Copy That

It was gearing up to be another busy day at Hayley's Cyberspace. Cassidy was going over her schedule with Devin, "I've got a student council meeting at 11, then the yearbook committee. Are you getting all this?"

Devin nodded, "Yeah, right, I've got it. And don't forget your square-dancing club at 2:00."

Cassidy agreed, "Right. Why'd I join that again?"

Devin replied, "Um, I think you thought you'd look cute in the poufy little dress."

Cassidy smiled at that, "Oh, yeah." The two friends then took a seat at a nearby table.

Devin questioned, "Look, Cass, I'm really starting to wonder how you fit all this stuff in. I know… maybe you should clone yourself."

Cassidy scoffed, "As if there could be more than one Cassidy Cornell. I'm like so parched… Waiter! Waiter!"

Ethan had been walking by with a full tray of drinks and was startled by Cassidy. He ended up tripping and dropping the whole tray.

Ethan groaned at the mess as he had fallen in front of Conner and Kira's table.

Conner quipped, "Cleanup on aisle five."

Kira grimaced, "Yeah. Since when do you work here?"

Ethan got up and replied, "Hayley's really been shorthanded since Trent quit. I'm just trying to help her out."

Conner scoffed at the mention of Trent, "Yeah. I guess kicking our butts has kept Trent real busy these days."

Ethan agreed, "Yeah, no doubt."

Kira grew crestfallen as she admitted, "I hate to say this, but you guys might've been right. Maybe there is no good left in Trent."

Meanwhile, at the Mercer Mansion, Trent was in his karate gear and sparring against his father's Tyrannodrones outside in his huge backyard.

Trent was making quick work out of the Tyrannodrones. Anton arrived on the scene and watched his son… he wasn't pleased with the changes in his son.

Trent quickly defeated the Tyrannodrones and told his father, "I need more competition. This is too easy. I wipe the floor with them every time."

Anton sent Mesogog's minions away, "Yeah, I can see that."

Trent sat down on one of the patio chairs and looked at his bracelet. Anton decided to talk to his son and sat down as well, "Look, son, this change that's happened in you, I don't like it."

Trent replied, "This white Dino Gem is making me stronger every day. Soon, no one's going to be able to stop me, Dad. Isn't that what you wanted?"

Anton was honest, "No, that's not what I wanted. That's what Mesogog wants."

Trent was confused by that as his father continued, "Look, we share the same mind, but… I hate what he's done to you."

Trent reiterated, "But you are Mesogog."

Anton answered, "Not by choice." He got up and decided to tell Trent the truth on how he had turned into Mesogog, "You know, my research on dinosaur DNA was bold, was groundbreaking."

Anton got lost in his memories as he remembered the day he accidentally created his evil alter-ego, "I was sure I was on the verge of a whole new technology—one that would serve the betterment of mankind. But it was experimental. It was too risky to try on anyone but myself. I had no idea the effects would be so monstrous."

Trent was surprised at his father, "But our plan to bring back the era of the dinosaurs—it's all within our reach."

Anton replied, "It's not my plan. That's what I'm trying to tell you." He sat back down and tried to reason with his son, "This creature Mesogog—he's poisoned my mind. I've never wanted this for you. Do you understand that?"

Trent angrily retorted, "Well, it's too late for that now. Isn't it?" He got up and walked away from his father, too upset to listen to what his father had told him.

At Mesogog's fortress, Elsa was amusing herself by watching the footage of Zeltrax and Trent's fight, "Whoo-hoo! This is fabulous" She continued to laugh as she watched Trent defeat Zeltrax onscreen, "Oh, I could watch that over and over again and laugh every time."

Zeltrax was still sore about losing to Trent, "It was an unfair fight. Next time-"

Elsa smugly interrupted, "Next time, he may not be so easy on you."

Zeltrax scoffed and Elsa pointed out, "You're just jealous cause Mesogog favors the White Ranger over you."

Zeltrax angrily replied, "Because he's his son. But that won't stop me from destroying him."

Elsa rolled her eyes, "Right… whatever."

Zeltrax stared at Elsa and studied her appearance, "There's something different about you, isn't there?"

Indeed, Elsa had changed her appearance… she no longer wore her hair short. While part of her hair still had a bit of a bob, she now had longer hair held up in a high ponytail. She looked somewhat prettier with the new look. She ruffled her hair a bit, "I'm trying a new look."

Zeltrax grew jealous, "Why, trying to impress the Black Ranger? He doesn't even know you're alive… especially since he's been involved with that little pretty pink gymnastic teacher of his."

Elsa growled, "Don't go there… and don't you dare bring up that prissy former ranger again. You know I can't stand her. Why don't you try to make yourself useful for once?"

Zeltrax replied, "If that is your wish." Determined to impress his love interest, he headed to the Geno Randomizer, "I will dedicate this monster to you. Activating the Geno Randomizer."

After a moment, a ridiculous looking monster that was a combination of an otter, bell pepper, and copy machine came out. Copy Otter declared, "At your service!"

Elsa was not impressed, "You're joking, right?"

Zeltrax said, "I admit, he may not look terrifying, but with his help I will win back Mesogog's approval and get my revenge on the White Ranger."

Elsa shook her head in doubt… she just knew Zeltrax's plan was doomed to fail.

Not too much later Zeltrax sent down Copy Otter to Reefside to cause trouble. Tommy saw it all on his monitors, "Come in rangers. We've got a situation. I need you over at the city center right away."

Conner and Kira heard the alert and prepared to leave the Cyberspace, "We're on our way." They grabbed Ethan and ran out the door.

Kira found an old trolley parked outside that they could hide behind, "Come on, over there!"

Once they made sure the coast was clear, the trio got into their morphing stance, "Dino Thunder, Power Up!" and transformed into their ranger suits.

The rangers quickly arrived at the city center. Conner called out, "All right, creep, we're taking you down."

Copy Otter spun around and faced the rangers (holding a pepper in his hands), "Oh, yeah. Says who? Here's a pepper for you!"

The monster tossed the pepper at the rangers, but Kira quickly used her saber to block it and sent it flying back toward Copy Otter. The pepper ended up exploding in the monster's face.

Kira quipped, "I'm not supposed to have too many spicy foods. Thanks anyways!"

Copy Otter replied, "Then how about some seafood?" He grabbed several seashells," This is what I call shell-shocked."

The monster launched the shells at the rangers, but Ethan blocked them with his saber.

Copy Otter was upset, "You'll pay for that."

Ethan summoned his main weapon, "Tricera Shield!"

Copy Otter activated his copy machine, "That's exactly what I was waiting for. Now here's my secret power! Copy!" The monster made a perfect replica of the Tricera Shield.

Ethan was shocked, "No way!" as Copy Otter cried, "Fire!" and fired a blast from the replica.

Ethan groaned as the blast hit him… the monster had used his own weapon against him!

Kira and Conner quickly went to their friend's side in concern, "Ethan!" "Are you okay?"

Copy Otter laughed at the scene. Kira was upset and ready to get even, "Now it's on!"

Conner and Kira summoned their weapons, "Tyranno Staff!" "Ptera Grips!"

Copy Otter wasn't fazed, "Copy…" He then produced replicas of Conner and Kira's weapons.

Conner was surprised, "He copied out weapons!"

Kira cried, "That's cheating!"

Copy Otter then charged at the rangers. He struck Kira with the replica Ptera Grips and hit Conner in the chest with the replica Tyranno Staff.

Conner and Kira crashed to the ground. Ethan went to his friends' side, "Guys!"

Kira groaned, "He's got our weapons. What else does he want?"

Copy Otter cried, "Copy!" Suddenly the rangers heard Kira's voice coming from the monster, "Hi, I'm the Yellow Ranger. Aren't I cute?"

Kira was shocked, "My voice!"

Ethan chuckled a bit, "Ooh, that's cold."

Conner was mad, "That's enough!"

Copy Otter agreed and turned away, "I agree! I have more important things to copy. See ya!" He quickly ran from the scene.

Conner cried, "There he goes!"

Ethan asked, "How are we going to beat this guy?"

Kira replied, "We start by finding him." The rangers quickly left the scene to find the monster.

Cassidy exited her Reefside Square Dancing Society practice. She primped and admired her cute square-dancing outfit when Copy Otter came running around the corner.

Copy Otter shouted, "Outta my way!" but ran into Cassidy. Cassidy screamed as they both crashed to the floor.

Copy Otter yelled at Cassidy, "What did you that for?"

Cassidy managed to sit up and got after the monster, "Excuse me, but you bumped into me."

The monster was shocked as Cassidy got up and continued to gripe at him, "Just because you're a hideous mutant creature doesn't give you the right to be rude."

Copy Otter got up and cried, "Copy!"

Cassidy gasped as the monster ended up making three copies of her.

Copy Otter laughed as the Cassidy's began to admire each other, "Oh, cute outfit!" "Thanks!" "Yeah, tell me about it."

The Cassidy's continued to compliment each other when the main Cassidy replied, "Come on guys, we better hurry up because we've got a busy day."

The other Cassidy's cried, "Totally!" and followed the main Cassidy to do their tasks.

While he had been amused, Copy Otter said, "Oh, I will probably regret that."

Suddenly Trent appeared on the scene. He attacked the monster with his signature high-speed run.

Trent backflipped and landed on the top of the nearby stairwell. He crossed his Drago Sword onto his shoulder, "One of Zeltrax's freaks. Maybe you'll be a challenge."

Copy Otter was pleased to see Trent, "Ah, just the ranger I was looking for. Copy!" and proceeded to copy Trent's Drago Sword.

Copy Otter admired his copy of Trent's weapon, "Sweet!"

Trent was shocked seeing the monster with his weapon, "Hey!"

Copy Otter cried to Trent as he showed off his Drago Sword replica, "I'll be taking this. Bye-Bye!"

Trent leaped to the ground just as the monster teleported away, "What was that about?"

At the Cyberspace, Devin found Cassidy sitting at one of the tables fixing her makeup. Devin was surprised to see her, "Hey Cass. What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be at the student council meeting."

Cassidy replied, "Yeah, no, don't worry. I've got it covered. Listen, could you run out to my car and grab my organizer?"

Devin nodded, "Sure" and headed out the door.

Just as Devin was walking outside, he ran into Cassidy #2. He got confused, "Cass, what are—"

Cassidy #2 exclaimed, "Dev! Glad you're here. We need to go over tomorrow's agenda."

Devin was confused, "Yeah, but I thought you wanted your organizer."

Cassidy #2 pulled out the organizer, "Hello, what does this look like? Now, do you have my square-dance mix tape?"

Devin replied, "Um, yeah. It's in my scooter."

Cassidy #2 exclaimed, "Well, go get it."

Devin was even more confused, "Okay" and headed outside.

Devin walked towards his scooter and saw Cassidy #3, "Oh man"

Cassidy #3 was sitting on Devin's scooter and listening to the mix tape, "Oh, hey Devin."

Devin questioned, "Let me guess. Your square dance mix tape?"

Cassidy #3 said, "Yeah, how did you know? Oh, never mind. Do you feel like a decaf latte? Cause I could totally use one. Come on" She then headed inside to the Cyberspace.

Devin was bewildered, wondering if he was seeing things and commented to himself, "Mom always says to wear my glasses. But, no, I'm afraid of looking like a dork."

He turned around to see Cassidy #4 waving at him trying to get his attention, "Yoo-hoo, Devin!"

Devin rolled his eyes a bit, still confused, "And look what happens." He decided he either needed to start wearing his glasses again, or possibly get a new prescription.

At Mesogog's fortress, Mesogog walked into his lab and found the place in ruins.

Mesogog was furious as he picked up one of the broken vials, "My laboratory."

Zeltrax walked into the lab, so Mesogog demanded, "What has happened here, Zeltrax? Months of experiments ruined! Who has done this?"

Zeltrax feigned innocence, "I don't know, Master. But its horrible."

The cyborg leaned over and picked up the replica of Trent's sword that had been planted in the mess, "What's this? The White Ranger's weapon. It couldn't have been."

Mesogog hissed, "I knew he couldn't be trusted."

Zeltrax continued his charade, "Why would he betray you?"

Mesogog growled, "Because he wants all the power for himself."

Zeltrax looked rather smug, pleased that his plan had worked. Mesogog was furious with his son and determined to destroy Trent.

The rangers were on their cycles tracking down Copy Otter. They brought the cycles to a stop by a nearby field.

Conner declared as they hopped off, "The signal's coming from right around here."

But the monster was nowhere to be found. Kira asked, "Then, where is he?"

Suddenly Copy Otter appeared, "Looking for me?"

Kira turned and gasped in surprise, "Whoa." The rangers quickly got into defensive positions.

Copy Otter pulled out his explosive peppers, "I was picking peppers!" and launched them at the rangers.

The trio ducked as the peppers exploded around them. They quickly rolled back on their feet as Copy Otter laughed.

Ethan warned, "Careful. Remember, he can copy our weapons."

Kira asked, "Then how do we fight him?"

Conner came up with a plan, "I've got it. We close up the head of the Z-Rex Blaster. He makes a copy. He fires it, it explodes!"

Ethan quipped, "Sneaky. I like it."

Conner cried, "Let's do it!"

Copy Otter replied, "Are you done with your meeting over there?"

Conner declared, "Just a minute" as the rangers combined their weapons, "Z-Rex Blaster!"

The rangers made sure to close the Tyranno Head so Copy Otter could copy the motion. They got into formation to fire.

Copy Otter activated his copy machine, "Copy!" and replicated the rangers' blaster, "Z-Rex Blaster, ready to go!"

Conner anxiously waited, "That's it…"

But to the rangers' surprise, Copy Otter replied, "Oh, wait. I almost forgot" and opened the head of his blaster.

Conner was shocked, "Oh, no!"

Copy Otter cried, "Now it's ready. Fire!" The rangers moaned as they were struck by the blast.

The rangers flew backwards and landed in the nearby pond.

Trent appeared on the scene, ready for a challenge, "So, I guess I get to fight the winner." He grinned at that, just a portal opened behind him.

Mesogog's claw appeared through the portal and grabbed at Trent. Trent gasped as Mesogog gripped his shoulder and pulled him through the portal.

As the rangers struggled to pull themselves up from the water, Copy Otter cried, "Now get up, so I can blast you again!"

Tommy arrived on the scene and pulled out his Brachio Staff, "I don't think so!"

Copy Otter was surprised, "Another one!"

Tommy twirled his staff, "Brachio Staff! Wind Strike!" and struck his staff into the ground.

Copy Otter struggled as the Wind Strike whirled and blasted around him.

Tommy cried out in concern, "Guys?" and rushed toward his team. He planted himself in front of his students and got in a defensive pose, "Watch out!"

Copy Otter got a good view of Tommy's staff and cried, "I'll take one of those. Copy!" He quickly replicated Tommy's weapon. He then copied Tommy's attack, "Brachio Staff! Wind Strike!" The team groaned as the Wind Strike struck them.

At Mesogog's fortress, Trent was shocked as Mesogog had him strapped to the life force extractor.

Mesosgog growled, "Traitor!" Trent was surprised as Mesogog continued, "You'll regret double crossing me."

Trent replied in shock, "Traitor? What are you talking about?" as Mesogog lowered the probe.

Mesogog moved towards his computer, "You cannot be trusted, and therefore, must be eliminated."

Trent cried, "No, you're making a mistake!"

Mesogog replied, "Good-bye White Ranger!" He pressed a button on his computer and activated the life force extractor.

Trent groaned as the machine began to drain him, as Mesogog hissed in satisfaction.

Trent managed to weakly plead, "Dad, don't. It's me—Trent. I'm your son."

Mesogog hissed as Trent pleaded, "Dad… don't, please."

Suddenly, Mesogog began to change. Deep inside, Anton heard his son's pleas. Mesogog then transformed back into Anton Mercer.

Anton quickly rose to his feet and turned around to see his son being drained by Mesogog's machine, "Trent!" He quickly moved the probe upwards. The machine was still active, so the beam ended up ricocheting around the lab. The beam finally stopped and struck Trent's bracelet, hitting dead center on his Dino Gem.

Anton cried, "Trent!" as his son groaned. He gently shook Trent, "Son, son."

Trent opened his eyes to see his father, "Son, are you all right?"

Anton quickly removed the restraints around his son.

Trent slowly said, "I'm fine." He was surprised as he got his bearings, "I feel like my old self again."

Anton realized, "The explosion. The explosion must've shattered…" He quickly looked at the gem in his son's bracelet, "The evil encoding of the Dino Gem."

Trent asked, "Does that mean there's no more White Ranger?"

Anton studied the gem, "As far as I can tell, the power is still active."

Trent sighed, "Great. What do I do with it now?"

Anton walked around to better look at his son, "Now, you'll be able to use it- you'll be able to use it however you choose. Then—" He gasped and began to collapse.

Trent quickly got up in concern, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Anton managed to kneel and grabbed the chair to steady himself, "You have to get out of here."

Trent cried, "No, I can help."

Anton realized Mesogog was taking over again, "No! I'll find a way to stop this. But until I do, I want you to go and use your powers for something good. Go and help the other rangers."

Trent was shocked by his father's plea, "The other rangers? That's crazy. I can't fight against you."

Anton replied, "I know you son. I know you'll do what you have to do."

Trent promised, "I won't tell them your secret, Dad. I promise."

Anton cried, "Now go!" and bowed his head in exhaustion.

Trent made for the exit… Anton managed to raise his head up and his eyes were beginning to glow yellow, meaning he was about to turn back into Mesogog.

The rangers continue to struggle against Copy Otter. Conner was knocked into a nearby tree and groaned as he and the other rangers hit the ground.

Copy Otter taunted, "How's the dirt taste?"

Everyone was surprised at Trent arrived on his ATV and used the ATV's lasers to strike at the monster.

The rangers gasped as Trent hopped off and cried, "Looks like you could use a little help."

Trent grabbed his sword and used his super-speed attack on Copy Otter.

Copy Otter groaned from the attack. Trent then leaped at the monster with his sword, but Copy Otter quickly blocked the attack with his replica of Trent's weapon.

Copy Otter managed to land a few blows on Trent. Trent was knocked down but managed to roll up on his feet.

Copy Otter cried, "Let's see how you like it." And copied Trent's super-speed attack.

Trent groaned as the other rangers watched the scene.

Kira was shocked, "That's crazy!"

Trent flew backwards and his back struck a nearby tree. He crashed to the ground.

Conner questioned, "Who's side is he on now?"

Copy Otter cried at Trent, "Is that all you got?"

Trent rose to his feet and cooly replied, "Actually, no. Super Dino Mode!" He tapped into his newfound power, and the black spikes on his suit quickly extended.

Conner was surprised by that, "He's got Super Dino Mode!"

Trent replied as he admired the new look and power, "And I like it!" He quickly balled up his fist in anticipation.

Copy Otter growled, "Big deal!' and fired blasts towards Trent.

With his new power, Trent easily ducked from the explosions.

Thinking he had defeated Trent, Copy Otter laughed, "Bye now!"

But then Trent cried, "We're not done yet!" and launched himself at the monster.

Copy Otter gasped as Trent grabbed him and sent them both flying, The monster groaned out as his back struck the trees, "But I thought we were on the same side!"

Trent declared, "Not anymore!"

Conner heard that and asked, "Is this another trick?"

Ethan was surprised as well, "Weird"

Kira couldn't hide the hope in her voice, "Trent?"

Tommy was also surprised by Trent's actions.

Trent struck Copy Otter with the edges of his suit. He walked away as his powers surged and Copy Otter exploded into pieces.

Mesogog saw the whole scene on his monitors, "You're trying my patience, rangers." He activated his Hydro Regenerator.

Copy Otter quickly grew, "Copy this, Rangers!"

Trent gasped, "Whoa!"

The main rangers got into defensive positions as Tommy summoned, "Brachio!"

Brachio quickly arrived on the scene with the main Dino Zords. The Dino Zords rushed to meet their masters, and the rangers quickly formed the Megazord.

Copy Otter cried, "I'm ready for you, Rangers!"

Tommy watched as the Megazord and Copy Otter prepared to battle, "I know you can take this guy!"

Tommy didn't know that Zeltrax was sneaking up behind him, "Stay focused!"

Zeltrax chuckled as he prepared to attack Tommy.

Tommy gasped as he turned just in time to see Zeltrax attack.

Zeltrax struck Tommy on the chest with his sword as Tommy groaned and fell to the ground, "You again!"

Zeltrax cried, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time." He raised his sword to strike his final blow.

Trent gasped, "No!" and rushed to help Tommy. He quickly used his sword to block Zeltrax's blow, "Get back, Zeltrax!"

Zeltrax gasped, "You!" surprised that Trent was protecting Tommy.

Trent kicked Zeltrax away, causing the cyborg to crash to the ground.

Tommy asked in confusion, "What's going on?" as Trent began to fight Zeltrax.

Zeltrax and Trent matched each other blow per plow, leaving Tommy more bewildered, "Okay, now I'm really confused."

Copy Otter grabbed his explosive peppers, "Let's pep thing up!" and launched them at the Megazord.

The rangers groaned as the explosions struck them as Copy Otter laughed, "Spicy!"

Trent backflipped and launched an energy beam from his sword at Zeltrax.

Zeltrax managed to duck and fired from his gloves, "Laser fire!"

Trent managed to duck behind a tree and groaned as Zeltrax shoved him.

Trent landed at Tommy's feet. Since Trent had saved him, Tommy charged at Zeltrax.

Tommy and Zeltrax began to fight and were matching blows. Zeltrax managed to kick Tommy to the side, when Trent rejoined the fight.

Trent and Zeltrax exchanged blows, and Trent managed to knock the cyborg backwards.

Zeltrax rolled up and began fighting with Tommy again. The two matched blows, but the cyborg landed a kick that sent Tommy backwards.

Zeltrax leaped at Tommy, preparing to land a hard blow with his feet on Tommy. Tommy braced himself, but Trent leaped up and knocked Zeltrax down.

Zeltrax crashed to the ground as Trent landed not too far from Tommy, "You will pay dearly for that, traitor!" He summoned a portal and disappeared from the scene.

Trent gasped as Zeltrax left, but asked Tommy, "Are you okay?"

Tommy was still weary of Trent, "What do you want?"

Trent cried, "Power Down!" and returned to his normal self. He walked towards Tommy.

Tommy raised his arms in caution, "Whoa, stop right there."

Trent pleaded, "Dr. Oliver, you've gotta listen to me."

Tommy cocked his head and decided to let Trent talk.

Copy Otter fired at the Megazord again, and the lasers struck dead center. The rangers groaned from the impact.

Ethan growled, 'Oh, it's on now!"

Conner summoned, "Ankylozord!"

Anklyozord heard Conner and took Tricera's place on the Megazord.

Copy Otter fired his lasers again, but Ankylozord did its shield formation and spun the lasers back at the monster.

Copy Otter groaned as his lasers backfired on him. The rangers cried, "Double drill attack!"

Both Ankloyzord's tail and the Tyranno Drill revved up and struck the monster. Copy Otter groaned and exploded, as the Megazord stood in victory.

Devin walked out the Cyperspace finally wearing his glasses. He was surprised as the four Cassidy's approached him, "Oh, Devin. Great, you're here!"

Devin looked at the four Cassidy's in bewilderment, "Okay, I think it might be time for a new prescription."

Cassidy #1 cried, "We have so much to do today."

Devin replied, "Yeah, I know, Cass. We've always got something to do. I'm trying—"

Cassidy #2 complained, "Well, obviously you're not trying because we're not actually getting anything done."

Devin defended, "No, I am. It's just, everywhere I go, there's Cassidy, Cassidy, Cassidy."

Cassidy #3 shrugged, "And the problem with that is?"

Devin replied, "Well, there's just too many Cassidy's to handle."

Cassidy #3 shouted, "Devin, I'm not actually asking you to handle me. I'm asking you to do what you're told."

Cassidy #1 chimed in, "Now if that's too hard for you to comprehend, I'm going to have to fire you because it's really starting to annoy me."

Devin got overwhelmed and took off his glasses, "I'm sorry, Cass. I just can't do this anymore." He walked away leaving the Cassidy's surprised.

Since Copy Otter was defeated, the Cassidy copies disappeared, leaving the original Cassidy alone.

Cassidy cried, "Whatever" and followed after Devin. She gently approached her friend, "Devin, do you need a hug?"

Devin shook his head as he finished studying his glasses, "Cass, it's okay. Let's just go." He threw his glasses into the trash as he and Cassidy left together. At least there was now only one Cassidy… the clones were too much for poor Devin to deal with.

After the battle, the rangers prepared to enter the Dino Lab.

Ethan asked, "Anyone know why Dr. O wanted us to meet him here?"

Kira replied, "He said something about a big surprise."

The stone wall opened revealing Trent inside the base, "Hey guys."

The rangers were shocked and got into defensive positions. Trent pleaded, "Hold on!"

Conner was surprised, but managed to growl, "Whoa… how did you get in here?"

Tommy and Kimberly were seated at the monitors and turned their chairs around as Tommy replied, "I let him in."

Conner cried, "What?!"

Ethan was surprised as well, "But he's…"

Kimberly declared as she and Tommy walked down to join the kids, "On our side now."

Ethan rolled his eyes in disbelief, "Yeah right. Every time we hear that, he burns us. Why should we believe him now?"

Tommy replied, "Because he saved my life."

Conner asked Trent, "Is that true?"

Trent nodded, "Yeah. I'm in control of the Dino Gem now. I want to use it to fight with you."

Kimberly revealed, "Zeltrax tried to sneak up on Tommy, and Trent protected him. I have it all on our monitors. Hayley's seen the footage as well."

Tommy reassured the rangers, "I wouldn't have brought him here if I didn't think he was telling the truth. But only you can decide whether or not you trust him."

Trent waited, hoping the rangers would accept him. Ethan shrugged "Well, I guess if Dr. O and Coach H are down with it, then I guess I'm onboard too."

Conner glared at Trent, but begrudgingly accepted as well, "Yeah, I guess we got no choice. Considering I'm kind of tired fighting you."

Trent was relieved that Conner and Ethan accepted him. He turned to face Kira. He sighed and gently grabbed her hands, "Look, I know I got a lot to make up for, but I promise, this time I won't let you down." He still loved Kira… he felt awful that he had hurt her and broken her trust while he had been evil. He hoped she would be able to forgive him.

Kira smiled… she still loved Trent; she had never stopped caring for him and was happy that he was good again. She honestly had thought Trent would stay evil forever, "Well, I guess everyone deserves one last chance."

She then gave a sly look at Conner and Ethan, deciding Trent needed a little hazing for all the trouble he caused before joining the team, "But, isn't there a rule that says newbie rangers have to wash all the zords?"

Ethan grinned at that, "Hey, I forgot about that rule."

Trent protested, "The Zords? But they're gigantic!"

Conner quipped as he, Kira, and Ethan handed Trent the cleaning supplies, "Yeah, they are. So… better get started."

Trent reluctantly sighed, "Thanks", knowing this was his payback for what he had done to his friends. The trio chuckled as Trent went to do the job they gave him.

Tommy just shook his head, as Kimberly chuckled, "Welcome to the team, Trent. In all fairness, you should have seen this coming."

In all honesty, the Power Rangers were relieved to finally have Trent on their side. They were glad that they didn't have to fight against him anymore. They had now gained a powerful ally in their fight against Mesogog… not knowing how hard it was for Trent to honor his father's wish to fight against his evil alter-ego.

Back at Mesogog's lair, Elsa found Zeltrax and warned, "Hey, Zeltrax. If I were you, I'd get out of here."

Zeltrax questioned, "Why?"

Elsa replied, "Well, now that the White Ranger has joined the others, Mesogog looked furious."

Zeltrax declared, "We haven't the battle yet."

Elsa rolled her eyes, "Yeah, right. How do we beat the White Ranger?"

Zeltrax picked up the remains of Copy Otter's copy machine, "I think the saying goes, Fight fire with fire."

Elsa realized what Zeltrax was holding, "The mutant's copy weapon."

Zeltrax nodded, "Yes, it came in quite handy before he was destroyed."

The doors opened and revealed the White Ranger Clone.

Zeltrax revealed, "He's an exact duplicate of the White Ranger, but with no trace of Trent Mercer in him. A soulless warrior that is 100% evil."

Elsa was impressed as the White Ranger Clone declared, "I am at your command."

The two villains smiled at the clone… the Power Rangers had no clue that the Evil White Ranger Clone existed and would be a valuable asset to their forces.
