Chapter 23
Jason, Kim, Selena, Justin, Kira and Ethan returned to the Command Cave and told Hayley and Billy what had happened. In the Cyberspace then Ethan and Kira showed everyone the two Turbo Keys they had found in the Cyberspace.
"Where did these come from?" asked Justin.
"I think Cassidy and Devin dropped them?" said Kira.
"Well her Aunt is Cassie I wonder if she gave Cassidy them in fear that they might get taken by someone who want the Turbo Powers" said Jason.
"If that's the case me and Kylee need to tread carefully" replied Justin as he handed the key of his Turbo Morpher and the two they had found in the Cyberspace to Kylee and said to her "Keep these safe somewhere where Ninjagon won't find them, and use them when the time is right"
Hayley took the key and placed it in the safe along with the other two keys.

Meanwhile up in the cave of despair Ninjagon had unlocked the prison door and had taken the Black Dino Ranger.
"Now Black Ranger we shall have a little chat" said Ninjagon as he dragged the Black Dino Ranger to a separate room.
"Uhm Aunt Cassie what is gunna happen to him?" asked Cassidy.
"I don't know but he will not give in it's not in his nature" replied Cassie.
"He sounds like a great guy a born leader, who could get people to follow him into almost any situation"
"Well he can and has a few years ago their was a little incident on the moon he lead us on that mission" said TJ.
"But I thought that was Red only?" asked Devin remembering he had heard something about it.
"Yeah it was he has been two Reds before"
"Oh. Is that why he won't give in?"
"Yeah he has too much pride"

Meanwhile in the separate room Ninjagon had strapped Tommy to a metal table and had a mind reading device in position over his head ready to scan his brain for a monster he could create and send after the other Rangers to draw them out so they'd be easier to capture.
"Now Black Ranger let's see what monsters you have seen that I can recreate in my own way to draw out your precious Rangers and maybe just maybe one of them will have possession of a Turbo Morpher so I can use them to break free of this prison and never have to step foot in this place ever again"
"I will never help you I told Mesogog I wouldn't help him and I will never help you either"
"Oh you will but you won't realise you are doing it"
"You will never break me I have helped defeat some of the most evil creatures who were obsessed with world domination and you are no different"
"You won't say that when I bring back one of those people all I need is the right part of Ryan's Comet"
"You are insane if you want to bring back Ivan Ooze"
"Maybe I am and then again maybe not?"
"He would try to over throw you, you must have known what he done to Lord Zedd and Rita?"
"Yes I know who do you think released them?"
"That was you. How and why would you do that?"
"I re-directed the evil energy that natural flows through the Cave of Despair and concentrated it in to a beam and released them"
"Why didn't you attempt a takeover then?"
"Those powers were not strong enough and the same with the Zeo ones for what I needed, but the Turbo Powers on the other hand can do much more for me Muranthias isn't the only place they can allow entry to and I only need four of them instead of 5 I know I have four of those in ownership of those Morphers in my prison that leaves 5 more I can reach I know the second green isn't on this planet anymore I have searched for him unsuccessfully"
"You will find the other 5 harder to turn to your view and hand over their key's if you can find them at all"
"I already know where they are, 3 are in Reefside and 2 are in Angel Grove"
"Huh how do you work that out?"
"I will explain all in good time but since you are of no help I shall make a little message and send to your friends and then return you to the cell with the others"
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
In the Dino Cave the Rangers were trying to come up with a plan to rescue Tommy and anyone else Ninjagon had taken when the computers started beeping. They all looked up and saw Ninjagon was looking at them he was obviously sending them a video message.
"Power Rangers if you want to see this man ever again or any of these people" Ninjagon showed them a clip of the cell that TJ, Cassie, Devin, Cassidy and Ashley were in. "You will surrender the Blue and Pink Turbo Keys to me then I will collect the Yellow and Green from your two friends in Angel Grove"
"What are you talking about we don't have the Pink Key Kat has been missing for years, and what do you want them for" asked Justin.
Meanwhile Kylee was being hugged by Conner she was unhappy seeing her sister in a cell.
"I need them to complete my ultimate weapon that I will soon collect I am waiting for one more piece of the puzzle. And don't play me for a fool the Pink key is in Reefside"
"What are you serious?"
"Yes now hand them over"
"Give us time to think it through"
"You have two hours before I take somebody else close to you" said Ninjagon as the message ended.
Hayley, Jason, Kim and Justin looked to each other than to Billy.
"Is it possible?" asked Jason towards Billy.
"If she was here we would have seen her by now she can't be hiding here we would have known about it" said Justin.
"Uhm I know this is a saw point but does anyone know what Cassidy's mother was called?" asked Hayley.
"Uhm she said her step mom was called Katherine, but I never really hung out with her ever so that's all I know" answered Kira.
Everyone turned to look at her and Justin said "Are you certain Kira?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Katherine was Kat's full name" said Billy.
"Uhm I know we're talking about Kat but should we ring my Sister and Brother in law and warn them about Ninjagon?" asked Selena
"Yeah if we can get them some were safe we can then focus on this other problem" said Justin.
"Do you mind if I call them?" asked Jason.
"No go ahead it might be better coming from you then they'll understand the seriousness of the situation" said Serena.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Ten minutes had passed since Jason had made the phone call and explained everything to Adam and he said he would hide the keys and find a safe place for him and Tanya to hide and to let them know over the communicators when it was safe for them to go home. Jason had told everyone what they had said, Selena was being comforted by Ethan who was trying to calm her down knowing her family was a possible target for Ninjagon. Kim meanwhile was unhappy that Tommy was gone and had been taken prisoner again by another evil entity, first it was Rita, then King Mondo, then Mesogog and now it was this Ninjagon thing. She and Tommy had only recently got back together they had talked about the letter and Kim had more or less said it was her nerves that made here write it.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
An hour later Hayley, Justin and Kira had gone down to the Cyberspace to start tiding up and seeing what damage had been caused during the recent attack. Billy, Ethan and Selena were in the Zord work shop seeing if they could fix Selena's Falconzord. Conner and Kylee were sitting on a sofa in the Command Cave watching the computer screen while Jason and Kim were outside Kim was so worked up she couldn't think straight all she wanted to do was go to Ninjagon's base and rescue Tommy, she hadn't realised how dangerous running out the house was but thankfully Jason went after he managed to calm her down they were so much like a brother and sister it was untrue they had been friends so long. They ended up walking through the forest forgetting to keep an eye on the time and soon two hours had passed since Ninjagon's threat and they hadn't delivered any of the Turbo Keys to him. When suddenly they were surrounded by Kelzaks and Kelzak Furies, Kim and Jason swung so they were back to back defending each other.
"Kim I think we should Morph" said Jason.
"I agree let's do it" said Kim.
"IT'S MORPHIN TIME, TYRANNOSAURUS" called Jason.
"NINJETTI THE CRANE" called Kim.
They both stood there in their Ranger outfits but before they attacked there was a sudden flash of Pink light and Kim's cloth Ninjetti outfit was replaced by a Power suit like Jason's.
"Wow nice upgrade" said Jason.
"I guess the Pink Egg decided the time was right" said Kim.
Together they fought off the Kelzaks and Kelzak Furies until they became severely outnumbered and were soon taken down and transported to the Cave of Despair.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
In the Command Cave Conner and Kylee had just saw Jason and Kimberly Morph then fight off the Kelzaks and Kelzak Furies until they were outnumbered and were captured and teleported away to the Cave of Despair.
"We'd better call the others and let them know whats happened" said Kylee.
"Yeah because without them Billy is kind of in charge" replied Conner as he activated the communicator on the computer and told Billy what had happened and Billy told him to tell Justin as well so Conner did and then waited to see what would happen.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
In the Cave of Despair Ninjagon approached his two newest prisoners and he separated them taking the Red Ranger to the interrogation room that Tommy had been in earlier and Kim still in her suit was taken to the cells and thrown in with them and Tommy caught her before she hit the floor.
"Hey my beautiful Crane are you ok?" asked Tommy
"I'm fine how are you Falcon" replied Kim.
"I'm better for seeing you"
"Ok knock it off you two" said TJ.
"What are you jealous?" asked Kim.
"No chance I have found the love of my life and haven't let her go, hell I went into space to be with her"
"Yeah you did and my baby knows I would have followed her anywhere" said Tommy.
"Have you two worked out a date yet?" asked Cassie.
"Not yet but we have been focused on other things you know my Falcon being stuck in a Bracio suit" said Kim as she and Tommy hugged.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Meanwhile in the interrogation room Ninjagon had his machine set up over Jason and had already forced him to De-morph through damage taken.
"You will now help me recreate 5 of the most dangerous monsters that you have ever faced and I will re-model theme to my liking and use them to capture the other Rangers" said Ninjagon.
"No chance you freak" replied Jason as the machine was lowered in to place and although he fought it after a minute or so his mind opened revealing every monster he had ever fought as a Ranger.
"Excellent I have so many to choose from but I only need enough to capture the rest of my Targets"
Ninjagon was looking through the list of potential monsters he could call on when a few started to stick out two him so he started to put their names on a new list then he would eliminate the ones he found to be week after his examination of the abilities.
"Thank you Red Ranger your mind has been so helpful to me" Ninjagon calls to one of the Kelzaks and has them take Jason's unconscious body to the cell.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Back in the Command Cave Justin, Kira and Hayley arrive back after dealing with their business at the Cyber café.
"Has anyone heard from Adam and Tanya they should have reached a safe location by now?" asked Justin.
"No we haven't heard anything from them" replied Conner.
Justin activated his Communicator so he could try and reach Adam but he feared the worse since Adam and Tanya always checked in during their Ranger days so he tried to contact them but was only getting static and he knew what that meant. They weren't in the safe hiding place but likely had already been taken prisoner.
"Hayley call Serena ask her were the safe place Adam and Tanya would go to" asked Justin.
"Ok" said Hayley as she made the call and explained what was going on to Selena.
A few minutes had passed while Selena was answering Hayley's question one the phone was put down Hayley turned to Justin and said "She said either Ernie's or the Command Center Remains in the Zeo Chamber"
"Ok we need to make contact with both places and find out if their safe"
"Right I call my Uncle" said Hayley then she added "How do you intend on contacting the Zeo Chamber?"
"Storm Blaster should be able to make contact" said Justin as he approached Storm Blaster and started to press buttons, until he made contact with the computer at the Command Center, Storm was suddenly incased in a blue light that ended up going straight into the Glove box where part of his Turbo Morpher was located.
"What was that?" asked Hayley.
"I don't know" said Justin as he looked inside and beside part of his Turbo Morpher sat a small object "It's a tracking device like what I created during my times as a Turbo Ranger" he said as he took it out of the Glove box.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
It had been twenty minutes and they hadn't been able to contact Adam and Tanya and now believed they had been taken by Ninjagon to add to his collection, Ethan and Selena had returned to the Command Cave to try and help locate them.
"I guess there in the same place as everyone else has been taken to" said Selena with a tear in her eye as she hugged Ethan.
"Come on Selena you know they'll be safe they have the other Rangers to help them" replied Ethan.
"But what if he takes their Turbo Keys?"
"Adam and Tanya are too smart to keep them on their person they would most likely carry their older Morphers with them" said Justin.
"Which ones?" asked Selena.
"Most likely the Zeo"
"But what if they Morph in front of Cassidy and Devin?"
"Then we will wipe their memories of who we are" said Billy appearing from the Zord bay.
"So how is the Falconzord?" asked Selena.
"It's almost done I just need a few more hours on it but I had to stop and see whats going on"
"Well its not good Adam and Tanya aren't responding and Kim and Jason have vanished as well" replied Justin.
"What's your plan?"
"We need to tempt Ninjagon somehow maybe offer him something"
"Like what?"
"Billy how soon could we create four keys that look like the Turbo Keys and convince Ninjagon they are real?"
"I can have them made I an hour then we need to flush him out"
"It sounds like you want bait?" said Kira.
"That's exactly it Ptera" said Justin.
"What is it Dragon?" asked Kira confused.
"We lure him in to attacking and capturing more of us then we offer the fake keys"
"I love it" said Kira kissing him.
"Billy can you start work on them and I'll go and finish off the repairs on the Blue Falcon" said Justin as he and Kira headed into the Zord bay and they got to work finishing of the repairs.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
An hour later and Billy cam into the Zord bay and saw they were almost finished with repairs and he approached them and said.
"Guy's the Keys are ready all we need to do is lure them out"
"Excellent lets go and put the plan into action"
They returned to the Command Cave and looked over the keys and they were perfect copies of the originals.
"Guys I know that Andrea and Trent are evil but shouldn't we at least let them know whats happened to Jason?" asked Conner.
"Yeah I'll text her and let her know" said Justin as he pulled out his phone and texted Andrea.
'Andy, Jason captured by Ninjagon, were planning a rescue attempt just thought u should know' Justin sent.
'Can u let me and Trent have a go first Mesogog is a little worried about him as well' came the reply.
'Of course but can you take something to Tommy then we can locate where everyone is'
'Done send me it and we'll deliver it but remember to get us out as well if he captures us'
'Ok will do'
'Thanx'
"Ok told them and Andy said that her and Trent want to take a shot at rescuing Jason and stopping Ninjagon, apparently Mesogog is worried about his growing power"
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Meanwhile in the Cave of Despair Jason's mind was being scanned for any form of monster that Ninjagon could re-create and use against the Rangers he had already selected 3 different monsters and was searching for a further 2. So far he had Chosen. Twoheaded Parrot, Bones and Maligore, when he had recreated Bones he also re-created Bones his soldiers he was again searching through Jason's mind for any other monsters.
Meanwhile in the other room the cell had become rather cramped with the addition of Adam and Tanya and the knowledge that Jason was going to be brought in as well once Ninjagon was finished with him.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Ten further minutes had passed and Jason still hadn't been brought back but suddenly in the corridor in front of the cell a Green light appeared and out of it came the White and Crimson Rangers. The Crimson Ranger approached the cell and the Black Ranger moved over to her and the two appeared to be talking.
"Where is my brother?"
"Ninjagon has him and is using him to re-create five of the most deadly monsters we've faced he tried me but failed but he must be searching his mind"
"The others have a plan to get you guys back but we wanted to try first Mesogog's orders and also"
"Yeah I know" said Tommy as Andy handed him an object before Cassidy tried to push her way through.
"What are you two talking about your enemy's?" asked Cassidy.
"Yeah but against a common threat anything can happen" said the White Ranger as the two of them activated their weapons and went through the door at the end of the cell block and started to fight the army of Kelzaks and Kelzak Furies trying to reach the room that Jason was in.
The only sound that could be heard from the other side of the door now was Swords hitting each other and the odd shout of 'over hear' from either Trent or Andrea.
"What is that device?" asked Cassidy once Tommy was sitting beside the Pink Ranger.
"It's a homing device and I bet I know who built it"
"Do you think it's" said TJ stopping before saying the name.
"I bet you Turbo Blue helped build it" said Cassie understanding what was going and that they couldn't name Justin just yet.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Inside the Room Ninjagon was scanning Jason's he wheeled in a new machine that had a huge boiler in it and a conveyer belt leading into it and a pipe leaving it. (Finster monster maker) Ninjagon placed the first picture on the conveyer belt and watched as it entered the machine and it made some strange noises and then with a small explosion the smoke cleared to reveal Bones and his army of skeleton warriors.
"Ah that was a successful first test now to re-create the rest of you" said Ninjagon as he placed Maligore's picture on the conveyer belt and it headed into the machine and with the same noise but a larger explosion Maligore appeared. That was followed by the photo of Twoheaded Parrot and he appeared from the end of the machine. Outside the door to the room Ninjagon was in there was a series of strange noises and Ninjagon pointed to Bones and Maligore and said. "Go and deal with that then take them to the cells put them in a different one though we don't want them to fight each other just yet"
"Yes Lord Ninjagon" said Bones.
Ninjagon finished his search and pulled out two more monsters and then got a Twoheaded Parrot to take Jason to the cells.
While his next monster came out of the machine and the smoke cleared revealing Louie Kaboom, and the machine started up again re-creating the final monster, the smoke cleared and there was General Gerrok standing there.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
After what seemed like half an hour the white and Crimson Rangers were drug back in and were thrown into a cell by two new monsters but Adam, Tanya, Tommy and Kim new who they were. Trent and Andrea were on their own in the cell right next to the others. Then a few minutes later Jason's body was dragged in by a Kelzak and he was put in the cell with Andrea and Trent.
Tommy and Kim moved towards the side of the cell to try and see if Jason was ok, Adam and Tanya were next in civilian form they could actually mention his name whereas Tommy, Kim, Trent and Andy couldn't.
"Is he going to be alright?" asked Adam.
"I don't know" replied Andrea.
"Why those three?" asked the Pink Ranger.
"No idea we'll have to ask him when he comes round and who the others are that got taken from his mind" responded the Black.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Back in the Command Cave everyone was waiting to see how Andrea and Trent did.
"How long do we give them?" asked Selena.
"Another hour then we'll send in the first wave" said Justin as he turned to Billy and said "Time to suit up Billy, and check your powers are still active"
"But how my powers are all gone?" responded Billy not understanding where Justin was going with this.
"No they haven't you should still have one active one"
"Uhm excuse me for interrupting but whats the first wave?" asked Conner?"
"We use the same tactic as Trent and Andrea only more of us go" said Justin.
"What about Mesogog should we try to contact him? Remember what Andy said Mesogog is afraid of his power" said Ethan.
"If he's that concerned let him come to us" said Hayley.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Twenty minutes later they were ready to try out Billy's powers and see if he could Morph
"Ninjetti the Wolf" Billy called and then a Blue light engulfed him and his cloth Ninjetti suit appeared over his body.
"Told you so" said Justin.
"So who goes first?" asked Hayley.
"You, Billy, Ethan and Selena, stay unmorphed and try to tell Ninjagon we are ready to give him what he wants" said Justin.
"Ok then what?" asked Hayley not really loving the plan that meant she'd be captured.
"Then me and Kira enter Morphed and present the fake keys" said Justin.
"Let's do it before I chicken out"
The four of them left the Command Cave and walked around until Ninjagon caught them,
Meanwhile in the Command Cave Justin and Kira were preparing for the next part of the plan when the computer beeped and reveled a picture of Mesogog, Zeltrax and Elsa.
"Rangers I have a proposition for you" hissed Mesogog.
"What do you want Mesogog?" asked Justin.
"I propose a temporary alliance until we recover our allies from Ninjagon"
"And how do we know you will keep your word?"
"I will send my to aids Zeltrax and Elsa to help you in your plan"
"What do we get in return?" asked Kira.
"Clues to the wear abouts of your missing Ranger friends"
"What have you done with Rocky and Kat?" asked Justin.
"I did nothing they didn't want me to" hissed the reply.
"I will think about your offer" said Justin as he ended the communication.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
In Reefside Park Billy, Hayley, Ethan and Selena were walking round looking for anyway to draw out Ninjagon.
"There you are" said Ninjagon's voice as an army of Kelzaks and Kelzak Furries surrounded them.
"We have decided to agree to your request we will give you the Turbo Keys you want as long as you release the people you have taken." Said Billy
"Do you have the Keys with you?"
"No we are in the position of collecting the final one"
"Well I will bring you to see your friends and then once I get the keys I shall think about letting you out"
"At least you can see your family again and introduce your boyfriend?" said Hayley to Selena.
"How do you know, we haven't told anyone?" asked Selena.
"I see more than people think I just never speak about it"
"Then why did you start now?"
"I just thought that with your parents their you could tell them"
"Maybe I will I need to talk about it with Ethan first"
Neither of them had realised they had been transported to the same cell as Jason, Trent and Andrea. But they soon realised when the heard Adam and Tanya call Selena's name as they moved to the edge of their cell and Selena moved towards them and hugged them through the bars.
Ethan approached them and said to Selena.
"You ok?"
"Yeah. Hey Ethan can I introduce you to my family this is my sister Tanya and her husband Adam"
