Chapter 05: New ship, new Zords.

With no other choice, we ran towards a camp and hid ourselves as the box shone as well as our morphers. We didn't know at the time, but a ranger would come and help us. "What are we going to do...I mean we can't morph, just in case they want the keys!" I said as my friends nodded, however we heard some noise and kept quiet whilst we were shaded in our disguise.

We couldn't help but think Manic and Tommy would be here soon, though they had no idea where we were...we didn't want to make it any worse for what we were. Soon after, we heard a overhead noise. "THEY MUST BE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE! GET ME THOSE PESKY RANGERS..NOW!"

As soon as they passed, we heard a rustling in the trees above. "Hey...are you guys here?" a familiar voice said as we all looked up at the trees and we saw Manic who climbed tree to tree finding where we were hidden.

"Man...you couldn't have come at a better time!" I said as we all got out of the disguises and he nodded, "C'mon...let's get out of here!" Manic said as we all followed him back to the dojo. When we got back, we sat down, worse for wear from running with our chest of keys.

"I see you got your first set of new keys!" He said as he looked at the treasure chest where the jungle fury keys had been set. "Yeah, Olette and the others were in trouble...but saying that, they weren't ready to hand over the keys, it took us to get our beast spirits done but we had used the keys before when we were in battle." I said as Manic nodded and I paced about as he tapped into the morphing grid once more.

"We have no more ship...we're stranded...I mean what are we gonna do?" One of my crewmembers said as I looked at him. "We're gonna be fine. If this has taught us one thing, we're to be bold in a situation like this!" I said as Manic turned back to us. "Not necessarily, come with me." He said as he took us to a port and we saw a new ship, ready to set sail.

"Manic...where did this come from? The morphing grid?" I asked him as Tommy also nodded. "Yeah, this is your new ship...but it also becomes your Armada Legacy Megazord!" Tommy said as we all looked at the ship. "It's named the Armada Galleon...it'll keep you steady on all your travels until you need to use the megazord. Naminé, you know how to summon a megazord, show them how, you'll automatically know...just trust me on this." Manic said as we nodded and went aboard and saw that it was exact to the touch like our old ship.

"Let's get going then! We're needed somewhere else...more ranger keys to be found." I said as Manic nodded and we set sail. New megazord huh...I wonder if that means we can use the past megazords like the keys too, I said to myself as I sat down in the captains chair on a bumpy voyage.

We managed to evade the enemies for a while until we got to another world where we landed the ship near a beach. I looked at the next message and it said something about ninjas and dinosaurs. I knew exactly what the message meant. There was only one guy who was here who I knew used to use the power of the dinosaur and ninja. But if this was the case, why was he here...in Atlantica? This was no place for the former red ranger and second in command...

We stayed in the ship for a while, hidden away as we all got some rest as we were mostly hurt from crashing our old ship. Only minor scrapes and bruises but thankfully, no serious injuries like broken bones. As we did, I sensed Manic had more on his mind than what he was showing...though he would never show it to any of us. That was the way he was.

[POV: Manic and Tommy]

"Dad...do you think this morpher has something to do with the sixth ranger keys we found last time? I wonder if it's coincidence that somehow, the war happens, we sacrifice our powers and then all of a sudden, this? I think it's kinda ironic that Naminé becomes the new leader of a new generation of power rangers." He said as Manic 'hmm'd' at every question.

"Dad, what is it with you? You look like a ghost whenever she is around, what gives?" Tommy said as Manic looked at him. "Nothing...she just kinda reminds me of your mother that's all." Manic said as Tommy shook his head. "Mom isn't here though. You should know that dad...I was the only one to make it here..." Tommy said as Manic picked up the morpher he used to use and looked at it, now a shell of the former self and then put it back on the shelf where all the older morphers were as a bright light shone and two keys made their way onto the table as Tommy picked them up.

"Dad...look!" He said as Manic shook his head. The keys were of both their former respective power ranger powers - the Green and White rangers. "Not a coincidence anymore!" Tommy said as he put the keys with the others that they had found and locked the chest that contained the morpher and sixth ranger keys. "Look...if it makes you feel better, I don't think Naminé will mind if you take up the mantle of mentor for them, you did it for us...you showed me more ways than anything what it meant to be a ranger!" Tommy said as Manic nodded and they left the dojo to go and sit down outside and take some fresh air in.

Author's notes -

Wow...I mean wow...so who do you think will be the silver ranger - Tommy, or Manic? I'm not letting anyone know until two or three more chapters into this story! Let me know in the reviews part who you think will be the silver ranger.
