Jack was ecstatic. He'd just been selected for the mission to Igor's ship. They were preparing their things to leave. The Defence unit had to leave before they could fly to Igor's ship. The six rangers teleported out. Zhane led the estranged team into the fray. Trini and Maya fought side by side to help out. This was a distraction to lure Igor into a false sense of security, and then the reds could complete their mission. The Earth Defence Unit was doing well considering what they were against. Zhane was riding around on his bike, knocking over warriors along the way. The military had arrived. A fleet of tanks and jeeps could be seen on the horizon. The jeeps stopped and soldiers poured out. They fired straight at the warriors, destroying many of them.
"Help's on the horizon!" Trini exclaimed after destroying a warrior with one of her daggers.
The U.S. army was forcing back the warriors; they were severely depleting their numbers. The officer was there, leading the front charge. Shouting orders into his walkie talkie. He knew the power of the warriors, and was taking no chances. The tanks advanced into the warrior lines. The six rangers pushed the warriors towards the tanks. The warriors were looking worried. The invasion ship fired its lasers down onto the tanks. Tanks, warriors and jeeps burst into flames. At the end of the frenzy, there were no soldiers left and little warriors.
"We can clear the rest of them!" Zhane shouted as he dismounted his cycle and charged towards the warriors. Carlos used his lunar lance and was beating them back. Kat and Trini combined their weapons to make a bow that fired Trini's daggers. That alone killed 8 warriors. Justin pulled to one side to speak to Zordon.
"Zordon, there's practically no warriors left, it's safe to send the reds." He shouted into it and continued to the fight.
As if on cue, a loud bang was heard. Six or seven walking machines appeared in front of the rangers that had just cleared earth of the silver warriors. These machines were about twenty feet tall; they were like giant human robots. Fans of the X Men comics could imagine they look like sentinels. Igor appeared in the sky as his machines stood still.
"Pathetic humans, meet my new Invo-Bots. Six giant machines to kill six annoying rangers. You have this chance: surrender now or prepare for the hardest fight of your lives." Igor announced. The rangers adjusted their gloves and steeled themselves as a signal of rejection. "Very well then, goodbye rangers."
Igor disappeared; the six machines sprang to life. Each robot had been programmed to a ranger at the last minute.
Zhane:
Zhane charged the Invo-Bot advancing towards him on his bike. He fired at it with his blaster, with little affect. He tried slicing it's feet, but it only damaged his weapon.
Justin:
Justin was running backwards whilst blasting one with his twin blasters. After he realised that would not work he decided to call upon "Storm Blaster", his car. He started to drive away. The Invo-Bot stood there, and blasted the car into oblivion with it's eyes.
Carlos:
Carlos was stuck. He had no vehicle or long range weapon with the slightest chance of doing some damage. He was crouching behind a destroyed car. He ran out with his Lunar Lance and swiped at its feet. All it accomplished was that it broke his lance. He started to run again.
Maya:
Maya used her acrobatic ability to make it safely across a freeway riddled with cars ablaze. The Invo-Bot had a hard time with this, and tried to blast his way out. This took a while. Maya had a head start, but she did not feel any safer.
Trini:
Trini jumped out and threw her daggers at the Invo-Bot; the bot did not really notice this. She pulled out her blaster and start firing, with a similar affect.
Kat:
Kat was firing her bow continuously; this was keeping the Invo-Bot back, but not any closer in damaging it. She vaulted a fence and ran across a series of alleyways, in hope the bot could not follow.
"Zordon, get the rangers over there and tell them to shut down the Bot-programming! We're getting killed out here"
