Chapter 3

On the Bridge of the MegaShip, Max watched as the viewscreen filled with stars. "A.G. fields are on-line," the Ranger at Engineering-William "Billy" Cranston, the original Mighty Morphin' Blue Ranger-said. "We are being hailed by spay-stay (space station) operations," Ashley said. "Unknown craft, stand to for inspection," a female voice said. Max nodded. "Acknowledged, LibertyControl. Chad, all stop." Chad nodded. "Controls to full stop, sir."

The shuttle from the spay-stay docked with the MegaShip. In the landing bay, Max, Andros and Zeniba stood in the control room, waiting for the bay to re-pressurize. Finally, D.E.C.A.'s voice said, "The landing bay is re-pressurized." Max was the first to meet the shuttle's pilot. "Hello, Zenon." Zenon Kar smiled as she shook Max's hand. "Congratulations, Max." "Thanks, Zee. I'd like you to come to my wedding in six days," Max said after checking his watch. "I'm sure Commander Plank, Aunt Judy, Dasha, Margie, Nebula and I can attend," Zenon said. Zeniba pulled five invitations from her satchel. "Here are invitations for each of you," Zeniba said. "Present them to the foreman at the Tsukiji bathhouse for entry." Zenon took the invitations from Zeniba. "I'll see you at the wedding," Zenon said. "Farewell until then," Max said.

The Crane Zord flew over the mountains of Mordovia. Roxanne pushed the blue button, then grasped the control stick. "I hope Ariel has some advice I can actually use," she said to herself. As the Crane Zord landed, Roxanne looked up the file on Ariel:

Name: Princess Ariel

Age: 30

Duties: Princess of Mordovia

Marital Status: Married to Prince Eric, ruler of Mordovia

Other: Former mermaid and Princess of Atlantica

Roxanne smiled as the Crane Zord came to a stop. She powered down, then dressed in Mordovian peasantry and borrowed a horse from a nearby farm.

As Roxanne rode the horse into town, she saw an eerie green portal deposit seven people (4 men, 3 women) into an alley. Roxanne rode the horse into the alley to investigate. "Who are you?" she asked. "I am Eric Bischoff, General Manager of the Raw brand of World Wrestling Entertainment. Where are we?" Roxanne smiled. "I am Roxanne D. Martin. You are in the monarchy of Mordovia." A man standing behind Bischoff said, "Mordovia? Never heard of it." "You're in a world far beyond the one you know, Chris Benoit," Roxanne said. "If you seven wish to survive, you must do as I say." Roxanne stood from her horse and pushed a button on her communicator. Roxanne, Bischoff, Benoit, and the other people disappeared.

On the Astro MegaShip, Max had just returned to the Bridge from seeing Zenon off, when D.E.C.A. said, "Intruder alert! Intruder alert! " Max stood from the command chair. "Location, D.E.C.A.?" Max asked. "Landing Bay 2," D.E.C.A. said. "Kira, Ethan, Tommy, Connor, with me. Andros, you have the Bridge," Max said. Tommy, Ethan, Kira Ford and Connor McKnight followed Max off the Bridge.

In the control room, Max grabbed weapons from an armory locker and handed them to the DinoThunder Rangers. "Let's see who our guests are," Max said. "D.E.C.A., raise light levels in Landing Bay 2 by 75." The lights came up, revealing... "I know those guys," Kira-the Yellow DinoThunder Ranger-said. "Those are WWE Smackdown G.M. Kurt Angle and six of his top wrestlers! I auditioned to sing Mr. Angle's new theme song last month!" Max turned to Connor and Ethan. "Get back to the Bridge." He turned back to Angle. "Kira, Tommy and I'll take it from here."

"So, let me get this straight," Angle said. "Portals, like those that brought us here, have been opening up all over your world. And, you feel that the only way we all can get home is for your and Roxanne's wedding to occur at the House of Mouse?" "No," Kira said. "We must ensure that Max and Roxanne's wedding occurs... period. We have it on very good authority that some evil forces are gonna attempt to disrupt the ceremony. Everyone who has come through a portal must attend the ceremony." Max opened his communicator. "Max to Bridge. Do a world-wide sensor scan for all individuals with a quantum signature different than ours and teleport them to Landing Bay 3 when we get there. Goof, out."

When Max, Kira and the Smackdown wrestlers got to Landing Bay 3, Max pressed a button on his communicator. "Energize." Seven towers of white energy resolved into the Raw wrestlers. A pink tower resolved into the Pink Ranger. "Thank you, Pink Ranger," Max said. "You're welcome," the Pink Ranger said. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mission to finish." As the Pink Ranger teleported away, Max said to Kira, "You know what, Kira? That sounded like Roxanne."

Back in Mordovia, Roxanne resolved from the teleport beam, then powered down. She got back on the horse and rode through the village square. At the castle gates, a guard stood watch. "Halt," the guard said. "Who goes there?" "I am Roxanne Martin, and I am here to pay homage to Princess Ariel.," Roxanne said. The guard leaned into the guard shack, where a decree from Princess Ariel was posted:

TO ALL GUARDS:

If a person matching this image approaches you, (An image of Roxanne)and claims to be Roxanne Martin, ask her: "When did you start loving Maximilian Goof?" (Answer: "When I first heard him laugh 'A-hyuck! '") If the answer matches, let him pass.

Princess Ariel

The guard looked at Roxanne and said, "When did you start to love Max Goof?" "I have to know this since I'm marrying the big lug ," Roxanne said. "When I first heard him laugh 'A-hyuck,' of course." The guard nodded. "Proceed."

Roxanne hitched the horse to a post, then found Princess Ariel. She was moaning in pain. "MEDIC!" Roxanne yelled. She then pushed a button on his communicator. "If anyone can hear me, this is Roxanne Martin in Mordovia Sector. Locate Prince Eric and teleport him here at once!" A tower of white energy resolved into Prince Eric as royal medics approached.

A few minutes earlier, on the Astro MegaShip, Max, Eric Bischoff and Kurt Angle were discussing the Alliance Of Evil (more on them in Chapter 4), when Ashley's voice came on the comm. "Max, we've got a situation. A transmission was detected on an unknown frequency in Mordovia Sector. It's Roxanne. She requests a location and transport on Prince Eric." Max looked at the picture of Roxanne on his desk. "Do what she says. I think it's about Ariel."

A few hours later, Ariel and Eric were the proud parents of a baby girl, which they named Roxanne. As the royal medics examined Baby Roxanne, Ariel smiled at Roxanne. "So, Roxanne, what did you want to talk about?" she asked. Roxanne looked at Baby Roxanne. "I wanted to ask your advice on married life," she said. "So, you and Max are finally settling down," Ariel said in a voice weakened by the stress of childbirth. "Yeah," Roxanne said. Ariel smiled. " I remember when Eric and I got married. It was the happiest day of my life. That is, until I had Melody." A little girl came in. "You called, Mother?" the girl asked. Ariel nodded. "Yes, I did, Melody. Give Roxanne the package." Melody picked up a pink-wrapped package from the table and handed it to Roxanne. "Do not open it until your wedding day," Ariel said. Roxanne had a quizzical look on her face. "The advice you seek is in that package," Ariel said. Roxanne nodded, then pushed a button on her communicator. "Crane Zord, energize." Roxanne disappeared.

In the cockpit of the Crane Zord, Roxanne stashed the package in the cargo area. The image of Ariel disappeared. "Computer, set course for Loftonia Sector (Beauty and the Beast,1991)," Roxanne said. As the engines lit up, Roxanne wondered to herself, "I wonder what's in that package." Roxanne smiled. "I won't have long to wait to find out."
