Orion followed the girls into the clothing store they had been recommended, and couldn't help looking around in awe. His mouth hung open as he looked around.

"Well, if we can't find something you like in here, I guess we won't find anything anywhere." Emma stated.

"This store...it's bigger than my old village!" He gasped, looking around. He looked to Gia. "This place is only here for people to buy clothes?"

"That's the general idea." Emma stated, looking around for an assistant. She tapped a nearby employee on the shoulder, attracting his attention from where he was pricing up shoes. "Hi, um...we're here to see Gloria, the guy at the hair salon sent us..."

"I've been expecting you!" A woman replied as she approached them. She was wearing a white trouser suit. She had long, blonde hair that was held back by a couple of braids that were tied together behind her head. She approached Orion, eyeing him up thoughtfully. "Wow, Julian wasn't kidding when he said you were a 911 case! That'll be all Jimmy, I'll handle this."

The guy left, at which Gloria continued to inspect Orion.

"So, do you have any preference for designers?" She asked.

"Um...one that does clothes?" He asked. She just smiled.

"Any materials you like?" She asked. He just shrugged. "How about sizes?" Orion said something that sounded like no language Gloria had ever heard. Emma and Gia knew that he had said something in Andresian...it hadn't occurred to them that they wouldn't necessarily use the same units of measurement there as they did on Earth. Orion had even said himself that he didn't know how long he had been stranded by Earth standards, since he didn't really know how the days and years on Andresia compared to Earth.

"He...um..." Gia started to say. "If Julian called, you know who we are right?"

"Oh, I know all right." She responded.

"Well, he isn't exactly from around here." Emma explained. "I guess he doesn't know how we measure clothes."

"Alright, then we're starting from the ground up." She answered, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a measuring tape. "I'll just take some measurements. You'll need to undress."

"NO!" Both girls called out as Orion pulled off his shirt in the middle of the store. Everyone was staring. "Orion, there are changing rooms right over there."

"Well, at least I've got an idea what I've got to work with." Gloria said, eyeing Orion with a bit of a glint in her eye. She took him by the wrist. "Come with me, I'll take you somewhere we can get you measured up, then we can see what our options are."

Back on the Red Galleon, Jake was in his room, lying back on his bed when he heard a knock on the door.

"Are you still armed or is it safe to come in?" Noah asked him. Jake just sighed.

"Do what you like Noah." Jake told him. Noah came into the room, seeing Jake lying on the bed. He just looked at him for a moment.

"Alright, do you want to talk about this now?" Noah asked him.

"Why exactly does everyone want to talk?" Jake asked. "You already made your choice."

"Well, it was a little something to do with the fact you almost blew my leg off!" Noah responded. "Look, I know you have your reservations about Orion, but do you really need to act like a five-year old now he's on the team?"

Jake didn't say anything; he just continued to stare at the ceiling.

"Look, you're disappointed it isn't Jordan, we all are." Noah told him. "But right now we have Orion. It's not like we're exactly in a position to pick and choose allies right now. It's not like people are exactly lining up around the block to get a huge price put on their heads."

"Noah, would you give it a rest?" Jake asked him. "I'm not happy about losing the vote, that much is clear, but I just..."

"What?" Noah asked.

"I just don't want to risk losing any of you." Jake answered. "This guy, sure he's good. He's better than good, but it's not like I'm the only one that's noticed he's kind of a one-man-band out there."

"None of us were exactly legendary at the beginning." Noah reminded him. "Hell, I took down more of those loogies by accident than anything else in the first couple of battles."

"I just don't think we should be taking any more chances than we have to." Jake reiterated as he got up from the bed. "If he pulls his weight, we won't have a problem, but so far all I've seen is him sleeping in and going shopping!"

"Jake, he flew God knows how far across the galaxy, he needs some time to adjust!" Noah reminded him. "Sure, he got some time to relax today, but soon he'll be doing his fair share just like the rest of us."

"Yeah, well I'll believe that when I see it." Jake grumbled. "In the meantime, if he ever puts any of you in danger..."

"We're ALWAYS in danger!" Noah reminded him. "If he puts us in danger, we'll do something about it. Until then, we just have to make the best of it."

"Fine." Jake responded. "Is that everything?"

Just then, they heard an alarm. Noah and Jake both ran into the main room, finding Troy already at the computer with Tensou checking out the alert.

"What's going on?" Noah asked. "Is it another attack?"

"No, it's something different. I'm not sure what it is." Troy admitted. "There are some strange energy readings, see if you can figure out what this is."

Noah sat down at the computer and tapped a few keys, bringing up all sorts of data.

"So what is it?" Jake asked.

"It's something new alright." Noah told him. "Its energy, but nothing like anything Vekar's been throwing at us."

"Maybe it's Lafitte?" Troy suggested.

"No, it doesn't fit his profile either." Noah told them. "That's...OK this is strange, these energy readings, they have very distinctive signatures...the energy seems to be...this can't be possible."

"What isn't possible?" Jake asked.

"It seems to be travelling along the fourth dimensional plane." Noah answered. Troy and Jake just looked to each other, and then back to him.

"Wait, fourth dimension?" Jake asked. "Isn't that...?"

"Time." Noah confirmed. "Whatever that energy source is...it seems like it moved through time."

"We should check this out." Troy stated, patting Noah's shoulder.

"Wait, Orion and the girls..."

"We can call them if we need them." Troy interrupted Jake. "I want to see what caused this."

With that, they all got ready to head into the city.

Back at the clothing store, Gloria had finished taking her measurements while Gia and Emma waited patiently. She was now looking around the store, trying to find things she thought might suit him. There was a huge stack of outfits waiting for him, and Orion was in the changing room. He pulled back the curtain, and stepped out in his first outfit, a black outfit covered in zippers and metal studs. He just looked to the girls with an expression of disgust on his face.

"No...I don't think so." Gloria stated, shaking her head. "I don't think Heavy Metal is exactly your look...how about...island chic? Here, try this!"

She handed him the next outfit, a brightly-coloured aloha shirt with a t-shirt and long shorts. He didn't look convinced, but seeing Emma and Gia encouraging him, he went inside and started to get changed.

"Your friend has a really good frame." Gloria assured them. "I'm sure we'll find something for him."

Orion opened the curtain, coming out in the latest outfit. Gloria just sucked her teeth.

"Perhaps not." She suggested. "Still, I think we're getting closer. The grey t-shirt seemed to work, and I think the black jeans were a good idea, just...maybe not with all the metal. Here, let's try this."

She sent Orion back into the changing room with another outfit. Gia and Emma looked to her.

"We really appreciate your help." Emma told her.

"Oh please, it's an honour to know I'm helping the Power Rangers." She assured them. "A new Ranger deserves a new look."

Just then, Orion came out of the changing room. He was wearing black denims, and a grey t-shirt, with a kind of letterman jacket, and a baseball cap with the skip turned up. He stood before the girls, awaiting their judgement.

"Hm..." Gloria mused as she considered the outfit. "The grey and the black are definitely working for you, but I'm not too sure about the sporting look."

Orion didn't say anything; he just pulled off the jacket and hat, before making his way to a display, where a mannequin was wearing a shiny, silver jacket. He pulled it off the mannequin, and threw it on, pulling it down. He smiled as he saw himself in the mirror.

"Really?" Gloria asked.

"I guess its tradition...a Ranger IS meant to wear their colour." Emma conceded as Orion continued to check himself out in the mirror.

"Well, who am I to judge?" Gloria asked. "I've been trying to sell that thing for ages!"

"Can we get like...a dozen or so of everything he's picked out?" Gia asked.

"Of course, I won't even charge you for disposing of these rags." She answered, indicating Orion's old clothes. "Believe me, it will be a service to humanity."

"Thanks, we really appreciate it." Gia answered, pulling out some cash. Gloria took them to ring up the sale as Orion took a set of sunglasses off a display rack, and tried them on.

Meanwhile, on Boston Common, Noah, Jake and Troy were walking along the pathway, looking for any signs of a disturbance. They eventually came across a large crowd, gathered around an area that had been cordoned off by the police.

"Well, the scans seem to confirm it." Noah stated. "This is the place alright."

"It's just a shame there are so many people here. We can't get closer to see what happened." Jake added. "What do you suppose caused this?"

"There's a lot of energy in the area." Noah told them. "The readings say that it's a kind of radiation, but...it's not like normal radiation."

"What happened here?" Troy asked one of the spectators.

"I don't know, it was really weird!" The man answered. "There was a kind of whooshing sound, and then a bright light...next thing I know, the grass is burned for about 20 feet!"

Before Troy could ask anything else though, he heard a scream, following which a large group of Bruisers and X-borgs started to pile into the park. Troy, Jake and Noah all rushed to the attack, morphing as they went.

Elsewhere, Orion was sitting at a table outside a coffee house with the girls, a huge number of shopping bags surrounding them. They had effectively bought his entire wardrobe in a single day, including, at Emma's insistence, buying him a number of sets of pyjamas in order to ensure there was no repeat of the embarrassing incident at breakfast.

Gia watched him take a sip of his cappuccino, and the look on his face said all that needed to be said. He pursed his lips, and screwed his eyes shut, like he was trying to block out everything about the environment.

"You hate it, don't you?" Emma asked. He just nodded as he forced down what was in his mouth, regretting it almost instantly, given how hot the coffee was. He banged on the table with a fist.

"You're seriously telling me people drink this stuff by choice?" He asked them. "I had to eat and drink some things that were pretty bad, but this...!"

"It's not for everyone." Gia conceded. She was a fully-fledged caffeine addict, and didn't mind who knew it. She reached for a sugar dispenser, sliding it to Orion. "It's probably just a little bitter for you. Here, put some of this in it. It'll take the edge off.

Orion took the sugar dispenser and started to pour sugar into it.

"So, what do you think of Earth?" Emma asked him.

"It seems like a nice enough place." He told them, looking around, fidgeting a little unsettled by the surroundings. "My old village was nothing like this though...don't people talk to each other here?"

Gia looked around and chuckled as she saw what he was talking about. Just about every second person was on some form of cell phone, tablet, I-pad or other electronic device, and most of them weren't using them to talk to anyone, but surfing the internet or sending e-mails or performing similar tasks.

"I guess you have a point." Gia conceded.

"So what was Andresia like?" Emma asked him. He shrugged his shoulders.

"I guess I didn't see too much of it before The Armada came. I only saw my village and a couple of other towns." He answered. "We didn't have anything like this mall though. My own village only had about 300 people in it when...you know..."

"You said you were a miner there." Emma recalled.

"Almost everyone was." Orion told her. "The whole of Andresia's economy relied on the mines. There were a lot of precious minerals on the planet, especially near my village. Anyone that didn't work in the mines worked in haulage, or one of the shops the miners used...pretty much everyone's livelihood relied on mining somehow."

They both noticed that he started to become more than a little quiet talking about his home. They could guess that it was a pretty horrendous thing to think about. Maybe one day he'd be comfortable to talk about it. Gia saw him continuing to tip sugar into his cappuccino, and figured it was best to change the subject.

"So...um...do you want some coffee with your sugar?" Gia asked. Orion just looked at her blankly as she took the sugar shaker from him. He had to have put about six or eight sugars in his coffee. Orion stirred it, and tasted it, finding it more to his liking this time.

"Well...I guess Andresians like their sugar." Emma commented.

"This one does at least." Orion replied. Gia noticed the bracelet on his wrist. It was the one thing he had kept after the shopping trip. Orion had left his clothes with Gloria to be disposed of. Gia could only hope that they'd ended up in a firing barrel by now. However, he had kept the bracelet. It was an unremarkable thing, which looked like it was made of either tin, or some other low-value metal just like it. It was one of the first things she noticed about him when she first bumped into him, thinking that it was unusual. She was about to ask him about it, when their morphers bleeped. She and Emma took out their morphers, at which it occurred to them that Orion had left his on the Red Galleon for Noah to work on.

"What is it guys?" Gia asked.

"We've got company on Boston Common." Jake told them.

"We're not too far." Emma answered. "Gia and I will be there shortly."

Gia just looked to Orion, and gestured to all the shopping bags.

"Take these back to the Galleon." She told him.

"I can help!" Orion insisted. "If there's a fight..."

"We don't know if you'll need your morpher or not!" Gia reminded him. "Just take these bags and head back to the Galleon. We'll come back for you afterwards."

"But..."

"Just go! We don't have time to argue!" Gia put down aggressively. As Gia and Emma ran off, leaving some money to cover the bill, Orion got up and started to gather his bags. He didn't notice a figure in the shadows a short way off, watching him very closely. As Orion left the scene, the figure made his move, following him at a safe distance.

Over on the Common, Troy, Jake and Noah were taking care of their opponents, concentrating on allowing the civilians to leave. They knew that they could probably deal with them faster, but a thought had occurred to Troy. Because of the emergency services, they hadn't had much of a chance to really check out the scene. While the cops had helped with the evacuation, Troy was relying on the fact that once they had no more civilians to worry about, self-preservation would start to kick in and they would leave too, giving them some time to let Noah do some tests.

"Glad you could join us!" Troy responded, blowing a Bruiser apart with his blaster as Gia and Emma arrived. "So, where's Orion?"

"Don't tell me the new guy isn't joining us!" Jake scoffed as he turned a Bruiser into scrap metal with far more blaster shots than was really necessary at point-blank range. "God forbid we should expect him to actually do something."

"He didn't have his morpher with him!" Emma reminded him. "We sent him back to the Galleon."

"Alright, the last of the cops are gone." Troy stated as he saw the last of them leaving. "Let's finish these guys off!"

"How about we road-test some of the new keys Orion gave us?" Noah suggested, pulling out the Blue Space Ranger key.

"I guess there's no time like the present." Jake answered as they turned their keys in the locks. "Let's Rocket!"

"Spiral Sabre!" Troy called out as he drove his weapon through an X-borg with ease. "Not bad!"

"I just wish we had their old Zords!" Noah responded, taking down another couple. "I always wanted to go travelling in space!"

"Let's give these a try!" Gia suggested as her Star Slinger made short work of another, before pulling out the Yellow Galaxy Ranger key. The others all followed suit. "Go Galactic!"

Their Galaxy Sabres cut down their opponents with relatively little effort, and before long they were alone, surrounded by wreckage.

"Alright, that's the last of them." Troy stated as they de-morphed. "Make it fast Noah; it won't be long before the authorities are back."

Noah brought out a scanner and quickly got to work on the scorched ground. He looked to the others.

"Well, there's no doubt about it, radiation energy emanating from a fourth dimensional plane." He told them.

"So, it is a time traveller?" Jake asked.

"Time traveller?" Gia asked. "What are you talking about?"

"The energy that caused this came from the fourth dimensional plane...which is time." Noah informed them. "I think a gateway opened up here."

"And if a gateway opened..."

"I think it's safe to say that someone or something came through." Noah surmised.

"So, the question is, who came through?" Troy asked. "And why?"

Just then, their morphers bleeped. They all looked to each other, before Troy answered.

"What is it Tensou?" Troy asked.

"Rangers, there's been another energy release in the city, just like the first one!" Tensou informed them.

"Another time traveller?" Emma asked.

"Great, first aliens and now time travellers!" Jake complained. "What else are they going to throw at us?"

"We should get back to the Red Galleon." Troy suggested. "We can try and figure out what's happening from there."

Meanwhile, in another part of town, as the light of the second gateway dissipated, four people were left standing in a deserted street. They were all wearing bright white jump suits with black stripes down the sleeves and trouser legs. The leader, a woman with long, dark hair put on a set of sunglasses, scanning the area.

"The other gateway definitely opened up here." Jen declared as she took off her visor. "So now we just need to figure out where we are. Trip?"

"2014." Another member of the team declared, checking a hand-held scanner. "According to this, we're in Boston Massachusetts."

"Well, now we know where we are; now all we need is to find them." Lucas chipped in. "But...uh...we might want to change first."

Jen just nodded in agreement. They had been tracking down these fugitives for a while now, and had always seemed to be one step behind. They had somehow found a way to cloak their signal, meaning that it was difficult to find their location. This time, they had taken a risky option, and piggy-backed on their energy wave. It was effectively like grabbing onto a moving car and holding on for dear life. It would mean that they ended up in the same place, but that they wouldn't have any control over where they ended up. They had opted to travel in their Time Force uniforms since they didn't know what time period they would end up in. Their time in Silver Hills had taught them the value of undercover work.

Lucas pulled out a device, which he activated, calling forth a massive brief case. He placed it on the ground, and opened it, revealing clothing and money appropriate for a number of different time periods. He pulled out an outfit, throwing it to Katie.

"Alright, let's make this quick." Jen told them. "We have a job to do."
