Power Rangers: Galactic Force

Chapter 3: Blunder

Reeseville College

"Good Morning Reevesville. I am Alex and boy, do we have a story for you guys," Alex spoke into the camera. He shifted his glasses as an old video showed. "For those that remember, 10 years ago, Reevesville was under attack. It took nearly a year and a sacrifice for our Protectors to defeat them. The reason why I am bringing this up is because a video was sent to us. After doing a thorough investigation, we can confirm that the Rangers are back. Does this mean that Reevesville is under attack again? Are we about to enter another dark era for this beloved city? Only time will tell, but we have a message for the Rangers: We believe in you guys." The rest of the broadcast showed the video of the Rangers battle.

Maria shut the TV off and placed the remote on the table. She closed her eyes and let a breath go. She knows they are in for a battle. They barely won the first round, and now they are back hellbent on revenge. This will make the upcoming battles harder. She just hopes that they have what it takes to defend. She felt a hand clasp her shoulder in a supportive way and turned towards the person.

"It's happening again," Maria said softly, her voice carrying worry.

"Don't worry Maria, you have help," Roger said in a soft voice. He stood beside Maria, looking into the city. "You have us to lean on. Not too mention, the new team looks like they will be alright."

"I hope so," Maria responded, her voice carried an uncertainty to it. "This won't be like last time, and you guys barely managed to defeat them. No. No, this time, they are here for vengeance, which makes them that more dangerous."

"If anyone can get them into fighting shape, it would be you," Roger said encouragingly. "We all believe in you."

"Thank you Roger," Maria said. She walked over to a door that lead to the War Room and stepped inside. She turned on the light and looked around the room. "Been 10 years since I have set in this place."

"How I've missed this place," Roger remarked, stepping into the room. He walked over to the command console and pushed the button. It beeped and suddenly the monitors blinked on, showing a map of Reevesville. "It still works, that is a plus."

"It needs to be updated though," Maria responded, coming beside him. "Have you spoke to the others?"

"I have. They have agreed to it, though they can't make it in for a couple of weeks," Roger answered her.

"I really appreciate it," Maria said before a though struck her. "Remember when we were talking last week? And you asked if they were back?"

"Yeah?" Roger responded, not sure what she was getting at.

"Something doesn't add up," Maria said, thinking. Seeing Roger's blank expression, she added. "I told you they were back but only in small numbers. So why reveal themselves now? Why show us that they are here?"

"Perhaps they wanted to intimidate us?" Roger responded, his mind now trying to think of ideas why. "But wouldn't a bigger attack be better?"

"That's my thought as well. Surely they would have known sending in a small group of Maryters weren't going, even with the Xorks. Unless..."

"That was a mistake," Roger said, his eyes brightened at the thought. "They attacked without getting the go head."

"Which means, we have the advantage here," Maria said with confidence. She began to think. "So if we are going off our assumption that it wasn't supposed to happen, what benefits do they get?"

"They know there is a new team," Roger replied. "But they also know that the new team isn't experienced, which probably means, the next attack will be very soon with the hope that they can overwhelm them."

"Looks like I have work to do then. This will be an up hill battle no matter what," Maria said. She began to type away on the console, beginning to update the system. "May the planets lend their strength!"

Reevesville College

"Can you believe it? We are Rangers," Jackson said gleefully. The team was sitting around outside near a fountain, eating lunch. All morning, they heard nothing but the attack and how there is a new Ranger team. The students on campus were excited.

"Can you speak quieter?" Luka told him, looking around the courtyard.

"Oh please. Everyone is talking about it. You need to relax," Jackson retorted.

"Doesn't mean we need to be careful," Luka replied back, eating a jam sandwich.

"We were lucky yesterday," Kelley mentioned. She finished her pasta. "We need to train more if we want to survive."

"I have been doing some research on the attack that happened 10 years ago," Neo said, drawing attention to himself. He put down his lunch and lowered his voice. "Not a lot was mentioned, but the reports said the old team just barely won. From what I gather, the team managed to boot there asses off Earth but they swore revenge."

"So you think this attack is about revenge then?" Jackson asked.

"Logically, it makes sense," Neo confirmed.

"Which means this fight will be a lot harder," Ari said, speaking up for the first time.

"Yep. We need to be ready for anything," Luka said with an authoritative voice. "Being the leader, it's my responsibility to make sure that we are."

"Wait a moment. Who made you the leader?" Jackson asked, crossing his arms. "I sure as hell didn't vote on that."

"Do we really need to fight about that?" Kelley asked, rolling her eyes.

"Let's worry about that later. Right now, I have to get to class," Neo said, getting up. He grabbed his bag and with a final wave, headed towards the robotics lab.

"I have to get to class as well," Kelley said. She got up as well and grabbed her bag. She waved bye to the group and went towards the math lab.

"I should head out as well," Ari said, taking his leave as well.

Jackson and Luka glanced at each other before nodding goodbye and going their separate ways.

Port Haven, Outer Space

"You did what?" the voice asked in a disbelieving voice.

"My Queen, I thought..." was all he said before he was interrupted.

"You idiot. You just wrecked everything," snarled the voice. "I should skin you alive."

"Your Majesty, we did find out something useful," the Xork stammered out.

"It better be good," the Queen growled at him.

"They have a new team in place," the Xork said. He saw her look and pressed on. "They are inexperienced. If we could attack them with force, we can overwhelm them."

The Queen thought for a moment, a plan forming in her head. "At least some good has came from your stupidity."

The Xorkk let out a small sigh of relief before finding a blade piercing his abdomen. He looked at the Queen, who just stared at him with cold eyes.

"You worthless little piece of hide. You follow my orders. You don't think," snarled the Queen. She spoke to the other Xorks. "Dinner is served. Don't disobey me!".

With that, she hung up her holo comm and turned her attention back the guy. "Good help is hard to find."

"So I see. Now, where were we?" he asked, leaning forward.

"Ah yes. My plan. I will be taking Earth no matter what. I have been growing my army for the past 10 years. Even with this blunder, everything is in place. Or rather, almost everything is in place. That's where you come in," she said, leaning back.

"And what exactly would I be doing?" the man asked.

"Have you ever noticed a pattern?" She asked. "Every time a new invasion begins, they are by themselves."

"So you want my help to gather everyone and hit Earth together?" the man asked, though he already knew the answer. He was thoughtful for a moment. "Why come to me? What makes you think I can get everyone together?"

"Do I really need to answer that?" She asked.

"How did you find me?" He asked, resting his arms on the armrest.

"It was difficult, I will admit," she said. "I won't bore you with the details though. Will you do it?"

"Well, I do have experience with eliminating Rangers. I will think on it," he said. He stood up and motioned for the door. "I will get back to you soon."

She bowed her head and swept from the bar. She found herself on her ship. She went to her cabin and smiled wickedly. In the corner was a metal cage with a female hostage, who was currently asleep.

"Soon, my revenge will be complete!" she let out a wolfish laugh.
