[Chapter 5: Back in Black!]

Dino Lab!

The all 4 Rangers and Kim stood around Hayley who was still working.

"Alright, I've got a lock on a portal," Hayley told them.

"We're on it," Conner stated as the 4 of them started to walk away.

"Remember you have to reach the speed of 536 MPH upon entry!" Hayley yelled after them, "otherwise you'll never make it pass the security walls and be ripped to pieces!" They all stopped, turned around, and looked at the red-head with shock. "Did I ever forget to mention that?" Hayley looked over at them to see that they all where looking at with a what-the-hell-Hayley kinda of look. "I take that as a yes." They just looked at her with the same look. "Never fear. I have something just such an occasion."

Hayley typed a few things in before hitting enter and a wall opened up to reveal 4 color coded cycles waiting for them.

"Sweet."

"Amazing."

"This is so cool."

"Which one's mine?" Conner asked as he and the others walked up making them all to look at him. "I'm kidding."

"You so weren't kidding," Ethan and Jessica told him.

"These are your new raptor cycles," Hayley told them as she moved to stand in front of them. "They should have you to the portal coordinates in 92.75 seconds."

"And when we get there?" Kira asked.

"Use your Gems to access the hyper drive," Hayley answered, "then head straight through the portal to Mesogog's inland fortress."

"Wait, a minute?" Conner asked, "did you just say island fortress?"

"Yes," Hayley answered, "why?"

"Uh, well, islands are...their surround by water," Conner answered.

"Usually," Hayley agreed.

Jessica and Ethan shared a look.

"Nah!" the two of them gasped, "you can't swim?"

"I didn't say that," Conner answered.

"But it's true," Ethan told him, "you can't."

Jessica laughed before shutting up from the look Kim was giving her knowing that one does not mass with a Pink Ranger even if that some one was a former Pink Ranger.

"The invisiportal well take you directly into the island," Hayley told him, "you never have to get wet."

Hayley walked off while Ethan laughed.

"You can't swim," Ethan laughed.

"What ever dude," Conner told him, "you guys ready?" The 4 new Rangers all stood in front of their raptor riders. "Ready?"

"Ready." "Dino Thunder! Power Up! Ha!"

With in seconds the new Rangers where standing front of Kim in their rangers uniform. They all hopped onto their cycles and ready to take off.

"Let's do it," Conner told them.

"Yeah!"

"Hit it."

All 4 of them all took off through a portal to save Tommy.

Sandy roadway!

"Whoa," Ethan said all 4 of them pulled to a stop. "It just stopped."

"What's up with that?" Conner asked.

"This must be where Hayley programed the coordinates," Kira answered as she looked around. "Look!" She pointed to a green vortex. "There's the invisiportal. Sure hope that Dr O's on the other side."

Conner ran up to her along with the others.

"Only one way to find out," he told them, "you guys ready?"

"You know it."

"Ready."

"Let's get to it."

They all ran back to the bikes and mount them just as Elsa, Zeltrax, Tyrannodrones, and a new monster appeared from an invisiportal.

"Hey!" Conner called, "no one invited you to the party!"

"So crawl back to the hole you came out from," Jessica added making Elsa to look at her.

Elsa looked at them all.

"I'm crashing and I brought a few friends," Elsa told Conner, "is that rude?"

"Extremely," the two girls answered.

"Your getting through that portal unless you are in chains," Zeltrax told them.

"Jessica and I might be able to pull that look, but theses guys no way," Kira said.

"I vote we go for it," Conner told them.

"Yeah!" they agreed.

All 4 of them revived their engines and then took off.

"Attack!" Elsa commanded.

"Firing Lasers!"

Conner and Jessica both shot energy blast at the Tyrannodrones knocking some of them to the ground. While the others where dealing with the Tyrannodrones Jessica was facing off against Elsa as Conner took on Zeltrax.

"Your going down Green Ranger," Elsa hissed.

"If there is one thing I got from my Sister then it's her stubbornness to give up," Jessica growled at Elsa, "Para Bow!" Jessica summoned forth her main weapon before pulling back on the strings. "FIRE!"

The energy arrows all hit Elsa knocking her into the ground while the others where taking care of their fight and was taking them down with very little trouble. It wasn't long till they all regrouped.

"Guys!" Ethan cried, "hurry! The portal's still open!"

"We can can do it," Conner told them as he looked at his team, "open net! Follow me!"

"Let's go!"

They all took off at a quick speed just as Elsa tried to stop them, but they just jumped not at all phased.

"Yeah, punch it."

"Maximum speed!"

"Almost there!"

"Just a little further!"

"Right," Conner agreed just before they went through the portal.

Mesogog's Lab!

They all appeared in the hall of some kinda of lab before they got off their bikes. "Hayley, we're in," Conner told her.

"Ok, good," Hayley said, "I'll recalibrate the bikes for your exit. You have about 5 minutes."

"And may the power protect you," Kim added in.

All 4 of them demorphed before taking off down the hall looking for the main part of the lab.

"The lab should be just around here I think," Kira told them as the rounded a corner. "At least we still have the element of..."

"Welcome," a Dinosaur like freak greeted making all 4 of them to stop. "We've been expecting you."

"Surprise," Kira finished as they all backed up.

"You remember me I trust?" Mesogog asked.

"Like I could forget that face," Kira answered.

"Uh, what part's his face?" Ethan and Jessica asked just as the door closed.

"Obviously you are in need of some discipline," Mesogog told them just before he shot some kind of ray at them.

Just then Zeltrax, Elsa, and a monster appeared and took the ray.

"This way!" Kira told them as they ran by, "Hurry!"

"Right behind," they all agreed.

They all took off leaving Mesogog and his goons alone in the hall. It wasn't long till they came to main part of the lab and it was Jessica who noticed Tommy first.

"Dr O!" she cried as she rushed to his side.

"Hey," he greeted as the others ran over to them. "Good timing." They quickly got him out of the straps that had him tied to a chair. "Hit the red button."

"Okay," Ethan agreed before he ran over and did just as he was told to do.

It closed just as Zeltrax and the other goons got to the door while Tommy ran over.

"Should have known you'll try to rescue me," Tommy told them.

"Is that your way of saying thank you?" Ethan asked, "cause if it is then it needs some serious work."

"I'll thank you for real when we get out of here," Tommy answered, "we can use the main invisiportal network."

They all looked over to see an invisiportal appear.

"Wow."

"Hayley gave you the raptor cycles right?" Tommy asked, "right?"

They all nodded their heads in agreement.

"This way," he told them before he moved.

"Wait?" Ethan asked, "we need to talk."

"Go, I'll explain later," Tommy ordered them.

"We already know everything," Conner told him.

"We found the video dairy," Kira added.

"We know your a Power Ranger," Ethan finished.

"Was Ethan," Tommy told him, "not anymore."

Just then the door opened and Zeltrax along with Tyrannodrones and the monster came in. They all got ready to fight if they need to. Mesogog and Elsa walked in just then.

"Ranger or not," Mesogog started to say, "your mine now."

"Oh I hate it when he gets like this," both Tommy and Sam said at the same time.

"We can take it from here Dr O," Conner told him before all 4 Rangers got in front of Tommy ready to morph. "Ready?"

"Ready!"

"Dino Thunder! Power Up! Ha!"

All four Rangers morphed into their Rangers forms holding their Thunder Max Sabres.

"Attack!" Mesogog ordered.

They all charged in and took on a group of Tyrannodrones of their own. Jessica gasped when she saw Mesogog kick Tommy to the ground.

"DR O!" she cried as she ran over.

"I'm fine Jessica," he reassured her.

Mesogog went over and pulled Tommy to his feet before he once again throw the former Ranger before Jessica jumped in pulling out her Para Bow as she did so.

"Fire!"

Mesogog dodge the arrows and knocked Jessica over to where Tommy was while the others just finished with their fights.

"Dr O!" Conner called, "Jessica!"

"Head for the portal!" Tommy ordered, "I've got to get something!"

"But..."

"Hurry!" Tommy ordered.

Mesogog turned around to face them.

"We better do as he said," Conner told his team.

"Right," the two girls agreed.

The 4 Dino rangers jumped through the portal just before Tommy pushed Mesogog out of the way. Tommy grabbed the crystal while he took on some Tyrannodrone. He was able to get to the portal and jumped through it. He appeared right behind the Dino Rangers

"Hey."

"You made it."

"Do we really need a souvenir?" Conner asked.

"This one we do," Tommy answered just Elsa and reinforcements appeared. "Go. I'll be right behind ya."

"Hit!" Conner told them.

They all speed through the portal.

Reefside!

They all appeared in Reefside before pulling to a stop and looked over to see if Tommy appeared yet.

"Where is he?" Conner asked.

Just then Tommy appeared on one knee facing them, but Elsa, Zeltrax, and other freaks appeared right after and Tommy turned around to face them. Zeltrax went to attack to which Tommy used the crystal to block as the 4 rangers got off of their bikes.

"Dr O!" Conner called.

There was a blast and then a blinding light to which they had to cover their eyes, but when it died down all the say was the crystal piece.

"Dr Oliver!" Ethan called.

"No!" Kira cried as she fall to her knees.

"This can't be happening!" Jessica cried out in shock.

"Such negativity," Elsa told them as she smirked, "haven't you learned that in our world anything's possible?"

"Even the destruction of the great Dr Tommy Oliver," Zeltrax added.

"I heard my name," a voice said as there was a shimmer in the air and Tommy stepped out of it. "You missed me didn't you Zeltrax?"

"Yes."

"Alright!"

They all ran over to him.

"Awesome!"

"Right on."

"You made it!"

Tommy looked at them smiling a bit just as a glow came from his hand making them all to look at it.

"Hey, Dr O?" Conner asked as Tommy started to open his hand. "What's this?"

"A black Dino gem," Ethan said as they saw what he was holding, "let me guess the power of invisibility."

"Looks like," Tommy told him.

"That Gem belongs to my master," Elsa butted in.

"There's two things you guys gotta learn about Dino Gems," Tommy told them, "one, you can't choose them, they choose you."

"What's the other?" Elsa asked.

"They go real well with Dino Morphers," Tommy answered before he slammed the Gem into the morpher.

"Aren't you a little old for this Tommy?" Elsa asked.

"I maybe old, but I can still pull it off," Tommy answered as he pulled out a key. "Dino Thunder! Power Up!"

He then slammed the key into the morpher and turned before he was standing in front of the 4 rangers as the Black Dino Ranger.

"Dino Thunder-Black Ranger!" Tommy yelled as he striked his posed.

"Awesome."

"Yeah."

All 4 ran up to him and the 4 Dino Rangers were excited about having a new Ranger on the team.

"Just like riding a bike," Tommy stated.

"One more makes no difference," Zeltrax told them, "attack!"

The goons all charged in as the 5 Rangers got ready to fight them before they, too, charged in. Jessica pulled out her Thunder Max Sabre as she clashed swords with Elsa while the others where taking on the monster or in Tommy's case Zeltrax.

"We are not intimidated by your teacher," Elsa told her.

Jessica was able to push Elsa's sword towards the ground before looking at her.

"Then you never took one of his pop quizzes," Jessica stated.

Elsa kicked Jessica away from her. The two of them went at it a bit longer before Jessica landed a kick on Elsa knocking the evil hench-woman away from her.

"We well meet again Green Ranger," Elsa growled before she vanished.

"Fine," Jessica growled before looking over at the others, "wow." The Green Ranger then ran over to the others. "Hey guys."

"Your ok?" Kira asked.

"Better then he is," she answered.

"Let's put them together," Ethan stated.

"Yeah," Conner agreed, "good call."

All 4 Dino Rangers did just that.

"Z-Rex blaster!"

"Don't be a pollinator hater."

"Ready?"

"Fire!"

Conner pulled the trigger which destroyed the monster.

"Hayley?" Tommy asked when he morpher beeped.

"Welcome back," Hayley answered, "I have a home warming present for you. I found it on the North side of the forest." They all looked to see a Zord coming towards them. "Meet the BrachioZord. Retrieving the Black Gem must have awake him."

"Oh, wow."

"Whoa."

"Yeah."

"What till you see what he has inside," Hayley told them, "I think you can handle it from here."

"And don't think your off the hook yet Thomas Oliver," Kim was heard saying over the morpher.

Jessica and the others laughed when Tommy groaned as the Zord carriers opened and 3 Zords appeared before 3 of the Dino Rangers jumped up into their Zords and created their two MegaZords while Tommy and Jessica watched from the ground. Jessica flinched as the MegaZord where getting trashed.

"We're getting rocked here," Conner's voice sounded over Tommy's Morpher.

"We need reinforcements," Ethan added next.

"Hayley?" Kira asked.

"You got anymore surprises?" Rita finished.

"Sure do," Hayley answered, "try the CephalaZord."

"Alright," Tommy agreed as the Brachio head on his Morpher vanished and was replaced with the head of the CephalaZord. He then put the key in and turned it. "Locking on."

Just then a Dinosaur came in wearing boxing gloves making 2 girls awe at it.

"Girls," Conner groaned.

They to of them watch as the MegaZord fight to see the CephalaZord punch the monster to the ground.

"The CephalaZord can link up to your MegaZord for even more power," Tommy told Conner, Kira, and Ethan.

Both Tommy and Jessica watched as they combined the CephalaZord with their MegaZord and was able to destroy the monster once and for all.

Hayley's cyberspace!

Jessica, Conner, Kira, Ethan, and Tommy as well as Kim were all setting in Hayley's Cyberspace talking.

"What a day," Ethan was saying, "new Zords, new bikes."

"New Ranger," Conner finished, "well, sorta new."

"Dr O aren't you going to tell us how you had that Morpher ready?" Kira asked. "Right after you guys became rangers," Tommy started to explain, "I've got an energy reading on the tracking system I had a good idea that it was another Gem so I had Hayley build a Morpher just in case."

"And the day of my gig?" Kira asked.

"I was coming to tell you guys that the energy had moved and we need to investigate," Tommy answered.

"When you were napped by the goon patrol," Conner said, "brutal."

"Yeah, but it all turned out ok," Tommy agreed before he stood up with Kim. "Well, we better get going."

"Going?" Hayley asked, "where you going?"

Tommy walked around the couch and leaned on the back of it for a bit to look at them with Kim at his side.

"Shopping," Tommy answered, "I checked my closet this morning and there's a serious shortage of black in there." They all laughed as Tommy and Kim left the building. "See ya."
