1Chapter 9

"Sir, we have defeated the Titunam Ranger. What are your orders?" the red ranger asked.

"Hold your postion until futher orders." Fred ordered the red ranger. "Until then hold the Titunam ranger. He will be useful later."

"Yes sir." The red ranger responded then the line went dead. Fred turn to look at Joy.

"So far, so good. We have Mitchell's son." Fred and Joy began to walk out of the room.

"Sir, are you sure you want to do this?" Joy asked. Fred shot her a look.

"Yes, I'm sure. It is important to get rid of the Lightspeed rangers before we can go on any futher." They turned sharply down one of the halls.

"Sir, do you think it's possible to defeat them?" Joy asked. Fred crossed his arms.

"In a ground fight, no because they have a shit load of advance weapons, but in a Zord fight, yes becuase we will have something that they don't have." A grin spread a cross her face.

"Because we have an Ultrazord." Fred gave a stiff nod of his head.

"Correct. There are only a few generations with Ultrazords. The Mighty Morphin, Zeo, and Ninja Storm are the best examples." They walked into a group of soliders who instantly saw Fred and Joy. At once, they stopped what they were doing and lined up to salute thier leader.

"Speaking of Zords, how is the dino Zord reconstruction project coming?" Fred asked. Joy flipped open her clipboard.

"According to the last reports, we managed to find a piece of each dino Zord in the thunder Zord werckage and - as we speak - are rebuilding them." Fred smiled at this good news.

"Good to hear" he said as the lab door came into view.

"How much longer do we have to wait until they're finished?" Joy walked ahead of Fred.

"Follow me, sir and you'll be surprised." Fred didn't bother telling her he hated surprises but he had a good guess he would like it. When they approached the doors, she swiped her card and punched in her code. The door opened and they both walked in. They were greeted by a loud roar. Fred walked closer and saw to his amazement the rebuild dino Zords standing before him.

"Excellent work, Joy" he said, praising her. Joy blushed a little.

"Thank you, sir. I take pride in my evil work." Fred walked closer to the zords.

"Are they battle ready?" Fred ask rubbing the metal leg of the Saber Tooth Tiger.

"Yep, and ready to go whenever you are." Fred turned to look at Joy.

"How long will it take them to reach Mariner bay?" Joy looked at her watch again.

"About ten minutes." Fred walked away from the zords.

"Joy, launch the zords in five minutes and I want you to work on the next step of our plan." Joy looked at him as if he was asking her to make a rock into a tree.

"Sir, you can't be serious. You really want me to get working on the next step now?" Fred shot her a dirty look.

"Are you questioning me?" Joy shook her head really fast.

"No, sir. I will get started on it right away." Fred threw her a smile.

"Good." He began to walk away then stopped. "Oh, Joy, one more thing."

"What is it, sir?" Joy asked. He turn his head to look at her.

"Don't tell Lizard Face were recreating the thunder Zords, ok?"

Aqua base

The Dino Rangers and Zeo Rangers stood before Captain Mitchell and his Light Speed Rangers. Conner, Trent, Ethan, and Kira were wiping thier eyes trying to wake up. In their opinion, it was too early for a misson of any kind but the adults around them were wide awake and ready to go. (They suspected that their was something more then that in that cup of coffee.)

"Dino rangers and Zeo rangers, you are off on a mission that is very dangerous. For this, we can't thank you enough." He walked to the end of the line starting with Rocky and moving down the line shaking their hands and telling them again good luck with a smile. He stepped back after he finished shaking their hands.

"These two will show you to the waiting van." He pointed to two soldiers by the door.

"Again good luck rangers." With that, Captain Mitchell and the Light Speed rangers gave the two rangers teams before them a salute and they walked off with the two guards through the door and disappeared.

"Sir, don't you think we should let them go with them?" Carter asked after the door closed.

"No, this is something they have to do alone - and besides, I have a feeling Fred won't like it that we're helping them." Not as soon as Mitchell had finshed that thought a explosion was heard.

"What was that?" Dana asked.

"Don't know but it's getting closer." Chad said before another explosion hit this time shaking the building. All of them fell to the ground.

"I hope the other rangers didn't hear that." Carter said getting back to his feet.

"No, once those doors close it's impossible to hear anything." Mitchell also was getting back to his feet. All six of them took off running towards the command center where Miss Fairweather was typing fiercely on a computer board.

"Sir, we're being attacked by something and it's not showing up on radar." She informed them following another explosion.

"It's safe to say we better take the LightSpeed Megazord out there to try and stop it." Mitchell asked Miss Fairweather. She nodded.

"By my guess these explosions are caused by something big and powerful." She said then an explosion rocked the command center.

"Go now. Take the Lightspeed Megzord and find out what's happening." He ordered his team.

"Yes sir." They all said at once.

"Are you guys ready?" Carter asked.

"Ready" they replied.

"Lightspeed rescue." They morphed into their ranger forms and were in the Lightspeed Megazord outside. The megazord walked outside of the base looking for the source of the explosions.

"Keep looking, guys," Red ranger said cautiously. "We don't know what's out here." They continued to walk slowly and scanning ever inch of ground around them. After five minutes of searching, they found nothing.

"Carter what should we do? We can't find a trace of anything" Dana asked. Carter was about to answer when the Megazord was knocked off its feet. Everyone gave a yell as they all fell backwards to the ground.

"What the hell was that?" The green ranger asked.

"Not sure, but our answer is coming." The yellow ranger said pointing at a shadowy figure walking towards them.

"Let's get the megazord back on it's feet." Said the pink ranger.

"Right," The red ranger said pulling a control and the megazord was quickly on his feet. When it was fully up they saw to their surpise the figure was in full view and it wasn't a monster or demon. It was the MMPR megazord standing. Instantly, the Lightspeed Rangers knew this was a fight different from any other they had to fight. This time they had to fight fellow rangers.
