Third Person's POV

In a rock quarry in Zandar, some workers were digging with some heavy equipment when a worker noticed that something was glowing from the rubble. He made the men running the machines stop so they could look and see what was glowing. The man looked and saw a dinosaur fossil and said, "This must be the one."

At the palace of Zandar, Prince Phillip was practicing fighting with his new robot. As he was fighting it, he looked over at the man operating it and said, "Very nice moves. My Ranger friends will be impressed." Suddenly a man and a woman carrying in the dinosaur fossil that was found came in and said, "Your Highness, they may have found the fossil you were looking for." Phillip walked over to the fossil and said, "Everyone, please leave me." They all left the prince in peace as he got out some tools and opened the fossil up and found the Graphite Energem.

"This could be it," Phillip said. He pulled the gem out of the fossil and said, "Ah, yes. Finally, an Energem." He thought back to when he handed back the Gold Energem to Ivan who said that he would make the kingdom proud. He sighed and said, "I, too, shall make the kingdom proud." He held it up and yelled, "Energize!" but nothing happened. He tried again by shouting, "Unleash the power!" but again nothing happened. "What?" he said confused as to why he did not morph.

Bella's POV

I was working away at the cafe, while Koda took his lunch break. The others were preparing for the Maori dancers that were going to be here in a few days. A group of familiar bodyguards walked in, followed by Prince Philip. Prince Philip was wearing his signature graphite suit  He approached me and I gave him a smile as I walked out to the front cash register. "Hello Bella, do you know where Koda is?" Prince Philip asked. I nodded.

"He's just in that corner, eating lunch. It's his lunch break." I told Prince Phillip and pointed to where Koda was sitting at a corner table eating lunch, it was his turn for his lunch break, as I took my lunch break about 10 minutes ago. Prince Philip nodded and walked off to talk to Koda. "I don't believe it. Really? A cave man?" Koda nodded as he bit into his burger. He then said, "So, uh, you say the Energems bonded with you two. Well, how is that?" Koda looked up at him and said, "It chose me." Phillip looked puzzled and asked, "It chose you? Why?" Koda thought for a moment and said, "It believe I have good heart." "Good heart?" Phillip asked. My mind wandered a bit, why did Prince Philip want to know more about energems?

Later at the battle

Somewhere in the city. Ivan morphed into his Ranger armor and was fighting Fury. He yelled, "Put your best paw forward, you feline fiend!" Fury knocked Ivan back and said, "You beat me once, Gold Ranger, but you did not defeat me!" "Perhaps not then" Ivan replied. "But you won't be so lucky today." Fury laughed and said, "See what you say in 800 years after I've locked you away again."

They locked swords again and clashed and clashed, both fighters evenly matched. Ivan raised his sword and said, "Prepare to feel the wrath." He charged his sword and sent a lightning strike right at Fury, hitting him square in the chest. Fury growled and said, "You'll pay for that." Ivan charged at Fury and said, "Time to take you down a notch, Fury." He grabbed Fury and both fighters fell off the building they were on down to the streets below, with the other Rangers catching up to them. Tyler said, "Ivan, we've got you covered." Ivan sighed and said, "Thank you, my faithful friends. Let's finish this once and for all."

Fury summoned some Vivix and attacked the Rangers. Both groups were so focused on fighting each other that they barely noticed a robot come in and started to attack the Vivix. Tyler noticed this and said, "What is that thing?" "It trying to help us," Koda said. The robot fell on Riley, who rolled the robot off of him and said, "Well, it's not doing a very good job, is it?" "Clearly." I said. Tyler kicked a Vivix and said, "Leave it and get Fury. You too, Bella." "We need to go after Fury now."

We all attacked Fury who shouted, "Vivix, get that robot." The Vivix swarmed the robot and started to overwhelm it, but Fury was having trouble with all of us attacking him. He yelled, "I can't fight all seven of you. Vivix, attack." The Vivix swarmed the Rangers as Fury ran for cover and said, "I must not fail Sledge again. I need another plan." He then disappeared along with the Vivix.

The Rangers looked around confused as Tyler said, "Fury's gone." Chase sighed and said, "I gotta get back. I can't disappoint Chloe." I nodded and said, "Go ahead Chase. Go spend some time with her." Chase nodded and said, "Thanks mate." and he ran off. The others demorphed and ran over to where the robot was, who was glitching up.

"What's with this thing?" Shelby asked. It was walking repeatedly into a wall as Tyler asked, "Where did it come from?" Suddenly Phillip walked up surprising the group with Shelby saying, "Your Highness. What are you doing here?" Phillip smiled and said, "When I saw you were in trouble, I decided to lend a hand with my robot." Koda looked at the robot and said, "This fighting machine is yours?" Phillip smiled and said, "It fought well, did it not?"

The others tensed up with Riley saying, "Well, it has some interesting moved, and it looks like it has some durability..." "A machine just can't react the way a human Ranger can." Tyler continued. "To be honest, it kinda sorta got in the way." Shelby added. "I see," Phillip said. As the group was focusing on Phillip, I heard something out of the corner of my ear and turned to see some Vivix trying to take the robot.

I got the others attention by saying, "Guys, the Vivix are taking the robot." We ran after them, but the Vivix disappeared. "They slipped through our fingers," Ivan said. Phillip held up the remote and said, "They can't run it without the remote." Tyler sighed and said, "I hope you're right. Fury can be pretty clever."

A week later

The New Zealand Maori dance group was going to be at the museum later today for a performance at the museum. Chase is super excited today because his little sister is in the dance group, he's excited to see her. So the supposed last minute preparations of the stage were finished quickly today, Chase had decided to take it upon himself to finish up most of it. We gathered in the room, Kendall glanced down at her watch. "Well, we still have a couple hours until they get here." Kendall told us, knowing that we had nothing else to do because the finishing touches were supposed to take us the rest of the time before Maori dancers got here. Chase groaned loudly, falling into a chair, very dramatically, I may add. We all chuckled at his reaction. "You guys should get some of that energy out of him." Kendall joked to us.

"Yeah, let's do it. We could have some guy time." Tyler told us, purposefully leaving Shelby and I out. Riley and Ivan chuckled at his comment as Koda pulled Chase up from his seat. I shot him a playful glare and Tyler sent a wink towards me, causing my cheeks to heat up a bit from the subtle action.

"Pfft... Whatever, we can have some girl time. We're surrounded by too much testosterone anyways." I shot back, thinking quickly. Now, it was Tyler's turn to playfully glare at me and I winked at him. "Kendall, you want to join us?" I asked the scientist, turning to her after seeing the small blush rise on Tyler's cheeks.

"Yeah, you've been really stressed these past few days with the Maori dancers today and planning the Halloween party that's coming up." Shelby told her.

"Well, I guess I could." Kendall agreed, smiling. I grinned and we all headed out of the museum, after Kendall told the other employees that if there was a problem to contact her with her cell phone number. The boys headed out before us. We walked in the direction of the park, deciding to figure out what to do when we got there.

"So... what do you guys want to do to kill some time?" Shelby asked. Kendall shrugged.

"No idea, I don't really get much time off considering I'm swamped between helping Keeper look for energems, helping you all get stronger to defeat Sledge and running museum duties." Kendall told us.

"You should get an assistant to at least help with some of the museum duties." Shelby suggested to her. "It will help with the workload." Kendall nodded, considering the idea.

"Do you guys want to get frozen yogurt on the way to the park?" I asked, when the idea came to mind. They agreed to my idea and we headed to the small frozen yogurt shop not too far from the park. When we walked out of the shop, Shelby brought up a topic.

"Bella, have you thought when you're going to tell Tyler about how you feel about him?" She asked and my face got hot. I shoved a spoonful of fro-yo in my mouth to stall to answer the question.

"If I'm being honest, it is getting slightly painful watching the two of you." Kendall added. We took a seat on a bench on the side of the park, with Shelby on my right and Kendall on my left. The two of them successfully trapped me in the middle of them.

"I've thought about it." I answered. "I guess I just don't know when because we're never alone or I don't get enough time." I mumbled out. "Probably with my luck, there's going to be a monster attacking Amber Beach when I want to tell Tyler." I pushed another spoonful of fro-yo in my mouth.

"I could probably get you two alone." Kendall started and Shelby and I looked at her curiously. "Meaning, I could probably get you and Tyler to do something alone for the museum, you know kind of like when the two of you planned and put together the interactive area in the museum." She suggested, I nodded along while eating my frozen snack, thinking that Kendall's plan could actually work.

"That's a great idea!" Shelby exclaimed. "Once we get them alone, all Bella has to do is muster up the courage to tell Tyler." Kendall nodded.

"You know, I'm sitting right here." I told them, annoyed at the small comment to muster up courage to tell Tyler about my feelings. They waved me off and I rolled my eyes. Kendall glanced at her watch, realizing that a good amount of time has passed.

"We should head back to the museum. The Maori dancers should be there any minute." Kendall told us. We nodded and I shot Tyler a text telling him that the dancers will be at the museum soon and we were heading back as well.

Third Person's POV

Tyler was starting to slightly regret his idea about having a bit of guy time without having the girls around. The guys were hanging around the base, a place that Tyler knew that Alexa would avoid if it meant that Kendall could relax a little. Mostly, he was hoping that this time away from Bella could get his thoughts straight and figure out if he can muster the courage to tell her that he really liked her more than a friend. All the other boys were endlessly teasing Tyler about his feelings, not that it was a bad thing, they just enjoyed watching him shift and squirm uncomfortably while blushing. "You know what I don't get." Riley started, and Tyler knew this wasn't going to end well for him. "Care to enlighten us, kind sir." Ivan spoke, leaning back in his chair.

"Tyler has all this courage to face all these aliens we fight, but he can't muster up 5 minutes of courage to tell Bella how he feels about her." Riley answered, smirking. Tyler groaned loudly, burying his face in his hands. The others laughed, even Koda who was being really nice about this whole situation and didn't tease Tyler once.

"It's honestly pretty obvious that she likes you back, mate." Chase told the red ranger, clapping his hand on his shoulder. "She's been way more touchy with you and is openly flirting with you." Chase reassured him.

"You don't worry." Koda reassured Tyler and the others nodded, agreeing with him. Tyler's phone buzzed in his pocket and he pulled out his phone and saw that Bella had sent him a text.

Bella: We're heading back to the museum. Kendall said that the Maori dancers will be there soon. See you there.

Tyler: Great, we'll meet you guys there.

Tyler turned to his friends, who were waiting to see who had texted him. "Bella told me that they're heading back. Kendall said that the Maori dancers will be here soon." He informed his friends, glad with the subject change.

"Great! I can't wait to see Chloe again! She's super excited to meet you all." Chase exclaimed shooting up from his seat and practically sprinted back up to the ground floor and to the museum. Tyler chuckled at his excitement and the boys followed the black ranger up to the museum to meet up with the others.

Bella's POV

The Maori dancers arrived just as we got to the museum and Kendall greeted the group and the three of us led them to the room with the stage that they would be performing on for us. Guests filed in quickly and a small brunette spotted me when she had a little extra time and she rushed over to me. I bent down to Chloe's level as she lightly tugged on my shirt. "Do you see Chase anywhere, Lexi? I want to give him a quick hug, he always gives me good luck hugs." She asked me. I had met Chole only once before when I had just joined Chase, Koda, Kendall and Keeper to help them look for energems. His family was in town for a meeting his mother was attending for work and decided to drop by the museum for a couple days before they headed back to New Zealand. I smiled at the cute nickname that she gave me.

"Well, let's see if we can find him together." I told her and she climbed onto my back and I straightened up again, knowing that with our combined height, Chloe could see over the heads of the guests. I spotted his hat that was perched on his head. "Hey Chase!" I shouted, not caring about some of the weird glances I got from shouting. Chase turned when he heard his name and saw me, before his eyes landed on his little sister. His eyes lit up and he basically shoved his way through the crowd towards us and I bent down to set Chole back down to her feet. Chase reached us and pulled Chole into a big hug.

"Good luck Chloe." He told her, no words needed to be said on why the younger girl was on my back a few moments ago. "We'll hang out after your performance, okay?" He told her, bending down to her level. I smiled at them.

"Okay." Chloe confirmed and went back to the group. Chase and I made our way to our seats, taking the front row seating quickly with the others. The dancers started performing and Chase had the whole 'proud big brother' look on his face while watching Chloe perform. The smile never left anyone's faces as we watched the performance. The performance came to an end and they took their final positions and Chase gave Chloe a thumbs up and Kendall got up.

"Thank you to our New Zealand visitors and their incredible performance of a traditional Maori dance." Kendall thanked them and we got up from our seats to give them a standing applause. Chloe grinned massively and they went back to get changed and head to the cafe. We all separated, having jobs to do. I started helping Kendall, Koda, and Ivan clean up while Chase met up with his sister and Shelby and Riley covered some of the small tours of the museum. Tyler headed back to the cafe, to cover his shift. I heard Chase's footsteps as I placed some of the decorations in a box.

"Lex, could you cover my shift at the cafe?" He asked me. "I want to spend some time with Chloe before they head back." I nodded to him.

"Sure, go hang out with Chloe." I reassured him. I told Kendall I was covering Chase's shift and she reassured me that they'll be fine cleaning up without me. I arrived at the cafe and got straight to work. After about 10 minutes, just after I served the dancers lunch, Chase walked in, finding that his sister was ready for them to hang out.

"Hey, Tyler and Alexa, do you two mind if you guys clean up the interactive area? It's closed off for cleaning and guests want to get to it soon." Kendall asked. "Someone else was going to, but she doesn't feel very well today." Kendall asked the two of us. I shrugged, telling her that I didn't mind, not realizing that Kendall had a plan in her head. Once Tyler agreed, a smug grin appeared on her face and Tyler turned away from us to walk to the interactive area of the museum. She shot me a wink and I saw Shelby grin widely as she realized what Kendall was doing. Remembering the conversation from this morning, I glared at Kendall as I walked out, catching up with Tyler. Tyler and I grabbed the cleaning supplies on our way to the interactive area of the museum. When we arrived, we both started cleaning while throwing back and forth jokes and reminiscing on memories from when we were kids. "You know, I still can't believe that we both ended up finding energems and finding each other after 8 years." Tyler spoke up as we cleaned up some of the kids' activities sheets that were left. We restocked the crayons and the activity sheets as well after we gathered the trash.

"Agreed. When I found mine, I'd never imagined that you would find an energem, let alone be the leader of our team." I told him, smiling in his direction. He grinned widely, causing my heart to skip a beat. "I still remember when I told you that we were moving away, I was devastated when Dad told me we were moving." I told him, while I reset the tables and chairs that were misplaced in the children's play area.

"I remember my mom walking into my room with a sad look on her face, when you and your dad came over to tell us that you were moving." Tyler told me in a soft voice. "It wasn't too long after my dad disappeared." He whispered, my heart clenched in sadness when flashes of memories of Tyler's 10th birthday when Tyler's dad was declared missing. Tyler and his mother were devastated that day. I had spent the night there to comfort him. Tyler and I cleaned up the mini indoor dinosaur park and threw the trash out.

"When dad told me that we were moving across the world, I remember throwing a fit." I told him, trying to lighten up the mood. Tyler chuckled. We started to sweep the ground a bit, so we could mop up the place soon.

"A little Bella throwing a fit, what did you do?" He asked.

"I locked myself in my room after doing a lot of screaming and then I 'ran' away." I told him, putting air quotes around ran. "Really, I walked past my dad to the backyard wearing my backpack that I shoved some clothes in. I was carrying the bear stuffed animal you gave me for my 7th birthday. I went to your backyard and up the treehouse. My dad followed me there and told your mom." I explained, remembering that night.

"I remember that bear. I dragged my dad to about 10 different stores to find the perfect present for you." Tyler started. "He was so exhausted that he insisted we just get you a doll but I didn't listen, knowing that you would fake that you liked then put it in some corner." I giggled.

"Even at 7 years old, you knew me so well." I commented. We fell into a comfortable silence as we finished up sweeping and Kendall walked around to check up on us. We greeted her and moved to opposite ends of the big room so we'd work our way to the front entrance of the area while we mopped. Kendall walked up to me, with a smug grin on her face. "No, I did not tell him." I told her, knowing the answer to an unspoken question. The smile fell off of her face.

"What? Why?" She asked me.

"How do I even work that into a conversation!" I whisper-yelled at her. She shrugged.

"Hey, that's your job. I got you two alone." Kendall told me and I pouted. The rest of the time that Tyler and I finished up cleaning, it was spent in silence. My thoughts were running wild in my head as I tried to figure out how to tell Tyler that I really liked him.

"Hey Ty?" I started, breaking the silence decided that I needed to tell him, or I will never tell him. My palms became sweaty as I became nervous.

"Hmm?" Tyler responded, telling me that he was listening.

"I, uh... have to tell you something." I told him. He looked up from the ground and up at me, giving me his full attention. I took a shaky breath as my heart hammered in my chest. "I uh... really, really-" I started but I was cut off as the others came rushing in.

"One of Prince Phillip's guards showed up, telling us that Prince Philip wants to meet us, the guard made it sound urgent." Shelby explained to us. Tyler sent me, 'we'll talk later' look and we both put the cleaning supplies away quickly and put up a few wet floor signs on the ground as Kendall opened up the interactive area again. We all headed out to the park, where we were supposed to meet up with Prince Phillip. Once we arrived, we saw Phillip sitting at a table, not far from a park area.

"Please, sit." Phillip told us as we approached them. We took a seat around the table and Chase caught up to us, looking slightly depressed. He probably had to make an excuse to Chloe to come here.

"Nothing is more noble than to help others, and I wanted to help you on your mission to keep the Earth safe." Phillip started. "About a week ago, I found this." he continued, pulling out the graphite energem from his jacket pocket. I gasped at the site of the energem.

"Graphite energem." Koda said, as we saw the graphite energem in his hands. "Why didn't you tell us?" Tyler asked him.

"Well, I hoped it would bond with me. I did everything I could but, clearly, I'm not worthy of being a power ranger." Philip explained to us why he didn't tell us about it earlier. Now I understand why he visited us about a week ago. He wanted to know how to get the energem to bond with him. "Perhaps you could find someone more fitting." Phillip told us and passed the graphite energem to Tyler. Tyler took it from him.

"Thanks Prince Phillip." He thanked the prince. "This means a lot." He told him, knowing that one more energem will bring us closer to our goal. There was a sudden laser attack came out of nowhere, hitting the table and the force of the attack knocked the energem from Tyler's hand.

"Like my new weapon!" I heard Fury shout and we all turned around to see Fury, with vivix and Prince Philip's robot that worked on it's own now. We all stood up.

"My robot, that's impossible." Philip commented.

"We're going to crush you with your own technology!" Fury shouted at us.

"That hunk of steal doesn't stand a chance against us!" Tyler claimed and we all sprinted off towards them, leaving Philip behind with some of his guards while the others received Alex to get her to safety and away from the monsters. A vivix ran up to me as well, and I ducked away from it's punch and I punched it back. I spun around and kicked another vivix down quickly. A laser from the robot just missed me when I heard a shout.

"Chole stop!" Chase's voice rang out. Only for a few seconds, I could see that Chloe had accidentally gotten stuck in the crossfire between us and the monsters. None of us could get Chase's little sister out of the way because there were too many monsters in our way. I just barely managed to dodge an attack from a swarm of 5 vivix and I retaliated quickly, attacking them all back with my Dino morpher blaster.

I then saw Prince Phillip fighting a few vivix to get to Chloe to get her to safety. I turned away for a second just as two vivix shot their lasers at me, but I ducked down to avoid them and the lasers hit the opposite vivix instead. I covered Chase's back and saw Prince Philip take Chloe to safety with Alex running over to them. Chase ducked down for a second and I launched myself over him, using him as a boost to kick a vivix away from us.

"Go check if she's okay and make sure they get to a safe location." I told him, referring to his sister. He nodded and took off in the direction of his sister. I delivered a roundhouse kick into another vivix and kicked it down. It disintegrated and another one took its place. I blasted the vivix down.

"What? An energem?" I heard Fury exclaim and my head snapped up to follow Fury's vision to see the graphite energem was floating and glowing. Just like when mine did just before it bonded to me.

The energem shot off in Phillip's direction and he caught it just in time, but the force of catching the energem, knocking him off of his feet.

"The prince!" Shelby exclaimed as we saw the energem bond with him. We then kicked Fury to the ground and ran over to the prince who said, "It chose me." "Congrats." Chase said. "Energem very smart." Koda reassured the Prince and a dino morpher blaster covered in stone appeared in his hand after his attention was back on us. Shelby pulled out her dino com to call Kendall.

"Miss Morgan, you're not going to believe what just happened." Shelby told her, but before she could get another word out, Fury cut us off.

"Another ranger!" He sneered, with more vivix and spikeballs behind him. "Not for long."

"Is it morphin time?" Philip asked.

"You bet it is." Tyler claimed and we all lined up to morph into battle mode.

"Graphite energem!" Phillip started, and the rest of us followed his lead, sort of.

"Dino chargers, ready!" We exclaimed, activating our chargers and we all loaded them up into our dino morpher blasters. "Energize, unleash the power!" We held them up above us and each designated dinosaur head in it's color shot out from our dino morpher blasters and consumed our bodies, leaving us in ranger form. We took our battle stances and ran into battle, not wasting one second. I did a backwards handspring to take out some of the vivix. I kicked a vivix down and punched another one quickly as it tried attacking me. I saw Phillip get pushed away from us as he took on his now evil robot. Ivan and Koda went at Fury and the spike balls. I did a roundhouse kick to take out another vivix and realized that I would need some more power because a swarm of them surrounded me. I ducked an axe and kicked it's hand so it would drop the axe it was holding. I punched it back into another vivix behind it. I pulled out a dino charger and loaded it up to my dino morpher blaster after activating it.

"Dino steel, armor on!" I said as the armor formed around my arm and my bow appeared in my hand. "Brachi bow blast!" I summoned the attack and shot down the rest of the vivix around me with rapid blasts. I heard Fury command for vivazords. The vivazords formed quickly and towered above us. The rest of the smaller vivixes disintegrated when we all took them down, and we gathered up where Prince Philip was fighting his robot as we saw the vivazords. One of the vivazords roared down at us and started to move it's foot in our direction, to kick us. Most of us just barely managed to jump out of the way, but Tyler wasn't so lucky as the force of the kick from the vivazord sent him through a few piles of concrete pipes.

"Tyler!" We shouted, worried about our leader. We ran over to him and called Kendall as I ran up to him.

"Kendall, Tyler's been hurt." I told her.

"Okay, I'll call Prince Phillip and tell him to summon his Pachy Zord." Kendall said. We all reached Tyler and bent down to him, glad that his battle mode didn't disable, meaning he wasn't too badly hurt.

"Sir Tyler, are you okay?" Ivan asked him as he and Koda helped Tyler sit up.

"Yeah." He grumbled and looked up to see that the Patchy Zord entered the scene to destroy the vivazords. The vivazords were destroyed easily by the strong zord and Tyler managed to get up on his feet. "I'm okay, let's make sure Prince Phillip is okay." Tyler reassured us, but I watched him warily as we rounded the corner to see that Prince Philip was still fighting the robot.

"If my zord can take out those creatures, then I can take out you." Philip said to the robot. He took his stance again. "Royal Pachy punch." He summoned his attack and a wave of graphite energy shaped just like a wrecking ball hit the robot repeatedly until it exploded.

"Sweet." Chase commented. We all ran up to Prince Philip.

"Robot destroyed." Phillip claimed his victory.

"You pack quite a punch." Chase told him, patting him on the shoulder.

"Prince Philip, that was..." Riley told him in awe.

"Awesome." We all finished his sentence for him. We all demorphed in sync and decided that Philip should see the base. We headed back towards base and I heard Tyler groan quietly. I slowed down, so I could walk at his pace behind the group. "You okay?" I asked him.

"No. I hurt all over." Tyler told me. "I didn't feel like this when I rammed into concrete pipes earlier." I laughed at him slightly.

"The adrenaline from the fight must've worn down." I told him. "You're probably just now going to feel the pain." He groaned again and we caught up with Chloe who were waiting for all of us at the cafe. Chase went out with Chloe so they could spend a few hours to themselves before she had to leave again.

"Shelbs?" I questioned, gaining Shelby's attention before we all entered the cafe. She looked back at me.

"Yeah?" She asked.

"I'm gonna take Tyler down to base, he's now feeling the pain from earlier." I told her. She nodded.

"We'll probably come down as soon as Chase meets up with us." Shelby told me and I nodded and I led Tyler away from the cafe. "We're probably going to end up bringing them down with us."

"Come on, we've got to get you checked out." I told him and he only nodded, letting me drag him away from the cafe and down to base. Deciding to spare his muscles, we took the elevator down to base after I made sure that the coast was clear. We walked into base and Kendall looked up, worried, knowing that Tyler had gotten hurt. We both took our energems off of our necklaces and let them fly to their places in the cavern. Kendall checked him out and made sure that Tyler didn't have any major injuries and gave him some pain meds to relieve him of some of the pain. The elevator rings and Philip enters with the others, but without his guards.

"Well, this is our base of operation." Riley told the prince as the others let their own energems fly to their places. "Try it." Riley encouraged the prince so that his energem would take its place next to the gold energem so Kendall could make graphite chargers and charge them up. She had also given Prince Philip a necklace that he could use to house the energem so it was always with him.

"It was so easy for me to throw money at things, but clearly it was never going to make me worthy of being a power ranger." Philip commented as he remembered the earlier events and after Keeper explained how the rest of us bonded to our own energems. The pain meds that Tyler took were taking effect, because he was a little bit drowsier and cuddling me much more than he usually does and while we were still standing. Tyler's arms were wrapped around me, and even though I'm not that much shorter than him, he was laying his head on mine. His cheek pressed to my scalp, as if he was trying to stay awake. No one really commented about it, at least not yet.

"Your great courage and sacrifice in the face of danger allowed the graphite energem to see the real you." Keeper cleared up to Prince Philip. A smile spread onto Prince Phillip's face. He turned towards us. "I wish I could remain here with you all." Phillip told us. We all smiled at him.

"We understand." Shelby started. "Royalty comes with it's own responsibilities." Riley finished her thought. "Zandar need you." Koda told the prince. "I promise to protect the graphite energem." Philip promised us, even though he didn't need to because we knew that he would fulfill that promise easily. "Use the Pachy chargers and zord in your quest find the remaining energems. But if you ever require the help of the graphite ranger, I will return." He said and turned toward the caverns and the graphite energem flew to his hand as he turned towards the elevator to head upstairs to go to his kingdom.

"Until we see you again, sire." Ivan greeted the Prince, causing him to stop and look back at us.

"And uh... no more robots okay?" Chase reminds him, causing the prince to crack a smile.

"I will make sure of that." He promised. We chuckled and Phillip headed up the loading docks. The others turned towards Tyler and I, who was still attached to me. They smirked at me and I glared at them.

"Not one word." I stated with a glare. Some of them put their hands up in surrender. "I'm going to make him go to bed." I stated. The sun had started to set before Tyler and I came down, so after we all ate and managed to get Tyler to eat something, all of us headed off to bed. I continued to drag Tyler along the back hallway until we reached his room. I opened the door and led him inside. "Get changed Ty." I told him and he nodded. I collapsed on to his bed, waiting for Tyler so I made sure he fell asleep. I heard the bathroom door open and Tyler walked out, wearing his red flannel pajamas. I got up from his bed and made sure he was settled before I left.

"Wait, Bella." Tyler stopped me before I left. "What did you want to tell me earlier?" I felt my cheeks heat up as I watched Tyler's eyes fall and struggle to say open.

"I... uh... we'll talk about it later." I stuttered out, not having that much courage right now to tell him. "You need to get some sleep." I told him. Tyler pouted at me but told me goodnight and I left his room, shutting the door behind him and to my room. I went to bed with my brain trying to figure out how to tell Tyler that I liked him.
