Star Crossed Rangers (Part 4)
"I hope this isn't too weird for you. Us being here and all." Emma mentions mid-conversation.
"Oh not at all, this place is huge. You forget we live here sometimes." Carla reassures.
"Well, thanks for letting us be here. I love my parents but, they drive me nuts sometimes." Gia comments.
"Tell me about it. Try having a passcode to the house, refrigerator, and the bathroom. If you don't remember them, you're doomed." Noah says.
"Wait what? You can't be serious?" Daniel chuckles.
"Oh I am. I was so busy on a project once and I let Jake crash at my place." Noah brings up.
"And I had to pee so bad so he goes to unlock the house...nothing. He forgot the passcode and I was sitting there about to cry." Jake tells the next part.
"So I had to wake my mom up by calling her to tell her we were outside." Noah continues.
"And she forgot the passcode and I was about to explode in my pants for the whole world to see." Jake progresses the memory.
"Thank goodness my dad was just coming off from work because it took him to let us back in." Noah says.
"So I finally run in to use the bathroom right." Jake keeps going, "But then I forgot...there was another passcode! I was like whhyyy?!"
"I remembered that one, so I opened the door for him." Noah speaks.
"Man if he forgot, the houseplant would've been over-watered that night." Jake finishes it.
"Ew." Orion grimaces.
"Ditto" Emma sides with him.
"I know. So when Savannah let us stay here, I was like thank the stars!" Jake talks.
"Right." Daniel replies and directs the topic back to what it was previously, "Okay, so we know what we're doing?"
"Yep." Jake says, "The day after tomorrow, we start training to face Kent and his guys on his turf. This is going to be epic!"
"And scary. I have no idea what that place looks like." Emma comments.
"I haven't been there either, but I heard it's like a mine field or something. People who fought there don't come back." Daniel describes.
"An army was sent there once and only two came back. It'll be a miracle if we don't get caught." Carla adds.
"Well...that sounds wonderful." Orion fears.
"You're lucky we have powers. We can sneak you guys in without be tracked." Daniel says as the backdoor reopens. Troy closes the door when he and Savannah re-enter the house to join everyone, "Hey, you guys okay?"
"Just going over a few moves we could work on before we leave for Kent's planet." Savannah lies convincingly.
"Cool. Maybe you could show us before we go too." Jake suggests.
"Sure, that sounds good." Troy agrees to this and then perceives to make eye contact with his other teammates, "You guys should go rest up. Walking too much could make it worse."
"It hurts a lot more later if you don't. Trust me, I've been through this." Savannah warns them.
The group nods and proceeds to head upstairs. Jake wobbles a little, so Daniel quickly jumps up to help him. The same goes for Carla when she joins the rest of them by walking behind. Troy watches them leave to be certain that they were gone. The redhead of the bunch casually waits for him to speak, and when the team has left, he does so, "This is a good call right?"
"Are you asking me or second guessing yourself?" Savannah poses the question.
"I don't know." Troy was uncertain.
"I'm going with or without you." Savannah retorts, "If Kent is off somewhere, I'm taking advantage. Ready or not doesn't matter anymore."
She sees him glance back upstairs and take a deep breath to relax. He stares back at her, determination fired up from within, "You're right." He then realizes something, "Hey! This was my idea."
"And?" Savannah inquires.
"You can't take credit for ny idea." Troy says.
Savannah shrugs with a playful smile, "I can if I was already thinking about it."
Troy huffs, "Great minds then, huh?"
"Mmm, maybe. Don't get a big head about it." Savannah responds. She turns on her heels to walk away into the lower level hallway. Troy smiles and shakes his head. He walks over to the couch and sits down.

The army of aliens secure the barrels of Morph X onto their ship far from the city. Will hears a noise from the corner and turns to see who it was. His boss returns in scratches and wounds, although his energy remained unaffected. He walks towards his second in command, smiling, "Is everything here?"
"Yes sir, not one drop has leaked." Will in sureness.
"Excellent." Kent turns to his team, "Prepare for take off. We leave in two minutes."
"Were you followed?" Will quizzes.
Kent scoffs and nearly laughs at his comrade, "No mortal should ever be able to catch me."
"Well we are dealing with Power Rangers, who are not completely mortal." Will notes.
"It all applies, Will." Will raised his eyebrows and crosses his arms Kent sighs and corrects himself, "Fine, no Ranger should have the ability to catch me. Is that better?"
"Much sir." Will ripostes.
"Good." Kent says before grabbing and yanking him close by the collar, "Don't question me on anything silly such as that ever again. Got it?"
"Yes sir." Will complies in order to be freed.
Kent lets him go and walks towards his soldiers. Will rolls his eyes and travels to the barrels set, in place, ready for flying.

"Commence emergency protocol for the Morph X tower and Grid Battleforce immediately. I need everyone on deck now!" Commander Shaw orders when she and Rangers stumble back into the base.
"Right away Commander!" A Battleforce worker obeys.
"Mom-"
"Ravi, I'm alright." Shaw reassures her son while she sits back in her chair cautiously, "But I've never seen him before."
"That type of power is something else, something bigger." Nate says.
"He nearly wiped out my circuits in one hit." Steel comments.
"Not to mention a huge group of cadets. They're all banged up in the medical wing." Devon adds.
"We need to find out who he is and where he came from. Chances are he's probably coming back." says Zoey.
The doors slide open to reveal Blaze and Roxy. They run over to the crew in worry, "Are you guys okay?"
"We're okay." Ravi replies to relieve his girlfriend.
"That was nasty." Blaze says.
"Did you pick up anything on the scanners?" Commander inquires.
"Yes." Blaze informs everyone, "I don't know how he got here, but he's from another dimension. He traveled through a portal to get here."
"He could've been bopping back and forth this entire time." Roxy realizes.
"Well at least we know something. We have to follow him back." Ravi speaks.
Nate walks to his lab bench to open a drawer. Zoey eyes him curiously, "What are you doing?"
"I've been working on it for a while now. It's still in the works in terms of proper landing, but it'll do the trick." The gold ranger grabs an invention of his and turns around to show the Beast Morphers, "This transporter should help us find the right dimension and stop this guy from using the Morph X."
"That's perfect!" Ravi speaks first, "How fast can it get us there?"
"It shouldn't take us long at all." Nate responds.
"Good. Take every weapon you need and travel carefully. We have no idea who we're up against." Commander Shaw orders.
"Let's go." Devon leads the team out of the room.
