[Chapter 9: White Thunder: Part 1!]

Mortified Forest!

Jessica and the others ran up to Tommy who was scanning the rubble.

"We came as soon as we could, Dr. O," Ethan said as he, Conner, Jessica, and Kira hopped onto the mound of rubble and rocks. "What'd you find?"

"Some sort of storage unit," Tommy answered, "the energy readings are so intense, this meter can't register them."

"What kind of energy is it?" Jessica asked as she was wondering why she had to put her samurai training on hold.

"The same kind that's in your morphers," Tommy answered.

"You're saying there's a Dino gem in here?" Kira asked.

"Not anymore, but there used to be."

"I thought you had all kinds of things that would pick up if there was a gem out here," Kira told him as she let a confused look across her face.

"Someone must've hidden it," Tommy explained as he looked at them, "and when the cloaking signal faded the readings went off the scale."

"So is this good news or bad news?" Conner asked.

"Guess that depends on who's got the gem," Tommy answered.

Mercer's Place!

It was after school and Trent walked inside of his father's office.

"Did you have a good day at school?" Anton asked.

"It was alright," Trent answered as he walked over to the bookcase.

"I trust you had time to think about our earlier conversation?" Trent's Dad asked.

"Is that what it was?" Trent asked in answer.

"I assume you're referring to the fact that you weren't happy with the…outcome?"

"I'm just not crazy about you telling me not to draw anymore," Trent answered as he leaned against his Dad's desk.

"Trent when your parents disappeared," Anton started as he closed his book, "you and I agreed that I would act as your father. And fathers…are sometimes force to make decisions…for the children that the…children don't care for..."

"Dad, I get that," Trent told him before he noticed something was wrong with his Father. "Dad are you alright?"

"Yes," Anton answered before looking at Trent, "I'm fine." Anton turned around. "As I was saying." He then began to loosen his tie as he put his book down. "I can only raise you the way I see fit. Now all I expect from you son is that you abide by my rules. Okay?"

"That fine," Trent agreed with a nodded.

"No go," Anton told him, "I have work to finish."

"Yeah me, too," Trent said as walked out, but the boy in white hide outside of the study to see him vanish. "Hello?" Trent called as he walked into the study, "what are you up to Dad? What's going on around here?"

Trent turned just before an invisiportal appeared so Trent went to touch it before it pulled him through.

Mesogog'sThrone Room!

Trent ended up landing in the lab that belongs to Mesogog before he looked around surprised.

"What is this place?" he asked he did a complete 180 to look before he noticed a glow from a table. "Wow."

Trent walked up to the table feeling his arm start to reach out for the glow, but he pulled it back. When Trent reached the table he saw a bracelet laying there vibrating before it sprung up and atteched itself onto his wrist. Trent looked at the bracelet that was his wrist to see it turn into the head of a some kind of bird. Images started to appear in his mind before he was blasted back onto the floor.

An unknown location!

Trent ran through a grassy field the bracelet's glowing before he fall to the ground as the gem over took his systems before in a blinding flash of white, a new Rangers was kneeling in his place.

Dino Lab!

The four Rangers all were walking down the stairs to the Lab after a day of school when they heard a beep coming form the main computer.

"Uh, Tommy!" they Hayley called before they started to run down it, "I think we have something."

Tommy ran over to the main computer to stand next to Hayley as the Rangers reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Unbelieve," Tommy breathed as the 4 of them ran up.

"Guess we got here just in time," Ethan stated.

"Is there a reason for that guy?" Kira asked.

"It's hard to tell its like the monster is looking for something," Tommy answered.

"Well it's not gonna like what it finds," Conner said, "come on guys."

"Lets do it," Kira agreed

The 4 of them jumped off the plat form that the computers were on to stand in a line.

"Ready?" Conner asked.

"Ready," Ethan, Jessica, and Kira replied.

"Dino Thunder! Power up! HA!"

The four Rangers quickly morphed before they left to engage the monster.

City Center!

The 4 Rangers ran up to the monster to see that it really was looking for something.

"Where are yooou?" a monster asked in a sing song voice.

"Hey!" Conner called out making the monster to look over at them, "over here! Is there something we can help you with?"

"Red, Blue, Yellow, Green?" the Monster asked as he looked at them, "no. I'm looking for something in basic White."

All 4 Rangers looked at the monster confused before Kira turned, placing her hands on her hips, and looked at the Red Ranger.

"Do you have an clue what he's talking about?" Kira asked Conner.

"None," Conner answered before they got into a fighting stance.

Seeing the laser beam headed their way they all flipped backwards to avoid it. As they straightened up they heard the whistling of air as a blur of white hitting the monster over and over again as sparks flew. The other 4 Rangers watched in confusion, but in awe at the fast paced attacks.

"What's that?" Conner asked.

"I don't know," Kira answered this time.

It wasn't long till the monster was destroyed and the blur vanished leaving confused Rangers behind.

"You guys saw that right?" Conner asked.

"Yeah," Tommy answered, "we're still trying to figuer out what it was."

"We'll try and followed," Conner told, "come on."

All of 4 of them rushed after the blur whiched lead them to a courtyard.

"It should be around here some where," Conner said.

"I don't see anything," Ethan told him.

"Look harder," a deep voice told them.

This made all 4 Rangers turn around to see two people wearing Ranger Uniforms in white. The White Ranger's suit many would say looked like a tiger design.

"Who is it?" Kira asked as she looked at Ethan.

"And how come he gets the fat helmet?" Ethan asked.

"This guy a friend of yours Dr O?" Conner asked.

"Never saw him before," Tommy answered.

"Ok," Conner said before he ran forward.

"Don't come any closer," the White Ranger told the Red Ranger making him stop, "you'll force me to do something I don't want to do."

"What do you mean by that?" Conner asked.

"Let me show you?" the White Ranger asked as he pulled out his sword. "White Drago Sword..." The White Ranger drew arrows in the air. "Laser arrows." The arrows all turned towards the 4 Rangers. "Fire!"

The attack hit all 4 Rangers before sending them to the ground.

"Was that really neassary?" Conner asked.

"That was just a warnimg," the White Ranger told them before he vanished.

Dino Lab!

The 4 Rangers ran into the Dino Lab just before the main computer went off.

"Hey," Ethan said as they ran up.

"Hows it going?" Kira asked as they held their helmets in the hands.

"Oh, great hes back," Jessica groaned.

"Looking for more trouble no doubt," Kira informed.

"You guys better get over there and make sure he doesn't go completely mid evil on some civilians," Tommy said.

"Good thinking," Conner agreed.

The four them turned around took off out of the lab.

Office Center!

"Hey," Conner called as they ran up getting the White Ranger's attention, "back so soon? I thought you made your point the last time."

"I only just getting started," the White Ranger answered, "you want some more?" The 4 Rangers charged at the White Ranger. "Fools." The White Ranger grabbed his sword and drew arrows into the arrows sending them to ground. "Weaklings." Jessica growled when she heard the White Ranger laugh as the others and her stood up before he ran forward becoming a blur making x shape marks on the rangers chest. He then flipped through the air before landing with his backs to the 4 Rangers who all ended up on the ground again. "That's got to hurt. To easy,"

"Alright, what's the deal?" Conner asked as he stood up, "we tried to be nice. Extend a little ranger love. And this is what we get?"

"I'm here not here to make friends," the White Ranger answered.

"Then what is it?" Conner asked, "what do you want?"

"That isn't something you need to know," the White Ranger answered, "all that's important right now is that there are 4 Rangers too many." The White Ranger turned around. "And I'm here to change that."

"Go for it," Conner challenged.

The White Ranger went in to attack Kira, Ethan, Jessica, and Conner sending his oppionts to the ground before laughing.

"That should do it," the White Ranger said.

The Rangers all stood up, but moved as if they where in pain making the White Ranger smirk under his helmet.

"Think we're just gonna walk away?" Kira asked.

"Not going to happen," Ethan told them as he and Kira and pulled out their Thundermax blasters.

They opened fired on them, but the White Ranger blacked it with his Drago Sword.

"No!" Conner yelled as he rushed over to them when they fall to the ground, "you guys."

Jessica moved to Kira as a pissed off Ethan making him push Conner away.

"Alright party times over," Ethan said before he looked off to the side.

"Wait!" Tommy called as he rushed in wearing his Ranger suit, "don't."

"What's the matter?" Ethan asked.

The White Ranger let out cackle.

"We don't know what his capable of," Tommy answered, "he's got powers that we might not be able to deal with." Tommy looked at him. "We don't want to hurt you. Just tell us why you are here?"

"Why am I here?" the White Ranger asked as he looked to his side, "let me see..." He then looked back at them. "To defeat you."

"That does it," Kira said as she and Ethan went in for an attack,

"Wait, no!" Tommy called out.

"Kira, Ethan!" Jessica yelled as the White Ranger sent Kira and Ethan over the wall and onto the street below before let out a gasp as the White Ranger followed them.

"Nice flight?" he taunted.

"He's gonna pay for that," Ethan stated as clenched his hands into fists while both Kira and him got up.

Kira nodded as they got up and rushed forward, but it wasn't long before the Blue and Yellow Rangers were thrown backwards into a parked car.

"Pathetic," the White Ranger spat as he walked towards them, "you're no match for me."

"We've got to do something," Jessica told the Red and Black Rangers.

"Like what?" Conner asked as he watched.

"Ethan thoughts?" Kira asked.

"Got it covered," Ethan answered as his weapon appeared, "Tricera Shield!"

"Good call," Kira agreed as her weapons appeared, "Ptera Girps!"

The two attacked again, but this time their attacks landed on the White Rangers morpher before it started to suck Kira and Ethan's energy out.

"He's to strong!" Ethan yelled.

"I can't take it!" Kira said.

The White Ranger slashed at the two of them which sent them backwards to the ground in pain before they de-morphed

"Okay, that's not what I had in mind," Kira told Ethan.

"Looks like it's game over," Ethan sighed.

"Not yet," Kira informed as Tommy ran up.

"Kira, Ethan!" he yelled before ran at the White Ranger with his staff that slammed onto the White Ranger's morpher.

"I'll take yours, too," the White Ranger told before his morpher started to drain Tommy as well while he was lifted into the air. "Now go!"

The White Ranger slashed at Tommy sending him the ground where he de-morphed just as Jessica ran up.

"Dr O!" Jessica yelled making the White Ranger turn to her.

"Now it's your turn Green Ranger," he told her as he walked forward.

Jessica summoned her bow into her hands before she pulled back the string and let go of it letting about 10 to 30 arrows fly at the White Ranger who just slashed at them to cut them in half. Jessica gasped in shock as the White Ranger moved quickly to get in front of her before he reached out to grab her, but thinking quickly the Green Ranger Ninja Streaked out of the way to only reappear behind him where she aimed a punch at his head only for him to turn around and block it. Conner came running up in time to see his Green Ranger friend and the White Ranger throw punches and kicks at each other while also locking sabers together as well, but the White Ranger managed to get the upper by grabbing a hold of Jessica wrist and allowing his morpher to suck her Ranger energy out of her.

"Jessica!" Conner yelled when the White Ranger throw her to the ground where she de-morphed.

"Not bad Green Ranger, but not good enough," the White Ranger told her.

While the White Rangers attention was on the four de-morphed Rangers he didn't see Conner come barreling at him from behind. Conner was about to knock the White Ranger sideways as the two of them crashed into a construction site sign

"Time for answers!" Conner snapped as they got to their feet, "now!" Roaring with anger, the White ranger rushed forward and kick Conner in the side as the red ranger caught his leg. "You're messing with the wrong dude. I'm giving you one last chance!"

While ignoring his words the White ranger slipped away from his grasp before slashing Conner across the chest and kicking him backwards forcefully. He hit a concrete wall and fell to the ground clutching his shoulder in pain as he powered down.

"You were saying?" the White ranger laughed, towering over the red ranger

The others arrived at that moment before Tommy helped Conner to his feet as Kira and Jessica stood either side of them.

"You okay?" Kira asked.

"Yeah, I think so," Conner answered weakly.

:You've been warned Power Rangers," the White Ranger told them coldly, "stay outta my way or be destroyed!"

And with that being said he disappeared leaving the teens and their mentor totally confused as to why.

"Guys," Tommy said as he walked forward, "we've got big trouble."

Dino Lab!

"It wasn't suppose to go this way," Ethan said before he looked at Tommy, "was it?"

"An evil White Ranger?" Tommy asked, "no, but of course it's been known to happen."

Jessica held her side as she sat next to Conner who was setting next to Kira.

"What do we do?" Kira asked.

"How are we to fight him if we can't get near him?" Conner asked.

They all looked at Tommy as he stood up and walked away from them.

"We figure out who this is," Tommy answered, "and what he wants before its too late."

Letting out a sigh, Jessica stood up and started to head to the exist when Kira and Hayley noticed.

"Where are you going Jess?" Kira asked making the others to look at her.

Turning around Jessica looked at Kira.

"To ask Sensei Cam to bump up my Samurai training," the Green Ranger answered before she turned back around and walked out of the lab.

Wind Ninja Academy!

Jessica was on the training grounds of the Wind Ninja Academy facing off against Cam, Tori, Shane, and Dustin while the other students of the Academy where watching near by.

"Keep it up Jessica," Cam told her as he locked his wooden sword with hers.

"Yes Sensei," Jessica told him as she sent to kick at him only for him to dodge.

Tori, Shane, and Dustin where next to attack her, but she blocked everyone of them and pushed them away before she backflipped to put some space between them. The Green Ranger was unaware of the fact Cam had sneaked up on her before it was to late and he had her pinned with his sword pointed at her neck.

"You need to keep your guard up even if your enemies are in front of you, Jessica," Cam told her as he helped her up.

"Yes Sensei."

Tori walked up to her Sister with a smile.

"Your weren't bad, but you still need some more training," Tori told her as she wrapped an arm around her.

"I know Sis," Jessica said as she rolled her eyes making Cam laugh.

Tori laughed while shaking her head before looking at Jessica.

"Come on let's go home," Tori stated, "after all you've got school tomorrow."

Shane, Dustin, and Cam laughed when Jessica let out a groan as she followed her Sister out of the Academy grounds.
