Chapter 7

Joy and Fred were walking out of the room after calling a special unit to prep the Rangers for the attack on Mariner Bay.

"I hate working for that jerk," Fred said bitterly.

Joy sighed and shook her head. "Calm down, sir. Everything will be alright."

Fred sighed. "That doesn't matter. Right now, we need to make a quick plan."

"Alright, sir."

Fred kept walking as he tried thinking of a plan. They were quiet for a few moments, then an idea hit him.

"Joy, I need you to go to the Zord Bay and finish work on the Dino Zords, ASAP."

Joy nodded. "Alright, sir, but what will you be doing?" she asked as she took her cell phone from her pocket. Fred had a wicked smile on his face.

"Just going to track someone down," was all he said. Before Joy could ask who it was, Fred was already gone.

"What is it, Joy?" came a voice from the cell phone.

"Yeah, I want to know how the rebuilding is going?" she asked as she resumed her walking.

"We were successful in finding a piece of the old Zords from the Thunder Zord wreckage," the voice replied. A smile spread across Joy's face.

"That's good news. How long will it take to get the Zords rebuilt?"

There was a moment of silence, then the voice spoke again. "It should take less than twelve hours."

"Good," was the only thing she said before she hung up.

Joy entered a nearby room, and as she placed her phone back in her pocket she noticed a man and a woman were busy typing away on a control panel. One of them looked up.

"Joy, what do you need?" The woman seemed shocked. Joy put her clipboard down before she answered.

"I need you two to have the teleporting pods ready to go in five minutes."

"Yes, ma'am," both said at the same time before resuming their typing.

Joy walked out of the room. Next to the Control Center was a door with a pad for fingerprints and a keycard slot, instead of a regular knob. She walked up to the door and swiped the keycard, then pressed her finger against the pad. A few seconds later, the door opened and Joy walked in and flipped on a light switch. In the middle of the room stood five life-size pods. She walked over to a red button and pressed it, and the lights under the pod came to life and began to power up. Joy kept working on the pods until she saw the guards with the five MMPR.

"Load them into the pods," she ordered. They each nodded and lead the Rangers to the pods.

Joy left them to go the Control Center. When she entered the room, to her surprise she saw Fred standing there. "Sir, what are you doing here?"

Fred gave her a grin. "Giving the location to send the Rangers."

Joy walked over next to Fred. "Where are we sending them?" she asked as watched the guards shut the pod doors.

"To a field two miles outside of Mariner Bay. They are to carry out something that has to be dealt with, and fast."

Joy looked at her commander, somewhat confused. "What would that be, sir?" Fred now had a wicked grin on his face.

"You'll find out soon," was all he had to say. Before she could say anything else, the man at the control panel spoke up.

"Joy, the Rangers are ready to go."

Joy sighed. "Alright. Begin the teleporting process."

"Yes, ma'am," said the man before he set off to work. After a minute of typing, the pods began to glow.

"Teleporting in 3… 2… 1!" And in a flash of light, the Rangers disappeared.

2 Miles Outside of Mariner Bay...

Ryan sat by the campfire, relaxing and enjoying his camping trip, when lights appeared out of nowhere, eventually landing right in front of him. When they disappeared, the five MMPR Rangers stood in front of him, their power weapons in hand. Ryan quickly stood up.

"Who are you guys?" he asked, holding his morpher in front of him. The Red Ranger spoke first.

"Come with us, or else we will be forced to hurt you."

Ryan hit the button on his morpher and shouted, "Titanium Power!" In a flash of light, he changed into the Titanium Ranger. "I don't know who you guys are, but I will not let you take me without a fight," he said as he showed off his Titanium Laser in axe mode. They glared at each other. Then, without any warning, both sides charged toward each other and began the fight.
