Mesogog had warped inside his lair as he slammed Tobias and Michael onto the ground. He then released his hold on them as Tyrannodrones filled the room and kept guard around the two. Mesogog then sat in his throne as he looked at the two. Tobias and Michael tried to stand up but were quickly pinned to the ground with their faces looking up at Mesogog.
"So, what now? You just going to kill us?" Michael said.
"I swear once I find a way to break free from these Tyrannodrones I'm going to beat the ever loving crap out of you!" Tobias said enraged.
"Don't even try to act tough Red Ranger. Thanks to your father over there, I've enhanced my Tyrannodrones to be a lot stronger than they used to be. Who would've thought that injecting them with drops of my blood would make them stronger than before?" Mesogog snarled.
"So what are you waiting for? You have me now right where you want me, so just slit my throat and get it over with! Take back a fraction of your power instead of making me suffer." Tobias demanded.
"I would love to do so but I feel like you're death needs to be glorified in a way. First, I'm going to create my new monster in front of you, and then I will kill your father, and then absorb the power in the White Dino Gem as I use your body as a nice test dummy for my new powers. I think this will be such a grand death to the leader of the Power Rangers. Besides without their Red Ranger you guys can't pilot your Megazord. This makes me able to take over the world a lot easier. Ahh the sweet sounds of your screams and agony are sounding more like a symphony in my ears!" Mesogog said.
Mesogog then stood up as the Tyrannodrones grabbed the two and dragged them to behind Mesogog's chair and had them look at the giant tube in the room that had Tobias's mother lying collapsed in the middle of it. "MOM!" Tobias called out. He tried to move but got knocked to the ground and one of the bladed arms of the drones placed near his neck.
"You let my wife go Mesogog!" Michael said trying to break free from his cuffs but to no avail.
"This specimen has just what is needed to become the new Black Knight told in the Aztec legends. I will recreate that creature using my blood, the mother of the Red Ranger, and pieces of black armor Michael had graciously received from a temple in Mexico. Once the smoke fills the room she will transform into my newest and strongest creature."
Tobias called out to his mom as she slowly began gaining her consciousness back but as she woke up she saw her son and Michael on the ground. She also saw all of the monsters spread across the room. She began screaming and desperately trying to find her way out of the container she was in. Smoke started entering the chamber and Tobias broke free from the Tyrannodrones control as he super sped towards the chamber trying to rapid punch through the glass.
"MOM! MOM! MOOMMMM! SHIT CAN'T THIS GLASS BREAK ALREADY!? MOM!" Tobias was getting more furious as he wasn't making any damage to the glass. Smoke had filled up the room and the last thing he saw was her placing her hand on the glass and her face up against it as well. Tears began falling down Tobias's face. "No please…Not like this…Mom please…" He said as he placed his hand on the glass covering his mother's hands.
"…Son...Is that you? I've missed you so much…" Maria said as Tobias looked back up at her but in time to see the smoke had covered her. The grey smoke then turned black as Tobias's mom screamed in pain and agony.
"MOM!" Tobias screamed as he fell to his knees with both fists sliding down the container.
Tobias then began crying as the screaming ceased and the smoke in the chamber began to vanish. A sound was made as the chamber opened up. The monster that was created began to walk out. The black armor creature was covered in a medieval knight's armor and in one hand was a blue sword and in the other was a black shield with six blue gems near the middle. There were black bones sticking a bit out the sides of the shield. The creature had a weird helmet design that had a curved side on the helmet. Zeltrax had two shoulder armor pieces and a row of blue jewels across his chest.
"What is your wish, Master Mesogog?" Zeltrax said in a deep masculine voice.
Tobias leered back at Mesogog as he super sped towards him. Mesogog backhanded Tobias onto the floor as Tyrannodrones pinned him back onto the ground. One of them put him in an arm lock with both of his arms.
"Give her back….Give my mother back…" Tobias said enraged but with tears running down his face.
"Zeltrax, I feel that this room is going to have some…Re-decorating." Mesogog said.
"Mesogog please! Let my son go!" Michael begged.
"I would more likely think about it if he wasn't wearing a Dinogem that has a fraction of my power residing in it. I want to be whole again Michael, I want to turn this world into dinosaurs. A more primitive era. Humans don't deserve their right to live anymore. I will bring this world back to days of old no matter what it takes. The destruction of every man, woman, and child will pave the way for a newer generation. The only thing stopping me is the Power Rangers. Because of my powers residing in them, I have to find other ways to get my strength back and it's been a very slow process." Mesogog proclaimed.
"I'm going to kill you with my own two hands you monster!" Tobias yelled out. Mesogog then stepped on his back as Tobias screamed in pain. Michael quickly tapped into his super speed and camouflage abilities as he grabbed one of his knives and killed off the Tyrannodrones around him. He super sped up to Mesogog hoping to get a hit in but Mesogog's veins ripped out of his body and wrapped around Michael's legs as he lifted him up in the air.
"You know Michael, when you were controlled by the dino gem you had more bloodthirst than you do now. It was one thing I really liked about you. The only reason why I made you my pawn instead of the dead cockroaches I step all over this musty and dirty environment I find myself walking in." Mesogog said snarling.
Mesogog then slammed Michael onto the ground and then raised him back up into the air and repeated slamming him back into the ground.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Tobias called out but couldn't do anything due to him being arm locked onto the ground.
Mesogog repeated this until Michael's face was completely busted and bleeding out. Mesogog then slowly walked up to him. "You should know just how weak you humans really are. Why would you risk killing yourself for such a degenerate excuse of flesh?" He asked him.
Michael stared at him with his busted face, "Because…Vats mah son…I love him…"
"What a useless excuse." Mesogog said as he threw Michael into the wall on the other side of the room. Michael had blacked out from the pain.
Tobias's eyes widened as he slowly watched his father fall like a used doll.
Tobias could hear his heartbeat as everything around him became deaf to him. His world seemed like it was losing color and he could see his world splitting in two. "…Dad….No….Don't die…You can't…Please wake up…Please just…" Tobias began remembering all of the fun he had with his father prior to him finding the Dinogem. He had remembered his dad showing him how to fix a car, helping him with his homework, the laughs they shared, the pain they faced, and the love that drove the family that was stronger than anyone else. Tobias had a red glow to his body as his muscles started getting bigger and a growl began forming from him. "I need all of you filthy dinosaurs to let go of me! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tobias gave out a roar as the bright light became a small explosion knocking all of the Tyrannodrones flying off of him as he quickly got back up and transformed his bracelet. He pulled back on the morpher and immediately slid his finger to the red button.
"DINOTHUNDER! POWER UP!"
He roared as he quickly transformed.
"SUPER DINO MODE! AHHHHHHHHH!"
All of his white on his suit turned into long white razor claws. "I'm not allowing either one of you in the room to get out of here alive." He said as he grabbed a Tyrannodrone with his claws and spun around throwing them at the ones by the entrance. The ones that had gotten impaled by his claws exploded killing the others as Tobias focused on the little few left. He ran up to one as he punched it across the face. He then took his hand he punched with to grab the back of the head and gathered power into his opposite hand as he punched right through its face. He then threw the creature down as he raised his foot and stomped on what was left over as an explosion happened around him. Tobias then emerged out of the fiery blast with his hand stretched out for Mesogog. But before he could touch him, a familiar hand grabbed Tobias's wrist. Tobias's reckless rampage came to a halt as he saw Michael stopping his attack and applied a lot of pressure on his wrist. Tobias looked to see the white Dinogem bracelet wrapped around.
"Can I ever get a break?" Tobias said seething with rage.
"I guess not Red Ranger." Michael said back to him.
You could hear the cracking noise on Tobias's wrist before he went to punch him with his other hand. Michael let go of his grip and jumped back and then sped up to give a solid strike into Tobias's gut. Tobias bent down from the impact as he delivered a big uppercut. Michael then lowered his body to the ground as he spun around and kicked Tobias off his feet. Michael then got back up and roundhouse kicked Tobias in his side as he got sent flying across the room. Tobias reverted back to his human form.
"I can't transform again. I don't have enough strength to even super speed out of here. I feel so drained." He said as sweat was pouring down his face. Michael walked over to Tobias as he kneeled down to him and whispered lightly to him.
"Get out of here while you can. I'll hold him back. Just put on a show." Michael said.
Tobias was struggling to get up but as he stood up, fighting back against all odds, he tapped into his super speed and punched Michael in the face sending him flying backwards.
"TYRANNODRONES! ATTACK!" Mesgog called out as all the creatures in the room began charging towards Tobias. Tobias sucked up the amount of pain he was in as he super sped out of the room. Leaving the creatures on a while goose chase.
Mesogog walked to his throne as he sat in it placing his finger on the side of his head and began tapping it as he watched Michael revert back to his human form.
"So, is that you Michael? The real Michael?" Mesogog said.
"It was a good show, wasn't it? I wanted to avoid using this power, but I will dance in fire if it means protecting my son, and righting my wrongs." Michael said to him.
"Zeltrax. Change of plans. The one to die today will be Michael. See to it." Mesogog commanded.
Michael turned to face Zeltrax.
"Your death will not come swiftly White Ranger." Zeltrax said in a deep masculine voice.
"Can't believe I'm going to fight a legendary folktale. Don't worry Maria, I promise to free you from all this pain. Pain that I caused." Michael said as he tapped into his super speed and dragged Zeltrax out of the room.
Mesogog sat in his chair in frustration.
"I must find a power source that will help me recover. These Power Rangers are proving to be a great problem to me."
Michael had tapped in his super speed as he grabbed Zeltrax and ran to a closest Invisi-Portal as the two appeared out near an abandoned farm.
"You think you're going to walk away and live a life with your son, White Ranger?" Zeltrax spoke in a deep voice.
"My son has enough on his plate…" Michael said as he raised his hand over his mouth. "…A child should never have to make the decision of killing his own mother. My son may be an adult, but in my eyes and Maria's he's still our little boy. The one to free my wife, is me." Michael said as he took a deep breath and closed his eyes as his Dino Brace transformed. Inside the dark crevice of his mind the entity that controlled Michael all these years appeared in front of him.
"I never thought I would find somebody who could overpower me like that. I didn't believe that a human like that even exist. For years I've been torturing you're mind and imprisoning you. But those two gave you strength including your son." The White Ranger said to Michael.
Michael reached his hand out and grabbed the Ranger's hand as he held it tightly and stared at him with a burning rage and fire in his eyes.
"You won't control me anymore. Instead, you will help me in taking down Mesogog and working together with the Rangers. I'm going to right every wrong I've done even if it kills me and you will be helping me." Michael said with determination.
"I can't say no. The moment you broke free from those chains, you were now in full control of the White Dino Gem and all the power I have is now yours. I can no longer hold you hostage. I only summoned you into your mind because this is my final gift to you. Once you transform, I will fade away and everything that was once mine, will now become yours." The White Ranger said to him.
"What do you mean by that?" Michael asked with some curiosity.
"Heh. I'll leave you with this fascinating little tidbit. You are now the rightful owner of that world where the Zords reside in. That world holds a very special power source that fuels the Dino Gems, the Zords, and only belongs to the owner of the White Dino Gem. You've inherited the right to that power when the one who does no longer exists. All those Dino Gems that exist all represent their hosts spirit. Those gems were created from that world and made their way into this world. Those gems have the power to seal evil away, but they also absorb pieces of their hosts. The White and Black Dino Gems are special though. They were created and born out of Mesogog after he was sealed. Pieces of Mesogog tainted spirit resided in the White Dino Gem, which is me. Mesogog's host was absorbed into the Black Dino Gem, which is why the Black Ranger is so strong and why me and him were on equal footing in terms of combat. Mesogog wasn't born from human experimentation. He was brought here to earth and was only created from the experimentation once he found a host he can attach too. Mesogog is a being from space who was severely wounded by a much greater foe than him."
"You're telling me there is a much more serious threat than Mesogog?" Michael asked bewildered.
"Heh Mesogog came to Earth seeking out a great power source that was thrown onto this giant rock thousands of years ago. This power source belongs to Mesogog originally, and a certain enemy that he greatly fears almost took it from him. The only reason why you guys have the power to stand up to Mesogog is due to this power source, its not just Mesogog power you're borrowing."
"You say that I am the rightful owner to this power, so you must know where it is?" Michael said.
"Heh. Not telling." The White Ranger said with an evil chuckle.
"But why?! This power could stop Mesogog! You must know!" Michael said agitated.
"In time you may find it, I've been hunting this power source and have almost gotten its exact location."
The White Ranger was beginning to fade away with his final words being, "May the Power protect you."
Michael was left with so many questions but then he was brought back to the battlefield as he pulled back on the gold part of his morpher. He spread his legs shoulder width apart and brought the morpher over his opposite shoulder as the mouth of the faceplate was open. He slid his hand down to the red button.
"When I'm done with you Michael, I'll be paying a visit to your son with your head on a platter." Zeltrax said.
Michael scoffed in his reply.
"Over my dead body."
"White Ranger, Dino Power!"
