Tai nodded. "All right then," he said then he glanced at Ryla and couldn't stop a smole. "Yes there's the other one apparantly," he agreed. He went quiet, in thought as he wondered where to go from here

"Things are never dull around here..." Rex declared

"Billy," Tai said suddenly. "You had something you needed to tell us and things keep coming up," he said. "Please take the floor. While I listen I'll think about what we should do about this situation."

Billy sighed, "dull never, gloomy yes," he hit a button on a console, which started to stream footage of the recent attacks onto several monitors.
"I daresay any of us missed the blast from the past,"

Wood glanced at Doctor O, "Yeah, Most of us know about the Green Ranger but who's this?"

Billy paused , "The dragonzord's still in the lake, it looks like it got 'fixed' up like the coins were just plus it's original programming and motives."
Nathan looked a little impatient, "Yeah. but who is it?"

Billy neglected the question again and steered round it, "It's tried to find it's green ranger and it's gone for the closest match, by the time I realised, Zita had already took advantage." Billy inhaled, "It's.....,"

Autumn started to well up, the answer had already sunk in,

"..Winter," Billy finished.

"Figured." Rex and tai stated together

"Mmhmm," Taran agreed

Becca quickly headed off to Autumn to catch the waterworks, seeing it coming and hugged her, cause she was closest and Autumn would do the same

Autumn gladly accepted the hug, Becca was just in time before her whimpers broke into great big sobs,

Nathan shook his head, "Poor Autumn," he said quietly,
Wood looked to Billy, "No answer to solve it then," he said bemused.

"I don't know , Wood," Billy answered, "Things could get much worse yet, Winter wasn't enough to beat you guys , she'll go out of her way to make him stronger regardless of the effect."

Tai grimaced. "That doesn't sound good," he saud and glanced at Ariana. "Don't suppose you could offer any insight into this?" he asked

Becca patted Autumn on the back and rocked her a little, saying soothing things softly

Ariana nodded slowly, "Maybe a little ... I was there when the two were speaking ... and," she nodded to Autumn softly, "Your brother was there ... I didn't know who he was at the time but ... Widow had mixed some sort of solution ... and she said she added her won blood to it ..." she thought back a few moments, then nodded, "They hadn't injected him by the time I'd been taken away but ... they had planned on it ..."

She sighed, "I'm not sure I could tell you much more than that ... other than if anyone weer to tell Raina anything .. .I am pretty sure I would know what it is ..."

Ryla nodded, almost appreciativly, "Like bad guy radio ..." she turned to Tai, "SOme use she is I guess ..."

She smiled to him, then looked back to Ariana, shrugging a bit.

"Yeah, but is it a two way radio?" he asked, looking at her suspiciously

Ariana shook her head, "NO .. at least I'm hoping not ..." she looked to Mafitte, "Mafitte said she is concealing my presence from Raina, so that I can feel her, but she can't feel me ... but I'm not positive on how it is working ... I am only hoping it is ..."

She sighed, "I so do not want to go back there ..."

For they will kill me on the spot ...

I am doing so and it's taking energy.

Tai nodded. "Good. Good. So feed back. A majority vote. Should we let her join our band?" he asked, eying the others

Ryla rolled her eyes and groaned, before rasiing her hand, "I second the thought ... but," she eyed Ariana, "I want it publically known that if you betray us ... that I myself will come after you ... and shatter you ..."

Ariana swallowed slowly, but nodded, "SOunds fair enough ..."

She nodded and lokoed around at everyone else hopefully.

Billie "I go with the majority. I'm strictly neutral," she stated

Tori eyed her a moment. She had been the one telling people something'd been off with that fight..."I think we should let her in. There's precedent.

Taran nodded. "Let her in."

Rex shrugged. "Why not?"

Becca decided to hold off her vote for a bit

Tai glanced at the formers. "You guys get a say too." he stated

Kim smiled a bit to her, "I think it's a good idea ... I'm with teh majority ..."

Adma grinned, "I'm with Kim ... but Ryl'a sgot a good point too ... keep a claus for immediat killing upon betrayl ..."

Ryla smirked and nodded to Adam.

"Yeah. I think we should give her a chance," Trini agreed

"Dunno why you're asking me, but she seemed on the up n' up. Let her in," Aisha agreed

Ryla sighed, "Dunno if we're gonna get an answer out of blue boy right now but ... I think it's pretty unnanimous there leader boy," she grinned to Rex and laughed, before turning abck towards Ariana, "So ... this gem ..."

She turned to Billie, "Any ideas on how we could recharge it? I mean ... we can't just leave her useless with no power so they can just take her back ..."

Maffitte manged to look even more arrogant, if that were possible in her current form as she waited for them to figure out how to do it

Billie walked to a consile and glanced at Beez. "Any thoughts?" she asked lamely

"The Black Dino Gem can be recharged by the power of the Power Coins."

Billie nodded. "Of coarse. "Hold out you're wrist. And half of us will power you up," she told Ariana

Ryla figured she would take the initiative on her coins partm, "Relax leader boy ... I'll handle it," she winked at Tai, and he;ld her arms out, hand in a fist, as she began to cahnnelt he power in her body. She closed her eyes and her wrist started to glow red ...

Ariana swallowed and held her rist out, gem up. She loked around at everyone .. .hoping they could do this ...

Rex, Billie, Becca, and Tori made their cuffs appear and began to channel their energy.

Five streams of light, red, blue, black, yellow and pink, merged and connected to the Black Dino Gemm for several low moments. Then stopped as the BDG began to pulse with its own black glow

Ariana's face lit up, and she smiled, "It ... worked ... thank you rangers ..."

RYla nodde,d "yea yea ... go on ... se if it'll let you morph ..."

Ryla eyed her masa, ready tp grab for it ... jus incase ...

Ariana nodded. She shook her wrist, and her morpher appeared. SHe pulled her arm back and called out, "Dino Thunder, Power Up, Ha!"

She flipped in the air, and her fuku (gota call it that ... I'm in a SM mindset, lol) formed around her, but ... it wasn't natural black ranger fuku ... well it was in uniform, but the hemet ... it was exactly like the whie rangers except ... her visor was not red, but white ... and all the white and black on the helmets were reversed.

Ariana pulled her helmet off to look at it, "it looks ... near identical to he white rangers ... but why ..."

Ryla thre her hands in the air mociingly, "Hellk if I know ./.."

"Two halves of the same whole," Tai stated.

"Er...think waht Grandpa there means is that the Gem conformed to its new weilder, In this case, the opposite of The White Dino Ranger. The same yet different," Rex translated

Ryla had to laugh at Rex calling Tai grandpa, not many people would know what that meant. She punched Tai lightly in the arm ,and nodded to Rex, grinning.

Ariana was quiet a moment, before nodding, "Ohhh ..."

She smiled, and powered down, "I see ..."

She stared at the morpher, even the morpher was like the white dinos' only colors reversed, "That does make sense ... thank y0ou rangers," she lifted her head, smling, brihgtly, "You have fgiven me new hope of beating my other half ... and perhaps gaining independance ... and trust ..."

Her eyes flickered to Felix a moment ,ebfore she turned back to the rangers again.[/color]
