Michiko stared at the small house, well it was in her choice of words small because she grew up living in a palace. "I wish this place was still standing, in my time."
"Still?" Nicole asked her future daughter as they settled everything down in the once playroom, Michiko would be staying here until her training was complete,
"I meant, I wish I grew up here, I live in the Crystal Palace with you, Dad, Queen-Aunt Serenity, Uncle-King Endymion and Rini," Michiko replied, "There is a lot of changes the world made in my time,"
"I understand, but why your mother chose this time to send you back to, I will never know," Nikki replied,
Michiko turned to look at her future mother, "If I had to guess what was going on in your head at the time, it is because of Trini, she knows the days of her Ranger-Related past rather well, seeing as We're immortal and all that,"
"She sent you back to the time, she was first a mother instead of a teenager or when I was in college," Nicole guessed,
"Maybe you will figure out the meaning behind everything, someday. I heard Dad say that you were thinking about having another child?" Michiko's tone suggested she knew something was going to happen very soon,
"I'm not pregnant, am I?" Nicole asked.
"No, course not. I was thinking about you and dad adopting a child, a son to be more exact." Michiko laughed, "I grew up thinking some of the Rangers that you mentored or mentoring are my family."
The following day after school, Ethan and Michiko was in Haley's Cybercafe. Trent was working bussing tables, Michiko watched in amazement as Ethan was playing a video game,
"Just give me the code, you freakzoid wizard!" Ethan exclaimed,
Michiko giggled at Ethan, When Ethan stood up in anger at the game, he backed into Trent, who was carrying a tray of drinks, knocking him over and the drinks on the floor,
"Sorry I was distracted," Ethan apologized,
"Its Okay, by the way its a game, they can't hear you," Trent replied.
Haley walked over, "Everything okay, Ethan?"
Ethan was back into video game land, so Haley poked him and he jump startled,
"Wizard Wood," Haley sighed,
"First gamer to conquer the entire magical world and crack the secret code wins the right to test the next game in the series, How crazy is that?" Ethan asks,
"Yeah, I read about it, well if anyone can do it." Haley replies,
"I'm on the last level," Ethan states, Michiko lost interest when the blue dino ranger started talking about some wizard named Beldorf on the monitor.
"Ethan, we have training with Dr. O, and the others," Michiko states but Ethan wasn't listening, then she left the Cafe,
Michiko ducked into an alley and looked around, making sure no one could see her, she flicked her wrists and summoned her morpher, "Crystal Force, Power Up"
"Michiko, I have something special for you," the voice of her mother spoke though the helmet, "Call on the Crystal Force Rider,"
"Right," Michiko agrees, "Crystal Force Rider!"
A white motorcycle came out of the time stream and Michiko hopped on, and rode off,
She rode until she reached a clearing, where Conner and Kira and Dr. O were at,
"So where's Ethan?" Dr. O asks,
"Oh this is training day?" Michiko asks, after she demorphed, "I should have grabbed him from the Cybercafé, Sorry, Dr. O."
"So what's the big deal any way, it's just practice?" Conner asks,
"Training is just as important as the real deal, you'll never know when you will be attack," Dr. O replies, then something kicked him in the back, into Conner and Kira, he turned around and saw T-Drones and Zeltrax, "Well, couldn't have planned that better,"
"Attack!" Zeltrax orders,
The Rangers and Mesogog's minions began fighting each other,
Michiko was having trouble, since she didn't have Dino Powers, when a pink time cloud appeared and out popped her Selene Sphere, she smirked and grabbed it,
"Let's play catch," Michiko states as she threw the ball at the T-drones she was fighting,
they were each kicked back to their bikes,
"How do you feel about a ride in the country?" Kira asks,
"Great day for it," Conner replies,
Tommy nods at them, and each Ranger flicks to activate their morphers,
"Dino Thunder,"
"Crystal Force,"
"Power Up!"
"Lasers," Conner states as he shoots lasers at the T-drones,
"Crescent Moon lasers " Michiko states as her bike shot out crescent moons lasers at her group of T-drones, "Sweet, I like this bike,"
Zeltrax retreated, as the rangers pulled up,
"That was seriously random," Conner states,
"Probably a diversion, you guys get Ethan, meet me at the lab," Tommy replies,
"Sure," Michiko agrees
"Right," Conner seconds,
"You got it," Kira replies,
~~~~Haley's Cyberspace~~~
"Think he's still here?" Conner asks as the three teens were walking up to to Cafe,
"It's Ethan, anything with that stupid Wizard Wood game on it, he's still there," Michiko replies,
"Let's find out," Kira states,
The three teens heard laughter behind them, and when they turned around one of Mesogog's monsters was standing there,
"Oh great," Conner states,
"If you're looking for your friend, you're too late. Unless you want to join him?" the monster of the day informs.
The three ran to and began fighting him unmorphed.
"Dr. O, we found one of Mesogog's buddies, but no Ethan." Conner reports
"I'm getting a reading on him, keep looking until I can pinpoint the signal." Tommy replies,
the mutant shot energy ring blast at the three teens, as they had to cartwheel out of the way,
"Easy for him to say," Conner complains.
The three teens hid behind a crate, as the creature kept shooting blasts at them,
"Now would be a really good time to find Ethan," Conner states,
"See if you can draw his fire, I'll check inside." Kira replies
"Check fast, I don't know how long we can hold him off," Conner states,
Kira ran into the Cafe, while Michiko and Conner dive to the side and draw the creature's attention away.
~~~Inside~~~
Kira went inside but Ethan wasn't there, his backpack and a weird gadget sitting by the computer,
"Ethan?" Kira asks she found the gadget "What's this?" she jump back when the thing started to smoke and spark, a blue mist like substance surrounded her and she pulled into the computer.
She fell onto the ground right beside Ethan,
"Huh?" Kira asks as she look around confused.
"Welcome to my world," Ethan states.
"I don't suppose you know how to get out of here?" Kira asks
"I don't even know how I got in," Ethan replies, they look up as these strange black and white creatures show up and attack them, they regrouped after fighting them off,
"Have you tried to morph?" Kira asks
"What would that do?" Ethan asks
"Keep us alive long enough to figure a way out," Kira replies,
Ethan glances at her, "Good enough for me, Ready?"
"Ready,"
"Dino Thunder, Power Up Ha!"
The colorful heroes began fighting off the creatures.
Meanwhile back in the real world, the two red colored rangers weren't having a very good time fighting Mesogog's goon,
Conner was thrown backwards into some bikes, Michiko backflipped over to him, "You okay?"
"Yeah," Conner replies,
"You're no match for me," the monster states,
"I'm so over you," Conner replies,
"Same with me," Michiko agrees,
They were about to morph when the monster fired an energy blast them, causing them to fly into the Cafe.
Conner and Michiko hits the wall and Ethan's gadget which sparks again,
"What the?" the two rangers asks as they turned around and saw Kira, Ethan fighting weird creatures.
"Don't ask," Kira replies
Ethan threw one of the creatures, he was fighting over counter, where it crashed into chairs. "Oh man, Haley's seriously going to lose it."
"Conner, Michiko, morph and meet us outside." Kira states.
"Gladly," Michiko and Conner replies,
They morph and went outside. Where Michiko and Conner began fighting Mesogog's goon again
"I'm out of here!" the creature states then disappears through a invisportal.
"Good riddance." Conner states, "We got to check out that game."
once inside the gadget sparked again,
"It's doing it again," Ethan states,
"What's going on?" Michiko asks
"I kinda don't know where to start," Ethan replies,
"The truth is always best told from thy heart,"
The Rangers turned to look and see the character from the game that Ethan was playing leaning against the corner.
"Ethan, I'm taking away your computer privileges," Michiko states, as she looked at the wizard "Let's go back to the lab and see if Haley can fix your mess."
~~~Dino Lab~~~~
"I'll see if I can gain access by linking it to our main power supply," Haley states as she begins typing on the computer,
Tommy turns around his chair, "So let me get this straight; you were so caught up in a video game that you let a monster sneak up behind you?"
"It's pretty tight game, Dr. O." Ethan replies,
"You have to keep your head in this game at all times," Tommy states, "I know it can be hard, I know it can be real really dangerous too,"
Nicole pressed her lips tight together as she saw the purple spell casted by Beldorf which took away Tommy's mouth,
the three others looked at each other, when Tommy was still lecturing both it sounded like mumblings,
"Beldorf," Ethan scolds, "Give him, his mouth back."
"Can it wait til after mid-terms?" Conner asks
"Beldorf," Ethan states again
"Kill joy," Beldorf replies, before flicking his wand and giving Tommy, his mouth back.
"Okay, let's not do that again." Tommy finishes.
"I'm really sorry, Dr O." Ethan apologizes like nothing happened.
"I know you are, Ethan" Tommy replies,
"I definitely learned my lesson," Ethan states,
Haley turns around, "You know this might not be total loss,"
"What do you mean?" Tommy asks turning to her,
"That creature's energy left a residual power pulse, if I recalibrate the settings I might be able to use this thing to send Beldorf back." Haley answers,
"You mean, I did something right?" Ethan asks
"You may have gotten lucky," Tommy replies waving his finger at Ethan.
"Not that lucky, You're still not touching a computer or anything electronic without supervision." Nicole states, "Right now I think we should deal with that creature on the loose."
"Kira, check the monitors and see if you can find him," Tommy states
"Right," Kira replies, she gets up.
A few minutes later, Kira came back.
"Looks like Mr. Magnetic personality is back," Kira informed
"Okay, you stay put until we can figure out how to send you back," Tommy told Beldorf before looking at Ethan, Kira and Nicole, "You three keep an eye on him, Conner, Michiko, you come with me,"
Conner and Michiko nod and jogged away from the group,
"Ready?" Tommy asks
"Ready,"
"Dino Thunder, Power Up Ha!"
"Crystal Force, Power Up!"
~~~~City's electric plant~~~
"This will be down the entire grid," the creature states to himself.
"Hey, not so fast," Conner states as he, Michiko, and Tommy arrive.
The three of them attack with the Thundermax and the Brachio staff respectfully. Conner looks over at Tommy, "Let's double team him,"
"Good idea," Tommy replies, he attacks first but was thrown back.
"You okay?" Conner asks
"Yeah, He's quicker then I thought," Tommy replies,
Ethan, Kira, and Nicole appeared from the sky as they got a ride from Ptera zord,
"You're the best," Kira told her zord.
The monster shoots another energy blast at them, and they had to dive out of the way,
"Tyranno Staff"
"Ptera Grips,"
"Tricera Shield."
They attacked with their personal weapons,
"Let's put them together," the three rangers stated and formed the Z-Rex blaster and destroyed the monster, only to have Mesogog make it huge.
"I'm back!" the huge creature states
"I'll handle this joker," Tommy states leaping up and attacking, only to be swatted down like a fly.
"Tommy!"
"Dr. O!"
"Haley, we need some back up," Tommy states into his morpher. The Brachiozord arrived and out ran the other Biozords.
The rangers leapt into their zords and formed Thundersaurus Megazord.
The Megazord punched the monster,
"Try and keep up," the monster states tunneling under the street,
"Whoa, where did he go?" Conner asks
but the creature was to fast, the Rangers destroyed him by firing the Tyranno tail at him.
~~~~Haley's Cyberspace~~~~~~
"I presume you are still looking for the secret code?" Beldorf asks Ethan
"Yeah, but I'll think I work on getting it the old fashion way," Ethan replies, he places the wizard in front of the computer, "One key at a time,"
"Good answer, tis the right one" Beldorf replies,
"Okay, Beldorf, it's time," Haley states, as she turns on the gadget and the wizard was sucked back into his world.
Then Devin and Cassidy came out.
"Wow, great entrance." Ethan states.
Cassidy started complaining about how bad she smelled and how she didn't want to be a queen anymore.
Conner, Trent, and Michiko walked in.
"So what's the deal, did you get the secret code and win the game?" Trent asks
"Not exactly, better get me a tall smoothie, it's going to be a long day," Ethan answers,
The gang laughed at Ethan's joke.
