"Calder what are you doing?" the sixth ranger asked running over to him.
"I need to get somethings from here," Calder replied grabbing some papers.
"We need to get out of here now," Trey said grabbing him, "come on."
"Wait I still have things in here I need."
Pulling him up the stairs Trey finally let him go when they got upstairs and the two ran as the ground started to crack behind them.
"Trey, Calder!" Amy yelled as she spotted them running out the front door.
"Get back!" Trey yelled back waving for them to move.
Before they could process what he said though the Cyberspace Cafe exploded behind the two rangers knocking them off their feet and causing the team to shield their eyes.
-Cyber Drive-
The fire from the destroyed building that was once Cyberspace heated up to air to a point that it was hard for the rangers to breath. Groaning Drake got up onto his knees he looked around and coughed as the smoke filled his lungs and impaired his visions of his friends. From what he could see though was that the other five rangers were all getting to their feet, all of them covered in soot and grime from the explosion. Not far to his right, Kris was limping over to him, holding her arm and he could see a bit of blood trickling down her arm, but the pink ranger for the most part looked intact and frowned as she looked around.
"I...I can't believe it," she muttered, "Cyberspace is gone."
"All our tech, our base," Calder said dejectedly, "all of it's been blown to pieces."
Drake nodded solemnly and looked around, all that he had come to recognize as home to him over the summer was now destroyed right in front of him. But he noticed that someone else was missing that had just been with them as they ran out of the cafe, a certain former yellow ranger.
"Wait, where's Kira?" Drake asked looking around, "I thought she was with us."
"I'm right here rangers," came Kira's reply.
Turning around the team spotted the older yellow ranger and ran over to her, Kris and Amy hugging her and making her smile. To say that she was relieved to see the group of teens would be an understatement, she had come to love them over the small time she knew them and didn't want them to be hurt more than was possible for a ranger, as it had been with her when she had met Kimberly and Kat. But after they had gotten out of the Cyberspace Cafe she had to get to work and help clear the area of civilians to make sure no one got hurt and she had just been able to remove herself from that to go and check on them.
"Is everyone okay, I don't see anyone missing so…"
"We're all as good as we can be at the moment Kira," Amy promised, "but where did you run off to?"
"I was helping to make sure that there were no civilians around when the building exploded," Kira explained with a frown, "I had hope that I wouldn't have had to tell you the same but…"
"So what are we going to do now?" Merrick asked trying to wipe some of the soot off, "I mean the Cyber Gate we were going to use just kind of blew up on us?"
"I'm not sure, but what I do know is that our mission hasn't changed," their red ranger promised, "We're still going to fight back against the Viralites, and we'll find another way into the Cyber World, with it without a base right now."
"That's all well and good but like Merrick said we don't have a Cyber Gate anymore," Trey pointed out as he wiped his hands on his pants, "so how are we going to even get to the Cyber World?"
"We'll figure something out, we always do," Drake reminded them, pulling from his wallet the picture of him and Jenna with their parents after they were born that he got from Harlaown.
The others all nodded in agreement, Kris taking a hold of his hand and giving it a soft squeeze before he put it back in his wallet and looking up at his team he gave them a look of confidence.
"Alcon hasn't just taken the past rangers now, he's taken one of our friends and if he thinks that we're going to sit back and allow that then he's in for a big surprise."
The other rangers cheered in agreement, Kira standing off to the side and smiling as she watched the team. As Drake suggested trying to clean up some of the rubble to see if they could find anything that could help them the former yellow ranger felt her phone vibrate and saw that she had a text from Conner asking her to come to their former base. With a quick nod to the two female rangers Kira left the team to their work and headed towards the very place that started the Dino Thunder team's adventure.
-Cyber Drive-
"ARGH!" Alcon roared as he stood up from his throne, watching the Cyberspace Cafe be torn asunder.
"Commander I assure you that I will find whoever it was that has…"
"Oh I know who it was Scores," the Commander Viralite yelled cutting him off, "that spy Destro may have just destroyed my chance at taking those pesky rangers out myself."
Scores tilted his head to the side in confusion, not sure what to say at his commander's proclamation.
"Forgive me Commander but...would it not be easier to destroy the human world if the Cyber Rangers were gone?"
Alcon spun around and lashed out with his sword, the tip of the blade missing the Cyborg by less than an inch, causing his right hand monster to stumble back to avoid it.
"You disappoint me Scores, have you gone so soft that you wish the rangers destroyed by someone else?"
"Of course not Commander," Scores apologized with a bow, "forgive me for my foolish response."
Putting up his sword up, Alcon walked down the steps in front of his throne and up to the floating holographic screen.
"Bring me Digi, I want answers as to what Destro did," Alcon ordered, Scores walking out of the room.
Seconds later Digi waddled in, his mustache twitching from side to side as he wondered why the Commander had summoned him during his work on building the device that would power the gates that they had to release him.
"Commander Alcon, what a pleasant surprise," Digi sucked up with a bow, "may I ask what this summon is for?"
"Destro has managed to destroy the Cyber Rangers' base," Alcon growled, keeping his back to him, "and I want to know how."
Digi watched the screen closely, trying to spot anything that might give him a clue as to what is going on but couldn't find anything that would catch his attention. The Scientist Viralite knew that it wouldn't be a good idea to tell that to his Commander, and tried to think of anything that might have been out of the ordinary.
"I'm sorry Commander but I can't spot anything that would…" Digi started before realizing something.
"What is it Digi?" Alcon ordered.
"Oh how could I forget, it's a long shot but in fact it might actually be what's happening," Digi continued as he started to pace the room as he mentally went through a check list.
"Digi…" Alcon warned getting more and more irritated.
"Forgive me Commander Alcon but if I'm correct then I may have a clue about what Destro did to destroy the rangers' base," Digi explained, his mustache twitching erratically, "you see when Destro was last here and you fought him he managed to get a hold of one of my discarded devices."
"And what device would that be Digi?" Scores questioned from where he was standing next to the door.
"Back when we started to gather the Cyber Gates I was working on a device that would power the gates to a point that Commander Alcon would be able to get through it."
"So you were working on the same device that you are now?" Alcon stated matter-of-factly, "what's your point?"
"I didn't have the same blueprints then that Scores had recently obtained," Digi said turning to look at the screen, "I had created that device in a hope that we would be able to achieve your goal Commander but when I had finished it and tested it, the device never worked."
Walking over to the floating holographic screen he looked at the explosion once more, Scores wondering just how much longer it would be before the Commander destroyed the Scientist Viralite for stalling.
"Every test I had for it, it always over powered the gate and caused it to explode on me, so I had tossed it into the discard bin without a second thought and got to work on capturing the rangers, that must be what Destro grabbed before he vanished."
"And why did you not think to destroy that device Digi?" Alcon pressed angrily.
"L-like I-I said Commander, I had s-started work on c-c-capturing the past rangers to get them out of the way for you," Digi stammered in fear as Alcon towered over him.
"And what a good job you did there," Scores pointed out, "two of the past rangers have gotten free and now they had started their own ranger team to stop us."
"N-now you, you s-stay out of this Scores!" Digi protested indignantly, "I'll have you know that if it weren't for me then you would still be that southern talking, gunslinging, failure that you were before you became this."
"Need I remind you that it's the Viralites that you've created that have yet to defeat the rangers," Scores reminded him, "and it was your programming that failed when Gem left us."
"That wasn't my fault, if it weren't for that Cyber Green convincing her to leave then…"
"ENOUGH!" Alcon roared, effectively silencing them, "I don't want to hear anymore excuses, the fact of the matter is YOU created the device that Destro used to destroy the rangers base, which means that even without their powers they were planning on coming here to save the past rangers and their friend which means that had the means of creating their own Cyber Gate."
Storming back over to his throne Alcon spun around with a swish of his cape and sat down before stabbing his sword into the ground in front of him. Tightening his grip on his sword he processed all of the information that he had just gained from his underlings and tried to come up with a plan when he noticed that the rangers were on the screen, pushing through the rubble of the destroyed building.
"And it seems that not even Destro was competent enough to finish them off," he growled, "which means that they still pose a threat to me."
"Commander without their powers they clearly don't have the necessary strength to fight you," Scores said confidently, "allow me to take a squad of Technos and Gridlings to finish them off."
Alcon was about to respond when a loud beeping sound started to echo through the room, a map replacing the video of the rangers and zooming in on a large Cyber Gate that had just appeared in the soccer fields of the high school.
"Hm a good idea Scores, but instead let those powerless rangers come to you," Alcon ordered, "go to their high school and keep them from the Cyber Gate, I have a feeling that they'll use it to get here."
With a nod Scores vanished from the room in a stream of data, Alcon pushing himself out of his throne and pulling his sword out of the ground.
"And as for you Digi, you will return to the lab and finish the device to power up the gates to allow me to leave here."
"Of course Commander, in fact it's almost complete," Digi promised with a bow, "just a few more touches and I'll place the rangers' Cyber Keys into power it up."
"Then get to work," Alcon commanded as Digi scampered to leave the room.
With no one left in the throne room but him, Alcon switched the view on the screen back to the rangers and watched them carefully.
"Be warned rangers, your time is coming to an end, and once you're out of the way the Human World will be destroyed and I shall stand victorious."
-Cyber Drive-
The team had spent the better part of the hour pushing through the rubble of Cyberspace as they tried to look from any remains of their base. The further down they dug though the more they started to feel that they wouldn't even be able to find anything from the wreckage.
"Is anyone finding anything?" Amy asked as she wiped her hands off using her jeans.
"Nothing over here," Trey grumbled as he and Drake toss a rather large chunk of concrete to the side.
"And we're not getting anything over here," Merrick replied as he and Calder dug through the rubble.
"I hate to say it rangers," Kris sighed as she pushes some hair out of her eyes, "but I don't think we're going to find anything."
"I think Kris is right," Calder agreed standing up, "our base was the epicenter of the explosion if we find anything from there it would be a miracle."
"Drake you have anything to say?" Trey asked looking over at the red ranger.
Drake didn't reply, instead he continued to shift through the pile of rocks and concrete when he suddenly felt something smooth and cool to the touch. Frowning he started to clear out the area he was digging in, his friends all walking over to him when he didn't reply.
"Um, hello Earth to the red ranger," Merrick said bending down next to him, "we're trying to talk to you."
"Drake is everything okay?" Kris asked concerned, reaching out to touch his arm.
"Just give me a second guys," Drake replied as he kept digging.
Finally Drake managed to unEarth what it was that he touched and pulled out a crystal shard, the others looking at it in shock.
"That's one of the Primordial Shard," Amy muttered.
"But...but that's impossible, they were under lock and key in the base, how did that survive?" Merrick asked confused.
"I don't know," Drake said turning the shard around in his hand, "but it's here and if this one is here…"
"Then maybe the others are around here as well," Trey concluded.
The team looked at one another and quickly got to work digging through the rubble in a hope that they would find the other shards of the Primordial Crystal. After a few moments of digging they started to find what they were looking for, Kris, Amy, Calder, and Trey all pulling out the shards from the rubble and holding them up for the others to see.
"That's the five of them that we had," Merrick muttered as they regrouped, his eyes on the shard in Trey's hand, "so now that we have them what do we do?"
"Not sure, me and Jenna still weren't a hundred percent on just what we should do with them," Caler admitted sheepishly, "but still if we found them then maybe there's a reason for that and…"
The sound of beeping coming from the green ranger's pocket stopped his train of thoughts as he pulled out his phone, his eyes going wide as he looked at the screen.
"No way…"
"Calder what's going on?" Drake asked frowning.
"I totally forgot I did this," Calder replied excitedly, "a while ago me and Jenna connected my phone to the computer in the Cyber Drive base so that way if we missed an alert it would show up on my phone."
"And why didn't you do this to the rest of our phones?" Merrick asked folding his arms over his chest.
"That's not the point at the moment Merrick," the green ranger said showing them the phone, "the point is that a Cyber Gate just showed up…"
Reaching into his other pocket he pulled out a small device that looked similar to their morphers, and gave his team a pleased grin.
"And I think I have a way to use it to get us into the Cyber World."
-Cyber Drive-
Following the signal to the Cyber Gate, the rangers made their way towards Reefside High School and onto the soccer fields.
"Alright Calder so what do we need to do?" Drake asked as they made their way to the middle of the field.
"We just need to find the Cyber Gate, once we do that I should be able to use this device to allow us to go through it to the Cyber World," Calder explained as he started to mess with it, the lights on the device starting to flash red, "once I do that we can go and save Jenna and the past rangers."
Before anyone could say anything else the Cyber Gate appeared to their left near the goal, small flashes of electricity coming off of it.
"Anyone else getting the feeling that this is the gate we were creating?" Kris asked uncomfortably.
"No no this is great, if this is the one we created back at the base then all I have to do is use this device to stabilize it," Calder said as he continued to work on said device, "I just need a few more minutes to calibrate it."
Drake nodded but his attention was soon captured as the sound of dial up could be heard, the rangers seeing Scores appear in front of the Gate.
"You rangers really don't know when to give up do you?" Scores asked amused, "even without your powers you're willing to throw your lives away."
"You seem pretty sure of yourself Scores," Drake retorted as they group took a step forward to shield Calder, "what makes you think that we're powerless?"
"Maybe the fact that I took your powers from you myself, or was that so traumatizing that you forgot already Cyber Red?"
The rangers all lined up, Calder joining them this time as they activated their morphers much to Scores confusion.
"What is the meaning of this, you don't have your powers so there's no way that you can fight me," Scores bellowed in irritation, "so just give up you've lost!"
"Man this is almost painful to watch," Merrick said looking over at Drake, "what do you say leader man?"
"You guys ready?" Drake asked holding up his morpher.
"Ready!"
"Cyber Drive, Get Connected!"
"Firewall Activate!"
The rangers sped down the cyber highway, quickly morphing and downloading their cyber weapons. Taken aback Scores quickly shook if his initial shock and aimed his cannon at them.
"What is this, you're not suppose to have your powers," Scores proclaimed as he looked at the rangers.
"Wouldn't you like to know," Calder teased as he and Merrick high fived.
"If you think that we're just going to lay down and let you take over the world then you're more of an idiot then I thought Scores," Drake said shouldering his sword.
Scores let out a low growl as he clenched his fist, the cannon on his other hand still aimed at the rangers. He didn't like that he had just been made a fool of and if these rangers wanted to do that to him, well they had better be ready to pay for it. Without another word the Cyborg Viralite downloaded a mass of Technos and Gridlings, the rangers preparing their weapons in response.
"Alright rangers, we need to clear the area so that we can get to the Cyber Gate," Drake ordered, "after that Calder will do whatever he needs to do."
"You got it Drake!" Amy said twirling her daggers.
"Oh this is going to be fun," Merrick said directing his lance at the group of minions.
Seeing that the Viralites were starting to grow impatient, Drake tightened his grip on both his swords and held up his Cyber Connector, quickly activating his Saber Mode.
"Let's show these pieces of scrap metal not to mess with the Power Rangers!"
Back in the Cyber Fortress, Alcon couldn't believe what he was seeing as he watched the power rangers, the same rangers that he thought were finished without their powers, fight off his forces with the powers he thought they no longer had. Feeling his rage grow he left the throne room and stormed down the hall towards Digi's lab, kicking down the door and startling the scientist.
"C-Commander Alcon, what wrong?" Digi asked confused.
Alcon didn't reply as he pushed past the smaller Viralite, knocking him to the ground, and went over where the so called "Cyber Keys" were suppose to be. Yanking off the lid of box holding the Cyber Keys the Commander pulled one out and spun around to face a still confused Digi who was starting to stand up.
"Scan this Digi?" Alcon ordered thrusting the key out to him.
"I don't see why I would need to scan this Cyber Key Commander Alcon, we know the powers that they hold will allow you to…"
"The power rangers are currently fighting Scores and I want to know why they still have their powers!"
"W-what! But that's...that's impossible, the rangers don't have their Cyber Keys," Digi stated, his mustache twitching wildly as he took the key from the Commander.
Placing it on a scanner, Digi watched as a neon green grid covered the key and spins around as it appears on the screen.
"I shall inform you when I have the information you require Commander Alcon," Digi promised with a bow.
"You better," Alcon growled as he turned to leave, "my plan to destroying the human world is almost complete, and once those rangers are gone and I get out of here no one will be able to stop me."
The Cyborg Viralite fired his cannon at the red ranger, Drake spinning in midair to avoid it and landing in front of his opponent before lashing out with his swords. While Drake fought Scores the others were taking out the back ups, Trey firing his Cyber Gun rapidly, watching as one by one the Viralite minions fell.
"You guys make great target practice you know," he said as he took down a few more, "almost makes me sad that we're about to wipe all of you out."
"Don't get too attached Trey," Amy warned as she spun around and slashed the ones surrounding her.
Merrick slid across the ground, bracing his Cyber Lance on his shoulders and blocking the Gridlings that were attacking him. Spinning around he knocked them back and kicked one of them in the chest, knocking it into the nearby goal.
"Yeah cause with any luck we won't have to fight any more of these things."
"Focus rangers," Drake called out as he ducked underneath Scores' cannon arm, "the faster we get through with these things the faster we can get to the Cyber World."
Slashing two of the Gridlings behind him, Calder pulled out the device he was fiddling with earlier and saw that the light on it has started flashing yellow instead of red.
"It's getting close to ready," he said looking over at the others, "Drake catch!"
Drake spun around, kicking Scores in the process as Calder tossed him the device. Catching it, the red ranger looked over at his opponent and rolled out of the way as Scores fired his cannon at him.
"You're not a very good shot with that are you Scores?" Drake taunted the Cyborg as he placed the device on his belt and went back fighting him.
"You're cockiness knows no bounds does it red ranger?" Scores questioned as he continued to fire at him, "I'm going to enjoy taking your powers from you a second time."
Drake jumped into the air using his armor's jets, avoiding the attacks before falling back to the ground.
"Calder, what am I supposed to be looking for exactly?"
"Just watch for the green light," the green ranger replied as he barreled through some of his opponents, "once they're green throw it into the Cyber Gate and it will start to stabilize it so we can get through."
"So that what you rangers are trying to do huh?" Scores observed as he backhanded Drake, the red ranger skidding a few feet before stopping, "you're going to the Cyber Fortress to stop Commander Alcon."
"Was that really ever a question?" the red ranger asked with a huff, "we're going to stop Alcon no matter what."
"Afraid I can't let you do that Cyber Red."
Scores fired his cannon once again, Drake using his swords to slash through and break the attacks.
"Yeah, I figured you might say that," Drake commented, as he got ready for round two.
Using his jets once again, Drake took to the air and flipped over his opponent, spinning around fast enough to block the backhand coming his way and jumping backwards to put some distance between the two of them. Scores was quick to follow up but was stopped when an arrow struck him in his side, his attention now turning to the pink ranger standing to his right.
"You think that hurt me Cyber Pink?" he asked aiming at her, "please that was nothing but a joke."
Another couple of attacks hit him, this time coming from the left and making him spin around to see Cyber Green and Cyber Fire aiming at him. Before he could say anything though more blast struck him from behind and he saw Cyber Blue and Yellow standing their with their Cyber Blasters.
"Just give up Scores, you can't win," Drake stated as the Cyborg Viralite looked over to him.
"If you think that I'm just going to give up then you're sadly mistaken," Scores offered, "I am willing to do anything to progress my Commander's plan."
Kris frowned as she watched Scores carefully, noticing that he was messing with something on his cannon arm when she saw a spark of electricity. The cannon then started to glow and her mind started racing as she realized what it was that he meant.
"He's going to self-destruct!" Kris yelled, the others looking over at her in shock.
"Everyone get back," Drake ordered, Scores starting to laugh.
"It's too late rangers, you won't be able to get out of my pull."
Scores himself started to glow brightly, the rangers suddenly finding themselves getting pulled towards him as they struggled to get away.
"What's going on?" Merrick asked as he tried to dig his heels into the ground.
"He's pulling us in like some kind of magnet," Calder replied as he struggled to break loose, "we have to find away out of this."
"Ha ha ha, you rangers will never be able to break free from my magnetic pull, you're finished, this is the end of the power rangers!" Scores laughed as he started to pull them in faster.
"I-it's the metal on our ranger suits," Trey pointed out, "he's using that to pull us in."
"Everyone demorph now!" Drake ordered as he demorphed and backed away.
The others followed his example and demorphed before backing away as fast as they could, Drake noticing the lights on the device that Calder gave him turned green. Throwing it as hard as he could Drake watched as it flew through the air and landed in the middle of the Cyber Gate, the gate glowing a bright blue. Seeing that the rangers were getting away, Scores tried to use more of his energy to pull them in again but realized that it was too late as he cannon arm started to flash red before he exploded, the shock wave causing the team to stumble to the ground. Looking back to where Scores was just standing, Drake rolled over to lay on his back as he tried to catch his breath as he looked over to where the Cyber Gate was.
"Two explosions," he heard Merrick groan, "two explosions in one day."
"It could be worse," came Trey's reply, "we could have actually been caught in either of those explosions."
"That's not helpful Trey," Amy groaned as she stood up, "besides I would rather not die in a fire explosion."
"I second that," Kris agreed as she moved into a sitting position.
Standing up, Drake walked over to where Scores had exploded and couldn't help but feel relieved with the thought that one of the more powerful Viralites were gone. Alcon meanwhile yelled out in frustration as his best fighter was just destroyed, the Commander storming over to a computer council.
"Activate Project Increase!"
A beam of data hit where Scores was standing, reforming him and making the Cyborg Viralite larger than before.
"This time I won't fail," Score proclaimed as he reached skyscraper height.
"Oh come on," Calder whined.
"Were you really expecting something different?" Trey asked skeptically.
"Well we didn't have to use our zords for the last couple of fights."
"Be that as it may, we still have to take him down," Drake reminded them, "let's morph and finish Scores once and for all."
Morphing, the rangers summoned their zords and got to work, the Cyber Max and Data Rail Megazord taking either side of their opponent.
"Commander Alcon," Digi called out as he ran into the throne room, "it seems that those keys that Scores had obtained aren't the normal Cyber Keys that the rangers use."
"So Scores was tricked by those rangers huh?" Alcon asked angrily, "then he had better hope they destroy him before I do it myself."
"But Commander Alcon that's the thing the keys that we have are powerful enough to power the Cyber Gate," Digi explained catching his attention.
"What are you talking about?"
"These were keys that Harlaown created to overpower you," the Scientist Viralite said fixing his coat, "and that might have been possible if they hadn't foolishly use them."
"I suppose there's something else you want to tell me then," Alcon growled, Digi stuttering as he backed up.
"It's possible to use these in place of the Cyber Keys Commander," Digi explained, "and since the device to power up the gates is ready all we have to do is power it up and wait for it to generate enough energy to get you through."
"So then the time has finally come," Alcon roared in excitement, "then bring it in here and start it up Digi, it's time to eradicate the human world once and for all."
A couple of Gridlings came in, pushing along with them a rather large metal circle, four glass chambers on the top of it with the four captured Cyber Gates. On the right side of the large circle was a computer pane that Digi took to as he started to power up the device, the Cyber Gates on top started to glow as they activated and formed a new gate in the center of the metal circle. Lightning flew from the new gate as it charged up, Alcon standing there watching in anticipation as the gate formed in front of him. Summoning an army worth of his minions Alcon faced them and lifted his sword to the sky as the lightning broke through the ceiling.
"Gridlings, Technos today we destroy the human world, today we show the might of the Viralites," He called out, all of the minions slamming their weapons on the ground as they cheered in their normal beeping noise, "now then go to the human world, start the assult, and DESTROY THOSE WHO STAND IN MY WAY!"
The sound of thousands upon thousands of computerized beeping filled the air as the Gridlings and Technos moved through the forming gate, the gate holding enough power at the moment to allow them through. Turning around Alcon walked pass Digi, the scientist still working on the panel to keep it charging up to allow the Commander through.
"I rather hope that Scores doesn't destroy the rangers," he admitted confusing Digi, "I want the pleasure of destroying them myself."
-Cyber Drive-
Lashing out, Scores struck them with his cannon arm, making sure to fire at them at the same time and making the megazords stumble back. Downloading their megzords' weapons the rangers worked to attack Scores, but the Cyborg Viralite had other ideas as he grabbed a hold of the Cyber Spear and thrusted at the Data Rail Megazord.
"Whoa!" the rangers called out as they were tossed around.
"I don't like this," Calder croaked as they straightened up their megazord.
"How do you think I feel, my zord was the one you just stabbed," Trey exclaimed.
"Ha you rangers are nothing, I'll finish you off right here and now," Scores declared as he blasted the Cyber Max Megazord in the back.
"Anybody else feeling disoriented?" Merrick inquired as the megazord hit the ground.
"Alright then Scores let's see how you like this," Trey proposed as he used the Rail Sword attack.
The sword sent sparks flying off of the Cyborg as the Cyber Max Megazord stood up and used their spear to hit him in the back. Using his cannon Scores fired at the Data Rail Megazord and caused some damage, sparks flying around the cockpit as Trey shielded his face.
"Whoa, things are getting a little hot in here," he claimed as he worked to get everything back in working order.
"Yeah things aren't much better over here," Amy admitted as the same thing was happening on their side.
"I warned you rangers, and now that I have you I'm going to complete what I started," declared as he smacked down the Cyber Max Megazord and then fired his cannon at the Data Rail.
As the two megazords hit the ground the rangers were tossed around inside, all of them falling out of their seats.
"How is he stronger than before?" Kris grunted as she moved to get into her seat.
"No clue, but we need to figure something out quickly or he's going to keep his promise about destroying us," came the red ranger's warning, "I'm opened to ideas if anyone has them."
Before anyone could say anything the sky started to darken and lightning filled the air as, down below, Viralite minions started to march through the streets.
"What in the…" Merrick muttered as the rangers looked on in confusion.
"I've never seen so many Gridlings and Technos before," Amy said in shock.
"No kidding, but how are they all getting through at the moment?" Drake asked before hearing Scores laugh.
"It seems that Digi was able to power up his device," Scores mocked, "it will be no time at all before the Commander comes through and finishes this world."
"What?" Calder said in shock.
"No way," Merrick groaned clenching his fist.
"This can't be happening," Kris muttered as she trembled slightly.
Clenching his fist, Drake slammed it down on the panel in front of him as he trembled in anger.
"No," he whispered darkly, "no I won't let that happen!"
"Drake?" Kris whispered as she looked over at the red ranger.
"Face it Cyber Red you've failed, nothing you do now will stop Commander Alcon," Scores taunted as lightning struck around the megazords.
"CYBER DRIVE RANGERS!" Alcon's voice rang out all around the fight, "I'M COMING TO YOUR WORLD TO DESTROY IT AND TO FINISH OFF YOU!"
"Not going to happen," Drake declared pulling out a Cyber Chip, "Cyber Spinner download!"
"What are you thinking Drake?" Amy asked as the weapon downloaded.
"We're going to try to use the Cyber Spinner at full power, with any luck it will be enough to finish off Scores," Drake told them.
"I'm right behind you Drake," Trey offered, Drake nodding his head, "I'll move him into position."
"Alright go for it."
Trey got to work, the Data Rail Megazord standing up and grabbing a hold of Scores making the two of them spin around as they struggled against one another. Taking a hold of their weapon, the rangers looked over at the struggling megazord and Viralite, the cyber spinner starting to glow.
"Trey move!" Drake ordered their friend.
"I don't think so rangers," Scores laughed as he moved the Data Rail Megazord in front of him, "you have to go through him to get through me."
"Oh no!" Calder yelped.
"Trey!" Amy exclaimed as they watched the megazord struggle.
"We have to get him out of there," Kris said looking over at Drake, "but Scores has a strong hold on him."
"Take the shot," Trey ordered, the others looking over at his megazord in surprise.
"We can't," Drake replied, "if we do we can destroy you."
"And if you don't then you risk letting the Earth get destroyed," Trey reminded them, "I'm just a small price to pay to save everyone else."
"Don't you say that Trey, don't you dare say that," Amy cried, clenching her fist over her chest.
"You rangers are making me sick with all your yapping," Scores hissed as he charged up his cannon, "so if you won't make a move, I WILL!"
At that proclamation a large ball of energy started to form in front of his cannon arm, the Cyber Max Megazord taking a step forward as the Data Rail struggled against Scores.
"What are we going to do?" Kris asked, unsure of what their next move should be.
"What's it going to be rangers, destroy me and your friend or be destroyed yourself?" Scores asked as the ball started to grow larger.
"Drake take the shot!" Trey told his friend.
"...I'm sorry Trey," Drake muttered as the Cyber Spinner charged up to full power.
"So that's how it's going to be then," Scores observed gleefully, "fine by me, Mega Shot!"
"Cyber Spinner, Final Strike!"
The two attacks flew by each other, the large ball of energy hitting the Cyber Max Megazord while the Cyber Spinner struck both the Data Rail Megazord and Scores. At that time though two large bolts of lightning flew down from the darkened sky and struck all three combatants, effectively destroying Scores as the Viralite was falling from the Cyber Spinner and causing the rangers to be ejected from their zords.
"Whoa!" Calder and Merrick called out as they flipped through the air.
"Ah!" the girls yelled.
"Whoa!" Drake and Trey yelped as before they hit the ground.
As the rangers rolled across the ground they came to a stop and realized that they were able to land in the soccer fields, all of them taking off their helmets as they looked over towards their megazords. To their dismay the megazords were currently in the midst of falling apart, each individual parts alight with fire as they fell to the ground.
"NO!" Kris yelled as she ran forward, Drake and Amy grabbing a hold of her to stop her.
The zords exploded one by one as they hit the ground, the rangers watching as they could do nothing while their zords were destroyed.
"Our...our zords," Calder muttered.
"I can't believe they're gone," Amy whispered, Trey hugging her as she trembled.
"...We can't let this get us down," Drake stated, keeping his hand on Kris's shoulder, "we're not going to let the destruction of the Cyber Riders stop us, we're being invaded by Gridlings and Technos, not to mention we have to stop Alcon from getting from the Cyber World to here."
"Well thanks to that lightning storm the gate only has enough power for one of us to go through," Calder admitted as he pulled out a device and scanned their Cyber Gate, "so what's the plan there?"
"You guys stay here and clear the streets," Drake ordered as he put his helmet back on, "I'll go to the Cyber World and save Jenna and past rangers while seeing if there's something I can do to stop him on that side."
"Are you crazy?" Kris asked stomping her foot as she spun around to face him, "there's no way we're letting you go there by yourself."
"We don't have a choice Kris," Drake said apologetically, "there's only enough power for one of us to go through and…"
"And nothing man," Merrick interjected, "you're our leader, we need you here."
"You don't need me here," Drake countered, "I have faith in all of you that you'll be able to fight off these guys."
"But we still…"
"I'll go," Trey vowed catching the other's attention, "I know the place and I can make my way through it faster than you."
"I get that I really do, but I have more firepower and I'm faster with my saber mode," the red ranger reasoned, "besides I'm going to need you here."
"What?"
"Trey you're a great fighter," Drake smirked, "and I want you here to lead the rangers while I handle things in the Cyber Fortress."
Trey looked at his friend in awe as Drake held out his fist towards him, Trey immobile for a seconds before smirking a shaking his head.
"There's no talking you out of this there?" he chuckled as they bumped their fist together.
"Not really no," Drake admitted with a shrug, "I'm just being logical here."
"Alright then I'll lead the team while you're in there," the sixth rangers agreed, "but you better come back or I'm coming in there for you."
"We all are," Amy affirmed walking over to them.
"I know you will," the red ranger replied giving her a thumbs up, "now then I'm off."
"Not so fast," Trey interjected, pulling out his Cyber Gun, "Take this with you."
"Your Cyber Gun?" Drake muttered taking it, "I...I can't take this."
"Yes you can," Trey stated as he took Drake's Cyber Blaster, "you said you have more fire power in your saber mode, well if you recall the last time you use this with your armor it gave you even more firepower, so take it."
"Right," Drake agreed as he holstered it.
"And take this too," Kris said as she held out her bracelet.
"Kris…"
"Please," she pleaded, "just so I know that you'll come back to return it to me."
Drake nodded and placed Kris's bracelet in his glove, turning to face the newly activated Cyber Gate and charging towards it. As the rangers watched the red ranger vanish in the neon blue light Trey looked at his helmet for a second before hearing the sound of the Viralite minions appearing.
"Alright guys," Trey muttered as they put their helmets back up, Trey switching the Cyber Blaster into saber mode, "let's take these things down!"
