[Chapter 19: Tutenhawken's Curse!]

History Museum!

"Life for the Kings and Queens of Ancient Egypt was a walk with riches and treasure beyond the imagination," the tour guide was saying while Jessica was looking around as they walked into the room looking on in awe. "Some of these artifacts are over four thousand years old."

While Jessica was looking on in fascination the other Rangers where enjoying their time.

"Wow," Kira said in awe, "look at this stuff. Can you image what it's like to live back then?"

"Yeah, I can," Cassidy answered, "the Egyptian totally knew the importance of style and class so I would have fit right in."

Jessica looked at Kira who looked back at her before they went on.

"And this is the sarcophagus of the Ancient Pharaoh, Tutenhawken," the tour guide told them as they came upon it, "Tutenhawken was a feared leader who was believed to have mystical powers."

Jessica walked round to the other side where Kira was standing and looked over the coverings when Ethan joined them.

"Wow, check out these hieroglyphics," Ethan said with a smile.

"Weird," Conner stated, "what it say?"

"The legend is, that Tutenhawken, was able to put hexes upon his enemies," Jessica answered before the tour guide could answer, "the exact translation is unclear, but these writings are believed to be some sort of curse."

"Very good," the tour guide praised making Kira, Conner, and Ethan to look at their Green Ranger, "some one has been reading up on their history."

Jessica smiled a bit with a blush on her cheeks before they looked back at the hieroglyphics.

"That is so cool man," Ethan said as he pulled out a pen and paper, "I've to write this stuff down."

"Why?" Trent asked a little unsure.

"So, I can decipher its encrypted message," he answered with grin, "it'll be like cracking an ancient computer code."

"In other words, it speaks to his inner cyber geek," Conner told them with a cackle.

Jessica let out a sigh before she turned around to look at the other artifacts.

"Well, I for one wouldn't want to be on the receiving side of his curses," Kira stated.

"Oh, come on, you guys don't actually believe in that stuff, do you?" Ethan asked.

Jessica, Kira, Conner, and Trent all started to walk away from the sarcophagus to catch up to the others.

Hayley Cyberspace!

"So close," Ethan told them as he sat at his computer, "only a few more symbols to translate."

"Are you getting extra credit for this or something?" Conner asked as Jessica placed their drinks down in front of them before she went back to make more. This made the Red Ranger to look at her. "Why are you on that side of the counter?"

"Hayley asked me to work here to give her and Trent an extra pair of hands," Jessica answered as said White Ranger was busy waiting tables.

"No, it's a personal challenge," Ethan answered, "Tutenhawken may have been the king of Egypt, but I'm the king of codes."

"Ethan don't go there," Jessica said as she whipped down the counter, "I know some one who can beat you at code creaking. And I'm sure that Dr O does as well."

"Mrs. Porter said there might be a curse," Kira told him, "maybe you should..."

"This is about technology," Ethan told her, "hard facts. Not about some crazy Legend." Just then his computer beeped making him to grin. "Yes! I got it."

"Cool," Conner said as he looked closer, "what it say?"

"To the defilers of my tomb, I now bestow eternal doom, onto you who reads this first, upon you is the Pharaoh's curse," Ethan read before he looked at the others.

"Oh, dude, you're cursed," Conner started to tease him, "get away from me before it rubs off."

"Very funny," Ethan stated though he sounded nerves.

"Seriously though?" Conner asked, "what's going to happen, are you gonna turn into a Conker spaniel? Or sprout an extra head or something?"

"These warning's were put on the tomb to scare of grave robbers and thieves," Ethan explained to him, "that's it!" Conner nodded as he hummed while trying to scare Ethan. "Back me up here, Kira, Jessica?"

"Hey, I told you not to read it," Kira pointed out, "don't blame me if your hair falls out."

"Sorry Ethan," Jessica said as she went back to work.

"You guys listen," Ethan exclaimed, "nothing is going to happen because I read that curse." All five Rangers were unaware that Tutenhawken was brought back to life. Once finished behind the counter, Jessica walked out from behind it to join the others when Ethan's watch beeped. "5:30!" Ethan panicked once he looked at his watch. "I told my mom that I'll pick her up at work!" Jessica and the others watched he franticly gathered his things only to drop his laptop on the ground where it exploded and started to smoke. "I don't believe it."

Jessica, Kira, and Conner moved behind him as he picked up his destroyed laptop.

"Your new laptop," Kira gasped in shock.

"My games, my files, my life," Ethan moaned as he held the computer.

"It's started," Conner said in worried tone, "Tutenhawken's curse."

"Would you quite about the curse," Ethan told him, "there's no such thing."

The other three Rangers watched as Ethan left the cafe looking down and upset before looking at each other.

Hours Later!

Jessica sat with Conner and Kira at a table while they enjoyed some smoothies when Ethan walked in and over to them.

"Guys, listen I think your right, Tutenhawken's Curse is real," Ethan told them as he sat down.

Jessica shot up out of her set gagging before she moved over to the counter while Conner and Kira made disgusted looks.

"Ew," Conner said at the smell that was coming off of Ethan, "what to tell us from over there? You smell weeks old fishsticks."

"A lot of weird stuff had been happening to me," Ethan went on, "there's no other explanation."

Jessica sat close enough to hear them while far enough away from Ethan to not end up gagging when Devin walked into the cafe wearing Egyptian servant clothes.

"You may step through my Queen," he said just as Cassidy walked through the door.

The Green Ranger had to do a double take when she Cassidy in a royal blue dress, jewels, and a Cleopatra wig.

"Isn't a little earlier for Halloween Cassidy?" Kira asked confused.

"You shill address me as Queen Casspatra," Cassidy said in a form of a question making Jessica share a look with Kira before they turned eyes back onto Cassidy. "I can't believe that I use live like these lowly commoners." Cassidy cleared her throat. "My chair?"

Jessica had to look away when Devin whipped down the chair and table before Cassidy sat in it.

"Cassidy, what is with all this?" Ethan asked once he was standing front of her.

"You stinkth to high heavens," Cassidy informed him, "I find your order most foul peasant."

"Peasant?" Ethan asked confused, "are you losing it?"

"No, actually I just found it," Cassidy answered, "some one who appreciates me that is. Look at all the gold and jewels he gave me?"

"Man, people call you shallow, but I always told them that they where wrong," Ethan informed her, "I guess, I was the one who was wrong."

"Come on, move it pal," Devin told him after Cassidy singled.

Ethan walked back over to Kira and Conner while Jessica glared right at Cassidy.

"Don't feel Ethan," Kira told him, "Cassidy, well never change."

"But, she was changing," Ethan stated, "this hole Cleopatra thing has got to do something with that Pharaoh. I have got to find away to break that curse."

"Maybe there's something we missed at the museum," Kira suggested.

"Like some sort of counter spell or something," Ethan said as he looked at Kira in surprise.

"Kira, why don't you and Jessica go back to the Museum and see if you can find anything?" Conner asked, "Ethan, I think that you and I should go to Dr O's and fill him in on the situation."

The four teens got up from their set and walked out of the cafe.

History Museum!

Both Kira and Jessica quietly walked up to the sarcophagus to the other side of it. There both Kira and Jessica kneeled down and Jessica started to copy the hieroglyphics when the eyes of the sarcophagus' flashed and Tutenhawken awoken.

"Thieves!" he yelled making their eyes widen, "who dare to defile the Pharaoh's tomb?!"

"NO!" the two girls yelled as they quickly got up and ducked.

The two girls moved away from him and turned around.

"We were just copying it done," Kira told him as Jessica folded the paper.

"You shill bare the wrath of Tutenhawken!" the creature growled at them before he charged as Jessica put the paper in her back pocket.

The two girls tried to kick and punch Tutenhawken, however, he blocked them and flipped them over. Getting up the two girls glared at him.

"And you shill bare the wrath of the Yellow and Green Ranger," Kira stated.

The two girls summoned forth their morphers.

"Dino Thunder! Power Up! HA!"

The female Rangers quickly morphed.

"Ptera Power!"

"Para Power!"

Both Rangers pulled their Thundermax Blasters out and aimed at Tutenhawken.

"Fire Lasers!" The two girls stopped firing their Blasters when it appeared that it was doing nothing to him only for him to use a whip and send them into an exhibit.

"Your whole city well pay for what you've done," Tutenhawken told them.

"NO!" Jessica yelled as she looked up.

"STOP!" Kira yelled as he left.

The two girls quickly got up and ran after him.

Dino Lab!

Ethan and Conner were explaining about Cassidy's weird behavior while Hayley was working on something.

"Hayley, let us know if we can help, ok?" Tommy asked before the two boys turned back to him.

"What do you think Dr O?" Ethan asked, "could this curse be for real?" "If there's one thing I've lowered from being a ranger it's anythings possible," Tommy answered.

"What's the new project that Hayley's working on?" Conner asked.

"I don't know," Tommy answered, "she won't even tell me."

Just then the computer started to beep making them to look over to see Kira and Jessica appear on the screen only in their ranger uniform.

"Guys, we have a mad mummy in the Quarry!"

"You two go help Kira and Jessica," Tommy told the, "I'll connect Trent."

"Ready?"

"Ready."

"DINO THUNDER! POWER UP! HA!"

The two of them morphed quickly. "Dino Power! Eha!"

Quarry!

"Who dare challenges me?" Tutenhawken asked as he appeared in the quarry.

"Me!" Kira answered as she jumped into the scene Ptera grips.

Once Kira landed, she started to slash at Tutenhawken sending him back.

"Don't forget about me!" Jessica called as she jumped into air while pulling back the strings of her Para bow before letting lose a volley of about 50 arrows.

"Super Dino Mode!" the two girls cried out.

Kira hit him away with her Ptera grips while Jessica hit him with arrows from her bow. Kira flew at him and kneeled a second as more arrows hit him before she landed next to Jessica as there where explosions. Just then the two boys ran up to Kira and Jessica both of who looked a bit tired.

"Jessica, Kira, are you two ok?" Conner asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Kira answered.

"Same here," Jessica agreed.

"And so am I," Tutenhawken said as he stood up from the smoke.

"But, how?" Kira asked, "we destroyed you!"

"There's only one way to destroy the great Tutenhawken," the mummy told her before firing some kind of lasers at them.

All four of them dodged the blast before Tutenhawken flew through the air and snatched up Conner.

"We've got to follow him," Ethan told the two girls.

"Come on!" Kira said as all three ran off after him.

Forest!

"Put me down!" Conner ordered.

"As you wish," Tutenhawken joked as he dropped Conner.

Kira, Ethan, and Jessica all ran over to Conner as he hit the ground.

"Oh man," Kira stated.

"Thundermax Lasers!" both the Yellow and Blue Rangers yelled as they pulled out the weapon.

"Para Bow!"

"Fire!"

The Pharaoh dodged the attack, flew down, crashing into the rangers, and sending them to the ground.

"Now you all well pay."

Jessica stepped forward a bit when Tutenhawken was attacked from behind.

"You want more?" Trent asked as he was holding his Drago Sword.

"You shill see me again."

Trent moved a bit when he took off into the sky. "Power Down."

"Power Down."

They all ran over to Trent once they where in their civilian forms.

"Hey, guys," Trent greeted.

"Thanks ma," Conner thanked him, "we owe you one."

"Not a problem," Trent told him.

"This whole thing is my fault," Ethan told them making Conner to sigh.

"Look, he said that there's only one way to defeat him," Conner stated as he looked over at Ethan, "we've just got to find out what that is."

"Hold on," Kira told them, "we found more hieroglyphics at the exhibit." Jessica pulled out a piece of paper and unfolded it. "Maybe there's a counter spell in there."

"Yeah," Ethan said as he took it, "worth a shot."

"Well, get cracking king of codes," Conner told him.

Jessica let out a sigh as gust of wind blew the paper out of Ethan's hands before he went to go get it, but it was the sound of something breaking that got her attention. When she looked she noticed that a tree was falling towards and Trent acting quickly tackled him to the ground just in time. The other three ran over to them look weird.

"Are you ok?" Conner asked.

"Don't worry Ethan," Kira told him, "you can break the curse." "I just hope I live long enough, too," Ethan groaned.

Dino Lab!

All 5 Rangers where back at the Dino Lab with Tommy watching Ethan try and crack the hieroglyphics that Kira got.

"Sweet," Ethan exclaimed as he finished deciphering the second set of symbols. "Your mine!"

"Careful," Conner warned as he started to tease Ethan, "it might be an even worse curse." At this he grinned. "Hey that rhymes!"

Jessica reached over and smacked Conner upside the head.

"Tutenhawken's power cannot be beaten on Earth but only in the sky can you break the Pharaoh's curse" Ethan read before he let frown appeared.

"Great," Kira said with a smile, "I'll just use the PteraZord to fight him."

"I don't know Kira," Tommy said as he looked at her, "the curse's on Ethan. I think he's the one who has to break it."

"The last time I checked the TriceraZord didn't have wings," Ethan said with a sigh.

"Ethan," Hayley's voice said as came up to them making all 6 of them to look at her, "you about to owe me so big time." She turned around. "Come look."

The wall opened to reveal a new bike that was all blue.

"Whoa check it out."

"Nice work."

"Wow," the 2 girls said in shock.

"Tight," Ethan said in awe, "that's for me?"

"Yup," Hayley answered, "the latest technology." Jessica giggled. "Faster then anything I have ever build."

"That is so amazing," Ethan said before thought dawned on him, "it's wouldn't happened to fly would it?"

"Fly?" Hayley asked before her smile faded. "No."

"Hayley," Tommy said as he placed a hand on her shoulder, "we, huh? Need it to fly."

"I see," Hayley said as she moved forward, "and you couldn't have told me that before."

Ethan watched as Hayley got back to work before looking at the others.

"I'm going to stay and help her."

Tommy was setting at the main Computer while Ethan and Hayley where adding more touches to his bike when the alarm sounded. The five Rangers looked at the screen of the computer to Tutenhawken back in the quarry.

"What is with monsters and the quarry?" Jessica asked.

Tommy looked at the four teens.

"Looks like more trouble."

"Their not finished modifying the bike yet," Trent said when Tutenhawken appeared on the screen.

"We better hold him off for as long as we can," Conner told them from behind Trent.

"Okay," Tommy agreed before he moved out of the way.

Jessica stood up and went to stand next to Kira.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

"Dino Thunder! Power Up! HA!"

"White Ranger! Dino Power!"

The four morphed Rangers took off to face the brought to life mummy.

Quarry!

"There he is," Conner told them before he reached for his Thundermax Blaster. "Ready?"

Kira and Jessica pulled out their own Thundermax Blaster while Trent pulled out his Drago Sword.

"Fire!"

The beams didn't hit, however, as Tutenhawken fired off some kind of green stripe of lasers from his eyes and the five energy beams connected, but bounced back exploding the ground beneath the Rangers feet sending them to the ground.

"We've got to go Super Dino!" Conner told his teammates.

All four of them felt the power surge through them before the lines on their suits changed. Tutenhawken once again fired off some kind of green stripe of lasers from his eyes knocking the four Rangers to the ground before Elsa appeared again while Trent and Sam stood up.

"We meet again White Ranger," Elsa growled as she pulled out her sword.

Trent went to attack Elsa, but she was able to knock him on the ground bear Conner and Kira.

"Trent."

"Back off," Conner ordered.

"It's over Rangers," Tutenhawken told them while the other three helped up their White Ranger.

"Finish them," Elsa told the Pharaoh.

"I shill."

Tutenhawken for the third time fired off some kind of green stripe of lasers from his eyes knocking the four Rangers to the ground knocking them out of Super Dino Mode.

"Man that was harsh."

"When did they hook up?" Kira asked.

"I have no idea," Jessica answered.

Just then a blast knocked Tutenhawken out of the sky making them all to look around before Ethan came into view on his cycle.

"Hover Craft Cycle to the Rescue," Ethan said as rode right by the others.

"Wow," Conner breathed

"Go Ethan," Trent and Jessica breathed.

"Hey, I want one of those, too," Conner said.

"Lasers!"

Ethan fired at Elsa, but she was able to dodge them before she tried to attack him, however, that didn't work. As Elsa kept on trying to attack him, Ethan just dodged by driving out of the way, but he was able to knock Elsa to the ground this time when he used his Thundermax Blaster.

"Yeah."

"Alright."

"Look out!"

Tutenhawken fired at Ethan at that moment, but Ethan ducked before the Pharaoh flew over his head.

"Good-bye."

"I don't think so," Ethan told him before he revved his cycle. Near the edge of the lake the Cycle turned into a flying assault vehicle which the Blue Ranger used to fly over the lake and after the Pharaoh. "The Sky's the limit now." Tutenhawken tried to fire at the Blue Ranger, but he just dodged by moving his cycle up into the air. "Going up." Once he was hovering over the Pharaoh he attacked. "Fire!"

Ethan kept firing just waiting for a hit.

"You can't beat me," Tutenhawken told him before firing.

However, Ethan dodged the attack and he attacked as well, but they hit the Pharaoh.

"Up and over," Ethan said as he went over the Pharaoh.

"You well never defeat the curse," Tutenhawken told Ethan.

"Never is along time baby," Ethan stated before he went in for more attacks this time destroying the Pharaoh. "Sometimes I just love this job."

"Yeah, alright," Kira and Jessica cheered as they all ran over.

"You broke the curse," Kira told him.

"I sure hope so."

Just then Tutenhawken grew 30 feet tell making Jessica groan

"He's back," Trent told them while Elsa walked up to them all.

"Not her, too."

"Jessica and I well handle Elsa," Trent told them as both Jessica and him got ready for a fight.

"And we'll finish the freak," Conner told him.

"Right," both Trent and Jessica agreed.

Trent and Jessica went in to fight Elsa while the others ran off to take care of the Pharaoh, but not before Jessica give the Shield of Triumph more power with the other two. While the other Rangers destroyed Tutenhawken, Elsa sent a blast at the two Rangers that Trent was able to send back which sent her to the ground.

"Had enough?" Trent asked.

"You got lucky this time, but Mesogog well prevail," Elsa told them before she vanished.

"We'll be ready," Trent mumbled.

Hayley's Cyberspace!

Ethan was playing Foosball against Conner and Kira while other 2 members of the team where working.

"Oh, that's another win for team Red," Conner told him, "tell you what next time we'll play tomb raider." Ethan looked at Conner with a none amused look on his face. "Ok, bad idea."

"I'm just glad that stupid Curse is broken," Ethan told them, "that was brutal."

"Speaking of brutal," Kira told Ethan just as Cassidy walked in.

"Can I talk to you a minute?" Cassidy asked Ethan, "alone?"

"Can we make this quick?" Ethan asked, "I'm busy."

The other two watched them talk while Jessica just shock her head.
