The ship pulled out and flew into course.

"Well' be there in a few minutes." Maya told them.

"Right." Justin nodded whilst adjusting his left glove. After a minute the island of Muranthias became visible to them. They could see the small white pod hurtling towards the island. They landed the ship and walked out, searching the surroundings. They were approached by a few natives, who simply looked them up and down, and left. They then stood to watch the pod crash twenty metres in front of them. They took up fighting poses.

After a few minutes, a small man like robot crawled out, so did seven others.

"Identify yourself." It spoke, whilst pointing an arm bearing a wrist blaster at Jack.

"Your worst nightmare." Jack hissed as the rangers charged towards their enemy. Justin led the charge as the blue ranger. Carlos grabbed the arm of a robot and hurled the robot at another. Justin kicked one and flipped it over his back. After a few minutes, the robots were soundly defeated. The last one sat there, it's circuits exposed.

"Master, hostiles present, defending target 1….." It beeped before Kat kicked it's head off.

"It's transmitting through radio. Igor knows we're here, and is gonna throw everything at us." Jack announced dramatically as if he was ending a TV episode at a cliff-hanger. Justin decided to take a look at the blue man sized robots. After a while he decided there was no circuit board or cable worth salvaging. The rangers demorphed and started barricading the main temple, where Maligore would be resurrected. They built small walls where they could blast people from. They also made small camps where they could rest for the night.

The next day, a light appeared on the shore. The unmorphed rangers approached it. It turned into a short, ugly figure.

"Greetings rangers, I am Igor." It spoke.

"Hello, we're the defenders of Earth." Justin announced.

"So you think you're tough because you bested my scouts. They are my light infantry; let's see how you fare against 1000 armoured troops." He sneered.

"We'll do what it takes; we're not letting you resurrect Maligore!" Kat answered.

"Well you're not as stupid as you look. But I assure you, we have all kinds of advantages." Igor laughed as the transmitting ended.
