The Astro Megaship mark III lifted off the soft terrain. Maligore rose behind them. Maya was behind the controls of the ship.

"Any ideas?" She asked.

"Not really. I'm not even supposed to be here." Jack muttered.

"You think you're better than us?" Justin asked. The others closed in around him.

"Well I did halt an alien invasion from the Troobian Empire!" Jack stood proudly.

"Yeah? I defended Earth, and there were only five of us!" Carlos pointed.

"I risked my life to prevent Master Vile from getting the Zeo crystal." Kat put her hand up.

"CAN WE SHUT UP? We're all on the list of worst rangers, so whatever we did, the others could have done without us! Now we've got a giant daemon behind us! Do we run or fight?" Maya shouted.

"This is indeed disturbing news. I'm slightly re-considering pulling you out and replacing you with the rangers that can handle this." Zordon said coldly.

"It was a giant invasion! There were five of us with incompatible powers! I very much doubt the Dino Thunder crew could've done better!" Carlos shouted.

"Calm down Carlos, I will not pull you out because that will further damage your reputation. I will not force assistance on you, however if you want it, it'll be there." Zordon replied.

"Well Maligore's on his way here. What are we gonna do?" Kat shook her arms.

"This is out of my hands. The government are now mounting defences. You can be there to assist, they already know your identities." Zordon replied. Kat stroked her chin.
