Episode 2: Chapter 1

The Centaur Ranger was just about ready to destroy Leo for good, when a Stingwinger materialized beside him. The Stingwinger whispered something to his ears, which the Centaur Ranger didn't like. The Centaur Ranger practically growled at the Stingwinger, who flew away quickly in fear of being destroyed. The Centaur Ranger sheathed his Trio Saber back on his belt. And faced Leo.

"Well, I guess that is your lucky day Red Ranger. But don't worry, I'll be back!" he slowly faded away in dark light, leaving the injured Leo on the floor.

"It's incredible!" said a woman.

"Unbelievable!" added another man.

"It sure is." Said Kendrix.

In the lab, the Galaxy Book was turning brighter by the second. It began making hissing sounds and sending sparks all over. A man in protective suit took it into an isolated chamber made of reinforced glass, they couldn't take any chances. They needed the head scientists to examine it as soon as possible. Only problem is- only one of them was present.

"Sorry for being late!" said Chris while rushing into the lab. He quickly put on a protective suit, and both he and Kendrix stepped into the isolated chamber.

Kendrix and Chris examined the book, which was still sending sparks and making hissing sounds. Kendrix tried to pick it up with her hand, but it was so hot it made a burn that went through the suit and made a burn mark on her hand.

"Are you alright?" asked Chris.

"Sure, I'm perfectly fine. Let's go on." She quickly answered, holding her hand close to her body.

"Well, it seems that this 'Galaxy Book' has some sort of an unexplained power in it. I wonder, have you ever opened it?" asked Chris.

"A few times, why do you ask?" answered Kendrix.

"No reason…" he replied. He used pliers made of strong rubber to open the book and go through its pages. One of the pages showed a sketch of five Galactabeasts. Kendrix choked for a second.

"What is it?" the confused Chris asked, quickly turning to see her.

"Nothing, nothing. I just… have something important to do…" she said, and quickly ran out. She took of her protective suit and ran to a hidden corner.

"Guys, quick, we need to meet. Come to my room, something seriously weird is going here." She said to her Transmorpher, sending the transmission to the fellow Rangers.

Not too long later on Kai, Damon and Maya got into Kendrix' room. Five minutes later, so did Mike, who carried a heavily wounded Leo on his shoulders.

"What happened to him?" the worried Maya asked.

"Another… oh… Ranger… ouch… Saber… Too strong…uh …" said the gasping Leo, barely managing to talk.

Mike put him on the bed.

"That guy was vicious," said Mike, "He hit me from behind and knocked me out on the first hit. He wanted Leo.

"Man…" said Damon, putting his hand on his forehead, "I guess you were right, the sabers did get to the wrong hands."

"You know what that means, don't you?" said Kai, looking at the others, his face showed his fear, "Three sabers, three new Rangers."

They all turned to look at Leo, who already went unconscious. They then looked at each other, and they all agreed on the same thing- from now on, nobody is going alone.

Three hours later, Leo woke up. He found himself at the medical deck in the Megaship. His stomach was wrapped in bandages, and a few bruises were seen on his body. He tried to get up, only to feel more pain.

Alpha walked into the room, holding a tray with food on it, it was probably about time for lunch.

"No! Don't get up Leo, you're not well. Here, I got you some breakfast, eat." Said Alpha.

"I'm fine Alpha, there's no need to worry me." He replied, and tried to get up again. He finally managed to sit on the bed. He held his Transmorpher close to his mouth, and called: "Mike, Damon, Kai, Maya, Kendrix, do you copy?

"Leo, stay in bed and rest," replied Kendrix, "don't worry about us, we're alright and we're watching each other's back. You're safe on the Megaship, stay there."

Needless to say how unpleased it made him, but he always respected Kendrix' advice.

"What do you mean we are missing Stingwingers?" the furious Trakeena asked Kegler, while shaking his barrel-like body. Poor Kegler fell to the floor, and started rolling on the ground. Villamax, who heard Trakeena's yelling, ran into the room, and helped his friend to his feet.

"Yes my princess, I'm afraid it is so. I can't explain it, but three hundred Stingwingers are missing." Said the terrified Kegler, while quickly hiding behind his friend Villamax.

"My princess," Villamax interfered, "No need to lose your temper. I shall go and investigate what happened to those Stingwingers."

"You do so, and I shall punish the one responsible!" said Trakeena, as she began laughing evilly.

"Yes my princess!" replied Villamax, and bowed in a gesture of respect.

"That's what you think 'princess', the time has come to destroy you, even without the cocoon!" mumbled Deviot to himself, hiding behind one of the walls.

Somewhere, not too far from Terra Venture, a small crack in space was created.
