Dulcea stood at her door, leaning on the wall beside it. Rocky and Adam were inside, discussing what had been going on, and what Adam had did to release the spell.
"I don't know how much stress there can possibly be," thought Dulcea, "but I bet Adam feels like he has all of it."
"So.. this new power is my Ninjetti Guardian?" Rocky asked, standing at the window with his arms crossed. He had been given a new wardrobe by Dulcea - she had managed to buy some from the nicest store they could of found. He didn't want to ask how she got the money, because he felt like he didn't want to know.
He was now dressed in a burgundy colored shirt with gray trim along the bottom of the sleeves and the neck. Large, gray letters (AFSC) and smaller gray words (1972, Gilgo Beach Classic) decorated the front. His pants were long and baggy with brown-colored fading on them.
"Yes, that is what Dulcea says," replied Adam.
"Well," Rocky said, coming to sit beside Adam, "what are we supposed to do?"
"I guess we'll have to get close enough to the rest of the group so that we can do what I did to you," Adam said.

"Damn it!" yelled Ivan, pounding his fists on the marble stands that stood beside his throne. The four rangers stood in front of him, their hearts pounding, their adrenaline rushing.
"We're sorry," said Aisha, "but now that Rocky is with him, we can't beat them."
"Then you'll need some help," Ivan said. On cue, the five people who had approached Adam in the café walked in. They turned and stood in front of Ivan's throne, looking at the other four rangers.
"Who are you?" snapped Kimberly.
"I'm Xander. These are Kane, Grant, Aura and Suki. We're here to succeed where you have failed," said the guy in the middle, wearing red.
"And this is a promise - the two you are seeking will be no more," said Grant, wearing black.
"Alright, S-Force Rangers! GO!" yelled Ivan. The five rangers crossed their hands in an X formation, then extended them.
"S- Force One, Red!" yelled Xander.
"S-Force Two, Blue!" yelled Kane.
"S-Force Three, Black!" yelled Grant.
"S-Force Four, Yellow!" yelled Aura.
"S-Force Five, Pink!" yelled Suki. The new rangers were in white-and-colored suits, and each had a gold plated "S" on their chest. A holster on their belts held the white guns from before, and their helmets were each designed differently.
"Goodbye," said Xander, as they disappeared in a blur of their respective colors.
***
Adam, Rocky and Dulcea stood in an alley; they had decided that anywhere other than her apartment is safe. For now. Adam and Rocky were leaning on the brick walls on eight side of the slender alley. Both were tired and aching from their last battle.
It was night now, or so said Dulcea and Rocky. Adam didn't really know - all he could tell was that the sky was slightly darker.
"So, what are we going to do exactly?" asked Adam. "Are we going to go attack Ivan - or wait for them to come to us."
"Either way," began Dulcea, "it is very dangerous."
"No wonder," said Rocky, "only God knows what Ivan can do."
***
Xander, Kane, Tej, Aura and Suki stood on the building that made up one side of the alley that Adam and company were taking up. It wasn't long before they attacked, but because they were doing this suddenly, the attack would be unorganized and messy.
"We need some type of plan," said Aura.
"Do you have something in mind?" said Tej, in a "well-if-it's-that-important-then-do-it-yourself" tone of voice.
"Not at the moment, Tej," Aura snapped.
"That's enough," commanded Xander, "what we don't need is a civil war. But getting down to business - we can't approach either of them. You saw what happened to Rocky. If we let either one of them touch us, particularly Adam, we will be under their spell. That means a long range attack - and if we do it from all sides, they won't know how to defend themselves."
"Right," the rangers said. They all jumped separate ways to other buildings.
***
Adam was thinking. A lot. How was he going to get back to the right universe, let alone to Ivan. The rangers he once knew were way too powerful. Abnormally powerful. They had been able to call their Ninjetti Guardians, but that was only once. Could they do it again if necessary? Could they defend themselves if they ever called the zords? Did they have zords?
All of this was rushing through his head, at an amazing rate - almost too fast for Adam to react. But his thoughts were scattered when a red laser shot down in front of them group, causing all three to scramble for protection. He looked up a building; there, he saw a person dressed in a red ranger suit he had never seen.
It was red, of course, with white trimming the top of the boots, with a stripe to the toe. White also came down on the chest in a V, and covered most of the arms and some of the gloves, which held a small, white gun. The helmet was entirely red, except for white lines defining it and a black visor below a black, up-side down triangle.
"Who the hell was that?" yelled Rocky, ducking behind a box of crates.
"I don't know," replied Dulcea, "but I don't think he's here to help." As on cue, two more laser shots, one blue and one pink, fired towards the group. After that, two more, one black and one yellow. Four other rangers - with the same suit as the red, only with different colors and shapes on their helmets, stood on the buildings surrounding them.
"Who are you?" yelled Adam.
"That's for us to know," said the red one, and then he stopped like he was thinking. "Oh, wait, you'll never find out! We'll kill you before you ever will." With that, the five strangers laughed.
"Whatever," said Rocky, standing up with Adam. "You won't be happy with your decision." The duo walked to the middle of the alley and extended their left arms. They each twisted their wrists, and their morphers were summoned.
"Heaven Illusion Star Ranger Power!" they yelled in unison, morphing into their suits. The summoned their sabers and prepared for battle.
"Come and get us," said Rocky, motioning to the red ranger. Adam nudged him in the stomach.
"Remember, bro, they have us surrounded. We will have to watch each other's back. And remember, these aren't Tommy and the other's: we might have an advantage." he whispered. Rocky nodded, and turned around, his back touching Adam's.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" asked Rocky.
***
Xander chuckled inside of his helmet. What were they waiting for? Ha! Like we didn't know what they could do if they could touch us. Xander watched as his teammates looked towards him, as in doubt if his plan would work.
"Don't worry," he whispered into his communicator, which was planted into the mouthpiece of the helmet. "This will work."
"If you're so strong," yelled Kane, "then why don't you attack from where you are?"
"You heard them, bro," said Rocky. Both rangers nodded, then dismissed their swords. They each brought their hands together, and orbs of their respective colors began to form.
"Now!" yelled Xander. On cue, the five S-Force Rangers launched a mirage of lasers on the Green and Red Rangers, who had to cancel their attacks, and run out of the alley, along with Dulcea.
"Alright, guys, this is where it gets tricky," said Xander as they made their way to the street. "We can't let them touch us."
***
Adam and Rocky guarded themselves with their sabers as the new ranger team circled them on the street. Back to back, they were ready to fight any time.
"Let's go," yelled Adam, as they separated and jumped into the air. They extended their sabers and prepared to either be thrown over a shoulder or defended against, but instead, they watched as the rangers flipped backwards, as if avoiding them.
"What the?" asked Rocky, looking back at Adam and seeing they did the same thing.
"What is your problem?" yelled Adam, frustrated. They wouldn't tell them who they were, and now they wouldn't fight.
"Nothing," said the red ranger. All five stranger-rangers drew their lasers once more and began to fire, making Adam and Rocky retreat into another alley.
"I don't know how much stress there can possibly be," thought Dulcea, "but I bet Adam feels like he has all of it."
"So.. this new power is my Ninjetti Guardian?" Rocky asked, standing at the window with his arms crossed.
