Brett tossed his key up in the air as it spun sideways. He grabbed it in midair.
"Dinothunder! Power Up!"
He outstretched his wrist in a straight line from his shoulder as he put the key into the slot and turned it. He then spun his hand clockwise until his morpher went around in a circle. Once he did he backflip into the air as his armor started covering his entire body from the morpher. Once he landed his helmet with a gold outline like the mouth appeared. In the middle of his helmet was a horn like shape similar to Michael's.
Brett's Ranger Form had a gold footprint symbol on his chest. He had a white neck with short shoulder pads that pointed out and were colored gold with a black line in the form of a triangle. His arms had gold plates instead of claw marks like everyone else's. He had black gloves with a gold wrist armor. His belt was gold with a staff hooked to it. His legs were black with gold plates going down to his leg and having black boots that went up about a few inches over the ankles with a gold line that went around them. His weapon in his holster had a handle and was sword like. The handle had a gold and black brachiosaurus on it that also could be used to protect his hands in a fight. Above the handle was a dial that had different symbols on it and then a long white blade with a gold tip at the end.
"Let's see how great you actually are." Brett said as he moved pretty fast than the other three. Michael super sped towards him as the two had their weapons drawn. Their weapons crossed blades with each other. Michael's weapon glowed a bright gold as it turned into a lasso that roped around Brett's throat. Michael then raised his foot and kicked him back as he tried to attempt at strangling him from where he stood.
"You were foolish to fall for that obvious trap." Michael said.
"I wanted to be in this trap from the beginning." Brett said.
Michael was confused at what he said as Brett began to wrap his arm around the gold band. He then pulled the rope very hard towards him as he caused Michael to stumble forward towards him. Brett then quickly sidestepped around Michael as he wrapped the rope around his throat. With control over the rope, Brett was able to make enough room between the binding and his throat to put his hand in between and get free. He then pulled tighter on the rope as Michael began suffocating.
"Tell me how it feels having this done to you." Brett said.
"I'll admit, you are a lot more battle…Intelligent…Agh!" Michael said having a hard time breathing.
Brett then started walking backwards not letting his hold weaken. Brett then moved in front of Michael as he raised his weapon and slashed at him before roundhouse kicking him in the chest letting go of the rope. Michael fell onto his back as Brett came running up and jumped into the air with his blade in hand coming down to impale Michael in the chest. But Michael quickly recovered quick enough as he rolled to the side and reverted his blade back to normal. Brett quickly stood up as he super sped at Michael and they slashed at each other's blades before super speeding to another part of the battlefield slashing at each other once more. Michael came to do this dance once more but instead of slashing at Brett's sword again he, at last second threw the blade over Brett's head as he ducked under Brett's slash and grabbed his weapon. Michael then turned around to slash at Brett's exposed back but Brett stood there as he put his weapon behind his back and blocked every attack before spinning around and slashing at Michael.
"I'm very impressed. You're making this fight very enjoyable." Michael said praising him.
"Dead End Swarm."
Michael then wrote the words, "Dead End" in the air as they became arrows that started zooming towards Brett. Brett took his weapon as he gave it an inverted grip and turned the dial to a wind symbol.
"Brachio Staff! Wind Strike!"
A green orb formed around Brett and then dispersed towards Michael pushing back all of his arrows back at him. Michael got him as he spun sideways in the air. Brett then turned his dial again as the arrow landed on a fire symbol. The blade then became engulfed in flames and he slashed at the air with his inverted grip.
"Brachio Staff! Flame Strike!"
A curve blade of fire zoomed towards Michael and he lifted his blade sideways to try and stop the attack but missed at the last second as he got emerged into an explosion. Smoke filled the areas around him and when they began to die down you could see Michael struggling to get up.
"Hahahaha! This is truly a beautiful match." Michael said laughing while groaning in pain.
Then Michael stood up and when he did Brett noticed that his sword was nowhere around him. "But this is the end for you Brett." He said as the sword appeared high in the sky above the other Rangers. "You see while you guys were focused on me in that explosion I threw my blade to hide in the grass next to you guys. I can control the blade without holding it and now you will lose your precious students" Michael said as the blade created a bunch more arrows that were getting ready to rain down upon them.
The Rangers were trying to move but the arrows just kept forming in a wider radius as Brett grabbed the dial and turned it into a circle symbol. He then raised his sword and stabbed it into the ground.
"Brachio Staff! Energy Orb!"
A giant orb of energy formed underneath the Rangers as the arrows came flying down to them. The orb protected them from the attack. Brett then turned the dial to an earth mountain like symbol while leaving the blade in the ground.
"Brachio Staff! Earth Strike!"
He then grabbed the sword as he ran it in the ground towards Michael. Michael commanded the arrows to come at Brett who ignored the oncoming attack. Pieces of rock formations began forming from the cracks left behind and he slashed it at Michael with part of his legs became encased in earth after the slash. The arrows came quickly behind him as Brett jumped backwards at the perfect timing as the arrows struck Michael. Brett then landed on his feet as both of them began to glow a black light and he ran up Michael.
"Jurassic Shockwave!"
His entire leg glowed black as he took his right leg and kicked across his jaw which put a lot of force behind it jerking Michael's body to the side. He then put his foot down and then lifted it up to kick across his opposite jaw and when he put it down he lifted his left glowing leg and kicked him under his jaw before all of his glowing energy became focused on his heel part. He then slammed his foot onto his mouth part of his helmet which upon impact all of that glowing power shot down like a laser beam that coursed through Michael's entire body and a circle was made around him with the footprint symbol on his chest. Michael was slammed down into the ground with all of the power forcing him inches into the ground. The footprint symbol faded away and when it did Michael reverted back to his human form. He was greatly damaged and unable to move from the ground. The orb that protected the Rangers vanished as well as the arrows as Brett raised his weapon above Michael's head.
"It's game over for you Michael." Brett said.
"It sucks you know. I haven't even fully tapped into all of my power and it will now en-." Michael stopped talking as he started violently shaking on the ground. He started screaming in pain as he had blood coming out of his mouth, nose and eyes. He stopped violently thrashing about as he began breathing heavily.
"Wh-Wh-Where am I? Why am I on the ground?" He said sounding confused at his current situation.
"You're really going to play stupid now, are you?" Brett said as he raised his weapon up ready to impale him through his skull. He came down with his blade but not before Tobias super sped up and pushed Brett to his side. "Tobias! What are you doing?!" Brett said irritated.
Tobias was standing right in front of Michael with a defensive stance.
"Dad? Is that really you right now?" Tobias asked.
Brett and the other Rangers were confused at what he said. Michael looked up at Tobias. "S-S-Son?! What's going on? Where am I?" He said so confused.
"Tobias you need to step away from him! It's just a trick to lower all of our guards. He has to be killed now before he gets any stronger. You saw how he almost killed you and put you in that state you're i-"
"I DON'T CARE! THAT'S STILL MY FATHER!" Tobias screamed.
"Power Down." Brett said as he reverted back to his human form. "You understand letting him run free will cause more people to die right?" He asked him. Tobias looked over at his father in pain on the ground.
"Son what's going on? Please tell me!" Michael asked scared to death. Tobias bent down on the ground as he held his hand out to his father.
"What is the last thing you remember dad?" Tobias asked him.
"I-I-I remember being in a laundromat with a giant hole in my hand. I was bleeding out and someone helped get me to the hospital and patch me up. Before that I remember picking up a white stone and then everything around me went black." Michael said as he looked up at Tobias. "Son who did that to you?" He asked.
Tobias had tears run down his face as he didn't know how to feel. "You don't know what you've done to me don't you? What you did to mom? You don't even remember harming me just minutes ago. You don't even remember you were hell bent on killing me." Tobias said to him with his heart feeling like it was ripping.
"I did that all that to you?" He said to him horrified.
Michael then looked at his wrist to see the white gemstone. He then grabbed his head in pain, "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Michael yelled as loud as he could.
"Dad! What's wrong?! What's going on?!" Tobias said as he grabbed his wrist and when he did everything around him was pitch black and the only people around him was him, his dad, and the White Dino Killer kneeling on Michael's back with his blade next to his throat.
"It's time I took back your body." He said to Michael. Tobias then looked up at the Killer.
"You get away from my dad right now!" He said as he sped up to him. But when he did there was an invisible like wall that kept them apart. Tobias banged his fist on the wall. "DAD!" Tobias called out and his dad looked up at him.
"Save yourself son. I'm doomed forever by this power. I can't escape." He said to him with a tear running down his face.
"You! Let him go this instant! Give my father back to me!" Tobias said banging on the wall. The White Ranger walked up to the wall.
"I can't do that. Until your father is killed, I will never release my hold on him. I have bonded with his DNA and you know better than anyone that once a Dino Gem has bonded with its host, the only way to split them is death. Seeing as you guys have defeated me I'll let you in on a little secret. All of the pain I have dealt with you and your mother has been caused by my influence, not your father's. Your father doesn't even know everything he's done. But because you didn't end your father's precious life I will possess him again and continue to grow stronger. I will lay waste to you and your friends. I will kill all of your friends first and when I do I will have a one on one fight with you. You have the potential to become stronger Red Ranger. I will lay everything you love to waste at your feet. Slowly and surely, I will cause you to live in a world of despair that you will beg for me to kill you. When that day comes I will enjoy slicing the skin from your body. I am the purest evil that exists in everyone's hearts. My job is to exterminate the light in the world and make it all black." The White Ranger said to him. Tobias had an irritated look on his face as he watched the Ranger become a white mist and zoomed inside his father.
Tobias was brought back to the abandoned real estate with everyone else as his father's eyes became white. His dad open palmed his chest causing him to get flown backwards as he stood up off the ground.
"Thanks for defending me Tobias. I'll see you losers later." Michael said as he zoomed away. Zach and Xander ran towards Tobias as they helped him up.
"Tobias are you okay?!" Xander asked worried.
"You kind of zoomed out of it when you touched him. What happened?" Zach said. Brett then walked up to him as he pulled out some medical tape and wrapped it around Tobias's wounds.
"I guess I'm going to have to train you guys quicker to fight him." He said trying to calm himself down.
"I'm going to save you dad." Tobias said aloud.
"Um I don't think you saw how much of a psychopath your dad is Tobias." Xander questioned.
"The White Ranger isn't my father. He's controlling my father. My dad is being possessed by the white Dino Gem. You're right Brett I should've let you kill him. If I had, he would've been freed finally. I'm sorry for defending him." Tobias said beating himself up internally.
"It's okay. No matter what that is still your father regardless. How did you find out he's controlling him?" Brett asked finally finishing up his wrapping.
"When I touched the morpher I saw him standing over my father with a blade to his throat. He told me everything. I can't let my father be his prisoner anymore. I need to get stronger because I'm going to be the one to free him from that control." Tobias said with determination.
"But that would mean you uh uh have to kill your father…" Zach said stuttering again.
"There has to be away I can save him without resorting to that. But I don't know how yet. But I'm going to find a way." He said.
The pain Tobias was in began to finally affect him as he started reacting to it. "AGH! I don't know what lie I'm going to have to not come into work tonight. Tobias said worringly. Everyone began walking towards an Invisi-Portal that would take them back to their hideout. When he got there Tobias decided to walk home alone as Brett gave him an ice bag.
Zach and Xander felt that they wanted to be with Tobias on his trip back home. Once they left Brett's home, Brett went down stairs to work on the motorbikes. During his entire time of painting them he thought about what Tobias had said.
"He's controlling my father."
"If what Tobias said was true, then maybe we can break the gem's hold on him. Geez, just when I thought I figured more of this stuff out, the more questions I have. Either way, the Rangers are going to have to get pushed more than I was willing to push them. I could tell that the White Ranger was greatly holding back. He was doing so to check out my power but he wasn't fully prepared for what I could do." Brett thought. He then had another possible idea.
"What if he doesn't have access to all of his power? What if the longer he's in Ranger form the more control over his host is slipping away? If anything, this was his first transformation. It would mean that his host is not like us. What if his power is trying to control Michael for its own evil desires?" Brett thought.
