White Thunder- Part 3

Drago turned his head towards his zord, "Dragozord, show these fools what you can do!" He leaped off and landed safely on a nearby rooftop.

Drago laughed as his Dragozord began using its humongous wings to cause trouble. Dragozord's wings caused a huge blowback… the winds were powerful and were like a tornado striking the city and caused massive destruction on the nearby buildings.

Tommy cried, "No!" as he saw the destruction and the Megazord struggle to stay upright.

The powerful winds pushed the Megazord backwards. Conner quipped at the Dragozord, "Hey! No need to get crazy!"

The winds were now being felt in the city. Cassidy and Devin had made it out of the alley (looking an awful mess) but were now in the middle of the powerful winds.

Cassidy shrieked, "No! Oh… my hair!" She grabbed Devin's hand, "Devin, this way!" and tried to get him to follow her.

Devin pulled in the other direction, "No, this way!" Cassidy insisted, "No, Devin, this way now!"

The winds were getting worse, but Devin persisted, "Cassidy, this way!" The two friends kept pulling in opposite directions but were separated when panicked citizens ran into them.

Dragozord screeched and flew off his perch. The Megazord could only stare, as Dragozord soared into the sky.

Dragozord sped through the sky and used its massive wings to strike at the Megazord and landed several powerful blows.

Tommy felt helpless on the ground, "They need help!" and decided to call in some zord reinforcements, "Stegozord, activate!"

The Stegozord button appeared on Tommy's morpher, and Brachio immediately brought the Stegozord to the fight.

Drago spotted the Stegozord as it made its way towards the Megazord, "I was hoping you'd do that."

Drago then waved his sword and casted a powerful spell, "Stegozord, you are under my command."

Stegozord then fell under the White Ranger's control. After stealing the Stegozord, Drago leaped into the Dragozord.

Once in his cockpit, Drago ordered, "Dino Stegozord, formation" He was now creating his own megazord.

Tommy realized what the White Ranger was up to, "Uh, oh… not good!" as Dragozord swooped down and grasped Stegozord into its claws.

In mid-air, Dragozord and Stegozord combined to form a powerful new Megazord combination.

The Power Rangers were shocked as the new Dino Stegozord stood in front of them. Conner exclaimed, "He stole the Stego!" as Ethan and Kira gasped, "What?!" "Whoa!"

Drago boasted, "Not bad for a new guy, eh?" as his Dino Stegozord turned toward his rivals' Megazord.

Tommy exclaimed, "Man! Now he's got his own Megazord!" as the Dino Stegozord twirled its weapon around.

The Megazord and the Dino Stegozord stared each other down. Kira questioned at the White Ranger, "Why are you doing this? You're losing it!"

Drago quipped, "No, you're the one losing it, and you're losing it to me."

The Dino Stegozord then used its weapon and slashed at the Megazord's front. The rangers groaned from the impact but managed to keep the Megazord steady.

Dino Stegozord went in for another blow, but the Megazord quickly brought up its new Parasaurzord arm and managed to block the attack.

The two megazords were now locked in a hold and twirled around each other. Ethan cried, "I say we go at him full on! Tricera Fist!"

The Megazord quickly used the Tricera Fist and launched a powerful punch that sent the Dino Stegozord flying backwards.

Parasaurzord jumped off, and the Tyranno Tail returned to its place as an arm. Conner cried, "Tyranno Drill!" The Megazord leaped into the air, as the Tyranno Drill spun and prepared to strike.

Drago anticipated this and decided to launch his own counterattack, "Dino Stegozord stinger, intercept!"

The Dino Stegozord Stinger launched and struck the Megozord right in the center! The rangers groaned from the impact as sparks flew in their cockpit.

Tommy was shocked, "Oh, no!" The impact was too much; the Megazord broke apart and threw the rangers out. Tyranno, Tricera, and Ptera landed on the ground with a vicious thud.

The rangers landed viciously on their stomachs. Kira exclaimed, "Brutal!" Ethan groaned, "You're telling me!"

The rangers were in pain and were trying to catch their bearings when Tommy finally found them. Tommy rushed towards his students in concern, "Kira! Conner! Ethan! Are you guys all right?!"

Conner managed to sit up, "Yeah, but our zords are seriously tweaked!" The rangers could hear Ptera, Tricera, and Tryanno weakly screech and growl. The zords were seriously damaged and not ready to get back in action.

The young rangers slowly rose to their feet. Tommy clenched his fist towards the Dino Stegozord, "That was just low!"

Ethan asked in disbelief, "Since when do they have bad Power Rangers?" Suddenly Kimberly's voice quipped over Ethan's morpher, "Uh, did you not pay attention to the video diary and to your ranger history? Or don't you remember who the first evil Power Ranger was?"

Ethan gave an awkward look towards Tommy. Tommy just gave a pointed look at the blue ranger, "I hate to admit it, but Kim's right. I was just as bad as the White Ranger when I was young."

The Dino Stegozord stood over the fallen zords. Drago pulled out his sword, "Now I'll take the rest of the zords" and prepared to cast another spell.

Tommy was furious and wasn't about to let the White Ranger steal the other zords, "Not going to happen!" He quickly accessed his morpher's controls and began to concentrate.

Kira was curious on what Tommy had planned, "What are you doing?" Tommy quickly answered, "Trying to break the Stegozord away." It was a long shot, but it was the rangers' only hope of stopping the White Ranger.

Suddenly, Stegozord's eyes glowed, and the Dino Stegozord began to break apart. Tommy cried, "All right!" as the Stegozord button reappeared on his morpher. The rangers now had control of the Stegozord again.

The rangers cheered, "Yeah!" "Good job!" as Stegozord walked away from the Dragozord.

Drago was furious, "You'll pay for that!" He and the Dragozord quickly flew away from the scene.

The rangers were relieved to see the White Ranger retreating, "Yeah!" Ethan tapped Tommy's shoulder in approval, "Good save, Dr. O!"

Tommy honestly replied, "Thanks, but I doubt if it will last. White Ranger's power over the Stegozord is too strong."

After retreating, Drago landed in an alleyway not too far from the warehouse. He looked around in confusion; the slight gasp he made sounded more like Trent. He groaned in pain and clutched at his chest… the White Dino Gem's energy sparked, and Drago began to change back into Trent.

At that moment, Devin walked into the alleyway and discovered the scene, "Oh, my. You're the White Ranger." He quickly opened his bag to get his camera, "Please, baby, just don't move."

Drago continued to moan in pain as the transformation continued. Devin managed to get his camera open, "Mr. Ranger, come on, here we go."

In his excitement to get the shot, Devin quickly stood up to get a better angle and hit his head on a nearby pipe.

Devin was knocked unconscious but had managed to turn on his camera. The camera was recording, and Devin was completely unaware he had captured Trent/White Ranger on film.

After the battle, the rangers returned to the Dino Lab. They sat down nearby Tommy's fossil area and began to talk.

Conner replied, "Well, that was like the worst day ever." Ethan nodded in agreement, "Brutal." It had truly been one of the rangers' most difficult battles.

Tommy shook his head as he made his way to Kimberly's side, "There's going to be a lot of days like this, guys." Kimberly ruefully agreed, "I hate to admit it, but it's true."

Kira gave Tommy and Kimberly a look, "Uh, whatever happened to the glass is half full?"

Tommy turned to face the kids, "Sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's empty. But that's when you got to dig deep… that's when the qualities that made you guys rangers become most important."

Kimberly gave a small grin, "Tommy's right… you kids are great rangers. I know things seem impossible right now; I know how hard it is to fight an evil ranger. But I have faith in you guys… I know you'll figure out a way to stop the White Ranger."

Conner realized Tommy and Kimberly had a point, "You're right… but what can we do?"

Tommy replied, "Go have a little fun. Ethan, isn't there a new video game you want to check out?" Seeing how exhausted and disappointed the kids looked, he knew they needed a break.

Ethan shook his head, "I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I have no desire to go near a computer."

Kira agreed, "I know what you mean. I haven't picked up my guitar in days."

Tommy insisted, "Go on, teacher's orders." The kids stared at Tommy for a moment, making Tommy persist again, "Go." The young rangers slowly got up and began to leave.

Kimberly made her way to Tommy's side and gently wrapped her arms around his waist. As the couple watched the kids leave, Tommy ruefully said to himself, "Enjoy yourselves now because this is only going to get worse."

Kimberly leaned her head against Tommy's shoulder, "Tommy, I hate seeing the kids like this. I know too well how they must be feeling."

Tommy gently kissed Kimberly's forehead, "I know… and I'm sure this is bringing back awful memories of when I was evil."

Kimberly gave a rueful smile at that, "You were able to be redeemed. Maybe once we find out who the White Ranger is, we can figure out a way to help him."

Tommy sighed, "I love your optimism… but the White Ranger's powers are only going to get stronger. If the White Ranger is anything like I was, he is only going to get worse. I have a bad feeling we're in for a rough road… it's going to take everything we've got to stop him."

Kimberly nodded in agreement, "Just be careful. This is when I wish that I had powers again… I feel so useless being on the sidelines."

Tommy gave a small smirk, "You miss being a part of the action, don't you? Kim, you have no idea how much you help us. The kids are better fighters thanks to your training, and your sharp eyes help Hayley so much when you two monitor for us while we're out in battle."

Kimberly smiled at that, "I appreciate that. I know it's been years, but I do miss being a Power Ranger. It's been an adjustment being a mentor, but I'm glad that you consider me a part of the team."

Tommy honestly replied, "I know I was being overprotective at first, but I'm glad that you joined us. I wouldn't be able to do this without you."

Kimberly gave a mischievous smile at that, "You guys would be okay… just not nearly as successful without me." She laughed and planted a quick kiss on Tommy's lips and ran up the steps leading into the main house.

Tommy laughed as he chased after the woman he loved, "Oh, you are so going to pay for that!" The couple knew they were acting like teenagers again but decided to make the most of their alone time.

Kimberly squealed when Tommy caught up to her and planted a rather passionate kiss on her. Things quickly heated up between them, and Tommy ended up leading Kimberly to his room. Little did the couple know, this would be one last happy moment for them before disaster would strike.

Conner had decided to take Tommy's advice and joined in a soccer game with his friends to blow off some steam. Conner was beginning to enjoy himself; he was playing great and feeling like his old self again. Playing soccer had always helped Conner when he had a lot on his mind… he seriously needed this distraction with everything he was going through as a Power Ranger.

Conner smiled as he scored the winning goal for his team. He then noticed Trent sitting on a nearby bench.

Conner saw Trent was not in a good state and asked one of his buddies, "Hey, how long has he been sitting there?"

His friend replied, "I don't know… didn't really notice." Conner simply shrugged; he did a quick handshake with his soccer pal and headed towards the bench to check on Trent.

Conner exclaimed, "Hey, Trent!" The friendly gesture startled Trent a bit, but he did manage to raise his head to slightly look up at Conner.

Conner noticed Trent wasn't looking good and asked in concern, "Are you alright?"

Despite that his vision was slightly blurry, Trent quickly denied, "Yeah, I'm fine."

That caused Conner to slightly scoff; it was obvious to him that Trent was not okay, "No offense, dude, but you don't look fine."

Conner tried to place a friendly hand on Trent's shoulder, but Trent quickly batted him away, "I'm just taking a rest."

Conner gently asked, "Maybe I should call your dad or something?" Trent quickly rose to his feet at that, "No, no! Just leave me alone."

Trent was honestly frightened and confused; he didn't want his father getting involved, and quickly began to leave the soccer field.

Conner stared after Trent in concern. Conner's soccer friend had seen the whole interaction and asked, "You know that guy?"

Conner answered, "Yeah, from school." He turned his head back in Trent's direction, "Look, I better go check on him."

The friend scoffed, "Dude, forget it, he's gone." Conner made up his mind and simply patted his friend's shoulder, "I'll see you guys next time!"

Conner left the field and began to follow the path Trent had taken; even though Trent was acting weird, Conner wanted to make sure his friend was okay. Conner's actions had stunned his soccer friends; the old Conner would have never walked away from a soccer game if he could help it. Becoming a Power Ranger had changed Conner… while he still had a lot of growing up to do, he was no longer the selfish jock he had been when he first got his powers.

At the Cyberspace, a disheveled Cassidy walked in. Hayley was shocked at the blonde's appearance and asked in concern, "Whoa, are you all right, Cassidy?" She thought that Cassidy had been caught in the crossfire during the rangers' battle, "Where you there when the attack happened?"

Cassidy thought Hayley was referring to her attack by the little scammer and his friends and groaned at her messy appearance, "Look at me… it was awful! They attacked me from all sides. They're monsters, all of them!"

Hayley replied, "You're lucky to be alive. Half the city looks like a tornado hit it."

Cassidy quirked an eyebrow at that, thinking the little punks had ambushed other people, "You mean there were others?"

Hayley reassured, "Yeah… but no one got hurt." Cassidy sighed in relief, "Well, that's good. Someone should call their parents, or they should be grounded."

Hayley was a bit confused, thinking that Cassidy had been referring to the Power Rangers, "Okay… that's a thought."

Cassidy just let out a disgruntled sigh. Hayley figured Cassidy could use a pick-me-up, "Do you want a drink or something?"

Cassidy nodded, "Yes, an extra tall soy latte and don't skimp on the foam." Hayley walked away to work on Cassidy's drink, just as Devin walked in.

Devin was glad to see his friend, "Cass, I can't believe that you're all right."

Cassidy gave Devin an incredulous look, "Do I look all right? Do I smell all right?" She was still upset that she had been tricked and wasn't even close to getting the valuable footage she wanted.

Devin slightly wrinkled his nose as he noticed the stench, "Oh, yeah, yeah, true. Not that you mention it, it's kind of-"

Cassidy interrupted, "Where did you go anyway?"

Devin gave Cassidy a slightly confused look as he tried to remember, "I wish I knew. I mean, I was just walking down this alley and then, uh-" Cassidy twirled her hair in frustration as Devin continued, "Oh, I was walking down this alley and then, yeah, yeah… actually that's the last thing I can remember. Then I was walking here and bumped into you."

Cassidy groaned, "Great! This is just great… what's it going to take for me to get the White Ranger on tape?!"

Devin tried to be reassuring, not realizing he already had the valuable footage in his bag, "I don't know. I guess we just have to keep trying."

Conner had followed Trent onto the rocky path that led to the cliffs on the outskirts of town. He called out, "Trent!" and had to come to a stop.

Conner looked around as he said to himself, "I know he went this way." He managed to look up, only to see the White Ranger leaping at him.

Drago shoved Conner off the ledge. Conner quickly hollered as he fell, "Dino Thunder, Power Up!" and morphed in mid-air.

Conner viciously landed on the ground but had successfully morphed into his ranger suit. Drago landed with ease, as Conner slowly rose to his feet, "Oh, great! It's you again!"

Drago turned to face Conner, who he now considered his greatest rival, "I'll tell you what, this time I'll give you a sporting chance." He coolly tossed his sword aside… the sword landed upright in the rocks nearby.

That made Conner angry, "You're going down!" and raised his arms up in a defensive position.

Drago gave Conner a look, "Oh, really?" He quickly crouched into a run and performed his super-speed attack.

Conner groaned and was knocked back onto the ground. Drago quipped as he turned to face the fallen red ranger, "Looks like it's you that's down."

Conner got back on his feet and grabbed his blaster in anger, "That's it" He quickly pointed his blaster towards his new rival.

Drago just taunted, "Can't fight me without a weapon, huh?"

Conner stopped at that… even though he couldn't stand the White Ranger, he wasn't about to stoop to his level, "All right" and tossed his blaster aside.

Conner questioned, "Why do we have to fight at all? We're both rangers." He honestly wanted to know why the White Ranger was so evil.

Drago smugly replied, "You're good… I'm evil. It's a pretty simple concept." He then charged straight at Conner.

Conner cried, "Wait!" but Drago landed one powerful punch to his chest. The blow sent Conner flying in the air. Conner groaned as he landed on the ground... he had sure felt that punch and struggled to catch his breath.

Meanwhile, Mesogog was watching the fight between Drago and Conner on his screens with great interest.

Mesogog summoned, "Zeltrax" Zeltrax immediately went to his master's side, "Yes, Lord Mesogog?"

Mesogog questioned, "How are we proceeding?" Zeltrax reported, "On schedule sir. Angor has been upgraded, and if our plan is successful, he will occupy the other rangers."

Mesogog was pleased with the news, "Good… I want to have a chat with this White Ranger." He waved his hand to dismiss his second-in-command, indicating he wanted Zeltrax to make the conversation possible. If he couldn't have the White Dino Gem's power, he wanted to see if this evil ranger would join him. Zeltrax immediately walked away to do his master's bidding, "I will make it so."

After thoroughly enjoying their alone time, Tommy and Kimberly were still in his room. They happily laid in bed, wrapped in each other's arms. Kimberly gave Tommy a rather flirtatious grin, "Well, that was an unexpected surprise. What the heck got into us?"

Tommy chuckled, "I think we both needed a distraction after the horrible day we had. Do you regret it?"

Kimberly propped herself up and gave Tommy a gentle kiss, "No, I don't regret what just happened between us… I'm unbelievably happy, but where do we go from here? Are we ever going to stop being so secretive about our relationship?"

Tommy sighed, "I'm sorry I'm making things so complicated. With everything that's been going on with the rangers, it's been horrible timing."

Kimberly agreed, "Handsome, you know I understand that you and the kids are going through a lot right now. I love you, but I want us to be more than this. I want us to have a real, and public, relationship. After everything we've been through, we deserve a chance to be happy."

Tommy gently replied, "You're right… I don't blame you for wanting more. I've always dreamt about having a future with you, and I don't want my insecurities and overprotective nature to ruin things between us."

Kimberly smiled at that, "You're not ruining things. I knew it was going to take time for us to fix our relationship, but I'm happy that we're being honest with each other. We already planned on talking to the kids; why don't we just tell them once and for all? Then we can slowly start telling everyone else."

Tommy nodded, "That sounds like a good plan. But are you prepared in case Mesogog and his cronies decide to cause trouble for us?"

Kimberly rolled her eyes and retorted, "I didn't let Rita and Zedd intimidate me when we were younger. I know Mesogog is a creep, but I'm not going to let him stop me from being with the man I love."

Tommy gave Kimberly another passionate kiss, "How did I get so lucky? I don't deserve to have such an amazing and supportive girlfriend."

Kimberly softly laughed and returned the kiss, "I couldn't agree with you more, handsome. I'm the luckiest girl to have such a loving and forgiving boyfriend." She never dreamed she could be this happy… after all the heartbreak of the past, she now felt that she could finally have that happy and lasting relationship with Tommy that she had always dreamed of. Little did she know, her happiness was about to be destroyed.

After their little talk, Tommy and Kimberly decided to make themselves presentable and headed back to the lab.

The couple had barely taken a seat at the monitors when they heard Kira walk up to them, "Hi, Dr. O. Coach H."

Tommy was a bit surprised to see the yellow ranger, "Kira" Kira gave her mentors a look, "That whole kid fun thing… kind of tough when the fate of the world is hanging in the balance."

Kimberly just gave Kira a supportive smile as Tommy replied, "I should've known you were going to have a tough time today."

Ethan then walked up and joined the group, "She's not the only one." The moment was interrupted as the monitors went off.

The screens showed the new version of Angor had returned to town, "I'm bigger and badder, and rougher and tougher. Hope you're ready, rangers!"

Tommy quipped, "Good timing guys. Hope Conner isn't having too much fun."

The alert went off again, and Conner appeared onscreen, "Hey, Dr. O, I'm in trouble here!" The red ranger quickly rolled to dodge an attack by Drago.

Tommy replied, "Hang on Conner. I'll send you some backup." Ethan quickly volunteered to help his friend, "I'm on it."

Tommy quickly took charge, "Okay, Kira, looks like we're going to have to deal with this guy ourselves."

Kira nodded as the three rangers quickly stepped away from the screens. It was time to go back to work.

Tommy cried, "Let's do it!" and summoned his morpher. Ethan and Kira summoned their morphers as well, and the trio moved together, "Dino Thunder, Power Up!"

Once fully morphed, Ethan hopped on his cycle and went to go help Conner. He quickly sped through town and cried, "I'm on my way!" He punched the accelerator and enjoyed the speed as he hurried to get to Conner's location.

Tommy and Kira arrived downtown where Angor was. Since the Thundersaurus Megazord could not be formed without the other two main Dino Zords, Tommy decided to call for some backup to give Conner and Ethan some time. He quickly spoke into his morpher, "Auxillary zords, online!"

The Cephalazord, Dimetrozord, and Parasaurzord buttons appeared on Tommy's morpher, indicating they heard Tommy's call. Brachio Zord quickly brought the Auxillary zords onto the scene.

Angor fired his weapons at the Auxillary zords, but the zords managed to dodge the explosions and kept rushing at the monster.

Conner groaned as Drago pulled him up and got a firm grip on his wrist. Drago simply spun Conner around, and kept his strong grip on the red ranger. Conner could not get out of the hold, and Drago quickly landed several powerful punches onto his chest and kneed him right in the mid-section.

Conner managed to turn his wrist and break the hold. He tried to defend himself, but Drago continued to land his punches.

Drago got another firm grip on Conner's wrist and taunted, "Going down!" He quickly swiped Conner's legs, causing the red ranger to tumble to the ground.

While Conner tried to get his bearings, Drago picked up Conner's blaster. The White Ranger taunted as he changed Conner's blaster to saber mode, "Look what I found."

Conner managed to roll onto his feet, despite gripping at his painful shoulder, "You're out of your mind!"

Drago simply quipped as he waved Conner's weapon at him, "Now, now… let's not judge. Especially since I have the sword."

Drago charged and began to use Conner's saber on him. Drago landed several powerful strikes… Conner definitely felt those blows.

Despite the pain, Conner managed to raise his arm for a block and got a grip on his saber. Drago wasn't even fazed as Conner tried to get his weapon back, "This is getting old. Let's finish this once and for all!"

Drago broke Conner's hold and began using the saber again. Conner groaned as Drago continued to viciously attack him with his own saber.

Conner stumbled, but managed to steady himself. He was in a lot of pain, and his shoulder felt like it was on fire.

Drago quickly reset Conner's weapon back to blaster mode, "Also comes as a handy laser… later bro!"

Conner moaned in pain as Drago fired the blaster at him. Drago landed several hits on him, and Conner was now on his last dregs of energy.

Mesogog continued to monitor the fight between Drago and Conner. He then saw on his screen that Ethan was on his way to the fight.

Mesogog beckoned Zeltrax to him, "Nothing must interfere with my plan… stop him."

As Ethan continued to ride, Mesogog and Zeltrax had sent the Tyrannodrones to his location. Ethan had barely made his way through an underpass, when a Tyrannodrone leaped onto his back.

Ethan gasped in surprise and yelled, "Ugh! Get off!" and did his best to get the creature off his cycle.

The Auxllary zords were holding their own in their fight with Angor. Cephalozord used its fists and landed a powerful punch on the monster. Dimetrozord used its blade, while Parasaurzord used its scissor-like tail on Angor.

Conner had collapsed onto his stomach and moaned in pain. Drago shook his head at his rival and just held Conner's weapon in his hand, "Don't even bother… it's over."

Conner clenched in fist in anger and growled as he found one last burst of energy to get back on his feet.

Drago was stunned that Conner got back on his feet. Conner stood upright and growled, "It is so not over!"

Conner's determination tapped into a powerful surge of energy (Super Dino Mode)- the white spikes of his uniform extended, and his helmet roared from the power.

Drago gasped at the display, "Whoa!" as Conner cried, "Dino Power!" With his renewed energy, Conner charged at Drago with his new upgrade.

Drago couldn't believe at what he was seeing, "Stay back!" He fired the blaster to stop Conner's charge.

This time, the blasts didn't even faze Conner. Conner leaped and used all his energy to attack. Drago groaned as the energy surrounded him. The energy caused massive explosions that sent the White Ranger flipping in the air and he landed with a vicious thud next to his White Drago Sword.

Conner's ranger suit went back to normal and stared at his hands in amazement, "Whoa! Looks like I tapped into a whole new level of power!"

Ethan was still driving his cycle with his unwanted passenger on his back, "Get off me!" He continued to struggle with the Tyrannodrone.

Ethan quickly spun the cycle around as he approached another gang of Tyrannodrones, "This must be your stop!" and shoved the creature off the cycle.

The Tyrannodrones began to lunge at him, but Ethan quickly began to defend himself. He landed a powerful kick on one that shoved the creature into the ground. Another Tyrannodrone managed to hop onto the cycle causing Ethan to yell, "I said no free rides!"

Ethan revved his cycle causing the Tyranndrone to fly backwards onto the ground. Ethan sped forward and fired his lasers at the creatures. The lasers caused enough explosions that sent the Tyrannodrones flying in the air and helped cut a path for Ethan to get through.

Drago struggled to get back on his feet and called out to Conner, "You beat me at my own game. Congratulations… looks like you won't have to worry about the White Ranger anymore." Conner's blaster fell from his hand, and Drago collapsed to the ground.

Conner groaned, "Oh, man" as he saw the steam radiate from the White Ranger's uniform. This was not the way he wanted to stop the White Ranger.

Conner rushed to the White Ranger's side, "Wait a minute- I didn't mean to-" and managed to bring his rival to a sitting position.

Drago groaned for a second causing Conner to ask, "Are you alright?" It was all a ruse… Drago quickly grabbed the blaster and fired.

Conner was stunned but managed to avoid the blast. Drago rose to his feet and taunted, "Am now!"

Conner cried, "No!" and spun to block the attack. Drago simply lifted his leg and landed a hard kick that knocked Conner back.

Conner clutched at his chest and cried, "I can't believe I fell for that!"

Drago taunted as he raised the blaster again, "And here's what you get for your stupidity." He fired and landed several hits on Conner's chest.

Conner fell to the ground in pain. Drago coolly picked up his sword, "You put up a pretty good fight, but now it's over." He pointed his weapon straight at Conner and began to stalk towards his fallen rival.

Just as Drago was about attack Conner again, an invisi-portal opened... bringing Mesogog and Zeltrax onto the scene.

Drago was surprised seeing the newcomers, while Conner just stared at the two villains. Mesogog quipped at the White Ranger, "Don't let me interrupt."

Drago turned his attention onto the evil mastermind and asked, "Who are you?" He had no idea that this monster was his human counterpart's father.

Mesogog answered, "I am Mesogog." Conner rose to his feet and quipped at the White Ranger, "I can't believe you two haven't met… you have so much in common!"

Zeltrax summoned an energy beam from his sword and fired it at Conner, "Silence!" causing the red ranger to fly backwards and fall to the ground again.

Mesogog addressed Conner like a misbehaving child, "Do not speak unless spoken to!" He returned his attention to the person he really wanted to speak to, "Now, we have some business."

Drago simply shrugged, "I have no business with you." He was not interested in dealing with Mesogog.

Mesogog replied, "I'll make you a deal. I'll help you defeat the rest of the Power Rangers, and you can be one of my subjects when I rule the planet."

Drago was not interested in becoming one of Mesogog's minions, "I'll take a pass on that." He quickly spoke into his morpher, "Dragozord, online!"

The Dragozord quickly flew to his master's side. Drago dropped Conner's blaster onto the ground and leaped into his zord, "I'm out of here" and flew away from the scene.

Mesogog growled in displeasure at his offer being refused. He and Zeltrax then walked towards the fallen red ranger.

Conner groaned as the villains stood over him and did his best to shield himself. Zeltrax pointed his sword at Conner and asked, "Shall I finish him, master?"

To Conner's surprise, Mesogog raised his hand to stop the cyborg, "No… our new friend seems to have a fascination with the red one. I will let him live in the hopes that he will lead us to him again."

Conner's vision was beginning to get blurry from the pain, but he managed sit up and heard Zeltrax say, "Very well, my lord."

Mesogog and Zeltrax walked away; they summoned a portal and left the scene… leaving Conner alone.

Ethan ended up arriving right after the villains' exit. Ethan saw his friend on the ground, "Hey Conner!" and quickly brought his cycle to a stop. He quickly hopped off and rushed to his friend's side.

Conner groaned, "Ethan?" Ethan helped Conner to his feet and asked in concern, "Are you okay?"

Conner managed to catch his breath, "I think so… just so you know, good guys do not wear white!" It was ironic that this White Ranger was so evil, while the original White Ranger (Tommy) had been good.

Tommy and Kira were working hard to assist the Auxillary Zords in the fight with Angor; Tommy was using his Brachio Staff, while Kira used her blaster to fire shots at the monster.

Mesogog returned to his fortress and saw on his screens Drago taking control of the Stegozord again, "The White one is tireless."

Inside his cockpit, Drago ordered, "Dino Stegozord, formation." Dragozord and Stegozord obeyed and began to combine into the Dino Stegozord.

Mesogog ordered, "He's back… send Angor. Stop him now!" At that order, Angor disappeared from his fight with the Auxillary zords.

Kira was stunned seeing Angor leave the battle, "Hey! Where'd it go?" Tommy realized, "Something's not right."

Mesogog watched as Angor reappeared in front of the Dino Stegozord. He ordered, "Angor… capture him!"

Angor cried, "My pleasure" and prepared to fight the Dino Stegozord. Conner and Ethan looked up in amazement, "Hey!" "They're fighting each other!"

Angor fired a set of chains from his weapons that quickly wrapped around the Dino Stegozord.

Tommy and Kira arrived on the scene and reunited with Conner and Ethan, "Hey!" "We got here as soon as we could!" Conner nodded, relieved to have the whole team together.

Angor stalked forward and bragged, "I've got this all wrapped up!"

Drago taunted, "Oh, you got me!" He simply raised his arms up, and a bright glow surrounded the Dino Stegozord. Drago quipped, "Not!" and the Dino Stegozord busted through the chains.

Mesogog hissed as he watched the fight with Elsa, "This cannot be happening! Who is this insect?!"

Drago got into a defensive position; the Dino Stegozord shook its tail and extended its claws.

Angor was stunned by the Dino Stegozord's power. Drago ordered, "Dino Stegozord, tail attack!" The Dino Stegozord leaped into the air and spun its powerful tail straight at the monster.

The Dino Stegozord landed a direct hit on Angor. Drago was ready to finish the fight, "Dino Stegolaser." At that order, the Dino Stegozord fired a massive laser beam from his eyes.

Angor groaned as the laser beam struck him. Conner quipped, "That's got to hurt" while Ethan, Kira and Tommy were amazed at the Dino Stegozord's firepower, "Whoa!" "Ow!"

The laser beam effectively did its job and Angor exploded into pieces. The White Ranger had won this battle.

Mesogog and Elsa were furious at their defeat. Drago knew he was being watched, "I told you… I don't work for anyone."

The Power Rangers heard that… they were shocked at how ruthless the White Ranger really was. Now that White Ranger had the Dino Stegozord, they knew they were in for a greater challenge.

Back at the Cyberspace, Cassidy was now cleaned up and sitting down when Devin rushed to her side. Devin had also managed to get cleaned up and had important news for his friend, "I have got it Cass… I remember. I remember what happened."

Cassidy just quirked her eyebrows at her friend's mismatched outfit, "Yeah, yeah… first of all, that shirt doesn't go with those pants."

Devin just shrugged at his appearance, "Oh, I know… I kind of had to get dressed in a hurry to come down here and tell you that I remember."

Cassidy figured Devin was up to his usual antics but humored him as she tried to work on her laptop, "Remember what?"

Devin replied, "What happened this afternoon!" Cassidy just shrugged it off, "Yeah, yeah, I'm sure it's real exciting, but right now I'm trying to catch up on all the homework I've missed out while we were getting pelted with garbage."

Devin knew of a way to get his friend's attention, "The White Ranger" That got the blonde's attention, and she immediately turned to face Devin, "What about him?"

Devin had finally remembered what had happened to him, "Well, I was in an alley, and uh, I got him on tape."

Cassidy asked, "You did? And did you see who it was?" Devin gently touched his tender head, "Well, no, cause I kind of knocked my head and passed out before that."

That did not deter Cassidy's eagerness, "Yeah, but you said you got it on tape… so, let me see."

Devin groaned in realization, "Oh, I knew I forgot something. My camera… it's back at my house."

Cassidy forcefully grabbed Devin's shirt in her anger, "Devin… you get my hopes up one more time and I swear I will follow you till you're old and wrinkled, haunting your every waking moment."

Devin did not want to face Cassidy's wrath, "Okay… yeah. I'll be right back." He quickly rushed back to his house to get the valuable footage.

The rangers returned to the Dino Lab after their latest battle. Kira was stunned by the White Ranger's antics, "I don't get it. One minute the White Ranger's fighting us, then the next thing he's blowing up Mesogog's freak."

Ethan agreed, "Whoever he is, he could definitely use an anger management course."

Conner was more curious about what had happened to him during his fight with the White Ranger, "So, Dr. O, what was with the whole super Dino Power thing?"

Tommy explained, "Look, you guys have only begun to access your full potential." He knew the rangers' gems would continue to make them stronger.

Ethan smiled at that, "I like the sound of that." It was nice to know their ranger powers were growing stronger.

Conner realized they needed to grab the missing meter, "I'm gonna go to the warehouse and get that fossil finder meter on the way back."

Tommy shook his head… he still felt the kids needed a break, "No, you guys head home and get some rest. I'll get the meter."

Conner nodded in appreciation, "Thanks" The young rangers turned and began to leave.

Conner was still concerned about Trent, "I still don't know if Trent's alright. I left a message." Kira tried to be reassuring, "I'm sure he's fine."

Once the kids left the lab, Hayley handed Tommy his backpack, "Here you go, Tommy."

Tommy nodded in appreciation, "Thanks… I'll be back." Kimberly walked up to him, "Handsome, are you sure you don't want me to go with you?"

Kimberly and Hayley had an uneasy feeling as Tommy prepared to leave the lab. Both women called out, "Be careful."

Tommy turned back on his heel and gave Kimberly a quick kiss in front of Hayley, "I'll be fine, ladies. It won't take me that long."

Both women still couldn't shake the uneasy feeling they had in the pit of their stomachs watching Tommy leave. Hayley tried to ease the tension and quipped, "So, I saw that little kiss. How long have you and my best friend been back together?"

Kimberly blushed, "We've kind of been dating for a few weeks now. I know we've been so secretive, but we're finally in a good place to tell everyone that we're back together."

Hayley smiled, "I figured by the way you two have been acting. I'm glad that you two are finally getting your act together."

Kimberly sighed in relief, "Thanks, Hayley… you have no idea how much I appreciate you saying that."

Hayley laughed, "Just know I have every right to kick your butt if you break his heart again… I don't care that you're a former ranger or that we're friends now."

Kimberly playfully punched Hayley's shoulder, "Wouldn't dream of it, Hayley. I love him so much… I just hope that our second chance doesn't get spoiled."

Tommy arrived at the warehouse and began to make his way through the wreckage. He ended up finding the meter hooked up to a strange gadget.

Tommy began to study the White Ranger's gadget, "What's this?" and grabbed at the meter.

As Tommy attempted to remove the meter, he heard a loud groan behind him. Tommy spun around to find Trent, who was in awful shape. The poor kid was barely on his feet and leaning over the nearby barrels.

Tommy rushed to his student's side in concern, "Trent! Are you okay?" He quickly tried to help Trent up.

Trent managed to get his bearings for a moment, "What's going on here?" Tommy knew he needed to get Trent out, "Come on, we got to get you out of here."

Trent loudly groaned in pain as his Dino Gem began to take over again. Tommy was concerned and tried to support Trent's weight in his arms, "What's wrong?!"

The White Dino Gem's evil energy sparked and began to take over Trent. The evil energy sent Tommy flying into the nearby barrels.

Tommy managed to look up as Trent's transformation finished. Drago just gave out an evil laugh as he looked at Tommy. Tommy was stunned that Trent was the Evil White Ranger, "I never would have seen that coming."

Drago immediately recognized Tommy's civilian form, "Fight or perish, Black Ranger."

Tommy rose to his feet and exposed his bracelet, "This is not going to be pretty." He quickly summoned his morpher, "Dino Thunder, Power Up!" and morphed into his ranger suit.

The two grabbed their weapons and began to fight. The Black and White Ranger struck at each other and appeared to be evenly matched.

Drago spun to kick at Tommy, but Tommy quickly ducked, and Drago ended up striking the barrel behind them.

The two clashed weapons, and Tommy had to do a handspring over one of the other barrels. Tommy quickly rolled back on his feet but had to duck again as Drago tried to strike.

Drago cried, "Come on!" and pushed Tommy towards the nearby stairwell. Tommy groaned as Drago struck at his shoulder.

Tommy managed to get his feet on the stairwell and continued to dodge Drago's sword. Tommy used some fancy footwork but managed to leap off the stairway.

Tommy tried to strike with his staff but ended up missing. Drago spun and landed a powerful kick on Tommy's back that sent him flying back into the barrels. Tommy rolled himself upright and tried to catch his breath.

Tommy was in range, so Drago quickly began to turn on his gadget, "You're the one who needs help."

Tommy quickly brought his morpher up to get the Dino Lab's attention, "Hayley! Kimberly! Listen!"

Hayley and Kimberly heard Tommy's call and were now watching him on the screens, "Yeah?" "What's going on?"

Tommy replied, "The White Ranger is-" but groaned from the pain he was in. Drago quickly pointed the meter towards Tommy's direction.

As Tommy tried to reveal Trent's name, the gadget turned on and the meter sent a wave of amber at him. Tommy loudly screamed as the amber fossilized him, "Ahh!"

Hayley and Kimberly heard the scream and saw Tommy's fossilized body on screen. Hayley gasped, but kept trying to reach her friend, "Tommy… come in Tommy!" Kimberly screamed, "No, Tommy! Answer me!"

Hayley tried to calm Kimberly down, as another closeup of Tommy's fossilized body appeared on screen. Kimberly fainted from the shock seeing the love of her life trapped in the amber.

Drago laughed at the sight of the fossilized Black Ranger and taunted, "Let's keep this our little secret."

Drago's identity was safe, and he was pleased that he had taken one of his rivals out of commission. This was a devastating blow for the Power Rangers… they were now without their legendary mentor and teammate.
