Tobias and Michael had arrived at the base the next day. Michael had been feeling a lot better from his mental struggle of his past wrongdoings. Zach and Xander were standing on the other side of the table where the blue and orange dino eggs laid. Brett was at the super computer still continuing his research.
"I have to be at work in an hour and a half, so let's try and get through this as quickly as we can." Tobias said nervous about being to work on time.
"You have super speed, you'll be fine." Michael scoffed at him. Tobias rolled his eyes.
"Don't you work at Rally's?" Xander asked.
"You mean Hell-y's? Yeah." Tobias said with an irritating tone.
"I heard working over there is brutal then any of the other fast-food places here in town." Zach included.
"Ugh you guys don't know the half of it. The only reason why I haven't quit is because the pay is decent." Tobias said.
"Changing topics, Zach you got Super Dino Mode now?" Michael asked.
"Yeah! I can even make electrical discharges with my punches! You should've seen how cool that punch I did was!" Zach said with an exciting tone.
"I hope I can get one." Xander said.
"What about you Dad? How cool would it be if you had one?" Tobias inquired.
"Pfft I'm already powerful. To be honest I don't need it. All of these fights have been cake walk for me. I wish we could find Mesogog right now actually. We all probably could take him on." Michael said.
"Let's not get cocky. Mesogog isn't someone we can just underestimate. If we aren't smart of this, we'd all be rushing towards our deaths. We need to be smart about this whole thing. Keep in mind he has an army and Zeltrax, this means that we would have to spend our energy fighting those off. If we are going to fight, I'd like to do so when we have at least all gotten Super Dino Mode. This power up seems to be an unstoppable force and could be our trump card." Brett said as he walked away from the computer. He motioned Zach and Tobias to the eggs.
"You figured out which of us will be able to hatch what eggs?" Tobias asked.
"Yes, Tobias you will have the orange egg, and Zach, the blue one." Brett said.
"You know orange is a brighter shade of red so it only makes sense that Tobias has that one and Zach the blue." Xander said.
"I don't think that matters. Remember I was able to hatch the Parazord which was green." Brett explained.
"Okay so what do we do?" Zach asked.
"Activate your morpher and place your hand on the eggs. When you do push the button on your morpher without activating them and that should do the trick. Your power from the morphers will transfer to the eggs giving them enough power for them to hatch."
Tobias and Zach did as instructed as the silver bracelets transformed and they reached out towards the eggs. Red and blue energy waves shot out towards the respective eggs as they began to be surrounded by the glow. A rumbling sound was being made in the eggs as the red and blue waves vanished. The eggs began to hatch with the blue one having a saw blade ripping through the egg with ease. A Dimetrodon jumped through the cracks with a blue body and white saw blade on its back with blue lines sticking up. The Dimetro Zord began walking up Zach's arm making cute little dinosaur noises.
"Oh, that's a Dimetrodon!" Tobias said excited.
"Oh boy here comes the walking dinosaur encyclopedia." Michael said looking at Tobias.
"To be honest I know nothing of Dimetrodons. I never considered them interesting enough to look into." Tobias said. As soon as he said that his egg began to hatch as an orange Ankylosaur emerged out and began crawling up his arm admiring him. The Ankylo Zord began making little noises as if it began rubbing his face on his arm.
"Aww that's so cute!" Zach said as he reached out to pet the Dino Zord.
The Ankylo Zord immediately ran up Tobias's arm as it spun around and took a defensive stance. Tobias began laughing as he used his other arm to grab his new dino. "It's okay little buddy. You don't have to worry about him we are all friends here." He said as he pet the top of its head. "Huh his back has a shield like shape but his tail is triangular shape. That's weird I would've thought he would have a club." He questioned.
"A club?" Xander asked.
"Yes. Ankylosaurs are herbivores, so they can't fight back ripping and tearing apart their enemies. But they all had thick heavy clubs at the end of the tail that helped them in fights with other dinosaurs. It could shatter bones of dinosaurs bigger than it." He said rubbing the Ankylo Zord's back.
Ankylosaurs were Tobias's favorite herbivores. His favorite carnivore was Velociraptors. He began to wonder if they might be able to get a Raptor Zord added to their ranks if they found more eggs during the team's journey. "That would be nice to get a Raptor Zord." He thought. His thoughts were interrupted as an alarm sounded on the computer.
"Looks like we got a monster attacking the city." Brett said.
"I have some time to kick its ass before I'm late to work. Let's hurry I'd love to see how our new Zords work against the new threat. All five of us should be good enough to take it out in mere seconds." Tobias said. The new Dino Zords slowly began to fade away as they transported themselves back to the world with the other Dino Zords.
Everyone formed a line as Tobias took a few steps ahead.
"Ready?" He asked as everyone responded.
"Ready!"
They brought their braces up to their chests as they transformed into the Dino Morphers.
"Dinothunder! Power Up!'
"White Ranger, Dino Power!"
Everyone's gold symbol's appeared in front of them as their suits formed around them. The tri colored walls opened up as the Invisi-portals activated. The Rangers left their respective colored bikes behind as they rushed through them and appeared inside one of the parks that surrounded the town. People were running for their lives past them as the sound of trees were breaking all around. Xander had pointed out a giant gold coin lying on a ground as it began to vanish. No more than fifteen feet away was a man dressed in a suit chucked across the woods as he hit his back on a tree. The Power Rangers quickly ran to help him and once they got up to him, they noticed a gold coin being thrown at him that got absorbed into his chest. The man screamed in pain and once the coin was completely inside him, he passed out from the shock.
In front of the man was a bear like monster with a weird machinery chest piece. His right leg was furry like that of a bear, but his left had these wires and cables exposed. He had a giant right ear with something metal inside of it and a much smaller ear on his left in the shape of a Japanese coin. The middle of his head exposed something like a brain and his mouth had a creepy and horrifying smile. Across his chest were dollar bills.
"Oooh Ka-Ching has finally met the Power Rangers! My master made me to have the humans wipe themselves out!" The bear said.
"What did you do to this man!?" Brett asked.
"Oh, he's going to be fine, but not when the desire for money starts kicking in!" Ka-Ching said.
"As if we let you! Come on Tobias let's take this guy out together!" Zach said.
Tobias and Zach stood in front of the group as they crossed their arms.
"SUPER DINO MODE!"
The two Rangers white claw marks on their suit stretched out as the two ran towards Ka-Ching. Both Rangers cocked back their arms as blue and red electricity formed around their fists.
"Double Dino Smash!"
The two went to punch Ka-Ching but a giant gold coin appeared in front of him as it shielded him from being hurt. There wasn't even a scratch on the coin as it absorbed all of the power transferred into it and began growing in size.
"Ha! Now you're in for it Rangers!" Ka-Ching said as the coin began glowing brightly.
A hole where the fists were opened up and wrapped around their wrists. "What is this?!" Zach said worried.
"Pull out your arm Zach!" Tobias commanded.
They both tried as hard as they could but it had no effect. Michael tapped into his super speed as he came to his son's aid. He darted around the trapped Rangers with his dagger out. As soon as he raised his dagger above his head to attack, the giant coin moved to the side hitting Michael's shoulder and trapping his shoulder in the coin. "He can move the damn coin?!" Michael said with a shocked expression. He then noticed his dominant right arm wasn't trapped as he activated the power of his dagger to deal a fatal blow. "If you think you're safe at this distance, you have another thing coming bear!" He threatened.
"You think so White Ranger? You're in my trap now and I control the flow of money once you're trapped!" Ka-Ching raised his claws up into the air as the gold coin levitated into the air. Michael was ready to strike but the coin began producing an electric discharge that zapped all of the Rangers trapped. All three screamed in pain. Xander made a step forward and then froze in his place as he observed the situation.
"If I try to attack, I'll get trapped in the coin as well. How do I handle this without getting trapped?" He questioned himself. He didn't focus on the fight as a gold coin was coming straight for him. Brett turned the dial on his Brachio Staff as he jumped sideways into the air with his weapon in an inverted grip.
"Brachio Staff: Wind Strike!"
His weapon had a green glow around it as he slashed at the coin upon landing to protect Xander. The coin was sent flying back towards Ka-Ching who brought the Rangers still being shocked as a shield. Once the coin holding the Rangers met with the one flying back a flash of light was made as the two coins vanished. The huge gust of wind from Brett's attack had hit all three of the Rangers as they got sent flying farther away from the battlefield and reverted back to their human selves clutching their chest in pain.
"You used my students as a shield?!" Brett said as he turned the dial.
"Bear-y good strategy wouldn't you say?" Ka-Ching said.
"Ugh I hate puns." Brett said as he charged towards Ka-Ching.
"Brachio Staff: Energy Orb!"
Brett did a circular motion with his blade as a purple orb appeared. He slashed it towards Ka-Ching who had a gold coin appear in his claws and used it to slap the attack right back at Brett. Brett ran smack dab into the attack as Ka-Ching came charging at him. Ka-Ching had a second gold coin appear in his other claw and once he got in close proximity of Brett he smashed the two coins together as the same bright light show happened leaving Brett dazed and blind. He held his weapon up to try and defend himself for the brief few seconds he was blind.
"Xander do something!" Tobias yelled out on the ground.
"What can I do? Anything I do this bear can just prevent. How do I beat it?" Xander said.
He began twitching violently and shaking in fear, and immediately grabbed his gun and aimed it at Ka-Ching who was getting ready to slash his claws at Brett. "Maybe I can fire a blast into that thing's eye giving us an advantage, if he can't see he can't prevent our attacks effectively." Xander thought.
Xander saw the spirit of his dead girlfriend place her hand on his gun, "Don't Xander, you'll hit Brett instead at this distance." She said to him.
"Then what do I do? I have to save him!" He said to her.
"Think calmly. You have to remain calm in this situation." She spoke.
Xander heard Brett scream in pain as Brett got slashed across his chest. Brett tried to fight back but kept getting hit by Ka-Ching's claws. "BRETT! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Xander said as he panicked and began firing multiple blasts towards Ka-Ching. Ka-Ching slapped Brett across the face causing him to turn around just in time and in the right angle for the blasts to hit him in the chest.
"THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!" Ka-Ching yelled in an exciting tone.
He then summoned out another giant gold coin as he smashed it into Brett's side sending him flying into a tree causing Brett to revert back to his human form clutching his side. Xander's eyes were wide open as he noticed what he had done. "XANDER SNAP OUT OF IT!" Emily yelled at him.
"I can't do anything right…I'm so controlled by my fear…" Xander said as he stood there letting his emotions warp around him.
Ka-Ching walked closer to Xander as a gold coin formed in his claws, "Now I just deal with the runt of the group. Once you get a taste of this power you'll become like your friends and everyone else I have infected. You guys won't be able to fight me and will kill each other as an insatiable desire for money courses through your minds. The Power Rangers will be no more once their last remaining member becomes obsessive with money." Ka-Ching said as he now stood in front of the still frozen Xander.
Emily was screaming at Xander to move but his guilt of hurting Brett and his self-torment of letting his fear control him blocked out all the sounds he could hear from her. "Why am I even a Power Ranger? What good am I as a superhero if I can't even protect the ones I care about the most?" Xander said to himself.
Ka-Ching went to lay the blow on Xander but a red streak zoomed around Ka-Ching before a blade was stabbed into Ka-Ching's shoulder. Tobias had arrived and once he stabbed his sword from his Ranger Form into his opponent's shoulder, he grabbed and pulled back with all of his might to throw Ka-Ching onto his back. Ka-Ching didn't know what was going on. "You should be infected by my power right now! Why are you still able to fight?!" Ka-Ching asked.
"Infected? That would explain why my body feels weird. I'm not letting you hurt Xander." Tobias said standing over him.
"You have to admit he's useless as a Power Ranger. He just stood there and watched all of you get wiped out. He's your weakest link! I'd be doing you a favor Red Ranger!" Ka-Ching argued.
Tobias looked at Xander who was shaking in fear and then back at Ka-Ching, "You're wrong." He said.
Xander's shaking came to a halt surprised to hear what Tobias had to say.
"False hope will only kill you guys even more." Ka-Ching said.
"It's not false hope. Xander is not useless; if he were to put his fears to the side, he can do amazing things. I've seen his potential in battle multiple times; I've been able to see that since I first met him. He can't see it himself because he keeps his blinders on. If he were to take them off, I would doubt he would ever be infected by you." Tobias said. A weird pain spread through Tobias's head as he bent his legs a bit grabbing his head. "Shit. Something's wrong with my head. I've gotten everyone out of here, I just need to grab Xander and run." Tobias thought as he tapped into his dino power and rushed Xander back to the Invisi-Portal. Ka-Ching got up as he noticed everyone in the park was removed.
"That Red Ranger is indeed strong. I guess I can sit back and watch the fun destruction of this town begin." He said as he walked away.
Xander was brought back to base with Tobias. Once inside Tobias turned and faced Xander, "Everyone is holed up in the training room. I need you to do me a favor okay?" He asked Xander.
"If it's fighting Ka-Ching on my own forget it. I can't do it, I'm too afraid to fight him, I'll just lose." Xander said with an irritation in his voice.
Tobias had this painful look on his face as he was trying to fight back a weird urge, "Look…You can do it I know you can." He said encouraging him.
"BUT I CAN'T! AND WHEN I DID I INJURED BRETT! I DON'T WORK WELL WHEN I AM BACK AGAINSTS THE WALL!" Xander roared at him. Tobias grabbed his shirt and pinned him up against the wall.
"YES YOU CAN XANDER! Anyone can get over their fears. You know how?! By showing that you're better than your fears, with courage! Remember when Emily died and you saw her body?! You faced her killer and won! You think you're the only one on this team who's constantly afraid? We ALL ARE XANDER! I'm afraid that I'm going to fail as leader and I fear for all of our lives the moment we step foot on the battlefield. I'm terrified of losing the ones close to me; I was terrified when I watched my mom become Zeltrax! I was scared of my father being the White Ranger! I saw just a glimpse of how Mesogog can be when I was abducted! Yet I still fight to keep this town safe. If you can show bravery and courage to kill the killer who took Emily's life, then that shows you still have it! You can tap back into that again! I know you can Xander!" Tobias lectured.
"I don't know if I can…" Xander said.
"Then everyone here is going to die. I don't know what Ka-Ching has done to us but it's making us unable to properly fight, you are our only hope right now. You have to stand up. Zach has done it, I have done it, Brett's done it, Michael even stepped up when all of you guys doubted him. You can do this Xander!" Tobias said to him.
Tobias lowered his friend down as he walked away leaving Xander to his thoughts. Tobias went to the training room to meet up with the others and see what the bear had done to them. Xander slumped down to the ground as he was left in the room with Tobias's red bike. The wall that covered the bike closed as he sat on the ground with his head in between his legs. "I can't do this. You want me to do something that I'm just not prepared for." Xander said. "But if I don't something everyone's lives are going to be forfeited. Everything we've done up to this point would be for nothing. What do I do?" He pondered.
Xander heard the cry of his Ptera Zord as he looked at his bracelet and as he blinked, he was inside a black space with his Ptera Zord whose wings were crossing each other as it looked down at Xander. The Ptera Zord began making noises at him, and out of the noises Xander was able to understand what it was saying.
"Yes, I'm scared. I don't know how to find the courage to go out there and fight." He responded back. The Ptera Zord kept talking to him.
"Are you sure you even chose the right person to bond with? I remember everyone else saying when they first got their hands on their Dino Gems they heard their Zord's cry, but I never heard yours. I thought they were crazy." Xander said back.
The Ptera Zord went on a longer screeching noise and Xander slowly began to stand up.
"Wait so what you're saying is you saw the potential Tobias was talking about to me just now? What is this potential you keep talking about? I don't even know what it is." Xander questioned. Emily then appeared next to him as she placed her hand on his.
"It saw an unmovable will. The Ptera Zord saw that when you sought to fight back against my killer. It also bonded with you at the museum because it showed that you have the purest heart out of its friends. Even though you're life has been rough, it doesn't stop you from doing the right thing. You fought for me, you never fought back against the people who bullied you, and when Tyson stole your morpher and was captured by one of Mesogog's creatures, you did everything in your power to protect him when normal people would let ill will befall upon them. When put into a situation you always do the right thing no matter how hard it is. You get knocked down and stand right back up. That too is another thing the Ptera Zord saw in you. Pterodactyls are dinosaurs that aren't chained to the ground like the others; they soar above them in the air. The Ptera Zord saw that in you and is why you became the Yellow Power Ranger as well as the one for your Zord to bond its DNA with you. It's also because of that why I fell in love with you. You did things that I only wish I could do. I admired you. You've hit a few rough patches lately, but that hasn't stopped you from not wanting to be a Power Ranger. You keep fighting." Emily said with a tender smile on her face.
A tear ran down Xander's cheek as he began to realize everything up to this point. "I never saw myself like that. It's never occurred to me like that before." Xander said in awe.
Xander and Emily re-appeared back in the base as Emily stood in front of him with her arms crossed over each other, "Remember I'm always here for you. My love for you is infinite." She said as Xander crossed his arms and connected his fists with hers forming an irregular infinity symbol.
"…And I'm always going to be here for you. My love for you is infinite." Xander said.
"Glad to see you haven't forgotten our little speech." Emily chuckled.
"I think it's time I go kill a bear." He said as the door to the hideout opened up.
Xander ran out to gather his friends but as he took a step out, he saw the entire hideout was trashed. "What the heck happened in here?" He thought. Zach came bursting out of nowhere as he tackled Xander to the ground with his veins clearly showing on his head.
"Hey Xander, we are friends right? Friends help each other when they are in need right? Well, I'm in a little bit of need of some money, how about you just give me your wallet and I'll be on my way okay?" Zach said with a very creepy tone in his voice.
"Zach you know I don't carry money on me. I don't have a job remember?" Xander said trying to fight him off.
"Oh…Is that so? I guess you're not a real friend then, are you? I guess this friendship is over as well as your life." He said as he cocked back an arm that became encased with his dino skin. Zach went to deliver a powerful smash but Xander kicked Zach in the crotch and then lifted his feet up to his stomach as he kicked Zach into the stomach sending him flying. Zach was quick on the recovery as he and Xander stood up at the same time.
"Zach you need to break that hold on you!" Xander said trying to break through him.
"Why? The only thing worth anything in this world is money. Money is what makes the world go round! Tobias and the others think they can beat me and take my money but I'll show them! If I have to, I'll kill them! I'll kill anyone who doesn't give me their money!" Zach said. His eyes flashed yellow for a second.
"The infection must make people greedy for money. Everyone got hit by Ka-Ching's coins which would mean that they are feeling the same way. I need to find Ka-Ching, if I beat him this should reverse the grip on everyone before any serious casualties happen." Xander took one step back and Zach lunged for him. Xander activated his dino power as he emitted yellow soundwaves having Zach drop in mid-air and onto the ground clutching his ears.
"Get back here Xander! I'm not through with you yet!" Zach roared.
"I'm sorry Zach; you've always protected me and been there for me, it's time I return that favor." After saying that Xander ran up to his yellow-colored wall and as it opened, he activated the Invisi-Portal. He returned back to the park and there he saw Tobias and Michael fighting each other in a super speed match. Ka-Ching was standing there watching to see who would win in this fight. Michael had landed a sly blow on Tobias as he slammed his son into the ground.
"I'm so sick of being broke all these years! My own son is sitting here just having no troubles in the world while I've had to go and steal, steal, and steal again just to get what I want. How dare you get to live a life and have it so easy while I'm suffering!" Michael roared as he reached out and put a tight grip on Tobias's throat. "All I'm asking is a little bit of money. Surely money isn't worth the life I'm about to steal when I snap your neck!"
"You think I'll give in to your demands?" Tobias said trying to pry Michael's hands off his throat.
"I guess that remains to be seen, you ignorant speck." Michael said and as he turned around to slam Tobias back into the ground, Xander got close enough to activate his dino power causing them to fall to the ground clutching their ears. Both of their ears were ringing and they couldn't move from their positions.
"This is getting too crazy." Xander thought. He then looked over at Ka-Ching.
"Oooh what's this? The little cub isn't scared anymore?" Ka-Ching said.
"You're wrong. There is still a bit of fear in me of fighting you. But I come before you to show you that I'm going to crush that fear and save everyone." Xander said as he put his bracelet over his chest.
"Your friends here couldn't land a fatal blow on me let alone touch me while fighting me. The only reason Tobias got a hit in was my lack of awareness which won't happen again. You're not powerful enough to take me on. I'd think all of this has gotten to your head boy." Ka-Ching said.
"If you truly feel that way, then you wouldn't mind trying to back up that claim now, would you? Ready!" His bracelet transformed into the Dino Morpher as he pulled on the back of it opening the jaw of the Ptera Morpher's mouth.
"Dinothunder! Power Up!"
Xander back flipped into the air as he landed with his Ranger form fully completed. "I'll show you how serious I can be Yellow Ranger!" Ka-Ching claimed. Ka-Ching's money vest flew out towards Xander attempting to bind him where he stood. Xander summoned out his Ptera Grips as they glew a bright yellow and ran towards the attack. He began slashing at the money as he made his way closer to Ka-Ching. The shredded money turned into small coins instantly as they floated up into the air. Xander noticed this as he began running faster.
"If I can get close enough to Ka-Ching and dodge at the last second his own attack will hit him instead of me." Xander thought. The coins began raining down towards him as Ka-Ching summoned out the two giant coins into his claws. "He's going to use those to get me to be infected with what everyone else has. I just have to dodge that attack." As Xander got into proximity of the attack, Ka-Ching went to slam the coins into his sides like the others, but the power Xander had been powering up in his weapons he shot out like a pulse into the coins as he stood his ground trying to keep the attack from overwhelming him. He could hear the coins getting closer as he put a lot of his body weight onto his feet. Once he acquired enough weight, he jumped up into the air doing a front flip.
"You can't be serious!?" Ka-Ching said in awe as Xander's Grips lighted up once more. Ka-Ching saw his coins coming at him as he put the gold coins in front of him to shield him from the attack. This left Ka-Ching wide open for a combo attack.
While coming down from above and as Xander just passed the back of his head his voice dropped into a more menacing sound, "Still think I'm just a cub now?"
"Ptera Dance!"
Xander took his grips as he slashed down his enemy's back and then moved to the left side as he slashed through to his right and then the opposite direction. Xander circled around him slashing him in every place he could. He finished his attack by getting in front of him and jumped sideways into the air as he slammed the bear's face in sending him flying across the battlefield. Xander took this opportunity to finish the fight as he began running towards Ka-Ching with his weapons at the ready, "I'm going to free all of my friends. I'm no longer going to be afraid anymore!" He thought but right before he could deal the finishing blow Tobias and Michael stood in front of Ka-Ching causing Xander to stop his assault. "Oh, this isn't good." Xander thought as his two friends stared at him maliciously.
"We'll settle our differences after we take care of the runt first." Tobias said.
"Let's make a bet. Whoever wins gets all of the money the loser has." Michael challenged.
"You are more than welcome to try and win." Tobias said as the two assumed their stances.
"Dinothunder! Power Up!"
"White Ranger, Dino Power!"
"Oh great. This is going to be a challenge." Xander said as he became prepared to fight his friends.
"Hey! If anyone is going to take him down it's going to be me!" Zach said off in the distance as he began marching into the park with his morpher already transformed. "The little speck is going to pay handsomely for what he did to my ears."
"Dinothunder! Power Up!"
Zach transformed into his Ranger form as every one of the Rangers drew out their weapons. All of them had a dangerous intent to beat Xander to the ground. "I could probably take on Zach, but Tobias and Michael together can easily put me onto the ground. Oh God, if Brett is in the vicinity and joins this fight, I'm going to be even more screwed." Xander thought. His friends began moving closer to him as Ka-Ching began laughing.
"This is hilarious! I didn't know my power could get them to fight for me! This is truly amazing! Once they kill you, they will kill each other and Mesogog will have nothing to stand in his way! AHAHAHA!"
Xander had sweat run down his face as he came up with a strategy, "I just need to break through them and land a fatal blow on Ka-Ching. If I beat him, I'll save the others. The only real threat is Michael because he can tap into his super speed, but if I slash at his legs that'll give me some time to get to Ka-Ching."
"Go Rangers! Kill your friend!" Ka-Ching commanded.
The three rangers walked close enough to Xander as they raised their weapons that began to glow. Xander got ready to dodge and slash at Michael's leg before making a straight shot to Ka-Ching. Before he did, Tobias said something to him.
"I knew you could be brave." He said to him. "Everyone now!" Tobias yelled as Michael and Zach fired their attacks at Ka-Ching.
"Dino Shot!"
"Jurassic Swarm!"
The horn in Zach's Tricera Shield shot out as Ka-Ching put up a coin to protect himself. Michael's laser arrows began pushing back the barrier as Ka-Ching struggled to keep it up.
"You guys aren't under his influence?! But how?" Xander questioned.
"We'll explain later! Right now, don't you have something to do?" Tobias asked.
"Go Xander! I'll cover you from over here with my arrows!" Michael said.
"Deal the final blow on this defective bear!" Zach cheered.
Feeling the support from his friends, Xander rushed into battle. Ka-ching fired off more of the giant coins that began filling the air. Xander knew if these coins hit him, they would lock him into place. "Why don't you give me everything you got?" Xander challenged. He felt a surge of power inside him as he looked down at his morpher and saw the Ptera Zord give a victory screech for him as he began glowing bright yellow.
"Super Dino Mode!"
Xander's white claw marks extended out and under his arms were yellow flaps allowing him to immediately fly into the air. Everyone was amazed at this as they watched all of the coins zoom towards him in the air. Xander gathered up a ton of power as he was able to punch the coins back to Ka-Ching without getting caught. "GO XANDER!" Everyone said as they cheered him on. Ka-Ching dodged his coins being hit back at him as he kept summoning more. Instead of one coin coming at a time, the bear commanded them to attack at the same time. Every single one of the coins blocked any chance of escape as they came at Xander in every circular direction around him. He could fly up but that would only cause more issues. Xander thought clearly as he waits for the coins to get into a certain proximity of him. At the last possible second, he turned off his Super Dino Mode and fell to the ground. All of the coins clashed into each other and fell behind him. Right before he hit the ground Xander called out his power and transformed again as he did a quick aerial recovery from the fall and gained a huge boost of speed as he had his Ptera Grips begin to glow brighter than they ever have. Ka-Ching couldn't see Xander once he re-activated his superior form and couldn't set up a defense as Xander was quickly in front of him with his blades raised back.
"Flying Rage!"
Xander slashed through Ka-Ching's side and as he flew past him, he quickly soared up as his right fist began to glow. He soared down as Ka-Ching looked up into the sky just in time for Xander to punch him square in the face. The yellow power building up in his fist shot down like a pulse and in a split second caused yellow beams of light to shoot out from different parts of Ka-Ching's body as an explosion was made leaving only Xander breathing heavily in the remains of the bear. The coins inside the Rangers emerged out of their chests and shattered. Xander made his way to his friends with a big smile on his face, "I did it! I overcame my fear!" He said being proud of himself.
"I knew you could do it Xan." Emily said appearing right next to him.
"I guess I have you to thank for that as well." He said with a chuckle.
A dark cloud appeared over them as rain started pouring down causing Ka-Ching to grow in size. Once he did all of them were transported to the alternate world of theirs. "Let's see how well you can fight me before you get into your Zords, Rangers!" Ka-Ching said as he went to go step on them. In a nick of time the Ptera Zord came in with its wings glowing slicing at Ka-Ching.
"I think it's time we try out our new Zords huh?" Tobias said.
Rumbling came from the forest behind the Power Rangers as Tyranno, Tricera, Stego, and White Drago Zord appeared into the battle. Tobias raised his morpher up into the air along with Michael. "Zord's combine!" The two said.
All of the Rangers jumped up into the air as they went to their appropriate Zords that immediately began combining with each other.
"Thundersaurus Megazord!" Tobias, Zach, and Xander called out.
"Dino Stegazord!" Michael called out as they faced Ka-Ching.
"Okay I'll keep him at bay Tobias you guys go in for the kill." Michael said. The plates on his Megazord's back began glowing. But before he could fire Ka-Ching fired off a whip of dollar bills that wrapped around him as he slammed him up against his friend's Megazord. Once he did this a bunch of electricity followed the whip shocking both Megazords. Everyone was having a hard time getting their Zords to fight through the shock and the dollar bills began wrapped around both of their Zords as it continuously was causing their Zord to lose power.
"We can't win if that attack keeps going off!" Zach said.
Zach's morpher head changed into a different faceplate. It looked like the Dimetrodon that he had hatched. The eyes glowed as Zach looked out onto the battlefield. His Dimetro Zord came charging into the battlefield with its blade spinning rapidly. It jumped forward into the air as it sawed through the binds at the middle point of the Rangers and Ka-Ching.
"Wow he got big real fast! Thanks for the help!" Zach said to his Zord.
The Dimetro Zord gave a roar as Ka-Ching fired off a coin at it, "You puny little insect! I'll take you out first!" Right before the coin hit the Dimetro Zord, Tobias's faceplate on his morpher changed to the Ankylo Zord as the new Zord jumped from behind his troubled friend and the shield on its back began spinning. Once the coin hit the shield, it got sent back to Ka-Ching who ended up taking the hit and standing back. The Ankylo Zord gave a roar as well.
"Just how many new Zords are there!" Ka-Ching said angrily.
"Michael, can you get out of the binds?" Tobias asked.
"Yeah! I'm so ready to kill this thing." He said as he stood his Zord up. His back began glowing bright again as he started charging up his attack.
"Let's combine our new Zords!" Tobias said with Zach agreeing.
The Dino Drill and Tricera Fist began detaching as the Dimetro Zord and Ankylo Zord marched their way up towards the Megazord. The two flipped up into the air as they began to attach themselves to the appropriate arms of the Megazord. The Dimetro Zord replaced the Tricera Fist, and the Dino Drill was replaced by the Ankylo Zord. The Rangers could feel a major burst of power surging through their new Megazord upgrade.
"Do you guys think your new Zord is even strong enough to break through my defenses!" Ka-Ching said as he summoned out giant coins in front of him.
"Dad ready?" Tobias asked.
"You making me attack my son is going to be the worst mistake of your life money bags!" Michael slammed his hands on his white orb as he transferred a bunch of his power into his Zord.
"DINO STEGA LASER!"
The front of Michael's Megazord formed a ball of energy that he shot out into a powerful energy beam hitting one of the coins and began pushing it back.
"WHAT?! HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?!" Ka-Ching was shocked to see that his power was not only pushing his defenses back, but cracks were forming around his coin.
"Okay everyone pour as much power as you can! We are going to be using all of our strength to break through the coins!" Tobias commanded. The three Rangers put their hands on their orbs as the Megazord began running. Tobias commanded the Zord to jump up into the air and dove down to hit Ka-Ching in the area he had left exposed, his head. A coin came up and blocked the attack but Zach raised back his Dimetro Blade and made contact with the coin.
"SAW BLADE STRIKE!"
Zach roared as the saw began spinning faster and faster. It broke through the coin with ease, as knife cuts through butter. The Rangers cut through the coin and kept moving towards Ka-Ching who didn't have time to put up another barrier to defend himself. Tobias had the Ankylo Zord arm reared back as it began spinning like the Tyranno Drill.
"Anklyo Drill! Engage!"
Tobias roared as the drill rammed right through Ka-Ching's shoulder. All of the coins in the battlefield vanished as Ka-Ching was put near the verge of death. This meant that Michael's attack could finish its course as it enveloped all of Ka-Ching's body and just barely missing the Thundersaurus Megazord. The laser left not a single trace of DNA left of Ka-Ching and the attack stopped with an explosion being made out in the forest area hundreds of feet from where Ka-Ching once stood.
The Power Rangers left the cockpits of their Zords as they all waved goodbye to them. The Ankylo Zord lowered its head to Tobias who began petting it. "You did an amazing job buddy!" He praised.
The Dimetro Zord bumped its head against Ankylo as the two began chasing each other around away from the Rangers. "I guess those two are like buds huh?" Zach said with a smile on his face.
"It's kind of nice, isn't it?" Xander said.
All of the Rangers returned back to their original world and reappeared back into their hideout. Inside as they de-morphed they all began looking at each other. "So, I have a question. How did we Michael, Zach, and I break over the control from Ka-Ching?" Tobias asked.
"I know when I attacked Xander I was super obsessed at harming him. I became obsessed with wanting money as well. But then he did his dino roar and for some odd reason it made me get in control of myself." Zach said.
"I remember when Tobias and I were fighting; I kept hearing a voice telling me different ways to kill him. But then Xander yelled and that noise just vanished. My head was ringing all over the place and healing from the loud vibrations I could barely hear that voice anymore. If anything, I just have a major headache now from him doing that." Michael said grabbing his head. Everyone else began grabbing their heads in pain as Tobias stumbled over to his black and red book bag on the red part of the couch in the room.
"Don't worry I have some pain medicine in my bag." He said.
He opened up the bag and pulled out Tylenol as he started handing them out to everyone. Zach and Michael took some for their head pain, Xander was a bit sore from his fight and took some to relieve that.
"Hey now that I'm thinking about it, Brett wasn't anywhere around during our come back. Where is he?" Xander asked.
"Oh no I hope he didn't attack anyone while we were busy with being Ka-Ching." Tobias said sounding worried. Suddenly they heard the door to the headquarters open up as Brett came walking down the steps and looking at everyone confused.
"Hey guys I have a question. Can someone explain to me why after our fight with Ka-Ching, that I showed up to my job on my hands and knees begging to work a 24-hour shift today?" He said as everyone just stared at him.
"Wait what?" Michael asked.
"Don't you hate your job?" Tobias asked.
"Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. I just had this weird voice in my head demanding that I get money and the first thing I did was go up to my job and beg for 24 hours of overtime." Brett said confused.
"Oh, come on! Why is it that he was not affected like we were?!" Zach said irritated.
"What happened to you guys?" Brett asked back.
"We tried killing each other over money." Tobias replied.
"Oh, I know why, I think. You guys don't have a lot of self-control. You guy's deep down are needy for money. Ka-Ching's influence only brought that to the fore front of your minds and corrupted it causing you guys to selfishly act out. I probably handled it better because I have a very strong mental discipline with my mind. So, when I was being influenced I decided the best way to handle it was to go ask my job for more hours. It seems like that power of his put's you guys in an overwhelming bind that isn't there and forces you guys to make you act out on it. Which in turn caused you guys to fight each other, you couldn't think clearly with that voice and you guys succumbed to it." He explained.
All of the Rangers kept their heads to the ground, "That doesn't really make us feel better." They all said.
"Look you guys had a rough day. Tobias, you need to get to work I think you're late." Brett said. Tobias looked at the clock and realized he was 30 minutes late.
"DAMN! Kalyn is going to really give me hell." He said as he began running to the steps but was stopped by Brett.
"I already called her and told her that you were going to be late. Your alibi is I was in the hospital and I needed you to run an errand for me. She was totally fine with it. But be careful nonetheless. I know a crooked lie when I hear it." Brett said as he patted the back of his shoulder.
Tobias sped out of the building as the rest explained to Brett how Xander was the hero for them all. The Power Rangers all went out to lunch to celebrate Xander's big achievement, and the one that he's been struggling to overcome for a long time.
