It was several days where I was traveling with stops only for resting and eating. I found streams where I could replenish my water and I hunted for food, something elves could do easily with a bow and arrow.
Finally, I reached a place called Reefside. I hoped I could find some allies for Monkzen in there, someone to give aid, but I realized that it was humans, and that they didn?t even look like fighters.
?Ah man!? I whispered. ?This isn?t going to get me anywhere!? I retreated back into the forest, but I still kept close to watch and see what?s going on, seeing if they could prove me wrong.
It was sunset and I still hadn?t found any reason for me to see them as allies, but that?s when I saw them: four people in colored uniforms fighting a monster that had appeared.
I watched them for a long time and saw them get thrown back, losing their uniforms. I slowly crept out from behind the trees, still watching as the monster approached them.
Then, a person in a white uniform came and defeated the monster, getting into a huge robot and then destroying it again.
?Look, whose side are you on?? the boy who was in the red uniform said. ?You help us, but then you attack us! Make up your mind, why don?t you!??
?I work for no one,? the white uniformed boy said. He walked to the trees and saw me, charging at me and causing me to fall. ?Who are you?? he said as he placed his feather-sword close to my neck.
?None of your business,? I replied as I kicked him off and got to my feet, an arrow on my bow and ready to fire. ?You don?t want to mess with me.?
?Who?s she?? the boy who was in blue said.
?I don?t know,? the girl who was in yellow said.
?I don?t have a good feeling about this,? the man who was in black said.
The boy charged at me and I released my arrow, but it didn?t hurt him.
?Alright, arrows don?t work,? I whispered, replacing my bow. I blocked his first attack and punched him, but he grabbed my arm and threw my behind him.
?We?ve got to help her!? the boy who was in red said. ?Ready??
?Ready,? the other three said.
?Dino Thunder, Power Up!? they said and they turned back into their uniforms.
?Trent, leave her alone,? the boy in red said as he, the one in blue, and the one in black got in front of me as the girl in yellow helped me up.
?Are you ok?? she asked me.
?Who are you guys?? I replied.
?Don?t worry about who we are,? the girl answered.
?Kira, get her to the Dino Lab,? the man in black said.
?On it, Dr. O,? Kira said and we ran from the others as they fought the one called ?Trent?.
As we were running, Kira was suddenly struck from behind and she fell to a knee.
I watched as Kira tried to take down a monster that had hit her from behind, but she was defeated.
?Kira!? I cried as I ran to her. I got in front of her. ?Leave her!?
?What?s this?? the monster said, who appeared to look like a robot. ?Who are you??
?Your worst nightmare,? I said.
?Zeltrax,? said Dr. O as he came behind the robot-monster. ?Why attack Kira when it?s me you want??
?Tommy Oliver, we meet again,? Zeltrax said as he turned around.
Kira got up. ?We?re nearly there,? she whispered in my ear. ?Come on, we?re got to hurry.?
?But you can?t leave a teammate behind,? I said.
?He?ll hold up,? Kira said. She pulled me along and we ran into the forest, into a rock, but we passed through it like nothing.
?What just happened?? I asked, confused, as I looked back at the rock.
Kira didn?t answer: she went to a woman who was in front of a computer and said, ?Haley, what?s going on with the others??
?Trent and Zeltrax left,? Haley said. ?They should be back soon.?
The others came through the rock and unmorphed.
?So, now what?? the person who was red said.
?Why?d you want me to bring her here, Dr. O?? Kira asked. ?She?s not supposed to know who we are.?
?There?s something I?ve kept from you guys,? Tommy said as he got a box from behind the computer. ?There?s supposed to be another ranger to be part of the team.?
