The Rangers landed in Silver Hills. Without much power on the ship to keep it anchored over Harwood City, the large Zord had strayed during the night. It made it harder to locate Tensou, as he could have wondered off at any point over the night, but the Rangers could only start with where they were currently positioned.

Tensou was a robot. He couldn't exactly blend in. If someone saw him, they were sure to report him, especially in this time of war. However, Tensou had not made the news. There were no articles or stories about a weird little robot roaming around town. It made the Ranger's job of finding him a lot more difficult.

They were left with no choice but to split up. Silver Hills was far from Harwood County and the Rangers didn't have the luxury of time on their side. At any moment, Vrak or Vekar could figure out their absence and take advantage to attack the city. And without the power restored on the ship, a lot of the Ranger tech was also down. They could morph and summon their weapons, but that was about it.

Rebecca and Emma took the western part of the city. They were to do all they could to find the little robot without making themselves stand out. Emma, especially, was known in this city to be Princess Emma and was wanted for treason and murder. Anyone who recognised her could easily turn her in. Fortunately, by sticking close to Rebecca, everyone was most likely to notice the blind girl over the one helping her to navigate. It took a little pressure off Emma, but she still needed to be cautious.

In the northern part of the city, Troy had taken Ryan for a walk. It wasn't ideal for him to be on his own with the baby, but he didn't think he would draw a lot of attention to himself. People noticed him just enough to smile at how sweet it was to see a teenage boy caring for a young girl, but not enough to assume he was a Ranger, that he was supposed to be dead, or that he was a mission to find his missing robot friend.

On the opposite end of town, Orion and Noah were working together. They searched high and low for the missing Tensou. Orion didn't have to worry much about being spotted. No one on Earth knew who he was. Noah had to keep a low profile, but had been doing that for most of his life anyways. He never liked to be the center of attention and preferred to let his work speak for him. Fortunately, no one seemed to care too much about the two boys walking around. They were all too busy with their own business.

In the east, Jake and Gia were doing their best to blend in. No one was able to recognize them. It didn't seem news of any of the Rangers' deaths had really spread as far out as Silver Hills. However, there was no being too careful. Tiger, though, was the biggest concern. While her costume covered up most of her black and orange striped fur, she was still much too big to be an ordinary cat and the fact that she was being walked on a leash did attract some stares. Fortunately, most people seemed to leave it alone.

"What's so special about Silver Hills, again?" Jake asked while Gia quickly glanced down an alleyway for any sign of Tensou. When it didn't look like there was anywhere for him to hide, she continued to walk down the sidewalk with Jake and Tiger.

"Noah said it was home to the Time Force Rangers."

"Time Force," Jake said with a little smile, "The Rangers from the future, right?"

"You have been studying Ranger history," Gia smirked. Jake shrugged his shoulders.

"When you aren't talking to me I get kind of bored," he answered.

"Maybe we should break up more often. It smartens you up."

"Please don't," Jake begged her. "I've learned enough in these last few days. Trust me."

"Alright then, smart guy. Why don't you tell me a little more about Time Force? If you've learned so much."

"Oh... um... Well, they are Rangers from the future."

"Yeah."

"Um... they came back in time to... um... fight monsters."

"Seriously? You don't even know what type of monsters?"

"My brain doesn't remember everything like yours," Jake rolled his eyes. "Alright, miss knows-it-all. Why don't you tell me about Time Force?"

"They were Rangers from the year three thousand. They were law enforcement officers from the Time Force organization that chased down criminals from the future to prevent changes being made in the past. Which, as we know, would..."

"Um... screw up the future?"

"Good job," Gia smiled and pet Jake's head. He crossed his arms and frowned.

"If you're going to treat me like a puppy in training, at least reward me with treats," he said and then pointed to the ice-cream shop on the corner. Gia shook her head.

"We've got a robot to find."

"Looking makes me hungry," Jake said. Gia sighed and then gestured to Jake that it was okay to stop for a snack. He checked his bag for his wallet but then remembered he had forgotten to take it when he left the ship. He shrugged his shoulders.

"Um... can I borrow five bucks?"

"Seriously?"

"I'll pay you back."

"You still own me ten bucks from the last time you forgot your wallet," Gia told him, but still reached into her bag to give him the money. Jake thanked her with a kiss on the cheek and ran off to buy himself a cone while Gia took a rest on a bus bench. She sat down next to a man who was working on his phone. Just as she was comfortable, the man shifted and very subtly pointed to Tiger.

"It's shameful to dress up animals," he said. "You realize you're humiliating your pet, right?"

Gia frowned when she heard the comment and turned to the man. He was dressed up in uniform and looked like he belonged to some kind of army. She didn't recognize his uniform right away, but then remembered some of the flyers she had seen posted on the wall of the library. The Rangers had gone there to get access to a computer. Without power on the ship, they couldn't check the latest headlines to see if Tensou had been spotted.

The man's uniform was similar to the one of the Silver Guardians. They were an organisation that, at one time, had protected the wealthy from the mutants that had attacked the city. Eventually, they shifted their policy and started to defend the entire city, completely free of charge, against crimes. They were, in Gia's eyes, an over glorified police force.

"Just like with babies, people don't like being told how to raise their pets," Gia told the Silver Guardian. "You have no idea why I've decided to dress up my cat."

"You've dressed her up as a Power Ranger. My guess is you're a fan."

"Something like that," Gia nodded.

"You're projecting your fantasy of being a Ranger onto your pet."

"You think I fantasize about being a Ranger?" Gia scoffed. The Silver Guardian shrugged his shoulders.

"If the shoe fits. Although, you know what's most humiliating about your cat's costume?"

"I'll bet you'll tell me."

"The team you choose. Pirates? Seriously? Are those Rangers all six?"

"And what's wrong with the Pirate theme?" Gia asked him, turning to face him. She saw the man had a confident, arrogant smirk on his lips. It was very similar to the one she wore whenever she was teasing Jordan. The only difference was, whenever she teased Jordan, it was fun.

This guy was just being an asshole for the hell of it.

"Like I said, pirates are for pussies."

"Then I guess it's a good thing I've dressed up my cat," Gia retorted. The man chuckled.

"Touché. Still, those new guys are... well, at least they get the job done. If you want a real Ranger team to root for, our team's the way to go."

"You mean the Time Force Rangers?"

"So you do know about them? I figured you'd have still been in diapers when they were around."

"Actually, I had just turned four the first time I heard about them," Gia said. "It was a chilly day, but I didn't mind. My parents had promised to take my best friend and me sledding."

"You remember all that?"

"I remember a lot," Gia nodded. "Though, I don't ever remember Time Force Rangers being as great as you claim them to be. They were good, but great... probably not. Not to mention, the Megaforce Rangers have the power to turn into any team of their choosing. They have all the powers of every former..."

"Because they need it," the man chuckled condescendingly. "You may be smart, kid, but you've still got a lot to learn when it comes to being a Ranger."

At that moment, a car pulled up on the side of the road. The window rolled down and another man, dressed in a similar Silver Guardian uniform, leaned over.

"Eric, you coming?"

"I've got to go," the man, Eric, said to Gia. He stood up, opened the passenger door and then he turned back to Gia. He still wore that smirk that, for some reason, made Gia dislike him more than she should have. "I'll be at HQ. Stop by if you ever want to hear what a real Ranger team sounds like."

Gia clenched her teeth as she watched the man drive off with his co-worker. Tiger rubbed against her legs to try and calm her while Jake took the seat next to her, completely obviously to everything as he ate his ice-cream.

"Well, Tensou wasn't by the ice-cream stand," he said. "Maybe he got hungry though. I hear there's an excellent hot dog stand just down the street."

"You're eating. How can you possibly be thinking about food?" Gia asked him. Jake shrugged.

"Hollow leg. That's what mom always used to say."

"You forgot, Tensou doesn't eat."

"Maybe he's curious?"

Gia shook her head. "Let's keep looking."
