Inside the warehouse Dayu slowly backed away from Destra and Gouche. The Don was glaring angrily at the body at his feet whilst Destra carefully observed the twenty or so women in front of him. The blue ranger had to buy some time, surely her team mates must've heard the gunshot from their position. Knowing Lauren he would leading the charge through the door within a couple of minutes. That might be too long to save the women though, the Gangler's didn't strike her as patient people.

She drew level with Jessi and moved her head as close as she dared, "Something to share ladies", Destra asked them with a smooth voice, "maybe we should give you both a thorough searching. Maybe your employers at SPD are listening to this conversation", he added with venom.

Dayu was about to step forward but she noticed that Jessi's was slowly brushing her hair away from her ear. It was then she noticed something inside the brunette's ear, a small flesh coloured earpiece. That wasn't the only surprising thing, it looked exactly the same as the one's SPD issued. Suddenly Jessi's face steeled into a mask of determination, "Guess im found out", she hissed with a steely tone.

The yellow ranger didn't offer much of a response, she was too surprised to learn that Jesso was SPD. She watched as the brunette slowly stepped forward, her heels clicking on the cold stone floor, "Well well", Destra flashed a predatory smile, "who do we have here? Perhaps you would so kind to identify yourself girly".

Jessi glared at the crime boss casually, "Jessi Parks aka Zenkaiser", she flashed a smile at the man, "Your going to wish i was SPD".

Dayu stared at the brunette in disbelief. She had heard stories of the Zenkaigers, a team of misfit rangers, four of them being robots. They saved the earth numerous times and now one of them was standing in front of her.

The Gangler's and their pordermen weren't so impressed with Jessi, "You've got guts girl", Destra scoffed, "but there's only one of you and lots of us".

"Two of us", Dayu moved to stand beside Jessi, "Dayu,", she flashed her morpher, "fancy taking on two rangers?"

A second gunshot from Destra, this one aimed at the roof stopped their conversation, "So there are two of you, we've still got you outnumbered".

"Oh but we're no ordinary Women", Jessi smirked and turned to Dayu "Dayu you're a ranger correct?"

The mention of the word ranger made a number of guards tense up. Power Rangers were well respected not just on Earth but across the universe. Having a ranger in their midst was bad news, "Correct Jessi", Dayu Confirmed. Jessi placed a gear in her gun and began to wind the lever, "fancy a team up?"

Suddenly something clicked in the back of Dayu's mind, she knew the two tone hairstyle was familiar from her ranger history lessons. The surname, the yellow ranger put all the pieces in place, "It would be an honour", Dayu smiled.

Dayu noticed something flash across a window at the far end of the warehouse, four brightly coloured figures moving in their direction. Seconds later a couple of helmeted head poked through a tiny gap in the door.

Dayu noticed Kong press a single finger against her helmet roughly where her lips would have been. The blue ranger then pointed over to Lauren who was holding up three fingers. Dayu could tell that Jessi had seen this too and shared a brief look. Both Salem and Daniel aimed their weapons towards the Gangler's just as the red ranger counted down on he hand.

When Lauren's countdown reached zero, both Salem and Kong opened fire on the group with stun blasts. With everyone's attention on the momo rangers, it allowed Jessi and Dayu enough time to morph, "Its morphin time" both called out. A flash of light later and Zenkaiser and Oni yellow stood in their place.

A fraction of a second later Dayu and Jessi watched as the pink ranger rolled a couple of small cylinders across the floor in their direction, "Flash bangs", she called over to Jessi. Turning her back, she moved towards the startled potential escorts, "Get down and cover your ears", Dayu shouted.

The stun grenades exploded with a flash of dazzling light and an ear piercing screech. Her suit tuned out the worst effects of the blast but it still made her feel a little uncomfortable. A quick glance to her left told her that Jessi was feeling the same way. The Gangler's, footsoldiers and the girls who didn't follow Dayu's order were feeling the full effect of the grenade. One thug staggered in Dayu's direction, tumbling over her crouched body. The yellow ranger put him out of his misery with a swift punt kick to the head.

A pair of gloved hands pulled her back to her feet and a quick glance at the black spandex told her it was Salem, "Can we put the greeting card moment to one side and deal with these guys", an annoyed sounding Jessi shouted over the general noise of battle. Seeing the rest of the Zenkaigers burst through the door had caused a number of the hired muscle to flee. Those who had stayed to fight were dropping like flies. Jessi herself snagged a large man attempting to run out the rear exit.

"Give it up", Lauren bellowed over the noise, "there's no escape from here".

"I don't need to escape from here", Destra shot back, "I have friends in high places red ranger, I'll be out of here and you know it".

With the rear of the warehouse cleared out, only Destra remained standing. The eldest Gangler generals ducked behind a stack of barrels and started spraying his weapon in the direction of the Rangers, "Damn it we can't get a clean shot", Dayu cursed, trading blasts with Destra.

"Fuck", Destra bellowed from the side of the room, "you rangers will pay for this", he spat viciously. Behind he could reach for his weapon, Dayu stood in his path with a blaster pointed at his head, "Even you would stand in my way?" he said to the yellow ranger.

"Why wouldn't I?" Dayu asked in confusion, "I'm a power ranger"

Destra chuckled darkly, "You and i both know the humans will never accept you, you're a Nylok so start acting like one".

Dayu's arm began to waiver and Lauren wondered what was going through her mind. Her few conversations with the yellow ranger about her fitting in weren't overly positive. The yellow's ranger's finger twitched on the trigger, with the barrel pointed directly at his skull even a stun blast could be fatal. Sensing her friend needed help, Lauren grasped Dayu by her free arm, "Don't, he's just trying to get to you".

"It's working", Destra's smile twisted into a malevolent grin.

Fortunately she was saved from further torment by The don grabbing Destra and disappearing, "It wasn't all true Dayu, that stuff that Gangler said".

"Maybe this isn't the place for this conversation", Lauren suggested as she, approached the other rangers, "I assume a full debriefing will be given", there was a brief pause before she added, "whoever you are".

Jessi smiled " Jessi Parks, Zenkaiser". She smiled at the other rangers, "There, now we know each other better". She walked towards the rear entrance, "Thank you for the help if you ever need help you can count on the Zenkaigers".

"I like her", Daniel said as he demorphed.

"You would", Salem snorted and followed his team mates example.

Kong meanwhile gently rubbed Dayu's back in an attempt to comfort the yellow ranger. Her world had been severely shaken. "Don't listen to that idiot Matthews", Kong attempted to comfort his team mate, "you kicked everyone's ass. You earned your place on this team."

"I appreciate your effort Kong but I think I want to be alone for a while". She powered down her suit fully and walked away, shoulders slumped in defeat. A heavy feeling washed over Lauren, someone she cared about was hurting and there wasn't a single thing she could do about it.
