I would like to dedicate this episode to two of my friends who passed away this week in separate car accidents. Katie Ernstes 1990-2006, and Chase Hubler 1989-2006. May God bless you both and the ones you knew.

Episode 13 – Let's Rocket Part 1

A group of people was throwing a Frisbee around in the park. Some of the people would dive to catch it. The group of people kept passing it around in an extreme rules game of Ultimate Frisbee.

"Yeah, we scored!" Jeff yelled as he high-fived a teammate.

The Frisbee was flying toward a tree. Jeff charged toward it, and ran up and spring-boarded off to catch it while coming to a land rolling.

On a vegetated jungle of a planet, four cloaked figures walked on the edge of a cliff. They were surveying the area below them, which was currently inhabited by Rage, two Super Crunks, and an army of normal Crunks.

"We got to get down there," the cloaked leader said.

"Yeah, if we don't we'll be history," the girl next to him said.

Each figure pulled their cloak off to reveal themselves. Andros was the leader followed by Ashley, Karone, and Zhane.

"Let's Rocket!" they all shouted.

Andros morphed into the Red Space Ranger. Ashley was Yellow, Zhane was Silver, and Karone was Pink.

The four rangers jumped, flipped and landed in front of Rage and the Crunks.

Their sudden entrance startled Rage. "More rangers?"

"You're not taking the Ziarian Force Rings," Andros yelled.

"And let me guess, you are going to stop me?" Rage mocked them.

Zhane, Ashley and Karone charged the Crunks, with Andros taking on Rage. Rage who was armed with the Sword of Despair fought gallantly against the Red Ranger. Andros called for his Spiral Saber, and landed many hits on Andros.

Zhane shot and slashed the Super Crunks with his Silverizer, and Ashley and Karone blasted the regular Crunks with their Star Slinger and Satellite Stunner respectively.

On a country road, a black muscle car barreled down the road. "Yeah this is great," Brandon said. "I finally get the car and can go cruisin around the county.

Sam and James were at a concert rocking out to the death metal of Plaguesayer.

"Is this a great concert or what?" James asked his fellow ranger.

"What?" Sam replied.

"I said…nevermind," James replied.

"Harlie, can I talk to you for a minute?" Floyd asked.

"Sure dad, what's up?" the cute blond girl replied.

"Well, I uh, I have met someone."

"Uh, Ok," Harlie replied dumfounded.

"We're thinking about seeing each other more often," Floyd continued.

"Uh, uh, congratulations, I guess,"

"Her name is Sherry. She's a nice girl," Floyd told her.

"Well, uh when do I get to meet her?" Harlie asked.

"I was thinking this weekend we could have her over for dinner."

"You can't cook, dad."

Floyd smiled and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, well we can order a pizza or something."

"That'd be good," Harlie replied, "could I bring Rad?"

"Uh, sure," Floyd said.

Rad walked by a bus stop and noticed a beautiful bright and cheerful girl with blond hair. Behind her was a guy also with blond hair who had a deck of cards. He was showing the girl an optical illusion with the cards. Rad gained interest in what was goin on. He walked up to the two young people. The girl introduced herself as Katie, and the guy said his name was Chase. Rad introduced himself to them and they began to talk.

"Pick a card," Chase said.

Rad pulled the Queen of Hearts. He showed it to Katie.

"Alright put it back in the deck." Chase then threw the deck of cards against the glass shelter. One card stuck to the wall. "That's your card."

"Uh, no it's not," Rad said.

Chase walked over to the card and pulled it off to reveal the Queen of Hearts underneath.

"Whoa, that was kewl," Rad said.

"Yeah, how do you do that?" Katie asked him.

"A magician never tells his secrets," Chase replied.

Just then a bus started to pull up.

"It was nice to meet you," Katie said.

"Yeah I gotta go," Chase added.

"Hey, maybe we'll see one-another around sometime."

The two riders boarded the bus to go home. Rad stood watching the bus as it drove away into the bright sunlight.

"Do you give up Rangers?" Rage asked as he blasted them with the Sword of Despair.

The Space Rangers hit the ground.

"We'll never give up," Andros gasped.

"Andros we need backup," Zhane called.

"They're too strong," Karone agreed.

"We gotta keep fighting," Andros maintained.

Andros got back up and charged Rage with his Spiral Saber. They dueled for a short period, as Rage sent Andros flying back toward the others.

"Come on we gotta go," Ashley said as she helped him up.

The Frisbee players were sitting in the grass at the park.

"Ahh man, the way we're goin, we're gonna be headin to state champions," one guy said.

"Yeah I watched Angel Grove University play the other day, they have no chance," Jeff stated.

"You were awesome Jeff. Have you ever played before?" another guy asked him.

"I never played ultimate Frisbee, but I used to throw it around when I was a kid."

"I bet you'll make captain, the way you play," the first guy stated.

Harlie and Rad were sitting in the Pizza Palace. Harlie was next to Rad with her arm wrapped around his.

"My dad said she was nice, but I want someone with me so I won't feel left out, ya know what I mean?" Harlie was babbling.

"Yeah, well uh, when is this thing," Rad asked.

"Saturday night. She'll be over around 7. Can you be there around 6?"

"Well, I'll try, but this savin the world thing might change my plans a little bit," Rad laughed as he looked around to ensure no one heard him.

Harlie laughed as well.

Samantha and James walked through the doors. They were still ecstatic about the concert they were previously attending.

"Hey guys," Harlie hollered.

Sam started waving cheerfully as she walked closer to her friends. "What's up."

"Oh just chillin," Rad said. "Where you two been?"

"We went to see Plaguesayer at the Emerson," James started. "They were great."

"Great don't even describe it," Sam said.

"Hey guys," Brandon said as he walked in.

"Hey wuzz up man?" Rad asked.

"Oh not too much, just out for a drive. It kinda frees my mind."

"So what are we all doin here?" Sam asked.

"I dunno," Harlie answered, "let's go to the park."

The four Space Rangers were on the AstroMegaship.

"Andros what are you doing?" Ashley asked.

"We got to get to earth," Andros started. "Only the Eltarian Rangers can unlock the portal to get to the rings."

"DECA, set a course for earth." Zhane commanded.

"Initiating Mark II Engines at HyperRush 5" DECA 2 spoke.

The five rangers walked in the park and were greeted by Jeff.

"Hey guess what? I'm trying out for the college Ultimate Frisbee team."

"Awesome," Rad said.

"Sweet," Brandon echoed.

"My team mates say they think I'll be captain."

"Excellent" James congratulated him.

"Ok, we're not too far from earth." Andros told his crew.

"Let's take the Galaxy Gliders." Ashley suggested.

The rangers then leapt down the tubes.

The six Eltarian Rangers were sitting under the shelter talking.

"Ya know it's been awful quiet today," Rad observed.

"Hey, maybe Rage is taken a day off," James said.

"Yeah, let's enjoy it," Sam said.

Rad still wasn't appeased.

"Eltarian Force?" a new voice spoke.

Everyone looked up and turned around.

"Andros," Rad started, "what brings you here?"
