I know being a dragon is cool and all, but you've got to change back." Kira said. "How many times do I have to tell you that I can't?" Tommy growled in response. "Guys, me and Hayley ran a scan. He really can't." Trini said as she intervened between the three teenagers and the Oliver couple.

"Thanks for the assistance." Kim said, hugging her. Trini hugged her back. "Okay, so now what?" Connor asked them. "How about we try to help him more while you three deal with a zord problem?" Hayley suggested.

Center of town

The white ranger used his sword from inside his Megazord to wrap the Thundersaurus Megazord in chains. "We need help." Ethan stated. "Sending the Parazord and Spinozord now." Trini stated.

"Containment field, now." The white ranger stated. He sent one gold bubble at each zord, trapping them in a golden barrel. The barrels turned to regular color as it left only their heads sticking out. The Parazord started screeching and the Spinozord started growling.

"Let our zords go!" Connor demanded. "You're out of control!" Kira added. "Looks more like I'm in control." The white ranger retorted.

Island fortress, a minute later

"We share a common enemy. If only there were a way to force him to join us." "Zeltrax, you cannot force someone to do what is not in their nature;" Mesagog hissed. "But perhaps his nature can be changed. I have a mission for you."

Random street

As Connor walked on his way to school, Trent materialized from a wall. "It's you?" Connor retorted. "You shouldn't walk to school alone. You never know who you might run into." Trent responded. "I don't wanna fight." "That makes one of us. White ranger, dino power."

"If that's how it has to be then dino thunder, power up!" He shouted. The two rangers clashed. "Trent, it doesn't have to be this way, let us help you!" "I don't need anyone's help, least of all yours." Both got knocked to the ground in pain.

Zeltrax and a bug monster appeared. "Shall I infect them both?" The monster asked. Zeltrax shook his head which caused the monster to zap Trent. The two left. Connor immediately demorphed and ran to Trent. "Trent, are you ok?" Connor asked. "I'm better than ok, I'm me." Trent responded.

Principal's office, before school

"So I got an email from your husband saying he's too sick to work." Randall stated, glaring at Kim. She nodded. "He threw up this morning." "If I find out you're lying, both of you can kiss your jobs goodbye."

—

Courtyard, before school

Connor gestured them to the bleachers. "It's Trent." He said when they got closer. "Now I know for a fact that you're crazy." Ethan said to him. "But that's not all, he's reformed." Connor added. "Really?" Kira said.

Connor led them over to Trent. "Connor, I think that blast released the dino gem's hold." "That doesn't make a whole sense." Ethan commented.

"Guys, I'm really sorry for everything that's happened. You have to believe it wasn't me. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, name it." "How about returning our zords for starters." Ethan retorted. Trent nodded. "Meet me in the warehouse district this afternoon, I'll give you back your zords."

Right after school, Dino Thunder command center

"Well, what do you think?" Kira asked the five adults after explaining everything. "You should go in morph." Jason suggested. "Tommy will go as well." Kim added.

Warehouse district

The three morphed rangers pulled up on their raptor cycles with Tommy flying behind them at twice the size of the raptor cycles. Trent waved to them front on top of a box. "I hope that you don't mind the fact that we brought our dragon." Kira stated. Trent just looked confused. "How is he smaller?"

"He can change sizes." Ethan said, shrugging. Trent walked up to the dragon, looking at it in awe. "Now, I hate to get right to the point, but I don't see any zords around here." "That's because Mesagog doesn't make monsters that turn people good." Trent retorted. He pulled out a collar and attached it to Tommy's neck. "Be warned, if you disobey me the collar will zap you." He said, attaching bridles to it.

"White ranger, dino power." Trent said, morphing. "Now, sit down so I can get on your back." He ordered. Tommy shook his head but then the collar zapped him. He roared out in pain. "Let's try that again, sit down so I can get on your back." Trent ordered. Tommy reluctantly let Trent onto his back. As the other rangers prepared to help him, the monster appeared in front of them.

"You're not going anywhere!" It said, allowing Trent to force Tommy to fly off. As Ethan and Connor started to destroy the Tyrannodrones, Kira led her raptor cycle past the monster. It blasted her Raptor cycle, causing her to throw Kira off and run away. Ethan drove his cycle to help Kira only to find himself in the same predicament. As soon as Connor finished off the Tyrannodrones, all three found themselves without their raptors.

"Is that all you got?" The monster retorted. "Super dino mode!" All three said in unison. "Super what?" The monster stated as all three rangers charged it. It tried shooting Connor but he easily dodged. The two other rangers jumped it from behind, but the monster quickly escaped.

"We can either find our raptors or look for Dr. O, which one should we do?" Kira said. "We can't do anything about that collar so let's find the raptors and return to base." Connor commanded.

—

An hour later, Dino Thunder command center

"You're saying Trent made a deal with Mesagog to pretend to turn him back to normal in order for that monster to destroy the raptors?" Kira said, pacing. "In return Trent got this magical collar and bridles so he can ride Dr. O?" "That is messed up in so many ways." Ethan stated.

"Either way, that monster used some kind of energy to scramble the raptors. Maybe that energy can be used to free the zords." Jason said. "One problem, how are we going to do that?" Connor asked. "Every trap needs its bait." Hayley responded as all eight of their gazes fell on Connor.

Random alleyway, ten minutes later

"Trent!" Connor called. Trent slashed him. "You wanted to see me?" "I wanted to make a deal of my own." "I don't make deals with fakes." He slashed Connor again. "You just won't learn, will you?" "Learn what?" "That the white ranger always wins." Trent declared.

—

Meanwhile, in a forest

Kira and Ethan reached the zords. "You're too late! I've already reprogrammed them to obey me." Trent called out to them. Trent used them to form a Megazord. He was about to step on Ethan and Kira when the monster from earlier approaches, megazord sized. Trent turned to the monster. "Out of my way, insect. Drago stinger, strike mode."

"My exoskeleton!" It shouted as it blew up. Trent left before the rangers could form their megazord.

Right after school, next week

"Anton Mercer teaching children? He won't even teach his own." "This has to be Randall's idea. Anyway, I have to get to computer club." "I have to get to soccer practice." "I guess I'll let Coach Oliver and the Scotts know." Kira responded.

—

The next day, Tommy's classroom

Jason entered the room. "Hey Anton, I hope you don't mind that I'm tagging along." "Coach Scott, what about your class?" Anton replied. "My little sister, Coach Oliver, is teaching it. You don't have a problem with me watching my best friend's class do you?" "Not at all."

Outside the museum, half an hour later

"That statue gives me a creepy vibe, like it could just move." Kira whispered. "That's because it did." Connor said, giving the t-rex statue a wary look. The three friends hurried inside.

—

Soccer field, before school

Ethan turned to the kid who hit his laptop with a soccer ball. "Hey!" He snapped. "What are you complaining about, Greek?" "My name is Ethan, not Geek. Now why'd you hit my computer!" "Well look, E-fan. This is my field and I kick the ball where I wanna kick it." "Obviously not the net." He retorted.

"That's it!" The kid shouted. He was about to punch Ethan when Connor tackled him. "Watch yourself, dweeb." The kid said, getting up. "Derrick chill." Connor said.

—

After the bell rang

"The school for bugs and robots is on the other side of town." Ethan said, coming toward Zeltrax and his new monster. "It's this school we're after. Termitetron can destroy cities in seconds. Turn over Dr. Oliver or I will release him on the students."

"I wouldn't tell you even if I knew. It doesn't matter though, I'll terminate your monster first. Dino thunder-" He was about to morph when Cassidy and Devin showed up with a bunch of students. Most of the students scattered when they spotted the monster, but Cassidy and Devin hid in the bushes.

Ethan decided to fight the monster out of morph and was losing badly. Luckily, Kira showed up. "Kid, why don't you get out of here." She said, "And morph in private." She whispered. He nodded and ran off. Kira started fighting off Zeltrax when the blue ranger approached to fight off the monster.

Cassidy and Devin tried to interview the rangers the entire fight. When Zeltrax overpowered Kira, Ethan ran to her side. The two stood in front of them. "I want you to give a message to the black ranger." "Ever heard of email?" He retorted.

"Tell him to surrender to me at the warehouse district at dusk or I'll let Termitetron loose on the city."

Command center

"I've got an idea." Jason said after he heard what's going on.

—

At dusk, Warehouse district

Two morphed red rangers approached. "I hope you don't mind that I came in a different morph." Jason said. He was morphed as the Mighty Morphin red ranger, pretending to be Tommy. "Attack the dino thunder ranger." Zeltrax ordered before charging at Jason.

Ethan and Kira arrived ten minutes later. "Guys!" Ethan called. They quickly morphed. "Is that Coach Scottt?" Kira asked, startled. "No, it's Dr. O." Connor said. "Pretty sure that's Coach Scott." Ethan remarked. "What! Ugh, why didn't anyone tell me which original ranger Dr. Oliver was?" Zeltrax snapped.

"Thanks a lot guys." Connor muttered. "Huh, I just thought you were color blind." Jason commented. "But if you must know, he's Green and White." Zeltrax growled and left in an Invisiportal. "Bug bombs!" Termitetron said. All four of them took out their lasers and started shooting them. "Hey, those were my babies!" The monster cried out.

"Z-rex blaster!" The rangers shouted and blasted it. The monster grew as quick as it was destroyed. "You guys can take it from here. Kim, send in Brachio." As the three Dino Thunder rangers left, Zeltrax came back.

"You seem to enjoy targeting my best friend. Why do you always target him?" Jason said as he pulled out the power sword. "Does the name Terrance Smith mean anything to you?" Zeltrax said as he and Jason clashed their swords together.

"Weren't you on that island? Tommy had to call Lightspeed Rescue in order to make it." Jason lied. "Mesagog put me back together." Zeltrax responded.

"Well, my advice for destroying Tommy is to find another hobby. If the Emperor of Evil couldn't defeat him, what hope do you have?" Jason said, knocking Zeltrax onto the ground. "I'll find a way." Zeltrax responded as he called for an Invisiportal.

Mesagog's lab

"So it looks like you failed again." Trent said, materializing from the wall. A beam of light hit Trent as he clutched his head in pain. "It's never easy to punish a son." Mesagog said as he entered. "The only question is whether you prefer your father over classmates?"

"So that's why you let me have an uneven trade. Well then, of course I'd choose my father." Trent immediately dropped down to a knee.

The next day, saturday morning

"Now, time to begin your training." Trent said to the large dragon. "I'm going to need something to call you. I think I'll call you Forest." Tommy snorted out some smoke. "So you're a fire breathing dragon. Let's see how hot your flame is. I want you to burn that metal pole." Tommy kept his snout shut before he growled in pain. He burnt the pole in a matter of seconds.

"This is degrading." Trent heard in his head. "Forest, you can talk?" Trent asked. Tommy nodded. "So why've you been working with the other rangers?" Trent asked. He knew had to be careful about his response. "One of the adults saved me when I was younger." Tommy lied.

"Well, you don't have to worry about that now. Stick with the White Drago ranger and everything will be ok." Trent said, being oddly comforting for an evil ranger. Tommy slowly nodded.
