Author's Note: I DO NOT own Power Rangers that credit goes to the Gods of Saban but this story is mine, I just borrowed their characters (and the main story line) and added some of my own thoughts to it.
-The Pink Dino Gem
Chapter Six
As Mesogog walked towards the prisoner and lifted up his head, Trent shot a cold stare at Mesogog. "Anton Mercer's son….," said Mesogog. "Well…this is a bit of oversight on my part…I should have looked into him as an option. As Mesogog walked around Trent, Trent was trying to figure out how to loosen his chain. "All right, you freak-" started Trent. But Zeltrax stopped him in midsentence, "How dare you!" said Zeltrax as he hit Trent in the stomach with the butt of his sword. Trent fell on one knee but raised himself up and continued, "You got a good look, now how about loosening these chains?" "Not yet," said Mesogog. "I still want you to accept my offer to join my team, as we bring back the era of the dinosaurs." "Sorry," said Trent, "I'm not interested in bring back some fossils, what makes you think I be considering your offer?' "I was hoping the White Dino Gem would influence you decision." "Why would a white rock influence me?" "You still don't get it?" said Mesogog as he grabbed Trent's wrist and held up his bracelet. "This Dino Gem," said Mesogog; "is the Evil White Dino Gem. It has no trouble turning the purest souls evil. Are you telling me that you haven't felt its influence on you yet? Has it made you do anything you didn't want to do?" Trent remained silent. 'Maybe the boy doesn't understand the question," said Elsa as both Trent and Mesogog looked at her. Elsa held up a remote on a monitor and clicked a button. The video on the monitor was of the White Ranger fighting the Yellow Ranger.
"Dino Thunder, Power Up" said Kira. As Kira turned into the Yellow Ranger and started attacking the White Ranger. "Ptera Grips," said the Yellow Ranger as she stuck the White Ranger. "Are you finished yet?" said the White Ranger. "Cause I am." The White used his speed attack and quickly attacked the Yellow Ranger repeatedly until she demorphed. The video ended with the White Ranger carrying the unconscious Kira off.
"To repeat my master's question," said Elsa. "Did you want to purposely attack your girlfriend or was that the work of the Evil White Dino Gem?" Trent kept silent, while he was quietly struggling to break the chains. "But then again", continued Elsa, "why would the Evil White Ranger go easy on your sister?" Trent stopped struggling for a second as Elsa clicked another button on the monitor to see the White Ranger battle with Erica.
The White Ranger started off the fight with a speed attack but before the White Ranger could attack, Erica blocked his Drago Sword and countered with a punch. The White Ranger took a few steps back and attacked with his laser gun and shot out half a dozen shots on Erica which Erica dodged left and right. The fight was at the standstill for about five minutes until the Red and Blue Ranger relieved Erica of the fight.
"You must have been in control the whole time," said Elsa. "But why would you go brutally hard on one opponent while holding back power on the other opponent?" "Elsa," said Mesogog. "Check the energy reading on everyone fighting in both those videos." Elsa clicked a few button and the monitor showed a chart:
W.R. vs. Y.R.
W.R.= 100 Y.R.=50
W.R. vs. E.M
W.R.=80 E.R.= 80
Trent was reading the chart in his head, W.R is me, Y.R. is Kira, and so that mean E.M is Erica Mercer. Why give Erica Anton's last name? "That's impossible," said Zeltrax. "How can a human be more powerful than the Yellow Ranger?" 'Because," said Mesogog, "This human was fighting her twin. It's a natural phenomenon, when twins fight each other their powers are neutralized. In this case, 20 point of energy was taken from the White Ranger and given to his twin. But then, if that's the case, she should be at 60 at a normal level…." Mesogog stared at the screen for some time. "Zeltrax, bring the girl to me. I want to have a chat with her." Trent felt a surge of energy. "STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Trent screamed as a white energy swallowed him. As the White Ranger, he attacked Mesogog, Zeltrax, and Elsa with Laser Arrows. By the time the smoke cleared the White Ranger disappeared. "Forget the girl," said Mesogog. "Return the White Ranger to me NOW!" As Zeltrax and Elsa left the lab, Trent was camouflaged in the back of Mesogogs' lab. "I'm too weak to maintain the Ranger form. I'll stay out of sight until that monster leaves. "It will only be a matter of time before he returns; I'll just have to be patient," said Mesogog. Mesogog didn't even took two steps forward until he was raging with pain, "Not now, don't you dare come out yet!" In front of Trent's eyes, Trent saw Mesogog transform into his father, Anton Mercer. Anton fell on one knee and said out loud. "If Trent doesn't go after you for this Mesogog, I will! Stay the hell away from her, you have two choices: go after Trent or go after Erica but not both! I will stop you using every bit of energy I've got, do you understand me!" Anton picked himself up and walked out of the lab. As soon as Anton left the lab, Trent de-camouflaged in shock and walked out of the lab.
At Hayley's Cyberspace Café…
"Can you believe it Devin, that mean producer wants me to get real footage of the Power Rangers, how am I going to do that?" said Cassidy. "Cass, aren't you the one who volunteered to get him footage?" said Devin. "That doesn't matter….now how are we going to get those guys on film?" As Cassidy and Devin were talking Steven walked in the door and sat next to Devin. "Hey man, how it go with Erica?' said Devin, "We could use some good news." "Beautiful," said Steven. "We just talked about stuff and then she asked me to drop her off at the construction site, and then, I just spent the past few hours just wandering around…stunned. I'm still in shock over what happened." "Good job, man" said Devin. "Well at least somebody had a great day!" Cassidy snapped as she took a sip of her Decaf Latte. "What her problem?" asked Steven. "I'll explain later," said Devin. As that Erica walked into the Café, pointed at Steven, and said loudly so everyone turned their head. "The guy whose aiming to be my boyfriend, step outside please." Erica walked out the café while everyone was staring at Steven, Devin, and Cassidy. "What are you waiting for?" said Cassidy, "Go after her!" "Right," said Steven as he raced after her. Devin looked at Cassidy and raised his eyebrow. "What?" said Cassidy, "Everyone is staring at us, it's embarrassing."
Steven ran out the Café towards Erica and Kira. "Alright, I don't have a lot of time, I need to get Kira home, can I borrow your car?" Steven looked at her, Kira was pale and breathing heavily. "Are you sure she needs to go home, I would send her to a hospital…" "I don't need a hospital," said Kira, "I just need to go home." "Ok, fine," said Seven. "I give you my keys on one condition." 'What kind of condition?" "I want you to drive back to the Café after your done dropping her off and share a smoothie with me." "Ok, fine, I'll share a smoothie, can I get the keys now?" "Wait, you will?" Erica nodded. "Here you go. WOOT!" said Steven as he tossed the keys to Erica.
Kira gave Erica Dr. Oliver's address as her address. "So Kira," Erica started as she was driving. "Did Trent manage to talk to you yet?" Kira looked at Erica surprised. How do I explain Trent to Erica? "We had a talk…" said Kira. "But Trent had some anger issues. He started going off at me about his issues with Anton and stuff…..and when I got tired of hearing him I walked away." Erica sighed. "I'm sorry," said Kira. "It's not your fault," said Erica. 'Maybe that was all bottled and Trent was waiting for the right person to tell everything to. I guess you weren't the right person." "Right," said Kira. "The thing is…" started Erica. "It's easy for you, your just a friend, you don't even have to like Trent, but I'm his sister. I have to like him even when I want to kill him. So anyway… after you walked away from Trent, that when you encountered the White Ranger right?" Kira nodded. "Okay, at least Trent wasn't attacked by that Psycho White guy. Thank goodness." Kira sighed, "I'm sorry Erica, but I can't bring myself to tell you the truth." Erica drove up to Dr. Oliver's house, "1992 Valencia Road, here you are Kira." "Thanks, I'll see you at school tomorrow." Kira left the car and ran inside the house. "And I thought this area was in the middle of nowhere," said Erica as she turned the car around and headed back to the Café.
At the Ranger's Base, Dr. Oliver was watching the monitor watching Elsa and Zeltrax capturing the White Ranger. "This could be very good for us, or very bad," said Dr.O. Dr. Oliver heard the door opening and saw Kira coming down the stairs. "Kira," said Dr. Oliver as he ran toward her, "Are you alright?" Kira was on the verge of tears, "It's Trent….." said Kira as she collapsed into Dr. Oliver arms.
