A/N: Here's chapter twelve of the Overdrive Green Story. Updates are going to be a little slower now because Faith has to finish her Dino Thunder series and the Mystic Force story before I get to my Once A Ranger story. But in the meantime I will continue posting this as long as I can.

I've updated my profile with the Kaylee information. It now has a basic summery for upcoming stories, and all the OCs included. Check it out if your interested, but I will not be answering any questions that involve the plot of those stories (such as But I thought... or But that didn't happen...).

Anyways, read and review!

Mack looked over to Tyzonn.

"Think you're well enough to fight?" he asked.

"These creeps?" Tyzonn smiled, waving them off dismissively. "Watch me."

The lizards charge, and Tyzonn ran to meet them, knocking several of them over with swings of his staff and kicking the others.

Mack and Kaylee smiled before each grabbing a lizard and flipping it. They joined Tyzonn in the middle of the group, taking out the rest of the foot soldiers.

"This is how you kick monster ass!" Kaylee cheered, high fiving Mack and Tyzonn, shaking off the pain after touching the latter. "Oh, uh, no offence, Tyzonn."

"None taken," Tyzonn smiled. He then noticed a monster getting up behind Kaylee. He puts his hand on her shoulder before the two turn into liquid mercury. Mack's eyes widened for a few seconds as the Lava Lizard jumped through them He quickly snapped back, in time to kick the lizard to the ground, knocking it out.

Tyzonn pulled his hand off Kaylee and smiled.

"Nice to know not everything's changed.

"Okay, I don't know what the hell you just did," Kaylee giggled, patting herself down to make sure she was all there. "But it was totally awesome! Can we do it again?"

"So, you can turn into silver?" Mack asked.

"Mercury," Tyzonn corrected him.

"I see, so you come from a reptilian race, that can liquidize into mercury at will? Makes sense."

"I'M NOT A REPTILE!" Tyzonn yelled, a little harshly.

"Good," Kaylee smiled. "Cause I think Karly eats lizards. She brought a dead one home today and it was missing a limb."

"Listen, if we're going to trust you, I need to know the whole story," Mack told the alien. He switched off his tracker, and Kaylee did the same. "You have our full attention."

"As long as you don't take too long," Kaylee warned him. "My attention span isn't that long. And once you pass it, a clump of dirt can be more interesting than anything."

"You're marrying a clump of dirt," Mack reminded her.

"OH! True! Okay, so horrible example, but you get it, right?" Kaylee asked the alien. He nodded.

"I don't even know where to start, though," he frowned.

"How about, with this?" Mack asked, pulling out a tiny crystal from his pocket.

"Where did you get that?" Tyzonn asked, reaching out for the little piece.

"I found it on the ground in England," Mack smiled. "You must have broken it off of something special."

"This is the only thing I brought with me from my home planet," Tyzonn explained.

"So, if you're not here for the jewels of the corona, why are you here?" Kaylee asked.

"I came here in search of something more important to me that any jewel... but my search was cut short..."

"Mercurian!" Moltor called, stepping in front of a human Tyzonn, blocking his path. "Your people's power is known throughout the galaxy. I can use a soldier like you in my army."

"I'm not here to be in any army," Tyzonn frowned. "Now, let me pass."

"You dare to refuse me, Moltor?" Moltor asked.

"That name means nothing to me!" Tyzonn said. "Now, get out of my way."

Moltor growled as he swung his sword, sending an energy blast at Tyzonn.

"After that, Moltor turned me into what you see before you," Tyzonn explained. "An ugly monster. I had no choice. I knew the beast I had become would be shunned on your planet. And now that I've betrayed Moltor, I'm doomed to live in this body forever."

"Hey, we got a state-of-the-art- technology center. Maybe we, the other Rangers included, can help you," Mack suggested, looking over at Kaylee, who nodded.

"Your friends don't trust me," Tyzonn sighed. "Why should they?"

"Because," Kaylee smiled, grabbing Tyzonn's hand as she knelt down in front of him. "We do."

"Okay," Tyzonn smiled, squeezing her hand.

"But one thing," Kaylee said. "You still haven't told us why you're here."

Tyzonn sighed, and the look on his face told the two Rangers that the memories still haunted him.

"Mack, earlier you said a word to Kaylee... what was it?"

"I say a lot to Kaylee," Mack laughed. "You'd have to be more specific."

"When she was talking about the dirt."

"Marrying?" Mack asked.

"Yeah, that!" Tyzonn smiled. "Marriage... when a man and a woman love each other enough to become one, right?"

"I guess so," Kaylee frowned. "If that's what you want to call it. But here on earth, it's called sex."

Mack held back a laugh, playfully slapping Kaylee on the back of the head. She looked up at him and frowned.

"What, when the parts fit, you put them together to become one! Marriage is kinda like... opening the box to the puzzle that is sex... well for a lot of people. Other people kinda rip open a hundred piece puzzle, when they're only ready for the twenty piece... or less. That's called teenage pregnancy..."

"Kayl," Mack cut her off. "Shh."

"Right..."

"This marriage thing... I had it, with a woman back home. We were going to get married soon... but I lost her in..."

"Tyzonn," Kaylee smiled, hugging him. "I can see how much it hurts. You don't have to tell me, if you don't want. All I really wanted to know... was if you were willing to earn our trust."

"Thank you, Kaylee," Tyzonn said. "Her name was Vella."

Kaylee nodded, pulling away from the hug and rubbing her chest. It still hurt to touch him, but it helped him feel more comfortable around her and Mack.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

"You live here?" Tyzonn asked, walking down the stairs to the Ranger Base. He had seen a few rooms in the house and couldn't believe the size. "On my home planet, we live in outside, with nature."

"Well, humans aren't that... outdoorsy," Mack laughed.

"Yeah, we prefer air conditioning and video games," Kaylee added. "Half the population today could pass as vampires."

Mack and Kaylee walked into the base first, holding the parchment.

"See, I told you they would be back," Dax smiled, hugging Kaylee and shaking hands in a brotherly manner with Mack.

That's when he saw the monster behind the two.

"Whoa!" Will frowned, reaching for his tracker, like the rest of his team. "How did he get in here?"

"We let him in," Kaylee laughed, looking at her friend as if they asked a stupid questions. "Duh."

"He's a friend," Mack assured the others.

"I'm sorry about what happened before," Tyzonn apologized, walking up to Ronny and offering his hand. "Please forgive me. I never meant to hurt anyone."

Spencer walked in at that moment, watching as Ronny looked at Tyzonn's hand.

"Guys," Mack said, noticing their scared looks. "He's going to help us find the diamond! He gave us his piece of the map!"

"You did?" Ronny asked, looking up from Tyzonns hand, to his eyes. Tyzonn nodded and Ronny's face softened from defensive, to apologetic. "Well..."

She took his hand and smiled.

"Thanks," she said.

"So, nobody thought to tell me we were expecting a visitor?" Spencer spoke up, seeing as the alien was safe.

"This is Tyzonn," Ronny smiled, introducing the newest ally to the old butler. Spencer nodded, then turned around to get some refreshments.

Rose laid out the whole parchment on the table, ready to explain to Tyzonn what they had found out.

"Okay, we think we translated a couple of these symbols: Mountain and diamond."

"So, we know we're looking for the Toru Diamond," Mack finished, walking up to his girlfriend and wrapping his arms around her waist. Rose blushed slightly, but didn't object.

"But we don't know what mountain," Will sighed. "It could be anywhere on earth!"

Spencer walked back in with a tray, carrying several glasses of lemonade. He offered the first one to Tyzonn.

"It's made from lemons," Kaylee explained, seeing the lost look on the alien's face. "A yellow fruit grown on earth. It's kinda acidy, until Spencer adds the sugar..."

Kaylee looked over at the bulter suspiciously and frowned.

"You remembered the sugar, right?" she asked.

"Of course," Spencer smiled.

"I know of this acid!" Tyzonn smiled, grabbing a glass. Then, to everyone's surprise, he tossed the liquid on the parchment.

"DUDE!" the Rangers frowned. "Not cool, totally not cool."

"Wait..." Kaylee frowned, picking up the parchment and wiping the lemonade off, revealing co-ordinates.

69.3S, 175.6E

"Numbers!" Rose smiled. "And it looks like longitude and latitude."

"Oh no," Kaylee groaned. "I get enough dude-speak from Dustin."

"I think it's the location of the mountain," Ronny whispered to Kaylee.

"True... geography class..." Kaylee laughed nervously. "Right... I'm go curl up and die."

"Okay, Rangers," Andrew smiled, tossing Ronny the keys to the SHARC. "The SHARC is fuelled up and ready to go."

"Duh," Ronny laughed. "I prepped it yesterday."

"Wait!" Tyzonn called as the Rangers ran for the garage. "Take me with you. Maybe I can be of some use."

"I think there's room for one more," Mack smiled.

"Good idea!" Kaylee smiled, picking up her cat. "C'mon Karly!"

Tyzonn seemed a little upset by this, but Ronny patted his shoulder.

"She's just teasing," she assured him "She does that... a lot... to her friends."

Ronny ran off ahead of Tyzonn, leaving him to think as he followed the ground.

Friend.

-----Operation-Overdrive------

The Rangers arrived at the summit of a volcano, looking down in the hole leading tothe surface of a lake of lava.

"Let's find the diamond and get out," Mack ordered. He and the others stepped forward before Bullox stepped in their way.

"We meet again, Tyzonn," he said.

"It looks like the diamond's going to have to wait," Will groaned.

"No," Kaylee frowned. "Rangers, you distract Bullox, destroy him if you have to. Tyzonn and I will get the jewel."

"You heard her," Mack called. "Let's go rangers!"

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

Kaylee and Tyzonn jumped down on a ledge, inside the volcano. Tyzonn seemed to be immune to the heat, but Kaylee was slowly wearing down.

"Are you okay, Kaylee?" Tyzonn asked, kneeling beside her and putting a hand on her back.

"Yeah, thank God Spencer gave me these inner healing powers," Kaylee smiled. "That way if I get burned, I'll heal up, sorta... kinda."

"I think I should go down," Tyzonn smiled. "These scales can handle the heat better than human skin."

"Okay," Kaylee nodded, giving Tyzonn a rope. She tied one end to a rock and tied the other around Tyzonn's waist. "I think I saw the jewel right below us."

Tyzonn nodded, climbing down the inside of the volcano while Kaylee kept look-out. She heard a loud boom from teh battle field and smiled as she imagine Mack using his sonic streaker.

"Maybe now he'll stop talking about it," she said to herself.

"I got it!" Tyzonn called, looking up at Kaylee. She nodded and began pulling on the rope, helping him up.

"Thank God those are light scales," she said as she pulled with all her strength. She had to tap into her ninja powers though. Her small size was no helping her at this point. When Tyzonn was safely on teh ledge, Kaylee put her hand on his shoulder.

ZWOP!

Tyzonn appeared beside Bullox, while Kaylee was nowhere in sight.

"Give me that diamond!" the monster yelled once he saw the Toru diamond in Tyzonn's hand.

"No!" Tyzonn yelled, throwing it to Mack and readying himself for battle. Suddenly, Bullox stopped and bent over, looking like he was about to throw up.

"What's happening to me?" he asked, clutching his stomach.

Then, he exploded, and Kaylee stood where he once was.

Her friends looked at her, worried something had happened. Kaylee stood there, shocked. She looked at Tyzonn, then the Rangers as a smile appeared on her face.

"DUDE!" she exclaimed. "I totally didn't know he was standing there! HE BOOMED!"

When the Rangers heard her excitement, they figured she was okay, and smiled.

"Did you zwop up inside him?" Ronny asked.

"Yahuh," Kaylee nodded. "And he boomed!"

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

Back at the base, Tyzonn handed the jewel to Andrew, who placed it in a drawer in the command center.

"Thank you, Tyzonn," he smiled.

"I was happy to help," Tyzonn answered.

"Now there are two jewels that won't fall into the wrong hands." Hartford said, turning to the Rangers. "I'm proud of you."

"That means so much," Kaylee replied sarcastically, smirking as she looked at her mentor.

"Do you mind?" Tyzonn asked, looking down at the two jewels in teh drawer. "I've always loved the stories of the Corona."

Tyzonn touched both of the jewels as a yellow light surrounded him. Slowly, his scales disappeared, and Tyzonn was returned back to normal.

"Wow..." the Rangers said in awe.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

Once upstairs, the Rangers were saying their goodbyes to Tyzonn.

"This has been an incredible experience," Tyzonn smiled, shaking hands with each of the Rangers. "and I thank you for your help, but now I must go."

Kaylee and Mack nodded, knowing his story, but the other Ranger didn't understand.

"But, we still have three more jewels!" Hartford frowned. "Why don't you stay and work with us?"

"I can't," Tyzonn sighed. "Just as you have your mission, I have my own."

Tyzonn turned to leave, but Mack stopped him, pulling something out of his pocket.

"I almost forgot this," he said.

When Mack opened his hand, Tyzonn saw his crystal, completely restored and no longer like it was when Mack had first revealed he had it.

"My crystal!" Tyzonn smiled, grabbing it.

"Yeah, told you we were high-tech, huh?"

"Oh yes," Spencer said as he walked by. "Behold the technological marvel known as 'glue'."

The Rangers laughed, and so did Tyzonn.

"All the same," the alien smiled. "Thanks for your help, Mack and Kaylee. Goodbye."
