[Chapter 7: Golden Boy!]

Dino Lab!

Jessica had quickly rushed back to the Dino Lab just in time to watch the others form the MegaZord. The Green Ranger powered down and walked over to where Hayley was setting looking down.

"I hate having to set on the sidelines while the others fight in the MegaZord," Jessica groaned.

"We're still looking for the Para Dino Egg, Jessica," Hayley told the young blonde haired girl.

The Green Ranger let out a sigh as she turned back to the fight which the other three win before she went to meet back up with them at Hayley's Cyberspace.

Hayley's Cyberspace!

Jessica had decided to help out Trent around the Cafe so she was waited tables while Trent was running back and forth between the counter other tables. That day Jessica had decided to wear a blue jean jacket over a green tank top, blue mini skirt accessorizes with a skull/cross bone buckle belt, white knee length socks, green cave length flat boots, and a blue ribbon chocker that has a pair of rollerblades pendent hanging from it.

"Trent I have to go home soon," Ethan's voice sounded, "think you can spare a few minutes for out government project?"

"Sorry," Trent apologized, "I just got slammed all of a sudden."

"Okay," Ethan told him with smile and a clip on the shoulder.

"Waiter!" they all heard Cassidy called as she snapped her fingers together, "order up! Hello!"

Jessica let out a sigh as that continued though and it took everything in her well power to not hit the annoying blonde reporter. The Green Ranger looked over at Trent with a slight smile.

"I'll get Cassidy, her late," she told him, "you help Ethan the first part of your guys government project."

"Thanks Jess," Trent thanked giving the younger Hanson a smile, "your really a big help."

"No problem Trent," Jessica told him shyly with a smile of her own before walked around the counter, picked up the late, and walked over to Cassidy's table. "There you go, one decaf late."

"Thanks," Cassidy told her with a smile, "you know, doing this government in action project has left me totally parched."

"That's nice," Jessica said as she turned to walk, but was stop by Devin.

"Hey, look Jess," Devin as the Green Ranger turned back to him, "I don't really mean to be such a drag, but you know."

Devin made it look he was drinking something.

"Oh, man," Jessica said as it hit her, "your smoothie." Devin nodded. "Sorry Dev. I'll get on it right away."

"Thanks Jess," Devin thanked as the blonde haired girl went back to the counter.

Jessica turned around quickly to look at Cassidy when she heard a scream coming from her detraction. She watched as Cassidy went to push another key making her computer to once again scream before she smirked and then turned to Ethan with raised eyebrows. Hayley then blocked their view from Ethan when she stepped in front of him to make him stop which he did, but not before Cassidy's computer once again made the noise.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Trent asked making the three girls to look over.

Jessica let out a sigh when she saw Anton Mercer.

"I thought I'd give you a ride home," Anton answered, "you ready?"

"I don't think I can leave right now in the middle of work," Trent answered.

"Look, son, I don't mean this to sound...um...elitist, but don't you a managerial position would suit you better?" Anton asked, "I mean, c'mon, all this running around; slinging milkshakes...it doesn't really scream 'Mercer'."

"Dad, I like working here," Trent said, "and besides I'm in high school. This is what kids do."

"Right," Anton agreed, "well, it's not what I do. Anyway, lemme think about it and maybe we can...uh...come up with a compromise we can both live with."

"Dad, I'm fine," Trent told him.

"See ya at home," Anton told him with a smile.

"Ok, see ya," Trent agreed as Anton left before he turned around to head back to the counter to see Devin there making a smoothie. "Uh...Dev?"

"Oh hey," Devin told with a smile, "look I...uh...figured that I'll make my own. Is that ok?"

"Yeah," Trent agreed, "why not?"

Jessica watched as Devin added in somethings before hitting the button without putting the lid on making them duck for cover as the smoothie went all over the counter and behind it. The Green Ranger laughed before she noticed Kim and Tommy walking in together.

After Work!

Tommy, Trent, and Kim all walked out of the Cyberspace Cafe when the two of them got off of work.

"Thanks for the ride home Dr. Oliver," Trent thanked, "Dad would've freaked if I'd gotten home late again."

"No problem," Tommy told him, "hey speaking of your Dad. There's something I've been wondering...all of those years working with your Father and never had he mention that he had a son."

"He didn't," Trent said, "have one that is. Him and my real parents worked on a dig a few years ago. There was a cave in...parents never got out."

"Sorry to hear that," Tommy stated re-grating to have brought it up.

Trent jumped into the back of the Jeep while Kim got into the front set.

"He's been great though," Trent went on, "tooken me in, gave me a home and a life. Not a lot of people of would have done that."

"Yeah," Tommy agreed.

Road!

As Trent sat in the back of the jeep reading while they drove down the road when Tommy looked in the review mirror before he looked ahead.

"Trent, Kim looks, do you two see that?" Tommy asked.

"A big gold guy running 50 miles right behind us?" Trent asked making Tommy slam his foot down on the break.

"This is not good," Kim mumbled when the gold guy slam into the back of the jeep before they got and walked to the back.

"What is that thing?" Trent asked as they looked at it.

"Oh man," Tommy said looking at Trent, "my insurance company's never gonna buy this."

Just then the gold guy clinched his fist and stood up.

"Which one of you is Dr Oliver?" the gold guy asked then.

"Uh..."

"That would be me," Tommy said as he stepped forward.

"Then prepare for your demise." The guy walked quickly to attack Tommy. "Your mine."

Tommy started to fight the gold guy as Trent and Kim watched. When Tommy had the chance without Trent seeing he called for back up.

"No!" Kim yelled before she and Trent jumped in to help.

Trent and Kim knocked the alien thing away from Tommy before they stood in front of him in a fighting stance.

"No Trent, Kim," Tommy said, "stay back."

"We can help," Trent told him as they went to fight the thing again.

They kept fighting him when they were knocked to the ground a second time before he went to attack them again he was blasted back by them making Tommy, Kim, and Trent over to see the Power Rangers or better aka to Tommy and Kim: Jessica, Conner, Kira, and Ethan. Conner made sure that Tommy was alright before he, Kira, and Ethan and ran over to fight the alien monster thing while Jessica stopped to check on Kim and Trent.

"Trent, Miss Kim, are you alright?" Jessica asked them.

"Hey, how did you know my name?" Trent asked right back.

"Uh..."

Jessica and Trent looked up to watch the other three Rangers fight off the thing. Just when they knocked him to the ground Zeltrax appeared in front him.

"I was wondering when you show up," Conner said.

"You," Zeltrax said as he looked the golden guy, "return with me at once."

"But father, my mission is not complete."

"Now don't as your told."

"Yes Father."

"Father?" Conner asked once the robots left, "did he just call him father?"

"I think so," Ethan answered.

"Well," Kira said looking over at the boys, "that was weird."

This got a nod from her three teammates.

Next Day: Hayley Cyberspace!

Jessica stood behind the counter with Hayley who was looking over a latter that the young red-head woman had gotten while Tommy and Ethan sat in front of them with Kim next to Tommy.

"I don't believe this," Hayley groaned as she slammed the paper down.

"Junk mail?" Tommy asked as Kim picked it up to read it.

"I wish," Hayley answered, "check it out."

Kim handed it over to Tommy after she read it.

"What does it say?" Ethan asked.

"A latter from the city," Hayley answered, "it seems as of tomorrow I have a new land lord."

"Not just any land lord," Tommy told them all, "Anton Mercer."

"He's going to rebuild the whole cyberspace and he's going to replace me," Hayley told them.

"With who?" Ethan asked.

Hayley looked up at Trent making Jessica to also look up while Kim, Tommy, and Ethan turned around.

"So you heard?" Trent asked.

"What's the deal man?" Ethan asked, "one ruf day at the office and your rich Daddy buys it for you."

"It's not like that," Trent told him, "I have nothing to do with this."

"Look I've got a friend at City hall," Tommy said, "maybe we can check out the deal and see if Mercer missing something."

"I know my dad long enough to know that he doesn't make mistakes," Tretn told him.

"I know your Dad long enought to know that he does," Tommy countered before he looked at Ethan and Jessica, "come on."

"Wait," Trent said making Tommy and Ethan to look at him, "I'm going with you. This is because of me. I'll do whatever it takes to fix this."

Hayley nodded while Ethan stood up as Jessica walked over to Tommy.

"City hall here we come," he said.

Tommy, Kim, Trent, Jessica, and Ethan all walked out of the cafe leaving Hayley to look after them.

City Hall

It didn't take them long enough to get to City Hall. Once parked the five of them all got out of the jeep and started walking over to the building.

"Man, I hope there is something we can do," Trent stated.

"Me, too," Tommy agreed.

"Dr Oliver and Miss Hart," an African-American woman wearing red greeted a she shocked Kim's hand first before shaking Tommy's. "My office told me, you two were coming down."

"Council Woman Sanchez," Tommy greeted, "thanks for taking the time to talk to us."

Just as the Council Woman nod, Zeltrax and his son showed up, Tommy, Ethan, Trent, Jessica, and Kim moved in front of Council Woman Sanchez.

"There!" Zeltrax said

"I see him." Goldenrod said before firing a blast. Jessica, Ethan and Dr. O went one way while Kim and Trent took Council Woman Sanchez another way. "I will make you proud father."

"Trent, you and Kim take Council Woman Sanchez where it is safe," Tommy told him

"You got it!" Trent said.

"Yoo-hoo!" Cassidy yelled as she and Devin appeared on scene, "Council Lady! Cassidy Cornell! We were here first!"

Goldenrod growled in annoyances.

"Intruders!"

Both Cassidy and Devin turned around, gasped when they spotted the two creatures. The Golden-armored figure sent a laser beam their way and Cassidy screamed as it hit at their feet, sending them flying into the bushes beside the sidewalk.

"This is why I hate politics!" she whined, "let's get outta here."

Devin nodded and they grabbed their items and run off while Jessica, Tommy, and Ethan were in fighting stances by then, and rushed forward to meet Goldenrod in battle. Tommy, Jessica, and Ethan started to fight off the Goldenrod, however, the triple team was not working how the three fighters were hoping it would. Tommy went to kick him while Ethan went to punch him as Jessica tried to knock him off his feet. Goldenrod kicked Tommy away from him and the threw punches at Jessica and Ethan. The three went for another attack, but soon Goldenrod had threw Jessica, Ethan, and Tommy back. Jessica and Ethan got in defensive stance.

"Your son has gotten stronger!" Tommy told Zeltrax.

"They grow up so fast," the monster in black armor said, "don't they?"

It wasn't long till Conner and Kira showed up

"We heard you guys were here to fight city hall." Conner said

"They must have meant fight in front of it," Kira told him.

"You guys ready?" Tommy asked

They all held their arms across their chest before their morphers appeared.

"Dino Thunder! Power up! HA!"

The five Rangers quickly morphed

"Tyrannodrones attack! Destroy them."

Soon the rangers were in a fight between freaks called Tyrannodrones and a golden guy.

"Thundermax Saber!" Conner called out as he pulled out his saber.

The four Rangers charged in and started to attack the group of Tyrannodrones. Jessica also had her Thundermax Saber out as she took out a lot of Tyrannodrones, but soon Goldenrod attacked her. She sent a kick at him but he ducked under it, however, he then spun his blade around and tried to attack Jessica, but she managed to block it with her Thundermax Saber. Goldenrod then kicked her in the side before he went to slash at her, but she did a back flip and dogged it, however, he then went to slam his sword on her though she rolled out of the way. Jessica locked her Saber with his sword before they both backed flipped away.

"Para Bow!" Jessica yelled as she summoned forth her bow before she started to fire arrows after arrows at Goldenrod who just dodged unaware that she was being watched by four black clothed figures each with a different color running around the rims from a near by building. Jessica locked blade with bow as she continued to fight against Goldenrod.

"My son, destroy the city!" She heard Zeltrax order.

"Yes father," Goldenrod agreed when he knocked her away from him before he grew in size, "I'm larger then life!"

"Whoa!" Jessica breathed, "this is all yours guys."

"His big," Conner breathed making the Green Ranger to roll her eyes.

"I'm going to rock this city! Yeah!"

"That's our caw," Tommy said before he brought up his morpher, "BrachioZord!"

They all watched as the Zord come upon the scene before it opened it's carrier and brought out the 3 main Zords.

"Dino Rangers!"

"GO!" Jessica watched as the others form the MegaZord before she ran to go help Tommy who was still fighting Zeltrax.

"Give up Zeltrax," Jessica heard Tommy say.

"Never," Zeltrax was next to speak.

Jessica ran up just in time to see Tommy land a hit on Zeltrax.

"That's not my only trick," Tommy stated making the Green Ranger moved her head to the side in wonder before she looked back at the MegaZord fight, however, she soon noticed the figures up on the roof over looking the fights. Tommy soon ran up to her having injured Zeltrax enough to help the others. "Jessica, is everything alright?"

Jessica looked over at Tommy.

"I think we're being watch Dr O," the Green Ranger answered.

Tommy looked to where he saw the Green Ranger look to see what she meant.

"I'll help the others," Tommy spoked as he looked back at the young girl next to him, "you go find out who they are."

"Right," the blonde agreed before she took off at a fast run that turned into a Ninja Streak.

Tommy watched as Jessica jumped up onto the roof of the building where the figures where before turning back to the MegaZord battle to help them. Once Jessica landed on the roof she turned where the figures where standing to notice the outfits they where wearing making her narrow her eyes.

"What the hell?" Jessica yelled/asked.

"Watch what you say young Ranger," an all to familiar female voice told her.

"Tori?" Jessica asked as she stepped forward.

"You were right Tori, Cam," another all to familiar voice said, "it is her."

"Shane?" Jessica asked as she stopped a few feet in front of them, "wait a minute?" She then looked at the one with green trims. "Sensei Cam?"

Just then they all looked up to see that Goldenrod was destroyed by Tommy making Jessica smile under her helmet.

"Well, it looks that the Rangers can handle themselves," Tori said with a smile under the mask she was wearing.

"Dude, I have to agree."

"Alright," Jessica said as she turned back to them, "what are all of you doing here?"

The one in crimson laughed before he looked over at the one in yellow.

"Should we tell her?" "I think we should, man." Tori rolled her eyes at the boys before looking back at her Sister.

"We waned to know if what Cam and I thought was corrected or not," she answered.

"And that would be?"

"If you were the Green Dino Ranger or not," Cam answered, "I got to say that I'm glad that my Successor is one of my top students."

Jessica smiled before she looked to see the others with Tommy.

"I have to go." With that being said Jessica Ninja Streaked down to ground before running up to the others.

Hayley Cyberspace!

All Rangers sat at the counter with another person next to them dressed in a red suit when Anton Mercer walked in, but he didn't notice them.

"Ok," he said before pointing to a wall, "uh...let's get that wall toren out, but let's save the computers."

"Hang on," Hayley said as she walked forward, "you don't own it yet."

"Hayley," Anton greeted, "as much as I hate to say this, but you really can't fight City Hall."

"I wouldn't be so sure of that Doctor Mercer," the woman said as she walked up to stand next to Hayley, "my name is Eleanor Sanchez, Council woman for the thirty-third district. It is with great pleasure, I inform you that the city council has ordered to put your purchase of this land on-hold."

Tommy walked up to stand next to the woman.

"You are apart of this?" Anton asked them.

All Tommy was nod.

"Actually, we've had your son to thank," Council Sanchez told him, "he made me realize that a place like this is a safe-haven for learning and interaction for the Youth of our community is something that shouldn't be disturbed or changed in any way."

At this Kira, Ethan, Jessica, Conner, and other teenagers and regulars moved to surround them as they stood up for what they believed in.

"I was just trying to do what was best for my son," Anton told them, "well, I'll just be going then."

Before Trent joined them in the celebration.
