Mesogog was walking into a different part of his lair as he approached Zeltrax who had just gotten back from a long quest. Zeltrax was holding what looked like a shield with the face of a dinosaur. The shield was covered in stone looking more like a rock formation than the shield it was representing. "It was just as the White Ranger had in his notes. A powerful weapon of destruction, it's apparently called The Shield of Triumph." Zeltrax said.

"Ahhh yes. A shield that is to have a massive amount of power. This shield was created by an unknown power that may far exceed my own. Its power can be just what I need to finish the Rangers instantly." Mesogog said as he inspected the shield thoroughly. "Zeltrax, how do we free it from it's stony imprisonment?" Mesogog asked.

"Apparently it will become unsealed by the one who shows true strength and promise. It will not react to me, but I think once it is unsealed anyone of us could extract all of the power from it and use it against the Power Rangers." Zeltrax said.

Mesogog lifted his claw up as an energy wave shot out towards the shield. He was doing his best to transfer some of his power to it in hopes of breaking its seal but was having no effect on it whatsoever. "It would seem that we aren't the ones to break the seal. Judging by the look of this shield, it would seem only a Power Ranger can awaken the power inside."

"We should capture the Power Rangers and force them to awaken the power within the shield. But getting all of them would prove a bit of a problem." Zeltrax said.

"The Red Ranger and the White Ranger might just be suitable enough for this. Plus the two just finished fighting Ka-Ching. They should be worn out. Zeltrax you have my permission to take the Tyrannodrones and capture the two Rangers. Once you have done so we'll lock them up and force them to fight each other. Once they have fought each other and one of them activates the shield we'll wipe the both of them out." Mesogog commanded with a snarling tone.

"But those two are father and son. How are we going to get them to fight each other?" Zeltrax questioned.

"Even families have a weak spot. It doesn't matter how good your bond with the other is, there's always a crack that can be ripped open with any bond. I also know exactly what that crack is as well." Mesogog turned around with his claws touching the other behind his back as he walked away from Zeltrax. An evil and creepy smile spread across his face.

Tobias had just gotten off work and was not only tired from the job and fighting Ka-Ching, but tired of how his boss had treated him for being late. "Tobias can you please step into my office." Kalyn said.

She had long red hair she kept in a ponytail. She had an oval shaped like face with squinty eyes. She stood taller than him while wearing a red and black striped uniform and black pants. She had him close the door to the small office.

"Yes?" Tobias asked rubbing his eyes.

"You have never been late to work on my shifts before." She said staring at him.

"Yes I said I was sorry for running late. I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen again." He said to her.

"It damn well better not." She said with some anger.

"Wait huh?" Tobias said as he noticed the change in her tone.

"You've been here for about a year with perfect attendance and you know we are understaffed. This is entirely inexcusable of you being late. You show up to work feeling drain, you put everyone behind, you made our timers go way up, and because of that I could lose my job. I'm not going to lose my job because you want to be a slacker at work!" She said with an intimidating voice.

"Wait I wasn't slacking I was doing my best with what little energy I had to get us through that lunch rush. Everyone was amazed at how fast I could move. I might've been a mess up when I started a year ago but none of the other managers have a problem with me. They are wanting me to be a manager because of how hard I work. You seem to be the only one with a problem with me." Tobias snapped.

"I just don't think someone like you should be working here as a manager!" She snapped back.

"Okay but why? What do I actually do that I can work on that can make me better? All the problems you have stated to have with me nobody else sees. So what is wrong with me?" Tobias asked.

"I just don't like your work ethic." She said.

"My work ethic? You mean how I bust my butt coming in on my days off? How I do multiple shifts and responsibilities at once? How I'm running different positions because the people we hire are pieces of crap that refuse to show up and yet we still keep them here?! How everyone is terrified of working with you because you out right call everyone a retard, slow, and get into their face yelling at them when they make a mistake instead of sitting here helping them get through their problems so they can avoid that mistake? During our shifts together I'm the one trying to help them where you seem to lack greatly in and you're our boss. Have you noticed that your shifts are the ones that lose people because of how you treat everyone here? Let's also talk about how at times I stay 2-4 hours over my shift accumulating overtime because I work hard for this store! The only thing you do is sandwich making and then sit in your office vaping for 20-30 minutes at a time while the rest of us struggle out here wishing we could get a break as well. But you have a problem with my work ethic?!" Tobias said enraged.

His boss was going to say something to him until the door to the office opened up and two employees stood behind him waiting to clock in for work spoke up, "Tobias is right. He does a lot more than you. He's busted his ass for us just about as much as a manager. You're only afraid of being replaced by him which is why you treat him more like crap than others here. The other managers have been thinking of finding someone better because they can't handle your behavior but need someone capable of replacing you. I head the General Manager say that the other day." A male employee said behind Tobias.

Kalyn got upset as she got out of her chair and shoved her way past Tobias and the other employees as she stormed outside of the building to get some fresh air. Tobias thanked the worker for backing him up as he let him inside the office to clock in and after the worker was done, Tobias clocked out.

"I can't help but feel like I really pushed my luck there. I'm just so tired and worn out from work and fighting Ka-Ching I just need to go lay down and get my head straight. Dad should be at home, maybe he can give me some advice on what I should do." Tobias thought as he was getting ready to clock out and leave.

Tobias went into the bathroom where he took off his shirt revealing a crap ton of bruises from his earlier fight finally forming on his body and with each bruised spot he could feel the soreness in his muscles. He grabbed a red baseball t-shirt and put it on. He took his work shirt and shoved it into his book bag as he walked out of the bathroom. Once he did he noticed all of the workers were gathered at the entrance to the building murmuring something. He quickly made his way to the door to see his boss in the middle of a bunch of Tyrannodrones that circled her. "Oh this is just great. I'm already hating today." He said as he opened the door. One of his workers grabbed him stopping him from going.

"Tobias what the hell are you doing?" A worker said.

Tobias rammed his back up against him causing him to let go, "I'm going to save her that's what!" He said as he rushed out the door. A Tyrannodrone raised its claw and went to slash at Kalyn as she backed up just enough to only get a cut on her arm. Her arm was bleeding badly and as another Tyrannodrone went in for another slash maneuver, Tobias quickly got in there as he did a rising block with his one arm under the Drones wrist. "Back off creep." He said as he shoved the Tyrannodrone back. Another one came to slash at him as Tobias dodged the attack and open palmed it in the face causing it to stumble backwards. He quickly grabbed the terrified Kalyn and looked for an opening to get her to safety. A Tyrannodrone came at them, "Bend down Kalyn like you're picking something up." He commanded. Scared and unsure what to do, she did as she was told. Tobias rolled over her back and kicked the Drone in the face and then dodged another slash attack by spinning around it. He grabbed the back of the head and tapping into his speed, snapped the neck causing it to disintegrate into dust. "Huh that's new." He thought.

Tobias couldn't use his dino power much as he thought it would give away his identity. An Invisi-Portal formed as Zeltrax appeared with his sword and shield at the ready. "Tobias you're coming with us." He said pointing his sword at him.

"Last I checked you weren't my parent Zeltrax." Tobias said as he rushed to grab Kalyn. He tapped into his dino speed just a tad but Zeltrax had shot out electricity from his blade and Tobias saw it would hit Kalyn as he got in the way. But his speed wasn't fast enough as he had bent down to grab her and the one of the bolts hit him in the back. He got sent flying as he smashed his back up against the wall of the restaurant. He tried to get back up onto his feet but quickly fell to the ground. "Damn it, this isn't good." He said. He tried to bring his Dino Gem to his face to call for the others but Zeltrax kicked him across the face causing him to black out immediately.

Mesogog was reading through the papers left by Michael's research and was intrigued at different sources of power he was finding. There were papers on Dino Eggs, the Shield, and a white cube that he was able to predate back during the Nazi's illegal experimentation. "A white cube?" He thought to himself. Mesogog immediately grabbed his head as he started having flashbacks of hearing some guards talking about a cube.

"The Fuhrer said that this cube could not only win the coming war, but give him enough power to control everything."

"It sounds like this cube might be worth searching for. A great power source that gives me control of everything and Michael seemed to have known of its location. If for some reason I can't kill the Power Rangers, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a backup plan." He snarled as he shifted through the papers.

There was a paper that said something about a hidden world. This world is generated by the power of this cube and that the only way this world could be accessed is when the balance of power is in danger. Michael had posted notes about how in this world metal dinosaurs roam acting as protectors of this world. The dinosaurs known as Zords respond to the call of those who wear the Dino Gems. The Zords are massive amounts of power and should they fall, the world will be erased and any threats in that world will be brought to the real one. Another way into this world is via the power of the Dino Gems. Amongst more scribbles Mesogog found a map that Michael had made of a special Invisi-Portal that could take you to this world without any power. "So a normal human could possibly cross to this world. If I find the location of this Portal I'll be able to possibly steal this power for myself. This is most intriguing. I'm almost at just enough power to travel outside of this worm hole. Once I do I'll grab this power for myself and the Power Rangers should they still be alive, will be no more."

A knock was made on the giant black steel door as Zeltrax came in holding Kalyn over his shoulders. "Sir I have captured the White and Red Ranger. They are locked up in the special holding cell on the other side of the lab. I had picked up a straggler on my way, what should I do with her?" He asked.

"If the Rangers don't cooperate with us, we'll use her as a motivation to get what we want. We'll kill her even if that's what it takes." Mesogog said as he walked to the holding cell where Tobias and Michael were located. Zeltrax followed as he grabbed chains to tie her up.

Tobias woke up in what seemed like a big cage. It was something you'd see in wrestling cage matches. Except this one must've been about size of a small parking lot. Across from him on the other side of the black space was Michael who was lying on the ground still unconscious. "…Dad…? Where the heck am I?" Tobias said as he felt the side of face sore. He got up to walk towards his father as he shook him awake.

"Ugh WHA?!" Michael freaked out a second as he noticed he woke up in a place he never saw before. He got startled when he saw Tobias. "Tobias? Where the hell are we?" He asked as he looked around the room.

"I don't know I was brought here by Zeltrax I think but my brain is still trying to figure out the details." He said holding the side of his head. Lights in the room turned on as Michael and Tobias looked around to see that they were in a steel cage. The stone shield was chained up in the middle of the cage at the top as Mesogog and Zeltrax stood outside.

"I see the Power Rangers have woken up from their little nap. " Zeltrax said standing with Kalyn chained up to the cage.

"Zeltrax! Why did you bring us here?" Michael asked.

"Above you chained to the top of this cage is a shield of immense power. It will only activate to the one who it deems to be the strongest. The goal is to see which Power Ranger is stronger, the Red or the White. Whoever beats the other in combat and gets the shield can activate it. This shield according to Michael, will give the wielder immense power as well as a new Zord that it contains." He explained.

"Why's my boss here then?" Tobias asked.

"A reason, in case you two decide not to fight each other."

"That's very low of you. What too afraid to fight us yourself? Or are you afraid to get knocked into the dirt again?" Michael said intimidating him.

"I wasn't aware of how strong you would become. You're strength was greater than when you were possessed." Zeltrax growled.

"Nah that sounds more like you're just a bitch." Michael said with a cocky tone.

"I'm not going to fight my father for power. We both have super speed we can easily just get that shield and find a way to bust out of here before you can even touch Kalyn." Tobias said.

"Look around you Red Ranger. There's not a single opening out of here. The only way out is with the shield. The shield will give you enough power to break out of the cage. By the time you activate the shield I'll have already slain this human." Zeltrax claimed.

Tobias and Michael looked at each other. Tobias could read what was on his father's face.

"You seriously want to fight me?" He asked.

"We don't have a choice. Just throw the fight besides you don't have enough energy to put up a fight right now. I'll grab the shield and activate it. Then I'll take care of Zeltrax. I'll need you to save the energy you have up in case this turns out to be a trap. When we break free you grab Kalyn and make a run to the nearest Invisi-Portal with her. I'll follow right behind you and we can get her to safety." Michael explained.

"You're not going to lay a finger on Zeltrax. He's mine to fight." Tobias said.

"Look the situation calls for the death of Zeltrax if we want to make it out of here alive. I haven't wasted a lot of my strength like you and everyone else has. A good set of rapid punches and a shield bash will end Zeltrax. I know you want to be the one to free your mom from that armor but you can't do that right now." Michael said. Tobias did not have a happy look on his face.

"You're. Not. Laying. A finger on my mother's possessor." Tobias said angrily.

"I don't have time for your childish emotions right now son. My plan is sound and the most logical one we have right now. I'm thinking about our survival as well as the wor—" He was quickly interrupted.

"THAT'S MY MOTHER! All my life since you left us and almost killed us, all I've been trying to do is save my mom! I've had her assigned to a hospital where she could finally recover. Yes I didn't expect the damage and me being gone have her see me as you and that caused more issues! But ever since then I've been trying to free her from the prison in her mind! It's all I wanted from my life now. It's not like I can save her and keep her around. But if she were to die and be saved from Zeltrax, I want it to be me! I want to be the one that sends her off and saves her! Just once I would love to save her! If you can't understand that I'll prove it by getting that shield!" Tobias said as his Dino Gem transformed.

"I know he's hurting badly right now. It's very clear that this is not what he wants and is trying to accept that it is. But I can't keep seeing him dirty his hands by slaying his own mother. No child should have to go through that. He clearly doesn't understand why I'm trying to do this for him, but if I have to get through him to get to her I will. This isn't a situation I want to be in and like him, I don't want to take his mother away from him at all. But currently I'm the strongest one who can end it quickly. Plus, when I do take her down, that will be an unforgivable sin I will bear for the rest of my life." Michael thought as he began to feel emotional of what he was going to do.

"Dinothunder! Power Up!"

Tobias quickly transformed with his Tyranno Staff in hand.

"Always against listening aren't you? I'll beat you and get that shield. Be warned I'm not holding back."

Michael brought his morpher up to his chest as it transformed. He did a different pose where he circled his hands and in mid circle pulled back on his gold piece of the morpher.

"White Ranger, Dino Power!"

He pressed a button on his morpher as he took his arm with the brace and stretched it out shoulder width from his body. His symbol appeared in front of him and spun through him as Michael's Ranger Form appeared with his dagger in the hand that was sticking out.

Michael made the first move as he super sped across the battlefield. He slashed at random spots of the cage as to throw Tobias off balance and find an opening to strike. Michael was prepared to expose a spot in his defenses and force his friend out of transformation in one blow. Tobias was seeing the sparks of the different areas of the cage but remained still. Michael took the chance to come in from above in an attempt to slash down at him. But Tobias took the head of his staff and slammed it into his father's stomach. Upon impact, Tobias threw Michael onto the ground as Tobias ran towards him holding his two hands in the middle of the staff. He went to swing the end of his staff at his father who turned his blade into a whip and wrapped it around the head of the staff and tugged hard to make Tobias lose his balance. Michael then wiggled the staff around before he got it freed from Tobias's grasp and chucked his weapon on the other side of the cage. Michael came in with a powerful punch, but Tobias fan blocked the attack as he jabbed at his dad's side, spun around him, and back fist him into the wall of the cage.

Tobias came in with a punch of his own, but Michael summoned out a few arrows and shot them at his son's feet causing him to stop in order to not get hit. Michael quickly sped into Tobias's comfort zone as he punched his son across the face with a right hook and then a left. He did an uppercut before spinning around and kicking Tobias right in the chest sending him flying. Michael went to do a finishing move but Tobias was quick to grab his gun and shoot his dad a few times in the chest and then put his gun in sword mode. He went to slash at him but was blocked by the dagger. Tobias went to kick Michael's knee, but he dipped his weapon as he slashed across Tobias's chest. He inverted his grip and slashed again and when he did, Michael open palm struck Tobias in the chest causing him to stumble back. Michael stepped one foot back as he bent his other leg down and a white mist formed around it.

"Doing your own version of a Rider Kick? Have you been watching my Kamen Rider films?" Tobias asked.

"I'm going to end this Tobias. In one kick." He said as his feet began glowing brighter.

"Super Dino Mode!"

The white claw marks on Tobias extended out as he began gathering a lot of his power into his right fist.

"I'll do it with one punch." He said to him as a red aura began wrapping itself around both of his fists. The two began breathing in the air as time felt like it stopped for a few seconds. Michael back flipped into the air as he came soaring down.

"White Jurassic Kick!"

The white around his foot began blowing around Michael's body as if he was enflamed with pieces of black circling around his leg.

"Red Extinction!"

Tobias slammed his right fist into Michael's foot as their powers clashed. Tobias's power was in full dominance but so was his fathers. Strong bursts of winds were flying around the entire battlefield as well as the room being lit up by the two's power auras. In that one moment Michael began thinking about how much this actually meant to Tobias. "I think I understand but my emotions and care for him still wants me to take his place. But I'm a bit more understanding of his position in all of this." He thought as he worried about his son. Michael went to pour more of his power to override Tobias's, but at the moment Tobias sidestepped as Michael flew right in front of him. When he was in perfect position, Tobias took his left fist and slammed it into Michael's side and all of the red aura shot into his friend like a pulse. His father was sent spinning until he slammed up against the wall of the cage and de-transformed. Michael clutched his side as he looked at Tobias who de-transformed as well.

"Power Down."

His form vanished as he looked at his father, with a tear running down his face. The two just stared at each other as their expressions talked more than words ever could. Tobias then looked up at the shield as he quickly vanished and grabbed it before returning to his original position.
