Issue 1 - The Amber Claw

Tommy spots Zeltrax and a new monster appearing at the museum and calls the rangers, but before they can get into the museum they have to blast through Elsa and the Tyranodrones. Inside Zeltrax found what he was looking for, a dinosaur claw preserved in amber which Mesogog can use to create an army of monsters. The rangers arrive and destroy the monster with the Z-Rex blaster, but Mesogog activtes the ragenerating rain that makes the monster grow in-size. The rangers form the megazord and battle with the monster but no-one is winning, so they decide to detatch their zords and attack three different parts of the monster at the same time causing it to explode. Zeltrax is about to teleport with the claw but Connor uses his super speed and grabs it just before Zeltrax can return to Mesogog's lair.

May 4, 2005

Ethan runs a computer simulation of Connor on his raptor rider in battle and finds his weakness, he leaves himself open when he strikes with the tyranno spear across his body. Just then some Tyranodrones appear at the forest and our rangers morph and head over there. As they battle Elsa appears and lets an insect loose that bites Connor's neck. This makes him act crazy before he knocks both Ethan and Kira down then leaves on his raptor rider. Ethan goes after Connor and Kira captures the insect which she takes back to Tommy who finds out that it was carrying a mind-scrambling virus. Tommy creates an antidote but Ethan has to hold off Connor until Kira can get it to them.

But again as the megazord fires at the monster it only makes him bigger and stronger. The black ranger thinks that the receiver dishes on the monster are amplifying their own firepower.
