger said. "Three Rangers all in a row."

He looked at each before turning his attention to Conner alone. The Drago Ranger glared through his visor at his rival. Trent pointed his sword at the Red Ranger.

"Put her down," Trent ordered.

"No," Conner said.

"You don't want here to her hit, do you?"

Trent took a step forward.

Conner silently hand Kira to Ethan who gently placed the girl on the bed. The Red Tyranno Ranger took out his Tyranno staff and stepped forward.

"Bring it on," he said.

Trent backed up into the living area. Not to escape, but to give them room for the long awaited fight. Conner followed keeping his guard up.

"I can't wait to finally defeat you, Red Ranger," Trent said.

"Well, you're gonna to wait a little while longer," Conner said back.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah."

"Well, then," Trent said before he attacked.

In Dr. Oliver's chambers, Tommy was fighting his future self. Dr. O, who had snuck back to his chambers by using his power invisibility, had his Brachio Staff and Tommy held his old friend, his talking sword, Saba. They fought until the White Ranger had the Black Ranger up against the wall.

"You know she's going to hurt you," Dr. Oliver told his younger self about Kimberly.

"I know," Tommy said back.

"Then why save her?"

"Because I'm a Power Ranger," Tommy said bluntly. "It's what we do."

"Not me, not anymore," Dr. Oliver said as he pushed his younger self away.

"Guys," the White Ranger said. "Grab Kim and go the others."

"What about you?" Aisha asked.

"I'll hold back Dr. Oliver," Tommy said. "You guys just get out of here."

The two Olivers were fighting again. Dr. O was trying to get to Kim and Tommy was trying to prevent Dr. Oliver from getting to Kim.

"We can't go," Billy argued. "You're not strong enough. You could loose power at any time moment."

"I don't care," Tommy argued back.

"Wait a minute," Aisha said. "We can't just leave you here."

Rocky lifted Kim from the bed prepared to follow orders. He knew it was a bad idea, but they were wasting time. They came for Kim and Kira. The needed to get out of here before things got worse.

Billy turned to Rocky. The Blue Ranger wasn't about to leave Tommy here alone. It was just what their enemies would want; but they couldn't leave Kim here either.

"Rocky," the Blue Ranger said. "Take Kim and get out of here. Aisha and I will stay here and help Tommy."

"Billy," Tommy said warningly.

"No, we're staying," Billy said with no bridge of argument.

"Right," Rocky said and quickly headed toward the door.

"No," Dr. Oliver exclaimed.

The Black Brachio Ranger for the Red Ranger. The Yellow Ranger kicked him. He fell back towards the Blue Ranger who also kicked him. The White Ranger hit him several times in the head until, finally, Dr. Oliver passed out.

As soon as the older Ranger's body fell to the ground he demorphed. Tommy grabbed him and hoisted Dr. O onto his shoulder.

"Man, what is this guy eating," Tommy said complaining about the weight.

"Maybe you should make a note to yourself," Aisha said.

"Yeah," Tommy said. "Now let's out of here."

"Yeah," the others agreed and they left the rooms to go and search for their friends.

Meanwhile back in Trent's rooms, Conner swung his Tyranno Staff at the Evil White Drago Ranger. Trent blocked the attack and kicked Conner's side, knocking the Red Ranger off his feet. Adam gave the White Ranger a round house kick and Ethan hit Trent on the back with a his clasped fists.

Trent used his speed to get away from the team. He was closer to Kira. With a smiled he approached the still unconscious girl.

Kira began to stir. She moaned and her eyes opened. She saw Trent approaching her and her eyes widened in fear of his earlier torture of her. She didn't even realize Adam, Conner, and Ethan were in the room until Conner used his super speed.

The Tyranno Ranger slammed his Tyranno Staff into the White Ranger's gut. Trent fell further towards Kira. Kira took a deep breath and seeing her do so made the Black, Blue, and Red Rangers move as far from the bed area as possible. Kira let out a very loud Ptera Scream. Trent literally flew back, over the three other Rangers, and hit the wall on the opposite side of the room.

Ethan powered up using his armor to enhance strength. He lifted the now demorphed and unconscious Trent to his shoulder.

"Come on," Conner said helping Kira up.

They left the set of rooms.

About ten minutes Tommy and Conner's teams reunited.

"I see you have some extra baggage," Tommy said in a strained voice.

"Yeah," Conner said. "I see we're not the only ones."

"Yeah," Tommy said.

"Can we get the hell out of here," Kira said.

"Yes," Billy agreed.

The Rangers got together and all at once teleported from the moon.

"You idiots," Zedd exclaimed. "How could you let this happen?"

"How were we supposed to know those Power Geeks were going to actually come here and take their friends back?" Rito argued.

"Yeah," Goldar said.

Lord Zedd glowed red in his anger. Rita was on the balcony nursing a headache. Mesogog approached Elsa, Goldar, and Rito. He used his mind tortured on them. They cried out in pain and grabbed their heads.

"Master," Elsa said.

"This Is your fault," Mesogoog hissed. "You were to keep an eye n them."

"But Master," she said. "We were expecting Oliver and Mercer here."

Mesogog hissed sharply and increased the pain on Rito, Goldar, and Elsa.

The three were sent to fetch the Black Brachio and White Drago Rangers when the two did not appear in the throne room. Rito, Goldar, and Elsa heard Kira's Ptera Scream and rushed to assist the evil Rangers, but when they got to the rooms , they found the Rangers, good and bad, gone.

"Master," Elsa strained. "At least, the Black and White Dino Thunder Rangers are still on our side."

Mesogog paused in his torture.

:"Yes, " Rita said. "Now leave me alone."

"Excellent," Mesogog said and waved his hand to dismiss Rito , Goldar, and Elsa.

"Leave," Zedd ordered.

The three scurried off.
