I decided to give these serpents their own language since it wouldn't make sense talking to each other in English. Therefore, I am giving them the language of Dragonspeak from Skyrim. If you don't know any of the words or haven't played Skyrim, just go to the Elder Scrolls Wiki for a quick dictionary. I'll post a link on my profile.

Also, I'll be incorporating a bit of Skyrim into this story to make the entire serpent flow easier to write about. You'll see what I mean.

Anyways, on with the story!

==Pailsade, North Carolina, United States==

It took all the hacking, slashing, punching, kicking, blasting, and hitting that they could do, but they finally held the massive serpent army to a standstill. There were only about twenty left from the original one-hundred, but it would still be a tough battle getting to the center.

Troy almost completely obliterated the lower serpents by himself, with some assistance from his Megaforce teammates. While they were a help, they were nowhere close to as combat-ready as Troy was. His years of martial arts training showed and helped pay off.

Gia was the closest thing to a true teammate that Troy had. While she swayed away, she was definitely able to hold her own in battle. Years of her 'tough girl' attitude showed as something that was not meant to be played around with.

On the other side of the battlefield, Jake Fernandez was the leading attacker. Since he was second only to Chase, who was in Russia, he had to act as the leader of the Palisade group. While he wasn't usually the one to be taken seriously, he was not something to be messed with when he was angry.

Ryleigh did a good job coordinating attacks and assiting the Rangers. When she could see a Ranger was about to get their ass kicked, she would call them back and go in for them, throwing final blows to the respective serpents.

As a team, however, the Rangers were appearing lackluster. Since the two group still weren't used to each other, they seperated in their own ways. The Megaforce group, especially, stuck to themselves. Since they were the least familiar with their own teammates, they weren't as close as the Palisade Rangers. This caused a gaping hole in their defense, which the serpents tried to take advantage of.

Finally, when it appeared that everything was over and there was no general in sight, the Rangers all fell to breathe. When the area was clear of civilians, they were able to unmorph without detection.

"Good job, guys..." Ryleigh breathed a sigh of relief. "That was way harder than anything we've faced in Smalltown...of maybe is it because I'm a mom?" she laughed as she looked at the eight Rangers circled up around her. "Anyways, great victory today."

"Do you really think we did that good?" Jake Fernandez asked.

"Yes, Fernandez, you did pretty good."

"Why'd you call me Fernandez?" he asked.

Ryleigh looked back and forth at both Jakes. "I guess now would be a great time to introduce each other. We have two Jakes on the team, one will go by his surname, Holling, while the other will go by his surname, Fernandez." she announced.

Both Jakes look at each other awkwardly. "Sup, Jake." Fernandez greeted. Holling waved back.

Ryleigh moved on to Emma. "This is Emma Goodall. She likes bike riding and photography." Emma smiled softly and waved to the rest of the team.

Ryleigh looked at her friend, Gia. "This is Gia Moran. She doesn't talk much, but I'm sure she'll open up, soon enough." Ryleigh said, smiling hopefully at Gia. Gia just gave a sarcastic thumbs up to the team.

The next person in the order Ryleigh went in was Noah. "This is Noah Carver, technological wizard." she introduced. Noah smiled and tipped his glasses to his teammates.

Then came Jake Holling. "Like I said earlier, his name is Jake Holling, star soccer player." Jake Holling shot a cheesy smile at his teammates.

The last Megaforce Ranger was Troy. "This is Troy Burrows, the leader of the Megaforce Rangers." she said, letting Troy wave to his teammates.

She moved on to the Palisade Rangers and saw Kenzie was the first one. "This is McKenzie Taylor, who goes by Kenzie. Great track & field runner and good friend."

Next was Jake Fernandez. "This is, once again, Jake Fernandez. He's a genius in the classroom, but doesn't like to show it." Jake Fernandez smiled embarrassedly to his temamates.

The last Ranger was Nick. "This is Nick Carlisle, musical genius and passionate kid. He really loves what he does." she said, letting Nick wave to his teammates the way Troy did.

"Why do they get a cool name like Megaforce?" Kenzie asked. "What do we get?"

"Well, Raylan codenamed you guys 'Rescue Operatives'." Ryleigh answered. "Rescue Ops for short, I guess..."

"Rescue Ops..." Fernandez repeated. "I like it!"

"I actually like the sound of that more than 'Megaforce'." Emma added in.

Ryleigh could tell that it would take time for these kids to grow accustomed to each other, but they were already starting. After all, they were only teenagers going through the awkward phases of their lives. Ryleigh's team had just been fortunate enough to bump into each other before becoming Rangers, something that these other teams couldn't have done.

"How about we go to the Java House and get something to snack on?" she suggested. The other Rangers got up awkwardly and followed her as she led them to the coffee shop.

Emma watched both battles through the news coverage; the one in Palisade and the one in Moscow. She wished she could have been out there, but she had a daughter to take care of. It seemed like Ryleigh was doing a great job of keeping everything under control and acting as a team leader. Of the few memories she had of Ryleigh while they were teammates together was that Ryleigh was a great replacement for Raylan in any of his absences.

As for the battle in Moscow, it seemed to have destroyed most of the city. There were hundreds of people dead, and Raylan wasn't even on the scene. It disappointed her to see that her husband wasn't there, but she was sure that it was because of some secretive reason. Most of the time, his job kept him from his Ranger duties. She was pleased to see, however, that Alli and Chase were exceptionally well on the battlefield. Their teamwork led to a swift sweeping of the serpents.

When the battles ended, she turned her TV off and looked at her daughter, who was playing with the mobile above her crib. If Emma were to ever morph into her Ranger Suit again, it would endanger Casey. Raylan and Emma had an agreement where only one of them would morph at a time while the other tended to the little girl in order to protect her. While it hurt Emma to watch the city getting shredded to bits from her own home, she knew she couldn't break the pact she had with her husband.

Emma walked over to Casey and picked her up. "I love you, Casey." she whispered into her daughter's ears.

"Ma-ma!" Casey cooed.

==Moscow, Moscow Oblast, Russian Federation==

When the monsters were being repressed, Alli and Chase were able to unmorph and regroup with the rest of the school. That way, their identities would remain secret while the Russian army would be left to deal with the minor menace.

It took all they could, but they were able to hold their own in their first battle with each other. Chase was a very formidable fighter who used a strategy of getting right into it; offense over defense. Alli, on the other hand, did the opposite. She planned out her moves and then carried them out based on the risks of jumping straight into them. Together as a team they were unstoppable.

The two of them quickly rushed back into the hotel with the rest of their schoolmates before being detected.

"Phew, that was a close call." Alli sighed, slumping into a couch in the hotel lobby.

Chase fell down on the empty seat by her. "I know, right? That was exhausting." he agreed.

"Good job today, you were awesome." Alli smiled.

Chase smiled back. "No, you were."

Alli's dad spotted his daughter and gave her a big hug. "Alli, you had me worried. Where were you?" he asked her, looking at both kids sitting down.

"Chase helped me find my way through the city. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him." she said, looking back and forth between the two.

Chase scratched his head. "It was nothing, really..."

"Thank you very much." Alli's father said, shaking Chase's hand before walking off to regroup the other kids, who were causing a ruckus.

Chase looked at Alli confused. "Are you kidding me? Was it really me?" he asked.

Alli put her arm around him. "Trust me, if you weren't here with me, I'd probably be dead. You saved me." she smiled, kissing him on the cheek.

Luckily, Raylan was able to finish off most of the serpents before they could get their hands on the nuclear codes. However, one was still standing: Sutekh. He had come back from Novaya Zemlya due to his inability to lay his hands on some of the Russian nukes.

"I'm going to finish you!" Raylan shouted, sending some blasts to the large serpent.

"Not If I get you first!" Sutekh roared, breathing fire at Raylan.

Raylan quickly roll dodged out of the way and took residence behind a wall. When Sutekh's fire trailed out, Raylan went back in and blasted him. Unfortunately, it was too late as Sutekh quickly grabbed the nulear codes out of a safe.

"Look what I have!" Sutekh taunted, waving the nuclear codes in the air.

"No!" Raylan shouted, firing rounds as Sutekh, only for the serpent to dodge them.

"Feim zii!" Suteh roared, teleporting from the scene.

"What happened?" Raylan mumbled to himself, standing alone in the destroyed room.

He walked around and inspected the area, hoping to find anything that could prevent Sutekh's master nuclear plan. Since the Kremiln was a high communications area, he knew he could contact Gadget-X.

He pressed his morpher and spoke into it. "Gadget-X, you there?" he asked, waiting for the communication to kick in.

"Reading!" the robot announced through the morpher.

Raylan sighed with relief. "This general just shouted words foreign to even my ear, I need you to do a reading on them." he said.

"What did he say?"

"He said 'feim zii' and then just teleported into mid-air."

"I'm picking up that 'feim zii' directly translates into 'fade spirit' in an ancient language. My robotic gut says that this ancient language can be combined to make spells."

"Are you sure about that?" Raylan asked.

"That's the only thing I can come up with." Gadget-X answered.

Raylan groaned. "Do you have any sort of translator? Anything?"

"I can't pick anything up about this language. It appears to me that you've just discovered your spell, but I don't think you now how to use it."

"So I have to find these words out on my own and then find out how to say them? Goddamnit!" Raylan shouted.

"I'm sorry, but I can't really help you." the robot apologized.

"It's all right, I'll be able to do this. See ya." he said, hanging the morpher up.

This was a huge surprise to Raylan. He would not only have to be fluent in this serpentine language, but he also had to be able to use spell incantations to fight the serpents off.

Raylan shook his head and walked upstairs. He didn't have a proper excuse to give to Prime Minister Putin about this failure.
