CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT - FOSSIL FRENZY

𝓣𝚁𝙴𝙽𝚃

I WAS CURRENTLY AT RIPTIDE GYM wearing a green shirt with a black leather jacket over it as all of us were training. "C'mon team! Give it all you've got!" Steel encouraged from the sidelines. Devon ended up flipping Ravi to the ground and charged at Nate, Zoey, and I.

"Zoey, Nate, Trent, knock him down!" Steel said.

Zoey and Nate ended up getting knocked down. I used that as I did a surprise attack, knocking Devon to the ground.

"Trent wins!" Steel announced.

"You can't outdo the do-er, Daniels." I told Devon, who just rolled his eyes playfully.

"Well played." Nate said.

"Let's go again." Devon suggested.

"Yeah." Zoey agreed.

"Zoey."

We all paused to see a boy walking in who called Zoey's name. "Hey, big bro." Zoey greeted. "Go ahead without me." She told us, throwing the stick towards me in which I caught it.

Ben and Betty suddenly rushed in. "We're dog-sitting for Dad, and we've lost that rascal. Have you seen him?" Betty asked.

"No, but. . ." Ravi paused as he hopped on one of the blocks. "we've been a little busy. Sorry."

"There he is! He's stealing food again." Betty said, pointing to a dog that was licking a sandwich on a table.

"Don't worry, I got him." I reassured, holding Pickles in my arms.

"Thanks, Trent." Both of the siblings thanked me.

"Of course." I said, handing Pickles over to them.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"Hey, guys. What you up to?" Ravi asked as he entered the lab.

"Just finishing Jax's maintenance. All done." Nate replied.

"I feel like a spring chicken!" Jax exclaimed.

"Don't you mean spring rabbit?" Steel corrected as Ravi laughed.

"Did you read this story about Zoey's brother?" Devon questioned as Ravi took the newspaper.

"That guy is crazy brave." Steel commented. "He climbed Honnold Peak to get that fossil."

"Honnold Peak?" Ravi repeated.

"You'd have to be pretty nuts to tackle that cliff alone, even for a rare fossil." Devon stated.

"I didn't know she was going up there." Ravi sets the newspaper down.

"Who?" Devon asked.

"Zoey." Ravi answered.

"Zoey's going up the peak?" Jax questioned.

"Yeah. She destroyed Mike's fossil, so she's trying to get him another one." Ravi explained.

"Zoey. Come in, Zoey!" Nate tried to call her on his comm. "No answer. She could be in trouble."

"Prep the Chopper Zord. It's windy, but this jackrabbit knows how to fly." Jax claimed.

"Good idea, Jax. Let's go!" Ravi said.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"Hey, robot!"

Devon appeared morphed as he kicked Robo-Roxy back. "Comin' down!" Nate shouted as the rest of us were morphed and hanging from the Chopper Zord. Nate, Steel, Ravi, and I soon landed on the ground.

"Boy, am I glad to see you guys!" Zoey said as Nate and I helped her up.

"We thought you might be in a tight spot." Ravi stated.

"Seems we were right." I added on.

"That's an understatement." Zoey said.

"You weren't answering, so we brought you a Comm." Nate informed.

"Thanks." Zoey said as Robo-Roxy changed into her battle gear, making us all get into a fighting stance.

"Don't you know not to mess with poisonous plants?" Robo-Roxy sneered.

"Unfortunately for you, poison happens to be my speciality." I shot back.

"Activate Beast Power!" Zoey shouted as she soon morphed.

"Tronics!" Robo-Roxy called out as Tronics soon appeared.

"Take 'em down!" Zoey exclaimed.

We soon began fighting the Tronics. I made a few lose their footing before doing a twirl in the air as I kicked a Tronic down, grunting as I did so.

"Uh-oh!" Zoey said as we regrouped.

"Well, I got what I came for. Later, losers." Robo-Roxy said as she disappeared with the DNA scanner.

"She took the fossil DNA!" Zoey stated.

"The important thing is you're safe. Now let's get out of here." Nate said.

"Hold on! There's just one thing." Zoey informed as we followed her to the digging site. "Mike needs a new sample."

She picked up a fossil. "That'll do. Come on, we better get it back to him." Zoey said as we flew up to the Chopper Zord.

"Thanks, Jax. Let's go!"

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

We all rushed forward to meet up with Robo-Blaze and Robo-Roxy.

"Stop right there!" Devon ordered.

"Or what?" Robo-Roxy challenged.

"We were hoping you could help us with a fun little game called 'who can wipe out the most Rangers'." Robo-Blaze claimed.

"My money is on neither of you. It's morphin' time!" Devon shouted as our morphers soon appeared.

"Activate Beast Power! Ha!" We all shouted as we soon morphed.

"Unleash the beast!"

"Do you recognize me, Zoey?" Robo-Roxy asked as she had a new form. "Your brother's fossil's about to make you history."

"She combined with dino DNA!" Zoey exclaimed.

"Exactly!" Robo-Roxy laughed.

Robo-Blaze groaned. "No one likes a show-off, Roxy." He complained.

All of us soon began fighting Robo-Blaze and Robo-Roxy, in which we all got thrown back by her power

Robo-Roxy ended up firing at us as we quickly dodged her attack.

"You two surround her. We'll cover you." Ravi told Nate and Steel.

"Roger!" Nate replied as him and Steel fired at Robo-Roxy while Ravi, Zoey, and I charged past her.

"Oh, I don't think so." Robo-Roxy said, grabbing the three of us. "Just try and break my grip."

"Activate Beast-X mode!"

Ravi, Zoey, and I got into Beast-X mode, breaking Robo-Roxy's grip on us.

"Beast Blast!" Nate and Steel shouted, firing at her.

"You guys okay?" Nate asked.

"Yeah." Zoey responded.

Robo-Roxy laughed. "Not for much longer." She claimed.

We continued to fight her. "Jackrabbit Spinstrike!" Zoey shouted, causing Robo-Roxy to crash to the ground.

"That barely left a scratch!" Zoey noticed.

"You fools have no idea what powers this DNA has given me!" Robo-Roxy exclaimed before flying into the air and growing giant.

"This is crazy!" Ravi said.

"Big yikes!" Zoey exclaimed.

"Not good!" I commented as Robo-Roxy laughed evilly.

"Come in, Commander. Are you seeing this?" Ravi questioned.

"Copy that, Ravi. We're deploying Zords now." Commander Shaw replied. "Devon is still fighting Blaze, so you five need to take out Giant Roxy."

"Roger that. Leaving now." Ravi informed. "Let's do it."

All of us were in our Zords. "In position." I said, getting in the Beast-X King Zord.

"Beast-X King Ultrazord, combine!" I shouted, pressing a few buttons.

"Beast-X King Ultrazord unleashed!"

"Let's rumble!" Robo-Roxy exclaimed. She soon attacked us, making us groan.

"Hold on, team!" Steel said.

Robo-Roxy continued to attack us. "We need our defense system!" Ravi said.

"I'll activate our energy shields." Nate informed. "Online!"

Robo-Roxy soon flew up in the air and fired at us, only for it to deflect right back at her as she crashed to the ground.

"Good job! We got her." Zoey praised.

"Now's our chance to finish this monstrosity." Ravi claimed. "Say goodbye, fake Roxy!"

"Beast-X King Ultrastrike!"

We soon slashed at Robo-Roxy. "No! Noooo!" She exclaimed as electricity surrounded her before she went up in flames.

"Virus eliminated."

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

All of us were at Riptide Gym. "And then they freaked and teleported away." Devon finished.

"So Robo-Roxy's really gone for good?" Ravi asked.

"Scrozzle seemed pretty certain." Devon answered.

"Wow! The real Roxy will be happy to hear that." Ravi said.

"All we gotta do now is defeat Robo-Blaze, and we're one step closer to defeating Evox." I informed, making Devon nod in agreement.

"Hey, you okay, Zoey?" Nate questioned in concern.

"I am, thanks to you guys. Today I made the same mistake as Roxy. After I destroyed Mike's fossil I thought, you know, I'm the girl who solves big problems. I could just go get a new one all on my own." Zoey paused as she sighed. "But the truth is if you guys hadn't helped me against Roxy, today would've ended, well, a lot different."

"Don't worry. We've always got your back." Devon reassured her.

"We wouldn't be a team if we didn't." I added on.

"Thanks. It's good to know that I can ask for help. You guys are the best." Zoey told us.

"Aww!" Steel commented as we all chuckled.

"Zoey!" Mike called her name.

"Oh, hi, Mike." Zoey greeted.

"Big news— I got the scholarship." Mike announced as we all cheered for him while Zoey gave her brother a high five.

"Nice! You deserve it." Zoey told him. "Look out fossils. . ."

". . . here comes Mike Reeves." Mike finished as Zoey laughed.

"Hey, I'm lucky to have such a determined sister. But please don't do something like that again, or I'll tell Mom!" Mike threatened in a playful manner.

"Okay, I promise." Zoey said, giving him a hug.

"There's my food. I'm starving." Devon commented.

"At ease, folks. Pickles is safe and snug." Betty said as her and Ben were carrying a kennel.

"Our pup will be no problem now that we've got him in his doggy crate." Ben said, setting the crate down.

"You know, he's had a lot of training." Betty informed.

"Like obedience training?" Nate asked.

"That dog has had military training. Search and rescue, piloting." Ben replied.

"Pickles has done it all, but now he's retired." Betty added.

"My hot dog!" Devon suddenly exclaimed. "Pickles stole my hot dog."

"What? He wouldn't do that." Ben said.

"Pickles is a good boy. He would never leave his crate." Betty informed. "We'll show ya."

Betty placed the kennel on the table. "You see? He's right. . ." Ben paused as he saw Pickles with Devon's hot dog. "there."

"Pickles?"

Ben and Betty soon had ketchup squirted onto their faces. "Yep, you're right. We owe you a new hot dog." Ben said as we all laughed.
