Disclaimer: Of course I obviously do not own Power Rangers. Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. However I do claim ownership of the Element Force powers, zords, and weapons, as well as the Omega Hub and all original characters.

Chapter 5:
Flight of the Pteradon
Last time on Power Rangers:
"Billy, what is the status of the Zords?" asked Zordon, appearing in his plasma tube.
"Construction is complete on the Zords themselves. The bios is now uploading to the onboard computer systems," said Billy.
"I believe it's time to bring in Brachion," she said after a few minutes of silence.
"My Queen, are you sure? Our history books show that Brachion nearly destroyed this planet before your own great grandfather destroyed him," said Stegma.
"Do not question my judgment, Stegma. I will merely put a restrictor on his power levels," said Titanica.
"Looks like you should see a doctor about that neck problem, first," said Justin.
"It was old sixty-five million years ago, and it is still old now, human," said Brachion. He lifted one of his legs and stomped the ground. The seismic wave produced knocked the rangers down.
Raising his bone sword Brachion slashed the Super Zeo Megazord across the chest. Billy's voice came over the speakers.
"Guys get out of their before the Megazord explodes!" came Billy's voice from a speaker inside the cockpit.
"Element Megazord, Warrior Mode Online!" said the five Rangers.
On the Moon Palace, Queen Titanica was pacing back and forth in front of her throne.
"My Queen, might I suggest a course of action to take against those insufferable Power Rangers?" asked King Gigantus.
"Actually, my King I need you to travel to Liaria. The wizard, Lerigot has returned to Liaria. I need you to make sure that our hold on the planet is firm," said Titanica.
"Yes, my Queen, at once," said Gigantus, rising from his throne and heading towards the shuttle hangar.
"Now then, to take care of those Power Punks!" said Titanica. "Stegma bring me a Pteranodon skeleton."
"Yes my Queen. I will prepare for the ritual in the Ceremony Chamber," said Stegma. Titanica walked to the Ceremony Chamber and took her scepter from the stand and waited for Stegma to finish his preparations.
"Now then, it's time for our plans to take flight with the soaring Pteradon," said Queen Titanica, raising her scepter over the Pteranodon skeleton. "Gli alcoolici diabolici del sin e della disputa, portano a questo Dinotopian la nuova vita. Riporti il dino che è perito qui. Viva ancora e riappaia!" she cried out.
The skeleton began to glow and reform, flesh growing and covering the skeleton, and at last the reptilian skin. In a flash, the Pteranodon was standing erect, clothed in leather armor. Pteradon stretched out her arms and screeched. "My Queen, what is it that you would have me do?" she asked.
"Pteradon, it is time that we repopulate the Earth. I will send down a legion of Raptors to distract the Rangers. I want you to lay your eggs throughout the city."
"It would be my pleasure," said Pteradon.
"Now Pteradon, fly over Angel Grove and build your nests," said Titanica.
"Yes my Queen," said Pteradon, teleporting away in a mottled green beam of light.
On Earth, Billy was working in the Zeo Zord Holding Bay with Justin and Alpha, repairing the damage done to the Super Zeo Zords after the battle with Brachion.
" Super Zeo 1 is nearly operational again," reported Billy.
"As is Super Zeo 2," said Justin.
"I've just completed repairs to Super Zeo 3," said Alpha.
"Good then. I repaired Super Zeo 4 and 5 last night," said Billy.
"Billy, is there a way to strengthen the Super Zeo Zords, you know, just in case we need them?" asked Justin.
"I am really not sure. Trey of Triforia gave us the Super Zeo Gems, and when energized by the Gold Zeo Ranger, they transformed into the Super Zeo Zords. The problem we run into is that I'm not sure how to draw more power from the Zeo Crystal. Zeo Power is radically different from the power that comes from the Morphin Grid," said Billy.
"That is correct, Billy," said Alpha. "When we were creating the Turbo Powers we could not simply 'upgrade' the Zeo Powers. We had to start from the beginning by establishing a connection to the Morphin Grid, but we also had to ensure the Rangers could make it safely through the Nemesis Triangle. Therefore we based the Turbo Keys off of Lerigot's Golden Key. We used the Power Chamber's already established connection to the Morphin Grid and linked it to the Pedestal of Turbo Power. The Pedestal took the Raw Morphin energy and refined it into Turbo Power. We used that to create the Turbo Zords and then channeled the Turbo Power into the Morpher," explained Alpha.
"With the different power signatures of both the Morphin Grid and the Zeo Crystal it proved a challenge to fuse the two together. That's why we used Lerigot's Golden Key. It was able to fuse the Turbo Power and the Zeo Crystal into one," added Billy.
"The interesting thing about the Zeo Crystal is that it is just a fragment. The five Super Zeo Gems were also cut from that same Crystal source. The Gold Zeo Ranger gets his power from another fragment of that sane crystal source. His crystal is contained within his power staff," said Alpha.
"In order for us to increase the power of the Super Zeo Zords, we would need to find the original crystal bed that the Zeo Crystal was hewn from. It is sure to be protected, otherwise Master Vile would have gone after it instead of the Zeo Crystal on the moon," said Billy.
Justin was intrigued by the history that he was learning as he had not learned much about the Zeo Crystal when he was a Turbo Ranger. "Hopefully we won't have to take up that quest," he remarked.
Pteradon was flying over the city, landing on the tops of the skyscrapers to build nests and lay eggs. With enhanced camouflaging abilities, Pteradon remained hidden from the residents and workers of Angel Grove.
"Soon when my eggs hatch my little lovelies will need something to eat and those pathetic humans will be a tasty treat for them," said Pteradon as she flew to the next building.
Elsewhere in Angel Grove, a legion of raptors teleported in as beams of mottled green light. The Raptors divided into groups of five and split up, wreaking havoc across the city.
It wasn't soon after the Raptors appeared that the alarms started going off in the Omega Hub.
"Alec, please contact Justin, Billy, and Alpha in the Zeo Zord Holding Bay," said Zordon.
"Sure thing, Zordon," replied Alec. He pressed a button on the communications module.
"Go for Justin," came the ranger's voice from a speaker on the module.
"Justin, I need Alpha, Billy, and yourself to return to the Omega Hub at once," said Zordon.
"Right away," said Justin. In one beam of red, and two beams of white, Justin, Billy, and Alpha teleported back into the Omega Hub.
"Rangers, Titanica has sent down a legion of Raptors. They have divided across the town, necessitating that you split up," said Zordon.
"How many groups are there?" asked Selena.
"There are five groups of five," replied Zordon.
"Guys, it might be wise to use the Element Split feature," suggested Billy.
"Of course, we'll be able to split into five groups of two," said Derek.
"Go now, and may the power protect you," said Zordon.
"Ready rangers? Element Split!" cried out Justin, tapping the Element Split icon on his Element Caller.
"Element Split!" cried out the other four rangers.
In a flash of light the rangers began to glow. The five glowing bodies then split into ten.
"It's Morphin time!" cried out five of the glowing bodies.
"Zeo Ranger 1 Pink!" cried out Krista 1.
"Zeo Ranger 2 Yellow!" cried out Selena 1.
"Zeo Ranger 3 Blue!" cried out Derek 1.
"Zeo Ranger 4 Green!" cried out Alec 1.
"Zeo Ranger 5 Red!" cried out Justin 1.
"Shift into Turbo!" cried out the other five bodies.
"Mountain Blaster Turbo Power!" cried out Derek 2.
"Desert Thunder Turbo Power!" cried out Alec 2.
"Dune Star Turbo Power!" cried out Selena 2.
"Wind Chaser Turbo Power!" cried out Krista 2.
"Red Lightning Turbo Power!" cried out Justin 2.
Once morphed the ten rangers teleported out of the Omega Hub.
"We'll split up by color," said Turbo-Justin.
"If any of you run into trouble, call for back-up immediately," added Zeo-Justin.
"We do have access to our respective power weapons, Zeo and Turbo, that is," said Turbo-Justin.
"Blues, you take the South East Quadrant. Greens, you take the North West Quadrant. Yellows, you take the South West Quadrant. Pinks, you take the North East Quadrant, and we'll take the central area," said Zeo-Justin. "When your area is clear report back to us."
"Everything clear?" asked Turbo-Justin.
The eight other rangers nodded their hands and took off to their assigned areas. The two Justins hated to split the group up so much, but knew that it couldn't be helped. There was something nagging him though about the whole situation, he just wasn't sure what.
"Those Power Punks took the bait! While they're busy taking care of my Raptors, the eggs that Pteradon has laid will continue to grow," said Titanica to no one in particular, gleeful that her plan was working.
The two Blue Rangers found their targets and immediately went into battle. The duo worked together and were able to take care of the Raptors without too much difficulty.
"Red Turbo," said Turbo-Derek, tapping the side of his helmet. "Blue Turbo checking in, the South East Quadrant is clear."
"Copy that. You two head north and assist Pinks," said Turbo-Justin.
"Roger that," said Turbo-Derek.
The two Blue rangers took off and headed north to join the two Kristas.
"Man these guys are tougher than the last time we fought them," said Green Zeo as he flipped a Raptor onto its back.
"I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that the Zeo and Turbo Powers aren't as powerful. I've noticed that I'm having a less difficult time than you," replied Green Turbo.
"Your logic makes sense, so I guess that means my logic makes sense. This is still so weird," said Green Zeo.
After a few more minutes, the Raptors were all knocked out on their backs. They flashed and then teleported away.
"Green Zeo to Red Zeo. Northwest Quadrant Clear," reported Zeo-Alec.
"Great, you two head south to assist Yellows," said Red-Zeo.
"On it. Green Zeo over and out."
The two green rangers then headed south to help the two Yellow Rangers.
"Aye yai yai yai yai! Zordon, sensors are indicating the presence of groups of eggs on the top of sixty-seven percent of the skyscrapers in Angel Grove," said Alpha.
"They appear to be growing at a rapid pace," added Billy, checking the screen that Alpha was monitoring.
"If the bio-signature readings are correct, those are eggs of the Pteradon," said Zordon. "Once hatched the babies will have an insatiable hunger for flesh."
"There appear to be thirty total," said Billy.
"If those eggs are allowed to hatch, the devastation would be unimaginable," said Zordon. "I see now that Titanica used the Raptor attacks as a distraction for Pteradon to lay her eggs."
"But how did Pteradon go undetected," asked Billy.
"The Pteradon has unparalleled natural camouflaging abilities. With enhancements by Titanica, I am sure that even our sensors would not pick up her signal until she dropped her cloaking," replied Zordon. "Alert the Rangers immediately."
In the Central Area the two Red Rangers were waiting on the arrival of the other eight rangers. Greens and Yellows arrived first, followed shortly by Blues and Pinks.
"Good job guys," said Red Turbo. "Let's hea-"
But he was interrupted by Zordon's voice in their helmet speakers. "Rangers, the Raptor attacks appear to have been a distraction. Titanica used the Raptors to pre-occupy your time while her Pteradon laid eggs among the skyscrapers of Angel Grove."
"What can we do?" asked Red Turbo.
"Pteradon will still be protective over her eggs. They are indestructible while she still lives, but she will still return if they are attacked," came Zordon's reply.
"Understood. Where is the closest nest?" asked Blue Zeo.
"I'm teleporting you there now," said Billy.
In ten beams of light, the rangers were teleported away, only to rematerialize seconds later atop Bank of Angel Grove Tower.
"Look there's one of the nests," said Pink Turbo.
"Let's try to get Pteradon to show up," said Yellow Zeo.
"Zeo Laser Pistols on the ready," said Red Zeo.
"Auto Blasters on the ready," said Red Turbo.
"Fire!" cried out both red rangers.
The ten rangers shot at the Pteradon egg nest but nothing happened to them.
"Who dares to mess with my eggs?" came a loud shrill from behind them. The ten rangers turned around and saw that Pteradon was flying toward them.
"Guys, grab the nest," said Red Turbo.
Together, the ten rangers grabbed the nest. Red Turbo tapped his belt, and the ten rangers and nest teleported away in streams of light. Pteradon followed the light streaks to where they rematerialized outside of the city.
"Rangers, hasn't anyone ever told you not to mess with a mother's children?" shrieked Pteradon.
"Hasn't anyone told you that it's not polite to eat humans?" retorted Pink Turbo.
"Guys, let's bring it back together," said Red Turbo.
The ten rangers placed their hands on their belt buckles and cried out, "Element Fusion!"
The ten rangers glowed their respective colors until they were blurred. Then each pair of colors merged back together.
"Red Ignis Element Power!" cried out Justin.
"Blue Aqua Element Power!" cried out Derek
"Green Terra Element Power!" cried out Alec.
"Yellow Ventus Element Power!" cried out Selena
"Pink Spiritus Element Power!" cried out Krista
In a flash of light, the five Element Rangers appeared fully morphed.
"You're going down Pteradon," said Justin, pointing his right index finger at the flying Dinotopian.
"Not before my eggs hatch," screeched Pteradon. She jumped up in the air and glided towards the Rangers, mouth opened wide. The Rangers rolled out of the way and regrouped.
"Let's sure her the power of the Elements," said Justin. "Elemental Ignis Sword!" called out Justin and a double-edged silver sword with a gold hilt adorned with a ruby in the pommel appeared in his hand.
"Elemental Aqua Trident!" Derek called out and a blue and silver trident with a sapphire embedded in the cross-section appeared in his hands.
"Elemental Terra Shaker!" called out Alex and a large green hammer with an emerald in the end of the handle appeared in his hands.
"Elemental Ventus Twister!" called out Selena and a yellow fan with three silver blades adorned with a yellow citrine appeared in her hand.
"Elemental Spiritus Bow!" called out Krista and a pink and silver bow adorned with two pink topazes at the ends of the bow appeared in her hand.
Wheeling around, Pteradon glided towards the Rangers only to be met with outstretched weapons. She fell down in a tangle of legs and wings. The rangers backed up to give her room to stand.
"Pteradon, you're free to leave if you'll take your eggs and leave the Sol System forever," said Justin.
"I don't need your mercy," said Pteradon and drew a hand-cannon laser from her side. She blasted the rangers, causing them to fall down. What she didn't notice was that she had destroyed the nest of eggs the Rangers had taken. "What have I done?" she asked herself. "No, it's their fault."
The distraction gave the rangers time to get to their feet and regroup.
"Element Cannon!" cried out Justin.
Selena held up her Ventus Twister and Krista laid her Spiritus Bow across the top of the pistol grip. The handle of Alec's Terra Shaker shrunk down into the mallet which then split in half. He placed the two halves on top of the bow. The handle of Derek's Aqua Trident then shrunk down, leaving only the tip, which split in half along the middle prong. The two halves then attached to the ends of the bow. Finally, Justin placed his Ignis Sword on top.
"Element Cannon Fire!" they all cried out. A beam of red, blue, green, yellow, and pink shot out of the Element Cannon and hit Pteradon. The pterosaur fell to her knees and lay motionless.
"She's not finished yet, Rangers," said Titanica to herself. Grabbing her scepter she stretched her arm out over the balcony. "Le anime di Dinotopian dei guerrieri andati, portano di nuovo a vita questo Brachion! Ingrandisca il suoi corpo e e spirt a. Ora faccialo ordine di I voi!" she chanted. The crystal from her scepter glowed and shot a beam to Pteradon. The pterasaur began to glow and enlarge, growing to giant size.
"You'll not get another of my nests," said Pteradon as she began stomping around. The rangers dodged her feet until she finally took off into the air and headed back to the city.
"We can't let her back into Angel Grove. She'll destroy everything," said Selena, sounding a bit panicky.
"Time for some Megazord power," said Derek.
"Affirmative," replied Justin.
"We need Element Zord Power, now!" cried out the five Element Rangers.
"Spiritus Dogu Element Zord!" cried out Krista.
"Ventus Falcon Element Zord!" cried out Selena.
"Terra Bear Element Zord!" cried out Alec.
"Aqua Wolf Element Zord!" cried out Derek
"Ignis Dragon Element Zord!" cried out Justin.
From the Zord Holding Bay, five multicolored zords teleported out. They then appeared behind each respective ranger. The five Element Rangers teleported into their respective cockpits.
"Element zords, online," said all five of the rangers.
"Element Megazord Sequence, engage!" cried out Justin.
All five rangers pulled a lever in their zords. The Bear jumped into the air and its legs folded up inside of it. Then the head flew off. The body split in half and stayed stationary on the ground. Then the Dragon flew up in the air. Its wings retracted into its body and its arms did as well leaving hexagonal connector posts. The legs and feet folded behind it, forming a flat platform. The legs connected to the lion halves. The head then dropped inside of the chest cavity and a panel opened which the head came through. Shutters closed around the Dragon head. A back panel opened and a helmet flew out. Then the Dogu retracted its arms and legs and a panel slid open on its stomach. The head flew off revealing a hand. The Dogu attached to the right connecting post of the Dragon and the head flew back and attached to the shoulder. The Wolf's legs folded in and a panel slid open on it as well. The Wolf attached to the left connector post of the Dragon and the Wolf head flew off and attached to the left shoulder, revealing another hand. Finally the Falcon flew up and its wings rotated 90 degrees. The tail folded under it and the body slid vertically inside of the hole where the Dragon's head had been. The wings laid flat against the arms. The Falcon's head flew off and attached to the back of the Dragon, revealing a robotic humanoid face. Then the helmet from the Dragon's back lowered onto the head.
"Element Megazord, Warrior Mode Online!" said the five Rangers.
"Rangers, to fly after her, switch to Ventus Mode," said Billy through the communication console of the cockpit.
"Thanks, Billy," said Justin. "Element Megazord Ventus Mode Engage," said Justin, pulling a lever in front of him. Since the seats were arranged in a circle, they rotated around until Selena was in the center. While the seats were rotating, the Element Helmet lifted off the head and the Falcon Helmet detached from the back. The two switched positions and the Falcon helmet docked onto the head of the Megazord. Out of the Megazord's back, the dragon wings sprouted out. The wings flapped twice before the Megazord lifted off the ground. It did not take too long for the Megazord to catch up with Pteradon.
"Falcon vortex!" cried out Selena and the Megazord started spinning as it flew faster towards Pteradon. The impact knocked Pteradon out of the sky, barely missing the interstate. The Megazord picked up Pteradon and threw her back across the tree line away from the city. The Megazord flew back over as well as Pteradon got back to her feet.
"Element Megazord Warrior Mode Engage," said the five rangers. The seats rotated back to the original position, and the two helmets switched places again. "Element Megazord Saber!" the five cried out in unison. A giant saber appeared in the Megazords hands. "Element Strike!" The Megazord held the saber out with the emblem on the hilt facing the monster. The emblem glowed and formed a giant holographic projection of the emblem. The hand holding the sabre began to spin, forming a blurred circle. The current created by the spinning blade held Pteradon in place. Then the Megazord held the saber out horizontally and thrusted it into Pteradon. Pulling the saber out of Pteradon, the Megazord turned its back to the Dinotopian as it fell and exploded. Justin then pulled out his Element Caller and aimed it at the skeleton. In a flash of white light the skeleton reassembled itself and teleported back to the museum.
"Why is every Dinotopian that you suggest a failure!" screamed the outraged Titanica to a trembling Stegma.
"Your highness, you were the one to call for Pteradon. However, her eggs are still in Angel Grove and they will hatch soon," said Stegma.
As Titanica checked her monitors, all of the nests teleported away in white streaks. She followed the streaks as they left Earth and flew by the moon. "They've teleported them all away," said Titanica becoming more enraged.
"Well done rangers. With the threat of Pteradon eliminated, Billy was able to teleport Pteradon's nests to Frizzoid, a frozen planet in the M51 Galaxy," said Zordon.
"Without heat, the eggs will stop growing," explained Billy.
"Will she be able to find them?" asked Krista.
"It is a possibility, but even if they are recovered, their time on Frizzoid will cause them to never hatch," said Zordon. "Now then, I believe tha-" but he was interrupted by the blarings of the alarms.
"Aye yai yai yai yai! Zordon, we are receiving a distress signal from Liaria," exclaimed the panicked robot.
"Behold the Viewing Globe," said Zordon. The teens backed away as the three projectors displayed a three-dimensional image of Lerigot.
"Zordon, plea… …nd help. Telepo… ked. Com… scram… Gigantus," was all Lerigot was able to transmit before the transmission ended.
The End
Next time on Power Rangers:
"Rangers, you must travel to Liaria to rescue Lerigot," said Zordon. "However if Earth is left defenseless, Titanica will take advantage of your absence."
"We can use the Element Split to divide ourselves between Earth and Liaria," suggested Justin.
"Power Rangers, what a pleasant un-surprise. I'm sure that my Titanica is pummeling your other halves as we speak. Do you really think that Turbo Technology is strong enough to stop me and liberate this planet?" taunted King Gigantus.
"Rangers your powers are fading, if you do not fuse back together soon, you will kill both selves," said Billy through their helmet speakers.
