The reaction of the Cogs to the appearance of the Zeo Rangers was instance, a full out charge against them to take the rangers out.

"You know what to do rangers!" Conner stated charging forward as well.

Kira and Ethan followed and the three Zeo rangers started to hold off the Cogs. It felt different to them, using the Zeo powers, fighting Cogs instead of Tyrannodrones, but overall it was so familiar to them. Sparks flew from the foot soldiers from where the rangers hit them and Cassidy and Devin watched in awe as their friends fought.

"Oh wow," Cassidy whispered, "we're going to be doing that?"

Devin nodded numbly and flinched as one of the Cogs landed on the ground next to them.

"Maybe we should move somewhere safe," she offered looking at her boyfriend.

A scream caught their attention and they spun around to see a scared girl running from a pursuing Cog. Devin, without thinking, rushed forward and knocked the Cog away, Cassidy following after him and stopping at the girl.

"Did that thing hurt you?" Cassidy asked kneeling down to look at her.

"No but thank you for saving me," the girl replied hugging her.

Cassidy hurried the girl away, watching as the girl's mother found her. She looked back towards the Cogs and was shocked to see Devin still fighting, her once kinda scrawny boyfriend managing to do fairly well.

"Piss off!" Devin barked as he kicked one of the Cogs down.

"Devin!" Cassidy called out running over to him, "are you hurt?"

"I… I'm surprisingly fine actually," Devin remarked, "I'm not going to lie that felt pretty good."

"It looked like it," she observed looking him over.

More Cogs showed and and the two took a couple steps to back away from them.

"And it looks like I'm going to get to try as well."

Without hesitation the Cogs attacked the two, this time Cassidy, while giving a bit of a yelp, joining the fray. Compared to the rangers though Cassidy and Devin, while managing to hold their own, were struggling to fight the mechanical foot soldiers. Cassidy herself wasn't much of a fighter and it showed as the Cogs pushed her around and while Devin was a touch better he still found the Cogs to be stronger than him. A quick strike to his gut and he was on his knee, swinging his arms up to block an incoming attack. Cassidy groaned as her feet were swept out from under her, Cassidy's back hitting the ground in front of the Cog. Looking up she saw that the Cog was about to attack and she yelped again, rolling out of the way just in time to avoid the attack.

"Whoa Cassidy!" Devin said helping her up.

"Oh wow my head is ringing," she groaned shaking her head, "This isn't going to be as easy as I thought."

"You're telling me…"

Devin looked over at the three rangers and same how easily fighting came to them and then looked down at the morpher on his wrist.

"But maybe it can be easier."

"What do you...OH!" Cassidy remarked as realization dawned on her.

"Let's do what they did," Devin suggested holding up his right wrist.

"I'm right behind you."

"It's Morphin Time!"

"ZEO RANGER II, YELLOW!"

"ZEO RANGER IV, GREEN!"

The Cogs they were fighting took a step back at the sight of the two rangers, both of them looking at their new form in awe.

"Oh man I feel powerful!" Devin declared clenching his fist.

"So this is what it feels like to be a ranger," Cassidy remarked looking over her new suit.

"Guys focus!" they heard Conner call out to them.

Slashing a Cog with energy around his hand Conner spun around and looked at them, the red ranger emitting a presence of leadership.

"We need to take these Cogs out before anyone gets seriously hurt," he reminded them, Cassidy and Devin nodding.

The team moved fast, Cassidy quickly teaming up with Kira while Devin went over to Ethan. Zeo I leaped through the air, performing a backflip while doing so, and landed next to Zeo II, holding out her hand to her.

"Care to dance?"

"Wait what?" Cassidy asked confused.

"Just take a hold of my hand and don't let go okay," the pink ranger explained.

Cassidy, while still confused, took a hold of Kira's hand and found herself being lifted up and spun around. She saw the Cogs around them and started to kick out towards them, each hit landing on it's its intended target.

"Whoa that was weird," three yellow ranger remarked as she landed, "it's it always like this?"

"More or less," the pink ranger shrugged.

"And my body it feels like it's moving on its own."

"Yeah that happens when you morph your instincts kick into overdrive," Kira explained, "now then let's get back to business!"

"Right," Cassidy replied excitedly.

The two turned around and did a series of backflips through the group of Cogs, moving with enough speed that the Cogs managed to hit each other instead of them.

"Zeo Power Pod Sword!" Kira called out, pulling out the weapon.

"Zeo Laser Pistol!" Cassidy followed drawing the gun.

Cassidy fired the pistol as Kira ran back towards the Cogs, slashing them as she passed by. With the Cogs either being slashed at of shot they were swiftly defeated and Cassidy put up her weapon before running over to Kira and high fiving her.

"That was awesome Kira!"

"Thanks now come on there's still more Cogs to take care of," Kira remarked as the two ran off.

Devin rolled across the back of one of the Cogs as it attacked him, kicking another one and knocking it over to Ethan, the blue ranger clotheslining it. Interlocking his fingers Ethan kneeled down and Devin ran over to him, stepping into his hand and getting launched into the air, kicking a jumping Cog and landing. Spinning around Devin pulled out his Power Pod Sword and blocked the next foot soldier.

"Not today robot."

Zeo IV pushed him away and the lashed out, striking the Cog and defeating it as Ethan jumped over him and fired with his Laser Pistol.

"Alright!" Devin cheered, not seeing the other Cogs behind him.

"Huh? Watch out!" Ethan called out, directing his weapon at them.

Devin jumped out of the way and Ethan fired at them, knocking them down and defeating them.

"Oops uh...sorry dude," Devin apologized sheepishly.

"Yeah you're going to want to watch out for things like that," Ethan explained, "hey but other then that you're doing pretty good for your first time."

"Thanks man," Devin grinned looking over at Conner, Kira and Cassidy joining the two of them, "Should we go help him now?"

Kira and Ethan looked at each other and then to the rookies, Ethan shaking his head.

"Nah let him blow off some steam."

Conner leaned away from one of the Cogs, avoiding their attack and retaliating with a quick strike to the shoulder. Stumbling backwards the Cog was caught by its comrades and pushed back up to stand in front of them. Conner's eyes narrowed as he realized they were, amusingly enough, stacked like bowling pins.

"Bad idea bolt heads," he grinned clenching his fist, "Zeo Power Punch!"

His fist glowing Conner struck the Cog in the front of the group and knocked him back into the others, a bowling pin effect toppling them all to the ground. Spinning around the red ranger spotted some more Cogs and held out his hand, a flash of red energy forming into a sword.

"Zeo Power Sword!"

"Whoa!" Devin remarked seeing the sword.

"Now that's cool," Cassidy clapped her hands together watching the red ranger.

"It gets even better," Ethan promised them, giving the two a thumbs up.

"Huh?"

"Shall we?" the blue ranger asked pink.

"Let's do it," Kira agreed.

"Zeo Power Disc!"

"Zeo Power Axes!"

The weapons appeared in their hands, Zeo II and IV looking at each other and nodding.

"Zeo Power Double Club!"

"Zeo Power Hatchets!"

The four joined their leader to fight off the rest of the Cogs attacking Reefside all the while up on the moon Mondo watching in anger.

"What is this, the Zeo rangers are all here imprisoned," Machina stomped her foot on the ground as she watched their Cogs get destroyed.

"I'm not sure but a new set of Zeo rangers would only cause us trouble until we can fully equipt our army," Mondo huffed hearing a chuckle behind him.

"You wouldn't be able to take the Earth even if you got rid of us Mondo," Tommy remarked leaning against the glass of his cage, "the Earth is filled with more rangers then you could ever hope to stand up against."

"So full of confidence Tommy but I'll see that smirk wiped from your face if it's the last thing I do," Mondo promised walking over to him, "mark my words."

"You might want to watch out Mondo," Jason warned looking at the king, "the guy in red has as bad of an anger problem as both me and Tommy, he's not going to take us being taken lightly."

"Empty word," the king scoffed turning away, "those Zeo fakes are nothing more then wannabes, thinking they can save the world simply because they look like rangers, but one monster will show them they're wrong."

"My king are you sure that is wise, wasting resources to create a monster when we could use it to build our army?" Machina asked hesitantly.

"Father, mother is right allow me to head down there and finish these rangers off it shouldn't take me but a moment," Gasket offered.

"No we'll create a monster to show the rangers just how weak they are," Mondo said with some finality, "I want them to suffer for thinking they could beat me."

"Allow me then I haven't created a monster before but I'm willing to try," Archerina bowed, walking over to a nearby computer, "I believe I saw an interesting program on this…"

A few tap of the keys and the screen showed a figure who looked to have a knight like appearance and a cannon for a chest. A few more swipes and a hole opened up in the middle of the room, steam billowing out with the sound of mechanical whirling. From the steam the figure came up and his red eyes flashed as he activated.

"Alright Cannon Knight is ready to knock some castles down!" he bellowed swinging his arm in a circle.

"Ah Cannon Knight," Mondo stated stepping forward, "as you can see we have a situation, head to the Earth and destroy those fake rangers to prove a point."

"You got it your highness leave it to me," Cannon Knight said vanishing with the sound of cannonballs hitting the ground.

"Those rangers will be the first to show the world that I'm not messing around," Mondo informed the captive rangers, "now watch Tommy as they're destroyed by the restored Machine Empire."

Tommy clenched his fist as Mondo turned his back to him before looking over at Jason who nodded to him.

"Come on Conner prove to these idiots what you can do," he whispered watching the Zeo rangers.
