Hey you guys. Sorry but, I promised my best friend that I would post this for her birthday:)

I do not own Operation overdrive. All I own is Jessica :)

Dedication to: grapejuice101


Operation Overdrive Episode 2: Kick into Overdrive.

The rangers unmophed and ran over to Mr. Hartford, Spencer, and Jessica. Jessica ran to Mack and he hugged her.

"Are you okay?"Mack asked

"Yup. Nothing that Moltor or Flurious can do is going to scare me!"Jessica lied

"We can't let them get away we have to go after the crown."Will said

"No. There are people to be saved first!"Mr. Hartford said

"But the crown!"Ronny and Jessica said

"It wasn't the real crown."Mr. Hartford said Spencer looked shocked."Now, you need to split up. Rose, Ronny, and Dax - find a way to stop the volcano at the source."

"All right, then Mack and I will go into town and see how we..."Will started

"Wait. Mack has done enough."Mr. Hartford said

Mack pushed Jessica behind him.

"No, dad. I started this. I'm going to finish it."Mack said

They stare at each other for a moment, Mack determined and Andrew uneasy. Then Mack and Will take off for the city.

"He'll be fine sir."Spencer said

"Wait Mack!"Jessica yelled ruining after him.

"Jess I have to go!"Mack said

"I know.."Jessica said tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Whats wrong?"Mack asked

"Just be careful,"Jessica said then she looked to will "and watch out for each other."

Mack nodded and ran off with Will. Spencer and Mr. Hartford watched the two.

"He'll be fine, sir."Spencer said

doesn't look so sure.


Mack and Will.

Downtown in the city, where people are screaming and running from a tidal wave of lava. A young woman trips and falls on the concrete. The Black Ranger appears, somersaulting through the air, getting a flying boost off a car, and landing beside her.

"Come on! Hurry!"Will yells

He helps her up, the grabs her and leaps to a safer spot.

"Now keep moving to higher ground."Will yells

She nods and runs off. We see an Asian woman with a small baby, trapped inside a car with lava approaching. Mack is nearby urging people to run.

"Keep moving."Mack shouted

He leaps over the abandoned cars, does a back flip and runs up to the car with the woman and baby, who are both crying.

"My baby!"The woman screams

"Hang on a second; I'll get you out!"Mack said while he shoves off the car which was blocking her door"Okay, move back!"

Mack rips the car door off and tosses it, and helps the woman and baby out.

"Come on! Let's go!"mack said

"Thank you!"the woman said

From above, we see two rivers of lava converging on an intersection, driving a crowd of people before them.


Dax, Rose, and Ronny's prov.

At the volcano, Rose is using some kind of small sensor or instrument, holding it near a rocky cliff side.

"The source of the lava is behind these rocks. Ronny?"Rose said

"Allow me! Drive Claws!"Ronny said

Ronny already has her Drive Claws, and now she steps past Rose and attacks the mountainside at super speed, tearing it up and revealing a mass of glowing semi-molten rock. She and the others are driven back by the heat.

"The heat's too intense! We have to get closer!"Rose said

"I'll handle that! Drive Vortex!"Dax said

Dax aims the Vortex at the lava now pouring out, cooling it with a super strong wind.

"There you go! It won't hold for long, but do your thing, Rose!"Dax said

"Got it. Drive Geyser!"Rose said

She shoots a stream of water into the opening, further cooling the rock.


Mack and Will's prov.

Back in the city, things look bad. Lava flows have trapped a small group of people as Will and Mack arrive.

"They're cornered! Now what?"Will asked

"Um… I know! Do you have your Slammer handy?"Mack asked

"Oh yeah!"Will said

he holds out hand.

"Drive Slammer!"Will said and it appears "It's right here!"

"Nice! Now slam something!"Mack said

Will swings the Slammer and smashed it down on the concrete, splitting a deep crevasse into the ground. The lava pours into it and drains away, leaving the now-safe crowd cheering.

"All right!" Will and Mack said they shake hands


Back at the Hartford Mansion.

Afterwards, the team has returned to the Hartford mansion and are talking in their underground base. Jessica ran to Mack who was to excited to see her he wanted to tell her what had happened.

"We did what Moltor asked us to do! Be heroes!"Dax said

"But the bad guys got away."Will said

"There will be another day. But today… today you guys were great!"Mr. Hartford said

"We were great? Mack was the one who was great. He led us to victory and saved everyone's skin, including yours."Rose said

Dax pats Mack on the shoulder and Mack hugs Jessica.

"Yes. Great job, Mack. You wanted to be a Ranger, and you were one. Now it's time to put away that fantasy."Mr. Hartford said then approaches Mack and reaches for his Tracker "I'll take that."

"But - Dad!"Mack said

"I'll be upstairs in my office."

Jessica was angry beyond angry her blood was boiling. She looked at Mack who is left looking very disappointed and unhappy; the others don't like this development takes off upstairs. She had been quite long enough.


With Jessica.

Andrew is seen next upstairs in his office , opening the safe behind that same painting, the one where he keeps the Corona Aurora. He presses his thumb to a reader to unlock it, puts the Tracker inside, and takes out the Corona Aurora apparently just to look at it. Jessica walks up and sees it.

"Is that so important that you crush your sons dreams?"Jessica asked

turned around and saw her.

"Jessica. You don't understand."Mr. Hartford said "I am trying to protect him."

"Well I don't see that happening."Jessica said

"What do you mean?"

"Spencer and I know more about your own son then you do. How can you protect him if you don't know one thing about him?"

The office was quite, soon the two of them jumped as a voice speaks behind them they turn to see Moltor with two of his Lava Lizards. Jessica runs and stands by .

" Very clever. Now I'll take the real crown."Moltor said


With the other rangers.

Down in the Overdrive Base, Will is taking a closer look at the big silver wire frame globe in the middle of the main room. He touches it a couple of times and sees circles of light spread from each contact.

"Incredible! I thought only the Defense Department had this type of global tracking capability."Will said

Rose who was standing at a wall display and console said:

"This one's way better. It's got a network of twenty-seven satellites, wide area augmentation system, parallel multichannel design, and a differential GPS accurate to one inch or less." she looks at Ronny, who is staring and finishes "What? Oh, I guess I'm the only one who memorized the data manual."

"Now, where are these amazing vehicles they said we'd be using?"Ronny said

She presses a control, and the picture on the monitor changes from a spinning world globe to a view of a large parking and maintenance area with several heavy-duty vehicles of several kinds, each in a different color. Most resemble construction machines: a cement mixer, a drill, a crane, a winch, a dump truck, many others.

"Wow, cool!"Rose said

"I think you found them."Dax said

"Those are for us?" Ronny said overcome with awe "I may need to lie down a minute."


With Mack

Meanwhile, Mack is sitting on the steps at the back of the house, moping, when Spencer finds him.

"What, no book?"Spencer asked

"I don't feel like it today. Guess I'm just tired of reading about everyone else's adventures."Mack said

Spencer whips a handkerchief out of his pocket and spreads it on the step next to Mack.

"Nasty place, the , I can see you're upset. I could also see Miss. Jessica was to."Spencer said

"I'm not upset. I'm confused. My father's kept me sheltered my whole life. Now the one chance I have to prove myself, I do - and he takes it away."Mack said "I'm not sure about Jessica though"

Mack gives Spencer a perplexed and frustrated look. Spencer sighs.

" Look. I know you don't understand this, but he's only doing all this to protect you."

Mack nods skeptically

"Your father is the most fearless man I've ever met."

Mack makes a face

"There's only one thing I know he's afraid of. Losing you."

Mack looks at him

"So if sometimes you feel like just one of his possessions, remember that with all his wealth and his treasures - you… are the one thing that, to him, is irreplaceable."

"Thanks Spencer."

Mack looks a little comforted. Enough that moments later he is running into the room with the safe, looking for his father - only to find papers scattered on the floor and chairs overturned.

"Dad! Dad?"Mack asked

Mack takes another look around the room, he sees Jessica's shoe sitting with out Jessica in it. Mack looks fearful, and runs out.


With and Jessica.

On a beach somewhere, Moltor shoves Andrew in the back, knocking him down on his face with a grunt. Then he shoves Jessica down who stumbles and feels her ankle hurting. Flurious approaches them from the other direction.

"Ah, brother. Really nice to see you've survived all these years."Flurious said

"Ah, brother. Your insincerity shines through, as always."Moltor said

"Who is your guests?"Flurious asked

Moltor: No one special.

Mr. Hartford stands up and said:

"I'm Andrew Hartford, and I demand to be released. Also the release of Jessica!"

"Andrew Hartford. You're the one who found the crown. I see my brother has enrolled you into helping him."Flurious said then walked to Jessica "I don't know you though."

"I'm not helping him. And I'm not going to help you!"Mr. Hartford said "Stay away from her!"

"Very smart of you, Moltor. If he found the crown, perhaps he can help us find the jewels."Flurious said

Flurious reaches up to touch Andrew's hair. Andrew jerks away Moltor starts to rub Jessica's head.

" Us? Oh yes, of course. Us!"Moltor said

"Good. Perhaps I'll join you later. When it isn't so hot."Flurious said"I'm going to take her though!"

Flurious jerked up Jessica.

"JESSICA!"Mr. Hartford yelled

"! HELP ME!"Jessica yelled

"Oh yes, of course. Take care of yourself! Go back to your ice cube! I'll handle him."Moltor said

Flurious looks back suspiciously with Jessica's arm in his hand then Flurious says to his brother:

"See that you do. But - don't fail me, brother."


With Mack.

Back at the Hartford mansion, Mack is understandably worried as he talks to Spencer and the Rangers in their underground base.

"He's gone, and his office is trashed. It's gotta be those lava freaks that took him."Mack said "They took Jessica to!"

"At least he has his locator watch with him. That is if he hasn't broken it already."Spencer said "Is Miss. Jessica wearing the small locket you and I got her for her birthday?"

"Yes, why?"Mack asked

"That also is a locator. Mr. Hartford thought it would be best to give her one also since he thinks of her as part of the family."Spencer said

"I'll program a search pattern starting with the West Coast grid. I can widen it if necessary."Rose said

"Don't worry, Mack. We're going to get your dad back and Jessica"Dax said

"Thanks. I wish he hadn't taken Red's Tracker. "Mack said

"Ah yes… The Tracker. What a pity it's in your father's office. Locked in a fool-proof safe. Impossible to crack. Impossible."Spencer said

With this rather obvious hint, he turns to look at Will, who's starting to smirk.

Next thing, Will is examining the safe upstairs and looking a little dismayed. Mack was standing beside him.

"Citadel 5000 with digital imprint signature code? Impenetrable! (pause) We'll just have to see about that."Will said

Will seems to have brought the tools of his trade - he opens a carrying case packed with various tools, wires, etc, and takes out a handheld scanner. He aims it at a glass of milk sitting on a table or desk, and scans over it with a reddish beam. After putting it back in a socket in the case, he waits for a second. We see a fingerprint appear on another, sort of open metal box-like device.

"Yes, Mr. Hartford's thumbprint."Will said

Pressing his own thumb on it, he lifts a thin sheet of plastic with the print on it, smiles, and heads back to the safe.

With the other Rangers.

Down in the base, expanding circles flash on a computer map image of an island.

"I found him!"Ronny said

"Ah, wonder of wonders, for once Mr. Hartford remembered his locator watch!"Spencer said

"Yes!"Mack said walking down stairs

"Rotuma Island. I never heard of it."Ronny said

The map image changes to a view of an active volcano forming a small island.

"It's a remote island in Australasia, approximately 465 kilometers north of Fiji. Now what I don't know - is how we're going to get all the way over there."Rose said

"Well, the fastest way would be to use the special hydro/aero recon craft. Which Mr. Hartford loves to call - the SHARC."Spencer said

He steps to a control panel and pushes a button, bringing up a display of a small, rounded craft with wings, wing and tail fins, and tank-like treads underneath. An informational readout below labels it S.H.A.R.C.

"Sweet! I'm driving!"Ronny said

"Yeah, I'm going too. Don't try and stop us, Spencer."Mack said "I'm saving Dad and Jessica!"

"I wouldn't dare, sir."Spencer said "bring them home."

"Hey, hotshot!" Will said they all turn around to see Will, who holds up the Red Tracker "If you're coming along, you might need this."

"My Tracker!"Mack said

"You did it!"Ronny laughs

Will tosses the Tracker to Mack.

"Was there a doubt?"Will said

The rangers get into the SHARC and they are off..Ronny speeds it up and the group is going now faster then they have. The group looks out the windows to see they are half flying, half-skimming over the surface of the ocean. Inside, Ronny is indeed driving as her teammates sit behind her, each at some kind of control or sensor console.

"This baby rips!"Ronny said

"We're getting close."Dax said

"Setting course for Rotuma Island."Rose said

"Got it."Will replied

" Can't we go any faster?"Mack asked

"You just said the magic word."Ronny asked

She accelerates, and they all gasp as they're forced back in their seats. Ronny whoops with joy. The SHARC makes a very speedy beeline for a rocky shore. Moments later they've landed and the Rangers are walking along a rocky, muddy-looking beach.

"Now what?"Ronny asked

"Let's look around."Dax said

"Allow me."will said

He steps in front and uses his enhanced vision, quickly scanning and zeroing in on the dark mouth of a small cave.

"I think I've found it. There's a cave entrance on the west side of the volcano."Will said

"Good job, Will. Let's go."Mack said

"Wait! I think I heard – Lava Lizards!"Will said

Sure enough, a bunch of the sword-swinging lizards pops up from the grass and rocks and comes leaping to the attack. The Rangers fight back unmorphed and show us some nice moves, but first Will, then Dax, Ronny, Rose, and finally Mack are flipped, thrown, or bashed to the ground. Will shields his face with an arm as a Lava Lizard raises its sword to finish him off, but Ronny sees and pulls him out of danger at super speed. Rose is surrounded but turns invisible and dives out of the way, leaving the three lizards attacking her to smash into each other.

Mack wrestling with a lizard yell:

"Dax, head for the cave!"

"I'll jump to it!"Dax replied

He does, springing across the landscape in a series of gravity-defying leaps.


With

Inside that cave, Moltor walks out of a stony passageway, followed by a group of Lava Lizards who are dragging Andrew with them.

"Bring him here."Moltor said

Moltor leads the way to the edge of a small cliff overlooking a ravine filled with a pool of red-glowing lava.

"I'll give you one more chance to come to your senses. Will you help me find the jewels, or not?"Moltor said

"For the last time. I'll never help you!" said

Moltor grunts with frustration - or threat - grabs an unfortunate Lava Lizard and shoves it over the edge. It falls into the lava.

"You'll be next!"Moltor said

Andrew looks afraid but determined.

The Lava Lizard Moltor threw into the lava comes scrambling back up over the edge and takes its place with its companions.

"Lava Lizards can survive molten lava. Now, let's see if you can!"Moltor said

He whirls on Andrew and grabs him by the arm, throwing him through the air and over the cliff. Andrew screams, but rescue has arrived in the form of Dax who is on the other side of the lava ravine.

"Zip line, go!"Dax said

He fires a line from a small gun. A three-pronged hook on the end sinks into the rock of the cave ceiling enough to support Dax as he swings out over the ravine to catch Andrew in midair.

"What? No!"Moltor said

Dax and Andrew swing through the Lava Lizards and land behind them. Dax is very pleased with himself.

"That was the same stunt I did in 'King for a Day', only that time I saved a beautiful princess."Dax said

"I saw that movie. I don't remember you being in it."Andrew said

"Story of my life."Dax replied

The Lava Lizards, having waited for the dialog to finish, now attack. Dax does a few spinning kicks, throws a couple of punches at a lizard and then jumps to kick it while punching another one. Then he rolls and jumps back to his feet, does a flying spin, another spinning kick and a leg sweep. After a front kick off a lizard and a backflip back to his feet, he ends up standing next to Andrew again, grinning. That doesn't last long as Moltor makes an angry sound and gesture.

"RUN!"Dax shouted

Moltor throws a lightning bolt from the golden decoration on his forehead, barely missing them.

"You can't run from me!"Moltor said

Moltor charges after them, but Andrew and Dax escape the cave and go running down the shore to where the others are still fighting the other Lava Lizards.

"Mack, what are you doing here?"Andrew asked

"Saving your butt!"Mack said smiling

Mack dodges and kicks a lizard just before Andrew reaches him, grabbing him in a sort-of hug and then letting go.

"I thought I told you–"Andrew started

Moltor interrupts by leaping in, followed by more lizards.

"You'll never escape this island."Moltor said

Ronny who was struggling with a lizard said:

"Great! Here comes hot-head again!"

She shoves the lizard away. Mack reaches into his pocket and takes out his Tracker. Andrew sees it and grabs his wrist.

"Mack, how did you…?"Andrew started

"Sorry, Dad, you'll have to finish yelling at me later."Mack said

"Let's turn up the heat."Moltor said

Mack and the other Rangers run to line up, Mack in front and center.

Mack holds up his Tracker:

"Ready!"Mack said

The others grab their Trackers from their left shoulders and hold them up.

"Ready!"they replied

"Overdrive, accelerate!"they all shouted.


Ranger's prov.

They go into their first morphing sequence as a complete team. Will, Dax, Ronny, and Rose are first, with the same four-way morph we saw before. Then it's Mack's turn, with his own version of the same sequence. An instant later, Mack somersaults into action and leaps into a duel with Moltor. He's using his blaster in sword mode this time, while Moltor uses two swords, one in each hand. In a very fast-paced sequence, Mack gives and blocks several blows, spin-kicks, ducks under a slash, and back-kicks. They both charge at each other and stand back-to-back for a moment, then both whirl to face each other. They clash their swords together, with Mack knocking Moltor off-balance, but Moltor spins around and slashes both swords at Mack, who blocks them. Mack then does a whirling leg sweep, which Moltor jumps over. Then it's back to hacking at each other a couple of times, ending with Mack slashing at Moltor who back flips to avoid it and lands face down on the ground.

"Where is Jessica?"Mack asked

"The girl? Oh I bet she is freezing. Flurious took her!"

Mack is angry, he doesn't know why.


With Mr. Hartford.

Andrew is watching, obviously impressed, with a proud smile on his face. Then he looks in a different direction and sees Will fighting off several Lava Lizards by jumping and bouncing off a rock wall, then smashing them with his own sword. It's much the same with Dax, Ronny, and Rose, who is the only one using blaster mode.


With Mack.

Then it's back to Mack and Moltor. They run to attack each other again, this time smashing their swords together and standing for a moment against the background of a fiery explosion. They spin away and back together, crossing swords.

"Do you know who you're dealing with?"Moltor said

"Do you?"Mack asked

All he could think of was the person that had been taken away from him. A couple more slashes send Moltor flying away to land flat on his back.

"I'm just getting started!"Mack said

runs up and said:

"Come on, we gotta get out of here!"

"Okay. Let's go!"Mack said

The other Rangers have run up and they all take off. Moltor is not pleased as he watches the SHARC swiftly zoom back out to sea.

"You'll pay for this! My creature will destroy this island and the people who live here! I'll show these humans not to mess with me!"Moltor said


back at base.

The Rangers and Andrew have arrived back in their base under the Hartford mansion, where they are greeted by Spencer. They're still wearing their Rangers suits, with helmets off.

"Thank goodness you're all right, sir. I was really getting quite worried about you."Spencer said

"Spencer, are you turning into a softy in your old age?"Andrew asked

"Never, sir."

Everyone laughs, but the merriment ends as a whooping alarm goes off. On the monitor, we see a lizard or dragon-like creature.

"A giant sea creature's attacking Rotuma Island."Andrew said

"Sounds like it's time for the big stuff."Ronny said

"All right, Ronny. Guys, get your Drive Max Zords and go."Andrew said

"Oh, yeah!"Ronny said

The four of them step over to a wall, where each takes a silver-gray and red briefcase with the Overdrive logo from a lighted niche.

"Dad, they need my help."Mack said

Andrew looks reluctant, but Rose, Dax, Ronny, and Will all nod, anxious for him to agree. He nods slightly, and Mack dashes to take his own briefcase.

" Mack. Be careful."Andrew said "We will try to find Jessica while your gone."

"Come on, Rangers!"Mack said

Led by Mack, they run out. Andrew looks anxious, Spencer seems quietly proud.


The ranger's prov.

Now fully morphed, the Rangers run into that same garage-like place they saw on the monitor before, the one filled with their various vehicles.

"Whoa! Check it out! Cool!"Rangers

They each take their places in their own color-coded vehicles. The briefcases now unfold into a steering wheel assembly and attach onto the dashboards of each one.

"Dump Driver!"Mack said

Mack is in a red dump truck.

"Speed Driver!"Will said

A black race car-like vehicle. (There's a 2 on the wall behind him.)

"Yeah! Gyro Driver!"Dax said

A blue flyer-type vehicle with wheels held out to the sides like wings. (A 3 behind him and on the platform under the Gyro Driver.)

"Yeah, Dozer Driver!"Ronny said

Ronny puts her Tracker into a mount on the side of her dashboard inside a yellow bulldozer. (A 4 behind her.)

"Sub Driver!"Rose said

Rose also has her Tracker on the dashboard, and presses # and then 5. (A 5 behind her and on the side of the submarine-like Driver.)

"Drive Max Zords, move out"Rangers said

With a five-paneled display of first the Rangers and then their five Trackers, they move out. The Gyro Driver lifts up into the air and the Sub Driver lowers into the water under a set of bridges that the land vehicles drive over. All five appear on the monitor in the base as they set off.

" I'm programming the coordinates to the island into your Zords. Hurry, Rangers!"Andrew said

And on the island, on closer look we see the sea monster is wearing a harness and has large guns mounted on its shoulders. It roars and uses them to blast at the Rangers.

"Oh, yeah!"Mack said

Mack whirls the Dump Driver around and extends mechanical arms ending in clamps or claws from the back. They grab onto the monster's hands - paws - whatever. It tries to pull free.

"I don't think so, pal."Mack said

He releases the clamps and the monster falls over backwards in a small sparking and flaming explosion.

"That slowed him down. Let's stop him for good!"Mack said

"Right!"Rangers said

"DriveMax Megazord, activate!"Mack said

Mack has his Tracker mounted on his dashboard too, and punches in a code. (*, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.) Then he spins the gold wheel at the end. The Dozer Driver and Dump Driver unfold, the Dozer and Sub Drivers attach on the sides of the Dump as arms, and the whole assembly lifts upright as the Speed Driver rolls up along it to become the head. Inside, Mack lifts his wheel-briefcase up and then sinks down into the floor, chair and all. Above them in the sky, the Gyro Driver separates into two pieces and folds up its wheel-wings, and settles down on the head as the helmet. The five Rangers pop up behind five color-coordinated and numbered consoles inside a Megazord control room. They put their wheel-controls and Trackers into place again.

"DriveMax Megazord, assembly complete!"Mack said

The Megazord appears, fully assembled and armed with a giant pick and shovel.

"Drive Digger!"Mack said

DriveMax Megazord plunges the shovel into the earth, throwing dirt at the sea monster and partially burying it.

"Drive Digger, saber mode!"Rangers said

The Megazord brings the pick and shovel together. With a flare of light, they transform into a giant saber. It holds the weapon out, and its arm and the saber begin to glow as an engine revs up.

"Activate."Mack yelled

The saber glows brighter, and the Megazord sweeps it in a circle, forming the Overdrive logo in the air. The two-triangle line through the middle spins, and with a final slash the Megazord throws a blast of energy at the sea monster. It explodes as the Megazord turns its back.


back at the overdrive base.

Andrew and Spencer are watching on the monitor.

"Mack has the makings of a fine Ranger, sir."Spencer said

"Don't you have silverware to polish or something?" said


With Moltor.

And Moltor has also watched the battle from his volcanic home.

"Don't celebrate yet. This battle's not over! "Moltor said as he whips his sword around and presses a button "Rise!"


With the rangers.

With the flash of a shield Mr. Sea Monster does just that, rising from the ashes. The Rangers all yell in alarm as it blasts the DriveMax Megazord from behind.

"He set off a device on that shield!"Mr. Hartford said to the team

"Ohhh, that thing's gonna blow!"Rose said

"We gotta get away from it!"Dax yelled

"Let's toss it!"Mack said

The Megazord shoves the monster away and then kicks out, grabbing onto its neck with a foot-mounted clamp. The Rangers throw a couple of levers, gears squeal, and the Megazord uses its leg to throw the monster through the air. It crashes back to earth and flies apart in a massive explosion.


Back at the base.

Spencer and were watching the rangers battle while they were waiting for the scan to find Jessica.

"They did it, Spencer! They're all right!" said

"Of course, sir. I never doubted it for a minute."Spencer said

But he pats sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief anyway.


With Jessica.

Flurious's friend Norg had Jessica's arm. Flurious had told him not to let her go, on top of that they had handcuffed her hands. Jessica looked around she was scared, she just wanted to see her friend again. Flurious was ahead of Norg and Jessica. She could hear him yelling.

"You useless bag of rocks! You were supposed to get Hartford to find the jewels!"Flurious yelled

"I tried, but those Rangers gave me more trouble than I thought they would!"Moltor said

"Perhaps it would be better if you gave me the crown."Flurious said holding out his hand.

"It will be a cold day in my lava pit when that happens."Moltor

Moltor turns to go with a dismissive snort. Flurious holds out his staff and blasts him. (The blast looks icy, but sets off a fiery explosion.) Moltor goes flying, but blasts back with his forehead-beam. Flurious leaps backwards from the resulting explosion, landing on his feet. Jessica watched the battle, she had to get away. It was the only hope she had for Mack and the others to find her. She knew Moltor and Flurious didn't have a good relationship so with them fighting they would be able to see her run. Now she just had to out smart Norg.

"Um...Norg?"Jessica asked

"Yes?"he asked

"Um...I have to go to the bathroom."

"Oh, well lets find you a spot."

The two walked away from the battle yet Jessica could still hear it. She smirked she limped on her ankle and she sneezed. Finally Norg stopped walking and he said:

"Here you are."

He was smiling which made Jessica feel bad for doing this but she had to get away. Jessica just stood there and Norg looked at her.

"Don't you have to go?"Norg asked

"Yeah, but I'm not going in front of you!"Jessica said

Norg turns around and Jessica goes into the bushes then she took off running. She just had to run until Mr. Hartford found her.


With Moltor and Flurious

Moltor jumps to attack his brother, his two swords against Flurious' staff. They exchange several blows and a few kicks, and then both blast each other in one massive explosion. Both are blown back and land hard on the ground.

"Back-stabber!"Moltor said

"I see how it is now. Brother or no brother, it's every man for himself!"

"Fine!"

Flurious turns around and sees that Jessica and Norg are gone.

"NO!"Flurious shouted.

Moltor looks over at his brother. It then hit Moltor the girl that the red ranger cared for was out of his brothers grasp.

"Lava lizards find that girl!"Moltor shouted

"Chillers find her!"Flurious shouted.


Back at the base.

The rangers were still in their megazord waiting for Jessica's location. Mr. Hartford felt terrible, Jessica was in this postion because of him. Finally a buzzer went off.

"How is that possible?" asked

"What is it sir?"Spencer asked walking over.

"Rangers, Jessica is back on Rotuma Island, she is running from something!" said

"Okay, dad. We will get Jessica then be back in no time."Mack said

watch the teens leave. He couldn't get the fact that Jessica's situation was his fault.

"It's not your fault sir."Spencer said

"Yes, it is Spencer. I have to see that it doesn't happen again." said then left. "Call me when they get Jessica."

"Yes sir."Spencer said


With Jessica.

Jessica was running when a group of Lava Lizards attacked. She ducked under one then kicked another. She ran up a tree then flipped backwards making a lizard run into the tree. She landed on the ground then took off running again. Soon Chillers attacked her.

"Come on!"Jessica shouted.

She felt her ankle burning but she was scared. She heard the Chillers and Lava Lizards behind her. How long had she been running a couple of minutes a couple of hours? Soon she tripped and fell, she turned around and saw a lava lizard and chiller jump up to attack her. Jessica closed her eyes, soon she heard firing. She looked the other way, and saw Rose, Dax, Will, Ronny, and Mack. Rose and Dax took care of the Chillers. Ronny and Will made work of the lava lizards. Mack went to Jessica.

"So it seems you got to keep being the hero."Jessica said

Mack didn't say anything, that made Jessica worry. He helped her to a standing position. She stood on her ankle and winced.

"Are you okay?"Mack asked

"yeah, I think i sprained my ankle or something."Jessica replied

Mack looked down it was defiantly sprained if not broken. It was badly swollen. She had not ankle. Mack looked at Jessica then said:

"Hold your hands out!"

Jessica listened to the red ranger and held her arms out. Mack used his blaster and shot her cuffs off.

"Mack lets get out of here!"Rose said

"Alright. Everyone fall back!"Mack said

The group got back into the megazord and took off. Jessica sat in Mack's lap and laid her head on his shoulder and went to sleep.


Back at the mansion.

The rangers brought Jessica in and Spencer went to work. He wrapped her ankle told them she would have to go to the doctor tomorrow. Spencer then cleaned the dirt and stuff off her face. Jessica woke up and hugged Spencer.

"Good to see you ."Spencer said

Jessica looked around and saw Mack, Rose, Will, Dax, and Ronny. She was so worried that she wasn't going to see these guys again. She felt herself tearing up. Mack walked over and sat beside her.

"Jess?"he asked

She threw herself into his chest and started to cry. The rangers looked at each other, they knew it must have been hard on her. Mack just hugged her and let her cry.

With .

Mack approaches his father's desk, Tracker in hand. Reluctantly he puts it down. Only Andrew's eyes move as he looks at it.

"I get why you don't want me on the team, Dad. And, if you still don't think I should do it, I'll respect your decision."Mack said

Andrew picks it up, leans back in his chair with a sigh, and looks up.

"You really want to be a part of this, don't you?" siad

"More than anything."Mack said

"Well, I guess it's time you started making your own decisions."

He holds out the Tracker, and with a half-uncertain smile Mack takes it.

"I'm still not crazy about the idea. But I won't stop you. I'll have plenty to do here. It's going to take all of our resources to stop them. I hate to admit it, but - you look better in red than I do."Mr. Hartford said

Mack has been smiling more and more as it sinks in, and they both chuckle a little at this.

"Thanks, Dad."Mack said then starts to trot out of the room "Ha, ha, ha, YES!"

Andrew keeps smiling until Mack has left, but then the smile fades into a troubled expression.


Later, in the Overdrive Base,

Mack is getting his DNA enhancer treatment, standing between two glowing bars while squiggles of light crawl over him. (He's dressed all in black, by the way.)

"Your DNA resequencing is now completed, sir."Spencer said

Spencer holds out a uniform jacket just like the other Rangers', but with red trim, and helps him put it on.

"I don't feel any different."Mack said

"Well, it takes a few minutes to kick in."Ronny said

"It's great to have you on the team."Rose said holding out his Tracker

Mack takes the Tracker with a grin

"I can't believe this is really happening."Mack said

Everyone smiles happily as Mack fastens the Tracker in its place on his shoulder. Jessica stood beside Mack and Ronny on crutches. Then he gets a look of confusion on his face, and looks down at himself.

"Hold on."Mack said

He kind of shakes himself a little, and then reaches out to grab Spencer by the collar and lift him into the air one-handed. The butler, instead of strangling, yelps in surprise. The elevator door open and Andrew walks in on this scene.

"When I asked for a raise, this is hardly what I had in mind."Spencer said

Everyone laughs.

"Ya! You can carry me around now Mack!"Jessica said

Mack looked at her.

"I see you've given Mack his enhanced powers." Andrew said Spencer goes 'uh-huh' and nods "You can put Spencer down now."

Mack lowers Spencer to the floor while everyone laughs again.

"Thank you."Spencer said then he goes to stand behind Andrew and lowers his voice

"I had the resequencer calibrated especially for him, sir."

Andrew nods

"Listen up, Rangers. It's time to get to work. Our enemies have the crown, and now they're going to be after the jewels. It's going to be the mission of Operation Overdrive to find them first!"

"Yeah!"Rangers shouted


With Mack on the team what does that mean for his best friend...Lets find out on the next Power Rangers Operation Overdrive.
