Jason's truck finally passed a sign that read: 'Welcome to Ocean Bluff'.
"Thanks God, we're finally here." Jason muttered. Behind his truck, there were three separate vehicles. The first was a silver Motorcycle, with the word 'Wolf' written in several areas. Behind that, there was a Black Jeep, and bringing up the rear was a Red Ford.
"Honey, was that guy there a second ago?" Trini asked from beside him, pointing to a man who had suddenly appeared down the road. He was wearing Green and black, so Jason had a good idea who it was. He pulled over next to the man.
"Cam?" Jason asked politely.
"Yes, you must be Jason. It is a pleasure to finally meet you." Cam replied as he bowed.
"Hop in; we've got more Rangers to find." Jason joked as Cam opened the rear door.
"Are those the Wild Force Rangers?" Cam asked as he noticed the other three vehicles that has also stopped.
"Yeah, we'll introduce you later. So would you care to elaborate on the story, Tommy wasn't very in-depth," Trini asked the green ranger.
"Apparently, before the Jungle Fury rangers destroyed their main villain, there was a flux in the Grid. Haley thought that it could have been the Grid aligning itself with one of the villains who joined the rangers. However with the visions of Zordon, we want to know if it is actually the Grid aligning with the old villain, or if it is the cause of Zordon's warning." Cam told the rangers. "By the way, how are we going to find the rangers?"
"With this," Trini said as she held up a small device which looked like a compass, but more high-tech. At Cam's confused expression, she elaborated. "It's a device that tracks connections to the Morphin' Grid. We've already updated it to ignore our powers, as well as yours and those of the Wild Force rangers. Therefore the only rangers within the search area should be the Jungle Fury rangers."
"Who invented this?" Cam asked with an amazed look on his face.
"Billy Cranston, the first Blue ranger."
"You mean the CEO of Tri-Wolf Blue? He was a ranger?" Cam asked.
"Yep. When we've finished with this mission, you geniuses will have to sit down and come up with some really good inventions." Jason joked.
"Jason, we've got a reading, turn left in a minute." Trini commanded
"Trini, I know we trust Billy, and he's smart, are we sure this is working right? I mean, it's a Pizza Parlor!" Jason said.
"Maybe we could pick up some lunch while we're here. Ninja-streaking takes a lot out of me." Cam suggested.
"Let's at least go in and see if they are rangers" Trini added. "Come on guys.
RJ looked up as almost a dozen people walked in. "Erm, I'm sorry but we're closed." His wolf spirit was trying to tell him something.
Trini looked at the man, and her eyes wandered down to his exposed forearm. She noticed the Master tattoo. She turned to Jason and whispered, "Jason, that tattoo, it's the mark of the Jungle Fury Rangers." Jason nodded in understanding.
"Listen I need to ask you something. Are you one of the Jungle Fury Rangers?" Jason asked RJ as he approached.
"Me? A Power Ranger? You must be joking. I am simply the owner of this Pizza Parlor." RJ, answered a little nervous.
"Really, because this little gadget is telling us something different. You see, it detects connections to the Morphin' Grid, and it led us right to you." Trini replied. "If it helps, you're not the only Power Ranger in this room."
"Wait. You're Power Rangers?" RJ asked. As they nodded, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Then yes, I am one of the Jungle Fury Rangers. My names RJ. Is this just a visit to say congratulations on beating Dai Shi, or is there something else?"
"We would like to say this with the rest of your team present, if you don't mind." Trini replied.
"Sure, they're just upstairs, if you'll follow me." The Rangers followed him through the back, and up the stairs to find the rest of the Jungle Fury Rangers, and their allies, joking about.
"Erm guys, we have some visitors." RJ said as he entered the room. As the others looked at each with confused expressions, he elaborated. "They're rangers."
Jason stepped forward. "Hello Rangers, I'm Jason, the first Red Ranger, this is Trini, the first Yellow Ranger. Behind me are the Wild Force Rangers, and the Green Ninja Storm Ranger. Cam, if you would please continue."
"Hello. Yesterday, a few hours before you defeated Dai Shi, there was a flux within the Morphin' Grid. For those of you who don't know, the Morphin' Grid is where you draw your ranger powers from. We originally believed that this was simply the Grid aligning itself with the holder of the Chameleon Spirit. We have determined the location of the flux, so we would like you to tell us if you know where it is."
"Yes, come over to the computer." RJ said as he walked over to his chair. He let Cam sit down, something that the Jungle Fury Rangers were surprised at. "Okay, that dot is the location of the flux?" He asked as a map appeared onscreen. Cam simply nodded, while zooming in on the map. "Whoa, that's Dai Shi's temple." RJ announced as he noticed some of the landmarks. He turned to Camille. "Camille, were you in Dai Shi's temple a few hours before he was destroyed?" he asked.
"No, I would have been at the temple with Jarrod." Camille replied, with Jarrod confirming it with a nod.
Jason looked at Trini. "Okay so that means that whatever Zordon was warning us about is or at least was, in Dai Shi's temple. RJ, do you mind if we connect your network with one of the other rangers, we need to relay some information quickly."
"Yes of course, whatever I can do to help." RJ replied.
"Cam, can you start connecting with Tommy's network? Trini will give you the pass codes. While they're doing that, I'll bring you up to date. Okay to start off, welcome to the ranger family, and congrats on defeating Dai Shi. Last night, some of the original rangers were contacted by Zordon, our original mentor. He warned us of a war coming, and he told us to gather different teams of rangers. We believe that whatever is going to cause that war is or at least was within Dai Shi's temple. That means that it was either created by Dai Shi, or he resurrected a past villain. With that out of the way, I think we can make some proper introductions. As I said, I'm Jason, the Red Mighty Morphin' Ranger, and later the temporary Gold Zeo Ranger. Trini was the Yellow Mighty Morphin' Ranger. Over there is Cam, Green Ninja Storm Ranger. The Wild Force Rangers are; Cole, Merrick, Taylor, Danny, Alyssa and Max. Red Lion, Lunar Wolf, Yellow Eagle, Black Bison, White Tiger and Blue Shark."
"It is a pleasure to meet you. I'm RJ, the Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger. This is Casey, Theo, Lily and Dom. There were actually rangers with me. Red Tiger, Blue Jaguar, Yellow Cheetah and Rhino. These are fellow masters, whose powers were harnessed to create the spirit rangers. Master Swoop, Master Phant, and my father, Master Finn. Bat, Elephant and Shark spirits. These are Camille and Jarrod. They have the animal spirits of the Chameleon and Black Lion. Camille served Dai Shi in the last beast war, centuries ago. Jarrod was the unwilling host of Dai Shi. Last, but by no means least, this is Fran, she was only my employee at first, but she discovered our secret." RJ replied, pointing out each person in turn.
"Guys, we're connected up. Tommy, Jason's coming now." Trini said. Cam moved so that Jason could sit down.
"Jason, allow Billy, Lightspeed and Andrew Hartford to connect in to the system. Then we can tell everyone about this, apart from Adam." Trini hit three keys, and then Billy and Kat filled a screen, on another there was Tommy, Hayley and he could see the rest of Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder, as well as Kim, Anton, and Elsa in the background. On the next screen, he could see Rocky and Aisha, with Carter, Wes and Eric close behind them. Just of the screen were who he presumed to be the rest of Lightspeed and Time Force. On the final screen, there was Zack, Justin and presumably the Overdrive team.
"Okay guys, I'm guessing Tommy filled you in. Okay, so the flux occurred in what the Jungle Fury Ranger's have told us is Dai Shi's temple, but the holder of the Chameleon spirit wasn't near that temple at the time. We're going to go ahead and assume the worst situation. We think the being that's going to cause the war was in Dai Shi' temple. It could still be there but we're not sure." Jason said as he looked at the rest of the rangers.
"I have contacted Aquitar, and Cestro said that whenever someone with a connection to the grid dies, they become integrated within the Grid. He is also transferring the message Zordon sent to Triforia, so that Trey knows. The Aquitians are also sending messages to all of they're nearby solar systems, to try and contact the Space rangers." Billy said as soon as Jason has finished.
"We've been discussing everything, and we believe that we have to go to the Power Chamber, or Command Centre, the original base of the Power Rangers. Although, it could take a while with so many of us." Tommy said.
"Guys I think you're forgetting something. We have some of the possibly smartest people on the planet, and allies who aren't. Why can't we just repair the teleportation system?" Rocky asked, as though it was something obvious.
"I've tried that already Rocky, but since the Power Chamber was destroyed, I haven't been able to find a power source that could sustain that power." Billy replied.
"What about the Zeo Crystal?" Aisha asked.
"No, I've already tried that. Although it is powerful, I need something of power close to that in order to focus the energy. Remember, it was Zordon who harnessed the power originally." Billy replied.
"If I may make a suggestion." Andrew Hartford interrupted. "What about the Corona Aurora? I mean, the Sentinel Knight used it to return the power of 5 Rangers, and it turned Mack into a human. Could that have enough power?"
"Hmmm. Maybe I could use it as a focusing lens for the Zeo Crystal. We all need to get together and then we can decide from there." Billy replied. "I think that it's easiest for everyone to get to Reefside."
"We'll use my mansion. I doubt there would be enough room for all of us in here." Anton added.
"Okay, so we'll all meet at Mercer's Mansion ASAP."
"Guys, remember, if there aren't enough vehicles, use the emergency account, and don't bother renting. We don't know when we'll have them back by, so just buy something." Kat announced.
"Okay, well we're going to need at least one, unless any of you have a usable car?" Jason asked the Jungle Fury team. They all shook their heads in reply.
"Don't worry; just get to Reefside, quickly!" Kat replied.
