At the Wood County Hospital Tobias was fast asleep. A day has gone by since Michael's freedom from the White Ranger's control. Tobias had to get treated right away from his exhaustion and a bunch of physical issues he had. His body was quick to heal and the doctors had thought that he was going to be about a week before they could discharge him. But the next day they found out most of his body had recovered from his number of injuries. Zach and Xander were being treated by Brett at their hideout. Michael was getting treated in the room next to Tobias's.
Tobias slowly opened his eyes to see the empty hospital room. He looked to his night stand to see a Walmart bag with a bunch of gifts wrapped inside of it and the Get Well card lying on top of it. There was a vase with a variety of flowers in it from Brett, Zach and Xander. Tobias had parts of his body in pain that had still not recovered from his fight. "Ugh I'm so tired." He said as he tried to move around.
The nurse walked into the room, "How are you doing?"
"I'm tired but I'm doing fine." Tobias said to him.
"You had all of us worried when we brought you in. It was very weird for us." The nurse said.
"Do you know when I'll be discharged? I don't feel in pain that much anymore." Tobias asked.
"Well we were thinking in a week, but you seem to be recovering at a quick rate. We might keep you here for one more day and get your energy back up then we might let you go. I'm going to go get you your lunch, so just relax and enjoy some tv." The nurse said as she left the room.
A short time had passed as Tobias heard his door open and Michael had snuck into his room.
"Dad what are you sneaking around for?" Tobias asked.
"The police are here. When I got your mother from the hospital I…The White Ranger had killed a few people and my face was all over the cameras." Michael said.
"Wait…I forgot! My mom where is she? Is she in the hospital as well?" Tobias asked worried.
"I don't know. But right now I have to leave otherwise I'll get caught. Maybe when things die down we can try and start over. I know it's going to be hard for you to transition that thought with everything that's happened but I really do want to make it up to you son. You freed me from that hell. I really wish I could do something to show how much I'm sorry for ruining your life." Michael said back.
"Dad…I already have. Once we found out that you were trapped I already started that transition. I would be up late into the night and thinking about at work, trying to figure out ways to break you free without killing you. But nothing I thought of could work. In our fight I was prepared to kill you because I didn't want you to have to go through that anymore. But then Travis showed up and we were able to take down the source of the problem. I can try and talk to Brett and see if we can get you to stay at our hideout." Tobias said.
"Look. The Dino Gem on my wrist has been inactive. I still have my powers, but I'm just worried about going berserk again. I can still transform but with everything going on I'm not sure if I can again. I don't want to have a moment where I let the beast out. I'm not going to be of any help to you, son. The police are here and I'm prepared to stay shut behind bars the rest of my life. The real culprit is the White Ranger, but I must take responsibility for my weakness in letting him run rampant for so long. I love you son, and I know you can bring Mesogog down for goo—" Michael was interrupted as police came into the room with weapons drawn.
"FREEZE! HANDS IN THE AIR! MOVE OR WE SHOOT!" The police said as they swarmed around him. A man that was the sheriff for the town walked inside with handcuffs dangling.
"Michael Louis Edge, you are under arrest for 64 murder cases, 12 assaults, 5 break and entering, 2 property damages, and 1 Arson. Put your hands behind your head and kneel to the ground." The Head Sheriff said. Michael did not even attempt to fight back as he kneeled down.
"How do I tell them that he was being controlled by his Dinogem? He didn't willingly commit those crimes! I can super speed us out of the hospital. Yeah I should do that, I can't lose my father! Not like this." Tobias thought but Michael spoke up.
"Son, listen to me. You have a duty you need to fulfill. I don't want to you to be round up with me. You have a brighter future than I do. You have the power to change this world, so don't worry about me. Go live your life son and remember that I will always love you." Michael said as he got cuffed and was escorted out of the room. Tobias began having tears run down his face.
"This isn't right. I didn't fight so hard to save my dad just to lose him again…" Tobias said as he began crying. He had cried for a few minutes and then saw something outside of his window. Michael was rushed out of the room and sent outside as Tobias stared at his father being walked towards a police car. The entire parking lot was covered in police cars, there was even a SWAT team stationed outside. Michael was put inside the SWAT vehicle and Tobias could feel his heart further sink as everyone got into their cars and began driving off. But as they did an Invisi-Portal opened up and out came Mesogog.
"Damn it!" Tobias said as he ripped the needles out of his arm and super sped downstairs to the scene. Once he got outside and came to a halt he saw a police car flying in his direction as there was two cops inside. Tobias quickly sped into the car and grabbed the two cops and got them to safety before zooming towards Mesogog and punched him in the gut, but there was no reaction of his strike. Mesogog had them grabbed his wrist and bend it sideways and then lifted up the arm as Tobias made a slight bow to him.
"Ahhh Michael's son. Our Red Ranger, how lovely for you to join us. I guess coming here was not as much of a waste as I thought. I was going to be searching for you after I took in your father. I had something I wanted you two to see before I ended your miserable lives." Mesogog said to him.
The police force behind him had their guns out and pointing at Mesogog, but couldn't shoot because of Tobias being in the way. "I suggest you give me Michael Edge. If you don't I will snap this human's head off." Mesogog said as his veins ripped out of his arm and wrapped around Tobias's neck. He then lifted him up off the ground as Tobias tried to break free from his hold.
"DON'T! HE'LL KILL…THE…BOTH OF…US.." Tobias called out.
But the police force didn't listen as they brought out Michael still handcuffed. Michael saw his son dangling in the air.
"MESOGOG! LET MY SON GO!" Michael called out.
Mesogog then stretched out his other hand as it lashed out more veins that stretched all the way out and wrapped around him. Mesogog pulled him back.
"Thank you for your cooperation. I'm done here." Mesogog said as an Invisi-Portal appeared behind him and he slowly walked backwards into it as Tobias was struggling to break free and the last thing he and Michael saw was the police force standing there powerless to even fight back.
