Chapter 10 – Truth and Consequences

Kira and Connor awoke shortly after sunrise and found Dulcea already awake. She apologized for not having any food to give them, but she did not really need any. After over six million years it was The Great Power that kept her alive so she did not often need food and when she did she found it much easier to find some in her animal form.

"Your animal form?" Connor asked.

"Yes. It is an ability granted to those who reach a higher level with their Animal Spirits. As High Priestess I am one such person, the Ancient Warriors were as well."

"And my family?"

"It is, of course, possible, but in this day and age unlikely. In the past being Ninjetti was a way of life. Our Animal Spirits were not simply there for added power when needed, but were integral to our day-to-day lives."

"And us?" asked Connor. "We've already proven we're not normal."

"Indeed you have." Dulcea laughed. "And I cannot say for certain. As those of the prophecy your Animal Spirits are already stronger then any to have ever existed, it is very possible that you will find it far easier to attain an animal form then normal."

"Well, that's something to think about, but not just yet." Said Kira. "I think we should get used to having Animal Spirits first."

"Agreed."

The three talked for a while longer, Dulcea telling them all about the Ninjetti and filling in holes for them where Kira's parents had forgotten or had just not known. When the sun had risen fully, Connor stood, pulling Kira up with him.

"We should be getting back." He said. "I don't want to give Dr. or Mrs. O any more reason to kill me then they're already gonna have."

"It wasn't your fault Connor."

"They nearly lost their daughter, who else are they going to blame? Not that I blame them for blaming me. I blame me too."

"Yeah, we'll work on that." Dulcea smiled at the exchange before leading them over to the spot over looking the jungle, the Monolith standing tall in the distance.

"To be in harmony with your Animal Spirits is to have the full force of the Ninjetti." She said, nearly repeating the words she'd said to Kira's parents and aunt and uncles years ago, the difference in being swapping out Sacred Animals for Animal Spirits. While this paraphrased statement was not generally true, as an Animal Spirit alone did not mean having the full backing of The Great Power, it did for these two. "To those who are Ninjetti, anything is possible. The strength is inside you. Trust in your Animal Spirits and The Great Power will guide you." Knowing she was saying goodbye, the two smiled and nodded their thanks for all her help. "May your Animal Spirits watch over you." She said her final farewell, and like the time before, power shimmered around her and Dulcea disappeared, leaving behind a small white owl who hooted softly before taking off.

"I hope she'll be ok." Kira murmured.

"Why wouldn't she be?"

"She's stuck here all alone. It must be a lonely existence."

"Probably. But it's been six million years, if she hasn't cracked yet I doubt she will."

"You got a point there."

"I do use my brain occasionally." Kira let out a laugh and shook her head.

"Let's go home."

-C/K-

Tommy and Kim's house was still filled to capacity as no one was going home until Kira and Connor returned, not even Ashley and Andros, who given the circumstances, had gotten Ashley's parents to look after the twins for the night. Although they all knew that Kira was alive and wasn't dying anymore, breakfast was a subdued affair, for their worry hadn't really abated yet and wouldn't until the two returned. Alpha had promised to keep a look out for their energy signatures approaching Earth so when the robot teleported into the kitchen every head snapped expectantly in his direction.

"They are nearing Earth." He said to everyone's relief. "They should be here within a few seconds." Sure enough, by the time Alpha was finished speaking, red and yellow beams of teleportation appeared in the back yard. Everyone scrambled outside to greet them, pausing only when they noticed that it was Ninjetti Warriors the teleportation had dissipated to reveal. Although garbed in robes of an identical design to the others, the colour scheme was different. Where the Originals were covered entirely in their Ranger colour, these two had a mix. Both their undersuits and over tunics were in their Ranger colour, the golden crest in the middle glistening in the sunlight. Their boots, gauntlets, sash and headband, however, were in the other's Ranger colour, giving them both a mix of yellow and red; the significance of them wearing the other's colour not lost on anyone. The two removed their hoods and face masks and Kira smiled seeing most of her family standing there. When she smiled it opened the floodgates and Tommy and Kim led the charge towards her. Connor backed away as all of Kira's many aunts and uncles manoeuvred around Tommy and Kim, for they had yet to let go of their daughter, to give their niece their own hugs. Once they were finished, and Tommy and Kim's crying had yet again subsided they turned to Connor.

"Thank you. Thank you for saving her." Tommy said to his student. Connor smiled tightly. He wasn't sure why Tommy assumed he was the one who'd saved her, and he knew that when he learned the truth he would be lucky to escape the house alive.

"So what…what was it?" Kim asked, wiping away her last tears as all began the trek back into the house. "Why were you dying?"

"It was a misunderstanding with The Great Power." She answered, receiving weird looks from nearly everyone there. "We all know I'm gonna either save or destroy the universe and that it's entirely dependant on whether our bond succeeds. Well, it appears that there's a measure in place to try and ensure that I don't destroy anything. If The Great Power deems our bond to be failing it's going to try and kill me, cause I can't destroy anything if I'm dead. Basically, I can't live without Connor's love…as cheesy as that sounds."

"So this can happen again?" Tommy asked frantically.

"No. That's why we had to release our Animal Spirits so they could…talk to The Great Power, tell it it was mistaken. We also formed a link with each other and our Animals Spirits. We can now communicate telepathically, both with each other, and with our Spirits. They'll tell us if The Great Power ever thinks our bond's failing, and we'll tell them The Great Power's crazy; put a stop to it before I even start to feel weak." Every word Kira spoke was true, she did not lie to her parents, and she gave them all the important details, at least the important ones as far as she was concerned. Then, to stop them from asking why The Great Power thought their bond was failing, she initiated a time tested technique often employed by Tommy: changing the subject.

"I'm the Cheetah." She gushed, allowing excitement to show as she essentially de-aged herself to show the kid in her; there was never a better way to get her parents' minds off something unpleasant then to act her age. "That's my Animal Spirit, see?" she pointed to the crest on her Ninjetti robes. "It's so cool, cheetahs are awesome, they're the fasted mammal on the planet! And they're smart and strong, and my Cheetah Spirit is the smartest and strongest! And she's a cub still cause I'm not fully grown so we'll grow together. Her name's Nala, like from Disney's The Lion King, and she knows how to handle Connor's Lion Spirit, who's not named Simba, he doesn't have a name, we're not exactly sure why, but…" Kira's exuberance had the desired effect. Seeing her so happy, speaking a mile a minute like a kid telling their parents about their bestest day ever, had smiles on every face there, save for one. Connor wasn't sure how he felt about lying about how he was responsible for The Great Power thinking their bond was failing. As they walked he felt Kira's hand slip into his, giving it a reassuring squeeze, at the same time as her mental reassurance that it wasn't his fault. It really had been a misunderstanding, he had not done anything on purpose or knowingly, and so there was no reason to bring it up and make a big deal out of it. Although still not entirely convinced, Connor conceded to her wishes and let a smile slip onto his face as he joined in the conversation.

-C/K-

Things greatly calmed down over the next few weeks, though after Kira's near death, everything seemed calm in comparison. The White Ranger continued to be a pain in the ass but they were accepting of this fact and did the best they could to bring him back to the side of good. Only it wasn't that easy. The White Ranger wasn't exactly working with Mesogog, but both did all they could to stop the Rangers turning him good again, meaning that their battle continued just as hard as ever. After Connor's discovery of a power up called Super Dino Mode, the other Rangers had also found their power up, always in a moment of desperation when it was most needed. Kira was the last one to get her Super Dino Mode, and it happened in a manner no one saw coming, though most should have expected. The Rangers were gathered at Hayley's Cyberspace after school, Connor taking great pride in being able to help Kira with her homework, and Ethan taking great delight in mocking him about the fact that fifth grade homework seemed more at his level. Neither Tommy nor Kim were present, Randall having made Tommy supervise detention again, which for once Connor and Ethan weren't a part of, and Kim helping some of the gymnasts she coached get in some extra practice before their competition. Although she'd given up on herself becoming a professional gymnast to focus on her family instead, Kim's love of gymnastics had not diminished and she really enjoyed teaching it. Reefside boasted one gym, granted it was a large one as it contained all possible facilities and serviced everyone in the city and surrounding area, and Kim got a job running their gymnastics department. Officially Hayley was babysitting while Kim and Tommy were out. No one wanted to bring even more attention to the fact that Connor always 'babysat,' but it was apparently a futile attempt as he still practically ignored everyone else.

"Ok, the answer is…3/8…?" Kira half guessed. Her class had started fractions with uncommon denominators and Kira had decided pretty quickly that this kind of math was stupid and a waste of time.

"Is that a guess?" Connor asked.

"N-no."

"That was totally a guess! But you're right."

"Yes!" Kira cried, throwing her pencil down on the table, having finally finished the worksheet. "No more fractions!"

"Until your next math class." Connor imputed earning himself a glare. "I'm just saying, finishing one worksheet doesn't mean you're done with fractions."

"You really want to get smacked don't you?" Kira growled.

"Apparently." Ethan muttered not turning away from his computer game. Connor merely rolled his eyes and grabbed their glasses from the table.

"I'll go get us more smoothies." He said. Turning around, he ran right into Trent who had been carrying a tray of drinks.

"Oh, I'm sorry man!" Connor cried, reaching down to help Trent up.

"It's ok. I'm alright, no harm." Said Trent, accepting Connor's help.

"Too bad the same can't be said for the drinks…" The tray Trent had been holding had fallen with him, the plastic cups came out fine, but the drinks within were now all over the floor.

"Yeah, or my shirt." Trent muttered with disgust at the mix of smoothies covering him.

"Sorry about that." Connor said again.

"It's ok." Said Trent waving Connor off as he began to remove his smoothie soaked outer shirt. As he did, his long sleeves pulled back to reveal a familiar bracelet. Kira was the first to see it, having been watching the altercation from the side, and her gasp immediately alerted Connor who saw through her eyes the White Dino Gem mounted on a bracelet on Trent's wrist. Connor's own eyes shot down to see it for himself before they shot back up to Trent who was eyeing the Red Ranger. Within seconds, Trent knew his cover was blown and he attacked Connor, knocking him backwards. Ethan jumped up and came to his friend's aid while Kira went to Hayley and the two herded people outside, with various excuses of teenage angst and a promise that they could come back in soon to get their stuff. Hayley joined her patrons outside, preparing to answer questions while Kira joined the other Rangers.

"You?" Connor gasped as he got to his feet. "You're the White Ranger?"

"Don't sound so surprised." Trent sneered. "You're not the only ones with power."

"Trent." Kira started stepping forward only to be stopped by Connor who wouldn't let her out of arms reach. Mentally Kira assured him she wasn't going to get too close, merely wanting to get a good look at his face and eyes as she offered their help so that she could relay his reaction to her parents who would then have a good idea of how strong the evil's hold on Trent was. "Trent we can help you. Fight the evil Trent, and let us help you." Trent's eyes flashed, the one and only sign Kira knew signified evil, but other then that he gave no outward sign that her words had had any impact on him.

"You will be destroyed, Power Rangers." He said. "Make no mistake, you are my enemies, and I will destroy you, one by one." He trailed off as his eyes rested on Kira for a moment too long, causing Connor to growl.

"He plans to start with me." Kira said through their bond. "He thinks I'm the weak link and will be easily destroyed. Then, given one of the other Rangers is my father, and your obvious attachment to me, he thinks the rest of you will fall quickly."

"He's wrong" Connor said back, and Kira nodded.

"You have been warned." Trent said as farewell before he disappeared into an Invisi-portal. The three stood there for a moment before snapping out of it and realizing they needed to come up with a game plan.

"We should contact Dr. O." Ethan said, to which Connor and Kira readily agreed.

"Dr. O come in."

"Go ahead Ethan." Came Tommy's voice a few seconds later.

"We need to meet. We know who the White Ranger is."

"Who is it?" Tommy's voice gained an edge to it. "What happened?"

"It's Trent." Said Ethan. "He's the White Ranger."

-C/K-

That evening everyone gathered in the Dino Lab, Tommy cursing himself for not having figured out it was Trent before now.

"It's always someone we know." He grumbled. "Someone who's friendly but you can never say you actually know…"

"What's he grumbling about?" Connor asked.

"Not having recognized that Trent was the White Ranger." Kira answered, catching Connor, who'd been focusing on the food in front of him, up.

"But why would he…oh." He said when he actually listened to what his teacher was saying.

"Ok, enough beating yourself up Tommy." Said Kim. "Now we gotta figure out what we're gonna do about it."

"There's gotta be a trigger of some kind." Tommy said. "Like with Rita's Sword of Darkness. The Gems aren't naturally evil. I don't know if they can be turned evil, they weren't created by pure positive energy so its possible, but Mesogog would have had to make the White Dino Gem evil somehow, or if not the Gem then Trent, which means there's a way to turn him back. We just gotta find it." Which was easier said then done, especially as Trent did not even make an appearance for a few days. When he did, he followed the strategy Kira had said he would and targeted her. This did not sit well with any of the Rangers, Tommy and Connor especially, but Kira proved she wasn't a weak link like Trent thought, and earned her Super Dino Mode in the process. With all four Rangers powered up, the tide turned. Trent found himself surrounded as the Rangers took in every inch of him, sending the data to Hayley who was looking for what had turned him evil.

"Got it!" She cried after a few minutes. "There's evil surrounding his Dino Gem. Looks like they can be turned evil."

"So how do we bring him back?" asked Ethan.

"You need to separate the Gem from him. Whatever spell or power Mesogog used, it can't survive without a life force to feed off of."

"That's it? We just take the Gem away, and the evil leaves Trent and the Gem all on its own?"

"That's the idea."

"We're gonna have to get him to de-morph, then get the bracelet off him." Said Tommy.

"And how are we gonna do that?" Snarled Connor as he dodged yet another blow. "I don't see him saying yes just cause we asked nicely."

"We could wait till the battle's over then follow him." Kira suggested.

"We've spent days trying to locate him with no success." Tommy said, shooting down that idea. "I hate to have to say it, but we're gonna have to force it. We gotta damage his Ranger powers enough to that he can't sustain them."

"And we do that by…?" Ethan asked.

"Hitting him hard, unfortunately."

"Right, then let's do it." Said Connor who was tired of being on the defense. All of them having Super Dino Mode or not, the White Ranger was still powerful. "Z-Rex Blaster!" Tommy didn't add in his Brachio Staff, deciding instead to keep Trent busy as they powered up the blaster. When they were ready, Tommy hit Trent with a Wind Strike mere seconds before they fired the Z-Rex Blaster. Both attacks hit him dead on, the second causing the necessary damage to force Trent to de-morph. He also fell unconscious, which made it easy to remove the bracelet from around his wrist. Tommy could feel the evil that radiated off the Gem, and also as it tried to latch on to him, having now been removed from it's host. Dropping the bracelet, Tommy took a step back. After a few minutes, a cry was heard from the Gem and a black mist rose from it, the visible signs of evil leaving it.

"Well that's that." Said Tommy as he picked up the Gem once more, this time feeling nothing off with it.

"Now what?" Connor asked. "What do we do with him?"

"Now we-" Tommy was cut off as sirens were heard and two cop cars led an ambulance and a fire truck towards them.

"Damn." Tommy muttered. He hadn't realized it had been that long since the battle had ended, but it had been long enough for emergency workers to arrive, as they always did after a battle, to ensure no one was hurt and to put out any fires caused by the frequent explosions that followed the Rangers around. Usually, the Rangers were long gone by the time they arrived, their absence signifying that the battle was truly over, so it was with hesitation that the cops approached, hands on their guns, incase things weren't as over as they had thought.

"Don't bother." Said Tommy, taking point as he was the only one to have dealt with cops while in the suit. "Guns won't have any effect on us, or the monsters we fight."

"The battle's over?" One of the two in the front asked, these two clearly being the leaders of the four.

"Yes."

"Someone's hurt!" The second cried, pointing to Trent who was lying on the ground behind the Rangers who protected his identity.

"He's fine." Tommy said stepping forward as the others moved in tighter to cover Trent.

"He's unconscious." The cop insisted.

"He's the White Ranger." Tommy confessed. "And I assure you he is not injured. It was just a power influx." Which was technically true.

"The White Ranger? The one that's been attacking the city?" asked the first cop. Tommy sighed; this was the main reason the Rangers never stuck around. Cops asked too many questions, 99% of which they couldn't answer, and in cases like this they wanted to make arrests.

"Yes, that one." Tommy said with an eye roll no one could see but the other Rangers knew was there. "But he's no longer a threat."

"But he-"

"I said he's no longer a threat. He was evil, but we've reversed the spell over him, and I promise the next time the White Ranger shows up he'll be helping to protect the city." Leaving it at that, Tommy turned around, sent their Raptor Cycles and his ATV back to the Dino Lab, before he and the others teleported out. With a command centre that was so easily accessible, at least easily accessible compared to the one Tommy and Kim had had that was miles out of town and on the top of a cliff, they often didn't teleport, but in a case like this it was better to just get Trent out of there. They arrived in the Dino Lab and Tommy placed Trent on one of the pull-out med beds they had which Kim had prepared.

"He'll be fine." Tommy said to his wife as she ensured Kira was safe.

"Good." She answered, kissing her daughter once more before turning away and heading back upstairs, mumbling something about having food ready for when Trent woke up. Tommy looked after her with worried eyes, Kim hadn't been herself since shortly after Kira and Connor had returned from Phaedos and he wasn't sure why. He hadn't received any specifics through their bond, and he knew he must be feeling only a fraction of the frustration that she'd felt when he had hid things from her. A part of him thought she was trying to teach him a lesson as she let enough through the bond for him to know something was wrong when he knew she could hide it all if she wanted. That thought though went out the window quickly for when Kim was trying to teach him a lesson she wasn't subtle about it. She'd never quietly do something like this over the course of a few weeks, but rather over the course of a day, and she'd make it incredibly obvious. So, with a nod to his daughter, friend and students, and a promise to be back to check on Trent soon, he left to follow Kim, determined to discover what has been bothering her. He found her in the kitchen preparing lunch and took the knife out of her hands, placing it on the counter, before leading her outside towards the stream; Kira wasn't the only one who enjoyed that spot.

"Alright, what's wrong?" He asked plainly once they were far out of earshot and eyesight of the house. "And don't say nothing, I know something's wrong. I just don't know what." Kim opened her mouth to speak but Tommy interrupted her wanting to ensure she had no easy escape from telling him the truth. "And don't try to play it off as teaching me a lesson for not telling you things, cause we both know you're not that subtle."

"I'm pregnant." Speaking of not subtle, Tommy froze at her words. He'd heard her, they both knew that, but like the first time she'd said those words to him they had so not been what he was expecting. They'd never discussed having a second child, both firmly believing that with Kira being who she was, and the constant danger they and their daughter always seemed to be in, that bringing another child into it wasn't a good idea. However, unlike the dread and terror his sixteen-year-old self had felt when he'd heard those two words, a newly turned twenty-seven-year-old Tommy found the prospect of another child to be just as terrifying, but by no means did it fill him with dread, in fact just the opposite. As his brain processed it all, a smile broke out on his face and it wasn't long before he had Kim in his arms and was spinning her around, laughing with joy. When he put her back on her feet, Tommy knelt before her and placed a hand on her stomach, looking up at her with joy-filled eyes.

"You're pregnant?" He asked unnecessarily, for when she'd told him there was no reason to hide anything from him any longer and so the bond had opened up and he could clearly see Dana's confirmation during one of the times Kim was supposed to have been coaching her students. But along with this confirmation also came her reasons for not telling him immediately, which was basically exactly the reason they'd never discussed having more kids.

"I'm scared." She admitted, knowing he could see it.

"Hey," He said standing back up and looking her in the eyes. "We did alright with Kira, and being Rangers was new to us at the time. We can do it again."

"I know we can do it, I'm not questioning our ability to be parents for a second time. It's just that the first time we were at war, like we are now, our child was practically born with a target painted on her head, which this child will be as well, not to mention our first child still has a target on her head, and then, to top it all off, we became a part of an ancient prophecy that saw our child's future taken from her and the fate of the entire universe placed on her shoulders. What if that happens again? What if-"

"Hey, hey, calm down. Remember what I said last time? There's too many 'what ifs' in life, and if we, especially we, start in on them it will consume us, cause we'd just have no time for anything else, there are just too many 'what ifs.' I also believe I said that if our enemies saw a target on our baby's head it would only serve to bring about their destruction even faster." He cupped her face and gently kissed her before continuing. "Both statements still hold true. We can't live our life in 'what ifs' and I swear to you that Tommy, not just Tom, will be out for blood if Mesogog tries anything. I may even give Tom his body back so he can help me instead of us fighting for control." Kim let out a humourless laugh, but even a joking assurance like that was helping to calm her nerves. "As to Kira being a part of a prophecy…we can't know if anything like that will happen again. But if it does I think we can rule out the Ninjetti cause Dulcea's made it very clear that the prophecy is it. There's not another one, and there's no mention of a second child of the Winged Lord and Lady. So let's be optimistic that this child is just ours, and we won't have to share it with a greater power."

"I'd like that. I'd like to have some hope that this will be ok." Kim mumbled. "Cause I want this child. I was both so happy and so terrified when I found out. And I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just…needed time to figure it out for myself. Though I guess in the end I needed your help for that."

"Well, only half of your mind would be able to figure it out without me, cause I'm the other half of you." This attempt at a joke fell short and merely earned an eye roll. But, she did lean up for a kiss, so he considered it a success anyways.

"So everything's ok? You're healthy? The baby's healthy? Dana gave you the all clear?" he asked when they pulled apart.

"Yeah, she did. She also gave us Lightspeed's insurance so we can see an actual OB/GYN, and not travel to Mariner Bay every time I need a check up." Long before Lightspeed had come into the picture, Tommy and Kim had proven that a Ranger pregnancy was like any other pregnancy, or at least close enough that if there were anomalies, they were small enough that a regular doctor couldn't see them. So, unlike with any injuries or other medical problems where The Power within them obviously played a part in their healing, Dana was not needed to keep their identities secret, which meant that for the first time since Kim was pregnant with Kira, they actually needed medical insurance, for there was no way they'd be able to cover all the doctors' and hospital bills otherwise; luckily, Lightspeed had them covered.

"We'll make an appointment. I want to see our baby." He said with a smile as they began the trek back to the house. "And we should tell Kira."

"No not yet. I don't want to tell anyone yet. Let's wait until I'm twelve weeks, most people do."

"We didn't wait last time."

"We didn't really have a choice last time. Trini was the one who realized I was pregnant, we were both still teenagers, and I was an active Ranger. None of which is true this time."

"Alright. If that's what you want, we'll wait. Christmas isn't too far away anyways. The whole family will be together then, we can tell them all at once. Actually, it'll save us a lot of time. But we should still tell Kira before then."

"We will. Just let's you and I get used to the idea of another child before we decide to get our first child used to the idea." She said as they entered the house, being greeted by raucous laughter.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up." Came Connor's voice from the living room. With curious expressions, Tommy and Kim entered the living room to see all four of the other Dino Rangers. Trent had apparently woken up and been dragged upstairs and sat in a chair where he remained a silent observer as Ethan and Kira rolled with laughter to The Lion King, which played on the TV.

"I don't remember The Lion King being this funny." Tommy commented to the room in general. The group looked up at him and Kira smirked from her end of the couch she shared with Connor while the man in question groaned.

"You remember how I told you my Cheetah Spirit was named Nala, but Connor's Lion wasn't named Simba, and actually didn't have a name at all?"

"It's now named Simba." Ethan supplied, unable to help himself.

"Because you're watching The Lion King." Tommy stated a little hesitantly, believing he understood what they were getting at.

"Yep. When we found out my Cheetah's name I made a comment about how I'd laugh if Connor's Lion was named Simba. At the time our Animal Spirits didn't get the reference, but they do now, since we're watching The Lion King, and Connor's Lion has chosen to be called Simba."

"And they find this incredibly hilarious." Connor deadpanned.

"It is!" Kira insisted. "It's so you, Connor. Taking on a name based solely on a Disney movie, and the enthusiasm he did it with, is so like you."

"There was no enthusiasm…"

" 'Oh, oh I get it now! That's my name, I choose Simba! Nala and Simba, I get it now! I'm Simba!' " Kira mocked the words the Lion had spoken, though not cruelly, sending both her and Ethan into fits of laughter once more. Tommy and Kim allowed themselves a small chuckle before they took Trent from the room, planning to explain things as they made dinner. If his confused expression was anything to go by, he had a lot of questions, and getting through it all would take some time. But, with him now on the side of good, spending a few hours explaining the craziness that was their, and now his, lives, seemed like a small price to pay.

A/N - Tommy and Kim having a second child is dedicated to mae-E who planted the idea in my head. I really hadn't planned on them having another child, not at all, but I got asked if they would and from that point on every version of this story had them having another kid, so congratulations mae-E your one simple question wore me down and I had to re-plan the rest of this story! lol. Not that I actually mind cause I like this version better. =)

Yes Connor's Lion is named Simba. It made me laugh. On another note, this story is progressing nicely, I've actually just today finished writing the Dino Thunder arch of the story, which will end in chapter 15! Just thought you guys might like to know. ;)

Review please!
