12x17 - The Missing Bone

[bunniefuu]

(bell rings)

- You guys heard from Trent yet?
- No. l'm not sure l really want to.

We gotta make sure he doesn't
go off on some poor freshman

'cause the kid won't give him
his lunch money.

Yeah, you know what? l think he's after
a little more than a free grilled cheese.

And when we know what that is,
maybe we can deal.

But till then, we keep an eye on him.

Watch me all you want.
It won't make a difference.

(Randall. over PA) Trent fernande_.
µlease reµo_ to the µrinciµal's o_ice.

Trent fernande_.

Trent... l've called you here

because there's been some concerns
among your teachers

that recently you've been,
well, preoccupied.

Preoccupied?
Is that what they're calling it?

Your grades have been slipping.
Your behavior is erratic,

not to mention your skin tone.

l'm fine. There's nothing
you need to worry about.

l understand high school can be difficult.

There's a sense of powerlessness
that can sometimes overwhelm you.

l don't feel powerless. Believe me.

OK.

Let's talk friends. Is there a particular
group you've been spending time with?

No, l like to keep to myself.

How about a team?
Well, l'm sure there's one

that would just love to have an athletic
young man such as yourselfjoin.

You ever think about that?

lt's funny you should mention that.
l was asked to join one just recently.

And?

They were losers.

And l really don't see myself
on a losing team.

Now, you can understand that, right?

Good for three!

Hey, did you guys know we're
supposed to get a new teacher today?

Yeah. Any guesses?

Well, l heard from a very reliable source

that it's this -year-old woman
who used to teach kindergarten in Ohio.

Really?

Good morning, class.

l would like you to meet your
new teacher, Dr. Anton Mercer.

Huh?

Morning, class.

Hey, she looks pretty good for .

- Ow! What? l thought it was funny.
- Dr. Mercer has graciously agreed

to take over until your teacher
gets back on his feet.

l would like you to treat him
with the same respect

that you would treat Dr. Oliver.

Thank you.

Well... Iet me start by saying
how honored l am to be here.

What l'm handing out to you now
are permission slips.

These are for your parents to sign.

We'll be going on a field trip tomorrow...
to a museum.

l trust you will all be able to make it.

Anton Mercer teaching
other people's children?

He doesn't even like this own,
from what l can tell.

Yeah. l wonder whose brilliant idea
this whole thing was.

Gotta be Randall's.
Did you see them together?

- It's like their old pals.
- Hey, no matter how bad we've got it,

there's always someone
who's got it worse.

- l gotta go. l don't have time for this.
- Fine, but l wanna talk to you later.

Understood?

Hmm. What are you guys doing now?

- Soccer.
- Computer club. You?

l promised Dr. O l'd help him
inventory some stuff in the lab.

Plus, he'd probably wanna know
who's teaching his class.

Yeah. l wonder what
he'd have to say about it.

- See ya.
- See ya.

Later.

- That's great.
- You're kidding, right?

No. l know you think
Anton is a little strange.

Yeah, and Justin Timberlake's
a little cute.

All right, he's a lot strange.
But he's brilliant.

He taught me a lot of what l know.
He'll be great.

lf you say so.

He really is an ama ing person,
once you get to know him.

- Hey, where does this go?
- Oh, you'd better give me that.

- What is it?
- Just a bone.

- Yeah, but why is it so important?
- It needs to be kept safely in my hands.

Let's iust put it away.

Whatever you say.

All right, come along now.

We don't wanna keep
our prehistoric friends waiting.

- fConner) What's the matter?
- That thing just gives me a creepy vibe.

- It's like it moved.
- You know dinosaurs are extinct, right?

OK, l see your point.

Stop staring!

And just ahead here's the triceratops,
from the Cretaceous period.

Strictly herbivores.
Hunted by the Tyrannosaurus rex.

- Gotta love the T-rex.
- Whatever, bro.

(growling)

Huh?

- Hey. Where are you going?
- Uh... to the bathroom?

Oh, great. Me too, 'cause my lip gloss
is totally wearing off.

Cassidy, just stay here, OK?
You're just gonna get us both in trouble.

Whatever.
l'm going to the little girls' room,

and you can do whatever you want.

Miss Cornell.

Come join us. We wouldn't want you
to miss any of the exciting artifacts.

- But what about...
- Come along now.

Let me go, you freaks.

(fossilador's voice) Ki_a...

you must listen to me.

You will do as l command.

Where could she have gone?

fEthan) There she is!
Kira, Kira!

Are you all right? What happened?

Uh, yeah, l'm fine. l iust got lost.

- Lost?
- Yeah, as in not found. But l'm fine.

- Are we leaving?
- Yeah, we're leaving.

Great. Let's go.

Something's not right.

Hey, Kira. How come you're
not sitting with the guys?

What? We have to
do everything together?

Well, no.
But you usually do, don' t you?

Not anymore.

Look, Hayley, l don't mean to be rude,

but l need to get this done
for Dr. Mercer's class.

fscoms) l'll never get used
to the sound of that.

- Dr. Mercer's class?
- Hey, he's a really good teacher.

- And we're gonna learn a lot from him.
- OK, whatever you say, Kira.

(sighs)

- Hey, you wanna go to a movie tonight?
- No.

You know, when someone doesn't
wanna hang out with people,

they usually come up
with some sort of excuse.

Look, l just don't feel like spending
any more time with you guys

than l really have to. OK?

l have to go. l have something to do.

What's up with her?

Dr. O, are you there? It's Kira.

Yeah, what's up, Kira?

l was out running just now,

and l think l saw something
by the edge of the old forest by the lake.

lt might be a Dino ord egg.

Could you check it out for me?
l gotta get home.

- l'm on my way.
- Great. Thanks.

(yetts)

Now finish the task.

ffossilador) Excellent.
Soon l will be complete.

Then l will rise again.

Huh.

l don't see any dino ord eggs.

Kira, it's me.
l couldn't find anything out here.

- Are you sure you saw something?
- Oh, wow.

l must've been wrong.
Thanks for checking it out, Dr. O.

No problem.

fBlack Ranger) So, you think Kira's
been acting kinda strange?

fConner) We just don't know
what's wrong with her.

l mean, l didn't say anything
to make her mad.

Are you sure? Sometimes you
say things you don't think

is gonna get people angry,
and things end up getting thrown at you.

- Dude, l promise l didn't say anything.
- l'm just asking.

All right, you mo. l think we may have
a bigger problem than that.

This box contain the final bone

to a creature that was created
by Mercer and me years ago.

- What kind of creature?
- Fossilador.

We were trying to create a dinosaur
at one time

that had the power of mind control.
We scrapped it when it got out of hand.

Great.

As long as it had the main support bone,
it could never come to life.

- And that's what was in that box.
- Yes.

- So, who do you think took it?
- If it wasn't you mo,

and if it wasn't me or Hayley,
that seriously cuts down the suspects.

Kira?

l have returned, as you commanded.

(fossilador) Good girI.

Did you bring it?

Yes.

Excellent.

You have served your purpose.

Whoa!

(yelling)

Yes, l'm free!
My time has come at last!

l'm gonna take a wild stab
and say that's your fossil monster?

- Unfortunately, it is.
- Any word from Kira?

Nothing. But l've been trying.

Think, you guys. Where could she
have come in contact with this thing?

The museum.
We went on a field trip with Dr. Mercer.

Yeah, and she disappeared for a while.

When she came back,
that's when she started acting all weird.

Hayley, you go to the museum
and look for Kira.

- We'll try to hold this thing off.
- On my way.

- Better take the raptors.
- Don't have to convince me.

- Ready.
- Ready.

DinoThunder, power up! Ha!

Yah!

Dino Power!

This city is mine!

(sinister laugh)

fRed Ranger) Check out them bones!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

You're not going anywhere.

Triptoids!

You guys go on. l'll deal with Zeltrax.

- OK.
- Yeah.

Brachio!

Oh, no.

Miss!

l'm afraid the museum is closed.
You'll have to come back tomorrow.

l understand. But l think there may be
a high school student locked inside.

That's impossible.
l've checked the building thoroughly.

Can't you look iust one more time?

Well... l suppose l could.

- Let's go!
- Yeah!

Yah!

Activate.

Mega ord.

Oh, man. Take a look at that guy.

- This isn't gonna be easy.
- You read my mind.

You can't stop me!

Any word from Kira, Dr. O?

Nothing yet. You gotta hang on.

Kira!

- Are you all right? Can you hear me?
- Yeah, l'm fine. What happened?

- Oh, no. l set that thing...
- Are you OK to get up?

Yeah, l'm fine.

- Should l call a doctor?
- Uh, no.

No, l need to get home.

l can't believe l was responsible
for that thing coming alive.

lt wasn't your fault.
In your civilian form,

you couldn't stop it
from controlling your mind.

Luckily, the guys' Ranger powers
will protect them.

- l'm going over there.
- You sure?

Nobody messes with my mind
and gets away with it.

Aah!

Hey, what's that?

Hang on, guys!

Kira!

DinoThunder, power up! Ha!

Ptera Power! Yah!

- All right!
- Yah!

fal!) Mega ord, online!

Hee-yah!

- Good timing, Kira.
- Yeah, we could use the help.

Don't sweat it, guys.
Let's blast that bonehead!

(taughs)

Fire laser!

Ptera Rang!

Aah!

Nice try!

Huh? No way!

(att yetting)

- That was just plain nasty.
- Guy's got some prehistoric breath!

l'm iust getting started.

Huh? That's bad.

Don't you ever get tired?

Anyone else?

Not this time.

Looks like you lose again.

lt matters not, Dr. Oliver.
Your Rangers are finished.

And without them, you will be nothing.

l still don't know what his problem is.
Huh?

Hang on, guys!

Kira, aim for the spot
where you put the missing bone.

That's where he's most vulnerable.

You got it.

Locked on.

Tyranno Drill.

Aah!

Good iob.

So glad you're back to normal, Kira.
You were pretty scary there for a while.

- l'm so sorry l was mean to you guys.
- Don't worry about it, seriously.

Yeah, l mean, we're kinda used to it.

See? That would be one of those things
you say from time to time.

All right.

- Sorry.
- l'm just glad everything worked out.

- Kinda weird, though.
- What's that?

Anton Mercer.
This thing was stored in his museum.

Why?

Come on, Anton.

This has to be it. This has to be it.

There has to be a way to stop him.

You are weak, Anton.

Weak and pathetic.

As long as l am alive,
my plan to bring back our time of glory

will go on as scheduled...

Power Rangers or no Power Rangers.
