Garnavax groaned groggily.
"Hoodtrot! Get in here!" He shouted.
The powered up creature slid into view.
"Yes master?" He asked.
"Prepare to attack the city,"
"Yes sir!" Hoodtrot saluted.
Hoodtrot quickly scrambled out of the captains quarters. Not long after another monster entered.
"What do you want Rage?" Garnavax said.
"I have a plan to get the Rangers to turn on one another!"
"I don't care, go with Hoodtrot and get it done!" Garnavax commanded.
"At once," Rage said stepping out.

Brandon was at his locker looking for his geometry textbook.
"Now where is it..." He mumbled.
From his left came a boy, at least six feet in height with ash blonde hair.
He stopped at Brandon's locker and adjusted his varisty jacket.
"So do you have my Chemistry homework?"
He said leaning on the locker next to him.
"Right here Chase," Brandon said handing it to him without even looking.
The athlete skimmed through the work and smiled.
"Good work Poindexter, don't forget I have a trig test next week so I need notes," he said.
"Sure thing," Brandon responded flatly.
Chase slapped his back rather roughly and walked away.
Brandon sighed heavily as he pulled the textbook out of his locker.
Natasha and Gabriel who were not far off walked over to the Blue Ranger.
"Did you really just give that tool homework?" Natasha said.
"So what if I did?" Brandon said still looking through his locker.
"Why, I mean the guy is perfectly capable of doing his own work, on top of that he's a grade ahead of you!"
Gabriel said.
Brandon sighed.
"Okay you know why I do all the stuff I do for him? The bastard damn near broke my arm last year for no apparent reason. He's been bothering me since freshman year and this is the only way to keep him from doing that," Brandon said.
Natasha's jaw dropped.
"You serious?" She said.
"I knew the guy was mean but wow," Gabriel said.
"What did the principal say?" Natasha wondered.
"You mean Chase's dad? Not a thing, apparently my damaged arm wasn't enough testimony," Brandon sighed.
"While all that happened, you've been training, you know how to stand up for yourself, why not do it?" Gabriel asked.
Brandon slammed his locker shut.
"Because I can't, I'm not the violent type. Why do you think I'm putting up with this?" He said. Brandon walked past them and down the hall.

It was third period and Clifton had P.E as well as Barry.
Clifton walked over to the track. Smiling, he admired the dark orange color of the asphalt. He took his place at the start of the lanes and knelt down.
Clifton looked to his left to see Barry kneeling down next to him.
"What are you doing over here?" Clifton said.
"What, if I'm not on the track team I'm not allowed?" Barry said.
"That's not it at all just curious," he said.
"Well there is a reason I'm here, I want to see if the guy that broke a thirty year old state record is all he's been hyped up to be," Barry said.
Clifton smirked.
"Well if that's what you wanna do," he said.
"Alright on the count of three...one, two, three!" Barry said taking off.
Clifton took off right after him and easily passed him.
Clifton passed the 200 meter mark with Barry trailing behind him.
"Whew!" Clifton said bending over.
"Still got it!" He said hopping around.
"So it wasn't a fluke," Barry said shrugging his shoulders.
"Hey, I'm just awesome," Clifton responded.
A few seconds later they could hear Terrona's voice echo through their head.
'Rangers, Garnavax has sent two monsters to attack the suburbs,'
The two ran off to the back of the school.
"We're on it Terrona," Barry said.
"Ready?"
"Ready!"
"Power of the Cosmos, Transcend the Heavens!"
Clifton is in the air with his arms apart.
The Cosmic Bands glow and emitted a light that engulfed his body from the neck down. The light faded and his red and white ranger suit appeared. Two small steel versions of Mars appeared on his left and right ears to form the helmet
Barry is in the air with his arms apart. The Cosmic Bands glow and emitted a light that engulfed his body from the neck down. The light faded and his white and gold-lined ranger suit
appeared. Two small steel versions of Mercury appeared on his left and right ears to form the helmet.

Clifton and Barry met up with their teammates in the suburbs.
"Aww, I live down the street!" Rosario whined.
The monsters blasted the ground in front of them knocking them back.
"Brutal!" Clifton groaned.
"Let's get these goons!" Barry said.
The five rangers got back up and charged at Rage and Hoodtrot.
Clifton, Barry and Rosario attacked Hoodtrot while Natasha and Brandon attacked Rage.
"I owe you a little payback!" Clifton said.
Hoodtrot punched the Red Ranger in the chest who was seemingly unaffected by it.
"Stratos Hatchet!" Barry shouted.
He leaped over his leader and hit Hoodtrot. The elephant themed monster blocked the attacks and kicked Barry in the gut.
Clifton tried to grab ahold of him but the spikes on Hoodtrot's armor extended and hit him several times.
"Hey, back off!" Rosario said firing her Star Blaster.
Hoodtrot turned his back to her, deflecting the blasts. His black armored hide glowed and sent it back at her.
"Aah!" She shrieked.
Barry caught Rosario as she struggled to stay on her feet.
Clifton stood next to them.
"C'mon, we gotta beat this guy!" Clifton said.
As that battle ensued, the battle with Rage was leaning in favor of the Rangers. Brandon kicked Rage in the sides and Natasha punched him. Rage tumbled to the floor as the two crossed paths.
"Galaxy Sabre!"
"Linear Shield!"
They brandished their weapons and attacked Rage. Rage slid backwards in a futile attempt to evade the Rangers attacks. He groaned loudly as both attacks hit him.
The two continued their attack. Rage had managed to seperate the two by firing an energy blast at them. Rage knocked Natasha aside and then attacked Brandon. Rage's sudden burst of energy took Brandon by suprise. He ducked under one swing and blocked the other. Rage then blasted Brandon into several garbage bins.
"Brandon!" Natasha said.
Scrambling to her feet, Natasha attempted to mount an attack on Rage. The monster knocked her aside and returned his attention to the Neptune Ranger.
"Now, I have plans for you!" Rage said.
He slammed his hand onto Brandon's chest. A strange purple wave of energy seeped into him.
"Aagh!" He grunted.
Whatever Rage did caused him to demorph.
"What did you do to me?" He groaned.
"You'll find out soon enough," Rage retorted.
Brandon let his head fall back and passed out.
"Brandon!" Natasha shouted.
Rage merely tossed her aside.
"Now, I'm going to finish you off!" He said now setting his sights on the Green Ranger.
Suddenly, a familiar blur zoomed in and knocked Rage backwards.
"Back off!" Flash said.
Rage growled as he got to his feet.
"I'm outta here!" He said vanshing into thin air.
Flash moved over to Natasha.
"Go help Brandon, I'll help the others."
He instructed.
"Right!" She replied before running off.
Flash ran over to the other Rangers who were being thrashed at the moment.
Clifton was tossed over Hoodtrot's head and into a nearby bush. Barry and Rosario were knocked to the floor by Hoodtrot.
Flash leaped in and aimed a well placed punch at the monster.
Hoodtrot fell backwards.
"You'll pay for that!" He said.
"Don't bet on it, Morph Blaster, Vortex Fist!" Flash leaped into the air. He pressed the golden button on his glove. Energy flowed around his fist and he slammed it into Hoodtrot. Sparks burst forth from the creature as he stumbled backwards.
"Morph Blaster, X-Gun mode!" Flash thrusted his hand forward. A gold 'X' with two barrels parallel to each other materialized infront of his hand. The trigger formed in his hand and a brace wrapped around his forearm.
He attempted to fire it but Hoodtrot blocked it with his reinforced hide.
"Need some help?" Clifton called out.
He leaped from out of the bushes with his Asteroid Busters in hand.
He fired on Hoodtrot who was distracted. The blast hit Hoodtrot head on.
"Shuttle Shift Cannon!" Rosario and Barry called out.
The two fired their weapon blasting Hoodtrot.
"Super Asteroid Buster, Astro Fire!" Clifton said.
"X-Gun, Vortex Blast!" Flash shouted.
A purple energy swirled from the two barrels, they grew about six inches wide before Flash fired it.
The blasts hit Hoodtrot causing him to explode.
"All right!" Clifton cheered.
After making sure no one was watching, they moved behind a large bush and demorphed.
The group moved over to Brandon who was just regaining consciousness.
"You alright?" Natasha asked.
Brandon held his head as he stood up.
"Yeah I think so," he said.
"You sure?" Rosario said.
"Whatever that monster did, it didn't work." Brandon replied.
"Well you all better get back to school,"
Flash said walking off.
"He's right let's get back," Barry said.
The Rangers began to walk off but Brandon seemed stuck in place.
"You coming Brandon?" Clifton yelled.
The others were too far away so they didn't notice the orange glow in Brandon's eyes. A cocky smirk spread across his lips before replying;
"Yeah I'm coming,"
