Chapter 9: Cloning Catastrophe
Early in the morning, Jirou was staring at himself in the mirror in front of him. Jirou turned around and saw his back in the mirror. Jirou saw the scar across his back in the mirror causing him to sigh. As Jirou grabbed his shirt off of a rack someone began knocking on the door.
"Hurry up, you're going to be late," Hitoshi said to Jirou from the other side of the door.
"I'll be out in a second," Jirou said as he put his shirt on.
Jirou opened the door and saw Hitoshi waiting on him.
"Jun is about to head to school without you," Hitoshi told Jirou as he followed Jirou towards the stairs.
"Have the sensors found anything yet?" Jirou asked Hitoshi as they headed downstairs.
"No, nothing at all," Hitoshi said as he sighed.
"That's so odd," Jirou said as he was blinded by a flash of light.
Jirou began rubbing his eyes as Jun started giggling.
"What was that?" Jirou said in confusion.
"My camera," Jun told Jirou. "I'm working on getting pictures for the yearbook,"
"Shouldn't that be done at school though?" Jirou said as he regained his vision.
"I just wanted to make sure the camera still worked," Jun said as she grabbed her bag.
"At least warn me next time," Jirou said as Jun opened the door.
"You two have fun at school!" Hitoshi shouted as Jirou and Jun left.
As Jirou and Jun walked down the street, Jirou looked over at Jun's camera.
"Why do you have to do the pictures?" Jirou asked Jun.
"Because no one else would," Jun said as she continued walking.
"The school year isn't even halfway over yet," Jirou said as they came up to a crosswalk.
"I know that, but it takes a while for the yearbooks to be made," Jun told Jirou as the two of them walked across the street.
"Then make sure you put a picture of Mason on every page," Jirou said as he chuckled. "He wouldn't be happy if you didn't,"
"Ugh, don't even bring that up," Jun said in disgust.
As Jirou and Jun continued walking a Buzzcam landed on a light post behind them. The Buzzcam aimed at the two teens and zoomed in on them.
"How many pictures have you taken so far?" Jirou asked Jun.
"Aside from that one at the shop, not a single one," Jun told Jirou.
"It'll be hard work getting all of those done then," Jirou told Jun as they turned a corner.
"Yeah, and no one else will help," Jun said as she sighed.
"I'm sure someone will help you," Jirou said to Jun.
"Why don't you help me?" Jun asked Jirou.
"Sorry, but I can't," Jirou said as he placed his hands behind his head.
"Why not?" Jun asked Jirou.
"You're asking someone who existed before cameras were a thing to help you," Jirou said as he chuckled.
"It's not hard at all," Jun explained to Jirou.
"No can do," Jirou said as he and Jun approached the school.
"Whatever," Jun said in annoyance as she walked away from Jirou.
"Have fun!" Jirou shouted to Jun as Logan walked up beside him.
"What's up with Jun?" Logan asked Jirou.
"Oh she's doing pictures for the yearbook," Jirou told Logan.
"Dang, we're taking pictures already?" Logan said in disbelief.
"That's what I said," Jirou said as he sat down on a bench with Logan.
"Hopefully she can get it done," Logan said as students walked by them.
"I'm sure she'll be fine," Jirou said as he looked over at Jun taking pictures of students.
"Has anything set off the sensors?" Logan asked Jirou.
"No, and I'm confused as to why," Jirou told Logan.
"Yeah, it's been a few weeks since we got Beth back from Badpipes," Logan said as he thought to himself. "Maybe there's something wrong with the sensors?"
"You can take a look after school," Jirou said as the bell began ringing.
"Sounds good," Logan said as he and Jirou got up and headed towards the building.
Jirou and Logan walked inside along with a crowd of students. At the front gate, a teenaged boy stepped through and headed towards the front door.
In the hallway Mason was grabbing books out of his locker. The new boy stepped around the corner and began making his way down the hall. The boy shoved another boy out of the middle of the hall causing him to slam against the lockers.
"What the hell man?" The boy said to the new student.
Mason closed his locker and saw the boy in the denim jacket ignoring the other student.
"What's your problem?" The boy said as he grabbed the new student by the shoulder.
The new student grabbed the boy's wrist and shoved him aside.
"Stay out of my way next time bub," The bully said as he continued walking.
Mason sat his books down and stepped out in the middle of the hallway.
"Hey, drop the tough guy act," Mason said to the new student.
"Step aside dunderhead," The new student said as he stopped in front of Mason.
"Dunderhead?" Mason said in confusion.
The new student chuckled and continued past Mason down the hall. Mason walked over to the other student and helped him up off the ground.
"Are you alright?" Mason asked the student.
"Yeah, but something is definitely up with that dude," The student said as he held his wrist.
"You've got that right," Mason said in concern.
Aboard the Galaxy Warriors ship, a monster was sitting at a computer in the control room typing vigorously as Ripcon stood by watching. Ripcon groaned impatiently and began making his way over to the monster.
"How much longer will this take Hacktrack?" Ripcon asked Hacktrack as he watched him work.
"It'll be done soon, I promise," Hacktrack said as he continued working.
"You better be done or I will report your failure to Galvanax," Ripcon said as he walked away.
"I was really hoping that hacking into the Power Ranger's computers would be easier," Hacktrack said as he sighed. "The sensors I hacked have already been modified to work with my plan,"
Hacktrack began chuckling as he continued typing on the keyboard.
In the restroom at the school, Jun was washing her hands at the sink. Jun looked up at her reflection in the mirror and smirked as she turned off the sink. Jun grabbed a paper towel and began drying off her hands. While drying her hands off, Jun's nose suddenly twitched causing her to sneeze.
"Goodness," Jun said as she wiped her nose with the paper towel.
Jun tossed the paper towel in the garbage and suddenly began glowing faintly. As Jun walked out of the bathroom, another Jun materialized in the restroom in front of the mirror.
"What the heck?" The new Jun said in confusion as she looked at the mirror.
Jun noticed she didn't have a reflection and placed her hand on the mirror.
"What's wrong with me?" Jun asked herself.
A few minutes later, Jirou stepped out into the hallway from his classroom and began making his way down the hall. As Jirou turned a corner, he noticed Jun standing at her locker. Jirou rubbed his eyes and looked back at Jun.
"Didn't she just return to the classroom?" Jirou said in confusion.
Jirou slowly approached Jun cautiously. Jun closed her locker and saw Jirou coming at her.
"Are you okay?" Jun asked Jirou.
"When did you leave the classroom?" Jirou asked Jun. "You were in there when I left a second ago,"
"Huh, I guess you were seeing things," Jun said as she walked past Jirou.
"Where are you going?" Jirou asked Jun.
"I still need to get some pictures done," Jun said as she held her camera in her hand.
"In the middle of class?" Jirou said as Jun turned the corner.
Jirou threw his arms up in annoyance as he sighed.
"I need to sleep more," Jirou said to himself.
Jirou came up to his classroom and opened the door. As Jirou walked in Jun was sitting in the back and dropped her pen. Jun leaned down to grab her pen as Jirou looked over towards her desk in the back.
"She really was in the hall," Jirou whispered to himself as he didn't see Jun.
Jirou sat down and looked out the window as Jun leaned back up. Beth noticed something was troubling Jirou and tapped on his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Beth asked Jirou.
"Yeah, it's nothing," Jirou said as he turned towards Beth.
Jirou looked over and saw Jun working at her desk and gasped.
"What?" Beth asked Jirou.
"When did she come back?" Jirou asked Beth.
"She never left since you did," Beth told Jirou.
"But I saw her in the hall at her locker," Jirou said to Beth.
"Are you sick or something?" Beth asked Jirou.
"I'm being serious," Jirou assured Beth.
The bell began ringing causing Jirou to become startled.
"You need to tell Jun about this," Beth told Jirou as she rose from her desk and grabbed her belongings.
"Agreed," Jirou said as he got up.
Jirou walked over to Jun as she was gathering up her books.
"Did you leave class again?" Jirou asked Jun.
"No, I haven't moved since I came back from the restroom," Jun told Jirou.
"Then who was at your locker when I wasn't in here?" Jirou asked Jun.
Jun began laughing as she made her way to the door.
"I'm not joking!" Jirou told Jun as he followed her out into the hallway.
"Look, I am the only me," Jun said to Jirou as they walked down the hall.
"Hey Jun, I hope those pictures you got of me turn out good," A girl said to Jun as she walked by.
Jun came to halt with a look of confusion on her face.
"I haven't taken any pictures of the cheerleaders yet," Jun said to Jirou.
"Now do you think I'm crazy?" Jirou asked Jun.
Jun turned the corner and walked over to her locker. Jun quickly unlocked her locker and opened it.
"My camera is gone!" Jun said in astonishment.
"Yeah, the other you had it," Jirou told Jun.
"This has to be Norio and his freaks behind this," Jun said to Jirou.
"It might be," Jirou said as Jun slammed her locker.
"Ms. Takayama, I thought you were taking photos in the library?" A man asked Jun as he walked up.
"Oh Principal Danielson!" Jun said as she turned around. "I was just about to head that way,"
"Good, I want our yearbooks to be phenomenal this year," Principal Danielson said as he smirked.
"Same here Mr. Danielson," Jirou said as Principal Danielson began walking away.
"Let's get to the library real quick," Jun said to Jirou.
"Yeah lunch can wait," Jirou said as Jun began walking away.
Inside of the Ranger's Base, Hitoshi was sitting at the computer trying to solve the problem with the sensors around the city. Hitoshi slammed his fist down on the desk in frustration as he failed to find a problem.
"It's like someone locked me out from accessing them," Hitoshi said to himself.
Hitoshi rose from his seat and began walking away from the computer when a warning suddenly appeared on the screen. As the alarm began going off, Hitoshi turned back towards the computer.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Hitoshi said in disbelief as he hurried back over to the computer.
Hitoshi quickly sat down and began typing viciously.
"Someone is trying to hack our computers!" Hitoshi said to himself as he continued typing.
The alarm suddenly stopped causing Hitoshi to sigh in relief.
"I need to do something before that happens again," Hitoshi said as he went back to work on the security system.
Back at the school, Jirou and Jun were standing outside of the library about to head in. Jirou looked through the window on the door and saw multiple students reading and studying. Jirou turned back towards Jun and sighed.
"I don't see you in there," Jirou told Jun.
"Then let's go in there and find me," Jun said as she reached for the door handle.
Jirou grabbed Jun's wrist and stopped her from opening the door.
"No, you stay out here," Jirou said to Jun. "We can't let people see two of you in there,"
"Fine, but make it fast," Jun said as she stepped aside.
Jirou opened the door and headed into the library leaving Jun in the hallway. Jirou walked past the counter where the librarian was sitting working on her computer.
"Where are you?" Jirou said quietly to himself as he walked by a table where multiple students were sitting.
One of the students at the table lowered down their book and revealed that they were Jun.
"What's he doing in here?" Jun wondered as she closed the book and set it aside.
Jirou turned around and gasped loudly when he saw Jun standing behind him.
"Don't sneak up on me like that," Jirou said to Jun.
"What do you want?" Jun asked Jirou.
"I was wondering if you'd like to get some shots of me and the others out in the hall for the yearbook," Jirou said to Jun.
"Sure, but we better hurry before next period starts," Jun said to Jirou.
"Then let's get going," Jirou said as he grabbed Jun by the wrist and began dragging her to the exit.
"Jirou, I know where the exit is!" Jun said as she pulled her arm away from Jirou.
Jirou and Jun stepped out into the hallway and quietly closed the door.
"Where are the others?" Jun said in confusion.
"Right here," The original Jun said as she stepped out from around the corner.
"What the heck?" Jun said as she began backing away from the other Jun.
"Start talking fake me," Jun said to her other self.
"I'm not the fake one!" The other Jun said to her other self.
"Look, you two better figure out what's going on here before someone catches us," Jirou said to the two girls.
"Jirou, I'm the real Jun," The Jun with the camera hanging from her neck told Jirou.
"You know that's not true," Jun said as she crossed her arms.
The lights suddenly began flickering catching Jirou's attention.
"What's going on now?" Jirou said in confusion as he looked up at the lights.
Alarms in the school started going off startling the three teens as they stood in the hallway.
"Did you have something to do with this?" Jun asked her other self.
"No, I don't know what's happening," The other Jun said as people began walking out of the library.
Jirou and Jun pushed the other Jun against the wall and stood in front of her to hide her.
"Do not get spotted," Jirou said to the other Jun as students walked by.
"Make your way outside, the fire alarm is going off," The librarian told Jirou and Jun as she walked by them.
"Fire?" Jirou wondered as the other Jun looked over his shoulder.
"I don't think there's a fire," The other Jun said as she noticed the computers in the library glitching.
"Then what could it be?" Jun said in confusion as her and Jirou's Ninja Comms began going off.
"Hitoshi, do you know what's going on?" Jirou asked Hitoshi as he held his Ninja Comm up towards his mouth.
"Is the hacking occurring at the school too?" Hitoshi asked Jirou.
"Is someone hacking electronics in the city?" Jun asked her father.
"It appears so," Hitoshi said as his voice began cutting out.
"Dad?" Jun said in confusion.
"Whoever is causing this must have gotten into the computers at the shop," Jirou said to both the Jun's.
"Then we need to find this creep and stop him before he finds out where our base is," Jun said to Jirou.
"Other Jun, you go find the others and tell them to meet us outside of the stadium in the city," Jirou said to the other Jun.
"You're really going to trust her?" Jun asked Jirou.
"We don't have time to discuss this," Jirou said as he began walking away.
Jun groaned in frustration as she turned towards her other self.
"You better not backstab us," Jun said to her other self.
"Don't worry, I'll go get them!" The other Jun said as she ran off down the hall.
Outside of the stadium in the city, Jirou and Jun ran up to where one of their sensors is hidden. Jun ran over to a tree and grabbed a small device that was hidden on a branch. Jirou caught up to Jun and saw her examining the sensor.
"I can't tell if something is wrong with it," Jun said as she handed the sensor to Jirou.
"Maybe it was fried?" Jirou guessed.
"It doesn't look like it was," Jun said as the sensor began glowing in Jirou's hand.
Jirou tossed the sensor away as Hacktrack emerged from the sensor glowing blue.
"Darn it, I was so close to finding the Ranger's base that time!" Hacktrack shouted as Jirou and Jun stood behind him.
Hacktrack slowly turned around and saw Jirou and Jun staring at him.
"Looks like we found the hacker," Jirou said as he smirked.
"How did you find me?" Hacktrack asked Jirou and Jun.
"Let's just say that you went a little overboard with your hacking," Jun said as she prepared to fight.
Jirou and Jun pulled out their morphers and placed their Ninja Power Stars on them.
"It's Morphin Time!" Jirou and Jun shouted. "Ninja Spin!"
As the morphers were activated Jirou morphed while Jun was standing next to him.
"How come I didn't morph?" Jun said in confusion.
"It looks like you're having a little bit of trouble with your morpher," Hacktrack said to Jun as he snickered.
"Maybe the other you had something to do with this," Jirou said to Jun as he pulled out his Ninja Star Blade.
"You're probably right," Jun said as she nodded.
"I'll take this guy on until the others arrive then," Jirou said as he ran off towards Hacktrack.
"Kudabots back me up here!" Hacktrack shouted as a group of Kudabots appeared in front of him.
Jirou ran into the group of Kudabots and began slashing them down one after another as Jun watched from afar.
"Come on!" Jun shouted in frustration as she tried to morph again.
"I think these bots need an upgrade," Jirou said as he stabbed a Kudabot and quickly kicked it aside.
Lightning blasts began hitting Jirou causing him to fall to the ground in pain. Jirou slowly looked up and saw Hacktrack holding an antenna like weapon in his hand. Hacktrack began snickering as he lowered his weapon.
"You look a little shocked," Hacktrack said to Jirou.
"I'm not in the mood for puns," Jirou said as he rose back to his feet.
Jirou ran back towards Hacktrack and swung his sword at him. Hacktrack blocked Jirou's sword with his weapon and quickly stepped aside causing Jirou to stumble forward.
"Not bad for a guy who sits behind a computer every day," Jirou said as he turned back towards Hacktrack.
Jirou placed his Ninja Element Star on his sword and changed it to Water Mode.
"Ninja Water Attack!" Jirou shouted as he spun the Element Star causing his sword to become surrounded with water.
Jirou ran up in front of Hacktrack and quickly swung his sword at him. Hacktrack narrowly evaded the sword as he stepped back. Some of the water from Jirou's sword splashed onto Hacktrack causing him to begin panicking.
"No, I can't get wet!" Hacktrack shouted in horror.
"Looks like I was right," Jirou said as he leaned his sword against his shoulder. "You can't get wet,"
"I'm going to fry you alive," Hacktrack said as his weapon began glowing.
Lightning blasts fired from Hacktrack's weapon and they flew towards Jirou. Jirou rolled aside and avoided the blasts causing them to hit a light post behind him.
"That was a close one," Jirou said in relief as he rose back to his feet.
The ground suddenly began shaking causing lightning bolts to shoot out of the ground and strike Jirou.
"Jirou!" Jun shouted in concern as she saw Jirou fall to the ground with smoke coming off his body.
"Now to obtain that Power Star of yours," Hacktrack said as he began approaching Jirou.
"Come on you stupid morpher!" Jun said in frustration as she tried to morph again.
Jun looked back over and saw Hacktrack standing above Jirou.
"I need to do something," Jun said as she began walking towards Hacktrack.
As Hacktrack went to grab the Power Star off of Jirou's belt, blasts began hitting the ground around Hacktrack causing him to move away from Jirou.
"Who did that?" Hacktrack said in confusion.
Logan, Mason and Beth pulled up on their Mega Morph Cycles with the other Jun riding with Beth.
"Whoa, why is there another Jun here?" Logan said in confusion.
"That's not important right now," Jun said to Logan.
"Yeah, let's take care of this freak first," Mason said as he stepped off his Mega Morph Cycle.
Jirou rose up and saw the other Rangers going after Hacktrack. Hacktrack blocked each of the Ranger's attacks from their swords with his weapon as Jirou rose to his feet.
"We need to get that weapon away from him!" Jirou told the others.
"Not a problem," Mason said as he swung his sword at Hacktrack again.
Hacktrack jumped back and avoided the sword. Hacktrack landed next to a car and aimed his weapon at it.
"This looks like a fun toy," Hacktrack said as he sent electricity into the car from his weapon.
The car started and instantly hit the gas and headed towards Mason.
"Did he just start a car?" Beth said in confusion.
Mason jumped over the car and safely landed on the ground. The car continued going and was heading towards Logan and Beth.
"Move!" Logan shouted as he and Beth jumped out of the way.
The car crashed into a light post knocking it over. The car then stopped as Hacktrack laughed evilly.
"Get him away from electronics," Logan said to the others as he jumped back on his Mega Morph Cycle.
"Yeah, we can't let him do that with another car," Beth said as Logan drove off towards Hacktrack.
Logan began firing blasts from the Mega Morph Cycle and nailed Hacktrack causing him to fall back to the ground.
"Do you think we can help?" The other Jun asked Jun next to her.
"I don't think so," Jun said as she looked down at her morpher. "My morpher won't work for some reason,"
"Is it because of me?" The other Jun asked Jun.
"Probably, but I'm not sure," Jun told the other Jun.
Logan pulled up next to Hacktrack and stepped off his cycle. Logan went to grab Hacktrack's weapon but was electrocuted as a lightning burst shot out of the ground.
"Logan!" Mason shouted as he watched Logan fall to the ground.
"Now that was electrifying!" Hacktrack said as he rose back to his feet.
"That was the same thing he did to me," Jirou said as Beth walked up beside him.
"He's using the cables underground," Mason said to the others.
Jun suddenly gasped when she realized something.
"That's it!" Jun said as she smirked.
"What?" The other Jun said in confusion.
"First we need to figure out how to become one again," Jun said to her clone.
"Try concentrating!" Mason shouted as he blocked Hacktrack's weapon as it was swung at him.
"Would that work?" Jun wondered.
"It's what I did to get the hang of my magic powers!" Mason shouted as he rolled away from Hacktrack.
"Mason's right, what if this is our power like how his magic was to him?" The other Jun asked Jun.
"Alright, let's give it a try," Jun said as she held her hands out to her clone.
The other Jun grabbed Jun's hands as the two of them closed their eyes.
"Come on," Jirou said as he grabbed Logan and picked him up over his shoulder as Beth and Mason were battling Hacktrack.
Jirou looked over at Jun and her clone. Both of them began glowing as they stood motionless with their eyes closed.
"It's working!" Jirou said in disbelief.
Jirou sat Logan down against a wall and ran off back towards Hacktrack. Jun became one again as the light faded. Jun opened her eyes and was relieved when she saw that her clone was gone.
"Now for the plan," Jun said as she pulled her morpher back out. "Ninja Spin!"
As Jun ran towards Hacktrack and the others, she instantly morphed and pulled out her Ninja Star Blade.
"Ninja Element Star!" Jun shouted as she pulled out the Power Star.
Hacktrack struck Beth and Mason with his weapon and knocked them away.
"Who's next?" Hacktrack said as he saw Jun running towards him.
Jun stopped in her tracks as she placed her Ninja Element Star on her Ninja Star Blade.
"Jirou, give me a hand!" Jun shouted to Jirou.
"Sure thing!" Jirou said as he placed his Ninja Element Star on his sword.
As Hacktrack began running towards Jun, Jun spun the Element Star on her sword.
"Ninja Earth Attack!" Jun shouted as she stabbed the ground with her sword.
A large hole appeared in front of Hacktrack as he took a step forward causing him to fall down into it.
"That's the oldest trick in the book!" Hacktrack shouted as he continued falling.
A tower of flames suddenly shot out of the hole as Mason and Beth rose back to their feet. Hacktrack shot out of the hole charred from the flames. Jun leapt into the air towards Hacktrack as her sword began glowing pink.
"Pink Ninja Strike!" Jun shouted as she struck Hacktrack with a powerful slash causing him to explode in midair.
Jun landed back on the ground as Jirou leapt out of the hole and landed next to her.
"Ugh, why do I feel so numb?" Logan said in confusion as he regained consciousness.
"I'm shocked that you're still with us," Mason said to Logan as he helped him up.
"Very funny," Logan said as Mason chuckled at him.
"I'm just glad we only have one Jun to deal with again," Jirou said as he placed his arm on Jun's shoulders.
A blast fired down from the sky and struck the remains of Hacktrack causing them to reform. Hacktrack's reformed body suddenly began growing as the Ranger's watched in awe.
"Looks like I've been updated to the next level!" Hacktrack shouted as he towered above skyscrapers near him.
"It's Megazord time!" Jirou shouted as he placed his Zord Star on his sword.
The Rangers quickly summoned their Zords and formed the Megazord. The Megazord landed in front of Hacktrack as Hacktrack struck building next to him with his weapon.
"That's enough!" Jirou shouted as the Megazord walked up and struck Hacktrack with its sword.
Hacktrack retaliated by hitting the Megazord with a lightning blast from his weapon.
"Whoa!" Logan shouted as he noticed the lights inside the Megazord began dimming.
"What just happened?" Jun said in confusion.
"I think he just drained some of our power." Logan said to the others.
"Then we need to avoid being hit by those blasts," Jirou said as the Megazord began approaching Hacktrack again.
"Here comes another!" Mason shouted as Hacktrack fired another blast at them.
The Megazord leaned to the side and avoided the blast as Hacktrack started running towards it. Hacktrack struck the Megazord with a kick causing it to stumble backwards.
"Now to try something else!" Hacktrack shouted as his eyes began glowing.
"What's going on?" Jirou said as the lights began dimming again.
"The controls are locked!" Beth said as she tried to move the Megazord's leg.
"We're a sitting duck now," Logan said as Hacktrack laughed evilly.
"This is it for you Rangers," Hacktrack said as he slowly approached the Megazord.
"Summon the Rumble Tusk Zord!" Beth said to Jirou.
"I'm on it!" Jirou said as he pulled out the Rumble Tusk Zord Star.
As Jirou went to place the Rumble Tusk Zord Star on his sword, blasts began striking Hacktrack causing him to become distracted.
"What is that?" Jun said in confusion as a UFO-like Zord flew by overhead.
"Another Zord?" Mason said as the Zord began firing at Hacktrack again.
"Knock it off!" Hacktrack shouted in annoyance as he swatted at the Zord with his weapon.
"Sorry I'm late," Kiyomi said to the others from the new Zord.
"Kiyomi, where did you get that Zord from?" Jirou asked Kiyomi.
"This is the Astro Zord," Kiyomi told Jirou. "It just became available today,"
"Talk about lucky!" Logan said in excitement.
The Astro Zord hovered down towards a building and transformed into its humanoid form resembling an astronaut.
"Hey Kiyomi, how about we put that Astro Zord to the test?" Jirou asked Kiyomi.
"You've got it," Kiyomi said as she spun the Astro Zord Star on her sword. "Activate Astro Ninja Steel Megazord Formation!"
The Robo Red Zord leapt out of the compartment on the front of the Megazord and replaced the Nitro Zord arm as the Megazord's right arm. The Astro Ninja Zord sat down in the compartment as an Astro Zord Star attached on top of the Megazord as its head.
"Astro Ninja Steel Megazord ready!" The Rangers shouted as Kiyomi appeared in the cockpit next to them.
"Controls are back!" Jun shouted as the Megazord dashed towards Hacktrack.
"This can't be happening!" Hacktrack shouted in disbelief.
"Astro Launcher!" Kiyomi shouted as the Megazord struck Hacktrack with its blaster.
Hacktrack stumbled backwards as the Megazord took aim at Hacktrack with the Astro Launcher.
"Cosmic Blast!" The Rangers shouted as the Megazord began charging a blast.
"I was so close to fulfilling my duties!" Hacktrack shouted in horror.
"Fire!" The Rangers shouted as the Astro Launcher fired three blasts resembling Ninja Stars at Hacktrack.
The blasts hit Hacktrack causing him to explode instantly.
"And that's a wrap!" Jirou shouted as the Megazord turned away from where Hacktrack was destroyed.
Back at the Rangers Base, Logan was gazing at the Astro Zord Star in his hand. Jirou took the Zord Star from Logan and walked over towards Hitoshi and Kiyomi.
"So Kiyomi, how many more of these Zord Stars are you hiding from us?" Jirou asked Kiyomi.
"That was the only other one," Kiyomi told Jirou as she took the Star from him.
"Still, it is pretty awesome to have a spaceship as a Zord now," Logan said as he sat down.
"Yeah, that's something I wouldn't think Ninja Rangers would have access to," Mason said to the others.
"So, how's Jun doing?" Beth asked Hitoshi.
"She's doing fine," Hitoshi told Beth. "She was training in the other room when I came down,"
"Really?" Logan said in confusion. "She was doing homework upstairs when I came in,"
"I thought she went to the football game at the high school for yearbook photos?" Jirou said to the others.
Everyone walked over to the door and opened it.
"Jun!" Everyone shouted at her at once causing her to freeze in horror.
"What?" Jun said as she turned towards them. "I have too many things to do right now by myself,"
An alarm suddenly began going off back in the other room. Hitoshi turned around and ran over to the computer. Hitoshi brought up the camera feed and revealed a Gold Ranger attacking the city.
"The time has come Rangers!" The Gold Ranger shouted as he fired blasts from his weapon at the buildings around him.
"Wait a second, isn't that the same color as the sixth Ninja Power Star was?" Jirou asked the others.
"Well, we know where it ended up now," Mason said to the others.
"Now the question is who that is?" Kiyomi wondered.
"I have no clue, but he shouldn't be attacking innocent people with those powers," Jirou said as he clenched his fist.
