Zeltrax walked into the cage at quick speed as he grabbed Tobias by the throat and chucked him outside the cage. Tobias whole body slammed up against a wall as he looked to see the Shield no longer in his hands. A stream of energy from the Shield poured out and made its way towards Tobias's Dino Gem. The power emitting from the Shield forced Tobias's bracelet to transform into a new Dino Morpher with a new dino plate that was red with gold outlines and insignias on it and a gold horn at the front of the morpher. The back of the morpher also had two gold triangles with insignias etched into them.
Tobias slowly got up off the ground with a crazy look on his face, "Zeltrax…I hope you enjoyed your short life." He said with a chuckle. He moved at a faster speed as he grabbed Zeltrax by his throat and the two disappeared as a hole in the wall was smashed through. Tobias had dragged Zeltrax out into an open field and when he came to a stop, he threw him like a rag doll. Tobias dropped the Shield he picked up and began to perform a new transformation stance.
"Dinothunder! Rise Up!"
Tobias swung his arms in an arc and pressed the button on his morpher which closed the jaw. He jumped backwards into the air and during the middle of his jump gold pieces of armor appeared all around him. A gold dino footprint appeared on his chest while the armor bits formed around the different parts of his body. His black mouth appeared on his helmet with gold fin like designs on the sides of it. A blue jewel appeared on the forehead and where his white claw marks would be, had been replaced with gold and blue plates. The gold dino footprint had an extra triangle claw on the side of the print and to complete his look he had gold shoulder armor.
Zeltrax stood up as he looked at Tobias who held his hand out. The Shield of Triump removed out of the ground and moved to his hand. Tobias clutched the Shield as hard as he could. "A new form?" Zeltrax wondered.
"It's amazing. I was low on energy but this form just refilled me. I'm back at full power." Tobias thought.
Zeltrax raised his arm up into the air as he summoned out an army of Tyrannodrones. There had to be about 24 of them that appeared. "ATTACK!" Zeltrax commanded. The creatures began charging at Tobias who looked up at them.
"Last I check this fight was just you and me." He claimed. The Tyrannodrones swarmed around him. Tobias put his fingers at the bottom of the blade and ran them upwards. As he did a red light formed under his finger and wrapped itself around the blade. "That means all of you disgusting creatures get lost." Tobias said as they all charged at him.
"Triassic Storm!"
Tobias spun around as the red lighting blade formed a circle that shot out about ten feet from him cutting all of the Tyrannodrones in half. They instantly exploded but one was left remaining. Tobias scoffed as he tapped into his immense speed. He got in front of the monster and stopped for a second as he slashed across its stomach before vanishing again behind it where he pierced his weapon through its chest. He lifted the creature up into the air as he pivoted in a circle with the creature fighting to get free. "You can have this back." He said in a monotone as he did a blood shake of his weapon sending the Tyrannodrone back to Zeltrax. An explosion was made as Zeltrax began moving through the flames.
"This fight was unavoidable it seems Red Ranger. Either way do you have what it takes to finish me off? Anyone I possess, should they be removed in anyway are instantly killed. I have read the minds of this woman; I have seen the things you've done for her over the years. You have always dreamed for her to break free from the pain of your father. It was your hope that you could bring your mom back. Your hope is dead and you know that don't you?" Zeltrax said to him.
"You talk too much." Tobias said as he sped towards Zeltrax with his blade raised. He went to slash at him, but his opponent raised his shield and slashed at his chest. Tobias stumbled backwards as Zeltrax went to slash downward at him. Tobias put his sword up for a hanging block. He twisted his sword and spun in a circle around Zeltrax as he slashed at the back of his shoulder. He then super sped slashed through him and when he stopped Zeltrax shot lighting at him from his blade that hit Tobias in his back. Tobias fought back the pain as he ran his fingers up the blade and it became red again.
"Triassic Slash"
He inverted his grip on his weapon as he spun around doing a rising slash attack. A red curve blade left his sword as it went towards his opponent. Zeltrax sent a lightning variant as the two powers clashed. They were both pushing each other and in just seconds an explosion formed with a strong gust pushing the two fighters back. Tobias did his best to stay rooted as did Zeltrax. The gust stopped as Zeltrax took the opportunity to charge at Tobias. Tobias began running towards him with his fingers running up the blade and Zeltrax had lightning forming around his. Once they got into a certain distance, they each slashed at each other and red and yellow lightning bolts began forming in a circle around them in random directions as the two began pushing back on their blades trying to overpower the other.
"Just give up Red Ranger! You're apparently a hero to the town. How would the town feel if the hero that protects them murders his mother!?" Zeltrax said.
Tobias's eyes became angry looking as he took one step closer to Zeltrax, "Don't talk to me like I haven't thought of that by now. If I let you live Zeltrax everyone suffers, not just me. Keeping you alive means that more people are going to get hurt and with the circumstances I'd rather be the one suffering than everyone else because I couldn't have the gall to stop you. The only death you will be bringing is my mother! Nobody else will have to die and I would rather have one death over many!" Tobias said with commitment and frustration in his voice.
Tobias then lifted his sword towards him away from Zeltrax's and when Zeltrax's sword began moving towards Tobias, he put his entire body forward as his red blade slammed into it again shoving Zeltrax back. This caused his opponent to lose his balance in the standstill as Tobias raised his weapon over his head and slammed his sword onto Zeltrax's. He kept repeating this as all Zeltrax could do was having a hanging block as Tobias kept swinging and with each stroke he did, the more force and power he put behind his attack.
Tobias finally broke through as Zeltrax's arm made a popping noise and he had to drop his blade. Tobias slashed down his chest forcing him to go flying backwards. Tobias bent down and picked up his weapon as he began dual wielding. Two Tyrannodrones appeared in front of him and one behind as to protect his enemy. Tobias spun around in a circle as he slashed through the two in front but just missed the one behind him. That one had jumped up into the air as Tobias took Zeltrax's sword and shoved it through the stomach. While holding the sword up into the air, Tobias leaned backwards and threw the weapon like it was a spear as it appeared in front of Zeltrax. He then ran his fingers up the blade again as he did the Triassic Slash again as it severed Zeltrax's sword and the grunt. Zeltrax put up his shield as the attack hit his shield. His shield began absorbing the energy from the blade as he shot it back out to him. Tobias super sped around it and right when he had an opening to deal a fatal blow, Zeltrax shield bashed him causing him to fall backwards onto the ground. Zeltrax stomped hard on Tobias's chest that sent a major spike of pain coursing through his entire body. The pain momentarily paralyzed him.
"You are the first to have broken my sword. But now you are at my mercy Red Ranger. Everything you've fought for I'll destroy personally." Zeltrax said as his shield began emanating the same red energy that was in Tobias's attack. Tobias finally had a moment to move but Zeltrax stomped on his chest again. Tobias let go of his shield as Zeltrax picked it up. "You're death will be painful and you're friends will follow next. Just like everything in your life you have accomplished nothing, you aren't strong enough to protect anyone if you can't even protect yourself or the ones you love. Fighting me on your own was the worst mistake of your life." Zeltrax said. Zeltrax transferred the power from his shield to the Shield of Triumph as he tossed his black one to the side. He raised the blade directly over Tobias's head.
"You're right… Fighting you on my own was a mistake…It's impossible for me to kill you without help because I let my emotions get in my way for this fight. I wasn't thinking clearly…That's always been one of my major flaws. But that's not the case this time." Tobias said as the blade got raised. "Ain't that right Dad?" He said.
Michael appeared into the cornfield transformed as he shot a bunch of his arrows at Zeltrax. This pushed Zeltrax off Tobias who immediately lifted his foot kicking Zeltrax in the jaw. Tobias then grabbed the arm of his opponent holding his Shield and stretched it out before standing behind it and punching his elbow in. There was a loud snap as Zeltrax's grip was let go and Tobias took back his weapon.
"Tobias you okay? Sorry it took me a while to get here." He said breathing heavily.
"Better late than never." Tobias said.
Zeltrax roared in pain with his arm broken, "HOW DID YOU PLAN THIS?!"
"Before I grabbed you, while super speeding, I stopped at Dad and told him to find me when he got Kalyn to safety. Super speed is an amazing thing I tell you." Tobias said with a smile on his face.
"We've been playing you the whole time when he got the Shield." Michael said to him.
"Damn you, Power Rangers!" Zeltrax screamed. His shield began emanating a red light as he got ready to fire Tobias's attack at him again.
"Dad, I'm going to end him, but I need that shield out of my way." Tobias said.
"Leave it to me. I'm going to break that shield in his face." He said as his fists began having a white and black aura form around them.
In an instant, Michael had vanished from sight with just a twitch of his foot as he zoomed all over the battlefield picking up momentum for his attack. Zeltrax was about to fire his blast as Michael appeared in front of Zeltrax like a ghostly mirage as he cocked back his right arm. "Remember this move Zeltrax?" He said as his fist slammed into the middle of the shield.
"WHITE JURASSIC OVERDRIVE!"
Michael began rapid firing his punches as hard as he could into the shield. The backlash of each hit was hurting his knuckles but he ignored the pain. When Zeltrax got smart and moved the shield away, Michael would move directly in front of it. Each punch he made gave off sparks and static noises as he kept hitting the same part of the shield with great accuracy. Michael was roaring between each hit as cracks began to form on the shield and right before his power began to fade. He performed a haymaker for his final punch and once he did, his black and white aura formed up his arm and when the punch connected to the middle of the shield. A huge gust of wind pushed his power from his arm and straight into the shield shattering it to pieces. The attack didn't even stop there, black sparks of electricity zoomed all over Zeltrax's body as pieces of his armor made huge cracks. Zeltrax looked at Michael as he fell to his knees.
"You know where this leads right if he kills me?" Zeltrax asked.
"I know the negatives, but I also know where it'll lead him in the long run." Michael responded back to him.
"And what exactly would that be White Ranger?" Zeltrax asked curious.
"Freedom." Michael said as Tobias charged up his weapon.
A brilliant red stream formed on the blade as Tobias ran at super speed towards Zeltrax. Tobias's heart began beating fast, his emotions overwhelming him as he tried to prepare himself for the action he was going to commit. Michael flipped backwards revealing Tobias right behind him and the last thing Zeltrax saw was a blade hitting his chest and shoulder in a diagonal slash. At that exact moment time and everything stopped for Zeltrax and Tobias and for a brief moment Tobias saw his mom's spirit standing right behind Zeltrax and Tobias's human spirit form standing in a black space around them. It was just the two of them.
"Mom…" Tobias said shaken up.
Tobias's mother Maria walked towards him with a smile on her face. She placed her hand on his cheek using her thumb to rub the side of his face.
"I'm sorry I couldn't be a good mother all of these years. I raised such a beautiful and handsome man." She said with a sweet smile on her face.
"I don't want to do this to you…I don't want you to leave…" Tobias said sobbing.
"Son it's time to let me go. Just know this, I don't blame you nor hold any ill will towards you for the choice you are making. You've done everything you can to save and keep this family together. But we are holding you down from moving forward. As a mother I want to see you go off and do great things with your life. Live a life that me and your dad couldn't. Do something astounding for this world. You really do look a lot like your dad. I'm sorry for hurting you because I couldn't tell the difference." She said comforting him.
Tobias kept sobbing as his mother wrapped her arms around him, "No matter what happens, even if I have to give up my life, I'm going to kill Mesogog. He'll pay for what he's done to us." Tobias said to her.
"I love you son. I always will." She said as she faded away.
Tobias was brought back to the battlefield as his blade began breaking through Zeltrax's armor and he put his entire power behind his attack as he slashed through severing his enemy in half. Every single sound around him became silent and as he passed through Zeltrax, Tobias reverted back to his human form as he fell to his knees and looked up to the sky.
"GGGYYYYAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Tobias yelled as loud as he could as the explosion behind him went off with not a single trace of Zeltrax's armor left not even his mothers.
Tobias had a full blown emotional breakdown as he kept crying with his face up to the sky as he let out every single negative emotion hoping that it would help him feel better, or at least lessen the pain he was feeling.
Michael reverted back to his human form as he started walking through the battlefield and before he got up to his son, he saw something gleaming on the ground where Zeltrax once stood. He bent down and picked up a pocket watch and inside was a photo of Tobias's father and mother at their wedding. Michael walked over to his son as he sat next to him and put one hand on his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry this had to happen." He said to him.
Tobias had stopped screaming as he grabbed the ground and had his back hunched over. He was breathing heavily still trying to find ways to calm down. Michael placed the pocket watch in front of him. Tobias saw that as he reached for the watch and opened it.
"That was my mom's…" He said as he examined the watch.
"We're going to kill Mesogog. We are going to stop all of this." Michael said.
Tobias started getting control of his self as he put the watch in his pocket, "He's going to pay for what he did to this family. I'll make sure of it." Tobias said as he was grieving.
"Kalyn is safe too. I took her back to Rally's. The police were there too, she's safe." He said to him.
"Thank you." Tobias said as he stood back up.
"Let's head home. I'll order some pizza you look like you could use something to eat." He said as they stood in the direction where their apartment was.
"I'm kind of hungry but I'm also exhausted." Tobias said.
"Let's get home we'll contact everyone tomorrow and explain everything to them so they can be up to date." Michael and Tobias super sped back home and when they got back, the two hung out in silence for the night and Tobias went to bed a few hours later as he was still torn apart of the day's events. He fiddled with the pocket watch as he looked at his parent's photos.
"Mom…I love you…But I also miss you so much. I wish you two were here right now…" He said as he shortly passed out from exhaustion.
