Feeling lousy from a stomach bug, but finally getting over my writers block/hesitation by yet again reworking a lot of Dino Charge. I need to stop. But anyway, thought I'd update!
Hope you like it!
Chapter 9: Double Ranger, Double Danger
As the sun shone in the sky above, Riley and Shelby worked on setting up the E-Tracer, the others took it easy and enjoyed the nice weather. Koda sat in a tree, looking over the forest, while Tyler sat at the base of it, writing in his dad's notebook. Chase sat on a rock, picking petals from a daisy, and Teddie was playing her guitar, humming lightly as Arianna and Olivia played fetch with Nerida.
"This Dino Charger has been created to detect energy from the Gold Energem, or the Ptera Zord," Shelby told him as she held out the newest Charger. "Hopefully the E-Tracer will detect one of them," Shelby activated the machine and inserted the Gold Dino Charger.
'Please hear me out, I need to get this off my chest
And tell you you're the reason why
I'm gonna live believing in all you've shown me
Some may say they're a lie
But no I'll never need proof I,
Don't even care if they're real,' Teddie sang as she played, before stopping to scribble something in her notebook. 'I've never known that kind of love
'Cause no one's shown me how to open up my heart
Without the fear it'd break and fall apart
The more I ask.. The more I fear the truth will hold me back and I'll regret it
But with you that feeling's gone and for you I'll have the strength to soldier on,' she continued, before sighing and scratching something out. Teddie then repeated the last few lines in a different key, and wrote again. As she made notes, Teddie suddenly paused, looking up.
"Teddie?" Arianna and Olivia looked around, hearing the music stop. Koda suddenly leapt from the tree he had been sitting in, and landed beside Tyler, who jerked.
"Koda..." the boy groaned. "I asked you to stop doing that," he complained, but couldn't help but laugh.
"Tyler, you smell," Tyler frowned at Koda's words, and sniffed under his shirt.
"I do?" he asked, not smelling it.
"He doesn't mean that," Teddie was on her feet, setting her guitar down. She nudged her brother, who looked up from his flower-picking. Chase went to speak, before sensing it too and looking around, lifting his blaster.
"The air. Smell," Koda clarified. Tyler got to his feet, and his Dino Comm beeped.
'Alien Bio-Signs in your area,' Kendall warned him as he answered.
"Hey, shut down the E-Tracer," Tyler told Shelby and Riley, who quickly did what he said. "We need to get out of here now," they began packing up, knowing how dangerous a situation they were in. If their enemies got hold of the
"Careful, that's irreplaceable," Shelby warned when Tyler lifted the E-Tracer.
"Start the jeep, we're right behind you. We'll keep watch while you load up," Riley said. Tyler nodded and hurried off with the machine, vanishing.
"Where are they?" Teddie murmured, her own blaster drawn as she scanned their surroundings, but she couldn't get a lock on anything.
"Since when do they hide? What are they waiting for?" Riley wondered as they looked around.
"Koda?" Chase glanced at the caveman, who was sniffing the air. "Can you smell any getting closer?" he asked, but the Blue Ranger shook his head. He inhaled again.
"No...they..." Koda frowned. "They leave," the others frowned as they looked at him. Teddie and Chase glanced to each other, unable to deny that the caveman may be right.
"Maybe they didn't see us?" Olivia suggested.
"Yeah, or maybe Ms. Morgan picked up Arianna's signature by mistake?" Shelby tried, glancing to Arianna, who was attaching Nerida's leash to her neck.
"That doesn't explain Koda smelling someone bad," Riley pointed out with a shake of his head.
"Come on, Tyler should have the E-Tracer packed away by now," Teddie told the others, and they hurried back to the clearing where Tyler had parked his jeep. As they reached it, however, they slowed to a stop.
"Uh, this was where Tyler parked, right?" Riley frowned, confused. "We didn't go to the wrong place?" he looked around as if expecting to see the jeep in a different place.
"No, this was definitely it," Teddie frowned, approaching the area where she remembered them parking. She crouched, her eyes scanning the ground. "Call Tyler, see where he is," Teddie told the others, seeing multiple sets of footprints in the grass. She wasn't sure if they were theirs from earlier, or if Tyler hadn't been alone when he'd left.
"Is that supposed to be funny?" Shelby asked when Tyler answered his Dino-Comm.
'Shelby?' Tyler frowned, confused to see her.
"You just took off and left us," Shelby complained.
'What? I'm looking right...' Tyler glanced away, and turned pale. He looked back at his comm, and away again. 'At you...' the communication suddenly cut off.
"Tyler?" Shelby tried again, but there was no answer.
"We better get back to the base, find out where Tyler went," Chase told the others, who nodded.
"You find Tyler?" Koda asked hopefully as they returned to the museum. Kendall, Keeper and Ari were searching for Tyler on the computer systems as the Rangers let their Energems fly off.
"No, he still isn't responding," Kendall shook her head, worried for the Red Ranger too.
"Even the tracking software hasn't picked him up, he must be out of range," Ari shook her head. "We also have a scan going of the city for alien DNA," she added, glancing to the computer beside her that was scanning the city.
"When I talked to him, Tyler thought he was with us. Whoever he was with, they were fooling him," Shelby spoke up, her own worry evident. Ari folded her arms, deep in thought.
"What is it Ari?" Keeper noticed her actions.
"Another clone story? Maybe, there was alien DNA picked up nearby before it just took off," she commented softly, more to herself than the others.
"Another? This has happened before?" Riley asked, confused. Ari glanced up at him as if remembering they were there.
"Sure. Happens more often than you'd realise," she shrugged.
"It happened with the Overdrive team?" Olivia asked, remembering that she was part of that team. It was still odd to think that the woman had been a Ranger like them. Before Ari could respond, the computer beeped loudly.
"Alien bio-signs detected in the city complex," she reported quickly.
"Then...that's where we go," Koda said to the others, looking anxious. "Yes?" he asked, uncertain when nobody else responded.
"Maybe we should split up," Shelby suggested. "I could go back to the woods and retrace our steps, see if I can find Tyler," the Pink Ranger decided, turning to hurry off.
"Yeah, I'll go with you," Riley nodded.
"No, Kendall, Ari and I will continue to search for Tyler. You must work together to find the E-Tracer, before Sledge can locate the Gold Energem," Keeper told them. Shelby went to protest, but Ari walked over and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'll head out there and take a look. I'm a good finder, don't worry," she smiled at the girl, who looked up with worried eyes. "The E-Tracer is important, and like Keeper said, we can't risk it giving Sledge a massive advantage over us," Ari told her.
"You're right," Shelby nodded. "We need to work as a team. Let's get moving," she told the others, and they followed her out. Ari headed out after them, leaving Arianna and Nerida with Kendall and Keeper. As the Rangers hurried into town, she looked in the direction that led to the forest. She leaned forwards a little, as if ready to break into a sprint, and took off, letting her Ninja powers kick in. She streaked towards the forest, where Tyler had last been seen.
Reaching the trees, Ari slowed to a stop, and looked around. The wind rustled the trees gently, while pushing her hair from her face. She walked towards the area where Tyler's jeep had been before he'd vanished, and crouched.
"Who'd have thought I'd still be doing this even now?" she wondered, starting to walk as she followed the tracks onto the road. "I just hope he hasn't disappeared like Mack, I don't particularly want to face Rose with that kind of information, she'd kill me," Ari mused, before spotting Tyler's jeep in the distance.
Jogging towards it, she sighed, seeing the case that had held the E-Tracer was empty; the lock destroyed. Scanning her surroundings, Ari spotted traces of a fight. "Vivix...a monster, or two..." Ari murmured, trying to figure out what had happened as she crouched by a scorch mark on the ground. "Tyler would have been thrown..." she turned, and spotted a figure lying in the long grass. "Tyler!" she called, jumping the fence and running to his side. "Hey, no time for a nap," she knelt beside him, starting to glow.
"...dad..." Tyler murmured as Ari healed the burns across his stomach. She stopped glowing right before his eyes flew open, and he sat up. "No! The E-Tracer!" he groaned, and Ari caught him as he flinched.
"Easy dude, you took a hard hit," she soothed.
"Ari? What are you doing here?" Tyler asked, looking up at her.
"Came here to find you after you went off the grid," she explained, helping him to his feet. "The others are in town tracking down the E-Tracer, you need to join them," Ari told the Red Ranger.
"Oh? Your little device has been stolen?" they looked around sharply to see Fury approach. "So that's Poisandra's plan, huh..." the feline-like alien growled thoughtfully. "Then I'll need something else impressive for Sledge," he decided, his golden eyes on Tyler.
"Tyler, go join the others," Ari told the boy, pushing him away.
"What? But Fury-"
"I can handle Fury, now go! The others need you, we can't let the E-Tracer fall into their hands," Ari ordered, but Tyler continued to hesitate. "Look Tyler, I can handle myself against Fury, you know that. Go," she told him, softer this time. Tyler clenched his fists, knowing that his team needed him. Finally, he turned, running off as he called on his Dino Cycle and Morphed.
"We meet again," Fury commented, ignoring Tyler as he drew his sword.
"It has been a while. Since I last kicked your butt when you attacked Kendall, right?" Ari smiled pleasantly at him, but her entire body was tense. Fury growled.
"It won't go that way again, witch!" he vowed, rushing her. Ari threw her hands up, clipping him in the face with two well-aimed energy balls. As he stumbled back, Ari's boot collided with his face, shoving Fury to the ground. Ari grabbed the front of her jacket and pulled, yanking her civilian gear off to reveal her Ninja Gear. "Who are you?" Fury snarled as he got to his feet.
"That'd be telling," Ari fell into a fighting stance. She had no intention of drawing the fight out. She only wanted to buy time for Tyler to get away and help his team. Fury roared, rushing her again, but Ari dodged and kicked his side, before landing a punch to his gut. As he doubled over, her elbow slammed into his face, and he stumbled back, dropping his sword.
"You're no ordinary human, and those powers..." Fury growled, a hand to his face as blood ran from his nose. "You're related to those pesky Black and White Rangers!" he realised.
"You mean you didn't figure it out earlier?" Ari tilted her head. "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, after all, you spent millions of years on this planet, and couldn't even find one Energem!" she taunted, making him snarl in rage. Now she was starting to remind him of Poisandra.
"You'll regret that!" he pulled up his sword and ran at her, swinging down. Ari leapt back to dodge it, and hummed.
"I guess that'll be enough time for Tyler to reach the others," she considered, and shot in close, jabbing her elbow into Fury's stomach. He choked, doubling over and coughing violently. Ari then took a step back again, and gave a pleasant smile as he looked up. Before he could react, she'd snapped her fingers, and was gone.
The Rangers, minus Tyler, reached town Morphed, looking around for any sign of trouble.
"This is where Kendall said she last detected an alien signal," Shelby commented.
"It's a big area...we need to keep looking," Chase decided.
"Be careful," Koda spoke as they turned in different directions.
"And watch out for anything weird. Remember, Tyler thought he was with us, so watch out," Olivia reminded. They split up, with Teddie going with Chase while Olivia accompanied Koda.
After a while of searching, the Rangers regrouped.
"See anything?" Teddie called as she ran up.
"Nothing," Shelby sighed. "It's crazy, we've searched everywhere," she complained, a hand on her hip. It was frustrating to think that they were so close, but couldn't get any closer.
"Koda, you see anything from the tree?" Olivia asked.
"Just...very angry squirrel..." Koda shivered, glancing back at the tree. A squirrel sat there, still chittering angrily at him. Teddie giggled.
"Uh...isn't that us?" Riley pointed, and they looked around to see themselves running towards them.
"Whoa, I look pretty sweet," Chase laughed.
"Now is so not the time for your ego," Olivia rolled her eyes. Chase ignored her, instead whispering to Teddie.
"What?" she frowned as Shelby gasped. The Pink Ranger put her hands to her mouth in horror.
"Of course! Clone Rangers! That must be how they fooled Tyler!" she realised.
"Well, uh, I guess...fight ourselves?" Olivia suggested, before Vivix suddenly attacked from behind. They began to fight, with Teddie putting her hands together. Green light glowed between them, and she kicked one of the Vivix into another.
"Take this!" Olivia lashed out, only for a kick to catch her in the back and knock her off course. "Hey!" she turned.
"Sorry!" Koda gulped.
"You might look like us," Chase lifted his blaster and tossed it, spinning it and showing off his moves. "But you're not as smart," he grinned, and blasted each of the Vivix, as well as each of the clone Rangers. They all spun through the air, and landed on the ground.
"Uh...Chase? How did you know who was who?" Shelby asked slowly, gulping.
"And please tell me it wasn't a wild guess," Olivia spoke up, dubious.
"I slipped these into your belts," Chase chuckled, indicating to the daisy by his dino comm. Each of the others looked down to see they had one as well.
"What? When?" Riley frowned, not having seen him.
"And where did you get them?" Olivia frowned.
"I'm just that good," Chase shrugged, making both roll their eyes.
"Now, let's show them what real Rangers can do," Koda spoke up as Teddie giggled, spinning another daisy between her gloved fingers.
"Right! Let's finish these imposters! Dino Steel, armour on!" they called on their weapons as silver armour lined their arm.
"You can fake the look..."
"But..."
"You can't..."
"Fake..."
"These skills..."
"Of real Rangers!" the group finished together as they each struck down their clone. The fakes changed back to Vivix as they fell into each other, and collapsed, turning to dust.
"I guess the whole thing about not fighting ourselves didn't apply to that," Teddie giggled, spinning her swords in her hands.
Ari walked back into the base, stretching. The adrenaline of her brief fight with Fury was still humming in her veins. It had been a long time since she'd fought such a powerful enemy. If the fight had persisted, she might have actually had to Morph.
"Tyler just got in touch," Kendall glanced around at her, looking a little confused. "He's on his way to the others, but Fury's gotten in his way," Ari folded her arms.
"Damn, I thought I'd slowed that cat down," she complained. "I'm getting soft," Ari scolded herself.
"How did you get back so fast?" Kendall asked her, looking suspicious. "If you were fighting Fury," she pointed out. Ari gave a small shrug.
"How did Fury already catch up to Tyler?" she challenged. Kendall's frown only grew as Arianna looked from one to the other, concerned. Nerida whined, at her side, sensing the unease as well.
"You will have to give some answers eventually, Ari," the young woman told her, giving in and turning away.
"How are the others doing anyway? Was it a clone story?" Ari didn't respond to Kendall's warning, instead walking over and looking at the computer screen.
"Yes. Vivix made to look like the Rangers," Kendall nodded. "They were defeated as easily as any other Vivix," she told the older woman, who smiled.
"Awesome. Now, let's hope they get the E-Tracer back," she commented, folding her arms.
"All my clones are gone!" Duplicon wailed as he found the Rangers approaching him.
"Yep, nothing left but the originals," Chase told him as they dropped the daisies to the ground.
"Then I'll destroy them!" Duplicon yelled, throwing a blast of orange energy at them.
"Stego-Shield!" Koda blocked the attack, but grunted at the strain as it pushed at him. "Me not...strong enough!" the Caveman realised with a cry.
"Come on Koda, you've got this," Olivia told him confidently. The others nodded, voicing their faith in their friend. He nodded back, smiling slightly through the strain.
"I think...I...break through!" Koda yelled, pushing at the attack. It exploded, leaving the Rangers unharmed, and Duplicon cried out in horror.
"Tricera Drill!"
"Raptor Claw!" Shelby and Riley struck him with their weapons.
"Compo-Blades!"
"Scelido-Spear!" Teddie spun as Olivia jabbed towards, and Duplicon shrieked in pain as their blades raked across his front. The alien staggered back, breathing heavily.
"That's all you've got?!" Dulplicon goaded, despite the smoke rising from his injured torso.
"Try a Para-Chopper Blast!" Chase fired a powerful black shot from his weapon. Duplicon was tossed through the air by the explosion, landing hard on the ground. His yellow armour was scorched, continuing to smoke.
"I need more clone Rangers!" Duplicon grunted from the ground. More Vivix raced in to aid him. "Meet your match!" he pushed himself up and turned to change the Vivix.
"Not so fast!"
"Haven't you heard that you shouldn't turn your back on your enemy?" before he could change the Vivix, he was blasted again by Chase.
"We have to destroy him now, or he'll keep making clones," Shelby warned the others.
"We need the Dino Spike!" Chase told them.
"But it takes all of us," Riley reminded him, gesturing to the team.
"Yeah, and we're kinda still missing someone," Olivia shrugged, worried for their missing leader.
"No time for that!" Duplicon changed his plan and ran at them. Chase grabbed his Dino-Comm as Teddie and Koda ran forwards to meet the alien.
"Tyler, we can't beat this monster without you!" Chase shouted into it when he heard the communication link open. "We've got to use the Dino Spike! Now!" he yelled, and fired another blast at Duplicon.
"We'll just have to hold out until Tyler gets here. Come on guys!" Teddie shouted as she rolled over the alien.
"Right!" Riley nodded, slashing across Duplicon's front. He was then tossed aside by a punch to the stomach, and Olivia landed beside him.
"Tyler, we need you!" Chase tried again, firing another blast.
"We can't take much more of this!" Shelby groaned as she too hit the ground, smarting in pain.
"We've got to, Tyler will make it!" Teddie told them as she pushed herself back up.
"Take this!" Duplicon blasted them off their feet again, and laughed. "So weak without your leader," he taunted them as the smoke cleared. "Let's end this!" he declared, rushing at them.
"Hold on guys!" Tyler raced into view, to their relief.
"Back off, Red!" Duplicon spat.
"You know what to do!" Tyler called to his team as they got to their feet. They looked around at him, grinning. "Dino Charger, ready!" he yelled, activating the Charger. "Weapons combine!" they combined their weapons into the Dino Spike, and launched Tyler into the air to catch it as it flew up. "Dino Spike, Final Strike!" he struck Duplicon with the powerful attack, destroying him. "Copy that!" Tyler called as he landed.
"Tyler!" Shelby smiled, throwing her arms around him in a tight hug.
"Great timing," Chase nodded.
"We...worry," Koda admit.
"No-one splits us up," Riley smiled confidently at them. Tyler nodded with a laugh.
"At least, not for long," Teddie giggled.
"We've got to stop Poisandra from tracking down the Gold Energem, or it's Ptera Zord," Tyler told his team, knowing that there was still a problem at hand.
"There!" Olivia pointed up, spotting the pink eyesore up above with Wrench and Curio.
"Stop her!" Tyler yelled. They raced towards the three, who were working out how to use the E-Tracer. However, before they could stop her, green light shot down from the sky and slammed into the ground.
"I can stop giants now!" Duplicon reappeared, much larger than before. "Vivix, rise!" he yelled.
"Look out!" Koda pulled Tyler out of the way of the squealing Vivix that ran to a clear space, merging together to form a massive monster.
"You Rangers want me? You'll have to go through a giant Fury first!" Duplicon laughed as he changed the monster's form to a familiar one, with glowing golden eyes and long fangs.
"Scatter!" Teddie yelled, and the Rangers dove out of the way of the fake Fury's sword right before it stabbed into the ground where they'd been standing. It was then slammed from the side, knocked away by the roaring Red T-Rex Zord.
"Nice entrance Rexy!" Tyler laughed. "Dino Charger, Ready!" he tossed it into the air as Shelby and Koda summoned their own. The Megazord formed, only to be attacked from both sides. The group cried out, thrown about.
"They're attacking from both sides!" Olivia groaned. The communication link beeped, and Kendall showed up on the screen.
'Activate Dino Charger number 17, it'll release the toxic gases of the dinos,' she told them.
"Did she just say what I think she said?" Shelby giggled.
"Toxic gases?" Riley repeated, unsure.
"You mean...fart gas?" Koda gasped.
'You could call it that,' Kendall rolled her eyes, and two sets of giggling could be heard in the background.
"Man, you think of everything," Chase laughed.
"How can someone even come up with that?" Olivia giggled. Kendall rolled her eyes again.
"Hey, let's try it," Tyler told his team. "Dino Gas Charger, ready!" they turned, and the green gas burst free from their shoulder, hitting both the Fury replica, and Duplicon. Duplicon wailed as the gas blinded him.
"That's one nasty move," Chase couldn't stop himself laughing.
"Smell...very bad," Koda's heightened senses turned on him and he groaned in horror.
"Let's finish it!" Tyler cheered.
"Please, finish faster," Koda begged.
"We need the hammer of the Ankylo Zord to crush these fakes!" Shelby decided, grabbing the Aqua Charger. "Dino Charger, Ready!" she activated it, summoning the light blue Zord. It leapt into view with a roar, and swapped with Koda's Stego Zord.
"Ankylo Zord, Hammer Punch!" the Rangers slammed the hammer onto the fake Fury, returning it to its normal self. "Tricera Drill!" they finished it off, and turned to Duplicon as he gulped. "Ankylo Zord, ha!" they spun, and the hammer struck the alien, making him cry out. "Final Hammer Punch!" he shrieked as he was tossed into the air, exploding.
"Come on, they've almost got the E-Tracer working!" Shelby realised, and they leapt from their Zords in time to see Fury overpower the three aliens. He laughed, mocking them before grabbing it.
"Fury is leaving with E-Tracer!" Koda gulped.
"We can't let him take it," Riley shook his head, knowing just how powerful their enemy would become with the information.
"Chase, you're the only one capable of hitting it from this distance," Tyler turned to the Black Ranger, whose eyes widened before he nodded. Shelby put her hands to her mouth in her horror.
"But my E-Tracer!" she pleaded as Chase activated his Charger, ready to fire.
"Sorry Shelby," Tyler sighed, putting a hand on her arm as she shook her head. She'd put so much work and determination into the machine. "But if Sledge gets it, he could find all the lost Energems," he pointed out. Shelby didn't argue, knowing he was right. She let her head fall forwards, unable to watch it happen. Chase stepped forwards and aimed, and as Fury laughed, delighted at his victory, the blast slammed into it.
"No!" he roared in horror as the machine exploded, tumbling from his hands and smashing against the ground.
"Good job hotshot!" Tyler nodded his approval to the Black Ranger. However, they frowned when they saw Fury crouch beside it, lifting something.
"The Gold Charger!" Teddie realised, seeing the small cylinder in his clawed hand.
"You didn't destroy it all, Rangers! With this, I will control the Ptera Zord!" Fury declared, holding it up in the light for them to stare at. Before they could stop him, Fury disappeared with a laugh that echoed long after he'd gone.
"The E-Tracer may have given Fury the location of the Ptera Zord, and he also got the Ptera Charger," Shelby confessed to Kendall as she set the destroyed machine down on the table. Kendall sighed, before managing a small smile.
"Even if he finds the Zord, that Charger shouldn't have enough power left to activate its battle mode," Kendall soothed her. "And they don't have the technology to charge it," she smiled. Shelby looked up, still looking guilty and heartbroken over losing her machine.
"Besides, unless the Gold Energem is bonded to someone, the Ptera will remain dormant," Ari spoke up, examining the machine. Hearing a thud, they looked around to see Tyler pull his fist back from the table, leaving a small dent.
"I should have known those Rangers were fakes," he muttered. He then gave a small chuckle. "There's nobody like you guys," he smiled at them, and they smiled back.
"The E-Tracer was destroyed, but you worked as a team. If you had not, it would now be in Sledge's hands," Keeper pointed out, and the mood lifted slightly. They may have suffered a loss, but it could have gone far worse.
"Keeper's right," Chase nodded. "We're united. Sledge, Fury, Poisandra, they're divided," he commented, looking up at his friends.
"And that's what gives us the advantage to win," Teddie smiled, sitting on the table. "We have teamwork. They're too busy fighting each other to stand a chance against our united front," she high-fived Chase.
"I have something for you," Shelby touched Tyler's arm. She held out her hand, revealing his bracelet.
"You found my dad's bracelet," Tyler's eyes lit up. He'd been devastated when he'd lost it in the fight with Fury. Shelby smiled back, tying it back around his wrist as the others exchanged amused grins, except Koda, who looked baffled. Neither Tyler nor Shelby were very good at hiding their real feelings. "Thanks," Tyler spoke quietly.
"No problem," Shelby smiled back, before blushing as she remembered they had a very attentive audience.
"When I was fighting Fury today, he suddenly froze up, as if he...lost control," Tyler remembered, looking at his bracelet. The others frowned. "I swear, it looked like something inside him was trying to break through," he thought back to the golden light that had burst from Fury's chest right before he could finish Tyler off.
"Maybe it's his fun side trying to get out, eh?" Chase suggested. The others snorted.
"You're so lame," Olivia rolled her eyes.
"You just don't appreciate my humour," Chase bit back. Teddie sighed, putting her head in her hand as she shot Riley an exasperated look. He shrugged back.
"Whatever it is, we take it on together," Koda smiled, holding out his fist. The others grinned, each of them pressing their fists to his.
"Together!" they cheered.
Fact for the Chapter: Before I got hooked on Dino Charge, Teddie was originally going to be the Violet RPM Ranger, with Miko - originally named Asuna - as the Amber RPM Ranger. But then I fell in love with Dino Charge and had to include it in, and from the moment I saw him, Chase reminded me so much of Xander that it all fell into place for me. But originally the story after SPD - and supposed to be the last - was going to be RPM.
