A/N: I know, I know. Don't wen say it'll it's been a while. I will try to upset this more though. I promise. Anyways, enjoy!
"Some day fate is beyond our command, but I know better. Our destiny is within us. You just have to be brave enough to see it." -Merida, Brave
A woman's face smiled down at Orion. He looked up at her, but he couldn't place her. She reached out and ran her hand through his stringy hair. He reached out for her, only to discover that his hand was tiny. Really tiny. His fingers wrapped around one of hers and she laughed. She leaned down and kissed his forehead.
Orion opened his eyes as sunlight hit them. He moaned and rolled over on his blankets. He sighed and sat up, gladly the yogurt place didn't open until later. He blinked and sat up as he stretched a little. He frowned as he thought back on the dream. "Who was she?" he wondered. "I've never seen her before in my life." He sighed and crawled out of the spaceship. He stood up and stretched in the morning sunlight. "It's going to be a good day today. I can feel it." He ran his hands over his hair, trying to make it neater. He ducked back inside the ship to grab his apron and hat for work. "Don't want to be late," he mused as he grabbed them. He stepped back out into the day and shut the door to ship. He made sure it was sufficiently hidden, then headed down towards the city.
As he walked he thought back over his dream again. It was so surreal. It felt as if it had happened before. He scoffed and shook his head. No way, he thought. There's no way it could've been real. I would've been a baby if it was, and there's no way I can remember stuff from that long ago. Besides I've never had that dream before. He glanced up at the sky, looking for any signs of the Armada. He felt the familiar pang of worry and regret in his heart when he thought his Dad and Uncle Andros. "I'm going to save them," he reassured himself as he kept walking. "I won't let anything bad happen to them. Troy has already said they'll help me. We'll find a way to get the out safely. We have to."
He thought again about the woman in his dream. He felt like he knew her somehow. "Maybe I saw her in a crowd and my brain is just being weird," he said. "Yeah. I bet that's it. It's gotta be. What else could it be, honestly?" He stopped suddenly when he felt someone watching him. He looked around. "Hello?" he called out. "Who's there?!" He saw a bush move slightly and sighed, claiming his eyes. How cliche can a monster get? he wondered. He raised his hand at the bush and focused all of his mental facilities. A second later he pulled his hand back and someone fell out of the bush. Well, not someone. Two someone's actually. He actually stepped back in shock as the two legendary Rangers stood up and brushed themselves off.
"Should've figured he'd see us," the gold ranger, said brushing dirt off his sleeve.
"You shouldn't have been making so much noise," the silver ranger replied.
Orion smiled when he realized who he was looking at. "I know you guys!"
"Really?" the gold ranger asked him. "Because we've-"
"-never met in person before," the silver ranger finished.
Orion nodded. "True. I guess I should say I've heard of you. You're Gem and Gemma. The gold and silver RPM Rangers!"
"That we are!" Gem smiled.
"Or ate last we were," Gemma supplied.
"What're you guys doing here?" Orion asked.
"Our team has come to this dimension at the request of the Ranger Council," Gem explained. "They've been kind of freaking out."
"Yeah," Gemma agreed. "First the Armada was getting here, and then Eltar sent out a distress signal-"
"Wait, Eltar sent out a distress signal?" Orion asked. This was news to him. The planet was full of power rangers, and its leaders tended to act as if they never needed any help from any kind of an outside source.
"Yup," Gem nodded. "Which why-"
"-we're here!" Gemma finished. "We've come to help. Looks like we should've gotten here sooner though, because the Armada apparently captured two Rangers. Including a fellow Sixth."
Orion nodded sadly, kicking at a stray rock on the path. "Yeah. They have Andros and my dad, Zhane."
"We wish there was something we could do to help," Gem told him.
"Why don't you?!" Orion demanded suddenly. There were tons of power rangers on Earth. Why couldn't a team of them go and save their trapped friends?
"We really wish we could!"
"We really do!" Gemma insisted. "But the council is hesitant to get involved with something they see as being another team's problem."
The megaforce ranger hung his head and nodded. "We can't just leave them there."
"Your team will find a way to rescue them," Gem assured him. "We have faith in you."
Gemma put a hand on his shoulder. "And just because we're not helping directly, doesn't mean we won't help in our own way."
"What're you talking about?"
Gem smiled and out his hand on Orion's other shoulder. "Just remember that the Power will work to help you. You're a Sixth ranger. We've got each other's backs."
"We kind of have to since there's so few of us," Gemma agreed. "Know that the power of the Sixths is always available to you. Together, we'd be unstoppable."
"What're you-" Orion checked the time on Gem's watch and groaned. "I'm going to be late. I have to go! Bye! It was nice to meet you guys!"
"Bye Orion!" Gem and Gemma both yelled as the teen ran off down the path. "May the Power protect you!"
Gem looked at his sister. "You were going to tell him about K's secret project, weren't you?"
Gemma smirked as the two of them started walking in the opposite direction of Orion. "I would do no such thing."
"Good. Because he doesn't have enough power to do something like that."
"He's special," was all Gemma said. "He can do it."
"Whatever you say. Come on, I'll race you!"
"You can race if you want, I'll just win!" Gemma declared as she sprinted off ahead of her brother. He laughed and followed her.
-Silver Legend-
Later that day, Noah sat in the common center watching Tensou work. "Is it finished yet?"
"Almost," Tensou said. "I just have to finish a few things and then activate it and connect it to the Morphing Grid."
"Tensou," Gosei said, making Troy and Emma jump a little bit. "Do not connect it to the Morphing Grid just yet."
"Why not Gosei?" Troy asked their mentor.
"I would like to test Orion to see if he really could have connected his morpher to the morphing grid on his own."
"Why? What's significant about that?" Noah asked.
"To connect a mother to the morphing grid takes a lot of energy. The only way he could have done it was if he has access to large amounts of the Power. I want to see just how powerful he potentially is."
"It's done!" Tensou declared. "All put together and ready to be activated!"
"Emma, Gia, why don't you guys go get Orion?" Troy suggested.
Jake looked up and frowned. "Why them?"
"Aww, are you jealous?" Emma teased, leaning on Jake's shoulders momentarily.
"What?! No..."
Gia smirked. "Don't worry Jake, we won't get lost. We can take care of ourselves."
"Just let them go," Troy said. "It's not something that requires half the team to go."
"Fine," Jake mumbled as the girls left. He leaned on his podium and frowned as jealous bubbled up inside of him.
-Silver Legend-
The doors to the main cockpit of the main ship in the armada opened and Prince Vekar waltzed in, obviously in a good mood. "I am a genius!" he declared. "Something none of you will ever be!"
Levira, who had her back turned to the prince, rolled her eyes. Yes, he's the genius, she thought. It's not like I'm the evil scientists from the Emperor's imperial labs or anything. Damaras though, wasn't as good at hiding his skepticism, which considering his rank in Emperor's army was surprising. "Did you say...genius?" he questioned the prince.
Vekar frowned and got closer to Damaras. "Did I say you could speak, no? Now go make yourself useful and get the prisoners! I have use for them!"
"Yes your highness," Damaras replied bowing.
"Please welcome to the team," Vekar began. "Kelltox!"
"It's Skeltox your highness!" the field general who entered said. Damaras left just before the door shut.
"Humph," Levira scoffed, walking close to the new recruit. "More like Smell-tox. What is it exactly that you do?" She eyed the weapon was he carrying critically.
"He steals energy from humans," Argus explained.
"That's it!" Levira demanded.
"You'll thank me later," Vekar told her. "You'll see how effective this is when Damras gets back."
Meanwhile, Andros woke with a start when he heard footsteps coming towards them. He shook Zhane gently. "Zhane," he said quietly. "Zhane, wake up."
"Hmm?" Zhane asked drowsily. "Wha-"
"Just get behind me." Andros stood up and Zhane followed unsteadily. As they heard the lock being undone, Andros moved Zhane behind himself.
"Let's go!" Damaras told them.
"What if we don't?" Andros challenged. It was getting exhausting to be so defiant.
"You won't like the answer. Just do it! Now!" The X-Borgs with him went in and dragged both the prisoners out. Zhane let out a gasp of pain as they pulled him.
"Hey!" Andros said as he was pulled down the hall, following Damaras. "Don't hurt him!"
"I'm ok!" Zhane tried to reassure his friend.
Doubt it, Andros thought. He sighed inwardly as they brought into the main cockpit. They stood side-by-side when finally released. The red ranger saw Skeltox and smirked. "Who's the ugly one?"
"You mean the prince or the fish-guy?" Zhane asked him. He laughed and was rewarded with a hit to the back of the head from an X-Borg. Worth it, he thought.
"Quiet you two," Vekar told them. "Skeltox, demonstrate your power on these two."
"Of course Prince Vekar." Skeltox stepped in front of the two prisoners and raised his pole. Andros and Zhane tensed, waiting for whatever was coming.
"Wait!" Levira interrupted.
"What is it?!" Vekar demanded impatiently.
"One of those prisoners is very useful to me," the scientist explained. "I won't allow you to hinder my scientific investigation."
"You can't tell me what to do!"
"You have another prisoner you can test this power one. Just not the one I'm using to get information from."
"Hm...very well," Vekar nodded. He pointed at some X-Borgs. "Remove Levira's lab rat."
"Lab rat?!" Zhane demanded as the aliens grabbed him and dragged him away form Andros and out of the line of fire. "Andros!"
"Don't worry Zhane," his best friend fiend assured him. "I'll be ok."
"Now, proceed!" Vekar commanded.
"Yes your highness," Skeltox replied. He raised his pole again and brought it down like a fisherman casting his line. A line of blue energy appeared and hooked it self into Andros. The alien gave the line a tug and pulled something's out of him. Whatever it was had a blue color to it, and Skeltox caught it in his fish. "Tada!"
Andros suddenly stumbled and slumped forward. He hit the ground and Zhane tried to get to him. "Andros!" he yelled as the X-Borgs held him back. "What did you do to him?!"
"I took away his energy!" Skeltox explained. "And once all the humans on Earth have been drained of their energy, it shall be easy for the Armada to take over!"
"Excellent!" Vekar nodded. "X-Borgs, take the prisoners back. Skeltox, go to Earth and start stealing energy!"
"Yes your highness!"
Zhane struggled as he was once again, forcefully pulled from the room. Some of the X-Borgs grabbed Andros and dragged him out. The silver ranger tried to get away, but the side-to-side movement of his struggles only put him in more pain. They were put back in their cell and he knelt beside his friend in the cramped space. "Andros? Andros, you ok?"
"Mh..." Andros moaned as he lay on the ground. His eyes slid shut and Zhane sighed.
"Whatever that monster did, I hope the megaforce Rangers can reverse it."

Emma and Gia smiled at each other as they walked into the mall. They made a beeline for Ernie's. Wanting to surprise Orion, and not be seen ditching school by Ernie himself, they peeked in to see if he was there. Emma giggled when she saw him. "Psst!" she hissed. "Psst!
Gia never thought that Orion would be able to hear her, but sure enough he looked up. Gia pointed at her watch then at the door. Orion nodded in understanding and took his apron off. "Uh Ernie," he said as he grabbed his silver jacket. "I'm going to take a break. See you in half an hour."
"Ok," Ernie relied, not looking up from the table he was wiping down. Orion smiled at the girls as he pulled his jacket on and followed them out the door.
-Silver Legend-
Troy, Jake, and Noah all stood around Tensou, admiring his handy work. "It looks great," the red ranger complimented.
"Yes," Gosei agreed. "Tensou has been working very hard. Now all we need is for Orion to activate it."
"Here we are!" Gia announced, more alerting the others to their presence than anything else. The boys all stood up and turn around as Orion walked in with the girls. He hesitated a little, wondering why they were having a team meeting during school hours. "Come on," the yellow ranger smiled. Emma gave him a small wave to keep him coming.
"Just in time," Troy smiled as they approached. Orion have him a look of slight confusion.
"Tensou," Noah said. "Bring it over."
The little robot rolled out from behind the boys and up to Orion. The silver ranger eyes the yellow belt-like object around his neck. "What's going on?" he asked, starting form an idea of what might be happening. All the Rangers shared a look and a smile that told Orion they knew exactly what was going on. Troy bent down and picked up the object. "What is this?"
Tory held the object out to their new teammate. Orion took it hesitantly, stating to feel elated. "Go on!" Noah encouraged him. "Try it on!"
Orion carefully put the belt around his waist. As soon as he secured it light flashes to life in the lines in it. He quickly played with his jacket to hide his surprise. It was like he'd just activated it. But shouldn't they have already activated it? he wondered.
Troy meanwhile smiled like all the others, but inside his mind was reeling. He activated it. Just like he said he did with his morpher. I never seen anything like that. Maybe Gosei really is right. Something is going on with Orion.
"Orion," Gosei said. "You now have access to all the sixth ranger keys. It's time to take a your power to a whole new level. The armada is only getting stronger. So as a team, expect the unexpected, and may the power protect you."
"Thank you Gosei," Orion replied, truly honored the team had accepted him like this. It was everything he'd always dreamed of and more. Jake nodded and turned around, then stopped dead. He stared at Gia as she smiled at their newest member. "I will not let you down."
The green ranger glanced around, starting to feel that jealousy from before come back with a vengeance.
-Silver Legend-
Meanwhile, in the downtown area of Angel Grove, Skeltox stood on top of building with some X-Borgs. "Yippee!" the alien cheered as he remembered how well the demonstration on Vekar's ship had gone. "Where shall I cast off next?" He smiled with evil glee and brought his "pole" back and cats off his green energy string. He happened to hit a man was cycling up a hill. The energy string hit the man and pulled want looked like a ghost copy of him out.
The man, TJ, then laid got off his bike and laid down as all energy left his body. All the while unaware that his unconsciousness was much more pea fully achieved than by a certain friend of his. With that energy secured, Skeltox then cast off again. This time he hit a kid who was doing homework. The green string pulled the ghost figure that looked like that boy out of him as well. The boy yawned and got up.
"It's too hard," he decided as he did. "I'll sleep on it." He laid down on his bed and was unconscious in seconds.
-Silver Legend-
Back in the command center, Troy put aside his uneasiness about Orion and reached out to put his hand on the silver ranger's shoulder. "Welcome officially to the team." Orion smiled at him happily and Tory couldn't help but feel worry. According to Gosei, whatever was going on here, Orion was not an aware and willing participant. The red ranger was convinced he meant no harm, but he worried about the silver ranger's safety more than anything. Unaware of their leader's thoughts, the other Rangers agreed and cheered for Orion. Their celebrating was cut short by at alerting going off on one of the podiums.
Tensou rolled over to it and lifted his head up to see it. "Oh my! I'm picking up energy spikes in multiple locations!"
"Ok," Tory said, slipping effortlessly and fully into 'leader mode' with practiced ease. "Let's split up into groups and track them down. Noah, Gia, you'll be one group. Emma, you're with me. Jake, you take Orion. Be his mentor for the day." He turned his head and completely missed the look on Jake's face.
Great, the green ranger thought. Just freaking great.
"Cool?" Tory asked.
"Got it!" Orion said as the others headed out. Jake didn't move and Orion looked at him. "Shall we?"
Jake nodded tensely. "Yeah come on." He ran out, not bothering to check if the silver ranger was keeping up with him or not.
-Silver Legend-
Meanwhile, Skeltox was casting off again, this time hitting Ernie.
"And for Madame?" the man asked, taking frozen yogurt orders. He was hit with the string and suddenly stood up, becoming more tense. When his energy was pulled out, he untied his apron. He the set said apron down on the table and sat down on the long booth seat. "Help yourself," he smiled as he passed out. His head leaned right in the lap of the girl next to him, who looked understandably shocked about the turn of events.
Meanwhile, Troy and Emma arrived at the first location of an energy spike. The red r a her saw a man lying on the ground and automatically fared he worst. "Over there!" He and Emma knelt down beside the man and looked over him quickly. "He's still breathing," Troy said, relieved.
"He's unconscious," Emma said as TJ rolled over in his sleep a little bit. "But I think he'll be ok here. Let's go!" The two do them got up and ran to check another one.
Noah and Gia meanwhile, arrived at the beach to check on an energy spike themselves. The blue ranger took out his Gosei morpher and checked it. "Tensou picked up an energy signal in this area."
Gia looked around the apparently deserted stretch of beach in frustration. "There has to be something around here somewhere! Come on!"
Jake and Orion arrived at their first location,noisy in time to see a strange green string descend upon an unsuspecting woman. It entered her body and pulled out the ghost version of her. She dropped her bag and stumbled as the two Rangers ran froward. Orion caught she as she started to pass out.
"Excuse me," Jake said, "are you ok?" X-Borgs suddenly appeared, almost out of nowhere, and ran at the Rangers and unconscious civilian. "Get her someplace safe." Orion nodded and picked up the woman easily while Jake went to meet their enemies. "It's morphin' time!" He pulled out his Gosei morpher and put the card in. "GO, GO, MEGAFORCE!" He morphed and and didn't even hesitate to jumbos into the fray. He punched and kicked at the foot soldiers. He grabbed one and spun around, bringing it to the ground. He tuned and punched above the, then kicked a third.
Orion meanwhile, set the woman down out of harms way. He ran back to Jake, who regrouped with him. "Let's power up!" the black ranger said.
Orion nodded and grabbed his morphed as Jake grabbed his second one. They grabbed their keys as well and Orion put his in his morpher. Jake flipped his over and inserted the key part. "SUPER MEGA MODE!" they both shouted as Orion pushed a button on his morpher and Jake turned the key in his.
"Super Megaforce, silver!" Orion yelled.
"Super Megaforce, green!" Jake yelled.
The two of them attacked the X-Borgs. Jake flipped over one, then swept the feet from under another one. He turned and punched a different one and kicked another. He landed another punch and kicked a weapon away. Orion took the other half and was jumping and kicking all leg the place. He kicked three, then ran towards another small group and jumped. He kicked three right in the chest and sent them to the ground. Jake also kicked on, then looked up. He gasped. "Look!" he yelled pointing to the top of a building. "Up there!"
Skeltox chuckled. "Soon I will be unstoppable! The more energy I collect, the more powerful I become!"
"Tensou!" Jake said, contacting the command center through his super morpher. "We found them, send the others!" He and Orion summoned grappling hooks, grateful that the whole apparent pirate motif their suits had. The two of them swung up the roof top and jumps the railing at the top.
Well, Orion did, yelling, "Not so fast!" as he did.
Jake meanwhile got his foot caught on the railing and fell on his face as he landed. "I meant to do that!" he declared as Orion started to fight the X-Borgs. Jake saw this and scowled. "Oh great!" He quickly had to roll away as X-Borgs attacked him.
Orion slashed left and right with his trident. "Super silver trident!" He left the usual silver trails of light in his wake from the power. He kicked one away and continued to take them out.
Jake saw this and grew even more angry. An X-Borg grabbed him, much to the green ranger's annoyance. "Hey! Get! Off! Me!" He hit the foot soldier in the head with every word. He tried to get to Orion to try and out do him. Two more X-Borgs put their weapons out to stop him. Jake hit their weapons with his own and tried to take Orion down a few pegs. "Pretty good. But let me show you how it's done." As he said it, an X-Borg snuck up behind him and hit him on the the head. The helmet protected him from the blow, but he knew it didn't look good. "Get off me!" he yelled, slashing at it with his saber. The others around him, suddenly converged, making him drop his saber in shock. "Whoa! Whoa! Hey you guys back off too!" he yelled as they threw him off the side of the building. He quickly grabbed the railing of a balcony and pulled himself up. "Oh that was close." He ducked as an X-Borg swung its weapon at him. He ran along the ledge, using the railing to keep himself up.
X-Borgs swung their weapons at him and he stepped back. Unfortunately he dog got that he was standing on the ledge and fell. "Whoa!" he yelled as he grabbed it with his hands. The aliens hit and him and finally one shot his hands with it's blaster. He fell and hit a roof just below him, cushioning his fall slightly. "Man this day is not going well," he moaned after he hit the ground. He sat up as more X-Borgs surrounded him. "Ah!" He flinched back as one swung it's weapon at him. Suddenly, a trident dropped out of the sky and took it out. Jake looked up as Orion fell from the sky, leaning nimbly on his feet.
"Don't worry Jake!" the silver ranger assured his friend, pulling his trident out of the defeated alien. "I've got your back." He swung his trident and took out a couple of X-Borgs. He then spun in a larger circle and the silver light he left in his wake took out the rest of them. "You ok?"
"Fine!" Jake snapped, growing more irritated with his new teammate by the second. "Of course I am," he muttered under his breath as he got up. "Mr. Perfect saved me."
"Guys!" Troy yelled as he and the other Rangers arrived. "Sorry we're late. What's the situation?"
"For you?" Skeltox asked, coming out with more X-Borgs. "Two words: Game over!"
"Ok first," Gia said stepping forward. "What's that smell? Second, let's go legendary."
"Good idea," Orion nodded form behind them. "This guy's much tougher than he looks."
"Legendary Ranger Mode!" the five Megaforce Rangers shouted. "RPM, GET IN GEAR!" They morphed into their RPM modes and attacked the alien. "Full throttle!"
"Go for it guys!" Orion watched as they attacked the X-Borgs at lighting fast speeds. It amazed him how well they could use the powers of their teams. "Amazing! Now it's my turn to go legendary! RPM sixth ranger power!" He summoned a key the way he had before, but this time it appeared through his new belt. "Cool! Another silver key!" He smiled as he pulled out Gemma's key. His belt flipped open again and he pulled out the RPM gold ranger key
"Wait, RPM had two sixth Rangers! I forgot!"
"Orion!" Noah yelled, keeping a weapon away from his face. "We need you help!"
"Morph already!" Tory shouted.
"Uh! But to which one?!" Orion asked.
"So, it's time to fillet you all!" Skeltox smiled.
Orion closed his eyes and channeled, energy into both of them, thinking that it would help him chose the bets one. He suddenly felt a strange feeling come over him and a blinding white light hit his eyes. He opens them and looked around. "What? Where am I?" He wondered, looking around the white space. He saw two people with their backs turned to him. "Um-" they tuned around and he smiled. "It's you two!"
"Yes, it's us," Gemma told him in her morphed form. "RPM Silver, and RPM gold."
"But, which one should I use in battle?"
"You don't have to," Gem said. "Your channeling of the power into us has given you the answer."
"What'd you mean?"
"Just watch," Gemma replied. She and Gem face each other and clasped one hand to the other. They created a blinding light and Orion was forced to shut his eyes again. When he opened them, he was back in the battle.
"Orion!" Jake yelled, starting to get overpowered. "Stop ,easing around and help us!"
"You won't believe what just happened to me!" Orion told them excitedly. He looked down in his hands and gasped. "No way!" He held a key that was RPM gold on one side and RPM silver in the other side. I can't wait to see what this key can do!" He flipped his morpher open and placed the key inside. "Time to go legendary! RPM, GET IN GEAR!"
"Huh?" Emma asked, looking over at him.
"What?!" Jake snapped angrily.
"Impossible!" Noah smiled.
"Nice!" Troy compiled.
"Wow!" Gia gushed.
"He actually fused RPM silver and gold together," Emma said as literally every everyone stopped fighting to stare at Orion.
The silver ranger was now morphed into a half silver, half gold ranger. "Sorry for the wait!" he told his friends. "But now it's showtime! RPM, silver and RPM gold, ready for action! And now I have two cloud hatchets! Which means double the trouble!" He took the weapons and held them by his sides. "Lift off!" He flew through the air and at the aliens. He started taking them out. Unknown to the Rangers, two observers of the battle grinned at each other.
"He just-" Gem began.
"Fused our powers!" Gemma finished.
"Maybe he can access K's theory."
Meanwhile, Orion just finished taking out the X-Borgs single-handedly. "Oh come on," Jake sighed from the ground as the silver ranger landed on the ground without a scratch on him. Orion attacked Skeltox next, but the alien blocked the cloud hatchets with his pole.
"Without that fancy suit," Skeltox said as he blocked Orion's shots. "I bet you're nothing!"
"Good thing I have it on then!" Orion laughed as he kicked the alien.
"Whoa!" Noah smiled.
"He's a great addition to the team," Troy nodded.
"Exactly! He's amazing!" Gia agreed, running forward.
Jake felt his jealousy grow even deeper. "Great," he muttered. "Mr. Impressive just got even more impressive!" He started to claw at his leg in irritation.
Orion swung at Skeltox again, only to have his weapons blocked. Skeltox raised his dead fish. "Take a whiff of this!" he shouted as he blasted Orion. The silver ranger was thrown into the side of the nearby building.
"Orion!" Emma yelled. Skeltox turned and shot at the Rangers next. All except for Jake dodged to the side. The blast landed just short of the green ranger; making him stumble back. "Jake! Get down!" Emma yelled as Skeltox fired again. She got hit and yelled out in pain.
"Em!" Jake said, guilt flooding him. "I-I'm sorry! I just froze up!"
"I guess it's true what they say!" Skeltox laughed as he pulled out his pole. "There's plenty of fish in the see!" He cast his light string and it split into four parts. They hit Troy, Noah, Emma, and Gia.
"No!" Orion shouted as ghost versions of them were pulled out. They all de-morphed and dropped to the ground, except for Troy. The red ranger blinked and started to take his jacket off.
"So tired," he mumbled. "I'm going to take a nap." He laid down on the ground and used his leather jacket as a pillow.
"What've you done to them?!" Orion demanded, attacking Skeltox. He was knocked back and the alien laughed.
"Time to go fishing for humans!" Skeltox smiled. "Bye-bye!"
"Hey, wait, come back! I'm not down with you!" Orion shouted as the alien teleported away. He moaned and sighed. He turned back to the others and checked each of them. "We need to get them to the command center!" he told Jake. "Right now!"
The green ranger sighed. "If I hadn't of froze this wouldn't have happened!" The gran ranger moaned as guilt filled him. What are we going to do?!
