SHELBY

Page Four

Shelby debates for a moment and then slides down as well.  At the end of the slide, Shelby finds herself inside a room.  She joins Tyler and Riley, who are standing in wonder.  Riley thinks it's some kind of lab.  They slowly walk further into the room.  Shelby tells them, I've been serving burgers here for a year, never had a clue this was down here.  Tyler notices two more Energems and tells Riley and Shelby, check this out.  Tyler takes a closer look as Shelby and Riley join him.  Shelby excitedly states, they're just like ours.  Shelby is surprised when her Pink Energem flies out of her hand and into display with the other two Energems.  Riley and Tyler pull out their Energems and they fly over to the display as well.  Tyler laughs.  Riley thinks it's some kind of power source.  Suddenly Keeper appears.  Keeper explains, they are Energems.  Tyler warns Keeper to stay back.  Shelby asks, who?  What are you?  Keeper tells them his name.  I assure you, I'm quite harmless.  Energems harness untold powers of the universe.  Keeper makes images from the past appear as he continues.  Long ago I trusted them to guardian dinosaurs, but when the dinosaurs went extinct, the Energems were lost.  Tyler adds, until...we found them.  Keeper agrees.  These Energems have chosen to bond with you.  The three teens once more receive images of their dinosaur.  Riley asks, why would they bond with us?  Shelby is surprised when Koda, Chase, and Kendall walk in.  Koda, Kendall, and Chase stand beside Keeper.  Kendall walks up to Tyler and tells him, you fought to defend a stranger at great risk to yourself.  That's why the Red Energem chose you Tyler.  Tyler smiles.  Kendall walks over to Riley and tells him, your discipline and intelligence have given you the skills to protect others.  The Green Energem was very wise to chose you Riley.  Riley gives a hesitant smile.  Kendall walks over to Shelby and tells her, why the Pink Energem chose you...is anyone's guess.   Riley states, okay, Energems, dinosaurs spirits, and bonding.  I'm sorry, but this all sounds a little unbelievable.  Kendall smiles and then tells Koda and Chase, show them.  Koda and Chase step forward.  They hold out their hands, and the Black and Blue Energems fly into their hands.  Kendall explains, I helped Keeper track down Chase after he bonded to his Energem.  Then we found Koda.  Images of Chase and Koda's dinosaurs appear above their hands.  Koda welcomes them to the team.  Chase tells them, you are officially Power Rangers.  Shelby responds, Power what?  Keeper explains, the Energems have given you magnificent powers and the dinosaur spirits give you strength.  Kendall continues, the five Energems have been found, but five more are still lost.  Kendall points out the empty recharge area.  Kendall tells them, you must use your new powers to find them before they fall into evil hands.  Shelby responds, evil hands?  Like that thing we fought in the woods?  Kendall nods her head yes.  Shelby asks, you expect me to fight monsters?  Really?  I just want to dig for dinosaur bones, not bond to one.  The alarms go off and a screen appears.  Tyler asks, what's going on?  They all hurry over to the screen.  After taking a look, Kendall tells them, I'm seeing more seismic activity. Same location as yesterday.  Chase suggests they take a look.  Tyler introduces himself and states, I'm all in.  Kendall replies, good.  Riley tells them, this all seems crazy but...I'm in too.  Everyone, except Shelby, is happy.  Koda tells them, we go now.  They all get ready to leave, but Shelby stays behind.  Koda, Tyler, Chase, and Riley stop when they realize Shelby is not with them.  Keeper tells Shelby, you fought bravely to save the Pink Energem.  Now the world needs your help.  Kendall tells Keeper, it's her decision.  She's right to be hesitant.  Clearly this mission is just too dangerous.  For a waitress.  Go without her.  Chase and Koda immediately start to head out, but Riley and Tyler stay where they are.  Shelby shouts, wait!  Koda and Chase stop.  Shelby states, sure I'm a little scare.  Who wouldn't be?  But I know more about dinosaurs than any of you.  Fact is...you need me.  And I want to help.
