Chapter Six
Reefside City Limits, Ten Minutes Later
Tarona stood right at the city limits near the warehouse district, and was ready to attack the city; but she was soon stopped as she heard a familiar sound behind her.
"So, he sent you instead of Zeltrex…huh?" Tarona remarked.
"My master was disappointed that you didn't return with my associate."
"I'm sure, so you here to take me?" Tarona asked.
"Yes; I'm Elsa, but how about you meet your new Master before you start helping destroy the city?" Elsa told the girl before her.
Tarona shrugged. "Whatever lets me destroy things faster."
With that Elsa walked over to Tarona and the two disappeared within an invisaportal.
Dino Thunder Base; Same Time
It took time, but Hayley was able to get ahold of Cameron Watanabe.
"Hayley; this must have something to do with ninjas if your calling me." Cam said.
"The Dino Thunder Rangers have another evil ranger problem." Hayley responded.
"Please tell me that it's not my team." Cam remarked with a sigh.
"No, but you do know her….it's Tarona Oliver." Hayley answered.
"Oh great, so you think Luthor's back…again?" Cam responded.
"Either that or somehow Mesagog's found a way to use Luthor's dark ninja energy. Are Shane, Tori, or Dustin around?"
"You think it's the same energy that Luthor used on them; I'll see if I can find any of them, they're out with their students right now. If I find one, we'll be there soon." Cam stated.
"Alright, but be careful, Tarona's pretty powerful….and relentless; she broke one of Dr. O's ribs." Ethan said as he was behind Hayley.
"Isn't the black ranger there her brother?" Cam asked, shocked at the news.
"Yea; but Mesagog had a creature do something to her; she's not in her right mind." Conner said as he was beside Ethan.
"We'll be there as soon as we can. Cam out." With that, the call was ended and the rangers were really worried.
Haley didn't say anything as she got up and went over to the medical table that Tommy was laying on. "You taught her a lot, Tommy."
"Wasn't just me, she learned from all of us originals, and it looks like the Wind Ninja Academy boosted her training to the next level." Tommy remarked, but the rangers and Haley heard the pain in his voice.
"Let's get your ribs wrapped." Hayley stated, and with that Tommy pulled off his shirt.
The rangers gasped when they saw bruises already forming on their mentor's body. Haley started pulling out Ace bandages and ointment for the few small cuts he had.

Blue Bay Harbor
Within a secret area on the outskirts of the city, three people were being attacked. The fight was quick and the three being attacked used the powers of air, water and earth to defeat their enemies.
The three then stood before the defeated and they stood up, but did not try to attack.
"I see that you took my advice about your devotion to ninja training. We will meet again on our regular day; class dismissed." The one in the ninja suit with red lining said and it wasn't long before the ninja students were off.
"It's good to be back home, so what's next?" The only girl, who had blue on her suit, questioned.
"Well Tori; Dustin and I have to help out the advanced air and earth ninjas." The one with red on said.
"Oh yea, thanks for reminding me, Shane." Tori said, having forgotten about training the advanced water ninjas.
"Shane, Tori, Dustin; I'm glad I caught up with you." A voice said as the three turned.
"What's up, Cyber Cam?" Dustin (Yellow stripes on his suit) asked.
"Why do you always do that, Dustin; I haven't been able to fix him since Luthor put that virus in him." The person said.
"You don't usually come out this far, what's going on Cam?" Tori asked.
"I just got a call from Hayley in Reefside. Tarona's been turned evil and the Dino Thunder rangers seem to think that Luthor's dark ninja energy is involved somehow." Cam answered.
"We can't all leave." Dustin said.
"I can reschedule my water ninja class, I'm sure Sensei wouldn't mind seeing as it's to help out our friends in Reefside." Tori said.
"Let's go talk to dad and clear it with him." Cam said; and soon enough he and Tori ninja streaked away for the main building to talk to Sensei about the situation.

Mesagog's Island
Tarona was escorted into the main room of the villain's base and Mesagog was sitting on his throne.
"So, this is Dr. Oliver's sister…it's a ….pleasure to meet you." Mesagog remarked.
"So you're Mesagog…why not try to rule the world instead of revert it back to the dinosaur era?" Tarona asked.
"Any fool…especially that idiot Luthor…can try to rule the world, but to revert it back to a simpler time….that takes genius." Mesagog answered as he got out of his seat and started to circle Tarona.
"Genius my foot; if you've been able to keep the white gem, then you'd be part of the way to your plan." Tarona said, and a smirk was hidden by her helmet.
Mesagog didn't try to rein in his temper. "Perhaps you are right...but there is more than...one path to my goal..."
"And that would be?"
"All...in due time..."
"Whatever; so, why ask for me to join you?" Tarona remarked.
"Your skills are different from your brother's. It seems you've had more training than he has."
"Master, we have movement." Zeltrex said, but then he saw Tarona standing there. "YOU."
Zeltrex was ready to fight and he went right after this power ranger that had 'invaded' the base. Before the second in command could reach her, a strange energy hit his head and he was in pain.
"Attack Dr. Oliver's sister again, and you will be in the same shape Luthor is." Mesagog said.
"Bearinator's attack didn't do anything, she's faking." Zeltrex strained to get out.
"It worked alright; by the time we got back to my brother's home I could feel the evil throughout my body." Tarona said as she demorphed.
Mesagog stopped attacking Zeltrex and turned his attention back to his newest lackey. "If I may be so bold….how is it that YOU are a ranger?"
"I had a ranger power back when my brother was one, so when I arrived here, he made me a new morpher." Tarona said, being vague on the details.
"Why don't you take some time to…tour the base; then when you are ready I will send you back to Reefside to take down the rangers." Mesagog stated, seeming to show some favoritism toward the newest evil ranger. "Oh….before you go; I should know your first name."
"Tarona." She said, and with that she headed out of the room.
Zeltrex was still angry and he left the room in a huff. Elsa had seen this as Mesagog turned his attention back to his collection of parts for monsters to plan his next move, so she went off to track down Zeltrex and found him.
"You really think you can just attack her like that; this is part of the Master's plan." Elsa said, somewhat hissing at her fellow general.
"I dealt with it enough when Mercer's son was the working on our side, but this is ridiculous. I'm going to make sure this time to take out the evil ranger." Zeltrex said.
Elsa was getting mad; but she knew that this would be fun to watch. "Fine, you want to try and destroy her, I won't stop you, but remember what Mesagog said." With that, Elsa headed out and left Zeltrex to stew on what he was going to do. "Either way, I get to enjoy myself."
Outskirts of Reefside; Ten Minutes Later
Thanks to Cam's teleportation system, he and Tori were right by Tommy's house and so they walked over to a covered hole and jumped in after Cam lifted up the wooden cover. They made their way to the Ops room and were met by six worried faces.
"Wish we were meeting under better circumstances….so what happened?" Cam asked.
"We were fighting one of Mesagog's latest annoyances, and this one really gave us a run for our money. Tarona blocked a lightning attack from it and she seemed to be alright, but when we got back to base….she attacked Dr. O." Conner told Cam and Tori.
"This energy didn't happen to be like a pale purple…..did it?" Tori asked; knowing what Cam had told her about the delimma.
"Actually, come to think of it….yea; it was pale purple." Trent said as he thought back to when Bearinator attacked.
"Hayley, any chance you have footage of the fight?" Cam asked, knowing that Hayley was the team's genius.
"Sure, and I'll get to that point in battle." Hayley said as she ran to the computer and started typing.
"Hey, how come you guys didn't mention Tarona?" Ethan asked, his curiosity getting the best of him.
"When she first came to the Wind Ninja Academy, she asked that we never mention she was there; we didn't know who she was, but her fighting style was unlike anything we had seen." Cam told the Blue Dino Thunder ranger.
It didn't take long to pull up the footage and that confirmed Cam's thoughts, she had definatly been turned evil using Luthor's dark ninja powers.
"Do you know her story?" Tommy asked, his voice still showing pain.
"We know bits of it; but she's a friend to us, so we're here to help. Shane and Dustin didn't want to leave their students, but I rescheduled my class." Tori remarked.
"I think we taught her too much; she said that you were the best fighter she'd ever seen." Cam remarked as he saw Tommy's bruises that were not covered by the wrap around his chest.
"Out of all the rangers she's been around…I'm sure none of them reached my level. She said she trained with every group she helped. I don't have that kind of training, even though I am a high level belt." Tommy said.
"I guess we taught a bit more than she needed." Tori remarked, sorry that some skills she had taught Tarona were used against her own brother.
"Don't beat yourself up, Tori; I'm glad she has so many skills, but Mesagog's going to pay for turning her against me."
"You seem to know a lot more about evil rangers than just your experience against me Shane and Dustin." Tori stated.
"I was evil at one point, but that's just the tip of the iceberg." Trent remarked.
Tommy took a deep breath and let it out. "I was the first evil ranger in history."
Tori and Cam were shocked, but they knew Tommy was going to give a bit more info.
"Rita Repulsa, a villain that had been locked away for ten thousand years, used the sixth power coin to make me her slave and I was even willing to destroy my friends. Tarona saw this when she was just 10. After I found out she was my sister; I never wanted to hurt her again."
"You're saying you hurt her while you were the evil ranger?" Cam asked.
"Yes." Tommy's voice conveyed regret and sadness at the fact.
"That's why you didn't fight back with EVERYTHING you had." Ethan stated, thinking about what his mentor/fellow ranger had said.
"If we can't find a way to save her….then I'll have no choice." Tommy stated with determination in his voice as well as sadness.
"We'll find a way." Conner remarked.
"Cam and I are here to help." Tori offered.
"Thanks guys." Tommy said, and with that he headed out to clear his head.
