What's in your world Chapter 6: Zord Hunting, a power rangers fanfic

AN: Have any of you ever had a virus in your computer before? Well, if you haven't, you can step into my shoes for a bit, for I had not just one, but a couple get into my PC and as a result pretty much screwed up everything in the system for quite some time now. Fortunately I kept all my important stuff in my jump drives so I wasn't worried too much. However, I was unable to type anything on my PC for a while until me and my folks finally got a new PC (And one that's not ancient at that) so I was finally able to write again. Hopefully no virus gets in this one this time around.

Chapter 6-Zord Hunting

So much for hoping this broad and her cronies wouldn't try to bust up our plan. Trent thought to himself as he and his teacher took up a fighting stance.

"You know, if I actually had a quarter for every time we could predict what you Rangers would do next, I'd be, as you humans would say, 'gut-stinking filthy rich'." Elsa smirked as she, the White Ranger clone and the Tyrannodrones slowly approached the two Rangers.

"Yeah well, too bad that hasn't helped you as of late." Trent shot back.

"Well…we'll see about that." Elsa said.

(1 day ago…)

"The Aleutian Trench?" Hayley asked incredulously once she closed up the cyber café and met up with Tommy and the others at the Dino Ruins. "It's in the Aleutian Trench?"

"Yep." Tommy replied.

"But that's more than 25,000 feet deep, how the hell are you going to be able to cover that much ground?"

"That's where the zords come in." Tommy said.

"But Tommy, their CPUs function from the DNA of the Dinosaur they were modeled from though." Hayley said. "And that might be a bit of a problem."

"How so?" Conner asked.

"Put simply, aside from Tommy's Brachio Zord (whose real counterpart actually could step in water so therefore the Zord itself could actually function properly), the rest probably won't be as efficient as they normally would be if they were above water, on regular ground." Hayley clarified.

"Oh yeah." Tommy realized, remembering all too well the time when he and his old friends had to use the original Megazord in the ocean to find a pearl belonging to a creature named Oysterizer. Needless to say, because the Zord wasn't meant to work in water, there were some complications that arose and it took his old Dragonzord, (which was water-based) to step in and help them until they got out of the water to deal with the monster.

"So what do we do then?" Kat asked.

"What if we take them all underwater in Megazord mode?" Kira asked. "Would that help at all, or…"

"Function-wise, yeah; movement though…not by much." Hayley replied. "It'd still be like moving underwater with astronaut suits on. Only in this case it'd be in a giant robot."

"Well, at least it won't be like we're frozen or anything." Ethan pointed out.

"So I guess the question now is, how are we going to find the Dinozord egg when we get down there?" Kira asked.

"What about the Megazord's Seismic Receiver?" Trent suggested. "Couldn't that help?"

"It would, but we would have to know where the egg is specifically." Hayley said. "We can't just use it on a spot where we think the egg might be, 'cause then all we'd be doing is just another 8.9 on the Richter scale."

"In other words, a Megazord-style earthquake." Ethan translated.

"What if we were to use the energy from my dino-gem with the receiver to track the egg down?" Kat proposed. "I think that way might help us find it a lot faster, and we wouldn't have to worry about accidentally creating an earthquake if we could help it."

It only took a second for Kat's suggestion to get right into everyone's brains before a smile then spread around all their faces.

Y' know, I think this is probably the first time I've got the proverbial egg on my face, and I'm not irate about it. Hayley thought with an acknowledging grin.

For the rest of the afternoon and somewhat into the night the group worked on trying to link up the Thundersaurus Megazord's seismic receiver with the energy readings on Kat's dino gem. It was only the seven of them at first, but as the night drew near Tommy's students had to reluctantly leave to catch up on sleep and not worry their folks so then it was Hayley, Kat and Tommy. Unfortunately, while they were able to get the Megazord's own tracking system linked up with Kat's dino gem energies, they weren't able to do the same thing on the Seismic Receiver (Or at least, not to the extent that they wanted). Fortunately Hayley was able to find a way to modify the receiver that, while it wouldn't help track the dinozord egg down, it would hopefully make retrieving it a lot easier once they actually found it. The entire process surprisingly didn't take as long as they thought, which was quite a relief.

"I don't know whether to be relieved by the fact that it was a lot easier than I thought, or just be a little bit freaked out." Hayley remarked as she slumped back onto the chair.

"Hey, what matters is we got it done." Kat said.

"You can say that again." Tommy said as he smiled at both of them.

The next day, right after school let out, Tommy, along with his students headed to his house to get the zords ready. Kat, because of her classes wouldn't be able to join them until after 4:30, but it did give Tommy and the others some time to work with until she did, hoping that everything would be good and ready when she showed up. Hayley, due to the fact that she had a cyber café to run, couldn't be there either, but she did wish them all luck.

"So how's it going so far?" Kat asked once she got there.

"So far, so good, all that's left now is to do one more thing on the zords and we'll be all set." Tommy replied.

"What's left?" Kat asked.

"First, I'm going to put in a little program for the zord's mobility when they're in Megazord form. It's not going to give them full movement as if they were on regular ground, but it should help slightly."

"That's good." Kat remarked.

Tommy answered with a smile as he finished typing in his code and hit ENTER. After a couple of minutes a dialogue box appeared saying, PROGRAM UPLOAD COMPLETE.

"Okay, done." Tommy said to his students the as soon as he saw the dialogue box.

"All right, let's get to it." Conner said as he rubbed his hands together and walked over to the center with Ethan, Kira, and Kat in tow. Tommy was staying behind to keep an eye on the tracking system and guide everyone on his end, and Trent, given the fact that the clone still had control over the Dragozord, also was staying to help his teacher out as well as being ready just in case Mesogog tried to do an attack on Reefside while they were looking for the Dinozord.

"Ready?" Conner asked as his morpher appeared.

"Ready." Replied his friends and Kat.

"Dino-Thunder, power up!"

As soon as Conner, Ethan, Kira, and Kat were morphed they headed into the Brachiozord, which surprisingly had their three zords already in their Megazord form and ready to go. Once they were inside the Brachiozord and got in their Megazord, the carrier zord then stepped into what Hayley called the "Powerportal". Ever since Tommy and Hayley had discovered invisiportals while they were prepping the Ranger energies, Hayley had been trying to find a way to duplicate them for Ranger uses, since teleportation was not going to be an option for them. Though she wasn't completely able to replicate the invisiportal technology, Hayley found she was able to use what she had invented with the technology in the vehicles/zords and interlink them together to where her own version of the invisiportal would work to where if the Rangers needed their zords or vehicles, they would be transported there via Hayley's homemade invisiportal network. The only downside to it was that because of the fact that Hayley had limited resources on hand, the zords/vehicles could only be brought to them instantly if they were within Reefside's limits.

No sooner did the Brachiozord step into the Powerportal did it instantly appear in the Pacific Ocean near California.

So this is how it's like now in these things. Kat thought as she tried to keep her balance and not fall. Fortunately, much like her boyfriend's students, whose feet were somehow fixed on the floor, (but not to a point where they couldn't move) Kat's feet were the same.

"Okay Dr. O. We're in the ocean." Conner said.

"Good." Tommy replied. Thank God we were able to get the transport system's boundaries enhanced a little more than just only Reefside's city limits. He thought with a relief before he entered in some code on the mainframe's console, calling up a dialogue box that said, VERIFICATION COMPLETE. PROGRAM READY.

"Okay, everything's set, so all you have to do now is activate it on the interface console. Just concentrate and the system will do the rest." Tommy said.

Conner and the others (including Kat, who while she didn't have her own interface console, used Kira's since she was closer to hers) then placed their gloved hands on their respective interface consoles, activating the program they had helped Tommy and Hayley with and bringing up a readout on their HUD that looked like an arrow and some numbers next to it. In addition, Kat's morpher lit up brightly for a moment, catching the attention of the foursome before flickering out.

"Doc, we got two things that just popped up on our HUD now…" Ethan reported.

"Good. One of them should be the compass, and the other should be the distance between you and where the Dinozord egg is." Tommy answered.

"Yeah, we got them both." Kat said.

"Okay, then you guys are good to go." Tommy said.

"How long is this going to take though?" Conner asked.

"Well, give or take…hopefully I'd say between 30 minutes to an hour." Tommy answered.

"That long?" Kira asked.

"Well, given how 'fast' the Brachiozord moves…yeah." Tommy said.

"Wait, I thought Hayley said this thing could move pretty good in water." Conner pointed out.

"She meant more in the sense that it would function all right." Tommy clarified. "The Brachiozord could move into water and be okay, but the water pressure would make it move even slower than it would on land."

"Then what the hell was the freakin' point in using it to get us to the trench?" Ethan asked incredously.

"Because thanks to a feature I put in shortly after I got both my gem and the zord, you should be able to get there within the time I just mentioned." Tommy said as he typed in some code and pressed ENTER. No sooner did he do that the Rangers then feel a rumbling around them. What they couldn't see was that the Brachiozord had lifted itself off the ocean floor as if doing a leap of sorts, but then its feet then turned as if the carrier zord was trying to stand on its tiptoes in mid-water. The bottom part then retracted and opened, revealing a propeller, which then extended out of each foot and started to rotate.

"Tommy, what happened?" Kat asked.

"I activated a propeller system in the Brachiozord so it can get you guys there faster." Tommy answered.

"Oh, good, 'cause for a second there I thought Conner's stomach had come to life all on its own." Ethan joked, which got a laugh out of everyone within earshot.

"Anyway, it should speed things up for you guys." Tommy continued.

"Thanks Dr. O." Conner said.

"Be careful out there guys." Trent said.

"Don't worry, we'll be alright." Kira replied.

"Y' know Dr. O, given the fact that the Brachiozord's got propellers, I wonder: did you by chance install a PS2 somewhere in here?"

Tommy and Trent chuckled, while Conner gave his friend a questioning look.

"What? It's going to be a while before we actually get to the trench itself. We kind of need something to pass the time." Ethan explained.

"Sadly Ethan, no, I did not; but if next time we have to do something like this, I'll think about it putting it in." Tommy said.

"You and your games Ethan." Conner said in semi-exasperation.

"Oh, come on, and you didn't like FIFA 2005?" Ethan challenged.

Conner contemplated a comeback comment, but he couldn't come up with one.

"Okay, a little." He said, trying not to make it sound like Ethan had gotten him good, especially since given the fact that he actually enjoyed playing the game…a lot.

"Lord Mesogog!"

Mesogog then looked up from the experiment that he was working on to face his general as she stepped in to the lab.

"This had better be good, Elsa." He said, not hiding the irritation in his voice.

"As a matter of fact, it is." Elsa said with a smirk as she walked up to a console and started punching some keys. Eventually a satellite picture of the West Coast appeared on one of the monitors, with a blip near Oregon moving northward. "I was having our tracker do another check for that energy source we were looking for, and while it was, it picked up this."

As she finished her sentence she then typed some more before the satellite picture then zoomed in and turned into actual footage of the ocean, but more specifically, the blip on the map then turned into the Brachiozord itself, moving briskly, but surely through the water on its propeller feet.

"Not only that, but the tracker picked up (for a brief second anyway) an energy spike coming from inside the Zord, one that matches exactly what we're looking for."

"What is the match specifically?" Mesogog asked with a raised eye.

"The Pink Ranger's." Elsa replied with a slight hint of irritation.

As soon as she said that did the wheels start to turn in Mesogog's head. Elsa knew right then she didn't need to tell him anything else, for what she just told him confirmed his suspicions (and her own) about what they were tracking down, and it was in fact a Dinozord egg.

"It seems Dr. Oliver's a bit cleverer than I gave him credit for." Mesogog thought out loud. "A pity it won't do him any good this time around."

"So what's the plan?" Elsa asked.

"Ready a team of Tyrannodrones."

"But master, we still haven't been able to adapt them for water use." Elsa protested. "And the previous times we tried to gave us no results aside from shorted-out drones."

"Why am I not surprised that even now you still can't seem to see what I'm planning?" Mesogog asked rhetorically as he glared at his general. "Who said we're going to use them underwater?"

Elsa then looked at her boss with a confused look on her face.

"If Dr. Oliver is so, gung-ho (as the humans would say) about getting that Dinozord egg before we do, then who are we to not oblige him? I just hope that he is willing to do so while certain drones of mine wreak havoc somewhere else."

"But master, we don't know where they're specifically headed." Elsa pointed out.

"Not yet anyway." Mesogog said as he glanced at the screen once more. "Have the tracker keep an eye on those Rangers, but make sure you have a team of Tyrannodrones ready to go. Once they get to the location where the Dinozord egg is, go to Reefside and start wreaking havoc there. It'll get the Rangers' attention and split their priorities down the middle."

"But master, it'll only split their responsibilities to an extent."

Mesogog grinned. "True, but even if they're able to split up, it'll keep the Ranger's attention occupied long enough for us to snatch that Dinozord egg out of their hands once they find it. I trust you were able to install the tractor beam on the satellite, right?"

Elsa looked at her boss for a brief second before a glimpse of recognition crossed her face as she realized what Mesogog was planning.

"Yes, lord Mesogog."

"Good. Now if all goes according to plan and we get the zord, I'll personally let you have the pleasure of using it to smash pound those Rangers into the ground, particularly the Pink one. That is, if that's all right with you."

Elsa had already been semi –grinning already, but once she heard her boss mention Kat, a deadly, psychopathic smile crossed her face.

"It's perfectly fine with me, master."

"I thought so." Mesogog said with a knowing air. "Now get going, and make sure there aren't any mistakes this time, Elsa. I want that Dinozord."

"Understood." Elsa said as she headed to the Tyrannodrone's chamber. Enjoy your moments of life, Pink bitch, Elsa thought wickedly. While you still can, because this time, you're the one who's going to get schooled. And don't count on your pesky boyfriend to save you this time around…

The trip to the trench was no less than 10 minutes in when a pointless conversation between the four Rangers (which included Tommy and Trent as well) started up. Normally this wasn't something they would do (given that most missions would just take a little while and that would be it), but given that this was going to take a while all six Rangers knew they had to do something to keep things from getting too boring. Mostly it was the four teens that kept the conversation going rather than Tommy and Kat. And while the two would chime in at various points, they usually tended to just listen in instead. And that was something that Tommy loved about being with Katherine (and vice-versa); and it was that even if you and your girlfriend were with each other and didn't have anything to say, that was all right, because just enjoying that special person's company alone was worth more than a thousand conversations anyway.

"Doc, I think we're getting close now." Ethan said 16 minutes later as he saw the words, APPROACHING TRENCH appear on the Megazord's HUD.

Once he heard his student Tommy then took a look at the map and noticed the blip that was the Brachiozord approaching the outer parts of the Aleutian Trench.

"Actually, you're not getting close, you are close." He answered.

"So do we take the Brachiozord with us then, or…?" Conner wondered.

"No need." Tommy said as he typed in a command, deactivating the propeller mode on the Brachiozord and causing it to land on the ocean floor with a loud thud. "It's taken you guys right where you needed to go; all that's left now is to just head down there and get the egg." He finished as he called up his own morpher and placed his right hand on it, concentrating as he did so. Immediately the Brachiozord's eyes lit up and the top part of its back opened up, revealing the Thundersaurus Megazord, which then leaped off the Brachiozord and landed on the ground next to it.

All too easy. Mesogog thought as he saw the blip representing the Brachiozord stop about a couple of yards from the trench, only to be joined by another blip that he knew had to be the Ranger's Megazord.

He was about to prompt Elsa when the cyborg and the White Ranger clone walked in.

"My lord, the Rangers have-" Elsa began.

"-stopped at the trench's edge, I know." Mesogog finished. "Are the Tyrannodrones ready?"

"Prepped and ready to go." The clone answered.

"Then in that case, you know what to do." Mesogog said.

"Completely." Elsa replied as an invisiportal opened up and the cyborg and the clone disappeared through it.

"So that's the trench…" Conner thought out loud.

"Does any of that look like what you saw in your dream?" Kira asked Kat.

"Some of it." Kat replied as she looked at the trench, remembering certain parts, but not everything.

"Then I'd say we're definitely at the right spot." Ethan said.

"All right mateys, hold on tight." Conner said in a mock pirate tone. "We got ourselves a trench to plunder."

"Aye-aye, captain." Kira said sarcastically.

DEET-DEET-DEET! DEET-DEET-DEET!

Oh, no. Tommy thought as he clicked on the alert symbol on the top right corner of the screen, which then brought up an image of Elsa, the White Ranger clone, and a squad of Tyrannodrones doing what they seemed to do best: wreak havoc all over the place.

"I knew this wasn't going to be easy." Trent said.

"Tell me about it." Tommy said.

"Dr. O, what's going on?" Conner asked, having heard the alarm.

"Nothing unusual, aside from Elsa and co. showing up." Tommy replied.

"Do you want us to give you guys a hand?" Kat asked.

"No, you guys go on ahead and look for the egg, Trent and I will try to hold them off here." Hopefully it won't take long.

"Are you sure?" Kira asked.

To be honest, no, but I don't think we've got much of a choice now. Besides, if we know where the egg is, there's a good chance Mesogog will too (if he hasn't already), and if we blow this chance to get that egg, and Mesogog gets it, we're not going to get another shot at getting that zord from him if he does. "Yes." Tommy answered with a sigh.

Katherine didn't buy what her boyfriend was saying for even a second, and wanted to tell him so, but she also knew that she was the Ranger's compass of sorts for finding the egg, for even though the system they came up with had a lock on where the egg was, it was only in the sense that it had a general idea of where it was, not so much a specific spot, and Kat was hoping that what she saw in her dream could help her friends out. Deep down, she really didn't have any idea how, but hey, if Conner was able to unlock his Triassic Ranger powers from a telepathic link he had somehow gotten from the Shield of Triumph when Tommy and Trent first found it…what did she have to lose by relying on her dreams alone?

"All right." She said with a tone of reluctance. "But if things get hairy out there, could you promise you'll call me-us if they do?"

"Don't worry. I will." Tommy promised, not missing that subtle remark where Kat mentioned herself.

"Be careful guys." Kira said.

"Always are." Trent said as he and his teacher stepped away from the mainframe and walked over to the center of the lab.

"Just try to save some for us though." Ethan said into his morpher.

"We'll see what we can do." Tommy called back as he and Trent activated their morphers.

"Dino-Thunder, power up!"

"White Ranger, dino power!"

No sooner did Tommy and Trent morph did they mount their ATVs and headed straight for Reefside's beach front where Elsa and co. were doing what they did best: create chaos.

Once they got close enough, the two Rangers aimed their lasers at the drones, hitting them point-blank and knocking them down good.

"Hi Rangers!" Elsa said with a nonchalant tone in her voice.

(Present…)

"Oh, wait, did I pull you away from your little treasure hunt in the Pacific?" Elsa asked mockingly.

"The only treasure that'll really matter is when you guys actually give up for good." Tommy said.

"Too bad for you two it won't be anytime soon." Elsa said as she and the Ranger clone drew their weapons and charged at the two Rangers along with their drones. Since there was a little bit more than other times, Tommy and Trent had their hands full for a while, but eventually they took them down.

"You know, I was actually hoping to run into your girlfriend instead." Elsa snarled as she and Tommy squared off. "But…I suppose you'll have to do for the moment."

No sooner did Tommy and Trent morph out to Reefside did Conner, Ethan, Kira, and Katherine have the Thundersaurus Megazord literally jump into the trench. There was already some anticipation bristling among them, particularly Kat, in finding a new Dinozord egg (especially since one more would only turn the tables on Mesogog even more), but given that they had heard the alarm, along with knowing Tommy and Trent were going to try and hold off Mesogog's cronies on their own, hoping to buy them more time to find the Dinozord egg, there was now more of a sense of urgency than anticipation among the foursome.

"So just how deep do we need to go?" Ethan asked.

"I don't know." Conner replied. "Kat, in your dream, do you remember specifically where it was, or…?"

"Not really." Kat replied. "From what I remember, I was in the trench, and at some point, I saw a light coming from somewhere deep below…and that was it. Believe me, I wish I had more, but…it's all I remember."

Conner sighed as he and everyone else looked out through the Megazord's HUD which showed the compass flashing and the distance mileage to the trench at zero. Though they were pretty much at the spot they needed to be, there weren't any more specificities besides that.

Guess there's not really much else left to do, except hope we find it right on the ground (that is, if there's a ground down there) when we land. Conner thought.

Suddenly Kat felt a throbbing pain in her head, which made her wince in pain as she tried to keep her balance.

"Kat, are you okay?" Kira asked as she tried to support her friend.

You've come…please…find me…

"Yeah." Kat replied once the pain subsided.

"What happened?" Ethan asked.

"I think…it's calling me."

"Who is?" Conner asked.

"The Icthyozord."

"The dinozord itself?" Kira asked.

"Yeah." Kat answered.

"Well do you think maybe you can ask it where it is so we could find it a lot easier?" Conner asked.

"Okay, I think you might have to explain that one." Kat said, confused.

"Back when we were trying to tame our own Dinozords, Dr. O told us to use our heads (literally) along with our morphers to talk to them and calm them down. And it worked." Ethan explained, remembering what their teacher said to them. "So if that dolphin zord is trying to talk to you in your head, maybe you can talk back to it the same way."

Sounds simple enough. Kat thought. "All right, here goes nothing." She said as she placed her right hand around her morpher, closed her eyes, and concentrated as hard as she could.

Can you hear me?

…yes…

Can you guide me and my friends to where you are?

…follow your instincts as you go…you'll know where I am…

What do you mean?

…just trust…

Still confused, Kat tried to reach out to the Icthyozord further, but there was nothing.

Well…if that's the only way…

"Anything?" Kira asked once she and the others saw Kat lower both her hands.

"Just to…'follow my instincts as I go'." Kat replied.

Great, an Obi-Wan Kenobi version of a Dinozord. Ethan thought.

"So is there anything on the instinct radar?" Conner asked, a little frustrated at knowing that not only did they not know where in this freakin' trench the Dinozord egg was, but that the Dinozord itself was being cryptic with them.

Kat exhaled deeply as she tried to clear her head of everything. Then suddenly an impulse just went through her body. It wasn't in the form of an image, but just a sudden sense of where to go.

"Can this Megazord swim?" Kat asked.

"I don't know, but I guess there's only one way to find out." Conner said as he, Ethan and Kira placed their hands on their interface consoles (Kat did as well on Kira's), causing the Megazord to move both its feet in a kicking action and raise both its arms up and down in a breaststroke action. The sudden movement then slowed its descent down the trench and ultimately stopped it altogether.

"Looks like it can." Conner remarked. "All right Kat, where to?"

"If I'm right…southwest from where we are."

"All right, let's do it."

The Megazord then started to swim southwest of where it was, eventually heading for the walls of the trench.

"Do we keep going in this direction?" Ethan asked.

"Almost." Kat said.

"Like how 'almost'?" Conner asked, noticing the wall coming up.

"Like right…about…now." Kat replied.

The Megazord then stopped swimming and stayed in a floating position.

"Okay, now we descend." Kat said.

"For how long?" Kira asked.

"Until we get to the spot where it is." Kat said.

The Megazord then descended for a while until it reached a part of the trench wall where the rock had formed a bit of a makeshift platform. Of course, it wasn't what one would call a platform, but from the way it was protruding from the wall, it may as well have the closest thing to one.

"There!" Kat said.

"You sure?" Conner asked.

"Yes."

The Rangers then guided the Megazord to the platform facing the wall.

"This is the spot?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah, it is." Kat answered. "I can feel it."

"Okay, then let's blast this wall, get the egg, and get out of here." Conner said.

"Whoa, hold on Conner." Ethan interjected. "We can't use the S.M. this close up. Otherwise we may as well be asking ourselves to get knocked across the trench, right smack into the other trench wall. That's gonna hurt a lot, and there'll be a very big mess to clean up later."

"Okay, well if you have any better ideas, now's the time." Conner shot back, venting some of his frustration out.

"Okay, could you two cut it out already?" Kira asked exasperatingly. Jeez.

"Look, I know we all want to get the egg out of there quickly so we can help Tommy and Trent, but Ethan's right, we can't do this while we're up close." Kat said. "We have to do it at a distance."

Conner sighed heavily but he knew there was no use arguing back; they were right, after all.

"All right, but let's just try and do this fast." He said as he guided the Megazord off the makeshift platform and up until it was about a 30 yards away from the wall.

Suddenly the drill end of the Megazord's left arm and the Tricera fist on its right detached, revealing two nimble yet very strong hands. The Tricera head attached onto the left hand while the drill was positioned on the Megazord's right shoulder with the right hand supporting it.

"Locking on…now." Conner remarked as the targeting reticule appeared in the middle of the HUD. After a few seconds the reticule turned red, with the words TARGET LOCKED just below it.

"All right, we're hot. Let's do it." Conner said as he and the other Rangers gave the command.

The Thundersaurus Megazord then hurled the Seismic Receiver right at the trench wall it was targeting. Normally when it was used it would automatically rupture the creature's insides and destroy it, but Hayley had modified it to where instead of destroying what it was targeting, it would rupture and destroy everything around the target, which was what Tommy and everyone else was shooting for.

Once it hit, small fissures then began to spread around the wall very quickly.

"Is that it?" Conner asked once the fissures stopped.

BAM!

The entire area that had cracks formed by the Seismic Receiver blew apart. At first it was into debris, then into nothing but bare molecules.

"Does that answer your question?" Kira asked.

"Guys, look over there." Ethan said as he pointed into the gaping hole. Not too far inside, glowing with a faint pink light, was the Dinozord egg itself.

"Jackpot." Ethan said.

"All right, let's get it and get out of here." Conner said as he guided the Megazord in as far as it could. Since the hole wasn't big enough for the Megazord to fit through, The Rangers had it extend its arm, which fortunately, was long enough to reach into the gap and get the egg.

"We got it." Kat said as she saw the Megazord hold the egg in its right hand.

"Finally." Conner said with a sigh of relief.

"Tommy, we got the egg." Kat said into her morpher.

"That's great. Now get over here as quick as you can, because it's getting a little bit hairy over here."

Why am I not surprised? Kat thought. "We'll be there as quick as we can."

"So captain McKnight, what are your orders now?" Ethan asked in a mock tone.

In spite of himself, Conner couldn't help but chuckle a bit at his friend's one-liner.

"Hold on tight guys, we're going up!"

Mesogog smiled an evil smile as he looked at the monitor, which had a satellite view of the Aleutian Trench with a blip ascending from it, which he knew could only be the Rangers.

They have it. He thought to himself as he readied the tractor beam on his satellite which he had orbiting Earth.

"Elsa, are you still at Reefside's beach?"

"Yes master." Elsa replied through her communicator.

"Good." Mesogog said. "Be ready, I have a little present I'm about to send you." He said as he waited for Megazord to reach the right depth for him to activate the beam.

The Thundersaurus Megazord was at about 510 feet deep in the trench when all of a sudden the egg then floated up and away from its hand, which had a strong grip on it.

"Hey, what the-?" Conner began.

"What's going on?" Kat asked.

"The egg's floating up faster than we are." Kira said. "But how the hell's it doing that? I thought we had a grip on that thing."

Ethan also wondered this too and for a brief moment thought maybe it was the Megazord's own mass that caused it to slip out of its grip. But then as he noticed the egg then rise up a faster than they were, he then knew what, or who was causing it.

"Mesogog." He said.

No sooner did his friends hear him say Mesogog's name did they all then focus their attention on their interface consoles, hoping to increase speed and catch up to the egg. Unfortunately the egg was getting too fast and it ultimately just sped away from them in a blur.

No! Kat thought.

It was all Mesogog could do not to just laugh out loud at what he had just done. Normally he would've just had the tractor beam take the egg and transport it to Elsa right then and there, but he figured he'd toy with them a little bit. After all, what was the point in having a plan come together if you couldn't at least have a little fun at your enemies' expense?

Once the egg was out of the ocean, he then programmed his tractor beam to redirect the egg right to where Elsa was.

"Wind Strike!"

Having been forced to parry a couple of Elsa's blows, Tommy then unleashed a wind storm at Elsa, hoping to knock her back a bit, but she dodged without any effort.

"Losing your touch, Tommy?" Elsa teased as she landed, the White Ranger clone rejoining her.

"Hardly." Tommy shot back as Trent joined him.

"Well, as much as I'd like to go a couple more rounds with you, I think it's time to take this fight to the next level." Elsa said as she looked up to her right and saw a flash of pink head towards her.

Tommy and Trent turned to where the cyborg was looking and saw it too, but the two didn't know what it was until it landed right in the palm of her hands.

"No…no way…" Tommy said.

"Dr. O, is that…?"

"Yes Trent, it's the Dinozord egg that you six were trying to track down and find before we could. However, Mesogog more than anticipated the six of you doing that and decided to let you go ahead and find it and not make a move until then. Once you did, it was as easy as taking candy from a baby, or should I say, six babies."

"But enough babbling from me, because now the party can really begin." She said wickedly as she took a device and planted it right on the egg, causing it to glow more and crackle with dark energy.

"Come on out my little Dinozord. Mommy's got some nice Ranger toys for you to play with." She cackled as the egg started to crack.

Suddenly it broke open, revealing the tiny Icthyozord.

Elsa then thrust her hands forward towards the ocean, causing the Icthyozord to leap off her hands in a blur of energy and disappear into the ocean. Suddenly the ocean began to rumble and then with a mighty eruption, the Icthyozord emerged from the water in its full size. It looked very much like the dolphin-like dinosaur it was named after, and had the color signature that Kat had, and for a dinozord of its size it looked incredible and graceful, but as Tommy and Trent saw in its red-tinted eyes, it was anything but under its own control.

We're in big trouble now. Tommy thought.
