The three VR Troopers flip through the air, and start running through a quarry.

"Sometimes when you learn something new it takes a while for it to sink in. That's what happened with me. It has been nearly a month, and it's still sinking in that my father and his oldest friends were VR Troopers, superheroes who defend our reality from evil. And now my friend, Linda, and I joined dad as a new team of VR Troopers."

VR Ryan and VR Linda stop next to a rock formation, as they look ahead, with VR Vance stopping a couple feet behind them and looking at his fist.

"It also still sinks in that I might not be able to handle the legacy that my father had set up for me."

"We should be near the disturbance that J.B. detected," VR Ryan says, before he looks over to VR Linda. "Do your scanners see anything?"

"No, nothing yet…" VR Linda looks around, before she looks straight ahead. "There, a strong energy source, and its building…"

"A strong energy source? What is it?" VR Vance asks.

VR Linda turns to face her friend, "I can't be positive, but it seems similar to when Grimlord tried to break through the dimensional barrier."

"But we destroyed Grimlord," VR Vance states.

"Trust me, Vance, Grimlord isn't so easily vanquished," VR Ryan turns his head slightly, before he looks ahead. "For now, let's keep our wits about us."

VR Ryan hurries ahead, with VR Vance and VR Linda nod their heads and follow.

The VR Troopers stop on top of a tall hill to see Grimlord holding out the Box of Isis, with a large gateway that has a lightning bolt design on top of it appearing before him.

"The Box of Isis?" VR Ryan realizes.

"The thing that can open portals to other dimensions?" VR Linda asks.

"The one and the same," VR Ryan says. "It would seem Grimlord's still planning on conquering other realities."

"Then we better stop him," VR Vance says, before he slides down the hill.

"Vance, wait!" VR Ryan reaches out for him.

Grimlord turns away from the gateway, "The VR Troopers. Should know you try to interfere."

"You got that right, prune face!" VR Vance charges forward, as VR Ryan and VR Linda slide down the hill.

Still holding the Box of Isis, Grimlord spreads out his free arm, "But you're already too late to do anything of importance."

A vortex starts to blow out of the gateway, before Grimlord is pulled back and through the gateway.

VR Vance stops running and tries to stay in one spot as the vortex continues. VR Ryan and VR Linda stop running and trying to hold still.

"Vance, hold on!" VR Ryan calls out.

"I'm trying…" VR Vance says, as his feet start to slide across the ground.

Suddenly, VR Vance is pulled through the air and into the gateway.

"Vance!" VR Ryan yells, as he and VR Linda look ahead.


Vance flips through the air and lands on the ground in an alleyway.

Vance returns to his feet, holding his shoulder for a moment, "I'm back in Cross World City?" He looks around. "Hold on, this isn't Cross World City."

Vance walks out of the alley to see a small street with people, both humans and aliens, around, some holding arms or just talking and walking.

"Mutants? Or… aliens?" Vance wonders, as he looks at the aliens. "Yep, definitively not Cross World City."

"Hey! Watch it!"

Vance looks down the street, to see an alien with a purple head and a fin-like mohawk, carrying a bag over his shoulder, running down the street, with a man, almost the same age as Vance, wearing a gray and green uniform, chasing after them.

Vance steps out in front of the young man, who stops, "Hey. Hold on, why are you messing with that… guy."

"Out of the way, you're interfering with SPD business," the man says, as he points at the badge on his uniform with a dog-like emblem.

"S.P. what?" Vance asks. "Is that a dog?"

The young man sees the alien continue to run down the street, before running past Vance, "Stop!"

Vance turns to watch the continuing chase, before running after them, "That's what I said!"

The alien stops at a railing and looks over it to see a lower area. He then turns and grabs a woman as she passes, who screams, before he throws her over the railing, keeping his hold on her arm to prevent her from falling.

The man and Vance come to a stop, when Vance notices a couple diamonds fell out of the alien's badge.

"Wait, is he a criminal?" Vance realizes, before looking over to the young man. "And he's a cop?"

"Listen, there's no reason for anyone to get hurt," the young man takes a step forward, holding up his hands.

"Avoid getting arrested seems like a good reason," the alien says, before letting go of the woman and then runs off to the side.

"No!" the young man yells, before Vance flips past him.

Vance grabs the railing and the woman's arm, hanging off the railing, before he manages to pull the woman over the railing. The young man helps the woman down from the railing, before Vance loses his hold and falls off from the railing.

Vance grabs the VR Pendant beneath his shirt, "Trooper Transform!" Vance, falling through the air, glows, before his armor appears. "We! Are! V! R!"

VR Vance lands on a foot and a knee.

The young man looks over the railing, "Is that the retired Captain Chaku's armor?" He then notices a piece of diamond on the ground, before picking it up, "This diamond…" He looks around. "And the thief got away."

The man then jumps over the railing.

VR Vance stands up and turns, when the man kicks him in the chest, knocking him back a couple steps before the man lands.

"Hey, what's the idea?!" VR Vance asks.

"You help the diamond thief," the man says, before he holds out a Delta Morpher, holding it to the side. "SPD!" He then holds it ahead. "Emergency!"

JJ's body glows with green energy, before he morphs into Green SPD Ranger.

Green SPD Ranger holds the Delta Morpher to the back of his belt, "I'm taking you in."

"Hold on a second," VR Vance holds out his hands.

Green SPD Ranger grabs one of VR Vance's arms and holds it down, "Are you surrendering?"

"No, I'm not," VR Vance says.

"Then, be it," Green SPD Ranger says, before he swings his other arm over VR Vance's head and then back elbows him.

VR Vance is knocked back a couple steps, "Yeah, be it."

VR Vance spin kicks, with Green SPD Ranger rolls under and roundhouse kicks him. VR Vance then turns, grabs a column and spins around it, kicking at Green SPD Ranger, who rolls back. Green SPD Ranger then jumps ahead and elbows VR Vance's chest. VR Vance pushes down Green SPD Ranger's arm, before swinging an arm, which Green SPD Ranger blocks with his other arm. Green SPD Ranger then kicks VR Vance, as VR Vance punches him, forcing the two apart.

Green SPD Ranger and VR Vance start to charge at each other, when a small explosion goes off between them, stopping them. They turn to see Syd, who has the alien with his arms cuffed behind his back, and Lina, a young woman holding a standard issued SPD blaster.

"That far enough, JJ," Lina says, as she lowers the blaster.

At that moment, Ryan and Linda walk up to them.

"Yeah, Vance, they are not our enemies," Ryan adds.

Green SPD Ranger holds up his Delta Morpher, "Power Down."

"Retroform Command," VR Vance says.

The two glow with energy, before they return to Vance and JJ.

Vance and JJ then notice that on the other side of the railing is Sky, who looks down at JJ with a displeased expression.

Vance looks over to Ryan, before he and JJ say, "I'm in so much trouble."

Vance and JJ glance at each other for a moment, before they start to walk off with Syd, Lina, the arrested alien, Ryan, and Linda.


Emeral, a muscular green monster, walks toward a large warehouse, where is Blula, a mostly blue mechanical monster with a square-like head, Threadi, a female mechanical monster with long, tentacle-like hair, and Strongu, a mostly brown mechanical monster with large shoulders.

"What do you have to report?" Threadi asks.

"The diversion worked perfectly well, we got what your boss seeks," Emeral says.

"Excellent, that will make him very pleased," Blula says.

"And what of SPD?" Strongu asks.

"Completely unaware that it was more than just a diamond heist," Emeral answers.

"That is good, but I doubt it will last," Threadi says. "Although, maybe our new partner could help with SPD when the time comes."

"Don't you worry."

Blula, Threadi, and Strongu turn to the warehouse, to the sound of the voice, before coming out is Grimlord, "I will be the deciding factor."


At SPD headquarters' command center in New Tech City, Sky stands in front of Bridge, Syd, Z, Lina, and JJ, as they stand across from Ryan, Vance, and Linda.

"I am Schuyler Tate, or Sky if you prefer, Earth Commander of Space Patrol Delta," Sky starts, before looking over to the unmorphed Rangers. "These are my Power Ranger team. Bridge Carson."

"Very nice to meet you."

"Sydney Drew."

"You can call me Syd, I actually prefer that."

"Elizabeth Delgado."

"Just Z."

"Lina Song."

"Good to meet you… again."

"And JJ Oliver."

"Sorry about before."

"It's good to meet you all," Ryan starts. "I am Ryan Steele. This is my son, Vance Steele, and Linda Sachi. And we are VR Troopers."

"Kinda hard to believe there's a dimension that has heroes beside Power Rangers," Syd says.

"There apparently are a number of them… How do you feel about beetles?" Bridge asks, before Syd gives him a disgusting expression.

"And how did you come here?" Sky asks.

"It's because of the Box of Isis," Ryan starts. "We don't know how it came to be. But it's an ancient object that can open gateways to any number of dimensions. Although, from what I can tell, this is years in the future, which is new."

"What do you mean?" Z asks.

"My experience with the Box of Isis is limited, but it never transports someone to a future time period."

"SPD had been detecting odd readings in dimensional wavelengths, which could explain your Box's interaction with the space-time continuum," Bridge says.

"Do you understand that?" Linda leans to Lina.

"Eh, usually I could only understand like fifty percent of what Bridge says, but that mostly makes sense," Lina responds.

"And you sure this Grimlord came here too?" Sky asks.

"The gateway didn't alter in any way before we were brought through," Ryan answers. "Although it would seem like when someone went through the gateway could affect when and where they appeared. Otherwise Linda and I would've landed near to where Vance arrived."

"That could also be related to the strange dimensional wavelengths," Bridge says.

"Anyway, if Grimlord is as bad as you said, Ryan, then we need to find him fast," Sky starts. "SPD will handle finding and arresting, then we will turn him over to your team."

"That should be fine, and we would love to help in any way we can," Ryan says.

"Then perhaps you could help us in building a criminal profile on Grimlord," Sky suggests.

"Okay, I'll try my best," Ryan shrugs his shoulders, with Sky nodding his head.

Linda sees Vance sighs and walks toward the room's exit, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going for a walk," Vance responds.

"I don't think that's a good idea," JJ approaches him.

"Don't worry, I won't be causing any more trouble," Vance tells him, before turning to leave.

"He'll be fine, JJ," Z says. "Probably just want the nickel tour."

"Maybe," JJ says.

Ryan walks over to a computer, where Lina is seated, "Come to think of it, Grimlord could be looking for a computer lab to use.

Lina types at the computer, "There have been several labs burgled for weeks, but it couldn't be Grimlord. Even if there's something wrong with the dimensional wavelengths, it wouldn't cause him to arrive that early. Right?"

Lina and Ryan look at Bridge, who just shrugs his shoulders.


Vance turns a corner in a long hallway, when he hears a small explosion on the other side of a doorway. Vance hurries down the hall and through the doorway to find Boom waving his hands through a cloud of smoke as it dissipates and Boom's coughing.

"Are you okay?" Vance asks.

Boom coughs again, before rubbing his fingers across his eyebrows, "My eyebrows are still here this time, so yea, I'm fine."

"Riiight," Vance says, before noticing a computer screen, which is showing odd design specs. "What's that?"

"Oh, that? I'm really proud of this," Boom approaches the computer. "It's the Blast Runner, a new Zord I've been working on."

Vance walks over to Boom, and turns to him, "What's a Zord…?"

Suddenly, an image of a mic appears on the screen, as a voice is heard saying, "SPD headquarters come in."

"Oh boy, I accidentally tapped into the emergency transmission network again," Boom says, as he turns to the computer.

"There is a break in at the Vector Research Station in progress," the voice continues.


Lina turns to face Ryan and Linda, "The Vector Research Station's started by a trio of scientists years ago, with its primary focus being to study energy and its dimensional effects."

"Something like that could be interesting for Grimlord," Linda says to Ryan.

"I agreed," Ryan says, before looking around. "Wait, where's Vance?"

Boom enters the room, carrying a small case, "Commander, I finished the item you requested."

"Later, Boom, we have other matters to worry about," Sky tells him. "Which included finding one of our guests, apparently."

"Do you mean Vance?" Boom asks.

"You saw him, Boom?" Z asks.

"Yeah, he was in my lab, but he left all of a sudden when he heard about the breaking in at the Research Station," Boom explains.

"Vance…" Ryan says, looking slightly to the side, with JJ watching him.


Vance arrives at the corner of a building to see the large building that is the Research Station, with two Krybots standing guard outside the entrance.

"I messed up earlier, but this time, I'm sure these are bad guys," Vance says, before he charges at the Krybots.

A Krybot swings an arm at Vance, who catches it, before he flips the Krybot onto its back. He then spins and back elbows the second Krybot, followed by back kicks the Krybot, sending it against a wall. He then roundhouse kicks the first Krybot, after it returns to its feet.

Vance then turns back to the Research Station building and hurries inside.


In a labroom, Grimlord is typing at a computer, as a Pyramid-like device, the Abyss Pyramid, is hooked up to a computer. The Abyss Pyramid gives off a small glow.

Grimlord looks over to the Abyss Pyramid, "This should suffice both my partners and, especially, my own needs."

"Grimlord!" Vance calls out, as he enters the labroom.

"I should know you little interlopers would follow me here," Grimlord says, as he slowly turns to face Vance.

"I'm taking you back to our dimension," Vance says.

"Not gonna happen Vance Steele," Grimlord raises his hands, as a large sword appears in one hand. "I have too big of plans to be stopped now."

"Disagree, you will be stopped, here and now," Vance says. "Trooper Transform!"


Vance holds up the Virtualizer, as electric surges around it, "We! Are! V! R!"

Electric surges around Vance's head, before a mostly silver Trooper helmet appears around it.

VR Vance, in mostly silver Trooper armor, takes a fighting stance.


"After all, I stopped you before," VR Vance takes a fighting stance.

"That was a fluke that won't be repeated," Grimlord says, as he holds back his sword.

Grimlord charges and swings his sword, with VR Vance ducks under before blocking the sword. VR Vance then pushes Grimlord to the side, past the Abyss Pyramid.


Ryan, Linda, JJ, Lina, Syd, Z, and Bridge are running toward the Research Station building, when explosions go off in front of them, with them coming to a quick stop.

"What was that?!" Syd asks.

"That was us," Machino, a mostly silver mechanical monster with a skull-like face, says, as he, Blula, Threadi, and Strongu approach from the side.

"You are interfering with SPD business," JJ says.

"It is you who's interfering," Threadi says.

"And we can't have you interfere with Grimlord's work," Machino says.

"Grimlord made friends?" Linda asks.

"That would be a first," Ryan says.

"Now, why don't you run off," Blula waves a hand at them.

"I was gonna say the same thing," Z says, as she and the others stand side by side.

"Ready!" Bridge calls out.

"Ready!" JJ, Lina, Syd, and Z call out.

The five unmorphed Rangers hold out their Delta Morphers, with their arms crossed, before holding their Morphers ahead, "SPD Emergency!"


Bridge opens his Delta Morpher, with a hologram of the Red SPD Ranger appearing before turning into energy and flies onto Bridge, forming his Ranger suit. His helmet then appears on his head from energy.


Lina opens her Delta Morpher, with a hologram of the Blue SPD Ranger appearing before turning into energy and flies onto Lina, forming her Ranger suit. Her helmet then appears on her head from energy.


JJ opens his Delta Morpher, with a hologram of the Green SPD Ranger appearing before turning into energy and flies onto JJ, forming his Ranger suit. His helmet then appears on his head from energy.


Z opens her Delta Morpher, with a hologram of the Yellow SPD Ranger appearing before turning into energy and flies onto Z, forming her Ranger suit. Her helmet then appears on her head from energy.


Syd opens her Delta Morpher, with a hologram of the Pink SPD Ranger appearing before turning into energy and flies onto Syd, forming her Ranger suit. Her helmet then appears on her head from energy.


Ryan and Linda stand side by side, as Ryan calls out, "Trooper Transform!"


Ryan and Linda hold up their Virtualizers, as electric surges around them, "We! Are! V! R!"

Electric surges around Ryan's head, before a mostly blue Trooper helmet appears around it.

VR Ryan, in a mostly blue Trooper armor, takes a fighting stance.

Electric surges around Linda's head, before a mostly red Trooper helmet appears around it.

VR Linda, in a mostly red Trooper armor, takes a fighting stance.


The five SPD Rangers, VR Ryan, and VR Linda stand side by side before charging, with Machino, Blula, Threadi, and Strongu also charging.

Blula holds up a sword, before blocking VR Linda's sword. Their swords collide a couple times, before VR Linda rolls out of the way as Blula is blasted. Blula looks ahead to see Blue SPD Ranger charging while firing her Deltamax Striker. She then separates her Deltamax Striker blade from the Deltamax Knuckle, before striking at Blula, who catches the blade.

VR Linda tries to strike Blula, but he blocks with his sword, then pushes off both of their weapons and then strikes them with his sword. They are forced back a couple steps, before Blula jumps ahead and strikes them both.

Threadi cracks her whip, striking it forward, with Pink and Yellow SPD Rangers rolling and flipping to the side, dodging it. They come to a stop, with Pink SPD Ranger on a knee, and fire their Deltamax Strikers. Threadi holds up an arm, as explosions go off around her, before she jumps and flips over the two Rangers, striking them with her whip.

Threadi lands on a knee, as Pink and Yellow SPD Rangers fall down.

Green SPD Ranger and VR Ryan charge at Strongu, before striking with their Deltamax Striker blade and sword, but Strongu catches both weapons and effortlessly forces them down. Strongu then lets go of their weapons and punches them both in the chests. Green SPD Ranger then jumps and tries a double kick, but Strongu catches his feet and then swings him to the side, knocking him into VR Ryan.

VR Ryan then jumps up and brings down his sword, striking Strongu, who isn't affected, before punching VR Ryan with both fists, knocking him into Green SPD Ranger, who tries to catch him.

Red SPD Ranger fires his Delta Blasters, with Machino rolls to the side to dodge, before spinning around. Once he stops, Machino holds up two blasters and starts firing, with Red SPD Ranger rolls to the side before returning fire. Red SPD Ranger then jumps up and fires his Delta Blasters, which Machino blocks by crossing his arms. As Red SPD Ranger reaches him, Machino knocks him out of the air with an arm swipe, with the Ranger falling onto the ground.

Machino then kicks Red SPD Ranger, sending him rolling across the ground, before firing his blasters at him.


VR Vance and Grimlord jump through the air and land in a storage warehouse, with Grimlord performing a roundhouse kick, which VR Vance ducks under. VR Vance then spins around, before launching a kick, with Grimlord slides back.

"Just give up, Grimlord, you couldn't beat me last time, it won't be any different this time," VR Vance says.

"You've forgotten how different things are now," Grimlord says. "Not to mention what I have access to here."

"What are you talking about?" VR Vance asks.

"You see, I still have access to my own knowledge of your VR Troopers tech, but now I also possess stolen data on Ranger tech I received from my partners here," Grimlord starts. "What do you think I could accomplish when I combine them?"

"Combine them…?" VR Vance says, when he hears footsteps and turns to see a figure is approaching him from the back of the warehouse.

Eventually, the figure comes into view, revealing what appeared to be a mostly black VR Trooper, "Let me introduce my greatest weapon: the VR Ranger!"

"VR Ranger?" VR Vance repeats.

"Feel free to tremble in fear," Grimlord says.

"Like I will be afraid of some mishmash of VR Trooper and Power Ranger," VR Vance says. "I'll beat your wind-up toy, then I'll beat you."

Grimlord slightly nods his head.

VR Vance jumps up and pulls out his sword. VR Ranger holds up a sword with a slight jagged blade, before blocking VR Vance's sword.

VR Vance then spins around and tries another strike, but he misses as VR Ranger strikes him in the side. Before VR Vance could defend himself, VR Ranger strikes him in the chest. VR Vance then blocks an attempted sword stab before blocking another sword strike and forces VR Ranger's sword down with his own sword.

VR Ranger punches VR Vance in the chest, forcing him back a couple steps. VR Ranger spins around, striking his sword, which VR Vance ducks under, before blocking VR Ranger's free arm and uses his own sword to block VR Ranger's. They then let go and strike each other. VR Ranger dodges another sword strike, before blocking VR Vance's sword.

VR Ranger then swings around his sword, before pushing it across VR Vance's sword and presses it against his chest.

"What are you?!" VR Vance calls out, before VR Ranger pushes him back against some boxes, then strikes him. VR Vance falls to the ground and starts to get up. "Is that the best you can do?"

VR Vance charges, strikes with his sword, but VR Ranger dodges and strikes him in their pass. VR Vance spins and tries another sword strike, with VR Ranger uses his free arm to block the sword, before swinging up his sword to strike him. VR Vance side steps to dodge a downward sword stab, before VR Ranger strikes him. VR Ranger then strikes him again.

"That's enough!" VR Vance tries a sword strike, but VR Ranger blocks with his sword, with VR Vance grabs onto the outstretched arm and pulls VR Ranger to him. "I got you now, you bunch of junk."

Suddenly, VR Ranger elbows VR Vance, freeing himself, before trying a sword strike which is blocked. Their swords separate, and VR Ranger kicks VR Vance. VR Ranger then spins around and strikes VR Vance, sending him flying backward.


Each of the SPD Rangers, VR Ryan, and VR Linda are thrown through the air and land hard on the ground. They look up to see Machino, Blula, Threadi, and Strongu stand side by side.

The Rangers and Troopers start to get up.

"You know, I don't like getting beat up, but I would like to at least know who's beating me up," Pink SPD Ranger says.

"Yeah, who are you?" Blue SPD Ranger asks.

"Listen, whatever Grimlord promised you, he can't be trusted," VR Ryan says.

"Grimlord's just a means to an end," Machino starts. "Nothing will stand in my way of reviving the Empire as the universal conquest it was always meant to be."

"Empire?" Green SPD Ranger responds.

"I thought the Cosmos Empire was destroyed years ago," Blue SPD Ranger says, before Machino's Generals start to laugh.

"It's normal for me to miss the joke, but I really don't get what's so funny," Red SPD Ranger says.

"You all are so far wrong, it's not even funny," Threadi says.

"What do you mean?" Green SPD Ranger asks.

Machino takes a couple steps forward, "I am the grandson of Mondo and Machina. The heir apparent to the Machine Empire!"
