A/N: Wow, back in eight days. This must be a record for me! So, I know that it's called White Thunder Part 3, but there's sort of a bit leftover from part 2 which in my opinion, just fits better in this chapter. Also, this may be the longest chapter yet!

Turned-By-William AKA Spike: Thanks.

TheTombedSpirit: Oh thanks, I'm glad you think so. And very soon, trust me.

hewhoreaps: Yep. Issues, issues and more issues to come.

Apollo Holmes: Same. Thanks.

LovelyLoveble: Same here! Thanks.

brankel1: Thanks.

As soon as Kira left with all the other former rangers, Hayley started monitoring the eggs again. And now there appeared to be three. One near Ethan, the one near Conner and now a new one in a completely different place.

"Doctor M, I've got the egg," Ethan reported.

"Great," Michael said. "But there's another one."

"What?" Conner asked from the other end.

"I need someone to go and get it," Michael stated.

"But Conner, Kim and I need to get on the megazord to fight Mesofreak's newest creation!" Ethan argued.

"And I'm already on my way to stopping the White Ranger," Kira interjected.

"That leaves me," Michael concluded. "Okay, everyone, continue what you're doing."

"You're going to get the egg yourself? You know that's not safe right?" Hayley questioned sceptically.

"I've got no choice, two eggs and two able rangers. Kira's already going to have a tough time with the White Ranger, even with all the help she has. The White Ranger's egg is more important, this one will probably only be an auxiliary zord," Michael explained, scratching his head.

"I see your point, good luck," Hayley replied, praying that all would go well as she watched Michael leave.

Kira arrived at the warehouse with all the former rangers in tow. The White Ranger cackled devilishly as he spotted them.

"You think you can defeat me, Purple Ranger?" he crooned, tilting his head to the side.

"Ugh," Kira let out. "Will you stop? Last time you ran away, remember?"

The White Ranger stopped for a moment as if he was reflecting on something. And then he began to cackle again.

"Just come at me now. Watch what I do to you!" he bellowed.

"With pleasure," she replied confidently.

Just as Mike reached his destination, Zeltrax popped out of nowhere. The black ranger groaned.

"You again?!" he cried out.

"What an unexpected pleasure," Zeltrax drawled in a superior voice. "I suppose sometimes it just is black and white!"

"We've gotta stop meeting like this!" Michael exclaimed.

After Michael defeated Zeltrax, the latter retreated. His morpher beeped.

"We've got this situation under control, Dad," Conner claimed. "How are you doing over there?"

"I ran into Zeltrax but I'm on it now!" he replied, running down the stairs of the isolated factory. 'This place really should have elevators!'

The black ranger sighed when he finally found the egg but something wasn't quite right. As he got a better look at the egg, he realised it wasn't just any dinozord egg but a white one.

"Doctor M, we have the egg and it hatched. I've managed to take control of it and Hayley believes it's a spinozord," Kira informed. Michael sighed in relief and was about to respond, but Kira continued. "But there's something strange. The White Ranger just left... he didn't even taunt me, he just left in the middle of the fight. It's not like him..."

Michael hardly had time to process what happened when The White Ranger himself teleported right in front of the egg and started speaking, "There you are, I've been waiting for you..."

Before he could even ask what was going on, the egg hatched and the building started to shake. Realising that the factory was going to cave in on itself, the black ranger quickly made it outside.

He turned around and to his horror, a massive dragozord emerged from the debris. "I don't believe it! It's a dragozord!" he spluttered. They had been fooled. The White Ranger had won.

When Kim saw a white dragozord emerge from the isolated factory, she immediately knew what had happened. The White Ranger had played them. Knowing that another attempt on the white dinozord egg would be made, he switched it with another dinozord egg which was the one that Kira would probably find. Which meant that Mike had gone after the dragozord egg and had obviously failed his mission.

The White Ranger leapt onto the dragozord and started showing off as per usual. "Dragozord, show these fools what you can do!" He then jumped off and the dragozord stood there, flapping its wings about, scattering large chunks of debris everywhere. Due to the force of its wing flaps, smaller buildings started to unravel and cars were hurled around as if they were mere toys.

The Thundersaurus megazord itself was forced to take several steps back to avoid being hit.

"Hey! No need to get crazy!" Conner yelled. Down below, civilians were thrown into a frenzy as they scampered around looking for cover. The dragozord lifted itself into the air and hovered menacingly in front of the megazord. It then launched itself 200 feet into the air before flying directly towards the megazord. As it approached them, it spun around horizontally, causing serious damage when it repeatedly hit the Thundersaurus megazord.

Without thinking properly, Michael released the stegozord so as to help the rangers. However, the White Ranger had another plan in mind.

"I was hoping you'd do that," he admitted, waving his dagger about in the air. It emitted lasers which enveloped the stegozord. "Stegozord, you are under my command!"

Meanwhile, Kira and the others had finally made it to the crime scene. The rangers watched on in devastation as the White Ranger formed the Dino Stegazord.

Michael reeled at his own stupidity. 'Now he's got his own megazord!'

"Why are you doing this?!" Kira hollered, strangely disappointed in the White Ranger although she didn't know why. "You're going too far! You're losing it!"

"No, you guys are the ones who are losing it. And you're losing it to me!"

In no time at all, the Thundersaurus megazord was dismantled and the trio of rangers fell to the ground.

"Guys!" Kira yelled, running up to her team.

"That was brutal," Kim commented, getting up with Tommy's help. She felt sparks when she touched him but she ignored it. Now was so not the time for romance.

"You're telling me," Ethan grumbled irritably as he was pulled up by Kira.

"We're fine," Conner told his father. "But our zords are seriously tweaked."

"That was low," Kira growled, glaring at the White Ranger's megazord. "Even for him."

"Since when do they have bad power rangers?" Ethan pondered aloud. Tommy looked at him.

"Since me," he replied. Ethan nodded, remembering the video they had watched when Michael had been missing.

"Now I'll take the rest of them!" the White Ranger claimed, raising his dagger.

"Umm, what did he just say?" Conner asked dumbly.

"He's gonna take the zords," Ethan muttered in response.

"Can he do that? I thought all of our zords were bonded to our DNA!" Kira exclaimed.

"Technically, your ranger powers are bonded to your DNA, not your zords," Michael explained. "But I'm not letting it happen." He started doing something on his morpher, making it beep.

"What are you doing?" Kira inquired, tilting her head.

Michael quickly glanced at her and then looked back at his morpher. "Trying to break the stegozord away!" Indeed, the Dino Stegazord did disassemble and the stegozord was quickly captured by Kira.

"You'll pay for that!" the White Ranger warned, before flying away.

"Good save Doctor M!" Ethan praised his mentor.

"Thanks, but the White Ranger still has an incredible amount of control over the stegozord," Mike replied, before turning to his only female student. "Kira, what we talked about before, it's about time you started considering it."

Kira nodded. In order to keep the stegozord, she'd have to make it part of her own megazord.

"Well, that was like the worst day ever," Conner sighed, as he and the others sat in his dad's underground lab. All of them were sore, bruised, and their moods were very low.

"Brutal," Ethan said, nodding in agreement.

"There's going to be a lot of days like this guys," Dr McKnight told them as he walked past them.

"Uh, what ever happened to the glass is half full?" Kira questioned, frowning at him.

"Sometimes it's not," he confessed, shrugging. "Sometimes it's half empty. But that's when the qualities that made you guys rangers get really important."

"You're right," Conner admitted, looking up at his dad. "But what can we do?"

"Go have a little fun," Michael answered, earning three very confused looks. "Ethan, there's a new game that came out this week, right?"

"I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I have no desire to go near a computer," Ethan stated sheepishly.

"I know what you mean; I haven't picked up my guitar in days," Kira divulged, crossing her arms.

"Go on, teacher's orders," the black ranger told them but no one moved from their spot. "Go." Finally, the teens got up and left. "They should enjoy themselves while they still can."

Kim nodded in agreement and Michael stared at her, expectantly.

"What?" she asked, stretching her arms.

"That means you as well."

Tommy smirked. "Kim gets restless when these things happen. She just can't relax," he told Michael, almost teasingly. Kim fought the urge to smile at the very true statement and so she turned to Michael.

"I still haven't forgiven you," she hissed, referring to Michael sending her out with alone with Tommy. Michael glanced at Hayley and shared a smile with her before turning his attention back to Kim.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Michael chirped, winking. Kim raised her eyebrow and looked over at Hayley, who was getting ready to go to her cybercafé.

"I wonder what'll happen if I let a certain something slip," Kim chimed, gesturing wildly towards the red-head. Michael went pale.

"You wouldn't," he mouthed pleadingly. Tommy felt relief wash over him. Up until now, he thought that even though Kim didn't have a thing for Michael, maybe he had a thing for her. But now he knew that wasn't true.

Hayley abruptly spun around to face her friends. She chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Honestly, you two are like the older version of Kira and Ethan!"

"Hey, I haven't seen Jason around much, is he even here?" Kim asked her ex-boyfriend, as they strolled through a park not far from Mike's.

"Oh yeah, that's because of... Kat," Tommy answered, almost forcing out the name.

"Kat?" Kim repeated, remembering her successor. She knew that Kat and Tommy briefly dated after she left for the games, but she hadn't known that they weren't on speaking terms. Surely, they couldn't have had a worse ending than herself and Tommy?

"Yeah, they're married." Kim came to the guilty realisation that she hadn't given Jason enough time. They used to be like siblings and now he was married and she had no idea. She didn't even get an invite!

"Oh yeah, now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing Kat at the reunion."

"Hmm... she didn't come cos she's really far into her pregnancy." Kim was taken aback.

"Oh my God! Jason's going to be a dad?!"

"Already is. This is their second," Tommy corrected her.

"Wow, a lot has happened in the past 11 years," Kim marvelled, her eyes wide in wonder. "But how come I didn't hear about any of this?"

"It was a secret wedding; a small and quick ceremony with just their families."

"Tommy. What aren't you telling me?" Kim implored, seeing the pain in his eyes.

"Let's just say that this was a month after she broke up with me for 'another guy'. Through answer machine."

"Oh," Kim uttered awkwardly, making an 'O' shape with her mouth. So that's why Tommy and Jason weren't as close as they used to be and she suspected that Kat's pregnancy wasn't the only thing that kept her from attending the reunion. "I'm sorry."

Poor Tommy. Both she and Kat left Tommy for another guy. Although Kat actually did leave Tommy for another guy - his best friend in fact - while she just pretended to. But the end result had been the same; they had both hurt him very deeply.

"What do you need to be sorry for? Kat and I aren't meant for each other," Tommy remarked. Then he glanced at her. "Plus I love someone else, don't I?"

Kim cursed her treacherous heart. Were those butterflies in her tummy right now? Really? She really couldn't let this happen again... She was just bad for him. She'd end up hurting them both. But she couldn't deny that the thought of accepting Tommy's feelings made her more than a little giddy. Like a schoolgirl with a crush. Still, she forced herself to say what she had to.

"No, Tommy, not again," she refused, breaking eye contact. "It would be wrong."

Before Tommy could protest, Kimberly quickened her pace, leaving him behind.

When Kira couldn't bear to pretend everything was okay, she decided to head back to Conner's house. There was too much on her mind. She hardly saw Trent anymore and every time she made plans, he just blew her off. It's like their relationship was over before it even started. He was acting so distant and cryptic like he was hiding something from her. Had he met someone else? Even if it was like that, they weren't really dating, so why would he keep something like that from her?

Besides Trent, she was also worried about the White Ranger. She didn't know why but he annoyed her more than any other villain ever had. She couldn't stop herself from feeling something akin to familiarity when she saw him, which was bizarre in itself. Why on earth did he matter to her more than he should? He was really throwing her off her game, so much to the point that she started to doubt whether she could handle her own megazord or not.

"Hey," Kira greeted, walking over to the black ranger who was sitting in front of the main computer.

"Kira," her teacher spoke, slightly surprise in his tone.

"Yeah, that whole kid having fun thing is really tough when there's a certain evil psycho running around," she moaned. Mike couldn't help but nod in understanding.

"Should've known you would have a tough time with that," he admitted feebly.

"She's not the only one," Ethan mumbled, appearing beside her. Before Tommy could say anything, the alarm went off and a giant monster appeared on the screen.

"Oh great, hope Conner and Kim aren't having too much fun!" Mike commented, sitting back in his chair. The alarm went off again and his eyes widened in shock as he saw his morphed son laying on the ground.

"Hey, Dad, I'm in trouble," the red ranger exclaimed, right before dodging the white ranger's foot.

"Hang on, son. I'll send you some backup."

"I'm on it," Ethan declared, determined to help his friend.

"Kira, I think it's time," Mike told his student. She nodded and quickly moved into morphing stance, along with Ethan.

"Let's do it!" Mike called.

"Dino Thunder Power Up, Hah!"

While Ethan rode his raptor cycle toward the gorge, Kira and Michael ran over to Mesogog's newest creation.

"You ready?" Michael inquired, calling on his brachiozord.

"Yeah," Kira responded nervously, peering up at the inglo-pod; a half dinosaur, half eye monster. She rolled her eyes at how eccentric Mesogog's gang with creating their monsters.

"Auxillary zords, online. Stegozord!" The stegozord leapt out of the brachiozord.

"Pteranozord!" Kira called. As soon as said zord came out, Kira jumped into it. Taking a deep breath, she took control of the orb in the pteranozord and merged it with the stegozord. Michael watched in amazement as the Dino Steganozord was formed.

"Spinozord!" Almost immediately after being called by Michael, the small and orange spiky zord hopped out of the bigger black zord. Kira steadily merged the spinozord with her megazord, providing herself with an axe-like weapon.

The purple ranger then proceeded to thrash Inglo-Pod until it was destroyed.

After fighting the White Ranger and unlocking his Super Dino Mode, Conner found himself lying on the ground in pain, unable to move.

"You put up a pretty good fight," the White Ranger asserted, picking up his dagger which he had thrown on the ground earlier. He sauntered over towards the red ranger, holding his dagger out threateningly. "But now it's over!" Conner tried to push himself up but failed and hit the ground again. And then came his most unlikely saviour.

Mesogog and Zeltrax dropped from the sky and approached the pair of rangers.

"Don't let me interrupt!" Mesogog warbled in his usual creepy voice.

"Who are you?" the White Ranger demanded. Conner looked between the two villains in shock. Didn't they know each other?

"I am... Mesogog!" said creature drawled.

"I can't believe you two haven't met! You have so much in common! And here starts the greatest love story of all time!" Conner mocked, finally managing to stand up. His efforts were in vain when Zeltrax sent a laser attack his way for opening his mouth.

"Do not speak unless spoken to!" Mesogog ordered as Conner landed on the wrong side. The villain then looked at the other ranger. "Now, we have some business!"

"I have no business with you," the White Ranger stated unabashedly.

"I'll do you a deal," Mesogog insisted, ignoring the White Ranger's indifferent remark. "I'll help you defeat the rest of the power rangers and you can be one of my subjects when I rule the planet!"

"I'll take a pass on that!" the White Ranger outright rejected Mesogog's offer. "Dragozord, online!" He bounced onto his dragozord. "I'm out of here!" And then he flew off. Mesogog and Zeltrax immediately focussed their attention on Conner.

"Shall I finish him, Master?" Zeltrax implored, pointing his sword at the red ranger.

"No. Our new friend seems to have a fascination with the red one. I'll let him live in the hopes that he will lead us to him once again!" Mesogog claimed.

"Very well, my lord." And then the pair walked off and disappeared.

"Conner!" Ethan cried upon seeing him, writhing in pain on the ground. He stopped his raptor cycle, hopped off and bounded towards his friend. Kim followed suit.

"Ethan! Kim!"

"Conner!" Ethan repeated, helping him up. "Are you okay?!"

"I think so," the red ranger replied, panting. "Just so you know; good guys do not wear white!" Ethan couldn't help but guffaw.

"Hey, watch that mouth of yours! Tommy was the white ranger once!" the yellow ranger teased, pretending to be offended on Tommy's behalf. Conner just rolled his eyes before getting hit with a sudden thought.

"Hey, what took you so long to get here anyway?"

"Tyrannodrones!" Ethan murmured. Conner nodded and then looked at Kim for her explanation.

"That... and other things," was her answer.

Conner nodded and Ethan carefully led him towards his raptor cycle when the trio heard a familiar loud screeching cry. They gasped in horror as they watched the White Ranger form the Dino Stegazord.

"He likes living on the wild side, doesn't he?" Kim groaned irritably, shock filling her as another one of Mesogog's monsters - Angor - appeared a couple of feet from the White Ranger's megazord.

"Hey, they're fighting each other!" Conner exclaimed, watching the battle tensely. Michael and Kira joined the trio.

"Hey!" Kira greeted, slapping Conner's arm.

"We got here as soon as we could!" Michael told them, before watching the battle that was taking place across the gorge.

"Oh, so this was his great plan! He must be crazy!" Kira breathed, her head spinning with confusion.

"What happened? I thought you had the stegozord?" Kim inquired, totally bewildered by the day's events.

"I did! I defeated the inglo-pod, using my megazord for the first time. Just as we were putting the stegozord away, that maniac showed up out of the blue and stole it again," Kira elaborated bitterly, watching the battle with disgust.

"That's got to hurt!" Conner commented as the White Ranger went all in for the kill.

"Woah!" was Ethan's response.

"Ow!" Kira groaned, witnessing the Dino Stegozord destroy the monster with some sort of epic laser power.

"I don't get it," Kira started, as all of the rangers - current and former - paced the lab. "One minute the white ranger's fighting us. Then the next he's blowing up Mesogog's freak."

"Whoever he is, he could definitely use an anger management course," Ethan quipped, shrugging. For once, he was being serious. He desperately wanted to decode the White Ranger... before he destroyed them.

"So, Dad, what was that whole super dino power thing?" Conner asked. He had filled all the others in on what happened during his battle with the White Ranger, intriguing the fellow Dino rangers. It didn't seem to faze the former rangers, for they themselves had gone through a similar process before.

"Look, you guys have only begun to tap into your full potential," Dr McKnight answered.

"I like the sound of that," Ethan commented, grinning.

"I'm going to the warehouse to get that fossil finder we left," Conner announced.

"No, I'll do it, get some rest. Kira, Ethan, head home and do the same," Tommy waved him off.

"Thanks," the red ranger nodded, turning around and walking his friends to the door. "Still don't know if Trent's alright... I left him a message."

"I'm sure he's fine," Kira told her friend, trying to convince herself more than him. "I'll check in with him." She doubted she would; she hadn't been round his in ages, the reason being that he always answered her calls saying he was busy. Even when she did see him, he was always in a hurry to leave. Kira and Ethan exited the McKnight house, blissfully unaware of the events that were about to unfold.
