Gingaku Brainworld.

Coiloga and Tricerodo were looking around Dr. Cerebron's lab. "Nice place you've got here, Doc.", the former noted. "If this is where our empire's weapons all come from, then I'm assured of our continued subjugation."

"If only those pesky Rangers weren't a problem.", Tricerodo said as she skipped around the lab. She came to a stop on a black-coloured gauntlet with a purple frame. "Now what's this little beauty? It looks like the equipment the Rangers use to Morph."

"That's because I derived it from their Morphers and Cosmo Spheres.", Cerebron informed her. "Lord Gingaku wants an army of Cosmo Sphere powered warriors. And the notes I've taken from studies made on the Yellow Ranger's equipment, combined with the findings the Orange Ranger "provided" us with, I've begun to approach a prototype."

"Speaking of the Rangers, I wonder what Katseayor requested you build for him.", Coiloga said, changing the subject. "He made it seem like a game-changer."

"Oh you'll find out soon enough.", Cerebron laughed. "And then the Fire Knight and the Rangers will be no more."

Earth Orbit.

Katseayor was greeted by a modified Commanaga. This one resembled MechaHiver, but possessed a pink scarf instead of a yellow one and the helmet was black, with the three dots now a set of lenses. "Mechamera at your service, sir."

Katseayor wasn't impressed. "You don't seem like the powerful fighter I requested.", he noted. "And forgive me if I sound insensitive, but you modified Commanagas don't have the best record."

"Oh I'm not the delivery, I'm the deliverer.", Mechamera clarified. "Like you said, we're considered second rate by most of Gingaku. I'm being forced to travel the universe and record interesting incidents for people's entertainment."

Katseayor had an idea. "Is that so? Then I can not only assure you a good show, but you'll get a chance to go out in the battlefield once more." He turned around, but continued talking. "After all, the more forces I have at my disposal, the weaker the Fire Knight will be."

Providence Base.

Winda had gathered everyone except Proton in the meeting room, so that she could share the latter's backstory. "It would be best if you didn't share this with Mr. Jennings.", she said. "He seemed very determined to keep it a secret."

"I knew I had seen him somewhere before.", the Commander pondered. "He was all over the local news when I was a kid. Kyle Jennings came from Newinthal like me and my brother. He was big talk in the military."

"And in the astronaut training program.", Yuri added. "The guy was my inspiration and now he's on the same side as us, fighting the same enemies."

"It's strange how you only remember whatever you need during random moments.", Slash commented.

"Who remembers what?", Proton asked as he came in. "Is this a private event, or can anyone join in?"

"No, no come in.", Drago said, as everyone did nervous "we're not hiding anything" hand gestures. "We were just discussing… these three new enemies that attacked the base with Dark Soul."

"Exactly.", Mila improvised. "If only we knew more about them."

"Oh that's easy, I know quite a bit about them.", Proton replied, as he went up to the table and brought up footage of the three. "Those guys are Gingaku's personal minions, from my old conflict with him long ago. All three prefer different tacts. For instance, Katseayor here prefers to just attack in force, while the enemy's guard is down."

As he said this, a nearby sensor went off. Myron went over to the terminal and inspected it. "Well let's just see how forceful this Katseayor guy really is.", he commented. "Because his ship is descending towards London right now."

London, England.

Katseayor and Mechamera walked through the streets, scaring off people as they approached. "These humans are wise to flee.", Mechamera noted. "For once we defeat the Rangers on a galactic broadcast, we're going to take this planet back for Gingaku."

"Stow you're enthusiasm, Mechamera.", Katseayor stated. "The Rangers' stolen Control Gear is right over there." But as he pointed, he realised that the area he was trying to indicate had been replaced with a crater, which was now being filled in by a construction crew. "No, where did they go?", he fumed.

Providence Base.

"Katseayor's almost at the site of our base… or would be if we hadn't moved it to Corona City after the last attack.", Myron noted, as everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "We're lucky he didn't figure out we'd do something like this."

"Or that we'd pick the first city we liberated to flee to.", Barry added.

"I'd hate to break the bad news to you, but this bears mentioning.", Pamela interjected. She then brought up a newsfeed, showing Katseayor and Mechamera launching their attacks on innocent people. "They're not turning away because we weren't there. If anything, they're turning on the people.

"We have to get there.", Jiro urged. He ran over to Drago. "Come on, let's spin that wheel of yours. Who's stayin' behind this time?"

"We don't need to have anyone stay behind.", Scales informed him. "Thanks to the security systems in this structure, all of us can leave the people here behind without having to worry about their safety."

"Well, that sounds alright.", Commander Goodman said. "Well, get going then."

The Rangers all nodded and set out. "Good luck, everyone.", Pamela said.

London, England.

As Katseayor and Mechamera continued their rampage, the latter began narrating. "This is your reporter Mechamera reporting live from a prominent captital on Earth, where I am on a rampage with Right General Katseayor, Lord Gingaku's recently returned-from-exile elite bodyguard. In the absence of the Power Rangers, we have decided to turn our anger onto these people, who were foolish enough to believe they were safe from our oppression."

Gingaku Brainworld.

Coiloga, Tricerodo and Cerebron watched the scene play out on their receiver. "This is what my modified Commanagas were made for, not something as meaningless as television reporting.", Cerebron said, laughing.

"Yes, but it's a shame those Rangers weren't there to lose to dear Mechamera.", Tricerodo lamented.

"I'm not surprised.", Coiloga commented. "I didn't expect those Rangers to stay in the area after we attacked them. They were smart to leave the area altogether."

Mechamera's report continued, "Ladies and gentle-creatures, we have a not-so-surprise development. Some of the Rangers have shown up to face us, including their newest member, the mysterious Fire Knight."

"I see you're still not above dirty tactics.", Proton declared as he pointed at Katseayor. "Leave these people alone, it's me you're after, isn't it?"

"Yes, Fire Knight.", Katseayor fumed. "I still haven't forgotten what you did to me back then. For decades, I have waited, prepared to take my revenge. And now you show up, right where I can finally destroy you."

The other 5 Rangers that had arrived with Proton, Yuri, Jiro, Slash, Mila and Winda, all reacted to this. "I assume you have a history with this guy?", Yuri asked.

Proton nodded. "There's a reason he's sporting that fetching ball and chain instead of his left hand."

"Hey, where'd the others go?", Jiro asked. "Didn't we all set off at the same time?"

"They appear to have landed in a nearby area.", Winda answered. "Known locally as 'Lewisham'."

Katseayor laughed at this. "Why thank you. Now my project can make short work of the rest of them." He then turned to Proton. "And you, Fire Knight. Working with the Rangers. Is your camaraderie so fickle?" This caused Proton to get a look of shock on his face, as in image of a birdman appeared in his mind's eye.

Lewisham, England.

"Okay, so I may have been slightly off with the coordinates.", Drago said sheepishly.

"'Slightly'?", Myron repeated incredulously. "There's no evidence that Katseayor even walked through here, let alone attacked it."

As if on cue, the ground began to shake. "Um, what was that?", Scales asked.

"I've felt something like this before.", Tarrant said with a sense of dread. "But it can't be."

As if on cue, a familiar shape emerged from the ground, growling at the Rangers. "It's a Terrorvore, like the one from before.", Barry exclaimed.

"Actually, this one's skin is made of some kind of alloy.", Cobras pointed out. "It's a robot."

"A robot Terrorvore, eh?", Scales noted. He then clicked his fingers. "I've got it. A Robovore."

"Never mind what to call it.", Myron said as he jumped out of the way of the Robovore's charge. "We need to work on surviving it and reuniting with the others."

"Well then, what're we waiting for?", Drago asked as he pulled out his Cosmo Sphere. "Gentlemen, it's Morphing Time!"

Everyone nodded, before doing likewise. All inserted their Spheres into their Morphers. "Cosmic Energy, Unleash!" Everyone initiated their Morph sequence. After it's completion, they struck a battle pose, before charging towards the Robovore, weapons out.

Back in the city square, the other 6 Rangers were still standing off with Katseayor and Mechamera. "Alright guys, we'll fight them on my call.", Yuri indicated. "One, two…." But before he could get to three, Proton took off running towards the enemy. "What the heck, man?"

"I don't take orders from you.", Proton said as he began grappling with Mechamera. "Or anyone." He summoned his Galaxy Saber and inserted his Cosmo Sphere into it. "Rise! Change!" He pulled out the sword, transforming into the Fire Knight, before continuing the fight.

Yuri sighed. "Ok then, we'll have to try and salvage an attack plan without Proton. Are you guys ready?" Everyone nodded in agreement. "Then it's Morphing Time!" Everyone pulled out their Cosmo Spheres and summoned their Morphers. "Cosmic Energy, Unleash!" Everyone was instantly morphed, and all went in for the attack.

Katseayor threw his ball and chain at them, which the Rangers narrowly dodged, before launching their attacks at his chest. "Pfft, I've had flu worse than this.", the General bragged. As Winda launched her attack, Katseayor looked up at her in the air. "Keeping your distance won't help you, fool." He threw his weapon at her position, catching her in his chain. "Oh you'll make a good starting point to my collection."

"Leave her alone.", Yuri called out as he brought his Cosmo Saber down on the chain. While it wasn't enough to cut through the chain, it was enough to slack them off enough for Winda to break free.

"Thanks, Yuri.", she said. "Now I can keep on the attack." She fired her Cosmo Blaster at the nearby Mechamera, knocking him back as he was fighting Proton.

"I was handling that.", Proton yelled at her in an annoyed tone.

"You could try saying 'thank you' when we save your ungrateful hide.", Mila shouted back at him.

But Proton ignored her, instead going over to Mechamera. "Now then, I noticed the recording device embedded in your helmet.", he said. "What's its range?" He pointed his sword at the enemy to emphasise his point.

"We're going out throughout the universe.", Mechamera blurted out nervously. "Even Lord Gingaku himself could see us."

"Then in that case, I've got a good scoop for you." Proton pulled the modified Commanaga towards him, speaking directly into the lens. "Peoples of the universe, please attend carefully. Don't try adjusting your set, because what I'm about to say needs to be said."

Planet Psyga-6.

The people stopped in their work to view the mammal who had appeared on their screens. "Gingaku may think they hold absolute, unremovable power. But they're wrong. Because I'm standing on the one planet hat dared to say 'no'. And you can say it too. You just have to stand up and overthrow your oppressors."

"Ay, he speaks the truth.", one of the workers declared. "We are free men, not slaves."

"Down with the Gingaku Clan." The workers all stood up and proceeded to attack the Detainers.

Gingaku Brainworld.

In his chamber, Gingaku and Dark Soul watched as Proton's message continued. "And 'Lord Gingaku', if you think you safe and snug, wherever you're hiding, then you're wrong. Because I'm coming for you. And this time, there won't be enough of you left to put on my toast."

Gingaku fumed as he saw this. "That insolent… destroy him!"

"Even better, you can do it yourself.", Dark Soul indicated a remote control. "You can override Mechamera's CPU and take control of his body."

"Good.", Gingaku wheezed. "I'll do it."

Back on Earth, Mechamera's eyes glowed red and he knocked Proton back. "You insolent whelp. Your broadcast has been cancelled."

"I know that voice.", Proton realised. "So instead of facing me yourself, you've taken over your poor underling. How very in-character, Gingaku."

The other Rangers stopped fighting Katseayor, taking in this fact. "Can he do that?", Mila asked.

"Apparently he can.", Winda responded.

"Enough stalling.", the Gingaku-possessed Mechamera declared as he summoned a regular Commanaga's weapon, firing on the Rangers and knocking them back. "Now Katseayor, trigger this body's growth implant."

"As you command.", Katseayor threw his ball at the growth implant, damaging it and causing Mechamera to enlarge. "And I'll spice things up by adding in a a Gearoid." A Dark Gear teleported in and transformed. "Finally, I'll bring in my creation."

In Lewisham, the Robovore stopped beating up Cobras and began burrowing underground. "We need to follow and neutralise that thing.", Cobras wheezed as he got back up."

"Good idea.", Drago said as he pulled out his staff. "Summon Zords."

The six summoned their respective Zords and flew off.

In London, the giant Robovore emerged from the ground. "Is that a robot Terrorvore?", Jiro asked.

"Looks like it.", Slash pointed out. "That means we have three opponents to take out."

"Correction, two opponents.", Proton stated. "That Commanaga is mine." He inserted his sword into his shield, holding the trigger. "Voyager, Take Off!"

"Summon Zords!", the rest of the Rnagers announced as they pushed their Cosmo Spheres to the right.

Proton's shuttle and satellite linked up. "Fire Voyager Megazord, ready!"

"Don't leave us out of this.", Drago called out as the other 6 Zords showed up. As they did so, a light emerged from the twelve Zords, plus a thirteenth light being shot out from a distant planet towards Earth.

Something appeared on the ground. "I'll check that out.", Myron insisted. "Tarrant, Scales, with me."

The rest of the Zords continued their combination. The Lion Zord combined with Yellow as the right arm, Pink as the left arm, Green as the right leg and Blue as the left leg. "Cosmo Megazord, ready!"

The Dragon Zord combined with the Bear Zord as the right arm and the Serpent Zord as the left arm. "Dragon Star Megazord, ready!"

"Let's show this guy what we can do.", Yuri declared.

"Especially in a full three on three.", Drago added.

The three Megazords stood side-by-side, facing their opponents. "Now this is a fair fight.", Proton noted as he registered the other two. "I think we'll change our plans up."

The Fire Voyager faced down the Robovore, the Dragon Star grappled with the Gearoid and the Cosmo Megazord faced down Mechamera. "Let's show Proton what real teamwork is.", Drago said as his Megazord and Yuri's punched the Gearoid at the same time. The two then initiated their finishers. "Cosmic Dragon Double Blast!"

The two attacks hit Mechamera, engulfing him in frames. "This is only the beginning.", Gingaku's voice threatened. "I'll be back." And then the body was destroyed.

The Gearoid turned back into a Dark Gear, it's AI choosing to retreat rather than face destruction. "That's not going to happen.", Winda declared. The Eagle arm detached as the Serpent took its place. The Eagle Zord then transformed and clamped onto the back. "Cosmo Megazord Winger Formation, ready!" The Megazord then flew up into the air, delivering a slash to the Dark Gear that destroyed it.

"This Space is ours, Winda.", Slash said.

"Thank you, Slash.", Winda saluted.

Down on the ground, Proton took note of this while wrestling with the Robovore. "I can't let myself look sloppy.", he said as he pushed his opponent back. He then delivered several slashes of his swords to the automaton. But it reflected most of the damage. "This is a tough one.", he thought "But it's nothing I can't handle." The Fire Satellite detached from the combination and began spinning, using the force to cut off the Robovore's heads and arms, before recombining. Now the Fire Voyager could damage its opponent. "Let's end this.", Proton stated as he pulled his sword out of his shield. "Burning End!" He delivered twin slashes to the Robovore, finishing it for good. "Now that was hot.", he commented.

Katseayor watched as the three robots stood triumphant. "This was merely phase one of the real plan.", he commented. "My real secret weapon has arrived currently."

Gingaku Brainworld.

The scene that had played out had been witnessed in Cerebron's lab as well. "Another of my creations wasted.", Cerebron lamented. "And by Lord Gingaku himself, of all people."

"Oh, I wouldn't call it 'wasted'", Tricerodo assured him. "In fact, you've made me want my own modified Commanaga. But you'll have to assure me that you can meet my specifications."

As Cerebron took an interest in this, Coiloga observed a report from his construction sight. "So, there was a strange light emerging from my project. A lot like the light that appeared on Earth when the Rangers' Zords were all assembled. Very interesting."

London, Earth.

Myron and his team found the item they were looking for. "It's a Cosmo Sphere.", he realised. As he picked it up, he took notice of the symbol on it. It was the symbols of all twelve individual Rangers, plus a thirteenth symbol. "What could this mean?", he asked the other two."

"Search me.", Scales answered as he did a confused gesture with his hands. Then everyone reacted as they heard a noise. "Who's there?"

"Yeah, come out and show yourself.", Tarrant demanded. But the presence instead let out long, prehensile hair that grabbed Tarrant and pulled him towards it effortlessly. "Ah, help me!", he called out. But the others were helpless as he was consumed by the presence.

Myron decided to charge towards the presence, but he too was grabbed by it. "Scales, get out of here, warn the others.", he urged as the creature swallowed him as well. Scales didn't honk twice about retreating, as the creature began laughing.
