"My head," Josh groaned as he came back to reality. He looked and saw that his jersey, gloves and shoes were damaged. Josh then looked around and saw that he was in the middle of nowhere.
"Where am I? What happened last night?" Josh then started the journey back to New Mobotropolis.
"You called us," Lara asked as she and the others walked up to Thunder.
"Indeed I did. It seems we have a problem on our hands," Thunder said before letting the others see the door to his lab on the ground.
"What happened," Sonia asked.
"I'm afraid I don't quite have a response to that inquiry, Sonia. The door was in this condition when I had gotten here."
"You called us so we would find out what happened," Manik guessed.
"Precisely, young Manik. Last night, I had left Josh here so I could examine his wound. However, I found the door downed and Josh nowhere to be found. I contacted you so you could solve this mystery," Thunder said.
"Well, I can tell whatever broke down this door had to use a massive amount of force to crack through the reinforced steel."
"Exactly my thoughts, Lara. Either Josh was thrown into the door by someone or that wolf bite was more than meets the eye."
I know something happened last night yet I can't remember even the slightest detail, Josh thought as he walked through the streets of Station Square. As he was walking, he saw mass destruction throughout the city. He saw damaged buildings, overturned cars, and strange clawmarks on everything.
"What happened here," Josh asked as he walked past the destruction.
"We need to find Josh so he can tell what happened last night," Dominic said as he and the others entered Omega Ranger HQ.
"But we don't know where he is or if he's still alive," Lara said.
"Don't say that, Lara. Josh can survive any situation."
"How? He isn't exactly Superman, Sonia. He's bound to die sooner or later."
"You don't know that, Dominic. You're not Josh."
"Listen to what I'm sayin', Manik. Josh is dead and is never coming back," Dominic said seconds before Josh came into the room.
"Hey, guys. What's going on?"
"Josh, you're alive," Sonia said as she crashed into Josh.
"Easy, Sonia. I just got back from a long walk from the middle of nowhere," Josh said.
"That far out? Your feet must be hurting by now," Manik said.
"Trust me, they are. I need a long soak in a hot bath."
"Maybe after you answer a few questions."
"Ask away, 'Su. I'm game," Josh said.
"Where were you last night," Lara asked.
"What do you mean?"
"This morning, Thunder called us because the reinforced steel door to his lab was busted down and you mysteriously disappeared during the night. What happened to you?"
"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. All I remember is getting some rest and something evil awakening inside me. Everything after that was just a blur," Josh answered.
"What about your way here? Do you remember anything while you were on your long walk," Lara asked.
"Well, I did see mass destruction while I was in Station Square. I saw buildings that were half-destroyed, cars that were overturned, and strange clawmarks all over the city."
"And then you came back into New Mobotropolis."
"Yeah. Something happened in the time my memory was a blur and we need to find out," Josh said.
