Disclaimer: Still don't own Power Rangers.

A/N: Again, thanks for the reviews everyone! That's what keeping me going. Credit goes to reviewer Shaneypooh for the monster this time. I'm always accepting monster ideas, cause I'm really no good at making them up.

The entire group was in Tommy's driveway the next Friday afternoon. Jason was busy hooking the trailer with the dirt bikes to his truck, Tommy was packing most of the supplies and other essentials into the bed of Jason's truck, and everyone else was just standing around talking.

"You know, I'm really not a big fan of you guys going dirt biking. I don't care how many times I've said it." Kimberly commented as she watched the two of them work. "I just don't see what's so wrong with four wheeling instead. That's a lot safer."

"Aw, come on, Kim. You know that's not as fun." Zack laughed.

"Yea, besides," Jason spoke up. "Three four wheelers wouldn't fit on this puny little trailer."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Tommy called out from behind them all. "Your truck couldn't pull three four wheelers! I don't want to hear anymore shots at my trailer."

"Watch it, Oliver!" Jason challenged with a smile on his face. "You ought to know better than to insult a man's truck."

The group just started laughing. David smiled as he put his arm around Trini. Things had been going better for him this past week. There had been two monster attacks since his little outburst, but no more team conflicts within the group. His date with Trini had been incredible, and they even had plans to go out again tonight. He had made peace with most of the team too. Even Jason was on acceptable terms with him, they just never really spoke one on one to each other, which was good enough for everyone else.

"So, Dave and Tri, you two got another big date tonight, huh?" Zack asked.

"Yea, you know, dinner and a movie. The usual." David answered.

"We're going to go see a comedy. David's finally hit that point where action movies just don't cut it anymore." Trini added on with a smile, causing the whole team to laugh. When the original five Rangers first got their powers, they had gone to see an action movie after a day of fighting monsters, and it had proved be a horrible experience. Trini had been bored enough, but Kim fell asleep on her, and the guys were making comments that put Mystery Science Theater 3000 to shame all the way through, picking out every tiny flaw. It didn't stop there, either, because the whole rest of the night when they weren't near a crowd they began comparing the scenes to their own experiences.

"Well, Kimberly, I guess that leaves it just us tonight." Billy commented, then smiled as he looked at Tommy. "I guess we're going on a date too."

Tommy rolled his eyes. That's what he gets for dating the girl that happened to be the little sister of the group. But he finally hit the point where he fought back. "Yea, Kim was telling me how bad she wanted to go to the mall and do some shopping."

"Actually, that's a great idea! Thanks, Tommy! What do you say, Billy?" Kimberly asked him, suddenly very excited that she had someone to carry her bags.

"Well, actually now that I'm thinking about it. I've got to go home and make a bomb." Billy said, causing Kimberly to stare at him blankly before he continued. "You know. To blow my arms off."

Kimberly swatted him on the arm. "You're just as bad as Tommy!" she yelled, but the whole team was laughing.

"Alright, I think we're ready." Jason commented, looking over everything. The team then said all their farewells for the weekend as Jason, Tommy, and Zack all climbed into Jason's truck, and headed out to the mountains.

The guys made it to the mountains in pretty good time, not stopping once. Tommy's uncle was gone, so it was all theirs this weekend. Just as they were getting unpacked, however, their communicators sounded off, causing several grunts of dissatisfaction before Tommy answered his.

"Tommy here, what's up?" he asked, already knowing what the answer was going to be.

"Report to the Command Center," Zordon's voice boomed through the communicator. "Lord Zedd has unleashed his newest monster on Angel Grove."

"We're on our way." Tommy said as he nodded to Jason and Zack, and they teleported out. When they arrived at the Command Center, the others were already there and looking at the viewing globe. Tommy frowned as he looked over the newest monster. It was a giant squid with two feet and extra long arms, basically.

"Rangers, this is the Screaming Squid." Zordon explained. "It attacks by firing powerful sound waves into its targets, stunning them. It's many arms are very dangerous as well, you must be careful."

"Alright, guys." Tommy said, stepping forwards as the other Rangers reached for their morphers. "It's morphin' time!"

"Dragonzord!"

"Tigerzord!"

"Mastodon!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Triceratops!"

"Saber Tooth Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!"

They morphed and teleported out like always, and Alpha went back to work.

They appeared downtown on another rooftop, facing off with the Screaming Squid. A quick glance showed them that there were no putties or anything else. Good... Tommy thought to himself.

"Power Rangers! I've been expecting you! Prepare to die!" The giant squid announced, and emitted a high pitched screech that brought the seven Rangers to their knees, trying to cover their ears. Trini was able to pull out her blaster and get a shot off, however, knocking the monster away, giving the Rangers the time they needed to recover.

"Attack!!!" Tommy yelled out, not wanting to waste a second of the time they had just gained. The Rangers all drew their weapons and charged at the monster, only to be swatted in different directions by its many arms. David quickly rolled to his feet and pointed the Dragon Dagger forwards, releasing an energy beam from it that blasted the monster up against a wall. Kimberly quickly raised her bow as it was stumbling, and began to fire arrow after arrow at an incredible speed, sticking every one of the Screaming Squid's arms to the wall behind it. Jason was up in a heartbeat, charging forward with his sword to finish it off before it let out another sonic wave, sending the team to their knees once again. The Screaming Squid ripped its arms from the wall finally, and quickly ran and jumped off the edge, catching a grenade that came straight from outer space. The Rangers all ran to the edge to look after it, but a horde of putties appeared before them.

"Damn!" Tommy yelled as they stopped in front of all the putties, and the giant Screaming Squid emerged from behind them, turning to attack the city.

"We have to stop him!" Billy yelled out.

"What about these guys?" Kimberly asked.

"We'll get a Megazord out there dealing with him, and the other two will catch up later!" Tommy said quickly.

"Which Megazord?" David asked, not trying to mask the aggravation in his voice at all. He knew it, he was going to be stuck fighting the putties again.

"Take the Thunder Megazord, guys. David, get the Dragonzord out there and play support, while you and I will deal with these guys!" Tommy finished up, and the other Rangers all nodded. David just stood there, burning with frustration once again.

"You got it!" Jason nodded, looking to the other Rangers, then towards the screaming Squid. "Alright! We need Thunderzord Power, now!"

"Mastodon Lion Thunderzord Power!"

"Pterodactyl Firebird Thunderzord Power!"

"Triceratops Unicorn Thunderzord Power!"

"Saber Tooth Tiger Griffin Thunderzord Power!"

"Tyrannosaurus Red Dragon Thunderzord Power!"

The five Thunderzords quickly arrived on the scene, and the five original Rangers leaped into them, forming up the Thunder Megazord, David called forth the Dragonzord as he helped Tommy fight the putties.

"All systems powered up," Billy said, looking at his monitors.

"Alright, Rangers, let's do this!" Jason yelled, and he piloted the Thunder Megazord forwards into battle.

The Thunder Megazord slammed its right fist into the monster with incredible force, launching it backwards into the streets. The Screaming Squid was up in a heartbeat, and lashed its arms out, grabbing both of the Thunder Megazord's with two, and viciously attacking it with the other arms.

"We can't take much more of this!" Trini screamed as the cockpit shook violently, sparks flying everywhere.

"We're in full reverse! We can't break it!" Jason yelled out, struggling with the controls, but unable to do very much.

"What the hell is Dragonzord doing over there!?" Kimberly screamed, looking over at the stationary Zord.

"David must be too occupied with the putties." Billy reasoned while messing with the control panels near him.

"Jason! Charge forward!" Zack suddenly yelled, only to have all the Rangers turn to look at him. Zack knew, despite the helmets, that they were looking at him like he had just told them to announce their identities over the Megazord's PA system. "Just do it, TRUST ME!"

Jason shrugged, and hit the controls forwards. The Thunder Megazord charged forwards, practically tackling the Screaming Squid backwards and making it lose it's grip. The Thunder Megazord didn't waste any time, and they brought it forwards and slammed a foot into the downed monster. The monster leaped back to its feet, and put some distance between it and the Rangers.

Tommy looked to the battle as he finished off the last putty. David was somewhere behind him, he didn't really care. "David, get Dragonzord moving! They need help!" Tommy yelled as he jumped on the building's ledge, getting ready to summon the White Tigerzord.

"Wait! Wait, Tommy we have a problem!" David called from behind him, sounding really worried.

"What's wrong!?" Tommy called back, not even turning around, he knew the others needed them, he didn't want to waste any time.

David raised his Dragon Dagger, pointing it right at Tommy's back, with a push of a button, he released a green energy beam straight into Tommy's back, the impact snapping his head back, twisting his spine into an unnatural shape, and launching him clear over the edge. Tommy never knew what hit him, he wasn't even conscious long enough to let out a scream of pain, all he could do was fall to the streets below.

"I'm through with the Power Rangers." David coldly remarked as he held the Dragon Dagger to his mouth, and began playing.
