Millions of years ago, the evil Sledge tried to steal the greatest power in the universe, but an alien name Keeper entrusted them to dinosaurs. As for Sledge, he was blasted deep into space. Now the energems have been found and Sledge returns to bat...
After rechecking the dig site for the triceratops, we didn't find the pink energem like we hoped. I drove us back to the loading dock and we climbed out of the truck. We left the truck loaded with the equipment, knowing that we're going to go look again for another energem later. "I very hungry." Koda commented.
"Koda, your always hungry." Chase explained.
"I'm hungry too." I agreed with Koda, following Koda's lead on this. Chase twisted a tooth of the T-Rex head and the door opened. We all slid into base. As a routine that's been engraved into our brains, we all unclipped our energems from our necklaces and let them fly into their designated place in between the teeth of the small cavern so they could charge our Dino Chargers. I headed back to my room to get changed. I shut the door behind me and picked out some clothes. I stripped down my museum uniform that we wore on digs and put on a white tank top and white skinny jeans. I slipped on a yellow cardigan as well. I put on yellow and cream sandals and fastened a yellow-gold bracelet around my wrist. I pulled my hair back in a french braid. I kept my makeup simple, not being a huge fan of it anyways.

I walked out of my room and caught up with Chase and Koda. "Kendall just told me that 3 more energems were found and they found the base." Chase informed me. I nod. We walked back to the main lab area of base and saw Shelby and two other boys, one in green and one in red.
"Koda? Chase? Alexa?" Shelby asked as they saw us walk out. "Miss Morgan?" Kendall and Chase stood on one side of Keeper and Koda and I stood on the other.
"You fought to defend a stranger at great risk of your own life. That's why the red energem choose you Tyler." Kendall explained, walking up to the group. A smile broke out on Tyler's face. Kendall moved on to the next person in line. "Your discipline and intelligence has given you the skills to protect others. That's why the green energem choose you Riley." Kendall continued down the line and a small smile made its way onto Riley's face. "Shelby! Why the pink energem choose you...is anyone's guess." Kendall finished and the smile fell off of Shelby's face.
"Okay. But energems, dinosaurs spirits and bonding. It sounds a bit unbelievable." Riley said. Kendall looked back at the 3 of us.
"Show them." She instructed. We all walked forward a few steps and held our hands out. Our bonded energems flew into our hands. "I helped Keeper track down Chase, then we found Koda. Alexa actually found her energem on a dig and joined us soon afterwards." Kendall explained. While she was talking, a small stegosaurs floated out of Koda's energem, a small parasaur floated out of Chase's energem and a small brachiosaurus floated out of mine.
"Wait, Alexa? As in Alexa Brooks?" Tyler asked Kendall. I clipped my energem to my necklace.
"Yeah, why?" Kendall replied. Tyler took off towards me and engulfed me in a huge hug, lifting my feet off of the ground. I let out a small squeak of surprise when he lifted me up. Tyler set me back down on my feet. Memories flooded back into my brain and hit me like a truck. Tyler was a good friend back in the day.
"When did you move back?" Tyler asked, putting his hands on my shoulders.
"Not to long ago." I replied, grinning.
"We were best friends before Lexa moved away from Amber Beach 8 years ago." Tyler answered, seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces.
"We lost contact and we moved back. I stayed in Amber Beach when my dad got a more permeant job position in New Zealand." I explained. "And when I started working here."
"Welcome. To. The. Team." Koda stuttered out while clipping his energem to his necklace.
"You're officially Power Rangers." Chase said and clipped his to the string around his neck.
"Cool." Tyler commented.
"Power what now?" Shelby asked.
"The energems have given you three magnificent powers and the dinosaur spirits give you strength." Keeper explained.
"Six energems have been found but the other 5 are still missing." Kendall said and motioned to the other wall where where was 5 empty spaces for the other energems. "You must use your new powers to find the other energems before they fall into the wrong hands."
"Wrong hands?!?!?! You mean like that thing we fought in the woods?" Shelby asked, sounding a bit shocked and scared. "You expect me to fight aliens? Really?" Shelby asked, "I just want to dig for dinosaur bones, not bond to one." All of a sudden, our warning siren went off and Chase, Koda, Kendall and I rushed back to the middle of the room where the hologram of the area popped up. It was the mountain area, right outside of the city with a glowing red mass.
"What's going on?" Tyler asked, walking towards us.
"I'm seeing more seismic activity, same location as yesterday." Kendall informed us.
"We better go take a look." Chase said.
"I'm all in." Tyler said, sounding confident.
"Good." Kendall said.
"This all seems crazy, but I'm in too." Riley added.
"Great." Chase said.
"We go now." Koda said and we all headed towards the entrance to head towards the area. We all noticed that Shelby wasn't coming with us.
"Shelby?" I asked, wanting to know why she wasn't coming with us.
"You fought bravely to save the Pink Energem. Now the world needs your help." Keeper said, trying to convince Shelby to come with us.
"It's her decision Keeper. She's right to be hesitant. Clearly this mission is just to dangerous for a waitress. Go without her." Kendall said and with the look in her eyes, I could tell she was using reverse psychology. We all turned around to leave again, but Shelby stopped us.
"Wait! Sure I'm a little scared, who wouldn't be? But with mine and Lexa's knowledge of dinosaurs we could be a great team. Fact is, you need me and I want to help." Shelby explained, showing her bravery and confidence.
"Don't forget your dino chargers." Chase said over his shoulder to inform the newest members of our team. I grabbed my three dino chargers and stuffed them into my pocket carefully. As Riley's and Shelby's energems flew into their hands, I handed them both a new necklace string where they could clip their energems to the necklace. Tyler did the same, but his energem didn't fly into his hand but another loud siren went off. Kendall went to go check on the table to see what was happening.
"Something is interfering with the red energem's power." Kendall informed us.
"Tyler you must stay." Keeper told him.
"But I..." Tyler started and trailed off seeing the looks on our faces saying that he needs to stay back and figure this out. "Okay." I passed him a string for his energem. We all turned back towards the exist and headed out towards the coordinates.
