Chapter 2

Karone: Can you repeat that last bit, I'm sure I misheard you.

Trey: You didn't mishear me, I need you to pretend to be Astronema again.

Karone: But why?

Trey: Because Elgar was destroyed after Andros smashed Zordon's energy tube, he doesn't know that you're Karone now.

Karone: Ah! So if I pretend to be Astronema, Elgar will think that I still am Astronema and do what I tell him.

Trey: Exactly! And that is why we need the Dark Fortress, to make it more real.

Zhane: Aren't you forgetting something, we still need to get permission from Commander Norquist.

Trey: I was hoping that you and Karone could convince him to let us borrow it.

Zhane: What makes you think that he'll listen to us.

Trey: Because he knows the two of you. He doesn't know the rest of us.

Karone: What I think Zhane means is that Commander Norquist is more likely to listen to a red ranger than any of us.

Zhane: Yeah! That's exactly what I mean. He's not going to listen to us just because he knows us.

Trey: Well I can't ask Tommy, I've already asked enough off him. So who do we ask, I'm assuming you a red from the Serpenterra mission.

Zhane: Yeah! I do mean those reds. I'm not asking Andros, he'll freak at the thought of it. TJ will tell Andros, so I'm not asking him either.

Trey: There were ten reds on the Serpenterra mission. We have just ruled out three, so that leaves six. So which one do we ask.

Tyzonn: Six, don't you mean seven if there were ten.

Trey: One of them was Aurico, the red Aquitian ranger.

Tyzonn: Ah! OK, so he can't ask because he's unable to.

Zhane: Duh! It is Aurico's home planet that Elgar is attacking, stupid.

Tyzonn: I didn't know that the red Aquitian ranger was one of the reds from the Serpenterra mission and I'm not stupid. So who does that leave?

Trey: Jason, Leo, Carter, Wes, Eric and Cole.

Ryan: What makes any of you think that the reds are going to ask for us.

Zhane: Because will we owe them one, so we would have to do what ever it takes to get them to ask. The reds will take advantage of that.

Cam: I think the thing to consider here is which red would this Commander Norquist listen to more.

Merrick: Definitely not Cole, no one can take him seriously, he's too much of an idiot.

Karone: Well Jason was the original red here on Earth, so what about him.

Trey: OK! Do any of you have his phone number?

At this point the others burst into laughter.

Mike: How do you expect to contact of them if you don't have phone numbers.

Trey: I wasn't expecting to have to contact any of them. I'm guessing no one has Jason's number then.

All: No.

Trey: Do any of you have any of the reds phone numbers.

Ryan: I have Carter's, after all he is living with my sister.

Trey: Anyone else.

Merrick: Only Cole's.

Trey: What about Wes, Eric and Leo.

Mike: We don't have phones on Mirinoi, so that rules Leo out.

Trey: Right! Then I guess that we're phoning Carter. Ryan, his number please, unless you call him.

Ryan: I'll call him. (He goes off to make the call).

Cam: I'm curious about one thing.

Trey: What's that then Cam.

Cam: If our transport to Aquitar is at the Nasada Space Port, then why are we meeting here and not there.

Trey: Tommy told me that Commander Norquist wasn't happy about all the reds having their vehicles at the Nasada Space Port during the Serpenterra mission.

Cam: So we're leaving most of the vehicles here and just taking as few as possible then.

Karone: Just one would be better. The Rescue Rover can hold all of us.

Trey: We're not taking any of these vehicles, we have a late arrival who will be bringing our transport.

Merrick: Like who?

Trey: Daggeron, the Solaris Knight from the Mystic Force team.

Tyzonn: Xander told me about him, he has a side kick that's a genie. A cat genie called Jinji. They have a mystical train called The Jinji Express.

Zhane: So we're going to be travelling on a mystical train, how nice.

Trey: Yes we are, Once Daggeron gets here. Jinji will controlling the train, so obviously he will be joining us as well.

Mike: So is this cat genie a genie that lives in a lamp or a bottle or something like that.

Trey: A lamp and he has to return to it within two hours of coming out of it or he will begin to fade.

Ryan then returns to the group.

Trey: Ryan is Carter going to help us out?

Ryan: He said he'll try, but he's not guaranteeing anything. He's going to call me back to let me know.

Zhane: Hey Ryan, we're going to be travelling on a mystical train, how cool is that.

Ryan: Obviously I missed something, a mystical train and how is it getting here. Is it just going to appear out of nowhere.

Karone: Another sixth ranger is bringing it, we'll be going to the Nasada Space Port on it.

Ryan: Another one, how many more are coming then.

Trey: Just Daggeron and his side kick Jinji.

Cam: Apparently Daggeron is the Solaris Knight from the Mystic Force team and Jinji is a cat genie.

Ryan: A cat genie, I've heard it all now.

Zhane: I know, it's hilarious isn't it. I wonder what they will come up with next.

As the group laugh at this comment, they hear the sound of a train coming.
