Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers and I never will unfortunately, if I did Justin would have returned in Dino Thunder and got together with Kira instead of Trent or Conner.
Summary: this is a rewrite of Dino Thunder it starts just after the teens go home after finding the Gems.

Chapter 26
The school bell rings. Kira, Justin, Conner, Kylee, Selena and Ethan walk up the stairs towards the science room. "Have you guys heard from Trent or Andrea today?" Conner asked.
"No, after what they've done to us recently I don't think I want to." Justin replied.
"But we've got to make sure they don't snap on some kid who won't give them his lunch money." Ethan said as they reached the top of the stairs and began walking down the hall way.
"Yeah, I guess you're right, they could do some serious damage" Conner said.
"We know so how do we keep an eye on them" Kira said as they walked into the science class.
As they walked into the class, Trent appeared walking through the lockers obviously using his Camouflage power and Andrea appeared from where a fire extinguisher had been but it wasn't their any more obviously she'd used her mutation ability.
They smirked to each other. "Just try it" said Andrea
"Yeah it still won't help you." said Trent.
"Trent Fernandez and Andrea Scott please report to the principal's office. Trent Fernandez and Andrea Scott" Principal Randal said over the intercom.

They sighed and walk towards the principal's office. Once there they were directed into her office, and waited for her.
"Trent, Andrea" She started as she walked in from her usual truant hunt. "I've called you both in here because your teachers have raised some concerns."
"Concerns?" Trent asked.
"About what?" asked Andrea.
Randal signalled for them to sit down. "Well they say your grades have slipped alarmingly, your behaviour is atrocious, not to mention you both look white as sheets"
"We're fine" said Andrea.
"Yeah you don't need to worry about it, we'll be back to normal soon." Trent said.
"How can you be so sure?" asked Randal.
"Well because we know whats doing it and were dealing with it"
"Okay. Let's move on shall we" She concedes. "Let's talk about your friends, do you hang out with anyone other than yourselves?"
"Not anymore" Trent replied as he and Andrea kissed right in front of Randal.
"Could you stop that or you will be in detention" said Randal.
"Fine god sake anyone would think you've never had any?" said Andrea. As both her and Trent burst out laughing.
"That does it detention the pair of you" said Randal. "What team's are you on I'll inform them you won't be their for the next week? She added
"None but it's funny you should mention that, we have been asked by two teams to join them we recently accepted one."
"And?" She asked hopefully.
"Ever since we joined them we have been feeling strange maybe it's that?" said Trent.
Randal looked a little afraid she had overstepped the mark so she sent them to their classroom.

In the science room, everyone was talking. Devin held his camera bag open as Ethan, Conner and Justin took turns shooting paper ball's inside.
"That's a three pointer." Devin encouraged.
Ethan grabbed another paper ball. "Hey, did you hear about the new science teacher we're getting today." Ethan said so he could cover the fact that he and the rest of the Dino Rangers and Kylee knew who was covering for Tommy.
Trent and Andrea came in looking fed up and took their seats on the far side of the room.
"Yeah, I wonder who it'll be." Conner says throwing a paper ball at the bag and it hit the edge.
Cassidy heard the conversation. "I heard from a very reliable source that it's an eighty year old woman who used to teach Kindergarten in Ohio."
The door opened and in stepped Principal Randal. "Good morning, class." Everyone took their seats and Devin emptied the paper balls out of the camera bag and put his camera back in it.
"I'd like to introduce your new teacher. Dr. William Cranston."
"Morning class." Billy said as he came into the room and stood next to Randal.
Selena looked at Cassidy. "Hey, she looks good for eighty."
Devin busts out laughing but stops when Cassidy hits him. "What? I thought it was funny."
"Miss Sloan, Mr. Devine you two will be joining Mr. Fernandez and Miss Scott in detention after school."
Ethan was the first to realise that meant Trent and Andrea could easily get rid of Devin and hurt Selena, so he quickly thought about what he could do and he spotted a paper ball in front of him so he picked it up and through it at Randal and hit her. Randal saw the smirk on his face and realised it was him.
"Mr. James you will attending detention as well" Randal said before she adds "Dr. Cranston has volunteered to teach you until Dr. Oliver get's back on his feet." Principal Randal tells them. "I would like you to treat him with the same respect that you'd treat Dr. Oliver." She nodded at Dr. Cranston before walking out.
"Thank you Principal Randal, now let me say how honored I am to be here. What I'm handing out now are permission slips. These are for your parents or guardians to sign for a field trip tomorrow to a museum." Conner looked at Ethan who shrugged. "I hope you all will be able to make it, especially since it's a guided tour by Dr Mercer, who is a Dinosaur expert. Now for today's assignment class I want you to work with the other 3 people on your table and research all Omnivore Dinosaurs."
That meant Conner and Kylee work with Ethan and Selena, and Justin and Kira were working with Cassidy and Devin.
"Why did you do that?" asked Selena once class was under way, also knowing Conner and Kylee wanted to know.
"I wanted to make sure Andrea and Trent didn't try anything" replied Ethan.

After school, Conner, Kylee, Justin and Kira walked to the parking lot.
"So what are you guys doing now?" Kira asked them.
"Soccer." replied Conner.
"I'm going to watch" Kylee replied. "How about you and Justin?"
"We promised Dr. O we'd help him inventory some stuff in the lab." Kira answered.
"Ok then see you two later." Conner said.
"See ya." Kira said.
"Bye." Conner said.
"Yeah, later."
They all said before walking in different directions.

Meanwhile in detention Devin could sense the tension between Trent and Andre and Ethan and Selena and he was almost certain that if he and Dr. Cranston weren't in the room they would probably be fighting each other.
"While this was going on Devin was studying the anagram Councilor Hammond had given them.
he was trying different combinations of names of anyone he could think of even though he new he would be wrong he had started going through the names of his classmates to try and work out any name that could give him a clue to working out the hidden identity of the person Councilor Hammond had told them could help them understand the Powers of the Turbo Morphers they had possession of. By the time he got half way through his classmates Dr. Cranston said.
"You may go detention is over"
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Meanwhile in the Command Cave Kira and Justin were at opposite ends of the Cave helping Tommy Inventory some of the spare bones he had laying around.
"That's great." Tommy said after Kira told him about the field trip tomorrow to the museum and the Anton Mercer would be acting as tour guide.
"You're kidding right?" She asked after handing him a bone.
"No." He answered. "I know you think Anton is a little strange especially after what he tried to do to Hayley's."
"Yeah and Justin Timberlake is a little cute." She replied sarcastically.
"Hey I heard that" said Justin sounding a little hurt. But in reality he was having a joke with Kira.
"Ok I'm sorry Dragon Honey"
"Look he taught me most of what I know about Dinosaurs. He'll be the best tour guide you could have asked for." Tommy stated.
"Whatever?" said Justin as he came over to join Kira.
"He really is an amazing person once you get to know him."
Justin passed the final bone to Kira and she looked at it and couldn't picture a Dinosaur that the bone would look right in.
"Uhm Dr. O what type of Dinosaur does this bone belong to?" She asked as Tommy turned his head to look at Justin and Kira.
"Oh, you better give me that." He took it from her carefully.
"What is it Tommy?" asked Justin
"Just a bone."
"But if it's just a bone why is it so important?" Kira asked him.
"It needs to be kept in my possession. Let's just put it away." He said opening a box and setting it there and putting a combination lock on the box.
"Whatever you say." Kira said, giving up that he wasn't going to tell her.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
The next day the school bus pulled up at the museum and everyone got out.
"Dr. Mercer I assume?" asked Billy as he was met by Anton.
"Yes you are right, welcome Dr. Cranston" replied Anton. "Alright follow me. We don't want to keep our prehistoric friends waiting." Anton said directing them into the entrance of the museum.
The Dino Rangers were at the back and Kira looked up at the Tyrannosaurus statue.
"What's wrong?" Conner asked her since she stopped in front of him.
"That thing just gives me creepy vibes." Kira said.
Conner and Ethan looked up to see the statue of the T-Rex.
"I know what you mean I swear its moved." said Justin.
"You know that's Dinosaurs are extinct, right?" Ethan said.
"So what do you call what we deal with?" asked Justin. As Kira gives him a look.
"Okay I see your point." He said as he and Selena walked away to catch up to Conner and Kylee as they walked into the museum.
Kira and Justin start to walk after them hand in hand but look at the statue again. "Stop staring at me." Kira said before they walked into the museum.
"And just here is a Triceratops. Strictly herbivore." Anton said as they walked through the room. "Hunted by the Tyrannosaurs Rex."
Conner brought his hands down on Ethan's shoulders. "Gotta love the T-Rex."
"Whatever bro." Ethan said back.
"Up next we have the Pterosaur and the Stegosaurus" said Anton.
Hearing a sound behind her Kira stopped which alerted Justin and they both turned around and saw what looked like a Tyrannodrone run around the corner they made their way over to where it had gone to take a closer look.
Cassidy looked to see Kira and Justin walking away from the group and followed behind them.
"Hey." Cassidy said. "Where are you two love birds going?"
Kira turned. "Um, the bathroom."
"Ewe, that I did not need to know anyway at least let me go in first so I don't have to listen to it." Cassidy told them.
"Cassidy, just stay here okay. You're going to get us all into trouble." Kira stated.
"Whatever. I'm going to the little girl's room and you two can do whatever you want." Cassidy said she was now suspicious about where they were originally going to go before she realised they had walked away leaving her alone.
"Ms. Cornell?" Anton said walking up behind Cassidy. "Please join us we wouldn't want you to miss anything"
"But what about" She starts.
"Come along now." Putting his hand on her arm gently and directing her towards the rest of the group. Kira and Justin waited for them to get far enough away before they followed the direction the Tyrannodrone had gone which lead them to the Storage Room. Justin opened the door and they both walked in.
In the room were shelves full of artefacts, they walked a little further into the room but that's when they were grabbed from behind. They fought their way out and spun round to find a small army of Tyrannodrones behind them, they nodded to each other and started to fight back to back both fighting in perfect sync. One would duck and the other would hit a high swinging kick.
The more they fought back the more seemed to come at them and eventually the Tyrannodrones had managed to subdue the two Rangers and brought them to what appeared to be a Dinosaur skull and some odd bones.
"Let us go you ugly creatures" said Justin.
The fossil skull in front of them started glowing. They both close their eyes in an attempt to block the bright light.
"Kira, Justin" It hisses. "You will listen to only me until told different." Both their eyes open to reveal both are white meaning they are under its control.
"Yes we will only follow your orders until told" they said together.
"Bring me the bone your Black Dino Ranger has stored in his house"
"We will bring you the bone" they say again in unison.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
"Where could they be?" Ethan asked Conner as the two searched part of the building for Kira and Justin, Selena and Kylee were searching another part and even Cassidy and Devin were looking since they were supposed to work with Kira and Justin on their Dino Project for class, Anton and Billy were looking in the basement incase they had found their way down their but that was only because Billy had gone towards the storage room that Kira and Justin had gone in to, to find a Tyrannodrone and he couldn't let Billy find the remains of the Dinosaur in their.
"Look, there they are." Conner said as Kira and Justin came round a corner hand in hand and stopped in front of them. "Kira, Justin!" Kira and Justin were looking a little off colour. "Are you two feeling okay?"
"Uh, yeah. We're fine. Just needed a little time alone together." Kira said.
Conner and Ethan look at each other before Conner said "Ewe that I did not need to know"
"Not that kind of time alone, god is that all you think of?" said Justin.
"Uhm No but the way you said it" said Conner.
"Whatever are we leaving yet?" asked Kira.
"Yeah, now we've found you two we're leaving." Ethan answered.
"Good let's go." Kira said before both her and Justin pushing past them and headed towards the door.
Ethan and Conner looked at each other both thinking the same thing 'Something's wrong their both acting strange'. They shrug not prepared to voice their worries until they were certain.
They decide to tell the others and then they all headed back to the bus. Once they returned to school and just before the class was told to leave Dr Cranston said.
"Mr Stewart, you and Miss Ford you both have detention for walking off in the museum"
"Whatever" they both said together.
That caused the whole class to look on in shock it was well known that Justin was one of the smartest and politest students in the class and that Kira was easy going as well but this new attitude seamed odd. Their was even a surprised look on the faces of Trent and Andrea.
After school Justin and Kira sat in detention and made the list of several Omnivore that they could think of, then just sat their. The fact they had stopped working and had put their stuff away after just 20 minuets had almost annoyed Billy.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
"Something's not right." Ethan said to Selena as he hit his pen against a note pad that had the names of several Omnivore Dinosaurs on it, and Conner and Kylee were on the computers looking through numerous websites about Omnivore Dinosaurs but they were getting frustrated since they were giving them confusing information, they closed down the computer and went to the table Ethan and Selena sitting round. Then they looked over at Kira and Justin who was sitting at the counter and their list seamed to be much longer than the one they had found.
Hayley walked around the counter and went over to Kira and Justin. "Hey, you two, how come you're not sitting with the others?"
"The assignment we have has us working with Cassidy and Devin anyway we don't have to do everything together?" Kira said rather sharply while Justin was making note's.
"Well, no but you normally do anyway?" Hayley asked a little surprised by Kira's tone and Justin's lack of interest since he wasn't even doing the Homework that Conner and Ethan were "Not anymore." Kira said before whispering something to Justin.
"Yeah let's get out of here" he said.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Hayley walked over to Ethan and the others. Hey whats up with those two?"
"No idea maybe it Kira's time of the Month" said Kylee.
"But that wouldn't explain Justin's behavior?"
"I guess so, Let me try and talk to her before they go?" said Kylee as she got up from her table and approached Kira.
"Hey BFF?" said Kylee.
"Hey Kylee, you alright?" asked Kylee.
"Yeah. How about you two you both seem a little different?"
"No we're fine just suffering a little burn out I guess after what happened with Ninjagon."
"Yeah I know I have been rough the last few days"
"Thanks for not getting on our cases like Ethan and Conner"
"No worries"
Conner, Ethan and Selena walked up to Kira, Justin and Kylee and Conner asked "Hey I was wondering do you guy's want to go to a movie tonight?"
"No, we just want to spend some quiet time together." Was Justin's reply as they said bye to Kylee and headed out.
"You know when someone doesn't want to hang out they usually come up wit a reason." Conner said.
"They want to spend some quiet time together their suffering a little burnout from dealing with Ninjagon" replied Kylee.
"I understand I mean the power we used to activate the Mezadon really knocked me back and I know we both needed a good few days to get through it" said Conner.
"So let's just give them some time to recover and in a few days they will be ok" said Kylee as they exited the Cyberspace.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Up in the Command Cave Kim, Jason and Tommy were listening to Billy tell them about the attitude change in Kira and Justin.
"I don't want to believe Justin could act like that and Kira isn't the type to be blunt or mean to people" said Kim.
"I have never seen anything in Justin to point to this side of him, I just hope it's not the Coin trying to turn him evil?" said Tommy.
"But you said Zordon gave it to him?"
"That's what he told me"
"How I thought Zordon was destroyed in the Countdown?" asked Jason.
"No idea I suggest we just keep an eye on them and give them sometime together to clam themselves down"
Suddenly they were interrupted by Tommy's communicator went off and he could hear Justin's voice coming through it.
"Hey Justin what can I do for you?"
"Tommy me and Kira just saw something in the woods by the dried up river as we were out for a run but we're running late to meet Karen so can you check it out?"
"Sure thing it'll give me a chance to try out Billy and Hayley's latest creation, the Brachio ATV"
"Thanks Dr. O" replied Kira.
"Yeah we really appreciate it" said Justin.
"No problem guys" Tommy said as he got on the ATV and headed out through the cave entrance out into the forest but he hadn't seen Justin and Kira waiting behind two of the trees
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
A few minutes later Kim, Jason and Billy heard the walls open and they thought Tommy had forgotten something but instead in walked Kira and Justin both with white eyes.
"Kira, Justin? I thought you two were going to Karen's?" Kim asked.
They didn't respond all they did was look to each other and nod then Justin put his figure's in his ears as Kira unleashed a Ptera Scream and which just went Higher and Higher in pitch until Kim, Jason and Billy lost consciousness then it was up to Justin to break the lock on the box that housed the strange bone that Tommy had taken from them earlier. He looked at the lock and called his Dragon Dagger and sliced the lock clean off the box and removed the bone then turned his attention to the three Rangers who he knew the minute they came round would try and take them out so he tied them up and put a timer on the chain to release them in a few hours to make sure they were far enough away so they couldn't interfere.
Just as they were about to leave Justin's communicator went off, Justin handed Kira the bone and answered his communicator.
"Hey Tommy what can I do for you?" asked Justin.
"I just reached the dried up river and I can't see a Dino egg, are you sure you saw one?"
"I guess we could have been mistaken it was only a quick glance thanks anyway Tommy"
"No problem." He said.
Justin and Kira again tried to leave but Jason and Kim were surprisingly starting to regain consciousness so they kicked both Kim and Jason as hard as possible knocking them out again then with an arm round each other they smirked before walking away.
Dino thunder return of the Dragon
Meanwhile out in the woods Tommy had called the other Rangers just to be sure he hadn't missed anything that could be the potential Egg that Justin and Kira had thought they had seen.
"Sorry Dr. O we can't see anything that looks like an egg" said Conner.
"Don't worry lets get back to base and I'll run a deep scan of the area and if there is something out here hopefully we'll find it before Mesogog"
About twenty minutes later Ethan, Conner, Selena, Kylee and Tommy entered the cave entrance of the Command Cave. "So you think Kira and Justin been acting strange?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, they did say it was burn out from fighting Ninjagon but I don't really believe them" Kylee said.
"Why don't you believe them?"
"Well Kira's never been able to lie to me very well"
Suddenly Tommy gasped seeing the mess in the Command Cave it almost looked like a bomb had gone off the Cave was a mess. Then he noticed a box lying open on the table and he walked over to the box and picked it up, and examined it and realised what bone it was. He turned and looked up at them. "Guy's we have a bigger problem than Kira and Justin"
Everyone looked to him then Ethan said "So what's the bigger problem?"
"This box contained the final bone that would complete a creature that was created between Anton and me years ago."
"What kind of creature?" Conner asked.
"Fossilador. We were trying to create a dinosaur who had the power of mind control but it got out of hand." He told them.
"So how did you stop it then?" asked Selena.
"We removed a bone and kept it separate from the monster but it still could control minds if you looked into its eye sockets, but as long as I had the missing bone the thing could never come to life"
"And that's what was in the box." Conner stated.
"Yeah." Tommy nodded.
"So who do you think took it?" Conner asked.
"Well there's only three people who know where I put it and I know I didn't take it that seriously limits our suspects." Tommy said.
"Kira and Justin, you really think they took it?" Kylee asked.
"Hey, what's that over there?" Conner asked pointing to something in the corner of the room.
Tommy turned and saw what looked like three bodies on the floor. He made his way over and saw who it was there unconscious on the floor were Jason, Billy and Kim, both Kim and Jason seemed to have a bump forming on their heads, and he could also see a chain on the floor and he feared that they had been hit with the chain.
Tommy bent down and carefully picked up Kim carried her to the couch.
"Conner call Hayley ask her to come over" Tommy said.
Conner got out his phone and makes the call.
"Kylee, Selena could you get me the first aid kit." Tommy asks them.
They both nodded and started to search for the first aid kit.
"Ethan can you check on Billy and Jason for me?"
"Sure thing Dr. O" said Ethan.
Kylee and Selena arrived with the first aid kit and watched as Tommy gently wiped the bump with an antiseptic wipe and then the Heard a groan coming from Kim and then her eyes blinked open. "Tommy?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, Kim, it's me, what Happened?" Tommy said.
"I'm going to kill, Kira, and Justin" Kim said before closing her eyes again.
A/N :3 I'm ending missing bone hear and posting the second half as a separate chapter since I found some bits I needed to change in the second part anyway and I'm rewriting the ending as well, so while I do these bits I'll post the first half.
