A/N: Now this chapter is more or less of a sad one, and for future references, don't get overly attached to the characters. Trust me. With the things I have planned, these guys are gonna go through hell, starting now. Oh and I just made a new cover photo and will post it a bit after this chapter. The photo may spoil things a bit for you, but if you wanna look, go ahead. Get your tissues out for the end, and here is chapter 14...


Last Time On Power Rangers Dino Squad

Karyudosu pointed his crossbow at them with three arrows loaded into it. Before the rangers even had time to move, he shot at them. Suddenly, they were shot out of the air by a blast. The gold ranger ran in front of them. "If you want them, you will have to get through me. You will never harm my friends again."

He blasted Karyudosu in the face where he had been shot by Matt before and ran up, plunging his sword deep into the alien's side, also where Matt had blasted earlier that day.

Karyudosu gasped in pain and stared at James with wide eyes. "You defeated me." It gasped out. "How?"

"Protecting my friends is my main priority right now, and that is exactly what I am doing!" James answered, pulling his sword out of the alien's side and stepping to the side as it fell to the ground as exploded behind him.

As they all cheered for James and began to walk back towards AD, they didn't happen to see two rangers watching them, purple and cyan. Both were males, and purple was 5'10 and cyan was 5'9. They were hiding at opposite sides of the street before seeing each other. They both shot each other confused glances before stalking off in opposite directions.

~PRDS~

As the rangers walked back into AD they were all congratulating James on the win when Kyro came up to them. "I'm guessing you guys won." He smiled.

"Actually, James won. He beat Karyudosu all by himself." Matt announced.

"Really? That's fantastic." Kyro smiled. He turned to Robin. "Jesse woke up a few minutes ago and has been asking for you."

"Thanks Kyro." She smiled as she passed him, turned and walked down the hallway to Jesse's room.

"So, James, how do you feel about your first lone win?" Scott asked.

James smiled. "Actually, I feel good. Awesome, really."

NOW

Mason Finely was considered to be one of the best skateboarders around, so whenever he came to the skate park, there was always a bit of excitement coming from the onlookers as well as the other skateboarders. Not all the attention was always good, but Mason loved it anyway, believing them only to be jealous of his skills.

This day, however, he was not there to skate himself — he was there to teach his girlfriend Kristi how to skate.

"I don't know about this, Mason." Kristi said nervously.

Mason looked over at her. She had her bright orange hair tied in a low ponytail just under her helmet and had elbow and knee pads on, as opposed to Mason who wore none of those things ever. He chuckled and put a hand of her shoulder. "What are you wearing?"

"You don't like my outfit?" She asked, pouting a bit.

Mason smirked. "You look..." He sighed, thinking of ways to put it nicely. "Ridiculous." He knew it wasn't nice or what he was going for, but it was true.

She frowned. "What do you mean?"

"No one really wears elbow and knee pad, nor helmets. Look around," Mason pointed out.

Kristi did see what he meant. No one else looked like she did. "Well, I don't wanna get hurt."

"What make you think you're gonna get hurt with me watching after you?" He asked, exasperated.

"Exactly that reason."

Mason slapped a hand to his chest and gasped. "You think I would let you fall? Me? Your boyfriend?"

"Yeah, you. I don't trust you with this. I've seen you and your buddies. I'm leaving the stuff on." Kristi said, poking him in the chest.

"Well, this is different. You're my girlfriend, not my buddy."

"I know you're gonna let me fall."

"It's a part of life."

"Mason, I'm leaving the stuff on, and that's that." She snatched the skateboard out of his hand and put it down. She put one foot on it, but was hesitant to put the other on.

"You need some help?"

Kristi looked back at him, seeing him standing there casually with his arms folded. "No." She denied, though it was obvious she did need help.

She lifted her other foot up to put it on the board, but she fell back on the ground and the skateboard rolled away in the opposite direction. She hissed in pain, seeing her outer thigh beginning to bleed.

Mason came over and lifted her up off of the ground and carried her over to a bench. He inspected her cut. "I can disinfect this for you at my house. Do you still wanna skate?"

She sighed and shook her head. "Maybe on another day in a parking lot or something."

"Alright, hold on." He walked over to his board and picked it up, holding it with one hand as he walked back over to Kristi. "Get on." He told her as he turned around and squatted down, ready to give her a piggyback ride. She stood up and jumped on his back, and they walked away.

~PRDS~

Robin sat in the training room as she watched Scott and Jesse spar.

Jesse was now allowed to get back into the battle as long as he took it easy, and despite his protests, it was obvious that he was still in pain. Scott was going easy on him, though Jesse didn't seem happy about this. He grabbed Scott's arm and flipped him over his head before pinning him to the ground.

"You're not trying." He told Scott, looking him dead in the eye.

"What are you talking about?" He asked evasively as Jesse got up and helped him up.

"I know you're going easy on me." He told him, grabbing his water bottle from next to Robin and taking a quick sip.

"How do you know? Maybe I'm just off of my game." Scott suggested, shrugging.

Jesse rolled his eyes and snorted. "Please. You expect me to believe that?"

Scott sighed. "So what if I'm going easy on you? You're injured. I'm surprised you're even allowed to fight. You should be trying to take it easy."

"I'm not injured. Kyro said I was fine."

"No, Kyro said you were okay to fight, not that you were healed. Jesse, you need to stop pushing yourself." Scott told him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Look man, its nothing to be ashamed of. You got hurt, it's okay. We're not going to think you're weak."

Jesse frowned. "You might not think I am, but I'm weaker you guys are. I'm going to be the worst fighter out there."

"That's not true." Robin told him, taking his hand in hers. "We believe in you, Jesse. It's okay."

"Oh yeah? What if something happens to you or the others because I'm too weak?" Jesse asked, looking between the two of them.

"You'll be fine, just rest when you have time; then you'll feel up to fighting. And anyway, Kyro didn't say you had to fight." Robin pointed out.

"Yeah, man. If, at any time, you're not feeling up to it, just back out and we'll handle it. Don't forget that we're your friends, and we don't mind helping you out, especially in with your injuries."

"Guys, right now I'm fine. I just wanna spar." He said, taking in a deep breath.

"Are you sure? You look a bit flushed." Robin told him. "Maybe you should sit down."

"I'm fine. Scott, let's go." He said, putting his fists up in front of his face in a ready position.

~PRDS~

Kyro found that Matt surprisingly enjoyed re-watching battles. Even though he was the red ranger, it was quite strange to see a teenager into things like that.

Now, he was watching the red ranger as he watched the most recent battle. Suddenly, he got pale and paused the TV. "Kyro, who are they?" He asked, turning to the extraterrestrial, who had no idea that the teenager knew of his presence.

"Who?" Kyro asked as he walked further into the room. What he saw on the screen made him go pale as well. "Of course." He muttered under his breath.

"Them. Do you know them?" Matt asked, noticing Kyro's change in behavior.

"The purple and cyan rangers; I know of them." He answered vaguely.

"Cyan?"

"It's a color." Kyro answered. "Look, there are more rangers than just you guys, and more even after that. They just.. don't all show up together. As far as I'm concerned, though, it doesn't seem as if the two know each other."

"I can see that. The look they gave each other was slightly off." He looked up at his mentor. "Why would they show up now? Why not before? We probably would've been farther into this war if they had."

"Well, they try to decide on the best time to be of help. You guys didn't need much help towards the beginning. Now, it's getting a bit more complicated, especially with the generals getting more and more involved." Kyro explained. "It's not gonna be long before something goes wrong, and they want to try to prevent that, but they also want to give you a bit of your own space to grow and to learn. Does that make sense?"

"Yeah, but what do you mean 'before something goes wrong'? Is one of us gonna die?" Matt asked, peering up at Kyro.

Kyro sighed. He had hoped one of his rangers would never ask him that. It was difficult to answer. "Honestly," Kyro began, letting out a breath he didn't even realize he was holding in. "There's a possibility... And that possibility is more likely than you think. I'm sorry, Matt, to have to tell you this, but not everyone can survive, no matter how strong they are."

Matt opened his mouth to speak, however, he was interrupted by the others. "Hey guys. Don't mind us." Scott smiled as he, Robin, and a flushed looking Jesse walked into the room.

"Jesse, are you alright?" Matt asked, a slightly smirk gracing his lips.

"You know what? Leave me alone." He joked. He smiled and leaned back into the couch. "Yeah, I'm fine. We just decided to take a break. Where's Spencer and James?"

"Right here." Spencer answered as he and James walked into the room. Spencer joined the four on the couch as James looked to the TV screen strangely.

"Who is that?" James asked, pointing to the two rangers on the screen. He joined the others on the couch and all six of them looked to Kyro for answers.

"Look, guys, I don't know them, I only know of them. They're the purple and cyan rangers, that's pretty much all I know." Kyro said, failing to notice Liela standing outside of the room, listening to them. "Why don't you guys go down to the beach and relax for a bit. We can deal with this later."

"Are you sure, Kyro?" Matt asked, looking skeptical.

"Yes, go. I will look in to this." Kyro answered.

The rangers all smiled, and without question, ran out of the room, the guys yelling about who would get there first.

Liela walked into the room and shook her head. "You shouldn't have done that. They're gonna find out that you know who they are, whether it be from the two themselves, or on accident, and they won't be too happy that you lied to them."

"Who's it hurting?" Kyro asked, turning around.

"You know the prophecy, and you know what's gonna happen to some of them." Liela said. "It'll hurt them to find out that you knew something would happen to some of them, maybe even all of them."

"No! The prophecy even states that they will prevail." Kyro argued.

"The prophecy isn't always right. It can change at anytime, you just need to wait and see." She sighed. "I can already tell something is gonna happen. Haven't you seen the latest change in it?"

"No, why?" Kyro asked, frowning deeply at her change in demeanor.

"You might want to take a look and say goodbye to one of them." Liela said.

"Which one?" Kyro asked, looking at the door that they had left AD from.

"It's not one of them. It's someone closer to you than that." Liela answered.

~PRDS~

While the others played around in the water, James and Matt sat on the beach, looking out at them, but remaining in a deep thought. Matt suddenly looked over at James. "Did you notice the way Kyro acted when you brought up the other two rangers?"

James broke his gaze from the ocean over to Matt and nodded. "Yes, it was very unusual. Why do you think he was acting that way?"

"I don't know, but Kyro usually doesn't act so evasive about things like this, though. I mean, I think he know who they are, he just doesn't want to tell us. One can only wonder why." Matt said.

"Well, maybe there is something he does not want us to know. Maybe if we found out, we would get hurt. That could possibly be a reason behind it. The other option is that he simply does not know, and is not hiding anything from us."

"I guess, but it's just so odd." Matt responded.

Meanwhile, the others were having a fun time. The guys were all having turns throwing Robin around in the water, much to her dismay. So, when they did it again, she didn't come up right away.

The three were laughing until they realized that she had been down there for a while. "Robin?" Jesse asked, as the three began to look around fearfully.

Suddenly, the three of them were pulled under water and Robin came up laughing. The three came back up and looked angry. She smiled sheepishly at them. "Sorry?" She offered.

The three of them suddenly smiled and grabbed her, throwing her even deeper into the ice cold water. She came back up laughing. "You guys are evil!" She laughed.

"And we're proud!" Jesse yelled with a laugh.

Suddenly, the four rangers in the water screamed in terror as a blast struck the water and nearly threw them off of their feet. James and Matt stood up from the beach immediately stood up and got into defensive stances as they saw Aigaron stalking towards them with Zorima all around. The four rangers in the water ran out and stood with Matt and James in front of the villains.

Aigaron laughed. "You pathetic rangers think you could beat me? A general of Deboss? Never! You rangers are about to meet your doom!"

Matt shook his head. "No, you're about to meet your doom! Ready?"

"Ready!"

"Dino Squad, Power Up!"

"Power of the Tyrannosaurus!"

"Power of the Parasaurolophus!"

"Power of the Stegosaurus!"

"Power of the Velociraptor!"

"Power of the Triceratops!"

"Power of the Pterodactyl!"

The six charged forward and began to fight off the Zorima. Jesse and Robin both brought out their swords and stood back to back in the middle of a circle of Zorima, fighting them off quickly together. Jesse grabbed one of them and threw it up in the air before striking it as it came down. Robin smirked at him.

"That the best you've got?" She joked, grabbing a Zorima and slicing it in half perfectly before taking the two halves and hitting the other Zorima on the sides of her with them.

Spencer, on the other hand, was blasting most of the Zorima away easily. He picked one up and slammed it into the others before throwing the body up into the air towards the middle of the army of Zorima.

One caught him off guard and grabbed his blaster, almost forcing it out of his hand before he took out his sword and plunged it straight into the monster's body. "Who's next?" He questioned, looking around. He quickly began beating on the others as well.

Scott was slamming through Zorima with his fists, not feeling the need to use his weapons for this. He punched a Zorima in it's 'face,' shattering it into many little pieces. He picked up the biggest shard and shoved it into another Zorima as it rushed at him. He kicked the next Zorima in the head and turned in time to catch another off guard as he slammed his fist into it.

Meanwhile, Matt and James made a beeline through the crowd of Zorima and attacked Aigaron. Matt swung his sword, but was quickly intercepted and thrown the side like it was nothing. James gasped at the sheer strength of this particular alien, but attacked anyway. He blasted Aigaron from a slight distance, and succeeded in hitting the villain, however, his victory was short lived as Aigaron got back up, axe in hand, and slashed James across the chest, making sparks fly from his suit as he fell to the ground.

Matt stood back up and grabbed Aigaron from the back and tried to pry the axe out of his hand, but Aigaron ripped himself from the red ranger's grasp and struck him with his axe.

Scott broke away from his fight with the Zorima and jumped up, flipping through the air, before coming down and bringing his sword down on Aigaron's head. Aigaron cried out in pain and lifted the black ranger up by his neck. "You rangers think you can even try to beat me? You'll never even be close to winning! Deboss will prevail and all you rangers will be dead!" He brought his axe up with his other hand, ready to strike, when a purple blast hit Aigaron's hand, making him drop Scott onto the ground.

Scott gasped and rubbed his neck as he saw the purple ranger and cyan ranger arrive in different directions and begin to attack. The cyan ranger took out all the Zorima quickly with Jesse and Robin, while the purple ranger carefully pulled Scott to his feet.

"You alright?" He asked, his voice overly familiar to the black ranger.

"Que..." He was cut off when the purple ranger began talking again.

"Are you alright?" He asked with more force than necessary.

Scott nodded, bringing his hand away from his neck. "Yeah, thanks. Who are you?" He asked, though he was pretty sure of the answer already.

"Scott, I..." He was cut off harshly as Aigaron struck him from the behind with a tough blow to the back that, while it didn't cause him to fall over, it caused him to demorph. However, he turned around quickly, not allowing the black ranger to see his face. That is, until, he was struck with the Axe again, this time puncturing through his skin deeply, so far that you could see his bones being snapped clean through with the axe.

Scott was shocked, and put a hand up to where his mouth was under his helmet. Aigaron pulled the axe out of the man's body and began to fight the others, while Scott was horrified to see that his suspicions of who the purple rangers was was found to be true. "No!" He cried, catching the man as he fell. "Dr. Parker! Can you hear me?" He asked, demorphing and patting his dying father figure on the cheek, trying to arouse him in some way.

"Scott," He coughed, opening his eyes halfway. "It's okay. It was always meant to happen."

"No, it wasn't! You were supposed to live! To be my mentor, my teacher, and my father figure! This shouldn't be happening!" He cried in despair.

"Just remember everything I've taught you. You can make it without me." Dr. Parker coughed again, and his eyelids began to droop.

"No! Please!" Scott cried, but it was too late. Dr. Parker's eyes closed and his breathing slowed to a stop.

The other rangers, despite being injured and exhausted before they got Aigaron to retreat, walked over to Scott and stood behind him quietly as cried and mourned his loss. The cyan ranger stood off to the side a bit, and said nothing.
