-Warning I do not own Naruto or Power Ranger-

Chapter 12: Burning at Both Ends.

"I don't understand sensei, what's going on Sensei?" asked the blonde spiky haired shinobi

"I may have a theory," he sighed, stepping up to the group. "When Trent froze me in that amber, somehow my Dino Gem and my morpher must have remolecularised."

"Meaning?" Naruto was lost on the last part

"He's stuck," Hayley replied, before walking past Dr. O towards the computer.

"How do you always get into situations like this Tommy?" questioned Kimberly. Making the students snickered

"Sorry honey." Tommy rubbed the back of his helmet

"Speaking of Trent…" Hayley said getting their attention to the view screen clicked into life; depicting a scene of the Dino Stegazord stomping through the city as people below screamed and ran for their lives.

"And just when we thought we could get a break" Naruto eyes narrowed at the monitor

"It's what we signed up for, right buddy?" smirked Ethan patting his back

"Go," Tommy stated. "I'll see what we can figure out here."

Naruto nod while the others knew what to do. "DINO THUNDER POWER UP!" they all shouted and morphed.

"That's right, you better run!" the White Ranger yelled as lasers shot out from his Zords, blasting on the street.

"Fire all together!" Naruto ordered and while riding their Raptor Riders they fired off their lasers, hitting the Dino Stegazord in the chest a few times. They skidded to a stop and looked up. "Trent, That's enough!" Naruto shouted

"I'm just getting started!" their opponent laughed maniacally.

"If that's how you want to play, then we'll play, it's Zord time!" Naruto stated, and the Brachiozord came stomping by in response, dropping off the four Zords who quickly rushed together as did the Rangers, they called upon the Parasaurzord to replace the Tyrannozord arm.

"Make your move," the White Ranger stated.

"Now what's he up to?" Ethan frowned.

"I don't know but we have to stop him!" Kira replied, despite the slight ache in her heart.

"Get ready guys." Naruto told his team

Trent used his Drago Sword to draw a chain. "I hate to do this to you," he chuckled. "Nothing personal."

The chain shows out of the Dino Stegazord and wrapped around the Megazord, immobilizing them as the struggled to break free.

"We need Dinozord help!" Conner stated, pressing a button on his control panel. "Cephalazord!"

"Ankylozord!" Ethan joined in, both Zords came bounding towards them from different areas of the city, where they'd been hiding out.

"Perfect," the White Ranger grinned, drawing two circles of light with his weapon. "Containment fields, online!"

The two balls of light rushed out to surround the Cephalazord and the Ankylozord, and quickly turned into barrels that trapped the two Auxiliary Zords.

"The Hell?" Ethan frowned, watching as the Zords struggled within the barrels, only their heads sticking out at the top.

"Our Dinozords!" Naruto called. "Let them go you bastard!"

"Sorry, not going to happen," the White Ranger cackled.

"Trent, you've got to stop this!" Kira pleaded. "You're out of control!"

"Looks more like I'm in control," he grinned before the Megazord was blasted with an odd pink light that knocked it off balance. Inside the cockpit, the four Rangers fell against their controls, and by the time they looked up, the Dino Stegazord had disappeared – and the two Zords.

"What's the situation, Hayley?" Tommy with Kimberly asked as the Rangers grouped around her computer.

"It's no good," she sighed, typing as she shook her head. "He's got them in a force field."

"It's not Trent's fault, the gem is making him this way!" Kira protested.

"That doesn't matter anymore, from the way I see it we have to put him out before he does something really ugly and unforgivable." Naruto said

"The meteor thing was proof that there's still a part of him that's good." Kira pointed out

"What if, what if that was just some act, how do we know the meteor did turned him good at the time? even though he helped us he didn't stick around, I'm not taking that chance." he argued.

"Why are you being such a jerk?!" she yelled, stomping her foot on the ground as her fists clenched and her eyes narrowed.

"Because, you keep putting yourself out there and getting hurt more and more every time, even if you try to hide it I can still see it! I'm sick and tired of watching you get hurt because this guy, I almost lost an old teammate to a former comrade to a situation like this before and I refuse to let that happen again!" he shouted.

Kira flinched at this. Naruto was not no ordinary from what she remembered about his stories and fight against Sasuke, truth be told she has been pushing him away without realizing it and that wasn't fair to him, not when he had time and time again saved her.

"Slow down you two," Kimberly interjected, stepping between them. "Remember Tommy was in Trent's shoes once, if it wasn't for me and my friends he wouldn't be here today." Hayley nod

"Kim is right, they never gave up on me and I'm thankful for that." Tommy said.

"Okay, so we don't give up yet, what do we do?" Ethan asked.

"Go back to school, keep a low profile," Tommy told them. "Hayley, Kim or I will let you know if anything changes."

They nodded, and slowly walked out.

-a couple days later-

Naruto was in the training room practicing his martial art, any time soon Trent would start attacking, he still was feeling frustrated at the capture of the two Dinozords, but he plans to get them back. He stopped a mid-way kick when his phone went off indicating a text. grabbing a towel, he wiped the sweat from his face and grabbed a bottle of water downing it quick.

He checked his phone and got a message from Tori about the meteor and to meet her at the wind academy.

Few weeks back he got a chance to meet her sensei who permitted Tori to show him the academy after hearing about his shinobi past, this led to him teaching part time at the ninja academy.

This was too a perfect time to talk to Tori since he hadn't really talk to her when he handed her the object. He ran into his room and slipped on a pair of black shorts, shoes and a green sleeveless shirt.

Going down to the lab he saw the girls working on something while Tommy was on the computer. "Hey sensei, I'm going to borrow your jeep, Tori said she needs my help at the ninja academy."

"Aren't you supposed to be at school." Sternly questioned Kimberly with her arms crossed. Tommy didn't say anything while Hayley tried to keep a straight face but was having a hard time.

"Uh, well I sent a shadow clone instead, since I wanted to train." Naruto admitted.

She gave him the glare making him sweat. "Your lucky that Tommy can excuse you but don't make this a habit." warning him

"S-Sure Sis." Naruto promised and looked at Tommy

"That's fine Naruto, I'll inform you of any changes but please be at school next time." Said Tommy. Naruto nod and left.

Once arriving at the secret entrance at the waterfall, he saw Tori in her ninja gear water walking. grinning at this he got an idea, he jumped quietly on the water and silently sneaked up, before he had the chance to scare her when he touched her shoulder he was quickly flipped over onto his back.

"Nice try." She smirked and helped him back to his feet.

Naruto heard Kurama laughing his ass off. 'She dropped you ass quick'

Ignoring his partners words, he gave a sheepishly laugh. "Guess my stealth needs some work."

"To be honest I felt your signature as soon as you stepped on the water, I actually discovered this a few days ago and have been practicing it with the guys" she said.

"Oh, tell me more." He grinned as the two walked to the academy.

-ninja storm base-

Naruto was laughing hard when Tori told him the story of her ability and what happen to Dustin and Shane. "Oh man I bet they didn't see that coming."

"Well that'll teach them a lesson." She smirked.

The two had walked down the stairs to see Cam on a computer while the fragment piece from the meteor was in a tube hooked to some wires.

The green samurai ranger heard the two. "Good you two are here, I made have found something more about this meteor than I thought."

"What did you find out?" Naruto asked.

"First let me see your Dino gem." He asked. The Dino Ranger was taken back by the request, but he trusted Cam and took out the gem handing it over.

Cam went over to a device and put the gem inside where it got scanned and started to process the results, a minute later it showed on the screen which he looked at.

"Just as I figured, it seems this meteor has the same kind of reading just as you Dino gem, but the problem is that has the opposite effect."

"Meaning what Cam?" asked Tori

"If I were to let's say use it in a fight against Naruto, his Dino form would be slightly vulnerable leaving him exposed." Explained the samurai ranger.

Naruto eyes were wide, this is what he needs to take down Trent, but hopefully this won't kill him. He thought back to Kira thinking about their talk from yesterday at school.

(Flashback)

Naruto walked outside to find a place to sit, finding a table he sat down with his food which was a Burger and fries, before he picked his food, he heard someone sit down and looked up to see Kira.

He didn't say anything and just went to add ketchup to his fries, a minute had pass and neither of the two spoke, the quietness started to become awkward.

"Naruto."

"Kira"

Both paused and Naruto gave a sheepish chuckle. "Sorry, you go first." He said.

The yellow ranger replied with a small smile. "Naruto…I'm sorry...I've realized I been pushing you away because of…Trent, I have been acting as the weak link lately-

"Stop" He said sternly cutting her off. "You're not the weak link, you're a great ranger, remember you saved the team from that aged monster." He reminded her. "Not to mention your being taught by the first female Ranger."

Kira started to feel a lot better, even through the current problem with Trent, Naruto always somehow knows how to cheer her up.

"I'm sorry too…If I been acting like a jerk." He apologized.

Shaking her head. "Don't, even though you sounded harsh you were just looking out for me." She said not realize her hand of top of his.

Naruto smiled, happy to know she wasn't angry at him. Noticing her hand over his own, his cheeks blushed a little, giving a slight nudge to the yellow Ranger who too notice and quickly pulled her hand back and blushed. "Sorry."

A few seconds past with no word exchange between the too, Naruto broke the silent "It's alright, now let's enjoy our lunch."

(end flashback)

'I wonder whats she is doing now.' He wonders

Later that day, Kira walked through an open area of concrete, surrounded by buildings, somewhere in the city. The fingers of her right hand tapped at the side of her thigh with a beat from a song she was working on.

Suddenly, Trent appeared out of the wall in front of her, where he'd been using his chameleon powers to hide. Kira jumped back, startled.

"You know, you shouldn't walk to school alone," he stated, taking a step towards her. "You never know who you might run into."

"Trent?" her eyes flashed with slight hope but remembering Naruto's words she kept her guard up. "How, how did you do that?"

"You didn't think you were the only one with Dino Gem powers, did you?" he taunted, and her face fell as she recognized the evil and malicious tone of the White Ranger, not of the Trent she knew and cared for.

"I don't what you want but I don't want to fight you," she told him as calmly as possible, but a slight tremble in her voice betrayed her. He smirked.

"Well, that makes one of us," he chuckled, bringing his morpher up. "White Ranger, Dino Power!"

He morphed into the White Ranger, before chuckling darkly. "Bring it on."

She hesitated but memories of her being protected by Naruto flashed through her mind, she gave a harden look. "If that's how it has to be." she raised her morpher. "Dino Thunder, Power Up! Ha!"

Once she was morphed, he rushed forward, and the pair exchanged a series of kicks and punches, you would think Kira wouldn't be into it but on the contrary she was giving it all with a series of punches and then a front kick that Trent blocked and ducked under a punch but didn't expect a backfist which he barley avoided. They grabbed one another's arms, locking in a fight.

"Not bad, looks like you learned some new moves," Trent taunted

"Trent, it doesn't have to be this way!" she pleaded. "Why won't you let us help you?"

"I don't need anyone's help," he spat. "Least of all yours, especially Naruto, who I'll take pleasure of destroying."

The yellows Rangers felt really hurt but it changes to fury once he mentioned Naruto

"Don't you dare hurt him," she glared, trying to keep from trembling in the flurry of anger that was assaulting. "I don't care if you hurt me but leave him out of this!"

Eventually, she landed a blow with a kick to the face knocking him away, rolling away Trent got to his feet first drawing his Drago Sword. Kira followed up drawing her Petra Grips, and they charged against each other again.

Exchanging blows, sparks flew everywhere, until they broke apart yet again, and then leapt into the air, flying towards one another.

"Ptera Grips!"

"Drago Sword!"

Smashing into one another in mid-air, sparks flew again, but both managed to land on their feet moments later, before the White Ranger quickly drew his laser gun, just as Kira found her Thundermax Laser.

"Fire!" he bellowed, and before she knew it, pain racked her body and she fell to the ground, crying out. He too, fell to the ground, because she'd managed to get a shot in. As both Rangers lay still on the ground, a flash of green on the side drew their attention.

"Perfect timing!" Insectolite grinned as it and Zeltrax stepped up to their pair. "Should I infect them both?"

"No, do as we've been instructed," Zeltrax snapped. "Just the White one."

Kira looked up, straining against her pain as she looked towards the White Ranger. Insectolite stepped up over to him, shooting a bright orange beam of light that caused him to de-morph and groan loudly.

"What did you do?" Kira cried. They noticed her and exchanged glances before warping out in a flash of purple. She powered down, pushed herself to her feet and hurried over to the fallen White Ranger, worry etched in her voice. "Trent, are you okay?"

"Better than okay," he stated, managing to push himself into a sitting position. "I'm me."

Kira gasped, looking down at him, the guys will be happy to hear this and hopefully Naruto

Ethan, Conner and Naruto walked through the Reefside High School parking lot, having just gotten out of Conner's Mustang. They walked towards the sidewalk when Principal Randall caught up to them.

"Hey, you two!" she exclaimed. "I got an e-mail from that science teacher of yours. He's claiming to be too sick to work."

"Well, now that you mention it, he really didn't seem himself last time I saw him," Naruto lied brilliantly, and the other two were amazed at the ease it took him. "I'm sure Doctor Oliver will return as soon as he's feeling better. And in the meantime, I'm sure he wouldn't want you to worry about it."

"Yeah, w-well, I better not find out he's faking it," she stammered, before composing herself. "Or he can kiss his job good-bye."

With that, she stalked off and Naruto's fake smile fell. "A model of warmth and sympathy, that one," he muttered.

"I hear you on that." Agreed Conner

Ethan tapped them both on the shoulder, and they followed his gaze to find Kira on the stands by the soccer pitch, waving them over.

"What's she doing there?" Naruto's clone frowned. They walked off to find the Yellow Ranger. "What's up?"

"It's Trent," she stated, and his eyes narrowed.

"What now?" he muttered.

"You've got to see this. He's reformed." She informed and led them to a lower spot in the bleachers were Trent sat, staring downwards.

Naruto eyes slightly narrowed. Something didn't feel right at all.

"Trent, are you in there?" asked Ethan

"Hey," he smiled, standing up. "It's really me."

"One of Mesogog's monster attacks backfired," Kira stated.

"I think it released the Dino Gem's hold," Trent added.

"That doesn't make a whole lot of sense," Naruto frowned, he may not be a genius but even he knew this sounded off

"Guys, look," Trent sighed. "I'm really sorry for everything I've done to you. You got to believe it wasn't me. The Gem…it just took control…I couldn't do anything against it.

Ethan and Conner looked unsure, but Naruto silently had his guard up.

If there's anything I can do to make it up to you." He offered.

"How about returning our Zords, for starters?" Conner suggested.

"Right, well Meet me in the warehouse district this afternoon. I'll give you back your Zords, and I might have a little peace offering as well."

"We'll be there." Kira told him.

"Great, I'll see you then." With that he left.

"Somethings not right." Naruto said to the other.

"What do you mean? Trent just said he's back to normal, he's going to give us back the Zords." Kira told him

"But that still doesn't make sense, even for Mesogog's goons to backfire, somethings wrong" Clone Naruto said. He took out a kunai from his pocket and stabbed himself which freaked out the others until it vanished in a puff of smoke.

"Did Naruto just send a clone to ditch school.…man that is so unfair." Complained Conner.

"Where is he then?" she asked them. Ethan tried his best to act confused but failed miserably and felt a pair of eyes burning through him and knew it was from his Yellow Ranger companion "Ethan, where is he?" she questioned sternly.

The Blue Ranger sighed and knew Naruto was going to get him back.

(With Naruto and Tori)

Naruto and Tori were currently walking out the secret entrance. "Man, Cam is a genius." He praised.

Tori giggled. "Well If there's one person that we can rely on solutions it's Cam." he nods.

The two continue to walk for a minute till they were close to the vehicle. "Tori…about that kiss" he said making the former storm ranger blush.

Before he asked, he received the memories from his clone causing his expression to turn serious.

"What's wrong." She asked.

"It's Trent. Kira said that one of Mesogog's creatures attack backfire, breaking the hold from the Dino gem…or that's what he says."

Tori was familiar with this situation when she found Hunter faked being hurt only to infiltrate the base and kidnapped her sensei, those were dark memories. "What are you going to do?"

"I'm taking no chances. I'll meet with them but I'll be prepared." He said and hopped into the Jeep.

"Be careful." She told him.

He nods and turns the jeep on but before leaving, "When this is done, we'll see that movie." He told her with a grin

The water rangers heart started to beat fast and did her best to hide the blush that was rising. "Y-Yeah that be great."

"Alright, I'll see then." He said and drove off.

Watching him driving off, Tori silently prayed that he would be alright.

Unnoticed to the both, a microscopic creature recording the event and left through a green portal

In the afternoon, Trent sat on a box in a warehouse, beside something covered in a large white sheet. The Rangers arrived moments later, on their Raptor Cycles, already all morphed. Sitting on the Cycle behind Conner was the Black Ranger.

Smiling, Trent waved. "Hey over here!"

Dismounting, they walked to meet him in the middle of the warehouse room.

Trent's eyes narrowed slightly not seeing the green ranger. "Where's Naruto."

The guys looked over at each other but Kira on the other hand balled a fist in irritation, she was not to thrilled when she heard Naruto was with Tori.

"He had to take care of something for me. Hope you don't mind, I tagged along" Tommy stated.

"Dr. Oliver. You're okay?" asked Trent

"More or less."

"I hate to get right to the point," Conner stepped up. "But I don't see any Zords around."

"I thought we'd start with the peace offering I promised first," Trent stated, walking over to the sheet. He pulled on it, and it slipped away, revealing the Black Dino ATV.

"Whoa," Tommy breathed.

"Sweet!" the other Rangers agreed.

"I figured you guys could use the help against Mesogog," Trent pointed out. "Who wants to try it out first?"

"Make way!" Ethan announced, before Tommy placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Sorry Ethan, I think It's better If I try it first."

"Aw man," he sighed, and Tommy stepped forward happily walking up to the ATV. He climbed on as Trent watched.

"Good work," he nodded appreciatively. "12-stroke engine?"

"Yeah, sure is," Trent replied, making Tommy look up.

"They don't make 12-stroke engines, Trent."

"Yeah, Mesogog doesn't make monsters that turn people good, either," he smirked evilly, leaping over the ATV and kicking it into gear. It shot forward and the other Rangers jumped out of the way as the Black Dino ATV went ploughing through some boxes and out the doors.

"Dr. O!" the Rangers shouted, and Kira turned to look at Trent.

"Trent… How could you." she breathed, and he shrugged.

"It's all part of the survival of the fittest, Yellow Ranger," he laughed, using a term of utter distancing and coldness that made her cringe and tremble with both anger and sadness.

"You'll pay for this," Conner vowed

Grinning evilly, Trent stuck two fingers in his mouth and whistled. A White Dino ATV appeared from another part of the warehouse.

"Later, suckers," he stated before leaping into the air, morphing as he did, and getting onto the ATV. He revved the engine and took off after the Black Ranger. As the Rangers turned to follow, Insectolite and a crowd of Tyrannodrones appeared through a flash of green, in their path.

"Not so fast!" the monster cackled. "You're not going anywhere!"

"Try and stop us!" Conner glared. "Come on, guys!"

He, Kira and Ethan ran back to their Raptor Cycles and drove at the crowd firing their lasers at them."

Naruto was in his Dino form on the Raptor cycles driving as fast as he can, arriving near the warehouse he heard multiple blast and saw the direction it came from which he drove too.

Driving mid-way, he saw his sensei on a black ATV hopping over a blast that he followed which belong to one man.

Trent, and by the looks of it seems he made a new toy.

"I knew it." He growled, kicking up his engine he sped towards the battle, just when the lasers fired at Tommy Naruto fired his own which collided and cancel both attacks.

"Good timing." Tommy said looking at his student

"Sorry about the delay, traffic jam." Naruto joked

"Oh good, you here, I was beginning to think you were afraid." Taunted Trent

"Go help the other's sensei, I got this." Naruto told him.

Tommy nod and drove away.

Both men were looking at each other for any movement, silent was in the air but all could be heard were both engines, at the same time both kicked up their nitro and sped towards one other firing their lasers. the attacks smashed against one another, but neither refused to give and continued to fire multiple times which all connected another.

"Laser fire power." Trent shot a strong beam of laser at Naruto but luckily.

"Dragon force field active." Naruto insert the Dragonzord coin on his cycle which created a green force field which redirected the attack back at the Trent who did a U turn avoiding the attacks.

"looks like you got some new inventions, time to take it up a notch." Trent said, "Laser fire full power." He shot a more powerful laser beam towards the green ranger who took the attacks head on with the force field, but it took heavy damage dropping the shield in time when the attack stopped.

Naruto brought out his Dragon sword and passed by with a slash to the evil ranger across the chest knocking him off his vehicle. Naruto skid his bike to a stop and got off charging with his blade, Trent got up with his Drago sword and too charged.

The two weapons collided as the Rangers started to exchange attacks, sparks danced around them with each attack being made with their blade.

Naruto quickly drew his dragon dagger and slashed his opponent follow by a corkscrew kick sending Trent tumbling back, regaining his stance.

"Alright that's it!" shouted the white Ranger and created a dozen of laser arrows, Naruto acted quick and played the dagger creating a shield which redirected the attack knocking Trent on his back.

Naruto dropped his arms down. "How does it feel for once being knocked down on your ass, and I haven't even gone Super Dino Mode yet."

Trent growled in anger and manages to get back up to his feet, smoke was still sizzling off the suit. He got back on his ATV and drove away.

Naruto ran back to his cycle and chased after him.

"Fire!" Insectolite roared, and lasers shot towards Kira and Ethan. being thrown from his Cycle in the process Ethan crashed into a parked car. Kira on the other hand fell off and her Cycle crashed into some boxes.

Leaping over some boxes, Conner went to fire his Cycle laser at Insectolite but the bug monster beat him to it, sending a blast which knocked him off the red cycle crashing into some barrels.

"Connor!" Ethan called, he and Kira stumbled over to him.

"You alright?" Kira inquired.

"Yeah," Conner nod."

"Is that all you got?" Insectolite shouted, and the Rangers stood together, facing him.

"Super Dino Mode!" they yelled, and their uniforms shifted with power.

"Super what?" Insectolite questioned.

They then took off towards the monster and the Tyrannodrones, who met them halfway. As Ethan and Kira took on the horde of Tyrannodrones, Conner kicked away at Insectolite.

"Tyranno Power!" he yelled, leaping through the air, where he dodged a bunch of lasers from the monsters. He dodged, landing to one side. "Nice try, crazy freak!"

Meanwhile, Ethan grabbed onto two monsters at once, swinging them forward into a pack of barrels. A little ways away, Kira somersaulted onto a box, where she turned and kicked three following Tyrannodrones in the faces.

When Insectolite jumped away and Tyrannodrones replaced him, Conner easily kicked them away, and he, along with the other two Rangers, turned to face Insectolite.

"Your bikes are history!" it yelled, "We're through here, bye!"

Just then, Dr. O and Naruto came flying through the open doors on the ATV and a cycle, shooting at Insectolite. They came skidding to a stop in front of the four Rangers, getting off the ATV and cycle.

"Well, at least you're okay and you're here." Ethan pointed out as they looked towards Insectolite.

"Later days!" it yelled, before disappearing in a flash of green. In his place arrived the White Ranger, on his White Dino ATV.

"See my friends have been keeping you busy," he chuckled, before climbing off and glancing at the three Raptor Cycles strewn around the room. "Someone's been careless with their toys."

"Says the guys who was just getting his ass handed to him a minute ago by me, looks like your losing your touch" Naruto taunted which worked, seeing the rangers hand balled into a fist

"You're making a mistake, Trent," Tommy stated. "Don't trust Mesogog."

"Who says I do?" he scoffed. "I got what I wanted. Good-bye Rangers."

"One last chance Trent, hand over our Zords." Naruto coldly demanded.

"Say good-bye to them," He jumped onto his ATV.

"Trent, don't do this!" Kira pleaded one last time, before he turned and sped out of the warehouse, never looking back.

Naruto was going to chase him, but Tommy stopped him shaking his head.

He watched Trent vanish.

(Ranger Base)

Back at the Ranger Base, the Rangers stood around, still morphed but with their helmets off (well, except Tommy, who's still stuck). Hayley sat near, working at the computers.

"So let's get this straight?" Naruto inquired. "Trent made a deal with Mesogog, pretending to let Insectolite turn him back into himself, and making one of you guys the bait to trick into taking the rigged ATV?"

"That sums it up." Ethan said.

Naruto turned to the yellow ranger who had a hurt expression and sighed heavily. "I'm such an idiot," she muttered. "I believed all the stuff he said, when he was really just feeding me more lies…again."

"Kira we all make mistakes, even I do." Naruto stated, looking down at her with a sympathetic smile. "It could've happened to any of us."

"No, it couldn't. You've lost all faith in him, Ethan's distrustful, Dr. O's hard to get to," she groaned. "I'm the only one that's truly an easy target because I…I still believe in him…"

"It's like Kimberly said, Sensei wouldn't be here if his friends had all given up on him," Naruto told her, even though he still didn't like and trust Trent, his sensei always said a Ranger doesn't give up.

"I thought…I thought you said it was stupid to try?" she sniffled, frowning.

"Yeah well…a Ranger doesn't gives up right?," he coughed a little shyly, looking away. "Just, don't feel bad about it anymore, okay?"

"Okay," she smiled slightly, nodding.

"So, he made a deal with Mesogog. That's a new low." Conner said

"And risky," Ethan added. "Trent was supposed to beat us. Mesogog's not going to be happy."

"Lighting the candle at both ends, the White Ranger's bound to get burned," Tommy stated.

"And burned badly." Added Naruto with a small smirk

"And I think I know how to get the fire going," Hayley pointed out, turning away from the computers to look at them. "The ray used by Insectolite destroyed your energy shields. I bet if you could get that creep to aim his energy-buster at the Zords…"

"We could break through Trent's shield around them," Kira finished. Hayley nodded.

"Okay great, small problem. How is Trent going to feel about all this?" asked Ethan

"Every trap needs its bait," Naruto told them gaining their attention.

Walking around the warehouse district again, the Rangers had returned their helmets to their heads as they wandered.

"Trent!" Kira called. "Where are you?"

"We got to talk to Bro!" Connor added.

"Trent!" Ethan Called out

"You made a deal with Mesogog, now it's time you made one with us," Tommy stated.

Naruto had his weapons out sensing something.

Appearing from out of nowhere, the morphed White Ranger ran towards them in super speed, attacking with his Drago Sword. They were all knocked away, but Naruto leapt to his feet right after, locking himself in a fight with Trent.

Dodging Trent's sword, the two battled with their blades exchanging strikes, they clashed their weapons battling for dominance.

"You wanted to see me?" the White Ranger inquired.

"We wanted to make a little deal of our own!" Naruto stated.

"I don't make deals with posers," he scoffed, and Naruto glared.

"Take that back!" he growled and threw Trent sword aside and continued to fight.

Naruto ducked to avoid a blow from Trent, and the latter used the Green Ranger's shoulders as a springboard to leap into the air. He landed on a high wall, looking down.

"You just won't learn, will you?" Trent smirked.

"Learn what?" Naruto frowned as the others came up beside him.

"The White Ranger always wins," Trent grinned before raising his Drago Sword and disappearing in a flash of white.

"Running like a coward." Naruto called out

Dr. O's communicator beeps and he raised it to speak. "Go."

"It's working," Hayley confirmed. "The monster is back, on the other side of the warehouse."

"Got it," Tommy nodded, before the Rangers ran off to find Insectolite, looking around.

"There he is!" Naruto exclaimed.

As Insectolite turned, Kira tapped the Green Ranger on the arm. "Great way of being stealthy, Ninja boy," she laughed, and he shrugged sheepishly.

"Out of my way!" the monster yelled. "I've been sent to get the white one!"

As they rushed forward, they attempted to attack separately, but failed miserably. So together, Kira and Naruto ran forward kicking him equally and it caused him to be knocked backwards, falling to the ground.

It rolled, getting up again as the Rangers drew their Sabers. This didn't do anything as Insectolite blasted them off their feet with lasers. Frustrated, Tommy got to his feet and drew his Brachio Staff.

"Energy Orb!" he shouted, and he swung his Brachio Staff in a circle, creating his energy orb before firing it at the creature, who staggered back.

Conner, Ethan, Naruto and Kira jumped up, coming close.

"Let's help him out, guys!" Naruto stated. "Velox Talons!"

"Ptera Grips!"

"Tyranno Staff!"

"Tricera Shield!"

Kira leapt into the air, hitting Insectolite as she flew past him.

Conner then slammed the end of the Tyranno Staff into the ground, grabbing it and kicking Insectolite as he spun around on it.

Ethan was next, stabbing Insectolite with his Tricera Shield and spinning him around in the air.

Naruto was last and jumped in the air as Ethan threw the monster and gave a blurry of slashes and a hard kick sending it crashing against a stone wall

"That got him," He grinned, seeing that the monster wasn't moving to get up.

"Yeah," Tommy nodded, walking over. "Help me load him up."

Trent sat on his White Dino ATV, looking up at the trapped Zords through the dim light filtering through the forest from the sunset. "Looks like your friends are trying to save you," he snickered. "Fools."

As the Zords roared, the Rangers rode through the woods nearby on their Raptor Riders. Attached to the back of the Black Dino ATV was Insectolite, yelling and screaming to be free.

"Faster buddy." Conner told his raptor

"Hang on Zords!" Called out Kira

"We'll never make it, where did Naruto go!" Ethan groaned

"He went to call somebody." Tommy stated confusing them.

-With Naruto-

Naruto came to a stop with his Raptor Rider near the ocean. "Alright friend, time to wake up." He pulled out the Dragon Dagger and played the flute.

The middle part of the ocean started to boil, and a pair of red eyes were shown swimming across, soon enough the Dragonzord started to rise out the sea and roared with its drill tail whipping around.

"You up for a battle?" asked Naruto

The Dragonzord pounded its fists together repeatedly which the Green Ranger took as a sign of yes.

"Alright let's go." Naruto said and got back on his Raptor and rode away while playing the dagger leading the Dragonzord.

The four Rangers with their Raptors and ATV pulled to a stop as they finally reached the Zords. They dismounted and Tommy walked over to their prisoner.

"No!" Insectolite yelled. "Let me go!"

"This is your cue, Insectolite." He grabbed the monster, dragging him off the ATV and pushing him towards their trapped Zords. "Go on, do it."

Insectolite readied its lasers, only to be blasted in the back by one. The Black Ranger turned to see the White Ranger standing near, holding his Drago Sword. "You're too late."

"Oh, man." Tommy groaned

"See ya," he stated, pointing to the Zords as he walked away, and a huge explosion went off.

"Come on!" Conner called and all three Rangers stumbled over to where the explosion took place.

"Oh no!" Kira gasped, seeing that it was where their Zords had been. Smoke billowed out from the now empty barrels, and their breaths caught in their throats.

"It Can't be." Tommy was shocked.

The shock was broken when two giant figures came out the smoke revealing to be the Zords.

"They survived," Ethan pointed out.

The Rangers began to stumble as the ground shook. Frowning, the Rangers looked up to see the Dino Stegazord stomping towards them. "Dino Zords," the White Ranger barked. "Attach!"

Suddenly, against all odds, the Cephalazord and Ankylozord jumped back and joined with the Dino Stegazord. The excitement the Rangers had felt left them in a flash.

"Our Zords, He did it again, Just like the Stegazord!" exclaimed Conner

"Another trick," Kira muttered sadly.

"I thought they would make a nice addition to my collection," the White Ranger bellowed. "The starfish device was just to re-program them to obey me."

"You're not going to get away with this," Tommy added, bringing up his morpher. "Brachio!"

His Zord lumbered through the woods towards them, depositing the Tyrannozord, Pterazord, and Tricerazord. The four corresponding Rangers left his side to merge with their Zords and then create the Thundersaurus Megazord.

"Let's make him pay," Conner stated, and his team nodded.

"You can't afford it," Trent chuckled, before punching the Megazord with the Cephalazord arm. Inside the Thundersaurus cockpit, sparks flew, and electricity fizzed all over the walls. "Ankylozord! Drill Tail!"

Sustaining another attack, the Megazord fell to the ground, smoking slightly.

"Now you're beginning to get it," he laughed maniacally. "Why don't you just surrender the rest of your Zords to me?"

"If you think we'd to that," Conner scoffed. "You're crazier than I thought."

"Then I'll take them." Grinned Trent

The Dino Stegazord marched forward, raising the Ankylozord Drill again while the Rangers yelled for him to stop, to see reason.

Before he could land the hit, rockets flew and struck the back of the Dino Stegazord knocking it away.

"What was that?" asked Ethan

"I don't know?" Conner confused as Ethan.

"Look!" Kira told them.

The Dragonzord roared signaling its present, Naruto jumped on the head. "Just in time, guess I was 'cutting' it close." He emphasized on the cutting word, trying to lighten the mood.

The three rangers groaned at the pun. "Really Naruto." Groaned Kira

"Oh good you're here, and look at that another Zord for my collection," Trent stated getting his Megazord back up and went after the Dragonzord and went to struck it with his Cephalazord arm but the Dragon was too fast and dodged the attacks retaliating with its own punches left and Right to the Megazord sending it stumbling back before regaining its balance.

"Play time is over, Ankylozord! Drill Tail!" he thrusted the drill, but Naruto played his dagger triggering the Dragonzord to whip it's drill tail against the Ankylozord drill creating an ear-piercing screech making Naruto's team cover their ears.

They broke apart and would have continued had it not been for two laser blast beams hitting both Zord and Megazord coming from Insectolite who was now giant size." "Sorry to crash this party White ranger but my master hates being double crossed."

Trent growled getting back up. "Out of my way insect!"

Naruto crashed on the ground and slowly tried to get back on his feet, thankfully Tommy helped him.

"You alright?" his Teacher asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, looks like I'm going to have to bring out the big guns." He lifted his morpher and the silver Dragozord appeared over it. "Dragozord activate."

The Silver Flying Zord flew in and across Insectolite damaging it.

"Dragonzord Battle Mode formation." He called and soon the two Zords formed Dragonzord fighting mode. Naruto jumped in the Megazord. "Alright, let's do it."

The White Ranger finishes Mesogog's creature with the Ankylozord drill and exploded. "Now where were we." Said Trent turning around with his Megazord but didn't expect to be hit with a slash and kicked away.

"How do you like me now." Naruto smirked

The Dino Stegazord and Dragonzord clashed, The Ankylozord drill was blocked by the Dragonzord staff drill and was slashed by the Drago head spear.

The Dragonzord was suddenly hit by the Cephalazord arm a couple times pushing it back.

"Let's see if this works, Raptorzord activate." Naruto called his Zord who popped out the ground landing next to him, it started to transform into its claw form attaching to Naruto's Dragonzord. "Sweet, it worked." He cheered.

"So, what if you got another Zord, it won't make much of a different." Stated Trent not bothered by this.

Naruto had his Dragonzord charged with its claw up blocking the Cephalazord arm and started to spin fast as a tornado slashing the Dino Stegazord many times and fell back.

"Drago spear Intercept." The Dragonzord picked up the staff and aimed with the drago head, it threw the staff like a javelin and struck the Megazord causing major damage and sparks, soon enough the two Zords broke free.

"He did it!" cheered Ethan

"Awesome, that's my man" praised Conner

"Naruto…" Kira was amazed.

"Great job Naruto." Tommy said watching the event.

"You have got on my nerves long enough Green Ranger, next time I'm finishing you off, for good.," Trent growled, before he and his Dino Stegazord disappeared.

Back at the Dino Lab, Connor and Ethan sat against the front of the Black Dino ATV, exhausted and sore, while Naruto and Kira sat behind them, with the Yellow Rangers head on his shoulder. Tommy, meanwhile, paced nearby with Kimberly looking a little worried for him.

"Even when outdone, Trent still won't give up." Said Conner

"Yeah, I mean, why couldn't he?" Ethan groaned.

"Good thing I never give up, I have good news and bad news" Hayley stated, walking up to them and getting their attention. She pointed at, Blue, Yellow and Red Rangers bikes. "Good news is, your bikes are fixed."

"Awesome," Ethan grinned.

"Thanks Hayley." Conner appreciated

"You're the best." Kira said.

"Just don't do it again, okay?" the redhead asked. "And, as a bonus, I reprogrammed the ATV. It should come in handy."

"And the bad news?" Naruto frowned

"The bad news is, the two Zords were heavily damaged during the battle, it'll take some time to repair them." Hayley admitted

Naruto fist clenched in anger, these Zords weren't just objects but they were part of the team.

"On the bright side, at least you got the Zords back." Said Kimberly

At this, Tommy turned to face them. "Kim's right and We're going to need all the help we can get," he sighed. "If Trent and Mesogog team up for good, we're going to have a real battle on our hands."

"Then that means we need to step up our game and be prepared., cause next time, we won't hold back." Naruto said

The others nod in agreement. His eyes widen and looked at the time which was close to nine.

"I'll be back guys." He told them and left the lab. Once out the clear he made a shadow clone. "Go back to the guys." He told the clone who left after that.

Naruto went upstairs to change and quickly went to pick up Tori

(Mesogog's lair)

Frustrated and growling, Mesogog sat in his chair, with Zeltrax and Elsa standing in front of him.

"Why must you continue to fail at bringing me the White Ranger?"

"My lord," Elsa began. "You yourself have experimented on the White Gem. Its powers are unfathomable…However I have something that should interest you." She said.

"…Go on…" Mesogog allowing her to continue.

She went to the computer and plugged in the microscopic creature, the video played showing Naruto's talk with Tori and asking her out.

"What does have to do with anything Elsa." He hissed.

"My lord, it seems the Green Ranger has Interest in this girl, if we can kidnap her, we can force the Green Ranger to our will, this will also give us a chance to know more about that power." She explained.

Mesogog pondered at the idea, ever since seeing this power, he's had the desire to acquire it, it could be the key he needs to destroy the Rangers and complete his goal.

"Have the Tyrannodrones ready, do not fail me. Now get out of my sight. I need time to think."

"Yes, my lord," Zeltrax nodded, he and Elsa left the room and prepared. Once the doors closed behind them, Mesogog stood up, walking across the room. He raised one scaly hand to his face, to see it glowing a pale purple.

"No," he hissed. "No!"

His body was suddenly covered in purple light, which flashed orange, and then purple again. As it did, flashes of Anton Mercer appeared. "Control it!"

The light flashed orange, and the dino-monster was transformed into Anton Mercer. "Before he controls me," he stated, straightening his tie and walking out.

As the doors closed behind him, Trent appeared out of the wall against which he had concealed himself with his chameleon powers. 'Green Ranger, you are finished.' Laughing evilly, he walked away
