Disclaimer: Still don't own Power Rangers.

A/N: Another big thanks to those who reviewed! EXTRA long chapter this time around, because it was either one really big chapter or two really short ones. Biggest one, yet! Enjoy!

The next day was a beautiful, with clear skies and a warm temperature, and Kimberly was once again trying to enjoy a simple jog. Last night's date with Tommy had gone great. They hadn't done anything special other than sit around and enjoy each other's company, something that they hadn't been able to do for quite awhile. However, despite how great everything seemed, the harsh reality that David was still on the loose, and Zedd's forces were even more suspicious than usual was still fresh on her mind. Her jog took her from her own neighborhood, to the park, past the youth center, and now she was in Billy and Trini's neighborhood. And David's. She picked up her pace a little bit as she passed by his house, just to be safe. Looking down the street as she kept going, she smiled when she saw who was walking down it towards her.

"Hey Billy!" she called out, picking up her pace and running over to him.

"Kim!" Billy said as they stopped on the side of the road. "What are you doing all the way out here?"

"I'm on a super jog!" Kim said, running in place. "Started from my house."

"Jeeze! That's a good distance!" Billy answered, pretty surprised. He had assumed she'd started from the Youth Center or something.

"Feels great! Where are you headed?" she asked.

"Youth Center. Zack says its good to mix fighting styles, so he's going to try and teach me a bit of Hip Hop Kido," Billy answered, shaking his head.

Kimberly stopped running in place, with a big grin on her face. "Well I'm going, too. I've got to see this."

"Gee, thanks," Billy said, rolling his eyes as they started heading back towards the entrance of the neighborhood, and to the Youth Center. "So how was last night with Tommy?"

"Oh it was gr-" Kim started, only to be cut off.

"He was a gentleman, right? He didn't hurt you? Didn't make a move? 'Cause if he did I swear I'll..." Billy interrupted, only to have Kimberly slap him on the arm, causing him to start laughing.

"Alright, Jason," Kimberly said with a laugh, too. Billy and Zack always took whatever opportunity they had to make fun of how protective Jason was of the two girls. "So how's Trini?"

"Great. The whole family's just ecstatic," Billy answered. "We ended up going over there for dinner, boy were they all just so excited."

"Well, I bet so," Kim reasoned.

"They called the police and said she was back, and Trini reported that it was David, for sure," Billy said. "So that's even more evidence against him."

"But it doesn't matter," David interrupted. The two of them stopped and turned to see David standing next to his car, arms crossed and with a cruel smile on his face. They hadn't even realized they were passing back by David's house, they'd been too caught up in their conversation.

"It's over, David," Kimberly said with a glare. "Just turn in the power morphers..."

"Right," David said, walking over towards them. "Turn in the morphers, and be defenseless. You must think I'm a damn fool."

"Oh, we know that," Billy replied, narrowing his eyes. "You've given us more than enough evidence to prove that."

"You're going to lose, David. Just stop this, now," Kimberly almost pleaded.

"Who's going to stop me? You?" David challenged, looking Kimberly in the eyes. Then he turned and looked to Billy. "Or you?"

"I'm not afraid of you," Billy told David, who just laughed.

"Maybe I should remind you what happened last time?" David suggested, and Billy frowned in confusion. David took that opportunity and threw a straight punch to his face, knocking Billy to the asphalt.

"Billy!" Kimberly screamed, and ran right at David. David quickly spun around, though, and delivered a backhand across the side of Kimberly's face, knocking her away, too.

Suddenly, Billy and Kimberly's communicators started beeping. Billy ignored it, though. He knew it wasn't for him, it was Zordon contacting all the other Rangers, telling them what exactly was happening here.

David realized it too, and with a cruel smirk he reached around behind his back. That smirk disappeared when he didn't feel anything there. Then he realized it. He'd left his morpher inside. His eyes widened as he realized the other Rangers could arrive at any second, and he bolted for his house, kicking the recovering Kim back down as he passed her.

"Kim!" Billy yelled, stopping by her to make sure she wasn't hurt too bad.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Kimberly coughed out, the wind had been knocked out of her. "Go! Go get him now!"

Billy nodded, and ran into the house at full speed. He charged through the front door and right up the stairs, seeing David run into a room. Billy chased right after him, entering the room behind him. David was fumbling with a little mini-safe, and just as he got it open, he was tackled by Billy. The three morphers spilled onto his floor.

David threw a knee into Billy's gut, knocking him away. Crawling forwards, David grabbed the green morpher, spinning around and smacking the approaching Billy in the face with it. Billy hit the ground hard, but happened to see his own morpher right in front of him. He quickly grabbed it, standing and turning at the same time as David. They both activated their morphers at the exact same time, thrusting them forwards and slamming them into each other.

"Dragonzord!"

"Triceratops!"

With a blinding flash of light they transformed, and the energy burst threw the two of them backwards into the wall.

"I'm not letting you get away this time!" Billy yelled, drawing his lance.

"Let's see what you've got!" David challenged back, pulling out his Dragon Dagger.

Billy, unfortunately, had to admit he knew where he was beat. David was too much for him to handle alone. Especially with the Green Ranger powers at maximum like this. He quickly formulated a plan, and ran across the small room, taking his first swing at David.

"Kimberly!!!" Tommy screamed as he saw her stumbling to her feet. He ran right over, with the other three behind him, and helped her up. "Are you ok!? What happened!?"

"Billy's in there!" Kimberly coughed out. "Hurry! We can't leave him alone with David!"

A flash of blue and green light coming from one of the windows caught their eyes.

"They've morphed..." Trini said, slowly. "Both of them!"

An object suddenly smashed through the window, landing in the grass a little bit in front of them. Zack ran over to it and as he picked it up, a smile came across his face.

"Trini! Catch!" he yelled, and threw her the morpher. Trini caught it with a big grin on her face.

"Let's go! He needs our help!" Jason said, and they all nodded. Tommy pointed to the two garage doors. One was open, and one was closed. They quickly ran into the open door, moving past David's mom's car, and went into the corner of the garage. Zack took another look at Mrs. Whaley's car and let out a small laugh.

"This'll be...interesting," he said, and an uneasy laughter came over the group.

"Alright everyone," Tommy said, and everyone reached for their morphers. "It's morphin' time!"

"Tigerzord!"

"Mastodon!"

"Pterodactyl!"

"Saber Tooth Tiger!"

"Tyrannosaurus!"

Tommy looked at his team as he pulled out Saba, but the others decided to stay unarmed for now.

"Let's do this, guys!" he said, and the five of them charged forwards. Jason kicked the door to the house open, and they stormed in.

"Lord Zedd...?" Goldar asked slowly, stepping up to him.

"What!?" Zedd yelled. He was busy watching the events at the Whaley house, trying to decide whether or not to get his forces involved.

"We're nearly done. Finster's working out the glitches, still, but we should be ready to execute the plan very shortly," Goldar reported.

Lord Zedd nodded. Good. That helped him make up his mind, he was getting involved. If the monster lost, whatever. It was one more body to the count. He looked around the Whaley house, taking notice of the study. He eyed an open book on the table, that for some reason just had his interest. He pointed his staff forwards and opened fire.

"David! DAVID!" Beth Whaley was pounding on her son's door, but receiving no answer. A lot of noise was coming from his room, not to mention that several pictures had fallen off the wall from whatever was going on. "David what are you doing in there!?"

Not getting an answer again, she opened the door with annoyance. Her eyes widened at the sight. The Blue and Green Rangers were right there in front of her, facing off from opposite ends of the room. Billy snapped his head over to the newest arrival, and went wide eyed behind his helmet.

"Ma'am! Get out of here, it's dangerous!" Billy yelled at her, as if she couldn't tell that already. "Your son is safe!"

Beth just nodded very quickly, and closed the door. She slowly backed away from the door, trying to think just what she should do. She decided the best thing to do right now was to just leave the house. Turning around, her eyes went even wider when she saw the White, Red, Black, Yellow, and Pink Rangers running down the hallway towards her. Just when she didn't think it could get any weirder, a giant book with feet and teeth charged through a door next to them, sending splinters flying everywhere. In one swift movement, the book monster slammed itself shut on the Black Ranger.

"Shit!" Jason yelled, throwing a right handed punch at the monster. However, the monster turned, and kicked Jason backwards with Zack's feet that were sticking out.

"Hold on!" Trini yelled, pulling her blade blaster out. She took a quick aim and fired at the monster, but it turned in time to let Zack's feet take the hit. Trini winced when she heard Zack's muffled screams of pain.

"Go! Go, I got this!" Jason yelled, as he grabbed Zack's feet and started pulling.

"Uh..." Kimberly started, not exactly sure that was going to work.

"Come on! Come on!" Tommy yelled, not as worried about the two of them as he was about Billy right this second.

Tommy, Trini, and Kimberly turned around just in time to see David's mom sprint down another hallway, and heard her storming down a second set of stairs. Tommy charged forwards, and with a jump kick he knocked David's door right off it's hinges. David and Billy stopped fighting once again, and both spun to look at Tommy

"Son of a..." David started, but Kimberly and Trini ran into the room, blade blasters drawn. They both fired at the exact same time, blasting the Green Ranger straight through the wall and onto his front yard.

"You ok, man!?" Tommy yelled as he ran over to Billy, who just gave a quick nod. Kimberly and Trini were already on the move, and leaped out the giant hole in the wall. Billy and Tommy leaped out right behind him, and the four of them stood side by side as David got to his feet.

"You can't beat us, David!" Tommy yelled, holding his sword ready. "Give up! NOW!"

"You don't scare me!" David replied, pointing his Dragon Dagger forwards and opening fire on them. Tommy and Trini quickly dove to one side while Kimberly and Billy leaped the other way, and the blast slammed into the front door, blasting it to a million pieces. David ignored it. He didn't care about this place.

Suddenly, the Black Ranger was thrown through another portion of the wall, landing by the four of them.

"Zack!" Kimberly yelled as she helped him to his feet. The other Rangers were too busy waiting on David to strike. "Are you alright!?"

"I'm fine!" Zack yelled, clearly frustrated with the way this was going. He and Kim looked up to see the Red Ranger backflipping out of the hole, and he landed near them. The book monster ran to the hole, and looked down at them with a laugh.

"What IS that thing!?" Trini yelled, and with perfect timing, Billy's communicator beeped.

"Yea?" Billy quickly answered to it.

"It is called the Encycloeater," Alpha quickly said. "No seemingly special powers. Looks like it was made pretty fast."

"What the hell is with Zedd's half-assed monsters!?" Jason demanded, getting pretty frustrated.

"It is still very powerful. Take no chances," Zordon commanded through the communicator.

"Alright. Ready everyone!?" Tommy asked, and everyone quickly nodded. "Let's do this!"

Tommy and Jason ran straight at David, who took a swing at them with the Dragon Dagger. Tommy ducked under the swing, and Jason jumped over Tommy from behind, throwing a dropkick into David's chest. It was one of those hits that made the kicker feel like the most powerful being alive, and the receiver feel like the most worthless. David was launched backwards, slamming into his neighbor's mailbox, leaving nothing behind but splinters and a twisted heap of metal. He quickly stumbled to his feet. The Red and White Rangers were the two he was on even ground with. Combined? He didn't have a chance. As the two of them ran towards him, he tapped a button on his morpher and teleported away.

"Coward!!!" Jason screamed at the retreating green streak.

"Forget him for now! Come on!" Tommy yelled, and they ran back towards the other battle.

The other four Rangers were using their blade blasters, firing on the monster from all sides. The Encycloeater didn't seem to be too affected by the blasts, however. Finally, it made it's way over to Billy, and delivered a powerful slash across his chest. Billy was sent rolling backwards, and Kim ran at the monster from behind, switching her pistol to dagger mode. The monster suddenly turned around, swinging at Kim this time and knocking her away. The Encycloeater then opened it's giant book body, smacking the approaching Black and Yellow Rangers away. It then grabbed David's car, quickly throwing it at Jason and Tommy. The two of them jumped to opposite sides, and the car slammed into the house across the street.

"Hey, we'll deal with this!" Jason said, turning to Tommy.

"Alright. I'll track down David!" Tommy replied, and Jason nodded.

"Good! We're right behind you!" Jason said. Tommy nodded this time, and teleported away as the four Rangers stepped up next to Jason on either side. "Alright, Power Rangers. We're not wasting anymore time here! Weapons, READY!"

The five Rangers all held their hands out, forming their weapons in them. After that, they took their battle stances.

"Let's bring 'em together!!!" Jason yelled.

"Power Ax!" Zack called out as he moved the slide forwards on his ax, converting it to it's cannon mode. He then threw it up into the air.

"Power Bow!" Kimberly cried out as she unstrung her bow, and threw it up in the air two. It latched onto Zack's weapon, hovering there.

"Power Lance!" Billy called out as he split his lance into it's two separate halves. He threw them up into the air, and they latched onto the weapon as well.

"Power Daggers!" Trini cried out next, spinning her daggers a second before she threw them up, too.

"Power Sword!" Jason finished up, leaping in the air to the Power Blaster. He placed his sword on top of the giant weapon, and it instantly powered up. Jason landed next to the Rangers, holding the Power Blaster ready. They all stepped up next to him, and the Encycloeater stepped back in fear. "READY!!!"

"FIRE!!!" the five Rangers all yelled as Jason pulled the trigger. Massive energy beams poured out of the five weapon barrels, slamming right into the Encycloeater. The monster was thrown backwards and straight into David's house. Once inside the house, the monster exploded, taking the entire house down with it.

"Good work everyone!" Jason said as they all took their weapons back, and he made sure David's mom's car was gone. No innocent casualties this time around. About time. His communicator beeped, and he answered it with a smile. "Go ahead."

"Jason!" Tommy called into it, sounding pretty frantic. "Get everyone to the Command Center!"

That was all they needed to hear, and without a word, the five of them teleported away.

The Rangers arrived in the Command Center, and took of their helmets. What they saw was a complete mess. Consoles were torn up, sparks shooting up everywhere, Alpha was on the floor, and Zordon was gone. The Rangers all put their helmets down and went to look at all the damage up close.

"Dammit!" Zack yelled, punching a destroyed console.

"He must have come straight here," Tommy said, shaking his head while watching Billy get to work on repairing Alpha. Meanwhile, Trini went to what was left of the consoles, trying to get them to work.

"This is it. This is going to be the end," Kimberly said, and this time she knew she was right. "David has to be stopped. Now."

"He's got nowhere to run...we've got nowhere to run," Jason agreed, looking around at the damage.

"Rangers! It's David! Be careful!" Alpha yelled as he came back online, causing everyone to jump and look around. "Oh...where am I?"

"He's gone, Alpha," Billy said, as everyone took a deep breath. Billy pulled Alpha to his feet.

"Rangers! He came and attacked, but it was strange!" Alpha said.

"Strange? What was strange?" Tommy asked, getting a little worried, now.

"He disabled Zordon and took me out, but I was still operating long enough to see him tampering with the controls. Only after changing some settings did he start blasting them," Alpha reported.

"Change? I wonder what he changed..." Kim thought out loud. She didn't like the sound of that at all.

"Viewing globe online!" Trini happily called out, proud of herself for that one. They all turned to see the Dragonzord attacking downtown Angel Grove.

"Man...AGAIN!?" Zack yelled in frustration. "This guy's more predictable than Zedd!"

"Only this time, he's up against the entire fleet," Tommy reminded them, and they all nodded. "We're going to tear him up this time. Full power. We'll do Thunder Megazord and Tigerzord. Sound good?"

The team let out a round of approval, picking their helmets back up.

"Alpha, see what you can do about bringing Zordon back," Billy said, although he knew they wouldn't be slowed down at all this time around. After Tommy's tenure as the Evil Green Ranger he had helped make the Zords and everything else independent of Zordon. They were still going to hit David with everything they had.

"I'm on it!" Alpha said, and went to work repairing the consoles. The rest of the team turned to Tommy, who just shook his head with a smile.

"You made the line up," Tommy said, looking to Jason. "It's only right."

"Alright," Jason said with an amused laugh. "Back to action!"

The six Rangers appeared in the the middle of the city streets, looking right up at the Dragonzord. The Green Ranger's Zord looked at them, and began moving towards them at a much faster pace than it usually had.

"Ready!?" Tommy yelled.

"Ready!" the rest of the Rangers replied.

"Alright!" Tommy cried out, spinning Saba around. "I need Tigerzord Power, NOW!"

"We need Thunderzord Power, NOW!" the other five yelled out.

"Mastodon Lion Thunderzord Power!" Zack called out, going through the appropriate hand motions.

"Pterodactyl Firebird Thunderzord Power!" Kimberly cried out. Her Zord was fully repaired from it's previous battle by now.

"Triceratops Unicorn Thunderzord Power!" Billy called out, happy to be back in the field again.

"Saber Tooth Tiger Griffin Thunderzord Power!" Trini yelled, ready to make David pay for all of this.

"Tyrannosaurus Red Dragon Thunderzord Power!" Jason summoned last, about to go crazy. He wanted to be in the Megazord and ending this right now.

The six of them waited but...nothing happened.

"White Tiger...power...?" Tommy asked no one in particular. He was getting worried.

"Power...of...thunder?" Jason said at about the same time, just as worried.

"...They should be here by now!" Trini said in a panic as the Dragonzord got closer.

That's when they noticed. The Dragonzord was more powerful than it had ever been before. It was moving faster, it's blasts had caused more damage to the buildings...It was getting more power than normal. Power that was supposed to be going to the other Zords. The Rangers took a few steps back as the Dragonzord moved in towards them. They realized then that they had fallen into a trap.

The Dragonzord's finger missiles loading up shook them from their thoughts. It was Tommy that spoke the words all of them were thinking. "Oh shit..."

A/N: Dun dun dun...cliffhanger! You didn't think I'd let you off easy after such a long chapter, did you? And you might be wondering why they didn't just cut the power to Dragonzord before...don't worry. There's an explanation coming soon.
