Mack stood by the counter, staring down at the cupcakes Spencer had made. He was hungry, but he didn't know if he was hungry, or if he was just programmed to be hungry every few hours.

"Mack," Dax called, holding a piece of paper as he approached the sulking teen. "I've got a special delivery from your adventure book club."

He opened the package and smiled, "Ah, it's the new Baron's novel, the Baron's demise!"

"Just put it on the table," Mack sighed. Dax did as he was told, before spotting the cupcakes just sitting there, looking pretty.

"Are those Spencer's Specials?" he asked excitedly.

"Yeah... he made them for me and Kaylee..." Mack nodded. Dax reached out to grab a cupcake, before hearing they weren't for him.

"May I?" he asked. Mack nodded wordlessly as Dax dug in. "Oh... Mack you've got to try them! They're awesome!"

"I'm not sure if I even like cupcakes anymore," Mack sighed, "I don't even know if I like adventure books!"

"Uh-oh," Dax frowned, following his team-mate across the room. If Mack didn't like adventure books, something was wrong with the world. Maybe it was spinning backwards? "You know, I've heard of this happening? People waking up and not remembering anything!"

Dax put a hand on his friend's shoulder, "My name is Daaaaax," he said, making sure the android understood him.

"It's not that," Mack assured the boy, "it's just that I've spent my entire life – two whole years, if you can call that a life – doing exactly what my dad – if you can call him that – programmed me to do! I can't tell the difference between who I am, and my software!"

"This is what's known as an identity crisis!" Dax explained, "try new things, see what fits! If you want, we can see if you're really supposed to be an Australian!"

"I don't want to be Australian! I want to be Mack!"

"You know, my dad always told me, 'Dax, you can be whatever you want to be, just as long as you're not a stuntman'."

"Yeah... you're right Dax!" Mack smiled, patting the blue Ranger on the shoulder, "I've got to figure out who I am! It's time for an upgrade!"

"Go Aussie, my man!" Dax called after the boy as Mack ran to his room. "Once you go Aussie, you'll never go back!"

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

The Rangers and David all gathered into the game room as soon as they heard an electric guitar being blasted all through the house. As they stepped passed the large amps, they found Mack, dressed as a Rockstar, playing Kaylee's guitar.

"WHOO!" Dax cheered, jumping up and down as the music played. All the others were just watching Mack, wondering which screw was loose in his metallic head.

"Thank you, mates!" Mack yelled, throwing his fist in the air as he used an Australian accent to thank the crowd of seven.

As the noise died, except for Dax's cheering, Will looked around the room.

"Where's Mack?" he asked.

"It's still me, mates, I'm just trying new things," Mack smirked, "I wanna find my true self. So, what do ya think?"

There was a silence, as everyone exchanged glances.

"Oh... it was awesome..." they all told him. Mack smiled, before looking over at his girlfriend.

"Rose, you like it?" he asked her.

All eyes turned to Rose, and the pink Ranger felt as if she had been put on the spot.

"It... was... um.... great?" Rose told him, uncertain of her own answer. Mack didn't seem to pick up on it, however and smiled as he began playing once more.

Suddenly, the noise died as Spencer pulled the plug.

"I'm sorry to interrupt this Rocker's event," he said, "but Mr. Hartford needs you down in the command centre."

As the Rangers made their way downstairs, Spencer put his finger in his ear to stop the ringing, "In my day, one could get arrested for that."

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

"Rangers, we have a problem," Hartford announced before turning and seeing his son was a little.... underdressed for a Ranger meeting. "Mack... is... uh... is something wrong with your uniform?"

Mack shook his head, "No."

Andrew shook his head, before going back to the monitor, "There's a new Fearcat on the loose," he explained, "She's up to something."

A picture of the cat appeared in screen, and Tyzonn recognized her immediately.

"Crazaar!" he yelled.

"You know her?" Ronny asked.

"It's a long story," Tyzonn frowned.

"We'll have to hear it later," Hartford said, dismissing the team, "And, Mack, you might want to put on something more appropriate."

"Mack simply pulled off his wig, realising this wasn't really who he was supposed to be. But he swore to keep the accent; it drove his dad up the wall."

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

"So, you're a Power Ranger now," Crazaar laughed as she turned and spotted Tyzonn with the others, "Typical!"

"How did you..."

"You thought I was destroyed?" Crazaar smirked, "THINK AGAIN!"

He hands shone a bright blue, before she shot at the Rangers. The others were caught in the explosion, but Tyzonn jumped up just in time, and morphed in mid-air, before attacking the cat. With his drive detector, he countered every swing the cat threw with her staff. It was only a matter of time before Crazaar managed to hit Tyzonn, slashing him across the chest before he was sent flying backwards.

Crazaar stood over the Mercurian, ready to drop her last attack, but felt six lasers hit her back.

"I'll give you something to shoot at, Rangers!" Crazaar yelled.

"You kinda did!" Kaylee yelled, "Your ass!"

Crazaar lifted her staff in the air as a bright light shone in the sky. Suddenly, the Rangers were standing face to face against themselves.

"What?" Ronny frowned.

"AH!" the clones yelled, engaging their counterparts in a battle.

"Crazaar!" Tyzonn yelled, getting to his feet. He swung at the cat, hitting her across the chest with his detector. She was sent sprawling backwards for a minute, giving Tyzonn time to run at her and strike again.

Crazaar stood up, clutching her staff before swinging it, realising a blast of energy at the Mercury Ranger.

"Finally I'll finish this once and for all!" she laughed.

Tyzonn drew his blaster and shot, hitting her as she ran towards him.

"Lucky shot!" the cat yelled from the ground. "You may have won this time, Mercury ranger, but I will get you, and your little Rangers too!"

Crazaar disappeared in a flash of light.

"I'll get you!" Kaylee yelled, grabbing her clone with both arms, before it suddenly disappeared, "Aw, where did you go?" she pouted.

"Away from here, I hope," Rose smiled.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

"There's something I didn't tell you," Tyzonn breathed, looking at the others. "Well... some of you. It's about the day at the cave in. Crazaar was there as well."

Tyzonn looked around at the shocked faces before beginning.

"I thought Crazaar was buried inside because I didn't see her leave with Mig and Cheetar..."

"Why didn't you tell us this before?" Ronny asked.

"My girlfriend, Vella, was lost in the cave in," Tyzonn sighed.

Kaylee's hand flew to her mouth as she remembered when she had first met Tyzonn.

"Right..."

"This marriage thing... I had it, with a woman back home. We were going to get married soon... but I lost her in..."

"Tyzonn," Kaylee smiled, hugging him. "I can see how much it hurts. You don't have to tell me, if you don't want. All I really wanted to know... was if you were willing to earn our trust."

"Thank you, Kaylee," Tyzonn said. "Her name was Vella."

Tyzonn nodded at the two as he continued.

"She and I were inseperable... we were gonna be married..."

"I'm sorry, Tyzonn," Andrew nodded sincerely, as Will placed a hand on the alien's shoulder.

The alarm sounded, and Andrew ran for the computer.

"I'm getting two separate Fearcat signatures. They've split up," he announced. "Spencer, where's Mack?"

"I think he's strumming my pain with his fingers," Spencer told his boss. "Shall I get him sir?"

"No... I'll talk to him," Hartford assured the old man.

"I'll go after Crazaar," Tyzonn nodded.

"And we'll go after Benglo and Mig," Kaylee said.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

Upstairs, Mack was strumming his guitar as he sat on the couch, looking completely bored. Hartford slowly walked over to him.

"Mack, you got a minute?" he asked carefully.

"Yeah, sure," Mack nodded, sitting up straight to give his dad some room.

"I see you've taken up the guitar," Hartford smiled, nodding to the guitar.

"I know what you're gonna say, so save your breath," Mack growled, "if you wanted me to be a Rockstar, you would have programmed it..."

"That's not what I was going to say," Hartford interrupted him.

"Look, I don't know who I am," Mack sighed. "I don't know if I want to be a Rockstar, or a sports star, or no star... I'm just trying to figure it out. Am I allowed to have my own life?"

"Yes you are!" Hartford smiled, "and you're right. I want you to grow and explore new things, I always wanted that! You're not like every other kid, that's true, but you're still my son. I want you to find your own path, but don't forget your commitment to the team."

"No way," Mack smirked. "I love being a Power Ranger. Just... I wish it was my decision... not part of my programming!"

"It was you decision!" Hartford told him. "When you grabbed that morpher... it was all you."

"You mean it wasn't programmed?" Mack asked.

"No! I don't know how, but at the moment, you seemed almost..." Hartford stopped when he realised he had gone to for, though he hadn't said the word, Mack still caught onto it, and his smile dropped completely.

"Human?" he asked.

Father and son exchanged glances, before Mack took a deep breath, "I gotta help my team."

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

"Hey!" Ronny yelled as she and the others finally caught up to the Fearcats. "Remember us?"

"Fire!" Mig yelled, shooting his blaster as he and his comrade ran away.

"They don't usually run," Rose frowned.

"Maybe they have fleas?" Kaylee suggested.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

"We meet again, rescuer," Crazaar smiled as she saw Tyzonn approaching, "Oh, I'm sorry about your little friend in the cave, she seemed like a sweet girl!"

Tyzonn growled in pure anger as he attacked the cat. Though he was filled with rage, he wasn't morphed, and Crazaar easily tossed him aside.

"Give up?" she yelled as he picked himself off the ground and ran at her again. Crazaar stuck her foot up and kicked him down before he could try anything. Tyzonn tried getting up again, but she pulled the same stunt. In his rage, he was blind to everything around him, and slowly, he was losing the battle.

"Must remain calm," Tyzonn muttered to himself as he got up. He took a deep breath then threw a punch at the cat, hitting her dead on.

Crazaar didn't take long to recover, and quickly knocked him down once more.

Tyzonn suddenly felt a friendly hand help him up and saw Mack, standing beside him.

"Need some help?" he smirked.

"She's strong," Tyzonn warned him.

"Strong enough to defeat two rangers," Crazaar yelled.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

"They went this way!" Will called, leading his team through the forest and using his enhanced sight to track the cats down.

The Rangers were suddenly picked up off the ground by a net, trapping them all inside.

"This takes claustrophobia to a whole new level of weird!" Kaylee frowned.

Looking down, the Ranger saw they were hanging above a pit.

"That looks pretty deep," Rose announced.

The Fearcats arrived and Mig pointed a laser to the robe holding the Rangers up.

"This planet will be boring without you," he said, firing a shot that just hit the rope enough to weaken it.

"Anyone have a parachute?" Dax asked as the Fearcats ran.

"This is not good," Ronny frowned, gripping the net.

"Dax, reached into my boot, I still have Will's laser cutter," Kaylee called, kicking Dax gently so he knew where to look.

"You still have that thing?" Ronny frowned.

"It always seems to be saving your ass, don't complain."

Dax reached for the first boot he could find.

"Dax, that's my boot," Rose frowned. Dax rolled his eyes and tried with the other hand.

"Dude, hand off my ass," Will yelled.

"That's not a boot," Dax quickly pulled his hand away as Kaylee kicked him again.

"Over here, you bouncing baboon!"

Dax grabbed her boot and reached inside, pulling out the laser. He stuck his arm out and smiled.

"I got it!"

Dax began cutting through the ropes; making a hole big enough for him and the others to jump out off.

"Hold onto me, guys," he called. When he thought all the Rangers were holding him, he pulled out his zip shooter, shooting it so it would wrap around a tree branch and pull them out.

The four Rangers landed on solid ground, before turning to the net.

"GUYS!" Rose yelled as the net dropped down the pit.

"It's zwopping time!" Kaylee yelled.

ZWOP!

Kaylee grabbed onto Rose as the two plummeted to their death in the pit.

"Thank you for traveling on Zwop Airlines, hope you had a nice fall," Kaylee giggled.

ZWOP!

"Got her!" she smiled, dropping Rose on the ground as the two reappeared, safe and sound.

"Why do I feel weird?" Rose asked.

"Um... side effects may include nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea, or loss of limb?" Kaylee offered.

"No thank you," Rose frowned.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

Mack and Tyzonn were both knocked back by Crazaar. Both boys stood up, holding their belt and puffing their chests.

"You up to this, Mack?" Tyzonn asked.

"It's what I do best," Mack nodded.

"OVERDRIVE ACCELERATE!"

Crazaar kicked Mack down, but was immediately ambushed by Tyzonn. She shot electric energy at Tyzonn, pushing him back a few paces. Tyzonn ran at her again and swung his drive detector, but the cat caught it and threw it, and Tyzonn, down.

"Drive defender!" Mack yelled, swinging at the overgrown fur ball. As Mack was knocked away, Tyzonn jumped back in, overpowering Crazaar for a few moments.

"Red sentinel Ranger, activate!" Mack yelled as the Batalizer formed around him. Mack jumped into the air, holding two halves of the sentinel sword in his hand as he swung them around, creating blasts of energy that he shot down at the cat.

From the ground, Tyzonn pulled out his blaster and shot, just after Mack's attack, defeating the female Fearcat. As she exploded, a cup flew out of her body, landing before the two boys.

"So much for being powerful, huh Ty?" Mack laughed, picking it up, "Let's get this back to base to be analysed.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

"It looks like their holding some sort of cup," Rose said.

"A chalice?" Kaylee tried.

"It may lead to a jewel!" Tyzonn announced.

"I'll keep analysing," Hartford said, "in the meantime, why don't you guys take a much needed break? Perhaps work on your guitar, Mack? Kaylee can help you?"

Mack and Kaylee both turned to Hartford, giving him unwanted looks before leaving. Spencer walked over to his boss and sighed.

"It seems like every time you try to get close you just distance yourself, sir," he frowned.
